We are re-watching films from our childhood to see if they live up! Our childhood was in the 80s-90s, but movie release dates can be outside of that window. In each episode we focus on one movie and will score whether it still lives up to us now that we're adults, and whether it would live up for kids today. It's all very scientific and professional.* *narrator voice* It's actually neither...
Amanda takes a field trip to a recording of legendary news quiz show Wait Wait Don't Tell Me and spills the tea on what the live audience gets to hear!

Amanda's middle school English class meets Francis Ford Coppola's interpretation of Bram Stoker's gothic classic. Yes we both have read the book and yes we had some notes for Mr. Coppola. This is our third 'After Dark' selection where we take a look at the movies we absolutely should not have been watching as kids. You know we had to do one of these for Halloween.

The movie that birthed a franchise and cawabunga'd into our 90s hearts is also our most requested title. Does our love for human-like turtles and yoda-like rats feel as rad as it did when we were kids?
