via Paramount Legendary director Quentin Tarantino has chimed in on the discussion around the 2022 mega-hit Top Gun: Maverick, and it would seem that he had the same feelings that moviegoers around the world shared. Tarantino loved the film praising it as “a true cinematic spectacle” while appearing on the ReelBlend podcast earlier this week. “I fucking love Top Gun: Maverick. I thought it was fantastic. I saw it at the theaters. That and Spielberg’s West Side Story both provided a true cinematic spectacle, the…

Photo by Elisabetta Villa/Getty Images for RFF Talking about the “greatest” of all time is always a subjective matter, but for some reason we can’t quite put our fingers on — maybe it has to do with the fact that he himself is one of the greatest filmmakers of all time — Quentin Tarantino talking about one such flick automatically lends it some objective autonomy.

In recent years, Tarantino’s Star Trek “gangster movie” is the one that’s gotten the most attention, as it went from a potential upcoming movie to a script sitting on a shelf. That’s now changed, as comedian/writer Jerrod Carmichael has told some new stories about working on the once-teased Django Unchained/Zorro crossover that…

Quentin Tarantino is a director who famously never attended film school, instead getting all of the cinematic education he needed from clerking at a video store and just endlessly watching and studying movies. As a result of this, he has not just become one of the most renowned filmmakers of the modern era, but there are few human beings on the planet who have as expansive and encyclopedic knowledge about the medium. Understanding Tarantino's reverence for film for one might think that he would choose very carefully the…

Speaking of Taika Waititi, to me, he’s the Spielberg of today, with a particular strength in sharing stories about found families. (Every time he makes a movie or produces a show by uplifting creatives we need and breaks barriers for the marginalized, I turn into the Jeff Goldblum “you did it” meme.)

Four decades after famed film director Quentin Tarantino and his "Pulp Fiction" co-writer Roger Avary started their employment at Video Archives in 1983, the pair are reuniting once again to host a podcast exploring those seminal moments and the movies that influenced their later careers in The Video Archives Podcast, premiering on Sirius Stitcher later this summer.  “We never imagined that 30 years after we worked together behind the counter at Video Archives, we would be together again doing the exact same thing we did…

Warpaint would like to clear something up: they are not – nor were they ever – on the verge of breaking up. “I don’t remember this,” bassist Jenny Lee Lindberg laughs when the subject comes up. “I don’t remember having those conversations be public.”“It’s, like, in our bio!” guitarist and vocalist Theresa Wayman chimes in.“‘Oh, you guys are about ready to break up,’” Lindberg says in a slightly mocking voice.“Yeah … no,” says drummer Stella Mozgawa, shaking her head.Sign up to our Inside Saturday newsletter for an…
