00:01:30.560 --> 00:01:37.400
It is time we are here again. Hello everybody, Welcome to Reconnected.

2
00:01:37.920 --> 00:01:40.840
If this is your first time here, please make sure you subscribe. I

3
00:01:40.840 --> 00:01:44.760
don't ever say that enough, but
I always forget that there could be new

4
00:01:44.799 --> 00:01:48.920
friends with us every week. And
I'm glad to see everybody. Mister Dodson,

5
00:01:49.120 --> 00:01:53.599
how are we doing this week?
Now? Tonight? It's just mister

6
00:01:53.799 --> 00:02:01.079
because today Will did a stint in
prison. What Yeah, I just got

7
00:02:01.120 --> 00:02:07.040
back. Actually, I'm pretty pretty
tired. It was. It was a

8
00:02:07.079 --> 00:02:15.080
great things. There's a prison education
program started by a philosophy professor at UNC

9
00:02:15.199 --> 00:02:23.280
Greensburg and Jeffrey Kaplan, and I
was very honored to be invited to come

10
00:02:23.280 --> 00:02:30.039
and give a talk to some of
the incarcerated folks. And they asked me

11
00:02:30.159 --> 00:02:32.960
what I'd like to talk about,
and I said, well, I think

12
00:02:34.000 --> 00:02:38.759
it'd be a great time to talk
about the history of exploitation movies and host

13
00:02:38.800 --> 00:02:45.680
of screening of Cleopatra Jones and before
we get the story of Clive Patrick Jones,

14
00:02:45.919 --> 00:02:47.159
I think this is hilarious. Can
you tap your mic for me real

15
00:02:47.240 --> 00:02:53.360
quick? That's exactly what I thought. You're holding a mic that's doing nothing

16
00:02:53.400 --> 00:02:57.879
for you. You should probably turn
the audio and put over to the microphone.

17
00:03:01.240 --> 00:03:07.919
As Will is figuring out how to
work basic technology, let me let

18
00:03:07.919 --> 00:03:10.599
me say hello to some friends real
quick, Josephine to Marco is always here.

19
00:03:10.639 --> 00:03:15.319
Thank you Josephine for being amazing.
Josephine is asking Will what is your

20
00:03:15.319 --> 00:03:20.680
favorite Christmas themed work of literature.
I'm sure Will will have a wonderful answer

21
00:03:20.680 --> 00:03:23.800
for that in just a moment.
What's going on, Paul and Brendan and

22
00:03:23.879 --> 00:03:28.759
Ronnie and yes, happy Hanukkah to
any Jews out there. It is a

23
00:03:28.879 --> 00:03:34.719
trying time for many reasons, obviously
for many that are from that area and

24
00:03:34.800 --> 00:03:43.159
are practicing active in the Jewish community. So keep yourself safe and celebrate Will.

25
00:03:43.879 --> 00:03:50.639
How's that microphone now? I literally
walked in the door like two minutes

26
00:03:50.680 --> 00:03:57.080
before the show is supposed to start, having sped back from the correctional facility.

27
00:03:57.680 --> 00:04:00.199
As I was leaving, one of
the guards said, hey, got

28
00:04:00.199 --> 00:04:06.240
a brake light out Like I was
like, ooh, yes, So we

29
00:04:06.319 --> 00:04:12.240
showed Cleopatra. Jones and I talked
about the history of the Black Explitation cycle,

30
00:04:12.639 --> 00:04:17.879
where the term came from, obviously
a lot of its impact, talked

31
00:04:17.879 --> 00:04:21.079
a little bit about its impact on
the New Black Cinema. We talked a

32
00:04:21.120 --> 00:04:28.680
little bit about obstacles and opportunities for
black filmmakers. Today. We talked a

33
00:04:28.680 --> 00:04:31.639
little bit about Nia DaCosta, right, first black woman to have a film

34
00:04:31.720 --> 00:04:35.399
open number one in Hollywood and the
first black woman to get thrown under the

35
00:04:35.439 --> 00:04:47.240
bus by Kevin Feige. So for
the marvels oh Man, like Paul Abdul

36
00:04:47.279 --> 00:04:51.680
said, two steps forward, three
steps back or something like that. You

37
00:04:51.720 --> 00:04:58.279
know, I got to ask,
how how was it was it twenty twenty?

38
00:04:58.480 --> 00:05:02.240
How is twenty twenty the first time
that a black woman had a film

39
00:05:02.240 --> 00:05:06.639
open number one? That makes logical, Like that doesn't make any sense.

40
00:05:08.399 --> 00:05:15.959
Well, nineteen eighty two was the
first time a black woman directed a feature

41
00:05:15.040 --> 00:05:20.360
length film in nearly one hundred years. The last feature length film directed by

42
00:05:20.360 --> 00:05:28.759
black women prior to eighty two was
nineteen twenty two. Tresie Suitor R one

43
00:05:28.839 --> 00:05:38.279
one three three says, he says
they're still having ago, so you know,

44
00:05:38.279 --> 00:05:44.480
and that was losing ground Kathleen Collins
and and but it wasn't until nineteen

45
00:05:44.519 --> 00:05:48.160
ninety two that Julie Dash's Daughters of
the Dust was the first film directed by

46
00:05:48.160 --> 00:05:55.160
black women to get why theatrical release. So it's, uh, I don't

47
00:05:55.160 --> 00:05:58.800
know if you've heard of this thing
called racism in America, but it's I

48
00:05:58.800 --> 00:06:02.319
thought we saw that like if you
times right. I don't know if we

49
00:06:02.399 --> 00:06:08.199
have any listeners in Florida, but
it's real, y'all. Order you're going

50
00:06:08.240 --> 00:06:13.639
to need to order a book across
interstate lines. Anyway. Yeah, the

51
00:06:13.639 --> 00:06:15.920
talk was, it was it was
a hit. I didn't know what to

52
00:06:15.959 --> 00:06:17.920
expect, but there were a lot
of guys there who were who were really

53
00:06:17.959 --> 00:06:20.879
into it and who had a lot
of knowledge. We talked, talked about

54
00:06:20.920 --> 00:06:26.879
like cornbread, Earl and Me and
Claudine and Dorothy Dandridge and Lena Horn,

55
00:06:27.040 --> 00:06:30.040
Stormy Weather, all this great stuff. Well, I'll tell you that this

56
00:06:30.079 --> 00:06:36.399
is this is my takeaway. So
an older fellow came up to me afterwards

57
00:06:36.439 --> 00:06:40.920
and I wanted to show me a
book that he had just gotten called a

58
00:06:41.079 --> 00:06:46.560
color Blind. It just came out
History of Black Hollywood, and we talked

59
00:06:46.600 --> 00:06:53.079
for a while. Soft spoken fella
knew a whole lot and just engaged with

60
00:06:53.079 --> 00:06:58.360
me for like five or six minutes, just really like asking some pointing questions,

61
00:06:58.519 --> 00:07:00.120
getting into some details, you know, more of the advanced stuff,

62
00:07:00.160 --> 00:07:06.680
and yeah, so I'm leaving with
the with the the guard who kind of

63
00:07:06.759 --> 00:07:11.600
organizes everything. I said, hey, you know that guy. It was

64
00:07:11.600 --> 00:07:14.319
really cool. I enjoyed talking to
him. And he's like, oh,

65
00:07:14.399 --> 00:07:15.879
oh yeah, yeah, well he's
a lifer, he's ro high up in

66
00:07:15.879 --> 00:07:25.800
the bloods let Oh shit, dude, Okay, So I was glad to

67
00:07:25.839 --> 00:07:30.560
be a positive part of his life
in that moment. Yeah. Not something

68
00:07:30.600 --> 00:07:33.240
I've talked about a long time in
here, but there was a few years

69
00:07:33.240 --> 00:07:36.399
of my life. I was a
sheriff explorer when I was younger, and

70
00:07:36.879 --> 00:07:41.800
I could have sworn for the longest
time that I was going to be a

71
00:07:41.839 --> 00:07:46.920
cop when I got older. And
then I I think I finally like fell

72
00:07:47.079 --> 00:07:53.839
face first into the throes of puberty
and went from six foot to six five

73
00:07:54.439 --> 00:07:59.160
in like a year and realized,
not only can I not run because I

74
00:07:59.199 --> 00:08:03.040
wear size eight teen shoes, it
is very difficult to step out of a

75
00:08:03.079 --> 00:08:05.920
car when you're six' five and
be able to chase somebody quickly. So

76
00:08:07.199 --> 00:08:09.879
that was one of the things that
immediately said, yeah, I probably shouldn't

77
00:08:09.920 --> 00:08:15.279
do that. You know that Sarah
Sulderman joke about cops, right, which

78
00:08:15.279 --> 00:08:18.240
one she gets pulled over for speed
and then the cop comes, knocks on

79
00:08:18.319 --> 00:08:22.439
the window and says she rolls it
down. He says, you know what

80
00:08:22.480 --> 00:08:26.120
I'm doing here, and she goes
because you got all c's in high school.

81
00:08:30.480 --> 00:08:33.639
On that note, any recent pickups
or watches you want to talk about,

82
00:08:33.960 --> 00:08:41.759
how funny you should ask Ryan,
because upon my return home, make

83
00:08:41.799 --> 00:08:46.960
sure I'll accidentally hit the mute button. There was a box on my doorstep

84
00:08:48.159 --> 00:08:52.799
that said Error Vision. It's a
nice address you got there, little company

85
00:08:52.799 --> 00:09:01.080
on it. Oh yeah, Well, and this is actually the first thing

86
00:09:01.080 --> 00:09:07.039
that I've had shipped from Terror Vision
because I keep ordering stuff that's pre order.

87
00:09:07.559 --> 00:09:11.440
Let's see. I got a little
pouch that says fortune Teller miracle Fish,

88
00:09:11.480 --> 00:09:16.360
but it's empty, pack and slip. Here. Let's see what we

89
00:09:16.480 --> 00:09:24.240
got. I got a I got
a a nice bumper sticker keep our swamps

90
00:09:24.440 --> 00:09:31.440
clean. And let's see what we
got. Okay, first of all,

91
00:09:33.320 --> 00:09:39.639
we'll be uh repping the propaganda.
I'll probably change into this here directly.

92
00:09:39.639 --> 00:09:43.240
We've got my terror Vision T shirt. Nice all right, it's a nice

93
00:09:43.279 --> 00:09:50.600
design. And then this is about
half the movies I had on pre order.

94
00:09:50.639 --> 00:09:54.480
So let's see which ones came to
me today, We've got we all

95
00:09:54.519 --> 00:10:01.600
have the slips. Of course,
we've got get my gun. Good choice.

96
00:10:03.039 --> 00:10:07.480
Which was the last thing that several
of the inmates I saw tonight said

97
00:10:11.440 --> 00:10:31.000
captives very excited about Theeves. Debbie
Rashaan in Santa Claus parasites nice time around.

98
00:10:31.360 --> 00:10:33.919
Finally in the shipment was about half
of what they are. Man.

99
00:10:35.200 --> 00:10:41.879
I had to go for the snake
movie. As as Craig in the chat

100
00:10:41.919 --> 00:10:46.879
talks about the multitude of cat movies. At least you might want to get

101
00:10:46.879 --> 00:10:52.960
a mongoose movie as well, because
I've got the snake movie. Yeah.

102
00:10:52.000 --> 00:10:54.080
So is it a real bad thing
that I showed my dress? Am I

103
00:10:54.080 --> 00:11:03.600
going to get killed? I mean
hopefully not? Probably not a rental yoah

104
00:11:05.120 --> 00:11:11.000
uh. We got some chat going
down on the marvels in the comments here,

105
00:11:11.120 --> 00:11:16.399
and I really wanted to highlight one
thing that the Wanda Vision Steel book

106
00:11:16.440 --> 00:11:22.919
came in. Still a miracle that
this thing exists, not like, not

107
00:11:22.919 --> 00:11:26.480
not ecstatic with Disney all the time, but stoked when they do stuff like

108
00:11:26.519 --> 00:11:28.960
that. And because I got it
from Disney Movie Club, they sent a

109
00:11:28.000 --> 00:11:35.120
little lithograph with it as well.
Oh nice. One other thing that I

110
00:11:35.159 --> 00:11:39.279
really wanted to highlight is how many
people I saw posting that they got their

111
00:11:39.519 --> 00:11:45.679
Physical Media Advocate Volume six this week, and uh real stoked that everybody's happy

112
00:11:45.720 --> 00:11:48.480
with that. I hope that you
enjoy it. I was hoping for the

113
00:11:48.519 --> 00:11:52.799
two compendiums on the past ones to
be out already, but Amazon is super

114
00:11:52.840 --> 00:11:58.120
finicky about like the border sizes and
all that, and I have to redo

115
00:11:58.279 --> 00:12:01.200
the entire thing so they'll be up. They'll be up soon. It's pretty

116
00:12:01.240 --> 00:12:07.559
damn annoying. Dude. Yeah,
nice, It was a nice quick change.

117
00:12:09.600 --> 00:12:16.000
A couple more things I wanted to
highlight how supporting friends that do stuff

118
00:12:16.080 --> 00:12:20.919
is always important. There is another
artist on YouTube named Jaw that made this.

119
00:12:20.240 --> 00:12:24.480
It's called Murder by the Dozen.
It's a little art zine and he's

120
00:12:24.639 --> 00:12:28.639
incredible, so I ordered that from
him. He sent a thank you note

121
00:12:28.639 --> 00:12:31.960
with a bunch of stickers in it, and then even hand painted the packaging.

122
00:12:33.320 --> 00:12:37.120
Pretty dang rad. Check out the
painter files on YouTube if you're into

123
00:12:37.559 --> 00:12:41.840
something like that. Will Did you
ever see the movie The Final Girls No

124
00:12:41.919 --> 00:12:46.799
Not Yet? Came out in like
twenty fifteen or so. This is the

125
00:12:46.840 --> 00:12:50.480
film, and I wanted to give
everybody a heads up if you wanted to

126
00:12:50.519 --> 00:12:52.879
watch it. I was able to
speak to the director of The Final Girls,

127
00:12:54.000 --> 00:12:58.720
and that is a long interview that's
releasing next Monday. It's already available

128
00:12:58.759 --> 00:13:01.799
on the Patreon if you want to
say up the link below. It was

129
00:13:01.840 --> 00:13:07.879
a really great conversation and I think
it's one of my favorite ones. We

130
00:13:07.919 --> 00:13:11.600
got really deep talking about death and
a whole bunch of other stuff, not

131
00:13:11.679 --> 00:13:15.360
to mention this guy that really loves
physical media, and yeah, it's fun

132
00:13:15.399 --> 00:13:18.639
conversation. And speaking of physical media, last thing I wanted to talk about,

133
00:13:20.440 --> 00:13:28.720
I got hand delivered this wonderful package
from Scarecrow Video after how I did

134
00:13:28.720 --> 00:13:35.159
the interview with Joel recently and last
time we talked, Joel was stoked on

135
00:13:35.200 --> 00:13:39.600
the interview and we have him scheduled
for reconnected next Thursday. So Joel's going

136
00:13:39.639 --> 00:13:43.759
to be here next week. I
got a hand delivered package from Scarecrow and

137
00:13:43.840 --> 00:13:50.120
they're just they're great people. Really
just wanted to highlight them recent watches.

138
00:13:50.440 --> 00:13:56.679
One thing I wanted to highlight I
finally saw a Miyazaki film. I watched

139
00:13:56.720 --> 00:14:01.960
How's Moving Castle. That's the first
one I've ever seen really really have you

140
00:14:03.039 --> 00:14:07.600
seen any most all of his most
Yeah, I used to teach a course

141
00:14:07.759 --> 00:14:13.639
on like origins of anime, and
so we watched some of me Azaki's early

142
00:14:13.679 --> 00:14:20.720
stuff. In My my middle child, he loves my neighbor Toturo, and

143
00:14:20.840 --> 00:14:26.879
so every time Fathom does an anime
studio ghibli Festival, we go to the

144
00:14:26.879 --> 00:14:33.200
theater to see my Neighbor Toturo.
Nice. Yeah, the animation in How's

145
00:14:33.200 --> 00:14:37.000
Moving Castle was astonishing, obviously,
but the big thing that struck me is

146
00:14:37.600 --> 00:14:43.679
how much these films are marketed towards
younger kids, and yet the movie is

147
00:14:43.799 --> 00:14:48.799
just so much more complex than any
of the other animated films that are Western

148
00:14:48.879 --> 00:14:54.440
films that are marketed towards kids.
You know, there's long, complex storylines,

149
00:14:54.519 --> 00:15:00.320
there's things that are almost like sci
fi based that you would just to

150
00:15:00.320 --> 00:15:03.600
expect somebody watching this you need to
know it before going in, and they

151
00:15:03.679 --> 00:15:07.080
just assume that you'll figure it out. There's no like catering to a four

152
00:15:07.159 --> 00:15:09.879
year old as they're watching it.
Just hey, you're you, you can

153
00:15:09.879 --> 00:15:13.559
get this. It's just a movie. Just dive in and you'll have fun

154
00:15:13.639 --> 00:15:16.799
and it's freaking great. It's so
much fun. Yeah, we we we

155
00:15:16.919 --> 00:15:26.480
used to have expectations for kids,
and now we just coddle them. Yeah,

156
00:15:26.720 --> 00:15:30.879
like yeah, the inmates and I
got so into the conversation. I

157
00:15:30.919 --> 00:15:33.120
was like, oh, thanks,
thanks fellows. You know I was I

158
00:15:33.200 --> 00:15:35.799
was doing this same movie last semester, and I just had a sea of

159
00:15:37.159 --> 00:15:43.840
like atrophied faces. And the guys
were like, well, you know,

160
00:15:45.120 --> 00:15:50.679
on they could be in prison,
right to pay attention. Tony wants to

161
00:15:50.679 --> 00:15:54.039
know do I watch them dubbed or
in Japanese? Because I watched it with

162
00:15:54.120 --> 00:15:58.120
the kids for the first time.
I watched it dubbed, but they I

163
00:15:58.120 --> 00:16:02.960
mean, we have titles on all
the time, so I'm not necessarily against

164
00:16:02.960 --> 00:16:06.519
that. But there's a seven year
old, so I figured it's probably better

165
00:16:06.559 --> 00:16:10.919
that he could understand it as well. Oh man, I'll tell you a

166
00:16:11.039 --> 00:16:15.279
moment of dubbed anime that caused me
some confusion. I feel like I've actually

167
00:16:15.360 --> 00:16:19.559
told this story on the channel,
like a long time ago, but it

168
00:16:19.639 --> 00:16:26.279
bears repeating. So I took my
youngest daughter, and this is when she

169
00:16:26.399 --> 00:16:30.679
was probably five or six years old, to see pom Poco, which I'd

170
00:16:30.720 --> 00:16:34.080
never seen before, and I was
like, oh, it's like fucking raccoons

171
00:16:34.080 --> 00:16:44.240
it's cute. It's like raccoons fighting
against a suburban overdevelopment into their forest.

172
00:16:44.440 --> 00:16:49.200
So we're watching this movie and it's
dubbed, and the theaters full of parents

173
00:16:49.200 --> 00:16:55.360
and kids. And I noticed these
raccoons are always sitting on these like balls.

174
00:16:56.320 --> 00:17:00.240
I'm like, is that their balls? And in the dub they keep

175
00:17:00.279 --> 00:17:07.880
referring to their their raccoon pouches.
I'm just like oys or something. And

176
00:17:07.920 --> 00:17:14.599
then they're they like fly and they
stretch the raccoon pouch out like like glid

177
00:17:14.640 --> 00:17:17.480
wings. And then but you know, I was like, no, that's

178
00:17:17.519 --> 00:17:22.839
their fucking screw. They're flying their
I get home, I look around,

179
00:17:22.839 --> 00:17:26.440
and none of the kids seem bothered. None of the other parents seem bothered.

180
00:17:26.960 --> 00:17:29.000
So I'm like, well, maybe
I'm the only one that sees that

181
00:17:29.119 --> 00:17:34.440
these are these are dangling raccoon balls. And I go home and I google,

182
00:17:34.759 --> 00:17:40.440
you know, the mythology of the
these mystical raccoons in Japan, and

183
00:17:40.519 --> 00:17:44.680
sure enough, they keep all their
magic and their balls. That's what's the

184
00:17:44.759 --> 00:17:52.039
Japanese uh myth of these magic,
magic bald raccoons. I love that you

185
00:17:52.039 --> 00:17:55.400
were already saying that, and Sivener
says and then will googled raccoon balls and

186
00:17:55.480 --> 00:17:59.920
ruined to search history. Literally,
Yes, that's exactly what happened. I

187
00:18:00.200 --> 00:18:07.839
was like the third adjective before balls
that I google just that day. Yeah,

188
00:18:07.880 --> 00:18:11.400
I've always I've always laughed at that
scene where they show them. I

189
00:18:11.400 --> 00:18:17.400
think they're like paratrooping out of a
plane or something. Right, that scene

190
00:18:17.880 --> 00:18:22.319
is played everywhere. I love that
gosh. Yeah, and that's that is

191
00:18:22.400 --> 00:18:26.000
kind of what I was leading up
to. JJ is that Miyazaki's The Boy

192
00:18:26.039 --> 00:18:30.359
in the Heron is getting a wide
release date this week, and if you

193
00:18:30.400 --> 00:18:33.799
are into it, this is the
kind of thing that you probably should give

194
00:18:33.839 --> 00:18:37.240
some time to go support in the
theater. It's really damn cool to see

195
00:18:37.240 --> 00:18:41.200
stuff like this get a wide release. And I know everybody everywhere is all

196
00:18:41.240 --> 00:18:45.279
over God'szilla minus one, which is
great. Keep supporting that as well.

197
00:18:45.359 --> 00:18:48.000
Nothing against it, but man,
the Boy in the Heron is not going

198
00:18:48.000 --> 00:18:52.559
to get nearly as much play as
it probably should coming from a brilliant mind

199
00:18:52.599 --> 00:18:56.359
like Miyazaki. Well, speaking of
wide release, make sure you're prepared for

200
00:18:56.400 --> 00:19:07.480
that. Heron's kloeca. I think. So last thing I really wanted to

201
00:19:07.519 --> 00:19:14.680
highlight before we go into the announcements
for the week. Obviously we are very

202
00:19:14.759 --> 00:19:18.319
much preaching to the choir with this, and I didn't even prepare will for

203
00:19:18.359 --> 00:19:21.519
this, So I'm not sure if
you saw it, but early this week,

204
00:19:21.599 --> 00:19:26.119
and actually I think it started Friday
after last week's show, Sony came

205
00:19:26.160 --> 00:19:30.000
out and started sending emails to everybody
that they were going to be removing Discovery

206
00:19:30.039 --> 00:19:37.119
content from people's Sony Digital accounts that
they had purchased, not rented, not

207
00:19:37.279 --> 00:19:44.559
downloaded, but purchased. And obviously
everybody watching this you probably know that physical

208
00:19:44.599 --> 00:19:48.240
media is the way to go for
the most part. Just a reminder that

209
00:19:48.759 --> 00:19:52.680
these are the stories that are coming
out that are going to make people turn

210
00:19:52.839 --> 00:19:57.039
away from streaming. On top of
all the raising prices, on top of

211
00:19:57.079 --> 00:20:03.160
all of the libraries getting thrashed about, on top of people, you know,

212
00:20:03.240 --> 00:20:07.960
seeing the films that they had saved
in their list just disappear because it's

213
00:20:08.000 --> 00:20:11.480
no longer on any services. This
is the kind of thing when somebody thinks

214
00:20:11.480 --> 00:20:17.200
they've paid for something and it just
disappears from their accounts. This is where

215
00:20:17.400 --> 00:20:21.759
you can step in and be not
to make a pun out of the name

216
00:20:21.799 --> 00:20:26.440
of this, but you can be
the physical media advocate and say, listen,

217
00:20:26.599 --> 00:20:27.920
I can help you get set up. Do you have a DVD player?

218
00:20:27.920 --> 00:20:30.799
Do you have a Blu ray player? Do you want tips on the

219
00:20:30.799 --> 00:20:34.160
best one. I know that there's
a lot of stuff that goes behind this

220
00:20:34.440 --> 00:20:37.279
and things that cost a lot of
money, but at the same time,

221
00:20:38.640 --> 00:20:41.880
we should be the ambassadors for the
sort of thing. And genuinely, I

222
00:20:41.880 --> 00:20:45.880
do think that we're going to see
a little bit of a resurgence for some

223
00:20:45.960 --> 00:20:52.000
of this in a month where Oppenheimer
sold out everywhere and they easily sold probably

224
00:20:52.039 --> 00:20:56.759
we don't know the exact number,
but probably fifty thousand, four k copies

225
00:20:56.799 --> 00:21:03.519
of Oppenheimer, which is insanity in
twenty twenty three. Uh And what was

226
00:21:03.519 --> 00:21:11.200
that? A different topic? You're
free to say something. No, I

227
00:21:11.240 --> 00:21:15.200
was gonna talk about Oppenheimer. I'm
about six months too late, but I

228
00:21:15.279 --> 00:21:18.640
saw it. I get it.
But the point the point is this,

229
00:21:19.720 --> 00:21:23.559
what are you down? What do
you buy from Discovery? Like reality shows

230
00:21:23.680 --> 00:21:30.680
or I mean, yeah, that's
that's probably some of it for some people.

231
00:21:30.759 --> 00:21:36.319
But I first off, I don't
think anybody truly knows what all this

232
00:21:36.440 --> 00:21:41.960
covers. Because Discovery famously bought w
B and who knows how that line is

233
00:21:42.000 --> 00:21:48.960
blurred. So that's I mean,
they could get rough w B like Warner

234
00:21:48.960 --> 00:21:53.559
Brothers w B c W no w
B Warner Brothers. Oh ship dude,

235
00:21:53.880 --> 00:22:00.720
Yeah, that's that's not a small
studio, you know. Recently another YouTube

236
00:22:00.880 --> 00:22:04.680
entities said that we had nothing to
worry about with those I think I heard

237
00:22:04.680 --> 00:22:07.599
that, but I wanted to make
sure that people knew that. You know,

238
00:22:07.680 --> 00:22:15.200
there's definitely interested you. There's definitely
some reasons to keep your guard up

239
00:22:15.279 --> 00:22:19.400
and make sure that we are still
preaching the good word. And obviously physical

240
00:22:19.400 --> 00:22:23.640
media is probably never going to go
back to the golden age of like two

241
00:22:23.680 --> 00:22:30.480
thousand and six, when everything was
on DVD you could find yes, snapcases

242
00:22:30.480 --> 00:22:33.799
were everywhere, and Anchor Bay could
get away with, you know, releasing

243
00:22:33.880 --> 00:22:37.640
fifteen covers of the Evil Dead Like, I get that that will never come

244
00:22:37.680 --> 00:22:45.640
back. You'll do that. However, we could do a little bit better

245
00:22:45.799 --> 00:22:56.119
than we've been doing, so hopefully
we get there. Well, yeah,

246
00:22:56.200 --> 00:22:59.240
I was waiting for a sentence to
go. Now that we're past that,

247
00:22:59.319 --> 00:23:00.920
do you want to just go Oppenheimer
for just a second, because I never

248
00:23:00.960 --> 00:23:03.680
went for me the detail on what
I thought because of the whole story.

249
00:23:04.759 --> 00:23:08.680
You know, I posted it.
I posted a joke about Christopher Nolan and

250
00:23:10.000 --> 00:23:14.160
the discord about a week ago,
and then I came back and checked and

251
00:23:14.200 --> 00:23:22.359
there was like eight hundred comments about
the relative merits of different Nolan movies.

