In 1999, the world was preparing for the impending Y2K apocalypse.  My memory was that we treated Y2K both with annoyance (my computer's not going to work) and with the slightest undercurrent of anxiety (no one's computer is going to work!!).  When you look back at the movies from that same year, that sense of doom and a lack of faith in the world as we knew it rose to the surface in movies like The Matrix, Fight Club, and Being John Malkovich.  Join Pete and his guest Brian Raftery, the author of Best. Movie. Year. Ever.  How 1999 Blew Up The Big Screen, as they talk all about the best and worst movies of the year, how they reflected society, and how pivotal 1999's films were for the millennium to come (or maybe not to come).

Oh yeah, and Pete and Adam pick their Best. Movie. Years. Ever.
