10 Things I Hate About You - 1999
Andrew really should just become a regular host at this point, dude. Returning, yet again, for one of his all-time favorite movies, Andrew joins Lindsay and Scott to discuss what might actually be the quintessential high school film of the 90's - even more so than Clueless. We said what we said....
-
The Matrix - 1999
Bullet-time! Long, slow-mo shots in mid-air! Reverse kanji and a sushi menu! We've got you covered with all the green-tinted, leather-weather, trench-coat-rocking scifi-action as Scott, Matt and Andrew tackle The Wachowski's "The Matrix", starring Keanu Reeves and Laurence FIshburne. From the...
-
A Bug's Life - 1998
We've made it to the final film in 1998, at long last. And boy what a... just a cinematic... ... movie to go out on. Or something. Y'know, we gotta be honest here: Comin' into the turn of the century has really made us re-examine some of these classic childhood films and, frankly, we've found…

Deadpool and Wolverine - Review
Sweet Mary, Mother of Chimichanga and all that is 4th Wall Breaking humor, we're back! And what a movie to return on, too. From the innumerable cameos (including one on this very episode from our beloved friend Matt-pool - thanks to technical difficulties...) to the lengthy discussion of what...
-
Request the Timeline - Ever After (1998)
The first request of 2024 AND of Season 4 brings us the most riotous film we've had to date - for one reason only: Dougray Scott's "Prince Henry". Dude's got some real big feelings, okay? Like... enough that we basically forgot Drew Berrymore's "Danielle" or Anjelica Huston's "Rodmilla de Ghent"...
-
The Parent Trap - 1998
So, we did mention them early on in the episode but it's important for us to note here that the Olsen Twins DID actually have their own version of this film in 1995, starring Kirsty Alley and Steve Guttenberg, called "It Takes Two". That's a little fun fact there for ya! Anyways, we're not here…

Mulan - 1998
LETS. GET DOWN. TO BUSINESSSSS!!!! To enjoy... the poooood! Man is that song just a "Turn it up to 11", though. Lindsay and Scott take on the final success of Disney's Renaissance Era before things begin to turn murky, at best, with Mulan, starring Ming-Na Wen, Eddie Murphy and BD Wong, with...
-
Saving Private Ryan - 1998
So, Scott was sick last week, otherwise this would've been out all the sooner. We're sorry about that, gang! But, here's another war movie for ya, for being so patient! And man what a war movie it is, isn't it? Some might even say it's the penultimate example of what all war films should aspire…

Anastasia - 1997
Welcome, one and all, to Episode One of Season 4!! We've taken a month off to clear our heads, get our houses in order and... completely let them fall apart all over again. What can we say? We're nothing if not consistently inconsistent! But, finally we're here with our final film of 1997 - Don...

A Very Timeline Christmas: The Santa Clause Saga

Hercules - 1997

The Marvels - Review
We'd like to sum this film up with a single phrase, if we could be so bold: Yada-yada. Did we have fun? Oh for sure! Was it hilarious? Most outrageously so! Did it have a proper villain and a plotline devoid of holes bigger than a jump-point entryway? ...-ahem- anyway... Come to your own...
-
Batman and Robin - 1997
We're back from a brief stint in... not... releasing an episode! We had some scheduling to work out, some drinks to be had, some ass to kick! But we're finally back to you and finally back to the timeline. And what an enjo-... no. No, that's not the word. What an excitin- nope. That's not it...

The Wheel of Time Season 2 Recap
While this might mainly cover Episode 8 and all its finale-ness, we do connect some dots along the, rehash old theories of Scott's that either came true or were so insultingly wrong he really should just read the books at this point. Come on, son! Erin returns for her final stint in the WoT-era…

The Dark Friend Social - S2E6-7
Let the Lord of Chaos rule! We're covering two episodes of book spoilers this week and there are lots of twists and turns to cover. There were some tough bits to get through and some really exciting ones. We were wrong about lots of stuff and did our best to make correct predictions for the…

Wheel of Time - S2E6-7
It's nearly time. We've nearly hit the end of the road for this incredible season and honestly, we're sad. Two years we waited for this to come back and in almost a flash, it's practically gone. Actually by the time this releases the final episode will be upon us. Damn, what an insane trip its...

