It’s Good Friday 2024! Do you know where your children are? If not, who cares? Drown your sorrows by listening to this episode of Refined 90’s Cinema. This week, the boys are back for a slapstick late-nineties classic Mousehunt. The mouse was a metaphor for life in the post-economic collapse world. Go listen to Watch Out! by Alexisonfire. Good stuf…

We did a whole trilogy. Three whole episodes. And, because of Brendan’s disorganization and moving-related chaos, we’ve lost the files. This was part of our summer trilogy with horror movies. We also had a Jim Carry trilogy recorded, but we did not clap to start recording and Brendan cannot seem to find the right files and sync things-up properly. …

Alex is finally back in Studio v3.0 for a Quick Hits Extravaganza! We dig deep into early 2000’s Internet culture and 90’s cartoons from our childhoods. Nostalgia Unscripted.

Listeners be advised: this movie is ridiculous and explicit.Welcome to Canada. We dish about Niagara Falls, the end of the summer and whether BDubs is real food. This low-budget slasher flick has it all: sex, drugs and rock and roll. The pacing is slow, but the weird sex scene keeps us interested until the dystopian-trash-helmet activates and we se…

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 SF…

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. Nostalgia Unscripted.

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…

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. 4…

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 …

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. Quick Hits 5 | Sam Ma…

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 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) authenticat…

We have a very special guest in the studio. This episode, our graphic designer and CAD aficionado friend Dale joins us for many hours of rambunctious ramblings. We talk about anime, cool but sad webcomics, domain names (Hover shout-out) and many other things on this first of a multi-part series. It’s a slice of life on this part 1 (of 2 or 3) sub-p…

Alex teaches us all about art as we watch a 90’s children’s classic: Art Attack! 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! Nostalgia U…

Weiner Pistol | From Dusk Till Dawn (1996) Recorded: November 12, 2021 Movie discussion starts at 4:35 Cool movie, sinus infections and an overworked Alex makes podcast a dull boy. What?

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.

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. Wi…

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 …

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.

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.

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…

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 af…

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 cr…

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 ge…

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 …

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 …

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…

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…

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 …
