I Remember Liking That Movie Podcast
Every episode, we explore a movie we haven’t seen in like forever, and see if it is still as good as we remember. We use the first part of the show to try and remember what we liked about the movie. Then we go over the movie which includes looking at the poster, taglines, actors, synopsis, and finally, we watch the trailer. Then we predict whether or not we will like it. The second part of the show is when we come back after watching the movie and review it. Usually with hilarious results. We love going back to watch all sorts of genres. Horror, Comedy, Science Fiction, Fantasy, Comedy, Action and Adventure. Doesn’t matter how bad the movie might seem. If we liked it back then, we’ll see if it holds up today.

Above The Law (1988) 80s Action in all its Cheezy Glory
Do you remember Above the Law from 1988? Well, if you're having trouble distinguishing this movie from the long list of other Seagal films, you are not alone. We remembered we liked it, much like we liked all his films from the 90s. They were a guarantee of an hour and a half of cheesy dialogue and over the top ass kicking. Well, this movie started it all. Not only did it star Steven Seagal, but he also produced and wrote it. We can't wait.

Desperately Seeking Susan (1985): 80s Cult Classic or Were we Desperately Seeking the Fast Forward Button?
Do you remember Desperately Seeking Susan from 1985? This movies got good review but the trailer sucked. Our recollection of Madonna Movies in the 80s is not overly favorable. The plot sounds ridiculous, but the nostalgia is definitely there. So join us as we go back and watch Madonna, Rosanna Arquette, and a whole list of famous actors not quite famous yet, get into some wacky hijinks that only the 80s could produce.

Collateral (2004) Does a Realistic Urban Thriller from 04 Still Hold Up?
Remember Collateral from Michael Mann starring Jamie Foxx and arguably the biggest movie star worldwide, Tom Cruise? We didn't remember a lot from this movie either. What we did remember was that it was more realistic than your average action film of the time, and Jada Pinkett Smith seemed normal. But with these two mega stars, this director, and a supporting cast that is downright diabolical, we have high hopes.
Do You Remember Liking This Movie?
National Treasure (2004) Actual Treasure or Does X Mark the Disappointment
Do you remember National Treasure, starring Nicolas Cage? We do because we love a good Adventure. After all, it has so many movie genre ingredients and if you throw Nicolas Cage into the recipe well hot damn. And if Nicolas Cage wasn't enough, it also has Diane Kruger, Sean Bean, Jon Voight, Harvey Keitel & Christopher Plummer, all of whom we don't remember being in this movie at all. So this should be fun.
Do You Remember Liking This Movie?
Drop Dead Gorgeous (1999) Welcome to the World of Beaty Pageants & Clever Politically Incorrectness
Do you remember Drop Dead Gorgeous from 1999? We do and we don't. We remember that it has a stacked cast in Kristen Dunst, Denise Richards, Ellen Barkin, Kirstie Alley, Britney Murphy, Amy Adams & Allison Janney just to name a few. Seriously, there is a lot more. We also remember it being hilarious. We also think that hilarity might be very politically incorrect now. Either way, we couldn't be more excited. So join us as we go back to the end of the 90s and watch this documentary-style comedy.
Do You Remember Liking This Movie?
Rosemary's Baby (1968) Lava Lamps, Go-Go Boots, Hippies & the Anti-Christ
Do you remember Rosemary's Baby? The ultra controversial movie of the 60s. It might not be so controversial now but that doesn't mean we're not excited about watching it. Starring In a role that sky rocketed Mia Farrow to stardom it also had a slew of 60s powerhouse character actors. We admit we do not remember a lot about this movie other than Lady has sex with Satan, Lady gets pregnant, has baby and the world is worse off because of it. So join us as we go back to the 1960s and watch Rosemary's Baby.
Do You Remember Liking This Movie?
Saved! (2004) OMG Funny or Holy Crap that Sucked!
Do you remember Saved! from 2004? We remember it was funny and had a great cast: Mandy Moore, Jena Malone, that kid from Almost Famous, that kid from Home Alone, and that hot mom who sold all that weed in that show. At a time when comedy movies were abundant and popular, Saved may have gone under the radar at the box office, but those who found it found a clever and funny film. At least, that's how we remember it.
Do You Remember Liking This Movie?
New Jack City (1991) 90s OG or Just Another Wannabe?
Do you remember New Jack City starring Wesley Snipes, Ice-T, Mario Van Peebles, and Judd Nelson? We sure do and we remember loving it. This movie made us want to be Ice-T and Wesley Snipes simultaneously. But we haven't seen it since the 90s and have been wrong before. We'll be honest, if this movie isn't as good as we remember, we are going to be more than just disappointed.
Do You Remember Liking This Movie?
Streets of Fire (1984) Ahead of its Time or Still Ahead of its Time
Do you remember Streets of Fire from 1984? We don't. Not really. Especially after watching the trailer and wondering if this movie is a Musical or 90 minute music video. The cast is stacked with a young Diane Lane and maniacal looking Willem Dafoe. The hero, Michael Pare looks Hero-Like with his smoldering good looks, motorcycle riding, shotgun toting aesthetic. So this is going to be very good or very bad and we can't wait.
Do You Remember Liking This Movie?
Wildcats (1986) Timeless 80s Sports Comedy or 80s Raunch Full of Cringe?
We remember liking Wildcats but we also admit that the last time we saw it, we were just kids. And that was a long time ago. But it stars the amazing Goldie Hawn and introduces us to the dynamic duo of Woody Harrelson & Wesley Snipes. It has a stacked cast, it's a sports movie, it's rated R, and it's from the 80s. How can this movie not be great?
Do You Remember Liking This Movie?
The Crow (1994) Should this movie be Resurrected Again or just stay Dead and Buried?
We remember loving this movie in the 90s. As kids, this movie was serious kick-ass awesomeness. It may have been the best comic book movie of the 90s! Sure the bar was low but that doesn't change the fact that we remember a dark and bruting look, a 90s grunge soundtrack, a whose who of bad guy actors, and unfortunately a career-defining and final performance from Brandon Lee. If this movie is not as good as we remember we just might go goth and brude in our rooms for a week writing awful gloom poetry with the volume on our ghetto blaster turned up. All the way up.
Do You Remember Liking This Movie?
Lake Placid (1999) Does This 90s Creature Feature Still Have Bite?
We remember loving this Creature Feature from 1999 with an all-star cast and perfectly balanced CGI & Practical Effects. But it has been a decade or more. Starring Bridget Fonda, Bill Pullman, and Oliver Platt with effects by the great Stan Winston we have high hopes that this 90s B-Movie still gets an A for Awesome. We're also wondering if the Betty White scenes are still freaking hilarious? Here's hoping.
Do You Remember Liking This Movie?
The Cutting Edge (1992) This 90s Rom-Com Goes For The Gold
Remember this figure skating Rom-Com from the 90s? We kind of do, and one of us is so excited while another is not as excited. Former arrogant Hockey prospect Doug Dorsey can't play hockey anymore because of an eye injury while stuck-up figure skater Kate Moseley can't keep a partner. Can these "Opposites" work together to win? Will there be silly hijinks of two worlds colliding? Will they fall in love? We'll let you connect the dots on this one.
Do You Remember Liking This Movie?
Hot Tub Time Machine (2010) Blast From the Past or Raunchy Comedy Better Left to History?
Remember Hot Tub Time Machine? If you do, you might also remember when movies used to be funny. At the beginning of the 2000s, it seemed that hilarious comedies were everywhere and we remember this one being no exception. Join us as we go back in time (get it) to watch Hot Tub Time Machine starring John Cusak, Rob Corddry, Craig Robinson & Clark Duke as they take the funniest Decade and combine it with the other funniest Decade. 2010 meets 1986 and we cannot wait.
Do You Remember Liking This Movie?
the Shining (1980) Classic Horror Masterpiece or Just Old Piece Of (fill in blank)
Do you remember the Shining from 1980? Of course, you do. "Redrum", "Give me the Bat", "Here's Johnny" and all that good stuff fabricated as a result of a family in isolation for months and slowly going crazy because the place is Haunted and the Father is an Alcoholic. Who hasn't spent a winter vacation like that at one point in their life? Join us as we go back and watch Stanley Kubrick's classic ghost story that still lives in infamy and see if it and Jack Nicholson and Shelly Duvall are still as good as we remember.
Do You Remember Liking This Movie?
Edward Scissorhands (1990) A Modern Fairytale with a Grade 'A' Horse Sh*t Ending!
Do you remember Edward Scissorhands from Director Tim Burton? We do. Even the person here who hasn't ever watched it remembers it. It stars Johnny Depp, Winona Ryder & Dianne Wiest. It helped define the 90s and has become a part of pop culture, referenced in countless ways from cartoons and magazines and even an episode of Seinfeld. It also stars Anthony Michael Hall, Alan Arkin, Kathy Baker, and even the legendary Vincent Price. And yes, one of us has never seen it...
Do You Remember Liking This Movie?
Extinction (2015) Mutant Zombies & Climate Change Vs. Survivors & a Dog
Do you remember Extinction starring Matthew Fox and Jeffrey Donovan? Not only has the world turned into a giant popsicle but those rascally Zombies are evolving and man are they hungry. Join us as we go all the way back to 2015 and watch a movie one of us swears is Awesome and one of us hasn't even seen. Like we haven't been down this road before.
Do You Remember Liking This Movie?
Ski Patrol (1990) A Raunchy 90s Comedy rated PG
Do you remember Ski Patrol from 1990? We do. Or we thought we did. We got a few ski movies mixed up into one hodge-podge memory. So join us as we go back to 1990 and watch a raunchy comedy with no raunch from the makers of Police Academy. Not the first Police Academy. The later ones. It should be awesome.
Do You Remember Liking This Movie?
The Colony (2013) Low Budget Cannibal Horror Fest or Cannibal #2 (that would be Cannibal poop)
Do you remember the Colony from 2013? It starred Laurence Fishburne, Bill Paxton, and that kid from the Air Bud movies. Don't worry, we don't remember a lot about this movie either, and since it hasn't been that long since its release, we're kind of worried as to why we haven't rewatched it or why we can't remember a whole lot from it. But we do remember that this film has a lot of snow and cannibals, so it can't be that bad, can it?
Do You Remember Liking This Movie?
The Mighty Ducks (1992) Quack! Quack! Quack... you get where we're going with this
OMG! Remember the Might Ducks? If you were a kid in the 90s you almost certainly remember the Mighty Ducks. If you were an adult, you probably couldn't believe they were adding an NHL team based on a freaking Disney Film. Either way, it stars the great Emilio Estevez, the guy that plays Foggy in the awesome Daredevil series, and that other guy who would become Pacy "the Milf Slayer" from Dawsons Creek. Join us as we return to the 90s and revisit one of many kids movies we remember liking.
Do You Remember Liking This Movie?
Assault on Precinct 13 (2005) Kick Ass Remake or just an Assault on our Intelligence?
Remember Assault on Precinct 13? No, not the cult classic from the 70s, the remake from 2005. We remember liking it, what with its ultra-violent action, cat-and-mouse plot, and a stacked class including Laurence Fishburne, Ethan Hawke, and that chick from Sopranos. So join us as we go back to the early 2000s and watch an action movie we remember liking.
Do You Remember Liking This Movie?
Rollerball (2002) To borrow from a more successful Podcast, "How Did This Get Made?"
Remember Rollerball from 2002? Of course you don't, most victims block out trauma so as not to relive it over and over. This car wreck of a movie comes in at over 70 million dollars, a decent cast, and a capable director but still manages to make one of the most horrendous action movies of the early 2000s. This one has been on our shelf for a few months as a backup episode should anything go wrong and we can't record live. Well, 2024 came and went and it's time to unload this gold mind of Hollywood Crap!

