99 from 99

The movie event from 1999 in 2019 is finally here. The film that may very well be the reason that one host agreed to produce 100 podcasts just as yet another excuse to bask in the glory of a classic romcom. Julia Roberts is at the peak of her movie star powers in Richard Curtis and Roger Michell's NOTTING HILL. …

This episode features a little known but much beloved film from an arthouse filmmaker who finally made good on his promise to tell a family melodrama in STAR WARS: EPISODE I - THE PHANTOM MENACE. One host finds George Lucas to be a tragic figure and the other tells him to wipe away his tears with billions of dollars. But both think this movie is fine. …

What Tom Cruise couldn't do... Brendan Fraser did back in 1999. His version of THE MUMMY (along with some other fine people like Rachel Weisz) provided the playbook of comedy and action that Marvel has used to great success in their cinematic universe. But this podcast isn't about the cinema hellscape that we currently live in. No! …

Not a day has gone by in the twenty years since the release of David Mamet's THE WINSLOW BOY that a co-worker, a neighbor, or even someone in your own home has debated the merits of this particular case. That case would be of... THE WINSLOW BOY. So for this episode we present to you our version of the events (and we know you've heard many on practically…

We put on our best catsuit and get the lighting just right for our laser show of an episode which unfortunately for one host features little sex and for the other host it's even more unfortunate that the selected feature film is ENTRAPMENT. What you have here are two very disappointed men... broadcasting to very dedicated but also equally disappointed…

As if the stresses of producing the world's greatest podcast on COOKIE'S FORTUNE wasn't enough (twice no less!) on this episode we decided to tackle the world of flight controllers as presented in Mike Newell's PUSHING TIN. Starring John Cusack and Billy Bob Thornton as men who decide that having people's lives in their hands isn't enough to worry about so…

We know everyone is always ready for not only electing our fine representatives but also the coverage that precedes it. Which is why the hero we need right now is Reese Witherspoon as The Great Tracy Flick in the 1999 film ELECTION. Along the way we reminisce on our high school days and the immense power of class president that slipped through our fingers…

If four episodes in four days from 99 FROM 99 doesn't make you question reality then maybe our selected double feature will. In the original version of VANILLA SKY (OPEN YOUR EYES for us dumb Kentuckians) we find the same vain men that you are used to on this very podcast finding comeuppance in a mixture of heartbreak and Ted Williams pseudo-science. …

Apparently the greatest disappointment of 1999 wouldn’t come until 2019 when one of our intrepid hosts would rediscover the Drew Barrymore romcom NEVER BEEN KISSED and discover just what an angry old man he has become.

Enjoy! …

Two middle-aged men try to relive the youth of 1999 cinema with the King of PULP FICTION heirs in GO from John August and Doug Liman. Then it's on to the place where everyone goes to party... Salt Lake City. Thankfully it features one of the finer performances from a SCREAM killer alum (spoiler, maybe? …
