I don't know if it's weird. Is it weird to like your own intro
music? Because every time I hear it, I know that I get to
spend time with all of you, So I get all excited every time I
hear it. I would do it everybody. I'm here tonight with one of
my favorite people. This is mister Will Dotson. Will is an incredibly bright
person and would love to hear all kinds of educational type questions in the chat
tonight. And let's dive in because Stan Geezey's already here, stan Will's friend.
Just being my first day assistant teaching the library went well, very nice
or a GOMMI Sean is watching deep Cover tonight, one of my favorites.
Deep Cover is fantastic. Hey Will, how you been lately? Oh?
Good, good. It's been a busy few weeks. My residential college program
here at NC Greensborough just to their annual Haunted House after two years of being
on hiatus, and it was great. We had about two hundred people come
through. We turn a whole residence hall into a haunted attraction and about sixty
students act in it and writes a little money for Cherry and collect food for
an open pantry, but most importantly jump out from behind dark corners and scream
at people. Nice. So I feel a little allergic to haunts. I'm
not sure if you saw on the discord, did you hear what happened to
me last weekend? No? No, I've been by my mom and I
went to one of the downtown Kansas City hunts and we went through one and
it was all right. It was a little disorienting, more than scary,
very small, like I had to crawl in the hands and knees like four
times, and for somebody at six' five, that's not fun. We
go through the second one and it was decent. It was it was alright,
and then we get down to the final little descent and walking down the
last flight of stairs, I watched my mom tumble down go ass overhead.
The entire flight of stairs end at the bottom, and I was like,
oh mom. I took one step and the stairs were so slippery. My
feet shot out from under me and I slid the entire way and almost landed
on top of her. We are both pretty jecked. We are covered in
bruises. This is my entire arm. Whoa the purple light doesn't show you
can see it's actually purple. Yeah, my mom is messed up. We'll
say. I've got a straight line bruise right across my butt cheeks, which
makes it look like crosshairs. It's kind of gnarly, but it's good because
I'm here with all of you tonight, and I'm stoked that we get to
see everybody. Mitchell's here, my sister's here. Just got to hear about
my bus butt cheeks. Hello, Hello, Stan says I jump out of
people from dark corners all the time. I love that he says that with
that avatar. So any recent pickups for you? Yeah, I had a
lot come in. There was the Scream Factory sale and the vinegars and subscription
I picked. Uh, well, I'll start with one of them. This
is kind of an upgrade for me. I don't do much business with this
company, but best Buy had an exclusive four case steel book of what I
think is the best superhero movie ever made. Oh my gosh, come on,
be one of a couple of things, and I'm already nervous. Arguments
will begin. This is my favorite. It's a satire of the most toxic
of toxic men. Lexi Alexander's Punisher war Zone. I saw that coming.
Yeah. I love this movie. I love it. She's a great director.
She takes no ship from anybody, which has hurt her career quite a
bit. But I think this is I think this is a great, great
movie. I love those lines steals that they give us, the plastic case
around it. And on top of that, they are fairly cheap there when
they come out, they're like twenty bucks or less every single time. That's
what did it for me. Stan just got texts Chainsaw two from Vinegar.
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm very excited about that, and I
hope, I hope it's a sign of more Hooper come from various places.
We've still got a lot of of unrestored Hooper titles. So how about you,
what what is the one that you're looking forward to the most from Hooper
that doesn't have a good release yet Night Terrors, The Apartment Complex, and
The Toolbox Murders. Ah. I will say it's been a pretty good Hooper
heavy year this year, although most of them have gotten releases previously. But
to see Poltergeist come out in such a nice release Texas, Chainsaw Masker two
I'm dangerous tonight is a decent little release, and of course Funhouse looks better
than ever before. Have you seen the four K of the Funhouse yet?
I did pick it up. I'm excited to watch again. I should spend
about a year since I've seen the Funhouse, so it's time, perfect time.
Then I've got one all show. I normally show these off to patrons
first, However, this one just seems too good not to share. Columbia
Classics one, three and this thing these are always amazing, So I'm gonna
take off the little j card here. Maybe glue is really tight this time.
There we go. So these releases, first off, Sony best studio
in the business for four K restorations when it's coming straight from the studio.
These releases, though, it is a beautiful set. We got a nice
hardcover box in the back that drops the entire box. It is a top
loading on the back of the box set. And these things they are not
just let me see if I can get a good view, not just full
of pictures. There's actually quite a bit of decent writing in here. It's
not just a waste of space. Sony knows exactly what they're doing. And
then I really like the way that they present these. So it opens front
loading like that. Okay, cool. Now each of these sides have full
slipcover releases for all of the titles. So this is to serve with love
from here to Eternity and it happened one night. That is all on the
left side. This is kind of hard to do upside down. Then the
other side is the last picture show Annie and as good as it gets.
And these, like I said, all have their own slipcover different art on
the inside, which is really nice coming from a studio. And then actual
discard. It's not just kind of sop together and really cheap done. These
are really really nice. That is I did not realize those sets were so
nicely put together. I assumed they were going to be like sleeves and scratch
up the discs and stuff. No, Sony goes all out on these,
and that's one of the reasons why I am so excited for that Sony Pictures
Classic box that they have coming out, because they just do this for all
of these massive sets, and I'm I'm always impressed. Because it's a studio,
you kind of expect the worst and to get the best is really shocking.
Yeah, yeah, we were talking about Hooper. John Peters says,
I'd like a better version of Salem's Lot with bonuses. I think we all
would. We got a question for you from Dude McMahon as well. Know
if any of the footage film by Toby Hooper remains in the dark before he
was fired. I just found out he was involved the other day. I
never knew. I tell you who is an expert on that, mister Julius
Vanzon, the proprietor and primary content creator of the Toby Hooper Appreciation Society website.
So you should you should google that and look up some stuff on the
dark standos Stan says, Apparently Hooper claims that there is, and the producer
might have admitted that some of his footage made it into the dark. I
see some obvious Hooper footage in the film. Very nice, there you go.
K B. Yes, I will absolutely see you someday. Stoked on
that. Let's see. Josephine says, I know you teach film and not
literature, but if you were to teach a book or short story side by
side with the film adaptation, which one would you choose? Oh? I
do actually teach literature several different courses. In fact, well, this will
be an easy answer for your for your question, because I teach, of
course, on Frankenston and Dracula, and we read both novels, both stage
play adaptations, and watch about twelve different films of in Dracula lore. So
those are those are two good ones. Now, if I had to pick
something, I don't know. There's so many, you know, i'd really
like to do Catch twenty two film, Solder House five, you know all
those? Ah, there you go, Stan, Dan got the info from
the versus mouth. Gosh, I'll have to keep thinking. There's so many
that I would like to do. I mean the big ones, like you
know, Heart of Darkness and stuff. Oh, you know what I know.
Here's my definitive answer. The most dangerous game, uh, paired with
Slave Girls from Beyond Infinity, which is my favorite adaptation of that story.
Yeah, I agree with Stan who says I would love to take Will's dracular
class. Oh, it's pretty good. Do you teach any movies based on
short stories or teach any short stories? Sure, Rachmon, I'll do quite
a bit. That's the first one that comes to mind. Gosh, it's
hard. You know, when you're a live it's hard to think of,
but the answer is yes, Ramon, I've done quite a few times.
I also do a course on Cursawa and Shakespeare, so we do Hamlet,
Macbeth and King Lear and show the bad sleep Well, thrown the Blood and
ron h And that's that was pretty Yeah. Sure next time you'll definitely be
more interested interested in it than most of the students are. They always get
into throwing a blood for sure and ron course. So my next big question,
what have what have you been watching lately? Oh? Okay, okay,
so streaming I saw on shuttered uh dead stream. Everybody's talking about that
one. Yeah, it was. It was pretty pretty good. I was
not expecting a lot, but it was very nice. I'm watching a television
show called French Village which ran from I think I think it ended in twenty
twelve, and it's seven seasons. It's set during It's a provincial French village
and it covers from the time the Nazis take over to the end of the
war and it's great. I'm in I'm in season five right. And then
movies, Well, I just taught. I just finished teaching my intro to
film studies class and tonight we showed a losing ground Kathleen Collins nineteen eighty two.
This is the first film directed by a black woman since nineteen twenty two.
A lot of people think it's nineteen nineties Daughters of the Dust by Julie
Dash that's the first film directed by black women that got a theatrical release.
This one never got a theatrical played festivals. Finally, thanks to the efforts
of Kathleen Collins's Daughter was released on DVD and Blu ray in twenty fifteen,
and it's been a revelation to everybody. It's amazing. Bill Gunn, Dwayne
Jones not a living dead fame, and Sarah's got the great theatrical actress losing
grapp That's what I've been watching. The other big thing. You've been watching
a lot of live music too. Who else? Well have you been seen
in the last thirty to forty five days, It seems like, oh my
god, I have so. I saw Iron Maiden this month, my first
Iron maidens the show. It was amazing. Those guys. My mom watches
that, she'll be jealous as hell. Oh my gosh, it was.
They were great. I was that was not only my pride, but I
do appreciate Iron Maiden. I am and I saw KNF d M. This
month, I saw Stereo Lab. We went with my wife to see Stereo
Lab. That's her favorite bands, and it happened to beyond our anniversary,
so I have to us either and probably am. I'm most excited because just
this past one mon Sunday, I got to see a and there's a group
of guys I was friends with back in the day before they hit it big,
and I hadn't seen him in about fifteen years. They're a horror punk
band called blitz Kid, and I knew him way back when, and then
they went out and became rock stars, and so I surprised him. They
didn't know it was going to be there. So I got to catch up
with my buddies and and that's that. And next Sunday I'm going to see
the legendary Pink Dots. So yes, I'm seeing a lot of music lately,
very nice things I've watched recently. I finally got see Terrified too.
When saw that in the theater, and it was a movie. It was
really well made. I really appreciated all the practical effects I think it had
some of the best animatronics that I've seen in literally years, and especially one
of the scenes. I think that it's over long and a little convoluted,
but supposedly some of that was on purpose. He's supposedly planting some seeds for
the third one, and it will explain everything. But as a as a
center piece in a trilogy, I guess which sounds like it might end up
as a trilogy. It's it's got some weak points, for sure, but
I certainly enjoyed it. I'm not saying it's bad at all. It was
just it was long, unnecessarily for sure. I did. I did just
see the first one way of preparation. I think that the clown has a
great character. He really is. I think he is maybe the most like
definitive horror villain we've had in quite some time. Yeah, really good.
But anyway, I interrupted continue. No, I I couldn't even think about
the stuff I've watched. I was about to reach for my list. I
watched a Monster House with my kids. That movie holds up like crazy.
I love Monster House. Opening my letter box account so I can remember.
On Halloween, I watched Trick or Treat my Mom had never seen it,
and it was nice to show her that. We also watched Garfield's Halloween Adventure,
the like twenty five minutes short from nineteen eighty five, that one that
holds up like crazy, some really good comedy in there. Biggest one though,
over the last couple of weeks that I watched Thirst, the Vampire film
from two thousand and nine. Have you ever seen Thirst the Park cham Luke,
Yeah, yes, but I say it like that because I recall that
there was some wine involved. I don't remember. I mean, it's that
type of movie. It is kind of a sexy vampire movie. It kind
of in certain scenes. That movie kind of blew me away, very very
unique take on a vampire movie. Loved how much they kind of took hold
of the religious side of things and tore that apart and was so like realistic
about people's takes on religion. They didn't hold back or make anybody seem weak
because of it. It was just more of a matter of fact delivery.
Really liked it. I think it was kind of a masterpiece and blew my
mind a little bit. Rewatched The Baba Duke for an interview that I'm having
this Saturday, and my god, do I love that movie. Just incredible.
I don't even know what to saying. The child actor in that is
like mind blowingly good. Yeah, yeah, and he he gets that that
sweet spot of like this cute kid that you love who is also so irritating,
right that, like your patience is beginning to wear down. And you
know, as a parent, I think all parents know that point, right,
And yeah, the movie's really well done, very much so. Made
me think of my kid while watching it, that's for sure. But that's
enough about us. How about we get to some of these incredible announcements because
we have a fairly large slate to break into this time. You always get
me on these big weeks, which, hey, that's why I'm here,
that's why you're here. First up, we got some announcements from Arrow.
We finally got the announcement the Angela Mao double feature. This has been announced
quite some time ago because Eureka put this out in the UK. And what's
funny is if you bought the Eureka set and put it into a region A
player, it had the Arrow logos and everything. So it is the exact
same disc just with different discard. That's good to hear because I ordered the
Eureka it hasn't come yet, but then I saw this announcement. I was
like, well, ah, that's so I'm relieved. It is the exact
same thing, all the same features and everything. So a lot of people
know about this one already, so we're not going to spend a ton of
time on it. But one cool thing is they do have an exclusive original
art slipcover that you get from the Aero Video site. This one is and
it's fairly cheap for a double feature. It's less than thirty bucks and it's
got some really good art on it. Yeah. Cool, loving this.
