N a. Hey, hey, welcome to Thursday, everybody. Hope everybody
is doing well. Sorry for the shaking there, getting everything set up very
very quickly tonight. Hope all are doing well. And of course, as
usual, first Thursday of every month we have with us doctor Will Dodson.
Hello Will, Hey, everybody, Happy Pride Month, Happy indeed happy Juneteenth.
I got a funny Pride Month story for you. Sure start it right
off. Yeah, So there's some construction going on in our neighborhood. They're
working on water pipes under the road. So these giant construction people with their
giant construction tools and bulldozers come in and they tear up the street and rip
up the pipes and dig with their shovels, and they frequently block people's method
of egress the driveways. That's what I'm saying to you. And so early
one morning, it was about like six forty five, because they come in
full volume at like six point thirty six forty five, and I walked out
to to talk with these construction fellas to make sure that they left the driveway
clear so that my lovely wife could get out and go to work. And
I talked to you know, I was trying to show that I was hurly
burly just like they were. I was like, you know, kind of
how many inches is that shovel you got there? You know, are you
using a flat flat shovel or tapered you know that kind of stuff when we
talk about tools. And they're kind of laughing at me. I'm like,
yah, yeah, I'm a geek. Whatever. So I turned around and
I had back I got my coffee in my hand, and you know,
I've got a lot of students who who who love and adore me, and
occasionally they'll give me gifts. And so I get back in and I see
my reflection in the in one of the and realized that I was wearing one
of those gifts, and it was this. For those who are listening to
the podcast, this is a T shirt that reads, I heart my hot
Italian boyfriend. I must talk to guys a good five minutes, just ask
what's going on? You know, how you doing? Appreciate the good work?
Just to be queer? Is that? Is that referencing something specific?
Uh? Just specifically, I love my hot Italian boyfriend. I was just
for me to get the line just to be queer in there? Uh,
We got a question from somebody that tried to ask last month, and for
some reason we didn't see it. They're gonna be listening tomorrow, So will
do you have any thoughts about any Jeff Speakman films? Have you seen Land
of the Free with Bill Shatner as an evil politician? I have not.
I think the only Jeff speaking in film I've seen is Perfect Weapon, which
I guess speaks to my masculinity issues. Doesn't Jeff speak mins. I'll check
him out, you know, But I'm afraid sorry to be a disappointment there
in the question. You've waited a whole month for what we've seen one film,
but that's definitely a blind spot that should be should be dealt with either
way. Yes, we're very happy to be there. Jack Kane, I
want to shout this out, says, restore the White Norsky Verse. Better
win at shelf Shock next year. I've heard that's a pretty damn great visual
essay on that new release of Pop top List from terr Vision. Well,
I'm sure doctor Bustier would appreciate hearing that. I'll pass that along. Yeah,
we do like feedback for him. Actually, that whole Pop Topolis disc
should win all the awards. It's fantastic. It is just Beane says,
you watched this last time Knack to get Starlett Is you're Ryan? Your microphone
is messing up, dude. Okay, well now it's working. Well,
I don't know what's going on. Maybe it was my computer. Probably Uh
oh, I got a new laptop from my place of employment, and wouldn't
you know, the battery is feeling kind of warm. Uh oh oh nop.
Craig says he heard it too. Okay, yeah, we set that
ship so I feel very beige in my setup here. It's a pretty beige
situation. Well, we can't hear Ryan, and you know what that means,
improv No, you sound exactly as before. Man, what are we
gonna do? I'm gonna call themulligan? Uh you you you vamped for a
moment? Works? Hey, tell tell some Joe Bob stories while we're waiting.
Wow, nice way to step on the intro to that. I'm sorry,
I'm having tech issues. Go ahead, Well you sound fine? Now
go ahead. Well I don't know why, but I was that was so
funny. Watch you just pull out another microphone, but it was like a
tree branch. It was like an arm because how about now? Is that
better? Now? Yeah, that sounds fine. I don't know. I'm
ok. Hey, now everybody can hear me. Let's let's get this actually
going. How how how is the last month? How you how you been?
