90 Under 90

ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED 05/20/2021 Ken Palmer, friend and fellow comedian is back on the podcast to talk about one of the all time greatest stand-up shows from perhaps THE all time greatest stand-up.  We're discussing the 1982 concert film "Richard Pryor: Live on the Sunset Strip"

ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED 05/13/2021 Today we discuss the indie dramedy "The Party" from 2017, which features NO cake, NO pizza, and NOT A STREAMER IN SIGHT!  Some party!

ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED 05/06/2021 It's a very special episode of 90 Under 90 as we go without a guest host this week to pay tribute to our late mother. "All Dogs Go to Heaven" was her all-time favorite movie, so it would feel wrong to have someone else talk about it.  Unfortunately we could never talk about it with her on this podcast, so instead, we dive into Don Bluth's supremely strangely-th...

ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED 04/29/2021 Nothing like three white dudes talking about a spoof on blaxploitation films.  But here we go! Casey Freund joins us to talk about the Keenen Ivory Wayans directorial debut, which co-stars Bernie Casey, Jim Brown, Isaac Hayes, Antonio Fargas, Steve James, Ja'net DuBois, Dawnn Lewis, John Vernon, Kadeem Hardison, and Damon Wayans.

ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED 04/27/2021 On Tuesday, May 4th, 2021, we'll be launching our Patreon with exclusive shows and content you won't find in the main feed.  So to kick things off, Jer and Mike give a little preview of what's to come with their spin-off show "Franchise First-Timers."

ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED 04/22/2021 For a movie that's real easy to hate on, there's surprisingly not TOO much hate for this movie.  Neal Fischer joins us once again to talk about the John Ritter-led 88 minute Weird Al gag: "Stay Tuned" directed by Peter Hyams.

ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED 04/20/2021 Last week, Jaleel White announced the release of a strain of cannabis called Purple Urkel, so since no one asked (and since it's 4/20,) Jer runs down a list of other cannabis strains he's interested in trying. Write to us at 90under90@gmail.com with your own HIGHlarious strain names! Do you enjoy Since No One Asked?  If so, you'll want to join our Patreon launc...

ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED 04/15/2021 We're joined by another new guest host this week!  We welcome Joshua Simpson to the show to talk about the half animated "The Pagemaster" from 1994 starring Macaulay Culkin, Patrick Stewart, Whoopi Goldberg, Ed Begley Jr., Leonard Nimoy, Frank Welker, and of course the always-safe Christopher Lloyd as the titular Pagemaster.  Yeah!  That's right!...

ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED 04/08/2021 Today we're joined by our old friend Cass Quinn for her first appearance on our show as we take our first venture into the murky John Waters.  We're discussing Johnny Depp's first starring role in a feature film: "Cry-Baby" written and directed by John Waters and starring Amy Locane, Rikki Lake, Tracy Lords, and Willem Dafoe.

ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED 04/01/2021 On this VERY special episode, we decide to break protocol for just one week and dive straight into the MCU.  Ian Simmons joins us once again to discuss the Joss Whedon superhero ensemble that WASN'T a Frankenstein mess: "The Avengers" from 2012! Waaaaaaaaaaait a second.......

ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED 03/25/2021 We've been doing this show for over three years now, and it's taken us this long to cover a Mel Brooks movie!  And oddly enough, we have a lot to say about "Silent Movie" from 1976 starring Mel, Dom Deluise, Marty Feldman, Bernadette Peters, Burt Reynolds, Paul Newman and James Caan.

ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED 03/11/2021 After an extended hiatus, Jay Drumm is back on the show to talk about Jackie Chan's US debut film "Rumble in the Bronx" directed by Stanley Tong.  It's easy to see how America became so enamored with Chan the Man after this fun but flawed film.

ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED 03/04/2021 We're joined by Micah McCaw (The McCaw Podcast Universe) to talk about the time bending Shane Carruth indie "Primer" from 2004.  Or as we like to call it: "Public Storage: The Movie."

ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED 02/25/2021 We FINALLY get to do the movie that guest host Ken Palmer has been pushing for since the beginning.  So thankfully he's back to talk about "Cyborg" from director Albert Pyun and starring the Muscles From Brussels Jean-Claude Van Damme.  This is a truly bizarre, cheaply made sci-fi from 1989 with a backstory more interesting than the film itself.

ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED 02/18/2021 It's a little odd, this movie.  Okay, it's very odd.  Imagine "A Hard Day's Night" but with less success.  You're imagining "Head," the surreal, nonsensical movie directed by Bob Rafelson and starring the poor man's Beatles: The Monkees.

ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED 02/11/2021 Before he was Thanos...before he was Cable...before he was Tommy Lee Jones, but like the young version...Josh Brolin...WAS...in a terrible DC movie called "Jonah Hex" directed by Jimmy Hayward.  Megan Fox, John Malkovich and Michael Fassbender co-star in this Western take that starts out promising and just falls off the rails.

ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED 02/04/2021 Well thank G-d we had a Jew on the show to talk about this week's title, because we would feel wrong even discussing it otherwise.  Charlie Wein is here to discuss his criticism and appreciation of the millennial Jewish experience that is "An American Pickle" directed by Brandon Trost and starring Seth Rogen and Seth Rogen.

ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED 01/28/2021 The breakdown of opinions for this movie was surprising for all three of the hosts this week.  Mike Klappauf joins us to talk about the 2003 thriller "Identity" directed by James Mangold and starring Alfred Molina and Pruitt Taylor Vince.  John Cusack, Ray Liotta, Amanda Peet, John Hawkes, Clea DuVall, John C. McGinley, William Lee Scott, Rebecca De Mornay...

ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED 01/21/2021 We're joined by Rick Schuler this week to discuss the tipping point during Eddie Murphy's second wave in the mid-90's: "Dr. Dolittle" directed by Betty Thomas and featuring the voice talents of Norm Macdonald, Chris Rock, Albert Brooks, Garry Shandling, Julie Kavner, Paul Reubens, Brian Doyle-Murray, and John Leguizamo, but NOT Tony Shalhoub!

ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED 01/14/2021 Well yeah, we are doing another Saturday Night Live movie up in here.  Phil Platakis joins us to talk about the movie that killed SNL movies for a number of years: "The Ladies Man" starring Tim Meadows and Karyn Parsons with ranging quality in supporting roles by Billy Dee Williams, John Witherspoon, Will Ferrell, Eugene Levy, Julianne Moore, and Tiffani Amber-...

ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED 01/07/2021 We're kicking off 2021 with Ian Simmons as we talk about a documentary that simultaneously makes its subject look like a god and a douchebag.  We have a deep discussion on the craft of comedy, attempt to separate the art from the artist, and all mutually agree that George Shapiro seems pretty cool.  "Comedian" follows Jerry Seinfeld on his return to stand-...

ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED 12/31/2020 90 Under 90 Presents: The Top Ten List Poor David Letterman is just trying to find some positivity during the pandemic!

ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED 12/24/2020 Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you all!  As our gift to you, we give you this bonus episode of 90 Under 90! During this time when we can't spend the holidays with our families, we decide to watch a movie about two people who hate spending any time with their families.  It's by no means a Christmas classic, but there's nothing wrong with a decent mid...

ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED 12/18/2020 90 Under 90 Presents: "Happy Birthday, Mike!" Today is guest host Mike Klappauf's birthday, and he received a very special voicemail!
