Al and I’s ongoing discussion of whether or not Quentin Tarantino movies are really about anything continues with Kill Bill Vol. 1, one of the most definitive triumphs of style over substance out there. Download it, and revisit the cinematic mashup of Bruce Lee, wuxia, Yakuza movies, anime and surprisingly, 8-bit video games. Hear us discuss Vivica A Fox’s career apex, the philosophical inner lives of samurai assassins, the horror genre’s backdoor path to feminism, and the Tarantino secret to compelling dialogue (its character writing). I think this might be our best one yet.
We’ll be inviting our first guest for Vol. 2, coming soon!
