It's Super Bowl Sunday, and regardless of who you're rooting for, we can all agree that a new episode of Remember When is just what the Doctor ordered! So kick off your day with Episode 28, and enjoy a fresh episode of movie geek goodness!
Our show starts off with a look back at a classic adventure movie from the 80's, The Goonies. Starring Sean Astin, Josh Brolin, and Corey Feldman, this classic piece of cinema from Richard Donner is our first discussion. We talk about what we loved about the movie when we were kids, how well the movie's aged over time, and whether or not it's still relevant in today's society.
Then we jump into Heat. This bank heist drama from Michael Mann is the latest entry in Great Movies Jay Has Never Seen. Not so much a movie as a long-term cinematic commitment, Heat features an all star ensemble cast, an incredible shoot out sequence, and Val Kilmer with a mullet. But with a three hour run time, Jay's willingness to invest is put to the test, and after the first hour, his brain shuts off.
Finally, we discuss the long-awaited, greatly anticipated return of LOST. The season premiere whetted our appetites for more Island goodness, and we talk about temporal mechanics, alternate dimensions, and parallel coincidences. Oh, and butt-nekkid Juliet, as well.

It's 2010, so put aside whatever you're doing and resolve to listen to a brand new episode of Remember When! Our subtitle for this episode is "Great stuff Parris has never seen"
Episode 27 kicks off with our the discussion on The Abyss. James Cameron's big budget release from 1989 was high tech at the time, but it turns out that Parris has never seen it! We take a look back at the film, which featured revolutionary special effects at the time of its release, plus a cast featuring such notable talents as Ed Harris and Michael Biehn. Does this undersea adventure hold up over time? Will a two decade span have killed the impact of this movie? Listen in and find out.
Then we move on to Cameron's latest hit, Avatar. With a billion dollars under its belt, critical and public acclaim, and the beginning of a new era for 3-D, we stop and ask... is this any good? Does the movie hold up under scrutiny?
We cap off the show with yet another piece of pop culture Parris has never seen. After months of suggesting it, Big P sat down and watched the introductory episode to the legendary British show, Doctor Who. The Angels have the Blue Box, and Parris has a lot to say about this time travel extravaganza.

If you're a listener to Remember When, you probably know that it's been WAY too long since we recorded an episode. But today, we're getting the band back together. The new episode of Remember When will be recording this afternoon!
And as a special treat, if you want to listen in during the recording, we'll be offering a Ustream of the show at 2pm Pacific.
As the turkey brings your body to a sleepy conclusion on Thanksgiving, why not relax and unwind with the latest episode of Remember When?
Our Arnold Schwarzenegger series continues in Episode 26, as we sit down and reminisce about The Running Man. The Governator goes head to head against the ultimate pimp of game shows, giving us one of the cheesiest pieces of 80's film you could ever imagine.
Next, Jay takes a look at Predator, another fine piece of cinema he's never been exposed to before. Two governors go head to head against an extraterrestrial poacher that leaves a stream of bodies in its wake. A veritable cult classic, Jay looks on with fresh eyes at one of the more notable Arnie movies. Will he enjoy it in the spirit it's offered, or declare that its expiration date has long past?
Then we tangent off as Parris takes a look back on a recent movie, giving it a renewed opinion now that he's taken away a home viewing. The resulting conversation nearly has Jay falling over in shock. During this segment, you might hear us discussing a piece of reading material, which you can find at this link.
And speaking of tangents, we end the show with yet another "brief" spoiler-rich discussion of the fall TV season, talking about Parris' new favorite comedy, Jay's critical disappointments, and counting down to the return of an old favorite.

IT'S NOT A TUMAH! And no, this isn't some sort of alternate reality crafted from your deepest desires. A new episode of Remember When is actually queued up and ready for you to download. Do it! Do it now!
Episode 25 brings you the first half of our Arnold Schwarzenegger bonanza. We take a look back on the Governator's film history, reminisce fondly about some of his greatest film moments, and laugh hysterically at some of his less than stellar moments.
It all starts with Conan The Barbarian, one of Arnold's early performances. It's the latest in the line of Great Movies Jay Has Never Seen, but as the film creeps up on its 30 year anniversary, will it stand the test of time? Will the 80's cheese fest and excessive use of loin cloths make Jay turn up his nose in disgust, or will Parris see another victory over one of his beloved pieces of film history? Find out in this week's show.
We also look back at one of the truly quintessential pieces of Arnold movies, as well as one of the best sci-fi movies of all time. Total Recall gets torn apart, rebuilt, and then torn apart again. Once it's said and done, we wipe its memory and throw it into a Johnny Cab.
And with the launch of "V" on ABC, we take a few minutes to talk about the newly re-imagined series. Can 25 years and a multi-million dollar budget per episode make up for Marc Singer's absence? Does Elizabeth Mitchell have what it takes to play a lead in a series? And most importantly, will the show's production hiatus play in its favor? Listen in and find out.

