Old Roommates

Rob Lowe! Patrick Swayze! Keanu Reeves! So many men, so much ice skating. Youngblood was
the ultimate 80’s hockey movie. Fine, it was one of the only hockey films of the “poofy hair and
toxic masculinity” decade. Featuring bloody beatdowns, bare bums, and lots of embarrassing
wetness, the movie is unforgettable. Or is it? The Old Roommates lace up and give it a rewatch
on the sports movie’s 35th anniversary. Listen to this.

Garry Marshall had quite the streak in the late-80’s/early-90’s: ‘Overboard’, ‘Beaches’, ‘Pretty
Woman’ and 1991’s ‘Frankie & Johnny’. The diner-set rom-com introduced audiences to a
scruffy Michelle Pfeiffer and lovelorn Al Pacino. The gamble of both stars didn’t quite pay off at
the box office, yet the film had a successful second life on video. Thirty years later, did our
hearts grow fonder? Is Johnny too pushy? And why is Frankie the only one in her family with a
New Yawk accent? The Old Roommates cut through the baklava of this mushy little romance.

She was that innocent! Let’s revisit two of Britney’s late-90s music videos: “Sometimes” and
“(You Drive Me) Crazy”. Back then, Britney was a virginal pop princess who knew how to cut a
record...and a rug. From white-clad broken hearts to Janet Jackson-inspired chair work, the
singer-dancer dazzled us into a new millennium in two very different productions. Decades,
tabloids and documentaries later, do the videos now reveal deeper meaning, and a different
Britney Spears? The Old Roommates rewatch both of these videos, baby, one more time, in
search of answers. Listen to this.

Was that a penis? Yes, the promise of full-frontal fun helped make Porky’s a bulging box office
hit back in 1981. And though it contained only blink-and-you-missed-it male member moments,
the legend of Porky’s lives on and on – erecting many sequels and copycat sex comedies. Now,
40 years later, is the raunchy comedy still considered raunchy? Is it still funny? And, why don’t
these boys just leave Porky alone? The Old Roommates take another peek at the movie your
parents wouldn’t let you watch.

Nicole Kidman flashed a killer smile and nailed a Meg Ryan impression in 1995’s To Die For. This
is just one of the joys of rewatching Gus Van Sant’s dark comedy. Though not initially a hit,
critics raved, and it helped solidify Kidman’s place on the A List. Now that we’re grownups, why
didn’t Suzanne Stone just get a divorce? How much sex is too much sex over a weekend? And
does a little bit of Suzanne exist in us all? The Old Roommates break the ice and revisit.

Christina almost dated Ben Affleck – and she shares the ill-fated tale at the end of this episode.
Speaking of stories in dimly lit locales, when Tim Burton’s “Batman” landed in theaters in 1989,
it dazzled audiences with its darker-than-normal take on the caped crusader. Decades later, does the
trendsetter hold up? Is Bruce Wayne a buzzkill? What does the Joker really want? And, will Vicki
Vale ever stop screaming? The Old Roommates slide down a batpole of nostalgia and rewatch a
classic.

Brian’s choice! It’s that time of year again. Brian made Christina watch a movie she’s never seen
before – and it’s one of Brian’s favorites. “Moonstruck” was an Oscar-winning smash that
enchanted audiences and critics alike back in 1987. But, what does Christina think? Was it pure
amore? Did Cher deserve the Academy Award? And is it wrong to love someone as much as
Brian loves Cher? Love, bakeries, and the opera are timeless, but the Old Roommates are going
to discuss how well the movie’s held up. Listen to this.

Come aboard, we’re expecting you...to listen to this vast, wide, rocky episode. Only a pop
culture dynasty like “The Love Boat” could chart a course through our longest episode ever.
Let’s rewatch the antics of Captain Stubing, Isaac and the too-young-to-be-working Vicki in a
handful of episodes from season 4 (Love Boat’s most-watched season). Is Gopher as funny as we
remember? Did most of the plots sink or swim? And why doesn’t Charo have her own media
empire? The Old Roommates set sail. Listen to this.

It’s déjà vu all over again. We’re rewatching Bill Murray relive the same day over and over (and
over) again in 1993’s “Groundhog Day.” Though the movie’s plot was a bit...repetitive,
audiences kept coming back for more. But now, in the scary monotony of our wintry COVID
world, does the film still charm? What does ‘Rita’ see in ‘Phil’ anyway? And, did Brian and
Christina even like this movie the first time around? The Old Roommates rise, shine, and revisit
this snow-covered smash. Listen to this.

A 19-year old Julia Roberts received the only Oscar nomination given to 1989’s “Steel
Magnolias,” and we want to know whyyyyyyy. Upon its release, the film was a box office hit and
had audiences laughing and crying along with its roster of A-list actresses. Thirty years later, is
Steel’s southern style still sassy...or slow as molasses? Is “Ouiser” too relatable? And, why are
men the worst? The Old Roommates are anything but blush and bashful in this episode. Listen
to this.
