White Nights (1985) - Propaganda, Boom Boxes & a Flat Top

Okay, so last week the dancing was…well, it was. This week?? The dancing can only be termed world-class.

Save The Last Dance (2001) - Couch Sex, Basic Rhythm & a 9 PM Audition

It’s Dance Movie August, y’all, and Paul & Erika are high-kicking it off like a pair of very short Rockettes with a discussion of 2001’s Save The Last Dance! Along the way, they’ll discuss chairs, couches, abandoned furniture stores, and, of course, the proper spelling of “Juilliard.” Lots of EECC-content dead ahead!

Batman & Robin (1997) - Gala Invitations, Ice Puns & a Bathhouse

What better movie for the finale of superhero July than the finale of the original Batman film series? That’s right, Erika and Paul are talking all about Batman & Robin this week! In the process, they discuss the plight of Alfred, the scariest possible ice cream-themed supervillains, and, of course, which modern Batman would be the best in bed!

Mystery Men (1999) - Underused Actresses, Super Villain Gangs & a Passing Romani Woman

We’ve got two superhero movies under our collective belts this month…seems like a perfect time for a parody! Paul and Erika take on 1999’s Mystery Men, and given the number of questions they have about it, like “who, what, and why,” it’s aptly titled.

Blade (1998) - Smush Tracks, Serums & a Not Bad-Sounding Apocalypse

Superhero Month flies on as Erika and Paul move from heroic ninja turtles to heroic ninja vampires! That Aged Well takes on 1998’s Blade, starring Wesley Snipes, Kris Kristofferson (??!!), Stephen Dorff, and N’Bushe Wright as the undersung Dr. Karen Jenson! Look, is this a movie that always makes the most sense? No. But is it a grand guignol that will no doubt delight one host and gross out the other. It sure is!

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990) - Ooze Origins, Shredder Cabarets & a Ginger Dud

It’s July and all month That Aged Well is talking superheroes. Kicking it off is the 1990 classic about that lean, green ninja team, The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles! Paul and Erika have a blast going through this movie, with just a few tangents. Maybe more than a few. This is a tangent heavy episode, y’all.

Emma (1996) - Goop Products, Sibling Chemistry & a Tower Of Artichokes

We couldn’t get all the way through Period Piece June and NOT do a Jane Austen movie, and we decided on Emma! The one from 1996 starring Gwyneth Paltrow, to be specific…you would not BELIEVE how many versions of Emma are out there for your consumption. Paul and Erika take you through this classic tale of gossip, matchmaking, and true love, with all the commentary and side quests you’ve come to love from That Aged Well!

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000) - Yearning, Weapons & a Very Angry Girl

Shooting forward a little less than fifty years from last week’s topic, this week’s film for Period Piece June comes from a little-known director named Ang Lee…Erika and Paul are tackling the martial arts classic Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon! Sometimes, we here at That Aged Well watch a film from our childhoods (that we thought was perfect at the time), and are horrified. But what if we watch a film from our childhoods (that we thought was perfect at the time), and…still think it’s perfect?? Y...

Seven Brides For Seven Brothers (1954) - Cabins, Feminist Reading & a Brassy Ginger

Okay, so not only a period piece this week, but also a film from way before our usual date range…Paul and Erika are talking about the classic MGM musical Seven Brides For Seven Brothers! Look, anyone who has seen this movie is probably getting on their crash helmets and buckling their seat belts, but…is it possible…your hosts liked this movie? Come join us for a discussion of corsets, skid marks, and wood-chopping! You can follow That Aged Well on Bluesky (@ThatAgedWell.bsky.social), Instagram (...

Dangerous Liaisons (1988) - Deep Dish Pizza, Human Desks & a Catalog of Incompetence

After a brief Memorial Day break, Erika and Paul are back on their beat and this time they’re talking about Dangerous Liaisons with Glenn Close, John Malkovich, and Michelle Pfeiffer! While a lot of the conversation is taken up wondering how people could have that much sex while also wearing that much clothing, your hosts also take the time to discuss the duties of a best friend, the wisdom of a paper trail, and the soundtrack of a boring and/or broken-hearted…lady.

