Almost Classic Movies
Welcome to Almost Classic Movies, the podcast where two movie fans talk about movies. From epic adventures like Lord of the Rings to iconic comedies like Wayne's World and Ferris Bueller's Day Off, we explore a blend of almost classics, cult favorites, seasonal gems, and even actual classics. ("Almost Classic Movies" is frankly just a catchy title that riffs off a particular TV program).
It's just two friends talking movies—one loves production trivia, while the other enjoys simply watching and soaking in the story. We strive for evergreen content, so you can pick an episode anywhere and dive right in. If you like what you hear, share it with a friend, family member, or maybe even Chris Hemsworth or Ryan Reynolds... That'd be pretty cool.
Thanks for listening!

Blade Runner: Exploring its Humanity, AI, and Philosophy
Welcome back to Almost Classic Movies! This week, we tackle one of the biggest names in sci-fi history: Ridley Scott’s Blade Runner (1982), specifically the Final Cut. We break down the movie’s heavy philosophical questions, insane visuals, and that iconic “tears in rain” moment. Is Deckard a replicant? What does it mean to be human? And why does the dove not fly? We’re diving into all that and more in this jam-packed episode.
