## Resource

For this very special episode, Quentin Tarantino returns to the show to discuss a filmmaker he's a huge fan of: William Beaudine. If you're not familiar with Beaudine, Quentin is here to change that—and then some. He's also put together a major tribute to the director, taking place this April at both the New Beverly and the Video Archives Cinema Club. Tune in as Brian and Elric chat with QT to explore the fascinating story of this underappreciated filmmaker, along with highlights from his incredibly long and prolific career.
