I think the movies he's homaging were for the most part shitty like that just for budget and time reasons, not on purpose. They would always have slow pacing, be overly talky, but then have some really standout set-piece where all their money went and that they were remembered for and everyone would say "you gotta see it for this!". Tons of stuff from the 70s is like this.
The premise of Grindhouse being to bring back that kind of movie, I think Tarantino 100% succeeded, to where if you didn't know the people involved and saw Death Proof on cable a decade later, you might absolutely mistake it for something trashy from the 70s. Planet Terror is a nudge nudge, wink wink fan film to that kind of movie, whereas Death Proof is that movie for real.
And just like those Grindhouse movies from the 70s, its the kinda thing where you want to fast forward through 50-75% of it.
