Two episodes in two days? Anything can happen on Podcast Like It's Halloween! Taking us back to 89 for the first time this month is Molly Margraf and Jessica Lieberman, here to talk about the SECOND Fred Savage movie on this patreon, LITTLE MONSTERS!
We analyze the common comparisons this movie draws, from Monsters Inc, to Beetlejuice, while discussing why this movie didn't really work for us as is, but could work incredibly well as a remake. Cranked up Howie Mandel, little kid nightmare fuel, and (of course) lots of 80s cheese in this one!

Writer/Producer/Cinema Paradiso superfan Stacy Traub (Black-ish/The Real O'Neals) makes her first appearance on the Patreon feed to discuss the Academy Award winning Italian drama CINEMA PARADISO.
Having never seen the film before, Kenny offers a fresh take on the failures of the project. Stacy shares how the three hour directors cut almost ruined the entire movie for her. Phil leads a round table discussion on how movie theaters will evolve in a post pandemic world, and what we all consider to be the perfect movie theater experience. And, of course, we discuss how this gentle foreign film ended up as a highly regarded, mainstream classic here in America, the legendary execution of the ending, and the ways in which the central message of theaters losing out to television is still a hot topic today.

David Iserson joins us to talk about the second big miss of Steven Spielberg's career, the critically panned romantic drama Always.
Get ready for two hours of Richard Dreyfuss dunking, as we try to figure out what went so wrong in the creation of this tepid remake. Would Always have been a classic with a more charming actor in the lead role? We talk about what this movie could have been if Spielberg were able to cast his first choices, what we think works about the concept and script, and where we think it went so, horrifically wrong (Hint, it's mostly Dreyfuss).
Stay until the end to hear our Spielberg top tens!

Screenwriter Chuck Hayward (WandaVision/Dear White People) takes us on a trip to New Jersey in the 80s to discuss the dramatization of principal Joe Clark's life, LEAN ON ME.
Lead by a showstopping performance from Morgan Freeman, and directed by the legendary John G. Avildsen, Lean on Me tackles the complicated real life story of a principal, with many flaws of his own, taking on an issue passed down to him from years of systemic injustice for inner city children. We discuss the lukewarm reception this film met at its premiere, and its journey to becoming an American classic, and a television staple. We also take a deep dive into Freeman's career, ranking our favorite performances of his, and trying to figure out what the heck happened at the Academy Awards that year. Tack on a beautiful rendition of the Eastside High Alma Mater from Kenny and Chuck, and some WandaVision reception talk (How could we not?), and you have an episode for the ages.

Writer Toby Herman is on the show this week to talk about the greatest (or worst, it's all a matter of perspective!) crime fighting duo of 1989, Turner & Hooch.
In the current pop culture age of tongue-in-cheek throwbacks, it's hard to not get swept up in the 80's cheese that is hard boiled into the core of this deranged buddy cop comedy. Are we looking back with rose tinted glasses, or is this movie an underrated diamond in the RUFF? Toby has some thoughts on the matter. We take a deep dive behind the scenes to talk about the on-set rivalries, inexplicably long "screenplay by" credits, and the bizarre, contradictory choices made, that bring up a lot of questions about the intended audience age.

We also talk about the rocky production during the writers strike, compare it to better suburbs based movies, and discuss the many thematic misfires, from the borderline xenophobia, to its hesitance to be as goofy as it needs to be.

Our journey through the films of 1989 leads us into the smoke filled lounges and jazzy music bars of 1980s Seattle, with Steve Kloves' criticaly acclaimed, financially disappointing, directorial debut: THE FABULOUS BAKER BOYS.
Joined by Joanna Robinson (Senior writer, Vanity Fair) Phil and Kenny discuss a once-in-a-lifetime onscreen matchup of the Bridges brothers, a jaw-dropping performance and musical number from Michelle Pfeiffer, and the very peculiar career of director Steve Kloves. Throw on your best tuxedo, grab a glass of whiskey, and bask in the glamour of this cinematic spectacle that harkens back to a by-gone era.

IN THIS PODCAST, WE PREPARE FOR THE UNEXPECTED.
Kenny and Phil join forces with Tom Mison (Watchmen, Sleepy Hollow) to discuss Timothy Dalton's second, and final, outing as the iconic British super-spy James Bond.
In an unprecedented veer away from the 007 formula, Bond denounces his license to kill and seeks revenge upon a South American drug dealer for the murder of his friend's wife. Although praised at the time for the action, and Dalton's performance, the film's dark and gritty tone left a bad taste in some reviewers mouths. Over 30 years later, we reflect on this dramatic shift, and discuss how it holds up as the character's legacy continues to evolve.

We are once again talking about Michelle Pfieffer in her big budget novel adaptation THE DEEP END OF THE OCEAN with Jarett wieselman!
We talk about some of the larger, and more hilarious misfires in this film's plot, and how some books are best left unadapted. Kenny tries to convince Phil and Jarett that the parent's reactions to their child's disappearance aren't as unrealistic as they seem. And, of course, we gush about Michelle Pfeiffer for most of the runtime.

Writer and Mark Ruffalo look alike Bilge Ebiri joins us this week to talk all things Jane Campion with her divisive Kate Winslet vehicle, HOLY SMOKE.
We talk about the devolution of the leading man in Hollywood, and how we don't see actors like Harvey Keitel (or as Kenny puts it, "Actors with faces") in movies anymore. We also break down Campion's career, from The Piano, to this week's Netflix release The Power of the Dog, and analyze how she portrays men and women throughout her filmography. We also discuss Kate Winslet's career post-Titanic, the urban character actor, and how this film's shortcomings almost benefit the overall viewing experience.

