"Dancing with Wolves" , "Robin Hood" from 1991 and "No Way Out" from 1987, "The Fabolous Baker Boys" from 1989 ... But the Main Part is Top Gun and Rambo 2

I see your point and agree that the ending becomes more heart breaking the more you know. But since this is presented as a sorta fairy tale, I would honestly want to see people’s reaction to the film if they had no prior knowledge of the horrific events of August 8/9, 1969. Because once you know, you know.

I once caught my parents chatting and eating spaghetti for dinner in front of the TV. They were watching an operation show about some guy getting a tumor removed that showed the surgery. I stood there for a few seconds, and when they looked at me like WTF, I just said "Did it have to be fucking spaghetti?" and just went to my room. I have monster genes.

To make a long story short: The Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan and occupied it during most of the 80s. The US provided weapons, training and resources for a lot of those fighting the Soviets. While not always directly, some of the fighters we provided support for would later go on to form Al Qaeda.

The tagline for RAMBO (2008) should have been “Think you’ve seen gun violence? Well…you haven’t “

HARD DISAGREE regarding prior knowledge of the Manson Family. The ENTIRE POINT of ONCE UPON A TIME…IN HOLLYWOOD hinges on the viewer’s familiarity with those events. The movie cannot be appreciated as intended unless you know why Tarantino makes the choices he does.

I’ll back you up, Tostito. OUATIH is the best Brad Pitt’s ever been.

Totally agree, this is Pitt's best bit of acting.

I appreciate the thought, but it’s a 12 episode series that’s about 8-10 hours long. 🤣

Agreed! It's a fantastic film and for those of us, ahem, who are a little older it was like getting in a time machine!!!

I watched the entire series in its original run, but grew to despise many of the characters by the end. But everything is subjective. I wish u the best enjoyment of the series 😁

We haven't yet! We've been reading up over the last day on Manson and Tate, but if we have some extra time, we'll definitely check out the podcast! I would say while we have dinner tonight, but idk if that sounds like a good dinner listening!

Am I nuts to say it's Brad Pitt's best role? Not in a Oscar winning, single tear rolling down his cheek kind of way. But just in so far as "Have I ever liked Brad Pitt in something more than this?". Maybe Tyler Durden.

Also, if you really want a fresh experience, don’t read anything about Charles Manson until after the movie.

Once Upon a Time in…Hollywood is exquisite. One of the best films to come out in recent years. It made me laugh, cry, and even one scene was scary as hell. You’ll know it when you experience it. Quentin is that kind of director.
Robert Boyd
2022-09-19 06:55:04 +0000 UTC
Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is one of my favorite movies to watch people react to just because of how nuanced it is, but also, just hilarious, probably Tarantino's funniest movie.

Chris Bruneau

And after you see Top Gun and Rambo III, you can finally react to Hot Shots 1 & 2. Maybe even finish off the Naked Gun films for no reason.
Guston Zimasheen
2022-09-18 16:39:13 +0000 UTC
I’m assuming you already recorded the reaction to Once Upon a Time…in Hollywood, but if for some reason you haven’t, you should binge Karina Longworth’s ‘You Must Remember This’ podcast series on The Manson Family before you watch the movie. It will help add so much context to all the key players, and give you some background knowledge that Tarantino assumed you already have.
Jarrod Hornbeck
2022-09-18 12:47:04 +0000 UTC
Niiiiiiice! Rambo III: like Rambo II, but not quite so grim! Honestly, I'm most stoked for the 2008 Rambo, which is in my opinion the best of the series. (And, yes, easily the most grim.)
Steven Montano
2022-09-18 12:28:08 +0000 UTC
YES! Keep those Sopranos coming!
So far as feature film, I really, really hope you will dig into most everything the Coen brothers have done. If you haven’t watched it yet, ‘Blood Simple’ is hard to beat, and it was their FIRST film. One of the best first efforts in directorial history. Not to mention, it’s Frances McDormand’s debut performance.

Ahh yes, 'Rambo III' or 'How we kinda helped create Al Qaeda'.
Jeffrey Miller

I'm glad y'all are going all the way with "Rambo" (although I think the "Rocky" franchise is infinitely superior). And the final "Rambo" film (supposedly) is excellent. Anyway, there are certain similarities in the historical/cultural eras the movies represent. "Rocky IV" and "Rambo III" were both made during the late 80s, and that's the era in which the stories unfold. Rambo's task in "III" is very ironic, to say the least!

Rambo III is not the best Rambo but these 3 final Rambo are going to give you a sense of who he is and what he fights for after the war. And yes after this they get far more brutal.
