Diving deep into all things ’90s. Cool. Violent. Funny. Quoted to death. Still feels modern today. This week on Talk 90s To Me, Miranda opens the briefcase on 1994’s Pulp Fiction, the film that didn’t just dominate the cinema, it rewired culture entirely. With non-linear storytelling, electric dance scenes, super cool hitmen and a soundtrack that instantly made you cooler just for owning it.

This week, Miranda is joined by broadcaster, podcast pioneer and film buff Jamie East to unpack how Tarantino’s second film turned him into a household name, resurrected John Travolta’s career, launched a thousand posters, and became the film everyone pretended they understood the first time round.
