A Bug's Life - 1998

Andrew really should just become a regular host at this point, dude. Returning, yet again, for one of his all-time favorite movies, Andrew joins Lindsay and Scott to discuss what might actually be the quintessential high school film of the 90's - even more so than Clueless. We said what we said. Also, this has Allison Janney and just... you can't go wrong. I mean... come on.Make sure to subscribe to Behind the Timeline for all of our newest updates and episodes!

Bullet-time! Long, slow-mo shots in mid-air! Reverse kanji and a sushi menu! We've got you covered with all the green-tinted, leather-weather, trench-coat-rocking scifi-action as Scott, Matt and Andrew tackle The Wachowski's "The Matrix", starring Keanu Reeves and Laurence FIshburne. From the incredible visuals to the wooden acting to the still-not-entirely-resolved plot hole(s), they're here to take you as far down the rabbit hole as you're willing to go. But the real question here... would you choose to be unplugged?Make sure to subscribe to Behind the Timeline for all of our newest updates and episodes!

We've made it to the final film in 1998, at long last. And boy what a... just a cinematic... ... movie to go out on. Or something. Y'know, we gotta be honest here: Comin' into the turn of the century has really made us re-examine some of these classic childhood films and, frankly, we've found them severely lacking when compared to how we remembered them. Like, do you guys remember that time we reviewed "The Never-Ending Story"? Yea... ... yea... Anyway...Make sure to subscribe to Behind the Timeline for all of our newest updates and episodes!

Sweet Mary, Mother of Chimichanga and all that is 4th Wall Breaking humor, we're back! And what a movie to return on, too. From the innumerable cameos (including one on this very episode from our beloved friend Matt-pool - thanks to technical difficulties...) to the lengthy discussion of what implications this has on the overall MCU and the future of several of the characters, we bring you our "certified fresh out of our brown pants" review of 2024's ONLY Marvel release, "Deadpool and Wolverine". We're glad to be back and we're thankful for all of your that waited so patiently - Now, let's get this show on the road, shall we!?Make sure to subscribe to Behind the Timeline for all of our newest updates and episodes!

The first request of 2024 AND of Season 4 brings us the most riotous film we've had to date - for one reason only: Dougray Scott's "Prince Henry". Dude's got some real big feelings, okay? Like... enough that we basically forgot Drew Berrymore's "Danielle" or Anjelica Huston's "Rodmilla de Ghent" were even in this! Strap in for hilarity, drama and a little dash of even more stupid humor for Scott to enjoy as we review 1998's "Ever After: A Cinderella Story", just for you and our dear, dear friend Nicole, without whom we might not have ever covered this treasure!Make sure to subscribe to Behind the Timeline for all of our newest updates and episodes!

So, we did mention them early on in the episode but it's important for us to note here that the Olsen Twins DID actually have their own version of this film in 1995, starring Kirsty Alley and Steve Guttenberg, called "It Takes Two". That's a little fun fact there for ya! Anyways, we're not here for that - we're here for 1998's debut of Lindsay Lohan (and subsequently Nancy Myers as a Director), "The Parent Trap", a classic Disney tale retold from its original release back in 1961! Also starring Dennis Quaid and Natasha Richardson, the film made us seriously examine just what it takes to be a good parent. And wonder aloud what it was like for Scott to have bunkbeds growing up and no one to share them with. Enjoy!Make sure to subscribe to Behind the Timeline for all of our newest updates and episodes!

LETS. GET DOWN. TO BUSINESSSSS!!!! To enjoy... the poooood! Man is that song just a "Turn it up to 11", though. Lindsay and Scott take on the final success of Disney's Renaissance Era before things begin to turn murky, at best, with Mulan, starring Ming-Na Wen, Eddie Murphy and BD Wong, with accompanying music by the talents of Donnie Osmond, Christina Aguilera, Stevie Wonder and 9- wait, that can't be right... 98 Degrees?! Jesus, 90's, I see you! Was this the feminist empowerment movie Lindsay remembered? Did Scott find yet more inane and stupid sound effects to lose his mind in laughter over?

So, Scott was sick last week, otherwise this would've been out all the sooner. We're sorry about that, gang! But, here's another war movie for ya, for being so patient! And man what a war movie it is, isn't it? Some might even say it's the penultimate example of what all war films should aspire to be, with many failing in its wake. But just what makes this so good? Was it the acting? The drama? The storytelling? Well, Scott, along with special guests Andrew and Matt, discuss those very topics and more in today's newest romp back into the magical mind of Steven Spielberg.

Welcome, one and all, to Episode One of Season 4!! We've taken a month off to clear our heads, get our houses in order and... completely let them fall apart all over again. What can we say? We're nothing if not consistently inconsistent! But, finally we're here with our final film of 1997 - Don Bluth's "Anastasia", starring Meg Ryan and John Cusack, to name a few. How historically accurate is this movie? Why was it so successful? Is this the best non-Disney but now technically Disney villain song of all time?

It's the most... wonderful tiiiiime... of the Pooooood! That's right everybody: Not only are we closing out Season 3 but also the year with our annual Christmas spectacular. This year, Tim Allen joins the ranks of Holiday dads beyond incapable of cooking a turkey - man put zero prep time in, come on, son! - as Scott Calvin, destined to knock the then-Santa Claus off his roof and thereby seal his fate in becoming the next Kringle King! Joined along the saga by a wife and eventually children, Scott's story seemingly comes to an end with Disney+'s wildly successful "The Santa Clauses" episodic epic - of which there are two seasons!From all of us at 'Behind the Timeline' to all of you out there across the airwaves, we want to sincerely thank you all for your time, your comments and your devotion to our show - we absolutely love this opportunity to talk about the very films that make us who we are, week after week, and we have tons of exciting new things planned in 2024... when Season 4, "The Fall of the 90's" arrives!