Actor/Comedian Pete Capella returns to discuss one of the most influential albums of all time, Moby's 1999 chart smashing PLAY.
We discuss what it means to become a sellout, and whether or not we think Moby fits the bill. We also talk about the monumental shift toward licensing songs to commercials and film that this record brought on, and how that thrusted Moby into the limelight months after the album dropped. Other topics include Moby's fervent animal rights agenda, the cultural appropritation in PLAY, and the influence these 18 tracks had on the future of the music industry.

We talk about all the factors that led to such a freaky group becoming a mainstream success, from the rise of angry, rich frat boys, to clique cultures in highschools. We also compare them to their contemporaries, including Insane Clown Posse and Limp Bizkit, as well as precursors such as Kiss, and track their evolution from their debut 1999 album, to today.

That's right, we're finally covering one of the 90s most seminal pieces of science fiction pop culture. We discuss the rabid fanbase that kept X-Files on the air for so long, and how they reacted to this incredible self-contained episode (with a plot ripped straight from Emma's personal fan fiction). We also talk about the subpar special effects and story work, that is almost completely overshadowed by the lead performances and direction.

We also discuss the worst of the worst 90s tropes, including portraying assholishness as hot, and focusing on unique storytelling instead of GOOD storytelling. We explore some of 1999's best twists, and how this movie strived to make that list, but fell completely short. Finally, we try to pick out what unique pieces of American culture would be interesting to the brits. Stay tuned to the end of Clay's take on Carrie, and Kenny's take on Brian De Palma!

Phil takes some time to outline the insane social media/Emmys scandal that erupted around this episode, involving Aaron Sorkin and co-writer Rick Cleveland. Joanna recounts the dramatic rewrites that Cleveland's original script went through to protect Toby's character, and eventually lead to Schiff's only Emmy win for The West Wing. We also touch on the brief cameo from Lance Reddick, the buffoonery surrounding the Sam/Laurie storyline, and the show's pointedly unliberal way of dealing with the issue of hate crimes.

Being just one in a very long line of 1999 apocalypse flicks we've covered on the show, can this movie hold a candle to the likes of Last Night or even End of Days? We discuss how this film fits into the zeitgeist of films pushing a religious agenda, the painfully undercooked plotline that needed at least seven or eight more rewrites, and the half decent cast that can't quite manage to churn this nonsense into something watchable.

We discuss how Sorkin was ahead of his time when thinking up political issues for the show, including minority representation on the supreme court, and privacy rights on the internet. We also continue to break down the gender politics of the show, including how the program allows Allison Janney to be tall and powerful, the embarrassing way they dress down Mandy, and talk about how the nuances of the Josh/Donna relationship are beginning to come into focus.

We also break down how violence is portrayed in either movie, and how either direction isn't necessarily the wrong direction. Becky shares her thoughts on how these films play through the eyes of a woman vs. the eyes of a man, and we compare it to movies with similar viewpoints, such as Teeth and Promising Young Woman.

For the third episode of West Wing Wednesdays, we brought on Alex Berger, writer on the upcoming Law & Order offshoot, For the Defense, to talk about A PROPORTIONAL RESPONSE.
We talk about how the audience must suspend their disbelief in the show's bombastic dialogue, and view the characters more like superheroes than real life political figures, to better tune into what it's trying to achieve. We also discuss the cycling between optimism and pessimism toward real world politics that affect that era's fictionalized representation of the white house.

We also talk Kristen Stewart, Moulin Rouge, and some VERY outdated 90s fashion choices.

Although Liberty Heights is the primary focus, we take on the entirety of Levinson's semi-autobiographical tetralogy (Diner, Tin Men, and Avalon) to discuss what works, what doesn't work, and how his directorial style evolved, and culminated with Heights. We also take the opportunity to share our very different experiences growing up Jewish, and how those experiences are reflected in these films.

Critic Darren Franich (Entertainment Weekly) joins us to take on David O. Russell's critically acclaimed war satire Three Kings.
Lauded at the time of release, Three Kings is nowhere close to being the household name that other 1999 films have become. We try to suss out the truth behind the wild production stories (of which there are many) surrounding this film, and how they may have contributed to its lack of nostalgic recognition. We also tackle the careers of the titular three kings (+ Spike Jonze), and the influence of this movie's unique aesthetic. In addition to sharing our experiences with EW in the 90s, Darren explains how the magazine's cultural cache allowed him to see this dark comedy at a young age.

As the second reboot, and 23rd overall production by Toho, Godzilla 2000 sought to revitalize the franchise, and bring it back from the critical pit Roland Emmerich left it in. We talk about the subpar english dub, the state of kaiju flicks in the 90s, and the evolution of Godzilla's design. We also take some time to discuss the recently released Godzilla vs. Kong, and how both monsters have been treated over the years. Do these films fare better as mindless slog fests, or as thoughtful, slow moving cultural reflections? Listen in as we try to sort out our thoughts on this larger than life franchise!

Zetus lapetus, it's about time we covered one of the EIGHT Disney Channel Original movies that came out in '99, and who better to do it with than someone who auditioned to be in Zenon: Z3, actress Jennifer Lauren DiBella?
While movies like The Matrix and The Blair Witch project were redefining cinema as we know it at the local megaplex, DCOMs were the talk of the schoolyard for 90s kids who couldn't convince their parents to take them to see Stuart Little for the 5th time. Today, Phil is finally taking the plunge into this pre-teen cultural phenomenon. Do these films stand the test of time as classics major, or should they be left to rot in 20th century TV jail.

