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 of Tarantino’s blood-soaked rewrite of history. Expect chaos, trivia, and Whitey’s one-degree-of-separation flex after bumping into QT himself at the Sydney premiere.

Christoph Waltz’s performance as the perfect villain
