Pulp Fiction

Tar-an-tino-ism n. 1 a self-indulgent, protracted conversation, usually on a topic no one cares about, with copious amounts of swearing and racial epithets between two or more characters in a film directed by Quentin Tarantino. Tarantionisms are generally pretty popular, many would argue that they’re what make his movies so enjoyable, so it’s no surprise that Pulp Fiction, Tarantino’s 1994 classic, is frequently cited as his greatest achievement, drowning as it is in Tarantinoisms. Pulp Fiction is stylish and sleek in a very grimy kind of way, a throwback to the lurid grindhouse movies of yesteryear that has endeared itself to many a college film student, but the Magellans at the Movies never went to film school they went to films, which might explain why they’re more lukewarm on this cultural touchstone. Whatever the reason for their edginess, the Magellans are back and ready to alienate even more of their rapidly dwindling audience so let’s get this over with so I can find another job that doesn’t pay me in off brand chocolate bars. Go!
