Bad movie podcast unintentionally. Avoid.

Just listened to my first episode of your podcast. You opened by stating (and arguing about, but landing on the wrong conclusion nonetheless) that Good Will Hunting was filmed after Talented Mr. Ripley. The director has openly stated Damon was cast as Ripley after he saw GWH…. Jeez guys.

Emily is a great addition to the pod! Keep her at all costs. Loving the 1992 episodes.

Please stop describing everything as "interesting". So overused and cringe.Read full review »

Happened to listen to an episode that had this woman on who just won’t stop shouting, put me off trying any more episodes it’s hard to listen to

I love that this podcast focuses on how both film and television have changed since the late 90s. The episodes are always fun and informative. I loved that Phil did a deep dive on Ally McBeal and highlighted the things it did well instead of only focusing on the things it did poorly. On the...Read full review »

If they really wanted to podcast like it’s 1999, they would’ve recorded using Radio Shack microphones on cassette, but that’s beside the point. This is a quality film analysis podcast that also takes into account the time and place these movies came out. So many great episodes, it’s hard to pick...Read full review »

Just started listening and of the episodes I’ve binged, I’ve really enjoyed them with the exception of the part of each and every episode that the hosts turn into an explanation of how the media in question predicted the Trump presidency. Even though I agree with the hosts’ politics, these...Read full review »

Love the like its 1999 podcasts, especially the ones with Danielle Savre and Barrett Doss together. Can you do a podcast with these lovely ladies and review the movie The Bodyguard.

I adore this podcast. From the movies to the special series on Felicity, Sex and the City, West Wing etc; I am hooked!! I love the banter between Kenny and Phil and Phil’s laugh is infectious. Keep them coming!

I stumbled upon this show about 6months ago. And I went through all the back catalogue. I love 1999. This show is made for me!
dmillerg via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/30/21
Phil and Kenny are great guides through the films and culture of 1999. They have a real energy and unique point of view that leads to fascinating tidbits and discussions you won’t find on many other podcasts.
GerderMan via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/02/21
Great concept and fun cohosts who bring the perspective of working film and television writers. If you are a fan of Blank Check you will like this show.
puercster via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/07/21
I started listening to this podcast yesterday because the hosts have gone on record as loving Nicolas Cage’s The Rock. I have since listened to five or six episodes and will continue to do so. The hosts are highly knowledgeable, the film conversation enjoyable, and the concept to cover all the...Read full review »

Refreshing to listen to a non-celebrity podcast....as if celebrities have more of a right to spread their opinion to hold a podcast than others. Host uses a number of “um’s” which is so annoying and please please get better audio when guests are being interviewed! The last one about Sex and the...Read full review »
unicorn514 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/29/20
I love movie rewatch podcasts and was pumped to find this one. I love how they recontextualize 1999 movies through today’s lens and acknowledge what won’t work anymore and why. People who call this virtue signaling: its film cultivation theory. Grow up. I’m a MASSIVE rewatcher and really like the...Read full review »
larbb via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/06/20
I still like this show but I find lately Kenny and the guest host gang up on Phil a little bit which can be hard to endure as I’m a Phil fan. The movie discussions are better than the TV show ones
zzdot via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 08/29/20
Good when they cover interesting or decent movies, not so good when they cover Felicity episodes, pop music, or blah movies that even the hosts don’t seem to care about. Also, way too slow to get to the point. The first half of the podcast is often one host talking to a guest about where they...Read full review »
Sun_Worshipper via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/26/20
Yet they do everything they can to completely copy it. The matrix episode is one of the most painful things I’ve ever listened to.
Aaron Ricks not aj via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/20/20
All the neckbeards complaining that two people would dare to examine the changing social mores that necessarily impact the film landscape, and engage in some nuanced critical reappraisal—for a podcast about films produced during the second Clinton administration, for crying out loud—need to...Read full review »

Listened to like 15-20. Lot of blatant factual errors (the insistence, from one host, that Fantasia was a hit in its original run is one that stuck), bad takes, and a general squishiness. It’s lame that The Ringer ripped them off though.
My Dooood via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/05/20
Cloying virtue signaling; inability to stay on topic; tries way too hard to be cool. Critically, the two hosts just aren’t that bright. They might have “ripped” them off but the Ringer crew did much better justice to the movies of 1999 than these two clowns.
Aapa1982 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/12/20
Love this pod! Hosts are super knowledgeable and get great guests. Loved the Ravenous ep. Q: When will you cover Pushing Tin? The 1999 movie that brought us Angelina and Billy Bob!? 🖤💉
CJ Sweet via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/20/20
My entry point for this series was the Toy Story 2 double header featuring Griffin Newman as the guest and I’m fully on board for this show’s premise and style of commentary. Anyone who’s complaining about “virtue signaling” should be written off, as this is the type of bad faith listener who...Read full review »

