Is any time a good to release an episode on FIGHT CLUB? Or is every time appropriate for a look at depression, distrust and upheaval when it's dressed up as Brad Pitt, half-naked philosopher? We think so. Also no other movie podcast has ever discussed this David Fincher film. Not that we are aware of. Don't @ us. Just listen.

Harrison Ford with an earring but still grouchy. Bruce Willis with a ponytail but still bald. Both these guys got marital problems. One wife dies in the first act, but not before having an affair; the other had to put up with that stupid ponytail from her stupid husband. This is the greatest podcast episode ever produced.

You either die a progressive liberal breaking down barriers in film or you live long enough to be chased off college campuses as a horribly out of touch messenger of hate and ignorance. Along the way an Oscar was won for Hilary Swank but all Kimberly Peirce gets is our appreciation on this pretty depressing episode for BOYS DON'T CRY.

If you've always had the sneaking suspicion that the people watching movies at Sundance every year are assholes... well that's probably because some things never change. And HAPPY, TEXAS may be the most infamous example of a festival hit being an unmitigated disaster that nearly killed the career of Steve Zahn. Wait. According to Wikipedia this was his "breakout role." And was also a "box-office hit." A "cult classic?" If only our legion of fans would take up this cause to combat the fake...

This podcast has done its half-assed best to give context to the idyllic theatrical experience of 1999 but we can't gloss over the fact that there were some troubled productions from that year. THREE KINGS may be known as the greatest performance Spike Jonze ever gave (don't @ us, JACKASS fans) but one can only imagine (if you are a decent human being) that director David O. Russell's lone memory of his breakout hit is the beating he received from Kentucky boy George Clooney. That is if he...

The troubled times we find ourselves in now can be traced back to America's rejection of Hollywood's attempt to make Loren Dean a star in Lawrence Kasdan's MUMFORD. Thankfully at least one of your hosts adored this adorable movie about nice people and all the nice lies they tell each other. Speaking of which listen to your least favorite host of 99 FROM 99 as he bullies the poor people of Mumford.

Ashley Judd can't be tried twice for killing her husband in 1999's fall hit DOUBLE JEOPARDY but your favorite podcast trapped in the past will put this Bruce Beresford thriller back on trial and end up sounding just as tired as Tommy Lee Jones does by the end of it.

Have you been waiting for a podcast on Bruce Willis in a failed Kurt Vonnegut adaptation? You have our apologies as this is probably your only option as we see just how far the combined ranting powers of Albert Finney and Nick Nolte can carry this box office and critical disaster from 1999.

And so we have arrived at the Best Picture of 1999. Thus ends the podcast. Of course not! As one host raves about the merits of AMERICAN BEAUTY, the other is just wondering how misguided does a man have to be to no longer find Annette Bening amusing? Also notice how we are leading with one star in these show notes and not the other? Wellllll we get into that a bit at the top of the show. Then we have our "fun" again by debating if this is indeed the best that 1999 in film had to offer or...

Twenty years later we are still shocked at the opening weekend dominance of Patricia Arquette and Gabriel Byrne in STIGMATA, while Kevin Bacon bombed in STIR OF ECHOES as a Johnny-come-lately THE SIXTH SENSE on September 10, 1999. Since coming in with the very late takes is our podcast bread and butter we try to comfort Mr. Bacon in what has been a decades long matter of great shame to the man.

It's back to school for many a child listener of 99 FROM 99 and what better way to start the season than being anti-social and listening to their favorite hosts on their favorite podcast on everyone's favorite films of 1999: TEACHING MRS. TINGLE and MUSIC OF THE HEART. Apparently one of our hosts reads these show notes (and it's not the one who writes them; he's an alcoholic) and perhaps with the cynicism of these worthless words is the reason for the biggest twist of this failed...

Who knew that twenty years later the comedic stylings of Steve Martin and Albert Brooks would be so divisive to our much beloved hosts of your favorite podcast? One of them finds the con man ways of BOWFINGER not only failing to amuse but likely criminal whereas your other host is in complete agreement with Hollywood that THE MUSE is the death rattle of a once great comedic director.

