Behind The Timeline

Andrew really should just become a regular host at this point, dude. Returning, yet again, for one of his all-time favorite movies, Andrew joins Lindsay and Scott to discuss what might actually be the quintessential high school film of the 90's - even more so than Clueless. We said what we said. Also, this has Allison Janney and just... you can't go wrong. I mean... come on. Make sure to subscribe...

Bullet-time! Long, slow-mo shots in mid-air! Reverse kanji and a sushi menu! We've got you covered with all the green-tinted, leather-weather, trench-coat-rocking scifi-action as Scott, Matt and Andrew tackle The Wachowski's "The Matrix", starring Keanu Reeves and Laurence FIshburne. From the incredible visuals to the wooden acting to the still-not-entirely-resolved plot hole(s), they're here to t...

We've made it to the final film in 1998, at long last. And boy what a... just a cinematic... ... movie to go out on. Or something. Y'know, we gotta be honest here: Comin' into the turn of the century has really made us re-examine some of these classic childhood films and, frankly, we've found them severely lacking when compared to how we remembered them. Like, do you guys remember that time we rev...

Sweet Mary, Mother of Chimichanga and all that is 4th Wall Breaking humor, we're back! And what a movie to return on, too. From the innumerable cameos (including one on this very episode from our beloved friend Matt-pool - thanks to technical difficulties...) to the lengthy discussion of what implications this has on the overall MCU and the future of several of the characters, we bring you our "ce...

The first request of 2024 AND of Season 4 brings us the most riotous film we've had to date - for one reason only: Dougray Scott's "Prince Henry". Dude's got some real big feelings, okay? Like... enough that we basically forgot Drew Berrymore's "Danielle" or Anjelica Huston's "Rodmilla de Ghent" were even in this! Strap in for hilarity, drama and a little dash of even more stupid humor for Scott t...

So, we did mention them early on in the episode but it's important for us to note here that the Olsen Twins DID actually have their own version of this film in 1995, starring Kirsty Alley and Steve Guttenberg, called "It Takes Two". That's a little fun fact there for ya! Anyways, we're not here for that - we're here for 1998's debut of Lindsay Lohan (and subsequently Nancy Myers as a Director), "T...

LETS. GET DOWN. TO BUSINESSSSS!!!! To enjoy... the poooood! Man is that song just a "Turn it up to 11", though. Lindsay and Scott take on the final success of Disney's Renaissance Era before things begin to turn murky, at best, with Mulan, starring Ming-Na Wen, Eddie Murphy and BD Wong, with accompanying music by the talents of Donnie Osmond, Christina Aguilera, Stevie Wonder and 9- wait, that can...

So, Scott was sick last week, otherwise this would've been out all the sooner. We're sorry about that, gang! But, here's another war movie for ya, for being so patient! And man what a war movie it is, isn't it? Some might even say it's the penultimate example of what all war films should aspire to be, with many failing in its wake. But just what makes this so good? Was it the acting? The drama? Th...

Welcome, one and all, to Episode One of Season 4!! We've taken a month off to clear our heads, get our houses in order and... completely let them fall apart all over again. What can we say? We're nothing if not consistently inconsistent! But, finally we're here with our final film of 1997 - Don Bluth's "Anastasia", starring Meg Ryan and John Cusack, to name a few. How historically accurate is this...

It's the most... wonderful tiiiiime... of the Pooooood! That's right everybody: Not only are we closing out Season 3 but also the year with our annual Christmas spectacular. This year, Tim Allen joins the ranks of Holiday dads beyond incapable of cooking a turkey - man put zero prep time in, come on, son! - as Scott Calvin, destined to knock the then-Santa Claus off his roof and thereby seal his f...

Is there finally a song that's makin' Scott get emotional? OH! There so is! Was this arguably one of the best Disney villains of probably totally absolutely fersure all time!? We won't say yes but... I mean come on. The pegasus blew his effing hair out! That's genius!! Welcome to Disney's Hercules from 1997, the world's first Disney film NOT based on a fairy tail, but instead dipping a tentative t...

We'd like to sum this film up with a single phrase, if we could be so bold: Yada-yada. Did we have fun? Oh for sure! Was it hilarious? Most outrageously so! Did it have a proper villain and a plotline devoid of holes bigger than a jump-point entryway? ...-ahem- anyway... Come to your own conclusions, think for yourselves, draw with your own fingerpaints... but be sure to check out our review, none...

