Tim Burton and every 90s actor spoof 50s scifi films. Our host, zencastr, keeps eating these as I type them and now I'm too tired to make it interesting again. 

Mars Attacks!

Today we break down the most iconic 12 in fictional golf movies with writer/director Ron Shelton (Tin Cup, Bull Durham, White Men Can't Jump). We learn how this is secretly a western, how Costner didn't want to do it, and how much of it is based on a real PGA pro who's actually in the movie!

Tin Cup (with writer/director Ron Shelton)

Want to do heroin like a pro? Want to see lots of fecal matter flung about? Love thick scottish accents? THIS IS THE FILM FOR YOU.

The revolutionary and actually kinda amazingly well made movie is this week on Movielife Crisis. We don't know why either. 

Trainspotting

Robin Williams, Nathan Lane, Gene Hackman, with Hank Azaria and Calista Flockhart coming at you from The Birdcage. 

A wildly fun 90s comedy from the comedy duo Nichols and May that is still shockingly relevant today. This description is short and not good because zencastr failed 3x so I've re-written it a bunch and now I'm tired. 

The Birdcage

It's '96's top dark comedy from some of the funniest people in Hollywood. Jim Carrey, Ben Stiller, Judd Apatow, Jack Black, Matthew Broderick, Leslie Mann, Janeane Garofalo, David Cross, and more!

And yet it's mysteriously not that funny somehow. Come help us figure out how that happened!

The Cable Guy

An all-time underrated Rom Com from two of the greats: George "ER" Clooney and Michelle "Catwoman" Pfeiffer. This movie is beautifully written and directed and hits extra hard if you've got young kids, because those little a-holes will really jam up your free time. 😂

One Fine Day

Geena Davis (Chefs do that!) with Samuel L. Jackson in the action/spy/thriller/comedy from Shane Black (Lethal Weapon) and Renny Harlin (Die Hard 2).

Incredible dialogue and soundtrack from this nearly forgotten 90s movie, plus a weirdly complicated plot. 

The Long Kiss Goodnight

Larry Miller, Jada Pinkett, and seven Eddie Murphys + the director of Ace Ventura equals the biggest comedy of 1996. 

Sit down, Jerry Lewis, it's Eddie Murphy. Hercules, Hercules, Hercules!

The Nutty Professor

Helen Hunt, Bill Paxton, and an incredible ensemble cast including Philip Seymour Hoffman, Cary Elwes, Alan Ruck, and more.

The movie that put flying CGI cows on the map, from the director of Speed (Jan De Bont). It's '96, let's go.
