06/07/23 • 89 min
It's Trilogy Time again! This week we are joined by Eric from Bygone Geek Podcast to discuss one of Aprill's favorite trilogies growing up -- 3 NINJAS! We are rounding off 1992 with what some may call a cult classic and others may call a waste of four hours of their lives. You be the judge on which category you fall into. Come along with us as we battle with American trained Ninjas, Japanese Ninjas and the ever popular Cowboys and Native Americans.
While each of the three movies we are discussing - 3 Ninjas, 3 Ninjas Kick Back, and 3 Ninjas Knuckle Up - all showcase classic 90s male geared themes, we also discuss how these films really do NOT hold up in today's day. and age These movies aren't only confusing in their timeline (Knuckle Up being filmed before Kick Back, but released after), the switching up of two of the main actors, but also are not very culturally appropriate with how they handled certain aspects.
While they will always hold a special place in Aprill's heart for the memories they bring back - we all can't help but agree that these would be massive bombs if released today. Certain themes in the movies could be applied today, however, it's hard to get over how overshadowed those were when up against extreme type-casting and all around not very good stories.
Let us know - did you ever watch these growing up? If so, who did you like most: Rocky, Colt, Tum-Tum or Grandpa?

FernGully: The Last Rainforest w/Everything 90's
One movie from 1992 that people either remember like it was yesterday or have no clue what the hell you are talking about is FernGully.
This week Aprill and Ashley are joined by Shaleena from Everything 90s Podcast to discuss this elusive movie. While only one of us remembers ever watching it as a child, we see how well this holds up in today's society.
We discuss the creepy aspects of Tim Curry's character, the tortured soul of poor Batty, and the love story that developed between Zak and Crysta.
We also dig deeper into the beef between Disney and Robin Williams and how this film was possibly where it all started from.
Come along for this environmental ride with us as we are not holding back our thoughts on this movie.

1992 Recap
It’s that time again where we gotta wrap up the year and move on to the next.
While there is still so much we could cover for 1992 our goal is to focus a lot of this year on 1993 content being it is the 30th year anniversary for those shows, movies, and songs.
1992 was such a blast for us with all of our special guests and podcast collabs! We had so much fun speaking with everyone and look forward to doing many more of those in the future.
We were extra goofy doing this episode so hope you enjoy our off topic rambles per usual.
