Tarantino, scalps, and strudel. This week on Born to Watch, we’re diving headfirst into the stylish, savage, and wildly satisfying WWII fantasy that is Inglourious Basterds (2009). From the slow-burn brilliance of the opening scene to Brad Pitt’s Southern twang and Christoph Waltz’s Oscar-winning menace, we break down every moment…
Inglourious Basterds is full of shocking moments but could the introduction to the Bear Jew be is most shocking. Eli Roth shows such menace and the patience in building the terror in the scene is incredible.

The Bodyguard was a SMASH HIT in 1992, but would the movie have worked if some questionable decisions hadn't been made by Rachel Marron's entourage?? Damo questions whether one of the acts against Rachel is even a crime. Obviously, it's all in good fun.
