In this episode of 'Shat the Movies,' we're cranking up the volume and diving into the punk rock chaos of "SLC Punk!" from 1998. Join us as we explore the anarchic adventures of Stevo and Heroin Bob through the conservative streets of Salt Lake City. We'll laugh at the outrageous antics, critique the edgy fashion, and debate whether the film's bold statements about rebellion and conformity still resonate today. It's a raucous trip back to the '90s punk scene you won't want to miss!
Plot Summary:
In the 1998 cult classic SLC Punk!, directed by James Merendino, Matthew Lillard stars as Steven "Stevo" Levy, a rebellious young punk living in the conservative heart of Salt Lake City, Utah, during the 1980s. Stevo, along with his best friend Bob (Michael A. Goorjian), navigates the underground punk scene, pushing back against the expectations of their parents, society, and the straight-laced Mormon culture that surrounds them.The film follows Stevo and Bob as they embrace the chaos of their lifestyle, engaging in anti-establishment antics, getting into fights, and throwing themselves into a world of drugs, music, and countercultural rebellion. While Stevo’s lawyer father (Christopher McDonald) pressures him to follow a more conventional path by attending Harvard Law School, Stevo remains committed to living out his anarchist philosophy, rejecting what he sees as the hypocrisy and conformity of mainstream society.
As Stevo recounts his journey through a series of vignettes, the film captures the highs and lows of a punk's life in a city that's far from a punk haven. His relationships with his girlfriend, Sandy (Jennifer Lien), and the other eccentric characters in the scene, like the junkie Heroin Bob (despite his name, ironically against drug use), add depth and humor to the story.
However, as the reality of their choices begins to take its toll, Stevo is forced to confront the contradictions in his life and the true cost of his rebellion. The film explores the conflict between idealism and growing up, questioning whether it's possible to hold onto one's beliefs in a world that demands compromise.
Join our podcast review of SLC Punk! as we dive into the raw energy, biting humor, and cultural critique of this unique 90s indie film, and explore if its message still resonates today,

Shat The Movies' Nicolas Cage block continues with a commission for listener Frank F. And if you thought "Con Air" was wild, we dare you to watch "Face/Off." John Woo's stateside directorial debut had Dick and Gene talking about acceptable Dude Wipe usage, the proper order for face-swapping surgery, gratuitous police deaths, and how two women and one man can make a sex sandwich.
Plot Summary: "Face/Off"
In the 1997 action-thriller Face/Off, directed by John Woo, John Travolta stars as Sean Archer, an FBI agent obsessed with capturing Castor Troy, a notorious terrorist played by Nicolas Cage. Years earlier, Troy murdered Archer’s young son, sparking a relentless pursuit. Archer finally captures Troy after a dramatic and intense shootout. However, Archer's victory is bittersweet, as he discovers that Troy has planted a deadly bomb in Los Angeles set to detonate soon, and only Troy’s imprisoned brother, Pollux Troy, knows its location.
To extract the bomb's location, Archer undergoes a radical and secretive surgical procedure to swap faces with the comatose Troy, adopting his enemy’s identity. Disguised as Castor Troy, Archer enters a high-security prison to gain information from Pollux. But the mission goes disastrously wrong when the real Troy awakens from his coma and forces the surgeons to swap his face with Archer’s, taking over his enemy's life. Now, Troy lives freely as Archer, assuming his role in the FBI and infiltrating his family, including his wife, Eve (Joan Allen), and daughter, Jamie (Dominique Swain).
Trapped in Troy's body and on the run, Archer must navigate the criminal underworld to survive, reclaim his true identity, and stop Troy from destroying his life and loved ones. What follows is a gripping game of cat and mouse filled with explosive action, high-speed chases, and intense shootouts. As both men exploit their new identities, they blur the lines between hero and villain, leading to a climactic showdown that tests their limits.

