At the Movies in the 90s

The 90s. The end of the Cold War. The Spice Girls. New Labour. Euro 96. The PlayStation. The World Wide Web. We all have our memories. Many of them will be of movies in an era where the blockbuster truly came home, where arthouse prospered, where the Brit film soared & where, in some ways, popular culture truly began. I’m A. J. Black. Author, writer & podcaster, and the 90s was my decade. It was probably yours too. So join me as I head down memory lane AT THE MOVIES IN THE 90s...

  2. Carry on Columbus with Rob Turnbull

    Carry on Columbus with Rob Turnbull

    "I've seen his testimonials!" A phenomenon of British comedy cinema across the late 1950s into the early 1970s, the Carry On film series is a product of its time. So when a revival came at the start of the 1990s, a very different era, it met with, to put it mildly, scorn. But is this attempt to keep calm and Carry On again as bad as everyone believes some thirty plus years on? In this shorter bonus episode of AT THE MOVIES IN THE 90s recorded in late 2023, your host A. J. Black is joined by You Have Been Watching host Rob Turnbull to discuss Gerald Thomas' 1992 period comedy Carry On Columbus... Host / Editor A. J. Black Guest Rob Turnbull Find A.

    U.S. Marshals with Ian Buckley & Hugh McStay

    "We got a fugitive!" The Fugitive immediately struck a nerve as one of the greatest blockbuster remakes of the 90s, but its nascent sequel, built around Tommy Lee Jones' Oscar-nominated turn as Sam Gerard, failed to do the same. Why? And does anyone truly remember it? In this shorter bonus episode of AT THE MOVIES IN THE 90s recorded in late 2023, your host A. J. Black is joined by Vampire Videos host Hugh McStay and Illumination Above All host Ian Buckley to discuss Stuart Baird's 1998 action thriller U.S. Marshals... Host / Editor A. J.

    John Carpenter's Village of the Damned with Hugh McStay & Robert Clark

    "They have the look of man... but not the nature of mankind..." John Carpenter followed up his memorable Lovecraftian meta horror In the Mouth of Madness with a fresh stab at adapting John Wyndham's classic tale, The Midwich Cuckoos, but does his remake compare to the book or original 1960s movie?

    Frankenstein Unbound with Perry Constantine

    "You think that you have killed me. But I will be with you forever. I am unbound..." One of Roger Corman's lesser known pictures is his early 90s stab at the classic Frankenstein story by Mary Shelley, through the lens of a later novel, that blends together traditional Gothic stylistics with a strong science-fiction beast. What we end up with is a most unusual beast. In this shorter bonus episode of AT THE MOVIES IN THE 90s recorded in late 2023, your host A. J. Black is joined by Japan on Film host Perry Constantine to discuss Corman's 1990 horror Frankenstein Unbound... Host / Editor A. J. Black Guest Perry Constantine Find A.

  6. The People Under the Stairs & Wes Craven's New Nightmare with Joseph Maddrey

    18 OCT

    The People Under the Stairs & Wes Craven's New Nightmare with Joseph Maddrey

    "We open on an old wooden bench. There's fire and tools in the background, and what looks like a pair of hands building what is revealed to be a set of shiny claws. The claws are moving now, as if awakening from a long, and unwanted sleep. Slowly, the man places a trembling hand onto the bench. Behind the lights; people watch in silence, ready to laugh, or scream out in terror..." Before Scream revolutionised horror for a new generation, maester of the macabre Wes Craven directed two movies earlier in the 1990s that covered two facets of his directorial vision - 1991's social satire The People Under the Stairs and 1994's New Nightmare, reviving his most iconic creation Freddy Krueger. In this episode of AT THE MOVIES IN THE 90s, a podcast about the cinema of the 90s, your host A. J. Black is joined by Joseph Maddrey, author of book The Soul of Wes Craven, to discuss these two very different films, horror in the 90s, and Craven's broader career. Plus, Joe discusses his favourite 90s movies... Host / Editor A. J. Black Guest Joseph Maddrey Find A.

    South Park Bigger, Longer and Uncut & Can't Hardly Wait with Matt Latham

    "Remember what the MPAA says; Horrific, Deplorable violence is okay, as long as people don't say any naughty woids! That's what this war is all about!" South Park Bigger, Longer & Uncut surely stands as the most profane animated musical ever made, but does it remains as funny as it was in 1999? In this episode of AT THE MOVIES IN THE 90s, a podcast about the cinema of the 90s, your host A. J. Black is joined by old friend and guest, Matt Latham to dig into Trey Parker & Matt Stone's foul mouthed big screen version of their hit animated show, with a stop along the way to look at romantic comedy from 1998, Can't Hardly Wait...

    The Crow with Colin Jackson-Brown

    "People once believed that when someone dies, a crow carries their soul to the land of the dead. But sometimes, something so bad happens that a terrible sadness is carried with it and the soul can't rest." The Crow is now three decades old, a production more of legend than fact, known for the tragic death of star Brandon Lee while making the film. It has become a mythologised picture, but what are the facts behind the fiction? Was it really a cursed movie? In this episode of AT THE MOVIES IN THE 90s, a podcast about the cinema of the 90s, your host A. J. Black is joined by brand new guest, podcaster and music obsessive Colin Jackson-Brown, to delve into Alex Proyas' dark comic-book horror picture, discuss the fascinating backstory, dig deep into the iconic soundtrack, and consider the sequels and imminent remake. Plus, Colin discusses his favourite movies of the 1990s, and oh my god, one in particular you will never see coming... Host / Editor A. J. Black Guest Colin Jackson-Brown Find A.
