It’s May, it’s May, the lusty month of May! Despite that introduction, Paul and Erika aren’t talking about musicals, or Camelot, or Julie Andrews…no, they’re spending the month talking about spy movies! And how else could they kick off this month than by talking about the film that took the desire deep in Tom Cruise’s heart to one day die while flinging himself off of a moving train, and fanning that desire into a spark, and that s...

Wedding April closes out with a film that’s about a wedding…but also about so much more! One of our earliest mass exposures to Julia Roberts, Mystic Pizza also has room for Annabeth Gish, Lili Taylor, Conchata Ferrell, and trio of stone-cold hotties. Erika and Paul are here to talk you through pool games, hitchhiking and boner killers as they dive into Mystic Pizza!

Last week, Erika and Paul kicked off Wedding Movie Month with a modern, Oscar-nominated classic. This week, they aimed a little lower and went for the Jennifer Lopez rom-com The Wedding Planner! While this movie might not have everything, this episode does: marriage proposals, multiple impressions of famous people, and, of course, a Kraft Mac & cheese versus Rice-A-Roni debate!

Happy April, everyone…That Aged Well is ringing in the spring by talking about wedding movies all month. And what better film to kick it off with than Ang Lee’s The Wedding Banquet? Now, did this movie having a soon-to-be-released remake have something to do with this scheduling as well?? Who can say? But, even without the remake, enjoy this modern classic from the 90s!

Crazy Technology Month comes to a close with our Patreon Pick, WarGames starring Matthew Broderick, Ally Sheedy, and Dabney Coleman! It feels like this film has been forgotten, but everyone buckle up…the phrase “uncomfortably prescient” comes to mind while watching it. Don’t worry, Paul and Erika are here to inject a lot of bathroom humor to keep things light!

Here it is, the movie that gave us the idea for Technology Month in the first place: Robert Redford in Sneakers! And not just Robert Redford, but also Sidney Poitier, David Strathairn, River Phoenix, Dan Aykroyd, Ben Kingsley and the queen, Mary McDonnell…it’s a cast so stacked, the film might as well be about pancakes. Join Erika and Paul as they dive headfirst into this modern classic, filled with film icons!

From technology that kinda-sorta makes sense in The Net, Paul and Erika head into full on sci-fi territory for the Rick Moranis smash Honey, I Shrunk The Kids! The film inspires them to offer thoughts on fishing and camping, fall in love with an animatronic ant, and wonder at the different potential applications of a Shrink Ray…all while giving them a chance to see Kristine Sutherland, aka Joyce Summers, aka Buffy’s Mom. You know t...

After a brief detour to Ancient Greece, Erika and Paul return to the present (kinda) to kick off Tech Month with Sandra Bullock and The Net! We can all revel in the nostalgia and the hilarity of the technology in this film…but are we prepared for what the film got right? That’s a question that can only be answered by listening to this episode!

All previous podcast rules are thrown out as Paul and Erika celebrate their 300th episode the only way they know how: by talking about Zack Snyder’s 2006 action epic 300! Your hosts have never offered their particular hilarious brand of film critique to such a recent release. Come journey back to Sparta with Gerard Butler, Lena Headey, Rodrigo Santoro, and…wait…is that Michael Fassbender’s music?!?

The finale of romance month came so quickly (which is so not romantic)! But, nevertheless, here we are with our final film of February: 1994’s Only You starring Marisa Tomei, Robert Downey Jr, and, most importantly, BONNIE HUNT! After years, the Hunt For Hunt returns and your hosts have no choice but to celebrate.

We had to have a fairy tale during Romance Month, and we landed on a doozy: 1998’s Ever After! You know Paul and Erika are going to be giddy over any film that features a Barrymore, a Huston, AND a Lansbury (it’s true, look it up)! So, how does this Cinderella retelling age? Listen and find out!

After a lovely month spent taking the piss out of TV shows, Erika and Paul are back on their usual beat: taking the piss out of movies! That Aged Well is celebrating romance all month and starting with 1998’s fantasy melodrama City Of Angels. “How do you talk to an angel?” you might be think-singing. Well, we don’t know, but thanks to this movie we all know that we should be wearing bike helmets.

Well, well, well, we’ve come to the end of January and our final nighttime soap (for now)...the medical drama that took the 90s by storm, ER! And this episode has everything, except the majority of the main cast of ER. But instead, it’s got Ewan MacGregor! Not a bad trade, overall!
