Well... the music of 1999 was fun while it lasted. Our brave hosts face the feature length version of Will Smith's version of THE SEARCHERS as unfortunately WILD WILD WEST becomes more than a strangely popular song to a justifiably unpopular film adaptation of a television seri- oh who gives a damn? This movie STINKS. Enjoy the podcast, I guess.

South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut

To top the musical stylings of Phil Collins in Disney's TARZAN we had to eventually (just under two weeks in 1999 time) get to SOUTH PARK: BIGGER, LONGER & UNCUT. Pre THE BOOK OF MORMON, Trey Parker and Matt Stone threw everything but the kitchen sink of...

To top the musical stylings of Phil Collins in Disney's TARZAN we had to eventually (just under two weeks in 1999 time) get to SOUTH PARK: BIGGER, LONGER & UNCUT. Pre THE BOOK OF MORMON, Trey Parker and Matt Stone threw everything but the kitchen sink of filth and joy at the silver screen version of their beloved animated series... and we are here to revel

Big Daddy

Adam Sandler recently had a "big" hit on Netflix with MURDER MYSTERY (many Bothan spies dies to get us those streaming metrics) but back in 1999 he was an actual movie star... where his films played in theaters... on film. Were things better back in thos...

Adam Sandler recently had a "big" hit on Netflix with MURDER MYSTERY (many Bothan spies dies to get us those streaming metrics) but back in 1999 he was an actual movie star... where his films played in theaters... on film. Were things better back in those days of BIG DADDY? One host thinks so.

An Ideal Husband

Oscar Wilde surely was a quotable sonofabitch but sometimes a man just needs to sulk in solitude. Well, find another movie because AN IDEAL HUSBAND is a charming romcom who will flirt with you until you give in to its advances. This makes the entire film...

Oscar Wilde surely was a quotable sonofabitch but sometimes a man just needs to sulk in solitude. Well, find another movie because AN IDEAL HUSBAND is a charming romcom who will flirt with you until you give in to its advances. This makes the entire film sound aggressive and somewhat criminal but if Rupert Everett, Minnie Driver, Julianne Moore, Cate

The General’s Daughter

In THE GENERAL'S DAUGHTER John Travolta has an atrocious Southern accent for a stretch of undercover work but thankfully for the enjoyment of at least one host he manages to sweat for nearly the entire runtime of this problematic thriller. Madeline Stowe...

In THE GENERAL'S DAUGHTER John Travolta has an atrocious Southern accent for a stretch of undercover work but thankfully for the enjoyment of at least one host he manages to sweat for nearly the entire runtime of this problematic thriller. Madeline Stowe attempts to be the only adult in the room as we kink-shame the Army before we really shame them for

Tarzan

As the summer movie season is wont to do, beefcakes eventually grace us with their presence on the silver screen even in lowly animated form. If that's not titillating enough... the great (and Oscar winning) Phil Collins provides the mood music for our conversation on Disney's TARZAN.

Run Lola Run

Clearly in no hurry to catch up with what the kids (okay, film snobs) were into back in 1999 we pace ourselves by finally watching RUN LOLA RUN and in the process get very, very tired. While Franka Potente would go on to bigger and better things (THE BOU...

Clearly in no hurry to catch up with what the kids (okay, film snobs) were into back in 1999 we pace ourselves by finally watching RUN LOLA RUN and in the process get very, very tired. While Franka Potente would go on to bigger and better things (THE BOURNE IDENTITY, put that in your pipe and smoke it) she would never again have such strikingly red hair.

Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me

Twenty years later and thankfully AUSTIN POWERS did not have the staying power of James Bond. But in the summer of 1999 this Mike Myers sequel THE SPY WHO SHAGGED ME earned more in its opening weekend than the original did in its entire theatrical run. Y...

Twenty years later and thankfully AUSTIN POWERS did not have the staying power of James Bond. But in the summer of 1999 this Mike Myers sequel THE SPY WHO SHAGGED ME earned more in its opening weekend than the original did in its entire theatrical run. Your two hosts differ on if it maintained its cool cult classic status but both of us agree that Heather

Limbo

David Strathairn in his tighty whities is an accurate but misleading way to sell John Sayles' LIMBO from the summer of 1999 but we hope we have your attention to give this film/episode a try. At least one of our hosts found a lot to like here and the oth...

David Strathairn in his tighty whities is an accurate but misleading way to sell John Sayles' LIMBO from the summer of 1999 but we hope we have your attention to give this film/episode a try. At least one of our hosts found a lot to like here and the other one really loved the closing song by Bruce Springsteen.

Your culturally stunted movie podcast hosts so fear covering a documentary on a Cuban music revival in BUENA VISTA SOCIAL CLUB that they are the ONLY ones reviving DVD sales/rentals of the Anthony Hopkins and Cuba Gooding Jr. starring INSTINCT.

Because we are that damn good at what we do.