R eleven thirty three asks if we can get another gay thing story from
me? Actually, just give it a few minutes you will. What did
you ask me? How's how's the last month been? Thunder just now I
still hear it. Yeah, this is a weird show already. Yoh.
And it was a momentous may A lot of really great things happened, as
we'll highlight, and a lot of really bad things, like horrible things that
I won't say and wish on anybody, but I wouldn't wish on anybody on
this chat. So it's been, it's been, and I know you been
going through it too. It's just been a really stressful time. And it's
a stressful time in America, it's a stressful time in the world. I
know a lot of people listening to the show can relate when we share that
we're we're stressed out and oh yeah live in some imagine dragon song. But
that's twenty one pilots, come on, get it together? What oh that
is a song by twenty one Pilots, not Imagine Dragons. I don't believe
I understood that there was a difference between those two groups. One of them
has talent, which one? Which one's the one yelling all the time like
they wrap and then they yell. That's twenty one Pilots, okay. And
then what's imagine dragons? Arena rock? Arena rock? Yeah, like the
modern Nickelback. Basically I thought Nickelback was the modern Nickelback. Nah, they're
a little past their pray. Wow with the flavors, you know. I
know this is cliche, but it's like the sun comes up and you start
over, you know what I mean? And I am very excited to share
some of the wonderful things that happened this past month in film and cinema and
whatnot Imagine Dragon. Okay, So twenty one Pilots are the ones that are
like blippity blippity hippie hippie. Let's not, let's not. I'm gonna have
to look up the Imagine Dragon. Then if I thought that I knew what
they were anyways, Uh, the first thing we want to talk about tonight
before we go into pickups and recent watches a pretty momentous thing for someone's favorite
productions. I kind of figured we should probably lead up with that and any
fan fear you want to go before I share the picture. Wow, there's
better pictures. But yeah, we got a pretty cool story that I think
Ryan alluded to well, I guess posted about earlier this week. So yeah,
pull it up there. So that's my living room, and how should
I tell the story? And we've never announced this was happening, right nop?
And this has been in the works for a quite a long time now,
Yeah. Yeah, So Joe Bob Briggs, you know, he's always
touring somewhere doing a show, and he announced a show in Durham, North
Carolina where he was going to do a double feature of Bubba Ho Tep and
Donnie Darko, and it so happened. Can I say, yeah, it's
been announced what this is for, right okay? And so since last summer
we've been working on some stuff for Gator Bait and Gator Bait two Cage and
Justice for Terror Vision And so I just sent a message to Joe Bob's assistant
saying, you know, hey, we're doing the thing for Gator Bait.
Would love to interview mister Briggs if he's available, if you'd like to do
it when he comes to the Durham show. I'm going to be at the
show. I have a ticket and everything, and he said yes. So
I was very excited because it's my I've been to some shows and gone through
the autograph lines and shaking hands and each time I say hey, I'm one
of the guys that edited American Twilight the Summer Tooby Hooper and he's like,
oh, yeah, how's it going, how's it doing? You know,
But this is the first time, like actually sitting down with him in person.
So I was very excited about this interview, very nervous. Well,
then we get to the week of and Joe Bob's assistant reaches out to the
venue to set up a time for us to do an interview, like in
a back room or somewhere, and the venue for whatever reason, was unable
to accommodate, and eventually just there wasn't there wasn't any possibility of the interview
happening, and so we looked at the hotel. We were a stam but
that was going to charge a bunch of money to use a room, and
you know, the interview was schedule for a Saturday, and up until like
that Thursday night, I thought it's going to get canceled. So I go
for the hail Mary, which involved me saying to yeah, Stan geezy and
I did a zoom stream with Joe Bob like two or three years ago,
about two and that's that was the first time. So I sent a message
and I said, listen, this is very unusual. I know that if
it's not comfortable, no problem, but I'm just looking for a solution.
