I just know how to use them the right way, and people get excited coz I’ve used them before in ways people like it. RR: No it’s not like I give them work, it’s more like I get a reaction from the audience, coz they’d see Danny in the Machete trailer, and they see Cheech in the Machete trailer, and they go “great”. T: So these guys, are they like your family? RR: Cheech and Danny I think I’ve worked with seven times, yeah. T: You work with a lot of people all the time, like Danny Trejo T: What would be the genres you’d like to tackle next? Are there any specific things you’d like to do? T: What are you gonna do after Sin City 2? I haven’t heard too much.

But yeah, I have a whole full kitchen there at my studio. Usually breakfast tacos, and stuff really late at night. RR: Yeah, the actors would come into the back and we’d cook, especially have little cook-offs after we’d finished shooting. RR: Yeah, well he doesn’t have to coz he’s usually not shooting his own material, so it’s usual somebody else’s problem, but since I work so hard, and do all my post-production, and do my effects, I know what a pain in the ass film is, so that’s why I switched. T: Coz you’re trying hard to win him over. RR: Yeah, I think so, because they all wanna have more creative freedom, and have more time, so I think they get what we’re doing and see that we can do anything we want. T: Do you think modern filmmakers, especially mainstream filmmakers are learning from what you and Quentin are doing? It’s building slowly, it’s like a cool little place I don’t know, I just built it for myself to be able to make movies there and friends to make movies there, and it’s self-sustaining, and starting into a commercial studio now.

How did that go? What are the plans for that? And then you went so fast, and now you’re building this little Hollywood down there in Austin. In high school I read “ Rebel Without a Crew” and I thought I wanna make movies, and I’d watch “ El Mariachi” a lot.

And for the people who remember that era it will be a real throwback, but for younger people it will be just something new and different. this is kind of a cool…” but this is a whole experience, with the fake trailers and the two movies. Robert Rodriguez: They’ll just see something who they’ll think is very new and different and original, and we’ll look like more original guys, coz they’ll not know what the reference is.

: What are newcomers to grind house movies gonna take away from that experience? There’s gonna be a lot of people who don’t know what the grind house movies were. Here is the transcript of our chat with Robert. We got to meet Robert Rodriguez at the Grindhouse junket in LA in April 2007.
