The Shiterion Collection

Nostalgia princess and film writer Kate Santos & comedy queen / podcast host for What’s Your Sign? Stevie Anderson rediscover 1990s films through a critical (and comedic) lens for a podcast that asks the daring question: Is this move sh*t, is it high concept, or is it somewhere in-between? Stock your Y2K pantry, load up the VCR, and pull out some Fruit Roll Ups as the two hosts guide you through the culturally-ignored and critically-forgotten mainstream films of the 1990s.

Latest Episodes:

The Crush (1993) starring Alicia Silverstone, Cary Elwes, and Jennifer Rubin May 26, 2020

A lonely newcomer to a preppy neighborhood in Seattle, 28-year-old journalist Nick (played by Cary Elwes of The Princess Bride) finds it flattering that his landlord’s 14-year-old daughter Adrian (played by Alicia Silverstone in her first film role ever) has taken an interest in him. Rather than putting an end to the “crush” by having an honest and frank conversation with her, he decides to lead her on and the relationship spins into extraordinarily creepy territory. With a nauseating plot and main character who can only be described as deeply unsettling, the film culminates in a third act that has you rooting for the bad guy… or girl. The hosts discuss Kubrick's Lolita, the director’s lawsuit, and Silverstone’s early acting chops and career as the ultimate rich-girl teenager.

Phenomenon (1996) starring John Travolta, Kyra Sedgwick, Forest Whitaker and Robert Duvall May 19, 2020

The hosts discuss the 1996 supernatural romantic-drama Phenomenon in The Shiterion Collection’s very special John Travolta Double Feature. George Malley (Travolta) is a Northern California everyman living on a farmhouse, working on cars, and crushing on Kyra Sedgwick, when one day –while stumbling back home from a bar– he receives a ray of light that grants him a supernatural ability to learn quickly. After discovering his abilities, he learns to cipher military codes, grow big ripe juicy red tomatoes, and gains the ability to detect earthquakes. Things get even weirder when his powers –which are bound to kill him– are discovered by scientists. With heavy Scientology undertones seemingly ripped from L Ron Hubbard’s teachings, the film was an integral part of John Travolta’s hard-earned 90s acting comeback which propelled him to a spot on the Hollywood A-list indefinitely. The hosts also discuss their newly-launched podcast CINEMASTROLOGY.

Combining their love of astrology and movies, the Cinemastrology hosts guide listeners on an astrological journey that helps them not only navigate their lives but also... their movie queues! CLICK HERE TO LISTEN AND SUBSCRIBE!

Michael (1996) starring John Travolta, Andie MacDowell & William Hurt May 12, 2020

The lives of three Chicago tabloid employees are completely upended when they travel to rural Iowa to meet an angel living on Earth. Michael, played by total babe John Travolta, is a cigarette-smoking, sexy dancing, fun-seeking Archangel in this 1996 film directed by Nora Ephron. With an original movie score composed by ultra-Americana songwriter Randy Newman, the film exudes heartfelt earnestness and American Protestantism even in the more rebellious scenes. Michael (1996) is only one film in a trove of others of the same ilk –all portraying flawed angels falling to Earth to complete a mission– made in the mid-90s by big name directors. But it’s the only film that also interweaves a likely unnecessary romantic plot between actors William Hurt (a prize-winning journalist who lost it all) and Andie MacDowell (a dog trainer with a penchant for writing Dolly Parton-type songs), and even features a terrier as one of the main characters– luckily not the one from Fraiser. Join your hosts as they swoon over Travolta’s wholesome Instagram and obsess over his current legacy as a camp icon.

Disney's The Kid (2000) starring Bruce Willis, Emily Mortimer, Spencer Breslin, & Lily Tomlin May 05, 2020

Fresh off filming The Sixth Sense, sex symbol and beloved actor Bruce Willis teamed up once again (perhaps unwillingly) to co-star alongside a kid in a supernatural hit. Co-starring child actor Spencer Breslin (The Cat In The Hat) as Willis’ younger self, The Kid walks the line between genres, posing as a heartwarming rom-com and supernatural time-swap movie –sometimes in the same scene. Practically a PSA for going to therapy, the hosts discuss the film’s conflicting plot, our own childhoods, and the star’s legal battles that could’ve landed him in this strange –but not strange enough– Shiterion classic.

