We are re-watching films from our childhood to see if they live up! Our childhood was in the 80s-90s, but movie release dates can be outside of that window. In each episode we focus on one movie and will score whether it still lives up to us now that we're adults, and whether it would live up for kids today. It's all very scientific and professional.*
*narrator voice*
It's actually neither...
Get our your flux capacitors and puffy vests because we are going back to the future, which is now our long ago past. We discuss whether the cringe of kissing your mom can be overcome by the sheer delight that is Christopher Lloyd as Doc Brown.

Stand By Me
If there’s no pie vomit or leeches in unfortunate places, is it even a coming-of-age story? Somehow, we middle-aged ladies are still moved by dumb boys doing dumb things.
We also tip our hats to Rob Reiner, who gave us some of our most beloved cultural touchstones — including this movie. Rest in peace.
