    Episode 136: Discussing Tarantino's Best Films Of The 21st Century

    It's Tarantino time, baby! In this special interim episode of NostalgiaCast, Jonny and Darin sit down for a discussion of Quentin Tarantino's "controversial" Top 20 Films Of The 21st Century (so far). Listen as your objective hosts chat about the subjectivity of "Best Of" lists, why it makes no sense to lose your mind over someone else's opinions, and even compile their own lists of the Top 10 films they loved most over the past 25 years, as a proof of concept as to why any list should be emphatically 100% your own.

Jonny and Darin are joined by friend, film scholar, and Sonic Cinema podcast host Brian Skutle for an attempt to unravel the timey-wimey plot twists and wackadoo acting choices of a movie so apocalyptic, it takes several watches just to get your bearings on it. Plus, Jonny, Darin, and Brian rank their Top 3 films from Gilliam, Willis, and Pitt. Colonics for everyone! Listen now!

    Episode 134: APOLLO 13 (1995)

    We are go for launch as NostalgiaCast welcomes friend, scholar, and Rotten Tomatoes-approved critic Manuel São Bento for a rocket-fueled chat about Ron Howard's APOLLO 13, starring Tom Hanks, Kevin Bacon, Bill Paxton, Kathleen Quinlan, Gary Sinese, and Ed Harris. Manuel joins Jonny and Darin to discuss the movie's technical mastery, stellar performances, and out-of-this-world historical accuracy, plus an exploration of the introspective nature of film, and how our reactions say infinitely more about us than we possibly realize.

    Episode 133: GET SHORTY (1995)

    Look at me, Harry! NostalgiaCast kicks off its 1995 retrospective with a fond look back at GET SHORTY, directed by Barry Sonnenfeld and starring John Travolta, Gene Hackman, Rene Russo, and Danny DeVito. Jonny and Darin don't say anything more than they have to, if that, as they compare this meta-comedy classic confection to the Elmore Leonard book on which it's based, gush over their favorite performances and dialogue, and marvel at how Sonnenfeld and screenwriter Scott Frank make the adaptation their own. Don't be a f*** ball. Listen now!

    Episode 132: TOMBSTONE (1993) / WYATT EARP (1994)

    I'm your huckleberry! It's a tale of two Wyatts as NostalgiaCast gallops back to the Old West with a double dip into TOMBSTONE (directed by George P. Cosmatos and starring Kurt Russell and Val Kilmer) and WYATT EARP (directed by Lawrence Kasdan and starring Kevin Costner and Dennis Quaid). Our friend / above average fanboy Joe Buttice of the Reel Spoilers podcast joins Jonny and Darin to discuss the wiiiildly different approaches to the legend of Wyatt Earp and Doc Holliday, the Gunfight At The O.K. Corral, and whether both versions stand better on their own or if they'd work better as an amalgam of aesthetics, writing, and performances.
