200 - Pt. 2 - Kill Bill: Volume 2 (RT)

Perhaps it’s a blessing in disguise that Quentin Tarantino was forced to split KILL BILL in two, since it’s hard to imagine both volumes holding together as a single movie - and some would argue they barely hold together as a two-parter. Is that an actual concern when it comes to appreciating Volume 2? Alex, Julio, and Chas have different experiences (with overlaps) when it comes to the second half of The Bride’s journey, and you get to hear all about them here. Who likes Esteban? Who hates Esteban? The answers lie in this Real Talk segment! Oh yeah, and happy 200th to us!
