No one can be told what Filmshake is. You have to hear it for yourself, and this episode, we're talking 1999's foundational film, The Matrix...only One of us likes it far more than the other. That means we're about to throwdown like Neo and Agent Smith in the subway for TWO HOURS! But that's not all we talk about. We've also got our punishment film, 2002's Reign of Fire, which we probably hadn't seen since we went together to see it in the theater 24 years ago. And somehow during the episode, we missed the fact that Reign of Fire's director also directed our dear cinematic love, 1993's Airborne, causing Jordan to say, "What if Matthew McConaughey and all the other characters in Reign of Fire were on roller skates?!" to which Nic responded, "Wow, that is better than any point you just tried to make about The Matrix!"

It’s the end of the year, and it’s the Christmas season! Filmshake is getting holly jolly and celebrating by covering…1990’sTales From the Darkside?! Hey, the weather outside is frightful, so we might as well talk this television-spinoff horror anthology, featuring Christian Slater versus a mummy, a hitman versus a murderous cat, and a starving artist who falls in love with…Tommy Chong’s daughter! Who needs a white Christmas when you can have one drenched in blood, cat drool, and pus? 

We also talk 1990’s Two Evil Eyes because, ironically (in the literal, not Alanis Morissette sense), just ONE 1990 horror anthology isn’t enough for us. Merry Christmas, you filthy animals!

AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Wrong place, wrong time, same Filmshake! We're back and Dying Harder than ever, as we talk 1990's Die Hard 2. One of our host's AOL Instant Messenger handles in the 90's was "John McClane," so there might be a little bias here, Mr. Falcon!

We also talk our punishment film, 1990's punch and kick-fest, Bloodfist II. But AOL's John McClane doesn't find it a punishment at all! He inexplicably loves it! Can our other host's sanity take all this kicking, punching, shooting, and exploding partisanship? Will he also be swept away in this wave of kickboxing and gasoline? Find out on Filmshake!

Ghost. Pretty Woman. Hardware. Robot Jox. When we set out to cover 1990 movies this year, we meant the big ones. We also meant Hardware and Robot Jox. Movies that made hundreds of millions of dollars. Movies that...didn't. Still, our main feature, Richard Stanley's Hardware, is more than worth watching. Not only does it feature a killer robot who leaves behind rivers of gore, but it features themes and cultural commentary that are strangely prescient. Then there's Robot Jox. People in spandex, controlling giant robots to determine the fate of nations. Robot Jox. When we say "Only on Filmshake," we mean "Only on Filmshake."

Seinfeld. The Dick Van Dyke Show. Filmshake. All have reached at least 100 episodes. After six years, we have finally made it. For our 100th episode, we're talking 1990's seminal horror thriller, Jacob's Ladder. Hehe, we said seminal.

We also talk our punishment film, 1990's The Willies. Hehe, we said Willie.

Seinfeld. Dick Van Dyke. Filmshake.

Hehe, we said Dick.

It's not a tumor, it's Filmshake! And we're talking 1990's Kindergarten Cop. Arnie only appeared in 12 movies in the 90's, so we're trying to stay as patient as Chekhov's Ferret in covering them, but now, for the 35th anniversary, it's time to go back to elementary school with the Governator! After all, we don't want to be soft and lack discipline! Speaking of, we're also talking our punishment film, 1990's direct-to-video trash, Maniac Cop 2. This is a movie that at least knows it isn't worthy of a roman numeral. That doesn't mean we can't enjoy it! ...or...er...parts of it. All that and more, only on Filmshake!

Throughout the 90s, Disney made big bucks with animated musicals. In 1990, they released a high-quality adventure film that promised a different direction. The 1990 versions of Jordan and Nic loved that movie. The rest of the world ignored it...and its massive flop in the cinematic ocean ensured decades of Disney musicals that haunt our dreams. But for this one episode, we hope we gave 1990s Ducktales the Movie: Treasure of the Lost Lamp, its due. If we did not, at least we got to get corkscrew deep into duck anatomy. We also talk Jetsons: The Movie, from that same year. We don't have as much nice stuff to say about that movie.

Don't believe Filmshake, we're not the truth. No one could look as good as us. Or maybe we have faces for podcasting. Whatever the case, we're talking 1990's Pretty Woman, the rom-com that stole early 90's Americans' hearts...Did we feel the same...or beg for mercy? 

Also, we're talking our punishment movie, 1990's The Forbidden Dance...actually, we're talking about a lot of forbidden things. After five minutes of this, you might be wondering what you've gotten yourself into. Won't you pardon us? We couldn't help but see. That you look lovely as can be. Are you lonely, just like us...

You can't stop the thunder! You can't outrun the thunder! Grab a couple of car rentals and smash them into each other while listening to Filmshake! We're talking 1990's Days of Thunder! Actually, don't do that. We don't have lawyers on our staff and we were just joking! But do listen to this episode. We're also talking Tony Scott's other 1990 flick, Revenge! You can't stop the revenge! You can't outrun the revenge! Listen to Filmshake!

TAKE THE ELEPHANT! But if not, listen to Filmshake because we're talking 1990's Darkman, a movie where Liam Neeson's face gets melted off. Did it melt our faces off? Well, we laughed at the elephant part.

Also, we talk our punishment film, 1990's Circuitry Man, about someone named Plughead, but who everyone calls Circuitry Man. Also, Nic talks about how he's learning to live...with a lot of things...

We're everyone - and no one. Everywhere... nowhere. Call us... Filmshake!
