I want I want I need I need more '90s Movies Podcast! Baby step to our next episode, as we're talking 1991's What About Bob? Is Bob just a well-meaning, mentally ill man looking for help...or a Lovecraftian monster who feeds off the misfortune of others? We talk it all out, but what's that? It smells like São Paulo, and it's our punishment film, 1991's Nothing But Trouble, which might just actually be a Lovecraftian monster who feeds off the misfortune of others...or is it actually secretly good?

There's three things in this world that you need: Respect for all kinds of life, a nice bowel movement on a regular basis, and Filmshake - The '90s Movies Podcast. This episode, we're talking 1991 The Fisher King, a movie where Robin Williams is going full frontal in Central Park one second, and making you cry the other, and not just because you have to see Robin Williams go full frontal. Speaking of crying, Jordan hates our punishment, 1991's Drop Dead Fred, more than any movie we've ever covered...but does Nic like...

Tell me, Muse, of the podcast of many ways, who was driven far journeys, after we sacked the 90s. We're covering 1997's The Odyssey, one of Nic's favorite things ever, though Jordan never even knew it existed. It's not Matt Damon and Zendaya, it's Armand Assante and Isabella Rossellini! It's the best mythology the 90s has to offer!...at least according to one of us. We also cover our punishment film, 1994's first Kevin Sorbo TV movie foray into ancient Greece, Hercules and the Amazon Women. This episode is so Greek, we had...

We've covered some heavy hitters this first half of 2026: The Matrix. Terminator 2: Judgement Day. Scream. Mannequin Two: On the Move. Yes, this episode, we're covering 1991's $3.8 million-grossing juggernaut sequel that's so big, we had to bring back our old friend, Doug McCambridge, from Good Time Great Movies to help us talk about it. We also somehow talk about the original 1987 Mannequin film, which is a shock, considering the thematic depth and cinematic breadth of Mannequin Two. Nothing's gonna stop us now!!!

We all go a little mad sometimes, but we've gotta cover 1996's Scream. Our parents are gonna be so mad at us, but it's the most iconic horror film of the 90s, and as we told you in our last episode, we'd be right back! Unfortunately, we can't post any quotes from our second film (which we cover first, and for not as long), Don't Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood. But we can say, Nic cheated because the only planet where that movie is a...

Listening to Filmshake, it is suddenly so clear. We will never stop. We will never leave you, never hurt you, never shout at you, or get drunk and hit you, or say we are too busy to spend time with you. We will always be there. In an insane world, we are the sanest choice...so listen as we talk about 1991's Terminator 2: Judgement Day. It's one of the biggest movies of all time, and we're finally covering it! We also talk 1991's Suburban Commando because Jordan said we had to. Come with...

Prepare yourself for a shock: we're covering 1991's The Rocketeer. The Rocke-who? Oh, for crying out loud, don't you watch 90s movies?! But that's not the only 1991 Jennifer Connelly movie we're covering. Our punishment film is 1991's Career Opportunities. But how can a 1991 film be a punishment if it stars Jennifer Connelly?!

A census taker once tried to test us. We could have eaten his liver with some fava beans and a nice chianti, but instead we recorded this Filmshake episode about 1991's Silence of the Lambs, where Nic mostly talks about how much he wants to eat Jordan's liver with some fava beans and a nice chianti. Also, we talk our punishment film, 1994's Silence of the Hams, which is somehow even worse than having your liver eaten with some fava beans and a nice chianti. Does anyone even know what a fava bean...

You have come here from all over the world because society has no further use for you. The international prison system has given up all hopes of your rehabilitation. FILMSHAKE will now be your holding pen until your death. Because FILMSHAKE is the only way out. We're talking 1994's action flick, No Escape, possibly a cult classic or possibly a forgettable flop. We also talk our punishment film, 2014's Leprechaun: Origins...which no matter your opinion of No Escape, is a lot worse than No Escape. There is no chance of reprieve here...

No one can be told what Filmshake is. You have to hear it for yourself, and this episode, we're talking 1999's foundational film, The Matrix...only One of us likes it far more than the other. That means we're about to throwdown like Neo and Agent Smith in the subway for TWO HOURS! But that's not all we talk about. We've also got our punishment film, 2002's Reign of Fire, which we probably hadn't seen since we went together to see it in the theater 24 years ago. And somehow during the episode, we...

It’s the end of the year, and it’s the Christmas season! Filmshake is getting holly jolly and celebrating by covering…1990’sTales From the Darkside?! Hey, the weather outside is frightful, so we might as well talk this television-spinoff horror anthology, featuring Christian Slater versus a mummy, a hitman versus a murderous cat, and a starving artist who falls in love with…Tommy Chong’s daughter!

We also talk our punishment film, 1990's punch and kick-fest, Bloodfist II. But AOL's John McClane doesn't find it a punishment at all! He inexplicably loves it! Can our other host's sanity take all this kicking, punching, shooting, and exploding partisanship? Will he also be swept away in...

Ghost. Pretty Woman. Hardware. Robot Jox. When we set out to cover 1990 movies this year, we meant the big ones. We also meant Hardware and Robot Jox. Movies that made hundreds of millions of dollars. Movies that...didn't. Still, our main feature, Richard Stanley's Hardware, is more than worth watching. Not only does it feature a killer robot who leaves behind rivers of gore, but it features themes and cultural commentary that are strangely prescient. Then there's Robot Jox. People in spandex, controlling giant robots to determine the fate of nations. Robot Jox. W...

We also talk our punishment film, 1990's The Willies. Hehe, we said Willie.

It's not a tumor, it's Filmshake! And we're talking 1990's Kindergarten Cop. Arnie only appeared in 12 movies in the 90's, so we're trying to stay as patient as Chekhov's Ferret in covering them, but now, for the 35th anniversary, it's time to go back to elementary school with the Governator! After all, we don't want to be soft and lack discipline! Speaking of, we're also talking our punishment film, 1990's direct-to-video trash, Maniac Cop 2. This is a movie that at least knows it isn't worthy of a roman numeral. That doesn't mean we...

Throughout the 90s, Disney made big bucks with animated musicals. In 1990, they released a high-quality adventure film that promised a different direction. The 1990 versions of Jordan and Nic loved that movie. The rest of the world ignored it...and its massive flop in the cinematic ocean ensured decades of Disney musicals that haunt our dreams. But for this one episode, we hope we gave 1990s Ducktales the Movie: Treasure of the Lost Lamp, its due. If we did not, at least we got to get corkscrew deep into duck anatomy. We also talk...

Don't believe Filmshake, we're not the truth. No one could look as good as us. Or maybe we have faces for podcasting. Whatever the case, we're talking 1990's Pretty Woman, the rom-com that stole early 90's Americans' hearts...Did we feel the same...or beg for mercy? 

Also, we're talking our punishment movie, 1990's The Forbidden Dance...actually, we're talking about a lot of forbidden things. After five minutes of this, you might be wondering what you've gotten yourself into. Won't you pardon us? We couldn't help but see. That you l...

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.

Filmshake 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.

And fair warning: he says "yucky" about this movie as many times as Lynch references The Wizard of Oz IN this movie.

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!

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.

Get 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 gives us the munchies, so for a few minutes we also (mildly, and at a few times forgetting our point) argue about that same year's Teaching Mrs. Tingle. Then we fell asleep.

In our longest episode ever, the twist is that your two 90's fanatics are coming for each other's heads.
