I Know What You Watched in the 90s (and early 2000s)

We do the investigative work of how many non-the chosen movie-related topics we can fit into one episode ... turns out it's a lot when the movie is 1997s "Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery"

Is this episode about 1997s “Selena,” or about how great the real-life Selena was (one of the few things all four of us actually agree on!)? A little bit of both? "Do anything for Salinas" by listening to this episode! A few things that we (Samantha) are desperate to fact-check: * Selena won a GRAMMY Grammy. * They did get a better bus after some fame and success. * Selena was not the one who hired "she-who-will-not-be-named" to run her fan club.

This episode is part our reaction to 1995's "Mallrats," part Jason explaining/defending it. If you miss him being the one who criticizes the movie, we recommend you listen to basically any other episode of ours

We're back in 2025 (or "20-20-20-20" as some of us call it

We may be a little “Rusty Nail” (Joy Ride reference that will make more sense once you've listened to the whole episode) with the podcasting, but we're back to discuss what scared you in the 90s (and maybe other decades)! We're talking about 1991s “The Silence of the Lambs” - with only 50% of us having been fans for multiple years and 0% of us being in the FBI (even though it sounds like many people thought Samantha was this whole time), the conversation certainly has layers. But not like in a creepy, skin-peeling way.

"Drop Dead Gorgeous" applies to so many things in this episode - the name of the 1999 movie we watched, Samantha sniffling and squeaking through illness, and our podcast coming to an end (allegedly). Thank you for supporting us and listening to these episodes even though you never knew when they would be released - we appreciate you all! We don't know when we'll be back, but we WILL be back, so we'll hear ya' later!

This month we're talking about 2001s "Not Another Teen Movie" and how much we HATED it... okay, we kind of liked it, but it's so dumb... but it was also sometimes clever? Now that you definitely know what you're getting into when you press play, we hope you enjoy this PENULTIMATE (we're not excited it's ending, we're just excited about the word) episode!

This episode about 2001s "Ghost World" was filled with confusion about the movie's meaning and adoration for Blockbuster (we miss you!). We had a good time recording, so we hope you have a good time listening! But seriously... where are the freakin' ghosts?!?

In today's episode, we discuss 2001s Sugar & Spice... but everything we say may not be so nice! That's probably not a surprise to our loyal listeners

Spend the day of love listening to us do what we love – talking about a 90s (and early 2000s) teen movie! 2001s “Get Over It” brought us joy, confusion, Sisqó, Martin Short (sometimes known as Steven Martin…) and Fairies, Fairies! Spirits, Spirits!

We had a goal to get out one more episode in 2022, so we hope you enjoy our discussion on 1999s Jawbreaker. It's a wacky story with an even wackier timeline that we're not sure we even figured out. Have a great rest of the year, and remember to be safe when eating a jawbreaker! Editor's note: Cassie's audio drops around the 1 hour, 1 minute mark.

Happy Halloween! We'll let you decide if 2000s Scary Movie, potentially the least-scary-yet-most-disturbing movie on our list, is a trick or a treat.

Happy October! While 1999's House on Haunted Hill may not contain our usual requirement of a gaggle of (actors pretending to be) teenagers, it was definitely scaring some of us in the 90s. Bryant finds another scary movie he hates while Cassie and Jason compete for title of biggest super fan, and Samantha claims she would star in a 15-minute version of this movie where she just wouldn't go to the house on the hill... and we do it all for your spooky enjoyment!  We hope it's as satisfying as winning $1 million dollars. 

Tune in to a history-making episode where Bryant has his positive opinion of 2000s Whatever It Takes flipped and reversed in the span of about 90 minutes (we know, we talk a lot). It'll make you laugh, cry, and also wonder... "Surely I wasn't as bad as any of these characters when I was a teenager??" Audience, we can guarantee that you were definitely better.

Let us remind you how great the Sabrina the Teenage Witch TV show was by talking about the less-good 1996 TV movie of the same name. And in case you're worried you'll forget that it was never released in theaters, we kindly mention about 60 times that it is a TV MOVIE.

We may not be huge fans of 2002's "The New Guy," but with the amount of celebrity cameos it includes, I think it's safe to say we're all at least a fan of SOMEONE who starred in it. Warning - we recorded this during a snow day. Warning warning - Samantha could not stop singing.

