0:00.0 | Quentin Tarantino's New York Times best-selling book, Cinema Speculation, is now available in paperback. |
0:06.4 | This deliriously entertaining, wickedly intelligent cinema book is as unique and creative as anything by Quentin Tarantino. |
0:13.6 | The New York Times Book Review calls the book punchy, smart, and surprising. |
0:17.5 | And author Brady Sinalis Raves, it's a total delight from start to finish. |
0:21.2 | Yeah, I mean, we love the book. Obviously, we've talked about it on the show before. I think for me, |
0:25.9 | one of the most striking things about it is the personal asides that he has chosen to include in the |
0:33.3 | book about growing up and living with his mom and the movies he watched with her and her |
0:37.7 | boyfriends and also specifically his tribute to Floyd Ray Wilson and how that guy really helped |

1:11.4 | For me, the inclusion of a, you know, a chapter on Toby Hooper, the what if surrounding taxi |
1:16.4 | drive from Brian De Palma. And just, as you said, those early cinema going experiences. And also |
1:20.9 | the fact that this might be as close as we'll have for another year or so to connection to his |
1:26.3 | next film, the movie critic. |
1:27.8 | Obviously, there's some DNA that will probably be running through these types of running. |
1:32.0 | So these are just some of the reasons we highly recommend picking up this paperback. |
1:35.5 | Absolutely. |
