Sisters Kelsey and Brett rewatch their favorite movies from childhood to view them through adult eyes. Jokes that went over your head, glaring plot holes you just didn't care about as a kid, and general adult observations, make for a fun way to revisit your childhood classics.

    This week we were asked to suspend our belief a little too much. A 30 year old man playing a 10 year old, that one push of a button could bring down a plane, and that a 10 year old boy could plan such elaborate pranks. But we did, and we did it for you! This week we watched Clifford, and no it's not about a big red dog, but about a little boy who dreams of visiting Dino World. A movie that still sticks in our minds after all this time! Hope you enjoy!

We'll talk about just how well this movie holds up, puppets and all, how are giant turtles so sneaky, and an appearance of an awesome actor in one of his earliest roles. Overall, this is a great one, so be sure to listen, like, and give us a review if you enjoy it! Cowabunga!

    You know how Disney has a treasure trove of "B movies". You know the ones, they maybe went to the theater, but they most likely went straight to VHS. Well behold the greatest of the b-movies, The Great Mouse Detective. We really loved this one, not only as children, but as adults too! We'll chat about smoking, alcohol, and trauma, because that's obviously what great children's movies were made of in the 80's, and who doesn't love drunk mice...

    This week we are talking about Heavyweights! A lovable comedy about a group of kids sent to camp only to find the fun loving owners have sold the Camp Hope to a fitness enthusiast determined to help the kids loose weight. Hilarity obviously ensues. We'll talk about how we've grown less adventurous in our older years, why Ben Stiller is the best, the many many plot holes, and so much more.

    This week we are talking about the movie classic, FernGully! A staple from our childhood, it taught us about taking care of the earth, and that humans are sometimes not the best. But in a fun way... From the great songs, to the off brand romance, and can't forget the all star voice cast (Robin Williams raps!) it's a classic that really hasn't changed much since childhood. The biggest conclusion? We didn't listen...
