You were right about the Capitals playing today, but Flyers-Penguins are the ESPN game. You were also closer to your second prediction (March 14. 2025) for Ovi's 895th than this one. Still happy you were right that he made it, it was fun hoping you would be Nostradamus.
We start off the new year in style, looking back one last time at 1995! We’re here to discuss our five favorite films! Listen in as we barrel towards the end of the decade! Celebrate our sixth season finale as we talk about the hidden gems of the 1990s!

Dive in with us below as we review the scourge of cinema, and attempt to reclaim it. Stay to the end to hear one of the most essential pieces of lore in my friendship with @Sarcasualty
For Dec 95, we witnessed one of the biggest box-office bombs in cinema history. Geena Davis & Matthew Modine play pirates racing for buried treasure in this bloated production that sunk an entire film studio! The real hidden gems are on…Cutthroat Island!

Well, get ready...I'm getting close to my 4000th film. Since this app has pretty much died, can I get more than 8 votes this time? Would it be better to post it to Instagram? Probably! Either way, stay tuned...
I'm thankful for all of you sticking around for our 75+ eps of the podcast! This month we watched our first Jack Nicholson film of the 90s, where Sean Penn directed him & David Morse in a melancholic character study about grief & drunk driving & vengeance & catharsis. Listen in!
For Nov 95, we look at actor-director Sean Penn’s character study on grief w Jack Nicholson playing a father haunted by the death of his daughter at the hands of a drunk driver (David Morse). Both men collide in a melancholic spiral in The Crossing Guard! https://t.co/hgxQxRltO3
So I didn't quite wrap up editing the latest episode in time for the end of Oct, as I was swamped w/ marathon prep & work. Either way, we're back with our discussion of all things Kevin Smith! He supposedly slipped up with this "Clerks in a mall", but we think it was pretty neat!
For Sept 1995, a colorful cast of characters compose the sophomore effort of Kevin Smith, who tries to tackle teenage torment in the most ubiquitous place in the ‘90s: the mall! Jason Lee & Shannen Doherty lead the eclectic crew that were called…Mallrats! https://t.co/utHf2IQVJ4
Growing up I always knew Spike Lee was one of the big directors out there, so I was happy to finally cover one of his films - maybe one of the few hidden gems he has from the '90s - on our podcast. Let us take you back to Brooklyn for our film from September 1995:
For Sept 1995, we talk about the eminent director Spike Lee via his underrated crime drama about drug dealers (Mekhi Phifer, Delroy Lindo) facing off against homicide detectives in Brooklyn (Harvey Keitel, John Turturro). This is our take on…Clockers! https://t.co/gYtyQgERl3
Thanks to all who donated yesterday - we reached our $3000 mark! I'd love to keep going further, but for now I'm eternally grateful to all of you for supporting me!
Hello everyone! We’re nearing the finish line…for the Team For Kids fundraiser! To date, we’ve accumulated over $2700 together, and I would love for us to cross the $3000 threshold. It would be even better if we could keep going further past that! https://t.co/LP5dhDFCv5
As a huge fan of Scott Bakula & Quantum Leap when I was younger, I'd always wanted to see the film he did as his follow-up. Unfortunately, it took me 30 years and our podcast as an excuse to finally check it out. Here, for Aug '95, we talk about Clive Barker's Lord of Illusions:
For August 1995, we conjured up a film starring one of our favorite ‘90s actors, Scott Bakula! He plays a paranormal private eye who finds himself facing off against an LA cult. They’ll settle once and for all who might be the true…Lord of Illusions!

My birthday just passed recently, and this would be a great way to celebrate my 39th!
We're closing in on the $3000 goal I have with Team for Kids. It would be wonderful to add anyone that hasn't contributed yet to my NYC Marathon supporters list!

If you've ever met my mom, or just want to donate to a good cause, this would mean so much to me! Thanks again to those who've already pledged, and thanks in advance to those who join us today!
Today would be the most symbolic day to donate to my ongoing fundraiser for Team for Kids, the charity that is my avenue to running in the NYC Marathon. It's been six years since my mother passed away, and I promised her that I would run in this race. https://t.co/LP5dhDFCv5
Since I decided to join Team for Kids, I've had 18 generous friends and family members contribute to the fund, and we've raised $1500 of the $3000 I've dedicated to their cause. We're halfway there, with just half a year to go before the marathon!
Sometimes we put on our Nostalgia Goggles and take a look back at our favorite films, oblivious to their actual quality. That was the case with this month's podcast! I was 12 and fell in love with Sadie Frost, and thought John Leguizamo was the coolest! Listen in to our take on:
For April 1995, we cover a truly hidden gem Tristan discovered when he was an idealistic young romantic - pastry boy Sergio tries to woo waitress Hattie, but then his bakery burns down! Love comes in many forms, but this one is…A Pyromaniac’s Love Story!
https://t.co/bAtK2lA28h
Just before the month turns over, we talk about our Mar 1995 movie! We finally tackle a Stephen King adaptation, and talk about how good Kathy Bates is in basically everything. The entire cast is stacked in this underrated story of an unassuming woman accused of murder....twice!
For Mar 95, Kathy Bates is a potential murderer in yet another Stephen King adaptation! Reckoning with ghosts from her past alongside her daughter (Jennifer Jason Leigh), did she kill someone? The only one who knows the truth is…Dolores Claiborne!

Having missed this film as a kid, I'd always hoped it was as fun as it seemed. Well lucky me, we did Heavyweights! Ben Stiller is as deranged as ever, & I can see why he so easily transitioned into a leading comedy king. It's basically Mighty Ducks go to summer camp! Listen in:
For Feb 1995, we check out a cult comedy that steered us towards the Judd Apatow school - his 1st screenplay! Ben Stiller stars as a fitness guru who takes over a fat camp. Alas, camp kids (food) fight back! Listen in to find out who’s the...Heavyweights!