2024 Review
We are going through all the movies we watched to find the best of the best that we have reviewed. We're also looking for the worst of the worst. The best over-the-top actor. The best one-liners or dialogue, whichever comes first. We reviewed a lot of movies we remembered liking this year. Some were just as good and some didn't even come close.
Do You Remember Liking This Movie?
Jack Frost (1998) with a Hallmark Bonus
Do you remember Jack Frost from the 90s? We don't because neither of us watched this movie. It had a big budget, big starts, and big effects. So what stopped us from wanting to see it back then? Well, we're about to find out as we go back and watch Jack Frost starring Batman, we mean Micheal Keaton and Kelly Preston. As a bonus, we also watched Hallmark's "Good Morning Christmas" starring Alison Sweeney and... oh who cares!
Do You Remember Liking This Movie?
Santa Claus the Movie (1985) The Christmas gift no one asked for but got anyways
Do you remember Santa Claus the Movie? This 1985 movie had an astronomical budget for its time. It cost more than Back to the Future, Goonies, and Witness combined. So why has one of the most expensive and elaborate movies of 1985 just faded from our memory? Well, we're about to find out! Join us as we go back to 1985 and watch Dudley Moore and John Lithgow bring us all some Christmas joy or maybe they'll just dump all over our Christmas spirit.
Do You Remember Liking This Movie?
P2 (2007) Fun Xmas Horror Or Just Horrifyingly Awful?
Do you remember the 2007 Christmas Thriller P2? It's a nightmare scenario as old as the creation of parking garages. This finds Rachel Nichols alone in a parking garage on Christmas Eve and Wes Bentley as the creepy security guard who hunts her throughout the movie. We remember the movie being good for such a simplistic plot. So join us as we return to 2007 and watch a Christmas Thriller to see if it's still as good as we remember.
Do You Remember Liking This Movie?
Mixed Nuts (1994) Umm... What?
Do you remember the Christmas movie Mixed Nuts from 1994? We remember almost nothing about this movie, and with a stacked cast like this—Steve Martin, Madeline Kahn, Anthony LaPaglia, Juliette Lewis, Liev Schreiber, Rita Wilson, and Adam Sandler, to name just a few—we are worried about why we haven't seen it since the 90s. We hope it was ahead of its time and is a lost Holiday Gem but we wouldn't bet our Christmas Stocking on it. So join us as we go back to the 90s for a Christmas Surprise or the Ghost of Christmas Future. You know, the one where life sucks, everybody is miserable and the main character dies. Much like our Christmas Spirit if this movie sucks.
Do You Remember Liking This Movie?
Lethal Weapon (1987) 80's Christmas Star or Lump of Coal
Did you know Lethal Weapon takes place in L.A. during Christmas? Neither did we. But now that we do, we couldn't be more excited. We remember Riggs being certifiably crazy and doing a Three Stooges impression while Murtaugh complains about being too old to do pretty much anything. But you throw some Gary Busey in there and we'll grab the eggnog and head back to 1987 for one the most iconic action movies ever. We just hope this is a Christmas treat and not a big fat lump of coal.
Do You Remember Liking This Movie?
Mindhunters (2004) Engaging Smart Thriller or Plotless Demoralizing Drudgery?
Do you remember 2004's Mindhunters starring Val Kilmer, Christian Slater & LL Cool J. Throw in some Ms. "Cold Case" herself (Kathryn Morris), Eion Baily & Jonny Lee Miller and you got yourself a Nostalgia Salad. Based or stolen (we're not sure) on an Agatha Christie novel and every murder mystery film that came before it, we remember an edge of your seat who dunnit with some spectacular kills. But that was back then and it has been a while. So join us we go back to the early 2000's and preview and then review "MINDHUNTERS".
Do You Remember Liking This Movie?
Idiocracy (2006) Comedy or Upcoming Documentry?
Remember Idiocracy from 2006? No one heard of it when it hit theaters because the studio practically abandoned it but then it became a smash hit when released for rental. The funny thing is, people see it more as an ever-evolving transition from a comedy film to a sad documentary. We find that funny too. So join us as we go back to 2006 and see just how much the movie is getting right with society today.
Do You Remember Liking This Movie?
House On Haunted Hill (1999 & 1959) Two movies, same plot, way different outcomes
We are going back to look at "House on Haunted Hill" from 1999 & 1959 respectively. One movie was coined as "Emergo" which meant mixing real F/X and stunts in the movie theater, while the other was at the beginning of a new wave of CGI mixed with stylized gore & metal/techno music. So join us as we watch two very different movies with the same name and plot. We cannot wait.

