//podcastplus.net/feed/the-vcr-kids~bb035a72 This is Jay, Erin, and Richard, and we're The VCR Kids! We watch movies from our childhood and see if they still hold up. Every week we take a movie we loved (or maybe just watched) as a child and submit it for review to our adult brains. We also have special episodes on Pretentious Picks, and our Harry Potter Virgin series where we force our friend Andrew to watch all the movies. Subscribe to the show and tell your friends! Shoot us a line on social media @TheVCRKids, we'd love to hear from you!

Neither did we, until we watched it. Whatever you do, please don't take the animal "facts" in this movie to heart. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/thevcrkids/message Tue, 15 Mar 2022 04:00:00 +0000 https://anchor.fm/s/6ef1ae78/podcast/play/48993411/sponsor/a6ti34q/https%3A%2F%2Fd3ctxlq1ktw2nl.cloudfront.net%2Fproduction%2Fexports%2F6ef1ae78%2F48993411%2F246d8a88542a8f341df72fc6ef77d0ce.m4a https://chtbl.com/track/83CCAG/traffic.libsyn.com/secure/thevcrkids/Young_Frankenstein.mp3?dest-id=655972 A commonly quoted movie in one of our childhood homes, can you guess who picked the Mel Brooks and Gene Wilder horror spoof?
