This was a great interview

[@vb8428]

The Pam Grier shout-out that early is awesome

[@oscarsalesgirl296]

He was subliminally plugging his next film ;)

[@robertpaterson3229]

This is the most a show from the 90s has ever 90'ed...

[@garrettramirez428]

Have you checked out the Ben Stiller Show?

[@libbad7419]

Stop with that, it's a most crap

[@maxthepupp]

Golly, who's that scrubbed, young, eager to please nice boy Jon is talking to? Loved that kinetic jive Of Quentin . its still there too!

[@benjaminbeckstrom1003]

I think the great thing about this interview is that it kind of mirrors QT’s thing about dialog veering from mundane to intense. I also love how they become increasingly adhd as the clip goes on

[@stevenburrito7032]

Funny to hear Quentin mention Pam Grier while pulp fiction was still doing the media rounds... Jacky Brown, his next film, was written for and stars none other than Foxy herself.

[@gregfalco4528]

It's based on a novel, but yeah, he always had Pam in mind for the lead.

[@merlinjames5954]

She was mentioned in Reservoir Dogs too

[@Ganiscol]

The Man had a plan 😏

Today I learned they shot video in high framerate in the 90s. "Until the late 1990s, programs shot on video always possessed high motion, while programming shot on film never did. This had the result of high motion being associated with news coverage and low-budget programming such as soap operas and some sitcoms."

[@DanJackson1977]

Key phrase: "Shot on Video(tape)"

[@DanJackson1977]

The only thing that changed after the 90s was they started shooting on digital... And then high-definition digital.

Paramount was the lead production company for the syndicated version of The Jon Stewart Show. Clips from Pulp Fiction were shown in this segment. Paramount has owned the rights to Pulp Fiction since they bought a minority stake in Miramax in 2020 from beIN Media Group. Before beIN, Miramax was owned by Filmyard Holdings from 2010-16, and Disney in the 17 years before that. Pulp Fiction was the first movie commissioned by Miramax after being bought by Disney. Before Disney bought Miramax, the studio distributed some of its output on video and TV through Paramount, thus the 2020 transaction brought Miramax full-circle.

There was a person passing out in every other screening of Pulp Fiction, always at the needle scene.

Fun fact: William Devane had a role in a QT directed 2 part episode of CSI😁

I dont believe I've ever made it very far into any of his movies.

@Felix Fox I still like Tarantino as a person, I'm glad he exists

[@ItzhakEthanEskimo]

@Felix Fox I also like Roman Polanski, especially for The Ninth Gate. But he's probably done some satanic stuff, whereas Charles Manson never killed/tell anyone to kill.

What's going on here?

[@gorequillnachovidal]

[@flamingocupproductions5329]

what's so odd/annoying about this interview is QT betrays his philosophy of later using music from other movies in his movies. Later on he has no issue with that, but here he does. He was probably more talented here. Those larger budgets ruined his mind.
