Welcome to jr Movies, a podcast/blog where we, your hosts Jon & Rob (“jr”) talk about movies we remember from our junior years as kids and what we think about them today. Are they as good as we thought they were or haven’t they stood up to the test of tim
Hey everybody! We have a new episode for you. We had to do things a little differently and record from our own homes via a video call but we on this episode we talk about Spirit of the 60's.
Hey everyone, we have a new episode out for you to listen to while we all are staying safer at home. This episode was actually recorded awhile back. Today we talk about "Better Off Dead" (1985). Cusack doing what he does best.
We are back everyone! Happy 2020! On this special episode we give you not 1 but 2 music commercials for your review. It's a real special offer. The Buzz and The Buzz Ballads.
Super excited guys! We did it! Two holiday episodes this year... it truly is a wonderful life. On this episode we watched the 1987 CBS classic... A Claymation Christmas Celebration, or as many of you know it as A California Raisins Christmas Special. Also, we talked about the last installment of the Skywalker saga, The Rise of Skywalker. Spoiler Alert in case you haven't seen the new Star Wars movie yet, just stop listening half way through when we tell you to stop.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone, on this episode we watch a childhood classic, The Muppet Christmas Carol (1992), to celebrate the season.
Happy Hanks-Giving everyone! On our holiday special episode we watched the movie that first brought Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks together, Joe Versus The Volcano (1990).
We have a double disc feature for you on this episode, Time Life Music Presents: Ultimate Love Songs Collection. But wait... there's a twist!
Happy Halloween everyone! On this episode we watch a movie about witches, no we didn't watch Hocus Pocus again, or The Witches... we thought about it but then we both remembered it creeped the F out of us. So instead we went with a favorite of Rob's back in the day... The Craft (1996)
Another music episode for you where we talk about Living in the 90's... no not us living in the 90's... the album.
The NFL season has started so we watched a football movie, Necessary Roughness (1991). This movie is basically the grown up version of Little Giants, so what is there not to love?! It's got the guy from Quantum Leap, the guy from that show Sinbad, a young Jason Bateman... and of course Kathy Ireland.
It is listener's choice on this episode. Listener Omar successfully completed Rob's challenge and therefore he got to pick today's episode, Mortal Kombat (1995).
Today we talk about something a little different because we are so excited about this upcoming service. Disney + If you haven't heard of all the great things that will be on this new streaming service take a listen and find out.
Today we talk about the second installment of many in the NOW music franchise.
It is officially over and we are back to talk about our final thoughts after watching the series finale of Game of Thrones. Did the last episode redeem the season? What do we think about how they decided to end things? Also we talk about some other shows you should check out now that you have more time on your hands.
We're doing a special episode as we head into the series finale of Game of Thrones. This episode covers our thoughts on the whole series but mostly the final season just before the finale comes out. Do we love it? Do we hate? Listen in and find out.
On this episode we can't hardly wait... to tell you what we think of this movie. "Can't Hardly Wait" (1998). What's not to like about this movie, it has Jennifer Love Hewitt! Well, apparently there is a lot that we take issues with. Listen to find out what. Also... this may be our longest episode yet!
On this episode Rob rants about Toto... oh and ya we also talked a little about the TV info-commercial for Cool Rock.
Alright campers, get ready for an exciting time on this episode! We watched a made for TV movie called "Camp Cucamonga" (1990) starring pretty much every young actor on TV at the time, including Jennifer Aniston. Which stars are in this movie...? Listen to find out.
Today we review Time Life Presents - Sounds of the 70's. Will Hooked on a Feeling be enough for Jon to COD? Find out.
On this episode we watch another classic Disney movie, Mary Poppins (1964). Our special guest Not so Silent Bob joins us again to help Rob sing every song from the movie.
Happy 2019 everyone! We're back and we have a special guest with us. Find out if we would COD Now That's What I Call Music Vol. 1.
It's Christmas time, so that means another JR Movies Christmas episode! For our annual holiday episode Rob chose Swiss Family Robinson (1960), a long boring movie about a family that lives in a tree.
Whoops, we had some technical difficulties in the studios. All good everything is fixed now. Enjoy our newest episode where we talk about the info-commercial Poplife.
