The VCR Kids
This is Jay, Erin, and Richard, and we're The VCR Kids! We watch movies from our childhood and see if they still hold up. Every week we take a movie we loved (or maybe just watched) as a child and submit it for review to our adult brains. We also have special episodes on Pretentious Picks, and our Harry Potter Virgin series where we force our friend Andrew to watch all the movies. Subscribe to the show and tell your friends! Shoot us a line on social media @TheVCRKids, we'd love to hear from you!

035 Child's Play
As promised, we have Part 2 of our Halloween Special Episodes. In this we watch Child's Play. Richard watched this at way too young an age, and some may argue it's had irreparable affects. Jay gets into the movie and Erin enlightens us all to the real ghost story this was based on. http://shouldercatsradio.com and click the "Advertise" button if you want to put a message on our next episode!

029 Beethoven
We watched Beethoven (The first one, obviously)! Erin has a lot of opinions about animals talking even though no animals talk in this movie. Jim tries to get in on the action too. All around a good time! If you enjoy this episode, tell your friends!

026 We're Back! A Dinosaur Story
Roll back the clock to the dawn of time! Our buddy Geoff joins us this week to watch one of our childhood favorites. Did you know John Goodman, Jay Leno, Martin Short and Julia Child all lended their voices to this movie? Along with many more. We had a lot of fun revisiting this and came up with a few Screw-Eyed theories of our own!

025 Mouse Hunt
Nathan Lane heads this 1997 film you probably haven't thought of in 20 years. Keep your eyes open for the Christopher Walken cameo. Also, we got new mics! We sound so much better!
Aug 07, 2018•56 min
024 A Goofy Movie
The room was pretty split on this one, folks. But it definitely struck a nerve with a lot of people! Take a listen and give us the ol' 5 star review if you like it!
Jul 31, 2018•49 min
023 The Borrowers
John Goodman stars in this 1997 film with all KINDS of cameos by British Actors. A must-watch if you read the books or are a super-geek of the Harry Potter films. A maybe could watch otherwise.

022 - Mighty Joe Young
Ooooooh boy, this was a tough one, guys. Honestly, I don't recommend watching this one if you can help it. But the episode was fun!
Jul 17, 2018•40 min
021 - The Indian in the Cupboard
We needed a break from Harry Potter... SO we watched a movie you probably haven't thought of since you were 10! The Indian in the Cupboard was much better than we expected... but not great. Our friend Ian guest hosts, and we have the premier of The Richard Minute.

The Harry Potter Virgin Pt. 2 - The Chamber of Secrets (The VCR Kids)
Andrew returns to watch The Chamber of Secrets. You guys, this movie was SO LONG! But overall pretty enjoyable. Please help spread the word about The VCR Kids! Tell your friends and hit subscribe on their computers when they're taking too long in the bathroom!
Jul 03, 2018•45 min
Special Episode! The Harry Potter Virgin pt.1
Richard is out of town, so we figured it was the perfect time to trick returning guest Andrew into watching Harry Potter! If you've never heard a grown man experience Harry Potter, you're in for a treat.

016 The Land Before Time
Time for another Don Bluth classic. (seriously, we need to find another director...) The Land Before Time is the first in a series of FOURTEEN FILMS that all of us have seen but none of us remember. Does it hold up?
