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

1:11.4

For me, the inclusion of a, you know, a chapter on Toby Hooper, the what if surrounding taxi

1:16.4

1:20.9

the fact that this might be as close as we'll have for another year or so to connection to his
