The Old Kids Movies
AJ Beltis
Revisit millennial kids movies! Trevor Howell and AJ Beltis recount the popular, obscure, and forgotten movies of our childhood, asking ourselves if the movie still holds up, what it would take to release the movie today, and look at where the stars are now.

Happy almost Thanksgiving! To celebrate the history of our nation, we're going back to our roots as New Englanders to do a NEW ENGLAND MOVIE DRAFT! We may be biased, but some of our favorite movies take place in Massachusetts and the like, so we're bringing on two fellow New Englanders to draft some of the best movies that take place in this part of the country to get in touch with our pilgrimy roots.

8 May 2025, 10:00 am - 1 hour 15 minutesBridge to Terabithia
Break out the tissues. We're finally crossing the bridge into 2007 to talk about Disney's Bridge to Terabithia. Josh Hutcherson and AnnaSophia Robb were catapulted into "kid actors who can actually act" stardom with this massive cultural hit for this generation.

For its 20th anniversary, we're talking about 2005's Robots! We ask ourselves what direction Robin Williams was given, what this movie's stance on capitalism is, and what we thought of that highly convoluted public transit system.

1 March 2025, 11:00 am - 1 hour 24 minutesThunderbirds
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 season plays.
We chat about the poor critical and commercial reception of this movie and how Brady got from Tracy Island to focusing on Hungarian architects. And did we mention that Vanessa Hudgens is in this movie, too?
