Once Upon a Time in Hollywood & Almond Pear Chai

In this episode of Steeped in Cinema, we’re diving into Quentin Tarantino’s love letter to 1969 Hollywood. We’ll explore the film’s themes of nostalgia and fading relevance, as well as Tarantino’s evolution as a filmmaker. Plus, we break down the performances of Leonardo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt, and other actors—what makes their characters so compelling, and how the film reflects the very industry it’s paying tribute to.

And what better tea pairing for this reflective journey than Almond Pear Chai from Ohio Tea Company? With its warm spice and subtle sweetness, it’s the perfect brew to sip while discussing a film that lingers between memory and fantasy.
