| 08 Feb 2022 | Episode 42 - Barb Wire (1996) | 01:08:16 | |
The most well-rounded movie podcast returns with an episode that's sure to rack up accolades. Within the firm-wired support of Filmshake, Jordan and Nic use 1996's Barb Wire as a buoyant excuse to talk about the first time Nic saw a naked woman, the time ten-year-old Jordan's Dad took him to see Barb Wire, and something that Nic did in a cornfield, which also relates to the first time Nic saw a naked woman--anything to avoid talking about the actual plot of 1996's Barb Wire. Jugs of pertinent information bounce right out of your favorite podcast hosts' mouths, virtually none of it even orbiting the globes of 1996's Barb Wire.

| 08 Mar 2022 | Episode 43 -- The Matchmaker (1997) | 01:26:19 | |
In 1847, Martin Glynn sailed from Galway, Ireland, so that his great-great grandson, Nic, could one day honor his Irish legacy, by co-hosting a podcast focused upon the 1997 cinematic sleeper, The Matchmaker, and 2000's Leprechaun in the Hood. Why would you ever kiss the Blarney Stone for luck, when you could listen to Jordan Courtney compare a woman's smile to the anatomy of a Basset Hound? Yes, it's a St. Patrick's Day spectacular, as only Filmshake can do, a veritable four-leaf clover of audio perfection. You'll be Dublin over with laughter. Yes...Dublin over...we write these descriptions ourselves. Intro music - "If" by Broke For Free | |||
| 01 Apr 2022 | Episode 44 - Spice World (1997) and Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot (1992) | 01:31:32 | |
For years, listeners have been asking Filmshake, "When are you gonna cover 1997's Spice World?" Well, your Filmshake prayers have finally been answered...with a cruel April Fools twist!... because Spice World is only the opening course for our main dish, 1992's Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot. Which of these films has a worse script? Which has worse dialogue? Which is less funny? What happens when our hosts don't agree on whether or not both of these are even bad? Is anything real? Intro music - "If" by Broke For Free | |||
| 12 Apr 2022 | Solarbabies (1986) | 01:19:01 | |
Solarbabies from 1986?! I thought this was a 90's Movies Podcast? Well it is, except on April 1, 2022, when we switched places with Good Times Great Movies, the 80's Movies Podcast. If you heard our last episode, on 1997's Spice World and 1992's Stop Or My Mom Will Shoot, you may have noticed GTGM's Doug and Jamie behind the microphones instead of us, unless that was your first episode of Filmshake, in which case, that was GTGM's Doug and Jamie behind the microphones instead of us. Meanwhile on their show, we talked Solarbabies, and we were so happy with that conversation, we asked GTGM if they'd be okay with us posting it here. They were, and so here it is in all its inane glory! Intro music - "If" by Broke For Free | |||
| 26 Apr 2022 | Episode 45 - Braveheart (1995) | 01:47:49 | |
Aye, fight and you may die. Run, and you'll live... at least a while. And dying in your beds, many years from now, would you be willing to trade ALL the days, from this day to that, for one chance, just one chance, to come back here and listen to Filmshake's new episode on 1995's Braveheart? We also talk about 2020's Fatman, a serious family drama where Mel Gibson plays a gun-toting Santa Claus with a drinking problem. Also, it's our wits that make us men, so the episode ends with a trivia battle as manly as haggis on a kilt. Intro music - "If" by Broke For Free | |||
| 26 May 2022 | Episode 46 - Serial Mom (1994) and Pecker (1998) | 01:52:10 | |
We're back and ready to stab your ears with the sound of our sweet voices. Join us with guest, and longtime friend, Jon Peterson, as John Waters' 1994 black comedy, Serial Mom, metaphorically gives us a fruitcake and then backs right over us. To open up the episode, though, we're hard on Waters' Pecker from 1998. Huge shocker, it's not as good as Serial Mom, but it's the punishment film for a reason...but the punishment at the end of this episode's trivia battle is worse than wearing white shoes after Labor Day, or *GASP* NOT RECYCLING!!!

