After his longest break between movies to date, Quentin Tarantino delivered a samurai epic while trying to crack the script for another epic,&nbsp;<em>Inglourious Basterds<\/em>. That ultraviolent actioner,&nbsp;<em>Kill Bill<\/em>, would also reunite Tarantino with his&nbsp;<em>Pulp Fiction<\/em>&nbsp;star Uma Thurman, given a major showcase as an unnamed blood soaked bride bent on vengeance. But Tarantino made so much movie, it had to be split into two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Vol. 1<\/em>&nbsp;arrived in 2003 and became a sizable hit, wild mild critical praise that didn&#8217;t quite know what to do with its non-stop violence, time-hopping structure, and incomplete narrative arc. This episode, we talk about&nbsp;<em>Kill Bill &#8211; Vol. 1<\/em>&#8216;s excellent female ensemble, its triumph at the MTV Movie Awards, and the all-timer needle drop &#8220;Battle Without Honor or Humanity&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Topics also include first experiencing the film&#8217;s cliffhanger, its strong performance at BAFTA, and early aughts trailer descriptions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Follow Us on Twitter!<br><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Had_Oscar_Buzz\">@Had_Oscar_Buzz<\/a><br>Joe: <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/joereid\">@joereid<\/a><br>Chris: <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/chrisvfeil\">@chrisvfeil<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"powerpress_player\" id=\"powerpress_player_1049\"><audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-1004-1\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"https:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/3563080\/fightinginthewarroom.com\/THOB\/EP\/THOB_EP_257_Kill_Bill_Vol_1.mp3?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/3563080\/fightinginthewarroom.com\/THOB\/EP\/THOB_EP_257_Kill_Bill_Vol_1.mp3\">https:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/3563080\/fightinginthewarroom.com\/THOB\/EP\/THOB_EP_257_Kill_Bill_Vol_1.mp3<\/a><\/audio><\/div><p class=\"powerpress_links powerpress_links_mp3\" style=\"margin-bottom: 1px !important;\">Podcast: <a href=\"https:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/3563080\/fightinginthewarroom.com\/THOB\/EP\/THOB_EP_257_Kill_Bill_Vol_1.mp3\" class=\"powerpress_link_pinw\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Play in new window\" onclick=\"return powerpress_pinw('https:\/\/fightinginthewarroom.com\/THOB\/?powerpress_pinw=1004-podcast');\" rel=\"nofollow\">Play in new window<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/3563080\/fightinginthewarroom.com\/THOB\/EP\/THOB_EP_257_Kill_Bill_Vol_1.mp3\" class=\"powerpress_link_d\" title=\"Download\" rel=\"nofollow\" download=\"THOB_EP_257_Kill_Bill_Vol_1.mp3\">Download<\/a><\/p><p class=\"powerpress_links powerpress_subscribe_links\">Subscribe: <a href=\"https:\/\/fightinginthewarroom.com\/THOB\/feed\/podcast\/\" class=\"powerpress_link_subscribe powerpress_link_subscribe_rss\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Subscribe via RSS\" rel=\"nofollow\">RSS<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We&#8217;re here celebrating a 20th anniversary for a beloved film this week, listeners!
