Well, I don't know why I came here tonight I got the feeling that something ain't right I'm so scared in case I fall off my chair trying to figure out whose the rat. Yes, it is more rats and it is episode 90-- which means something different. Tonight we look at a question that came about in the mid 90s: Is Taranatino a rip off artist? and if so do we care? Well tonight we look at the first salvo in that argument: City on Fire vs Reservoir Dogs. We get into the background of both films, the clear similarities, and the key differences and give our two cents on the matter before strolling off into whatever radioactive saloon that will have us.

Day by day, night after night Blinded by the neon lights I'm stranded caught up in the Slipstream.
