Suburban Christmas | The Santa Clause (1994)
Ep. 41

Suburban Christmas | The Santa Clause (1994)

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. Movie talk begins at 8:46 41 | Suburban Christmas | The Santa Clause (1994) Recorded: December 2021

Variety Show Tapes | Part 2

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 ! We have a Part 3 coming up next time on Refined 90’s Cinema! 39 | Variety Show Tapes | Part 2 Recorded : October 2021

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. We draw and then Brendan lost our drawings. That jerk!

Quick Hits 1 | 90’s Commercial Break

Quick Hits 1 | 90’s Commercial Break Recorded: September 20, 2021  Our very first Quick Hits! We watched some 90's commercials. They didn't age well at all. We then watched some 2021 commercials. Now I want Barbie dolls, cat food , soap operas and fast food for some reason. Does gum stay in you for 7 years? Snopes.com. I still want to buy into the Columbia House scam. Did you have a Sega?

Hack and Slash | Flubber (1997)
Ep. 35

Hack and Slash | Flubber (1997)

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. Stay tuned for our first livestream for Episode 36 coming this week on our YouYube Channel: Refined 90’s Cinema. Movie discussion starts at 12:10 Recorded: July 29, 2021

Richard A. Dick | Bicentennial Man (1999)
Ep. 34

Richard A. Dick | Bicentennial Man (1999)

In a world, where movies are watched and reviewed. Two friends stand to lose everything to bring you only the best in podcasting. On this episode of Refined 90’s Cinema. Alex and Brendan begin their most trying challenge yet. Our Robin Williams trilogy begins with Bicentennial Man from 1999. Auto-tuning, robot appendages, the future and more. Brendan admits that he has been secretly auto-tuning Alex this whole time. CGI is good. Practical effects are better. We see the robot being delivered because this is Bicentennial Man. The family takes delivery of Andrew and then they force him to do menial tasks around their house like Rosie from The Jetson’s. Then he gets to play chess and the kids make him jump out the window. They live in the house from Signs. Andrew the robot gets smart. He reads lots of books and such. As you could have guessed, Andrew becomes a member of the family. 12 years later… Where is everyone now? Lloyd is a dick. Andrew is free and he builds himself a beach house. Then his original owner is almost-dead and the other daughter is still a dick. Milton from Office Space gets replaced by Jake’s Dad from Brooklyn 99 and it puts on some clothes as he travels around and tries to find other robots like itself. He gets organs and then begins stalking the grand-daughter of his former owners. Of course, we have flying cars. It’s the future. Movie talk starts at 06:28 Recorded: July 22, 2021

Get ’em Wet | Waterboy (1998)
Ep. 33

Get ’em Wet | Waterboy (1998)

Editor's Note: Due to some technical difficulties, mainly Brendan recording next to a running washing machine and dryer for over an hour, this episode might sound a little different. Hopefully, the hilarity shines through. So, grab some H2O and press play on this episode of Refined 90’s Cinema. 00:00 Intro: Song: Lobby Time from Incomptech.com. We start off talking Pokemon card collecting and Settlers of Catan for 2 players. We love board and card games here. Couples who Cattan together, stay together. 07:22 Vice’s series: Dark Side of the 90s. Brendan says it’s “podcast adjacent.” He’s just jealous that he didn’t come up with it first. Want to skip ads on YouTube. Find the crowdsourced in-video add-skipper for YouTube called SponsorBlock. 10:53 Cooper Corner! Who’s a good puppers? Who’s a good boy? It’s Cooper! That’s who! 16:12 We start the Movie. It’s Waterboy from 1998. We complain about Touchstone Smurf Weiner Productions and green screen technology. Recapping the movie. Brendan likes the colours, Alex likes the voice Adam Sandler does. 24:38 Is Adam Sandler father/parent-less? Seems to be a theme worth exploring. A quick web search would reveal that _no. _It appears he was raised by two loving and alive parents. The movie continues with Bobby Boucher giving everyone water and playing great football. 32:44 Do American’s party with their college professors? Maybe Epstein. We take a short pause to discuss sexual boundaries and the importance of patience with a partner and communication. Talk to each other. Be respectful. Don’t do anything you’re uncomfortable with. 39:28 Back from our 5 second interlude, Brendan discusses the delicious homemade Grarby’s Beef ‘N’ Cheds from Matty Matheson. They are good. Make the recipe. Then we hear the story of the time that Brendan’s apartment caught fire when Alex was visiting. 42:11 Back to the movie. Waterboy (in case you forgot). Finally, Rob Snider says the words we’ve been waiting to hear this whole time. Cooper interrupts Alex and Bobby Boucher’s mama finds out he’s been playing the foosball/the devil. Plot of the movie solved. Recap continues. Sandler always has great movie sponsorships. 56:36 One lone movie review this week and Alex’s very own Outro. A funny football movie. That’s it for now folks.

