00:01:30.920 --> 00:01:38.560
Hello, and welcome back to Reconnected. I'm imagining that many of our usual

2
00:01:38.640 --> 00:01:42.280
viewers are probably waiting until the debate
is over to show up. But for

3
00:01:42.280 --> 00:01:47.439
those of you that are already here, we got two very interesting people here

4
00:01:47.439 --> 00:01:51.640
with us tonight. First Mark from
Orbit DVD, who has not been here

5
00:01:51.680 --> 00:01:55.319
for over two years. Mark,
thanks for coming back. Yeah, yeah,

6
00:01:55.920 --> 00:02:00.000
I'll come on weekly if you need
me. I'm available. The last

7
00:02:00.040 --> 00:02:04.439
time you were here, Orbit still
wasn't doing pre orders. That's how long

8
00:02:04.480 --> 00:02:07.639
ago it was. That's yeah,
that feels like a lifetime ago. I

9
00:02:07.639 --> 00:02:13.680
can tell you that it's definitely put
years on our lives once we started.

10
00:02:15.360 --> 00:02:17.000
Well, we'll get into the details
and all that. Yeah, that's going.

11
00:02:17.080 --> 00:02:22.840
But also for the first time with
us tonight, mister Jim Tutor Jim,

12
00:02:22.919 --> 00:02:28.240
Hello, Ryan, It's fantastic to
be here. After being a loyal

13
00:02:28.360 --> 00:02:35.879
podcast listener to this and your interviews
for just about a year now, I've

14
00:02:35.960 --> 00:02:39.639
become this has become part of my
weekly routine. Albeit this is the very

15
00:02:39.680 --> 00:02:46.560
first time I've ever participated in the
video side of it. I've been a

16
00:02:46.599 --> 00:02:53.840
strictly audio only guy up until tonight, so this is exciting on multiple levels.

17
00:02:53.840 --> 00:03:01.039
As you, you might imagine,
amazing, glad you're prettier than me.

18
00:03:01.280 --> 00:03:06.080
So so you are, it says, I don't know, I don't

19
00:03:06.080 --> 00:03:13.319
know. I've been told I've aged
poorly. Oh yeah, so uh but

20
00:03:13.400 --> 00:03:16.560
also aged well. So it depends
on who it is. And I'm sure

21
00:03:16.639 --> 00:03:22.960
this would go for you as well. Yeah yeah, I'm I'm freaking fifty

22
00:03:23.039 --> 00:03:29.560
years old and all this this gray
just exploded. It just happened. Oh

23
00:03:29.759 --> 00:03:34.560
that literally just happened the past couple
of years. And yes it's been few.

24
00:03:35.319 --> 00:03:38.560
We got Erica Schultz on the chat
saying thank you Mark for carrying the

25
00:03:38.639 --> 00:03:44.080
sweetest Taboo book for her. Oh
okay, okay, so time to tell

26
00:03:44.080 --> 00:03:46.560
a small story of course about her. Yeah. Yeah, so she she

27
00:03:46.719 --> 00:03:53.199
emailed us and and she's saying,
hey, my mom and I'm paraphrasing,

28
00:03:53.280 --> 00:03:55.719
so correct me if you remember this
better. But she's on hih, my

29
00:03:55.759 --> 00:04:01.599
mom lives in the area and around
us, and uh, and it's like

30
00:04:01.680 --> 00:04:04.400
going, do you want to carry
She wants to know if if you want

31
00:04:04.400 --> 00:04:09.719
to carry my book? And I'm
sure she done a research on us and

32
00:04:09.719 --> 00:04:12.280
and knew who we were. But
but I'm like, you know, we

33
00:04:12.400 --> 00:04:15.680
get solicited a lot and uh and
uh, yeah, I want to say

34
00:04:15.720 --> 00:04:19.399
I blew it off, but we're
like going, well, you know,

35
00:04:19.480 --> 00:04:24.079
let's let's see what you got.
And then then she showed us and we're

36
00:04:24.120 --> 00:04:28.839
like going, holy crap, this
is the best thing I've ever read.

37
00:04:29.040 --> 00:04:31.800
Then we we love it. Yeah
we we we like quoting from it all

38
00:04:31.839 --> 00:04:39.639
the time and huge fans. So
yeah, she she completely blew us out

39
00:04:39.639 --> 00:04:42.920
of the water. Yeah. We
we were we were shocked that she was

40
00:04:42.920 --> 00:04:46.959
coming to us. We were humbled. I guess you know, it's a

41
00:04:46.959 --> 00:04:53.560
gorgeous book. I'm so amazing book. Yeah. Yeah, Well, speaking

42
00:04:53.600 --> 00:04:56.720
of success, uh, I mentioned
the pre order thing. It's been a

43
00:04:56.759 --> 00:05:00.399
couple of years, so how how
has that been Because it seemed to me

44
00:05:00.519 --> 00:05:04.600
from the outside, Orbit's kind of
exploded in popularity since then, which last

45
00:05:04.600 --> 00:05:08.720
time we were talking about how you
got more popular since the start of pandemic,

46
00:05:08.879 --> 00:05:14.079
So it's like exponential increase. Now
it feels like it has felt exponentially.

47
00:05:14.199 --> 00:05:15.879
Yeah, and you know, I
joked, you know, adding years

48
00:05:15.879 --> 00:05:20.160
to my life every every month here, but yeah, yeah, so we

49
00:05:20.800 --> 00:05:26.959
you know, I never was much
of a pre order guy personally, except

50
00:05:27.000 --> 00:05:29.800
for you know, I had a
video store so we of course with pre

51
00:05:29.920 --> 00:05:33.000
order for the store and whatnot.
But but uh, a lot of the

52
00:05:33.040 --> 00:05:38.879
customers wanted it and it made sense
to us if the question us for us

53
00:05:39.079 --> 00:05:44.079
was just could we do it?
You know, like like like uh it

54
00:05:44.839 --> 00:05:48.439
people think that we're a warehouse.
We have this large space that that we

55
00:05:48.439 --> 00:05:51.560
we occupy. That's not the case. We have we have a store.

56
00:05:53.240 --> 00:05:58.879
So until about a year ago,
we were still shipping behind our counter before

57
00:05:58.879 --> 00:06:02.639
we opened up. And uh,
and we have office suites above us and

58
00:06:02.680 --> 00:06:09.199
whatnot. So so my wife deb
kind of took it upon herself to uh

59
00:06:09.439 --> 00:06:14.360
figure this out the pre order process. So she is the one that has

60
00:06:14.519 --> 00:06:20.639
really made it h very very practicable
and for everybody, you know, customers,

61
00:06:20.839 --> 00:06:26.399
ourselves, shipper, the shippers and
and the and the other employees that

62
00:06:26.399 --> 00:06:30.160
are pulling the tickets and things like
that. We have worked out a system

63
00:06:30.360 --> 00:06:34.360
and uh, we we have been
stress tests with that time and time and

64
00:06:34.399 --> 00:06:40.759
time again. Uh. The next
one is tomorrow. It's the largest for

65
00:06:40.920 --> 00:06:45.759
us, the largest American pre order
we've ever had, which is Taxi Driver.

66
00:06:46.439 --> 00:06:49.279
Uh Taxi Driver four KSE steel book
is coming out in a few days.

67
00:06:49.319 --> 00:06:54.319
So uh, but we we have
no doubt that we'll handle it perfectly.

68
00:06:54.519 --> 00:06:58.600
And uh, like I said,
everything's a learning process in life.

69
00:06:58.639 --> 00:07:00.000
And and you know, with pre
orders, we really didn't anybody that we

70
00:07:00.040 --> 00:07:04.240
can we can call or talk to
or anything like that, so so we

71
00:07:04.319 --> 00:07:08.079
kind of had to figure it out
ourselves. And and and so far,

72
00:07:08.199 --> 00:07:12.000
so good. Yeah, you know, things get missed, you know,

73
00:07:12.720 --> 00:07:15.720
Ilet's say, things get missed here
and there, like things with her never

74
00:07:15.759 --> 00:07:18.839
get missed. She is absolutely you
know, perfectly became sound of these pre

75
00:07:19.000 --> 00:07:23.800
orders. But you know, whatever
kings we have in the beginning, they

76
00:07:23.800 --> 00:07:29.000
got worked out pretty fast. Jim
switching over to you, why don't you

77
00:07:29.040 --> 00:07:32.240
share with everybody everything you do,
because there's a lot I only lost a

78
00:07:32.319 --> 00:07:35.839
couple in the in the description,
but there's a lot there. Well,

79
00:07:36.000 --> 00:07:39.399
okay, I don't. You don't
really want me to do that, we'll

80
00:07:39.399 --> 00:07:44.079
take up all the rest of the
time. I wear a lot of hats,

81
00:07:45.480 --> 00:07:50.920
primarily a really ratty cowboy hat while
I'm outside. Okay. One hat

82
00:07:50.959 --> 00:07:57.920
I wore in the past was working
on professional movie sets. Like several of

83
00:07:57.920 --> 00:08:01.480
your guests in the past. One
of those people who made a go of

84
00:08:01.519 --> 00:08:09.639
it in the filmmaking side of things. I never really ventured outside Missouri where

85
00:08:09.680 --> 00:08:13.439
I live. I live in Saint
Louis, by the way, not terribly

86
00:08:13.519 --> 00:08:18.759
far from where you are, running
opposite corners of the same. Okay,

87
00:08:18.040 --> 00:08:24.959
yes, but in the greater scheme
of this here United States. But we're

88
00:08:26.600 --> 00:08:30.120
not so far, We're not so
far. So yeah. Anyhow, I've

89
00:08:30.199 --> 00:08:37.759
worked on films in the art department, dressing sets, buying props, building

90
00:08:37.879 --> 00:08:41.919
things, all that kind of stuff. Over the years, kind of drifted

91
00:08:41.960 --> 00:08:46.720
out of that. It is a
hustle. It's a freelance gig economy,

92
00:08:46.759 --> 00:08:52.720
as they say. So when I
wasn't doing that, And by the way,

93
00:08:54.039 --> 00:08:56.799
most of the movies I worked on, through no fault of my own

94
00:08:56.960 --> 00:09:00.240
or the art department I worked with, or the Saint Louis crew, who

95
00:09:00.240 --> 00:09:03.519
are quite great at their jobs,
are no good. The movies are no

96
00:09:03.600 --> 00:09:11.559
good, and they're unmemorable and maybe
even unreleased. But of note is Gone

97
00:09:11.639 --> 00:09:15.919
Girl, the David Fincher film worked
on. That got a nice credit at

98
00:09:15.919 --> 00:09:20.399
the end credits of that thing.
You have to scroll to the Missouri credits

99
00:09:20.399 --> 00:09:26.320
for that. And I worked the
Cape Girardo unit, which was about three

100
00:09:26.399 --> 00:09:30.480
months of work filming. Then they
went to La and did another six months,

101
00:09:31.279 --> 00:09:35.600
and I did not join them for
that on account of I have family

102
00:09:35.639 --> 00:09:41.480
here. I have four kids and
a wife and it was time to come

103
00:09:41.480 --> 00:09:46.720
home after that one. That was
ten years ago, and that was the

104
00:09:46.799 --> 00:09:50.639
last big movie I worked on.
I've all the while while I was doing

105
00:09:50.639 --> 00:09:56.519
that, also reviewing movies, writing
up film reviews. Turns out that's the

106
00:09:56.559 --> 00:10:05.759
thing I can't not do. The
passion for analyzing film, talking about cinema,

107
00:10:05.840 --> 00:10:09.759
you know, it's trying to,
you know, hash out what's what

108
00:10:09.799 --> 00:10:13.519
in the in the cinematic world.
Is that that's my number one thing.

109
00:10:13.679 --> 00:10:18.159
It took me a while to learn
that. Unfortunately it does not pay.

110
00:10:18.840 --> 00:10:24.919
But through that I've gotten the other
perks I've become. I've risen to the

111
00:10:26.000 --> 00:10:30.360
level of president of the Saint Louis
Film Critics Association. I've been doing that

112
00:10:30.440 --> 00:10:35.480
for nine years. I'm pretty sure
my term is up several years ago,

113
00:10:35.480 --> 00:10:39.679
but don't tell anyone. And yeah, actually my term will be up in

114
00:10:39.679 --> 00:10:45.240
twenty twenty six. I'm gonna walk
away after ten years. So the Saint

115
00:10:45.279 --> 00:10:48.600
Louis Film Critics Association kind of you
know, managing that. I also run

116
00:10:48.799 --> 00:10:52.240
Zekefilm Dot organ non for profit and
since two thousand and five, I've been

117
00:10:52.279 --> 00:11:00.240
with Screen Anarchy, contributing randomly here
and there over the years to you know,

118
00:11:00.279 --> 00:11:05.000
film reviews and whatnot. Nowadays I
pretty much just review criterions for them,

119
00:11:05.600 --> 00:11:09.519
but that can always change, you
know. But yeah, my main

120
00:11:09.720 --> 00:11:13.559
main point place to go is Zeke
Film, my own website. Oh dat,

121
00:11:13.600 --> 00:11:18.360
Garrett and Billy the Kid there.
He just held up that, And

122
00:11:18.360 --> 00:11:22.399
I'm supposed to a review copy of
that for Screen Anarchy, and I haven't

123
00:11:22.399 --> 00:11:26.559
got it yet and it's coming out
next week, so we'll see. Anyway,

124
00:11:26.720 --> 00:11:28.720
That's that's just part of my long
list. Ryan, Sorry, are

125
00:11:28.720 --> 00:11:33.200
you sorry you asked? No,
not at all. I think people will

126
00:11:33.200 --> 00:11:37.960
find that very interesting. Oh sure, How interesting can I be when we've

127
00:11:37.960 --> 00:11:43.080
got Orbit d v D on here? You know, I'm just another pasty

128
00:11:43.279 --> 00:11:50.600
white guy who loves Blu Rays too
much, aren't we all? Yeah?

129
00:11:50.600 --> 00:12:00.360
Well, Mark held up that you're
taking home there, Mark, because that

130
00:12:00.480 --> 00:12:03.639
something that you're excited to get.
Yeah, yeah, I mean I I

131
00:12:03.080 --> 00:12:09.120
famously don't really have a large personal
collection of films because one of the reasons

132
00:12:09.120 --> 00:12:13.399
why I open a video stores.
I mostly watched things once and I'm done.

133
00:12:13.879 --> 00:12:18.639
However, you know, humongous Sam
Peck and Paul Fan and they they

134
00:12:18.679 --> 00:12:22.399
did, they did a number on
this. I tell you this this,

135
00:12:22.600 --> 00:12:24.039
I mean, I haven't opened it
yet, but uh, that's a big

136
00:12:24.080 --> 00:12:31.879
deal criterion. You know it's gonna
be absolutely fantastic. So open it on

137
00:12:31.960 --> 00:12:35.879
camera tonight the show. You can
do it. You know it's no,

138
00:12:35.919 --> 00:12:39.559
no, no, no. I
will hold on to it in the plastic

139
00:12:39.720 --> 00:12:45.039
in hopes that it might increase in
price in about ten years. That's that's

140
00:12:45.039 --> 00:12:52.879
really what I'm gonna be doing.
No, do you want to see inside?

141
00:12:52.279 --> 00:12:54.960
Is that it you're trying? You
try and talk to me into I

142
00:12:54.960 --> 00:12:58.919
should be getting my own. I
mean, it's up to you. I'm

143
00:12:58.960 --> 00:13:03.799
kind of oh stepping my bounds here. Probably. Well, there's a lot

144
00:13:03.799 --> 00:13:07.120
of business to get down to you
on this. Well, first business is

145
00:13:07.200 --> 00:13:11.399
pickups. So we're talking about Pat
Garrett's and Billy the Kid. Is there

146
00:13:11.440 --> 00:13:15.360
anything else that you got recently,
Jim, or anything else, Mark that

147
00:13:15.399 --> 00:13:18.519
you want to show that's coming into
the store. If you have anything close

148
00:13:18.559 --> 00:13:22.559
to you, I've got some stuff. But you can go first, Mark,

149
00:13:22.639 --> 00:13:24.720
No, No, you go first, and I'll run and grab a

150
00:13:24.799 --> 00:13:28.559
couple other things. Yeah, okay, I'm prepared. I've got a stack

151
00:13:28.600 --> 00:13:33.240
of stuff over here. There's a
backstory. I went last week on a

152
00:13:33.320 --> 00:13:39.120
road trip to Denver, Colorado,
primarily to see the Rolling Stones. But

153
00:13:39.240 --> 00:13:45.440
while I was there, someone I
can't remember their name on one of the

154
00:13:45.480 --> 00:13:52.960
Blu Ray centric forums suggested I go
to Aurora, Colorado and visit the Archive,

155
00:13:54.559 --> 00:13:56.200
the store, the Archive. You
been there, Ryan, I have

156
00:13:56.399 --> 00:14:01.120
not, unfortunately not to talk up
another store. Well, well, Mark

157
00:14:01.240 --> 00:14:05.000
is here too much. But this
was a unique kind of store because it's

158
00:14:05.000 --> 00:14:09.320
so vinegar Syndrome centric, and the
girl that worked there, Teresa, is

159
00:14:09.840 --> 00:14:16.039
so fun. You know. It's
clear, in true vinegar Syndrome style that

160
00:14:16.559 --> 00:14:22.440
they make no secret of just blatantly
wanting our money. There is that,

161
00:14:24.120 --> 00:14:26.240
but you know, she also kind
of gave us the little tour of the

162
00:14:26.279 --> 00:14:28.639
store, which is a lot of
fun. It's like, okay, i'll

163
00:14:28.679 --> 00:14:31.240
give you the tour. Over here
we got the Vinegar Syndrome, and over

164
00:14:31.240 --> 00:14:33.960
here we got the partner labels,
and then she started getting a little more

165
00:14:35.000 --> 00:14:37.679
informal about it, and then over
here we've got all the other labels,

166
00:14:37.720 --> 00:14:41.120
all that shit, and then over
there there's other shit and then over there

167
00:14:41.200 --> 00:14:43.960
it's say, and then finally it
was like and then over on that wall,

168
00:14:43.000 --> 00:14:46.879
way over there the bad movies.
And I'm thinking, I'm thinking,

169
00:14:48.440 --> 00:14:50.799
I mean, it's a vinegar syndrome
centric store. I mean, I mean,

170
00:14:50.919 --> 00:14:56.720
I love it. I love that. Aren't they all kind of bad

171
00:14:56.720 --> 00:14:58.399
movies? I mean, really,
you know, that's kind of why I'm

172
00:14:58.399 --> 00:15:03.840
here. And she was, you
know, what do you mean by bad

173
00:15:03.039 --> 00:15:07.399
movies? And she said, oh, you know, Forrest Gump. So

174
00:15:09.039 --> 00:15:13.639
it was all the mainstream. And
apparently my brother said while he was roaming

175
00:15:13.679 --> 00:15:16.840
around in there waiting for me to
get done, they had a little shrine

176
00:15:16.960 --> 00:15:22.759
to all the different releases physical media
releases of Dances with Wolves set up,

177
00:15:24.200 --> 00:15:31.519
which has to be anyway. That's
while I was there, I got can

178
00:15:31.559 --> 00:15:35.480
you see this here? This is
stopped there? It is stop making sense.

179
00:15:35.840 --> 00:15:43.799
The four K a twenty four book
slipcase edition, which I had said

180
00:15:43.840 --> 00:15:48.120
I wasn't going to get, but
they had it. And someone can correct

181
00:15:48.159 --> 00:15:52.120
me if I'm wrong about this,
But theyan for the same price as a

182
00:15:52.240 --> 00:15:54.240
twenty four selling it except for now. Since I was in the store,

183
00:15:54.240 --> 00:15:58.759
I didn't have to pay shipping,
so it was like fifty eight dollars and

184
00:16:00.200 --> 00:16:03.600
I don't know that I would have
sprung for this had I had to buy

185
00:16:03.639 --> 00:16:06.759
it, you know, for more
than that. But since I was on

186
00:16:06.879 --> 00:16:10.159
vacation and I'm a huge fan of
the talking heads in this movie, in

187
00:16:10.200 --> 00:16:14.720
particular who Isn't, I went ahead
and got it nice. So it's stopped

188
00:16:14.759 --> 00:16:21.120
making sense. The fancy Pants four
K edition. Here's a fine from a

189
00:16:21.159 --> 00:16:25.480
local my local shop I have.
I'm fortunate enough to have a local used

190
00:16:25.799 --> 00:16:30.240
blu ray shop up the street called
Nickel Flicks, and they sell you know,

191
00:16:30.639 --> 00:16:36.840
used media there really inexpensively, and
it's a really nice store. My

192
00:16:36.960 --> 00:16:41.440
oldest son actually works there. Anyway, I found it came from Outer Space.

193
00:16:41.919 --> 00:16:48.360
Four K Ultra HD edition supposed to
be really nice, and I'm really

194
00:16:48.399 --> 00:16:53.080
looking forward to this great Jack Arnold
classic. You know Jack Arnold, right,

195
00:16:53.519 --> 00:16:56.559
Ryan, I do. Yeah.
We used to many scenes from that

196
00:16:56.639 --> 00:17:03.359
in our visual essay for filming exactly
exactly. Here's Severn's the Astrologer. Another.

197
00:17:03.960 --> 00:17:07.599
I bought this Sight Unseen, but
it was like, you know,

198
00:17:07.720 --> 00:17:11.000
twelve bucks or something, and it's
like, well, let's just see and

199
00:17:11.200 --> 00:17:17.240
uh oh here's one. This is
uh I haven't met doctor Dodson on here

200
00:17:17.319 --> 00:17:21.880
yet, but he he keeps talking
about the Killer Condom four K or the

201
00:17:21.960 --> 00:17:26.279
Killer Condom movie. So at the
Archive and Aurora they had this on their

202
00:17:26.319 --> 00:17:30.880
Pride Month display. This used copy
of the four K is is Uh.

203
00:17:32.119 --> 00:17:36.920
It was thirteen dollars, so if
for no other reason then to hold it

204
00:17:37.000 --> 00:17:40.440
up right now and get a chuckle
out of you. I bought this and

205
00:17:40.480 --> 00:17:47.599
it's part of my collection. Yeah, and then and then oh I got

206
00:17:47.640 --> 00:17:49.440
this. Uh. I was one
of the lucky for you to get this

207
00:17:49.480 --> 00:17:56.799
on ten dollars blowout at Vinegarsoner and
this is uh kin za za? Is

208
00:17:56.799 --> 00:18:00.079
that? Am I saying it right? Kin zaza more like a zah yeah

209
00:18:02.079 --> 00:18:07.680
pronunciations, So you nailed it.
Also, I'm sorry if this is taking

210
00:18:07.680 --> 00:18:12.480
too long. Lots of great pickups. It's what we all are. DVDs.

211
00:18:14.359 --> 00:18:18.640
You guys remember DVDs right? These
are DVDs of the drive in collection

212
00:18:19.079 --> 00:18:23.240
Vinegar Syndrome. Uh. These are
the ones I was not able to snag

213
00:18:23.279 --> 00:18:27.160
when they were five dollars during one
of their sales. So I h I

214
00:18:27.200 --> 00:18:36.240
was able to fill in some gaps
there from Mark's competition. I just got

215
00:18:36.279 --> 00:18:42.000
a stack of these Radiance titles.
Uh, there's the Moment of Romance,

216
00:18:44.400 --> 00:18:51.400
Facts of Murder, Elegant Beast,
and this one The Iron Prefect. So

217
00:18:51.480 --> 00:18:56.079
I got those on sale and that
shipment just showed up recently. Nice.

218
00:18:56.240 --> 00:19:02.200
And then finally here's another nickel Flick's
local pickup door Day you guys, Doris

219
00:19:02.319 --> 00:19:07.440
Day collection on TCM from Mike circa
two thousand and nine. This is a

220
00:19:07.880 --> 00:19:15.160
four Doris Day classics from early in
her career, before she became the world's

221
00:19:15.200 --> 00:19:18.359
oldest virgin. I teach, by
the way I should mention, I teach

222
00:19:18.440 --> 00:19:22.960
courses on film history. Also,
I'm one of those guys at a school

223
00:19:22.960 --> 00:19:26.960
called Webster University in Saint Louis,
and one of my courses is the history

224
00:19:26.960 --> 00:19:33.559
of comedy cinema, so Doris Day
is part of that. I'm done.

225
00:19:33.759 --> 00:19:37.880
Those are my pickups. Love to
see that mark. What do you got

226
00:19:37.880 --> 00:19:41.279
in? What is shipping now?
From over? What do you want to

227
00:19:41.319 --> 00:19:45.759
share with us? Sure? Sure, sure, Well part of my joys

228
00:19:45.039 --> 00:19:52.039
is we buy and sell use movies, so I'm able to just take home

229
00:19:52.319 --> 00:19:59.680
what I want from these mail ends. So you know, this might be

230
00:19:59.720 --> 00:20:03.799
the only official Russ Meyer will ever
have anyway, there is beyond the Valley

231
00:20:03.799 --> 00:20:07.119
of the Dolls criterion. Now I
brought home a new copy of this,

232
00:20:07.240 --> 00:20:12.640
But then what we're finding is someone
people almost in the heavily sell us brand

233
00:20:12.680 --> 00:20:17.440
new or brand new releases. For
example, I just brought in Stopped making

234
00:20:17.480 --> 00:20:22.240
sense. Someone sold it to me
literally two weeks ago. And uh so,

235
00:20:22.279 --> 00:20:26.599
anyway, here is a plant of
the vampires. It's excellent radiance there

236
00:20:27.119 --> 00:20:30.480
get hard to find ad yeah,
yeah, yeah, we we were able

237
00:20:30.519 --> 00:20:34.559
to scrounge. We we we have
multiple suppliers we have found in England,

238
00:20:34.640 --> 00:20:38.000
so once one gets tapped out,
we just go to the other one and

239
00:20:38.000 --> 00:20:41.400
and just start accumulating as much as
we possibly can. But I was able

240
00:20:41.440 --> 00:20:45.160
to bring the new copy back and
sell it and keep the keep the used

241
00:20:45.160 --> 00:20:51.079
copy for myself. I was at
a Living Dead weekend earlier this month,

242
00:20:51.119 --> 00:20:55.880
and the great folks at Severn are
always there, and I was able to

243
00:20:55.880 --> 00:21:00.279
get the you know, Delmorete Dell
Moore, hard to see with the the

244
00:21:00.319 --> 00:21:07.319
glare there. So happy with that
to killer. And finally I collect eight

245
00:21:07.400 --> 00:21:11.400
tract tapes. That's my thing.
I'm obsessed with eight tract tapes. I

246
00:21:11.400 --> 00:21:15.480
can show you a thousand of them
right now. But there is one person

247
00:21:15.519 --> 00:21:22.559
I really look to collect, and
that is anything any More Coney. Yeah.

248
00:21:22.640 --> 00:21:27.960
So so uh there is the very
funky exs to and then this is

249
00:21:27.960 --> 00:21:34.559
a great Italian compilation with some jallo
uh themes on here too. So I

250
00:21:34.599 --> 00:21:42.039
had to I had to take home
this. Yeah, so and and the

251
00:21:42.079 --> 00:21:47.240
story behind this, Yeah, my
wife actually bought me tickets to see him

252
00:21:47.240 --> 00:21:51.599
conduct twice but he had he had
uh twice, had to cancel in Brooklyn

253
00:21:52.640 --> 00:21:53.920
and never had the chance to see
him. So you know, it just

254
00:21:55.039 --> 00:21:59.839
really still still hurts. But you
know there's always the music I can listen

255
00:21:59.839 --> 00:22:03.079
to and watch the documentary. So
so yeah, I mean this is actually

256
00:22:03.119 --> 00:22:06.079
kind of the biggest stack I've had
in a while. But you know,

257
00:22:06.119 --> 00:22:07.640
I was like, oh yeah,
I'll take this one. Oh yeah,

258
00:22:07.640 --> 00:22:10.720
I'll take this one. Oh yeah, I'll take this one. So it's

259
00:22:10.759 --> 00:22:15.240
great being an owner sometimes, you
know, like the employees sometimes have to

260
00:22:15.319 --> 00:22:19.920
like really wrestle with, you know, either eating or taking home movies.

261
00:22:22.319 --> 00:22:25.839
Whereas I was like going, I
got I got this stack right here,

262
00:22:25.880 --> 00:22:32.440
so it's all good. Yeah,
but like that that's pretty much all I

263
00:22:32.480 --> 00:22:34.720
got for this month. So far, but that's not over yet. We'll

264
00:22:34.720 --> 00:22:37.720
see. That's a pretty good month
for you. I remember last year was

265
00:22:38.200 --> 00:22:42.279
of course, of course, yeah, I set aside for that. I

266
00:22:42.319 --> 00:22:45.960
feel like people are not talking about
enough. The first one, this is

267
00:22:45.960 --> 00:22:51.880
shipping now from everybody, the brand
new the Geiver release. This is just

268
00:22:52.119 --> 00:22:55.480
incredible. Is the first time it's
been uncut in HD in the US,

269
00:22:56.119 --> 00:23:00.559
and this is easily going to be
the definitive release of this film. Another

270
00:23:00.599 --> 00:23:03.599
one that I picked up solely on
the recommendation of dear friend Celeste Lecabra.

271
00:23:04.000 --> 00:23:10.440
The Wolf House is another one Orbit
has had, and this thing looks amazing.

272
00:23:10.759 --> 00:23:15.240
Can watch that. It's a ride, I can tell you. Yeah,

273
00:23:14.680 --> 00:23:21.079
it's strap yourself in. Yeah.
So next next is Altered Innocence.

274
00:23:21.119 --> 00:23:23.720
This is a label that just left
Ocen and I feel like people are already

275
00:23:25.079 --> 00:23:29.400
just forgetting that they exist. But
she is Conan is one that everybody needs

276
00:23:29.400 --> 00:23:33.319
to check out. Another bertrand Mandico
title, and they've done oh gosh,

277
00:23:33.400 --> 00:23:37.519
I think three or four of his
releases now, and each one I feel

278
00:23:37.519 --> 00:23:44.079
like they're just ramping up in craziness, and supposedly this one continues that trend.

279
00:23:44.799 --> 00:23:47.680
And then Finally, one of my
favorite films in the last ten years.

280
00:23:47.759 --> 00:23:52.160
I got in finally The four K
Green Room from Second Sight. Love

281
00:23:52.200 --> 00:23:56.720
this movie. It is incredibly punk, brings back a lot of memories of

282
00:23:56.759 --> 00:24:02.000
the music scene that I was in, and just amazing movie. Mark without

283
00:24:02.039 --> 00:24:06.599
busy, You Ben, you have
much time to watch stuff lately. No,

284
00:24:07.799 --> 00:24:12.839
we we We love watching cooking shows
and I think it's now like beach

285
00:24:12.880 --> 00:24:18.799
renovation competition shows. When we get
home, we're so so worn out.

286
00:24:18.359 --> 00:24:22.839
But what did I watched last week? I am? I am still watching

287
00:24:22.880 --> 00:24:26.559
like maybe two or three movies a
week. I am, you know,

288
00:24:26.599 --> 00:24:32.440
I used to be one or two
a night back in my day. Now

289
00:24:32.440 --> 00:24:34.799
I have an employee about the same
age as as me. He's he's turning

290
00:24:34.839 --> 00:24:38.960
fifty. He still watches three movies
a day, three movies a day,

291
00:24:40.000 --> 00:24:45.400
and he yeah he has literally seen
everything. But but yeah, that so

292
00:24:45.519 --> 00:24:55.680
memorable. I forgot what it was
watch. Yeah, yeah, we could

293
00:24:55.720 --> 00:25:03.440
guess. I guess Empire Strikes Back. No, however, we did buy

294
00:25:03.440 --> 00:25:07.200
I can't put on site, but
we we did buy those fan mastered uh

295
00:25:07.440 --> 00:25:12.480
Star Wars trilogy. Yeah, film
with somebody you know, legally we can't

296
00:25:12.519 --> 00:25:17.920
we can't make those available, but
I'm kind of I know, I know

297
00:25:17.960 --> 00:25:21.400
that they've spent a long time doing
the first one and then I think maybe

298
00:25:21.400 --> 00:25:25.200
they had to kickstart the next two. But I'm really excited to get into

299
00:25:25.200 --> 00:25:30.960
those just to see. Yeah,
yeah I will. The other course I

300
00:25:30.079 --> 00:25:34.279
teach you is the one I created
from nothing is a history of Star Wars

301
00:25:34.359 --> 00:25:40.599
on uh and its effects on pop
culture, you know, leading up to

302
00:25:41.160 --> 00:25:45.319
the original films and then back.
So yeah, I use those exact ones,

303
00:25:45.359 --> 00:25:52.799
mark those fan restored because it is
you know, for academic purposes absolutely

304
00:25:52.839 --> 00:25:56.759
and also personal preference, we have
to show those original theatrical versions, and

305
00:25:56.799 --> 00:26:02.440
that's the old best way we can
get them is the fan recreations. They

306
00:26:02.440 --> 00:26:06.920
do a really good job. But
like you say, uh, it's under

307
00:26:06.960 --> 00:26:11.920
the table ish, but everybody knows
about them. I think that that cares

308
00:26:12.319 --> 00:26:18.400
right right. Yeah, I find
it very impressive. Oh good, Yeah,

309
00:26:18.640 --> 00:26:19.240
I can't. I mean, I
have them here now, I can't

310
00:26:19.240 --> 00:26:22.319
wait to watch them, honestly,
So, I mean I was, I

311
00:26:22.400 --> 00:26:26.480
was right there in the line the
opening weekend, so you know, it's

312
00:26:26.480 --> 00:26:33.200
definitely all Yeah. So so let's
see you would have been four for you?

