Episode 27: Secondhand Lions

On this episode of The Regular Guy Movie Show, we're heading deep into Texas for a look at the 2003 family adventure-drama Secondhand Lions. Join Seth, Justin, and Brian as they revisit the story of young Walter Caldwell, who is sent to spend the summer with his eccentric great-uncles Hub and Garth McCann. What starts as a reluctant visit quickly turns into a tale filled with hidden fortunes, lion attacks, traveling salesmen, mysterious pasts, and enough porch wisdom to last a lifetime. Along the way, we discuss: * Whether the movie's blend of adventure, comedy, and heartfelt life lessons still works today * The fantastic performances from Robert Duvall and Michael Caine * The truth (or possible fiction) behind Hub and Garth's legendary adventures * The scene we'd change with our Magic Wand * Our picks for the League of Extraordinary Old Cranks * And, of course, our Boddicker Award winner Does Secondhand Lions hold up more than two decades later? Or is it one of those movies that hits differently depending on where you are in life? Pour yourself a drink, pull up a rocking chair, and join us as we find out.

Harry and the Hendersons (1987) – Bigfoot, Beer, and Unexpected Feels What happens when a suburban family accidentally adopts Bigfoot?

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 comedy * Danny DeVito doing Danny DeVito things (and carrying the movie) * A plot that… technically exists * The most unnecessary villain in 80s comedy history * Mind the Gap: our new height-based game segment * Final verdict: does it hold up?
