Podcast Like It's ...

Have you ever been the very best? Like no one ever was?Well if you have then you have arrived at the correct episode of Podcast Like its 1999, as this week we welcome Mike Natale (Writer for Comic Book Resources and host of the upcoming You're Missing Out podcast) onto the podcast to talk about the ominously titled POKEMON: THE FIRST MOVIE. We get to talking about Pokemon as a multimedia phenomenon in the late 90s and how it just missed some of us age wise, card based box office boosts, how people feel about the movie/animated series in relation to the games and whether or not Pikachu crying brought tears to our eyes. Will Phil and Kenny leave the episode wanting to catch them all? Listen to find out. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We aren't quite done! This week as our final FELICITY FRIDAY, Phil interviews a couple of FELICITY's key creatives.First off we have Executive Producer and TV Veteran John Reims about his role on Felicity, what makes Felicity different from all the other shows he's worked on in his career, and what it was like to work with the cast.And then we bring back Director and Producer on Felicity, Lawrence Trilling to talk about what it was like to say goodbye to Felicity, his thoughts on the ending and what it was like to direct the show's finale. THANK YOU all so much for listening to Felicity Fridays, it's been a blast doing them. Hope you tell your friends and get excited for what's coming up of PODCAST LIKE IT'S 1999. We, like Felicity, might be looking towards the past pretty soon, stay tuned... Hosted on Acast.

In the 90s we all loved lasers and we all loved Catherine Zeta Jones. Put them together and you have an all time memorable teaser trailer and ... an absolutely terrible movie??This week we welcome back Jessica Ellis (Host of Distant Socials Podcast) to the podcast to talk about Entrapment, a movie as far as anyone is concerned is just Catherine Zeta Jones dodging lasers with sexy movements and also Sean Connery is in it.We talk about the movie beyond the trailer, Sean Connery as a 60 year old movie star, Catherine Zeta Jones place as a movie star post-Zorro and just how much we did not care for Entrapment.
