The Old Kids Movies – Details, episodes & analysis

If you had a million dollars, would you put it towards a movie better than this one?

This episode, we're revisiting 1994's Blank Check for its 30th anniversary. Trevor hated it, but AJ was surprised by how much he enjoyed it. Check out our discussion to see what we had to say!

A kids movie? Tell that to the hospital scene!

This episode, we break down one of Trevor's all-time favorites – 2004's Spider-Man 2! Take Mister Aziz's advice and gooooo listen to our discussion about Raimisms, the train scene, and whether or not Aunt May knew Peter was Spider-Man.

Another anniversary movie, because why not? This time, we're flashing back to 2004 to rob a bank and hop on a go kart for Catch that Kid! AJ remembers it with fondness. Trevor chose to go to an arcade back in the day instead of seeing it – and he doesn't regret it in the slightest. 

Also, make sure you stay until the end for a very important ask that AJ has for Trevor!

Cheer up – it's almost Halloween!
 
This week, we're joined by professional VFX artist Josephine Allegretti to discuss the lasting legacy of 2006's Monster House. In the past 15 years, it has become regarded as one of the best Halloween movies ever. So why do we keep revisiting this old kids movie every October?

Join Alvin, Simon, Theodore, and – of course – The Old Kids as we recount this tale of childhood terror! One of AJ's favorite nostalgic fall classic – and a new watch for Trevor – this squeaky movie mixes The Wolfman, The Chipmunks, and a bit of Fright Night for a musical adventure that might be best left as a memory on a square TV in your suburban living room. Listen to the full episode to see where we landed on this 2000 direct-to-video movie. 

Next week – a haunted movie that takes place in a big house. 

HEADS UP! Our audio sucks this episode since we actually recorded our episode on this road trip movie on the road. Thanks for your understanding! 

During the Old Kids' road trip, we revisited 2005's Are We There Yet? Join us as we discuss photosensitive deer, literal toilet humor, making kids cry, yelling in movie theaters, and more!

Don't forget to write us a review and let us know what movies you want us to talk about next.

Reminder: The Old Kids are hitting the road next week, so we'll be taking a few weeks off from editing and recording. We'll be back on your podcast feeds later this month for some throwback fall and Halloween movies!
