We Can't Like This Anymore

1994's Richie Rich. Macaulay Culkin IS our childhood. So we had to do this classic Macaulay movie. It may not be Home Alone, but it's still memorable. Will the fun 90s montages be enough to save this movie or is this movie rich in issues and therefore morally bankrupt? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

1988's Big. Trampolines, giant pianos, questionable relationships between a grown woman and man who is intellectually a and emotionally a boy. Awkward. Get ready to start adulting with us and Tom Hanks. Will we trampoline bounce in harmony with this movie or will we give it the bottom bunk? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The episode original set to air 3/24 will now be airing 3/31. Is the reason for this is because Alyssa and Melina duked it out over a movie and ended up in the hospital together? Maybe. Or maybe it's technical issues. Maybe it Maybelline.... Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

2003's The Lizzie Maguire. (Lizzie voice or else it doesn't work) Gordo.....I mean.... what? Rome? Me? There's no way. This episode, we are heading to Rome with the spineless Gordo and the entirely inappropriate Ms. Ungermeyer. Will we determine this movie has aged like our childhood goddess Hilary Duff (ahem... aka very well), or are we feeling a little too much like Margaret Chan? Who knew dreams were made of unrealistic standards and inappropriate relationships? (Well, maybe some of us did). Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

1997's Mouse Hunt. I don't think we're dealing with an ordinary movie. This episode we discuss the Nathan Lane physical comedy Mouse Hunt with all its mouse trappings. Will something from such an innocent time in our lives prove comforting (even if its housing and job security issues sting a little now), or will we find that a movie without social consciousness... is chaos? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

1986's Labyrinth. Who ever thought a movie with Muppets and trolls would lead to so many people's sexual awakening. David Bowie and Jim Henson, that's who. This Jim Henson treasure starring the drop dead gorgeous baby actress Jennifer Connelly and drop dead gorgeous not so baby singer David Bowie wasn't a blowout success when it first came out, but developed into a cult classic, that even today is getting a sequel. The question is, do we want to revisit these complicated feelings watching a 40 year old man call a teen girl a tease, or would we rather just slap this movie and make it pee? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

1997's Romy and Michele's Highschool Reunion. Two brilliant blondes play two not so brilliant blondes in this 90's screwball comedy cult hit. It's seen as a girl-powered Wayne's World of its day, but is it? There are issues. Some sexist, some racist and some.... financial? Does this movie interpretive dance away with our hearts or will we refuse to sign it's yearbook? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

1994's Blank Check. What the world really needs is to visit Blank Check from 1994. We needed it in 1994 and we need it now. Why? Cause this world needs to see an upper middle class white boy named Preston with loving parents and a promising future to just finally see things going his way. And Blank Check delivers. Is this movie valued at a million bucks or will the lip-on-lip action between a 31 and 13 year old bankrupt this movie completely? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

1998's I'll Be Home For Christmas. SANTA! BUZZARDS! TUMBLEED! It's the holidays everybody and we are back for a special episode where we focus on (big surprise) Christmas by looking back at an awkward Christmas Classic Flop. Will JTT and his Ivy League degrees be enough to keep us around or is this movie as disgusting as old ladies with pickle juice? HAPPY HOLIDAYS! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

1995's Casper. Happy Halloween! This episode we move into Whipstaff Manor where a creepy little boy harasses us for friendship and a dead mom has serious attitude problems. Will the warm and fuzzy feelings get the better of us and make us say "Can I Keep You?", or will we decide our business with this movie is finished and say goodbye? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

1996's The Craft. Join our coven as we summon Halloween-week with a movie that made little girls think they might be witches. Is this 90's cult classic filled with issues? Of course. But will the killer soundtrack, wardrobe, and female power vibe be enough to save it from being dragged to cancellation h*ll, or will we be able to bind it, preventing it from doing harm to others and harm to itself? Come be our fourth and have a listen. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

2002's. It's meeeeeee..... We Can't Like This Anymore! This week we dive into peak Rob Schneider and the movie that introduced us to Rachel McAdams. As tweens we loved it. But as adults? Listen to find out if we just love this movie too much to let it go or if it's as pleasant as peeing in our panties. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

1997's Face/Off. Buckle up in your speedboats for this one because in this episode, the gloves and faces are coming off! Can this classic Dad-fav film bring world peace? Possibly. Does it answer the question of if there is a God? Definitely. Cause God (aka John Woo) brought us Face/Off and this episode is the Newest Testament, baby. While there are clearly plot-holes and problems in this movie, will we have enough love for it to keep it, or will it get face-waterfalled? Credit to @heartthrobanderson for the "face-waterfall" description. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

