b'Hey Everyone,\\n\\nAngela Bowen here, the host of Looking Back On My Wonder Years: A Wonder Years Podcast.\\n\\nToday, I decided to cover another 90\'s Kids Movie Classic from my childhood, 1994\'s The Little Rascals.\\n\\nMovie Synopsis:\\n\\nAlfalfa is wooing Darla and his "He-Man-Woman-Hating" friends attempt to sabotage the relationship.\\n\\nI loved rewatching this movie, and had a great time with lots of laughs and fun times. So many cameos and I was amazed at some things they did in the movie that in no way would make it into in a kids or family film today.\\n\\nFor example Alfalfa and Darla\'s relationship for kids under the age of 10 there was a LOT of kissing on the lips (now I didn\'t have a problem with this as a 11 year old when I saw it in theaters, I probably even thought it was cute, but now it\'s just a little uncomfortable).\\n\\nWith them being kids and the writers trying to adultify their relationship just listen to some of the lines they give the girl who plays Darla, she sounds like she\'s a 20-something year old girl who\'s been jilted by her man throwing out lines such as "I gave him the best years of my life", I\'m like come on sweetie, you\'re like 6 years old.\\n\\nI could definitely tell a considerable age difference between the two, Bug Hall (Alfalfa)he was 9 years old and Brittany Ashton Holmes (Darla)was 5 years old, plus the way he towered over her.\\n\\nI loved the friendship between Buckwheat and Porky. They were so hilarious and adorable.\\n\\nI loved how Stymie played the peacekeeper and mediator between Spanky and Alfalfa\'s friendship. He definitely is an old soul and wise beyond his years.\\n\\nI couldn\'t stand Butch and Woim, the were horrible plus they wore the clothes for the length of the movie, granted so did the majority of the kids.\\n\\nWoim could definitely do better in the friend department, Butch will only drag you down.\\n\\nWaldo is a garbage can of a human being. The way he treated Alfalfa and later on Darla, he was such a rich boy stereotype.\\n\\nFor a while I kept slipping up and calling Alfalfa, Alfonso, I think because of the review I read had mentioned their mom had called Alfalfa Alfonso, plus I also host a Silver Spoons Podcast and one of the characters is named Alfonso.\\n\\nDid You Know:\\n\\nThe dog who played Petey is the same dog who played Chance in Homeward Bound 2: Lost in San Francisco.\\n\\nI hope you all enjoy this review, have a great week everyone!\\n\\nTo EMAIL The Podcast:\\n\\nlbomwonderyearspodcast@gmail.com'
