This was easily Bill's best Club Random and one of the main reasons is because Quentin Tarantino was a strong enough guest to not get inadvertently sidetracked and was able to return back to finish his stories and make his intended points. I need Part 2 ASAP!

My twin brother recently died. He had muscular dystrophy and went from walking to wheelchair during adolescence. Movies had always been the biggest medium for our activities and conversations. Besides friends, Tarantino was probably the biggest character in our lives. Bradley could cheer for another movie nerd. He would have loved this conversation. I can hear him commenting on it now.
My heart goes out to you for your loss. I lost my twin brother 29 years ago, and it was the worst pain I ever felt. Grief is an extraordinary experience.
Tarantino talks quickly enough and knows he wants to finish his point that it actually kept this convo more balanced than when people are being overly polite and letting Bill ramble
I guarantee there are certain foreign film markets he knows nothing about..........he know A LOT but he does NOT know everything about cinema...........he is not the be all end all expert on cinema......there are other directors that know more than him......
@@samiam7342 No, I think he knows every single thing. What doesn’t he know. 🦶🏼He could name any woman’s foot, in cinema history, in two toes or less. I can’t believe there’s never been a skit of him doing that, on a game show. He could tell you the name of every horse, and how its bowels were, on every Western ever shot, anywhere, ever. He could tell you the entire cast and crew, down to every extra, or starving child, made to film, of Eisenstein’s Battleship Potemkin. 😆 He’s like the Ghost of Cinema Past, and he’s looking more like Scrooge, every year.
I feel like I'm in a very special place in life when I know all of Tarantino's references. I should he surprised at how narrow they were for this interview, but it makes sense because I think he was trying to appeal to Bill's taste, which is something a seasoned film lover who wants to encourage the taste of others will do. Great stuff.
Love from a Stranger, the Agatha Christie thriller he was talking about, was made in 1937, not 39 as stated by QT. I watched it after the podcast....meh...
The film QT selects as his fave from 1939, Whale's The Man in The Iron Mask, wouldn't make most people's top 20 from that year. That said, the great screenwriter William Goldman had Gunga Din (1939), which again wouldn't be in most people's top 20 for 1939, as his all-time fave film (not just of 1939), so 1939 does seem to be the sort of year in which a whole lot of popular film soared and touched people in various ways.
@@richardichard4237 Guy knows that his most ardent fanboys aren't nerds enough themselves to look this type of stuff up, so he knows he can be a bit carefree with his obsessive name-dropping and still get away with it.
@@c.f.875Ironically Toy Story was literally the Genesis of what was to become American cartoons entering the the mainstream of adult contemporary that we have today.
Did anyone listen to the part where the election is just a game to win and not about picking the best person for the job. Won't say Trump is the best person, but it shows where their mindset is. I suppose if you don't care about tomorrow then it doesn't matter, right?
Bill admires Quentin and wishes he could be more like him. He’s so pretentious about film, music, and what he pompously refers to as ‘the Arts.’ It’s no surprise he’s geeking out throughout the entire episode.
I never rewatch episodes, I have already watched this twice today! I absolutely love how Quentin is over talking Bill and actually making this an interesting pod not just bills thoughts over and over. I love that he is smoking and just helping himself to drinks making himself right at home. This is what this part should be like. Wonderful job!🎉
when you watch it be reminded that toystory is about trafficking minors, instead of childen they use toys... and if you do some research into the hidden room at pixar studios then maybe it will make sense to you,.
I freaking love Quentin Tarantino! Literally can listen to his takes on anything! Bill seems to be in his most authentic and I can tell he is genuinely enjoying himself.
@@chrispember172 , Bill's interview with Dreyfuss was great....but......Richard had this bizarre, distracting inability to keep from slipping out of the chair. Bill never questioned it. You just have to see it for yourself.
@@deviantfish2711yeah it's funny how people mentioned the chair..I remember the whole sister fever dream.. what you didn't give your sister a movie star kiss
I think what Quentin is missing about Deliverance is that the Sheriff, and likely the town understood that the men that they killed were bad people. That was the reason for the line “Don’t come back here again”. The Sheriff knew what happened but also knew they took out some extremely bad people, who likely terrorized the town
Not at all. The sheriff told them “don’t come back here again”, because they were literally podunk cops who had no case to stand on in a podunk county with no serious law and order. The best the Sheriff could do was say “scram” as John Voigt took a deep breath, obviously never to return. There’s zero empathy in that exchange. The sheriff is pissed. They would have just as likely shot and killed Voigt and friends to avenge the other cop’s brother-in-law if they could.
yes, exactly ... I always saw it that the sheriff had a good idea what happened, and also surely knew that they did NOT belong "HERE" at all ... don't come back and the matter will not have to be questioned again..
