What's poppin' kernels and corn dogs? You're invited to the JPI wrap party as we reflect on the movies we watched and the moments that made us Cap'n Pop & the Corn Dog himself. Our end of the year bash features quizzes, awards, conspiracy theories, a competitive (and the most ridiculous) championship bracket, and much, much, much, much, much, MUCH more. Seriously - there&ap...

Santa Claus, Martians, freeze ray guns, killer robots and Christmas kidnaps. That's what's in Santa's sack in our last movie of the year. On top of all that, this obscure 60's sci-fi yuletide flick is a flop with the very little critics who watched it, and we're here to challenge that in our final Flopbuster of the year. Whether it's in Santa's sleigh or in a Mar...

It's snowy season! And what better way to kick it off than with another box office bomb. In this episode James shares a childhood film with his best friend, Nick questions the properties of living snowmen, and Just Play it makes a lot of snow puns. Time to sled into this Bombastic film and chill with the coolest iceman there is, Michael Keaton. Let's snow! Music by these extremely talent...

Just Play It finds itself in a battle against tilted cameras, maniacal laughs, and alien bulge. James & Nick review this 2000 sci-fi John Travolta movie based on an L.

Grab your garlic spray and come along as Just Play It expands their Non-Cinematic-Universe. Time to see what this vampire hunting, one liner sayin', cool-guy bad-ass can add to the NCU saga. Thanks for tuning in. For more, follow us on Instagram & Yo...

Spooky szn is among us! We finish strong with an absolute classic, John Carpenter's The Thing. This is a monster of a task as James & Nick both watch this 40 year old movie for the first time to decide if this horror flick is outdated & overrated, or if it still got that dog in it - much like the Thing. . Music by these extremely talented artists: "Spooky Swing (Electro Swing Mix...

James & Nick feel pretty safe being virgins - that is - virgins to the Scream franchise... Anyway they aren't dying today, but they're dying to watch this classic 90s slasher flick. It's a killer wave, that's all the rave, directed by the Crave(n). . Music by these extremely talented artists: "Spooky Swing (Electro Swing Mix)" - Captain Matt & Electro Swing Th...

Spooky szn rolls on and we get a crash course in how NOT to direct a movie from Stephen King.

James and Nick can't turn their necks away from the screen this week as they hop in the Batmobile to witness the Tim Burton twist on Bruce Wayne & the Joker.

We spun the wheel o' Disney Channel Original Movies and landed on this vintage Lawrence Brothers movie, Horse Sense, a humble family drama, which also boasts an action movie thriller sequel, Jumping Ship, which makes total (horse) sense. So we decided to watch both in our first ever back-to-back review. Come join us in the horse time jump continuum ship, premiering at 8a/7a central. Thanks fo...

Nick and James correct course back to the road with a PG-13 Max.

James and Nick take on another Flop-buster case. We remember Flubber fondly from childhood, but its average score falls below the 40% rating. Is it truly a flop? Or is it ok in our book? A modern day rewatch has Nick questioning the property of flying rubber and James making way too many Marvel movie comparisons to this gooey goofy romp. Thanks for tuning in.
