Ep. 3 - Hateful 8

In this episode of "Theater Cleaners," Todd and Dom discuss Quentin Tarantino's 2015 Western film "The Hateful 8"
The film follows a group of strangers, including a bounty hunter (played by Samuel L. Jackson) and a Confederate soldier (played by Walton Goggins), who seek refuge from a blizzard in a remote cabin in Wyoming. As tensions rise and secrets are revealed, the strangers find themselves embroiled in a deadly game of survival.
Todd and Dom analyze the film's unique structure, with its use of chapter breaks and non-linear storytelling, and examine Tarantino's signature style of dialogue-heavy scenes and graphic violence. They discuss the film's themes of justice, revenge, and racism, and how they relate to the larger context of Tarantino's filmography.
They also explore the film's stunning cinematography and score, and discuss the impressive performances of the ensemble cast, which includes Kurt Russell, Jennifer Jason Leigh, and Tim Roth. They examine the film's connections to other Westerns and Tarantino's influences, and debate its place in the director's filmography.
Join Todd and Dom as they reflect on "The Hateful Eight" and explore why it remains a divisive but fascinating addition to Tarantino's body of work.
