The Regular Guy Movie Show
In this podcast, three longtime friends revisit the movies they grew up with to determine whether they’re still classics or just relics of their time. With a mix of humor, deep dives, and pop culture insights, Seth, Justin, and Brian break down what still works, what doesn’t, and whether nostalgia is clouding our judgment.

Liar Liar (1997) – Truth, Chaos, and Federal Offenses
On this episode of The Regular Guy Movie Show, we revisit Liar Liar (1997) — the high-concept courtroom comedy that asks one simple question:
What happens when a lawyer who lies for a living suddenly loses the ability to lie?
Starring Jim Carrey at peak late-90s volume, Liar Liar blends slapstick, sentiment, and escalating chaos into one very eventful 24-hour stretch. For some, it’s a comedy classic. For others… it hits a little differently on rewatch.
In this episode, we break down:
- Whether Fletcher’s real flaw is dishonesty… or selfishness
- The difference between honesty and cruelty
- The tonal whiplash of that airport runway finale
- The legal consequences Fletcher absolutely would’ve faced in real life
- And whether redemption can (or should) happen in a single afternoon
We also play a brand-new game:
Two Truths and a Liar Liar — testing our knowledge of the cast with some deep-cut trivia.

- Boddicker nominations
- Final verdicts
- And one particularly restrained final thoughts score
