WEBVTT

00:02.740 --> 00:04.500
[SPEAKER_00]: Hi, and Megan, and I'm Sarah.

00:04.641 --> 00:09.442
[SPEAKER_01]: We're two women in our 40s who live in different states and have a lot of different interests between us.

00:10.042 --> 00:15.183
[SPEAKER_00]: On this show, we talk about all the midlife lady leisure pursuits we're enjoying at this stage of life.

00:15.403 --> 00:19.044
[SPEAKER_00]: Like travel, hobbies, food, wellness, style, and more.

00:19.745 --> 00:25.526
[SPEAKER_01]: Megan, I am so excited to talk today about movies from the 90s, our formative years.

00:25.626 --> 00:30.748
[SPEAKER_01]: I have so many thoughts, so many formative films in here to talk about, and so much nostalgia

00:32.241 --> 00:33.542
[SPEAKER_00]: yeah, I can't wait for this.

00:34.263 --> 00:40.247
[SPEAKER_00]: Today's episode is brought to you by our exclusive season sponsor in a longtime partner of ours, Vionic Shoes.

00:40.728 --> 00:44.551
[SPEAKER_00]: Sarah, I'm heading on a two week road trip with Clara very soon.

[SPEAKER_00]: I will definitely share about it when I get back.

00:46.933 --> 00:53.718
[SPEAKER_00]: But I'm realizing that my shoe packing is going to be so easy on this trip and that's all because of Vionic.

00:54.158 --> 01:04.090
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to need some different styles for lots of different occasions, it's a long trip, but because all of my vionic shoes are so comfy, I really only need one of each type of shoe.

01:04.490 --> 01:11.418
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm definitely going to have my uptown loafer, my walk slim glides sneaker, and my new uptown sneakers on rotation.

[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, thank you so much to vionic for sponsoring this episode.

01:28.201 --> 01:30.242
[SPEAKER_00]: And boy Megan, we have a lot to get to.

01:30.402 --> 01:32.302
[SPEAKER_00]: So we have to start right away.

01:33.142 --> 01:36.823
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, first, let's just orient ourselves in time and space.

01:41.144 --> 01:48.431
[SPEAKER_01]: 10 to 19 from 1990 to 1999 and for you, I believe it would be like 13 to 22.

01:48.571 --> 01:49.312
[SPEAKER_01]: Does that?

01:49.352 --> 01:50.733
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, like you read about that.

01:50.793 --> 01:50.973
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

01:51.033 --> 01:51.374
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

01:51.474 --> 01:51.634
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.

01:52.074 --> 02:01.043
[SPEAKER_01]: So not surprisingly, now that we're in our mid to late 40s, we look back with much nostalgia on the movies of our youth.

02:01.823 --> 02:07.088
[SPEAKER_01]: But in particular for me, I think a year or two ago as my kids became teenagers.

02:08.229 --> 02:11.111
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, we wanted to show them movies from our youth.

02:11.131 --> 02:15.513
[SPEAKER_01]: There's a lot of great movies from the 80s, too, more of like what I would think of as like my childhood movies.

02:16.033 --> 02:22.637
[SPEAKER_01]: But something started to happen when my kids got old enough to watch the movies that I watched as a teenager.

02:23.157 --> 02:29.801
[SPEAKER_01]: So not children's or family programming, but the PG13 and even our rated movies of my teenage dumb.

02:30.352 --> 02:41.956
[SPEAKER_01]: starting to show them to my own kids and last summer, we got like, we just sort of became intentional about it and like doubled down on some 90s movie rewatches as a family and it was so much fun.

02:42.517 --> 02:51.480
[SPEAKER_01]: My husband also, you know, we're about the same age and also loved movies as a teenager, but he, his like favorite movies are different than my favorite movies than we have some overlap.

02:51.800 --> 02:58.381
[SPEAKER_01]: And we have some movies that we watched together, like as a young couple, maybe in the odds, but they were from the night, if that makes sense.

02:58.401 --> 03:03.782
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, when we got together in our 20s, we were still renting nine movies, favorite 90s, right?

03:03.802 --> 03:04.943
[SPEAKER_00]: So we're that old at that time.

03:04.963 --> 03:05.643
[SPEAKER_00]: No, exactly.

03:05.663 --> 03:07.303
[SPEAKER_01]: They were just what was in the blockbuster.

03:07.363 --> 03:16.465
[SPEAKER_01]: And so I feel like in the last year or two, it really has become a leisure pursuit, if you will, to think about the movies,

03:17.016 --> 03:23.562
[SPEAKER_01]: that of my youth and then to show them to my kids, or just to rewatch them for my own pleasure.

03:23.722 --> 03:26.565
[SPEAKER_01]: So that's how I'm coming into this conversation.

03:26.585 --> 03:31.569
[SPEAKER_01]: And we are gonna go year by year and chat about some specific movies that are fun to rewatch.

03:31.609 --> 03:34.312
[SPEAKER_01]: But maybe just like, how do you feel about all this?

03:34.839 --> 03:36.441
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, the 90s were a big decade for me.

03:36.561 --> 03:44.910
[SPEAKER_00]: So I started off the 90s as a young teenager, and that would have been when I was like at the little video store in our town, not even a blockbuster.

03:44.930 --> 03:46.572
[SPEAKER_00]: It was like home town, literally called home.

03:46.612 --> 03:48.574
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh yeah, I didn't go to a blockbuster at the college.

03:48.754 --> 03:53.620
[SPEAKER_01]: For the record, I had a small town tiny video store that was a little boy owned.

03:53.760 --> 03:53.920
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

03:54.180 --> 03:56.621
[SPEAKER_00]: And I would go down there with my friends on a weekend.

03:56.641 --> 04:00.782
[SPEAKER_00]: This was before anyone had a license and we would pick out.

04:00.862 --> 04:06.184
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not even sure at this point if I was old enough that my parents would have driven me and dropped me off with the movies very often.

04:06.284 --> 04:14.167
[SPEAKER_00]: I was still allowed to, if I was at the group, but it just, it didn't happen a ton when I was in 1990.

04:14.267 --> 04:18.428
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's say that would have definitely been renting VHS tapes.

04:20.310 --> 04:26.678
[SPEAKER_00]: And then going into my middle teen years, like more like 15, 16, 17, where I was at the movie theater.

04:27.193 --> 04:27.973
[SPEAKER_00]: a lot.

04:28.093 --> 04:28.493
[SPEAKER_00]: Me too.

04:28.693 --> 04:29.013
[SPEAKER_00]: Me too.

04:29.314 --> 04:30.334
[SPEAKER_00]: All the time.

04:30.854 --> 04:35.495
[SPEAKER_00]: And then at the end of the 90s, I, well, I went to college and then I started having kids.

04:35.595 --> 04:47.398
[SPEAKER_00]: And so the last couple of years of the 90s were really back to videos like back to rentals because that was a way you could enjoy yourself and feel like an adult after the baby went to sleep.

04:47.458 --> 04:55.720
[SPEAKER_00]: So I can almost, as I was going through this list of movies, I could almost feel the different places I was in my life.

04:56.620 --> 05:09.591
[SPEAKER_00]: As certain movies got on my radar, and there's also a different way you feel about the movies that become Classics in your home that you rewatch all the time and there are plenty of those movies from the 90s But that's a really different feeling from those ones that are like frozen in time for you.

05:09.691 --> 05:16.357
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, where it's like this just totally represents where I was at that stage of my life So I think this is gonna be really fun

05:17.138 --> 05:31.977
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm so glad you brought that up about watching on VHS at home and going to the video store versus movie theater, because I also have memories of both, but I will say when I was looking back at these lists, it's the movie theater experiences that are so

05:32.878 --> 05:34.219
[SPEAKER_01]: clear in my memory.

05:34.319 --> 05:38.260
[SPEAKER_01]: I really can remember which theater who I was with.

05:38.280 --> 05:38.720
[SPEAKER_01]: Me too.

05:38.900 --> 05:41.721
[SPEAKER_01]: Was it a boyfriend, a new boyfriend?

05:41.981 --> 05:42.582
[SPEAKER_01]: Yep.

05:42.722 --> 05:45.023
[SPEAKER_01]: Was it like in the summer off in movies?

05:45.063 --> 05:51.225
[SPEAKER_01]: Do come out in the summer and I, you know, I live in the town I grew up in after being away for more than 20 years.

05:51.285 --> 05:54.066
[SPEAKER_01]: So the movie theaters are still in this town.

05:54.146 --> 05:56.947
[SPEAKER_01]: Like I could still go to the movie theaters where I saw some of these movies.

05:57.007 --> 05:58.788
[SPEAKER_01]: And so anyway, there's a real wild kind of

05:59.588 --> 06:08.490
[SPEAKER_01]: that it's like a real place-based memory in a lot of ways and then and then I'll just add one more viewing option and that is when they used to replay movies on TV.

06:09.150 --> 06:22.953
[SPEAKER_01]: So some of these movies I saw in the theater but then when they'd come back on TV you'd be like well I have to watch my cousin Vinnie I'll stop anything to watch my cousin Vinnie and it's on TV and then they'd like bleep out the swear word so that was like a whole another way that you would get to

06:23.753 --> 06:26.816
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know, rewatch your favorite movies, and that doesn't happen anymore.

06:26.996 --> 06:27.256
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.

06:27.616 --> 06:28.017
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

06:28.057 --> 06:28.517
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

06:29.218 --> 06:29.438
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.

06:29.458 --> 06:37.625
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, we talked for a very long time off of the podcast about how to structure this episode without making it just us talking for 10 hours about 90s movies.

06:38.105 --> 06:39.586
[SPEAKER_01]: So I did come up with a structure.

06:40.107 --> 06:44.571
[SPEAKER_01]: We do have a handy website I found called boxoffismojo.com.

06:45.071 --> 06:46.753
[SPEAKER_01]: And we have gone through year by year.

06:47.033 --> 06:51.777
[SPEAKER_01]: And we're just, we're each going to pick a movie or maybe it's two or three if we just couldn't choose.

