You Can't Do That Anymore!

We are joined by Justin and Doug of the Mind Gap Podcast to discuss the beloved film The Goonies. What still works about the classic film and what has not aged well.

We are LIVE at WonderCon 2022! Blake and Anastasia are joined by Ed Greer and Jamie Jirak to discuss Spider-Man No Way Home, its impact on the super hero genre, how it has made look at older super hero movies, and to debate the question, is the super hero story stronger when we keep the villain alive and/or try to rehabilitate them?

Jon Barr joins us as we discuss Teen Witch, a wholesome comedy classic with some certain themes and ideas that may not play well to a modern audience, but what will always play to an audience are those song and dance numbers!

Lon Harris (writer for Screen Junkies) joins us this week as we continue our second season of You Can't Do That Anymore. We discuss Silver Stream, a fun comedy with one giant glaring issue, why this idea was used in the film and why Hollywood continues to do so even though it never is done well or remembered fondly.

Christian Humes (producer and host of The Unranked Podcast) joins us to discus Live and Let Die, one of James Bond's biggest misfires, all the problematic content that is in the movie, and why some of these odd choices were made, and how the Bond franchise managed to recover from it.

Content Warning: This episode is about the movie Caligula, which deals with topics about sex and sexual violence. Welcome to Season Two of You Can't Do That Anymore! Our podcast focusing on older movies that may deal with themes or topics that you couldn't do the same way today, and how they could have adjusted these issues. Season Two kicks off with Matt Dorado and Mak Manson (creators of The Cosmic Game a new interactive audio drama) to discuss Caligula. A movie funded my Penthouse about the fall of Caligula, and why its overt sexual themes and ideas don't fit and distract from some very good performances. How the movie could be reworked today and how sexual themes in stories have been done well and done poorly.

West Side Story is a classic musical that brought the medium to the mainstream. But, even on its original run it was littered with controversy on how it handled its representation and the offensiveness of some songs. This week we are joined by Rojelio Ovalle (Former content producer of the Oscar-nominated film "Breakthrough"and Emmy winning shows such as Innovation Nation and Lucky Dog) to discuss what does and does not hold up in the classic tale. What we want from the newest adaptation, and how it is still relevant to modern audiences.

This week we dive into some unique Disney history with The Three Caballeros. An effort to create animated movie to assist with foreign relationships, which is filled with some good and some bad interpretations. We talk with Matt Dorado and Mak Manson (creators of The Cosmic Game a new interactive audio drama) to discuss what works in this package movie, what doesn't and the impact its had on animation.

This week we are joined by Mary Upchurch (Wings With Friends Podcast, Comedian) to discuss Kindergarten Cop. With a recent screening cancelled due to the current climate we look back to see if it was worth not having the screening, what has aged well in the movie and what hasn't and if you could still make a movie like this today.

We are joined by Sarah Albritton (Sleeping with Sarah Podcast) to talk about Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo. The movies treatment of disabilities, and how some of the jokes would hold up in 2021.

We are joined this week by Alex Seligsohn (Comedian, writer at Queercoded.com) to talk about Sex and the City 2, how the movie doesn't reach any of the heights of the franchise, why you can't or shouldn't do a lot of it in 2021, and how to avoid these issues in the upcoming new series.

Marian Yesufu (Comedian) joins us this week for The Craft! A movie that takes its spells and magic from another culture, without addressing any of those implications, makes light of some mental health issues, and has some mixed messaging. The movie is still considered a cult classic by many and important to the horror and teen genre for breaking down barriers and changing up tropes. But does the movie hold up today? Can you still do that?

Michele Baci (Therapy Roulette Podcast) joins us for Legally Blonde! A comedy that was very important to woman and comedies, and led a huge box office in 2001. But in 2020 we go back and look at some of the problematic issues in the movie, discuss whether it did enough for some of the topics and themes it covers and our hopes for what the third movie might be like.

Shaun Rosado joins us this week to look back on Sixteen Candles, a movie that changed how we viewed teen, high school comedies and furthered the genre ahead leading to things like Booksmart and even Spider-Man Homecoming. However, our views on the movie have changed as we notice that a movie celebrated for telling "normal" teen stories, treats any ethnic character like a stereotypical cartoon, normalizes date rape and positions it as a way for girls to realize how good a boy is.

David Crownson (Harriet Tubman: Demon Slayer) joins us to discuss Good Will Hunting, the hit movie of the 90s that brought Boston as a set piece and genre to the forefront of filmmaking, but now we wonder if the attitude of the police works in 2021, if the language they use for woman and minorities still has a place in "charming" movies, and a predatory teacher who seemingly is chasing down every student he has. Can you still do this movie in 2021?

