From KCRW, Santa Monica and KCRW.com, this is The Treatment.

Welcome to the treatment, which you can also hear at KCRW.com. 20 years ago, a little film called Reservoir Dogs

scared people to death and excited them

and drew them to movie theaters

and changed an art form.

In the intervening years,

my guest, writer, director,

sometimes actor, Quentin Tarantino,

has made films such as,

shall we go over them, Quentin?

Please, prepare free.

Well, we'll go, let's say, there's Pulp Fiction, Four Rooms, Jackie Brown, a little two-parter

called Kill Bill Part One and Part Two, Death Proof, Inglorious Bastards, the last time you

were here, and your most recent film is Django Unchained.

One of the things, before we get into Django,

I wrote a piece recently for a magazine that plays very much

in what all the movies have been,

but Django in particular about how food is used for power in your movies.

Well, you know, it's actually funny.

It was, I think when Edgar Wright read the script for Inglorious Basters,

he goes, well, one of the things that I loved is the way you have the Nazis just luxuriating in these French restaurants, like they're just gluttons with their patte and their creme brulee.

And, yeah, no, it's funny, though, because I don't actually think I would have written, in the case of, like, say, this movie, one of the things is Calvin Candy.