06:52.313 --> 06:55.414
[SPEAKER_01]: that we have rewatched or would like to rewatch.

06:55.474 --> 07:04.017
[SPEAKER_01]: Because this, we're really focusing this on like, which of these 90s movies not necessarily hold up because some of them probably don't hold up, but would we want to watch again?

07:04.077 --> 07:14.400
[SPEAKER_01]: There are plenty where we enjoyed them at the time and then they can just stay in the 90s where they belong, but we're gonna talk about the ones where they feel like an nostalgic rewatch would be fun or has been fun.

07:14.940 --> 07:17.123
[SPEAKER_01]: So that's that's the framing for today.

07:17.183 --> 07:26.612
[SPEAKER_01]: I think we should dive in with the year 1990 when I was 10 and you were 13 and here we go many wonderful films from the year 1990

07:28.215 --> 07:37.103
[SPEAKER_01]: I will just shout out that number one on the on the gross revenue was home alone, which is a great rewatch film, but not the one I picked.

07:37.123 --> 07:38.485
[SPEAKER_01]: We do watch that almost every year.

07:38.605 --> 07:40.907
[SPEAKER_00]: That's what I didn't include that because it's like we already.

07:40.987 --> 07:48.655
[SPEAKER_01]: It's so in the rotation and, you know, it's almost not a nostalgic movie because everybody watches it every year on home on Christmas.

07:49.595 --> 07:56.520
[SPEAKER_01]: But I picked pretty women, which I would have been too young to see in the theater when it came out.

07:56.540 --> 08:04.305
[SPEAKER_01]: But somehow by the time I was 12, 13, 14, 15, it was so many people's favorite movie that I had.

08:05.165 --> 08:08.407
[SPEAKER_01]: It made its way to me, but probably not in the year 1990.

08:08.447 --> 08:09.568
[SPEAKER_01]: But I picked it because,

08:10.128 --> 08:17.411
[SPEAKER_01]: I think it's an incredible rewatch, I think it has endured for a reason and I would put that on today.

08:17.691 --> 08:20.733
[SPEAKER_01]: Like with my kids, with my family, for myself.

08:20.773 --> 08:24.794
[SPEAKER_01]: So that just feels like a great rewatch from the great year of 1990.

08:25.174 --> 08:27.475
[SPEAKER_00]: And are there lines in it that we'll always stick out to you?

08:28.556 --> 08:29.776
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh my gosh.

08:30.397 --> 08:32.958
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, but I'm actually picturing visuals more than lines.

08:33.218 --> 08:34.938
[SPEAKER_01]: Like the the lobster

08:39.302 --> 08:52.913
[SPEAKER_01]: the outfits, the hotel room, I'm such a visual person so I can picture that hotel room and the bathtub and the room service and the patio so like to me I'm getting so many more visuals than lines but I'm sure those are.

08:52.973 --> 08:58.458
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's one that I have re-watched casually like the way you re-watch and movie when it's on

08:59.338 --> 09:00.298
[SPEAKER_00]: And you're in a hotel room.

09:00.638 --> 09:01.899
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and it's like on cable.

09:01.919 --> 09:05.180
[SPEAKER_00]: So there's gonna be a million or you know network TV So there's a million commercials.

09:05.380 --> 09:07.720
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, like that's been my rewatch experience.

09:07.760 --> 09:22.744
[SPEAKER_00]: I do think it would be fun to rewatch that and the movie I chose was ghost and ghost and pretty women pretty women are very tied up together in my head because I moved in 1990 So I turned 13 the summer of 1990 and I moved in spring

09:26.419 --> 09:31.820
[SPEAKER_00]: of 1990 to a totally different town, like a different part of the state.

09:31.880 --> 09:36.441
[SPEAKER_00]: And I know that I watched both ghost and pretty woman with my next or neighbor, Bobby Joe.

09:37.102 --> 09:37.942
[SPEAKER_00]: So I would have been 12.

09:38.282 --> 09:47.504
[SPEAKER_00]: Like I remember, she also, she lived in like a foster home with a whole bunch of teenage teenagers, many of them from troubled backgrounds.

09:47.684 --> 09:50.545
[SPEAKER_00]: And so I was exposed to things in that house that, yeah.

09:51.645 --> 10:10.784
[SPEAKER_00]: my mom would that have been happy about and many of them were movies and honestly pretty woman and ghost were pretty pretty light like pretty mild compared to some of the show time later content I watched over there but I have such clear memories I could remember her sofa it was like one of those

10:11.517 --> 10:18.559
[SPEAKER_00]: plushy over stuffed brown, quarter-rise sofas, like the kind that kind of wraps the sectional, you know, kind of wraps around the corner.

10:18.979 --> 10:19.939
[SPEAKER_00]: I had a couple of others.

10:21.239 --> 10:30.502
[SPEAKER_00]: I remember sitting in her living room watching both pretty woman and ghost, and I don't believe I have ever seen ghost again, since the 90s.

10:30.942 --> 10:34.463
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think I've maybe watched it more than once, but not like 20 times.

10:35.195 --> 10:50.663
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I probably saw it like five times as a teenager and then never again and I don't know that I would care to watch it for its own sake, but I think as an nostalgia watch absolutely and there's one line and it's Molly you and danger girl that line will

10:51.183 --> 10:58.529
[SPEAKER_00]: Like it's like embedded somewhere in my brain and that's when we'll be Goldberg Is figuring out like through her medium.

10:58.549 --> 11:06.335
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, I can't exactly remember how this went out the magic word either But she realizes that the dimmy more character is being pursued.

11:06.775 --> 11:07.056
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.

11:07.236 --> 11:07.796
[SPEAKER_00]: Bye at that guy

11:09.037 --> 11:19.246
[SPEAKER_00]: And so anyway she figures it out like I don't really remember much else about that movie except that there was that scene with the Potters with pottery and the righteous brothers unchained melody.

11:19.346 --> 11:24.370
[SPEAKER_01]: I loved that song and I think that song had a resurgent It because I absolutely had it.

11:24.410 --> 11:27.493
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and so by like nine well, no, probably in 91.

11:28.193 --> 11:30.315
[SPEAKER_01]: I remember I mean, I never had

11:30.869 --> 11:38.074
[SPEAKER_01]: taste and music that was concurrent with my peers, but I, that one was really off the mark, and I loved that song when I was 11 or 12.

11:38.354 --> 11:38.874
[SPEAKER_01]: So good.

11:39.154 --> 11:39.315
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

11:39.635 --> 11:39.875
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

11:40.155 --> 11:41.176
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, shall we move on to 91?

11:41.276 --> 11:42.597
[SPEAKER_00]: Because I have a couple to hit here.

11:42.797 --> 11:43.037
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.

11:43.137 --> 11:47.600
[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm just going to quickly rattle off to, or one, father of the bride.

11:47.620 --> 11:52.083
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, that is a pretty regular like maybe every five years rewatch for me.

11:52.123 --> 11:52.243
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

11:52.283 --> 11:57.146
[SPEAKER_00]: So it doesn't have that nostalgia factor the way maybe a movie that I haven't seen would be.

11:57.186 --> 11:58.287
[SPEAKER_00]: But it's, it's solid.

11:58.407 --> 11:58.707
[SPEAKER_00]: It holds

11:59.828 --> 12:17.837
[SPEAKER_00]: um i tried to watch city slickers with which i remember watching with my dad a lot in the 90s that was one of those that we would re-rent again and i tried to watch that with my kids and was like oh my gosh this is very inappropriate i don't remember being embarrassed watching this with my dad so either they sent me out of the room

12:19.198 --> 12:23.202
[SPEAKER_00]: I think it was one of those where there's like a sex scene like really early on between the adults.

12:23.522 --> 12:29.127
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, and that my dad's moved would have been to send me out to do something, uh-huh, until after that.

12:29.187 --> 12:32.370
[SPEAKER_00]: So anyway, but the one I really want to talk about was hot shots.

12:32.891 --> 12:33.871
[SPEAKER_00]: It was Charlie Sheen.

12:34.112 --> 12:37.815
[SPEAKER_01]: I've never seen this movie so this is I love that we have different frameworks here.

12:38.167 --> 12:42.030
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, it's kind of a parody of like top gun.

12:43.010 --> 12:46.333
[SPEAKER_01]: I would say the cover image looked like that's what you're doing.

12:46.533 --> 12:54.838
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it's goofy and it's right in line with the kind of goofy humor that the 90s had a lot of like the late 80s early 90s.

12:55.599 --> 13:00.362
[SPEAKER_00]: Like less the guy from the naked gun was in it and there's less lenial.

13:01.623 --> 13:07.408
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, there was a lot of actors where you'd be like, oh yeah, that guy, I know him, but it was just stupid.

13:07.428 --> 13:17.256
[SPEAKER_00]: Like one liner after one liner after goof after, you know, slapstick, but I just remember thinking it was so funny and I probably watched it 25 times.

13:17.316 --> 13:19.898
[SPEAKER_00]: Like just rented it over and over again throughout the 90s.

13:20.499 --> 13:26.924
[SPEAKER_00]: So that's the one that to me is probably the most nostalgic because I probably haven't seen it now in 35 years.

13:28.322 --> 13:28.742
[SPEAKER_01]: I love that.

13:28.762 --> 13:30.724
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, I think maybe you need to rewatch.

13:31.084 --> 13:31.485
[SPEAKER_01]: I agree.

13:31.985 --> 13:32.625
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.

13:32.645 --> 13:41.132
[SPEAKER_01]: I picked beauty in the beast actually Disney's animated beauty in the beast because in the first couple of years of the 90s, I was very much still a child 10 11.

13:42.233 --> 13:44.795
[SPEAKER_01]: And as you recall, we had.

13:45.235 --> 13:56.137
[SPEAKER_01]: Little mermaid, then beauty in the beast, then Aladdin, then Lion King, and those pretty much back-to-back years and I think They hit right at the end of my childhood.

13:56.237 --> 14:01.438
[SPEAKER_01]: I also was getting into Musicals at least as a listening to musicals.