Next up, we get one that a lot of us did not expect,
I don't think, and we get a Sunny Chiva set they're calling the Executioner
Collection. And this one is coming on January tenth in the UK and the
US and Canada. This is a Sunny Chiva set. Like I said,
it's HD only Blu ray. We got the original uncompressed audio. We got
subtitles of course, new audio commentary by Chris Pagiali and Mark Walco. A
thirty minute featurette on Sonny Chiva featuring Grady Hendricks, Tom mess Krick Pagiali,
Marco Joaquim and Segiano from the band Guitar Wolf, and a couple other small
bonus features there. But this one is great because we are getting the Executioner
in both its original Japanese language version and the English dub from the nineteen seventies
in high def for the first time on a home video. If you like
Street Fighter, you're probably gonna like this one. And this is one that
a lot of people are really thankful for because obviously, with Sonny passing away
pretty recently, this is one of the ways to do it right. How
do you feel about Sonny Cheeba A huge Sonny Chiapa fan, huge Sonny cheap
A fan in the fact that I do feel one of the better Tarantino monologues
as Christian Slater's enthusiastic discussion in True Romance. And I'm excited too because there's
this Shell Factory Chiba set coming out as well, So this is a nice
opportunity for people who both fans of Chiba and people who are new to Chieba's
work to see a lot of the really good stuff. And I I love
a lot of his me a great diversity of films, you know Wuosha,
you know street Fighter, modern day kind of gritty action movies, and the
executioner I've not actually seen before, so I'm really excited to see this HICs.
That's that's pretty rare for Will, so that's always a good thing.
Next up one that took a lot of people by storm. This is coming
on January thirty first in the UK and the US and Canada. This is
the Lucas Moodyson Collection and it's got Fucking Them All, which is also called
Show Me Love Together, Lilia Forever, a Whole in My Heart, Container,
Mammoth and We Are the Best. This has all kinds of special features
in here. This is one of those sets where when I post it on
here for the announcements, I couldn't even put everything in the Instagram post because
they are so limited on characters. This is just one that seems like a
must grab immediately. Have you seen anything from this filmmaker? No, he's
uh, he's a He's a filmmaker who's kind of been a blind spot for
me of you know, red reviews and and and no appreciations here and there.
But I have not just had time to do a lot of your modern
Scandinavian sentement in general. So this is this is a will be an educational
opportunity for me as far as I read this seems to be and I think
it's written in here or maybe not. This has basically everything that he's done,
I believe. So this is on par with like a Severn style box
set of if you buy one thing, you have everything from somebody. And
that's the kind of thing I truly immediately get excited about because it's this is
one of those things that is like film school in a box. If you
can dive into one person's filmography with one purchase. That seems to be the
type of thing that I immediately am going to go and put on my want
to pre order list the day it gets announced. Next up the Dunwich Horror,
coming January tenth in the UK and the US. This gets a new
two K restoration from the OCN, which is nice. Of course, this
is the Dean Stockwell film, and this has a new commentary by Guy Adams
and Alexandra Benedict, creators of the audio drama Arkham County. There's a new
conversation between Stephen R. Bissett and horror author Stephen Laws, in which they
discussed The Dunwich horr Lovecraft and their memories of seeing the film on release.
There's a new interview with science fiction and fantasy writer ruthana Emmer's, author of
the Insmouth Legacy series, and then a new interview with music historian David Huckvale
which he takes a closer look at Less Baxter's score for The Dunwich Horror.
I mean, this is this is much better than I expected for a film
like this. Yeah, I've always enjoyed. I have a there was a
Midnight Movies DVD release that's out of print and I have a copy of that.
It's not a great transfer, but I've always been really fond of this
movie, so it'll be great to see and all these all these extras because
I don't know a whole lot about the production of it. So very exciting
announcement. Yeah, more more. Lovecraft is always a good thing. And
this cover art is really nice in my opinion, nothing too over the top,
nothing too busy, just enough to be striking and make me want it.
That was it from Arrow real quick. We got an announcement of a
four K steel book coming for Groundhog Day on January tenth. This is a
paramount wide steel book release, so it'll be available everywhere Amazon, Best Buy,
Walmart, Target, pretty much everything and nothing new on the disc.
It's just put in a steel book for everybody. And this is the steel
book card, all right. Then we got to mediate films releases. The
Hell of the Living Dead is coming on four K on January twenty third in
the UK. This is the nineteen eighty film Italian zombie films. Can't really
go wrong there. I knew you were going to react that way, Bruno.
MATI, well, hey, I've got the I've got the Blue Underground
release of this on a double feature with Rats Night of Terror, and it
is a you know, Mattey is an acquired taste, and I recognize the
irony of me as a a rabid Jess Franco fan to be like Brunum Tah
can be a little tough to watch sometimes, but I do, I do,
I do like this movie. It's fun. Uh, Jess Franco,
The Bane of My Existence. We are also getting one that I think is
a much better film House on the Edge of the Park coming on the K
for Medi eight films. This is coming on January twenty third. This is
the Diadado film. Of course, we don't have any more details, but
a couple of the contributors to this did confirm there are a lot of new
extras coming on this one, and I can't wait to see what all they
are doing. You know, we don't. We don't get enough appreciation for
any Bell, who was in several exploitation Italian exploitation movies around this time,
most notably Laura House on Edge of the Part. She is so interesting looking
and cool in her performance, and I don't know why there's not more of
a I think, I mean, there is a cult following for but I
think it should be larger. I would just be a following. I want
to connect with other anti Belle fans. I think she's great. Everybody ring
that Bell. We are also getting a Pete Walker heritage collection in the UK
from eighty eight films. This is coming on February twentieth. Then we'll have
the Big Switch for Men Only, Man of Violence, Home before Midnight,
School for Sex and Cool It Carol. Pete Walker has been kind of difficult
to get in the UK as far as I've been told. Same with like
genre Lan and a lot of the titles that Redemption put out in the US
for both of those people. So this is kind of cool that it's coming
out in the UK because not one that was easy to see for a long
time. What's your history of Pete Walker? Oh man, I like Pete
Walker. I'm so glad Keno's got those two sets of his stuff, and
I like to show in one of my classes scenes from what's that none none
movie? He did? What's it called? Uh not House of Whipcord?
Is it House of Whipcord? It is House of Whipcord. I like to
have scenes from the House of Whipcord. And a big fan of the Flesh
and Blood show as well. So I haven't seen any of these. I've
seen the titles, and a lot of them haven't been on Blu ray before,
so this is right dope. Hopefully they are uncut and let's see.
I don't think they actually said if it was or not. Walker's finest non
horror movies are brought together for the spectacular new box set, starring a host
of famous spaces with Robin Asquith, Francois, Pascal James, Aubrey, David
kernin and Lawn Peter. The Pete Walker Heritage Collection has all those movies presented
here in brand new HD restorations, featuring an arresting array of exclusive extras,
including brand new interviews with Pete Walker himself. Oh, great eighty eight Films
is not done, though, announcing a pretty big name title that we I
believe they hinted at last year, and I'm just glad to have it confirmed
here March twenty seventh. From eighty eight, we are getting The Whip and
the Body from nineteen sixty three, done by somebody you might have heard of,
Mario Baba. This is let's see it says seduction, sadism, and
sexual obsession. The Whip in the Body is one of the greatest films of
legendary director Mariobaba. The equally legendary Christopher Lee himself plays Kurt Menlith. He's
the black sheep of his family, banished for his wicked, wicked ways,
but now he's home and keen to resume his sato masochistic affair with his brother's
wife, Novenka. So keen, in fact, that not even his untimely
death cannot put a stop to his violent lust a delirious journey into troubled Souls.
This is arguably the greatest film Baba ever made, and now it's looking
better than ever, gorgeously restored for newly discovered film elements. Eighty eight Films
is proud to present Baba's masterpiece, finally resplendent in all its gothic splendor.
That's great. I loved The Whipping the Body. There's a film scholar ian
one. He contributed to the Toby Hooper book and as one of the editors
of the films of Just Francot. But anyway, he wrote a book called
euro Horror and he has a great analysis of The Whipping the Body in there.
A great book. Nice, yeah, and yeah, this is not
This description is over the top but absolutely accurate. Gotta sell the movie somehow.
They also are announcing Tentacles from nineteen seventy seven. This was recently released
by Keino, and sadly the Kenot disc was either empty of features or barely
had anything, and they did confirm this is going to be full of brand
new created special features. So if you have not picked up that Keno yet,
this might be the time. If you were still keen on this title
and this is the one. It's got Henry Fonda, Shelley Winters, Claude
Aikins, and Bo Hopkins. Wow. Have you seen Tentacles before? No?
I don't know how I missed it. One of those Italian like Jaws
ripoffs. What a cast. They must have drunk the whole time, of
course. Seventy seven Okay, a video g Astenidas, What did he do?
Couch says, I have a keynote release and it is fun. What's
going on? Ruben Villa or villa? That could be either way? Wow?
Wow, this looks cool. I cannot wait to be disappointed by it.
If that doesn't sum up all of our purchases, I don't know what
I think. Whenever you watch one of these Italian Jaws knockoffs, it's always
like, really cool but disappointing, but disappointing a fun one. Speaking of
disappointing, we are getting nineteen eighty four's Arc of the Sun God on four
K from eighty eight Films. Who needs Indiana Jones when you've got Rick Spear.
Rick's a master craftsman, the best damn thief in the business, and
he's been hired to find the fabled burial chamber of King Gilgamesh and retrieve the
valuables within. This one has Antonio Margheriti or Sorry, the highlight from Italian
genre favorite Antonio Margheriti, with the characteristically charming performance from David Warbeck as the
dashing rick Ark of the Sun. God tips its fedora at Raiders of the
Last Dark, but adds its own wild invention into the mix. I have
never seen this one, and I am a very eager se well. David
Warback sounds like a good indianagebic sam standing to me and Antonio Margaretti he's a
great filmmaker. Cannibal Apocalypse. He did You're the Hunter from the Future with
Red Brown. Yeah, I can't wait for this one. Cool, and
it's coming in four K. Yeah, that's a big deal. Eightya.
Film seems to be diving right into four K. Then they announced that God
of Gamblers coming on March twentieth. This is one of their Asian releases.
It says coach On is the greatest high roller in the world, King of
the Casino and as cool as is as cool as only an in his prime
chow yun fat can be. But that's before a nasty head injury renders him
mentally disabled. After being befriended by unscrupulous hustler Knife Uh, it is discovered
that, despite his other impairments, Coe's unerring instincts for gambling remain intact.
Because, of course, Knife thinks he's on to a sure thing. But
Coe still has enemies and they haven't forgotten him. A huge hit on its
original release and one of the defining films of Chow Yun Fat's astonishing career,
The card Charks at eighty eight Films are proud to roll the dice on a
gloriously restored version of this Hong Kong classic. Yeah, Rubin says, Asian
cinophile has been waiting for this release, and I agree. This is what
I've heard lobbed about for years, waiting for it to come out. Well,
he did the Iceman comments with it, which I think just came out,
didn't. Viniger Syndrome just put that out Vinegar Syndrome and eighty eight Films
is about to release it as well. Okay, yeah, that's one one.
Ging. I just hated the Iceman come, which is an Iceman come
with this only film I think I've seen by him. So this is this
is cool our very own. Ice in the chat says this is the first
in a trilogy. Wonder if they will release the others, and it doesn't
say they're not. They very well could time will tell? I think that
is no. Wait one more from eighty eight Films. March sixth, they
are putting out Detox, also known as I See You. After his girlfriend
is killed by the serial killer he's chasing. FBI agent Jake Malloy falls apart
and the rest is history. This is the Stallone movie that everybody looks at
as maybe Stallone's worst film ever, and that's including the fact that he's he
he made Stop for my Mom, Will Shoes, don't forget Oscar Touche.
But I'm like so anti John laandis So I might be biased, but I
remember seeing Detox in the video store I worked in on occasion, but I
never actually had to put the video back because I don't remember anybody ever renting
it, so I would just like see the box as I was putting back
other videos. That's all I know about this movie. Jim Gillespie, though
he made a couple of decent films. Yeah, let's see. It's a
psychological horror movie with simmering tension courtesy of Jim Gillespie and solid support from Chris
Christofferson, Robert Patrick, and Jeffrey Wright. That's a good cast. I
might have to check it out, too bad. It's not worse or better?
Ye well, oh hey, speaking of speaking of things that you might
not like, Let's go to the next one. All right, you got
it. Jeff Franco's Sex is Crazy is coming from seven Films this Black Friday.
This is from nineteen maybe one will What can you tell us about Sex
is Crazy? So I've got a really crappy DVD of this, and I
can't wait to see what it actually looks like because the DVD I have,
like the picture is kind of compressed and everything. So from what I can
tell based on the copy I have, the sexy is in fact crazy,
but perhaps a love that you already answered the que the only question I was
going to ask you about it, but perhaps not crazy in the way that
that Franco intended. So I'm I'm I'm super excited to see you know this
restore because this comes from from a period where he was really getting weird and
was actually shooting in Spain. Finally, after after the fall of Frank of
Francisco Franco. Uh and and you know, as as all Stephen Thrower documentaries
tell us, you know, the the the the architecture that he was he
was finding the structures of the buildings, the hotels and manners and just all
kinds of architecture that he was he was kind of obsessed with in that period
of really interesting look and stuff. So yeah, this is a this is
a kind of a gap in the early eighties Franco period. So I don't
know if I was making sense. I'm just excited about it. You're good.
