A certified childhood classic we all loved as children VS a competent sequel? or absolute trash? Find out as we deep dive into Hocus Pocus 1 and 2! Warning: the following ep[isode is for some reason our most vulgar, the longest episode we've ever done, and also the start of our Halloween month, soooo there's a lot going on, buckle up. - Andy

In this spooky season episode of Fried Rice Podcast, we kicked off our Halloween lineup with the classic Hocus Pocus (1993), and it was a nostalgic treat. We had a blast reminiscing about our childhood memories, like being a bit spooked by Bette Midler’s eccentric witch performance or secretly crushing on Sarah Jessica Parker’s character. The nostalgia hit hard as we revisited the film’s campy charm, and we found ourselves genuinely enjoying the blend of humor, fantasy, and Halloween spirit that makes Hocus Pocus such a timeless staple for the season.

Despite the love we have for it, there were some mixed feelings when it came to the humor and pacing. Some of the jokes felt a bit corny when watched with adult eyes, but we agreed that’s also what adds to its charm. The festive atmosphere, with its cheesy one-liners and over-the-top witch antics, still made us smile. We even joked about how the Sanderson sisters would probably be social media stars if they were around today. In the end, we gave it a solid B—Hocus Pocus may not be perfect, but it’s an endearing, nostalgic classic that gets us in the Halloween spirit every time. -AI

Go Go Double Dragons, Dooouble Dragons! Go Go Double Dragons! - Andy

In this episode of Fried Rice Podcast, we took on the hilariously chaotic Double Dragon (1994), a movie that felt like a bizarre mix of Mad Max, Power Rangers, and 90s video game nostalgia. The over-the-top villains, especially Robert Patrick’s bleach-blonde bad guy, had us laughing throughout, and the absurd fight scenes, like the infamous gumball machine slip-up, just added to the ridiculousness. While we had fun mocking the movie’s cheesy action and nonsensical plot, we agreed it was more of a so-bad-it’s-good kind of experience. The final grade was a D, though we appreciated its unintentional comedy. -AI Overlord

Austin recommended both SLC, Punk! movies this week, which is honestly the most punk thing ever because he knew it was going to piss of his "dad", Michael Larsen, and he fucking did it anyway! What's even more punk is he made us watch BOTH movies haha, Mike was NOT happy. - Andy

This episode of Fried Rice Podcast was a blast as we dove into the cult classic SLC Punk! (1998). We were all amped from the get-go, reminiscing about how this movie shaped our views during those younger, rebellious years. It was one of those rare films that spoke to an era and mindset we all went through, making it a nostalgic trip down memory lane as we shared stories of trying to live that punk lifestyle—minus the heroin, of course. It’s clear this movie still resonates, even though our lives have moved far from that chaotic energy.

While we had a lot of love for the film’s raw spirit, not everyone was on board with the way it portrayed punk culture. Some of us felt that the movie’s exaggerated approach came off as more of a caricature than a true tribute. It was fun and chaotic, but at times it felt like it was trying too hard to be edgy, almost as if it was ticking off a list of punk stereotypes. However, we all agreed that Matthew Lillard’s performance as Stevo was a highlight, especially during the emotional scenes where he struggles with the expectations placed on him by his family and society.

In the end, we all saw SLC Punk! as a time capsule of its era—full of rage, angst, and a surprisingly heartfelt message about finding your own path. Our grades reflected our varied takes, but the final average landed at a B-. It’s not a perfect film, but it’s undeniably memorable and still packs a punch for anyone looking to reconnect with their inner rebellious spirit.
