    Shane takes a look at the two films release on Jason Maier's 19th birthday in 1999. He takes a look at how both "Sleepy Hollow" and "The World is Not Enough" had terrible scripts, and while one of them was able to at least look visually brilliant, the other tried to use too much suspension of disbelief to make the film enjoyable.

    It’s the perfect time of the year to release a Wes Craven film, right? Well, yes, but it’s his only non-horror film he’s ever directed, and Shane expresses how much he enjoys it. This is followed by a discussion about the unique brilliance of “Being John Malkovich”, before we end the episode with a long and angry rant about how much Shane hates the remake of “House on Haunted Hill”.

    In the busiest weekend of 1999, Shane takes a look at the seven films that were all released. This weekend was all over the place with killer wives and killer bats, transphobia and bad gay jokes, as well as an insomniac Nic Cage on drugs, drunk young adults making poor choices, and finally, one amazingly well done film about friendships and relationships.

    What a great weekend for Shane to praise all three films that were released. First up is the most Non-David Lynch film that David Lynch ever made, and it’s an amazing character study on the power of human connections. Second is a great film that deals with the sensitive topic of divorce – so Shane tries to get through that conversation. Finally, Shane praises “Fight Club” for its importance to the men of Gen X.
