    Absolutely love that they chose 1999 to build their podcast around. Such a great year in cinema. The hosts do a great job giving context to all of the things happening during the time of the release of each film while also providing info on how it was received by the public.

    I love how you two have made me want to revisit movies released in 1999 all over again. Plus, you’ve revived my interest in movies in general. Keep up the great work. Love the guests you have had, too.

    Podcast Like It’s 1999 has been doing an incredible job covering this since 2017. Kind of weird. Maybe Google a subject before making a podcast? Just saying.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

OCTOBER SKY - with Amanda Jane Stern
Q: So, Julia, what's October Sky about?
October Sky deals with the life of Homer Hickam, the son of a coal mine superintendent, inspired by the launch of Sputnik to pursue a dream of building rockets.
ENTRAPMENT - with Jason Christian
Q: Do you have a favorite movie of all time?
Jason chose 'Pather Panchali' by Satyajit Ray as his favorite movie of all time, reflecting his interest in Bengali cinema.
MUPPETS FROM SPACE - with Ethan Warren
Q: What is your favorite movie of all time? You cannot escape this question, so you have to think of just one.
My usual answer is Punch Drunk Love. Paul Thomas Anderson is my guy, and that's my movie of his. That movie, I think, is especially miraculous. There's nothing like it.
MUPPETS FROM SPACE - with Ethan Warren
Q: Ethan, when I proposed this episode to you, you told me that you think that this movie stinks. And I'm certainly not disagreeing with you, but as a starting point, could you elaborate?
I think this movie is really lacking in sort of everything that makes a good Muppet movie work. I didn't see this movie till I was a grown-up. Maybe I would have enjoyed it if I encountered it as a kid, but I can't see how, because it's a movie that's just so, it takes place in bunkers.
GALAXY QUEST - with Annie Berke
Q: What is your favorite movie of all time?
Annie shares that her favorite movie is "The Apartment" by Billy Wilder, while also holding "When Harry Met Sally" close due to its nostalgic connection and personal significance.
