Jake Gyllenhaal and Laura Dern star in October Sky, a period movie about a group of boys who want to follow their dreams and build rockets. Based on a true story, this was what Erin describes as a “Youth Group Movie”. We figured it was time to revisit this coming-of-age film and see if it still holds up!

We watched The Lion King (1994) and The Lion King (2019) to see how the remake holds up to the original. With a stellar voice cast, and a tragic history of previous Disney remakes, The Lion King has a lot of hype to live up to, while still having the opportunity to crush expectations. We watched both, and we’ll let you know which is better, and whether you should watch Disney’s Lion King remake.

This week, The VCR Kids dig into our Nostalgia Briefcase and pull out Stuart Little. Did you know this movie was written by M. Night Shamalyan? And it came out the SAME YEAR as The Sixth Sense? Coincidence? We'll see..

Stuart Little stars Michael J. Fox, Hugh Laurie, Gena Davis, Nathan Lane, and way more people you know! It also got a few Oscar nods. Overall, we were pretty surprised by how little we remembered about this movie. Definitely worth the time to check it out if you saw it as a kid.

Hit us up on Twitter and tell us your thoughts about Stuart Little!

From the director of The Nightmare Before Christmas and Coraline, we watched 1996’s James and the Giant Peach. To say this is an entomologist’s fever dream is an understatement. Robot sharks, giant bugs, and juicy peaches abound. Does this stop motion film still hold up? Listen to The VCR Kids to find out.

Every week we watch a movie from our childhood to see if it still holds up. A perfect podcast for millennials, 90s kids, and everyone else in that general area. Subscribe in your favorite podcast app, and tell your friends!
