"34: Dead Poets Society w/ Rachelle Lefevre & INTERVIEW w/ Tom Schulman" is the 34th Patreon episode in the Podcast Like It's 1989 series hosted by Kenny Neibart and Phil Iscove. The episode was released on December 6, 2021 and released from behind the paywall on July 17, 2023. The interview with Tom Schulman starts at 2:00.

## Description

"Actress Rachelle Lefevre returns to wipe away the post modern takes on Peter Weir's 1989 classic, DEAD POETS SOCIETY.

We talk about comedians taking on dramatic roles (and vice versa), the subgenre of "the great teacher", and the bits of this film that appear less than politically correct in retrospect. We also discuss the growing opinion that this movie isn't actually good, the beauty behind it's relentless positivity, and our qualms with retrospective film criticism.

THEN screenwriter Tom Schulman joins us to discuss his creative process, roadblocks, and successes while writing the film!

Ben Hosley

**Ben Hosley** (@benhosley on Twitter) is the producer of Blank Check with Griffin and David. He is a professional podcast producer, formerly for UCB Comedy and now for a variety of AudioBoom (Blank Check's main host site) podcasts.

## Biography

He grew up in New Jersey and has referred to himself then as "a bad kid," noting that he purposefully liked to annoy his father, friends' parents, and other adults. Since then he has led a life rich with experiences, particularly living in New York City, and has many stories to tell.

Ben is a great fan of obsolete technology, and thrills whenever it is featured in a movie under discussion. Examples include the Apple Newton, old-fashioned computer monitors, fax machines, and the like. He also likes big things, soakin' wet things(slick flicks), and vaporwave. Recently however Ben has shifted to from preferring soakin' wet things to being a Dry Guy.

He hosts a vaporwave based online radio show on kpiss.fm called **ＶＡＰＯＲ** on Tuesdays at 10PM EST. And he's also been getting into fashion. (Ask him about his line of buried jeans.)

Ben's first appearance on Podcast Like It's 1999 resulted in a scheduling mix-up and so he appeared in a double episode with Karen Han. He also was present during the Mystery Men episode and even did the U.K. bit.

With a culture based around violence, god-like personas, and bitter rivalries, it's easy to forget the real life people behind this larger than life form of entertainment. Through Barry W. Blaustein's critically acclaimed and intimate documentary about the lives of three wrestlers, at three wildly different points in their careers, we take an in-depth look at this wildly contradictory art form. We also pick Dave's mind about the odd job of writing for wrestling, the community surrounding the industry, and the famous attitude era this film is set in.

Can Phil and Kenny record another podcast ostensibly about “Double Jeopardy” without breaking the law?

Can they again argue about Ashley Judd’s squandered potential without ending up in jail?

Can they re-litigate the believability of this film while also contextualizing it within the specific but oddly widespread genre of “shadowy poster thrillers” and still reunite with their long-lost son?

Download this episode to find out, and also be complicit in what may be a crime."

Afterward, the ghosts of great players start emerging from the crops to play ball, led by "Shoeless" Joe Jackson. But, as Ray learns, this field of dreams is about much more than bringing former baseball greats out to play."

"David Iserson joins us this week to talk about the second big miss of Steven Spielberg's career, the critically panned romantic drama Always.

Get ready for two hours of Richard Dreyfuss dunking, as we try to figure out what went so wrong in the creation of this tepid remake. Would Always have been a classic with a more charming actor in the lead role? We talk about what this movie could have been if Spielberg were able to cast his first choices, what we think works about the concept and script, and where we think it went so, horrifically wrong (Hint, it's mostly Dreyfuss).

Stay until the end to hear our Spielberg top tens!

8mm

"32: 8mm with Jim Campolongo" is the 33rd overall episode of *Podcast Like It's 1999* covering the films, television and pop culture of 1999, hosted by Phil Iscove and Kenny Neibart. The episode was released on July 4, 2018.

## Description

"Just in time for the Fourth of July, Podcast Like It's 1999 brings you 1999's Most American film!

Phil Iscove, Kenny Neibart and TV Writer Jim Campolongo (Station 19, White Collar) take a big, old Red, White and Blue dive into the world of... snuff films? Wait, what? We're releasing the snuff movie on Independence Day?

(Well, let's see if we can make this work using my questionable understanding of the American Revolution almost entirely gleaned from Lin-Manuel Miranda's *Hamilton*..)

Nicolas Cage plays a private detective. He's kind of like the... George Washington (?) of this movie.

He's tasked with helping an old lady (Martha Washington -- or maybe she represents the Colonies themselves?) with figuring out whether her husband (easy, King George III) had a young woman raped and murdered on film (okay, the young woman represents the collective victims of the Boston Massacre?!).

On Cage's journey (Washington's March from Newport to Yorktown), he encounters many colorful characters (Rochambeau, Lafayette, other *Hamilton* references) and finds one odd fellow played by Joaquin Phoenix, willing to be his unlikely Right-Hand Man (HAMILTON HIMSELF! THIS IS WORKING!!!).

Together they enter the dark, sordid world of underground fringe porn and snuff film (New Jersey) where they find the man responsible for the snuff film, Peter Stormare (General Howe). Joaquin meets his untimely end (not gonna gloat or anything, but...) and Cage, like Washington, wins the day, but loses a bit of himself in the process.

Then he becomes President."

## Kenny's Intro

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

A widow named Mrs. Christian (Myra Carter) has found what appears to be a snuff film among her late husband's belongings, and she wants Welles to determine if the movie is real or fake. Welles heads to California, where a video store employee (Joaquin Phoenix) helps him infiltrate the dangerous and depraved world of illegal porn movies."
