ATR #49: Nostalgia Filter: Good, bad, and ugly childhood movies

On this week’s episode, That Guy Named John is joined in the studio by This Guy Named Steve and Carmen as they discuss the “Nostalgia filter” as it relates to movies from our childhood. They each give a “good”, “bad” and “ugly” film, plus some honorable mentions!

To further explain the topic, a “good” movie is one they watched as a child, or when they were younger, that still holds up now. A “bad” movie is one they liked as a kid that does not really hold up, but they still like it, and finally, an “ugly” movie is something that they liked as a kid that upon watching it again realize it is atrocious. Stay tuned and see if any of your favorites made the list!
