E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial

You may ask - why are the VCR Kids doing a movie that everyone pretty much knows holds up? The answer: sometimes we just gotta do these silly things to keep Erin happy.

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang

The VCR Kids ·

2021/03/09

A bit more “classic” than a normal VCR Kids pick, but this movie was definitely a big part of at least one of our childhoods. This week, Jay brings the sprawling, whimsical musical Chitty Chitty Bang Bang to the table. Does the union of Ian Fleming and Roald Dahl hold up over 50 years later?

The Secret Garden (1993)

The VCR Kids ·

2021/02/09

Based on a book by the same author as A Little Princess, The Secret Garden has been remade many times. We watched the version that is probably most important to our generation, but what about this story makes it need to be retold over and over? We try and answer that this week on The VCR Kids.

The Mummy

The VCR Kids ·

2021/01/26

The Mummy is a great example of a classic Hollywood epic trying to make it in the age of computer graphics. Can Brendan Frasier save this questionable production? Does it still hold up in 2021?

A Kid in King Arthur's Court

The VCR Kids ·

2021/01/19

Very loosely based on a Mark Twain story, the Rookie of the Year returns to the field. When a freak earthquake forces Calvin Fuller to travel through time, he has to use his wits to help save Camelot. Does this Disney movie hold up? We’ll let you know this week on The VCR Kids!
