Retrophilia: The '90s in Music, Film & CultureWrestling in the ‘90s: Conversation with Bob CalhounPro-wrestling really had a chokehold on our imaginations in the ‘90s. Whether our brains were being bodyslammed by WWF (WWE) or beat down by WCW, we loved every choreographed minute of the glammy, absurd high drama. Perhaps the most ‘90s of all wrestling shows of that time was the punk rock DIY version, Incredibly Strange Wrestling, which got its start in San Francisco in 1995 and then toured the world. Imagine an even more unhinged take on pro-wrestling mixed with the spirit (and sometimes masks) of Luche Libre and in-your-face Jackass-style antics. Add a few punk bands and a lot of t...2024-10-241h 21
Retrophilia: The '90s in Music, Film & Culture'90s NoirAudra and Raymond are back from an unintentional sabbatical to discuss Neo Noir films from the 1990s. Not to be confused with “Erotic Thrillers,” Neo Noirs echo the first wave of Film Noir in both content and style. Certain American crime thrillers of the ‘40s and ‘50s were dubbed Film Noir by French critics for their similarities: dark subject matter (usually crime mixed with fateful romance), anti-heroes with confused morals, and stylistic use of shadows and low-key lighting. These were often B-movies and almost certainly featured a Femme Fatale to lure the hero down a dark moral alley. Her appeal a...2024-10-1054 min
