Kill Bill, Why People Hate Matthew Lillard (And Why They're Wrong) | Cult Pop Ep 154

We celebrate the 154th episode of Cult Pop with a deep dive into the blood-soaked world of Quentin Tarantino! After seeing Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair in theaters, we debate whether it's a masterpiece or just 4 hours of self-indulgent violence. Is the pacing better as two movies, or does the "whole bloody affair" justify its runtime? Plus, we discuss the internet's weird hatred for Matthew Lillard (leave Shaggy alone!), the cultural impact of Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs, and why some directors need to stop talking about actors.
