90mins On Film

On this episode we revisit the neon-soaked, one-liner-loaded survival game show satire, 1987's sci-fi action spectacle, 'The Running Man,' starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. From its razor-sharp satire of media and government to Arnie’s more than classic line deliveries, this film gives us more than enough to talk about. Joined by Ben Gonzalez, one-third of the Movies In Trouble podcast, we break down the film’s wild production history, its over-the-top action sequences, and why this dystopian game show feels more prophetic now than ever.

Recorded live at Beyond The Grave in Downey, California, the largest Halloween pop-up bar in Los Angeles, the 90mins On Film crew brings you a very special episode, just in time for spooky season! We’re diving into 2009’s 'Zombieland,' a horror-comedy classic that taught us the importance of cardio, the double-tap, and avoiding clown zombies at all costs. Joining us for this chaotic celebration is Bort, the operations manager and audio wizard for The Woody Show on ALT 98.7, so grab a cocktail, keep your guns loaded, and enjoy this bite-sized live episode!

Producer Samantha Garcia returns to celebrate the 20th Anniversary of 'House of Wax',  the gory remake that turned mid-2000s pop culture into a horror show. A self-proclaimed defender of this very niche film, Samantha makes her case for why this film deserves more respect, while we dig into the fascinating reinvention of Paris Hilton, and the undeniably weird onscreen attraction between the film’s leads. It’s wax, it’s wild, and it’s way more interesting (and awkward) than we all remember.

"As far back as I can remember I always wanted to be..." a podcaster..?

In celebration of the 35th anniversary of Martin Scorsese’s Goodfellas, we’re going full Henry Hill and breaking our own rules with our longest episode to date! We spend nearly 2hrs of us obsessing over Ray Liotta’s cocaine-fueled paranoia, Joe Pesci’s unhinged antices, and Robert De Niro’s villianous gazes. And since family is everything, we've brought in one of our own (again!), film producer Samantha Garcia, who's fresh off producing a short film with Jordan Peele’s Monkeypaw.

It's 'Mob Movie Month' and we’re talkin' 'Donnie Brasco' (1997), the movie where Johnny Depp goes undercover in the mob still looking like Johnny Depp, and Al Pacino plays the most low-energy gangster of his career, and it somehow weirdly works. It’s a tale of friendship, betrayal, and the kind of loyalty that makes you wonder if friends are worth dying for. Joining us is special guest Ray Montano, who will help us decide if 'Donnie Brasco' is a mob classic, or a really long cautionary tale about bad guys with bad nicknames. "Fuggettaboudit!"

In this episode we tackle Steven Soderbergh’s "Out of Sight" (1998), the smooth, stylish crime caper that helped make George Clooney a movie star, and, against all odds, convinced us that (the-artist-formerly-known-as) Jennifer Lopez could actually act... Yes, the same JLo responsible for a string of recent cinematic crimes turns in such a memorable performance here, that we’re forced to eat our words… at least for 90 minutes.

"90mins On Film returns," and we’re headed back to 1995 for 'Get Shorty,' the slick, satirical crime-comedy that turned John Travolta into a cool leading man (again), gave us a peak into Elmore Leonard's swagger (again), and pulled back the velvet curtain on Hollywood’s sleazy underbelly. In this episdoe we break down Barry Sonnenfeld’s precision direction, the perfect casting, and how a movie about making movies somehow ended up being one of THE BEST movies ABOUT making movies ever made.

It’s all in the reflexes... and we’re celebrating the anniversary of John Carpenter’s modern Western and kung fu cult classic "Big Trouble in Little China," and this time, we’ve brought backup! 

Joining us all the way from Japan is special guest host (and 1/3 of 'Movies In Trouble') Ben Gonzalez, along with special guest Erns, a Southern Californian lens wizard, to help us shake the pillars of heaven. 

From ancient curses, to evil sorcery, and Kurt Russell’s 1980's peak hairdo, we’re diving deep into the chaos, like a little old basket case on wheels...

In this episode we celebrate two milestones: the 63rd birthday of the one and only Tom Cruise, and the 25th Anniversary of the John Woo directed "Mission: Impossible 2." 

Back for her 5th appearance is Producer/Writer/Director Samantha Garcia, returning to defend "M:I 2’s" slow-motion, doves, and the thinly veiled homoerotic love squared plot involving Ethan Hunt, Nyah Hall, Sean Ambrose, and Ambrose's sulking love-sick sidekick, Hugh Stamp. 

With two-thirds of our hosts loathing its ridiculous plot, early-2000s absurdities, and awkward shampoo-commercial romance, Mission: Impossible 2 stands as a fascinating relic of blockbuster excess, and love it or hate it, we’re driving motorcycle first into every slow-motion, leather-clad, sexually tense moment.

After a short hiatus, "90mins On Film returns!" Celebrating the 20th Anniversary of 'Batman Begins,'  we'll examine how Christopher Nolan’s grounded, gritty reboot (starring Christian Bale, Liam Neeson, Michael Caine, and Morgan Freeman), reshaped the superhero movie landscape, launched the acclaimed Dark Knight Trilogy, gave birth to the now defunct DCU, and influenced everything from Marvel’s cinematic ambitions, to modern action filmmaking.
