Reservoir Dogs was matched by the amount of controversy it generated. This mean-spirited little movie made a great big impact on audiences and critics and it completely changed the landscape of independent cinema. A few of the edges may have been dulled over the years, but the most interesting thing about the film now is just how many of the elements that would go on to define Tarantino's career were already here right from the jump. Topics include: the even scrappier version of this they almost made and how one phone call changed everything, why the non-linear approach to the storytelling heightens almost every aspect of this, our varying thresholds for just how cruel it gets, which part Tarantino originally wanted to play himself, deleted scenes, and much more!
