Tacos were BOGO down on the boardwalk so 'Reno's out of commission just in time for Law to make his triumphant return to the BingeCast alongside Vallvey. Vallvey? Valley. Whatever.We got a Goog (single Goog, no junk in it) and a little talk about Marvel's SDCC 2019 panel and what's in store for the MCU. Then, it's on to TV Round up with reviews of Legion, The Handmaid's Tale, Perpetual Grace LTD, The Boys and Letterkenny. Jack also hates on Lost and JJ Abrams because clearly it's that time of the year.Law complains about MIB International and how gross Chris Hemsworth is. Jack reviews Midsommar, One Day Since Yesterday, Z Channel A Magnificent Obsession, In The Mouth of Madness and Hail Satan. Finally, the boys tag-team a review of Tarantino's Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Did it live up to the hype? Is Brad Pitt the greatest person to ever kick ass in moccasins? All this and more, so download now!

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.

After Inglourious Basterds put a stamp on his career resurgence, Quentin Tarantino felt the time was finally right to do a film in his favorite film genre: a western. Or did he? According to him, Django Unchained is his first 'southern'. Nonetheless, call it what you will, Django Unchained was released in the winter of 2012 and became the first of his films to cross the $400 million mark at the box office. Though not without controversy, as everyone from Oprah Winfrey to Spike Lee (of course) came out against Tarantino's view of their ancestors as how it relates to slavery.

Join myself, Jack, and Alyx as we explore that controversy, as well as the film's quality, and we continue our journey through Quentin Tarantino's resume, eventually leading up to a review of his brand new film Once Upon A Time in Hollywood.

Welcome to Movie Homework!

Starting this week we'll be taking a look at films that inspired Quentin Tarantino's Once Upon a Time In Hollywood (out in theaters July 26th).  Today's film is William Friedkin's overlooked masterwork Sorcerer:

A film that opened against Star Wars in 1977 and got absolutely buried, Sorcerer is consistently at the top of the list of Quentin Tarantino's favorite films (as well as Stephen King's), but is it as good as the movie's legend suggests?  The only way to find out what Alyx, C Chris and Jack thought is to download now!

Tune in next time as we'll have a new topic for #MovieHomework!

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.

Kill Bill was released to monumental success, so now, once again, Quentin Tarantino had the clout to do what he liked. While his movies have always had a retro feel, he had never done a 70s style Grindhouse film that he grew up loving so much. But with the script to Death Proof and friend Robert Rodriguez fully onboard with his own film Planet Terror, the time had arrived to finally fulfill his wish. But how'd they do?

Listen to this different approach to the retrospective formula, as I begin the podcast with a full film commentary of Robert Rodriguez's entry Planet Terror with my normal podcast host Matthew Goudreau, who gives his thoughts on the films of Tarantino, and how he feels Once Upon A Time In Hollywood looks.

Immediately following that commentary, I bring Alyx and Jack back to review Tarantino's entry Death Proof. Does his affinity for these types of films translate to an entertaining film? Listen to find out!

After Jackie Brown, Quentin Tarantino decided it was time to get going on an idea that him and Uma Thurman conceived on the set of Pulp Fiction. That idea was a Bride who is out for revenge. That film would not only take six years to get onscreen, it would be split in two.

Kill Bill Volumes 1 & 2 have been called two of Tarantino's most personal films to date. Yet, it is encased in genre, which some critics rebelled against when they were released back in 2003 and 2004. Who on this podcast has a hard time with these films, and will Tarantino ever return to this story? Listen to one of the most confrontational podcasts in this series yet to find out!

As a special treat, and a spur of the moment interview, Adam Simon was gracious enough to sit down with Jack to talk a little bit about Point Blank, his new film out today on Netflix.

Starring Frank Grillo, Anthony Mackie, Marcia Gay Harden and a great cast, we're always interested and willing to get Simon on the air waves here at Binge to talk shop.  Give this a listen and find out a little about the film, supplementary Mormon cinema and just how terrible films would be if studios completely gave in to SJW nonsense.

Welcome to Movie Homework!

Starting this week we'll be taking a look at films that inspired Quentin Tarantino's Once Upon a Time In Hollywood (out in theaters July 26th).  Today's film is Dean Martin's The Wrecking Crew:

One of Sharon Tate's last film appearances before her death, The Wrecking Crew stars Dean Martin in his fourth outing as secret agent Matt Helm.  Helm's mission: recover $1 Billion in stolen golden bars.  If this sounds familiar, that's because it's basically an American remake of Goldfinger, so check out what Alyx, C Chris and Jack thought of the flick and download now!

Tune in next week where we'll be covering William Friedkin's Sorcerer.
