It could also be fairly a while till we study what Quentin Tarantino’s tenth and last movie shall be now that The Movie Critic has been faraway from the slate, however we do not less than have one other QT mission to stay up for: season two of The Video Archives Podcast which, he co-hosts with Pulp Fiction co-writer Roger Avary.

While we don’t know the discharge date, a submit on The Video Archives Podcast X web page teased that the sophomore season is in actual fact coming: “You may have heard rumor that we’re gearing up for Season Two.

This is definitely one of the cooler parts to the Video Archives Podcast; sticking with the analog theme to the sequence, the one means listeners can get something to the fellas (and Gala, Roger Avary’s daughter and producer on the podcast) is by sending one thing via snail mail.

The Video Archives podcast debuted in July 2022, with Tarantino and Avary utilizing the namesake Manhattan Beach, California video retailer they each labored in – and its stock, which QT bought after it closed in 1995 – as direct inspiration. In every episode, the boys comb via the intensive library to investigate and critique any films they rattling effectively really feel like.

The Video Archives Podcast little doubt went via so much of movies, hitting over 70 in its first season. While there have been some extra standard titles that cinephiles know effectively, like Straw Dogs, Mikey and Nickey and Dressed to Kill, the fellas additionally launched many of us to some really obscure stuff, like drag racing doc American Nitro, the peculiar and darkish Baxter (instructed from the purpose of view of a canine) and Soviet romance Amphibian Man, which was The Shape of Water earlier than The Shape of Water. Personally, I’d place Amphibian Man, Sergio Corbucci’s Sonny and Jed and the aforementioned Delirium as the very best discoveries from the primary season, though there’s nonetheless loads to comb via.

Quentin Tarantino even took a pair of episodes – that’s, almost three hours – to pay homage to Rick Dalton, his Once Upon a Time in Hollywood character who he killed off final yr. In his tribute, he lined the profession of the fictional character in nice element, one thing he has talked about increasing on earlier than.
