WARNING: This episode spoils "The Sixth Sense," and it contains a bit more cussing than usual! Giving notice about "The Sixth Sense" because we have encountered people who still haven't seen the film or been spoiled about it. If you have not seen this film, please don't listen to this episode until after you've watched. The films that we spoil just aren't important enough to warn you about spoilage, ha ha!

Join Susan, Kelly, and Cort as we take a nostalgic dive into the "cinematic treasures" of 1999. We discuss a rang of films, from the cult classic "Deep Blue Sea" to the quirky "Being John Malkovich," all to celebrate the 25th anniversary of these iconic movies.
