Hello, movie lovers!
Welcome to this week's Movies at Grandmas House newsletter!
In our latest podcast episode, we asked: Does The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie (2004) still hold up, or is it just childhood nostalgia in disguise? This animated adventure from the height of SpongeBob mania follows our favorite fry cook and his best friend Patrick as they embark on a heroic quest to save Mr. Krabs and all of Bikini Bottom from the dastardly Plankton. We dive into its vibrant 2D animation, and see whether this surprisingly heartfelt take on the beloved Nickelodeon series still delivers laugh-out-loud humor and genuine emotion for today's families—or if it's more than meets the pineapple when it comes to pure nostalgia.
Plus, we've found some amazing deals on movie posters from MoviePoster.com, Amazon, and more—check them out!

The Spongebob Squarepants Movie (2004)
Join Isaac and Seth as they dive into Bikini Bottom to examine the 2004 SpongeBob SquarePants movie - a $30 million theatrical risk that was originally intended to be the series finale but ended up revitalizing the franchise for decades to come. The hosts explore whether this Nickelodeon adaptation successfully translated the show's zany humor to the big screen, discussing everything from David Hasselhoff's bizarre cameo and the surprisingly strong plot involving Plankton's "Plan Z" to the film's darker moments that pushed boundaries for a kids' movie. With a mix of nostalgia, honest critique, and genuine laughs, they debate whether the movie holds up as an underrated masterpiece or represents the moment SpongeBob lost its golden touch. Isaac finds himself unexpectedly entertained by the film's Ren & Stimpy-style dark humor, while Seth appreciates the plot but wishes for more subtlety in the comedy. Complete with fun facts, trivia, and their signature "take it home, watch at grandma's, or hide in the attic" rating system, this episode captures both the chaos and charm of one of Nickelodeon's most ambitious animated features.
But how would we rate it?
 | Isaac's Rating Watch it at Grandma’s “I was surprised how well the plot and jokes work. I found myself laughing throughout. It isn’t perfect but I had a fun time and my kids enjoyed it too." |
Seth's Rating Hide it in the attic “Not all the jokes landed to me. Had I watched the show more often, I would’ve been more interested.” |  |
