The Pet Sematary (1989) Problem 20.10.2023 38:16
We're back, after a week's absence due to Jimmy's damn internet being off for FIVE FULL DAYS! Spooky month continues with the first adaptation of Stephen King's novel inspired by his actual cat dying in an episode recorded on Jimmy's birthday, October 11th. This episode, Jimmy and Jen discuss cats and death. Contains strong language.
The Omen (1976) Problem 07.10.2023 47:01
It's Jimmy's birthday pick and he's running out of movies from 1976 that he watched as a kid! Also, horror because October! Topics include the 70s, remakes and, of course, the Omen "Curse". Contains very strong language and adult themes. Jimmy has a new microphone, so you will hear the bumping of a table and the moving of a chair from his side. He'll adjust it for next time.
The Just One of the Guys (1985) Problem 29.09.2023 32:54
It's Jen's pick and it's oddly similar as the last movie they covered. Kind of. Topics include eyes, boobs and tattoos. The wheel is taking a break until November as October has it's own gimmick. Contains strong language.
The Soul Man (1986) Problem 01.09.2023 43:26
Oh, boy. The time is finally here for Jimmy and Jen to chat about a movie they are both watching for the first time, thanks to "the wheel". Is it a racist piece of crap or a well intentioned oddity? Discussions include Blackface (obviously),racism (obviously) and how the character would fare today. Contains strong language.
The So I Married an Axe Murderer (1993) Problem 25.08.2023 35:00
Jimmy's latest pick is a romantic comedy from the 90s. That's right, JIMMY'S latest pick. He liked Mike Myers when he was younger, what can we say? Topics include the director of the movie, alternate versions of the script and what happened on each of our hosts' day of birth. Oh and did you know Jimmy is Scottish? For next week, we entrust the wheel to pick us something... Contains VERY strong lan...
The Boy Who Could Fly (1986) Problem 19.08.2023 45:00
Jen's newest pick is this whimsical family movie directed by The Shape. Topics of discussion include kissing relatives on the lips, re-watch podcasts and John Carpenter, briefly. Contains strong language and the theme of suicide. Next week, from Michael Myers to Mike Myers...
The Grease 2 (1982) Problem 12.08.2023 41:26
It's the start of a brand new era here at "So, What's the Problem?" as it's time for Jen and Jimmy to watch movies have never seen but have heard they are possibly problematic. Or, in the case of this movie, they just wanted to bitch about Grease. This should be a once a month deal, to try to change things up a little. Next week will be Jen's pick that she has seen but Jimmy has not.
The Golden Child (1986) Problem 28.07.2023 32:51
Aaaaaand, we're back to the 80s, the exact same year as Jimmy's last pick. This week, our intrepid hosts talk about the current Entertainment strikes, the music, a plot point that makes no sense to them and spin a wheel to decide what movie they are covering next... a movie neither host has seen... Contains strong language.
The Trojan War (1997) Problem 20.07.2023 34:25
Jen and Jimmy return to Jennifer Love Hewitt romantic comedy territory with this little seen oddity. They chat about the usual as well as Ben Savage, miscast stars, bad filmmaking choices, safe sex and just what the crap is that David Hasselhoff nonsense about? Contains strong language. Re-upload to fix audio problem.
The Cobra (1986) Problem 12.07.2023 39:00
It's an 80s Stallone movie so you know what that means???? Right-wing politics and lots of violence! And Jimmy still likes it! It's an 80s action movie so you know it's Jimmy's pick. Tune in next week where the movie will be a 90s teen comedy... and still technically Jimmy's pick, masquerading as Jens. Hahahahahahaha. Contains strong language.
The Dick (1999) Problem 05.07.2023 50:00
We are back and we are talking about Dick! Jimmy and Jen discuss the cast, historical accuracy, Abba and confusing actors with their characters. Oh and they talk about action movies in this podcast about a period comedy movie. Next episode is an 80s action movie! Contains strong language.
The Teen Wolf (1985) Problem 12.06.2023 37:00
It's that other movie from 1985 that stars Michael J Fox! Jimmy and Jen talk about the Teen Wolf animated series, how people of any orientation can be unlikeable as well as ponder just what the message of the movie is. And behind the scenes, Jimmy is pondering just how he'll post the video of next week's movie on Youtube. Contains strong and discriminatory language.
The Hand That Rocks the Cradle (1992) Problem 05.06.2023 47:36
We are back and we start off year 4 with this early 90s thriller which is much better than the mid-90s thriller we covered before our break. This is what we call a "bad pick" but we have a good discussion about the movie anyway. Contains strong language and adult topics such as miscarriage and assault. Blame the movie. Should be a lighter show next week!
The Fear (1996) Problem 07.05.2023 33:08
It's our 100th movie! Jimmy and Jen discuss the joyless mid-90s stalker thriller Fear starring Marky Mark, a movie they talked about all the way back in episode one. They talk about confusing geography, Mark Wahlberg's past, doggy murder and stealth badass characters. Also, discover what show Jen has binge watched in the past week at the time of recording. We are taking a break for a few weeks but...
The Death Warrant (1990) Problem 22.04.2023 42:35
Jimmy and Jen dive back into the action movie world of the former's youth but is a first time viewing for the latter. They discuss pointless characters, bad acting, non-scary villains and Jimmy ponders a plot point that males no sense to him. They also welcome Jean Claude Van Damme to the podcast. As in they are covering one of his movies for the first time, he's not a guest or anything. Contains...
The Wild Things (1998) Problem 14.04.2023 40:39
It's our 98th movie, so we're covering a movie from 1998. Jimmy and Jen discuss the twists, Jimmy's thoughts on the unrelated movie The Menu and they disagree on a certain aspect of the movie, Wild Things. Includes very very strong language and talk of sexual assault.
The Howard the Duck (1986) Problem 07.04.2023 43:45
We're back! This week on "Jen Hates Jimmy", it is Howard the freaking Duck time! Our fearless duo talk about duck nudity, duck anatomy, duck puns and Marvel movies again. It's okay, though, this is based on a Marvel comic, so it's justified, honest! Contains strong language.
Scream VI Spoiler Discussion 16.03.2023 43:21
It's new movie spoiler time! Jimmy and Jen discuss the 6th movie in a franchise they both love but did they enjoy this particular entry?

