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.

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!

On May 19th, 2023, actor Rick Dalton passed away peacefully in his home in Honolulu, Hawaii. He is survived by his wife Francesca. Dalton was beloved by fans of Bounty Law, where he played bounty hunter Jake Cahill for five terrific seasons, and also for his iconic role as a flamethrower-wielding vigilante in The Fireman series of movies. But he was so much more than those well known parts, with a career that spanned over twenty years.

On this episode of the Video Archives Podcast, we invite you to remember Rick Dalton. In Part 1 of our memorial episode, we discuss his most famous roles, including standout TV performances in Cade’s County and Manhunter. We’ll also hear excerpts of a Q&A conducted by Quentin in 1999 between him and Rick. Stay tuned for more of our celebration of Dalton’s life and work, coming in two weeks.
