Harrison Ford was the second actor to play CIA analyst and occasional action hero Jack Ryan, and this is his second film in that role. It's Clear and Present Danger, released on the 3rd of August, 1994. There's a lot of political intrigue, a lot of Harrison Ford looking confused and out of his depth, and a lot of Willem Dafoe blowing stuff up.

For the second time this year, we're checking out a film that helped launch Jim Carrey's career. It's superhero comedy The Mask, released July 29th, 1994. Carrey plays a very nice guy who finds a mask that transforms him into a cartoon/gangster hybrid. We're joined by Meerna Yousif (The Big HOO-HAA! / The Improv Conspiracy) to see how well it holds up.

Today's episode is all about Lassie! Not the classic series of movies from the 40s and 50s, we're doing the version released July 22nd in 1994!

True Lies, released July 15th in 1994, is a spy film. You've got Arnold Schwarzenegger lying to Jamie Lee Curtis about what he does for work. You've got James Cameron's classic 20min long action sequences. There's one-liners, there's explosions. With all that, it's got to be good, right? We gave it a rewatch to find out.

Speed, released 10th of June, 1994, is the classic fast-paced action movie about a bus that has to stay above 50mph. It's fun, it's silly, it's full of Keanu Reeves getting gut feelings.

We watched 3 films this week, all set within the kids martial arts franchise 3 Ninjas. One of them was fun, one of them had a good message, but we're reviewing the one that the fans hated. 3 Ninjas Kick Back, released May 6th, 1994, is a mix between martial arts and baseball. It's also set after the events of the third film, despite being the second entry into the franchise. It's a whole thing, th...

With Honors, released on April 29th, is the first of four films from 1994 that feature Brendan Fraser. We're a big fan of his so we had to check this out. Joe Pesci from Jimmy Hollywood (Episode 13) is also in this one. Plus, we premiere a brand new segment. It's very silly.

Jimmy Hollywood was released on the 1st of April and we sorta wish it was just an april fool's joke. It's about Jimmy, played by Joe Pesci, who is a struggling actor. He decides to become a vigilante and patrol the streets of Hollywood. It sounds like a fun premise, right? They somehow made it very boring. The final scene is fun though.   Join the Bad Porridge Club on Patreon for TWO bonus ep...

Love monkeys? We do too! That's why we are very disappointed with this movie. Released on the 18th of March in '94, Monkey Trouble is about a monkey that likes to steal shiny things. It's full of medium-speed car chases, very awkward dialogue, and kids rapping. Lots and lots of kids rapping.

Today it's all about business and sales and stock and all that, as we check out The Hudsucker Proxy.
