THE ’90s Podcast

This week John is joined by Luke Elden of Checkpoint Reached to talk about some of the best episodes of The Simpsons. We look at the infamous James Bond parody “You Only Move Twice” and why the subtle humor made it funny.  We look at other great episodes including Marge vs the Monorail, 22 Short Films about Springfield, Hurricane Neddy, and Flaming Moe’s but to name a few. We look at why they were funny, why they were nostalgic and why The Simpsons should be considered one of the best TV shows of all time.

A big thank you to Luke for taking part. If you wish to learn more about friends of the show Checkpoint Reached, which features Luke, check out their links below.

After what feels like an eternity, THE 90’s PODCAST is back! This episode, John is joined by Gregg Gregory, to take a look at perhaps the greatest cartoon in the history of television… The Simpsons. We look at the humble backgrounds of a show, which was created in 20 minutes. We look at the characters, and how they became pop culture icons. We track the shows running gags, and the general themes and humor of the show.

Also we have a few housekeeping issues. Why we have rebranded to the Because Maybe Network, Where has John been for the past few months, what work goes in to a show like this, and a quick nod to one of the most unintentionally funny moments in podcasting history.

This week, John is flying solo, as he take the time to talk about his favourite Christmas movie, The Muppet’s Christmas Carol. He looks at how in his humble opinion, Michael Caine’s Scrooge is the definitve one. He looks ate the laughable notion that this was considered a risky movie, as well as going into depth of the plot of the movie. He also looks at how Caine’s treatment of the Muppets, lead to a fantastic performance, and how this would have been a perfect movie, if 1 song had not been cut.

This week, John is joined by Ben Tynan as we sit and talk about all 6 movies in Kevin Smith’s magnum opus, The View Askewniverse. We talk about each film, and in depth about some of its technical aspects, as well as the behind the scenes. We talk about how Clerks was the first movie of its kind, as well as how some of the topics were never heard of at the time. We talk about Mallrats, and how its plot was awful, but how it was a cartoon of a movie. We look at Chasing Amy, and while it hasn’t aged well in terms of morality, on the surface, but actually could be considered a commentary on today’s dating society. We talk about how Dogma is a very underrated movie, and the ludicrousness of Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, and how it all comes full circle back to Clerks 2.

This week, John is joined by Dexter Duran, as we take a look at The Secret of Monkey Island. We look at the gameplay, and how insulting your opponent was the way of doing things. We look at the characters and see why they were really fleshed out for a game made in 1990. We discuss the theory that this is a game set in the mind of a child, and the subtle clues that lead it to you. We also discuss our own personal love of the game, and why it’s fantastic, and how a circle of inspiration lead to one of the biggest movie franchises of all time.

We also say a few words about the sad death of comic book icon Stan Lee.