Ma (2019) starring Octavia Spencer, Diana Silvers, & Juliette Lewis Apr 28, 2020

Lockdown in full effect and movies queued up, we are BACK! Pandemic be damned, we have Shiterion universe films to review!!!

We take a look at at a MA-dern Shiterion classic, Ma (2019). Octavia Spencer kills it as the bowl-cut having, vet assistant scrubs wearing, dumpy local who gets high school kids drunk. Exploring the rarely examined trope of that person who should have left their hometown a long time ago was a rad move on behalf of director Tate Taylor. Your hosts also examine the long term friendship between former roommates and frequent collaboraters, Taylor and Spencer. Ma was very aware that it entered the cinematic space looking to laugh at itself, but the movie that billed itself as a horror could have used a splash more tension.

Tammy and the T-Rex (1994) starring Denise Richards & Paul Walker Jan 14, 2020

Hand-to-groin contact, a bloody brain transplant, and a Denise Richards striptease– the gore cut of the 1994 b-movie Tammy and the T-Rex DVD was well worth our wait. The hosts take on the plot of the classic sci-fi film in which Paul Walker transforms into a tyrannosaurus rex by a strange scientist after being mauled by a tiger and left for dead by a murderous (high school) biker gang whose leader is in love with Tammy, played by Shiterion favorite Denise Richards. The hosts also discuss tokenism, Coppola’s The Outsiders, b-movie tropes of the 1980s, and theorize about whether Paul Walker is the grandson of Tammy director Stewart Raffill (who also directed the McDonalds film Mac and Me).

This last episode of Season 2 of The Shiterion Collection is dedicated to the late Paul Walker. We love you!

If you can’t find the film at your local video store (support physical media!), it may be available to stream through SlingTV.

Human Nature (2001) starring Tim Robbins, Patricia Arquette, & Rhys Ifans Nov 26, 2019

In the 99th episode of The Shiterion Collection, the hosts discuss the Charlie Kaufman film Human Nature, released in 2001. The list of names involved in creating the film consists of many of the most talented people ever to exist in the film industry– including director Michel Gondry, Academy Award-winning actors Tim Robbins and Patricia Arquette, and Spike Jonze as a producer. Despite a zany plot, an A-list cast (with cameos from Hilary Duff, Peter Dinklage, and Rosie Perez) and a heady philosophical message, the film was unsuccessful at the box office and unpopular with critics. Eighteen years later, the Shiterion hosts discuss the vibrant, whimsical, beautiful and sad worlds of both Charlie Kaufman and Michel Gondry, the film’s bigger messages on human evolution and ecology, and, as Roger Ebert put it: “the film’s screwball charm”.

If you can’t find the film at your local video store (support physical media!), its available to purchase on iTunes.

Swimfan (2002) starring Jesse Bradford, Erika Christensen, & Shiri Appleby Nov 19, 2019

A teen psycho thriller for the instant message era, Swimfan was released in 2002 to lukewarm reviews all echoing the same sentiment– critics believed (and still believe) the film is a lesser Fatal Attraction set in the world of high school competitive swimming. Starring hunk of the year Jesse Bradford alongside blonde teen-goddess Erika Christensen, the film hits a lot of the notes we love to see in a high school erotic thriller– including a steamy pool sex scene and over-the-top violence. The hosts discuss the thriller genre as it pertained to hormone-driven teens, scary stalkers, and the cult of Jesse Bradford.

If you can’t find the film at your local video store (support physical media!), its available to stream through YouTube.

Billboard Dad (1998) starring Mary-Kate Olsen & Ashley Olsen Nov 12, 2019

Straight to video and into America's hearts, The Olsen Twins set the bar when it came to tween content. From 1992 to 2004, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen starred in a total of 36 movies and have now disappeared into obscurity, running successful fashion lines with a super fat net worth. Your hosts take a look at straight to video, surreal escapade Billboard Dad filmed when they were just 12-years-old. Your hosts discuss the camp that is an Olsen twin movie, the OGs of the cool girl aesthetic, and make a public plea to MK & A to let us write their official biography.

