Killing Your DarlingsKYD 100 - GhostbustersWell, long time no see, darlings! Apologies for our long hiatus but, ya know, s**t happens.

And for just a moment, the world stood still. Just kidding, it was released in theaters and on HBOMax and people seemed to be pretty "meh" about it. Your beloved hosts were part of this "meh" group. So they figured they would go back and watch the original and see what all of the fuss had been about back in the 90s and what could possibly prompt a sequel over 20 years later. Michael Jordan (played by himself) is at the peak of his f...2021-07-311h 03Killing Your DarlingsKYD 098 - The Black CauldronNow that Dan is officially DONE with his thesis, he is able to catch up on a bunch of weird animated films he has always had on his list.

So we decided to go back and give this one a go and see if it's worth the hype! Starring comedy powerhouses Chevy Chase, Bill Murray and Rodney Dangerfield and directed by Harold Ramis (RIP), Caddyshack is the story of a young caddy named Danny (Michael O'Keefe) who scores a scholarship to college through a teen golf tournament at the...2019-07-311h 01Killing Your DarlingsKYD 074 - Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal SkullTime to hang up that whip and fedora, kids...because we have FINALLY come to the end of our deep dive into the Indiana Jones quadrilogy! That's right, darlings! After all the hype, your fearless hosts are finally watching the famous/infamous fourth Indiana Jones flick...Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull! Taking a jump several years into the future, this film is set in the 1950s and the Red Scare is ON! Indy (now and forever played by Harrison Ford) is back, a little older and a little more worn, but still able to...2019-05-311h 14Killing Your DarlingsKYD 073 - Indiana Jones and the Last CrusadeOh, hey jokes! We didn't see you there during Temple of Doom. Glad to see you've finished your vacay and are back for the next film...Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade! This month your hosts are joined by a very special guest...our good friend Kate Holland! She's a big fan of this third Indy film and Dan & Chrysten were so happy to have her come and share her memories, opinions, a few laughs, and a few drinks, if we're being honest! In the third installment of the Indiana Jones franchise, our titular hero (agai...2019-05-311h 14Killing Your DarlingsKYD 072 - Indiana Jones and the Temple of DoomContinuing their adventures in franchising, your hosts are watching the second installment in the Indiana Jones quadrilogy: Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom! In this second adventure (which is technically a prequel, set one year earlier than Raiders), Indiana Jones (a far more jacked Harrison Ford) finds himself in India. Joined by sidekick, Shortround (played by the delightful Jonathan Ke Quan) and former nightclub singer, Willie (played by the abducted-against-her-will Kate Capshaw), Indy has to venture deep into the Temple of Doom to recover magical missing stones to save a small village! Once again...2019-04-301h 10Killing Your DarlingsKYD 071 - Raiders of the Lost ArkCue the John Williams music, because this month we are finally tapping into one of the most beloved 80s adventure franchises! No, not THAT one...the OTHER George Lucas franchise: INDIANA JONES! Now, as the internet informs us, the original title for this movie was just Raiders of the Lost Ark, but after the success of the franchise, when it was re-released it was then dubbed Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark. Either way, it's still the story of a supposedly mild-mannered archaeologist who steals artifacts for the museum in his downtime. Bonafide hunk, Harriso...2019-04-011h 02Killing Your DarlingsKYD 070 - StargateWell, we got this one in just under the wire...Speaking of wires! We had some minor sound issues with this episode, but it's still pretty funny, so hang in there, darlings! Dan has been pushing to watch this movie for months...so after Chrysten made him sit through My So-Called Life, it only seemed fair to let him watch one of his favorite 90s properties... Dr. Daniel Jackson (James Spader) is approached by a mysterious woman who asks him to assist her in translating ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics. After he successfully translates the hieroglyphics (in what...2019-03-011h 17Killing Your DarlingsKYD 069 - My So-Called LifeThis month your hosts are going a little off format and doing an entire series! Calm down, don't give them too much credit...it was cancelled after one season. We are, of course, talking about the most 90s show to have ever 90s'd in the 90s...My So-Called Life! Strap in, darlings, because this is a long one! Focused on the teen life of Angela Chase (Claire Danes) and her friends, Rayanne (AJ Langer) & Rickie, My So-Called Life aired on ABC from 1994-1995.

This week our hosts are joined by a very special guest...their good friend, Christine Chun! Christine came over to the KYD HQ for a healthy dose of wassail, gift swapping and of course, nostalgia.

