Summer of 98 Movies Top 10

[@porkchops1701]

I really appreciate that Eric always has the absolute worst takes about everything, but is so passionate about it every time 😂

[@sethy3705]

hes awful

[@svenvaltik5657]

He used to strike me as a kinda smart guy, then he moved from San Diego to Austin, Texas.........

[@fighthive4808]

@@svenvaltik5657 having moved to austin, it definitely dropped my iq a considerable amount. it’s something in the water. probably zebra mussels.

[@rawrac4life]

Gooch Pooch can never be wrong

[@cornflopper]

They’re movie he loved watching after stealing his stepdad’s dirt bike.

[@ryanrabideau7940]

Thank you to Andrew and Nick for fighting to have Small Soldiers on the list. As someone who grew up with that movie and will rewatch once it every few week even today, it was a big part of my childhood and I’m glad it made it.

[@EdWood1EW]

I didn't gets Erics hate for it. I remember loving Small Soldiers and never saw Can't Hardly Wait

[@LumpyWumpus]

❤️

[@jklein8383]

I wouldn't have Small Soldiers on my list either but I was 15 in 98 and that movie wasn't anything I was interested in seeing at the time.

[@tylerelkins4376]

The Mulan miss is heartbreaking

[@bjbackmon7431]

RIGHT!!! like I get it not everyone’s a Disney fan but Mulan was so good she was able to make it into the Disney Princess line up without being a princess. She changed the entire rule and her movie is prob the only movie in that era that isn’t controversial.

[@mooserps]

I had Mullan on VHS. I watched it until it didn't play anymore haha. Just wasn't really comparable to the other movies on this list I guess.

[@Gibbon.whitehair]

A real crime that neither Mulan or Ever After got picked.

[@Astonkid08]

Absolute crime

[@sighadventure8177]

Being born in the spring of 99 I'm excited to finally get to experience the summer of 98.

[@johnnybad1986]

Your folks really enjoyed the summer of 98 🤣

[@fendurrr]

I am so happy that Small Soldiers made the list. I was 10 years old and loved seeing that movie in the theaters and getting the toys after!

[@butswami]

Thank you to andrew and nick for fighting for small soldiers!! My uncle actually worked on that movie and it was my childhood. My uncle created the designs for Nick Nitro, Kip Killigan, Brick Bazooka and Link Static. He actually based link static off of his own face!

[@Theblinded21]

Maybe the guys were the wrong generation for it, but Mulan was an insta-pick for me - “When will my reflection show who I am inside” and “LET’S GET DOWN TO BUSINESS… TO DEFEAT… THE HUNS” are ICONIC

[@ryanrabideau7940]

100% Agree

[@CommodoreCatherine]

Everyone knows that song. If I go to a bar or I'm on a field trip on a school bus, there are 3 songs that everyone is singing: 1. Bohemian Rhapsody 2. Mulan Let's get Down to Business 3. Sweet Caroline

[@SoarMallard]

​@@CommodoreCatherinewhat bars are you going to? 🥴

[@joshuashoemaker8475]

Not only that but they were also sung by Christina Aguilera and Donny Osmond (Jackie Chan in the Chinese version)

[@bobsjobisfob]

its funny because i havent seen any of these movies but ive seen mulan

[@scrossley8583]

Genuinely can't believe Mulan isn't on there, and also The Parent Trap. I've never heard of most of their list, but Parent Trap and Mulan are still relevant today

[@mountain_dad705]

I was in the middle of another video. I was roped in and it was good. There was no hesitation switching over. This show and everything about it is my favorite media i consume. I remember when this show was announced and ive loved every second of content.

[@wl7291]

I had the VHS of Mouse Hunt when I was a kid, I LOVE that movie.

[@cameroncardinal]

I feel like they didn't pick Mulan because it doesn't register as a "movie" movie compared to the others they picked. Which is a shame, and pretty unfair to animated movies as a whole.

[@kryptico2240]

I think they just weren’t interested in Disney back then. It was not as solidified in the culture as it is now. The fact that they didn’t even hint at it makes me think none of them even saw it. It was just an animated kids movie to Geoff, and I imagine the rest of them were just dudebro boys that didn’t want to watch a “girl show” or something, ya know? Different times and all that.

[@jcoptimus]

Gavin, I have one word for you regarding Armageddon... Stormare.

[@rabbithabits5400]

Thank you for reminding me how much I love small soldiers

[@OppositeofHATE7]

I was 5 going on 6 in 98 so Mulan, Madeline and Parent Trap are my picks😆

[@marcusm8453]

Lockstock & 2 smoking barrels was the first DVD I brought & played through my surround , everyone used to come around to watch it most of watched it over 200 times

[@jackster1880]

Snake Eyes ending up 11 makes sense by definition alone.

[@JessiePotter90]

My three picks out of the list would be: Mulan, The Parent Trap, and Ever After: A Cinderella Story. Top tier movies imo

[@spectre1x]

Gonna make a prediction that Nick somehow has an epic list and Geoff's is just going to be different because of age.

