    Episode 25: Harry and the Hendersons

    Harry and the Hendersons (1987) – Bigfoot, Beer, and Unexpected Feels What happens when a suburban family accidentally adopts Bigfoot? This week on The Regular Guy Movie Show, we head into the Pacific Northwest to revisit Harry and the Hendersons—a movie that somehow blends slapstick comedy, creature feature, and heartfelt family drama into one very hairy package. We break down the film’s surprisingly strong emotional core, the evolution of the Henderson family, and why Harry works so well as a character. We also dig into John Lithgow’s full-tilt performance, the legendary creature design, and a few moments that didn’t age quite as gracefully. Along the way, we play a round of Bigfoot or Bullst**, debate some tough Pick Your Poison matchups, and hand out this week’s Boddicker Award. In This Episode  Does Harry and the Hendersons still hold up?  Why Harry is more than just “a guy in a suit”  The movie’s strongest emotional moments  What we’d fix with a magic wand  A few scenes that maybe… didn’t age so well Bigfoot or Bullst – Case File Edition** Pick Your Poison: Harry vs. the world This week’s Boddicker Award winnerListen to The Regular Guy Movie Show wherever you get your podcasts, and visit regularguymovieshow.com to suggest the next questionable classic we take on.

    Episode 24: Twins

    On this episode of The Regular Guy Movie Show, we’re diving into one of the most baffling comedies of the 80s… Twins. Somewhere in a top-secret lab, scientists attempted to engineer the perfect human being… and somehow ended up with Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito as twins. One got all the good traits. The other got… everything else. We break down Arnold’s surprisingly strong comedic debut, DeVito absolutely stealing the show, and whether the movie around them actually holds up. Along the way, we question the plot, shrug at the romance, and try to figure out what movie the villain thinks he’s in. Does Twins hold up? Or is this one best enjoyed a few beers deep? In This Episode: Arnold Schwarzenegger’s first real swing at comedyDanny DeVito doing Danny DeVito things (and carrying the movie)A plot that… technically existsThe most unnecessary villain in 80s comedy historyMind the Gap: our new height-based game segmentFinal verdict: does it hold up?Beer Talk: What we’re drinking during the episode Join the Conversation: What did you think of Twins?

    Episode 22: Liar Liar

    Liar Liar (1997) – Truth, Chaos, and Federal Offenses On this episode of The Regular Guy Movie Show, we revisit Liar Liar (1997) — the high-concept courtroom comedy that asks one simple question: What happens when a lawyer who lies for a living suddenly loses the ability to lie? Starring Jim Carrey at peak late-90s volume, Liar Liar blends slapstick, sentiment, and escalating chaos into one very eventful 24-hour stretch. For some, it’s a comedy classic. For others… it hits a little differently on rewatch. In this episode, we break down: Whether Fletcher’s real flaw is dishonesty… or selfishnessThe difference between honesty and crueltyThe tonal whiplash of that airport runway finaleThe legal consequences Fletcher absolutely would’ve faced in real lifeAnd whether redemption can (or should) happen in a single afternoonWe also play a brand-new game:  Two Truths and a Liar Liar — testing our knowledge of the cast with some deep-cut trivia.

    Episode 21: The 'Burbs

    On this episode of The Regular Guy Movie Show, we crack open the blinds, peer suspiciously at the neighbors, and take a staycation straight into suburban paranoia with The 'Burbs. What starts as a quiet week off work quickly devolves into trash-can surveillance, backyard digging, wildly confident assumptions, and one of the most chaotic neighbors in movie history. Along the way, we revisit peak comedic Tom Hanks, Joe Dante’s tongue-in-cheek direction, a score that goes harder than it needs to, and a cast fully committed to escalating bad ideas. We talk plot, performances, absurdity, wardrobe crimes, and why this movie somehow hits harder when you’re a dad living in a subdivision than it ever did as a kid. And yes… we crown a Boddicker nominee. 🍺 On the Tap This Episode Beer scores are handed outViewing enjoyment is scientifically calibratedConsensus reached: everything is better after a few beers!🧠 Fun & Games We play THINK FAST, DRINK LATER, a high-pressure naming game designed to expose who panics first when the clock starts ticking.
