Old Millennials Remember Movies
by Angela Yoshiko
Two (old) Millennials re-watch and discuss movies from the era of their childhood (80s, 90s, & early 2000s). Hold on to your butts for thoughtful and amusing conversation about the movies you loved, the movies you forgot, and the movies that should have stayed in the box.
Episodes
-
Legally Blonde – 2001 – ep 135
Don’t hate her because she’s beautiful. Hate her because she’s the smartest person in the room. While the marketing for “Legally Blonde” suggested a movie about a ‘dumb blonde squaring off against academia,’ it’s clear from the onset that Reese Witherspoon’s Elle Woods is more than equipped to...

Best Movies of 2023 – ep 134
In this special episode of Old Millennials Remember Movies, we remember and share our favorite movies from 2023. Despite his intense schedule of law school, continuing to write part-time, and still helping to raise our four kids, Tyler still found time to watch more than 125 movies that came out…

Hercules – 1997 – ep 133
"Hercules! Hercules Hercules!" - some Eddie Murphy character not in Disney's "Hercules." The first half of the 1990s was a pinnacle for Disney Animation. After the run of "The Little Mermaid" (technically 1989), "Beauty and the Beast," "Aladdin" and "The Lion King" (plus Pixar's debut "Toy Story"...
-
The Mummy – 1999 – ep 132
All this movie really needed to be great was Brendan Frasier defeating a bunch of swordfighting ghouls before turning to the camera and grin-shrugging, "Mummies!"
-
Apollo 13 – 1995 – ep 131
Lt. Dan can't go to space because he *might* get the measles, then Bill Paxton gets all sick up there. Maybe Tom Hanks is poisoning them, or they all have space dementia like Steve Buscemi.
-
Batman Forever – 1995 – ep 130
"Baby, I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the grey." The swooning words to Seal's mega-hit song from the "Batman Forever" soundtrack most likely refers to the relationship between Batman/Bruce Wayne and Dr. Chase Meridian, and definitely NOT the working relationship between actors Tommy Lee...
-
Peggy Sue Got Married – 1986 – ep 129
What if you could travel back in time to undo all the stupid decisions you made as a teenager? Sounds like a fantasy of many Old Millennials out there, or really anyone who went to high school beyond yesterday. That's (sort of) the premise of "Peggy Sue Got Married," which sees the titular...
-
Lake Placid – 1999 – ep 128
You might be surprised to learn that the little-seen creature-feature "Lake Placid" contains more sparring between Brendan Gleeson and Oliver Platt than it does giant crocodile mayhem. And it's all the better for it! David E. Kelley, notable creator and writer of courtroom dramas like "The...
-
Spider-Man – 2002 – ep 127
"You're out, Gobby. Out of your mind!" While "X-Men" became a superhit in the 2000 (in the YEAR 2000!), the real onslaught of superhero movies began in 2002 with Sam Raimi's "Spider-Man," a sometimes-silly-but-undeniably entertaining origin story about everyone's favorite wall crawler. Yes, that...
-
Battle of 90s Sequels – March Madness + SXSW – ep 126
In a battle of prominent sequels of the 1990s, only the best make it to the Final Four... unless one of the Old Millennials Hosts screws up the seeding... then anything can happen! That's right, "Lethal Weapon 4" has a shot at glory! In our third installment of a (late) March tradition, Old...
-
Hook – 1991 – ep 125
"Lookie, Lookie, I got traumatic memories of Captain Hook stabbing a child to death." Years before Legacy Sequels were cool, Steven Spielberg decided to ask the question, "What if Peter Pan grew up and forgot all about Neverland?" Turns out he'd be a corporate lawyer and his kids hate him! "Hook"...
-
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Trilogy – 1990-1993 – ep 124
Are you a "T-U-R-T-L-E Power" lad or a "Ninja Rap" kid? How you answer may determine what kind of fan you are of the 1990 live-action version of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" and its two direct sequels from 1991 and 1993. If you said "Ninja Rap," then chances are your feelings about early 90s...
-
Best Movies of the Second Pandemic Year – 2021 – ep 123
In this special episode of Old Millennials Remember Movies, hosts Tyler and Angela remember a few more recent titles - specifically their favorite movies of the last calendar year. Despite his general commitment to staying reclusive, Tyler saw quite a few more titles this year compared to others....
