Note: This is post-Sinners!Regardless, here are some of our favorite impending 2025 movie releases. We've got a heck of a year of film awaiting us, so let's dive in. Be sure to follow us on social @revengeof90spod and on Substack at revengeofthe90s.substack.com.

For those of us who grew up in the 1990s and enjoyed a sick day or two, 'The Jerry Springer Show' was inescapable. The controversial and raunchy show was one of the biggest cultural touchstones of the decade and remains in the zeitgeist to this day. To help us talk about 1998's 'Ringleader,' Springer's own shameless attempt to cash in on the success of the show in a feature-film format, we've brought on guest Ross Benes, author of '1999: The Year Low Culture Conquered America and Kickstarted Our Bizarre Times' which you can buy here: https://us.amazon.com/1999-Culture-Conquered-Kickstarted-Politics/dp/0700638571.

In this episode, we talk about one of the most important movies ever made - 1993's "Schindler's List," made in a year that truly cemented director Steven Spielberg as the greatest director of all time. This is a film that needs to be shown, taught, discussed, and shared with as many people as possible. Be sure to follow us on social @revengeof90spod or on Substack at revengeofthe90s.substack.com.

With baseball season nearly upon us, we are covering 1994's 'Major League II,' the rare sports movie sequel that attempts to recapture the magic of the original - with mixed results! Still, nothing pumps us up quite like seeing Rick Vaughn walk out of that bullpen to close out a playoff game. This is another joint episode with our other podcast, the California Penal League, so be sure to like, review, and subscribe to both shows, and follow us on social @revengeof90spod and @calpenalpod.

Welcome to our first recorded episode in 2025 - and it's got a GREAT ASS. For us, the action of podcasting is always going to be the juice, so we're proud to present to you our episode on one of the best heist movies of all time, 1995's 'Heat.' Check us out on social @revengeof90spod and on Substack at revengeofthe90s.substack.com!

We've hit the new year, but we're still thinking about one of our favorite annual holiday watches - 1992's 'The Muppet Christmas Carol.' Leave it to the Muppets to create one of the greatest adaptions of the story, with Michael Caine putting in an incredible performance that captures exactly how you should star in a Muppet movie. Catch us on social @revengeof90spod and Substack at revengeof90s.substack.com.

We're starting off this year's holiday celebration by talking about one of our favorite family 90s Christmas movies - 1994's 'The Santa Clause!' Scott Calvin is what appears to be an awful father, forever changed by becoming Santa Claus, while his ex-wife and her new husband Neil attempt to annihilate the magic of Christmas for Scott and Laura's young son Charlie. Essentially, none of the adults come off all that great here - but it's still a holiday classic!

If there was a time in your life when you thought 'The Sixth Sense' was the scariest movie you've ever seen and you weren't sure you could ever handle watching it again, this is the episode for you. Relive this game-changing 1999 horror classic with us and then be sure to check us out on social media @revengeof90spod.

You might be coming here for giant snake-related horror, but you'll stay for Jon Voight's unhinged performance. 'Anaconda' is a B-movie creature feature at its very best, and it's no wonder it has gained a cult following over the years. When you're done with the episode, be sure to check us out on social @revengeof90spod and on Substack at revengeofthe90s.substack.com.

Cherry Falls is a 1999 slasher movie that never even saw a theatrical release in the United States - but it should have! Learn all about this virgin-killing extravaganza and be sure to add it to your spooky season watchlist.
