I saw Tarantino chilling at a random bar in NOLA having a drink. He was by himself, I walked up and said “imma Huuuuuuge fan”. And he goes “imma huge fan of alcohol too”. Turned around and shook my hand, super nice and down to earth!
@@miahtiki I’ve met allot of famous ppl that I was a fan of.. but Tarantino is a legend! Everything he said was what you would imagine he’d say. Thrower off shit lol
Guy is from Tennessee..that's why.. greatest people and greatest place in the world..if u move here from a blue state, LEAVE UR STINKING LIBERAL POLITICS BEHIND
That is really classic and funny 😂 Brad Pitt is the only guy who would jump off the Titanic life raft to save Jack a.k.a Leonardo DiCaprio and drown in his stead. 😂
I had the pleasure of serving Tim Roth in a hotel I was working at and I was told by my managers to not interact and only to serve him and his wife. Of course I couldn't help myself and I said I loved his work in Reservoir Dogs and he was very humble and thankful. We started chatting and I asked him if Tarantino really is that crazy or is it for show and he simply said "man, you have no idea"
I love that Joe knows enough that when you have Quentin you just ask a question and let him go, he’ll carry the conversation on his own and does it so well
Absolutely! Stan Freberg was like that too. I just needed a one line sound bite from him once and an hour later his wife got on the line saying "Stan, don't you think maybe the young man has other things he needs to do today?"
Can you do a theory on what would happen if Vader kept a bunch of loose sand in his suit? I’m assuming he’d be the most powerful force user in the galaxy from being pissed off all the time
@@penknight8532 You and your "like" will stay in your set potato boring life. That's fine do that. People will be changed and moved and fucked up whether you think or not. 😉
I watch Pulp Fiction once or twice each year. And to me it's one of those movies that leaves you thoughtful every time. And as I've aged.. I'm now 31 years old, the movie, or the message of the movie changes with me. And I pick up something new almost every time I see it. It's one of my absolute favorite movies of all time, and I never get sick of it.
@H As I get older, I see things from a different perspective. I have different values, and a whole lot more experience. I can relate to things in the movie, the previously just went straight over my head. That's how the message changes with me, even tho the movie don't necessarily change.
Quentin is geeky, awkward, and a bit odd-looking, but there truly isn’t a cooler person alive. An absolute genius, and he knows it. No one controls him. He does whatever the fuck he wants because he’s Quentin god damn Tarantino. Love him.
@586KING i personally dont feel the gimp scene had to be about race. If you put a big white guy in there it would have shocked just as much. Presenting that scene so brutally put you in both of the captives shoes and showed you how sick and twisted those gun shop owners were. And it also presents a hidden evil with ownership and zed as a police man. That scene would typically be associated with a violent gang but instead it was literally the underside of the establishment.
@@ss-iw6cs Damn you must be Quentin T HATER!!! He makes nothing but Block Busters!! One of the Greatest Directors of our time!!! But to each his own! ( I want my 100 scalps, from 100 Dead Nazis !!!! ) Lol 😆😆😆
I'm 60. And everything Quentin mentioned about TV , Speed Racer, Saturday morning cartoons, 4:30 movie of the week, ...etc. Brings back such strong nostalgic memories. He's so right we were the TV generation.
I'm 56 and I remember schoolhouse rock, speed racer, ect but I never considered myself Gen X. I'm from the 80s and we are pretty much a lost generation. Mall kids.
Yes, and for what it's worth we appreciated the comforts of reruns in the afternoons and sought the certain episodes. We engaged with what shows were available to us for entertainment before the boom of cable TV. By happenstance we became the reference makers.
I'm the same age and thought exactly the same thing. What he didn't mention, but could have, were all the reruns of stupid sitcoms like Giiligan's Island, Hogan's Heroes, the Munsters, Beverly Hillbillies, and Green Acres. Heck, my brother and I still pull random quotes from these shows once in a while: "I know....nothing!!!' "Well, Granny, I'm going out to the ceeement pond...." "Feed Spot...he's hungry." "Miiiiister Douglas!!!"
jay dubya Agreed. I think those reruns are just as relevant to his point. I’m GenX too (though younger than QT) and I still can quote entire scenes of dialogue from The Brady Bunch.
Kill Bill was Tarantino's first movie I watched as a kid, so you must imagine that a 8-years-old kid watches a movie like that is kind of shocking, then I watched Pulp Fiction, Inglourious Basterds, which I consider a truly masterpiece with Christoph Waltz's great performance as Colonel Hans Landa. All along the history of cinema, nothing overcomes that film.
