Podcast Like It's 1999

Documentarian/Producer Kirk Fraser (The Life of Rayful Edmund, American Gangster) joins Phil and Kenny to discuss the controversial 1999 documentary AMERICAN PIMP.Interviewing both legal and illegal pimps from all across the country, the Hughes Brothers create an unbiased portrait of the way life is within a subculture most of us are too uncomfortable to talk about outside of comedic stereotypes. Using the unrestrained style of the film as a jumping off point, Kirk provides insight into what it means to present an underrepresented point of view, even if it's one you don't agree with, and how filmmakers at all levels need to better understand the cultures they are putting on screen. We also discuss why this movie was poorly recieved and overlooked at the time of release, and why it is hard (but important) to find today.Find Kirk at: may3rdfilms.com/Patreon: patreon.com/podcastlikeits1989Twitter: twitter.com/podcastlikeitsInstagram: instagram.com/podcastlikeitsReddit: reddit.com/r/Podca

On this week's Sex and the City Saturdays, we're covering one of the more forgettable episodes of the show; THE CASTE SYSTEM. To Phil and Writer/Producer/Guest Corinn Stikeman's delight, even the lesser episodes of SatC tend breed great conversation. From Samantha's less than couth storyline involving a rich man and his servant, to Miranda and Steve's relationship falling apart over their salary gap and a suit, the two have A LOT to cover regarding the way this show tackles the delicacies of interpersonal economics. Plus, stay tuned to the end for a suprising argument in favor of a character we have absolutely slammed throughout this miniseries.Find Corinne at: twitter.com/cocostikemanPatreon: patreon.com/podcastlikeits1989Twitter: twitter.com/podcastlikeitsInstagram: instagram.com/podcastlikeitsReddit: reddit.com/r/PodcastLikeIts See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Welcome to Woodycast, where we talk about all things Woody Harrelson! Wait....this is a Frasier episode?!With over 100 Primetime Emmy nominations, 37 wins, and a 20 year stint from Kelsey Grammer as the titular pompous radio host, we all knew a Frasiercast was inevitable. Alongside Writer/Critic Carrie Wittmer, Phil taps into season 6 episode 13 "The One Where Woody Shows Up" to not only examine the show itself, and it's role in 90s sitcom culture, but its connections to Cheers, and success in paving its own path. We also talk about Woody Harrelson. Like, a lot.

Writer/Producer Corinne Stikeman stops by to talk about the romantic drama that critics called "competent but forgettable", "Terrible", and "A crime against humanity": AT FIRST SIGHT. Can Val Kilmer pull off a charming leading man performance, while representing a disability with any level of authenticity or respect? Does director Irwin Winkler find any sort of potent message or quality entertainment in this incredible, perfect-for-the-screen concept? No...the answer is no. But don't worry, Kenny and Phil are here to get you through it! See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