However, the nephews were more interested in banging their plastic toys together and throwing s**t across the room, so the endeavor proved fruitless. So Dan and Chrysten decided, "F**k it, we'll just watch it ourselves cuz we live for this s**t." And here we are! Bambi is the story of a newly born fawn named Bambi, a sweet if not somewhat clumsy lil' fella. Alongside his woodland friends, Thumper...2018-11-3059 minKilling Your DarlingsKYD 066 - The CraftIt's the moooost spookiest tiiiime of the yeeear...wait, that makes no grammatical sense. Anyway...it's Halloween time again, darlings! And Dan and Chrysten are back with another spooky episode!

Your hosts just got back from vacation in Hawaii and in an attempt to hold onto that island spirit, this month's episode is focused on Disney's most famous Hawaiian animated feature. No, not Moana. Moana's set in Polynesia. Duh. We are talking about 2002's Lilo & Stitch! Lilo and Nani have lost their parents in a tragic car accident and are trying to keep what is left of their little family together. Desperate for a friend, Lilo makes a wish on a falling star.

OK, now that we've got that out of the way, let's talk about an actual awesome vampire series. Penned by Anne Rice back in the 80s/90s, The Vampire Chronicles were what every bookish teenage girl read and swooned over. And by every bookish teenage girl, we're talking about Chrysten. So of course because there were wildly successful books, there had to be a movie. Enter 1994's Interview with the Vampire. Brad Pitt plays Louis, a vampire telling his story to an eager reporter (played by Christian Slater). He regales Sl...2018-08-291h 03Killing Your DarlingsKYD 063 - The Care Bears MovieWe're bringing this episode to you a little early this month because we love you soooo much!

This movie was a special request from Dan's friend, Ashley, and since your hosts were raised on Sesame Street, they were all too happy to oblige! In this big screen iteration of America's favorite children's television show, our large yellow protagonist, Big Bird, is spirited away from his home on Se...2018-06-251h 00Killing Your DarlingsKYD 061 - HackersHappy Memorial Day, darlings!

But we've got a good excuse! And we've got a new episode for you now! Chrysten used to watch Dune with her dad when she was definitely way too young to be watching anything helmed by David Lynch. Dan had started watching Dune awhile back and...thinks he stopped after the first twenty minutes or so? So what do your two hosts do when they have just moved into a new apartment and have no time or money to go out in the new neighborhood? They watch Dune. Based on the Frank...2018-03-261h 03Killing Your DarlingsKYD 058 - Groundhog Day...Cuz we're back, baby! After a few week hiatus, your hosts Dan & Chrysten are back with a brand new episode of KYD for your earholes!

We put up a poll to get some suggestions from you, our faithful listeners, and you chose What About Bob! But then Dan's sister and friend of the show, Ellie Cohen, ran into some serious travel woes and requested we do Planes, Trains & Automobiles and we agreed because, well, family first and all that.

Since Dan is Jew-ish, he grew up celebrating both Christmas AND Chanukah. So in the effort to focus on other holidays besides Christmas, we watched both A Rugrats Chanukah AND A Charlie Brown Christmas! In A Rugrats Chanukah, our favorite gang of adventurous babies pay a visit to the local synagogue where Tommy Pickles' Grandpa Boris is set to star in the annual Chanukah play!

What do you know? It's just one of the greatest film classics of all time: Steven Spielberg's love letter to alien life, E.T. The Extra Terrestrial! This is the incredible story of a boy named Elliott and his deep connection to an alien being that has accidentally been left behind by their spaceship.

Neither Dan nor Chrysten grew up with this movie and neither has seen it as an adult, so...this is gonna be awkward. Starring legendary clarion soprano, Julie Andrews, Dick Van Dyke at his most bang-able, and two extremely wooden kid actors (one of whom looks like a tiny Toby Jones) this movie has a host of fun and whimsical musical numbers, animated fantasy sequences and a whole lotta un-necessary musical numbers as well. Like, seriously, can I get...2017-08-071h 12Killing Your DarlingsKYD 033 - Mr. MomFirst of all...we need to address the elephant in the room: Michael Keaton is by far the most underrated actor of the past 30 years. Guys, he's so good. Like, for real, just so f**kin' good. Take this week's film, Mr. Mom. This is a goofy fish-out-of-water role reversal comedy. And yet somehow, Michael Keaton is doing some of the subtlest, most interesting work of his magnificent career. Also Keaton = Best Batman, THIS IS NOT A DEBATE!!! Btw, Teri Garr and Martin Mull are also bringing their A-games in this movie.

This week we watch the movie that sunk Don Bluth's animation studio...the absolutely "fowl" (get it?) singing chicken story Rock-A-Doodle. Don't blame us. Our friends over at the Flannel Cakes podcast made us do it.
