📖 “What if your entire career hinged on a single guest spot on Golden Girls?”

In this nostalgic, hilarious, and slightly dark episode of The JB and Sandy Show, the crew—joined by pop culture expert Steven Presley—dives into everything from Quentin Tarantino’s unlikely career-saving moment to the power of grudges and the absurdity of reboot culture.Steven kicks things off with a warning from director Christopher Nolan: start buying physical media before your favorite films vanish from streaming. The team discusses the value of DVDs, Blu-rays, and even VHS tapes, with Sandy sharing a legendary story about his neighbor “Drunk Joe” and his wall of adult VHS tapes.Then, it’s Tarantino time. Steven reveals how a $3,000 residual check from a Golden Girls cameo helped Tarantino finish Reservoir Dogs. The crew reflects on the grind behind fame, with shoutouts to Steve Harvey, Taylor Sheridan, and John Leguizamo.Also in this episode: Netflix’s reboot of T.J. Hooker, Jared Leto’s questionable casting in Tron 3, and a wild story about Jason Bateman getting stuffed in a dumpster by Todd Bridges’ crew during the 80s sitcom wars.Finally, the team gets personal about grudges—how they hold them, how they fuel them, and how Sandy’s list of four people he’d “take out” if he had terminal cancer is now down to two.
