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!

We had a blast unpacking the absurdity, heart, and hilarity of this modern Christmas classic. From Buddy the Elf’s sugary antics to the movie’s clever nods to nostalgic Christmas tales, there was so much to discuss.
If you’re looking for a deep dive into one of the most quotable, feel-good holiday movies of all time—or just need an excuse to watch Will Ferrell down a two-liter bottle of Coke—this episode is for you.
