Episode 91 - True Romance
What’s up Bombers? Welcome to the “coolest” podcast on the internet. This week, the gang has a real treat for you! Not only do we have a good friend and host of The VHS Files Podcast, Josh, joining this week’s show but we FINALLY get to talk about the one, the only, Quentin Tarantino. As none of QT’s directed films have bombed (ok, Death Proof was a weird experiment and doesn’t count), the guys turn to films written by Tarantino and more specifically - True Romance. This 1993, romantic/crime film, has all the flashes of QT but is directed by the legendary Tony Scott and features some of the greatest characters seen on screen.
