How Good Is That?!

Tarantino’s second film is our second episode. This week Dan, Max, and Darrell talk some more about troublesome language, non-linear storytelling, and how cool it would be to just get to hang out with John Travolta.

The film that launched a career is the first film to launch Season 3 of our podcast! This season it’s all Quentin Tarantino films running up to the release of his 9th film “Once Upon A Time In Hollywood” this July! Reservoir Dogs is one of those movies that even if you haven’t seen you probably know several scenes from because it’s such a pop culture touchstone. Dan and Max also welcome friend and fan Darrell onto the show for this season for a different perspective on things!

We’ve reached the end of this season of How Good Is That?! and with it comes the episode where we all sit down with our lists, and with some lists given to us by listeners and some other lists we gathered from the internet to talk about the order they should be ranked in from best to least-best. Are there any big surprises? Did any of our hosts change their opinions from before the rewatch? Find out all that and more!

This is the final episode of this season that’s about a thing. The only episode left this season is the ranking episode. We’ve made it feature film length this episode, so it’s also a bit of a longer one as we discuss character death, why David Krumholtz is great, and why the Operative was such a good villain.

And that’s exactly what they all are, Objects in Space. This is the final episode of the series proper, and it’s a great way to go out for the show. We finally get River as part of the crew, and we get the best villain that the series had to offer in Jubal Early. Next week we’ll have the episode for the feature film Serenity, and then the final episode of this season for the ranking.

We’ve almost made it to the end of series proper with this episode, and it’s a doozy. We’ve got tales of Inara’s past, horrible misogynistic cowboy men, sex positive sex workers, and a lot of important crew interrelations.

We actually have a message for you this week, and that’s that Dan was in a new recording space for this episode and is a bit echo-y. Our other message is that we’re very close to done with this season of the podcast. Coming this week is a cunning hat, the only Jew in space, and a dead guy in a box who has a message for Mal and Zoe.

Saffron is back? And under two different names now? What’s going on? We’re stealing a relic gun, and we might be not getting messed around while doing it. Or we will, it remains to be seen.

And the back half of the podcast begins in earnest. We’re about 2/3rds of the way through this show and we’re really getting in to the meaty episodes. This is a very heavy and serious episode, with bits of comedy provided in the way that only a Joss Whedon show can.

Guestless this week, but we’re talking about one of the best episodes for character growth that the entire show ever gave us. Jayne grows this week, River grows this week, Simon shows some interesting emotions this week! All this and more while Mal and Zoe try to steal some medical supplies.
