| 0:00.0 | This is Gala Avery reporting to you about this week at the Video Archive Cinema Club, the 20-seat secret cinema located within the Vista. |
| 0:09.2 | Today, I am joined on the airwaves by my partner in crime, Video Archive Cinema Club manager Matt Lansman to chat about the calendar for the week of Monday, January 27th. |
| 0:21.6 | Hey, Matt. Good morning, Dala. |
| 0:22.6 | It is a wonderful morning here in Los Angeles, and let's get right on into the movies. |
| 0:28.6 | First up on Tuesday, January 28th, we have a sold-out 2 p.m. showtime of Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia. From 1974, which many people |
| 0:42.9 | considered to be the last true Peck and Paw film, the director himself claimed that it was the |
| 0:47.9 | only one of his films to be released exactly as he intended it. I love this movie. Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia might be my favorite peck and paw. |
| 0:57.6 | If you've listened to the Video Archives podcast, you will know that Quentin and I at one point did go toe to toe on Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia. |
| 1:07.1 | I don't know if it's one of his favorites, but it's definitely one of mine. |

| 1:19.5 | So it's definitely something that is in the ether of video archives. |
| 1:23.0 | And I am so excited that they are showing it this month. |
| 1:26.8 | I love this movie. |
| 1:28.9 | I think that it was so ahead of its time in a way in terms of how dark and how nasty it gets |
| 1:35.9 | that I think a lot of people at the time kind of didn't like it necessarily. |
| 1:41.6 | And it wasn't like a huge hit from what I've read because I think that |
| 1:46.2 | people thought it was just so dark and so grim but hey uh roger ebert on the back of this box |
| 1:52.3 | says it is a strange weird masterpiece actually the funny fact is that I saw this movie |
| 1:58.4 | because right when Matt and I first met way, way long ago at a |
| 2:02.5 | tape swap, he gave me a selection of tapes. And some of them I still have not watched, but one of |
| 2:08.5 | them was bringing me the head of Alfredo Garcia. And I think Matt might have the tape that he |
| 2:16.1 | gave me that I gave back. |
