The QT Question: Once Upon a Time...In Hollywood

Wrapping up our coverage of the Tarantino catalogue, The QT Question returns with Once Upon a Time…in Hollywood, an ode to the Dream Factory of the 1960s, and the completion of the Cowboy Bounty Hunter trilogy. Is this Tarantino’s version of a Robert Altman film? Does all the name dropping of Italian directors feel like heartfelt homage or annoying fanfic? We have it out over Al’s antipathy for meaningless narration and kick Sons of Anarchy around a little bit, and of course take on the wild ending of the film, in the context of the man’s larger career and commitment to revisionist history. It’s a film to wrangle with, no question.

Once Upon a Time...In Hollywood

While this is, of course, Tarantino’s last released film to date, we’ll come back soon with an overview of what we’ve gotten out of this experiment, and of course, ranked lists! It’s written here, so it has to happen now. And after that? 

As always, you can download here, or find and subscribe to our show on the Podcast app (it’s called Frame Work), and that’s where you can find all previous entries in the QT Questions, as well as some chats about Game of Thrones and Lovecraft Country. Happy December!
