Michael Jai White's action/comedy homage to his favorite blaxsploitation films of the 1970s. This movie has a lot of great comedic contributors, is full of laughs and nods to the fun and awesome action of those seventies classics. Also, arguably the greatest iteration of Richard M. Nixon in a movie.

If you were in high school in the late 90s, American Pie was right in your wheelhouse. A relatively low-budget raunchy R-rated teen comedy that took the summer of 99 by storm, and Mike and Johnny were at the right age for it. Join the boys as they look back on this classic, for good and for bad, including scenes you would never in a million years see in a movie made today.

Join us as we discuss the 2000 John Cusack movie High Fidelity, which might have been the launching off point for one Jack Black. We go off the rails a bit on this one but have a great time talking about a movie that challenges the conventions of romantic comedies in a good way. It is nice to have realistic characters to root for, for a change.

We're talking all about Quentin Tarantino's Once Upon a Time in Hollywood for our final episode of the year, and it is not only Tarantino's favorite film he's made, but Johnny has realized it has now become his favorite Tarantino movie too. From its absolutely loaded cast, to incredible production design, and a WILD ending that rewrites history, we had a good time cutting it up over this instant classic.

As SOUTH PARK took over the world, we also got BASEketball, a movie by Airplane and Naked Gun writer and director David Zucker. If you love Trey Parker and Matt Stone as much as we do, you'll enjoy this episode as we once again gush over their comedic stylings that took over this movie and made it funny. We also heard your Mom is going out with Squeak!

Are you listening closely? We're discussing the underrated Christopher Nolan masterpiece, The Prestige, starring Hugh Jackman and Christian Bale. This movie slots into Johnny's Top 10 favorite films, and for good reason. A great movie with excellent twists and turns, that remains very rewatchable even after knowing how it all ends.

Before Anthony Hopkins became Hannibal Lecter, Brian Cox brought the cannibalistic doctor to life in the 1986 adaptation of Red Dragon, Manhunter. Eventually it would be remade with Hopkins in 2002's Red Dragon, but we are here to talk about Michael Mann's first crack at it, years before Silence of the Lambs took movie audiences, critics, and award shows by storm.

John Carpenter's 1978 classic slasher film, HALLOWEEN. The most successful independent movie of its time was made with a rebellious and ragtag spirit, and cemented itself as one of the most influential scary movies of all time. And yes, Mike and Johnny spend a few minutes roasting Rob Zombie's terrible remakes.

A movie about porn with Burt Reynolds and Heather Graham having sex in roller skates, what else do you need? We're talking all about the 1997 Academy Award nominated Paul Thomas Anderson movie, which launched Mark Wahlberg's career to mainstream status.

You got Kurt Russell, muscle cars, beautiful girls, highlighted by the completely badass and charming Zoe Bell, and capped off by one of the best car chases in film history.

An episode all about the 1985 Arnold Schwarzenegger classic 80s action bonanza. We go way off the rails on this one and come to the unfounded conclusion that this movie required everyone involved with making it to be on a lot of cocaine. From absurd villains and cheesy one-liners, to random explosions and superhero-level shows of strength, this is a perfect 80s Schwarzenegger movie. Come hang as we revisit COMMANDO!

Top Gun: Maverick is already one of the greatest sequels of all time, but more than that, it is a great movie on its own. We talk all about this massive sequel to TOP GUN and why it became such a massive success and is beloved by audiences. It is near-impossible to make a good sequel 30-plus years after a classic original, but not only did Tom Cruise do it, it might be better than the first! Let's turn and burn as we revisit TOP GUN: Maverick, and have our fun along the way. Time to buzz the tower, one more time.

We aren't serious, but still don't call us Shirley. We're talking about the 1980 classic comedy 'Airplane!', including the fact that 95 percent of this movie's bits would cause an outrage online today. Back then people just laughed at them. This movie inspired many comedies after it, and gave Leslie Nielsen a whole new career in comedy.

TITANIC is one of the most successful and well-made movies of all time, and we revisit the James Cameron classic, including elements of the production of the film and lead-up to it that you might not know, or might not remember. As always, we have our usual fun along the way, but join us as we revisit this 1997 juggernaut that took Cameron's career to the next level, and Leo-mania into overdrive.

We're talking all about THE RAID. If you're looking for an action movie that blends the best of firearm and mixed-martial arts action sequences, this movie has you covered. We talk about the underrated 2012 action/thriller and its relentless non-stop action that cruises you through the intensity of conflict, with all its twists and turns along the way. Be sure to listen all the way to the end to hear Mike's audible (and it was visible too) disdain for Johnny's next pick, a first here on Just Like The Movies.

