Does This Still Work?

A podcast where we look at old movies and ask "Does this still work?"

329 ET (1982) 07/15/2026

329 ET (1982) Show Notes Are you old enough to remember when “ET phone home” was a playground insult? How about guys saying ET: Extra Testicle? Well, George doesn’t. But Joe remembers it all. Join the boys as they look at the Steven Spielberg alien movie that people didn’t hate (unlike Disclosure Day.).

328 Kramer Vs. Kramer (1979) 07/08/2026

328 Kramer Vs. Kramer (1979) Despite what George thought, this has nothing to do with Seinfeld. Instead, Dustin Hoffman plays a bad husband and father who is dumped by wife Meryl Streep and has to start raising his kid on his own. Wait a minute, a man forced to parent his own child? Shocking. And it’s not even a comedy.

326 An American Tail 1986 An immigrant mouse and his family come to America. As this film was made in 1986 this isn’t controversial in the least. Today? Maybe not so much?

325 South Park: Bigger Longer & Uncut (1999) It’s animation month. This episode we go back to 1999 to revisit a movie version of a show that is still on the air! Do you remember the premise of this film was America going to war with Canada? Can you imagine anything so ridiculous? America threatening war with our neighbor to the North? LOL.

324 Heavy Metal (1981) 06/10/2026

324 Heavy Metal (1981) Years ago there were these things called magazines. They were kid’s picture books but for adults. One of the more adult versions of a magazine was Heavy Metal. It was basically a comic book for horny dudes who couldn’t get a hold of Playboy. In 1981 they made an animated movie about the mag. The boys discuss.

322 Planes Trains and Automobiles (1987) 05/27/2026

322 Planes Trains and Automobiles (1987) John Candy and Steve Martin star as two guys with very different personalities who have to make it from NYC to Chicago during Thanksgiving. Literally, millions make this trip all the time with nothing weird happening. But this is a John Hughes comedy so all sorts of craziness ensues. Speaking of John Hughes, he takes off time from roasting in Hell to stop by for a chat. Links Does This Still Work? - TV Podcast ‎Does This Still Work? on Apple Podcasts .

321 Point Break (1991) Keanu Reeves and Gary Busey play two FBI agents on the hunt for surfer dude/banker robber Patrick Swayze. Are these two agents bad at their job? Is there a gay subtext here and that’s why Lori Petty’s character exists? Does this movie make any kind of sense at all? The boys discuss.

320 Snatch (2000) Don’t get too excited. The snatch in this case means to attempt to seize something suddenly.