If Michael Bay movies are orange juice, "Con Air" is orange-juice concentrate—loaded with stars, explosions and plot holes. What else would you expect from Shat The Movies commissioner extraordinaire Frank F?
Simon West's directorial debut had the Shat Crew scratching their heads. The geography makes no sense. The crime makes no sense. The courts make no sense. Even prison had Dick and Gene confounded.
But there was no mystery to the entertainment factor of this summer blockbuster. Cartoon bad guys, over-the-top action sequences, and some of 1997's hottest actors make "Con Air" a standout movie ... even if it isn't a particularly good one.
Plot Summary:
In the 1997 action-packed thriller Con Air, directed by Simon West, Nicolas Cage stars as Cameron Poe, an honorably discharged Army Ranger who is imprisoned after a deadly confrontation defending his wife, Tricia (Monica Potter). After serving eight years, Poe is finally paroled and set to reunite with his family. His trip home, however, takes a dangerous turn when he is placed aboard a prison transport plane, the "Jailbird," filled with some of the most violent and notorious criminals in the country.
John Malkovich co-stars as Cyrus "The Virus" Grissom, a psychopathic mastermind who leads a group of inmates in a daring hijack of the plane. With his fellow convicts, including Diamond Dog (Ving Rhames) and Garland Greene (Steve Buscemi), Cyrus plans to escape to a foreign country, leaving a trail of destruction in their wake. Poe, who wants no part of the escape but is determined to protect his diabetic cellmate, Baby-O (Mykelti Williamson), and a female guard (Rachel Ticotin), covertly works against the convicts while keeping his identity as a free man a secret.
Meanwhile, U.S. Marshal Vince Larkin (John Cusack) races against time on the ground to stop the convicts from reaching their destination. As Poe navigates the chaos on board, he must outsmart the criminals and take control of the plane to ensure the safety of the innocent people onboard and finally make it home to his family.
Con Air is a high-octane ride filled with explosive action, memorable one-liners, and intense performances from its ensemble cast. Tune in to our podcast review as we dissect the film's over-the-top action sequences, unforgettable characters, and the classic 90s charm that has made it a cult favorite.

“The Little Mermaid” sparked the Disney Renaissance of the ’90s, burning unforgettable songs like “Under The Sea” and “Part of Your World” into the memories of Gen X and Millennials alike.
Since then, Pixar and other studios have pushed animated features to levels we never thought possible. Digital framerates, lighting, sound and design are near perfection, making Disney’s 1989 release feel a little dated.
But old isn’t necessarily bad. So listener Jackson M. posed this question to Shat The Movies: Does a 35-year-old “The Little Mermaid” still hold up? And it was a tough one to answer.
Plot Summary:
In this episode, the Shat Crew explores whether Ariel was a nightmare child, why King Triton entrusted her safety to a singing crab and how Disney handled a teen mermaid’s transition into a human girl.
In the 1989 animated musical classic The Little Mermaid, directed by Ron Clements and John Musker, Jodi Benson voices Ariel, a curious and spirited young mermaid princess with an insatiable desire to explore the human world above the sea. As the youngest daughter of King Triton (Kenneth Mars), ruler of the undersea kingdom of Atlantica, Ariel is drawn to the forbidden world of humans, much to her father’s disapproval. She collects human artifacts and dreams of living on land, where she feels she truly belongs.
One night, during a daring exploration, Ariel saves Prince Eric (Christopher Daniel Barnes) from a shipwreck and instantly falls in love with him. Determined to be with Eric, Ariel makes a dangerous pact with Ursula (Pat Carroll), the sea witch. Ursula offers Ariel a chance to become human for three days in exchange for her voice. If Ariel can win Eric’s love and receive a “true love’s kiss” within that time, she will remain human forever; if she fails, she will belong to Ursula.
As Ariel navigates the complexities of the human world with the help of her friends, the lovable Flounder (Jason Marin) and Sebastian (Samuel E. Wright), the Caribbean crab who serves as King Triton’s advisor, she finds herself closer to her dreams. However, Ursula’s treacherous plans threaten not only Ariel’s chance at love but also the entire underwater kingdom.
The Little Mermaid is a timeless tale of courage, love, and self-discovery, featuring unforgettable songs like “Part of Your World,” “Under the Sea,” and “Kiss the Girl,” which won Academy Awards for Best Original Score and Best Original Song. Join our podcast review as we dive deep into Ariel’s undersea adventure to see if this Disney classic still enchants audiences today with its magic, music, and message.

