    The Crush (1993) starring Alicia Silverstone, Cary Elwes, and Jennifer Rubin

    A lonely newcomer to a preppy neighborhood in Seattle, 28-year-old journalist Nick (played by Cary Elwes of The Princess Bride) finds it flattering that his landlord's 14-year-old daughter Adrian (played by Alicia Silverstone in her first film role ever) has taken an interest in him. Rather than putting an end to the “crush” by having an honest and frank conversation with her, he decides to lead her on and the relationship spins into extraordinarily creepy territory. With a nauseating plot and main character who can only be described as deeply unsettling, the film culminates in a third act that has you rooting for the bad guy… or girl. The hosts discuss Kubrick's Lolita, the director's lawsuit, and Silverstone's early acting chops and career as the ultimate rich-girl teenager.  For a podcast that combines Kate and Stevies' two great loves: ASTROLOGY and CINEMA, listen to their new podcast CINEMASTROLOGY, an astrological journey that guides audiences to navigate their lives and (most importantly) their movie queue.

    The hosts discuss the 1996 supernatural romantic-drama Phenomenon in The Shiterion Collection's very special John Travolta Double Feature. George Malley (Travolta) is a Northern California everyman living on a farmhouse, working on cars, and crushing on Kyra Sedgwick, when one day –while stumbling back home from a bar– he receives a ray of light that grants him a supernatural ability to learn quickly. After discovering his abilities, he learns to cipher military codes, grow big ripe juicy red tomatoes, and gains the ability to detect earthquakes. Things get even weirder when his powers –which are bound to kill him– are discovered by scientists. With heavy Scientology undertones seemingly ripped from L Ron Hubbard's teachings, the film was an integral part of John Travolta's hard-earned 90s acting comeback which propelled him to a spot on the Hollywood A-list indefinitely. The hosts also discuss their newly-launched podcast CINEMASTROLOGY.  Combining their love of astrology and movies, the Cinemastrology hosts guide listeners on an astrological journey that helps them not only navigate their lives but also... their movie queues! CLICK HERE TO LISTEN AND SUBSCRIBE!  Follow The Shiterion Collection!   Instagram: @ShiterionCollection   Twitter: @Shiterion_Pod  Facebook: facebook.com/theshiterioncollection  Email us at theshiterioncollection@gmail.com  Kate Santos is online at @ocleoo on Instagram and @cryinginmoscow on Twitter.

    Michael (1996) starring John Travolta, Andie MacDowell & William Hurt

    The lives of three Chicago tabloid employees are completely upended when they travel to rural Iowa to meet an angel living on Earth. Michael, played by total babe John Travolta, is a cigarette-smoking, sexy dancing, fun-seeking Archangel in this 1996 film directed by Nora Ephron. With an original movie score composed by ultra-Americana songwriter Randy Newman, the film exudes heartfelt earnestness and American Protestantism even in the more rebellious scenes. Michael (1996) is only one film in a trove of others of the same ilk –all portraying flawed angels falling to Earth to complete a mission– made in the mid-90s by big name directors. But it's the only film that also interweaves a likely unnecessary romantic plot between actors William Hurt (a prize-winning journalist who lost it all) and Andie MacDowell (a dog trainer with a penchant for writing Dolly Parton-type songs), and even features a terrier as one of the main characters– luckily not the one from Fraiser. Join your hosts as they swoon over Travolta's wholesome Instagram and obsess over his current legacy as a camp icon.  Follow The Shiterion Collection!   Instagram: @ShiterionCollection   Twitter: @Shiterion_Pod  Facebook: facebook.com/theshiterioncollection  Email us at theshiterioncollection@gmail.com  Kate Santos is online at @ocleoo on Instagram and @cryinginmoscow on Twitter.

