    Labor Day and Dolly Parton Tribute Bonus Episode: 9 to 5 (1980)

    WORKING 9 TO 5… WHAT A WAY TO MAKE A LIVING! For our Labor Day Special, Steve and Megan are punching the clock and heading back to 1980 to revisit the workplace comedy 9 to 5, starring Dolly Parton, Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin, and Dabney Coleman. Welcome to Consolidated Companies, where Franklin Hart Jr. is the kind of boss who makes you wonder whether getting fired might actually be a promotion. After Violet, Judy, and Doralee finally reach their breaking point, a little after-work bonding turns into revenge fantasies, an accidental poisoning, a stolen corpse, a kidnapping—and eventually one of the most unusual workplace revolutions in movie history. In this episode, we're talking about the Good, the Bad & the Ugly of 9 to 5, Dolly's scene-stealing movie debut, the incredible chemistry between the three leads, Hart's spectacular awfulness, those wonderfully bizarre revenge fantasies, and whether the movie's workplace commentary still feels relevant more than 45 years later. Plus, we'll fire up The Way Back Machine for a trip to 1980, dig into History & Fun Facts, consider a few candidates for Nostalgia Amnesty, and finally deliver Our Verdict: 🟢 CHILDHOOD SAVED? 🟡 CHILDHOOD SURVIVED? 🔴 CHILDHOOD RUINED? And because it's Labor Day, we're asking the important workplace question: If you could implement ONE of Violet, Judy, and Doralee's workplace reforms at your job tomorrow, which one would you choose? 👇 Tell us in the comments—and while you're there, tell us your favorite Dolly Parton movie! 🎙️ Stop Ruining My Childhood Podcast Nostalgia is not a crime.

    Road House (1989): Steve Loved It. Megan Has Questions

    This week, we revisit the original Road House, starring Patrick Swayze, Sam Elliott, Kelly Lynch, and Ben Gazzara, with behind-the-scenes fun facts, strange history, and a surprisingly contentious debate over just how well this movie holds up. Road House (1989) is one of the most gloriously over-the-top action movies of the ’80s—but there’s a lot more behind Patrick Swayze’s bar-brawling cult classic than flying fists and throat-ripping. We dig into the real-life inspirations behind the film, including the writer’s experiences as a bouncer and the story of a notorious local bully whose death became the subject of a remarkable real-life case when an entire town seemed unwilling to say who was responsible. We also get into Patrick Swayze’s feelings about Dalton’s infamous mullet, the making of the movie, and how Road House became a beloved action cult classic. Steve explains why he absolutely loved this movie as a 12-year-old, Megan argues that Sam Elliott is hotter than Patrick Swayze and steals the entire film, Megan realizes midway through that one of the characters was blind the entire time, and things get heated when we tackle the movie’s treatment and objectification of women. Is Road House ridiculous? Absolutely. Is it awesome? Steve has thoughts. Does Megan agree? Not necessarily. Join us for Road House (1989) trivia, movie history, behind-the-scenes stories, nostalgia, Patrick Swayze, Sam Elliott, questionable ’80s gender politics, and one very contentious trip back to the Double Deuce.

    By the Power of Grayskull…we're going back to Eternia!

    Masters of the Universe (1987): The Infamous He-Man Movie

    Masters of the Universe (1987) gave us Dolph Lundgren as He-Man, Frank Langella as Skeletor, almost none of the characters we knew from the cartoon and toys, and a production so troubled that Cannon Films literally ran out of money before they finished making it. What could possibly go wrong? This week, we're revisiting the live-action He-Man and the Masters of the Universe movie and the absolutely insane story of how it made it to the big screen. We talk about Cannon Films' financial problems, the shrinking budget, the missing characters and locations from the Mattel toys and He-Man cartoon, Dolph Lundgren's performance, and Frank Langella's surprisingly committed Skeletor. Then, we go beat by beat through the movie itself. Why does a He-Man movie spend so much time on Earth? Why is Courteney Cox here? What exactly does the Cosmic Key do? And why does the script seem determined to keep He-Man away from everything that made He-Man... He-Man? We remembered the cartoon. We remembered Skeletor. We definitely remembered the toys. But did we remember Masters of the Universe? And, in the end, did it ruin our childhood?