252
00:23:22.400 --> 00:23:26.160
I don't want to get that shit
started again. Nolan is contentious for a

253
00:23:26.160 --> 00:23:30.000
lot of film, bro, So
I get it. Well. You know,

254
00:23:30.720 --> 00:23:36.960
I had a bad experience with Oppenheimer, and part of it is not

255
00:23:37.000 --> 00:23:42.359
Oppenheimer's fault, which is something Oppenheimer
doesn't hear too often. It's not your

256
00:23:42.400 --> 00:23:52.160
fault, bro, But I the
reason I went to see it is we

257
00:23:52.240 --> 00:23:56.680
have an Imax near nearby. You
all can just check my address earlier than

258
00:23:56.680 --> 00:24:02.319
the video you can buy out which
theater he went to, and it was

259
00:24:02.359 --> 00:24:03.920
still playing. This is like beginning
in November. I was like, Oh,

260
00:24:03.960 --> 00:24:10.079
it's still playing an Imax. I
should go see it. So I

261
00:24:10.119 --> 00:24:14.119
went to see in the Imax,
and like so many modern imax is,

262
00:24:14.400 --> 00:24:18.480
whoever is running the projector room doesn't
know what they're doing, and they just

263
00:24:18.519 --> 00:24:22.319
cranked the sound up so loud that
it's hard to understand the dialogue. And

264
00:24:22.359 --> 00:24:26.200
then when there's like one of the
many explosion shots, I had to put

265
00:24:26.240 --> 00:24:29.799
my fingers in my ears. I
was the only person in the theater because

266
00:24:29.799 --> 00:24:33.559
it had been out for six months
or whatever, so I kept moving around

267
00:24:33.559 --> 00:24:34.640
trying to get away from the speakers, but there was no way to do

268
00:24:34.680 --> 00:24:37.920
it. So that part of the
movie was not Oppenheimer's fault. But I

269
00:24:37.960 --> 00:24:45.039
tell you the thing that surprised me. I'm not to Craig's point, I'm

270
00:24:45.039 --> 00:24:48.839
not. I don't have an extreme
opinion about no one one way or the

271
00:24:48.880 --> 00:24:56.319
other. I tend not to like
his movies that I've seen, which should

272
00:24:56.359 --> 00:25:00.759
come as no surprise to anybody who's
seen me before. If you like it,

273
00:25:00.799 --> 00:25:04.039
I probably don't, you know.
But the thing that surprised me about

274
00:25:04.039 --> 00:25:10.359
Oppenheimer, having heard so many wonderful
things about it, is how conventional it

275
00:25:10.519 --> 00:25:15.400
was. Like it it was just
to me, it was just another great

276
00:25:15.480 --> 00:25:18.559
man brought down by his own humorous
leaving a trail of broken hearted women in

277
00:25:18.559 --> 00:25:22.319
his wake. And it's like,
I've seen that movie a million times,

278
00:25:25.160 --> 00:25:33.680
so you know, I saw it, and I'm always glad when i'm movie

279
00:25:33.720 --> 00:25:37.240
in a theater is successful, even
if it's projected incorrectly. And I'm even

280
00:25:37.240 --> 00:25:45.799
more happy when the movie is successful
on physical media because a rising mushroom cloud

281
00:25:45.480 --> 00:25:52.680
radiates all boats. Wow, that
might be a great quote to use in

282
00:25:52.720 --> 00:25:56.839
the future. And you know,
we've talked about so many times that the

283
00:25:56.880 --> 00:26:02.920
studios behind these things, they don't
make enough on these releases to really motivate

284
00:26:02.960 --> 00:26:07.640
them to do better. But this
is the exact sort of thing that can

285
00:26:07.799 --> 00:26:12.000
actually change some sort of tide.
And granted, this was like a perfect,

286
00:26:14.200 --> 00:26:19.279
perfect crossing of like three different you
know, possible chances at once,

287
00:26:19.359 --> 00:26:22.720
you know what, the whole Barbenheimer
thing happening, and it being Nolan that

288
00:26:22.759 --> 00:26:25.599
was a part of it. And
then when it came out, it was

289
00:26:25.640 --> 00:26:30.000
a film that Nolan championed in an
interview, So all of those things crossing

290
00:26:30.039 --> 00:26:33.079
it exactly the moment, and suddenly
fifty thousand copies are gone in one week.

291
00:26:33.119 --> 00:26:41.519
That's a big deal. And so
now ay, Nolan's camp actually pushed

292
00:26:41.559 --> 00:26:45.599
Margot Robbie to change the release date
of Barbie and she refused, yep.

293
00:26:45.640 --> 00:26:51.039
So credit to Margot Robbie. Apparently
Nolan had a superstition about June twenty first

294
00:26:51.039 --> 00:26:56.079
and wanted his movie to come out
unopposed, So no credit to Insecure men.

295
00:26:56.599 --> 00:27:03.559
But I'll tell you a movie I
am excited about, Barbenheimer by Full

296
00:27:03.599 --> 00:27:08.319
Moon Entertainment, which is coming out
later this year. That's gonna be awesome.

297
00:27:11.039 --> 00:27:17.559
Anyways, selling fifty thousand copies in
that first week can actually and will

298
00:27:17.640 --> 00:27:22.240
I guarantee you make an actual blip
on Universal's ledger. And that sort of

299
00:27:22.279 --> 00:27:26.599
thing is the thing that they will
look back at the end of this year

300
00:27:26.640 --> 00:27:30.000
and go, what were our major
successes? Oh, that one week was

301
00:27:30.000 --> 00:27:33.279
a shit show because we couldn't keep
this film on the shelves. And so

302
00:27:33.039 --> 00:27:37.039
maybe in the future, maybe we
should actually look forward to other things.

303
00:27:37.079 --> 00:27:42.039
Now we're going to get one hundred
biopics of hubristic men. I mean,

304
00:27:42.400 --> 00:27:48.279
I don't think that's the case.
Yeah, you know, well we'll still

305
00:27:48.319 --> 00:27:49.680
get them, of course, I
don't think that they're going to create them

306
00:27:49.759 --> 00:27:53.519
just because of this. I'm talking
about more physical media. Next year will

307
00:27:53.519 --> 00:28:03.559
be the Andrew Tait story coming to
theaters near you. Uh. Anyways,

308
00:28:03.880 --> 00:28:07.319
that's that bad guy got arrested,
right, yeah, yeah, yeah,

309
00:28:07.720 --> 00:28:14.039
I hubristic men? What what?
What a word? Uh? And speaking

310
00:28:14.079 --> 00:28:18.880
of Andrew Tation, we get started
on announcements. He was like a masklinist

311
00:28:18.039 --> 00:28:21.960
or something. I don't know these
people. I think he's one of those.

312
00:28:22.279 --> 00:28:26.039
Uh yeah, that's probably a good
word for like forcing men to be

313
00:28:26.160 --> 00:28:30.680
manly men. Oh how pathetic these
guys I see. I see that.

314
00:28:30.720 --> 00:28:34.960
I see them all the time about
like, oh, traditional manly values and

315
00:28:36.039 --> 00:28:38.319
all this ship. It's like,
dude, we know you got a little

316
00:28:38.319 --> 00:28:42.400
penis. It's like it's like,
you know, it's like it's like these

317
00:28:42.400 --> 00:28:48.319
guys that driver trucks no muffler on. Like, just to announce, I

318
00:28:48.440 --> 00:28:52.640
hesitate to go down this tangent because
I've gotten literally a bad review on the

319
00:28:52.640 --> 00:28:56.880
podcast for being too political. But
this is too funny to not bring up.

320
00:28:56.240 --> 00:29:00.960
I don't know. I well this
what I'm have to say is I

321
00:29:00.000 --> 00:29:04.200
normally don't watch any of the news
channels or anything, but my wife I

322
00:29:04.240 --> 00:29:08.559
believe it was sent me a news
clip. I don't remember if it was

323
00:29:08.720 --> 00:29:12.720
Fox or CNN or somebody. Uh. They they ran a clip of President

324
00:29:12.759 --> 00:29:18.359
Biden drinking like a coffee or something, and he had a straw and the

325
00:29:18.400 --> 00:29:22.200
only thing that they could point out
was that he was drinking a straw and

326
00:29:22.240 --> 00:29:26.480
it's so tiny and his fingers are
dainty men shouldn't drink out of straws.

327
00:29:26.720 --> 00:29:32.559
What news, pucker lips? How
is that news? Anyways? This is

328
00:29:32.599 --> 00:29:37.400
about this is this is the same. This is the same people that were

329
00:29:37.440 --> 00:29:41.119
trying to get you to pay money
to put u V light on your taint.

330
00:29:41.519 --> 00:29:48.920
Anyways, enough about that, true
and google Tucker Carlson taint. Please

331
00:29:48.960 --> 00:29:55.759
say you don't even have to put
us You don't even have to put the

332
00:29:55.799 --> 00:30:00.119
private browser on that. It will
How many we talk about movies and physical

333
00:30:00.160 --> 00:30:06.440
media? Does that sound? Yeah? You know, Happy holidays everybody.

334
00:30:06.480 --> 00:30:11.319
I'm really glad to be here the
beginning of the holiday season. Happy Hanukkah

335
00:30:11.400 --> 00:30:18.359
and Kwan's of Merry Christmas. We
were gonna Oh, Josephine asked what our

336
00:30:18.440 --> 00:30:25.000
favorite Christmas Rogers? Where we should
start with that? Please do? I

337
00:30:25.039 --> 00:30:29.480
asked you that a long time ago
while you were changing your microphone. I

338
00:30:29.519 --> 00:30:34.200
didn't hear you because I was changing
my microphone. Well, I have to

339
00:30:34.319 --> 00:30:41.480
go with O Henry because he's a
hometown Greensboro, North Carolina boy who who

340
00:30:41.559 --> 00:30:48.039
did prison time for tax evasion and
uh but then uh made a comeback with

341
00:30:48.119 --> 00:30:52.519
the gift of the Magi. That's
my favorite Christmas story. I like Gift

342
00:30:52.599 --> 00:31:02.119
of the Magi. I like I
like it when people suffer and somehow fun

343
00:31:02.160 --> 00:31:03.640
happiness at the end of it.
That's why Martyrs is one of my favorite

344
00:31:03.680 --> 00:31:08.799
date movies. You are on one
today, man, prison left a weird

345
00:31:08.839 --> 00:31:18.079
experience for you the change Man.
Well, let's get into the announcements then,

346
00:31:18.200 --> 00:31:22.519
my friend, we started with OCN
and because it's Partner's only month,

347
00:31:23.720 --> 00:31:30.839
we only have sixteen Partner Label titles
to cover, and this is the start

348
00:31:30.839 --> 00:31:34.799
of them. The first one is
from the Canalog and this is called Charlie

349
00:31:34.880 --> 00:31:40.599
Victor Romeo. And this is from
twenty thirteen. And uh this Uh,

350
00:31:40.880 --> 00:31:44.200
the more and more you read about
this, the more interesting I think this

351
00:31:44.279 --> 00:31:48.559
one looks, this says, it's
a unique and riveting theatrical experience. Charlie

352
00:31:48.640 --> 00:31:55.519
Victor Romeo is a performance documentary derived
entirely from the black Box transcript of six

353
00:31:55.880 --> 00:32:00.720
major real life airline emergencies. Now, what's odd oft this? This is

354
00:32:00.759 --> 00:32:06.160
a three D release, so it
comes and you can play it on a

355
00:32:06.160 --> 00:32:07.839
three D player, or you can
do the whole red and Blue Glasses thing.

356
00:32:08.319 --> 00:32:13.720
But if you watch the trailer,
it is two guys pretending to be

357
00:32:13.799 --> 00:32:21.839
pilots in front of a black curtain. Yeah, this movie combines the hysteria

358
00:32:22.079 --> 00:32:29.559
of going down in a plane with
the hysteria of theatrical acting in three D.

359
00:32:30.160 --> 00:32:32.000
In three D, it's big.
Well, they were inspired by them

360
00:32:32.079 --> 00:32:37.519
Vendor's Penya, this three D ballet
movie. They were like, we should

361
00:32:37.519 --> 00:32:43.839
do a film like that, except
have them sitting down motionless the entire time.

362
00:32:44.599 --> 00:32:46.880
And that's why I'm confused, Like, do we need extra depth of

363
00:32:47.359 --> 00:32:54.200
two men sitting in front of a
curtain. I have to admit I am

364
00:32:54.240 --> 00:33:00.119
intrigued by the concept of this meto. I'm terrified of watching it. As

365
00:33:00.160 --> 00:33:06.640
some listeners will know, I had
a aeronautical mishap on my way to meet

366
00:33:06.759 --> 00:33:09.480
Ryan physically for the first time,
and I have not flown since, and

367
00:33:09.599 --> 00:33:14.279
I'm not looking forward to do it. I still can't believe you refuse to

368
00:33:14.319 --> 00:33:15.960
fly home and you chose to walk. That was such a long journey.

369
00:33:17.000 --> 00:33:22.400
Yeah, well, you know,
I'd always wondered about the very similitude of

370
00:33:22.440 --> 00:33:24.519
that part of Forrest Gump. I
wanted to see if it was possible.

371
00:33:25.680 --> 00:33:30.440
Well, thank goodness you shaved since
then. Yeah, this one, This

372
00:33:30.480 --> 00:33:36.119
one's interesting. Scott a commentary from
the director on here and PBS News Hour

373
00:33:36.440 --> 00:33:40.240
reports on some of these disasters,
which I think is kind of a cool

374
00:33:40.279 --> 00:33:47.119
little bonus feature. But okay,
I like this as a long light as

375
00:33:47.160 --> 00:33:52.599
a long, long time fan of
horror movies, I am afraid to watch

376
00:33:52.680 --> 00:33:57.759
this movie. Well, and that's
the thing Ronnie says. Maybe the three

377
00:33:57.839 --> 00:34:00.279
D is supposed to make it even
more realistic. And my mind when I

378
00:34:00.319 --> 00:34:04.720
first read that this was three D, all I could think was do we

379
00:34:04.799 --> 00:34:07.920
want this to be immersive? Like
that is a terrible word choice to use

380
00:34:07.960 --> 00:34:13.280
with this sort of film, Like
you're really in a twenty five seat theater.

381
00:34:15.239 --> 00:34:17.760
I mean, I'm very interested in
seeing this, probably only once,

382
00:34:17.920 --> 00:34:22.719
but I yeah, this is an
interesting choice. And some of the quotes

383
00:34:22.800 --> 00:34:29.719
used for this are literally like this
is the most terrifying film the quote they

384
00:34:29.800 --> 00:34:34.719
use here. This chilling and groundbreaking
production stretches the boundaries of film, theater,

385
00:34:35.199 --> 00:34:39.679
and the traditional documentary with this stereoscopic
three D film of a stage play

386
00:34:39.960 --> 00:34:46.480
that recreates transcripts word for word.
CVR transports film audiences into the best seats

387
00:34:46.480 --> 00:34:52.039
of the theater and delivers the intensity
and gut wrenching emotion of these emergencies via

388
00:34:52.079 --> 00:34:58.960
the unique approach of live performance.
I tell you, I am intrigued.

389
00:34:59.079 --> 00:35:04.760
It's like Craig just made the exact
comment I was gonna make. Yeah,

390
00:35:04.760 --> 00:35:10.519
it's like what if Faces of Death
were a theatrical performance and only in cockpits?

391
00:35:13.079 --> 00:35:15.519
All right? So that's the release
from the Canalog. Next title is

392
00:35:15.719 --> 00:35:22.280
from Canadian International Pictures and it is
The Dog Who Stopped the War. This

393
00:35:22.360 --> 00:35:27.440
one sounds really great, but I
gotta admit the funniest comment I got was

394
00:35:27.800 --> 00:35:31.360
man, the English language translation of
this film really spoils the movie for you.

395
00:35:31.599 --> 00:35:35.079
I guess you're not supposed to know
that it's a dog who stops the

396
00:35:35.119 --> 00:35:43.599
war. That was supposed to be
a secret the moment the moment this film

397
00:35:44.000 --> 00:35:50.960
was announced. The David Bowie slash
Nirvana Man Who Sold the World song has

398
00:35:51.000 --> 00:35:57.159
been in my head with new parody
lyrics that I've been making up as as

399
00:35:57.199 --> 00:36:00.719
time's going on. Once I'm finished
with the composition and I'll share it with

400
00:36:00.760 --> 00:36:04.679
people. The Dog has Stopped the
War. Well, I gotta say the

401
00:36:04.679 --> 00:36:08.880
trailer for that one looks so cool. I want to watch this one with

402
00:36:08.920 --> 00:36:14.000
my kid. Yeah, and it's
supposed to be very kid friendly. Just

403
00:36:14.039 --> 00:36:17.320
want to highlight that if you want
to download Will's cover version of that Bowie

404
00:36:17.360 --> 00:36:20.559
song, it will be available on
the Patreon by the end of the week,

405
00:36:20.679 --> 00:36:25.440
so sign up with the linkload.
This one was scanned two K from

406
00:36:25.440 --> 00:36:30.840
the original thirty five millimeter OCN.
It has the theatrical cut and the extended

407
00:36:30.840 --> 00:36:36.719
cut in both French and English.
There's a commentary with Kayla Janie and Ralph

408
00:36:36.760 --> 00:36:40.800
Elawani and special guests are on that. There's a feature length documentary celebrating the

409
00:36:40.840 --> 00:36:45.199
film's twenty fifth anniversary from two thousand
and nine, and then some shorts.

410
00:36:45.679 --> 00:36:51.039
We got some new interviews and some
archival interviews, so this is a pretty

411
00:36:51.079 --> 00:36:53.719
extensive release that sounds like a really
fun one. I think what I'll do

412
00:36:53.760 --> 00:37:00.599
for the song is just replace the
vocal with like dog barks, like they

413
00:37:00.599 --> 00:37:07.960
do with Christmas carols, and that'll
be The Dog Stop the War. Oh

414
00:37:08.039 --> 00:37:14.719
man, it's hilarious. Uh.
Carrie Mulligan says The Dog Who Stopped the

415
00:37:14.760 --> 00:37:17.679
War is a sweet film, but
the ending will divide audiences. Interesting does

416
00:37:17.719 --> 00:37:22.760
the war spoiler alert? I bet
I know how it stops the war?

417
00:37:25.280 --> 00:37:30.400
Too many jokes, too many jokes. Craig says, the last two CIP

418
00:37:30.519 --> 00:37:32.440
releases are so far away from mister
Marriott's taste. Someone else had to have

419
00:37:32.440 --> 00:37:39.039
a hand in these choices. Oh, that's funny. Next one up is

420
00:37:39.320 --> 00:37:44.760
from Big World Pictures, and this
one is a double feature of in Bloom

421
00:37:45.239 --> 00:37:46.480
And this is the cover of the
slip for in Bloom, and then the

422
00:37:46.519 --> 00:37:52.559
other one is My Happy Family and
that is the back of the slip Man.

423
00:37:52.039 --> 00:37:55.719
Big Old Pictures is one of those
labels that don't release a whole lot,

424
00:37:55.800 --> 00:38:01.360
but their titles are always at least
in freaking and I really want to

425
00:38:01.440 --> 00:38:06.000
check some of them out, but
I've not watched a single one yet,

426
00:38:06.079 --> 00:38:09.400
and I'm dying to be able to
watch some of these. That's so funny

427
00:38:09.719 --> 00:38:15.159
that in Bloom was next, since
we just referenced Nirvana. But this,

428
00:38:15.159 --> 00:38:21.840
this one I ordered immediately on announcement
day. In part was really fascinated by

429
00:38:21.960 --> 00:38:27.920
Georgian cinema. Not Atlanta, Georgia, but the country Georgia. And now,

430
00:38:28.000 --> 00:38:31.039
I mean, the Walking Dead's been
but Georgian. I thought you were

431
00:38:31.039 --> 00:38:37.920
a big man than Tyler Perry.
No, I mean, yeah, but

432
00:38:39.719 --> 00:38:46.199
Georgia about fifteen years ago, I
saw this documentary called Power Trip, and

433
00:38:46.239 --> 00:38:52.559
it was a documentary about the difficulty
that Georgia was having with its electrical grid

434
00:38:52.239 --> 00:38:58.679
and essentially, I mean and the
footage of how buildings were being wired will

435
00:38:58.760 --> 00:39:04.679
like scare the sh it out of
you, like power strips connected to each

436
00:39:04.719 --> 00:39:12.159
other and powering entire like apartment and
what was going on, of course you'll

437
00:39:12.199 --> 00:39:16.880
be shocked to know is that an
American company had swooped in after the collapse

438
00:39:16.880 --> 00:39:24.119
of the Soviet Union and was and
was gouging uh, the Georgian government money

439
00:39:24.159 --> 00:39:28.039
everything, and then as things started
to fall apart, they pulled out.

440
00:39:28.280 --> 00:39:32.239
And guess who swooped in to save
the day? I wonder who Russia?

441
00:39:32.880 --> 00:39:38.920
And guests who is now kind of
a supportive flunky flunky state of the of

442
00:39:39.000 --> 00:39:46.760
Russia right now Georgia. So there's
all these like economic things that ties America

443
00:39:46.800 --> 00:39:55.599
and Georgia and Russia together that has
a consequence to what's going on right now

444
00:39:55.719 --> 00:40:02.119
with the with the war against Ukraine. And what does that have to do

445
00:40:02.199 --> 00:40:08.519
with in bloom and and my happy
family. Well, what I'm interested in

446
00:40:08.639 --> 00:40:13.840
is just seeing write the stories that
are being told during this period of time,

447
00:40:13.920 --> 00:40:19.280
right, These are set in the
early nineties when Georgia had just become

448
00:40:19.320 --> 00:40:23.199
independent and there was all this like
hope and energy and everything. But these

449
00:40:23.239 --> 00:40:30.760
films were made in twenty thirteen,
twenty seventeen, after you know, the

450
00:40:30.800 --> 00:40:36.039
filmmakers knew, you know, what
was actually going to come. Now,

451
00:40:36.039 --> 00:40:40.519
I see this designer is rushing me
along, and I'm like, I don't

452
00:40:40.599 --> 00:40:46.079
know if you've seen me on this
show before, but that's that's not really

453
00:40:46.119 --> 00:40:53.559
my bag, you know, like
I ramble and John Peters is right,

454
00:40:53.639 --> 00:40:59.679
Yeah, we do the same thing
to our own states. Well that's the

455
00:40:59.719 --> 00:41:04.960
free Well just like Will is talking
about George's remember, for Will's sake,

456
00:41:05.000 --> 00:41:12.599
there is no Russian. Yeah,
no Russian, No Russians in this show.

457
00:41:14.840 --> 00:41:17.480
Next up is King on screening the
documentary from this year. This is

458
00:41:17.519 --> 00:41:22.559
coming out from Dark Star Pictures,
and I nothing against this. Obviously I

459
00:41:22.639 --> 00:41:27.159
had the gentleman from Dark Star Pictures
on the channel, so I'm not This

460
00:41:27.320 --> 00:41:30.360
is very careful criticism the back of
the slip cover. This is so much

461
00:41:30.400 --> 00:41:34.239
better. I feel like this absolutely
should have been the cover. Man.

462
00:41:34.239 --> 00:41:37.639
I thought you were come with some
devastating criticus. No isn't that so much

463
00:41:37.679 --> 00:41:42.960
better the front of it? Like, Okay, I get it's Stephen King

464
00:41:43.000 --> 00:41:45.079
and he's famous and whatever, but
god, the back is so much better.

465
00:41:46.920 --> 00:41:52.159
Well, I think, I think, you know, in life and

466
00:41:52.199 --> 00:42:01.119
in romance, it's always a pleasant
surprise when the back is better. On

467
00:42:01.199 --> 00:42:07.760
that note, this is a documentary
about Stephen King. This says King on

468
00:42:07.800 --> 00:42:10.039
Screen, pulls back the curtain and
offers an intimate sit down with the filmmakers

469
00:42:10.079 --> 00:42:15.320
who brought king stories to life.
On this we have a making of a

470
00:42:15.360 --> 00:42:20.360
first trailer, a seventy seven minute
version of the film. The entire release

471
00:42:20.400 --> 00:42:23.400
is one hundred and five minutes,
so that one's interesting. There is a

472
00:42:23.440 --> 00:42:30.239
deleted shot from the intro very specifically
one shot photo gallery behind the scenes,

473
00:42:30.280 --> 00:42:37.280
and then long commentary of the intro
interesting, and a making of shooting in

474
00:42:37.320 --> 00:42:43.440
the main intro. Yes, not
a whole lot on the disc other than

475
00:42:43.519 --> 00:42:50.880
the film. I mean a shorter
version of the film. Ooh, okay,

476
00:42:50.880 --> 00:42:53.639
I'm in Like, if you're in
a rush, you're like, I

477
00:42:53.679 --> 00:42:57.760
really need to see what's up with
Stephen King adaptations, Then you can just

478
00:42:57.800 --> 00:43:02.519
watch the seventy seven minim version.
Next up is from Yellowveil Pictures and they

479
00:43:02.519 --> 00:43:09.840
are putting out Lady World And this
one had a previous release semi recently a

480
00:43:09.840 --> 00:43:15.199
few years ago, from another label. The big thing is this has a

481
00:43:15.239 --> 00:43:20.880
pretty decent name draw in this of
Maya Hawk, and she's gotten pretty big

482
00:43:20.960 --> 00:43:24.840
after her Strange Stranger Things appearance.
I think she's a main character now.

483
00:43:25.159 --> 00:43:30.239
But yeah, this will probably do
much better now that they are on Yellow

484
00:43:30.320 --> 00:43:32.360
Veil. And the big thing is
that first release did not have many,

485
00:43:32.480 --> 00:43:38.840
if it had any special features.
And this one is from twenty eighteen and

486
00:43:38.840 --> 00:43:43.760
it says eight teenage girls are trapped
at an endless birthday party after a massive

487
00:43:43.800 --> 00:43:47.840
earthquake. When one goes inexplicably missing, a menacing power struggle takes hold.

488
00:43:49.159 --> 00:43:53.320
Then rumors of a male prowler pushed
the girl's fragile psyches even further into a

489
00:43:53.360 --> 00:44:00.639
series of strange rituals and fierce delirium. I'm not seeing the one and this

490
00:44:00.719 --> 00:44:07.519
sounds really interesting. Well, I
saw some rave comments by Sam Deagan,

491
00:44:07.920 --> 00:44:12.119
who, by the way, also
just not like Oppenheimer. We are the

492
00:44:12.159 --> 00:44:22.119
same she and I, so I
guess I'm right. But anyway, there

493
00:44:22.159 --> 00:44:28.239
were some there were some rave reviews
by Sam Deagan and by I want to

494
00:44:28.280 --> 00:44:30.840
say, Alexandra Heller Nicholas. Oh, she wrote an essay too. Yeah.

495
00:44:31.280 --> 00:44:36.880
So I watched the trailer and was
like, hmm, but then I

496
00:44:36.960 --> 00:44:42.880
read these rave comments. I was
like, so I think I might h

497
00:44:43.679 --> 00:44:49.119
check it out. What a walk
down that path. This one is gonna

498
00:44:49.159 --> 00:44:52.559
have five deleted scenes, an alternate
opening scene, a commentary track with Amanda

499
00:44:52.639 --> 00:44:57.840
Kramer and the co writer and editor
Benjamin Shearen, a rejected teaser, and

500
00:44:57.880 --> 00:45:01.239
a trailer. Uh, there is
Amanda Kramer. They did the debut feature

501
00:45:01.239 --> 00:45:06.360
film Paris Window, the trailer for
that film, and then a short film

502
00:45:06.400 --> 00:45:09.400
called Bark, a short film called
Intervene, and a written essay by Alexandre

503
00:45:09.480 --> 00:45:14.199
Heller Nicholas. There is a lot
in this release, way more than that

504
00:45:14.280 --> 00:45:21.400
last movie we just looked at.
Yeah. Speaking of Sam Dean, I

505
00:45:21.400 --> 00:45:25.079
just found out today I'm appearing on
a podcast with her later in twenty twenty

506
00:45:25.119 --> 00:45:30.639
four talking about a deaf crocodile film. And I can't wait. Oh that's

507
00:45:30.639 --> 00:45:40.840
cool. What podcast? I probably
shouldn't not yet. Next up is Saturn's

508
00:45:40.840 --> 00:45:49.920
Core. Huh, Well, now
you have to make the joke. No,

509
00:45:50.000 --> 00:45:52.639
I was just gonna guess the most
like ludicrous what it could be?

510
00:45:57.320 --> 00:46:01.480
What in your mind, what's the
most ludicrous one. I don't know.

511
00:46:01.639 --> 00:46:09.920
I want to hear it. I
want it's a cereal yes' on the True

512
00:46:09.920 --> 00:46:16.960
Cry podcast. Cereal. That's it. Uh. Saturn's Core released a catalog

513
00:46:17.079 --> 00:46:22.239
slipcover. I think this is the
first label that's a partner label to do

514
00:46:22.360 --> 00:46:27.039
this. They put out another slipcover
for Mail Order Murder, the documentary on

515
00:46:27.159 --> 00:46:30.440
Wave Productions, and they show the
other side for like two seconds and then

516
00:46:30.440 --> 00:46:37.719
flip back because there's animated or not
animated hand drawn nipples and boobs. Here

517
00:46:37.760 --> 00:46:42.119
we go. That's it, Okay, back on this side. Do you

518
00:46:42.119 --> 00:46:51.039
know what's fun? That slipcover cost
almost as much as a Wave Production film.

519
00:46:51.119 --> 00:46:52.760
You know, I wasn't gonna say
much. I love that. I

520
00:46:52.800 --> 00:46:57.320
love this documentary, So if you're
interested, you should definitely buy the documentary.

521
00:46:57.639 --> 00:47:04.119
But I do find odd that Vinegar
Syndrome lowered the price of their slip

522
00:47:04.159 --> 00:47:07.000
covers in this last sale that they
just had from eight dollars to seven dollars,

523
00:47:07.599 --> 00:47:12.400
but the Saturn's Core one is nine
dollars. Well, have you noticed

524
00:47:12.440 --> 00:47:17.719
that the Saturn's Core discs are a
little bit more expensive. Yeah, for

525
00:47:19.119 --> 00:47:22.239
the subscriber price is a little more
expensive lately. First I thought it was

526
00:47:22.280 --> 00:47:25.800
because of them having double features,
but then I was like, no,

527
00:47:25.840 --> 00:47:30.239
they always have double features. He
has been doing double discs, though,

528
00:47:30.280 --> 00:47:34.559
which would raise the price. I
don't know if the last few have been

529
00:47:34.599 --> 00:47:37.280
like that, but I know the
ones that are double disc that he definitely

530
00:47:37.320 --> 00:47:40.039
charges a little bit more. Yeah, i'd have to check that's not a

531
00:47:40.119 --> 00:47:45.000
slam. I think, especially these
last few releases, Saturn's Score has been

532
00:47:45.000 --> 00:47:50.599
putting out some really intriguing stuff,
and yeah, the increased prices is noticeable,

533
00:47:50.599 --> 00:47:53.599
but not like a deal breaker.
Saturn's Core has kind of been like

534
00:47:55.840 --> 00:47:59.360
I don't even know what to say, like spreading their wings a little bit

535
00:47:59.400 --> 00:48:01.000
compared to what they were doing for
so long, and it's it's kind of

536
00:48:01.079 --> 00:48:05.320
nice to see there's a lot more
stuff that's in the vein of what they've

537
00:48:05.320 --> 00:48:10.159
been doing that's not just one genre
of like trashy fake blood, and it's

538
00:48:10.239 --> 00:48:13.639
nice to see them, you know, flexing that at least a little bit.

