Three sisters who were raised with NO CABLE TV (gasp) up in the 80's - early 00's discuss the vintage movies that they watched over and over together while they were growing up!
Starring Jane Powell, Debbie Reynolds, and Ricardo Montalban (KAHHHHN), this musical was hard to find a copy of, but we really enjoyed the rewatch!
"I was born on the side of a hill..." This week's episode is about Bringing Up Baby! A sleeper hit from a bygone age. ENJOY!
We're BACK after a break with Hocus Pocus... a movie that we did NOT watch as kids! Welcome to the first #NFK (Not For Kids) episode! Guest starring Pauline from No Redeeming Feature?
One of the best of the best. Will we stay on topic? Not bloody likely... mahahah. Enjoy!
Angela is a treasure and it's trailer time on this episode!
We went a little off the rails with this one, but a good discussion was had, nonetheless! Join us in our thoughts and ruminations on Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, a made-for-tv movie starring Keshia Knight Pulliam, René Auberjonois, Hugo E. Blick, & Michael Gross! And no... we don't ever solve the mystery of where we got this movie from during our childhoods... Recap music this episode is The Rosalie by Cy Curnin
This week, we're going back to the ORIGINAL with The Parent Trap, starring Hayley Mills! Which Parent Trap do you think will reign supreme? This one... or the remake that we covered last week? This week's Recap Time Song is Mouse in My Martini by Global Genuis

They'll be diving into the world of the UNDER 5% on Rotten Tomatoes for the first season, searching high and low for some redeemable bad movies...
It's our LAST episode of Season One, everyone! And we're taking a look back on what it was like to put it all together. What did we think it was going to be like going into this? What moments really stood out to us as the episodes were finished up? What are our thoughts moving forward? Was it wise for Emily and Laura to have a glass (or two) of wine while recording this? These are the questions we ask ourselves. Next week's episode will be the teaser for "No Redeeming Feature?" a podcast that Emily is doing this summer with Pauline (who we're pretty sure she mentioned EVERY episode already), so stay tuned for that. We will be back in the fall with more Kindred Features though, so check back with us then! The music for today's episode is Nobel Wine by The Poison Oaks... for no particular reason...
SUPRISE! It's a BONUS episode, where we finally get to meet the elusive brother... Jeff! His choice for favorite childhood movie to review was Wind in the Willows directed by directed by Arthur Rankin, Jr. and Jules Bass. It is an adaptation of Kenneth Grahame's 1908 novel The Wind in the Willows. Set in a pastoral version of England, the film focuses on four anthropomorphized animal characters (Moley, Ratty, Mr. Toad, and Mr. Badger) and contains themes of mysticism, adventure, morality, and camaraderie. The film features the voices of Charles Nelson Reilly, Roddy McDowall, José Ferrer, and Eddie Bracken. The screenplay was written by Romeo Muller. 1 The music for this episode is Simpler Times by Man DeLorean. 1 Wikipedia

This week's episode is a light and fluffy musical called Royal Wedding, a 1951 Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer musical comedy film starring Fred Astaire and Jane Powell, with music by Burton Lane and lyrics by Alan Jay Lerner.
