KYD 073 - Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
May 31, 2019 10:00 - 1 hour - 51.4 MBOh, 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 franch...
KYD 072 - Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom
April 30, 2019 10:00 - 1 hour - 48.7 MBContinuing 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),...
KYD 071 - Raiders of the Lost Ark
March 31, 2019 22:05 - 1 hour - 43.1 MBCue 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 ar...
KYD 070 - Stargate
March 01, 2019 02:42 - 1 hour - 53.8 MBWell, 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 h...
KYD 069 - My So-Called Life
January 30, 2019 11:00 - 1 hour - 58.4 MBThis 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. Angela and her friends face al...
KYD 068 - How the Grinch Stole Christmas
December 20, 2018 11:00 - 1 hour - 83.2 MBI was going to try and write this blurb in Seussian rhyme, but there's a reason why only Dr. Seuss could do it...that s**t's hard! 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. Christine requested to watch a childhood favorite of hers and Dan and Chrysten, being in the Christmas spirit, were happy to oblige! How the Grinch Stole Christma...
KYD 067 - Bambi
November 30, 2018 11:00 - 59 minutes - 82.4 MBOver the Thanksgiving holiday, your beloved hosts attempted to watch Bambi, Disney's classic animated tale of adorable animals and murder, with their adorable nephews. 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 ...
KYD 066 - The Craft
October 31, 2018 10:00 - 1 hour - 87.1 MBIt'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! True to form, Dan has never seen 90s teen classic The Craft, so naturally, Chrysten is making him sit through it and enjoy it in all of its teen goth glory! When Sarah (Robin Tunney) moves to a new town, she is befriended by a group of outcast girls (Fairuza Balk, Neve Campbell & Rachel True) w...
KYD 065 - Lilo & Stitch
September 30, 2018 01:43 - 1 hour - 86.3 MBAloha, darlings! 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. Littl...
KYD 064 - Interview with the Vampire
August 29, 2018 04:30 - 1 hour - 87.4 MBTwilight sucks. Twilight sucks. Twilight sucks. 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 vampir...
KYD 063 - The Care Bears Movie
July 20, 2018 17:53 - 1 hour - 85.4 MBWe're bringing this episode to you a little early this month because we love you soooo much! Well, actually, Chrysten has a show she wanted to shamelessly promote, so...you're welcome? This month we take a Rainbow Rescue Beam up to Cloud City, oh sorry...Care-A-Lot to visit those cuddly little harbingers of good feelings...The Care Bears! This movie was another of Chrysten's taped off the TV repeat watch-ers, so when she saw it was on (F**KIN') HULU she knew she had to make Dan (a.k.a. G...
KYD 062 - Follow That Bird
June 25, 2018 10:00 - 1 hour - 83 MBGrab your tissues, folks! This month Dan and Chrysten are back and they are watching that renowned family drama...Follow That Bird...? Yes, you read that right. You may not think a Sesame Street movie could make you cry multiple times in one sitting, but you'd be mistaken. 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 televisi...
KYD 061 - Hackers
May 28, 2018 18:22 - 1 hour - 92.1 MBHappy Memorial Day, darlings! We're back with another totally 90s episode of Killing Your Darlings! This time it's Dan's pick and we are watching quite possibly the most nineties movie to have ever ninetied in the nineties, Hackers!

KYD 060 - Little Women
April 27, 2018 12:25 - 58 minutes - 80.4 MBHello, darlings! Sorry we've been a bit tardy with this month's ep. We've been busy trying to turn our new house into a home! And speaking of happy homes... Is there any home that seems more warm and full of familial bliss than the March family home in this month's film, Little Women? Winona Ryder at her absolute charming best, Trini Alvarado as the consummate eldest sister, Claire Danes ugly crying in a non-annoying way, and Kirsten Dunst as the pain-in-the-ass lil' sis! And don't fo...
KYD 059 - Dune
March 26, 2018 15:25 - 1 hour - 87.7 MBOK, ok...we know we're late. 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. Ba...
KYD 058 - Groundhog Day
February 12, 2018 19:00 - 1 hour - 83.6 MB...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! This month, we decided to focus on a film that centers on the most famous holiday in the month of February...Groundhog Day! That's right. Valentine's Day is for suckers. Bill Murray plays Pittsburgh weather man, Phil Connors, whose inflated ego causes him to treat everyone around him like a jerk, including his cameraman, Larry (Chris Elliott) & new p...
KYD 057 - What About Bob?
January 15, 2018 11:00 - 1 hour - 83.6 MBLast week, we took a request from you, our faithful listeners, and promptly ignored it. Sorry 'bout it...we watched it this week instead.

