Lions! Tigers! Filmshake! Oh my! We're in town with a few days to kill, and we're talking 1990's Predator 2. Does it even deserve to be mentioned in the same breath as Predator 1? Should we even live in a world where we have to say Predator 1? Speaking of out of this world, the villain in our punishment film, 1990s I Come In Peace (Dark Angel), repeats the title throughout the movie, a movie we talk about for so long in the intro to this episode, it made the marquee. Congratulations, Dolph!

Filmshake is Wild at Heart and Weird on Top! But if you've listened to us for even five minutes you already knew that. This episode, we're talking 1990s David Lynch quasi-road movie, Wild at Heart. It's got Filmshake favorites, Nicolas Cage and Laura Dern, but do we like it? Well, one of us thinks it's..."yucky." And fair warning: he says "yucky" about this movie as many times as Lynch references The Wizard of Oz IN this movie.
We also talk our punishment film, 1990's Nuns on the Run. Just who are these nuns, and why are they on the run, anyway? Only one way to find out! Watch the movie? No, that's yucky! Listen to Filmshake!

Right after one of your co-hosts was at death's door, we're back and talking 1990's Ghost! Is a dead Patrick Swayze better than a live anybody? Is a short-haired Demi Moore better than a long-haired anyone? Is Tony Goldwyn? We answer all these questions and more, and even try to talk about our awful punishment film, the not so gnarly 1990 non-comedic flop, Ghost Dad. It's time for Filmshake, the 90s Movies Podcast!

It's groundhog decade, baby! We're back in time to 1990! Starting off this year of all 1990 films strong with a childhood favorite - Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles! How bad did we want to be juvenile delinquents when we saw the foot clan's hideout filled with arcade games and halfpipes? How bad do we want to give April O'neil a shoulder rub? How awesome is that farm sequence when the turtles are near defeat! All this and more on this 90-minute episode of Filmshake! And by more, we mean we also talk about our "punishment" film, 1990's Spaced Invaders, a time capsule itself into 80s-flavored goofball aliens that are just as green, animatronic, and violent as our beloved turtles. Grab a slice of pizza, hop on your skateboard, and come cruise the audio-sewers of our nostalgia-filled deep dive! Plus a trivia battle to cap it all off, filled with a ghostly hunk and one of the Frog brothers! Long live the '90s!

Filmshake's year of 1999 ends with one of 1999's final releases, The Green Mile. Your hosts were so emotionally devastated by this film 25 years ago that they haven't had the heart to venture back to it...until now. But this isn't just an episode on The Green Mile...it's a culmination of everything Filmshake has done this year...which means it's time for one more cell-rattling argument! But before your hosts can fight over anything, they have to discuss this episode's punishment film: the incredible, incredibly bad 1999 Mortal Kombat-inspired "techno-future" softcore and swords adaptation of Beowulf!
It's two movies that will inspire two completely different uses of tissues...and it's only on Filmshake!

Jordan and Nic return to unwrap 1999s The Mummy. However, it seems that they'd much rather unwrap Rachel Weisz! Listen as two grown men who have produced children fawn over a woman from a 25-year-old movie as if they've never even seen a woman before! Marvel as they somehow discuss Rachel Weisz Esquire Magazine covers almost as much as the actual film! Sure, they talk about The Mummy...and it's not too great sequel, 2001's The Mummy Returns...but Rachel Weisz is also in The Mummy Returns! Did you know that in 2010, a United Kingdom publication declared that Rachel Weisz is the woman most men want to marry? Tune in to hear an avalanche of more facts about how desirable Rachel Weisz is...and stick around for The Mummy talk!

The name's The 90s Movies Podcast. Filmshake, The 90s Movies Podcast. And if you expect us to talk, you're in luck because we're back and talking 1999s Bond film The World Is Not Enough, and it's shocking, positively shocking.
To kick things off though, we quickly recap our dreadful punishment film that most definitely does not have the Midas touch, 1999s exorable North Korean animated flick, The Legend of the Titanic, one of the worst films ever made. Then we move on to our perfectly rounded conversation on Pierce Brosnan's third outing as the legendary James Bond. Sound too good to be true? Well lucky for you, Christmas does come more than once a year... and nobody does it better!

Get ready for the touching story of a podcast and his right hand because this episode, Filmshake is talking 1999's horror comedy, Idle Hands. We're split on this episode like two stoners over the last hit, resulting in one of the funniest arguments we've ever had: is Idle Hands dumb on purpose, or is it just dumb? All that arguing gives us the munchies, so for a few minutes we also (mildly, and at a few times forgetting our point) argue about that same year's Teaching Mrs. Tingle. Then we fell asleep.

Who killed JFK? What really happened at Area 51? Why are they putting Fluoride in our water? Will anyone ever create the perfect 90s Movies Podcast? Yes, Filmshake did, and this time out, we're covering 1999's conspiracy-minded Jeff Bridges and Tim Robbins-starring Arlington Road! Was Lee Harvey Oswald a patsy? Are aliens real? Is the water supply doing unspeakable things to our biology? We don't know, but we also talk 1999's Kirsten Dunst and Michelle Williams-starring Dick for a few minutes too, engaging in the type of conversation about a movie called Dick that you'd expect from two individuals at our maturity level.
It's the episode THEY don't want you to hear!

