68: 1999 - The Year of Ghost Dog Days

1999 was a major year for film. Plenty of beloved blockbusters and future cult classics came from this final year in the 20th century. Now, Adam Thomas and Thomas Mariani are here to talk two films from this iconic year in cinema with special guest Lance Langford of The Horror Returns podcast! For the good feature, Adam picked Jim Jarmusch's Ghost Dog: Way of the Samurai which features Forest Whitaker fighting the mob with a katana in the chillest way possible. Then, Thomas' bad pick End of Days in which Arnold Schwarzenegger fights the devil in the most baffling way possible. Together, our trio spews love for ice cream scooping Frenchmen, wonders how many times Arnold has to jump, makes a big announcement about the podcast and picks the films for next week's episode on Japanese Cinema! So get into your time machine and get ready to party like it's 1999 while listening to us!
