On this episode of The Regular Guy Movie Show, we're heading deep into Texas for a look at the 2003 family adventure-drama Secondhand Lions.

Join Seth, Justin, and Brian as they revisit the story of young Walter Caldwell, who is sent to spend the summer with his eccentric great-uncles Hub and Garth McCann. What starts as a reluctant visit quickly turns into a tale filled with hidden fortunes, lion attacks, traveling salesmen, mysterious pasts, and enough porch wisdom to last a lifetime.

Along the way, we discuss:

• Whether the movie's blend of adventure, comedy, and heartfelt life lessons still works today
• The fantastic performances from Robert Duvall and Michael Caine
• The truth (or possible fiction) behind Hub and Garth's legendary adventures
• The scene we'd change with our Magic Wand
• Our picks for the League of Extraordinary Old Cranks
• And, of course, our Boddicker Award winner

Does Secondhand Lions hold up more than two decades later? Or is it one of those movies that hits differently depending on where you are in life?

Pour yourself a drink, pull up a rocking chair, and join us as we find out.

On this episode of The Regular Guy Movie Show, we hit the gas and never let up as we revisit the 1994 action classic Speed.

Join Seth, Justin, and Brian as they break down the movie that turned a city bus into one of the most stressful vehicles in cinematic history. From the legendary “Pop Quiz, Hotshot” moments to the completely unreasonable freeway jump, the guys dive into what makes Speed such a relentless adrenaline rush nearly 30 years later.

Along the way, they discuss:

• Keanu Reeves becoming an action star
• Sandra Bullock’s breakout performance
• Dennis Hopper stealing every scene as Howard Payne
• The practical effects and stunt work that still hold up today
• Why the movie’s simple premise works so incredibly well
• Whether the subway finale goes just a little too far off the rails

Plus:

• A chaotic round of “Pop Quiz, Hotshot”
• Pick Your Poison matchups
• Boddicker Award discussion
• Plenty of laughs, nostalgia, and questionable transportation decisions

So grab a drink, keep it above 50, and come ride shotgun with us.

Harry and the Hendersons (1987) – Bigfoot, Beer, and Unexpected Feels

What happens when a suburban family accidentally adopts Bigfoot?

This week on The Regular Guy Movie Show, we head into the Pacific Northwest to revisit Harry and the Hendersons—a movie that somehow blends slapstick comedy, creature feature, and heartfelt family drama into one very hairy package.

We break down the film’s surprisingly strong emotional core, the evolution of the Henderson family, and why Harry works so well as a character. We also dig into John Lithgow’s full-tilt performance, the legendary creature design, and a few moments that didn’t age quite as gracefully.

Along the way, we play a round of Bigfoot or Bullst**, debate some tough Pick Your Poison matchups, and hand out this week’s Boddicker Award.

In This Episode

• Does Harry and the Hendersons still hold up?
• Why Harry is more than just “a guy in a suit”
• The movie’s strongest emotional moments
• What we’d fix with a magic wand
• A few scenes that maybe… didn’t age so well
• Bigfoot or Bullst – Case File Edition**
• Pick Your Poison: Harry vs. the world
• This week’s Boddicker Award winner
