New REVIEWS AND OTHERWISE: Quentin Tarantino’s ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD—movie, book, virtual theme park?

 This stream-of-consciousness bonus episode looks at Quentin Tarantino’s (perhaps) next-to-last film, which (at least in Los Angeles) has repeat viewers (one person has seen it eight times so far) and other QT fans awaiting the expanded mass market paperback novel coming soon to a bookstore, newsstand and/or supermarket.  

So here’s 20 minutes of words about Tarantino’s equivalent to James Cameron’s TITANIC—plus a brief argument for DEATH PROOF as QT’s woke, anti-misogyny film.
