On October 14, 1994, Pulp Fiction aired in theatres across the U.S., stunning audiences with its intertwining stories of violence and crime in LA. The film made the careers of John Travolta, Uma Thurman, and Samuel L. Jackson while catapulting Quentin Tarantino to a legendary status among directors. On April 18, the cast gathered at the 2024 TCM Classic Film Festival to celebrate Pulp Fiction‘s 30th anniversary.

Barbenheimer has swept not only the nation but the globe, with Barbie seeing green in its pink-filled world at a $337 million worldwide opening and its quasi-competitor Oppenheimer proving to be one of Christopher Nolan’s strongest debuts, with the movies collectively grossing over a half-billion dollars. And while the internet was abuzz with the striking differences between the films that happened to be out on the same weekend, two major names — Quentin Tarantino and Roger Avary — got in on the fun, planning their own Barbenheimer double feature. Hm, maybe Tarantino should have played Mr. Pink…
As confirmed by the Twitter account for Tarantino and Avary’s podcast, The Video Archives, the duo spent an afternoon catching the meme-worthy Barbenheimer double feature, hitting Christopher Nolan’s movie before wrapping up their day with some lighter fare courtesy of Greta Gerwig, helping Barbie have the best opening weekend for a female director ever.

No one is immune to the cultural craze that is “Barbenheimer” — including Quentin Tarantino.
Moviegoers across the globe assembled over the weekend to celebrate the debut of both Greta Gerwig’s pink and plastic-permeated “Barbie” and Christopher Nolan’s atomic history piece “Oppenheimer.” With both films opening on the same day, many ticket buyers picked up same-day viewings of the films — Tarantino among them.
In a photograph posted to Twitter, a user snapped a picture of the filmmaker in Los Angeles with Roger Avary, his “Pulp Fiction” co-writer and co-host on the pair’s Video Archives Podcast. The caption shared that Tarantino walked across the street after seeing “Oppenheimer” to buy tickets for “Barbie,” going from the Westwood Village to the Regency Bruin Theatre.

Anyone hoping that Quentin Tarantino’s going to eventually make the long-rumoured Kill Bill Vol 3 shouldn’t get their hopes up. Tarantino has long said that he’s only planning on making ten films before retiring, and he’s already settled on The Movie Critic. “I don’t see that. My last film is about a film critic, a male critic. And he plays in the 70s,” he told DeMorgen, a Flemish newspaper (translated by Deadline).
Tarantino had occasionally teased the possibility of a third film over the years but never seemed entirely sold on the idea of it being his final film. While Uma Thurman’s daughter, Maya Hawke, has long been seen as the perfect casting to play The Bride’s daughter, B.B, and was even in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, Tarantino is sticking to his self-imposed ten-movie limit.

The film world is still reeling from the recent loss of actor Rick Dalton, whose passing was first announced on May 19th, 2023 by The Video Archives Podcast's official Twitter account. Dalton, who passed away at his Honolulu, Hawaii home (shortly after celebrating his 90th birthday in April), is survived by his wife, one-time Italian starlet Francesca Cappucci.
The Video Archives Podcast, created and hosted by filmmakers Quentin Tarantino and Roger Avary, aired an episode on May 22nd that is apparently part one of a multi-episode run that revolves around the directors' memories of Dalton and his work.
While other friends and fans of the actor such as Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt have yet to make any official statements or remembrances, Tarantino has made sure that Dalton's name isn't fading into the ether like so many stars of yesteryear.

Quentin Tarantino announced via series of tweets last week the death of Once Upon A Time In Hollywood’s leading man, Rick Dalton. He made the announcement via The Video Archives podcast, which he hosts with Pulp Fiction cowriter Roger Avary, and indicated that today’s podcast would be “a memorial episode designed by Quentin that features some of Rick’s best roles.”
The director made good on that promise.
“On May 19, 2023, actor Rick Dalton passed away peacefully in his home in Honolulu, Hawaii,” announces Avary’s daughter Gala — who produces the show — at the opening of the podcast. “He is survived by his wife, Francesca. Dalton was beloved by fans of Bounty Law, where he played bounty hunter Jake Cahill for five seasons and also for his iconic role as Eddie Karpinski, the flamethrower-wielding vigilante in The Fireman, The Fireman Part 2, and The Fireman 3: CIA Crackdown.

