Interjections: The Undiscovered Decade

From the fourth month of 1991, we attempted once more to track down yet another hidden gem:

What would you do if your school was taken over by terrorists? Would you step back a and hope your enigmatic dean (Lou Gossett Jr) will come rescue you? Or will you and your friends (Sean Astin and Wil Wheaton) take charge and fight back? That's the premise behind Toy Soldiers!

From the third month of 1991, we attempted once more to track down yet another hidden gem:

You all know the story of a band whose rise and fall defined an entire generation, yeah? We've seen it a dozen times in cinema - but Oliver Stone made the ultimate biopic by looking at the group as a whole but focusing on its enigmatic frontman Jim Morrison (Val Kilmer). Will Jim exorcise his demons? This is The Doors!

From the second month of 1991, we attempted once more to track down yet another hidden gem:

Harris K. Telemacher (Steve Martin) is a despondent weatherman in perpetually sunny Los Angeles who finds himself wishing for some sign to break him out of his rut. When one literally calls out to him on the side of a road, he must decide whether to pursue an unattainable love with new friend Sara (Victoria Tennant) or continue down the mundane road of life with flings like his new one alongside the youthful SanDeE* (Sarah Jessica Parker). Will he figure his life out? This is L.A. Story!

From the first month of 1991, we attempted once more to track down yet another hidden gem:

Colonel Jim McQuade (Gregory Hines) is a commander in a special forces unit who finds himself in a secret mission to recapture an errant robot on the loose in northern California. Helping him on his quest is doctor Eve Simmons (Reneé Soutendijk), who has also fashioned the android after herself. Oh, and there's a nuclear bomb deep inside her chassis - the cyborg, not the doctor. Will McQuade save the day? This is Eve of Destruction!

In the season finale, our quartet of hosts sits down in person to review the past year and think about how far they've come. Together they've assembled a top five consisting of some of the best films they covered during the past few months. This is the best of 1990!

During the twelfth month of 1990, we were able to flush out yet another hidden gem:

John Kimble is a tough city cop who's been on the trail of drug dealer Cullen Crisp for years. When he discovers a potential path to capturing the crafty criminal, Kimble must go undercover as an elementary school teacher watching over Crisp's son Dominic and ex-wife Joyce (Penelope Ann Miller). Will he stop Crisp before it's too late to save them? This is Kindergarten Cop!

During the eleventh month of 1990, we were able to rescue a hidden gem from the Disney vault:

Bob Newhart and Eva Gabor return in the first animated theatrical sequel for Disney, as two mice who head off to Australia to recover a boy missing in the Outback. Cody has been captured by a nefarious poacher (George C. Scott) who has his sights set on the rare golden eagle that has befriended the boy. Will the stalwart rodents make it around the world in time to save Cody? This is The Rescuers Down Under!

The tenth month of 1990 was full of hidden gems, but one of them shone brightest:

Tom Selleck is the titular gunslinger who travels down to Australia in search of fresh employment. He finds it with Elliott Marston (Alan Rickman), a racist rancher who wants him to track down natives. At odds over the moral conundrum, thus starts a showdown of epic proportions that crosses the Outback! This is Quigley Down Under!

The ninth month of 1990 was almost devoid of hidden gems, but we found a perfect one that rose to the top!

Christopher Walken proves his skills as one of the most versatile actors of his day by showing everyone around him that he's the King of New York! Aided by Laurence Fishburne and a number of young stars filling out his gang, Walken takes out rivals and evades cops played by David Caruso and Wesley Snipes. Listen in as we discuss this Abel Ferrara fever dream!

The eighth month of 1990 found us digging deep for some hidden gems, but we were able to discover a perfect one:

Mel Gibson and Robert Downey Jr. play pilots who are surviving harrowing trips into the Laotian countryside in order to drop supplies on local villagers. Underneath their operation, a drug and weapon smuggling ring causes as much trouble as you might expect. Watch these early stars try to fly Air America!
