Rundown of Mississippi filmed Hunt Club, better than average revenge thriller indie, terrific acting and a solid role for Mickey Rourke as villain Virgil.

He's part of a secret pact of men who meet on a regular basis to hunt humans. Main premise is familiar, but this has a message and is particularly well directed by Elizabeth Blake-Thomas, who you will hear a bit from during podcast. Also starring;
Mena Suvari, Casper Van Dien, Jessica Belkin, Maya Stojan, Jason + Jeremy London.

HUNT CLUB available to rent on digital platforms US
Full interview with director on my YouTube channel, Movie Analyst Shane A. Bassett

Clean off your flute and stop looking at that warm apple pastry like that as we dive… head first? (ugh, we hate ourselves)… into 1999’s American Pie. Should this movie be renamed American Why, cuz we really don’t get why it spawned so many sequels (you know, besides all that money they make). Is it ok to watch teen sex romps in your 40s? Can we watch the dry, smart, funny movie Natasha Lyonne and Jennifer Coolidge are performing in? Eugene Levy can join as the best movie dad ever. And can someone call SVU stat to report these pervs committing an actual sex crime against Shannon Elizabeth’s unsuspecting foreign exchange student? Like a stereotypical teen boy, we can’t promise you many satisfying answers, but we can promise you plenty of weird smells in today’s episode. 

It's time for another staple in the cinematic year of 1999. A year that will go down in history as releasing some of the most culturally relevant films of the modern age. 

For this episode we're talking American Beauty by Sam Mendes and written by Alan Ball. This is one of me and Charles' essential 90s films and it was good to really examine all the aspects we enjoyed as teenagers and cringe at what didn't age well at ALL. 

We chat about the perfect casting of Wes Bentley, the color red, and the incredible script.

Off-topic rants include: Loveline, lusting after Peter Gallagher, Six Feet Under, Charles' college class on natural disasters, and our favorite year in music

Another film that is easily in my top tier and we haven't reviewed it until now! 

Ugh, this movie is kinda gross and amazing at the same time. Me and Jai talk our weird feelings about parts of the story during our recent rewatch, literally FREAK OUT over the fashion, and realize this is Brittany Murphy's movie.

off-topic rants include: banned music videos, drug cinema, American Apparel and more indie sleaze talk

In this episode actor and writer Jen Bartels and I discuss authenticity, tenacity, being your own "storefront," mental health, insulin, television shows getting canceled, defining "success," Louboutins, sports, and being kind to yourself. Jen and I went to high school together, and that (probably) had no (or very little) impact on her current success. (Check out her Geico commercial with Ratt here)

Jen trained with Upright Citizens Brigade in New York. She was on American Woman on Paramount with Alicia Silverstone and Mena Suvari, Friends of the People, Broken, amongst many other credits.

Thanks and enjoy!

Oh, the rails! How we go off of them in this episode!

This week Shane and Bryan break down the 2000 romantic comedy Loser, starring The Pie F'er, Jason Biggs, The American Beauty, Mena Suvari, Matt Damon's conjoined twin, Captain Amazing, Monk, Jimmy the Cop, and one of the McPoyles.

In this film, Biggs stars as small town kid, Paul, who gets into NYU on a full academic scholarship (and a meal plan!). He learns just how sheltered he is while dealing with roommates, a professor, and a nice girl.

Loser is definitely one of Bryan's all time favorites, but even that doesn't keep this episode on track. 

Random topics of conversation:

• Cyberpunk 2077 and how it...changes you
• WandaVision and how Shane is an episode behind
• Shawn Mullins!
• 90s music!
• Bradley Whitford!
• Brett Favre!

A film about a man having a mid-life crisis and wanting to have sex with his daughter's friend. Kyle just can't stop bathing in rose petals. Dave tries to take pictures of plastic bags. The Machine likes to video people while hiding in the bushes.

Next in line for the both the franchise and for our listener requests, this week The Squirms check out The Rage: Carrie 2. "But Carrie died in the first one" you say. Well, "we know", but that won't stop us from heading to 1999 to check in on more high school kids being crappy to each other. Who is Rachel? Why does she have powers? Is that Zachery Ty Bryan? All these will be answered and more as Danny and Tyler dig into this box-office bomb.
