That Aged Well

Have you ever listened to this podcast, and thought “Man, I wish Erika and Paul would talk about New York City more. Like, they live there, and they NEVER bring that up.” Well, have we ever got an episode for you, because 1999’s 200 Cigarettes not only boasts a cast of thousands, it was shot in the New York of the hosts’ college-years and it is hitting their nostalgia buttons hard. Strap in for so...

It’s a That Aged Well first, as Paul and Erika RETURN to a subject for the first time in the history of the show! After reviewing the first season of Friends in 2019, they now kick off Holiday December with a look at three of the iconic show’s famous Thanksgiving episodes. Here lies such classics as Chandler in a box, Rachel’s “trifle,” and a big swing on stunt casting that may or may not be succe...

We are rounding out Classics month with a real, undeniable classic: it’s Billy Wilder’s 1944 noir Double Indemnity! Did everyone else already know that this movie is about insurance? No, really, a lot of the plot revolves around insurance policies! Also, point of order, Erika and Paul would like to formally apologize to all Lolas for the slander on this episode. They will try (but probably fail) t...

Man, this month is gonna give listeners whiplash…after a sunny musical and a disturbing melodrama, we’re going with Mel Brooks’ 1974 Western spoof Blazing Saddles! Sure, Paul once claimed he would never even attempt to talk about this movie, but Erika got him drunk and before he knew it, they were recording.

Classic Film November rolls on with something just a little different…1959’s Suddenly, Last Summer which might just possibly be the darkest film ever done on That Aged Well. And we did A Nightmare On Elm Street two weeks ago!

We’ve made it through October, which means we’re kicking off another tradition here at That Aged Well…Classic Movie November!

Come join Paul and Erika as they bask in what is widely considered to be one of the greatest...

It’s the final Monday in October and y’all know what that means…Erika and Paul watched a slasher film! Well, Erika watched it and Paul “watched” it, but we can only hope for so much here. Particularly with this one, Wes Craven’s classic A Nightmare On Elm Street, which gives your hosts a chance to talk about DIY projects, bed TVs, and random bottles of vodka!

Spooky October is in full swing, and That Aged Well is moving from witches to aliens! Paul and Erika watched The Faculty and are in awe of the level of talent in the cast, the level of caffeine pills in the plotting, and the level of stupid in the haircuts.

It’s October, which means it’s Spooky Season, which means it’s scary movies all month! Erika and Paul are kicking it off with a true classic of the genre this time…Rosemary’s Baby! As anyone who has seen this movie could predict, the Elitist East Coast C*ntent starts early and goes late in this very New York film, but that doesn’t mean they also don’t take the time to celebrate Mia Farrow, John Ca...

For the finale of TV September, Paul and Erika are heading out west to talk about the iconic frontier soap (is that a genre?) Little House On The Prairie!

It’s been two weeks of hour-long shows…let’s check in with a half-hour sitcom!

This week on That Aged Well, Paul and Erika take a closer at one of the most iconic shows of the 90’s, Ally McBeal! The show took over the culture for a year or so, Calista Flockhart became a household name, Vonda Shepard sang a lot of songs…and it achieved all the goals of feminism at the same time! Or wait, did it do that last one? You can follow That Aged Well on Bluesky (@ThatAgedWell.bsky.soc...

Welcome back, and we hope you all had a wonderful Labor Day! Now that the kids are back in school, what better time to celebrate some old school television with a TV month?

The finale of Dance Movie Month is already here…how is it possible? Also, given the clamoring for an episode on Shag from 1989, how is it possible that Paul and Erika haven’t done this movie yet? Join That Aged Well as they try to unpack proper nicknames, the virtue of video games vs. fishing, and, of course, beach beauty pageants.

Erika and Paul have covered a lot of films on this podcast…films they loved, films they hated, films upon which there will never be agreement betwixt them. However, every once in a while, a film comes along that they both are so unabashedly delighted by that they devolve into their base selves. This is our way of telling you to beware…beyond this point lies some of the worst Australian accent work...

Okay, so last week the dancing was…well, it was. This week?? The dancing can only be termed world-class. Did you all know that Mikhail Baryshnikov and Gregory Hines made a movie about communism and the power of dance? You didn’t? Neither did Paul! OPEN THE SCHOOLS!!

It’s Dance Movie August, y’all, and Paul & Erika are high-kicking it off like a pair of very short Rockettes with a discussion of 2001’s Save The Last Dance!

What better movie for the finale of superhero July than the finale of the original Batman film series? That’s right, Erika and Paul are talking all about Batman & Robin this week!

We’ve got two superhero movies under our collective belts this month…seems like a perfect time for a parody! Paul and Erika take on 1999’s Mystery Men, and given the number of questions they have about it, like “who, what, and why,” it’s aptly titled.

Superhero Month flies on as Erika and Paul move from heroic ninja turtles to heroic ninja vampires! That Aged Well takes on 1998’s Blade, starring Wesley Snipes, Kris Kristofferson (??!!), Stephen Dorff, and N’Bushe Wright as the undersung Dr. Karen Jenson! Look, is this a movie that always makes the most sense? No. But is it a grand guignol that will no doubt delight one host and gross out the ot...

It’s July and all month That Aged Well is talking superheroes. Kicking it off is the 1990 classic about that lean, green ninja team, The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!

Paul and Erika take you through this classic tale of gossip, matchmaking, and true love, with all the commentary and side quests you’ve come to lov...
