Lets shine some light on Jackie Brown—a Quentin Tarantino gem that might not be the most talked-about in his filmography, but definitely deserves a spot in the conversation. As part of our Summer of Sam playlist, we couldn’t skip this excellent Sam Jackson performance.

Jackie Brown brings together a fantastic and unexpected mix of actors—Pam Grier, Robert Forster, Bridget Fonda, Robert De Niro, Michael Keaton—and it’s rare to see this ensemble sharing the screen anywhere else. The movie’s cool, deliberate vibe is paired with a killer soundtrack that’s pure Tarantino style. It’s a crime story with heart, slick dialogue, and characters you actually care about.

Join us as we dive into why Jackie Brown stands out, even among Tarantino’s heavy hitters, and why it’s a must-watch for fans of great casts, sharp writing, and, of course, Sam Jackson at his finest.

Stick around for round of trivia at the end of the episode!

Safe travels, muthafuckas!
