- Batman
We love our villains and urban hellscapes here on the Live Up Pod and Gotham's Joker gave us so much to discuss that at least one of us wondered whether we needed Batman at all. Also, we've been so generous lately with our Yes-It-Did-Live-Up designation that we added a little extra consequence for ourselves because we love low stakes drama. (And in case you're wondering this is for the 1989 version starring Michael Keaton)
No context link here for Prince's Batdance video. If you're thinking WTF then that's about right.

1 hr 16 min - A League of Their Own
In our defense, we were only cranky because we cherish this movie so much. We love our sportsball and strong female characters here on the Live Up Pod so complaints were registered and newfound heroes were anointed. #TeamKit

1 hr 12 min - Jaws
We are shocked to discover how close we are in age to unhinged ship captains and ancient moms. The 50th anniversary of the theatrical release of Jaws could not possibly go by without discussing whether it deserves the iconic status as the OG summer blockbuster.

1 hr 17 min - The Breakfast Club
Teens confess their trauma because what else do they have to do on a Saturday. We wonder who we relate to now and how much bullying is acceptable to enjoy watching this classic 40 years later!

1 hr 16 min - Willow
We go on a classic 80s quest and try to unsee the Lord of the Rings parallels. Also on the agenda are trauma scenes (you know the one) and Amanda once again needing to explain the appeal of a sexy leading man to the resident lesbian of the podcast.
Side note that we recorded this episode prior to Val Kilmer passing away. Rest in peace Madmartigan.

1 hr 20 min - Twins
The most memorable mismatched pair gets put to the nostalgia test and ONE of us was a little pearl clutchy about the premise. We present the case of whether our generation's love for Danny DeVito and Arnold Schwarzenegger can overcome the cringe parts

1 hr 8 min - Wayne's World
The 90s vibe is on point as we Party On through this episode. We remind ourselves of the wonders of cable access television and discuss how much of the humor still lands to our middle-age ears.

1 hr 8 min - When Harry Met Sally
We revisit the OG of neurotic New York romantic comedies and wonder whether ugly wagon wheel coffee tables and fake diner orgasms are still funny.
We reference this muppet diner scene parody and oh my it's worth a watch.

1 hr 1 min - The Year Without a Santa Claus
The annual tradition of Amanda making Jess watch unhinged Christmas movies she's never seen continues with another Rankin-Bass classic that makes us wish we were watching Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer instead. Our Christmas spirit may need a lift after seeing how whiny Santa can get.

50 min - Scrooged
It was the best of Bill Murray, it was the worst of Bill Murray, it was the age of VCRs....nope, wrong Dickens novel. Happy holidays to all the cynics out there. We give to you another class warfare story full of nostalgia for at least one of us.
Original script for Scrooged

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...
