We revisit the movie that brought the Muppets out of the television studio and into the real world, marvel at the practical ingenuity that somehow made frogs ride bicycles and bears drive cars, and talk about why the movie’s combination of dry humor, slapstick insanity, fourth-wall breaking, and genuine sincerity still works nearly five decades later...at least for two of us.

    Episode 29: Major League

    Major League (1989) Just a bit outside... This week, the guys head to Cleveland to revisit one of the most quotable sports comedies ever made: Major League. When a new owner assembles a roster of misfits, has-beens, and never-weres in hopes of tanking the season and moving the team to Miami, she accidentally creates one of cinema's greatest underdog stories. We break down the movie's unforgettable cast of characters, debate whether it's really a baseball movie or just a workplace comedy in cleats. Along the way, we talk about the film's legacy, its endlessly quotable dialogue, and a few aspects that haven't aged quite as gracefully. Plus, we build the most ridiculous baseball roster imaginable using characters from every movie we've covered on the show. The results are... something.

    Episode 28: The Outsiders

    The Outsiders (1983) | Stay Gold...or Overrated? One of the most celebrated coming-of-age movies of all time. One of the most stacked casts in Hollywood history. One very unexpected consensus. This week, the guys revisit The Outsiders, Francis Ford Coppola's adaptation of S.E. Hinton's beloved novel featuring future stars Patrick Swayze, Tom Cruise, Rob Lowe, Matt Dillon, Ralph Macchio, Emilio Estevez, Diane Lane, C. Thomas Howell, and more. The problem? It just didn't work for us. Join us as we break down what we thought missed the mark, from rushed character development and over-the-top melodrama to questionable plot decisions and a soundtrack that somehow forgot it was an 80s movie. Along the way we discuss:  🎭 Whether the performances still hold up  🚬 Why Dally became one of our least favorite characters  🌅 If the emotional moments still land over 40 years later  🎵 The baffling absence of an iconic 80s soundtrack  🎬 Francis Ford Coppola's decision to adapt S.E. Hinton's novel  ⭐ The unbelievable cast...and the even crazier list of actors who auditioned We also debut a brand-new game, Six DeGreasers of Kevin Bacon, connecting this legendary cast to Kevin Bacon in six degrees or less, hand out our Boddicker Award, make some tough Pick Your Poison choices, and reveal our final beer ratings.

    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? Did it hold up for you? And most importantly… who’s your Boddicker winner? Hit us up on social and let us know.
