Wonka (2023) - Nostalgia Check Mar 14, 2026

Show notes

We’re heading back to 2023 on this episode of We Have Seen That to revisit the musical origin story of the world’s most famous chocolate maker, Wonka.

Brendan and Juan break down their first impressions of the movie and whether the colorful prequel to Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory actually earns its place in the candy-coated legacy.

We dig into the IMDb details, production background, box office numbers, and critic scores, and see what audiences thought of Timothée Chalamet stepping into the purple coat. Then we jump over to the internet’s favorite chaos machine Letterboxd to read some of the funniest, harshest, and occasionally thoughtful reviews from movie fans.

After that, we break down the full plot of Wonka, following the young chocolatier as he arrives in the city with big dreams, questionable business planning, and an inevitable encounter with a tiny orange man. We talk about the musical numbers, the wild candy inventions, the villains running the chocolate cartel, and the moments that actually surprised us.

Finally, we give our official scores for the movie and decide whether Wonka is a sweet treat, a forgettable dessert, or something in between.

Before wrapping up, we tease the next episode of YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THAT, where we stay in 2023 and check out the summer camp slasher comedy Hell of a Summer.

SEND US SOME FAN MAIL

In this episode of You Haven’t Seen That, we head to the theater to check out Scream 7, the latest entry in the legendary Scream horror franchise. Does Ghostface still have some fresh tricks, or is the franchise starting to feel like a horror movie that refuses to die?

We kick things off by talking about the full theater experience including the flat sodas, Juan's absolutely massive movie theater pretzel, and the general chaos of seeing a brand new horror movie with an empty theater.

Then we dive into a full spoiler discussion of Scream 7, breaking down the story, the kills, the mystery, and how it stacks up against the rest of the franchise. We compare it to classics like Scream 2, Scream 4, and the recent reboot era with Scream and Scream VI.

Is this sequel a worthy continuation of the Ghostface legacy?

Does it bring something new to the formula?

And most importantly… where does it rank in the Scream franchise?

We break down the characters, the big moments, and the meta commentary the series is famous for before giving our final ratings at the end of the episode.

If you love horror movies, franchise rankings, and chaotic theater stories, this episode is for you.

Burn After Reading (2008) - Nostalgia Check Feb 28, 2026

Show notes

SEND US SOME FAN MAIL

In this episode of You Haven’t Seen That, we dive into one of the most chaotic, absurd, and hilariously pointless crime stories ever put to film: Burn After Reading, written and directed by Joel Coen and Ethan Coen.
Released in 2008, this Coen Brothers dark comedy stars Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Frances McDormand, John Malkovich, and Tilda Swinton and somehow turns a CD full of meaningless CIA memoirs into a spiral of blackmail, paranoia, gym employees with zero survival instincts, and government officials who truly do not care.
We break down:
• The absolutely unhinged performance from Brad Pitt
• Whether the plot is genius satire or just aggressively pointless on purpose
• Box office performance and critical reception
• Our first impressions vs. what we expected going in
• And why this movie feels even more relevant in today’s “everyone is dumb but confident” era
If you love dark comedies, Coen Brothers movies, or watching attractive people make terrible decisions for 90 minutes, this one’s for you.
And at the end of the episode… we spin the wheel to decide our next batch of movies for the year. New year. New blind spots. More movies we probably should have seen already.
If you’re new here, You Haven’t Seen That is the podcast where we revisit the last 30+ years of movies : the classics, the cult hits, the massive box office successes, and the films we somehow missed completely.

Let us know in the comments:
Is Burn After Reading secretly brilliant… or beautifully stupid?

Jumper (2008) - Nostalgia Check Feb 21, 2026

Show notes

SEND US SOME FAN MAIL

On this episode of We Have Seen That, Brendan and Juan revisit the sci fi action film Jumper, a globe hopping teleportation adventure that defined a slice of late 2000s blockbuster storytelling. This time we are not discovering it for the first time. We are looking back at what we remember, what stuck with us, and whether the movie holds up after revisiting it today.

We break down our history with the film, discuss why it left an impression, and examine how it fits into the era of high concept action driven by visual effects and franchise potential. From cast performances to directing choices, production background, box office results, and audience reactions, we explore the full context surrounding its release and reception.

As always, the conversation includes sarcastic commentary, honest reactions, and plenty of back and forth as we dive into the plot, memorable sequences, and the creative decisions that still spark debate. We compare our memories of the movie to the reality of watching it again and talk about whether nostalgia helps or hurts the experience. Special shoutout to Kevin from Miserable Hair People, and Aeric from Geeksplained Bookclub Podcast for sharing their thoughts on the movie!

If you enjoy movie podcasts, film discussion, revisiting movies from the last 30 years, or hearing passionate takes on both the good and questionable parts of familiar films, this episode is for you.

Subscribe for weekly episodes where we revisit movies we have seen, explore movies we have not, and continue building our movie time capsule one year at a time.

Wonder Man Might Be What Marvel Needed... | Review + Wheel Spin Feb 14, 2026

Show notes

SEND US SOME FAN MAIL

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:

First impressions of Wonder Man
The cast and performances
How it connects (or doesn’t) to the larger Marvel Cinematic Universe
What worked, what didn’t, and what had us side-eyeing the screen
Is Marvel finally back… or still searching for its next Endgame moment?

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.

Subscribe and join us as we build the ultimate movie time capsule… one year at a time.

A Few Good Men (1992) - Nostalgia Check Feb 07, 2026

Show notes

SEND US SOME FAN MAIL

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.

Show notes

SEND US SOME FAN MAIL

Party on! In this episode of Nostalgia Check on BJ in the Morning, we dive into the legendary 1992 comedy classic Wayne’s World. We break down when we first remember watching the movie, why it’s stayed iconic for over 30 years, and why we still quote it nonstop.

We cover the full Wayne’s World plot, release history, critic scores, and how the movie changed the future of Saturday Night Live movies. From Wayne and Garth’s friendship to the unforgettable Bohemian Rhapsody scene, product placement jokes, and 90s comedy culture — we analyze what still works and what hasn’t aged as well.

Finally, we give Wayne’s World our official 1–10 rating and decide if it truly deserves its legendary status.

To wrap things up, we tease our next episode where we jump into a 1992 movie we’ve never seen before — A Few Good Men starring Tom Cruise and Jack Nicholson. Courtroom drama incoming.

If you love movie nostalgia, comedy breakdowns, first-time watches, movie podcasts, and rewatch culture, this episode is for you
