The Movies of 1999

This week Jason and Craig try the American Romper Stomper on for size with the Edwards Norton and Furlong in the controversial moral tale of American History X before entering the bizarre world of Anthony Banderas's farcical melodrama in Crazy in Alabama. See you at the movies!

Jason and Craig enter Kubrik's dreamscape to travel under the rainbow to the tune of a single, repeated note on the piano in the curious fable of fidelity in Eyes Wide Shut before retreating to a heist turned romance in the strangely nude The Thomas Crown Affair. See you at the movies!

Craig and Jason begin this week's episode with a bleak exploration of generational toxic masculinity in snowy New Hampshire with the dismal and redemptionless Affliction, before venturing into the world of beauty pageants with the hilarious mockumentary Drop Dead Gorgeous. See you at the movies!

This week Jason records the podcast surreptitiously by hiding behind bushes and following Craig around, all while sheltering from chubby rain, as the pair somehow produce a discussion about the Steve Martin and Eddie Murphy comedy Bowfinger, directed by Yoda. The pair then bum a smoke and enter the world of punk NYC for a second week running to find out what Elvis Costello did for NYE in 1981. See you at the movies!

It's off to race cars around Paris and Nice in pursuit of a classic McGuffin this week as Jason and Craig dive over railings into the world of Espionage and Samurai with the classic De Niro movie Ronin, after which they regret their decision to move to 1977 New York in search of serial killers in Spike Lee's bad joint Summer of Sam. Stick around for the ball drop to see what we'll be talking about on next week's show, and see you at the movies!

This week Jason and Craig eat a lot of spaghetti and talk with a New York accent as the enter the world of the mafia, beginning with Enemy of the State, a prescient surveillance-state thriller starring a pre-slap Will Smith before wondering about what went wrong with the woeful Mickey Blue Eyes, a forgettable rom-com that milks the last drop out of the world's fascination with the awkward and foppish Hugh Grant. Intermission this week features a look at Harry Potter. See you at the movies!

Once more into the breach Jason and Craig travel to 1950's Italy this week to join the beautiful, fashionable, privileged youth of America in the original White Lotus as we follow the psychopath Tom Ripley as he sabotages his own happiness, before fleeing to Morocco where a 1970's mum drags her two girls along with her in a voyage of self-discovery in the autobiographical and strangely named Hideous Kinky. We then cut live to this week's movie night to find out if the gambler's fallacy is really as false as it is claimed (spoiler: it is). See you at the movies!

It's a twinpeat! Jason and Craig slow down to consider things as the Lynchian drama of Twin Falls Idaho unfolds, bad puns and all, before travelling to NYC to watch Aldi Top Gun as the alpha males of the air traffic control industry duke it out. At least we have our very own Cate Blanchett to admire. Finally, we tune in to the ninth movie night to find out which to films we'll be delving into during next week's episode. Believe it, or not! And see you at the movies.

Join us this week as Jason and Craig return to school (well, Jason at least) to find out what's different with high school dramedies from the nineties. Either it's hyper-real Roald Dahl storybook fantasy or schlock-horror sci-fi mashup with an unlikely cast of characters, from our old mate Shooter McGavin to everyone's favourite host of The Daily Show with Hobbits and Terminators in the mix for good luck. Finally, Wil is trapped in a time loop this week with Phillip Jeffries so listen as he phones in for the ball drop from the coffee pot he's trapped in to find out which two movies we'll be chatting about in next week's show (hint; they're in the Letterboxd list below). Turns out it's gonna be a Twin-Peat after all.

This week Jason and Craig come to an epiphany when talking about Mike Judge's office culture comedy which took them back to the vibe of a late-nineties software consultancy mired in joyless Y2K patching before heading to India to visit Baba the Guru with Kate Winslet and Harvey Keitel in Jane Campion's very different and surprisingly deep psycho-sexual tale of transformation.
