- Back to the Future
Get our your flux capacitors and puffy vests because we are going back to the future, which is now our long ago past. We discuss whether the cringe of kissing your mom can be overcome by the sheer delight that is Christopher Lloyd as Doc Brown.
And great scott(!) here is a no context link relevant to this episode that you won't regret clicking on. You're welcome.

1 hr 12 min - The Cutting Edge
Where is the line between heartwarming charm and Hallmark-movie drivel? For one of us, these mismatched lovers skated into our hearts one toe pick at a time. And no, we’re not talking about Heated Rivalry.

53 min - Stand By Me
If there’s no pie vomit or leeches in unfortunate places, is it even a coming-of-age story? Somehow, we middle-aged ladies are still moved by dumb boys doing dumb things.
We also tip our hats to Rob Reiner, who gave us some of our most beloved cultural touchstones — including this movie. Rest in peace.

1 hr 15 min - Gremlins
It's not Christmas until mom throws a gremlin in a blender. We revisit what might be the first holiday horror movie to enter the chat and at least one of us wasn't a grinch about it.

1 hr 11 min - Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (RE-RELEASE)
We are re-releasing our top listened to episode which asks the question "what if Santa was a d*ck". We discuss just how far nostalgia can go for a movie to live up and what an interest in dentistry can be a euphemism for. This was our 2nd ever episode so excuse the amateur audio!

57 min - Planes, Trains & Automobiles
Gird your loins, fellow road warriors — we’ve got some travel anxiety for you! We revisit this classic holiday buddy comedy with Steve Martin and John Candy and ask: is it as funny as it should be or have the good times gone a bit off the rails?

1 hr 10 min - Beetlejuice (RE-RELEASE)
This October we are re-releasing our favorite spooky season episodes and BEETLEJUICE had a prescient prediction for the yet-to-be-released sequel (please excuse the amateur audio).
Who invited a pervy demon to our first encounter with death's beaurocracy? We found new things to appreciate about characters not named Beetlejuice and have some notes we're sure the producers of the sequel will take seriously...

1 hr 6 min - Ladybugs
This movie is an abomination. Some therapy via podcast was needed to process the cringiest movie we've reviewed yet and perhaps answer why Jess actually LIKED this movie as a kid. Why did we watch this, you ask? Well listeners, we were required to activate the self -imposed "The Ladybugs" clause, which stipulates that we watch this movie after we deem five movies in a row as living up. We have regrets.

59 min - The Addams Family (RE-RELEASE)
This October we are re-releasing our favorite spooky season episodes and THE ADDAMS FAMILY goes way back to the fourth one we published (please excuse the amateur audio).
In this episode we ask whether host Amanda Treat is a real life Wednesday Addams, and whether the movie experience boils down to basking in the essence of Anjelica Huston as Morticia.

1 hr - The Lost Boys (RE-RELEASE)
This October we are re-releasing our favorite spooky season episodes starting with THE LOST BOYS.
In this mid-stakes vampire movie a hot guy and a couple of Coreys run amok while we all secretly root for Kiefer Sutherland. Amanda also tries really hard to convince Jess why THE LOST BOYS is appealing to the ladies.
This was our second 'After Dark' selection where we take a look at the movies we absolutely should not have been watching as kids.

About Live UP
From the publisher's feed
We are re-watching films from our childhood to see if they live up! Our childhood was in the 80s-90s, but movie release dates can be outside of that window. In each episode we focus on one movie and will score whether it still lives up to us now that we're adults, and whether it would live up for kids today. It's all very scientific and professional.*
*narrator voice*
It's actually neither...
