Old Millennials Remember Movies

It’s happening. Our first 2000-era movie on the podcast. Our first guest on the podcast joins us to talk about creepy kids possessed by dead mothers, whether the glasses of water and conveniently placed baseball bats make the ending great or terrible. This discussion is out of this world.

My Girl is much more than a movie about Macauley Culkin dying from bee stings. It's a relatable story of a girl growing up in a strange and morbid home. Does this movie hold up over time, or is it too shelled in our nostalgia for us to see it objectively?

Some highlights of the My Girl Podcast include discussions on bad parenting in a funeral home, the sexual appeal of Dan Aykroyd, creative writing class, dates at Bingo, first kisses and more.

Tom Cruise will perform ANY stunt, including skipping out of a ground-level window with some aquarium water dribbling after him. We remember the first Mission Impossible, before Tom Cruise had a death wish and started insisting on completing a bunch of his own insane stunts. Does the movie hold up? How does it compare to the release of Mission: Impossible - Fallout?

Join us, the Old Millennials, as we discuss Mission Impossible, as well as what we've been watching recently (Isle of Dogs and Fresh Prince of Bel Air). Tyler also takes us down some specific theater movie memories combined with some odd parenting choices during the showings of Lion King, Clear and Present Danger, and True Lies.
