About this listen

We’re watching Natural Born Killers (1994) for the very first time — the explosive, controversial collision between Oliver Stone and Quentin Tarantino.

What started as one of Tarantino’s wildest early scripts became a chaotic, psychedelic media satire under Stone’s direction. Natural Born Killers is violent, unhinged, surreal, and one of the most divisive films of the ‘90s — and we’re finally diving into it.

In this episode, we explore:

• Tarantino’s original screenplay and why he distanced himself from the movie
• Oliver Stone’s hallucinatory, TV-warped style
• How the film tackles media obsession and American violence
• Whether Natural Born Killers holds up today
• Standout performances from Woody Harrelson, Juliette Lewis, Robert Downey Jr., and Tommy Lee Jones

From sitcom-nightmare sequences to kaleidoscopic violence, this film is as chaotic as it is iconic — and we’re breaking it all down.

If you’re into Tarantino’s early writing, Oliver Stone’s bold ‘90s era, controversial cult classics, or discovering infamous movies for the first time, this episode is for you.

Don’t miss our first-time reaction and honest thoughts on one of the most talked-about films of its decade.
