Fandango (1985)
Grab a case of beer and hop in a Cadillac, as we take to the road with The Groovers to discuss Kevin Reynolds’ debut feature film, 1985’s ‘Fandango’. Executive produced by Kathleen Kennedy, Frank Marshall and an uncredited Steven Spielberg, this little seen coming of age flick is also the first leading role for one Kevin Costner. Join us as we chat about its student film origins, uncover the dangers of reading the Wiki page for a film whilst you’re still watching it, and question the fact that Kevin Costner clearly doesn’t like sharing booze. Also, if you thought Josh’s Phoebe Cates impression was good, wait until you hear his Quentin Tarantino. As mentioned in the episode, you can help The Robert J. Hunter Band put the finishing touches to their next album by heading over to their Crowdfunder page (https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/rjhtheunfinishedalbum).