If you listen to this episode, you have chosen...wisely. Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade is one of Johnny's top 5 favorite movies of all time, and also stands as both Mike and Johnny's favorite Indy movie. We get into all aspects of this Harrison Ford classic, put together by the unstoppable team of George Lucas and Steven Spielberg, with the backing of another incredible score by John Williams. We of course do not cover it without our brand of humor, and there might be thoughts on what the Knight did to bide his time all those years guarding the grail. We hope this episode gets you even more excited for Harrison Ford's final turn in Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny later this month.

I am IRON MAN! Raise your cheeseburgers, its time to honor the movie that literally started it all for the now juggernaut Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), Jon Favreau's Iron Man. Robert Downey Jr. brings Tony Stark to life in what Johnny and Mike agree is one of the best Marvel movies ever made. We also have our fun, like thinking about what it would be like if Tom Cruise was cast as Iron Man instead.

We're talking Braveheart, Mel Gibson's Best Picture Oscar winning 1995 epic, considered by many to be on of the greatest movies ever made. We don't want to be dying in our beds many years from now not having taken our once chance, just one chance to come back here and tell our enemies that they may take our lives, but they'll never take our podcast!

Airheads is one of the most underrated comedies of the 90s and we are here to sing its praises. From its absolutely loaded cast of comedy legends to its unique language, this is a movie that didn't get its due at the time but has grown in favor as a cult classic, led by the now Best Actor Oscar winner Brendan Fraser. Come along with us to KPPX radio as we revisit this 1994 hard rock comedy classic, it will put a shine on your stinger.

Matt Damon's The Bourne Identity carved out a new franchise in the spy/action/thriller genre, and we delve into what sets this movie apart as well as what led to its success, which spawned four sequels (one without Matt Damon). You can forget a lot of things in life, including that you were a trained government super-assassin, but please do not forget to listen to your movie podcast heroes Mike and Johnny.

Before you see Scream 6, revisit the original with us! The fact that we needed to add the year to the title of this episode is annoying. Thanks, Scream 5! But anyway, we are talking about SCREAM the 1996 slasher that put the genre back on the map in a revitalized way, by poking fun at its cliches and trends. This movie is in Johnny's TOP 10 of all time because of the influence it had on his love for movies, though Mike's love for it has faded over time. But we have a blast digging back into this mid-90s classic that revived an entire genre of film.

This podcast episode is dedicated to the 1994 college comedy PCU. After Animal House and before Old School, there was PCU, a movie that developed a cult following in the years following its release, but one that misses the mark a bit. We discuss what we enjoy about the movie and also dive into some of the different choices the filmmakers could have made to vault this one into legacy status, including making it rated R. And yes, we both wore the shirt of the pod we're in, we are, in fact, that guy.

A 1989 movie with Patrick Swayze ripping out throats while using more hair product than every woman on set, what more can you possible want? We talk about this true to its time late-80s action flick in the only way we know how, fondly, with laughter and tangents along the way. Pain don't hurt, and hopefully neither does listening to us talk about ROAD HOUSE.

Head back to 1999 with us as we discuss one of the best cult films of our time, FIGHT CLUB! There was an idea (not serious) to just post 90 minutes of literal silence, but we decided against it, you decide whether we made a good choice. This movie doesn't fit into one genre, and the psychology and anti-consumerism themes hit a bit harder than we might have realized, as we have one of our deeper discussions in our pod's history. We hope you dig it, and don't worry, the jokes and tangents still find their way in the mix.

Ben Affleck's THE TOWN, in which he starred, directed, and co-wrote. A loaded cast which included an Oscar nomination for Jeremy Renner, in a movie that isn't held down by one genre, as it delivers action, suspense, thrills, heists, and drama. We'll see you again, this side or the other.

From the creators of South Park, shortly before the arrival of South Park, they made a movie called Orgazmo. This might go down as our most "cult" movie podcast. If you love South Park and the brand of humor that comes from those Trey Parker and Matt Stone, you just might like this 1997 low-budget comedy, which is ripe with the early foundations of their style of humor.

Batman Returns is a solid sequel to 1989's Batman, reuniting Michael Keaton and Tim Burton, and introducing Danny Devito's Penguin and a scene stealing, horny-inducing knockout performance of Catwoman by the incomparable Michelle Pfeiffer. We agree that Batman Returns hasn't particularly aged well and we go over why, but it is without question the horniest Batman movie in existence, and Michelle Pfeiffer is why we keep coming back. Plus, it's a legitimate Christmas movie! Tis the season.

