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.

Rad 1986

Rad – ep 84 – 1986

Do you like kids on bikes doing sweet jumps!? What about Aunt Becky (pre-“Full House” and pre-pre college admissions scandal) performing THE quintessential prom dance/sl0-mo bicycle stunt/bicycle posing sequence of the 20th century? How about sassy kid sisters who tell jerkfaces to “GET OUTTA TOWN, JACK!”? Still not enough for you? Fine, then here’s a […]

Fifth-Element

The Fifth Element – ep 83 – 1997

Leeloo Dallas Multipass! Pack your bags for Fhloston Paradise and get ready for “The Fifth Element,” a very weird, very French science-fiction adventure. It’s endlessly re-watchable, thanks to its constantly evolving plot, strange side characters and Gary Oldman having an intense telephone conversation with a giant evil blob. Oh, did we mention his hair? And

Ladybugs Soccer Podcast

The Big Green (1995) and Ladybugs (1992) – ep 82

Get ready for the youth soccer edition of Old Millennials Remember Movies! Okay, disclaimer: Hosts Angela and Tyler don’t really like soccer, and they really don’t know why they decided to watch these little-seen soccer movies from the 90s. “The Big Green” is your standard live-action Disney sports comedy – think “The Mighty Ducks” only

Goonies Podcast

Goonies – ep 81 – 1985 plus Hamilton

Note to self: Resist the urge to start this post with “Hey, you guys!” Don’t do it. That’s so lame. Every podcast about “The Goonies” probably starts with “Hey, you guys!” Or at least the lame podcasts do. Ah, screw it. Hey, you guys! It’s the Old Millennials Remember Movies episode on the 80s classic,

One Crazy Summer 1986

One Crazy Summer -ep80 – 1986

The 80s-era John Cusack movie nobody talks about, “One Crazy Summer” is ONE. CRAZY. MOVIE. Something insane happens every minute of this 1986 screwball teen comedy, about a wannabe artist named Hoops McCann (he’s actually bad at basketball) who heads to Nantucket for summer vacation with his friend George CALAMARI. Other names in this movie

Galaxy Quest

Galaxy Quest – ep 79 – 1999

By Grabthar’s Hammer, what a savings! “Galaxy Quest” was well-reviewed back in 1999, but it only found moderate success at the box office. The PG rating suggested it was a kid’s movie, but the humor spoke more to a generation that appreciated the world of “Star Trek” and retro science-fiction. Luckily, the following for “Galaxy

Point Break Podcast - Old Millennials

Point Break – ep 78 – 1991

Is there a better name in American cinema than Johnny Utah? No. In the 90s action classic, “Point Break,” Keanu Reeves plays the legendary undercover FBI agent who is first described as “young, dumb and full of…” well, it’s kinda gross honestly, but it’s an accurate description. Johnny poses as a surfer to learn more

Matilda – ep77 – 1996

“Listen you little wiseacre. I’m smart; you’re dumb. I’m big; you’re little. I’m right; you’re wrong. And there’s nothing you can do about it.” – Parents to their kids during the 2020 quarantine. Actually, that’s a Danny DeVito rant from “Matilda,” a charming movie adaptation of the Roald Dahl children’s book. Most of the adults

Stuart Little Podcast

Stuart Little – ep76 – 1999 plus Quarantine Movies

Have you ever read “Stuart Little,” the classic children’s book by E.B. White? It’s… not how you remember it. Let’s just be honest here: “Charlotte’s Web” is E.B. White’s masterpiece. “Stuart Little” is weird. Old Millennials Remember Movies host Angela Yoshiko discusses reading the book to her children recently, and why the kids thought it

Homeward Bound

Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey – ep75 – 1993

If a “wise” old Golden Retriever tells you to leave the ranch and venture into the wilderness, don’t listen to him. He’s stupid. “Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey” is a Disney remake of the 1963 animal adventure, itself based on a book. But who cares about all that? This one has Marty McFly voicing a
