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!

Bonus Episode: Movie Q&A, Comfort Flicks, and Hot Takes
In this bonus episode of Almost Classic Movies, Jon and Donald step away from their usual film deep dives for a candid Q&A mailbag session. From favorite comfort movies to hot takes on overrated films, this episode is packed with laughter, nostalgia, and some surprisingly heartfelt movie memories.
What You’ll Hear in This Episode:
- 🎥 All-time favorite films — why Casablanca and Ferris Bueller’s Day Off top the list.

- 👻 Scariest movie experiences — from Poltergeist to The Strangers (and even Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island).
- 🎟️ First movie theater memories — from Babe: Pig in the City to Pokémon: The First Movie.
- 🔥 Spicy hot takes — Is Ferris Bueller overrated? Is It’s a Wonderful Life actually depressing? Are 3-hour movies cinematic art or self-indulgent?
- 🤔 Actors we can’t stand (despite their popularity).
- 🏆 Oscar winners we didn’t agree with — and why.
- 🎶 Soundtracks vs. movies — when the music outshines the film.
