Let's Go To The Show!

This week we dust off a time capsule that tried to sell McDonald’s as family therapy: Bye Bye Love . Paul Reiser, Matthew Modine, and Randy Quaid are three divorced dads trying to figure out how to date, parent, and survive suburbia in a world where every kid’s soccer practice ends in a Quarter Pounder. Also: Janeane Garofalo steals the whole movie in like 7 minutes. How can a movie this good (to us) be this impossible to find in the modern internet, and can we do anything to bring it back? Supp...

Another of those rare instances where Jeff and JT agree with the Academy of Motion Pictures, we're on Braveheart this episode. Mel Gibson swings a sword, makes speeches, and somehow wears both a kilt and face paint, in defiance of all actual historical records. We talk its big Best Picture Oscar win, James Horner’s score that still gives us goosebumps, questionable history, and battle scenes that absolutely still slap. Was it as good as we remembered, or were we just teenagers hopped up on bagpi...

Holy schnikes! The guys fire up the Callahan brake pad factory for a deep dive into Tommy Boy, the 1995 buddy comedy that made Chris Farley a legend and confirmed David Spade's status as the ultimate sarcastic friend. How did this movie that shouldn't have happened and almost didn't end up being one of the most memorable and quotable 90s comedies? And where would Farley have ended up in the pantheon of SNL movie stars if he hadn't ODed at age 33? Brake pads not guaranteed, but laughs are. Suppor...

Hey folks, in this episode, we’re taking a trip back to 1995 with "Money Train," featuring the dynamic duo of Wesley Snipes and Woody Harrelson. Remember those days of long-distance charges and calling cards? We sure do, and we're diving into all the nostalgia. Join us as we chat about the film's plot, the unforgettable scenes, and the unique world of transit cops. We’ll share some laughs, personal stories, and our take on why this movie is a classic in the buddy cop genre. So grab your popco...

As if! We're heading back to 1995 Beverly Hills where the cell phones are worn on a gold chain, the outfits are iconic, and the teen slang is totally delightful. This week, we’re diving into Amy Heckerling’s genre-defining classic, Clueless. It's the film that gave us Paul Rudd as everyone's forever crush, taught us how to use “sporadically” in a sentence, and somehow made traffic school charming. We break down Alicia Silverstone’s star turn as Cher Horowitz: high school queen, matchmak...

Mike Lowrey and Marcus Burnett are on the case—and so are we. This week, we’re diving into the 1995 action-comedy that launched Will Smith and Martin Lawrence into blockbuster stardom and taught a generation the value of slow-motion explosions. We talk Bayhem before it had a name, buddy cop tropes at full volume, and the weirdly electric chemistry between two guys just yelling at each other for two straight hours. Plus: a very 90s soundtrack, Tea Leoni’s underrated performance, and the eternal q...

Veronica Vaughn, so hot. Want to touch the hiney! Come with us as we determine if that was a brilliant quote or if we all just thought that because we were teenagers. Adam Sandler, Bradley Whitford, Bridgette Wilson (not yet Sampras), and memorable bit parts from Norm MacDonald and Chris Farley. Support the show

The weirdest, most fun Die Hard is also the highest grossing movie of 1995, and here we go. Bruce Willis with Samuel L Jackson and Jeremy Irons as the best villain in ages. Did you know this wasn't supposed to be a Die Hard movie? Support the show

What we have here is a failure to communicate! Damon Wayans' epic masterpiece of a military ensemble comedy is finally here, and our quotes section has been really gearing up for it. Hillary Banks/Karyn Parsons is here as well + did you know this is a remake of a Charlton Heston movie from 1955? Support the show

Is it yet another culk classic teen coming-of-age ensemble comedy with a great GenX soundtrack? Yes, it is. Is it Rex Manning Day? Yes, it is. Are Liv Tyler and Renee Zellwegger in it? Yes. Support the show

