In episode #009 of Flixwatcher podcast guests, Dave from Fortitude Magazine and Josh from Footbalistically Arsenal return, this time to discuss the Quentin Tarantino modern masterpiece Pulp Fiction.
Unbelievably there are people in the world that haven’t seen Pulp Fiction! Dave hadn’t, so it was his choice and we thank him for it.
Tarantino’s Palme d’Or winning second film made in 1994 famed for its groundbreaking non-linear narrative, the bromance between Samuel L Jackson and dazzling script impressed the first-time watcher Dave and was a more than welcome re-watch for Josh, Helen and Kobi.
With so many great moments there was much to discuss, the watch, the $5 milkshake, the star-studded cameos, that soundtrack and what is in that briefcase? No one was more happy to revisit this postmodern 90s classic than Helen who praised Tarantino for his strong female characters and the timeless quality of the film.

Despite quibbles on our unique scoring system (recommendability is a word?!), watching it on his 47″ TV Dave scored Pulp Fiction highly on its repeat viewing, apparently, you have to keep watching until you die to fully understand it all. Kobi lists it as being in his Top 5 Films (we’ll be keeping an eye out for other entries) and we all recommend it.
If you haven’t seen Pulp Fiction – stop reading this and go watch it, now! Go, go, go…! Please do come back and listen to this episode though!
