Live UP
We are re-watching films from our childhood to see if they live up! Our childhood was in the 80s-90s, but movie release dates can be outside of that window. In each episode we focus on one movie and will score whether it still lives up to us now that we're adults, and whether it would live up for kids today. It's all very scientific and professional.* *narrator voice* It's actually neither...

Get our your flux capacitors and puffy vests because we are going back to the future, which is now our long ago past. We discuss whether the cringe of kissing your mom can be overcome by the sheer delight that is Christopher Lloyd as Doc Brown.
And great scott(!) here is a no context link relevant to this episode that you won't regret clicking on. You're welcome.

Where is the line between heartwarming charm and Hallmark-movie drivel? For one of us, these mismatched lovers skated into our hearts one toe pick at a time. And no, we’re not talking about Heated Rivalry.

If there’s no pie vomit or leeches in unfortunate places, is it even a coming-of-age story? Somehow, we middle-aged ladies are still moved by dumb boys doing dumb things.
We also tip our hats to Rob Reiner, who gave us some of our most beloved cultural touchstones — including this movie. Rest in peace.

It's not Christmas until mom throws a gremlin in a blender. We revisit what might be the first holiday horror movie to enter the chat and at least one of us wasn't a grinch about it.

We are re-releasing our top listened to episode which asks the question "what if Santa was a d*ck". We discuss just how far nostalgia can go for a movie to live up and what an interest in dentistry can be a euphemism for. This was our 2nd ever episode so excuse the amateur audio!

Gird your loins, fellow road warriors — we’ve got some travel anxiety for you! We revisit this classic holiday buddy comedy with Steve Martin and John Candy and ask: is it as funny as it should be or have the good times gone a bit off the rails?

This October we are re-releasing our favorite spooky season episodes and BEETLEJUICE had a prescient prediction for the yet-to-be-released sequel (please excuse the amateur audio).
Who invited a pervy demon to our first encounter with death's beaurocracy? We found new things to appreciate about characters not named Beetlejuice and have some notes we're sure the producers of the sequel will take seriously...
This movie is an abomination. Some therapy via podcast was needed to process the cringiest movie we've reviewed yet and perhaps answer why Jess actually LIKED this movie as a kid. Why did we watch this, you ask? Well listeners, we were required to activate the self -imposed "The Ladybugs" clause, which stipulates that we watch this movie after we deem five movies in a row as living up. We have regrets.

This October we are re-releasing our favorite spooky season episodes and THE ADDAMS FAMILY goes way back to the fourth one we published (please excuse the amateur audio).
In this episode we ask whether host Amanda Treat is a real life Wednesday Addams, and whether the movie experience boils down to basking in the essence of Anjelica Huston as Morticia.

This October we are re-releasing our favorite spooky season episodes starting with THE LOST BOYS.
In this mid-stakes vampire movie a hot guy and a couple of Coreys run amok while we all secretly root for Kiefer Sutherland. Amanda also tries really hard to convince Jess why THE LOST BOYS is appealing to the ladies.
This was our second 'After Dark' selection where we take a look at the movies we absolutely should not have bee...
We love our villains and urban hellscapes here on the Live Up Pod and Gotham's Joker gave us so much to discuss that at least one of us wondered whether we needed Batman at all. Also, we've been so generous lately with our Yes-It-Did-Live-Up designation that we added a little extra consequence for ourselves because we love low stakes drama. (And in case you're wondering this is for the 1989 version starring Michael Keat...
In our defense, we were only cranky because we cherish this movie so much. We love our sportsball and strong female characters here on the Live Up Pod so complaints were registered and newfound heroes were anointed. #TeamKit

We are shocked to discover how close we are in age to unhinged ship captains and ancient moms. The 50th anniversary of the theatrical release of Jaws could not possibly go by without discussing whether it deserves the iconic status as the OG summer blockbuster.

Teens confess their trauma because what else do they have to do on a Saturday. We wonder who we relate to now and how much bullying is acceptable to enjoy watching this classic 40 years later!

We go on a classic 80s quest and try to unsee the Lord of the Rings parallels. Also on the agenda are trauma scenes (you know the one) and Amanda once again needing to explain the appeal of a sexy leading man to the resident lesbian of the podcast.
Side note that we recorded this episode prior to Val Kilmer passing away. Rest in peace Madmartigan.

The most memorable mismatched pair gets put to the nostalgia test and ONE of us was a little pearl clutchy about the premise. We present the case of whether our generation's love for Danny DeVito and Arnold Schwarzenegger can overcome the cringe parts

We revisit the OG of neurotic New York romantic comedies and wonder whether ugly wagon wheel coffee tables and fake diner orgasms are still funny.
We reference this muppet diner scene parody and oh my it's worth a watch.

...The annual tradition of Amanda making Jess watch unhinged Christmas movies she's never seen continues with another Rankin-Bass classic that makes us wish we were watching Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer instead. Our Christmas spirit may need a lift after seeing how whiny Santa can get.

It was the best of Bill Murray, it was the worst of Bill Murray, it was the age of VCRs....nope, wrong Dickens novel. Happy holidays to all the cynics out there. We give to you another class warfare story full of nostalgia for at least one of us.
