1999: The Phantom Menace, The Matrix , and the Dreamcast

History of Awesome is an epic 38-part trip
down memory lane - each episode we're covering a new year's most
important, influential, or just-plain-awesome movies, games, TV
shows, comics, and more.


Up next is 1999. We were all distracted by
Y2K thanks to massive movie-going events like The Matrix and the
return of Star Wars with The Phantom Menace. In video game land,
the Sega Dreamcast gave us hope and Planescape: Torment made us
think.


Other discussion topics include Tony Hawk's Pro Skater,
Counter-Strike, Fight Club, The Blair Witch Project, The Daily
Show, Family Guy, and The Sopranos.