Writer/Director (And our go-to guest for subpar movies) Jessica Ellis is back on the show this week to talk about a movie that reaches for the stars, and barely hits the clouds; the embarrassingly executed sci-fi thriller THE THIRTEENTH FLOOR.
We talk about all the ways this movie fails to live up to its promising premise, and the few ways it manages to sneak in the odd pearl. We also discuss the unfortunate way female stars in the 90s were used up and forgotten about, and the film's unavoidable connections to more popular films of the time, such as The Matrix and Gattaca. (Inexplicably) Kick off your shoes, and hop into another reality, as we put on our tin foil hats to and dive head first into the world of simulation theory, forgotten actors, and Roland Emmerich.

With a culture based around violence, god-like personas, and bitter rivalries, it's easy to forget the real life people behind this larger than life form of entertainment. Through Barry W. Blaustein's critically acclaimed and intimate documentary about the lives of three wrestlers, at three wildly different points in their careers, we take an in-depth look at this wildly contradictory art form.

Furthermore, how does a man who looked so good in his prime deal with the fact that he's aging? Well, it DEFINITLEY gets put on the screen in very bizarre ways.

Writer Tom Lorenzo joins us to tear apart Universal Soldier: The Return, a sequel that never should have been made.
After an alright first film, and two made-for-television disasters, the Universal Soldier franchise seemed to be dead in the water. So why was 45 million dollars thrown at a sequel? Must have been a pretty great script, right? Wrong. Universal Soldier: The Return is an absolute mess, and there is plenty for us to discuss when it comes to the questionable choices made at every turn, but this stinker of a movie mostly acts as the perfect diving board for conversations on the decline of the action movie genre, Jean-Claude Van Damme's career (and macho-man actors in general), and how a great B-Movie concept can be squandered on a forgettable film.

To Phil and Writer/Producer/Guest Corinn Stikeman's delight, even the lesser episodes of SatC tend breed great conversation.

In 1999, there were three distinct takes on the modern American mafia. One, The Sopranos, was wildly successful both commercially and creatively and remade both American's understanding of the Italian Mafia, as well as the entire television industry. A second, Analyze This, performed respectfully at the box office and among critics, providing audiences with both unexpected laughs and pathos. A third, Mickey Blue Eyes, had Hugh Grant trying to talk like an American gangster, which sounded like a man choking as he attempted to gurgle marbles. Join Phil and Kenny as they discuss the least successful, but silliest (!), entry in the late 20th Century mafia canon.

Did you know that in 1999 there was a machine invented called the “Random Sundance Movie Generator?” That’s right! For a fraction of what a screenwriter cost, this machine spit out a complete Sundance movie script in seconds. Take, for instance, “Happy, Texas.” No human could have come up with this seemingly unrelated combination of elements: Unlikely Lead Actors: Jeremy Northam, Steve Zahn Genre: Low-Stakes Heist Flyover Country Setting: Rural, Texas Town, Present Day (But make it feel like 1983) Quirky Complication: Children’s beauty pageant Far-fetched Cover Story: Characters pose as a gay couple Expected Price Tag at Sundance: $500k (or $10 million if you can get Harvey Weinstein to a screening).

Ron Shelton made some of the best and most beloved sports movies of all-time in Bull Durham, White Men Can’t and Tin Cup. Boxing has long been considered the sport that lost naturally lends itself to dramatic storytelling, as evidenced by such classics as Raging Bull, Rocky and Million Dollar Baby. So, when Ron Shelton came out with his boxing movie in 1999, audiences were expecting a knockout! And what they got was... an extended gay panic joke? Christian Lander (black-ish, The Mick) joins Phil and Kenny to dissect just how this seemingly perfect marriage of artist and subject was apparently derailed by the marriage of a director and his star.

ISCOVE: Yes! We somehow avoided being problematic while talking about Woody Allen. NEIBART: I don’t know if I’d say we were completely without controversy. What about the part where you defended Woody’s behavior? ISCOVE: I never defended Woody’s behavior! FRIEDLANDER: I don’t think any of us defended him. NEIBART (smirking): Phil did. ISCOVE (steam rising): I did no such thing! NEIBART: Ernie? HURTADO: I don’t know. He may have when one of those 15 planes flew over. NEIBART: Yup. ISCOVE: I never defended him! Stop putting that out there! NEIBART: I guess our listeners will have to listen to the entire episode to find out. FRIEDLANDER: This got real weird, real fast. (Pause) ISCOVE: I didn’t defend him.

The year was 1999. Woodstock. Free Love. The Moon Landing. Any one of them could make for a good movie. But Walk on the Moon defies that half-assed bullshit and just throws it all into a blender and somehow churns out a single, spectacular film. Writer/Producer Toby Herman joins the Pod to discuss this hidden little gem.

Phil and Kenny are joined on the podcast this week by director and animator Miguel Jiron (Into the Spiderverse) to discuss - yawn - Hiyao Miyazaki's "Princess Mononoke." We have some real slogs in 1999, but few are as rote as this one, folks. It's a story you've heard a million times. Boy kills giant hog imbued with a demon spirit. The spirit gets inside him and gives him, you guessed it, superhuman strength but, yup, is also going to kill him. In an effort to find a cure, he encounters a wolf goddess and her human daughter, San. I know, grow an imagination, Miyazaki. Of course, they don't fall in love, but grow to have a mutual respect for each other, like pretty much every story about a young man and woman in traumatic circumstances. That says nothing of the other mundane things he runs into, like your cliched group of bandaged of lepers manufacturing firearms or the tree spirits who probably hold the secret to all life on earth. On top of that, visually it looks like a Monet come to life and populated with best and worst living dreams and nightmares of a opium eater. Like every other fucking movie ever. Well, we said we'd do every movie, so here's Princess Mononoke for you.

