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.

Highlights:

• Deep Blue Sea: We "dissect" this action-packed shark thriller, discussing its blend of horror and science fiction. We dive into the film's plot, the memorable death scenes, and the surprising twists that keep viewers "on the edge of their seats." Special attention is given to Samuel L. Jackson's shocking demise and LL Cool J's unexpected survival.
• South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut: Kelly shares her experience rewatching this irreverent animated comedy, reflecting on its humor and cultural impact. The hosts discuss the film's satirical take on censorship and its enduring relevance.
• The Sixth Sense: A deep dive into M. Night Shyamalan's psychological thriller, exploring the film's iconic twist and its impact on the genre. We share their initial reactions and how the film holds up 25 years later.
• Practical Magic: Cort revisits this beloved witchy tale, highlighting its themes of sisterhood and empowerment.
• Stir of Echoes: A look at this underrated horror gem starring Kevin Bacon. We compare it to "The Sixth Sense" and discuss its eerie atmosphere and compelling narrative.
• Other 1999 Films: We also touches on other notable films from 1999, including "The Limey," "Mystery Men," "The Audition," and more.

Memorable Quotes:

- "Deep Blue Sea is like Jaws meets Sharknado, but with a lot more surprises and over-the-top moments."

- "The Sixth Sense still gives me chills, even though I know the twist."

- "Being John Malkovich is one of the weirdest and most original films I've ever seen."
