Episode 30: RoboCrap (Inspector Gadget)

Episode 31

Wednesday, December 29, 2021 • Duration 01:59:53

We are back just in time for the holidays to talk about one of the lesser projects to hit screens in 1999, Inspector Gadget starring Matthew Broderick and Rupert Everett. Jared and Andrew talk about why fans of the cartoon were irritated with this movie when it came out, where the story and utilization of the classic cartoon characters went very wrong, and reminisce about that amazing McDonald's Happy Meal Toy promotion that came out along with movie's release all those years ago.

Next time: The Story of Us starring Bruce Willis and Michelle Pfeiffer!

Episode 29: America's Spookiest Home Videos (The Blair Witch Project)

Episode 30

Sunday, October 31, 2021 • Duration 03:00:52

After some time off, we are back (and not with Inspector Gadget, sorry!) In honor of Halloween, we are covering what is perhaps the biggest horror film, and one of the biggest overall films of 1999: The Blair Witch Project. We talk about how this film came to be and why the creators decided to create their own "Blair Witch", the unique audition process for this movie, and how the film's cast of three pretty much made every bit of dialogue up on the spot. Happy Halloween, everyone!

Next time: Inspector Gadget.

Episode 20: Die Hard With A Penance (End of Days)

Episode 22

Friday, January 1, 2021 • Duration 01:49:35

What better way to say goodbye to 2020 and hello to the New Year than with a film that pits Arnold Schwarzenegger against Satan? We can't think of a better way, so we're talking about End of Days, the action/horror flick starring Arnold himself and Gabriel Byrne! We talk about why there was such a rush to make this movie before the end of 1999, why critics weren't big fans of the film, and why Arnold was disappointed in the final product. We also go off on a few tangents, as per usual. Enjoy and Happy New Year!

Next episode: we talk about the rom-com The Other Sister, starring Juliette Lewis.

Episode 19: Home Video For The Holidays (Mickey's Once Upon A Christmas)

Episode 21

Friday, December 25, 2020 • Duration 01:50:36

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, everyone! As a special Christmas episode, we are talking about our first straight-to-video film from 1999, Disney's Mickey's Once Upon A Christmas! We get deep into the history of how straight-to-video Disney films came to be, why voice actors have some of the best careers in Hollywood, and a fact that made Andrew extremely happy when researching this episode.

Next week, we will return for our last episode of 2020 with the Arnold Schwarzenneger sci-fi/horror New Year's Eve film, End of Days.

Episode 18: Once Upon A Lime In Hollywood (The Limey)

Episode 20

Friday, December 18, 2020 • Duration 02:41:54

This week, we venture from England to Los Angeles to check in with Steven Soderbergh's cult classic, The Limey! We talk about the conflicting visions of the film between Soderbergh and screenwriter Lem Dobbs, how the editing process was so unique for this film, and whether or not this film would have worked if the script stayed exactly as Dobbs had envisioned it. It's a fascinating look at an intriguing film, so we hope you enjoy!

Next week: just in time for the holidays, our first straight-to-video film. Disney's Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas!

Episode 17: Dazed & Bemused (Trippin')

Episode 19

Friday, December 4, 2020 • Duration 02:05:28

This week, we head back to high school for 1999's Trippin', starring Deon Richmond and Donald Faison! We talk about how little information there is about this movie that's currently out there, we give an abridged version of black history in cinema, and discuss why there is always a huge agreement gap between critics and fans when it comes to high-school/teen comedies. Plus, we talk about one of the most absurd (and absolutely real) video games we've ever come across.

Next week: Steven Soderbergh's The Limey, starring Terence Stamp.

Episode 16: The Perks Of Being A Benchwarmer (Varsity Blues)

Episode 18

Friday, November 20, 2020 • Duration 01:57:28

This week, we finally travel down to West Caanan, Texas to meet up with the team in 1999's sports dramedy Varsity Blues! We talk about why high school football was (and continues to be) such a big deal in certain parts of the United States, how the film is far different on-screen than how it was marketed to audiences, and we learn what a Sports Coordinator does on the set of a film!

Next week: 1999's Trippin'!

Episode 15: Little Fliers Everywhere (Election)

Episode 17

Friday, October 30, 2020 • Duration 02:29:55

Hey! So remember how we said we were gonna do Varisty Blues for our next episode? Yeah, sorry about that. That's NEXT week. Given that the most important U.S. election of our lifetime is coming up this Tuesday, we thought it would be a good idea to revisit Alexander Payne's 1999 black-comedy, Election, starring Matthew Broderick and Reese Witherspoon. We talk about the biggest differences between the original novel and the movie, how the movie has aged over time, and why the comparison between every female politician and Tracy Flick needs to be retired. Also, we talk about the importance of voting. If you are in the United States, GO AND VOTE.

Visit whenweallvote.org and votesaveamerica.com for more information on voting. Stay safe, and make your voices heard this Tuesday (or earlier, if you can!)

Next episode: we head to Texas for the teen sports dramedy Varsity Blues!

Episode 14: Save The Last Danzón (Buena Vista Social Club)

Episode 16

Friday, September 25, 2020 • Duration 01:25:31

This week, we're getting our passports and traveling to Cuba! We discuss the Wim Wenders'-directed documentary Buena Vista Social Club on this week's episode of the podcast. We talk about the tight conditions under which Wenders had to film the documentary, why there was an issue with the term "world music" at the time of this films' release, and you get to hear Jared mispronounce a bunch of names! It's a fun episode.

Next episode: we head back to the United States (Texas, to be more specific) for the teen romantic comedy Varsity Blues!

Episode 13: The Bedchamber of Secrets (The End of the Affair)

Episode 15

Friday, September 11, 2020 • Duration 02:15:08

This week, we explored Neil Jordan's romantic period-piece, The End of the Affair, starring Ralph Fiennes and Julianne Moore! We talk about the films' massive attention to detail with costumes and set design, the similarities between this film and its previous adaptations, as well as a rather creepy website we found about "boy actors". No, we're not kidding....but you'll have to listen to find out more!