Quentin Tarantino eulogized his fictional “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” star Rick Dalton on a recent episode of his Video Archives podcast.
On May 19, Tarantino announced on The Video Archives’ Twitter that the fictional character had passed away, writing, “We are saddened by the news of the passing of actor Rick Dalton, best known for his roles in the hit TV series ‘Bounty Law’ and ‘The Fireman’ trilogy.”
On the podcast, co-hosted by his “Pulp Fiction” co-writer Roger Avary, Tarantino paid his respects to the late “Once Upon a Time” character with the help of Avary’s daughter Gala, a producer of the podcast.

Let’s call this a fauxbituary. On Friday, The Video Archives Podcast – the show director Quentin Tarantino hosts with his longtime friend and “Pulp Fiction” co-writer and Oscar winner Roger Avary – announced that Rick Dalton, the “Bounty Law” star who helped thwart the attempted murder of actress Sharon Tate, had died at the age of 90.

Writer/director Don Coscarelli kicked off a mind-bending horror franchise with his low budget 1979 classic Phantasm, following that up with Phantasm II in 1988 and Phantasm III: Lord of the Dead in 1994. One Phantasm phan who thought they knew where the franchise should go next was Roger Avary – and soon after sharing an Academy Award win with Quentin Tarantino for co-writing the stories that made up Pulp Fiction, Avary started crafting a Phantasm sequel script he called Phantasm 1999. Coscarelli was impressed with what Avary had come up with, and set out to bring Phantasm 1999 to the screen… but it never happened. Nods to the ideas in that script made it into Phantasm: Oblivion and Phantasm: Ravager, but the budget required for Phantasm 1999 (which was also called Phantasm 2013 A.D. and Phantasm’s End as time went on) could never be secured. So find out about the Phantasm movie that never was...

As we now know, Quentin Tarantino's movies are all set in the same fantastical cinematic universe, offering a glimpse inside the director's head. Like in the real world, anybody can die at any time in various nasty ways, but at least in the Tarantino-verse your killer will probably be jiving to some obscure '70s pop tune or engaging you in a little banter about hamburgers before pulling the trigger. It's a rich, colorful, dangerous place, laden with pop culture references, and also has a second universe within a universe. As Tarantino explained (via Esquire):
"There's the realer than real universe, alright, and all the characters inhabit that one. But then there's this movie universe. And so 'From Dusk Till Dawn,' 'Kill Bill,' they all take place in this special movie universe. So basically when the characters of 'Reservoir Dogs' or 'Pulp Fiction,'...

Like many people passionate about movies, particularly those who grew up in the golden age of trash-talking critics like Pauline Kael, Judith Crist, Rex Reed, Gene Siskel, and Roger Ebert, Quentin Tarantino isn't shy about throwing an elbow or twelve when discussing cinema. He doesn't vacillate, nor does he spend much time discussing films that elicit a ho-hum response. You could say he likes to play contrarian, but that would suggest he's basically the Skip Bayless of film discourse. While you may vehemently disagree with Tarantino from time to time, he is anything but a full-of-it blowhard who spouts off inflammatory opinions to get a rise out of low-information fanatics. Tarantino knows his subject inside and out. If you want to enter his arena, you better come armed with ardor and a lifetime's worth of film knowledge.

There was no hierarchy in the video rental shop. Hulk Hogan’s Christmas baby-sitting comedy Santa with Muscles (1996) could sit alongside the original, terrifying Ring (1998); Michael Mann’s obscure horror The Keep (1983) might share shelf space with Ken Loach’s Kes (1969). Video shops bred a canon-less cinephilia for those of us who frequented them, and a rabid sense of community that no algorithm could ever replicate. Despite the VHS being obsolete since 2006 – when David Cronenberg’s A History of Violence became the final movie to be released in such a format – nostalgia, collector’s fetishism and video shop mythologising have combined to create a cultural reappraisal of what they once offered us.