Agree. The sheriff knew pretty much what happened...he even replies to his deputy, (who is a relative of one of the missing hillbillies and is livid and and wants to arrest all of them...proving Burt Reynold's character's point that they'll never get a fair trial in that 'court'), that he doesn't have any evidence in which to arrest them on....a very honest Sheriff.
He's clearly watching all those movies because Leo, his son, is 4. I love the fact that he may discover animation gems that way. It's incredibly cute. I don't have a son and the idea of watching your kid growing and developing his peculiar, unique taste in art and movies is heartbreaking.
@@thedukeofnoNot to mention that both Lee Van Cleef and Gian Maria Volonte play different characters in separate films. Surprised Quentin didn't mention that. So it's a trilogy thematically but not narratively.
You can tell by around the 50-minute mark that Quentin is feeling no pain when he has trouble saying the word "criminal". By the end of the episode, he's pretty wasted, which is hilarious. This was highly entertaining! I'm looking forward to Part 2.
Agreed. Maher is an absolute turd when he doesn't shutup sometimes. He needs to pay closer attention to the balance between shutting up and interjecting when he's not being a turd. I can tell that Real Time does a good job of controlling this and reeling him in, because sometimes, he just doesn't care how stupid he sounds when he talks. On the other hand, sometimes he's the only person saying what needs to be said. He lets that get to his head sometimes.
It's more that Bill is a narcissist and narcissists love power. Tarantino is undeniably a powerful figure, you can't beat him in terms of status, he's able to roll with the best. That doesn't stop Mahar trying to interrupt him lol
Was your favorite part where he actually argued that Harris shouldn’t explain ANYTHING regarding her policy positions prior to the election? What kind of moron supports this notion?
Bill Maher needs to take C.S. Lewis's quote to heart: “Critics who treat 'adult' as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence... When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.” Just because something is animated and marketed at children doesn't mean it's any less artistic. The films of Pixar and Studio Ghibli are more intelligent, sophisticated, and, most importantly, wise than 99% of live-action films made for adults. I won't even mention a series like Neon Genesis Evangelion, which rivals the best novels in terms of depth and complexity.
Yes, but perhaps the fact that you are giving Japanese examples is saying something 🍻 And I’m not sure that Evangelion is marketed towards children, at least not the last episodes and the End Of Evangelion movie 🙂
@@mabusestestament I also mentioned Pixar, which isn't Japanese. There are tons of serious, artistic animated films and series out there that aren't Japanese, from Persepolis (French) to Waltz with Bashir (Israeli) to Song of the Sea (Ireland) to The Iron Giant (USA). Evangelion was absolutely originally marketed to, at the very least, teenagers. The entire mecha anime genre was. The fact that the series took a very adult turn by the end was part of its subversive genius.
@@jonathanhenderson9422 But it did take that adult turn (apart from the fact that ‘kids’ for Evangelion of course means older kids, teens, because it’s pretty disturbing for what people generally think about when people use the word kids) and the adult side is integral to Evangelion 🍻 Yes you indeed mentioned Pixar, I should’ve addressed that I agree, but there is a big difference between Pixar and a lot of stuff by Ghibli and especially anime like Evangelion.
@@mabusestestament Sure, but it was still marketed to kids/teens since that was the demographic of the genre back then. The fact that it got adults watching (and talking about is) is a testament to how great it was, not the marketing! As for there being a big difference between Ghibli and Pixar it just depends on the film. Pixar doesn't have anything as adult as Mononoke or Fireflies, but stuff like Totoro and Kiki's and Howl's and Ponyo even Spirited Away are basically family films in a similar vein of Pixar.
It's clear that Bill Maher's perspective on life is very adolescent, not least when he talks about children themselves. If he doesn't want children and doesn't like dealing with them, then that's fine, it's better that he keeps out of their affairs, but if the majority of adults didn't take their lives a bit more seriously than him and dedicate their attention to children then our future would be in a spot of trouble
I'm about to watch Agatha Christies 1939 Love from a Stranger starring Basil Rathbone, its 3:30am...!? Lets hope QT stayed for another hour and a half....! By the way 3 Days of the Condor is a great 70's classic....
I recommend the audio commentary for hot fuzz with Edgar Wright and Quentin they literally just talk about movies for 2 hours 😂 someone timestamped everyone
Im happy for him but couldnt believe when I heard him first describe being married with a kid and was really hoping he wouldnt end up taking the Anthony Bourdain route!!!
Quentin Tarantino just knows what works. He knows how to make hugely and consistently entertaining films. His passion for film making and being a super nerd fan of cinema makes his interviews fun as well as elucidating. Bill is good to hang with the adults and stop talking to minors. Speaking of such I wonder (a vagrant thought) am I blind or is Bill Maher looking more and more like Larry King?
