Hey, Do You Remember...? episodes:

03.19.2021
All Good Things...
After eight years, it's time for Chris, Donna, and Carlos to say farewell. So on this episode, they're taking off the rose-tinted glasses for their own show and reminiscing about all of the ups and downs HDYR has experienced...
03.05.2021
Our Favorite Series Finales
The next episode of HDYR is going to be our last (for now), so we thought it would be fitting to take a look back at some of our favorite series finales and discuss what made them so...
02.19.2021
Batman Forever
After complaints that Batman Returns had been too traumatizing for younger viewers, Warner Bros. set a clear mandate for the next film in their flagship franchise: lighter, brighter, and more fun. Desperate to move away...
02.09.2021
A message from Chris, Donna, and Carlos
An important announcement from the HDYR gang.
02.05.2021
Dead Poets Society
Carpe Diem, friends! The three of us all remembered the iconic lines and moments peppered throughout Dead Poets Society, but not much else. It turns out there's a pretty good explanation for that. Peter Weir's film is...
01.22.2021
Dirty Dancing
We're having the time of our lives with one of the most requested titles in the history of this podcast. Yes, we swear - it's the truth! And we owe it all to you. Topics...

National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation
It’s a holiday classic that’s become quintessential viewing every holiday season, but at the time Warner Bros. wasn’t even sure they wanted another Vacation movie. After the lukewarm response to European Vacation, the studio spent...
11.26.2020
Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot
It's time to dig into this year's cinematic turkey and you'd be hard-pressed to find a more deserving title than Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot. It wasn't just a commercial disappointment upon its initial release, it's...
11.13.2020
Explorers
It should have been the next E.T. Instead, Explorers is a film that many of you have probably never even heard of. How is it that a sci-fi/adventure movie from the director of Gremlins and featuring the big...
10.30.2020
I Know What You Did Last Summer
Happy Halloween, friends! This year we're headed to the coastal town of Southport for a look back at I Know What You Did Last Summer. Loosely based on Lois Duncan's novel of the same name, it was the...
09.11.2020
Weird Science
The Breakfast Club and Weird Science were both released in 1985 and it's sort of apparent which one writer/director John Hughes was more invested in. Although he was well known for having an insanely fast turnaround time on his...
08.28.2020
A Knight's Tale
The marketing for A Knight's Tale sold the film as a raucous, rock 'n roll jousting movie. Although its anachronistic soundtrack features some pretty catchy needle drops, all of us walked away from this one feeling like...
08.14.2020
The Boy Who Could Fly
This one's probably a deep cut for some of our listeners, but there are probably just as many of you out there who remember when this was in constant rotation on The Disney Channel. The...
08.04.2020
The Best Movies That Were Never Made
Since we had to scrap the episode that we'd originally planned to release due to technical difficulties, we thought this was a fitting subject to explore. Hollywood history is loaded with so many interesting stories of...
07.22.2020
HDYR: Off The Clock - Double Features
The show will be back next week, but in the meantime we wanted to release something to help hold you over. This is one of our Off The Clock bonus episodes from Patreon where we each took turns...
06.26.2020
Twins
Twins wasn't technically Arnold Schwarzenegger's first foray into comedy, but it was the first time he was deliberately playing against type after establishing himself as an icon in the action genre. He also knew this was all a...
06.12.2020
Uncle Buck
Home Alone's meteoric success in the winter of 1990 took John Hughes by surprise. It also (for better or worse) set the latter half of his career down a slightly different path. So in some ways, 1989's Uncle...
05.29.2020
Demolition Man
When we revisited Judge Dredd for the podcast, we couldn't help but notice how much of it seemed like a less successful version of Demolition Man. Since then, we've been anxious to rewatch this one to see how...
05.15.2020
The Sixth Sense
M. Night Shymalan has become a somewhat controversial figure and he's certainly had his share of ups and downs as a filmmaker, but way back in 1999, no one was walking into The Sixth Sense with any preconceived...
05.01.2020
Space Jam
It's taken almost 25 years to get a Space Jam sequel off the ground and if you're wondering why Warner Bros. just wouldn't let it go, consider this - when you factor in all of the merchandising and licensing deals,...
04.03.2020
Hackers
The mid-90s saw a wave of cyber thrillers that seemed fearful and paranoid about the decade's emerging new technology - The Net, Johnny Mnemonic, Disclosure, Virtuosity, etc. At first glance, Hackers probably seemed like it was...
03.20.2020
Godzilla (1998)
Back in 1998, hearing that the team responsible for Independence Day was now mounting a big budget American remake of Godzilla was actually pretty exciting. There was a great teaser trailer, a chart-topping soundtrack album, and a genuine...
03.06.2020
Police Academy
Quite frankly, this franchise was a bit of a blur for all of us. Seven movies, a TV series, a Saturday morning cartoon... at a certain point it all starts to run together a little bit. And...
02.21.2020
Fast Times at Ridgemont High
We didn't intentionally pick two Amy Heckerling movies back-to-back, but it certainly made for an interesting comparison. On this episode, we're revisiting her imminently quotable debut feature - Fast Times at Ridgemont High. Although this frequently gets...
02.07.2020
Look Who's Talking
The late 80s and early 90s saw a deluge of movies and TV shows focused on working, single moms. Few films were able to capitalize on that niche as successfully as Look Who's Talking. On the surface,...
