In the final episode of "The Movies of 1999" Jason and Craig discover a portal into the mind of Charlie Kaufman in Spike Jonze's amazing directorial debut "Being John Malkovich" before discovering Gonzo filmmaking by delving into the work of Jim Henson in the ultimately shallow but surprisingly funky "Muppets From Space". See you at the movies!

This week Jason and Craig go fishing deep in Mississippi in a fruitless attempt to prepare some catfish enchiladas and end up watching Robert Altman's charming "Cookie's Fortune" instead, before driving their speedboat down the Thames collecting double entendres from every direction in the formulaic and heavily millennial "The World is Not Enough". See you at the movies!

This week Jason and Craig travel back an extra 25 years to the sensual moodiness of 1974 suburban Detroit in Sophia Coppola's impressive directorial debut "The Virgin Suicides" before travelling back even further in time to the very popular yet historically inaccurate bardwashing tale of "Shakespeare in Love".  See you at the movies!
