A Life Less Ordinary | October 24, 1997
Nothing would make our lives less ordinary than watching another romcom that's a semi-ripoff of Excess Baggage (falling in love with your kidnapper) and My Best Friend's Wedding (Cameron Diaz doing karaoke).

Masterminds | August 22, 1997
This week, Brandon and Megan watched the kiddie version of Die Hard: Masterminds. It may not be a cult classic, but it does have possibly the most iconic 90s opening we've ever seen!

We watched Operation Condor, also known as Armor of God II, but in the US it's #1 and Armor of God I is #2. Got it?

Men in Black | July 4, 1997

MY BEST BAT'S WEDDING | June 20, 1997
Get ready for the Barbenheimer of 1997: MY BEST BAT’S WEDDING. Brandon and Megan couldn’t possibly decide between Batman & Robin and My Best Friend’s Wedding so they watched both! We go on probably too many tangents for trying to accomplish a double feature, but most importantly, Brandon doesn’t know the rules for writing an acrostic poem, but at least his Bane voice is better than Megan’s.

Brandon and Megan welcome you aboard Convict Airlines – aka Con Air! Brandon spends a lot of time explaining the plot points Megan didn’t get, but hey, at least she can spot a tertiary character that also appeared in the Twilight movies from a mile away. We also cover the popularity of bird-based pick-up lines, debate wigs, and honor the dueling soundtrack singles with not one, but two musical interludes.

What better time for a Thanksgiving movie than the last week of May? Brandon and Megan watched Gone Fishin’, a buddy comedy not at all known for jump-starting the screenwriting career of one J.J.

Make sure you get that subtitle down correctly because Megan accidentally purchased and started watching the sequel instead (and it took Brandon about five minutes to notice).

Volcano | April 25, 1997
Brandon and Megan discuss the importance of emergency management, as well as work/life balance when there’s suddenly a Volcano in downtown LA! But don’t worry, lava is significantly slower than you’d think and this movie is weirdly committed to realism in that regard. Brandon questions if the LA subway really exists (he’s lived there almost five years) and Megan questions why there are so many notable Michael Jacksons (it’s just a really common name).
