What Classic Movie Deserves a Theater Re-Release? Batman, Transformers 1986 & More | Movies at Grandma's House Bonus Episode
Hey! I'd love to hear your thoughts, send me a voice note.Isaac is back with a bonus audio episode while Movies at Grandma's House gears up for Season 6 — dropping next week! Make sure you're subscribed so you don't miss when it drops.But first — a question that every movie lover has an answer to:"What classic movie would you most want to see re-released in theaters?"With theatrical re-releases making a massive comeback, Isaac digs into some of the biggest ones happening right now and on the horizon:🦇 Tim Burton's original Batman — back on the big screen this month 🦇 Batman: Mask of the Phantasm — a fan favorite finally getting its moment 🤖 Transformers: The Movie (1986) — the animated classic returning to theaters 🐢 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles — already had its re-release run 🏰 Disney classics — the re-release train keeps rollingFor Isaac, the answer is easy: The Rescuers Down Under (1990). The opening sequence — Cody soaring through the sky on the back of a giant golden eagle — is something he's always wanted to experience on the big screen. That sense of childhood wonder, of feeling like you were flying, is exactly the kind of memory that deserves the full theatrical treatment.He also reflects on seeing The Lion King (1994) re-released in 2009 for its 15th anniversary — and going as a full-grown adult without hesitation. The stampede scene on the big screen hit just as hard decades later. That's the power of these movies.Isaac also touches on the cost of moviegoing today and how local theaters with budget-friendly tickets are the perfect place to catch these classic re-releases without breaking the bank.What's your pick?

Hey! I'd love to hear your thoughts, send me a voice note.t's one of Disney's most charming and beloved kids movies — Robin Hood (1973)! On this family movie review, Isaac and Seth are joined by guest Ajax (Aaron, co-host of Cover Wars Podcast) to bring real film analysis and honest movie reviews to this nostalgic, wholesome film — one of the true classic youth movies and children's films among Disney's animated classics — to ask: does this swashbuckling adventure still hit the bullseye, or has it missed the mark after all these years?They dig into the film's unique all-animal cast, the surprisingly reused animation from The Jungle Book and The Aristocats, and a soundtrack — including the iconic "Oo-De-Lally" and the hauntingly beautiful "Not in Nottingham" — that both hosts agree is the film's strongest asset. Plus a little classic movie analysis on why this overlooked entry gets left out of the conversation compared to Disney's more famous animated eras.Fun facts you'll want to share: this was the first VHS ever released in the Walt Disney Classics line. Despite its British setting, only about half a dozen of the voice cast were actually English. And it was the first Walt Disney Animation Studios film not personally greenlit by Walt Disney himself.Plus a true-or-false trivia question about Disney's very first Robin Hood movie, a look at real online reviews (ranging from "Disney's most underrated film" to a blunt two-out-of-ten), the Kid Test across all four of Isaac's kids, and a rare three-way split decision on the final rating — driven largely by how much nostalgia each host brings to the table.Granny's official family friendly rating: B for animated violence, adult themes, and crude humor.This episode also features guest Ajax (Aaron), co-host of Cover Wars Podcast — find them on YouTube and TikTok for weekly deep-dives crowning the best cover songs around.⏱️ TIMESTAMPS 0:00 – Intro: A Nostalgic Family Movie Review Begins 1:21 – Meet the Hosts & Special Guest Ajax 2:28 – Movie Reveal: Robin Hood (1973) 3:04 – Big Poppin' Shoutout & Film Facts 4:31 – Granny's Family-Friendly Rating 7:47 – First Memories & Nostalgia 12:41 – Plot Rewind: Full Film Analysis Begins 14:41 – Kids Movies Character Breakdown 23:10 – Sir Hiss: The Fan-Favorite Villain 33:27 – Favorite Quotes & Scenes 36:05 – Fun Facts Behind This Family Movie 38:09 – Trivia: Was This Disney's Second Robin Hood? 40:11 – What Other Movie Reviews Are Saying 44:41 – The Kid Test & Our Official Ratings 50:56 – Guest Shoutout: Cover Wars Podcast 52:49 – Outro & Where to Find UsWe've also partnered with Big Poppin' LLC for our own custom flavor — "Grandma's Punch-Aid"!

