    Oct 29 2024
    It’s the perfect time of the year to release a Wes Craven film, right? Well, yes, but it’s his only non-horror film he’s ever directed, and Shane expresses how much he enjoys it. This is followed by a discussion about the unique brilliance of “Being John Malkovich”, before we end the episode with a long and angry rant about how much Shane hates the remake of “House on Haunted Hill”.

    Oct 22 2024
    In the busiest weekend of 1999, Shane takes a look at the seven films that were all released. This weekend was all over the place with killer wives and killer bats, transphobia and bad gay jokes, as well as an insomniac Nic Cage on drugs, drunk young adults making poor choices, and finally, one amazingly well done film about friendships and relationships.

    Shane Talks '99: October 15th, 1999
    Oct 15 2024

    What a great weekend for Shane to praise all three films that were released. First up is the most Non-David Lynch film that David Lynch ever made, and it’s an amazing character study on the power of human connections. Second is a great film that deals with the sensitive topic of divorce – so Shane tries to get through that conversation. Finally, Shane praises “Fight Club” for its importance to the men of Gen X.

    Shane takes a look at two films that I had hopes would turn out better than they were. Harrison Ford and Kristin Scott Thomas completely lack any chemistry in “Random Hearts” and Mary Catherine Gallagher gets her own full-length feature film. Shane does manage to find some good things to discuss amidst these disappointments.

    It’s a big week in 1999, as four great films were all released on the same weekend. Shane starts with “Three Kings” before transitioning into “American Beauty”. Then he breaks down his love of “Mystery, Alaska” both in 1999 and present day – and how the movie hits him differently now than it originally did. Finally, we wrap up with another example how amazing 1999 was for teen romance, when Shane discusses “Drive Me Crazy”.

    It's an October episode, and this year, the guys do a double feature of horror content. But first, the guys play catch up, as it's been a while since they hung out, and they have some films, television, and trailers to discuss with each. Once they get onto the horror topic, they start by selecting their favorite horror films by decade, before switching over to discussing the horror comedy genre.