I was like 13 when i first saw kill bill and i was traumatized but like up to this day and after infinite rewatches, it is still my favorite Tarantino movie
Yes, you should. I've done it yesterday. Tons of interesting facts and insights into his creative process. Just like you'd imagine Joe Rogan talking to Quentin Tarantino 🙂. Recommended!
I remember my parents rented Pulp Fiction and turned it off because they thought I was too young to see it around the time the heroin came out. I went back down to finish it as soon as they went to bed. Started a lifelong love of cinema that night.
Same scenario in the 90's with me happened--except with me it was my dad and me and I rented "Bad Lieutenant" with Harvey Keitel. Shocked both of us and video tape was ejected. I finished watching it next day.
Pulp Fiction might be one of the best films ever made. I think it’s the dialogue. Tarantino can make a conversation about Dutch McDonald’s fun and vibrant. Plus, a truly epic cast. My favourite section might be the one in which he himself appears with Harvey Keitel. And, I love how the story jumps and moves about and ends where it started, it’s almost like a less crazy, noir and just better Sin City
Never been affected by a movie more than Pulp Fiction - I was 19yrs old when it come out & at 46yrs old it’s still the most EPIC movie I’ve ever seen 👍🏻🇦🇺
the word "epic" literally means nothing anymore, because of overuse. it conveys nothing about what you're describing. it's the ultimate filler word. try harder.
I’m also 46 and saw it in Dallas with my dad…It made my brain start thinking of creative ways to use violence to solve simple problems. We went to a McDonald’s drive through afterwards and waited 10mins in line just to be told they were closed when we tried to order. The thoughts we both had at that moment were dark very dark to say the least.
This episode on Spotify in it’s entirety was one of my favorites so far. Quentin is so interesting and tells such great stories. He’s a genius. I’m Gen X too, so loved all the references he made.
Hello my beautiful great fans , thanks for your support, how are you doing, I hope everything is fine, you can write me in the hangout app with my email💖quentintarantino329@gmail.com
"Pop cultural glue that's going to tie them to their generation when they got older". That is pure gold and very true. Shared experiences of watching the same shows growing up.
@@nguvideos2868 Yeah, I've been aware pop culture doesn't exist anymore for a while cause of the choice the internet offers, but the way Tarantino explained it really made me realize how bad this could be. Once our generation grows up, what common cultural experiences will we have that will keep us glued? 9/11 and Trump? Social media culture? Two random baby boomers who have never met before could sit down at a nursing home and talk about the 60s counterculture, Elvis, the Beatles, Vietnam, the Cuban Missile crisis, what it was like having ww2 vets as dads etc, and they'd be able to relate to each other. But us? Even RU-vid stars from 10 years ago are forgotten, memes come and go every year. Internet culture is a poor substitute for pop culture.
@@nguvideos2868 pop culture is no longer creative and unique though I don’t know if it ever was meant to be. I feel like it’s all just stealing and clout chasing with no real talent
@@nguvideos2868 People still watch similar things. Look at how popular Game of Thrones or Rick and Morty became for example. These shows will be remembered for good or bad reasons, that's the pop culture.
This is why I love Joe's long form podcast. Quentin was just on Real Time with Bill Maher, but it was so short. Would it kill Bill to do a longer interview?
@@palindromia130 When Bonnie goes shopping she buys shit. I buy the gourmet expensive stuff because when I drink it I wanna taste it. But you know whats on my mind right now? It aint the coffee in my kitchen. It's the dead.....
Gary Oldman as the white Rasta, Drexl, that was something! All the smaller roles shined in that movie, Bronson Pinchot, Brad Pitt, Michael Rapaport and Val Kilmer. Quotes · Floyd : Don't condescend me, man. I'll fuckin' kill ya, man. · Floyd : Hey! Get some beer and some cleaning products!
I saw Pulp the first day it came out in Nashville, TN. We walked out of the theater with our minds totally blown. We knew cinema had changed forever. The second topic of conversation was how GREAT it was to see John Travolta back and better than ever.
Tarantino is spot on with 70s pop culture that influenced us during that period movies, tv shows, cartoons, speed racer, happy days, jaws, green acres, and music. Today I still have conversations of all these with friends and family or make references to that they get immediately. Quentin is an amazing film maker! I'm ready for his next masterpiece!
