On this episode of the Video Archives podcast, paranoia meets pandemonium in 1941.

Quentin Tarantino and Roger Avery joined the colorful, eclectic cast of Steven Spielberg's comedy spectacular.

In the days after the attack on Pearl Harbor, panic grips California as the citizens believe that Japanese officers

are everywhere. Turns out, they are. A wayward Japanese military submarine tries to make

its way to Hollywood. And as it does, we get to see the stories of manic panic back in the day.

Join the guys as they discuss Spielberg as a director

and his relationship with the ever-erect John Millias.

How opinions of the production influenced critiques on the film

and the very important novelization of the movie.

Plus, we talk about 1941's connections to other films

and may even hand out an award or two since the cast is just that big.

I'm Gala Avery, and joining us now, here's Quentin Tarantino and Roger Avery.

Thank you, Gala, and welcome.

But it's also kind of funny to have a sober conversation about such a zany movie as Stephen Spielberg's

1941.
