Do I Still Love It?

Writer/Director Yulin Kuang wants to know if Practical Magic still holds up. She's a fan of the romantic cinema but can't really remember if this Sandra Bullock/Nicole Kidman flick was technically a rom-com, but it definitely has something to with witches and love spells and curses, so that's pretty Halloween-y, right?

Michael Chau is back, but is he a replicant?! The gang revisits the original Blade Runner, just in time to go see the new sequel. Does the "greatest sci-fi of all time" hold up?

We're back for season 2! Becca Cousineau joins us to review the immigrant story "An American Tail" (1986)! This story of Jewish mice coming to the United States manages to pack a lot of allegory into it's messaging, causing Becca to wonder if this movie needs an immediate rerelease to theaters.

Fan favorite Ariana Kaiser returns to the show bringing with her a much-loved favorite from her youth: Top Gun parody Hot Shots! We last heard from Ariana during the episode on Willow wherein she couldn't remember which of these two movies she spent an entire summer at the theaters watching. Possibly both? This hugely-successful comedy from a golden era of parody harkens to a style of comedy we don't see a lot of in modern showbiz and it begs the question: has parody's time passed? Will the timing tighten up or will the movie suffer the not-so-ludicrous speed of "Spaceballs"? Should one feel strange for being extremely attracted to Charlie Sheen? Where is the prop-hot-plate-shaped-like-Valeria-Golina's-stomach today? I can't promise you we answer all these questions but dammit, we try on this week's podcast!

Mary Hamilton and her pup Pompom are a couple of pretty women trying to figure out if they still love Pretty Woman (1990). They join Marshall and Laura to revisit the film that made prostitution seem romantic to determine why they were allowed to watch this as children, and a lot of other things come up: are we supposed to like Richard Gere's character? Is this a romantic comedy for the ultra rich? What are the odds on their relationship lasting more than two more months? All this and more on the latest episode of Do I Still Love It?!

Darcy Kendall, musician and songwriter, waxes poetic about the first musical she ever saw, Disney's 1992 flop-turned-cult-hit-turned-Broadway-musical "Newsies!"

Writer Paul Bianchi loved The Chipmunk Adventure when he was a kid, but will he still love it now that he's grown up? He drops by Marshall and Laura's place and this rock-n-roll movie raises lots of questions about the simple visions of foreign countries that were fed to us 80's and 90's kids.

Comedian Raul Garcia joins Marshall and special guest host Sean George to see if they have the POWER!! While Laura's away it's guys night at "Do I Still Love It?" and they've got a movie so manly that the main character is named HE-MAN. Will these grown men reconnect with their toy-loving former selves? Or will the off-putting nature of Frank Langella's Skeletor make-up be too much for our heroes? Find out on this week's podcast!

Writer/Comedian/Hockey fanatic Paul Dupree can't wait to revisit "The Mighty Ducks" with Marshall and Laura. This classic underdog story goes under the microscope so the gang can examine the importance of representation, the insanity of Coach Bombay's privilege, and the viability of the flying V as an offensive tactic on this week's "Do I Still Love It?"