Bonus: Halloween II Trivia
Join us as we take a look at some behind-the-scenes trivia for Halloween II. There was a lot of miscommunication, he said she said, interference, and on top of all of that, a future superstar (to us anyway) making their first film appearance.
Do You Remember Liking This Movie?
Halloween II (1981) More Michael, More Loomis, More Laurie, More HALLOWEEN
Do you remember Halloween II from 1981? This one was panned for being less scary, more gory, and a ton more blood. We don't see the problem with any of that but people back in 81 did. We don't remember much about this movie, other than it takes place right where the original ended. It also takes place in a hospital and Jamie Lee Curtis got a bigger paycheck and basically laid in a hospital bed the entire film. So join us as we go back to the 80s and preview & review the first sequel to one of the most popular horror movies ever.
Do You Remember Liking This Movie?
A Nightmare On Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge (1985) Revenge, Possessions & a whole lot of GAY!
We don't remember much about this movie, only that it went in a different direction than the others for better or worse. It had a more serious tone and Freddy wasn't as chatty as usual. We also don't remember that since its release this movie has become a bit of a Gay/Horror cult classic. We'll be honest, this went right over our heads. To be fair, the last time we saw this movie, we were still kids. Not only are we excited to back to Elm Street, but we're just as excited to see everything we seemingly missed. So join us as we go back to 1985 and watch what is apparently, a more gay Nightmare On Elm Street.
Do You Remember Liking This Movie?
Bonus: Freddy's Revenge Trivia
Wow, there is a lot to unpack with this movie. They didn't even hire Robert Englund. They didn't use any of the music from the original, which every other film in the series does. They redid Freddy's look. New Line Cinema had a lot riding on this film, like everything, and much much more.
Do You Remember Liking This Movie?
Bonus: Addams Family Trivia
Join us as we go beyond the movie and look at some trivia from "The Addams Family". We learn that Christopher Lloyd was not the first choice for Fester and that some of the other actors being considered were eyebrow raising. Morticia might have been another famous actress had she not wanted to do another movie where she would meet her future husband and the way this movie came to be, is just ridiculous.
Do You Remember Liking This Movie?
The Addams Family (1991)
Do you remember the Addams Family from 1991? We remember it looking great; the cast was great and quite funny. But that was 30-plus years ago and we were just kids. Join us as we go back to the 90s and watch this family box office smash with a stacked cast and a look that made us think that Tim Burton himself made it. Was it a homage to the '60s TV series we watched on reruns after school or like many other '90s family movies, made with too much feel-good sappiness, that it makes it almost unbearable to watch? That would be a disservice to the 1st family of weird.
Do You Remember Liking This Movie?
Return of the Living Dead Part II (1988) More Brains, More Zombies, More Fun?
Remember the Return of the Living Dead part 2? We saw it as kids and we saw it a lot. But once we got older the original dominated our viewing. Was it because part 2 was hard to find on TV or it didn't hold a candle to the original? We remember it resembled the first one, James Karen & Thom Mathews make a return in a weird connection to the original. We also remember "Get the damn screwdriver out of my head" part. It doesn't matter, 80's Zombie sequel to one of the all-time great horror movies of the 80s and genres (Return of the Living Dead 1985). Sign us up.
Do You Remember Liking This Movie?
Bonus: Return of the Living Dead Part II Trivia
Join us as we go behind the scenes of this Zombie Sequel and find out that some actors and crew did not enjoy their experience. A director who didn't want to direct another horror movie and some extras who were in real danger of contracting the real "Zombie Disease". WTF?
Do You Remember Liking This Movie?
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 (1986) The buzzz is back but is it any good?
Do you remember The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2? It is the sequel to one of the most influential horror movies of all time that not only divided the critics but the audience as well. We don't remember a whole lot of this movie but we remember that it was a complete 180 from the O.G. and it had Dennis Hopper. It had a lot of gore and was funnier for some reason. The point is, we can't wait.
Do You Remember Liking This Movie?
Bonus: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 Trivia
The original script was completely different, the movie was banned in umpteen countries and there are completed scenes out there of the Sawyer family hunting for prime meat with full effects created by Tom Savini that should be in this film. WTF!!!
Do You Remember Liking This Movie?
Masters of the Universe (1987)
Do you remember Masters of the Universe? The 1987 He-Man movie that did not resemble the beloved cartoon of the 80s, at all! We remember some good casting decisions. Frank Langella as Skeletor is awesome. Meg Foster as Evil Lynn is awesome. Dolph Lungren as He-Man, a guy who could barely speak English, why the hell not? It also stars "Friends" star, Courtney Cox, that dick of a principal from "Back to the Future" and the kid that later gets a job being an Uber driver for the Star Trek Voyager crew. And this beloved cartoon and toy empire was put in the hands of a first-time director and production company known for B-Movies starring Charles Bronson, Chuck Norris, and Jean Claude Van Damn. Oh yeah, they also ruined "Superman" by producing "The Quest For Peace". So now we're not sure what to expect. But it should be fun either way.
Do You Remember Liking This Movie?
Bonus: Masters of the Universe Trivia
We look behind the scenes of "Masters of the Universe" where sequels were planned, the king of pop visited the set, the costumes were torturous and the budget was tight. Like really tight. Super tight.
Do You Remember Liking This Movie?
Toy Soldiers (1991) R-Rated Action Movie for Kids, F**K YEAH!
Remember "Toy Soldiers" from 1991? The movie where terrorists take over a prep school with machine gun action and explosions galore. Did you also know that it was rated R? We didn't either. But we remember it was the guy who was a Hobbit, and it had the kid from "Stand By Me" who gets a leech stuck to his balls, and the kid from "Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead" & "Adventures in Babysitting". Throw in the great Louis Gossett Jr. and we are more than excited to go back to 1991 and see why we remember liking this movie.
Do You Remember Liking This Movie?
Beetlejuice (1988) Is he Still the Ghost with the Most?
Remember Beetlejuice from the 80s? You know, the one we all saw like a hundred times. Now, with the release of the Beetlejuice sequel (Beetlejuice Beetlejuice) all these decades later, we're wondering if the original Beetlejuice is as good as we remember. It almost has to be right? Tim Burton's insane story with stop motion & macabre visuals, Micheal Keaton in an iconic performance, Winona Ryder, Catherine O'Hara, Alec Baldwin, and Geena Davis! To be honest, if this movie isn't half as good as we remember, we are going to be crushed.
Do You Remember Liking This Movie?
Bonus: Beetlejuice Trivia
Join us for Bonus Trivia. You'll be amazed at who was considered for the part of Beetlejuice. Who was the first choice for Catherine O'Hara's character? The actress who almost beat out Winona Ryder? The Director who was supposed to take on the project and how you'll be astounded at the actual time Micheal Keaton appears in this film.