@@carlwilliams6977 I think his producers were experimenting with booking out-of-pocket guests in an attempt to help the podcast “go viral.” Their plan largely backfired. It hurts his brand.
What a Pleasant surprise seeing Tarantino as a return guest. Will always be so thankful for Jackie Brown, my favorite Tarantino film and all time top 10. Great interview.
I had to come back for Quentin because he knows a lot about movies, it's fun to talk about movies and he's much easier to talk to about them than I would have expected. He does not come across as highfalutin. Bill also knows a lot about movies.
Get ready for the references of people you don’t know and have never heard ever! Quintin always drops names of old celebrities and obscure actors that only he knows. Love that guy. I don’t think anyone knows as much about movies as Quintin.
You gotta respect Quentin ...a true artist, never swayed by any trends, the public or critics..... Reservoir dogs, Pulp fiction, Django unchained, Once upon a time in Hollywood and so many more...amazing movies. He is one of the best directors in the business.
QT's ideas are his own. The Eastwood trilogy is not an actual trilogy -- the characters are identical but not necessarily the same guy. Boorman cast James Dickey as the sheriff... because Dickey wrote Deliverance. I think Dickey delivers the lines perfectly, btw. The whole point of Reynolds's Lewis is that he's a puffed-up, brittle ego who is not a good fit for tough situations. In no way at all is Deliverance a "fizzle." It ain't about "will they get caught" -- it's about whether John Voigt's Ed can live with what he's done.
Although not Leone's intention, the three films came to be considered a trilogy following the exploits of the same so-called "Man with No Name" (portrayed by Clint Eastwood, wearing the same clothes and acting with the same mannerisms). The "Man with No Name" concept was invented by the American distributor United Artists, looking for a strong angle to sell the films as a trilogy.[2] Eastwood's character does indeed have a name (albeit a nickname) and a different one in each film: "Joe", "Manco" and "Blondie", respectively. - Wikipedia
Don't forget that the "actor" portraying the Sheriff in Deliverance is the author of the book, James Dickey. I love the fact the Dickey's character knows that "something" isn't right regarding the story given by Beatty and Voight and he says to them to: "Don't ever do anything like this again. Don't come back up here."
Yes, and I realized that line was necessary to the narrative. But the chance of any of them 'returnung' there would be slim to none. That's true, especially for the Ned Beatty character. 😅
James Dickey also scripted a very hard to find tv film adaptation of Jack London's Call of the Wild. The best version ever filmed, imo, and the most faithful to the source novel.
Madmen. As a non smoker who hates whisky...No show has ever made me want to smoke and drink as much as Madmen. I challenge anyone to binge watch that series and not light up half way through.
Part of Tarantino's unique genius is that he still has the same enthusiasm for story, character, mileu, context, history, irony, schlock and the industry itself that he had as a teenager watching films with his step father.
What would be super interesting to watch regularly would be Quentin hosting a podcast where he picks the brains of people he feels have some of the greatest minds in current history. The way he thinks about things is unique.
i hated tarantino when i was young stealing all the ideas from my favorite movies, but as i got older. i saw the tribute and the joy in his eyes, his love, it was as if he had the same drive i had to make movies, and he made them, i didnt, that is amazing how he went from blockbuster jockey worker to director. I will always love this man and his drive. His dribble, his ego, his charisma.
Agreed. He's a pretty revolting person, but as a cinephile turned director, you can't help but admire the passion. So many in Hollywood got into it because they love movies too, but the business beats it out of them. Tarantino is fortunate in that he had such freedom and support all along, so he was able to keep that almost childlike exuberance.
My favorite part so far.. is them cutting straight to Tarantino smoking a joint and holding his pipe… and he takes like 6 drags.. I just burst out laughing
@@buddysteele7624 Christ sake this setting is set up for the two to have a conversation not a formal interview. Also, QT wasn't defending Blake as "innocent", he clearly said SEVERAL times, "I DON'T KNOW IF HE DID IT, JURY FOUND HIM NOT GUILTY"
Wait, I think he meant it "in the M&M way". The candy, due to the issue it went through with their rebranding and redrawing and the dressing of the candy characters.
You can tell that quentin tarantino respects bill maher as a person rather than as a TV personality. They must have well acquaintance together not just for what they do, but for what they mutually understand about each other, which is really great to see in today's world.
I call BS on him not knowing anything about Toy Story. The only explanation I can consider is he is using the interview tool of asking questions based on feigned ignorance to draw more information out of the interviewee. (Ala Larry King being lambasted by Jerry Seinfeld about his show being cancelled vs his quitting of the series.)