539
00:48:15.039 --> 00:48:16.920
Sorry about the nipples theyre Runnie,
I'll work on that for next time.

540
00:48:20.599 --> 00:48:29.000
Go ahead, No, I say
something nipping, but well, let

541
00:48:29.079 --> 00:48:30.559
go let's go to the next one. Let's go to the next one and

542
00:48:30.679 --> 00:48:36.880
talk about some deaf crocodile. Craig
in the chat by all means, share

543
00:48:36.920 --> 00:48:40.000
anything you'd like us to know about
this. This title is The Mysterious Castle

544
00:48:40.039 --> 00:48:45.440
and the Carpathians from nineteen eighty one. Really intriguing slipcover on this one.

545
00:48:46.800 --> 00:48:51.519
Love the style of this. This
looks great. It says you go ahead,

546
00:48:51.519 --> 00:48:53.679
you know, you know what.
I appreciate it. The back has

547
00:48:53.719 --> 00:48:59.400
its own identity, but it doesn't
overshadow the front. Yeah, you know.

548
00:48:59.519 --> 00:49:02.199
And that's that's the kind of attention
to detail that deaf crocodile is known

549
00:49:02.239 --> 00:49:10.599
for. I am a little disappointed
to see zero cats. Maybe maybe that's

550
00:49:10.599 --> 00:49:15.559
the big twist. The cat shows
up two thirds through to save Christmas or

551
00:49:15.639 --> 00:49:21.000
stop the war. I dig it. I messed it up of the cat

552
00:49:21.039 --> 00:49:30.159
Pathians. Oh man, it's a
perfect mystery. John Spinkmeyer designed gadgets throughout

553
00:49:30.199 --> 00:49:37.239
the film. That's interesting. Yeah, dude. If anybody wants to uh

554
00:49:38.239 --> 00:49:49.679
get a taste of sort of Terry
Gilliam esque filmmaker with with similar humors,

555
00:49:50.320 --> 00:49:53.519
similar sense of humor. This is
this is the way to go for sure?

556
00:49:54.320 --> 00:49:58.559
Oh, Terry Gilliams actually mentioned and
that I did not know that doubt

557
00:50:00.119 --> 00:50:02.800
read the description. Yeah, okay, well good, that means we thought

558
00:50:04.199 --> 00:50:08.079
we thought the same. This one
says. A unique and almost indescribable mix

559
00:50:08.239 --> 00:50:15.079
of gothic fiction, steampunk, gadget
tree slapstick comedy and romantic opera. I

560
00:50:15.119 --> 00:50:19.440
mean, that's a lot of interesting
ideas right there, slapped into what already

561
00:50:20.000 --> 00:50:24.480
director Old Fitch Lipski's wonderful, Wonderfully
Bonker's Delight has elements of The Fearless Vampire

562
00:50:24.519 --> 00:50:30.079
Killers, Terry gilliam Melbrooks and The
Benny Hill Show. Based on an eighteen

563
00:50:30.119 --> 00:50:34.639
ninety two Jules Verne novel, The
Carpathian Castle, the film follows Count Teleki

564
00:50:34.800 --> 00:50:38.400
of to Loko that was probably mispronounced
terribly on the trail of the Count's Lost

565
00:50:38.400 --> 00:50:45.079
Lover opera singer Salzevere the only to
discover she's been abducted by fiendish Baron gork

566
00:50:45.199 --> 00:50:50.360
of Gorkony, whose castle home is
filled with the bizarre inventions of mad scientist

567
00:50:50.760 --> 00:51:00.079
Orphanic. I feel like I just
had a stroke there. Ancient pick So,

568
00:51:00.360 --> 00:51:01.960
speaking of movies, involving cats.
There's another cat movie which I won't

569
00:51:02.000 --> 00:51:07.000
name, but I hope to see
it released or announced next year. Yeah,

570
00:51:07.039 --> 00:51:10.039
this one sounds wild. We've got
a new restoration by mister Craig in

571
00:51:10.079 --> 00:51:15.280
the Chat. New video interview with
the Czech film critic and screenwriter Teresa Bittshova

572
00:51:15.559 --> 00:51:22.400
and her father. That's interesting.
New essay Why a new essay by expert

573
00:51:22.400 --> 00:51:29.079
on Central and Eastern European cinema Jonathan
Owen. New commentary by the Teresa name

574
00:51:29.119 --> 00:51:32.599
that I mentioned, And check film
expert Rina Kovarova of Comeback Company, two

575
00:51:32.639 --> 00:51:38.480
Erie and Beautiful Animated Short Films and
Blu Ray. Authoring by Fidelity in Motion

576
00:51:38.760 --> 00:51:45.320
as usual. Yeah. Well,
those of us who supported the kickstarter already

577
00:51:45.320 --> 00:51:50.559
have it, and I got to
tell you it's awesome. There was not

578
00:51:50.639 --> 00:51:52.239
a kickstarter for this one, just
so oh wait, what am I thinking

579
00:51:52.239 --> 00:51:54.239
of? Oh no, no,
no, no, visitors from the Arcana

580
00:51:54.360 --> 00:51:59.280
Galaxy. Yeah, yeah, no, no, no, I confused him.

581
00:51:59.679 --> 00:52:06.039
I have already ordered a serious castle
in from the from the first day

582
00:52:06.079 --> 00:52:15.960
of partner label mon Oh excuse me. Next title is Queen of Earth from

583
00:52:15.239 --> 00:52:22.840
twenty fifteen, and this is the
first film from new partner label IFC Films.

584
00:52:23.559 --> 00:52:30.400
This is an Alice Ap sorry Alex
Ross Perry title, and this one

585
00:52:30.480 --> 00:52:36.639
looks interesting. This one stars Elizabeth
Moss, I believe and IFC Films.

586
00:52:36.679 --> 00:52:39.039
If you don't know anything about I've
seen their blurb on the Vinegar Syndrome site

587
00:52:39.159 --> 00:52:43.599
says established in two thousand and based
in New York City, I have SEE

588
00:52:43.599 --> 00:52:47.599
Films as a leading US distributor of
independent film. Its unique distribution model makes

589
00:52:47.639 --> 00:52:52.840
independent films available to a national audience
by releasing them in theaters as well as

590
00:52:52.880 --> 00:52:58.639
on VOD. Partnered with OCNIFC will
release new titles on home video and revisit

591
00:52:58.760 --> 00:53:04.320
past favorites in brand additions, with
many making their HD physical media debuts.

592
00:53:07.920 --> 00:53:10.920
Yeah. I watched the trailer for
this, and I got to say,

593
00:53:12.400 --> 00:53:19.519
as we continue through the oceans,
this month is White Girls Going Crazy month

594
00:53:19.599 --> 00:53:27.679
for the partner labels around the world
too. But but this looks pretty intriguing.

595
00:53:27.719 --> 00:53:30.840
I watched the trailer. I had
not heard of this movie, which

596
00:53:30.840 --> 00:53:39.920
I thought was surprising given the relative
visibility of the cast and Perry. So

597
00:53:39.960 --> 00:53:45.679
this this one slipped through my radar, which admittedly is spotty, as people

598
00:53:45.679 --> 00:53:52.159
have pointed out in the discord,
there are major blind spots am I in

599
00:53:52.239 --> 00:53:58.599
my film viewing, but this is
something I definitely want to see. Yeah,

600
00:53:58.679 --> 00:54:01.480
yeah, this looks very very very
good. Well, a speech with

601
00:54:01.559 --> 00:54:07.679
Lady World there you Go sounds horrible. There's a brand new audio commentary with

602
00:54:07.800 --> 00:54:12.639
Alex ross Perry in this, and
then Sean Price Williams, the cinematographers in

603
00:54:12.679 --> 00:54:15.719
there, and the actress Harry Neff
or Harry Nef a new interview with the

604
00:54:15.760 --> 00:54:21.199
composer, audio commentary from twenty sixteen
with Alex ross Perry, and then a

605
00:54:21.400 --> 00:54:25.159
video conversation from twenty twenty one with
Alex ross Perry and Catherine Watterson behind the

606
00:54:25.199 --> 00:54:29.760
scenes, and then a new video
essay by Sam Degan on this with a

607
00:54:29.800 --> 00:54:34.119
booklet with an essay by Alexander Heller
Nicholas got him both on the same release.

608
00:54:34.159 --> 00:54:39.960
That's pretty dangos, right, simoners
amazed that they chose this as their

609
00:54:40.000 --> 00:54:44.719
premier title, and yeah, I
agree. Moss is a pretty dang great

610
00:54:44.760 --> 00:54:50.719
actor. Did you ever see The
Invisible Man from twenty twenty? I did?

611
00:54:51.400 --> 00:54:53.519
What'd you think of that one?
I liked it and I was really

612
00:54:53.519 --> 00:54:57.760
glad I went by myself and not
with my wife, because I feel like

613
00:55:00.119 --> 00:55:07.960
her entire life would have welled up
and and the rage would have come out

614
00:55:07.960 --> 00:55:14.920
on me. Chris for a good
reason. I was very impressed with The

615
00:55:14.960 --> 00:55:19.960
Invisible Man. I thought it,
you know, it's it's it. It

616
00:55:20.000 --> 00:55:25.320
wasn't being subtle with its analogy,
but it was being pretty accurate about how,

617
00:55:25.440 --> 00:55:31.679
you know, gaslighting and and all
that work. Uh and uh yeah,

618
00:55:31.719 --> 00:55:37.119
really what I like? Uh it
was very tense and well put together.

619
00:55:37.559 --> 00:55:42.760
And that's a James One movie,
right. Uh No, Lee one

620
00:55:42.920 --> 00:55:46.280
L the other one, the other
guy. Yeah. Yeah. I was

621
00:55:46.360 --> 00:55:53.119
like, Oh, this guy's a
actual filmmaker. That's pretty good. Yes,

622
00:55:53.280 --> 00:55:57.519
Lee one L is pretty ain't good. I loved it. I'm gonna

623
00:55:57.519 --> 00:56:00.840
go yeah, I'm going with I
loved it. Oh man, that's a

624
00:56:00.840 --> 00:56:07.639
good segue to can scrap Book.
Jesus Christ. Next title is Saturn's Core

625
00:56:08.039 --> 00:56:15.679
releasing Scrapbook from nineteen ninety nine,
which Mann does this one look wild.

626
00:56:15.079 --> 00:56:21.760
Scrapbook is about Leonard, who is
a depraved serial killer who is documenting his

627
00:56:21.840 --> 00:56:25.599
atrocities by keeping a scrap book of
the torment he inflicts, forcing each of

628
00:56:25.599 --> 00:56:34.519
his victims to personally chronicle their horrific
ordeal within the pages before experiencing their grim

629
00:56:34.599 --> 00:56:37.960
demise. When he abducts Clara,
she too must unwillingly add her suffering to

630
00:56:38.000 --> 00:56:42.760
the pages of the book. Filthy, Naked, Entrapped amidst that decaying remains

631
00:56:42.760 --> 00:56:46.119
a previous victims, Clara is repeatedly
beaten, raped, starved, and humiliated

632
00:56:46.440 --> 00:56:52.079
by her unhinged captor. She soon
realizes that her only hope for survival is

633
00:56:52.119 --> 00:56:55.280
to manipulate Leonard through her writing,
by authoring a final and cunning chapter to

634
00:56:55.360 --> 00:57:00.039
his macabre and cherished compendium of horrors. Now, I've not seen Scrapbook,

635
00:57:00.079 --> 00:57:05.400
but everybody that's been talking about it
says this is a very like August Underground

636
00:57:05.599 --> 00:57:09.440
esque type of title. It's a
tough watch. But and here's what I'm

637
00:57:09.480 --> 00:57:13.079
talking about. This is not a
double disc release, am I right?

638
00:57:15.000 --> 00:57:20.320
I don't remember it. But it
is a little it's a couple of bucks

639
00:57:20.360 --> 00:57:25.480
more than usual, So again,
not a deal breaker. Really, the

640
00:57:25.519 --> 00:57:30.239
movie is the deal breaker you got
you really think about it before you decign

641
00:57:30.320 --> 00:57:34.599
to get this one, because it's
it's it's a tough watch. Have you

642
00:57:34.599 --> 00:57:39.000
seen this one previously? Yeah?
Yeah, interesting, Yeah, it's intense.

643
00:57:39.079 --> 00:57:45.840
I mean, you know, if
one we're inclined, you could you

644
00:57:45.840 --> 00:57:49.519
could, you could put together a
group of friends and watch it and have

645
00:57:49.559 --> 00:57:52.639
a pretty robust debate over the movie
itself. But also, you know,

646
00:57:52.679 --> 00:57:59.719
this is two thousand and two thousand
and one, the last twenty some years

647
00:58:00.079 --> 00:58:05.440
in scrapbook. What's what's changed,
what's the same, et cetera. It's

648
00:58:05.480 --> 00:58:16.119
a it's a it's a troubling but
an impressive film movie. Whatever. Yeah,

649
00:58:16.159 --> 00:58:20.440
this one, this one looks harrowing. First of all, this has

650
00:58:20.440 --> 00:58:23.599
a brand new commentary by the director, archival commentary track, a new twenty

651
00:58:23.599 --> 00:58:30.000
twenty three retrospective documentary that is going
to feature interviews with the director and actress,

652
00:58:30.199 --> 00:58:34.519
and archival documentary from two thousand and
five deleted scene behind the scenes.

653
00:58:35.679 --> 00:58:38.679
There's a lot going into this release, and it looks like a really really

654
00:58:38.719 --> 00:58:44.199
solid release for this. I'll tell
you, Emily Hack, I don't know.

655
00:58:44.199 --> 00:58:50.760
I hope that Google did she.
I don't think she entered the industry,

656
00:58:50.800 --> 00:59:00.400
did she? Because but she's I
don't think so. Of course I

657
00:59:00.440 --> 00:59:02.639
had to click away. Next title
of skateboard. This one is coming from

658
00:59:02.719 --> 00:59:07.760
Factory twenty five. Oh no,
she's in the industry. Shoot. Well,

659
00:59:08.119 --> 00:59:13.920
oh shit, she was born in
Saint Louis. Buddy. Interesting.

660
00:59:14.039 --> 00:59:17.880
I wonder if this was the Springfield
title that he was talking about. Well,

661
00:59:20.880 --> 00:59:25.280
yeah, all very low budget independent
films. Oh, she's in Savage

662
00:59:25.280 --> 00:59:30.320
Harvest too, October Blood. I
think that is the title that Ross was

663
00:59:30.320 --> 00:59:34.320
talking about last time. Then he
was saying that he was I think he

664
00:59:34.360 --> 00:59:37.840
had interviews in Springfield, and I
think Savage. I think Savage Hard,

665
00:59:38.079 --> 00:59:45.559
Savage Harvest and the sequel were both
done in Springfield. Next one is Skateboard.

666
00:59:45.599 --> 00:59:50.679
Like I said from Factory twenty five, this was recently a kickstarter title

667
00:59:50.679 --> 00:59:54.480
for them, and it like barely
lipped towards the goal in the last day.

668
00:59:54.519 --> 00:59:58.360
So I'm glad to see that this
is getting a release. And the

669
00:59:58.400 --> 01:00:01.760
slipcover looks magnet. This looks really
good. Side. Both sides are good.

670
01:00:02.039 --> 01:00:05.599
And you know what, I can't
wait to do a double feature of

671
01:00:05.639 --> 01:00:09.960
this and Roller Boogie. You know
roller Boogie Mark l Lester, Yeah,

672
01:00:10.000 --> 01:00:15.840
with the Linda Blair. That shit's
crazy good. Yeah. And some people

673
01:00:17.039 --> 01:00:21.719
might have expected me to do skateboard
and my Lord's a Dogtown or something.

674
01:00:22.159 --> 01:00:25.039
Nah, I'm doing Roller boogie.
I Want, I Want. The era

675
01:00:28.719 --> 01:00:32.480
makes perfect sense to me. This
one is from seventy eight and it's going

676
01:00:32.559 --> 01:00:36.840
to have a brand new restoration.
In the movie interview with the director George

677
01:00:37.039 --> 01:00:40.599
Gage, a commentary from twenty ten, and then a twenty four page booklet

678
01:00:40.840 --> 01:00:45.440
with Tony Alvis nineteen seventy eight skateboard
glossary that was written in seventy eight,

679
01:00:45.559 --> 01:00:50.360
and then essays by the director and
Jenny Gage, the director of all this

680
01:00:50.440 --> 01:00:53.400
panic. So this one looks pretty
dang fun. I want to issue a

681
01:00:53.480 --> 01:01:00.159
challenge to the chat. I want
as many of you as are able to

682
01:01:00.039 --> 01:01:08.679
get skateboard and over the next few
months, start introducing nineteen seventy eight skateboard

683
01:01:08.719 --> 01:01:19.480
glossary terms into the chats. Each
week, create a new dialect that combines

684
01:01:20.360 --> 01:01:25.519
the twenty twenty three text speak of
millennial and post millennials with nineteen seventy eight

685
01:01:25.679 --> 01:01:34.519
skateboard slang. That's what I want
to see. That's awesome, it will

686
01:01:34.559 --> 01:01:37.760
be I think I believe that some
people are going to do it. I'm

687
01:01:37.800 --> 01:01:43.039
doing I'm committing, I'm going to
do it. We'll see will next month

688
01:01:43.039 --> 01:01:50.480
if he gets it on time.
Yeah. Next title is from Umbrella and

689
01:01:50.519 --> 01:01:55.840
we get nineteen eighty eight's Sons of
Steel and man has this has one of

690
01:01:55.880 --> 01:02:01.440
the wildest I don't know, we
call it still images on their site promoting

691
01:02:01.480 --> 01:02:07.039
the film. Now see here's one
where the front and the back make good

692
01:02:07.159 --> 01:02:10.920
use of the back. You want
to see that again? Will Yeah?

693
01:02:12.000 --> 01:02:14.920
Both the front of the back make
good use of the back. That's yes,

694
01:02:15.280 --> 01:02:20.480
I agree, this is awesome.
This one says the nuttiest, wildest,

695
01:02:20.519 --> 01:02:23.480
most utterly insane science fiction, time
traveling rock opera, eco terrorist action

696
01:02:23.599 --> 01:02:28.719
film Australia has ever produced. If
you're a fan of adjectives, you'll probably

697
01:02:28.760 --> 01:02:34.280
like this movie. This one also
has the alternate open gate feature presentation in

698
01:02:34.480 --> 01:02:38.039
HD. The making of MTV goes
to the Australian premiere access all areas.

699
01:02:39.039 --> 01:02:44.280
Sons of Steel destroys the movie,
show short film, a music video,

700
01:02:44.320 --> 01:02:49.599
another music video, and a trailer, plus a printed comic book. This

701
01:02:49.760 --> 01:02:57.639
sounds pretty d oh man. I
wonder if it's Kurt Loder nineteen eighty eight.

702
01:02:58.159 --> 01:03:05.159
That'd be awesome, that'd be that
should be pretty close. Paul says,

703
01:03:05.199 --> 01:03:07.000
I quite like that cover. The
original Umbrella local release on the Beyond

704
01:03:07.039 --> 01:03:12.159
Genres line. Yeah, Sons of
Steel has gotten a few releases over the

705
01:03:12.199 --> 01:03:16.039
last few years. I feel like
that's the title of a Man of War

706
01:03:16.159 --> 01:03:22.840
album, you know, Man of
War, of course, Yeah, it

707
01:03:22.920 --> 01:03:31.400
might be. It's not next title. I don't know how to pronounce this

708
01:03:31.440 --> 01:03:38.480
one. Probably I want to try
Stela huh, Stelka Heinz and fifteen from

709
01:03:38.559 --> 01:03:46.719
nineteen seven fifteen. That's why I
said, you said fifteen, So fifteen

710
01:03:47.360 --> 01:03:55.239
is that better? Is that better? Uh? This one looks pretty crazy

711
01:03:55.400 --> 01:04:00.960
as well. If you've not I
would check out the the trailer on this

712
01:04:00.000 --> 01:04:04.800
one and the steals. This one
looks pretty interesting. Oh. Absolutely,

713
01:04:05.000 --> 01:04:10.440
this was This was an immediate order
for me. This one says fifteen year

714
01:04:10.480 --> 01:04:14.639
old Heinz Stelka STEELK. I forgot
how you said it is a Hitler youth

715
01:04:14.679 --> 01:04:17.960
fanatic who is devastated to learn the
hidden truth about his respected father, who

716
01:04:18.079 --> 01:04:24.000
was a German officer in World War
Two. He was Jewish. Yeah,

717
01:04:24.039 --> 01:04:28.320
this one, this one immediately was
one that I definitely had to pick up.

718
01:04:29.360 --> 01:04:32.280
Very curious to see how this turns
out. I'm just hoping, you

719
01:04:32.280 --> 01:04:38.880
know, Altered Innocence got a little
bit of flack recently for one of the

720
01:04:39.320 --> 01:04:42.960
encoding on one of their discs was
not great. It got compressed to hell.

721
01:04:43.039 --> 01:04:46.000
They used a twenty five gig disc
and for people that are paying full

722
01:04:46.000 --> 01:04:53.480
price on that, that's kind of
that's kind of rough to have it not

723
01:04:53.559 --> 01:04:56.519
look great. And when when you
put a whole full length film on that

724
01:04:56.559 --> 01:05:00.599
in twenty twenty three, with extra
features and everything, there's a lot that

725
01:05:00.639 --> 01:05:06.719
could make that really not look too
good. I renounce them, I don't.

726
01:05:08.280 --> 01:05:12.079
They do great work, and I
hope it all looks great. Oh

727
01:05:12.159 --> 01:05:16.599
man, I cannot wait. I've
read about this film and over the years,

728
01:05:16.639 --> 01:05:23.880
and I cannot wait to finally see
it. I had heard about this

729
01:05:25.360 --> 01:05:29.079
vaguely, I think, and it's
I think it was because what it released

730
01:05:29.119 --> 01:05:30.400
year, Yeah, eighty seven,
So this came out the year I was

731
01:05:30.400 --> 01:05:34.360
born, and it's It's one of
those titles that I've been wanting to see

732
01:05:34.360 --> 01:05:41.840
for quite some time. Next title
from the OCN labels is from another new

733
01:05:41.880 --> 01:05:45.199
label. This is coming from Art
Label, which is like a spinoff of

734
01:05:45.239 --> 01:05:50.519
Culture Shock Releasing, And this one
is surf Reality Movie of the Month club

735
01:05:50.599 --> 01:05:57.159
collection from nineteen ninety one and nineteen
ninety two, and oh my gosh,

736
01:05:57.440 --> 01:06:02.679
does this look? Why this says? The New York performance art scene in

737
01:06:02.679 --> 01:06:08.239
the late eighties was teaming with talents
enter Robert Pritchard and Jennifer Baptiste, who

738
01:06:08.320 --> 01:06:12.920
decided that the madness happening nightly needed
to be preserved on videotape under the moniker

739
01:06:12.920 --> 01:06:16.360
of surf Reality. At the same
time, genre favorite Matt Mittler was challenged

740
01:06:16.400 --> 01:06:20.239
to improvise a feature film and a
single day. Pritchard and Mitler joined forces

741
01:06:20.239 --> 01:06:24.239
to shoot a series of one day
features on video, and so the movie

742
01:06:24.239 --> 01:06:28.639
The Month Club was born. This
collection features all of the tantalizing and gonzo

743
01:06:28.719 --> 01:06:32.639
movie The Month Club videos, including
Kid Scarface, Maniaculd Go Go Dick and

744
01:06:32.719 --> 01:06:35.360
Jane Drop, Acid and Die.
I was a teenage bride of Christ,

745
01:06:35.400 --> 01:06:40.280
Thrill Kill, Video Club, Alien
Sexophone, Psycho, lesm Fosse mus Rob,

746
01:06:40.719 --> 01:06:44.280
as well as the Turf of Savage
Homicides, and the home video version

747
01:06:44.320 --> 01:06:49.960
of Matt Mitler's play Macbeth, King
of Scotland. I can't wait to watch

748
01:06:50.039 --> 01:06:57.280
this shit The other big thing.
Like I said, art Label is new

749
01:06:57.840 --> 01:07:01.039
and their blurb says art Label is
the new outlet for envelope pushing art house

750
01:07:01.039 --> 01:07:05.880
and experimental cinema, growing from previous
work under the verboden video and culture shock

751
01:07:05.960 --> 01:07:11.280
releasing banners, art Label is focusing
on films that challenge traditional rules of form

752
01:07:11.320 --> 01:07:15.039
and content. Art Label is broadening
its roots in horror and exploitation, reaching

753
01:07:15.039 --> 01:07:18.440
into other dimensions of expression to give
new kicks to a well versed audience of

754
01:07:18.480 --> 01:07:24.800
cinematic thrill seekers. Even the most
hardened movie goers will find stimulation in Art

755
01:07:24.880 --> 01:07:29.719
labels releases. What does it mean? Where'd that phrase pushed the envelope come

756
01:07:29.760 --> 01:07:32.400
from? Somebody used to google that
for me. I'm sure that we will

757
01:07:32.400 --> 01:07:35.559
get an answer to that in just
a minute. Yeah, yeah, just

758
01:07:35.639 --> 01:07:45.599
sign or somebody find out, because
like, I can think of verious scenarios

759
01:07:45.599 --> 01:07:50.159
where an envelope is pushed in movies
and such, but it doesn't The ones

760
01:07:50.199 --> 01:07:55.400
I can think of don't mean what
the phrase seems to mean. So I

761
01:07:55.400 --> 01:07:58.039
want to know what does it mean
to push the envelope? Where did that

762
01:07:58.039 --> 01:08:01.079
come from? What does that refer
to? That's a good question. How

763
01:08:01.159 --> 01:08:11.039
in fact is surf reality pushing the
or art Label pushing the envelope? I

764
01:08:11.280 --> 01:08:15.960
would love to find out how it
Sumer says, what was it I was

765
01:08:16.000 --> 01:08:27.640
eating cookies. That's some serious concentration. The next one, I'm sure,

766
01:08:28.720 --> 01:08:31.039
I'm sure Will is excited to talk
about ed Woods. Take it out in

767
01:08:31.159 --> 01:08:35.239
trade. This one's coming from AGFA
and the Big Thing. They had put

768
01:08:35.239 --> 01:08:41.319
this out previously, but this was
the brand new release because it was out

769
01:08:41.359 --> 01:08:44.319
of print and out it has a
slipcover. What do you think of ed

770
01:08:44.359 --> 01:08:47.319
Wood, my dear friend. I'm
really glad to see some of the out

771
01:08:47.359 --> 01:08:53.800
of print titles coming back into print, yes, especially because like like this.

772
01:08:54.000 --> 01:08:59.920
The original release of this, I
was before I was aware of Vinegars

773
01:09:00.039 --> 01:09:02.800
and Drummerousian or any of these titles, so I was like, WHOA great,

774
01:09:02.960 --> 01:09:05.199
and then it was already sold out
and out of print, and I

775
01:09:05.199 --> 01:09:09.520
was like, fuck, yeah,
this is a this is an Edward movie

776
01:09:09.520 --> 01:09:15.800
that but I haven't seen yet,
so I'm excited about it. And d

777
01:09:15.920 --> 01:09:20.760
Signor just found out. The expression
comes originally from mathematics and engineering, where

778
01:09:20.760 --> 01:09:26.399
an envelope is a boundary. It
was popularized by test pilots. Okay,

779
01:09:27.399 --> 01:09:33.000
I find it still enigmatic. Well
in any case, speaking of envelope pushing

780
01:09:33.840 --> 01:09:39.960
Edwards cinema. You know, and
I want to say here, I concur

781
01:09:40.159 --> 01:09:45.960
with all of the guys in Mystery
Science Theater Riff tracks the mads who love

782
01:09:46.119 --> 01:09:54.600
Edwood and find his cinema to be
really strange and interesting. Right, and

783
01:09:55.199 --> 01:09:58.680
no, Deceibner, I appreciate what
you did. Now I'm intrigued to know

784
01:09:58.720 --> 01:10:05.439
more. Back to Cookie anyways,
you know, it pissed it always pissed

785
01:10:05.439 --> 01:10:10.439
me off when when people describe Edward
as the worst filmmaker of all time,

786
01:10:12.680 --> 01:10:20.680
because when you if you judge a
filmmaker based on talent plus uh resources,

787
01:10:21.560 --> 01:10:28.520
Wood's actually pretty amazing. The fact
that his films exist in the quality and

788
01:10:28.560 --> 01:10:31.000
the technical quality that they do based
on the resources that he had access to

789
01:10:31.560 --> 01:10:36.960
is amazing, you know. I
mean there's a I think there's a reason

790
01:10:38.000 --> 01:10:41.840
that Tim Burton's best film, I
think by most people's estimation is Evwood,

791
01:10:42.199 --> 01:10:48.439
because because it captures that spirit that
he that he had to have had in

792
01:10:48.560 --> 01:10:55.760
order to make his films. Now, this and the other film that you're

793
01:10:55.760 --> 01:11:00.800
about to announce came later in his
career where when who was in a pretty

794
01:11:00.840 --> 01:11:04.680
dark place and some really interesting interested
in seeing you know how these look?

