Send us a textThe fine points: diplomacy, compassion, standards, manners, tradition... that's what we're reaching toward. Oh, Filmshake may stumble along the way, but at least we're finally covering 1990's Gremlins 2! It's a full scale panic. Are you having a run on the banks there yet? Well, it's rather brutal here. We're advising our clients to put everything they've got into canned food and shotguns! And listen to Filmshake!We also talk our punishment film, 1990's A Gnome Named Gnorm, which is apparently full of bobos, roundies, and nut shots.

Send us a textLions! Tigers! Filmshake! Oh my! We're in town with a few days to kill, and we're talking 1990's Predator 2. Does it even deserve to be mentioned in the same breath as Predator 1? Should we even live in a world where we have to say Predator 1? Speaking of out of this world, the villain in our punishment film, 1990s I Come In Peace (Dark Angel), repeats the title throughout the movie, a movie we talk about for so long in the intro to this episode, it made the marquee.

Send us a textFilmshake is Wild at Heart and Weird on Top! But if you've listened to us for even five minutes you already knew that. This episode, we're talking 1990s David Lynch quasi-road movie, Wild at Heart. It's got Filmshake favorites, Nicolas Cage and Laura Dern, but do we like it? Well, one of us thinks it's..."yucky." And fair warning: he says "yucky" about this movie as many times as Lynch references The Wizard of Oz IN this movie. We also talk our punishment film, 1990's Nuns on the Run. Just who are these nuns, and why are they on the run, anyway? Only one way to find out! Watch the movie? No, that's yucky!

Send us a textFilmshake's year of 1999 ends with one of 1999's final releases, The Green Mile. Your hosts were so emotionally devastated by this film 25 years ago that they haven't had the heart to venture back to it...until now. But this isn't just an episode on The Green Mile...it's a culmination of everything Filmshake has done this year...which means it's time for one more cell-rattling argument! But before your hosts can fight over anything, they have to discuss this episode's punishment film: the incredible, incredibly bad 1999 Mortal Kombat-inspired "techno-future" softcore and swords adaptation of Beowulf! It's two movies that will inspire two completely different uses of tissues...and it's only on Filmshake!Music Heard This Episode"The Green Mile" -- Thomas Newman"Circus Mouse" -- Thomas Newman"Coffey on the Mile" -- Thomas Newman"End Credits" -- Thomas Newman"Western Eyes" -- PortisheadIntro music - "If" by Broke For FreeConnect with us!PatreonTwitterFacebookEmailLinktr.eeLetterboxd - Nic & JordanThe Nicsperiment

Send us a textJordan and Nic return to unwrap 1999s The Mummy. However, it seems that they'd much rather unwrap Rachel Weisz!

Marvel as they somehow discuss Rachel Weisz Esquire Magazine covers almost as much as the actual film! Sure, they talk about The Mummy...and it's not too great sequel, 2001's The Mummy Returns...but Rachel Weisz is also in The Mummy Returns!

Send us a textThe name's The 90s Movies Podcast. Filmshake, The 90s Movies Podcast. And if you expect us to talk, you're in luck because we're back and talking 1999s Bond film The World Is Not Enough, and it's shocking, positively shocking. To kick things off though, we quickly recap our dreadful punishment film that most definitely does not have the Midas touch, 1999s exorable North Korean animated flick, The Legend of the Titanic, one of the worst films ever made. Then we move on to our perfectly rounded conversation on Pierce Brosnan's third outing as the legendary James Bond. Sound too good to be true?

