Website | Merch | Twitter Have you ever wanted to see a dog play basketball? Well, we never thought we wanted to either. But after watching Air Bud, I really do. We can't speak for all the sequels, but this one was not too bad. It also led us down an interesting rabbit hole of researching the story of the real Buddy... who stars in this movie! If you have thoughts or feedback on this episode, let us know on Twitter or email us at TheVCRKids@gmail.com The VCR Kids and Jim the Shoulder Cat Tee Shi...

Website | Merch | Twitter Godzilla came out in 1998 and it is a RELIC of it's time. A terrible, poorly thought out, just all around dumb relic. Matthew Broderick plays a worm scientist, the French characters cannot stop talking about coffee, and a giant, radiated iguana has a REAL hunger for some fish. Listen to the latest episode of The VCR Kids to hear our memories, and our thoughts on rewatching. This week's promo is for Suck My Fic. Check them out at SuckMyFic.com or on Twitter @SuckMyFic Wa...

Shoulder Cats Radio | Get Our Merch | Follow us on Twitter This summer is the season for Live-Action Remakes of Disney Classics. We decided we would get the party started with one of the first: 101 Dalmatians. If you remember anything from this movie, it was probably Glenn Close’s turn at Cruella. It was definitely interesting to revisit. If you have fond memories of this movie, join the conversation with us on Twitter!

http://tee.pub/lic/jhXiJmyCfJE SMOKIN’! We watched The Mask and talk all about the 1994 film that BROKE popular culture. Why do we remember the Saturday morning cartoon more than the movie who spawned it? Maybe a rewatch will answer those questions. Guess what, Erin fell asleep!

The Rescuers Down Under was one of those rare movies in which the sequel was actually way better! We enjoyed revisiting this classic film from our childhoods and hope you enjoy hearing us talk about it!

To bring in our second 50 movies, we’re going back to where it all began! You may or may not have seen this sequel to the classic kids movie, but Jay definitely did! Erin, predictably, is not a fan. And Richard rides the line of enjoyment and criticism. Check out our latest episode to revisit Fantasia, Atreyu, Falcor and Bastian!

We know, we know, this movie is a bit out of our normal timeline. But hey, it had a big impact on us as (older) kids and on movies to come, so we figured it was time to dig into Shrek and see if it still holds up!

We watched the Oscar-Nominated film Babe in honor of the Year of the Pig. What a surprise this was! For a film that has fallen into almost complete obscurity, this definitely makes it onto our “revisit” list.

Andrew is finally back to watch the next installment of the Harry Potter series. This week, what is widely regarded as one of the best book/movie combos: The Half-Blood Prince.

Erin finally convinced us to watch Life-Size starring Tyra Banks and Lindsay Lohan. It was quite an adventure even FINDING this movie, but in the end, we think it was worth it. Never heard of this? Haven't watched it since childhood? Maybe you should check it out. Then again, maybe not.

This week we watched the 80’s Classic, The Goonies. Full disclosure, this movie did come out before any of us were born, but it did hold a special place in our formative years. We rewatched it for the first time in a long time and try and decide whether or not it holds up today. Should a Goonies remake be in the works? We’ll let you know on this week’s episode of The VCR Kids! Please Rate and Review our show . This helps more people find us! Check out DinoKnit on Etsy for hand-made holiday gifts...
