The Coen brothers take things that are normally banal features of everyday life, and they center plots around it. The main driving purpose of the butch narrative is all about the watch. That's why he goes back to the house,. shoots John Travolta, has the whole thing with Marcellus Wallace and Zed. And then, yeah, the rug is what gets him involved in this whole convoluted plot. It's all he really wants is his rug man.
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.
