Christmas comes early for the listeners of Podcast Like It’s 1999 as Phil and Kenny are joined by Eric Carrasco (Supergirl) to discuss the 1999 Denise Richards vehicle “Dr. Christmas Jones and the World Is Not Enough” (co-starring Pierce Brosnan as James Bond).

We all have dreams, but the truly great ones dare to dream the dreams that have never been dreamt before. Take Carrie Gillogly (AMC), our guest for the week. Carrie had a dream to guest on the podcast about October Sky, the 1999 Jake Gyllenhaal-Chris Cooper space/mining drama, and make co-host Kenny appreciate it for the sensitive story of one man’s perseverance it is. At every turn, she experienc...

Once in a generation, a podcast comes along that is so riveting, so ravishing, so revolutionary that it can only be described as a SUPERCAST. Unfortunately, our podcast on Molly Shannon’s Superstar is not that supercast. It is, however, an honest and frank discussion of a wildly misunderstood and underappreciated diamond in 1999’s rough. Much thanks to our guests, Molly Green and James Leffler (St...

In honor of our first full year of chronicling the films of 1999, Phil and Kenny look back at their first 52 episodes and give out awards (for which only the films we’ve arbitrarily chosen to cover are eligible!). Join us as we run down our Bests (like actors, actresses, screenplay, song and scene), Worsts (like worst movie, worst fashion and worst aged) and Biggest (surprise, letdown). We also gi...

It’s been a full year here at Podcast Like It’s 1999 and Phil and Kenny are celebrating in style as they are joined by producer Hailey Wierengo to discuss Pedro Almodóvar’s Oscar-winning film “All About My Mother!” I just write the synopses, so I don’t know what this movie is about, but Moms are great, so I’m sure it’s a sweet tale about fun moms! Mwah! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for m...

Kenny and Phil are not your average podcasters. Most podcasters look at humanity and see a small sliver who can podcast at even a remedial level. But not Kenny and Phil. They believe that podcasting comes from within... that it comes from the heart.    So, it was with that spirit, that they invited Melissa Lora and Corinne Stikeman - two podcast guests with a scant four guest episodes of experienc...

One of the quirks of 1999 is that the year produced several high-profile entities’ most off-brand films. Included among these is David Lynch’s not-weird “The Straight Story,” Eddie Murphy’s not-funny “Life,” Disney’s not-musical “Tarzan,” and Rob Reiner’s not-good “The Story of Us.” Add to that “Outside Providence.” Emily Fox (Hindsight, Girlfriends Guide to Divorce) joins us to discuss the Farrel...

This week, tune in for a discussion about M.  Night Shyamalan’s “The Sixth Sense” with Phil... Kenny... and... ***TWIST*** No guest! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

It was a dark and stormy night when Clarke Wolfe came into the podcast studio like hurricane to weather a conversational storm about Forces Of Nature with Phil and Kenny.  A flood of analysis was followed by a tidal wave of critical thought and a tsunami of disagreement. Is Forces of Nature a tornado of fun or is it a volcano, it’s molten lava slowly threatening to devour you from the ankles up, a...

What is Life? For centuries, the greatest minds in science, philosophy and theology have endeavored to answer that most unanswerable of questions. We’ve grappled with its meaning, questioned its purpose and cursed its inevitable end. While the experience is universal, it’s the ineffable nature of it has baffled us all. A satisfying answer, it seemed, was never to be. But then, in 1999, like a bolt...

This podcast started as a bet. Could Phil and Kenny take any guest and turn him into the Podcasting King? After rejecting a few deeper-voiced possibilities, they settled on David Iserson, who had glasses. David proved to be more than meets the eye, however, when he shrewdly chose the film “She’s All That,” an oft-requested classic of the teen genre, as his movie. David proceeded to wow the boys wi...

