Noted movie fan Quentin Tarantino has found another outlet for his love of cinema: a new podcast that harkens back to the earliest days of his career. Per Variety, The Video Archives Podcast is a new collaboration with longtime pal (and Pulp Fiction co-writer) Roger Avary.
Tarantino and Avary worked together at the Video Archives back in 1983, when there were still independent video rental stores. Before becoming filmmakers themselves, the besties made a name for themselves in Manhattan Beach by sharing their encyclopedic knowledge of film with their customers. Later, when video rental stores were no longer a viable business, Tarantino purchased the entire inventory, which was “close to eight thousand tapes and DVDs.”
