At the Movies in the 90s

The 90s. The end of the Cold War. The Spice Girls. New Labour. Euro 96. The PlayStation. The World Wide Web. We all have our memories. Many of them will be of movies in an era where the blockbuster truly came home, where arthouse prospered, where the Brit film soared & where, in some ways, popular culture truly began. I’m A. J. Black. Author, writer & podcaster, and the 90s was my decade. It was probably yours too. So join me, and my co-host Mark McManus, as I head down memory lane AT THE MOVIES IN

BONUS: Carry on Columbus (1992)

At the Movies in the 90s ·

2024/11/29

"I've seen his testimonials!"A phenomenon of British comedy cinema across the late 1950s into the early 1970s, the Carry On film series is a product of its time. So when a revival came at the start of the 1990s, a very different era, it met with, to put it mildly, scorn. But is this attempt to keep calm and Carry On again as bad as everyone believes some thirty plus years on? In this shorter bonus episode of AT THE MOVIES IN THE 90s recorded in late 2023, your host A. J. Black is joined by You Have

BONUS: U.S. Marshals (1998)

At the Movies in the 90s ·

2024/11/15

"We got a fugitive!" The Fugitive immediately struck a nerve as one of the greatest blockbuster remakes of the 90s, but its nascent sequel, built around Tommy Lee Jones' Oscar-nominated turn as Sam Gerard, failed to do the same. Why? And does anyone truly remember it? In this shorter bonus episode of AT THE MOVIES IN THE 90s recorded in late 2023, your host A. J. Black is joined by Vampire Videos host Hugh McStay and Illumination Above All host Ian Buckley to discuss Stuart Baird's 1998 action

BONUS: Village of the Damned (1995)

"They have the look of man... but not the nature of mankind..."John Carpenter followed up his memorable Lovecraftian meta horror In the Mouth of Madness with a fresh stab at adapting John Wyndham's classic tale, The Midwich Cuckoos, but does his remake compare to the book or original 1960s movie?

BONUS: Frankenstein Unbound (1990)

At the Movies in the 90s ·

2024/10/25

"You think that you have killed me. But I will be with you forever. I am unbound..." One of Roger Corman's lesser known pictures is his early 90s stab at the classic Frankenstein story by Mary Shelley, through the lens of a later novel, that blends together traditional Gothic stylistics with a strong science-fiction beast. What we end up with is a most unusual beast. In this shorter bonus episode of AT THE MOVIES IN THE 90s recorded in late 2023, your host A. J. Black is joined by Japan on Film host

DOUBLE FEATURE: The People Under the Stairs (1991) &...

At the Movies in the 90s ·

2024/10/18

"We open on an old wooden bench. There's fire and tools in the background, and what looks like a pair of hands building what is revealed to be a set of shiny claws. The claws are moving now, as if awakening from a long, and unwanted sleep. Slowly, the man places a trembling hand onto the bench. Behind the lights; people watch in silence, ready to laugh, or scream out in terror..."

"Remember what the MPAA says; Horrific, Deplorable violence is okay, as long as people don't say any naughty woids! That's what this war is all about!"South Park Bigger, Longer & Uncut surely stands as the most profane animated musical ever made, but does it remains as funny as it was in 1999?

The Crow (1994)

2024/08/23

"People once believed that when someone dies, a crow carries their soul to the land of the dead. But sometimes, something so bad happens that a terrible sadness is carried with it and the soul can't rest."The Crow is now three decades old, a production more of legend than fact, known for the tragic death of star Brandon Lee while making the film. It has become a mythologised picture, but what are the facts behind the fiction? Was it really a cursed movie? In this episode of AT THE MOVIES IN THE

Alien3 (1992)

2024/08/09

"You've been in my life for so long, I can't actually remember anything else."Alien3 was, to put it mildly, a troubled production, with a fascinating, long-term development history with many false starts, left turns and talented filmmakers involved. How did it come to exist in the form it ended up? In this episode of AT THE MOVIES IN THE 90s, a podcast about the cinema of the 90s, your host A. J.

"I'm afraid to close my eyes... and I'm afraid to open them..."The Blair Witch Project arrived in the summer of 1999 as a micro-budget horror phenomenon, becoming one of the highest grossing films of the year and an instant piece of pop culture history - but how?

2024/06/01

Britain. Fish and chips. Cups of tea. The smell of the theatrical greasepaint, the roar of the football crowd. A diverse nation grappling with its own long, complex history, always with one tongue firmly in cheek.Over the last century, British film has ebbed and flowed, from Ealing comedy to Carry on sauciness, from the British New Wave to Cool Britannia, from Hammer horror to… Hammer horror again.
