  • The Nightmare Before Christmas Review: Halloween or Christmas Movie? | Certified Gervais

    Is The Nightmare Before Christmas a Halloween movie, a Christmas movie, or both? In this episode of Certified Gervais, we rewatch Tim Burton's stop-motion classic and settle the debate for good.

    We look at how the film blends two holidays into one world, and why it feels timeless enough that people come back to it year after year. We also get into Jack Skellington's loneliness and identity crisis, and ask whether his excitement makes him lovable or just reckless. From there we cover the film's message about staying true to yourself, whether it still holds up or it's mostly nostalgia, the standout characters, and the love story between Jack and Sally. Plus: which character would be the worst to meet in real life?

    Stick around for our final verdict, a preview of the next episode and where to follow the show.

  • Our Favorite Animated Movies of All Time
    On this episode of Certified Gervais, we run through the animated films that shaped us — the classics we grew up on, the modern picks that still hit, and the ones we'll defend to anyone who'll listen. Expect strong opinions, a few surprises, and probably an argument or two about what really belongs in the top tier.

  • Could These Classic Comedies Even Get Made Today?
    We rewatch the movies that shaped us — American Pie, Ace Ventura, Blazing Saddles, Animal House, The Breakfast Club, Scarface, Jaws — and ask which ones would still land with today's audiences, which need updating, and which simply couldn't be made now. Along the way: what satire like Blazing Saddles actually does, why audiences idolize flawed antiheroes, the trouble with politicized remakes, and a broader look at censorship, moralizing entertainment, and what modern movies may have lost. We close with some reflections on doing the show for the right reasons.

  • Certified or Denied: The Songs We Love to Defend

    On this episode of Certified or Denied, we swap the songs we can't stop playing — even when we probably should. We trade favorite artists (Chuck Berry, Toby Keith, the Beach Boys), confess our guiltiest pleasures, and cue up the tracks that hit us right in the feels. Then it's windows-down road-trip anthems, work-frustration bangers, and throwback songs that instantly return us to childhood. We close with a rapid-fire round on Black artists we love, songs discovered through movies, embarrassing favorites, and the tracks that remind us of the people who matter most.

  • Why Rocky Horror Still Matters — and Why Tim Curry Makes It
    We revisit The Rocky Horror Picture Show and ask why it still lands after all these years. From the first time it shocked us, through the plot — Brad and Janet's fateful detour to Frank-N-Furter's castle — to Tim Curry's magnetic, career-defining performance, we unpack what makes the film work. We also get into the ending and its core message, why most remakes fail, and whether Rocky Horror is one worth revisiting today. Consider this both a recommendation and a love letter to Tim Curry's defining role.

  • Action Movies Special: Buddy Cops, Brandon Lee & Martial Arts Legends
    A deep-dive celebration of action cinema. We break down buddy-cop favorites (Lethal Weapon, 48 Hrs. and their sequels), sci-fi vigilantes RoboCop and The Punisher, and pay tribute to Brandon Lee via The Crow, Rapid Fire, and Showdown in Little Tokyo. Then it's a martial arts roll call — Bruce Lee, Chuck Norris, Van Damme, Jackie Chan, and Seagal — before we close with late-round takes on Rocky and Stallone team-ups.
