At the Movies in the 90s

"This is pitiful. A thousand people freezing their butts off waiting to worship a rat. What a hype. Groundhog Day used to mean something in this town. They used to pull the hog out, and they used to eat it. You're hypocrites, all of you!"

In the latest episode of AT THE MOVIES IN THE 90s, your host Mark McManus is joined by previous guest, podcaster and comedy fan Rob Turnbull, to discuss the Harold Ramis 1993 fantasy comedy, Groundhog Day.

Perhaps the most iconic role of Bill Murray's illustrious comedy career, Ramis' film stands as one of the most beloved comedies, perhaps films generally, of the 1990s. Does it's caustic whimsy and time loop smarts continue to stand the test of time? We try to find out...

"We're gonna be big Stu, we're gonna be too big for Liverpool, we're gonna be too big for Hamburg, we're gonna be too big for our own bloody good!"

In the latest episode of AT THE MOVIES IN THE 90s, your host A. J. Black is joined by previous guest, music podcaster Colin Jackson-Brown, to look at the unheralded early Beatles biopic from 1994, Backbeat.

Set in Germany at the top of the 1960s, Iain Softley's debut feature examines the history of the 'fifth Beatle' Stuart Sutcliffe and his friendship with John Lennon, as the nascent pop band who will conquer the world come together. Softley's film is in danger of being forgotten as a musical curio, despite a rocking soundtrack and interesting performances, but why? We try to find out...

"The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist."

In the latest episode of AT THE MOVIES IN THE 90s, your hosts A. J. Black & Mark McManus take a look at 1995's modern noir from director Bryan Singer and writer Christopher McQuarrie, The Usual Suspects.

Feted at the time as an immediate crime noir classic, a reputation that burned for two decades, Singer's film feels increasingly sidelined thanks to the sullied reputation of he and star Kevin Spacey, but is this fair of audiences? Tony and Mark wade into the thorny Art vs Artist debate as they make the case for a remarkable film. Will you be convinced? Find out...

"No dream is ever just a dream…"

In the latest episode of AT THE MOVIES IN THE 90s, your hosts A. J. Black and Mark McManus, in a crossover with the LAST TAKE podcast, are joined by podcaster Sam Stokes to examine the career of Stanley Kubrick and his final film, 1999's Eyes Wide Shut.

An elegy to marriage and a dark satire on sex and conspiracy, Kubrick's film took half his life to adapt and serves as a striking full stop on a career like no other. Was it his magnus opus, tragic final failure or somewhere in between? We try to find out...

"I hate the way you're always right. I hate it when you lie. I hate it when you make me laugh, even worse when you make me cry."

In the latest episode of AT THE MOVIES IN THE 90s, your host A. J. Black is joined by new guest, horror podcaster of THE HORROR AND HER, Emma Arneil, to take a look at the 1999 adaptation of Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew, 10 Things I Hate About You.

Starring a retinue of future stars such as Heath Ledger, Julia Stiles and Joseph Gordon-Levitt, this modern re-working of one of the Bard's great comedies adds 90s riot girl energy and teen heartthrob vibes, but does it remain down with the kids? We try to find out...
