Movie Nights at Home

It was fun doing this podcast, but sadly, it has run its course. You will still get to find all of our ideas for recipes and different themes for your movie nights at home on our website www.movienightsathome.com.  HIGHLIGHTS FROM THIS WEEK'S SHOW: Don't forget to subscribe to our weekly newsletter for new ideas each week and find something easy to do with your friends or family. By the way, we did watch all the movies we promised we would watch from last week's “dare to watch” episode.  Jake watched Lilo & Stitch and thought it came out at the wrong time for a traditional, animated movie because he thought it was better than 90% of the Pixar movies that came out. Kalee watched Baby Driver and she liked it – and the music was her favorite part! Kim watched Bottle Shock starring Chris Pine which was based on a true story, and she enjoyed it as well.

This is a fun episode where we are challenging each other to watch movies we haven't seen. It's a great game you can do with your family and friends too! What movies would you dare your friends to watch? What movies would you dare us to watch? HIGHLIGHTS FROM THIS WEEK'S SHOW: To give you a visual of how this works exactly, each one of us will get a name and then we will suggest a movie for that person that they have not seen.  Then throughout the week, we have to watch the movie suggested, whether together or alone, which we will then discuss in the next episode. Jake dares Kalee to watch Baby Driver, Kim dares Jake to watch Lilo & Stitch, and Kalee dares Kim to watch Bottle Shock. If you have any suggestions for a movie we have not seen, send them to team@movienightsathome.com or drop us a message on social media.

In our previous episode, we tried to determine the best Disney movie of all time. But a couple of things happened. And so, we decided not to reveal the winner because we realized we needed to refine the category and put out some better criteria. HIGHLIGHTS FROM THIS WEEK'S SHOW: Two of our listeners actually got upset that Cars and Finding Nemo were not on our list.  Jake loves The Incredibles. It's a great movie, but for him, it doesn't make it to the list of all-time best Disney movies. Yup, we admit Finding Nemo may have been a miss on our part! What's so special about Disney is that wherever you are in your life, a story can just hit you that it will forever be your favorite movie. Next time, if we're going to do Disney movies, we will make sure to drill it down to a specific category like best Disney princess, best Disney guy movie, or whatever it is. Be sure to keep your emotions out when you vote to make sure you're doing it objectively. RESOURCES:  "As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.

In this episode, we talk about the best Disney movie and just like what we did the last time, you get to vote which is the best out of our Top 6! How it works: Each of us gets three picks. Once all the picks are in, each one of us will get to veto one movie which we think is not a strong contender, leading up to our final list of six.  Don't forget to vote, you guys! HIGHLIGHTS FROM THIS WEEK'S SHOW: Jake's picks: The Lion King, Toy Story, The Jungle Book Kalee's picks: Aladdin, Lilo & Stitch, The Little Mermaid Kim's picks: Beauty and the Beast, Sleeping Beauty, Frozen (the first one) Toy Story popularized a whole new style of animation that did away with 2D animation. It's also funny how the longer you watch Toy Story, the characters start looking like their voice counterparts.  We've got some honorable mentions too! (Monsters, Inc., 101 Dalmatians, Cinderella, Lady and the Tramp, Bambi, Dumbo, Pinocchio, and we could go on and on!)

In our last episode, we gave you our list of six rom-com movies so you can vote for which you think is the best.

Kalee would have picked When Harry Met Sally. Guys, if you haven't seen The Proposal, then you've got to watch it. It's a must-see rom-com that you're not going to regret. While you're at it, you have to watch This Means War as well. RESOURCES:  "As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.