Godzilla (1998) Does Size Really Matter?
Remember Godzilla? No not the awesome Godzilla Minus One. No not the awesome 2014 starring Bryan Cranston & Elizabeth Olsen. No not Shin Godzilla. Okay, stop! We're talking about the 1998 Godzilla directed by the disaster movie master Roland Emmerich & starring Mathew Broderick. We remember this movie had a ridiculously long marketing campaign and got a lot of hate. So what aren't we remembering? Join us as we end our Summer Drive-In Double Feature with Blockbuster Heavyweight, Godzilla 1998!

Bonus: Godzilla Trivia
We look at some behind-the-scenes troubles, a lot of hate for the movie, and some very sexy or odd creature developments. Join us as we look at some fun trivia from Godzilla 1998.
Do You Remember Liking This Movie?
Independence Day (1996) Sci-Fi Classic or 90's B-Movie?
Remember Independence Day 1996? Of course, you do. It stars Will Smith, Jeff Goldblum, Pill Pullman, and a bunch of other people who get shot at by aliens with the Pew Pews and the big laser beams. We remember loving this movie. There was nothing of this scale when it came to Aliens invading Earth. But a lot of movies have come after Independence Day and we are now worried about just how well this movie will hold up now that we are used to giant budgets and modern special effects. So join us as we go back to the 90s to finish off our Drive-In Double Feature and see if Independence Day is as good as we remember.
Do You Remember Liking This Movie?
Bonus: Independence Day Trivia
Join us as we go behind the scenes and see why this movie holds records that probably will never be broken, how Will Smith almost didn't get the part that launched his Blockbuster career, and some ridiculous filming conditions for the crew.

Stand By Me (1986) Has A Movie About A Dead 12 Year Old Been More Fun?
What could be more fun than hanging out with your best friends, during the summer, sleeping under the stars, evading killer dogs, and swimming with blood-sucking parasites in an adventure that ends with locating a dead body? Join us as we go back to 1986, which takes us back to 1959, and hang out with Wil Wheaton, River Phoenix, Corey Feldman & Jerry O'Connell in the 80s classic directed by Rob Reiner.
Do You Remember Liking This Movie?
Do The Right Thing (1989) Is the right thing watching it again or leaving it in the 80s?
Remember "Do The Right Thing" from Spike Lee? We do and we don't. We remember it was very controversial at the time, and declared as one of the most important movies of the 80s. But how has it aged and does the story still hold up? So join us as we go back and watch Danny Aiello, Giancarlo Esposito, John Turturro, Bill Nunn, Samuel L. Jackson & Rosie Perez in a movie that broke new ground and see if it's as good as we remember.

Bonus: Death Wish 2 Trivia
Join us as we look at some of the behind scenes trivia of the first Death Wish sequel. Charles Bronson was ahead of his time as were the producers who inked an exclusive deal with a pay tv provider before filming even began. Not everyone was happy about this sequel and we're not just talking about the critics.
Do You Remember Liking This Movie?
Death Wish 2 (1982) Something New or Retread of 70s Classic?
Follow us as we go back and see our old friend Paul Kersey who is now living in L.A. during the 80s. We don't remember a whole lot of this movie but we're guessing there are a bunch of punks who don't know who they're messing with and get what's coming to them. So we're just wondering if this is a sequel that tried something new or pretty much followed the same formula as the first film. Join us as we go back to 1982 and watch Charles Bronson clean up the streets of New York, we mean L.A, again, or for the first time, because it's L.A. or, well... we don't know. We just hope it's good.

D.C. Cab (1983) Politically Incorrect, Total Chaos & Mr. T
This 1983 comedy was directed by Joel Schumacher, yes that Joel Schumacher. It stars our favorite leading Hollywood crazy, Gary Busey. It has Max Gail (Barney Miller), Adam Baldwin (No Relation to Those Other Baldwins), Marsha Warfield (Night Court), comedian Charlie Barnett, comedian Paul Rodriguez, the Barbarian Twins (remember that movie?) & "We Pity The Fool" who doesn't remember Mr. T. How can this movie be bad? Well for one, it sits at 18% on Rotten Tomatoes, one of the hosts hasn't even seen it, and the other host hasn't seen it since the 80s. Join us as we go back to the 80s and watch this zany comedy that may or may not be as good as one of us remembers.
Do You Remember Liking This Movie?
Bonus: D.C. Cab Trivia
Sure the movie was a total train wreck but we take a look at behind the scenes, where the movie was a total success, the connection to Andrew McCarthy & Jim Carrey and that Mr. T really was a great guy.

Smokey and the Bandit (1977) Give us a Diablo sandwich, a Dr. Pepper, and make it quick!
Our double-feature drive-in special continues with our first feature from 1977, Smokey and the Bandit. Sure this was a little before our time but we remember loving it as kids when it was rented or appeared on TV. How can this movie go wrong? It has Burt Reynolds, Sally Field, Jerry Reed, and of course, the most quotable Sheriff to ever grace the big screen, Buford T. Justice played by the late and great Jackie Gleason. Throw in a 70s Trans-AM, car chases, and stunts and we're sold. So please join us as we go back and watch the highest-grossing comedy of the 70s, Smokey and the Bandit.

Beverly Hills Cop Trivia from our Live YouTube Broadcast Recording. We go over the 1984 production that seemed to be a fun experience for everyone minus a stunt man or two.

Doesn't matter, there are a lot of funny and interesting things about this production.

Beverly Hills Cop (1984) Outdated & Overrated or 80s Royalty?
Nothing beats the 80's when it comes to movies and nothing says 80's movies like 1984's "Beverly Hills Cop". Join us as we go back and watch a film that dominated the Box Office with laughs and all-out action. We have to admit, our hopes are high for this movie even though we have not seen it in a long time. But what can be better than Eddie Murphy in the 80s? Our only fear is that this movie might be outdated and seriously overrated. But with a cast that includes Ronny Cox, Judge Reinhold, John Ashton, Jonathan Banks & a ton more, we are confident this movie is still great. We're pretty sure this movie is still great. We hope this movie is still great. Let's cross our fingers and find out.

Judge Dredd (1995) Passing Judgement on a 90s Comic Book Movie
We haven't always had a lot of luck in the 90s, especially when it comes to comic book movies. And if critics were right back then, this one might not change that trend. We don't remember much about this movie but we have high hopes. A cool comic, with a big budget, with Sylvester Stallone, and Rob Schneider as the comic relief. It also stars Diane Lane, Max Von Sydow and what seems like an overqualified actor in the role of VILLIAN via Armand Assante. How could this be bad?

Showgirls (1995) Super Campy Cult Classic or One of the Worst Movies of the 90s?
Remember 1995’s Showgirls starring Jessie Spano from Saved By The Bell? Elizabeth Berkley went from schoolgirl “Goody Goody Bookworm” to “Sociopath Stripper” overnight. It also starred the Twin Peaks dude, Kyle MacLachlan, and the beautiful, super-talented actress, Gina Gershon. It was directed by the same guy who gave us RoboCop, Total Recall, and Basic Instinct. This movie was stacked. But this movie was ravaged by Critics And Audiences alike in the 90s. We remember thinking it wasn’t as bad as the 13 Razzie Nomination (still a record today) and the 7 wins it received. But we haven’t seen this movie since the 90s and now we're not sure. So join us as we go back to 1995 and watch a film with so much talent behind it and so much hate against it to see why we remember liking it.

