Alllllllrighty then. In 1994, audiences were dropped into the crazy pool of Ace Ventura, Jim Carrey's gyrating, face-contorting, bizarro pet detective. And they loved it. Ace would go on to have two blockbuster films and an animated series. Decades later, is Ace playing with a full deck? What exactly is wrong with him? And, oh man, how exactly does the "Finkle is Einhorn" storyline land with our LGBTQIA community? The Old Roommates drain the dolphin tank and rewatch the comedy classic. Listen to this.

John Travolta got an Oscar nomination for his star-making role as Tony in "Saturday Night Fever," the low-budget blockbuster of 1977. Decades later, as we look through the disco lights and dance-floor fog, we find unchecked racism, drug use, and sexual assaults. Is this a dance movie or a downer? Is Tony good enough for any of his dance partners? And what SNF scene scarred co-host Christina for life back when she was just 10 years old? The Old Roommates double up on their pizza slices and re-watch Gene Siskel's favorite movie. Listen to this.

"Toepick!" Yes, the 1992 sporty rom-com "The Cutting Edge" stopped audiences cold with its downright adorable cast, quotable quotes, and oh-so happy ending. Decades later, does the figure-skating flick still thrill ... or does its lightweight plot find itself on thin ice? Were Moira Kelly and DB Sweeney stuck in a movie better left in the 80s? Or are its 80's tropes the reason audiences gave it a second life on cable and VHS? The Old Roommates lace up and rewatch this fan favorite. Listen to this.

"Everybody (Backstreet's Back)" and "As Long As You Love Me" were two mega-hits for the Backstreet Boys. One was a spooky, sexy costume party. The other, an audition for love. Both featured the Boys singing, dancing, and smirking ... and showing the occasional nipple. Now decades later, how do these 90's music videos hold up? Are they as memorable as their song lyrics? And how does the presence of Nick Carter manage to annoy both of our co-hosts? The Old Roommates throw their hands in the air and rewatch the beloved boy band.

“I’m too old for this sh*t.” An iconic line. A suicidal hero. A villain who literally rubs salt in the good guy’s wounds. Yes, 1987’s Lethal Weapon was nuts. Back in the eighties,
Richard Donner’s action hit gave audiences Mel Gibson’s bare bum, a friendship to love, and Gary Busey with devious dimples. The film went on to spawn 3 sequels and a TV show. But now, decades later, are we still crazy for it? Do Gibson’s real-life screw-ups impede our re-watch enjoyment? And, did Danny Glover look better with a beard?
The Old Roommates handcuff themselves to this non-stop 80’s blockbuster. Listen to this.

A Special Holiday Spectacular! Two revisits in one! And, Christina sings! And she sings the praises of The Miser Brothers. Yes, Mother Nature’s rascally sons were a highlight in A Year Without a Santa Claus, a 70’s TV special in which a grumpy Santa wants to take a year off. Now, over 40 years later, is Santa’s wish for a break simply self-care ...or selfish? Is Mrs. Santa Claus a loving wife, or a lying merry mastermind? But wait – there’s more! The Old Roommates also take another look at “Rudolph’s Shiny New Year” the holiday special that decided to send Rudolph on a quest to find the Baby New Year. But, through a middle-aged lens, does the complex plot hold up? Does Baby New Year have good reasons to run? And, why can’t Rudolph just fly everywhere he needs to be? The Old Roommates go walking in a winter wonderland and ponder the magic of these Christmas classics. Listen to this.

What’s worse: The microwave massacre or the “dad died in the chimney” story? Join Brian and Christina as they discuss all the pop-culture PTSD from Gremlins.
Back in 1984, the movie was a funny, frightening smash that charmed audiences – but angered many parents with it’s pivot from Mogwai mystery to full-on holiday horror flick.
But now, decades later, what is it all really that big of a deal? Aren’t we tougher now? Were we all just overreacting like Billy’s mom did in that kitchen scene? The Old Roommates take a middle-aged look at Gizmo, Stripe, and the ever-lasting trauma of the Steven Spielberg smash. Listen to this.

Part road trip. Part family drama. Part autistic character study. Yes, 80's Best Picture Oscar winner, Rain Man, was all of these things and more. That rare combination of crowd pleaser and critical darling, the Dustin Hoffman - Tom Cruise flick charmed all. Decades later though, with a deeper collective understanding of autism, is this a road trip worth taking twice? Is Cruise's "Charlie" now too cruel to be cool? Is Hoffman's "Raymond" the film's only good guy or is he a screenwriter's gimmick? The Old Roommates put on their Kmart underwear and revisit the top-grossing movie of 1988.

Bygones, Billy, and a dancing baby were among the mainstays in the world of Ally McBeal. In 1997, the David E. Kelley show was an instant hit. It was also instantly divisive. Was Ally an offbeat stuttering smarty looking for true love...or an offensive anti-feminist whiner in a minskirt? Or was she a little of both? Clearly, Calista Flockhart and company need a rewatch. The Old Roommates are searchin' their souls for answers and revisiting the pop-culture zeitgeist smash. Listen to this.