Does Kevin Costner's most-expensive-movie-of-all-time live up to the not-hype? It was panned upon release and needed huge international numbers to break even, but honestly it's gotten a bad rap. It's not great, but it is really interesting and even awesome in spots. Dennis Hopper and Jeanine Tripplehorn and even a quick appearance from young Jack Black. Support the show

Who can forget that classic Sandra Bullock vehicle from '95, The Net. Where she's a hacker with a heart of gold who then goes on the run with the help of her friend/former lover/former therapist Dennis Miller while being chased by a dark and dangerous group who wants to secretly take over the world? Yeah, that one. Did she or did she not have bangs throughout the movie, and why can't Jeff crank an outboard motor on an inflatable dinghy? Support the show

Who is Keyser Soze? Kevin Spacey (Academy Award win for this role), Gabriel Bryne, Benecio Del Toro, Kevin Pollak, Stephen Baldwin all work together while Chazz Palminteri tries to bust them. From director Bryan Singer and writer Christopher McQuarrie (Academy Award win for this script). I mean, what do you say about this incredible heist thriller? It's an all timer. Support the show

From the brilliant minds of young Ice Cube and DJ Pooh, this genre-establishing comedy about one single day in the hood of South Central LA is still wildly funny and relevant. Introducing Chris Tucker, and with John Witherspoon, Regina King, Bernie Mac, Faison Love, and so many more. Did this movie briefly conquer racism in 1995? Listen and find out. Support the show

Did we predict 2020 in 1995? And we I mean Morgan Freeman, Dustin Hoffman, Rene Russo, Kevin Spacey, Cuba Gooding Jr, and Donald Sutherland. Listen this week to find out! Plus, movie ticket inflation and where Friends is like Outbreak.... Support the show

We've entered the Joel Schumacher Bat-Era, featuring Val Kilmer's one and only turn as the Caped Crusader. Also Nicole Kidman, Jim Carrey and his real-life nemesis Tommy Lee Jones, plus Drew Barrymore and our first appearance from Robin, aka Chris O'Donnell. Additionally, bat nipples. Support the show

Snoochie bootchie, b****es! Off the indie success of Clerks, Universal (Gramercy, actually, a joint venture) gave Kevin Smith 6 million bucks to make his next movie. How'd that work out? Well, we loved it at least. Jason Lee, Jeremy London, Claire Forlani, Joey Lauren Adams, Shannon Doherty, Ben Affleck, and obviously featuring both Jay and Silent Bob. Does anyone in their 20s now know what a mall even is? Support the show

1995 Season is here and we're bringing the HEAT with Episode 1. Michael Mann's epic crime heist drama and action extravaganza with an all-star ensemble cast that you wouldn't believe us if we told you. Pacino. De Niro. Kilmer. Support the show

Yeah, it is awards season on Movielife Crisis, here in the taint part of 2024. Our top performances, scores, movies, and more from our 1994 movie season! Support the show

Take a bow, Madonna sings a song at the end of this movie. And who doesn't love Brendan Fraser and Joe Pesci together! With Moira Kelly, McDreamy, and that other dude from the thing? Support the show

Run, Forrest, Run! What is the 90s without this movie? This is one of the most quotable, most enjoyable, and most memorable movies of the entire decade, much less 1994. It also made nearly 700 million dollars and basically swept the Oscars. Support the show

Turns out Stephen King books don't all feature scary clowns. In fact this one has zero clowns, but instead has incredible performances by Morgan Freeman, Tim Robbins, and others as well. Is it the best movie of 1994? The best King adaptation? Tune in to find out, this week on Movielife Crisis! Support the show

The classic Gen X movie for us middle-aged slackers everywhere, Reality Bites is finally here! Starring Ethan Hawke, Winona Ryder, Janeane Garofolo, Steve Zahn, and directed by Ben Stiller. Plus the soundtrack is great! Support the show

Anyone else remember the '94 movie where Charlie Sheen and Kristy Swanson have sex in a moving car? This is it. Also Henry Rollins, Josh Mostel, written and directed by Adam Rifkin. It's entirely gone from the legal corners of the internet, so join us as we discuss! Support the show
