Together they examine Best Kiss 1996, where Species beat out Desperado, Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls, How to Make An American Quilt and A Walk in the Clouds. They’ll marvel at how little of a cultural footprint these movies had, try to find the lesson in Species very memorable, very violent, award-winning kiss, get very mad at Ace Ventura 2, gush about an underseen gem and more. You won’t want to miss this one.

Best Kiss 1995: Unintentional Comedy Kiss
This week Kenny and Ben untangle Dumb and Dumber, which beat Before Sunrise, Natural Born Killers, Speed and True Lies for the Best Kiss win. Should this kinda funny comedy kiss really have won? Elsewhere, Speed was the most nominated film of its year but why is its kiss just so goofy? Why was one of the Before Sunrise actors so nervous before their kiss scene? And what are the physics of True Lies? All this and more will be explored so get out your golden popcorns and get ready to pass them!
