Obviously he is a big music fan, but he was probably never as obsessive about music as he has been with film.

You would think that, wouldn’t you? And that’s if this director chose regular songs - regular artists that are alive, now. We would think that ever since “Pulp Fiction,” which really was kind of a milestone for using existing songs in movies and making kind of latter-day hits out of them that, money issues aside, it’s going to be an automatic yes, almost all the time, for a Tarantino movie.

Tarantino is a broad and always-boundary-pushing director and his soundtracks have always captivated and engrossed.
