‘1999’ with Special Guests Libby Noble & Rhian Todhunter (Movie Squad Podcast Episode #8)
We just wanna go back, back to 1999, to take a ride in our old cinematic neighbourhood! Taking a cue from Charli XCX, our Movie Squad reviewers Simon Miraudo and Tristan Fidler are joined by RTRFM’s new Out to Lunch (Monday) duo Libby Noble and Rhian Todhunter to talk the films of 1999! Listen to them reflect on the best, worst and weirdest trends from 20 years back, and re-evaluate films like Fight Club, Magnolia, American Beauty, Being John Malkovich, The Blair Witch Project and many, many more. Is it really the ‘great’ year for cinema everyone remembers it to be? Why did everyone go so crazy for The Cider House Rules? And how come Tom Cruise played so many psychosexual weirdos? We get into it.
