It's Spooky Season! It's also the 30th anniversary of the 1995 movie Casper! Which is being re-released in theaters to celebrate, so we figured we would also do a re-release of our own. Last year we covered Casper so here is the episode again. Enjoy it for the first time or the second time! Or third? Calm down if so. Twice is enough. Hosted on Acast.

1995's Tommy Boy. Holy schnikes, it’s time to tackle Tommy Boy, the road-trip comedy that taught us about brake pads, friendship, and the dangers of lighting things on fire in an office. This wacky-underachiever-meets-snarky-sidekick road trip flick gave us laughs, car crashes, and the eternal struggle of salesmanship. But does it still deserve a high-five from our inner ’90s kid, or should we toss it in the trunk with all those outdated gags and hope it never makes it to Sandusky? Buckle up to see if this movie holds up or if it ends up as roadkill. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
2002's Maid in Manhattan. Pack your bags and grab your room key, because we’re revisiting Maid in Manhattan, the rom-com that tried to convince us a senator could fall for J.Lo just by seeing her in the wrong outfit. But does this Cinderella-in-a-hotel story still sparkle, or will we call housekeeping to clean up the mess? Either way, Ralph Fiennes definitely owes us an explanation. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
1990's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Cowabunga, dudes—we’re diving into the sewer-slick world where radioactive reptiles deliver justice with nunchucks, sass, and an unhealthy dependence on pizza. But does this childhood favorite still kick shell, or are there too many red flags hiding under those bandanas—like the racial coding, abusing children, and torture? We’re asking the hard-hitting questions: is this film a radical time capsule or just toxic ooze in VHS form? Either way, Splinter deserves hazard pay and some serious therapy. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
1982's E.T. This week, we phone home—and possibly hang up—because we’re talking E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, the childhood classic that made us believe in aliens, friendship, and government incompetency. But does this glowing-finger fever dream still hold up, or are we just looking at a weird raisin with abandonment issues? Between weird parenting, a fridge with way too much beer, and a terrorist halloween costume, we’re asking: is E.T. still a heartwarming ride across the moon, or are we just probing at nostalgia? Either way, someone get that alien a solid mobile plan. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
1997's Good Burger. Grab your secret sauce and questionable employment practices—this week we’re flipping back to Good Burger to find out if it still sizzles or if it’s past its expiration date. Did this movie serve up peak ‘90s nostalgia or is it giving us food poisoning with its rough mental health representation and fat jokes? Join us as we decide whether to keep it on the kids’ menu… or toss it in the fryer with Mondo Burger’s ethics. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
1985's The Goonies. This week we’re diving into The Goonies—that beloved treasure hunt where children evade felons, booby traps, and adult supervision like it’s an Olympic sport. But does this 80s classic still sparkle like One-Eyed Willy’s jewels, or is it just a messy map of fat jokes, yelling, and questionable parenting? Join us as we truffle shuffle our way through nostalgia, peril, and at least one unnecessary Rube Goldberg machine. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
1996's The Hunchback of Notre Dame. Ohhhh back in the day when Notre Dame wasn’t damaged by fire and the Romani people were persecuted by blue-balled religious institutions. Will this Disney classic bring us so much joy that we decide to crown it the King of Fools or will we have to burn it in Hell Fire? Either way, Frollo needs to take a long cold shower. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
1994's The Flintstones. Travel faaaaar back in time with us. To a time when things were analogue, life wasn’t as convenient, and the economy was good. That’s right… it’s 1994 and the movie The Flintstones came out. Is this movie going to prove to be a treasured classic that we should fossilize and treasure forever or are we going to have go sic Bamm-Bamm on it? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
1988's Who Framed Roger Rabbit? For some, this movie is the light of their life, the apple of their eye, the cream in their coffee. But is there enough to love about this movie or are we dropping a piano on its head? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
2004's Eurotrip. This isn't where we parked our podcast.... Does Scotty know about all the issues in this movie or can he be absolved of its sins for providing such a fun time? Either way, here's a fun fact: YOU MADE OUT WITH YOUR SISTER! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
2000's Miss Congeniality. She's beauty and she's grace, she's a step forward for feminism....or is she? This episode we cover this classic Sandra Bullock movie that explores what it means to be a woman. Will this movie's humor be enough to save itself or will we decide it should be blown away without its knowledge? Stay tuned for the next 5 lesbians... I mean answers! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
1994's Richie Rich. Macaulay Culkin IS our childhood. So we had to do this classic Macaulay movie. It may not be Home Alone, but it's still memorable. Will the fun 90s montages be enough to save this movie or is this movie rich in issues and therefore morally bankrupt? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
1988's Big. Trampolines, giant pianos, questionable relationships between a grown woman and man who is intellectually a and emotionally a boy. Awkward. Get ready to start adulting with us and Tom Hanks. Will we trampoline bounce in harmony with this movie or will we give it the bottom bunk? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
The episode original set to air 3/24 will now be airing 3/31. Is the reason for this is because Alyssa and Melina duked it out over a movie and ended up in the hospital together? Maybe. Or maybe it's technical issues. Maybe it Maybelline.... Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
2003's The Lizzie Maguire. (Lizzie voice or else it doesn't work) Gordo.....I mean.... what? Rome? Me? There's no way. This episode, we are heading to Rome with the spineless Gordo and the entirely inappropriate Ms. Ungermeyer. Will we determine this movie has aged like our childhood goddess Hilary Duff (ahem... aka very well), or are we feeling a little too much like Margaret Chan? Who knew dreams were made of unrealistic standards and inappropriate relationships? (Well, maybe some of us did). Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
1997's Mouse Hunt. I don't think we're dealing with an ordinary movie. This episode we discuss the Nathan Lane physical comedy Mouse Hunt with all its mouse trappings. Will something from such an innocent time in our lives prove comforting (even if its housing and job security issues sting a little now), or will we find that a movie without social consciousness... is chaos? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
1986's Labyrinth. Who ever thought a movie with Muppets and trolls would lead to so many people's sexual awakening. David Bowie and Jim Henson, that's who. This Jim Henson treasure starring the drop dead gorgeous baby actress Jennifer Connelly and drop dead gorgeous not so baby singer David Bowie wasn't a blowout success when it first came out, but developed into a cult classic, that even today is getting a sequel. The question is, do we want to revisit these complicated feelings watching a 40 year old man call a teen girl a tease, or would we rather just slap this movie and make it pee? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
1997's Romy and Michele's Highschool Reunion. Two brilliant blondes play two not so brilliant blondes in this 90's screwball comedy cult hit. It's seen as a girl-powered Wayne's World of its day, but is it? There are issues. Some sexist, some racist and some.... financial? Does this movie interpretive dance away with our hearts or will we refuse to sign it's yearbook? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
1994's Blank Check. What the world really needs is to visit Blank Check from 1994. We needed it in 1994 and we need it now. Why? Cause this world needs to see an upper middle class white boy named Preston with loving parents and a promising future to just finally see things going his way. And Blank Check delivers. Is this movie valued at a million bucks or will the lip-on-lip action between a 31 and 13 year old bankrupt this movie completely? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