01.24.2020
Tremors
Considering that this original film wasn't a gigantic hit at the box office, you might be surprised to learn that the Tremors franchise is now six films deep (with a seventh on the way). Like the Graboids...
01.10.2020
Return to Oz
For those of us that were traumatized by this as kids, Return to Oz felt more like a shared psychosis than an actual movie. The whole thing just seemed too crazy to be real. But real it...
12.30.2019
Jerry Maguire
After the commercial disappointment of his second feature film Singles, director Cameron Crowe couldn't help but notice how many fair weather friends were disappearing now that he was no longer the hot new kid in town. That realization...
12.13.2019
Jingle All The Way
We were all just a little bit too old for this one when it came out, but we always receive so many requests for it this time of year. As you'll soon discover, we didn't even really choose...
11.28.2019
Judge Dredd
It's Thanksgiving here in the states and that means it's time for this year's cinematic turkey. And you'd be hard-pressed to find a film that's as overstuffed as 1995's Judge Dredd. If you were a fan of...
11.15.2019
The Terminator
To coincide with the release of the latest Terminator movie, we decided to go back to where it all began - James Cameron's 1984 classic The Terminator. Given how elaborate and grandiose this franchise became, it's easy...
10.31.2019
The Fly
Happy Halloween! Although David Cronenberg's 1986 remake of The Fly is more interested in exploring existential horrors, its central theme of transformation still made it feel like an appropriate pick for the holiday. It's gory, it's gruesome,...
10.18.2019
Addams Family Values
We're back from our hiatus and we can't wait to tell you all about our trip to Camp Chippewa! The first Addams Family movie was definitely a very successful update to this creepy & kooky clan, but we're of...
09.17.2019
Bonus Episode - Solo: A Star Wars Story
In case you missed the announcement at the end of our last episode, HDYR is on hiatus this month. We'll be back in October, but in the meantime we thought we'd share one of our Patreon episodes with...
08.30.2019
Risky Business
Although it sometimes gets relegated to being another run-of-the-mill 80s teen comedy, Risky Business actually has a lot more going for it. The visuals, the score, the writing... across the board, this is probably a lot more sophisticated than...
08.16.2019
Reservoir Dogs
Reservoir Dogs was matched by the amount of controversy it generated. This mean-spirited little movie made a great big impact on audiences and critics and it completely changed the landscape of independent cinema. A few of the edges...
08.02.2019
High Fidelity
High Fidelity has been on our list since the very first year of this podcast, so we knew all three of us were fans. What was interesting to discover though was just how dramatically our feelings about John Cusack's...
07.19.2019
Ocean's Eleven
The HDYR gang's playing like there's nothing to lose with a look back at Steven Soderbergh's 2001 remake of Ocean's Eleven. I know, I know... we can't believe this one's eligible either. Topics include: key differences between this...
07.12.2019
Introducing ROGUES GALLERY
Chris has teamed up with Kristen & Mike from The Sunnydale Stacks for a brand new podcast called Rogues Gallery. On each episode, they’ll investigate pop culture’s most memorable villains, antiheroes, and misunderstood monsters to figure out how...
07.05.2019
Top Gun
We're feeling the need for speed on this week's episode. Three decades later, Maverick remains one of the roles that Tom Cruise is most recognized for and the style of filmmaking that movies like this helped usher in is...
06.21.2019
My Girl
It's the movie traumatized a generation of children. Although it may not pack the same emotional punch now that we're all grown up, there's still a lot to love about My Girl. Topics include: how difficult it was to...
06.07.2019
First Blood
Nothing is over! Nothing! And as the recently released trailer for Rambo: Last Blood proves, that certainly applies to this franchise. But before the latest installment hits theaters this fall, we decided to go all the way back to...
05.24.2019
The Outsiders
A legendary director adapting a bestselling novel with a cast of soon-to-be A-list movie stars? How could you not be on board with this? As it turns out, Chris & Donna's love for S.E. Hinton's book made it...
05.10.2019
The Dark Crystal
We've been getting requests for this one ever since we covered Labyrinth five years ago. As you're about to discover, there's a pretty surprising reason it took this long. Nevertheless, the time has come to do a deep...
04.26.2019
Hellboy
Hard to believe this one’s eligible isn’t it? We had the same reaction. Of course part of that is that until very recently, there was still some small chance we might eventually get del Toro’s Hellboy III....
04.12.2019
The Fifth Element
Like Mr. Shadow itself, The Fifth Element was something of an anomaly when it hit theaters in 1997 - a $90 million sci-fi spectacular that wasn't based on a pre-existing property. While that's technically true, there were some...
03.29.2019
She's All That
Ugly duckling or beautiful swan? We find out with this look back at She's All That - a late 90s teen romcom that paved the way for a slew of similar movies. Carlos has been waiting patiently for his...
03.15.2019
D2: The Mighty Ducks
When we covered the first Mighty Ducks two years ago, we acknowledged that there was a pretty strong consensus that D2 was the superior film. It had also been at least twenty years since any of us had seen...
03.01.2019
Raiders of the Lost Ark
To celebrate our 150th episode, the HDYR gang decided it was time to go on a long overdue adventure with our old pal, Indy. Not unlike Star Wars, this property was such a constant in our lives that we've...
02.15.2019
Stand By Me
We've been getting requests for Stand By Me since this podcast launched and it's easy to see why. This is a film that seems tailor made for the premise of this show. One of the benefits to holding...
