DRUNK CINEMA 093: "True Romance" Is Up!

 
"You're a whore?"
"I'm not a whore, I'm a call girl. There's a difference, you know!"
-- Clarence Worley and Alabama Whitman, True Romance

Hello again, movie fans!  My wonderful co-host Xan Sprouse and I are back with a new episode of Drunk Cinema! This time, Xan and I watch True Romance, the 1993 romantic crime drama directed by Tony Scott and written by Quentin Tarantino, featuring Christian Slater as Clarence Worley, Patricia Arquette as Alabama Whitman-Worley, and Dennis Hopper as Clifford Worley!

This time, Xan and I discuss things like Xan trying to get Iron Maiden in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, my informing Xan of the death of the Wu-Tang Clan's Oliver "Power" Grant, my screwing up our recording schedule to take my wife out for Valentine's Day dinner, this movie having two actors from Interview with the Vampire (1994), Patricia Arquette as Renee Madison/Alice Wakefield in David Lynch's Lost Highway, Dennis Hopper as Frank Booth in David Lynch's Blue Velvet, Val Kilmer not being that good of an Elvis, Xan dissing The Fifth Element, finally watching a movie with a Hans Zimmer score, True Romance being similar to David Lynch's Wild at Heart, Xan's wedding tattoo, Drexl's bad dreadlocks and excessive cultural appropriation, Christopher Walken in The Prophecy, Tony Scott changing Quentin Tarantino's script to a linear narrative and giving it a happy ending, wanting McDonald's to bring back McDonaldland Cookies, Virgil probably being the role that got James Gandolfini the gig as Tony Soprano on The Sopranos, why it's a bad sign when Tom Sizemore is the most upbeat person in your movie, Elvis being born a twin, new Drunk Mail from Dave Proctor and Christine Peruski, finally paying tribute to the late Rob Reiner, Xan having to pee, and more!
