For week two of The Old Teens Movies — our special run on millennial teen flicks — we're talking about 2012's The Perks of Being a Wallflower and are joined by TJ Ruesch. A more reflective and personal episode than usual, we still have plenty of fun revisiting our awkward early days of high school and college. We hope you'll come along with us as we celebrate the beauty of this film, which celebrates it 10th anniversary this year.

Welcome to The Old Kids...I mean, Teens Movies! We're stepping it up this month for four straight weeks of our favorite movies we watched WHEN we were teens, ABOUT teens, FOR teens. To start off the month, we're talking about the movie that ushered AJ into teenagerdom – 2007's Disturbia.

This movie might just be the most accurate movie about millennial teenagers, ever. We gush about the pacing, dialogue, hangout nature, and threading in of the thriller elements.

Stay tuned for our episode next week. There are many PERKS awaiting you if you do.

We went 101% on this one as we wrap up pet month.

Revisit the live-action adaptation of the Disney classic, One Hundred and One Dalmatians, in this week's episode! We talk about the descension from clever and witty dialogue into a CGI-filled and dialogue-light second half. The dogs were cute the whole time, though.

Next month, get ready to skip a few grades.

Blame Trevor. This was all his idea.

Anyways, we talk for some of the time out the movie about a Zebra who wants to be a race hors and the rest of the time about unrelated stuff. This was a fun episode to record. We hope you enjoy listening to it.

We're kicking off pet month with a true boy-and-his-dog movie. A relic of the 90s, Air Bud adds a dog movie to a basketball movie for one of the influential films from our childhood. Spawning more than a dozen sequels and spin-offs, Air Bud is a true millennial classic that was long overdue for a discussion on The Old Kids Movies.

Why talk about just one Santa Clause movie when you can talk about three?

In this year's Christmas special, we're breaking down the good, the bad, and the ugly of this iconic Christmas movie trilogy. Trevor loves the first movie – AJ's a defender of #2, and has a bone to pick with the first.

Join us as we recount The Santa Clause, The Santa Clause 2, and The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause right in time for Christmas 2021.

December 16, 2021Unaccompanied Minors
Are you traveling this Christmas? You're in luck! We've recorded a review of 2006's Unaccompanied Minors – it's one of AJ's favorites and one of Trevor's most maligned. Let's see if a Christmas miracle can bring these two together on this movie about six kids stranded in an airport on Christmas Eve.