14:01.478 --> 14:08.700
[SPEAKER_01]: I wasn't ever like an actor in musicals, but something about those movie musicals Disney had real like quality

14:09.227 --> 14:22.593
[SPEAKER_00]: Like song and dance numbers and so they had a list of like a year after year like starting with a little mermaid yep it was like a little mermaid beating the beast Aladdin Lion King like right boom boom boom boom Yeah, right in a row.

14:22.773 --> 14:27.615
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, so Beauty in the beast I mean of course I would have seen it in the theater.

14:27.695 --> 14:35.858
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think I felt I was too Oh, I just I wasn't quite too old for this stuff yet in another year by the time we get to 92 93 I'm probably not like

14:36.498 --> 14:40.921
[SPEAKER_01]: shouting from the rooftops that I love the soundtrack to the latest Disney film but I did.

14:41.021 --> 14:44.984
[SPEAKER_01]: I was still there and I just I know every beat of that movie.

14:45.984 --> 15:02.335
[SPEAKER_01]: It is and then you know obviously we both had kids and we've shown our kids Disney classes but I just will say like the the list for 1991 is great as with many of these years so we're only mentioning a few but folks look at like the the movies that came out year after year and the 90s are just great.

15:02.535 --> 15:03.316
[SPEAKER_01]: Fuck.

15:03.896 --> 15:05.057
[SPEAKER_01]: I love it's a great one, yes.

15:06.198 --> 15:22.811
[SPEAKER_00]: I will say that I didn't feel too old for Disney movies, like I have a very specific memory of going to see the Lion King, which was 93, with Missy in the movies and thinking, oh no, we're too old to enjoy this unironically, and that was kind of a come down.

15:23.272 --> 15:26.855
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I think it was after those four, after, um,

15:27.969 --> 15:31.290
[SPEAKER_01]: Little mermaid, beauty in the beast, Aladdin Lion King.

15:32.570 --> 15:34.690
[SPEAKER_01]: Right after that was Poko Honest, which didn't do as well.

15:34.710 --> 15:36.391
[SPEAKER_01]: And I remember I saw that with a boyfriend.

15:36.531 --> 15:38.851
[SPEAKER_01]: And thinking the same thing, being like, oh wow.

15:38.991 --> 15:41.912
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, this is like, at the era of my child.

15:42.232 --> 15:42.432
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.

15:42.492 --> 15:43.052
[SPEAKER_01]: It's over.

15:43.412 --> 15:43.752
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

15:45.013 --> 15:52.574
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, we have to move on to, I'm gonna say this several times that this might be my favorite ear in movies, but I think it's gonna happen like three times.

15:52.634 --> 15:54.375
[SPEAKER_01]: But one of my favorite ear in movies has to be 1992.

15:56.755 --> 15:58.858
[SPEAKER_01]: I had it three, but I'll actually eliminate one.

15:59.018 --> 16:03.803
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to eliminate a league of their own even though we did just rewatch it like last weekend and it was great.

16:04.704 --> 16:15.595
[SPEAKER_01]: But two of my favorite movies of all time and all decades are a few good men and my cousin Vinnie and they have two very different movies, a sorkin legal drama and

16:17.328 --> 16:19.009
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know what you even call my cousin Vinnie.

16:19.069 --> 16:20.110
[SPEAKER_01]: It's a perfect comedy.

16:20.290 --> 16:28.538
[SPEAKER_01]: It's actually if you can get past F bombs It's actually incredibly kid appropriate So there are there is swearing, but there's no sex.

16:28.598 --> 16:29.338
[SPEAKER_01]: There's no drugs.

16:29.358 --> 16:30.379
[SPEAKER_01]: There's no violence.

16:30.499 --> 16:37.806
[SPEAKER_01]: It is about a crime and a courtroom But I was shocked it out how actually accessible and funny it is for like

16:38.466 --> 17:00.123
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know young young pre-teens if you're okay with the language or if you but whatever Yeah, how do you feel about that but those are two of my favorite movies of all time and I will rewatch them any day of the week And twice on Sunday a few good men and my cousin Vinnie and the list for 92 is so good There's so many other there's so many absolute bangers and so many that I have rewatch rewatch rewatched rewatched in 92

17:01.083 --> 17:03.624
[SPEAKER_00]: So I kind of went a little bit in a different direction with mine.

17:03.644 --> 17:07.305
[SPEAKER_00]: Like yes, I could talk about a lad in a Wayne's world or whatever, but obviously, right?

17:07.526 --> 17:07.986
[SPEAKER_01]: I know.

17:08.146 --> 17:08.586
[SPEAKER_01]: Wayne's world.

17:08.666 --> 17:15.649
[SPEAKER_00]: The ones I'm going to talk about are quickly boomerang and the bodyguard because of the soundtracks.

17:15.689 --> 17:16.809
[SPEAKER_01]: Wait, what's boomerang?

17:17.009 --> 17:26.133
[SPEAKER_00]: Boomerang was an eddy Murphy movie and it had the PM Dawn song that with that too, which maybe wasn't even on your radar yet.

17:26.293 --> 17:26.833
[SPEAKER_01]: Probably not.

17:26.993 --> 17:27.213
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

17:27.688 --> 17:31.671
[SPEAKER_00]: But I think I must have had the CD to that, or something.

17:31.751 --> 17:37.596
[SPEAKER_00]: I remember being very aware of all the songs in that movie, but not really remembering the movie at all.

17:37.676 --> 17:41.720
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, soundtracks were such a soundtracks where my favorite CD is in the 90s.

17:42.120 --> 17:50.407
[SPEAKER_01]: And again, it wasn't super clued into the latest bands or trends, so soundtracks were an easy way for me to feel like I was listening to music.

17:50.922 --> 18:01.524
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, and 92 would have been when I was on the cusp of between 14 and 15, and I think it was when I became really aware of soundtracks and how they tied into popular music.

18:01.564 --> 18:10.707
[SPEAKER_00]: Like there was something going on in my little teenage brain that was like, oh, yeah, so there's this movie, and then there's this music that goes with the movie, and I like the music.

18:10.727 --> 18:12.087
[SPEAKER_00]: So I kind of want to like the movie.

18:12.427 --> 18:17.048
[SPEAKER_00]: The bodyguard with Whitney Houston and Kevin Costner was also the soundtrack.

18:17.667 --> 18:45.515
[SPEAKER_00]: that I will always love you and a couple other of her hits I believe like I have nothing was on there I think I just had the single is that possible what I've gotten like a single cassette tape maybe I definitely had that I will always love you but I feel like I may be owned a single it's it's yeah you could have owned a single yeah yeah you could have owned a single why not right I'm just thinking like what other songs were on that soundtrack first of all it's it's not a very good movie

18:47.422 --> 18:51.505
[SPEAKER_00]: I have rewatched it, the movie itself, it's fine.

18:51.545 --> 18:57.008
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a little corny, like she's a star, he's her bodyguard, I think I've seen it a couple of times.

18:57.189 --> 18:58.409
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yeah.

18:58.630 --> 19:01.311
[SPEAKER_00]: But the soundtrack is just bang or after bang or so.

19:01.512 --> 19:08.456
[SPEAKER_00]: I would want to watch it just for that feeling that I had at that age when I watched movies that I thought were very romantic.

19:08.696 --> 19:09.277
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes.

19:09.297 --> 19:09.977
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, yeah.

19:10.618 --> 19:14.941
[SPEAKER_00]: And then I just want to bring up the quick, honorable mention to the movie The Crying Game.

19:14.981 --> 19:16.682
[SPEAKER_00]: Do you remember anything about that movie?

19:17.230 --> 19:27.235
[SPEAKER_01]: I just remember the name of it and this is also probably when I started paying attention to Academy Awards, which is an entirely other episode of this podcast, but I remember it winning a lot of awards, right?

19:27.315 --> 19:27.635
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.

19:27.815 --> 19:28.596
[SPEAKER_01]: Think I've seen it.

19:29.977 --> 19:32.258
[SPEAKER_00]: I honestly doubt a hundred percent sure I ever saw it either.

19:32.458 --> 19:43.844
[SPEAKER_00]: What I remember about it, what I think is so interesting about it now, was a crime like a crime movie thriller and I believe there was maybe some gender issues in it.

19:44.684 --> 20:11.597
[SPEAKER_00]: that I don't even honestly remember sometimes when you go back and watch movies like that that were written or made so long ago it's like a little cringey because you're like oh this was never fly today or like this is what we thought was so shocking then or whatever but there was a boy George song that came out from the crying game movie called the crying game that was on the radio constantly during that time and so I would it's like a trio of movies

20:12.397 --> 20:18.319
[SPEAKER_00]: that really it's about the songs for me, but I'd like to rewatch the movies just to hear those songs like in context.

20:18.759 --> 20:21.640
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, no, I think that makes total sense.

20:22.020 --> 20:22.600
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

20:22.720 --> 20:27.481
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm also noting that my 92 picks, I'm still barely 12.

20:27.621 --> 20:33.763
[SPEAKER_01]: And so I think I probably saw them a little bit later and they became my favorite movies.

20:33.883 --> 20:37.884
[SPEAKER_01]: I bet you anything that when I was actually 12, I was not.

20:38.422 --> 20:41.063
[SPEAKER_01]: quite ready for either of those movies.

20:41.163 --> 20:44.505
[SPEAKER_01]: So I'm just noticing that about my own picks here.

20:44.945 --> 20:49.107
[SPEAKER_01]: It was probably 15-year-old Sarah who had developed a taste for 1992 movies.

20:49.127 --> 20:49.568
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, yeah.

20:49.588 --> 20:50.568
[SPEAKER_01]: OK, so take us to 1993.

20:50.588 --> 20:52.709
[SPEAKER_01]: So in 1993, I am 15 going on 16, or you know?

20:52.729 --> 20:52.829
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.

20:52.849 --> 20:53.110
[SPEAKER_01]: 15 and 16.

20:53.130 --> 20:53.670
[SPEAKER_01]: I straddle that age.