Some, meaning this one, is widely regarded as the worst Batman movie ever made but maybe one of the worst superhero movies ever made. Nay, one of the worst movies ever made.

Revenge of the Nerds (1984) Problematic? Misogynistic? Funny?
Do you remember the comedy classic Revenge of the Nerds? We have seen this movie more than once but it has been a long time since our last viewing. It's also said that this movie has not aged well in our current political climate which makes us even more excited to preview and review it. Come to think of it, we can remember a few scenes that might be a little problematic. We can remember a few scenes that might be a little misogynistic. We can also remember a few funny and downright hilarious scenes. But we won't know until we watch it again and find out for sure. So please join us as we head back to 1984 and watch Lewis, Gilbert, Booger, Takashi, Poindexter, Lamar, and Wormser get into some serious raunchy 80's hijinks, all while we quote our friend Ogre in loudly declaring, "NERDS!"

Death Wish (1974) Liberalism, Vigilantism & 70's Stereotypes
Ever seen the movie about the guy who can't find justice and decides to take the law into his own hands? We've seen hundreds of them too! Well, get ready as we go back to where it all began. Charles Bronson kicked off the modern vigilante movie craze that spawned countless imitators that still fill our TV screens to this day. So join us as we go back to 1974 and the tough gang-infested streets of New York. Where muggers and thugs dressed like caricatures and spoke in even worse stereotypes. When the law was useless and the only justice a man could find was himself. By shedding his liberal wussiness, picking up a gun, and start pulling the trigger in the direction of every scumbag, rascal, and ruffian they saw. We can't wait to watch it and then dole out our very own form of justice as we lay a smackdown-type vigilante review on this MoFo...

Silver Bullet (1985) Werewolf Vs Gary Busey, Let's Get It On!
Remember the 1985 Werewolf movie Silver Bullet? We remember liking this movie. It's based on a Stephen King Story. It stars 80s Heartthrobe Corey Haim. It has a Werewolf on a killing spree. And it has one of the internet's favorite Meme sources, Gary FREAKING Busey! So this kid thinks he sees a Werewolf, but no one believes him but his sister. So for the rest of the film, the Werewolf is trying to kill the nosey brat who just won't shut up about a Werewolf living among them. We don't know what is scarier, the Werewolf or Gary Busey looking after kids. Doesn't matter, sign us up and let's go back to the 80s.

Do you remember the 90's Girl Power Action Extravaganza "Tank Girl"? We have not seen this movie since the 90's but we do remember Lori Petty being Tank Girl and Ice-T being a grumpy Kangaroo Mutant, so it's got that going for it. Throw in Malcolm McDowell as the Big Boss Villian and some Naomi Watts and we might have some good old-fashioned 90's Nostalgia Comic Book Movie Goodness. Or all of the above may be the reason we have not watched this movie since the 90's. Oh Yeah, we totally forgot Naomi Watts was in this movie too.

The Lair of the White Worm (1988) How did he keep a Mongoose hidden in his Kilt?
A young Hugh Grant, a Doctor Who, a sexy Amanda Donohoe, some kind of Snake Vampire things, a hidden Mongoose in a kilt, some of the most bizarre visions and dream sequences, and you got a movie. Then throw in two handfuls of plot holes, bad writing, bad acting, and a barely coherent storyline and you got this movie.

Do you remember the 1997 Rom-Com with a twist and douchey protagonist with multiple toxic relationships? We thought we did but we don't think that we do. In all honesty, one of us is not even excited about watching this film. But that's not going to stop us from watching it and then reviewing it.

Red Heat (1988) East Meets West of the 80s Buddy Cop Movies
In the 1980s a handful of actors ruled the Action Genre. And one of the biggest, if not the biggest of that decade was the star of this movie, Arnold Schwarzenegger. Red Heat is a buddy cop movie with one major twist to the formula. While the unpredictable crazy Big City Cop is pretty standard to the formula, the other buddy in this movie is from Russia. Now that's “Zabavnyy”. James Belushi co-stars, so humor with a hint of "unpredictability" that is totally predictable, is probably guaranteed. Add some over-the-top action, a handful of one-liners galore, and at least a dozen reasons Arnold’s character ends up in situations that cause him to become shirtless, and presto, we got an 80s action flick we couldn't be more excited to watch. So let's go, Comrades!

Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978) Classic or Over Hyped Duplicate?
Do you remember Invasion of the Body Snatchers from 1978? This is one of many versions but we think this might be the best. Even though 70s movies are grittier and can be known to be very bleak, we still remember this movie being very good. Now it has been a very long time since we've seen this film but It’s directed by Philip Kaufman and stars 70s talent like Donald Southerland, Brooke Adams, Veronica Cartwright, the always eccentric and awesome Jeff Goldblum, and of course Spock from Star Trek. Beam us up.

Empire Records (1995) A Heavy Serving of Nostalgia & a Kick-Ass Soundtrack Please!
Critics hated it. Audiences loved it. We remember liking it but it has been a long time. We know it takes place in a Music Store and stars Renee Zellweger, Liv Tyler, Rory Cochrane, Ethan Embry, and Robin Tunney, with plenty of other 90s favorites. So we are betting (read: HOPING) on Nostalgia to be high in this movie because we're counting on a kick-ass soundtrack and an ass load of 90s fashion we might not want to remember. So bring on 1995 when MTV played music videos, a bag of Doritos with a 2L Mountain Dew was considered a meal, and every teen wanted to work in a Music Store. Bring on Empire Records!

So join us as we go back to the 80s and watch some hot women, bar brawls & mullets. If we remember correctly, this just might be the most 80s action movie ever! We remember the story being super ridiculous. We remember the action was so over the top. We remember the one-liners were delivered with such cheesy bravado and we remember a lot of 80s hair. My God the 80s hair. Need we say more? Well, we do because we're also going to watch Road House 2024 starring Jake Gyllenhall, and then compare them. Let the Ass Whoppings commence.

The Beastmaster (1982) A PG-rated Boobfest with Plenty of Sword Fights and No Blood
Do you remember the Beastmaster from 1982? Of course, you do. It was on TBS & HBO every other hour, 7 days a week during the 80s and then one day it was gone, never to be seen again. So join us as we go back to a time when scantly clad women (Tanya Roberts) were kidnapped on the daily by evil cult leaders (Rip Torn) and then heroes (Marc Singer) had to go and rescue them while talking to tigers and eagles because, well he is the Beastmaster. Oh yeah, his best friends were a pair of ferrets. This movie boasts a decent budget that is nowhere to be seen. A story and plot that did not attend the same meetings. Acting and dialogue that would rival any high school stage production. And a PG rating with boobs a-plenty and an abundance of sword fights with no blood in sight. We are so excited.

A great Director & Screenwriter and it is based on a Stephen King book, what can go wrong? Well, the reviews aren't that great, the Box Office was not that good and that is just the beginning. We were surprised at the lackluster preview and we were even more surprised that we didn't exactly agree on the overall quality of this film. Join us as we go back to 2003 and watch a movie about an Alien invasion, a group of friends, a military quarantine, a supernatural mystery, a possession, an escape, a chase, a lot of gross bowel movements, the meaning of bad acting, bad writing, and bad pacing. This movie has a lot to unpack.