Anupam Nigam (Station 19, Psych) joins Kenny and Phil to discuss “Blue Streak,” Martin Lawrence’s 1999 remake of the beloved British Heist Film “The Big Job.”
“Blue Streak” is one of the few remakes we cover in 1999 and, frankly, the most superfluous.
Of what use is Martin Lawrence’s portrayal of diamond-thief-cum-imposter-police-officer when compared to Sid James’ legendary work in the original?
For whom is the easy chemistry between Lawrence and co-star Luke Wilson, when anybody could type “The Big Job” into any steaming service and relive the timeless, oft-quoted repartee between Mr. James and Dick Emery?
And which constituency was crying out to have the masterful scene where Mr. James disguises himself as a Italian food courier - replete with those classic wonky British dentures - reenacted by Mr. Lawrence?
“Blue Streak” is, on own merits, a perfectly cromulent caper. But it is rendered obsolete in a society like ours, for, as everyone knows, “The Big Job” is cultural touchstone for families the world over.
In remaking a timeless classic like “The Big Job,” moviegoers in 1999 likely wondered if Hollywood had simply run out of new ideas. Fortunately, it did not portend a permanent problem for the film industry.

But first, much like a certain Cider House, this podcast has rules. The Podcast Like It's 1999 Rules: 1. Please do not talk about The Cider House Rules as if it was a worthy Best Picture nominee over Magnolia, Being John Malkovich, Eyes Wide Shut or The Talented Mr. Ripley. Or Toy Story 2. Or Notting Hill. Or The Mummy. Or EdTV. Or Anywhere but Here. Or Deuce Bigelow. 2. Please do not mention Michael Caine's Best Supporting Actor performance without also including that Tom Cruise was robbed. 3. Please do not speak positively about John Irving's Best Adapted Screenplay win without noting the category also included Election, The Talented Mr. Ripley, the Insider and The Green Mile* (*Mentioning the Green Mile is optional). 4. Please do not give this film "bonus points" for tackling abortion or the exploitation of marginalized workers without also noting the issues are shown exclusively from the point of view of white men. 5. Please do not drink or smoke on the roof. If you follow those rules, we should have a great podcast, you Princes of Maine, you Kings of New England.

Erin La Rosa (Netflix social media) came back to the podcast for her second Brendan Fraser-Hugh Wilson film. She thought she was just there to talk Fraser, but she never could have anticipated what awaited her. When people talk about the best twists of 1999, they’ll mention The Sixth Sense or The Matrix. Perhaps the more artsy of us will ride for eXistenZ. And maybe those who don’t understand twists will stan for, I don’t know, The Bone Collector? But the biggest twist of all is that this movie about a simple Canadian Mountie and his flatulent horse named Horse based on a little-loved cartoon is not only good, it’s great! Listen to this episode to find out if this write up was itself a twist as well and it’s really as bad as you think.

Bicentennial Man is a film from 1999 with a title that gives away the ending. If the studio was intent on giving away the ending, perhaps they should have gone with one of their alternate, snappier titles instead, such as: “I Fucked My Fridge” Todd Van Der Werff (Vox) and Libby Hill (LA Times) join us for a high-minded discussion on the film* that ended Robin Williams’ career as a leading man. * ”Jakob the Liar” can also make this claim, but fortunately for us we won’t be covering it because it was made in ... well, fuck.

Once in a generation, a podcast comes along that is so riveting, so ravishing, so revolutionary that it can only be described as a SUPERCAST. Unfortunately, our podcast on Molly Shannon’s Superstar is not that supercast. It is, however, an honest and frank discussion of a wildly misunderstood and underappreciated diamond in 1999’s rough. Much thanks to our guests, Molly Green and James Leffler (Station 19), for excavating said diamond and holding it up to figuratively/audibly shine for everyone.

Kenny and Phil are not your average podcasters. Most podcasters look at humanity and see a small sliver who can podcast at even a remedial level. But not Kenny and Phil. They believe that podcasting comes from within... that it comes from the heart. So, it was with that spirit, that they invited Melissa Lora and Corinne Stikeman - two podcast guests with a scant four guest episodes of experience between them - on to the podcast. But Phil and Kenny did not take it easy on Melissa and Corinne. They could have started slow, with a rip-roaring crowd-pleaser like "The Mummy" or a meaty hunk of podcast fodder-beef like "Wild Wild West," but, instead, Melissa and Corinne were forced to come up with 90-120 minutes of aural delight about the Violins-in-East-Harlem, Meryl Streep-vehicle, "Music of the Heart." We can hear you shudder. How can two novices, two amateurs, two rookies spin such a plain, boring, rote film into podcast gold? Well. Take a listen. You won't believe your ears. As long, that is, as you listen with your heart.

One of the quirks of 1999 is that the year produced several high-profile entities’ most off-brand films. Included among these is David Lynch’s not-weird “The Straight Story,” Eddie Murphy’s not-funny “Life,” Disney’s not-musical “Tarzan,” and Rob Reiner’s not-good “The Story of Us.” Add to that “Outside Providence.” Emily Fox (Hindsight, Girlfriends Guide to Divorce) joins us to discuss the Farrelly Brothers-written, coming-of-age, stoner dramedy that doesn’t have any bird’s heads falling off, one-handed bowlers, conjoined twins, or even one drop of semen in any character’s hair.

