| Episode 101 - Hardware (1990) and Robot Jox (1990) | 04 Nov 2025 | 01:19:14 | |
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."

| Episode 100 - Jacob's Ladder (1990) | 14 Oct 2025 | 01:32:59 | |
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. We also talk our punishment film, 1990's The Willies. Hehe, we said Willie. Seinfeld. Dick Van Dyke. Filmshake. Hehe, we said Dick.

| Episode 91 - Wild at Heart (1990) | 25 Mar 2025 | 01:26:31 | |
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!

| Episode 7 - Point Break (1991) | 15 Nov 2019 | 01:23:02 | |
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!* Intro music - "If" by Broke For Free | |||
| Episode 90 - Ghost (1990) | 27 Feb 2025 | 01:44:56 | |
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!

| Episode 89 - Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990) and Spaced Invaders (1990) | 28 Jan 2025 | 01:30:00 | |
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! Music Heard This Episode: Intro music - "If" by Broke For Free | |||
| Episode 88 - The Green Mile (1999) | 24 Dec 2024 | 02:37:15 | |
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! Intro music - "If" by Broke For Free | |||
| Episode 87 - The Mummy (1999) | 26 Nov 2024 | 02:01:55 | |
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! Intro music - "If" by Broke For Free | |||
| Episode 86 - The World Is Not Enough (1999) | 05 Nov 2024 | 01:53:20 | |
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. Intro music - "If" by Broke For Free | |||
| Episode 85 - Idle Hands (1999) | 15 Oct 2024 | 01:50:00 | |
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. Intro music - "If" by Broke For Free | |||
| Episode 84 - Arlington Road (1999) | 24 Sep 2024 | 01:50:52 | |
Who killed JFK? What really happened at Area 51? Why are they putting Fluoride in our water? Will anyone ever create the perfect 90s Movies Podcast? Yes, Filmshake did, and this time out, we're covering 1999's conspiracy-minded Jeff Bridges and Tim Robbins-starring Arlington Road! Was Lee Harvey Oswald a patsy? Are aliens real? Is the water supply doing unspeakable things to our biology? We don't know, but we also talk 1999's Kirsten Dunst and Michelle Williams-starring Dick for a few minutes too, engaging in the type of conversation about a movie called Dick that you'd expect from two individuals at our maturity level. Intro music - "If" by Broke For Free | |||
| Episode 83 - The Blair Witch Project (1999) | 27 Aug 2024 | 01:45:45 | |
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. Intro music - "If" by Broke For Free | |||
| Episode 82 - The Sixth Sense (1999) | 06 Aug 2024 | 02:39:59 | |
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! Intro music - "If" by Broke For Free | |||
| Episode 99 - Kindergarten Cop (1990) | 23 Sep 2025 | 01:13:40 | |
It's not a tumor, it's Filmshake! And we're talking 1990's Kindergarten Cop. Arnie only appeared in 12 movies in the 90's, so we're trying to stay as patient as Chekhov's Ferret in covering them, but now, for the 35th anniversary, it's time to go back to elementary school with the Governator! After all, we don't want to be soft and lack discipline! Speaking of, we're also talking our punishment film, 1990's direct-to-video trash, Maniac Cop 2. This is a movie that at least knows it isn't worthy of a roman numeral. That doesn't mean we can't enjoy it! ...or...er...parts of it. All that and more, only on Filmshake!

| Episode 80 - American Beauty (1999) | 25 Jun 2024 | 01:52:33 | |
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. Intro music - "If" by Broke For Free | |||
| Episode 79 - Deep Blue Sea (1999) and Lake Placid (1999) | 04 Jun 2024 | 01:59:57 | |
Our hat is like a shark's fin, so we're covering 1999's Deep Blue Sea! There's other fish in the sea, but Barracudas ain't equal to us as we gush over Renny Harlin's direction and LL Cool J's action hero turn like blood spouting out of a gory stump. When your Titanic sinks we're the one you're gonna meet and we may rather actually watch Titanic than our punishment movie, 1999's Lake Placid, or at least one of us would. Sand under our belly, ocean over our head, listen to this episode of Filmshake or you'll become the living dead! Nightmares of darkness, our appetite is heartless! Intro music - "If" by Broke For Free | |||
| Episode 78 - Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace (1999) | 14 May 2024 | 02:18:11 | |
Every saga has a beginning and that beginning is the topic of the newest 90s Movies Podcast. Nic is joined by friend and supporter of the show, Matinee Mode, as we talk 1999s Star Wars: Episode 1 - The Phantom Menace for nearly 2.5 glorious hours, with a Jordan Courtney appearance at the end to announce the next episode (where he will return like the Jedi). If you're tired of hiding your love or even simply your "like" for this film, this episode is your Huckleberry, or I guess your Han Solo, AND IT SHOOTS FIRST.