I happened to live very close to the venue. I could pick him up
from the hotel. I could have the crew have a set ready for him
to step out of the car, get in there, do the thing,
and go take them straight at the venue. And I expected, you know,
no way, because that's I could do some torture point thing. And
he said sure, And so I show up to his hotel and I'm waiting
for him, and he comes down the hallway in that jacket and the guy
at the front desk of the hotel goes, damn, I like that jacket.
And we walked out to my Subaru Forester which I had detailed the day
before frantically, and I took a car ride about thirty minutes to the to
the house, walked in, I had a crew, everything was set up.
He sat down in my lawn chair that sits in my lawn and we
did an interview for about an hour. It was very expansive about and then
he very graciously signed autographs for all the crew, which included Rock Hudson,
who came in to check it out. He talked to him a little while,
and you know, he's got a friend who helped found co found the
North Carolina School of the Arts, which is just down the road from you
and See Greensboro, So he talked to because most of my crew were you
and Sea Greensboro media studies students, So he talked to him for a while,
and then we rode another half hour in the car to the venue.
And here's the funny part. Well, I mean it's already hilarious, right
because like, what the hell he's just coming to my living room. So
we get to the venue and park in the loading zone and get out with
him, and I walk him to the front door, past the line of
all the mutants who are waiting to get in, and we knock on the
door and they let us in. And so he's starting to work with his
volunteers who are running the merch line, were running merch sales while he does
autographs and stuff. So while he's doing that, I go park the car
come back is her course locked and an attendant opens up the door to let
somebody out, and I say, hey, can you let me back in?
I'm with Joe Bob. So she pulls up, she pulls out a
clipboard and she's like, what's your name. I'm like, well, I'm
not on the list, so never mind. But a guy behind her goes,
oh, no, no, no, he can come in. He's
mister Briggs driver. So you know, I got to go in and do
the the sort of VP area, not really vip A, but I was
just in there early with with Joe Bob and Darcy and it was just,
you know, it was a great day. He you know, he gave
up really three hours of his time total, which is a lot when you're
you know, seventy one years old and about to do about to sign autographs
for there were almost nine hundred people at the show. Yeah, and he
stayed for every single person, as he always does. So he was very
gracious and very kind. I have some more stories, some details of our
conversations off camera that I think we'll share at some point, make a video
for the Patreon. Is that what we're gonna do? Yeah, something like
that. And I will say that the only sad thing that happened that day,
of course, is that Roger Corman passed away that evening. But it
was a wonderful It's a sad moment, but it was a wonderful moment because
when Joe Bob was informed, he stood up and stopped the autograph line,
and he told everybody there that Corman passed away and that he was an icon
of American cinema and a great man and a friend, and he had all
of us share a moment of silence together and then and then he resumed signing
autographs, taking pictures, and great guy standpoints out, Joe Bob's a tall
man. I'm I'm six three, and Joe Bob's at least an inch maybe
too taller than Joe Bob is about the same height as me, I believe.
Yeah, he's a tall guy. Vandermilt Man, Yeah, so couldn't
be happier. So grateful to Terror Vision for supporting it, and of course
Joe Bob and his assistant Tracy for setting it up. And I guess thanks
to the venue for not being accommodating. Worked out pretty well for me.
Yeah, so it's a real dream come true, you know. I I
I'll share one one story. No, I'm not gonna share. So there's
the crew all right right there in the middle. I want to give a
shout out Neil and to Maya, she's the director. Yeah, everybody in
that crew did great. I mean they they dressed that set and looked really
good. There's a lot of little Easter eggs in the background in and out
of focus that you might at'll see when the interview does finally come out.
So we don't know exactly, excuse me, how that's going to pan out.
Gator Bait is going to be a two four K set. It'll be
the Gatorbait and Gatorbait two together as a double feature. It'll be either one
long interview or two, depending on how we edit the whole thing out.
