Mike and John revisit a week in 1994 that gave us the drama Barcelona, a horse movie called Black Beauty, a time period love & race drama called Foreign Student, the charming rom-com It Could Happen to You starring Nic Cage and Bridget Fonda, and the Jim Carrey hit The Mask.

This is the first time Mike has seen The Mask. How do you think it went? Listen and find out!

Mike and John revsisit the week in 1994 that saw the John Grisham craze continue with The Client, Disney resurrect Lassie, the BBC release a Message Movie called Just Like a Woman, and Rob Reiner's North...a movie that Roger Ebert hated so much he titled a book with a quote about how much he hated it.

John vs. True Lies

This week John & Mike revisit the week in 1994 that brought us True Lies, Angels in the Outfield, and a bunch of other movies that are hard as hell to track down 25 years later.

Seriously, you'd think that you'd be able to find just about anything streaming nowadays, *especially* weird independent cinema. Providers keep screaming for content! Well, it's right there.

And don't even get me started on how you have to see True Lies. Sign up for Cinemax as part of an add-on to Amazon Prime. I mean, sure, we're all gonna cancel after a movie or two have been watched, but at least make the thing rentable. It's the 21st Century for pete's sake!

Picture
This week in 1994 saw the release of Go Fish, Sex, Drugs & Democracy, and the eventual winner of the 1994 Academy Award for Best Picture, Forrest Gump.

Many people love the film Forrest Gump! Except Mike. Mike does not. The argument that springs out of their disagreement about Gump may be their most spirited yet!

Mike and John revisit the week in 1994 that saw the release of I Love Trouble, Little Big League, Baby’s Day Out, Blown Away, and The Shadow.

It's another summer week full of would-be hits with big-name stars...who came out on top? What was the critical favorite? How were they received by Mike & John?

John saw two of these in the theater...can you guess which?

This week in 1994 saw the release of Go Fish, Sex, Drugs & Democracy, and the eventual winner of the 1994 Academy Award for Best Picture, Forrest Gump.

Many people love the film Forrest Gump! Except Mike. Mike does not. There were two other movies released this week in 1994, too, but let's be honest - the argument that springs out of their disagreement about Gump may be their most spirited yet!

Mike versus The Lion King

Picture
This week in 1994 saw the release of two films. Wyatt Earp, the second biopic in six months about the legendary lawman best known now for the shootout at the OK Corral. Starring Kevin Costner, with a supporting cast including Michael Madsen, Tom Sizemore, Bill Pullman, Tea Leoni, Catherine O'Hara, Gene Hackman, Isabella Rosellini, JoBeth Williams, Jeff Fahey, and a physically-transformed Dennis Quaid as Doc Holliday, this epic was directed and co-written by the legendary Lawrence Kasdan. Does it hold up?

The other film released went on to become a beloved classic that cemented Disney's revival as an animation powerhouse known for regularly releasing smash success stories embraced by audiences young and old. Except for Mike, who doesn't really care for The Lion King.

Picture
Mike and John revisit the week that brought  us the Keanu Reeves hit Speed, the execrable City Slickers II: The Legend of Curly's Gold, and the foreign language darling, Three Colors: White.

But mostly it's about Speed, or as Homer Simpson called it, "The Bus That Couldn't Slow Down."
