New Jersey’s Banquets caused some waves when they released “Top Button, Bottom Shelf” in 2011.
With Tarantino’s love for all things exploitation, it was bound to happen that the good man was going to make a western. And that’s how come we’re watching Dr. King Schultz (Christoph Waltz) almost talking two slave drivers to death before simply shooting them during a nightly encounter at the beginning of the movie.