21:04.315 --> 21:12.424
[SPEAKER_00]: And the ground hug day, I mean, I watched that all the time, you know, Tombstone, we watched pretty regularly now.

21:12.945 --> 21:17.230
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to share about seeing the movie alive on my first real date.

21:18.411 --> 21:20.153
[SPEAKER_00]: So I was not allowed to date.

21:20.493 --> 21:21.855
[SPEAKER_00]: So I would have been 15 at this time.

21:21.875 --> 21:23.116
[SPEAKER_00]: I was not allowed to date until I was 16.

21:24.557 --> 21:44.265
[SPEAKER_00]: And I went on a date, I sneaked on a date, just see the movie alive, and had to go through the most convoluted cover-up, which now that I think about it was completely unnecessary because my parents never checked on me, and no way did my dad suspect that I was out on a date.

21:44.365 --> 21:50.428
[SPEAKER_00]: It was like a seven o'clock movie, I'm probably a Tuesday or something, and it was that movie where the plane

21:51.068 --> 21:54.311
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like a boy's team is something they're young men.

21:54.391 --> 22:00.036
[SPEAKER_00]: I can't but there's some kind of athletic team and their plane goes down And they have to survive and like one of them get eaten.

22:00.696 --> 22:01.097
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, okay.

22:01.237 --> 22:03.519
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I don't I kind of have any I don't know.

22:03.719 --> 22:05.220
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think I have any memories of this movie.

22:05.240 --> 22:16.529
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, I remember very little because I was so anxious about being on this illicit date And I got up at one point and went and called my friend like I had to use the pay phone.

22:16.629 --> 22:17.610
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, it wasn't even a pay phone.

22:17.650 --> 22:18.351
[SPEAKER_00]: It was like a little

22:19.131 --> 22:39.281
[SPEAKER_00]: phone on a desk that you put a quarter in a box so it wasn't even a true pay phone it was like the movie theaters phone that you could use and I made a phone call to my friend Heather to see if my dad had checked in on me because that's where I was supposed to go and you did that in the middle of the movie in the middle of the movie

22:39.541 --> 22:41.402
[SPEAKER_01]: Did you like the boy you were on a date with?

22:41.462 --> 22:46.845
[SPEAKER_01]: Like were you glad to be on the date or did you somehow feel like, had you said yes, like, for some of the reasons?

22:47.026 --> 22:48.046
[SPEAKER_00]: I didn't really care.

22:48.186 --> 22:50.848
[SPEAKER_00]: Like I liked that I liked that I was asking about a date.

22:51.248 --> 22:52.429
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, you know what I mean?

22:52.449 --> 22:53.550
[SPEAKER_00]: And I didn't really go anywhere.

22:53.610 --> 22:58.212
[SPEAKER_00]: And it was underwhelming as dates go.

22:59.093 --> 23:06.437
[SPEAKER_00]: As so many of those experiences you have as a teenager are they wind up being, you know, your first date, your first kiss, all these things, you're just like,

23:07.958 --> 23:09.720
[SPEAKER_00]: But that's what I'll always remember about that.

23:09.760 --> 23:11.743
[SPEAKER_00]: And it just tells you where I was in my life.

23:11.803 --> 23:22.477
[SPEAKER_00]: I was like on the cusp of being like a real teenager, but I just was still like I couldn't drive and I couldn't date and I was sneaking around but for no good reason.

23:23.478 --> 23:32.463
[SPEAKER_01]: And feeling conflicted about it, which often is how growing up works is your like doing this new thing you're ready for and you're also feeling weird and bad about it.

23:32.483 --> 23:34.344
[SPEAKER_01]: That's kind of like that natural tension.

23:34.624 --> 23:34.804
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

23:34.884 --> 23:35.044
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

23:35.284 --> 23:35.565
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

23:35.585 --> 23:35.705
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

23:36.345 --> 23:38.066
[SPEAKER_00]: What about you, Paul is 93 like for you.

23:38.758 --> 23:42.601
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, 93, I'm 13, so I can actually go to PG-13 movies.

23:42.661 --> 23:47.044
[SPEAKER_01]: But I'm actually, I'm going to frame this as rewatching again because there's so many good movies came out.

23:47.084 --> 24:04.537
[SPEAKER_01]: But the ones I have rewatched and loved, I'm going to say to the fugitive and Jurassic Park, and what I think is interesting about these is in present day Sarah, midlife lady Sarah, does not care for big monster franchises, does not care for action thriller movies.

24:06.242 --> 24:10.848
[SPEAKER_01]: But something about these two felt, first of all, I think they're both really, really well made movies.

24:10.948 --> 24:13.211
[SPEAKER_01]: The original Jurassic Park is such a good movie.

24:13.291 --> 24:18.217
[SPEAKER_01]: It's so scary, but it's also funny and the music is fantastic in the end.

24:18.257 --> 24:19.979
[SPEAKER_00]: I would rewatch that movie over and over.

24:20.119 --> 24:23.323
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, I highly recommend an original Jurassic Park.

24:23.956 --> 24:41.347
[SPEAKER_01]: rewatch even if you don't care for the rest of the franchise that's not your genre I love it so much I could I probably watched rewatch Jurassic Park like every couple of years and I'm always like this is such a good movie And then the fugitive I weirdly had a crush on Tommy Lee Jones in the fugitive when I was like 13 and he was 50

24:42.467 --> 25:00.014
[SPEAKER_01]: And he, I loved the kind of cat and mouse that it's very like Le Mis, like this is the cop good or bad is the guy on the run good or bad like what's the relationship between the two and we rewatch the fugitive last summer when we were like really going through our 90s classics and my son readwatched it with us and it's a great movie.

25:00.154 --> 25:06.176
[SPEAKER_01]: It's just like a, it's the kind of movie that made people go to the theater to watch an exciting movie and

25:08.365 --> 25:14.650
[SPEAKER_01]: Like the special effects in the fugitive, it's interesting, are not that good, but you can tell they're practically done.

25:14.710 --> 25:18.193
[SPEAKER_01]: So it's actually super impressive, because it's right before CGI.

25:18.593 --> 25:23.217
[SPEAKER_01]: So it's like, oh no, like, that train, they really had to figure out how to make this train look like.

25:23.257 --> 25:25.519
[SPEAKER_01]: Anyway, I recommend those two as a rewatch.

25:25.599 --> 25:28.742
[SPEAKER_01]: Honorable mentioned, Groundhog Day and Mrs. Doubtfy are both great for kids.

25:29.262 --> 25:31.804
[SPEAKER_01]: Great rewatches, like fantastic comedy casts.

25:31.904 --> 25:34.006
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, my goodness, what was this happen happening?

25:34.226 --> 25:36.308
[SPEAKER_00]: I know, it was, yes, it was an amazing time.

25:36.868 --> 25:37.109
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.

25:37.909 --> 25:46.516
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll be quick with 1994 because there's so many good ones, but this is a rewatch we do every year at Christmas, and that is the little women that features Susan Sarandon as Marmy.

25:47.717 --> 26:00.347
[SPEAKER_01]: I know there have been recent little women that people love, but this one is so dear to my heart, and I watch it as a Christmas movie, even though it kind of opens at Christmas, and then it's not necessarily a Christmas movie, but it is for me.

26:01.673 --> 26:21.395
[SPEAKER_01]: And I love I like I have the visuals of that house memorize like what their house looks like and there's like also randomly kittens in this movie at a lot of different places and that makes me so happy because I love kittens so much and I just I will read I just love it there's too many there's so many good ones in 94, but I'm picking little women.

26:21.949 --> 26:37.420
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, I also have very clear memories of seeing that in the theater and many times since the ones so 94 really stands out that would have been the year I was traveling 16 and 17 and I really feel like I started to feel kind of like an adult that year like just on the adult way that I approached

26:38.281 --> 26:45.442
[SPEAKER_00]: going to movies and watching, you know, anyway, for us to dump is definitely a movie I probably saw five times that year.

26:47.002 --> 26:51.363
[SPEAKER_00]: And then, dumb and dumb are, I have a very specific memory of going to see that in this theater.

26:51.383 --> 26:53.624
[SPEAKER_00]: I can remember where I was sitting in the theater.

26:54.024 --> 26:56.884
[SPEAKER_00]: I can remember I was with a funny guy friend.

26:57.464 --> 27:00.145
[SPEAKER_00]: It was either the guy I had a big crush on or it was another guy.

27:00.165 --> 27:04.345
[SPEAKER_00]: I can't exactly remember, but I remember it was like a guy that was that was very funny.

27:04.465 --> 27:07.626
[SPEAKER_00]: And I had a very funny relationship with, and he was sitting to my right.

27:07.866 --> 27:11.589
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, thanks, though I remember laughing hysterically in that movie.

27:12.370 --> 27:14.652
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm actually, I think it was the guy I have the crush on.

27:15.313 --> 27:22.839
[SPEAKER_00]: And then an honorable mention movie that I just kind of forgot all about until I saw it on that list was it could happen to you.

27:23.259 --> 27:30.345
[SPEAKER_00]: And that was a Nicholas Cage movie where I think if I'm not mistaken, he wins a lottery.

27:31.146 --> 27:31.847
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.

27:31.927 --> 27:36.090
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't remember this one, but I did probably see every movie in the theater.

27:36.330 --> 27:38.031
[SPEAKER_00]: He's married to Rosie Perez.

27:38.151 --> 27:38.592
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, yes.

27:39.032 --> 27:46.397
[SPEAKER_00]: He's married to Rosie Perez, and she's kind of a, I'm not going to say a gold digger, but he's like a cop, and he don't have much money, and she wants more.

27:47.058 --> 27:54.063
[SPEAKER_00]: And then he tells this waitress, played by Bridget Fonda, that if he wins a lot, he'll split it with her, and he wins.

27:54.663 --> 28:02.452
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, and again, he wants to follow through on his promise to split it with his weightress and his wife is not happy and the whole thing.

28:02.512 --> 28:10.260
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, I just remember it being a very charming movie that I really liked back then, but have literally probably not seen it since 1990.