On the disc we are getting an interview with Jess Franco expert, doctor
Alex Mendible, interview with Stephen Thrower, author of Flowers of Perversion, of
course, and then we're getting part seven of In the Land of Franco,
which is really cool that they're still continuing that. I did not expect that
to continue. Stan wants to know, is it crazier than short Buss.
Oh, yeah, it's Franco. It's a fever dream. I'm sure,
no disrespect to short Buss, but you know that's uh, there's like a
story there. I think, well, I think it's time for Will to
start gushing gross go over this beauty. Radiance Films has finally announced some of
their second wave of titles coming on May first. We are getting oh and
this is, by the way, coming in the UK, the US and
Canada. Franco Nero's Three Mafia Tails by Damiano Damiani. This is from sixty
eight, seventy one and seventy five all together. Will, why don't you
give us the whole pitch on this and why everybody should be buying it?
Oh my gosh. So the last time I think it was, the last
time I was on was when the Arrow Gothic OL's box set was announced and
I had Domiani is the Witch. So anybody who saw that knows that I'm
a big domion and DOMIONI fan. Just as a recap if you're not familiar
with him, he did. He's made a ton of great films about the
Italian mafia. Uh, the Italian mafia, the mafia, but the mafia
in Italy, both early in the twentieth century and in more modern times.
Blue Underground puts out a DVD of How to Kill a Judge. So it's
great that that's going to be restored and upgraded his his Western Center in the
Mexican Revolution, which Blue and Real has a blue ray of a bullet for
general is great. My favorite film, I Has the Most Beautiful Wife with
Moody and Twilight Time put that out. But here's why I'm really excited because
two of the films, the Day of the Owl has only been released as
Mafia on a double feature put out by Wild East, which I don't think.
I don't think they existence anymore. But it's a double feature with I
Am the Law, which is not on here, which is too bad.
But anyway, what am I trying to say? These films are great.
The Day of the Owl is a wonderful novel by uh Leonardo Sciascia about uh
sicily right, the Sicilian Mafia. It's a fantastic short novel. Domiano's adaptation
of it is compelling. And you know, Franko Neer, come on,
some of the most pierce some of the most piercing eyes in the history of
cinema. This guy is so compelling on the screen. I have not seen
the cases closed forget it. So this is this is really exciting for me.
But I can vouch for How to Kill a Judge and Dale The Owl,
both fantastic movies. Everybody should see more Domiano Domiani. How's that?
That was great? Then? The details of this box set, two K
restorations for all three films, a limited edition eighty page book featuring writing on
the film by experts on the genre, including Andrew Nette, paul A J.
Lewis, Nathaniel Thompson and Moore. This is going to be limited to
only three thousand copies presented in a box and they still will have that removable
OBI strip on there. And this is going to have new interviews with frank
O Niro, archival interviews with Franko Niro, with the writer and the production
manager. There's an archival interview with Claudia Cardinal. There is Mike Malloy discussing
the context of the formation of the Italian crime film genre, which that alone
right there sounds like a fascinating featurette to dive into Howard Berger on the Italian
career of actor Lee J. Cobb. And that's just on the first disc.
On the second one, we've got another new interview with Franco Niro,
some archival documentary on the making of the film, a video essay on the
Career of Domiani Domiano Domiani by Rachel Nisbett, and then the last one another
new interview with Franco Niro, new interview with Alberto Pizota, who's an author,
and then a new video essay by David Carnes. I mean this kind
of just screams by me now in my opinion, Yeah, kind of radiance
is continuing to kill it. In my opinion, they are doing some really
good stuff. But we also got some details on some of their previously announced
things. So this is the Man on the Roof. This one is coming
on March sixth. We did not have a specific date for this one yet.
Now we do. And on this one we're getting an introduction by Bo
Weiderberg, seems select audio commentary by critic and genre expert Peter Jilmstad, a
documentary by Marcus Stormquist on the making of The Man on the Roof. This
one is from two thousand and four and it's eighty two minutes long. There
is an intimate portrait of the filmmaker in which Weiderberg discusses his films and his
approach to filmmaking. There is an interview on here the original trailer, and
then the sleeve is going to be reversible. Again. These releases just look
fantastic. There's also a booklet with contributions from Weiderberg, biographer and critic Martin
Blomquist, Archiva writing by Weiderberg, Anders Markland on genre filmmaking and Sweden,
and some more. There's even contemporary reviews and film credits, which I love
that they're including stuff like that. I've learned to see this movie from yeah,
and it's supposed to be amazing from everything I've heard, but the contemporary
reviews and gosh, I think it was vinegar syndrome, and a couple of
their releases had some art from around the time when it was posted in newspapers
and stuff. That type of thing is always exciting to me because again,
we are archiving the film and all of that, but a lot of these
had press, had art, had writing on the film, and all of
that deserves to be archived as well. So as much as we can get
and preserve it and keep it, you know, in the ether, it
is always a good thing for me. Next up, filler Up with Super
This one is coming on March sixth as well. Two K restoration of the
film from the original negative This gets three interview short films with the cast directed
by Cavalier. My Wife Lives in Fear with the Tien Chicote, It's Full
with Bernard Crombe, and the King of Baby Bottles with Patrick Bouschaete. Friends
First and foremost, an interview with Bernard Cromba. In this video interview,
the star discusses his work on the film, his collaborators, and his career.
Almost a half hour long. And then we got a brand new appreciation
of Filler Up with super By I'm not gonna be able to say that name.
Here's do Cinema deputy editor Charlotte Garson, and new subtitles, plus a
reversible sleeve. As we can be expecting with all of these, it seems
like just another loaded to the gills film. Yeah, this is another one
I've read about but never seen, and when I talked to Frand, this
is one that he was very excited about because it's just kind of a one
of those vibe films which I tend to really like. They also released the
special features for Walking the Edge. As far as I can tell, there
is nothing new that was not on the Vinegar Syndrome OCN release, so that
is a good thing. However, they did release some information on some new
bundles. There are two new bundle options available from Radiance, one that covers
all releases from June through December of twenty twenty three. You can get that
for three hundred and fifty pounds, and one that covers just the UK Unique
title from June through December for one hundred and seventy pounds. So if you
are either a US bundle holder already or you are going to buy the US
bundle from MBD now, you can also buy a bundle of just the UK
Unique titles, which is a really cool way to do it. They're kind
of giving everybody their option to be able to get everything that they could want
from the label, and I mean their titles just kind of seem perfect at
this point, so I can understand the people that were really quick to jump
on it, and you're in good company. I mean even Sean Baker signed
up for that big subscription himself. It might be a little too much for
me, but it's tempting. Will wants it. Moving on from there,
let's talk about some of the more exciting stuff going on right now. Manda
Macabro still has up for pre order their current titles. They are running their
Halloween sale right this moment, and this is the release details for Doctor Caligari
on four k A. Here is the art on this one and this one.
We are getting a four K presentation of a brand new restoration from the
Ocen with two aspect ratio choices. You get the theatrical version with isolated music
and effects track. This tube features a blu ray with the ten ADP presentation
of that resident restoration, and then we get an audio commentary with Steven Sayadian,
interview with Steven Sayadian, interview with Madeline Raynall, interview with Laura Albert,
interview with Jerry Stall, and then limited edition features you got Going on
a Radiation Vacation. This is a booklet by Sayautian biographer Heather Drain, exclusive
slipcover and that is limited to two thousand numbered copies. Great. Yeah,
I ordered my bundle David Sales, so I'm definitely getting this one. Been
looking forward to it for a while. Yeah, this is one. As
soon as it was announced, I was very excited for it, and it
seems to me that they put pretty much everything that they could into it.
But we got some other stuff to talk about in their bundle. And the
next one is the Bollywood Horror box Set. Now before I go into this,
as I talk about this, please if you have not consider purchasing this
box set. This is supposedly not doing real well for them. And if
you are interested exactly if you are interested in anything Bollywood, if you enjoyed
R R Are, if you are okay with the musical interludes in the middle
of some of these films, they are absolutely worth it. I mean,
I've got they're just out of reach, or I'd show them some of the
old Bollywood stuff that they put out on DVD and I could tell you these
are absolutely worth it. And this box set is massive. I mean,
first of all, look how incredible these look on all of the covers.
This I believe the cover of the booklet, not of the box set itself.
But we've got six different discs on here. We got on disc one
we've got Atma from two thousand and six, Disc two, Purana Mandir from
nineteen eighty four, Disc three, Pirani Haveli from nineteen eighty nine, Disc
four, Takana from nineteen eighty six, Disc five Viurana from nineteen eighty eight
and then Disc six Bond Darwaza from nineteen ninety. Unfortunately, the film elements
of Bond Darwaza were no longer usable due to damage and storage problems. The
film is presented here in an SD source, so it's not HD. But
the other five are in this. We got interviews like crazy with filmmakers,
film historians, archivist actors. We've got let's see interviews produced by Sandeshanoi and
Bollywood crip Manda Macabro episode on Indian whoror. And they are still doing more
stuff for this that they haven't announced. It's crazy. But then also an
eighty page book on the history of Indian horror by Monsters Tim Paxton and featuring
new cover art by Jolian Yates. Lobby cards three thousand copies housed in an
exclusive to be revealed hard box, and I spoke to Jared from Antom Micabre
since the sale went live and said sorry. He said to me that this
is the one that is under selling their expectations, and I can't believe that.
I think. I think one of the reasons is the price is a
little scary to people. But a couple things, So this is the first
Mond of macabre box set ever, which for a label that's been around as
long as they as long as they have, that alone is kind of surprising.
The second thing, it is six discs. They are not holding out
on this thing. And if you noticed, all of the films are on
their own discs so that they can all get special features. This is not
going to be a light box. This is gonna be something that you are
gonna get tons and tons of time with. Uh. Mondo puts so much
love and attention into their releases. Uh, this is one that if you
are looking to get into any sort of genre from elsewhere, this is kind
of a must buy in my opinion. How much Bollywood you have experience with,
well, you know a lot of Bollywood genre films that I've experienced with
is due to Mondo Macapro. You know, yeah, be trade or favorite
of my film students. And uh, this box set is actually the thing
that most attracted me to the to the bundle same this time. I don't
I'm not, I don't do a whole lot of the more mainstream Hollywood stuff.
I did see Our Our Our. I succumbed to the hype and it
was enjoyable and you know, I'll watch I'll watch some films here and there
of of like the mainstream Bollywood stuff. But the stuff I like the most
is this weird crap that, yeah, that puts out. So I'm surprised
to hear more people are well. And just because of the fact that so
many of the so many of Mando's DVD releases have been have been botherywood horror
and stuff like that, I would have assumed this would be super super exciting
to me. I don't know, And those DVDs have been out of print
for quite some time too, So yeah, I really thought this one was
gonna fly off the shelves. However, he did say that some of the
other ones had been wildly successful. One that we're going to talk about in
just a moment has been way more successful than expected, and that is this
one, huh, from nineteen seventy three, The Witch's Mountain. For complicated
reasons fully explored in the extras on this disc, the film was banned in
Spain. This led to a kind of urban legend that it was a violent
and misogynistic film full of scenes of sex and depravity. In fact, The
Witch's Mountain is one of the most unique films of the seventy Spanish horror boom.
It is atmospheric, mystical and elusive. And this one sounds great.
First of all, the synopsis here sounds good. It's reason free. There's
a new HD transfer from the best available film elements. You got a new
interview with actor John Gafari, an archival interview with John Gafari. There's an
archival documentary about the making of the film, and then a new video commentary,
and then a video essay about Patti Sheppard by Chris O'Neil. Plus,
if you buy the Red case, which may be sold out now, that
one has a booklet on the film and its director by Ishmael Fernandez with brand
new art by Justin Coffee. This one was only fifteen hundred, which is
one of the reasons why it has sold so well. I'm sure, Yeah,
this is the one I know nothing about, so I was like,
okay, well I'll get in the bundle. Yeah, this one, this
one looks really good and it's it's done very well for them, so happy
for them. Let's see. I wanted to highlight what Ragnar said. They're
very well made horror films. They just have a five minute musical in the
middle of every single one of them. But other than that, they're awesome
and if you can, if you're okay with the musical aspect, the whole
thing's awesome. So yeah, these are great. Ragnar says, it's like
twenty one hundred and twenty bucks. Vinegar syndrome charges you forty dollars for one.
Come on, you can do it. Let's see. Ruben says,
is this the one with the rock? This is not Escape from which mountain?