Today, we're talking about our best and worst theater experiences. While we had our fair share of the best and most magical theater experiences, we also had quite a taste of our worst experiences – ever – which is one of the reasons we don't want to go back to the theaters anymore and we much rather prefer doing movie nights at home.  HIGHLIGHTS FROM THIS WEEK'S SHOW: Being able to go to these unique, classical, or retro theaters just adds to the overall experience.  There's something magical about watching a movie in a drive-in theater while seeing a shooting star and enjoying a box of pizza with your loved ones and your dogs. Imagine a person in front of your seat who keeps belching or someone who previously watched the movie spewing out spoilers the entire time. You never want to sit beside these kinds of people for sure! Recliners inside movie theaters don't work because people come in and they will only make themselves at home. And so, they just don't work – period. We saw Harry Potter Part 2 at least five times. It was the experience and the movie itself. Kim and Kalee and all four generations of them went to see Titanic. Lesson learned: If you're seeing a popular movie, always ask how many tickets are left. And go with more flexible people who are willing to go for the next screening time, unless you're okay sitting in the front row. RESOURCES:  "As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

What better way to start the year than watching some must-watch movie sequels! Is there a movie that you think is better than the original? This week, we talk about the best movie sequels – ever! And if you haven't watched some of these, these are great movie ideas worth putting on your list. HIGHLIGHTS FROM THIS WEEK'S SHOW: Kalee loves ​​The Godfather Part II (Don't forget about setting up a Godfather-themed movie night at home as well!). Her other picks are Guardians of the Galaxy (the soundtrack is awesome too!), 22 Jump Street, Rocky III, and The Amazing Spider-Man 2. Kim's top picks: National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation 2, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Deadpool 2, Wonder Woman 2. Jake's picks are The Empire Strikes Back (It's also the movie that made Darth Vader the icon that he is), Hugh Jackman's Logan, Terminator 2, and Rocky IV. If you have never seen Wonder Woman and you want to see it, go in and realize that Iron Man, Captain America, and Thor are not in this movie. Go into it with an open mind and you will really enjoy it! Don't compare it to Marvel and even the other DC movies, and just let it be.

Today, we're going to talk about Christmas movies that we “hate”...or maybe that's too strong of a word – so let's use…“dislike.” While we love the people who play the characters in many of these movies, sometimes some things just don't work well together.  HIGHLIGHTS FROM THIS WEEK'S SHOW: What is the one item you have to have in your Christmas stocking? Why we didn't really dig Miracle on 34th Street (1947)  There were a lot of things in A Christmas Story that we just didn't get.  People loved “How the Grinch Stole Christmas” but we thought the movie was just too long and it just felt forced. Other movies that don't work for us: Arnold Schwarzenegger's “Jingle All the Way,” Will Ferrell's “Elf,” and the 1954 movie “White Christmas” “The Family Stone” and ”Love the Coopers” are sad Christmas movies that don't work for us either.

In this episode, we're sharing some of our favorite ideas for a classic Christmas movie. And when it's Christmas time, all roads lead back to the McCallisters.  HIGHLIGHTS FROM THIS WEEK'S SHOW: The weirdest dishes at a family gathering: fruitcake and deviled eggs Wondering what Kevin's dad did for a living? Jake says to watch The Sopranos and you'll know what he did for a living. Macaulay Culkin's aftershave scene was just iconic!

Last week, we talked about our list of best Christmas movies, and we purposely left off the 2008 movie, Four Christmases. It's one of those movies we feel most people haven't seen and don't know about it. Here's why you might wanna look it up some time! HIGHLIGHTS FROM THIS WEEK'S SHOW: Which Christmas movie character are we most likely Basically, Kate (Reese Witherspoon) and Brad (Vince Vaughn) can't get out of visiting four houses in one day; hence, the Four Christmases.  House #1: Brad's dad (Robert Duvall) – this was our favorite house! House #2: Kate's mom (Mary Steenburgen) – many funny scenes except for one long scene which we thought was completely unnecessary. The nativity play scene is just hilarious! House #3: Brad's mom (Sissy Spacek) – her boyfriend was Vince Vaughn's best friend growing up. This is where Brad just completely shut down. House #4: Kate's dad (Jon Voight) – everything in this house was okay but there's a part that just makes Jake cringe each time he watches it!

