Welcome back to Almost Classic Movies — where Jon and Donald dissect not-quite-classics with just enough seriousness to pretend we know what we’re doing.

This week, we time-travel straight into the chaotic, shiny roller-disco that is Austin Powers in Goldmember (2002). From centered teeth to golden genitalia, from daddy issues to Destiny’s Child, this episode is packed tighter than Mini Me in a duffel bag.

In this episode:

• 💥 How Goldmember stacks up to the first two Austin Powers films
• 🎭 Michael Caine’s perfect casting and how Alfie might just make our "Almost Canceled Movies" list
• 🎤 A surprise cameo by Nathan Lane that steals the show
• 🍏 The unforgettable (and very uncomfortable) Apple Scene™
• 🤯 Fan theories and crossovers you didn’t know you needed (Threat Level Midnight vs. Austin Pussy? Yes, please.)
• 🚫 Deleted scenes that could’ve made this movie a 6.5 instead of a 5

Plus:

• Did Goldmember foreshadow the Subway diet scandal?
• A VERY cursed idea for an OnlyFans-exclusive podcast feed 😬
• And why Jon refuses to accept the existence of Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny

🎧 Listen in for the laughs, stay for the conspiracy theories, and let us know in the comments: What would make the better spy movie—Austin Pussy or Threat Level Midnight?
