  • Ep. 18 - Go and SLC Punk!

    Two middle-aged men try to relive the youth of 1999 cinema with the King of PULP FICTION heirs in GO from John August and Doug Liman. Then it's on to the place where everyone goes to party... Salt Lake City. Thankfully it features one of the finer performances from a SCREAM killer alum (spoiler, maybe? we won't say who in these show notes, that would be poor form) in SLC PUNK! All of this and our own experiences at raves in Utah (Patreon exclusive so we can actually make that happen) in the latest episode of 99 FROM 99!

  • Ep. 17 - Cookie's Fortune (and Gosford Park)

    A little more time traveling in this one as we take a look not only at Robert Altman's 1999 film COOKIE'S FORTUNE (as every podcast is doing these days) along with some of his other work. Unfortunately for one host that's mainly GOSFORD PARK, and unfortunately for the other host he has to listen to the complaints of a simpleton about it. A true upstairs downstairs episode for all you fine folk in the 99 FROM 99 fanbase. A podcast for everyone. Anyone!

  • Ep. 16 - Following

    For this episode of time traveling back to 1999 we play the ultimate hipster card and wonder if Christopher Nolan was overrated with his very first film: FOLLOWING. We've had twenty years to think on it (see how hip we were then and now we are just old and disgusting) and probably are no closer to a conclusion but we do have a thirty minute podcast for your enjoyment. And that's worth... something. Not much. But a little more if you click on the links below:

  • Ep. 15 - 10 Things I Hate About You

    Twenty years later two middle-aged men celebrate Valentine's Day with the classic (?) teen romcom 10 THINGS I HATE ABOUT YOU. Just like every other middle-aged man is doing across this great nation. Snark aside, although this Julia Stiles/Heath Ledger starring film is full of it, we are curious how this film plays differently from our teenage years and surprise, surprise... one of your hosts has to face the fact that he's even more of a grouch as an old man facing an ever closer trip to the grave. Happy Valentine's Day everyone!

  • Ep. 14 - The Matrix

    On this episode we truly live up to our premise of returning to simper times at the movies. For example, a time when there was only THE MATRIX and only a dream of reloaded revolutions. Unfortunately for one host this is the film he has dreaded revisiting the most as it may be a reminder of all those wasted hours of youth with Trinity and Neo. The other host sees this as mere shadowboxing to prepare for our upcoming episode on STAR WARS: EPISODE 1 - THE PHANTOM MENACE. In that way we are living proof that the more things change, the more they remain the same (especially when it comes to sci-fi fandom). Continue that journey with us at the links below:

  • Ep. 13 - Meeting People Is Easy

    We return from our exhausting publicity tour for the first 12 episodes of this podcast with our masterpiece... coming shortly after this one on the Radiohead documentary MEETING PEOPLE IS EASY. This almost lost recording (and wouldn't you all be so thankful) talks about the strange marketing positioning that rock bands find themselves in when a rock doc is produced and if this one in particular represents a mere moment in time during the OK COMPUTER era of Radiohead's career or would it establish the band's identity as we still know it today?

  • Ep. 12 - True Crime and EDtv

    This is A Very Special Episode of 99 FROM 99 as one host has subtitled it Great Directors Doing Their Worst Work... so doesn't that make you excited to hear our discussion on Clint Eastwood's TRUE CRIME and Ron Howard's EDtv? Fear not as there is some joy to be found, such as Mr. Eastwood racing his actual daughter to her doom in a teaching moment about going to the zoo with an obsessive true crime reporter. And how can one dislike Martin Landau as the most understanding father figure surrounded by buffoons in the "comedy" version of THE TRUMAN SHOW? So, sit back, and make the best of it with us at the links below:

  • Ep. 11 - Ravenous

    We hoped you saved room for a helping of more 99 FROM 99. This time we turn back to failed film in 1999 that had all the makings of a cult classic upon its release, and RAVENOUS does not disappoint as we follow Guy Pearce and Robert Carlyle in this strange cannibal buddy comedy from Antonia Bird. So hopefully you are not listening to this on your lunch break, but we thank you for your support which you can continue to do so at all the links below:

  • Ep. 10 - Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels

    We hustle our listeners to yet another episode on the films from 1999... although on this one we are keeping in tradition of this one arriving a bit later to the States, so yes, for you sticklers out there this is originally a 1998 film. But no matter! Celebrate with us the arrival of future action star Jason Statham in the movie that started his career as well as director Guy Ritchie. For better or worse we've all managed to survive their filmography, but how does LOCK, STOCK AND TWO SMOKING BARRELS hold up in 2018? Find out at the links below:

  • Ep. 09 - Cruel Intentions

    On our latest episode of 99 FROM 99, one host discovers some disturbing secrets about his co-host. All will be revealed in this episode on guilty pleasure CRUEL INTENTIONS! Namely that one host disagrees with the verdict of feeling guilt for enjoying this look at the cutthroat world of the powerful and wealthy transported to the realm of high school drama. Meanwhile the other host just feels bad for Selma Blair and all parties involved, including our dear listeners. Did we mention to give us a follow and a listen at the links below?
