Jump On Movies: Recent Episodes
Ryan Jump
I am a former Math and Science Teacher and tutorer who loves Movies. But I also believe that Movies can be used as a teaching tool. I hope to learn new things myself by re-watching all of the movies I own, and just want to share my findings with others along the way! Thank you for your time and for listening to my podcast!
In this Podcast, Jump and Company cover the very first Predator movie, which starred Arnold "Terminator" Schwarzenegger, Jesse Ventura, and Carl "Apollo Creed" Weathers (RIP). This movie has some famous catchphrases (like "Get to the Choppa!!!") and its effects are very well done for its time.
Disclaimer: A few instances of profanity.
2nd Annual Podcast Party. It's Podcasting time! In this episode, Ryan Jump is joined by Bill B., Andy, and Adam S. to talk about Ghost in the Shell. (This movie is definitely for "mature audiences," and I can't carte blanche recommend it for all audiences because of certain scenes.)
In this Podcast, Danny White and I talk about one of our favorite movies: Terminator 2: Judgment Day. Strap in and listen to us gush about the movie and hear Danny's stories where he has hung out with certain movie actors at Comic-Con Conventions and hopefully you will revel in how much this movie affected us as we grew up throughout the years...
In this podcast, we finally cover the Last of the Lord of the Rings movies. As per usual, we do get off topic from time to time, but that will, hopefully, add to the fun factor of listening to this podcast.
Thank you for listening and Merry Christmas to all of you!
P.S. There is a little profanity that comes up from time to time. Hope this does not ruin your listening pleasure.
In this episode, special guest Bill B. and I discuss character analysis, scenes, and quotes from the second movie in the Lord of the Rings Trilogy! A couple times, Bill consults his Tolkein Encyclopedia and during the podcast, "ants" are made reference to before an infamous Legolas meme/song as well!
In this episode, after festivities of pizza, salad, soft drinks, chips, and Frangelica, we did a podcast immediately after watching Batman: Mask of the Phantasm. We decided that this would be a good one to do, especially in commemoration of the life and death of the voice of Batman for many years, Kevin Conroy. We hope you enjoy this podcast episode as much as we enjoyed making it!
In this Episode, Ryan is joined with his friend from High School, Bill Boyer, as they delve into the essence of Peter Jackson's masterwork, The Fellowship of the Rings, the first of the Lord of the Rings Trilogy. Ryan has got many questions, and Bill has many, many answers (not all of them correct, mind you, but it's ok. He is still a good guy). Bill uses his knowledge of the original book and the Amazon Prime show, The Rings of Power, to answer a few questions (but some are still not fully answered. But it's ok. We still like Bill. Bill is our friend. Nice hobbit.)
Hope you like the show!
Adam, Andrew, and Ryan talk about what we like (and mostly didn't like) about Episode VIII of the Star Wars saga. So many things that didn't make sense or were the result of bad writing or not-well-thought-of scenes and themes are explored.
This might not be one of our better podcasts, but it is one done with notes to look at and completely and totally unscripted. It is, also, I think our shortest podcast to date (at least the shortest one that Andrew and I have done together).
In this podcast, Ryan J. and Andrew talk about the first "official" movie of the MCU: Iron Man. Robert Downey Jr. excels as the "hero who has a heart" and Jeff Bridges kills it as the villain, Obadiah Stane! Though this is one of our shorter podcasts, we hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed giving it to you.
My friend Mike and I discuss the original Shining Movie, the Shining Mini-Series, Dr. Sleep, and discuss briefly our thoughts on the existence of ghosts and shows like Ghost Hunters as well. We conclude with talking about a few of our poigonant dreams and a few frightening personal experiences that could have been ghosts, or something else yet entirely.... (are you scared yet?)
In this Podcast, Ryan is joined by friends, Andrew and newcomer Adam, to talk about the first film in the new sequel trilogy of Star Wars Episodes.
In this Episode, Andrew and I go over my list of questions on plot points and nerd out over Star Wars lore and some trivia as well, as we talk about the end of the original "Star Wars" trilogy.
In this Podcast, Ryan and Andrew share personal reflections on when they first saw Empire Strikes Back, as well as go over certain iconic characters and their quotes. They also talk about various brilliant scenes and why this movie is probably the best of all of the Star Wars movies.