| 02 Jun 2022 | 90s Neo Noir, Licorice Pizza, and more | 01:06:45 | |
Here's a little something extra - "lagniappe" as we say down here in the Boot State: A bonus episode recorded for our Patreon, where Nic and I (Jordan) each pick three (or more) things we've been watching and talk about them - just cuz. It's a nice hangout/chillaxing all cool kind of time. Hope you enjoy! What we watched/talk about: Intro music - "If" by Broke For Free | |||
| 23 Jun 2022 | Episode 47 - Hard Target (1993) | 01:49:58 | |
Down on the bayou, we have a saying, "Laissez les Van Damme rouler!" Ma chérie and mon chéri , in this newest episode of Filmshake, does he! We're covering 1993's Hard Target, John Woo's ode to bullets, gumbo, and busted-up Mardi Gras floats. You got to grab the gator by the tail and listen, sha! We got cousin Jason Kleeberg from Force Five podcast around to talk about it too, so you be a possum's uncle if you miss it! Intro music - "If" by Broke For Free | |||
| 12 Jul 2022 | Episode 48 - Leaving Las Vegas (1995) | 01:30:17 | |
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.

| 02 Aug 2022 | Episode 49 - Speed (1994) | 02:13:00 | |
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?! Intro music - "If" by Broke For Free | |||
| 23 Aug 2022 | Episode 50 - Clear and Present Danger (1994) | 01:56:42 | |
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 grave, 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?

| 13 Sep 2022 | Episode 51 - Ninja Scroll (1993) and Surf Ninjas (1993) | 01:49:11 | |
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!!! Intro music - "If" by Broke For Free | |||
| 04 Oct 2022 | Episode 52 - Arachnophobia (1990) and Outbreak (1995) | 01:11:51 | |
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?! Intro music - "If" by Broke For Free | |||
| 25 Oct 2022 | Episode 53 - Night of the Demons 2 (1994) | 01:30:56 | |
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...

| 15 Nov 2022 | Episode 54 - Can't Hardly Wait (1998) and Dead Man on Campus (1998) | 01:43:57 | |
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.

| 06 Dec 2022 | Episode 55 - Home Alone 2: Lost in New York (1992) | 01:50:44 | |
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! Intro music - "If" by Broke For Free | |||
| 27 Dec 2022 | Episode 56 - Eyes Wide Shut (1999) | 01:47:40 | |
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 1983’s BMX Bandits, where a teenaged Nicole Kidman rides around with some bicycle blokes to fight crime. Only on Filmshake...seriously, only on Filmshake. Intro music - "If" by Broke For Free | |||
| 24 Jan 2023 | Episode 57 - The Cutting Edge (1992) | 01:36:40 | |
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?! Intro music - "If" by Broke For Free | |||
| 14 Feb 2023 | Episode 58 - Baby Geniuses (1999) | 01:05:04 | |
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.

| 14 Mar 2023 | Episode 59 - The Fugitive (1993) | 01:52:55 | |
What's this? A Best Picture nominee? How did this get in here?! Intro music - "If" by Broke For Free | |||
| 29 Mar 2023 | Nic and Jordan's Top Five 80's Movies! | 01:31:01 | |
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! Intro music - "If" by Broke For Free | |||
| 11 Apr 2023 | Episode 60 - Tommy Boy (1995) and Black Sheep (1996) | 01:31:44 | |
Let's say you're driving along with your family. You're driving along, you're driving along, all of a sudden there's a Filmshake in the middle of the road! Holy Schneikes, we're talking 1995's Tommy Boy and 1996's Black Sheep! 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. Intro music - "If" by Broke For Free | |||
| 02 May 2023 | Episode 61 - Blast From the Past (1999) | 01:48:24 | |
You might not fall in love with weirdos who you've only known for four or five days, who collect baseball cards, and pee when they see the ocean, and have perfect table manners, but it's perfectly fine to fall in love with Filmshake, as we're talking 1999's Brendan Fraser and Alicia Silverstone-starring romantic comedy, Blast From the Past. After your two favorite podcast gentleman have a perfectly pleasant conversation about this sweet 'lil champagne cocktail of a film, they talk this episode's punishment movie, ANOTHER 1999 Brendan Fraser film, and not the one where he fights a sexy deceased man. That only leaves one film, and that film is Dudley Do-Right...which one of your hosts likes? Intro music - "If" by Broke For Free | |||
| 23 May 2023 | Episode 62 - Hot Shots Part Deux (1993) | 01:39:42 | |
Sufferin succotash! It's 2023 and we're covering 1993's Hot Shots Part Deux, which means it's been 30 years since Charlie Sheen worked out nine hours a day for months to fire a rubber chicken from a bow and arrow. Our guest, Doug McCambridge, from Good Times Great Movies also has to come along because it's a sequel. 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. Alka Seltzer! Intro music - "If" by Broke For Free | |||
| 13 Jun 2023 | Episode 63 - The X-Files (1998) | 01:42:16 | |
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?

