Jimmy's latest pick is a romantic comedy from the 90s. That's right, JIMMY'S latest pick. He liked Mike Myers when he was younger, what can we say?

Saturday Aug 12, 2023
Saturday Aug 12, 2023
It's the start of a brand new era here at "So, What's the Problem?" as it's time for Jen and Jimmy to watch movies have never seen but have heard they are possibly problematic. Or, in the case of this movie, they just wanted to bitch about Grease. This should be a once a month deal, to try to change things up a little. Next week will be Jen's pick that she has seen but Jimmy has not.

It's an 80s Stallone movie so you know what that means???? Right-wing politics and lots of violence! And Jimmy still likes it! It's an 80s action movie so you know it's Jimmy's pick. Tune in next week where the movie will be a 90s teen comedy... and still technically Jimmy's pick, masquerading as Jens. Hahahahahahaha. Contains strong language.

We are back and we start off year 4 with this early 90s thriller which is much better than the mid-90s thriller we covered before our break.

We are taking a break for a few weeks but will release something for the anniversary soon-ish. Contains strong language and adult themes including assault of various kinds.
So, What's the Problem?
Ever watched a movie that you loved as a kid that has elements that just wouldn't fly in a movie made today? Jimmy (a Scot) and Jen (an American) have and they discuss said movies on this podcast. They think of three problems each which can be serious or silly and also one positive thing about each movie.
