Revenge of the 90s: A Movie Podcast

From Dusk Till Dawn' isn't often talked about as a true Quentin Tarantino movie, but it obviously totally is, and it RULES. Blending two completely different genres together and painting an incredibly vivid and ridiculous world within it, this is just a kickass movie that gets better with age. Join us and special guest Walt Braley as we talk about this classic, and be sure to follow us on social m...

Hocus Pocus' is one of those movies where other generations might not understand the hype, but for a lot of '90s kids, this might be THE Halloween movie to watch every year. And we're happy to report this 1993 Disney classic still holds up. So let's talk about it with special guest Evan Romansky, creator of 'Ratched'!

Tim Burton hasn't made a lot of true horror in his career, but 1999's 'Sleepy Hollow' certainly is certainly that, and it's a good one. Starring Johnny Depp (of course) and Christina Ricci, this is one of the best atmospheric gothic horror movies you'll ever see. And you get to enjoy Ray Park do his thing as the body of the Headless Horseman! Our guest today is actor, screenwriter, and composer Se...

If you love slasher movies, the mid-to-late '90s was truly your golden era. And smack dab in the middle of it all is 1998's 'Urban Legend,' which may not get as much love as its slasher brethren. But we're here to set things right with our guest Jillian Jacobs, the co-writer of 'Truth or Dare' and 'Fantasy Island.' And when you're done getting your slasher fix, be sure to follow us on social media...

The '90s were huge for stories that involved slugs infiltrating your brain through your ears, and that includes 1998's 'The Faculty,' starring pretty much everybody you've ever heard of. Joining us on today's episode is comedian Luke Null, so let's do this! Be sure to also follow us on social media @revengeof90spod.

Everyone knows 'Scream' is the master meta horror film, but 'Wes Craven's New Nightmare' is its true spiritual predecessor. Yet another example of why Freddy Krueger is the best horror villain of all time, this movie takes an old property and injects it with a fresh, fun perspective. And Freddy is scary as hell in this one, more closely designed to Craven's original image of him. Don't go to sleep...

Some of you might think 'The Silence of the Lambs' isn't a true horror movie, but TOO BAD, because we do. And we are as excited to talk about this 1991 classic as Buffalo Bill is to finish his skin suit. So let's dig in with special guest Linton Lewis, host of the Uncanny Cinema podcast.

There is nothing scarier on this planet than spiders; we all know that. And 1990's 'Arachnophobia' certainly knows that, as it delights in exploiting that fear at every possible turn. Which makes for a super fun creature feature starring Jeff Daniels! Enjoy the next episode in our Halloween Spooktacular that is sure to make your skin crawl, and when you're done with that, be sure to follow us on s...

Welcome to the Halloween Spooktacular, people! We're kicking off the festivities by talking about Peter Jackson's 1996 horror-comedy 'The Frighteners,' starring Michael J. Fox. Our guest on this episode is Bill Squire, co-host of The Alan Cox Show on WMMS in Cleveland, Ohio, and host of his own podcast, The Bill Squire Show.

We might say "they don't make them like this anymore" on this show a lot, but when it comes to 1998's 'The Mask of Zorro,' they REALLY don't make them like this anymore. With a fantastic cast and fun script, 'The Mask of Zorro' is an intoxicatingly fun adventure with a character that is once again seemingly ripe for a modern update. Be sure to also follow us on social media @revengeof90spod!

This week we are talking about a truly resplendent film - 1991's 'Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey'! Coming off the heels of the most excellent 'Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure,' the sequel does what any good sequel does: goes in a new direction and raises the stakes without losing the qualities of what made the first so good. Make sure to check out this episode before you indulge on the new in...

The United States Postal Service is under siege these days and we're here to help by talking about a post-apocalyptic movie where Kevin Costner pretends to be a postal worker but then becomes a real postal worker and he builds a following that kicks ass, takes names, and rebuilds the country! Let's do this! Be sure to follow us on Twitter and Instagram @revengeof90spod and to check out robotbutt.c...

