It's that time again to wake up from your cryo-sleep and... OH MY GOD! What the heck happened here? Where are my fellow Aliens cast-mates? What is going on?!?! Holy mother of a queen xenomorph, this is bad. Welp, time to buzz the hair and get back into some dark hallways, because here we go again....AGAIN. The Just Play It pod crashes onto Fiorina 161 to figure out just what is going on with the state of the Alien franchise after it fell to then new director, now goat - David Fincher. Surely, this will finally be the end of the xenomorph problem, right?

What would you do... if you had the power of a young Denise Richards & Paul Walker, mixed in with some raunchy humor, B-movie horror gore, a robotic dinosaur on loan and a lion? Well with a short production window, you too could harness the magic of the 1990s B-movie wonder known as Tammy and the T-Rex, or Tanny and the Teenage T-Rex. It's an absolute master class in cinematic unpredictability and WTF-ness. From the director of Mac and Me, comes a family friendly teen romance about a girl named Tammy, or Tanny..., who has a possessive NOT-boyfriend named Billy, who is in love with a better boy named Michael, who turns out, gets his brain transplanted into an animatronic Tyrannosaurus Rex. Who would have thought! You will never know what the next scene holds in this truly unhinged film.

Star Wars week comes a bit later this year courtesy of the first theatrical Star Wars movie to be released in 7 years. The Mandalorian and Grogu meet The Corn Dog and Cap'n Pop. Just Play It has a bounty on the Jon Favreau & Dave Filoni family fun adventure film so Nick and James bump the sickest Shakari synth track in the Razor Crest on the way to the theaters. We discuss the discourse amongst the fans, what is great about this movie, and what we think they could've done differently. Make room for a yolked out Hutt, a surprise guest, and a pit crew of Anzellans, because this is way.

The students become the masters in this one. James and Nick use the cosmic key to rift into 1987 to check out what was going on in the universe of Cannon Films. What they found was 80s movie gold in the form of oiled up muscles, convenient plot devices, and a furry little fella named Gwildor. Just Play It gives Masters of the Universe (1987) a first watch and review. The only thing we have left to ask is, are you He-Man enough to come along?

The Boys of JPI meet the Boyz of the Hood in this one. We do a first watch, a thorough review, and a complete breakdown of John Singleton's breakout Oscar nominated film, Boyz N The Hood. From a non-negotiable director fresh out of college, to real life gang related danger, to insane true story side character side quests, we discuss it all in this episode. An impossible feat resulted in one of Hollywood's most important milestones in cinema history.

We bust out our pens and start journaling our inner monologues as we watch a Gen Z childhood classic, Diary of a Wimpy Kid. It's Just Play It's first watch of this coming of age comedy and we ask the questions: What the heck is Greg's problem? Why is Rowley such a GOATed friend? And when is Loded Diper's next gig? Get your weed whacker ready and throw on your serape, because it's about to get nutty... or better yet, cheesy.