Me, excited, wanting to hear Quentin's lengthy analysis of 2001: A Space Odyssey and I ended up listening to Bill Maher and his opinions on kids.... Again
@@Wood2099 I disgaree, i bet most people responsible enough TO NOT HAVE KIDS, would have been great parents...and I consider myself one of them. Guess what, all the F Ups out there in the world....they had parents! LOL.
Quentin has got to be the most loving husband. To take your wife to see a movie because you know shes going to love it is real love. He buys a ticket just like all of us + wants to see her happy. Makes my heart feel full.
Too bad he's an idiot about it. I want candidates confident and smart enough they can deal with a hostile press, if they can't manage that how the hell are they going to deal with a Putin or Xi?
These Hollywood elites don’t know much about Kamala or even like her. It’s all about hating trump because he posts mean tweets. What good has Kamala ever done? Illegals. High taxes. Inflation. Covering up Biden’s decline. Trans in womens sports? Does Tarantino know this?
@Apiary_Tarantino isn’t quiet about Weinstein at all and has spoke about it on many occasions. Also Weinstein was well connected he had friends everywhere lol. This isn’t the take idiots think it is. OJ Simpson had friends too. Also he’s married to an Israeli. What is he supposed to do, support a terrorist group? He has the right to express his beliefs.
I loved every minute of this. Quentin is just great. Has to be one of the most authentic people in Hollywood. Very excited for part 2, hopefully it's more than 20 minutes!
Glad Tarantino was able to be the adult in the conversation. I can't put my finger on what it is, there's something about Bill that is so incredibly petulant.
I love that Bill has finally met his match when it comes to interrupting! - Quentin does NOT back down went it comes to completing his point! 🤠 Great episode! ...looking forward to PART 2!
Well, first, this is part 2. QT was on this very early on. But yes, it was good he met his match. There were several times where he interrupts Bill and Bill visibly sighs and looks upset at being interrupted. He then feels like everyone else he talks with.😂
@@jeffs6090 @jeffs6090 then I suppose the next will be part 3? or 2.5? I rem the bundle group ep but as far as solo ... you'll see ... theres more to come .. .. yea- I noticed those sighs as well, like he knows QT's amped persona .. I bet their dinner afterwards was at 100mph.
Can you imagine? Just drinking with Quentin talking about life , the arts and modern life?, this is just one of my fucking dreams I just imagined myself just asking him a lot of questions about the movies I know he loves and the ones I love and just agreeing and disagreeing and everything would be awesome, Bill also has such an amazing way to elevate the conversation and making it interesting without making it boring, as I see in the comments and yes they are right Quentin is the best interview guest ever.
This podcast is really dynamic. They talk history and about everything for hours. So many celebrities and Bill is so splendid I can't believe how entertaining this is. I laughed so hard, I called my sister and told her what you are talking about. I had to stop the video with Chevy Chase. It has been the funniest thing out there. Dana Carvey and David Spade. Very candid interviews and histories explained with everyone. Quentin Tarantino with amazing conversations at Club Random!
Anyone else disappointed that we didn’t get any reasoning for why QT canceled The Movie Critic and Bill didnt ask him what he’s doing for his next movie instead?
Tarantino’s sounding so wise about living well and working hard. I’m impressed as to how he’s evolved as a person and as a talent before our eyes for so long.
Voting for someone, regardless of what they say, is the exact mindset that got us here in the first place. Like QT and BM, people vote along party lines without taking the time to research or listen to the candidates. One last thought, please stop giving celebrities opinions any weight. They do not live in the same world as the middle class and lower class. They are in a position to spout whatever pops into their heads, because millionaires are not going to struggle at the gas pumps, the grocery stores, the rent or mortgage. They are blind to their ignorance.
@@Lauryncarnley93to make fun of the morons that say Harris shouldn’t explain ANYTHING prior to the election. What kind of moron thinks this is an acceptable election strategy?
Bill is right about The Godfather part 2, it ended the story and the whole point is that Michael can't be saved at that point. It doesn't matter if Michael lives to be 90 or dies a year after the events of Godfather 2. QT is right about Toy Story; the 4th movie is not awful but not needed and it's sad that a 5th movie is getting made now. I'm not usually the biggest animated movie guy but Toy Story really had a great trilogy,
That's the problem with Disney, they'll take one of their properties and squeeze every nickel out of it until it's a lifeless entity. That's what they're doing with the Marvel and Star Wars franchises.
I hope there are 10 parts to this. Oh, and guys, the 'man in the iron mask' is based on a seemingly true story, of a prisoner who was in fact kept bound by an iron mask in the Bastille, during the reign of Louis XIV (the Sun King/Versailles) under the pseudonym "Eustache Dauger." His true identity remains a mystery... but he clearly wasn't a nobody.
