We have an animated presentation of the worst scenes, and then we close with segments unique to this series. There’s screenwriting advice from QT himself. We break down more homages we couldn’t talk about in non-spoilers, discover baskets worth of easter eggs, and we outline the many connections to the Tarantino-Verse.If you enjoyed this episode, then you’re probably someone we’d want for a friend.

Tarantino ReWatch

This Kill Bill 2 pod was a monster. We broke down the film with non-spoiler &amp; spoiler reviews, we discussed all the controversy, and we speculate on the kind of sequel we hope to eventually get with Volume 3. It’s our longest episode in a while and for good reason.Layout of Our Tarantino Review Episodes - 1:14NON-SPOILER REVIEW:Cast and Crew - 3:34Specs - 10:00(Covering MeToo, Weinstein, the On-Set Crash, and more)Plot Premise/Where We First Saw It - 32:20Production Values:Sight - 35:08mWhat Made Quentin Dance? - 39:41Performances - 42:30(Including Oscars Lens)Script Thoughts/Homages - 46:22(Including Screenplay Oscars Lens - 48:09)MMO Theater’s Spoiler Warning Scene - 49:58SPOILER-FILLED REVIEW:Trademark Tarantino - 52:01(Sneaky Classic Tarantino - 1:02:20)(New Tarantino + Un-Tarantino - 1:09:07)(w/ Worsts + Lowlights Scattered Throughout and - 1:17:09)Tarantino’s Screenwriting Advice - 1:22:51Easter Eggs/TarantinoVerse Building - 1:24:56Fantasy Casting Kill Bill Volume 3 - 1:30:33Your Homework/Our Social Medias/TALK TO US! - 1:39:35Coming Next From MMO/Words of Wisdom - 1:40:308 new segments are added to our normal movie review format. As always, our non-spoiler section begins with some casting couch stories and then the specs. But with this behind the scenes production story, we have a huge conversation about all of the bombshells dropped during 2017. Tarantino was under fire, and rightly so, it seemed, but we also ask some serious questions about the other powers behind this production.After we attend to this pressing business, we dive into the film. Our non-spoiler section features an Oscar Lens on the acting and writing. We discuss our first watch stories and review the production values, performances, and script. There’s a fun conversation about the soundtrack as we figure out what made Quentin Dance, and we also highlight many of the homages Tarantino made throughout the film.MMO Theater performs another scene to warn you of upcoming spoilers. Then we break down so many best scenes in our Trademark Tarantino segment. There’s the classic, under-rated, and innovative, and we analyze the dialogue, compare &amp; contrast the spaghetti western &amp; martial arts film genres, and we enjoy how QT had evolved his style up to this point in his career. We do have another discussion about the movie’s worst scenes before we dive into some screenwriting advice according to Tarantino. Then there’s a long look at the many easter eggs, and we finish some homages that we couldn’t do in non-spoilers before we wax poetic on the Tarantino-verse and build on our chat in the last episode about some major fan theories. Finally, we have a blast talking about what Volume 3 might become in the future.We don’t normally go this long, but just like how the film was a massive undertaking, we felt compelled to give this myriad of subjects their due. If you liked our deep dive into this film, we hope you would check out our previous episodes on Reservoir Dogs, a two parter on Pulp Fiction, Jackie Brown, and of course, Kill Bill Vol. 1. We’ll continue the re-watch next week with a look at Death Proof, and we also have more reviews of new movies coming with Spider-Man: Far From Home and Midsommar.

We’ll continue the re-watch next week with a look at Death Proof, and we also have more reviews of new movies coming with Spider-Man: Far From Home and Midsommar. So stay tuned. Let us know what you want out of Kill Bill Vol. 3, and do feel free to respond or comment on anything we discussed in this episode.

Kill Bill Vol 2 Review - We Need to Talk About Quentin - Tarantino ReWatch P. 6 - Ep 216

