On this episode of The Video Archives Podcast, Quentin Tarantino and Roger Avary strike rich in THE GOLD RUSH. A gold prospector, played by Charlie Chaplin, struggle to survive the elements while he tries to win the heart of a dance hall girl. Viewed all together at the New Beverly Cinema, Quentin and Roger discuss the reaction of the audience, the success of a physical silent comedy, and directors who had the power to get stuff done.

Then, over on Patreon — 91 thousand people. 33 exit gates. One sniper. Quentin and Roger are in the stadium in Two-Minute Warning to discuss the history of the film, it’s connections to Black Sunday, and how the various stories coalesce into one final shot. And to wrap up the night, a Crown International title: Pom Pom Girls. It's full of pranks, romps, and good ole fashion cheer. Come on down to the game, it'll be a blast.

Writer and Video Archives Cinema Club regular, Matthew David Wilder, joins Quentin Tarantino and Roger Avary as they rip apart the house in George P. Cosmatos’ Of Unknown Origin. A hard working businessman recently finally finished his townhouse renovations only to find that he’s not the only one who moved in. What starts as a simple game of cat and mouse turns into obsession. Quentin, Roger, and Matthew discuss how their opinions on the film have changed over the years, the connections to other films like Shock to the System and American Psycho, and the theories on just who the invader truly is.

Then, over on Patreon, the guys continue the conversation. Second on today’s billing — we’ve got a third world hitman gone berserk! Quentin, Roger, and Matthew pull the apartheid-sploitation Funeral for An Assassin off the shelves. Starring Vic Morrow, the guys discuss how they discovered this film from trailers on another tape, the muscularity of the directing, and which side this movie is really on. And, to bring it all together, we’ve got a Canucksploitation sex comedy that will have you begging for special treatment.