Wheel of Time: S2E4
Oh my holy crap - Scott totally called it. It's kind of amazing, honestly, because it seems like each one of his guesses is so wildly out of touch and maybe it's because he hasn't read the books despite Lindsay continually telling him to and you gotta wonder at this point is - ... y'know what…
more -

The Wheel of Time: S2E1-3
OH MY GOD WE'RE FINALLY BACK!!! Delayed enough to allow for the next episode to arrive and everyone to theorize, as well as see just how much Scott - because obviously Lindsay's a master of this already - is and isn't correct on early questions and guesses and assumptions, the review for the…

Request the Timeline - Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead (1991)
Is this the longest title we've ever had? For an episode? Yes, probably. Was this movie, as Lindsay loves to say, "unhinged"? You better believe it was. Had she ever seen it? Nope! That's what made it all the more enjoyable, honestly. With a title that completely makes you think something…

-
The Hunchback of Notre Dame - 1996
For whom the bell tolls! I've always wanted to say that. Metallica helped me do that a while back but sort of seemed relevant here, too, y'know? Anyway, here we are at Walt Disney's second failed attempt at grabbing that Academy Award for Best Picture - 1996's "The Hunchback of Notre Dame",...

-
Jumanji - 1995
Lindsay's... still not here. Obviously her move has been the stuff of legend and we can't wait for her return, but for now: we've got Chris filling in. And what a movie to fill in on. From horrendous monkey visuals to rules that just don't make sense, we dive deep into the mystical and mysterious...
-
Godzilla - The Heisei Era Special
He's a one-man natural disaster of gargantuan proportions. And he's... a lone co-host! Tonight we fly solo with Scott, alone, taking on the massive weight of arguably the greatest era in Godzilla's history: The Heisei Era (ca. 1984-1995). Fitting that we complete our stint in 1995 with a...
-
Toy Story - 1995
With the conclusion of 1995, we have yet again arrived at one of Lindsay's all-time favorite films ever made. Whether she's grilling Scott on the history of Pixar or breaking down every plausible theory imaginable - all while still finding time to remind Scott of ALL the things he still hasn't...
-
Clueless - 1995
Due to some technical errors during editing, this episode was slightly delayed - we apologize about that, guys! But, fear not - we're back and back with a bang, for this could very well be the most 90's-defining film of our entire timeline. Presented through the lens of platform-rocking,...
-
Pocahontas - 1995
This. Was. Rough! We're just gonna start with that. We find ourselves returned at last to the Renaissance in less-than-stellar fashion with 95's Pocahontas, a film Disney HAD hoped would bridge the seemingly insurmountable gap between their acclaim and an actual Best Picture win. Sorry, Disney.…

Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania - Review
We gave you a week, okay? Thar be spoilers ahead - be warned, says I! 2023's first Marvel production was a banger, but not without its critical controversies, as many before it have also endured. Did we think this was a swing-for-the-fence? Did we enjoy Jonathan Majors? What was the deal with the...

-
Batman Forever - 1995
Man, it seems like we've covered the Caped Crusader more than any other hero, huh? I mean... we have. There's no doubt about that. And here we are to do it, yet again. Obviously, it wouldn't be a Batman episode without our good friend Matt, back again, to break down just how insane, mismanaged,...

-
Ace Ventura: Pet Detective - 1994
Probably should've done Dumb n Dumber, huh? Not a chance in Hell, says Lindsay! Instead, we're doing the film that broke Jim Carrey onto the scene and made him a huge comedic legend - rightfully so! A lot of this episode is actually spent exploring the very evolution of comedy in Hollywood during...
-
The Lion King - 1994
Was this a lesson about responsibility? Or a terribly emotional roller coaster of cartoon adventures? No. It was Hamlet. We know this. We've known it all along. Anywhoodles - It's Simba, Timon and Pumba! And Mufasa! And Scar! The gangs all here and so are we to break down how absolutely…

Mrs Doubtfire - 1993
Dude looks like a... very unintentional problem for an entire group of people in the 90's! Wait... no, hold on. What? No, no that's ... that's right. Man, as funny and amazing as this movie was, holy crap did it mess some major things up for people! And then it totally taught us about the harsh...

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever - Review

The Nightmare Before Christmas - 1993
Oh, man! I think just the run-time alone should tell you guys what Lindsay thought of this movie. But, true to our nature and our desire to please you all, we dove deep into just what made this such a popular 90's smash hit. Was it the animation? The music? The characters, themselves?