313
00:26:33.279 --> 00:26:38.039
No, I was I was eight. I'm fifty five. Mistake Okay,

314
00:26:38.079 --> 00:26:41.599
I thought you said you were talking
about your employee. Who's fill the

315
00:26:41.599 --> 00:26:45.880
employees fifty Yeah, So you know, it's good having an employee that's around

316
00:26:45.880 --> 00:26:48.480
the same age as you culturally,
you know, because they hit the same

317
00:26:51.119 --> 00:26:55.000
you know, milestones or whatever cultural
events happen, you know what happening,

318
00:26:55.200 --> 00:26:57.480
uh, right together, you know, for the most part. So it's

319
00:26:57.519 --> 00:27:02.240
right. It's could have some of
the bouncing off of mainly sixty million dollars

320
00:27:02.319 --> 00:27:06.400
Man and Bigfoot. It's basically all
we talked about. That's probably eighty five

321
00:27:06.400 --> 00:27:11.400
percent. Yeah, Jim, what
about you? What have you been watching

322
00:27:11.440 --> 00:27:18.319
lately? Well? I was fortunate
enough to be given a day of uninterrupted

323
00:27:18.440 --> 00:27:23.480
viewing last on Father's Day, last
week or whenever. That was two weeks

324
00:27:23.480 --> 00:27:27.039
ago. And that never happens because, like I said, I have four

325
00:27:27.160 --> 00:27:32.720
kids. It's hard to watch things. We only have one television by the

326
00:27:32.759 --> 00:27:37.200
way, we're all vying for it, video games, streaming, whatever.

327
00:27:37.920 --> 00:27:42.160
But on that day it was mine
and I watched this. I watched Nightmare

328
00:27:42.319 --> 00:27:52.000
Weekend from Vinegar Syndrome. This is
another find from the Nickel Flick's store where

329
00:27:52.039 --> 00:27:56.680
my son Works. They were selling
this out of print slipcover with a mirror

330
00:27:56.720 --> 00:28:00.680
on it. And you know,
I'm not a big slipcover junkie, but

331
00:28:02.359 --> 00:28:06.039
I like a fun slip cover as
much as the next guy. And man,

332
00:28:06.160 --> 00:28:10.279
look at that this is. I
was like, I don't know much

333
00:28:10.319 --> 00:28:14.359
about this movie. And then the
guy working the counter, my friend Jeff,

334
00:28:14.400 --> 00:28:18.279
who works there, he's a bit
older and loves trash movies, and

335
00:28:18.279 --> 00:28:21.960
he goes, Oh, that's terrible. So I had to get it.

336
00:28:22.519 --> 00:28:27.319
And yeah, anyway, Nightmare Weekend
was satisfyingly terrible. This thing has a

337
00:28:27.359 --> 00:28:34.240
puppet that kills people with a computer
somehow tying to everything together. Apparently the

338
00:28:36.039 --> 00:28:41.359
crew wasn't speaking English, the script
was in French, and nobody knew what

339
00:28:41.400 --> 00:28:47.359
was going on, and man does
its show? Okay? Next from Saturn's

340
00:28:47.359 --> 00:28:52.519
Core Red Spirit Lak you know that
one. It's a shot on video and

341
00:28:52.559 --> 00:28:56.720
I'm not a big shot on video
guy either, But this came through the

342
00:28:56.759 --> 00:29:02.880
store and it was I don't know, I think I paid twenty dollars for

343
00:29:02.960 --> 00:29:07.160
this, which I don't know.
I don't think you can get the cardboard

344
00:29:07.200 --> 00:29:12.920
slipcover anymore, so once again I
was I was snagged by this one and

345
00:29:14.319 --> 00:29:18.960
Red Spirit Lake is nuts. I
can't say I understood a minute of it,

346
00:29:19.759 --> 00:29:26.519
but it has this that that lynchy
and fervor, that that maybe you

347
00:29:26.559 --> 00:29:33.119
want from your shot. On video
at Screen Anarchy, I reviewed Quarrel The

348
00:29:33.480 --> 00:29:40.880
Rayner Verner Fossbender, the final film
he made from Criterion Kraarrell Yeah, very

349
00:29:41.559 --> 00:29:47.640
released for the June Pride month.
This is a strange movie. Did you

350
00:29:47.640 --> 00:29:53.960
guys see this? I'm not said, spires shaped like phallacies, built out

351
00:29:55.000 --> 00:30:00.640
of bricks like practical. You know, it's it's a very weirdly age bound

352
00:30:00.720 --> 00:30:03.519
movie, and you know, but
but also highly cinematic at the same time,

353
00:30:04.119 --> 00:30:14.559
and you know, just kind of
I don't know, it's it's it's

354
00:30:14.640 --> 00:30:18.640
kind of wickedly gay, if that
makes sense. It's like early eighties,

355
00:30:18.640 --> 00:30:22.960
you know, when queer cinema is
still very much under the radar and had

356
00:30:22.960 --> 00:30:27.519
a bone to pick about being under
the radar. A movie like this was

357
00:30:27.720 --> 00:30:33.039
just in everyone's face who bothered to
watch it? So that's my review of

358
00:30:33.079 --> 00:30:37.200
this is on Screen Anarchy. And
can I say, Jim too, I'm

359
00:30:37.200 --> 00:30:40.640
so glad you wrote about it.
I read it, and I very much

360
00:30:40.680 --> 00:30:45.839
appreciate you including the picture of the
architecture. Yeah, that we can all

361
00:30:45.880 --> 00:30:48.480
see it. Yeah, yeah,
I mean it's hard, it's i should

362
00:30:48.519 --> 00:30:55.039
say, difficult not to when you
know, it is such a point of

363
00:30:55.799 --> 00:31:00.960
conversation when you're talking about Corel how
can you not talk about the fell expires

364
00:31:00.440 --> 00:31:03.240
that are you know, two and
a half stories talld that the actors are

365
00:31:03.240 --> 00:31:08.680
all just wandering past at a given
point. About sci fi chillers, this

366
00:31:08.720 --> 00:31:14.759
is a review I did at Zeke
Film recently. Three sci fi chillers from

367
00:31:14.799 --> 00:31:19.799
the nineteen fifties. I love.
I think the nineteen fifties is my favorite

368
00:31:19.839 --> 00:31:23.519
decade of movies. I think it's
the most interesting decade of movies, with

369
00:31:23.799 --> 00:31:29.079
the nineteen seventies being a very very
close second. Most people pick the nineteen

370
00:31:29.079 --> 00:31:34.200
seventies for me, I love the
tension embroiled in these in the best of

371
00:31:34.319 --> 00:31:40.119
nineteen fifties cinema, and so much
nineteen fifties sci fi takes us there,

372
00:31:41.519 --> 00:31:45.720
you know, with the Cold War
and things percolating that will erupt in the

373
00:31:45.759 --> 00:31:48.519
sixties. The nineteen fifties were a
terrible decade, you know, for a

374
00:31:48.519 --> 00:31:53.359
lot of people, but for cinema
it's it's one of the more interesting And

375
00:31:53.400 --> 00:32:00.039
finally, this morning I watched the
Francis coppol as The Rain People. I

376
00:32:00.039 --> 00:32:02.440
guess we'll get to him later,
is that right? Yeah, after we

377
00:32:02.440 --> 00:32:07.720
talk about announcements, we are talking
about Francis Ford Coppola and The Rain People.

378
00:32:07.799 --> 00:32:09.519
Just got a recent Blu Ray release. I know, yes, very

379
00:32:09.519 --> 00:32:15.160
stoked about that. I found this
for two dollars at the store up the

380
00:32:15.200 --> 00:32:20.000
street, nicol Flick, so I
bought. I bought this probably last year

381
00:32:20.880 --> 00:32:23.400
and haven't been able to haven't got
a chance to upgrade to the Blu Ray

382
00:32:23.480 --> 00:32:28.400
yet, And watching the disc of
this today, man, do I need

383
00:32:28.480 --> 00:32:32.640
to? Because this is not a
good transfer in some ways. I mean,

384
00:32:32.960 --> 00:32:37.480
at first it seems like it is, but then you see the James

385
00:32:37.559 --> 00:32:43.759
Conn's red coat and it's like literally
pixely on this DVD water archive DVD of

386
00:32:43.759 --> 00:32:50.200
The Rain People. So if you're
considering The Rain People, I would say

387
00:32:50.920 --> 00:32:52.960
go for that Blu Ray. It
has to be better than this. The

388
00:32:53.039 --> 00:32:57.559
quality of this DVD. And then
you find out it was just a choice

389
00:32:57.559 --> 00:33:02.680
and it was meant to be pixelated. Are yeah nineteen sixty eight esthetic choice?

390
00:33:02.720 --> 00:33:07.200
You know, that's how cutting edge, Cupola. You know. I'll

391
00:33:07.240 --> 00:33:09.880
talk about my beesel cople in a
minute, But like he went back and

392
00:33:09.920 --> 00:33:14.960
re edited the DVD release to add
the pixelization and the code because that's how

393
00:33:15.119 --> 00:33:17.920
he envisioned it, you know,
back in like with sixty eight sixty nine,

394
00:33:19.119 --> 00:33:22.440
right right. I love that we
just rewrote Hollywood history and somebody's like

395
00:33:22.519 --> 00:33:31.160
people right now here. It's a
very interesting fact. Yes, uh my

396
00:33:31.359 --> 00:33:35.880
last week I went to the theater
with my kids and saw Inside Out Too

397
00:33:36.039 --> 00:33:40.079
and was pleasantly surprised that it didn't
suck, especially when Pixar just put out

398
00:33:40.079 --> 00:33:46.079
this announcement that they're shying away from
director's personal experiences and moving towards more mass

399
00:33:46.079 --> 00:33:50.640
market appeal films, and man did
that make me sad when they said that.

400
00:33:51.359 --> 00:33:55.359
But Inside Out Too, Yeah,
it's great. It's pretty good.

401
00:33:57.440 --> 00:34:00.440
I love that. The Yeah,
and it's it's very much like the first

402
00:34:00.440 --> 00:34:02.799
one. So if you like the
first one, you're gonna love the second

403
00:34:02.799 --> 00:34:07.679
one. And a little beneath the
first one, but still very good.

404
00:34:08.079 --> 00:34:10.559
I would agree with that. I
would agree with that. I almost I

405
00:34:10.599 --> 00:34:15.079
think it's a little more I don't
know, like Hetty, they try things

406
00:34:15.119 --> 00:34:19.000
with this one that they shied away
from that first one. It's a little

407
00:34:19.039 --> 00:34:24.320
more advanced. Maybe it's a difference
between a child and an adolescent. I

408
00:34:24.360 --> 00:34:30.239
think exactly exactly. The other big
thing I revisited Scorsese's Gangs of New York

409
00:34:30.239 --> 00:34:35.519
for another podcast, and uh man, forgot how much I didn't like that

410
00:34:35.639 --> 00:34:42.159
movie and still don't like that movie
very much. The set design is nice,

411
00:34:42.280 --> 00:34:46.239
and Daniel da Lewis is fairly talented, but I don't like much else.

412
00:34:47.920 --> 00:34:51.599
I didn't like that when it came
out, and I was I was

413
00:34:51.639 --> 00:34:57.480
bummed because it was this long touted
thing that Scorsese had always been wanting to

414
00:34:57.519 --> 00:35:00.119
make since the beginning of his career, and then final, finally, finally

415
00:35:00.159 --> 00:35:04.320
he got to do it, and
he got to do it on his terms,

416
00:35:04.719 --> 00:35:08.000
and the thing comes out, and
I thought, is it just me?

417
00:35:08.159 --> 00:35:15.360
Or is this really kind of sloggy
and disjointed and just a little too

418
00:35:15.400 --> 00:35:20.199
big for I don't know. It's
our local Alamo draft House is going to

419
00:35:20.199 --> 00:35:22.800
be showing it. I've been tempted. I have the subscription to that,

420
00:35:22.960 --> 00:35:28.199
so I was tempted to go check
it out again after all these years,

421
00:35:29.519 --> 00:35:32.320
And I thought I don't know,
is it just going to be the same

422
00:35:32.360 --> 00:35:37.239
thing? And it sounds like Ryan, yeah, based on your experience,

423
00:35:37.320 --> 00:35:39.519
yes, it would be the same
thing. Yeah, the opening is really

424
00:35:39.599 --> 00:35:44.440
nice and then man let down fairly
quickly after that. I know I have

425
00:35:44.519 --> 00:35:47.480
to see it because I've seen lots
of mentions of just how shitty as his

426
00:35:47.760 --> 00:35:52.440
performance was in the film, and
like, is it really that bad?

427
00:35:52.559 --> 00:35:55.880
I mean, I might want to
watch it again just to see if I

428
00:35:57.559 --> 00:36:00.079
didn't hate her hater in the thing, you know, but the actually And

429
00:36:00.199 --> 00:36:02.039
is bad. But really the character
was just poorly written. Yeah, that

430
00:36:02.119 --> 00:36:05.679
was like they maybe had to throw
something of a female character in there.

431
00:36:05.840 --> 00:36:08.360
I don't know, you know,
like like I read a pretty good takedown

432
00:36:08.400 --> 00:36:14.039
of Scorsese by Richard Hell years ago, I think after as one of the

433
00:36:14.079 --> 00:36:19.519
shows that the Vinyl Show came out
the saying he's tired of the the Scorsese

434
00:36:19.639 --> 00:36:24.480
Boys Club. You know, it's
like And and he has some valid points

435
00:36:24.280 --> 00:36:29.760
that he's making. He goes,
you know that that's the it wasn't his

436
00:36:29.880 --> 00:36:35.920
New York, but you know it
Scorsese's New York or Guy's Club is is

437
00:36:36.000 --> 00:36:39.559
just you know, it's kind of
played out and you know, once again,

438
00:36:39.599 --> 00:36:42.880
it's some valid points there, but
you know, I can't say I

439
00:36:42.960 --> 00:36:49.360
agree with it. It was merely
very oddly written relationship between Leo and camer

440
00:36:49.440 --> 00:36:52.840
Diaz, and that I mean the
fact that he gets, you know,

441
00:36:52.960 --> 00:36:57.480
jealous because she slept with people before
he came around, and the hits her

442
00:36:57.519 --> 00:37:00.199
around a little bit. It's got
it. Yeah, it's not. It's

443
00:37:00.239 --> 00:37:07.320
not great. Yeah, yeah,
I just remember feeling like it. It

444
00:37:07.360 --> 00:37:10.239
was kind of stuck in its own
meyer in a weird way, and I

445
00:37:10.280 --> 00:37:15.320
felt badly for not liking it and
for Scorsese finally getting to do it.

446
00:37:15.360 --> 00:37:21.000
And then it was this, I
don't know, it's a very muddy movie,

447
00:37:21.039 --> 00:37:23.519
so I forgive it for spinning its
tires. Lots of mud. Yeah,

448
00:37:23.559 --> 00:37:29.039
a good big mud budget. Ye. All right, gentlemen, are

449
00:37:29.079 --> 00:37:32.280
we ready to cover some announcements?
By the way, I believe literally every

450
00:37:32.360 --> 00:37:37.840
single thing we're talking about tonight will
be able to be ordered from Orbit DVD,

451
00:37:37.559 --> 00:37:40.960
except for maybe some of these Walmart
Steel books, because I'm not sure

452
00:37:40.960 --> 00:37:45.719
if those are exclusive yet or not. Well, screw depends on the company.

453
00:37:45.960 --> 00:37:51.239
Depends on the company. All right, let's get into it first,

454
00:37:51.320 --> 00:37:54.519
up, last week. Our first
announcement was your next coming on four K

455
00:37:54.679 --> 00:38:00.400
from Second Site. This is coming
fairly quickly August nineteenth, and this is

456
00:38:00.440 --> 00:38:05.159
gonna come with the Brandy four K
restoration with Dolby Vision approved by the director

457
00:38:05.199 --> 00:38:07.800
Adam Wingard. We've got a new
audio commentary with the director and the writer,

458
00:38:07.920 --> 00:38:12.119
Simon Barrett's. We've got some archival
stuff in here, and a whole

459
00:38:12.199 --> 00:38:15.519
bunch of new interviews Adam Wingard,
Simon Barrett, the producers, a couple

460
00:38:15.519 --> 00:38:20.239
of the actors of course at Second
Sight. So you got a long book

461
00:38:20.280 --> 00:38:23.639
with a bunch of new essays by
Martin Kterio, Andrew Graves, Kurt Halford,

462
00:38:24.000 --> 00:38:29.159
Alexander Heller, Nicholas Sheil, Rowan
Lee, and Heather Wixon, plus

463
00:38:29.239 --> 00:38:32.800
six art cars and all that fun
stuff you're next to. Any anybody's seen

464
00:38:32.800 --> 00:38:37.039
this one Unlike this one. I
have not seen it, but I've been

465
00:38:37.239 --> 00:38:42.719
I've been wanting to make time for
it since it ever came out. I've

466
00:38:42.719 --> 00:38:46.239
heard good things about it, but
I won't be picking this up because it's

467
00:38:46.280 --> 00:38:52.559
a bit much for a movie like
that that I've back burned for whatever reason.

468
00:38:53.840 --> 00:38:57.760
Mark, I Yeah, I love
it when it came out. I

469
00:38:57.760 --> 00:39:01.920
think now it has some created some
hard tropes that has been copied a lot

470
00:39:02.239 --> 00:39:06.880
since then, but I think they're
kind of the og They're kind of like

471
00:39:06.920 --> 00:39:09.760
the you know, the people that
kind of set the template there. So

472
00:39:09.960 --> 00:39:14.199
yeah, I think it's great.
I think Second Site is great for you

473
00:39:14.199 --> 00:39:17.079
know, really highlighting films over the
past twenty years. It doesn't have to

474
00:39:17.079 --> 00:39:21.239
be stuck in the eighties, you
know, when you're reaching you know,

475
00:39:21.280 --> 00:39:25.719
even did the horror genre out there. And we're excited about this one for

476
00:39:25.800 --> 00:39:30.559
sure. It's been I haven't seen
it since it first came out, so

477
00:39:30.679 --> 00:39:35.280
I'm looking forward looking forward to seeing
it again. Same for me. I

478
00:39:35.559 --> 00:39:40.039
really remember liking Barbara Crampton a lot
in this individual characters are just super fun

479
00:39:40.039 --> 00:39:45.199
to live in this little universe to
create for the night. I also think

480
00:39:45.199 --> 00:39:50.480
it's funny that we have this overly
crazy four K lavish release from Second Site

481
00:39:50.559 --> 00:39:53.159
and then in about twelve minutes we're
going to cover this very cheesy Walmart Blu

482
00:39:53.239 --> 00:39:57.840
ray release from a Lionsgate in the
States. But that's how it goes lately.

483
00:40:00.719 --> 00:40:04.960
Is this crazy look in Blu ray
release from Treasured Films in the UK.

484
00:40:05.440 --> 00:40:08.880
Coming in August of the Island from
nineteen eighty. If you have not

485
00:40:09.639 --> 00:40:13.840
heard of this one or may not
recognize this, this did get a very

486
00:40:13.880 --> 00:40:16.679
early screen factory Blu ray. This
one's got some big names in it too.

487
00:40:16.719 --> 00:40:22.119
You got David Warner, Michael Caine, directed by Michael Ritchie, lots

488
00:40:22.159 --> 00:40:25.239
of new extras on this new audio
commentary with Kim Newman and Barry Forshaw,

489
00:40:25.960 --> 00:40:30.119
interview with one of the stars of
the film. We got a visual essay

490
00:40:30.119 --> 00:40:35.280
by Howard Berger and Kevin Marr from
Indestructible Man on Michael Ritchie himself, a

491
00:40:35.480 --> 00:40:40.159
visual essay by the author John Harrison
about Peter Benchley on screen. And then

492
00:40:40.599 --> 00:40:45.960
one that Mark is probably excited about. Agenio Urchlani in Italy made a forty

493
00:40:46.079 --> 00:40:52.239
two minutes visual essay about Ennio Morricone. And that is the one reason I

494
00:40:52.280 --> 00:40:59.280
want this release anymore Tony special features
is okay by me. Yeah, if

495
00:40:59.280 --> 00:41:06.159
the in case the any O doc
isn't enough, then you can always you

496
00:41:06.199 --> 00:41:09.719
know, supplement it with this,
because that's so you know, Yes,

497
00:41:09.800 --> 00:41:14.400
I of course will watch this for
sure. I always remember like, uh,

498
00:41:14.480 --> 00:41:15.760
I think, it's all I think
as a teenager when the when the

499
00:41:15.800 --> 00:41:20.239
ads came out, I thought this
was a hard movie for the longest time.

500
00:41:20.320 --> 00:41:23.000
But you know, it's it's not
you know, it's it's a pirates

501
00:41:23.239 --> 00:41:28.800
but uh Mark Crystal Gestri is saying, I was going to ask a forward

502
00:41:28.920 --> 00:41:34.159
is getting this it's not available for
pre order yet. No, we'll have

503
00:41:34.199 --> 00:41:39.079
to look into that. It isn't
isn't Treasure Films the company that terror Vision

504
00:41:39.159 --> 00:41:45.039
is picking up. I can't remember
they are selling Treasured Films on the tube.

505
00:41:45.239 --> 00:41:47.039
Yeah, yeah, yeah, so
so we might be waiting for that

506
00:41:47.079 --> 00:41:53.719
information before we move forward with that. We we stock everything terror Vision puts

507
00:41:53.719 --> 00:41:59.360
out, so this won't be a
problem. And also, you know,

508
00:41:59.360 --> 00:42:04.800
we also looking for you know,
who will be cheaper for for our customers.

509
00:42:04.800 --> 00:42:07.960
If it's still cheaper to get it
from the UK or from you know,

510
00:42:07.960 --> 00:42:10.559
it probably cheaper to get it from
terror Vision on my head, you

511
00:42:10.599 --> 00:42:15.639
know. So so yeah, once
we get more information about it, we'll

512
00:42:15.639 --> 00:42:17.960
throw it up there. Yeah,
this is this is one a lot of

513
00:42:19.000 --> 00:42:22.400
people like Jim have you seen this
one. I'm not a big Michael Bay

514
00:42:22.440 --> 00:42:28.960
fan. I'm kidding. It's not
that the island. I like that island.

515
00:42:30.599 --> 00:42:37.400
The island just Just to clarify,
I have actually not seen either of

516
00:42:37.440 --> 00:42:42.320
these. I just couldn't resist the
dumb joke. But no, I did

517
00:42:42.519 --> 00:42:45.800
go for this. It sounds very
interesting, but no, I have not

518
00:42:45.880 --> 00:42:52.159
seen it yet. I can't vouch
for it. All right, Going to

519
00:42:52.559 --> 00:42:59.400
our next one. Then we got
into Imprint with with some big ones September

520
00:42:59.400 --> 00:43:02.039
twenty fifth, or when these three
Imprint releases are coming out. The first

521
00:43:02.199 --> 00:43:08.239
is the Tales of Adventure Collection number
four. We got on this one King

522
00:43:08.320 --> 00:43:13.920
of the Rocketmen from nineteen forty nine
worldwide first time on Blu Ray, Flying

523
00:43:14.000 --> 00:43:20.039
Discman from Mars from nineteen fifty,
The Invisible Monster from nineteen fifty, Radar

524
00:43:20.159 --> 00:43:23.159
Men from the Moon from fifty two, Zombies of the Stratosphere from fifty two,

525
00:43:23.639 --> 00:43:30.440
Mysterious Doctor Satan from nineteen forty.
This one is in SD but on

526
00:43:30.559 --> 00:43:35.639
Blu Ray, and then Commando Cody
Sky Marshall of the Universe from fifty three.

527
00:43:36.280 --> 00:43:40.119
This seems like it's right up Jim's
alley. Yeah, with the Star

528
00:43:40.159 --> 00:43:46.599
Wars course that I teach at the
university, this sort of thing definitely has

529
00:43:46.639 --> 00:43:57.559
a place because young George Lucas grew
up watching these episodes on television when television

530
00:43:57.559 --> 00:44:00.079
first came around, and his family
got a television. So this stuff's important

531
00:44:00.119 --> 00:44:06.320
now for me personally. I wish
I had the patience and the wherewithal for

532
00:44:07.440 --> 00:44:10.480
old cereals more than I do.
I know you're not supposed to. They

533
00:44:10.480 --> 00:44:15.960
weren't made to just be watched binged
in a three plus hour sitting, but

534
00:44:16.079 --> 00:44:19.840
that is what most of us would
end up doing. When you're throwing a

535
00:44:19.840 --> 00:44:23.039
disc like this and it just wears
me out after a while, you know,

536
00:44:23.079 --> 00:44:27.480
there's something about it that is fun, as fun as it can be.

537
00:44:27.719 --> 00:44:30.559
Daredevil's in the Red Circle from Keno
Larber a few years ago. I

538
00:44:30.599 --> 00:44:36.000
reviewed that that's supposed to be the
best adventure cereal ever made, period,

539
00:44:36.880 --> 00:44:39.920
so says the experts, And that
wore me out. So I don't know,

540
00:44:40.679 --> 00:44:45.000
I'd love that. Said, boy, this look this box set?

541
00:44:46.119 --> 00:44:52.639
Who's this umbrella or imprint? Imprint? This looks fantastic. It's hard to

542
00:44:53.000 --> 00:44:59.880
resist this, although I know it
would wear me out this stuff. On

543
00:44:59.880 --> 00:45:04.280
the one Uh, I could tell
you already this is gonna be the most

544
00:45:04.280 --> 00:45:07.079
popular tales from a venture set yet
just looking at our pre orders, uh,

545
00:45:07.360 --> 00:45:10.960
I think people have been waiting because
the previous ones that seeming like like

546
00:45:12.079 --> 00:45:15.400
jungle adventures and you know just you
know, just uh run in the middle

547
00:45:15.480 --> 00:45:19.960
action films from the period. But
this, this is the one, you

548
00:45:20.000 --> 00:45:22.679
know, cereals, uh, you
know sci fi, you know a little

549
00:45:22.760 --> 00:45:27.760
horror elements as well. Uh,
this this is the one I think people

550
00:45:27.800 --> 00:45:32.360
have been waiting for, and uh
yeah, I'm I'm looking forward to it

551
00:45:32.400 --> 00:45:36.719
myself, to be honest. You
know, some of these I've seen a

552
00:45:36.719 --> 00:45:42.320
lot of my habit if you are
a special features nerd like myself and like

553
00:45:42.360 --> 00:45:45.039
a lot of us. Uh,
they are making all the right choices for

554
00:45:45.079 --> 00:45:49.519
this as well. They got Tom
Weaver to do audio commentary on about half

555
00:45:49.559 --> 00:45:52.920
of them, Gary Garani on the
other half. And this is just gonna

556
00:45:52.920 --> 00:45:55.480
be probably an almost perfect set if
you are into this sort of thing.

557
00:45:57.239 --> 00:46:05.079
Yeah, absolutely definitive. And supposedly
they've got two or three more of these

558
00:46:05.079 --> 00:46:07.119
Tales of Adventure sets coming. So
if you're into this stuff, I hope

559
00:46:07.119 --> 00:46:10.639
you get your wallet's ready because these
are pricey. Yeah, this is the

560
00:46:10.679 --> 00:46:14.159
most expensive. I think most of
them only have like maybe three or four

561
00:46:14.199 --> 00:46:20.559
movies and am I this' this one's
packed that all right? The next one

562
00:46:20.599 --> 00:46:25.280
from Imprint is Voyage of the Damned
from nineteen seventy six. This is from

563
00:46:25.559 --> 00:46:30.000
Stuart Rosenberg. This one is going
to have a two disc hard box collection

564
00:46:30.079 --> 00:46:34.639
with the brand new interview with Malcolm
McDowell, new audio commentaries, and then

565
00:46:34.679 --> 00:46:38.480
a rarely seen three hour extended version
of the movie, although that one's only

566
00:46:38.480 --> 00:46:44.400
in standard definition. We got Matthew
Aspery Gear who's doing the commentary on the

567
00:46:44.400 --> 00:46:49.239
theatrical cut, Daniel Kramer's doing the
extended cut, and then Malcolm McDowell with

568
00:46:49.280 --> 00:46:52.760
that new interview and maybe some more
special features coming eventually. Voyage of the

569
00:46:52.840 --> 00:46:55.960
Damned. I'm not sure if I've
seen this one. I feel like I

570
00:46:57.000 --> 00:47:01.280
have, but I don't remember quite
What about you mark this one? You

571
00:47:01.320 --> 00:47:06.159
know, it's one of these films
that we probably would catch on TV yep

572
00:47:06.280 --> 00:47:08.440
ale years after it came out,
and I, for the life of me,

573
00:47:08.440 --> 00:47:10.760
I can't remember it. So sometimes
like these, you know, Star

574
00:47:10.840 --> 00:47:16.199
study cast, you know, disaster
films or whatever, action and adventure films,

575
00:47:16.440 --> 00:47:21.440
they're kind of a blur in my
earlier memory. And you know,

576
00:47:21.960 --> 00:47:23.480
I can't remember this one. To
be honest, I might have seen it,

577
00:47:24.119 --> 00:47:28.159
especially the seventies, they all blended
together. I mean, and I

578
00:47:28.280 --> 00:47:30.119
you know, I was too young
to be enjoying I mean, I enjoyed

579
00:47:30.159 --> 00:47:35.639
the seventies immensely, but I was
too young to be really enjoying the seventies.

580
00:47:35.719 --> 00:47:39.880
So what about you, Jim.
I've never seen this, and I

581
00:47:40.440 --> 00:47:45.519
haven't really heard about it, I
have to say, but yes, it

582
00:47:45.559 --> 00:47:51.800
does very much strike me as one
of those nineteen seventies want to be mega

583
00:47:51.840 --> 00:47:55.239
productions. As we can see from
the cover of the Outer Box, there's

584
00:47:55.519 --> 00:48:00.760
you know, what, what are
we looking at here? Eighteen heads of

585
00:48:00.760 --> 00:48:07.400
of actors recognizable famous like over look
at that is that's fake, I can

586
00:48:07.440 --> 00:48:12.880
point out right now, I think
orson wells. Oh you know, but

587
00:48:14.000 --> 00:48:19.840
oh, and I see the ship
is cruising over a giant Nazi swastika in

588
00:48:19.920 --> 00:48:23.000
the ocean there too, So that's
that's telling. Uh. They're literally in

589
00:48:23.039 --> 00:48:27.159
the shadow of death, it says, that's the tagline, in the Shadow

590
00:48:27.559 --> 00:48:31.159
of Death. So that's why they
are damned on this particular voyage. They

591
00:48:31.199 --> 00:48:36.400
got lost in the Bermuda swastika.
Oh, it happens. It happened a

592
00:48:36.440 --> 00:48:42.280
lot in the seventies. It starts
starts in the upper up left, and

593
00:48:42.400 --> 00:48:46.760
that's that's where you get confused,
ends down there in Chile. Watch Out,

594
00:48:46.960 --> 00:48:52.199
Watch Out. Next one Imprint putting
out Capricorn one. This one,

595
00:48:52.199 --> 00:48:55.719
of course a classic that many people
love. Uh. This one is with

596
00:48:55.800 --> 00:49:00.480
Elliott Gold, James Brolin, that
one guy, O. J. Simpson,

597
00:49:00.559 --> 00:49:04.440
and even Karen Black. This is
going to be another two disc hard

598
00:49:04.440 --> 00:49:09.000
box release that includes the theatrical cut
and the rarely seen two hour and nine

599
00:49:09.079 --> 00:49:13.239
minute extended cut, both in HD. On this one, we got a

600
00:49:13.280 --> 00:49:16.639
new audio commentary by Daniel Kramer and
Daniel Waters, who's the screenwriter. He

601
00:49:16.719 --> 00:49:21.360
is also on the extended cut.
There's a new interview with Elliott Gold.

602
00:49:22.039 --> 00:49:27.719
There's some archival featurettes and all kinds
of that good stuff, plus more coming

603
00:49:27.840 --> 00:49:31.079
in this one. How do you
guys feel about Capricorn one? I want

604
00:49:31.079 --> 00:49:36.679
it. I've never seen that,
but I want that box set right there.

605
00:49:36.800 --> 00:49:40.719
That's that's looking good. That's that
that's in my wheelhouse again for the

606
00:49:42.280 --> 00:49:46.559
Star Wars studies that I do you
know in the wake of that, this

607
00:49:46.559 --> 00:49:52.119
this movie comes along the following year
and it's it's very much in the pre

608
00:49:52.800 --> 00:49:59.920
Star Wars seventies millieu of of distrust
and paranoia and that's still carrying over.

609
00:50:00.079 --> 00:50:07.639
That's interesting. It's also a star
studded film with the you got your paranoia,

610
00:50:07.639 --> 00:50:10.599
you got your OJ Simpson, you
got everything. They're faking the moon

611
00:50:10.679 --> 00:50:15.519
landing just and this comes along just
in time for the Flymey to the Moon

612
00:50:16.239 --> 00:50:22.679
theatrical release, that Scarlett Johansson movie
that's coming out, also about faking the

613
00:50:22.719 --> 00:50:30.119
moon landing topical. That's a lot
about faking the moon landing, all right,

614
00:50:31.960 --> 00:50:36.280
all the OJ Simpson jokes that is
capricorn one, Like I said,

615
00:50:36.320 --> 00:50:39.960
all of those coming On September twenty
fifth Blu Ray from Imprint in Australia.

616
00:50:40.760 --> 00:50:45.519
One of the bigger pieces of news
from the week other than one main title

617
00:50:45.519 --> 00:50:52.079
making its four K debut. Variety
reported that Shutter and IFC are partnering with

618
00:50:52.199 --> 00:50:59.480
Severn to deliver home video releases of
specifically eleven special edition physical titles that they're

619
00:50:59.519 --> 00:51:04.000
going to be putting out, including
Satan Slaves, Anti Viral, Baskin,

620
00:51:04.440 --> 00:51:09.719
the twenty twelve remake of Maniac Sisters, and the Autopsy of Jane Doe.

