Ruining Our Childhood
Ruining Our Childhood
Episode 1 - American Pie (1999)
25 MAR 2019 · Welcome to our first ever episode! We dive in straight away with one of Ryan's favorite movies as a teenager, American Pie. We discuss whether this late 90's teen comedy was ever good in the first place or were we blinded by our childhood googles. Most importantly, we decide if this classic hold up to our adult standards.
Episode 2 - Cruel Intentions (1999)
1 APR 2019 · It's time for Ruining Our Childhood's second episode!  We stick to the late 90's, but shift into a more dramatic and seedy classic. We watch Cruel Intentions and discuss if Ashley still has her Ryan Phillippe poster somewhere in storage. Whether it was even okay for a then thirteen year old to be so obsessed with this risqué movie. Who will take home the coveted Valedictorian of Nicholas Cage Online School of Bad Acting award? There are honestly so many choices. As always we answer if this now twenty year old movie (holy crap, its that old) holds up to our adult standards.
Episode 3 - Scream (1996)
8 APR 2019 · What's your favorite scary movie? Well if it's 1996's Scream, you're in luck!  We rewatch this iconic horror film that left some of us scared to answer the phone while home alone at night. We question the logistics of moving dead bodies and remember a time when cell phones (or cellular telephones according to the Woodsboro Sheriff) were suspicious to own. We hand out our not so real awards for the best and worst acting. Who will take away the Thomas J. Hanks award this week? As always, we decide if Scream has what it takes to hold up to our adult standards.
Episode 4 - Heavyweights (1995)
15 APR 2019 · This week we rewatch the children's classic Heavyweights.  We discuss our major camp envy as two 90's kids that never had the opportunity to go. We also talk about how Tony Perkis is really just an early version of Ben Stiller's Dodgeball villain, White Goodman. Of course we hand out some "prestigious" awards and decide if this childhood classic holds up to our adult standards.Â
Episode 5 - Spider-Man (2002)
23 APR 2019 · It's the week we have all been waiting for! Well, most of us MCU loving humans at least. Avengers: Endgame is finally hitting theaters this week and its about damn time! In the spirit of celebrating Marvel films, we take on Sam Raimi's version of everyone's favorite Web-Slinger. 2002's Spider-Man was a super successful film and as Ryan points out is still one of the highest grossing films of all time. Will this early Marvel success stay the same in our hearts? Or are we too spoiled by all of the range that the MCU has given us the last decade?  Listen now to find out!Â
Episode 6 - The Craft (1996)
29 APR 2019 · This week we change things up a bit by watching The Craft.  A film that is one of Ashley's childhood favorites and one that Ryan has never seen!  We discuss the good and bad fashion choices from 1996 and why it seems like every girl goes through at least a little bit of a "witch phase" in junior high.  We disagree on our nominations for the best and worst acting and finally decide if this classic 90's drama holds up to our adult standards! We also give some details on our current GIVEAWAY we are doing for our wonderful listeners! Listen now! Â

Episode 7 - Can't Hardly Wait (1998)
7 MAY 2019 · This week we rewatch Can't Hardly Wait. A 1998 "classic" about love, graduation, and even revenge. We discuss how this film gave our younger selves unrealistic expectations of high school parties. As always we decide if this teen comedy holds up to our adult standards. Don't forget to check out our Facebook or Instagram for details on how to win a $15 Fandango gift card!Â
Episode 8 - Heathers
17 MAY 2019 · This week we rewatch the cult classic Heathers, a dark teen comedy about killing off popular kids. This is our first listener requested movie! Thanks Alexis, friend and listener of the podcast. We discuss all the amazing 80's fashion (holy shoulder pads!), the witty one liners, and how this movie glosses over some big social issues. As always, we decide who deserves the Thomas J. Hanks award and if this favorite holds up with our adult standards.Â
Episode 9 - Cry-Baby (1990)
21 MAY 2019 · This week we take on John Waters' Cry-Baby. A "classic" that was introduced to both of us thanks to the constant replay on the USA Network when we were kids. We discuss how a 12 year old Ashley thought the romance in this movie was realistic and how we are still confused on the exact relationship between Uncle Belvedere (Iggy Pop) and Grandma Ramona. Are they blood related? Or was it just a "this is your 'uncle' but he is really my boyfriend type situation?"  Regardless, we break down this movie in all its weird glory. As always we crown our valedictorian of The Nicolas Cage Online School of Bad Acting and decide if this 90's musical holds up.Â
Episode 10 - William Shakespeare's Romeo + Juliet (1996)
27 MAY 2019 · Its our tenth episode guys! We decide to take on the 1996's Baz Luhrmann classic Romeo + Juliet. A movie that according to Ryan, made Shakespeare just a little easier to understand as a teenager.  Join us as Ashley reminisces about the soundtrack and her big "Leo" obsession growing up. As always we give our top awards to the best and worst actors of the film and decide if this reimagining of a literary giant holds up to our adult standards.Â