After a brief and unintentional break in our regularly scheduled program, Remember When is back in style!
We kick off the show by commemorating the passing of one of the more notable actors from the 80's, Patrick Swayze. Sure, he's not a "classical" actor, but he was certainly a fixture in movies during the decade of punk rock and Members Only jackets. We start by talking about one of his campier and more memorable films, Red Dawn, and then move into Point Break, the latest entry in Great Movies Jay Has Never Seen.
Quentin Tarantino's latest cinema opus, Inglorious Basterds, serves as Act Two. Parris and Jay have both seen it, but is it any good? And will Jay be able to appreciate a Tarantino film for once? Listen in and find out.
Finally, we cap off the show with a look at what we're watching in the Fall TV season (and what you should be watching, too). A long-awaited wedding left us impressed, a troupe of kids in high school singing about their woes held surprises for us, and a mockumentary focusing on three different families reminds us that sitcoms aren't dead.
Spoiler alert: We both agree that The Cleveland Show is a tragedy.

After a long delay, we are back with episode 23 of Remember When!
Join Parris and Jay as we discuss the two latest movies Jay hasn't seen to finish up our John Landis discussion: Animal House and An American Werewolf in London.
Also this week we discuss District 9, the Avatar trailer and what went wrong with the summer movies of 2009?
And finally Jay hits Parris with news so big that it will change the face of Remember When forever!

If you're tired of the summer blues, Remember When has the cure for what ails you. We are proud to present Episode 22, where we give you the first part of our John Landis experience.
We kick off the show with the latest of Great Movies Jay Has Never Seen. Our selection this week is Trading Places, a perennial favorite from the 80's starring Dan Aykroyd and Eddie Murphy. Does this comedy still stand up over two decades later? And even more important, is Jay going to be able to appreciate it after all this time? Listen in and find out.
The discussion shifts over into Coming To America during the last half of the show. In the same universe as Trading Places, we talk about why this Eddie Murphy film is not only one of the best comedies to come out of the 1980's, but why it's quite possibly his best work ever in live action film.
All this, and tangents galore, are waiting for you in our newest episode.

Remember When is back, and this week's episode is more than meets the eye.
Our twenty first episode focuses on the recent Transformers movies from Michael Bay. A childhood staple for both of us, we take a look at the movies which tread upon the hallowed memories of our youth, a cherished era when two children would stare wide eyed at one of the most brilliant marketing efforts ever. We have a lot to talk about here, with both live action movies coming under intense scrutiny.
We also talk about Fast Times at Ridgemont High, the latest in the list of Great Movies Jay Has Never Seen. Will this quintessential high school film of the 80's stand the test of time, or will the passage of time treat it poorly? Listen in and find out.

And so we come to the final stop in our Matrix saga. After weeks of waiting in limbo, due to our hectic scheduling issues, we sit down and rip apart The Matrix Revolutions, a movie that's certainly ripe for the picking. We're focusing the entire episode on the final film in the Wachowski Brothers series... and boy, do we give it a tongue lashing.
We talk about the many missed opportunities in the script, the inconsistencies within the story, the plot holes big enough to drive the Nebercanezer through, and the terrible, terrible, terrible dialog. And that's just what happens in the first 10 minute of the podcast. For a movie like Revolutions, we offer no quarter, even if we do have a few guilty pleasures moments.
Fans of the show, you'll be pleased to hear some of our announcements at the end of this episode. We cover the topics for our next episode (including the return of Great Movies Jay Has Never Seen) and a surprise related to our new release schedule for the show.

There is no fate but what we make for ourselves. And with that in mind, we bring you Episode 19 of Remember When, which focuses on the Terminator franchise.
Jay and Parris both had a chance to see Terminator: Salvation during its opening weekend, and had a lot to say about this new take on the popular sci-fi franchise. What's the verdict on Christian Bale, or the sudden jump to the future? Does the movie hold up? Grab the show and give it a listen if you want to find out.
We also talk briefly about the original Terminator, the reasons why Terminator 2 is nearly untouchable, and the questionable-yet-unappreciated factors of Terminator 3. Jay takes a minute to blast Fox over their decision to cancel Sarah Connor Chronicles, too.
For the many listeners of Remember When that enjoy Lost, we talk about the Season 5 finale and what our thoughts were on the Big Reveals, as well as some of the storyline twists.
Wondering what happened to our Matrix discussions? Don't worry, we're just tangent'ing right now. We've decided to do something extra special with the Matrix Revolutions episode by recording it next week, while we're in the same room together, so we can do a full and proper job and tearing down the horror that is Revolutions. Of course, that means you'll have back-to-back episodes of Remember When in just a week's time, as well.
We'd like to thank everyone once again for their continued support of Remember When. It's through your help, your love, and your appreciation that we managed to be featured on the TV & Film page of iTunes this week.

We interrupt your regularly scheduled Matrix rundown to bring you an impromptu episode of Remember When.
Parris and Jay just got done watching the latest Star Trek movie, helmed by J.J. Abrams, and this episode was recorded on a spur of the moment lark, before either of us had a chance to discuss our thoughts. What results is the freshest voicing of opinions, before we've had a chance to prepare ourselves.
Part new territory, part reboot, and part time travel, the latest film in this beloved franchise has a lot riding on it. But is this the true Phoenix risen from the ashes, or does it fall flat on its face? We've got differences of opinion across the board here, with the two of us on opposite ends of the spectrum on quite a few points.
This episode is filled with spoilers from the new Star Trek movie, so make sure you've had a chance to see the film in theaters before listening to this episode.
We'll be capping off the Matrix trilogy soon, so don't think we've forgotten about Matrix Revolutions. I mean, we tried to forget it, but sometimes you just can't get over the scars.
