Time to get this key master and gate keeper together and show...

It’s time to head back to the mid 90s to a time where hollywood executives wanted you to believe that it didn’t matter how big, strong and athletic you were. As long as you had a first-time coach who knows nothing about the sport and you utilize trick plays, you can and most certainly will beat the best team in the land.  We are of course talking about 1994’s Little Giants. •0:00:00 - Introductions •0:04:00 - Memories of first viewing •0:06:45 - Pertinent movie details  •0:12:15 - Critical...

American Beauty came out in 1999 and clearly struck a chord with filmgoers. It became the talk of the nation and ended up winning 5 Oscars including best picture. 25 years later, do we all still feel the same way about it?  Are we still inspired by Ricky’s story about the plastic bag? Are we making mental notes about our own meaningless lives because of Lester’s commentary on suburbia and middle age? Or are we feeling slightly confused and wondering what we ever saw in this flick? Regardless,...

The original Alien movie is easily explained by saying that it is Star Wars meets 2001 A Space Odyssey meets The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Basically, Jaws but in Space. And when you can garner comparisons of all of those movies, then it is no wonder why it won an Oscar and is the 51st highest rated movie on IMDB. The movie that made us all afraid of stomach aches. Does it still hold up? Does AJ think it is too spooky? Do we think about this movie every time we have a bad stomach ache? All this...
