  • Fatal Attraction (1987)
    Oct 2 2024

    Spooky, scary, scandalous! Welcome to spooky season '24 and round these parts, we absolutely love it. We ease into the murderous month with a classic. Come along with Nick & James to "just have some dinner because we're all adults here" and unpack the Oscar nominated 1980s thriller - Fatal Attraction.

    In this episode we discuss the difficulty in getting this movie made, the weird reason producers never wanted Glenn Close, and what we think on a first (and second) watch. All of that, the weekly movie quiz, and MORE. We will not be IGNORED, listen to this episode, or else.

  • Minutemen (2008)
    Sep 18 2024

    Wait a minute man, is this is rom-com? Heck no, it's a time traveling DCOM and it's MINUTEMEN. Our annual stop on the Disney channel lands on a 2008 joint with Emmy nominated Nicholaus Braun of Succession, Jason Dolley from Simi Valley, and Ariel Winter's boyfriend. Don't forget Fake Dean from Community. James & Nick leap off a diving board into a CGI vortex to see if Disney Channel Original Movies post-childhood have still got it.

  • Return to Oz (1985)
    Aug 21 2024

    Welcome back(?) to the marvelous land of Oz! We peer behind the curtain on Walter Murch's faithfully book-adapted and terrifyingly good/bad forbidden sequel to Victor Fleming's 'The Wizard of Oz'. All the info, back story, movie trivia, and more along this broken yellow brick road in Just Play It's review of 'Return to Oz'.

    And if you had any doubt if this was a sequel to the MGM classic, well then just take a look down at your ruby slippers, Dorothy, because that's the key, THE KEY.

  • Elektra (2005)
    Jul 24 2024

    Cap'n Pop & The Corndog jump through a sling ring portal into Marvel's cinematic past with Elektra. The latest entry in our NCU (non-cinematic universe) series where we check out the pre-golden era of comic book movies. This 2005 joint was a critical flop which means this is a job for the Flopbusters. Will Just Play It bust the flop myth or will Elektra's story stab us in the face. Tune in to find out.

  • Bullet (1996)
    Jul 17 2024

    Bang Bang! A guy named Butch needs the D.A.R.E. program so Nick and James try to see if they can get him some help only to learn that getting in a pink caddy blasting Right Said Fred was a bad idea. They would have been better off in Tupac's limo with the charcuterie spread.
