In this episode of All2ReelToo's ALL2 DISNEY REVIEW, we're revisiting the ‘90s family comedy First Kid—but this isn't just a nostalgic watch. We break down the film's story of a former boxer-turned-Secret Service agent tasked with protecting the President's rebellious son… a job that quickly turns into chaos, comedy, and unexpected heart. From pranks to life lessons, it's a classic setup with that signature Disney charm. But we also go deeper—because revisiting this movie today comes with a more complicated lens. We address the real-world controversies and troubling connections tied to some of the film's cast, including links to figures like Jeffrey Epstein, as well as allegations involving sexual assault and domestic violence. Listener discretion is advised for this episode. You may want to skip it if this triggers you emotionally. Starring Sinbad, Brock Pierce, Robert Guillaume, Timothy Busfield, Zachery Ty Bryan, Bill Cobbs, and featuring appearances by Sonny Bono and Bill Clinton.

Step into the dojo of ‘90s nostalgia as All2ReelToo's So Bad They're Good series kicks into high gear with a look at Sidekicks (1992)! This cult classic follows Barry Gabrewski, a bullied teen with a wild imagination and one ultimate dream—to become the sidekick to martial arts legend Chuck Norris. When fantasy starts to collide with reality, Barry takes matters into his own hands, training in martial arts to find confidence, courage, and maybe even his own spotlight. Starring Jonathan Brandis, Beau Bridges, Mako, Joe Piscopo, and Danica McKellar—with Chuck Norris playing himself—this episode dives into the film's blend of fantasy sequences, heartfelt moments, and gloriously cheesy action. Is it inspiring? Is it ridiculous? Is it both? We break down everything that makes Sidekicks a perfectly imperfect gem in the “so bad it's good” hall of fame. #All2ReelToo #SoBadItsGood #Sidekicks1992 #ChuckNorris #90sMovies #CultClassics #MartialArtsMovies #MoviePodcast #FilmReview #Nostalgia #BadMoviesGoodFun Listen now: all2reeltoo.com

In this episode of All2ReelToo's SO BAD THEY'RE GOOD series, we bravely venture into the bizarre family-fantasy fever dream that is Gooby (2009). When 11-year-old Willy is struggling through a rough patch, his childhood toy springs to life—literally. Enter Gooby: a six-foot-tall, furry, imaginary(?) monster who crashes into reality to help Willy cope… whether anyone asked for that help or not. What follows is a wildly strange mix of heart, confusion, and unintentionally hilarious moments that must be seen (and discussed) to be believed. We break down the plot, the performances, and the many “choices” this movie makes—asking the important question: is Gooby a misunderstood family film, or a hall-of-fame entry in so-bad-they're-good cinema? Starring: Robbie Coltrane as Gooby (voice) David James Elliott as Jack Dandridge Ingrid Kavelaars as Elize Dandridge Matthew Knight as Willy Dandridge Eugene Levy as Mr. Nerdlinger Mary Haney as Mrs. Williams Len Doncheff as Mr. Ogilvey Paula Boudreau as Mrs. Deacon Elle Downs as Mrs. Donnelly Ricky Hegarty as Colin Alexander Conti as Eric Luke Bilyk as Cute Kid Jack Duffy as Grocery Store Manager Daniel DeSanto as Crane Avery Bisbee as Little Girl

NAD is having a major moment — from IV drips and supplements to wellness clinics and now skincare. But is the science real, or is it just the next CBD? In this episode, Dr. Mary Alice Mina sits down with Melisse Shaban, CEO of Aramore and veteran beauty executive (Revlon, Aveda, The Beauty Shop), to break down exactly what NAD is, why your skin cells need it, and whether the new wave of NAD skincare products is worth your money. They dig into the cellular biology of aging skin, why most moisturizers are just sitting on the surface, and what it actually takes for an ingredient to penetrate to the basal layer where the real work happens. Melisse also shares how Harvard and MIT research led to Aramore's formulation, how to spot faux players in the NAD skincare space, and why she believes NAD precursors, retinol, and sunscreen are the only three non-negotiables in any skincare routine. The conversation takes a fascinating turn into the future of beauty — from pharma's growing role in skincare to GLP-1s, inflammation management, and what's really next for aging women. Plus: a candid, unexpected conversation about death, dignity, and the industry no one is building yet.

In this episode of All2ReelToo's PILOT ERROR Review Series, we dig up a true TV time capsule — the un-aired 1996 UPN pilot Black at Ya. Created by Rusty Cundieff, this ambitious sketch comedy pilot pulled back the curtain on the chaos of trying to produce a “Black” comedy show for a mainstream network audience. Sharp, self-aware, and ahead of its time, Black at Ya tackled industry politics, cultural expectations, and the fine line between satire and reality — all while trying to get laughs. We also spotlight the cast, including John O'Hurley, Mark Christopher Lawrence, and Justin Kirk, and break down why this pilot never made it to series. Was it too bold? Too meta? Too real for 1996? Join us as we revisit this forgotten piece of television history, explore what worked, what didn't, and ask the ultimate question: would it survive in today's TV landscape?

In this special bonus episode of All2ReelToo, we pay tribute to the late James Van Der Beek, who sadly passed away at just 48. To celebrate his legacy, we rewind to where it all began — the unforgettable pilot of Dawson's Creek. Welcome to the picturesque coastal town of Capeside, Massachusetts — where movie dreams, first loves, and complicated friendships collide. At the center is aspiring filmmaker Dawson Leery (Van Der Beek), a 15-year-old cinephile scripting his own coming-of-age story alongside his lifelong best friends: the fiercely loyal Joey Potter and class clown with hidden depth, Pacey Witter. But life imitates drama when sophisticated New York transplant Jen Lindley moves in next door, instantly captivating Dawson and stirring unexpected jealousy in Joey. As friendships are tested during a tense movie night, sparks also fly elsewhere — Pacey finds himself drawn to the mysterious Tamara Jacobs… who just happens to be the new English teacher at Capeside High. Add in Dawson's rejection from the school's film class, and suddenly sophomore year is shaping up to be anything but ordinary. We break down the iconic moments, the unforgettable ‘90s vibes, and the performances that launched careers — including: Michelle Williams as Jen Lindley Joshua Jackson as Pacey Witter Katie Holmes as Joey Potter Mary-Margaret Humes as Gale Leery John Wesley Shipp as Mitch Leery Mary Beth Peil as Evelyn Ryan Nina Repeta as Bessie Potter With memorable supporting turns by Leann Hunley as Tamara Jacobs and others who helped shape the world of Capeside. Join us as we revisit the pilot that defined a generation, launched careers, and gave us one of television's most heartfelt teen dramas.
