20th Century Pop! is a podcast where hosts Bob and Tim take a sociological look at the pop culture of the '80s and '90s.
PART 2 OF 2: “Not likely to re-watch Nothing But Trouble” (1975-1999)
When we last left Bob and Tim they were perilously perched atop a precarious precipice calculating their viewings of various films. Robots in disguise. Bruce Willis in the sky .. scraper. And not a single one of those weird body switch movies with either Judge Reinhold or Kirk Cameron (and maybe George Burns?). Rejoin them now, atop that same heightened hyperbole only this time nominating movies to never see again. There will be British accents., cyberpunk action and probably pre-teen acne in at least one of the cast ensembles.
00:00:00 PREVIOUSLY ON … - a reliable recap
00:01:05 ITS THAT “PART 2” - and a false start
00:02:47 RED PILL OVERDOSE - and seeing Marky Mark’s junk … once
00:13:02 TOO MANY CALLED ME TIM - and beating a dead parrot sketch
00:22:02 PRICK SPOTLIGHT - and trying to define “enough”
00:26:18 ENOUGH “R” ENOUGH - splitting on nostalgia
00:33:31 GUMPY OLD MEN - and Bob is going to show this to his kids(?)
00:40:54 (RE)WATCH OF AGES - and matters of accessibility
00:47:14 CLOSING - contacts, plugs and no catch phrase
00:50:26 SUPER SPECIAL BONUS FEATURES - That guy from “Numbers”
Relive what it was like to not know what the Matrix is with this ORIGINAL 1998 TEASER FOR THE MATRIX.
Consider yourself part of the plot with Aylin Woodward’s 20 YEARS AFTER THE MATRIX SOME SCIENTISTS THINK WE’RE LIVING IN A SIMULATION from BUSINESS INSIDER.
Take a pretty serious look at how Monty Python did it with the BBC’s THE MAKING OF THE HOLY GRAIL PART 1 & PART 2 from 1974.
Read what location shooting must have been like on THE GOONIES with OKAY! I’LL TALK!: AN ORAL HISTORY OF THE GOONIES IN ASTORIA compiled by AP Kryza and originally published in the WILLAMETTE WEEK.
Then view the film as Tim prefers to with the EXTENDED MUSIC VIDEO FOR THE GOONIES ‘R’ GOOD ENOUGH BY CYNDI LAUPER.
And be as confused as Tim that there was a GOONIES ‘R’ GOOD ENOUGH PART 2.
Read a take that Tim can side with in FORREST GUMP: A BAD MOVIE THAT GETS WORSE WITH AGE by Eric Kohn and originally featured in INDIEWIRE.
Take a further in depth look at how this film was adapted from its source novel with THE ADAPTATION OF FORREST GUMP as compiled by scholars Els Malcolm, Charlotte MacDonald and Michaela Eaton-Kent.
And, finally, get played like the strings in the background with the ORIGINAL THEATRICAL TRAILER FOR FORREST GUMP.
