Movielife Crisis

Another of those rare instances where Jeff and JT agree with the Academy of Motion Pictures, we're on Braveheart this episode. Mel Gibson swings a sword, makes speeches, and somehow wears both a kilt and face paint, in defiance of all actual historical records. We talk its big Best Picture Oscar win, James Horner’s score that still gives us goosebumps, questionable history, and battle scenes that absolutely still slap. Was it as good as we remembered, or were we just teenagers hopped up on bagpipes and adrenaline?

Holy schnikes! The guys fire up the Callahan brake pad factory for a deep dive into Tommy Boy, the 1995 buddy comedy that made Chris Farley a legend and confirmed David Spade's status as the ultimate sarcastic friend. 

How did this movie that shouldn't have happened and almost didn't end up being one of the most memorable and quotable 90s comedies? And where would Farley have ended up in the pantheon of SNL movie stars if he hadn't ODed at age 33? Brake pads not guaranteed, but laughs are.

Hey folks, in this episode, we’re taking a trip back to 1995 with "Money Train," featuring the dynamic duo of Wesley Snipes and Woody Harrelson. Remember those days of long-distance charges and calling cards? We sure do, and we're diving into all the nostalgia. Join us as we chat about the film's plot, the unforgettable scenes, and the unique world of transit cops. We’ll share some laughs, personal stories, and our take on why this movie is a classic in the buddy cop genre. So grab your popcorn and hop on board for a fun ride through 90s cinema!

As if! We're heading back to 1995 Beverly Hills where the cell phones are worn on a gold chain, the outfits are iconic, and the teen slang is totally delightful. This week, we’re diving into Amy Heckerling’s genre-defining classic, Clueless. It's the film that gave us Paul Rudd as everyone's forever crush, taught us how to use “sporadically” in a sentence, and somehow made traffic school charming. 

We break down Alicia Silverstone’s star turn as Cher Horowitz: high school queen, matchmaking hobbyist, and the most lovable airhead with a heart of gold since... well, ever. Also, step-sibling incest: cancel, or just weird? So dust off your plaid skirts, log off AOL, and roll with the homies—it's Clueless time.

Mike Lowrey and Marcus Burnett are on the case—and so are we. This week, we’re diving into the 1995 action-comedy that launched Will Smith and Martin Lawrence into blockbuster stardom and taught a generation the value of slow-motion explosions. We talk Bayhem before it had a name, buddy cop tropes at full volume, and the weirdly electric chemistry between two guys just yelling at each other for two straight hours. Plus: a very 90s soundtrack, Tea Leoni’s underrated performance, and the eternal question—what IS Mike Lowrey’s actual job?

Come for the nostalgia, stay for the hot takes, and remember: “That’s how you drive! That’s how you drive!”

Michael Bay's feature debut, Will Smith's intro to movie-stardom, and Simpson and Bruckheimer's golden hour run continues this week on Movielife Crisis.

Veronica Vaughn, so hot. Want to touch the hiney!  

Come with us as we determine if that was a brilliant quote or if we all just thought that because we were teenagers.

The weirdest, most fun Die Hard is also the highest grossing movie of 1995, and here we go. 

Bruce Willis with Samuel L Jackson and Jeremy Irons as the best villain in ages.

Did you know this wasn't supposed to be a Die Hard movie?

What we have here is a failure to communicate!

Damon Wayans' epic masterpiece of a military ensemble comedy is finally here, and our quotes section has been really gearing up for it. 

Hillary Banks/Karyn Parsons is here as well + did you know this is a remake of a Charlton Heston movie from 1955?

Does Kevin Costner's most-expensive-movie-of-all-time live up to the not-hype? It was panned upon release and needed huge international numbers to break even, but honestly it's gotten a bad rap. It's not great, but it is really interesting and even awesome in spots. Dennis Hopper and Jeanine Tripplehorn and even a quick appearance from young Jack Black.
