Episode 70: - Once Upon a Time in Hollywood

This week in Movie News, Disney smashes it's own box office record and we're only halfway through the year! Also, Quentin Tarantino's new film Once Upon a Time in Hollywood does pretty well at a $40 million opening, but it still can't hold a candle to last week's The Lion King. Film critics may turn their nose up at the numbers, but maybe there's more to this story than an R-Rating versus a children's film!

Moving into reviews, this week Andy and Zach devote the entire show to the nearly three-hour Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, a film that sees the return of Leonardo DiCaprio to the silver screen alongside his trusty stuntman Brad Pitt. Audiences can expect to find a different kind of Tarantino in his 9th film, but you'll have to tune in to hear what exactly you'll find inside his mythical 1969 Hollywood. One things for sure - if you're not normally a Tarantino fan, you may want to give Once Upon another look. It may just be the film you're looking for.

Finally, the guys go all-in on the Tarantino-fest by reviewing a recent article out of The Hollywood Reporter about violence as a punchline in Tarantino films - specifically, violence against women. Obviously it's not something to condone, but is it just a passing trend in Tarantino's films, or an ongoing theme? Why have it at all, really? And just what's the point? Tune in to find out!
