Show Notes
This week we're heading all the way back to 1969 for Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.
Leonard and Guy discuss Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt’s on-screen chemistry, the film’s loving recreation of old Hollywood, and Tarantino’s playful blend of real history and fiction. There’s also the question at the heart of the movie: does its leisurely, nostalgic journey earn the bold alternate-history turn at the end?
So grab a can of Old Chattanooga and settle in for another episode of The Movie Guide.

More from The Movie Guide with Maltin & Davis
It's the biggest box-office flop of Tom Cruise's career and Leonard Maltin think that's totally justified! That's right, this week Maltin and Davis dig into Digger, Alejandro G. Iñárritu’s big, bizarre satire starring Cruise as an oil tycoon scrambling to prove he’s humanity’s saviour after disaster strikes.
Tom Cruise, a house full of trouble and one unforgettable dance in his socks - Risky Business has all the makings of an ’80s classic. Leonard Maltin and Guy Davis revisit Paul Brickman’s sharp, offbeat comedy, following high-schooler Joel Goodson’s wild detour from college-bound respectability into a very different kind of business.
Leonard and Guy step into the ring with Rocky, the scrappy 1976 sensation that turned Sylvester Stallone into a star and made underdogs everywhere believe they had a shot.
To celebrate its 30th anniversary, this week Leonard and Guy revisit The First Wives Club, exploring the film's themes of sisterhood and self-empowerment, the impact of its star-studded cast, and the cultural context of its release.
