6 JAN 2020 · This is it! Mike and John's grand experiment comes to an end as they review the final weeks of 1994, which gave us such the controversial comic gem Dumb and Dumber, the trainwreck disasterpiece Mixed Nuts, British import The Madness of King George, Robert Altman's Pret a Porter, and a bevvy of other films that wanted to be awards contenders...or were trying to get released with as little embarrassment as possible.

9 DEC 2019 · Mike and John revisit the week in 1994 that unleashed Queen Margot (OK?), Disclosure (based on a book by Michael Crichton and directed by Barry Levinson, starring Michael Douglas and Demi Moore) and...Drop Zone (based on a fever dream, probably, starring Wesley Snipes and lots of parachutes)!
So which were they able to see? Which were they able to tolerate? Which had a zanier ending? Which prompted a serious social discussion, and which has Gary Busey? When will I stop asking questions???
You'll never know...unless you listen to RetroPerspective and/or possess the will to research it all yourself! But we did all this work, so why not listen?

2 DEC 2019 · Mike and John revisit the week in 1994 that brought us Tom & Viv, Trapped in Paradise, and Cobb, which was totally supposed to be Oscar bait but missed it by a country mile.

11 NOV 2019 · John and Mike revisit the week in 1994 that gave us the socially-conscious Drop Squad, the historically-focused curiosity The Road to Wellville, the mysteriously difficult to find Silent Fall, the Disney release Squanto: A Warrior’s Tale, and the movie that made Deviln & Emmerich a Hollywood force to reckon with...
...Stargate starring Kurt Russell, James Spader, and John's fascination with Kurt Russell.

4 NOV 2019 · ​John and Mike are back and they're catching up on 1994, covering some exciting weeks which include Pulp Fiction, Quiz Show, Shawshank Redemption, and whatever the hell else might've come out during that time.
We appreciate your patience as we worked to get the show back up and running! If you want to yell at Mike about it on Twitter or Letterboxd, look for him @mumbles3k. To blame John, seek @kesseljunkie.
But it's a massive, super-sized return to form, and this was worth the wait! We think. Thanks for listening!

9 SEP 2019 · John & Mike revisit a week that had a lot of stinkers, but they both watched the one that Rotten Tomatoes loved best: "What Happened Was..." written and directed by Tom Noonan. They also talk about urban legends having to do with legendary baseball player Cal Ripken, Jr. (not) beating up his good friend Kevin Costner, and John's determination to pay more attention to Rotten Tomatoes ratings for the rest of their visit through 1994.