This is kind of exciting. Malambra Films, which you may remember as
the company I believe they are out of Italy if I remember right, they
might be out of the UK that started up with a Kickstarter for The Sex
of Angels. Fairly recently, they have just announced that The Road to Fort
Alamo by Mario Baba is gonna be their second film release. This one is
coming soon. We don't have any other details on it. However, I
love that the art is so close to the Sex of Angels art. It
looks like they're gonna be keeping possibly as long as they keep this going a
similar aesthetic throughout their releases, which would be really neat and something that a
lot of boutiques actually can do very well with especially if the art is this
good. Yeah, that looks great. You're pretty much into pretty well into
Bava, right. Have you seen the road to fort Alamo? I have
not, and I am very into Bava and into West. So this is
a this is a this is one that I've been excited about. I actually
did not know about this announcement. So nice. Yeah, and I do
got to say this guy in the bottom right with the gun, Holy hell,
is he ripped? Let's see. Ragnar says. My only disappointment with
the Bollywood boxes I wish it came with the red cases. I get that,
however, they are if I remember right, I think he had to
buy a whole bunch ahead of time and they would lose a lot if they
were using six of them per box. Coming soon from Keno Lber The Secret
of the Incas from nineteen fifty four. This is getting a new HD master
from a four K scan of the thirty five millimeter y CM three stripped technicolor
elements. I believe this will be the same restoration as was on the imprint
release of this. I think that was earlier this year. They put out
so many damn titles that I'm sure it was earlier this year year, because
I don't think it was last year, and it looked pretty damn good.
So yeah, this is one I can certainly recommend. I won't be picking
this release up. I've got the imprint release, but nice to see that
it's coming to the US for everybody else that may want a copy. Yeah,
Charlton Heston doing the Indiana Jones in technicolor even Yeah. Next up from
Keno, we're getting the Crimson Rivers from two thousand with Jean Renau and Vincent
Castle or Cassell. I always say that wrong the first time. I don't
know why. This one I have never seen, but it sounded pretty damn
awesome. Have you seen the Crimson Rivers? No, but you know Matteo
Cussodics did what Lahane right? Yeah, so that's cool. I think that's
the only film I've seen by him, so I would definitely be interested in
seeing Crimson Rivers. Very nice, very nice coming soon. I got a
little bit of a scoop before this was announced widely. There is a new
UK boutique label coming out called Treasured Films. A little hard to find on
the web right now because that title is a little ambiguous while googling. They
are putting out The Last Hunter from nineteen eighty. I believe this will be
their first title. And this film, for those that don't know, During
the Vietnam War, an American soldier gets trapped behind enemy lines. A squad
of his buddies set out to rescue him. This is going to have an
interview with composer of Franco Mikkelizzi, interview with the ad Eduardo Margheriti, interview
with actress Margie Newton, interview with the stuntman Massimovanni, which I love when
we get stuff like that. An interview with a stunt man, he's got
to have some great stories. We got a video essay on the film by
Eugenio Kalani, an audio commentary with Eugenio Kalani, Troy Howarth and Nathaniel Thompson
all together, and then a booklet which includes a whole array of essays and
interviews. There's gonna be a poster and a photo gallery, and then the
Outsider is gonna be on this a very special one hour documentary on the career
of Antonio Margheriti. All right, this is a hell of a first release.
I was just singing Antonio's praise as a few minutes ago. So this
is great. So we get Hark of the Sun God and the Last on
a Hunter. Unfortunately no release date for this yet, but hopefully something great
comes out soon. Yeah. Well, not really an announcement, however,
I moved my merch store. If you are interested in buying a shirt or
anything like that, you know what perfect time I'm gonna share. These are
super high quality. I've got some of the stickers ready to go. I've
got a couple versions of it that I usually send one to my winning patron
every single month when they get pulled for the raffle. I even got my
kid a new shirt, and then I got for myself this is really nice
blue shirt. Or wait no, I think this is the one I got
for my wife and includes says it's time for some real talk. Actually pretty
high quality. Anyways, let's get back to the good stuff just thrown out
out there if you're interested. Links in the description below. Another seven announcements.
I miss you hugs and kisses. Somehow this was on the Video Nasty
List and now we are getting this on Black Friday. This will also include
recommendations for Mercy from nineteen seventy five. This is from Murray Markowitz comes the
shocking drama inspired by one of Canada's most infamous homicides. When a former model
is brutally murdered, Her wealthy husband is arrested for the slaying, but the
trial that follows will uncover a lurid saga of illicit lovers, escapes, serial
killers, a scorching performance by Summer, and enough graphic mayhem to merit its
condemnation as a video. Nasty Chuck Shamada and five time Canadian heavyweight champion George
Shuvalo co star in this nineteen seventy eight canuxploitation rarity, also known as Lefper
Dead and Drop Dead Dearest, featuring the debut score by three time Oscar winner
Howard Shore, who did the Lord of the Rings. Now scanned in two
K from the National Archives only known thirty five millimeter print. It's surprising that
Severn decided to highlight Shor's score for Lord of the Rings rather than all of
the scores he did for David Cronenberg, given that this is a knuxploitation movie.
But that's a minor quibb. I'm very interested in hearing Howard Shore's first
score. I love this stuff, especially the Cronenberg films, but also the
collaboration, didn't I think they did that for the Oscar side of things.
Yeah, this looks cool. I've never seen this. Pretty excited Doe.
Two commentaries cool. Yeah, we get a commentary for each film. We
got an interview with Murray Markowitz, interview with Donald Pilon, film programmer Eric
Peretti on the Demeter case and I miss you hugs and kisses, then on
the second one recommendation for Mercy. There's also an alternate commentary with film writer
Kila Janice in conversation with director Murray Markowitz, an interview with actress Michelle Fancette,
and then the original Canadian release ending this to me, especially if you're
trying to beef up your video nasty collection, just like David from Seven Films,
you're pretty much gonna have to pick this one up. And it sounds
pretty damn good. And not to mention, I love the artwork on this.
Yeah, it's really good. Even this is appealing for a couple of
reasons. We'll go to the next one. Keena Lober announced on January seventeenth
they are putting out Programmed to Kill from nineteen eighty seven. This gets a
new audio commentary by the director Alan Holtzman, moderated by Douglas Hasdale. There's
a new interview with screenwriter Robert Short, an alternate opening title credit, and
reversible art which they don't always get rights to, so I'm glad they are
getting it on this one. Love sandel Bergman great. I remember seeing this
on gosh. I don't know if it was up all night that sounds right,
yeah, or cinemats or something like that when I was a kid,
and it's fun. Somebody couch it posted here. Seven posted an interesting update.
We're gonna talk about that as long as it's the same update that I'm
thinking of, unless there was something since then I'll look at that in just
a moment. But Monto micabro, that sale is live, still is live.
Go ahead and spend your hard earned money. Then we got some Shout
Factory announcements, which is a really interesting month for them. I am kind
of surprised and also not surprised, but we're gonna talk about it. January
twenty fourth, they're putting out the Jackie Chan Collection, Volume one from nineteen
seventy six to nineteen eighty two. We don't have any special features listed for
this yet, so it could have everything from the eight eight film's releases.
It could have nothing, it could have more, it could have less rites
with special features or kind of finicky sometimes, so we shall see what the
film's on. Here. We get the Killer Meteors, Shalllin, Wooden Men
to Kill with Intrigue, Snake and Crane, Arts of Shaolin, Dragonfist,
Battle Creek Brawl, and Dragon Lord. That's great. What what are you
thinking about, Jackie Chan? Well, I've seen Battle Creek Brawl, I've
seen Snake in the Crane, Art of Shout Sheldon, and I've seen Killer
Metius, and all of those were pretty entertaining. Love Jackie Chan. I
mean, who who hates Jackie Chan. It's a good point. I've never
met his enemies, right, yeah, I've never. If I ever do
meet someone who hates Jackie Chan, I'll meet someone who hates life itself.
That's true. So this is a no brainer. I think the thing that
excites me most about this is the volume one because and especially if this is
going to be early career stuff, which I think we were talking about a
little bit last time too. How so much of his early career when he
was kind of finding his persona hasn't been really seen in America. So I'm
excited about all days, especially once I've not seen before. I have a
feeling that they're going to get the rights to all of the same ones that
eighty eight Films put out, and I'm just hoping that they get the rights
to all of the special features too, because that would make these kind of
a must buy at the price that they're putting it out, at least,
because I think this is like eighty bucks or ninety bucks right now, and
for how many films are on this, that is a shockingly good price for
Shout Factory. And this does come with the poster, I believe, I
think so. I'd have to check the website again, but yes, this
as a volume one. It would not surprise me if the Volume two is
just more of what eighty eight Films put out previously. But that's not all
they announced. They announced Freaky with Vince Vaughan on four K. This is
coming on January twenty fourth. Now this is kind of a half of one
and fifty percent of another type of update for me. I genuinely really liked
this film. Did you see this one? I actually did. It must
have been streaming. I don't know why. Oh I do know why,
because she's in Supernatural Catherine Newton. Is that? Is that where I know
he're from? And I feel yeah, I think, yeah, I must
have watched that with my oldest daughter, because we watched every single episode Supernatural
and then like everything we've could found with the actors. So anyway, who
cares, Yes, I've seen it. It was yeah, I you know,
Vince Vaughn's funny, he is. He kind of kills this role.
I think he just did. Yeah, watching him pretend to be what a
sixteen year old girl, it's funny. John said. She is in the
upcoming ant Man film as well. Yeah, yeah, yeah, she's the
one that screws everything up and sums them into the I saw the trailer.
So the downside to this, which I'm happy we're getting this in four K,
but the downside there's no new special features compared to the Blu ray that's
already been released, and it's also not a collector's edition, so it's just
gonna be in a four K case for those that really like the packaging aspect.
There's no poster, no slipcover, no collector's edition branding, nothing like
that, just a four K case and the disc. It is also,
which is different than I believe the Happy Death Day films only had the four
K disc. This one has the four K in the Blu Ray, so
for anybody looking to upgrade eventually, that is a selling point. However,
the Blu Ray has been available for years since this came out, So yeah,
this is one that's not a huge jump off the seat to pre order
one for a lot of people, I'm assuming, but perhaps even more disappointing
for a lot of people. We're also getting Ouiji from twenty fourteen on four
K, and just like the other one, there is no collector's edition branding
for this, no slipcover. I don't think we're getting a poster for this.
It does say there's reversible art on it and that there are extras in
progress. But the big thing everybody hates this movie. This is a really
weird choice. I feel like they got this in freaky in a deal with
Happy Death Day and they had to put them out or they'd be losing money.
But the only one that people really want of this is the sequel,
because the sequel's genuinely really good. This one is genuinely really bad. This
is just a really not well made movie at all. I always think it's
funny when movies are advertised as being from the producer of that'd be a guarantee
of anything. Somebody had money and also funded this one. Come on,
but let's keep going with some odd Shout Factory things. They're also putting out
Wrath of Man on four K with Chason Statham. This one is not gonna
be Shout Select, not Screen Factory, just a regular Shout Factory four K
title, which is kind of odd on something like this. Interesting. It
does not say extras are in progress, does not say Collector's edition. Not
gonna be anything special on this one. Probably then like hours later, they
announced all of those early in the morning, and then this one got announced
later that night. Donna the Dead from two thousand and four is coming out
on four K. This one has all of the features already printed up on
here. There seems to be nothing new on this disc. This is the
Zack Snyder film Donovan Dead, with no new special features. I like this
movie a lot, I really do. But yet again, this is another
four K upgrade that a lot of people are just really against Shout Factory for
doing. And I don't know what's going on, but I feel like they
need to be peppering in more new titles. And that doesn't mean, you
know, new to them that Lionsgate already put out. It means new to
disc or new to four K or something that would be nice for sure.
Yeah, these are these are awesome passes for me. You know, It's
it's hard. I really really love Jason Statham watching the movies in I have
no explanation for it. I just do. But I don't like Guy Richie.
I don't like Guyrici's movies. They're not for me. There's somebody's favorite
movie, but they're not for me. And I really reallyrenetic. I get
that. I really really love Sarah Polly. I think she's a great actress
and an even better director, but I really don't like sexy. This one
is probably my favorite Zack Snyder movie, no doubt, due to Sarah Polly
and the script by James Gunn is not bad. But I don't need to
see it again. I genuinely really like this movie, and I'm glad that
they're gonna have it out there on four K. But I just hope Shout
Factory themselves come back, because this isn't even their most odd decision of the
month. We're gonna talk about that one in just a moment, but first
let's talk about this. We got some details Keto upgrading their Blu Ray release
of The Italian Job to a four K disc. This is coming on January
thirty first, on four K and a standalone Blu Ray disc. This is
going to have a new HDR Dolby Vision Master by Paramount from a four K
scan of the thirty five. There's an audio commentary by the screenwriter Troy Kennedy
Martin and Matthew Field, the author of the Making of The Italian Job.
Another audio commentary by producer Michael Deeley and Matthew Field, the author of Michael
Caine, You're a Big Man. Then on the Blu Ray we had some
other stuff. We got a two thousand and two documentary two thousand and two
making of another documentary from two thousand and two called Get a Bloom and Move
On, a featurette called Mini Adventures from two thousand and nine and then deleted
scenes with optional audio commentary by Matthew Fields. Lots of stuff coming on this
one. This looks like a great release and we even got the original poster
art on here, which I am stoked about. Love this iconic poster.
