Sun, 31 Oct 2021 11:55:47 GMT

It's Hallowe'en and we take a bite out of the night with AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON and AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN PARIS! Yes, it's John Landau's celebrated 1981 horror-comedy starring David Naughton and Griffin Dunne and another similarly titled movie! Okay, at least Paris gives us Julie Delpy (Before Sunrise), but we have to endure some really bad CGI and a werewolf rave. We howl about both these flicks (for perhaps different reasons), but have they transformed over time?

This week we delve into the world of folklore and campfire tales with URBAN LEGENDS!

Get your clamshells on, you want to be wise to this tango. I'm talking L.A. CONFIDENTIAL. Dicks. Dames. The putrid smell of death under the porch of a sunny California bungalow. It's all here from the James Ellroy yarn. Guy Pearce and Russell Crowe flickering onscreen, Curtis Hanson behind the lens, it's gangbusters, kid. Heck, they gave the little gold man to Kim Basinger, and that was the year the Titanic sunk. But it's not all glitz and glamour, what with a certain fallen star in a leading role. Not to mention all the recent ink on no good cops and racism, and the complicity of Hollywood in whitewashing all their baloney. It all makes a two-bit wino podcaster's juice-soaked brain wonder, can ya even rewatch this thing?

COCOON

Fri, 17 Jul 2020 12:17:01 GMT

Grab your swim trunks, we're going for a dip with COCOON!

Did we mention there's aliens? It's not just old people doing aqua-fitness for two hours, though that is a large part of it.

In our day, this movie was a bigger hit than Quaker Oatmeal, but how does it hold up to our aged eyes?

TEAM AMERICA WORLD POLICE with Sina Rahmani

Fri, 03 Jul 2020 15:22:26 GMT

It's the July 4th weekend, so you better believe we're celebrating America (f-yeah!) by riding along with TEAM AMERICA WORLD POLICE! Melding the crass humor of Trey Parker and Matt Stone with the grand artistic legacy of marionette, and just a dash of geopolitics for flavor, Team America attempted to deflate the Hollywood establishment while offering a antidote to a polarized political landscape. But do its crude satirical jabs still land? Or... wait, is that puppet going down on that other puppet?

Wed, 18 Mar 2020 11:58:46 GMT

The world has been ravaged by a deadly virus and humanity forced from the surface of the Earth. Since those things also happen in 12 MONKEYS, it seems like an appropriate moment to revisit Terry Gilliam's 1995 sci-fi drama. Based on Chris Marker's La Jetée, 12 Monkeys tells the story of a man who is sent back in time to get information on the plague that wiped out mankind.

Lukas Haas. Names. Faces. Clues. You with me? Then let's dance. A lot of folks have it out for Johnson for mucking up their space stories. But word is his "Knives Out' is a sharp number. The question is, does "Brick" stack up as evidence of his filmmaking mastery? Or does it reveal him for nothing better than a genre-mashing hack?

Get your motor running, this week we heed our need for speed with THE FAST AND THE FURIOUS! Just as the Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson starring spin-off, Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw, revs its engine in cinemas, we look under the hood of the original starring Paul Walker as (shhh!) an undercover cop trying to infiltrate a drag racing group of thieves headed by Vin Diesel. This movie was too fast for us when it first hit the road, but how does it hold up now?

385- THE NEVERENDING STORY

Wed, 24 Jul 2019 11:00:00 GMT

Hold onto your luckdragon, this week we revisit the magic and wonder of THE NEVERENDING STORY! Starring Noah Hathaway, Tami Stronarch and Gerald McRaney, it's the story of a sad and lonely boy who gets drawn into a fantastical story and must save the kingdom of Fantasia. Directed by Wolfgang Peterson from the book by Michael Ende, this movie filled us with amazement when we were younger but how does the story hold up today?

