## Description

"In addition to all of the other ways in which 1999 was revolutionary, the year saw a renaissance of teen-focused films. The most successful was "American Pie," but was it the best? (No.) Has "American Pie" aged worse than any other film of 1999? (Probably.) Is there a more problematic sequence than the Shannon Elizabeth-webcam debacle? (Haven't seen one yet.) Is there anything redeeming about this movie? (Alyson Hannigan?). Join Phil and Kenny for a discussion of the lewd, silly, but surprisingly still influential sleeper hit of 1999, "American Pie.""

Dick

## Description

"Phil and Kenny are joined by writer Stacy Traub (The Real O’Neals, Blackish, Glee) for an intimate discussion about the 1999 Richard Nixon comedy, Dick.

Although not a big hit, when it comes to cultural significance, Dick is more of a grow-er than a show-er. But Dick was a hard movie to pull off. How do you take a dingaling like Richard Nixon and avoid turning him into a one-eyed monster? How do you turn two 15 year old girls (Kirsten Dunst and Michelle Williams) into the trouser snakes who brought down the White House without making myriad boners? And how do you do a podcast about Dick without erecting an oral monument to Dick puns?

Join the crew for this episode about a movie that is a cocked rifle shooting a wad of premonition from 1999 into the unsuspecting face of 2018."

"Hello, and welcome to *Podcast Like It's 1999*, the podcast where we look back at the movies from 1999 from our perches here in 2018."

When Betsy visits Arlene at the Watergate Motel, the two accidentally stumble into the middle of the infamous Watergate robbery. In order to keep them quiet, Nixon (Dan Hedaya) appoints them as honorary dog walkers. As they travel in and out of the White House, their seemingly innocent actions start a chain of events that may eventually lead to Nixon's resignation as president of the United States."
