Listeners be advised: this movie is ridiculous and explicit. Welcome to Canada. We dish about Niagara Falls, the end of the summer and whether BDubs is real food. This low-budget slasher flick has it all: sex, drugs and rock and roll. The pacing is slow, but the weird sex scene keeps us interested until the dystopian-trash-helmet activates and we see the man behind the helmet is actually a middle-aged male voyeur who is wearing masks and having a grand ’ol time™. We turn into Howard Stern and make sexual jokes. All the while, the robot guy is having his sad sex-life a cameraman creeps in the distance and Shades is meditating and doing ecstasy. Then, the creepy-guy comes back a few times and then dies. Then some other useless shit happens. Is this thing on? I hope not. Check this out, Vice doc about Afroman. Nostalgia Unscripted.

Alex and Brendan get into a steaming pile of a film. 1994’s Mixed Nuts was both hated by critics and forgotten by the public and our collective unconscious. It’s definitely not a Christmas classic. It’s a badly written theatre play with a jumbled mess of a plot. Brendan references the L. Ron Hubbard series of Last Podcast on the Left episodes.Alex sings the praises of Xbox Games Pass for the offspring of the IBM personal computer. The first 20 minutes of the movie were funny with the rapping elevator woman. And then it got terrible. We voted it the worst movie ever. We sound like a couple of Valley Girls on this episode of Refined 90’s Cinema. Recorded: Holiday Season 2022 Nostalgia Unscripted.

It’s time to morph into a podcast listener and get those headphones powered up! Alex is the Power Rangers™ fountain of knowledge. He gives us the inside-scoop on all the colours (even the white/green one). Then we comment on the special effects, the goo, the toxic ooze and the mat paintings. It was a voyage like Laserhawk (1993) with tons of bad SFX. Join us, as Alex goes back in-time to relive a childhood memory. We totally forgot about reviews on this episode of Refined 90’s Cinema. 45 | It’s Porkin’ Time | MMPR (1995) Recorded June 2022 Nostalgia Unscripted.

A very quick, quick hits. We watch an episode of 1994’s Dinosaurs. A sitcom family with very questionable morals. We try to figure it out, using our present-day knowledge. Nostalgia Unscripted.

An instant classic Refined 90’s episode in the making. We’ve got fissures, Elden Ring, a Pokemon corner, Chianti, stupid cereal boxes, and (oh yeah) also a movie podcast. Alex sees a magical chest that resembles one he already has in his office. The discussion then devolved into a confusing mess of confusion. We get our Clinton’s mixed up. Then, the plot fixes itself. 44 | Foot Job | Brainscan (1994) Recorded: April 2022 Nostalgia Unscripted. Find us at refined90scinema.com YouTube Channel: refined90scinema.live Questions? Comments?

The boys watch the psychological-crime-thriller Seven (1995). It’s dark to start and basically stays exactly that way throughout. The detective duo of not-Denzel and not-Pacino go through the fictional city of not-NY and do some detective stuff. Alex sings a few songs. For all of this movie’s thrills, it really did not leave much to be discussed. 43 | Goopeth Shit | Seven (1995) Recorded: March 2022 Nostalgia Unscripted.

After another hiatus, we are back! We couldn’t be cops and we definitely couldn’t be negotiators or people with guns. Samuel has one chance, one opportunity to not go to prison for killing his partner (we think). He’s gotta make a deal with only twenty-four herrrrssszzzz. He wants answers and the only way to get them is with gratuitous focus pulls and Paul Giamatti. The swat whatever team is doing everything they can to keep the FBI out and keep the boat afloat. Turns out all the dirty cops were in on it the whole time: pension funds, internal affairs, crooked cops, fishing trawlers and the hidden identity of Ebaum, this movie has it all. Listen to us explain-away the plot. A+ for intensity on this fast paced episode of Refined 90’s Cinema. 42 | SLJ’s Out to Play | The Negotiator (1998) Nostalgia Unscripted.

It was a simpler time, it was a better time. When we roamed free, we had five television channels. Brendan and Alex misremember how terrible Detroit-area law commercials really were in the 90s. Then, we rediscover a past love, The Guillory Family by re-enacting their famous Slap the Rice Bag: A Venom Fan Fiction video, poorly.

We begin this Christmas special by eating Sweet Chili Heat Doritos®. As all podcasters should annoy their audiences by eating crunchy foods whilst recording. We are back in the studio for one final episode of 2021. Shot in Oakville, a suburb of Toronto, Ontario, this suburban comedy takes us back to the era of Mercury Topaz’s and Denny’s. Apparently, Timothy is a great actor with which to work. Did he gain weight for the film? We don’t know. The movie flashes us by, like our youth. Alex hates Neal’s overbearing personality. Neal gets coal for Xmas because he hates him! Happy Holidays everyone from all of us here at Refined 90’s Cinema.

We continue our big conversation into Big Tech™ about how Google will enslave us all! Brendan recommends KeepassXC (for Linux or OSX) or Keepass (for Windows) to save all of your passwords with a master password. You can even sync them across devices like your phone or laptop. And another thing is to use two factor–2FA (or multi-factor) authentication. Dale then pivots to the Jenna Marbles story-time time and we lament jerks being toxic on the Internet. Alex asks, “Have the times changed?” “Can you have a friend online?” “Will they still be his friend?” “Can we quench that need to be right online?” Dale delivers some wisdom. Alex talks some more about anime and tries to convince Brendan to like anime. Then Dale and Alex try and define the history of anime and manga. Dale talks One-Punch-Man who is obviously a man who only punches once before falling over and dying. Dale’s theories include : (1) There is a Metallica song for everyone, (2) There is an anime for everyone to love, (3) Farts are always funny. Dale’s 90’s favourite production is King of the Hill. Dale and Brendan love Seinfeld and Alex is a Friends person. Which primetime 90’s production defined your personality? For movies, Dale recommends Fear (1996) with Marky Mark and Heat (1995) and finally, The Negotiator. Alex and Dale then gush about The Thing (1982) and then many more wonderful movies. Dale soliloquies his reasoning for loving The Lighthouse by simply asking yourself, “What are the strengths of this film?” Then, Brendan talks about something stupid and we move on. MOVE ON !

Alex teaches us all about art as we watch a 90’s children’s classic: Art Attack! On this Quick Hits 4, Art Attack host Neil Buchanan, who people on the Internet have mistaken for Banksy, still has a career as a beloved Scottish artist after 17 years of a wonderful television series.

Weiner Pistol | From Dusk Till Dawn (1996) Recorded: November 12, 2021 Movie discussion starts at 4:35 Cool movie, sinus infections and an overworked Alex makes podcast a dull boy. What?

Did we watch Flubber? We did. Alex begins our show discussing his Pokemon obsession. It’s basically PokeHoarders at his house. Someone call TLC. Alex laments the Nova Scotia accent. Send the hate mail his way. Then on Dirty Laundry, we discuss anal issues and “not being done”. Make the flubber. Then we see Shooter McGavin try and marry his wife. Wil Weaton plays the bad guy’s son and Clancy Brown from Earth II is in the movie too! The Flubb is on the loose. Robby Williams puts flubber everywhere and helps a high-school bball team win the game to win back his ex-fiancee. We eventually figured it out. Hack and Slash, or the bad guys, suck hard. Towards the end, Scott Trimble, lets us know what’s up on the set of Flubber. The reviews were terrible at the time of its release.
