Your culturally stunted movie podcast hosts so fear covering a documentary on a Cuban music revival in BUENA VISTA SOCIAL CLUB that they are the ONLY ones reviving DVD sales/rentals of the Anthony Hopkins and Cuba Gooding Jr. starring INSTINCT.Because we are that damn good at what we do.

The movie event from 1999 in 2019 is finally here. The film that may very well be the reason that one host agreed to produce 100 podcasts just as yet another excuse to bask in the glory of a classic romcom. Julia Roberts is at the peak of her movie star powers in Richard Curtis and Roger Michell's NOTTING HILL.

This episode features a little known but much beloved film from an arthouse filmmaker who finally made good on his promise to tell a family melodrama in STAR WARS: EPISODE I - THE PHANTOM MENACE. One host finds George Lucas to be a tragic figure and the other tells him to wipe away his tears with billions of dollars. But both think this movie is fine.

What Tom Cruise couldn't do... Brendan Fraser did back in 1999. His version of THE MUMMY (along with some other fine people like Rachel Weisz) provided the playbook of comedy and action that Marvel has used to great success in their cinematic universe. But this podcast isn't about the cinema hellscape that we currently live in. No! This was a far more innocent time. A time when Brendan Fraser could be a star. And no smartass podcasters could hurt him.

Not a day has gone by in the twenty years since the release of David Mamet's THE WINSLOW BOY that a co-worker, a neighbor, or even someone in your own home has debated the merits of this particular case. That case would be of... THE WINSLOW BOY. So for this episode we present to you our version of the events (and we know you've heard many on practically every movie podcast) that transpired in... THE WINSLOW BOY. We know you are tired of it. But it had to be done.

We put on our best catsuit and get the lighting just right for our laser show of an episode which unfortunately for one host features little sex and for the other host it's even more unfortunate that the selected feature film is ENTRAPMENT. What you have here are two very disappointed men... broadcasting to very dedicated but also equally disappointed listeners. Dozens of you!

As if the stresses of producing the world's greatest podcast on COOKIE'S FORTUNE wasn't enough (twice no less!) on this episode we decided to tackle the world of flight controllers as presented in Mike Newell's PUSHING TIN. Starring John Cusack and Billy Bob Thornton as men who decide that having people's lives in their hands isn't enough to worry about so they decide to wife swap.

We know everyone is always ready for not only electing our fine representatives but also the coverage that precedes it. Which is why the hero we need right now is Reese Witherspoon as The Great Tracy Flick in the 1999 film ELECTION. Along the way we reminisce on our high school days and the immense power of class president that slipped through our fingers. We are old. And we are dying.

If four episodes in four days from 99 FROM 99 doesn't make you question reality then maybe our selected double feature will. In the original version of VANILLA SKY (OPEN YOUR EYES for us dumb Kentuckians) we find the same vain men that you are used to on this very podcast finding comeuppance in a mixture of heartbreak and Ted Williams pseudo-science. Taking that pseudo-science a step further in David Cronenberg's EXISTENZ we find video games where the controllers are made out of bone and mucus. Icky.

Apparently the greatest disappointment of 1999 wouldn’t come until 2019 when one of our intrepid hosts would rediscover the Drew Barrymore romcom NEVER BEEN KISSED and discover just what an angry old man he has become.Enjoy!Support what we do with bonus content and early episodes on PatreonListen iTunes/PodbeanFacebook/Instagram/Twitter: @99from99 Follow your hosts on Letterboxd for sneak peaks at film criticism GENIUS: Mike @markasplayed

Two middle-aged men try to relive the youth of 1999 cinema with the King of PULP FICTION heirs in GO from John August and Doug Liman. Then it's on to the place where everyone goes to party... Salt Lake City. Thankfully it features one of the finer performances from a SCREAM killer alum (spoiler, maybe? we won't say who in these show notes, that would be poor form) in SLC PUNK! All of this and our own experiences at raves in Utah (Patreon exclusive so we can actually make that happen) in the latest episode of 99 FROM 99!Support what we do with bonus content and early episodes on PatreonListen iTunes/PodbeanFacebook/Instagram/Twitter: @99from99 Follow your hosts on Letterboxd for sneak peaks at film criticism GENIUS: Mike @markasplayed

