It all comes down to this – it’s a very special end of 1990 episode for the 90s Movie Pod, where we round up our highlights, lowlights and lambada lights on 1990\. Join us as we assess the films of the year while asking the big questions: is Best of the Best the worst case of false advertising since The Neverending Story? Which is harder to watch: Die Hard 2 or Hard to Kill? And just how fabulous are these Baker Boys? We count down our top ten films of year while also crowning the year’s Shittiest Kid, Worst Yuppie and Most Memorable hair along the way. All that and so much more on the first part of the Best of 1990, on the 90s Movie Pod.

Clarisse Loughrey joins Paul, Adam and Daz on another 90s Movie Pod, and against all odds we’ve made it to the business end of 1990, so let’s get down to business – vampire business to be precise, as Nicolas Cage bugnuts his way around Manhattan in the insane yuppie fever dream Vampire’s Kiss. Then we check in on some practically and grammatically irresponsible parents and their diminutive offspring in kids blockbuster Honey I Shrunk the Kids, before watching Alex Baldwin and Fred Ward as the butt heads who buttheads in low life crime comedy Miami Blues. Finally we review a micro-budget Marvel movie to test even the truest believers, as the award-watching creative team behind Lambada and Cyborg combine to produce the original and still the first feature length Captain America film, Captain America.

Cowabunga dudes - finally we stop messing about and get stuck into the nineties proper with Leonardo (leader), Donatello (brains), Michaelangelo (hyper), and Raphael (emo). Joining us to tuck into this week's proverbial pizza of 90s nostalgia (with extra cheese) is Proper Radio Person Clarisse Loughrey, as we also take in daft comic book classic Darkman, supernatural MTV nonsense Flatliners, and bizarre cop thriller Blue Steel.
-
Time for another thumbstravaganza as we go in on another astonishing slate of 90s movies. Expect robotic cops, sub-GCSE French, incongrorous tyre screeches and a reverie for the Fish Prince of Lichenstein along the way.
-
Our summer of love(ly 90s films) over and done with, we head into the autumn of 1990 excited to finally get an audience with our spiritual king Jean Claude Van Damme. Just because we've had a brief hiatus doesn't mean we skimp on the hardcore 90s nostalgia either, with long, ill-advised tangents on Kelly Brook, Robson and Jerome, and Robot Wars for you to look forward to.
-
IT'S CHRISTMASSSSSS which means a bumper episode of The 90s Movie Pod where we, along with special guests Clarisse Loughrey and Adam Balzano, discuss two Xmas classics in Home Alone and National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, before taking a deep dive into the 1990 Christmas Day TV schedules and watching the two big fims of the day: ET and Moonraker. Along the way we meet Jaws in a Games Workshop, assemble our Top Five Cinematic Screams, and crack the secret of Home Alone once and for all.
-
AKA Critters Don't Kill People, Gremlins Do. Wow - we've interviewed the real life Mario Kassar, producer of TERMINATOR 2, FIRST BLOOD, CLIFFHANGER and loads more, about him gifting Arnie a private jet and the lack of good action stars these days. We also carry on with the Summer of 1990, with TOTAL RECALL, DARK ANGEL, CRY BABY, and GREMLINS 2: THE NEW BATCH.
-
AKA A-List Podcasting. It's Summertime 1990! In the first of our four part special, we get our heads round Pretty Woman, Dick Tracy, The Punisher and Hard to Kill, while sharing some strong opinions on the Queen of Pop and the relative tiering of action stars.
-
AKA Zero Thumbs. This week we cobble a ratings system together from the thumbs and fingers we have lying around, before setting the night on fire with Lambada, shpeaking some sheriously accshented Russian in The Hunt for Red October, getting bodacious with Bill and Ted in their Excellent Adventure, and just staring in slack-jawed horror at Rude Awakening.
-
AKA We All Love Airplane. This month we celebrate some spectacular and notable double acts in sexy drama The Fabulous Baker Boys (Michelle Pfeiffer and Jeff Bridges), mad-as-a-meat-salad actioner Tango and Cash (Kurt Russell and Sylvester Stallone), and 'comedy' 'film' Rude Awakening (Cheech Marin and a smoking fish). All that and added Oscars chat, more Lock Up-dates, and your monthly wag of the finger at Michael Douglas.
-
AKA Sally Fields, It's February 1990 on The 90s Movie Pod - this month we chat about our childhood cinemas, go toe-to-toe with Best of the Best, gab with the gals of Steel Magnolias, and do hot and heavy time with Sly Stallone in Lock Up. It's a fun listen - just don't expect us to get everyone's names right.
-
AKA Swimming Through Fudge. Welcome to the very first episode of The 90s Movie Pod!
-
Coming soon - The 90s Movie Pod, where Paul, Joe, Daz and Adam mix nostalgia, inane chat, and the basic level of research they can get away with, as they discuss the most notable films to be released in the UK in the 1990s.
