Kenny and Ben take on their biggest challenge yet: a year with only four movies. Luckily the winner this year is Cruel Intentions, one of the most iconic movie kisses of all time and that film, along with fellow nominees Never Been Kissed and Teaching Mrs. Tingle offer a lot of fun stuff to talk about. Then Kenny and Ben have a serious discussion about 4th nominee Boys Don’t Cry and try to unpack some of the many issues around the movie including its portrayal of its trans protagonist, changes to the historical record and the incredibly upsetting violence depicted in the movie. (Timecode for the Boys Don’t Cry Segment is 1:07:15-1:30:35 for anyone who wants or needs to skip it). Is there tonal whiplash between that one segment and the rest of the episode? Definitely. But don’t worry! the bulk of the episode is very fun as we deal with convoluted manipulations, stilted performances and the sobering reality that Never Been Kissed is somehow the most normal movie on the list. It’s quite an episode so give it a listen.

In this super-sized episode, Kenny and Ben are joined by their pal Jack Read for a discussion about the films of Best Kiss 1999, led by Shakespeare in Love which beat out Out of Sight, Wild Things, Lolita (ugh), and There’s Something About Mary. Among the many, many topics that come up in this episode: insight into the life of Shakespeare, the works of Elmore Leonard, the idea of movie stardom, the many twists and oddly satisfying sleaziness of Wild Things, a serious discussion of the problems with Lolita and the decision to nominate it, the setting of the third Night at the Museum film, and an extended spoiler-filled conversation about both Space Jam movies for some reason. It’s a long one but a good one.