A little more time traveling in this one as we take a look not only at Robert Altman's 1999 film COOKIE'S FORTUNE (as every podcast is doing these days) along with some of his other work. Unfortunately for one host that's mainly GOSFORD PARK, and unfortunately for the other host he has to listen to the complaints of a simpleton about it. A true upstairs downstairs episode for all you fine folk in the 99 FROM 99 fanbase. A podcast for everyone.

For this episode of time traveling back to 1999 we play the ultimate hipster card and wonder if Christopher Nolan was overrated with his very first film: FOLLOWING. We've had twenty years to think on it (see how hip we were then and now we are just old and disgusting) and probably are no closer to a conclusion but we do have a thirty minute podcast for your enjoyment.

Twenty years later two middle-aged men celebrate Valentine's Day with the classic (?) teen romcom 10 THINGS I HATE ABOUT YOU. Just like every other middle-aged man is doing across this great nation. Snark aside, although this Julia Stiles/Heath Ledger starring film is full of it, we are curious how this film plays differently from our teenage years and surprise, surprise... one of your hosts has to face the fact that he's even more of a grouch as an old man facing an ever closer trip to the grave.

On this episode we truly live up to our premise of returning to simper times at the movies. For example, a time when there was only THE MATRIX and only a dream of reloaded revolutions. Unfortunately for one host this is the film he has dreaded revisiting the most as it may be a reminder of all those wasted hours of youth with Trinity and Neo. The other host sees this as mere shadowboxing to prepare for our upcoming episode on STAR WARS: EPISODE 1 - THE PHANTOM MENACE. In that way we are living proof that the more things change, the more they remain the same (especially when it comes to sci-fi fandom).

We return from our exhausting publicity tour for the first 12 episodes of this podcast with our masterpiece... coming shortly after this one on the Radiohead documentary MEETING PEOPLE IS EASY. This almost lost recording (and wouldn't you all be so thankful) talks about the strange marketing positioning that rock bands find themselves in when a rock doc is produced and if this one in particular represents a mere moment in time during the OK COMPUTER era of Radiohead's career or would it establish the band's identity as we still know it today?

This is A Very Special Episode of 99 FROM 99 as one host has subtitled it Great Directors Doing Their Worst Work... so doesn't that make you excited to hear our discussion on Clint Eastwood's TRUE CRIME and Ron Howard's EDtv? Fear not as there is some joy to be found, such as Mr. Eastwood racing his actual daughter to her doom in a teaching moment about going to the zoo with an obsessive true crime reporter. And how can one dislike Martin Landau as the most understanding father figure surrounded by buffoons in the "comedy" version of THE TRUMAN SHOW?

We hoped you saved room for a helping of more 99 FROM 99. This time we turn back to failed film in 1999 that had all the makings of a cult classic upon its release, and RAVENOUS does not disappoint as we follow Guy Pearce and Robert Carlyle in this strange cannibal buddy comedy from Antonia Bird.

We hustle our listeners to yet another episode on the films from 1999... although on this one we are keeping in tradition of this one arriving a bit later to the States, so yes, for you sticklers out there this is originally a 1998 film. But no matter! Celebrate with us the arrival of future action star Jason Statham in the movie that started his career as well as director Guy Ritchie.

On our latest episode of 99 FROM 99, one host discovers some disturbing secrets about his co-host. All will be revealed in this episode on guilty pleasure CRUEL INTENTIONS! Namely that one host disagrees with the verdict of feeling guilt for enjoying this look at the cutthroat world of the powerful and wealthy transported to the realm of high school drama. Meanwhile the other host just feels bad for Selma Blair and all parties involved, including our dear listeners.
