    213 - The Hunt for Red October & More

    On this episode of the Video Archives Podcast, Quentin Tarantino & Roger Avary are on The Hunt for Red October.  The soviets have developed a technologically-superior nuclear submarine that could begin World War III — and its heading straight for us.  While the rest of the government is preparing for the attack, CIA analyst Jack Ryan has a different idea: he believes Captain Ramius is planning to defect.  Now, he has to prove it.  Quentin and Roger discuss their first experiences watching the film, how John McTiernan perfectly cast these roles, and analyze both the strengths and weaknesses of the film.

    212 - 1941

    On this episode of The Video Archives Podcast, Quentin Tarantino and Roger Avary join the colorful eclectic cast of Steven Spielberg's 1941.  In the days after the attack on Pearl Harbor, panic grips California as they believe that Japanese officers are everywhere.  Turns out, they are!  A wayward Japanese military submarine tries to make its way to Hollywood, and as it does, we get to see the stories of manic panic of the day.  Join the guys as they discuss Spielberg as a director and his relationship with the ever-erect John Milius, how opinions of the production influenced critiques on the film, and the very important novelization of the movie.

    211 - The Last of the Mohicans (1936) & More

    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.

    210 - Sword Of Lancelot & More

    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.
