Ep940: Late Screening: KILL BILL VOLUME 1 (2003)

Published: Nov. 3, 2023, 9:09 p.m.

It's hard to believe Kill Bill Volume 1 turns 20 this year! It's even harder to believe that Cole hasn't seen it yet!

In this special anniversary edition of "Late Screening", the guys look back on the first part of Quentin Tarantino's revenge masterpiece--in which Uma Thurman plays a former assassin hellbent on taking out her former squad and its mysterious, titular boss.

Ian and Cole get into heavy spoilers while talking about Kill Bill's attention-demanding techniques; its prototypical "Badass Female Lead"; and decades-old fanboy fantasies about what a once-rumored third installment might have held in store.

Also, Cole plays a futile game of "Which One is Bill?", and Ian makes a case for Tarantino as a master of homage (instead of a rip-off artist)! (Don't worry: We'll be back next year with a look at Volume 2!)
