The Rock – 1996 – ep107

“The Rock” asks the age-old question: Glass or plastic? Whether you want your VX-gas-riddled corpse stored in a glass jar or a plastic bag, Nicolas Cage’s FBI science nerd Stanley Goodspeed will be there to analyze it. Sean Connery gets top-billing in Michael Bay’s ridiculous, violent and super-fun action-adventure, but it’s Cage’s non-swearing accidental badass […]

Top Gun – 1986 – ep106

Maverick’s ego is writing checks his body can’t cash in “Top Gun,” one of the most testosterone-fueled 80s movies of all-time. Guys with names like Cougar and Iceman and Merlin (Oh hai Tim Robbins) glare at each other and sweat a bunch. And the beach volleyball scene? Hoochie mama! Look at Tom Cruise rocking those

Old Millennials Remember Movies, Podcasts / Angela Yoshiko / May 19, 2021

Fire up the Sega Genesis and GET OVER HERE! It’s “Mortal Kombat” from 1995, which is still better than 99 percent of all movies based on video games. What’s the one percent that tops it, you ask? “Sonic the Hedgehog,” obviously. Look, “Mortal Kombat” isn’t spectacular by any stretch, and boy howdy, some of these

Old Millennials Remember Movies, Podcasts / Angela Yoshiko / April 4, 2021

If your friend gets sucked in a magical board game, keep playing. Don’t make him live in a deadly jungle for 26 years. Long before The Rock got involved, “Jumanji” was a vehicle for the late, great Robin Williams at the peak of his movie stardom. Oddly, it takes a while for Williams to make

Old Millennials Remember Movies / Angela Yoshiko / February 9, 2021

Well it’s Groundhog Day… again. The Old Millennials tackle a genuine classic. The quintessential time loop movie features a never better Bill Murray as arrogant jerkstore weatherman Phil Connors, a man forced to relive the same day in Punxsutawney, Penn. He also becomes smitten with co-worker Andie MacDowell and… oh, what are we doing? Everybody

Trading Places – ep95 – 1983

Old Millennials Remember Movies, Podcasts / Angela Yoshiko / January 12, 2021

Nature vs. nurture. Eddie Murphy vs. the establishment. Jamie Lee Curtis vs. shirts. “Trading Places,” from John Landis, is one of the defining Murphy comedies of the 80s. Plus Dan Aykroyd is there doing a “rich” accent! You know the story: Two evil rich guys (Ralph Bellamy and Don Ameche) orchestrate a bet in which
