1999: The PodcastTHE HAUNTING: First Anniversary Episode - with Dahlia Balcazar (1999 FOREVER)It's our first anniversary, and so we invited fellow 1999-podcaster Dahlia Balcazar to talk about her podcast, 1999 FOREVER, and her hand-picked 1999 movie: The Haunting!Dahlia tells us why she decided to make an audio essay about the year of all years, and we touch on what was going on in other areas of culture outside of the movie theater, like Y2K and The Sopranos.Dahlia's requested movie was Jan Debont's follow-up to Speed and Twister, the 2nd major...um...adaptation of Shirley Jackson's novel The Haunting of Hill House.

1999 FOREVERMillennial“Remember: Turn your computer off before midnight on 12/31/99” read a Best Buy sticker that was given to every computer customer for months leading up to the new year. An entire catalog of Y2K prep manuals appeared. Suddenly it did seem possible that ATMs would freeze, elevators might plummet, planes might crash, and nuclear missiles would erroneously fire. So many things were controlled by computers. On “The Simpsons,” Homer messed up and personally caused Y2K chaos and the end of the world. President Clinton called Y2K “the first challenge of the 21st century successfully met.” What’s unclea...2022-12-3028 min1999 FOREVERReality Goes Viral1999 was a year of viral memes, even though we didn’t know what those were yet. “I see dead people.” “One time at band camp.” The Budweiser Wassup commercial. In the late ‘90s, the Texas-based radio show host Alex Jones looked around and saw “The X-Files,” “The Blair Witch Project,” “Eyes Wide Shut,” “The Matrix,” and the barrage of ‘90s pop culture about government cover-ups, and started a radio show about conspiracy theories. He called it InfoWars. By 1999, it was being carried on 50 small stations and Jones took his show online, to an even bigger audience. 1999 FOREVER’S theme s...2022-12-2324 min1999 FOREVERParty Like It's 1999There’s a deep nihilism to “partying like it’s 1999.” Is the world ending? Maybe, so let’s party until it does. Imagine 400,000 people crowded onto the grounds of an airforce base. It’s summer and the high peaks above 100 degrees. It’s a hot wasteland of bodies and debris as far as the eye can see. Everyone is drunk, overheated, and sunburned. Scores of people are sent to the hospital. And then the fires start. This is Woodstock ‘99, otherwise known as the Day the Nineties died. 1999 FOREVER’S theme song is “In the Freezer” b...2022-12-1629 min1999 FOREVERBang BangIn 1999, the stories of three horrific acts of violence haunted the country: the murder of Amadou Diallo in New York City, the murder of Brandon Teena in Nebraska, and the Columbine school shooting in Colorado. These murders were all perpetrated by groups of white men and presaged the violence that would become a part of daily life for Americans: epidemics of police violence, violence against LGBTQ people, and mass shootings. It’s easy to forget it wasn’t always like this. 1999 FOREVER’S theme song is “In the Freezer” by Sophie Strauss To support...2022-12-0917 min1999 FOREVERLet Me See That ThongThongs are a uniquely American obsession, born out of our paradoxical legacy of both prudishness and thirstiness. The thong is a paradox in itself–an item of clothing introduced to a country by women taking their clothes off. This episode’s themes have been percolating for a long time, simmering, slowly trickling into our consciousness until we were ready for the most important song of 1999: "The Thong Song." 1999 FOREVER’S theme song is “In the Freezer” by Sophie Strauss To support 1999 FOREVER, you can subscribe, leave a rating and a review, and tell all...2022-12-0231 min1999 FOREVERWork SucksWe’re living in a period some have called The Great Resignation. Or are we quiet quitting now? After America’s employees were jerked around for nearly a year–are still being jerked around–because of Covid-19, It feels like there’s finally vociferous acceptance of the fact that simply, work sucks. While this hostility toward work feels radical, we’ve been here before. We hated work in 1999, too. Several movies of 1999 follow almost the same character with the same problem: A mid-level, white-collar, white man is bored and dissatisfied with his corporate life; only a radical jolt to his s...2022-11-2526 min1999 FOREVERBritney, InterruptedBritney Spears has released nine albums, won a Grammy, set 15 Guinness World Records, won seven Billboard Music Awards, and held a Las Vegas residency. She’s the best-selling teenage musician of all time and the youngest to get a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. And beginning when she was 26, she was under a conservatorship for more than a decade that gave her father complete control over her life, assets, and decisions. For all intents and purposes, legally, he became Britney Spears. Appetite for stories about mad girls was high in 1999. But then, it alw...2022-11-1830 min1999 FOREVERTony Soprano SeasonToday The Sopranos is widely regarded as one of the best television shows of all time. In the late ‘90s and early 2000s we lived in an ocean of exceptional television–dramas that dared to be unconventional, with troubled, complicated characters, and higher-than-ever writing and production quality. “It’s not TV, it’s HBO,” the channel bragged. This was the beginning of prestige tv. But The Sopranos is only about organized crime on the surface. The pilot begins with Tony starting therapy because he’s having panic attacks. Even though Tony’s not completely sure therapy works, he keeps coming...2022-11-1123 min1999 FOREVERBedroom DaydreamThere’s something I need to talk about. I can’t stop thinking about 1999. By thinking I mean obsessing, like making charts and timelines with Sharpie on cardboard in my free time. An incredible number of completely world-altering events happened in 1999, and I’m not exaggerating. 1999 FOREVER will be a journey in time. Join me every week as we try to understand 1999 and its echoes in the world we live in today. Because nothing has been the same since. 1999 FOREVER’S theme song is “In the Freezer” by Sophie Strauss To support 1999 FOREVER, you can subscr...2022-11-1113 min1999 FOREVER1999 FOREVER trailerHey, have you ever thought about 1999? No, like, have you ever really thought about it? I have. A year ago I started making a list of every major thing that happened in 1999. And when I got going, I couldn’t stop. 1999 was unreal. Listen to this: In terms of movies, 1999 was peak culture. Things were off the rails with preparations for the Y2K crisis. On the radio and on television, the tone was being set not just for the next year but for the next several decades. 1999 left an...2022-10-1802 min
