Hello, Movie Lovers!
Welcome to this week's Movies at Grandmas House newsletter! We're back with the fifth edition of "Grandma's Archives" where we continue our trip down memory lane, revisiting films from our podcast catalog.
This week, we're traveling back to the Stone Age with the 1994 live-action adaptation, The Flintstones. When Fred Flintstone gets promoted at Slate & Co., he thinks his dreams have come true—but he's actually being set up as the fall guy in an embezzlement scheme orchestrated by the villainous Cliff Vandercave. What follows is a surprisingly adult tale of corporate corruption, workplace betrayal, and family loyalty, all set in the prehistoric town of Bedrock.
We gave this one a modest 2 out of 5 stars. This is a fascinating time capsule of mid-'90s Hollywood's obsession with live-action cartoon adaptations, and it doesn't quite stick the landing. The production design is genuinely impressive—they really committed to bringing Bedrock to life—and John Goodman is perfectly cast as Fred. But the movie is weirdly caught between being a kids' film and an adult workplace drama, with corporate embezzlement and marital strain taking center stage. The tone is all over the place, and the humor often misses the mark. That said, Isaac was hit with major nostalgia—not so much for the movie itself, but for the absolute marketing blitz, including McDonald's locations transformed into "RocDonald's." If you were there in '94, you remember the hype.
Plus, we've found some amazing deals on movie posters from MoviePoster.com, Amazon, and more—check them out!

 | Isaac's Rating Hide it in the Attic “I admit, when I see even clips of this I am taken back to 1994. The marketing was everywhere and I have fun memories of that time. As a movie though, this hasn’t aged well. A lot more adult themes than I recall too. " |
Seth's Rating Hide it in the Attic “It was a hard watch and didn’t age well. I am gonna hide this one deep in attic not to be watched again.” |  |
