Just Like The Movies: A Nostalgic Movie Podcast

This 1991 Action/Comedy gave us this non-Die Hard Die Hard movie, with Bruce Willis playing close to John McClane alongside Damon Wayans, with plenty of familiar face cameos and of course, a brief but wonderful time with Halle Berry. We get into the production drama, whether this was intended to be the next buddy cop franchise, and where it stands in the pantheon of Bruce Willis and action comedies all together.Thanks for listening, please tell a friend about Just Like The Movies, and enjoy the podcast.

An overlooked Tom Hanks comedy that represents the end of his pre-Oscar 1980s comedy run. This is one of Johnny's favorite Hanks comedies, though Mike doesn't feel the same. We still had a great chat about how 80's this movie is, including wondering if it would have been considered more of an iconic 80's comedy had it cast Gary Busey and Rick Moranis alongside Hanks?Either way, ya got Carrie Fisher, Bruce Dern, Corey Feldman, and the legendary BROTHER THEODORE holding it down. Plus you get an exclusive announcement from Mike on the Sharon Stone-less CASINO cut, coming soon. Thanks for listening to the program and as always be kind, rewind, relax, and enjoy the show!

Martin Scorsese gets the gang back together for another mafia classic CASINO, which we argue represents the back end of the primes for Robert Deniro, Joe Pesci, and Sharon Stone. A great movie that unfairly gets compared to his Mona Lisa, Goodfellas, but deserves its own place in movie history.

It is really hard to make a good comedy sequel, and the Ghostbusters team did their best. While it is not even close to the original, Ghostbusters II has to be considered one of the better comedy sequels. We pinpoint what prevented it from being as good as the first, which has a lot to do with its shift to a more family-friendly script off the success of The REAL Ghostbusters cartoon. Thanks for listening to our nostalgic movie podcast, and let us know what you think of the new intro music. We got ordered a takedown of AAF! Be kind, rewind, relax, and enjoy the podcast!

The only Steven Seagal movie we'll probably do, so let's have some fun with his most successful movie, UNDER SIEGE. Seagal is the Tommy Wiseau of 90s action, for the ironically good, and bad. But say what you will, the movie made its mark, and it features the OG Baywatch babe, Erika Eleniak. Next up we battle VIGO as we talk Ghostbusters II. Thanks for listening to our nostalgic movie podcast. Please tell your friends and as always, be kind, rewind, relax, and enjoy the show.

Nothing is over! We just wanted to get something to eat! Let's dive into First Blood, the kickoff to Sylvester Stallone's second successful movie franchise behind Rocky.

Let's talk about one of the most underrated Steven Spielberg movies, while also putting more respect on Christopher Walken's name.

Let's talk flops, turns, and rivers, but more than that a story of a guy trapped between his past and future, and the decisions he has to make to shape the rest of his life.
