Quentin Tarantino's blood-soaked martial arts epic gets the full Born to Watch treatment as Whitey, Dan, and Will \"The Worky\" dive headfirst into samurai swords, anime flashbacks, outrageous violence, feet discourse, and the pure chaos of Tarantino at his most indulgent. \nFrom the very beginning, the episode feels like a celebration.

The guys go on hilarious tangents about actor-musicians, Russell Crowe's band, Steven Seagal blues music, David Carradine's infamous death, and whether Bill has slept with every member of the Deadly Viper squad. It’s the kind of completely unhinged movie conversation only this podcast can...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/UW701-GqukZr-1D14eBt8sR44lYKfmwl9ME2kRN8CZI/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzI5NzkzLzE2NTQ0/ODExODMtYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
