Reel Window: Rewatching Random Movies from our Childhood

It’s safe to say the film that Pauline has chosen this week is one of the forgotten 90s films. But should it have stayed forgotten? Great question. We won’t know till after we re-watch it this weekend! Listen now to find out what it is!!

Lisa’s pick is the wonderful 1998, October Sky, starring Jake Gyllenhall, Chris Cooper, and Laura Dern. Based on a true story, this film tells the story of Homer Hickham, a 17-year-old from Coalwood, West Virginia, in 1957, who discovers a love for rocketry. With an incredible score, and great acting, it’s obvious from the beginning of this episode that both sisters LOVED rewatching this film. But it’s so much more than that. Listen now to find out why!

It’s another Triviasode! And this week Lisa’s chosen a favourite of from the late 90’s. Who’s up for a historical coming-of-age drama that’s also based on a true story? These gals! Is this a film you’ll know? It didn’t do well at the box office so odds are…unlikely? Listen and find out which movie Pauline and Lisa will be talking about next!

Pauline’s pick this week is a Disney animated adaptation of the Greek myth, Hercules. Lisa loved this one growing up, while Pauline felt lukewarm about it. How does this one hold up over two decades later? Great question! Listen and find out!

Its another Triviasode! And this week it’s Pauline’s turn to pick the film. Can it possibly be better than last week’s “Labyrinth”? Yes. Yes it can. Obviously. But how much better? And will Lisa be happy about Pauline’s choice? Tune in and find out!

Are you ready for one of the most random movies the sisters have watched so far? Welcome to a discussion of Jim Henson’s 1986 film, “Labyrinth”. Starring a very young Jennifer Connelly and the fantastical David Bowie. This one is definitely a Lisa pick. How will Pauline fair with this bizarre and nonsensical film? Is it worth the rewatch? Or should this one have stayed trapped in the memory of childhood? Listen and find out!

The sisters are back! And it’s Lisa’s turn to pick the movie and she has chosen a very unique cult-classic 80’s film. Can you guess what the movie is before Pauline does? And will Pauline be excited for Lisa’s pick? Listen and find out!

Lisa explains the lack of Triviasode and full episode this week (spoiler: it’s Pauline’s fault).

Break out the shoulder pads and ready the hairspray because this week the sisters are watching 1998’s homage to the 80’s, “The Wedding Singer”. Starring Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore, this romantic comedy was one of the favourites of Pauline and Lisa at the perfect ages of 12 and 13. There’s no doubt this film has flaws (obviously), but does it have redeeming qualities? Do the sisters recommend it? Listen and find out!

This week’s pick has both sisters a bit on edge. Neither think this will have aged particularly well, but both of us LOVED this one when it came out. Listen to find out what we’re watching this weekend!!
