Jay Glennie

Jay Glennie is the author of The Making of Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood.

Starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt, and Margot Robbie, the film has cemented itself as one of Tarantino’s most personal and meticulously constructed works—every prop, location, costume, and needle drop carefully chosen to reconstruct a disappearing version of Los Angeles.

Glennie was granted rare access to document how that world came together. Drawing from more than sixty interviews with Quentin Tarantino, the cast, and key members of the crew—alongside extensive on-set photography and original production materials—the book goes far beyond a visual companion or standard oral history.

It examines the creative decisions, near-misses, and practical realities behind the film: how iconic moments were shaped, which sequences almost didn’t happen, and why certain choices mattered to Tarantino on a deeply personal level.

For anyone interested in how great films are actually made, this episode offers a rare, behind-the-scenes look at the decisions, accidents, and creative obsessions behind this modern classic, told by the only writer granted unparalleled access to Tarantino’s creative process.
