The VCR Kids
Nostalgia
This is Jay, Erin, and Richard, and we're The VCR Kids! We watch movies from our childhood and see if they still hold up. Every week we take a movie we loved (or maybe just watched) as a child and submit it for review to our adult brains. We also have special episodes on Pretentious Picks, and our Harry Potter Virgin series where we force our friend Andrew to watch all the movies. Subscribe to the show and tell your friends! Shoot us a line on social media @TheVCRKids, we'd love to hear from you!

Episodes
Lake Placid
3/15/2022
Did you know this movie actually has nothing to do with the actual Lake Placid? Neither did we, until we watched it. Whatever you do, please don't take the animal "facts" in this movie to heart.

The Matrix
1/25/2022
We’ve watched a lot of movies that have had a big impact on culture, but maybe none more than this one. With the release of the fourth Matrix movie, we all kind of wanted to revisit the original. Does this 1999 classic hold up in 2022, or is it a relic of its time? Find out what we think this week on The VCR Kids!

Dinosaur
1/11/2022
Over 20 years ago, Disney tried to experiment with computer animation in a way no one had ever seen before. With a huge marketing budget, tons of dinosaur toys at McDonalds, and a ride at a Disney theme park, does Dinosaur still hold up? We watched the much-forgotten “classic” and we’ll let you know our thoughts this week on The VCR Kids.

Dirty Work
12/7/2021
In memory of the late great Norm McDonald, we decided to watch a movie that made a big imprint on Richard - Dirty Work. Does this cameo-loaded, Danny-Tanner-directed 90’s cult classic hold up?

Interview With the Vampire
10/26/2021
Please forgive me, because I kept calling this Interview With A Vampire, when it is in fact Interview With THE Vampire. Anyway, we millennials give Twilight a lot of crap, but if you want to see some REAL smoldering vampires, check out this movie with Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise, and Antonio Banderas!

Stay Tuned

Richard brings a John Ritter movie to the table, but none of the other VCR Kids have heard of it. Will this classic he held dear stand the test of time, or will he still have his nostaliagoggles (TM) on?

Zoolander
7/6/2021
A little later than most VCR Kids movies, but this definitely came out on VHS AND passed the 20 year mark this year. Does the often-quoted Zoolander hold up? And will Erin and Richard enjoy their first viewing of Blue Steel?
