Revenge of the 90s: A Movie Podcast

Here's the thing: All of the 'Alien' movies rock. And that includes 1997's 'Alien Resurrection,' which takes a lot of wild, bold swings and takes the franchise in some really fun directions considering the nearly impossible thing it was initially tasked with (i.e. bringing back a dead Ripley). Definitely give this one a rewatch - time has been kind to it. And be sure to check us out on social too @revengeof90spod.

In one of Michael Douglas' best roles, he plays a severely disgruntled defense worker who has become completely fed up with, well, society in general. Come see what's got William "D-Fens" Foster all bent out of shape and then be sure to check us out on social @revengeof90spod and on Substack at revengeofthe90s.substack.com.

This documentary starring Robert Downey, Jr. remains a prescient watch in modern times, along with being a great time capsule of a movie, providing an intimate glimpse into early 90s culture. You might have seen some clips of this movie floating around on social media, but the full documentary - shot during the 1992 Democratic National Convention - is worth the watch, especially during this election season. Catch this compelling 90s documentary, and then be sure to check us out on social @revengeof90spod and on Substack at revengeofthe90s.substack.com.

The River Wild is as good as '90s thrillers get, anchored by genuinely great nature action and typically fantastic performances from an absolutely stacked cast that included Meryl Streep, Kevin Bacon, David Strathairn, Joseph Mazzello, and John C. Reilly. Let's all enter the gauntlet together, and when we make it out the other end, catch us on social media @revengeof90spod and on Substack at revengeofthe90s.substack.com.

Is there anything better than a summer blockbuster? Obviously not, and there wasn't a better decade for summer blockbusters than the '90s, so we're going to rank some of our favorites from the decade. Quick disclaimer: We talk a little about our favorite movies of this summer, but this was recorded this before seeing the glory that is Twisters!

'Heavyweights' has become a true cult classic, but it's always been a showcase of Ben Stiller's immense talent. If you're like us, you had this VHS on repeat back in the day, marveling at the humor both then and now. It's a marvel this movie even exists, and it's not hyperbole to say it's honestly one of the funniest movies of the '90s. Don't be a negativity spreader - check out this episode! And when you're done here, be sure to check us out on social @revengeof90spod and on Substack at revengeofthe90s.substack.com.

With the release of 'Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F,' we take a look back at 1994's 'Beverly Hills Cop III,' a movie that got Eddie Murphy PAID but probably shouldn't exist. But even though it hardly seems like anyone wanted to be a part of it, there are some redeeming things about the original end of the Beverly Hills Cop series, movies that are true showcases for how Murphy can carry a project entirely through his talent alone.

Things are getting steamy here at Revenge of the '90s as we begin our journey through the saucy world of '90s erotic thrillers, starting with one of the best in 1992's Basic Instinct! Catch us on social @revengeof90spod and on Substack at revengeofthe90s.substack.com.

We should be sending all the Naked Gun movies into deep space in the hopes that is an alien civilization's first exposure to human culture.