The Secret Life of Pets (2016) Family Movie Review | Ep. 111
Hey! I'd love to hear your thoughts, send me a voice note.Ever wonder what your pets really do the moment you leave the house? On this family movie review, Isaac and Seth bring real film analysis and honest movie reviews to Illumination's The Secret Life of Pets (2016) — revisiting this nostalgic, wholesome film to ask: does it still fetch laughs a decade later, or has it rolled over and played dead?They break down Max and Duke's rocky road to friendship after getting lost in the city, Snowball's scene-stealing revenge plot voiced by Kevin Hart, and the surprisingly dark humor sprinkled throughout — plus a little classic movie analysis of why this original story (not a sequel, not based on a book) became the first film in history to open over $100 million without either.Fun facts you'll want to share: Gru from Despicable Me makes a blink-and-you'll-miss-it cameo walking his dog early in the film. Will Smith and Chris Rock were both considered for the role of Snowball before Kevin Hart made it his own. Plus the Kid Test across all four of Isaac's kids, and the official rating — a rare unanimous decision this time. Does it go home, get watched at Grandma's, or get hidden in the attic?⏱️ TIMESTAMPS 0:00 – Intro: A Nostalgic Family Movie Review Begins 2:07 – Film Facts & Movie Reviews Roundup 3:27 – Granny's Family-Friendly Rating 5:35 – First Memories & 10 Years of Nostalgia 7:59 – Plot Rewind: Full Film Analysis Begins 10:45 – Kids Movies Character Breakdown 18:36 – Favorite Quotes & Scenes 22:58 – Fun Facts Behind This Family Movie 25:12 – Trivia: Does This Nostalgic Film Hold Any Secrets? 28:08 – What Other Movie Reviews Are Saying 30:20 – The Kid Test 32:38 – Our Official Family Movie Review Rating 35:33 – Outro & Where to Find UsWe've also partnered with Big Poppin' LLC for our own custom flavor — "Grandma's Punch-Aid"!

Searching for Bobby Fischer (1993) Family Movie Review | Ep. 110
Hey! I'd love to hear your thoughts, send me a voice note.Searching for Bobby Fischer (1993) is a family movie and wholesome film that proves you don't need a huge budget to make an unforgettable children's film. On this family movie review, Isaac and Seth bring classic movie analysis and honest movie reviews to this nostalgic true story — a classic youth movie about ambition, pressure, and what really matters, still relevant among children movies and family friendly films 30 years later.Josh's journey between two very different chess mentors — the disciplined Bruce (Ben Kingsley) and the aggressive Vinnie (Laurence Fishburne) — sits at the heart of the film, alongside the pressure from his father, Fred (Joe Mantegna), who slowly learns the tournament was never really about him. The cast is stacked: five Oscar nominees on just a $12 million budget, including William H. Macy, Joan Allen, Laura Linney, and Tony Shalhoub.Fun fact: Laurence Fishburne's role was originally offered to Ice-T, and the film once held a perfect 100% on Rotten Tomatoes.Plus a trivia question about the real chess rating of the actor who played Josh, the Kid Test, and our final rating — home, Grandma's, or the attic?⏱️ TIMESTAMPS 0:00 – Intro: A Nostalgic Family Movie Review Begins 2:13 – Film Facts & Movie Reviews Roundup 4:00 – Granny's Family-Friendly Rating 6:32 – First Memories & 90s Nostalgia 9:15 – Plot Rewind: Full Film Analysis Begins 13:15 – Kids Movies Character Breakdown 21:13 – Standout Performances & Cast Talk 25:13 – Favorite Quotes & Scenes 30:37 – Fun Facts Behind This Family Movie 36:32 – Trivia: Does This Nostalgic Film Hold Any Secrets? 39:17 – What Other Movie Reviews Are Saying 43:42 – The Kid Test 46:14 – Our Official Family Movie Review Rating 48:36 – Outro & Where to Find UsWe've also partnered with Big Poppin' LLC for our own custom flavor — "Grandma's Punch-Aid"!