We have somehow had a baseball season in the hellscape that is 2020, so we're going to celebrate by reviewing the 1994 Disney classic 'Angels in the Outfield,' starring Danny Glover, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Christopher Lloyd, and Tony Danza, baby!

Who is your daddy and what does he do? Welcome to the movie that spawned a million soundboards and even more prank calls over the past thirty years. We are of course talking about 1990's 'Kindergarten Cop,' starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, who shows off with yet another role that proves his comedic chops.

As if! This week's episode covers the teen comedy classic 'Clueless,' which is now officially 25 years old. Despite its incredibly weird falling-in-love-with-your-stepbrother subplot, this is one of the best teen comedies to come out of the decade and it totally holds up through great characters and really fun performances. Be sure to also check us out on Twitter and Instagram @revengeof90spod and...

COME ON AND SLAM, IF YOU WANNA JAM! For '90s kids, 'Space Jam' is a seminal piece of cinema, and here's the thing: it holds up! Especially when you consider that you cast Michael Jordan as the lead in a movie that involves essentially all cartoons. This movie rules and we will accept no other opinions on the matter. Feel free to call us idiots on Twitter and Instagram @revengeof90spod. Want to cha...

Father of the Bride' is full of old-school charm, anchored by the always-dependable Steve Martin. This 1991 comedy will give you serious bouts of nostalgia, and then untethered rage when you see how Martin's character gets treated at his own daughter's wedding. Enjoy!

If you haven't seen 1991's 'Nothing But Trouble,' you are one of the lucky ones (just kidding - watch this insanity!). This is truly one of the most mystifying, baffling moviegoing experiences - and it essentially killed Dan Aykroyd's career. Yes, it's that bad. But if you're a Chevy Chase, John Candy, or Aykroyd completist, it's essential viewing. And who doesn't love goofing on a bad movie, anyw...

Welcome to Earth! Obviously you love 1996's 'Independence Day' (it's scientifically impossible not to), but you may not realize just how much of an impact this movie has had on the modern blockbuster. An epic sci-fi adventure that pushed the use of CGI to new heights and helped make Will Smith a box-office star, it's time to revisit this '90s classic. And when you're done with that, be sure to fol...

How in the world were the Brady Bunch movies this good? And how in the world is the second movie even better than the first?! The '90s features a ton of great comedies, and 'A Very Brady Sequel' is one of the best, and it would ultimately inspire one of the internet's favorite memes. Be sure to follow us on Twitter at @revengeof90spod.

It is scientifically impossible to not like this movie. Amazing CGI that holds up to this day, Bill Paxton at the top of his game, a tremendous score, terrifying tornadoes - 'Twister' has it all. And now you can revisit it in our latest episode! When you're done with the episode and reeling for more, follow us on Twitter and Instagram @revengeof90spod.

We're finally dipping our toes into the water of 1999, as we revisit Drew Barrymore's 'Never Been Kissed.' An incredibly bizarre premise, coupled with some truly weird character choices, makes this movie, uh, different than we remembered. Follow us on Twitter: @revengeof90spod.

Sure, we've talked about a lot of movies on this podcast, but this is a true film. A piece of cinematic perfection. We are, of course, talking about 1995's action-thriller 'Sudden Death,' starring Jean-Claude Van Damme. Come for the great action set pieces, stay for the scene where he beats the hell out of the Pittsburgh Penguins' mascot!

Believe us when we say Kurt Russell had a better '90s than people typically give him credit for. 'Breakdown' is one of those hidden gems from the decade, featuring Russell trying to track down his missing wife. This 1997 mystery/thriller hits in all the right places.

Apollo 13' is one of the best movies of the '90s featuring possibly the best cast of all time. How can you go wrong with Tom Hanks, Bill Paxton, Kevin Bacon, Gary Sinise and Ed Harris? YOU CAN'T. Right in the middle of Tom Hanks' magical run, this remains one of the best movies ever made about NASA and the space program. Best of all, Houston, we've got ONE OF THE BEST MOVIES OF '90S.
