Episode 167: The Big Lebowski vs Pulp Fiction (Pt. 1)
Very Bad Wizards
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 โ and then go deep into the themes, performances, and philosophy of Tarantinoโs iconic 90s classic Pulp Fiction. Whatโs 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.
