Does This Still Work?

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

305 Mrs. Doubtfire 1993 01/28/2026

305 Mrs. Doubtfire 1993 A man’s irresponsible behavior causes him to lose his wife and 3 children. So what can he do but disguise himself as a woman and stalk his ex and children?

304 Love Actually 2003 01/21/2026

304 Love Actually 2003 Whenever you get gloomy with the state of the world, think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport. Or Grand Central Station. Or really, think about anything but the plot of this rom com. Love, actually, might be all around but it may not be in this flick.

303 The Final Countdown 1980 01/14/2026

303 The Final Countdown 1980 It’s a scifi movie. It’s a war movie. It’s a one hour and 43 minute ad for an aircraft carrier. The Final Countdown was many things, but were any of them good?

302 The Terminator 1984 01/07/2026

302 The Terminator 1984 It’s THE Terminator. Accept no terrible sequels. This is Schwarzenegger's first time playing the lead villain and because the bad guy is a machine, he’s excellent in it. The film itself though, is that excellent? The boys discuss.

298 How High 2001 12/10/2025

298 How High 2001 It’s a stoner movie which means the actors pretend to be smoking the devil’s lettuce to the amusement of filmgoers. The question here is, were Joe and George amused?

294 Thomasine & Bushrod 1974 In 1967 a movie loosely based on the outlaws, Bonnie and Clyde, was a smash hit. The Hollywood of yesterday was no better than the Hollywood of today so a number ripoffs were made in the wake of B & C in hopes of capturing that same box office success..