I would love to see an actual conversation between him and Diane Kruger about the choking scene in Inglourious Basterds. I've seen Quentin mention he wanted it to look real, and Diane said afterwards that the decision was questionable and she'd never do it again, but what a topic that would be imo.
Watched the episode on Spotify... amazing...I never understood Mr Tarantino, was not a fan at all...new I do and I'm a fan. Excellent work Mr Rogan. Your personal knowledge and non arrogance got Tarantino to open up and tell his story... About his background...why he does what he does in a relax and non aggressive way...a person that is known to be able to walk away. Great job!
Pulp Fiction is number 1 on my list of favorite movies. There isn't a bad part, there isn't a down or slow part that feels like it drags. It's quality from beginning to end with amazing acting and it ties in all the parts together beautifully. I watch it every time I harvest and trim my cannabis grows, and it never gets old.
I watched pulp fiction last night for the first time , and is a masterpiece , soo good , with incredible acting , dialogue , shoot , soundtrack , and the story telling is original , and so well written , no one can't film like this nowday .
I saw Pulp Fiction in 1994 at the 2nd showing theater with my dad when I was 9 and in the 4th grade, for $1.50 a ticket. Immediately became my favorite movie and remains so to this day. Thanks pops. Rip.
I don't know if I would take a 9 year old to see Pulp Fiction but not for the reasons one might think. I was 9 when it came out and obviously my mom didn't let me watch it. But that was because of the violence and language. I don't know think a 9 year old would understand a lot of the themes and motifs in this movie. For example, the scene with the gimp and the attempted rape of Marcellus, the non linear storytelling which jumps around which may be confusing, the adrenaline 💉 along with drug usage and the somewhat liberal use of the N word.
@H Advertising is based on the fact that people can be swayed by what they see. Laws were passed not allowing a TV kids show host to hawk a product for example. If the media can sway people's minds, imagine a movie with rape and killing. NOT saying that'd make someone a rapist and murderer. But how exactly does a young mind without other life experiences slot those images correctly in their psyche? There's such a thing as age appropriateness.
Come to Christ. He is the way, the truth and the life. He will welcome you with open arms, and wash you clean from all sin. On your own- you can not be righteous before God because we have all broken God’s moral law. Only Christ’s righteousness covering us can reconcile us (depraved sinners) to a Holy and Righteous and good God. Repent. Turn away from this sin and believe in Jesus Christ. He, God incarnate lived a perfect and sinless life. He died on the cross as a substitute for us and faced the wrath of God for us. He died but resurrected as death had no power over Him. He sits at the right hand of the Father right now. Please call on Him. He comes to all who call on him. Be saved through faith and know eternal life.
Still my favorite movie. True genius. I like Rogans description of it too. Does seem to capture the feeling. The girl I’m with hadn’t seen or heard of pulp fiction, which blew my mind. I asked “how could you live through the 90s without any knowledge of pulp fiction?” She said “maybe I have seen it and don’t remember”. I told her “ that’s impossible. You don’t see pulp fiction and forget seeing it”
@@jackedkerouac4414 Good point, but I don’t think that’s the case. Very soon after that mind boggling conversation, I made her watch PF and she loved it. She grew up out in the country, which doesn’t fully explain it in my book. I just try not to think about it because I still can’t make sense of it.
Great interview. I feel he tapped into a character realism that people could relate to which made every character more interesting. A bond villain never deviates from talking about world domination but to have bad guys who kill for a living discuss what's better, McDonald's or burger King really makes you feel you could know these people. Spielberg did similar when he tapped into family life in his early movies. The family squabbles and parent, child relations in Jaws, E.T. , close encounters, really showed the warts and all of how families no matter what the intentions walk the fine line of being disfunctional. He builds a great movie around that and we can relate more to the characters and buy into their story more.
4:35 is so true, the old stuff that we all experienced as kids truly bonds generations together, and people outside of that time period and moment feel like outsiders
@@peterhju I can't stand the copious use of the word "literally" these days myself. Now you google the definition and find "[informally] used for emphasis or to express strong feeling while not being literally true." In other words, the dictionary accepts its use as its literal opposite. We have lost, my friend.
@@seanhickey1999 I was mostly just joking but there was a small element of truth in there. It kind of goes to show you that to be a good story teller takes more than just telling a good story. Timing, delivery, confidence, voice, Morgan Freeman can make anything sound good for example! Again, mostly joking but there is a little truth to it.
That's pretty cool as an observation. He's a visual story teller. Describing through word is a lot more work than showing someone a picture of something.
