    Topsy Turvy and Cradle Will Rock

    What in the world would a teenager in Kentucky find to like in Mike Leigh's TOPSY TURVY. Nothing. But wait until that young man becomes middle aged and living in the middle of a pandemic when he's desperate not only any exuberance but to also make his $20 Criterion sale purchase in some way not a total loss. What do you get then? A rave review! And for Tim Robbins doing his version of CRADLE WILL ROCK? Disgust! A well-rounded episode of 99 FROM 99.

    The Green Mile

    As we near the end of this 99 FROM 99 project we think it's safe to say that we know EXACTLY what it's like to walk THE GREEN MILE. And we do that as we take on THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION Jr. with Frank Darabont once again adapting a Stephen King work for the movies. This time he ditches Tim Robbins for Michael Clarke Duncan as the wrongfully convicted man and makes a substantial upgrade in the prison warden department with America's favorite everyman Tom Hanks. This film is nice. And this podcast is nice. Enjoy!

    The End of the Affair and The Cider House Rules

    It's sexy times on 99 FROM 99... which is quickly ruined when we realize that Tobey Maguire is part of said times. We try not to dismiss THE CIDER HOUSE RULES too much, even if this Oscar contender from 1999 is paired with a mostly forgotten but better film starring Julianne Moore and Ralph Fiennes. That's right, kids. It's the one you've been waiting for. It's THE END OF THE AFFAIR.

    Sweet and Lowdown

    Woody Allen and Sean Penn seem like a very unlikeable combination so imagine our surprise when this "slight" romantic comedy from the prolific director is mostly charming... and that's thanks mostly to the Academy Award nominated performance here by Samantha Morton. Does that save us from Film Twitter attacks for covering this? Probably not but then again we are a slight movie podcast that the world mostly ignores. A perfect combination for an episode on SWEET AND LOWDOWN!

    A Map of the World and Holy Smoke!

    The failed Oscar bait in the fall movie season are plentiful but they do not always star the likes of Sigourney Weaver and Julianne Moore like in A MAP OF THE WORLD. They do however usually star Kate Winslet and while this is thankfully not THE READER... it is instead HOLY SMOKE! where Harvey Keitel comes under the sway of this Academy Award chasing actress. Even as she urinates in his general direction. It's 99 FROM 99's finest moment as we discuss Jane Campion and Oprah!

    Flawless

    Like the diner scene from HEAT we get Robert De Niro facing off against Philip Seymour Hoffman's female impersonator in a film from a man often (actually only in these show notes) compared to Michael Mann in director Joel Schumacher's FLAWLESS. It's not bad. Not great. But not bad. Like this podcast.

    Toy Story 2

    We posit that TOY STORY 2 was the beginning of the end for Pixar. It's all doom and gloom for what has been decades of box-office success and critical praise for this company and we knew it over twenty years later! Mainly one host talks about his dislike of fish and children. It is a definitive podcast for 99 FROM 99.
