Advertise on podcast: Just Like The Movies: A Nostalgic Movie Podcast

Our second oldest movie to date, The Sting features Hollywood legends Paul Newman, Robert Redford, and Robert Shaw. The movie won seven Oscars, had a Marvel-esque box office, and paved the way for future charming capers like the 2001 remake of Oceans 11. We get into why older movies aren't talked about as much, digging into whether its a generational thing. Do people only talk about movies that existing in their lifetime? Great chat, good times, thank you for listening to our nostalgic movie podcast. And as always, be kind, rewind, relax, and enjoy the show!

Does the Tarantino written, Rodriguez directed genre-bending flick hold up 30 years later? Salma Hayek does, anyway! We had a fun time revisiting From Dusk Till Dawn, which might include Tarantino's most egregious exploration of his foot fetish. Weird dude. Thank you for listening to our highly-acclaimed nostalgic movie podcast. Be kind, rewind, relax, and enjoy the show.

Snooch to the MF nooch. Kevin Smith took his biggest shot at a big movie and chose as controversial a topic as possible for it. We revisit 1999's Dogma and everything that came with it. Did you know Jason Mewes is the best America can be? Alan Rickman certainly thought so. Thanks for listening to our nostalgic movie podcast as we revisit a simpler time about the movies we enjoy. And as always, be kind, rewind, relax, and enjoy the show.

Led by an outstanding performance of Magneto (Erik Lehnsherr) by Michael Fassbender, it is hard to believe this worthy X-Men prequel is already 15 years old. And without this movie we would never have gotten arguably the best X-Men movie, Days of Future Past. Thank you for listening to our nostalgic movie podcast and as always be kind, rewind, relax, and enjoy the show!

You go, we go! Let's take a trip back to 1991 and revisit Ron Howard's BACKDRAFT. Arguably the greatest firefighter movie ever made backed heavily by ILM's visual effects holding up strong 35 years later. Johnny does plenty of his Kurt Russell gushing and Mike provides real fireman insight via his Uncle. We also focus on the themes of the movie including the relationship between brothers Steven and Brian. With a loaded cast, there is a lot to get into. So be kind, rewind, relax, and enjoy the podcast!

John Travolta had a major comeback with Pulp Fiction which led to a Golden Globe win in this 1995 comedy. Get Shorty is a send-up to Hollywood that is an easily digestible and fun movie. We had a good time digging into this one with out typical antics and tangents along the way. Thanks for listening to our movie podcast and as always be kind, rewind, relax, and enjoy the show!

Yippee Ki‐Yay! If you love Die Hard, we have the podcast for you! Good sequels are rare, good second sequels are mostly unheard of, but Die Hard with a Vengeance is one of them. We talk all about the last great Die Hard movie, what makes it hold up to the original Die Hard, and what allows it to stand on its own while tying back nicely to the original. Thank you for listening to what is being called the greatest nostalgic movie podcast running. And as always, be kind, rewind, relax, and enjoy the show!

In between Van Wilder and Deadpool, Ryan Reynolds did things, and one of those things was Waiting. We talk about the restaurant comedy that holds up in some areas, but not so much in others, including the 2000s Ryan Reynolds Jim Carrey adjacent schtick. There are redeeming comedy elements though, and we also discuss whether either of us were brave enough to work the restaurant life. A good chat overall, from two guys who will NEVER send back food. Thanks for listening and as always be kind, rewind, relax, and enjoy the podcast!

Jim Carrey's first dramatic role since Ace Ventura 2 takes us into a discussion exploring the more relevant than ever themes of The Truman Show. Existentialism, surveillance-state, and psychological trauma coated in a perfectly set cookie-cutter 1950s Americana. Mike is not a big fan of the movie and its one of Johnny's top-10 of all time, which made for a really interesting episode. Thanks for listening, tell your friends and paramore, and as always, be kind, rewind, relax, and enjoy the best nostalgic movie podcast in the world! Maybe...

A podcast about movies, REAL ORIGINAL! Let's talk Forgetting Sarah Marshall. We all know what its like to be dumped by a hot movie star, then going to Hawaii and picking up the 10/10 hotel concierge in one week. We had a good time talking about this fun movie, why it works, and why it holds up 18 years later. Thanks for listening to the show and as always be kind, rewind, relax, and we'll see you next time!

The Nice Guys has grown in popularity as a cult favorite since its disappointing release 10 years ago! We have a good time talking about the chemistry between Ryan Gosling and Russell Crowe, and why the comedy of this Shane Black movie works. Sometimes its all about high-pitched man screams and breaking buddy-cop movie stereotypes. Thanks for listening to our podcast, please tell a friend and as always be kind, rewind, relax, and enjoy the show!

The movie that put Russell Crowe on the map and ultimately landed him the role of Maximus in Gladiator, L.A. Confidential is a throwback detective-noir drama that holds up 30 years later. Did Dudley kill Exley's Father? Probably not, but maybe? We go on a ton of tangents on this one, that somehow directly or indirectly relate. Thanks for listening to what many are calling the greatest nostaglic movie podcast of all time. Be kind, rewind, relax, and enjoy the show!

Kevin Smith's lovable supporting characters Jay and Silent Bob take the lead on this 2001 roadtrip/stoner comedy. Mike thinks Mewes overdid the schtick, but Johnny loved it. Overall still a fun movie that does a good job of taking us back to a simpler time. Thanks for listening to the show and as always, be kind, rewind, relax, and enjoy the podcast! And if you leave us a bad review or negative comment, expect a knock at the door! Snoogans!

The beginning of Vince Vaughn's comedy-lead run, Dodgeball is a cameo-loaded simple and silly sports comedy that has aged pretty well. We had a fun time talking about this 2004 classic and even reflected on our own Dodgeball playing memories of years past. And not for nothing, but it has to be asked. Did Mike kill Chuck Norris? Thanks for listening to the podcast. Please consider leaving us a rating/review and tell a friend. And as always, be kind, rewind, relax, and enjoy the program.

Steven Spielberg delivers one of, if not the greatest, war movie of all time. A movie that probably should have won Best Picture at the Oscars, we talk all about its legacy, its importance, and what makes it stand out as one of the best of its genre. From Omaha Beach to the battle of Ramelle, we share a lot of relatively unknown stories and facts about the movie, as well as what makes it work most, the characters.