What is Life? For centuries, the greatest minds in science, philosophy and theology have endeavored to answer that most unanswerable of questions. We’ve grappled with its meaning, questioned its purpose and cursed its inevitable end. While the experience is universal, it’s the ineffable nature of it has baffled us all. A satisfying answer, it seemed, was never to be. But then, in 1999, like a bolt of lightning, an answer came: Life is a prison-set comedy with dramatic overtones starring Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrence. Chuck Hayward (Step Sisters, Dear White People) joins Phil and Kenny to discuss this most momentous of discoveries.

This podcast started as a bet. Could Phil and Kenny take any guest and turn him into the Podcasting King? After rejecting a few deeper-voiced possibilities, they settled on David Iserson, who had glasses. David proved to be more than meets the eye, however, when he shrewdly chose the film “She’s All That,” an oft-requested classic of the teen genre, as his movie. David proceeded to wow the boys with his podcasting bona fides. Turns out, he’s a seasoned writer - features and TV, comedy and drama - making him highly desirable to podcasts ranging from Scriptnotes to WTF to the one where Doug Benson gets high. He’s also full of podcast-able tidbits like, did you know he had a She’s All That poster in his college dorm room? And that it was in French?! But the only way to prove that David is the new podcasting king of the internet is if this episode gets more download than any before it. Can David do it? Can Phil and Kenny do it? Or will love get in the way? Download to find out!

Oh, how wonderful! 1999 has brought us yet another treat in the form of a movie from the Disney Renaissance, the delightful era that birthed such classics as "The Little Mermaid, "Beauty and the Beast" and "The Lion King." How sweet they are, with their singing animals, dancing inanimate objects and overall sense of wonder! I can't wait to see which one we get to--
Oh, it's "Tarzan." We got "Tarzan?" You know, Me, Tarzan, You Jane "Tarzan?" The one where the characters don't sing. Or dance. Where it all takes place on basically one beach. The one with the Phil Collins' song that beat Aimee Mann for Best Original Song!? That's the one we get?!
Well, we'll be damned if Emily Morris (21 Laps) didn't come on and defend the shit out of her beloved Ape-man and his rock-hard abs. And we'll be further damned if she didn't get Phil and Kenny to see beyond the lack of theme park-ready set pieces and find a warm, tender, beautiful and sad movie at its core.
Sometimes you open a present and it's not what you want, but it's what you need. And, maybe in 1999, the world needed "Tarzan."
Or maybe it needed "Toy Story 2," but we'll get there eventually.

But between the unsuccessful suicide attempt that opens the film and the more successful ones that close it, is a beautiful, haunting film about the joys and horrors of growing up female in suburban America.

And then they were down to three contestants in the Mr. Podcast Like its 1999 pageant: Phil Iscove, Kenny Neibart and Jarett Wieselman (Netflix Social). With all three men tied, it would come down to their answers in the interview portion. Phil went first and his question was: "If you were stuck on a desert island, what one movie from 1999 would you take with you and why is it Drop Dead Gorgeous?" But Phil protested that it would actually be either Magnolia, The Straight Story or Toy Story 2 - depending upon who was asking the question - and was eliminated from competition. Kenny was up next and was asked: "Which character from Drop Dead Gorgeous do you most relate to?" But when Kenny responded it was Denise Richard's character Becky Ann Leeman, the booing and hissing was so loud it drowned out the remainder of his answer and he was awarded zero points. Finally, Jarett was asked: "Why isn't Drop Dead Gorgeous available on any streaming service in the world?" Jarett went into a violent rage and murdered everyone as a homage to Drop Dead Gorgeous, leaving the judges no choice but to award Mr. Podcast Like It's 1999 to... Kirsten Dunst!

In this episode of Podcast Like It’s 1999 Keely Flaherty (Netflix) joins Phil and Kenny to the Egyptology travelogue, “The Mummy.” While some see “The Mummy” as a morality tale set against the sandy deserts of Cairo, we here at Podcast Like It’s 1999 prefer to view the work as an ode to the weary archaeologist, she who spans the globe in search of the riches and secrets of a epoch lost to history. A living tribute to the brave men and women willing spelunk the darkest crypts, excavate the most haunted tombs and stare down the most terrifying ghouls, “The Mummy” exalts the modern archeologist, the true action hero.

We did a podcast. It was a podcast about "Bringing Out the Dead," That movie about ambulance drivers in Hell's Kitchen? We talked with Stephen Vitale, a filmmaker, for while about the intersection of life and death and whatnot. We thought it was a lovely, constructive and enlightening conversation. So why do we still feel like there's nothing to live for? This podcast. It's important. Maybe not for society, but for us. We touched on so many things, like the use of the color red and religious imagery and which of Nicholas Cage's three partners - John Goodman, Ving Rhames or Tom Sizemore - were the most entertaining and/or terrifying. We really felt like we were creating something great. And we did. I think. Maybe not. Who knows. You'll just have to listen for yourself and decide, did Podcast Like It's 1999 do "Bringing out the Dead" justice? Or should we just drive quietly into that terrible night?

But if YOU’VE never been kissed, it can serve as a how-to guide as well! Step One: Look like, and be as, charming as Drew Barrymore Step Two: Get a job at a newspaper run by a crazy old man (like a Garry Marshall-type) who is willing to send you on an investigative report into your old high school on a whim. Step Three: Get your 20-something brother, who hopefully can also pass for high school-age like, say, David Arquette, to also enroll in high school and make you cool. Step Four: Entrap your handsome Michael Vartan-esque teacher into falling for you. Step Five: Ignore any awkwardness (or legal issue) that might arise due to potential underage concerns. Step Six: KISS!

