Old Millennials Remember Movies

Would "Clueless" be as good without the star-making performance of Alicia Silverstone? As if! Amy Heckerling's teen comedy classic covers all the hard-hitting problems facing rich teenagers in the mid-90s: Big hats, suck-and-blow, adult-size overalls and freeway driving. It's a real Baldwin of a script, obviously, but Silverstone delivers one of the great comedic performances of the decade. No joke. "Clueless" also takes on big issues like immigration (there's no RSVP on the Statue of Liberty), MeToo (pre-hashtag) and whether the dreamy Paul Rudd is an Immortal. The man doesn't age! Bonus! Fallon Anderson is Rollin' with the Homies as a special guest on the podcast. She really loves the hats. Also discussed on this episode: Four Weddings and a Funeral (TV series, 2019) Men in Black: International (2019) The Spy Who Dumped Me (2018) Identity (2003) Octopussy (1983) A View to a Kill (1985)

It's not Steel Magnolias. You may remember liking Kathy Bates in Fried Green Tomatoes, especially the scene where she teaches some bimbos proper parking etiquette. That's only a small part of this 1991 tearjerker, with most of the good stuff coming from the story of two, ahem, friends played by Mary Stuart Masterson and Mary-Louise Parker. They make good food together, and there's a food fight scene as a symbol of a romantic relationship the filmmakers didn't want to depict honestly... because 1991. Anyway, the Old Millennials talk memories of seeing this movie as kids, the thematic elements that shaped one host's core beliefs, and the general mediocrity of the scenes between Kathy Bates and Jessica Tandy. We also talk Chris O'Donnell and how this movie loves to milk train-related tragedies. Towanda Forever! Also discussed in this episode: The Peanut Butter Falcon (2019) Luce (2019) Climax (2019) Ready or Not (2019)

It's a whole movie starring a BABY! In 1994, Hollywood executives bet $50 million on a script by John Hughes that inserted an infant into the "Home Alone" outline. Nobody saw it. Well, except one of our Old Millennial hosts. He saw it on opening day. "Baby's Day Out" follows Baby Boo on an adventure through the big city as he eludes three hapless kidnappers, including Joe Mantegna and Joe Pantoliano. Joey Pants even sings a more realistic version of "Mary Had a Little Lamb." These criminals fall off multiple buildings, get pummeled by a giant ape and have various atrocities committed to their crotches. Come join the Old Millennials as they play "Spot the Robot Baby," and count all the times co-host Angela was forced to admit she laughed at some of high jinks in this criminally little-seen 90s classic. Okay, classic might be a strong word. Also discussed in this episode: The Farewell (2019) Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw (2019) Dora and the Lost City of Gold (2019) Apollo 11 (2019) Serenity (2019)

Few movies hold such a sacred place in the hearts of Old Millennials quite like 1994's "The Lion King." It was Disney Animation at the peak of its second Renaissance - great songs, a vibrant color palette, inspired vocal performances and detailed animation working together to create memorable, relatable characters. Everything just works. We revisit the 1994 classic and talk about why it's so great, including the incomparable Jeremy Irons, JTT fever, and what the hell Matthew Broderick is doing here. Oh, and there's some spirited disagreement on Timon, Pumbaa and "Hakuna Matata." It means no worries, and Disney made sure we heard it a million times throughout the 1990s, and aren't we all just SO HAPPY it's back again in 2019?! We also discuss the "photo-realistic" remake of "The Lion King." It's terrible and we'll tell you why (although if you love the original, then you can probably figure out what's wrong with the new one). Also discussed in this episode: Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood (2019) Dumbo (2019) The Lion King (2019)

Be sure to put on those lava-proof tires and snorkel exhaust pipes, because we're headed to "Dante's Peak," the second best place to live (population below 20,000) and the only volcano movie of 1997... oh, wait, damnit, Tommy Lee Jones made one too. Anyway, the better (?) volcano movie stars a James Bond and a Sarah Connor and features a whole bunch of excellent practical effects, a pyroclastic cloud, and some of the dumbest movie characters of the 1990s. That includes Grandma Ruth and her fateful dip into an acid lake. Boy howdy, do we have some thoughts on that one. Shaun Scott returns to the podcast to discuss his visit to the "Dante's Peak" set in Wallace, Idaho during production. He's a pretty big deal. Also discussed in this episode: Spider-Man: Far From Home (2019) Midsommar (2019) Future Man (TV series) Married at First Sight (TV series)

Most Samuel L. Jackson highlight reels lean hard on "Pulp Fiction" and his other Quentin Tarantino collaborations. But Jackson may deliver the most quips-per-frame in "The Long Kiss Goodnight," thanks in part to a Shane Black script and a stoic co-star in the form of Geena Davis. She plays a suburban mom with amnesia. Then she remembers she was a ruthless assassin. Ice, knives and a baby doll that pees itself factor into this underappreciated buddy action comedy. Plus we play the new game, "Is Cutthroat Island an actual movie?" The Old Millennials record from a special studio, thanks in part to one of our hosts losing an appendix. It's Old Millennials Remember Movies... and surgeries! Also discussed in this episode: Toy Story 4 (2019) Shaft (2019) Late Night (2019) John Wick Chapter 3: Parabellum (2019) The Last Black Man in San Francisco (2019) Charmed reboot series What/If series

Underground worm monsters and Kevin Bacon. Obviously, "Tremors" is awesome. The humor-horror combination is attempted often but rarely replicated. So how does it work so well? Practical effects, hilarious reaction shots and the discipline to never let the movie go TOO BIG with antics. Angela and Tyler discuss a classic, as well as how so many inferior movies try to be "Tremors" and "Ghostbusters" but never get it right, sequels to "Tremors" and "Ghostbusters" included. Plus, Tyler recites verbatim scenes from "Jurassic Park" any time Ariana Richards' character is mentioned. "It's a UNIX SYSTEM! I know this!" Also discussed in this episode: The Perfection (2019) Joe Mauer's retirement ceremony (yes, we know it's a movie podcast) Men in Black International (2019) Us (2019) New seasons of "The OA" and "The Handmaid's Tale"
