The Movies of 1999
To celebrate the 25th jubilee of what is considered by many to be the greatest year of cinema I’ll be hosting a movie night each weekend for the entire year. This podcast is my invitation to you to join us for the ride. Venture back with us to the before-times when movies could be daring and unpredictable and different to anything anybody had seen before. See you at the movies!

Craig and Jason enter the jungles of FNQ, along with half of Hollywood, to watch the saintly Jim Caviezel philosophise about war in Terrence Malick's impactful "The Thin Red Line" before donning prosthetic foreheads and hitting the football field in "Varsity Blues". See you at the movies!

In this weeks unfortunately delayed episode Jason and Craig venture to the heart of feudal New Jersey in the wonderfully unexpected Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai, where they follow a trail of severed heads to wind up in Tim Burton's Sleepy Hollow, where they abandon science and reason forever.

In this week's episode badly animated versions of Craig and Jason travel to a small town in snowy Colorado to find out what happens when underage kids view sweary Canadian movies in "South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut" before they swim with the sky-whales and ride the subways of Gershwin's NYC in Disneys wonderful "Fantasia 2000". See you at the movies!

This week Jason gets deep into numerology, probing the inner workings of his bingo machine to reveal an arthouse mashup of the previous two movies, The Matrix and Fight Club, in Darren Aranofsky's debut "Pi", followed by Craig's probing of the manufactured gross-out cringe-fest of "American Pie". See you at the movies!

This week Craig befriends Jason, a much cooler version of himself who introduces him to the world of challenging arthouse cinema as the pair splice a kranzky into David Fincher's "Fight Club" before Jason follows Craig around with a video camera and livestreams his everyday life while the pair delve into Rob Howard's "EDtv".

Craig dons his sunglasses and learns kung fu so that he can ride the Nebuchadnezzar into the pre-Olympics Sydney of 1999, apparently the epitome of civilisation, in the Wachowskis classic "The Matrix", before Jason returns to 1937 LA to pick up girls in the multi-layered Inception-esque "The Thirteenth Floor".

It's all revenge this week as Jason and Craig follow Terence Stamp as he avenges his daughter's suspicious death in Steven Soderbergh's "The Limey" before watching Mel Gibson take on a bad guy role in the film that Margaret Pomeranz gave no stars whatsover in the controversal "Payback".

Craig does his best Elvis impersonation while Jason adopts his alter-ego of Tony Clifton in order to fully embody Andy Kaufman in the intriguing "Man on the Moon", after which a big dose of saccharine sentimentality arrives in the form of Robin Williams in the overlong "Bicentennial Man".
