Does This Still Work?

Let's talk about sex! Let's talk about you and me. Well us and this film, anyway. Comedian DB Frick joins us to discuss Woody Allen's most endearing and heart warming film (Joke! This film is totally not that). Also, Masters and Johnson get sued. We define Woody Allen's alleged crimes, because why not? Meanwhile, Joe doesn't get the Woolite joke and somebody mixes up his Jews. Twice. Explore the d...

We hear she wore blue velvet but in our hearts there'll always be this movie. Don't put the disease in us but check out the Apple Collection. How about some Mad Cow? Richard Gere and the Gerbil. Twin Peaks or Sex in The City? Whose bigger? That's no Heineken commercial, is it? More fucks per minute than your average, brand name movies. By the way, baby wants to fuck.

We say, sit on down, open your eyes and open up your ears. Put the boogie in your butt as we look at one of Eddie Murphy's most successful films. Plus, a true life African student's horrible encounter. A not so secret history of soap operas. What's with the dojo? No Jheri curls in the military? Can a guy not know how to mop really prepare a meal? All of that and more in this week's episode.

Only the good die young. That's what we said. Only the good die young. And that's the upside to coronavirus. Most Republicans are not good nor young. Moving on, starting out in gibberish and moving to English? Where do ghosts notes come from? Why would ghosts ask children for assistance? Are there bulletin boards for the dead? Did that ghost peak in Elementary school? So what is more terrifying? N...

Back in the saddle again, out where a friend is Kevin Costner. Enjoy a little aborigine history (Native American history month is when!?) as we take a look at Dances with Wolves. Meanwhile, what's a No Man's Land? Was that Murphy Brown's painter? Two different versions of this 3 hour film? How many blows to the head before brain damage sets in? Why doesn't Cynthia Ann Parker have her own film? And...

It had to be Annie Hall. It had to be Annie Hall. We wandered around and finally found Annie Hall. But what about Son of Sam? And that awful Phyllis Schlafly! One thing is for sure that the reference to WEB Dubois was a joke. Speaking of jokes, what joke did Alvy have for that black guy? Do actors use fake lips to gay kiss (no.). Plus, group victim blaming. Plus, don't say that about Rob. By the w...

It's all death, death, death and JC Penney on this episode of Does This Still Work as we drive off a cliff and crash down into the world of Harold and Maude. (Which we may have multiversed). Besides that, we most definitely brought in the cops. The real question is, life affirming, or misogynist nonsense, or both? 

Let's talk about balls err..., we mean, let's talk about face masks. No, let's talk about Waiting To Exhale the film that made a meme out of Angela Bassett! Yes, we are in 1995 and the Million Man March is on but in the theaters some black ladies are dating. And who is more qualified to discuss the dating life of black women than George and Joe? Meanwhile, do you miss the racism? Can you really sl...

On this episode we welcome comedian, podcastor and exceptionally tall human, JL Cauvin from Making Podcasts Great Again to the program as we explore the year 1989 and the movie, Dead Poets Society. Plus, the childhood joys of bathing in Dawn dishwashing soap. Cheating law enforcement. Why people in dramas can't stop laughing at Robin Williams? How is that romance remotely okay? Very on brand Bill...

Lift every voice and sing, we have our first ever guest! From the Queersplaining podcast it's our friend (and editor) Callie Wright. Plus, the two best riots of 1989. Is the opening too long? What's the deal with Spike and his sister? Is that the hill to die on? Public Enemy as street preacher? And is it ever too hot to fuck? How does one say Pizzaria? And don't drink Smirnoff Ice in the desert. ...

There is no 94 like 1994. And there is no movie like Shawshank Redemption, except for the part that reminds us of MASH. Anyway, don't do a sitcom with a comedian and don't talk to your warden without your lawyer. Word to the wise.

We can see into the future and because of that we know you will love this episode. It's 1983 and Christopher Walken is starring in a story from the mind of Stephen King. So put away your crystal ball, get off the ice before it breaks and join as we butcher Edgar Allen Poe, cast shade on Isaac Asimov and enter our own personal dead zone's all the while asking: Does This Still Work?

It's Batman villains galore in the Best Picture of 1975. And it is 1975, too bad love won't keep us together. Also likely not kept together was Jimmy Hoffa's corpse. But we must ask, do your meds and booze mix? Why would kids like sedatives? And what's with making the hero a pedo? But what's a comedy drama without the comedy? Meanwhile, don't forget Taxi.   

Welcome to 1984, the reality not the book. Prince is in the movie house and albums are getting labeled. Meanwhile, Satan thinks of the (white) children. Somebody jumps the gun (no pun intended) on the chalk outline and look at what happens in a McDonald's. It's becomes a fun American trend! Also, Marvin Gaye gets shot and killed by his dad this year but we forgot to mention it in this episode so n...

It's 1969 and Bob and Carol are two squares who get their minds open after attending some fantastically good talk therapy. And once the minds are open then so are the legs! It's what the world needs now. But why does Alice's therapist look at her like that? And who is responsible for the maintenance of Elliot Gould's back hair? But first up, Woodstock? Seriously?

The 1974 TV special has fallen into our Movie Miser hands.  Who died on stage? What's the deal with Santa's doctor? Do no countries have mixed populations? Oh, and Mrs. Claus is not a name, just so you know. 

Are army doctors required to be assholes? What are nurses for, anyway? And sweet Jesus, what was it with the 1970s and having dude only flights? Buckle up as we explore one of the biggest films of it's era and all the other high jinks of this bygone era.
