On this episode of the Video Archives Podcast Quentin Tarantino & Roger Avary uncover Quentin’s latest obsession: 1936’s The Last of the Mohicans. In this classic tale written by James Fenimore Cooper, two sisters and a British commander are abducted by the Hurons and can only be rescued by the last of the Mohicans. What ensues is a romantic tale of epic proportions set in the midst of the French and Indian War. After giving a brief history lesson on director George B. Seitz, Quentin and Roger discuss exactly what has drawn them to this title, the different iterations they’ve watched, and how Randolph Scott may have won Quentin over.
Then, over on Patreon — we continue the conversation with another film adapted from a classic book: Northwest Passage. Two friends join Rogers’ Rangers during the French and Indian War. Quentin and Roger talk about the history of this film along with the intense brutality of some of the fight sequences. Then, we’re back with director George B. Seitz — but this time, in the Wild West with Kit Carson. Quentin and Roger discuss the action sequences, what it was like viewing this on 16mm, and the delicate balance of the love triangle in this film.