Welcome To The Dollhouse (1995) starring Heather Matarazzo, Matthew Faber, & Brendan Sexton III Nov 05, 2019

Director Todd Solondz made waves in 1995 with the debut of his independent film Welcome to the Dollhouse which is set in a world all too familiar world (the suburbs) but from a perspective never before explored– from the eyes of a dorky lonely tween girl named Dawn Weiner. Bullied for being ugly and desperate for the attention of a hot high school musician, Dawn’s world is sad, funny, and feels true to life– making the film a realistic exploration of the sexuality and alienation that awaits everyone on the other side of puberty. A precursor to the mumble-cringe at-school indie genre that spurred titles like Napoleon Dynamite and Ghost World, the film also serves as indisputable inspiration for more modern works including Eighth Grade and PEN15. The hosts discuss middle school, rape jokes, and Dawn's trendsetting style.

If you can’t find the film at your local video store (support physical media!), its available to stream through Amazon Video or Vudu.

Ever After (1998) starring Drew Barrymore & Anjelica Huston Oct 29, 2019

A tale as olde as time! Today's film was a 1998 update on the modern Cinderella story and possibly the must ultimate sleepover movie ever. Your hosts Kate and Stevie discuss Drew Barrymore's effortless aesthetic, the historical accuracy, and Anjelica Huston's on set love affair with a horse wrangler that almost (literally) killed her!

The Net (1995) starring Sandra Bullock, Jeremy Northam, & Dennis Miller Oct 22, 2019

Your hosts have hacked into the mainframe. ;) We take a look at 1995's The Net, a film that asks: what would the society be like in a world where computers knew everything about us? ...Yes...sounds so bizarre...can't relate. We talk the cult of Sandra Bullock and her knack for the Shiterion, Mozart's Ghost, the impressive resume of Irwin Winkler, and living in the digital age—duh!

Glory Daze (1996) starring Ben Affleck, Sam Rockwell, French Stewart, and Vien Hong Oct 15, 2019

Post-college graduation quarter-life crisis intellectual chatty comedies were at their height in the mid-1990s with directors like Noah Baumbach and Whit Stillman pioneering the genre. Another genre was simultaneously emerging– the “angst generation” life-after-punk rock films that chronicled 20-somethings disillusioned with their futures. Glory Daze is a 1996 film that attempts to combine both movements, and fails horrendously. A talented cast (along with some stragglers) led Ben Affleck, the film follows a group of graduating party boys in their adventures in sex, booze, and becoming slackers. Featuring a great soundtrack (with a few terrible songs about poop), the film succeeds in bringing up serious issues but the writing lacks the depth to bring any of those issues into focus. The hosts discuss toxic masculinity, Sam Rockwell, and the angst generation.

If you can’t find the film at your local video store (support physical media!), its available to stream through Hoopla with your library card.

My Giant (1998) starring Billy Crystal & Gheorghe Muresan Oct 08, 2019

Billy Crystal was at the height of his comedy career, but this movie all about height ended up falling short. My Giant (1998) tried to be an ode to Andre the Giant, but just turned into a big old ball of depressing male bullshit. We discuss the second creepiest kiss in Shiterion history, the sad reality of Hollywood and show business, & why creating a movie around one schtick just doesn't stick!

Fear (1996) starring Reese Witherspoon, Mark Wahlberg, & Alyssa Milano Oct 01, 2019

Romance and intrigue, murder and mayhem– the 1996 neo-noir erotic thriller Fear may have been a sleeper-hit at the box office but quickly found its place on the video store shelf as a scary sleepover staple. The film stars a young Reese Witherspoon opposite Mark Wahlberg, early in their now-successful film careers. Witherspoon plays Nicole, a sweet, smart and curious teenaged girl who falls for the ultra-hot David (played by Wahlberg), a sensitive boy who is hiding a dark past. A teenaged love story with an erotic-horror bent, the film features an idyllic setting in Washington state, an exploration of parent-child relationships, and the show-stopping scene on a rollercoaster no one can forget. The hosts discuss everything from Mark Wahlberg’s sketchy past to the very 1996 fashion on display throughout the film.

We interrupt your regularly scheduled Shiterion programming to talk all about the Ari Aster's Director's Cut of Midsommar (2019). Your hosts Kate & Stevie went on a kayaking trip up in the Puget Sound, and during our travels we got to catch the Director's Cut playing up in Seattle. Your hosts watched the extra 24 minutes added to the film while drinking a bottle of white wine. We discuss the brilliance that is Aster and his affinity to horror, Nicolas Cage being a stan, what a lot of critics get wrong about the film, THE BRIGHTNESS, and true creepiness that is ancient Scandinavian traditions.

