About this listen

How does a screenwriter reuse ideas from older films while still maintaining a cohesive and distinctive style? Our hosts seek tutelage from one of contemporary cinema's best directors at reinterpreting influences when they examine the two volumes of Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill. They discuss whether it is a writer's duty to make the audience despise the villains as much as possible in a revenge tale, contemplate the trade-offs between building mystery versus providing backstory, ask if the protagonist was written to be as empathetic as she could be, and evaluate the effectiveness of the stylistic genre shifting between the two volumes. They then put their training to the test by incorporating genres, sequences, and characters from older, lesser-known exploitation films, as well as grapple with the challenge of structuring a story in non-chronological chapters, when they pitch their own ideas for Kill Bill volume 3!
