sportsalcohol.com podcast
Seasonal switch! After over a decade of looking back at various high-grossing summer movies, we've done something different for 1995. Though we had our usual 20-years-ago and 40-years-ago flashback episodes about the summers past, we also ventured into the HOLIDAY CORRIDOR of 30 years ago to look at the biggest movies first released in November and December 1995, an eclectic bunch that includes three (!) comedy sequels, a seminal crime picture, a prescient sci-fi freakout, Ian Fleming's 007, a pointless remake, and more! Join us as we mix our own memories of '95 with our recent revisitations...

After a ridiculously long hiatus, the SportsAlcohol.com crew is back to talk about the biggest summer blockbusters... of 40 years ago. Time travel, space travel, relitigating Vietnam, a bunch of mouthy kids, James Bond, and an overserving of Chevy Chase; truly, this summer had it all, by which we mean a couple of good movies tops! But Ben, Jeremy, Marisa, Sara, and Jesse find some bright spots and some cultural touchstones to discuss in this odd assortment of (a few) classics and (more) curiosities.

Belatedly venturing into a new decade for our summer flashback series, the SportsAlcohol.com crew looks back at the top 10 highest-grossing movies released in the summer of 1984! Recorded way back in the vintage summer of 2024, lost to time, and then recovered just in time for the tail-end of the year, this episode goes deep on mid-80s blockbusters featuring gremlins, ghosts, sports, spaceships, cops, breakdancers, and nerds (of course, there are always nerds on SportsAlcohol.com podcasts). So grab your proton packs, hold off on your electric boogaloos, and get ready to remember the summer...

Ten years ago, we did our first 20-years-ago flashback podcast about summer movies. To celebrate the 10th anniversary of these 20th anniversaries, we decided to circle back to 1994 and talk about ten movies that were very much not the ten highest grossers of that summer, including nascent superheroes, mad bombers, beloved and obscure indies, and a couple of natural born killers. Join us for another and even more eclectic trip down memory lane!

It's that time of year again: Time for the good people of SportsAlcohol.com to jump in their exclusively movie-related time machines and travel back 20 years for a look at the summer movies that were on top of the box office in 2004. Tom Cruise breaks bad! Hugh Jackman breaks worse! Michael Moore breaks records! Fox Searchlight puts out not one but two generational indie movies with their own individual backlashes! And who cares about Shrek when a new Riddick adventure is in the offing? These are the cultural events that Nathaniel, Jeremy, Jesse, and Marisa will be covering in great detail for...

Some months ago, Nathaniel, Jesse, and Marisa got together to talk about the then-new movie Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire. Since then, everyone's lives got real busy and Jesse didn't carve out any time to edit it. But now that Godzilla and Kong have made their way to HBO Max and will presumably remain there in heavy rotation for months, we've decided to belatedly unleash our episode on what still remains one of the biggest movies of the year. As a special bonus, we have a segment featuring an eight-year-old talking about how much she loved the movie. So enjoy this long-delayed episode as you...
