Hercules

Hercules – 1997 – ep 133

“Hercules! Hercules Hercules!” – some Eddie Murphy character not in Disney’s “Hercules.” The first half of the 1990s was a pinnacle for Disney Animation. After the run of “The Little Mermaid” (technically 1989), “Beauty and the Beast,” “Aladdin” and “The Lion King” (plus Pixar’s debut “Toy Story” in 1995), the studio had nowhere to go […]

The Mummy

The Mummy – 1999 – ep 132

All this movie really needed to be great was Brendan Frasier defeating a bunch of swordfighting ghouls before turning to the camera and grin-shrugging, “Mummies!”

Apollo 13

Apollo 13 – 1995 – ep 131

Lt. Dan can’t go to space because he *might* get the measles, then Bill Paxton gets all sick up there. Maybe Tom Hanks is poisoning them, or they all have space dementia like Steve Buscemi.

Batman Forever 1995

Batman Forever – 1995 – ep 130

“Baby, I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the grey.” The swooning words to Seal’s mega-hit song from the “Batman Forever” soundtrack most likely refers to the relationship between Batman/Bruce Wayne and Dr. Chase Meridian, and definitely NOT the working relationship between actors Tommy Lee Jones and Jim Carrey. So the legend

Peggy Sue Got Married

Peggy Sue Got Married – 1986 – ep 129

What if you could travel back in time to undo all the stupid decisions you made as a teenager? Sounds like a fantasy of many Old Millennials out there, or really anyone who went to high school beyond yesterday. That’s (sort of) the premise of “Peggy Sue Got Married,” which sees the titular character played

Lake Placid

Lake Placid – 1999 – ep 128

You might be surprised to learn that the little-seen creature-feature “Lake Placid” contains more sparring between Brendan Gleeson and Oliver Platt than it does giant crocodile mayhem. And it’s all the better for it! David E. Kelley, notable creator and writer of courtroom dramas like “The Practice,” “Boston Legal” and “Ally McBeal,” wrote this Croc

Spider-Man 2002

Spider-Man – 2002 – ep 127

“You’re out, Gobby. Out of your mind!” While “X-Men” became a superhit in the 2000 (in the YEAR 2000!), the real onslaught of superhero movies began in 2002 with Sam Raimi’s “Spider-Man,” a sometimes-silly-but-undeniably entertaining origin story about everyone’s favorite wall crawler. Yes, that Green Goblin mask looked stupid in 2002, so much so that future

Terminator 2 Battle of the Sequels

Battle of 90s Sequels – March Madness + SXSW – ep 126

In a battle of prominent sequels of the 1990s, only the best make it to the Final Four… unless one of the Old Millennials Hosts screws up the seeding… then anything can happen! That’s right, “Lethal Weapon 4” has a shot at glory! In our third installment of a (late) March tradition, Old Millennials hosts

Hook 1991

Hook – 1991 – ep 125

“Lookie, Lookie, I got traumatic memories of Captain Hook stabbing a child to death.” Years before Legacy Sequels were cool, Steven Spielberg decided to ask the question, “What if Peter Pan grew up and forgot all about Neverland?” Turns out he’d be a corporate lawyer and his kids hate him! “Hook” had a killer premise,

Ninja Turtles

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Trilogy – 1990-1993 – ep 124

Are you a  “T-U-R-T-L-E Power” lad or a “Ninja Rap” kid? How you answer may determine what kind of fan you are of the 1990 live-action version of “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” and its two direct sequels from 1991 and 1993. If you said “Ninja Rap,” then chances are your feelings about early 90s Turtle