795
01:11:04.800 --> 01:11:11.760
And obviously a Frank Hennelatter commentary means
it's going to be a film school,

796
01:11:12.119 --> 01:11:19.600
So what can I say? Ordered
it immediately. The other what Edward title

797
01:11:19.760 --> 01:11:25.479
We're going to be talking about after
this next one? But first, VHS

798
01:11:25.560 --> 01:11:30.800
Hitfest is releasing Vile from nineteen ninety
seven. Yeah, what a wild slip

799
01:11:30.840 --> 01:11:34.159
cover. At least the front of
this one. I like the back.

800
01:11:34.880 --> 01:11:41.279
Yeah, well they both look good, but the front is interesting. This

801
01:11:41.359 --> 01:11:45.000
says, when doctor Walter Hall creates
a drug that turns men into unstoppable beasts,

802
01:11:45.000 --> 01:11:47.800
the government will stop it. Nothing
to get it. Forced by the

803
01:11:47.800 --> 01:11:53.720
pressure of authority, Doctor Hall injects
John an unsuspecting bum and unleashes a tear

804
01:11:53.800 --> 01:11:57.000
on the community five days in one
man's life, gives him an eternity in

805
01:11:57.079 --> 01:12:03.479
hell when he reopened an old experiment
when he reopens Vile twenty one. Made

806
01:12:03.520 --> 01:12:08.680
in the mid nineties by special effects
veteran Mike Strain Junior, Vile twenty one

807
01:12:08.760 --> 01:12:13.199
is an SFX tour de force of
creatures, gore, stop motion, and

808
01:12:13.319 --> 01:12:17.319
rubber masks. That's like the Big
Four right there. VHS hit Fast is

809
01:12:17.359 --> 01:12:20.479
beyond excited to bring this regional obscurity
to disc for the first time. With

810
01:12:20.520 --> 01:12:26.359
the new edit transferred from the original
master. This one's region free brand new

811
01:12:26.359 --> 01:12:30.520
special edition cut transferred from the original
master. It's got the original VHS cut

812
01:12:30.560 --> 01:12:34.319
and audio commentary by Mike Strange,
junior commentary by Ronnie Sorter. Behind the

813
01:12:34.359 --> 01:12:40.199
scenes bonus film called Hotel of Terror
and some deleted scenes. There is a

814
01:12:40.359 --> 01:12:56.720
lot on this. Someone who's turned
on the the disposed one of and they

815
01:12:56.760 --> 01:12:59.720
put as many spoons as they could
fit in there. Yeah, basically,

816
01:13:00.319 --> 01:13:09.520
which actually is appropriate to this film. I think you know trash car the

817
01:13:09.520 --> 01:13:15.520
hell's the word garbage disposal? Yeah? And the sink, Yes, it's

818
01:13:15.520 --> 01:13:21.119
called garbage disposal. Yes, I
never knew that. Well, I never

819
01:13:21.119 --> 01:13:26.199
had that growing up. This is
the first time I've had one. It's

820
01:13:26.239 --> 01:13:28.600
weird because there's some kinds of fruit
you're supposed to put in there, and

821
01:13:28.640 --> 01:13:31.119
some kinds of fruit you're not.
I mean, if you've ever worked for

822
01:13:31.159 --> 01:13:34.880
a plumber, like I always tell
people, the biggest thing I put in

823
01:13:34.920 --> 01:13:39.399
there is a bubble. I don't
put anything in there. Literally, man,

824
01:13:39.960 --> 01:13:43.560
I wish i'd worked for a plumber. You know, the life of

825
01:13:43.600 --> 01:13:46.000
the mind is a fucking lie.
You know, all these people are mad

826
01:13:46.039 --> 01:13:54.640
about the humanities getting destroyed at colleges. I'm not it's a lie. We

827
01:13:54.680 --> 01:14:00.319
don't make people better. Look at
the world. And that is the snippet

828
01:14:00.319 --> 01:14:04.920
that they're going to share from tonight's
show. Thank You Bill support Stem.

829
01:14:08.840 --> 01:14:12.960
Next title is Edwood and it's the
Violent Years again. This is another re

830
01:14:12.960 --> 01:14:16.079
release for AGFA. The same exact
disc has came out previously. If you

831
01:14:16.159 --> 01:14:19.560
have that original disc, you probably
don't need the new one. Slip covers

832
01:14:19.560 --> 01:14:25.479
for this one and the other Edwood
title are both sold out already. Wow,

833
01:14:26.880 --> 01:14:30.680
I'm glad I got mine. Yeah, actual went quick this month.

834
01:14:30.319 --> 01:14:38.319
Yeah, dude, I mean look
love Edward, hate Edward. He is

835
01:14:38.359 --> 01:14:49.279
a unique voice in American cinema.
Moving on, yep, I thought there's

836
01:14:49.279 --> 01:14:54.119
gonna be more on Edwood. New
merch available to order from some of the

01:15:26.960 --> 01:15:31.560
hour of going up. Oh well, I guess I missed it. That's

844
01:15:31.600 --> 01:15:35.680
a bus Yeah. I like all
the novelizations that people are doing. Now

845
01:15:36.000 --> 01:15:39.960
I want to do one. Somebody
want me to be fun? That would

846
01:15:40.000 --> 01:15:44.920
be fun. Yeah, I'll do
the seventy seven version of Stephen King on

847
01:15:45.000 --> 01:15:49.359
film. I'll do it even shorter
cut and we'll put them both out.

848
01:15:49.880 --> 01:15:54.119
Oh. Hey, speaking of Adam
Rifkin, you guys want to read a

849
01:15:54.159 --> 01:15:59.640
little something something about Adam Rifkins's career. Mister Stangeeze has a nice article and

850
01:15:59.800 --> 01:16:04.439
this called Media Advocate number six,
but doesn't talk a lot about The Nuthouse

851
01:16:04.760 --> 01:16:08.560
in that article. And I Stan, I want to talk with you about

852
01:16:08.600 --> 01:16:15.720
The Nuthouse, which was originally a
Scott Spiegel film written by Sam and Ivan

853
01:16:15.800 --> 01:16:21.760
Ramie and Bruce Campbell, but Scott
Spiegel was fired and the Ramis and Campbell

854
01:16:21.800 --> 01:16:28.680
took Alan Smithy credits and the film
turned out to be kind of messed up,

855
01:16:28.720 --> 01:16:32.520
but like, it's not very good, but you can definitely see the

856
01:16:32.640 --> 01:16:36.359
Ramie moments there's like, you know, all kinds of three Stooges stuff,

857
01:16:36.960 --> 01:16:43.479
and that's got a pretty nice early
performance by Tracy Lawreds, who actually is

858
01:16:43.520 --> 01:16:46.960
probably the best part of the movie
and not none way that you would expect.

859
01:16:47.039 --> 01:16:53.119
I mean, I mean in terms
of the comedy, I think she's

860
01:16:53.119 --> 01:16:58.800
pretty good in it. But the
movie sucks, but it's interesting because of

861
01:16:58.840 --> 01:17:03.479
its history. So anyway, Uh, the ginger shit is sharing the thing

862
01:17:03.520 --> 01:17:08.199
that I was going to share next. If you're interested in some Saturn's Core

863
01:17:08.279 --> 01:17:14.000
releases or the Doris Swiss mail,
you'll like the name will or the doors

864
01:17:14.079 --> 01:17:17.920
Wishman sets. Vinegar Syndrome currently has
some bundles on the site for those releases,

865
01:17:18.000 --> 01:17:24.319
and they are very cheap. Like
I think there are thirteen Saturn's Core

866
01:17:24.399 --> 01:17:28.199
releases with slipcovers and it's like one
hundred and ten dollars or something like that.

867
01:17:29.840 --> 01:17:32.600
When did the wildly cheap Yeah?
Wait, where's it is? It's

868
01:17:32.640 --> 01:17:35.720
on the venitors in your one set. Yep. Why didn't want to get

869
01:17:35.720 --> 01:17:47.560
an email? I think they did. Actually it's to Night's not the first

870
01:17:47.640 --> 01:17:56.279
night, it was earlier. I'm
not sure when, but uh, yeah,

871
01:17:56.319 --> 01:17:59.840
they've got a couple of different bundles
going on right now. Well,

872
01:18:02.640 --> 01:18:06.640
if you search bundle, oh I'm
sorry, it is one hundred and thirty

873
01:18:06.680 --> 01:18:11.239
dollars and it's oh, I got
those numbers backwards. That's all it is.

874
01:18:11.640 --> 01:18:16.000
It is ten titles with slipcovers for
one hundred and thirty dollars and it's

875
01:18:16.000 --> 01:18:24.600
in the sale section. There you
go. All right, Will has disappeared

876
01:18:24.600 --> 01:18:28.079
again, So going to the next
one. February twenty sixth, in a

877
01:18:28.159 --> 01:18:33.000
Walmart exclusive Blu Ray Steel book,
Hollowman from two thousand is coming. This

878
01:18:33.079 --> 01:18:36.880
is a mill Creek disc and this
is gonna have a bonus feature on this

879
01:18:38.000 --> 01:18:44.479
that's brand new, an interview with
Jerry Coltsmith biographer Jeff Bond. And this

880
01:18:44.680 --> 01:18:50.920
slipcover looks okay, but also it's
not that effective. I mean, we've

881
01:18:50.960 --> 01:18:54.680
got a hallow Man double feature that
came out in the UK. Let's get

882
01:18:54.680 --> 01:18:59.560
a little more going on. You
know, if I were gonna do an

883
01:18:59.560 --> 01:19:03.760
April Wolve's joke, I would just
send, I would just mail the slipcover.

884
01:19:11.720 --> 01:19:15.359
Yes, I can't wait to tell
my kids that Santa Claus couldn't come

885
01:19:15.439 --> 01:19:20.960
because their dad spent one hundred and
thirty dollars on Saturn's Core Films. Oh

886
01:19:21.000 --> 01:19:29.760
boy. Next title is The Rachel
Papers is coming from MGM Studios. This

887
01:19:29.880 --> 01:19:32.920
is from nineteen eighty nine. A
charming, witty teen comedy follows a young

888
01:19:32.960 --> 01:19:38.640
genius played by Dexter Fletcher as he
allows his raging hormones, high intellect,

889
01:19:38.680 --> 01:19:43.279
and desktop computer to ensnare him in
the most unsolvable of all equations, Love

890
01:19:44.880 --> 01:19:53.800
his desktop computer. Yeah, where
he does battle with the lawnmower man in

891
01:19:53.960 --> 01:19:59.319
virtual reality, but also something else
to pop pop into this. MGM is

892
01:19:59.560 --> 01:20:05.880
like wietly releasing a lot of catalog
titles, and I believe Amazon bought MGM

893
01:20:05.920 --> 01:20:15.840
fully right, I think so.
Anyways, Next title is another MGM title,

894
01:20:15.880 --> 01:20:20.479
and that's romantic comedy from nineteen eighty
three. This one says a playwright

895
01:20:20.560 --> 01:20:25.359
hits creative roadblock until the novice writer
enters the scene. She not only helps

896
01:20:25.439 --> 01:20:29.319
him pen hit after hit, she
also steals his heart. Now there are

897
01:20:29.359 --> 01:20:31.560
just two things standing in the way. The romance his wife and her husband

898
01:20:33.479 --> 01:20:40.239
starring Mary Steinberg and Dudley Moore.
That looks a lot like Griffin dun to

899
01:20:40.279 --> 01:20:45.600
me, though, MGM is sparing
no expense on these these cover art.

900
01:20:46.199 --> 01:20:56.239
The cover art, No, they're
not great obviously, what what what the

901
01:20:56.399 --> 01:21:05.960
What you can't see is that Dudley
Moore is actually standing up? Oh will

902
01:21:09.000 --> 01:21:14.960
next up? Sure? Sure?
Yeah, I got that February twentieth in

903
01:21:15.000 --> 01:21:19.319
a wide release Blu Ray Steel Book
from rlj E and Shutter VHS Triple Feature

904
01:21:19.439 --> 01:21:26.079
for VHS ninety four, VHS ninety
nine, and VHS eighty five. This

905
01:21:26.159 --> 01:21:31.520
is the front of the steel and
this is the back. This is interesting

906
01:21:31.560 --> 01:21:36.800
because tonight we get our first look
at possible upcoming options for steel book releases.

907
01:21:38.159 --> 01:21:42.039
So this one is coming out widely, it's going everywhere. You can

908
01:21:42.079 --> 01:21:45.159
get at Barnes and Noble, Amazon, Walmart, everywhere. But we got

909
01:21:45.159 --> 01:21:48.439
a handful of titles that are coming
out as Walmart exclusives, and I wanted

910
01:21:48.479 --> 01:21:51.960
to really highlight something that I had
heard recently, and that is on each

911
01:21:53.000 --> 01:21:57.920
of these titles that are coming out, there is like an actual negotiation happening

912
01:21:58.000 --> 01:22:03.520
for steel book releases. If a
retailer doesn't choose to like bid on a

913
01:22:03.560 --> 01:22:10.159
title basically to come out as an
exclusive steel book, sometimes it just won't

914
01:22:10.159 --> 01:22:14.000
get a steel book in the US
and it will only go elsewhere. So

915
01:22:14.439 --> 01:22:19.600
it's a very odd situation. I'm
very curious to see how the future is

916
01:22:19.680 --> 01:22:23.880
because I know a lot of people
on here love steel books. I like

917
01:22:23.880 --> 01:22:28.680
steel books quite a bit. But
I guess the big question now will what

918
01:22:28.720 --> 01:22:30.159
do you think of these anthologies?
Have you seen any of the VHS films,

919
01:22:30.279 --> 01:22:34.079
especially the new trilogy. Well,
I'm pretty excited because one of the

920
01:22:34.159 --> 01:22:40.399
special features includes a footage of the
theatrical screening where you can listen to Danzig

921
01:22:40.439 --> 01:22:53.279
talk and that really really adds to
the ambiance for me. Hmmm, have

922
01:22:53.359 --> 01:23:01.279
a good at Craig like Creigh boy. That was funny. That was just

923
01:23:01.319 --> 01:23:08.680
for one I want to say before
Craig leaves, I our mysterious Castle direct

924
01:23:10.640 --> 01:23:14.840
h next four K steal book from
Lion's Book from Lion's Book from Lionsgate,

925
01:23:14.920 --> 01:23:18.039
coming in early twenty twenty four is
the brand new John Wu film Silent Night.

926
01:23:19.439 --> 01:23:24.560
This one has been getting some very
divisive reviews, but I'm very curious

927
01:23:24.600 --> 01:23:31.840
to check this one out. Are
you into John Woodall? Yeah, I

928
01:23:31.920 --> 01:23:38.239
was actually when I went to prison, when I went to prison tonight,

929
01:23:38.640 --> 01:23:42.319
I went to prison, well when
I went in you know, like I

930
01:23:42.359 --> 01:23:51.439
was in the like area, the
recreational area. I had this like vision

931
01:23:51.520 --> 01:23:56.800
of face off situation happening to me, and I was and I'm like trapped,

932
01:23:58.720 --> 01:24:03.880
right, But yeah, you know, I love the killer and bluting

933
01:24:03.920 --> 01:24:09.680
the head and all of that,
and I even like, you know,

934
01:24:09.720 --> 01:24:15.279
I like most of his Hollywood output. I actually haven't seen Paycheck yet,

935
01:24:15.279 --> 01:24:19.399
so I'm not gonna shit on it
until I do. So I'm definitely gonna

936
01:24:19.399 --> 01:24:28.279
see Silent Night. I'm intrigued by
the idea that there's no dialogue. I

937
01:24:28.399 --> 01:24:31.720
want to see how that works.
Yeah, and I think this is like

938
01:24:31.800 --> 01:24:36.920
the second or third film that's went
with that gimmick over the last year.

939
01:24:38.760 --> 01:24:43.239
I just I don't know. It
doesn't always work for me. It doesn't

940
01:24:43.279 --> 01:24:45.800
always work. Like the entire history
of silent cinema is a problem for you.

941
01:24:46.359 --> 01:24:48.840
I mean, yeah, because it's
mostly racist, it's not a problem

942
01:24:48.840 --> 01:25:01.359
for you. What the fuck.
I'm just making sure you're on your toes.

943
01:25:01.640 --> 01:25:05.920
I just jumped on the new Kickstart
today for a Redwood what's her name,

944
01:25:05.960 --> 01:25:11.199
Redwood Creek? Yeah, follow the
House of USh or holy shit,

945
01:25:11.359 --> 01:25:17.079
can't wait that Wait? Is that
is that the right title? I don't

946
01:25:17.079 --> 01:25:28.079
think so. Huh. I'm not
sure all right. Next title is blue

947
01:25:28.119 --> 01:25:30.359
Beard, coming from Keena Lober.
This is the nineteen forty four blue Beard.

948
01:25:30.439 --> 01:25:34.279
It's got a new HD master by
Paramounts. No title or sorry,

949
01:25:34.279 --> 01:25:39.439
no release date on this one,
but it's the John Carrodine film. And

950
01:25:39.479 --> 01:25:45.800
then the next title is Anaconda coming
as a Walmart exclusive Blu ray steel book,

951
01:25:45.199 --> 01:25:50.279
again from mill Creek. Nothing new
on the disc. That's the perfect

952
01:25:51.199 --> 01:25:59.920
pairing to me. Like everything I
like about Mill Creek and Walmart is Anacon

953
01:26:00.159 --> 01:26:08.960
you know what I mean? Like
Anaconda as a film is a Walmart exclusive

954
01:26:10.000 --> 01:26:13.680
put together by mil Craik. And
I say that in the best way possible.

955
01:26:13.760 --> 01:26:16.680
Normally I know that would be an
insult, but in Ana Conda's case,

956
01:26:17.119 --> 01:26:19.920
it works. I can't speak to
the sequels, never seen it,

957
01:26:20.520 --> 01:26:28.319
right, but I love Anaconda.
It's a fun movie. Will I think

958
01:26:28.359 --> 01:26:33.359
that? I think his performance in
Anaconda is one of his funniest performances.

959
01:26:34.880 --> 01:26:42.079
Anyways, the twenty twenty Children of
the Corn is coming as a four k

960
01:26:42.279 --> 01:26:46.800
UHD Steel book to Walmart exclusively if
you really want that one. This is

961
01:26:46.840 --> 01:26:51.920
the front of the steel and this
is the back. No word on that's

962
01:26:51.960 --> 01:26:56.720
more what I would expect from a
Walmart exclusive. Oh. Absolutely, a

963
01:26:56.840 --> 01:26:59.720
Children of the Corn also, I
was right. It is the Fall of

964
01:26:59.720 --> 01:27:03.000
the House about everybody should go check
out the Kickstar for it. It looks

965
01:27:03.039 --> 01:27:09.640
amazing. Co written by Lewis Binwell, all right on with Children in the

966
01:27:09.640 --> 01:27:14.159
Corn looks great? Does it?
No? I don't care about it.

967
01:27:15.159 --> 01:27:23.880
Charlie's Saron Charlie's Theron's first movie was
Children in the Corn four. That was

968
01:27:23.920 --> 01:27:33.479
the most random. Oh man uh? Next title, The Manchurian Candidate from

969
01:27:33.800 --> 01:27:38.880
two thousand and four is coming in
four K from Keno eventually brand new twenty

970
01:27:38.920 --> 01:27:43.399
twenty three HDR Dolby Vision Master by
Paramount from a four K scan of the

971
01:27:43.399 --> 01:27:47.079
OCN. Did you ever see the
remake? Will not yet, but I

972
01:27:47.119 --> 01:27:50.720
did pick up a copy because there
was like some Kenot sale was four ninety

973
01:27:50.760 --> 01:27:56.920
nine. And I always check out
Jonathan demi movies, even though I don't

974
01:27:56.960 --> 01:28:02.039
really I like the idea of Jonathan
Demi, but most of most of his

975
01:28:02.159 --> 01:28:05.640
movies I just don't like. I
think. I think my favorite thing that

976
01:28:05.760 --> 01:28:14.920
he did was that music video he
made for the punk band Suburban Lawns.

977
01:28:15.119 --> 01:28:16.880
What is it? Gidget goes to
Hell. Did you ever see that?

978
01:28:17.239 --> 01:28:21.960
I did not. They made it
for Center It Live back in the early

979
01:28:23.000 --> 01:28:28.359
eighties. Yeah, I did that. I love Suburban Mons, great band,

980
01:28:28.880 --> 01:28:33.800
but uh yeah, I think my
favorite Jonathan Demi movie wait, I

981
01:28:33.920 --> 01:28:43.520
want to make sure. Uh,
I'm sure this one will sell well for

982
01:28:43.600 --> 01:28:47.079
Keino. That's the big thing is
I'm sure. Yeah, they don't need

983
01:28:47.119 --> 01:28:50.199
my help. Oh, I'm glad
I looked it up because about said of

984
01:28:50.239 --> 01:29:00.880
Mike Nichols movie About said my favorite
Jonathan Demi movie was a Mike Nichols movie.

985
01:29:01.439 --> 01:29:04.279
Yeah. You know, so if
I if I didn't already have the

986
01:29:04.319 --> 01:29:10.960
Blu ray this, I'd probably be
looking at it. Decimner says Silence of

987
01:29:10.960 --> 01:29:14.520
the Lambs. You know, my
favorite thing about Silence of the Lambs is

988
01:29:14.520 --> 01:29:24.000
that there's little cameos by George Romero
and Roger Corman and John Garfield is a

989
01:29:24.079 --> 01:29:29.079
John Garfield. Well, anyway,
Jason Lambs has never worked for me.

990
01:29:29.119 --> 01:29:31.800
For some reason, it should have. I think it's probably something wrong with

991
01:29:31.840 --> 01:29:35.920
me. I I like Silence of
the Lambs, but I personally I prefer

992
01:29:36.000 --> 01:29:41.000
Manhunter, right, that one's much
more interesting. Yeah, I don't know.

993
01:29:42.399 --> 01:29:46.119
Oh, stop making sense. Thank
you. R eleven thirty three.

994
01:29:47.000 --> 01:29:54.960
That's pretty awesome. Oh and that
Neil Young Heart of Gold concert video that

995
01:29:55.119 --> 01:30:01.119
was good. Okay. I love
Jonathan Demi's music films. Oh man,

996
01:30:01.800 --> 01:30:03.920
I love how you're saying that.
And then you're coming to find out that

997
01:30:04.039 --> 01:30:10.279
Jonathan Demi did like an Insane Clown
Posse uh tour video or something. I

998
01:30:10.399 --> 01:30:17.079
would fucking love that Insane Clown Posse
movie. Come on, that would be

999
01:30:17.359 --> 01:30:26.279
That would be awesome. The silence
of the silence of the Juggalos. I

1000
01:30:26.279 --> 01:30:29.439
should have named a different band.
I forgot that you would worship anything like

1001
01:30:29.439 --> 01:30:30.880
that. I'm sorry, Oh my
god, Oh are you're kidding me.

1002
01:30:31.119 --> 01:30:38.239
Look, I'm not saying ICP is
a great band or anything, but the

1003
01:30:38.279 --> 01:30:45.960
Fourth Joker's Card that was pretty good. Riddle box. So how about how

1004
01:30:45.960 --> 01:30:50.880
about Indicator? Huh uh? Indicator? On February nineteenth in the UK and

1005
01:30:50.960 --> 01:30:56.279
February twentieth in the US are releasing
this title and the next title. Both

1006
01:30:56.279 --> 01:30:59.640
of those are gonna be dual releases. Uh. They're both going to be

1007
01:30:59.680 --> 01:31:03.960
four and blu ray releases in a
limited edition hard box. This first one

1008
01:31:04.000 --> 01:31:09.199
is Patrick from nineteen seventy eight,
and this has a brand new four khdr

1009
01:31:09.279 --> 01:31:15.039
restoration from the OCN by Indicator themselves. There are three presentations in this package,

1010
01:31:15.159 --> 01:31:18.600
the original OSSI theatrical cut, the
shortened US theatrical cut with American dubbing,

1011
01:31:19.039 --> 01:31:26.760
and the Italian theatrical version featuring an
alternative score by Italian Prague Legends Goblin

1012
01:31:26.960 --> 01:31:30.479
and presented with English subs for the
first time ever. We got a commentary

1013
01:31:30.520 --> 01:31:35.079
with Richard Franklin and the screenwriter ever
Everett Dave Rocha from two thousand and two,

1014
01:31:35.199 --> 01:31:39.600
an onset interview with Richard Franklin,
an interview with Richard frank from from

1015
01:31:39.640 --> 01:31:43.840
two thousand and one that was previously
unseen, coffee break with Anthony I.

1016
01:31:44.159 --> 01:31:48.279
Jannani from two thousand and nine.
We've got the not quite Hollywood interview excerpts,

1017
01:31:48.319 --> 01:31:53.319
of course, and then Stephen Morgan
on Patrick. He gives an appreciation

1018
01:31:53.399 --> 01:31:59.079
by the academic and Australian cinema specialist
on Patrick, newly translated subs for the

1019
01:31:59.279 --> 01:32:02.720
Italian sound track, like I said, And then we've got a booklet in

1020
01:32:02.800 --> 01:32:05.760
this, of course, with a
new essay by Alan Miller. This one's

1021
01:32:05.760 --> 01:32:12.359
gonna be eighty pages. Wow,
Now, what's who did the previous release

1022
01:32:12.399 --> 01:32:17.119
of Patrick was? It wasn't ever? I think Patrick lives or did they

1023
01:32:17.159 --> 01:32:19.960
do both? I thought they did
both? Am I am I dumb?

1024
01:32:21.439 --> 01:32:25.399
Don't answer that because that that answer
is probably true, but with the chat

1025
01:32:25.479 --> 01:32:31.039
correct us. But yes, seven
released Patrick in twenty fourteen. Oh okay,

1026
01:32:31.439 --> 01:32:34.319
wait did you say is this an
updated scan? Oh? Yeah,

1027
01:32:34.359 --> 01:32:41.039
brand new four K Yeah, brand
new scan. Wow, this will be

1028
01:32:41.319 --> 01:32:44.359
It is technically a re release,
I guess, but also it's a ten

1029
01:32:44.479 --> 01:32:47.439
year old release by the time this
comes out with the brand new HDR grade.

1030
01:32:47.680 --> 01:32:51.640
This is a huge difference. Yeah. That that changed the calculus of

1031
01:32:51.680 --> 01:33:00.479
my budgeting. Oh and uh oh
let me also because there was comment about

1032
01:33:00.520 --> 01:33:05.119
it, send your mom on up
to the stove, tell that bitch to

1033
01:33:05.119 --> 01:33:15.000
bring home spague out. Oh man, oh man, just a little shout

1034
01:33:15.000 --> 01:33:18.399
out to the chat. Okay,
yeah, this looks great. Man.

1035
01:33:18.880 --> 01:33:24.920
Yeah, so Brandon format coming out
on UHD. That's a that's a big

1036
01:33:24.960 --> 01:33:27.560
difference. Now, the other one
that might be a little more egregious for

1037
01:33:27.600 --> 01:33:32.479
people, Snapshot from nineteen seventy nine
is the other indicator title. Now,

1038
01:33:32.520 --> 01:33:35.880
this one is different because vinegar Syndrome
put this out handful of years ago,

1039
01:33:35.960 --> 01:33:41.159
but also eighty eight Films released this
on Blu Ray just a couple of years

1040
01:33:41.199 --> 01:33:46.760
ago as part of their classics collection. So Simon Winster, Simon Winster,

1041
01:33:46.760 --> 01:33:51.520
he's the one that did Darryl.
Right. Uh, that sounds right,

1042
01:33:51.640 --> 01:34:01.239
I think so. I'm fairly sure
the chattel correct is Yeah, wait,

1043
01:34:01.279 --> 01:34:04.800
what's the problem with this? It's
just it just barely came out on Blu

1044
01:34:04.880 --> 01:34:08.239
Ray in the UK a couple of
years ago, and now it's getting another

1045
01:34:08.279 --> 01:34:13.399
Blu Ray release in the UK,
but also a four K release. Yeah,

1046
01:34:13.520 --> 01:34:17.079
so Mark, yep, that'll happen. Uh. And then the special

1047
01:34:17.079 --> 01:34:23.119
features, there's not even a whole
lot brand new. There's again another appreciation

1048
01:34:23.199 --> 01:34:25.840
by Stephen Morgan. And then you
got an eighty page booklet in this with

1049
01:34:25.880 --> 01:34:29.479
a new essay. But other than
that, everything else is archival. And

1050
01:34:29.720 --> 01:34:31.520
uh yeah, I could see a
little more on this one. Why white

1051
01:34:31.520 --> 01:34:38.840
people would be just slightly upset,
especially if you had just bought that eighty

1052
01:34:38.880 --> 01:34:43.800
eight Films one m h. But
this one's a good movie. Have you

1053
01:34:43.840 --> 01:34:55.039
have you seen this one? No? I haven't. I was trying to

1054
01:34:55.079 --> 01:35:00.760
make a brass Eze joke about it
being Region A, he says Phil,

1055
01:35:00.439 --> 01:35:08.560
it's also Region B though. Come
on. Anyways, we also got some

1056
01:35:08.600 --> 01:35:15.119
Shout announcements February thirteenth on four K
they are releasing Willie's Wonderland from twenty twenty

1057
01:35:15.119 --> 01:35:17.760
one. This will be a four
KUHD and Blu ray combo coming out of

1058
01:35:17.800 --> 01:35:26.199
the standard release, and a steel
book with a really interesting cover this one.

1059
01:35:26.680 --> 01:35:28.760
We don't know any of the extras
yet, of course, because it

1060
01:35:28.880 --> 01:35:31.199
shout, so we'll know after it
ships what they're putting on the discs.

