5: Drop Dead Fred w/ Scott Peltz

It was always fun when we were younger, to watch movies that your parents didn't realize might not be exactly 'appropriate' for children. Drop Dead Fred was definitely one of them. Our guest, Scott, sits down with his imaginary friends, Mike and Orlando to be silly, enjoy 90's nostalgia, and hit on each other's Moms. Does It Hold Up is a podcast where we--and a guest--revisit cherished movies that we haven't seen in a while. We discuss why we haven't seen them in so long and how we feel about them now. Was it just a phase or do these movies still bring it? This is our discussions before and after watching the movie, as well as some highlights from our watch in between. Check out Part B of this episode if you'd like to watch the movie along with us.

4: Dracula, Dead and Loving It w/ Jon Silver

Comedy titans Mel Brooks and Leslie Nielsen team-up for the first and only time to spoof the literary classic, Dracula. There are gags aplenty for every type of comedy fan: Slapstick. Word play. Bad lighting. Cleavage. Oh, and the accents! What can possibly go wrong when most of the cast of TV's Wings stars in this joke-a-minute masterpiece?! Friend of the show, Jon Silver, takes us on a trip of an afterlife-time to Mel Brooks' last directorial stint so we can answer ... Does it hold up?! Each episode consists of us--and a guest--revisiting cherished movies that we haven't seen in a while. We discuss why we haven't seen them in so long and how we feel about them now. Was it just a phase or do these movies still bring it? This is the pre- and post-discussion.

3: Blue Crush w/ Emily Murawski

In the early 2000's, anything was possible. Jeans could be baggy or tight, bikini tops could be easily paired with board shorts, and women could surf! Well, women have always surfed, but finally we had a summer blockbuster about it! Our guest, Emily, sits down with Mike and Orlando to hang ten together with "Blue Crush". From Director John Stockwell (shrug), this 2003 Kate Bosworth and Michelle Rodriguez vehicle (board?) is a wild ride, chock full of new-millenium-isms and bad ass surfing. Does It Hold Up is a podcast where we--and a guest--revisit cherished movies that we haven't seen in a while. We discuss why we haven't seen them in so long and how we feel about them now. Was it just a phase or do these movies still bring it? This is our discussions before and after watching the movie, as well as some highlights from our watch in between.

2: Garden State w/ James Major

A quintessential, post-9/11 art house film ... 20 years later? Will it hit all of the same buttons it did back then? Will you dust off that Shins CD and play "New Slang" as you stare into the void that is your life? What is existence? Our (first!) guest, James, sits down with Mike and Orlando to dissect Zach Braff's 2004 indie darling, Garden State. Spoiler: lots of MPDG talk. Each episode consists of us--and a guest--revisiting cherished movies that we haven't seen in a while. We discuss why we haven't seen them in so long and how we feel about them now. Was it just a phase or do these movies still bring it.

1: Ace Ventura: Pet Detective

Ace Ventura: Pet Detective is the quintessential "Does it hold up?" film of our generation. Which is why it's the perfect movie for the inaugural episode of ... Does It Hold Up? Comedic masterpiece? Transphobic hate speech? Just straight-up dumb movie? Mike and Orlando dive headfirst back to this 1994 cornerstone of a flick to discuss and see if our memories of this film are really as bad as we think.
