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!     Great Retrospective Article On “True Romance”: https://www.maxim.com/entertainment/true-romance-15-years-later/  Brief History of Romance Comics: http://cbldf.org/2013/02/tales-from-the-code-youve-lost-that-loving-feeling-the-rise-and-fall-of-romance-comics/  Quentin Tarantino’s Partially Lost Short Film “My Best Friend’s Birthday”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X6MUbRZSg80  Controversies Surrounding Quentin Tarantino & Women: https://www.thedailybeast.com/quentin-tarantinos-history-of-disturbing-behavior-toward-his-actresses  Updated Statements From Uma Thurman & Diane Kruger: https://www.screendaily.com/news/uma-thurman-defends-quentin-tarantino-in-kill-bill-car-crash-row/5126280.article  https://www.rollingstone.com/movies/movie-news/diane-kruger-defends-quentin-tarantino-he-never-abused-his-power-with-me-205495/  More Info Came From This Book: Quentin Tarantino Interviews, 1998, edited by Gerald Peary   For More Information on Christian Slater Check Out Our “Heathers” Episode: https://www.everyromcom.com/podcast-1/episode/1b0ee1ef/every-rom-com-30-heathers  Patricia Arquette Info: https://www.mamamia.com.au/arquette-siblings-childhood/     Tarantino As Gen-X’s Most Prominent Auteur:  https://www.theguardian.com/film/filmblog/2013/jan/15/quentin-tarantino-most-influential-director   Street Fighter YouTube links:  The Street Fighter: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yl_zkOruS5I&t=90s  Return of The Street Fighter: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-qwgle9Ix28&t=111s  Sister Street Fighter: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=byDWHC4cT6M The Street Fighter Movie Not On The Marquee!: The Street Fighter's Last Revenge: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sE9hjyKsyYA    Another Great Making-Of Article: https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/films/features/true-romance-quentin-tarantino-masterpiece-anniversary-25-years-patricia-arquette-tony-scott-a8526931.html       Samuel L.