This week, we're talking about our favorite Christmas movies – old and new. Find out which 1946 Christmas movie classic is on our list and why Batman Returns is actually a Christmas movie! We're also giving you this week's homework: be sure to watch Four Christmases with Vince Vaughn and Reese Witherspoon. We purposely left that off our list today because that's what we're going to talk about next week. HIGHLIGHTS FROM THIS WEEK'S SHOW: Movies or TV shows that signal the Christmas season for us  Jake says if National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation is not #1 on your list of Best Christmas movies, then you need to reevaluate your list. We love the Christmas classics such as It's a Wonderful Life and The Bishop's Wife.  Some of our best picks include The Holiday, Love Actually, The Christmas Chronicles, Tim Allen's The Santa Clause, Home Alone, Fred Claus, Elf, and Mickey's Christmas Carol There are so many versions of A Christmas Carol out there, but we like Scrooged with Bill Murray in it.  Batman Returns is a Christmas movie.

Do you love to bake, drink hot chocolate, and watch Hallmark Christmas Movies? If so – you know the Countdown to Christmas movies has already started!  We are all about it, but we have to admit – the plots are a running joke in the house.  HIGHLIGHTS FROM THIS WEEK'S SHOW: We're no stranger to Hallmark movies — especially at Christmas! There are basically only five plots for Hallmark movies and lots of classic cliches. How to know you've watched too many Hallmark movies Why are Hallmark movies strangely addicting?

Thanksgiving movies are not as prevalent as Christmas movies because Thanksgiving often gets overlooked. But we're not going to overlook it tonight! In this episode, we're talking about the movies we like to watch around Thanksgiving or movies that have something to do with Thanksgiving.  HIGHLIGHTS FROM THIS WEEK'S SHOW: Planes, Trains, and Automobiles starring Steve Martin and John Candy We randomly pick a Harry Potter movie for Thanksgiving. But if you've never done it, watch Harry Potter 1 because there's a good Christmas scene in it. And they're all still little so it feels more nostalgic. Other movies you can watch for Thanksgiving: The Lord of the Rings series, The Holiday, When Harry Met Sally, Dutch, Sweet Home Alabama The Last Waltz takes place on Thanksgiving but it doesn't necessarily have to do anything with Thanksgiving. It's easy music directed by Martin Scorsese. RESOURCES:  "As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

What would a movie be without music? In this episode, we talk about our favorite movie soundtracks, which can either make or break a movie. If it's done right, it can definitely add to the scene and elevate your entire movie experience. But if it's done wrong, it can very much ruin it. We're also sharing our favorite movie scores that have surely played on our heartstrings! HIGHLIGHTS FROM THIS WEEK'S SHOW: The Big Chill's soundtrack is even better than the movie! Love Actually – Emma Thomspon's scene with Joni Mitchell's Both Sides Now playing was just heartbreaking) and Bill's Christmas Is All-Around is fun as well! You can't beat John Williams. His musical score for Harry Potter just takes you back to the feeling. They connected all this stuff together with all the music throughout to hit that emotion. (He did the score for Star Wars too.) Danny Elfman's musical scores are just as good. Think all Tim Burton movies. (He also did the score for Desperate Housewives) Here are our other top movie soundtracks: Urban Cowboy, Nicholas Sparks' A Walk to Remember, Grease, Elizabethtown, When Harry Met Sally, City of Angels, Titanic, Dirty Dancing, Deadpool, Guardians of the Galaxy, Purple Rain, A Star is Born – and we could keep going!

What movie would you just watch over and over again? For Jake, it's Ghosts of Girlfriends Past, Kim's pick is Just Go With It, and Kalee's is You've Got Mail. But today, we're going to be talking about movies that have let us down and have burned us! HIGHLIGHTS FROM THIS WEEK'S SHOW: The second of the Star Wars trilogy, The Last Jedi, just let Jake down. This movie had a new director and they just ruined the characterizations of most characters. Why we think the Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life was the worst mini-series ever! Kalee hates My Bestfriend's Wedding. Why did Julia Roberts' character made her cringe? Kim's pick is Message in a Bottle. She didn't realize Nicholas Sparks has this pattern. The first two releases of the The Godfather were perfect, but we didn't like the third one. (Check out our The Godfather movie night theme as well as our recipe for Clemenza's spaghetti.)  Why The Suicide Squad (the second one) didn't blow Kim away. Now, Jake explains why he thinks superheroes movies should be “the weirder, the better” Other movies that just burned us: Hanging Up, City of Angels, Donnie Darko (why Jake thinks it's the worst movie ever made), All About Steve, Kate and Leo's movie reunion Revolutionary Road, and The Shape of Water.

