OpinYarns

We're back with another movie deep dive, and this time we're tackling one of cinema's most distinctive filmmakers: Quentin Tarantino!

From Reservoir Dogs to Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, we're working our way through Tarantino's directorial filmography, discussing the films, sharing our opinions, debating the highs and lows, and ultimately ranking every one of his directorial efforts.

Which film takes the crown?

There's also a new face joining the hosting lineup, as Guy makes his official debut as a fellow Opinyarns host!

A new chapter, a familiar amount of nonsense, and plenty of movie opinions to go around.

So grab a seat, get comfortable, and come have a yarn with us.

Movies. Opinions. Tangents.

A new chapter for Opinyarns begins!

We're looking ahead at everything happening in the world of movies, TV and pop culture, breaking down what's coming out now, what's on the horizon, and what we're most excited to see before the year is out.

But this episode is a little different.

With Keith heading overseas for a while, it's time for a new era of Opinyarns. It's now just Kasey and Bryn holding down the fort, and while things might sound a little different, the opinions, tangents and questionable takes aren't going anywhere.

We also take a moment to pay tribute to Keith, sharing a few memories and giving our mate the send off he deserves. He's still part of the Opinyarns story, and this definitely isn't goodbye forever.

So, new chapter, familiar chaos. There's plenty to talk about, plenty to look forward to, and as always, plenty of tangents along the way.

WE CONTINUE. ❤️

Thanks to everyone who's been listening and supporting us. Here's to the next chapter!
