A tale as olde as time! Today's film was a 1998 update on the modern Cinderella story and possibly the must ultimate sleepover movie ever. Your hosts Kate and Stevie discuss Drew Barrymore's effortless aesthetic, the historical accuracy, and Anjelica Huston's on set love affair with a horse wrangler that almost (literally) killed her!

Your hosts have hacked into the mainframe. ;) We take a look at 1995's The Net, a film that asks: what would the society be like in a world where computers knew everything about us? ...Yes...sounds so bizarre...can't relate. We talk the cult of Sandra Bullock and her knack for the Shiterion, Mozart's Ghost, the impressive resume of Irwin Winkler, and living in the digital age—duh!

Post-college graduation quarter-life crisis intellectual chatty comedies were at their height in the mid-1990s with directors like Noah Baumbach and Whit Stillman pioneering the genre. Another genre was simultaneously emerging– the “angst generation” life-after-punk rock films that chronicled 20-somethings disillusioned with their futures. Glory Daze is a 1996 film that attempts to combine both movements, and fails horrendously. A talented cast (along with some stragglers) led Ben Affleck, the film follows a group of graduating party boys in their adventures in sex, booze, and becoming slackers. Featuring a great soundtrack (with a few terrible songs about poop), the film succeeds in bringing up serious issues but the writing lacks the depth to bring any of those issues into focus. The hosts discuss toxic masculinity, Sam Rockwell, and the angst generation. 

If you can’t find the film at your local video store (support physical media!), its available to stream through Hoopla with your library card.

Billy Crystal was at the height of his comedy career, but this movie all about height ended up falling short. My Giant (1998) tried to be an ode to Andre the Giant, but just turned into a big old ball of depressing male bullshit. We discuss the second creepiest kiss in Shiterion history, the sad reality of Hollywood and show business, & why creating a movie around one schtick just doesn't stick!

Romance and intrigue, murder and mayhem– the 1996 neo-noir erotic thriller Fear may have been a sleeper-hit at the box office but quickly found its place on the video store shelf as a scary sleepover staple. The film stars a young Reese Witherspoon opposite Mark Wahlberg, early in their now-successful film careers. Witherspoon plays Nicole, a sweet, smart and curious teenaged girl who falls for the ultra-hot David (played by Wahlberg), a sensitive boy who is hiding a dark past. A teenaged love story with an erotic-horror bent, the film features an idyllic setting in Washington state, an exploration of parent-child relationships, and the show-stopping scene on a rollercoaster no one can forget. The hosts discuss everything from Mark Wahlberg’s sketchy past to the very 1996 fashion on display throughout the film.

We interrupt your regularly scheduled Shiterion programming to talk all about the Ari Aster's Director's Cut of Midsommar (2019). Your hosts Kate & Stevie went on a kayaking trip up in the Puget Sound, and during our travels we got to catch the Director's Cut playing up in Seattle. Your hosts watched the extra 24 minutes added to the film while drinking a bottle of white wine. We discuss the brilliance that is Aster and his affinity to horror, Nicolas Cage being a stan, what a lot of critics get wrong about the film, THE BRIGHTNESS, and true creepiness that is ancient Scandinavian traditions.

Rachael Leigh Cook, Rosario Dawson, and Tara Reid star in this pre-9/11 musical comedy as the cat ear-wearing mega-label pop band Josie and the Pussycats. Although the film is based on the comic of the same name from the Archie Universe, the plot is thoroughly early-naughts featuring a cameo from Carson Daly (then engaged to Reid) and a satirical boy band impersonating The Backstreet Boys. Over-the-top villains played by Alan Cumming and Parker Posey bring the high-camp drama to what fashions itself as a light-hearted teen flick but delivers so much more. The hosts discuss the film's critique of rampant consumerism that trudges over artistic talent as well as the possible reasons the film performed poorly at the box office.

1997's Anaconda featured an all-star cast –Jennifer Lopez, Ice Cube, Owen Wilson, and Jon Voight– in the creature feature of a decade. The film follows a couple of poachers as they coax a documentary film crew into helping them find the largest snake in the world. Unlike many B-movies of the 90s, the film leans into the funny– making it a mainstay movie on cable networks. The hosts discuss real anaconda attacks, the brilliance of Jon Voight, and the (IRL) Amazon fires contributing to climate change.

Adapted from Chuck Palahniuk's book of the same name, Fight Club (1999) was a dense, heady smash DVD hit that has remained a cult classic. The film revolves around the life of an unnamed narrator (Edward Norton) who lives his life in an alienating office job only to go home surrounded by Ikea furniture in his city condo. Attempting to work through his depressed feelings (which have manifested into physical symptoms like insomnia), he attends an array of support groups where he meets the also-depressed Marla Singer (Helena Bonham Carter in an iconic role). He also meets a new best friend in Tyler Durden (Brad Pitt) and together, they start a fight club that quickly rises in popularity among men. The hosts discuss the directing genius of David Fincher, various Easter eggs, and how –despite the fact that there are so many films about men– there are few films that explore modern masculinity.
