Good Times Great Movies

While Jamie fully embraces her love of JCVD as well as this genre of film, Doug can't wrap his mind around the New York mafia's plan to buy out the most successful dojos on the west coast. Also, this movie's amazing! Do yourself a favor and watch it before listening to the episode. We wouldn't want to ruin any of this for you... https://www.goodtimesgreatmovies.com Support the show on Patreon: htt...

All Doug wanted was a futuristic game show where people throw ducks at balloons and nothing is as it seems. Instead, we discuss a film with wall-to-wall accents, and a performance by Arnold that makes his work in Commando appear Oscar-worthy. Jamie's a bit punchy, sleepy and angry...because she had to watch The Running Man. https://www.goodtimesgreatmovies.com Support the show on Patreon: https://...

On this episode, Jamie and Doug can't get enough Leroy but have no interest in much else going on at this school. Jamie can't stop thinking about Freddie Prinze Jr. and Doug takes any chance he can get to bring up Can't Stop the Music. Oh, and the next episode's a birthday choice so get ready! https://www.goodtimesgreatmovies.com Support the show on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/goodtimesgreatm...

On our latest episode, Doug clumsily refuses to introduce the guest, Jamie can't tell the difference between sunscreen and calamine lotion, and special guest Stephanie Crawford posits that sex robots might weigh upwards of 5,000 lbs. Oh, and they all hate the lead in this movie! Follow Stephanie Crawford on Twitter!https://twitter.com/scrawfish https://www.goodtimesgreatmovies.com Support the show...

In this episode, Jamie and Doug are giddy to watch a very young River Phoenix act like a middle aged scientist and follow around an adorable baby Ethan Hawke. Sadly, interesting subplots involving Dick Miller and Meshach Taylor go un'explored' and the movie devolves into nonsense during the last third. Also, Amanda Peterson's just hanging around with nothing to do. Most of this is a good film...mo...

We've tried really hard to avoid discussing movies that would have been relegated to USA Up All Night's lineup of sleazy trash, but we're doing a camp movie every summer so it looks like we couldn't make it past year five! This is incompetently made garbage by a director with a fascinating career. Find the film on YouTube if you dare but better yet, just listen to the discussion. https://www.goodt...

Sometimes we review movies that feel progressive for the time period and we get lulled into a sense that the 1980s were a time of acceptance and equality. But there are other times that we come across movies that bring the racist reality of the time flooding back. I'll give you one guess as to what kind of movie this is... https://www.goodtimesgreatmovies.com Support the show on Patreon: https://w...

In the latest episode, Doug reveals that while he still doesn't enjoy apes in film, he feels much more comfortable when they're wearing clothes, and Jamie becomes frustrated (as all should) with Link's refusal to respect personal space boundaries. A movie with many questions, relatively no answers and a baffling score. Let's discuss Link! https://www.goodtimesgreatmovies.com Support the show on Pa...

Grab a giant can of Aqua Net, slather some cheap eyeliner on your face, squeeze into your assless chaps and join Doug and Jamie as they venture deep into the Southern California hair metal scene of the late 1980s. It’s the first documentary covered on the show and a fitting way to close out the fourth year! Thanks to all the listeners through the first four years of the show and here’s to another...

Jamie and Doug dig deep on the latest episode as they try and figure out what exactly is going on in Lumberton, what Frank Booth is sucking down in that gas tank, when this movie takes place, why Laura Dern looks the way she does when she cries, how many mechanical birds actually populate this town, why half the dialogue is beer-centric, and why Frank thinks that disguise would fool anyone. It's o...

On this action-packed episode, Jamie’s in a different timezone and comes off as sleepy and Doug is forced to watch a Chuck Norris movie and comes off as aggravated. The two try and get to the bottom of Chuck’s appeal and wade through lazy action sequences and uninspired dialogue to get there. But don’t worry, Dennis Farina shows up occasionally to inject a bit of life into this film and our hosts...

