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

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
