The Video Archives Podcast with Quentin Tarantino & Roger Avary

119 - The Great Waldo Pepper

High above the clouds flies the second greatest pilot who ever lived…The Great Waldo Pepper! A biplane pilot who missed his chance at glory in World War I takes up barnstorming in George Roy Hill’s third collaboration with Robert Redford. Quentin and Roger discuss Hill as a great thematic filmmaker, the powerful use of music and silence, the crazy real-life plane stunts, and a scene so heart-wrenching, many viewers couldn’t recover. Then, they reach deep into the psyche of Waldo Pepper, discussing chasing your dreams and the consequences of living a lie. <a href="https://www.patreon.com/videoarchives" rel="noopener" target="_blank">PATREON</a> <a href="https://www.videoarchivesmerch.com">MERCH</a> <a href="https://x.com/VideoArchives">TWITTER</a> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/videoarchivespod/">INSTAGRAM</a> You can also write us a question by sending a letter to The Video Archives Podcast, 1014 South Westlake Boulevard, Suite #14-1328, Westlake Village, CA 91361.