This was alotta movie. There’s a non-spoiler section first, where hopefully, we help you get ready. Then we do our best to explain &amp; speculate &amp; theorize about what it all means in our spoiler section. Finally, we ask - could there be Oscars?AlsoMike’s Caveat - :54NONSPOILER REVIEW:Cast and Crew - 2:48Specs - 7:12Plot Premise/Expectations - 10:07Production Values:Sight - 12:50Sound - 19:16Performances - 20:34Script Thoughts - 23:34Oscars Lens - 27:30(The Jordan Peele Career Comparison - 29:15)Watch or Not? - 31:23SPOILER WARNING DANCE BREAK - 33:20SPOILER-FILLED REVIEW:Running Down the Plot:(Getting to the Title Card - 34:26)(Bests/Worsts/Speculation: mHow Deep Does It Go? - 37:11)(Cliff Diving - 48:03)(Josh in The Bad Place - 53:55)(Dancing and Doing - 56:11)Thinking the Worst, Hoping for the Best - 1:02:23Sorting Through the Subtext - 1:03:46Political and Cultural Subtext Too! - 1:08:31(And Well as Shortcomings and Plot Frustrations)Final Grades - 1:13:03Your Homework/Our Social Medias - 1:14:52Words of Wisdom/Coming Next On MMO - 1:15:19The Non-Spoiler part of this Midsommar review does include a caveat. We will drop some clues to what this movie IS NOT. Hopefully, this is useful to you because we think that if you’re listening, you’ll want some reassurances where we can give them, and you’ll appreciate a clue or two. If you’re allergic to us leading you in that maypole dance, then maybe see the movie first. In any case, this was one hell of a deep dive from us.We begin with a cast &amp; crew profile, highlighting Ari Aster &amp; Florence Pugh, and then we analyze all the numbers going into this via our specs section. Our expectations for the movie varied &amp; we discuss our reviews of the exquisite production values, the horrified performances, and we dance around spoilers, but give you a feel with our non-spoiler script thoughts. There’s also an Oscar Lens, even though this is a movie event, where we forecast Midsommar’s chances come next mid-winter’s big award show. We also can’t help but compare &amp; contrast this follow-up effort by Ari Aster to what we already enjoyed with Jordan Peele’s “Us.”The spoiler section begins after a dance music warning, and we dive into the plot. There’s a ton of theorizing about some early Act I moments &amp; how those reverberate &amp; shape the rest of the plot. Then we proceed in a recap that goes off on several tangents, but sticks to our thorough discussion of the major scenes &amp; sequences in the film. Finally, we end with some more speculation on what it all meant as we break down &amp; debate our readings of the themes.It’s another loaded movie review of a 2019 film, our 10th on the year thus far. Check out our Movie Event Reviews playlist or our recent catalog entries to hear Spider-Man: Far From Home &amp; Annabelle Comes Home. Then make sure you listen to our 2019/20 Oscar Sprint Profiles in their own playlist. We’ve otherwise been reviewing a ton of movies this year from previous Oscar seasons with our Pixar &amp; Tarantino re-watches. The former is now complete heading into Toy Story 4, and we’re continuing to build the latter toward Once Upon a Time In Hollywood that we’ll complete by the end of July.This was a whopper of a review for Midsommar.

It’s the fourth and perhaps (?!) best film of our Tarantino Re-Watch, Kill Bill Vol. 1! We have been loving these retrospectives of late. Here’s another rave review for QT.

Kill Bill Vol 1 Review - QT Goes Kung Fu Fighting - Tarantino ReWatch P.5 - Ep 213

Rocketman left Cannes with all kinds of applause &amp; notoriety for director Dexter Fletcher &amp; star Taron Egerton. On a medium sized budget, it’s looking like a money winner at the box office. But will it be an Oscars contender? We have a piping hot take.What is an OSP? - 2:26NONSPOILER REVIEWCast and Crew - 3:35Production Nuggets - 6:44Specs - 7:26Plot Premise/Expectations - 10:46Production Values:Sight - 13:58Sound - 17:53Performances - 20:51Oscars Lens - 26:59Spoiler Warning Dance Break - 28:25SPOILER-FILLED REVIEWNonspoiler Carryovers - 29:33Issues, Lowlights, Bests + Worsts - 31:43Artistic Liberties - 43:14Final Thoughts - 49:48Final Grades - 50:49Your Homework/Our Socials - 51:16What’s Next/Words of Wisdom - 52:03So our expectations were super high. Maybe that’s ultimately the problem. Maybe not though. We pay Rocketman a whole bunch of credit that its due. It’s central performance from Egerton and the production values are incredible. But boy, do we have some things to say about the rest of it.We told you all from Day 1. We’d be honest with you. Though we may have wanted to love this movie, we didn’t, and we explain why in this initial reactions version of an Oscars Sprint Profile. Perhaps further viewings will deepen our appreciation of the film. Perhaps not. But one thing is for sure, we did not come down favorably on much with this movie after our first look.It’s our 7th Oscar Sprint Profile on the 2019 film year. We’ve also covered Captain Marvel, Fighting With My Family, Apollo 11, Us, and Avengers: Endgame. The month of June looks to be much more Oscar-y going forward as well. We have at least two more coming with Danny Boyle’s Beatles centric Yesterday and of course, Toy Story 4, which we’re building towards with an entire Pixar Re-Watch series. We’re 13 episodes deep into that, and we’ll finish before the big premiere of the fourth Toy Story at the end of the month. We’re also set to debut our Quentin Tarantino Re-Watch series soon, and as with Pixar, we’ll have a theme song and a set of unique segments to help with our study.Let us know your thoughts on Rocketman.
