'Reservoir Dogs' from 1993. Blood, Guns, Severed Ears and Masculinity in the '90's.

Greetings from PG Towers! Join social historian Dr Lee Arnott and TV Producer Dave Moor for a lighthearted look at the world of TV,  Film and Popular Culture from yesteryear. This week we take a look at Quentin Tarantino's directorial debut Reservoir Dogs (released in the UK in January 1993).  Controversial upon its original release for its ultra-violent style and bad language, what can this film tell us about the portrayal of masculinity in movies? Did you see the cops ear getting cut off? Think again! And what happens when a tricky actor walks onto set?You can watch Reservoir Dogs on Netflix in the UK.Click here to follow us on all our socialsPlease leave us a review wherever you get your podcasts.
