This week on The Spark Parade, The Beaches front-woman Jordan Miller recalls the time her tour manager introduced her to True Romance, the cult classic written by Quentin Tarantino and directed by Tony Scott. Listen to Miller explain the film’s immediate impact above, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Hooked from the first frame, Miller details how she loved the film’s bright colors, ultra-violence, and — most of all — titular romance. She admits to watching and re-watching it so many times that it has ultimately shaped her perception of romantic relationships throughout her adult life.
