Jack Nicholson's Daryl van Horne was one hell of a guy. A self-described "horny little devil," he was powerful enough to seduce nearly any woman in Eastwick, and made others puke cherry pits. Yes, back in 1987, audiences fell under the spell of Nicholson - and Cher, Susan Sarandon, and Michelle Pfieffer as the titular witches. But now, decades later, is the supernatural tale funny enough, sexy enough, or scary enough to make a demonic dent? The Old Roommates work their magic and revisit all the mayhem through their middle-aged lens. Listen to this.

Gay-ish vampires trying to raise a bloodsucking Kirsten Dunst was certainly not on anyone's 1994 Movie Bingo card, but Neil Jordan's take on Anne Rice's novel burst into theaters anyway. Yes, audiences gleefully sank their teeth into the gothic tale of horror, loneliness, and rat eating. But now, decades later, does this 2-hour tale kinda suck? Is Tom Cruise miscast? Is Brad Pitt? And what are the wardrobe options when one becomes a creature of the night? The Old Roommates revisit the gore and the glory of Interview with the Vampire. Listen to this.

Special Episode! It's cohost Christina's birthday, and as is tradition, she's making her cohost Brian watch a movie he's never seen before. Christina's pick this year is Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. Is the Dick Van Dyke classic a favorite of Christina's? Nope. Has the 1968 musical held any sentimental value for Christina over the years? Nah. Did the Ian Fleming story give Christina pop-culture PTSD for decades? Yep. Join the Old Roommates as they revisit the traumatic classic through a middle-aged lens ... "Child Catcher" be damned. Listen to this.

Robert DeNiro wanted to do a comedy, and back in 1988, Midnight Run was as close as he got. Audiences needn’t worry, the movie still managed to squeak out a body count amidst the laughs. Yes, Midnight Run was a hit. The combination of Charles Grodin and DeNiro charmed moviegoers thanks to its quotable script, movie star chemistry, and inevitable friendship at the center of all the action. But now, decades (and so many buddy road trip movies) later, does this f-bomb laden chase still hold up? Is DeNiro funny? Is Grodin miscast? And were these grumpy guys ever in real danger? The Old Roommates inspect their twenty-dollar bills and revisit it all through their middle-aged lens. Listen to this.

Drew Barrymore was just 17 – seventeen, one seven – when she seduced a 58-year-old Tom Skerritt for the sake of the 1992 thriller Poison Ivy. Add to that a dead dog, a drunk dad, and a drugged Cheryl Ladd, and Poison Ivy was perhaps too much movie for commonfolk to handle. The film bombed at the box office, but was a bit hit on video, spawning two sequels. But now, decades later, were audiences right to avoid this film the first time around? Is this flick’s “Lolita Meets Fatal Attraction” gimmick too gross to be good? Or, are there campy wonders to behold beneath its fake tattoos? The Old Roommates go out on a limb and discuss it all through their middle-aged lens. Listen to this.

Steve Martin and Mary Steenburgen led an all-star cast (including Dianne Wiest, who would go on to get an Oscar nom for her work here) in 1989’s Parenthood. Ron Howard’s ode to the roller coaster of raising kids was a big hit with audiences 35 years ago. But now, decades later, does this raucous movie need a timeout? Are the trials and tribulations – which include porn-fueled puberty and teen pregnancy - too much or not enough? Has parental problem-solving changed over time? And has Keanu Reeves ever been cuter? The Old Roommates head to the principal’s office and discuss all the shenanigans through a middle-aged lens. Listen to this.

Right Said Fred’s "I'm Too Sexy" and Marky Mark & the Funky Bunch's "Good Vibrations" have a lot in common. They're both from 1991. They both feature muscle-bound singing males. They're both the chart-topping highlights of both musical acts. But now, decades later, has our muscle memory remembered the videos as well as the songs? Do the videos do these club classics justice? And which of these two bicep-bulging bangers deserve a coveted spot in our Old Roommates' Music Video Vault? Yes, there's a lot of pressure on our Old Roommates cohosts to pick the best video, but they're ready to feel it, feel it. Listen to this.

"There are no victims in this classroom!" Michelle Pfieffer is a whitefish out of water in the 1995 hit, Dangerous Minds. Pfieffer plays Louanne Johnson, an ex-marine divorcee down on her luck. Her only prospect, it seems, is to attempt to teach a gaggle of "passionate" high school kids, most of whom happen to be (gasp!) teenagers of color. Cue "Gangsta's Paradise"! Yes, back in the 90s, mainstream films were fairly black-and-white. But now, decades later, does this white savior storyline get a pass because it's based on a true story? Is Michelle the mousiest of ex-Marines ever? And why do some of these kids look 30? The Old Roommates head to the principal's office and give all the drama a rewatch through their middle-aged lens. Listen to this.

Season 6 Premiere! Rodney Dangerfield earned As from audiences and critics in 1986's Back to School. Jam packed with one liners, hijinks, and the occasional boob, the Alan Metter directed movie was a big hit. But now, decades later, are we too smart for our own good? Would any child be thrilled at the prospect of their parents attending college with them? Would any woman be thrilled at the thought of having sex with Thornton Melon? Would anyone proudly shop at a store called Big & Fat? The Old Roommates enroll in Classic 80s Comedy 101 and give it all a rewatch through their middle-aged lens. Listen to this.
