199 - Pt. 2 - Kill Bill: Volume 1 (RT)

The Contrarians

It’s quite a different experience, appreciating KILL BILL: VOLUME 1 as the most recent Quentin Tarantino outing, versus watching it as the fourth of nine movies in his filmography. Has time and an expanded context softened Alex’s stance when it comes to The Bride’s adventures? Has Julio been overrating the first Kill Bill for almost twenty years? Has Chas’ unexpected clash with Tarantino over his writing in Volume 1 soured his take on the movie? Listen to Real Talk to find out!

Until then, let us know what you thought of Kill Bill Volume1: Can it get by on its style and exuberance, or does it need more meat? Is this the weakest dialogue of Tarantino’s career, or is the point that it’s not meant to be as “cool” as in his other movies? Do you prefer volume one to volume two?