Send us a textGet ready for the touching story of a podcast and his right hand because this episode, Filmshake is talking 1999's horror comedy, Idle Hands. We're split on this episode like two stoners over the last hit, resulting in one of the funniest arguments we've ever had: is Idle Hands dumb on purpose, or is it just dumb? All that arguing gave us the munchies, so for a few minutes we also (mildly, and at a few times forgetting our point) argued about that same year's Teaching Mrs. Tingle. Then we fell asleep.Music Heard This Episode:"Idle Hands Theme" -- Graeme Revell"Dragula" -- Rob Zombie (Hot Rod Herman Remix)"I Wanna Be Sedated -- The Offspring (Ramones Cover)"Push It" -- Static-XIntro music - "If" by Broke For FreeConnect with us!PatreonTwitterFacebookEmailLinktr.eeLetterboxd - Nic & JordanThe Nicsperiment

Send us a textWho killed JFK? What really happened at Area 51? Why are they putting Fluoride in our water? Will anyone ever create the perfect 90s Movies Podcast? Yes, Filmshake did, and this time out, we're covering 1999's conspiracy-minded Jeff Bridges and Tim Robbins-starring Arlington Road! Was Lee Harvey Oswald a patsy? Are aliens real? Is the water supply doing unspeakable things to our biology? We don't know, but we also talk 1999's Kirsten Dunst and Michelle Williams-starring Dick for a few minutes too, engaging in the type of conversation about a movie called Dick that you'd expect from two individuals at our maturity level.It's the episode THEY don't want you to hear!Only on Filmshake!"Lament for Leah" -- by Angelo Badalamenti"Bloody Boy/Neon Reprise" -- by Angelo Badalamenti and S.

We see dead people, and now we're arguing about them!  1999's The Sixth Sense is one of Nic's all time favorite films. Jordan thinks it's a middling affair. In our longest episode ever, the twist is that your two 90's fanatics are coming for each other's heads. Like two angry ghosts, locked in a cupboard, we claw and scratch each other wildly, until we finally get tired and move on to the spirit realm. But before that, we actually agree for a few minutes on our punishment film, 1999's Stir of Echoes, which is no punishment to us!Music Heard This Episode"Empty Couch" -- James Newton Howard"Suicide Ghost" -- James Newton Howard"Run to the Church" -- James Newton Howard"Malcom's Story/Cole's Secret" -- James Newton Howard"Kyra's Tape" -- James Newton Howard"Malcom Is Dead" -- James Newton Howard"End Credits" -- James Newton HowardIntro music - "If" by Broke For FreeConnect with us!PatreonTwitterFacebookEmailLinktr.eeLetterboxd - Nic & JordanThe Nicsperiment

It's one of those days when it's a minute away from snowing and there's this electricity in the air, you can almost hear Filmshake, right? We're  just dancing with you, talking 1999's American Beauty, like a little kid, begging you to play with it. For two hours. This is the day you might realize that this entire movie might not be as good as you remember, and this incredibly benevolent force, i.e. Filmshake, wants you to know there is no reason to be afraid, ever. Video's a poor excuse, we know, which is why you should listen to us instead. We help you remember the 90s...you need to remember...the 90s. Sometimes there's so much 90s in the world, we feel like we can't take it, and our heart is just going to cave in. Also, for a minute, we choke the bishop about our punishment movie, 1999's In Dreams.

Our hat is like a shark's fin, so we're covering 1999's Deep Blue Sea! There's other fish in the sea, but Barracudas ain't equal to us as we gush over Renny Harlin's direction and LL Cool J's action hero turn like blood spouting out of a gory stump. When your Titanic sinks we're the one you're gonna meet and we may rather actually watch Titanic than our punishment movie, 1999's Lake Placid, or at least one of us would.

In 1999, a 70-year-old Andrew Sarris spoke for the majority of critics about the Joel Schumacher-directed 8MM, when he said it  "...is clearly an evil film." Well, Mr. Sarris might have been a purveyor of auteur theory, but he's also a purveyor of being wrong. 25-years-later,  in a deep conversation that dissects this misunderstood Nic Cage gem like never before, Jordan and Nic reassess 8mm and find themselves at great odds with the 1999 critical establishment. But then they watch the punishment film, The Other Sister, and find that some of the time, maybe those critics were right.Music Heard this Episode:"Unsee" -- Mychael Danna"Hollywood" -- Mychael Danna"Missing Persons" -- Mychael Danna"366 Hoyt Ave." -- Mychael Danna"Come to Daddy" -- Aphex Twin Intro music - "If" by Broke For FreeConnect with us!PatreonTwitterFacebookEmailLinktr.eeLetterboxd - Nic & JordanThe Nicsperiment