Wed, 17 Jul 2019 10:41:59 GMT

Believe your eyes, this week we get transparent about HOLLOW MAN! Starring Kevin Bacon, Kevin Bacon's invisible genitals, Elizabeth Shue, Thanos himself Josh Brolin and Kim Dickens, Hollow Man shows us what would happen if literally the 2nd worst person in the world (after, uh, the President) was given the power of invisibility. Directed by the provocative and kind of icky Paul Verhoeven, this movie made us wonder about all the awful things we'd do if we were literally invisible. But how does it hold up now?

383- ANGELS IN THE OUTFIELD

Wed, 10 Jul 2019 11:05:24 GMT

Grab that baseball glove because this week your prayers are answered by ANGELS IN THE OUTFIELD! Starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Danny Glover, Christopher Lloyd, Tony Danza and really who else do you need? How 'bout McConaughey? Prayer answered! Adrian Brody? Prayer answered! Pigeon Lady from Home Alone 2: Lost in New York? Prayer answered! This movie taught us important lessons like how it's okay to cheat at sports using divine intervention, but how do we feel about it today?

382- LOCK STOCK AND TWO SMOKING BARRELS

Wed, 03 Jul 2019 10:59:50 GMT

Alright lads, gather round, deal for a squeal, LOCK STOCK AND TWO SMOKING BARRELS. It's a movie, innit? Guy Ritchie. Blokes. Jason Stathem. Vinnie Jones. That codger from The Police. We've got cards, we've got guns, we've got cockney rhyming slang. It was a fresh of breath air, with intricate plot mechanics and a guy beating another guy with a sex toy. My kinda film. We loved it when were munchkins, barely old enough to go bashin' skulls with our Pa, but how does it hold up now?

381- CHILDS PLAY

Wed, 26 Jun 2019 11:00:00 GMT

Pull your favorite doll close, this week we're down to CHILD'S PLAY! With the Aubrey Plaza starring remake currently in the cinemas, we take a look at the original movie that made children afraid of their own toys. Starring Brad Dourif, Catherine Hicks and one of the Sarandons, this movie and the pint-sized monster gave us literal nightmares when we were younger, but how does it hold up to three alleged adults?

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

380- MR DESTINY

Wed, 19 Jun 2019 10:48:41 GMT

This week we go to bat with MR. DESTINY, the 1990 fantasy movie starring Jim Belushi as a mediocre white man whose life would be anything but mediocre if he'd just hit that ball during the big game. It's like "It's A Wonderful Life", if Jimmy Stewart's biggest problem was that he wanted to bone the bosses wife. Also starring Linda Hamilton, Rene Russo and the great Michael Caine, we loved this movie when we were younger, but how does it hold up today?

379- FINDING FORRESTER

Wed, 12 Jun 2019 10:52:42 GMT

Unconstipate your thoughts, this week we go looking for FINDING FORRESTER, the 2000 dramatic film starring Sean Connery, Rob Brown and Busta Rhymes about the special friendship between a reclusive writer and a intelligent and promising young man whose brother is Busta Rhymes. Directed by Gus Van Sant, this is the film where Sean Connery says "You're the man now, dog!" and also, Busta Rhymes! Anna Paquin is there too, probably to get Busta's autograph. This movie inspired us when we were younger, and taught us that we're the man now, dog. But how does it hold up today?

378- ALADDIN

Sun, 02 Jun 2019 14:45:38 GMT

With the live action remake currently in theaters, we rub the lamp and make a wish to discuss ALADDIN! Starring Robin Williams as the one and only Genie, this 1992 Disney animated feature was part of the "Disney renaissance", you remember, when Disney expended all their energy creating original masterpieces instead of releasing lukewarm remakes. This movie blew our minds with its thrilling animation and energetic songs, but how does it hold up today?

377- POLICE ACADEMY

Wed, 29 May 2019 10:48:56 GMT

Attention cadets! Your assignment: POLICE ACADEMY, the 1984 comedy starring Steve Guttenberg, Kim Cattrell and the guy who makes noises with his mouth! Also featuring G.W. Bailey, Bubba Smith, this movie spawned seven sequels, which should be a prosecutable offense under the law. We loved this movie as when we were juvenile civilians, but how does it hold up now?

