Revenge of the 90s: A Movie Podcast

FINISH HIM! We've brought on special guest Jordan Blum, creator of the upcoming M.O.D.O.K. series on Hulu, to talk about one of the most insane (and weirdly influential!) movies of the decade - 1995's 'Mortal Kombat.' The new movie sure has some big shoes to fill. And when you're done with the episode, be sure to TEST YOUR MIGHT and follow us on social @revengeof90spod. 

We've reached the end of another school year, but we've decided to go back to school here at Revenge of the '90s, as we're doing another collaboration episode with Uncanny Cinema to talk about the vastly underrated 1994 college comedy 'PCU,' starring Jeremy Piven. Be sure to check us out on social too @revengeof90spod!

If you want to see a Bobby Knight-esque Nick Nolte coaching Shaquille O'Neal and Penny Hardaway, have we got the movie for you. 'Blue Chips' is an underrated 1994 sports movie that features some of the best pure basketball action ever put on film, and it highlights issues the sport and the rest of the NCAA deal with to this day. Slam dunk our latest episode into your ear holes and then be sure to...

You won't find too many people who love the 1998 'Godzilla,' which pretty much takes a steaming you-know-what on everything that came before it. But as long as you think of this as a monster movie, and not so much a Godzilla movie, you're gonna have a good time! Join us and special guest Walt Braley (now of the elite Two-Time Guest Club) as we dig into this polarizing blockbuster. Check us out on...

This one's for all of you 'Anastasia' freaks out there! We know you couldn't get enough of this movie from just our last episode, so we invited our dear friend Carolyn - an 'Anastasia' superfan - to come on and talk more about it, though we very quickly veer off into many different, completely unrelated directions. Join in the fun! Be sure to follow us too on social media @revengeof90spod

By the late 1990s, the world was enamored with Pixar and the entire animated film industry was moving to a computer-generated existence. But here is 'Anastasia,' a classic animated children's movie about some incredibly dark subject matter - and it looks great! Let's get into this celebrity-packed movie! Be sure to follow us on social media @revengeof90spod.

You might not have realized this, but 1993's 'The Fugitive' is 10000% a St. Patrick's Day movie! And it's a tremendous action-thriller to boot, featuring incredible performances by Harrison Ford and Tommy Lee Jones, who go on to win the Oscar for his role. Get yourself a nice, tall glass of green beer and settle in for our latest episode, then be sure to follow us on social @revengeof90spod.

If you think this podcast hasn't spent enough time talking about the merits of eating human flesh, you're in for a treat! Today's episode covers 1993's 'Alive,' which is - almost unbelievably - based on a true story. When you're done thinking about finally eating human meat, be sure to follow us on social media @revengeof90spod!

It's time to DIE HARDER, folks! John McClane is back one year after his heroics at Nakatomi Plaza to now take down some terrorists at an airport. And here's the thing: this is a MASSIVELY underrated action movie - it's pretty much exactly like the first one, so what's not to like? Be sure to check us out on social @revengeof90spod! Good with any of John McClane's ridiculous/hilarious one-liners fo...

First of all, what happened to pro sports leagues licensing out their teams to movies? Secondly, 1999's 'Mystery, Alaska' is an underrated hockey comedy that features great on-screen hockey action, some heart, some laughs, and a fun Mike Myers cameo! Let's check in on this fun Russell Crowe film as we march closer and closer to the NHL playoffs. Be sure to check us out on social as well @revengeof...

Is this the movie that broke Michael Keaton for a while? Maybe! While there is a horror movie of the same name from the '90s, the 1998 'Jack Frost' is supposed to be a heartwarming family film, but it's pretty terrifying in its own right. When you're done recovering from this movie, be sure to check us out on social @revengeof90spod.

Skiing is partying, partying is skiing. If that's the mantra you use in life, you're in luck, because we're taking today's show to the slopes to talk about the 1991 raucous partyfest 'Ski School'! Be sure to also follow us on social @revengeof90spod for more!

Sure, 'Cliffhanger' is a Sylvester Stallone movie, but it's certainly a different vehicle for him. This 1993 action classic (which TOTALLY holds up) has Stallone doing some typical Stallone stuff, but he also plays a quieter, way more vulnerable character here, facing off against an insanely fun John Lithgow villain. It may not be one of his most revered movies, but 'Cliffhanger' deserves more rec...