Babe (1995) Family Movie Review | Ep. 109
Hey! I'd love to hear your thoughts, send me a voice note.Babe (1995) is a family movie that proves a talking pig can carry an entire film. In this family movie review on Movies at Grandma's House, we revisit this nostalgic gem with real film analysis and honest movie reviews — breaking down its surprisingly mature themes, the stunning animatronic work, and whether this wholesome children's film still holds up 30 years later for kids movies fans and new parents alike.They break down Babe's journey from runt piglet to champion sheep-herder, the surprisingly realistic (and sometimes intense) farm life themes, and the incredible practical effects from Jim Henson's Creature Shop that still hold up better than most modern CGI. Plus the film's stacked cast — James Cromwell, Christine Cavanaugh, Magda Szubanski, and Hugo Weaving — and Granny's official family-friendly rating: B for a few intense scenes.Fun facts you'll want to share: 48 different pigs were used to play Babe, since the breed grows too fast for one to last the whole shoot. Director George Miller waited a full 10 years to make this film, holding out until special effects technology could catch up to his vision. And James Cromwell starred in another film simply called The Babe (about Babe Ruth) just three years before playing Farmer Hoggett here.Plus the trivia question about Babe's spot on the American Film Institute's list of the funniest American movies, the Kid Test with Isaac's own kids (fair warning — the intense scenes didn't go unnoticed), and the official rating: does it go home, get watched at Grandma's, or get hidden in the attic?⏱️ TIMESTAMPS0:00 – Intro: A Nostalgic Family Movie Review Begins2:01 – Babe (1995) Film Facts & Movie Reviews Roundup3:12 – Granny's Family-Friendly Rating5:16 – First Memories & 90s Nostalgia7:34 – Plot Rewind: Full Film Analysis Begins13:47 – Kids Movies Character Breakdown 17:25 – Favorite Quotes & Scenes20:41 – Fun Facts Behind This Family Movie24:17 – Trivia: Does This Nostalgic Film Hold Any Secrets?25:40 – What Other Movie Reviews Are Saying28:30 – The Kid Test30:46 – Our Official Family Movie Review Rating35:07 – Outro & Where to Find UsFind us on YouTube, Instagram, Threads, Facebook, and TikTok for more family movie reviews.We've also partnered with Big Poppin LLC for our own custom flavor — "Grandma's Punch-Aid"!

Inside Out (2015) | Family Friendly Kids Movie Review | Ep. 108
Hey! I'd love to hear your thoughts, send me a voice note.Today we head inside the mind on this nostalgic family movie review, bringing real film analysis to one of the most beloved kids movies of the last decade — Pixar's Inside Out (2015). Does this emotional journey through Riley's move from Minnesota to San Francisco still fill all the feels, or has it lost its spark 10 years later?Isaac and Seth break down the staggering numbers behind one of Pixar's best original movies: a rare 98% Rotten Tomatoes score, an 8.1 on IMDb, and $859.1 million at the box office on a $175 million budget. Plus the gut-punch Bing Bong sacrifice scene that still gets them both, and a genuinely rare split decision on the official rating — Isaac calls it one of Pixar's most personal, beautiful films, while Seth just can't get past how visually overwhelming it feels on rewatch.Also in this episode: personal memories from opening weekend over a decade ago, the Kid Test with Isaac's own kids, and Granny's official family-friendly rating (B+ for adult themes and frightening imagery).⏱️ TIMESTAMPS 0:00 – Intro: A Nostalgic Family Movie Review Begins 1:50 – Film Facts & Movie Reviews Roundup 3:01 – Granny's Family-Friendly Rating 4:19 – Pixar's Original Movies & Box Office Breakdown 7:39 – Plot Rewind: Full Film Analysis Begins 13:19 – Kids Movies Voice Cast Breakdown 19:55 – Meet Bing Bong 22:38 – The Scene That Breaks Every Family Movie Review 24:38 – Favorite Quotes & Scenes 29:01 – Fun Facts & Pixar Easter Eggs 31:39 – Trivia: Does This Nostalgic Film Hold Any Secrets? 33:13 – What Other Movie Reviews Are Saying 34:41 – The Kid Test 36:06 – Our Official Family Movie Review Rating 41:07 – Outro & Where to Find UsIf you love our film reviews of classic and modern movies alike, find us on YouTube, Instagram, Threads, Facebook, and TikTok.

