It's our TOTALLY '90S season finale here at CABBAGES and we needed to go out with a bang—blockbuster-style.

Here at CABBAGES, we don't like to repeat ourselves. Yet this TOTALLY '90S season demands a repeat performance from one of that decade's biggest stars: Bruce Willis. So with Bronx rapper Bloo Azul as our special guest (and his latest albums Déjà Bloo and Sacré Bloo in heavy rotation here), we get into the Hollywood remake mess that is The Jackal (1997, dir. Michael Caton-Jones, co-starring Richard Gere and Sidney Poitier).

We simply couldn't have done a TOTALLY '90S season of CABBAGES without talking about one of the decade's biggest movie stars.

CABBAGES' TOTALLY '90S season has already tackled its share of cinematic tropes, but the decade's tough-teacher-in-a-public-school film subgenre needed to be addressed. With seasoned indie rapper Stik Figa as our esteemed guest, his latest album A Small Fortune getting plenty of play on our speakers, we zig instead of zag with a rather extreme take on the format: One Eight Seven (1997, dir. Kevin Reynolds, starring Samuel L. Jackson).