Contains spoilers for the Scream franchise (although, why would you start...

The Ace Ventura: Pet Detective (1994) Problem 04.03.2023 38:00
One of the comedies from the year that made Jim Carrey a star and one that is very troubling for a number of reasons. Jim Carrey wearing a tutu is oddly not one of them. Beware, do not listen if you love this movie. Or do then email us at contact@shiftybench.co.uk to tell us why we're wrong. Contains talk of Homophobia and Transphobia because that's just the movie we're covering.
The Malice (1993) Problem 25.02.2023 38:00
Jimmy and Jen stay in 1993 this week with an often forgotten thriller co-written by one of Jen's favourite writers.

The Cliffhanger (1993) Problem 17.02.2023 47:00
Jimmy and Jen are back and this time round, Jimmy has picked a classic Stallone flick that is great and he won't hear any different! They talk about age gaps in movies, The Razzies, Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls and Buffy, briefly. It's okay, though, this movie has an actor from the show in it. An actor who was in two episodes in the second season but still... Contains strong language.
The Toy (1982) Problem 27.01.2023 34:00
It's Jen's birthyear pick and she has went with the 8th most racist movie ever made according to the Complex site. Is its place on such a list warranted? They talk about that as well as Richard Pryor, Scott Schwartz's adult career and compare the 90s and the 90s. Contains strong language and racist language used in context of the movie.
The Beverly Hills Cop (1984) Problem 13.01.2023 37:32