2002's Crossroads. At episode 30, the podcast has hit......a crossroads.... [Dr. Evil laugh]......this episode we ask: was Britney Spear's foray into acting a victory or failure? Is it better to be a girl or a woman? Is anyone going to put another dime in the jukebox? And most of all, are we lucky to have Crossroads in our lives or is this movie simply.... toxic? All we know is... it's Britney, bitch. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

1998's A Bug's Life. They come. They podcast. They leave. Shortly after Toy Story came out and put Pixar on the map, A Bug's Life was released. Is it even possible to find issues in this Disney Pixar classic or is it going to be more perfect than the voice cast of this movie? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

1995's A Goofy Movie. How many podcasters does it take to get to the moon? THREE. This week we explore this beloved classic. Will it prove to be better off left in the 90s or will it... stand out.... from the rest? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

1988's Beetlejuice. In preparing for Beetljuice Beetlejuice coming out Sept 6th 2024, we are diving into Beetlejuice with a baby Winona Ryder and our favorite bad mom, Catherine O'Hara. And of course we must not forget the impeccable Michael Keaton. Will watching this movie feel like waiting at the DMV of Death or will Michael Keaton be able to save it? michaelkeatonmichaelkeatonmichaelkeaton....... I had to try...... Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

2001's The Princess Diaries. This week we are doing The Princess Diaries! SHUT. UP. This early 2000s feel-good film introduced us to Anne Hathaway and reminded us Julie Andrews is still the best. Director Gary Marshall has a history of giving us these cozy classics, but will this one make our foot pop or will it get an ice cream to the face? Either way, thank you for being here today. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

1998's The Waterboy. Mama said this iconic Adam Sandler movie holds a special place in our hearts. All other movies were made by the Devil! Will this one score a touchdown in our playbooks or will we say it reeeealllly sucks. It really really sucks. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

1993's The Sandlot. No other movie can make you crave s'mores like this one. This 90s American classic set in a 1960s small town is a feel good film that basically is A Christmas Story but for the summer. Between 4th of July, town carnivals, baseball, and toxic dads.... what could be more American? Is this movie feel good enough to hit a home run or will it sink in the deep end of the pool before ever getting to assault a teenager? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

2001's Shrek. The movie that changed animation forever. It was considered a dumpster fire of a project to work on at Dreamworks, but it captured the hearts of many tweens and adults alike. With another one on the way, Shrek 5, we revisited where it all began. Will we live happily ever after with this movie or will it grab a lady by the tush (that's bad, that's really really bad). Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

1992's My Cousin Vinny. Is this a fun episode? Yes. Are you suuuuuure? Positive. How can you be so sure? Well, have a listen and find out if we can't let this one go or if its biological clock is TICKING. LIKE. THIS. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

1997's Jungle 2 Jungle. Thanks to this movie, we got Cat Piss. Ahem.... I mean... Mimi-Siku. We can't decide what is scarier, the jungle, the Russian Mob, or the stock market. One thing for sure is there are some laughs to be had in this movie. But in the end, will we want to give it pots and pans, or will it be as worthless as coffee bean shares in the 90s? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

1996's Twister. In anticipation for the new Twisters movie starring Glenn Powell and Daisy Edgar-Jones, we decided to revisit the 1996 OG disaster movie starring Helen Hunt and Bill Paxton (may you RIP sweet angel). Watch the movie and listen to the episode and see how the new movie holds up compared to it. Is it gonna blow us away all over again or will we just end up feeling like spinning cows inserted for dramatic effect? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

1997's George of the Jungle. Brendan is baaaaaaaaaaack. But this time with less clothes, more comedy, and a monkey. This film proved Brendan could carry a film on his own for the first time, as well as our hearts. Will this movie beat our expectations (and its slippery chest), or will it fall face first into a pile of poop? Classic physical comedy. Now we throw our heads back and laugh. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

1996's independence Day. Today we celebrate our Independence Day! Well actually, not today, but Thursday July 4th. We ALSO celebrate Marina's 2nd wedding anniversary. Is this movie going to invade our hearts our minds with joy and fireworks or will it get a punch in the face immediately upon arrival? Welcome to Earth…bitch. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

1999's 10 Things I Hate About You. Is this Shakespearean adaptation of Taming of the Shrew a feminist masterpiece? Or is it too good to be true? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

2000's Love & Basketball. This week's episode, we learn how Monica Wright walked so that Brittney Griner, Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese could run. Just a few years after the WMBA was started, this film came out and we all fell in love, and that shit won't go away. Will our three hosts land three-pointers or is this movie going to be a straight up foul? Let's ask Tyra Banks… Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

