Every Rom Com 32: True Romance
Episode description
This week on Every Rom Com, we’re once again traveling beyond the borders of the rom com genre to discuss the first movie written by Quentin Tarantino, “True Romance.” We’ll talk about Tarantino’s influence on Gen-X filmmaking and culture, and discuss some of the controversy that surrounds him today. We’ll talk about love at first sight, and ponder whether main characters Clarence and Alabama have found true love or something else. And we’ll discuss some of the action-packed scenes and memorable characters which turned this box office disappointment into a cult classic! Plus, Jen gives you the lowdown on the movie’s “Street Fighter” triple feature, and neither of us can resist impersonating Floyd!
