So, What‘s the Problem?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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...

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...

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.

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.

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? They go over what they like, what they didn't like, the cast, plot holes and discuss what they want from a 7th movie. We'll be back to our normal show next week with Howard the Duck (1986). Contains spoilers for the Scream franchise (although, why would you start...

Hooo, boy, here we go... Contains strong language.

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.

Jimmy and Jen stay in 1993 this week with an often forgotten thriller co-written by one of Jen's favourite writers. They talk about the movie's actors, its twists, its plot holes and answer the age old question... would you let someone cut your finger off for $1 million? Contains strong language and adult themes.

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.

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?

Welcome to 2023! Jimmy and Jen return with this childhood favourite of the former's that the latter just watched for the first time. They talk about the movie, obviously, the soundtrack, Sly Stallone and Jimmy tells Jen about a project he did at college related to this movie. Kind of. Contains strong language.

It's Christmas, so you know what that means, right? Sequel time!!! Two years after our podcast of the first movie, just like this movie and the first movie! Also just like our podcast on the first movie, we talk about Donald Trump because, how can we not? Contains strong language.

December's festive movies continue with this little known family comedy that was once a favourite of both of our hosts. Does it hold up? They talk about that, discuss false advertising and Jimmy defends the song "Baby, it's Cold Outside". Contains strong language.

Jimmy's first pick for the festive season is this modern retelling of A Christmas Carol from Richard Donner. Does this childhood favourite hold up for our Scottish host or has he found more things to annoy him this time round? It's Jimmy, so who knows?

Contains strong language.

Taking a break from Thanksgiving movies this year, Jimmy has decided to be patriotic and wants to celebrate St. Andrew's Day with this Scottish classic. Which Jen is watching for the first time. Was she charmed by this teen romantic comedy or was she baffled by the accents? Or both? Or neither? Contains very strong language.

Well... you know this ain't Jimmy's pick but he talks to Jen about it anyway. It's a quick one this week as the pair had very limited time so just as well there isn't really much to talk about anyway. So, they have a discussion about Kevin Smith and Jimmy makes a really bad joke... Contains strong language.

It's November, so lets talk about the Halloween franchise! While Jimmy and Jen take a two week break, enjoy this discussion on the final movie in David Gordon Green's trilogy that's also the end of a four movie arc and the latest movie in the Halloween franchise. They also spoil some of the Friday the 13th franchise and one of them decides if they actually like this movie or not, by episode's end....