The Italian Job. Yeah, that's a fun movie. I definitely prefer the
original to the Marky Mark remake. But the market Mark remake wasn't terrible,
but this this is fun. I mean this era of heist movies was so
fun. Oh yeah, So yeah, I'm definitely gonna dig into The Italian
Job. Plus this era of Michael Cakay, he was just incredible back then.
I did want to point out Chris says Mondo Witch's Red Case is still
available. Just placed an order, so for anybody still wanting it, jump
on there for sure. All Right, we got confirmation Terrifier two coming to
a four K exclusively through best Buy on December twenty seventh. You can order
this now. We talked about this a little bit earlier. Good, not
great in my opinion, but if you're really wanting the four K, you
gotta go to best Buy. Before we go into the partner labels, like,
really odd that they're fragmenting this release. So we have a steel book
coming exclusive to Walmart, a four K coming exclusive to best Buy, and
a special addition coming exclusive to Amazon, all three with different special features.
So if you want a four K steel book release of Terrifier two with all
of the special features, you buy three different versions. I'm trying to wrap
my head around like Walmart shoppers being like, oh, Terrifier too, But
maybe I'm just out of the loop. Keep in mind, this is a
Walmart exclusive for a store that could not print a slipcover with the words Satanic
panic on it for the movie that released a few years ago and they had
to call it just panic, and they're releasing an exclusive Terrifier to release.
Okay, this is an interesting one. Yeah. I remember back in the
day going to Walmart to buy a sea but they were all editing and so
I quit quitting anything moment. Okay, well, go get it, y'all,
go get all of them. Let's get into some partner label announcements.
Huh oh yeah, these great. We've got eleven of them this month,
and uh, I gotta admit I'm a little whelmed this month it's certainly not
underwhelmed, certainly not overwhelmed. But it's just a it's just a month.
Uh. This one the first one up Big World Pictures is putting out distant
from two thousand and two. This is one. However, this sounds freaking
amazing. Not to mention, I really love this art on here, really
nice watercolor art. My Moot is a relatively successful commercial photographer who has been
struggling to come to terms with the growing gap between his artistic ideals and his
professional obligations. His tedious workload, coupled with the lingering loss he still feels
for his ex wife, newly married and on the verge of leaving Istanbul for
Canada, leaves Mamut cleaning to the melancholic and obsessive routines of his solitary life.
Without warning, Mamut's distant relative Yusuf, arrives in Istanbul, determined to
find a job aboard a ship so that he may fulfill his dream of traveling
around the world. In need of a place to stay as he searches for
work, Yusuf imposes himself on who resents the sudden intrusion, but nonetheless feels
obligated to help his family. It doesn't take long for Yusuf to discover that
the work he is looking for isn't available, but he manages to prolong his
stay with Mamout by formulating stories that would suggest otherwise. His hope waning,
Yusuf resorts to spending his days drifting through the streets of Istanbul, slowly coming
to realization that without work, he may soon need to return home. Mamut
tries to help him by offering him a job as his assistant during a photography
shoot, but the fixes temporary. As the two men struggle to make a
connection, communication is slowly reduced to the bare minimum, and their time together
must come to an end. This is going to have a making of a
film's reception at can coverage, a video essay and some subtitles. Not a
super loaded disc, but it's supposed to be pretty damn good. That descriptions
chock full of spoilers, it really is. You know what I really appreciate
about these partner releases. You know, when I first threw away you know,
my my actual life and immersed it into cinema, I learned everything I
could about pretty much every country's film industry from about nineteen thirty to nineteen eighty
or so. But then then I, you know, got kids and stuff
like that, and so there are these huge gaps in world cinema for me,
and a lot of these partner titles are filling in points in time that
I just have no aware. So I'm excited to see this. Yeah,
this one is one of the ones that sounded really good to me, even
though now it feels like I know the entire film. Yeah, this might
be one of the most striking pieces of art. On a slipcover from ocn
Ever love the way this looks. Both sides of this one. This one
is from Altered Innocence and it's pronounced excuse me. Alisa from nineteen ninety five.
Vanessa Paradis from Knife plus Heart stars as the alienated and angry Marie,
living as a smart, alec teenage street hustler burdened by the rage brought upon
by the suicide of her emotionally fragile mother. The titular Elisa is played by
Florence Thomason. Marie fury inspires her to track down and kill the man who
abandoned her and her mother in the first place. Her father, Jacques played
by iconic French superstar Gerard des Pardu. What unfolds is a poignant and desperate
plea for tolerance and acceptance, where tragedy and angst can unwind and be replaced
by forgiveness and love. See that is that is a much better way to
write a synopsis as compared to the last one. Well, how are you
thinking about this one? The fact that Gerard Depardeau is an iconic French superstar
has always been inexplicable to me. I've never understood the appeal. Nevertheless,
I am yes, I believe it is. So. There's all kinds of
cancelation issues with this film contextual, but I mean I feel like I have
to see it just because of that cover. Frankly, this is a truly
shockingly beautiful slipcover. Yeah, and I normally don't get like that of her
slipcovers, but this is amazing. This is one. I am shocked we
don't have a print of this available. I probably would have done it.
I imagine this is a print without the title on there. Yeah, yeah,
that's really cool. If only even the back is decent. It's not
better, but it's decent. Next up, we got a little bit of
censorship we can get from AGFA Doris Wishman, The Daylight Years. This is
the final box that is coming from AGFA for Doris Wishman. This includes Nude
on the Moon, Blaze Star Goes, Nudist, hide Out in the Sun,
Gentlemen Prefer Nature Girls, Diary of a Nudist, the Prince and the
Nature Girl, and of course this is coming with the magnetized hard box that
you can use to connect all three together and uh aka, just bringing the
heat with Doris Wishman. And now I believe OCN has put out everything that
has come out from Doris Wishman that still survives today. Yeah, that's and
that's twenty some movies total. That's just amazing. The key text in this
set, of course is Nude on the Moon, which Wishman biographer Michael Bowen
interpreted as a expression of Wishman's grief over the sudden passing of her husband,
which is what led to her becoming a filmmaker in the first place. And
I highly recommend reading any essay Michael Bowen has written about the Wishman because because
they're great. Oh, it does comment to great so he'll probably talk about
it. Yeah, I've already put in my order for this. I love
Wishman in this set. I really like Diary of a Nudist. It's fun.
Hide Out in the Sun is fun. I haven't seen Prince on the
Nature Girl, so that'd be cool. She's not for everyone, but everyone
everyone should see at least one Doris Wishman film. I want to point out
too. On Newt on the Moon, the commentary is done by Frank Hennen
latter and Anthony Snead. Yes, that's great, Uh, Terry. I
think what they were alluding to was the double feature Peakarama title that that Vinegar
Syndrome put out. Yeah, so I don't think there's anything else that is
coming from Wishman. I could be wrong, but I don't think there's anything
else. Let's see. There's also some other commentaries on here. It's not
the only one with the commentary. We've got also on top of all that,
a booklet with writing from Something Weird's Lisa Petrucci, an invintage Dorish Wishman
interview. Fantastic. I could not be more pleased. This one looks surprisingly
good to me. Saturn's Core audio and videos putting out the good book from
nineteen ninety seven, and this one reminds me about really really closely about one
of the films they put out earlier this year that I loved. This one
says in the near future, the world's population is forced to stay confined in
their homes at all times. I've never heard of anything like that. Due
to the depleting ozone layer, those that venture outdoors quickly devolve into zombie like
mutants outsiders. The GVC Agency provides all complying citizens with their communication and entertainment
needs through its government regulated Internet. Joseph Cyrus is a door to door PC
repairman forced to brave the perils of the outside world in order to keep his
GVC clients fully connected. During his travels, Joseph soon begins seeing visions of
a godlike being that urges him to destroy the Internet using a homemade virus.
Is Joseph losing a sanity, serving the whims of a higher power or being
tricked by the world's greatest trickster? How much have you gotten into Saturage course
so far? You know, I really got I started watching Saturne course stuff
after seeing your interview with what's the name of the guy? I escaped Ross
Schneider. Yes, I thought that was a great interview and he was a
really interesting cat, and I was like, Okay, I'll check out some
of these titles. And I watched like what's the one, What's the one
about the Indigenous spirit Savage Harvest, which was kind of fun. And I
just picked up several titles because Vinegar Syndrome did a spotlight sale a couple months
ago. So I'm I'm I am trying very hard to immerse myself into genre
that I've never been super into, although I did like I like titles like
Cannibal Hooker's Cannibal camp Out. I remember watching them on VHS back in the
day. So yeah, I'm slowly becoming a fan of a lot of SOOV
stuff. You just kind of got to be in the mood. Sometimes if
you're not, it can really put you off. But if you're in the
right mood and just want to hang out and absorb it, it a lot
of it can be really good. Yeah, this one looked good, not
to mention. Loaded with special features, This has a audio commentary with writer,
director Matthew Giacinto and writer producer Barry Gersden. Feature length documentary chronicling the
complete history of the Good Book and Drop Dead Films, featuring the director,
writer Barry Gersden, special effects artist Paul J. Mason, and Fred Kramer,
with some actors and more. You've got a full original excerpt from the
Drop Dead Film's trailer Vault. You've got behind the scenes production stills, a
CGI animated trailer for Riety, Barry Gersdon's debut novel, The Day I Met
My Mother, a short film by Matthew Gcino from nineteen ninety five with commentary,
another short film from two thousand and two, and then another short film
from two thousand and two. There's just a lot of stuff on all of
these, and I'm so glad they make it really worth the purchase. Yeah,
I think that's really valuable preservation. And you know, I myself wrote
and didn't quite finish shooting an SMV movie that remains my great unfinished opus.
So I feel a kinship and an appreciation for those who actually finished their movies.
Good, very good. I did want to highlight this comment in the
chat Dead Sea Life says, I have it on good authority that AGPO will
be releasing some version of the Old Something Weird video DVD of Monsters Crash the
Pajama Party Spook Show Spectacular. I thought it would have been announced by Halloween,
but I think it's still coming. Interesting. Next up one that made
a lot of people happy this got announced. This is I Think We're Alone
Now, coming from Enjoy the Ride Records. This is from two thousand and
eight, and it's a feature documentary that is an intimate portrait of two people
who are deeply in love with the eighties pop singer Tiffany. Will give me
your hot take on Tiffany, Well, I was definitely a Debbie Gibson person,
but check. But I am. I am just the right age for
Debbie and Tiffany to be a big part of my adolescence. I have read
about, but never seen this documentary, so I'm quite interested in watching it.
And you know, Tiffany has an interesting life story herself, so I'm
quite intrigued to to learn about this story. I don't know that sounds cryptic.
I guess I don't want to. I don't want to sound like I'm
a Tiffany stalker. We found him, He's over there, Get him.
Stan Geeze says he must see your movie. Will Oh Yeah, it's called
Quaker College Massacre, and it is unfinished. But the scenes that I did
shoot are pretty funny. Now I'm dying to see it. This Tiffany movie
is loaded with the extras. Got a lot of stuff on here. Enjoy
the ride Quietly. One of the better partner labels for some of these documentaries,
and I'm very intrigued by this one for sure. Dark Star Pictures announced
The Icarus Line Must Die. Here is both sides of the slip. This
one says it is a dramatic narrative feature set against the backdrop of the current
LA underground music scene. The film tracks Joe Carterman, the frontman of notorious
punk band the Icarus Line, as he navigates his way through the ups and
downs of the modern music landscape. With a new record completed and a major
label deal within sight, Joe fights to keep his band, his relationship,
and his life from completely falling apart. This is from twenty seventeen. We
got an audio commentary, two of them. Actually, we got an unreleased
seen unreleased concert footage and then an essay from critic as Hamra tour photographs of
the early days of the Icarus Line. I mean I love a lot of
these movie films. Yeah, and Keith Morris is that that's cool. We'll
definitely check that out. I like your I am into it. Yeah.
Next up, we got Jane by Charlotte coming from Utopia. This is about
Charlotte Gainsburg looks at her mother, Jane Burkin, in a way she never
did, overcoming a sense of reserve. Using a camera lens, they exposed
themselves to each other begin to step back, leaving space for a mother daughter
relationship just quietly. Another great release from Utopia. One of their really art
housey documentaries that are just amazing to step into if you don't know anything about
the story and learn from it. One of the cool things. They've got
a Q and A on here with Jim Jarmouche and Charlotte Gainsburg from the Quad
Cinema, and then another Q and A with Charlie Gainsburg from the New York
Film Festival. And there is a booklet with an essay by Heather Draine in
this one. Heather drained like stepping up doing a lot of some really cool
stuff on these releases lately. Okay, this is one that a lot of
people got their attention peaked a little bit. This is Mind, Body,
and Soul, coming from Culture Shock releasing from nineteen ninety two. Here is
the back of this slip. This one stars ginger Linn Allen, wings Hauser,
and Jay Richardson. All Brenda wants is a normal life with a normal
boyfriend, but she soon finds it her boyfriend is anything but normal. He's
part of a satanic cult that makes human sacrifices because that's what you do.
