| Wonder Man Might Be What Marvel Needed... | Review + Wheel Spin | 14 Feb 2026 | 00:55:21 | |
In this episode of BJ in the Morning, we dive headfirst into Marvel’s newest Disney+ series, Wonder Man. Is this the sleeper hit of the MCU? A bold new direction? Or another “we’ll fix it in post” superhero experiment? We break down everything:
As always, we bring the sarcasm, the friendly roasts, and the brutally honest takes you expect from two guys who probably should’ve seen everything by now. And then… we let fate decide. At the end of the episode, we spin the wheel to determine the next year we’ll revisit in movies, continuing our deep dive into films from the last 30+ years that we either missed completely or haven’t revisited in decades. What year will destiny (and mild chaos) pick for us next? 1998? 2007? 2014? You’ll have to watch to find out. If you love Marvel breakdowns, movie nostalgia, comedic film reviews, and two long-time friends arguing about pop culture like it’s a competitive sport you’re in the right place.

| A Few Good Men (1992) - Nostalgia Check | 07 Feb 2026 | 00:43:38 | |
We’re closing out 1992 the only way that makes sense… by finally watching A Few Good Men. In this episode of Nostalgia Check presented by BJ in the Morning, we admit our sins: somehow, someway, this iconic courtroom drama completely slipped past us. So we fixed that. And yes, you can’t handle the truth was said. A lot. We break down why we hadn’t seen A Few Good Men before, then dive into the movie’s all-star cast and production crew, including Tom Cruise, Jack Nicholson, Demi Moore, Rob Reiner, and Aaron Sorkin’s razor-sharp script. We cover box office numbers, how the film performed on release, and where it now lands with critics and audiences using IMDb and Letterboxd reviews. From there, we walk through the plot, unpack our favorite moments, debate what still works (and what feels VERY 1992), and quote the absolute hell out of it. Courtroom monologues, iconic lines, and scenes that somehow live in pop culture even if you’ve never seen the movie — until now. If you love movie rewatches, first-time reactions, 90s films, or yelling movie quotes at your friends, this episode is for you. Nostalgia Check - Checking our film history, so you won't.

| Why Disney Keeps Remaking Classics (and Why We’re Tired of It) ft. Kevin from Miserable Hair People | 29 Nov 2025 | 01:17:57 | |
Disney is deep in its live-action remake era, and honestly… we’re exhausted. In this episode, we dive into why Disney keeps recreating its animated classics, which ones actually work, which ones feel totally pointless, and why most of them miss the magic of the originals. We talk about the hits like Cinderella and Cruella, the “just okay” ones like Aladdin and The Jungle Book, and the absolute “why did they do this” tier like The Lion King, Mulan, and The Little Mermaid. We also talk about nostalgia, corporate strategy, fan expectations, and how Hollywood keeps using familiar IP as a safety net — even when the remakes add nothing new. And of course, we go all in on the one we’re truly dreading: the upcoming Moana live-action remake. It’s too soon, unnecessary, and makes us wonder if Disney has run out of ideas entirely. If you’re tired of Disney repainting its own classics and calling it innovation, this episode is for you.

| Hollywood’s Nostalgia Problem: The Best & Worst Legacy Sequels | 19 Nov 2025 | 00:50:31 | |
In this episode of BJ in the Morning, we dive deep into the world of legacy sequels — the ones that landed, the ones that flopped, and the ones that probably should’ve stayed unmade. We break down how nostalgia fuels the Hollywood machine, why studios keep returning to old IPs, and what happens when filmmakers try to recapture lightning in a bottle decades later. From long-awaited continuations to questionable cash-grabs, we look at what makes a great legacy sequel actually work, and why some completely miss the mark. We also talk about how fan expectations, brand loyalty, and the rise of “nostalgia-first” filmmaking have changed the way movies get made. If you love discussions about modern franchise filmmaking, reboot culture, and the state of Hollywood creativity, this episode has it all.
