He is one of the most influential filmmakers of our generation. If Steven Spielberg ruled the 80s, it is safe to say Quentin Tarantino owned the 90s. His story is almost as famous as his observations of the ways of European McDonalds. A video store clerk who used a few big breaks to his full advantage. But as myself, Jack, and Alyx go through his resume in this retrospective, we will observe whether that still stands true today. We will also review his brand new film Once Upon A Time In Hollywood, and answer whether it is as good as its trailers look.
2007's Grindhouse did not set the box office on fire, so it would seem that Quentin Tarantino was more in need of a hit than ever. Cue work on a script he had dubbed his masterpiece, bad spelling and all, a World War II epic that he called Inglourious Basterds. The film was released to rave reviews, a near $350 million intake at the box office, and for the first time an Oscar in the hands of one of his actors.
Listen in as myself, Alyx, and Jack dissect the 2009 epic starring Brad Pitt and a then unknown Christoph Waltz, and decide whether the comeback Tarantino enjoyed was done with the correct film.
Note: As a companion piece, check out the episode of Movie Homework from a few months back when Alyx and Jack reviewed the film.
