0:00.0 | IDSG bonus episodes are a regular extra just for Patreon backers of myself or Daniel. Here's a |
0:06.4 | preview of the new one. I remember at the time it came out there was a review in one of the sort of |
0:14.0 | high-end movie magazines. I can't remember if it was Empire or Premiere, one of those. I think it |
0:19.2 | was Premiere, which gave this a very, very good review, very, you know, Lord of Tree review. |
0:26.1 | And I remember this, I always remember this for some reason. It contrasted this movie very |
0:32.8 | specifically with Tarantino. I remember it took a very, it took a stance like it kind of almost said, |
0:38.6 | you know, this is a direct repost to Quentin Tarantino, you know, like a moral repost to Tarantino's |
0:45.6 | moral, moral ambivalence, moral nihilism and stuff like that. And you know, I can't help thinking |

1:25.6 | point? Yeah, I think this review was specifically, you know, like it was, I think if I remember it |
1:30.4 | rightly, it was specifically calling seven, like a moral repost to Pulp Fiction. Yeah. |
1:36.0 | So seven, the film that ends with our lead, you know, wisdom old man and the serial killer, |
1:44.0 | the titular serial killer, agreeing fundamentally about the philosophies of life, |
1:49.6 | contrasts favorably morally to the film in which the lead character discovers religion |
1:58.1 | after it's experiencing a what he believes to be a miracle and leaving a life of crime. |
2:05.5 | Like that's the plot of Pulp Fiction. Like I understand that like, you know, people don't |
2:14.6 | understand how movies work, but that's what really don't do that. That's literally like the plot. |