You gotta lose your mind in Detroit Rock City, and we're here to help! We feel uptight on a Saturday night, the radio's the only light, and we're talking the 1999 Adam Rifkin joint about four 1978 kids who just want to see Kiss play in Detroit. But that's not all! We're also talking 1999's critically-paned cinematic revival of the 60s and 70s counterculture series, The Mod Squad, which one of our hosts inexplicably, unironically, and unconditionally loves.

Westlake's The Hunter, though mostly 1999's Payback, we promise! Except when we also talk about our punishment movie, 2011's The Beaver, also starring Mel Gibson, payback for Jordan losing trivia last episode. Can Jordan finally get his $70K back in this episode's trivia battle finale, or does he get stuck with a Director's Cut ending of his own making?!

Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean you shouldn't listen to Filmshake because we're talking Tony Scott's prescient 1998 action-thriller, Enemy of the State. Will Smith, Gene Hackman, and a Pentagon-full of well-regarded and beloved actors star in this cinematic exploration of government overreach into private citizens' privacy, and also, Jason Lee makes a brilliant exclamation about untoward things being done to a duck. Rather fittingly, yet for no good reason, Jordan and Nic approach this film as off the leash as Jon Voight with a free government pass, like this movie is the lingerie store from this movie. The only privacy left is inside your head, so listen to Filmshake!Music Heard This Episode:"Main Titles (Enemy of the State" by Trevor Rabin and Harry Gregson-Williams"Coal Yard Part 2" by Trevor Rabin and Harry Gregson-Williams"Territorial P*ssings" by NirvanaSupport the showIntro music - "If" by Broke For FreeConnect with us!PatreonTwitterFacebookEmailLinktr.eeLetterboxd - Nic & JordanThe Nicsperiment

Subscribe to our Patreon for more bonus material like this throughout the year at this link: https://www.patreon.com/filmshake*     *     *Two words: Nic Cage. Has there ever been two other words in the history of language that could contain the multitudes that these words represent? Maybe when the ancients were building the tower of Babel and the world's language was confused, there remained slivers of the pure language that contained the secrets to the universe. It's like Nic Cage knew this, changing his name from Nicolas Coppola to Nicolas Cage (after his favorite Marvel character Luke Cage). He knew he'd need to hold back that purity (put it in a Cage, if you will), because otherwise we would have built a tower to Heaven with the ridiculousness and awesomeness that is his filmography.Maybe it can still get us there. Like to Baby-O in Con Air, Nic is here to show us that, yes, God does exist, and He loves Nic Cage.That's good. Because we do too!Here, the other lesser Nic and I each choose our top 5 Cage moments, ranging from the ridiculous and the over-the-top (two phrases you'll here a lot) to the...well mainly more of that.

Join us and special guest, Chaz from Cinema Medicine Podcast, as we talk every single plot point of the film, how it reflects on the book, how it reflects on the other Jurassic Park films, as well as the music, the video game tie-ins, our first experience with the film, a trademark Filmshake nihilism monologue, if you want it, we got it for two hours! Life finds a way, and if it has anything to do with Jurassic Park, we'll find a way to talk about it!We also talk our punishment film, 1992's The Lost World, which is like Jurassic Park if Jurassic Park was not good, as well as engage in an episode-ending dinosaur-centric trivia battle because we do intend to have dinosaurs on our dinosaur tour.Music Heard This Episode:"Journey to the Island" -- John Williams"Incident at Isla Nublar" -- John Williams"Jurassic Park Gate" -- John Williams"Eye to Eye" -- John Williams"Ocean (Submarine Symphony)" - Jon DunnSupport the showConnect with us!PatreonTwitterFacebookEmailLinktr.eeLetterboxd - Nic & JordanThe Nicsperiment

