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.

IT'S MORBIN' TIME! Time for us to Morb out to the places we will be Morb. Can you you feel it Morbin' in the air tonight? Oh MORB!

Halloween season kicks off here at the Just Play It Podcast and boy howdy it is a banger. To start the great month of October, we watched Morbius and during our first-watch reaction & movie-review breakdown episode, you will witness the very first Hotcorn Challenge. A new spooky season brings us a new pipin' hot tradition which involves crunching down popcorn that has been tossed and sauced with The Last Dab hot sauce by Heatonist, as seen on the hit YouTube show Hot Ones, as we attempt to give our final review. It's spooky szn, it's a NCU episode, and not to sugar coat it, It's Morbin Time.

Steven Seagal is here to blow up the Alaskan landscape with oil, fire, shell casings and explosives. In order to save the environment, you gotta play a little dirty!

After a first watch, we share our reactions and thoughts on the only movie Steven Seagal ever directed.

In this monumental episode, we have our very first GUEST on the podcast. Our special guest for this one is a film industry professional who's been in the business for over 30 years, has worked on dozens of famous movies, and most importantly, worked on this film.

Just Play It watched 3 Fantastic movies so far this year, so why not make it a Fantastic 4th trip to the Baxter Building to round out 2025. This time though, we had to search the corners of the internet to find this hidden, no buried, gem of Roger Corman's unreleased Fantastic Four movie from 1994. Or as the Chief Corndog himself would call it, The Fantastic 199FOUR. We get into the complicated origins of this project, the story on and off the screen, our reactions, our breakdown, and ultimately it's lasting legend in the underworld of Hollywood. Get ready kernels, it's CLOBBERIN' TIME (again).

Halloween comes early this year as James and Nick return to the annual tradition of watching a Disney Channel Original Movie. This year our trusty wheel gave us a bit of a scare landing on the fourth installment of a beloved DCOM classic franchise, Return to Halloweentown. A movie that's just a bit past our time, with a recast main character and leans on post-Potter influence, what can go wrong? Just Play It is gonna make the call - spooky or dookie!