But it's going to be a stupendous release. They've got a lot of stuff
coming over here. Yeah, which is amazing. Yeah, yeah, all
right, are we allowed to say any other special features? No, not
yet. Okay, next order of business before we get into pickups in recent
watches. In the last issue The Physical Media Advocate, there was a giveaway
listed for a brand new four K release of Frivolous Lola. Wow, this
is from a cult epics of course recent release. There was a simple question
that you had to answer and send the answer to an email address, and
of all of the entries that we got, we got one winter pick tonight
that goes to John Alo. Just so you're aware, if you are listening,
I will be reaching out to you via email. You're gonna get Frivless
Lola. And then also I'm a little too generous, so I'll probably throw
in like three or seven things on my own just to make you feel special.
So you got that coming to you. Thanks for everybody that entered,
Thanks for everybody that keeps reading The Physical Media Advocate. There's so much in
there, but that last issue was special. We're gonna talk about the next
issue in just a little bit, so I won't say too much about that
just yet. You know what they say about John Allen, What do they
say very soothing. I thought you're gonna say vera soothing? What's going on?
H Yes, Gator Bae, who is absolutely worth it alone. That
one's been much more difficult to see than Gator Bay one. So I'm excited.
I'm excited they got both. Yeah, I can't believe it. That's
uh, that's in my view, that's gonna be like the title that Terror
Vision is known for, at least for for this year. It'll be one
of the few big ones. I mean we got they already announced. We've
got big top pee wee coming this year too, So that's a big deal.
Hey, why don't you share some things you've been watching? Watches or
pickups? What's first? Uh, whatever, I'll let you choose tonight,
sir. Okay, I'll most start with watches then. So I recently did
a Deaf Crocodile double feature of Zero Grad and Assassin of the Czar. Both
incredible films, some of the last Soviet films released during Perestroika. Both have
commentaries by by Sam Degan, extensive interviews. Just really great. Yeah,
that's all. It is great for TV. These these are Yeah, I'm
sorry, I was trying to just what to say. About them. I
think Zero Grad actually is my favorite of the two, is really really funny,
gorgeously shot. They're both gorgeously shot, but Assassin is our stars Michael
Michael Malcolm McDowell, very different than Michael McDowell Malcolm McDowell. And you got
two versions of it. There was a version done in English and a version
done in Russian that has a different edit and different score, so hours and
hours of really illuminating stuff, and then the other two. It was kind
of spooky in a way that made me feel good because they're very random watches.
I've been going through trying to call some stuff out of the collection to
sell and give away, and I realized that I had two copies of a
film. I had the Twilight Time Edition and the Arrow Edition of Audrey Rose,
and so I decided to compare the transfers. They actually look pretty much
the same to me, but of course the Arrow version has a lot more
extras. And so watch the film because I realized I hadn't seen it before,
and they realized that one of the features was a visual essay by Lee
Gambon. Yeah, a great essay on reincarnation and sema. And you know,
I never had well. And then the other one that I took a
look at was a made for TV western called Wild Women, and guess who
does the commentary track. I had no idea, And so you know,
I never had the pleasure of meeting or working with Lee Gammon. But but
obviously, like everyone, I've been influenced by his work. I've published stuff
on some of the same presses that he's published on, you know, and
and so as a result, been familiar with his catalog, at his work,
and you know, we're about this. He's actually a little bit younger
than I am. So it was a great shock, and it's been somewhat
of a consolation, I suppose to see the wonderful tributes that have been coming
out to him. But anybody who's unfamiliar with Lee Gammon's work, you know,
you should seek out some of the films that he's done, commentaries for
some of his books, essays, real prolific and super smart guy. So
tributes to Lee gambon Tonight. I'll go a step further and say, if
you have never heard anything from him, probably one of the best things that
you can do is put on the bill. Ackerman hosted a supporting Characters podcast
episode with Lee Gambon to find out who he was as a person, what
made him tick, and all of the amazing impact that he chose to have
on people. And one of the biggest things Lee was a lover of horror,
absolutely loved horror through and through. Many of his books are about some
aspect of horror. But also he was one of those people that had to
say, I love horror, but also watch X and things like Godspell is
something that he's been passionate about for years. I mean, he wrote a
book about seventies musicals. It is such a it's a ridiculously prolific career that
he's had in such a short period of time. Because if you go back
and listen to that episode of Sporting Characters, it was only recorded like six
years ago, I think, and at that point he had never done any
special features for any disc Oh. Wow, I didn't know that. So
everything has been done in the last five and a half or so years.
