Binge Movie Aftertaste – Quentin Tarantino Retrospective w/ Alyx Ancira and Jack Falvey: Django Unchained (2012)
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.
