11 Things We Learned From Quentin Tarantino On Joe Rogan Experience

11. QT Would Love To Work With Chevy Chase

During a talk about the movie business in the 1980s, Tarantino talks to Rogan about how it was a decade where so much of cinema was sanitised and had to have a happy ending.

As an example, QT talked up how much kinder critics were to the '80s films of Bill Murray in comparison to those of Chevy Chase.

In many a Murray movie of that time, his character would be a total d*ck for an hour, then see the error of his ways and become a better person during the final act. On the other hand, Chase's d*ckish characters usually remained a d*ck throughout the entire picture - with Tarantino proclaiming how Chevy "don't play that sh*t".

During this discussion, Quentin enthused about how he'd "love to" work with Chevy Chase at some point, going on to namedrop Chase's work in Fletch, Foul Play and on Saturday Night Live.

The larger point being made at this part of this JRE chat, was how the 1950s and '80s were the worst decades for film due to how few boundaries were being pushed.
