Watch your step! This week, we're revisiting that sci-fi family classic, Honey, I Shrunk the Kids. Back in 1989, this Disney flick delighted audiences with its cute concept, its practical effects, and its ... completely terrifying fight-to-the-death bug battles. But now, decades later, does it now feel a little less than the sum of its parts? Is Rick Moranis' Wayne a bad scientist and a bad dad? Do both parents in this "family movie" have issues way bigger than shrunken kids? And why does the mud look so gross? The Old Roommates double-check their Cheerios and give this beloved blockbuster a revisit through their middle-aged lens. Grab a giant cookie and join them.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
