Just Like The Movies: A Nostalgic Movie Podcast

The movie that put Russell Crowe on the map and ultimately landed him the role of Maximus in Gladiator, L.A. Confidential is a throwback detective-noir drama that holds up 30 years later.

Did Dudley kill Exley's Father? Probably not, but maybe? We go on a ton of tangents on this one, that somehow directly or indirectly relate.

Kevin Smith's lovable supporting characters Jay and Silent Bob take the lead on this 2001 roadtrip/stoner comedy. Mike thinks Mewes overdid the schtick, but Johnny loved it. Overall still a fun movie that does a good job of taking us back to a simpler time.

The beginning of Vince Vaughn's comedy-lead run, Dodgeball is a cameo-loaded simple and silly sports comedy that has aged pretty well. We had a fun time talking about this 2004 classic and even reflected on our own Dodgeball playing memories of years past.

And not for nothing, but it has to be asked. Did Mike kill Chuck Norris?

Steven Spielberg delivers one of, if not the greatest, war movie of all time. A movie that probably should have won Best Picture at the Oscars, we talk all about its legacy, its importance, and what makes it stand out as one of the best of its genre. From Omaha Beach to the battle of Ramelle, we share a lot of relatively unknown stories and facts about the movie, as well as what makes it work most, the characters. If you do anything after listening to this podcast, whatever it is, earn this.

Spike Lee's bank robbery crime drama is packed with talent: Denzel, Clive Owen, Jodi Foster, Christopher Plummer, among others, but we get into what made this movie work, with heavy leaning on its clever twist ending. Movies with big third act twists often live or die by them, and Inside Man lives.

We had a good time talking about this movie that is, shockingly, 20 years old this year. And our random unrelated mention on this episode goes out to Traci Bingham.

Drop your "R"s kids, it's time to head back to Boston and remind ourselves of that overplayed Dropkick Murphy's song as we revisit Martin Scorsese's, The Departed. Our opinions differ a bunch on this Oscar winner but we both left it feeling like it was one of our best discussions, so we hope you agree.

This 1991 Action/Comedy gave us this non-Die Hard Die Hard movie, with Bruce Willis playing close to John McClane alongside Damon Wayans, with plenty of familiar face cameos and of course, a brief but wonderful time with Halle Berry.

We get into the production drama, whether this was intended to be the next buddy cop franchise, and where it stands in the pantheon of Bruce Willis and action comedies all together.

An overlooked Tom Hanks comedy that represents the end of his pre-Oscar 1980s comedy run. This is one of Johnny's favorite Hanks comedies, though Mike doesn't feel the same. We still had a great chat about how 80's this movie is, including wondering if it would have been considered more of an iconic 80's comedy had it cast Gary Busey and Rick Moranis alongside Hanks?

Either way, ya got Carrie Fisher, Bruce Dern, Corey Feldman, and the legendary BROTHER THEODORE holding it down. Plus you get an exclusive announcement from Mike on the Sharon Stone-less CASINO cut, coming soon.

Thanks for listening to the program and as always be kind, rewind, relax, and enjoy the show!

Martin Scorsese gets the gang back together for another mafia classic CASINO, which we argue represents the back end of the primes for Robert Deniro, Joe Pesci, and Sharon Stone. A great movie that unfairly gets compared to his Mona Lisa, Goodfellas, but deserves its own place in movie history.

Eastwood...Clint, Eastwood? Our oldest movie to date, let's revisit the one that launched Clint Eastwood as a mainstay Western legend. Sergio Leone's inexpensive but very successful first Spaghetti Western. You better get three coffins ready.
