Ah, the nineties.

Movies were something in those days. We’re talking about a decade that began with GoodFellas and ended with Magnolia, with such films as Malcolm X, Before Sunrise, and Clueless arriving somewhere in between. Stories, characters, and writing were king. If you're a fan, a movie buff, or just a child of the 90s, please join us in conversation with author Scott Ryan as we discuss what made them classics and why they could never be produced in today’s film culture.

Scott Ryan is the author of The Last Days of Letterman, Moonlighting: An Oral History, Lost Highway: The Fist of Love and Fire Walk With Me: Your Laura Disappeared. His latest book, The Last Decade of Cinema covers films from the 90s. He also co authored a self publishing book called But Couldn't I do That? and a book about the Massillon Tigers football team winning the 2023 state championship for the first time in 53 years called Massillon Against The World. He is the co president of Fayetteville Mafia Press and Tucker DS Press, the host of Our Time and Tiger Talk on YouTube and he never won Employee of the Month at Video Time because he stole too many VHS tapes and posters of movies he loved. He lives in Sarasota, Florida.
