40-Let's Make a Drug Deal(True Romance)

The Picture Show with Austin and Phil Rood

This week, the guys kill a pimp to punish him for being a white guy with dreadlocks, steal his drugs and take off to California... then they watched a movie and talked about it for an insanely long time. Aus and Phil watched 1993's True Romance and immediately take off down rabbit holes about Tarantino, Tony Scott, race, LGBTQ films, Clarence as a Mary Sue, homages to the New Hollywood era, things that bugged Austin that Phil is more forgiving of, and things that Phil is surprised that Austin loved. It's a simple but complicated movie that leads them on a long and winding road in and out of topics, monologues, rants, arguments, and... holy shit, this movie turned the podcast into a Tarantino movie...
