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 handle Harvard Law School and the spoiled rich kids who think wearing pink is a crime.
The box office success of “Legally Blonde” propelled...

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 in 2023. Per usual, he came up with a pretty respectable list for his Top 10 Movies for 2023. I, on the other hand, crammed as many 2023 ...

"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" in 1995), the studio had nowhere to go but down, though many Old Millennials (us included) will vouch for the likes of "Mulan" and "Poca...

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!"

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.

"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 Jones and Jim Carrey. So the legend goes, the crusty Oscar winner did not sanction Mr. Carrey's buffoonery.
Despite stories of onset turm...

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 character played by Kathleen Turner pass out at her 25-year high school reunion and wake up in 1960 during her senior year. Her biggest decisio...

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 Practice," "Boston Legal" and "Ally McBeal," wrote this Croc Attack flick back in 1999... for reasons unknown. It just seems like a left-field ...

"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 Green Goblin mask looked stupid in 2002, so much so that future iterations of the character rarely returned to the face covering (it's p...

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 Millennials hosts Tyler and Angela compare brackets and argue about 32 (ish) 90s-era sequels to decide the best of the best. Keep in mind, the...

"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" had a killer premise, an incredible cast led by Robin Williams and Julia Roberts and that steady Spielbergian hand. The marketing for t...

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 Turtle Mania is either ironic or steeped in heavy nostalgia.
It's no secret that one Old Millennials Remember Movies host is one of the mo...

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. Angela used up some of that same time watching "Game of Thrones." Both of them used January to catch up on some late breaking movies, an...

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 of 2022 deserves this piece of turd.
The year 1999 is often regarded as one of the great movie years, and "Forces of Nature" probably do...

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 titles that can define a young person's movie-watching education. The 1939 fantasy musical, directed (mostly) by Victor Fleming and based ...

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 prone?) old man, who decides that he wants to work RETAIL during the busy holiday season. We don't know if it's magic, but give that guy a m...

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. Okay? Cool. No reason to even have a podcast about it then. BUT if you need some convincing, let Old Millennials Remember Movies explain h...

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 Potter movie to be rated PG-13, and it's probably all because of the terrifying, nose-less face of Ralph Fiennes, making his official debut a...

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 unhinged, and it kinda makes sense that he loses custody of his kids. He's lucky he's not in jail for poisoning Pierce Brosnan!

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 muppet movie!
"Labyrinth," created by Jim Henson and his talented crew of puppeteers, is filled to the castle towers with incredible product...
