Send us a text

On August 20, 2024, Podcasters, Jordan Courtney and Nicholas Loup, recorded an episode on 1999s the Blair Witch Project. They also talked about 1999s Bats for a few minutes too for some reason. They were never heard from again. This is that recording.

Episode 82 - The Sixth Sense (1999)06 Aug 202402:39:59

Send us a text

We see dead people, and now we're arguing about them!  1999's The Sixth Sense is one of Nic's all time favorite films. Jordan thinks it's a middling affair. In our longest episode ever, the twist is that your two 90's fanatics are coming for each other's heads. Like two angry ghosts, locked in a cupboard, we claw and scratch each other wildly, until we finally get tired and move on to the spirit realm. But before that, we actually agree for a few minutes on our punishment film, 1999's Stir of Echoes, which is no punishment to us!

Episode 73 - A Perfect World (1993)23 Jan 202401:51:28

Send us a text

In A Perfect World, this would have been Episode 58 instead of Baby Geniuses, but you've got us driving this time machine, so just be glad this Ford hadn't crashed just yet. Is Costner a god, great, or even a good actor? Is Clint Eastwood immortally badass or is he a not-so-secretly artsy fartsy snowflake? Or does he just want to make his day and get home for dinner? How much Dern can a Dern Dern Dern if a Dern Dern can Dern Dern? All these questions answered (?) and more! Join us as we deconstruct Eastwood's deconstruction of the mythic-outlaw-on-the-run trope and wind up somewhere between knowing "not a damn thing" and wondering can anything really be known and therefore is the supposition of knowing that we don't know "a damn thing" even something that can be relied upon in a world filled with such chaos and violence!!! AHH...Such fun times!

Episode 72 -- Go (1999)26 Dec 202301:32:39

Send us a text

You know what wakes me up in the middle of the night covered in a cold sweat? Knowing that you aren't any worse than anyone else in your whole screwed up generation. In the old days, you know how you got to the top? Huh? By listening to Filmshake! This episode, we're talking 1999's Golp Fiction...I mean Go,  directed by Doug Liman, written by the guy who wrote Charlie's Angels and Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle.  And now the top is down here, it used to be up here... and you don't even know the  difference.

Episode 71 - Enemy of the State (1998)07 Dec 202301:38:20

Send us a text

Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean you shouldn't listen to Filmshake because we're talking Tony Scott's prescient 1998 action-thriller, Enemy of the State. Will Smith, Gene Hackman, and a Pentagon-full of well-regarded and beloved actors star in this cinematic exploration of government overreach into private citizens' privacy, and also, Jason Lee makes a brilliant exclamation about untoward things being done to a duck. Rather fittingly, yet for no good reason, Jordan and Nic approach this film as off the leash as Jon Voight with a free government pass, like this movie is the lingerie store from this movie. The only privacy left is inside your head, so listen to Filmshake!

Send us a text

We're not even supposed to be here today, but that's okay because Filmshake is covering 1994's indie-classic, Clerks! You know, there's a million fine looking women in the world, but they don't all bring you lasagna at work, and neither will we, but we will provide you 90-minutes of Clerks-centric entertainment! That also includes a little bit of  Clerks II and Clerks III discussion, as well as our usual, Happy Scrappy Hero Pup Trivia Battle. You don't wanna miss THE 90s movies podcast talking one of the most 90s 90s movies ever made! This one's personal.

Episode 69 - Hocus Pocus (1993)24 Oct 202301:27:20

Send us a text

Oh, look. Another glorious Filmshake. Makes me sick!
A virgin lit the candle, and now two men approaching middle age are talking this early 90s film made for pre-teen girls.  Do we love these three VERY theatrical, Better Midler-led witches, or do we want to burn them alive in the school furnace? Wait, did you think we were talking Clerks this week?
TRICK OR TREAT, IT'S 1993's HOCUS POCUS!
Jordan is also punished with 1989's Little Monsters. Does he think this Fred Savage-starring children's comedy is the goblin's knees, or does he want Howie Mandel to choke on Doritos?
Hey bud, the only way to find out is to listen!

