Jackie Brown

If you had the chance to break out of the movie in which you are stuck, would you take it? That's the question that propels Jackie Brown--the person and the film. Join Mike and Dan as they talk about Jackie Brown (1997), which Mike calls Quentin Tarantino's best movie. Dan talks about what makes a terrific adaptation (and offers his nominee for most perfect adaptation in film history); Mike explains how the film gestures towards an era and a genre in order to one-up them; both of them marvel at the film's incredible ending. So load up that dummy shopping bag with paperback books, switch it for the one with 500K, and give it a listen! Interested in the Elmore Leonard novel that Tarantino used as the source? Find it here. You can also find Quentin Tarantino's recent book, Cinema Speculation, here.
