Connected to

Pulp Fiction: 3 lines craft ×1 programming ×1 verdict ×1

  1. verdict (verdict): Inglourious Basterds → Pulp Fiction. One host puts Basterds first and Pulp Fiction second among Tarantino's films, behind both Reservoir Dogs.
    “I feel like Bastards is number one, pretty clearly, and Pulp Pickers is number 2 pretty clearly.”
    The Big Picture · Top Five Gen X Director Debuts, the Fate of ‘Black Widow,’ and a Potential Oscars Disaster · 1:19:31 · Sean Fennessey (0.60 sure it was them)

Once Upon a Time in Hollywood: 2 lines career ×1 theme ×1

  1. career (shared project): Once Upon a Time in Hollywood → Inglourious Basterds. Ryan says Tarantino's project is historical correction, as in Basterds; a what-if movie.
    “his project is history. Like his project is this like kind of almost like historical correction of a record”
    The Rewatchables · ‘Once Upon a Time … in Hollywood’ Live From Sundance With Bill Simmons, Sean Fennessey, and Chris Ryan · 0:12:56 · Chris Ryan (0.60 sure it was them)

Reservoir Dogs: 2 lines craft ×1 programming ×1

  1. craft (craft): Reservoir Dogs → Inglourious Basterds. Tarantino's opening scenes: the Christoph Waltz opening in France is also up there.
    “That whole opening where you meet Christoph Waltz's character in France is also way up there.”
    The Rewatchables · ‘Reservoir Dogs’ With Bill Simmons, Sean Fennessey, and Chris Ryan · 0:36:07 · Chris Ryan (0.50 sure it was them)

Brad Pitt: 1 line career ×1

  1. career (career): Brad Pitt → Inglourious Basterds. Pitt does better work once writers like Tarantino give him funnier material that suits his twitchiness.
    “I think later on when Pitt starts working with writers who are a little bit funnier, he does better work in some ways”
    The Rewatchables · ‘Se7en’ With Bill Simmons, Sean Fennessey, and Chris Ryan · 0:26:47 · Sean Fennessey (0.60 sure it was them)

Michael Fassbender: 1 line career ×1

  1. career (career): Michael Fassbender → Inglourious Basterds. Fassbender is nearly funny only in Basterds (as the English officer parody) and Steve Jobs.
    “he's kind of playing like this great parody of the the Colonel Blimp”
    Blank Check — Patreon · Alien: Covenant · 1:29:43 · unknown (0.40 sure it was them)

Mike Myers: 1 line career ×1

  1. career (career): Mike Myers → Inglourious Basterds. Myers lately works in two-day cameos like Bohemian Rhapsody and Inglourious Basterds.
    “And inglorious bastards are both like, hey, wouldn't it be funny if you did this and showed up for like 2 days?”
    Blank Check — Patreon · Thor: The Dark World · 1:28:26 · David Sims (0.30 sure it was them)

Paths of Glory: 1 line craft ×1

  1. craft (craft): Paths of Glory → Inglourious Basterds. There are two ways to handle accents: the Basterds way of casting real nationalities, or letting actors use their own accents as here.
    “There's the inglorious bastard's way where you're just like, everyone's actually going to speak the language they would speak”

Raging Bull: 1 line unmapped ×1

  1. unmapped (meta ending): Raging Bull → Inglourious Basterds. Raging Bull's ending where Scorsese says it is his masterpiece resembles Tarantino's closing line in Inglourious Basterds.
    “It's it's akin to what Tarantino later did in inglorious Bastards.”
    Blank Check with Griffin & David · Raging Bull with David Krumholtz · 0:11:18 · David Krumholtz (0.60 sure it was them)

Raiders of the Lost Ark: 1 line theme ×1

  1. theme (theme): Raiders of the Lost Ark → Inglourious Basterds. The Ark ending is a mini alternate-history course correction, like Inglourious Basterds.
    “this is me creating an alternate history where there is like some modicum of like a microcosm representation of a course correction”
    Blank Check with Griffin & David · Raiders of the Lost Ark with Brian Michael Bendis · 2:20:35 · unknown (0.40 sure it was them)

The Social Network: 1 line craft ×1

  1. craft (craft): The Social Network → Inglourious Basterds. The best line reading category: Eisenberg's 'That's good, you should be proud' alongside 'Everybody in the German army has heard of Hugo Stiglitz'.
    “It's an all-time line reading that could base smarminess, jealousy, and resentment without showing much emotion.”

  2. craft (craft): Pulp Fiction → Inglourious Basterds. Tarantino's three-count device recurs, e.g., Fassbender in Inglourious Basterds.
    “There's another 3 count that I really enjoy from, you know, Fastbender and Inglorious Bastards.”

programming (2)

  1. programming (programming): Pulp Fiction → Inglourious Basterds. Inglourious Basterds paired for its short-story structure; Once Upon a Time for bookending Tarantino's career.
    “I have bastards because I feel like structurally it's it's got some the short story aspect of his very, it locks in together.”

  2. programming (programming): Reservoir Dogs → Inglourious Basterds. The Inglourious Basterds spelling is a Tarantino flourish; Reservoir Dogs' title is also odd.
    “It's my flourish.”

  2. theme (era comparison): Once Upon a Time in Hollywood → Inglourious Basterds. Looking at the 2009 summer, which also had Inglourious Basterds, shows what this summer lacked.
    “that was the summer of Inglorious Bastards, but also, um, you know, what what it had that this summer didn't have.”
