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

Planes, Trains and Automobiles – ep 92 – 1987

Here’s an idea: Have a point! It makes it so much more interesting for the listener. 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

The Addams Family 1991 and Addams Family Values 1993 – ep 88

“They do what they wanna do, say what they wanna say, live how they wanna live, play what they wanna play, dance how they wanna dance, kick and they slap a friend, The Addams Family!” Yes, MC Hammer provides the soundtrack to the live-action, big screen update of “The Addams Family.” If anything, it’s Cousin

Never Been Kissed

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

The Negotiator – ep85 – 1998

YOU WANT MY BLOOD?! TAKE IT! TAKE MY BLOOD! Samuel L. Jackson delivers a bunch of great lines in “The Negotiator,” one of the surprisingly few mainstream movies where the Man gets true top billing. Sam Jackson is a national treasure, and come to think of it, we’d love to see Nic Cage and Sammy