376- THE BLUES BROTHERS

Wed, 22 May 2019 10:57:11 GMT

Put on your dark sunglasses, this week we go on the road with THE BLUES BROTHERS, the 1980 musical comedy starring Dan Aykroyd and John Belushi, along with Carrie Fisher, Cab Calloway, Aretha Franklin, Ray Charles, James Brown and all those cool cats. Directed by Jon Landis, this movie was a huge success and cemented the star status of these SNL alumni, but how does it hold up now?

375- JOHN WICK

Wed, 15 May 2019 11:58:44 GMT

To celebrate the release of John Wick 3: Parabellum, we revisit the original JOHN WICK! Starring Keanu Reeves as a deadly former hitman out to get revenge for the murder of his beloved puppy, this movie came out of nowhere to become one of the most beloved franchises of the decade! Also starring Willem Dafoe, Ian McShane, Michael Nyquist and Alfie Allen, this movie raised the bar for action movies in North America, but how does it hold up today?

374- FACE / OFF

Wed, 08 May 2019 11:09:47 GMT

We take nothing at face value as we discuss FACE/OFF, the 1997 sci-fi action thriller directed by John Woo and starring John Travolta and Nicholas Cage as a cop and his nemesis who switch their freakin' faces! Also featuring Joan Allen, Gina Gershon and Dominique Swain, this insane premise blew our minds when we were younger and our faces were fresher, but how does it hold up today?

373- AMERICAN PSYCHO

Wed, 01 May 2019 10:57:24 GMT

Update your business cards, this week we get a little murder-y with AMERICAN PSYCHO! Directed by Mary Harron and starring Christian Bale, Reese Witherspoon, Jared Leto and Chloe Sevigny, it's the classic tale of somebody with too much money and power deciding they should kill people. Adapted from Bret Easton Ellis's controversial book, the movie American Psycho shocked and entertained us when it came out, but how does it hold up today?

372- TOY STORY

Wed, 24 Apr 2019 11:00:00 GMT

With the launch of Disney+ and the upcoming release of Toy Story 4, we wistfully look back at the original TOY STORY! Starring Tom Hanks as as the drawstring cowboy Woody and Tim Allen as Buzz Lightyear, Toy Story is the tale of a couple of toys who have to learn to play nice to get back where they belong. It was the first full length computer animated film and led the way for the rest of Pixar's animated empire as well as the medium in general and quickly became a beloved favorite, but how does it hold up today?

371- THE FISHER KING

Tue, 16 Apr 2019 14:12:59 GMT

In anticipation of Terry Gilliam's long awaited The Man Who Killed Don Quixote, we revisit 1991's THE FISHER KING, Gilliam's fantasy soaked drama starring Jeff Bridges as a disgraced shock jock who has to find a way to help a man whose tragic circumstances he feels responsible for. Also starring Robin Williams as Parry and featuring Mercedes Ruehl, Amanda Plummer and Michael Jeter, this movie showed us how wonder and magic can be found in a dark and tragic world, but how does it hold up today?

370- THE NET

Wed, 10 Apr 2019 11:00:00 GMT

This week we download the url to THE NET, the 1995 web-themed thriller starring Sandra Bullock as an 1337 hacker who uncovers a chilling cyber plot that threatens the information super-highway and loses her identity in the process. Also featuring Jeremy Northam, Dennis Miller and Ray McKinnon, the net dials-up the tension, but does it have the bandwidth not to crash with today's hardware?

369- BABE

Wed, 03 Apr 2019 11:48:59 GMT

This week we go down to the farm with BABE, the 1995 family film starring James Cromwell and a bunch of barnyard animals. It's a heartwarming story about a young pig who learns he can be so much more just by being his kind self. Isn't that nice? Also featuring Christine Cavanaugh and Hugo Weaving, this movie made us feel warm and fuzzy and slightly confused about pork chops, but how does it hold up now?

