Episode 130 - Fandango

In this episode of the show, we are discussing the first collaboration between Kevin Reynolds and Kevin Costner, which was also Reynolds' feature debut, the 1985 Fandango! Over the course of our chat you will hear us talk about how this movie fits within the grand legacy of Hollywood hangout movies, how it relates the Vietnam War-era anxieties, and how it also may have something to say about the filmmaker's own life experiences. We also touch on the genesis of Costner as a maverick star, rogue filmmaking and the crazy idea of expanding a short movie in two directions at once! Tune in and enjoy!
