Tarantino works with high caliber actors. He doesn't do stunt casting. Travolta was the closet to a gimmick he used.
He does tons of stunt casting, the entire Manson family was hollywood kids, The stars of Jackie Brown were 2 forgotten 70s exploitation actors

Its probably bullshit but I have no idea what youre talking about. What people? What story?

Tarantino loved exploitation movies as a kid. So he cast them. The kids from Once Upon on a Time in Hollywood were the children of actors from an era he romanticizes. What does Shane Gillis have to do with film critics or anything Tarantino is interested in?

The Titular Movie Critic Works at a “Porno Rag”​

Tarantino told Deadline that the lead in his tenth story is based on a real guy. One of Tarantino’s jobs as a teen was restocking a pornography-magazine vending machine. Sidestepping the legality of that as a job for a teen, Tarantino says he came to really appreciate the writing of the film critic for a “porno rag” he doesn’t want to name. “He wrote about mainstream movies and he was the second-string critic. I think he was a very good critic. He was as cynical as hell. His reviews were a cross between early Howard Stern and what Travis Bickle might be if he were a film critic,” he said. “He wrote like he was 55 but he was only in his early to mid-30s. He died in his late 30s. It wasn’t clear for a while but now I’ve done some more research and I think it was it was complications due to alcoholism.”
