This week Elise and Jenny rewatch the children's classic, "Goodfellas." Considered the training wheels of the gangster movie community - "Goodfellas" combines the gratuitous violence of a slasher film with the blind rage of an ageless Joe Pesci (he's 15 if he's a day over 45.) Add in a killer soundtrack (if it's good enough for the weather channel it's good enough for me) and you've...

First of all - yes, it's been a while. But second of all (is that a saying...i'm going with it) a lot has happened! Most importantly - it's VALENTINES DAY and IT'S THE WINTER OLYMPICS so let's settle in and get to know each other again. Let's join hands and return to a simpler time - full of romance and competitive high school skiing - when having a movie that was 12% cartoon and 88% absurdist teen mel...

Happy Friday the 13th! We thought we would break our silence to say, there will be more silence. But fear not, unlike in horror movies, we will indeed be right back.

Before we take pre-election break we decided to talk about Elise's favorite holiday: Halloween. Whip out your vampire teeth and cheap face paint as we dissect the amazing costume choices of, let's be honest, our parents.

During the Cold War, when our enemies were the USSR and North Korea, we had but one hope to keep us safe: naval pilot Pete “Maverick” Mitchell. Okay, so we had an entire military, but Maverick was still pretty important. Buckle up ladies and gentlemen, we’re soaring high on sweet ‘80s tunes and shirtless dudes in locker rooms.

While the love story between Maverick and Charlie was the model of a passionate relationship to a younger...

Elise and Jenny bust out their denim overalls and sporty rain coats to kick back in style discussing the ah-mahzing musical guests and outrageous physical comedy of Nickelodeon’s “All That.” The sketch comedy show we all secretly videotaped auditions for. Or was that just Elise?

Get ready to jam out to the “All That” theme song and judge our serious side eye toward SNL’s longest running cast member and former “All That” star.

@EliseVess and @jroseglass are back from their, let's be honest, extended vacation. We are excited to bring you a slightly new format and the same old jibber jabber.

This week, come along as we discuss the children's classic (and a must watch for any self respecting adult or Paul Fieg and Judd Apatow fan). Children, candy, the struggles of weight loss...who can ask for anything more.

This week on WLUWT, let's all venture back to a simpler time...a time when immigrant wallabies and morbidly obese steer could coexist.

Money can't buy happiness or so they say...well not according to the laws of all children's movies where committing check fraud and money laundering are the only path to true happiness. Join Elise and Jenny this week as they discuss the plot of Blank Check - a movie that promotes minimal adult supervision and backpack banks.

Join us for another trip down memory lane as we explore Legends of the Hidden Temple - quite possibly Nickelodeon's most culturally inappropriate show and a favorite to all kids who ever dreamed of being a Blue Barracuda, a Silver Snake, or even a Green Monkey (we all know they were the worst).

Hanna Vess makes a special appearance in honor of National Siblings Day and we all learn about a secret Vess family trait that's ...

Join us this week as we discuss the unending rollercoaster of sexual tension and teen angst that was the WB classic Dawson's Creek. Quite possibly the number one generator of terrible life altering (and often ruining) assumptions in Jenny and Elise's lives.

This week Elise and Jenny discuss Jenny's top five (or seven) favorite Seinfeld episodes and just how absolutely incredible and full of life lessons the show about nothing truly was...for Jenny. Elise talks of her hatred for all things Seinfeld and tries feebly to compare it to Friends...lol.

Who didn't stay up late with their mom to watch snick at night - quietly pee their pants and then retire to their twin bed terrified that they could be turned into a doll at any moment? Oh...was that only me? Ok well, tune in this week as we discuss the ever classic Nickelodeon signature "Are You Afraid of the Dark."

This episode is dedicated to one of our wonderful listeners and supporters Ryan Ko. What can be said about The Reading Rainbow that PBS hasn't already in the last 30 effing years.

Join us on a magical journey. (some would even say an incredible journey) of adventure, but mostly fear and tears. This week we discuss Homeward Bound, our desires to own a fictional dog named Shadow, and why we wanted to give him lots of dog hugs.

Among other things Homeward Bound is a classic from the catacombs of our childhood that truly stands the test of time.

Who doesn't love oafish dinosaur puppets drenched in satire with a splash of childlike wonderment and horrifically inappropriate references to sexual harassment, racism, and drug abuse? I know I do!
