Welcome back to another exciting week at the Video Archives Cinema Club. Can you believe it's already the end of January and that next week I'll be writing to you about February titles? I can't believe it! This month flew by. I wonder what the month of February holds? We'll just have to wait and see.
This month at the Cinema Club, we really showed a variety of films -- and this week is no exception! I have some awesome physical media to show off, and I'm also thrilled to say that most o...

Welcome back to another exciting week at the Video Archives Cinema Club. I'm so glad that the theater is back in action. We had some great shows last week and we have some awesome titles coming up this next. So let's get on into it!
To start us off, let's talk a little bit about last week. As you know, when you come to the Cinema Club, you have a chance to see lots of original posters, boxes, lobby cards, and memorabilia brought in by Quentin, Matt, and sometimes even other viewers!...

Good morning everyone!
I hope everyone reading this has stayed safe and healthy over the past week. It's been a whirlwind over here, but if you've been keeping up with all of my writings (and the community chat), you'll know that we are all okay on this end and we're beginning to try to get back into the swing of things. The Cinema Club is open for business (with tons of sold out shows), we're back to chatting it up, and I'm even going through my rental shelf again and watching...

Hey everyone!
I'm so happy to report that the Video Archives Cinema Club is open after the holidays. I'm even further touched because the cinema club has become a mini-hub for people seeking refuge from the smokey air in Los Angeles, and during last week's 3 show run we had a great turn out with people who wanted to come together and see movies. A lot of friends were made over these three nights, and my heart is touched by this.
To honor that, I'm also including the boxes from l...

Good morning everyone! If you've been keeping up with the local Los Angeles news, you've probably read that we are currently on fire (literally). Thankfully, as of writing this, the whole team is safe and we're hoping that all of our friends, families, coworkers, and every Angelino is safe and evacuated from the fires. If you know someone in the Los Angeles area, never hurts to reach out and double check that your friend is OK!
Before we get into the boxes, I have a really cool thing to...

Quentin Tarantino and Roger Avary are on the jury in The Andersonville Trial. Based on the play by Saul Levitt, Quentin and Roger discuss Quentin’s last viewing of the film with Floyd, how director George C. Scott’s own performance in the stage play informed his direction of this testosterone filled powerhouse gang of actors, and the ethics of one’s own morals. Would you have done different if you had the chance? The jury’s still out on that one.
Second on the doc...

Ever wondered what was hanging on the wall in Quentin's office? Here's a little peek! Quentin shared this photograph of a new poster he hung up in his office in Tel Aviv.
La Conguira de Monte Cristo, known in the U.S. as Sword of Venus and in the U.K. as The Island of Monte Cristo, is an RKO adventure film directed by Harold Daniels and stars Robert Clarke, Catherine McLeod, and Dan O'Herlihy. I love these painterly posters and wonder if this will show up in a future episode of the show...

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!
Wow, can you believe it's 2025? I just know it's going to be an amazing year filled with awesome movies. What's your first movie you are planning on watching this year? Will it be an awards winning favorite you missed last year, or will you pick an old classic film you've never had the time to watch? Your best friend's favorite horror movie, a random flick off your shelf, or an old favorite? Or, perhaps, a movie that you were told to watch by one of your friends...

Happy holidays, everyone! I hope you all enjoyed your time with your families. If you didn't have a chance to listen to the episodes yet, don't worry, there's no spoilers held within this newsletter. However, you will want to watch this week's movies before next week's Aftershow (if you've added it into your rotation), because we'll be doing a spotlight on one of the films and talking way more in depth about the history of the film.
