This week, we're cracking open the vault and dissecting Ben Younger's groundbreaking film, “Boiler Room,” on its 25th anniversary. More than just a flashy depiction of Wall Street greed, “Boiler Room” offered a starkly realistic look at the pressure-cooker environment of a pump-and-dump brokerage. We'll analyze Younger's directorial choices, Giovanni Ribisi's electrifying performance, and Vin Diesel's memorable supporting role. We'll also discuss the film's impact on the careers of Nia Long, Ben Affleck, Nicky Katt, Scott Caan, Tom Everett Scott, Ron Rifkin, and more! Joining us for his discussion is Paul of The Review Review Podcast who is on board to offer up some compelling insight on a film that he chose for us to deep dive as the film crosses this major milestone.
Join us as we explore the film and why we think it should be allowed to stand up proudly alongside similar films of the genre that are much more well known. From its commentary on ambition, ethics, and the pursuit of the American Dream, “Boiler Room” is a film everyone should get familiar with.

Scream a little louder! We're celebrating the 25th anniversary of “Scream 3,” the final chapter (for a while!) in Wes Craven's iconic slasher trilogy. Join us as we revisit the Hollywood horrors facing Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell), Gale Weathers (Courteney Cox), and Dewey Riley (David Arquette). We'll dissect the killer's motives, discuss the addition of stars like Patrick Dempsey, Parker Posey, and Scott Foley, and ponder how real life events changed the direction of the film. Was “Scream 3” a fitting end? Or did the script changes by Ehren Kruger fall short of Kevin Williamson's original vision? Joining us for this discussion is one of our favorite guests, Mark J. Parker of the Release Date Rewind podcast, who is not only the king of anniversaries, but has also been with us on every single Scream episode we have done to date! Hit play and let's scream about it together!
