No, your eyes aren't deceiving you. This really IS a brand new episode of the Remember When show, and our third consecutive show in as many weeks!
It's a Gangster's Paradise in Episode 30, as we pull double duty in this week's segment of "Great Movies Jay Has Never Seen". Our first feature film is Johnny Dangerously, the 1984 gangster movie spoof starring Michael Keaton and Joe Piscopo. Written by the same scribe that brought us Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Look Who's Talking, and Night at the Roxbury, Johnny Dangerously is a farging awesome comedy in Parris' mind. But will Jay find an appreciation for a comedy that's over a quarter of a century old?
Then we dive into our second film of the week, Goodfellas. Recognized by the AFI as one of the greatest movies of all time, Jay braces himself for a 2 hour journey into one of his least favorite genres of film while Parris braces himself for Jay's feedback on the movie.
We also take a look back at this past week's episode of LOST. "Lighthouse" deals with the journey of two characters as they race to save the island, but that's the only real fast-paced action we see in this week's episode. Parris compares the show's sixth season to the Sopranos finale, we talk about our misgivings with the Sideways Universe, and discuss our most feared potential ending for the show.
We also talk a bit about Ricky Gervais' comedy brilliance, and Parris needs the paramedics after Jay surprises him with some unexpected news.

Two episodes in one week? No, you're not hallucinating. After a mere seven days since our last release, we're proud to bring you Episode 29 of Remember When!
We kick off the show with the latest in Great Movies Jay Has Never Seen. John Carpenter's "The Thing" is a cult classic, and one of the best performances that Kurt Russell has ever turned in over the course of his career. But between the blood and guts and the Wilford Brimley appearance, will Jay be able to find his moment of sci-fi / horror zen?
Then we move into current events with a recap of this week's episode of LOST. As the final season continues with "What Kate Does", we lament what this episode didn't do, talk about where our frustrations lie, and continue to offer our predictions for how the series will end.
We even have a full 20 minute segment of tangents at the end. What good would our show be without them?

It's Super Bowl Sunday, and regardless of who you're rooting for, we can all agree that a new episode of Remember When is just what the Doctor ordered! So kick off your day with Episode 28, and enjoy a fresh episode of movie geek goodness!
Our show starts off with a look back at a classic adventure movie from the 80's, The Goonies. Starring Sean Astin, Josh Brolin, and Corey Feldman, this classic piece of cinema from Richard Donner is our first discussion. We talk about what we loved about the movie when we were kids, how well the movie's aged over time, and whether or not it's still relevant in today's society.
Then we jump into Heat. This bank heist drama from Michael Mann is the latest entry in Great Movies Jay Has Never Seen. Not so much a movie as a long-term cinematic commitment, Heat features an all star ensemble cast, an incredible shoot out sequence, and Val Kilmer with a mullet. But with a three hour run time, Jay's willingness to invest is put to the test, and after the first hour, his brain shuts off.
Finally, we discuss the long-awaited, greatly anticipated return of LOST. The season premiere whetted our appetites for more Island goodness, and we talk about temporal mechanics, alternate dimensions, and parallel coincidences. Oh, and butt-nekkid Juliet, as well.

It's 2010, so put aside whatever you're doing and resolve to listen to a brand new episode of Remember When! Our subtitle for this episode is "Great stuff Parris has never seen"
Episode 27 kicks off with our the discussion on The Abyss. James Cameron's big budget release from 1989 was high tech at the time, but it turns out that Parris has never seen it! We take a look back at the film, which featured revolutionary special effects at the time of its release, plus a cast featuring such notable talents as Ed Harris and Michael Biehn. Does this undersea adventure hold up over time? Will a two decade span have killed the impact of this movie? Listen in and find out.
Then we move on to Cameron's latest hit, Avatar. With a billion dollars under its belt, critical and public acclaim, and the beginning of a new era for 3-D, we stop and ask... is this any good? Does the movie hold up under scrutiny?
We cap off the show with yet another piece of pop culture Parris has never seen. After months of suggesting it, Big P sat down and watched the introductory episode to the legendary British show, Doctor Who. The Angels have the Blue Box, and Parris has a lot to say about this time travel extravaganza.

If you're a listener to Remember When, you probably know that it's been WAY too long since we recorded an episode. But today, we're getting the band back together. The new episode of Remember When will be recording this afternoon!
And as a special treat, if you want to listen in during the recording, we'll be offering a Ustream of the show at 2pm Pacific.
As the turkey brings your body to a sleepy conclusion on Thanksgiving, why not relax and unwind with the latest episode of Remember When?
Our Arnold Schwarzenegger series continues in Episode 26, as we sit down and reminisce about The Running Man. The Governator goes head to head against the ultimate pimp of game shows, giving us one of the cheesiest pieces of 80's film you could ever imagine.
Next, Jay takes a look at Predator, another fine piece of cinema he's never been exposed to before. Two governors go head to head against an extraterrestrial poacher that leaves a stream of bodies in its wake. A veritable cult classic, Jay looks on with fresh eyes at one of the more notable Arnie movies. Will he enjoy it in the spirit it's offered, or declare that its expiration date has long past?
Then we tangent off as Parris takes a look back on a recent movie, giving it a renewed opinion now that he's taken away a home viewing. The resulting conversation nearly has Jay falling over in shock. During this segment, you might hear us discussing a piece of reading material, which you can find at this link.
And speaking of tangents, we end the show with yet another "brief" spoiler-rich discussion of the fall TV season, talking about Parris' new favorite comedy, Jay's critical disappointments, and counting down to the return of an old favorite.

