Episode 03: True Romance

Zavvi's Video Rewind

Welcome to Zavvi’s Video Rewind, a podcast from Zavvi - the home of pop culture. Together we will be digging into our video archives, discussing a wide range of cult classics all of which have recently received, or will be receiving, a new release on disc.

Each week we will be joined by a guest to discuss a movie and the importance of film restoration, and for this episode film journalist Cameron Frew joins us to dive into the 1993 romantic crime drama True Romance, directed by Tony Scott and written by Quentin Tarantino.

The story follows an ex-call girl and her husband as they go on the run from the mafia after stealing a shipment of drugs from her former pimp, and stars a great ensemble cast which includes Christian Slater, Patricia Arquette, Gary Oldman, James Gandolfini, Brad Pitt, Christopher Walken and so many more brilliant actors.

The film recently received a new 4K release from our friends at Arrow Video, which includes a Zavvi exclusive steelbook, all of which feature newly commissioned artwork and both the director’s cut and theatrical cut of the movie.
