Mrs. Doubtfire – 1993 – ep 117

It’s the hilarious, smash hit family comedy… about a bitter divorce! The late, great Robin Williams was at the top of his game in 1993, and “Mrs. Doubtfire” let the comic actor run amok even when not dressing up like an old lady. Seriously, his character here, Daniel Hillard, is pretty unhinged, and it kinda […]

Labyrinth – 1986 – ep 116

You remind me of the babe! The babe with the power! The power of voodoo! Few David Bowie fans would cite his songs in the 1986 fantasy epic “Labyrinth” as the best music of his career. But who cares?! Bowie is awesome, and yeah, these songs aren’t great, but come on! It’s Bowie in a

Halloween III: Season of the Witch – 1982 – ep 115

Old Millennials Remember Movies, Podcasts / Angela Yoshiko / October 28, 2021

Wait, how many days until Halloween? Oh, good, there’s a super-easy-to-remember-and-not-at-all-annoying jingle to keep the dates in mind. Once the disregarded afterthought of the “Halloween” franchise, “Halloween III: Season of the Witch” has become the cult curiosity it always deserved to be. No murderous Michael Myers in this one (unless you count a brief appearance

Casper – 1995 – ep 114

Old Millennials Remember Movies, Podcasts / Angela Yoshiko / October 23, 2021

Casper is a friendly ghost with a sad-as-hell backstory. Plus, maybe an uncomfortable obsession with Christina Ricci? The live-action “Casper” is notable for being the first movie with a CGI lead, and thankfully, the ghost-like effects here were made purposefully cartoonish rather than photo-realistic. That’d be weird and awkward, but don’t worry; “Casper” is weird

Beetlejuice – 1988 – ep113

He’s the ghost with the most… and also a huge pervert. Tim Burton’s “Beetlejuice” is very Tim Burton. It’s an impressive production given the modest budget – you’ve got all the in-demand Burton essentials – a killer Danny Elfman score, whimsical set design, funky makeup and super goths (actually just young Winona Ryder as Lydia

On the swashbuckling finale of the Old Millennials Remember Movies SUMMER OF BRUCKHEIMER, co-hosts Tyler and Angela discuss the entirety of Disney’s “Pirates of the Caribbean” franchise.

Armageddon – 1998 – ep109

Old Millennials Remember Movies, Podcasts / Angela Yoshiko / August 17, 2021

An asteroid the size of Texas that literally “roars” as it approaches Earth perfectly represents the over-the-top and punishing nature of Michael Bay’s “Armageddon,” a movie with about 1,000 action sequences, 10,000 one-liners and roughly 65 million cuts. No single shot lasts more than a second or so. It may not be a great movie,

Make a move and the bunny gets it! Holding a stuffed animal at gunpoint is just one of the many evil deeds committed by Cyrus the Virus in “Con Air,” an R-rated action extravaganza that makes no sense but absolutely rules anyway. Cyrus the Virus is a swaggering supervillain played with gleeful panache by John
