September 11, 2023142. The Rescuers Down UnderWho's ready for a little outback adventure? Kevin and Chris revisit The Rescuers Down Under, the oft-forgotten Disney movie which sits snugly between The Little Mermaid and Aladdin, in the early days of Disney's animation renaissance. With Bob Newhart and Eva Gabor returning as those selfsame Rescuer mice Bernard and Bianca one last time (barring a new Bernard-only sequel—RIP Eva, but happy 94th Bob!), you hardly ever hear about this one, possibly because unlike its contemporaries, it's not a musical. Is its relative obscurity deserved? Or is this an under-heralded gem?...more1h 34minPlay
August 28, 2023141. PoirotKevin and Chris traipse back to the mid-90's, of PBS "Mystery!" vintage, to revisit one of Kevin's favorite childhood detective characters—Poirot, Agatha Christie's indefatigable, razor-sharp Belgian dandy investigator, complete with his trademark immovable mustache. Kevin presents two episodes of the classic series, featuring David Suchet as the titular detective....more1h 10minPlay
August 14, 2023140. FernGully: The Last RainforestKevin and Chris are joined by treasured returning guest Miranda to discuss FernGully: The Last Rainforest, a film which Disney executive Jeffrey Katzenberg attempted to pressure Robin Williams out of doing, on the grounds that his turn as the genie in Aladdin (which came out after this movie) would be crowded if he also portrayed the inimitable Batty Koda. Williams refused, however, joining Samantha Mathis, Tim Curry, Jonathan Ward, Grace Zabriskie, Tone Loc, and those daring young troubadours Cheech and Chong to lead an all-star cast. But of course, the vital question: was it any good?...more1h 9minPlay
July 31, 2023139. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990)In honor of the upcoming release of Perpetual Teenager Seth Rogen's take on Leonardo, Michelangelo, Donatello and the rest, Kevin brings Chris the former #1 turtle movie to reassess. Is it totally tubular or a major bummer? And which of our heroes has more Cowabunga Attitude? Peel the shell open and see!...more1h 28minPlay
July 17, 2023138. Video Games of the 80's and 90's Vol. 2Crash, boom, bang, it's time again! For summer fun, holed up in your shabbily carpeted living room, peering into the searing, unrelenting glare of a CRT television!

July 03, 2023137. The Flash (1990)With the hitherto disastrous release of THE FLASH (2023) still ongoing, and the Batman '89 topical content well already run dry here at Now We Know, Kevin looks back at the feature-length TV pilot for the 1990 The Flash series, starring John Wesley Shipp as the titular speedster. So how will it stack up, not against not just its contemporary edition, but also the early-90's Captain America? All your answers lie within....more1h 25minPlay
June 19, 2023136. The ScoutNow We Know's salute to Academy Award-winner Brendan Fraser (The Whale, 2022) continues with The Scout, the 1994 baseball comedy (alongside iconic funny man Albert Brooks) that lit up Comedy Central's daytime programming slots, but decidedly did not light up the box office or the heart or minds of film critics. Was the jaded public reception appropriate? Or is this a misunderstood gem? Only one way to find out—you know the drill....more1h 35minPlay
June 05, 2023135. The Little Mermaid (1989)Head on over to Patreon.com/nowweknow to find out what Kevin and Chris think of the new "live-action" Little Mermaid remake, in theaters now. That said, always thorough, this episode Kevin and Chris revisit Disney's 1989 classic The Little Mermaid, which kicked off their animation renaissance of the 1990's. Conventional wisdom says this is a stone cold classic, but then again, conventional wisdom has kept Peeps on our grocery store shelves for eight decades running. What's the truth? Find out inside....more1h 12minPlay
May 22, 2023134. MonkeyboneIt's Monkeybone night in America. After granting returning guest Evan Tognotti the unprecedented privilege to pick a surprise topic, with no prior knowledge on the part of Kevin or Chris, your humble hosts were shocked and appalled to be ambushed with the reviled Monkeybone, starring Academy Award winner Brendan Fraser, Bridget Fonda, Dave Foley, John Turturro, and many more. Was this movie unfairly maligned in its time? No!...more1h 20minPlay
