An entertainment news piece from Collider reminds readers in the United States that Quentin Tarantino's Western The Hateful Eight is due to be removed from the Peacock streaming service, urging fans to watch it before it leaves. The article frames the film as a blend of Tarantino's trademark stylistic excess with the enclosed, whodunit tension of an Agatha Christie mystery, and encourages a rewatch while it remains available.

The film followed Django Unchained (2012) as Tarantino's tribute to the spaghetti Westerns he admires, though production was disrupted when the screenplay was reportedly leaked, briefly stalling the project before he returned to it. Released in 2015, The Hateful Eight ran to 167 minutes in its theatrical cut, with an extended roadshow version featuring an overture and intermission; it was shot on large-format film by regular cinematographer Robert Richardson and starred Tarantino regulars including Samuel L. Jackson, Tim Roth, Michael Madsen and Kurt Russell.