621
00:51:09.800 --> 00:51:14.400
Now, on one end, this
is exciting because it could lead to more

622
00:51:14.480 --> 00:51:19.000
streaming service titles coming to Blu Ray. On the other hand, mostly everything

623
00:51:19.000 --> 00:51:22.920
they announced here have been released on
Blu Ray elsewhere, and I'm wondering what

624
00:51:22.960 --> 00:51:27.039
they're going to do to mine out
of these any of these titles specifically that

625
00:51:27.079 --> 00:51:30.519
you guys like or have an interest
in. Oh, I absolutely love Autosia

626
00:51:30.599 --> 00:51:37.760
Jane Doe Man, that's amazing,
amazing. I enjoyed the Elijah Wood maniac

627
00:51:37.320 --> 00:51:44.440
Anto. Yeah, Anti Viral is
a good debut for Cronenberg. Yeah,

628
00:51:44.480 --> 00:51:46.679
I mean a lot of these lots. This is solid, solid list here.

629
00:51:47.400 --> 00:51:52.760
I'll say Raven Banner has Autossia James
Doe in Canada, and that's probably

630
00:51:52.760 --> 00:51:59.920
one of the best slip covers ever
or not. It's incredible and we have

631
00:52:00.119 --> 00:52:05.039
sold a ton of so I don't
know if they can top that or not.

632
00:52:05.199 --> 00:52:09.119
Well, we'll see, but I'm
well, please try, you know,

633
00:52:09.159 --> 00:52:10.840
I want to see what else they
can do with it. But you

634
00:52:10.880 --> 00:52:15.400
know, it also came out through
show Factory, I think earlier there still

635
00:52:15.440 --> 00:52:19.960
is. I think it's still available
through show Factory. Yeah. I believe

636
00:52:20.039 --> 00:52:24.000
a few of these are like basking
Was as well and uh yeah, and

637
00:52:24.039 --> 00:52:29.320
even like the Maniacory make got a
four K release from Germany. That's that's

638
00:52:29.360 --> 00:52:32.719
correct. Yeah, yeah, that's
correct. Mister. What do you think?

639
00:52:34.280 --> 00:52:37.280
Well, I think okay. I
mean it's severing, right, and

640
00:52:37.280 --> 00:52:40.119
and like you said, a lot
of these have been out on Blu ray.

641
00:52:40.360 --> 00:52:45.199
It sometimes multiple versions. Uh,
is it too much to speculate that

642
00:52:45.239 --> 00:52:50.920
we're probably going to get four k's
of these from stuff? I think you

643
00:52:51.000 --> 00:52:53.079
have to. I mean I kind
of think you have to. Yeah,

644
00:52:53.159 --> 00:52:55.320
yeah, you know, we we
we we have a saying at Orbit.

645
00:52:55.400 --> 00:52:59.480
You know, lateral moves sometimes do
not make it better. It's got to

646
00:52:59.480 --> 00:53:01.679
be really impress of like a remaster
or something like that. So you know,

647
00:53:01.719 --> 00:53:05.880
people don't like switching from Blu ray
to Blu ray, you know,

648
00:53:06.559 --> 00:53:09.440
even though it could have elaborate packaging
or whatever. I mean, it really

649
00:53:09.480 --> 00:53:15.000
has to be a leap up in
quality and format to get people interested in

650
00:53:15.039 --> 00:53:16.599
it. So you're probably right.
I think it is gonna be four k.

651
00:53:17.960 --> 00:53:22.320
Offhand, I would get Anti Viral
because I've never seen it and I

652
00:53:22.400 --> 00:53:27.320
don't have any version of it yet. And Autopsy of Jane Doe for the

653
00:53:27.320 --> 00:53:30.280
same reason, honestly, And I've
been wanting to get around to those two.

654
00:53:32.000 --> 00:53:37.880
The Maniac, the Elijah Wood Maniac. Unfortunately, I just bought a

655
00:53:38.039 --> 00:53:45.480
cheap blu ray of that used just
I think a couple of days before this

656
00:53:45.519 --> 00:53:50.400
announcement dropped. Thank you for your
service, is what we say. Yeah,

657
00:53:50.679 --> 00:53:53.280
nus. There's some sort of bundle
that month with a four K of

658
00:53:53.599 --> 00:53:55.719
that. I don't know that I'll
be going out of my way for it.

659
00:53:55.719 --> 00:53:59.280
It'll be a four K bundled with
the full mannequin for you to take

660
00:53:59.280 --> 00:54:02.719
home. There. Well, that's
hard to resist and and and something my

661
00:54:02.800 --> 00:54:07.000
wife would just love to have in
the house. I'm sure you know a

662
00:54:07.079 --> 00:54:10.719
lot of sacks and stacks and stacks
of physical media, you know, just

663
00:54:10.719 --> 00:54:16.159
just you know, customized clutter man
bring it. I have either of you

664
00:54:16.280 --> 00:54:22.360
seen Baskin yet? No? No, but I think my staff likes it

665
00:54:22.480 --> 00:54:28.719
if I remember correctly. Uh,
Baskin is wild strong recommend for anybody that's

666
00:54:28.719 --> 00:54:34.079
never seen it. It is a
oh gosh, I think it's Turkish film

667
00:54:34.639 --> 00:54:38.280
and it is like a descent into
hell like I've not seen in a film

668
00:54:38.639 --> 00:54:44.079
like this in a long time.
It's rather well done, really great practical

669
00:54:44.119 --> 00:54:49.679
effects and yeah, highly highly recommend
Baskin. Is that the lady from the

670
00:54:50.800 --> 00:54:54.039
a few years ago, the Lion
that that Netflix show that everyone was watching

671
00:54:54.159 --> 00:55:01.559
the What was that where? Oh
Carroll? Yeah, yeah, is that

672
00:55:01.639 --> 00:55:06.159
about that? Because if it's that, I don't want to I'm not interested.

673
00:55:06.800 --> 00:55:08.480
Well, okay, that was a
good joke. This is nothing to

674
00:55:08.480 --> 00:55:12.639
do with Tiger King. Thankfully,
Tiger King, that's right. I didn't

675
00:55:12.639 --> 00:55:15.519
see one second of that, but
I got sick of hearing about it.

676
00:55:16.519 --> 00:55:22.079
And now there's a movie called Baskin
that seems to reference that. I'm just

677
00:55:22.159 --> 00:55:30.039
keeping my distance. That was really
funny. I not a joke. The

678
00:55:30.159 --> 00:55:36.360
next one up is nineteen eighty seven's
Hiding Out featuring John Cryer, is coming

679
00:55:36.400 --> 00:55:38.880
soon to Blu Ray from Keno Lober. Obviously, we have no idea the

680
00:55:38.960 --> 00:55:45.079
date because they do this all the
time, but this is this is what

681
00:55:45.119 --> 00:55:47.079
we are getting. I've never seen
Hiding Outs. I was never a big

682
00:55:47.159 --> 00:55:52.320
John Cryer fan, either of you. No, I've never seen it,

683
00:55:52.360 --> 00:55:58.840
but I remember when it came out
and it got trashed in the local newspapers

684
00:55:58.840 --> 00:56:02.320
by the local critics. Before my
time, of course, I was I

685
00:56:02.360 --> 00:56:07.239
don't know, what is this eighth
grade for me? So no, I

686
00:56:07.280 --> 00:56:10.960
can't I can't say I've seen this
or that. I'm looking forward to it.

687
00:56:12.039 --> 00:56:15.760
Although at Zeke Film we have a
we've had a pretty good relationship with

688
00:56:15.840 --> 00:56:23.159
Keno Larber in terms of getting screeners
and whatnot for review. If this comes

689
00:56:23.159 --> 00:56:28.360
along as an option to review,
maybe I'll take that opportunity to catch up

690
00:56:28.400 --> 00:56:36.480
with Hiding Out. Otherwise, no, I get that. Yeah, John

691
00:56:36.559 --> 00:56:38.639
Cryer has never done that for me. I gotta be honest. Superman four,

692
00:56:39.360 --> 00:56:46.039
he's the terminally eighties guy, isn't
he that Lex Luthor's nephew in Superman

693
00:56:46.119 --> 00:56:51.000
four? He'll he'll be He's a
mortal for that, and then going on

694
00:56:51.079 --> 00:56:54.599
talk shows a decade or two later, and and and telling hilarious stories about

695
00:56:54.639 --> 00:57:00.239
how bad it was making Superman four. He worked for years on Two and

696
00:57:00.280 --> 00:57:06.119
a half Men. You know it's
good, good money if you can get

697
00:57:06.159 --> 00:57:08.239
it. Absolutely, I'm sure he's
laughing all the way the bank with that

698
00:57:08.320 --> 00:57:13.719
one. Our next one, August
twenty seventh, We're getting a four K

699
00:57:13.800 --> 00:57:17.639
and blu ray from Warner Brothers of
Watchers from this year. This is the

700
00:57:19.199 --> 00:57:23.639
m Night Shyamalan family Neippo Baby movie
that came out starring Dakota Fanning, and

701
00:57:24.159 --> 00:57:28.599
this one unfortunately didn't get rave reviews. I know, you get to see

702
00:57:28.599 --> 00:57:30.079
some new ones often, do you
see this one, Jim? No.

703
00:57:30.280 --> 00:57:34.880
Oddly enough, they chose not to
show this in advanced to critics, which

704
00:57:34.920 --> 00:57:37.960
is happening more and more often with
all sorts of movies. But back in

705
00:57:38.000 --> 00:57:40.599
the old days, certainly we would
say, you know, if they're not

706
00:57:40.639 --> 00:57:45.119
showing it to film critics, well
they're trying to hide something. Reason with

707
00:57:45.239 --> 00:57:49.159
this one. I mean, I
mean, my gosh, how blatant could

708
00:57:49.199 --> 00:57:53.239
it be? On the commercials and
the trailers. Shymalan Night appears before it,

709
00:57:53.280 --> 00:57:57.320
and then is Shana. It's like, wait, wait, what you

710
00:57:57.400 --> 00:58:02.159
know? And then it's produced by
her dad. I won't know this.

711
00:58:02.280 --> 00:58:06.239
I have not seen and I don't
know. The point of no return is

712
00:58:06.239 --> 00:58:09.079
what? That's yes? And the
one three four below that yeah, that

713
00:58:09.559 --> 00:58:15.840
I mean, I mean even plays
into the film. Yeah. I was

714
00:58:15.880 --> 00:58:23.440
gonna say, even by skeleton standards, this skeletons seen better days. Unfortunately,

715
00:58:23.559 --> 00:58:25.280
that's all I have to say about
this. I don't know, I

716
00:58:25.320 --> 00:58:30.880
don't know anything. Let's go on
to the next one. Our next one,

717
00:58:30.880 --> 00:58:34.159
we announced this last week, is
coming from BFI. But because of

718
00:58:34.199 --> 00:58:37.960
that deaf Crocodile had to spill the
beans that they are working on a BLU

719
00:58:37.079 --> 00:58:43.400
ray as well of the Outcast from
nineteen eighty two. The Irish film their

720
00:58:43.559 --> 00:58:45.360
bonus features that they wanted to share
with you, just in case you wanted

721
00:58:45.360 --> 00:58:49.880
to go with THEIRS over the BFI
release. They're gonna have a new video

722
00:58:49.960 --> 00:58:52.079
interview with the director. They're gonna
have a new commentary by the producer and

723
00:58:52.159 --> 00:58:57.760
Professor Rod Stowman, who is the
former head of the Irish Film Board and

724
00:58:57.800 --> 00:59:00.519
a former director of the Houston Film
School at the National University of Ireland.

725
00:59:01.039 --> 00:59:05.280
There's a new essay by Paul Dwayne
on this that is going to be exclusive

726
00:59:05.280 --> 00:59:08.079
to the deluxe edition. Walter Chaw
also wrote on this one in the deluxe

727
00:59:08.199 --> 00:59:12.960
edition. And then there's gonna be
a bunch of short films, which Deaf

728
00:59:13.000 --> 00:59:16.760
Crocodile always does a great, great
thing with their short films. Always appreciate

729
00:59:16.840 --> 00:59:22.119
these. And as a final reminder, you are only able to subscribe to

730
00:59:22.159 --> 00:59:27.719

sounds good, how do you guys
feel about Deaf Crocodile? I love right

733
00:59:40.320 --> 00:59:52.840
now, So I love Deaf crocodile. Crocodile, Are you kidding me?

734
00:59:52.920 --> 00:59:59.719
That's like the best thing, literally
literally no. I mean they didn't pick

735
00:59:59.760 --> 01:00:04.679
my the crocodile, which which is
no. I think Deaf Crocodile's great.

736
01:00:05.880 --> 01:00:08.079
I love them. I love them. I have a mind to bail on

737
01:00:08.079 --> 01:00:15.119
this. This what do we call
this? This this appearance on on disc

738
01:00:15.400 --> 01:00:21.079
reconnected and just go watch this this
movie, uh kin zaza because this is

739
01:00:21.159 --> 01:00:25.039
Deaf Crocodile, and Deaf Crocodile is
so amazing. That's a great movie too,

740
01:00:25.280 --> 01:00:32.079
genuinely a masterpiece. Well, I'm
all right going to our next one,

741
01:00:32.239 --> 01:00:37.519
Internal Affairs from Keno Larber is getting
a four K release in the US.

742
01:00:38.159 --> 01:00:44.400
This is the nineteen ninety Richard gear
movie that has Lori Metcalf and Andy

743
01:00:44.400 --> 01:00:50.400
Garcia and I believe this was in
one of the imprint After Dark Neonoir Cinema

744
01:00:50.440 --> 01:00:53.840
box sets. Yeah, so now
you're getting an upgrade in format to four

745
01:00:53.920 --> 01:00:59.079
K, and it looks like we're
getting most of those titles eventually from Keno.

746
01:01:00.199 --> 01:01:05.960
Yeah, it does, which is
fine. I don't know anything about

747
01:01:06.000 --> 01:01:10.000
this, although it's one of those
generically titled you know, cop thriller,

748
01:01:10.119 --> 01:01:16.039
neo noir things that came around so
often in the nineties that no one could

749
01:01:16.119 --> 01:01:21.039
keep track of them. All.
I'm thrown by the cover here. We've

750
01:01:21.079 --> 01:01:24.199
we've got a cover image of this
of this disc where you know, it's

751
01:01:24.239 --> 01:01:28.559
like the original poster and yeah,
yeah, go down. It's it's like

752
01:01:28.760 --> 01:01:32.800
where it says internal affairs and then
above it Richard Gear and Andy Garcia,

753
01:01:32.840 --> 01:01:37.519
and then you know, right there
above it is I guess that's Andy Garcia

754
01:01:37.880 --> 01:01:43.360
and a girl. And it's like, just my brain assumes that the names

755
01:01:43.360 --> 01:01:45.960
are going to be the faces that
we're looking at right there, and it's

756
01:01:45.000 --> 01:01:50.000
like, that's not Richard Gear and
Andy Garcia, that Richard Gear's under cover.

757
01:01:52.159 --> 01:01:57.760
Yes, yeah, they're charming,
they're seductive, they're deadly. I

758
01:01:57.800 --> 01:02:00.440
don't know, is any of that
ever true for an internal affairs department?

759
01:02:00.480 --> 01:02:05.599
I mean, yeah, that's a
good question. Yeah, that sounds pretty

760
01:02:05.639 --> 01:02:08.360
mundane to me, but you know, the lighting here sure is evocative.

761
01:02:09.679 --> 01:02:14.719
All I know is the person who
buys for our story, she's obsessed with

762
01:02:14.840 --> 01:02:20.199
these you know, like I guess
maybe post or kind of pre basic instinct,

763
01:02:20.400 --> 01:02:22.760
you know, like like sexual thriller, you know, like a neo

764
01:02:22.840 --> 01:02:28.000
noir film. So I'm going to
hear a lot about internal affairs, I'm

765
01:02:28.039 --> 01:02:34.239
sure, until it's released, Until
the next one comes out, everything in

766
01:02:34.280 --> 01:02:39.920
the documentary We Kill for Love is
right right, and she's mentioned that,

767
01:02:40.000 --> 01:02:45.480
yeah, yeah, that movie's good. Well, our next one is probably

768
01:02:45.519 --> 01:02:51.280
the biggest single movie physical media news
of the week, bringing out the Dead

769
01:02:51.480 --> 01:02:54.360
finally getting not only a Blu ray
release but a four K release direct from

770
01:02:54.360 --> 01:03:00.480
Paramount on September seventeenth, and they
actually spent money on new special features.

771
01:03:00.119 --> 01:03:04.760
We've got some new bonus content with
Scorsese, with Nicholas Cage, with Paul

772
01:03:04.800 --> 01:03:08.360
Schrader, with Robert Richardson, and
then some archival stuff on set with a

773
01:03:08.360 --> 01:03:14.039
bunch of the actors on this kind
of fifty to fifty because Paramount is iffy

774
01:03:14.239 --> 01:03:19.159
on their four k's over the last
couple of years. But knowing that it's

775
01:03:19.159 --> 01:03:23.039
this and it's approved by Scorsese,
I'm hoping for the best. This is

776
01:03:23.039 --> 01:03:28.400
a big deal. Either one of
you excited for this one? Yeah,

777
01:03:28.400 --> 01:03:32.840
I am. I'm getting it.
This is I saw this movie when it

778
01:03:32.880 --> 01:03:39.199
came out. It's stuck in my
head. And I remember hearing an interview

779
01:03:39.239 --> 01:03:45.199
on NPR with Thomas Schumacher, Scarcese's
editor, longtime editor, and there were

780
01:03:45.559 --> 01:03:47.320
you know, she was there to
talk about whatever the new movie was that

781
01:03:47.480 --> 01:03:52.599
Scarsese had coming out, but she
had made meant she just kind of casually

782
01:03:52.639 --> 01:03:55.400
mentioned that, you know something that
we tried back on bringing Out the Dead

783
01:03:55.440 --> 01:04:00.159
in ninety eight ninety nine, whenever
this was. And she goes that it's

784
01:04:00.199 --> 01:04:03.719
a movie, It's time will come, and it's like, amen, it's

785
01:04:03.840 --> 01:04:11.239
time will come. And maybe it's
time is September seventeenth. Unforetuately come up

786
01:04:13.159 --> 01:04:17.159
a funny connection with this. One
of my friends here in town is older

787
01:04:17.199 --> 01:04:23.320
than me. Uh he rode with
that character that the guy who wrote the

788
01:04:23.320 --> 01:04:27.559
book and who the character that cage
is on that he said, he told

789
01:04:27.599 --> 01:04:33.079
me stories wilder thing in the film
and this you know, imagine being an

790
01:04:33.079 --> 01:04:36.760
EMT and like, you know,
the worst parts of New York City during

791
01:04:36.760 --> 01:04:41.800
this time period is it's it's it's
unbelievable and and he said, yeah,

792
01:04:41.840 --> 01:04:45.039
everything is true. And then he
told me even crazier stories after that.

793
01:04:45.239 --> 01:04:51.559
So now he wasn't you know,
I think in this in this realm or

794
01:04:53.199 --> 01:04:57.239
during this time period exactly. But
he definitely was friends with this guy and

795
01:04:57.440 --> 01:05:02.119
there were partners sometimes and things like
that. But yeah, I agree,

796
01:05:02.159 --> 01:05:05.440
I think this is absolutely brilliant,
says he filmed. I feel that,

797
01:05:06.000 --> 01:05:10.679
you know, I don't know,
maybybe this is too dark for the audiences

798
01:05:10.679 --> 01:05:13.239
when it came out. Uh,
like I said too already, you know,

799
01:05:13.280 --> 01:05:16.360
I was like, maybe too too
much, you know, but uh,

800
01:05:16.440 --> 01:05:20.559
yeah, I'm excited about this really. Yeah, Paul Schrader, uh

801
01:05:20.760 --> 01:05:26.639
scripting it if I'm not mistaken,
right right, Yeah, yeah, I

802
01:05:26.679 --> 01:05:29.280
believe that's that's that's right, and
that's you know, a big part of

803
01:05:29.320 --> 01:05:32.639
the draw it ought to be anyway. And yeah, Mark, like you're

804
01:05:32.639 --> 01:05:35.880
saying, my brother back then was
studying to be an EMT and he was

805
01:05:35.920 --> 01:05:41.039
doing right alongs And he came out
of this movie with me saying, yeah,

806
01:05:41.639 --> 01:05:45.960
his his limited experience doing EMT right
alongs. It's like there's a lot

807
01:05:45.000 --> 01:05:48.159
of what goes on in this movie
just you know, picking up the same

808
01:05:48.280 --> 01:05:53.800
people every night and things like that
and not knowing what to do with them,

809
01:05:53.880 --> 01:05:58.280
and then real legit things come up
that are a big deal. Yeah,

810
01:05:58.320 --> 01:06:02.320
this is this, this release I
I think is a long time coming.

811
01:06:03.199 --> 01:06:09.519
Hopefully they do a good job on
that four K. Yeah, that's

812
01:06:09.519 --> 01:06:13.360
a that's a big deal and paramount. Yeah, the last couple of years

813
01:06:13.360 --> 01:06:15.760
they've been iffy, but I really
feel like this one they're gonna go all

814
01:06:15.800 --> 01:06:17.760
in. I mean, this is
this is like one of the most anticipated

815
01:06:17.760 --> 01:06:23.400
titles from them. Anything anything shot
by Robert Richardson too. I just see

816
01:06:23.440 --> 01:06:27.400
his name on here City of Ghosts. He's interviewed on here. I guess

817
01:06:27.440 --> 01:06:30.199
one of the new bonus features.
That guy boy. He shoots most of

818
01:06:30.239 --> 01:06:33.320
the Tarantino movies. He shoots,
shot a lot of the Scarsese, a

819
01:06:33.360 --> 01:06:39.239
lot of the Oliver Stone back in
the heyday of JFK and Netch warn Killers.

820
01:06:39.360 --> 01:06:45.320
You know, just wildly visual creative
DP that I got to work with

821
01:06:45.360 --> 01:06:48.719
once on a beer commercial and Anheiser
Busch here in Saint Louis, back in

822
01:06:48.760 --> 01:06:57.079
my art direction days. So yeah, cool. Robert Richardson shot Scarsese,

823
01:06:57.639 --> 01:07:02.239
Nicolas Cage movie. Bring it.
It's a big deal, all right.

824
01:07:02.559 --> 01:07:10.400
A few more left. MVD rewind
announced nineteen eighty two Greatest Geek Year Ever

825
01:07:10.880 --> 01:07:14.360
is getting a blu ray release on
October twenty second, also coming out on

826
01:07:14.519 --> 01:07:17.239
DVD. For people still buying those, they get a commentary with the director

827
01:07:17.280 --> 01:07:21.880
and producer one of the writers,
second comedy commentary, as well some deleted

828
01:07:21.920 --> 01:07:27.519
scenes, some fan featurettes, San
Diego Comic Con panel, all that kind

829
01:07:27.559 --> 01:07:30.280
of stuff. I believe this was
previously a kickstarter film, just getting a

830
01:07:30.840 --> 01:07:36.159
wide release now that they've produced everything
and a MD rewind does fairly good for

831
01:07:36.199 --> 01:07:42.679
the most part. I'm sure this
will be a good release, seems.

832
01:07:42.840 --> 01:07:48.480
I don't know, it's yet another
you know, eighties videos, nostalgia baiting,

833
01:07:49.480 --> 01:07:53.480
you know, I mean, okay, I don't know that i'd need

834
01:07:53.519 --> 01:07:57.800
another one of these. But the
kid on the cover is reading Daredevil issue

835
01:07:57.840 --> 01:08:01.840
one eighty one, one of the
all time great Marvel comic Ish standalone issues,

836
01:08:02.960 --> 01:08:09.199
Bullseye versus Elektra, and that right
there she tells me that maybe,

837
01:08:09.599 --> 01:08:14.320
just maybe the people who made this
are actually putting their heart into it and

838
01:08:14.360 --> 01:08:20.760
know their stuff, and it's not
just chasing a buck. Yeah, that's

839
01:08:20.800 --> 01:08:28.239
a big deal, all right.
Next one is the next Severn title.

840
01:08:28.319 --> 01:08:31.560
This is coming as part of their
summer sale in July. This will be

841
01:08:31.600 --> 01:08:36.199
from July twelfth to the fifteenth.
This is the North American blueberray premiere of

842
01:08:36.359 --> 01:08:42.760
Don't Change Hands from nineteen seventy five. This one says from iconoclastic French writer

843
01:08:42.880 --> 01:08:47.119
director Paul Vecciali, comes the wickedly
perverse thriller that subverts the conventions of film

844
01:08:47.159 --> 01:08:54.079
noir by slyly flipping its traditional gender
roles. When a prominent politician receives a

845
01:08:54.119 --> 01:08:59.720
pornographic film starring her son, she
hires a hard boiled private detective to track

846
01:08:59.800 --> 01:09:02.640
down the blackmailer, but his body
stripped down, corpses pile up, and

847
01:09:02.680 --> 01:09:06.000
suspects are never what they seem.
Well, this case climax, but the

848
01:09:06.000 --> 01:09:15.119
most shocking bang of all. The
copyright on this we are getting a brand

849
01:09:15.159 --> 01:09:18.479
new two case scan from the OCN
on this an appreciation by the director from

850
01:09:18.520 --> 01:09:24.199
Knife and Heart, the author Matthew
Orlane on the life and impact of Paul

851
01:09:24.279 --> 01:09:29.399
Vicciali. Screenwriters and be talking about
this conversation with one of the actresses and

852
01:09:29.640 --> 01:09:32.359
one of the actors. And there's
going be a trailer on this Severn coming

853
01:09:32.399 --> 01:09:39.159
with the really eclectic lineup for this
sale. Very very interesting to lead off

854
01:09:39.159 --> 01:09:43.600
with opera and then go with a
whole bunch of titles that seemingly almost nobody

855
01:09:43.600 --> 01:09:48.399
has heard of so far. You
don't know, Yeah, I can't say

856
01:09:48.439 --> 01:09:53.720
I've ever heard of this. I'm
one of those as well, and color

857
01:09:53.760 --> 01:09:57.199
me fascinated. But I don't know
that I'll be jumping to purchase this.

858
01:09:58.239 --> 01:10:01.720
It strikes me as a separate title
that I will probably wind up with eventually.

859
01:10:02.560 --> 01:10:08.000
Same this. This is why I
love this hobby, be honest.

860
01:10:08.000 --> 01:10:11.079
I mean, you know, I
have never heard of this movie, and

861
01:10:11.119 --> 01:10:14.319
I already I can't wait to watch
it. You know, it's like,

862
01:10:14.640 --> 01:10:20.000
you know, once again, to
someone taking something just totally obscure and and

863
01:10:20.880 --> 01:10:25.239
you know, lost to time,
you know, I guess maybe especially in

864
01:10:25.239 --> 01:10:30.279
American audiences and bring it out and
and showcasing it. This this is fantastic.

865
01:10:30.439 --> 01:10:38.359
So I ain't seen the film already, I already like it. I

866
01:10:39.479 --> 01:10:43.560
rarely buy things for the slip art, but this one, for being from

867
01:10:43.640 --> 01:10:46.239
Severn, is very unique compared to
the rest of the stuff that they put

868
01:10:46.239 --> 01:10:53.760
out. I'm liking this art style. Yeah, it's going to our next

869
01:10:53.760 --> 01:10:58.840
one. Oh my gosh. We
got some details for Keno's twenty second film,

870
01:10:58.880 --> 01:11:05.239
No Our box set August the film
Film Noir The Dark Side of Cinema

871
01:11:05.319 --> 01:11:10.199
twenty two. This is gonna have
Captain carry Usa, Appointment with Danger,

872
01:11:10.600 --> 01:11:15.680
make Haste to Live, and we
get commentaries from Gary Garani, Heath Holland

873
01:11:15.680 --> 01:11:18.239
from Cereal at Midnight, who's gonna
be on there with Max Allan Collins,

874
01:11:18.439 --> 01:11:21.600
the author of Road to Perdition,
And then the last one is gonna be

875
01:11:21.680 --> 01:11:30.039
by Sam Degan herself. Some interesting
choices there. But the twenty second film

876
01:11:30.079 --> 01:11:32.720
Noir box that from Keno and they're
not slowing down anytime soon. It feels

877
01:11:32.760 --> 01:11:38.279
like not to be mister correct the
pants here, but it is just twentieth

878
01:11:38.359 --> 01:11:42.720
right, that's oh sorry, Yes, they had announced twenty second last week.

879
01:11:45.159 --> 01:11:50.760
I got ahead of myself, any
two. This is just some details

880
01:11:50.800 --> 01:11:59.840
for the twentieth. Yeah, I
don't know these things. I've got a

881
01:11:59.840 --> 01:12:04.720
love hate relationship with these film noir
Dark Side of Cinema sets, which a

882
01:12:04.720 --> 01:12:09.039
lot of people have expressed, but
I I from I think I've been.

883
01:12:09.439 --> 01:12:13.079
I reviewed a lot of them,
and I finally kind of jumped ship on

884
01:12:13.159 --> 01:12:17.600
it after the fifth one because it's
like, this isn't noir. I mean,

885
01:12:18.000 --> 01:12:20.520
you know what I mean? I
know you've mentioned this before. Ryan,

886
01:12:20.560 --> 01:12:25.000
I've heard I've heard your your offhand
comments, and that's like, thank

887
01:12:25.039 --> 01:12:30.000
you, thank you. Yes,
these are They do a great job of

888
01:12:30.039 --> 01:12:34.439
getting these restored, remastered wherever they're
getting their masters from getting these out on

889
01:12:34.520 --> 01:12:40.359
DVD. That's fantastic. But why
do we have to call them noir just

890
01:12:40.359 --> 01:12:44.800
just to sell them? I guess
the term film noir when it comes to

891
01:12:44.960 --> 01:12:53.119
vintage movies is one of the few
branding terms that still resonates with film buffs

892
01:12:53.119 --> 01:13:00.760
and buyers today, So they're exploiting
that and I think not on way all

893
01:13:00.800 --> 01:13:02.600
the time. But that said,
I'm still happy to have them on Blu

894
01:13:02.720 --> 01:13:10.960
ray Mark. How do you feel
about these types of films? It will

895
01:13:11.000 --> 01:13:14.680
be sitting next to the nineteen others
we have for sale on our shelf.

896
01:13:14.800 --> 01:13:16.760
I guess. I mean, I've
heard of a couple of these titles.

897
01:13:16.800 --> 01:13:20.840
I mean, it's a genre that
I do appreciate, and you know,

898
01:13:21.079 --> 01:13:28.039
but like most genres, you see
the best in the genre and you're not

899
01:13:28.159 --> 01:13:32.079
really seeing much else, you know, after that. I do agree that

900
01:13:32.279 --> 01:13:36.439
you know, at a lot of
this stuff is a stretch that it is

901
01:13:36.479 --> 01:13:42.520
filmed more sometimes so, But yeah, bring it. I mean you film

902
01:13:42.520 --> 01:13:45.800
more is it's still very popular for
us, which if is popular for us,

903
01:13:45.840 --> 01:13:50.039
I'm sure it's popular all around,
and it's goem to be gaining popularity.

904
01:13:50.039 --> 01:13:54.960
Actually, I don't know if it's
anything culturally that's happened to get interest.

905
01:13:55.079 --> 01:13:59.680
You know, maybe just the physical
collecting of movies has has sort of

906
01:14:00.159 --> 01:14:02.039
some interest, but like, uh
yeah, it seems to me just getting

907
01:14:02.079 --> 01:14:06.520
bigger and bigger out there. So
you know, there's still film noir conventions,

908
01:14:06.560 --> 01:14:13.319
like in I think it's November in
Palm Springs, California, there is

909
01:14:13.359 --> 01:14:16.439
a film noir convention that people are
traveling to to just come hang out and

910
01:14:16.439 --> 01:14:20.359
watch film noir together for a full
weekend. Did they all cosplay? They

911
01:14:20.359 --> 01:14:26.079
were, yes, like probably,
there's probably a lot of trench Sign me

912
01:14:26.159 --> 01:14:34.760
up, I'll check it out.
They're they're the h yeah again, No

913
01:14:35.239 --> 01:14:40.439
Captain carry Us A. I don't
know that movie. Someone's asking about it

914
01:14:40.439 --> 01:14:46.119
in the comments here. I can't
a movie. I'm sorry. That title

915
01:14:46.199 --> 01:14:49.119
just does not sound very no war
is to me. It really doesn't.

916
01:14:49.520 --> 01:14:55.039
It sounds like what's happens a lot
of times with these Quino Larber film noir

917
01:14:55.159 --> 01:14:59.479
sets is it's it's old, it's
black and white. It was made during

918
01:14:59.560 --> 01:15:03.199
the no era, depending on who
you ask, nineteen forty one to nineteen

919
01:15:03.199 --> 01:15:10.359
fifty eight, and therefore maybe it
has a gun in it at some point,

920
01:15:10.439 --> 01:15:15.159
good enough, throw it in,
you know that said, I may

921
01:15:15.239 --> 01:15:19.279
or may not check this set out. I can't get them all. I

922
01:15:19.279 --> 01:15:23.760
mean, good grief, we're looking
at twenty of these and counting. Yeah,

923
01:15:23.840 --> 01:15:26.239
they've already, like I said,
they've already announced all the way through

924
01:15:26.239 --> 01:15:29.399
twenty two, and we'll get an
announcement for twenty three soon, I'm sure.