On the 25th anniversary of its release, the two guys who brought you phrases like "brain boners," "milady, you've got the chompers of a basset hound," and "Amy want night tickle" are here to talk 1998's critically acclaimed World War II film, Saving Private Ryan.  And who better? Your gnarly boys not only breakdown the technical aspects of Steven Spielberg's direction, but somehow break into a Kantian dialogue pitting Jeremy Benthem's philosophy of Utilitarianism against classical Deontology. I'm serious. Filmshake is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get, and we don't even care if that's the wrong Tom Hanks movie. You also get, very briefly, discussion about our punishment film, 2005's The Great Raid, and of course, as always, an episode-ending trivia battle to the death.Filmshake: We're FUBAR...but in a good way!Music Heard This Episode:"Hymn to the Fallen" -- John Williams"Omaha Beach" -- John Williams"High School Teacher" -- John Williams"Revisiting Normandy" -- John WilliamsSupport the showConnect with us!PatreonTwitterFacebookEmailLinktr.eeLetterboxd - Nic & JordanThe Nicsperiment

"He's mean, and he'll blast through your screen!" but that's okay, you don't need a screen for Filmshake, cuz we're a podcast, and we're talking 1993's Last Action Hero on its 30th anniversary. We'll try to decide if this *DEEP BREATH*  fantasy action comedy drama deserved to flop harder than Lebron James at the box office (that joke means two things now!), or if it's actually an unsung gem, like Space Jam: A New Legacy  (lol, just kidding Lebron). To find out, we've brought on the world's preeminent Last Action Hero expert, Jackson Boren, to let us know if Arnold Schwarzenegger's venture into the meta should have been a hit (like Michael Jordan's Space Jam) and Jackson's brought a friend. That friend is our punishment film, Arnie's lone directorial effort, 1992's made for TV romantic comedy remake, Christmas in Connecticut. Does it stand on its own two feet, or does it fall violently to the ground at the mere sight of an elbow, like Lebron does? Only one way to find out!

It's the 4th of July, and we're talking 1995's Desperado, which seemed a hell of a lot cooler way back when the Eagles did their FIRST farewell tour, but now that they're on their 60th farewell tour, and Jordan and Nic are a lot older and wiser, does Antonio Banderas not aiming at anyone and still somehow perfectly bullseyeing bad guys who aim right at his chest and can't even hit him with shrapnel sandwiching a sex scene with Salma Hayek that plays like a parody of Last Tango in Paris still look cool? Let's find out together!Also, to hit on all of Robert Rodriguez' Mexico Trilogy (maybe we should have dropped this episode on May 5), we briefly talk 1992's El Mariachi and and even more briefly talk about 2003's Once Upon A Time in Mexico before engaging in a trivia battle that turns out even worse than 2003's Once Upon A Time in Mexico.Now it seems to me some fine things have been laid upon your table, SO QUIT RIDING FENCES AND LISTEN TO FILMSHAKE!Music Featured This Episode:"Back to the House That Love Built" by Tito & Tarantula"Canción Del Mariachi (Moreno de mi Corazón)" by Antonio Banderas and Los Lobos"Desperado" by The EaglesSupport the showConnect with us!PatreonTwitterFacebookEmailLinktr.eeLetterboxd - Nic & JordanThe Nicsperiment

Trust no one, except for Filmshake, the 90s Movies Podcast, as this episode we're covering 1998's The X-Files, aka The X-Files: Fight the Future.  Nic, a lifelong, diehard X-Phile, wants to believe that Jordan will enjoy this film, his first ever X-Files experience. Does Mulder and Scully's late 90s big screen foray hold up 25 years later? Also, even Nic can't put faith in 2008's The X-Files: I Want to Believe, this episode's punishment film.