In this episode, we talk about our favorite sports movies. And what better way to enjoy movie nights at home than with some sports-themed snacks to complete your movie experience! HIGHLIGHTS FROM THIS WEEK'S SHOW: Why Jake and Kim prefer to watch a game at home Here are our favorite picks: The Blind Side, Major League, The Longest Yard, Karate Kid, Robert Redford's The Natural, Little Giants, The Sandlot and Hardball. Kim thinks the Friday Night Lights series is a must-watch! It was much better than the movie though. The Rocky is a classic! Or there would be no Creed without it (which is a great movie as well!) Jake thinks Varsity Blues is a quick and mindless movie but he likes it because some of its themes just hit home. Find out why the Field of Dreams is more than just a sports movie for him!

All scary movies/horror movies have certain cliches that everyone knows. Today, we're sharing the most memorable ones for us. We also recently watched the original Halloween movie from 1978 (and the remakes) and we're sharing what we think of it and why you should watch it on Halloween. Oh! And we also talk about what we think of Disney's cult classic, Hocus Pocus. Is it worth watching it? (Jake doesn't think so!) HIGHLIGHTS FROM THIS WEEK'S SHOW: Some common horror/slasher movie cliches: Leaving a vehicle with a running engine to get away Why the antagonists are always picking the young, half-naked girls After everybody is dead, the only person who lives in every slasher movie is the pure and innocent girl. Texas Chainsaw Massacre as the first slasher movie Where the mask from the Halloween movie came from Haven't watched Hocus Pocus yet? Watch Halloweentown instead.

Love Halloween? In this episode, we're sharing a list of our top Halloween movies. Whether you choose outdoor or indoor, the cool thing about it is you can pretty much make anywhere spooky.  And sometimes, it's not really about the movie being great or super scary – but it's the whole experience of it, especially when you're watching it with friends and loved ones! HIGHLIGHTS FROM THIS WEEK'S SHOW: Sharing our favorite Halloween costumes growing up: Jake as Beavis, Kalee as a black cat, and Kim as an alien head (her best yet her worst costume too!) Our Halloween movie picks: Coraline, Casper, Halloween, White Noise, Halloweentown Johnny Depp and Tim Burton collaborations: Dark Shadows, Sleepy Hollow, Sweeney Todd, Edward Scissorhands, The Nightmare Before Christmas, and more! Other picks: The Lost Boys, Interview with the Vampire, I Know What You Did Last Summer Let Me In is a remake of a Swedish film. If you want a movie that's got depth to it and puts you in the environment you're in, then this is it! We actually watch The Shining together each year and there are always things we had to debate on. If you've watched it, let us know what you think: Was Jack always the caretaker?  You've got to watch M. Night Shyamalan's The Sixth Sense if you haven't yet! Jake highly recommends Hereditary (but not for the kids!) but ​​Paranormal Activity 1 and Paranormal Activity 3 have scared him more than any movie he has ever seen in his life.

In this episode, we're talking about movies that are best for outdoors so you can create the perfect movie night experience you could enjoy with your family and friends. Think outdoor movie theater – a projector, speakers, plus a fire pit and S'mores! Don't you think some movies are just way better when they're watched outside?  HIGHLIGHTS FROM THIS WEEK'S SHOW: A couple of picks: Palm Springs (not for kids), The Handmaid's Tale & Nomadland Some equipment you need to complete your experience (projector, speakers, lantern, heat lamps, etc.) You can't have a movie night without food! But you have to know your audience first (so you know whether you could bring out the booze) Consider the movie time. An hour and a half should be tops. You don't want to watch The Godfather outdoors. Think about the theme you want to go for (ex. Drive-in theme, Hawaiian movie night, Halloween, Fourth of July, etc.). Make it even more fun by interlacing themes. Other movie picks: The Sandlot, The Goonies, Back to the Future, Jumanji, Ferris Bueller's Day Off,  Check out our full menu and party ideas for The Karate Kid movie night RESOURCES:  "As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.
