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!

Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me
Welcome back to Almost Classic Movies, where Jern and Dern dive into groovy throwbacks, questionable fashion choices, and highly quotable comedy gold. This week: Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me.
In this episode:
- Austin loses his “mojo” (yes, it’s a real plot point), teams up with CIA agent Felicity, and battles a familiar cast of over-the-top villains, including the now-iconic Mini-Me.
- The hosts compare this sequel to the original, debate whether it leans too hard on certain types of humor, and explore the surprisingly heartfelt growth in Austin’s character.
- Jern shares what it was like to watch the movie with a first-timer. Dern nerds out over editing tricks and 60s TV callbacks.
- Plus: trivia on international censorship, Heather Graham’s almost-different career path, and a not-so-serious theory involving Austin Powers and the Marvel multiverse.
