"You know, there's a million fine looking women in the world, dude. But they don't all bring you lasagna at work. Most of 'em just cheat on you."
In the latest episode of AT THE MOVIES IN THE 90s, your host A. J. Black and guest Sam Stokes travel back to 1997 for Luc Besson's eccentric science-fiction spectacular, The Fifth Element.
A heady mix of Euro camp, Möebius colour and Hollywood pretensions, Besson's film remains a striking piece of work. But has it dated? Let's find out.

Clerks with Ian Buckley
"You know, there's a million fine looking women in the world, dude. But they don't all bring you lasagna at work. Most of 'em just cheat on you."
In the latest episode of AT THE MOVIES IN THE 90s, your host Mark McManus and guest Ian Buckley travel back to 1994 for Kevin Smith's seminal low budget comedy, Clerks.
A film that put Smith on the map, it inspired a legion of similar offerings for years to come, but what does it say about America and cinema at the time? And is Silent Bob one of the best characters of the decade? Let's find out.

Bring Me the Head of Mavis Davis
In the latest episode of AT THE MOVIES IN THE 90s, your hosts A. J. Black and Mark McManus travel back to 1998 for the obscure British comedy thriller, Bring Me the Head of Mavis Davis.
With two Britcom giants in Rik Mayall and Jane Horrocks, plus a fun darkly comic concept of murder and gangsters, what could possibly go wrong? Or rather, why did very little go right?

The 90s. The end of the Cold War. The Spice Girls. New Labour. Euro 96. The PlayStation. The World Wide Web.
We all have our memories. Many of them will be of movies in an era where the blockbuster truly came home, where arthouse prospered, where the Brit film soared & where, in some ways, popular culture truly began.
I’m A. J. Black. Author, writer & podcaster, and the 90s was my decade. It was probably yours too. So join me, and my co-host Mark McManus, as I head down memory lane AT THE MOVIES IN THE 90s...