[@efrulz]

I also expected a draft somehow, but I'm glad they did it the way they did

[@natebutontheinternet]

52:30 lol

[@ehwestrich]

[@riccibranham5447]

I’m stoked for more summer of 98

[@BlackRainOfTheDead]

Biggest miss to me is no mulan

[@jrcag9796]

Just wanted to add my vote for the best opening scene of a movie. Dom Hemingway has an opening monologue that is perfect.

[@Zachafinackus]

I'm so glad Small Soldiers made the pick lol.

[@gunkatas01]

48:23 that's not Small Soldiers, that's the main Bad Alien from Galaxy Quest

[@the_elite_truth]

They LITERALLY said the thing from Toy Soldiers looked like the alien and thats why they showed it

[@mackenziesizemore5392]

I’m like within a year, the same age as Andrew and I also had parents who loved X Files but it creeped me out so bad I couldn’t be in the the room while the intro played.

[@nathanillsley8334]

a big thank for doing this, for reminding me of the parent trap a classic from my childhood

[@lpphoenix131]

Geoff, this is the second time you've called her Strugg and not Strode 😂. In an old AH Gta V Let's play, during an AHWU that had to be re-recorded you said Strugg and Michael corrected you off camera and and when AHWU was recorded again you said Strode! 😂

[@bertperez9622]

I, like Andrew, was too young and too afraid to at the time the X-files movie came out but still my parents took me to see the movie. I was so scared to watch the film the only solution I came up with was to sleep through the film… And I don’t remember a single scene. Mission accomplished

[@diebydeath]

57:56 The Big Lebowski came out in March of '98. So close!!

[@blahblah9036]

10:55 I think this is the first time Gavin gets no response.

[@jackberryman1824]

I’m with Eric on saving private Ryan because I was born June 22nd of 98 and it was the very first movie I saw in theaters, I was a new born and my parents took me with them to see it in the theater 😂 plus it was my first rated R movie 🤣 even tho obviously I wasn’t able to remember or even comprehend it lmao but for sure number one pick

[@Antifrost]

I'm realizing that I don't know jack about the summer of 98. Granted, I was only 6, but I haven't seen a single one of these movies on this list.

[@JFree41]

No something about Mary is crazy to me. I know it may not hold up now, but back in 98 that movie was on fire. It should be on the list instead of can’t hardly wait. I’d put it around 7th.

[@eziowayne]

The ending was extremely unexpected

[@MHz619]

52:32 Yes

[@brianb-t4v]

>hearing the process described >”interesting, that could take a while.” >check length of video >”ohhoho, it took a while.”

[@jrmcco02]

thank you for the tpg

[@noahstuvel94]

I play the game flickle. It is a guessing game for movies where they show 5 seconds of a movies and you have 6 guesses it. I was listening to this podcast and the movie was snake eyes couldn't believe it

[@treycool9565]

Woah, that alien pic isn’t a gorgonite. That’s from Galaxy Quest

[@the_elite_truth]

They LITERALLY said the thing looks like the alien from Galaxy Quest

[@maxmeek8923]

Who is TPG at the end?

[@Blue_Camera_Cat]

3:54 Nick cackle

[@motionblurofhappy7804]

18:46 That’s actually Harland Williams. He has a podcast called The Harland Highway. Super funny. Edit: Geoff says that like two minutes later smh

[@jkleax7833]

Gavin should have gotten an alternate pick when lock stock was eliminated!!

[@helmutNO]

What's the director/actors in Basketball (?) that Gavin mentions? Sounds fun, but I just can't find it.

[@lpharmer3496]

“Baseketball”

[@helmutNO]

@@lpharmer3496 Ok, so I heard right. Do you have the director or anything else? Can't find it on IMDB or Letterboxd 🤔

[@dupolup]

I think that hwne you have a list of 10 movies it's easier if everyone gives their order and like a movie in 1 place on someone's list gets 10 points, a movie in second place gets 9 points and so on and then you add the points from everyone and you have your order. Like, the highest number of points a movie could get with 5 people would be 50 if everyone put it as number 1. That's probably not as entertaining but it makes it a lot easier to decide.

[@halfwit-studios]

the excitement i felt when they put truman show at number one.

[@keithduffy901]

I'd listen to one of these for every year

[@downeyjoshua31]

You can never have enough TPG

[@covertly_bni929]

It's a shame lock stock couldn't be on the list. Lock Stock is a all time classic.

[@JZ3Racing18]

Gavin took The Truman Show and BASEketball, then Nick took Saving Private Ryan from me. Happy to know they have good taste lol

[@UberBower]

I watched Return to Paradise in an PRSE lesson in secondary school, it has stuck with me ever since, harrowing film.

[@Arbitor2552]

I loved this, I could listen to them fight about these movies for hours lmao

[@unmakeyourself]

For the best intros comment at 34:00 I gotta say It Follows deserves one of those spots

[@LargeMic]

This was amazing! Armageddon getting top 3 is wild and Blade not top 5 smh. I would have had everything the same but move Armageddon to 6 and moved everything else up one

[@jamesdavis1651]

I can't be the only one who sees the selects as a middle finger

[@jakecarter2721]

I am, in fact, pumped for Snake Eyes.

