You might be coming here for giant snake-related horror, but you'll stay for Jon Voight's unhinged performance. 'Anaconda' is a B-movie creature feature at its very best, and it's no wonder it has gained a cult following over the years. When you're done with the episode, be sure to check us out on social @revengeof90spod and on Substack at revengeofthe90s.substack.com.

The annual Spooktacular is finally here! We're starting things off with 1993's 'Ticks,' which stars Seth Green and Alfonso Ribeiro as kids on a wilderness retreat with adults who actually seem quite bothered to be doing any of this. Oh yeah, and they all get attacked by some genetically enhanced wood ticks! Check us out on social @revengeof90spod too and on Substack at revengeofthe90s.substack.com.

With baseball's postseason upon us, we're talking about 1993's 'The Sandlot,' one of our favorite coming-of-age movies of the decade. Hear us wax poetic about the magic of baseball and being a kid in our latest episode, and then be sure to check us out on social @revengeof90spod and on Substack at https://revengeofthe90s.substack.com.

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.

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!