Wed, 27 Mar 2019 11:00:00 GMT

Gee golly, this week we explore a kinder, simpler world with PLEASANTVILLE, the 1998 comedy starring Reese Witherspoon and Tobey McGuire as two modern teens who are sucked into the TV set (and not in the binging-Russian-Doll-on-Netflix way). Also featuring Joan Allen, Jeff Daniels and Don Knotts, Pleasantville examines the rose-colored glasses of nostalgia and asks us to consider whether the good old days were so good and old after all. Which, of course they were!

Wed, 13 Mar 2019 11:00:00 GMT

Call your hetero-life mate, this week we hit the road with JAY AND SILENT BOB STRIKE BACK, Kevin Smith's raunchy comedy which was originally supposed to be the coda to his 'View Askewniverse'. You remember that, with the clerks and the mall and the lesbians who for some reason want to sleep with Ben Affleck. Now with Kevin Smith getting the gang back together for 'JAY AND SILENT BOB REBOOT', we ask— how do Jay & Silent Bob hold up today?

Wed, 06 Mar 2019 12:00:15 GMT

This week we celebrate an Oscar-winner by showcasing one of the seminal films in their œuvre, and that is Peter Farrelly's DUMB AND DUMBER. A tender, stirring emotional epic starring Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels, this glimpses into the lives of two, uh, idiots, as they transverse the country guided only by their wits and desire. This film moved us with its depiction of flatulence lit aflame, but how might we view it in a contemporary context? Knockers.

364- A GOOFY MOVIE

Wed, 27 Feb 2019 12:00:00 GMT

Gee gosh, this week we turn up the goof with A GOOFY MOVIE, the 1995 Disney animated comedy starring uh... Goofy, along with Max Goof, some other Goofs and Paulie Shore. The perfect cast! This movie overlaid the classic zaniness of early Disney animation with the crushing guilt of knowing you're a terrible son and not calling your folks enough. We loved this movie when we were younger, but how does it hold up now that we're a bunch of old goofs?

363- THE BREAKFAST CLUB with Bryde MacLean

This week we're stuck in detention with THE BREAKFAST CLUB, John Hughes' classic teen comedy starring Molly Ringwald, Judd Hirsch and Antthony Michael Hall! Bryde MacLean of the Turn Me On podcast joins us to talk about archetypes, crushes who look like Emilio Estevez, rough guys with soft edges and watching this movie way too young. The Breakfast Club defined a generation of teens, but how does it hold up today?

362- MURIELS WEDDING

Wed, 13 Feb 2019 12:00:00 GMT

Steal a dress and grab your copy of ABBA Gold, this week we're going down under for MURIEL'S WEDDING, the 1994 Australian comedy starring the wonderful Toni Collette, the amazing Rachel Griffiths and what else do you really need? This little-Aussie-movie-that-could, along with Strictly Ballroom and Priscilla Queen of the Dessert, helped put Australian cinema on the world map (though it should be held accountable for the crime of re-popularizing ABBA with the mushy masses). But how does it hold up today?

361- MINORITY REPORT

We've done the pre-crime, now we do the pre-time with Tom Cruise in MINORITY REPORT! Directed by Steven Spielberg and featuring Colin Ferrell, Emily Morton, Max Von Sydow and Tim Blake Nelson, this sci-fi dystopia looks at a terrifying world where you can't even kill somebody without some weirdos in a bathtub watching you the whole time. How do you defend yourself against a charge for a crime you haven't committed yet? And how does this movie hold up today?

Preggo my eggo, this week we're checking our pee-sticks with JUNO, the 2007 comedy starring Ellen Page as a precocious teenager who gets unexpectedly pregnant! OMG? WTB? IWJSM!

It's a story of love, betrayal, diamonds, snogging, those silly wigs British lawyers wear, pets, boots and betrayal (with a healthy dose of double-crossing).

357- THE RUNNING MAN

Wed, 09 Jan 2019 12:00:00 GMT

The year is 2019. America is in crisis. The media is used to manipulate citizens to the government's will. A rabid, blood-thirsty nation turns to the screen to get its daily dose of pain and suffering. But that has nothing to do with THE RUNNING MAN, the 1987 sci-fi- action flick starring Arnold Schwarzenegger as a man who stands up against tyranny and is forced to play a deadly game for survival.

