Quentin Tarantino: The New Podcast
The video archive had close to 8,000 VHS tapes and DVDs, which the celebrated director bought in 1995
After directing, acting, and writing, the famous Quentin Tarantino has found a new, rather original interest. Namely, the famous director started a podcast with his long-time friend and collaborator Roger Avary, in which we will follow how they watch the original VHS tapes from the archives of the video club where they worked together more than 30 years ago. It's called simply - The Video Archives Podcast.
They will talk about movies like "Dark Star", "Moonraker", "Demonoid", "Messenger of Death", "Piranha" and many other strange B production titles. The video archive had close to 8,000 VHS tapes and DVDs, which Tarantino bought in 1995 when he and Avary won the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay for "Pulp Fiction".
“We never imagined that 30 years after we worked together behind the counter in a video club, we would again be doing the same thing as then: passionately talking about movies” - said Tarantino and Avary in a joint statement and added:
“Watching movies is what originally brought us together and made us friends, and our love for movies still binds us today. So we surrounded ourselves with the original Video Archives collection, where we both worked before becoming celebrated filmmakers, and traveled back in time to the golden age of VHS."

Tarantino, after the success of the film "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood”, announced that he would only make one more film before retiring. These new occupations that he is engaged in can perhaps be interpreted as filling time before his last big film.
Roger Avary, after his Oscar for "Pulp Fiction," didn't have nearly as big a career as his friend. After a couple of mediocre scripts, he retreated into obscure projects, and in 2008 he took part in a car accident that killed a woman, for which he spent a year in prison.
