105: Django Unchained - Jamie Foxx, Leonardo DiCaprio, Quentin Tarantino, Christoph Wlatz

This week on The Cover, we saddle up with one of the most controversial, celebrated, and unforgettable films of the modern era: Django Unchained. Join us as we break down Quentin Tarantino's Oscar winning revenge western that follows Django, a freed slave turned bounty hunter, on a relentless mission to rescue his wife from the brutal plantation owner Calvin Candie. Along the way, we explore the film's unique blend of history, satire, violence, and dark humor, and discuss why it continues to spark debate more than a decade after its release. We'll cover behind the scenes stories, historical influences, casting decisions, hidden details, and the incredible performances from Jamie Foxx, Christoph Waltz, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Samuel L. Jackson. Plus, we'll discuss whether Django Unchained is simply a revenge fantasy, a commentary on American history, or somehow both at the same time.