Let's kick off our Winter Wonderland series with a wholesome comedy classic: 1993's 'Groundhog Day,' starring the one and only Bill Murray. Comedian, writer and fellow podcaster Greg Gallant joined us to cover this Harold Ramis-directed film, and to help us discover just how depraved we'd all become ourselves if we were stuck in an infinite time loop. Be sure to follow us on social media at @reven...

Men in Black is a '90s classic, not just for truly showcasing Will Smith's abilities as a leading man, but by show us that a blockbuster doesn't have to three hours long to be good, something today's movies might want to consider. Smith and Tommy Lee Jones make the perfect pairing in this sci-fi gem, and Vincent D'Onofrio is an ANIMAL as Edgar. Enjoy! Be sure to also follow us on social media @rev...

With the success of 'Jurassic Park,' studios were racing to snatch up any Michael Crichton property they could, thinking they could replicate the success of that now-classic. Which is how we got to 1995's 'Congo,' which is most certainly not a classic, but an insane movie to watch for about two hundred different reasons. Amy good girl! Be sure to follow us on social media @revengeof90spod.

We teamed up with fellow Robot Butt podcast The Franchise Strikes Back to dig in on two holiday classics - 'Home Alone' and 'Home Alone 2: Lost in New York.' In some ways, these are the movies that truly broke John Hughes, but hey, let's still appreciate them for being fantastic family comedies that hold up thirty years later! Be sure to follow us on social media @revengeof90spod.

Are you ready for a delightful holiday classic? Because that's exactly what you get in 1992's 'Batman Returns,' a truly dark and strange Batman movie that is unlike anything that has come since for the Caped Crusader. And with the rampant sexual innuendos, primarily coming from Danny DeVito's Penguin, it's amazing this was considered a kids' movie at all. But hey, we all saw it in the '90s and tur...

It's our 50th episode! We're celebrating the momentous occasion by talking about... uh... a decent, okay little comedy from the '90s. Kelsey Grammer hasn't had a ton of film success over the years, and 1996's 'Down Periscope' is the rare occasion where he has been given a leading role in a movie. It's... not too bad! Be sure to check us out on social media @revengeof90spod!

We brought comedian Luke Null back on the show to talk about what might be the most star-studded movie to ever exist - 1996's 'Mars Attacks!' This thing's got it all: Jack Nicholson in two roles, Pierce Brosnan at the height of his Bond-ness, NFL legend Jim Brown, Tom Jones singing with animals, Michael J. Fox in his final live-action movie role, a ridiculous Danny Elfman score, Glenn Close being...

Sometimes all you need in life is to watch a Martin Scorsese movie where everyone is throwing around vulgarities and there is ample violence all around. And sometimes you need to see it in its perfect form, which is how you come to 1990's 'Goodfellas,' a true gangster classic. Our guest on this episode is Columbus, Ohio broadcasting legend, writer, producer, and Whiskey Business podcast host Dino...

If you don't think 'The Mummy' is one of the most fun movies of all time, you are truly a fool. It's the perfect type of adventure film that features great characters and great action that holds up and never takes itself too seriously. Plus Brendan Fraser just flat-out rules, okay? Check out our new episode now and be sure to follow us on social media @revengeof90spod.

You may have heard that we're having a pretty important presidential election, so we're diving back into political comedies with 1999's 'Dick,' starring Kirsten Dunst, Michelle Williams, Dan Hedaya, and a whole bunch of great comedic actors - including Will Ferrell as Bob Woodward. As you agonizingly wait for election results to roll in, check out the episode and be sure to follow us on social med...

Despite having one of the STUPIDEST titles in movie history, 'Halloween H20: 20 Years Later' is actually a pretty good entry for a series that really lost its way in the '90s. Jamie Lee Curtis comes back as Laurie Strode, this time armed with Josh Hartnett as her son, and proceeds to really kick Michael Myers' ass. Definitely worth the watch! Join Steve, Fabs, and two-time guest Jillian Jacobs as...

Known as 'Dead Alive' in the United States but 'Braindead' everywhere else, this 1992 cult favorite has Peter Jackson doing some truly, truly insane stuff. At one point holding the record for most fake blood used in a film, this has the potential to gross out those with even the most hardened stomachs. This is a collaboration episode with our other podcast, Uncanny Cinema - go check it out!&n...