| 04 Jul 2023 | Episode 64 - Desperado (1995) | 01:08:44 | |
It may be rainin' but there's a rainbow above you, you better let somebody love you before it's too late OR SCREW ALL THAT, WHO CARES ABOUT LOVE! LISTEN TO FILMSHAKE INSTEAD! 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?

| 25 Jul 2023 | Episode 65 -- Last Action Hero (1993) | 01:56:35 | |
"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! Listen to this episode (unless you're Lebron*)!

| 15 Aug 2023 | Episode 66 - Saving Private Ryan (1998) | 01:51:00 | |
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. Intro music - "If" by Broke For Free | |||
| 05 Sep 2023 | Episode 67 - Jurassic Park (1993) | 02:00:28 | |
It's an episode 65 Million Years In the Making, as the 90s Movies Podcast finally covers 1993's Jurassic Park, arguably the biggest movie of the 90s (all major theme parks have delays)! 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! Intro music - "If" by Broke For Free | |||
| 26 Sep 2023 | Episode 68 - Dirty Work (1998) | 01:30:11 | |
Note to self: listen to Filmshake! Because this episode is one tall glass of love for all things Norm McDonald, especially 1998's Dirty Work. Fat jokes, pee jokes, prison rape jokes, and dead hooker jokes. What is this, the 90s? We even manage to throw some love (one of us more than the other) at 2000's very dumb Norm-starring comedy Screwed. All your 90s favorites are here - Chris Farley, Artie Lang, Adam Sandler, Dave Chappelle, and Bob Saget...wait what? If you like Pina Coladas...I mean, if you like any of these things, then you'll probably like this episode. If not, we just might have to hide fish in your house.

| 10 Oct 2023 | Top Five Nic Cage Moments! | 01:06:12 | |
NOTE: This episode was originally only for Patreon subscribers, but we've opened it up for everyone. Subscribe to our Patreon for more bonus material like this throughout the year at this link: https://www.patreon.com/filmshake 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. These knobs go to eleven, baby, like no other Filmshake has shaken! Intro music - "If" by Broke For Free | |||

| 14 Nov 2023 | Episode 70 - Clerks (1994) | 01:33:35 | |
We're not even supposed to be here today, but that's okay because Filmshake is covering 1994's indie-classic, Clerks! You know, there's a million fine looking women in the world, but they don't all bring you lasagna at work, and neither will we, but we will provide you 90-minutes of Clerks-centric entertainment! That also includes a little bit of Clerks II and Clerks III discussion, as well as our usual, Happy Scrappy Hero Pup Trivia Battle. You don't wanna miss THE 90s movies podcast talking one of the most 90s 90s movies ever made! This one's personal. Intro music - "If" by Broke For Free | |||
| 07 Dec 2023 | Episode 71 - Enemy of the State (1998) | 01:38:20 | |
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! Intro music - "If" by Broke For Free | |||
| 26 Dec 2023 | Episode 72 -- Go (1999) | 01:32:39 | |
You know what wakes me up in the middle of the night covered in a cold sweat? Knowing that you aren't any worse than anyone else in your whole screwed up generation. In the old days, you know how you got to the top? Huh? By listening to Filmshake! This episode, we're talking 1999's Golp Fiction...I mean Go, directed by Doug Liman, written by the guy who wrote Charlie's Angels and Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle. And now the top is down here, it used to be up here... and you don't even know the difference. Intro music - "If" by Broke For Free | |||
| 23 Jan 2024 | Episode 73 - A Perfect World (1993) | 01:51:28 | |
In A Perfect World, this would have been Episode 58 instead of Baby Geniuses, but you've got us driving this time machine, so just be glad this Ford hadn't crashed just yet. Is Costner a god, great, or even a good actor? Is Clint Eastwood immortally badass or is he a not-so-secretly artsy fartsy snowflake? Or does he just want to make his day and get home for dinner? How much Dern can a Dern Dern Dern if a Dern Dern can Dern Dern? All these questions answered (?) and more! Join us as we deconstruct Eastwood's deconstruction of the mythic-outlaw-on-the-run trope and wind up somewhere between knowing "not a damn thing" and wondering can anything really be known and therefore is the supposition of knowing that we don't know "a damn thing" even something that can be relied upon in a world filled with such chaos and violence!!! AHH...Such fun times! Intro music - "If" by Broke For Free | |||
| 13 Feb 2024 | Episode 74 - Payback (1999) | 01:44:10 | |
Get ready for the big Payback, as we're talking the 1999 Mel Gibson revenge flick, and the 2006 Director's Cut, and 1967's Point Blank, AND the book they're all adapted from, Donald E. 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?! All this and more, much much more, and for what, the principle of the thing? Intro music - "If" by Broke For Free | |||
| 05 Mar 2024 | Episode 75 - Detroit Rock City (1999) and The Mod Squad (1999) | 01:26:20 | |
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. The celebration of 1999 continues on Filmshake! Intro music - "If" by Broke For Free | |||
| 26 Mar 2024 | Episode 76 - 8MM (1999) and The Other Sister (1999) | 02:11:04 | |
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. Intro music - "If" by Broke For Free | |||

