IT'S THE JACKAL! We got it right this time. But, no oh man, do we see some things going on in this film. We've just Bruce Willis disguises, we have Ricard Gere do a pretty awful Irish accent, and my man Jack Black gets the short end of a very big gun.

1 Star Movie Review Trivia Game - Super Mega Championship Edition (2/2)

Remember when I teased about there being a part two to the game? Well, I'm here to make good on that promise. Here's the last half of the game. And you won't believe who tries to start a revolution based on a familiar 80s movie. I think we did some soul searching in this episode. You let me know @ericmhunter on Twitter.

When one of the boys is away, it's time to break out the 1 Star Movie Trivia Game but this time it's double packed because Ricky and Eric didn't coordinate who was going to be running the game SO THEY BOTH BROUGHT REVIEWS!! That's right people, show me those crazy eye emojis because this one is twice as long with twice the amount of absolutely bat shit crazy movie reviews.

And we have a theme... can you guess it before they do?

No need to thank me on my amazing impression of Clint Eastwood as I would imagine him in every film he's in because I have no context for westerns. But this one? This one ain't too shabby with an all-star cast.

Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer (1990)

eric@iamericm.com (Capital Idea Radio) — Tue, 01 Nov 2022 14:00:02 GMT

So, it looks like we just got this one under the wire, and we talk about it. It WAS "released" in 1990 even though it was "made" in 1984. But this one is... well... even looking past Ricky's awful watching while driving, Henry did something to us we weren't expecting: discussing a movie together as a group and then made our decisions at the end of recording rather than before starting. Yup. I can say that this is one of the few times that our conversations moved and changed our thought on the movie by listening to others opinions. And that's what it's all about.

We continue our raid of the IMDB (seriously, sponsor us. We'll only get better) review archives for the best 1 star content we can find. Only this time, it's with a twist. Ricky talks the lead as we see if Eric can guess what movie it is from a 1 star review.

Chasing Amy (1997) [Re-upload]

The boys are a bit backed up at the moment and sometimes life just gets in the way. But that's okay. We've got all sorts to things that you're just going to love. Like, well, how about an old episode? It's sort of topical.

Critically considered as writer/director Smith’s best work, the hosts of REEL 90 are split 50/50 this week. Does Chasing Amy’s 1997 indie allure still hold up? You decide…

1 Star Movie Review Trivia Game! Nick's Dead Again!

You heard that right. Nick's dead again. I admitted to murder but Ricky's being silly about it. I mean, we both were there. He was LITERALLY KING STABBING FACE that day. I don't get it. Why is he acting so funny?

Anyway. It's the trivia game. It's funny. It's fantastic. IMDB, seriously, pick us up. Before we go somewhere else. (I don't know where that would be, but seriously, pick us up.)

The Frighteners (1996)

eric@iamericm.com (Capital Idea Radio) — Fri, 01 Jul 2022 14:00:16 GMT

When has there been a movie you enjoyed so much . . . you got the main character's name wrong because it resembles the protagonist of a 2000 comedic drama showcasing the life of a record store owner, and compulsive list maker, recount his top five breakups, including the one he's currently in? Huh? Who would do such a thing? Me. It's was me. I do love High Fidelity. But this time around we have our very own Marty McFly bumping around with some ghosts to the tune of Ghostbusters. What could go wrong? Oh, right. His name. I kept calling him Kevin Bannister and not his true name Frank Bannister. Fucking Kevin Bannister. HE WAS HER FIRST BOYFRIEND!!!1!111!!

Well, it wasn't the call you'd expect. There wasn't even any casting, just some guy with a camera asking weird questions. Who would have known?

“Hide ya kids, hide ya wife, because this movie is burglarin’ everyone’s turds up in here!”

There aren’t many more bad things we can say about the movie, The Super, that aren’t already said in this episode.

It’s no wonder that after this movie, Hollywood decided not to give Joe Pesci main solo starring vehicles. We’re not saying that Pesci is a bad actor, but he works better in a supporting character role, rather than the center of a whole movie.

Swimming with Sharks (1994)

When you’re swimming and you see a shark, you don’t have to be faster than the shark, you just gotta swim faster than the person you’re swimming with.

Without Kevin Spacey in this movie, there is no movie. Spacey gives a tour de force performance in this film, and even though he is an incredibly unlikeable character, you start liking him because of how bad and whiney everyone else is in the film.