Top Five Nic Cage Moments!10 Oct 202301:06:12

*     *     *

Two words: Nic Cage. Has there ever been two other words in the history of language that could contain the multitudes that these words represent? Maybe when the ancients were building the tower of Babel and the world's language was confused, there remained slivers of the pure language that contained the secrets to the universe. It's like Nic Cage knew this, changing his name from Nicolas Coppola to Nicolas Cage (after his favorite Marvel character Luke Cage). He knew he'd need to hold back that purity (put it in a Cage, if you will), because otherwise we would have built a tower to Heaven with the ridiculousness and awesomeness that is his filmography.

Maybe it can still get us there. Like to Baby-O in Con Air, Nic is here to show us that, yes, God does exist, and He loves Nic Cage.

That's good. Because we do too!

Here, the other lesser Nic and I each choose our top 5 Cage moments, ranging from the ridiculous and the over-the-top (two phrases you'll here a lot) to the...well mainly more of that. These knobs go to eleven, baby, like no other Filmshake has shaken!

Episode 68 - Dirty Work (1998)26 Sep 202301:30:11

Send us a text

Note to self: listen to Filmshake! Because this episode is one tall glass of love for all things Norm McDonald, especially 1998's Dirty Work. Fat jokes, pee jokes, prison rape jokes, and dead hooker jokes. What is this, the 90s? We even manage to throw some love (one of us more than the other) at 2000's very dumb Norm-starring comedy Screwed. All your 90s favorites are here - Chris Farley, Artie Lang, Adam Sandler, Dave Chappelle, and Bob Saget...wait what? If you like Pina Coladas...I mean, if you like any of these things, then you'll probably like this episode. If not, we just might have to hide fish in your house.

Episode 67 - Jurassic Park (1993)05 Sep 202302:00:28

Send us a text

It's an episode 65 Million Years In the Making, as the 90s Movies Podcast finally covers 1993's Jurassic Park, arguably the biggest movie of the 90s (all major theme parks have delays)! Join us and special guest, Chaz from Cinema Medicine Podcast, as we talk every single plot point of the film, how it reflects on the book, how it reflects on the other Jurassic Park films, as well as the music, the video game tie-ins, our first experience with the film, a trademark Filmshake nihilism monologue, if you want it, we got it for two hours! Life finds a way, and if it has anything to do with Jurassic Park, we'll find a way to talk about it!
We also talk our punishment film, 1992's The Lost World, which is like Jurassic Park if Jurassic Park was not good, as well as engage in an episode-ending dinosaur-centric trivia battle because we do intend to have dinosaurs on our dinosaur tour.

Episode 66 - Saving Private Ryan (1998)15 Aug 202301:51:00

Send us a text

On the 25th anniversary of its release, the two guys who brought you phrases like "brain boners," "milady, you've got the chompers of a basset hound," and "Amy want night tickle" are here to talk 1998's critically acclaimed World War II film, Saving Private Ryan.  And who better? Your gnarly boys not only breakdown the technical aspects of Steven Spielberg's direction, but somehow break into a Kantian dialogue pitting Jeremy Benthem's philosophy of Utilitarianism against classical Deontology. I'm serious.
Filmshake is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get, and we don't even care if that's the wrong Tom Hanks movie. You also get, very briefly, discussion about our punishment film, 2005's The Great Raid, and of course, as always, an episode-ending trivia battle to the death.
Filmshake: We're FUBAR...but in a good way!

Episode 65 -- Last Action Hero (1993)25 Jul 202301:56:35

Send us a text

"He's mean, and he'll blast through your screen!" but that's okay, you don't need a screen for Filmshake, cuz we're a podcast, and we're talking 1993's Last Action Hero on its 30th anniversary. We'll try to decide if this *DEEP BREATH*  fantasy action comedy drama deserved to flop harder than Lebron James at the box office (that joke means two things now!), or if it's actually an unsung gem, like Space Jam: A New Legacy  (lol, just kidding Lebron). To find out, we've brought on the world's preeminent Last Action Hero expert, Jackson Boren, to let us know if Arnold Schwarzenegger's venture into the meta should have been a hit (like Michael Jordan's Space Jam) and Jackson's brought a friend. That friend is our punishment film, Arnie's lone directorial effort, 1992's made for TV romantic comedy remake, Christmas in Connecticut. Does it stand on its own two feet, or does it fall violently to the ground at the mere sight of an elbow, like Lebron does? Only one way to find out! Listen to this episode (unless you're Lebron*)!