A police interrupted ritual at the Colt's demonic temple lands Brenda in jail. Upon
release, she has to pick up the pieces of her shattered life with the
help of a protective lawyer, a hearted detective, and her old sell me.
But the cult hasn't forgotten Brenda, and they will stop in nothing to
silence her forever. We had a full length commentary from Rick Sloan on this
one, an archival interview with Sloan, and then archival interview with Gingerlyn Allen,
with a new interview with the art director Mark A. Richardson, how
do you feel about Rick Sloan. I've already ordered this. I love Wingshuser.
In fact, last week I taught another vinegar syndrome release Pale Blood,
which wing Wing's House acts the hell out of that one. Love Love wings
Hauser and Ginger Lynn Allan. She's a pretty good actress, and I think
her past as an adult film attress kind of obscures her her other talents,
you know. And so I think she's a pretty good you know, She's
in several action and horror films throughout the years, and I'm excited to see
this one. I didn't even have to. As soon as I saw Wingshouser
in Ginger len Al and I was like, I done get in this.
I'm a I'm kind of surprised we didn't get a new interview with Ginger.
I feel like she would have loved to talk about this. Yeah, well
take what we can get, I guess. But yeah, that doesn't Well,
we got another mind movie to talk about. We have Minefield coming from
Canadian International Pictures. This is from nineteen eighty nine, featuring Michael Ironside and
Christopher Plummer. Hell of a cast in this one. Have you seen this
one before? Yes, this is one that I saw in the video store
days and I'm very excited to see what it actually looks like when the picture
is not so yeah, yeah, this is this is prime Ironside years,
so I'm very pleased. I likely sa Langloy from last nineteen eighty four of
them soon. Yeah, so this is a definite, definite on my list.
One of the cool paragraphs here. Made by a supergroup of Canadian genre
filmmakers, including George Mahalka who did My Bloody Valentine, and Tom Barry,
who did The Amineville Curse. They joined forces to develop the script with novelist
William Deverell. Minefield was eventually brought to the screen by can exploitation master Jean
Claude Lord, who did The Vindicator. This one as an audio commentary featuring
Paul Krup of can Exploitation dot Com and film historian Jason Pachonsky. We've got
a twelve minute interview with the original director. We've got an interview with producer
Tom Barry, interview with actress Lisa Langloy. Lisa also reflects on twelve memorable
collaborations, and then a booklet with a tribute to Jean Claude Lord by Fantasia
programmer Mark Lamath. I mean this seems like a great, great release.
Yeah, Uh, Canny is putting out Sellout from two thousand and eight.
This one sounds incredibly interesting to me. Phony Corporation has just promoted dough eed.
Eric Tanned a head of product excuse me, product design, and he's
already invented a revolutionary eight and one soybean machine. Taste the silken tofu,
the creamy soy milk, the crispy bean curd. It just has one reprehensible
flaw no flaws. The lack of a built in breakdown mechanism appalls the conglomerates
two man executive branch who resorts to a budget exorcism to solve their problem,
named Eric. Also under the axis, Phony TV eleven's Ruth host reflesher I
think that's how you say a crazy name. Refleshapong, whose specialty arts program
is overshadowed by an increasingly popular art form, reality TV. Determined to claw
her way back to the top, she lands on a morbid concept that finds
an ally in the divided product. Designer Yeah Jun Han's long unavailable musical Sellout
is presented here in both its venice and director's cut, alongside the original soundtrack
of Earworm musical Numbers. In contrast to the realist new wave films of his
contemporaries. Yo presents a wildly funny, fantastical satire of cosmopolitan Kuala Lumpour.
Here is the back of the slip. This one's got the director's cut,
which is one hundred and eleven minutes, the Venice cut, which is one
hundred and seven. We got some archival interviews, we got some new interviews.
But the cool thing. We got a cast commentary. We got a
video essay by Andy Darryl Gomes, We got a booklet with an essay by
Kong Riff and some photos. They also have the original soundtrack CD. And
this is a musical, so this is kind of a wild release. This
is sort of a rarity in all of the partner labels and Ocean as a
whole. We don't really get audio CDs that often. Yeah, well,
I don't want to get too political or anything, but it seems like there's
some social commentary in this one. I would be remiss if I had to
argue with you there. I have no knowledge of this whatsoever, so I'm
particularly interested in see internet. It's always interesting to me when I know nothing
about one of these and it immediately goes for all of my heartstrings and perfectly
fits my interest. So yeah, I cannot wait to see this. The
last one of the month, White Reindeer is coming from Factory twenty five.
Suzanne, a successful realtor living in the suburbs of Washington, DC with their
weatherman husband Jeff, is on top of the world as she prepares for Christmas,
her favorite time of year. Things take a turn, however, when
she comes home one day to find her husband brutally murdered. To cope with
their overwhelming grief, Suzanne takes off from work at the suggestion of her colleagues,
and the ensuing day, she tracks down a young stripper named Fantasia,
with whom Jeff had a long term relationship, and the two begin to bond
over their mutual loss. Through her relationship with Fantasia, Suzanne begins to cut
loose, joining the stripper on escapades of drugs, clubbing, and shoplifting.
This one is from twenty thirteen and stars Anna Margaret Hollyman, Laura Lamar Goldsboro,
and Fernanda Tapia. We got a cast and crew commentary, deleted scenes
an Endless Fireplace, which kind of awesome short film practical uses for major works
of modern cinema, the original uncensored trailer and a booklet. What do you
think about White Reindeer? Well, this looks like a good Christmas movie to
me. Yeah, I don't know anything about it. That description sounds like
something I would be very interested in seeing, and so that's what I'm gonna
do. I have no compelling comments to make of them. Done, the
answer is to purchase it. Coming on January tenth, from Magnolia, we
are getting Piggy, a film that quite a few in the chat I believe
have started to be seeing. Finally, this is a modern film came out
there during this year, and it is tough film. Supposedly during the weltering
summertime of rural Spain, Sarah Carrey's an extra load of teenage agony due to
the perpetual bullying from her peers about her weight. She's also an outsider at
home. Her parents and little brother just don't understand her, so feelings internalized.
She's often found buried in her headphones, drowning out our surroundings. One
day, her usual solo dip at the local pool is disrupted by the presence
of a mysterio stranger in the water and an exceptionally grueling bout of abuse at
the hands of three girls, but in a strange twist of fates, along
the way home, she witnesses her bloody tormentors being kidnapped in the back of
the stranger's vand yes, okay, good double feature with Welcome to the Dollhouse
if you want to just like really be sad for a little while. Wow,
John says it is out now on VOD if you want to watch it
now. It is mostly a film about bullying, and KB says kind of
quick considering we were standing in front of the coming soon poster together just a
month ago. Yeah, but thankfully it's not coming on Blue till January tenth,
so we got a little more time. But yeah, it's It's interesting
to see it announced so quickly. I'm eager to see this one, especially
as a fat guy myself. Next up, Remains of the Day featuring Anthony
Hopkins than Emma Thompson, is getting a four K release on February twenty first,
this is coming from Sony Pictures Classics. No new features or anything like
that, but it does come with an audio commentary with the director and a
producer and actress Emma Thompson. There's also a Making of the Remains of the
Day featurette, the Filmmaker's Journey featurette, and then England's Fatal Flaw featurette with
some deleted scenes in tow I've never seen Remains of the Day. Have you
seen this one? This is You know, I'm not a big James Ivory
fan. A lot a lot of his films just kind of leave me cold.
This movie, explicably, I just love it moves me. One of
the first kind of period drama movies I ever saw that I just really got
into. It's right up there with Age of Innocence for me as far as
interesting this style of movie. And you know, I've never read the novel,
but but yeah, there are some moments in this movie where I am
Anthony Hopkins, you know, inability to express himself. I'm like, yeah,
I get it even when I was a teenager like this guy knows what
I'm talking about. It is. It's really good, I and and it's
quite gorgeous. So I'm even without additional features, I would definitely be tempted
to upgrade my My Blue Ry edition, which I just got like last year,
because of course, next up. Speaking of great movies that I actually
really like. Coming on January seventeenth, Paramount Presents is releasing Double Jeopardy on
four K and Blue Rats. This is a really good little thriller. Tommy
Lee Jones's greatness. Ashley Judd is also pretty pretty damn good of this really
interesting movie. It's a nineties box office hit and fan favorite, coming to
Paramount Presents for the first time in four K with HDR ten and Dolby Vision.
Ashley Judg shines as an innocent wife convicted of murdering her husband, only
to find out that he staged his own death. Tommy Lee Jones is the
pro officer hot on her trail after she skips down to find the man who
framed her. Full of twist and turns, it delivers more than a double
dose of suspense and action. Yeah. Bruce Beresford has had the weirdest career
in my opinion. Australian director best known for Like Breaker Morant, Tender but
then you Know, comes to America, makes tender Mercies, but also makes
Driving This Daisy, which has not and you know one of the so I
remember seeing Double Jeopardy, The dreaded Bruce Greenwood. I remember seeing Double Jeopardy,
but I don't think I don't think I know the difference between it and
like, Along Came a Spider right now, Like if you put in either
one of them, I would not know which one was which. So I
definitely need to see Double Jeopardy again. And now that you say that,
I can't remember Long Came a Spider even though I know that I've seen it,
So that makes sense. John Peter says, speaking of Anthony Hopkins,
where's magic on Blu Ray? My answer is right here here, I got
it from the second site. Uh. Next up, Cloverfield is coming in
a four K steel book. This is coming direct from the studio. No
new features on this, but a fancy can steel book. Actually, I
really like this movie. What do you think of Cloverfield? Well, I
guess the steel book will be the only thing stable about it. All I
can remember about Cloverfield is how much you know? And I found footage You're
going to have a shaky camp. God damn, this one is bad.
Tough to watch for me. You know, some people thought it was genius.
Well, not only is the camera un stable, it also features TJ.
Miller right right, right, a guy who was occasionally a bit funny,
but the more you see him, the more difficult it is to la.
It was pretty decent and underwater, but that was before he lost the
ship. So yeah, yeah, yeah, that's really really cool packaging.
Yeah, and that's about the end of that story. Glorious The Glory Whole
Film from Rebecca mckendrey. This is coming to Blu Ray on January twenty fourth
from R L J E. And I'm sure there will be at least a
couple of extras on here, but they have not been announced yet. Great
did you see it? I have not seen it. This one, for
some reason, didn't really appeal to me. I've never loved Rebecca mckendrey's filmmaking.
I just don't know that the voice of JK. Simmons as a Glory
Whole monster can really make me want to see this. Listen to what you
just said. I had no idea that I had no idea with JK.
Simmons, so I watched it on shutter and I was very resistant, you
know, I you know, I was like, how am ninety minutes out
of it? John didn't like it? I see, I didn't love all
of it. But I liked it a lot more than I thought the well,
I don't want to spoil anything. Some parts of this story I was
like, ah, come on, and the fact that I was willing to
accept a gloryhole, a cosmic gloryhole monster, but not aspects of the narrative
says this. This I can go with. The thatch just doesn't make any
sense. Nevertheless, you know, all respect to John, I can definitely
see people not liking it. I I did. I enjoyed it. I
enjoyed it. I would I would probably see it again. There are a
lot of weird sentences that have been said on the show, and that whole
thing there might have taken the cake as one of the better ones. Let's
keep going. I only got a few left, so this is the one
I alluded to earlier. Is one of the most odd choices for Scream Factory.
First off, I don't know how they were doing their their releases this
time. They had some releases come out on Monday, some come out Monday
night, and then out of nowhere, this got announced on Tuesday, even
though the Amazon pre order had been up since Sunday, a timeline that I
can't really hold on to. They're putting out They Live Again on four K,
No new features, exact same disc and all that, but they're giving
it a steel book and one of these enamel pin sets that some people love
and some people really hate. First off, very weird that they didn't do
this at the same time as the four K release that was just last year,
which I which I picked up. And so I'm not going to do
this. I would have you know, I don't. I'm not. I'm
not necessarily charmed by Chotchkes, although severing gets me a lot of times.
But uh but yeah, that's annoying, you know. You know, I
just shelled out for the four K they they Live in now and know you
have to I'm not. I'm not doing it again, you know. Yeah.
Yeah, And this is a film that's been released like this is almost
getting to Halloween and Evil Dead type numbers. This, this movie has come
out so many times. And I'll say this, you know, Stan just
said not a popular take, but he's not a huge fan. They Live.
