Refined 90’s Cinema
Nostalgia unscripted. Refined 90’s Cinema is a podcast with two best friends reviewing movies from the 1990s. Brendan and Alex discuss movies, reviews and life. In trilogy format, our co-hosts dive deep into some of our favourite 90’s movies and some we’ve never seen. Warning: This podcast is explicit.
Episodes
Listeners be advised: this movie is ridiculous and explicit. Welcome to Canada. We dish about Niagara Falls, the end of the summer and whether BDubs is real food. This low-budget slasher flick has it all: sex, drugs and rock and roll. The pacing is slow, but the weird sex scene keeps us interested until the dystopian-trash-helmet activates and we see the man behind the helmet is actually a middle-aged male voyeur who is wearing mas...
Content warning: This movie has discussion about suicide, threats of suicide by characters and also, depictions of suicide and murder. If you need help or are concerned about the welfare of someone else, please visit, findahelpline.com or Reddit /r/SuicideWatch hotlines.
Alex and Brendan get into a steaming pile of a film. 1994’s Mixed Nuts was both hated by critics and forgotten by the public and our collective unconscious. It’s d...
We get creeped out with a spongy-meatball on this episode of Refined 90’s Quick Hits!

It’s time to morph into a podcast listener and get those headphones powered up!
Alex is the Power Rangers™ fountain of knowledge. He gives us the inside-scoop on all the colours (even the white/green one). Then we comment on the special effects, the goo, the toxic ooze and the mat paintings.
It was a voyage like Laserhawk (1993) with tons of bad SFX. Join us, as Alex goes back in-time to relive a childhood memory. We totally forgot...
A very quick, quick hits. We watch an episode of 1994’s Dinosaurs. A sitcom family with very questionable morals. We try to figure it out, using our present-day knowledge.

An instant classic Refined 90’s episode in the making. We’ve got fissures, Elden Ring, a Pokemon corner, Chianti, stupid cereal boxes, and (oh yeah) also a movie podcast. Alex sees a magical chest that resembles one he already has in his office. The discussion then devolved into a confusing mess of confusion. We get our Clinton’s mixed up. Then, the plot fixes itself.

The boys watch the psychological-crime-thriller Seven (1995). It’s dark to start and basically stays exactly that way throughout. The detective duo of not-Denzel and not-Pacino go through the fictional city of not-NY and do some detective stuff. Alex sings a few songs. For all of this movie’s thrills, it really did not leave much to be discussed.

After another hiatus, we are back! We couldn’t be cops and we definitely couldn’t be negotiators or people with guns. Samuel has one chance, one opportunity to not go to prison for killing his partner (we think). He’s gotta make a deal with only twenty-four herrrrssszzzz.
He wants answers and the only way to get them is with gratuitous focus pulls and Paul Giamatti. The swat whatever team is doing everything they can to keep the F...
It was a simpler time, it was a better time. When we roamed free, we had five television channels. Brendan and Alex misremember how terrible Detroit-area law commercials really were in the 90s. Then, we rediscover a past love, The Guillory Family by re-enacting their famous Slap the Rice Bag: A Venom Fan Fiction video, poorly.
Quick Hits 5 | Sam Mandela Effect Barenstein

We begin this Christmas special by eating Sweet Chili Heat Doritos®. As all podcasters should annoy their audiences by eating crunchy foods whilst recording.
We are back in the studio for one final episode of 2021. Shot in Oakville, a suburb of Toronto, Ontario, this suburban comedy takes us back to the era of Mercury Topaz’s and Denny’s.
Apparently, Timothy is a great actor with which to work. Did he gain weight for the film? We d...

We continue our big conversation into Big Tech™ about how Google will enslave us all! Brendan recommends KeepassXC (for Linux or OSX) or Keepass (for Windows) to save all of your passwords with a master password. You can even sync them across devices like your phone or laptop. And another thing is to use two factor–2FA (or multi-factor) authentication.
Dale then pivots to the Jenna Marbles story-time time and we lament jerks being ...
We have a very special guest in the studio. This episode, our graphic designer and CAD aficionado friend Dale joins us for many hours of rambunctious ramblings. We talk about anime, cool but sad webcomics, domain names (Hover shout-out) and many other things on this first of a multi-part series.
It’s a slice of life on this part 1 (of 2 or 3) sub-podcast. Our regularly scheduled programming will be back soon.
Recorded in-front of ...
Alex teaches us all about art as we watch a 90’s children’s classic: Art Attack!
On this Quick Hits 4, Art Attack host Neil Buchanan, who people on the Internet have mistaken for Banksy, still has a career as a beloved Scottish artist after 17 years of a wonderful television series. We draw and then Brendan lost our drawings. That jerk!

Cool movie, sinus infections and an overworked Alex makes podcast a dull boy. What? Sometimes, life is exactly that… confusing and uninteresting. We are thrust into this world in a chaotic state and scramble to find meaning and purpose until we die.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
All the best,
Brendan & Alex
We watch a very timely Bill Nye episode on this third Quick Hits episode. This is a sneak peak of our extravaganza with our special guest yet to come. Season 3, Episode 9 of Bill Nye: Germs. Don’t wash your fruit. Wash your hands and your genitals.

Quick Hits 1 | 90’s Commercial Break
Recorded: September 20, 2021
Our very first Quick Hits! We watched some 90's commercials. They didn't age well at all. We then watched some 2021 commercials. Now I want Barbie dolls, cat food , soap operas and fast food for some reason. Does gum stay in you for 7 years? Snopes.com. I still want to buy into the Columbia House scam. Did you have a Sega?

We get to see Robin in the nude and try out livestreaming before getting copyright struck by the AI bots. We really disliked this movie. It was very odd.

Did we watch Flubber? We did.
Alex begins our show discussing his Pokemon obsession. It’s basically PokeHoarders at his house. Someone call TLC. Alex laments the Nova Scotia accent. Send the hate mail his way. Then on Dirty Laundry, we discuss anal issues and “not being done”. Make the flubber. Then we see Shooter McGavin try and marry his wife. Wil Weaton plays the bad guy’s son and Clancy Brown from Earth II is in the movie too! ...