28:10.280 --> 28:13.003
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe I rented it again in 1995 or something.

28:13.284 --> 28:14.005
[SPEAKER_00]: It's been that long.

28:14.505 --> 28:20.087
[SPEAKER_01]: Just goes to show how many, there were so many movies coming to the theater and we went to the theater so much.

28:20.167 --> 28:27.070
[SPEAKER_01]: So we can just see a movie that was like good, it's not going to win a Academy Awards or like be on our rotation for the rest of our lives, but it was still good.

28:27.290 --> 28:30.211
[SPEAKER_00]: And you're like a teenager, so like all that's all it has to be.

28:30.311 --> 28:31.632
[SPEAKER_00]: It did the job, you know?

28:31.652 --> 28:34.153
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, so yes, like there's something so...

28:35.854 --> 28:47.360
[SPEAKER_00]: nostalgic to me and comforting about the feeling of it being a Friday night and thinking I'm just going to go to the theater or I'm going to go to the video store and I'm just I'm just going to be entertained.

28:47.920 --> 28:48.921
[SPEAKER_00]: That's all I have to do.

28:48.961 --> 28:50.342
[SPEAKER_00]: It's Friday night, you know.

28:50.362 --> 28:52.643
[SPEAKER_01]: Not even to 95 and we have deep nostalgia.

28:52.843 --> 28:53.303
[SPEAKER_01]: I know.

28:53.324 --> 28:56.565
[SPEAKER_01]: We're going to be like a puddle by the end.

28:56.785 --> 28:59.527
[SPEAKER_01]: I love both your picks for 94 because those would be for me too.

28:59.607 --> 29:00.828
[SPEAKER_01]: For us go and I'm in

29:04.810 --> 29:25.063
[SPEAKER_01]: Speaking of rewatches real quick before we go to 95 Ace Ventura and speed are both on the 94 list and we have tried We tried Ace Ventura the original as a rewatch with our kids and they hated it and speed we have not tried But we've told our cake is the premise of the movie speed and they're like great Movie and probably too doubt like skeptical now.

29:25.083 --> 29:31.427
[SPEAKER_01]: They're like the way it is said is happening So I'm saying not every 90s rewatch with your preteen or teenage children

29:31.887 --> 29:32.848
[SPEAKER_01]: is going to be a hit.

29:32.968 --> 29:38.692
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm mentioning some of the ones that have been, but there have been some real misses and Ace Ventura was one of them.

29:38.953 --> 29:53.784
[SPEAKER_00]: So I think that's really interesting because Ace Ventura went nature calls, which was the sequel to the original, is on my 1995 list, but I have some thoughts I'll tell you in a second, and speed was a movie that I developed in enormous crush on Keanu Reeves.

29:54.024 --> 29:54.245
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

29:54.585 --> 29:57.827
[SPEAKER_00]: And I don't think I'm passionate in the theater, but I definitely got my hands on a VHS

30:01.490 --> 30:02.831
[SPEAKER_00]: watch it so many times.

30:04.253 --> 30:13.060
[SPEAKER_00]: Ace Ventura, if you weren't there when Jim Carrey became Jim Carrey, I can see that that movie would be intolerable.

30:13.320 --> 30:14.081
[SPEAKER_01]: It's insane!

30:14.642 --> 30:16.763
[SPEAKER_00]: Like a soul over the top and he never

30:17.504 --> 30:18.885
[SPEAKER_00]: turns his face off.

30:19.005 --> 30:24.490
[SPEAKER_00]: Like it's so over the top and the plot and the plot is so down-stop at the end.

30:24.810 --> 30:26.531
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, I had kind of forgotten.

30:26.712 --> 30:28.653
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, I had forgotten about that too, though.

30:28.693 --> 30:31.856
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it doesn't feel good.

30:31.996 --> 30:33.437
[SPEAKER_01]: It doesn't hold forever for my family.

30:33.457 --> 30:34.058
[SPEAKER_00]: It doesn't hold up.

30:34.698 --> 30:36.459
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, let me tell ya.

30:36.479 --> 30:38.320
[SPEAKER_00]: It's been Tura when Nature calls.

30:38.460 --> 30:40.541
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not sure I had even seen the original.

30:40.701 --> 30:42.262
[SPEAKER_00]: For some reason, I just missed it.

30:42.502 --> 30:42.782
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.

30:43.022 --> 30:47.304
[SPEAKER_00]: And I went and saw a spin Tura when Nature calls with my brother in the movie theater.

30:47.324 --> 30:48.825
[SPEAKER_01]: I was hanging out with my brother a lot.

30:48.845 --> 30:51.206
[SPEAKER_01]: This is when he was home from the army and I was 17.

30:52.026 --> 30:54.147
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, and all my friends were still in high school.

30:54.167 --> 30:55.407
[SPEAKER_00]: Like all my best friends were still in high school.

30:55.427 --> 30:59.729
[SPEAKER_00]: So I hung around with my brother a lot and like killed a year, worked at J.C. Penny and went to the movies.

31:00.609 --> 31:07.412
[SPEAKER_00]: And I laughed so hard during that movie that I literally fell out of my seat.

31:08.618 --> 31:12.560
[SPEAKER_00]: and like he couldn't get back into my seat.

31:12.720 --> 31:14.820
[SPEAKER_00]: Like I was riding on the floor.

31:15.301 --> 31:17.121
[SPEAKER_00]: And it was within the first five minutes.

31:17.161 --> 31:20.622
[SPEAKER_00]: It's when he's climbing the mountain and like he comes across a baby bird.

31:20.643 --> 31:27.065
[SPEAKER_00]: And he says hungry little fella and then he like basically regurgitates a worm.

31:27.625 --> 31:28.507
[SPEAKER_00]: for the baby bird.

31:28.887 --> 31:36.118
[SPEAKER_00]: So you know what you're getting into immediately, but I look what am I even watching and and I just like cry through the whole thing.

31:36.158 --> 31:43.308
[SPEAKER_01]: That is the movie I've rewatch multiple times as an adult because I don't think I must have seen, I'm sure I saw it once, but I don't think I've ever seen this.

31:44.769 --> 31:48.530
[SPEAKER_00]: but not problematic in the same way that the f***ing old one was, so.

31:48.550 --> 31:49.050
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, great, yeah.

31:49.110 --> 31:49.710
[SPEAKER_01]: Good to know.

31:49.970 --> 31:56.272
[SPEAKER_01]: I will say we haven't done some gym carry rewatches with our kids and they are not totally anti gym carry.

31:56.292 --> 31:59.573
[SPEAKER_01]: There are some that hold up better than others and yeah.

31:59.613 --> 32:04.535
[SPEAKER_00]: So maybe you had a stick and you know, it's sometimes like when you look back at it, you're like, while the 90s were wild.

32:04.835 --> 32:05.895
[SPEAKER_01]: So it wasn't wild time.

32:06.936 --> 32:08.437
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, 95 was a great year.

32:08.577 --> 32:12.500
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not gonna talk about while you were sleeping, but I loved that movie.

32:12.760 --> 32:13.621
[SPEAKER_01]: I loved it so much.

32:13.661 --> 32:15.842
[SPEAKER_01]: It honestly made me kind of fall in love with Chicago.

32:15.883 --> 32:19.766
[SPEAKER_01]: It's such a Chicago-based movie and also as Bill Pullman, who appears in the world.

32:19.886 --> 32:19.986
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes.

32:20.006 --> 32:21.167
[SPEAKER_00]: My 90's favorite.

32:21.227 --> 32:26.050
[SPEAKER_00]: And my husband always teases me for having a retro crush on Bill Pullman because he's like, I don't get it.

32:26.111 --> 32:27.432
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm like, well, you were not watching.

32:27.452 --> 32:35.458
[SPEAKER_00]: Did you see the movie with Bill Pullman and Ellen DeGeneres where he dresses up like a clown and stands on still outside her bedroom window?

32:35.798 --> 32:36.498
[SPEAKER_01]: I sure didn't.

32:36.738 --> 32:37.039
[SPEAKER_01]: I do.

32:37.059 --> 32:39.279
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to have to look at that one up because I can't remember.

32:39.860 --> 32:40.520
[SPEAKER_00]: I can't remember.

32:41.140 --> 32:41.841
[SPEAKER_00]: Mr. Wrong.

32:41.861 --> 32:43.321
[SPEAKER_00]: That was 96.

32:43.481 --> 32:43.841
[SPEAKER_00]: Wow.

32:44.041 --> 32:44.322
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.

32:44.622 --> 32:44.822
[SPEAKER_01]: No.

32:45.082 --> 32:45.982
[SPEAKER_01]: I didn't know that one.

32:46.002 --> 32:46.663
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.

32:46.703 --> 32:46.943
[SPEAKER_01]: But.

32:47.683 --> 32:47.963
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.

32:48.483 --> 32:48.723
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.

32:48.903 --> 32:56.587
[SPEAKER_01]: So while you're sleeping is not my pick, but I am going to pick a rewatch from 95 that I did not see until I was an adult, but it has made the list.

32:56.607 --> 33:00.308
[SPEAKER_01]: And that is the American president with Michael Douglas and great net betting.

33:00.428 --> 33:01.228
[SPEAKER_01]: It's a great movie.

33:01.248 --> 33:01.609
[SPEAKER_01]: It's another

33:02.829 --> 33:15.034
[SPEAKER_01]: So because I had discovered a few good men, which is Sorcan written and then like later by the end of the 90s I was sort of like watching the West Wing or but really more in the arts So this was like a retroactive.

33:15.054 --> 33:23.577
[SPEAKER_01]: I didn't see the American president till probably the mid-auts But it's such a cute rewatch and it's so earnest and kind of like

33:24.243 --> 33:24.683
[SPEAKER_01]: Simple.

33:24.843 --> 33:29.386
[SPEAKER_01]: It's like if you have liked the Westwing or you think you might like the Westwing, but you've just never bothered.

