It’s our spoiler filled review of Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood. We break down the plot, analyze the script, debate the themes, and try to get inside the mind & the metaphors of one of cinema’s best filmmakers. This was a big one.

He fills his movies with homages, easter eggs, and connections to what’s been called the Tarantino-Verse. His plots bend over backwards to keep the audience guessing, his characters seem to reveal an endless number of dimensions from their first moments on screen all the way through the mid-credit scenes, and he infuses personal touches throughout the film from the cars to the costumes. Tarantino films are dense, and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood was no exception. So like the man himself, we also felt compelled to break it ALL down, run time be damned. This was a humongous episode of Mike, Mike, and Oscar. Consume it in one long sitting, or enjoy it in several. However you listen, we hope to give you your movie talk fix, and then some. After consuming the vast majority of other reviews, whether in written form, on youtube, or podcasted, we’re proud to bring you many takes you won’t find anywhere else. The format is simple:, MMO Theater performs a scene, and then we discuss all our best scenes in the Trademark Tarantino segment, where we outline the classic, underrated, and the innovative. We have an animated presentation of the worst scenes, and then we close with segments unique to this series. There’s screenwriting advice from QT himself. We break down more homages we couldn’t talk about in non-spoilers, discover baskets worth of easter eggs, and we outline the many connections to the Tarantino-Verse. If you enjoyed this episode, then you’re probably someone we’d want for a friend. (Call us. Let’s hang out.) But you’d also probably enjoy the rest of this series where we broke down each of Quentin’s previous films. We’ve also broken down all the Oscar chances for OUATIH in every category in Part 1 of this review. We’re at MMandOscar on Twitter, and we are on Instagram, Facebook, Reddit, and Gmail.
