A Farewell to DCOMs – The Scream Team, Stuck in the...

The Old Kids Movies ·

2026/09/29

What was intended as a DCOM Power Hour turned into a power two hours as we cover our (potentially) last Disney Channel Original Movies ever on The Old Kids Movies. In this episode, we talk about how we – as two 30+ year old men – just don't see DCOMs the way we used to, and while we cherish the role they had in our lives and on this show, it's time to bid them farewell on this podcast. To send the DCOM off properly, we cover four different original movies from Disney Channel ...

Billy Madison

2026/08/27

Time to go back to school! We're revisiting 1995's Billy Madison to talk about Sandler's role in our childhoods as a gateway to PG-13 comedies and how we look at his talents now.

Boyhood

The Old Kids Movies ·

2026/07/30

It's the twelve-year anniversary of Boyhood! Not exactly an old kids movie, but there's no way we could let this movie's milestone anniversary pass without discussing it. Mason graduated high school the year between Trevor and AJ – and this movie perfectly captures so much of what we experienced as Millennial/Gen-Z cusps. Join us as we revisit the Oregon Trail, Cobra Starship, FaceTime, the Telephone music video, and squash as we celebrate growing up, childhood, and 12 years of Boyhood....

Hook

2026/06/25

It's time to remember..."Hook" for its 35th anniversary. AJ was too scared of Dustin Hoffman to watch it as a kid, but Trevor has a lot of appreciation for it and the lore of Peter Pan.

The Stupids

The Old Kids Movies ·

2026/05/21

It's the 30th anniversary year of 1996's The Stupids! It was Trevor's first watch, and he thinks the title matches the quality of this John Landis flick. AJ, however, genuinely sees it as a secret masterpiece and came to appreciate it through multiple viewings in childhood. Follow and support the show and the hosts!

Thunderbirds (Starring Brady Corbet of 'The Brutalist')

The Old Kids Movies ·

2025/02/20

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 sea...
