It's Everyday with John and Jay

When you think of Santa Claus films usually the Tim Allen version is the one most people think of.  Not us!  We think of the 1985 version starring David Huddleston, Dudley Moore and John Lithgow.  A …

Charles Dickens wrote A Christmas Carol in 1843 and over the many years there have been many TV and film adaptations of the story.  But to us, none come close as Disney's "Mickey's Christmas Carol". …

A polarizing movie for sure.  A Christmas Story, whether you love it or hate it, has been gracing our TV's for almost 40 years now.  With the new sequel "A Christmas Story Christmas" arriving, we wan…

We are on the push to Christmas and we kick things off with the 1992 sequel to "Home Alone", "Home Alone 2:  Lost in New York" starring Macaulay Culkin.  We feel this is the stronger of the Home Alon…

We have covered John Candy and Steve Martin before on this show.  But what happens when these two icons of comedy combine forces?  Well you get the 1987 classic "Planes, Trains and Automobiles" direc…

The co-hosts of this podcast are split on the work of Pauly Shore.  With that said, we can both agree that the 1993 film Son in Law which had Pauley Shore as the lead is indeed funny.  Shore's charac…

Sautéed or Barbecued.

We decided to transition to the Thanksgiving season (NOT Christmas) by selecting Addams Family Values as our topic.  If you have already seen the film then you already know what …

The Addams Family have been engrained in pop culture for many decades.  Starting out as a comic strip in the 'New Yorker' in 1938, it was turned into a feature film in 1991 starring Christina Ricci, …

In this episode we tackle the 1980 Stanley Kubrick masterpiece known as The Shining.  Based off the Stephen King book of the same name. Also starring Shelley Duvall we go over this supernatural thril…

It's October so spooky season is in full effect.  We continue our spooktacular month with a look at a true cult classic in Killer Klowns from Outer Space.  This has all the makings of a killer (no pu…

And now, you're mine!

A definite cult classic for sure, this film starring Bette Midler and Sarah Jessica Parker is in constant rotation around Halloween time.  A tale of three Salem witches coming ba…

Feeling good Louis!

Eddie Murphy and Dan Aykroyd star in this hilarious 1983 comedy about a rags to riches and riches to rags story.  Objectively, no one likes stock brokers.  And when two meddling ol…

No ordinary thermos will do.

Steve Martin is one of the best comedians of all time and that shines through in the 1979 comedy "The Jerk".  A movie that paved the way for the Dumb and Dumber's of the w…

I'm your Dad's brother all right.

We have covered John Candy on this show before but no other performance stands out on its own like Uncle Buck.  Uncle Buck gets summoned to watch after his brother's …

Two Yutes...Oh I'm sorry, two youths.

Joe Pesci is known as a little hothead in a lot of movies but no movie harnesses that volatility for a good cause like My Cousin Vinny.  Pesci was a god in this f…

OO-DE-LALLY!!!

Before the Lion King and Little Mermaid, Disney came out with this gem of an animated feature called Robin Hood!  Using a unique way to tell the story of Robin Hood.  Disney used animal…

She's coming in to your town!!

That's right that freckle faced red head girl you want to know is a gem and we love this film.  Maybe not as well known as other 80s films, this film is still tons of fu…

We haven't done a horror movie yet so we said "what the hell".

Of all the 80s horror franchises, this is one that freaked us out the most.  To think, a child's toy, coming to life, and fucking murderi…

We had to run this back.

We talked in an earlier episode about Pee Wee's Playhouse and kinda glossed over this film.  But we decided we had to give this film its props.  Tim Burton's first feature fil…