Josie and the Pussycats (2001) starring Rachael Leigh Cook, Rosario Dawson, Tara Reid, Alan Cumming, & Parker Posey Sep 10, 2019

Rachael Leigh Cook, Rosario Dawson, and Tara Reid star in this pre-9/11 musical comedy as the cat ear-wearing mega-label pop band Josie and the Pussycats. Although the film is based on the comic of the same name from the Archie Universe, the plot is thoroughly early-naughts featuring a cameo from Carson Daly (then engaged to Reid) and a satirical boy band impersonating The Backstreet Boys. Over-the-top villains played by Alan Cumming and Parker Posey bring the high-camp drama to what fashions itself as a light-hearted teen flick but delivers so much more. The hosts discuss the film's critique of rampant consumerism that trudges over artistic talent as well as the possible reasons the film performed poorly at the box office.

1997's Anaconda featured an all-star cast –Jennifer Lopez, Ice Cube, Owen Wilson, and Jon Voight– in the creature feature of a decade. The film follows a couple of poachers as they coax a documentary film crew into helping them find the largest snake in the world. Unlike many B-movies of the 90s, the film leans into the funny– making it a mainstay movie on cable networks. The hosts discuss real anaconda attacks, the brilliance of Jon Voight, and the (IRL) Amazon fires contributing to climate change.

Fight Club (1999) starring Edward Norton, Brad Pitt, & Helena Bonham Carter Aug 20, 2019

Adapted from Chuck Palahniuk's book of the same name, Fight Club (1999) was a dense, heady smash DVD hit that has remained a cult classic. The film revolves around the life of an unnamed narrator (Edward Norton) who lives his life in an alienating office job only to go home surrounded by Ikea furniture in his city condo. Attempting to work through his depressed feelings (which have manifested into physical symptoms like insomnia), he attends an array of support groups where he meets the also-depressed Marla Singer (Helena Bonham Carter in an iconic role). He also meets a new best friend in Tyler Durden (Brad Pitt) and together, they start a fight club that quickly rises in popularity among men. The hosts discuss the directing genius of David Fincher, various Easter eggs, and how –despite the fact that there are so many films about men– there are few films that explore modern masculinity.

Wild Things (1998) starring Denise Richards, Neve Campbell, Matt Dillon & Kevin Bacon Jul 30, 2019

Allegations of rape shake an affluent Florida swamp town in the 1998 VHS classic Wild Things. Starring Denise Richards as a teenaged femme fatale, the film follows Matt Dillon's character, a high school guidance counselor, through a series of events that land him in the hot seat. The hosts discuss the acting talents brought forth by the star-studded cast as well as the film's other merits– including a killer score and sweeping cinematography that showcases the wild Floridian landscape. The film is unique in its ability to steer the audience through a labyrinth of twists and turns without ever feeling trite or boring– landing it a rightful place on the "cult classics" shelf.

8 Mile (2002) starring Eminem, Brittany Murphy, Kim Basinger, & Mekhi Phifer Jul 16, 2019

If you like mom’s spaghetti, hip-hop, and/or “stan” Eminem then the 2008 film 8 Mile starring the rapper as a version of himself up against poverty (and… racism???) could be for you. After being discovered by Dr. Dre in the late-90s, Eminiem rose to fame as a controversial cultural figure who inarguably ruled MTV and the hip-hop airwaves during the early-2000s. Dubbed as a vanity project by some critics, the hosts review the melodramatic film based on his gritty life story. Despite the clunky script and strange blue-noir cinematography, the film features an Academy Award-winning cast and crew, including Kim Bassinger as Eminem’s hot (but kinda-troubled) mom. Unfortunately, as the second film in The Shiterion Collection’s Brittany Murphy Double Feature, the film doesn’t feature the iconic actress as prominently as remembered. To atone for this, the hosts will be back with another Brittany Murphy joint before the end of the season.

