Near...far...wherever we are, we believed that we'd one day be re-watching the 1997 box office beast, Titanic. Yes, the James Cameron epic busted its budget and broke apart numerous Academy Award records. But now, 25 years later, does the film ride a wave of nostalgia or are our cynical hearts unable to go on and on? Is this Kate Winslet's finest (three) hour(s)? Was Leonardo DiCaprio robbed of an Oscar nomination? The Old Roommates put on their life vests and set sail for a revisit. Listen to this.

NSYNC's "Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays" and Carnie and Wendy Wilson's "Hey Santa" were two original tunes by two well-known musical acts. Each song was accompanied by a music video designed to dazzle audiences with the holiday spirit. Now, decades later, were these videos tree-topping stars or lumps of Christmas coal? And how did Gary Coleman get mixed up in this? Will the Old Roommates "Hold On" to the nostalgia or simply say, "Bye, Bye, Bye" to these 90's yuletide wonders. Listen to this.

Glenn Close got an Oscar nomination for 1983's "The Big Chill" playing Sarah, a woman grieving over the suicide of an old college chum. But Sarah is just one of the characters shaken by his death. Yes, the Lawrence Kasdan film was sort of a Breakfast Club of shared secrets and dashed dreams for the thirtysomething set. Now, nearly 40 years later, is this all just a lot of talk? Why is everybody doing drugs? And, is Jeff Goldblum's character just an earlier version of Ian Malcolm? The Old Roommates pop on some Motown and revisit the post-funeral fun. Listen to this.

Glinda the Good Witch? Oh, really? Re-watching 1939's "The Wizard of Oz" through a middle-aged lens is quite an experience. How many times must a dog bite someone before notifying the authorities? Is giving your sister's murderer an hour to live too generous? The Tin Man has a heart, but what about a penis? The Old Roommates follow the yellow brick road to get the answers to these questions raised by the Judy Garland classic. Listen to this.

Goldie Hawn replaced Farrah Fawcett as Gloria Mundy, a divorced librarian caught up in murder mystery. And Hawn, Chevy Chase, and Dudley Moore provided a lot of laughs in between all the attempts on Gloria's life. Yes, 1978's Foul Play mixed multiple genres, killed at the box office, and scored several Golden Globe nominations. But, looking back over 40 years later, did the movie take on more than Mr. Hennessey's snake could chew? The Old Roommates grab their umbrellas and brass knuckles and give the classic caper a re-watch. Listen to this.

Was Biff the most underrated of 80's movie villains? Was George McFly kinda hot? And, why did Doc Brown risk his dog's life the first time he tested time travel? These are some of the questions we had upon re-watch of 1985's iconic Back to the Future. The $388M megahit DeLorean'ed Michael J. Fox's career, and became an instant classic. Now, over 35 years later, with our middle-aged thinking caps firmly in place, does the movie still make us laugh, gasp, and think? The Old Roommates slip on their Calvins and take a shallow dive. Listen to this.

How do ya like these 25-year old apples? Yes, back in 1997, Gus Van Sant's "Good Will Hunting" yielded a bumper crop of praise, awards, and box office bucks. Matt Damon and Ben Affleck quickly became Hollywood's golden boys and Robin Williams got his Oscar. But now, decades later, when everyone's got their own trauma to unlock and a Boston-accent impression to share, is Good Will Hunting still good? The Old Roommates attempt to solve for x and re-watch this beloved drama. Listen to this.

"I'm Chucky. Wanna play?" The resounding answer in 1988 was "yes." Audiences couldn't get enough of the possessed Good Guy. The $9M movie scared up $44M at the box office and went on to have a nice long life on video, not to mention several sequels, comic books, a 2019 reboot, and a 2021 TV show. Looking back on the doll that started it all ... was Chucky really that much of a threat to begin with? Was Chris Sarandon's 'Mike Norris' the most heartless detective ever? Was Dinah Manoff's 'Aunt Maggie' really a b*tch who got what she deserved? The Old Roommates replace their batteries, practice some chants, and revisit this creepy cult classic. Listen to this.

What do Attica and Christina have in common? Not much, but it's Christina's birthday episode. As is tradition, Christina is making Brian watch a movie he's never seen before. Her choice? Sidney Lumet's classic, Dog Day Afternoon. Decades ago, the 1975 bank-robbing caper snatched the hearts of audiences and critics alike. Al Pacino and Chris Sarandon got Oscar nominations for their portrayals as lovers embroiled in based-on-a-true-story shenanigans. Did Christina's love of the film stay as true? Did Brian like it at all? The Old Roommates book two tickets to Wyoming and take a closer look. Listen to this.

Dr. Kimberly Shaw returned from the dead (aka: her mom's house) and turned this Aaron Spelling soap upside down. Back in the mid-90's, "Melrose Place" was the hottest show on television. Now, decades later, has our love cooled down? Is Jake as deliciously cute? Is Syd as delightfully troublesome? Is Billy as ... dumb? The Old Roommates revisit the heyday (the end of Season 3, specifically) of the iconic Fox TV Show. Listen to this.
