    Apr 29 2025

    On this episode of The Video Archives Podcast … the bases are loaded, and Quentin Tarantino & Roger Avary are hoping for a grand slam home run in The Bad News Bears in Breaking Training. In this sequel to the smash hit, The Bad News Bears are back and on their way to Houston to play an exhibition game. The only problem? They have no coach! Quentin and Roger discuss how Jackie Earle Hailey earns his spot as top billed, how the film deals with issues like a true 70’s movie, and the lessons that this film can teach you as both a child and an adult.

    Then, over on Patreon: We follow that conversation up with The Fighting Eagle, starring Rod La Rocque and produced by Cecil B. DeMille. Quentin and Roger walk us through this napoleonic wars adventure flick and highlight their favorite parts. Then Quentin and Roger take a Ride in a Pink Car — where a man thought to be dead returns home to find that everything has changed.

    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.

What a treat!

It brings tears to my eyes seeing Tarantino and Avery reunite to give us this truly amazing podcast. It is so fun to hear them talk about all aspects of the movie making process and past stories about their video store days. Pure cinema speculation!

Crossing my fingers that Avery partners with Tarantino on his 10th film!

The Jet Benny Show

Just wondering why in your review of Jet Benny no mention is made of the fact that Rochester is played by Kevin Dees (white guy) doing a stereotypical 50's type of African American accent in a black face mask. Not the same as black face but it did leave a bad taste in my mouth.