*Just kidding, Lebron, you can listen, but find a chair first.

It may be rainin' but there's a rainbow above you, you better let somebody love you before it's too late OR SCREW ALL THAT, WHO CARES ABOUT LOVE! LISTEN TO FILMSHAKE INSTEAD! It's the 4th of July, and we're talking 1995's Desperado, which seemed a hell of a lot cooler way back when the Eagles did their FIRST farewell tour, but now that they're on their 60th farewell tour, and Jordan and Nic are a lot older and wiser, does Antonio Banderas not aiming at anyone and still somehow perfectly bullseyeing bad guys who aim right at his chest and can't even hit him with shrapnel sandwiching a sex scene with Salma Hayek that plays like a parody of Last Tango in Paris still look cool?
Let's find out together!
Also, to hit on all of Robert Rodriguez' Mexico Trilogy (maybe we should have dropped this episode on May 5), we briefly talk 1992's El Mariachi and and even more briefly talk about 2003's Once Upon A Time in Mexico before engaging in a trivia battle that turns out even worse than 2003's Once Upon A Time in Mexico.
Now it seems to me some fine things have been laid upon your table, SO QUIT RIDING FENCES AND LISTEN TO FILMSHAKE!

Send us a text

Trust no one, except for Filmshake, the 90s Movies Podcast, as this episode we're covering 1998's The X-Files, aka The X-Files: Fight the Future.  Nic, a lifelong, diehard X-Phile, wants to believe that Jordan will enjoy this film, his first ever X-Files experience. Does Mulder and Scully's late 90s big screen foray hold up 25 years later?
Also, even Nic can't put faith in 2008's The X-Files: I Want to Believe, this episode's punishment film. He does believe in Jordan, though, who fights for the ultimate trivia redemption in the episode-ending challenge. 
The Truth Is Filmshake!

Sufferin succotash! It's 2023 and we're covering 1993's Hot Shots Part Deux, which means it's been 30 years since Charlie Sheen worked out nine hours a day for months to fire a rubber chicken from a bow and arrow.  Our guest, Doug McCambridge, from Good Times Great Movies also has to come along because it's a sequel. Doug, however, only wants to pass Part Deux like the world's largest kidney stone, so he can talk our punishment film, 1986's The Wraith, which Charlie Sheen did not work out nine hours a day for, but did film all his scenes in just one day as he was passing through town. Alka Seltzer!

Nic and Jordan's Top Five 80's Movies!29 Mar 202301:31:01

Send us a text

Say what? You mean Nic and Jordan don't exclusively watch 90's movies? C'mon! They're dead to me. 90's 4 life. But I guess I might as well listen to this bonus episode where they get busy each making a list of their top five 80's faves, no matter how populist or blockbustery that might shake out to be. Between all these films covered, you'd have enough blue smoke, prosthetic makeup, and K-Y jelly to choke a xenomorph! Honestly, you could do that with just one of these films, but still. Lots of atmosphere here in these parts, be it wacky or just downright dystopian. The Harrison Ford love-fest also continues strong, but which movies will be chosen? Enjoy and let us know your top five 80's films! It ain't the 90's, but it pretty dang good!

What's this? A Best Picture nominee? How did this get in here?!
This episode, just in time for St. Patrick's Day, Filmshake talks about an all-time 90's great, 1993's The Fugitive. Does it dye our river green? Does it do a Peter Pan right off our dam? Does it ride the elevated train into our hearts? Wait, who else is there with you, The Fugitive? Is that 1994's Leprechaun 2 as the episode-opening punishment film? Now that sounds like Filmshake.