-
Forces of Nature – 1999 – ep 122
It's a little late, but it's Sandy New Year! For the fourth year, Old Millennials Remember Movies celebrates January with a Sandra Bullock movie. To celebrate 2022, we watched one of the worst Sandy Bullock movies around - 1999's atrocious "romantic comedy," "Forces of Nature." Because the start…
more -
The Wizard of Oz – 1939 – ep 121
We're breaking all of the Old Millennials Remember Movies unwritten rules by talking about an 80-year-old classic to close out 2021....err, we mean jumpstart 2022! So, obviously, "The Wizard of Oz" is not an 80s movie, or a 90s movie, or, gasp, an early 2000s movie, but it's one of those legacy...
-
Miracle on 34th Street – 1994 & 1947 – ep 120
You better watch out, you better not cry, because Santa Claus is going to the loony bin! In "Miracle on 34th Street," a single mother is a real Scrooge McDuck about the magic of Christmas, specifically about telling her young daughter that Santa Claus is a lie. Enter a convincing (but violent...
-
The Muppet Christmas Carol – 1992 – ep 119
Oh, there goes Mr. Humbug! There goes Mr. Grim! While there are about a thousand different flavors of "A Christmas Carol" by Charles Dickens, only one of them has a big-nosed weirdo narrating the story. Yes, "The Muppet Christmas Carol" is the best "Christmas Carol" because of Gonzo the Great....
-
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire – 2005 – ep 118
Harry, Hermoine and Ron are growing up, and it's super awkward for everyone involved! The fourth journey to Hogwarts, "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire," marks a turning point for the series. As the kids start popping pimples, emotions run high and bodies start to pile up. It's the first…
more -
Mrs. Doubtfire – 1993 – ep 117
It's the hilarious, smash hit family comedy... about a bitter divorce! The late, great Robin Williams was at the top of his game in 1993, and "Mrs. Doubtfire" let the comic actor run amok even when not dressing up like an old lady. Seriously, his character here, Daniel Hillard, is pretty…
more -
Labyrinth – 1986 – ep 116
You remind me of the babe! The babe with the power! The power of voodoo! Few David Bowie fans would cite his songs in the 1986 fantasy epic "Labyrinth" as the best music of his career. But who cares?! Bowie is awesome, and yeah, these songs aren't great, but come on! It's Bowie in a weird AF…
more -
Halloween III: Season of the Witch – 1982 – ep 115
Wait, how many days until Halloween? Oh, good, there's a super-easy-to-remember-and-not-at-all-annoying jingle to keep the dates in mind. Once the disregarded afterthought of the "Halloween" franchise, "Halloween III: Season of the Witch" has become the cult curiosity it always deserved to be. No...
-
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...
-
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…
more -
Norm Macdonald and Dirty Work – 1998 – ep 112
Norm Macdonald was a favorite of the Old Millennials Remember Movies team. Hosts Tyler and Angela react to the shocking death of the legendary comedian by taking a special "Norm journey" through memories and favorite moments from his career. After all, they both watched a whole lot of Norm on The...
-
Back to the Timecop Future – 1985-1994 – ep 111
Great Scott! It's a special time travel episode of Old Millennials Remember Movies, with a special focus on the outrageous Jean-Claude Van Damme extravaganza, "Timecop" from 1994! Give your legs a stretch, because you might need to do the splits a few times during this episode. First up, Old...
-
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...
-
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…
more -
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...
-
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…
more -
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...
-
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...
-
Mortal Kombat – 1995 – ep 104
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…
more -
Jurassic Park III – ep103 – 2001
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...
-
Jumanji – ep 102 – 1995
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 an...
-
March Madness Disney Sidekick Edition – ep 101 – plus SXSW
Cage Match time. Abu the Monkey vs. Baloo the Bear. Slinky Dog vs. Bullseye. Flounder vs. Meeko. Timon vs. Pumba?! Such nerve-wrenching match-ups could happen in the 2021 edition of Old Millennials Remember Movies March Madness. Tyler and Angela work together to choose the BEST Disney Animation...
-
Matrix Trilogy – ep 100 – 1999-2003
Mr. Anderson! It's the 100th episode of Old Millennials Remember Movies! For that special occasion, we're talking THREE movies... the groundbreaking science-fiction blockbuster, "The Matrix" from 1999 and its divisive sequels, "The Matrix Reloaded" and "The Matrix Revolutions" from 2003. Old...
