The Wolf of Wall Street

Dec 11 2024 94 mins

Bring your ludes, its time for debauchery as we talk about Martin Scorsese's The Wolf of Wall Street. Leonardo Dicaprio leads the way, giving Marty his highest grossing movie of all time, which launched the career of Margot Robbie. We both can't stand Jonah Hill though, sorry in advance for big fans of his. Subscribe to Just Like the Movies on Apple or Spotify and tell your friend

Mallrats

Nov 21 2024 94 mins

Jeremy London's performance aside, Mallrats is still a lot of fun. We revisit Kevin Smith's second movie which takes his style and puts a comicbook lens over it. Jason Lee's breakout performance is really what puts this movie on the map and keeps it there, though we reflect fondly on classic bits from Jay and Silent Bob too. Feel free to listen to this episode in the back of a Volk

Training Day

Nov 07 2024 114 mins

King Kong aint got s*** on this podcast! We're talking Training Day, where it took Denzel Washington playing a really bad dude to earn him a best actor Oscar. But what was the secret sauce to making this movie standout above the rest of its kind? Did you know Eminem was offered the role of Jake? Ethan Hawke might have saved the...Training Day, baby?

Casino Royale (2006)

Oct 23 2024 123 mins

Our second venture in James Bond movies takes us to Daniel Craig's debut, the reboot Casino Royale. A fresh take on the character while restoring that classy, classic feel of old Bond films. Of course, plenty of tangents along the way including wondering what is wrong with guys who don't find Amanda Seyfried attractive, even though she has absolutely nothing to do with this movie.

Alien

Oct 09 2024 99 mins

Journey with us back to 1979 as we talk about the movie that launched Sigourney Weaver's career and put Ridley Scott on the map as a director to pay attention to. ALIEN might not have aged all that great, but its legacy stands as a very influential movie that had influences of its own. Lot of fun tangents on this one. What's the difference between a Diddy party and a James Cameron

Caddyshack

Sep 04 2024 76 mins

Is Caddyshack a golf movie or a movie about people that happen to be at a country club? Either way with comedic heavy hitters Rodney Dangerfield, Bill Murray, Chevy Chase, Ted Knight, and more, this movie is carried more by its personal rivalries and improvisational humor than it is about approach shots and two-putts. And the story behind how they filmed its explosive finale is as

Good Will Hunting

Aug 19 2024 93 mins

We revisit one of Johnny's all-time favorites, the movie that finally earned Robin Williams Oscar gold, as well as Damon and Affleck for writing!

This Is Spinal Tap

Jul 24 2024 97 mins

This Is Spinal Tap really put mockumentaries on the map after becoming one of the biggest cult classics of all time. We talk about the movie, its upcoming sequel which they just finished filming, with a bevy of tangents centered around rock music history and Johnny's love for Fran Drescher.

Beverly Hills Cop

Jul 10 2024 94 mins

Before Lethal Weapon, before Die Hard, there was Beverly Hills Cop, where Eddie Murphy shined in a very young prime with his signature humor and underrated overall performance. Because the movie is so straight forward, gear up for one of the most tangent-loaded episodes to date, and perhaps the closest thing to hanging out with us at a bar talking movies. We hope you enjoy it! Sub

The Silence of the Lambs

The best of the Hannibal Lecter batch, no question about it. Now put the lotion in the basket, and enjoy the show!
