Episode 16 - The Truth About Cats and Dogs

In this episode, Tim and Andrew revisit the 1996 rom com, The Truth About Cats and Dogs.

Episode 15 - She's All That

One of the true 90's classics - Tim and Andrew dive into She's All That. Starring Rachael Leigh Cook, Freddie Prinze Jnr, Matthew Lillard, Paul Walker and Jodi Lyn O'Keefe with appearances from a heap of classic 90's actors, this is the movie that created the She's All That effect: Woman wears glasses and is into art, declared by all and sundry to be an ugly dork; woman takes off glasses, given a haircut and put in a dress; shock - she is beautiful! Has time been kind to She's All That?  Is it as good as Tim and Andrew remember or is the 41% Tomatometer a fairer representation?  Let's find out!

Episode 14 - Deep Rising

Pop quiz hotshot: Name a movie from the late 90s involving lots of deaths on a huge ship in the middle of the ocean. No, this is not Titanic!  Why settle for Leonardo DiCaprio when you can have Treat Williams?  Kate Winslet?  Try Famke Jansson!  Falling into a propeller and then freezing in the icy waters?  How about getting half-digested by a monstrous tentacled creature? But was Deep Rising any good?  Andrew and Tim dive in to those murky waters to find out.   Full scream ahead! WARNING: SPOILERS

Episode 13 - Lake Placid

In 1999, David E Kelley, the star writer who had brought the world (at that time) Picket Fences, Chicago Hope, The Practice and Ally McBeal, said - "I can do more than write TV shows about quirky lawyers and doctors... I can write movies about quirky cops, quirky palaeontologists and giant (presumably quirky) crocodiles." And so he did, bringing Bridget Fonda, Bill Pullman, Oliver Platt and Brendan Gleeson along for the ride.  Even Betty White dropped in. But could he replicate his TV magic touch in the cinema, in a genre he had not previously written (and does not appear to have attempted since)? Tim and Andrew found out the hard way.  WARNING: SPOILERS
