Reel Window: Rewatching Random Movies from our Childhood

Pauline has chosen 1995’s Casper, one of the few Halloween(ish) films the sisters grew up watching. However, neither of them remember it well. Does it hold up? Will it surprise the sisters? If nothing else, they’ll have enjoyed some sweet 90’s CGI and Christina Ricci teenage angst.

It’s Pauline’s turn to pick the movie this week and she’s decided on a ghostly film for Halloween. A 90’s ghostly film! How long will it take Lisa to figure out this week’s cheesy movie? Is it one you recognize from the quote? Or does it have you stumped?

It’s time to boldly go where no one has gone before! That’s right, this week the sisters jump into Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home. Clearly a Lisa pick, this 1986 film stars the original crew of the Enterprise as they navigate 1980’s San Francisco and save whales at the same time! How does Pauline feel about this campy sci-fi adventure? Join us and find out!

It’s Lisa’s turn to pick the film this week, and boy has she chosen a geeky one! How long until Pauline guesses the film? And more importantly, what will she think of the movie when she does? Tune in to find out!

Pauline and Lisa discuss one of their most favourite films of all time, the 1992 classic “A League of Their Own”! A movie they quote constantly and watched whenever they could growing up. Join us as the sisters reminisce and act out their favourite moments!

Pauline chooses one of the sisters’ most beloved movies of all time while trying to keep Lisa on her toes. You’ve probably already guessed the film from the iconic title of this week’s episode but even so, stick around for the usual banter and the sheer joy Lisa expresses when the movie is revealed!

It’s time to go on a treasure hunt because the sisters are watching “Candleshoe”! A 1977 live-action Disney film starring a teenage Jodie Foster, this film was definitely a fave of young Pauline and Lisa. It has con artists, disguises, pirates, Spanish doubloons, and plenty of slapstick to go around! Is this movie as fun as the sisters remember? Listen and find out!

It’s Lisa’s turn to pick the movie, and you all know how happy that makes her! This week she picks a 1970’s favourite from childhood that Pauline is sure to guess. For anyone looking for clue, think of a young Jodie Foster and an old English mansion. Still don’t know? Then listen and find out which film the sisters will be rewatching next!

Break out the zoot suits and brace yourself for heartache because the sisters are talking about 1993’s “Swing Kids”. This historical drama stars Christian Bale, Robert Sean Leonard, and Kenneth Branagh, takes place in Nazis Germany, and traumatized both sisters as children who were waaaay too young to watch it. Is it more appreciated now that they’re adults? Edit: Lisa repeatedly says the name of her favourite song wrong, it’s actually “Bei Mer Bist Du Schoen”. She apologizes for butchering the name.

It’s Pauline’s turn to pick the movie this week, and she does a fantastic job of keeping Lisa on her toes! If you don’t recognize the name of this episode don’t worry, hardly anyone saw this movie when it came out. So tune in and listen for the big reveal, we guarantee this Triviasode is full of surprises!