In this episode, Phil, Kenny and Michaela Dietz (Steven Universe) will boldly attempt to do what no three people have ever done: have a thoughtful and sensitive conversation about Rob Schneider’s Magnum Opus, “Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo.” Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Oh, how wonderful! 1999 has brought us yet another treat in the form of a movie from the Disney Renaissance, the delightful era that birthed such classics as "The Little Mermaid, "Beauty and the Beast" and "The Lion King." How sweet they are, with their singing animals, dancing inanimate objects and overall sense of wonder! I can't wait to see which one we get to-- Oh, it's "Tarzan." We got "Tarza...

Get your helmets on, your spikes tied and your jocks strapped as Phil, Kenny and Zander Lehmann (creator of Casual) bring you some hard-hitting, brain-bashing, eyeball-popping football movie talk!!!!!?????!!! Is Any Given Sunday a celebration of modern day gladiators, a critique of its bloodthirsty culture or both????!!!!??? Can a moviewatcher se...

Phil and Kenny welcome Alison Eakle (Shondaland) to the pod to discuss a film that puts its all right out there in the title.    But between the unsuccessful suicide attempt that opens the film and the more successful ones that close it, is a beautiful, haunting film about the joys and horrors of growing up female in suburban America.   The joys include camaraderie among your peers, dew-lit school...

And then they were down to three contestants in the Mr. Podcast Like its 1999 pageant: Phil Iscove, Kenny Neibart and Jarett Wieselman (Netflix Social). With all three men tied, it would come down to their answers in the interview portion.    Phil went first and his question was: "If you were stuck on a desert island, what one movie from 1999 would you take with you and why is it Drop Dead Gorgeou...

In this episode of Podcast Like It’s 1999 Keely Flaherty (Netflix) joins Phil and Kenny to the Egyptology travelogue, “The Mummy.” While some see “The Mummy” as a morality tale set against the sandy deserts of Cairo, we here at Podcast Like It’s 1999 prefer to view the work as an ode to the weary archaeologist, she who spans the globe in search of the riches and secrets of a epoch lost to history....

In every high school, there are many cliques. There are the jocks. There are the nerds. There are the goths. There are the... murderers. And then, there are Phil, Kenny and Heather Regnier (Sleepy Hollow, SMILF): the clique who podcasts about the murderers. Join us for our podcast about high school politics, 90s teen tropes, the power of satire and the correct pronunciation of the word “clique.” H...

We did a podcast. It was a podcast about "Bringing Out the Dead," That movie about ambulance drivers in Hell's Kitchen? We talked with Stephen Vitale, a filmmaker, for while about the intersection of life and death and whatnot. We thought it was a lovely, constructive and enlightening conversation. So why do we still feel like there's nothing to live for?   This podcast. It's important. Maybe not...

Stacy McKee (creator, Station 19) joins Phil and Kenny for a lively discussion about Never Been Kissed. Never Been Kissed is, of course, a work of narrative fiction. But if YOU’VE never been kissed, it can serve as a how-to guide as well! Step One: Look like, and be as, charming as Drew Barrymore Step Two: Get a job at a newspaper run by a crazy old man (like a Garry Marshall-type) who is willing...

Phil and Kenny are joined by the Director of “The Spy Who Dumped Me,” Susanna Fogel. Or are they? Because in this podcast, nothing is as it seems. What sounds like a friendly discussion about domestic terrorism might actually be code for something for more sinister. What could be heard as a simple recasting of a modern version of “Arlington Road” might really be seeing the seeds for something far...

In our second episode of our Bonus series, "The Class of 1999," Phil and Kenny are delighted to welcome writer and director of one of 1999's most loved films, "Cruel Intentions." in addition to "Cruel Intentions," Roger has directed "The Sweetest Thing," "Just Friends" and countless episodes of television. They discuss Cruel Intentions' origins and production, that kiss, that scene and so much mor...

During speculative sex, Boy is told h...

Cultural critics and married couple Libby Hill (Los Angeles Times) and Todd VanDerWerff (Vox) join us to discuss Rob Reiner’s 1999 comedy about a couple going through a crisis that might lead to divorce. Bruce Willis and Michelle Pfeiffer play the couple. It takes place in LA. It utilizes flashback. Im sorry, are we being too vague? Vaguer than the damn title The Story of Us???? Just listen. It’s...
