The Oscars are a week and a half away! To celebrate, we're talking about 2004's Thunderbirds – a movie made because it was important to Brits a couple of decades ago but had no commercial success in America because no one knew about it. Sound familiar?

And believe it or not, this movie doesn't connect to Better Man, but rather another 2024 movie: The Brutalist. That's right – the child actor who starred in this movie was the creator of one of this year's biggest awards season plays.

We chat about the poor critical and commercial reception of this movie and how Brady got from Tracy Island to focusing on Hungarian architects. And did we mention that Vanessa Hudgens is in this movie, too?

Merry Christmas! For its 20th anniversary, we have one of our most heated discussions on record on 2004's Christmas with the Kranks. AJ and Trevor tap into why this critically maligned Christmas film has since gotten reappraisal – and whether or not that second look has been deserved.

As we celebrate the 150th main feed episode of The Old Kids Movies and celebrate Thanksgiving, we're talking about one of the oldest kids movies ever made – and it's wicked awesome.

Toto, I've got a feeling we're not in the 90s and 2000s anymore.

Thank you all for tuning in to 150 episodes. We'll see you in two weeks for #151.

In two weeks: something very presidential and romantic.

Spooky Season is upon us!

1999's Don't Look Under the Bed is celebrating its 25th anniversary. To commemorate the scariest – and arguably most controversial – DCOM, we break down the pros and cons of the scares, world-building, and presence of Larry Houdini.

Before we get to the film, we spend the first 20 minutes of this episode discussing the state of horror content for kids: where it's at right now, how it peaked in the early 2000s, and how to best introduce kids to scary movies and shows (in our completely unprofessional opinions).