Whiteout (2009) - Trudging Through Snowy Plot Holes & Less Than Glacial Thrills
We remember liking 2009's Whiteout starring Kate Beckinsale. Apparently, we don't know what we are talking about since it is sitting at Rotten Tomatoes with 7%, That's not a typo, it's at 7%, So what are we missing? We remember it had a good cast, a great lead, an interesting story, and an awesome backdrop. Join us, Ana and Jimmy, as we traverse the sub-zero escapades of "Whiteout" with Kate Beckinsale, whose US Marshal character doesn't let a little frostbite interfere with her impeccable style. With wit sharper than the Antarctic wind, we riff on the movie's logic-defying moments, from Beckinsale's pristine appearance to the baffling choice to exclude shower scenes in an environment that's anything but tropical. Beyond the giggles, we take a genuine look at the film's noteworthy cast, including Tom Skerritt and Alex O'Loughlin, and the unique challenges of life at an Antarctic outpost, all while comparing the film to other isolation horror flicks.
Have you ever wondered why a film can leave critics and audiences ice cold? We ponder the same as we sift through the frosty critical reception of "Whiteout," juxtaposing it with audience reviews that run the gamut from icy disdain to less-than-warm praise. Stick around as we carve through the movie's layers, starting with a Russian plane crash and segueing into Deputy US Marshal Kerry Stetco's backstory. We analyze the plot's snowy slips and slides and chuckle at the clichéd flashbacks that are supposed to chill our spines but instead raise our eyebrows. Don't forget to zip up your parka as we scrutinize the climax's improbable twists, musing over diamond smuggling schemes and murder mysteries that are more slippery than they appear.
As we wrap up our frosty film discussion, we consider the pros and cons of adding "Whiteout" to your watchlist. Is it a diamond in the rough or just ice masquerading as a gem? Sure, we may regret not renting over buying, but there's a certain charm to a thriller that chugs along like a snowmobile in need of a tune-up. Whether you think the movie is a blizzard of excitement or more like a drizzle of doldrums, we invite you to button up your coat and join the debate. Find out if "Whiteout" will leave you with the chills—or if it will just leave you out in the cold.

And don't forget Mabel, whose character gets a special shoutout—because what's a horror flick without memorable townsfolk?
So grab your hard hat and a loved one—preferably not a pickaxe murderer—and get ready to unpack the twists and turns of the miner's bloodstained saga. They dissect the film's chilling climax, the reveal of the miner's identity, and the spine-tingling escape that leaves us wanting more.

That's exactly what happened when Ana & Jimmy plunged back into the blood-drenched corridors of the 2009 slasher hit "My Bloody Valentine 3D." Join them as they reminisce about the film's notorious 3D effects, which had them wishing they were ducking pickaxes that seemed to want to fly right off the screen. From the star-studded cast, featuring talents like Jensen Ackles and Jamie King, to Patrick Lussier's directional chops, they unpack the elements that made this film a gore-filled roller coaster ride.
Then, they talk about the gorilla in the room – or should we say, the gratuitous nudity?

The discussion even gets heated as the film's infamous Valentine's Day massacre, but they promise it's all in good fun.
For the grand finale, they don't hold back on their thoughts about the narrative's suspenseful twists and the reveal that made one rethink everything they thought they knew. They dissect the backstory of Harry Warden's rampage and the suspenseful uncertainty that blankets the town.

So, if you're looking for a heart-pounding adventure with a side of nostalgia, you've struck blood, or er-gold, with this episode.

From the chemistry between Hanks and Ryan, the unforgettable Lloyd Bridges to Dan Hedaya's unforgettable scene-stealer, their discussion is anything but mundane. So hop aboard for a lively journey through the highs and lows of this island adventure, and find out where they ultimately rate "Joe Versus the Volcano" on the scale of beloved cult classics.

Van Helsing (2004) Fangs, Fur, & Follies in a Gothic Romp Down Memory Lane
Ever find yourself chuckling at the memory of early 2000s CGI, where werewolves looked like they needed a flea bath and Dracula's brides were more melodrama than menace? That's where we found ourselves in a fit of giggles as we revisited the notorious "Van Helsing." Your hosts, Ana and Jimmy, guide you through a monster mash-up that's equal parts nostalgia trip and roast session. We marvel at the ambitious spectacle, tackle the hilariously campy plot, and reflect on the film's place in the CGI hall of fame—or shame, depending on who you ask.
Grab your garlic and silver bullets, because we're about to dissect the details of this undead adventure. Anna Valerius's bombshell introduction is just the tip of the iceberg as we navigate a labyrinth of convoluted plots, laughable action sequences, and that one time Van Helsing tried to be subtle with Victorian knockout gas. Our commentary zigzags between the film's earnest attempt at gothic horror and the side-splitting reality of its execution.
Ending on a note of amused appreciation, we acknowledge that while "Van Helsing" might not be a cinematic tour de force, it's got enough cheesy charm and special effects bravado to warrant a watch—preferably with a group of friends who appreciate a good creature feature. Sit back and enjoy as we dissect every over-the-top moment with a blend of irreverence and affection, proving that sometimes the best films are the ones that invite a hearty laugh at their own expense.

Snowboarding mishaps, mechanical bulls, and the nostalgia of early 2000s humor—strap in as Jimmy Coates and Ana Santos take a trip back to a time when baggy snow pants were all the rage and punk rock ruled the soundtrack. Our latest episode careens down the slopes of memory to revisit "Out Cold," a film that's part comedy, part snowboarding extravaganza, and maybe a cult classic. We’re laughing our way through the standout scenes and cringeworthy moments alike that have kept this movie lodged in the hearts who loved it and those who didn't have just left it in the past like an old lift ticket in a winter coat pocket.
Zach Galifianakis's hot tub escapades, the stark contrast between critics' scoffs and audiences' chuckles, with potty humor, token black characters, and other 2000s stereotypes—this movie has it all, and we’re breaking down why it still elicits such a warm, if not slightly embarrassed, glow. We're not ignoring the elephant in the room, though: we grapple with the movie's more problematic elements, sifting through outdated slang and questionable plot points with the kind of care one might take while navigating a mogul field on a snowboard.
To wrap up our powdery plunge, we take a goggle-eyed look at how this film lands its jumps and faceplants in equal measure. Whether it's worth a watch on your next lazy streaming binge, or best left in the past along with your old snowboarding VHS tapes, we've got our hot take ready. And a heads-up: you might encounter some language that didn’t age as well as the memories. Join us for this episode that’s like the après-ski to your day: full of laughs, good company, and just a touch of cringe.

Money Train (1995) Hopping Aboard the Memory Express with a 90s Heist Movie
Ever find yourself reminiscing about those '90s action flicks that peppered your youth with equal parts adrenaline and cheese? Well, saddle up for a throwback ride with Anna and Jimmy, as they circle back to the 1995 heist movie "Money Train." With Woody Harrelson, Wesley Snipes, and Jennifer Lopez leading the charge, we revisit the thrills, spills, and yes, the considerable amount of cringe-worthy moments that made this film a mixed bag of action-packed nostalgia.
They get real about the ambitious budget and box office reception, which, by the way, didn't quite match up. Their chat meanders through the film's plot—or at least what they can remember of it—and they can't help but chuckle over the one-liners and the dated racial dynamics that seem more out of sync now than ever. The chemistry between Harrelson and Snipes gets its due spotlight, as does Lopez's somewhat solitary strut on screen. But don't let their foggy memories fool you; they've got the nitty-gritty on those climactic scenes and the impressive train derailment effects that'll have you rethinking how much you loved (or didn't) this '90s gem.
Wrapping things up with a bang, they ponder the legacy "Money Train" has left behind and whether it withstands the test of time—or if, like many trains, it's simply due to be retired. From the brutal fight choreography to the nighttime filming challenges in New York, they unpack it all, leaving you with either a renewed appreciation for this blast from the past or a firm reasoning as to why some movies should probably stay in the last century. So, hop on board as they dissect this cinematic artifact, and don't forget to hit play for a journey filled with action, nostalgia, and a healthy dose of reality checks.

