“Y2K” is a hilarious trip down memory lane, capturing the quirks and anxieties of the late ’90s as the world braced for a potential technological meltdown. The film cleverly intertwines humor with nostalgia, resonating deeply with those who grew up during that era. The characters are relatable, embodying the carefree yet paranoid spirit of the time, making every laugh feel personal. The pop culture references, from dial-up internet, struggles to flip phones, add to the charm. Overall, “Y2K” is a delightful blend of comedy and nostalgia, reminding us of how far we’ve come while laughing at our past. Highly recommended!
Grade: B+
About The Peetimes: This is a very short movie. To avoid any of the fun finale I chose just one Peetime that can carry you through to the end.

Plot
Two high school nobodies make the decision to crash the last major celebration before the new millennium on New Year’s Eve 1999. The night becomes even crazier than they could have ever dreamed when the clock strikes midnight.
RunPee.com owes RunPee Sis a huge debt of gratitude. She sees any movie needed with no complaints and has done so for ten years (even basing Thanksgiving and Christmas family festivities around the seeing films). In 2015 Sis ran the entire RunPee enterprise herself, while RunPee Dan, Jilly and Mom went traipsing off to Europe. Sis is the spider in the web holding the RunPee family together — besides being a funny, well rounded person, and a joyous pleasure to be around. Her favorite films start and end with horror (which thank goodness she’s happy to see, since most of us don’t have the stomach for it) — but also likes silly comedies, sad dramas, and musicals of all types. If you’ve used a Peetime for a scary film, you probably have RunPee Sis to thank for it.
Favorite movie genre: Horror, horror, and more horror. The more disturbing, the better. Period.
