Revenge of the 90s: A Movie Podcast

A new football season is here, so we're kicking things off by talking about one of the most insane football movies of all time: 1999's 'Any Given Sunday'! There's plenty of brutal football action in this Oliver Stone sports epic, along with one of the greatest movie speeches of all time, which you've definitely heard if you've been to a sporting event over the past twenty years. Suit up and join us out on the podcast field, then be sure to follow us on social media @revengeof90spod.

We're teaming up with the podcast Uncanny Cinema again to bring you an episode on what might be Bill Murray's most underrated movie - 1990's 'Quick Change,' starring Murray, Geena Davis, and Randy Quaid. This movie is also notable for being Murray's first and only directing credit. If you're looking to uncover little-known comedy gold, you've come to the right place. Be sure to follow us on social @revengeof90spod while you're at it!

We're wrapping up Wet Hot Keanu Summer with one of our favorite action films of all time - 1991's 'Point Break' starring Reeves, Patrick Swayze, Gary Busey, Lori Petty, and a whole lot of ridiculously fun action, 90s hairstyles, one-liners, and Buddhist philosophy - or something like it. Anyway, this movie rules and we can't wait to talk about it. Join the fun on social too @revengeof90spod.

We're giving you the red pill this week on the podcast, as we get into one of our all-time favorites: 1999's 'The Matrix'! This movie is all about cool sunglasses, leather clothing, and asking yourself if the world you know is actually reality at all. Plus it completely changed action filmmaking and resurrected Keanu Reeves' career. Not too shabby. Be sure to give us a follow on social media too @revengeof90spod.

Back in the '90s, hearing that a Super Mario Bros. movie was being made was like hearing the music of angels - until you actually saw the movie. But for '90s kids, it was still an incredibly fun ride and, honestly, it holds up nearly thirty years later as a weird, ambitious adaptation that simply could not exist today. Be sure to check out our collaboration episode with Uncanny Cinema before you get sucked into watching whatever soulless Mario Bros. movie comes out next! Follow us on social too @revengeof90spod.

Believe it or not, but there was a time in the mid-'90s where people started to wonder if Keanu Reeves really was a leading man. 'Chain Reaction' from 1996 certainly added to that skepticism, as it is... pretty bland! Starring Reeves, Morgan Freeman and Rachel Weisz, and directed by Andrew Davis, this is a pedestrian thriller that really showcases just how hard it is to make a good movie. Be sure to check us out on social too @revengeof90spod.

Wet Hot Keanu Summer continues with this super steamy movie from 1997, 'The Devil's Advocate,' starring Reeves, Charlize Theron, and Al Pacino. Pacino as the devil, accents appearing and disappearing, aggressive toe-sucking - what's not to like?! Be sure to follow us on social too @revengeof90spod.

Pop quiz, hotshot: what's the best action movie to ever feature a runaway bus that, if it slows down, could explode? If you guessed 1994's 'Speed,' you would be absolutely correct. Wet Hot Keanu Summer is here, and we're starting with, quite possibly, one of the best pure action movies of all time. Let's go! Be sure to follow us on social media @revengeof90spod.

Have you ever thought, "You know, Jeffrey Jones really should have been more of an action star"? You're in luck, because he got his chance in 1992's 'Mom and Dad Save the World,' an uneven comedy that does have its moments - and some pretty incredible practical effects!