-
Chasing Amy – ep 99 – 1997
Well would you look at this morose *expletive deleted* right here. Smells like someone *expletive deleted* in your cereal. It's important to remember just how well-received "Chasing Amy" was back in 1997. Writer/director Kevin Smith followed his breakthrough debut "Clerks" with the then-ignored...
-
Groundhog Day – ep 98 – 1993
Well it's Groundhog Day... again. The Old Millennials tackle a genuine classic. The quintessential time loop movie features a never better Bill Murray as arrogant jerkstore weatherman Phil Connors, a man forced to relive the same day in Punxsutawney, Penn. He also becomes smitten with co-worker...
-
Best Movies of the Pandemic Year – ep97 – 2020
Hey quarantiners! It's been about a year (ish) since the Old Millennials stopped going to movie theaters, and it lines up with our annual tradition of recapping our favorite movies of the past year. Tyler managed to see about as many new movies as he usually does, but Angela couldn't keep pace...
-
MIss Congeniality – ep96 – 2000
It's Sandy New Year! We continue a January tradition of viewing an Old Millennials-era Sandra Bullock movie. For 2021, we're putting on our best pageant gowns for "Miss Congeniality," the comedy where a dorky FBI agent must go undercover at a Miss America-style beauty pageant in order to stop a...
-
Trading Places – ep95 – 1983
Nature vs. nurture. Eddie Murphy vs. the establishment. Jamie Lee Curtis vs. shirts. "Trading Places," from John Landis, is one of the defining Murphy comedies of the 80s. Plus Dan Aykroyd is there doing a "rich" accent! You know the story: Two evil rich guys (Ralph Bellamy and Don Ameche)...
-
A Christmas Story – ep94 – 1983
Fa la la la la, la la la casual racism. Aside from the slight blemish at the end of the film, "A Christmas Story" remains a certifiable holiday classic, thanks in no small part to the film's annual Christmas Day marathon on TBS. The story of Ralphie and his quest to obtain a Red Ryder BB Gun for...
-
Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer – ep93 – 1964
We break all the rules with this holiday episode of Old Millennials Remember Movies. The beloved television special "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" isn't a movie, and it didn't come out in the 80s or 90s. Nevertheless, the Rankin/Bass stop-motion animated special was a formative experience for...
-
Planes, Trains and Automobiles – ep 92 – 1987
Here's an idea: Have a point! It makes it so much more interesting for the listener. Those famous, cruel words in "Planes, Trains and Automobiles" aren't always taken to heart on a typical episode of Old Millennials Remember Movies, but for the sake of this John Hughes comedy classic, we'll give…
more -
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban – ep 91 – 2004
Expecto patronum! Expelliarmus! Exfoliate-ess! Journey back to Hogwarts and the early stages of puberty with "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban," the third installment in the J.K. Rowling-inspired movie franchise. It's time to get SERIOUS in Harry Land thanks to director Alfonso Cuaron…

The Nightmare Before Christmas – ep 90 – 1993 plus Poltergeist -1982
This is Halloween... or this is Christmas... or when are we supposed to watch "The Nightmare Before Christmas" every year? The short answer, of course, is anytime, as the Henry Selick-directed stop-motion animated musical has become a certifiable classic. People love this movie, especially people...
-
Sleepy Hollow – ep 89 – 1999
So many heads roll in "Sleepy Hollow," Tim Burton's gory, uber-Gothic blockbuster based on the classic Washington Irving story. This movie goes big with cartoonish spurts of blood, spinal stumps, a bombastic Danny Elfman score and an undead ax murderer in search of Christopher Walken's head.…

The Addams Family 1991 and Addams Family Values 1993 – ep 88
"They do what they wanna do, say what they wanna say, live how they wanna live, play what they wanna play, dance how they wanna dance, kick and they slap a friend, The Addams Family!" Yes, MC Hammer provides the soundtrack to the live-action, big screen update of "The Addams Family." If anything,...
-
Never Been Kissed – ep 87 – 1999
Yikes. There's no way to justify all that's wrong with the Josie Grossie - Alias Afterthought student-teacher relationship in this Drew Barrymore "romance."
-
Ferris Bueller’s Day Off – ep 86 – 1986
Life moves pretty fast. Just not the middle section of "Ferris Bueller's Day Off." Okay, so that was a bit of a cheap shot. By many accounts, this John Hughes classic deserves its place as one of the most enduring comedies of the 1980s, despite a few questionable narrative pit stops in the…
