It'll Be Alright In The Nineties - S5 E5 - 'Some bloke with a double barrelled shotgun shoots a couple of holes in the footwell' (Our Favourite VHS Tapes and CD Singles)

It'll Be Alright In The Nineties - S5 E10 - 'A Lovely Cat' (Films of 1997)

We're back in the dusty seats of the local flea-pit cinema to talk about the films of 1997 this time on the podcast. There was some serious box office cash spent this year and we cover some of the biggest smashes in cinema history. We're joined by brother of the pod Adam to pick two films each to talk about, plus we've all watched Spice World for the first time ever! And of course, we'll break down the box-office top 10 and the award winners. Tune in to find out which film Alex only realised was an all-time classic only after a rewatch in his late 30s, which threequel does Stu think is somewhat overlooked and which film was the first 15 certificate film Adam saw in the cinema. And what did we all think of the plot of Spice World? Also this time: 90s tennis players! 90s exhibition visits! A potential challenger to the role of official diarist of the pod! And much, much more...

It'll Be Alright In The Nineties - S5 E9 - 'Dripping through the table like the Xenomorph's blood in Alien' (5th Birthday Special)

Five years, eh?! Who would have thought that a tinpot project that started way back in June 2021 would have come this far. That is to say, a tinpot project which has somehow now produced over a hundred episodes? Join us as we celebrate this significant milestone for the podcast! In a shocking turn of events, just as we had finished putting up the streamers and balloons, the podcast accidentally broke through to the mainstream through an Instagram reel of us discussing mixtapes and BBC2 idents, generating a high level of (mostly positive) interest from new listeners to the pod (we hope). How will the lads handle their new found fame? More to the point, how will Geoff monetise it? If only he was around somewhere so that he could be asked that question. Once the party begins in earnest, we swap gifts before taking on an extended quiz, then answer some listener questions in our first ever 'Ask Us Anything' . There's far too much Aston Villa/Norwich City content in the end, but it's our birthday so you'll have to let us off. Also this time: Hungry Joes! Culture Club redux! Bees in goalmouth redux! And much, much more... Thank you for all your support over the past five years, we make the show for you and we really do appreciate it. Keep listening, keep in touch and here's to the next five!

It'll Be Alright In The Nineties - S5 E8 - ‘Good Wessex Eggs’ (BBC’s Driving School watch-along)

Join us as we watch along with the very first episode, from 1997.

It'll Be Alright In The Nineties - S5 E7 - Hanging by his calf from his microphone cable (Red Hot Chili Peppers in the 90s)

If You Have To Ask what this episode is about, then you'll never know...don't turn over to the Otherside, because this time on IBAITN, and much to Stu's excitement, we're finally Road Trippin' (OK, that's enough of that) through the history of one of the biggest rock bands of the 90s, Red Hot Chili Peppers. Join us as we look at each classic 90s RHCP album in turn, examining the highs and lows of their decade including more on the John Frusciante redemption arc, the cursed One Hot Minute tour, and the Californication-era gigs with Stu's dream line-up of bands. Plus, your hosts rank their top three Chilis tracks from the era. Also this time: Rich meats and cheeses! A 90s care package from the non-league footballer of the pod! The most 90s stationery!

It'll Be Alright In The Nineties - S5 E6 - 'A decent, upright posture' (Nostalgic 90s Sounds)

Listen up! This time we're talking about one of the purest sources of nostalgia there is - sound and TV theme tunes. It turns out there really is a wealth of 90s nostalgia in the world of audio. We've each picked 5 sounds and 3 TV theme-tunes to discuss, so tune in to find out which of Stu's choices was the subject of extensive online detective work, which form of physical media did both Stu and Alex reference, which slice of sports-based audio can Stu quote along to in real time, and which TV theme tunes almost paralyse Alex with nostalgia... Also this time: Hot air balloons! Another mini-quiz! Maureen from Driving School! And much, much more...