In this Podcast, we give it another go, discussing the characters and themes of SPIRITED AWAY, as the first time (Podcast #7) had a few technical difficulties associated with it. This one has brand new dialogue and discussions that the first one did not, and has better sound quality. And a discussion of SPIRITED AWAY would not be complete without referencing Dr. Robotnik & Wonder Woman...
In this podcast review, we discuss a variety of things about this movie which started the entire Star Wars franchise as a whole, including a list of questions/comments I had while watching this movie.
In this Podcast, Ryan and his special guest and friend, Vince, review and talk about one of Vince's favorite movies from his childhood: Stand By Me. We go over sections of the plot and focus on scenes we really like and also things that we can learn about from this movie, while relating how this movie can relate to us over 25 years after this movie was first released in theaters back in 1986. This movie is also based on Stephen King's novella, "The Body," and is made up of an all-star cast including Keifer Sutherland, Wil Weaten, River Pheonix (Joaquin Pheonix's brother), among others.
In this podcast we debate the merits of Germany as a country (among other things), X-Men and Wonder-Woman, as always, and the connective tissue between this and the other Star Wars movies.
In this relaxed podcast review, we review X-Men and Wonder Woman, then talk about Solo A Star Wars Story.
We discuss the themes and plot of IT Chapter 2 as well as mentioning the first IT movie and the miniseries.
In this Review, Ryan and Andrew address that they will be changing the way they will be doing podcasts in the future and that Ryan will be starting his own "Lessons to be Learned" Reviews on his own YouTube channel. Ryan and Andrew then talk about Star Wars Episode III.
In this review, Ryan starts with the first film of one of his most favorite movie franchises, the Terminator series. While discussing the plot and the amazing quotes that this movie has to offer, he also digs deeper and tries to make his case that even ordinary people like you and I who come from humble beginnings can do great things and even become heroes as well.
In this episode, Ryan and Andrew discuss plot points, quotes, lessons, and general Star Wars lore in this second film of at least a 9-film saga.
Just Like Heaven is a 2005 American romantic comedy fantasy film directed by Mark Waters, starring Reese Witherspoon, Mark Ruffalo, and Jon Heder. It is based on the 1999 French novel If Only It Were True (Et si c'était vrai...) by Marc Levy. Steven Spielberg obtained the rights to produce the film from the book. The film was released in the United States and Canada on September 16, 2005. It made $102.8 million at the box office on a budget of around $50 million. On a personal note, this is one of two romantic comedy movies that my future wife, Libby, really wanted me to watch while we were dating. The other one was A Walk to Remember. And here I am, like 9-10 years later, reviewing it. This should be fun!
1st Collaboration Review with my friend, Andrew. We tackle on the plot, characters, themes, memes, and quotes of the first episode of the Star Wars Saga!
The plot of this great psychological thriller is discussed as well as the relation of Mental Illness and Criminals, Violence and when it should be used and whether God loves violence, standing up and fighting for what you believe in even if everybody else is against you, learning to be proactive and acting on something when inaction will cause ruin and bad consequences, and whether it is nobler to live as a monster or die as a hero.
In this Episode, my friend, Jack, discuss the plot, themes, charachters, and lessons from the 2001 Anime film "Spirited Away".
In this episode we go over themes, quotes, plot, and a few funny scenes in the first Home Alone movie. At the end, certain lessons one can learn are brought into the forefront.
Here I review my first "Baseball" movie that is almost more of a love story than a sports movie. The film also co-stars J. K. Simmons and John C Rielly. Can one have a baseball career and a relationship at the same time? let's find out.
In this Special Episode, a good friend of mine, Mike Sellman, joins me on the journey of exploring the themes and character developments of the characters in It: Chapter I. We also talk about the book written by Stephen King and also about how this movie differs from the book and the original IT miniseries from 1990. This is the first collaberation effort for the JUMP ON MOVIES Podcast and hopefully will be the first of many for the future!
I do want to say that we ran into a minor technical difficulty at the 30 minute mark, so there is not the smoothest of transitions. But, we will know better for next time, so sorry for that in advance.
We hope you enjoy this as much as we enjoyed making this for you! Take care, stay scared, and have a totally tubular day!
Listen to hear what Lessons one can learn from the first Rocky movie. I recount the main scenes and give insight on the main messages that one can learn from when watching the movie.
In this episode, I go over the themes of the first X-Men movie and quotes which serve as talking points. Big ones mentioned include, "Does the ends justify the means?" and "No greater love doth man have than this, that he give up his life for his friends."
