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.
