Movie Night with the Youngs

This week Britney and Nicole discuss one of their favorite movies, "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom." Even though they enjoy the movie, they both realize there is a lot of cultural insensitivity and racism throughout, and oh yeah, it doesn't really even have a plot! There are so many actions scenes throughout this movie that have no plausibility and make no sense. No wonder Mythbusters tried so many myths from t...

Britney and Nicole find out the hard way that recording an episode during a huge storm, is going to give them a few technical problems. But never fear, the sisters get through their discussion of this week's movie "Little Nemo: Adventures in Slumberland" pretty much unscathed...well, they do get into an epic disagreement about the words to King Morpheus's scepter incantation, so maybe not. They also discuss how ...

Britney and Nicole are starting to find that thinking of questions for odd movies like, "The Last Unicorn", is difficult. But never fear, they got it and end up having an interesting conversation. They discuss mistakes from their past that have made them think: "yup, that was a choice!" The sisters agree on what band or musician would create the soundtrack to their life. And on a very funny tangent, they highly ...

Britney and Nicole conclude that this week's movie, "The Last Unicorn" is not made for children! It's extremely creepy and weird, and had both of them scratching their head during several key moments. The sister's agree this unfortunately is another movie with a extremely stereotypical female lead character who can't save herself and wants to change herself for the love of a man. The movie deals with a...

Britney and Nicole continue their "movies that scared us that shouldn't have" month with the 1980s classic: "The NeverEnding Story." It's very clear from the beginning that Britney has several issues with this movie, and the sisters admit that they honestly couldn't catch the names of a majority of the characters. They grimace about how this is another movie that sends a young child to save a worl...

Britney and Nicole disagree on whether this week's movie, "The Labyrinth" belongs in this months category of "movies that scared us, that shouldn't have". Nicole admits to finding the movie boring and fast forwarding several sections, while Britney feels the movie wasn't as scary as she thought it was as a kid. One thing they agree on is that the main character is overdramatic and annoying, and Da...

This week's movie "The Dark Crystal" will go down in Movie Night with the Youngs as the fastest: "is it nostalgia or does it hold up" conclusion EVER! Britney and Nicole talk about how confusing they found this movie. What exactly is the plot, and why is every creature in this movie moving so slow? Like glacially slow! The sisters compliment the production design and the puppets, and Britney comes to realiz...

New month, means new theme: Movies that Scared Us, That Shouldn't Have. And boy do we have a dozie this week! Britney and Nicole watch the 1985 movie "Return to Oz" and yikes, is this movie creepy! The sisters discuss how the movie's music score and production design sounds and looks more like District 12 from "Hunger Games" than the whimsy of Oz. They talk about how the headless Princess Mombi scared ...

Britney and Nicole are usually pretty good at retaining what they saw in each week's movie, but for some reason with "The Little Mermaid" a lot didn't stick. However, the sisters did pick up on the classic Disney tropes of characters only having one parent or none at all, and Disney princesses who are desperately wanting to find adventure elsewhere but instead end up settling for falling in love and marrying som...

This week's lightning round for "Aladdin" is filled with lots of laughs and Britney and Nicole learn a few new things. They solve the question from this week's earlier episode of what exactly the Cave of Wonders told Aladdin he couldn't touch. They tell each other what they would wish for if they had a magic genie. And  wonder if there is a weight limit on the magic carpet? Britney also teaches Nicole about...

We are starting to see a disturbing pattern with these Disney classic movies: lots of violence! This week's movie "Aladdin" fits the bill, so much so that Disney+ even begins the movie with a content warning. Often times Britney and Nicole seem to have similar thoughts about each week's movie, but this week it's almost like they are sharing one brain. They discuss their thoughts on why Jasmine has to get ma...

It wouldn't be a Disney classic if someone didn't die, huh? Britney and Nicole really see how committed Disney is to that plot device in this week's movie "The Lion King." The sisters talk about how emotional this movie made them, and how for the first time they picked up on all the inspirational and prophetic life lessons Mufasa instilled in Simba. The sisters clearly missed those as kids, but this time ar...
