In an episode that went off the rails in a few places, Sage has picked 1959's North by Northwest, starring Cary Grant, Eva Marie Saint, and James Mason. Tate is confused by a few things, arguments happen about many things including what genre this movie is, Roger's sneaky sneaky spy skills are discussed, and more!

The GD4AM boys head to the movie theater this week to see the newest Martin McDonagh joint, The Banshees of Inisherin. This movie stars Colin Farrell, Brenda, Gleeson, Kerry Condon, Barry Keoghan, and the brilliant Irish language/accent. Before we get the review going we talk about our favorite holidays and where Thanksgiving ranks and Tom Hanks' addiction to doing bad accents in movies. This movi...

We make a trip up to Oregon once again as Sage picks 2021's Pig starring Nicolas Cage. Before we get into the movie, Jacob is once again shocked by Tate and Sage's inability to remember anything he ever tells them. Once we get into the review it's a lot of discussion about whether the subtleness of the movie worked or not as well as, of course, lots of Oregon talk (even some geography), that, and...

With 8 weeks in between picks for Jacob, we are back to your regularly scheduled programming with 1987's The Untouchables. This movie stars Kevin Costner, Sean Connery, Robert De Niro, and Andy Garcia. We discuss the performances, Jacob and Sage argue about orchestral use, dolphin dives, rolling off of buildings, historical inaccuracies, how cool Chicago would be if there wasn't constant crime and...

DISCLAIMER: The Good Day for a Movie Podcast does not endorse The Goonies as a Halloween movie and denounces any site or person who does. Halloween Special time!! Well, that's what it was supposed to be until Sage derailed it with his hatred of scary movies. Three movies were submitted and the only non-Halloween film won but the wheel is just so Tate, Sage, and Jacob watch The Goonies, one for the...

As Sage boycotts, Tate, and Jacob turned to recurring guests, the Deucecast Movie Show's Michael Nipp and a friend of the program, Aussie Nate to review 2008's Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Were aliens a step too far for the franchise? Who hurt George Lucas? Harrison Ford is still great. Shia Labeouf did what he could but with a name like Mutt? He was definitely a bit set up...

Seventy-five percent of the way through Franchise Frenzy leads us to review 1989's Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. Throughout this episode, we talk about more of the George Lucas influence, Harrison Ford and Sean Connery's chemistry, some religious aspects of the movie, and much more! This episode was recorded live on our YouTube Channel . This movie was directed by Steven Spielberg GD4AM: 87/...

We continue FRANCHISE FRENZY with the second entry into the Indiana Jones franchise, The Temple of Doom. Well, at least 2/3 of the podcast knows this is the case. After everything gets straightened out and everybody watches the right movie, Tate, Sage, and Jacob talk about some iconic moments from Harrison Ford and Ke Huy Quan, the annoying Willie Scott, more George Lucas influence, homages and ca...

Welcome to the first episode of FRANCHISE FRENZY where we take a break from our regularly scheduled picks to review a movie franchise, however long that may take. For our first franchise, it's Indiana Jones! In the inaugural episode, we review Steven Spielberg and George Lucas' Raiders of the Lost Ark. Tate has very few memories of seeing this movie, while Jacob has seen it nearly as many times as...

For Sage's pick, we review an over-the-top Sci-Fi movie, The Fifth Element starring Bruce Willis, Gary Oldman, Milla Jovovich, and Chris Tucker. Unsurprisingly, Star Wars was brought up many times, we talked about the performances, the technology, and we attempt to answer the question, was it so bad and over the top that it was good?  This movie was directed by Luc Besson. GD4AM: 71/100 IMDb:...

We take a little trip to 1955 in this episode by reviewing Rebel Without a Cause, starring James Dean, Natalie Wood, and Sal Mineo. We talk about the untimely passing of all three stars, we get into a classic argument about what happened when and where and Sage thinks Jacob and Tate are gaslighting him, which leads to rewatching part of the movie during the podcast, and we even talk a little fashi...

