A Christmas Story – ep94 – 1983

Fa la la la la, la la la casual racism. Aside from the slight blemish at the end of the film, “A Christmas Story” remains a certifiable holiday classic, thanks in no small part to the film’s annual Christmas Day marathon on TBS. The story of Ralphie and his quest to obtain a Red Ryder BB […]

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer – ep93 – 1964

We break all the rules with this holiday episode of Old Millennials Remember Movies. The beloved television special “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer” isn’t a movie, and it didn’t come out in the 80s or 90s. Nevertheless, the Rankin/Bass stop-motion animated special was a formative experience for children of many generations. It still gets played every

Those famous, cruel words in “Planes, Trains and Automobiles” aren’t always taken to heart on a typical episode of Old Millennials Remember Movies, but for the sake of this John Hughes comedy classic, we’ll give it a try this

Nightmare-Before-Christmas

The Nightmare Before Christmas – ep 90 – 1993 plus Poltergeist -1982

This is Halloween… or this is Christmas… or when are we supposed to watch “The Nightmare Before Christmas” every year? The short answer, of course, is anytime, as the Henry Selick-directed stop-motion animated musical has become a certifiable classic. People love this movie, especially people who buy all their clothes at Hot Topic. It’s a

Sleepy Hollow 1999

Sleepy Hollow – ep 89 – 1999

So many heads roll in “Sleepy Hollow,” Tim Burton’s gory, uber-Gothic blockbuster based on the classic Washington Irving story. This movie goes big with cartoonish spurts of blood, spinal stumps, a bombastic Danny Elfman score and an undead ax murderer in search of Christopher Walken’s head. Travel all the way back to a time when

Never Been Kissed – ep 87 – 1999

Yikes. There’s no way to justify all that’s wrong with the Josie Grossie – Alias Afterthought student-teacher relationship in this Drew Barrymore “romance.”

Ferris Bueller’s Day Off – ep 86 – 1986

Life moves pretty fast. Just not the middle section of “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.” Okay, so that was a bit of a cheap shot. By many accounts, this John Hughes classic deserves its place as one of the most enduring comedies of the 1980s, despite a few questionable narrative pit stops in the movie’s middle-act

Screech’s Spaghetti Sauce – ep12 – Saved by the Bell to the Max – S4E3

“The sauce-a you can have, but the secret? She’s A MINE!” Another “Saved by the Bell” episode that begins one way and takes a hard turn into another plotline entirely. The gang produces a cable access news broadcast, but Screech’s cooking segment inexplicably sparks a sensation around Bayside. He also makes incredible spaghetti sauce, and
