Ruining Our Childhood

This week the people, by people we mean our awesome listeners, picked the movie.  We want to thank everyone that voted in our first ever movie poll on Facebook. If you have no idea what we are talking about, are you even listening?   Also, you should go check out our Facebook page because we have another exciting poll for this upcoming episode!  Anyways, this week we rewatched Old School. A 2003 "classic" starring Luke Wilson, Vince Vaughn, and Will Ferrell.  Both of us were in high school when this comedy was released, so of course we loved it.  Listen as we discuss and honestly fumble through this week's episode. We talk about all the amazing cameos in this movie and we even draw parallels to Todd Phillips' later hit, The Hangover. Does this male driven comedy hold up to our adult standards?

This week we rewatch The Wedding Singer starring Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore. This 1998 “classic” about an 80's wedding singer trying to get over being left at the altar is one of Ryan's favorite Adam Sandler movies. Join us as we discuss the highs and lows of Sandler movies in general. We reminisce about the lack of awesome soundtracks in today's movies and discuss the ins and outs of romantic comedy troupes.  As always we give out everyone’s favorite awards to two lucky characters/actors of the film. Will The Wedding Singer hold up to our adult standards?

Its our tenth episode guys! We decide to take on the 1996's Baz Luhrmann classic Romeo + Juliet. A movie that according to Ryan, made Shakespeare just a little easier to understand as a teenager.  Join us as Ashley reminisces about the soundtrack and her big "Leo" obsession growing up. As always we give our top awards to the best and worst actors of the film and decide if this reimagining of a literary giant holds up to our adult standards.

This week we take on John Waters' Cry-Baby. A "classic" that was introduced to both of us thanks to the constant replay on the USA Network when we were kids. We discuss how a 12 year old Ashley thought the romance in this movie was realistic and how we are still confused on the exact relationship between Uncle Belvedere (Iggy Pop) and Grandma Ramona. Are they blood related? Or was it just a "this is your 'uncle' but he is really my boyfriend type situation?"  Regardless, we break down this movie in all its weird glory. As always we crown our valedictorian of The Nicolas Cage Online School of Bad Acting and decide if this 90's musical holds up.

This week we rewatch the cult classic Heathers,  a dark teen comedy about killing off popular kids.  This is our first listener requested movie! Thanks Alexis, friend and listener of the podcast.  We discuss all the amazing 80's fashion (holy shoulder pads!), the witty one liners, and how this movie glosses over some big social issues.  As always, we decide who deserves the Thomas J. Hanks award and if this favorite holds up with our adult standards.

This week we rewatch Can't Hardly Wait. A 1998 "classic" about love, graduation, and even revenge. We discuss how this film gave our younger selves unrealistic expectations of high school parties. As always we decide if this teen comedy holds up to our adult standards. Don't forget to check out our Facebook or Instagram for details on how to win a $15 Fandango gift card!

This week we change things up a bit by watching The Craft.  A film that is one of Ashley's childhood favorites and one that Ryan has never seen!  We discuss the good and bad fashion choices from 1996 and why it seems like every girl goes through at least a little bit of a "witch phase" in junior high.  We disagree on our nominations for the best and worst acting and finally decide if this classic 90's drama holds up to our adult standards! We also give some details on our current GIVEAWAY we are doing for our wonderful listeners! Listen now!

It's the week we have all been waiting for! Well, most of us MCU loving humans at least. Avengers: Endgame is finally hitting theaters this week and its about damn time! In the spirit of celebrating Marvel films, we take on Sam Raimi's version of everyone's favorite Web-Slinger. 2002's Spider-Man was a super successful film and as Ryan points out is still one of the highest grossing films of all time. Will this early Marvel success stay the same in our hearts? Or are we too spoiled by all of the range that the MCU has given us the last decade?  Listen now to find out!

This week we rewatch the children's classic Heavyweights.  We discuss our major camp envy as two 90's kids that never had the opportunity to go. We also talk about how Tony Perkis is really just an early version of Ben Stiller's Dodgeball villain, White Goodman. Of course we hand out some "prestigious" awards and decide if this childhood classic holds up to our adult standards.

What's your favorite scary movie? Well if it's 1996's Scream, you're in luck!  We rewatch this iconic horror film that left some of us scared to answer the phone while home alone at night. We question the logistics of moving dead bodies and remember a time when cell phones (or cellular telephones according to the Woodsboro Sheriff) were suspicious to own. We hand out our not so real awards for the best and worst acting. Who will take away the Thomas J. Hanks award this week? As always, we decide if Scream has what it takes to hold up to our adult standards.