We're back with our third Listener's Choice episode of the podcast. After randomizing our many submissions (too many, if you ask Sage) the winner was The Warriors from 1979. Right off the bat, the boys were split on this one. One hated it, one loved it and the other was right in between theM. The boys bring up the cringy bottle scene, the romance, the gangs, the event that gets the warriors in tro...

The moment Sage has been dreading is finally here, no, Tate didn't pick a musical, instead, Christian Bale's breakout movie, American Psycho. We start out the conversation trying to figure out what was real and not real and if that whole thing worked. We then get into acting performances, the correct pronunciation of Willem and Guinevere, what breaking down Huey Lewis and the News, Genesis, and Wh...

Nachoooooo Libreeeeee! We are returning to our elementary and junior high roots and reviewing Nacho Libre, starring Jack Black. With most comedies, most of the show is spent retelling the funniest parts of the movie. We also talk about Tenacious D, Jack Black's career, some people loved Napoleon Dynamite, one person hated it, and Jacob played with his soundboard effects a little too much, fun was...

Summer may be wrapping up but that just means more time to watch movies as the weather worsens. For our very first end-of-summer special, Sage and Jacob, with surprise guest, Kayle Lowdermilk, review 2001's Wet Hot American Summer and its all-star cast that includes Elizabeth Banks, Bradley Cooper, Paul Rudd, Christopher Meloni, Janeane Garofalo, Marguerite Moreau, David Hyde Pierce, and Amy Poehl...

We once again travel back to the year Tate and Jacob were born with Jacob's newest pick, Heat, starring Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, Val Kilmer, and Jon Voight. Before we get into the movie, Sage recaps his European EDM vacation, it went well until it didn't...in the review, Tate and Jacob discuss the plot points, characters, share some fun facts, and talk about Glen Campbell. Sage is present but is...

A longtime friend of the podcast boys, Harrison, jumped on this week for an episode almost as bizarre as the movie we watched. Tate and Harrison kick things off by pranking Jacob before getting introducing Harrisons pick from 1985, Brazil, by Terry Gilliam. The boys are forced to channel their inner high school brain to analyze this dystopian story about a man chasing literally the girl of his dre...

Tate has crossed a boundary that was set at the beginning of the podcast. He has picked a horror movie but did Sage watch it? Did Tate watch any of the movies we've reviewed? Was Sage able to sleep? Was Jacob even on this episode? Find out all of that and more by tuning into this week's review of 1978's Invasion of the Body Snatchers starring Donald Sutherland, Brooke Adams, Jeff Goldblum, Veronic...

Harrison Ford time on the Good Day for a Movie Podcast and somehow Jacob wasn't the one to pick it? Sage picks 1993's The Fugitive, starring Harrison Ford and Tommy Lee Jones. Sage questions if Tate actually watched the movie, Sage tests Jacob's Harrison Ford trivia knowledge, and Sage throws down the gauntlet to the Scrubs stars that he will destroy any Scrubs trivia challenge they "drive" his wa...

As Tate, Sage, and Jacob move past their 100th episode, Jacob revisits the well of Richard Linklater, turning to his 2017 movie Last Flag Flying starring Steve Carell, Bryan Cranston, and Laurence Fishburn. Jacob overuses the word "pointed", Sage makes multiple analogies, and Tate discovers he may be a follower when it comes to comedies.  This movie was directed by Richard Linklater. GD4AM: 7...

Wow! Episode 100! Thank you everybody for listening! We have all had an absolute blast making this podcast. We have Chris Todd on this episode to review 1961's Yojimbo. We talk about the influence the western genre and specifically, John Ford had on Kurosawa, the influence Kurosawa had on cinema as a whole from George Lucas and Star Wars to Steven Spielberg and Sergio Leone, what makes this movie...

Anime is on the mind of Tate and Sage, so Tate picks a 1988 anime movie, Akira. Jacob was not a fan but attempts to contribute to the conversation here and there. Was this movie part of the inspiration for the Duffer Brothers in making Stranger Things? How do you judge a project based on source material if they just allude to certain things happening if you're not familiar with the said source mat...