1061
01:35:33.319 --> 01:35:36.680
But yeah, this is coming on
February thirteenth. You can pre order both

1062
01:35:36.720 --> 01:35:42.800
of those now, and the steel
book version of this is available in Amazon.

1063
01:35:42.840 --> 01:35:49.920
Should be available pretty much everywhere,
says the reverse. Region three.

1064
01:35:50.279 --> 01:35:59.920
That's great. The burning I love
it. Next title is a big one

1065
01:36:00.199 --> 01:36:04.680
in the pigsty I'm not gonna talk
about Cholas Cage at all, not I

1066
01:36:04.680 --> 01:36:11.600
mean, if you really want to, okay anything on Willie's Wonderland. Well,

1067
01:36:11.640 --> 01:36:15.079
there was a recent article in the
New Yorker, you know, the

1068
01:36:15.119 --> 01:36:25.680
New Yorker magazine, about Nicholas Cage, his and his recent sort of resurgence

1069
01:36:26.000 --> 01:36:34.000
of reputation. Among serious film critics, and I don't think this film made

1070
01:36:34.039 --> 01:36:42.680
the cut, but that new one
worries in everybody's dreams. Yeah, it

1071
01:36:42.720 --> 01:36:45.840
was interesting because they talked about,
you know, he was he was among

1072
01:36:45.880 --> 01:36:53.039
a handful of actors of his generation
that were kind of anti method and didn't

1073
01:36:53.079 --> 01:37:01.079
necessarily care about realism in their acting
styles, which explains his his insistence on

1074
01:37:01.199 --> 01:37:09.319
wearing like fake buck teeth and Piggy
Sue got married and his his acting style

1075
01:37:09.359 --> 01:37:14.039
and Valley Girl and his conflict with
the Coen Brothers and Raising air Zone and

1076
01:37:14.039 --> 01:37:15.640
the production of Raising aar Zone and
so on. Anyway, it was an

1077
01:37:15.640 --> 01:37:24.960
interesting article, and Cage was kind
of frank about his awareness of his memification,

1078
01:37:25.600 --> 01:37:32.560
which I thought was interesting. Based
on the cover, I'm assuming that

1079
01:37:32.840 --> 01:37:38.039
the when did this come out twenty
twenty one? Are they trying to like

1080
01:37:38.159 --> 01:37:44.279
cash in on a finof thing or
something. Yes, But the funny thing

1081
01:37:44.359 --> 01:37:47.560
is most people seem, well,
I shouldn't generalize like that, but many

1082
01:37:47.560 --> 01:37:50.920
people seem to prefer this over the
Five Nights of Freddy's movie. Well,

1083
01:37:50.960 --> 01:37:54.039
I didn't care for the film.
I mean, my daughter liked it.

1084
01:37:54.159 --> 01:38:00.920
But but speaking of the joke move
film, we just talked about Nicholas Cage

1085
01:38:00.960 --> 01:38:05.760
doesn't speak in this whole movie.
Oh, really doesn't say a single word.

1086
01:38:06.079 --> 01:38:10.520
Well that's interesting, and for somebody
like Cage, you would think that

1087
01:38:10.520 --> 01:38:15.760
they would want him to. Yeah, but he's also very emotive. Oh,

1088
01:38:15.920 --> 01:38:17.560
extremely, of course, I've kind
of checked. I don't know,

1089
01:38:17.640 --> 01:38:21.279
I kind of want to check this
out now, John Demarsco taking the word

1090
01:38:21.279 --> 01:38:25.439
out of my mouth right after I
yeah, I mean normally, yeah,

1091
01:38:25.520 --> 01:38:29.039
normally I want him to talk.
I gotta tell you though, I thought

1092
01:38:29.239 --> 01:38:38.239
I thought Mandy sucked, So I'm
interested in checking out some other resurgent film.

1093
01:38:38.800 --> 01:38:46.680
Well that's enough, will uh wow, many Mandy sucked, mister cancel

1094
01:38:46.760 --> 01:38:51.279
culture over here coming at me with
the woke brigade just because of one opinion.

1095
01:38:51.319 --> 01:38:55.760
You deserve it. Mandy sucked.
Yeah, I didn't care for Mandy.

1096
01:38:58.479 --> 01:39:04.600
Oh look, my wife only likes
horror movies and she didn't like Mandy

1097
01:39:04.640 --> 01:39:13.119
either, and you know, don't
mess with her. Stan says you're wrong.

1098
01:39:13.640 --> 01:39:16.359
Silent Mandible says, we'll wait,
wait, your PhD is mine now,

1099
01:39:16.359 --> 01:39:21.960
Buddy Dallas is laughing at my face
after that. Well, you know

1100
01:39:23.000 --> 01:39:28.199
what, I actually I'll take that. Nobody got mad when I said I

1101
01:39:28.199 --> 01:39:31.479
didn't like Oppenheimer. And I appreciate
that because that means that means we've got

1102
01:39:31.479 --> 01:39:38.079
a reasonable crowd. But also Sam
Deegan agreed with you, Openheimer. I

1103
01:39:38.079 --> 01:39:44.960
don't know what Sam thinks of of
Mandy. I uh, yeah, I

1104
01:39:45.039 --> 01:39:48.439
just Andy just didn't work. I
wanted it to work for me. It

1105
01:39:48.479 --> 01:40:00.600
just didn't, uh John open Iver
Silence of the Lambs and Mandy. Yeah,

1106
01:40:00.600 --> 01:40:06.399
you're right. Look, I'm not. I I recognize that I'm the

1107
01:40:06.479 --> 01:40:15.399
problem, but I would appreciate you
spell my name correctly. Anyways, Let's

1108
01:40:15.399 --> 01:40:19.119
go to one that I hope you
love because I love this movie. Tenacious

1109
01:40:19.159 --> 01:40:25.439
D in the Piccadestiny is finally making
its HD debut on Blu Ray from Shout

1110
01:40:25.439 --> 01:40:30.920
Factory. It's coming on the Shout
Select line. This is one that is

1111
01:40:30.920 --> 01:40:32.920
obviously a little frustrating, so we
don't know any of the special features.

1112
01:40:32.960 --> 01:40:36.640
Of course, final extras and specs
will be confirmed at a later date.

1113
01:40:38.000 --> 01:40:41.000
They're not doing a poster for this. It's not a collector's edition, so

1114
01:40:41.039 --> 01:40:45.560
I'm not expecting too much. But
the biggest thing for me is the rumor

1115
01:40:45.800 --> 01:40:48.960
a couple well gosh by this point, it's probably been nine or ten months.

1116
01:40:49.359 --> 01:40:55.000
Somebody from Arrow hinted that they had
it, So now I'm curious if

1117
01:40:55.159 --> 01:40:59.119
Arrow is going to release it in
the UK. Maybe, and I'm willing

1118
01:40:59.159 --> 01:41:02.880
to bet Arrow would do about eighty
four and twelve percent better with it than

1119
01:41:02.880 --> 01:41:14.079
Shout would Wow Shout Shout Shout at
the Arrow Motley krue No, I got

1120
01:41:14.079 --> 01:41:20.000
that. Uh. First off,
what have you seen the movie? What

1121
01:41:20.000 --> 01:41:25.239
do you think of the movie?
I have this seems like a Will movie.

1122
01:41:28.000 --> 01:41:32.399
Why? Why? Why did you
say that I wanted to like it?

1123
01:41:32.880 --> 01:41:35.479
Jesus Christ? Well, why do
we have you on every month?

1124
01:41:36.760 --> 01:41:43.760
I don't know. I don't I
don't want to be here. You can

1125
01:41:43.800 --> 01:41:50.000
go back to prison, go back
to prison, me and me and Dax

1126
01:41:50.159 --> 01:41:57.960
Shepherd. Uh. Anyways, I
love this movie. Coming out February thirteenth

1127
01:41:58.000 --> 01:42:01.560
on Blu Ray. Next one favorite. They're doing The Terminal Man from nineteen

1128
01:42:01.600 --> 01:42:05.520
seventy four. No extras listed,
and it doesn't even show that they're working

1129
01:42:05.520 --> 01:42:10.920
on extras for this one, so
I would expect nothing. But also,

1130
01:42:11.560 --> 01:42:16.000
when you're terminal, what's the point. This one's interesting because it used to

1131
01:42:16.000 --> 01:42:20.079
be a Warner Archive DVD and so
it's yet another one that Warner Archive is

1132
01:42:20.119 --> 01:42:25.319
letting go, which is kind of
a good sign. I mean, I

1133
01:42:25.359 --> 01:42:29.840
like what Warner Archive does, but
they probably shout I'm sure it's just using

1134
01:42:29.840 --> 01:42:33.159
a Warner Archive scan potentially for this. Not not much else that they could

1135
01:42:33.199 --> 01:42:45.479
do. But I'm getting killed.
I mean, it's a really funny covet.

1136
01:42:46.119 --> 01:42:50.840
I'm getting killed. Wait what movie
am I even talking about? The

1137
01:42:50.960 --> 01:42:56.119
terminal Man? None of the one
that I didn't like it, TENACIOUSD in

1138
01:42:56.159 --> 01:43:01.600
the Pick of Destiny. No,
the one that they're mad about, like

1139
01:43:01.720 --> 01:43:05.159
one of the seven titles that you've
pissed everybody off with. Mandy was so

1140
01:43:05.359 --> 01:43:15.800
unmemorable to me that I forgot already. I didn't like it. I'm testing

1141
01:43:15.840 --> 01:43:20.840
the goodwill of the If this is
the goodwill, then we've got issues.

1142
01:43:21.439 --> 01:43:28.720
No, I'm dead. Yeah,
right, Look, it's okay to like

1143
01:43:28.800 --> 01:43:31.520
Mandy. Like, I'm not mad
at anybody for like a Mandy, So

1144
01:43:31.560 --> 01:43:33.720
why would anybody get mad at me
for that? Like it? I don't

1145
01:43:33.760 --> 01:43:39.680
know. John says, let's talk
taranteedo and really get Will sent back to

1146
01:43:39.720 --> 01:43:44.239
prison. Oh man, Uh,
some guys brought it up tonight, and

1147
01:43:44.279 --> 01:43:47.760
I had to really think about how
I talked about it, because I was

1148
01:43:47.800 --> 01:43:50.960
like, what kind of crowd am
I dealing with? And so I went

1149
01:43:51.000 --> 01:43:56.319
with the one thing that I knew
was safe to say. I said Jackie

1150
01:43:56.359 --> 01:44:00.880
Brown is his best movie. And
everybody was like, that's right, that's

1151
01:44:00.960 --> 01:44:06.960
right. Somehow that still sounds a
little bit racist. Next time, Oh

1152
01:44:08.000 --> 01:44:19.159
my god, Oh your reactions are
pretty funny. I love it. Next

1153
01:44:19.159 --> 01:44:26.000
title, Sam Raimi's dark Man from
nineteen ninety is getting a four K release

1154
01:44:26.079 --> 01:44:30.800
on February twentieth, and a standard
collector's edition and a steel book art on

1155
01:44:30.800 --> 01:44:32.479
the steel book on this is pretty
damn nice. I wish they did this

1156
01:44:32.520 --> 01:44:38.680
as a like a Lion's Gate slipcover
steel book where the cutout was on the

1157
01:44:38.720 --> 01:44:44.159
plastic sleeve, but alas they are
not. What do you think of dark

1158
01:44:44.199 --> 01:44:50.760
Man? Hot take? I like
it. I mean it's not a bad

1159
01:44:50.800 --> 01:44:58.680
movie. Oh are you kidding?
Like no, I think this is actually

1160
01:44:58.680 --> 01:45:04.520
really good. I'm sure you do. I love Larry Drake in it.

1161
01:45:04.920 --> 01:45:10.439
I think that. I think actually
dark Man is one of the underrated Sam

1162
01:45:10.479 --> 01:45:18.319
Raimon movies because the the the sort
of comedy dark you know, dark tone

1163
01:45:19.039 --> 01:45:30.840
shift. It really works great.
Yeah, yeah, what. It's just

1164
01:45:30.880 --> 01:45:35.960
a funny answer response. I don't
know. Uh, I don't know what.

1165
01:45:36.039 --> 01:45:40.279
Just like now now I don't know
what to say about things. You

1166
01:45:40.279 --> 01:45:43.600
can say I like Mandy and I
like TENACIOUSD in the Pick of Destiny.

1167
01:45:45.439 --> 01:45:48.159
I wanted to like Mandy and I
wanted to like the Tenacious Dy in the

1168
01:45:48.159 --> 01:45:53.079
Pick of Destiny just like, just
like when I bought the Tenacious D album,

1169
01:45:53.159 --> 01:45:57.560
I like, I thought wonder Boy
was incredible. I thought the tribute

1170
01:45:57.640 --> 01:46:01.920
was incredible, the d O song
Man, the Dio song was incredible.

1171
01:46:02.199 --> 01:46:03.960
Then the rest of the album,
I was like, God, damn,

1172
01:46:04.279 --> 01:46:11.439
this isn't Yeah, No, I
don't because I like them all. Yeah,

1173
01:46:11.520 --> 01:46:15.079
I just something wrong with me.
Somebody somebody said in the chat that

1174
01:46:15.119 --> 01:46:19.560
it was that. It was like
a it's not you, it's me situation,

1175
01:46:19.760 --> 01:46:24.680
and they're right. I don't.
I don't want to. I don't

1176
01:46:24.680 --> 01:46:30.079
want you to think I'm shitting on
your as your things you love. But

1177
01:46:30.159 --> 01:46:33.840
I can't say that I like something
that I don't like. I get it.

1178
01:46:34.600 --> 01:46:38.640
Uh. Dark Man is also coming
out in a couple of different packages.

1179
01:46:39.039 --> 01:46:42.880
Shout is back doing some of their
fancy Let's Throw Everything in releases.

1180
01:46:42.960 --> 01:46:46.479
This one is gonna have the regular
edition with the slip cover and the steel

1181
01:46:46.479 --> 01:46:51.760
book, plus a single pin,
plus a single prism sticker, plus both

1182
01:46:51.800 --> 01:46:58.359
posters and lobby cards. They're also
putting out the steel book, poster,

1183
01:46:58.479 --> 01:47:04.079
pin, lobby card, prisms sticker, all of those in one giant you

1184
01:47:04.119 --> 01:47:10.079
know, put everything together package.
But some of the pricing on this will

1185
01:47:10.239 --> 01:47:14.479
when you're looking at a release of
the lobby cards, a release of Dark

1186
01:47:14.560 --> 01:47:18.800
Man on four K that you get
both releases four K steel book and standard,

1187
01:47:18.880 --> 01:47:26.319
two posters, a single pin,
a single sticker, and some lobby

1188
01:47:26.319 --> 01:47:28.840
cards. How much do you think
you would be willing to pay for this?

1189
01:47:28.880 --> 01:47:34.359
Will? This is like the opposite
of an infomercial. Just how much

1190
01:47:34.399 --> 01:47:39.199
do you think you'd be willing to
pay for two releases of the same film.

1191
01:47:40.079 --> 01:47:42.439
I'll tell you one thing, I
wouldn't pay a goddamn cent for a

1192
01:47:42.439 --> 01:47:44.840
lobby card. What I'm gonna do
with the lobby cards, I don't.

1193
01:47:44.840 --> 01:47:48.920
I don't understand lobby cards in general. Will What if I told you this

1194
01:47:49.159 --> 01:47:53.560
was ninety nine dollars for all of
this, then I would tell you I'd

1195
01:47:53.600 --> 01:47:56.960
not be picking up this package.
Uh, it's wrong, It's actually one

1196
01:47:57.039 --> 01:48:02.199
hundred and thirty dollars. Oh shit
for two copies of the same movie and

1197
01:48:02.359 --> 01:48:10.800
some lobby cards and a single pin
and a single sticker. Wow. Uh.

1198
01:48:11.439 --> 01:48:15.800
They'll follow up this up with the
underseen Samurai bi film for Love of

1199
01:48:15.920 --> 01:48:24.239
Swindle. I'm so glad that just
worked out because I thought you were gonna

1200
01:48:24.239 --> 01:48:26.600
be like one hundred dollars. That's
less than expected. No, you went

1201
01:48:26.640 --> 01:48:30.439
all in. That joke worked perfect. Uh yeah, this is this is

1202
01:48:30.680 --> 01:48:36.960
rough for two copies of the same
movie. I like, how could you

1203
01:48:38.000 --> 01:48:43.079
tell your kids you've done something like
that? I mean, you know what

1204
01:48:43.119 --> 01:48:48.359
I mean? Like, that's that's
like the the darkest, the darkest timeline

1205
01:48:48.479 --> 01:48:54.159
version of It's a Wonderful Life or
something. You come home and be like

1206
01:48:54.479 --> 01:49:00.239
about the dark Man set there'll be
there'll be no Christmas this year, zooszoo.

1207
01:49:00.119 --> 01:49:05.359
But I also got a prism sticker, so it's okay now, but

1208
01:49:05.479 --> 01:49:11.159
you can't open it because it will
lose its value instantly. It'll lose its

1209
01:49:11.199 --> 01:49:16.640
fifteen dollars value. Yeah. Brendan
Tennis points out you can get ten centers

1210
01:49:18.399 --> 01:49:24.600
with all of them with higher quality
slipcovers than the slipcover, and each of

1211
01:49:24.640 --> 01:49:31.239
them has a bonus film Jesus.
Oh boy, well, look I love

1212
01:49:31.359 --> 01:49:36.880
dart Man and one of the all
time great Bruce Campbell cameo shots at the

1213
01:49:36.960 --> 01:49:46.199
end. But yeah, there's no
way dude on to Jess Franco onto Will's

1214
01:49:46.199 --> 01:49:53.319
favorite Jess Franco. First question I
got to ask March twenty sixth, coming

1215
01:49:53.359 --> 01:49:58.399
on four K from Blue Underground,
the big question Night of the blood Monster.

1216
01:49:58.479 --> 01:50:00.720
Which is the US name or the
Bloody Judge? Which do you prefer?

1217
01:50:00.800 --> 01:50:05.600
Will Well, I definitely prefer that
cover. It's a good cover.

1218
01:50:08.319 --> 01:50:13.039
No, I actually did not know
that alternate title, not the blood Monster.

1219
01:50:13.800 --> 01:50:18.000
I've had. I've got the eighty
eight Films version of Bloody Judge.

1220
01:50:18.159 --> 01:50:23.600
Is it eighty eight? Yes?
Yes, And I've got the Blue Underground

1221
01:50:23.680 --> 01:50:29.920
DVD of Bloody Judge. So wait, they called it the Bloody Judge on

1222
01:50:30.000 --> 01:50:32.920
DVD, but not on four K. This is the first four K.

1223
01:50:33.600 --> 01:50:38.760
The Blue Underground DVD release is called
the Bloody Judge, the Bloody Judge.

1224
01:50:38.800 --> 01:50:43.359
I can't say it. Yeah,
hm, so I don't know. I

1225
01:50:43.479 --> 01:50:48.239
think, I mean not little blood
Monster is objectively a better title, even

1226
01:50:48.279 --> 01:50:56.159
if it's not as descriptive. So
this is a world premiere of a brand

1227
01:50:56.199 --> 01:51:00.960
new twenty twenty three four K master
of the complete uncensored verse of the film.

1228
01:51:00.079 --> 01:51:03.600
This is going to have an embossed
lip cover reversibal sleeve. An audio

1229
01:51:03.640 --> 01:51:10.560
commentary with Troy Howarth and Nathaniel Thompson. An audio commentary with Kim Newman and

1230
01:51:10.640 --> 01:51:15.239
Barry Forshaw. Another audio commentary with
David Flint and Adrian Smith. Interviews with

1231
01:51:15.439 --> 01:51:21.159
Jess Franco and Christopher Lee. Interview
with Stephen Thrower who wrote the tomb on

1232
01:51:21.479 --> 01:51:27.039
Jess Franco, of course, and
then interviews Tom Yeah, interviews with filmmaker

1233
01:51:27.079 --> 01:51:31.920
Alan Birkinshaw and Steven Thrower on Harry
Allen Towers deleted in alternate scenes, and

1234
01:51:32.159 --> 01:51:36.600
some trailer's TV spot all that fun
stuff. This is a pretty good looking

1235
01:51:36.600 --> 01:51:49.600
release. This amazing three commentaries with
six people talking about comedies. The FED

1236
01:51:49.720 --> 01:51:54.800
raising interest rates is making shell factory
purchases out of reach for the average American.

1237
01:51:55.359 --> 01:51:58.479
I don't know that interest rates are
affecting it much. I think it's

1238
01:51:58.560 --> 01:52:03.000
probably greed. Well, that is
a that is a great comment and thanks

1239
01:52:03.000 --> 01:52:05.680
for the donation there. In ni
Coimedies, that's at the heart of it.

1240
01:52:08.640 --> 01:52:14.119
And the good thing about donations to
the disconnected is that they are right

1241
01:52:14.199 --> 01:52:17.760
offs, right you, right off? You do that. I'm I'm not

1242
01:52:17.760 --> 01:52:24.399
sure. I'm not a tax expert. Ask your uncle. My uncle works

1243
01:52:24.399 --> 01:52:30.199
at a paper factory. Is he
printing money? That would be useful?

1244
01:52:30.119 --> 01:52:38.239
Man? He does? Reams,
uh, bloody judge, what do you?

1245
01:52:38.279 --> 01:52:41.640
What do you think of this one? And the whole vice Franco O,

1246
01:52:43.119 --> 01:52:47.680
I like it. It's a you
know, it's a it's a it's

1247
01:52:47.720 --> 01:52:55.319
a good you know, inquisition story. It would be a good double feature

1248
01:52:55.399 --> 01:53:03.920
with like Witchfinder General or or what's
that movie, Mask of Vinegar Syndrome just

1249
01:53:03.920 --> 01:53:15.319
put out No. Four Mark of
the Devil the Torture. Yeah, with

1250
01:53:15.560 --> 01:53:25.640
the mm hmm with here yeah.
Uh. What I'm gonna say, if

1251
01:53:26.000 --> 01:53:29.840
you like Jess Franco, you're gonna
like this. This is if you don't

1252
01:53:29.840 --> 01:53:34.079
really know just Franco, this is
more of like a uh, this is

1253
01:53:34.079 --> 01:53:40.439
more recognizable as a film. I
mean, like it's the kind of it's

1254
01:53:40.439 --> 01:53:45.800
the kind of it's the kind of
pacing and and and composition that that that

1255
01:53:45.840 --> 01:53:48.760
should be more used to if you're
not familiar with Franco. So it's a

1256
01:53:48.760 --> 01:53:57.319
good entry, uh entry film for
those who are maybe wanting to try Jess

1257
01:53:57.319 --> 01:54:00.680
Franco. If you're already into Jess
Franco, yeah, you already probably liked

1258
01:54:00.720 --> 01:54:05.479
this. Sivenor wants to know does
this live up to the cover that we

1259
01:54:05.560 --> 01:54:14.039
say, you know, yeah,
more or less interesting. We had somebody

1260
01:54:14.039 --> 01:54:18.319
ask earlier, what, in your
opinion, is just Franco's worst film.

1261
01:54:18.600 --> 01:54:25.640
Well, to cause something worse,
you'd have to really define what that word

1262
01:54:25.760 --> 01:54:29.079
means. I mean, unless it's
Mandy, then will can start ranting immediately.

1263
01:54:30.600 --> 01:54:31.640
All I'm saying is I didn't like
Mandy. I didn't say it was

1264
01:54:31.680 --> 01:54:35.720
a bad movie in any way.
I want to make that clear. It

1265
01:54:35.880 --> 01:54:40.960
just it wasn't for me. We're
going to dig into this until it's not

1266
01:54:40.960 --> 01:54:45.600
funny anymore. You know, if
every movie is someone's favorite movie, then

1267
01:54:45.680 --> 01:54:48.840
every movie also has to be someone's, like, not favorite movie. We

1268
01:54:48.880 --> 01:54:54.319
don't talk about the negative, William, Well, you're asking me what I

1269
01:54:54.359 --> 01:54:59.760
think Franko's worst film is, just
because somebody asked your opinion because they know

1270
01:54:59.760 --> 01:55:02.000
that you are passionate about Jess Franco. Well, here's a good question,

1271
01:55:02.039 --> 01:55:05.119
which is better, Bloody Moon or
Bloody Judge? And I don't think I

1272
01:55:05.119 --> 01:55:10.840
could say, because they're so different. They're completely different genres and styles,

1273
01:55:12.640 --> 01:55:15.800
And what you like about Bloody Moon
will have like you won't even be able

1274
01:55:15.800 --> 01:55:18.560
to recognize and Bloody Judge, and
vice versa. What if you're like me

1275
01:55:18.600 --> 01:55:26.520
and liked pretty much nothing about Bloody
Moon well like And as far as if

1276
01:55:26.560 --> 01:55:29.279
I had to choose which one I
wanted to watch on a given night,

1277
01:55:29.319 --> 01:55:34.800
I probably go with Bloody Judge just
because I like Christopher Lee and this film

1278
01:55:34.880 --> 01:55:43.239
has some resonance with with other Inquisition
horror films and hammer films and things like

1279
01:55:43.279 --> 01:55:46.319
that. But Bloody Moon, I
think is really interesting. You know,

1280
01:55:46.680 --> 01:55:55.239
I agree with Petrol Motovar that it's
a really interesting film. Now, I

1281
01:55:55.239 --> 01:55:58.760
think I think most people would agree
that. If you're going to answer the

1282
01:55:58.840 --> 01:56:03.880
question, what is Franco's worst film
would be one of his later digital movies

1283
01:56:03.920 --> 01:56:09.800
that he makes made in his apartment. Yeah, so d Cinder as his

1284
01:56:09.880 --> 01:56:13.159
center is worth picking up from Keno, And I'll answer that with, well,

1285
01:56:13.239 --> 01:56:18.159
do you think Citizen Kane is a
good movie? If you think Citizen

1286
01:56:18.239 --> 01:56:23.279
Kane is a good movie, but
you want to swap Charles Foster Kane out

1287
01:56:23.319 --> 01:56:30.239
with like a murderous prostitute. Then
yes you should pick up Center from Quino

1288
01:56:30.319 --> 01:56:41.600
because it is Citizen kaneh next title, The Horrible Doctor Hitchcock. This is

1289
01:56:41.600 --> 01:56:45.279
one that just got released in the
UK by Radiance and is now being released

1290
01:56:45.359 --> 01:56:50.880
in the US by Vinegar Syndrome in
January on four K. And it sounds

1291
01:56:50.960 --> 01:56:58.079
like this is going to have a
slew of exclusive extras, a slew of

1292
01:56:58.640 --> 01:57:01.600
new stuff that was not on that
re release. And this says it will

1293
01:57:01.600 --> 01:57:05.880
be a part of our twenty twenty
four subscriber week lineup, which will run

1294
01:57:05.920 --> 01:57:11.720
from January first through seventh, which
will see daily unveilings of our next vsu

1295
01:57:11.880 --> 01:57:16.039
VSA and several other big surprises.
But on top of that, go ahead

1296
01:57:16.039 --> 01:57:23.439
will I just said dag On Oh, this wasn't announced as part of that,

1297
01:57:23.800 --> 01:57:29.399
but on one of the individuals that's
going to be on this, he

1298
01:57:29.560 --> 01:57:32.640
had posted elsewhere that as far as
extras are concerned, you will not be

1299
01:57:32.680 --> 01:57:38.159
disappointed. Besides an interview with Barbara
Steele, you can also expect to find

1300
01:57:38.199 --> 01:57:42.279
a brand new interview with the writer
or Nesto Gstaldi, two f urettes starring

1301
01:57:42.319 --> 01:57:47.000
longtime Free to collaborator Marcello Avelone and
a newly recorded audio commentary with Troy Howarth,

1302
01:57:47.199 --> 01:57:51.439
Nathaniel Thompson and Augenio er Colani.
So there will be a lot on

1303
01:57:51.479 --> 01:57:56.079
this disc. Yeah, have you
had all three of them? Wait?

1304
01:57:56.199 --> 01:58:00.560
Have you had who is the mill
guy? Troy Howarth and Nathaniel Thompson?

1305
01:58:00.640 --> 01:58:03.840
Yes, all three? You've had
all three on this channel. Yes,

1306
01:58:04.520 --> 01:58:09.720
that's amazing, dude, multiple times
on all three. I think that's amazing,

1307
01:58:09.800 --> 01:58:14.359
dude. Yes. Yeah, that's
a fun one. What an exciting

1308
01:58:14.399 --> 01:58:16.880
title. And look at that cover
art. The back could not possibly be

1309
01:58:16.920 --> 01:58:20.600
as good. And this is the
cover art for the hard box. It

1310
01:58:20.680 --> 01:58:27.760
is going to be probably a box
with a slip able with the hard box.

1311
01:58:30.920 --> 01:58:34.119
Yes, this is the hard case
artwork for the Horrible Doctor Hitchcock,

1312
01:58:34.479 --> 01:58:39.520
Too Bad at eight and Tom for
shelf Shock. Well, it will be

1313
01:58:39.600 --> 01:58:44.800
for next year. They also say
in here this is one of many Italian

1314
01:58:44.800 --> 01:58:50.960
films planned for twenty twenty four,
including Morgiali Gothic Horror and eighties supernatural madness.

1315
01:58:53.359 --> 01:59:00.279
Oh hell yeah. Next title is
a Keno, a re release of

1316
01:59:00.359 --> 01:59:05.279
Witness for the Prosecution from nineteen fifty
seven. This gets a new audio commentary

1317
01:59:05.319 --> 01:59:10.479
by Joseph McBride, the author of
the Billy Wilder Dancing on the edgebook.