Phil and Kenny are joined by the Director of “The Spy Who Dumped Me,” Susanna Fogel. Or are they? Because in this podcast, nothing is as it seems. What sounds like a friendly discussion about domestic terrorism might actually be code for something for more sinister. What could be heard as a simple recasting of a modern version of “Arlington Road” might really be seeing the seeds for something far more dangerous. And what is usually a calm, thoughtful podcast about the movies of 1999 might just turn into a powderkeg of repressed emotions waiting to explode like some kind of nondescript, midwestern federal building!

Phil and Kenny are joined by "Sleepy Hollow" star Tom Mison to discuss and dissect "Cruel Intentions." "Cruel Intentions," if you're not familiar, is your classic story of Boy meets Girl. Girl happens to be his Step-Sister. Boy falls in love. Girl offers a quid-pro-quo. Boy destroys the reputation of Another Girl. In exchange, Boy get to have sex with Girl. During speculative sex, Boy is told he can put it wherever he wants. Girl, may I remind you, his Boy's Step-Sister. Girl kisses Another Other Girl, who's reputation Boy also has to destroy. Boy kinda maybe rapes Another Other Girl. Boy concurrently falls in love with Another Girl, while falling out of love with Girl, who, may I remind you, happens to be Boy's Step-Sister. In the process, Boy turns down the opportunity to put it anywhere in the Girl, who, may I remind you, just so happens to be Boy's Step-Sister. Boy breaks up with Another Girl precisely because he fell in love with her. Boy dies. Girl subsequently is exposed and humiliated by Another Girl, all set to "Bittersweet Symphony." You know, that old chestnut.

We hate the movies of 2001 And those of 2002 Because none of those films are quite as good as 10 Things I Hate about You We hate guests that aren’t Ashley Lyle From The Originals on The CW Because none of those guests picked a movie better than 10 Things I Hate About You We hate Erika Christensen and Paul Reiser And all three Hemsworths, too Because they’re not Julia Stiles, Larry Miller and Heath Ledger from 10 Things I Hate About You We hate oh so many things The aforementioned are just a few But maybe we’re lying and we really hated 10 Things I Hate About You

Just in time for the Fourth of July, Podcast Like It's 1999 brings you 1999's Most American film! Phil Iscove, Kenny Neibart and TV Writer Jim Campolongo (Station 19, White Collar) take a big, old Red, White and Blue dive into the world of... snuff films? Wait, what? We're releasing the snuff movie on Independence Day? (Well, let's see if we can make this work using my questionable understanding of the American Revolution almost entirely gleaned from Lin-Manuel Miranda's Hamilton..) Nicolas Cage plays a private detective. He's kind of like the... George Washington (?) of this movie. He's tasked with helping an old lady (Martha Washington -- or maybe she represents the Colonies themselves?) with figuring out whether her husband (easy, King George III) had a young woman raped and murdered on film (okay, the young woman represents the collective victims of the Boston Massacre?!). On Cage's journey (Washington's March from Newport to Yorktown), he encounters many colorful characters (Rochambeau, Lafayette, other Hamilton references) and finds one odd fellow played by Joaquin Phoenix, willing to be his unlikely Right-Hand Man (HAMILTON HIMSELF! THIS IS WORKING!!!). Together they enter the dark, sordid world of underground fringe porn and snuff film (New Jersey) where they find the man responsible for the snuff film, Peter Stormare (General Howe). Joaquin meets his untimely end (not gonna gloat or anything, but...) and Cage, like Washington, wins the day, but loses a bit of himself in the process. Then he becomes President.

To paraphrase the great 20th century philosopher Lisa Turtle, "What is art? Are we art? Is art art? And, most importantly, is The Thomas Crown Affair art?" Television writer/producers, and the subject of a recent Hollywood Reporter piece on their courtship, Stacy Traub (Glee, Blackish, SMILF) and Hunter Covington (It's Always Sunny, Alone Together, The Carmichael Show) join Phil and Kenny to discuss that very question. Does "The Thomas Crown Affair" rise to the level of the pieces its protagonist steals? Does it have the delicate touch of Manet's "The Banks of the Seine at Argenteuil?" Does it's scope and emotional heft more closely resemble Edward Burkne-Jones' "The Mirror of Venus?" Is Pierce Brosnan's mysterious nature mirrored in Magritte's "The Son of Man?" Is Rene Russo's effortless elegance akin to that of Monet's "San Giorgio Maggiore at Dusk?" Or is its simple structure and sophomoric execution more like Cassius Macellus Coolidge's "Dogs Playing Poker?" Tune in to the podcast to find out!

Podcast Like It's 1999: Episode 29 - The Star Wars One Turmoil has engulfed the Podcast. The ultimate evaluation of The Phantom Menace is in dispute, and the fate of the entire Star Wars saga hangs in the balance. Hoping to resolve the matter with a two-part podcast, the cynical Phil Iscove and the skeptical Kenny Neibart have called for a summit on the matter. While the hosts endlessly debate this alarming entry in the Star Wars canon, the Supreme Chancellor has secretly dispatched Supergirl writer Eric Carrasco, the guardian of the Star Wars prequels, to settle the conflict....

Phil, Kenny and Rachelle Lefevre (Under the Dome, Fox’s upcoming drama series Proven Innocent) walked into a podcast about the 1999 dramedy Anywhere But Here expecting a pleasant conversation about a quaint movie.
And then things got real. It turns out, Anywhere But Here is not just the simple story of Natalie Portman’s serious Ann and her batty mother Adele, played by Susan Sarandon, but rather a skeleton key that unlocks the deepest secrets of our brave podcasters’ souls, and most likely yours as well... Tune in, if you can handle it.

