Pulp Fiction leaves a lot of open-ended questions. In my mind, Pulp Fiction is this world that I could explore. You could just go talk to those guys to figure out what the party was at. It makes you fill in an entire world. The only analogy that I can think of is when you were a kid in video games and there were only sidescrolling and the world was very constrained. Then these video games came out where you could go wherever you want.
There are only two kinds of people in the world, Pulp Fiction people and Big Lebowski people. Now Pulp Fiction people can like Big Lebowski and vice versa, but nobody likes them both equally. Somewhere you have to make a choice. And that choice tells you who you are.
In the first episode of this two-parter, David and Tamler make that choice – and then go deep into the themes, performances, and philosophy of Tarantino’s iconic 90s classic Pulp Fiction. What’s the meaning of a foot massage? What counts as a miracle? Is failing to disregard your own feces a sufficient condition for a filthy animal? We have a lots to talk about, and time is short. So pretty please, with sugar on top, listen to the fucking episode.
