Making Tarantino: The Podcast

A weekly podcast where me, Phillip, and and a different guest go through a huge list of movies that Quentin Tarantino likes or recommends. I like all movies.

Miss Greta Thyssen barely able to contain her joy. ...

The former Miss Denmark came to Hollywood and was Marilyn Monroe's body double in "Bus Stop", and became a familiar face in cult films, including "The Beast of Budapest", "Terror Is a Man" and "Journey to the Seventh Planet".............

The River stars Mad Max and Carrie.
Part of 1984’s farm trilogy w/ Places in the Heart and Country.🤠
Scotty Glenn is the bad guy.
Audiences prefer Mel as a failing farmer rather than a cop-on-the-edge.

Had a blast directing Stacy on Man With the Screaming Brain back in the day. For a serious actor, he was very funny and charming. Safe travels, sir.

Olivia Munn says that when she brought lunch to Brett Ratner's trailer on a movie set in 2004, the Rush Hour director masturbated in front of her. She wrote about it in a 2010 book without his name. The next year he went on TV and said he had "banged her a few times." Days later, on Howard Stern's radio show, he admitted that was a lie. Two years after that, a company he co-founded signed a $450 million financing deal with Warner Bros.

The TV show where he said it was Attack of the Show. Munn used to host it.

In the video below, she tells Entertainment Tonight: "He admitted that he lied about all the things that he said about me. And then just a few years later he gets this huge, you know, a few hundred million dollar financing deal with Warner Brothers."

In 2017 the Los Angeles Times published her story and five other women's. Natasha Henstridge, star of Species, said that when she was 19 he blocked the door of his New York apartment and forced her into oral sex.

His lawyer told the paper that Munn and Ratner had been in an intimate relationship. She called that a lie.

"No woman has ever requested or received any financial settlement from my client," the lawyer, Martin Singer, said in November 2017.

Ratner denies all of it. In January his first film since the accusations, a documentary called Melania, came out. Amazon reportedly paid $40 million for it.

Munn never asked him for money and never worked with him. He went on to a $450 million deal with one studio and a $40 million film at another.

If you ran Amazon, would you have paid $40 million for his film?

Roy Scheider went after the role of Dr Benway in Naked Lunch.
He torched his ultra-masculine tough-guy image, fully surrendered to David Cronenberg’s weirdness, delivered an ice-cold performance, and left audiences stunned.
It's the forgotten Scheider role.

Sad to find out that Stacy Keach passed away from heart failure at the age of 85. RIP.

A film that feels like it was invented in a lab specifically for me. A Shaw Brothers gun-fu Spaghetti Eastern. Shamelessly over the top, Lo Lieh totes a Mauser and bags an insane body count to the tune of Morricone's Once Upon A Time in the West score. (1/2)

Enjoy ‘Market Mayhem’ for @applepay !

I had a ton of fun making this and paying homage to my Hong Kong heroes, Mr Jackie Chan in particular. Working with this great crew and exceptionally talented cast was a riot, as you’ll see!

The IMAX opening intro for ‘GODZILLA MINUS ZERO’ has been released online.

At 19, Evan Rachel Wood starred in 38-year-old Marilyn Manson's music video for "Heart-Shaped Glasses." She says he fed her absinthe and had sex with her for real in front of the crew.

Years later, after she named him publicly, Manson sued her for defamation. He ended up dropping his own lawsuit and paying over $300,000 for her lawyers.

In the video below, she tells it herself, starting with the shoot.

They met at the Chateau Marmont when she was 18 and he was 37, still married to Dita Von Teese.

On the music video set, she was the youngest person in the room. There was no nudity clause and no closed set. She didn't think her clothes were coming off that day.

Before the cameras rolled, she was given absinthe. Someone on set later told her Manson had privately asked wardrobe for underwear that could be easily ripped off.

When the scene started, she froze.

"His hands are around my neck. His face is pressed into my face. Even if I wanted to say no, I couldn't say no."

The video has been watched tens of millions of times. It is still up on YouTube.

At home, whenever Manson put on his stage makeup, she knew he would trash the house. She locked herself in the bathroom so often that she strung lights and put music inside. Once, she ducked as he swung a heavy cane at her head. It hit the doorframe beside her and snapped in half.

She tried to leave seven times before it stuck.

In 2021, at the peak of her run on HBO's Westworld, she named him on Instagram. Manson sued her for defamation and fraud.

After a judge threw out most of his claims, Manson offered to pay her a settlement to end his own case.

She refused to take a cent for herself. She demanded only the $300,000 she had spent on legal fees, and rejected his gag order that would have banned her from speaking about him again.

"You're not taking one more thing from me, and you'll never have my voice."

He paid her legal bill and walked away.

People still ask what she expected dating Marilyn Manson at 18. Why does nobody ask what a 37-year-old man expected when the cameras were rolling?
