Episode 690: The Top Ten of 1994

The summer series continues, as Dave, Mikey, and #XLessDrEarl finally gets to talk about a 90s year! 

Leave it to new-to-the-show Galaxy Joe from Rule the Galaxy Podcast to bringing in one of the most heralded years in the 90s - the year that brought John Travolta back... that had Jimmy Cameron making non blue people movies... had Tim Robbins crawling through a 500 yard tunnel of poop... left Ben Stiller as the responsible one... made Michael Keaton yelling "stop the presses!"... and Natalie Portman being 12.
