1
Welcome to Year in Review, the show where we break down a year to bring you some of the most notable moments in TV
2
and film month by month.
3
Let's take things back to the beginning of a decade, and not just any decade, we're talking about the 90s.
4
That's right, 1990, when the 80s were fresh in the rear view and 10 more years of highs and lows awaited.
5
Cheers was dominating the airwaves in its ninth season, while a couple of guys named Brandon and Dylan were about to teach a new generation all about sideburns.
6
Movie stars like Bruce Willis and Arnold Schwarzenegger continued to shine, while future stars like Julia Roberts were coming in hot.
7
Plus a new Christmas classic was about to be born.
8
So get ready to do some voguing, thanks to a popular Madonna song that year, cause this is gonna be fun.
9
1990, here we come!
10
helping kick the 90s off at a leisurely pace was the film Driving Miss Daisy.
11
Jessica Tandy stars as an elderly woman living in Atlanta who, against her wishes, takes on a chauffeur played by Morgan Freeman to help her get around town.
12
And while things are rocky at first, they eventually form a close friendship.
13
I ever tell you about the first time I leave the state of Georgia?
14
When was that?
15
A few minutes back.
16
Go on.
17
Yes.
18
But it was Tandy who was really driving the hype train, as her Oscar win for Best Actress was one of four the film earned,
19
not to mention Best Picture, out of nine nominations.
20
Critics say, while it's fueled in part by outdated stereotypes, Driving Miss Daisy takes audiences on a heartwarming journey with a pair of outstanding actors.
21
I'm sure you understand I'm not thrilled at the idea of your turning 40 years of my work into your garage sale.
22
At the price I'm paying for this stock, Mr. Morse, you are going to be a very rich man.
23
I'm rich enough.
24
I just want to head my shipyard.
25
Slippery little suckers.
26
And walking down the street and into theaters in March of 1990 was the hit rom-com Pretty Woman.
27
Julia Roberts stars in this film as Vivian Ward, a free-spirited Hollywood sex worker who is hired for a week by a businessman named Edward, played by Richard Gere.
28
Initially, the film was pitched as a dark drama about prostitution in Los Angeles in the 1980s, including themes like Vivian being a drug addict.
29
Thankfully, it was Jeffrey Katzenberg, president of Walt Disney Studios at the time, who insisted that the film instead be a modern-day love story.
30
Hmm?
31
Something's missing.
32
Well, nothing else is gonna fit into this draft, I'll tell you that.
33
Maybe something in this box.
34
I don't want you to get too excited.
35
It's only on loan.
36
Oh!
37
Pretty Woman pulled in over $460 million worldwide to become the third highest-grossing film of 1990,
38
And for her efforts, Roberts received a Golden Globe Award for her performance, and was also nominated for a Best Actress Oscar, but lost to Kathy Bates for Misery.
39
More importantly, however, is that she solidified her seat at the big star table.
40
Critics say, Pretty Woman may be a yuppie fantasy, but the film's slick comedy, soundtrack, and casting can overcome misgivings.
41
You fight well in the old style, but you've caused me enough trouble.
42
Now you face the Shredder.
43
The Shredder?
44
Uh, maybe all that hardware's for making coleslaw.
45
And from the sewers to the theaters in March came Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, directed by Steve Barron, who is probably best known for directing Michael Jackson's Billie Jean music video.
46
Hee hee!
47
Damn, I'm good.
48
This film follows four turtles who were mutated by radioactive ooze and went on to become crime-fighting ninjas.
49
Hey, it happens.
50
With the one and only Corey Feldman providing the voice of Donatello.
51
He's the brains of the operation.
52
This movie was an adaptation of the early TMNT comics
53
and borrowed a few more elements from the popular animated series at the time.
54
And if you haven't had enough fun facts for this one, just know that the turtle costumes were developed by Jim Henson's Creature Shop, one of the last projects before Henson's death.
55
The more you know.
56
Yes friends, the new Turbo Ginsu!
57
Woohoo!
58
It dices, it slices, and yet makes french fries in three different...
