Heathers (1989)

Have you seen 1989’s ‘Heathers’ yet? Christian Slater, Winona Ryder and Shannen Doherty lead the way in one of the true definitions of the phrase ‘cult classic’ and it should be added to your list.

Road Trip (2000)

Are you here for the feeding? Join us as we review one of the most-quoted and highest-grossing movies of the new millennium. Is it still as funny as we remember it? Did this movie come up with the “it’s not cheating if it’s a different area code” rule? Is E.L. just Stiffler after he graduated high school and went to college? Is this yet another example of a story that doesn’t happen if cell phones were around? Whether or not you loved Tom Green and/or had a huge crush on Amy Smart, you are going...

101 Dalmatians (1961)

For a movie that is Rated G, we sure made sure to make our discussion R-rated! But it's not our fault, it's Walt Disney's fault.

Empire Records (1995)

Today isn’t Rex Manning Day- It’s Empire Records Day. Just like the cast of this movie hates on Rex Manning for being a washed-up, has-been, we air some grievances against this nearly 30-year old movie. When you wipe the nostalgia away, is this just a movie with a nonsensical plot, a bad script and a terrible soundtrack? Or is it one of the best “24-hour hangout” movies of the 90s?

Little Shop of Horrors (1986)

Let us get this straight- tthis movie has John Candy, Rick Moranis, Bill Murray and Steve Martin in it?! How is this not more popular?! On today’s episode, we discuss a film adaptation that is based on a musical that is based on the original film. A movie that held the record for the most money ever spent by Warner Brothers at the time of it’s release. Many would agree that it’s the best movie musical of all-time.

RoboCop (1987)

RoboCop captured the hearts and imaginations of people around the world in 1987 but 35 years later, it can’t possibly still hold up, right? There’s no way that the special effects could still be good, right? The gruesome violence probably isn’t as bad as we thought it was as kids, right? We probably hate Bob Morton the most out of any of the bad guys, right? This might go a little different that we thought!

Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sinbad, Phil Hartman and Christmas?! Jingle All the Way can’t go wrong…. or can it? We review this movie with a modern eye to see what it got right and what it got wrong. Do divorces make you a better parent? Is Phil Hartman the funniest part of this movie? Is Jamie a worse Christmas movie kid than Charlie from The Santa Clause?

Die Hard (1988)

Whether or not you think Die Hard is or isn’t a Christmas movie, we can all at least agree that it’s just a good movie. Period. One of the most popular action movies of all-time is finally getting it’s turn for a modern-day review. Was Ellis actually a good guy trying to save his co-worker’s lives? Is Bruce Willis one of the best on-screen smokers? How did they expect to fit 13 bad guys and the loot in that little ambulance? Did you know that Die Hard is in the same universe as Family Matters?

Last Action Hero (1993)

Last Action Hero was considered major FLOP when it debuted in 1993. It could have been that it was just ahead of it’s time and people weren’t ready for it. It also could have been that Jurassic Park came out right before this. Regardless, we take a look back on this film with a modern eye to see how we feel about it.

Is Scrooged a holiday classic or is it just a vehicle for Bill Murray to… well, be Bill Murray? We dive deep into this movie and answer the hard-hitting questions like, what ghost is the scariest?
