Technically, a child abduction movie but as Disney is the producer the abduction is done for laughs. You see the abductor is an alien spaceship that sounds an awful lot like Pee Wee Herman. Definitely a kid’s movie but does it still work?

Living machines from out of space having nothing better to do with their time help a bunch of New Yorkers hang on to a condemned building. Does that sound stupid? Sure. But maybe it still works?

It’s the movie that launched a sequel, a cartoon, a TV show and a remake. But does that mean it still works? Also, just how many montages can a 90 minute movie have? A lot of them, evidently.

Our patreon people picked this minor Woody Allen movie. Can’t say here if it still works but we can mention that the women are all age appropriate and nobody wants to bed an underage child.so that’s different from Woody’s usual fare.

It’s not a sequel. It’s not a remake. It’s simply another Bad Lieutenant but this time he’s in New Orleans and he is Nicolas Cage. Does that make it better or worse?

We kick off union movie month (in March, get it?) with this chestnut from the forties picked by our Patreons. This comedy, about a boss spying on workers who want to form a union, was a box office hit back in its day. How does it hold up over eighty years later?

Four guys in 2010 go back in time to the 1980s and do almost exactly the sort of humor you got out of many 1980s comedies. Now two guys in 2024 go back to 2010 and judge them for it.

It’s our 200th episode! To celebrate we hopped into a Tardis and went all the way back to 1949. Why? Because that’s where you’ll find Joe’s favorite movie of all time, The Third Man. Yes, the show's only black host loves a movie set in post World War 2 Vienna that stars absolutely no POC. Yikes. Anyway, enjoy.

This movie was released on November 1,1967. 10 months later Joe was born. Coincidence? Probably. But Joe never asked his parents if they were watching this flick when they were banging and now they're both gone so we’ll never know the truth.. Anyway, the film is a classic. But does it still work?
