Just Play It

PJ? Goose? Powderpuff? Capn' Pop? The Corndog? That's BMX talk! Which is exactly what we're talking about this week in our latest movie review. Grab your obvious stunt double and bust out some sick tricks with us as we watch an early Nicole Kidman film - BMX Bandits - for the very first time. Thanks for tuning in.

Cap'n Pop & The Corndog jump through a sling ring portal into Marvel's cinematic past with Elektra. The latest entry in our NCU (non-cinematic universe) series where we check out the pre-golden era of comic book movies. This 2005 joint was a critical flop which means this is a job for the Flopbusters. Will Just Play It bust the flop myth or will Elektra's story stab us in the fa...

Bang Bang! A guy named Butch needs the D.A.R.E. program so Nick and James try to see if they can get him some help only to learn that getting in a pink caddy blasting Right Said Fred was a bad idea. They would have been better off in Tupac's limo with the charcuterie spread. Thanks for tuning in. For more, follow us on Instagram & YouTube @justplayitpodcast & X (fka Twitter) @justplay...

Saddle up! Whether it's on a horse, a camel, circus train, or a tank. It doesn't matter because Indy can get you where you need to be.

Nick almost gave up on this movie, but then he doubled down and watched it twice to see if he missed the point the first time, but no. What turned out to be a miserable viewing experience at least turned into one of the most hilarious breakdowns this season. Our "40-40-Offender" of the year is Bill Cosby's Leonard Part 6. It disappointed audiences in 1987 and is still going strong d...

Four girls, two guys, and one pair of pants. These jeans aint big enough for the six of us. Nick and James try this 2005 teen movie on for size to see if one size fits all or if this denim darling can't quite please this pair. Hop in the dressing room for a movie quiz, our review and mini-pop awards for the Ann Brashares adapted novel turned movie. Thanks for tuning in. For more, follow us on...

On the road again, we couldn't wait to get back on Fury Road again. George Miller is back, the Wasteland is back, and we are back with old friends and new to review our first ever in-theaters released movie - Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga.

James & Nick are two brothers in a popcorn pod talking about John Singleton's Four Brothers.

What do you get when a Mad Max type of guy meets the girl from Terminator who steals a Knight Rider looking car in an Escape from New York type of (love?)story? You get Black Moon Rising. Will this movie rise to the occasion or fall short of expectations? The Just Play It boys hit the turbo button and go full YEET to find out just that. Thanks for tuning in. For more, follow us on Instagram &...

Remember Sammy Jankis? Remember when he couldn't remember stuff? Remember when Lenny took a bunch of Polaroids and scribbled down notes? If you don't, you may be entitled to contraband compensation via a stolen Jaguar. We FULLY BREAKDOWN what actually happened in Christopher Nolan's Memento in a mind-bending full review. Strap in, tatt up, and take notes because this movie is not so...

Indy, we love you! However, we'll see about that after a trip through the Temple of Doom. It's the sequel's (or prequel's?) time to shine as we crash land back into our featured franchise of the year. Our complete breakdown and review of Temple is  served along side of the introduction of the Cinematrix movie quiz, our own movie nominations for our end of year award show, and o...

Calling all cupboard fans, do we have the piece for you! Nick & James lock themselves into a '90s childhood favorite and review The Indian in the Cupboard. In addition we cover our Oscars guesses, discuss the how the visual effects of this movie were done, theorize how this magical cupboard actually works & its possible repercussions, and ultimately decide if this movie shines like pl...

It's Oscars week round 2 for Just Play It and besides our 2024 Oscars predictions, boy howdy, do we have a not-so rootin'-tootin' time for ya. What is known as one of the worst Best Pictures of all time, it's only right our wheel of fate landed on the outdated, slightly too long, and not quite politically correct 1931 movie, Cimarron. A movie made in during the Great Depression...

Bet you didn't see this coming, but maybe you sensed it. Daredevil is our first Not-so Cinematic Universe entry of 2024. James and Nick parkour their way through playground scenes and dark alleys to bring this movie to justice. Will we rule this 2000s superhero film guilty for its bad rap? Or will it be vindicated by its underrated  surprises? We dive in, just play DD this week because we are...

Nick & James vine swing into the soft rock wall that is the career saver of Robert Zemeckis. Is this 40 year old movie a hopeless romantic comedy or will this Michael Douglas joint romance the corn? Tune in to find out. Thanks for tuning in. For more, follow us on Instagram & YouTube @justplayitpodcast & X (fka Twitter) @justplayitpod

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. Ron Hubbard novel that's fueled by Scientology and funded by embezzlement. It's a FLOP, it's a BOMB, it's a new low on the JPI podcast as we dive into this "40-40-Offender". Thanks for tuning in. Fo...

Mad Max, Jimmy Crack Corn, & The Corndog himself are at the end of the road with this one.