Wow. Yeah, it turns out why Women's actually a pretty erentchaining film,
So I'm not going to sell it. I had a fairly modern week of
watches, at least the ones that I'm allowed to talk about the ones that
I really wanted to highlight. I watched the Last Stop in You mccounty and
uh, if you are a fan of this show, you're a fan of
interviews on this show, I'd highly recommend that you watch that sometime in the
next month, just just saying you may want to watch that to to study
for something coming up. It is an incredible film. It's a modern neo
noir tinged Western feeling movie that is really really great. It's it's really tense.
Stars Richard Brake as somebody that is kidnapping people in a diner. Yeah,
it's it's fantastic. H were you talking to you when you said see
it to everybody? Oh, it's it's already being harold. It is like
one of the best of the year, so decent. D Sittner said,
My Jess Franco was straining the shelf, so I had turned the camera so
you can actually see the Franco shelves. Those continue my friends. Next one,
the wife and I went to a birthday party this last weekend. He
was actually in the chat earlier. Happy Birthday again. Kyle to an escape
room and the baby babysitter happened to be watching the kids for a couple more
hours after we were done with dinner, so we said, hey, you
know what, why don't we just go see a movie. So I went
to see what was gonna line up with our time of leaving the restaurant,
and we caught up with a showing of in a violent nature. This is
the point of view slasher that everybody's talking about that came out, I believe
last Friday. It's a very divisive film, and I can see why.
I know that a lot of people are very excited for something unique in horror,
and I will say for me, it wasn't for me one bit.
Did not like it at all. I have very little redeeming to say about
it other than that one kill, which is what everybody says about this movie.
There is one kill that is going to be going down in horror history
as legendary, and it deserves it. It's it's an incredible kill, very
well done. I get it. I totally get it. The last one
I wanted to point out. I think it was a couple episodes ago,
or like three months ago something like that. We were talking about marketing and
trailers on here. For a split second, I went and sought out Abigail
because I needed something. Let's just say, I've made my wife and my
mom watch a lot of weird movies for the last couple of months, so
I said, let's do something modern that they're both gonna like, and I
chose Abigail, and I was rather impressed. This thing turned out pretty damn
good. I am sort of sad that they chose to have the trailer the
way that they did for this film, but other than that, the movie
was done really really well, acted, incredibly, written, surprisingly decently,
had some great practical effects in it. I thought it was pretty great.
Yeah, I really enjoyed it. You liked it? Abigail was great?
Yeah, well, I thought you're still talking about the that was like four
minutes ago. I am I'm sick, dude. I know I should.
I should say to our audience that I am so nauseous and I may disappear
for a minute, just randomly. So lessed. It's less as bro has
checked out, all I care. I have to care about these movies that
you're talking about. Abigail is the doll righth No, oh, that's Megan.
Abigail is about a young young girl that gets kidnapped and held for ransom
from her parents. Oh, I spoiled it in the trailer. Yes,
I got that, the woman from They Fired from Scream. Yes, yes,
Melissa Brera, Yes, she's great. Did you ever see that show
the name of which I'm forgetting this? She was What the hell is that
called? She was on a show? Yes, somehow I did not know
that. No, it's on the Hulu. It's a show about lesbian latinas.
That's why Will loves it. That is not why it's called Vita Vita.
Yeah, it's great, three three seasons. Wish they'd had for What
did you pick up recently, sir virus. Well we've already gone over the
tear of vision stuff ad nauseum. But I will say I did get you
know, contributor Peck, Yeah, Pop Topolis, Nail Gun, Massacre.
