Hey, do you remember Reservoir Dogs?

Hello and welcome, Hey Do You Remember, a show where we reminisce about a movie or TV series we grew up with, then take off the rose tinted glasses to see how it holds up.

I'm Chris.

I'm Donna.

I'm Carlos.

And today we're revisiting Reservoir Dogs.

Yeah. I'm Carlos. And today we're revisiting Reservoir Dogs. On the sixth episode of the fourth season of the Golden Girls,

Sophia finds herself face to face with the man she holds responsible for the failure of her late husband's restaurant.

The two don't just reconcile. They become romantically involved and eventually engaged.

But through a series of comic mishaps,

all of the wedding invitations are sent to an Elvis Presley fan club that Rose and Blanche have

started, and the Elvis impersonators wind up being the only guests at the ceremony. No, we did not

mislabel this episode. Although there are fewer pieces of entertainment as far removed from one another as

the Golden Girls and Reservoir Dogs, this episode of that sitcom actually plays a pretty

significant role in that film getting made, because one of those Elvis impersonators was portrayed

by a 25-year-old aspiring actor named Quentin Tarantino. He was pushed into the gig by his

manager, and even though Tarantino admits he was pushed into the gig by his manager, and even though

Tarantino admits he was little more than a glorified extra, the residual checks for this episode

were enough to support him while he spent his days banging out the scripts for True Romance

and Reservoir Dogs. True Romance eventually sold for the Writers Guild minimum of 30 grand, and

while that project lingered in development,

Tarantino decided he was going to use that money he'd receive to make Reservoir Dogs himself.
