So yesterday, I got a message from one of my blogging friends from the LAMB (The Large Association of Movie Blogs), alerting me to a mention of Strother on the latest episode of of the “Video Archives Podcast” with Quentin Tarantino and Roger Avary. They were discussing the 1974 Elliot Gould/Robert Blake Buddy Cop film “Busting” from director Peter Hyams.
Tarantino had talked with Blake about the film and he recalls part of the conversation in the above clip.

I imagine the original discussion looked a bit like this.
You can find the whole podcast at this link.
My thanks to Todd Liebenow of the Forgotten Filmcast for the heads up on this.