33:29.466 --> 33:31.847
[SPEAKER_01]: I feel like you could get this in movie form.

33:32.067 --> 33:33.608
[SPEAKER_01]: It's totally appropriate for kids.

33:33.648 --> 33:35.529
[SPEAKER_01]: The daughter and it is like 11 or 12.

33:35.649 --> 33:39.430
[SPEAKER_01]: It's just like it's kind of the opposite of all the gross comedy we've been talking about.

33:39.470 --> 33:44.353
[SPEAKER_01]: It's just like a nugget of a movie and some really funny bits too.

33:44.393 --> 33:44.573
[SPEAKER_01]: So.

33:44.875 --> 34:03.246
[SPEAKER_01]: and talk about like a duo Michael Douglas at a net betting who were just writing like writing high in the night top of their games and they were able to be cast as like I don't know 40 some things or yeah like she was like late 30s so it's like it's not the young people it's like the established and yeah it's just a it's just at all around great film

34:03.626 --> 34:03.846
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

34:04.166 --> 34:04.346
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

34:04.486 --> 34:04.647
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

34:04.667 --> 34:05.327
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

34:05.347 --> 34:05.567
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.

34:05.947 --> 34:08.188
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, in 96, I am 16 Megan.

34:08.368 --> 34:09.029
[SPEAKER_01]: I am 16.

34:09.049 --> 34:10.009
[SPEAKER_01]: My braces are off.

34:10.409 --> 34:13.451
[SPEAKER_01]: I have a driver's license because my birthday is at the beginning of the year.

34:13.531 --> 34:17.373
[SPEAKER_01]: So I'm by by the summer blockbuster season of 96.

34:17.733 --> 34:21.815
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't have a boyfriend yet, but I have had a boyfriend.

34:21.855 --> 34:22.455
[SPEAKER_01]: I have a car.

34:23.057 --> 34:29.002
[SPEAKER_01]: And my pick for the great year of 1996 is Romeo and Juliet with Leo and Claire.

34:29.082 --> 34:33.907
[SPEAKER_01]: And I have rewatch this with recently couple times recently with my Shakespeare loving.

34:34.464 --> 34:46.228
[SPEAKER_01]: theater kids who, you know, teenagers will tell you if they think a movie's bad or dumb or like this, but my middle kid, especially loved this Romeo and Juliet and it holds up.

34:46.288 --> 34:49.369
[SPEAKER_01]: It holds up in a way like, yes, it's it's dated.

34:49.669 --> 34:56.191
[SPEAKER_01]: So it feels very 90s, but it's so good and I would rewatch it any day of the week.

34:56.451 --> 34:56.972
[SPEAKER_00]: It is great.

34:57.492 --> 35:00.294
[SPEAKER_00]: I feel like Jenna and I saw that together in the theater.

35:00.314 --> 35:01.455
[SPEAKER_00]: I have a very clear memory of that.

35:01.475 --> 35:02.276
[SPEAKER_00]: We would have been in college.

35:02.296 --> 35:03.116
[SPEAKER_00]: We would have been roommates.

35:03.216 --> 35:06.279
[SPEAKER_00]: But I also think we were in an English class together.

35:06.579 --> 35:07.800
[SPEAKER_00]: One class ever in college.

35:08.120 --> 35:08.380
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.

35:08.601 --> 35:11.863
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think we took, I think we got extra credit for going to see it.

35:11.963 --> 35:12.284
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.

35:12.584 --> 35:14.185
[SPEAKER_00]: So I think we were on campus.

35:14.205 --> 35:16.767
[SPEAKER_00]: Like I think we went to the campus, you know, they would love me.

35:16.807 --> 35:22.992
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it just hit at exactly hit at the time where I'm discovering that I love English and Shakespeare and

35:23.422 --> 35:24.022
[SPEAKER_01]: That kind of stuff.

35:24.202 --> 35:27.124
[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm romantic and I love boys and I love going to the movies.

35:27.164 --> 35:28.165
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, it was just all the things.

35:28.185 --> 35:29.005
[SPEAKER_01]: Everything, everything.

35:29.185 --> 35:29.385
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

35:30.246 --> 35:32.167
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to talk about two summer blockbusters.

35:32.247 --> 35:37.050
[SPEAKER_00]: I for sure saw both of these movies in the summer, independent stay and twist.

35:37.070 --> 35:37.330
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.

35:37.810 --> 35:41.012
[SPEAKER_00]: I spent the summer with my brothers in Tennessee.

35:42.753 --> 35:45.735
[SPEAKER_00]: So this was my summer between my freshman and sophomore year as a college.

35:46.936 --> 35:50.578
[SPEAKER_00]: And I went down there and hung out in this cabin with them.

35:50.698 --> 35:52.579
[SPEAKER_00]: And we went to the movies all like every weekend.

35:52.959 --> 35:53.159
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

35:53.400 --> 35:58.126
[SPEAKER_00]: And I can't exactly, well, first of all, Independence Day was the first movie I ever remember selling out.

35:58.166 --> 35:59.628
[SPEAKER_00]: And we talked about this a little bit ago.

35:59.688 --> 35:59.889
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

36:00.029 --> 36:04.194
[SPEAKER_00]: The other day about how, like, for a little while, there were movies coming out of such...

36:05.460 --> 36:09.581
[SPEAKER_00]: hype and stature that the mood you were not guaranteed at movie ticket.

36:09.661 --> 36:13.782
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think that happens as much anymore unless it's like Star Wars or something I guess.

36:14.243 --> 36:15.343
[SPEAKER_00]: But that was one of them.

36:15.623 --> 36:18.884
[SPEAKER_00]: That I think we had to like come back the next day or something and then Twister.

36:19.644 --> 36:22.385
[SPEAKER_00]: So those were within a couple of months of each other that I would have seen those movies.

36:22.925 --> 36:28.727
[SPEAKER_00]: And I remember feeling very inspired in a like maybe I'll go work in Hollywood kind of.

36:29.127 --> 36:38.653
[SPEAKER_00]: But both of those are new things and ever did it and I don't even know what it was about those movies They're they're just blockbusters like they're good movies, but yeah

36:39.753 --> 36:49.400
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, like, they're not the kind of movies I would usually be into their action, but I just really enjoyed myself.

36:49.480 --> 36:51.141
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe that's what it was.

36:51.281 --> 36:52.362
[SPEAKER_00]: I just really enjoyed myself.

36:52.442 --> 36:55.364
[SPEAKER_00]: And Twister was Helen Hunt, right?

36:55.564 --> 37:00.447
[SPEAKER_00]: And the guy that's not a film poet, but it's no, but his name is like Bill Paxon.

37:00.567 --> 37:01.348
[SPEAKER_00]: Bill Paxon, yes.

37:01.628 --> 37:04.730
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, I mean, that just came from like a deep recesses of my 90s,

37:06.551 --> 37:10.774
[SPEAKER_00]: Bill Paxton and I just thought they were great together and like it was just great.

37:11.675 --> 37:13.276
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, those are great rewatches.

37:13.336 --> 37:17.379
[SPEAKER_01]: We have rewatched independent state as we did it on 4th of July.

37:17.600 --> 37:18.480
[SPEAKER_01]: The last couple of summers.

37:18.640 --> 37:20.422
[SPEAKER_01]: I have not rewatched Twitter, but I would.

37:20.662 --> 37:21.042
[SPEAKER_01]: I loved it.

37:21.062 --> 37:22.163
[SPEAKER_01]: I remember loving it at the time.

37:22.203 --> 37:22.844
[SPEAKER_01]: So those are great.

37:22.944 --> 37:27.627
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think I've ever rewatched Twitter either, but I totally would if I if I have the opportunity, which I guess I could.

37:27.687 --> 37:28.748
[SPEAKER_00]: I could just do that.

37:29.509 --> 37:30.710
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, there's no reason not to

37:31.410 --> 37:34.691
[SPEAKER_00]: All right, moving along to another blockbuster in 97.

37:35.271 --> 37:38.132
[SPEAKER_00]: By the time this movie comes out, things have changed a lot for a little Megan.

37:38.412 --> 37:39.353
[SPEAKER_00]: I now have a baby.

37:39.573 --> 37:42.034
[SPEAKER_00]: So this would have been the tail end of 97.

37:43.214 --> 37:50.716
[SPEAKER_00]: Because that really was more of a 1998 movie, but probably you always know the why they release certain movies at certain times.

37:50.736 --> 37:52.077
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think this one was like a Christmas.

37:52.137 --> 37:52.517
[SPEAKER_01]: It was a

37:52.617 --> 37:58.564
[SPEAKER_01]: Christmas, I'll share why I know that too, but it was a Christmas release and we're just yeah, we're sticking with when they were released.

37:58.584 --> 38:03.629
[SPEAKER_01]: But yes, many people would have seen this in 98 because it did come out probably Thanksgiving weekend or that kind of thing.

38:03.690 --> 38:03.850
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

38:04.190 --> 38:11.759
[SPEAKER_00]: And I saw it with Jacob as a little tiny baby, Jacob was born on November 10th and Jenna came down by this point.

38:13.400 --> 38:21.364
[SPEAKER_00]: My little family and I are living down in Nashville and Jenna came to visit me over the Christmas holiday So I know it was some time in there.

38:21.384 --> 38:28.447
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know if it was like right before Christmas or right after and I took Jacob and his little car seat And I remember thinking okay, I probably have to feed him.

38:28.487 --> 38:32.728
[SPEAKER_00]: He slept with the entire movie and That's a click of three hour long movie.

38:33.489 --> 38:33.669
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

38:33.749 --> 38:33.949
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, yeah

38:34.562 --> 38:40.246
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, and I was just like, in raptured by it.

38:40.327 --> 38:41.427
[SPEAKER_00]: I loved Kate Winslet.

38:41.507 --> 38:48.693
[SPEAKER_00]: I had loved her since, since sensibility, and I, of course, lovely, oh, yeah.

38:48.813 --> 38:51.855
[SPEAKER_00]: And that movie was so theatrical and all of the ways.

