Episode 3: Reservoir Dogs (Pilot)
I'm so glad you're back for another episode of Podcast 64: The Macguffin Trials!
We finally did it. It took us a whole 3 episodes to watch a Tarantino flick for our Movie Lovers. Join us as we tackle Director Quentin Tarantino's second ever feature length movie. We talk about the North American social construct of tipping and why we do it, suits through time, the Cinematic Extended Tarantino-verse and more! Are you also a Tarantino fan? Do you hate Tarantino and his guts? Rant to us about it at Write2Podcast64@gmail.com or tag us in your rant reel on Instagram @Podcast64.
Reservoir Dogs starred Harvey Keitel, Tim Roth, Michael Madsen, and Steve Buscemi. Directed by Quentin Tarantino four years after his first ever movie, "My Best Friend's Birthday". Come join us as we talk about the movie that started a cult following that continues to grow to this very day!

Episode 2: Jurassic Park (Pilot)
Welcome back to another episode of Podcast 64: The Macguffin Trials!
This time around, Ali and I really dig our dino-sized teeth into some of the good, bad and non-sensical in this cinema classic, 1993's Jurassic Park . We talk about some of the operational and culinary holes in this movie and discuss whether or not the whole thing was the fat guy from Space Jam's fault (Wayne Knight). We also got into the weeds about where the park staff all went! Did they get t-shirts that said "Where were you when the Jurassic Park Incident happened?" Do you have a theory on it? Send it in to Write2Podcast64@gmail.com or message us on Instagram @Podcast64.
Jurassic Park starred Sam Neill, Laura Dern, Jeff Goldblum and Richard Attenborough. It was directed by Steven Spielberg 2 years after he directed Hook and 4 years after Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. Take a listen as we chat about how much of a cultural heavyweight this movie is and continues to be!

Episode 1: Fight Club (Pilot)
In this episode, you get to meet my very best co-host and wife, Ali! Ali and I take a dive into 1999's Fight Club, to pick apart some plot points and show some appreciation for Tyler Durden's sunglasses. Come along for the ride to "hitting rock bottom"! Remember we always want to hear from you! Email us at Write2Podcast64@gmail.com or message us on Instagram @Podcast64. Fight Club starred Edward Norton, Brad Pitt, Helena Bonham Carter, Meatloaf and Jared Leto. This movie came out in an era when cinema decided to take on some interesting topics that made an entire generation reflect on their own lives. Take a listen as we unpack some of that with you.
