The Video Archives Podcast with Quentin Tarantino & Roger Avary

Quentin Tarantino & Roger Avary invite you to become a customer at Video Archives, the video store where it all began. Joined by their trusty producer Gala Avary, they’ll travel back in time to revisit old classics and discover new favorites, pulled from the thousands of actual VHS tapes that Quentin & Roger used to recommend to customers back in the day at the original Video Archives store in Manhattan Beach. From controversial James Bond films to surprising exploitation flicks, the Video Archives team will expose you to movies you didn't know you'd love, give awards to their favorites, and of course, rate the quality of the video transfer.

    202 - The Love Bug / The Amsterdam Kill / Birds of Prey

    Quentin Tarantino & Roger Avary join the race in The Love Bug.  A down on his luck race car driver purchases a little VW Bug that leads him straight to victory, but he's the only one who doesn't realize that the little car has a mind of its own!  In our first ever Disney clamshell title, Roger and Quentin discuss how Herbie honked his way into their hearts, how the Disney regular actors shined in their roles, and the story behind this particular box at Video Archives... Quentin and Roger continue the conversation over on Patreon with two more titles.  Next up, it's The Amsterdam Kill, where a former DEA agent is hired by a drug lord who wants out of the business.  Quentin and Roger chat about how this movie was a precursor to heroic bloodshed, the dynamic between actors, and a bit about director Robert Clouse.  To finish up our triple feature, we've got Birds of Prey.  The guys focus in on the stunt work and how the actors play off each other.  Run fast and don’t look back, because Birds of Prey may be the last thing your eyes will ever see.   PATREON MERCH TWITTER INSTAGRAM You can also write us a question by sending a letter to The Video Archives Podcast, 1014 South Westlake Boulevard, Suite #14-1328, Westlake Village, CA 91361.

    201 - Narrow Margin / The "Human" Factor / Killpoint

    On the Season 2 premiere of The Video Archives Podcast, Quentin & Roger catch their train -- but only by a Narrow Margin.  Once comfortably in their cabin, they'll chat about where Gene Hackman and Anne Archer were in their careers, the gender role dynamics of the characters, and how their initial viewing of this movie influenced the future of film forever.  Remember, folks: between the viewer and a film there is only ... a Narrow Margin. Then, on Patreon, Roger and Quentin continue the conversation with two more tapes pulled from the shelves of Video Archives.  Next up is The "Human" Factor.  Quentin and Roger chat about the important place this revengeamatic sits in the genre, a brief lesson on director Edward Dmytryk, and discuss the show stopping last ten minutes that need to be seen to be believed.  Lastly, the guys head on over to Riverside, where the street violence is so out of control that we've no doubt reached the Killpoint.  Featuring actors such as Leo Fong, Richard Roundtree, Cameron Mitchell, and Stack Pierce — you know this movie has Video Archives written all over it!