| Episode 77 - Bringing Out the Dead (1999) and End of Days (1999) | 18 Apr 2024 | 01:33:09 | |

| Episode 76 - 8MM (1999) and The Other Sister (1999) | 26 Mar 2024 | 02:11:04 | |
In 1999, a 70-year-old Andrew Sarris spoke for the majority of critics about the Joel Schumacher-directed 8MM, when he said it "...is clearly an evil film." Well, Mr. Sarris might have been a purveyor of auteur theory, but he's also a purveyor of being wrong. 25-years-later, in a deep conversation that dissects this misunderstood Nic Cage gem like never before, Jordan and Nic reassess 8mm and find themselves at great odds with the 1999 critical establishment. But then they watch the punishment film, The Other Sister, and find that some of the time, maybe those critics were right. Intro music - "If" by Broke For Free | |||
| Episode 75 - Detroit Rock City (1999) and The Mod Squad (1999) | 05 Mar 2024 | 01:26:20 | |
You gotta lose your mind in Detroit Rock City, and we're here to help! We feel uptight on a Saturday night, the radio's the only light, and we're talking the 1999 Adam Rifkin joint about four 1978 kids who just want to see Kiss play in Detroit. But that's not all! We're also talking 1999's critically-paned cinematic revival of the 60s and 70s counterculture series, The Mod Squad, which one of our hosts inexplicably, unironically, and unconditionally loves. The celebration of 1999 continues on Filmshake! Intro music - "If" by Broke For Free | |||
| Episode 74 - Payback (1999) | 13 Feb 2024 | 01:44:10 | |
Get ready for the big Payback, as we're talking the 1999 Mel Gibson revenge flick, and the 2006 Director's Cut, and 1967's Point Blank, AND the book they're all adapted from, Donald E. Westlake's The Hunter, though mostly 1999's Payback, we promise! Except when we also talk about our punishment movie, 2011's The Beaver, also starring Mel Gibson, payback for Jordan losing trivia last episode. Can Jordan finally get his $70K back in this episode's trivia battle finale, or does he get stuck with a Director's Cut ending of his own making?! All this and more, much much more, and for what, the principle of the thing? Intro music - "If" by Broke For Free | |||
| Episode 73 - A Perfect World (1993) | 23 Jan 2024 | 01:51:28 | |
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! Intro music - "If" by Broke For Free | |||
| Episode 72 -- Go (1999) | 26 Dec 2023 | 01:32:39 | |
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. Intro music - "If" by Broke For Free | |||
| Episode 98 - Ducktales the Movie: Treasure of the Lost Lamp (1990) and Jetsons: The Movie (1990) | 02 Sep 2025 | 01:32:21 | |
Throughout the 90s, Disney made big bucks with animated musicals. In 1990, they released a high-quality adventure film that promised a different direction. The 1990 versions of Jordan and Nic loved that movie. The rest of the world ignored it...and its massive flop in the cinematic ocean ensured decades of Disney musicals that haunt our dreams. But for this one episode, we hope we gave 1990s Ducktales the Movie: Treasure of the Lost Lamp, its due. If we did not, at least we got to get corkscrew deep into duck anatomy. We also talk Jetsons: The Movie, from that same year. We don't have as much nice stuff to say about that movie. Music Heard This Episode: "Coming in For a Landing" -- David Newman "Merlock Takes Control" -- David Newman "Ducktales Ending Theme" -- Written by: Mark Mueller; Performed by: Jeff Pescetto "Duck Surprise" -- Science Magazine (Featuring Evolutionary Biologist, Patty Brennan) Intro music - "If" by Broke For Free | |||
| Episode 71 - Enemy of the State (1998) | 07 Dec 2023 | 01:38:20 | |
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! Intro music - "If" by Broke For Free | |||
| Episode 70 - Clerks (1994) | 14 Nov 2023 | 01:33:35 | |
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. Intro music - "If" by Broke For Free | |||

Subscribe to our Patreon for more bonus material like this throughout the year at this link: https://www.patreon.com/filmshake 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! Intro music - "If" by Broke For Free | |||
| Episode 68 - Dirty Work (1998) | 26 Sep 2023 | 01:30:11 | |
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 2023 | 02:00:28 | |
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! Intro music - "If" by Broke For Free | |||
| Episode 66 - Saving Private Ryan (1998) | 15 Aug 2023 | 01:51:00 | |
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. Intro music - "If" by Broke For Free | |||
| Episode 65 -- Last Action Hero (1993) | 25 Jul 2023 | 01:56:35 | |
"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*)!

