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!

Your Name - … My Name, and a Whole Lot of Tears
In this episode of Almost Classic Movies, we dive into the 2016 anime phenomenon, Your Name (Kimi no Na wa), a film that masterfully blends romance, time travel, and stunning animation. Join us as we unpack the heart-wrenching story of Taki and Mitsuha—two teenagers who mysteriously swap bodies and form an unbreakable connection despite being separated by time.
From deep discussions on fate and connection to lighthearted moments about montages (do we love them or hate them?), we cover everything from the film’s mind-bending time mechanics to its breathtaking visuals. We also break down the movie’s themes, emotional highs and lows, and how it became one of the highest-grossing anime films of all time.
And yes, we finally answer the question: What’s your name?
We appreciate all the love and support! Keep sharing, downloading, and engaging with us. You all crushed it last month, and we’re excited for more!
