ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED 12/11/2020 90 Under 90 Presents: "Brad Pitt Orders Chinese Food" Poor Brad has trouble while placing order for the family!

ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED 12/08/2020 Since no one asked, Dan tells us what he thinks makes the perfect Adam Sandler movie, and the brothers discuss a bygone era.

ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED 11/12/2020 Kaitlin finally returns to talk about another Christopher Guest movie, but this one strays ever so slightly from his run up to this point.  "For Your Consideration" is not a faux-documentary per se, but it plays much like one, with a few cinematic exceptions.  Catherine O'Hara truly stars in this Hollywood satire supported by the Guest staples we all love:...

ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED 11/05/2020 Some have referred to this week's title as a prequel to "Joker" or "Joker" being a sequel to this week's title.  We definitely notice a few similarities, and we discuss those and more with Mike Klappauf for one of his favorite movies "You Were Never Really Here" starring Joaquin Phoenix.

ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED 10/29/2020 We made it!  We've reached the end of our miniseries and the end of the Scary Movie franchise.  Ian Simmons joins us to talk about this franchise-killing final entry starring a very miscast Ashley Tisdale alongside Simon Rex (as a new character), Molly Shannon (as a new character), Charlie Sheen (as...himself?), and...ah, who really cares? This movie is ho...

ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED 10/22/2020 At four entries in, we've finally reached the divisive movie in the franchise.  One of us likes this one more, one likes it less, and Neal Fischer likes what they're making fun of!  We're continuing David Zucker's era in the "Scary Movie" franchise with "Scary Movie 4", a take on "The Grudge" and..."War of the Worlds" for some reason?  The Zucker core...

ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED 10/15/2020 The Wayans may have peaced out, but we're plugging along!  Madalyn Mattsey joins us to talk about the franchise pivoting "Scary Movie 3" directed by David Zucker, who proudly patted Keenen Ivory Wayans on the back and said "I got this, buddy."  Anna Faris and Regina Hall stick around, but they are joined by franchise newcomers Charlie Sheen, Simon Rex, Ant...

ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED 10/08/2020 Rick Schuler returns to the show to discuss another movie that he completely forgot had some kind of connection to our youth.  Us boners are ready to talk about the Wayans' sequel which lacks a bit of coherence but makes up for with just the right amount of Chris Elliot.  It doesn't matter who died or who was a murderer in the first movie, because the gang...

ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED 10/01/2020 It's officially October, which means it's officially our Halloween themed month of episodes, and for the first time on our show, we're doing a true miniseries!  It's "Scary Movie" month all October, and we kick it off with the original Scream spoof that spawned a whole slew of parody "(BLANK) Movies" with diminishing returns each time. Keenen Ivory Wayans direc...

ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED 09/24/2020 Everyone loves "Evil Dead II", and we already covered "Army of Darkness" so we said fuggit and went back to the original!  Ken Palmer joins us for a little Halloween appetizer to discuss the original Sam Raimi movie that launched a very odd franchise.

ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED 09/17/2020 This week, well we're talking about Christopher Nolan's first movie then, aren't we?  Kevin Kirchman is back to complete his own viewing of Christopher Nolan's filmography with this all British precursor to "Memento", the black and white indie known as "Following".

ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED 09/10/2020 Take a ride with us for another one of Charlie Wein's picks, the 2013 film "Locke" written and directed by Steven Knight.  This is a really great movie that plays almost more like...well, a play.  Tom Hardy literally drives this movie with the help of a supporting cast of vocal performances by Olivia Coleman, Ruth Wilson, Andrew Scott, Ben Daniels and Tom...

ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED 09/03/2020 It's Rex Manning Day on 90 Under 90 as we revisit the mid-90's with "The Breakfast Club" of its time: "Empire Records" directed by Allan Moyle and starring an ensemble cast (including Liv Tyler, Renee Zellweger, Rory Cohrane, Robin Tunney, Ethan Embry to name just a few!) that would mostly go on to do great things.  Joining us for this Gen X coming-of-age...

ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED 08/17/2020 Since no one asked, Jer shares his thoughts on a certain superhero franchise that's long overdue for a cinematic adaptation.

ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED 08/27/2020 It's not often we talk about legitimate classics on our show, but this week we're going old school as Patrick Lewandowski joins us to talk about the first cinematic adaptation of "The War of the Worlds", a very non-Orson-Welles sci-fi with an odd structure.

ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED 08/20/2020 We're not exactly sure when David Zucker reached his comedy peak, but it's surprisingly not with this classic spoof comedy "The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad!" based on the TV series "Police Squad!"  Leslie Nielsen stars in his most popular role of Frank Drebin in this 1988 trilogy-starting movie that, again, is not as funny as its reputation.

ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED 08/13/2020 On a recent episode, Jer mentioned that stop motion movies tend to put him to sleep.  So it seems only appropriate that we confirm that this is still the case.  Katie Binkley returns for her birthday episode wherein she chose to discuss the 2005 snoozer "Corpse Bride" AKA "Tim Burton's Corpse Bride" despite the fact that he's only a co-director.

ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED 08/06/2020 Okay, folks.  Prepare yourselves.  It's going to be a controversial episode!  We're joined once again by Ian Simmons to talk about a movie that just recently celebrated its 30th anniversary: "Ghost Dad' starring Bill Cosby and directed by Sidney Poitier.  And we won't bury the lead.  This is going to get rapey.

ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED 07/30/2020 It's our first official crossover episode of 90 Under 90!  We are joined for a fantastic cussin' discussion about Wes Anderson's 2009 movie "Fantastic Mr. Fox" based on the novel by Roald Dahl.  The stop motion animated movie remains pure Wes in this comedy starring George Clooney, Meryl Streep, Bill Murray, Jason Schwarzmann, and Willem Dafoe.  We're...

ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED 07/23/2020 We're back in the studio this week, so Jer asked Mike to pick a movie for a good old-fashion trashin'.  Was it worth it?  Because this week we're discussing the 1999 beginning of Brendan Fraser's downfall with "Dudley Do-Right", yet another animated adaptation that doesn't know its audience.  Based on the Jay Ward cartoon, the movie is directed by Hug...

ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED 07/16/2020 Every time we get to talk with our oldest buddy Rick Schuler feels like we're stepping back in time.  So it's appropriate that we talk about a time travel-ish movie with him.  We step back to 2012 to talk about a movie full of nobodies who went on to become big somebodies.  We're discussing Colin Trevorrow's "Safety Not Guaranteed" starring Aubrey Pla...

ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED 07/09/2020 Romantic comedy?  Relationship drama?  This movie is neither of those.  Charlie Wein returns to the show to talk about the Blumhouse--er, excuse me BH horror movie "Sweetheart" directed by JD Dillard and starring Kiersey Clemons, as well as an actor Jer didn't know he was capable of hating so much!

ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED 07/06/2020 Since No One Asked, Dan felt very strongly about "Tenet" and its box office potential.  But then they changed the release date.  Recorded before the release date was pushed back to August.

ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED 07/02/2020 The nostalgia for this week's movie makes no sense at all.  We're celebrating the 30th anniversary of a movie released in 1990, which reeks of 1980's, based on a cartoon from the 60's.  Ken Palmer joins us to talk about "Jetsons: The Movie", a film that quite literally killed its star.  Directed by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera and featuring the vo...
