No More Late Fees

Two former Blockbuster employees. One 1997 sci-fi cult classic. And somehow, neither of them has ever seen it. Welcome to NO-VEMBER!Jackie and Danielle kick off their month of first-time movie watches with Starship Troopers (1997), Paul Verhoeven's bug-filled sci-fi satire starring Casper Van Dien, Denise Richards, Dina Meyer, and Neil Patrick Harris. But is this misunderstood '90s movie a brilliant political satire or just attractive people shooting giant alien insects?From Johnny Rico's embarrassing 35% math score to Dizzy's relentless pursuit of a man who clearly isn't interested, the ladies have questions. They're talking about Carmen's career-first attitude, the infamous coed shower scene, questionable military tactics, and CGI bugs that haven't exactly aged gracefully.Plus, they're diving into the film's fascist imagery, Nazi propaganda parallels, surprising casting possibilities, and behind-the-scenes stories. And seriously, why does everyone look 30 in high school?After nearly three decades of avoiding Starship Troopers, will Jackie and Danielle finally understand its cult-classic status, or wish they'd left it on the Blockbuster shelf? Their Ratings Rewind might surprise you, especially when they don't see eye to eye.Tune in for a nostalgic movie review filled with '90s pop culture, unexpected discoveries, and plenty of laughs.Follow No More Late Fees on Spotify and leave a rating to support your favorite former Blockbuster besties!·Season 6 Episode 21·—No More Late Fees ⁠https://nomorelatefeespodcast.com⁠909-601-NMLF (6653)—Follow Us on Social:Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/nomorelatefees TikTokhttps://www.tiktok.com/@nomorelatefees Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/nomorelatefeesYoutubehttps://www.youtube.com/@nomorelatefees Twitterhttps://x.com/NoMoreLateFees —CONQUERing⁠⁠myconquering.com⁠⁠10% Off Code: JACKIE10—DescriptCreator Plan 50% off 2 monthshttps://descript.cello.so/zp4OQqeIMdq—JerrBear’s Soap & Candle Companyhttps://shopjerrbearscompany.com?sca_ref=12655553.v157BgosUS2I42Rw —Mike & Mike SocialsMike and Mike Go to the Movies - https://twitter.com/MikeAndMikePodComplete Works Twitter - https://twitter.com/CompleteWrksPodMike S.

Would you survive The Blair Witch Project (1999), or would you be the first one sprinting out of the woods? Jackie and Danielle welcome back Jackie's brother Johnny for another spooky season adventure on No More Late Fees! This time, they're putting their horror movie survival instincts to the test with a game of "Keep Filming or Drop the Camera?" Because sometimes the scariest thing in a found footage horror movie isn't the witch. It's your friend destroying the only map.From creepy children giggling outside the tent to mysterious rock piles, missing friends, and bloody handprints in abandoned houses, the trio debates which Blair Witch scenarios deserve documentation and which require an immediate escape. They also assemble their ultimate Black Hills survival kits, featuring everything from satellite phones and holy water to salt-filled hula hoops. Would you risk your life to keep filming, or is some footage better left undiscovered? Grab your camcorder, tell us your three must-have survival items, and follow No More Late Fees on Spotify.

Was The Blair Witch Project (1999) actually terrifying, or did we all fall for the greatest marketing trick of the '90s? This week on No More Late Fees, Jackie and Danielle are joined by Jackie's brother Johnny to revisit the found-footage horror phenomenon starring Heather Donahue, Joshua Leonard, and Michael C. Williams. More than 25 years later, does this low-budget sensation still deliver the scares, or has time exposed a whole lot of wandering around the woods?From Heather's questionable leadership skills and Mike's disastrous map disposal to creepy stick figures and an alarming amount of shaky camera footage, the trio has plenty to unpack. They're digging into the movie's groundbreaking viral marketing, improvised performances, wild casting stories, and the filmmaking tactics that left the actors genuinely frightened and hungry. Plus, Jackie recalls seeing the movie before a camping trip, Danielle experiences the Blair Witch for the very first time, and Johnny reveals his enthusiasm for nighttime walks and spotting spider eyes. Apparently, some people enjoy being terrified recreationally.Did The Blair Witch Project deserve its legendary reputation, or is this one '90s horror movie better left in the woods?

Seven years lost in space, a spaceship straight out of hell, and Sam Neill making some deeply questionable decisions. What could possibly go wrong? This week on No More Late Fees, Jackie and Danielle revisit Event Horizon (1997), the cult sci-fi horror movie starring Laurence Fishburne and Sam Neill. Joining them are returning guests Mike and Mike from Mike and Mike Go to the Movies and The Complete Works. But does this '90s horror favorite deserve its cult classic status, or should it stay lost somewhere near Neptune?From a spaceship that looks like a medieval torture chamber to the infamous footage that was too disturbing for theaters, there's plenty to unpack. The crew debates Paul W.S. Anderson's filmmaking choices, Sam Neill's increasingly unhinged performance, and why nobody thought to question a hallway that resembles a meat grinder. Plus, Danielle tries to make sense of the disturbing visions, Jackie struggles with the science of bending space, and Mike and Mike explain why this bloody blend of Alien, Hellraiser, and The Shining is worth revisiting.With two first-time viewers and two longtime fans aboard, will Event Horizon earn a better rating in the Ratings Rewind, or is this one rescue mission nobody should have accepted? Tune in for a nostalgic movie review filled with '90s horror, Y2K nostalgia, and plenty of laughs.