Doug is slightly concerned when he sees the interview the The Incredible Shrinking Woman's husband on the 'Sparkle Lady Talk Show'. He has some very bad things to say about the Institution for the Unexplained and that's where Jamie was just sent a few months earlier. Doug was sure to put plenty of air holes in the cardboard box and even a larger hole so she could extend her arm if blood needed to...

Jamie and Doug are brought in to shut down the New Orleans Zoo due to the abhorrent conditions in the 'big cat/primate' section. As they are loading the animals into trucks to haul away to zoos across the country that treat their animals at least a bit better, they're puzzled when they hear the zookeeper screaming that they're 'taking his girlfriend away'. And while that's odd, it's even more stra...

Doug and Jamie arrive at their local McDonld's to find the place absolutely jumpin'! It's to the point of aggravation as a dance party erupts and staff is incapable of serving food due to the infectious rhythm. The two grab the food themselves and eat silently in the Mayor McCheese head in the play area. https://www.goodtimesgreatmovies.com Support the show on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/good...

After having just seen him in concert, Jamie and Doug run across Bruno X at a sketchy club and then show up to the set of his latest music video. After realizing that the guy stumbling around in the street and knocking over the back up dancers isn't the star, they head over to the Tiki Bar...where they see Bruno X again!!! LA is basically any small town in Wyoming. Support the show on Patreon: htt...

Preteen D.C. residents, Doug and Jamie are drawn to the local drug dealer and his daily confrontations with a local cabbie who is always dressed as though he's heading to a 'Sweatin' to the Oldies' taping. Most of the other neighborhood kids are enamored by the drug dealer's killer car, but Doug and Jamie just can't get enough of those sweet, sweet drugs! Support the show on Patreon: https://www.p...

'I mean, who even hires a mime for a child's birthday party?' Jamie and Doug continue discussing this fact days after the party ended. 'I mean, they're not funny, they're not entertaining, and they're certainly not appropriate entertainment for the late 20th century! He's associated with that rec center downtown that's full of those amazing dancers. Could the kid's parents not afford Ozone and Tur...

After witnessing what is clearly a small child stacked on top of two dogs place a bet, Jamie and Doug pool together their depression-era life savings of $43 and bet on the long-shot in the 5th, The Grand Chawhee! To be honest, at 1000/1 odds, it's worth it to even put down a buck but they clean up with $43,000 and get the hell out of New Orleans as the town appears to be overrun with murderous dog...

The Hong Kong Gazette editors, Doug & Jamie (both white Americans) waited anxiously for the expose on underground fighting by their star reporter (another white American) and it took her weeks to put this together. In the end they decide not to run it because it reads more as the telling of a love affair between a large man in a Harley Davidson shirt and a smaller man with 'tight buns'. https:...

Mornings With Jamie & Doug wasn't a big hit anyway but with the emergence of The Howard Stern Show, Doug Simpson moved the duo to evenings and ratings steadied for some time. Sadly, and to the shock of the two hosts, they were soon moved to overnights to accommodate an advise show specifically geared to single fathers of teenage daughters. Fed up after not getting their spot back when that sho...

Business is good at Jamie's Fruit and Sawdust delivery company. So good that her top deliveryman, Doug can't even finish his route each day without enlisting the help of strangers to deliver the product for him. Thankfully for them both, Los Angeles is full of the most trustworthy citizens on the planet. https://www.goodtimesgreatmovies.com Twitter: https://twitter.com/GTGMcast Facebook: https://w...

While the kingdom has some very liberal policies, a Princess marrying a woods-boy isn't one of them and the king casts Jack out beyond the castle walls. While Lily is devastated, Doug sees this as an opportunity to move in and decides to stop cutting his hair, bathing and wearing pants as he finally sees just what she's into. At this same time, an awakening occurs in Jamie after seeing Jack and sh...
