MINI-BYTE: The Adventures of Pete and Pete

Remember when you were a kid? Your world was as small and linear as it was ever going to be. But somehow everything inside of it felt bigger and more important than you could possibly fathom. Nickelodeon’s The Adventures of Pete and Pete somehow perfectly encapsulated the feelings of grandiosity and wonder in the most simple of things when growing up. Let’s look back on possibly one of the most timeless shows of the 90’s. •0:00:00- Introductions/Reviews/Chats •0:04:30- Special voicemail message ...

Jurassic Park (1993)

They say you should never meet your heroes. whether your hero is the person funding your projects, or it's a 40 ft tall thunder lizard that's been spliced with frog DNA. Jurassic Park; is it a kids movie? A horror flick? Somewhere in between? With an all star cast, some of the best screams in cinema, a John Williams score, and special effects that, unlike dinosaurs themselves, have stood the test of time, we dive in deep to see if we're still infatuated with the original Jurassic Park. •0:00:00-...

Encino Man (1992)

Encino Man is here to tell the story of an unfrozen caveman and the two dudes that dig him up on accident. Turns out the ice-age has got nothing on high school.

Heavyweights (1995)

Are you ready for the best damn Summer of your life?? Buckle up captain! We’re headed to fat camp! Beneath the paunchy layer of weight jokes lies a classic Disney moral lesson and a Ben Stiller performance that still haunts us in a good way. Is Camp Hope actually a con for parents? Is Tony just misunderstood for trying to help kids get healthy? Did we really need another montage to “I Want Candy”?

The Sandlot (1993)

At one point in your childhood, you and all your friends got together for last time and didn’t realize it.

The Sandlot taught us the importance of friendship, to take your shot when you see it and that heroes get remembered, but legends never die. •0:00:00- Introductions/Reviews/Chats •0:10:00- Pertinent movie deta...

Can movies be made into video games? Or maybe more importantly, can video games really be made into movies? This may be one of the few that makes the cut.
