Just Play It

If we had one wish, it would be that October had 4 more weeks in the month, but our time has run out. It's Halloween and Just Play It saved the best for last. On the finale of spooky szn, Nick and James stumble across a One Wish Willow in a sassy crystal shop and total mess up their wish which gives them a rollercoaster of red flags they should've clocked. But they ignored those warnings because they loved this movie so, so, so, so, so, much. We watched the 2025 film which had a complete breakout in 2026 - OBSESSION. Cap'n Trick-or-Treat & the Candy Corndog discuss the movie's origins, its instant classic status, and its textbook filmmaking which makes it a modern day masterpiece.

If you thought spooky season couldn't get any better with Jennifer's Body and Alien: Resurrection, the Just Play It Podcast is here to show you that we're ready to TOP THAT. Teen Witch enters Poptober not on a broom, but instead with a choppy slow motion rooftop dirty dancing number. We don't know what is scarier: Louise Miller's lack of respect & measure for the incredible power she wields or the fact that we didn't even know this was a musical.

Our franchise of the year comes to a close as it is on a crash course with spooky season. Dr. Corndog and Cap'n pop resurrect the Sigourney Weaver saga in the xenomorph infested franchise. We go from RIP to Ripley being absolutely back, and a little bit crazy (we like that). We rank the four Sigourney (Si-FOUR-ney) movies up against each other, discuss how we oddly enjoyed this film and declare its underrated status. Pack your thermos with mother's recipe because this is going to be a weird, sexy, action packed ride.

Poptober is back and as always, we kick off this treat-or-treat filled month by brining the HEAT with a hot movie and a pipin' hot review fueld by Hot Ones Hot Sauce, sparked by the motivational words of some Twentieth Century Fox Marketing Guy back in the 2000s as he once famously said - "Megan Fox Hot". Jennifer's Body is our first movie of spooky season '26 and the boys learned a few things on this journey, if you see woodland creatures gathering, you start hearing Akon or if an electrical fire starts in the town's dive bar - RUN. We review this cult classic under the pressure of The Last Dab as it send our spicy senses THROUGH THE TREEEEEEEESSSSS

Things get a little nutty this year as we make the annual visit to the Disney Channel. Our DCOM wheel-o-movies landed on the The Proud Family Movie. It was the send off to the popular TV series that ran from 2001 to 2005 and it features the Proud family getting scammed into a trap vacation by the peanut obsessed Dr. Carver who is the descendant of the real life famous agricultural scientist and inventor - George Washington Carver voiced by Arsenio Hall. Yes, you read all of that correctly. It truly is NUTS. Grab some pork-nuts and your passport, because we're off to Legume Island.

Crime rates are down and Marvel is back UP with Spider-man swinging through town. New York City's favorite web-head is here to give us everything we want in a Spider-man film. From Destin Daniel Cretton comes the box office (HULK) smash hit, Spider-man: Brand New Day. We find Spidey living with the results of his ultimate sacrifice from No Way Home. Peter Parker deals with a Punishing, and to be quite Frank, Castle-sized consequence from his multiversal mishap. But don't worry, because James & Nick are here to give Peter a brand new review and a friendly neighborhood dap up. Please remove your grey jeans when entering the sauna, because this film is already off to a HOT start.

It's that time again to wake up from your cryo-sleep and... OH MY GOD! What the heck happened here? Where are my fellow Aliens cast-mates? What is going on?!?! Holy mother of a queen xenomorph, this is bad. Welp, time to buzz the hair and get back into some dark hallways, because here we go again....AGAIN. The Just Play It pod crashes onto Fiorina 161 to figure out just what is going on with the state of the Alien franchise after it fell to then new director, now goat - David Fincher. Surely, this will finally be the end of the xenomorph problem, right?

What would you do... if you had the power of a young Denise Richards & Paul Walker, mixed in with some raunchy humor, B-movie horror gore, a robotic dinosaur on loan and a lion? Well with a short production window, you too could harness the magic of the 1990s B-movie wonder known as Tammy and the T-Rex, or Tanny and the Teenage T-Rex. It's an absolute master class in cinematic unpredictability and WTF-ness. From the director of Mac and Me, comes a family friendly teen romance about a girl named Tammy, or Tanny..., who has a possessive NOT-boyfriend named Billy, who is in love with a better boy named Michael, who turns out, gets his brain transplanted into an animatronic Tyrannosaurus Rex. Who would have thought! You will never know what the next scene holds in this truly unhinged film.

X-Men fans unite! Just Play It reunites with the original mutants to hit the midpoint of our trilogy of the year. We unpack this '03 gem discussing how it improved upon its original predecessor, how it handles multiple plot lines, and why Bryan Singer is STILL a problem. Hope you can see where you're going because JPI is BAMF'n right toward ya with a rewatch and official review of X2: X-Men United.

Star Wars week comes a bit later this year courtesy of the first theatrical Star Wars movie to be released in 7 years. The Mandalorian and Grogu meet The Corn Dog and Cap'n Pop. Just Play It has a bounty on the Jon Favreau & Dave Filoni family fun adventure film so Nick and James bump the sickest Shakari synth track in the Razor Crest on the way to the theaters. We discuss the discourse amongst the fans, what is great about this movie, and what we think they could've done differently. Make room for a yolked out Hutt, a surprise guest, and a pit crew of Anzellans, because this is way.