925
01:15:29.600 --> 01:15:32.279
Yeah, it's a shelf space issue. And here's here's a sci fi

926
01:15:32.560 --> 01:15:39.119
chillers. The Keino Studio Classics put
out this is a similar three movie set

927
01:15:39.239 --> 01:15:44.439
with commentaries and everything else. And
look at it. It's the size of

928
01:15:44.479 --> 01:15:48.319
a single Blu ray case. Everything
fits right in there. And yet what

929
01:15:48.399 --> 01:15:51.680
we're looking at with the film noir
sets, they're sticking to this, you

930
01:15:51.720 --> 01:15:58.640
know, three case slip box thing. And I'm sorry, I don't have

931
01:15:58.640 --> 01:16:03.319
the shelf space for the twenty these
things A lot it is, that's multiple

932
01:16:03.319 --> 01:16:08.760
shelves of films. It is all
right. Next up, we got kind

933
01:16:08.760 --> 01:16:15.119
of an odd set Walmart is getting
a landslide of Lionsgate titles coming on August

934
01:16:15.119 --> 01:16:19.279
tenth. These are all steel books
and they all have one of those pet

935
01:16:19.520 --> 01:16:24.840
plastic sleeves that go over the top
of them. And what's interesting is a

936
01:16:24.840 --> 01:16:29.479
couple of these are making Blu Ray
debuts in the US in this type of

937
01:16:29.520 --> 01:16:32.760
release. First off is Wolf Creek. This is one of the ones that

938
01:16:32.920 --> 01:16:38.239
is a Blu Ray debut in the
US. This is the first official US

939
01:16:38.279 --> 01:16:43.920
release of Wolf Creek and HD.
It's got all kinds of archival all kinds

940
01:16:43.920 --> 01:16:46.840
of archival extras. We got the
commentary and then making of deleted scenes in

941
01:16:46.880 --> 01:16:50.760
a trailer. Won't go into too
much detail on all of these because they

942
01:16:50.760 --> 01:16:55.479
all look very much the same.
So same date August tenth, or that

943
01:16:55.520 --> 01:16:58.600
was supposed to be August twentieth,
not tenth. Sorry. This next one,

944
01:16:58.640 --> 01:17:02.319
Hannibal Rising, also a Blu Ray
debut. Not the best of these

945
01:17:02.359 --> 01:17:08.319
films, it's probably one of the
worst, but yeah, first time on

946
01:17:08.359 --> 01:17:13.239
Blu Ray in the US. This
one again has a handful of archival extras.

947
01:17:13.279 --> 01:17:16.279
Sinister also coming in one of these, with a couple commentaries and some

948
01:17:16.319 --> 01:17:24.680
featurettes. The twenty thirteen Texas Chainsaw
release, loses its three D disc it's

949
01:17:24.760 --> 01:17:27.680
only coming in Blu Ray, not
the three D Blu Ray, and then

950
01:17:27.720 --> 01:17:31.000
gets all of the legacy features that
it has. Your Next also one of

951
01:17:31.000 --> 01:17:35.800
those that's on this list, and
then I spit on Your Grave. The

952
01:17:35.840 --> 01:17:42.800
twenty ten remake also coming in this
pack. This is a weird mix and

953
01:17:42.840 --> 01:17:46.720
it's Walmart. I mean that's Oh, I don't know. I did just

954
01:17:46.800 --> 01:17:53.479
go by Layer of the White Worm
at Walmart Blue Ray because I want to

955
01:17:53.479 --> 01:17:59.000
support, you know, more Ken
Russell movies coming to Blu Ray at Walmart.

956
01:18:00.199 --> 01:18:02.359
Freaking Walmart? Are you kidding me? Weird? I had to step

957
01:18:02.399 --> 01:18:09.239
foot in there for this. I
yeah, I don't know that I spin

958
01:18:09.319 --> 01:18:14.119
on Your Grave remake. I'm not
sure. I've heard say good things about

959
01:18:14.159 --> 01:18:18.880
this. Are avowed weirdos. So
if you're out there and you're not an

960
01:18:18.920 --> 01:18:24.960
avowed weirdo in a negative way,
yeah, I mean We're all weirdos,

961
01:18:24.960 --> 01:18:29.000
aren't we But I'm talking about the
creeps. You know, there's a difference,

962
01:18:29.159 --> 01:18:31.279
and uh, you know, is
this is this anything? I don't

963
01:18:31.279 --> 01:18:38.760
know? Mark wants to interject,
Please, I'm not ashamed to admit that

964
01:18:38.880 --> 01:18:44.399
I like like film. I appreciate
it. There's tons of man kills.

965
01:18:44.560 --> 01:18:49.760
That's always great. So yeah,
I respect the original one a lot,

966
01:18:50.319 --> 01:18:55.960
even though it's a tough watch.
Yeah yeah, this one is tough and

967
01:18:56.560 --> 01:19:02.600
you know, but but yeah,
I say that's effective. It's very effective

968
01:19:02.640 --> 01:19:08.319
actually, so probably the best man
kills I've ever seen is in this one.

969
01:19:08.560 --> 01:19:12.600
So you know, my all time
favorites. There's quite a few people

970
01:19:12.640 --> 01:19:16.560
that like this one more than the
original, right, yeah, I mean

971
01:19:16.560 --> 01:19:21.439
it's better made, I guess.
Uh, this is another like that.

972
01:19:21.840 --> 01:19:26.159
This whole series is another what what
I just said about lateral moves. You

973
01:19:26.199 --> 01:19:29.560
know, it's like you've got to
really be in love with the packaging.

974
01:19:30.359 --> 01:19:34.720
Uh. We have seen a huge
uptick in steel book customers, mainly I

975
01:19:34.720 --> 01:19:41.640
guess because the Best Buy closing up
shop for the physical media. But you

976
01:19:41.680 --> 01:19:46.159
know, overwhelmingly what people want is
four K steel books. So you know,

977
01:19:46.279 --> 01:19:50.720
I don't know this is something they're
just there's farting out with with with

978
01:19:50.760 --> 01:19:55.520
a steel book cover or not,
or if there's actually remastering done. The

979
01:19:55.560 --> 01:20:01.039
wolf Creak sounds intriguing. Uh,
actually never thought even thought that. So

980
01:20:01.039 --> 01:20:04.359
he has so many imports. Everyone
thought that has not come out in the

981
01:20:04.399 --> 01:20:09.800
States, so that's that's kind of
interesting. But uh yeah, I mean

982
01:20:09.880 --> 01:20:11.920
you know that there is a market
for this on once again, I think

983
01:20:12.039 --> 01:20:15.279
most of the still book collectors that
we personally know just through the interaction through

984
01:20:15.279 --> 01:20:19.319
the store is is for is four
K or Die. At this point,

985
01:20:21.000 --> 01:20:24.600
there is one more than this drop, but we'll cover that in just a

986
01:20:24.600 --> 01:20:30.159
moment because it got announced afterwards by
the artwork. Did we just yeh talctile

987
01:20:30.680 --> 01:20:35.039
massive hint here in the comments,
Uh, he's actually referring to a title

988
01:20:35.079 --> 01:20:41.039
they've announced already, so yeah,
devn Crocodile, alluding to the fact that

989
01:20:41.039 --> 01:20:45.880
they've got Ken Russell and Drag coming
in one of their releases soon. What's

990
01:20:45.920 --> 01:20:51.560
the uh okay, Trapped Ashes I
believe is the title that they're referring to.

991
01:20:51.600 --> 01:20:58.359
Dennis bar talks uh anthology horror release. Oh that okay great? Yeah,

992
01:20:58.399 --> 01:21:03.760
yeah, yeah, cool, okay, okay. Moving to the UK,

993
01:21:04.399 --> 01:21:10.000
we've got August fifth Studio Canal releasing
The Week and the Wicked. This

994
01:21:10.039 --> 01:21:14.840
is coming on their vintage classics line
all the way back from nineteen fifty eight,

995
01:21:15.239 --> 01:21:17.279
and I got to admit every single
one that I have from this vintage

996
01:21:17.279 --> 01:21:24.319
Classics line I have bought from Mark
at Orbit because I think you guys are

997
01:21:24.359 --> 01:21:27.760
the only ones to consistently get all
of these titles in. Yeah. Yeah,

998
01:21:27.800 --> 01:21:31.600
we're obsessed with Studio Canal and they
are you know, they're they're huge,

999
01:21:31.600 --> 01:21:35.159
and you know they are. You
gotta fagure how many European films they

1000
01:21:35.479 --> 01:21:41.560
you know, either co produced or
produced. And we will snatch up any

1001
01:21:41.640 --> 01:21:45.039
Studio Canal film that comes out,
for sure. And we have been pleasantly

1002
01:21:45.199 --> 01:21:53.399
surprised with the reception to classic movies
and classic British films, things that maybe

1003
01:21:53.760 --> 01:21:56.479
that we didn't even think that there
was an audience for, but I guess

1004
01:21:56.560 --> 01:21:59.520
you know, someone saw it on
daytime or you know, like uhf,

1005
01:21:59.560 --> 01:22:02.840
probably in nineteen sixty somewhere, so
they remember the film, or you know,

1006
01:22:02.880 --> 01:22:08.600
maybe theaters that were showing older films
throughout the years and stuff. But

1007
01:22:09.720 --> 01:22:14.039
yeah, yeah, we're happy that
this is all this is coming out,

1008
01:22:15.239 --> 01:22:18.279
and they're usually great releases. This
has a brand, great restoration. Yeah,

1009
01:22:18.319 --> 01:22:24.199
Study Canal does a great, solid, consistent work, so I'm more

1010
01:22:24.239 --> 01:22:28.000
power to them. There's course one
title we're all waiting for from them,

1011
01:22:28.039 --> 01:22:32.720
But you know, we'll get We'll
keep waiting. Uh. They're even paying

1012
01:22:32.760 --> 01:22:36.800
for new extras for these. We
got some conversations and interviews and stuff.

1013
01:22:36.960 --> 01:22:41.960
They're also putting out the same time, No Trees in the Street from nineteen

1014
01:22:42.039 --> 01:22:45.199
fifty nine, related to that last
film again, another new four K restoration,

1015
01:22:45.680 --> 01:22:48.159
all coming on the same day,
August fifth, with a bunch of

1016
01:22:48.159 --> 01:22:53.359
new features on. This seems like
a really easy one to two pickup at

1017
01:22:53.479 --> 01:22:58.000
orbit for me. Question. Heyst
Herbert Loss, he can't go wrong with

1018
01:22:58.000 --> 01:23:03.479
that. Are both of these region
outside the region one the region A?

1019
01:23:04.760 --> 01:23:09.159
Yeah, they will likely be region
B locked. Yeah, I could see

1020
01:23:09.159 --> 01:23:13.000
that on the spine here that they're
gonna be region locked. And at this

1021
01:23:13.119 --> 01:23:15.880
point maybe it's a good time for
me to confess something. Don't judge me,

1022
01:23:15.960 --> 01:23:20.119
Well, okay, fine, judge
me. I'm not region free yet.

1023
01:23:20.920 --> 01:23:27.359
I've resisted it for the reason for
the reason of it's a way of

1024
01:23:27.520 --> 01:23:31.920
filtering. It's a way of stopping
me from buying even far, far,

1025
01:23:32.079 --> 01:23:36.640
far more than I already am.
And I've already outgrown the shelf space.

1026
01:23:36.760 --> 01:23:43.640
I already have too much, and
it's not going to stop. That's just

1027
01:23:43.720 --> 01:23:49.960
been one of my own You know
hurdles, but the next Blu Ray player

1028
01:23:50.039 --> 01:23:53.720
I buy, I think will have
to be I'm not gonna be able to

1029
01:23:53.760 --> 01:23:59.279
resist anymore because stuff like this is
happening and these little outstanding to me.

1030
01:24:00.159 --> 01:24:01.920
On top of that, we kind
of just saw the perfect example of why

1031
01:24:01.960 --> 01:24:05.279
it's kind of necessary. I mean, if you wanted to see Wolf Creek

1032
01:24:05.319 --> 01:24:10.960
and HD before this, which it
came out almost twenty years ago, now,

1033
01:24:11.399 --> 01:24:14.079
you had to buy a region B
disc. If you wanted to see

1034
01:24:14.079 --> 01:24:16.359
Hannibal Rising on Blu Ray, you
had to buy a region B disc,

1035
01:24:16.520 --> 01:24:21.159
and actually I think the Hannibal one
was region free. But with places like

1036
01:24:21.279 --> 01:24:26.560
Orbit, for the most part,
you were getting especially just thinking about how

1037
01:24:26.600 --> 01:24:30.199
much you save on out of print
stuff. Mark can bring things in from

1038
01:24:30.239 --> 01:24:32.680
the UK that's in print there that's
out of print in the States, and

1039
01:24:32.720 --> 01:24:38.880
you're saving sometimes like seventy dollars for
what you'd pay on eBay. And it's

1040
01:24:38.920 --> 01:24:43.199
also it's also like a lot of
the same transfers are much cheaper in Britain

1041
01:24:43.239 --> 01:24:46.920
than they are. Hey. Rucially
here we used as a selling feature at

1042
01:24:46.960 --> 01:24:51.000
first said you'll save money, but
after a while we're like going, who

1043
01:24:51.000 --> 01:24:56.199
are we kidding, You're gonna spend
way much more money buying all this stuff,

1044
01:24:56.239 --> 01:25:01.319
so you know exactly like you know, how many boxes of junk shows

1045
01:25:01.399 --> 01:25:03.600
up on the porch room just kind
of like, oh, they're gonna sneak

1046
01:25:03.640 --> 01:25:09.680
that in. You know, it's
I mean, it would just be more

1047
01:25:09.720 --> 01:25:12.880
of that. Uh and uh,
you know, like I said, I've

1048
01:25:12.920 --> 01:25:16.840
got a you know, wife and
uh and uh four kids here and and

1049
01:25:17.039 --> 01:25:21.800
mountains and stacks i mean just off
frame here, stacks and stacks and stacks

1050
01:25:23.039 --> 01:25:27.960
of physical media Blu rays. And
yeah, this has been a way of

1051
01:25:28.239 --> 01:25:34.039
of you know, slightly suppressing that. But yeah, I appreciate the pile

1052
01:25:34.119 --> 01:25:39.920
on guys. Thanks, I'm trying
to talk you out of it. Oh

1053
01:25:40.000 --> 01:25:44.239
you are Wait a minute, the
guy who sells these for a living is

1054
01:25:44.239 --> 01:25:49.439
trying to talk me out of it. Wow, okay, it's worked with

1055
01:25:49.479 --> 01:25:56.279
everybody else. Yes, well okay, Well, you know, the time

1056
01:25:56.319 --> 01:25:59.119
will come when it's right for me, and I will I will pull the

1057
01:25:59.159 --> 01:26:04.199
trigger and do it, and then
you know, my kid's inheritance will be

1058
01:26:04.279 --> 01:26:13.399
Blu rays and my wife will maybe
uh not be happy, but anyway,

1059
01:26:14.439 --> 01:26:18.159
I'll have region free stuff, a
region region lock. What am I saying

1060
01:26:18.600 --> 01:26:24.960
Region B or whatever. Yeah,
region lock titles that nobody else can watch,

1061
01:26:25.000 --> 01:26:29.720
Jion lock titles that we can't watch
here unless okay, I'm shutting up.

1062
01:26:30.319 --> 01:26:32.680
What else you got, Ryan?
I got one of the most anticipated

1063
01:26:32.720 --> 01:26:36.399
films of the year. Neon and
Decal have already announced that they're putting out

1064
01:26:36.439 --> 01:26:41.239
Long Legs on a four K and
Blu ray release on September tenth, So

1065
01:26:41.279 --> 01:26:44.520
if you don't get to see it
when it comes out in the theaters in

1066
01:26:45.079 --> 01:26:48.279
literally like ten days, you'll get
a chance to see it in September on

1067
01:26:48.439 --> 01:26:53.840
disc and I'm sure it'll be digital
by then. But I'm dying to see

1068
01:26:53.840 --> 01:26:56.239
this movie. You guys excited for
this? Is this one that's up your

1069
01:26:56.279 --> 01:27:00.199
alley? Yeah? I don't know
toomuch about it, but what I'm hearing

1070
01:27:00.279 --> 01:27:05.680
is it's one of the best releases
this year, so at least hyped,

1071
01:27:05.840 --> 01:27:10.359
you know, So we'll see what
happens. That's that's where I'm at.

1072
01:27:11.239 --> 01:27:14.560
I'm intempted to head over to Alamo
Draft House and check it out while it's

1073
01:27:14.600 --> 01:27:20.720
there, just because it does have
buzz. But that said, you know,

1074
01:27:20.800 --> 01:27:28.680
that'd be why I'm seeing it.
They did not critics. Well,

1075
01:27:28.680 --> 01:27:32.079
it's already showed in l A right, Yeah, no, no screens in

1076
01:27:32.079 --> 01:27:36.159
Saint Louis black Coat's Daughter. Do
either of you see that that's the same

1077
01:27:36.199 --> 01:27:41.079
director, Osgoode Perkins. Nope,
yeah, yeah, I liked it.

1078
01:27:41.239 --> 01:27:44.159
I liked it. I mean it
was you know, it didn't blow me

1079
01:27:44.199 --> 01:27:48.239
away, but it is fun.
I agree, really liked that one.

1080
01:27:49.680 --> 01:27:57.880
Next is the the Paramount show Knuckles
that was only on Paramount Plus is getting

1081
01:27:57.880 --> 01:28:00.760
a physical media release, which is
kind of surprising, but I guess the

1082
01:28:00.760 --> 01:28:03.680
Sonic franchise makes them a ship ton
of money. So what they're doing is

1083
01:28:03.720 --> 01:28:08.760
they're releasing it as a Blu Ray
steel book and a standard Blu Ray release,

1084
01:28:09.039 --> 01:28:12.239
but if you want it on four
K, you can only get it

1085
01:28:12.279 --> 01:28:17.359
in a made on demand standard four
K release, not in the steel book.

1086
01:28:18.800 --> 01:28:24.760
Is that a Game of Thrones joke
on the back cover of this Knuckles

1087
01:28:25.439 --> 01:28:30.760
packaging? Absolutely it is. Yeah, okay, all right, well so

1088
01:28:30.840 --> 01:28:35.640
yeah, gotta love how they're fractioning
that that off to everybody. Yeah.

1089
01:28:35.920 --> 01:28:42.039
Yeah, if you like video games
and you like Sonic the Hedgehog, and

1090
01:28:42.119 --> 01:28:46.560
you like Game of Thrones parodies,
this release is for you. I'm wondering,

1091
01:28:46.560 --> 01:28:49.640
now, how many people will buy
the steel book and then buy the

1092
01:28:49.640 --> 01:28:55.720
four K and then put the four
K disc in the Blue Rays steel book.

1093
01:28:56.199 --> 01:28:59.399
It will happen. It will happen. That shouldn't be a lot.

1094
01:28:59.520 --> 01:29:06.319
I'm sorry, that's that's like crazy
talk. Throw they by multiple copies of

1095
01:29:06.399 --> 01:29:12.640
Knuckles. Knuckles. That's right,
give a copy to your mom. Yeah,

1096
01:29:12.920 --> 01:29:15.199
as a as a physical store that
also sells video games, bring it.

1097
01:29:15.239 --> 01:29:17.399
I mean, give me more stuff
like this. This is great.

1098
01:29:17.479 --> 01:29:21.319
Ye, it's good for business.
And and the movies. The movies were

1099
01:29:21.359 --> 01:29:25.479
fine, fun as hell they are. I'm kind of excited to see the

1100
01:29:25.520 --> 01:29:29.840
third one. Next up is that
last Walmart steel book. That is the

1101
01:29:29.880 --> 01:29:33.800
other Texas chainsaw movie leather Face from
twenty seventeen. This is just getting added

1102
01:29:33.800 --> 01:29:38.840
to that line, same date,
August twentieth, same Blu ray, same

1103
01:29:38.880 --> 01:29:44.439
steel book, same everything. Just
another one. I'll continue on the next

1104
01:29:44.439 --> 01:29:47.960
seven. Oh that that that cover. I'm sorry, I just ruined that.

1105
01:29:48.199 --> 01:29:51.039
Yes, no, no, no, that cow? That what what

1106
01:29:51.079 --> 01:29:55.880
the hell? Look at that?
It's it's like it's a cow that's head

1107
01:29:55.880 --> 01:29:58.600
exploded, its brain is out,
and this guy has a gun and it's

1108
01:29:58.640 --> 01:30:02.680
inside the brain. The cover of
this leather faced steel book. This is

1109
01:30:02.680 --> 01:30:06.359
going to be on the shelf at
Walmart. It sure is for the for

1110
01:30:06.439 --> 01:30:14.479
the Walmart Middle America Assault of the
Earth Walmart crowd to just peruse. This

1111
01:30:14.520 --> 01:30:17.840
will be right there, the same
Walmart that made them change the title of

1112
01:30:17.880 --> 01:30:23.359
Satanic Panic Two Parents so that they
could put it on their shelves. I

1113
01:30:23.479 --> 01:30:29.079
was working in my rental store one
day and this older lady comes in and

1114
01:30:29.119 --> 01:30:33.359
she goes, my grandson really loves
Michael Myers. He got any Halloween films?

1115
01:30:33.359 --> 01:30:36.039
And I was like, well,
sure, he goes, do they

1116
01:30:36.079 --> 01:30:42.039
have breasts? I'm like, going, what are you talking about? Like,

1117
01:30:42.119 --> 01:30:45.000
he goes, is there any nudity? I said, well sometimes?

1118
01:30:45.039 --> 01:30:48.039
She goes, well, we don't
let him see that. And that is

1119
01:30:48.279 --> 01:30:56.560
Middle America or just Americans in a
nutshell. Yeah. You know, knives

1120
01:30:56.600 --> 01:31:00.600
through whatever body part is fine,
but you can't have a shapur scene.

1121
01:31:00.600 --> 01:31:03.800
You know. That's that's basically what
if a knife is stabbing breasts? Is

1122
01:31:03.880 --> 01:31:10.640
that well? That that that's a
that's an enigma that my heads explode.

1123
01:31:10.640 --> 01:31:15.319
I don't know, I know,
I know it looks just like cows.

1124
01:31:15.680 --> 01:31:17.439
The covering from the screen you know
when it's happening. It's like, okay,

1125
01:31:17.479 --> 01:31:21.359
you can watch the knife part,
but not the breast part. So's

1126
01:31:21.399 --> 01:31:25.079
a big question. When it stabs
the breasts, doesn't hide the nipple,

1127
01:31:25.279 --> 01:31:28.159
that's all you have to know.
If it does, it's fine then yeah,

1128
01:31:28.359 --> 01:31:30.279
d Sidner, Yeah, the cow
does have nipples, but it's on

1129
01:31:30.319 --> 01:31:34.720
the probably on the back of the
of the thing, which we don't get

1130
01:31:34.720 --> 01:31:41.600
to see. What an utterly disgusting
joke. Oh, Sally, Okay,

1131
01:31:42.239 --> 01:31:47.399
that's not. The next Severn title
is The Mad Bomber from nineteen seventy three,

1132
01:31:47.680 --> 01:31:50.600
and I've heard nothing but good things
about this one. I've not seen

1133
01:31:50.640 --> 01:31:54.800
this one. Heard it's great,
all new four K scan. We've got

1134
01:31:54.840 --> 01:32:01.359
an audio commentary by kaylaj Denice with
retired Bomb Squad detective Digby What the Wild

1135
01:32:01.439 --> 01:32:09.920
commentary to announce we got an audio
interview with the director Bert Gordon. David

1136
01:32:09.920 --> 01:32:15.159
del Val is the one that did
that interview. Cynthia mccadams is remembered or

1137
01:32:15.199 --> 01:32:18.760
sorry, Cynthia McAdams is interviewed on
this. Patricia Gordon remembers her father on

1138
01:32:18.840 --> 01:32:25.399
this. There's a location's FEATURETTE and
a TV cut that's pretty cool. I'm

1139
01:32:25.439 --> 01:32:29.920
not saying this on either of you. I haven't the amount of VHS and

1140
01:32:29.960 --> 01:32:39.319
a different title. I remember the
cast together before, but huh yeah,

1141
01:32:39.399 --> 01:32:45.239
yeah. Maybe the police connection or
Detective Geronimo police connection rings a bell.

1142
01:32:45.960 --> 01:32:51.880
It does if I've seen It's been
so long ago, I can't remember too

1143
01:32:51.960 --> 01:32:58.039
much about it. I'm fascinated that
this is a bert Iye Gordon film,

1144
01:32:58.079 --> 01:33:02.880
albeit from maybe I don't know what
what they say bert I Gordon, mister

1145
01:33:03.079 --> 01:33:06.880
b ig, mister big, because
he worked in you know, scale Village

1146
01:33:06.880 --> 01:33:11.039
of the Giants and all this sort
of thing. The man never met a

1147
01:33:11.720 --> 01:33:16.439
gaudy matt SHOT's visual effect that he
didn't love. Does this movie have gaudy

1148
01:33:16.479 --> 01:33:19.920
matt shots? It doesn't. The
cover art is not screaming that. To

1149
01:33:20.039 --> 01:33:26.880
me, this looks like a bert
I Gordon in a different gear that you

1150
01:33:26.920 --> 01:33:30.319
don't You can't see it. But
that third window on the right there,

1151
01:33:30.479 --> 01:33:34.279
he's actually eighty four feet tall as
he's holding that woman. Now, you

1152
01:33:34.319 --> 01:33:38.520
know, reading the reading the plot
synopsis, I have seen this. It

1153
01:33:39.199 --> 01:33:43.439
was under a different title, but
at the time, you know, I

1154
01:33:43.520 --> 01:33:45.399
probably just moved on to the next
film. At the video Renal store after

1155
01:33:45.399 --> 01:33:49.479
seeing this one. But yeah,
I'll watch it again. And he's got

1156
01:33:49.520 --> 01:33:56.479
Chuck Connors very very eager to see
this one on Devil Brand too. Yeah.

1157
01:33:56.479 --> 01:34:00.199
August twenty seventh, KNO is releasing
The White Dawn from nineteen seventy four

1158
01:34:00.239 --> 01:34:04.920
with Warren Oates and Louke Gossett.
This one is gonna have an audio commentary

1159
01:34:04.960 --> 01:34:11.520
by Philip Kaufman. Introduction by Philip
Kaufman, A Welcoming the Down featurette,

1160
01:34:12.159 --> 01:34:17.039
the World of the Inuit featurette,
and that is it. But I know

1161
01:34:17.159 --> 01:34:19.720
nothing about this title. I don't
think I've ever heard of it before this.

1162
01:34:21.520 --> 01:34:25.479
I'd review it if they sent me
a copy, but I don't know

1163
01:34:25.600 --> 01:34:30.840
anything about it right now. Is
this a Philip Kaufman film, I can't.

1164
01:34:32.319 --> 01:34:35.039
Directed by Philip Coffan, okay,
And you know, but anything with

1165
01:34:35.159 --> 01:34:42.359
Warren Oates is usually worth watching just
for him. He's one of these great

1166
01:34:42.680 --> 01:34:48.720
presences in movies from the seventies and
thereabouts. He is, you know,

1167
01:34:49.119 --> 01:34:54.359
like the name war and Oates will
will pique my interest just because he is,

1168
01:34:55.159 --> 01:34:58.479
you know, so cool in the
movies like Bring Me the Head of

1169
01:34:58.479 --> 01:35:03.439
Alfredo Garcia Man my favorite Sam Ti. I don't know how this would compare

1170
01:35:03.439 --> 01:35:11.079
to that, but the White Dawn
is this one, and yeah, interesting

1171
01:35:13.279 --> 01:35:18.680
got polar bears, it does.
And this alternate cover is really desolate.

1172
01:35:19.159 --> 01:35:25.720
What the heck is going on there? It's a whole lot of nothing people

1173
01:35:25.760 --> 01:35:30.319
walking through the snow. It's true. Eureka had their announcements today September twenty

1174
01:35:30.359 --> 01:35:34.680
third. Is this first one?
This is the Champions from nineteen eighty three.

1175
01:35:35.199 --> 01:35:41.119
This is a rather obscure Golden Harvest
title. We're gonna get audio commentaries

1176
01:35:41.119 --> 01:35:45.079
on this by Frank Jang, another
one by Mike Leader and Arna Venema,

1177
01:35:45.199 --> 01:35:46.840
all of which have been on the
Channel before. Check them out. A

1178
01:35:47.039 --> 01:35:51.880
new interview with Andrew Heskins about this
new featurette by Sam who has also been

1179
01:35:51.920 --> 01:35:56.840
on the channel. They're looking at
the nineteen eighty seven Hong Kong Celebrity football

1180
01:35:56.920 --> 01:36:01.479
and soccer team that featured a number
of Hong Kong ledgen including Jackie Chan and

1181
01:36:01.479 --> 01:36:06.279
Andy Lao. I'd never seen this
one since it's been a little difficult see,

1182
01:36:06.520 --> 01:36:12.199
but man, they got a really
great lineup for this month. Sounds

1183
01:36:12.239 --> 01:36:15.159
cool. Looks like somebody on the
cover heres fell into some a big thing

1184
01:36:15.159 --> 01:36:19.520
a bubblegum. There's like a pink
splatter under this guy, and his head

1185
01:36:19.600 --> 01:36:25.640
is enormous. Is that his actual
head size? Because I don't think so.

1186
01:36:26.239 --> 01:36:28.880
But maybe the fact that they're all
posing in front of the French flag

1187
01:36:28.960 --> 01:36:31.880
helps with that. Oh that does
help. Yeah, I have a large

1188
01:36:31.880 --> 01:36:35.720
head myself, and I feel badly
because you know, it's hard to find

1189
01:36:35.760 --> 01:36:42.000
a hat. That said, I
don't know anything else about this movie looks

1190
01:36:42.039 --> 01:36:47.439
fun. Move in to their next
one, which is Two Taoist Tails.

1191
01:36:47.800 --> 01:36:51.920
This is also coming on September twenty
third on Blue and this is going to

1192
01:36:53.039 --> 01:37:00.000
include the Let's See Taoism Drunkard and
Young Taoism Fighter, and this one will

1193
01:36:59.880 --> 01:37:05.399
also have audio commentaries from Frank Jing
on both films, audio commentaries by Mike

1194
01:37:05.479 --> 01:37:10.880
Leader and Arnavenma again on both films, new interview with Yun Chung Yan,

1195
01:37:11.359 --> 01:37:15.520
new interview with the critic Andrew Heskins
again, and a booklet with new riding

1196
01:37:15.680 --> 01:37:20.960
by Southeast Asian horror expert doctor Katterzina. I again had not heard of these

1197
01:37:20.960 --> 01:37:26.520
ones. Eureka is getting some nice
obscure titles to put out though lots of

1198
01:37:26.520 --> 01:37:30.840
martial arts and it is this would
I be able to play this on my

1199
01:37:30.920 --> 01:37:34.000
region locked American player? Is this
one of those Eureka titles that it is

1200
01:37:34.039 --> 01:37:36.880
not? Everyone's shaking their head?
No, all right, moving on,

1201
01:37:38.399 --> 01:37:42.680
dang it. They has started releasing
films in the US, though they not

1202
01:37:43.520 --> 01:37:48.159
they're not matched off from like like
Aero does, Like Yeah, Canary I

1203
01:37:48.199 --> 01:37:54.319
have. This next one is maybe
the most exciting title from them this month,

1204
01:37:54.319 --> 01:37:59.800
though, and that is this complete
crime seriales from nineteen thirteen to nineteen

1205
01:37:59.800 --> 01:38:02.640
eighty team of Louis fiad Or.
I'd never say that name, right,

1206
01:38:02.680 --> 01:38:06.840
but I hope that's close. This
is an early cinematic pioneer with an undeniably

1207
01:38:06.880 --> 01:38:12.920
pervasive influence. Louis made hundreds of
films in a short career spanning only a

1208
01:38:12.920 --> 01:38:16.479
few decades. Today, he is
best remembered for his landmark serials Fantomas Le

1209
01:38:16.600 --> 01:38:21.359
Vampias, Judson Ti min I Can't
Speak French. Four crime epics that have

1210
01:38:21.439 --> 01:38:27.039
had an immeasurable impact on popular culture
around the world, and this is just

1211
01:38:27.159 --> 01:38:30.920
going to be an amazing release from
them. This is a limited edition hard

1212
01:38:30.000 --> 01:38:35.640
case box set. It includes all
four serials across ten Blu ray discs,

1213
01:38:36.039 --> 01:38:42.520
all presented in ten ADP from a
new four K restoration. We've got new

1214
01:38:42.600 --> 01:38:45.880
commentaries on select serial chapters, new
interviews with film critics and historians, a

1215
01:38:45.960 --> 01:38:54.239
collector's booklet with new and archival writing. This looks pretty brilliant. That looks

1216
01:38:54.399 --> 01:38:58.640
Yeah, I think we were discussing
this today. It's like, is this

1217
01:38:58.760 --> 01:39:05.000
Eureka's first, like big box set, not the first because they did the

1218
01:39:05.319 --> 01:39:11.880
late Mizgucci a long time ago.
Yeah, but it's been like a long

1219
01:39:12.000 --> 01:39:16.199
time, a long time. Yeah. This We're we all perked up and

1220
01:39:16.279 --> 01:39:20.680
we saw this announcement. This,
this, this looks absolutely fantastic and this

1221
01:39:21.039 --> 01:39:26.840
could be a top of the year
for me, just knowing the quality that

1222
01:39:26.920 --> 01:39:31.039
Eureka has already. I can't wait. I can't wait for this one.

1223
01:39:31.560 --> 01:39:36.800
Yeah. Well old silent cereals from
from France. Uh, super cool.

1224
01:39:38.600 --> 01:39:44.800
Just just I haven't seen the entire
LIVM here that's how it's pronounced. But

1225
01:39:44.960 --> 01:39:51.000
I do believe that it's true that
the cat suit we see the girl wearing

1226
01:39:51.119 --> 01:39:58.439
here is only worn briefly in one
of the episodes of the thirteen part series.