Magnolia. Fight Club. The MatrixBaby Geniuses? From possibly the finest year in film comes 95-minutes of cinematic  spit up. 1999's Baby Geniuses defies all convention and standards of decency for so many loads of diaper gravy, Jordan and Nic can do nothing but have fun with this bizarrely poop-obsessed patron request. Speaking of babies, our two Baby Geniuses-surviving hosts also talk 1993's straight-to-video baby dinosaur romp, Prehysteria!, for a few minutes, though this punishment film feels like Citizen Kane next to Baby Geniuses, the Citizen Kane of crap.
Baby Geniuses ' poster may tout that "naps are history," but our diaper gravy-induced nightmares will last forever.

Episode 57 - The Cutting Edge (1992)24 Jan 202301:36:40

Send us a text

The Ultimate Love/Skate Relationship might just be between Jordan and Nic, as they rather fittingly have a rather fiery argument about the 1992 romantic comedy, The Cutting Edge. One host thinks this film about bickering figure skaters who fall in love is the best romantic comedy he's ever seen, while the other just thinks it's a rambling, mediocre mess. Will our hosts reconcile by the end to win the gold, or will their anger boil over into an ice-melting inferno?!
They also talk about not only 2006's straight to DVD sequel, The Cutting Edge: Going for the Gold, but the The Cutting Edge 3 and The Cutting Edge 4...because one of them watched both of those too for some reason.
The wintry war of words climaxes in the episode-ending trivia battle, where one of the questions is literally "At what minute and second mark does the alligator show up on screen in the Hallmark Channel original film, My Southern Family Christmas," because this is THAT kind of episode.

Send us a text

You know, there's something very important that we need to do as soon as possible. F...ilmshake. Right before we ring in 2023, we're ringing every masked ounce out of Stanley Kubrick's 1999 swansong, Eyes Wide Shut.  No dream is ever just a dream, but is this movie a masterpiece, or is every touch of perceived meticulous genius just a meticulous aesthetic choice made solely for the sake of aesthetics? Also, we're talking 1983’s BMX Bandits, where a teenaged Nicole Kidman rides around with some bicycle blokes to fight crime. Only on Filmshake...seriously, only on Filmshake.

Send us a text

It's one of those days when it's a minute away from snowing and there's this electricity in the air, you can almost hear Filmshake, right? We're  just dancing with you, talking 1999's American Beauty, like a little kid, begging you to play with it. For two hours. This is the day you might realize that this entire movie might not be as good as you remember, and this incredibly benevolent force, i.e. Filmshake, wants you to know there is no reason to be afraid, ever. Video's a poor excuse, we know, which is why you should listen to us instead. We help you remember the 90s...you need to remember...the 90s. Sometimes there's so much 90s in the world, we feel like we can't take it, and our heart is just going to cave in.
Also, for a minute, we choke the bishop about our punishment movie, 1999's In Dreams. Quit chafing your carrot and listen.

Hold it right there. I knew it was you. I could smell you getting off the elevator. While you're here, check out the latest Filmshake, where we're talking 1992's Home Alone 2 for that many hours. We could go on forever, baby! Our four-flushing carcasses also talk 1997's lousy, lying, lowdown Home Alone 3 for a minute, or rather, Nic does, as he lost the last trivia battle. Will he lose an unprecedented two trivia battles in a row? Maybe we're off our hinges, but listen now to find out!
MERRY CHRISTMAS, YOU FILTHY ANIMALS! AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Also, this is Home Alone 2 's 30th anniversary. 1992 was 30 years ago.

Episode 54 - Can't Hardly Wait (1998) and Dead Man on Campus (1998)15 Nov 202201:43:57

Send us a text

You know Filmshake. We're tall. We're kinda kinda tall. We're sorta tall. And we're like always wearing t-shirts. Sometimes. But this time, we're talking 1998's Can't Hardly Wait and Dead Man on Campus with author, Matt Pais. Matt talks his new book, Talk 90's With Me, and then we discuss these two kinda kinda shining examples of late 90's youth culture. It seems some of us really miss 1998.
Speaking of miss, guess who loses the episode-ending trivia battle? He's tall. Kinda kinda tall.

