The Good, the Bad, and the Nerdy Movie podcast

Was 1999 better than 1994?

I discussed why 1989 is a beloved year and remind the audience that many episodes have already covered movies of 1989.

Will, Bruce and I cover Tim Burton’s acclaimed but under seen Biopic of ED WOOD. Is it really just about Bela Lugosi? Is it better or worse than you remember? Tom loves it, Will loves Plan 9 and Bruce is confused but has respect. PULL THE STRINGS and don’t mention Boris Karloff...

Before the Greatest Movie Ever Podcast cover 1994’s ED WOOD, we look at two movies Tim Burton almost made instead. Cabin Boy & Mary Reilly both later made by other directors to less success.

To start our series on 1994 Will, Bruce and I look at Gump winner of Best Picture and second highest grossing film. Tom likes it, Bruce hates all things Hanks, Will has seen it twice. We destroy all of the wacky magic of the movie and then more. This ain’t a box of chocolates!

Before we start our series on movies from 1994, I discuss why 1994 was an important year.