The Ramen Girl (2008) starring Brittany Murphy & Toshiyuki Nishida Jul 09, 2019

To pre-teens and teens growing up in the 90s and early 2000s, Brittany Murphy was an ICON. Her performances in Clueless and Girl, Interrupted prove that there's no denying– she was the "it girl". One of the last films she made before she died, The Ramen Girl was Murphy's early foray into producing. Although the film received little publicity, it shows off Murphy's unforgettable acting talent and her skills in developing a character that is flawed yet lovable. The hosts discuss cultural differences in Japan, the pre-foodie era, and the behind-the-scenes of a film that features one of the best talents of a generation.

Candyman...candyman...candyman...candyman...yeah right! We're not saying it a 5th time, are you nuts!?! This Clive Barker joint is a slice of horror heaven set in a brutalist Chicago background with a kickass Philip Glass score. The film takes place in the socially complex setting of the notorious Cabrini Green housing projects, but the film uses the wanna-be-white savior Virginia Madsen and powerhouse horror king Tony Todd to show its audience that maybe...just maybe...the fear we project on less desirable neighborhoods comes from the evil that's inside us all along. Trigger warning: BEES!

Selena (1997) starring Jennifer Lopez & Edward James Olmos Jun 04, 2019

¡Viva la Reina! After the tragic death of crossover superstar Selena Quintanilla, the family was bombarded with many media outlets thirsting to tell her story. They had to act fast and after coming together with writer-director Gregory Nava, the Quintanilla family created a masterpiece that feels like a living testament of grief, mourning, and appreciation for the vivacious life of the rising singer. Jennifer Lopez shines in her breakthrough role and transforms into Selena, to the point that she even lived with the family. The film started filming only a year after her death and you can feel the heart and soul of her family, her fans, and her legacy. Other bio-pics take note.

Blank Check (1994) starring Brian Bonsall, Karen Duffy, Miguel Ferrer, & Tone Loc May 28, 2019

Check, please! This Disney film had all the bells and whistles to appeal to its audience. A kid with too many zeros in his bank account, spending all his cash on ice cream, limo rides, and wall-to-wall TV screens. While it started to tease some interesting noir cop-film vibes, the movie ended up just being a weirdly positive platform for pedophilia. Your hosts chat the problems in pop culture with the older female, young male scenario and also how Tone Loc should have been in way more movies.

Tommy Boy (1995) starring Chris Farley & David Spade May 21, 2019

Schnikes definitely sums up this film. Jam packed with catch phrases and scene after scene of Chris Farley giving it his all, this movie left its mark in the go-to comedy film hall of fame. Upon rewatching, the hosts don't feel the familiar love they once felt and have a hard time grappling with that. With a stacked group of writers and amazing talent why did this film end up being so one note? We chat Farley's legacy, generational wealth, the SNL film franchise, and Rob Lowe's weird ass villain era all here on The Shiterion Collection.

Mallrats (1995) Jason Lee, Jeremy London, Shannen Doherty, Jason Mewes, & Kevin Smith May 14, 2019

Having to follow up from the breakout success of Clerks, Kevin Smith had a tall order on his hands. Or dare we say, a mall order on his hands? (Bad joke.) Smith's second feature was received poorly by critics, but its unique cinematic display of mall culture and the ultimate 90s time capsule he created leaves your hosts to wonder if this film is a great nostalgic blast from the past... or a true victory for dialogue driven films? Lets just say there's some disagreements. Snoochie boochies forever, though.

Now And Then (1995) starring Christina Ricci, Rosie O'Donnell, Thora Birch, Melanie Griffith, Gaby Hoffmann, Demi Moore, Ashleigh Aston Moore, & Rita Wilson May 07, 2019

Despite its negative reviews and unfair comparisons to Rob Reiner’s Stand By Me, Now and Then (directed by Lesli Linka Glatter) was one of those great films that became a VHS sleepover classic. The film centers on four very different friends growing up in an Indiana suburb in the 1970s. The four girls bike around town, talk about boobs and boys, try to raise the dead, and have deep conversations about their parents. A banging soundtrack (that Stevie owns on vinyl) and a fantastic cast (feat. cameos from Brendan Fraser and Janeane Garofalo), the film deserves to be seen– preferably with a gaggle of girlfriends.

