Sorry for the late description, but THEY were tapping our phones. Who's THEY?! You know, they're a mystery wrapped in a riddle inside an enigma! It's all because we're covering 1991's JFK and THEY don't want you to hear it.

We're also talking 1991's Stone Cold, aka the Alabama trailer park version of Point Break, and for some reason THEY didn't care about you hearing that. Also, we've both lived in trailers, so we have trailer park privilege. Which especially means THEY don't want you hear what we have to say!

Also, Nic forgot to mention that Craig R. Baxley directed Storm of the Century, one of his favorite all-time miniseries. Either that, or THEY just didn't want you to know!

Filmshake never knew when to quit. Just ask our fourth grade teacher! And for our EIGHTH(!) spooky season, we're talking 1991's The People Under the Stairs. Does it deserve cult status, or has the movie flown under the...stairs for a reason? But also, we're talking a punishment film that may not be so much of a punishment film for these two hosts: the bumper sandwich for our boogerlips, 1991's Ernest Scared Stupid. One of these films was supposed to be made for adults and one was made for children and somebody with a runny nose is going to die, but it ain't us!

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? All that and would you believe more, only on this episode of Filmshake - The '90s Movies Podcast!

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 it...does Nic love it...does Nic want some more of it? Drop Dead Fred, not Robin Williams' full frontal nudity. All that and more on Filmshake!

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 to eat Serop's while we watched these movies!

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 punishment is Easilyoffendedia, which astronomers actually declared "not a planet" anymore some time before Pluto. Justice for Pluto!

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 us if you want to live!

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 is? Are they even real?

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 possibility of escape. You are condemned. Either listen... Or die...

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 missed the fact that Reign of Fire's director also directed our dear cinematic love, 1993's Airborne, causing Jordan to say, "What if Matthew McConaughey and all the other characters in Reign of Fire were on roller skates?!" to which Nic responded, "Wow, that is better than any point you just tried to make about The Matrix!"

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! Who needs a white Christmas when you can have one drenched in blood, cat drool, and pus?

We also talk 1990’s Two Evil Eyes because, ironically (in the literal, not Alanis Morissette sense), just ONE 1990 horror anthology isn’t enough for us. Merry Christmas, you filthy animals!

AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Wrong place, wrong time, same Filmshake! We're back and Dying Harder than ever, as we talk 1990's Die Hard 2. One of our host's AOL Instant Messenger handles in the 90's was "John McClane," so there might be a little bias here, Mr. Falcon!

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 this wave of kickboxing and gasoline? Find out on Filmshake!

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. When we say "Only on Filmshake," we mean "Only on Filmshake."

Seinfeld. The Dick Van Dyke Show. Filmshake. All have reached at least 100 episodes. After six years, we have finally made it. For our 100th episode, we're talking 1990's seminal horror thriller, Jacob's Ladder. Hehe, we said seminal.

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 can't enjoy it! ...or...er...parts of it. All that and more, only on Filmshake!

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 Jetsons: The Movie, from that same year. We don't have as much nice stuff to say about that movie.

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 look lovely as can be. Are you lonely, just like us...
