Scene Unseen returns to normal with Chris back in the studio with Jimmy for their review of Quentin Tarantino’s latest movie, Inglourious Basterds. Jimmy apparently seems pretty excited about the film, due to both the trailer and his professed love for Quentin Tarantino. Chris comes from a similar direction, noting that the birth of his movie fandom was largely influenced by Pulp Fiction. In their dissection of the marketing, Jimmy brings up the film’s misleading trailer which clearly implies that the movie has far more action than drama. Ultimately, Chris says that Basterds is a great Tarantino detective story and attributes a lot of the film’s best moments to the villian, Christoph Waltz.
This week’s DVD picks go along with Quentin Tarantino’s usual style – “Splatter” films. Jimmy chooses the ever-classic Peter Jackson film Dead Alive and Chris picks Edgar Wright’s Shaun of the Dead.
This week, Chris and Jimmy reunite in Nazi-occupied France to go knifing, batting, and scalping with the rough and rowdy Inglourious Basterds.