@@ProjectAthens144 Yes! You articulated my own idea better than I did. There are many ways to tell a story, visually, musically, orally, and the art of sitting down and telling a story is very different than the art of telling a story through film, as evident by this interview.
I watched that movie while on leave from the Marines Corps. I watched it in the middle of the afternoon in a theater with about four old ladies present. The Christopher Walken "watch" scene came on and I let out a loud laugh when he dropped the "I hid this uncomfortable hunk of metal up my ass for two years....and now little man I give it to you." The old ladies sounded a little shocked.
Reminds me of when I saw "Happiness" in a theater in Boston and people started leaving in droves, including a group of little old ladies, until there was just a few people left. I also remember seeing Pulp Fiction in a packed theater and being one of the few people guffawing at scenes like that. Same with Gran Torino.
I saw Kill Bill vol1 matinee style. 4 old gray hair ladies were there prob because it was pitched as a woman's movement and they lasted to the crazy 88s scene. Then got up and left. Did the same for Django and a black church of about 30 ppl walked in and sat behind me. I was like oh geez. We all laughed at Stephen tho.
I saw Pulp in the theaters about three times in a two week span - with a different person each time. The reactions in each audience, including two set of people walking out mid movie during the "wifey is coming home" scene is when I knew this film changed things. I thought it was and still is brilliant and is very QT. The country was going through a different PC movement and this film really shook things up. I look forward to the dialogue in every one of his movies as it is very well done. This movie blew me away and instantly became one of my all time favorites.
03:43 GEN X ??? Tarantino is 58 born in 1963!!! The Baby Boomer Generation: (1946 - 1964) HEY BOOMER!!!! Also Madonna and Billy Idol called themselves GEN Xers ... ALL BOOMERS !!! BWAAA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HEY BOOMER!!!! HEY BOOMER!!!! HEY BOOMER!!!!
sabre yep, pretty much that's it. He mentioned True Romance was a great "Tony Scott" movie. If he ended up directing it, he'd do it differently but that didn't stopped him from enjoying it. On the other hand, he said any actor that appeared on NBK wouldn't work in him the future. Stone changed the original script a lot too that he only received story credit. I love both movies LOL
Pulp Fiction to me was an Elmore Leonard book come to life(yes I know Jackie Brown aka Rum Punch) without actually being an Elmore Leonard novel. I found it to be an extreme exercise of appreciation towards that style of dialogue/writing. The coolest/quirkiest characters manifested as realistically as possible.
After watching Pulp Fiction, I have immediately decided, that I need to watch all Tarantino movies (have not heard of him at the time). Was not dissapointed, what a legend this guy is.
Come to Christ. He is the way, the truth and the life. He will welcome you with open arms, and wash you clean from all sin. On your own- you can not be righteous before God because we have all broken God’s moral law.

He sits at the right hand of the Father right now. Please call on Him. He comes to all who call on him. Be saved through faith and know eternal life.
Tarantino is a damn genius. I have most of his movies on dvd without even realizing it. And he's absolutely right about growing up in the 60's and 70,s. There's never been a time like that and there will never be another. I especially love it when Tarantino Is in his own movies . I can't get enough of this dude.
Missing Joe a ton and Quentin being my favorite producer for decades still isn't enough to ignore Joe's desperate minute long beg to join spotify at the end of all his clips. Still a hard no from some of us old Rogan fans....
More people probably use Spotify than RU-vid these days. Get over it guys. How is it controversial in any way? And the whole “Spotify is censoring him” is bullshit too, considering how much stuff they remove and bury with their algorithms here on RU-vid.
@@dreammfyre I'd guess you praise Apple and Amazon then too. Some ppl are drilling holes in their own boat claiming its ok cuz everyone is doing it. Capitalism only works if we fight the companies that have predatory practices.... They all prey on the ignorance of their customers
Without doubt he changed movies after pulp fiction. Quentin's choice of music, his dialogue, characters, choice of actor and editing combined is peerless, greatest moviemaker of our generation and my favourite by far.
HE CANNOT COUNT 03:43 GEN X ??? Tarantino is 58 born in 1963!!! The Baby Boomer Generation: (1946 - 1964) HEY BOOMER!!!! Also Madonna and Billy Idol called themselves GEN Xers ... ALL BOOMERS !!! BWAAA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HEY BOOMER!!!! HEY BOOMER!!!! HEY BOOMER!!!!
