It's a WEDNESDAY in 1999, and we have two amazing films released on this Wednesday. One of them is a groundbreaking science fiction film that changed practical camerawork forever, and Shane discusses those visual improvements to the world of film. Then, we have a modern day update to William Shakespeare's "The Taming of the Shrew" - in the teen romantic comedy "10 Things I Hate About You". Shane discusses the cast, his obsession with Julia Stiles, and then goes deep into the music that makes this film such an amazing and memorable classic.

Shane Talks '99: March 12th, 1999
Shane has a trifecta of genres to cover this week. Starting with the angsty-teen-horror flick "The Rage: Carrie 2". Next up is a look at the disappointment of Marky Mark and Chow Yun-Fat in "The Corruptor". Finally, it's a hard look at "Wing Commander" which Shane argues is "Top Gun" in Space. A hot-hot pilor shows up and has confrontations with the other hot shot pilot, then he begins to flirt with his female superior. His best friend and sidekick is a wise-cracking goofball. And there is a lot of "inverted" talk throughout the film. Sex, Corruption, and Space - just another week in 1999.

Shane Talks - Episode 63: Soundtracks of Our Lives
We're taking a minute to slow down the start of the show this week, as two friends close to the show have both been dealing with some serious health issues, and we wanted to address them and send them some love and support.

Danielle then gets the show back on track by telling Shane her five favorite soundtracks, which then allows Jason and Shane to finish the episode talking about their Top Fives, and the other soundtracks listed by members of the Facebook group.
