Swingers (1996) | Getting Stabbed Over NHL '94


Listen Later

DescriptionDegens Andy S and Brandon Bombay head to Vegas, baby, Vegas, to talk about the indie film that launched multiple careers, 'Swingers.' Andy starts off the pre-game with a story about the time he was trash talking while playing NHL '94 with friends, and the fights became too real. Then the fellas take out $300, but only intend to spend $100 of it, as they talk about a heartbreak movie that does the impossible by making Jon Favreau's whiny Mike actually likeable. He co-stars with Vince Vaughn who was basically playing himself, but with charisma turned up to 11, as his character Trent pulls off an equally impressive feat by snagging two waitresses at a casino. All of this leads to the guys sharing stories from their own bar hopping days, and fortuitous interactions with beautiful bunnies — and occasionally blowing it by not waiting the requisite two-plus days to call. This episode is money, and it doesn't even know it.