Doug, however, only wants to pass Part Deux like the world's largest kidney stone, so he can talk our punishment film, 1986's The Wraith, which Charlie Sheen did not work out nine hours a day for, but did film all his scenes in just one day as he was passing through town.

It might've taken us seven years to graduate, we might have eaten paint chips and lived under power lines as kids, but we've got Ph. D.'s in 90's, and this episode is better than wearing white gloves while eating a ketchup popsicle. Music Heard This Episode:"Happy Ending" -- David Newman"Superstar" -- Carpenters"Main Titles" -- William Ross"It's the End of the World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine)" -- R.E.M.Connect with us!PatreonTwitterFacebookEmailLinktr.eeLetterboxd - Nic & JordanThe Nicsperiment

Say what? You mean Nic and Jordan don't exclusively watch 90's movies? C'mon! They're dead to me. 90's 4 life. But I guess I might as well listen to this bonus episode where they get busy each making a list of their top five 80's faves, no matter how populist or blockbustery that might shake out to be. Between all these films covered, you'd have enough blue smoke, prosthetic makeup, and K-Y jelly to choke a xenomorph! Honestly, you could do that with just one of these films, but still. Lots of atmosphere here in these parts, be it wacky or just downright dystopian. The Harrison Ford love-fest also continues strong, but which movies will be chosen? Enjoy and let us know your top five 80's films! It ain't the 90's, but it pretty dang good!Connect with us!PatreonTwitterFacebookEmailLinktr.eeLetterboxd - Nic & JordanThe Nicsperiment

What's this? A Best Picture nominee? How did this get in here?!This episode, just in time for St. Patrick's Day, Filmshake talks about an all-time 90's great, 1993's The Fugitive. Does it dye our river green? Does it do a Peter Pan right off our dam? Does it ride the elevated train into our hearts? Wait, who else is there with you, The Fugitive? Is that 1994's Leprechaun 2 as the opening episode punishment film? Now that sounds like Filmshake.Music Heard This Episode:"Main Title" -- Jonathan Elias"Helicopter Chase" -- James Newton Howard"Kimble Dyes His Hair" -- James Newton Howard, ft.

Magnolia. Fight Club. The Matrix.  Baby Geniuses? From possibly the finest year in film comes 95-minutes of cinematic  spit up. 1999's Baby Geniuses defies all convention and standards of decency for so many loads of diaper gravy, Jordan and Nic can do nothing but have fun with this bizarrely poop-obsessed patron request. Speaking of babies, our two Baby Geniuses-surviving hosts also talk 1993's straight-to-video baby dinosaur romp, Prehysteria!, for a few minutes, though this punishment film feels like Citizen Kane next to Baby Geniuses, the Citizen Kane of crap.Baby Geniuses ' poster may tout that "naps are history," but our diaper gravy-induced nightmares will last forever.

The Ultimate Love/Skate Relationship might just be between Jordan and Nic, as they rather fittingly have a rather fiery argument about the 1992 romantic comedy, The Cutting Edge. One host thinks this film about bickering figure skaters who fall in love is the best romantic comedy he's ever seen, while the other just thinks it's a rambling, mediocre mess. Will our hosts reconcile by the end to win the gold, or will their anger boil over into an ice-melting inferno?!They also talk about not only 2006's straight to DVD sequel, The Cutting Edge: Going for the Gold, but the The Cutting Edge 3 and The Cutting Edge 4...because one of them watched both of those too for some reason. The wintry war of words climaxes in the episode-ending trivia battle, where one of the questions is literally "At what minute and second mark does the alligator show up on screen in the Hallmark Channel original film, My Southern Family Christmas," because this is THAT kind of episode.Music heard this episode:"Finale" -- Patrick Williams"Ride on Time" -- Black Box"Kate Skates Alone" -- Patrick Williams"Apologize" -- Timbaland and One RepublicConnect with us!PatreonTwitterFacebookEmailLinktr.eeLetterboxd - Nic & JordanThe Nicsperiment