1227
01:39:58.600 --> 01:40:05.079
So if you're show and are considering
this substantial purchase on the grounds of

1228
01:40:06.760 --> 01:40:12.159
silent fetale Girl in a cat suit. Just know there ain't that much of

1229
01:40:12.319 --> 01:40:17.039
it, but that said, these
are all worthy titles. Aside from that,

1230
01:40:19.720 --> 01:40:24.800
Yeah, heard nothing but great things
about this set, loving some silence.

1231
01:40:25.199 --> 01:40:30.359
Eager to see this then out of
nowhere. Even though they announced this

1232
01:40:30.439 --> 01:40:33.960
a couple of years ago, Sinnapps
Today said, Hey, Blue Sunshine on

1233
01:40:34.079 --> 01:40:39.000
four K is ready and shipping now. This is from nineteen seventy seven.

1234
01:40:39.439 --> 01:40:42.119
This as a four K disc,
a Blu ray disc, and a CD

1235
01:40:42.239 --> 01:40:45.479
soundtrack, strictly limited to four thousand
copies, but it's synaps, which means

1236
01:40:45.760 --> 01:40:49.600
they'll most likely do a standard the
moment this sells out, This is going

1237
01:40:49.680 --> 01:40:54.840
to have all kinds of stuff.
Featuring Jeff Lieberman on here. Two commentaries,

1238
01:40:54.920 --> 01:40:58.720
new intro to the film, A
two thousand and three interview Lieberman on

1239
01:40:58.840 --> 01:41:03.319
Lieberman featurette interview with Mick Garrison Jeff
Lieberman at the Fantasia International Film Festival.

1240
01:41:04.000 --> 01:41:11.680
There's two AGFA. AGFA handed them
two of their anti drug scare films.

1241
01:41:11.720 --> 01:41:16.760
You got LSD twenty five and LSD
Insight or Insanity, and we've got a

1242
01:41:17.880 --> 01:41:24.079
commentary on the uncut version of Lieberman's
first film, The Ringer by Jeff Lieberman

1243
01:41:24.159 --> 01:41:27.600
and Howards Berger, and then the
liner Notes all done by Lieberman. So

1244
01:41:27.720 --> 01:41:33.640
basically Jeff Lieberman handed this entire release
over to Synapse himself. This looks like

1245
01:41:33.680 --> 01:41:39.039
a solid release, great movie.
This movie has been released before on Blu

1246
01:41:39.199 --> 01:41:43.239
ray and yeah, this is a
big deal. How do you guys feel

1247
01:41:43.279 --> 01:41:47.399
about this? I love that great? Yeah, big fan of this film.

1248
01:41:48.119 --> 01:41:53.520
Looks good. You can get it
direct from Synaps or Diabolic DVD.

1249
01:41:56.159 --> 01:42:00.199
Yeah, I would check it out. Although it is fifty dollars. What,

1250
01:42:00.399 --> 01:42:03.880
oh dollars? All right, I
guess I have to save up for

1251
01:42:04.000 --> 01:42:12.680
it then most lawns or something.
Today is the launch of the newest Keno

01:42:26.840 --> 01:42:32.960
diehard some of those will sell out
quickly and sometimes titles, certain titles will

1256
01:42:33.039 --> 01:42:38.159
go the first day. I somehow
missed this. I usually put in an

1257
01:42:38.359 --> 01:42:42.800
order, you know, to get
to the free fifty dollars shipping threshold.

1258
01:42:42.840 --> 01:42:45.800
If that's still the threshold, Yes
it is, I see that on here

1259
01:42:45.119 --> 01:42:49.800
free shipping USA shipping is fifty dollars
or more. Yep, somehow I missed

1260
01:42:49.880 --> 01:42:57.680
this announcement today. So I will
be seeing you fellas later. I'm gonna

1261
01:42:57.760 --> 01:43:04.279
go do some some shopping from the
company that's treated in zekefilm dot org so

1262
01:43:04.439 --> 01:43:10.479
well Keno loy Well. Not to
make anybody feel jealous or like they missed

1263
01:43:10.479 --> 01:43:13.960
out on anything, I haven't checked
the stock counts, but wanted to highlight

1264
01:43:14.119 --> 01:43:18.840
Hamilton Book again this week. Monday
night of this week, they posted their

1265
01:43:18.920 --> 01:43:24.039
monthly Every four weeks they post like
a brand new set of titles, and

1266
01:43:24.239 --> 01:43:28.479
this time they got a ton of
Keno Laber titles. Many of them were

1267
01:43:28.760 --> 01:43:33.319
cheaper than the sale prices, even
as low as five dollars. If you're

1268
01:43:33.479 --> 01:43:36.640
going to make a Kenot purchase,
you may want to go check that out.

1269
01:43:36.960 --> 01:43:41.960
There might be some on there that
you're after. And it's it's looking

1270
01:43:42.039 --> 01:43:45.600
good. And I will say the
Hamilton Books site and the Kena Lber site

1271
01:43:45.640 --> 01:43:51.439
both stuttered from their popularity this week. Both had major server problems. I

1272
01:43:51.560 --> 01:43:56.159
love, love, love Hamilton Books
but yeah, that night was not fun

1273
01:43:57.039 --> 01:43:59.399
because you know, it's like I
was trying to get on there, and

1274
01:43:59.439 --> 01:44:02.199
finally I get up around four am. My dog woke me up, so

1275
01:44:02.600 --> 01:44:06.840
I went and checked, and of
course then it was active, and then

1276
01:44:06.880 --> 01:44:12.079
I had to go through the process
of narrowing down my cart from the twenty

1277
01:44:12.439 --> 01:44:18.520
things I threw in just perusing the
sale. It was a great amount of

1278
01:44:18.600 --> 01:44:23.159
stuff that they had available. A
lot of it Ryan by now is gone

1279
01:44:23.239 --> 01:44:27.560
though. Yeah, they only had
two or three or four copies of some

1280
01:44:27.680 --> 01:44:30.159
of those, and yeah, so
a lot of it is just gone now,

1281
01:44:30.640 --> 01:44:36.159
unfortunately. And people like me,
we weren't there when the site came

1282
01:44:36.239 --> 01:44:40.079
right back up, and we just
missed out on certain things. But you

1283
01:44:40.159 --> 01:44:44.319
know, that's okay, that's life. Life goes on and there's always another

1284
01:44:44.399 --> 01:44:46.479
Keno sale around the corner. Correct, Oh, and here it is.

1285
01:44:48.920 --> 01:44:53.479
There's been a lot of people asking
what film this picture is from today.

1286
01:44:53.479 --> 01:44:56.399
A lot of people did not recognize
it. This is rent a Cop that

1287
01:44:56.479 --> 01:44:58.880
they put out in the last year. So if you were, oh,

1288
01:44:58.960 --> 01:45:00.880
man, what is this rent a
Cop? Is the title that you're after,

1289
01:45:01.079 --> 01:45:03.880
Well, that's a Burt Reynolds movie, and that's not Burt Reynolds.

1290
01:45:04.439 --> 01:45:08.399
So the next question weird that they
went with it. Who the heck is

1291
01:45:08.479 --> 01:45:14.000
that guy? That's that one dude? Oh sure, Oh of course,

1292
01:45:14.680 --> 01:45:18.439
all right, that one dude,
Thank you, Moving right along. Totem

1293
01:45:18.800 --> 01:45:24.680
was announced today as the next Janis
contemporary title coming out from Criterion. This

1294
01:45:24.840 --> 01:45:29.119
is a twenty twenty three film releasing
on Blu ray and DVD on September tenth.

1295
01:45:29.600 --> 01:45:32.359
And as usual, we're gonna have
a trailer and a Meet the Filmmaker

1296
01:45:32.520 --> 01:45:36.000
interview with the director, and that
is it. But this film sounds pretty

1297
01:45:36.039 --> 01:45:40.359
good, it says. In a
bustling Mexican household, seven year old Soul

1298
01:45:40.479 --> 01:45:45.199
is swept up in the whirlwind of
preparations for her terminally ill father's birthday party,

1299
01:45:45.720 --> 01:45:47.680
led by her mother, aunts,
and other relatives. As the day

1300
01:45:47.720 --> 01:45:51.720
builds to an event both anticipated and
dreaded, Soul and her family begin to

1301
01:45:51.880 --> 01:45:59.039
understand the gravity of this year's celebration. Lyla Aviles directs a dynamic ensemble cast

1302
01:45:59.079 --> 01:46:01.760
with the stunning soft more effort,
a warmly observed, poignantly funny, and

1303
01:46:01.800 --> 01:46:09.880
emotionally expensive study of the sorry expansive
not expensive, emotionally expansive study of the

1304
01:46:09.920 --> 01:46:14.600
ways we cope with grief. Yeah, this sounds good. This sounds really

1305
01:46:14.640 --> 01:46:18.000
good. I'm not familiar with this
film, but yeah, it does sound

1306
01:46:19.079 --> 01:46:25.720
quite good. Janice Contemporaries. I'm
really glad that they started this new line

1307
01:46:25.760 --> 01:46:29.800
and we're getting some modern films that
are underseen. A lot of these so

1308
01:46:29.880 --> 01:46:35.199
far have been like film festival favorites
that wouldn't have gotten releases but maybe from

1309
01:46:35.279 --> 01:46:39.560
like movie in the UK, and
so just to get more eyes on it.

1310
01:46:39.640 --> 01:46:42.279
And then these come out from the
Criterion sale for fifteen bucks. That's

1311
01:46:42.279 --> 01:46:45.319
a pretty great deal. Yeah,
the price points really good on these,

1312
01:46:45.439 --> 01:46:47.359
so that's great. It's great.
You know, I don't know if this

1313
01:46:47.479 --> 01:46:50.520
is too much of an industry secret
mark. I've had a few people ask

1314
01:46:50.640 --> 01:46:56.359
me for places like Orbit. The
price that you guys get charged, from

1315
01:46:56.399 --> 01:47:00.560
what I've heard, is higher than
that fifteen dollars sale price. Do you

1316
01:47:00.760 --> 01:47:04.800
stock up during some of these sales
at the fifteen dollars to save some cash?

1317
01:47:05.600 --> 01:47:12.279
M Maybe earlier days I did,
but I we're just too busy now

1318
01:47:12.439 --> 01:47:16.079
to even bother with that. Can't
chase it? Yeah, yeah, and

1319
01:47:16.279 --> 01:47:18.760
and we you know, we we've
worked out some really good deals with you

1320
01:47:18.840 --> 01:47:24.640
know, we ordered direct from Criterion
and Kino and and I ordered direct from

1321
01:47:24.640 --> 01:47:28.199
a lot of places now, so
so we're getting the best deals that they're

1322
01:47:28.439 --> 01:47:34.399
they're willing to give. You know, I don't let lower prices worry me

1323
01:47:34.640 --> 01:47:41.279
like that because you know, we
we have an established customer base. They

1324
01:47:41.800 --> 01:47:46.279
buy from us for a reason.
Yeah, and and ultimately I'll find out

1325
01:47:46.319 --> 01:47:50.319
it evens out. You know,
it's like we're you know, you always

1326
01:47:50.359 --> 01:47:54.520
have to look at Amazon, and
we see a lot of times that we're

1327
01:47:54.640 --> 01:47:59.159
cheaper than Amazon, you know,
so so you know, it's like I

1328
01:47:59.199 --> 01:48:02.439
said, it all is out out
there. Well. The bigger reason for

1329
01:48:02.600 --> 01:48:04.800
me, which a lot of people
in the chat already know this, but

1330
01:48:05.039 --> 01:48:09.239
just in case you've somehow never bought
from Orbit DVD, which first of all,

1331
01:48:09.520 --> 01:48:12.319
how could you? But second of
all, one of the biggest things

1332
01:48:12.479 --> 01:48:16.520
is Amazon nowadays is delaying everything.
Like most people aren't getting releases, not

1333
01:48:16.640 --> 01:48:19.880
even just not on day one,
but for weeks and weeks after release.

1334
01:48:20.359 --> 01:48:24.119
Most of the time. With Orbit
you'll get it before the release date.

1335
01:48:24.279 --> 01:48:28.520
And that's kind of hard to argue
with. Yeah, I mean, you

1336
01:48:28.600 --> 01:48:31.520
know, they Amazon is not doing
sales any favors at all with this,

1337
01:48:31.720 --> 01:48:35.520
you know, did they even care
about physical medium or think they begrudgingly do

1338
01:48:35.640 --> 01:48:40.680
it? You know, I don't
know, it's like just do the studio's

1339
01:48:40.720 --> 01:48:43.760
favors to get streaming rights. I
don't know, you know. So so

1340
01:48:44.840 --> 01:48:49.800
you know, like one by one
we have one people over and they can

1341
01:48:49.920 --> 01:48:56.439
keep screwing things up all they want
as far as I'm concerned. So you

1342
01:48:56.520 --> 01:48:58.920
know, it's funny, you know, you meant you know, you mentioned

1343
01:48:58.960 --> 01:49:01.800
diabolic and whatnot. We we've all
talked like, you know, me,

1344
01:49:02.319 --> 01:49:06.279
Mike and Jesse and stuff like that, so we all in agreement. Actually,

1345
01:49:06.520 --> 01:49:11.039
Mike is from Grindhouse, is just
two hours away from me. He's

1346
01:49:11.079 --> 01:49:15.800
in Noxvil, Tennessee. So so
we try to see each other when I'm

1347
01:49:15.840 --> 01:49:17.800
in town and stuff sometimes. But
you know, we're all in agreement that,

1348
01:49:18.000 --> 01:49:23.039
like, you know, the real
competition out there is is the corporate

1349
01:49:23.520 --> 01:49:29.319
places that that's really who we consider
to be, you know, the ones

1350
01:49:29.399 --> 01:49:31.239
that we were trying to take the
business away from out there. You know.

1351
01:49:31.840 --> 01:49:36.119
So it it's been it's been an
interesting you know, it's big enough

1352
01:49:36.159 --> 01:49:39.000
for all of us, I guess, but you know, it's like like

1353
01:49:39.279 --> 01:49:45.399
Uh, as as people get more
bent steel books from Amazon, or you

1354
01:49:45.479 --> 01:49:48.680
know, you hear about Zombie's customer
service, you know, things like that.

1355
01:49:48.920 --> 01:49:54.880
It's just you know, it's it's
it's just it's just interesting to see

1356
01:49:55.920 --> 01:50:00.880
how how it's how it's evolved out
there. Then, you know, going

1357
01:50:00.920 --> 01:50:02.840
back to your original question, Uh, if I do see a good deal

1358
01:50:02.920 --> 01:50:06.600
somewhere and I have time, yeah, I'll probably pick some stuff up and

1359
01:50:06.880 --> 01:50:11.720
then we like sometimes we we will
get stuff at full price, like like

1360
01:50:13.399 --> 01:50:16.479
we picked up some limited umbrella sets
just on a whim really because we get

1361
01:50:16.520 --> 01:50:21.079
asked so much for them. Yeah, you know, like that the customer

1362
01:50:21.159 --> 01:50:24.800
says on shipping, you know,
like right, you know, so so

1363
01:50:25.039 --> 01:50:30.239
that they are saving money ultimately.
But earlier days, I used to just

1364
01:50:30.880 --> 01:50:35.079
scour the internet like looking for anything, you know, and and you know

1365
01:50:35.239 --> 01:50:39.600
I would get you know, a
shout would have a sale or you know,

1366
01:50:39.680 --> 01:50:41.600
something like that. I would get
as much as I possibly could.

1367
01:50:41.680 --> 01:50:46.439
But yeah, that it doesn't marry
more. We'll go one more orbit question

1368
01:50:46.560 --> 01:50:50.159
before we go. I think we
got three more announcements left. Humboldt Horror

1369
01:50:50.199 --> 01:50:55.600
Honey wants to know will you ever
carry stuff from the chet Quiffume in France.

1370
01:50:56.039 --> 01:50:59.039
I know, I think a lot
of their titles are not English friendly

1371
01:50:59.359 --> 01:51:01.079
and that and that's yeah, that's
it. Yeah, we we a lot

1372
01:51:01.119 --> 01:51:05.279
of times, uh we we want
to carry this stuff. We have access

1373
01:51:05.359 --> 01:51:10.119
to it. Actually, is this
the fact that like they're not bothering with

1374
01:51:10.159 --> 01:51:14.720
the English speaking market, so so
they're they're subtitled in either German or French

1375
01:51:14.840 --> 01:51:19.000
or Italy, Italian or whatever.
That happens a lot with with German titles

1376
01:51:19.039 --> 01:51:23.680
as well. Uh, you know, like so cool Martyrs on four K

1377
01:51:23.920 --> 01:51:27.199
or something. And it's like,
well, if we can't unless you know

1378
01:51:27.279 --> 01:51:30.079
French or German or Italian, you're
you're not gonna be able to understand the

1379
01:51:30.119 --> 01:51:34.800
film. So we we can look
at them again, we have looked at

1380
01:51:34.800 --> 01:51:40.920
them in the past. We we
I have a pretty incredible uh uh coworker

1381
01:51:41.039 --> 01:51:46.479
that she makes her a mission to
find everything and she is literally scouring the

1382
01:51:46.600 --> 01:51:53.199
planet looking for you know, the
most obscure releases out there sometimes and and

1383
01:51:53.520 --> 01:51:59.720
uh we have we have approached you
know, many companies directly. And if

1384
01:51:59.760 --> 01:52:03.119
we're carrying something, let's just say
that there's either an issue like a subtitle

1385
01:52:03.159 --> 01:52:08.079
issue or a dubbing issue or they're
just not responding to us, and that

1386
01:52:08.439 --> 01:52:13.359
happens a lot too, but less
and less. But yeah, you know,

1387
01:52:13.960 --> 01:52:16.960
we can look again. If there's
any English friendly titles out there,

1388
01:52:17.399 --> 01:52:21.439
we can probably pick them up.
Yeah. I think they've done like five

1389
01:52:21.560 --> 01:52:25.760
or six that were English friendly,
and that is it from their entire catalog,

1390
01:52:25.840 --> 01:52:29.880
which is they've done a lot.
They do really good work. Yeah.

1391
01:52:29.920 --> 01:52:31.800
Yeah, we keep sort of half
an eye on them, and they

1392
01:52:31.880 --> 01:52:36.359
always pop out something that really blows
us away and then we look. It's

1393
01:52:36.399 --> 01:52:44.279
like, at least you're trying.
We're trying. Yeah, all right,

1394
01:52:44.399 --> 01:52:47.119
couple left. Speaking of Altraed Innocence, like I mentioned earlier, you Are

1395
01:52:47.239 --> 01:52:51.119
Not Alone is their next announcement.
This is coming on September tenth on Blu

1396
01:52:51.279 --> 01:52:57.039
Rain DVD. This does not appear
to have a slipcover release coming. You

1397
01:52:57.119 --> 01:53:00.880
can already pre order this from places
like Diabolic DVD. Is this up on

1398
01:53:00.920 --> 01:53:03.039
your site? Yet? Do you
know mark it will be? We do

1399
01:53:03.199 --> 01:53:08.640
carry you know, after Altered Innocence
splinter off, we are still carrying their

1400
01:53:08.640 --> 01:53:12.520
product. Yep. The fact that
that that Ozon collection is doing very well,

1401
01:53:12.720 --> 01:53:17.079
so yeah, this one looks to
be a little light for altered Innocence.

1402
01:53:17.159 --> 01:53:19.920
Usually they've got a bunch of special
features, but they don't have much

1403
01:53:20.000 --> 01:53:23.760
on this. It looks to be
like one that they couldn't do very much

1404
01:53:23.840 --> 01:53:27.199
for, so they're not putting as
much as they can into the slipcover and

1405
01:53:27.279 --> 01:53:29.600
all that other stuff. But I've
heard this is a really great film.

1406
01:53:30.600 --> 01:53:32.479
Very very curious to see this.
Although this did have a Blu Ray released

1407
01:53:32.560 --> 01:53:35.279
prior, so yeah, yeah,
yeah, I want to say I have

1408
01:53:35.399 --> 01:53:43.800
seen this previously somewhere else. So
yeah, maybe it was confusing titles,

1409
01:53:44.960 --> 01:53:48.479
it could be. Yeah, such
a nega one go ahead. Such a

1410
01:53:48.560 --> 01:53:54.159
memorable cover on that one. It
is. Yeah, it actually does look

1411
01:53:54.359 --> 01:53:56.640
quite nice. It looks like a
painting, but just at a glance,

1412
01:53:56.680 --> 01:54:02.079
it does look like a kind of
you know, throw away, a candid

1413
01:54:02.159 --> 01:54:05.880
shot. Yeah, Stan says it's
a lovely film. I will have to

1414
01:54:05.960 --> 01:54:13.760
check it out. Yeah. Succession
the TV show is getting a full complete

1415
01:54:13.880 --> 01:54:18.279
series mod Blu ray release from Warner
Brothers that's coming on August thirteenth. You

1416
01:54:18.319 --> 01:54:21.520
can pre order this now. You've
got all thirty nine episodes of the show.

1417
01:54:21.600 --> 01:54:26.359
You've got twenty hours of bonus features, including some character recaps, some

1418
01:54:26.560 --> 01:54:30.800
casting crew interviews, and more.
I have not watched any of this yet,

1419
01:54:30.880 --> 01:54:32.760
but it is on my list to
watch soon because I hear it's amazing.

1420
01:54:33.720 --> 01:54:39.279
I'm gonna definitely check this out.
I haven't seen a second of it,

1421
01:54:39.520 --> 01:54:46.760
but everybody says it's great. Yeah, I don't know. I don't

1422
01:54:46.760 --> 01:54:51.439
know that I'm buy it. I
can't commit to TV shows, I mean,

1423
01:54:51.920 --> 01:54:56.199
even a great one, like two
or three seasons in, I'm done

1424
01:54:57.039 --> 01:55:04.840
unless they're baking what's that they're baking? Yes, I liked like He's found

1425
01:55:05.000 --> 01:55:09.680
down I can handle because it was
like this. Literally it was like twelve

1426
01:55:10.399 --> 01:55:15.399
season for four seasons, you know, so I know the decorator on that

1427
01:55:15.520 --> 01:55:18.319
one. Yeah, they said it
was an adventure making that series. I

1428
01:55:18.399 --> 01:55:21.039
bet I bet that doesn't hell a
lot. I mean for a lot of

1429
01:55:21.039 --> 01:55:26.880
people seem like it's a hell of
a lot of fun to do. Uh.

1430
01:55:27.079 --> 01:55:30.359
Then another show, Vikings of Valhalla
season one is getting a Blu Ray

1431
01:55:30.439 --> 01:55:34.319
release on August twenty seventh. You've
got all eight episodes of this one with

1432
01:55:34.600 --> 01:55:41.079
it appears to be no special features. This one is still coming out that

1433
01:55:41.159 --> 01:55:45.560
You've got the third and final season
premiering on Netflix on July eleventh of this

1434
01:55:45.760 --> 01:55:51.079
year. And then finally, Oh, go ahead, Jim, I'm just

1435
01:55:51.119 --> 01:55:57.159
gonna just say Vikings Valhalla. That's
that's my eighteen year old son's department,

1436
01:55:59.039 --> 01:56:03.640
all things Viking, Nordic mythology,
dungeons and dragons, Jason to whatever.

1437
01:56:05.479 --> 01:56:13.119
Yeah, I don't know, he's
probably watched this already pass And then finally

1438
01:56:13.800 --> 01:56:18.960
BBC is putting out one of their
Nature documentaries narrated by Sir David Attenborough Mammals

1439
01:56:19.560 --> 01:56:24.720
Born to Survive, Built to Thrive. This is coming on Blu Ray on

1440
01:56:24.760 --> 01:56:28.560
August twenty seventh, which is kind
of wild. The BBC documentaries have been

1441
01:56:28.600 --> 01:56:30.840
coming out in four K. It's
kind of weird to not do this one

1442
01:56:30.880 --> 01:56:35.319
in four Kah's I would be interested
in seeing it. They always do pretty

1443
01:56:35.359 --> 01:56:42.319
incredible work. It's mammals, mammals, Mas deserve to be in four K.

1444
01:56:43.279 --> 01:56:47.560
I think this is the one.
Is this streaming because my sixteen year

1445
01:56:47.560 --> 01:56:53.520
old daughter and her boyfriend were watching
one of these BBC Nature things the other

1446
01:56:53.640 --> 01:56:57.359
night and it's just like, seriously, you know, I mean they're good,

1447
01:56:57.560 --> 01:57:00.680
they're well done, but you know, it's like, I don't know,

1448
01:57:00.800 --> 01:57:03.119
it's just like, I wouldn't have
It wouldn't have occurred to me to

1449
01:57:04.199 --> 01:57:08.560
that, to have this be the
go to stuff when you're you know,

1450
01:57:08.720 --> 01:57:15.199
sixteen and you've got your you know, you're you're snuggly pooh with you anyway,

1451
01:57:15.000 --> 01:57:19.479
This is yeah, mammals, mammals, Yeah, mammals, bring it,

1452
01:57:21.479 --> 01:57:26.800
mammals, Mark you just got no, Yeah, mammals. Big fan

1453
01:57:26.920 --> 01:57:33.119
of mammals. Yes, as mammals, mammals in general. Not I haven't

1454
01:57:33.119 --> 01:57:39.000
seen the show. Yes, the
show mammals. It's no succession, but

1455
01:57:39.279 --> 01:57:44.880
you know mammals. Uh. The
the title from Deaf Crocodile that we've been

1456
01:57:44.920 --> 01:57:49.560
hearing about for a while, King
Stack, that is releasing tomorrow from Diabolic

1457
01:57:49.640 --> 01:57:54.479
DVD. If you want the Deluxe
edition. It'll be available everywhere else soon

1458
01:57:54.720 --> 01:57:58.760
as well, so check that out. The last thing isn't really an announcement,

1459
01:57:59.399 --> 01:58:02.960
but is coming up on that time
where we talk about Vinegar Syndrome Summer

1460
01:58:03.039 --> 01:58:08.359
Subscriber Week, and I wanted to
highlight these because it is starting before our

1461
01:58:08.439 --> 01:58:13.439
next show next week. The big
one is that we are getting brand new

1462
01:58:13.520 --> 01:58:17.159
titles every single day for a week, starting on Monday. Monday, we

1463
01:58:17.239 --> 01:58:23.159
get three vinegar Syndrome titles, fourteen
partner label titles. Tuesday, a new

1464
01:58:23.239 --> 01:58:28.760
cinematograph title. Wednesday, a new
VSP Thursday, there's some new merch Friday,

1465
01:58:28.920 --> 01:58:33.079
a Degausser video title, Saturday of
VSA, and Sunday a VSL.

1466
01:58:34.640 --> 01:58:38.159
How do you feel about that mark? You buried your head there for a

1467
01:58:38.199 --> 01:58:44.720
second. I love them. Vinner
Syndrome is really the first company that started

1468
01:58:44.720 --> 01:58:48.319
working with us, even before we
went online. However, I'll have to

1469
01:58:48.359 --> 01:58:56.000
sit by the computer on the first, second, third, and four to

1470
01:58:56.119 --> 01:59:00.279
make sure we're not missing anything.
I was driving home from the each and

1471
01:59:00.359 --> 01:59:03.800
we missed out on the slip cover
of the intermission. Hey, folks,

1472
01:59:03.840 --> 01:59:11.399
intermission time release, which I really
wanted I have right now. I used

1473
01:59:11.399 --> 01:59:14.119
to have all something weird tastes anyway, you know. It's like you have,

1474
01:59:14.439 --> 01:59:16.560
you know, as a customer from
their website, you have to be

1475
01:59:16.720 --> 01:59:21.600
there when it drops. I have
to be there when it drops, you

1476
01:59:21.680 --> 01:59:25.720
know. So it's like which I
love. It's an even playing field,

1477
01:59:25.800 --> 01:59:31.359
really, but I'm excited. I'm
excited they They keep surprising me every single

1478
01:59:31.479 --> 01:59:36.000
month about what they're putting out,
So as usual, this is the last

1479
01:59:36.079 --> 01:59:40.239
chance to become a subscriber for any
time. In twenty twenty four for Vinegar

1480
01:59:40.319 --> 01:59:45.039
Syndrome, there's a brand new,
refreshed section of deals and discounted items,

1481
01:59:45.439 --> 01:59:49.199
including you get five times their rewards
points next week for shopping during that time.

1482
01:59:49.680 --> 01:59:54.359
And they did something new this time. If you spend over twenty dollars

1483
01:59:54.520 --> 01:59:59.760
every single day, you'll get a
bonus seven hundred points for their reward system.

1484
02:00:00.079 --> 02:00:02.680
Which, man, they're really trying
to get you here. They're just

1485
02:00:02.920 --> 02:00:08.720
they're just so blatant about just wanting
our money. I mean, yeah,

1486
02:00:08.760 --> 02:00:13.119
all these businesses want our money.
But man, this is next level,

1487
02:00:13.199 --> 02:00:15.960
isn't it. You know, Oh
my gosh, And and you you know

1488
02:00:16.079 --> 02:00:21.399
it's Vinegar Center. What are you
gonna do? I These these subscriber week

1489
02:00:21.479 --> 02:00:29.880
sales are are have are also some
favorite things of mine, aside from the

1490
02:00:29.960 --> 02:00:34.239
weekly Reconnected podcast. Really, you
know, uh, the these these things

1491
02:00:34.279 --> 02:00:39.359
when when they start doing these at
noon, you know, twelve oh one,

1492
02:00:39.720 --> 02:00:44.199
eleven o'clock our time. Uh,
they drop these these say, these

1493
02:00:44.319 --> 02:00:48.279
these deals every day, and I
find myself, you know, kind of

1494
02:00:48.640 --> 02:00:53.800
scheduling my day around it, you
know, because because it's like, man,

1495
02:00:54.199 --> 02:00:57.399
it's like, what's today, what's
today gonna be? And and uh,

1496
02:00:57.720 --> 02:00:59.439
you know, next thing, I
know, I've got a box of

1497
02:00:59.520 --> 02:01:02.880
crap on the way. It's like, what did I do? I just

1498
02:01:03.000 --> 02:01:08.039
bought like, you know, all
these things sight unseen, you know,

1499
02:01:08.119 --> 02:01:13.000
because they're twelve dollars or fifteen dollars
or whatever. And I have a blast

1500
02:01:13.079 --> 02:01:15.079
with it. And by the time
we get to Sunday and then the next

1501
02:01:15.159 --> 02:01:18.520
Monday comes around, I've kind of
gotten used to it, and it feels

1502
02:01:18.640 --> 02:01:24.319
like like something's missing in my day. Now, something's missing. You know.

1503
02:01:25.000 --> 02:01:35.760
It's called an addiction. Jim the
Saratoga they had to go there for

1504
02:01:35.880 --> 02:01:39.600
people that were gonna have questions about
this. A couple of things that we

1505
02:01:39.640 --> 02:01:42.319
should say. You don't have to
be a subscriber to get the deals.

1506
02:01:42.600 --> 02:01:46.159
Anybody can get those. I never
was just talking about never been a subscriber

1507
02:01:46.319 --> 02:01:49.720
yet. If you do want to
become a subscriber for the rest of the

1508
02:01:49.800 --> 02:01:55.439
year, the subscription cost is four
hundred and seventy five dollars if you want

1509
02:01:55.479 --> 02:01:59.000
the standard shipping, five hundred and
thirty five for the deluxe shipping, which

1510
02:01:59.039 --> 02:02:02.720
I believe is just deck shipping.
That's the deluxe. If you're in Canada,

1511
02:02:02.840 --> 02:02:05.479
it is five hundred and thirty five
dollars. If you're international, it

1512
02:02:05.600 --> 02:02:10.279
is five hundred and seventy five dollars. And uh yeah, you can subscribe

1513
02:02:10.279 --> 02:02:13.640
at any point during the week.
You can add your order throughout the week.

1514
02:02:13.800 --> 02:02:16.399
There's going to be all of those
drops that I said every single day,

1515
02:02:16.439 --> 02:02:20.359
and then they will begin shipping all
those orders in mid July ish.

1516
02:02:21.039 --> 02:02:25.359
I know that there's still some people
that still haven't got their sale order from

1517
02:02:25.439 --> 02:02:29.840
May. It'll happen. They're still
shipping stuff. It'll come. They always

1518
02:02:29.880 --> 02:02:32.880
come through. Yeah, it takes
a while, but it's worth the way

1519
02:02:34.840 --> 02:02:39.239
I took it down and your centrum
steams to you. But there's still a

1520
02:02:39.399 --> 02:02:42.479
fairly small company in the grand scheme
of things. They're certainly not Amazon,

1521
02:02:43.239 --> 02:02:47.720
no no, but they're they're also
not Golden Ninja. I mean, you

1522
02:02:47.800 --> 02:02:53.479
know they got people working in there. It's true, that's true. Yeah.

1523
02:02:53.520 --> 02:02:56.359
I took a tour of the I
took a tour of the in Connecticut,

1524
02:02:56.560 --> 02:03:01.760
and yeah, they're they're working,
they're working, they got all Yeah.

