Scenes That I Love: Sunshine Day from The Brady Bunch Movie

Posted on August 22, 2026 by Lisa Marie Bowman

“Put on your Sunday best, kids. We’re going to Sears.”

Ah, the 70s. Or actually the 90s. All I know is that the Sears that was located near our house closed in 2014 and the empty parking lot briefly became a flea market before the police showed up and told everyone to go home.

Today’s scene that I love is from 1995’s The Brady Bunch Movie.

Brad’s “Scene of the Day” features Alicia Witt in LONGLEGS (2024)!

Posted on August 21, 2026 by Bradley Crain

Happy Birthday to Alicia Witt! Born on August 21st, 1975, I mainly know Alicia because my wife loves to watch Hallmark Christmas movies, and she was a mainstay on the channel for years. I’ll be honest, I love some of her Hallmark movies. Back in 2024, we went to the movie theater and watched her in the horror film LONGLEGS. I thought she was one of the best things about the movie.

In honor of her 51st birthday, I thought it might be fun to share this clip from LONGLEGS. It’s about as far from Hallmark as it gets!
