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!

Spirited Away: A Magical Trip with a Side of Trauma
In this episode of Almost Classic Movies, we take a deep dive into Spirited Away, Studio Ghibli’s iconic masterpiece that defined anime for generations. We explore the enchanting yet unsettling world of the bathhouse, where 10-year-old Chihiro must navigate spirits, witches, and a giant baby to save her pig-ified parents.
From bizarre creatures to deep cultural symbolism, we unpack everything that makes this film an unforgettable experience. Does Spirited Away live up to its legendary status? Or is it a fever dream that’s better left in the past? We give our honest takes on this classic and discuss whether it still holds up today.