59
Whoops!
60
Mmm, kids.
61
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was a box office success, and set the stage for two early 90s sequels before a total reboot in 2014.
62
Cowabunga!
63
Critics say Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is exactly as advertised.
64
One-liners, brawls, and general silliness.
65
Good for the young at heart, irritating for everyone else.
66
Fire to the yard!
67
And arriving a few decades early, or was it late,
68
in May of 1990 was Back to the Future Part 3 the final installment of the Back to the Future trilogy,
69
with director Robert Zemeckis and the main cast once again returning.
70
This time, Marty McFly finds out about the death of his buddy Doc Brown in 1985, and must travel back in time to save him,
71
leading to them trying to figure out how to escape the dangers of the Old West and get themselves, wait for it, Back to the Future.
72
With a $40 million budget, filming began shortly after Back to the Future Part 2 wrapped, and took place partially in Arizona,
73
where the production team built the 1885 Hill Valley set from scratch, rather than using existing sets.
74
Part 3 opened just six months after the previous installment
75
and grossed $246 million worldwide to become the sixth highest grossing film of the year.
76
Critics say Back to the Future Part 3 draws the trilogy to a satisfying close with a simpler, sweeter round of time travel antics.
77
He's got a gun!
78
Cut him off, that way!
79
Over there!
80
Hold it!
81
Don't move!
82
Released on June 1st was the Arnold Schwarzenegger action flick, Total Recall, directed by Paul Verhoeven, and based on the 1966 short by Philip K.
83
Dick. In it, Arnold Schwarzenegger stars as a futuristic man whose life gets dangerously
84
confusing after he has virtual vacation memories of visiting Mars planted in his head.
85
The movie was shot almost entirely in sequence and used a lot of practical special effects,
86
amounting to a reported budget of between 50 and 80 million dollars, which was huge for the time.
87
Total Recall ultimately had solid box office success, and despite mixed reviews upon its release,
88
the The now certified fresh film is viewed by many as one of Schwarzenegger's best projects.
89
And in the years since, the movie has gone full franchise with comic books, video games, a TV adaptation, and a film remake.
90
Critics say, under Paul Verhoeven's frenetic direction, Total Recall is a fast-paced rush of violence, gore, and humor that never slacks.
91
area matter the queen for sky cap we work here see some ID
92
and bringing snow-covered action to 4th of July weekend in 1990
93
was die hard to The second installment in the Die Hard film series, if you couldn't tell by the number two part of it.
94
This one takes place a year after Bruce Willis' John McClane saved Nakatomi Plaza in Los Angeles,
95
this time finding himself battling terror threats at a Washington DC airport.
96
Geez, the luck with this guy.
97
John McClane.
98
Yeah, yeah, I know who you are.
99
You're the asshole that just broke seven FAA
100
and five District of Columbia regulations running around my airport with a gun shooting at people.
101
What do you call that sh?
102
Self-defense.
103
While the first Die Hard was based on a 1979 Roderick Thorpe novel, this installment was adapted from Walter Wager's 1987 novel called 58 Minutes,
104
but with a few plot points and names changed to match the franchise.
105
The result was a bigger box office return that nearly doubled the first one, and an overall strong reception from fans and critics.
106
So why not do it again?
107
And again, and again, you get the point.
108
Critics say it lacks the fresh thrills of its predecessor, but Die Hard 2 still works as an over-the-top,
109
and reasonably-taught, big-budget sequel with plenty of set pieces to paper over the plot deficiencies.
110
I need you to tell Molly what I'm saying, but you have to tell her word for word, alright?
111
Word for word.
112
Yes.
113
He wants me to tell you what he's saying word for word.
114
Molly, you're in danger.
115
Now you can't just blurt it out like that and quit moving around, will you, cause you start to make me dizzy.
116
I'll just tell her in my own way.
117
And also making itself seen in July was the film Ghost,
118
marking the first time that director Jerry Zucker worked solo after co-directing comedies like Airplane and Top Secret.
