An official synopsis for the film reads: “Set in 1987 Oakland, ‘ Freaky Tales ‘ is a multi-track mixtape of colorful characters — an NBA star, a corrupt cop, a female rap duo, teen punks, neo-Nazis, and a debt collector — on a collision course in a fever dream of showdowns and battles.”

You can’t watch the trailer for Pedro Pascal’s new movie Freaky Tales and not think of the 1990s. Mainly that’s because the film is set right on the cusp of the decade, 1987, but also the idea of a violent, weird, sprawling single California city almost-anthology brings to mind one of the best films of the decade: Quentin Tarantino’s Pulp Fiction.

"Freaky Tales" is a colorful anthology film set in 1987 Oakland that stars Pedro Pascal, Ben Mendelsohn, Dominique Thorne and Tom Hanks.