We loved this movie when we were kids, but how does it hold up in today's dark dystopian present?

There goes the neighborhood, this week we settle into THE 'BURBS, Joe Dante's darkly comedic satire of middle-class suburban life starring Tom Hanks, Carrie Fisher, Bruce Dern and actor/musician Corey Feldman! It's a film about the danger of having too much time to bum around at home before you could just start a podcast. This movie terrified us when we were young Corey Feldman's age, but how does it hold up now?

Hark! It's December and as is tradition, we're spending the month curled up in front of the fire with some Christmas favorites! First up, EDWARD SCISSORHANDS, the 1990 film directed by Tim Burton, starring then-couple Johnny Depp and Wynona Ryder!

Starring van dyked Ben Affleck, Jason Lee, Jay & Silent Bob, Dwight Ewell and a bunch of other Kevin Smith regulars, this movie was notable for portraying queerness on screen at a time when it was still considered risky, making it seem progressive and cool. A movie by Kevin Smith! But how does it hold up today?

Kick off those Sunday shoes, this week we're talking about FOOTLOOSE! Glyn Bowerman of the Spacing Radio Podcast cuts in to cut loose on this classic film about a town that has banned dancing. Stunts involving motor vehicles, those are fine. Starring Kevin Bacon, Lori Singer, Carrie From Sex in The City, John Lithgow, who has had sex in a city, and Dianne Wiest, who more than likely has had sex in a city. Why's everyone so freaked out about dancing anyway?

Nelson, a bunch of uncredited people's skeletons, Heather O'Rourke, more skeletons, Zelda Rubinstein, skeletons and James Karen.

Directed by the master of horror John Carpenter and starring Kurt Russell, Wilfred Brimley, Richard Masur, some dudes, a dog and a thing, the reception to this film was initially as warm as the Antarctic winds in January.

Wedding bells are ringing on Rewatchability! With Blain's nuptials on the horizon, we celebrate by saying "I Do" to THE WEDDING SINGER! Starring Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore, as well as Christine Taylor, Rapping Granny, and all of Adam Sandler's annoying friends, this movie marries the tenderness of the late 90's rom-com with, well, Adam Sandler's schtick.

340- DISTURBING BEHAVIOR

Wed, 05 Sep 2018 10:56:52 GMT

It's September, which means it's back to school, and your first lesson is on DISTURBING BEHAVIOR, the 1998 teen sci-fi horror starring James Marsden, Katie Holmes and Nick Stahl, as well as Bruce Greenwood and a bunch of other old creepy Canadian people. Set in an idyllic small town where the good kids seem a little too good (if you ignore all the killing), this movie made us question the motivations of everyone, man, it's like they're all robots or zombies of society, Man. But how does it hold up now?

339- THE NAKED GUN

Wed, 29 Aug 2018 09:12:59 GMT

This week we stare down the barrel of THE NAKED GUN: FROM THE FILES OF POLICE SQUAD! Starring the late, great Leslie Nielsen as Lieutenant Frank Drebin, as well as the not-so-late and not-so-great OJ Simpson and a lot of people who fall probably somewhere in between including Priscilla Presley, George Kennedy and Khan himself, Ricardo Montalban! Packed with gags, puns and references to cop shows that nobody remembers, we loved this movie when we were younger, but how does it hold up today?

Also, get tickets for our August 29th, 2018 screening of Ben Stiller's THE CABLE GUY at The Royal in Toronto!

338- ZOOLANDER with Graham Isador

Wed, 22 Aug 2018 10:26:23 GMT

Fashion. Glamour. ZOOLANDER! We walk the catwalk with Ben Stiller's satire of the fashion world. Ooh la la. Give me more. Good. Directed by Ben Stiller, and starring Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson as well as Christine Taylor and Jerry Stiller and basically every other person Ben Stiller is related to or ever met, this movie made us believe there's more to life than being ridiculously beautiful, but how does it hold up today?