Everyone has their own idea of what's romantic, and that applies to movie endings, too. As the screenwriter of the 1993 film "True Romance," Quentin Tarantino liked the idea of tragic romance, which has been a pretty consistent thread throughout his career. (Name one non-tragic Tarantino romance. I'll wait.) The director of "True Romance," Tony Scott, saw things a bit differently, and wanted to give this violent, dramatic romantic tale a happy ending. In an interview with IndieWire back in 2012, Tarantino reminisced about the original ending that he wrote into the script for runaway lovers Clarence (Christian Slater) and Alabama (Patricia Arquette), and explained his theory on why exactly Scott and uncredited script co-writer Roger Avary changed it.
"True Romance" is one of my favorite movies, a gritty and bloody romance between a nerdy cinephile who works in a comic book store and the brand-new working girl who falls in love...

A blood and mead-soaked 150 million film adaptation of the classic epic poem "Beowulf" — one that sees Robert Zemeckis directing from a script by Neil Gaiman and "Pulp Fiction" co-writer Roger Avary — reads like the sort of things we movie buffs would talk about all the time. So why has the film's legacy amounted to little more than being the inspiration for the (somewhat literal) running gag that is Seth Rogen's uncanny valley Viking dwarf Bob in the "Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers" movie?
It's plainly because Zemeckis' 2007 fantasy-adventure was part of his ill-conceived detour into mo-cap animation in the aughts, the results of which were three films that are fundamentally hurt by their creepily life-like, yet still not convincing, CGI human characters. 15 years later, the mo-cap human warriors, royalty, and half-human creatures in "Beowulf" have only grown more off-putting, which is too bad since the actors behind them seem to be having a ball,...

Quentin Tarantino may not work for JoBlo, but he has recently opened up about something that would fit right in with our Unpopular Opinion articles. On August 3rd, Quentin, with his friend and past collaborator, Roger Avary, made an appearance on the ReelBlend podcast where, in a conversation about the Indiana Jones movie series, he reveals he actually prefers the much-maligned fourth movie, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, to the third one, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. Predictably, his fans were up in arms about this revelation.
Tarantino explains,
I like Crystal Skull more than the Sean Connery one. I don’t like the Sean Connery one. I don’t like (that) one at all. That’s such a boring one. It’s boring! And he’s not an interesting character. The joke is made immediately. It’s like Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot.

For quite some time we’ve heard Quentin Tarantino would venture into a new medium with The Video Archives Podcast, which doubles in interest as a reunion with Pulp Fiction… well, what he did on the movie remains ambiguous, so we’ll simply say former collaborator Roger Avary after a supposed rift. (We might have Bret Easton Ellis to thank—not often you can type that.) It, in the man’s words, would be two former video-store clerks taking “one movie from that era, the ‘70s, ‘80s, or the ‘90s, the time of the store, and just kind of examine it, and it’ll be us and a guest and they’ll examine it too. They’re a customer and we’ll just talk about stuff.”

Quentin Tarantino might just be raising a #Gentleminion.
The “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” director has opted to show two-year-old son Leo his first film, and it’s definitely not a fairytale. Tarantino told Empire magazine that Leo’s foray into cinema started with none other than “Despicable Me 2.”
“[My son is] pretty young, so he’s only really seen one movie,” Tarantino explained. “I thought I was hitting a Minions cartoon, and I realize it’s ‘Despicable Me 2.’ And he seemed to be interested in the opening credits, so I go, ‘Okay, I guess we’re watching ‘Despicable Me 2.'”
Tarantino, who recently welcomed a daughter over the Fourth of July weekend with wife Daniella Pick, added that Leo watched “Despicable Me 2” in “small bites” over the course of a week.
“[Leo] gets up and he walks behind the couch, but he’s still watching the TV. We watched it for 20 minutes,...

Pals Quentin Tarantino And Roger Avary Launching ‘The Video Archives Podcast’ On SiriusXM’s Stitcher
Quentin Tarantino And Roger Avary are going back to their South Bay roots. The duo, who first met and bonded while working together at the fabled Video Archives movie rental store in Manhattan Beach, California, are launching a podcast this summer based on the long-closed store’s collection of close to 8,000 VHS tapes and DVDs, which Tarantino now owns.
Tarantino and Avary, who won the Best Original Screenplay Oscar in 1995 for Pulp Fiction, said in a joint statement, “We never imagined that 30 years after we worked together behind the counter at Video Archives, we would be together again doing the exact same thing we did back then: talking passionately about movies on VHS.”