It's 'Hanks-giving' everyone! On this year's special episode we watched 'You've Got Mail' (1998). We've got a lot to say about this movie so grab yourself a turkey leg, and some other fixin's and settle in.
On this episode we watch Nicolas Cage being very "Nicolas Cagey" in The Rock (1996). One of Michael Bay's better films before he became too obsessed with himself in our opinion, but boy that guy knows how to direct an action sequence.
This episode we review Monster Ballads thanks to a listener request. This is an album both Jon and Rob actually owned, so tune in and find out if they thought it was the COD.
Today we talk about the Sounds of the 80's tv info commercial. Would we buy it? Find out.
We're back with a new episode! We originally tried to watch a bunch of other movies that were unavailable so we finally settled on this gem, Now & Then (1995). It's a story about 4 girls coming of age and eventually becoming the Golden Girls.
We're brining you something new today. We started a new podcast! Episodes will be included here because this way we can force you to listen to it. On this podcast we watch an old music commercial and then decide would we buy it or not. Pretty straight forward.
Well... we did it again, even though we said we wouldn't... we took another prolonged break. And before anyone complains on how long this episode is... you should have seen it before Jon edited it down. Anyways we're back for a new episode, Dazed & Confused (1993). The story about beating and hazing kids, a 'pedo', and just a day in the life of a 70's teen.
We're back again! We got busy again, Jon bought a house and moved, so this episode was lost in the boxes of stuff to unpack. But we finally did it... we watched Willow! We also spent a lot of time talking about the 2018 Oscars, which by now is kind of dumb since it's been like 3 months since they aired.
Rob recently visited the wonderful world that is known as Disney, so we thought it fitting that we watch Aladdin (1992).
It's our first full episode of a new year and to kick it off, we watched the pilot episodes from some classic TGIF shows. Perfect Strangers, Full House, Step by Step, Dinosaurs, Home Improvement, Family Matters, and Boy Meets World.
Episode 62: Star Wars - The Last Jedi by JR Movies
On this episode we watch another Arnold Schwarzenegger film, Last Action Hero (1993). A movie inside of a movie, that has lots of 'meos' and is a play on Hollywood's take of the Action Film genre.
We're back! We know we've kept you waiting and maybe you have forgotten about us. But here we are with a new episode, the 1988 classic Corey duo in action... "License to Drive".
It's been awhile and we know you missed us. To celebrate Rob's birthday we did a special episode with guest 'Not so Silent' Bob and watched Rob's pick... Fateful Findings (2013). I can't tell you what this movie is about because none of us could really figure it out, plus Jon got so bored he stopped paying attention.
We didn't have a whole lot to talk about, so instead Rob teases what movie we are going to watch next so you can prepare yourselves to skip the next episode.
On this episode we watch the best bowling movie ever made... The Big Lebowski (1998)... and apparently Rob has a thing for female cartoon characters.
On this mini-episode we apologize for how bad it sounded while we drank Yoo-hoo and Rob has a correction that goes back to our Twister episode.
On this episode we watch the 1991 Disney classic, Beauty & The Beast. This movie makes no sense in terms of the plot, but it does give us Angela Lansbury signing the theme song, and that is just delightful. Plus you get to hear Rob sing a bunch since it is a musical.
On this mini-episode we rate the movie Twister, because we forgot to on the full episode. But we also try Yoo-Hoo and Crystal Clear Pepsi.
After the passing of the late, great Bill Paxton, we decided to watch his greatest movie... Twister (1996).
Because we know you can't get enough of us... we are proud to announce mini-episodes that contain even more fun bonus content!
It is 2017 and we have our first new episode of the year! What better way to start off 2017 with a movie that reminds us how to be young; Hook (1991).
Happy Holidays everybody... Tis the season to give a Mogwai to a loved one, because they are the cutest damn things. But remember to follow the 3 easy to remember rules. What are they? Well in this episode we will tell you because we watched Gremlins (1984).
Well it's that time of year again, where we all sit down with our loved ones and celebrate "Hanksgiving", our ode to Tom Hanks. Rob picked this movie because not only is it "Hanksgiving", but Jon is getting married and it's that time to celebrate with a party, so we watched Bachelor Party (1984). This movie has it all; Tom Hanks, hookers, and even a donkey.