“Who can take a sunrise, sprinkle it with dew
Cover it with chocolate and a miracle or two
The Candy Man, oh the Candy Man can
The Candy Man can ’cause he mixes it with love and makes the world taste good.”

I love that they finally made a wholesome family film based off that lovable Sammy Davis Jr. song!….

Wait…, what? Okay, I’m being told that this movie is not what I mentioned above, but is in fact from a sick and twisted story that Clive Baker (of Hellraiser fame) wrote.

The Long Kiss Goodbye (1996)

So this week’s movie is about a secret agent who has lost their memory, and is living a normal life until the bad guys come back to kill’em.

Nope, not one of the Bourne movies! It’s a little known action movie from the mid 90’s, written by Shane Black (Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, Lethal Weapon 1&2, and Iron Man 3).

This action gem has all the great qualities of a Lethal Weapon or Die Hard movie, except a good ending.

Welcome to a future where humans can be walking flash drives!

That’s right! In this 1995 ACTION/SCIFI film, Johnny Mattdamon…I mean, Johnny Marshmellow…crap…Johnny Mnoma nah…

In THIS MOVIE, the future has become a dark greedy place, where corporations will do what they can to induce profit margins. Hmmm…the future you say?

We all agree that this is just a dumb, fun action flick that has a little bit too much goin’ on in it, but love the fact that we can say that a character like Cyborg Jesus (played by Dolph Lundgren) exists.

So sit back and enjoy our episode where we discuss Johnny Menards…shit!

“In the not too distant future…” How many times have you thought to yourself, “Man, this old B movie is terrible! I wish I had someone to watch it with me and make sarcastic and snide remarks during the viewing…”?

Well now you can with Mystery Science Theater 3000: the Movie! Our pick this episode wasn’t exactly a hit across the board with our hosts. With all of the different “riffing” groups that exist now, it’s nice to see how it all got started. No matter if you’re a fan of the original MST3K show, I still think this cult classic will be talked about for awhile, and is a nice entry for the TV show if you’re a newbie to it all.

…in the movie FREEWAY.

See what we did there? Made ya’ think we were talking about the person, but then made it about the character in the movie…anywhoooo….

I know it’s crazy, but follow me… At one time in history, a World War happened, well okay, the second time that happened… WW2 breaks out and business men decide that instead of losing money with their star athletes away and fighting in the war, that they’ll take the best women they can find from around the world, and have them play baseball. Let me just tell you this…oh how the comedy ensues! Who knew that misogyny was soooo entertaining???

Seriously though, we here at REEL 90 all agree that this is a really good movie, is abundant with quotable lines, and has a great re-watch factor.

Phantasm III: Lord of the Dead (1994)

So who had the hovering, silver balls on them to pick this movie?!?

Your one and only REEL 90 Host, Ricky Glore, picked this “ball busting” HORROR/ACTION/COMEDY classic.

Listen to find out if our other hosts, Eric and Nick, are able to follow the Phantasm III’s storyline, without having seen Phantasm I or II. Listen to find out from Ricky, that if by seeing Phantasm I or II, Phantasm III’s storyline makes any more sense.

So sit back, listen, and have a BALL!

(I swear the ball puns are done…okay, maybe not done forever, because our next episode is about a baseball movie…sorry…)

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990)

eric@iamericm.com (Capital Idea Radio) — Sat, 05 Apr 2014 00:00:00 GMT

Remember a time when you could do an action movie set in a city, and that didn’t mean Michael Bay would come in and make multiple sky scrapper buildings crumble and get destroyed?

We here at REEL 90 do!

The lads all agree that the original (OG), Turtles movie, is the way to go and still is a great fun adventure, action packed film.

No question about that, no question at all…Wait…There may be one question…

WHERE DO THE TURTLES GET THEIR MONEY?!?

Four Rooms (1995)

eric@iamericm.com (Capital Idea Radio) — Mon, 24 Mar 2014 00:00:00 GMT

What happens when you tell four different stories, by four different writers and directors (only two of which you’ve ever heard of…), and put them all in the setting of one old school Hollywood Hotel on New Years Eve?!?

Well apparently the gents at REEL 90 thinks that you get ONE mediocre (or bad) movie.

Listen and decide if you think FOUR ROOMS is uneven, or if Betty White’s “Golden Girls” (her boobs), could have saved it!
