It's face ON as NostalgiaCast '90s Palooza continues with a fond look back at FACE/OFF, directed by Hong Kong action maestro John Woo and starring John Cage and Nicolas Travolta! Film critic Sara Michelle Fetters joins Jonny and Darin to discuss the spectacular two-gun gunplay and deeper emotional underpinnings of Woo's finest American film. Let those doves fly and get ready for the big ride, baby!
Today’s guest is the gutsy and candid Sarah Shahi. You might recognize her as Jenny from Alias, Carmen on the L-Word, or the iconic Sameen Shaw on CBS’ Person of Interest. She’s a refreshingly honest and thus charming actress who makes no apologies for being herself. She discusses how befriending Robert Altman as an extra on his set inspired her to pursue an acting career and make the move from Texas to LA. She emphasizes the importance of being true to yourself in every way possible- for her, that means keeping her wardrobe casual and messy- even if it costs her the job.
Sarah keeps it real, opening up about what it’s like to film sex scenes and even begin lactating mid-audition. Her career is an example of what can happen when you don’t plan your life around the work and instead trust that the net will catch you.

This week we start a new segment called Forgotten Gems! We start with the perfect forgotten gem film with a dark and wonderful glimpse into the lives of east coast middle class families from the 70's with 1997's The Ice Storm directed Ang Lee.

Happy Valentine's Day! In honor of this special occasion, we discuss a movie that puts the romance back into terminal dementia, Nicholas Sparks's "The Notebook." It's the third time we've covered an MTV Movie Award winner for Best Kiss, but it won't be the last. We're talking to you, "Shakespeare in Love."
Rachel McAdams plays Allie Hamilton, a Southern belle with no trace of an accent whatsoever who attracts one GQ cover model after the next. She likes to paint, but that's about all of the character development we get from her.
Ryan Gosling plays Noah Calhoun, a poor blue-collar guy with only a giant mansion to his name. He can quote poetry, write daily love letters and do a bunch of other sappy romance novel stuff. You know, as all Southern backwater lumberyard workers do.
The moral of the story is that you should break up with your successful and charming beau in favor of an angry construction worker with borderline personality disorder because you used to like each other back in high school.
Enjoy!