@@HybridGlobalCitizen It's not a hard science. Not everyone agrees on the starting birth year. He considers himself Gen X and he's off by - oh my fucking god - an entire year? Take your pills buddy.
The dialog was incredible, the time-line kept you on your toes, the violence seemed as natural as drinking a cup of coffee for the characters. It was simply a level of vision and movie reform that hit the mark and timing perfectly.
Quentin is one of those guys whose comfort with his subject reminds you "oh, that's right, he's a fucking genius." No one is everyone's cup of tea, but Tarantino created a world that we can visit, an alternate Earth full of compelling stories and adjusted to his own desires. Taking fucked up things and trying to do right by them by changing history with your storytelling is extremely courageous. Tarantino is fierce, funny, and fearless.
Ripping off every movie that you have ever seen that you like is no genius bub. The entirely over rated QT is simply the "video store guy" with aspergers on tremendous amounts of coke.
@@yoholmes273 LOL. You clearly know nothing about movies if you think ripping off other movies shouldn't happen. Every movie is a rip off of previous movies. That's how it works. There is no such thing as originality. Every movie maker knows that.
@@CillBill94 You are a total fool if you believe every movie is a ripoff of one before. Tell that to Hitchcock or Chaplin or WC Fields or any of the multitudes of orginal artists. I am speak specifically of the man in question QT. I can name 15 movies or TV shows off the top of my head he totally ripped off. He is a fanboy making cinematic masturbation for himself.
I had watched pulp fiction many times, but then one night I watched it while candy flippingand felt that I had seen it, really, for the first time. Since, watching that film has never been the same as it was before then. A true master piece. When Vincent goes to pick up Marsella Wallace and he stands by the fire place while, "Son of a Preacher Man"plays is a scene I'll never forget. Quentin restarted Travolta's career with that film. Honestly, Travolta has never been better, in my opinion, before or since. The master of dialogue, Quentin Tarantino, my hat is off to you.
When they tried to copy his style, they thought it was about throwing in random dialog about films or everyday conversation, but what they mostly never got was that those lines only felt random, but they never were random. Every single apparent random dialog line gave information to advance the plot or to present a character. If you watch the initial breakfast scene in Reservoir Dogs, the dialogue seems random but in the end, each character and how they approached things was presented. Tarantino never was random, he's been a precise perfectionist.

I was in my senior of high school and saw a kid in my 4th period had a pulp fiction t-shirt I asked him what the image was and he told me I went home that day and turned it on, till this day Tarantino has been my favorite film creator/director
I love Joe and I love Quentin! Both are amazing in their own right!! Both are very intelligent and people can't wait to see and hear what they're doing!! I love them both ❤️
Tarantino extremely astute. He crystalizes what is in my psyche, especially, as he says, a Gen X'er. Saturday morning cartoons, sit-coms of the day, ABC Movie of the Week, 70's movies--all that stuff resonates with me when he mentions it.
as a child born in the late 70s.. and reared in the 80s.. we had all the same.. all the reruns of 60s & 70s shows.. one of my favorite things was sitting on the floor with a bowl of cereal and watching the looney tunes show on saturday mornings .. i try to explain to my teenage son the glory of the three stooges and munsters.. but he just thinks its sad.. lol/
I just saw two hands for the first time. That was like pulp fiction in sydney, that was a trip for me because I lived in bondi and kings cross . I came to sydney in 1999 a year after that was made. Freakily enough heath ledger walked past kings cross station in movie one street away from where i was living when he died in real life
Pulp Fiction is really something. I remember I was 20 minutes in and I thought "This is the most entertaining film I've ever seen". And all this time you got this weird feeling that you're watching something special, but you can never really point your finger as to what exactly makes it so remarkable. It's a mistery, it's got this air of mistique that all this great works of art have in common.
Quentin making a conversation about a foot massage one of the most entertaining scenes in film history just proves how much of a genius the man is! What a film from start to finish 👏🏻
I saw it in Melbourne 4 weeks after it was released and had been listening to the soundtrack weeks before. Within 10 minutes of it starting I thought to myself this is the greatest movie I have ever seen. Its still in my top 5.
One thing I've learned from hearing these great directors like him is that these little genius things they bring to cinema just comes to them suddenly and they dont overthink things like what most directors do these days.
When Pulp Fiction came out in Cedar Rapids, IA, it showed in the $1 theatre by Lindale Mall. My buddies and I went and were blown away. We went seven days in a row. Good times.
