1999: The Phantom Menace, The Matrix , and the Dreamcast

November 27, 2015

History of Awesome is an epic 38-part trip down memory lane - each episode we're covering a new year's most important, influential, or just-plain-awesome movies, games, TV shows, comics, and more.
Up next is 1999. We were all distracted by Y2K thanks to massive movie-going events like The Matrix and the return of Star Wars with The Phantom Menace. In video game land, the Sega Dreamcast gave us hope and Planescape: Torment made us think.
Other discussion topics include Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, Counter-Strike, Fight Club, The Blair Witch Project, The Daily Show, Family Guy, and The Sopranos.
