Martini Window continues Season 2 with an incredible guest. This week, Kevin is joined by guest co-host Giovanna Morales Vargas as they sit down with acclaimed filmmaker Julie Cohen, director of RBG, Julia, My Name is Pauli Murray, Everybody, and producer of Frida. Together, they take a deep dive into Quentin Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds.

The conversation explores the film’s bold opening sequence, its long-form storytelling, and the way Tarantino plays with tension, genre, and audience complicity. Julie shares her thoughts on why the movie is brilliant, why it can also be uncomfortable, and how it forces the viewer to reckon with violence, revenge, and the ethics of rooting for brutality. Giovanna brings her own perspective on Shoshanna as a character taking control of her narrative, the film’s use of cinema as a weapon, and why this remains one of Tarantino’s most daring works.

The three discuss performance choices, the film’s structure, standout scenes like the basement tavern sequence, and how Inglourious Basterds continues to resonate in a time when global politics are echoing some of the themes the movie takes aim at. Julie also speaks about her own current projects, including her work on stories of resistance during the Nazi era.

Season 2 of Martini Window begins with a return we have been looking forward to for a long time. After stepping away since 2023, we are back with renewed energy, new conversations, and a film that has only become more relevant with time. For our premiere, we are joined by filmmaker Giovanna Morales Vargas (A Perfect 14, Girl Gone Bad) to talk about Bong Joon-ho’s modern classic, Parasite.

This episode dives into the layers that make Parasite such an extraordinary piece of cinema. We look at how Bong Joon-ho blends genres without ever losing control, how the film uses class, architecture, and visual geography to tell its story, and why the screenplay remains one of the most finely tuned of the last decade. Giovanna brings her sharp perspective on filmmaking, character work, and structure, and the conversation follows the film through its humor, tension, chaos, and emotional weight.

Parasite changed the global conversation around international cinema, and revisiting it with a filmmaker’s eye offers even more to appreciate. It is the perfect film to relaunch the show, and we are excited for you to dive in with us.
