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 the huge critical and box office success of Pulp Fiction, Quentin Tarantino felt it would suit his interests best if he took a little time off. Risking overexposure, he would go on to work on features such as From Dusk Till Dawn, Four Rooms, among others, he finally lay low and didn’t direct another film for three years.
But when he finally emerged Christmas Day 1997, it was with not another original story about cool gangsters doing another crime caper. It was with an adaptation of Rum Punch, a novel written by one of the most influential authors of Tarantino’s life, Elmore Leonard. That movie is Jackie Brown. What was the general consensus at the time of its release, and how do we feel about it now?
Join Alyx, Jack, and myself to find out the answers to these questions and more, as the release of Once Upon A Time In Hollywood keeps inching toward us.
