by 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.

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.

This is a film school lecture! THANK YOU!!!! If you look up the interviews of the people whose insights you care about this is an invaluable podcast. I hope we get these for as long as possible!

FryBender3000 · Dec 2024

I could listen to Roger and Quentin talk all day about movies. What a pleasure to listen to two people who are so passionate and knowledgeable about one of my favorite subjects. Subtracting one star for new paywall strategy. I understand this is a lot of work but I already have a ton of subs - not sure I can afford another.

Salvasnah · Dec 2024

I Freaking Love This Podcast!!! Brings this Ol Film Fan Such Immense Pleasure to discover some of these Nuggets ! If you’re a Cinema Geek do yourself a Favor and give this Podcast a Spin !

Zandor Clegane · Oct 2024

I learn about so many amazing films I’d never know about without this podcast. Great movies and some of the best movie conversations anywhere. Definitely listen to this one

podcastracing · Aug 2023

I absolutely love this podcast! As a former student in a film school (many years ago), this podcast has helped to reignite my interest in films! As a result of this podcast, I have discovered so many great films that I had not heard of before, especially the Giallo films! However, now I only get to hear/learn about 33.3% of the content unless I pay a subscription? Look, I already pay a lot for internet, cellular, and for the phone that I am using right now. Can you at least make the transcripts available at 100%? That way we can at least have access to all the content.

jefflehan · Nov 2024

We wait over a year for new episodes and then without any kind of prior announcement they bury 85% of the show behind a paywall. No bonus episodes of any kind, they’re just offering the same exact show they gave us for free before only now you have to pay for it. This is lazy and greedy. That’s fine though I have plenty of other movie podcasts that I listen to that don’t treat their listeners like this AND most of them have patreons that actually offer worthwhile bonus content. I’d highly recommend checking out Screen Drafts, Blank Check, the Big Picture, The LexG Podcast or the Important Cinema Club for good insightful discussions about film that don’t cost you $5 a month just to hear complete episodes. Good riddance to bad rubbish.
