Our Tarantino Series Re-Watch continues. We’ve already reviewed Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction in a two parter, Jackie Brown, Kill Bill Vol. 1 and Vol 2, and Death Proof. Now it’s time to study one of our favorites, Inglourious Basterds. A non-spoiler section kicks off the episode as we chronicle many of the production backstories & go behind the scenes. The section builds into an Oscar Lens and looks at the 8 nominations and 1 win at 2010’s Academy Awards.
Then in our spoiler section, we enjoy a Trademark Tarantino segment, highlighting all our bests. Yes, we do touch upon some worsts. But the review also features much more. We relay screenwriting advice from Tarantino himself, and we also have fun with the Tarantino-verse. For after discussing all of the homages he makes to other movies in the non-spoiler section, we connect this movie to his other films and debate why he used real historical figures in this, his most ambitious storytelling to date.
The Oscars Off-Season has come to a close with the release of our Mid-Year Report. There, we’re going category by category, and we’re discussing all the contenders, frontrunners, likely nominations, and wildcards or lovable longshots. We’ve also gotten back to reviewing 2019 films of late. Our entire Pixar Series Re-Watch built up to our study of Toy Story 4. We continued our look at the Conjuring Universe with our review of Annabelle Comes Home, and we’ve always reviewed the newest Marvel films as Spider-Man: Far From Home became no exception. Then of course, we’ve continued to review the best new horror films with our study of Midsommar.
