Filmshake - The ‘90s Movies Podcast – Details, episodes & analysis

Ghost. Pretty Woman. Hardware. Robot Jox. When we set out to cover 1990 movies this year, we meant the big ones. We also meant Hardware and Robot Jox. Movies that made hundreds of millions of dollars. Movies that...didn't. Still, our main feature, Richard Stanley's Hardware, is more than worth watching. Not only does it feature a killer robot who leaves behind rivers of gore, but it features themes and cultural commentary that are strangely prescient. Then there's Robot Jox. People in spandex, controlling giant robots to determine the fate of nations. Robot Jox. When we say "Only on Filmshake," we mean "Only on Filmshake."

Seinfeld. The Dick Van Dyke Show. Filmshake. All have reached at least 100 episodes. After six years, we have finally made it. For our 100th episode, we're talking 1990's seminal horror thriller, Jacob's Ladder. Hehe, we said seminal.

Filmshake is Wild at Heart and Weird on Top! But if you've listened to us for even five minutes you already knew that. This episode, we're talking 1990s David Lynch quasi-road movie, Wild at Heart. It's got Filmshake favorites, Nicolas Cage and Laura Dern, but do we like it? Well, one of us thinks it's..."yucky." And fair warning: he says "yucky" about this movie as many times as Lynch references The Wizard of Oz IN this movie. 

We also talk our punishment film, 1990's Nuns on the Run. Just who are these nuns, and why are they on the run, anyway? Only one way to find out! Watch the movie? No, that's yucky! Listen to Filmshake!

Our 90's adventure begins with a Fallen Warrior review of 1990's infamous Troll 2 (worst movie ever made?). Then it's off to 1991 with Kathryn Bigelow's Point Break, starring Keanu Reeves and Patrick Swayze. Join us as we dive into this adrenaline-soaked action flick (featuring surfing bank robbers, brah!) which is not so young anymore, not so dumb actually, and has a surprisingly minimal amount of bodily fluids onscreen. Plus, whoever loses today's trivia round at the end of the show will be forced to watch...Point Break...the 2015 remake. *gasp!*

Right after one of your co-hosts was at death's door, we're back and talking 1990's Ghost! Is a dead Patrick Swayze better than a live anybody? Is a short-haired Demi Moore better than a long-haired anyone? Is Tony Goldwyn? We answer all these questions and more, and even try to talk about our awful punishment film, the not so gnarly 1990 non-comedic flop, Ghost Dad. It's time for Filmshake, the 90s Movies Podcast!

It's groundhog decade, baby! We're back in time to 1990! Starting off this year of all 1990 films strong with a childhood favorite - Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles! How bad did we want to be juvenile delinquents when we saw the foot clan's hideout filled with arcade games and halfpipes? How bad do we want to give April O'neil a shoulder rub? How awesome is that farm sequence when the turtles are near defeat! All this and more on this 90-minute episode of Filmshake! And by more, we mean we also talk about our "punishment" film, 1990's Spaced Invaders, a time capsule itself into 80s-flavored goofball aliens that are just as green, animatronic, and violent as our beloved turtles. Grab a slice of pizza, hop on your skateboard, and come cruise the audio-sewers of our nostalgia-filled deep dive! Plus a trivia battle to cap it all off, filled with a ghostly hunk and one of the Frog brothers! Long live the '90s!

"Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1987 TV series) Theme" -- Chuck Lorre and Dennis C. Brown

Filmshake's year of 1999 ends with one of 1999's final releases, The Green Mile. Your hosts were so emotionally devastated by this film 25 years ago that they haven't had the heart to venture back to it...until now. But this isn't just an episode on The Green Mile...it's a culmination of everything Filmshake has done this year...which means it's time for one more cell-rattling argument! But before your hosts can fight over anything, they have to discuss this episode's punishment film: the incredible, incredibly bad 1999 Mortal Kombat-inspired "techno-future" softcore and swords adaptation of Beowulf! 
It's two movies that will inspire two completely different uses of tissues...and it's only on Filmshake!

Jordan and Nic return to unwrap 1999s The Mummy. However, it seems that they'd much rather unwrap Rachel Weisz! Listen as two grown men who have produced children fawn over a woman from a 25-year-old movie as if they've never even seen a woman before! Marvel as they somehow discuss Rachel Weisz Esquire Magazine covers almost as much as the actual film! Sure, they talk about The Mummy...and it's not too great sequel, 2001's The Mummy Returns...but Rachel Weisz is also in The Mummy Returns! Did you know that in 2010, a United Kingdom publication declared that Rachel Weisz is the woman most men want to marry? Tune in to hear an avalanche of more facts about how desirable Rachel Weisz is...and stick around for The Mummy talk!

The name's The 90s Movies Podcast. Filmshake, The 90s Movies Podcast. And if you expect us to talk, you're in luck because we're back and talking 1999s Bond film The World Is Not Enough, and it's shocking, positively shocking.
To kick things off though, we quickly recap our dreadful punishment film that most definitely does not have the Midas touch, 1999s exorable North Korean animated flick, The Legend of the Titanic, one of the worst films ever made. Then we move on to our perfectly rounded conversation on Pierce Brosnan's third outing as the legendary James Bond. Sound too good to be true? Well lucky for you, Christmas does come more than once a year... and nobody does it better!

"The World Is Not Enough" -- Garbage
"Show Me the Money/Come in 007, Your Time Is Up" -- David Arnold

Get ready for the touching story of a podcast and his right hand because this episode, Filmshake is talking 1999's horror comedy, Idle Hands. We're split on this episode like two stoners over the last hit, resulting in one of the funniest arguments we've ever had: is Idle Hands dumb on purpose, or is it just dumb? All that arguing gives us the munchies, so for a few minutes we also (mildly, and at a few times forgetting our point) argue about that same year's Teaching Mrs. Tingle. Then we fell asleep.

Music Heard This Episode:
"Idle Hands Theme" -- Graeme Revell
"Dragula" -- Rob Zombie (Hot Rod Herman Remix)
"I Wanna Be Sedated -- The Offspring (Ramones Cover)
"Push It" -- Static-X
