99 from 99

The troubled times we find ourselves in now can be traced back to America's rejection of Hollywood's attempt to make Loren Dean a star in Lawrence Kasdan's MUMFORD. Thankfully at least one of your hosts adored this adorable movie about nice people and all the nice lies they tell each other. Speaking of which listen to your least favorite host of 99 FROM 99 as he bullies the poor people of Mumford. Get those Mumford hashtags trending by clicking on the links below:

Ashley Judd can't be tried twice for killing her husband in 1999's fall hit DOUBLE JEOPARDY but your favorite podcast trapped in the past will put this Bruce Beresford thriller back on trial and end up sounding just as tired as Tommy Lee Jones does by the end of it. Fun!

Have you been waiting for a podcast on Bruce Willis in a failed Kurt Vonnegut adaptation? You have our apologies as this is probably your only option as we see just how far the combined ranting powers of Albert Finney and Nick Nolte can carry this box office and critical disaster from 1999.

And so we have arrived at the Best Picture of 1999. Thus ends the podcast.

Of course not! As one host raves about the merits of AMERICAN BEAUTY, the other is just wondering how misguided does a man have to be to no longer find Annette Bening amusing? Also notice how we are leading with one star in these show notes and not the other? Wellllll we get into that a bit at the top of the show. Then we have our "fun" again by debating if this is indeed the best that 1999 in film had to offer or maybe Ron Livingston wanting to watch Kung Fu already did it better. Let your voice be heard on such important matters at the links below!

Twenty years later we are still shocked at the opening weekend dominance of Patricia Arquette and Gabriel Byrne in STIGMATA, while Kevin Bacon bombed in STIR OF ECHOES as a Johnny-come-lately THE SIXTH SENSE on September 10, 1999. Since coming in with the very late takes is our podcast bread and butter we try to comfort Mr. Bacon in what has been a decades long matter of great shame to the man. Speaking of shameful, click on these links:

It's back to school for many a child listener of 99 FROM 99 and what better way to start the season than being anti-social and listening to their favorite hosts on their favorite podcast on everyone's favorite films of 1999: TEACHING MRS. TINGLE and MUSIC OF THE HEART. Apparently one of our hosts reads these show notes (and it's not the one who writes them; he's an alcoholic) and perhaps with the cynicism of these worthless words is the reason for the biggest twist of this failed experiment... his co-host actually liked one of these movies. You no longer care but please click these links:

Who knew that twenty years later the comedic stylings of Steve Martin and Albert Brooks would be so divisive to our much beloved hosts of your favorite podcast? One of them finds the con man ways of BOWFINGER not only failing to amuse but likely criminal whereas your other host is in complete agreement with Hollywood that THE MUSE is the death rattle of a once great comedic director. It's a fun episode!

It's sexy times on this episode of 99 FROM 99 as we discuss the film that gave disappointed EYES WIDE SHUT audiences what they really wanted. Unfortunately all of that steamy action between Pierce Brosnan and Rene Russo is nearly ruined by a terrible haircut on top of a terrible Denis Leary. All of this and a late to the game #FreeJohnMcTiernan crusade is started... but we can't be bothered to take that cause to our social media links which you can find here:

Unfortunately for most people (including one of your beloved hosts) the greatest Superman movie ever made was missed upon initial release in 1999... so leave it to 99 FROM 99 to make THE IRON GIANT a sensation twenty years later. Look, if Steven Spielberg couldn't make it happen in READY PLAYER ONE... I guess we have to step in. As usual. Click the links below if you want to be a good American who likes lovable robots:

In August of 1999... everyone saw dead people. A cruel person, like maybe one (or both!) of your hosts, may make a joke here about Bruce Willis' performance in THE SIXTH SENSE but instead we rave about it like a couple of dorks. Look, even the Oscars got something right (historically this is only one of three times that's been true) by nominating Toni Collette in one of M. Night Shyamalan's finest pieces of writing and directing. So we've got nothing new for you here but we do have links:
