Monday, August 2, 2021 • Duration 32:37

Quentin Tarantino's Once Upon a Time in Hollywood continues to inspire enthusiastic discussion between us.

Naturally, the talk will inevitably turn to its musical soundtrack.

This film is scored entirely with pop songs from the mid to late sixties, along with orchestral excerpts from other films, such Alfred Hitchcock's Torn Curtain.

Bernard Herrmann's score was shelved because of a falling out between director and composer.

Tarantino's inclusion of the forgotten score brings needed attention to a singularly talented film composer.

This episode will examine the ways Tarantino uses pop music to advance narrative.

We'll also discuss how this film had such a deeply felt impact on us.

Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is a movie which reveals additional layers with each viewing.
