The Third Part in our Dealing with the Devil in 1997 Trilogy One host talks about what a GREAT ASS Connie Neilsen has and how Keanu Reeves has his head... ALL THE WAY UP IT. Or something to that effect. The other host presents a childhood memory of walking in on his parents watching THE DEVIL'S ADVOCATE and we wrap up our dealings with the underworld by debating the merits of bringing about the antichrist or being forced to watch SPAWN again. It's not a tough choice. Enjoy! Catchup on last year's Movie Book Club from Quentin Tarantino's CINEMA SPECULATION!

The Second Part in our Dealing with the Devil in 1997 Trilogy Dr. Alan Grant is at it again and THIS TIME IN SPACE as continue dealing with the devil of 1997 with the release of EVENT HORIZON. For one host this a pleasant first time watch of unpleasantness while the other host remembers fondly the teenage musing in a Hot Topic on the sick cruelty that Morpheus is exposed to while simply doing his job. Also the audio commentary informed us that the producers found Joely Richardson very hot. So maybe this podcast isn't such a waste of your EVENT HORIZON audio time after all. Enjoy!

The First Part in our Dealing with the Devil in 1997 Trilogy So it's come to this. We (and perhaps you, dear listener) needed a reprieve from the year of cinema in 1999 and we find ourselves a mere two years prior... watching and discussing SPAWN? Blame the need for superhero silliness after the serious business of VARSITY BLUES for our current plight of watching lifeless action, in your face "politically incorrect" humor from John Leguizamo as a cross between Salacious Crumb and Jabba the Hutt and Martin Sheen right before the life jacket that was to be playing President Bartlett. There is no life jacket for us for this is our episode on SPAWN. Enjoy and catchup on last year's Movie Book Club from Quentin Tarantino's CINEMA SPECULATION!

The Third Part in our Taming of the 1999 Shrew Trilogy One host finds Julia Stiles AND Heath Ledger insufferable while the other is more bothered by the supposed nice guy act of Joseph-Gordon Levitt. Which is to say that maybe middle aged men should not sit in judgement of the charms of teen romcom hits from their youth. They do however really dislike labeling 10 THINGS I HATE ABOUT YOU a "cult classic." On that we and the fanbase for this film can agree. And also Allison Janney. Always Allison Janney. Especially playing an erotica writing guidance counselor named Ms. Perky. Movies are the best. Enjoy!

The Second Part in our Taming of the 1999 Shrew Trilogy One man faces down forty by watching CRUEL INTENTIONS for the first time. Then he moved on to the audio commentary track (which required finding a used DVD) AND THEN this man moved on to CRUEL INTENTIONS 2. Which was just a series of unaired television episodes continuing this porny universe starring a young Amy Adams. Still not satisfied he moves to a actual porn with a terribly titled adult film parody of this Sarah Michelle Gellar and Reese Witherspoon classic. Research was done. The other host just keeps bringing up Selma Blair in HELLBOY. Enjoy! Did we mention that you can get more of this in our Movie Book Club episodes on Patreon for BEST MOVIE YEAR EVER?

The First Part in our Taming of the 1999 Shrew Trilogy One host compares this early 1999 hit for the young adult crowd to the works of George Bernard Shaw and Spike Lee. Specifically Usher's appearance as the high school prom DJ as a callback to Samuel L. Jackson's work in DO THE RIGHT THING. It is at this point that I remind you that he has a very disagreeable cohost. Enjoy, if you can!

The Third Part in our Follow the Non-Linear 90s Trilogy The best way to educate young people in their pursuit of the German language is to watch Franks Potente run. And run some more. Preferably with cool red hair. That's about all that one host remembers from his high school foreign language class while the other host is still airing grievances about his father's lack of an opinion on THE MATRIX... but that's for next episode. Speaking of which subscribe to our Patreon as we read our 2024 book club on the 25th anniversary of the films of 1999 as documented by BEST. MOVIE. YEAR. EVER. by Brian Raftery. This month has featured three of the films from that book and how the 90s loved telling stories out of chronological order. That should be very comforting to any of our regular listeners who try to follow the thread that is our movie grumbling. Watching RUN LOLA RUN now is just exhausting. Enjoy!

The Second Part in our Follow the Non-Linear 90s Trilogy Back in 1999 one host was trying to convince his buddies to go see John August and Doug Liman's GO instead of seeing THE MATRIX for a third time while the other lesser host was somehow privy to stars of the adult entertainment world... but had no respect for the work of Canadian great Sarah Polley. Thus begins yet another disagreement in the joys of youth. However we do agree that Jay Mohr would not make for a convincing drug dealer as there are still some things that almost anyone can agree on. Enjoy!

The First Part in our Follow the Non-Linear 90s Trilogy Christopher Nolan is like a bad penny on this podcast which is to say that he's good for the numbers (or at least he used to be before we constantly negged him) but also manages to crash the first episode of a year where we will primarily focus on the film of 1999... with a film from 1998. Such is his immense talent! For his debut feature film FOLLOWING we try to create some distance from what would follow in his filmography but end up extolling the virtues of his Batman flicks while also relaying a horrible date night experience with DUNKIRK.

The Third Part in our Stuck at School Trilogy Our 2023 holiday episode features an "instant Christmas classic" (if such a thing exists other than the mighty ELF) in Alexander Payne's THE HOLDOVERS. What does the future hold for this film in future shopping seasons? Repeated airings on Freeform? No! It will reside on Peacock! And thus we must promote it on our soapbox which often features the great work of the heartthrob of our time: Paul Giamatti. Merry Christmas!

If you have a buck instead of a book... we read so you don't have to. Our final chapter on Quentin Tarantino's CINEMA SPECULATION is a simple story about a boy in a Frankenstein mask who meets an older lady over a romantic business transaction and the peeping tom teenagers who trespass in his shame for their own amusement.

The First Part in our Stuck at School Trilogy High above the mucky-muck, castle made of clouds There sits Tobey boy sitting oh so proudly Not much to say when you're high above the mucky-muck. I'd like to continue the show notes in such a fashion but it would be disrespectful to Curtis Hanson's impressive followup to the all-time classic L.A. CONFIDENTIAL. To do so he needed more than just one Wonder Boy by casting a great ensemble that includes Frances McDormand, Robert Downey Jr, Rip Torn, Katie Holmes and Michael Douglas as one of the title characters in the Michael Chabon adaptation of WONDER BOYS. Oh, and also Tobey Maguire. Enjoy (as much as you can with Mr. Maguire present.) We hope you join us by supporting our Patreon Movie Book Club episodes and not deciding to read!
