It's almost time for us to meet Sweeti Jr! Sweetie will be giving birth to the latest member of the Sweetie Club any day now, so we decided to prepare by watching some classic movies about babies. First up, the sequel to the hit 80s flick Honey, I Shrunk the Kids----Honey, I Blew Up the Kid! 

Following the Szalinski's to Las Vegas, this sequel introduces 2 year old Adam who accidentally gets in the way of Dad's new enlarging laser ...

We did it! We hit our goal of 2 Christmas movies this year. Oh, how times have changed. With our final selection, we're bringing you one of our least favorite characters---Ernest, in the holiday classic: Ernest Saves Christmas.  In a true Christmas miracle however, we both decided this was pretty sweet and probably the least Ernesty of all the Ernest movies (we assume). 

Also, very exciting announcement that Sweetie Jr. makes her v...

Happy Holidays from the Sweeties! This year we're hoping to cover two Christmas movies and we're starting off with Rudolph! This gem from 1964, is in a lot of people's childhood memory banks. We were always afraid of it because the puppets seemed creepy and old though? This year however, we're facing our puppet fears and finally checking it out. So, join us for a rousing discussion about all the interesting choices they made includ...

This week, the Sweeties are tackling one of Sweety's fave movies from her days of being a moody creative teenager---Donnie Darko! Taking place in 1988, Donnie Darko involves a 'troubled' hottie named Donnie Darko who meets a bunny rabbit named Frank and then time travels or something. While we admit, we do not get much of the movie--we can't deny how groundbreaking this film was during a time when teens were fed high doses of Bring...

And so our journey through Spooky Month comes to a close with our final pick--Bride of Boogedy! A follow up to the 1986 classic, Mr Boogedy, Bride of Boogedy focuses again on the Davis family as they try to make their way in the quaint New England town of Lucifer Falls and are faced yet again with Mr. Boogedy and all his BS. This time, the guy needs a wife so he'll stop at nothing to find his bride and take her to the underworld. C...

Spooky season continues now with a TV movie theme! This week we're covering Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen's 1993 classic: Double, Double Toil and Trouble. Though not about to win any acting Oscars, this flick provides some harmless, authentic Halloween atmosphere and some pretty rad bad witch energy from Cloris Leachman. Join us as we reminsince about Halloween parties, discuss MK+A's music 'hits', and complain about bobbing for apple...

Happy Spooky Season!! We're kicking off this most spooky of months with the Disney Original movie classic Halloweentown! Starring cute as a button Debbie Reynolds, this TV movie is....yeah it's not great but it's got nostalgia pouring out of its bones. Join us as we dive into the complexities of the different creatures running amok in town, why or how a ghost can sweat, and finally---was Sophie actually the only real witch of the 3...

The Sweeties are back! (again!) I know we're a broken record but this time it was for good reason as we announced today the upcoming birth of a new Sweetie boy joining the family! Will he be called Sweetie II? Sweeti Jr? Sweetee? Only time will tell. Today however, we watched Toy Soldiers from 1991--a movie often confused with Small Soldiers (which is actually about toys), which takes place in a prep school that has been overtaken ...

We're baaaaaaack! The Sweeties took a mini summer hiatus as life got crazy---but we're back and ready to kick some podcasting butt. First up we give tribute to Paul Rubens who sadly passed away after a private battle with cancer. We love you Paul and we owe this all to you and Large Marge, RIP! 

For this week's flick, we're hitting up the Freelings to see how they're doing in Poltergeist II: The Otherside. Woof you guys. This movie...

Do Do Do Do Do Do Do, Do Do Do Do Do Do Do, Do Do Do Do Do Do Do Dooooooooo. Beverly Hills Cop, from 1984 and starring Eddie Murphy, became an 80s phemonenon and continued the comedian skyrocket to total domination. Part action, part comedy, part buddy cop film and throw in a fish out of water theme - and you have a really fun romp where it's impossible not to laugh at the stuff that Axel Foley gets into, nevermind all the voices a...

If you grew up in the 1990s and had the Disney Channel you most definitely caught one of the better Disney original movies - Not Quite Human, which spawned two sequels (ooo a trilogy!) - and made us really invested in the life of Chip, the Android! Played by Jay Underwood, known to us only as Bug from Uncle Buck and also starring Alan Thicke (RIP best dad ever) and Robin Lively (Teen Witch - top that!), Not Quite Human is all about...

Do you ever wonder, what could happen under, under an umbrella tree? Under the Umbrella Tree, the adorable people + puppets Canadian show that ran on Disney from 1990 - 1997 was a must watch in our household! We loved watching the roommate hijinks of Gloria Gopher, Iggy Iguana, Jacob Bluejay and Holly! We thought it would be fun to re-watch a couple episodes (most available on YouTube) and see if it still brought us cozy kid vibes....

1980's Caddyshack was Harold Ramis' directorial debut! Go Harold! Featuring a slew of funny dudes, lots of improvisational comedy, and a Baby Ruth mistaken for a turd, Caddyshack is considered to be one of the funniest movies to come out of the 80s.  We really had never seen it - but man do a lot of guys (and some girls!) talk about it a lot.  Is it the plethora of one liners? Golf? Gratuitous boobies? We'll never know.  But this m...

The year before Y2K, just as we were all getting ready for the world to end but also sort of loving the new technology that seemed to be streaming our way at lightening speed, The Matrix was released and boy did that F a lot of people up! Starring Keanu Reeves, Carrie Anne Moss and Laurence Fishburn, and a brand new cinematic technology called Bullet Speed. Whoaaaaaa. We didn't see this movie in theaters when it came out (not the b...

This one goes out to our mom, Carol, who loved Romancing the Stone - an action adventure romantic comedy from 1984 starring Kathleen Turner and Michael Douglas. Come to find out, we like these movies now too now that we're in our mid to late 30s and it's directed by our pal, Robert Zemeckis or Bobby Z if you've listened to some of our past episodes on Back to the Future or Forrest Gump.  Romancing the Stone (weird title, we'll go i...

Welcome to Good Burger, home of the Good Burger. Can I take your order?! 1997 brought us this silly little spin-off from everyone's favorite kid's sketch comedy show, All That. Good Burger is all about Ed, a kind hearted, yet dim witted fast food employee who is not that great at his job or being able to take things not literally, but dang we sure do love him.  He soon meets Dexter, who needs to earn mega money during summer vacati...

1994 brought us My Father the Hero, a really inappropriate movie about trying to make a hot guy jealous by pretending your father is your boyfriend, a movie plot that could only come from one place ... France! That's right - this American remake of Mon Pere Ce Heros - stars Gerard Depardieu, the Frenchman Du Jour of the 80s and 90s and Katherine Heigl, very pre Grey's Anatomy as she looks like a tiny baby!  The plot is ridiculous b...

We finally watched Mannequin! Man, has this 1987 CLASSIC been tough to find but the Egyptian gods were on our side this week (also known as HBO Max) and we were able to view this kooky movie about a Jonathan Switcher, a struggling artist who can't hold down a decent job! However, turns out this mannequin he sculpted (?) is actually a hot Egyptian woman named Emmy who is traveling through time looking for the love of her life! Funny...
