Episode 78 – We Are Not Coming Out As Swingers

Swingers

Today we are talking about Jon Favreau’s freshman film, Swingers (1996). This film has a very independent vibe, made with only $200,000. It stars Vince Vaughn, Heather Graham, Jon Favreau and Ron Livingston. It is about an aspiring actor that is struggling from a break-up of a longtime love and how his friends help him through the pain. 

Movie Quote: Trent: “You’re so money and you don’t even know it!”

Some of our favorite parts of this movie are:

• We love the photos in the opening credits
• That sad apartment that colors Mike’s character
• We love the lights reflecting on the window as they are driving in Vegas
• The cast of characters at the $20 blackjack table
• The line, “Hang on Voltaire”
• The answering machine providing exposition

Special thanks to our editor Geoff Vrijmoet for this episode and Melissa Villagrana for helping out with our social media posts. Sending love to Melissa for a speedy recovery, we love you and miss you and can’t wait for you to get back to work. You are deep in our hearts.

Next week’s film will be Zathura (2005)