KYD 056 - Planes, Trains & Automobiles
January 08, 2018 11:00 - 1 hour - 98.1 MBThis week your hosts were absolutely freezing and thought it would be a good idea to watch a movie that takes place in summer to help get their minds off of how friggin' cold it is! 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. We promi...
KYD 055 - Cool Runnings
January 01, 2018 11:00 - 55 minutes - 76.1 MBGet on up! It's Bobsled time! That's right, darlings. This week we took a poll to see which cold weather movie was your fave and by a landslide, you guys chose Disney's 1993 hit Cool Runnings! Loosely (and we mean VERY loosely) based on the true story of the first Jamaican Olympic bobsled team! Derice Bannock (played by the solo monikered Leon) dreams of competing for Olympic gold on the Jamaican track team, just like his father. But when he is accidentally tripped by a fellow runner d...
KYD 054 - Home Alone
December 25, 2017 14:49 - 1 hour - 90.7 MBThis is it! The one we've all be waiting for!

Kevin, being one of the youngest ones, always seems to be underfoot. When he wishes that his family would disappe...
KYD 053 - A Rugrats Chanuka + A Charlie Brown Christmas
December 18, 2017 11:00 - 56 minutes - 77.7 MBThis year, our Holiday wish is to endeavor to be more inclusive! 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! The gang learn a valuable lesson about friendshi...
KYD 052 - A Christmas Story
December 11, 2017 11:00 - 1 hour - 89.1 MBReal talk...we've all been watching bits and pieces of A Christmas Story ever since TBS got the brilliant idea to play this movie for 24 damn hours straight. But when's the last time you actually sat down and watched it as a complete movie? Your faithful hosts are currently in the thick of the Holiday Haze, so they're gonna sit down and watch it for you! You know all the iconic moments: the leg lamp, the kid's tongue sticking to the frozen pole, "I can't put my arms down!" and of course.....

KYD 050 - E.T. The Extra Terrestrial
November 27, 2017 11:00 - 56 minutes - 77.3 MBNo, Brendan Fraser isn't in this one. And no, Kurt Russell isn't in it either. So it must be a pretty great movie if neither of those dudes are needed to buoy it up. And hey! 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. This movie w...
KYD 049 - Encino Man
November 20, 2017 11:00 - 54 minutes - 74.8 MBWe took to the streets again this week, and by "the streets" I mean Twitter, to ask the people which Brendan Fraser movie they wanted us to discuss next. The people have spoken...and the people want Encino Man! Sean Astin plays Dave, a typical 90s high school loser who just wants the girl he likes to notice him. When he and his hippie buddy, Stoney (Pauly Shore) accidentally dig up a frozen caveman in Dave's backyard, Dave thinks they are one defrosting away from high school fame. They p...

All the LA based metal band, The Lone Rangers, want is to get their demo played on th...

This week we take a trip to the left coast and hang with those two most excellent of California bros, Bill S. Preston, Esquire and Ted "Theodore" Logan in the 1989 time travel classic Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure! All these two high school buds want to do is start a band, but when their history teacher tells them they are dangerously close to flunking, Ted's dad threatens to send Ted to milit...

KYD 044 - The Thing
October 16, 2017 10:00 - 1 hour - 86.8 MB...And more Kurt Russell is what we're gonna give 'em! This week we watch John Carpenter's 80's sci-fi horror classic The Thing! Plus it's October, so something scary seemed appropriate. When a Norwegian helicopter lands at the US McMurdo Station in Antarctica, they are chasing and trying to shoot a seemingly harmless dog. What the team stationed at McMurdo doesn't realize, is that they are about to have a world of terror unleashed on them! A murderous space alien goes on a rampage, tak...

KYD 042 - Mousehunt
October 02, 2017 10:00 - 1 hour - 86.4 MBThis week, we answer Twitter fan, Cugino Bambino's request and watch a movie that we have successfully managed to avoid our entire lives...Mousehunt! We know absolutely nothing about this late 90s Nathan Lane vehicle, other than Nathan Lane is in it and that he...hunts a mouse? Also Lee Evans is there...and he...does stuff too? Maybe also involving the mouse and hunting it? We dunno, we didn't grow up with this one so...you know how that tends to go on this show. Or will it...? Join us...

