74: Swingers, On a Night Out movies & Answer-machines

The fantastic John Favreau/Vince Vaughn indie buddy comedy Swingers (1996) gets the Forgot You Forgot treatment.  It’s a real gem of a flick, lightening in a bottle - Joe managed to forget it though. Topics on the docket: male friendship, the creative daring that got the film made, and the sad demise of the answerphone in life (and its dramatic use in films). It’s a ruder episode than usual - you have been warned.
