You might be coming here for giant snake-related horror, but you'll stay for Jon Voight's unhinged performance. 'Anaconda' is a B-movie creature feature at its very best, and it's no wonder it has gained a cult following over the years. When you're done with the episode, be sure to check us out on social @revengeof90spod and on Substack at revengeofthe90s.substack.com.
Cherry Falls is a 1999 slasher movie that never even saw a theatrical release in the United States - but it should have! Learn all about this virgin-killing extravaganza and be sure to add it to your spooky season watchlist. And when you're done with this episode, be sure to check us out on social @revengeof90spod and on Substack at revengeofthe90s.substack.com.
The annual Spooktacular is finally here! We're starting things off with 1993's 'Ticks,' which stars Seth Green and Alfonso Ribeiro as kids on a wilderness retreat with adults who actually seem quite bothered to be doing any of this. Oh yeah, and they all get attacked by some genetically enhanced wood ticks! Check us out on social @revengeof90spod too and on Substack at revengeofthe90s.substack.com.
With baseball's postseason upon us, we're talking about 1993's 'The Sandlot,' one of our favorite coming-of-age movies of the decade. Hear us wax poetic about the magic of baseball and being a kid in our latest episode, and then be sure to check us out on social @revengeof90spod and on Substack at https://revengeofthe90s.substack.com.
Here's the thing: All of the 'Alien' movies rock. And that includes 1997's 'Alien Resurrection,' which takes a lot of wild, bold swings and takes the franchise in some really fun directions considering the nearly impossible thing it was initially tasked with (i.e. bringing back a dead Ripley). Definitely give this one a rewatch - time has been kind to it. And be sure to check us out on social too @revengeof90spod.
In one of Michael Douglas' best roles, he plays a severely disgruntled defense worker who has become completely fed up with, well, society in general. Come see what's got William "D-Fens" Foster all bent out of shape and then be sure to check us out on social @revengeof90spod and on Substack at revengeofthe90s.substack.com.
This documentary starring Robert Downey, Jr. remains a prescient watch in modern times, along with being a great time capsule of a movie, providing an intimate glimpse into early 90s culture. You might have seen some clips of this movie floating around on social media, but the full documentary - shot during the 1992 Democratic National Convention - is worth the watch, especially during this election season. Catch this compelling 90s documentary, and then be sure to check us out on social @revengeof90spod and on Substack at revengeofthe90s.substack.com.
The River Wild is as good as '90s thrillers get, anchored by genuinely great nature action and typically fantastic performances from an absolutely stacked cast that included Meryl Streep, Kevin Bacon, David Strathairn, Joseph Mazzello, and John C. Reilly. Let's all enter the gauntlet together, and when we make it out the other end, catch us on social media @revengeof90spod and on Substack at revengeofthe90s.substack.com.
Is there anything better than a summer blockbuster? Obviously not, and there wasn't a better decade for summer blockbusters than the '90s, so we're going to rank some of our favorites from the decade. Quick disclaimer: We talk a little about our favorite movies of this summer, but this was recorded this before seeing the glory that is Twisters! Be sure to check us out on social @revengeof90spod and on Substack at revengeofthe90s.substack.com.
'Heavyweights' has become a true cult classic, but it's always been a showcase of Ben Stiller's immense talent. If you're like us, you had this VHS on repeat back in the day, marveling at the humor both then and now. It's a marvel this movie even exists, and it's not hyperbole to say it's honestly one of the funniest movies of the '90s. Don't be a negativity spreader - check out this episode! And when you're done here, be sure to check us out on social @revengeof90spod and on Substack at revengeofthe90s.substack.com.
With the release of 'Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F,' we take a look back at 1994's 'Beverly Hills Cop III,' a movie that got Eddie Murphy PAID but probably shouldn't exist. But even though it hardly seems like anyone wanted to be a part of it, there are some redeeming things about the original end of the Beverly Hills Cop series, movies that are true showcases for how Murphy can carry a project entirely through his talent alone. Catch us on social @revengeof90spod and on Substack at revengeofthe90s.substack.com.
Things are getting steamy here at Revenge of the '90s as we begin our journey through the saucy world of '90s erotic thrillers, starting with one of the best in 1992's Basic Instinct! Catch us on social @revengeof90spod and on Substack at revengeofthe90s.substack.com.
We should be sending all the Naked Gun movies into deep space in the hopes that is an alien civilization's first exposure to human culture. That probably tells you everything you need to know about how we feel about the series, and about Naked Gun 2 1/2: The Smell of Fear, which is the topic of this episode. Join us, and then hop on over to social and follow us @revengeof90spod. Also, catch us on Substack at revengeofthe90s.substack.com.
We needed to do this episode on 'The Phantom Menace' right, so we brought on the world's foremost authorities on all things Star Wars: the guys from the Rogue Squadron Podcast. Don't be bantha poodoo - check out our latest episode now! And be sure to check us out on Substack at revengeofthe90s.substack.com and on social media @revengeof90spod.
'Rush Hour' was Jackie Chan's big Hollywood introduction to American audiences, sparking an incredibly popular franchise and Chan's own meteoric rise over in the United States. And though some elements certainly don't hold up over time, the action and chemistry between Chan and Chris Tucker certainly do. Check us out on Substack at https://revengeofthe90s.substack.com/ and over on social media @revengeof90spod.
With 'The Phantom Menace' coming back to theaters to celebrate the movie's 25th anniversary, we asked ourselves: What 1999 movies would we like to see re-released in theaters this year? Also, we discuss what ended up being one of the most entertaining Academy Awards in years. Be sure to follow us on social @revengeof90spod or on Substack at https://revengeofthe90s.substack.com/.
We wanted to do 'Happy Gilmore' for a lot of reasons, and it felt like the right time given the need for a proper Carl Weathers tribute. Let's look back on his great career and what was truly one of the best comedies of the 1990s. Be sure to check us out on social too @revengeof90spod.
There's not much we can say to prepare you for 'Freaked,' a gloriously strange and truly hilarious movie with a singular vision that needs to be appreciated by a far wider audience (though you'd be forgiven for missing this one, since it was never really even released in the United States). Come for the episode, stay for some of the greatest practical effects ever put to film. And be sure to follow us on social @revengeof90spod!
It's Super Bowl week, so we're covering one of the premier Super Bowl films of the '90s in 1994's "Ace Ventura: Pet Detective," the movie that really put Jim Carrey on the map. This was the year that really catapulted Carrey to true stardom, and it all started with an incredibly bizarre premise that could have only been handled by a comedic force like him. Check us out on social while you're at it @revengeof90spod.
It's another crossover episode with the California Penal League this week, so you know what that means: It's baseball movie time. With spring training on the way, we turn on our eyes to America's pastime, and subsequently wish we could turn our eyes away from the trainwreck that is 1996's "Ed." Join us on this perilous journey and be sure to follow us on social @revengeof90spod!

You guys missed that this is an unofficial sequel for Coppola's The Conversation with Gene Hackman.
despite all the rewrites, toxic production/set and Fincher ultimately disavowing film... I blame that SOB Jon Landeau and, yes... Weaver. JL is the classic Studio suit who gets his jollies "overseeing" a troubled project. Weaver negotiated some contract thing where there would be no freaking guns used in the film. Both kiss Fincher's ass in the Quatrilogy docs but both of them should have been escorted, violently if necessary, off the set.
