John and I have made it to the end of the QT canon, with the weird, shockingly violent but overwhelmingly wistful Once Upon A Time In Hollywood. We will do one more to try to put some sort of capper on this whole ramshackle affair, but for now just chill out, have three or four whiskey sours, and do all the rating/reviewing/subscribing you can, okay friends?
John and Al welcome Jesse Perry to talk about Tarantino's sloppiest piece of provocation, DJANGO UNCHAINED. They talk at great length about the film's great length, speculate on different iterations the movie could have taken, manage to avoid saying the N-Word, even once!
This may not be our masterpiece, but it sure is Tarantino's.
Topics of conversation include Cristoph Waltz’s all-timer Nazi villain, the film’s crazy ‘five interrogations’ structure, what is achieved through Brad Pitt’s accent, other cinematic Nazis Tarantino may have taken his cues from, the ability of Mike Myers to disappear into a role, and lots more besides.
We tuned up some of our audio issues for the installment on the most forgotten of the proper Tarantino films, JACKIE BROWN. We discuss the effects of aging, heists, adaptation Sam Jackson (of course), and proper etiquette for prank calling Robert De Niro.
JACKIE BROWN is a great crime movie, and even if you don't like the podcast or Tarantino generally you should check it out.