Every saga has a beginning and that beginning is the topic of the newest 90s Movies Podcast. Nic is joined by friend and supporter of the show, Matinee Mode, as we talk 1999s Star Wars: Episode 1 - The Phantom Menace for nearly 2.5 glorious hours, with a Jordan Courtney appearance at the end to announce the next episode (where he will return like the Jedi). If you're tired of hiding your love or even simply your "like" for this film, this episode is your Huckleberry, or I guess your Han Solo, AND IT SHOOTS FIRST.

| 04 Jun 2024 | Episode 79 - Deep Blue Sea (1999) and Lake Placid (1999) | 01:59:57 | |
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. Sand under our belly, ocean over our head, listen to this episode of Filmshake or you'll become the living dead! Nightmares of darkness, our appetite is heartless!

| 25 Jun 2024 | Episode 80 - American Beauty (1999) | 01:52:33 | |
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. Intro music - "If" by Broke For Free | |||

| 06 Aug 2024 | Episode 82 - The Sixth Sense (1999) | 02:39:59 | |
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! Intro music - "If" by Broke For Free | |||
| 27 Aug 2024 | Episode 83 - The Blair Witch Project (1999) | 01:45:45 | |
On August 20, 2024, Podcasters, Jordan Courtney and Nicholas Loup, recorded an episode on 1999s the Blair Witch Project. They also talked about 1999s Bats for a few minutes too for some reason. They were never heard from again. This is that recording. Intro music - "If" by Broke For Free | |||
| 24 Sep 2024 | Episode 84 - Arlington Road (1999) | 01:50:52 | |
Who 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. Intro music - "If" by Broke For Free | |||
| 15 Oct 2024 | Episode 85 - Idle Hands (1999) | 01:50:00 | |
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. Intro music - "If" by Broke For Free | |||
| 05 Nov 2024 | Episode 86 - The World Is Not Enough (1999) | 01:53:20 | |
The 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. Intro music - "If" by Broke For Free | |||
| 26 Nov 2024 | Episode 87 - The Mummy (1999) | 02:01:55 | |
Jordan and Nic return to unwrap 1999s The Mummy. However, it seems that they'd much rather unwrap Rachel Weisz! Listen as two grown men who have produced children fawn over a woman from a 25-year-old movie as if they've never even seen a woman before! 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! Did you know that in 2010, a United Kingdom publication declared that Rachel Weisz is the woman most men want to marry? Tune in to hear an avalanche of more facts about how desirable Rachel Weisz is...and stick around for The Mummy talk! Intro music - "If" by Broke For Free | |||
| 24 Dec 2024 | Episode 88 - The Green Mile (1999) | 02:37:15 | |
Filmshake'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!

| 28 Jan 2025 | Episode 89 - Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990) and Spaced Invaders (1990) | 01:30:00 | |
It's groundhog decade, baby! We're back in time to 1990! Starting off this year of all 1990 films strong with a childhood favorite - Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles! How bad did we want to be juvenile delinquents when we saw the foot clan's hideout filled with arcade games and halfpipes? How bad do we want to give April O'neil a shoulder rub? How awesome is that farm sequence when the turtles are near defeat! All this and more on this 90-minute episode of Filmshake! And by more, we mean we also talk about our "punishment" film, 1990's Spaced Invaders, a time capsule itself into 80s-flavored goofball aliens that are just as green, animatronic, and violent as our beloved turtles. Grab a slice of pizza, hop on your skateboard, and come cruise the audio-sewers of our nostalgia-filled deep dive! Plus a trivia battle to cap it all off, filled with a ghostly hunk and one of the Frog brothers! Long live the '90s! Music Heard This Episode: Intro music - "If" by Broke For Free | |||

Right after one of your co-hosts was at death's door, we're back and talking 1990's Ghost! Is a dead Patrick Swayze better than a live anybody? Is a short-haired Demi Moore better than a long-haired anyone? Is Tony Goldwyn? We answer all these questions and more, and even try to talk about our awful punishment film, the not so gnarly 1990 non-comedic flop, Ghost Dad. It's time for Filmshake, the 90s Movies Podcast!

