Tom Lorenzo (You're Missing Out Podcast) joins us to talk about our second and final Mark Wahlberg film of 1999, THE CORRUPTOR.
We discuss why James Foley was a terrible choice to direct this movie, and how a filmmaker like John Woo, to whom this movie owes a large debt, would have made something out of it. We also compare Wahlberg's performance and use in this movie to that of Three Kings, where he is showcased in a much more flattering light.

Critic Darren Franich returns to the show to discuss the period/swordplay epic that blew his kid brain out of the water back in '99, John McTiernan's THE 13TH WARRIOR.
We discuss the poorly aged casting of Antonio Banderas as a muslim, the best and worst moments of McTiernan's career, and the science fiction cultural behemoth who took control of the film in reshoots, Michael Chrichton. We also talk about the wonders of filming on-location, how this movie must have been torn apart in the editing room, and why we think this movie should have included actual, honest to god bearmen.

We are once again talking about Michelle Pfieffer in her big budget novel adaptation THE DEEP END OF THE OCEAN with Jarett wieselman!
We talk about some of the larger, and more hilarious misfires in this film's plot, and how some books are best left unadapted. Kenny tries to convince Phil and Jarett that the parent's reactions to their child's disappearance aren't as unrealistic as they seem. And, of course, we gush about Michelle Pfeiffer for most of the runtime.
