Just Play It

Surfs up! It's CLOBBERIN' time as Nick and James got some serious double duty this episode. We take a look at Tim Story's two Fantastic Four movies from the 2000s to highlight their triumphs and study their missteps. We also reveal the results from the blind Oscar's predictions and check in with our multiversal-selves. Another pair of textbook "NCU" movies to add to the collection for JPI. This is gonna be FANTASTIC.......say that again.

Oscars Week is here! As we prepare for the 97th Academy Awards this weekend, we do our annual tradition of a Best Picture review. Our Wheel-o-Best-Pictures landed on the 78th Academy Awards, which means we watched, reviewed, and totally broke down Crash. We were not ready for this kind of content. Get ready for a crash-course on a car-crash of a movie trying(?) to tackle a topic for some not-so-good reasons. Time to smack into an airbag as Nick and James are here to question the Academy's choices and draggg Paul Haggis. All that and our blind Oscar picks for who we think is taking home what prestigious award without ever watching any of this year's nominated movies. We're also wearing suits to this party.

You'll never guess that there's a huge problem in the small Chinese area of San Francisco. Good thing ole Jack Burton is here to do absolutely nothing, and ask 'what the hell?'. James, Nick, Wang, and Egg Shen are here to actually do something about it. A fresh look, a deep dive, and a full review that's all in the reflexes is here!

We've primed ourselves for this moment. Corndogs have been dipped, the kernels have been popped, the game has been preee'd. The epic stage is set for Just Play It to announce the winners for the 2nd annual Poppys & Cornys, to crown the biggest piece of crap fictional character via a divisional bracket, and to decide who is coming out on top of the first ever cinematic crossover of characters combat tournament - the CINEDOME. We cap off the night with the wheel of franchises to unlock our fate for what is the northern star franchise to follow in the year 2025. Let's go.

Merry Christmas you filthy corndogs. You get one more present to unWRAP. Our end of the year, end of the season bash is here and lucky all of us, we get it in two parts. We welcome you to pregame with us where we do the ultimate quiz gauntlet with high prize stakes, the logline AI image generator is back, we jump into the Bargain Bin to finalize a few questionable movies review scores, and we do not one, but TWO tier lists. Get ready for the ultimate party as we rank the best weapon and the best fighter from all the movies we watched in the year 2024. A good old fashioned pregame is the only way to get ready for what comes next...

Jack is BACK for Just Play It. Upon Nick's confusion from last year of which late 90s Jack Frost movie we were watching, it's official - the chiller killer's time has come. We discuss Michael Cooney's wacky, campy Christmas killer snowman movie after a first watch. It flopped with critics, went straight to video, and is giving us the holiday fear almost 30 years later. The only question is, you like your carrots shaved or raw?

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Nick and James reach their destiny this week. It's the end of the franchise of the year as it is also the end for Indy, or is it? No it probably is. We dive into Dial on a first watch, discuss its place in the franchise and determine if this movie is really as bad as they say. Hop in an old airplane with us and take a plunge back in time as we take a look back at the entire franchise we enjoyed this past year.

James & Nick drive Uncle Ben's Oldsmobile Delta 88 into the creepy woods to find themselves at the end of the road for spooky szn. What lies ahead is evil, it is dead, and it is downright hilariously messed up. Slap a chainsaw to your arm & call me George of the Jungle, because we gotta watch out for that tree!