1318
01:59:10.680 --> 01:59:14.920
This is now going to have the
BED fifty disc instead of a BT twenty

1319
01:59:14.960 --> 01:59:17.880
five, and it's got a new
audio commentary with English subtitles. And the

1320
01:59:17.880 --> 01:59:23.720
previous release did not have subs,
so it's a re release, but it'll

1321
01:59:23.720 --> 01:59:29.680
look better. Oh get it.
This movie is awesome. It's got a

1322
01:59:29.680 --> 01:59:36.079
segment from Vocus Schlanderf's documentary Billy Wilder
Speaks, which is a great documentary.

1323
01:59:38.760 --> 01:59:44.680
And this is a great film.
It's way better than any of the films

1324
01:59:44.720 --> 01:59:53.760
we've talked about tonight except for Mandy. Next title, Platoon is getting a

1325
01:59:53.800 --> 01:59:59.800
Walmart exclusive four K steelbook from Shout
and MGM, coming on February twenty seventh.

1326
02:00:00.199 --> 02:00:01.680
And now this is where it starts
to get weird because, just like

1327
02:00:01.760 --> 02:00:05.760
they were doing for Best Buy,
Shout is not announcing this. Uh.

1328
02:00:06.319 --> 02:00:11.520
This just showed up on Walmart and
people found it. It's not something that

1329
02:00:11.560 --> 02:00:15.680
Shout is advertising, saying that they're
putting out or anything like that. Uh.

1330
02:00:15.159 --> 02:00:20.039
This is unfortunately the same exact scan
that they put on their other four

1331
02:00:20.119 --> 02:00:27.359
K, which looks like it looks
like ass and not good ass, like

1332
02:00:27.640 --> 02:00:32.720
really bad ass and not bad ass
in a cool way, like terrible ass,

1333
02:00:34.319 --> 02:00:41.960
flat ass, even worse flat might
might almost be an improvement. Wow,

1334
02:00:42.600 --> 02:00:45.520
yeah, David says, not to
be that guy. But why no

1335
02:00:45.600 --> 02:00:49.399
four K on witness for the prosecution
because KENO doesn't do a lot of their

1336
02:00:49.399 --> 02:00:53.359
own scans. They're not doing a
new scan on that. It's up to

1337
02:00:53.399 --> 02:00:59.680
the studio. Unfortunately, it's not
the medical, says concave Ass. Walmart

1338
02:00:59.760 --> 02:01:02.199
does support the troops. I'll tell
you a funny story. Well, I

1339
02:01:02.239 --> 02:01:11.079
don't know if it's actually funny,
but in nineteen ninety four, I went

1340
02:01:11.199 --> 02:01:20.720
to what was then called the because
I went to what was then called Clinch

1341
02:01:20.840 --> 02:01:26.640
Valley College in southwestern Virginia. It's
now called UVA College at Wise. Do

1342
02:01:26.720 --> 02:01:30.359
you say Clinch Valley, Clinch Valley. Yeah, after we're talking about ass,

1343
02:01:30.399 --> 02:01:32.600
you just say Clinch Valley. Like
that's not a joke. I'm sorry,

1344
02:01:32.960 --> 02:01:35.760
No, that's what I thought of
the story. Okay, I went

1345
02:01:35.840 --> 02:01:45.399
to I went to Clinch Valley,
which is now called the UVA College at

1346
02:01:45.399 --> 02:01:50.920
Wise. To make it so it's
technically it's Clench with an I, but

1347
02:01:51.000 --> 02:01:56.119
yeah, Clinch Valley. But anyway, I went there for a it was

1348
02:01:56.119 --> 02:02:05.760
like a summer program for school kids
or whatever, and our chaperones took us

1349
02:02:05.960 --> 02:02:11.680
on a night on the town,
which involved like going to Walmart. And

1350
02:02:12.520 --> 02:02:15.920
this is in what this is?
Well, this is I mean, this

1351
02:02:16.039 --> 02:02:20.960
is in I've told the story about
Pound, Virginia where it's illegal to dance,

1352
02:02:21.079 --> 02:02:27.039
right I think, so, yeah, that's where that was. Anyways,

1353
02:02:27.079 --> 02:02:30.039
we go to Walmart for our night
out on the town and I found

1354
02:02:30.079 --> 02:02:36.359
a little rack there for five dollars
these these T shirts that had these it

1355
02:02:36.479 --> 02:02:40.960
was like a guy in a muscle
shirt with these like huge muscles, holding

1356
02:02:41.000 --> 02:02:45.800
a pickaxe and with a hard hat, and it said I dig coal and

1357
02:02:45.000 --> 02:02:53.119
Walmart supports me, which you know
it is not true, Like Walmart doesn't

1358
02:02:53.159 --> 02:02:57.479
support any poor fuckers. You know, it's it's it's sucking the blood out

1359
02:02:57.520 --> 02:03:02.760
of your necks, right, And
so I bought the shirt and I still

1360
02:03:02.760 --> 02:03:08.720
have it. I still wear it
twenty some years later, No, thirty

1361
02:03:09.239 --> 02:03:15.680
thirty thirty years later. It's probably
the it's probably the highest quality T shirt

1362
02:03:15.680 --> 02:03:23.840
ever sold by Walmart. That's really
funny. Yeah, I'll try and find

1363
02:03:23.840 --> 02:03:27.600
it for the next episode, in
case anybody wants to see I would love

1364
02:03:27.640 --> 02:03:32.199
to see you wearing that the next
and Walmart supports me. Yeah yeah,

1365
02:03:32.279 --> 02:03:41.479
right next. One steel book coming
from Shout and MGM again The Magnificent Seven

1366
02:03:41.600 --> 02:03:45.039
in four K. This is also
coming as a Walmart exclusive on February twenty

1367
02:03:45.119 --> 02:03:50.079
seventh. Nothing new again, not
being advertised, just an odd situation.

1368
02:03:50.399 --> 02:03:54.600
I still don't understand why Shout's not
like, hey, we're putting this out.

1369
02:03:54.720 --> 02:03:59.039
Do they not care? Well?
You know now, they're gonna be

1370
02:03:59.079 --> 02:04:05.680
like movies to be announced at a
later time. We're gonna be selling a

1371
02:04:05.680 --> 02:04:09.239
steel book. We'll let you know
what it is the day after it's on

1372
02:04:09.359 --> 02:04:18.520
sale, right, steel Book of
Clifford. Which one you'll find out later.

1373
02:04:18.680 --> 02:04:25.640
It might be the animated show or
it could be Margin, which is

1374
02:04:25.680 --> 02:04:30.439
better. It depends on how drunk
you are, hey, speaking of drunks.

1375
02:04:30.000 --> 02:04:45.000
Jeremy Longs here help Wow love oh
will uh. Eureka had a couple

1376
02:04:45.039 --> 02:04:49.319
announcements today. First, one Bodyguard
Kiba one and two double bill of Japanese

1377
02:04:49.359 --> 02:04:55.199
martial arts Mayhem is starring action superstar
Sonny Chiba. This is coming with a

1378
02:04:55.239 --> 02:05:00.640
new feature length commentary on both films
in this Uh, this is gonna have

1379
02:05:00.760 --> 02:05:04.039
the alternate US version of Bodyguard Keeba
and a brand new documentary featurette looking at

1380
02:05:04.079 --> 02:05:11.319
Sonny Chiba's Bodyguard Kiba films. Uh. Eureka just doing more and more and

1381
02:05:11.359 --> 02:05:16.359
more with these this is it's kind
of crazy because Eureka used to be not

1382
02:05:16.439 --> 02:05:18.920
that they're not, because they still
do a handful every year, but like

1383
02:05:19.000 --> 02:05:24.920
Masters of Cinema was their big draw, and now they're doing like ninety five

1384
02:05:24.960 --> 02:05:28.760
percent martial arts titles. It's kind
of a weird turn. And people are

1385
02:05:28.800 --> 02:05:35.239
starting to complain on their posts.
Why because it's not exactly what that individual

1386
02:05:35.319 --> 02:05:40.560
wants. Of course, Oh okay, well steal book four K Mandy,

1387
02:05:40.680 --> 02:05:46.760
I guess so the opposite, that's
the funny part. They really want like

1388
02:05:46.800 --> 02:05:50.920
old school classics. Well that's all. That's all good and stuff, But

1389
02:05:51.039 --> 02:05:58.960
you know, I like, I
like, well, what's the what's the

1390
02:05:58.960 --> 02:06:05.800
line that Lawrence Olivier says in Spartacus, I like oysters and clams. He

1391
02:06:05.840 --> 02:06:11.359
was talking about being a bisexual.
But I'm talking about being a bisexual and

1392
02:06:12.039 --> 02:06:17.319
liking martial arts and classic films.
It's funny. Buddyguard Keeba came up tonight

1393
02:06:17.399 --> 02:06:21.079
because one of the inmates asked what
I thought of Tarantino, and I talked

1394
02:06:21.119 --> 02:06:27.520
about I was trying to be diplomatic. We talked about Jackie Brown and everything,

1395
02:06:27.920 --> 02:06:30.079
but then of course pulp fiction comes
up, and I had to be

1396
02:06:30.159 --> 02:06:33.560
like, Look, Tarantino didn't even
read his own bible. He got that

1397
02:06:33.640 --> 02:06:43.399
Ezekiel line from Bodyguard Keeba by Sonny
Chieva. You know, everything comes from

1398
02:06:43.760 --> 02:06:46.800
you know, he looked a dialogue
from Cleopatrick Jones, you know whatever.

1399
02:06:49.600 --> 02:06:53.880
I love the Bodyguard films. That's
what I'm trying to get to. I

1400
02:06:53.920 --> 02:06:57.520
need to see these. They look
like a great release. You've never seen

1401
02:06:57.560 --> 02:07:05.479
Bodyguard key Ball, and I've seen
pulp fiction at least twice. Pulp fiction

1402
02:07:05.640 --> 02:07:12.960
Jesus, the next one is a
very curious release. They are also putting

1403
02:07:12.960 --> 02:07:16.760
out a Joseph Quoh film called The
Swordsmen of All Swordsmen, and that is

1404
02:07:16.800 --> 02:07:24.520
from nineteen sixty eight, but the
probably bigger draw for many people back in

1405
02:07:24.640 --> 02:07:30.239
the day. There is a second
disc in this release, coming with the

1406
02:07:30.319 --> 02:07:38.520
Mystery of Chest Boxing. Now.
Unfortunately this one, this one has burned

1407
02:07:38.680 --> 02:07:42.439
in English subtitles, so you will
not be able to turn those off,

1408
02:07:42.880 --> 02:07:45.960
and they that's the best that they're
gonna be able to do on this release,

1409
02:07:46.079 --> 02:07:49.520
unfortunately. So I think that's the
main reason why they are not being

1410
02:07:49.520 --> 02:07:53.039
able to put that out on its
own release, because they know that some

1411
02:07:53.079 --> 02:07:57.960
people would complain again about that.
But now we're getting two films in one

1412
02:07:58.079 --> 02:08:03.000
release, and this will have have
a new feature length commentary by Frank Jang

1413
02:08:03.079 --> 02:08:05.800
and John Charles on The Swordsman of
All Swordsmen and then on Mystery of Chess

1414
02:08:05.800 --> 02:08:11.039
Boxing. You're gonna have a commentary
with Frank Jing and Michael Worth, but

1415
02:08:11.079 --> 02:08:16.880
also a commentary by Mike Leader and
Arna Venema. And uh, this looks

1416
02:08:16.920 --> 02:08:22.600
like again another must I release,
Like you put both of these films together?

1417
02:08:22.800 --> 02:08:28.680
How could you not? I can't
believe they couldn't get a single member

1418
02:08:28.680 --> 02:08:33.119
of the Wu Tang clan to talk
about Mystery of Chess Boxing. But whatever,

1419
02:08:33.520 --> 02:08:39.560
And that's the thing. Did did
they try? I would have?

1420
02:08:39.159 --> 02:08:46.039
I mean, look, at least
give us Master Killer, you should.

1421
02:08:46.920 --> 02:08:50.840
It sucks that it can't be its
own release, But at the same time,

1422
02:08:50.880 --> 02:08:54.079
maybe there'll be a US release of
this from like Disco Tech or something,

1423
02:08:54.279 --> 02:08:58.439
and they'll get some of that,
but who knows. We're a wu

1424
02:08:58.520 --> 02:09:03.199
Mard exclusive. God well, that
was worsted some of myypuns on the discord.

1425
02:09:05.079 --> 02:09:13.039
I liked it though, oh Man, next one up and we're almost

1426
02:09:13.039 --> 02:09:18.319
done. MVD is hosting a Synapse
film sale right now. It is going

1427
02:09:18.520 --> 02:09:24.479
until December eighteenth at noon Eastern,
And just like a lot of the MVD

1428
02:09:24.600 --> 02:09:28.319
titles, so many of their stuff, it's just been on sale consistently for

1429
02:09:28.359 --> 02:09:35.239
the last like six months. I
feel like there is always Synaps and arrowsale

1430
02:09:35.319 --> 02:09:37.920
going on lately. But if you're
missing any of these titles, or you

1431
02:09:37.960 --> 02:09:41.319
wanted some from the last sale and
missed out, this is the perfect time.

1432
02:09:43.199 --> 02:09:46.600
Unfortunately, I feel like the Synapse
stuff it never really goes down to

1433
02:09:46.640 --> 02:09:56.880
that great price point. So we'll
see. WHOA. Let me recommend a

1434
02:09:56.920 --> 02:10:01.880
SINAPS title whatever point? Uh invaluable
The True Story of an Epic Artist,

1435
02:10:03.720 --> 02:10:09.960
which is about the dude who did
a lot of the prop design and art

1436
02:10:09.079 --> 02:10:15.039
for Evil Dead. But the for
me, the best part of that disc

1437
02:10:15.159 --> 02:10:20.159
is as a bonus feature and has
the documentary Other Men's Careers, which is

1438
02:10:20.159 --> 02:10:26.560
about the filmmaker Josh Becker MMM who
directed Running Time, thou Shalt not kill

1439
02:10:26.640 --> 02:10:33.199
except Lunatics a love story. Uh, many of the best episodes of Xena,

1440
02:10:33.800 --> 02:10:39.199
Hercules and The Maze of the Minotaur
and on and on, and it's

1441
02:10:39.279 --> 02:10:43.520
definitely worth worth watching. Well,
both documentaries are worth it. But I

1442
02:10:43.520 --> 02:10:46.399
think that's for me. That's like
synaps, this best release of the year,

1443
02:10:46.520 --> 02:10:50.079
and nobody else would agree with me, and they'd be right, they'd

1444
02:10:50.079 --> 02:10:56.119
be right totally, Like because of
my obsessions, that's the best. That's

1445
02:10:56.159 --> 02:11:01.039
my favorite release. But you guys
got see it. It's great. It's

1446
02:11:01.079 --> 02:11:09.840
great. And then anybody who shows
me a proof of purchase for invaluable and

1447
02:11:09.840 --> 02:11:16.359
and and gives me like a three
sentence review of other men's careers, I

1448
02:11:16.479 --> 02:11:22.199
will watch Mandy again for you,
like for everybody. Everybody done, Like

1449
02:11:22.239 --> 02:11:26.399
I will watch Mandy as many times
as I get that. Okay, if

1450
02:11:26.399 --> 02:11:31.119
you have enough to spare, please
put Will out of his Mandy misery.

1451
02:11:31.800 --> 02:11:37.399
And uh, yeah, that would
be hilarious. And and and somebody tell

1452
02:11:39.560 --> 02:11:45.680
Jerry and Don that I'm doing this
for them. Oh man, that will

1453
02:11:45.680 --> 02:11:48.439
be Uh, that'll be a fun
SINNAPS podcast episode in the future. Will

1454
02:11:48.520 --> 02:11:52.279
Dunson on to talk about how many
times he had to watch Mandy because he

1455
02:11:52.359 --> 02:11:56.840
sold Invaluable on behalf of syneps.
Wouldn't that be awesome if it became like

1456
02:11:56.880 --> 02:12:01.279
their best selling title of the year, just to make you watch Mandy for

1457
02:12:01.319 --> 02:12:09.239
the first time ever a title outsold
Suspiria. It was it was Invaluable.

1458
02:12:11.680 --> 02:12:18.880
Josh Becker waking up tomorrow going,
what the hell? That's hilarious? Yes,

1459
02:12:20.039 --> 02:12:22.720
And after I watch Mandy as many
times as I have to, I

1460
02:12:22.760 --> 02:12:28.880
will I will make a video for
Ryan to post. Please review it after

1461
02:12:28.000 --> 02:12:33.279
every single watch, though not just
at the end. After it'll be like

1462
02:12:33.319 --> 02:12:41.000
a It'll be like a blog.
I can imagine the the Blair witch eskes.

1463
02:12:43.199 --> 02:12:52.600
I'm so scared. I have to
watch it again. Purple, It's

1464
02:12:52.680 --> 02:13:00.079
hilarious. Okay, We're done with
Invaluable and Synapse. Dragonheart again, coming

1465
02:13:00.199 --> 02:13:05.720
as a Walmart exclusive four K steel
book from Universal and Shouts on February twenty

1466
02:13:05.760 --> 02:13:09.399
seventh, same release as they did
before. Just in the steel book.

1467
02:13:11.159 --> 02:13:15.560
Oh man, I saw this on
a high school date. Terrible, man,

1468
02:13:16.720 --> 02:13:22.960
How do you feel about this art? What am I looking at?

1469
02:13:24.920 --> 02:13:31.399
Exactly? It's not terrible, It's
inoffensive, but it looks like I feel

1470
02:13:31.399 --> 02:13:35.520
like a member of Diva's faces starting
to melt, or it's the start of

1471
02:13:35.560 --> 02:13:39.079
like a nineteen ninety four music video
and they would zoom out and this would

1472
02:13:39.079 --> 02:13:50.079
be in a glass of water or
something. I just the original art on

1473
02:13:50.119 --> 02:13:56.359
this is so much better than this
abstract Glob. I don't know. Abstract

1474
02:13:56.399 --> 02:14:03.960
Glob was actually the name of my
biology teacher in the junior year. No.

1475
02:14:07.119 --> 02:14:11.520
We released three albums, all on
the labels worth abstract Blob. Check

1476
02:14:11.560 --> 02:14:16.479
us out. There is another original
poster though, too, Isn't there,

1477
02:14:16.520 --> 02:14:24.720
Sibner, that's the original art.
Wow, John, this is accurate.

1478
02:14:24.720 --> 02:14:28.079
I've said Walmart more times tonight than
every other Thursday combined. Thanks best Buy,

1479
02:14:33.039 --> 02:14:35.680
and finally, what a way to
end this week. February twentieth,

1480
02:14:35.960 --> 02:14:41.560
Keno is releasing the sixth Blu ray
and the Keno Cult line and it is

1481
02:14:41.760 --> 02:14:46.840
dripped from nineteen seventy four. Have
you seen this one? No, but

1482
02:14:46.880 --> 02:14:52.119
I'm gone. This is an interesting
look? Okay? Cool? Yeah?

1483
02:14:52.159 --> 02:14:56.479
Yeah, yeah, this is gay
as hell. I can't crazy good looking

1484
02:14:56.560 --> 02:15:01.640
release, it says a prolific filmmaker
who ex lord documentary, narrative and experimental

1485
02:15:01.640 --> 02:15:05.560
cinema. Pat Roco captured the essence
of queer culture in the sixties and early

1486
02:15:05.560 --> 02:15:09.439
seventies, when it was still largely
ignored by the popular media. Having achieved

1487
02:15:09.479 --> 02:15:13.079
notoriety in the gay underground, Rocko
expected his third feature to cross over to

1488
02:15:13.119 --> 02:15:18.439
general audiences. A West Coast response
to Midnight Cowboy. Drifter observes the odyssey

1489
02:15:18.439 --> 02:15:24.720
of an emotionally ambivalent bisexual hustler as
he wanders through a series of relationships with

1490
02:15:24.840 --> 02:15:28.640
men and women yearning for a sense
of belonging in a southern California characterized by

1491
02:15:28.680 --> 02:15:35.479
impersonal pickups and sex for hire and
all these chocult titles. They are going

1492
02:15:35.520 --> 02:15:39.119
all out on extras. Did you
see this audio commentary by Finley Freebert four

1493
02:15:39.159 --> 02:15:46.199
short films that doesn't happen on Kenot
releases? Like a commentary and for short

1494
02:15:46.239 --> 02:15:50.640
shorts. That's great? Yes,
cool, we know ambivalence is an important

1495
02:15:50.640 --> 02:16:01.640
part of bisexuality. Wait to see
this. Actually, I think that Rocco

1496
02:16:01.760 --> 02:16:07.560
is cool. Yeah, this is
cool. Yeah, this looks like a

1497
02:16:07.560 --> 02:16:15.159
solid release and really going in on
the the Keno uh Quino Colt line again.

1498
02:16:15.520 --> 02:16:20.279
Four shorts commentary on something that has
been largely underseen so far. This

1499
02:16:20.399 --> 02:16:28.159
sounds great. What they're doing for
this line, I mean, Jess Franco,

1500
02:16:31.800 --> 02:16:45.600
so Roco Pumpoco. I'm loving it. Have a good night, Silent

1501
02:16:45.639 --> 02:16:54.360
Mandible and with that ad you.
Yeah, this is a very very interesting

1502
02:16:54.440 --> 02:16:58.200
looking Keno cult just going crazy.
And then not to mention, we saw

1503
02:16:58.280 --> 02:17:05.799

1526
02:18:56.760 --> 02:19:03.399
too much talk about Blue Rita.
Goodbye Dragging In from Keena. I'm just

1527
02:19:03.479 --> 02:19:07.520
kidding, blue Rita. What about
Blue Rita? Just bring a movie?

1528
02:19:07.760 --> 02:19:09.719
Yeah, I know, I thought
you were going to say something else.

1529
02:19:11.760 --> 02:19:16.479
I like it. Nicko Medi says, all I want in twenty four is

1530
02:19:16.479 --> 02:19:20.920
our Gentle's Opera and more Saju and
Suzuki everything else. It sounds like it's

1531
02:19:20.959 --> 02:19:26.600
happened for sure, Modern New York
coming from MVD rewind the apprenticeship of Duddy

1532
02:19:26.719 --> 02:19:31.440
Kravitz from Fun City Editions, which
I'm hearing a lot of people that said,

1533
02:19:31.479 --> 02:19:35.760
once Fun City left is a partner
label. I've not bought a single

1534
02:19:35.799 --> 02:19:41.200
thing, and that's to me,
that's crazy. They're still putting out tons

1535
02:19:41.280 --> 02:19:46.920
of great titles since they've been gone. Well, I think we're on four

1536
02:19:46.000 --> 02:19:50.680
or five releases now. Actually,
oh that that tons. They've only been

1537
02:19:50.719 --> 02:19:56.879
gone for like nine months, and
one of them was a triple feature.

1538
02:19:56.360 --> 02:20:01.840
Look, I think they're great.
I'm just saying it's tons. I don't.

1539
02:20:03.760 --> 02:20:07.200
That wouldn't be a good business model. I think let's let's compare their

1540
02:20:07.200 --> 02:20:11.360
output to culture Shock. Well,
I don't. I'm not comparing. That's

1541
02:20:11.399 --> 02:20:16.000
like comparing children. I'm just saying
children doesn't exist. I wouldn't say they

1542
02:20:16.040 --> 02:20:20.040
put on tons. I think they're
doing a good, you know, solid

1543
02:20:20.200 --> 02:20:24.559
release plan. I agree they had
a slow start at the beginning, and

1544
02:20:24.559 --> 02:20:30.120
that's because from what I hear m
v D you don't need to stifle the

1545
02:20:30.200 --> 02:20:35.920
laughter. MVD requires like a five
month lead time for titles. So uh,

1546
02:20:35.079 --> 02:20:43.840
that's exactly why it was a slow
start for them ms Ship of Fun

1547
02:20:43.920 --> 02:20:50.280
City. In other words, that's
what you're saying. Sure, that's exactly

1548
02:20:50.280 --> 02:20:54.680
what I'm saying. Hail Caesar from
MVD rewind Uh, life is cheap,

1549
02:20:54.760 --> 02:21:00.360
but toilet paper is expensive. Coming
from Arbelos, reminder that that one is

1550
02:21:00.399 --> 02:21:03.600
probably going to be flying under a
lot of people's radar, and it's been

1551
02:21:03.639 --> 02:21:07.000
a really difficult film to see,
so you should probably check that out from

1552
02:21:07.120 --> 02:21:11.600
Arbelows. Saving Grace from Warner Archive. I'm not sure if I said a

1553
02:21:11.639 --> 02:21:13.879
Midwinter's Tale before your rant, I
meant to say it, so Midwinter's Tale

1554
02:21:13.879 --> 02:21:20.719
from Warner Archive. Jailhouse Wardrous another
kind of Jess Franco film. It is

1555
02:21:20.760 --> 02:21:26.920
not when I when I zoom in
here, I believe that, says Jess

1556
02:21:26.959 --> 02:21:31.959
Franco. Now things can say a
lot of things. But as footage from

1557
02:21:31.079 --> 02:21:37.200
Jess Franco's Barbed Wire dog Dolls mixed
in with additional stuff on French, Dude,

1558
02:21:37.399 --> 02:21:41.319
I love how defensive you get about
this. Well, it's just not.

1559
02:21:41.440 --> 02:21:45.200
It's not just Franco film, right, it's a film that has Jess

1560
02:21:45.200 --> 02:21:50.760
Franco footage. UH Casino coming out
just for everybody. That's where all this

1561
02:21:52.000 --> 02:21:54.680
is is the four K remaster for
what went on the Casino four K.

1562
02:21:56.000 --> 02:21:58.680
They're just putting out a blu ray
version of that. Passages coming out from

1563
02:21:58.719 --> 02:22:03.159
movie, the Quatermass experiment from quinnot
getting that re release, walk up from

1564
02:22:03.200 --> 02:22:11.000
Cinema Guild and UH Fremont's coming.
There's again tons of stuff in the next

1565
02:22:11.040 --> 02:22:16.520
week. Do you I'm not like
a nerd about quator Mass stuff. I'm

1566
02:22:16.559 --> 02:22:22.319
not, but I get super annoyed
when people say Quartermass. Do you get

1567
02:22:22.319 --> 02:22:26.200
annoyed? I do, especially because
they're clearly not even reading the word.

1568
02:22:26.559 --> 02:22:35.639
Yeah, there's not an R there. Yeah, it's like quarter Mass being

1569
02:22:35.760 --> 02:22:41.639
mischievous. How many letters are you
going to insert into this title, sir?

1570
02:22:43.319 --> 02:22:48.920
Any of these titles stick out for
you for next week? Oh my

1571
02:22:48.959 --> 02:22:54.520
god, so many? Yes.
Scroll down a little bit. Obviously.

1572
02:22:54.600 --> 02:23:03.760
The Bollywood horror is amazing and clue
and and the ones that would really highlight

1573
02:23:05.520 --> 02:23:13.239
are continue gentleman Jim Rabul Walsh Savage
Guns, of course has the Faulty Don's

1574
02:23:13.319 --> 02:23:18.159
Macabre Vine two, and I can't
believe no one would stop. I can't

1575
02:23:18.159 --> 02:23:26.000
believe no one has created an advertising
campaign around Warriors out in four K,

1576
02:23:26.239 --> 02:23:31.520
A like, why hasn't that happened? But the one I really want to

1577
02:23:31.559 --> 02:23:37.000
highlight is Anti Christie because this was
the first sound film with Greta Garbo and

1578
02:23:37.000 --> 02:23:45.200
that I believe the DVD and I
hope the Blu Ray contains two versions of

1579
02:23:45.280 --> 02:23:50.000
Anti Christy, one in English and
one in Swedish. Does the does the

1580
02:23:50.000 --> 02:23:54.600
Blue Ray have both versions? Let
me see, I don't remember on the

1581
02:23:54.719 --> 02:23:58.719
announcement because I gotta tell you,
you got to see. It's worth it

1582
02:23:58.760 --> 02:24:03.319
to see both versions. Uh,
you know you don't have to be able

1583
02:24:03.319 --> 02:24:07.319
to speak Swedish or subtitled a new
four K restoration of the film from Preservation

1584
02:24:07.360 --> 02:24:13.559
Elements nineteen thirty German language version directed
by Chuck German, not Swedish. Yeah,

1585
02:24:13.559 --> 02:24:16.280
sorry, good, Yes, and
that's it, and yes it is

1586
02:24:16.280 --> 02:24:22.079
an HD German and English youth oh
fuck yeah? And school Days which I

1587
02:24:22.120 --> 02:24:28.559
think. I think it's one of
Spike Lee's best films and one of the

1588
02:24:28.600 --> 02:24:37.319
best musicals of the last shoot.
I guess now years, three years,

1589
02:24:39.799 --> 02:24:43.399
Brian, I didn't even know you're
here tonight. What's going on? I

1590
02:24:43.559 --> 02:24:48.200
like shouting him out? But anyways, yeah, school days at Christie?

1591
02:24:48.879 --> 02:24:52.399
What else is at the bottom here? Too much? Too too much?

1592
02:24:52.520 --> 02:24:56.200
Well came going we don't have a
topic afterwards. This is the shortest we've

1593
02:24:56.239 --> 02:25:01.479
ever gone. Oh it's Bovarie.
Holy look at all this grat so horror

1594
02:25:01.479 --> 02:25:03.280
is the Black Museum is finally out? We haven't That should have been a

1595
02:25:03.319 --> 02:25:09.840
whole show right there. I mean, I just hope it ends up good.

