On this episode of the Video Archives Podcast Quentin Tarantino & Roger Avary break format by bringing me in to the conversation early with Sword of Lancelot. Also known by the title Lancelot and Guinevere, Cornel Wild tells this classic Arthurian legend in a new light by focussing on Guinevere’s character. We discuss Quentin and Roger’s viewing of this movie, the dynamics that a husband and wife acting duo bring to the screen, and where this Arthurian legend differs from the other tellings.
Then, over on Patreon — we return to format with two more movies. Quentin and Roger discuss Guns of the Magnificent Seven, starring George Kennedy. Then, they turn their attention to wartime Paris in From Hell to Victory.

Writer and Video Archives Cinema Club regular, Matthew David Wilder, joins Quentin Tarantino and Roger Avary as they rip apart the house in George P. Cosmatos’ Of Unknown Origin. A hard working businessman recently finally finished his townhouse renovations only to find that he’s not the only one who moved in. What starts as a simple game of cat and mouse turns into obsession. Quentin, Roger, and Matthew discuss how their opinions on the film have changed over the years, the connections to other films like Shock to the System and American Psycho, and the theories on just who the invader truly is.
Then, over on Patreon, the guys continue the conversation. Second on today’s billing — we’ve got a third world hitman gone berserk! Quentin, Roger, and Matthew pull the apartheid-sploitation Funeral for An Assassin off the shelves. Starring Vic Morrow, the guys discuss how they discovered this film from trailers on another tape, the muscularity of the directing, and which side this movie is really on. And, to bring it all together, we’ve got a Canucksploitation sex comedy that will have you begging for special treatment.
