Flix with My Family

Grease with Cousin Maria

Our seventh episode features our first musical and the oldest movie we have reviewed yet, Grease! Our special guest, Maria, reminisces about her first time seeing the movie and how different it is to watch it through the eyes of a young teenager today. Will the catchy songs and flashy outfits be enough to win over Layla? Listen to this one for hot takes on full grown adults cosplaying as teenagers, "cool" smoking, and Travolta's tough guy walk.

Ace Ventura: Pet Detective with Uncle Mark and Uncle Allen

In our sixth episode, we watch the movie that introduced Jim Carrey to the world as a ridiculous, obnoxious, over-the-top pet detective--whatever that is. 1994 was an epic year for Jim Carrey; he released Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, The Mask, and Dumb and Dumber. That was an entertaining year for teenage boys! Bobby, Mark, and Allen are definitely the target audience for this flick, but listen in to see if Layla appreciates slapstick comedy as much as they do and to see how this movie holds up thirty two years after its premiere.

Armageddon with Mom (and the first Joepisode!)

Our fifth episode was inspired by our family's awe of the Artemis II Mission. To the disappointment of NASA, we watched the wildly inaccurate and highly entertaining movie, Armageddon. This 1998 smash hit made us all laugh, cry, and sing. Listen to hear the whole family's take on how Bruce Willis saved the world.

The Fugitive with Oliver and Uncle Mark

In our fourth episode, we get the chance to talk to Uncle Mark again and we introduce one of Layla's best friends, Oliver. Listen in to see if The Fugitive holds up in the eyes of middle schoolers and for a couple of dam puns!

Baby Driver with Uncle Allen

In our third episode, Bobby and his youngest brother, Allen, introduce Layla to one of their favorite movies, Baby Driver. This one has everything: great music, bank robberies, car chases, and young love! Tune in to hear their insights on this 2017 banger that you may have missed!