Episode 53 - Night of the Demons 2 (1994)25 Oct 202201:30:56

Send us a text

Were you planning on going to the school dance this Halloween? That's lame! You should throw a party in a disgusting, abandoned morgue on the outskirts of town instead!...or you could listen to Filmshake. We're talking 1994's Night of the Demons 2, where some stupid, horny teenagers decide to throw a party in a disgusting, abandoned morgue on the outskirts of town instead of going to the school dance. We also talk the original 1988 Night of the Demons, where some stupid, horny teenagers throw a party in a disgusting, abandoned morgue on the outskirts of town instead of going to the school dance. For no apparent reason, Nic also recaps 1997's Night of the Demons 3, and 2009's Night of the Demons remake, where some stupid, horny teenagers throw a party in a disgusting, abandoned morgue on the outskirts of town instead of...
There's also the episode-ending trivia battle, which may be more horrific than every Night of the Demons movie combined.

Send us a text

The President recently declared the national pandemic over, but does he even 90s?! Doesn't he know we're just one South American spider away from an eight-legged army biting us all to oblivion? What about Motaba-infected monkeys that will always be there for you with a highly-contagious, eye-bleeding virus? Hasn't he ever watched 1990's Arachnophobia? Hasn't he ever seen 1995's Outbreak? Well we have, and we're here to talk about them with our bug spray and tranquilizer darts in hand...but will we use these implements of pandemic prevention on each other in our episode-ending trivia battle? Is humanity the real virus?!
Only Filmshake can provide the answers to these questions.

Send us a text

It's our Ninjasode! Even if we weren't a podcast where you literally can't see us, you literally wouldn't be able to see us because of the skills we learned from Jubei in 1993's Ninja Scroll, and Tone Loc and Rob Schneider in 1993's Surf Ninjas! We can throw ninja stars! We can make ourselves invisible! Wait, Jubei's actually a samurai and Tone Loc is just a rapping police officer? Rob Schneider doesn't even know karate?! We've been lied to!!!
That's okay because this episode is awesome. Jordan and Nic talk about their history with anime, their anime favorites, and the two movies above. There's even a special "lightning round" version of their usual trivia battle. They might not be ninjas, but no one can argue against this fact: they are indeed podcasters...and you cannot see them.

Episode 50 - Clear and Present Danger (1994)23 Aug 202201:56:42

Send us a text

Executive Orders state that you must listen to Filmshake’s new episode on 1994’s Clear and Present Danger. You must fulfill your debt of honor and listen to Jordan Courtney and Nicholas Loup discuss this Harrison Ford action flick that Nic loves with the net force of a thousand Red Octobers. Listen without remorse as they briefly discuss how 2002’s The Sum of All Fears is not as good as Clear and Present Danger, then face off in a brutal trivia battle where either could end up dead or alive, as they fight with the fury of a bear and a dragon in their violent patriot games. Will there be six rainbows in the sky after their vicious battle to prove who is the real cardinal of the kremlin? Is this episode description making Tom Clancy roll over in his grave, or is his ghost recon just happy we didn’t try to shoehorn Armored Cav: A Guided Tour of an Armored Cavalry Regiment into it?

Pop quiz, hotshot. There's a podcast on a bus. Once the bus goes 50 miles an hour, the podcast is armed. If it drops below 50, the podcast blows up. What do you do? WHAT DO YOU DO?!
You listen to Filmshake, the 90's Movies Podcast, and their new episode on 1994's Speed, one of the greatest action movies of all time. We've got special guest, Jackson Boren, as our hostage, but instead of shooting him, we just talk about how awesome Speed is and how not awesome Speed 2: Cruise Control is for longer than it takes to drive the 105 in rush hour...which I guess would just be an hour? We're Filmshake, not Mathshake.

Filmshake will tell YOU when we've had enough! This week, by listener request, we're covering 1995 Oscar winner, Leaving Las Vegas. We can quit whenever we want, but we're also covering 2006's Wicker Man for a minute too because the performances of Sir Nicolas Cage are an addictive substance.
Officer, I promise, we're only covering two movies. Okay, maybe we're covering three, as Jordan also briefly recaps the original 1973 Wicker Man
Throw back another Filmshake! We (probably) won't give you a hangover.