In between all the laughing in this episode, you'll find some commentary on 2002's "The Hot Chick" – one of the most entertaining WTF movies. At least, according to some of us. Bet you can't guess who the holdout is.  Hint: Their name rhymes with Shmecial Pest Trason... Happy 2022 to our lovely listeners!

There's no real defense for 1999‘s Never Been Kissed, both for its existence and for its inclusion on our list, but try telling that to Samantha... We're not sure if ”enjoy” is the right word, but here is our latest episode!

What is this movie about? Seriously, does anyone know? We tried to piece it together, but the only thing we're actually sure of is that "Razor" is the coolest phrase that never got its time to shine. Happy Halloween!

October is back, which means we are once again choosing movies that scare us; some of us do it more willingly than others... our "Final Destination" chat includes our thoughts about what warning signs would get us off a plane, a fun little personification of death, and a vocal appearance by our youngest and cutest podcaster. Happy October!

We cover a lot of things in this one (weird/bad parenting, our deep love for gone-too-soon Gary...), but maybe most important are the multiple Mark Wahlberg impressions we offer. There might be too many of them, but this movie was wild so we had to find some way to cope - no shame if you feel the need to try one of your own! 

Thank you for joining us on this very special day! After many searches, both online and in a Vintage Stock (sponsor us!), we have finally found, watched and discussed the 2002 long-lost treasure, Crossroads. Just like this movie's lady gang (led by the ICONIC Britney Spears) we too have been on a journey - #NotAGirl #NotYetAWoman 

You're going to have to commit for a long time to find out how we feel about the 2000 movie "Boys and Girls"... just kidding, we let you know that we hate it in the first two minutes. Sorry to the fans, but we still love Freddie Prinze Jr. (OF COURSE), and have an extensive list of specific and hilarious complaints to share with you. Enjoy, and we'll hear you in 2021!!

For our second and final spooky movie (for this year), we come together to freak out over Urban Legend, and also freak out on each other during our most chaotic episode yet so it's probably best for our nerves that the month is coming to an end - Happy Halloween!

Are we excited about the upcoming The Craft: Legacy? Listen as we watch the trailer and hope for some callbacks to the original 90s flick that we are all official diehard fans of since last week. 

Nothing like a movie about teenage witchcraft to lighten the mood after our last flick. Celebrate the spookiest month with us as we discuss 1996's "The Craft" in the return of "I Know What SCARED you in the 90s!" 

"The Basketball Diaries" is definitely a different type of movie for the pod, so listen as we share our thoughts on drug addiction, Catholicism and pedophiles. And in case that list doesn't make it clear, here is the warning that this is NOT a fun sports movie. But there IS 90s Leo!

Welp, it finally happened, gang. We watched a movie where we related more to the adults than the teens, and we're pretty devastated about it. We hope you enjoy our episode, and let us know if you were more of a Hastings or an FYE kid!

We are here to un-ironically discuss 1999's Teaching Mrs. Tingle, and consider renaming the pod to "Another Weird Thing/I Have A Question..." And some of those weird questions are - was Mrs. Tingle actually mean, or actually JUST A QUEEN? Do we stan?

CASSIE'S BACK!!! And it's the first movie in a while that we've ALL enjoyed - so many victories! Enjoy our socially-distant chat about 2001's not-dancing-romcom The Glass House. We hope you listen to us... more than we listen to each other.

Since "Drive Me Crazy" is a phrase we are all probably using at least once a day, it makes sense that it's also the next movie we discuss. Join us as we revisit 1999, when the biggest issue was figuring out how to make over your neighbor so that he can make the hot jock, who was supposed to follow the rules and ask you to Centennial, jealous - we've all been there, amiright?

A quarantine wouldn't make a ballerina stop ballet-ing, and it won't make us stop podcasting! Listen safely from your home as we are joined by Jason, a.k.a. "Braids," to discuss the beloved-by-exactly-one-of-us movie, "Center Stage." Happy listening, and dream as big and ridiculously as Cooper's final dance number!

Who better than a brother-sister duo to discuss the movie version of a romantic Nicholas Sparks' book? Probably anyone else, but that didn't stop us! Curl up with your loved one and enjoy our episode on the 2002 teen-dying-from-cancer movie, "Jamie's Sweater" - some of you may know it as "A Walk to Remember."

