1999: The Podcast #088 – Analyze This – with Chase Mitchell
Analyze This was the 18th-highest grossing movie of 1999, opening on at #1 March 5th – the same day as Cruel Intentions, which opened number 2 – and taking in $177 million worldwide on an $80 million budget.
Analyze This gave us the unlikely comedy duo of Billy Crystal and (a then new to comedy) Robert DeNiro, alongside Lisa Kudrow, Chazz Palminteri, and Joe Viterelli
Directed by the late great Harold Ramis and written by Ramis, Peter Tolan, and, somewhat shockingly, Kenneth Lonergan, Analyze This made a lot of its then very novel premise of a gangster getting therapy…but also happened to be released a few months after the premiere of the The Sopranos.
This week, we’re rejoined by our friend, comedy writer Chase Mitchell.