Tiptoes (2003) starring Matthew McConaughey, Kate Beckinsale, Gary Oldman, Peter Dinklage, & Patricia Arquette Apr 30, 2019

Welcome to Season 2 of The Shiterion Collection. We start off this collection with a doozy, the absolutely controversial Tiptoes! Is this film an ode to little people? Or just a strangely long collection of footage of Gary Oldman on his knees doing that trick to you do to entertain children. Your hosts discuss the controversial Sundance (yes, SUNDANCE) Q&A with director Matthew Bright, as reported by a first hand account. This cast is stacked, and Peter Dinklage claims the director's cut is "beautiful" but could that be true for a movie that reads more like an exploitative soft core porn?

So I Married An Axe Murderer (1993) starring Mike Myers, Nancy Travis, & Anthony LaPaglia Mar 19, 2019

Mike Myers starred in the horror-comedy So I Married An Axe Murderer only a year after the smash hit Wayne's World was released. The film, about a man afraid of commitment who marries a woman suspected of murdering her past loves, should have been a classic. Instead, it did poorly at the box office and ended up as a cult classic. The Hitchcock-inspired flick originally starred Sharon Stone alongside Woody Allen. When SNL's Myers signed on, he took the liberty to add more gags, prosthetics, and accents which seemingly dissolve into a warm-up for Myers' Austin Powers characters developed soon after.

This is the SEASON FINALE for The Shiterion Collection. Tune in for next season where we'll discuss more forgotten and beloved American 1990s films.

Wish Upon A Star (1996) starring Katherine Heigl & Danielle Harris Mar 12, 2019

A body swap film with heavy metallic lipgloss and Mormon undertones, Wish Upon a Star featured a teenaged Katherine Heigl as the school hottie Alexia and the now-horror queen Danielle Harris as her grungy sister Hayley. After making a wish on a shooting star, frumpy Hayley finds herself in her sister’s body with the chance to win over the heart of heartthrob Kyle– who also happens to be Alexia’s boyfriend. A bit twisted with iconic looks and memorable lines, the influence of the film –which premiered in 1996 on the Disney Channel– can be seen in teenage films since (most obviously, 10 Things I Hate About You). The hosts discuss the band Moonpools & Caterpillars, body swap tropes, the Mormon values of the director and their undying love for the genre.

Wild Wild West (1999) starring Will Smith, Kevin Kline & Salma Hayek Mar 05, 2019

Wicky-wild indeed! On this episode, we expand our genre of Shiterion films to a "steampunk, hip-hop, western". This movie and it's Men In Black director, tried to ride the late 90s wave into the Willennium, but it ended up being left in the dust. Kevin Kline and Salma Hayek made for great cast mates, but when a movie relies slowly on gadgets and gizmos, there's bound to be a few screws loose. But hey! We see Will Smith's balls in the first 10 minutes!

GOTJ packs a lot of jokes and tongue-in-cheek humor, but also comments on class and how the Western hemisphere views those "other parts of the world".

This movie is for the dogs!!!!! The third installment of a beloved Amy Heckerling series, LWTN does away with baby voice overs and instead focuses on the minds of dogs. Although voiced by mega talents Danny DeVito and Diane Keaton, the dog plot doesn't leave much to nibble on. What we all came for is that INSANE ELECTRIC CHEMISTRY THAT IS TRAVOLTA AND ALLEY. Wow.

Jerry Maguire (1996) starring Tom Cruise, Renee Zellweger, & Cuba Gooding Jr. Jan 29, 2019

Tom Cruise plays big-time sports agent Jerry Maguire, a man that risks and subsequently loses everything when he distributes a heartfelt manifesto about the being less evil agents to his co-workers. Maguire develops a relationship with Renee Zellweger’s character, a single mom in her mid-20s (she will mention this!) and his rogue coworker. Cuba Gooding Jr. stars in his Oscar-winning Best Supporting Actor role as Maguire’s last remaining client, plays a fading sports star determined to provide for his beloved family. Regina King shines as the supportive matriarch. More than twenty years after the film’s 1996 release, the heartfelt sentiment remains endearing. The hosts discuss the iconic lines, Cameron Crowe’s directing, how the movie dips into about 20 minutes of Shiterion territory, and admit to missing Tom Cruise play serious roles.