1525
02:03:02.640 --> 02:03:05.600
As always, before we go through
our film discussion, we talked about

1526
02:03:05.600 --> 02:03:09.640
what's coming out next week in case
you forgot. We got that Taxi Driver

1527
02:03:09.760 --> 02:03:13.000
steel book that Mark brought up at
the beginning, Anchorman four K, that

1528
02:03:13.159 --> 02:03:16.520
Pat Garrett that Mark showed us,
UHF four K, the Guyver four K,

1529
02:03:17.039 --> 02:03:21.000
some Keino four ks with narrow margin
and blown away point break four K

1530
02:03:21.239 --> 02:03:26.800
goes wide. Who's that girl with
Madonna from Shout Select. We've got a

1531
02:03:27.159 --> 02:03:30.800
natural Born Killers four K steel going
wide as well. Some Lionsgate steel books

1532
02:03:30.840 --> 02:03:36.119
dropping at Walmart. We've got film
masters doing under Western stars in Kentucky Rifle

1533
02:03:36.199 --> 02:03:42.119
like we talked about just last week, kidnapped from Cohen Media, that really

1534
02:03:42.159 --> 02:03:46.119
odd cocaine bear steel book, and
that is it. Well, who's who's

1535
02:03:46.199 --> 02:03:51.239
putting out the four K of Rescue
from Gilligan's Island. I wasn't mentioning that

1536
02:03:51.359 --> 02:03:56.920
because it's literally somebody in their garage
doing it. Oh of course, Well

1537
02:03:56.960 --> 02:04:00.279
it made the cut on your graphics, so you know I did make the

1538
02:04:00.359 --> 02:04:03.039
graphic. This is oh globle,
this is blu r out. Okay,

1539
02:04:03.319 --> 02:04:08.600
my mistake. Moving on then,
because yeah, I mean escape from Gilligan's

1540
02:04:08.640 --> 02:04:13.079
Island or whatever is got to be, Like I mean that was on TV,

1541
02:04:13.399 --> 02:04:16.920
right, was that ever possible anyway? I don't know, might have

1542
02:04:17.039 --> 02:04:21.079
been on VHS at one point too. It's a head scratcher. Yeah,

1543
02:04:21.760 --> 02:04:26.800
I remember watching it as a kid
and thinking this movie's bad, and back

1544
02:04:26.880 --> 02:04:30.640
then I had no discernment, so
it must be truly bad. But you

1545
02:04:30.680 --> 02:04:33.960
know, will four K help it
out of someone's garage? We'll see,

1546
02:04:36.039 --> 02:04:39.840
Mark, you're already shipping a bunch
of these. Any of these that you're

1547
02:04:40.000 --> 02:04:45.039
extra excited about other than Pat Harrett
and Billy the Kid. Uh, well,

1548
02:04:45.279 --> 02:04:50.600
just to get past Taxi driver h
for sure. Guiver, we've already

1549
02:04:50.600 --> 02:04:56.520
shipped that one. Uh. That
was That's a good release. You know,

1550
02:04:56.640 --> 02:04:59.680
it's interesting to see. I know
if people were grumbling with shout Factory

1551
02:04:59.680 --> 02:05:01.600
about re releasing the four K's and
steal books, but you know, I

1552
02:05:01.640 --> 02:05:05.000
think it's a different crowd, different
audience, so so I understand why they're

1553
02:05:05.000 --> 02:05:12.079
doing that completely. The Anchorman is
interesting because there's a way more deluxe version

1554
02:05:12.359 --> 02:05:15.359
coming out in the UK in the
next month or two, I think.

1555
02:05:15.520 --> 02:05:20.399
So it's interesting to see when there's
when there's you know, two countries are

1556
02:05:20.439 --> 02:05:26.880
releasing the same thing from the same
company at different times and they're different editions.

1557
02:05:26.920 --> 02:05:30.199
You know, we ran across that
with Chinatown a couple of weeks ago.

1558
02:05:30.399 --> 02:05:33.319
So yeah, yeah, it just
you know, mainly taxi driver,

1559
02:05:34.079 --> 02:05:39.720
just for logistics. It would be
a busy day the next couple of days,

1560
02:05:39.800 --> 02:05:42.840
yeah, said well, and the
other busy, busy thing to talk

1561
02:05:42.880 --> 02:05:45.760
about. It's sale day. You
just launched a sale today. You want

1562
02:05:45.800 --> 02:05:48.359
to share that with everybody? Yeah, yeah, so yeah, we're doing

1563
02:05:48.399 --> 02:05:54.359
a sale ends on Sunday. It's
thirty percent of select products from Blue Underground,

1564
02:05:55.000 --> 02:05:58.359
Fun City Editions, and vc I. So two of these companies I

1565
02:05:58.439 --> 02:06:01.840
really haven't seen, you know,
many sales for so we we thought we'd

1566
02:06:01.880 --> 02:06:04.880
try it. Bloid and Grant of
course we've done them before and everybody else

1567
02:06:04.960 --> 02:06:10.119
has as well. It doesn't include
brand new products, so everybody of course

1568
02:06:10.279 --> 02:06:15.920
was asking about death Dream four kuse, so so that that's not that's that's

1569
02:06:15.000 --> 02:06:18.279
not part of it, but pretty
much everything but it's fun City. I

1570
02:06:18.319 --> 02:06:20.960
think there's a brand new release from
them that that that's not part of sale,

1571
02:06:20.960 --> 02:06:26.239
but everything else is fair game with
them and going going really well so

1572
02:06:26.399 --> 02:06:29.239
far. Yeah, really happy with
that. And then we got we're lining

1573
02:06:29.359 --> 02:06:32.920
up more sales for the next two
or three months, including and I want

1574
02:06:32.920 --> 02:06:35.159
to jink this. I'm not gonna
mention any names yet, but we're going

1575
02:06:35.199 --> 02:06:41.479
to do our first ever UK product
use a sale. Wow. I think

1576
02:06:42.359 --> 02:06:47.359
they they approached us and it will
people will will be very happy. But

1577
02:06:49.319 --> 02:06:54.479
we think we've worked out the shipping
and the logistics and things like that to

1578
02:06:54.560 --> 02:06:58.680
where we all we all will be
happy with this. And I'm hoping if

1579
02:06:58.720 --> 02:07:01.560
this works, you know, we
can approach more companies over there to do

1580
02:07:01.680 --> 02:07:05.479
the same thing. So, once
again, nothing is finalized, but but

1581
02:07:05.800 --> 02:07:11.199
you know, both sides us and
and and the other company are extremely we

1582
02:07:11.319 --> 02:07:15.319
want to make this happen, so
we'll do that. Should I be looking

1583
02:07:15.399 --> 02:07:18.640
forward to this with my region locked
player or player? Yeah, I don't

1584
02:07:18.640 --> 02:07:20.520
know. If you have a birthday
coming up, I might want to ask

1585
02:07:20.600 --> 02:07:27.720
for one. You know, it's
on behalf of the of everyone else who

1586
02:07:29.279 --> 02:07:31.800
you'll live vicariously through the rest of
us. Yeah, I don't believe it,

1587
02:07:32.720 --> 02:07:36.039
right right, right? And then
there's other companies that you know,

1588
02:07:36.159 --> 02:07:42.000
there's maybe one. It's been great, you know, I think as we

1589
02:07:42.199 --> 02:07:45.000
grow, you know, we've we've
been good partners with a lot of these

1590
02:07:45.079 --> 02:07:50.000
companies and and they want to work
with us. Uh, and and having

1591
02:07:50.079 --> 02:07:55.239
sales and things like that. So
so we're hoping to have more. I

1592
02:07:55.439 --> 02:07:59.680
like being married though my wife is
the pretty much they head shipper, and

1593
02:08:00.439 --> 02:08:05.000
uh you know, so so yeah, there there's there's some there's some ground

1594
02:08:05.159 --> 02:08:07.840
there's some ground rules with these things, so we we can't we can't get

1595
02:08:07.880 --> 02:08:13.239
too crazy. The one we had
last year about killed me almost physically.

1596
02:08:13.399 --> 02:08:16.600
But u but that sale it was
six companies and it lasted ten days.

1597
02:08:16.680 --> 02:08:20.880
We're not gonna do that. I
did that was part of the problem.

1598
02:08:22.039 --> 02:08:26.079
Then. Yeah, yeah, I
mean, like I think most of us

1599
02:08:26.119 --> 02:08:28.119
have realized, you know, these
these faster weekend sales are really the way

1600
02:08:28.159 --> 02:08:31.399
to go because it really most of
these things are just done. They're one

1601
02:08:31.479 --> 02:08:35.319
and done on the first day anyway, it just sort of lingers and then

1602
02:08:35.359 --> 02:08:37.600
the last day picks up. But
like you know, it's like, well

1603
02:08:37.760 --> 02:08:39.720
why why why do it for ten
days? We just do it for four

1604
02:08:41.159 --> 02:08:45.399
or three or five or whatever.
So yeah, yeah, this this this

1605
02:08:45.520 --> 02:08:46.680
sale is great. It you know, we sort of snuck it up on

1606
02:08:46.720 --> 02:08:50.000
everybody, I think a little bit. And uh, it's been it's been

1607
02:08:50.079 --> 02:08:54.119
going really well so far. There's
some good titles in there, everybody.

1608
02:08:54.399 --> 02:08:58.000
Yeah, and and it's a great
you know, I love these things because

1609
02:08:58.000 --> 02:09:01.880
a lot of people are they're just
getting into this and we are picking up

1610
02:09:01.680 --> 02:09:05.319
thousands of people are just getting to
this hobby. You know, they're able

1611
02:09:05.359 --> 02:09:09.079
to go back and affordably pick up
catalog titles that they've missed down on.

1612
02:09:09.239 --> 02:09:13.279
So yeah, I've got a question
while you're here, Mark, I'd be

1613
02:09:13.520 --> 02:09:18.359
kicking myself if I didn't bring this
up. Your Orbit DVD stickers that show

1614
02:09:18.439 --> 02:09:24.399
up in the boxes. Yeah,
I am an avid fan of these stickers.

1615
02:09:24.439 --> 02:09:28.520
I have a a down in my
bedroom. I have a bookcase on

1616
02:09:28.640 --> 02:09:31.880
my side of the boat sticker wall, you know, of all the stickers

1617
02:09:31.920 --> 02:09:35.520
I get for free. And there's
a number of Orbit DVD stickers now prominently

1618
02:09:37.159 --> 02:09:41.479
on there, amid all the severin
and whatnot. And yeah, the rules

1619
02:09:41.520 --> 02:09:45.319
are as long as it's a sticker
that I get for free, you know,

1620
02:09:45.479 --> 02:09:48.920
it goes up and it's like the
art exhibit. We've got the Army

1621
02:09:50.000 --> 02:09:54.680
of Darkness with Earnest on it.
Amazing, that's one of your great stickers.

1622
02:09:54.640 --> 02:09:58.840
And then of course a thriller,
a cruel picture. Christina Linn.

1623
02:10:00.279 --> 02:10:05.000
There you got a couple of those, and then of course the one that

1624
02:10:05.119 --> 02:10:11.680
I have to uh carefully explain to
my kids with the the Bundle of Sticks

1625
02:10:11.800 --> 02:10:20.520
on fire. That one is uh
particularly clever and uh what what am I

1626
02:10:20.600 --> 02:10:24.760
missing? What what collectible orbit stickers
am I am? I not? Well,

1627
02:10:24.800 --> 02:10:31.199
there's there, there's one. There's
one with me. Uh as I

1628
02:10:31.319 --> 02:10:35.840
wanted to do a riff on Volume
four by Black Sabbath, so instead of

1629
02:10:35.880 --> 02:10:41.119
Ozzy if you know that iconic cover, sure, Ozzie's doing the peace sign.

1630
02:10:41.600 --> 02:10:43.680
I'm holding up vice squad and I
forgot what the other one I was

1631
02:10:43.720 --> 02:10:50.119
holding up. But uh uh anyways, yeah, uh, the Bundle of

1632
02:10:50.159 --> 02:10:56.279
Sticks is definitely like a folk horror
Wickerman type thing, and that is created

1633
02:10:56.319 --> 02:11:01.159
by we still call him an employee. He also is with the graphic design

1634
02:11:01.279 --> 02:11:09.479
and web stuff. But yeah,
yeah doing uh uh the uh there's we

1635
02:11:09.800 --> 02:11:16.680
just called that character the ORB uh
TV it's a TV normally. Uh So

1636
02:11:16.760 --> 02:11:22.520
there's there's like probably four or five
different variations of ORB out there. It

1637
02:11:22.600 --> 02:11:28.840
then anyway, maybe the next order, feel free to leave a note that

1638
02:11:28.960 --> 02:11:33.199
the shippers love it when you when
you leave notes happy, No, it's

1639
02:11:33.640 --> 02:11:39.800
happy instead of like going please pick
the best quality slip cover you have,

1640
02:11:39.039 --> 02:11:43.520
and yeah, it's like we always
do that. We all we will always

1641
02:11:43.600 --> 02:11:45.760
pick the best one. You know. It's like we're not We're not like

1642
02:11:45.840 --> 02:11:48.880
going We're gonna smudge this before we
anyway, Uh to say, hey,

1643
02:11:50.199 --> 02:11:52.880
I got these stickers, I would
love to get the rest of them,

1644
02:11:52.439 --> 02:11:54.560
or can I have one of each? And they'd be happy to throw it

1645
02:11:54.600 --> 02:12:00.960
in there for you. I just
someone just mentioned, yeah Justice stickers,

1646
02:12:01.159 --> 02:12:05.800
No no DVDs or blue rays.
Well, I mean that that has happened,

1647
02:12:05.880 --> 02:12:09.000
Yeah, that has Uh. Someone
just mentioned, uh, one of

1648
02:12:09.079 --> 02:12:16.960
our friends made a sort of take
on the Friday the Thirteenth Part four cover,

1649
02:12:16.119 --> 02:12:20.119
but it's a videotape. I have
that one. Yeah yeah, okay,

1650
02:12:20.199 --> 02:12:24.960
Yeah. My favorite though probably got
some people took the took this the

1651
02:12:24.000 --> 02:12:28.960
wrong way is I made a barf
bag and uh we we had an orbit

1652
02:12:28.079 --> 02:12:37.239
barf bag and we we sim probably
five hundred out that most people got it.

1653
02:12:37.479 --> 02:12:39.880
They understood what that was. It
was the other red you know,

1654
02:12:41.199 --> 02:12:43.079
it was just like the classic barf
bag for horror movies and like Mark of

1655
02:12:43.119 --> 02:12:48.439
the Devil is the main one that
they were really asshole. Yeah yeah,

1656
02:12:48.680 --> 02:12:54.199
yeah, but anyway, like this
this one guy messages us and he's like,

1657
02:12:54.319 --> 02:12:56.520
going, what's with this barf bag? You know, I'm like,

1658
02:12:56.880 --> 02:13:00.479
I'm like going, and I'm trying
to explain to him that history of the

1659
02:13:00.800 --> 02:13:03.880
you know, gimmicks, theater gimmicks. You know. He's like, well,

1660
02:13:03.920 --> 02:13:05.279
will you said down with this Bruce
Lee box set? You know,

1661
02:13:05.399 --> 02:13:09.359
I'm like going, I said,
you know, coolier jets. Uh,

1662
02:13:09.640 --> 02:13:15.880
this was just something funny to do. Uh. And I mentioned again the

1663
02:13:16.319 --> 02:13:20.239
the the theaters did. I said, we are all huge fans of Bruce

1664
02:13:20.359 --> 02:13:26.000
Lee, and this barf bag no
and no way, shape or form reflects

1665
02:13:26.039 --> 02:13:31.199
our own personal opinion about Bruce Lee
on whatever you bought, pal. It's

1666
02:13:31.399 --> 02:13:37.720
just yeah, you know, it's
I don't know that that occurred to me

1667
02:13:37.920 --> 02:13:41.479
to be. People are now asking, like, I feel sorry for these

1668
02:13:41.640 --> 02:13:46.239
these poor suckers. Movies Unlimited still
in business. Do you know you know

1669
02:13:46.239 --> 02:13:52.399
about that company that's the old school
mailing company where they probably would take a

1670
02:13:52.520 --> 02:13:54.960
check. Yeah, you know,
it's mostly classics and Westerns and stuff.

1671
02:13:56.000 --> 02:14:01.800
Anyway, Yeah, these poor old
guys want a printed catalog. They want

1672
02:14:01.840 --> 02:14:05.319
me to send a printed catalog.
So I thinking about this thirty two pages

1673
02:14:05.359 --> 02:14:07.960
of the simple Dwarf. I mean
I might I might make something. Uh

1674
02:14:09.319 --> 02:14:11.359
and and so you know, okay, okay, buddy, you know this

1675
02:14:11.520 --> 02:14:13.880
is ah, this is all we
got. You know, we are your

1676
02:14:13.920 --> 02:14:22.680
simple dwarf warehouse. And uh and
we're here here for yeah, a catalog

1677
02:14:22.760 --> 02:14:33.680
of different orbit barf bags five out
copies of that Gilligan's Island four K that

1678
02:14:33.880 --> 02:14:35.199
you know. I might be given
those away too, we'll see. Uh,

1679
02:14:35.880 --> 02:14:39.119
I got an order one I need. I forgot who put that out,

1680
02:14:39.199 --> 02:14:43.279
but uh, I love orbit Head
shirts of the ORB. Yeah.

1681
02:14:43.800 --> 02:14:48.840
The the plan is the next shirt
we're doing is of orby Humble Our honey.

1682
02:14:50.159 --> 02:14:54.680
We are going to do a we
are going to do an ORB sure,

1683
02:14:54.239 --> 02:14:58.439
hopefully the next couple of months.
Cool. Uh. There was one

1684
02:14:58.479 --> 02:15:01.720
more question in here. When you
get restocks, do you tend to receive

1685
02:15:01.800 --> 02:15:05.520
a generous number? Is there less? So like, do you tend to

1686
02:15:05.600 --> 02:15:11.920
see things sell it quickly again after
being restocked? Yeah? Restocks? Uh,

1687
02:15:11.159 --> 02:15:18.680
you know, we we try to
you know, the well, probably

1688
02:15:18.800 --> 02:15:24.279
the most of the titles will have
a you know, the pre order stock

1689
02:15:24.359 --> 02:15:26.079
and then and then we try to
double that amount. So say, for

1690
02:15:26.119 --> 02:15:30.920
example, I'm not not saying that
we're selling as many. But say say

1691
02:15:31.039 --> 02:15:35.319
we sell a thousand pre orders,
we'll bring in two thousand copies. So

1692
02:15:35.680 --> 02:15:39.079
so we'll have we'll have the amount
for pre orders, and we'll have plenty

1693
02:15:39.159 --> 02:15:45.199
to put on the website. And
then and then what you usually do everybody

1694
02:15:45.239 --> 02:15:50.359
does this is you just ramp down. Now then Uh. There's lots of

1695
02:15:50.479 --> 02:15:52.880
cases, especially with product that's limited
release. So a good example is,

1696
02:15:54.119 --> 02:15:58.039
uh, you know, the Plant
Plant of the Vampires. We we knew

1697
02:15:58.359 --> 02:16:01.720
we knew this one, you know, we we knew that this would be

1698
02:16:01.279 --> 02:16:05.439
a real hot seller. We knew
that there's kind of like a one and

1699
02:16:05.560 --> 02:16:09.760
done thing, so we we went
to multiple suppliers and we just kept getting

1700
02:16:09.800 --> 02:16:13.159
restock after restock after restock, with
lots of places where I sold out of

1701
02:16:13.199 --> 02:16:18.159
it. So so we like we
we enjoyed chasing these limited edition sets that

1702
02:16:18.239 --> 02:16:22.439
are that are going out of print. We did that with hell Raiser,

1703
02:16:22.600 --> 02:16:26.159
we did that with well pretty much
everything, like like we we want to

1704
02:16:26.239 --> 02:16:31.799
be the last people to have this
title, and a lot of times we

1705
02:16:31.920 --> 02:16:37.559
are. But you know, the
traditional business model is you bring in something

1706
02:16:37.639 --> 02:16:41.040
new, you sell it down,
maybe keep a couple of copies, and

1707
02:16:41.120 --> 02:16:43.799
then you move on to the next
one. And there's nothing wrong with that

1708
02:16:43.920 --> 02:16:46.520
business model at all, but we
say, well, wait a minute,

1709
02:16:46.719 --> 02:16:50.959
if we can get more, you
know, and I think maybe the two

1710
02:16:50.040 --> 02:16:54.040
titles that made us for two well
second Side and Arrow, but like like

1711
02:16:54.159 --> 02:17:00.200
the Giant Dawn of the Dead set
and then the Giant Gamera set very on

1712
02:17:00.360 --> 02:17:03.799
we're doing online and we just kept
ordering him and ordering them and ordering them,

1713
02:17:03.319 --> 02:17:07.719
and you know, I would spend
all night, multiple nights, of

1714
02:17:07.760 --> 02:17:11.520
shipping those out. But but you
know it, we we love doing that.

1715
02:17:11.840 --> 02:17:15.520
I mean that it really gives us
a thrill, to be honest,

1716
02:17:15.600 --> 02:17:18.159
you know. But you know,
like we were still sitting on some stuff.

1717
02:17:18.200 --> 02:17:22.840
You know, we thought the the
UK Extiocist Steel Book would would go

1718
02:17:22.159 --> 02:17:26.239
bonkers, you know, but like
it, we're about out of it.

1719
02:17:26.360 --> 02:17:30.799
But you know, it took a
long time. You just can't predict it.

1720
02:17:30.879 --> 02:17:33.600
I mean, pre orders you can
kind of predict. You can't kind

1721
02:17:33.639 --> 02:17:39.399
of predict you know what what's going
to happen, but but a lot of

1722
02:17:39.440 --> 02:17:43.159
times you just don't know. Uh. Yeah, the Hitcher uh second site

1723
02:17:43.200 --> 02:17:46.680
has been fantastic with us. We
we I think we have a really good

1724
02:17:46.719 --> 02:17:52.319
relationship with them. We've had zero
problems with Second Sight. If you want

1725
02:17:52.360 --> 02:17:58.799
the hit your you'll have ample opportunity
to to to pick one up. The

1726
02:17:58.840 --> 02:18:01.840
pre order the pre order think we'll
go fast, but you'll we that could

1727
02:18:01.920 --> 02:18:05.959
possibly be the biggest title well ever
carry period. And before that, before

1728
02:18:07.040 --> 02:18:09.959
that it was it was other second
site titles. You know, it's you

1729
02:18:11.000 --> 02:18:13.879
know, Texas Chainsaw Massacred, you
know, and stuff like that. So

1730
02:18:16.159 --> 02:18:20.079
like that, they don't seem to
be playing a game where you know,

1731
02:18:20.319 --> 02:18:22.159
like like we're only going to make
so much and that's it. You know,

1732
02:18:22.360 --> 02:18:26.760
they they do have a limit,
but but they make sure they're making

1733
02:18:26.879 --> 02:18:31.159
they're making enough copies of it.
Right, Even that big Donna the Dead

1734
02:18:31.200 --> 02:18:33.440
that that was, it wasn't gone
immediately. It was around for a little

1735
02:18:33.440 --> 02:18:37.440
bit, and it seems like they're
they're cognizant of how many people around the

1736
02:18:37.600 --> 02:18:41.559
world are buying. They're certainly not
just doing this for the UK. I

1737
02:18:41.680 --> 02:18:46.319
am bummed to have missed that.
That is one of the great regrets,

1738
02:18:46.559 --> 02:18:54.719
that the fat Dona the Dead thing
man that that just well, that's that's

1739
02:18:54.760 --> 02:18:58.959
that's my everyone seller. That the
standard edition Donna the Dead is my one

1740
02:18:58.040 --> 02:19:03.639
seller We've only been out of that
for maybe one time, uh, for

1741
02:19:03.799 --> 02:19:07.319
maybe six weeks or two months,
And I told my buyer, I said,

1742
02:19:07.319 --> 02:19:09.360
I wanted I want hundreds of copies
in stock at all times, because

1743
02:19:09.479 --> 02:19:13.399
you just don't know, you know, like that they're not they're never gonna

1744
02:19:13.440 --> 02:19:16.280
run out of it, uh,
but they're the production. You know,

1745
02:19:16.479 --> 02:19:18.040
they'll run out of copy, they'll
run out of copies, they'll have to

1746
02:19:18.079 --> 02:19:22.159
make more, so you know,
there's usually a gap in time. We're

1747
02:19:22.159 --> 02:19:26.079
seeing that right now with sign Apps
and Suspiria four K. It's like,

1748
02:19:26.600 --> 02:19:31.600
I think everybody sold out of Suspiria
because that is another number one title that

1749
02:19:31.840 --> 02:19:35.879
that people are buying right now,
and and demand is so high, you

1750
02:19:35.959 --> 02:19:37.479
know, people run out of stuff. So you know, my goal is

1751
02:19:37.520 --> 02:19:41.879
also have hundreds of copies of Suspiria, but we haven't had a chance to

1752
02:19:41.959 --> 02:19:45.159
jump on that yet. But but
yeah, yeah, it's like you know,

1753
02:19:45.200 --> 02:19:48.280
there there there's guineas like like the
Hitter, and we know what to

1754
02:19:48.440 --> 02:19:54.680
get, and then there's you know, there's titles that we that we underbought,

1755
02:19:54.719 --> 02:19:58.440
and there's titles that we've overbought.
This business you know basically yeah,

1756
02:20:00.440 --> 02:20:03.760
yeah, well speaking to titles,
it's probably time to talk about some specific

1757
02:20:03.840 --> 02:20:07.719
films. For at least a few
minutes. We are going to be discussing

1758
02:20:09.000 --> 02:20:13.319
one Francis Ford Coppola with coming out
later this year. Got to ask Jim,

1759
02:20:13.440 --> 02:20:20.200
this was your main idea. Why
lean into Francis Ford. It's very

1760
02:20:20.479 --> 02:20:24.079
very simple. Ryan. One thing
that I didn't mention at the top of

1761
02:20:24.120 --> 02:20:30.600
the show that I do is give
one off talks to local retirees. We

1762
02:20:30.680 --> 02:20:39.840
have an organization in Saint Louis called
Oasis Saint Louis that is committed to providing

1763
02:20:39.239 --> 02:20:45.959
educational seminars to keeping retirees sharp.
So I, once or twice a month

1764
02:20:46.159 --> 02:20:54.680
go in and do these detailed talks
about film history. And I pitch a

1765
02:20:54.760 --> 02:20:58.840
topic and they say yes. And
and so I've got Francis Ford Coppola coming

1766
02:20:58.920 --> 02:21:05.000
up up, and you know a
couple is interesting. He's he's a very

1767
02:21:05.520 --> 02:21:13.479
like he's a one of a kind
figure in film history, and you know,

1768
02:21:13.559 --> 02:21:16.520
the kind of you know, art
He's got this artistic side, but

1769
02:21:16.600 --> 02:21:22.120
he's also you know, megalomaniacal,
you know, by all accounts, and

1770
02:21:24.159 --> 02:21:26.719
you know, somebody who is kind
of at war with himself. So I've

1771
02:21:26.760 --> 02:21:35.719
been I've been just researching Francis Coppola, as my letterboxed account will attest,

1772
02:21:35.520 --> 02:21:39.239
just a couple of movie after couple
of movie after couple a movie this week

1773
02:21:39.280 --> 02:21:46.040
and last week, and filling in
a lot of gaps and kind of realizing

1774
02:21:46.159 --> 02:21:50.879
some things about the filmmaker that'll come
up when I put my power point together

1775
02:21:52.000 --> 02:21:56.079
and go talk to the retirees and
hopefully you know, I mean he's he's

1776
02:21:56.200 --> 02:22:01.479
George Lucas adjacent, of course,
because he and Lucas work together in American

1777
02:22:01.559 --> 02:22:07.440
Zoetrope Volume one back in the day, and you know one of them,

1778
02:22:07.559 --> 02:22:11.879
you kind of can't have the success
of one without the other, Lucas and

1779
02:22:11.920 --> 02:22:18.680
Coppola. Although the two men couldn't
be more different, it's just fascinating when

1780
02:22:18.719 --> 02:22:22.600
you go down the rabbit hole of
American Zotrope, and and you know,

1781
02:22:22.840 --> 02:22:26.280
Cople I there was. You know, I've studied Lucas ad nauseum. But

1782
02:22:26.520 --> 02:22:31.600
Coppola. I realized I had a
lot of gaps, So I pitched this

1783
02:22:33.079 --> 02:22:37.120
talk and they said yes, And
that meant that's an excuse for me to

1784
02:22:37.280 --> 02:22:39.600
deep dive on the movies. So
and and while I'm in the middle of

1785
02:22:39.680 --> 02:22:43.040
that. I I was like,
well, I might as well pitch here.

1786
02:22:43.799 --> 02:22:50.159
With Megalopolis coming up its topical,
right, so let's uh. Megalopolis

1787
02:22:50.239 --> 02:22:54.600
is opening in October, hopefully in
everyone's neck of the woods, and hopefully

1788
02:22:54.639 --> 02:23:05.000
it's good or at least interesting.
That's why because used to have a Mark.

1789
02:23:05.120 --> 02:23:07.600
Mark seems to have a rant ready
to go, so you know,

1790
02:23:09.120 --> 02:23:11.319
it's it's going back talking to the
about the Star Wars movies I was talking

1791
02:23:11.319 --> 02:23:18.920
about earlier, which is, you
know, they they've given Copola the leeway

1792
02:23:18.120 --> 02:23:24.840
to go back and remake or recut
these films, and that's all finding good.

1793
02:23:24.959 --> 02:23:28.680
But I'm I'm a believer of like, okay, you're gonna do this.

1794
02:23:28.959 --> 02:23:33.120
Like the last one, well one
from the heart he went back and

1795
02:23:33.840 --> 02:23:39.239
made it, and I don't believe
the original version is on Studio Canals disc.

1796
02:23:39.319 --> 02:23:43.559
I think it's just a recut of
the thing that happened with Lionsgate and

1797
02:23:43.840 --> 02:23:48.319
TwixT, which you know that film
is okay, but like it's now called

1798
02:23:48.440 --> 02:23:52.840
Betwixt Betwixt. He went back and
redid that, He went back and redid

1799
02:23:54.000 --> 02:23:56.280
uh, he went back of course, you know famously Apocalypse now that he

1800
02:23:56.360 --> 02:24:01.280
was. They was lauded for that. Now yeah twice, you're right,

1801
02:24:01.680 --> 02:24:07.479
and that one. I think all
versions okay, all right, sorry,

1802
02:24:07.559 --> 02:24:13.399
sorry, sorry about that. I
don't know, like I thought he twigs

1803
02:24:13.479 --> 02:24:18.239
was only his version of it,
but I don't know about Yeah, I

1804
02:24:18.280 --> 02:24:22.319
don't know either. Someone just correct
me on that one. But they might

1805
02:24:22.440 --> 02:24:24.959
just be talking about one from the
heart, right right, right right.

1806
02:24:26.159 --> 02:24:33.040
I don't know if both Godfather threes
are available, you know, probably yeah

1807
02:24:33.719 --> 02:24:37.079
they are, but only the new
version is on four K if I remember,

1808
02:24:37.200 --> 02:24:39.360
right, Okay, so there's there, there's some films. I think

1809
02:24:39.399 --> 02:24:43.600
he has better control of that that. You know, he just doesn't want

1810
02:24:43.639 --> 02:24:46.840
the original version to come out.
So but it's also you know, even

1811
02:24:46.840 --> 02:24:50.159
if both versions are out, you
know, it's like I'm the firm believer

1812
02:24:50.280 --> 02:24:56.319
of like you made it. You
know, whatever happens happens, and and

1813
02:24:56.520 --> 02:25:00.760
and maybe you should move on from
that. So but I'm not you know,

1814
02:25:00.840 --> 02:25:01.799
it's like it, you know,
I don't know. I don't know

1815
02:25:01.840 --> 02:25:05.520
what drives him. Obviously, making
films drives him. He sold everything to

1816
02:25:05.719 --> 02:25:11.559
make this new movie, so multiple
times. Yeah, it's probably the time

1817
02:25:11.600 --> 02:25:16.120
it is putting absolutely everything on the
line. And you know that we know

1818
02:25:16.239 --> 02:25:20.000
of it could be more than that. But but uh, you know,

1819
02:25:20.040 --> 02:25:24.319
a bankrupted him once, it greeped
him incredible rewards once, you know.

1820
02:25:24.520 --> 02:25:30.879
So, so I'm really interested to
see this new film. It's going to

1821
02:25:30.959 --> 02:25:33.399
look great, you know, no
doubt. But will it be a gangs

1822
02:25:33.680 --> 02:25:37.600
work or will be an apocalypse now? You know, it's like who knows,

1823
02:25:37.920 --> 02:25:41.280
right? And I'm oh, sorry, no, no, no,

1824
02:25:41.479 --> 02:25:43.479
go ahead, go ahead. I
was just gonna say, I'm reading a

1825
02:25:43.520 --> 02:25:48.920
book by Sam Watson that's a regular
that's a relatively new one called Half the

1826
02:25:48.000 --> 02:25:54.440
Paradise. Said, man, my
dog is noisy. I'm sorry she insisted

1827
02:25:54.479 --> 02:25:58.639
on being in here, sitting over
here. Uh, just being stupid as

1828
02:25:58.760 --> 02:26:03.600
one will, as a dog does. But I apologize for the dog noise

1829
02:26:03.680 --> 02:26:09.719
anyhow. Sam Watson's book, Paths
of Paradise is so elegantly written, but

1830
02:26:09.920 --> 02:26:16.600
so wonderfully readable and researched, and
it's not your standard biography book of a

1831
02:26:16.719 --> 02:26:22.719
director. He starts right in on
the making of Megalopolis, which you know,

1832
02:26:24.120 --> 02:26:30.159
a couple has been trying to make
that since before clips now and then

1833
02:26:30.319 --> 02:26:33.440
he and then it lapses into apocalypse
now and it's like Hey, where's all

1834
02:26:33.440 --> 02:26:37.879
the born childhood stuff? You know? So anyway, a recommendation for Path

1835
02:26:39.000 --> 02:26:43.280
to Paradise if you're looking to read
more on Francis Coppola. As as we

1836
02:26:43.399 --> 02:26:52.879
go through, people are listing off
the ones waiting for Jack Reduks. They

1837
02:26:52.959 --> 02:26:56.680
say that Club is the only the
recut is out on disc I guess,

1838
02:26:56.799 --> 02:27:03.760
and that's probably for the best question. I saw a question I'd love to

1839
02:27:03.799 --> 02:27:07.639
answer, what's your favorite cut of
Apocalypse Now? I had this infamous uh

1840
02:27:09.520 --> 02:27:16.360
six hour bootleg, Yeah, on
VHS tape. It was an absolutely horrific

1841
02:27:16.479 --> 02:27:24.280
condition. Like the what to see
was when when Sheen's character starts going after

1842
02:27:26.280 --> 02:27:31.040
brand. Oh, there's way more, way more shot and way more depraved.

