The Video Archives Podcast with Quentin Tarantino & Roger Avary

There are those great podcasts you listen to the once and then there’s the ones you return to… again and again. THE VIDEO ARCHIVES with Quentin Tarantino and Roger Avary is one of those golden delights that makes for perfect repeat listens and it’s all down to a combination of comradery and the encyclopedic knowledge you would expect from these two cinephiles. Without feeling alienated you are in for the ride and also (genuinely) feel part of the show as QT and RA wax lyrical with the odd guest along with Roger’s daughter, Gala, who not only produces the show but has become an integral part of the conversation. Ms Avary also masterfully, wrangles and is never afraid to go toe-to-toe, sparking some fascinating debates surrounding the choices of films. Not only the perfect polished time capsule and slice of nostalgia but also one of the most educational podcasts out there on cinema, introducing you to blasts from the past and obscurities buried on tape.

The first season was fantastic listening, the second began in the same vein then pay to listen! A real kick in the teeth, monetisation of conversation and it ain’t even a moderate fee

I was so excited to return to this wonderful podcast for season 2 only to be hit with the paywall!! Guys come on!!