119
The movie stars Patrick Swayze as a murdered man who tracks down a psychic, played by Whoopi Goldberg, to help him protect his girlfriend from the person who killed him.
120
Even with its impressive cast, which also included Demi Moore in a starring role, this film somewhat exceeded expectations.
121
It grossed $505 million at the worldwide box office to become the highest grossing film of 1990, and the third highest grossing film ever at the time.
122
Ghost was also nominated for five Academy Awards, including Best Picture, and won two for Best Original Screenplay and Best Supporting Actress for Goldberg.
123
And let's be honest, it gave us a certain Pottery Wheel scene that would be spoofed and parodied for years to come.
124
Critics say, Ghost offers viewers a poignant romance while blending elements of comedy, horror, and mystery, all adding up to one of the most enduringly watchable hits of its era.
125
Are you telling me McDaniel was not a random victim?
126
All right, we got a specialist who says the only way this thing makes sense is
127
that the recipient had a condition that required a match.
128
And McDaniel's kidney fits the bill.
129
Well, he'd have to be tested to make sure, but the problem is McDaniel swears from Natal Sunday that he's never been tested.
130
Grand theft kidney.
131
Terrific.
132
And just when 1990 needed a little Law & Order to help set things straight, in came the new drama series Law & Order in September.
133
Hey, not every intro can be a winner, okay?
134
Cut us some slack.
135
Created by Dick Wolf, who would use this show to become a powerhouse in the industry, Law & Order regularly uses the formula of following a crime,
136
usually murder, during the investigation and then the court prosecution over the course of an hour.
137
Beagle wants to deal, you're the barter.
138
Beagle and Zalta are out on bail.
139
Don't you think it's funny nobody came forward to help you?
140
Big fish eat little fish.
141
I have nothing to do with it.
142
Beagle and Zalta tell a different story.
143
You know the truth, Joe.
144
Was it rueful?
145
Did he kill Mackey on Masucci's orders?
146
You don't know what you're asking me.
147
Was it rueful?
148
The series initially ended in 2010 after 20 seasons and was revived in 2022.
149
The Emmy-winning show spawned a franchise that includes video games, a TV movie, international adaptations and more series including Law & SVU,
150
which is now the longest-running live-action scripted show ever.
151
Critics say, to be sure.
152
Law and Order nonetheless synthesizes an endlessly watchable blend of crime procedural intrigue and legal system dramatics.
153
Get the f* out of your tummy.
154
You motherf*er, I almost had him.
155
I almost had him.
156
And the same month Law & Order came to TV, 1990, organized crime hit theaters in the form of Goodfellas, directed and co-written by Martin Scorsese.
157
Based on the 1985 book Wiseguy by Nicholas Pelleggi, who co-wrote the screenplay with Scorsese, this film chronicles the rise and fall of mob associate Henry Hill,
158
played by Ray Liotta, from 1955 to 1980.
159
For most of the guys, killings got to be accepted.
160
Murder was the only way that everybody stayed in line.
161
You got out of line, you got whacked.
162
Everybody knew the rules.
163
With a cast that also includes Robert De Niro, Joe Pesci, Goodfellas was nominated for six Oscars including Best Picture and Best Director,
164
with Pesci winning for Best Supporting Actor.
165
And as our own United States Library of Congress recognized it with entry into the National film registry, this movie has been regarded as one of the best films ever made,
166
especially in the gangster genre.
167
Critics say, hard-hitting and stylish, Goodfellas is a gangster classic, and arguably the high point of Martin Scorsese's career.
168
intense.
169
You make one false move in your history.
170
I mean if people here saw you eating lunch alone today like that guy over there.
171
You know I had a lot of great friends at my
172
old school walk." This show followed a group of friends living
173
in Beverly Hills California depicting their journey through high school into college and beyond.
174
And while it did touch on some serious topics at times,
175
90210 also had plenty of teen drama and romance Marianne?
176
Liar!
177
How can you do that?
178
How can you go around spreading those rumors after I spilled my guts to you like that?
179
Hey, I had nothing to do with it.