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. 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! Listen to Filmshake!

Lions! 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.

| 15 Nov 2019 | Episode 7 - Point Break (1991) | 01:23:02 | |
Our 90's adventure begins with a Fallen Warrior review of 1990's infamous Troll 2 (worst movie ever made?). Then it's off to 1991 with Kathryn Bigelow's Point Break, starring Keanu Reeves and Patrick Swayze. Join us as we dive into this adrenaline-soaked action flick (featuring surfing bank robbers, brah!) which is not so young anymore, not so dumb actually, and has a surprisingly minimal amount of bodily fluids onscreen. Plus, whoever loses today's trivia round at the end of the show will be forced to watch...Point Break...the 2015 remake. *gasp!* Intro music - "If" by Broke For Free | |||
| 15 Dec 2019 | Episode 8 - The Chase (1994) | 01:12:29 | |
Nic and Jordan dive into the year 1994 and discuss The Chase, starring Charlie Sheen and Kristy Swanson, as well as a '94-themed trivia battle. They also get into a brief discussion of the 2015 Point Break remake in the Fallen Warrior section...turns out it's not quite as good as the original. Who'd have guessed? Intro music - "If" by Broke For Free | |||
| 04 Jan 2020 | Episode 9 – Total Recall (1990) | 01:16:30 | |
Jordan woefully reports back on being made to watch Super Mario Bros (1993). Then, Nic and Jordan venture back to 1990 to re-discover the glorious absurdities of Paul Verhoeven's sci-fi action flick, Total Recall. Or do they? PLUS! Arnold prank calls us during the Trivia Battle. Intro music - "If" by Broke For Free | |||
| 15 Jan 2020 | Episode 10 - Tremors (1990) | 01:20:37 | |
Jordan and Nic burrow into 1990's Tremors. Will they dig it, or should they bury it six feet under? Did it Grabboid their attention...? It's gotta be better than the 2012 Total Recall remake Jordan reports back on. Will this be the episode Jordan unearths trivia redemption, or will he again experience the motherhumping agony of defeat? Intro music - "If" by Broke For Free | |||
| 15 Feb 2020 | Episode 11 - Cutthroat Island (1995) | 01:19:33 | |
Avast ye scurvy dogs, here be the newest Filmshake, wherein Jordan and Nic search for buried treasure in the wreck of the 90's greatest flop, Cutthroat Island. Is Renny Harlin's sword-clanking explosio-thon a misunderstood classic, or did it deserve its miserable box-office walk down the plank? Intro music - "If" by Broke For Free | |||
| 05 Mar 2020 | Star Wars Retrospective | 02:03:26 | |
Nic skypes over the sea with old friend, Dr. Jonathan Robker, to discuss Star Wars, from the pair's original childhood introductions to the franchise, on through the 90's (WOO, 90's!), to their shared experience with the prequels, to their thoughts on the recently completed sequel trilogy. This is a deep dive into Star Wars, featuring tangents into both the old and new EU, as well as a look at Star Wars' possible futures. Intro music - "If" by Broke For Free | |||
| 15 Mar 2020 | Episode 12 - Surviving the Game (1994) | 01:24:14 | |
Jordan and Nic finally get into this hunting humans for sport thing they've been hearing about. But one does not simply hunt Ice-T. One must first dress him in a sweet vest, which they don't even mention in this episode...NO!!! Thankfully, they do mention every other awesome (and not-so-awesome) thing about Surviving the Game, a movie where Ice-T and Gary Busey (FINALLY!) fight to the death! Speaking of death, Jordan reports back on Born American, Renny Harlin's 1986 attempt at blowing up half of Russia. Intro music - "If" by Broke For Free | |||
| 07 Apr 2020 | Episode 13 - Wild Wild West (1999) | 01:31:28 | |
When Jim West, in his theme song, declared "No, you don't want nada," Jordan and Nic should have listened. When Jordan told Nic, "Are you sure you want to watch Wild Wild West?" Nic should have put some thought into why Jordan might be asking that question. Instead, for their first episode quarantined away from each other, Filmshake is talking about the 1999 cinematic plague, Wild Wild West. Intro music - "If" by Broke For Free | |||
| 23 Apr 2020 | Episode 14 - Godzilla (1998) | 01:14:35 | |
The most destructive monster in movie history meets the director whose movies have shown the destruction of nearly every major American landmark, for one giant disaster of a film. Intro music - "If" by Broke For Free | |||
| 19 May 2020 | Episode 15 - Broken Arrow (1996) | 01:38:32 | |
Third time's the charm, as Jordan and Nic finally figure out this long distance podcasting thing just in time to have a Broken Arrow lovefest. How awesome are Christian Slater and John Travolta in this movie? It isn't quantifiable! Everything in this movie is awesome! We've never been this positive about anything! We just can't stop talking about it...for 98 minutes! Intro music - "If" by Broke For Free | |||
