Last Time I Watched

Microwaves in the early 2000s were for two things, and two things only: Chef Boyardee and SpaghettiOs. The signature processed meat smell, the red sauce splatter that you're still trying to scrub off, and the "ting" of your spoon against the bowl as you stirred. Those were the things that made us forget our troubles instantly. On this week's bonus episode, we revisited some of our favorite Italian foods in a can. 

It still haunts my dreams-the quick and unpredictable movements as I would walk to the canteen. It wasn't Mr. Sir, the relentless punishment of the summer sun while digging holes five feet wide by five feet deep, or even the warden herself. That yellow spotted lizard controlled us there at Camp Green Lake. There was a sobering fear in the other camper's eyes. Maybe scariest of all is that I was drawn to it. Maybe it was a kinship? Or the Yelnats curse? Either way, revisiting that summer on this week's episode of Last Time I Watched provided a catharsis that I can't explain.Sincerely, Stanley Yelnats.

It's Welsch. Harriet Welsch. 007 is her age, not her code name. She'll take her juice box shaken, not stirred. Her notebook is for her eyes only. If you take a peek, you will know only a quantum of solace for the rest of your days. Was this the rewatch that had us saying diamonds are forever or did we give it the goldfinger? 

Who would win in a fight: a brown bear or the Olsen twins playing identical strangers? What about a herd of buffalo or Steve Guttenberg's 90's dad vibes? A snow leopard or Kirstie Alley's social worker's heart of gold? We're putting our money on the memorable details from It Takes Two, every damn time.

What's more unnerving: the threat that looms in the shadows or the one that's hidden in plain sight? This 90's creature feature says both. Human-sized cockroaches were creepy in 1997, and they're creepy now. Our only salvation? Oscar winners Mira Sorvino and Guillermo Del Toro. 

Wearing heels in general feels unsafe. But ones made of glass?! Impossible! How does Brandy do it?! With Whitney Houston's help, of course. Season 2 opens with a soulful, sparkly conversation about the undisputed best version of Cinderella ever made. This is officially a Brandy fan club podcast now, and we like it that way.

Left! Left! Left! Right! Slay! That's the Hilary Duff way! Our butterfly clips are secure, and our bangles are stacked. We're giving a new meaning to serving our country. Fellow cadets, we're headed back to military school in style for the season one finale of Last Time I Watched!

Are you a slurper or a glurper? Do you roll or fold? Are you on the go or do you have time to sit down and enjoy a cold one? These age-old questions have haunted elementary school cafeterias for generations and left millions divided. The time has come: are you ready to pick a side?

When nature called, what did Ace Ventura do in response? Was it: A) Take a snooze on the forest floor after being hit by tranquilizing darts, B) Get into hand-to-claw combat with a crocodile, or C) Climb out of an animatronic rhino like a newborn baby? Trick question loo-hoo-zah-her, it's all of the above. Ace Ventura answered the call in classic pet detective style, will you?

A whole new world? A dazzling place we never knew? The magic carpet took us on a nostalgic ride full of wonder providing a new, fantastic point of view. Jasmine slays. Aladdin brings the heat. Jafar is serving looks. The Genie knows what's up and Abu.....is abu-ing. The Arabian Nights welcomed us back into the 90's in all the right ways. Check out this week's episode of LTIW so we can share this whole new world with you.

The aroma of freshly cut grass fills the air as the sun glistens against perfectly painted mailboxes and newly constructed swing sets. It's suburban paradise. But what's that? Claws scurry across the cement. Oh my! Did you see that? A brown flash. A puff of fur floats to the sidwalk. Something has infiltrated the neighborhood. Should we be scared? Should we stay inside? Fear not, it's only Hammy! The hyper yet friendly neighborhood squirrel. Will sacrificing your sweet and salty snacks keep him and his furry friends Over the Hedge? Find out on this week's episode of Last Time I Watched!

A creaky floorboard echos from down the hall. The lights in the next room flicker. A pitter patter of tiny feet echos the pitter patter in your heart. Is it a ghost? Is it a monster? Better! It's a mouse! The hunt for the illusive house mouse is on, but the hunt for the perfect 90's family comedy is over.

Whether it's a hangover from hell or a bratty six year old on the verge of a tantrum, a quick trip to the frozen food aisle is the answer to your troubles. The majestic mixtures of cheese, sauce, and dough have the power to unite us all and eliminate the word "hangry" from our vocabulary. We take snacking to a new level on this week's bonus episode!

Steampunk western with bad accents, kooky gadgets, and a banger theme song? Say less. Wait, actually say more. 1999 might have some explaining to do with this week's episode. Find out if we are booking our flights to the western front or hanging up our saddles for good.

