Episode 95 - Darkman (1990)

Send us a text TAKE THE ELEPHANT! But if not, listen to Filmshake because we're talking 1990's Darkman , a movie where Liam Neeson's face gets melted off. Did it melt our faces off? Well, we laughed at the elephant part. Also, we talk our punishment film, 1990's Circuitry Man , about someone named Plughead, but who everyone calls Circuitry Man. Also, Nic talks about how he's learning to live...with a lot of things... We're everyone - and no one. Everywhere... nowhere. Call us... Filmshake! Music...

Episode 94 - Rocky V (1990) and Lionheart (1990)

Send us a text Go for it! This is about as home team as Filmshake gets, as we're talking 1990's Rocky V and Lionheart . Stallone and Van Damme in the same episode? How is this even possible? We didn't hear no bell and we're not the wrong bet, that's how! It's all the street fighting, crotch punching you could ever want in one episode! It's Filmshake!

Episode 93 - Gremlins 2 (1990)

Send us a text The fine points: diplomacy, compassion, standards, manners, tradition... that's what we're reaching toward. Oh, Filmshake may stumble along the way, but at least we're finally covering 1990's Gremlins 2 ! It's a full scale panic. Are you having a run on the banks there yet? Well, it's rather brutal here. We're advising our clients to put everything they've got into canned food and shotguns! And listen to Filmshake! We also talk our punishment film, 1990's A Gnome Named Gnorm , whi...

Episode 92 - Predator 2 (1990) and I Come In Peace (Dark Angel 1990)

Send us a text 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. Congratulati...

Episode 91 - Wild at Heart (1990)

Send us a text 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...

Episode 90 - Ghost (1990)

Send us a text 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!

Episode 89 - Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990) and Spaced Invaders (1990)

Send us a text 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 m...

Episode 88 - The Green Mile (1999)

Send us a text 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...

Episode 87 - The Mummy (1999)

Send us a text 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 Mum...

Episode 86 - The World Is Not Enough (1999)

Send us a text 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 perf...

Episode 85 - Idle Hands (1999)

Send us a text 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...

Episode 84 - Arlington Road (1999)

Send us a text 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...

Episode 83 - The Blair Witch Project (1999)

Send us a text On August 20, 2024, Podcasters, Jordan Courtney and Nicholas Loup, recorded an episode on 1999s the Blair Witch Project. They also talked about 1999s Bats for a few minutes too for some reason. They were never heard from again. This is that recording.

Episode 82 - The Sixth Sense (1999)

Send us a text 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, 199...

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.

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.

Episode 76 - 8MM (1999) and The Other Sister (1999)

Send us a text 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 watc...

Send us a text You gotta lose your mind in Detroit Rock City , and we're here to help! We feel uptight on a Saturday night, the radio's the only light, and we're talking the 1999 Adam Rifkin joint about four 1978 kids who just want to see Kiss play in Detroit. But that's not all! 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. The celebration of 199...

Westlake's The Hunter, though mostly 1999's Payback , we promise!

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?

Send us a text 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 N...

Fat jokes, pee jokes, prison rape jokes, and dead hooker jokes. What is this, the 90s? We even manage to throw some love (one of us more than the other) at 2000's very dumb Norm-starring comedy Screwed.
