Episode 62 - Hot Shots Part Deux (1993)
5/23/2023
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 had 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!

Episode 61 - Blast From the Past (1999)
5/2/2023
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?

Episode 60 - Tommy Boy (1995) and Black Sheep (1996)
4/11/2023
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.

Nic and Jordan's Top Five 80's Movies!
3/29/2023
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!

Episode 59 - The Fugitive (1993)
3/14/2023
What's this? A Best Picture nominee? How did this get in here?!
This episode, just in time for St. Patrick's Day, Filmshake talks about an all-time 90's great, 1993's The Fugitive. Does it dye our river green? Does it do a Peter Pan right off our dam? Does it ride the elevated train into our hearts? Wait, who else is there with you, The Fugitive? Is that 1994's Leprechaun 2 as the opening episode punishment film? Now that sounds like Filmshake.

Episode 58 - Baby Geniuses (1999)
2/14/2023
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.
Baby Geniuses ' poster may tout that "naps are history," but our diaper gravy-induced nightmares will last forever.

Episode 57 - The Cutting Edge (1992)
1/24/2023
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?!
They also talk about not only 2006's straight to DVD sequel, The Cutting Edge: Going for the Gold, but the The Cutting Edge 3 and The Cutting Edge 4...because one of them watched both of those too for some reason.
The wintry war of words climaxes in the episode-ending trivia battle, where one of the questions is literally "At what minute and second mark does the alligator show up on screen in the Hallmark Channel original film, My Southern Family Christmas," because this is THAT kind of episode.

Episode 56 - Eyes Wide Shut (1999)
12/27/2022
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.

12/6/2022
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!
MERRY CHRISTMAS, YOU FILTHY ANIMALS! AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Also, this is Home Alone 2 's 30th anniversary. 1992 was 30 years ago.

Episode 54 - Can't Hardly Wait (1998) and Dead Man on Campus (1998)
11/15/2022
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.
Speaking of miss, guess who loses the episode-ending trivia battle? He's tall. Kinda kinda tall.

Episode 53 - Night of the Demons 2 (1994)
10/25/2022
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...
There's also the episode-ending trivia battle, which may be more horrific than every Night of the Demons movie combined.

Episode 52 - Arachnophobia (1990) and Outbreak (1995)
10/4/2022
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?!
Only Filmshake can provide the answers to these questions.
Special thanks to patron of the show, Chaz, for requesting these two movies.

Episode 51 - Ninja Scroll (1993) and Surf Ninjas (1993)
9/13/2022
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!!!
That's okay because this episode is awesome. Jordan and Nic talk about their history with anime, their anime favorites, and the two movies above. There's even a special "lightning round" version of their usual trivia battle. They might not be ninjas, but no one can argue against this fact: they are indeed podcasters...and you cannot see them.

Episode 50 - Clear and Present Danger (1994)
8/23/2022
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?

Episode 49 - Speed (1994)
8/2/2022
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?!
You listen to Filmshake, the 90's Movies Podcast, and their new episode on 1994's Speed, one of the greatest action movies of all time. We've got special guest, Jackson Boren, as our hostage, but instead of shooting him, we just talk about how awesome Speed is and how not awesome Speed 2: Cruise Control is for longer than it takes to drive the 105 in rush hour...which I guess would just be an hour? We're Filmshake, not Mathshake.

Episode 48 - Leaving Las Vegas (1995)
7/12/2022
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.
Officer, I promise, we're only covering two movies. Okay, maybe we're covering three, as Jordan also briefly recaps the original 1973 Wicker Man.
Throw back another Filmshake! We (probably) won't give you a hangover.

Episode 46 - Serial Mom (1994) and Pecker (1998)
5/26/2022
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!!!

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.
