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. Uh, Tarantino apparently has this story he tells about writing the script and |
0:11.7 | he gets to a point where he can't, he writes himself into a corner and he can't figure out what to do |
0:16.4 | so he just says, oh, I'll, I'll kill Hitler. Well, I'm sorry, I don't believe that. Yeah. Yeah, that |
0:21.6 | that's, that's kind of story. The charity, you know, uh, tells when he doesn't want to tell the real |
0:26.0 | story. Yeah. Yeah. Sorry. I don't believe that one day, one, one day we will learn. Yeah. |
0:33.0 | One day, you know, uh, you know, he's in his 60s now. Uh, he will retire one day and he will write |
0:39.1 | memoirs and I will read through every fucking page of that. Um, sure. Uh, what it suggests to me |
0:46.4 | really is a subversion of, as you say, it's marketed in America as a, as a Brad Pitt war movie, |

1:08.2 | I think it's got a furrier or something. You could put like screenshots from that, from the ads |
1:13.9 | from that and screenshots from the ads for employers bastards side by side and not tell which movie |
1:19.6 | was which. Yeah. But the film internally subverts that while it is completely on the side of |
1:26.6 | the bastards, as I say, it's uncompromising in its support for their quite horrific violence |
1:31.5 | because ultimately, you know, everybody they attack is a fucking Nazi. So the, the film doesn't, |
1:37.0 | there's no, I never felt the slightest bit moralized at any stage like, you know, |
1:42.8 | oh, isn't war terrible. Look at the, it never does that. The closest it gets I suppose is, |
1:48.1 | is with the, the young soldier in the, in the, in the, in the beer seller who's, who's just, |
1:52.8 | yeah, I was going to say, Maximilian's dad is probably the, the, the one, you know, |
1:57.1 | but even, even he, I mean, he's shown to kill the waitress in the bar. Yeah. |