I like They Live, but I don't like it as much as the
people who love They Live like There are so many other John Carpenter movies I
like that or big Trouble a Little China, for example, that that don't
get the same kind of attention for some reason. I love the message,
and they live way more than the movie they live. Yeah, I think
it's strongly middle tier for Carpenter. Yeah, yeah, that's exactly what I'll
say if you If you say, hey, well, you can only watch
one rowdy Roddy Piper movie for the rest of your life. I'm getting Hell
comes to Frogtown's got to say the same. You better not say they live
over Hell comes to Frogtown way, But I do like that, so don't
come at me by consumed. Yeah great, speaking of if you really love
they live in my merch store, I've got a shirt that says they lived,
they laughed, they love. I'm just kidding. It says they live,
they obey, they consume. Anyways, Peter Falk is getting a four
film collection from Milk Creek on January thirty first, as The Cheap Detective,
Big Trouble, Happy New Year, and Love. I myself have never gotten
into Peter Falk, have you, well, Princess Bride, you know I
like listen, listen, listen. It's it's good. The fans have sort
of ruined it for me. Yeah, well, I've never really spoken with
anyone about the Princess Bride other than my kids, and maybe your kids hate
you for that. I'm just kidding I in this sense, I've only seen
The Cheap Detective, which is which is pretty good. I've never I've never
even I don't think I've ever seen an episode of Colombo, so I'm not
actually super exposed to Peter Falk. I would like to watch an episode of
Columbo at some point, but these other three films I haven't seen, so
i'd be interested in seeing that. Well, now, hold on, let's
not, let's not. Oh yeah, anyways, that's Peter Falk. Oh,
here we go. It's really weird that this is showing up as completely
empty. Uh, Texas chainsaw'm Asker is coming in four K from Dark Sky
Films in the US in twenty twenty three, and we know nothing else.
The sad thing is their Blu Ray release was kind of shit, and I
would not be surprised off the four case from the exact same remaster because they're
not going to pay for any more of it. So we have second sites
coming. I recommend you go a second site. They have a much better
history. They're one that I would trust way before I would trust Dark Sky.
Yeah. I wonder what kind of extras the Dark Sky I had a
pretty cool documentary if I remember correctly, and I'm hoping the second site can
get that. Yeah. Well, yeah, I would say Second site is
probably going to be the definitive. I'm just glad as happened. For sure,
I would agree there. But like we said, it's a good year
for Hooper. Yeah. Coming on January thirty, first from Keno The Aspects,
which there's no way to say that that isn't funny. The Aspects from
nineteen seventy to new audio commentary by novelist and critic Kim Newman and writer editor
Stephen Jones. I feel like I've been saying Kim Newman's name enough recently.
He's normally very busy, but I'm glad to see him still getting work now.
He was busy getting his Aspects. That's enough. I'll leave that title
alone. With that line. That was perfect this one. I don't think
this got like a big announcement, so I wanted to make sure this got
highlighted a little bit. Coming in just five days, we are getting a
four K steel book for Casa Blanca, and it comes with this big special
edition with some art cards, two theatrical posters, the original press book,
letters of transit, three lobby cards, three set of blueprints, and then
an additional extra content disc after the film on four K and blue, which
is pretty dang cool. And it's even got a slipcase over the steel book,
which in the US for studio release, that's pretty rare. And it's
very cheap on Diabolic. It's cheaper at Diabolic than anywhere else. Oh,
that's good to know. It's like fifty two fifty five dollars and everywhere else
it's like sixty sixty five. Yeah, we are getting go ahead. Oh,
it was just nothing needs to be said about Cosamanca. It's it's it's
no. That's exactly why I didn't. It's got too much of a reputation.
Requiem for a Heavyweight with Anthony Quinn and Mickey Rooney and Jackie Gleason and
Julie Harris, that is coming from Mill Creek on January thirty first, and
the moment I said Mill Creek, about fourteen people started crying. So I
understand, h it probably could have been in better hands. However, mill
Creek. It is. Yeah, if you are a fan of boxing movies
and you haven't seen Requiem for a Heavyweight, you have to see Requiem for
a Heavyweight, no matter who's putting it out, so and say that it's
a great, great boxing movie. I will throw out there. I do
believe this is out on a double feature from Umbrella and you can get it
on Deep Discount right now for like nine dollars or eleven dollars something like that.
That is going to be the best way to do that. And it
is region free. Okay, if you were looking to pick up Requiem for
a Heavyweight, head over to Deep Discount, save yourself some money. And
uh the meal creakification of this title, Oh yep, you're correct. I
found it comes with it. That was fast. It's on a double feature
with Humphrey Bogart in The Harder They Fall. Hey nice Mark Robson. Okay,
what's the price on that? Blu ray dot Com has listed Australian dollars
twenty four so oh yeah, I was thinking the Deep Discount. I think
it's it's over here in part of their blowout bargain bin or whatever, so
it's I think it's less than twelve dollars as well. Go. Uh.
Pretty cool announcement today, although we don't have all of the exact details on
this yet. Coming in twenty twenty three on four K from Warner Brothers,
we are getting Superman two, Superman three, and Superman four the Quest for
Peace. The Digital Bits shared the information and said that they are releasing all
three of these on four K. Superman two will include both the original theatrical
version and the Donner cut. However, if you pay attention to the verbiage
there, it does not say that it will include the Donner cut on four
K. However, I would hope with the how they are, you know,
pulling that part out and making it important that they realize people want both
cuts and four K. So hopefully that's the case. We shall see.
Yeah, well, my heart's saying because I went to deep discount dot com
and Requiem for Heavyweight Double Future has sold out. But moving on to Superman,
I'm gonna don't get mad at me. But I never really got into
any of these. I get that I think Superman two is genuinely a masterpiece,
but the rest of them, I can kind of take him or leave
him. I get that. Well, you know what I'm gonna I'm gonna
say something and see if it antagonizes anymore. The reason I don't really get
into him. I don't like Superman. Oh no, I completely understand there.
He's the cyclops of DC. This is so boring. He can do
like he gets a new power whenever he needs one. I don't like it.
Turn back time to see your girlfriend. Come on, that made it,
lewis lame. Anyways. On February seventh, from Keno That Man Bolt
featuring Fred Williamson, we got a nice cover art looking here, we got
that Man Hammer a new interview with Fred Williamson. Funny enough, it seems
like everybody has forgotten that he was problematic on the set of v f W
fairly recently, and everybody's just okay with him. But anyways, Yeah,
Actually, I actually gave a little lecture about the career of Fred the Hammer
Williamson tonight and concluded with with I was I'm such a fan, and but
then I concluded with a picture of him Trump Rally stick from behalf of Donald
Trump. I was like, ah, I'll have to I don't know the
story of b f W. That's that's that's sad to hear because I've always
respected Fred Williamson's uh you know code, you know the rules that he set.
Uh you know, I'll never take a role where I have to dance.
You can't kill me. I wom my fights. My character gets the
world if he wants her. I mean, it's kind of sexist. But
but like, but he refused, he refused to be the sidekick, the
sacrificial character. Uh. And you know Black. The stuff he did with
Larry Cohen, Black Caesar, Hell Up and Harlem Original Gangsters so great.
His his Italian career is so great. I hate to hear. Well,
I hate to know some some things about him that that I don't personally like.
I still I still still love his stuff. That man Bold is a
cool movie. I'm looking forward to see it, seeing it a lot of
great films. Yeah, truly truly great. Grindhouse Video is hosting their Black
November Sale. This will start, I believe tonight at midnight, and they're
gonna have over one thousand titles on sale. There's gonna be a banner at
the top of their website that you can go to, and they're gonna be
limited quantities. So he was giving the example like, if he has one
hundred and fifty on hand, he might only discount fifty of them, so
the first fifty bot will be at the lower price, and then the other
one hundred will be regular price. So if you want it, you're gonna
want to go in there quickly to pick up from Grindhouse. I did not
post yet, but keep in mind tonight also at midnight starts the month lot
well almost month long. It's like three and a half weeks. The Barnes
and Noble Criterion fifty percent off sale starts tonight and that includes everything that releases
in the month of November, which means like Malcolm X on four K will
be reduced in price starting tonight. That includes Wally coming out on four K
at the end of the month as well. You're welcome Grasshopper Film, which
has done a lot of really great Asian releases. They announced a new Classics
label and their first title is going to be The Strange Mister Victor from nineteen
thirty eight. They have not announced any more details on this yet, but
they should be coming fairly soon. They usually don't announce super far ahead of
time, and I would not be I would not be surprised at all if
this was out before, like March. Okay, cool, cool, that
looks I know nothing same. Finally, I wanted to throw this out here
so we could discuss it a little bit. Severn has announced that they are
going to be having a couple bundles that will feature Dario Argento's autobiography entitled Fear,
and then pixel Elixer is creating a Dario or Gento enamel pin as part
of their uh what do they call it? The Hall of Fame for seven
Films their their pins, which means that says to me, we're getting something
from Margento for Black Friday. Well, oh well, oh so it could
be Dark Dreams. Could it be do you like Hitchcock? I really want
that to get release, or could be there are there are a few guesses
going around already, and I think there have been a couple of hints that
people are getting some of these from Uh let me look up the titles real
quick, because I don't remember which one it is specifically, but when I
see it, I will remember. I am so glad that Vinegar Syndrome is
moving its subscriber month from November to January because of January because the Criterion,
the Grindhouse, and the Severn. Holy shit, Yeah, yeah, there's
a lot what we're supposed to do. Of course, now that I'm looking
at the list, I'm not seeing anything he's directed that's ring in the belt.
Does somebody remember what the rumored Dario Argento title is? Let me look
at the ones he's written as well, that might be it. Nope,
nothing is catching my eye. I am not remembering anyways. What what Dario
Argento that we don't have on Blue would you be most excited about? Well,
he's got that movie Cozy Sea Man called Amen, the Western that he
did well, No, he just wrote that. The Five Days of Milan,
that's the one movie he directed that's never been released. As far as
stuff that hasn't been put on Blu Ray Jalloh, which I think is a
lot better than people give it credit for. And do you like Hitchcock,
which I think is really good. Those would be the ones that I would
be most excited about. I believe Five Days of Milan is the one that
was soft announced earlier this year. That's the only one. I think that's
the one that we're going to be getting. Well. Thanks, I hope
you're right. I'm glad you're happy. But yeah, I'm excited on this.
I've got all of the seven Hall of Fame pins and I actually have
them up on this wall where I show them all love that they do,
those love that they are for genuine Hall of Fame people. The autobiography,
I've heard good things about that. It's genuinely great read. Have you read
the autobiography yet? No, but it's on my wish list, and so
now I'll be able to take it off my wish list. Picked Inferno,
it might be coming on four K from Blue Underground. I would not be
surprised if that was coming from Arrow as well eventually, because they also did
the Blue but the big one. I desperately want Opera on four K,
and then of course a lot of people are dying to see four Flies on
Gray Velvet. Yeah. He's one director. I mean, he's one director
that I will upgrade every single title. I'll get The card Player on four
K. I get it. So well, let's go over what is coming
out next week before anybody forgets, just in case this is a pretty big
week. Next week, we're getting Casablanca on four K, Escape from Alcatraz
on four K from Keno, the studio release of Saturday Night Fever on four
K. Vestron's next release of Earth Girls are Easy Power the Dog four K
from Criterion, The I The Jury four K and three D release, which
I think is a really neat set and I might just get it just to
kind of support, but I would love that type of dual format we're getting
La Bounty. I believe this is coming from Keno. Eight Mile coming on
four K. Frasier the Complete Series, which a lot of people are excited
about. Peace Killers. I believe this is coming from Scorpion or Code Red
one of the two, Audrey Rose coming from Arrow, The Aquitine, Forever
Plan, TASM four K releases coming a small town in Texas is getting a
retail release from Scorpion, Transer's four from Full Moon, Transfers five from Full
Moon, a couple more incredible but true coming from Arrow, Bedtime for Bonzo
with Ronald Reagan. Yes that Ronald Reagan coming from Keno, Lost Illusions coming
from Music Box Films, and then Christmas Cruelty from Unearthed Films. That's going
to be a big one for a handful of people. And the last one
I'll throw out there. I love my dad. This is one I believe
leave. This is the one with Yeah, Patton Oswald's film. I am
definitely very interested in that movie, and I need to get that one pre
order. All right, my friend, we did well. That Fraser set
comes with toss salad, but not scrambled eggs. Hard pass. Maybe next
time, maybe when we get a full four KTUs, we'll also get scrambled
eggs. I loved Fraser when I was younger, but I never understood any
of the jokes, and I imagine if I watched it now, I would
either love it and genuinely remember a lot of it, or think it was
just so pretentious that it's terrible. It took me a while to get over.
I was still angry at Fraser's dad for being a bad dad and Say
Anything. I can't remember the actor's name. I was so mad at Rest
in Peace because he's actually dead now, yeah, yeah, yeah. I
think Fraser came out at about the same time that I saw Say Anything for
the first time as a kid, So this guy's an asshole. I am
still so stoked on this Columbia Classic set. Well, we continue to vamp
and talk. I'm gonna get a couple of these out and check them out.
I had, like I was saying, I had no idea that the
sets were so nice. Now I have to go back and look at them
all. I went ahead at the at the Full Moon Videos sale last week
and got all five Transfers movies, including the four K of the first one.
