   Episode 149: PLEASANTVILLE (1998)

   It looks like another sunny day here at NostalgiaCast, with a high of 72 and a low of 72 as Jonny and Darin tune in to PLEASANTVILLE, directed by Gary Ross and starring Tobey Maguire, Jeff Daniels, Joan Allen, and Reese Witherspoon. Friend and fellow podcaster Robert Yaniz Jr. is our very special guest for this episode, in which we discuss the peachy keen comedy, boss digital FX, and outta-this-world performances that bring this multi-meaning'd social commentary fantasy to life.

   Episode 148: OUT OF SIGHT (1998)

   You wanted to tussle? Let's tussle, as NostalgiaCast sets its sights on OUT OF SIGHT, directed by Steven Soderbergh and starring George Clooney, Jennifer Lopez, Ving Rhames, Don Cheadle, Steve Zahn, and Albert Brooks. Jonny and Darin discuss the movie as an Elmore Leonard adaptation with a voice, the jump cuts, freeze frames, and electric filmmaking choices that defined the rest of Soderbergh's career, and the megawatt movie star performances by Clooney and Lopez. Also, where does the movie rank among PULP FICTION wannabes?

   Episode 147: THE MASK OF ZORRO (1998)

   Justice leaves its mark! Grab your whip and your fedora as NostalgiaCast celebrates cinema's other greatest pulp adventure hero with a retrospective look at THE MASK OF ZORRO, directed by Martin Campbell and starring Anthony Hopkins, Antonio Banderas, and Catherine Zeta-Jones. Friend and fellow podcaster Stanford Clark joins Jonny and Darin for a swashbuckling, horse-riding, Spanish Tango-ing discussion of this '90s adventure classic, the characters (like Batman and Indiana Jones) that Johnston McCulley's iconic creation inspired, and the story choices and practical stuntwork that sets the movie apart from 99% of all blockbusters today.
