From Justin to Kane The Godfather (1972) and The Love Guru (2008)In this epi, we watch The Godfather, one of the greatest achievements in American film history, and we compare it to The Love Guru, Mike Myer's cinematic fall from grace. What do these films have in common? Lots! Mostly themed around cultural stereotyping (natch). Plus, Mike regales Bob with movie theatre horror stories, we talk about 1999 (one of the best movie years), and we introduce a new segment: Movie Corner, where we talk about - you guessed it - movies! This is a super fun episode, and our longest yet, so strap in! Follow us on:

From Justin to Kane Shrek (2001) and Suicide Squad (2016)In this episode we tackle the Dreamworks animation sensation Shrek (2001), and stack it up with 2016's DC Universe fail-son Suicide Squad, and SPOILER ALERT we find that these movies are scarily similar.

We also try out our best Shrek impressions, we figure out which Shrek character is which Suicide Squad member, and we talk about how we COULD HAVE invented Youtube and Grand Theft Auto... but we were too busy at the time.

From Justin to Kane Akira (1988) and A Talking Cat!?! (2013)In this episode, we compare the brilliant 1988 anime film Akira, and A Talking Cat!?! (2013), a children’s film that was directed by a man who is more known for his softcore porn films. Also: the cat is voiced by Eric Roberts. Through discussing the similarities between the two films, we discover that they are both about god-like figures with psychic powers, and both films are existential meditations on world war two that take place in a Shakespearean post-apocalyptic techno-dystopia. It's true! Find us online: Web: http://www.fromjustintokane.libsyn.com/ Email: fromjustintokane@gmail.co...

Do we find that both of these films are pretty similar? You’ll have to listen to find out! (spoiler alert: we do).

From Justin to Kane Citizen Kane (1941) and From Justin to Kelly (2003)In this, our very first episode, we explore the two films that gave our podcast it’s name: Orson Welles’ masterpiece Citizen Kane (1941) and From Justin to Kelly (2003), “the American Idol movie”. We find an alarming number of similarities between the two films - for example, both are set in Florida, both include characters with political ambitions, and are equally “musicals”. By the end of the episode, we agree that Citizen Kane and From Justin to Kelly are pretty much the same movie! And just a disclaimer: for this first episode, our audio quality is just okay! Do...