    Supergirl (2026): Movie Review & Rewatch

    Does the new Supergirl soar... or does it ruin our childhood? In this episode, we take a deep dive into both the 1984 cult classic starring Helen Slater and the brand-new 2026 film.

Then, it's time for a full, beat-by-beat breakdown of the 2026 movie, examining every major plot point, character, surprise, and ending.

    Supergirl (1984): The Disaster That Nearly Killed Superhero Movies

    Stop Ruining My Childhood Season 3, Episode 1– Supergirl (1984) This week, we're revisiting 1984's Supergirl! Before diving into our full scene-by-scene recap and review, we share our memories of the film, fun behind-the-scenes facts, how the movie changed a disastrous number of times during production, why the famous aerial ballet sequences were cut, and how we got some of the strangest food product tie-ins of the 1980s including long sequences at Popeye's chicken and some rather questionable uses of the A&W root beer branding. Then, we break down the movie from beginning to end, talking about what still works (not much), what definitely doesn't, our favorite moments, and whether Supergirl deserves another chance from modern audiences... or whether Hollywood made the right call by remaking and rebooting the franchise.

    Bosom Buddies (1980)

    We are starting our look into the 1980s! This week, Megan reviews Bosom Buddies. She was particularly surprised to learn that the show was not a TV rip-off of the Oscar-award winning film, Tootsie. Bosom Buddies was an American television sitcom starring Tom Hanks and Peter Scolari. It aired on Thursday nights for two seasons on ABC from 1980-1982 and in reruns on NBC in 1984 after Tom Hanks appeared in Splash. The show features the misadventures of two single men, struggling with low-level careers in advertising. After their apartment is demolished, they disguise themselves as women in order to live in the place they can afford... a complex where no men are allowed! The show became known for its quirky humor and its frequent use of improvisation. Though the show started out with good ratings, it failed to hold the public's interest and was canceled after two seasons. Was it as horrible as we remember? Or did it hold up fairly well?

    Friends (Thanksgiving) and Kit-Kats

    Happy Holidays everyone! It's Friendsgiving time, and that means we finally rewatch Friends! Friends was an NBC sitcom created by Marta Kauffman and David Crane, which ran for 10 seasons from 1994-2004. The show starred 6 actors who were relatively unknown at the time and launched them almost immediately into superstardom. Known for their extravagant Thanksgiving episodes, Friends became a bit of a divisive show, with some people loving and others hating the sitcom looking at a group of friends drinking coffee, talking about relationships, and managing the expectations of being a young adult in New York City. Before talking about the "Brad Pitt Episode" and the "One With all the Thanksgiving Flashbacks," Steve and Megan take some time to enjoy a break, enjoy a Kit-Kat, and talk about their own memories of Thanksgiving. Did we love the show? Did it hold up to our memories? Listen to find out!

    Darkwing Duck and Raisinets

    Darkwing Duck was an animated superhero comedy show that ran on the Disney Channel and ABC from 1991-1992. Part of the "Disney Block" of afterschool shows, it followed Duck Tales and was often thought to be a spin-off of that beloved show. In his secret identity of Drake Mallard, Darkwing Duck lives in an unassuming suburban house with his adopted daughter Gosalyn. He solves crimes with the help of Gosalyn, side-kick Launchpad McQuack, and their friends. Before getting into our memories and recap, we revisit Raisinets and listen to the commercial for the California Raisins. Megan talks about synchronized swimming, and Steve talks about his love for superheroes, even animated ones. Did we love the show? Was it cancelled too soon? Listen to find out?

    Don't expose them to the light. Don't get them wet. And no matter what, don't feed them after midnight! We are reviewing Gremlins this Halloween! And subbing in for Steve, we have Megan's brother Tim, who was also part of our 50th episode extravaganza. Gremlins is a comedy-horror film.

We talk about the history of the company and Wendy, the beloved "Snapple Lady" before talking about the making of Gremlins and the history of the film. Do we still love Snapple?