    Fresh off filming The Sixth Sense, sex symbol and beloved actor Bruce Willis teamed up once again (perhaps unwillingly) to co-star alongside a kid in a supernatural hit. Co-starring child actor Spencer Breslin (The Cat In The Hat) as Willis' younger self, The Kid walks the line between genres, posing as a heartwarming rom-com and supernatural time-swap movie –sometimes in the same scene. Practically a PSA for going to therapy, the hosts discuss the film's conflicting plot, our own childhoods, and the star's legal battles that could've landed him in this strange –but not strange enough– Shiterion classic.  Follow The Shiterion Collection!   Instagram: @ShiterionCollection   Twitter: @Shiterion_Pod  Facebook: facebook.com/theshiterioncollection  Email us at theshiterioncollection@gmail.com  Kate Santos is online at @ocleoo on Instagram and @cryinginmoscow on Twitter.

    Lockdown in full effect and movies queued up, we are BACK! Pandemic be damned, we have Shiterion universe films to review!!! We take a look at at a MA-dern Shiterion classic, Ma (2019). Octavia Spencer kills it as the bowl-cut having, vet assistant scrubs wearing, dumpy local who gets high school kids drunk. Exploring the rarely examined trope of that person who should have left their hometown a long time ago was a rad move on behalf of director Tate Taylor. Your hosts also examine the long term friendship between former roommates and frequent collaboraters, Taylor and Spencer. Ma was very aware that it entered the cinematic space looking to laugh at itself, but the movie that billed itself as a horror could have used a splash more tension.  Follow The Shiterion Collection!   Instagram: @ShiterionCollection   Twitter: @Shiterion_Pod  Facebook: facebook.com/theshiterioncollection  Email us at theshiterioncollection@gmail.com.  Kate Santos is online at @ocleoo on Instagram and @cryinginmoscow on Twitter.

    Hand-to-groin contact, a bloody brain transplant, and a Denise Richards striptease– the gore cut of the 1994 b-movie Tammy and the T-Rex DVD was well worth our wait. The hosts take on the plot of the classic sci-fi film in which Paul Walker transforms into a tyrannosaurus rex by a strange scientist after being mauled by a tiger and left for dead by a murderous (high school) biker gang whose leader is in love with Tammy, played by Shiterion favorite Denise Richards. The hosts also discuss tokenism, Coppola's The Outsiders, b-movie tropes of the 1980s, and theorize about whether Paul Walker is the grandson of Tammy director Stewart Raffill (who also directed the McDonalds film Mac and Me).    This last episode of Season 2 of The Shiterion Collection is dedicated to the late Paul Walker.

    In the 99th episode of The Shiterion Collection, the hosts discuss the Charlie Kaufman film Human Nature, released in 2001. The list of names involved in creating the film consists of many of the most talented people ever to exist in the film industry– including director Michel Gondry, Academy Award-winning actors Tim Robbins and Patricia Arquette, and Spike Jonze as a producer. Despite a zany plot, an A-list cast (with cameos from Hilary Duff, Peter Dinklage, and Rosie Perez) and a heady philosophical message, the film was unsuccessful at the box office and unpopular with critics. Eighteen years later, the Shiterion hosts discuss the vibrant, whimsical, beautiful and sad worlds of both Charlie Kaufman and Michel Gondry, the film's bigger messages on human evolution and ecology, and, as Roger Ebert put it: “the film's screwball charm”.  If you can't find the film at your local video store (support physical media!), its available to purchase on iTunes.

    A teen psycho thriller for the instant message era, Swimfan was released in 2002 to lukewarm reviews all echoing the same sentiment– critics believed (and still believe) the film is a lesser Fatal Attraction set in the world of high school competitive swimming. Starring hunk of the year Jesse Bradford alongside blonde teen-goddess Erika Christensen, the film hits a lot of the notes we love to see in a high school erotic thriller– including a steamy pool sex scene and over-the-top violence.

