Vintage Cinema Rewind

Christian Slater. Patricia Arquette. Gary Oldman. Blake. Jason. Vintage Cinema Rewind is back with a Deep Dive on Tony Scott's (and sort of Quentin Tarantino's) True Romance. Can Blake and Jason get away with the score in time? Or is romance well and truly dead?

This weeks primer episode had us shocked that we hadn’t seen it sooner. It’s the 1993 movie True Romance, perfect for Valentine’s Day (at least for the guys) with a star studded cast, that goes against most romance tropes. It’s a hell of a ride from coast to coast with a briefcase full of freedom, starring Christian Slater and Patricia Arquette, with a bunch of appearances from some of our favorite actors and some of Quentin Tarantino’s best written scenes. Come check it out!

Okay, campers, rise and shine, and don't forget your booties 'cause it's cooooold out there today! Ignore the crushing sense of deja vu, because Vintage Cinema Rewind is still trapped in a time loop. Everyday is February 2nd. Everyday we get hassled for life insurance. Everyday the groundhog sees his shadow. Blake and Michael make the most of their temporal predicament by analyzing everything about this movie, from the later homages to Bill Murray's character arc. Can our hosts amuse themselves for eternity? Or will they both finally grow up and break free?

Ahhh 2023. Another year of Vintage Cinema Rewind. Another year of Godfathers, Silence of the Lambs, and Dog Day Afternoons. Another year of Blake mispronouncing words, Michael trying and failing to watch his language, and Jason losing his train of thought. Join these three as they reflect on the other forms of entertainment they consumed this year, including TV shows and their favorite performances.