Really loved Lance and Erica's visual essay for Dreamstalker Old Kung Fu Masters. So
those are those are super great. A couple of things I got this month
or the month of May. I got the uh so far I think I
actually gotten all the cinematograph films. So I got able for as Dangerous game.
What is this? Is this a Jay Card. Is that what that
is? It? Ease? I believe it looks like it is gonna mess
up my cover if I try to take it off. I don't think it
will. He tested different adhesives and shows one that will not damage it.
And for a warning, I believe Cinematograph is supposed to have two releases next
month. Great, we'll probably not out of everything. Then. I really
excited about this. I teach this movie a lot. Just another girl on
I r T. You know, I had a long out of print DVD.
I like this thing that Paramount does with the a little fold up cover.
Loves those Paramount presents, So I'm glad you showed one of those from
Keno got Vincent price and twice told tales nice. Pretty stoked about that one.
Everybody watching, please listen to Humboldt Horror honey when they when they come
as one size fits all, I can never buy socks. Speaking of got
gay U s a from Altered Innocence, which is which is a title that
I'm very excited about. Smashed Sexism Sexism Gays Unite Now, by the way,
That disc fully produced by Lee Gambon. Oh You're kidding great? Also
from Agafa picked up Terminal Degeneration, the films of John Mortsuku, which I
was very stoked to check out. And then finally, my last pickup of
the month is one that I've been like coronary stroke conniption excited about since the
moment of its release, and that is Sex and Fury starring Rico Eke Christina
Limberg, directed by the great Norfu Misuzuki. Love this film. I immediately
compared it to my out of print DVD and I can say that this does
look quite good. Wish it had had some extras, but I'm just glad.
I'm glad it's here nice, I'm cur love it well. Speaking of
things that will loved like Sex and Fury, Lena Rome and Sex Apocalypse from
London Macabro, I have not talked about that yet. Got that in want
to highlight love to another up and coming Australian contributor with Welcome Home Roxy Carmichaels.
Is the first time this has ever been on HD anywhere in the world.
This has a new visual essay by Suzanne which is a friend of the
Imprint Imprint cast that I've been on a few times. Can't wait to watch
that and then we're gonna be talking about him tonight, and not enough people
continue to purchase from them, So I really want to highlight fund City Editions
continues to do incredible work and this is one of their newest ones. Seeing
read three French vigilante thrillers, which is supposed to be great. This whole
set is quite heavy. It is three different discs. You've got the disc
prey on the inside and everything, and it does come with a limited booklet,
and the booklet's pretty decent. It's a not full of a ton of
pictures. It's got some good writing. Yeah, this is a great,
great set. That's awesome. John Peters mentioned that I wish they kept the
old commentary for Sex and Fury. That's why I got to hold on to
my long out of print transparent slipcover DVD. See slipcovers have always been a
thing. Yeah, oh yeah, I got that in another long out of
print DVD, the Pinky Violence set. Oh geez, I have seen that

if you're ready for much of anything. What. Uh yeah, I do
have to apologize. I mean, I'm normally pretty close to this, but
I am on a I am on a medication that causes nausea and said mild
sedation. I said we could add somebody else do this because I gotta go
to the doctor tomorrow and they're gonna tell me something's wrong. This is one
of the funniest jokes in a long time. Reggie, thank you for this.
He asked if the interviews with twenty one pilots because I kept asking him,
how did you imagine a dragon? Oh? Man, Oh that was
really good. Hey, well, I re run through which one did the
video with Dolph Lunder? Somebody have no clue. Yeah, they did a
video with Lunger. Oh you know what I've had to say? It was
fun. You know what? I saw the signers d signers face last and
uh not as I pictured the Sinner's handsome. Yeah, speaking of uh queer
coded stories, I uh, I pictured a completely different that's a sad thing.
