Quentin Tarantino Calls ‘Yellowstone’ A Soap Opera, Fans Fire Back

Quentin Tarantino‘s got a whole lot more than a hateful eight coming after him … he’s got a whole army of pissed-off fans slamming him — ’cause he took aim at “Yellowstone.”

Here’s the deal … on a recent episode of “The Joe Rogan Experience,” Tarantino talked about watching the hit Western TV show — explaining he loves the genre and gave the show a chance.

But, after watching a couple seasons, QT says he was compelled by the show while watching … but realized when he wasn’t in front of the screen that the show is simply a soap opera.

Listen to Tarantino’s explanation for yourself … saying they set up the character and then you get caught up in the minutiae of the characters rather than the overall product.

Tarantino says the difference with a great movie is he’ll never forget the characters or the story … whereas some of that is lost when watching a show like “Yellowstone.”

Quentin says there’s no payoff with the show like there is in movies … and, that makes the show a soap.

As you can imagine, loyal fans of the show didn’t appreciate Quentin’s “dismissive take” … with many online clapping back at the writer/director — with some even wondering if there’s anything he likes outside of his own movies.

Tarantino’s waded into the Western genre a couple times in his career … with his movies “The Hateful 8” and “Django Unchained” quickly becoming fan favorites.
