How about a little wager? Winner gets the Filmshake Dodge Neon. Can Nic watch all three Cruel Intentions movies and keep his grasp on sanity? Can Jordan watch even one Cruel Intentions movie and keep his? We think "no," and that is because we are Nic and Jordan, and we did just do that, and we did not. We can't even pronounce "Phillippe." I guess we'll keep the Neon.
Also, there’s the episode-ending trivia battle. Do either of our hosts have the will or energy left to win? I guess we better ask SMG for one of those necklaces.

It's been said the set of 1994's The Crow  was cursed, and after the last month of working on our troubled episode centered around it, count us as believers. Still, despite the hardships, and the fact that Jordan's audio makes him sound like the vocalist for a Riot Grrrl band, Filmshake is proud to present its Crow episode, focusing on Alex Proyas' first film in the series, then dovetailing...erm, crowing off into an exploration of the other three films in the series because for some reason Nic watched all of them.

Also, there's an announcement about and details for our brand new Patreon, as well as our episode-ending trivia battle. As usual, there's a winner...and a loser...Is that gasoline I smell?

Just in time for St. Patrick's Day, it's an episode Nic's Irish ancestors would be proud of, as he and Jordan discuss the incredibly culturally accurate Leprechaun 4: In Space (1997) and main feature, Patriot Games (1992). Apparently, Nic's kinsmen really want to either marry a magical space princess so that they can take over the galaxy, or murder Harrison Ford.

Also, there's a trivia battle...but will the luck of the Irish be on Nic's side, or will Jordan make Nic wish he'd kissed the Blarney Stone? All this, and a pot of gold, a magical rainbow, and a bucket of shamrocks on this very snake-free Filmshake.

It's ANARCHY!, as Filmshake's two resident punks not only break down 1998's indie classic, SLC Punk!, but reminisce about their own history as punk rockers.  This episode gets personal, and if you don't like what we have to say here, just keep in mind that our next episode is going to, in some capacity, involve a leprechaun.

Also, Nic reports back on SLC Punk!'s 2016 sequel that's so bad, it's literally called Punk's Dead. Woof. Looks like the fascists won :(

The most 90's movies-dedicated merry men are back with a look at 1991's Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves.  Jordan's still got a lot of angry arrows in his quiver for Kevin Costner, but at least he's got the incredible Alan Rickman, Christian Slater, Morgan Freeman, and literally every other cast member to tide him over.
Meanwhile, when Nic isn't defending Costner's honor, he's listening with great sorrow at the pain he caused Jordan by assigning him 2018's Robin Hood as punishment for last episode's trivia loss.
But what hath Nic wrought?!
In an attempt to ensure he doesn't lose at trivia again, Jordan unleashes an unfathomable force to fight in his stead: The Sheriff...of Filmshakeingham! Isn't this a bit brutal for a PG-13 podcast?

Jordan and Nic can't even agree on how to PRONOUNCE Waterworld. How divided will their opinions be on the actual 1995 post-apocalyptic film, and its gilled, web-footed star?
Also, Nic reports back on his trivia-loss punishment, Hulk Hogan's 1993 romp, Mr. Nanny, and has so much fun, he decides he might just lose at trivia every episode. But will Jordan let him?

All that and more on Episode 24 of Filmshake!

On exactly the 23rd anniversary of Titanic's release, it's serendipitously the topic of Filmshake's 23rd episode! Nic tries to philosophically sail the seas of the film's cultural importance, but there's an iceberg straight ahead! That iceberg is Jordan Courtney's unwavering HATRED for Titanic!
Listen as one man tries to use a film as a metaphor for humanity's inescapable pattern  of rising and falling, as another man reminds that first man that this film includes the line, "I want you to draw me like one of your French girls."

All that and more on this very special episode of Filmshake!

Music used in this episode:
"Southampton" -- James Horner
"My Heart Will Go On" -- Written by James Horner and Will Jennings/Performed by Celine Dion

The Filmshake dudes are ready to ROCK AND ROLL with 1994's Airheads. Is there no limit to this film's quotable moments? Is this the best casted film of the 90's? Are you a cop if you pick Van Halen in the Van Halen-David Lee Roth split? Is Brendon Fraser wearing a wig?! How were the  Airheads-hating critics of 1994 so wrong?!
Find the answers to all this and more!

Also, Jordan reports back on 1993's Stepmonster, but all Nic wants to talk about is his middle school crush on Ami Dolenz. Back then, they called it Junior High.

Also, there's a trivia battle of Titanic proportions!

Music heard in this episode:
"Born to Raise Hell" by Motörhead

It's a Filmshake Halloween, with very special guest, Doug McCambridge, from Good Times Great Movies. Doug, Jordan, and Nic first discuss the 1994 insectoid spectacle, Mosquito, attempting to answer these hard-hitting questions: How did these mosquitos get so large? Why do they hate volleyball? And most importantly, how is it sexy to "play mosquito?"
Then it's on to Peter Jackson's 1996 ghost-bash, The Frighteners.  It would be impossible to briefly list the questions we have for this one. You're just going to have to listen. Seriously, though, why can't Michael J Fox drive?

Catch Doug on the awesome Good Times Great Movies here: https://goodtimesgreatmovies.com/

"Intro/Titles" -- Danny Elfman