337- PINEAPPLE EXPRESS

Wed, 15 Aug 2018 10:56:57 GMT

Roll a couple for the road, this week we're flying high on the PINEAPPLE EXPRESS! Starring Seth Rogan as a guy who smokes weed and James Franco as a guy who sells it, this stoner comedy/action film hybrid defied expectations, like a really good hybrid that you feel in your body but doesn't leave you couch-locked. Directed by David Gordon Green and produced by Judd Apatow, this movie helped make Seth Rogan one of the biggest stars of the 2000's to be baked 24/7, but how does it hold up now?

336- GATTACA

Wed, 08 Aug 2018 07:56:54 GMT

Strap a bag of someone else's pee onto your leg, this week we go into GATTACA, the 1997 Sci-Fi drama starring Ethan Hawke, Uma Thurman and Jude Law. Set in a future where gene editing has become the norm, and those who were born "naturally" are marginalized, this is the story of one man trying to be more than his genes. This movie fascinated us with it's glimpse of the future, but how does it hold up today?

335- MYSTERY MEN with Tom McGee

Wed, 01 Aug 2018 10:28:25 GMT

Don your capes and polish your forks, this week we fight evil with the MYSTERY MEN, the 1999 send up of superhero movies starring Ben Stiller, William H. Macy, Hank Azaria and Janeane Garofalo as the most hopeless superhero team since, uh, Zack Snyder's Justice League. Released in the wake of the Batman & Robin, this movie bombed despite its star studded cast including Tom Waits, Oscar Winner Geoffrey Rush and Pee-Wee. We loved this movie when we weren't saturated with superheros and comic book adaptations, but how does it hold up today?

334- MEN IN BLACK

Wed, 25 Jul 2018 09:00:00 GMT

*FLASH* This week we are not talking about MEN IN BLACK, the 1997 sci-fi action comedy starring Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones. You will forget this movie was ever directed by Barry Sonnenfeld, that Linda Fiorentino and Vincent D'Onofrio appear in it. Also, Rip Torn, who you will forget we thought was dead. This was movie was never a favorite of ours because it never existed, but if it did exist and we did rewatch it, how would it hold up now?

333- REVENGE OF THE NERDS

Wed, 18 Jul 2018 09:00:00 GMT

Grab your pocket protector, this week we suffer REVENGE OF THE NERDS, the 1984 comedy starring Anthony Edwards and Robert Carradine as a four-eyed nerds who set out to turn the tables on the bullies, jocks and frat boys and show the world that there's nothing wrong with being a nerd-- except for all the toxic, awful things that nerds do. Also featuring Timothy Busfield, John Goodman and the guy who voiced Leonardo in the Ninja Turtle movies (NERD), this movie gave a voice to pale, socially inept and awkward, but how does it hold up today?

332- THE BODYGUARD

Wed, 11 Jul 2018 09:00:00 GMT

With the Whitney Houston documentary Whitney in cinemas, we decided it was a good time to revisit THE BODYGUARD, the 1992 romantic thriller starring Kevin Costner, Whitney Houston, Bill Cobbs, and one of the bad guys from Dumb & Dumber. Also, I think Whitney may sing a song in it! No such luck for fans of Kevin Costner's musical œuvre. It's a movie where duty and passion are crossed like two samurai swords, or maybe a samurai sword and a tv camera-gun. This movie intrigued us as a very adult movie when we were younger, but how does it hold up today?

Also there are freemasons! And clues! And Diane Kruger. And Christopher Plummer for one scene, who is a Canadian National Treasure.

Wed, 27 Jun 2018 09:00:00 GMT

It's the end of the school year and this week we're skipping class to stay home and rewatch FERRIS BUELLER'S DAY OFF, the 1986 teen comedy directed by John Hughes and starring Matthew Broaderick as the titular Ferris Bueller as well as Alan Ruck and Mia Sara as two characters who aren't in the title, despite also taking the day off. We loved this movie when we were too young to have fully formed concepts of responsibility, but how does it hold up now?

