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.

Goro Mortal Kombat

Mortal Kombat – 1995 – ep 104

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 […]

Jurassic Park-3

Jurassic Park III – ep103 – 2001

Raptors speak! Kinda. “Jurassic Park III” gets a lot of grief for being silly, short and a little too far removed from the majesty and grandeur of the Steven Spielberg-directed efforts. But that’s kinda why we like it! “Jurassic Park III” just wants to be a breezy thrill machine, and it will do whatever it

Jumanji – ep 102 – 1995

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

Scuttle March Madness

March Madness Disney Sidekick Edition – ep 101 – plus SXSW

Cage Match time. Abu the Monkey vs. Baloo the Bear. Slinky Dog vs. Bullseye. Flounder vs. Meeko. Timon vs. Pumba?! Such nerve-wrenching match-ups could happen in the 2021 edition of Old Millennials Remember Movies March Madness. Tyler and Angela work together to choose the BEST Disney Animation sidekick from the 80s, 90s and a pool

Matrix Trilogy

Matrix Trilogy – ep 100 – 1999-2003

Mr. Anderson! It’s the 100th episode of Old Millennials Remember Movies! For that special occasion, we’re talking THREE movies… the groundbreaking science-fiction blockbuster, “The Matrix” from 1999 and its divisive sequels, “The Matrix Reloaded” and “The Matrix Revolutions” from 2003. Old Millennials Tyler and Angela actually saw the sequels together back in 2003 (a first

Chasing Amy – ep 99 – 1997

Well would you look at this morose *expletive deleted* right here. Smells like someone *expletive deleted* in your cereal. It’s important to remember just how well-received “Chasing Amy” was back in 1997. Writer/director Kevin Smith followed his breakthrough debut “Clerks” with the then-ignored “Mallrats.” Smith scaled back for a relationship drama about Holden McNeil (Ben

Groundhog Day – ep 98 – 1993

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

Best Movies of the Pandemic Year – ep97 – 2020

Hey quarantiners! It’s been about a year (ish) since the Old Millennials stopped going to movie theaters, and it lines up with our annual tradition of recapping our favorite movies of the past year. Tyler managed to see about as many new movies as he usually does, but Angela couldn’t keep pace while still fitting

MIss Congeniality – ep96 – 2000

It’s Sandy New Year! We continue a January tradition of viewing an Old Millennials-era Sandra Bullock movie. For 2021, we’re putting on our best pageant gowns for “Miss Congeniality,” the comedy where a dorky FBI agent must go undercover at a Miss America-style beauty pageant in order to stop a terrorist attack. Terrorists blowing up

Trading Places 1983

Trading Places – ep95 – 1983

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