1998's The Parent Trap. In this week's episode, The Sisters and The Other Cousin dive into the movie that brought us Lindsay Lohan (we are eternally grateful). This remake of a 1960s Disney classic has a lot of heart, but is it enough for us to stay with it or will this movie get a blowdryer to the face? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

1987's Three Men & A Baby. This episode, your three hosts (& a baby podcast) discuss this beloved Tom Selleck film. Will it stand the test of time or should be say goodnight sweetheart, it's time to go… do-do-dee do-do… Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This episode might suck you in,To danger, trauma, and bad dads within.If you do not listen, just beware,Or face a fate beyond repair. But it's cool, if you don't want to try,It's not like you would actually die.Still, could you please just have a listen.[I deleted the last line I wrote and can't remember what I wrote to rhyme with listen....please send recommendations] Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

2002's A Walk to Remember. Cancer, Christianity, and Clayne Crawford, oh my! Does this Nicholas Sparks love story that introduced us to Shane West and started Mandy Moore's acting career give us all the feels? Or are we ready to punish this movie by forcing it to tutor disadvantaged youths, assist the school janitor, and play the lead in the spring musical? Listen to find out. You just have to promise that you won't fall in love with us… Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

1992's Beethoven. The actors in this movie make this a Best in Show, but is it enough or will all the issues make Beethoven rollover and die? Keep an open mind and make sure not to thtep in the beam. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

1999's The Mummy. You must not open the podcast!!!! Or you may release the 3 plagues of Connecticut, Massachusetts, and California (aka your hosts). In this episode, will we find a movie that deserves a second chance at love or will we be as let down as Anck-Su-Namun? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

1989's Honey, I Shrunk The Kids. Honey, we have some things to talk about with this movie. Honey, Marina's audio sucks cause it accidentally recorded through her computer and not her mic. Honey, forgive her. Honey, enjoy. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

1984's Sixteen Candles. For our Sweet Sixteen (aka, episode 8….), John Hughes is gifting us with lots of racism, misogyny, teen talk, and The Cusacks in this gem from the 80s that might be hard to let go of… or maybe you're ready to cut this movie out like it's Caroline's hair stuck in the door frame. Nice manners, babe. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

1995's Waterworld. This episode if one for the books. Have a listen if you're able to get through it. There's a lot of confusion, stuttering, and just a general state of disarray. This episode is sinking to the bottom of the ocean and we are all going down with Kevin and his catamaran. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

1992's Aladdin. This movie has a cave of wonders worth of issues. BUT will it turn out to be a diamond in the rough? Or will it just be a racist, sexist bad influence on everyone? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

1995's Heavyweights. This movie's appeal is Disney+ size! But there are definitely issues... Does it have enough redeeming qualities to save it? Or will this movie be cancelled…due to lack of hustle…. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

1989's Roadhouse. With the remake of Roadhouse premiering at the SXSW Film Festival, it only seemed right to release our episode talking about the OG Roadhouse, starring the incomparable Patrick Swayze - may he dance in peace. Find out what issues the OG had before checking out the remake on Amazon Prime starring Jake Gyllenhaal on March 21st. This isn't a promo for the movie because if anything we automatically choose Patrick over Jake any and every day. Don't test us. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

1999's Never Been Kissed starring Drew Barrymore and Michael Vartan (Varrr-TAAAAN). Will this movie traumatize its hosts (again?) in a good or a bad way? Can we forgive the notes of… “shmedophilia” due to the fun ensuing wackiness, or is there just no getting around the fact that she lied to a 30-year-old man about not being 17 and her actually being 24 is super gross to him? See if this movie FINALLY gives you that real kiss or if it's staying home from prom with egg on its face. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

1998's Rush Hour starring Chris Tucker and Jackie Chan. Rumor is... there is going to be a Rush Hour 4... if that's the case, filmmakers should really listen to this episode and take into consideration some obvious and some (maybe - but not really) not-so-obvious missteps. Are there any redeemable qualities to this movie, or is it getting kicked to the curb like an awkward middle-school crush? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

1990's Kindergarten Cop starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. Is this movie a policeman or a princess? Will it be able to graduate to the 1st grade, or is it stuck repeating kindergarten for eternity with its egregious missteps? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Welcome to We Can't Like This Anymore, a podcast where we watch and discuss beloved movies from our past that may have not aged well, and we consider breaking up with them. While we may have once loved them, we have grown, and they haven't. We're your hosts, Marina, Melina, and Alyssa, and we review one movie each episode. First, we discuss the honeymoon phase and why we loved the movie in the first place. Then we dive into the uh-oh and oh-no's of it, until by the end, we individually must decide either to continue the relationship, stay and accept its toxicity, or fully say goodbye.In this introductory episode, Marina, Melina & Alyssa discuss who they are, a little about the podcast, and what they hope listeners get from listening to it.