It's sexy times on this episode of 99 FROM 99 as we discuss the film that gave disappointed EYES WIDE SHUT audiences what they really wanted. Unfortunately all of that steamy action between Pierce Brosnan and Rene Russo is nearly ruined by a terrible haircut on top of a terrible Denis Leary. All of this and a late to the game #FreeJohnMcTiernan crusade is started... but we can't be bothered to take that cause to our social media links which you can find here: early episodes...

Unfortunately for most people (including one of your beloved hosts) the greatest Superman movie ever made was missed upon initial release in 1999... so leave it to 99 FROM 99 to make THE IRON GIANT a sensation twenty years later.

In August of 1999... everyone saw dead people. A cruel person, like maybe one (or both!) of your hosts, may make a joke here about Bruce Willis' performance in THE SIXTH SENSE but instead we rave about it like a couple of dorks. Look, even the Oscars got something right (historically this is only one of three times that's been true) by nominating Toni Collette in one of M. Night Shyamalan's finest pieces of writing and directing. So we've got nothing new for you here but we do have...

Almost a decade after Julia Roberts became one of the all-time movie stars in her work with director Garry Marshall and co-star Richard Gere in PRETTY WOMAN the band got back together in the summer of 1999 to give us the SECOND BEST Julia Roberts romcom of that year! RUNAWAY BRIDE may not be as well loved as NOTTING HILL or the iconic hooker with a heart of gold flick but it was a big financial success and maybe, just maybe, we should give these very pretty people a break for once. Do the...

Two decades later and we are still worried about spoiling the charms of Renny Harlin's DEEP BLUE SEA. This leads to a conversation about spoiler culture and the lack of risk-taking as seen by some of today's bigger stars (unfortunately not Thomas Jane as much as we like the guy). Other than that we try to avoid being absolute buzzkills on one of life's simple pleasures: LL Cool J as a chef fighting sharks in his kitchen.

On July 23, 1999 the world FINALLY got their Spinal Tap version of local beauty pageants... and the world mostly took a pass until THE OFFICE made that fashionable. Like most of the Johnny-come-lately's we give our delayed thoughts on DROP DEAD GORGEOUS. And while it may be strange for two grown men to give their very late two cents on this Kirsten Dunst teen comedy... well one of your hosts was as amped up for her other '99 offering in DICK. As in Richard Nixon. Yes, the lesser half of 99...

On July 23, 1999 the star-filled remake of THE HAUNTING would open #1 at the box office but it would be the horror film that opened a week later whose legacy lives on. We debate the merits of the amateur camera crew but professional actors wandering the woods in THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT compared to the likes of Lili Taylor, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Liam Neeson and if either of these films have survived the initial backlash... one to quickly dated CGI effects, the other to snot rocket...

The unofficial subtitle of this podcast is The Year of Taye Diggs and that continues with his second appearance of 1999 in THE WOOD. We discuss this more mature version of AMERICAN PIE and wonder if a trip to the movies brings an expectation for a character such as Stifler while also feeling much like the characters of this Rick Famuyiwa film... wistful for a time when we didn't know that we wanted Stifler or his mom.

Killer crocodiles on screen is very specific film passion but one that ever so often rears its ugly green head and attacks unsuspecting moviegoers. One of your hosts is a freak and enjoys that particular kink and the other is named Mike. This episode sees both hosts (freak and non-freak alike) theorizing on how the writer of ALLY MCBEAL brought us Betty White in a monster movie in 1999 and if we didn't know how good we had it with this goofy summer movie. Our beloved listeners know how they...

We hope you have not just the password for the house to hear our biggest episode yet. All for a few no names like Cruise... Kidman... and Kubrick. The most anticipated film for cinephiles back in 1999 and EYES WIDE SHUT remains the most debated film of that year two decades later. Our discussion tries to cover just a few of the theories kicked around over the years about this work... even getting to the point where maybe some of those theories do a great disservice to the film. Hopefully you...

In the summer of 1999 dumb Americans were finally treated to some comedy by way of France in THE DINNER GAME. And while it would take us a while to get our grubby remaking hands on it with 2010's DINNER FOR SCHMUCKS, it took even longer for your two beloved hosts to see the original. Classic French gags from the late 90s still hold up in 2019? Awkward phone calls? Awkward lies? Awkward golf swings? For one host this is no Adam Sandler and for the other host... well it's no Adam Sandler. You...