You know, there's something very important that we need to do as soon as possible. F...ilmshake. Right before we ring in 2023, we're ringing every masked ounce out of Stanley Kubrick's 1999 swansong, Eyes Wide Shut.  No dream is ever just a dream, but is this movie a masterpiece, or is every touch of perceived meticulous genius just a meticulous aesthetic choice made solely for the sake of aesthetics? Also, we're talking 1993's BMX Bandits, where a teenaged Nicole Kidman rides around with some bicycle blokes to fight crime. Only on Filmshake...seriously, only on Filmshake.Music Heard This Episode:"Musica Ricercata, II (Mesto, Rigido E Cerimoni Ale)" -- György Ligeti"The Dream" -- Jocelyn Pook"Masked Ball" Jocelyn Pook"Baby Did A  Bad Bad Thing" -- Chris IsaakConnect with us!PatreonTwitterFacebookEmailLinktr.eeLetterboxd - Nic & JordanThe Nicsperiment

Hold it right there. I knew it was you. I could smell you getting off the elevator. While you're here, check out the latest Filmshake, where we're talking 1992's Home Alone 2 for that many hours. We could go on forever, baby! Our four-flushing carcasses also talk 1997's lousy, lying, lowdown Home Alone 3 for a minute, or rather, Nic does, as he lost the last trivia battle. Will he lose an unprecedented two trivia battles in a row? Maybe we're off our hinges, but listen now to find out!MERRY CHRISTMAS, YOU FILTHY ANIMALS! AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!Also, this is Home Alone 2 's 30th anniversary. 1992 was 30 years ago.Music Heard This Episode:"Main Titles" -- John Williams"Christmas Star" -- John Williams"Finale" -- John WilliamsConnect with us!PatreonTwitterFacebookEmailLinktr.eeLetterboxd - Nic & JordanThe Nicsperiment

You know Filmshake. We're tall. We're kinda kinda tall. We're sorta tall. And we're like always wearing t-shirts. Sometimes. But this time, we're talking 1998's Can't Hardly Wait and Dead Man on Campus with author, Matt Pais. Matt talks his new book, Talk 90's With Me, and then we discuss these two kinda kinda shining examples of late 90's youth culture. It seems some of us really miss 1998.Speaking of miss, guess who loses the episode-ending trivia battle? He's tall. Kinda kinda tall.Find more about Matt here: https://www.mattpais.com/Music Heard this Episode:"Golden Years" -- Marilyn Manson (cover of David Bowie)"Can't Hardly Wait" -- The Replacements"Graduate" -- Third Eye Blind"Dammit" --blink-182"Paradise City" -- Guns N' RosesConnect with us!PatreonTwitterFacebookEmailLinktr.eeLetterboxd - Nic & JordanThe Nicsperiment

Were you planning on going to the school dance this Halloween? That's lame! You should throw a party in a disgusting, abandoned morgue on the outskirts of town instead!...or you could listen to Filmshake. We're talking 1994's Night of the Demons 2, where some stupid, horny teenagers decide to throw a party in a disgusting, abandoned morgue on the outskirts of town instead of going to the school dance. We also talk the original 1988 Night of the Demons, where some stupid, horny teenagers throw a party in a disgusting, abandoned morgue on the outskirts of town instead of going to the school dance. For no apparent reason, Nic also recaps 1997's Night of the Demons 3, and 2009's Night of the Demons remake, where some stupid, horny teenagers throw a party in a disgusting, abandoned morgue on the outskirts of town instead of...There's also the episode-ending trivia battle, which may be more horrific than every Night of the Demons movie combined.Special thanks to patron, Doug McCambridge of Good Times Great Movies, for requesting we cover this movie.Music Heard this Episode: "Stigmata Martyr" -- Bauhaus"Rapture" -- Morbid Angel"Black No. 1 (Little Miss Scare - All)" -- Type O NegativeSupport the show

