Pulp Faction: The Tarantino Generation

Siskel & Ebert (1995)

Season 9, Episode 35

This special episode of Siskel & Ebert is called "The Tarantino Generation" and it takes a look at the impact Quentin Tarantino had in just two movies. The critics take a look at RESERVOIR DOGS as well as the recently released PULP FICTION. The main point of this episode is to talk about how Tarantino has changed the rules of Hollywood and screenwriting and you know what, it turns out they were correct and here we are twenty-three years later and there's still a Tarantino effect going on. For the most part this is a pretty good episode that gives you a good look at the director's first two films and there's also a brief interview with Samuel L. Jackson. The violence of the film is discussed as well as what the critics would like to see him do going forward.