    Director Todd Solondz made waves in 1995 with the debut of his independent film Welcome to the Dollhouse which is set in a world all too familiar world (the suburbs) but from a perspective never before explored– from the eyes of a dorky lonely tween girl named Dawn Weiner. Bullied for being ugly and  desperate for the attention of a hot high school musician, Dawn's world is sad, funny, and feels true to life– making the film a realistic exploration of the sexuality and alienation that awaits everyone on the other side of puberty. A precursor to the mumble-cringe at-school indie genre that spurred titles like Napoleon Dynamite and Ghost World, the film also serves as indisputable inspiration for more modern works including Eighth Grade and PEN15. The hosts discuss middle school, rape jokes, and Dawn's trendsetting style.  If you can't find the film at your local video store (support physical media!), its available to stream through Amazon Video or Vudu.    Follow The Shiterion Collection!    Instagram: @ShiterionCollection    Twitter: @Shiterion_Pod    Facebook: facebook.com/theshiterioncollection    Email us [at]  theshiterioncollection@gmail.com.    Kate Santos is online [at] @ocleoo on Instagram and @cryinginmoscow on Twitter.   Stevie Anderson is rolling as @spaghetti_witch on IG and @spaghetti_witch on Twitter.

    Post-college graduation quarter-life crisis intellectual chatty comedies were at their height in the mid-1990s with directors like Noah Baumbach and Whit Stillman pioneering the genre. Another genre was simultaneously emerging– the “angst generation” life-after-punk rock films that chronicled 20-somethings disillusioned with their futures. Glory Daze is a 1996 film that attempts to combine both movements, and fails horrendously. A talented cast (along with some stragglers) led Ben Affleck, the film follows a group of graduating party boys in their adventures in sex, booze, and becoming slackers. Featuring a great soundtrack (with a few terrible songs about poop), the film succeeds in bringing up serious issues but the writing lacks the depth to bring any of those issues into focus. The hosts discuss toxic masculinity, Sam Rockwell, and the angst generation.    If you can't find the film at your local video store (support physical media!), its available to stream through Hoopla with your library card.    Follow The Shiterion Collection!    Instagram: @ShiterionCollection    Twitter: @Shiterion_Pod    Facebook: facebook.com/theshiterioncollection    Email us theshiterioncollection@gmail.com.    You can find Kate Santos online @ocleoo on Insta and @funny_cat_gifs on Twitter.   Stevie Anderson is rolling as @spaghetti_witch on IG and @spaghetti_witch on Twitter.

Witherspoon plays Nicole, a sweet, smart and curious teenaged girl who falls for the ultra-hot David (played by Wahlberg), a sensitive boy who is hiding a dark past. A teenaged love story with an erotic-horror bent, the film features an idyllic setting in Washington state, an exploration of parent-child relationships, and the show-stopping scene on a rollercoaster no one can forget.

    To pre-teens and teens growing up in the 90s and early 2000s, Brittany Murphy was an ICON. Her performances in Clueless and Girl, Interrupted prove that there's no denying– she was the "it girl". One of the last films she made before she died, The Ramen Girl was Murphy's early foray into producing. Although the film received little publicity, it shows off Murphy's unforgettable acting talent and her skills in developing a character that is flawed yet lovable. The hosts discuss cultural differences in Japan, the pre-foodie era, and the behind-the-scenes of a film that features one of the best talents of a generation.  Follow The Shiterion Collection!

    Despite its negative reviews and unfair comparisons to Rob Reiner's Stand By Me, Now and Then (directed by Lesli Linka Glatter) was one of those great films that became a VHS sleepover classic. The film centers on four very different friends growing up in an Indiana suburb in the 1970s. The four girls bike around town, talk about boobs and boys, try to raise the dead, and have deep conversations about their parents.

    Mike Myers starred in the horror-comedy So I Married An Axe Murderer only a year after the smash hit Wayne's World was released. The film, about a man afraid of commitment who marries a woman suspected of murdering her past loves, should have been a classic. Instead, it did poorly at the box office and ended up as a cult classic. The Hitchcock-inspired flick originally starred Sharon Stone alongside Woody Allen. When SNL's Myers signed on, he took the liberty to add more gags, prosthetics, and accents which seemingly dissolve into a warm-up for Myers' Austin Powers characters developed soon after.  This is the SEASON FINALE for The Shiterion Collection.
