Remember when I teased about there being a part two to the game? Well, I'm here to make good on that promise. Here's the last half of the game. And you won't believe who tries to start a revolution based on a familiar 80s movie. I think we did some soul searching in this episode. You let me know @ericmhunter on Twitter.

When one of the boys is away, it's time to break out the 1 Star Movie Trivia Game but this time it's double packed because Ricky and Eric didn't coordinate who was going to be running the game SO THEY BOTH BROUGHT REVIEWS!! That's right people, show me those crazy eye emojis because this one is twice as long with twice the amount of absolutely bat shit crazy movie reviews.
And we have a theme... can you guess it before they do?

No need to thank me on my amazing impression of Clint Eastwood as I would imagine him in every film he's in because I have no context for westerns. But this one? This one ain't too shabby with an all-star cast.

So, it looks like we just got this one under the wire, and we talk about it. It WAS "released" in 1990 even though it was "made" in 1984. But this one is... well... even looking past Ricky's awful watching while driving, Henry did something to us we weren't expecting: discussing a movie together as a group and then made our decisions at the end of recording rather than before starting. Yup. I can say that this is one of the few times that our conversations moved and changed our thought on the movie by listening to others opinions. And that's what it's all about.

We were all teenagers once. We all have those... urges. Well, not everyone, that we are starting to find out. But boy howdy, was 1999 full of sex, drugs, and rock 'n roll for Generation X. Let us step through a door that somehow became a defining door for all of us on Reel 90. And that door was the pie fucker door. That's right, it's American Pie. A staple in everyone's home.

We continue our raid of the IMDB (seriously, sponsor us. We'll only get better) review archives for the best 1 star content we can find. Only this time, it's with a twist. Ricky talks the lead as we see if Eric can guess what movie it is from a 1 star review.

The boys are a bit backed up at the moment and sometimes life just gets in the way. But that's okay. We've got all sorts to things that you're just going to love. Like, well, how about an old episode? It's sort of topical.
Critically considered as writer/director Smith’s best work, the hosts of REEL 90 are split 50/50 this week. Does Chasing Amy’s 1997 indie allure still hold up? You decide…

Holden and Banky are comic book artists. Everything’s going good for them until they meet Alyssa, also a comic book artist. Holden falls for her, but his hopes are crushed when he finds out she’s gay.
You heard that right. Nick's dead again. I admitted to murder but Ricky's being silly about it. I mean, we both were there. He was LITERALLY KING STABBING FACE that day. I don't get it. Why is he acting so funny?
Anyway. It's the trivia game. It's funny. It's fantastic. IMDB, seriously, pick us up. Before we go somewhere else. (I don't know where that would be, but seriously, pick us up.)

When has there been a movie you enjoyed so much . . . you got the main character's name wrong because it resembles the protagonist of a 2000 comedic drama showcasing the life of a record store owner, and compulsive list maker, recount his top five breakups, including the one he's currently in? Huh? Who would do such a thing? Me. It's was me. I do love High Fidelity. But this time around we have our very own Marty McFly bumping around with some ghosts to the tune of Ghostbusters. What could go wrong? Oh, right. His name. I kept calling him Kevin Bannister and not his true name Frank Bannister. Fucking Kevin Bannister. HE WAS HER FIRST BOYFRIEND!!!1!111!!

The Frighteners (1996)
The boys are back at it again with another round of "Did I miss something?" This grizzled, homicidal ex-detective has a lot of explaining to do about EVERYTHING. Telling a story through mostly hearsay is a tough. Does it work out?

We've been through Hell and back. We've seen things you never want to see. A break! WE HAD A BREAK! Well, someone of us were just busy, but after all the fun and games, Reel 90 is back at it again. This time with an interesting, dare I say unexpected, military mystery thriller that has us scratching our heads.

NICK'S NOT DEAD!
I'm as shocked as you are, but now we think Ricky is dead because he wasn't able to make it this time. So you know what that means . . . Eric gets to test his brand new, super amazing, atractive with loads of sex appeal trivia game "1 Star Movie Review Trivia Game!" presented (fingers crossed) by IMDB (one day.)

While Nick is off doing what ever it is he does for money (It's not selling blood and seamen, which checked), Eric gets to try out his very first trivia game on an unsuspecting Ricky. With all of the important information omitted, can Ricky Glore guess the 90s movie based on a poorly written 1 star review on IMDB? What comes next, might surprise you.

So one of us got a casting call. A true casting call. That person was very excited for said casting call. We all encouraged them to do well, to practice, and bid them good luck. Well, it wasn't the call you'd expect. There wasn't even any casting, just some guy with a camera asking weird questions. Who would have known?

Audition (1999)
A widower takes an offer to screen girls at a special audition, arranged for him by a friend to find him a new wife. The one he fancies is not who she appears to be after all.
You know when you got James Wood in as the leading role, you know you're in for a ride. What kind of ride? Well, I won't lie to you, it's not great. It's not great at all.

Vampires (1998)
Recovering from an ambush that killed his entire team, a vengeful vampire slayer must retrieve an ancient Catholic relic that, should it be acquired by vampires, will allow them to walk in sunlight.
What could be the most decisive film in Reel 90 history: is Twister an action film or a horror film? Or an alien film? Or if you're Eric? (Yes I'm writing in the third person, you're welcome.) Be prepared to be blown away by the awesome power of spinning winds at high speeds.