For years, Dick Ebert has been crowing about "Cloak & Dagger" — the video game angle, the spycraft, the majesty of the San Antonio River Walk. Now it's time to see if this 1984 version of a children's movie still holds up.
Starring the late Dabney Coleman, "Cloak & Dagger" transports us to a world where boys kill grown men, berets stop bullets and little girls can carry bombs through airport security.
If all this sounds fun, it is. But there's a sadder side to "Cloak & Dagger." It's a film that made the Shat Crew realize Henry Thomas was doomed to always play a child from a broken home, some guys get to swear sweatpants to work and the parents of Gen X didn't care very much about their children.
Plot Summary:
In the 1984 adventure thriller Cloak & Dagger, directed by Richard Franklin, Henry Thomas stars as Davey Osborne, an imaginative 11-year-old boy with a passion for spy games and video games. Living with his father, Hal Osborne (Dabney Coleman), a busy Air Force officer and widower, Davey often retreats into a fantasy world where he imagines himself as a secret agent on daring missions, guided by his imaginary friend and video game hero, Jack Flack, also played by Coleman.
When Davey stumbles upon a murder and discovers that a cartridge of his favorite game, "Cloak & Dagger," contains secret government information, he is thrust into a real-life spy adventure. As he tries to convince the adults around him that he has uncovered an international espionage plot, Davey finds himself pursued by dangerous agents who will stop at nothing to retrieve the cartridge. Armed only with his quick thinking and inspired by his imaginary hero, Jack Flack, Davey must navigate a world filled with danger and deception to survive.
Along the way, he is joined by his best friend, Kim (Christina Nigra), and together, they must outsmart the sinister spies who have infiltrated his hometown. As the line between fantasy and reality blurs, Davey realizes that he can’t rely solely on his imagination and must summon real courage to confront the threats facing him and protect those he loves.
Cloak & Dagger is a unique blend of childhood adventure, suspense, and 1980s nostalgia, featuring a story that captures the thrill of espionage while exploring themes of bravery, friendship, and the power of imagination. Tune in to our podcast review to revisit this underrated gem and find out if its mix of fantasy and real-life danger still entertains modern audiences today.

In the 1987 drama Less Than Zero, directed by Marek Kanievska and based on Bret Easton Ellis's controversial novel, Andrew McCarthy stars as Clay, a clean-cut college freshman who returns home to Los Angeles for Christmas break. He is immediately pulled back into the troubled world he left behind, filled with the excesses and temptations of the wealthy, decadent 1980s elite. At the center of this world are his two close friends: Julian (Robert Downey Jr.), a charming but self-destructive young man battling a severe drug addiction, and Blair (Jami Gertz), Clay's former girlfriend who is now romantically involved with Julian.
Clay is quickly confronted with the devastating consequences of his friends' choices. Julian, once a promising entrepreneur, is now deeply in debt to a ruthless drug dealer named Rip (James Spader).

Blair, caught in her own struggles, pleads with Clay to stay and help save Julian, forcing Clay to face the harsh realities of addiction and the consequences of unchecked privilege.
As the trio navigates a world filled with drugs, parties, and moral decay, Clay must decide how far he's willing to go to save his friends from themselves.

Before Hulk Hogan was tearing up shirts at the Republican National Convention, he was a movie star battling galactic threats alongside Christopher Lloyd.
That's why Shat The Movies die-hard Tom (formerly of Crane, Texas) asked us to review "Suburban Commando." And when the time came to crowdfund Tom's commission, Carlos The Mailman led the charge to make it happen.
Fast forward a few years, and it's finally here: Gene and Dick are diving into a movie originally written for Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito, loaded with mime jokes and featuring a young Elizabeth Moss and Undertaker.
We dedicate this episode to the late Shelley Duvall, who tragically passed just hours after we recorded.

