Inglourious Basterds with Marty Benson - Director of Content (Melbourne) for Endemol Shine Australia

This week we review the 2009 war film Inglourious Basterds written and directed by Quentin Tarantino, starring Brad Pitt, Christoph Waltz, Michael Fassbender, Eli Roth, Diane Kruger, Daniel Brühl, Til Schweiger and Mélanie Laurent.

The film tells an alternate history story of two converging plots to assassinate Nazi Germany's leadership at a Paris cinema—one through a British operation largely carried out by a team of Jewish American soldiers led by First Lieutenant Aldo Raine (Pitt), and another by French Jewish cinema proprietor Shosanna Dreyfus (Laurent) who seeks to avenge her murdered family.

Both are faced against Hans Landa (Waltz), an SS colonel with a fearsome reputation for hunting Jews.

We are delighted to welcome back to the studio Marty Benson. Marty is currently Director of Content for Melbourne for EndemolShine. Endemol Shine Australia is a part of Banijay, the world’s largest international TV and media content producer in the Southern Hemisphere.

If you haven't listened check out our fascinating interview with him where he takes us behind the scenes of some of Australia's biggest shows (think MAFS, Masterchef and I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here).

We deep dive into the food scenes, the sound effects and the attention to detail in each scene.

Marty talks to us about the pacing of a movie - particularly that 'bat scene'.  We go through each of Tarantino's movies and rate them out of 10.
