Patrick Keene returns to the studio to celebrate the year in cinema that was 1999. Is it really worth the seemingly universal praise it's received? Can a year in which the top grossing movie was Star Wars: Episode 1: The Phantom Menace really be considered a classic? Do indie darlings like Election and Magnolia hold up? Should we actually be calling this the year of Peak Kirsten Dunst instead? The answers to all these questions and more lie inside this terrific hour of radio!
