HEY OTHER PARENTS - S02E018: Movies That Shaped Our Childhoods!

🎙️ In This Episode:

This week, we’re diving into the movies that shaped our childhoods—whether they were magical, terrifying, or just completely inappropriate for kids. We’ll explore the classics we rented from the library, the ones we caught on primetime TV with all the curse words dubbed over, and the films our parents probably shouldn’t have let us watch. Plus, we’ll see if the movies we loved as kids still hold up when we show them to our own children!

What We Cover:

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

🎥 Nostalgic Movie Picks:

-The films we couldn’t get enough of as kids (think The Goonies, Princess Bride, and Labyrinth!)

-The ones that totally traumatized us (The Exorcist, Poltergeist 2, and Aliens—thanks, parents!).

-How our childhood video rental store visits were an event of their own!

😂 Hits and Misses With Our Kids:

-Which of our childhood favorites our kids actually liked—and which ones flopped.

-Movies that aged poorly vs. the ones that are timeless.

-Unexpected moments when we realized, "Oh wow, this is not kid-friendly!" (Indiana Jones, anyone?)

🧐 Dubbed Over & Edited for TV:

-The weirdest replacements for curse words in primetime movies.

-Those ultra-long TV movie marathons that turned a 90-minute film into a 3-hour event!

🎬 Fun With a BuzzFeed Quiz:

-Can a BuzzFeed quiz guess our favorite movie genre based on our picks from A to Z? Let’s find out!
