Quentin Tarantino is spilling the tea, or rather the frozen margaritas, on his first book, a novelization of his film, “Once Upon a Time…in Hollywood.”

On Tuesday, June 1 the filmmaker joined hosts Elric Kane and Brian Saur for an episode of the “Pure Cinema Podcast” to discuss famed directors’ final films and drop new details about the book.

Tarantino describes “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood: A Novel,” which will be available in paperback and audio book formats on June 29, as a reimagining of his Academy-Award winning film.

“I’m really happy with it, I’m really proud of it,” he said, “I think if you’re a fan of the movie, I think you will get a kick out of reading the book, and exploring the characters further and deeper, and learning secrets that you didn’t know, and were not in the movie.”
