Episode #33 – Top Ten Films of the 1990s

March 20, 2015

Episode #33

It was, in retrospect (and despite the above image), a very good decade for film. The last gasp of a pre-blockbuster-superhero-dominated era when the new, "New Hollywood" (Kevin Smith, Quentin Tarantino, Robert Rodriguez - etc) found easy distributive flow from indie and import giant MIRAMAX.  Join Erik, Nick and Chris as they countdown their TOP 10 FILMS OF THE 1990s.  This episode was a lot of fun - we can't wait to get to the 1980s!!