20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (1954) Family Movie Review | Ep. 107
Hey! I'd love to hear your thoughts, send me a voice note.On this podcast covering the best kids movies and family-friendly films, Isaac and Seth bring real film analysis and honest movie reviews to 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (1954) — a true classic among children's films. Does this underwater epic still hold up 70 years later, or has it sunk after all this time?They break down Captain Nemo's hatred of mankind aboard the advanced submarine Nautilus, Kirk Douglas' scene-stealing charm as harpoonist Ned Land, and the legendary giant squid battle — still one of the most ambitious practical effects sequences Disney ever attempted. Plus the two Oscars this film won (Best Art Direction, Best Special Effects), making it the first fully live-action Disney film to take home an Academy Award outside of documentaries and shorts.Fun facts you'll want to share: Gregory Peck actually auditioned for the role of Captain Nemo. The underwater footage was shot in the same Bahamas location used for the 1916 silent version. And Kirk Douglas' $175,000 salary was the highest Disney had paid any actor up to that point.Plus the Kid Test — mixed reactions across Isaac's four kids, with one surprise favorite — and the official rating: does it go home, get watched at Grandma's, or get hidden in the attic?Find us on YouTube, Instagram, Threads, Facebook, and TikTok.

RocketMan (1997) Family Movie Review | Ep. 106
Hey! I'd love to hear your thoughts, send me a voice note.Buckle up, because things are about to get weird. On this podcast covering the best kids movies and family-friendly films, Isaac and Seth bring real film analysis and honest movie reviews to the 1997 Disney live action comedy Rocketman — starring Harlan Williams as Fred Randall, a bumbling computer programmer who somehow ends up on a mission to Mars — to find out if this children's film still has the right stuff nearly 30 years later.Seth has watched this one more times than he can count and calls it the funniest kids movie ever made. Isaac came in fresh — and his four kids went from refusing to watch it to belly laughing at fart jokes and slapstick within the first twenty minutes.They break down Harlan Williams' unhinged performance, the surprisingly clever writing underneath all the silliness, the iconic fart scene that had NASA detecting methane levels, and why Bud the chimp laughing before anyone else is actually the funniest moment in the whole film. Plus the Commander Overbeck dynamic that turns this into a love-it-or-hate-it comedy in the mold of early Jim Carrey and Will Farrell.Fun facts that will blow your mind: Adam Sandler was originally considered to play Fred Randall. The working title was Space Cadet — changed specifically because they wanted to use the Elton John song. The three lead astronauts went to space camp in Alabama to prepare. And the production crew spent weeks at a NASA facility in Texas just to get the feel right — for a fart comedy.If you loved this nostalgic movie growing up, this episode will take you right back. If you've never seen it — prepare yourself.Find us on YouTube, Instagram, Threads, Facebook, and TikTok for more family friendly movie reviews.

The Greatest Game Ever Played (2005) Family Movie Review | Ep. 105
Hey! I'd love to hear your thoughts, send me a voice note.On this podcast covering the best kids movies and family-friendly films, Isaac and Seth bring real film analysis and honest movie reviews to The Greatest Game Ever Played — the 2005 Disney true story that most people have completely forgotten about — to find out if this children's film still holds up 20 years later.Seth saw it in theaters (during a power outage, no less) and has rewatched it many times since. Isaac came in fresh, having never seen it before — and was blown away.They dig into Bill Paxton's masterful direction and the revolutionary ball cam shot he invented specifically for this film, Shia LaBeouf's quietly powerful performance as Francis Ouimet, and the scene-stealing Eddie the caddy who provides some of the best comic relief in any Disney sports film. Plus they break down Harry Vardon's subtle psychological warfare on the course, Ted Ray's perfectly dry one-liners, and the father-son relationship that provides the emotional backbone of the entire story.Fun facts that will surprise you: the real Francis and Eddie remained lifelong friends — Eddie was a pallbearer at Francis' funeral. And in reality, Francis didn't win by one dramatic stroke — he finished five strokes ahead of Vardon and six ahead of Ray. Hollywood compressed it for drama, and honestly? It works.This one is criminally underrated and deserves way more attention than it gets.Find us on YouTube, Instagram, Threads, Facebook, and TikTok for more family movie reviews.