| 16 Jun 2020 | Episode 16 - Pump Up the Volume (1990) | 01:10:23 | |
Jordan and Nic steal the air, or at least spend 70-minutes filling it with high praise for 1990's Pump Up the Volume. If their love for Christian Slater and Samantha Mathis had any kind of ceiling, the pieces are on the floor. Intro music - "If" by Broke For Free | |||
| 14 Jul 2020 | Episode 17 - Demolition Man (1993) | 01:23:07 | |
Jordan and Nic go 27 years into the past to travel 12 years into the future, by watching 1993's Demolition Man. Jordan finds some disturbing parallels to modern day America, while Nic has an existential crisis because he can't figure out if this is a dumb smart movie, or a smart dumb movie. Intro music - "If" by Broke For Free | |||
| 04 Aug 2020 | Episode 18 - Alien³ (1992) | 01:57:35 | |
It's the definitive Alien³ podcast! This is a deep dive, featuring a dissection of this exponentially-titled film's themes, comparisons between the original and assembly cuts, thoughts on its place in the Alien franchise...and also Nic breaks out into a 20-minute monologue about nihilism. For those who wish a podcast that covers films like Wild Wild West would give their movie selections a deeper analysis, these two hours comprise our longest non-bonus episode, and reference, in short, the works of Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche, Jean-Paul Sartre, Alan Pratt, Martin Heidegger, and early 20th century Welsh poetry. Intro music - "If" by Broke For Free | |||
| 25 Aug 2020 | Episode 19 - Congo (1995) and Sphere (1998) | 01:29:34 | |
In August of this year, Nic decided Filmshake should watch 1995's Congo, so the show could have a tribute episode to author, Michael Crichton. But "this year" is 2020, and things did...not go as expected. Why the hell does Nic hate Congo so much? Why does Jordan love Congo so much? Does Congo have naked pictures of Jordan? Did Congo murder Nic's father? Intro music - "If" by Broke For Free | |||
| 03 Sep 2020 | Bill and Ted Trilogy | 01:32:58 | |
The dudes are back with their first bonus episode in a long TIME to discuss the most excellent Bill and Ted Trilogy. Every film gets its due, including the all new final chapter, Bill & Ted Face the Music. This episode is non, non, non, non...Non-heinous! Intro music - "If" by Broke For Free | |||
| 29 Sep 2020 | Episode 20 - Joe Versus the Volcano (1990) | 01:40:35 | |
The dudes tackle their first romantic comedy with 1990's Joe Versus the Volcano. Strangely, the dude who claims to not like romantic comedies sure seems to like this movie more than the dude who doesn't claim to not like romantic comedies. And speaking of volcanoes, this episode's trivia battle is so seismically violent, Jordan and Nic have to add a new element to the game. Intro music - "If" by Broke For Free | |||
| 27 Oct 2020 | Episode 21 - The Frighteners (1996) and Mosquito (1994) | 01:28:20 | |
It's a Filmshake Halloween, with very special guest, Doug McCambridge, from Good Times Great Movies. Doug, Jordan, and Nic first discuss the 1994 insectoid spectacle, Mosquito, attempting to answer these hard-hitting questions: How did these mosquitos get so large? Why do they hate volleyball? And most importantly, how is it sexy to "play mosquito?" Intro music - "If" by Broke For Free | |||
| 24 Nov 2020 | Episode 22 - Airheads (1994) | 01:17:29 | |
The Filmshake dudes are ready to ROCK AND ROLL with 1994's Airheads. Is there no limit to this film's quotable moments? Is this the best casted film of the 90's? Are you a cop if you pick Van Halen in the Van Halen-David Lee Roth split? Is Brendon Fraser wearing a wig?! How were the Airheads-hating critics of 1994 so wrong?! Intro music - "If" by Broke For Free | |||
| 19 Dec 2020 | Episode 23 - Titanic (1997) | 01:19:49 | |
On exactly the 23rd anniversary of Titanic's release, it's serendipitously the topic of Filmshake's 23rd episode! Nic tries to philosophically sail the seas of the film's cultural importance, but there's an iceberg straight ahead! That iceberg is Jordan Courtney's unwavering HATRED for Titanic! Intro music - "If" by Broke For Free | |||
| 12 Jan 2021 | Episode 24 - Waterworld (1995) | 01:29:58 | |
Jordan and Nic can't even agree on how to PRONOUNCE Waterworld. How divided will their opinions be on the actual 1995 post-apocalyptic film, and its gilled, web-footed star? Intro music - "If" by Broke For Free | |||
| 02 Feb 2021 | Episode 25 - Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves (1991) | 01:14:50 | |
The most 90's movies-dedicated merry men are back with a look at 1991's Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. Jordan's still got a lot of angry arrows in his quiver for Kevin Costner, but at least he's got the incredible Alan Rickman, Christian Slater, Morgan Freeman, and literally every other cast member to tide him over. Intro music - "If" by Broke For Free | |||
