189. Commercials of the 80s and 90s vol. 8 Jul 01, 2025

Show notes

It's that time again! Don't touch that dial and try and find a channel that isn't on commercial -- they're all commercials! Kevin brought Chris a slew of oldies (not all goldies) such as ads for ancient electronics with features we'd still kill for today and who can forget that loveable children's classic: The Bud Bowl, where beer bottles play football for some reason? You know, for kids! Call the number on your screen and order now!

188. French Kiss Jun 17, 2025

Show notes

Winter and spring have given way to summer, and where better to head than the south of France for a romantic interlude, no? This week, Chris and Kevin crack into French Kiss, the 1995 romantic comedy starring Kevin Kline and Meg Ryan against the backdrop of Paris and the southern vineyards. Is this a downturn in Meg's romcom trajectory? Or is it, secretly, one of her best?

187. The Karate Kid Part III Jun 02, 2025

Show notes

In anticipation of the new... I want to say... sixth? not counting TV! installment of the Karate Kid franchise, Kevin brings Chris the third part of the, uh, trilogy. There's a new villain in town and he makes John Kreese look like a reasonable San Fernando Valley karate school teacher/business owner. But will Daniel-san be able to beat his equivalently nuttier student in a karate tournament THIS time?? And assuming you guess that, how does it hold up after all these years? Listen and see!

186. Police Academy 4 May 19, 2025

Show notes

Kevin and Chris are joined by DT (@dtfrombtown on Twitch) for a long look back at a movie that clearly made a *big* impact on him: Police Academy 4. Part of the long-running, critically reviled, financially dominant (more than a billion in pure profit across seven films!) comedy series, the foruth iteration finds the gang welcoming some newcomers to the ranks - it's Citizens on Patrol!

185. Looney Tunes May 05, 2025

Show notes

You've heard us talk about The Day The Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie (if you're a member of the patreon), you've heard us talk about Rabbit Rampage for the Super Nintendo, but that's NOT all, folks! Here at last is our definitive review of the definitive Looney Tunes (or Merrie Melodies for the old heads). Is it any good? Well yes obviously. But is it REALLY good? Listen and see!

184. Casper Apr 21, 2025

Show notes

Kevin and Chris dive headlong into 1995's smash family hit Casper, which the latter enjoyed reasonably well, and the former seemed ready to claw out his eyes... or those of everyone around him.

(Check out the video episode at @nowweknowpod on Youtube for even more fun (we're in the sight gag business now!)

183. Wee Sing: Grandpa's Magical Toys Apr 07, 2025

Show notes

In today's first in-person video episode NWK's own Punchinello, Natasha Vinik, brings us her favorite childhood "movie": Grandpa's Magical Toys (from the Wee Sing video collection). The plot and budget are pretty bare-bones but does it hold up for Wee Natasha? And what of Kevin and Chris?

182. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs Mar 24, 2025

Show notes

(PROGRAMMING NOTE: This episode, as will be true of future episodes, is now optimized with full video! You'll still get your audio-only podcasts as usual, but for the full experience, visit Now We Know on YouTube!)

With a new live-action remake hitting theaters (stop us if you've heard that one before), we dive into the 1937 classic Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Also, much as Snow White was a seismic shift in the history of the animation medium, so too is this episode for Now We Know: it's our first full video episode, right here on YouTube. Follow us for what figures to be a permanent explosion of video content!

181. Harriet the Spy (1996) Mar 10, 2025

Show notes

In honor of the recently, shockingly departed Michelle Trachtenberg, returning guest Jessica brings the film adaptation of Harriet the Spy, a childhood obsession which led to her own illegal, unethical actions. Was it because of a lack of clear message that there was anything wrong with them as long as you don't get caught? Peep at Kevin & Chris from behind your own underpowered opera glasses as we unearth the clues!
