Overview

In Nazi-occupied France during World War II, a group of Jewish-American soldiers known as "The Basterds" are chosen specifically to spread fear throughout the Third Reich by scalping and brutally killing Nazis. The Basterds, lead by Lt. Aldo Raine soon cross paths with a French-Jewish teenage girl who runs a movie theater in Paris which is targeted by the soldiers.

They're not in the prisoner-takin' business; they're in the Nazi-killin' business.  Join your favourite TransAtlantic podcasting crew: Ian, Liam, Ethan, and Georgia as we're heading to Nazi-occupied France courtesty of BFF of the BFE, Juleen. We're looking to pay off our debt of 100 scalps in our 137th episode as we discuss:

  • Lists of first thoughts for the roles of Hans Landa, Donny Donowitz, and Archie Hicox
  • Why is the Netflix logo for IB different from the one on the movie poster
  • We talk about how this film has not only 1 but 2 all-time great scenes in it
  • There's a great deal of debate about consent in film and how real is too real
  • Why does Landa let Shoshanna go when he could kill her so easily in Act I?
  • Is this the best Quentin Tarantino ever?
  • Juleen joins us fresh from a trip to NYC where she was doing a cityblog for Mom Is Always Write Media
  • Why does QT always have to work the n word into his script in some way?
  • How do you count to 3 on your fingers?  We compare.
  • Whether or not Inglourious Basterds is the Best Film Ever
