About this listen
This week on Chain Link Theater, we follow the chain from awkward side characters and scene-stealing weirdos straight into a warehouse full of black suits, thin ties, and very bad decisions. We’re tracking Steve Buscemi, an actor who built an entire career out of feeling slightly off, as he barrels headfirst into Quentin Tarantino’s debut pressure cooker, Reservoir Dogs.
We talk about how Buscemi carved out a lane no one else could occupy, and how he became one of the most recognizable faces of ’90s independent cinema without ever trying to be cool.
Then we crack open Reservoir Dogs itself: the low-budget miracle, the Sundance walkouts, and the movie that announced a new voice in American filmmaking with profanity, pop music, and blood-soaked confidence. We break down the film’s structure, its razor-sharp dialogue, the ensemble chemistry, and why a movie with no heist, no heroes, and no mercy still rewired crime movies overnight.
Put on your black suit, don’t ask about the diamonds, and maybe stop arguing about tipping—because this week, Chain Link Theater is bleeding out in a warehouse and loving every second of it.
