Making Grindhouse

FX recently aired a special on GRINDHOUSE, and
Rose-McGowan.com has posted a heapin’ helpin’ of the footage, both making-of and actual clips from the Tarantino/Rodriguez geekfest. Among other things you get interviews with most of the cast, Quentin and Robert discussing their inspirations and casting decisions, explosions, fast cars, kung-fu, zombies, and of course, scantily-clad Rose McGowan. Basically, everything you’d expect and more. Especially cool are the glimpses of the faux-trailers (well, in MACHETE’S case, it’s a real trailer now!), and I gotta say the little peek at Edgar Wright’s trailer made me especially giddy. He might be conjuring Dario Argento here…

Be warned: some of the footage contains some spoilers, but it’s all so enjoyable that you probably won’t mind!