1843
02:27:31.120 --> 02:27:35.639
And I could see why that was
all cut out because it would just

1844
02:27:35.799 --> 02:27:39.920
make Sheene look even you know,
more in human, you know, than

1845
02:27:41.079 --> 02:27:45.520
than they they perhaps wanted to look
in the thing. But that that was

1846
02:27:45.760 --> 02:27:50.600
really bizarre, bizarre the bootlet.
It's back in the tape trading days,

1847
02:27:50.760 --> 02:27:54.239
the you know, the the nineties
basically. But but uh, yeah,

1848
02:27:54.399 --> 02:27:56.799
yeah, I think I've watched it
once and I had to fast forward a

1849
02:27:56.840 --> 02:28:00.440
lot of it. Uh you know, just seen this before and it's like,

1850
02:28:00.440 --> 02:28:01.399
oh, I haven't seen this part, you know, so I watched

1851
02:28:01.440 --> 02:28:05.879
this, so technically I watched it, I guess. But uh, that

1852
02:28:05.200 --> 02:28:09.120
was the most interesting that, you
know, the redo one uh reducts Harry

1853
02:28:09.120 --> 02:28:13.639
pronounced it like. I mean,
like that was interesting to watch once.

1854
02:28:13.000 --> 02:28:16.959
But you know, go To for
me is just going right back to the

1855
02:28:16.040 --> 02:28:22.479
theatrical version. I think that that
moved. That moved fast enough for me

1856
02:28:22.680 --> 02:28:28.120
too to be my favorite cut of
it. There's a shot up for Peggy

1857
02:28:28.239 --> 02:28:31.440
you got married man. Yes,
that's tough to see unless you rent it

1858
02:28:31.920 --> 02:28:39.159
from Amazon to watch. It's not
streaming as part of any subscription, and

1859
02:28:39.440 --> 02:28:43.920
there I can't find it even a
DVD. Maybe I'm looking at the wrong

1860
02:28:43.959 --> 02:28:48.040
spots, but anyway, I mean
I enjoyed Tetro quite a bit. You

1861
02:28:48.079 --> 02:28:52.040
know, I forgot what gap of
time there was when he before you.

1862
02:28:54.440 --> 02:28:58.559
Oh no, no idea, But
what was the film? Do you know

1863
02:28:58.559 --> 02:29:00.760
what the film was he made before
that? How long? How long was

1864
02:29:00.840 --> 02:29:03.399
Youth Without Youth is two thousand and
seven? Okay, so so he was

1865
02:29:03.440 --> 02:29:07.000
still making films regularly, I guess, but there was a gap. But

1866
02:29:07.520 --> 02:29:13.879
before Youth without Youth there was a
gap there for right, yeah, nearly

1867
02:29:13.120 --> 02:29:16.600
nearly, Okay, youth without youth
was kind of returned, and then he

1868
02:29:16.680 --> 02:29:22.040
made all those smaller personal uh you
know, we got your youth without youth,

1869
02:29:22.120 --> 02:29:26.399
you got your tetro, you got
your TwixT tick, and then he

1870
02:29:26.479 --> 02:29:31.399
kind of goes dark a little bit, uh until right, I mean,

1871
02:29:31.440 --> 02:29:35.799
there's there's little things in there.
But right, well, we're gonna talk

1872
02:29:35.799 --> 02:29:39.360
about five favorites tonight. As I've
said many many times, this doesn't mean

1873
02:29:39.399 --> 02:29:43.719
we're saying they are the five best. Necessarily, they are just five of

1874
02:29:43.879 --> 02:29:46.799
our favorites. We're not even necessarily
needing to rank them. However, if

1875
02:29:46.840 --> 02:29:50.719
you did, that's totally fine.
Jim, this is your topic. Let's

1876
02:29:50.760 --> 02:29:54.159
start with you. What is the
number five that you want to say?

1877
02:29:54.520 --> 02:30:00.840
On? My list is probably pretty
boring and predictable. I made two lists.

1878
02:30:00.879 --> 02:30:05.399
I made my best, you know, my favorites, and then I

1879
02:30:05.559 --> 02:30:11.159
made the most fascinating so of my
of my favorites, Number five would be

1880
02:30:11.280 --> 02:30:13.600
rain People, which I just watched
this morning. I've been meaning to watch

1881
02:30:13.680 --> 02:30:20.040
this for years. Because of the
George Lucas Copola connections kind of solidified their

1882
02:30:20.159 --> 02:30:28.000
early collaborations, which culminated in THHX
one one three eight feature film which triggered

1883
02:30:28.040 --> 02:30:35.000
the destruction of American zootrope and forced
Copola to go off and make movies for

1884
02:30:35.159 --> 02:30:39.719
money. And that gave us The
Godfather. So that only goes to show

1885
02:30:39.799 --> 02:30:45.120
that having to sell out to the
man and make a movie to pay off

1886
02:30:45.159 --> 02:30:52.760
your debts isn't always the worst thing
for Sinophelia. It gave us the Godfather.

1887
02:30:52.040 --> 02:30:56.040
But the Rain people, I like
this. This is a heartbreaking movie

1888
02:30:56.079 --> 02:31:01.399
with James Kahn, surely night.
It's a road picture, very small,

1889
02:31:03.159 --> 02:31:09.719
very melancholy, lots of rain dripping
the water everywhere. It's it's poetic and

1890
02:31:09.200 --> 02:31:11.639
you know it starts off slow,
but man, by the end, it

1891
02:31:11.760 --> 02:31:16.639
gets you. It gets you at
the end. So I will be upgrading

1892
02:31:16.719 --> 02:31:18.879
that to Blu Ray as soon as
I can. On account of that dog

1893
02:31:18.959 --> 02:31:24.760
gone jacket, the red part of
James CON's jacket on this when watching it

1894
02:31:24.840 --> 02:31:30.719
on this old Warner Archive DVD,
the jacket picks blades, So we can't

1895
02:31:30.799 --> 02:31:35.440
have that. I don't think that's
what Couple wanted. Contrary to Mark's theory

1896
02:31:35.799 --> 02:31:41.559
earlier in the show, that's Wikipedia
says it was meant to be there so

1897
02:31:41.200 --> 02:31:48.559
yeah, oh Wikipedia, one of
these people in the comment section of dating

1898
02:31:48.600 --> 02:31:54.120
Wikipedia in the meantime between the beginning
of the show and now, and it's

1899
02:31:54.159 --> 02:32:01.399
already it's already been canonized. Perfect. What about you, Mark, What

1900
02:32:01.520 --> 02:32:07.159
is the number five for you?
Uh? Kind of hard going numbers.

1901
02:32:07.360 --> 02:32:13.040
Uh, I would say just reward. What I like is rewatchability, I

1902
02:32:13.079 --> 02:32:22.319
suppose, And for me it would
probably be Bram Stoker's Dracula. I mean,

1903
02:32:22.360 --> 02:32:26.559
I just love the the techniques he
was using to make that film.

1904
02:32:26.639 --> 02:32:30.799
I thought it was beautiful. I
thought it was amazing and uh, and

1905
02:32:30.920 --> 02:32:33.920
it really resonated with me at the
time. It felt like he was he

1906
02:32:35.079 --> 02:32:37.840
was back, I guess, you
know. Also and uh, and then

1907
02:32:37.840 --> 02:32:41.680
I guess Jack came out after that. I can't remember, I think,

1908
02:32:43.319 --> 02:32:48.000
right, I think Jack was the
follow up to them, bram Stoker's draculaker

1909
02:32:48.479 --> 02:32:50.520
something I don't know. Yeah,
The Rainmaker might have been after that.

1910
02:32:50.680 --> 02:32:54.159
Yeah, but but yeah, but
but yeah, that that one. You

1911
02:32:54.239 --> 02:32:58.040
know. I love that one,
I do. And I thought he was

1912
02:32:58.120 --> 02:33:05.200
the perfect director for that film for
sure. That's to me Dracula. I

1913
02:33:05.280 --> 02:33:07.520
know a lot of people love it
and have a soft spot for it,

1914
02:33:07.520 --> 02:33:11.079
Yet I want to get on board
with it, but to me, it's

1915
02:33:11.120 --> 02:33:16.200
like gangs in New York. There's
something about it that I find weirdly unapproachable

1916
02:33:16.799 --> 02:33:22.479
and kind of clunky, weirdly clunky, and I just need to I need

1917
02:33:22.559 --> 02:33:24.399
to get back I have I have
not in my couple of deep dive as

1918
02:33:24.440 --> 02:33:28.479
of Lake for my talk that I'll
be giving. I haven't rewatched Tracula yet.

1919
02:33:28.520 --> 02:33:35.639
It's been probably a couple of decades. The casting choices were suspect for

1920
02:33:35.760 --> 02:33:37.840
some of that. I mean especially
they have probably the studio is probably forcing

1921
02:33:37.959 --> 02:33:43.040
him to hire, you know,
or cast younger, higher actors out there.

1922
02:33:43.879 --> 02:33:48.479
And I would say that, you
know, Olden probably was not at

1923
02:33:48.639 --> 02:33:52.440
a household name in the US.
I don't think he really had a breakthrough.

1924
02:33:52.559 --> 02:33:58.280
But Dracula I think broke him through
coming out. Yeah, yeah,

1925
02:33:58.840 --> 02:34:01.319
yeah, he will. He was
the reason why that, you know,

1926
02:34:01.360 --> 02:34:07.319
one of the reasons why it's so
successful for sure. But yeah, yet,

1927
02:34:07.399 --> 02:34:11.200
yeah, Ki Kana Reeves was not. It's not right at all there,

1928
02:34:11.520 --> 02:34:13.040
but well I was able to get
through that. It's a choice.

1929
02:34:15.000 --> 02:34:20.360
The first time they ever saw Michael
Belucci to theere is that I don't know.

1930
02:34:20.479 --> 02:34:24.680
I bet Kenny Reeves and Dracula.
I mean, how does that compare

1931
02:34:24.760 --> 02:34:28.639
to say, Sophia Coppola and Godfather
three? I mean it is correct,

1932
02:34:28.520 --> 02:34:33.360
It's got to be preferable, right
right. Uh, you know, one's

1933
02:34:33.399 --> 02:34:35.479
the one of the great miscastings of
all time and the other ones just get

1934
02:34:35.959 --> 02:34:41.760
stuck in something at the beginning of
his career. I'll be talking about Dracula

1935
02:34:41.799 --> 02:34:46.040
again in a minute. But you
say you have revisited I will see that

1936
02:34:46.440 --> 02:34:50.000
very recent uh Sony. I think
it was a four case steel book only

1937
02:34:50.040 --> 02:34:54.360
because Sony does this all the time, where they redid the Dobey vision and

1938
02:34:54.440 --> 02:35:03.239
then fixed the subtitles. That four
K disc looks immaculate. Ever, if

1939
02:35:03.280 --> 02:35:05.760
you've ever had any interest in that
film, you've got to see that four

1940
02:35:05.840 --> 02:35:11.559
K steel book. It looks gorgeous. So I shouldn't buy the regular case

1941
02:35:13.040 --> 02:35:16.120
four K of Dracula, should go
for the steel book. Is that what

1942
02:35:16.200 --> 02:35:20.319
you're saying, Because yes, there
was another four K done later with the

1943
02:35:20.600 --> 02:35:26.200
original subtitles where it had the Gothic
print and then they also added Dolby vision

1944
02:35:26.319 --> 02:35:28.280
to it. Okay, great to
know that. Great to know that,

1945
02:35:28.319 --> 02:35:31.920
because like I said, I am
well overdue for this. My experience with

1946
02:35:33.000 --> 02:35:35.440
the film in the past is not
great, but it's the distant past,

1947
02:35:35.600 --> 02:35:39.799
so I will be getting back to
that movie. I'll have to find that

1948
02:35:39.920 --> 02:35:43.040
steel book. I hope it's not
hard to find. It's Sony. A

1949
02:35:43.079 --> 02:35:46.319
lot of their stuff does not Sony
does not stuff that they go out of

1950
02:35:46.360 --> 02:35:50.600
pram with Sony. It's just demand. Like infamously Lawrence of Arabia four K

1951
02:35:50.680 --> 02:35:54.840
steel Book leaves up to like one
hundred bucks and then it comes back out

1952
02:35:54.840 --> 02:35:58.920
again like a few months later.
So it's Sony. Doesn't play the limit

1953
02:36:00.079 --> 02:36:05.600
edition game at all, is available
fantastic. My list is probably going to

1954
02:36:05.680 --> 02:36:09.600
be even more boring than both of
these, because I don't think I've seen

1955
02:36:09.639 --> 02:36:13.600
any of the smaller films. It's
mostly been the major blockbusters. So the

1956
02:36:13.760 --> 02:36:18.639
smallest one on my list is the
reason why you know great, you know.

1957
02:36:18.920 --> 02:36:22.680
The smallest one for me is probably
my number five, which is The

1958
02:36:22.760 --> 02:36:26.440
Outsiders. Grew up on this movie
quite a bit, love this one.

1959
02:36:26.840 --> 02:36:31.559
Read the novel years and years ago. This is a movie that's, oddly

1960
02:36:31.719 --> 02:36:35.399
I think meant more as I got
older, especially one of the interesting things

1961
02:36:35.520 --> 02:36:39.200
is moving to Kansas City, considering
how close to where it was filmed and

1962
02:36:39.559 --> 02:36:45.239
how different the world is here compared
to living in the desert in California,

1963
02:36:46.000 --> 02:36:50.399
just seeing like how how much that
was very accurate considering where it was filmed.

1964
02:36:50.639 --> 02:36:54.559
The Outsiders is great and one of
those timeless films that even though it's

1965
02:36:54.719 --> 02:36:58.399
very much of a time, I
feel like it's one that I can enjoy

1966
02:36:58.920 --> 02:37:03.719
literally any single time it's put on. Love The Outsiders. I love it

1967
02:37:03.840 --> 02:37:07.360
as well. It's been too long
since I've watched it. I did just

1968
02:37:07.399 --> 02:37:13.000
pick up the four K, but
I haven't spun it yet. Is it?

1969
02:37:13.159 --> 02:37:15.600
Is it? My number four?
Are we are? We are right

1970
02:37:15.600 --> 02:37:18.360
ahead? Cycle around Number four.
Segway is great here because you know you're

1971
02:37:18.399 --> 02:37:22.879
talking about where they film The Outsiders, which is Tulsa. They also filmed

1972
02:37:22.959 --> 02:37:28.000
Rumblefish right after two weeks two week
gap and then right into Rumblefish another se

1973
02:37:28.239 --> 02:37:35.280
hint in adaptation, very different,
also with Dylan in it. Criterion of

1974
02:37:35.319 --> 02:37:41.040
course put out a fantastic edition of
Rumblefish several years ago. That's my number

1975
02:37:41.079 --> 02:37:45.520
four, Rumblefish. What a movie
this is? This is a strange I

1976
02:37:45.600 --> 02:37:50.520
can't say it works on every level
that maybe it should work, but it's

1977
02:37:50.840 --> 02:37:56.479
just so watchable and and and dreamy. It's like, you know, this

1978
02:37:56.920 --> 02:38:01.920
dreamy black and white. A couple
of some of his movies, particularly like

1979
02:38:01.239 --> 02:38:05.559
you know, something like TwixT,
you could kind of look at it and

1980
02:38:05.639 --> 02:38:11.760
see him straining to show off his
visual flare or whatever he's trying to do.

1981
02:38:13.440 --> 02:38:16.159
Sometimes the visuals get quite heavy handed
and forced in his movies, but

1982
02:38:16.719 --> 02:38:22.200
I'd prefer that to a just straight
ahead, boring looking movie, which,

1983
02:38:22.239 --> 02:38:28.120
oddly enough, Jack is Jack won't
be on my list, but I did

1984
02:38:28.200 --> 02:38:31.719
I either. I did not hate
Jack, you guys, I just watched

1985
02:38:31.799 --> 02:38:35.239
Jack over the weekend for the first
time. Did not hate it. I

1986
02:38:35.399 --> 02:38:39.280
was dreading watching it, but I
did not hate it. But anyway,

1987
02:38:39.360 --> 02:38:43.879
Rumblefish is a kind of a eric
is that the word? The dream like

1988
02:38:43.559 --> 02:38:50.159
surreal state? You know, it's
transportative. There's always like low hanging fog

1989
02:38:50.479 --> 02:38:56.000
billowing through the shots. It's and
it's just so tactile and and rich.

1990
02:38:56.120 --> 02:39:01.879
Mickey Rourke, who I I've had
the uh anti pleasure of working on a

1991
02:39:03.120 --> 02:39:09.520
film shoot with Mickey Rourke. Don't
have great memories of that, but watching

1992
02:39:09.639 --> 02:39:15.520
him act was a treat, and
watching him young Mickey Rourke and Rumblefish is

1993
02:39:15.600 --> 02:39:20.799
again a treat. He's great and
it as the Motorcycle Boy, you know,

1994
02:39:20.200 --> 02:39:24.680
just just nails that performance, and
it reminds us why Mickey Rourke was

1995
02:39:24.719 --> 02:39:28.239
a big deal in the first place. My number four Rumblefish good call.

1996
02:39:28.799 --> 02:39:31.520
I still have not seen it.
I need to see Rubblefish from Yeah,

1997
02:39:31.799 --> 02:39:35.959
I dragged my feet on it too, And I just you know, most

1998
02:39:35.000 --> 02:39:37.799
of these, I there's a lot
of these I just watched this week,

1999
02:39:37.840 --> 02:39:43.920
and that's one of them. Well, here here's the first repeat from n

2000
02:39:43.040 --> 02:39:48.799
before the Outsiders. You know,
I think some movies come along the time

2001
02:39:48.840 --> 02:39:54.000
in your life to make an impression. And I had I had read just

2002
02:39:54.079 --> 02:39:58.079
read the book because it's I think
it's like a rite of passage for middle

2003
02:39:58.120 --> 02:40:03.760
school basically classes to read the hymn
book. And I think the movie came

2004
02:40:03.840 --> 02:40:07.920
out literally right after our class read
the book, and it looked like to

2005
02:40:09.040 --> 02:40:11.200
me, we didn't know most of
the actors in that thing, and and

2006
02:40:13.239 --> 02:40:16.520
you know, it felt like perfect
casting. And of course the entire cast

2007
02:40:16.719 --> 02:40:22.520
blew up pretty much after that.
So it's been a while since I've watched

2008
02:40:22.559 --> 02:40:24.840
it again. I actually was going
maybe make that a tie with Rumbelfish,

2009
02:40:24.840 --> 02:40:28.479
because sometimes in my memory I confuse
it to you know, it's like I

2010
02:40:28.520 --> 02:40:33.680
think there are they both hidden books. I can't think they are. Yeah

2011
02:40:33.719 --> 02:40:37.239
yeah, yeah, yeah, so
so you know, sometimes that muddled in

2012
02:40:37.319 --> 02:40:41.360
my mind. But but yeah,
The Outsiders I think was perfect. I

2013
02:40:41.440 --> 02:40:45.399
think it was. And and just
coming off fresh from the book and watching

2014
02:40:45.479 --> 02:40:48.319
the movie, it's like, wow, this is this is great. So

2015
02:40:48.680 --> 02:40:52.440
and that to me was one of
the better you know, book adptations actually,

2016
02:40:52.559 --> 02:40:56.559
I think, and and that showed
me the promise of what could be

2017
02:40:56.719 --> 02:41:01.879
done. And of course I've been
trying to chase that ever since. With

2018
02:41:03.719 --> 02:41:07.639
with with book adaptations, it seems
like, you know, most of them

2019
02:41:07.680 --> 02:41:11.760
are either great but not the book, or most of them are just terrible.

2020
02:41:11.879 --> 02:41:15.479
You know. So yeah, this
is the way it is. But

2021
02:41:15.799 --> 02:41:18.319
it's very interesting. Yeah, I'm
sorry, it's very interesting to hear,

2022
02:41:18.920 --> 02:41:24.360
you know, Coppola on the I
think the interview on the Rumblefish Criterion,

2023
02:41:24.000 --> 02:41:31.719
there's a twenty sixteen interview with Coppola
talking about just how he felt trapped making

2024
02:41:31.799 --> 02:41:35.200
The Outsiders. I think what he
was trying to do is pay off the

2025
02:41:35.959 --> 02:41:39.920
you know, American Zootrope Volume two
or you know, two point zero that

2026
02:41:41.040 --> 02:41:45.440
came crashing down after One from the
Heart failed. So he had to make

2027
02:41:45.520 --> 02:41:48.000
money, and pretty much every movie
made in the eighties was on some level

2028
02:41:50.479 --> 02:41:54.680
for the money because he had that's
again, so he was, you know,

2029
02:41:54.799 --> 02:42:00.200
hoping these teen movies, you know, chasing the teen trend to a

2030
02:42:00.280 --> 02:42:05.440
point, but still trying to you
know, make an interesting movie for teenagers.

2031
02:42:07.280 --> 02:42:09.319
He says, like, you know, they're reading Gone with the Wind

2032
02:42:09.479 --> 02:42:13.879
in the in the Outsiders. So
therefore he made it kind of colorful and

2033
02:42:15.159 --> 02:42:18.120
sweeping, like Gone with the Wind, and he realized he was locked into

2034
02:42:18.159 --> 02:42:24.399
this visual style that he himself was
not fond of, and that's why Rumblefish

2035
02:42:24.520 --> 02:42:26.680
was such a breath of fresh air
for him creatively. But I don't know,

2036
02:42:26.879 --> 02:42:33.319
I love that that elegant, colorful
look of Outsiders. Yeah, but

2037
02:42:33.440 --> 02:42:41.840
it's interesting to hear him say that
he felt trapped by them. All Right,

2038
02:42:43.159 --> 02:42:45.719
My number four is maybe going to
be the first one that people gasp

2039
02:42:45.799 --> 02:42:48.959
about. My godfather choice is going
to be the first one. And I'm

2040
02:42:48.959 --> 02:42:52.840
putting it all the way down here
at number four, And primarily it's because

2041
02:42:54.479 --> 02:42:58.159
I kind of agree with what Mark
said is it's it's a lot about rewatchability.

2042
02:42:58.559 --> 02:43:01.559
And although I can watch the Outsiders
at any time, I feel like

2043
02:43:01.600 --> 02:43:07.280
these other ones I get a little
more out of, especially nowadays. But

2044
02:43:07.360 --> 02:43:09.639
the Godfather is the one that on
this list is just at the bottom of

2045
02:43:09.719 --> 02:43:16.399
that list. The first two are
a masterpiece. And this is I mean,

2046
02:43:16.559 --> 02:43:18.840
the Godfather's been talked about to death. I don't need to say much.

2047
02:43:18.840 --> 02:43:22.719
It's the fucking Godfather. H I
love it. You're gonna say he

2048
02:43:22.840 --> 02:43:24.840
went with that setup, you know, it's like, you know, people

2049
02:43:26.399 --> 02:43:31.600
will be shocked. The new cut, the new cut of the Godfather three

2050
02:43:31.719 --> 02:43:37.639
Godfather coda three is my fourth favorite
couple of film ever made. No,

2051
02:43:37.840 --> 02:43:43.319
that was not okay unless it's smart. No, it's great, obviously,

2052
02:43:45.040 --> 02:43:50.520
Yeah, Godfather Part one, go
right ahead, sir me. Uh oh,

2053
02:43:50.079 --> 02:43:56.959
well, it's also the Godfather number
My number three is the first Godfather.

2054
02:43:56.559 --> 02:44:00.639
I know people like to have it
out over whether the first one or

2055
02:44:00.680 --> 02:44:03.000
the second one is good. I
kind of put, you know, Godfather

2056
02:44:03.159 --> 02:44:07.319
plus on there. I do have
a morbid fascination about the third one,

2057
02:44:07.399 --> 02:44:13.760
but recognize that it is a far
cry from one in two and unfortunately,

2058
02:44:13.040 --> 02:44:18.920
uh you know Robert Duvall isn't in
the third one, but man, I

2059
02:44:20.159 --> 02:44:24.879
love the first one the most.
That's just gree and maybe that'll change one

2060
02:44:24.959 --> 02:44:28.840
day I can reassess. But again, I'm with you. Enough has been

2061
02:44:28.879 --> 02:44:33.040
said about The Godfather that I don't
think I need to go on too much.

2062
02:44:33.159 --> 02:44:37.520
Yeah, I feel like now that
I'm doing special features on these days,

2063
02:44:37.680 --> 02:44:39.840
if somebody said, hey, we
would love someone's favorite to do a

2064
02:44:41.280 --> 02:44:45.319
visual essay on The Godfather, be
like, no, Like, what am

2065
02:44:45.360 --> 02:44:48.520
I going to talk about. One
of the things I did recent in the

2066
02:44:48.639 --> 02:44:54.360
semi recent years is write a review
of Criterion Citizen Kane. When that came

2067
02:44:54.440 --> 02:44:58.799
out, right, it's like,
what I adore this movie? And what

2068
02:44:58.000 --> 02:45:03.799
on earth can I say? You
know, I mean credits spitting us all

2069
02:45:03.840 --> 02:45:05.120
the time about things, you know, but it's true, you know,

2070
02:45:05.440 --> 02:45:09.239
you really do feel that what can
I add to this that hasn't been said?

2071
02:45:09.319 --> 02:45:13.200
Well? I think I managed,
but it was hard. It was

2072
02:45:13.319 --> 02:45:18.840
really hard anyway, all right?
Mark number three for you. Yeah,

2073
02:45:18.879 --> 02:45:26.760
number three, that's where it gets
really in it. I would say number

2074
02:45:26.799 --> 02:45:31.479
three would be the conversation for me. I feel like, you know,

2075
02:45:31.840 --> 02:45:39.159
it played into that seventies paranoia thing
going down. Really good character study for

2076
02:45:39.239 --> 02:45:46.360
Hackman, I think, and and
I feel I feel that, you know,

2077
02:45:46.600 --> 02:45:50.159
it feels like a small film after
Godfather of course, and just it

2078
02:45:50.280 --> 02:45:52.680
just showed to me that, you
know, just back I saw first when

2079
02:45:52.680 --> 02:45:58.120
I was in college. We all
were going my roommates and I were going

2080
02:45:58.159 --> 02:46:01.399
through a Copla phase and watching you
know, all this stuff. And you

2081
02:46:01.479 --> 02:46:05.239
know, he said, well he
made this after Godfather. You know,

2082
02:46:05.360 --> 02:46:07.200
it's like it seems like it's a
one to eighty. Yeah, you know,

2083
02:46:07.319 --> 02:46:11.440
it just showed just how masterful he
was. You know, he can

2084
02:46:11.479 --> 02:46:15.079
make he can make something big,
he can make something very small, and

2085
02:46:16.399 --> 02:46:18.959
I appreciate for that. It's also
you know, Hackman was in his absolute

2086
02:46:20.639 --> 02:46:24.000
zenith I think during that period too, and I think that had a lot

2087
02:46:24.079 --> 02:46:28.200
to do with it as well.
So great cast like Sidney Williams, I

2088
02:46:28.239 --> 02:46:31.639
think, and then and what on. So yeah, she is in there.

2089
02:46:33.760 --> 02:46:37.920
Yeah, not to just me to
this, but my number three is

2090
02:46:37.920 --> 02:46:46.719
also the conversation Harrison Ford is like
it's such a I don't know, it's

2091
02:46:46.799 --> 02:46:50.719
still it's still the Harrison Ford for
so many people, and this movie is

2092
02:46:52.079 --> 02:46:56.040
that can't wait for that for k
to come out and are they doing it.

2093
02:46:56.879 --> 02:47:01.600
They're doing it, oh Man studio
in the u K. Yeah,

2094
02:47:01.760 --> 02:47:07.959
the UK four K. No,
you need to hear. You can watch

2095
02:47:09.040 --> 02:47:11.959
the four K. Oh, that's
true. Yeah, it's bumbling slobs.

2096
02:47:13.760 --> 02:47:16.879
See. But the other thing is
u K they have that that you know,

2097
02:47:18.319 --> 02:47:22.440
uh, you know uh British you
know, b f C, A

2098
02:47:22.760 --> 02:47:28.159
whatever branding on the packaging, and
I don't like that. I think it's

2099
02:47:28.280 --> 02:47:33.239
ugly. I prefer you guys,
you hate to stop signs. You know.

2100
02:47:35.879 --> 02:47:39.639
I've loosened up about this, Believe
me, I've loosened up about this.

2101
02:47:39.799 --> 02:47:41.399
I used to be like, if
if it had that on it,

2102
02:47:41.520 --> 02:47:46.280
I just wouldn't buy it. And
now I've loosened up. Well, you

2103
02:47:46.440 --> 02:47:50.200
you're you're you'll be happy to know
that some some companies actually make appeelable now,

2104
02:47:50.280 --> 02:47:56.319
so you can actually I like that. It's only there because it has

2105
02:47:56.440 --> 02:48:01.920
to be. Are we still talking
about are you still go have things?

2106
02:48:01.000 --> 02:48:05.200
I'm not having a conversation. We
can go to your number two. My

2107
02:48:05.360 --> 02:48:09.840
two is the conversation as well.
And let me just add to the conversation

2108
02:48:09.920 --> 02:48:18.159
about the conversation that it's one of
the great films about loneliness that and and

2109
02:48:18.319 --> 02:48:24.440
fits into just this kind of urban
paranoia with h I mean, there's things

2110
02:48:24.520 --> 02:48:28.399
about that movie that are hard to
put into words, like, you know,

2111
02:48:28.319 --> 02:48:35.120
just the perfection of that clear rain
jacket that Gene Hackman wears throughout the

2112
02:48:35.200 --> 02:48:39.680
movie. Whose idea was that it's
perfect and yet it's such a weird choice

2113
02:48:39.719 --> 02:48:43.440
because you don't see that in movies, you know, things like that.

2114
02:48:43.639 --> 02:48:48.319
It's just a spot on movie in
so many ways. Uh. Sound designer

2115
02:48:48.440 --> 02:48:52.399
Walter Merch uh needs to be mentioned
here too, because he's a genius.

2116
02:48:52.520 --> 02:48:56.000
A couple of worked with him throughout
his career, at least through Tetro.

2117
02:48:58.239 --> 02:49:03.319
Merch went famously what USC with George
Lucas and helped you know, they were

2118
02:49:03.360 --> 02:49:09.000
buddies in USC film school and then
you know, went on. Yeah,

2119
02:49:09.079 --> 02:49:13.920
Walter Merch did the sound design for
American Graffiti, produced by Coppola, directed

2120
02:49:13.959 --> 02:49:16.760
by Lucas, of course, and
and then the sound design for The Conversation,

2121
02:49:18.079 --> 02:49:22.399
which is also in a very different
way from the brilliant sound design of

2122
02:49:22.440 --> 02:49:30.479
American Graffiti. It's also you know, just so the way it guides the

2123
02:49:30.639 --> 02:49:35.280
ear to what's going on on screen
before it guides the eye before you know,

2124
02:49:35.719 --> 02:49:43.319
it's it's genius. It's such a
great, wonderfully made movie that it's

2125
02:49:43.360 --> 02:49:48.399
starred near number one, but it's
number two for me. I'm glad you

2126
02:49:48.440 --> 02:49:52.239
said Paranoia. There's something special about
the Paranoia films in the seventies that really

2127
02:49:52.319 --> 02:49:56.760
yeah, that's great, Yeah,
so magnificent. I mean. And what's

2128
02:49:56.879 --> 02:50:01.159
crazy is they were all coming from
this similar like angle, but they all

2129
02:50:01.239 --> 02:50:05.520
feel so different when you watch them. All a lot of things endlessly entertaining

2130
02:50:05.559 --> 02:50:09.399
about them. It was just a
great decade from them. It's just zeitgeisty,

2131
02:50:09.479 --> 02:50:13.959
you know. It's that that that
post Vietnam or Vietnam's winding down and

2132
02:50:13.040 --> 02:50:16.520
you got your water Gate and you
got you know, just a lot of

2133
02:50:16.639 --> 02:50:20.639
things that everybody's you know, pooped
out from the sixties and all the you

2134
02:50:20.719 --> 02:50:26.079
know, the protest and the anger
and and it's like drugs, well yeah,

2135
02:50:26.159 --> 02:50:30.680
and it's it's time for you know, what's the next thing, and

2136
02:50:30.719 --> 02:50:35.360
we're not even sure is there going
to be a world you know or not?

2137
02:50:35.760 --> 02:50:39.879
Uh and and uh, you know, we get these films that that

2138
02:50:39.159 --> 02:50:46.399
really, like something like The Conversation
really showcases the you know that zek so

2139
02:50:46.559 --> 02:50:52.879
well so bring on the four k
fellas, all right, Mark number two

2140
02:50:52.000 --> 02:50:56.799
for you, sir. Number two
is uh Apocalypse Now. I mean that

2141
02:51:00.079 --> 02:51:05.680
it's a film that was talked about
from older siblings to younger siblings. I

2142
02:51:05.760 --> 02:51:11.319
think when it came out, I
was probably eleven ten, I can't remember.

