Comparing Quentin Tarantino And Pulp Fiction

Quentin Tarantino is an acquired taste – or at least his films tend to be. They’re typically violent in nature, though often brilliantly casted (and acted) – and rarely come without controversial moments.

In tern, let me just say that plenty of Tarantino's die-hard follows will make the case that The Hateful Eight is his best picture to