180
I swear.
181
You know, you're just like everyone else.
182
You're like every other creep You used me to get a name for yourself.
183
Marianne, I didn't say I didn't say anything.
184
Well, then who did?
185
The show ran for ten seasons on Fox but ended up being just the first of six series in the 90210 franchise.
186
And while the cast and fashions evolved over time, the iconic sideburns worn by Jason Priestley's character
187
when the show first kicked off are hard to ignore and should never be forgotten.
188
I'm up here you morons!
189
Come and get me!
190
You guys give up or you're thirsty for more?
191
Heads up!
192
And not to be forgotten in November of 1990 was the theatrical release of Home Alone,
193
directed by Chris Columbus a couple of years after making his debut with Adventures in Babysitting.
194
Macaulay Culkin stars in this film about a boy who is accidentally left behind
195
when his family heads to the airport in a hurry, leaving him with a big empty house and two burglars who have been causing chaos in the neighborhood.
196
Home Alone was written by John Hughes, who also wrote another holiday classic in National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation the year before.
197
Ooh...
198
Ooh...
199
Oh...
200
Shut it, Pop!
201
Hey guys...
202
Check this out!
203
Go back!
204
Go back!
205
Go back, okay...
206
Go back, okay...
207
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
208
Yo!
209
Hughes, who conceived the film while preparing for vacation and wondering what would happen if he left his son behind,
210
suggested that they cast Culkin after his experience with the actor on Uncle Buck.
211
The movie grossed nearly $477 million worldwide to become the highest grossing live action comedy until The Hangover Part 2 in 2011.
212
Plus it made Culkin a child star on the way to becoming an absolute must-watch flick every December.
213
Critics say Home Alone's uneven
214
but frequently funny premise stretched unreasonably thin is buoyed by Macaulay Culkin's cute performance and strong supporting stars.
215
and ten pounds that bly cow corn.
216
And bringing a little joy to the fall weather in November of 1990 was the Stephen King adaptation Misery,
217
directed by Rob Reiner and based on King's 1987 novel of the same name.
218
The film stars Kathy Bates as the obsessive fan of an author played by James Caan,
219
who holds him captive in her house and forces him to rewrite the finale of his famous book series.
220
We have the power to give misery eternal life.
221
We must finish the book.
222
But the time is now.
223
Soon others will come.
224
It's almost finished.
225
The little-known Bates ended up with the role after names like Bette Midler and Angelica Houston turned it down.
226
And she made the most of it earning plenty of critical
227
praise to go along with a Best Actress Oscar Still the only Stephen King adaptation with an Academy Award
228
Critics say elevated by standout performances from James Caan
229
and Kathy Bates This taut and frightening film is one of the best Stephen King adaptations to date Look!
230
A grand slam for Martinez to make it a five-run inning and blow this game to pieces!
231
I'll be darned.
232
And closing out 1990 by keeping things on the cutting edge was the film Edward Scissorhands, released on December 14.
233
Johnny Depp stars in the film as a mysterious young man with scissor blades for hands, who comes to live with a kind woman and her family, including a daughter played by Winona Ryder,
234
and ends up disrupting their community with his odd but charming ways.
235
The film was directed by Tim Burton, who conceived it from his childhood upbringing in suburban Burbank, California, with the genesis of Edward coming from a drawing he did as a teenager.
236
And the film got fast-tracked thanks to Burton's critical and financial success with 1989's Batman.
237
Burton brought in big-time pros like composer Danny Elfman for music, and the legendary Stan Winston to create the Scissorhands.
238
And it's the first time Burton collaborated with Johnny Depp, which must have been a good time because they would become friends and go on to make many, many more films together.
239
Critics say, Well, there it is,
240
1990 tightly rolled into one nice fancy package.
241
If we learned one thing today, it's that no matter if you were alive or not in 1990, there's no better time than right now to relive that magical year.
242
And there's no better way to do it than with movies and shows like these, and also sideburns.
243
Thanks for checking out our urine review for 1990, we'll see you next time.

O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
