We decided to take one last dust off the indie film batch for the end/beginning of the month. Here's yet another film that I've never heard anyone mention, Get Real (1998). This was both me and Mikey's second time viewing it since the 90s and what a delight it was to watch. We get into Mikey's history with the film and seeing it in the cinema, do a recast with our own current casting, and talk about the many quotes we loved that flew under the radar. *there are a lot of random off-topic rants

It was beyond time to revisit this film that was part of my formative years. We first covered this film early in the podcast days and during the pandemic. There wasn't a clear format back then so any opportunity I have to talk about how much this film means to me is warranted. On this episode we use our regular format with reviews and me and Jai get a new look through Jules' eyes who was seeing it for the first time. We get into the chokehold Leo had on us in the 90s, the INCREDIBLE casting and

Since more people listened to our last fashion chat episode than expected we just had to do another one. Of course as soon as we finished recording the last one, all this news broke of creative directors leaving their posts. Me and Jai touch on all the shifting going around in the industry, the new Rick and Prada mens shows, new magazine pickups, and Pharrell Williams new collection and spectacle at Louis Vuitton, and much more! 🖤🪡 Enjoy! --- Get BONUS episodes on 90s TV and culture (Freaks &

Well, it's time to dust off the old movie vault for this one. I put up a poll on IG to see if anyone has heard or even seen this film and it was a mystery to most. Now, this film I first saw ages ago at Mikey's house and seeing it again all these years later just brought me such delight. This quirky indie rom com stars Sean Hayes before he was known as Jack from Will and Grace. He's a Polaroid (ahh!) photographer who falls in love with a cute coffee barista boy (how 90s) who is a perfect facsimile

152: Let's do it! To it! | Leaving Las Vegas (1995)

2023/06/13

This was a somber episode. Leaving Las Vegas has been on my list to watch for so long and I just had to be in a certain mood. Turns out this was that time. I had long heard of this performance that won Nicolas Cage his Lead Actor Oscar in 1995 but I never expected to be hit this emotionally hard by a film. Me and Charles talk the cinematography and the different side of Vegas, how Nic Cage prepared for a role like this, Elisabeth Shue's fashion, and some interesting behind the scenes bits. Off-Topic

It's Pride month and what better to kick it off than talking one of me and Mikey's favorite shows from our high school days, Queer as Folk! While this is the US version that premiered on Showtime, we had never seen anything like this and that's possibly why it has stayed with us over 20 years later. This is based on the UK series which was much shorter, however this version has some incredible characters that you just can't help but fall in love with. For a trip down memory lane we are discussing

You can actually feel the heat in this film. It instantly transports you into this neighborhood all taking place during the Son of Sam murders in 1970s New York City. Immediately there were similarities to the DC sniper case that we both lived through that we touched on. Spike Lee's film perfectly captured the paranoia and utter fear that gripped the whole city, but within this specific community. It was basically my first watch and for the 150th episode and the start of the summer season, it just

I love doing these random off the cuff chats. Since me and Jai talk about this stuff anyway why not put it in an episode. Of course I didn't plan for it to be a whole 2 hours but here we are. We get into so many things like the recent headlines in fashion, content creators and their evolution, the Chloe Sevigny & Dover Street sales, Tiktok bans, weird micro trends, get into Vice filing for bankruptcy, reviewing some 'awful and weird' Cruise collections from Gucci and Chanel, and the end of MTV

That decade birthed Jordan Belfort and 20 years later they made a movie depicting his life. I have to say this film was requested and I'm glad it was because it's one I always enjoy. Partly because of my teenage crush on Leo, but also this was the first film that he showed yet another range of acting besides deeply dramatic. This one

2023/05/16

in the 90s you could always count on a dark comedy. It's the best decade for these out of control stories with the most offensive humor. While society has changed light years it seems in about 20 years, there are still these 'time capsule' films that are so wild you can't even believe they were made. I questioned this very point when I watched Drop Dead Gorgeous about the literal explosive dark world of a local beauty pageant in Minnesota.This was my first time watching and Charles hit this one

Oi! Oi! Who's ready for a diamond heist accompanied by some of the best characters ever? Yes, we're talking the 2000 film by Guy Ritchie, Snatch. While now Ritchie is a household name, in the late 90s he was just getting started and we become so wrapped up in this London caper. This is one of my all time favorite films that I can recite it word for word. Me and Jai get into many behind the scenes facts, why Brad Pitt was desperate to be in this film, and wonder why we didn't get more Benicio

I enlisted Jules, my 90s comedy buddy to review this one. And HOLY SCHNIKES! The both of us had a literal Baja blast talking this iconic comedy buddy road trip film starring legends Chris Farley and David Spade. We could basically quote the entire thing and we spend the first half of the episode talking about the state of comedy past and present,

In keeping with the worlds 'Brendan Fraser Renaissance' it was time to discuss the film that started his career, School Ties. While this film is hard to watch for many reasons, it's still required viewing. The story is set in the 1950s and revolves around the anti-Semitism at a boys prep school. While the performances of emerging actors that we know so well today are front and center, it's Brendan Fraser that really gives such a powerful performance. This was Jai's first time watching and for me

We're finally getting back into the swing of things (haha) here on the pod and talking one of the most quotable films of the 90s, Swingers! After three years it seems baffling to me that I haven't talked about this film yet. I know you know someone who had this movie poster on their wall, and yet it's one I don't hear talked about too much. Written by Jon Favreau and starring most of his emerging actor friends, this film is part time capsule and part subculture view. We follow a super baby faced
