    Episode 76 - 8MM (1999) and The Other Sister (1999)

    Episode 76 - 8MM (1999) and The Other Sister (1999)

    In 1999, a 70-year-old Andrew Sarris spoke for the majority of critics about the Joel Schumacher-directed 8MM, when he said it  "...is clearly an evil film." Well, Mr. Sarris might have been a purveyor of auteur theory, but he's also a purveyor of being wrong. 25-years-later,  in a deep conversation that dissects this misunderstood Nic Cage gem like never before, Jordan and Nic reassess 8mm and find themselves at great odds with the 1999 critical establishment. But then they watch the punishment film, The Other Sister, and find that some of the time, maybe those critics were right.

    Episode 75 - Detroit Rock City (1999) and The Mod Squad (1999)

    Episode 75 - Detroit Rock City (1999) and The Mod Squad (1999)

    You gotta lose your mind in Detroit Rock City, and we're here to help! We feel uptight on a Saturday night, the radio's the only light, and we're talking the 1999 Adam Rifkin joint about four 1978 kids who just want to see Kiss play in Detroit. But that's not all! We're also talking 1999's critically-paned cinematic revival of the 60s and 70s counterculture series, The Mod Squad, which one of our hosts inexplicably, unironically, and unconditionally loves. The celebration of 1999 continues on Filmshake!

    Episode 74 - Payback (1999)

    Episode 74 - Payback (1999)

    Get ready for the big Payback, as we're talking the 1999 Mel Gibson revenge flick, and the 2006 Director's Cut, and 1967's Point Blank, AND the book they're all adapted from, Donald E. Westlake's The Hunter, though mostly 1999's Payback, we promise! Except when we also talk about our punishment movie, 2011's The Beaver, also starring Mel Gibson, payback for Jordan losing trivia last episode. Can Jordan finally get his $70K back in this episode's trivia battle finale, or does he get stuck with a Director's Cut ending of his own making?! All this and more, much much more, and for what, the principle of the thing?
    Stop it, we're getting misty!

    Episode 73 - A Perfect World (1993)

    Episode 73 - A Perfect World (1993)

    In A Perfect World, this would have been Episode 58 instead of Baby Geniuses, but you've got us driving this time machine, so just be glad this Ford hadn't crashed just yet. Is Costner a god, great, or even a good actor? Is Clint Eastwood immortally badass or is he a not-so-secretly artsy fartsy snowflake? Or does he just want to make his day and get home for dinner? How much Dern can a Dern Dern Dern if a Dern Dern can Dern Dern? All these questions answered (?) and more! Join us as we deconstruct Eastwood's deconstruction of the mythic-outlaw-on-the-run trope and wind up somewhere between knowing "not a damn thing" and wondering can anything really be known and therefore is the supposition of knowing that we don't know "a damn thing" even something that can be relied upon in a world filled with such chaos and violence!!! AHH...Such fun times!

    Music Heard This Episode:
    "Big Fran's Baby" -- Lennie Niehaus and Clint Eastwood
    "Ida Red" -- Bob Willis and His Texas Playboys
    "Philip's Theme" -- Lennie Niehaus
    "Guess Things Happen That Way" -- Johnny Cash

    Episode 72 -- Go (1999)

    Episode 72 -- Go (1999)

    You know what wakes me up in the middle of the night covered in a cold sweat? Knowing that you aren't any worse than anyone else in your whole screwed up generation. In the old days, you know how you got to the top? Huh? By listening to Filmshake! This episode, we're talking 1999's Golp Fiction...I mean Go,  directed by Doug Liman, written by the guy who wrote Charlie's Angels and Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle.  And now the top is down here, it used to be up here... and you don't even know the  difference.

Entropy in action

You guys are all over the place. Listened to your review of Pump up the Volume and you didn’t actually start talking about the movie for 15 minutes!

One of a kind!

It’s a rare thing for movie podcasts to focus on a specific decade of movies! Love that about this show. An easy follow/subscribe.
