Don’t bother to change this, but this show was a repeat from 1993. If you check your 1993 shows, you will see a Next Week for this show. But don’t change it since at the end, they put in some new 1994 films they were going to review next week. In the later years, they did that, rather than say they would be looking at new movies the next week. Maybe the technology got better for them to paste that in.
Gene changed his mind on 3 movies this episode. He didn’t like Carnal Knowledge, Fat City, and Chinatown when they were originally released. Now he’s giving these 3 films thumbs up.

Sorry I repeated what I said.
I assume the reason why they’re doing a show on the early 70’s in 1993 is because they were giving positive reviews to so many films that year. They haven’t been that enthusiastic towards films since the early 70’s. I also liked Roger’s comment about the over marketing and saturation of blockbusters towards the end of the episode because Hollywood often forgets that Jaws, Star Wars, and other early summer blockbusters were made from the heart.
Online guides say this first aired 5/22/1993.