Terror Train (1980) All Aboard for Nostalgia on Rails with a side of WTF?
Ever wondered if those films that spooked us as kids still have the power to make us sleep with the lights on? Join Anna and Jimmy as we climb aboard the nostalgia train with "Terror Train," the cult classic that once had us hiding behind our popcorn. Get ready to dissect the highs and lows, mostly lows, of this 80s horror, from its mishandled marketing to its eerily quiet killer, in our latest episode.
We can't help but chuckle at the outdated antics and horror clichés that "Terror Train" throws in abundance our way, but there's a strange charm in revisiting the quirks of yesteryear's slashers. Did the graduation party from hell deliver the chills we expected, or did the suspense get lost somewhere along the tracks? We take a magnifying glass to the film's pacing, character development, and the fascinating resilience of its villain, all while questioning the logic that seems as absent as a helpful conductor during a crisis.
Finally, we wrap things up with a critical eye on the film's climactic showdown, where we find ourselves rooting for the heroine amidst the implausible twists. Between laughing at how the killer must have a secret stash of nine lives and reminiscing about the days when handwritten notes were a lifeline to communication, we're all aboard for a trip down memory lane. So grab your earbuds and settle in for an episode that promises thrills, spills, and a fair share of eye-rolls.

Join us as we go back and see how this film stacks up against the long list of childhood favorites from one of the more prolific movie makers of the 80s and 90s.

Weekend At Bernie's II & Mannequin 2 On The Move
Our first Drive-In Double Feature and we’re watching sequels to two Movies we have already watched and reviewed. We’re going back to 1993 & 1991 to watch Weekend At Bernies II and then Mannequin 2 On The Move. We really don’t remember a lot about these movies but are hopes (even if misplaced) are high.

Grizzly (1976)
Do you remember the 1976 movie and Jaws Doppelganger, GRIZZLY? Of course, you don’t. But it was the most successful independent movie at the time and a Drive-In Favorite. So join us as we go back and watch the movie critics called “ A rip-off of Spielberg's Classic” but with nowhere near the budget or talent. Good times are surely ahead.
Do You Remember Liking This Movie?
House of Wax (2005)
Remember House of Wax from 2005? No. So you remember that horror movie that Paris Hilton was in from 2005? There you go. Join us as we go back and watch Elisha Cuthbert, Chad Michael Murray, and Jared Padalecki as they visit the horrifying and dreadful, HOUSE OF WAX! We’re really hoping it’s scarier than we just made it sound.