The 1996 film Multiplicity starring Michael Keaton (Beetlejuice, Batman) opposite Southern goddess Andie MacDowell (Groundhog Day, Four Weddings and a Funeral) features Keaton as four different versions of his character Doug. Doug is an overworked father with no time for himself. After stepping in to take over for his employees on a construction project at the Gemini Institute, he is noticed by a wacky doctor who takes him on a journey into cloning himself. The hosts discuss which one of Keaton's clones were most crush-able (hint: there's only one who is a feminist) and why critics agree that the movie's plot falls short on MULTIPLE levels.

Major Payne (1995) starring Damon Wayans, Karyn Parsons and Steven Martini Jan 15, 2019

Hello VHS cadets! Look, Damon Wayans is 1000% comedy gold. HE BRINGS IT. From In Living Colour to 1995's Major Payne. This movie combines the feelings of so many military-summer-camp-esque films of the 90s, like if Heavyweights met In The Army Now. Wayans is worth the watch and the jokes are heavy up top, but the plot comes to a crawling through the mud pace too soon. Oh Major Payne...you will always live fondly in my memories....

Bed of Roses (1996) starring Christian Slater, Mary Stuart Masterson and Pamela Adlon Jan 08, 2019

The 1996 film Bed of Roses should have been the classic go-to romantic film for the VHS generation. Directed by first-time director Michael Goldenberg, the film starred two of the hottest actors of the 1990s: Mary Stuart Masterson (Benny & Joon, Fried Green Tomatoes) and Christian Slater (Interview With A Vampire, Heathers). The film follows the relationship of an eccentric (read: stalker) Manic Pixie Dream Boy and a workaholic with a dark past. Although the characters appeared to critics in the 90s as "two sad sacks... so earnest so sweet", the hosts take a different (and more modern) approach analyzing this complex and toxic relationship.

Jingle All the Way (1996) starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sinbad and Phil Hartman Dec 25, 2018

The now-classic Christmas movie “Jingle All The Way” features a hard-working dad played by Arnold Schwarzenegger go head-to-head with another dad played by Sinbad over an exclusive toy. With a release date that coincided with the Tickle Me Elmo craze, the film feels like a critique of American overconsumption and the parenting mentality that led to the ongoing “participation trophy” rhetoric around millennial childhoods. The film’s release was met with its fair share of controversy (mainly around the script, which may or may not have originated in the mind of a high school teacher). The hosts discuss that controversy as well as the film’s hint of racial and class divide and its surface-level critiques of 1990s American Christmas culture.

Robin Williams Double Feature: Jack (1996) Dec 18, 2018

Robin Williams had a knack for playing the one person that no one else in the world could understand. From his bizarre beginnings as an alien on the sitcom “Mork & Mindy” to his kooky portrayal of real-life doctor “Patch Adams”, Robbins had the ability to capture what it was about us that felt weird and unique. The 1996 film “Jack” is no exception. Directed by Francis Ford Coppola, the silly film –written by the man now responsible for “The Purge” franchise– follows a ten-year-old struggling with a genetic disorder that makes him appear to look four times his age. The hosts discuss appearances by JLo and Diane Lane as well as Robin’s performance. An impossible premise masquerading as a feel-good hit, the hosts question whether “Jack” is instead one of the darkest existentialist films in recent decades.

Robin Williams Double Feature: Bicentennial Man (1999) Dec 11, 2018

Robin Williams embodied all that was great about the 1990s. But his unbridled physical humor paired with a natural ability to bring warmth to the screen were both missed in the 1999 drama “Bicentennial Man” in which Williams plays an android. The film opens with a slightly weird obsession with a child named Lil’ Miss and ends with Robin’s character marrying Lil’ Miss’ youthful doppelganger granddaughter. The hosts discuss the trademark Williamesque performance and critique the lengthy harried-paced script (based on a novel by Issac Asimov, and written by “Matilda” writer Nicholas Kazan).

The Other Sister (1999) starring Juliette Lewis, Diane Keaton & Giovanni Ribisi Dec 04, 2018

The late-90s film “The Other Sister” features Juliette Lewis and Giovanni Ribisi as a mentally-challenged couple navigating life in the big city. Directed by Garry Marshall (“Pretty Woman”, “The Princess Diaries”), the film was marketed as a rom-com with a twist. Diane Keaton plays a wealthy Republican WASP-type mom that smothers her daughter (Juliette Lewis’ character) all while looking chic AF. Lewis’ portrayal garnered all the wrong attention from critics when the film opened and the host dive into those reactions as well as more contemporary takes. The hosts discuss context, sensitivity and acting skills in comparing this film to other portrayals of people with intellectual disabilities (“Forrest Gump”, “Radio”, “I Am Sam”).