Feed Drop: Sex Ed with DB - 13 Going On 30

Paul recently got to sit down with Danielle Bezalel from the fantastic Sex Ed with DB podcast to talk all about the Jennifer Garner classic 13 Going On 30! DB and Paul talk about the ethics of age-gap romance when time travel is involved, and why 2000s films were so obsessed with pitting women against each other. Plus: dollhouses, dream jobs, and whether Matty is actually too good for Jenna! Give it a listen and check out DB on all platforms! ABOUT SEX ED WITH DB : Sex Ed with DB is your go-to p...

Spies Like Us (1985) - Wordplay, Ninjas & a Delayed Grenade

It’s that special time, where Erika and Paul dive into an 80s comedy! This week, they’re talking about the Dan Aykroyd and Chevy Chase vehicle Spies Like Us…and you might think you can guess how they’ll feel about it, but this is a film that defies (some) expectations. For instance, if you were expecting it NOT to have a Bob Hope cameo…you would be wrong!

Mission: Impossible (1996) - Face Rips, Undercover Flight Attendants & an Aquarium/Restaurant

It’s May, it’s May, the lusty month of May! Despite that introduction, Paul and Erika aren’t talking about musicals, or Camelot, or Julie Andrews…no, they’re spending the month talking about spy movies! And how else could they kick off this month than by talking about the film that took the desire deep in Tom Cruise’s heart to one day die while flinging himself off of a moving train, and fanning that desire into a spark, and that spark into a flame, and that flame into a hugely successful film f...

Mystic Pizza (1988) - Hot Privilege, Fourth Jobs & a Murder House

Wedding April closes out with a film that’s about a wedding…but also about so much more! One of our earliest mass exposures to Julia Roberts, Mystic Pizza also has room for Annabeth Gish, Lili Taylor, Conchata Ferrell, and trio of stone-cold hotties. Erika and Paul are here to talk you through pool games, hitchhiking and boner killers as they dive into Mystic Pizza!

Father of the Bride (1991) - Unforced Errors, Invented Accents & an Exercise in Financial Insanity

Last week, Erika and Paul kicked off Wedding Movie Month with a modern, Oscar-nominated classic. This week, they aimed a little lower and went for the Jennifer Lopez rom-com The Wedding Planner! While this movie might not have everything, this episode does: marriage proposals, multiple impressions of famous people, and, of course, a Kraft Mac & cheese versus Rice-A-Roni debate!

The Wedding Banquet (1993) - Fairies, Drunken Revelry & an Acid Wash Denim Tank Top

Happy April, everyone…That Aged Well is ringing in the spring by talking about wedding movies all month. And what better film to kick it off with than Ang Lee’s The Wedding Banquet? Now, did this movie having a soon-to-be-released remake have something to do with this scheduling as well?? Who can say? But, even without the remake, enjoy this modern classic from the 90s!

Crazy Technology Month comes to a close with our Patreon Pick, WarGames starring Matthew Broderick, Ally Sheedy, and Dabney Coleman!

Sneakers (1992) - Icons, Anagrams & a Black Box

Here it is, the movie that gave us the idea for Technology Month in the first place: Robert Redford in Sneakers! And not just Robert Redford, but also Sidney Poitier, David Strathairn, River Phoenix, Dan Aykroyd, Ben Kingsley and the queen, Mary McDonnell…it’s a cast so stacked, the film might as well be about pancakes.

Honey, I Shrunk The Kids (1989) - Documentaries, Duran Duran & a Balanced Breakfast

From technology that kinda-sorta makes sense in The Net, Paul and Erika head into full on sci-fi territory for the Rick Moranis smash Honey, I Shrunk The Kids! The film inspires them to offer thoughts on fishing and camping, fall in love with an animatronic ant, and wonder at the different potential applications of a Shrink Ray…all while giving them a chance to see Kristine Sutherland, aka Joyce Summers, aka Buffy’s Mom. You know they’ll be happy about that! You can follow That Aged Well on Blue...
