So, What‘s the Problem?

It's Jen's pick this week and she chose a favourite of hers that spoke to a generation of Americans. Jimmy, however is Scottish and just wonders what all the fuss is about. They both agree on one thing, however... one of the characters is the absolute worst. This leads to a discussion about our memories from watching movies as a kid and how, as we get older, our tastes change as do our perceptions of certain people or circumstances. Oh and we both love the cracking soundtrack. The audio on this one isn't great but because of this, there should be no ads during the episode. Just couldn't do that to you guys/gals. Contains strong language.

Jimmy and Jen delve into the sheer nothingness of the movie MacCauley Culkin made for Fox right after Home Alone 2 because he was still bankable. This was the last movie kid Culkin made for Fox. They talk about the casting, the cinematography and how the overall tone just does not fit. Jen wages war against the movie's choice of font and Jimmy gets annoyed at the dialogue. Contains strong language and adult themes in a movie primarily about kids.

Martin (and Drop the Pilot) returns to talk about a Battlestar reunion of sorts. Same creator and stars but this is about a world where science doesn't exist, so cops have to solve crimes using magic. Yup. This was Martin's pick and has he finally go what he wanted, that diamond in the rough???? Contains strong language.

I can hear you all now, "no, not my beloved Mrs Doubtfire?!?" Afraid so, but that's the point of this podcast, we can still enjoy problematic things, remember? The thing is, though, this particular movie has one MAJOR problem that Jimmy rants about. Strap in, folks, although, it may not be what you think... Contains strong language.

Hey, we're tackling another well made movie, what's going on? This is an unusual episode because we can't really find problems with the movie that we were satisfied with so we discuss other people's problems with it. Audio is not 100% perfect but it doesn't take away from the episode. Contains strong language and adult themes.

Jimmy and Jen talk about one of Jimmy's favourite childhood films... Oh dear. Does he still like it? Did Jen ever like it? Which character is the absolute worst? Listen to find out. Please.

Jen and Jimmy watch a Disney movie. From the 1980s, uh-oh. Jimmy watched the Disney+ version with the edits so we talk about that, the cast, the use of captions to tell us the era and our dislike for a particular character. Contains strong language.

Jen and Jimmy talk about one of the former's favourites, a teen movie that the latter has maybe seen twice, thrice, tops. They talk about the stacked cast, cultural appropriation and the movie's satirical use of it and just what does Jimmy have against lead character Preston, who Jen defends? Yeah, if you want to hear two grown ass adults disagree over a '90s teen comedy, this is the episode for you, gentle listener. Jimmy's sound isn't the best but it should be fixed for next time, sorry. Contains the swears.

Martin and Jimmy talk about Ice about a bunch of misfits stuck together in an Antarctic research centre. Like the characters, Jimmy and Martin just want to be elsewhere because this one is so dull. So, expect tangents and strong language but they do go over the plot as usual.

Jen wonders just what she agreed to as she joins Jimmy to talk about a childhood favourite of his. Yes, he watched this as a child. This is the first time Jen has seen this and therefore has no emotional attachment but Jimmy loved the series growing up and even bought the comic book. Yes, there was a comic book. Based on the animated series. Yes, there was an animated series. There was a live action one too. Is it racist, sexist and homophobic or is it a bit progressive for an early 80s comedy? This episode was recorded in May, before the death of George Floyd and the madness that happened after.