When he takes a job building a shoe closet for snobby and insufferable yacht owner, Joanna Stayton, she insults him and ultimately stiffs him on his payment.

KYD 040 - Captain Ron

KYD 039 - Splash
September 11, 2017 10:00 - 1 hour - 85.4 MBWho doesn't love Tom Hanks? For those of us that grew up in the golden age of Hanks, this movie is the one that started it all.

KYD 038 - Free Willy

When Jesse is caught, he has to work at the park removing the graffiti he and his bad kid friends...sprayed? Tagged? Whatever, I'm old... During his time at the park he forms a special conn...
KYD 037 - Babe
August 28, 2017 10:00 - 1 hour - 87.3 MBFun fact...James Cromwell's ringtone is him saying his most famous line. You know the one... "That'll do, Pig..." This week we watch the movie that made that line (and James Cromwell, for that matter) a part of the American lexicon: Babe! As a piglet, Babe is taken from a dreary slaughterhouse and won in a contest by farmer Hoggett. Babe, an outsider on the farm, is adopted by a family of sheepdogs and, in turn, starts learning to become a great sheep-pig in his own right. This sweet, f...
KYD 036 - My Girl
August 21, 2017 10:00 - 1 hour - 84.2 MBFINALLY breaking his very long streak of watching childhood classics that he never saw as a child, Dan suggested we watch the 90s family dramedy and Macaulay Culkin vehicle, My Girl. Excellent suggestion, Dan! Who doesn't love this movie? Dan Aykroyd as a curmudgeonly widower who runs a funeral parlor, Jamie Lee Curtis as the sexy make up artist who wins his heart, the aforementioned MAC as the sweet nerdy sidekick...and starring smart ass perfectionist assistant Amy Brookheimer (aka Anna...

KYD 034 - Mary Poppins
August 07, 2017 10:00 - 1 hour - 99.3 MBWe're back on that audience request tip, with Lindsay G (@poormanstinafey)'s darling and Disney live action/animated classic Mary Poppins! 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 fa...
KYD 033 - Mr. Mom
July 31, 2017 10:00 - 54 minutes - 74.4 MBFirst 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 bringin...
KYD 032 - Batman: The Animated Series
July 24, 2017 10:00 - 58 minutes - 80.9 MBThis week we're going a liiiiittle off format and revisiting a childhood favorite of kids everywhere that needed a distraction while they were doing their homework: Batman: The Animated Series!

None of the Foot Clan have been seen...until our four green heroes catch them robbin...

KYD 029 - FernGully: The Last Rainforest
July 03, 2017 10:00 - 1 hour - 83.5 MBOK, so legit the creators of this movie should sue the crap out of the creators of Avatar because it's basically the same movie....except after this one I didn't wish I had the last three hours of my life back!

Starring bonafide 90s hotties, Samantha Mathis and Christian Slater, the late great Robin Williams, and actin...

June 26, 2017 10:00 - 1 hour - 83.2 MBOh, Flannel Cakes...what have you done to us? 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. Loosely based on characters from Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, this movie stars one "cocky" (can't ever get enough chicken based puns!) rooster named Chanticleer who thinks that he makes the sun rise when he crows. But the evil Duk...
KYD 027 - Who Framed Roger Rabbit?
June 19, 2017 12:35 - 1 hour - 92.3 MBOK, so no joke...when people ask me who my favorite Disney princess is I always say Jessica Rabbit. And anyone who has seen this movie I'm sure would agree! This week, I introduce Dan to one of my childhood favorites, the live action/animation masterpiece Who Framed Roger Rabbit? Starring the late great character actor, Bob Hoskins, as the whiskey-soaked former gumshoe to the animated stars of old Hollywood, this movie has everything: a lovable cartoon rabbit, Christopher Lloyd at his mos...

Also...is there anyone that isn't completely confused by the "Broadway Rhy...

We discuss the film with Tami, what she remembers most from her time on set, and her brushes with stardom. We also talk to her about what she has been working on in the years since the film's release and what her life is like now! Just like her character in the ...