1596
02:25:09.840 --> 02:25:11.520
There's a couple this week that worry
me on quality wise because Horrores of

1597
02:25:11.559 --> 02:25:16.719
the Black Museum is coming from VCI, and VCI has a really spotty track

1598
02:25:16.799 --> 02:25:20.399
record. And then I mean we've
already kind of well, I've more so

1599
02:25:20.840 --> 02:25:26.120
rantid about shouts tonight. Clue is
like one of my most beloved titles,

1600
02:25:26.239 --> 02:25:28.879
and if they I've not seen any
reviews for that one up yet, And

1601
02:25:28.920 --> 02:25:33.799
I'm really hoping they kneeled this release
because Clue has never had a great release

1602
02:25:33.959 --> 02:25:37.639
and I'm dying to see what we
could get on it. I still wish

1603
02:25:37.680 --> 02:25:41.040
they'd released like four different versions of
the four K, so if people right,

1604
02:25:41.879 --> 02:25:46.360
or I mean eighty eight films did
that lottery thing where when you play

1605
02:25:46.399 --> 02:25:48.440
the film, the disc will somehow
choose an ending for you. I should

1606
02:25:48.440 --> 02:25:50.719
be able to put it in and
not know what ending is going to play.

1607
02:25:52.040 --> 02:25:58.600
Yeah, we should be able to
have that. Come on, what

1608
02:25:58.680 --> 02:26:03.159
else is at the bottom? There's
at least there was at least one more

1609
02:26:03.159 --> 02:26:11.959
one that like you different as that
is not the Coen Brothers Hail Caesar.

1610
02:26:11.040 --> 02:26:15.600
Let's make that clear, correct,
That is the nineteen ninety four Hail Caesar

1611
02:26:15.680 --> 02:26:22.079
with Robert Danny Junior and Anthony Michael
Hall and Samuel L. Jackson. I

1612
02:26:22.120 --> 02:26:28.239
think you just sold some units right
by saying that. Yeah, oh man,

1613
02:26:28.360 --> 02:26:31.600
so much great stuff this week.
It's a hell of a week.

1614
02:26:35.639 --> 02:26:39.120
So now that we don't have a
topic, anything else going on that you

1615
02:26:39.159 --> 02:26:45.239
want to talk about or bring up
discuss with everybody, did you talk about

1616
02:26:45.520 --> 02:26:50.000
Spider Labyrinth yet a little bit,
but we didn't talk much about on the

1617
02:26:50.000 --> 02:26:52.319
process or anything. You want to
talk about. How interesting it was to

1618
02:26:52.719 --> 02:26:56.520
discuss that one, especially now that
it's back and available to buy on their

1619
02:26:56.559 --> 02:27:03.520
site. It's not closed down or
anything. So so it's funny, you

1620
02:27:03.559 --> 02:27:07.920
know, Ryan's talked a little bit
about the formation of someone's favorite productions.

1621
02:27:07.360 --> 02:27:16.000
I guess I don't. I don't
really watch when I'm not on. I

1622
02:27:16.079 --> 02:27:20.639
laughed because I know how much of
a lie that is. But so the

1623
02:27:22.559 --> 02:27:28.680
Spider Labyrinth was is the first disc
that's come out with a visual essay and

1624
02:27:28.719 --> 02:27:35.239
a audio commentary by us. But
it was like the sixth or seventh thing

1625
02:27:35.280 --> 02:27:39.680
we actually did, and we can't
say any of the ones that we've done

1626
02:27:39.680 --> 02:27:46.879
so far, right, I mean, we can talk about the Jack Arnold

1627
02:27:46.959 --> 02:27:50.399
Essay for Filmmasters, right, filmmasters, right, but that's come out in

1628
02:27:50.440 --> 02:27:58.360
February. And so it's just kind
of funny because when the opportunity came to

1629
02:28:00.079 --> 02:28:05.879
do Spider Land, but we were
like, and I don't mind telling you

1630
02:28:05.920 --> 02:28:11.000
that, and this is totally my
own fault. I did force Bryan to

1631
02:28:11.040 --> 02:28:18.520
re record the entire thing from scratch. This is true. We did the

1632
02:28:18.520 --> 02:28:26.280
whole thing and I was like,
no, it sucks, and to his

1633
02:28:26.440 --> 02:28:33.959
credit, right agreed it was not
the best. So I appreciate that we

1634
02:28:33.040 --> 02:28:39.639
have the opportunity to do it a
second time. So if you purchased The

1635
02:28:39.639 --> 02:28:41.000
Spider Aborath and you listen to commentary, and you're like, wow, this

1636
02:28:41.079 --> 02:28:43.920
is terrible. Let me tell you
it could have been a lot worse.

1637
02:28:46.280 --> 02:28:48.799
I'm so glad you led with if
you think it's terrible. We got a

1638
02:28:48.879 --> 02:28:54.079
question from sand Hamwich. First off, great name, but second the question

1639
02:28:54.200 --> 02:29:00.040
is what is a visual essay?
You know that's a great question because that

1640
02:29:00.200 --> 02:29:05.079
was a bit of a controversy for
me as well. So a visual essay

1641
02:29:05.440 --> 02:29:11.079
primarily the we'll say the traditional visual
essay is there's an individual that writes an

1642
02:29:11.239 --> 02:29:16.920
essay on either a topic relating to
the film, a topic of the film,

1643
02:29:18.200 --> 02:29:20.280
something about an actor in the film, something related to the genre.

1644
02:29:20.479 --> 02:29:24.000
There's all kinds of ways that you
can take a visual essay and you write

1645
02:29:24.040 --> 02:29:26.440
the essay, But the big thing
is, because you're putting it on the

1646
02:29:26.440 --> 02:29:31.120
disc, you want something. You
want a visual aspect and not just a

1647
02:29:31.159 --> 02:29:35.520
static shot for you know, a
fifteen minute reading of an essay or something.

1648
02:29:35.840 --> 02:29:39.719
You want shots from films. You
want, you know, shots of

1649
02:29:39.760 --> 02:29:43.040
posters from some of these films that
you're talking about. If you're doing a

1650
02:29:43.079 --> 02:29:46.479
piece on an individual, you could
take pictures from their life. There's all

1651
02:29:46.559 --> 02:29:52.280
kinds of things that you could throw
up there. But a visual essay usually

1652
02:29:52.600 --> 02:29:54.959
is somewhere between about seven minutes,
and for some of these releases, like

1653
02:29:56.840 --> 02:30:01.840
sixty seven minutes, they go all
over the place length while, but usually

1654
02:30:01.360 --> 02:30:05.440
it is that's a really funny joke. A spaghetti says, it's two thousand

1655
02:30:05.479 --> 02:30:13.239
words on optometry. A visual essay
is is usually like an educational piece surrounding

1656
02:30:13.399 --> 02:30:16.760
that film and our our piece.
I would love to hear Will talk about,

1657
02:30:16.840 --> 02:30:20.799
but he wants to talk about how
he misinterpreted what a visual essay was.

1658
02:30:22.120 --> 02:30:26.399
Well, I don't understand how that's
different than documentary. It's really not.

1659
02:30:26.920 --> 02:30:35.639
It is a short form documentary.
Yet yet for some people there is

1660
02:30:35.680 --> 02:30:43.520
a distinction and it creates issues.
Yeah, So our approach to visual essays,

1661
02:30:43.280 --> 02:30:48.559
as you'll see if you if you
do check out Spider Labyrinth and the

1662
02:30:48.559 --> 02:30:54.120
Swiss Conspiracy and some others that we
can't say yet, is a little bit

1663
02:30:54.120 --> 02:31:09.559
different. And uh, I think
that difference can be productive for people.

1664
02:31:09.319 --> 02:31:13.000
Like in no way am I saying
that like our visual essays are better or

1665
02:31:13.040 --> 02:31:18.159
worse than anybody Else's just different.
And part of the way they're different is

1666
02:31:18.200 --> 02:31:26.360
in the way they bring in multiple
voices. I agree there, and I

1667
02:31:26.399 --> 02:31:31.440
think The cool thing about visual essays
is when you especially when you collaborate with

1668
02:31:31.520 --> 02:31:35.680
somebody. It can be written by
one or two people, and then somebody

1669
02:31:35.719 --> 02:31:39.680
else can put the visuals together for
it, and then all of that comes

1670
02:31:39.719 --> 02:31:45.520
together with an editor, and so
you get these different names associated with the

1671
02:31:45.559 --> 02:31:48.520
release, and everybody has a hand
in it and a say of what's going

1672
02:31:48.559 --> 02:31:52.799
into it. Ragnar asked a question
a moment ago, why is everything in

1673
02:31:52.799 --> 02:31:56.920
a boutique label world a secret?
They're in sales, they shouldn't need to

1674
02:31:56.000 --> 02:32:00.399
keep it a secret. And the
big thing is, unfortunately they're in sales,

1675
02:32:00.399 --> 02:32:03.399
but everything is very volatile, like
a lot of a lot of these

1676
02:32:03.440 --> 02:32:09.600
deals we've seen fall through behind the
scenes with titles. Colombo is the perfect

1677
02:32:09.639 --> 02:32:15.200
example. Through Keno, they announced
all the special features and then within I

1678
02:32:15.440 --> 02:32:18.719
don't even think it was a full
week later, they announced that they couldn't

1679
02:32:18.799 --> 02:32:22.959
bring in any of those special features
except for the ones that they had with

1680
02:32:22.040 --> 02:32:26.719
the prior releases for Colombo. So
if we if we were allowed to tell

1681
02:32:26.719 --> 02:32:31.200
you, hey, for Label X, we recorded an audio commentary for this

1682
02:32:31.200 --> 02:32:35.159
title hasn't been announced yet, but
here's the title that the original licensing company

1683
02:32:35.200 --> 02:32:39.639
could just pull that title next week, and now they can't put it out,

1684
02:32:39.680 --> 02:32:41.680
And now a bunch of people heard
the announcement, but they didn't hear

1685
02:32:41.719 --> 02:32:45.440
that it was canceled, and they're
pissed because they're waiting for it to come

1686
02:32:45.479 --> 02:32:52.719
out. So unfortunate, unfortunately a
lot of it. It's it's just up

1687
02:32:52.760 --> 02:32:56.239
to so many people. And with
the rights for these, I mean,

1688
02:32:56.319 --> 02:33:01.239
especially with some of these, like
obscure Italian films like Labyrinth, there could

1689
02:33:01.239 --> 02:33:05.399
have been a producer in Italy that
thought he had the rights to the film,

1690
02:33:05.879 --> 02:33:11.639
and another company in the United States
that knew they had the rights of

1691
02:33:11.639 --> 02:33:15.159
the film, they had the paper
trail and everything, and Severn could announce

1692
02:33:15.159 --> 02:33:18.920
the title, and then this producer
could come and sue that they were releasing

1693
02:33:18.959 --> 02:33:22.680
a film that he owns the rights
to, and they could try to stall

1694
02:33:22.719 --> 02:33:26.559
the release. And unfortunately, all
of that it makes it it makes it

1695
02:33:26.639 --> 02:33:31.040
really difficult to be able to do
this in any sort of transparent way because

1696
02:33:31.040 --> 02:33:37.520
it could change literally in the span
of an hour. Anything can happen.

1697
02:33:37.760 --> 02:33:41.840
There's so many things that constall one
of these releases, and stalling releases has

1698
02:33:41.840 --> 02:33:43.760
happened like crazy to us already.
I mean, I think it was the

1699
02:33:43.840 --> 02:33:48.840
second commentary we did. Second and
third those titles should have been announced a

1700
02:33:48.840 --> 02:33:52.360
couple months ago, and now they're
supposedly not being announced till next summer.

1701
02:33:54.079 --> 02:33:56.319
And which is it? Which is
good because I made you re record one

1702
02:33:56.399 --> 02:34:01.200
of those two. It's true,
it's true, But yeah, those are

1703
02:34:01.000 --> 02:34:05.000
by the time they come out,
that commentary on both of those is going

1704
02:34:05.040 --> 02:34:09.600
to be a year old. It's
gonna be crazy, which and I'm always

1705
02:34:09.600 --> 02:34:15.639
bitching a Ryan they don't give us
enough time and then we like rush and

1706
02:34:15.719 --> 02:34:18.559
do it and then it's like,
oh, it's delayed for a year,

1707
02:34:18.559 --> 02:34:24.879
and I'm like, can I rewrite
it? Ragnar says, did you guys

1708
02:34:24.879 --> 02:34:28.079
get a discount? At least most
of the time when you contribute to a

1709
02:34:28.120 --> 02:34:33.600
disc, they do get you a
copy of the release. Yeah, that

1710
02:34:33.879 --> 02:34:39.040
Colombo thing that is still I'd love
to find out what the reason was,

1711
02:34:39.079 --> 02:34:43.399
even if it's you know, a
year from now and everybody's forgotten about it.

1712
02:34:43.440 --> 02:34:46.479
Everybody's loving their release that they have
at home. It's already been on

1713
02:34:46.559 --> 02:34:50.520
sale on the Kino sale for like
thirty dollars. I just want to hear

1714
02:34:52.120 --> 02:34:56.639
what was the reason for them to
announce everything and then pull it back and

1715
02:34:56.680 --> 02:35:01.399
we'll probably never know. That's the
sad part. Yeah, what's his name

1716
02:35:01.559 --> 02:35:07.639
was recently on the Serial podcast and
talking about it a little bit. What's

1717
02:35:07.639 --> 02:35:11.559
the kind thing, Frank Tarsi.
I'm just laughing because earlier I said that

1718
02:35:11.600 --> 02:35:15.200
we'd be on Me and Sam Degan
were gonna be on the Serial podcast,

1719
02:35:15.440 --> 02:35:18.440
and you just made it sound like, yeah, anyways, oh yeah,

1720
02:35:18.719 --> 02:35:26.639
this is the this is the food. He alluded to it, and he

1721
02:35:26.760 --> 02:35:30.680
was like he was up front.
He was like, look, we're pissed

1722
02:35:30.680 --> 02:35:35.000
about it. We paid for the
for a lot of people, and and

1723
02:35:35.079 --> 02:35:39.040
the people you know, did the
research and did the work. I mean,

1724
02:35:39.879 --> 02:35:46.520
Amanda Reis has axed about it,
at least as far as what she's

1725
02:35:46.559 --> 02:35:50.719
able to say, and so you
know, yeah, like like Ryan said,

1726
02:35:50.719 --> 02:35:56.079
you assume it's something about rights disputes
and stuff like that. But it's

1727
02:35:56.120 --> 02:36:03.639
really unfortunate, especially knowing how much
work goes into putting these things together.

1728
02:36:03.760 --> 02:36:07.319
Holy shit, it's a lot of
work. Ah man, you don't just

1729
02:36:07.520 --> 02:36:13.000
sit down in front of it's not
like this show. You don't just you

1730
02:36:13.040 --> 02:36:18.200
don't just you don't just like figure
out how to put the microphone through your

1731
02:36:18.239 --> 02:36:22.959
laptop and start talking. Although that's
a big part of it, and I've

1732
02:36:22.959 --> 02:36:30.440
had to coach Will through a lot
so far. Almost every episode, Oh

1733
02:36:30.520 --> 02:36:33.120
man, you know, hey,
you guys, Oh you know what?

1734
02:36:33.239 --> 02:36:37.319
You know, what we should do
for the Patreon is a behind the scenes

1735
02:36:37.639 --> 02:36:46.920
of you getting me record this setup
process for a kind of oh my gosh,

1736
02:36:46.959 --> 02:36:50.680
to do literally anything. This setup
for one of the commentaries would just

1737
02:36:50.680 --> 02:36:56.920
be me like this for like forty
five minutes, like will listen restarts your

1738
02:36:56.959 --> 02:37:05.000
computer but I got tabs. H
It's so true to life and people are

1739
02:37:05.000 --> 02:37:09.159
out there going what Yeah. That
has definitely been a big thing so far

1740
02:37:09.200 --> 02:37:13.799
as trying to make this work across
the country on a lot of projects,

1741
02:37:13.840 --> 02:37:18.319
and honestly that's been one of the
enriching parts of this, and I've hopefully

1742
02:37:18.319 --> 02:37:22.719
been pretty transparent about what I could
from the beginning is the whole Someone's favorite

1743
02:37:22.719 --> 02:37:26.479
thing was to get people involved that
cannot normally be involved in a lot of

1744
02:37:26.479 --> 02:37:33.159
these projects. So like bringing on
Billy ray Bruton, who is on the

1745
02:37:33.520 --> 02:37:35.959
what Happens Next will Scare You release
that just got announced from Terror Vision.

1746
02:37:37.280 --> 02:37:41.000
He and I did a visual essay
on anthology horror films, and I mean

1747
02:37:41.239 --> 02:37:45.600
not I'm not trying to brag on
me or the company or anything like that,

1748
02:37:45.680 --> 02:37:48.920
but people that you know, they
weren't reaching out to Billy Ray Bruton

1749
02:37:48.000 --> 02:37:52.200
to be on a release, and
now he gets to have his voice on

1750
02:37:52.200 --> 02:37:56.479
one of these. And Sean from
the foofer Thought podcast, he just did

1751
02:37:56.520 --> 02:38:01.520
something for Game of Killers and it's
an incredible piece. He wrote this amazing

1752
02:38:01.559 --> 02:38:07.360
piece on Barry Chan that is genuinely
like moving. I went through the whole

1753
02:38:07.399 --> 02:38:11.000
process of editing this visual essay with
Sean, and I went through to check

1754
02:38:11.040 --> 02:38:16.719
something that he wanted me to verify
and not kidding, I started to check

1755
02:38:16.719 --> 02:38:20.280
that part and got swept up in
the visual essay that I edited and watched

1756
02:38:20.280 --> 02:38:26.479
the entire thing again because I was
so interested. It's a really fun piece

1757
02:38:26.639 --> 02:38:30.319
and it's just interesting to see all
these people come together to create something.

1758
02:38:31.319 --> 02:38:41.040
I haven't funished it yet, but
it seems like it's okay. And the

1759
02:38:41.079 --> 02:38:43.799
cool thing with Will and I and
some of the other stuff that we're doing,

1760
02:38:43.920 --> 02:38:48.159
we are we're actually trying to do
something different on some of these.

1761
02:38:48.840 --> 02:38:54.639
There's another one that hasn't been announced
yet that's like a narrative poem that was

1762
02:38:54.959 --> 02:39:00.120
really fun that Will doesn't love.
But I'm actually really happy with how it

1763
02:39:00.159 --> 02:39:03.920
turned out. I think it's a
really interesting piece. Yeah, that's okay.

1764
02:39:05.079 --> 02:39:09.559
I can't wait to tell the story
behind that one eventually. Yeah,

1765
02:39:09.600 --> 02:39:15.319
I'll tell the story. No,
I just love what the label said about

1766
02:39:15.360 --> 02:39:20.399
it. That's like the funniest part. Yeah, that's funny. No,

1767
02:39:20.479 --> 02:39:24.479
but it's been and you know,
we're not really able to tell the origin

1768
02:39:24.520 --> 02:39:30.079
story yet that that will probably be
another six months before we can tell the

1769
02:39:30.120 --> 02:39:33.600
real story of how this all happened, because you might be wondering, like,

1770
02:39:33.639 --> 02:39:39.680
how are these fucking assholes doing anything? And the answer is not gonna

1771
02:39:39.719 --> 02:39:50.000
make you happy. You're gonna be
like talk about dripping over success. Well,

1772
02:39:50.040 --> 02:39:52.799
it's also the same thing that just
brought the two of us together,

1773
02:39:54.159 --> 02:39:56.520
and to begin with, like a
lot of these things have just been chanced

1774
02:39:56.600 --> 02:40:03.120
so far. You know, it's
funny. I went to this fucking fruit

1775
02:40:03.159 --> 02:40:11.000
through Liberal Arts College and it was
in the nineties, so it wasn't annoying

1776
02:40:11.000 --> 02:40:16.639
as it is now, but it
was like getting there and uh, they

1777
02:40:16.639 --> 02:40:24.479
had this annual festival called Serendipity.
It was an annual musical festival called Serendipity,

1778
02:40:24.879 --> 02:40:33.280
and they booked this band that was
just bit and me and my friends

1779
02:40:33.319 --> 02:40:37.920
all worked in our college radio station. We were like, gool this band

1780
02:40:37.920 --> 02:40:43.959
they booked. The headline Serendipity is
Bit. I'll say the name, I

1781
02:40:43.000 --> 02:40:48.360
don't care. Cowboy Mouth from New
Orleans, just crap band for just if

1782
02:40:48.399 --> 02:40:56.040
you like cowboy Mouth unsubscribed cowboy Mouth, Yeah, I like the name.

1783
02:40:56.120 --> 02:41:07.760
Even sounds like Phil Rocco movie or
something. But anyway, actually that's the

1784
02:41:07.760 --> 02:41:11.040
best part of them that actually sucked. They're like some like crap like neutered

1785
02:41:11.040 --> 02:41:18.120
and blues band. But anyway,
I got all pissed and and and all

1786
02:41:18.200 --> 02:41:20.639
my uh all my friends got pissed, and we were like, we're gonna

1787
02:41:20.639 --> 02:41:26.200
we're gonna make a an alternate music
festival that runs at the same time,

1788
02:41:26.239 --> 02:41:30.360
and we're gonna call it anti Serendipity
with the tagline because fun is never an

1789
02:41:30.399 --> 02:41:37.239
accident and and uh and the school
is actually mad. But uh, anyway,

1790
02:41:37.719 --> 02:41:41.520
because of we were talking trash about
the thing, they were spending thousands

1791
02:41:41.559 --> 02:41:46.040
and thousands dollars and so we spent
like hundreds and hundreds of dollars to get

1792
02:41:46.079 --> 02:41:52.239
like local and regional punk and metal
and and hip hop bands to come and

1793
02:41:52.280 --> 02:41:56.479
play at this coffee shop across the
street. And wouldn't you know it,

1794
02:41:56.479 --> 02:42:05.319
it rained and the power that be
at this school hadn't planned anything for a

1795
02:42:05.399 --> 02:42:11.239
rain situation, like brilliant, They
didn't have an indoor venue prepared, and

1796
02:42:11.319 --> 02:42:15.879
so we got our thing going and
we got you know, over the course

1797
02:42:15.879 --> 02:42:18.399
of the weekend tons. This is
one of the proudest moments of my life.

1798
02:42:18.440 --> 02:42:26.440
Like so many people came and and
the coffee shop sold alcohol to minors

1799
02:42:26.479 --> 02:42:30.079
at like super jacked up prices and
we and we like just took the money.

1800
02:42:31.760 --> 02:42:33.280
Wow, just put it in our
pockets. So it was great.

1801
02:42:35.920 --> 02:42:41.239
And but the best part was Cowboy
Mouth came into the shop and like got

1802
02:42:41.280 --> 02:42:46.680
some drinks and stuff and we're like
hey, because their show was canceled and

1803
02:42:46.719 --> 02:42:48.639
they were there. They're like,
do you guys want us to play?

1804
02:42:48.920 --> 02:42:56.319
And I was like no, And
that serendipity because I was twenty one and

1805
02:42:56.319 --> 02:43:00.159
that's the kind of Assolet no,
no, I don't want you. But

1806
02:43:05.760 --> 02:43:09.280
at what point did they take as
doctorate away? Well, you know,

1807
02:43:09.360 --> 02:43:16.520
it's a public school. It's like
it's like it's like getting a certificate from

1808
02:43:16.639 --> 02:43:26.120
like some astrology school online. Really
it doesn't mean a lot. Yeah,

1809
02:43:26.280 --> 02:43:31.120
so let's see anything else about the
Filmmaster's release or Spider labynths you want to

1810
02:43:31.120 --> 02:43:35.000
talk about. I just want to
make it clear that Cowboy mouth sucks.

1811
02:43:37.440 --> 02:43:43.959
Okay, so the Filmmaster's release.
Listen, this was talk about serendipity.

1812
02:43:45.520 --> 02:43:48.559
I mentioned this in an earlier episode, I think, but it just so

1813
02:43:48.760 --> 02:43:56.440
happens like this is this was totally
coincidence, but it just so happens that

1814
02:43:56.600 --> 02:44:03.520
this excellent writer and editor, Michael
Schumann, is putting together a collection of

1815
02:44:03.639 --> 02:44:09.520
essays on Jack Arnold, the director
for Edinburgh year University Press, and I

1816
02:44:09.600 --> 02:44:13.520
happened to be one of the contributors. I'm talking about one of his later

1817
02:44:13.600 --> 02:44:18.600
films, a western he did with
Durville Martin and Fred the Hammer Williamson,

1818
02:44:18.639 --> 02:44:24.280
if you can believe that. And
so anyway, we were able to get

1819
02:44:24.719 --> 02:44:31.079
Mike Schumann and Christopher Wooter, who's
also a contributor to the Jack Arnold book

1820
02:44:31.879 --> 02:44:39.200
to uh to uh talk about the
Swiss conspiracy and Arnold in the visual essay.

1821
02:44:39.319 --> 02:44:43.520
So it turned out great. I
can't wait for people to see it

1822
02:44:46.159 --> 02:44:50.920
Spaghetti Cowboy Matuth is the next part. You know what that would be?

1823
02:44:50.120 --> 02:44:58.520
Well, you know it's a it's
a it's like a Bob Dylan Brad Get

1824
02:44:58.520 --> 02:45:05.799
that out of you. It took
you so long to see it. I

1825
02:45:05.799 --> 02:45:09.159
saw it. I just didn't want
to believe that you would do something.

1826
02:45:11.440 --> 02:45:15.639
Okay, I'll fix it for you. I can change I can change your

1827
02:45:15.639 --> 02:45:20.040
ship too. Oh that's true.
I forget you know what, but I

1828
02:45:20.079 --> 02:45:24.879
wouldn't. I wouldn't do it.
Oh I would, I definitely would number

1829
02:45:24.920 --> 02:45:33.760
Oh oh nice change eh. Tr
Media is going to release you know what

1830
02:45:33.040 --> 02:45:41.440
etr If you do, you need
to ask for an interview so that you

1831
02:45:41.440 --> 02:45:45.360
can make a power point on it. I can tell you a pretty good

1832
02:45:45.399 --> 02:45:52.399
story about those guys. Any uh. Yeah. The the Jack Arnold piece

1833
02:45:52.680 --> 02:45:56.280
is really really great though. There's
some really good interview pieces on that.

1834
02:45:56.239 --> 02:46:01.600
The story of his life is it's
just fast. The films that he touched

1835
02:46:01.799 --> 02:46:05.959
is so crazy to think of how
much he influenced. Yeah, I mean

1836
02:46:07.000 --> 02:46:13.680
the modern sitcom, Oh so much
to Jack Arnold speaking of a really important

1837
02:46:13.680 --> 02:46:18.799
week for the modern sitcom too,
with Norman Lear passing, Yeah, yeah,

1838
02:46:18.920 --> 02:46:26.280
Norman Lear, I mean, oh
that was gonna be here into the

1839
02:46:26.280 --> 02:46:30.520
political so I let it go.
It was really sad. I was sad

1840
02:46:30.559 --> 02:46:35.399
to see that some people made some
unkind comments about his passing. And it's

1841
02:46:35.479 --> 02:46:39.040
like, come on, man,
like, you don't have to agree with

1842
02:46:39.040 --> 02:46:48.040
the guy's politics to appreciate, right, this done made the Jefferson uh yeah,

1843
02:46:48.120 --> 02:46:58.079
you know, his his his his
impact on modern televisions is incalculable.

1844
02:46:58.799 --> 02:47:05.280
It's true, a really inspiring piece
of the modern music scene. Though,

1845
02:47:05.799 --> 02:47:11.879
mister Daniel Simner wanted me to share
this piece that we just found the Cowboy

1846
02:47:11.000 --> 02:47:18.639
Health band homepage. Yeah, that's
them. How could that just not be

1847
02:47:18.760 --> 02:47:24.319
one of the most rocking bands of
all time? Will Well? It was

1848
02:47:24.360 --> 02:47:30.200
about was nineteen ninety, No,
it was two thousands, so it was

1849
02:47:30.680 --> 02:47:33.959
twenty four, twenty three years ago. How are they still a band?

1850
02:47:35.200 --> 02:47:39.879
Actually they looked pretty good considering,
but yeah, that's basically what they looked

1851
02:47:39.000 --> 02:47:43.360
like. And they were like,
hey we play. You know, I've

1852
02:47:43.399 --> 02:47:50.319
got like, I got like these
industrial bands coming in. I got blitz

1853
02:47:50.360 --> 02:47:54.399
Kid, the horror pump bands playing. I got Weak Lazy Liar, which

1854
02:47:54.399 --> 02:47:56.200
was this really cool indie band we
had, Like, we had so much

1855
02:47:56.200 --> 02:48:03.920
cool stuff going and all credit to
my fellow college radio people who like called

1856
02:48:03.920 --> 02:48:09.040
in everybody that they knew to play
this festival, which was a one time

1857
02:48:09.079 --> 02:48:13.799
only thing, and yeah it was. It was one of the great pleasures

1858
02:48:13.799 --> 02:48:18.040
of my life to say no to
cowboy men. Oh a Jello Biafra came

1859
02:48:18.360 --> 02:48:22.840
and get the spoken word the week
before, so it was like that was

1860
02:48:22.879 --> 02:48:28.200
like a big moment in my life. They're playing on February fifteenth. I

1861
02:48:28.319 --> 02:48:41.520
can I get you some tickets?
Have Celestco review. No, anyways,

1862
02:48:45.719 --> 02:48:48.120
Oh that was hilarious. Hey,
you know what, God love them.