My favourite movie podcast, it's consistently super enjoyable to listen to and incredibly funny. Phil and Kenny are great, the guests are amazing and the topics are always interesting (sometimes bad movies make for the best episodes!).Read full review »

I like this show, but I’ve had my fill.
Monicaca4Amber via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/22/19
If you’re curious how your beloved movie or show fails to meet modern standards of political correctness, this is the show for you. If you find “problematic” criticism to be the lamest possible approach, skip it.
DB Cooper 73 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/12/19
This podcast is a great idea. 1999 was a great year for movies. But I just can’t get past the constant virtue signaling. Everything is viewed through the overly-PC 2019 lense. It’s as if the hosts want you to feel guilty for liking these movies.
MJB1981 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/16/19
Holy hell 1999 was quite the year for movies. I really appreciate Phil and Kenny for bringing that to my attention via this podcast. Half of the movies they've covered so far, I spent my late teens watching repeatedly on TV or DVD. It's also encouraged me to revisit a number of films that...Read full review »
Definitely Not Max via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/19/19
These guys are fine. Their bonafides speak for themselves. The films from this year certainly merit being discussed over a great expanse. Holy cow, though, does this show go all in on virtue signaling and trumpeting the PC ideology of the moment. Unlike the films from 1999, I'm afraid these...Read full review »

There's been some other podcasts recently that have sprung up and are trying to jump on the 1999 bandwagon, but don't be fooled; this is the real deal. These dudes know and, more importantly, love the movies of '99 in a way that a true 1999 fan can just sense. Never been a big...Read full review »

Great podcast
maddie_jay via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/06/19
I dig this podcast in theory. Problem is, I haven’t bothered to listen since before the Detroit Rock City episode because I don’t care about every terrible movie made in 1999. Stick to high and standout low points and move on to the year 2000.
warrior possum via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/14/19
Amazing stuff... especially if you also think that 1999 was the last great year for movies. Even if you don't though--funny, witty reviewers riffing off on anything related to the movies of 1999, and how our perception of them has changed over the last twenty years.Read full review »

I really like the Eyes Wide Shut episode because I’m Tom Cruise and I was in Eyes Wide Shut
Tom Cruise From Myspace via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/28/18
1999 was such a landmark year in film, it's awesome to hear the people who love movies break them down. Phil and Kenny are funny and insigtful and a joy to listen to. This and Blank Check are the movie podcasts to follow.Read full review »

Revieweree12345 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/15/18
This is the sort of podcast idea I wish I’d had first. 1999 is arguably the best year in cinematic history, and our hosts Phil and Kenny have set about on reviewing every major release, which I guess will take them several years to do with these weekly episodes. These two really know their stuff,...Read full review »

I have listened to almost every episode! Great podcast but dear god please stop saying “sure sure sure, yes yes yes, I agree I agree!”
wydellb via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/11/18
Interesting premise from a couple of guys who obviously care a lot about movies, but they haven’t seemed to figure out that having 3 or 4 dudes taking over each other into our ears does not make for quality listening. Also, might it make more sense to do at least a quick synopsis at the start...Read full review »

Finding a podcast about movies that don’t involve dudes with phony Moviefone acting voices is tough so I’m glad that Podcast Like It’s 1999 is a laid-back talk that feels very genuine and never trying to be overly showy. Even on movies from ‘99 that I don’t agree with them on, Kenny and Phil...Read full review »

cemcoy via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 02/22/18
I came across this podcast after it was mentioned in an article covering the amazing year in film that was 1999, and I’m so glad I did! I love their insights, the fact that they take the time to back up and explain little “inside baseball” remarks they make along the way, and just the general...Read full review »

Loving this podcast! Even for the films I haven’t seen since 1999. Great hosts with a good rapport even if I can’t tell their voices apart at times (hint: listen closely for Phillip Iscove’s subtle Canadian-isms). Love these deep dives and looking forward to more episodes.