We're back from a brief stint in... not... releasing an episode! We had some scheduling to work out, some drinks to be had, some ass to kick! But we're finally back to you and finally back to the timeline. And what an enjo-... no. No, that's not the word. What an excitin- nope. That's not it either. What a Batman movie to return to! There we go! This was certainly one of the Batman movies ever, th...

While this might mainly cover Episode 8 and all its finale-ness, we do connect some dots along the, rehash old theories of Scott's that either came true or were so insultingly wrong he really should just read the books at this point. Come on, son! Erin returns for her final stint in the WoT-era of the show, finally getting to bounce ideas and thoughts off Scott, who has otherwise been kept sequest...

And at last, we arrive at the conclusion... of Season 2! Was this what we expected? Did it match the flow of the books and set things yet to come up correctly? Listen in on last time with Lindsay and Erin from "Isn't It Neat!" as they break down all those twisty, turny, dark and daring spoilers from the books! What a conclusion it was, indeed! Make sure to subscribe to Behind the Timeline for all...

Let the Lord of Chaos rule! We're covering two episodes of book spoilers this week and there are lots of twists and turns to cover. There were some tough bits to get through and some really exciting ones. We were wrong about lots of stuff and did our best to make correct predictions for the finale. Join us for the wildly mixed bag that was episodes 6 & 7 and we'll be back for the full-spoiler...

It's nearly time. We've nearly hit the end of the road for this incredible season and honestly, we're sad. Two years we waited for this to come back and in almost a flash, it's practically gone. Actually by the time this releases the final episode will be upon us. Damn, what an insane trip its been! Egwene's still showing defiance, Mat and his magic mushroom madness, Perrin crosses the multverse t...

Holy crap are we late with this one and we are so eternally sorry for that! Nothing fancy in the description this time around, let's just get right into the episode! Sorry about that, gang - we love you!! Make sure to subscribe to Behind the Timeline for all of our newest updates and episodes! And if there's a movie or show you want us to cover, check out our website for the means to let us know w...

Sorry it's been so long, everyone! Schedules, conflicts, Trollocs. It's a whole thing. We'll get into it. Anyway, we know why you're here and we're here to deliver on... why you're... here. Yea. Okay. Should someone else be writing these? Whatever, Erin is back from the "Isn't It Neat" pod, joining Lindsay for all those dark, icky, messy, lovely spoilers you all adore and crave! So sit back, relax...

Time to toss the dice and join us for this week's Dark Friend Social for all the evil book spoilers! Lindsay is joined again by Erin from the "Isn't It Neat" podcast and we're spinning our weave of theories all the way from Bella's whereabouts to The Aiel Wastes and beyond. We may not have all the answers but we're having fun guessing. Send us your thoughts and theories and help us piece it togeth...

Oh my holy crap - Scott totally called it. It's kind of amazing, honestly, because it seems like each one of his guesses is so wildly out of touch and maybe it's because he hasn't read the books despite Lindsay continually telling him to and you gotta wonder at this point is - ... y'know what we're getting off topic, here! RAND! FORSAKEN! Matt's there too, I think. Pretty sure we saw him. Anyway,...

You want spoilers? Well we've got spoilers! Here. you're welcome in for all the evil, dark, dirty secrets only the books hold, as broken down by Lindsay and special guest Erin, returning for more fun from the "Isn't It Neat" podcast! You've been warned here - within these special breakdowns rests the truth of what's to come, who is who and where the path leads for our favorite heroes and villains...

OH MY GOD WE'RE FINALLY BACK!!! Delayed enough to allow for the next episode to arrive and everyone to theorize, as well as see just how much Scott - because obviously Lindsay's a master of this already - is and isn't correct on early questions and guesses and assumptions, the review for the first 3 episodes of Amazon Prime's wildly successful "The Wheel of Time" has arrived! Moiraine, Lan, Nynaev...

We made friends! We knew we could do it. That'll show you, Mr. Sampson... out here tellin' my mom he's concerned I'm anti-social and I like Power Rangers too mu-... y'know what, that's not why we're here. Anyway, we've partnered with another wonderful podcast, Isn't It Neat!, to bring you a timeline rewind in the form of 1992's "Strictly Ballroom", Baz Luhrmann's directorial debut! So, sit back, r...

Is this the longest title we've ever had? For an episode? Yes, probably. Was this movie, as Lindsay loves to say, "unhinged"? You better believe it was. Had she ever seen it? Nope! That's what made it all the more enjoyable, honestly. With a title that completely makes you think something different than what actually happens, a lead in the absolutely, outrageously gorgeous Christina Applegate and...