IT'S NOT A TUMAH! And no, this isn't some sort of alternate reality crafted from your deepest desires. A new episode of Remember When is actually queued up and ready for you to download. Do it! Do it now!
Episode 25 brings you the first half of our Arnold Schwarzenegger bonanza. We take a look back on the Governator's film history, reminisce fondly about some of his greatest film moments, and laugh hysterically at some of his less than stellar moments.
It all starts with Conan The Barbarian, one of Arnold's early performances. It's the latest in the line of Great Movies Jay Has Never Seen, but as the film creeps up on its 30 year anniversary, will it stand the test of time? Will the 80's cheese fest and excessive use of loin cloths make Jay turn up his nose in disgust, or will Parris see another victory over one of his beloved pieces of film history? Find out in this week's show.
We also look back at one of the truly quintessential pieces of Arnold movies, as well as one of the best sci-fi movies of all time. Total Recall gets torn apart, rebuilt, and then torn apart again. Once it's said and done, we wipe its memory and throw it into a Johnny Cab.
And with the launch of "V" on ABC, we take a few minutes to talk about the newly re-imagined series. Can 25 years and a multi-million dollar budget per episode make up for Marc Singer's absence? Does Elizabeth Mitchell have what it takes to play a lead in a series? And most importantly, will the show's production hiatus play in its favor? Listen in and find out.

After a brief and unintentional break in our regularly scheduled program, Remember When is back in style!
We kick off the show by commemorating the passing of one of the more notable actors from the 80's, Patrick Swayze. Sure, he's not a "classical" actor, but he was certainly a fixture in movies during the decade of punk rock and Members Only jackets. We start by talking about one of his campier and more memorable films, Red Dawn, and then move into Point Break, the latest entry in Great Movies Jay Has Never Seen.
Quentin Tarantino's latest cinema opus, Inglorious Basterds, serves as Act Two. Parris and Jay have both seen it, but is it any good? And will Jay be able to appreciate a Tarantino film for once? Listen in and find out.
Finally, we cap off the show with a look at what we're watching in the Fall TV season (and what you should be watching, too). A long-awaited wedding left us impressed, a troupe of kids in high school singing about their woes held surprises for us, and a mockumentary focusing on three different families reminds us that sitcoms aren't dead.
Spoiler alert: We both agree that The Cleveland Show is a tragedy.

After a long delay, we are back with episode 23 of Remember When!
Join Parris and Jay as we discuss the two latest movies Jay hasn't seen to finish up our John Landis discussion: Animal House and An American Werewolf in London.
Also this week we discuss District 9, the Avatar trailer and what went wrong with the summer movies of 2009?
And finally Jay hits Parris with news so big that it will change the face of Remember When forever!

If you're tired of the summer blues, Remember When has the cure for what ails you. We are proud to present Episode 22, where we give you the first part of our John Landis experience.
We kick off the show with the latest of Great Movies Jay Has Never Seen. Our selection this week is Trading Places, a perennial favorite from the 80's starring Dan Aykroyd and Eddie Murphy. Does this comedy still stand up over two decades later? And even more important, is Jay going to be able to appreciate it after all this time? Listen in and find out.
The discussion shifts over into Coming To America during the last half of the show. In the same universe as Trading Places, we talk about why this Eddie Murphy film is not only one of the best comedies to come out of the 1980's, but why it's quite possibly his best work ever in live action film.
All this, and tangents galore, are waiting for you in our newest episode.

Remember When is back, and this week's episode is more than meets the eye.
Our twenty first episode focuses on the recent Transformers movies from Michael Bay. A childhood staple for both of us, we take a look at the movies which tread upon the hallowed memories of our youth, a cherished era when two children would stare wide eyed at one of the most brilliant marketing efforts ever. We have a lot to talk about here, with both live action movies coming under intense scrutiny.
We also talk about Fast Times at Ridgemont High, the latest in the list of Great Movies Jay Has Never Seen. Will this quintessential high school film of the 80's stand the test of time, or will the passage of time treat it poorly? Listen in and find out.

And so we come to the final stop in our Matrix saga. After weeks of waiting in limbo, due to our hectic scheduling issues, we sit down and rip apart The Matrix Revolutions, a movie that's certainly ripe for the picking. We're focusing the entire episode on the final film in the Wachowski Brothers series... and boy, do we give it a tongue lashing.
We talk about the many missed opportunities in the script, the inconsistencies within the story, the plot holes big enough to drive the Nebercanezer through, and the terrible, terrible, terrible dialog. And that's just what happens in the first 10 minute of the podcast. For a movie like Revolutions, we offer no quarter, even if we do have a few guilty pleasures moments.
Fans of the show, you'll be pleased to hear some of our announcements at the end of this episode. We cover the topics for our next episode (including the return of Great Movies Jay Has Never Seen) and a surprise related to our new release schedule for the show.
