Swingers (1996)

Happy 25th Anniversary to the comedy which spawned a dozen catchphrases including “Vegas baby Vegas!” and “You’re SO money!” 😊 It’s one of the ultimate hang-out movies and tells the story of a struggling actor (Jon Favreau who also wrote the screenplay) who moved to LA just about six months ago and is trying to get over the girlfriend he left in New York - his best friend Trent (Vince Vaughn) is showing him the ropes on how to meet someone new…or is he?  We follow them along with several other friends around mid ‘90’s Los Angeles wearing bowling shirts, attempting to swing dance, and always on the prowl for “beautiful babies.”  All of this was filmed on the fly by director Doug Liman who would go on to direct big-time action films like "The Bourne Identity" and "The Edge of Tomorrow."  After twenty-five years, it’s time to head back to The Dresden!Host: Geoff GershonProducer: Marlene Gershonhttps://livingforthecinema.com/#moviereviews #livingforthecinema #vegasbaby #swingersSend us Fan MailSupport the showhttps://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/