Just One of the Guys (1985)
Do you Remember the 1985 Comedy “Just One of the Guys”? Girl wants to win some sort of writing contest. Girl loses. Girl suspects sexism. Girl becomes Boy for reasons that we don't remember but we suspect crazy and whacky 80s hijinks ensue.
Do You Remember Liking This Movie?
Breakdown (1997)
The 90s were not short on Action or Thriller movies. That being said, remember the 1997 Action Thriller Breakdown? Sure you do. It starred Kurt Russell as a guy who loses his wife. Not like when you misplace your keys or lose the TV remote. Like his wife is abducted and he has to find out who took her and where she is. Well we have to find out if this 90s Action Thriller is as good as we remember.
Do You Remember Liking This Movie?
Jaws 2 (1978)
Do you remember Jaws 2? Sure you do. It's the one in between Spielberg's Masterpiece and that 3D pile of 80s cheese. This one has the same sheriff battling another Great White, what are the chances? He has to rescue a bunch of teens sailing in the Atlantic, without motors, and without radios. Wow, the 70s was full on innocence and stupidity.
Do You Remember Liking This Movie?
Ghost Ship (2002)
Remember 2002’s Ghost Ship? Full disclosure, we really only remember the beginning. But what a freaking beginning it was! The cruise ship, the people dancing and then the thing with the wire. Super Gross. So let’s watch Julianna Margulies, Gabriel Byrne, Ron Eldard, Karl Urban & Emily Browning try to catch ghosts or fight them or escape them. We’re not sure exactly. But we can’t wait to find out.
Do You Remember Liking This Movie?
Role Models (2008)
Remember 2008’s Role Models starring Paul Rudd and Sean William Scott? We remember that it was funny, back then. We kind of remember the role-playing nerd and the little kid with the potty mouth. And the weird but funny Program Director that is Jane Lynch. Actually, we remember this movie being downright hilarious. So let’s go back to 2008 and watch Role Models and see if it’s still as funny as we remember. Fingers Crossed.
Do You Remember Liking This Movie?
Return To Horror High (1987)
Remember Return to Horror High. We don’t remember a lot either. But from what we could verify & remember, this is a horror movie within a horror movie, with flashbacks about a horrifying incident that the horror movie being filmed is about but not the first part of the horror movie we are watching, the actual horror movie story itself. Confused yet? Well on top of all that, it has like, a triple twist ending.
Do You Remember Liking This Movie?
Stephen King's Graveyard Shift (1990)
Remember 1990’s Stephen King Adaptation of Graveyard Shift? We remember liking it but don’t remember a whole lot about it. We know it has some familiar faces. A mutant creature. A field mouse or two and some shift work. We are so excited to watch it but truth be told, after hearing that this might be Stephen King’s least favorite story to movie, we’re a little concerned.
Do You Remember Liking This Movie?
Mannequin (1987)
Remember the Oscar Nominated Film Mannequin from 1987? Neither do we. Are you wondering if the Oscar Nod was for the totally gnarly story of a Mannequin coming to life and inspiring a young artist to make the most bitching department store window displays, or if it was for the wicked and totally radical acting? It was neither. It was for the movie's original song, which if said out loud, would be so “barf me out” and “grody” that you’d “gag on a spoon”.
Do You Remember Liking This Movie?
Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead (1991)
Remember the movie Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead? No. Well, do you remember Christina Applegate? Thought so. Join us as we go back to and watch as four siblings have to fend for themselves all summer when the babysitter dies or something. It's 1991 when arcades were cool, video stores were the only way to binge movies and faxes took like 5 minutes to send, per page.
Do You Remember Liking This Movie?
Red Dawn (2012)
Remember the Red Dawn Remake, or was it a Reboot? Well, neither do we. So we're going to watch it and then review it. Then we're going to compare it to the 1984 version. So which Red Dawn is better? Is it the one starring Mr. Dirty Dancing himself or the one with the Mighty Thor in it?
Do You Remember Liking This Movie?
Red Dawn (1984)
Remember the 1984 Action Fantasy, Red Dawn? We watched this one a lot back in the day and remember it being super kick-ass as kids. But we haven't seen this one in a long time so we aren't sure how it has aged. So join us as we go back to 84 and see if this is still a Childhood Classic or another Childhood memory destroyed.
Do You Remember Liking This Movie?
Hackers (1995)
Remember the Technological Masterpiece film starring Angelina Jolie that was full of cutting-edge graphics, computer hacking goodness, cool-as-hell hacker aliases, and a plot so futuristic they might of very well predicted the iPhone and PS5? Yeah, we don’t remember it either. So join us as we go back and watch 1995’s Hackers and find out why we remember liking it.
Do You Remember Liking This Movie?
Mystery Alaska (1999)
Remember Mystery Alaska from 1999? Neither do we. Not really. We do remember it might have had a little Hockey in it. And that it had a stellar cast that included Russel Crowe, Burt Reynolds, Mary McCormack, and Hank Azaria among others.
Do You Remember Liking This Movie?
Leprechaun (1993)
Do you remember the Movie Leprechaun from 1993? We don't remember a lot about it either. We do remember that it starred Jennifer Aniston. And it had a Leprechaun too.
Do You Remember Liking This Movie?
Curse & Cult of Chucky Double Feature
It's Double Feature Time and we're watching Curse of Chucky and Cult of Chucky. We haven't seen either direct VOD/Streaming movies. But with head-scratching high Rotten Tomatoes scores and both films sitting at the top of a bunch of ranked Chucky Movie Lists, we are now wondering why?
Do You Remember Liking This Movie?
Steel Dawn (1987)
Do you remember Steel Dawn starring legend Patrick Swayze? This movie is set in a post-apocalyptic future where people have forgotten or don’t know how to use guns and instead use swords. This future also decided to keep hairstyles from 80s metal hair bands in style and they also decided not to preserve any type of gas-running vehicle and opted for a new type of futuristic go-kart. This all sounds good on paper but we’re starting to have doubts. Like serious doubts.
Do You Remember Liking This Movie?
Sleepaway Camp (1983)
Do you remember the movie Sleepaway Camp? That's okay, we don't remember a whole lot about it either. So join us as we go back to 1983 and watch this slasher film that takes place at a summer camp. Sound familiar? Is it a hidden gem or a Friday the 13th rip?
Do You Remember Liking This Movie?
Encino Man (1992)
Do you remember Encino Man from 1992? We remember liking this movie but it has been a long time. Brendan Fraser, Sean Astin, and Pauly Shore Oh My! This was Brendan Fraser's Motion Picture Debut and surprisingly not Pauly Shore's. Is this a long-lost 90s gem or a movie that is too 90s to even still like? Join us as we find out.
Do You Remember Liking This Movie?
Heathers (1989)
Remember 1989's HEATHERS with Christian Slater & Winona Ryder? We barely remember it as well. We do remember that it was violent, like really out there & violent. Like nothing we had ever seen before back then. This was not a John Hughes high school movie and we can't remember if that was a good or bad thing. But we are so excited to find out.
Do You Remember Liking This Movie?
The Craft (1996)
Do you remember liking 1996's The Craft? Remember that it starred Neve Campbell, Robin Tunney, Rachel True & Fairuze Balk. Yeah, some of us had trouble pronouncing her name as well. Can a movie about four outcast girls in high school who want to become witches, from the 90s, with no smartphones still be any good? We're about to find out.
Do You Remember Liking This Movie?
Slither (2006)
Do you remember James Gunn before he was picked to run the DC Movie Universe? We do too! We remember that he wrote for Troma, both Scooby-Doo movies, and the Dawn of the Dead remake but we also remember that he made his directorial debut with SLITHER. Remember the one that was really gross and starred Nathan Fillion, Elizabeth Banks, Michael Rooker & Greg Henry? We remember loving this quirky super gory and funny horror movie. With an awesome writer and director and a stacked cast, it's just gotta be as good as we remember it, right???
Do You Remember Liking This Movie?
Idle Hands (1999)
Do you remember the 1999 horror/comedy Idle Hands? You might not because it bombed hard in the theater. But you might be just like us and you rented it from a video store. Remember those? Well, this movie has Seth Green, and Jessica Alba, the guy from Daredevil, not the actual Daredevil guy but the nerdy legal partner guy, and that other guy from Final Destination is in it too. So we're going to talk about what we remember about this weekend rental from 99 and then watch it again and see if it is as good as we remember.
Do You Remember Liking This Movie?
American Pie 2 (2001)
Remember American Pie 2? We remember that it came right after the first American Pie movie and not a whole lot else. We do remember that we laughed a lot while we watched it all the way back in 2001 but that doesn't mean a whole lot when 21 years have passed. This was our second test episode and we hoped you keep that in mind when you listen to it.
Do You Remember Liking This Movie?
Weekend At Bernie's (1989)
Do you remember the 1989 classic comedy Weekend At Bernie's? We remember loving this movie. This is a special episode because this was the first recorded episode we did as a test episode. We fixed it as much as possible and really hope that you enjoy it.
Do You Remember Liking This Movie?
Black Christmas (1974)
Do you remember Black Christmas from 1974? The only thing we actually remember is that it was really creepy. Is it as creepy as we remember? Join us as we go back, way back to 1974, and reminisce in a year where Happy Days had just started. A year when Roger Moore was James Bond. A year where kids were actually asking for BB Guns and Rock'em Sock'em Robots for Christmas. A year that neither of us was even born. This should be fun.
Do You Remember Liking This Movie?
Black Christmas (2006)
Do you remember the remake of Black Christmas from 2006? Well, one of us has seen it and one of us has not. This is our second present and it seems we are all in for a treat. Riddled with studio interference, and a deceptive and inaccurate trailer. Raked over the coals by critics, and ridiculed by audiences. Add in a director who would retire after the whole experience and we just might have the best Christmas present of the season.
Do You Remember Liking This Movie?
Black Christmas (2019)
Do you Remember the 2019 version of Black Christmas? It wasn't that long ago so you really should. But maybe you're like one of our hosts who hasn't even seen it. Our third and final Black Christmas movie is a complete reimaging of the classic and we couldn't be more excited. How can someone terrorize a whole school campus in this day and age of technology? Well, we're about to find out. Join us as we unwrap our third and final movie present.
Do You Remember Liking This Movie?
Just Friends (2005)
Do you remember liking the movie Just Friends with Ryan Reynolds and Anna Faris? Do you remember that it was a Holiday movie? Do you remember how politically incorrect this movie was? Neither did we. Join us as we try to remember why we thought this movie was so ridiculously funny back in the day and then see if it's just as funny now.
Do You Remember Liking This Movie?
Ernest Saves Christmas (1988)
Remember Ernest Saves Christmas? Neither do we. But we know it came out in 1988 when the Nintendo Entertainment System, Micro Machines, and the 1st Collectable Happy Holidays Barbie were circled in Christmas Catalogues by kids everywhere. We know the movie was peppered with other characters played by Jim Varney, recurring characters from other Ernest movies, and Santa.
Do You Remember Liking This Movie?
Halloween H2O (1998)
Do you call it Halloween H-2-O or H-Twenty? Us too. In this episode we Remember liking the 1999 return of Laurie Strode to the Halloween Franchise to do battle with the Shape again. But was it really as good as we remember, or were we just happy to get any type of Michael Myers mayhem they would throw at us back then?
Do You Remember Liking This Movie?
Arachnophobia (1990)
Remember liking the creepy crawly 1990 classic Arachnophobia? We do too. But we don't remember why. So join us as we try to recall what we remember liking about these little eight legged bastards running amuck in a small town U.S.A. Then we'll watch it and then see if it's as good as we remember.
Do You Remember Liking This Movie?
Friday the 13th (1980 VS 2009) Part 1
Remember liking Friday the 13th from 1980 and the one from 2009. We do too, but we don’t remember why. So we’re watching them again and seeing if they’re as good as we remember. Then we’re going to decide which one is the better movie through a scientific debate using a series of carefully crafted rating tools. Just kidding. We’ll argue and make fun of both.
Do You Remember Liking This Movie?
Friday the 13th (1980 VS 2009) Part 2
It was a double feature so it's a two parter. We have now watched them and are ready to report if they are as awesome as we remember or if one or both suck. We will also decide which is the better Friday the 13th. Unless they both suck. Then we'll decide which is the suckiest of the two, which would make the less suckier version the winner. We think.
