Does This Still Work?

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

337 The Grifters 1990 09/09/2026

337 The Grifters 1990 The movie was released in 1990. It’s set in the 80s but it comes across like it was happening in the 60s. Or does it? The boys discuss that and other stuff when they take a look at this Annette Bening, John Cusack, and Anjelica Huston Oscar nominated crime thriller. Also, why is this another film that has incest as part of the plot?

336 Sweet November 2001 09/02/2026

336 Sweet November 2001 You're a woman with a terminal illness. What do you dedicate your remaining time on Earth to? Friends and family? Settling your affairs? Well, if you’re like Charlize Theron in this movie you spend your precious last breaths helping a workaholic Keanu Reeves embrace life. Why does she do this? Because this film was directed and written by men, that’s why.

334 Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels (1998) 08/19/2026

334 Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels (1998) The boys return to the world of Guy Ritchie, which means lots of unrealistic violence, unrealistic characters and (at least in this film) an absence of women. Will the boys find this film point blank entertaining? Or is Guy firing blanks?

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.

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) 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.

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