• Fans react positively to Tarantino's interview on Club Random, appreciating open conversation and interesting discussions.

Bill Maher has some top tier guests on Club Random. However, the outcome isn't always positive. His interview with Ray Romano was overshadowed by his lack of self-awareness. In addition, his interview with Hawk Tuah was referred to as "painful."

Thankfully, reviews were a lot more positive for his recent chat alongside Quentin Tarantino. Credit to the filmmaker, who didn't allow Maher to take over, while sharing his opinions on multiple issues in Hollywood. One of the topics discussed was Alec Baldwin, and it appears that Maher and Tarantino had different opinions on the Rust tragedy.

Let's recap what the two had to say, and how the fans reacted.

Bill Maher Thinks Alec Baldwin Shouldn't Be Liable, While Quentin Tarantino Thinks It Was 10% His Fault

Posted 18 hours ago, Quentin Tarantino returned to the Club Random podcast for a second time. Cinema was a major discussion point between the two. However, the chat took a turn after Bill Maher made a joke about Alec Baldwin. Maher says, “They went to Alec Baldwin,” after revealing the hosts that had turned down the chance to host the Oscars. “I’m joking. He said he couldn’t do it. He was shooting.”

Quentin Tarantino has a net worth of $120 million.

Maher stuck to the Alec Baldwin topic, stating that he had a hard time believing the actor was at fault.

“I am the biggest supporter of his b------- case, don’t you think?” Maher began. “I mean, how can it be his fault? Like, either you think he purposely shot that cinematographer, or you think he didn’t purposely shoot her. And if he didn’t purposely shoot her. It is bs. Am I wrong?”

Tarantino instead shared a different opinion. The filmmaker does believe Baldwin is at fault to a degree. In Quentin's view, the actor is 10% responsible.

"An armorer is 90% responsible for everything that happens when it comes to that gun,” Tarantino said.

“But, but, but, but, but, but, the actor is 10% responsible. The actor is 10% responsible. It’s a gun. You are a partner in the responsibility to some degree.”

Tarantino continued, “They show it to you. If there are steps to go through, you go through them, and it’s done with due diligence, and you know it’s f– for real."

The debate was an interesting one as the two went back and forth on protocols. It is certainly worth a watch.

The chat about Baldwin ends with Maher hoping Baldwin finds happiness away from the spotlight and with his massive family.
