At the Movies in the 90s

"Remember what the MPAA says; Horrific, Deplorable violence is okay, as long as people don't say any naughty woids! That's what this war is all about!"

South Park Bigger, Longer & Uncut surely stands as the most profane animated musical ever made, but does it remains as funny as it was in 1999?

In this episode of AT THE MOVIES IN THE 90s, a podcast about the cinema of the 90s, your host A. J. Black is joined by old friend and guest, Matt Latham to dig into Trey Parker & Matt Stone's foul mouthed big screen version of their hit animated show, with a stop along the way to look at romantic comedy from 1998, Can't Hardly Wait...

"People once believed that when someone dies, a crow carries their soul to the land of the dead. But sometimes, something so bad happens that a terrible sadness is carried with it and the soul can't rest."

The Crow is now three decades old, a production more of legend than fact, known for the tragic death of star Brandon Lee while making the film. It has become a mythologised picture, but what are the facts behind the fiction? Was it really a cursed movie?

In this episode of AT THE MOVIES IN THE 90s, a podcast about the cinema of the 90s, your host A. J. Black is joined by brand new guest, podcaster and music obsessive Colin Jackson-Brown, to delve into Alex Proyas' dark comic-book horror picture, discuss the fascinating backstory, dig deep into the iconic soundtrack, and consider the sequels and imminent remake.

Plus, Colin discusses his favourite movies of the 1990s, and oh my god, one in particular you will never see coming...

"You've been in my life for so long, I can't actually remember anything else."

Alien3 was, to put it mildly, a troubled production, with a fascinating, long-term development history with many false starts, left turns and talented filmmakers involved. How did it come to exist in the form it ended up?

In this episode of AT THE MOVIES IN THE 90s, a podcast about the cinema of the 90s, your host A. J. Black is joined by recurring guest and podcaster Mike Jozic, to discuss David Fincher's flawed cinematic debut, its place within the Alien franchise, and whether it deserves a more beloved place in movie history...

"I'm afraid to close my eyes... and I'm afraid to open them..."

The Blair Witch Project arrived in the summer of 1999 as a micro-budget horror phenomenon, becoming one of the highest grossing films of the year and an instant piece of pop culture history - but how?

In this episode of AT THE MOVIES IN THE 90s, a podcast about the cinema of the 90s, your host A. J. Black is joined by recurring guest and horror author Hugh McStay, co-host of the Vampire Videos podcast, to discuss this seminal film, its place in horror history, the legacy it inspired and what it means to us both...

Britain. Fish and chips. Cups of tea. The smell of the theatrical greasepaint, the roar of the football crowd. A diverse nation grappling with its own long, complex history, always with one tongue firmly in cheek.

Over the last century, British film has ebbed and flowed, from Ealing comedy to Carry on sauciness, from the British New Wave to Cool Britannia, from Hammer horror to… Hammer horror again. Forget Hollywood - embrace Pinewood.

I’m A. J. Black. Author, writer and podcaster, and I love British film. Join me in a celebration of its quirks, its successes, its failure and its unique gems, At the Pictures in Britain…

Coming July 5th exclusively on the Film Stories Podcast Network!

In this episode, our latest Double Feature which hauls one older recording built around films from iconic stars turned directors, your host A. J. Black is joined by brand new guests, podcaster Chris Wallace and writer Leslie Byron Pitt, to discuss Warren Beatty's 1998 political satire Bulworth.

Then, in a rare solo recording, he discusses Kevin Costner's 1997 post-apocalyptic western, The Postman, recognised for years as an epic failure, but is that reputation fair?
