A new season means a new franchise of the year, and that year is 2122. Welcome aboard the Nostromo where the boys of the Just Play It podcast run, hide, and fight for their lives watching a cinematic classic, Alien. We explain the origins of the movie, how it came to be made, and discuss how much this movie holds up. Get ready to grab your flamethrower and crack some eggs because Nick and James are back for Year 4.

We've primed ourselves for this moment. Corndogs have been dipped, the kernels have been popped, the game has been preee'd. The epic stage is set for Just Play It to announce the winners for the 3rd annual Poppys & Cornys, to crown the biggest piece of crap fictional character, and to decide who is coming out on top of the 2nd annual cinematic crossover of characters combat tournament - the CINEDOME. Let's freaking go.

The third movie in the Wrap Party Trilogy is here! We welcome you to our end of the year bash where we get to pregame before the finale with the ultimate quiz gauntlet, high stakes prizes, the annual logline AI image generator, and of course the Best Weapon and Best Fighter Tier Lists from all the movies we watched in the year 2025. A good old fashioned pregame is the only way to get ready for what comes next...

Christmas has come early! We have quite the gift for you. Two gifts to be exact! First off, we watched our very first Hallmark Christmas movie, and by golly, what is there to say? No seriously! We're at a loss for words. To make up for these loss of words, we decided to treat you to a double duty episode where we get a head start on our end of the year wrap party. We discuss our final rerankings of movies, reflect on the films we watched for the year of 2025, and decide who belongs in the 3rd annual P.O.S. bracket. But first, we must discuss the absolute-not-cinema of, Coyote Creek Christmas.

Great Scott! It's the end of the road Marty! Or I thought we didn't need roads... wait a minute, we're on a train track! Heading straight towards the end of season 3, with our franchise of the year. Doc and Marty are very much back, but this time in cowboy hats and Nee-Kays. Cap'n Pop and The Corndog watch the finale to the Back to the Future franchise and they discuss if it sticks the landing or if it's a fiery train crashing into the Eastwood Ravine.

P.S. - This movie's Easter Eggs went crazy, and as a tip of the hat, we have an Easter Egg ourselves for this one because lightning strikes precisely 40 years later on the Just play It Podcast. This episode dropped November 12, 2025 at 10:04pm (Hill Valley Time, of course).

Just Play It lives out the dream going trick or treating on Elm Street, but little did we know, we got a burn victim running around in an ugly Christmas sweater! Nick & James join an angry mob of gasoline toting parents and head straight to the boiler room for this one. We watched for the first time Wes Craven's 'A Nightmare on Elm Street'. We share thoughts, reactions, reveal inspirations for the movie and go behind the scenes of how movie magic brought Freddy Krueger to your nightmares. It's the finale of POPTOBER. Happy Halloween!

Have we seen this movie? Nope! But did we like it? Yup! The Just Play It crew avoid eye contact with a hungry-hungry UAP in this genre morphing horror-western! The ghoulish fool and the spookie dookie take a wild trip to the Burbank Fry's Electronics to check out Jordan Peele's blockbuster movie, Nope. We get into the details of this film that make it so cool. We can't tell what would be scarier, the Star Lasso Experience or missing out on this spooky episode.

James & Nick 'trick or trick' in the wrong neighborhood. This one being Santa Carla, the murder capital of the world. But weirdly enough it looks like the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk (BOARDWALK!). The JPI boys vamp it up this week jumping off a foggy bridge into a first watch of The Lost Boys.
