Shane Talks

Easily the most controversial film of 1999, and easily on a Top List, Shane discusses the 25th Anniversary of "The Blair Witch Project". Starting with his easily access screening of the film months ahead of its release, to the hatred the film received, and finally: the legacy of the film - there is a lot to say for this low-budget, small, indie flick and what it was able to accomplish.

First up, Shane laments about his inability to find "Arlington Road" on a streaming service to re-visit the film, and see if he still enjoys it as much as he remembers. He does address the writer and director, and the projects they have worked on that he enjoys, and why he thinks that contributed to his enjoyment of that film. Then, Shane breaks down the definitive sex-comedy of the 1990s, and what he believes makes this film so enjoyable and relatable to anyone who saw it when it was released. The nostalgia pours out as Shane discusses this film, and what it meant to him in 1999.

As a spiritual sequel to the Shane Talks New York City

In the wake of Shane's birthday trip to New York City, he hasn't been able to get the city off his mind. So, Shane and Jason go down memory lane and talk about previous trips together, Jason's time dating his wife when she lived in the city, and then they take a look at the films and television series that take place in the Big Apple. During Troy Talks, Troy gives his perspective on the city, as well as his more arthouse take on the films that he loves from the city.

Shane begrudgingly talks about two films from 1999, that he knows other people enjoy - but he really didn't like either one. In an attempt at avoidance, Shane talks about Kevin Smith, Will Smith's previous summer blockbusters, the Razzies, and the soundtracks to these two films. "Wild Wild West" and "South Park" kicked off the holiday weekend with a Wednesday release in 1999.

Twenty-five years ago, one of the best comedies of our generation was released. Adam Sandler's amazing film about being childish and growing up, that was filled with pee jokes, a great soundtrack, and a lot of heart. Shane looks into how he appreciates Adam Sandler making films with his friends, and the great track record they had to end the 90s.

On this day, Disney swung into the summer cinemas with their kid's flick, "Tarzan" - and Shane discusses this prequel to the movie "Frozen" before he moves on to talk about the disappointing mystery-thriller "The General's Daughter". Finally, he discusses a German Arthouse film called "Run Lola Run" and his enjoyment for the storytelling.

Does this sequel make you horny, baby? Because it sure is one that Shane likes. Shen discusses why he thinks this film is actually better than the original. The cast and the soundtrack are both looked at, as well as some of the gags and cameos that made this sequel really stand out as one of the best.

Shane returns to Shane Talks '99 to celebrate the 25th Anniversary of the films released in 1999. Shane begins by looking at the Richard Curtis written rom-com "Notting Hill" and discusses his love for Curtis' writing. Things then shift to the very underrated sci-fi drama "The Thirteenth Floor" - which was critically and financially unsuccessful, so Shane digs into the reasons he didn't like it back then, but after a re-watch thinks he knows what went wrong in 1999.