"Promise, Progress, Peanut!" ll We're getting political! Just kidding, but we are discussing 1999's Election and we fully got into the spirit of things by bringing plenty of debate topics to the mic. Hope you enjoy hearing us bicker - we mean - respectfully disagree with each other. And we hope all of you Pure-as-Paul souls have a Happy Thanksgiving!

Last week we played a trick by saying it was our last scary-time movie so enjoy this treat of one more themed flick! Spoiler alert: Boys love Jessica Alba. Happy Halloween!

Is this movie scary, or not? Does it belong on this podcast, or not? Join us as we ask WAY more questions than we actually answer, and give an iconic killer the affectionate title of "Uncle Mike."

It's time to Scream again! We really put our logic hats on during this one and go through the inevitable "How"s and "Why"s of sequel killers - listen and learn with us!

The rules to enjoying this episode of the pod are much easier to follow than the rules of surviving a horror movie - you just have to press play! We are stoked to kick off our October horror movies with 1996's Scream. Find out if it holds up (SPOILER ALERT: yes), if that opener with Drew Barrymore is still a heartbreaker (yes), and if we're all twisted enough to vote on one of the killers as prom king (maybe).

Welcome back, fans, and thank you for being less crazy than Madison! Listen as we ponder how long she's been in Crazy Town, and consider whether Ben and Madison mayyyyybe were meant for each other? So brush up on your stalking skills and press play!

The enthusiasm/nagging of Special-Guest-Jason could not be ignored anymore... today we #FreeVarsityBlues! We discuss convincing southern accents, small-town football politics, and appropriate celebration of mediocre job performance.

AS IF we weren't going to talk about this 1995 classic! Listen to us discuss our mutual fondness of Tai and Travis, as well as our not-so-mutual feelings towards this movie. And if you don't want to listen to us talk about Clueless, could we interest you in Dawson's Creek, or Franklin and Bash? Or how about a flirting lesson from some obvious experts?

We're not cheerleaders, but we are people who liked this movie! On today's episode, we share our very first collective "First Time" to watch 1999's But I'm a Cheerleader, and had plenty to say about the set decoration. Oh! And about disturbing sexual simulation pep talks. Oh! And about one of our new favorite OTPs. OH! And about Cocksucker!

Don't BRAKE on this episode of I Know What You Watched in the 90s as we discuss Joy Ride, the 2001 terror road-trip movie starring Candy Cane, CB radios and pink champagne. Listen as Samantha, Cassie, Bryant, and our guest for the third time, Jason, discuss the omniscience possessed by Rusty Nail and the importance of The Golden Rule. #FreeVarsityBlues

Today we discuss Summer Catch - we hope you're more excited to listen to our episode than we were to watch it. As we discuss this movie filled with WTF moments, our returning special guest reveals his new life goal: #FreeVarsityBlues

Do you think watching America Pie with a sibling is weird? How about talking about it with them? We did both. And Cassie was there, too! Plus, our very first special guest! Listen and enjoyably cringe with us at the raunch-fest that is this movie that Cassie definitely shouldn't have been watching when she was 10.

Ready? Okay! We had a cheer-off! Who brought it? Who forgot it? Check out our Bring-It-On inspired minisode and find out.

We put the "joy" in "We completely enjoyed this movie"! Listen to us cheer on Missy and her realistic approach to cheerleading urban legends, our (continued) amazement at Gabrielle Union's ability to never age, and our new feature, "Which Character Can We Get Rid Of?" Editor's Note: Sorry about the quality of the audio, there were some unexpected malfunctions.

How did Ben and Will come together to create their murderous plan? We did some digging and found audio of a deleted scene that explains everything - just kidding, we imagined what that phone call was like, and thought our version was pretty funny. Listen and laugh with/at us!

We're back, baby! And so is Ben! But like any good sequel, you gotta go tropical - join us as we wonder about how much money was invested into this Bahamas-based revenge plan, and applaud Ray for learning some lessons from his first go-around of being chased by a hook killer. Also, Jack Black with dreads! 

Three years ago, we decided to share our extended conversations about late nineties/early aughts teen movies. We've really missed doing it, and have a long list of non-discussed flicks, so we're back to it, and we hope you'll listen!

More like 10 (plus!) things we love about this movie, amiright?? Some we mention are our continued obsession with Gabrielle Union, precise dick drawing and paint-filled balloons. Not as awesome as being serenaded by Heath Ledger and a marching band, but still a pretty good podcast installment!