Send us a text

We're back and ready to stab your ears with the sound of our sweet voices. Join us with guest, and longtime friend, Jon Peterson, as John Waters' 1994 black comedy, Serial Mom, metaphorically gives us a fruitcake and then backs right over us. To open up the episode, though, we're hard on Waters' Pecker from 1998. Huge shocker, it's not as good as Serial Mom, but it's the punishment film for a reason...but the punishment at the end of this episode's trivia battle is worse than wearing white shoes after Labor Day, or *GASP* NOT RECYCLING!!!

We also talk about 2020's Fatman, a serious family drama where Mel Gibson plays a gun-toting Santa Claus with a drinking problem.

Solarbabies from 1986?! I thought this was a 90's Movies Podcast? Well it is, except on April 1, 2022, when we switched places with Good Times Great Movies, the 80's Movies Podcast.  If you heard our last episode, on 1997's Spice World and 1992's Stop Or My Mom Will Shoot, you may have noticed GTGM's Doug and Jamie behind the microphones instead of us, unless that was your first episode of Filmshake, in which case, that was GTGM's Doug and Jamie behind the microphones instead of us. Meanwhile on their show, we talked Solarbabies, and we were so happy with that conversation, we asked GTGM if they'd be okay with us posting it here. They were, and so here it is in all its inane glory!
Post apocalyptic teenagers roller skating across the desert?
A nonsensical plot supported by even more nonsensical lore?
A sadomasochistic torture robot named Terminack in a movie made for children?
This movie has it all!

For years, listeners have been asking Filmshake, "When are you gonna cover 1997's Spice World?" Well, your Filmshake prayers have finally been answered...with a cruel April Fools twist!... because Spice World is only the opening course for our main dish, 1992's Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot. Which of these films has a worse script? Which has worse dialogue? Which is less funny? What happens when our hosts don't agree on whether or not both of these are even bad? Is anything real?

Episode 43 -- The Matchmaker (1997)08 Mar 202201:26:19

Send us a text

In 1847, Martin Glynn sailed from Galway, Ireland, so that his great-great grandson, Nic, could one day honor his Irish legacy, by co-hosting a podcast focused upon the 1997 cinematic sleeper, The Matchmaker, and 2000's Leprechaun in the Hood. Why would you ever kiss the Blarney Stone for luck, when you could listen to Jordan Courtney compare a woman's smile to the anatomy of a Basset Hound? Yes, it's a St. Patrick's Day spectacular, as only Filmshake can do, a veritable four-leaf clover of audio perfection. You'll be Dublin over with laughter. Yes...Dublin over...we write these descriptions ourselves.
Also, there's a pot of gold at the end of this podcast rainbow in the form of the episode-closing trivia battle. Will Jordan finally experience the luck of the Irish, or will he go out like that thing James Joyce 's wife did that he liked.

The most well-rounded movie podcast returns with an episode that's sure to rack up accolades.  Within the firm-wired support of Filmshake, Jordan and Nic use 1996's Barb Wire as a buoyant excuse to talk about the first time Nic saw a naked woman, the time ten-year-old Jordan's Dad took him to see Barb Wire, and something that Nic did in a cornfield, which also relates to the first time Nic saw a naked woman--anything to avoid talking about the actual plot of 1996's Barb Wire. Jugs of pertinent information bounce right out of your favorite podcast hosts' mouths, virtually none of it even orbiting the globes of 1996's Barb Wire. Motor-boat as fast as you can to your nearest podcast provider, today! Be knockers on the door of our podcast glory...

Also, Jordan and Nic talk for a minute about 1987's The Running Man, mostly about how much they wish this episode was actually about The Running Man, while closing the episode with their most titillating trivia battle yet.

Send us a text

Hey, Bra! Filmshake is poised to become the most popular podcast on Earth by taking to the sky! ...or by covering the highly underrated, should-be beloved rollerblading teen dramedy, 1993's Airborne. Can the skateboarding Jordan "rollerblades are lame" Courtney find acceptance in his heart for a movie about in-line skating? Does Nic really think that a movie featuring an "I'm Too Sexy" wardrobe montage ends with one of the greatest action scenes of the 90's? Well, we kind of gave that away in the third sentence.
Also, we kick off the show with the non-punishment film, 1989's Gleaming the Cube, to make sure that skateboarding gets some representation too. Man wasn't meant to fly, but Filmshake was!

