Old Millennials Remember Movies

We look back and remember movies from 1980 through 2002 (when we started college). We kick off each episode with a chat about what we’ve seen recently, and then we dive into the featured movie. We share our memories of seeing the movie back in the day and then discuss our thoughts and reactions to re-watching it again.

Casper movie

Casper – 1995 – ep 114

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

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

Norm Macdonald Dirty Work

Norm Macdonald and Dirty Work – 1998 – ep 112

Norm Macdonald was a favorite of the Old Millennials Remember Movies team. Hosts Tyler and Angela react to the shocking death of the legendary comedian by taking a special “Norm journey” through memories and favorite moments from his career. After all, they both watched a whole lot of Norm on The TeeV. Back in high

Back to the Timecop Future

Back to the Timecop Future – 1985-1994 – ep 111

Great Scott! It’s a special time travel episode of Old Millennials Remember Movies, with a special focus on the outrageous Jean-Claude Van Damme extravaganza, “Timecop” from 1994! Give your legs a stretch, because you might need to do the splits a few times during this episode. First up, Old Millennials Tyler and Angela discuss showing

Pirates of the Caribbean

Pirates of the Caribbean – 2003-2017 – ep110

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. Yes, we know talking about Johnny Depp is a thorny issue these days, but thankfully, the charm, spectacle and weirdness of the “Pirates” franchise extends far beyond a

Armageddon 1998

Armageddon – 1998 – ep109

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,

Con Air

Con Air – 1997 – ep108

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

Cage The Rock

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 Thumbs Up

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

Beverly Hills Cop

Beverly Hills Cop – 1984 – ep105

If you get room service delivered to your car while you’re on a stakeout, chances are you’re about to get a banana in your tailpipe. It’s another masterful Eddie Murphy performance in the action-comedy “Beverly Hills Cop.” Operating in a fairly standard cop procedural plot, Murphy elevates every scene as the impulsive, insubordinate and fast-talking
