Is QT a fan of

italian sword and sandal beefcake epics from the 60s? if its not known, would be an interesting question to ask him

very interesting indeed. I know Scorsese is…

he must be at least a little… so many directors, writers and actors went from those films to do westerns and crime films… beside, he made a couple of “swords and sandal nights” during several QT fests…
