Binge Movie Aftertaste – Quentin Tarantino Retrospective w/ Alyx Ancira and Jack Falvey: Once Upon A Time In Hollywood (2019)
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.
By 2019, Quentin Tarantino was at a crossroads. He was no longer the young hot shot who reinvented the film industry with each subsequent picture. He was married. And, more prudent to his career, his boss over at the Weinstein Company Harvey Weinstein went from being one of the most powerful men in Hollywood to a shamed man accused of sexual abuse. Tarantino now had to take his projects to a different studio and redub his brand with a script that was unlike any other he has ever written.
Enter Sony Pictures. Given $100 million and free reign to do what he pleased, Tarantino nabbed past collaborators Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio, not to mention past DiCaprio co-star Margot Robbie, to star in Once Upon A Time in Hollywood, a vision unlike any other Tarantino has ever done in the past. But not less controversial.
Join myself, Jack, and Alyx as we finally discuss Tarantino’s latest directorial vision, as well as talk about the controversies which permeate the entire production. After the build-up, what will we rate it?
Listen below to find out, and be sure to stick around for one more podcast, as the boys discuss written works not made by Tarantino himself.
