Shane made a last minute resolution to try and start being creative again.  So, before the podcast gets rebooted, he jumps on solo - with no script - to discuss the film and tv shows he enjoyed in 2022.  Listen to the ramblings and tangents that happen when Shane only has himself to talk to.

The "Star Wars" prequels began on this date in 1999, and Shane dives deep into what it meant to him as an employee.  He tells stories about the employee screening, waiting in line for toys, and cosplaying as Darth Maul.  The financials are looked at, and then Shane wraps up by discussing how a viewing in 2012 changed his opinion on the film.

It Summertime, and the guys are joined by Jason Richardson to take a look at the big blockbuster movies that have been released in the past.  Starting with "Jaws" and moving into the 80s and 90s, everyone gives their perspectives on the movies they were aware of as big summer hits, while telling some of their memories.  Some summer gets more love than others, like 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997,...

It's a FOUR-banger this week, with a Director's Battle Royale. Jeff Pollack, Mike Newell, Alexandre Payne, and David Cronenberg all directed films released on this weekend in 1999, and Shane takes a look the wide genres of Bad SNL Comedy, Alpha Male Drama, Teen Sex Comedy Campaigning, and Body Morphing Video Game Science Fiction. 

It's Earth Day!  And since Shane loves shticks, he's decided that he's going to talk to Jason about movies with "Earth" in their titles.  In defiance of Jason Richardson, Shane attempts to convince Jason L. Maier that there are some good films with "Earth" in the title.  Jason L. Maier admits to the few films he's seen this week, and pulls out one that Shane forgot to mention.

It's another trifecta weekend in 1999, but Shane doesn't have much to say about two of the three films.  Shane has never seen "All About My Mother", so he looks at the awards its won.  Shane didn't see "Friends & Lovers" until 2000 when he was working at a video store.  Finally, Shane does have a lot to say about his recent re-watch of the comedy film "Life".  Shane looks a...

Boston.  Ms. Betty.  The Oscars.  Bruce Willis. These are all topics that get discussed before we take a look at the Facebook Poll Jason put up, asking people for films that surprised them.  Films that they had no expectations for, but ended up being surprised by how much they enjoyed the film.

This week in 1999 saw two films competing for the teenage/youth adult demographic.  Both "Go" and "Never Been Kissed" were released on the same weekend, and gave audiences two really fun and enjoyable films.  One was a drama with some comedy and one was a comedy with some romance.  Shane takes a look at both of the amazing casts for these films, and discusses the soundtrack to "Go".

In Shane's entire theatre-attending life, he has only ever walked out of one movie. This week, Shane sits down to tell the story of that night, and to finally finish the film that he and David C. Maier walked out of halfway through. Afterwards, Shane addresses a 1999 film that he had never seen before this week, and actually enjoyed.

It's another triple-release weekend in 1999.  This week, Shane discusses how he was never age-appropriate to watch "Doug's 1st Movie".  Shane then looks at how ahead-of-its-time and prophetic "ED TV" turned out to be, before finishing the episode with a look at the young and hip cast of "The Mod Squad".

Ben Affleck, "Brokeback Mountain", and Best Pictures are some of the topics we get into this week.  Because Shane hasn't seen as many nominees as he would like to; the guys have invited Jason B. Richardson and Chris Schneider onto the show to discuss their feelings on the major nominees; who they want to win; and who they think will actually that home the prize.  They educated Shane and...
