The QT Question: Inglorious Basterds

On this episode of The QT Question, Schwartz and I take a look at the oft-celebrated Inglorious Basterds. We were a little concerned going into this one, in that there was every chance this could turn into a love fest, and that is pretty much what happened! But then, how could you not? Topics of conversation include Cristoph Waltz’s all-timer Nazi villain, the film’s crazy ‘five interrogations’ structure, what is achieved through Brad Pitt’s accent, other cinematic Nazis Tarantino may have taken his cues from, the ability of Mike Myers to disappear into a role, and lots more besides.