Holly Anabel Brown (LA Based Stand Up Comedian, Well Actually Podcast) joins Blake and Anastasia as they travel back to somewhat real and somewhat fictional Chicago IL in the late 90s to see if Never Been Kissed still holds up or has become something you could no longer accomplish. Through the news ignoring a story of a teacher being into the student. Two characters also prowling for underage high school students, and the ever changing concept of being cool, its hard to say.... But one thing is for sure, the movie does reward everyones bad behavior.

We are joined by Harley Salbacka (Fake Nerd Girls Podcast) to discuss Beautiful Girls, a movie that has not aged very well past 1996 for showcasing attraction to a 13 year old girl, refusing to let characters grow, sticking us in rooms with men fetishizing woman and cheating with have zero consequences, and how you could improve the movie in 2021.

In 1986 Johnny Five stole audiences hearts in Short Circuit, and in 2021 we resurrect him to see if how his movies works under a modern lens. Sabra May (Performer, Voice Over Actress, Cyberpunk 2077) joins us to discuss the 80s movie and how it blatantly has brown face, pours in some sexism, and even belittles the good state of Oregon. We also discuss future proofing a movie and how this technology fairs against the technologies of today. Share the show, leave us a review!

A Christmas movie unlike any other! This week we are joined by Zeyne to discuss Jingle All the Way, a movie you could never make anymore, as it depicts, bombs, treatment of people, harassment, the punching of a reindeer, and the darker side of Christmas. This movie deals with consumerism more than any other movie, and we still think its pretty funny. Join us as we look back on this....classic?

Matt Acevedo (Mass Effect Adventum, The Hit Points Podcast, The Ultimate Fictional Character Podcast) to discuss The Santa Clause, a movie that almost plays more like a dark adult comedy than a fun family time for the holidays. We discuss some issues the movie brings up, how well it does representing divorce, and what elements of it a studio probably wouldn't let you get away with today.

Ron Swallow (The Greatest Pod, Reboot It, Comedian!) joins the gang as we start the Holiday season by looking back classic holiday movies and see what they were trying to teach us. We start off with Rudolph, a story about how being different is perfectly fine, as long as what you are doing is useful. We discuss why this movie and story has been around for decades, how to age it up a bit, and some of the baffling behaviors of these North Pole characters.

E-Man from E-Man's Movie Reviews joins us to look back at Tropic Thunder, a comedy that took some pretty big risks back in 2008. We examine the choices actors make, and how this movie takes a satirical approach to it, but the dangers in rewarding that behavior. How the movie takes huge strides to showcase one group of people and then is detrimental to others, and the fact that while the movie is still funny, it like many other comedies, needs another edit or two.

Jamie Jirak (comicbook.com) joins us to discuss American Beauty, a movie with layered themes about conformity, sexuality, and the suburbs. We discuss our first experience with the movie and what things hit us a little harder in our adult lives, and a conversation about separating art from the artist.

Our three hosts, Blake, Anastasia, and Terrence circle up before Halloween to discuss their favorite three horror movies, how they affected them as kids, what they think now and what made these classics stand the test of time.

This week we discuss The Faculty with Matt Konopka. A movie that was praised for how it handled cliques, and high school in general now showcases how conforming is more important that having an identity, some subtle bullying that never has any comeuppance, and complete and total lack of diversity.

This week we tackle the 1999 cult class Fight Club. Ed Greet (Reboot It!) joins us to discuss the movies themes of toxic masculinity, learning the wrong lessons from characters we are supposed to hate, telling a story where having a woman will fix everything, and how its actually okay to just work at a desk and have insurance despite what Hollywood and this movie in particular would make you think.

Jay Washington joins Blake, Anastasia and Terrence this week to go over a classic John Hughes movie, Weird Science, where two kids are able to create the perfect woman out of sheer pluck and moxie. We discuss the movies themes, if you could pull off this movie on concept alone today, the jive accent, and the ideas behind creating a person.

This week we are joined by Laura Sirikul (writer) to discuss The Karate Kid, a classic that exploded marital arts culture in America, and has some of the most memorable songs and quotes. But, is this the best representation of Asians or Asian culture? Could some of the portrayals in the movie have been detrimental to some? Is the martial arts EVENT ACCURATE? We discuss this and more.

One of Blake's favorite movies is Back to the Future, from the friendship with Doc and Marty, to the ideas of being able to change your fate, that nothing is permanent and you can always get back on the right track. So its about time that we dig into it with Jenna Busch (Histerical podcast, Cocktails with Stan, the chapter author of Psych Geeks books). Jenna looks back at the movie on its 35th anniversary, now looking at the 80s the same way the movie looked at the 50s, and talks with us the issues with voyeurism, using assault as a heroic plan to bring a mother and father together, the perverted parents of Marty McFly, and overall tendencies of using women as something to be earned.