The President recently declared the national pandemic over, but does he even 90s?! Doesn't he know we're just one South American spider away from an eight-legged army biting us all to oblivion? What about Motaba-infected monkeys that will always be there for you with a highly-contagious, eye-bleeding virus? Hasn't he ever watched 1990's Arachnophobia? Hasn't he ever seen 1995's Outbreak? Well we have, and we're here to talk about them with our bug spray and tranquilizer darts in hand...but will we use these implements of pandemic prevention on each other in our episode-ending trivia battle? Is humanity the real virus?!Only Filmshake can provide the answers to these questions.Music Heard this Episode:"Canaima Nightmare" -- Trevor Jones"They're Coming" -- James Newton Howard"Don't Bug Me" -- Jimmy BuffettSupport the show

It's our Ninjasode! Even if we weren't a podcast where you literally can't see us, you literally wouldn't be able to see us because of the skills we learned from Jubei in 1993's Ninja Scroll, and Tone Loc and Rob Schneider in 1993's Surf Ninjas! We can throw ninja stars! We can make ourselves invisible! Wait, Jubei's actually a samurai and Tone Loc is just a rapping police officer? Rob Schneider doesn't even know karate?! We've been lied to!!!That's okay because this episode is awesome. Jordan and Nic talk about their history with anime, their anime favorites, and the two movies above. There's even a special "lightning round" version of their usual trivia battle. They might not be ninjas, but no one can argue against this fact: they are indeed podcasters...and you cannot see them.Music Heard this Episode:"Hit the Coast" -- Tone Lōc"Pursuit" -- Kaoru Wada" Eight Warriors of the Demon Clan" -- Kaoru Wada"Somewhere, Faraway, Everyone Is Listening to a Ballad" -- Kaoru Wada"Death or Glory" -- The ClashSupport the show

Executive Orders state that you must listen to Filmshake's new episode on 1994's Clear and Present Danger. You must fulfill your debt of honor and listen to Jordan Courtney and Nicholas Loup discuss this Harrison Ford action flick that Nic loves with the net force of a thousand Red Octobers. Listen without remorse as they briefly discuss how 2002's The Sum of All Fears is not as good as Clear and Present Danger, then face off in a brutal trivia battle where either could end up dead or alive, as they fight with the fury of a bear and a dragon in their violent patriot games. Will there be six rainbows in the sky after their vicious battle to prove who is the real cardinal of the kremlin? Is this episode description making Tom Clancy roll over in his bed, or is his ghost recon just happy we didn't try to shoehorn Armored Cav: A Guided Tour of an Armored Cavalry Regiment into it?Listen to Filmshake!Music Heard this Episode:"Main Title/A Clear and Present Danger (Film Version)" -- James Horner"The Ambush (Film Version)" -- James Horner"Second Hand Copter" -- James Horner"The Mission/If We Could Remember" -- Jerry Goldsmith"Truth Needs a Soldier/End Title" -- James HornerSupport the show

Pop quiz, hotshot. There's a podcast on a bus. Once the bus goes 50 miles an hour, the podcast is armed. If it drops below 50, the podcast blows up. What do you do? WHAT DO YOU DO?!You listen to Filmshake, the 90's Movies Podcast, and their new episode on 1994's Speed, one of the greatest action movies of all time. We've got special guest, Jackson Boren, as our hostage, but instead of shooting him, we just talk about how awesome Speed is and how not awesome Speed 2: Cruise Control is for longer than it takes to drive the 105 in rush hour...which I guess would just be an hour?

Filmshake will tell YOU when we've had enough! This week, by listener request, we're covering 1995 Oscar winner, Leaving Las Vegas. We can quit whenever we want, but we're also covering 2006's Wicker Man for a minute too because the performances of Sir Nicolas Cage are an addictive substance.Officer, I promise, we're only covering two movies. Okay, maybe we're covering three, as Jordan also briefly recaps the original 1973 Wicker Man. Throw back another Filmshake!