We see dead people, and now we're arguing about them! 1999's The Sixth Sense is one of Nic's all time favorite films. Jordan thinks it's a middling affair. In our longest episode ever, the twist is that your two 90's fanatics are coming for each other's heads. Like two angry ghosts, locked in a cupboard, we claw and scratch each other wildly, until we finally get tired and move on to the spirit realm. But before that, we actually agree for a few minutes on our punishment film, 1999's Stir of Echoes, which is no punishment to us!

It's one of those days when it's a minute away from snowing and there's this electricity in the air, you can almost hear Filmshake, right? We're just dancing with you, talking 1999's American Beauty, like a little kid, begging you to play with it. For two hours. This is the day you might realize that this entire movie might not be as good as you remember, and this incredibly benevolent force, i.e. Filmshake, wants you to know there is no reason to be afraid, ever. Video's a poor excuse, we know, which is why you should listen to us instead. We help you remember the 90s...you need to remember...the 90s. Sometimes there's so much 90s in the world, we feel like we can't take it, and our heart is just going to cave in.
Also, for a minute, we choke the bishop about our punishment movie, 1999's In Dreams. Quit chafing your carrot and listen.

There's other fish in the sea, but Barracudas ain't equal to us as we gush over Renny Harlin's direction and LL Cool J's action hero turn like blood spouting out of a gory stump. When your Titanic sinks we're the one you're gonna meet and we may rather actually watch Titanic than our punishment movie, 1999's Lake Placid, or at least one of us would.

Every saga has a beginning and that beginning is the topic of the newest 90s Movies Podcast. Nic is joined by friend and supporter of the show, Matinee Mode, as we talk 1999s Star Wars: Episode 1 - The Phantom Menace for nearly 2.5 glorious hours, with a Jordan Courtney appearance at the end to announce the next episode (where he will return like the Jedi). If you're tired of hiding your love or even simply your "like" for this film, this episode is your Huckleberry, or I guess your Han Solo, AND IT SHOOTS FIRST.
We also talk this episode's punishment film, 1999s Wing Commander, which we get through in 12 parsecs because all we want to talk about is The Phantom Menace!

In 1999, a 70-year-old Andrew Sarris spoke for the majority of critics about the Joel Schumacher-directed 8MM, when he said it "...is clearly an evil film." Well, Mr. Sarris might have been a purveyor of auteur theory, but he's also a purveyor of being wrong. 25-years-later, in a deep conversation that dissects this misunderstood Nic Cage gem like never before, Jordan and Nic reassess 8mm and find themselves at great odds with the 1999 critical establishment. But then they watch the punishment film, The Other Sister, and find that some of the time, maybe those critics were right.

We're also talking 1999's critically-paned cinematic revival of the 60s and 70s counterculture series, The Mod Squad, which one of our hosts inexplicably, unironically, and unconditionally loves.

In A Perfect World, this would have been Episode 58 instead of Baby Geniuses, but you've got us driving this time machine, so just be glad this Ford hadn't crashed just yet. Is Costner a god, great, or even a good actor? Is Clint Eastwood immortally badass or is he a not-so-secretly artsy fartsy snowflake? Or does he just want to make his day and get home for dinner? How much Dern can a Dern Dern Dern if a Dern Dern can Dern Dern? All these questions answered (?) and more! Join us as we deconstruct Eastwood's deconstruction of the mythic-outlaw-on-the-run trope and wind up somewhere between knowing "not a damn thing" and wondering can anything really be known and therefore is the supposition of knowing that we don't know "a damn thing" even something that can be relied upon in a world filled with such chaos and violence!!!

Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean you shouldn't listen to Filmshake because we're talking Tony Scott's prescient 1998 action-thriller, Enemy of the State. Will Smith, Gene Hackman, and a Pentagon-full of well-regarded and beloved actors star in this cinematic exploration of government overreach into private citizens' privacy, and also, Jason Lee makes a brilliant exclamation about untoward things being done to a duck. Rather fittingly, yet for no good reason, Jordan and Nic approach this film as off the leash as Jon Voight with a free government pass, like this movie is the lingerie store from this movie.

A virgin lit the candle, and now two men approaching middle age are talking this early 90s film made for pre-teen girls. Do we love these three VERY theatrical, Better Midler-led witches, or do we want to burn them alive in the school furnace? Wait, did you think we were talking Clerks this week?
TRICK OR TREAT, IT'S 1993's HOCUS POCUS!
Jordan is also punished with 1989's Little Monsters. Does he think this Fred Savage-starring children's comedy is the goblin's knees, or does he want Howie Mandel to choke on Doritos?

Two words: Nic Cage. Has there ever been two other words in the history of language that could contain the multitudes that these words represent? Maybe when the ancients were building the tower of Babel and the world's language was confused, there remained slivers of the pure language that contained the secrets to the universe. It's like Nic Cage knew this, changing his name from Nicolas Coppola to Nicolas Cage (after his favorite Marvel character Luke Cage). He knew he'd need to hold back that purity (put it in a Cage, if you will), because otherwise we would have built a tower to Heaven with the ridiculousness and awesomeness that is his filmography.
Maybe it can still get us there. Like to Baby-O in Con Air, Nic is here to show us that, yes, God does exist, and He loves Nic Cage.
That's good. Because we do too!
Here, the other lesser Nic and I each choose our top 5 Cage moments, ranging from the ridiculous and the over-the-top (two phrases you'll here a lot) to the...well mainly more of that. These knobs go to eleven, baby, like no other Filmshake has shaken!