2143
02:51:11.399 --> 02:51:13.920
But anyway, when I was old
enough to watch it, you know,

2144
02:51:13.120 --> 02:51:20.040
had already reached this mythical status.
And usually when that happens, you

2145
02:51:20.079 --> 02:51:24.520
know, it's usually horror movies that
build you know, on the school school

2146
02:51:24.600 --> 02:51:30.319
grounds. But it's one of the
few ones that I felt personally lived up

2147
02:51:30.319 --> 02:51:33.520
to whatever hype that I had hyped
it up to be. It was everything

2148
02:51:33.600 --> 02:51:41.559
I was wanting basically, and it
you know, frequent rewatching and then like

2149
02:51:41.639 --> 02:51:43.639
I said, I saw you know, the reducts or and then and then

2150
02:51:45.280 --> 02:51:50.399
that crazy bootleg version that I had. You know, it's just it's just

2151
02:51:50.879 --> 02:51:54.440
it's incredible. Actually I should have
I got the eight track soundtrack of it

2152
02:51:56.479 --> 02:51:58.959
recently, and I should have had
it next to me here. But everything

2153
02:52:00.360 --> 02:52:05.200
from you know, the music,
to cinematography to the acting, and it

2154
02:52:05.360 --> 02:52:07.879
was you know, and then of
course hearing of the back story makes it

2155
02:52:07.920 --> 02:52:13.000
even more mythological. At this point
too. You know, it's just it's

2156
02:52:13.079 --> 02:52:20.200
incredible. So that's that's that's my
number two pick. Basically, I'll be

2157
02:52:20.280 --> 02:52:30.079
talking about that more soon. He's
documentary about the making of the Hearts of

2158
02:52:30.120 --> 02:52:35.239
Darkness of Filmmakers Apocalypse. If anybody
out there is somehow not familiar with this,

2159
02:52:35.479 --> 02:52:41.719
it's might be the greatest documentary about
filmmaking and a filmmaker, you know,

2160
02:52:43.319 --> 02:52:50.479
going against the odds and praying mentally
uh while everything around him and somehow

2161
02:52:50.799 --> 02:52:56.079
it results in this, this masterpiece. Well, I will go fairly quickly

2162
02:52:56.159 --> 02:53:00.959
with my number two. I'm gonna
jump all the way back too, Dracula

2163
02:53:01.079 --> 02:53:05.159
for this one. Again. Something
about the setting in this is just enough

2164
02:53:05.239 --> 02:53:09.000
to make me every single time fall
in love the set design this is astonishing.

2165
02:53:09.200 --> 02:53:13.840
It is such a beautiful movie to
look at, and I mean the

2166
02:53:13.879 --> 02:53:20.000
makeup's great. Gary Oldman is terrifying
and somehow magnetic and weird and beautiful and

2167
02:53:20.200 --> 02:53:24.920
hideous and I love it. And
yeah, everything about this This movie was

2168
02:53:26.000 --> 02:53:31.040
such a weird movie to watch as
a child when I shouldn't have, but

2169
02:53:31.440 --> 02:53:35.239
yeah, it made me love it
from early on. And now I assume

2170
02:53:35.239 --> 02:53:37.639
we're gonna be talking a lot about
the same movie. What's your number one,

2171
02:53:37.719 --> 02:53:43.360
Jim, it's poc Ups now,
Yes, and yeah, it's it's

2172
02:53:43.879 --> 02:53:52.680
pretty far and away my number one. I just earlier Mark used the word

2173
02:53:52.799 --> 02:53:58.520
mythical talking about Apocalypse Now and that
that's a big I don't know. There's

2174
02:53:58.559 --> 02:54:05.680
certainly certain works of you know,
pop culture that somehow transcend the maker,

2175
02:54:05.760 --> 02:54:09.040
you know what I'm talking about,
Like, you know, went and saw

2176
02:54:09.079 --> 02:54:13.079
the Rolling Stones in Denver last week
and the song you know, they can

2177
02:54:13.120 --> 02:54:16.280
play the party songs and it's fun, but they play painted black or not

2178
02:54:16.680 --> 02:54:18.879
well painted black, and then they
play, you know, Sympathy for the

2179
02:54:18.920 --> 02:54:24.600
Devil. These are songs that transcend
them and they're on this other plane somehow.

2180
02:54:24.079 --> 02:54:28.639
Apocalypse Now to me is one of
those works. It's on this other

2181
02:54:30.520 --> 02:54:37.319
level of like and it's just the
theatrical cut is my go to, of

2182
02:54:37.399 --> 02:54:39.639
course, I think like most people. I think that's what Mark said to

2183
02:54:41.239 --> 02:54:45.639
then I would say the final cut, which is a few years old,

2184
02:54:46.399 --> 02:54:50.479
and when they screen it these days
that tend at movie theaters, we tend

2185
02:54:50.559 --> 02:54:56.479
it tends to be the final cut. It's fine, but it does keep

2186
02:54:56.600 --> 02:55:01.440
that French plantation scene in there,
which we could all do out a couple

2187
02:55:01.520 --> 02:55:05.120
of like once, you know,
because sure, yeah, yeah, definitely

2188
02:55:05.239 --> 02:55:09.479
once. I would recommend the Reducts. Watched the Reducts once. You know.

2189
02:55:11.000 --> 02:55:13.840
I took my daughter, who's my
you know, my four kids,

2190
02:55:13.879 --> 02:55:20.000
she's she's the only film buff.
I took her to see Apocalypse Now a

2191
02:55:20.120 --> 02:55:24.200
year ago, last summer, and
she was fifteen then, and I think

2192
02:55:24.239 --> 02:55:26.200
it was maybe a little too soon. She hadn't seen a lot of be

2193
02:55:26.440 --> 02:55:30.719
I don't think she's seen any Vietnam
movies. I don't think she'd seen any

2194
02:55:31.719 --> 02:55:39.879
movies that harrowing, and I think
it was too much. But I was

2195
02:55:39.959 --> 02:55:41.959
explaining to her all the stuff in
the Reducts that is out. You know.

2196
02:55:43.120 --> 02:55:46.719
It's like, you know, yeah, there's the weird scene where the

2197
02:55:46.760 --> 02:55:50.319
playboy bunnies come and their muses,
you know, they're they're like the mythical

2198
02:55:50.440 --> 02:55:52.959
muses, and uh, you know, then later in the Reducts, you

2199
02:55:54.000 --> 02:55:56.639
know, they find them crashed in
a helicopter and the guys get to have

2200
02:55:56.760 --> 02:55:58.639
sex with them. You know,
it's like, well, that's in it.

2201
02:56:00.159 --> 02:56:03.840
You know, that's not in the
final cut, of course, you

2202
02:56:03.959 --> 02:56:09.479
know, it's Susie q is.
But anyway, I'm rambling Apocalypse Now.

2203
02:56:09.479 --> 02:56:15.360
I just love it so much.
I think Walter Merch wrote a book about

2204
02:56:15.600 --> 02:56:18.520
it, about the making of it, and it's just one of the great

2205
02:56:18.760 --> 02:56:24.040
film books. I've got these shelves
behind me filled with with film books.

2206
02:56:24.079 --> 02:56:28.559
That's a film book library, and
that's one of the great film books.

2207
02:56:30.000 --> 02:56:35.479
Is Merch's Apocalypse Now book. I
can't remember the title because I'm a it's

2208
02:56:35.600 --> 02:56:43.079
it's late but anyhow, boy,
I don't know. It's it's far and

2209
02:56:43.079 --> 02:56:46.920
away, It's it's on a different
level, you guys, I don't know

2210
02:56:46.959 --> 02:56:50.799
what else to say. Yeah,
this is the This is number one for

2211
02:56:50.879 --> 02:56:54.360
me, primarily because it is It's
Apocalypse Now, and it's just so so

2212
02:56:54.760 --> 02:57:00.600
different. It is one of those
movies that is uh. I feel like

2213
02:57:00.680 --> 02:57:05.239
saying an epic is not saying quite
enough about it. It has so many

2214
02:57:05.319 --> 02:57:09.120
things that it kind of defines the
genre that that it is in and also

2215
02:57:09.440 --> 02:57:13.760
inspired and also ruined for every other
movie that was going to come after.

2216
02:57:13.840 --> 02:57:20.600
Its lots of stories behind it,
which make the film itself almost like folklore,

2217
02:57:22.120 --> 02:57:26.680
and so with that, like there's
something about it that's just special and

2218
02:57:26.879 --> 02:57:31.200
uh yeah, so I agree,
it's number one. But Mark, what

2219
02:57:31.280 --> 02:57:37.159
do you got at number one?
I cheated. I kind of did two

2220
02:57:39.920 --> 02:57:46.000
two, being the first way that
I saw Godfather, which was on TV,

2221
02:57:48.200 --> 02:57:54.200
and Coppola edited part two and part
one to be in chronological order,

2222
02:57:54.799 --> 02:58:01.239
so it starts with de Niro and
then moves up to you know, Cuba

2223
02:58:01.479 --> 02:58:05.600
and things like that. It's called
The Godfather Saga, and it's it's two

2224
02:58:05.639 --> 02:58:11.399
and one, and I think,
if I remember correctly, he added footage

2225
02:58:11.559 --> 02:58:16.719
that was not in the films,
and of course took out footage that was

2226
02:58:16.799 --> 02:58:20.680
probably too intense for TV at the
time. But I don't, you know,

2227
02:58:20.799 --> 02:58:24.440
it's just I think it was very
rated today, probably still be an

2228
02:58:24.600 --> 02:58:28.520
R but both of those films,
but you know, I don't know there

2229
02:58:28.600 --> 02:58:33.840
being too many scenes that were cut
out. But I was thoroughly entranced by

2230
02:58:33.959 --> 02:58:39.559
The Godfather Saga, and it kind
of messed me up when I saw the

2231
02:58:39.639 --> 02:58:48.639
movie separately later, and I still
fully enjoy watching those over and over again.

2232
02:58:48.680 --> 02:58:52.639
I don't think there's a way to
watch him anymore. He absolutely disavows

2233
02:58:54.000 --> 02:58:58.639
that version of the Godfather, and
you know, Paramou is not gonna do

2234
02:58:58.639 --> 02:59:03.360
anything to piss him all. They're
not gonna put it out, you know,

2235
02:59:03.559 --> 02:59:07.280
so in the day, didn't it
get a VHS for at least it

2236
02:59:07.319 --> 02:59:11.479
didn't. Yeah, it's awesome VHS. Yeah, I remember seeing that in

2237
02:59:13.639 --> 02:59:16.079
Yeah, it's like it was.
It was. It was basically a mini

2238
02:59:16.159 --> 02:59:18.520
series, you know, like they
cut up into like a mini series.

2239
02:59:20.360 --> 02:59:22.559
There was the second Sight, Dawn
of the Dead of Its Day, this

2240
02:59:24.239 --> 02:59:33.840
VHS thing you could buy of of
of Godfather and everything else. There we

2241
02:59:33.920 --> 02:59:37.799
go Cevestry saying, I get a
nice VHS sat of the Cool Yeah.

2242
02:59:37.040 --> 02:59:41.000
Yeah, but but going back and
watching the original films brilliant, awesome,

2243
02:59:41.120 --> 02:59:46.440
all that stuff as well. But
it really did. It's almost like your

2244
02:59:46.479 --> 02:59:48.120
first impression is always going to be
the best, I guess a lot of

2245
02:59:48.159 --> 02:59:52.879
times. And I felt like that
to me, the way it was presented

2246
02:59:52.920 --> 02:59:58.040
to me when I saw it on
TV, that really is to me the

2247
02:59:58.120 --> 03:00:01.000
way to see it. And and
maybe I can just cut it out myself.

2248
03:00:01.040 --> 03:00:05.239
I don't know, I'm not that
big on iMovie or whatever, but

2249
03:00:05.639 --> 03:00:11.319
I find some way to do it
to to pease pease my desire to see

2250
03:00:11.319 --> 03:00:15.920
it that way again. But I
still have hope that maybe someday, you

2251
03:00:16.000 --> 03:00:18.079
know, well, well we'll be
able to check it out again. But

2252
03:00:18.360 --> 03:00:22.840
but yeah, Godfather's Saga is whatever. Yeah, that was a nice,

2253
03:00:22.879 --> 03:00:28.680
sneaky pick. I love it,
and I think it counts because if you

2254
03:00:28.760 --> 03:00:31.639
look at you know, uh oh
yeah again, letterboxed. If you go

2255
03:00:31.760 --> 03:00:33.799
on Letterbox and you click on Francis
for a couple and you see all his

2256
03:00:35.000 --> 03:00:41.479
movies, I think Godfather Saga is
a separate Okay, You're never going to

2257
03:00:41.520 --> 03:00:46.319
be one hundred percent complete until you've
not only seen all three regular Godfather cuts,

2258
03:00:46.399 --> 03:00:52.639
and then you also need to somehow
watch that right right, I mean

2259
03:00:52.719 --> 03:00:56.479
he he worked on it, so
like he It wasn't like he said,

2260
03:00:56.040 --> 03:01:00.479
you do whatever. He worked on
it, so you know it was his

2261
03:01:00.639 --> 03:01:05.159
own You're right, it is technically
his own piece of art. So so

2262
03:01:05.280 --> 03:01:09.239
yeah, but that's the only one, the only recut that is, and

2263
03:01:09.399 --> 03:01:13.479
like you mentioned earlier, a couple
of recuts everything now everything, Yeah,

2264
03:01:13.600 --> 03:01:18.559
and you know outsiders and what I
mean, you know Dracula, I think

2265
03:01:18.600 --> 03:01:20.840
got it, didn't it? Or
did it not get it? Yet?

2266
03:01:24.200 --> 03:01:26.719
There is a drug. There is
a Drudgers kind of dress. Okay,

2267
03:01:26.360 --> 03:01:33.159
yeah, one from the heart of
course. Uh so many things. I

2268
03:01:33.239 --> 03:01:37.399
have my list of most fascinating that
are not all good movies like TwixT.

2269
03:01:39.079 --> 03:01:43.440
I just watched for the first time. I did not enjoy it. I

2270
03:01:43.479 --> 03:01:48.239
think it's like somebody here who said
it is a student film. It's up

2271
03:01:48.280 --> 03:01:52.479
here at the top TwixT is a
dope student film. Props for writs for

2272
03:01:52.559 --> 03:01:56.159
a couple of giving props to p
XL Vision Rocker. Okay, I don't

2273
03:01:56.200 --> 03:02:01.040
know what we're talking about there,
but uh uh that that comment, Yes,

2274
03:02:01.399 --> 03:02:05.840
a dope student film is about right. I think Val Kilmer is terribly

2275
03:02:05.399 --> 03:02:09.079
miss Castanetta, and I like Val
Kilmer, but I don't know that he

2276
03:02:09.159 --> 03:02:16.440
belongs in this movie playing this writer
anyway. The weird thing about TwixT,

2277
03:02:16.520 --> 03:02:20.280
you guys, is that apparently there's
a scene where Vel Kilmer's character has a

2278
03:02:20.360 --> 03:02:26.920
flashback about the death of his daughter, and it is remarkably eerily similar to

2279
03:02:28.079 --> 03:02:33.440
the death of Francis Coppola's son in
real life. Geo gian Carlo died in

2280
03:02:35.200 --> 03:02:41.479
like this boating accident with a rope
yea. His oldest son was was sadly

2281
03:02:41.920 --> 03:02:48.479
killed in this boating accident where you
know he was he was like decapitated or

2282
03:02:48.520 --> 03:02:52.600
something. I mean is horrible and
and here in this flashback, we have

2283
03:02:52.920 --> 03:03:01.639
this scene, uh in TwixT,
where that's how Val Kilmer's characters daughter dies.

2284
03:03:01.719 --> 03:03:05.000
I guess, you know, it
even kind of shows it, not

2285
03:03:05.200 --> 03:03:11.799
in gory detail, but I can't
imagine being a director and deciding to film

2286
03:03:11.879 --> 03:03:18.840
that it's for him. Maybe maybe, and you know, but anyhow,

2287
03:03:18.040 --> 03:03:22.120
that's in there. So you know, we've got to point to twist is

2288
03:03:22.239 --> 03:03:26.360
something. It may not be a
good movie, but it's darn fascinating for

2289
03:03:26.520 --> 03:03:31.520
these reasons. I watched a couple
of very first feature. I think it's

2290
03:03:31.520 --> 03:03:35.959
his first, maybe it's a second. It's called Tonight for sure, and

2291
03:03:35.040 --> 03:03:41.559
I had to watch that thing on
the internet archive recently on the website.

2292
03:03:41.600 --> 03:03:46.280
It's a terrible, terrible print of
a terrible, terrible movie. It's made

2293
03:03:46.280 --> 03:03:52.200
in nineteen sixty one. It's a
nudy movie. He took this like western,

2294
03:03:52.520 --> 03:03:58.440
soft corenody couple in his early career. This is how he got us

2295
03:03:58.440 --> 03:04:01.159
foot in the door, was making
these you know kind of you know,

2296
03:04:01.360 --> 03:04:09.399
gurly cheesecakey exploitation movies. So he
took an unfinished Gurly Western and his own

2297
03:04:09.520 --> 03:04:15.520
student film, which is basically a
guy is a Peeping Tom movie. So

2298
03:04:15.600 --> 03:04:18.760
it's called the Peeper. It's three
minutes long, and you could see this

2299
03:04:18.920 --> 03:04:24.000
on Internet archives as well, if
you're so inclined. A guy looking through

2300
03:04:24.399 --> 03:04:30.440
the door at a art photography studio
where a woman takes off all her clothes

2301
03:04:30.959 --> 03:04:35.239
poses seductively, and then the guy
goes in the door. He can't take

2302
03:04:35.280 --> 03:04:41.319
it. He goes in the door
and there is a unattractive for him,

2303
03:04:41.600 --> 03:04:46.239
unattractive female photographer sitting there and oh, dang it, wouldn't you just all

2304
03:04:46.360 --> 03:04:50.319
the dumb luck? What happened?
What happened to the hottie that is he

2305
03:04:50.479 --> 03:04:54.479
so he cuts those movies together and
makes this one called Tonight for Sure.

2306
03:04:56.000 --> 03:05:01.360
And to think that ten years later, this same filmmaker will make the freaking

2307
03:05:01.760 --> 03:05:07.920
Godfather. It blows your mind,
Like, how did the guy that made

2308
03:05:07.959 --> 03:05:15.959
this, like, you know,
gaudy piece of trash you know, go

2309
03:05:16.719 --> 03:05:18.639
you know, go on to make
the Godfather. It just goes to show

2310
03:05:18.760 --> 03:05:26.200
you, you know, So there's
that Tonight for sure. Megalopolis is a

2311
03:05:26.319 --> 03:05:31.559
very interesting project, even though we
haven't seen it yet. One from the

2312
03:05:31.639 --> 03:05:37.239
heart, of course, is endlessly
fascinating for the stories behind it. I

2313
03:05:37.399 --> 03:05:41.079
have a DVD that came out back
in the early two thousands. It's a

2314
03:05:41.159 --> 03:05:48.920
two discs set full of behind the
scenes documentary. So yeah, one from

2315
03:05:48.959 --> 03:05:52.120
the heart. I'm looking forward to
upgrading that DVD. I hope all those

2316
03:05:52.159 --> 03:05:58.760
extras are on it. Yeah,
No, company was his son, Fantoms

2317
03:05:58.159 --> 03:06:05.000
Phantomas what that the company that put
it out was his son. Oh ultimately,

2318
03:06:05.280 --> 03:06:09.879
yeah, so that explains the access
to Copyla. I guess I guess

2319
03:06:09.840 --> 03:06:13.559
there. Yeah, yeah, yeah, no love for Dementia thirteen. People

2320
03:06:13.600 --> 03:06:16.799
are talking about that in the comments. Uh, that was a good one.

2321
03:06:16.959 --> 03:06:22.239
I like it. Yeah, yeah, it's good. And also somebody

2322
03:06:22.319 --> 03:06:26.639
mentions up here about the nudy quties
from Keno Larber. I reviewed that for

2323
03:06:26.840 --> 03:06:31.799
zeke Film my site. Pretty sure. I just bought it from Keino today.

2324
03:06:31.319 --> 03:06:35.559
I don't think Tonight for sure is
on the movie. Tonight for sure

2325
03:06:35.639 --> 03:06:41.040
is on the nudy qts. It's
the other nudy Culpola movie, the Something

2326
03:06:41.120 --> 03:06:46.840
in the Playgirls. Yeah, but
it is. They sure leaned into the

2327
03:06:46.879 --> 03:06:50.239
advertising that is literally listed on the
front of the set and saying including three

2328
03:06:50.319 --> 03:06:56.120
D footage film friends Ford Copola.
Yeah, I saw a he was working

2329
03:06:56.159 --> 03:06:58.879
I think for Corman for a while
but it wasn't recording. But like they

2330
03:07:00.280 --> 03:07:03.200
like I want to say, was
it a Russian sci fi movie or something?

2331
03:07:03.040 --> 03:07:07.479
And then European sci fi movie?
And then they and then they recut

2332
03:07:07.520 --> 03:07:13.680
it for the American audiences, and
they made these two aliens monsters. One

2333
03:07:13.799 --> 03:07:18.440
was definitely phallic and the other one
was definitely a vagina. And it was

2334
03:07:18.719 --> 03:07:22.920
it was hysterical, you know that
they got everything. Everything slid by whatever

2335
03:07:24.000 --> 03:07:26.719
sensors there were at the time.
It probably showed it the kids, you

2336
03:07:26.840 --> 03:07:33.639
know, and the three pm Mattine
or something, nineteen fifty nine's Battle beyond

2337
03:07:33.760 --> 03:07:37.399
the Sun. That's it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, and maybe somebody

2338
03:07:37.440 --> 03:07:43.120
out there knows if that's available,
uh yeah, said no. Yeah.

2339
03:07:43.799 --> 03:07:46.600
The the Bell Boy and the Playgirls
is the name of the movie on the

2340
03:07:46.719 --> 03:07:52.680
Kenot the Culporo movie on the keynot
Larber three d qts. And it's not

2341
03:07:52.879 --> 03:07:56.840
good, but it isn't you know. It's a it's a curio A Battle

2342
03:07:56.879 --> 03:08:01.440
beyond the Sun. Is that out
there in any way? Whatsoever? All

2343
03:08:01.520 --> 03:08:03.000
I know is if I want to
watch it, I can watch it on

2344
03:08:03.079 --> 03:08:09.280
an app called Plex, which is
probably full of ads and utterly crappy quality,

2345
03:08:11.120 --> 03:08:15.639
but I'm just guessing, I don't
know, definitely doesn't have an HD

2346
03:08:15.799 --> 03:08:18.680
release at all. Okay, so
that maybe film masters could tackle you know,

2347
03:08:18.760 --> 03:08:26.680
that's your alley. Absolutely, here's
first, let's announce it. Yeah,

2348
03:08:26.920 --> 03:08:33.440
no, that's right, right,
you have your assignment. Wait a

2349
03:08:33.520 --> 03:08:39.639
minute, it was Russian? Right? Oh did you go to beddiff crocodile?

2350
03:08:39.760 --> 03:08:46.040
I was probably restoring in the background
as we say that. Maybe,

2351
03:08:46.319 --> 03:08:52.639
yeah, so yeah, anyways,
what was I talking about? Oh,

2352
03:08:52.239 --> 03:08:56.600
one from the heart. Then,
of course the most fascinating couple of movie

2353
03:08:56.639 --> 03:08:58.879
of all has to be Apocalypse now
again, you know, for all the

2354
03:09:00.000 --> 03:09:05.360
reasons we've already mentioned. So that's
there, you go, guys. Yeah,

2355
03:09:05.920 --> 03:09:09.680
yeah, yeah. I'm curious a
skid through an article saying that,

2356
03:09:09.959 --> 03:09:16.159
like for this, for screenings at
Megalopolis, there's a live scene in the

2357
03:09:16.280 --> 03:09:22.000
film where there's such a company that
I've in the theater you're in, right,

2358
03:09:22.159 --> 03:09:28.239
that some of these screenings are going
to have somebody doing that part.

2359
03:09:28.559 --> 03:09:33.479
And I don't know how that works. I get the impression that we're not

2360
03:09:33.559 --> 03:09:39.319
supposed to know that because I read
reviews out of can and they didn't mention

2361
03:09:39.479 --> 03:09:45.719
it, but my kids knew it
somehow, that you know, and they're

2362
03:09:45.760 --> 03:09:50.319
not even they don't even have their
ear to the entertainment press the way that

2363
03:09:50.639 --> 03:09:54.360
some of us do. So it's
weird that I hadn't heard. I thought

2364
03:09:54.440 --> 03:09:58.600
maybe they were getting misinformation. But
apparently it's true that there is a live,

2365
03:09:58.799 --> 03:10:03.760
in active thing where's actor and actor
or actors come out and interact with

2366
03:10:03.920 --> 03:10:09.440
whatever's going on at some point.
And by the way, that's not new.

2367
03:10:09.799 --> 03:10:16.280
Winsor McKay the animator did this in
nineteen fourteen with his Gerdy the Dinosaur

2368
03:10:16.440 --> 03:10:20.600
film, where he stood next to
the screen and yelled at Gerdy the animated

2369
03:10:20.680 --> 03:10:26.239
dinosaur on screen and interacted with it. So Coppola is just, you know,

2370
03:10:26.399 --> 03:10:31.000
bringing back a very very old gimmick, but a gimmick nonetheless, and

2371
03:10:31.079 --> 03:10:39.520
I hope that we can see it
that way. I'll do it. I'll

2372
03:10:39.520 --> 03:10:41.079
be the guy. I'll come out
and do the part. If it comes

2373
03:10:41.120 --> 03:10:46.639
down to you, I'm sure.
I'm sure Alano Draftouse will have the live

2374
03:10:46.760 --> 03:10:50.079
actors, right, I mean,
they'll If there's anybody who's going to do

2375
03:10:50.120 --> 03:10:52.520
it, he'll be them, I
hope. So I hope. So just

2376
03:10:52.680 --> 03:10:54.600
just make a server, you know, it's like they come out to bring

2377
03:10:54.680 --> 03:10:58.920
somebody the refill of popcorn there endless
popcorn and set it down and go running.

2378
03:11:00.680 --> 03:11:05.399
Uh to go do their their part
and then get back to work.

2379
03:11:07.799 --> 03:11:09.760
Stand here says I just looked at
a lobby card for Battle Beyond the Sun.

2380
03:11:09.920 --> 03:11:15.360
Yikes, even though the way that
Mark talked about it was not safe

2381
03:11:15.399 --> 03:11:16.600
for work. I'm gonna show it
on YouTube. He sent it to me.

2382
03:11:18.040 --> 03:11:24.079
Look at this this is and it's
so obvious. Oh, you're not

2383
03:11:24.200 --> 03:11:30.159
wrong, Mark, you are not
wrong. My god, I've vindicated.

2384
03:11:33.680 --> 03:11:41.120
That is wild. That's that that
should be Meliosne. Maybe maybe he'll put

2385
03:11:41.200 --> 03:11:46.440
that out. It's the next Peak
Rama title. Gentlemen. Uh, this

2386
03:11:46.559 --> 03:11:48.440
has been a wonderful night. Thank
you so much for talking about COPLA and

2387
03:11:48.520 --> 03:11:52.680
new releases and everything else. Before
we go anything, we want to shout

2388
03:11:52.719 --> 03:11:56.600
out Mark other than the current sale, anything else coming up and the sale

2389
03:11:56.840 --> 03:12:01.799
got more lined up. And feel
free too if you're ever in the region.

2390
03:12:03.079 --> 03:12:05.040
We have a physical store. We
are in Asheville, North Carolina.

2391
03:12:07.120 --> 03:12:11.000
Uh. People believe before we were
online, we're making pilgrimages to our store

2392
03:12:11.200 --> 03:12:16.040
too because they found out there's a
place that has movies for sale. And

2393
03:12:16.440 --> 03:12:20.639
uh, we love meeting people from
out of town. I love talking movies

2394
03:12:20.680 --> 03:12:24.479
with you and uh, come on
by. That's that's really what got going

2395
03:12:24.520 --> 03:12:26.559
on. We got a couple of
conventions coming up. Uh. We finally

2396
03:12:26.639 --> 03:12:30.360
got into a big one, horror
Hound. We've been trying to get into

2397
03:12:30.399 --> 03:12:33.319
that one for a couple of years. So so uh, I think I

2398
03:12:33.399 --> 03:12:37.559
think people sort of beat him down, he goes fine, or we could

2399
03:12:37.600 --> 03:12:43.000
come. But we're very thankful that
that we were we were allowed to come

2400
03:12:43.040 --> 03:12:48.200
into horror Hound this year. So
yeah, just just rocking and rolling and

2401
03:12:48.319 --> 03:12:52.000
keep going and and uh thanks to
everybody. Uh that's a customer out there.

2402
03:12:52.040 --> 03:12:54.879
It's been it's been a hell of
a ride, hell of a ride

2403
03:12:54.920 --> 03:12:58.040
here the past few years. And
it's it's only getting bigger. It's this

2404
03:12:58.479 --> 03:13:03.360
whole hot be I think is just
growing and growing. So there's so many

2405
03:13:03.520 --> 03:13:09.120
different facets to it that you know, we can't be stopped. You know,

2406
03:13:09.799 --> 03:13:11.959
I'll have to get you on sooner
than two years, and maybe we

2407
03:13:13.040 --> 03:13:16.239
can talk about that, like the
current state of the industry based on a

2408
03:13:16.399 --> 03:13:20.000
retailer that's touching everything. Yeah,
yeah, you know, and my my

2409
03:13:20.120 --> 03:13:24.360
experience is way different than probably what
Walmart was saying, you know, so

2410
03:13:24.760 --> 03:13:31.600
it's just once again, this is
a large market, you know. Yeahs

2411
03:13:35.360 --> 03:13:41.079
after you anything, you want to
shout up Steel books, you know those

2412
03:13:41.159 --> 03:13:46.520
dang Steel books man. Yeah,
yeah, no, I I'd like to

2413
03:13:46.559 --> 03:13:52.200
shout out my website, zekefilm dot
org. It is a non for profit

2414
03:13:52.360 --> 03:13:56.200
we call it. You know,
our tagline is community through Cinema and uh,

2415
03:13:56.399 --> 03:14:01.360
you know our idea back in the
day this this goes back to twenty

2416
03:14:01.479 --> 03:14:07.000
eleven in different incarnations. You know, we just try to you know,

2417
03:14:07.639 --> 03:14:13.639
the very basic thing like what's going
on here, trying to unite people through

2418
03:14:13.239 --> 03:14:18.600
love of movies or interest in movies, and that was a more novel thing

2419
03:14:18.760 --> 03:14:22.159
back in twenty eleven then maybe it
is now. But you know it remains

2420
03:14:22.239 --> 03:14:28.319
the tagline and the website is you
know, supposed to be a lot of

2421
03:14:28.360 --> 03:14:31.000
different things to all people. But
since I'm the one running it, I

2422
03:14:31.559 --> 03:14:35.920
know how to be a film critic. Basically, it's a movie review site.

2423
03:14:37.760 --> 03:14:41.280
That wasn't always the plan, but
that's what we've got. I'm open

2424
03:14:41.399 --> 03:14:48.479
to accepting content from you know,
you know, people that are interested,

2425
03:14:48.600 --> 03:14:52.879
but you know, we review movies
and it's a labor of love. It

2426
03:14:52.959 --> 03:14:54.799
doesn't make me any money. It
doesn't make anybody any money. There's no

2427
03:14:56.000 --> 03:14:58.959
ads on the site. If you
don't like looking at sites where ads are

2428
03:15:00.079 --> 03:15:05.840
intrusive while you're trying to read reviews
and things, Hopefully Zeke Film will be

2429
03:15:05.920 --> 03:15:09.639
for you. We try to,
you know, we always aim for intelligent

2430
03:15:09.319 --> 03:15:20.440
reviews and intelligent you know, informed
analysis and whatnot. We've got a gob

2431
03:15:20.680 --> 03:15:24.280
of content on there. One of
our contributors, his name's Paul Hibbert.

2432
03:15:24.680 --> 03:15:28.520
He's a local Saint Louis filmmaker.
He's been with Zeke Film before he even

2433
03:15:28.639 --> 03:15:33.680
got into his current phase of filmmaking. He launched a film festival that is

2434
03:15:33.760 --> 03:15:39.559
currently launching tonight, a horror festival
called Hysteria Fest, where he's bringing in

2435
03:15:41.280 --> 03:15:46.239
short horror films from all over the
place and showing them at a local microcinema

2436
03:15:46.280 --> 03:15:50.399
and bar. And we've got a
lot of Hysteria Fest coverage just because Paul

2437
03:15:50.520 --> 03:15:54.280
is one of us, and you
know, why not promote his festival.

2438
03:15:54.159 --> 03:16:00.559
So that's on there right now.
I've got a dual room view that just

2439
03:16:00.600 --> 03:16:05.559
went up of Quiet Place Day One. Saw that the other night. And

2440
03:16:05.200 --> 03:16:09.639
yeah, we've got a new review
of Daddy Oh, we've got a silloscope

2441
03:16:09.680 --> 03:16:13.239
film called the vertill Act or vertill
Act. It's a vampire thing French.

2442
03:16:15.280 --> 03:16:20.079
I'm probably saying it way wrong,
but one of our new contributors, Claire

2443
03:16:20.760 --> 03:16:26.760
is her name, Claire mitch Hoosted, has this review of this horror French

2444
03:16:26.799 --> 03:16:30.559
horror film again at zekefilm dot org. Give it a try, folks.

2445
03:16:31.760 --> 03:16:35.639
I don't think I have anything else
to say. Thank you so much,

2446
03:16:35.719 --> 03:16:41.159
Ryan, thank you as you all
shout out. Then if you're looking for

2447
03:16:41.280 --> 03:16:45.000
more of that community, we've got
a discord through the Disconnected channel, come

2448
03:16:45.040 --> 03:16:48.760
on, hangout. And then the
newest venture is trying to get the physical

2449
03:16:48.799 --> 03:16:54.639
media advocate this magazine out to everybody's
hands, and it's in a bunch of

2450
03:16:54.719 --> 03:16:58.280
states across the US and going hopefully
to Canada and Australia soon. Talking to

2451
03:16:58.280 --> 03:17:03.319
a couple of retails and we'll see
what happens next. Yeah, that's all

2452
03:17:03.360 --> 03:17:07.799
I got, gentlemen. I would
love to have both you back, please
