We Are Not Coming Out as 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.
