1996 was a year full of unique cultural moments. Two other high-profile cultural moments dominated the airwaves. These two unique 1996 historical oddities loosely fuel the horror-comedy Borderline, from Cocaine Bear writer Jimmy Warden. Nicholson and Baptista play Paul and Penny with a wicked sense of humor and pure detachment from reality. In its novel weaving together of fictionalized, odd ’90s cultural moments, Borderline nostalgically captures the era’s cultural weirdness and weaponizes it for a unique horror-comedy setting.
