Description

Emmy winning writer/producer Lila Byock (Watchmen, Castle Rock) joins us for a staycation in the painfully unrealized underbelly of THE 'BURBS.In our second outing with Tom Hanks, we assess the crash course this movie almost sent him on, and how this might be one of his weakest performances. We also talk about the rocky production during the writers strike, compare it to better suburbs based movies, and discuss the many thematic misfires, from the borderline xenophobia, to its hesitance to be as goofy as it needs to be.Find Lila at: http://twitter.com/LByockPatreon: http://patreon.com/PodcastlikeitsTwitter: http://twitter.com/podcastlikeitsInstagram: http://instagram.com/podcastlikeitsReddit: http://reddit.com/r/podcastlikeits Hosted on Acast.

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.
