Reel Window: Rewatching Random Movies from our Childhood

It’s showtime. Lisa and Pauline are reviewing Tim Burton’s “Beetlejuice”. One of the director’s earliest and most unique films with the wildly talented Michael Keaton as the titular character. Yet for all the visual oddities, Lisa and Pauline have little memory of the film itself. What do they think after the rewatch? Is it worthy of its cult classic status? Listen and find out!

Lisa has picked an Oscar-winning horror/family/fantasy film that also landed in AFIs ‘100 Years, 100 Laughs’ movie list, which means it’s also a comedy. So. If that doesn’t tell you what movie this is…. Pauline is right there with ya! Listen to this week’s Triviasode to find out what the hell this movie is!

Back to 90’s English class we go! Pauline has chosen Baz Luhrmann’s adaptation of “Romeo+Juliet”. A film with an aesthetic so unique it’s basically it’s own genre. Starring the very young Leonardo Dicaprio and Claire Danes is the titular leads, how do the sisters feel about this film now that they’re no longer lovestruck teenagers? Is it worth the rewatch?

Pauline’s pick this week is one these two loved as teenage girls (because every teenage girl our age loved this movie when it came out). An adaptation of a classic story, with a very distinct style. Listen now to find out what we’re watching this weekend!!

This week Pauline and Lisa discuss “Jumanji”! One of their favourite family adventure films from when they were kids. Robin Williams? A dangerous board game ? Jungle animals? Pure chaos? What’s not to enjoy? But the most important question of all, is it still worth the watch? Listen and find out!

It’s Lisa’s turn to pick and Pauline’s turn to guess this week’s mystery movie! Action? Check. Favourite actors? Check. Box office success? Check. Beloved by critics? Well… we can’t have everything. Tune in to find out which family adventure film we’ll be watching in the weekend!

This week the sisters are watching a truly obscure drama/comedy from 1994 called “Corrina, Corrina.” Set in the 1950’s and starring Whoopi Goldberg and the late Ray Liotta, this character-driven film was loved by both sisters as young children. How does it hold up and is it worth the watch? Listen to find out!

It’s Pauline’s turn to pick the movie, and she has chosen a deeply nostalgic film from the sisters’ childhood. One that few people saw in theatres upon its release, but one which honours the memory of beloved actor Ray Liotta. Is this one from your childhood? Have a listen and find out.

Time for another obscure movie our listeners probably haven’t heard of! This week the sisters are talking about 1991’s “Regarding Henry”, a sentimental flick starring Harrison Ford and Annette Bening. Full of trauma, rehabilitation, and, complex relationships, what children wouldn’t love this film? Do the sisters still enjoy it? And is it one they recommend? Listen and find out!

It’s another Triviasode! Yaaaay! And it’s Lisa’s turn to pick and she has chosen a film that was beloved by both sisters as little children, but few people know exist. Is this obscure film starring two big name actors one you know? Listen and see if you can guess it before Pauline!
