90mins On Film

On this episode we revisit the neon-soaked, one-liner-loaded survival game show satire, 1987's sci-fi action spectacle, 'The Running Man,' starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. From its razor-sharp satire of media and government to Arnie’s more than classic line deliveries, this film gives us more than enough to talk about. Joined by Ben Gonzalez, one-third of the Movies In Trouble podcast, we break down the film’s wild pr...

Recorded live at Beyond The Grave in Downey, California, the largest Halloween pop-up bar in Los Angeles, the 90mins On Film crew brings you a very special episode, just in time for spooky season! We’re diving into 2009’s 'Zombieland,' a horror-comedy classic that taught us the importance of cardio, the double-tap, and avoiding clown zombies at all costs. Joining us for this chaotic celebration is Bort, the operations man...

Producer Samantha Garcia returns to celebrate the 20th Anniversary of 'House of Wax',  the gory remake that turned mid-2000s pop culture into a horror show. A self-proclaimed defender of this very niche film, Samantha makes her case for why this film deserves more respect, while we dig into the fascinating reinvention of Paris Hilton, and the undeniably weird onscreen attraction between the film’s leads. It’s wax, it’s wi...

"As far back as I can remember I always wanted to be..." a podcaster..?

In celebration of the 35th anniversary of Martin Scorsese’s Goodfellas, we’re going full Henry Hill and breaking our own rules with our longest episode to date! We spend nearly 2hrs of us obsessing over Ray Liotta’s cocaine-fueled paranoia, Joe Pesci’s unhinged antices, and Robert De Niro’s villianous gazes. And since family is everything, we've b...

It's 'Mob Movie Month' and we’re talkin' 'Donnie Brasco' (1997), the movie where Johnny Depp goes undercover in the mob still looking like Johnny Depp, and Al Pacino plays the most low-energy gangster of his career, and it somehow weirdly works. It’s a tale of friendship, betrayal, and the kind of loyalty that makes you wonder if friends are worth dying for. Joining us is special guest Ray Montano, who...

In this episode we tackle Steven Soderbergh’s "Out of Sight" (1998), the smooth, stylish crime caper that helped make George Clooney a movie star, and, against all odds, convinced us that (the-artist-formerly-known-as) Jennifer Lopez could actually act... Yes, the same JLo responsible for a string of recent cinematic crimes turns in such a memorable performance here, that we’re forced to eat our words… at least for 90 min...

"90mins On Film returns," and we’re headed back to 1995 for 'Get Shorty,' the slick, satirical crime-comedy that turned John Travolta into a cool leading man (again), gave us a peak into Elmore Leonard's swagger (again), and pulled back the velvet curtain on Hollywood’s sleazy underbelly. In this episdoe we break down Barry Sonnenfeld’s precision direction, the perfect casting, and how a movie about making ...

It’s all in the reflexes... and we’re celebrating the anniversary of John Carpenter’s modern Western and kung fu cult classic "Big Trouble in Little China," and this time, we’ve brought backup! 

Joining us all the way from Japan is special guest host (and 1/3 of 'Movies In Trouble') Ben Gonzalez, along with special guest Erns, a Southern Californian lens wizard, to help us shake the pillars of heaven. 

From ancien...

In this episode we celebrate two milestones: the 63rd birthday of the one and only Tom Cruise, and the 25th Anniversary of the John Woo directed "Mission: Impossible 2." 

Back for her 5th appearance is Producer/Writer/Director Samantha Garcia, returning to defend "M:I 2’s" slow-motion, doves, and the thinly veiled homoerotic love squared plot involving Ethan Hunt, Nyah Hall, Sean Ambrose, and Ambrose's sulki...

After a short hiatus, "90mins On Film returns!" Celebrating the 20th Anniversary of 'Batman Begins,'  we'll examine how Christopher Nolan’s grounded, gritty reboot (starring Christian Bale, Liam Neeson, Michael Caine, and Morgan Freeman), reshaped the superhero movie landscape, launched the acclaimed Dark Knight Trilogy, gave birth to the now defunct DCU, and influenced everything from Marvel’s cinematic am...

"Yippee-ki-yay, mother**ker!" It's been 30 years since John McClane rolled out of bed (with a hangover) and straight into a city-wide terrorist scavenger hunt in 'Die Hard with a Vengeance.' 

In this anniversary episode, we dive headfirst into the explosive third installment, which marked John McTiernan's glorious return to the franchise, and unpack the high-octane action, the unbeatable chemistry betwe...

"Sinners" (2025) is a period piece which spirals from slow-burn drama, into a vampire bloodbath in vain of Quentin Tarantino & Robert Rodriguez's 'From Dusk Till Dawn in its second half, and has taken the box office by storm since its release this April.

Marking the third collaboration between Ryan Coogler and Michael B. Jordan, and set in the sweltering atmosphere of the Mississippi Delta of the 1930's,...

In this episode, we hit the streets for 'Training Day' — and we’re not alone! Joining us is a real-life police detective, known only as “Pac-Man,” who brings insider insight, wild stories, and… more technical difficulties than a precinct’s outdated radio system. 

From Denzel Washington’s iconic chaotic portrayal, to the ethics of crooked cops, and Ethan Hawke's dynamic enbodiment of a naive rookie, we dive deep into o...

In this episode, we dive into 'Colors' (1988), Dennis Hopper’s gritty and controversial look at gang violence in Los Angeles. Starring Robert Duvall and Sean Penn as two LAPD officers caught between community tensions and their own clashing ideologies, the film sparked debate upon release for its raw portrayal of gang life. Listen as we explore its legacy, impact, where it falls in the landscape of late '80s crime dr...

In the chilling finale of Serial Killer Month, we deep dive into Bill Paxton’s eerie directorial debut, 'Frailty' [2001]. This psychological horror-thriller blurs the line between divine justice and delusional madness, featuring powerhouse performances from Paxton, Matthew McConaughey and Powers Boothe.

From years of development struggles, to Cooper’s directorial debut, and the pressure of reimagining a Hollywood classic, we unravel some of the challenges that almost derailed the film before it became an Oscar-winning phenomenon.

Just in time for Super Bowl Sunday, '90mins On Film' takes the field with "The Replacements," a sports comedy that fumbled its way into theaters as Keanu Reeves’ follow-up to "The Matrix." Loosely inspired by the 1987 NFL players' strike, the film follows a ragtag team of misfits led by Keanu Reeves and Gene Hackman, but despite its underdog spirit, it never quite finds the end zone. In this episo...

Mike Judge’s 2006 cult classic, 'Idiocracy'—a film that has sparked debate for nearly two decades. While one of us appreciates it for what it was at the time, the other two think "it’s just plain stupid..." Is it clever satire, or just lowbrow absurdity? In this epsiode we break down its social commentary, its unexpected cultural relevance, and whether it deserves its cult status.
