The Just Like The Movies podcast is a must-listen for any film enthusiast. These hosts are true film buffs, and they have a unique ability to make you rethink how you first viewed a movie. If you enjoy going on a deep dive into the world of cinema, this podcast is perfect for you. I was particularly captivated by their episode on The Big Lebowski. They delve into the movie's themes, characters, and hidden meanings in a way that left me with a whole new appreciation for the film. It's clear that these hosts have done their research and have a wealth of knowledge to share.
One of the best aspects of this podcast is its conversational style. The hosts genuinely sound like good friends just having a casual chat about films they love. This creates an inviting atmosphere that makes you feel like you're part of the conversation. As they discuss various movies, it feels like reminiscing with old friends around a campfire. It's not just an educational experience; it's also an enjoyable and entertaining one.
However, as with any podcast, there are some downsides to consider. One possible drawback is that the episodes can be quite lengthy. While this is great if you want to immerse yourself in detailed analysis and discussion, it may not suit those looking for quick snippets or bite-sized content. Additionally, some listeners may find the hosts' casual approach too laid back or unprofessional compared to more structured podcasts.
In conclusion, The Just Like The Movies podcast is a hidden gem for film lovers seeking in-depth analysis and conversation about their favorite movies. The hosts' passion and knowledge shine through in every episode, making it an enlightening experience that will leave you with fresh insights into beloved films from your childhood to adulthood. While the conversational style may not appeal to everyone, I highly recommend giving this podcast a listen if you appreciate thoughtful discussions about cinema and want to gain a deeper understanding of the films you love.
Time for another Arnold Schwarzenegger flick as we talk 1987's The Running Man! This movie might serve as the last true 80s Arnold action movie, and perhaps for good reason.

Let's talk about Mike Judge's Office Space, a movie that hits a bit harder now than it did when we were teenagers. From the monotony of office life to yearning for more, Office Space ages with its audience in a good way.

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.

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.

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 badass as it gets. Must listen.

Before you see Scream 6, revisit the original with us! The fact that we needed to add the year to the title of this episode is annoying. Thanks, Scream 5! But anyway, we are talking about SCREAM the 1996 slasher that put the genre back on the map in a revitalized way, by poking fun at its cliches and trends. This movie is in Johnny's TOP 10 of all time because of the influence it had on his love for movies, though Mike's love for it has faded over time.

This podcast episode is dedicated to the 1994 college comedy PCU. After Animal House and before Old School, there was PCU, a movie that developed a cult following in the years following its release, but one that misses the mark a bit. We discuss what we enjoy about the movie and also dive into some of the different choices the filmmakers could have made to vault this one into legacy status, including making it rated R. And yes, we both wore the shirt of the pod we're in, we are, in fact, that guy.

Head back to 1999 with us as we discuss one of the best cult films of our time, FIGHT CLUB! There was an idea (not serious) to just post 90 minutes of literal silence, but we decided against it, you decide whether we made a good choice. This movie doesn't fit into one genre, and the psychology and anti-consumerism themes hit a bit harder than we might have realized, as we have one of our deeper discussions in our pod's history.
