Marcia, Marcia, Marcia. Jan's lament was front, center and hilariously accentuated by a game cast in 1995's The Brady Bunch Movie. Thirty years ago, the film was loved by critics and audiences alike, as we witnessed The Bradys staying true to themselves during 1990's. But nowadays, where do the Bradys fit in? Are they awesomely anachronistic or just plain annoying? Are the impersonations of Carol, Marcia and Jan too good? And where's Tiger? The Old Roommates pop on potato sacks and race through a revisit of this peppy parody. Join us, but watch out for mom's favorite vase.

Val Kilmer played Jim Morrison in 1991's The Doors to great acclaim but was, alas, snubbed by the Academy. People are strange, eh? Yes, the movie's release was attacked by fans and former band members of The Doors for its alleged inaccuracies and exaggerations. But now, years later, were movie audiences just riders on the storm of bad press? Upon rewatch, does the Oliver Stone movie provide some truth among the spectacle? And was Meg Ryan the best choice for Pam? The Old Roommates attempt to light your fire with a revisit through their middle-aged lens. Join us for a sobering chat and a wild time.

"My mother told me never to do this." When are we going to listen to our moms, people? The 1986 cult classic, The Hitcher, not only put the fear of hitchhikers in us, but also the fear of cops, German Shepherds, and even french fries. Rutger Hauer and C. Thomas Howell share the front seat of this dark thrillride with more than one gross-out moment. But now, decades of defeated horror villains later, what's left to be afraid of? Is there any suspense to be had when you can just drive away? And are the cops in this movie more vicious than the hitchhiker? The Old Roommates thumb through it all with their middle-aged lens on high alert. Join them for a ... side-splitting conversation.

Johnny Depp played Sam, a tree-climbing, borderline-illiterate, aspiring mime. Shockingly, Sam's antics aren't even the quirkiest things taking place in 1993's Benny & Joon. Poker games with weird prizes, a snorkel-wearing sister, and a former horror movie actress are just a few of the ingredients making up this flaky crowd-pleaser. But now, decades later, is a quirky point of view appropriate for a love story involving a woman with mental illness? Is Aidan Quinn sexy or snoozy? And, why oh why, is Benny & Joon's house such an ungodly mess? The Old Roommates bust open a carton of raisins and give it all a revisit through their middle-aged lens. Crack open some peanut butter and join them.

Dopey, Happy, and a cold-blooded killer. Yes, Disney's 1937 Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs was quite the mix of spectacle, song, and skull-filled dungeons. Yet we remember it as fun for the whole family. But now, nearly 90 years later, how does this hand-drawn delight hold up in our Pixar'ed world? Do the doodles feel dated? Is all the death talk too much by today's G-Rated standards? And why does that catty Magic Mirror have such a chip on his shoulder? The Old Roommates whistle while they revisit the animated classic through their middle-aged lens. Join them for a smile and a song and a great conversation.

“So, what do you little maniacs want to do first?” As embodied by Kelly LeBrock, Lisa was full of questions, answers, and (for unknown reasons) a variety of witchy powers in the 1985 classic, Weird Science. Written and directed by John Hughes, the movie was a perverted teenage geek’s dream: building a woman to spec, controlling her, and using her to gain popularity among the cool kids. But now, nearly 40 years later, what in the name of Gloria Steinem is going on here? Is there any joy to be had in this Anthony Michael Hall of horrors? And just how convincing is Robert Downey Jr as a bully? The Old Roommates float an air biscuit and give it all a revisit through their middle-aged lens. Join them before their parents get home.

Jim Carrey gave critics a new view into his talents in the Peter Weir hit, The Truman Show. Back in 1998, the psychological comedy-drama captivated audiences with its unique premise: a reality TV world that “is not fake but controlled.” Yes, we followed dear Truman as he was hoodwinked daily by everyone in his life, all for the sake of ratings. But now, decades of reality TV concepts later, is the movie interesting enough to hold up to today’s outrageous standards? Did Meryl and Marlon really kiss their real lives goodbye to live a lie? And why is Christof (Ed Harris) the worst? The Old Roommates set sail for answers and discuss it all through their middle-aged lens. Join them, with no commercial interruptions!

After going “Psycho” for Alfred Hitchcock a while back (episode 140, but who’s counting?) we revisit another of his classics, 1948’s Rope. Upon release, Rope basically hanged itself with audiences and critics due to its deep, dark premise. Two men of questionable sexual orientation strangle the living daylights out of their friend with a … well, you know … just to do it. Heavy handed philosophies, psychological games, and one sharp Jimmy Stewart later, the film stiffed at the box office. But now, over seventy years after its release, is it now simply a gay old time? The Old Roommates dive into the pate and discuss the thriller through their middle-aged lens. Join them for this lively discussion.

“With or Without You” and “I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For” were both number one hits in the states for Irish icons, U2. The songs are still in heavy rotation by Gen X and more, but how about the music videos? Back in the late-80s, MTV audiences were treated to two very different Bonos. In “With … ,” we saw a tormented, handtied gent. In “I Still Haven’t … ,” we witnessed a lad living for the moment. But now, decades later, does either version of the band’s lead singer prove true? And, more importantly, which music video will make The Vault? The Old Roommates mentally stroll the streets of Vegas and give these VMA favorites a revisit through their middle-aged lens. Join them!

Meryl Streep ate a Gummi Bear out of her hair. Roseanne Barr fell flat on her face while holding a cheese plate. Ed Begley, Jr. showed his butt. And audiences stayed away. Yes, 1989’s black comedy She-Devil struggled to find its audience upon release and didn’t even earn back its budget. But now, decades later, was this tale of romance and revenge just misunderstood? Were we really prepared to see a funny pre-Prada Streep? Were we all hoodwinked into thinking this was a Meryl vs Roseanne showdown when they only have 2.5 scenes together? And, unlike Begley’s “Bob,” does this Susan Seidelman film deserve a second chance? The Old Roommates grab a strainer and sort it all out through their middle-aged lens. Join them!