[@dashansel3896]

It bummed me out that Parent Trap was never even considered

[@kryptico2240]

Truman show was the best movie to come out that entire year.

[@justinkeller713]

I'm starting to believe it's the Summer of 98 cause all I wanna do is stop existing lol

[@MrOasis316]

My favourite was lock stock so I’m bummed they took it of.

[@ryanbrooks2434]

So glad The Truman Show was number 1. Easily one of my favorite movies ever.

[@MrDrProffPatrick]

Summer of 98 babyyyyyyy

[@Beckyg1016]

Honestly, I'm with Eric on Snake Eyes - I would have put that in over H2O or Small Soilders. I think my bottom 3 would have been Can't Hardly Wait, Snake Eyes, H2O, otherwise I think they came pretty close to nailing it

[@DTMRM8]

1 and 2 are top contenders for all time as well.

[@alienfac32]

owhell yeah. just as i have to go as always. cant wait to watch it when back.

[@Jonesy..]

No Mulan is outrageous

[@Monkiebuddy]

The Lindsay Lohan parent trap is a cinema masterpiece, you can’t change my mind

[@sterlingraymond3643]

Missing Mulan was huge. Also completely shocked there was not a single mention of Godzilla 1998. Terrible movie but 100% a movie of its time. If small soldiers can make that list, Godzilla can make it (for better or worse)

[@the_elite_truth]

Godzilla didnt come out in the summer, it came out in May

[@sterlingraymond3643]

@@the_elite_truth true but it came out over Memorial Day Weekend, a weekend that typically kicks off” the Summer movie season

[@mikeymiker0100]

As a brit its hilarious to me they didnt know Vinnie Jones was a footballer

[@kamjensen33]

What about Waterboy?

[@motionblurofhappy7804]

My list is Saving Private Ryan, Armageddon, and Truman Show.

[@JenniferB_1200]

Rarely does f**kface content remind me that everyone is a guy. This did. Both Mulan and The Parent Trap were missing from the jump 😞.

[@Exasperaties]

As a '96 baby. Mulan was an insta pick for me.

[@krypticpanda6670]

This rocks

[@242proPRODUCTUONS]

Weird link to Vinny Jones because the F**KFACE universe semms to be so tiny, he was in a series called "The Cape" with someone I feel invaluable to Rooster Teeth, Keith David or as most people know him; The Arbiter. Am I saying Geoff could get Vinny Jones on the podcast through this link? ... no. Could Andrew?... I hope

[@AtenSol12]

being born in 95, small soldiers hadd to be on the list 😂

[@Batmanfan88il]

Deep Impact, Godzilla, Mulan, Lethal Weapon 4, There's Something About Mary , all missing....

[@the_elite_truth]

Deep Impact and Godzilla werent not in the summer

[@BlackAtreyu-iu9hq]

Most consider May to be the start of the summer movies season, so they miss a few good ones.

[@lnobrienmovies]

THE MASK OF ZORRO

[@merikschneider4678]

This rules

[@BrikBeans]

I would take small soilders over every single one of these movies...born in 1995

[@Saiph_and_Sound]

No Disney's Brink! Or Dennis the Menace Strikes Again?

[@axltrain838]

13:50 gavin

[@Kaimusic0]

It's TIME

[@nyrro115]

1996 was a great year for movies.

[@DarthSion89]

Eric needs to go watch vinnie play football and he will understand why he's always playing the mean tough guy

[@implodingnerd]

I'm with Andrew on The X-Files. That theme music terrified and haunted me as a kid so I've never watched anything in regards to the show or movie.

[@riccibranham5447]

Eric is a true scholar- Can’t Hardly Wait is so good!

[@breadman5116]

Only two good movies on the entire list honestly, pretty bad summer for movies.

[@gamefreak974]

This is a good take The first two on the list right?

[@breadman5116]

@@gamefreak974 Yeah, and I would agree with the order of those two as well.

[@emberreviews1364]

Mulan got robbed

[@dcfyorks]

This whole exercise has just made me realise 1998 was an uncharacteristically bad summer of movies for the 90s… to continue that theme, you missed the Mask of Zorro I think? Not good but surely a more Summer of 98-esque movie than some that did make the list

[@Smokejumper92]

I'm so annoyed that H2O is written with a 0 instead of an O

[@dc0dr]

Had the same picks as Gav

[@launchpad79]

I feel like your top 3 all belong in the top 3. Pick 4-5-6 all belong in 4-5-6. 2013 doesn't hold a flame to 1998.

[@dillonschreiber2389]

I mean maybe it’s cause I was born in 2003 but like Mulan is clearly better than any of these movies lol

[@Rosser57]

Bruh, everyone talking about the Mulan miss, but AIR BUD?

[@Keefin15]

Saying 98 is the last good year when The Mummy comes out the next year is such a bad take.

[@drowsysauce9981]

The X-Files movie was awesome, it’s not a bad movie just because you had this wrong image in your then boozed up brain Geoff.

[@bryanchiaramonte4061]

Surprised Mulan got cut but Halloween H2O is the biggest piece of garbage of a movie, like really? Lol
