99 from 99

A little more time traveling in this one as we take a look not only at Robert Altman's 1999 film COOKIE'S FORTUNE (as every podcast is doing these days) along with some of his other work. Unfortunately for one host that's mainly GOSFORD PARK, and unfortunately for the other host he has to listen to the complaints of a simpleton about it. …

For this episode of time traveling back to 1999 we play the ultimate hipster card and wonder if Christopher Nolan was overrated with his very first film: FOLLOWING. We've had twenty years to think on it (see how hip we were then and now we are just old and disgusting) and probably are no closer to a conclusion but we do have a thirty minute podcast for…

Twenty years later two middle-aged men celebrate Valentine's Day with the classic (?) teen romcom 10 THINGS I HATE ABOUT YOU. Just like every other middle-aged man is doing across this great nation. Snark aside, although this Julia Stiles/Heath Ledger starring film is full of it, we are curious how this film plays differently from our teenage years and…

On this episode we truly live up to our premise of returning to simper times at the movies. For example, a time when there was only THE MATRIX and only a dream of reloaded revolutions. Unfortunately for one host this is the film he has dreaded revisiting the most as it may be a reminder of all those wasted hours of youth with Trinity and Neo. …

We return from our exhausting publicity tour for the first 12 episodes of this podcast with our masterpiece... coming shortly after this one on the Radiohead documentary MEETING PEOPLE IS EASY. This almost lost recording (and wouldn't you all be so thankful) talks about the strange marketing positioning that rock bands find themselves in when a rock doc is…

This is A Very Special Episode of 99 FROM 99 as one host has subtitled it Great Directors Doing Their Worst Work... so doesn't that make you excited to hear our discussion on Clint Eastwood's TRUE CRIME and Ron Howard's EDtv? Fear not as there is some joy to be found, such as Mr. …

We hoped you saved room for a helping of more 99 FROM 99. This time we turn back to failed film in 1999 that had all the makings of a cult classic upon its release, and RAVENOUS does not disappoint as we follow Guy Pearce and Robert Carlyle in this strange cannibal buddy comedy from Antonia Bird. …

We hustle our listeners to yet another episode on the films from 1999... although on this one we are keeping in tradition of this one arriving a bit later to the States, so yes, for you sticklers out there this is originally a 1998 film. But no matter! Celebrate with us the arrival of future action star Jason Statham in the movie that started his career as…

On our latest episode of 99 FROM 99, one host discovers some disturbing secrets about his co-host. All will be revealed in this episode on guilty pleasure CRUEL INTENTIONS! Namely that one host disagrees with the verdict of feeling guilt for enjoying this look at the cutthroat world of the powerful and wealthy transported to the realm of high school drama…

Just when we think we are out, the mob entertainment of 1999 pulls us back in for the Robert De Niro/Billy Crystal comedy ANALYZE THIS and James Gandolfini in the start of TV's modern Golden Age THE SOPRANOS. The latter caused one host to pass on the former Harold Ramis film until the recording for this podcast, while the other host took a pass on David…
