The Camp Nowhere (1993) Problem
2026/10/12
We’re back with a silly family movie from the 90s, Camp Nowhere! As usual we tangent, this time round we talk about the Carrie TV show on Prime. Very limited minor teeny tiny spoilers as Jimmy has seen 3 episodes and Jen only the one. Jimmy has a grumpy cold this episode but takes full advantage of his cough button while recording but then has technical issues. Jen spoils what the next episode is right at the start of this one. There is also some confusion regarding Jimmy’s use of a word, because things are different in the US than in the UK sometimes. It's all go on this week's episode! Contains strong language.
The Weird Science (1985) Problem
2026/10/05
It's the 80s and boy do we have a movie that just screams the decade? Yes, yes we do, it's Weird Science. Topics include racism (again), TV edits of movies (stick to the end of the episode for a treat) and Jimmy struggles to grasp just what the movie is trying to say. Warning to fans of this movie, we don't like it much. Oh and don't take a drink every time Jimmy says the word "weird" either within the title or not, you'll be dead. Contains strong language.
The Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961) Problem
2026/09/28
Hey, we're back! How you been? This week, one of our hosts gets a tad angry at the movie and the other forgets the rules of the podcast! Next week, we jump over 20 years for our next movie. Contains strong language.
The Aristocats (1970) Problem
2026/08/11
It's the 1970s, so it's racism time! Join Jimmy and Jen as they chat about a Disney classic. Or is it? As usual, there are slight tangents as Jimmy has a bit of a moan about current voice acting in movies. This episodes contains very strong language as it is hosted by someone who comes from a country who uses a certain word as a term of endearment and an American who enjoys the word. Sorry if it is offensive to you.
The Mannequin (1987) Problem
2026/08/02
We are STILL in 1987, what is going on? Tangents this episode include Ghost Rider, conventions, capitalism and Nic Cage's tomb... Are we staying in 1987 for our next episode? Listen and find out. Contains strong language.
The Fatal Beauty (1987) Problem
2026/06/29
Well, here we are, still in the year 1987, with Jimmy's pick, the comedy action movie Fatal Beauty directed by non-Spider-Man Tom Holland. In this episode, our hosts talk about tonal issues, Whoopi Goldberg's movie career and Jimmy says what he wants to be when he grows up. This episode contains a LOT of strong language including some that begins with the letter "c" if you are averse to that sort of thing. Next time, will we finally be out of 1987 or are we trapped there forrreeevvveerrrr? Find out at the end of this one to see what Jen's next pick is.
The Dirty Dancing (1987) Problem
2026/06/22
Jimmy and Jen stay in 1987 for some reason with Dirty Dancing, a genuinely good movie. They talk about age gaps, nose jobs and abortion. Fun! Contains strong language.

Welcome back to the Vintage Movie Book Club where Jimmy and Jen discuss a movie novelisation from when they were young...younger than they are now. This time, they are talking about The Cable Guy and while they have very little differences between movie and book, they discover something interesting... So, What's the Problem will return next week with Dirty Dancing. Contains strong language.

The Principal (1987) Problem

Hey, remember when Jim, sorry James, Belushi was a thing? He actually made enjoyable movies back in the day, like this action, comedy, thriller, thing. We discuss white saviour movies, old teenagers and have a possibly controversial conversation regarding the comedy genius of Jim's brother John. Contains strong language.
Trigger warning: conversation of attempted sexual assault in the movie with Jimmy's second problem.

#TheSingleParentsLifeCoach 2020/05/04
Awesome Concept
I love this idea. I enjoyed Jimmy’s perspective given. I’ve noticed there are a lot of shows I’ve never heard of, and now have plenty of time to brows...
The Metal Lincoln 2020/02/16
Fun Show!
Great premise for a podcast - a lot more failed pilots available out there than one might think.
