It’s an old movie that George has never even heard but Joe sure has. He watched it in real time, so you know it’s old, and so is he, but does it still work?

217 Flight of the Navigator 1986

Technically, a child abduction movie but as Disney is the producer the abduction is done for laughs. You see the abductor is an alien spaceship that sounds an awful lot like Pee Wee Herman. Definitel…

215 Teen Wolf 1985

215 Teen Wolf 1985

It’s the movie that launched a sequel, a cartoon, a TV show and a remake. But does that mean it still works? Also, just how many montages can a 90 minute movie have? A lot of them, evidently.

213 Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans Guest Calvin Williams

It’s not a sequel. It’s not a remake. It’s simply another Bad Lieutenant but this time he’s in New Orleans and he is Nicolas Cage. Does that make it better or worse?