38:51.955 --> 38:55.538
[SPEAKER_00]: And so over the top, it's just visually, yeah.

38:55.658 --> 38:58.740
[SPEAKER_00]: I have tried to rewatch it, and I sort of just can't know.

38:59.721 --> 39:00.001
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.

39:00.342 --> 39:01.743
[SPEAKER_01]: I rewatched it for not good.

39:03.782 --> 39:05.123
[SPEAKER_00]: It doesn't feel as good.

39:05.403 --> 39:09.826
[SPEAKER_00]: It feels like I think it deserved the hype that it got.

39:10.246 --> 39:12.428
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't want to sit through three hours of that movie again.

39:12.488 --> 39:13.829
[SPEAKER_00]: I'll watch scenes from it.

39:14.189 --> 39:20.713
[SPEAKER_00]: Like I watched the classic, you know, the most classic scenes of him drawing her, and like the bow of the ship and all of that.

39:20.733 --> 39:27.798
[SPEAKER_00]: Like I'll watch those scenes and be like, oh yeah, this scratch is an itch, but there's no part of me that wants to sit down and watch three hours of a ship going down.

39:29.088 --> 39:41.313
[SPEAKER_01]: So we broke it up into two when we showed our kids maybe three years ago is a while ago we decided to do like a family rewatch of Titanic and we broke we broke it up into two and Brian made the various suit comment.

39:41.333 --> 39:42.793
[SPEAKER_01]: He's like it's like two movies.

39:42.893 --> 39:48.676
[SPEAKER_01]: It's like the first movie is a period romance and the second movie is an action adventure.

39:49.910 --> 39:58.101
[SPEAKER_01]: drama on the high seas and it's like it's literally like two movies and so that would just be a tip for anybody who's not sure if they want three hours.

39:58.141 --> 39:59.163
[SPEAKER_01]: You can break it up.

39:59.904 --> 40:01.486
[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe you're in it for one or the other.

40:01.606 --> 40:04.891
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe you're in it for the romance and maybe you're in it for the ship, you know.

40:04.911 --> 40:06.493
[SPEAKER_01]: And it does kind of try to do both.

40:06.793 --> 40:06.994
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

40:07.014 --> 40:07.194
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

40:08.904 --> 40:09.966
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, great pick though.

40:10.407 --> 40:17.660
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, I, I also that was very formative for me and I do remember coming out at Christmas and seeing it, people saw that multiple times in the theater.

40:17.680 --> 40:21.087
[SPEAKER_01]: Like you'd go back, maybe you didn't consider it a newborn, but yeah multiple times.

40:22.018 --> 40:39.719
[SPEAKER_01]: My rewatch pick for 97 is goodwill hunting, but oh my gosh, are there so many good ones to choose this is Interesting because I don't actually have my formative memory intact for seeing this for the first time Which is interesting because most of these movies like you said I can picture where I was who I was with or did I rent it did I go see it?

40:40.380 --> 40:43.441
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know, but I will say it's a great rewatch.

40:43.701 --> 40:51.724
[SPEAKER_01]: And I just remember, I remember in the years following this movie, just loving the story of how they wrote it together, their childhood friends, they took their moms to the Oscars.

40:51.764 --> 40:57.025
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, I was all in on, by this point, like, how the sausage gets made in Hollywood.

40:57.105 --> 41:02.487
[SPEAKER_01]: And I think the, you know, the lore has continued about those two and their friendship and their creative partnership.

41:02.587 --> 41:02.947
[SPEAKER_01]: And so,

41:03.507 --> 41:05.349
[SPEAKER_01]: it's just a really really good movie.

41:05.489 --> 41:07.671
[SPEAKER_01]: It's a really good Robin Williams performance.

41:07.791 --> 41:08.192
[SPEAKER_00]: It's great.

41:08.592 --> 41:09.773
[SPEAKER_00]: It holds up so so well.

41:09.793 --> 41:10.374
[SPEAKER_01]: It holds up.

41:10.434 --> 41:11.915
[SPEAKER_01]: It's really, really tender.

41:11.995 --> 41:14.538
[SPEAKER_01]: Like the end of that movie is one of my favorite movie endings ever.

41:14.678 --> 41:16.540
[SPEAKER_01]: Like it's just really, really, really good.

41:16.620 --> 41:24.247
[SPEAKER_01]: So there's kind of like a very naughty joke right in the middle, which we remembered when we were showing it to like a preteen child.

41:24.347 --> 41:27.130
[SPEAKER_01]: But like besides that, you know, it's a, it's a family watch.

41:28.277 --> 41:32.598
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, okay, I will take us to 98, which is the year I graduated high school.

41:32.638 --> 41:37.559
[SPEAKER_01]: So I start 98 as a senior and by the end of 98, I'm in college, right?

41:37.599 --> 41:42.040
[SPEAKER_01]: So it's like, you know, the first or the last half of my senior year and the first half of going away to college.

41:42.700 --> 41:50.481
[SPEAKER_01]: And my pick a Shakespeare in love, um, which I rewatched recently again with my Shakespeare-loving theater kids and they loved it.

41:50.702 --> 41:51.242
[SPEAKER_01]: It's great.

41:51.282 --> 41:52.922
[SPEAKER_01]: It has a couple of parts that are

41:53.322 --> 41:57.164
[SPEAKER_01]: like, not as good as what we would make now, like I also saw Hamna.

41:57.184 --> 42:01.306
[SPEAKER_01]: I saw Hamna and a rewatch Shakespeare in love in the same week recently.

42:01.906 --> 42:05.608
[SPEAKER_01]: And it's not as realistic about the Renaissance.

42:05.848 --> 42:06.148
[SPEAKER_01]: Right.

42:06.188 --> 42:08.469
[SPEAKER_01]: You're some things that with our modern sensibilities.

42:09.313 --> 42:25.223
[SPEAKER_01]: But, and, and, but, I felt so nostalgic when I was watching it, and I think it's an original screenplay, I mean, it's obviously playing off of actual William Shakespeare, but I think the idea for this movie was very original.

42:36.750 --> 42:43.247
[SPEAKER_01]: land with my 20, 20, 16 majors, but actually it was great and funny and sweet and I recommend it for a re-watch.

42:44.128 --> 43:09.266
[SPEAKER_00]: I watched Shakespeare and love when I was taking a semester of Shakespeare, like in immersive Shakespeare study, and that was such a time of life for me when kind of like you said early like, I'm realizing I'm like writing and I'm realizing I live the chapter and I'm realizing and so for me it was like, I'm realizing I like medieval dress and like all of those things and yeah, that was that was a great one.

43:09.826 --> 43:11.868
[SPEAKER_00]: I haven't rewatched it, part of me's a little afraid

43:14.049 --> 43:29.147
[SPEAKER_01]: I was jealous of the surprise and I even told my kids I don't actually know if we're going to love this movie I can only tell you that when I was 18 I very much loved it, but I don't know So I was pleasantly surprised young one at this so She's actually really really good in this movie very like

43:29.775 --> 43:35.256
[SPEAKER_01]: sweet and captivating, and yeah, and I, oh man, that, what's the other finds?

43:35.316 --> 43:37.737
[SPEAKER_01]: Joseph finds, that he was so, you're all very mean.

43:37.937 --> 43:38.417
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.

43:39.577 --> 43:41.858
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, I'll add that to my list.

43:42.578 --> 43:44.519
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, for me, 98 would be the Truman Show.

43:44.599 --> 43:52.980
[SPEAKER_00]: And this is a movie that has held up so well that all of my kids have independently seen it, like without me showing it to them and talk about it, like a lot.

43:53.000 --> 43:53.221
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

43:53.401 --> 43:54.481
[SPEAKER_01]: So kids like this movie too.

43:59.502 --> 44:06.647
[SPEAKER_00]: Today in the social media world, of course, the plot is that Jim Carrey is an unknowingly a character.

44:07.258 --> 44:09.178
[SPEAKER_00]: in reality television show.

44:09.458 --> 44:11.899
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that he doesn't know he's part of.

44:11.939 --> 44:13.539
[SPEAKER_00]: And then it's like, what is real?

44:13.639 --> 44:14.659
[SPEAKER_00]: And he has to figure that out.

44:14.699 --> 44:16.740
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's a great movie.

44:17.040 --> 44:17.800
[SPEAKER_00]: I would watch that again.

44:17.820 --> 44:26.661
[SPEAKER_00]: And in fact, I think it was the first movie where I realized that Jim Carrey actually is a good actor to, and actually a lot of audiences were starting to have had to come around to that.

44:26.941 --> 44:27.182
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

44:27.282 --> 44:30.062
[SPEAKER_01]: And the one where he played Andy Kaufman, but that might have been a little later.

44:30.542 --> 44:31.162
[SPEAKER_01]: That's later.

44:31.222 --> 44:35.443
[SPEAKER_00]: And there was also one that he was in with Kate Winslet, which was also really good.

44:35.825 --> 44:36.647
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, it turned out sunshine.

44:36.787 --> 44:38.852
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, that I think we've really been a little later.

44:39.052 --> 44:44.564
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, maybe the next year or something, but yeah, definitely worth a rewatch, I might rewatch that this week.

44:45.390 --> 44:54.961
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, I second Truman show for a teen, I think my kids were pretty young actually when we showed them Truman show and I agree kids like it.

44:55.021 --> 44:56.142
[SPEAKER_01]: It's, it's really interesting.

44:56.162 --> 44:56.863
[SPEAKER_01]: Is it Laura Lenny?

44:57.063 --> 44:57.323
[SPEAKER_01]: That's it.

44:57.383 --> 44:58.184
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, it's Laura Lenny.

44:58.445 --> 44:58.605
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

44:58.685 --> 45:05.572
[SPEAKER_00]: And sometimes the kids have made fun of me and say I sound like Laura Lenny when she's doing, because she does a lot of ads that are like baked into the Conta.

45:06.013 --> 45:06.493
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, yeah.

45:06.513 --> 45:06.754
[SPEAKER_01]: Never.

