Video Archives Podcast

FULL, AD FREE EPISODES ON PATREON.COM/VIDEOARCHIVES

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.

The Video Archives Podcast with Quentin Tarantino & Roger Avary

Robert Redford's legacy is vast. To honor his passing, we're re-airing one of our favorite episodes: The Great Waldo Pepper. Fun fact: Roger, Gala, and Quentin viewed this movie on film at The New Beverly Cinema. It's co-hit, The Sting, was also supposed to be featured in this episode, but we ended up letting The Great Waldo Pepper stand alone.
 
Here's to the dreamers.
 
This episode was originally Season 1, Episode 19 and aired March 28th, 2023.

Rest In Peace Robert Redford

Preview of Kit Carson

On this episode of the Video Archives Podcast Quentin Tarantino & Roger Avary uncover Quentin’s latest obsession: 1936’s The Last of the Mohicans. In this classic tale written by James Fenimore Cooper, two sisters and a British commander are abducted by the Hurons and can only be rescued by the last of the Mohicans. What ensues is a romantic tale of epic proportions set in the midst of the French and Indian War. After giving a brief history lesson on director George B. Seitz, Quentin and Roger discuss exactly what has drawn them to this title, the different iterations they’ve watched, and how Randolph Scott may have won Quentin over. 
 
Then, over on Patreon — we continue the conversation with another film adapted from a classic book: Northwest Passage. Two friends join Rogers’ Rangers during the French and Indian War. Quentin and Roger talk about the history of this film along with the intense brutality of some of the fight sequences. Then, we’re back with director George B. Seitz — but this time, in the Wild West with Kit Carson. Quentin and Roger discuss the action sequences, what it was like viewing this on 16mm, and the delicate balance of the love triangle in this film.
