Welcome to America's least necessary film criticism podcast. Each week, a guest will join hosts Noah Frank and Will Vitka to discuss a film that is at least 10 years old, that at least one of us hasn't seen in that period of time, and that, hopefully, at least one of us hasn't seen at all. No classics, no bombs. This is about revisiting regular movies that we think we liked when we first saw them, to see how both we and the culture around the film have changed in the intervening years. In contrast to the constant, life-or-death anxiety of the last few years, to the unyielding firehose of news, this podcast aims only to answer a single question with the lowest stakes imaginable: Do you still like this movie?

We Scrooge McDuck dive deep into the vault to pull out this 90s relic, brought to us by guest A.C. If you’ve never heard of this film, that’s because it’s almost impossible to find, outside of unlicensed YouTube streams.
Written by and starring Alex Winter, along with Brooke Shields, William Sadler, and an uncredited Keanu Reeves, this film also brings us our first double-up actor on the podcast in...John Hawkes, of all people. He will forever hold a special place in our hearts and minds.
Despite its eight-figure budget, the film was pulled from American theaters shortly after release, making less than $30,000 worldwide, a new ITILTM record.
We also very nearly eclipse the run time of this 80-minute anachronism, so settle in and get ready to get weird.
