How do you make fun of a film that is regarded as one of the best of the year? That’s the problem that faced Screen Junkies and their Honest Trailer for “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.” And instead of trying to nitpick the hell out of the latest Quentin Tarantino film, which just won the Best Picture – Comedy/Musical award at the Golden Globes, they decided to take the filmmaker’s entire filmography into consideration.
That’s right, the Screen Junkies just released the Honest Trailer for “Every Quentin Tarantino Film.” And as you might expect from the sheer volume of films, this “trailer” is more along the lines of a short film, clocking in well over 8 minutes.

The trailer breaks down Tarantino’s career into separate phases, including his revenge films (“Reservoir Dogs,” “Pulp Fiction,” “Jackie Brown”), his “I’m going to make ‘70s movies” films (“Kill Bill,” “Death Proof”), his revisionist history films (“Django Unchained,” “Inglourious Basterds,” “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood”) and his “long one” (“The Hateful Eight”). And even with the filmmaker’s insistence that he only has one more film left in him, making 10 total, the folks at Screen Junkies do the math and figure that he really has about four more that he should make.

Sure, the video also takes aim at Tarantino’s insistence on including obscure pop culture references, criminal heroes, and other tropes that he seems to rely on quite a bit, but the Screen Junkies have created an Honest Trailer that is, at once, reverential of one of the best living filmmakers while also making sure they don’t take it too easy on him.
Oh, and make sure you stick around for the special song at the end.