Spankin’ the Monkey | Ed (1997)
Ep. 32

Spankin’ the Monkey | Ed (1997)

Joey from Friends did a movie between the first and second seasons and it bombed. 00:00 Intro: Song: Lobby Time from Incomptech.com. 00:08 Brendan gets a new cellular telephone and is way too excited about something that everyone else already has in their pockets. #adulting. Do you pay too much for mobile data? Canada is one of the countries with the highest prices for mobile data in the whole entire world. 03:10 Brendan introduces his new drink: Sangria la-ti-da. 04:09 Alex has an idea. Please congratulate him at refined90scinema@gmail.com. We discuss our upcoming reunion and how we will fall back in-love once we can record in the same room. 04:23 Introducing (Alex's new segment) Dirty Laundry. Do you put on a new pair of socks everyday? If not, you should, because your feet will stink badly. Change your underwear and your socks daily. Multiple times a day if you sweat. Send us your sock recommendations. 07:35 We fail to properly parody Brokeback Mountain and then we learn some fascinating facts about the famous Kentucky River and its importance as a source of drinking water for its surrounding areas. 09:26 Back to our Drinks of the Week. Alex takes a trip to the liquor store and insults a customer service representative whilst realizing that he is creepy and old since he turned 30 years old. People be thinkin' you creepin'. 11:12 The movie for this week is finally revealed. It's 1996's Ed starring Matt Leblanc.**_ _**The recent Friend's HBO Reunion and Matt Leblanc is revealed as being a horrible actor without Friends. 12:07 Ed (1996) was a commercial flop and failure. We discuss our opinions as to why? Was it promoted properly? Did it get bumpers and commercials before and after Friends? Is Friends actually funny? How many times can I say Friends? It has a zero on Rotten Tomatoes. 16:16 After many trials and salutations we start the movie. It begins with M. Night Leblanc playing baseball with a horrible green screen behind him. He gets to milk a cow because he is uneducated? His mother looks like Chris Farley in a wig. Matt meets his arch enemy and we see the wife from Jingle All the Way. Just kidding, it's actually Jayne Brook from Kindergarten Cop. 21:15 Kirby Woods unveils his plan to get the team back into fighting form. A classic tale of Tribiani's. They changed his hair. Is it a hair piece? The plan involved a monkey. We meet the eponymous monkey named Ed. Looks like a toupee. The monkey is a great baseball player! 25:56 Matt Leblanc needs to prove himself in order to stay on the team. So he pitches in front of the team. Naturally, this leads him to be chosen as the monkey's new roommate. Ed gets high from eating a flower and then uses some air freshener. The next morning, Matt has an even darker fake tan and he practices pitching, even though Ed is way better than him. Then we see a refined favourite, Kevin Kopelow. Turns out, it's not Chubbs, it's another guy. 32:45 One-note character, Jack 'Coop' Tribiani is doing monkey business #TCOMB. Now, inevitably, Jack 'Coop' and Ed are becoming friends. They do some pitching and catching with varying degrees of success. They finally put Ed Sullivan (Monkey) on the field. 38:37 Ed hits the field and becomes immediately famous. We figure out who actually played Ed in the costume in the movie. Who gets cut during Cut Day? It doesn't matter, because it's not Ed and It's not Jack. They continue bonding and Ed drives a drunk Coop home. They also share a toilet. We then compare Friends and Ed. Marcel vs. Ed is a definite contender for a sequel. 44:55 We digress into pausing the movie for wine and making Refined 90's history by deciding if we will even bother finishing this awful movie. Do you YEET? We at least know how to conjugate the verb. How do you do your laundry? Now back to this ridiculous movie… 49:29 Part 2. Back to the movie. Jack and the little girl's mom go on a date. He's all shoulders and back. Ed babysits and they make a huge mess. But, we think the couple gets it on. Then we go back to the field where a group of businessmen are scheming about how they can screw over Ed and take all his money. Chocolate banana anyone? 54:34 They steal Ed with 25 minutes to go. Jack's new girlfriend is very unhappy with him. The hallway they are in looks like it's from the K&P Slap-Ass Sketch and Ed was traded in secret according to the team owner. 01:04:11 The Championship Game. They won the game. Alex wants a Nutty Nanner because the ending is worse than in The Cube. We then Whose Line the credits. Since the movie is useless. 01:09:26 Budget breakdown for the film to try to figure out how much of a colossal failure it truly was. And we're done. That's it. Why did we even watch this movie? So, shut up. The End.

