Quentin Tarantino was the top-of-the-show guest on Friday’s episode of “Real Time” — the last episode before Bill Maher’s annual July hiatus, incidentally. And during their conversation, ostensibly about Tarantino’s new book based on his Oscar-winning movie “Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood,” Maher basically begged the “Pulp Fiction” and “Django Unchained” director not to retire.
Alas, Maher likely came away disappointed, as Tarantino was adamant that he won’t be changing his plans.
Tarantino of course has since 2014 been very public about his plans to retire from directing after he directs his 10th film. And yes, every time he’s asked about it he insists it’s really happening.
