Two Man Tarantino 2023
This whirlwind tour of the director's films will get your curiosity and your attention.
Overview
Everybody, be cool. This isn't a robbery — but it is a raucous rush through the filmography of one of the most distinctive directors of the past three decades. Two Man Tarantino is exactly what it sounds like, with two people hopping up on stage to re-enact diamond heists, twist dancing contests, blowing up bad guys, hunting down the hateful and more.
Running Wednesday–Sunday between Wednesday, May 17–Sunday, May 28 as part of the 2023 Brisbane Comedy Festival, it's a 70-minute-long recreation that also has the perfect framing device: it's set in a video store. Everyone knows that's where Quentin Tarantino's love of movies blossomed long before he was asking Samuel L Jackson to wax lyrical about royales with cheese — and revisiting the kind of shop that has died out in recent years is also part of the fun.
Two Man Tarantino first hit up Brisbane a couple of years ago, then returned in 2021, and now it's back for a return season because it's that popular. Get ready to fly, folks.
