Quick! Name six iconic movies that hit theaters in the year 1999.

And the craziest thing is? That's not even the half of it!

In honor of that crazy year in movies, Nerdette Recaps with Peter Sagal is back again, featuring recaps and analysis of the six films listed above (as well as updates on whatever Peter was doing 21 years ago).

And don’t forget, we want to hear from you! Join the party and send us a voice recording about any of the movies we’re featuring. Just record yourself on your smartphone and send the audio file to [email protected]. We record early on Mondays, so send them in on Fridays if you can!
