The Post Credit Podcast

On today's episode of The PCP your hosts break down the untouchable 1984 movie, Back To The Future.

Another perfect movie, this forever classic flick is the result of a rare combination of story/script/actors and style that effortlessly weave excitement and tension with comedy and romance. Rounded out and topped off by an impeccable soundtrack and theme that Silvestri has perhaps equaled since but never topped.

Join us as we discuss MJF and his dual work on this and Family Ties after replacing an actor well into shooting, Crispin's genius, Marty rewriting history and the racial implications involved, our top 5 favorite time-travel movies, and much more!

If you haven't seen it, you might not be ready for it..but your parents are gonna love it!!

On today's episode of The PCP we discuss another film from the cinema gold year of 1999, the horror comedy Idle Hands.

Listen in as we discuss the elements that made this movie work and those that didn't, how much scrutiny is needed to discover an inhaler is paraphernalia, Devon's hand acting skills, Thing Addams' origin, how the story devolved, and Rock Star cameos, all before we dive into a long rumination on the Halloween franchise, including new entry 'Ends', and if Michael Myers is any scarier than his horror brethren

We're BACK! "Back in the New York Groove…"

Last month was the 35th anniversary of the legendary 80s dance and music movie, Dirty Dancing. In the studio, Matt and Drew speak with a guest, Jackie, from Australia in another Your Favorite Movie episode where we invite movie-lovers on to talk about, you guessed it, Your Favorite Movie.

Join us today as we talk about the infamous chemistry between Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey as they blur the line between love and hate with their mutual dislike behind the scenes, discuss our favorite songs and scenes of the movie, debate the coupling of Johnny/Baby/Penny/Billy, and finally ask our guest if Henry Cavill could take Patrick's spot on the top of her list..

Let's carry a watermelon as we dive in!

Join us today in this Memoriam to the late-great Cedric Diggory (1977-1995), the hero and true champion of the last Triwizard Tournament. Listen in as we discuss the detour in Dumbledore's plan to destroy Voldemort with the occurence of The Triwizard Championship & how Harry Potter gets drawn into the contest surrounded by escaped and dangerous death eaters, a friend who has turned his back on him, nightmares, dragons, and hormones. It all culminates in the death of an innocent student and the return of Voldemort in all his power and glory. We also discuss our favorite character in all of Cinema, the director's lack of passion for Potter, and the most important flub Voldemort ever made. Eternal glory awaits the victor.. But so might death.

On Today's episode of The PCP, Drew brings 1993's The Sandlot to the show so we can talk about Benny, Ham, Squints, and Smalls and their summer of legendary pickling with Hercules and the rest of the 'lot'. Listen in as we discuss filming in Utah, Wendy Peffercorn and her mixed signals, what pickling actually is, James Earl Jones, Squints being the worst lookout of all-time, and much more! So just stand (sit?) there, put your ear to the speaker, and we'll take care of it. Thanks for listening, Pee-drinking crap-face!

On today's episode of The PCP we revisit a movie ahead of its time, Last Action Hero. This week we make the case that this movie, perhaps, would be better recieved today as a spoof of the plethora of movies in the 80s and 90s whose plot bore similar to this: A badass action hero in jeans and snakeskin boots, impervious to death, filled with one-liners, who always wins no matter what. Join us as we try to explain what makes Arnold's particular brand of comedy work, how foreshadowing plays out in this movie world, and why some old-school tropes need to return as we examine a fictional man, made aware of his imagined existence and how he struggles with pain and death for the very first time. This movie has heart, fantasy, action, Sonya Blade, the T-1000, a cartoon cat, and a mobster named Leo The Fart.. Guess what he does?... I miss the 90s.. Roll it!

Replace your Reese's Pieces with full-on chocolate because it helps, it really helps, to discuss Dementors, Werewolves, Animagi, and time travel in The Prisoner Of Azkaban. Drew has escaped the studio and is wanted and considered extremely busy. To help, Matt's daughter Kailee flew into town to get on the mic and discuss a quick repreive in Dumbledore's plan as Harry learns the one who betrayed his parents to their death has escaped from Azkaban and is after Harry himself. In this episode we discuss The Marauders and their map, what an Animagus is, and why you'll never say ridiculous the same way again. Something wicked this way comes.

Open wide and say Jaws!! Today Matt and Drew talk about the very first blockbuster that started them all, helmed expertly by consistant auteur Steven Spielberg. This 1975 movie, adapted from the same-name novel by Peter Benchley, does away with all the extra plots of the book (steamy and dangerous as they may be) and focuses on what people came to the theater for: A man eating shark eating men. And women. And children. And not in that order. Join us as we discuss this simplistic plot that, almost 50 years later, still astonishes, still captivates, still frightens, and still has you thinking twice about dipping your toe in the deep. Smile Bruce, here comes your close-up!!

The Chamber of Secrets has been opened!! dum Dum DUUUMMM!!! Listen in today as we discuss the follow-up in both director and spirit to the first Potter movie with The Chamber of Secrets. Today we talk about the infamous Gilderoy Lockheart, the mysterious Tom Riddle, and Ron's hilariously broken wand. We also discuss 'entaglements' among the adult cast of the franchise, the irritating presence of the kind-hearted Dobby and, most importantly, Dumbledore's increasingly alarming knack for putting children in danger! Enemies of the Heir, beware!

The magic begins!

Join us today as we discuss the pop culture phenomenon that is still going on to this day, starting with this episode, Harry Potter and The Sorcerer's Stone. Apologies to those outside the US accustomed to the title with Philosopher instead of Sorcerer, we were introduced to this world through this movie, titled thusly, and have been fans of the extremely engrossing and intricate tale of The Boy Who Lived ever since. Listen in as we rank our favorite HP movies, discuss the perfection in casting, world-building, direction, and music and we introduce the beginnings of Dumbledore's master plan. Stay tuned, there is so much more to come as we unfold this mesmerizing tale over the next few months and deep dive into the lore to discover who will come out on top, Harry or Voldemort.
