Reel Window: Rewatching Random Movies from our Childhood

Happy New Year! We’re back! And we brought Sheila!! And she’s picked a movie that all three of us saw, but we remember very little about. This 1990 flick stars quite a few people we’ve already seen on our podcast, and Sheila’s got some good trivia for the sisters, so pull up a chair and have a listen and see if you can guess the movie before we do!

Warm up your vocal chords and join hands round the Christmas tree everyone because the sisters are talking about “How The Grinch Stole Christmas”! A classic tv special that was beloved by little Pauline and Lisa. Do they still love it as adults? Obviously. Do they have fun talking about why? Of course! Listen and find out why this pick brings them such joy.

Alrighty!! It’s Pauline’s Triviasode for the holiday season! It’s truly a holiday classic for us. And it’s one Lisa knows all too well. Too well. Sooooo… I will bet you $100 that you don’t guess this before Lisa does. Remember, she doesn’t even have the quote yet!

Lisa chose our first official Christmas movie of the holiday season!! And it is the animated short, 'Mickey's Christmas Carol', a Disney retelling of the Charles Dickens classic with all of your favourite Disney favourites: Mickey, Donald, Goofy, along with more obscure characters: Jiminy Cricket, Willy the Giant, Pete, Rat and Mole, and even more randoms. Check out our episode to see if this 1983...

Let the bells ring out and the banners fly because it is time for a Christmas movie!

Will it be one she wants to watch? Naturally. Tune in to find out if the film this week is one of your childhood faves!

At long last, it’s “Lethal Weapon” time! Time to discuss a violent, Christmas 80’s film starring Mel Gibson and Danny Glover that set the tone for buddy cop movies everywhere. Were the sisters too young to watch it? Of course! Did they watch it anyway? Naturally. Now that their adults, do they still love it? Maybe. Tune in to find out more!

Big sister, JM is here this week to discuss a childhood favourite that we absolutely adored growing up.

Ok. So Lisa and Pauline have VERY different opinions on this movie from their high school days. And they’re both struggling with how to rate it out of 10.

It’s Pauline’s turn to pick the movie this week and she is definitely shifting gears from last week’s pick. No doubt some of you will have guessed it from the title of the episode alone, but how long will it take Lisa? And will she be happy when she does? Listen and find out.

At last! The long-awaited review of 1991’s “The Addams Family”.

Pauline has picked a classic 80s movie our family still quotes to this day. Will Lisa figure it out before Pauline runs out of questions? Who can say! Better listen to find out!

This week the sisters are talking about some classic Disney. That’s right, Lisa picked the animated 1959 film, “Sleeping Beauty”, an absolute favourite of both her and Pauline when they were little. But is is it still a favourite for the two sisters? How does a 1959 traditional fairy tale hold up under modern scrutiny? Is it worth a rewatch or should this one stay in the past?

Oh boy, strap yourselves in everyone because Pauline has chosen a truly random film from the sisters’ childhoods. 1994’s “Clifford” an obscure comedy starring Martin Short, Charles Grodin, and Mary Steenburgen.

This week the sisters are joined by special guest - Kevin Brunnen! The youngest of the Brunnen clan.
