Always Shoot Your Landlord | Holiday Takeover

Content warning: This movie has discussion about suicide, threats of suicide by characters and also, depictions of suicide and murder. If you need help or are concerned about the welfare of someone else, please visit, findahelpline.com or Reddit /r/SuicideWatch hotlines. 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

We get creeped out with a spongy-meatball on this episode of Refined 90’s Quick Hits!

It's Porkin' Time | MMPR (1995)

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

Quick Hits 6 | Dino Romp (We Tried)

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.

Foot Job | Brainscan (1994)

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

Goopeth Shit | Seven (1995)

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

SLJ's Out to Play | The Negotiator (1998)

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)

Quick Hits 5 | Sam Mandela Effect Barenstein

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.
