I Remember Liking That Movie

Firewalker (1986): Indiana Jones on a Budget… Way on a Budget

We rewatched Firewalker… and yeah, it’s not exactly how we remembered. Action & Adventure? Yes. Budget? Not so much.

Remember The Titans (2000): It Had Denzel. It Had Football. We Hit Play.

Do you remember Remember the Titans from 2000? We remember it was about football. It had Denzel Washington… and it was about football. Honestly, what more do you need?

Cool Runnings (1993): Jamaica, Bobsleds & John Candy

Do you remember Cool Runnings from the 90s? Because we do… kind of. It’s a bit of a blur, but we remember Jamaica, bobsledding, and John Candy, and honestly, that might be enough. Join us as we revisit a movie we remember being silly, funny, dramatic, and inspirational… and see if it still holds up, or if nostalgia is doing all the heavy lifting.

Invasion U.S.A. (1985): We Remember Explosions… Not the Plot

Remember Invasion U.S.A. starring Chuck Norris? We don’t remember much of the plot… probably because there isn’t much of one. But we do remember Chuck kicking ass, a ridiculous amount of explosions, and absolutely zero concern for realism, and honestly, isn’t that all you really need in a Chuck Norris movie?

Critters 2 (1988): Because Easter Needed More Violence

“Easter… but with killer furballs.” Do you remember Critters 2: The Main Course? One of the very few Easter horror movies… for good reason. The eggs hatch, the Critters are back, and somehow the town drunk is now a bounty hunter.We revisit this chaotic 80s sequel to see if it still holds up, or if it should’ve stayed buried in a box down in the basement.

Steel Magnolias (1989) We Thought We Remembered... We Forgot the Pain

Do you remember Steel Magnolias from the 80s? The cry-inducing Broadway play turned into the ultimate cry-inducing chick flick. Join us as we head back to the late 80s and spend some time with this absolute all-star cast—Julia Roberts, Sally Field, Shirley MacLaine, Olympia Dukakis, and Daryl Hannah.Yes, there are men in this movie. No, they do not matter.This is about sitting down, pressing play, and watching these women absolutely unload emotionally as you sit there with a box of tissues, wondering why you signed up for this emotional endurance test.Unless you’re one of the hosts watching it for the first time…

Red Sonja (1985) Swords, Sorcery, and a Legendary Red Mullet

Do you remember Red Sonja from the 80s? Of course you do. Brigitte Nielsen running around in what can only be described as decorative chainmail—armor designed less for battle and more for… audience engagement. And Arnold Schwarzenegger shows up as Conan… except legally he’s absolutely, definitely not Conan. Just a totally different guy who looks, sounds, and acts exactly like Conan.
We remember loving this movie as kids, and shy wouldn’t we? Swords, explosions, questionable acting, and whatever was going on with that script. It was basically Conan 3… just without the budget, the name, or any real reason to exist.
At least that’s how we remember it.

The Day After Tomorrow (2004): Why Is The Weather So Angry?

Do you remember The Day After Tomorrow? That’s the one where Mother Nature decides she’s had enough of our BS and lays the Smackdown on the entire planet. Denis Quaid wins the Father of the Year award for hiking across the entire country, which has become a snow-laden tundra, to get to his son. Jake Gyllenhal has to outrun a bunch of cartoon wolves, and the survivors burn books to stay alive instead of wood from chairs and desks. Yeah, that one. We don’t remember this movie being Shakespeare or anything, but we do remember a whole lot of people biting the big one and a lot of destruction. So join us as we go back to 2004 and watch the Blockbuster Disaster Film of the Decade.

Spaceballs (1987): May The Schwartz Hold Up

Do you remember Spaceballs? Of course you do. But how many times did you quote this movie with your friends? How many times did you try to re-enact the beginning of the Schwartz fight before someone inevitably got hurt or in trouble?Join us as we go back and re-watch one of the most beloved cult comedies of the 80s. We’re talking Lone Starr, Princess Vespa, Colonel Sandurz, President Skroob, Barf, Yogurt, the Dink Dinks, and of course the legend himself… Dark Helmet.Our expectations are set to Ludicrous Speed, and we’re hoping this is still the hilarious childhood classic we remember… and not our father’s brother’s nephew’s cousin’s former roommate… a dud.May the Schwartz be with us.

The Goonies (1985) Pirate Treasure or Nostalgic Booby Trap?

Remember The Goonies? Baby Ruths, “Hey You Guys!”, pirate treasure, and one of the most chaotic groups of kids ever put on screen. Of course you do… but when was the last time you actually watched it? It’s one of the most beloved childhood classics of the 80s. Practically sacred ground for anyone who grew up in the 80s or 90s. But here’s the real question… is it actually still good? We’re heading back to 1985 with Mikey, Mouth, Chunk, Data, and the rest of the gang to see if this beloved childhood adventure still holds up, because this isn’t just any movie rewatch. This is The Goonies, a certified childhood classic for just about every 80s and 90s kid. So grab a Baby Ruth and head back with us to 1985 and find out if this legendary kids’ adventure is still a cinematic treasure… or if time has sprung the ultimate booby trap.
