NostalgiaCast kicks off its roundup of films from 1993 with a Bucket List look back at TRUE ROMANCE, directed by Tony Scott and written by Quentin Tarantino. Jonny and Darin recount their first mind-boggling experience with QT's patented snap crackle dialogue, meta-movie references, and endless homaging of classic and not-so-classic cinema, and discuss their favorite performances and scenes in a film that still shocks and awes audiences today.

Episode 122: THE LAST OF THE MOHICANS (1992)
Someday I think you and I are going to have a serious disagreement... but not today! NostalgiaCast continues its '90s Bucket List season with an action-packed look back at THE LAST OF THE MOHICANS, starring Daniel Day-Lewis, Wes Studi, and Madeleine Stowe.

Jonny and Darin kick off their 1992 retrospective by welcoming Ruth and Rae of the Paperback Flicks podcast to chat about the history of Irish immigrants and the American frontier, along with the sweeping panoramic vistas, overblown Oir-ish accents, and megawatt star chemistry that made this period romantic drama a minor classic.