The Dark Knight is not just one of the greatest Batman movies, but one of the greatest sequels ever made, which includes the Oscar-winning performance by the late Heath Ledger as the Joker. We talk all about this beast of a Batman movie, our personal experiences and memories of it, and its impact and influence on future superhero movies, and of course our typical brand of humor and tangents along the way. Also, RIP to the animated voice of Batman, Kevin Conroy.

We're back and talking about one of the greatest sequels ever made, James Cameron's Terminator 2: Judgment Day aka T2. Not only do we discuss this Arnold Schwarzenegger classic, from its production to its story and action, but we also have some laughs with tangents throughout, and make sure we at least spent a few minutes lampooning the sequels that came after it. So travel back in time with us to 1991 and let's talk T2!

We're talking the original X-MEN movie from 2000, which introduced the world to Hugh Jackman and holds the distinction of being a very underrated comic book/superhero movie that set the tone for the comic book/superhero movie revolution (onslaught) that would follow over the next two decades and into today. This was our first podcast in the same room together, and it was a blast to record, we hope you enjoy it!

This movie podcast will self-destruct in five seconds. Probably not, but who knows? Join us as we talk about Mission: Impossible, the movie that launched Tom Cruise's juggernaut death defying stunt-bonanza franchise, the American answer to James Bond. We had a lot of fun revisiting this somehow underrated movie that even Tom Cruise probably had no idea would evolve into one of the most successful film intellectual properties of all time.

It's wedding season! Jump up and shout as we talk about the 2005 R-rated comedy classic Wedding Crashers including the absurdity of Owen Wilson prying Rachel McAdams away from Bradley Cooper in less than a weekend. We have a blast revisiting this one without an invitation, a comedy that might be one of the last of a dying breed, and we get into why.

We're talking Clint Eastwood's Dirty Harry, a movie that changed the game for cop/crime dramas and paved the way for characters like Martin Riggs in Lethal Weapon and arguably even stories like Die Hard. A straight forward, to-the-point movie that has one of the most iconic movie quotes of all time. So you have to ask yourself one question: Do you feel lucky? Well, do ya? Punks? You're not punks, just go with it.

Ball in! We head back to 1992 and discuss the basketball comedy White Men Can't Jump. The movie that really launched Woody Harrelson's movie career, and teaches an important lesson on how to trash talk, but also feels like you're watching a very slow train wreck as Woody's character keeps finding ways to screw up his life chasing the high of glory.

This episode is all about the 1993 Harrison Ford classic cat and mouse thriller The Fugitive. Yes, we finally got to an H. Ford movie. For a crime drama/thriller, we get a bit off the rails and comical on this one, but we hope you enjoy your take on the last Best Picture nominee of Harrison Ford's career. We delve into why this movie stands the test of time and stands above others of its genre, with our typical brand of humor and analysis throughout.

Before he was Batman, Christian Bale played a role more like the Joker, as psychotic serial killer Patrick Bateman in 2000's American Psycho. We dive into this commentary on high-finance decadence and vapidness of the late 1980s, and discuss whether or not it matters whether we know if he killed those people, or if it was in his head, or a mix of both. We laced up our running sneakers and dropped the chainsaw down the stairwell, did we hit our target? We'll let you decide.

But we are here to talk about the original, from its high-octane action, stellar soundtrack, on and off-set relationships, to ghost Goose, and more. Great balls of fire!

Clint Eastwood returned to Westerns in a big way with the critically acclaimed, financially successful, award winning, and fan beloved Unforgiven in 1992. Along with Gene Hackman and Morgan Freeman, this more realistic take on Western life in late 1800s America sets itself apart, and we had a blast revisiting it for its 30th anniversary. They don't make em like Eastwood and Hackman anymore, and the same goes for Unforgiven, arguably one of the overall greatest Western movies of all time.

Quentin Tarantino's first feature film Reservoir Dogs celebrates its 30th anniversary this year, and we look back on the 1992 movie that started it all for the rebellious, genre-loving, California filmmaker. How do you make a heist movie without including the heist? We get into that and more as we revisit this classic, including our thoughts on why the protagonist Mr. Orange wasn't really that much of a protagonist. Clowns to the left of us, jokers to the right, here we are stuck on this podcast with hopefully you and others.

We're talking Sylvester Stallone's Demolition Man, a 1993 futuristic action movie that rightfully doesn't take itself too seriously, and in that spirit, neither do we. We might spend the least amount of time on the subject at hand on this episode than any we've done previously. It goes off the rails, but we hope you are entertained by what we've put together here, including the fact that Johnny used some "PEDs" for his rewatch.

From its authenticity regarding organized crime, its impact on pop culture and movies that came after it, to its overall story and performances, we had a blast diving into The Godfather, one of the best films ever made.