| 16 Feb 2021 | Episode 26 - SLC Punk! (1998) | 01:35:05 | |
It's ANARCHY!, as Filmshake's two resident punks not only break down 1998's indie classic, SLC Punk!, but reminisce about their own history as punk rockers. This episode gets personal, and if you don't like what we have to say here, just keep in mind that our next episode is going to, in some capacity, involve a leprechaun. Intro music - "If" by Broke For Free | |||
| 09 Mar 2021 | Episode 27 - Patriot Games (1992) | 01:17:45 | |
Just in time for St. Patrick's Day, it's an episode Nic's Irish ancestors would be proud of, as he and Jordan discuss the incredibly culturally accurate Leprechaun 4: In Space (1997) and main feature, Patriot Games (1992). Apparently, Nic's kinsmen really want to either marry a magical space princess so that they can take over the galaxy, or murder Harrison Ford. Intro music - "If" by Broke For Free | |||
| 30 Mar 2021 | Episode 28 - The Crow (1994) | 01:36:44 | |
It's been said the set of 1994's The Crow was cursed, and after the last month of working on our troubled episode centered around it, count us as believers. Still, despite the hardships, and the fact that Jordan's audio makes him sound like the vocalist for a Riot Grrrl band, Filmshake is proud to present its Crow episode, focusing on Alex Proyas' first film in the series, then dovetailing...erm, crowing off into an exploration of the other three films in the series because for some reason Nic watched all of them. Intro music - "If" by Broke For Free | |||
| 02 Apr 2021 | Bonus Episode Sample - Over The Edge (1979) | 00:11:22 | |
Jordan and Nic introduce the new Patreon channel where you can subscribe to get bonus episodes. Hear a clip from the first bonus episode where the guys talk about the 1979 cult movie Over the Edge, Matt Dillon's first film. Intro music - "If" by Broke For Free | |||
| 22 Apr 2021 | Episode 29 - Cruel Intentions (1999) | 01:23:29 | |
How about a little wager? Winner gets the Filmshake Dodge Neon. Can Nic watch all three Cruel Intentions movies and keep his grasp on sanity? Can Jordan watch even one Cruel Intentions movie and keep his? We think "no," and that is because we are Nic and Jordan, and we did just do that, and we did not. We can't even pronounce "Phillippe." I guess we'll keep the Neon. Intro music - "If" by Broke For Free | |||
| 06 May 2021 | Mortal Kombat Triple Feature | 01:41:03 | |
In this episode, we cover 1995's Mortal Kombat, 1997's Mortal Kombat: Annihilation, and 2021's Mortal Kombat, which totally ripped off the title of the first film. Yes, "FILM" because these movies are cinema of the highest or lowest order. Intro music - "If" by Broke For Free | |||
| 20 May 2021 | Episode 30 - Anaconda (1997) | 01:18:13 | |
Our podcast don't want none, unless it's 1997's Anaconda. What other movie features 40-feet long cross-eyed snakes, J Lo working studiously on a laptop, Eric Stoltz sleeping, Ice Cube doing nothing until the last ten minutes, and Jon Voight making up an entirely new version of the English language like this one? Probably none! Intro music - "If" by Broke For Free | |||
| 15 Jun 2021 | Episode 31 - Hard Rain (1998) | 01:08:46 | |
This episode, Jordan and Nic drench themselves in 1998's Christian Slater and Morgan Freeman-starring Hard Rain. Is it a soggy mess, or is the water fine? Is this flick a deluge of delight, or a fearsome flood of mediocrity? And why wouldn't the producers let Minnie Driver wash our ears with her delightful British accent, instead of drowning us in...okay, enough with the puns. Intro music - "If" by Broke For Free | |||
| 15 Jul 2021 | Episode 32 - Hot Shots! (1991) | 01:26:11 | |
Filmshake could never find time for love. It's too heavy. It's an anchor that drowns a man. Besides, we've got the sky, the smell of jet exhaust, and our bike...which we own. We've also got our good friend, Doug McCambridge, from the stellar Good Times Great Movies, to talk with us about the classic 1991 spoof, Hot Shots! That exclamation point might be in the title, but we're so excited, we would have used it anyway! Intro music - "If" by Broke For Free | |||
| 17 Aug 2021 | Episode 33 - True Romance (1993) | 01:27:18 | |
Filmshake is so cool. Filmshake IS so cool. Filmshake is SO cool. And we're covering 1993's True Romance, directed by Tony Scott and written by, apparently the man who killed Nic's dog, Quentin Tarantino. If you were around in the 25th Frame days, you know what you're in for. If you weren't, and you love Quentin Tarantino like Alabama loves Clarence, then just listen to our Broken Arrow episode again. That one was pretty good. Intro music - "If" by Broke For Free | |||

