Karl's recording sounds like he's speaking through a tin can, but he reveals the secret of Frog Omens, Mark points out parallels and describes alien anatomy and Sara shares more pictures from the film and rebrands a childhood classic. Enjoy!

Journey to the heart of the jungle as we delve into Disney's Tarzan. Sara Googles on air, makes the case for another life narrator, and points out a pointless tattoo, Karl remembers a sitcom that doesn't exist and describes a better way to do expedition exposition, and Mark mostly takes a backseat as the others "fight" and eats during part of the recording, making weird mouth sounds. Enjoy!

It's our first trilogy! This week we tackle the pee-wee hockey children's classic, The Mighty Ducks. Karl reads all the news that's fit to print, Mark shares his childhood experiences with the Flying V, and Sara offends all of Minnesota. Enjoy!

man of the house, retro, reviews

Mark's pick this week as we look back at Man of the House. No, not the one with the cute cheerleaders, the questionably racist one. Yup, THAT one, it's a hell of a ride. Mark discusses his daily carry habits vis a vis dynamite and debuts an impression of his own, Sara lays down the law for naming Italian characters and tries to make this film less terrible, and Karl unwittingly invents new branding opportunities for JTT and crushes real hard on a character in the film, though not the one you'd guess. All that plus a very special segment, enjoy!

land before time, retro, reviews

This episode we cover The Land Before Time and go over all the nonsense we found while trampling all over Mark's favorite childhood film. Sorry Mark!

You guys, it's Episode 1! Here we give and adult perspective to The Goonies, going in depth into what we forgot about the film, which, turns out, is everything. Join us as we stumble through our format, have a number of audio issues, and record an episode nearly as long as the movie itself. Also, Mark dies during one of the games, but is miraculously recovered by the end, so NBD. Enjoy!

Retrograding is a show about revisiting films we are nostalgic for and seeing if they are as good as we remember. This episode is a quick intro to the show, including a preview for our first episode on Goonies, where we detail everything we can recall about it. Also, we get a lot of things wrong, but that's kinda the point.