In the first installment of our “Class of 1999” bonus series, Phil and Kenny talk with actor and writer Orlando Jones. They discuss Orlando’s breakout starring role in Barry Levinson’s “Liberty Heights”, his hilarious supporting turn in Mike Judge’s “Office Space” and his truncated performance in Paul Thomas Anderson’s “Magnolia,” in which Orlando tells the story of his deleted storyline and what would have been (had PTA had yet another hour to work with).

Phil and Kenny are joined by actor and activist Scott Turner Schofield to discuss Kimberly Peirce’s seminal film Boys Don’t Cry and Hilary Swank’s Oscar-winning performance as Brandon Teena.

Phil Iscove, Kenny Neibart and Barry Hertz of The Globe and Mail were selected to be the first people ever to discuss David Cronenberg’s eXistenZ on a podcast. And what they experienced will challenge your beliefs about the very nature of podcasting. You may think that you can’t discuss Canadian Film History on a podcast. But You Can. You may think that you can’t listen to three grown men talking about the viability of a gun made of fish bones and human teeth. But You Will. You may think that Kenny and Phil never disagree on the overall merits of a film. But They Did. Join us so you can decide for yourself. That is, if this podcast ever really happened in the first place.

Blast from the Past, huh? Isn’t this whole podcast a blast from the past? How’s this for a blast from the past? The year is 1999. Brendan Fraser is a movie star. In fact, he’s high profile enough that two Academy Award winners (Christopher Walken and Sissy Spacek) play his parents. How’s that for a Blast from the Past? Alicia Silverstone is also a movie star. A studio has enough faith in her to ground a high-concept movie about a family who spends 35 years in a bunker and emerges on a bar-turned-cult-hangout. How’s that for a Blast from the Past? The movie features the following prominent plot points: baseball cards, swing dancing, an adult video store. How’s that for a Blast from the Past? Everclear, Dishwalla and the Squirrel Nut Zippers are showcased on the soundtrack! How’s that for a Blast from the Past? Brendan Fraser and Alicia Silverstone’s characters are named Adam and Eve. How’s THAT for a blast from the past? Join Phil, Kenny and Netflix social media coordinator (and Brendan Fraser stan) Erin La Rosa on this week’s Blast from the Past podcast.

Did you know the beloved Rogers and Hammerstein musical “The King and I” was based on a true story? And that in 1999 they made a live action, epic historical drama about said true story? And that the movie based on the true story starred Jodie Foster and Chow Yun-Fat? And that this obvious Oscar play based on a true story was only nominated for two minor Oscars? And that the true story had no songs and a ritual beheading? And that the Thai government banned the filming of the true story movie in Thailand because it probably wasn’t true?! Join Phil, Kenny and filmmaker and twitter superstar Jessica Ellis as they spend half the episode discussing the probably-not-true story of Anna and the King of Siam and the other half on, for some reason, Star Wars!

Phil and Kenny would love to do a podcast about The Bone Collector, but a terrible accident has befallen them, so in their stead, they’ve enlisted rookie podcaster, Danielle Savre (Station 19), to do all of the work for them! Is Danielle up to the daunting task of discussing the odd and questionable chemistry between Denzel Washington and Angelina Jolie? Will she buckle under the pressure of dissecting the film’s byzantine plot? Is she going to persevere as the podcast gets into dark, spooky and potentially deadly territory? Can she handle ranking a film on a scale from 0-99 for the first time in her life?! Tune in to find out the answers to all of these cliffhangers and more as the crew Collects Some Bones!

Hey yo, so we got something you might be interested in. It’s a podcast. A real nice podcast. It’s got Phil Iscove and Kenny Neibart and a discussion about Harold Ramis’ mob spoof “Analyze This.” You know, that funny movie where Bobby DeNiro plays a mafia boss with a case of the yips so he hires a shrink who’s played by that guy, you know the one, the comedian with the curly hair who loves Sammy Davis Jr. and baseball? That guy. A mobster going to a shrink! You’d think it was a fantasy not a comedy cuz everyone knows real mobsters ain’t need no psychological evaluation, capiche?

Phil and Kenny are joined by writer Stacy Traub (The Real O’Neals, Blackish, Glee) for an intimate discussion about the 1999 Richard Nixon comedy, Dick.
Although not a big hit, when it comes to cultural significance, Dick is more of a grow-er than a show-er. But Dick was a hard movie to pull off. How do you take a dingaling like Richard Nixon and avoid turning him into a one-eyed monster? How do you turn two 15 year old girls (Kirsten Dunst and Michelle Williams) into the trouser snakes who brought down the White House without making myriad boners? And how do you do a podcast about Dick without erecting an oral monument to Dick puns?
Join the crew for this episode about a movie that is a cocked rifle shooting a wad of premonition from 1999 into the unsuspecting face of 2018.

From the deranged mind of David Lynch, comes 1999's... sweetest movie? Based on a true story of an -- is this right? -- elderly man who rides a tractor to visit his dying brother... what? This dude did Blue Velvet!
Wait. What is this? This movie got a damn G rating? And was produced by Disney? Is this a joke?
We could have gotten Eraserhead! Wild at Heart! Even Dune would have been fun! But 1999's David Freakin Lynch movie is The Straight Story...
And, oh yeah, it's actually great! Join Phil, Kenny and special guest Simon Ennis as they discuss the film Lynch has called his "most experimental," as well as the entire oeuvre of one of America's finest, and wildest, filmmakers.

Oh Behave! Phil and Kenny swing into the groovy movie that may have killed Mike Meyers’ shaggadelic career! Guess he didn’t make us horny, baby!
Get in their belly as they discuss how whether this movie is more or less pleasurable than a kick to the mummy-daddy button! Does Heather Graham’s Felicity Shagwell age well?! Does mini-me still tickle you?! Can a movie constructed completely of recycled jokes work?!

