I think there's a moderate possibility Quentin never makes another movie. I think he likes yammering on podcasts, writing about movies, etc. He's so obsessed with making the Perfect Last Movie, he might make nothing at all. He hasn't made a movie post-Covid yet, and he jettisoned the last film he was trying to make.
I don't really know Black Rebel Motorcycle Club very well, but two things are relevant to them recently. Yesterday, I passed a car with a "BRMC" sticker, which I haven't thought about that band in a long time. But also, SiriusXM has been playing The Call a lot and the singer of The Call is (was, sadly) the Dad of the singer for BRMC. So for you to bring them up is kind of weird to me
You've got it just about in line with mine or have the sentiments. I've got Death Proof and Django in each other's spots and the Kill Bills flipped. I've always thought of Django in 3 parts, Waltz, Leo, and Foxx and the Leo part is a distant 3rd.
Also since your dropping G&L easter eggs on Morning Lineup, I humbly suggest do your Morning Lineup intro voice on the G&L introduction, without telling Grierson beforehand.
Had the privilege of seeing my Red Sox beat your Cardinals on Opening Day at Fenway yesterday. Decent bit of St. Louis swag cited in the stands! Love people who rep their teams on the road. ❤️⚾️
With the bats, is there some rule about what baseball bats can be made out of, because cricket bat technology around the 2000s just went to another level where they suddenly became three times thicker but half as heavy as the good bats I was using before and ‘the middle’ went from being a 50 cent piece area towards the bottom to basically the whole bottom half of the bat, totally changing the game (even I who was never a power hitter even before my eyes went was swatting sixes with these things as a half blind man out there) and I’ve always wondered why something similar didn’t happen in baseball, just assuming you had very strict rules but this torpedo bat thing seems to suggest there is no rule
I re-watched PULP FICTION last year for the first time in a while. (I watched it so many times in the '90s that I kinda got burned out it.) The scenes with Butch and Fabienne worked better for me on this viewing than they ever had before, because Bruce Willis is *so good* in those scenes, balancing the genuine tenderness and affection Butch has for her with the violence and anger always bubbling right under the surface. He is *scary* in those scenes at times. It reminded me of Ralph Meeker in KISS ME, DEADLY (a movie that Tarantino clearly loves... glowing briefcase, whatnot).
HOLLYWOOD is my top pick just because it feels the most personal, but BASTERDS is a close second. It's so assured and so funny, and yet it has real bite. I think all the time of Landa telling Aldo "you'll hang for this!" and Aldo saying "Nah. more like chewed out. I've been chewed out before." That line makes me want to chant "U-S-A!"
Inglorious - the scene with Diane Kruger is purely perfect. Pulp is still my favorite of his, because of Samuel. Bill I is way better than Bill 2.
OK, so, since everyone in here is a fan of PTA (no relation), but there is a Paul Thomas in Hollywood as well. He was in Jesus Christ Superstar and then went to the 'other' side of the valley. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Thomas_(director)
I have such mixed feelings about Tarantino's movies, I guess it's the violence. However, I didn't hate the Hateful Eight, primarily because I'm such a fan of Kurt Russell and Walton Goggins. I enjoyed Django Unchained primarily because of Christopher Waltz. All the others had their moments for me. But I just haven't learned how to love his movies.
look forward to your newsletter every week

Congrats Wynn!!
The Esmeralda Villalobos and Fabianne segments are absolute drags.
I’m very close on your rankings, especially at the top. Basterds is clearly his masterpiece to me, and Jackie Brown is almost as good.

Pulling for Real Storm’s Wynn Leitch!
Thanks, Will … needed that.

Also, thanks for the shoutout.