The Great Mouse Detective (1986) Family Movie Review | Ep. 104
Hey! I'd love to hear your thoughts, send me a voice note.The game is afoot! On this family movie review, Isaac and Seth bring real film analysis and honest movie reviews to The Great Mouse Detective — heading to the streets of Victorian London for a nostalgic dive into the 1986 Disney classic that turns 40 this year and, according to many film historians, literally saved Disney Animation from financial collapse. This children's film holds up as one of the more surprisingly dark entries in the Disney kids movies canon.This one is personal for Isaac, who grew up watching it and credits it with sparking a lifelong love of Sherlock Holmes. Seth? He'd never seen it before this episode — and his first-time reactions do not disappoint.They dig into the surprisingly dark and adult plot, the unmatched voice acting led by Vincent Price as the menacing Ratigan (a role Price called one of his favorites of his entire career), and the legendary clock tower finale — one of Disney's very first uses of CGI animation. Plus, Henry Mancini's score. Yes, the same Henry Mancini who wrote the Pink Panther theme.Fun facts that will blow your mind: John Cleese was originally cast as Basil. Norway banned the film for children under 12. Production was completed in just one year thanks to early CGI. And Toby the Dog's bark is the exact same sound recording used for Trusty in Lady and the Tramp.Plus Seth's trivia question, the Kid Test with Isaac's four kids, and a split rating — Seth hides it in the attic, Isaac takes it home, and both make a completely reasonable case.Find us on YouTube, Instagram, Threads, Facebook, and TikTok.

The Iron Giant (1999) Family Movie Review | Family-Friendly Film Analysis Deep Dive | Ep. 103
Hey! I'd love to hear your thoughts, send me a voice note.Revisit 1999's animated gem The Iron Giant on this nostalgic family movie review, bringing real film analysis to one of the most beloved kids movies and children's films of its era. When Brad Bird's directorial debut hit theaters, critics loved it (96% RT) but audiences stayed away. Isaac and Seth welcome guest John Barker from All The Right Movies to explore Rockwell's unforgettable tale of friendship and sacrifice. Does this beloved classic still pack an emotional punch — or has it rusted with time? Discover why this box office bomb became a cultural treasure.They dig into Brad Bird's incredible backstory (fired from Disney, left The Simpsons, then handed his directorial debut), the film's box office failure despite a 96% Rotten Tomatoes score, and why it's now considered one of the best animated films of all time. They break down Vin Diesel's nearly wordless performance as the Giant, the Superman comic book theme that anchors the entire story, and the surprisingly dark, mature themes hiding inside a "kids' movie."Plus — five jaw-dropping fun facts (Sean Connery and James Earl Jones were both considered to voice the Giant), a tough trivia question about the Giant's actual word count, the Kid Test with Isaac's four kids, and the final rating.This episode also features John's insight as a film historian and co-host of All The Right Movies, including his take on the film's connection to E.T., its influence on The Incredibles and Ratatouille, and why "you are who you choose to be" remains one of animation's most powerful themes.Check out John's podcast All The Right Movies, and his upcoming book "All the Right Movies: The Stories and Secrets Behind the Making of 25 Iconic Films," out this September.Find us on YouTube, Instagram, Threads, Facebook, and TikTok.

In this bonus audio episode of Movies at Grandma's House, he breaks down his honest thoughts on Pixar's newest entry in the beloved franchise, now spanning three decades from 1995 to 2026.Here's what you need to know before you go:🤠 Jessie is the main character — not Woody. Director Andrew Stanton (a Pixar veteran) frames Toy Story 5 as the beginning of Bonnie's trilogy, with 4, 5, and a potential 6 serving as a companion arc to Andy's original three films.🚀 Buzz Lightyear is back — and Isaac feels like Toy Story 5 corrects one of the biggest criticisms of Toy Story 4: the dumbing down of Buzz's character. He's more like his old self here.😂 Conan O'Brien voices the scene-stealer — a new character called SmartyPants, a high-tech potty training toy who gets some of the biggest laughs in the film.🎬 The returning cast is stacked — Tom Hanks, Tim Allen, Joan Cusack, Keanu Reeves as Duke Kaboom, and Wallace Shawn as Rex are all back. Voice actors who have passed away are handled respectfully with reduced screen time.📱 Technology and tablets are a central theme — the film feels modern and timely, exploring what it means to be a toy in today's world, with a new villain called Lillipad leading the charge.With $312 million worldwide in its opening weekend alone, this is shaping up to be one of Pixar's biggest hits. Isaac shares why he thinks this film is aimed as much at the adults who grew up with the series as it is at kids — and why he thinks Toy Story isn't going anywhere anytime soon.📬 Not on our newsletter yet?
