- That Quentin Tarantino Movie. No, Not Pulp Fiction, the One With Leo. No Not Django. The One With All the Murders–– You Know What, It Doesn’t Matter.
- MY VOTE: Parasite AND Little Women
The writer’s decision to back not one but two nominees is a significant break with convention, one that is meant to address the “realist” and “radical” models being presented to voters by the 2020 Academy Awards. While arguing that Quentin Tarantino must be defeated, the writer does not take a position on the best path forward for movie-goers, writing that both films “warrant serious consideration.”
