Does This Still Work?
A podcast where we look at old movies and ask "Does this still work?"
Tremors 1990
As simple a premise for a flick as you could ask for. A bunch of monsters show up and a small group towns people must fight them. You've seen variations of this theme, how well do they pull it off here? The guys discuss.

No, this movie isn't about America after the Trump Presidency. Rather, this is a Johnny (Stop Or I'll Sue) Depp picture where he plays a psychic cop who spends a lot of time NOT preventing Jack The Ripper from killing women. George and Joe discuss.

Silence of The Lambs (1991)
Does the human liver really go with fava beans and Chianti? Also, our livers weigh 3 pounds. That's a lot of liver to eat. But the boys won't get all of that as they discuss this 1991 Academy Award winner.

My Best Friend's Wedding (1997)
A year before this picture came out Julia Roberts starred in a film where she was a maid to Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. But in this movie, she is her own Mr. Hyde. Join the boys as they discuss one of the most despicable characters ever to be the hero of an alleged romantic comedy.

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?

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.

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.

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.