WITTB: What in the Tom Bergeron! | Ghost (1990)
Ep. 29

WITTB: What in the Tom Bergeron! | Ghost (1990)

Our motto for this romantic ghost tale is WITTB. It involves a former game show and prime-time host whose name we just enjoy saying. This movie really isn't our cup of tea. Romance, money, murder and pottery. Recorded: April 22, 2021

Every Once In a While, I Wipe Wet. | Casper (1993)
Ep. 28

Every Once In a While, I Wipe Wet. | Casper (1993)

We start our ghost trilogy with this children's classic: Casper. A friendly ghost if I've ever met one. The boys meander from discussing putting your genitals in fan blades, then ghost haunting, then how grape juice is a conspiracy to turn us into winos, then how cleaning your keyboard is very important. Get those dead skin cells out of there! Alex's vaccine prospects look grim and so, we ask the question this week: How do you wipe, sitting or standing? It is an important question that every adult must ask themselves at some point in their bleak existence. Do you use wet wipes or towels? Do you have a bidet? Are you a public squatter or a poop nudist? Movie discussion starts at 13:40 Recorded: April 8, 2021

Ep. 27

TOOL Tim-E - Galaxy Quest (1999)

Come along with us and watch Tim Allen's haircut. We have a comedic-sci-fi bonanza on this episode 90's TV Dad hits us right in the cocaine feels. Yep, that happened. Read about Timothy Dick's drug charges here, here and here. Regardless, people can change, and he does give us nostalgic warmth and fuzzies. He was Disney's The Santa Claus's Santa after all. Arrruhhhhh…..

Diddle That Chili Hole - LaserHawk (1997)
Ep. 26

Diddle That Chili Hole - LaserHawk (1997)

Another VHSRip and CANCON production on this episode of Refined 90's Cinema. Our second installment in the 2021 Extraterrestilogy. We begin with Alex opening a special bottle of wine worth 25 G's (actually $30).  This dollar store bin movie actually has a half-way decent beginning. But, then, the plot falls apart and they turn into aliens? In the credit sequence, there is a special Kroeger surprise. 4:28 movie discussion starts Recorded: March 18, 2021

Support the Guillory’s - Men In Black (1997)
Ep. 25

Support the Guillory’s - Men In Black (1997)

We get the Fresh Prince and order some delicious Chinese food on this episode of Refined 90's Cinema. What's your favourite dish? Alex has an affinity for spicy Kung-Pow Chicken. Do you ever order from a new restaurant just to test the waters? The Chinese food in MiB makes us hungry and so we take a very long break in order to eat. Brendan can't get delivery and so he makes sad rice. But, what about the movie?!? We also watch and review the first MiB movie. We learn of an Internet connected family while searching for Men in Black reviews. We are so engrossed with their online lives that we perform our own take on their classic Men in Black fanfiction The Chocolate in the Cereal: A Men in Black Fan Fiction: https://www.youtube.com/c/GuilloryFamily/videos. Thank you. If you made it to the end of this episode, you get a gold star and a pitcher of Sunny D. Movie discussion starts at 8:36 Recorded: February 25, 2021

