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