Have to fly, have to fight, have to crow, HAVE TO LISTEN TO FILMSHAKE’S NEW episode on 1991’s Hook. We asked our patrons to pick the flick for this episode, and Hook was the winner. NeitherJordan, nor Nic was looking forward to watching and talking about Robin Williams’ trip to Steven Spielberg’s Neverland, but then, over the course of this two-hour conversation…something bangarang happened… Intro music - "If" by Broke For Free | |||

Join Filmshake, as we venture into ancient history with a 90’s Michael Crichton adaptation. No, not THAT one! Instead of dinosaurs, we’re talking the Vikings, bear monsters, beheadings, and Arab poets of 1999’s The 13th Warrior. Does this epic box office flop deserve its bad wrap, or does it deserve to take its place as a useful servant of cinema? Intro music - "If" by Broke For Free | |||

Gorge yourself upon our dulcet tones, as we welcome Reel Talk's Wes Jones to our bacchanalian cinematic feast. Chew on the tender flesh of our opening segment appetizer, as we discuss Bird's misunderstood 1995 Drew Barrymore-starring drama, Mad Love.

| 23 Dec 2021 | Episode 40 - Batman Returns (1992) | 01:58:16 | |
Merry Christmas/Happy Hanukkah/Blessed non-religious secular holiday celebration! Our gift to you is a two-hour long Batman Returns episode! What present could be better than the ultimate Filmshake experience, where Nic essentially equates a 1992 film where the lead character dresses like a bat and another dresses in a leather catsuit with the best works of Fritz Lang, while Jordan points out that the vast majority of that film's dialogue revolves around genitalia. Are you in the mood for Nic to once again bring the holidays down with talks of depression and bleak darkness? Can Jordan ever get him to stop talking? You've got to listen to the most Filmshake episode of Filmshake ever! Intro music - "If" by Broke For Free | |||
| 18 Jan 2022 | Episode 41 - Airborne (1993) | 01:35:58 | |
Hey, Bra! Filmshake is poised to become the most popular podcast on Earth by taking to the sky! ...or by covering the highly underrated, should-be beloved rollerblading teen dramedy, 1993's Airborne. Can the skateboarding Jordan "rollerblades are lame" Courtney find acceptance in his heart for a movie about in-line skating? Does Nic really think that a movie featuring an "I'm Too Sexy" wardrobe montage ends with one of the greatest action scenes of the 90's? Well, we kind of gave that away in the third sentence.