Wed, 20 Jun 2018 09:43:58 GMT

Lights! Camera! Scream! This week Alexandra West joins us to talk about SCREAM 3, a movie she argues takes on a new light following the #MeToo movement and the allegations against Harvey Weinstein (who was a producer on this film, ugh). Starring Neve Campbell, Courtney Cox, a magical vocoder, David Arquette and Parker Posey, we thought this movie was a scream (haha) when we were younger, but how does it hold up today?

Believe it or not, this week we're telling TRUE LIES! It's the 1994 action movie starring Arnold Schwarzenegger as a spy and Jamie Lee Curtis as his wife who doesn't realize he's a spy! Also Tom Arnold is there to remind you how mad you still are about the Roseanne reboot debacle. This movie combines two of Hollywood's favorite things; lying to a spouse and blowing up terrorists. We loved True Lies when we were younger, but how does it hold up now?

327- OCEAN'S ELEVEN

Wed, 06 Jun 2018 10:17:54 GMT

In anticipation of Ocean's 8, the spin-off now hitting theaters, we harken back to where it all began (again) with OCEAN'S ELEVEN! This 1999 Steven Soderbergh heist flick, a remake of the 1960 Rat Pack picture, was a real hit with audiences for its one-two combo of charming movie stars and grand larceny. Featuring Brad Pitt, Julia Roberts, Bernie Mac and Amal Clooney's husband, this movie had everything (if by everything you mean celebrities and a heist) but how does it hold up now?

326- DOUBLE JEOPARDY

Wed, 30 May 2018 09:30:00 GMT

"What is DOUBLE JEOPARDY?"

"That is correct. You have the board."

"I'll take movies that are a Rip-Off of The Fugitive for $200."

"This actor just can't help himself from helping people wrongfully accused of murder."

"Who is Tommy Lee Jones?"

"Correct. Final clue. You thought this movie was thrilling when you were younger, but how does it hold up now?"

Also featuring John Goodman, Frances MacDormand and a bunch of babies that who knows what happened to them and if they had mommas that loved them, this movie introduced us to a lighter, but no less brilliant side of the Coen brothers, but how does it hold up now?

Preston, with Keanu Reeves as Ted 'Theodore' Logan, it's a movie about two time-travelling dudes who will have a massive effect on history, despite almost flunking history. Also featuring the most righteous George Carlin as Rufus, as well as a bunch of historical dudes and babes who are also most excellent, this movie changed the course of history (for some of us), but how does it hold up in the most bogus present of 2018?

In preparation for Marvel's Avengers: Infinity War, we go way back to where it all began with IRON MAN, Jon Favreau's 2008 comic book adaptation starring Robert Downey Jr., Terrance Howard, Gwyneth Paltrow and the Dude himself, Jeff Bridges! This movie has everything; metallurgy, a stripper pole that appears from the floor of an airplane, caves, and a man who is so rich and so smart that he can be a jerk to everyone and they have to put up with him. This movie wowed us when we first saw it, but has it lost its luster?

Yes, this week we're mane-lioning THE LION KING, the 1994 Disney animated feature featuring the voices of Jonathan Taylor Thomas, James Earl Jones, Whoopi Goodberg and Jeremy Irons as the fearsome Scar (which I believe is short for Scaramouche).

Directed by Simon West (who brought us the classic Con Air) this film takes everything you love about Indiana Jones, namely the archaeology, and updates it by having Lara Croft shoot two (2!) pistols!

Starring Joseph Fiennes and Gwyneth Paltrow, as well as Ben Affleck, Geoffrey Rush, Imelda Staunton, Simon Callow, Colin Firth and a bunch of other actors who probably wish they were doing actual Shakespeare, this movie stirred a sense of romance in our adolescent hearts, but how does it hold up hence?

It's a modern holiday classic about a jerk trying his darndest to make a nice Christmas for his family, including lil' Johnny Galecki and Juliette Lewis.
