473: ”Hey Nonny Nonny” | Much Ado About Nothing (1993)
In the merry land of Messina, mirth and mischief dance a lively jig. Kenneth Branagh, as our gallant Benedick, doth spar with Emma Thompson's sharp-tongued Beatrice, their jests as quick as summer lightning, whilst Robert Sean Leonard's Claudio, deceived by foul machinations, doth spurn his fair Hero, played by tender Kate Beckinsale. Amidst the confusion, Denzel Washington, as noble Don Pedro, guideth the play to a joyful denouement, and Keanu Reeves, as the black-hearted Don John, meets his just desserts.

470: ”Meecrofilm” | Loaded Weapon 1 (1993)
Loaded Weapon 1 is a hilarious parody of action films, featuring the absurdly inept cop duo, Sergeant Jack Colt (Emilio Estevez) and Sergeant Wes Luger (Samuel L. Jackson), who are investigating a crime linked to Wilderness Girl cookies. They cross paths with eccentric villains played by Tim Curry and William Shatner, while Kathy Ireland and Jon Lovitz add to the comedic chaos.
