Heavyweights

1995

Liked Watched

An unlikely hotbed of comedic talent, the family-friendly (for the '90s) Heavyweights tickles the funny bone and tugs on the heartstrings as it deliriously subverts live-action Disney tropes.

Listen to our Heavyweights episode here!

The Indian in the Cupboard

1995

Liked Watched

An unusually sensitive kids' movie that's notable for both its visual effects and its verisimilitude. This well-meaning adaptation strives to elevate the cultural discourse of the classic children's book series.

First Kid

1996

Liked Watched

What if the White House was home to a moody, impetuous, loud-mouthed brat who was simultaneously blind to his immense privilege and yet pitiable for his seeming inability to acknowledge his own glaring flaws?

It's difficult to imagine this situation ever being a real-life possibility, so thankfully we have the Sinbad vehicle First Kid to answer that question with heavy doses of improvised schtick and '90s middle school signifiers.

Freddy Got Fingered

2001

Liked Watched

One of the most anarchic studio comedies of all time, representing both the peak of Tom Green's comedic powers and the end of his mainstream relevance. But does the movie deserve its infamy, or did it just arrive too early in the comedy landscape? Throw on your backwards suit and listen to our Freddy Got Fingered episode as we mine this critical flop for precious jewels!
