So, does it make you randy baby? Does it? Does it hold up?

Does Airplane! hold up?

July 2nd 1980, one of the most iconic, satirical, spoofy, parody movies ever made hits the big screen. Airplane! is a movie ("What's that?" "It's a serious of moving images, but that's not important right now.") that everyone knows the lines from, has seen clips from, and remembers fondly. Surely, Leslie Nielsen has his most famous role in this movie. Yes he does, and don't call me Shirley. There are jokes flying a mile a minute in this wacky comedy based entirely on the 1957 film Zero Hour, but there's no way these jokes still work in 2023. That's what we are here to find out, does Airplane! hold up?

Does Mortal Kombat (1995) hold up?

August 18 1995, FIGHT! FINISH HIM! FLAWLESS VICTORY! The infamous phrases fans of the video games could only dream of hearing on the big screen until Paul WS Anderson came along and gave us the movie adaption of the beloved game. Everyone wonders why a good movie has never been made based on a video game, but maybe we already had it. Join us on a journey from Earth to the NetherRealm to Outworld to fight in Mortal Kombat and try to save the world as we know it. Or at least join us as we talk all about this 28 year old movie. Was the game too violent? Was the movie faithful to the source material? But all we really want to know is, Does it Hold Up?

Does Batman Forever hold up?

This is a long episode because we welcome a special guest, our close friend Matty from the No Nerds Were Harmed podcast. One of the biggest Batman fans I know so we needed his opinion on one of the most divisive Batman movies of all time. 
June 16, 1995 Val Kilmer dons the Batsuit for the first and only time in his career. His Batman takes on Robin as his partner, falls for Chase Meridian, outsmarts Two Face, and matches wits with The Riddler. Chris O'Donnell, Nicole Kidman, Tommy Lee Jones, and Jim Carrey respectively. Joel Schumacher takes over as director, after Tim Burton leaves the project, and gives us a brand new Gotham and a brand new Caped Crusader. This was the top grossing movie for 1995, but has been dragged through the dirt in the years since. 
Does this movie deserve the vitriol and hatred it receives? Does it deserve the love that others pour upon it? We aren't here to decide if it deserves love or hate, but we are here to answer the question; Does It Hold Up?
If you liked what Matty had to say, click the following links to check out his two podcasts. We are a big fan of both and hopefully you will be too.

Does Casablanca hold up?

November 26, 1942 Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman wow us at the theater as Rick and Ilsa. Casablanca is the last stop for many seeking freedom and for most they pace through Rick's. The fine establishment where some underhanded things happen. Victor Laszlo is one of the most recent people to come to Rick's and with that comes a world of problems. We had the privilege of seeing this in theaters on the big screen. This Oscar winning film has long been considered one of the greatest pieces of cinema in history. But does it hold up?
