Quentin Tarantino and Roger Avary, who co-host The Video Archives Podcast, lately recorded their first-ever dwell episode.
Lower the Bacalov…In a brief interval, Quentin Tarantino and Roger Avary’s Video Archives Podcast turned one of many important film podcasts on the market. With severe, encyclopedic data blended with respectful and passionate banter, the podcast is important listening for any movie buff. But, even for those who assume you understand your sh*t, you pale compared to what QT and Avary have to supply…and so they don’t care one bit.
Tarantino lately mentioned that he’s not involved with whether or not or not you’ve gotten seen the flicks they’re discussing however that you just’re invested in The Video Archives Podcast itself. “I want you to listen to our show, and I want you to like the show. I have not seen every movie of every Pauline Kael review I’ve read. But I like reading the reviews. We’re not a ‘recommend’ show. If we do end up recommending a movie that you want to watch, great! I want to do movies that I want to watch with Roger, and I want to talk about. Whatever happens after that, that’s all up to you. We can do movies we don’t like. We just have to think it’ll be a good show. The only thing that’s important is the discussion.”
For what it’s value, for me, The Video Archives Podcast has completely change into a “recommend show”, as I’ve sought out quite a lot of titles based mostly on the opinions – whether or not good or unhealthy – from Tarantino and Avary. Of the 100+ films they’ve featured of their episodes, I wager I’ve solely seen a 3rd. Nevertheless it has given me so many superior films to take a look at that I in any other case could not have (or would have taken a couple of extra years to get to), like Sonny & Jed, Amphibian Man and The Hospital.
For Avary, The Video Archives Podcast additionally provides the chance for him and his co-host to display what makes a correct debate over movie. “People have forgotten how to have discussions – proper discussions – where you can agree and disagree with each other, and even debate each other, and then get into an argument with each other and then say, ‘Hey, let’s go to karaoke! Let’s get a bite to eat.’” Maybe for a Massive Kahuna Burger?
The Video Archives Podcast lately hosted its first dwell present, screening 1973’s No Approach Out, which is able to routinely put it on the high of quite a lot of cinephiles’ must-watch lists. Because it was recorded, it is going to finally be launched on Patreon for subscribers. Within the meantime, you may compensate for latest episodes – together with one devoted solely to Steven Spielberg’s 1941 – through any variety of platforms.
