The Video Archives Podcast with Quentin Tarantino & Roger Avary

Robert Redford's legacy is vast. To honor his passing, we're re-airing one of our favorite episodes: The Great Waldo Pepper. Fun fact: Roger, Gala, and Quentin viewed this movie on film at The New Beverly Cinema. It's co-hit, The Sting, was also supposed to be featured in this episode, but we ended up letting The Great Waldo Pepper stand alone. Here's to the dreamers. This episode was originally Season 1, Episode 19 and aired March 28th, 2023.
