Michael Jai White's action/comedy homage to his favorite blaxsploitation films of the 1970s. This movie has a lot of great comedic contributors, is full of laughs and nods to the fun and awesome action of those seventies classics. Also, arguably the greatest iteration of Richard M. Nixon in a movie. Subscribe to the podcast free on your preferred app and please tell a friend who loves movies about the show, just tell em to look up "Just Like the Movies" on any podcast app!

An episode all about the 1985 Arnold Schwarzenegger classic 80s action bonanza. We go way off the rails on this one and come to the unfounded conclusion that this movie required everyone involved with making it to be on a lot of cocaine.

Top Gun: Maverick is already one of the greatest sequels of all time, but more than that, it is a great movie on its own. We talk all about this massive sequel to TOP GUN and why it became such a massive success and is beloved by audiences.

Let's turn and burn as we revisit TOP GUN: Maverick, and have our fun along the way. Time to buzz the tower, one more time.

We aren't serious, but still don't call us Shirley. We're talking about the 1980 classic comedy 'Airplane!', including the fact that 95 percent of this movie's bits would cause an outrage online today. Back then people just laughed at them. This movie inspired many comedies after it, and gave Leslie Nielsen a whole new career in comedy.

If you listen to this episode, you have chosen...wisely. Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade is one of Johnny's top 5 favorite movies of all time, and also stands as both Mike and Johnny's favorite Indy movie. We get into all aspects of this Harrison Ford classic, put together by the unstoppable team of George Lucas and Steven Spielberg, with the backing of another incredible score by John Williams. We of course do not cover it without our brand of humor, and there might be thoughts on what the Knight did to bide his time all those years guarding the grail. We hope this episode gets you even more excited for Harrison Ford's final turn in Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny later this month.
