Reel Window: Rewatching Random Movies from our Childhood

Oh man. Lisa’s pick this week is sure to stir up some serious nostalgia. For probably everyone. Even if you never saw this movie, you KNOW who’s in it. Like. With all your heart. Listen now to find out what film we’re discussing next week!!

It’s Pauline’s pick this week, and she has chosen the 1998 adaptation of Les Miserables, starring Liam Neeson, Geoffrey Rush, Uma Thurman, and Claire Danes. A dramatic period piece that the sisters were completely captivated by as preteens. Are they still captivated as adults?

Pauline’s movie this week is one Lisa is not expecting at all. Surprisingly, despite a stacked cast, this film didn’t seem to make a big splash at the box office. But our family discovered it and it’s been rewatched many a time. Listen now to find out what it is!

This week's pick by Lisa is honestly one of our most-quoted movies from childhood. 1996's "That Thing You Do", the directorial debut of Tom Hanks, co-starring in this film with Liv Tyler, Steve Zahn, Giovani Ribisi, Ethan Embri, and a very young, fresh-faced Charlize Theron. This film, set in the 1960's follows the rise of The Wonders, and Eerie, PA band with a catchy tune that shoots a group of young twenty-somethings into 1960's stardom! An homage to The Beatles, the Ed Sullivan Show, and the touring bands from a bygone era. Pauline and Lisa (and their entire family) fell in love with this movie - does it stand the test of time? Listen to our latest episode to find out!

Thank you for your patience listeners! Pauline and Lisa have finally sorted through their tech troubles and here, as promised, is their elusive Triviasode. Is it worth the delay? We think so. Does Pauline struggle to figure out the movie? At first. Listen to find out which Brunnen favourite Lisa has picked for this week!

No, this is not an April Fool’s Day prank, this is an apology and explanation for why there’s no Triviasode today. Such sadness. Full Triviasode to be added A.S.A.P!

Well. It’s here! The episode where the sisters discuss a movie that had mixed reviews from them as children. A film Lisa adored, but also a film that bored Pauline to no end. Fantasia!! This episode operates a little differently than previous episodes. Listen to our breakdown of this 1940’s animated classic to find out if we still hold true to our childhood opinions.

The sisters are back! Yay! And to celebrate their return, Pauline introduces a new game element to this week’s Triviasode. How does Lisa fare with it? And what unexpected movie has Pauline chosen? Listen and find out!

Lisa picked the slice of Americana film, The Sandlot. One summer in the life of nine boys in 1950s America. Baseball is life. Smalls hasn’t had a s’more before. The Beast is over the fence, keeping the lost balls from the baseball diamond. Wendy Peffercorn is the pool lifeguard. And Smalls had to learn the hard way who Babe Ruth is. Listen to find out if this 90’s film holds up!

It’s another Triviasode! Yay! And once again it’s Lisa’s turn to pick. Her only guarantee is that this week’s mystery film is (most likely) better than “All Dogs Go to Heaven” and “Annie”. High praise indeed. How long until Pauline figures out Lisa’s film?
