As one chapter closes, another begins . . . welcome to our
new series, “When We Wuz Kids,” wherein Michael and I recall and review movies
that we were enjoyed in our respective youths. Naturally, with our current level
of maturity, we will be maintaining quiet dignity and a mature respect for . .
. Miiiike! Quit it! Hey, Mike’s waving his hand in my face! It doesn’t MATTER
if you’re not touching me, or if it’s free air, you’re still being a jerk! Oh,
you are so going to get it! No, YOU are! Oh, yeah? Well, so’s your ol’ man!
Quit it! Oh, you gonna cry now, big baby? You gonna cry? Gimme back my juice
box!
So yes, Mike and I are regressing to childhood (yes, thank you, keep the “how
far can that be” jokes to yourselves), starting with one of my favorites when I
was a wee lad: the Beatles’ “Yellow Submarine.” Ok, yes, when I first saw it as
a child, the Blue Meanies scared me so much I had to be taken out of the
theater. But I got over it. Really. I did. I’m not scared of AAAAAAHHHH! BLUE
MEANIEEEEEES! *ahem* Yes, well . . . look, they’re really scary when you’re
little! Shut up, Mike, they are too! Oh, you are so gonna get it at recess . .
. Anyway, give a listen as we discuss the animated creation based around the
Lads from Liverpool. Enjoy, and
remember: Blue Meanies never take “yes” for an answer!