I had a box set of DVDs of the five, and for the
longest time the first four were on Blu Ray, but not number five,
so I couldn't get rid of my DVD set. And currently subspecies is the
same with subspecies there are are except for subspecies for Bloodstorm. So I have
to keep my box set of DVD's until the problems that I face. I
just checked. I only have the first two. I still need to get
three, four and five of Transfers. Yeah, huh, yeah, it's
a good series, you know, Full Moon God bless them. There you
go. I love that they do the same inner art or sorry, different
inner art on all of these. You know, that's that's probably a film
John Houston doesn't didn't think much of. But I just I just love that
there's a film where John Houston directs Tim Curry. True. True. I
feel like a lot of people hated this movie and I really loved as good
as it gets. I'll always I always quote the line Jack Nicholson when when
he's asked, how do you write women so well? And he says,
I think of a man and I take away reason and accountability. The funny
thing is it sounds like something that Jack Nicholson would actually say. Yeah,
I'm not sure it was in the script. It was his only line of
improv. Oh. And the funny thing is I would not doubt that.
Oh, and I totally forgot to share through this, not only all those
you also get a digital copy of all the films as well. Oh wow,
okay, Yeah, that's the kind of thing that can free up some
shelf space because most of the titles that are in these box sets, I've
already got a standalone right And this does have some exclusive features on some of
these, like this one has Let's see the nineteen fifty six remake of It
Happened One Night is also in here n HD newly remastered even and that's got
Jack Lemon in it and June Allison. Man. It's tough to be a
collector. It really is well, we'll, uh we normally talk for like
four hours, and we're only anything special that you wanted to talk about tonight.
Oh man, well, sure you don't want to do Top five Disney
Princesses. We really can if you want to, because I've got them at
the hip ready to go. I don't know, I have trouble. I
have trouble, like some of some of them are so close that I'm not
sure how to ring them. Oh okay, well, I'm a hardcore fan
for Transfers four and five, Top five Transfers films one, two, three,
four, and five in that order. No, I uh, I
you know. I I've been as you have. I've been so busy the
past couple of weeks. It's been it's been hard to really, uh get
my thoughts straight, and so I've just been looking forward to to tonight where
we can just sit down and not even have to make sense, just look
at pictures of movies and be like that's cool, yeah, and hang out.
Yeah. This is kind of a Beavis and butt Head episode of Disconnected.
I just want to know how do you feel about anime? Okay,
not that my opinion matters at all, but I do I like from these
questions. So I do teach a course on anime. It's on the origins
of anime up to the industry shift into digital right, So I go from,
well, now I'm trying to think of the So the first I show
this movie Mama Tara no Omi Washing, which is the first anime film.
It was made in nineteen forty three, and it's very influenced by Disney style,
and it's about these cute anthem pmorphic animals who are on an island and
they're playing and having a good time, and then they get attacked by some
demons, and so they build these little airplane carts, cute airplanes, and
they fly to this island full of demons to fight them. And as you're
watching it as as a as a Westerner, it takes you a little while
to realize, oh, this is a World War two propaganda film, the
Demon Island. It's us. And students really respond to that film because they've,
you know, their knowledge of anime is like what came on, you
know, yesterday, whatever, whatever TV show they're watching right now. They
don't they don't want to know the history. So I'm pretty well versed in
you know, the period, ranging from like Akira through ghosts in the show
and then just scroll Vampire Hunter d those kinds of like touchstones. I really
love a film called Unico and its sequel, Unico in the Island of Magic.
It's really spooky, kids moving. I'm not I'm not super well versed
in a lot of the episodic television, television dragon ball Z. I was
not a big pothead in college, so didn't watch dragon Balls, We're sailor
Moonery, any of that sort of thing. And I'm pretty up on most
studio ghibli stuff. I love making students watch Grave of the Fireflies and weep
in front of in front of each other. So I'm not. I'm not
an expert on anime, but but I can. I can put together a
class that's like a good foundational history of anime, development of style, cultural
export, and so on. Yeah, well, like I know, I
know like twenty titles really well that I like. I do like Cowboy Bebop.
That's the one show. Luckily there's there's only like, however many episodes,
so that one was easy for me to digest. I do like Cawboyle,
So that's my answer. I am it's probably the part of cinema history
I am we well versed in, but I can fake it for like an
intro. If anybody ever wanted to take any of your classes, is it
possible to take those online? Not currently at my primary institution of UNC Greensboro,
but maybe hopefully in the future. I am. I'm looking at maybe
moving soon and not being on campus and hopefully translating some of my courses online.
I know that my cult Film's course will be easy to transfer, and
I think people would like that. So I don't know. Maybe this time
in twenty twenty three. Ask me again next time of them on the show
I'm there, and I might have a different answer. I did much sooner
than twenty twenty three. Yeah, Well, the availability of the courses,
I don't know. I do teach a course for another school on environmental documentaries,
very specific course, but you see some cool stuff. Oh wow,
someone's watching who has no heart? Oh man? Uh, let's uh,
let's talk about something more modern. Are you? Are you staying up to
date on any like modern theatrical releases recently or any that you're super excited for.
I've been trying to wed. I went to see Smile, I think
I might have talked about that last time I was on or maybe not.
I don't know. We saw a smile and I couldn't believe it was that
guy's first feature. I thought it was really well done. Based on the
trailer, I was expecting something else, but it was a really intense portrait
not just of what someone goes through, who's been tum who's got this trauma
hangover, but what the people who take care of the person with the trauma
I have to go through it. I definitely resonated with the ex boyfriend character.
I won't say anything else for people who haven't seen it. The only
other thing I've seen in the theater of this past month was The Lost Boys.
Was was shown a fact that it was great. I've never seen it
in the big screen, and I loved it. So standing up on new
stuff is hard. It's hard. I just wants to know. Have we
seen the trailer for the Wan car Y TV show? I have not.
Oh it is connected to In the Mood for Love in twenty forty six,
Terry. I've heard that Bones and All is incredible. It premiered at I
Believe Fantastic Fest and got some pretty rave reviews from from some people I trust.
Usually, have you gotten a chance to see Barbary? And yet Oh
my gosh, I was going to and then I didn't get to, And
now now it's out of theaters in my town, so I have to wait
for streaming. I've managed it's on HBO Max. Now I don't have HBO
Max anymore. It used to be part of my perk for living on campus,
but then Discovery Plus. Yet another tragedy of Discovery Plus is they all
their contracts with college campuses, so we lost it. I was on the
last episode of season three of Harley Quinn didn't get to see it. I'm
I'm lost. Yeah, I really want to see Barbarian. It's been really
hard not to find out anything about it so far. I know absolutely nothing,
and I want to keep it that way until shit, I guess.
I guess I have to wait for a Blu ray if it's only on HBO
Max. Yeah, I'm curious when that comes. I'm I think they just
recorded the commentary for it, which seems a little late for that if it
was going to have a very quick Blu ray release. So we'll see.
We haven't gotten any any sort of release date on that. Yet, let
me ask, are you able to keep up with new releases with the kind
of generally generally no. This year, I've done a better job of it
because I've missed the theater so much. I've been kind of forcing myself to
go back. So I've seen I've seen the Black Phone in theater. I've
seen Terrifier to Barbarian Smile. I went and did that eight film Nightmare on
Elm Street Marathon day. I know I've seen one or two others this year.
Oh, I saw everything everywhere all at once in theaters. Yeah.
Usually no, And not to mention my sensibilities tend to lean more towards the
not super old films are like classics, but more like forty year old films.
I really feel at home there anyways. Yeah, I do. I
do tend to do that. My my my oldest daughter made me take her
to see every Marvel movie. So we did see Doctor Strange, the Sam
Raimi Doctor Strange in the theater, and there were some moments that were definitely
sam Raimi, and then there was the rest of the YEP. So,
and I don't like that. I don't want to support the big superhero movies
in the theater. I want to support the barbarians and the smiles and everything
everywhere else all wants movies. But yeah, I just I can't. I
can't get out. I want to. I I also do go to all
the MCU films and a buddy of mine. It's it's just kind of a
tradition at this point. We always go first or second weekend and we get
tay food beforehand. And that sounds like, I mean, once you see,
once you see a certain number of them, you've got a critical mass
where like the next one comes down, it's like, Okay, well I
got you gotta go. Yeah, although I gotta say go ahead. I
was just gonna say, if you've seen twenty eight films like wis out there
and not the twenty nine. I gotta tell you, though, my daughter
and I were shocked at how much we disliked for Love and Thunder. It
was just a mess. I didn't actively dislike it, but man was a
huge as far as a step down from Regnarock. Yeah, and I am
so sick of villains being talked out of it. What are you a superhero
for if you're just gonna put him through tough therapy at the end. Anyway,
just well, the big one that pissed me off with that one.
His name was the god Butcher, and not once did you get to see
him butcher any gods. He stabbed one in the first five minutes, and
that was an accident by accident right on. Yeah, that was a real
shame. I read somewhere that that Christian Bale had kind of pushed it into
R rated territory with part of his performance, but that it was always understood
that stuff would be cut out. Still, you butcher one god exactly.
No. I would have loved like a five minute montage in the middle of
him, just a whole bunch of killing scenes and him going crazy was what
I mean. You can even get a couple of cameos in there, some
really famous people just getting straight slaughtered, and it would have been amazing.
I thought, that's what the whole I thought, the whole point of the
setup with with the Greek gods and Zeus and all that, and then obiously
I thought that was going to be set up for him to come and kill
them all interrupted. Yeah, yeah, what the hell? Yeah, so
very disappointing a trip to the theater for that one, but I gotta admit
Black Panther the Wakanda Forever looks really good. Gonna see it. So I
was obsessed with comics between the years nineteen eighty seven and nineteen ninety three,
very specifically, like every comic that came out in that time, Marvel or
DC I've pretty much read, and inexplicably I liked Name of the Submariner,
even though in the comics it was kind of ridiculous of those little feet,
wings and stuff. So I'm really excited to see what they do with the
name more character. The trailer looks looks cool. Yeah yeah, Nostalgia's really
what what draws me to these these. But you had to have really love
the X Men then, oh yeah, I subscribed to that. And the
era was when they were like in Australia and they had the they had the
guy with a bull roar that teleported him, and I remember there was like
there was one I remember the first appearance of Jubilee was like the women of
the X Men went went through a portal to go shopping in a mall and
that's that's how Jubilee followed them back. Oh well, really, I will
have to talk about some geeky stuff. All that being said, though,
I don't think my two favorite superhero movies will ever change. Punish A war
Zone and The Punisher went Dolph London. Those are the the two best superhero
movies, and I will I will fight for those. I I didn't think
I was gonna let any of mine fall, but then Spider Man into the
Spider Verse kind of toppled everything for me. That movie is incredible. That
was really good. Yeah, all right, number three, I'll put that
number three. Yes, will any of the questions for will fully have something?
Okay? That's good. I fully expected two am so yeah, I
completely did too, and yet here we are. I think I thought there
were going to be more announcements somehow, or maybe it was just there were
so many that I didn't know anything about. Not a lot of Hooper tonight,
I says, I highly suggest you read Garth and It's different runs on
Punisher. All right, all right, so the era that I read comics,
I remember that was the era that had the Punisher war Zone team up
of Wolverine and the Punisher, which Stan It's almost well. I did finish
West craven essay on the Hillside Ice part too, the one, the one
that I have not finished, is on as Television Films, and it is
so close I just need to Okay, cool, Yeah, I'll check that
out now. I got West Craven on one side and The Punisher on the
other. I'm totally gonna finish this essay by tomorrow. Flickering waves of scanning
the release calendar for the rest of twenty twenty two. Glass Onion, Women
Talking and the Fableman's are ones that I hoped to catch in theaters but probably
missing a few. Yeah. Glass Onion looks really good, and I'm curious
about the Fablements for sure. I'll be happy to see anything. So is
that behind will a puppet from Nightmare Weekend? Or is this terrible cold making
me see things which which which it looks like on I believe it would be
your right shoulder, yeah, the left, white head, Okay, left
shoulder, white head, purple body. Okay, So maybe maybe, maybe
some other time, I'll take the camera around this office. If so.
This is my office where students come to talk to me about their work and
problems that they're having. And one thing that they notice very slowly sitting in
here is that in every nook and cranny all over the place. There are
clowns. There are clowns everywhere. I'll just so you see in this bookcase
here, there's clowns kind of stuffed everywhere. So if you go three sixty
around this office, there's clowns everywhere. And this there's a clown that one
of my student staff members crocheted for me and gave me. I think it's
got some souls in it. So yeah, I've got I've got hell of
clowns in here. That's awesome. So many clowns it really creeps people out.
Mm hmm. All right with the changeling ball in there, that's a
changing ball. Nice. Yeah, thank you, Sevan uh Stances. How
about Lucky McKee's Old Man? Have you seen it? No, I really
want to, I do. I do like Lucky McKee despite all cheerleaders must
die, which I did not care for, but I do like Lucky Kan.
I'm excited to see old Man. Yeah, I've not seen it yet
either. Is that streaming? Where is it? I don't think so?
Okay, don't all right? Friends, Yeah, we start to be meandering
for too long, and I want to make sure that everybody is engaged so
talk about I would like to say thank you for hanging out and letting us
be a part of your Thursday night. Thanks for hanging out with us and