If you thought “woman football coach in 1986” was the daring part of “Wildcats,” think again. This Goldie Hawn classic was raunchy, sneaky and full of representation.
“Wildcats” got Big D to open up about being a soft child. It gave Gene a chance to talk about his illustrious football career. And it provided a cautionary tale about grownups partying with teens.
In this episode, Dick writes a fanfic mashup of “Wildcats” and “Adventures in Babysitting” while Gene learns how to make children listen. Wholesome!
Molly McGrath (Goldie Hawn) is following her dreams when she quits her cushy girls track coaching position at Prescott High to become the boys football coach at inner-city Central High. Even though she’s faced with both racial and gender prejudices, she whips the team into shape, so they can compete against Prescott High in the final. All the while, Molly is also dealing with her ex-husband, Frank Needham (James Keach), who is trying to get custody of their two young daughters.
Plot Summary:
In the 1986 sports comedy Wildcats, directed by Michael Ritchie, Goldie Hawn stars as Molly McGrath, a determined high school track coach who dreams of coaching football. Molly, who has grown up around the sport thanks to her father’s coaching legacy, is eager to break into the male-dominated field of high school football coaching. Despite her knowledge and passion, Molly faces skepticism and resistance from the school administration and her male colleagues, who doubt her ability to handle a rough sport. When an opportunity arises to coach the Central High Wildcats, a struggling inner-city team with a notorious losing streak, Molly jumps at the chance to prove herself.
The Wildcats are a chaotic group of undisciplined players, led by quarterback Levander ‘Bird’ Williams (Wesley Snipes) and wide receiver Trumaine (Woody Harrelson), who are initially resistant to having a woman coach. Molly faces additional challenges, including managing the players’ antics, dealing with her condescending ex-husband Frank (James Keach), and facing her skeptical male peers. However, Molly brings her own brand of motivation, blending tough love, humor, and innovative coaching techniques to win over her team.
As Molly pushes her players to believe in themselves and each other, they begin to transform from a ragtag group into a cohesive and competitive unit. She not only teaches them the fundamentals of football but also instills values like teamwork, perseverance, and respect. Through ups and downs, the Wildcats rally under Molly’s leadership, defying expectations and striving to turn their season around.
Wildcats is a heartwarming and humorous story about breaking barriers and challenging stereotypes, featuring spirited performances from Goldie Hawn and a young Wesley Snipes and Woody Harrelson. Join our podcast review as we revisit this 80s sports comedy and explore whether its charm and message still resonate with today’s audiences.

In today's zombie-saturated entertainment landscape, it's hard to believe there was a time when movie zombies actually ate brains, couldn't be killed and liked to show their boobs. We're taking you back to 1985 for Dan O'Bannon's "The Return of The Living Dead."
Listener Kevin commissioned this wacky approach to the undead, inspiring the Shat Crew to examine whether "The Return of The Living Dead" had a hidden message on immigration, whether gravity is the ultimate weapon against zombies and whether Ernie was actually a Nazi in hiding.
In this episode, we also discuss Trash's legendary striptease and recommend "The Return of The Livind Dead" get the "Rocky Horror Picture Show" treatment.

Gene Lyons and The King Bee became friends in 1995. Two years later, "The Long Kiss Goodnight" was released on VHS, capturing the heart of a young King Bee who spent the next three decades trying to convince Gene to watch it.
For his 44th birthday, Gene was treated to a pizza and a spot on The King Bee's sofa to experience "The Long Kiss Goodnight" for the first time. And it was eye-opening, to say the least.
Thanks to listener Jeremiah, the two friends sat down in person, mixed a few old-fashioned cocktails and finally recorded a conversation about what might be Samuel L. Jackson's finest work.
They discussed how Gene cannot experience extreme happiness without immediately feeling sorrow. They explored how much fun a family actually can have with produce. They even dove into Craig Bierko's impressive dating history and '90s America's naivety when it came to paramilitary firearms.
Was Geena Davis too old for a shift into sexy action roles? Why didn't police respond to the trail of bodies she left behind? Should Mitch and Charly have ended up together? Who would you cast in a "The Long Kiss Goodnight" remake? And was this movie a waste of good Cox?