Rubix Cuban Cigar - The Cube (1996)
Ep. 24

Rubix Cuban Cigar - The Cube (1996)

The final psychological thriller movie in our trilogy. Our Valentine's Day special. We're in love with one another and with geometric solids on this episode of Refined 90's Cinema.  It's not at all funny. It's not an adventure story. It's 6, or so people, in a cube. One of them designed the cube. Another is a jerk, pedo-cop trying to possibly groom a high-schooler. Definite Epstein vibes from this one. Hopefully Gizz-Stain can tell us more about what they were doing and how disgusting it all was. They are the most evil, most horrible people on the planet right now, other than  Comment below and complain, or tell us how much you love this low-budget horror CANCON cult classic. It was also remade in Japan and is slated to be release in October of this year. Maybe we can get a pre-release (keep dreaming). Movie discussion starts at 4:50 Recorded: Sunday, February 14, 2021

Dead DOM(inatrix) - The Game (1997)
Ep. 23

Dead DOM(inatrix) - The Game (1997)

Movie discussion starts at 4:15. This psychological thriller has us tongue-tied and our brains turned into mush. We really struggled with this one. I mean, what is the point? Why didn't they consider another ending? Why is this movies plot dependant on it's suspenseful music? What? I don't... what? Okay. We really didn’t know what the deal was for most of this and then even in the end it was incredibly unsettling. A lot of plot holes and some dick jokes later, we somehow survived the game, both the movie and the actual game, and made it to the end. This one really made us turn back and go…. Hmm, so that was a thing. Recorded: Sunday, January 31, 2021

Marklijah Wood & Henrycully Culkin - The Good Son (1993)
Ep. 22

Marklijah Wood & Henrycully Culkin - The Good Son (1993)

The movie watching discussion starts at 8:17. We begin this episode with Black Mirror, Prime Ministers and Elijah's audition tapes. This movie is terrifying: Henry Cully Culkin is a masterful child actor in this movie. He probably killed his own brother and starts torturing and killing animals too. The guys get terrified to their core with this one folks. Alex practically couldn’t watch at one point and brendan laughed himself into a coma. Really though, where did Henry Cully’s acting skills come from? Where did they go? Cotton….eye...joe? We wouldn’t wanna be his brother is all we’re saying, dude is a psycho. Poor doggo, you will be missed… well. Badum CHHH! Get ready for some genuine WTF reactions to this movie everyone. We look forward to watching with you. Recorded : January 2021

Ep. 21

Daddy Issues and Underaged Marriage - Deep Impact (1996)

The Night Before Christmas and all through the house not a space ship was stirring, not even an asteroid. Oh wait, it was a comet and it came straight for Earth. Join us, on this rambling, destruction movie of epic proportions. The movie wasn't rambling, but we sure were. Honestly neither one of us even remember most of this movie after watching it, which only means one thing, more random silly conversation from your pals Alex and Brendan. Sometime’s you just have to watch a movie with a lot of really strange love sequences in it because it allows you to reflect on the mistakes of the sci-fi genre in the 90’s, and then thank them for making modern sci-fi what it is. Enjoy this crazy episode with lots of laughs, and an occasional tear shed. I mean how can you not, the kid rode his bike across the state for the girl. Through traffic and everything… right? RIGHT?! … oh yeah there’s a comet. Shit... Recorded : December 2020 (The Night Before The Night Before Christmas)

Ep. 20

Grandma’s Nush - Dante’s Peak (1997)

Movie discussion starts at 6:32 We start up this one with broken garage doors and used cars. The movie starts with a broken man, trying to avenge his wife's death, by attacking a volcano. He gets into an argument with his boss and they disagree. Poor Pierce. Off on medical leave, by his jerk boss, Harry Dalton (formerly Harry Ballsack) gets into a bar fight. And, later, his ex-mother-in-law tries to set the entire town against him. Don't worry, she eventually redeems herself by sacrificing her life for her grand-children with her super-hero sized nose hairs we like to call NUSH! Get that G-MA Nush on this episode of Refined 90's Cinema. Man, after watching that, we sure wish we owned a Chevy Silverado for all of that volcano action! Recorded : November 2020
