1993

1993 was the year of Steven Spielberg with the release of both Schindler's List and Jurassic Park, and Tom makes the case that Schindler's List is his crowning achievement and one of the greatest and most powerful movies of all time.


What would you do for $1,000,000? Would that be enough money to watch this movie again? The three hosts dive into Matt's pick of the worst of 1993 with Indecent Proposal.


1994

Is Matt choosing Dumb & Dumber as his favorite of 1994 over Pulp Fiction dumb, dumber, or smartly subversive just like this Jim Carrey comedy?


Bruce Willis is a psychoanalyst who can no longer see red... but Color of Night has the hosts seeing red. Join us as we dive into this Temu version of Basic Instinct without its sexiness, thrills, and coherence (and let's be honest, Basic Instinct didn't even make all that much sense.) 


The Terminator Franchise

In this special podcast we cover The Terminator franchise!

Join us as we discuss all 6 movies and try to figure out how Arnold went from a cold, ruthless killing machine to a family friendly cyborg who says, "Talk to the hand."


We find out which of these films are sci-fi classics, and which ones should be terminated to protect mankind's future?



Rocky Franchise

 In this special podcast, we go 10 rounds with Justin's favorite franchise Rocky. From his humble beginnings in the original to single handedly defeating communism in Rocky 4 to throwing in the towel and passing the legacy to Creed, we cover all the movie knockouts as well as the ones that hit below the belt!  



The Godfather Franchise

 Take the gun... leave the cannoli. 

This episode we dive into Matt's franchise pic, The Godfather franchise. Is this still the greatest mob story of all time, or has The Sopranos, Goodfellas, and Godfather 3 hurt its legacy?

Here's an offer you can't refuse: Listen now as we discuss all three movies.



1995

 Is Before Sunrise the quintessential Gen X love story, or is it nothing but talk? 

 

Also on this episode: Matthew McConaughey, Renee Zellweger, and Leatherface in lingerie? How could this movie possibly be bad? Tune in to find out as we discuss Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation.

1996

Is Fargo a comedy? A thriller? A masterpiece? You betcha! Listen as Tom tries to convince the cohosts that Fargo is a perfect movie.


Can Black Sheep recapture any of the Chris Farley/David Spade magic from Tommy Boy? Was Tommy Boy even worth copying? We dive into Matt's pick for the worst of 1996 with Black Sheep.

1997

Seedy L.A. film noir has never been done better (except in the classic Chinatown) than in 1997's L.A. Confidential. Tune in to hear the podcast that is off the record, on the QT, and very hush-hush.


"Let's kick some ice" "Tonight, hell freezes over" "Allow me to break the ice" Arnold has had some pretty bad one-liners throughout his movie career, but does Batman & Robin contain all of his worst in one movie? The hosts dive into what makes Batman & Robin a very, very bad film.



1998

Do we have The Truman Show to thank or blame for the inundation of reality television? Special guest host Jen joins the podcast as we discuss the favorite pick of 1998, and if The Truman Show was a dire warning of what was to come or simply a heartwarming comedy.


From Patch Adams we learn that there is nothing wrong with dying... as long as you have a few good chuckles on your deathbed. Tom picks his worst of the year and discusses why the sickly sugary sweetness of Path Adams makes him so sick to his stomach.



1999

The Sixth Sense, Fight Club, The Matrix, American Beauty, The Green Mile, The Matrix, Election, Being John Malkovich, Toy Story 2 and many, many more classics all came out in 1999... so why is Tom choosing a movie with three unknowns, no script and a $60,000 budget? Tune in to find out as your three hosts go searching for answers in The Blair Witch Project.


Profane and often funny Kevin Smith takes on religion which sounds like a perfect recipe... so why does Dogma feel so toothless and lame? We discuss Matt's least favorite of 1999.




Meet the Butter Your Popcorn Movie Podcast Hosts

Tom

Justin

Justin

Since being allowed to stay up late and watch the original Halloween movie at 5 years old, Tom has always had a love for horror movies. Highbrow (Hereditary) lowbrow (Sleepaway Camp 2: Unhappy Campers) and everything in between. In his spare time, Tom takes a break from watching horror movies to enjoy dramatic films like Magnolia, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, and Paris, Texas.

Justin

Justin

Justin

Growing up on a steady diet of Skinamax and repeated Rocky viewings, Justin will now give any flick a chance: drama, action, horror, or comedy. When he's not coaching baseball, he's watching movies... at least any movie that didn't premiere on The Hallmark Channel.

Matt

Justin

Matt

When Matt is not educating the future of America, he is enjoying a good chick flick or mob movie. You will not catch him watching sci-fi or horror, but he can be easily bribed to watch anything for a free meal. Matt doesn't claim to know everything about movies, but he does claim to know something about everything.
