Serendipity – OMRM – ep 25 – 2001

Two selfish dreamers make a series of terrible decisions based on “signs” because “fate.” But, hey, it’s romantic! There are a couple of warm, Christmas-set scenes, an idealized version of New York City, and John Cusack pushing that classic Cusack-Charm to its absolute limit. Look, it’s a bad movie, but maybe, just maybe, the world […]

Scrooged – ep 24 – OMRM – 1988

Bill Murray and Christmas. It should be a great fit. Heck, Bill Murray and anything is a great fit. So what happened with “Scrooged”? It’s a dark, comedic (?), very 1980s revival of “A Christmas Carol” with Murray firing ad libs with reckless abandon. There are a couple of iconic moments here, but also 90

Beethoven – ep 22 – OMRM – 1992

Old Millennials Remember Movies, Podcasts / Angela Yoshiko / November 20, 2018

“Beethoven,” like many 90s children’s movies, is more disturbing than you remember. The villain is a veterinarian who needs a giant dog so he can test out some exploding bullets. Charles Grodin mistakes the licks of a St. Bernard for the flirtatious kisses of his wife. Stanley “The Tooch” Tucci is here as a henchman with an unnerving dialect. The dog slobber. So much dog slobber. Can “Beethoven” overcome all this and be an enduring children’s classic for future generations? Regardless of the answer, Charles Grodin is annoyed by the question.

They’re the few. They’re the proud. They’re the Waterboys! Back in the 90s, there was a thing called Pauly Shore. “In the Army Now” is the movie where Pauly shaved off his gorgeous mane and went to the desert to face scorpions, cultural stereotypes and a streaking Andy Dick. Pauly Shore may be a punchline now,