45:07.353 --> 45:09.773
[SPEAKER_00]: I should talk about like the toothpaste or something.

45:09.813 --> 45:11.514
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, yes, yes, it's so funny.

45:11.814 --> 45:14.134
[SPEAKER_00]: What is the name of the guy who plays the director?

45:14.214 --> 45:14.894
[SPEAKER_00]: It's Ed Harris.

45:15.194 --> 45:16.735
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, I also really like him.

45:16.795 --> 45:19.995
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, he's in a lot of great 90s and early odds.

45:20.215 --> 45:21.896
[SPEAKER_01]: Like he was, I feel like a staple.

45:22.296 --> 45:26.016
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, he's that guy who's in stuff where you're like, you know, that guy.

45:26.056 --> 45:27.416
[SPEAKER_00]: He's the reason he's always really good.

45:27.436 --> 45:29.017
[SPEAKER_01]: All of 13 too, right?

45:29.037 --> 45:29.917
[SPEAKER_01]: Which is a great 90s.

45:29.937 --> 45:33.878
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, we watch for kids that we haven't mentioned, because there's just too many.

45:34.298 --> 45:35.618
[SPEAKER_01]: Should you take us to 1999?

45:36.618 --> 45:37.899
[SPEAKER_00]: I will take us to 1999.

45:37.919 --> 45:40.260
[SPEAKER_00]: I have three that I'm going to hit that are very, very different.

45:40.440 --> 45:41.241
[SPEAKER_00]: I'll hit them quickly.

45:41.681 --> 45:42.702
[SPEAKER_00]: One is the green mile.

45:42.822 --> 45:44.623
[SPEAKER_00]: That was one of, that was a Tom Hanks.

45:45.003 --> 45:50.966
[SPEAKER_00]: One of those long movies based on a Stephen King story I believe.

45:51.727 --> 45:52.807
[SPEAKER_00]: It is wonderful.

45:53.007 --> 45:55.589
[SPEAKER_00]: It's hard to, it's like it's, it's sad.

45:56.770 --> 45:57.790
[SPEAKER_00]: And in some ways, hard to watch.

45:57.830 --> 46:01.252
[SPEAKER_00]: I've rewatched that half a dozen times, probably says I loved it.

46:01.873 --> 46:05.174
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to mention two other ones that are very different ends of the

46:06.595 --> 46:10.837
[SPEAKER_00]: One is I's wide shut, because it was such a phenomenon at the time.

46:11.617 --> 46:13.098
[SPEAKER_00]: Everybody was talking about it.

46:13.118 --> 46:14.759
[SPEAKER_00]: It was Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise.

46:15.319 --> 46:19.280
[SPEAKER_00]: Yep, I finally, but now at this point I think I, by that time I had two little kids.

46:19.380 --> 46:22.722
[SPEAKER_00]: I wasn't really going to the movies very much, and I waited and saw it on...

46:23.262 --> 46:30.388
[SPEAKER_00]: I believe I watched it probably on VHS and I remember thinking this movie is so stupid and it's nothing like what I thought it was going to be.

46:30.448 --> 46:33.810
[SPEAKER_00]: I really thought it was going to be much more sexy I guess.

46:33.950 --> 46:38.054
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah and it was just like Tom Cruise running around telling people he was a doctor.

46:38.094 --> 46:45.259
[SPEAKER_00]: I just didn't get it and I felt like it was trying really hard to be something and in the end it did not speak to me.

46:45.319 --> 46:47.941
[SPEAKER_00]: Now I would be curious what I think if I watched it now.

46:49.123 --> 46:54.951
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, the other movie is, do this big-a-low male jiggle-low.

46:55.572 --> 47:00.279
[SPEAKER_00]: The reason I'm bringing up this movie is that I think it really puts a cap.

47:01.519 --> 47:09.601
[SPEAKER_00]: On a very specific kind of SNL derived 90s movie, there were so many of them.

47:09.641 --> 47:28.365
[SPEAKER_00]: I didn't mention really any of them, but like the Adam Sandler movies, the Chris Farley movies, Dana Carvey movies, the Mike Meyer movies, there were all of these stars of SNL in the 90s who would come out and do movies sometimes based on a character from an SNL.

47:28.645 --> 47:28.925
[SPEAKER_01]: Right.

47:29.025 --> 47:30.546
[SPEAKER_01]: Like we, I mean, Austin Powers.

47:30.566 --> 47:31.207
[SPEAKER_01]: We haven't even seen it.

47:31.227 --> 47:31.307
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.

47:31.327 --> 47:31.547
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, yeah.

47:31.567 --> 47:33.609
[SPEAKER_01]: It was a failed rewatch with my teens by the way.

47:33.629 --> 47:34.309
[SPEAKER_01]: It did not.

47:34.369 --> 47:37.312
[SPEAKER_00]: My kids pretended to like it, but they didn't like it that much.

47:37.972 --> 47:40.534
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, this one I believe was Rob Schneider.

47:40.554 --> 47:41.915
[SPEAKER_00]: It is Rob Schneider.

47:41.975 --> 47:46.458
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think I've seen this, but I can picture, I can picture the poster and all the things.

47:46.679 --> 47:52.623
[SPEAKER_00]: What I would say about Rob Schneider is that he was very funny in small doses on SNL.

47:52.643 --> 47:57.507
[SPEAKER_00]: I think he was a really solid cast member, but I don't think his characters.

47:58.217 --> 48:02.399
[SPEAKER_00]: the copy guy and like, you know, making copies, do a spook alone.

48:02.419 --> 48:05.621
[SPEAKER_00]: They did not hold up on an entire movie.

48:05.701 --> 48:07.442
[SPEAKER_00]: Like it just didn't work.

48:08.222 --> 48:12.725
[SPEAKER_00]: And I feel like the end of the 90s was maybe kind of the death of that.

48:12.765 --> 48:13.945
[SPEAKER_00]: Now there were still a few more.

48:13.965 --> 48:17.507
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, because they're on their way to gone into the odds probably right.

48:17.527 --> 48:22.130
[SPEAKER_00]: He did, but he wasn't riffing so specifically on SNL characters that I don't know.

48:22.150 --> 48:23.771
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think they could anymore after that.

48:24.131 --> 48:27.092
[SPEAKER_00]: There was also one called Ladiesman

48:28.633 --> 48:30.995
[SPEAKER_00]: might have been more like into the 2000s.

48:31.015 --> 48:33.677
[SPEAKER_00]: Like maybe that was 2000.

48:35.099 --> 48:36.240
[SPEAKER_00]: That might have been actually the very.

48:36.260 --> 48:37.160
[SPEAKER_00]: That was Tim Meadows.

48:37.741 --> 48:40.103
[SPEAKER_00]: And again, it called out all those same cast members.

48:40.143 --> 48:44.186
[SPEAKER_00]: Like it pulled in stars and it pulled in us and all people just not a good movie.

48:44.286 --> 48:46.608
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's kind of how I feel about do you speak a little male jiggle.

48:46.628 --> 48:47.168
[SPEAKER_00]: But you know what?

48:47.268 --> 48:49.010
[SPEAKER_00]: In the 90s, it got the job done.

48:49.330 --> 48:49.670
[SPEAKER_01]: It worked.

48:49.870 --> 48:51.191
[SPEAKER_00]: You wanted to go have a laugh.

48:51.231 --> 48:57.596
[SPEAKER_00]: And so I would watch that again, just as a like, can you believe this is the stuff that we watch that this happened.

48:57.676 --> 48:57.876
[SPEAKER_00]: Yep.

48:57.916 --> 48:58.997
[SPEAKER_00]: And you really like this happened.

48:59.357 --> 48:59.537
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

48:59.938 --> 49:00.498
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, okay.

49:00.518 --> 49:04.361
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, my final pick from the year 1999 is the Thomas Crown Fair.

49:04.541 --> 49:04.961
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.

49:05.161 --> 49:08.123
[SPEAKER_01]: Is um, did you know it is a remake of a Steve McQueen.

49:08.584 --> 49:10.105
[SPEAKER_01]: I think I did know that actually.

49:10.245 --> 49:10.465
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

49:10.905 --> 49:30.812
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, it was a big movie at the time I remember seeing it when I was home from college, so in my hometown theater with high school friends, but like the summer home from freshman year, um, and it's a very sexy Pierce Brosnan and a very sexy Renee Russo and some very sexy scenes, but it's also a great high-st movie.

49:31.012 --> 49:31.212
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.

49:31.432 --> 49:33.953
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, so we've rewatched with our, uh,

49:34.333 --> 49:34.814
[SPEAKER_01]: kids.

49:34.834 --> 49:37.475
[SPEAKER_01]: It's a really satisfying ending.

49:38.256 --> 49:39.176
[SPEAKER_01]: And I was a little bit older.

49:39.216 --> 49:39.997
[SPEAKER_01]: I was 19.

49:40.077 --> 49:47.122
[SPEAKER_01]: I remember like really thinking that like the just the art direction of that movie, the visuals of that movie were gorgeous.

49:47.162 --> 49:48.743
[SPEAKER_01]: Her clothes are gorgeous.

49:48.803 --> 49:54.267
[SPEAKER_01]: It's like a lot of great New York real estate and the island and the Bahamas where they go.

49:54.287 --> 49:56.688
[SPEAKER_01]: It's just like it's a movie.

49:56.868 --> 49:57.489
[SPEAKER_01]: It's a film.

49:58.489 --> 50:00.771
[SPEAKER_01]: And I have rewatched it many times and I enjoy it.

50:01.360 --> 50:06.081
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, that is a good one that I would, it kind of fell off my radar, but it's a legit good movie.

50:06.521 --> 50:07.381
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it's a legit movie.

50:07.401 --> 50:09.062
[SPEAKER_00]: Unlike do-spigulum, let's take a look.

50:09.082 --> 50:12.543
[SPEAKER_00]: It's kind of almost impossible to believe they were on the same list, but there, there you go.

50:12.563 --> 50:13.483
[SPEAKER_00]: That's the 90s for you.

50:13.883 --> 50:14.863
