Now that the class on Keanu Reeves is concluded, it’s time to move on to our next subject: Samuel L. Jackson. This week, The Junkies go deep into one of the beloved actor’s most iconic roles: that of spiritual hitman Jules Winnfield in Quentin Tarantino’s Pulp Fiction. Sure, this movie is the source of numerous memes, but more than that, it’s a surprisingly deep look at revenge, redemption, and Royales with cheese. The Junkies discuss the use of language, drug use and casual violence in the movie, and how those same characters in the movie also have philosophical conversations about everything from foot massages to miracles. After that, The Junkies try to figure out what’s in the briefcase, fancast a modern remake of the movie with Zac Efron or Robert Pattinson (one of those guys), and try to guess what the L stands for in Samuel L. Jackson. Hint: it’s not Love. Don’t be a rectangle – listen now!

You can get ready for the next class by watching Samuel L. Jackson in Shaft (2000).
