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

Old Millennials Remember Movies, Podcasts / Angela Yoshiko / November 4, 2020

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 – ep 89 – 1999

Old Millennials Remember Movies, Podcasts / Angela Yoshiko / October 23, 2020

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

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

Old Millennials Remember Movies, Podcasts / Angela Yoshiko / September 14, 2020

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

Old Millennials Remember Movies, Podcasts / Angela Yoshiko / August 21, 2020

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