| Episode 64 - Desperado (1995) | 04 Jul 2023 | 01:08:44 | |
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? Intro music - "If" by Broke For Free | |||
| Episode 63 - The X-Files (1998) | 13 Jun 2023 | 01:42:16 | |
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? Intro music - "If" by Broke For Free | |||
| Episode 97 - Pretty Woman (1990) | 12 Aug 2025 | 01:16:35 | |
Don't believe Filmshake, we're not the truth. No one could look as good as us. Or maybe we have faces for podcasting. Whatever the case, we're talking 1990's Pretty Woman, the rom-com that stole early 90's Americans' hearts...Did we feel the same...or beg for mercy? Also, we're talking our punishment movie, 1990's The Forbidden Dance...actually, we're talking about a lot of forbidden things. After five minutes of this, you might be wondering what you've gotten yourself into. Won't you pardon us? We couldn't help but see. That you look lovely as can be. Are you lonely, just like us...

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.

| Episode 61 - Blast From the Past (1999) | 02 May 2023 | 01:48:24 | |
You might not fall in love with weirdos who you've only known for four or five days, who collect baseball cards, and pee when they see the ocean, and have perfect table manners, but it's perfectly fine to fall in love with Filmshake, as we're talking 1999's Brendan Fraser and Alicia Silverstone-starring romantic comedy, Blast From the Past. After your two favorite podcast gentleman have a perfectly pleasant conversation about this sweet 'lil champagne cocktail of a film, they talk this episode's punishment movie, ANOTHER 1999 Brendan Fraser film, and not the one where he fights a sexy deceased man. That only leaves one film, and that film is Dudley Do-Right...which one of your hosts likes? Intro music - "If" by Broke For Free | |||
| Episode 60 - Tommy Boy (1995) and Black Sheep (1996) | 11 Apr 2023 | 01:31:44 | |
Let's say you're driving along with your family. You're driving along, you're driving along, all of a sudden there's a Filmshake in the middle of the road! Holy Schneikes, we're talking 1995's Tommy Boy and 1996's Black Sheep! It might've taken us seven years to graduate, we might have eaten paint chips and lived under power lines as kids, but we've got Ph. D.'s in 90's, and this episode is better than wearing white gloves while eating a ketchup popsicle. Intro music - "If" by Broke For Free | |||
| Nic and Jordan's Top Five 80's Movies! | 29 Mar 2023 | 01:31:01 | |
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! Intro music - "If" by Broke For Free | |||
| Episode 59 - The Fugitive (1993) | 14 Mar 2023 | 01:52:55 | |
What's this? A Best Picture nominee? How did this get in here?! Intro music - "If" by Broke For Free | |||
| Episode 58 - Baby Geniuses (1999) | 14 Feb 2023 | 01:05:04 | |
Magnolia. Fight Club. The Matrix. Baby 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.

| Episode 57 - The Cutting Edge (1992) | 24 Jan 2023 | 01:36:40 | |
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?! Intro music - "If" by Broke For Free | |||
| Episode 56 - Eyes Wide Shut (1999) | 27 Dec 2022 | 01:47:40 | |
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.

| Episode 55 - Home Alone 2: Lost in New York (1992) | 06 Dec 2022 | 01:50:44 | |
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! Intro music - "If" by Broke For Free | |||
| Episode 54 - Can't Hardly Wait (1998) and Dead Man on Campus (1998) | 15 Nov 2022 | 01:43:57 | |
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.

| Episode 96 - Days of Thunder (1990) and Revenge (1990) | 22 Jul 2025 | 01:18:50 | |
You can't stop the thunder! You can't outrun the thunder! Grab a couple of car rentals and smash them into each other while listening to Filmshake! We're talking 1990's Days of Thunder! Actually, don't do that. We don't have lawyers on our staff and we were just joking! But do listen to this episode. We're also talking Tony Scott's other 1990 flick, Revenge! You can't stop the revenge! You can't outrun the revenge! Listen to Filmshake!

| Episode 53 - Night of the Demons 2 (1994) | 25 Oct 2022 | 01:30:56 | |
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...

| Episode 52 - Arachnophobia (1990) and Outbreak (1995) | 04 Oct 2022 | 01:11:51 | |
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?! Intro music - "If" by Broke For Free | |||
| Episode 51 - Ninja Scroll (1993) and Surf Ninjas (1993) | 13 Sep 2022 | 01:49:11 | |
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!!! Intro music - "If" by Broke For Free | |||
