“This gun says you live, this gun says you die.”  Join Ian & Liam for our 295th episode as we step into Tarantino’s world of money drops, double-crosses, and smooth soul soundtracks with Jackie Brown (1997). Kev? He’s running a cash pickup at the mall but got distracted by an Orange Julius. Megs? She’s busy cutting a deal with Ordell Robbie that may or may not involve a new handbag.
But don’t worry—we’re not flying solo. We’re joined by BFF of the BFE: Shai Bergerfroind, who slipped us a cassette tape of Delfonics tunes and insisted this was the Tarantino film to talk about.
This week we discuss:
<ul>
<li>How Jackie Brown might be Tarantino’s most mature film—and why it doesn’t get the same love as Pulp Fiction.</li>
<li>Pam Grier’s powerhouse performance: is this one of the greatest star comebacks in cinema history?</li>
<li>Robert De Niro as the quietest ex-con ever—and how a single scene changes everything.</li>
<li>Samuel L. Jackson’s Ordell: terrifying or hilarious, or both at once?</li>
<li>Is this the most “realistic” Tarantino film? And does that make it better or just slower?</li>
<li>Ian and Liam debate whether this film is about survival, romance, or just getting by.</li>
<li>Shai drops in to explain why the soundtrack is the real star of the film (and why he’s been humming Delfonics all week).</li>
<li>Which scenes had us holding our breath—and which ones could’ve been trimmed.</li>
<li>Why Max Cherry might be Tarantino’s most underrated character—and how Robert Forster’s quiet dignity steals the show.</li>
<li>And finally, whether Jackie Brown is the Best Film Ever—or just the coolest hangout movie you forgot you loved.</li>
</ul>
