New England Movie Draft

Season 6 · Episode 10

Saturday, November 22, 2025 • Duration 01:53:29

Happy almost Thanksgiving! To celebrate the history of our nation, we're going back to our roots as New Englanders to do a NEW ENGLAND MOVIE DRAFT! We may be biased, but some of our favorite movies take place in Massachusetts and the like, so we're bringing on two fellow New Englanders to draft some of the best movies that take place in this part of the country to get in touch with our pilgrimy roots.

Our first R-rated movie here on The Old Kids Movies, we're answering the age-old question: "How come nobody's ever tried to be a superhero?"

A movie that was hugely impactful for us as teenagers, it's a violent, profanity-filled romp that's certainly not for kids. That's why we waited to cover it this month. Enjoy!

Welcome to The Old Kids...I mean, Teens Movies! We're stepping it up this month for four straight weeks of our favorite movies we watched WHEN we were teens, ABOUT teens, FOR teens. To start off the month, we're talking about the movie that ushered AJ into teenagerdom – 2007's Disturbia.

This movie might just be the most accurate movie about millennial teenagers, ever. We gush about the pacing, dialogue, hangout nature, and threading in of the thriller elements.

Stay tuned for our episode next week. There are many PERKS awaiting you if you do.

We went 101% on this one as we wrap up pet month.

Revisit the live-action adaptation of the Disney classic, One Hundred and One Dalmatians, in this week's episode! We talk about the descension from clever and witty dialogue into a CGI-filled and dialogue-light second half. The dogs were cute the whole time, though.

Next month, get ready to skip a few grades.
