The most well-rounded movie podcast returns with an episode that's sure to rack up accolades.  Within the firm-wired support of Filmshake, Jordan and Nic use 1996's Barb Wire as a buoyant excuse to talk about the first time Nic saw a naked woman, the time ten-year-old Jordan's Dad took him to see Barb Wire, and something that Nic did in a cornfield, which also relates to the first time Nic saw a naked woman--anything to avoid talking about the actual plot of 1996's Barb Wire. Jugs of pertinent information bounce right out of your favorite podcast hosts' mouths, virtually none of it even orbiting the globes of 1996's Barb Wire. Motor-boat as fast as you can to your nearest podcast provider, today! Be knockers on the door of our podcast glory...
BOOBS

Also, Jordan and Nic talk for a minute about 1987's The Running Man, mostly about how much they wish this episode was actually about The Running Man, while closing the episode with their most titillating trivia battle yet.

Hey, Bra! Filmshake is poised to become the most popular podcast on Earth by taking to the sky! ...or by covering the highly underrated, should-be beloved rollerblading teen dramedy, 1993's Airborne. Can the skateboarding Jordan "rollerblades are lame" Courtney find acceptance in his heart for a movie about in-line skating? Does Nic really think that a movie featuring an "I'm Too Sexy" wardrobe montage ends with one of the greatest action scenes of the 90's? Well, we kind of gave that away in the third sentence.
Also, we kick off the show with the non-punishment film, 1989's Gleaming the Cube, to make sure that skateboarding gets some representation too. Man wasn't meant to fly, but Filmshake was!

Merry Christmas/Happy Hanukkah/Blessed non-religious secular holiday celebration! Our gift to you is a two-hour long Batman Returns episode! What present could be better than the ultimate Filmshake experience, where Nic essentially equates a 1992 film where the lead character dresses like a bat and another dresses in a leather catsuit with the best works of Fritz Lang, while Jordan points out that the vast majority of that film's dialogue revolves around genitalia. Are you in the mood for Nic to once again bring the holidays down with talks of depression and bleak darkness? Can Jordan ever get him to stop talking? You've got to listen to the most Filmshake episode of Filmshake ever!
Also, we talk for a few moments about 1990's Captain America, which...isn't as good as Tim Burton's Batman Returns...or most movies. And last but not least, we're joined by another special guest for the episode-ending trivia battle. It's gonna be a hot time on the cold town tonight...and we do have a dark side.

Stardate...2021...Jordan Courtney and Nicholas Loup watch 1991's...Star Trek VI...The Undiscovered Country. One of the two is a Trekkie, but the other...just...doesn't...care. Beam yourself up to some classic Filmshake goodness, even if you don't know the difference between a Klingon and a Klingoff.
Also, set phasers to soft, gauzy lighting because the punishment movie to kick off this episode is 1996's Anna Nicole Smith-starring Skyscraper. We thought this would just be a stupid, goofy Die Hard ripoff, and it is, but it's also a softcore pornography. There's nothing softcore about this episode's trivia battle though, as Nic boldy asks trivia questions no man (or...anyone) would know the answers to. The Prime Directive dictates you warp ten this episode into your ears. Engage!

Here's the sitch: this episode, Filmshake's covering 1992's Buffy the Vampire Slayer...the movie, not the TV show, NIC!
To kick things off, Nic reports on his punishment film, the 1993 Cory Haim comedy Just One of the Girls, where Haim dresses up like a cheerleader to evade his high school bullies. We then naturally segue into more cheerleading and back to some bloodsucking with Buffy. Listen, as Jordan chides Nic continually for talking about the TV show and not the movie, while Nic can't quite escape the looming spectre of Joss Whedon. Meanwhile, Jordan connects with Buffy and their shared interest in a certain celebrity heartthrob. Capping it off with their usual trivia battle, Nic seethes with a vampiric vengeance for his loss to the cryptkeeper last time. Can Jordan prevail against such diabolical rage? Especially having never seen two 80's sci-fi staples? Find out on Filmshake! We're Pert, Wholesome, and Way Lethal!

Join Filmshake, as we venture into ancient history with a 90’s Michael Crichton adaptation. No, not THAT one! Instead of dinosaurs, we’re talking the Vikings, bear monsters, beheadings, and Arab poets of 1999’s The 13th Warrior. Does this epic box office flop deserve its bad wrap, or does it deserve to take its place as a useful servant of cinema?

Also, for at least the first ten minutes, we’re talking Jordan’s punishment movie, 2003’s Timeline. Does he actually enjoy this (other) maligned Crichton adaptation, and will he finally redeem his trivia shame? They say a spoonful weighs a Crichton, and we’re chugging it all down like a fine glass of mead on the newest episode of Filmshake!

Have to fly, have to fight, have to crow, HAVE TO LISTEN TO FILMSHAKE’S NEW episode on 1991’s Hook. We asked our patrons to pick the flick for this episode, and Hook was the winner. NeitherJordan, nor Nic was looking forward to watching and talking about Robin Williams’ trip to Steven Spielberg’s  Neverland, but then, over the course of this two-hour conversation…something bangarang happened…

Also, after letting Jordan win trivia for once, Nic reports back on Spielberg’s not-so-bangarang 1979 stinker, 1941. But in this episode’s fair-and-square battle, who will be the victor, and who will have…
BAD FORM?

Music featured in this episode:

Filmshake is so cool. Filmshake IS so cool. Filmshake is SO cool. And we're covering 1993's True Romance, directed by Tony Scott and written by, apparently the man who killed Nic's dog, Quentin Tarantino. If you were around in the 25th Frame days, you know what you're in for. If you weren't, and you love Quentin Tarantino like Alabama loves Clarence, then just listen to our Broken Arrow  episode again. That one was pretty good.

Meanwhile, Jordan reports back on Tony Scott's 1983 debut, The Hunger, before the duo dive into the aforementioned True Romance, in which Jordan loves Christian Slater like Slater loves Elvis. Somebody's got to be the voice of reason!

And finally, a trivia battle that defies all logic, and a patron sandwich that defies all good taste.
All that and more on this episode of Filmshake!
