Designated Parent

The third best computer animated film 2001 had to offer.

We did it. We actually stuck with something for an entire year. What have we learned by this? Nothing much, apparently.

In this episode, Adam has flashbacks to his days spent outside and remembers why he promised to never do that ever again.

The final (riiiiight) installment of the Skywalker Saga aka the main Star Wars movie. We're pretty sure we forgot more than we remembered, but it's still a fun ride.

Anna Kendrick is probably part elf. You can't prove she isn't.

WARNING: THIS EPISODE MAY CONTAIN SPOILER REGARDING THE EXISTENCE OR POSSIBLE NON-EXISTENCE OF SANTA CLAUSE. Now that is out of the way, we watch a sappy seasonal movie about recapturing the true meaning of Christmas in 1986.

Sneaking in another episode before the next movie comes out. Enjoy?

Because, yes, it's about time it got up and made someone a shitton more money.

Lisa just watched it for the first time. Adam hasn't seen it in years. We get several plot points very wrong. See if you can spot them by yelling at your phone when they pop up!

If you didn't get enough stilted acting and parliamentary procedure from the last episode, have we got a welcome surprise for you!

It's as if a million nerds cried out at once, and were still complaining 20 years later.

The Jedi have returned but... why? And for how long? And what's the big plan, anyway? There is a plan, right? I mean, we're not just walking into an obvious trap. Right? Right?

A little, furry man saves the world. Yes, we're talking about Danny DeVito.

Easily the most watchable of the Star Wars films, probably. At least Lisa thinks so, and she has opinions as to why.

It's a classic. It's required viewing in my house. And, it turns out, Lisa's not impressed.

The most recent re-telling of the legend of the Grinch, which still fails to justify its existence over a 30 minute cartoon.

Think it couldn't get worse than the live action Alvin and the Chipmunk movies? Well, you're right. But this one isn't really worthy of the nostalgia.

The greatest movie of our time? Probably not. The greatest performance by Eddy Murphy in a children's movie? Also, probably no. Mike Myers' best work? Still... no. But it's Shrek and it kept Smashmouth on the radio for longer than any of us could have ever expected.

With Lisa out of town, Adam has to rely on some even more unreliable narrators to get through this episode.

No, you didn't miss an episode. Our kids just didn't want to watch Descendants 2. So we watch this one instead. We'd like to think seeing the second part would make the third part make more sense but, honestly, we don't know how that would be possible.
