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 – 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 – 1997 – ep108

Old Millennials Remember Movies, Podcasts / Angela Yoshiko / August 4, 2021

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

The Rock – 1996 – ep107

Old Millennials Remember Movies, Podcasts / Angela Yoshiko / July 6, 2021

“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 – 1986 – ep106

Old Millennials Remember Movies, Podcasts / Angela Yoshiko / June 24, 2021

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 – 1984 – ep105

Old Millennials Remember Movies, Podcasts / Tyler Wilson / June 3, 2021

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

Mortal Kombat – 1995 – ep 104

Old Millennials Remember Movies, Podcasts / Angela Yoshiko / May 19, 2021

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 III – ep103 – 2001

Old Millennials Remember Movies, Podcasts / Tyler Wilson / April 18, 2021

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

Old Millennials Remember Movies, Podcasts / Angela Yoshiko / April 4, 2021

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
