199 - Pt. 1 - Kill Bill: Volume 1 (CC)

The Contrarians

The fourth film from Quentin Tarantino was a left turn in a career that so far had given us verbose bank robbers, verbose gangsters, and verbose, um, flight attendants turned money launderers? QT zigged by giving us wall-to-wall soulless Uma Thurman action in a homage to the kung-fu movies he watched instead of going to film school. Critics loved it, not caring that it didn’t even have a proper ending. Listen to Alex & Julio, joined by Chas Fisher from Draft Zero, as they give The Contrarians Treatment to KILL BILL: VOLUME 1!
