Description

Phil and Kenny are joined on the podcast this week by director and animator Miguel Jiron (Into the Spiderverse) to discuss - yawn - Hiyao Miyazaki's "Princess Mononoke."   We have some real slogs in 1999, but few are as rote as this one, folks. It's a story you've heard a million times. Boy kills giant hog imbued with a demon spirit. The spirit gets inside him and gives him, you guessed it, superhuman strength but, yup, is also going to kill him.     In an effort to find a cure, he encounters a wolf goddess and her human daughter, San. I know, grow an imagination, Miyazaki.    Of course, they don't fall in love, but grow to have a mutual respect for each other, like pretty much every story about a young man and woman in traumatic circumstances.    That says nothing of the other mundane things he runs into, like your cliched group of bandaged of lepers manufacturing firearms or the tree spirits who probably hold the secret to all life on earth.    On top of that, visually it looks like a Monet come to life and populated with best and worst living dreams and nightmares of a opium eater. Like every other fucking movie ever.    Well, we said we'd do every movie, so here's Princess Mononoke for you. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

In a lot of ways 1999 was the year that changed movies. From “The Matrix” and “The Blair Witch Project” to “American Beauty” and “The Sixth Sense”, the last year of the millennium was transformative for Hollywood. Through "Podcast Like It's 1999" writers Phillip Iscove (co-creator of FOX's Sleepy Hollow) and Kenny Neibart (Entourage, Hindsight) examine this apex of Cinema, before television took over, before Reality TV, before TMZ and Twitter but also after the internet, after Clinton, after OJ, after Howard Stern and Jerry Springer. This podcast will cover the over 250 exciting, funny and influential movies produced that year. Get excited to do a deep dive into all things 1999.