1863
02:48:48.159 --> 02:48:52.000
They're still playing doing what they love. Yeah, that's pretty damn cool,

1864
02:48:52.239 --> 02:48:56.200
Pretty damn cool. I did not
expect them to still be a band,

1865
02:48:56.239 --> 02:48:58.079
and yet they've got a half year
with a tour. Dads announced in twenty

1866
02:48:58.120 --> 02:49:05.920
twenty four. My band broke up
after one performance, actually before because I

1867
02:49:07.479 --> 02:49:13.639
do the performance by myself. So
no, oh boy, that's a that's

1868
02:49:13.639 --> 02:49:18.040
a rough band. Then. I
don't know if you know this. I'm

1869
02:49:18.120 --> 02:49:24.399
I'm kind of hard to get along
with. I I've heard that I've also

1870
02:49:24.479 --> 02:49:28.639
been the person that was required to
run and fetch you coffee. So when

1871
02:49:28.639 --> 02:49:37.760
did that happen? When you lived
in my house. Oh yeah, I

1872
02:49:37.879 --> 02:49:46.559
thought you lived in some fucking suburban
food desert. Suburban food desert, my

1873
02:49:46.719 --> 02:49:50.159
ass. I went with you.
It was some gas station. It wasn't

1874
02:49:50.159 --> 02:49:56.360
even you went once. I went
alone two days in a row, and

1875
02:49:56.440 --> 02:50:00.559
I had to stay with Jeremy one
day. The other day he was driving

1876
02:50:00.559 --> 02:50:07.440
to Omaha, Omaha, some weird
a mirror of America. Here, I'm

1877
02:50:07.440 --> 02:50:15.719
going to Omaha tomorrow? Are you
really I am? Anyways? Uh uh?

1878
02:50:16.000 --> 02:50:20.239
To bring it back around, anything
else about Jack Arnold or spik we

1879
02:50:20.319 --> 02:50:22.920
we talked a little bit about Jack
Arnold. Anything else about the Spider labinth

1880
02:50:22.120 --> 02:50:26.120
essay that you want to throw out
there? Oh my god, man doing

1881
02:50:26.120 --> 02:50:35.680
the Spider Labyrinth was crazy. So
yeah, are Another serendipitous opportunity is that

1882
02:50:35.719 --> 02:50:41.079
there's a new book coming out about
the Weird Capitol w the weird tradition and

1883
02:50:41.159 --> 02:50:48.120
literature, And we managed to get
the editors and and and one of the

1884
02:50:48.120 --> 02:50:56.239
contributors to talk about the weird as
a concept and an Italian horror and the

1885
02:50:56.760 --> 02:51:03.479
Spider Labyrinth specifically as being kind of
connected to that weird tradition which started with

1886
02:51:03.000 --> 02:51:09.319
HP Lovecraft and others of his ilk
and I thought it turned out amazing.

1887
02:51:09.520 --> 02:51:13.360
We just really had some We managed
to get some really smart people to talk

1888
02:51:13.399 --> 02:51:22.920
about it, and then the commentary
process was a journey, not unlike the

1889
02:51:24.360 --> 02:51:30.639
main character in the film. Yeah, it was like we should We struggled

1890
02:51:30.840 --> 02:51:37.440
and then found our way to destiny. Yeah. Like, I can't even

1891
02:51:37.559 --> 02:51:43.920
express to you how what an honor
it is. So thanks to Andrew Ritado

1892
02:51:43.000 --> 02:51:48.159
and David Gregory for giving us the
opportunity, and thanks to all of you

1893
02:51:48.120 --> 02:51:54.559
who are going to check it out. Yeah, like I don't know what

1894
02:51:54.600 --> 02:51:58.399
to say, except like I can't
believe it. Yeah, this is a

1895
02:51:58.399 --> 02:52:03.399
big deal. And this was an
actually interesting one to do because for a

1896
02:52:03.399 --> 02:52:07.719
lot of people Spider Labyrinth. First
off, if you've not heard of it,

1897
02:52:07.840 --> 02:52:13.120
you're not alone. Not very many
people have heard of Spider labinth because

1898
02:52:13.159 --> 02:52:16.959
it was a title that didn't have
and still as of this moment, doesn't

1899
02:52:18.000 --> 02:52:22.440
have anything like scholarly published on it, especially in English language. At least,

1900
02:52:22.799 --> 02:52:26.479
there's not much research that's been done
out there, not many interviews that

1901
02:52:26.479 --> 02:52:30.600
were done, not really any resources. It was all about diving into who

1902
02:52:30.600 --> 02:52:33.520
these people are that made this movie. When it was made where it was

1903
02:52:33.559 --> 02:52:37.479
made, and really just pulling apart
at the scenes for what the film is

1904
02:52:39.079 --> 02:52:43.239
and the extras that they pulled together
amazing. They've got interviews with the director,

1905
02:52:43.319 --> 02:52:48.600
one of the writers, so many
people, and it's almost like Spider

1906
02:52:48.680 --> 02:52:52.680
Labyrinth has like a cult in waiting. There's all these people who saw it

1907
02:52:52.799 --> 02:52:58.680
on bootleg DVD or on VHS,
so we weren't able to see it as

1908
02:52:58.719 --> 02:53:07.200
it is, and and now they're
going to have this definitive addition. And

1909
02:53:07.239 --> 02:53:09.079
I'm not just saying I'm not I'm
not saying that like like we've already been

1910
02:53:09.079 --> 02:53:16.920
paid. We're not getting residuals or
anything, and we didn't get paid.

1911
02:53:16.959 --> 02:53:20.840
Yeah, it's not very much.
But but the uh, the uh,

1912
02:53:20.760 --> 02:53:26.159
the point is that now all these
people who have been wanting to see Spiral

1913
02:53:26.239 --> 02:53:28.040
Labyrinth are going to get to And
I know that, you know, the

1914
02:53:28.079 --> 02:53:39.520
four k's from seven are not like
a price point that that everybody is excited

1915
02:53:39.559 --> 02:53:45.319
about. But it's not like they're
gouging you for lobby cards like you're getting.

1916
02:53:46.120 --> 02:53:50.879
You're just getting the movie ahead of
very high quality. And that's that's

1917
02:53:50.920 --> 02:53:54.280
the thing. Yes, it is
pricey, I will admit I think it's

1918
02:53:54.319 --> 02:53:58.719
really cool that they got the soundtrack, which can I guarantee is a big

1919
02:53:58.760 --> 02:54:03.040
portion of that price. That's awesome. It's so good. The soundtrack on

1920
02:54:03.079 --> 02:54:13.040
this is surprisingly great. Yeah,
yeah, you know that's I've done a

1921
02:54:13.079 --> 02:54:16.760
lot of things in my life that
I'm not proud of, but this is

1922
02:54:16.799 --> 02:54:28.079
not one of them. What a
weird way to say that. Well,

1923
02:54:28.799 --> 02:54:30.959
anything else you want to highlight before
we call it a night, sir?

1924
02:54:31.040 --> 02:54:33.600
We're at almost three hours here.
I feel like we should go for two

1925
02:54:33.639 --> 02:54:37.440
hours more and you want to talk
about politics or No, We've already did

1926
02:54:37.440 --> 02:54:41.239
that. I've probably had like five
people on subscribe just because of that.

1927
02:54:41.799 --> 02:54:50.440
Well, you know, let's say
this. We need to get back to

1928
02:54:50.479 --> 02:54:54.520
a point where we can disagree and
still they'll talk to each other afterwards.

1929
02:54:54.159 --> 02:55:01.520
Oh hell no, ye. What's
what's funny about that is like it's easy

1930
02:55:01.559 --> 02:55:07.239
for it's easy for the sis.
Hit White got to say we we need

1931
02:55:07.280 --> 02:55:11.280
to hear we need to hear everybody
out and give him grace, you know,

1932
02:55:11.000 --> 02:55:18.920
because because nobody is trying to eradicate
me yet, I don't know you

1933
02:55:20.000 --> 02:55:22.520
are a teacher of the arts,
so oh actually, yeah, I am

1934
02:55:24.520 --> 02:55:31.639
like that part of My identity is
definitely be in eradicated and soon, so

1935
02:55:31.760 --> 02:55:35.639
let me know if you hear of
any job opportunities. I just picked up

1936
02:55:35.680 --> 02:55:39.760
some new part time working a different
school starting next semester. We'll see that

1937
02:55:39.799 --> 02:55:45.120
goes. I'm gonna be teaching at
North Carolina A and T, which is

1938
02:55:46.239 --> 02:55:54.600
one of the oldest and largest HBCUs
in the country and as former NBA basketball

1939
02:55:54.600 --> 02:56:01.200
star J R. Smith on its
golf team. I agree Christopher was best

1940
02:56:01.200 --> 02:56:09.760
Street and Christopher celmestery. In fact, I reached out to Blue Underground not

1941
02:56:09.840 --> 02:56:13.840
long ago to let him know,
Yeah, they want to do any more

1942
02:56:13.040 --> 02:56:18.319
Just Franco. Maybe here we are. What is a Just Franco film that

1943
02:56:18.360 --> 02:56:26.879
you would like you would battle people
on a long drawn out physical war to

1944
02:56:26.920 --> 02:56:31.319
be able to do a commentary on. Well, Honestly, the ones I'd

1945
02:56:31.319 --> 02:56:35.840
like to do the most are is
like digital but like late year digitate ones.

1946
02:56:37.079 --> 02:56:41.520
Yeah, like that. I would
a lot to do those. But

1947
02:56:41.799 --> 02:56:46.920
like I'm looking at my Franco collection
right now, like the ones that still

1948
02:56:46.959 --> 02:56:50.959
need upgrading, some of which it
might be impossible, but we still have

1949
02:56:52.079 --> 02:56:56.639
Succubus. We still have Venus in
furs where Okay, stop right there.

1950
02:56:56.639 --> 02:57:00.200
Do you know of anything that would
be stopping Venus and First from coming out?

1951
02:57:00.360 --> 02:57:03.159
I feel like that's one of the
most obvious ones. I think both

1952
02:57:03.159 --> 02:57:09.440
of them have elements issues is where
I've read there's the great Solidad Miranda film

1953
02:57:09.799 --> 02:57:16.719
The Devil came from Akasavo. We
got Virgin report, obviously, get me

1954
02:57:16.799 --> 02:57:31.479
for that. Nither of the Skulls. I'd like to do that one sat

1955
02:57:31.520 --> 02:57:37.360
O Mania, Linda. Oh,
you know what I'd love to do is

1956
02:57:37.440 --> 02:57:41.799
the you know, he and Orison
Wells worked on Don Quixote for a long

1957
02:57:41.840 --> 02:57:48.799
time yep, and like twenty years
after Wells died, Franco put together a

1958
02:57:48.959 --> 02:57:54.799
very weird assemblage of their footage as
don Quixote. I'd love to talk about

1959
02:57:54.840 --> 02:58:03.159
that shit. Yeah, Tender Flash, Well, yeah, there's there's just

1960
02:58:03.200 --> 02:58:07.520
basically any Franco I got it.
Yeah. Yeah. Anyhow, sand Haandwich

1961
02:58:07.600 --> 02:58:13.319
is saying, could doing commentaries ever
be a full time job? And truthfully,

1962
02:58:13.319 --> 02:58:16.559
there's already a few people that are
doing it full time. The main

1963
02:58:16.600 --> 02:58:20.239
difference is they make a lot more
doing them than will and I will anytime

1964
02:58:20.280 --> 02:58:24.760
soon. And uh, and that's
for each individual track they they've got the

1965
02:58:24.799 --> 02:58:30.360
reputation that they get more money for
those things and they get full time work

1966
02:58:30.399 --> 02:58:31.840
from it. Well, let's point
that, let's point that out that it

1967
02:58:31.959 --> 02:58:39.200
labels they might be listening recharge like
nothing. Yeah, if you wanta if

1968
02:58:39.200 --> 02:58:45.040
you want very cheap labor? Hello, how you doing? No? And

1969
02:58:45.239 --> 02:58:48.600
no. No. The people who
the people who are able to do it,

1970
02:58:50.079 --> 02:58:52.040
the people who are able to do
it full time, deserve it.

1971
02:58:52.360 --> 02:58:58.840
They've they've set the standard. Will
John wants to know, have you worked

1972
02:59:00.040 --> 02:59:05.760
Franco in any of your courses?
Oh? Yeah, yeah, yeah,

1973
02:59:05.799 --> 02:59:11.159
yeah, well you know what the
so here, I was cautious. So

1974
02:59:11.200 --> 02:59:18.120
the first film I actually tried out
was Marquis de Sage Justine, and I

1975
02:59:18.200 --> 02:59:28.360
knew that that would play pretty well
because you know, there's the it's it's

1976
02:59:28.360 --> 02:59:35.840
a little bit tamer it's but it's
also more like conventionally shot. It's got

1977
02:59:35.840 --> 02:59:43.040
a crazy Jack Plants performance in it, and it went really well. People

1978
02:59:43.120 --> 02:59:48.479
liked it. And so over the
years, I've done vampires, Lesbos,

1979
02:59:50.040 --> 02:59:58.239
I've done like a clip real of
like thirty of his different movies. I've

1980
02:59:58.280 --> 03:00:03.719
done She Killed Annext to see that
when pretty well, yeah, a virgin

1981
03:00:03.760 --> 03:00:09.399
among the living dead that one went
pretty well, and double came from Casavo

1982
03:00:09.639 --> 03:00:18.840
that goma nice. Yeah. Uh, what's the most like wild off the

1983
03:00:18.840 --> 03:00:24.280
wall thing that you've put in one
of those courses? Well, you know,

1984
03:00:24.479 --> 03:00:31.239
it depends. It really depends on
the audience, you know. Like

1985
03:00:31.120 --> 03:00:35.799
I've shown Doris Wishman's Bad Girls go
to Hell like a million times, and

1986
03:00:37.879 --> 03:00:41.559
almost every time at least one person
has been, like, I want to

1987
03:00:41.559 --> 03:00:45.200
do my semester a long project on
doorst Wishman. This movie was incredible,

1988
03:00:46.280 --> 03:00:50.200
but this past semester when I showed
it, it was by far the least

1989
03:00:50.239 --> 03:00:52.600
favorite movie of the class. At
the end of the class, like one

1990
03:00:52.600 --> 03:00:56.920
of the questions on the it's not
really an exam, but it's like a

1991
03:00:56.959 --> 03:01:01.399
final project where they have to answer
questions, and one of the questions is

1992
03:01:01.440 --> 03:01:05.079
to say what their favorite and least
favorite films where and why? And this

1993
03:01:05.079 --> 03:01:09.280
this semester, for the first time, Bad Girls Go to Hell was by

1994
03:01:09.319 --> 03:01:16.639
far the least favorite because of the
relatively super tame. I mean, I'm

1995
03:01:16.680 --> 03:01:22.120
not trying to discount it because it's
sexual assault is horrific, but the it's

1996
03:01:22.120 --> 03:01:26.239
not like I should irreversible, you
know what I mean? Like it's it's

1997
03:01:26.239 --> 03:01:33.680
Bad Girls Go to Hell. It's
it's fairly tame and its horrificness. But

1998
03:01:35.000 --> 03:01:41.120
people didn't like it, and interestingly
enough, their favorite movie also by far

1999
03:01:41.440 --> 03:01:48.000
this past semester was Brian using a
Society, So tell me how the fuck

2000
03:01:48.079 --> 03:01:50.239
that is that You're like, you
know what, Bad Girls Grow to Hell

2001
03:01:50.399 --> 03:01:56.959
was kind of traumatic, but Society
was amazing. Oh man, the great

2002
03:01:58.040 --> 03:02:07.040
shunting loved to society. H what's
the wildest thing? Well, definitely the

2003
03:02:09.959 --> 03:02:16.600
definitely the movie with the scene that
was the hardest for most people was I've

2004
03:02:16.600 --> 03:02:24.319
shown Robert of Finley's tenement Game of
Survival several times and that that's gotta scene

2005
03:02:24.319 --> 03:02:31.680
that it is impossible to be okay
with. You know, Yeah, what

2006
03:02:31.799 --> 03:02:39.280
has been the wildest thing that I've
shown? I don't know what do you

2007
03:02:39.319 --> 03:02:43.239
consider the wild? People like brain
damage a lot, the Frank Kenilwatter film.

2008
03:02:45.040 --> 03:02:48.760
It's a good one. I showed
a romper stomper one time, and

2009
03:02:48.799 --> 03:02:54.520
that was uncomfortable. But it was
uncomfortable because everyone was like, god damn,

2010
03:02:54.559 --> 03:03:00.479
this movie is awesome. And Russell
Crowe is a really attractive character,

2011
03:03:00.600 --> 03:03:07.079
but he's an awful Nazi and music
is really catchy, but it's skinhead music

2012
03:03:09.360 --> 03:03:15.959
not good. So that was a
tough one. Oh all right, you

2013
03:03:15.959 --> 03:03:20.920
know here it is. This might
given our audience, this might not seem

2014
03:03:20.120 --> 03:03:28.600
too much, but definitely the most
brutal movie that I've shown, and movie

2015
03:03:28.680 --> 03:03:37.000
that really got the most like authentic
and emotionally deep response from a class was

2016
03:03:37.040 --> 03:03:41.479
this Korean film called Chaser. If
any of you have seen Chaser, you're

2017
03:03:41.520 --> 03:03:48.319
like, whoa. And if you
haven't seen Chaser seeking Out, it's it's

2018
03:03:48.360 --> 03:03:54.959
an amazing film. It's tough to
watch. It's about a cop who has

2019
03:03:56.360 --> 03:04:01.319
quit the force and become a pimp, and he's trying to track down a

2020
03:04:01.799 --> 03:04:09.639
man who's murdering sex workers. So, you know, lighthearted fun. I

2021
03:04:09.680 --> 03:04:13.879
feel like we talked about this title
previously on the show. It's one of

2022
03:04:13.879 --> 03:04:18.000
my favorite movies about that. That's
the one from two thousand and eight.

2023
03:04:18.120 --> 03:04:22.520
Right, yeah, that sounds right
interesting. Okay. It had a Blu

2024
03:04:22.639 --> 03:04:26.559
Ray release at some point, but
with out of print, and so all

2025
03:04:26.559 --> 03:04:30.600
I have is my DVD. Damn, I don't know. I've been rambling

2026
03:04:30.680 --> 03:04:33.280
on, man, how are you
doing? I'm all right. It's been

2027
03:04:33.680 --> 03:04:41.159
a busier week than expected. Got
a lot going on. That's the big

2028
03:04:41.200 --> 03:04:46.479
thing. Too many projects that are
in the hopper. I feel like I

2029
03:04:46.520 --> 03:04:50.120
never stopped talking, and I just
last night I was like a macee that

2030
03:04:50.159 --> 03:04:52.680
I don't lose my voice like once
or twice a week. I'm shocked the

2031
03:04:54.319 --> 03:04:56.520
amount of talking. I do it
my day job, and then doing stuff

2032
03:04:56.520 --> 03:05:01.920
for this, making phone calls for
all the other stuff we do. It's

2033
03:05:01.159 --> 03:05:09.200
it's a lot. I gotta tell
you. This man manages so many projects.

2034
03:05:09.479 --> 03:05:11.719
Like I can't believe we can only
really talk about two of them.

2035
03:05:11.920 --> 03:05:16.920
But like, well that the it's
they're not involving you. But we got

2036
03:05:16.920 --> 03:05:24.239
two more that we're announced from tear
Vision two. So uh, that's true.

2037
03:05:24.559 --> 03:05:26.840
Those don't exist to will no.
No, of course they don't go

2038
03:05:26.840 --> 03:05:30.959
ahead and say which ones they are. Well, you talk to them already,

2039
03:05:31.040 --> 03:05:33.719
the I did, Yes, but
it's four projects, not just two.

2040
03:05:35.760 --> 03:05:43.319
We can only announce too. We
are someone's favorite, Come on,

2041
03:05:43.520 --> 03:05:48.719
someone's favorite can announce four, yes, but in twenty twenty four, there's

2042
03:05:48.719 --> 03:05:56.040
gonna be like ten or fifteen more, right at the very least. Yeah,

2043
03:05:56.079 --> 03:06:01.399
you wouldn't believe it, well,
I can't. Uh, it's crazy.

2044
03:06:01.120 --> 03:06:07.639
Speaking of losing your voice or gaining
your voice. I'll recommend this.

2045
03:06:07.680 --> 03:06:11.920
I recently listened to you and Billy
Ray on the what's it called the Director's

2046
03:06:11.079 --> 03:06:16.319
Podcast? Oh, the Director's Club, Coacher's Club talking about Don Bluth,

2047
03:06:16.239 --> 03:06:20.959
Don Bluth and speaking of I just
I didn't have a copy of it.

2048
03:06:22.079 --> 03:06:24.680
I had to go pick up An
American Tale. Well, I got to

2049
03:06:24.680 --> 03:06:31.680
tell you, it's pretty good.
It's a pretty good episode. If you

2050
03:06:31.760 --> 03:06:37.319
like Don Bluth. Yeah, were
you Don Blue stand growing up? No?

2051
03:06:37.120 --> 03:06:39.879
No, do you like any of
any of Oh? Yeah, I'm

2052
03:06:39.879 --> 03:06:46.280
a huge Secret Nim person. Yeah. I read the novel when I was

2053
03:06:46.319 --> 03:06:52.079
a kid and then saw the movie
and big fan of Secret Nim not a

2054
03:06:52.559 --> 03:06:56.639
I mean, I recognize objectively that
American Tale is great, but it's like,

2055
03:06:56.879 --> 03:07:01.280
I don't think it'd be a surprise
to anybody that's not I think I

2056
03:07:01.680 --> 03:07:07.280
us still one hundred believe Anastasia is
Don Blue masterpiece. I love Anastasia.

2057
03:07:07.639 --> 03:07:11.440
That movie is amazing. Ah man, I saw that in the theater one

2058
03:07:11.559 --> 03:07:20.079
Thanksgiving whenever it came out the the
innards of rescuteam. That's that's my ship

2059
03:07:20.200 --> 03:07:24.000
right there. And And just to
go back to American tail. I want

2060
03:07:24.000 --> 03:07:31.079
to make it clear, I'm not
anti emmer, I'm pro I just I'm

2061
03:07:31.120 --> 03:07:35.040
just not like, Yeah, this
somewhere out there song, that's not my

2062
03:07:35.120 --> 03:07:39.079
deal. And I like an American
Tale. I still think Five Will Goes

2063
03:07:39.079 --> 03:07:43.600
West is actually a better film than
American Tale. Secret of Them all the

2064
03:07:43.600 --> 03:07:52.319
way, I like it dark.
Anastasia's anti station all about it, I

2065
03:07:52.639 --> 03:07:56.239
will say I was I think I
said it on their troll in Central Park.

2066
03:07:56.479 --> 03:08:00.559
That was the first time I'd ever
seen it. Oh man, did

2067
03:08:00.600 --> 03:08:03.360
I not enjoy that movie? That
and Pebble and the Penguin? Oh god

2068
03:08:03.360 --> 03:08:11.879
are those both? Yeah? But
enjoyed you guys on the Oh yeah,

2069
03:08:11.920 --> 03:08:18.000
Land four Time is fine. I
love it when the mom dies. Yeah.

2070
03:08:18.079 --> 03:08:24.959
I enjoyed hearing you guys on that
podcast talking about Bluth and and Ah.

2071
03:08:26.360 --> 03:08:28.959
I mean, really, that's that's
the closest we have in American animation

2072
03:08:31.000 --> 03:08:43.159
to like the kind of nuance and
darker themes that are commonplace in Ghibbli movies.

2073
03:08:41.799 --> 03:08:46.799
Yeah, but I still I don't
think Bluth quite even gets to that

2074
03:08:46.920 --> 03:09:00.000
level. But Decenter is shot like
Anastasia. It is historically inaccurate. Yeah,

2075
03:09:00.360 --> 03:09:05.360
but I believe some of that stuff
actually happened after Anastasia was made,

2076
03:09:05.360 --> 03:09:09.159
Like I think there was some stuff
that proved that it was inaccurate, Like

2077
03:09:09.200 --> 03:09:13.360
five years after the movie came out. Chris says, All Dogs Go to

2078
03:09:13.399 --> 03:09:16.440
Heaven. I gotta admit I've rewatched
All Dogs so I could talk about it

2079
03:09:16.440 --> 03:09:20.000
on that podcast. Did not like
it nearly as much as I did when

2080
03:09:20.040 --> 03:09:22.479
I was a kid. I yeah, was not big on that movie.

2081
03:09:22.680 --> 03:09:28.360
Well, I just gotta say,
knowing my own dog, that's not true.

2082
03:09:31.440 --> 03:09:37.120
You don't and they won't. Some
dogs are fucking assholes. Hell Jesus.

2083
03:09:37.680 --> 03:09:43.440
On that note, let's call it
a night as usual. If you

2084
03:09:43.520 --> 03:09:46.959

comment. I'm highlighting that's correct,
frankifted. Joel is our guest for next

2088
03:10:03.719 --> 03:10:09.360
Thursday's Reconnected. Going to be a
long, fun show next week. I

2089
03:10:09.159 --> 03:10:11.639
didn't say anything about it tonight,
but I put up a long video this

2090
03:10:11.680 --> 03:10:16.920
week with Christashu from the Culture Cast. We talked about found footage If you're

2091
03:10:16.959 --> 03:10:18.479
into found footage, go give that
a watch. I think it's a really

2092
03:10:18.520 --> 03:10:24.120
fun conversation because I actually really love
found footage for the most part. Gosh,

2093
03:10:24.200 --> 03:10:28.840
anything else going on that you want
to highlight or talk about other than

2094
03:10:28.920 --> 03:10:33.000
pre order Swiss Conspiracy and Spider Labyrinth? Lake Mungo, Man, that's a

2095
03:10:33.040 --> 03:10:41.440
great one good movie. Yeah,
you know I I would love to do

2096
03:10:41.479 --> 03:10:50.399
a commentary on any Don Bluth movie. Me too. I don't hate dogs.

2097
03:10:50.440 --> 03:10:58.840
I love cats. That's that's that's
the you're asking what I wanted.

2098
03:11:00.280 --> 03:11:03.159
Anything you go on a highlight other
than Swiss Conspiracy and Spider Labyrinth. I

2099
03:11:03.200 --> 03:11:11.120
have recorded an appearance on a podcast
talking about Wes Craven, among other things,

2100
03:11:11.719 --> 03:11:16.959
and as soon as I get to
go ahead, I will share the

2101
03:11:18.000 --> 03:11:24.760
information about it and I hope people
check it out. I'm in two essay

2102
03:11:24.760 --> 03:11:30.120
collections about Wes Craven that just came
out this year. One essays on Hills

2103
03:11:30.120 --> 03:11:33.399
Have Eyes Part two and the other
is on his five television films. So

2104
03:11:35.360 --> 03:11:41.319
I'm in a West Craven kind of
mood. And as a teaser, well,

2105
03:11:43.040 --> 03:11:45.360
like why would you listen to it? Because of this? But like

2106
03:11:45.520 --> 03:11:50.559
I do go on at length about
like how my dream is for Wes Craven's

2107
03:11:50.600 --> 03:11:54.479
television films to be released as a
box set with Amanda Reys doing commentaries on

2108
03:11:54.520 --> 03:12:01.159
everyone and maybybe one of them,
give me one. But but yeah,

2109
03:12:01.200 --> 03:12:03.040
that's gonna be coming out soon,
so I'll share it as I'm able to.

2110
03:12:05.760 --> 03:12:07.280
And one of the Wes Craven books, at least I believe, is

2111
03:12:07.319 --> 03:12:13.280
linked in the description below. You
should go check it out. And all

2112
03:12:13.319 --> 03:12:20.319
of Will's writing is incredible, and
that is that I would. I would.

2113
03:12:20.520 --> 03:12:22.799
That is the reason that you are
the other half of someone's favorite.

2114
03:12:24.239 --> 03:12:37.200
If it was mediocre, I would
have said no, someone's acceptable. Oh

2115
03:12:37.239 --> 03:12:46.200
man, someone's average is okay for
most. Anyways, thank you all for

2116
03:12:46.319 --> 03:12:50.799
a incredible week as usual. Check
out the Physical Media Advocate if you are

2117
03:12:50.799 --> 03:12:56.639
into that sort of thing. Oh
god, yeah, de similar just asks

2118
03:12:56.760 --> 03:13:01.200
did you know Toby Hooper wrote a
novel, which means that d Sibner has

2119
03:13:01.239 --> 03:13:07.879
not checked out my book American Twilight
The Cinema of Toby Hooper, which is

2120
03:13:07.920 --> 03:13:11.559
also lenked in description below, which
includes some discussion of Midnight Movie, which

2121
03:13:11.600 --> 03:13:18.239
is actually quite good. I highly
recommend people check out Toby Hoopner and Toby

2122
03:13:18.239 --> 03:13:26.959
Hoopner, Toby Hooper and Alan Goldscher
wrote Midnight Movie. And it's quite good,

2123
03:13:26.399 --> 03:13:30.639
quite a good novel. And that's
all she wrote, because if we

2124
03:13:30.719 --> 03:13:31.760
keep doing this, we're going to
talking about the thirty minutes. Thank you

2125
03:13:31.760 --> 03:13:41.319
all, See you next Thursday.
Have a good one. And it's