Honestly, when listener Eric commissioned "Ordinary People," we were worried the episode would be dry, academic and morose. Instead, this 1980 Oscar winner led to uncontrollable laughs.
The quality certainly is there: A Robert Redford-directed drama starring Donald Sutherland, Mary Tyler Moore, Judd Hirsch and Timothy Hutton. But you know how it goes when the Shat Boys get rolling.
In this episode, the Shat Crew explores Japanese breakfast, whether you can save French toast, "the three lives," and what real therapy looks like. Gene complains that he can't relate to the problems of the rich, and Dick explains why he wants to try everything on the menu.

One Shat host is a social justice warrior. The other hates Mel Brooks movies. So "Blazing Saddles" seemed doomed from the start. But there's magic in Gene Wilder, Cleavon Little and the old frontier.
Listener Ed took Shat The Movies way back to 1974 for this satirical Western that Gene Lyons argues isn't racist, sexist or even remotely offensive (other than one particular performance).
Dick Ebert was impressed with the "real Hollywood Western" feel of the movie, attributing the incredible cast and chemistry to divine intervention, and also the groundbreaking farts.
In this episode, the Shat Boys discuss the connection between "Blazing Saddles" and "La Bamba," cheer for Slim Pickens and Harvey Korman and wonder at how cleverly the film breaks the fourth wall.
You know those episodes where Gene gets excited and quotes the movie a lot? Yeah, it's one of those.

Is "PCU" hard to find because it crossed a line or because it's just not a very good movie? Listener Jeff from Nebraska commissioned the Shat Crew to uncover the truth for his 40th birthday.
In a lot of ways, PCU is your typical '90s college movie. The university president is trying to shut down a student house. There's seventh-year senior showing the new guy the ropes. A kegger is the solution to life's problems, and the good guys win.
But PCU is still very much its own film. There's no clear protagonist. No group of students is decidedly popular. There might not even be an actual plot.
In this episode, Big D recalls his days as fraternity president. Ash explains college tours. Gene tells the Legend of Alpha Drive, and Jerry Seinfeld is wrong. The Shat Crew also tackles hazing, dirty talk in the dorms and whether George Clinton was the right choice as musical guest.

A lot's changed since 1987: Biopics are much more common (and darker). Chicano artists are more mainstream, and Lou Diamond Phillips is a household name. So we acknowledge "La Bamba' was groundbreaking ... and not very good.
Listener Mark C. commissioned this episode and the upcoming "American Me" to celebrate his heritage as a first-generation Hispanic-American. He noted the blockbuster soundtrack, janky lip-syncing and performances from Esai Morales, Joe Pantaliano and Elizabeth Pena. But Mark didn't prepare us for laughably large talismans, breakneck pacing and Ritchie Valens' "golly-gee" persona.
In this episode, the Shat Crew debates whether Ritchie's brother, Bob, got a fair shake in the movie, what really happened that night in Tijuana and how much racism is appropriate for this story. Gene spots a Mystical Mexican. Ash yearns for some Buddy Holly, and Dick wants more details about the plane crash and aftermath.

Robert Rodriguez blew minds when he created "El Mariachi" for $7,000. The sequel added a brooding Antonio Banderas and sizzling Salma Hayek to rack up $58 million worldwide. But was "Desperado" actually good?
If you're looking for cool cameos, hot sex scenes, bloody bar fights and a strong female lead, then yes. If you're looking for believable gunplay, a plot that makes sense, badass sidekicks or artistic composition, then you're out of luck.
In this episode, commissioned by listener Rachel, the Shat Crew discusses Steve Buscemi always being the same age, Quentin Tarantino always being Quentin Tarantino and henchmen always being unreliable.