Merry Christmas/Happy Hanukkah/Blessed non-religious secular holiday celebration! Our gift to you is a two-hour long Batman Returns episode! What present could be better than the ultimate Filmshake experience, where Nic essentially equates a 1992 film where the lead character dresses like a bat and another dresses in a leather catsuit with the best works of Fritz Lang, while Jordan points out that the vast majority of that film's dialogue revolves around genitalia. Are you in the mood for Nic to once again bring the holidays down with talks of depression and bleak darkness? Can Jordan ever get him to stop talking? You've got to listen to the most Filmshake episode of Filmshake ever!
Also, we talk for a few moments about 1990's Captain America, which...isn't as good as Tim Burton's Batman Returns...or most movies. And last but not least, we're joined by another special guest for the episode-ending trivia battle. It's gonna be a hot time on the cold town tonight...and we do have a dark side.

Stardate...2021...Jordan Courtney and Nicholas Loup watch 1991's...Star Trek VI...The Undiscovered Country. One of the two is a Trekkie, but the other...just...doesn't...care. Beam yourself up to some classic Filmshake goodness, even if you don't know the difference between a Klingon and a Klingoff.
Also, set phasers to soft, gauzy lighting because the punishment movie to kick off this episode is 1996's Anna Nicole Smith-starring Skyscraper. We thought this would just be a stupid, goofy Die Hard ripoff, and it is, but it's also a softcore pornography. There's nothing softcore about this episode's trivia battle though, as Nic boldy asks trivia questions no man (or...anyone) would know the answers to. The Prime Directive dictates you warp ten this episode into your ears. Engage!

Send us a text

Here's the sitch: this episode, Filmshake's covering 1992's Buffy the Vampire Slayer...the movie, not the TV show, NIC!
To kick things off, Nic reports on his punishment film, the 1993 Cory Haim comedy Just One of the Girls, where Haim dresses up like a cheerleader to evade his high school bullies. We then naturally segue into more cheerleading and back to some bloodsucking with Buffy. Listen, as Jordan chides Nic continually for talking about the TV show and not the movie, while Nic can't quite escape the looming spectre of Joss Whedon. Meanwhile, Jordan connects with Buffy and their shared interest in a certain celebrity heartthrob. Capping it off with their usual trivia battle, Nic seethes with a vampiric vengeance for his loss to the cryptkeeper last time. Can Jordan prevail against such diabolical rage? Especially having never seen two 80's sci-fi staples? Find out on Filmshake! We're Pert, Wholesome, and Way Lethal!

Episode 35 - The 13th Warrior (1999)21 Sep 202101:31:54

Join Filmshake, as we venture into ancient history with a 90’s Michael Crichton adaptation. No, not THAT one! Instead of dinosaurs, we’re talking the Vikings, bear monsters, beheadings, and Arab poets of 1999’s The 13th Warrior. Does this epic box office flop deserve its bad wrap, or does it deserve to take its place as a useful servant of cinema?

Also, for at least the first ten minutes, we’re talking Jordan’s punishment movie, 2003’s Timeline. Does he actually enjoy this (other) maligned Crichton adaptation, and will he finally redeem his trivia shame? They say a spoonful weighs a Crichton, and we’re chugging it all down like a fine glass of mead on the newest episode of Filmshake!

Music featured this episode:
Jerry Goldsmith — “The Sword Maker”
Jerry Goldsmith — “A Useful Servant”

Have to fly, have to fight, have to crow, HAVE TO LISTEN TO FILMSHAKE’S NEW episode on 1991’s Hook. We asked our patrons to pick the flick for this episode, and Hook was the winner. NeitherJordan, nor Nic was looking forward to watching and talking about Robin Williams’ trip to Steven Spielberg’s  Neverland, but then, over the course of this two-hour conversation…something bangarang happened…

Also, after letting Jordan win trivia for once, Nic reports back on Spielberg’s not-so-bangarang 1979 stinker, 1941. But in this episode’s fair-and-square battle, who will be the victor, and who will have…
BAD FORM?

Music featured in this episode:
John Williams — “Remembering Childhood”
John Williams— “Farewell Neverland”
