The Client (1994) — Darkest “Kid Movie” Ever?! | The VHS Club Ep 128

This week on The VHS Club, we’re cracking open the legal thriller The Client (1994)… and asking one big question:


Why is this movie about a kid SO intense?!


Starring Brad Renfro, Susan Sarandon, and Tommy Lee Jones, this 90s courtroom drama somehow became a core childhood memory for way too many of us. From mob secrets and FBI pressure to one very stressed-out lawyer, this movie does NOT hold back.


In this episode, we’re breaking down:

  • How wild it is that a kid is at the center of this story
  • Susan Sarandon absolutely carrying the movie
  • The courtroom drama vs. psychological thriller vibes
  • Whether this still holds up… or hits different now

Be honest 👇

Did The Client mess you up as a kid… or were you totally fine watching this at age 10?
