Quentin Tarantino & Roger Avary go back to class in The Substitute. When an inner city Miami school teacher gets kneecapped after standing up to the school's gang leader, her spec-ops boyfriend goes undercover as a substitue teacher to take down the punk. Quentin and Roger discuss how the on screen chemistry makes this movie work, the excellent extras casting, and how this flick has no right to be this good.

Quentin and Roger continue the conversation over on Patreon with two more titles. Next up: The Promise. A rich student's fiancee has her face mangled by a car accident. Her future mother in law offers to fix her up on one condition: she never sees her son again. Roger and Quentin discuss how this movie mashes up two of Quentin's favorite genres, the smash performances, and some of Roger's speculations behind the true meaning of the film. And, on the last stop of the night, we've got Pancho Villa. Starring Video Archives favorite Telly Savalas, you'll have to see this paella western to believe it.