This pick certainly pulled the wool over our eyes. Or should we say pulled the hood over our eyes? Putting aside the jarring visuals for a second, this movie has all the elements we look for in a rewatch. It had us actually lol'ing. Never thought we would say this, but we've been hoodwinked.

Freddie Highmore is a 2000s icon and this movie's got two of him! He slays playing twins (shout out Lindsay Lohan!) and also slays goblins. You heard us. Goblins! The Spiderwick Chronicles serves up the magical and mystical on a silver platter, and boy are we ready for it.

2005 is calling and honestly if it's not Amanda Bynes, then we're not picking up. Robots has a stacked cast and tip top animation, but seems to have a few rusty gears. We discuss the nuts and bolts on this week's LTIW.

The sun sets on the horizon. A chill breeze sweeps a rogue branch across the dusty terrain. The apocalypse has hit. You're alone and life as you know it is gone. You stumble upon a ransacked grocery store. The only items left are those of your childhood, a snack pack and a jell-o pudding. And you can only choose one. Which is it? What side of history are you on? What legacy do you leave behind?

Move over Steph Curry, there's an adorable new star on the court- and his skills are off the charts. He's agile. He's spunky. He's furr-ocious. And he's got the fastest paws in the league. Air Bud is coming for you one free throw at a time.

Betty Crocker revolutionized the baking world with one culinary innovation after another, but she truly broke the mold with Dunkaroos. Our lunchboxes thank her. We thank her. The world thanks her.

1994 called and it wants its swan back- but only if it's a princess by night! The Swan Princess is giving classic 90's Disney in all the best ways. We're talking animals, evil magic, AND true love's kiss. Find out if we swooned or swaned over Derek and Odette's maiden voyage!

We're drinking the Kool-Aid in this throwback episode! Berry Blue and Fruit Punch never looked or tasted as good as they do in these unnecessarily difficult to open bottles. Just us? Cool, cool.

If Darla Dimple has something to say about it, cats would never dance. If we have something to say about it, it's boogie time! Cats Don't Dance takes us on a ride through the hills and valleys of Hollywood (or should we say Hollywoodland?) that has us feeling nostalgic, reflective and dare I say...catty.

It's 2003 and it's lunchtime. You grab your lunch box, unsure of what's packed inside. Your nerves are building as everyone around the lunch table unloads their goodies. Sam has a cosmic brownie. Allison has an uncrustable. Jason has gushers AND a juice box! How will you measure up?! As if in slow motion, you unzip your lunchbox. Thump, thump, thump, thump. Your heartbeat echoes through your body. You take a deep breath and slowly reveal.....a LUNCHABLE! Success! Jason offers his gushers in exchange but you're no fool. You've won this round of the lunchtime Olympics. A lunchable was every kid's peak lunch, but did we reach the same height as adults? Take a listen to this week's bonus episode!

Do we love airheads? Hell yes. Are we airheads? To be determined. Eating this candy took us back …and I mean all the way back. Take a ride with us on this week’s bonus episode of Last Time I Ate: Airheads.

Cute robots? Say less. This movie walked so WALL-E could run. We've got a lot to unpack in this week’s episode. There’s capitalism, family trauma, community, and adorable aliens from the sky! This 1987 film has got it all….well except batteries.

Who's that? Look at their wavy, luscious locks! And that strut! Not a scratch on those hoofs! It's the stallion we've all been waiting for......Spirit! Saddle up for vast landscapes, sassy horse play, and a whole lot of heart. Come along for the ride, you won't regret it.

Holiday travel gives us anxiety but this rewatch sure doesn't! Unaccompanied Minors provides us with holiday spirit, emotional healing, and airport antics. What more can you ask for in holiday movie? We say nothing! Pack your bags and get your boarding passes ready for Last Time I Watched: Unaccompanied Minors.

Welcome to the first ever “Last Time I Ate”. Every once andawhile we will be doing special “bite-sized” bonus episodes where a guest will tell us about a food or snack they ate as a child but haven’t had since. In this episode, Rosie and Mac introduce us to the babysitter’s special. A mash up of potato, broccoli,cheddar, and hot dog has them reminiscing on the good old days and has us wondering what else we can put on top of a baked potato.Watch their reaction on our Instagram, @lasttimeiwatchedpod.

Today's episode takes us on a quest for old crushes and Celine Dion power ballads. A combination we didn't know we needed. Oh, what's that? King Arthur is calling? Must be our invite to the round table. Just sit back, relax, and enjoy episode 3. We're off to save the kingdom.