In honor of the upcoming Oscars, Phil, Kenny and special guest Teddy Bressman (writer, Future Man) look at 1999 Best Picture Nominee Green Mile, starring Oscar Winner Tom Hanks, Oscar Nominee Michael Clarke Duncan, Oscar Nominee James Cromwell, Oscar Nominee Graham Greene, Oscar Nominee Patricia Clarkson, Oscar Nominee Gary Sinise and Oscar Nominee Sam Rockwell, and Written and Directed by Oscar Nominee Frank Darabont.

On a cold, dark February day, two podcasters (Phil Iscove and Kenny Neibart) and a special guest (Todd VanDerWerff of Vox.com) entered a podcasting studio to discuss the seminal found footage film, The Blair Witch Project. Their plan was to discuss how this film, made for only $35,000, grossed nearly $250 million and changed Hollywood forever, in a funny and insightful way.
But the three were never heard from again. This is the audio footage they left behind.Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
In Part 2 of the Julia Roberts-Valentine’s day two-fer, Phil and Kenny are once again joined by Corinne Stikeman and Melissa Lora, though one or both of them might Runaway before the podcast is over, because that’s what women do, amiright Garry Marshall?

In the first of a special two-part Julia Roberts-themed Valentine’s Day episode, Phil and Kenny are joined by rom-com aficionados Corinne Stikeman and Melissa Lora. In Part 1, the foursome will take a stroll down Notting Hill. Perhaps they will wander into a Travel Book store. Or catch a matinee of Helix. Or maybe they’ll even taste the cuisine at Tony’s restaurant (though even if they do, it’ll probably be mostly cut out and what remains will just be confusing). But please listen because, after all, we’re just a girl, standing in front of a boy, asking you to love our podcast.

Six years ago, Phil and Kenny thought they recorded a podcast on Ashley Judd’s “Double Jeopardy”... but they later learned it was actually about “Kiss the Girls.” Can Phil and Kenny record another podcast ostensibly about “Double Jeopardy” without breaking the law? Can they again argue about Ashley Judd’s squandered potential without ending up in jail? Can they re-litigate the believability of this film while also contextualizing it within the specific but oddly widespread genre of “shadowy poster thrillers” and still reunite with their long-lost son? Download this episode to find out, and also be complicit in what may be a crime.

It’s weird to say an $80 million movie, directed by Ron Howard and starring Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson could be the hidden gem of 1999, but Phil and Kenny seem to think that just may be the case. In this episode, the guys break down one of 1999s biggest flops, EdTV. Why did it flop? Did it deserve its fate? Does any big budget movie have a shorter Wikipedia page? And, on a scale of 0-99, how much will Phil be annoyed by Kenny’s extensive reality TV knowledge? Join us for the answers to these questions and more this week on Podcast Like It’s 1999.

So. Uh. We recorded an episode on "American Beauty" before the allegations about its star came to light. We kinda had to. It was undeniably one of the most important movies of 1999. It influenced the style of every studio-backed Oscar play for 15 years. It basically has "this was made in 1999" scribbled into the corner of every frame. It won Best Picture, guys. So, here it is, our discussion on "American Beauty" directed by Sam Mendes, written by Alan Ball, starring Annette Bening, Chris Cooper, Thora Birch, Mena Suvari, Wes Bentley, Alison Janney, Scott Bakula and John Cho in one scene and no one else of note.

In this episode Phil and Kenny dive into “Deep Blue Sea,” either the dumbest or most brilliant movie of 1999. Don’t believe us? This is a movie about a supermodel scientist (Saffron Burrows) who convinces a preppy billionaire (Samuel L. Jackson) that her team of genetical engineers (including Michael Rappaport) has found the cure for Alzheimer’s disease by genetically mutating sharks, which quickly turn against their creators. LL Cool J is a heroic chef. Thomas Jane is a heroic... good swimmer(?). And, for better or worse, Phil and Kenny are enraptured by this piece of movie magic.

Join Phil and Kenny as they take you back to 1999, by way of 1950s Italy, in Anthony Minghella's "The Talented Mr. Ripley." Why does "Ripley" hold up better than most 1999 films? Is this Matt Damon's best performance ever? Why didn't Jude Law become the star he was destined to be? Why was this movie largely ignored, yet still endures in ways other 1999 films haven't?

Drugs! Raves! Ecstasy! Vegas! Amway! Let's go back to the go-go 90s in Doug Liman's "Go." In what ways did Liman and screenwriter John August go right and go wrong? Are we going to see a more 1999 movie than "Go?" How did go for the young stars of "Go" in "Go?" And where did all of those go-getters go after "Go?" Go with Phil and Kenny as they go ahead and discuss "Go!"

In this episode, Phil and Kenny mosey on over to Barry Sonnenfeld's steampunk (?) Western (?) comedy (?) "Wild Wild West." Was the film deserving of the wagon-load of Razzies it took home in 1999? Is Will Smith and Kevin Kline the worst on-screen pairing of the year? Was there a hidden brilliance to Kenneth Branagh's performance as a legless man obsessed with mechanical spiders? And what exactly was Salma Hayek even doing there? Mount up and well tell you the tale of the biggest bomb of 1999.

Phil and Kenny dive into the deep end to discuss and dissect Stanley Kubrick's "Eyes Wide Shut." Is this film a masterpiece or merely an excuse for a 20 minute masked orgy? Was the 400 day continuous shoot the reason Tom and Nicole's marriage ended, or was it the deeply troubling depiction of a marriage in crisis? And how just much psychological abuse is permittable? Are the rules different when it comes from a master? Phil and Kenny break it all down on Episode 1 of "Podcast like its 1999."