But many forgot this film which is almost exactly the same! “E.T.” might have had Spielberg, engaging subtext and Drew Barrymore but “Mac and Me” has uglier aliens, an unbelievable McDonalds dance-off and magical Coca-Cola.

This film describes itself as a “cult classic”... but we have yet to see a Midnight Showing of For Richer Or Poorer anywhere. Tim Allen and Kirstie Alley (who both went on to sort of fade out of the limelight) play a wealthy couple in a Trump-esque world that escape the IRS by blending in with a rural Amish family. The hosts talk about their adoration for Kirstie Alley and their disdain for Tim Allen, who both star in a film with a flimsy but forgivable plot with a forever-sweaty Wayne Knight.

This is The Shiterion Collection, Episode 8.

The 1980s saw a plethora of raunchy teenage sex summer camp films, some of which have evolved as modern classics.

Super fun, earnest, with too much self-confidence, the hosts explore why this might be the most Shiterion film yet...and discuss Andrew Keegan's modern day cult and illegal kombucha distribution ring!

Stir of Echoes (1999) starring Kevin Bacon, Kathryn Erbe, & Kevin Dunn Oct 30, 2018

A film that has everything (the acting chops of Kevin Bacon fresh off films like Apollo 13 and Wild Things, a horror plot conjured from the mind of great supernatural writer Richard Matheson, and a script written by one of the most successful screenwriters of all time) falls flat as possibly the worst film ever to have a 70% Rotten Tomatoes score. The hosts explore why that might be. This film should have been riding the wave of The Sixth Sense (released a mere month before) but Stir of Echoes lives on at the bottom of the $1 VHS bin.

Small Soldiers (1998) starring Tommy Lee Jones, Gregory Smith, Kirsten Dunst, Phil Hartman, David Cross, Jay Mohr, & Denis Leary Oct 23, 2018

Welcome to The Shiterion Collection, Episode 6.

From the director that brought you Gremlins, the hosts present you with… pretty much Gremlins but with GI Joes. It’s difficult to make a children’s war film that doesn’t glorify violence and has an overarching peaceful message but that’s exactly what the Joe Dante-directed Small Soldiers does. Combining stop-motion, animation and live-action, the film addresses Native American civil liberties and Vietnam opposition protests, all while critiquing American consumerism. Can a film critique imperialism and consumerism while pedaling soldier toys to kids during its promotion?

A Thin Line Between Love and Hate (1996) starring Martin Lawrence, Lynn Whitfield, Bobby Brown, & Regina King Oct 16, 2018

Welcome to The Shiterion Collection, Episode 5.

Martin Lawrence makes his directorial debut with the 1996 film A Thin Line Between Love and Hate. With homages to films like Billy Wilder’s Sunset Boulevard, we ask why Lawrence didn’t go on to evolve into a successful director. Lynn Whitfield gives the performance of a lifetime as a femme fatale out for blood. The noir features a star-studded cast including Regina King as the girl next door love interest and Bobby Brown as a player at Chocolate City. Our critics muse over, what did happen to the script of A Thin Line Between Love and Hate 2 that Martin Lawrence teased us with on social media back in 2015?

Benny & Joon (1993) starring Mary Stuart Masterson, Aidan Quinn, & Johnny Depp Oct 05, 2018

Welcome to The Shiterion Collection, Episode 3.

Benny and Joon are brother and sister living in an idyllic small town. Benny works as a mechanic and Joon is a painter, expressing her mental health issues via canvas. Joon, a smoothie snorkeling expert, requires a caregiver and wins one in a bet. In comes Johnny Depp, fresh off his role as Edward Scissorhands, as Sam, a character who channels Buster Keaton style with a 90s bent. Obviously, they fall in love. Is this a manic pixie trope disguised as an emotional romance about isolation, or a true-to-life positive portrayal of autism at a time when little was known about the disorder?

A lightning-charged melodrama with heavy themes including loneliness, bullying, and closeted homosexuality, the film Powder resonated with audiences during its release in 1995.