Well that'll be for the next announcement, I guess July. All right,
Uh all right, oh man, this is off the rails. Uh,
I'm gonna run through some of the wh where we're going. We don't
need rails, hey, after Oh man, this is It's like Marty McFly
but was doing DOC. I was DOC. I got it. This is
hilarious. Ryan says, Will saw my face and said nothing about it.
I did, was that Will with Alzheimer's is sad. All right, I'm
gonna go over the tear Vision announcements if you want to take a break and
go freshen up or something, and feel free to so after the stream.
Last week, Terror Vision had a stream right after we were done, and
they announced Dawning from twenty twenty two is coming to their Gray Face line.
You can pre order this now with a bunch of extras in the incredible packaging
that they've done for their whole Grave Face line. The first title was River.
This is the second. You can get in from the ground floor on
the two of these titles if you want to stay up to date. They're
pretty good. Actually, they're really well done. This is going to be
shipping last week it was three weeks, so I'm assuming two weeks from now.
I think so fourteen twenty yeah, right around two weeks from now.
In fact, all of these Terror Vision titles should be shipping in about two
weeks, so I will just stay with that two weeks from now. Our
next time from Terror Vision is Family Dinner from twenty twenty two. This one's
got a commentary with the filmmakers on here. We got a making of featurette
stills and behind the scenes gallery. New subs on this one. This one
is crazy. This is one that I think people are really gonna like when
you check this out. This is a really well done release. Love that
people are loving the packaging and art on the grave faced ones. I am.
I'm very excited to see Chloe's art on some of the upcoming Graveface titles
because Chloe's gonna do art for all of the grave Face titles, and we're
doing stuff like Big Top Pee, we under Grayface, so it's gonna be
it's gonna be amazing. Next one from Terror Vision was in the Woods.
If you saw the trailer for this one, you probably immediately got excited.
This is man maybe the one that I would say is the most recommended out
of this whole set. If you're looking to just get one, it depends
on if it's your sort of thing. Go to the tear Vision YouTube and
check out the trailers. This trailer is wild. There's an original cut of
this movie. There is a brand new alternate cut of this movie that is
a full minute longer. There's a commentary for each of those, and yeah,
lots of extras on this There's even an In the Woods two teaser trailer
on there. Yeah, I think most people would find something to dig in
this one. Love the art on this release. I hope people are into
that. And then Psycho Sisters. This is a title that people might recognize
because of Saturn's Core releasing Psycho Sisters a little over like a year and a
half ago or something like that. But this is this is different. This
is the nineteen ninety eight Psycho Sisters that was shot on film, unlike the
Saturn's Core one which was shot on video. But the Crazy Thing that release
is also on this disc. Psychosisters has the nineteen ninety four film and the
nineteen ninety eight film. And it's got all kinds of new X, all
kinds of old extras. This disc is overwhelmingly saturated with special features. You
get basically everything. If you want this title or if you got the Saturn's
Core and you like it, this will have the entire package. I don't
think it's missing anything from the Saturn's Core disc. And now we get both
films and new extras. So check this out. That's a lot. It
is a lot. It is a heck of a lot. Welcome back.
Are we remembering better now? No? Okay. Then they announced a new
slipcover for lenea Quigley's horror Workout. The first one sold out way too quickly,
so they wanted people to get another chance at a slipcover for this one.
Jimbo says, watch Gray Faces River last night, excellent film and disk.
Hey we're on that disc. Thanks for checking that out. Then they
also announced a brand new slipcover and a brand new release of Video Violence.
This one had been released under OCEN, but they had not been printing it
anymore because they were not under Ocen anymore. So now you can get Video
Violence again, and now this time in this fancy original art slipcover, which
personally I think is a lot better than the original box for Video Violence.
You also got Video Violence too on the opposite side, and it comes with
a new booklet, so even if you got that original release, you got
a reason to check this out. There's some good writing in this booklet as
well. Cinema, Yeah, you check this one out. Did you like
these I have not gotten through them just yet. Okay, I know a
lot of people love these titles. Yeah. Yeah, that's it for new
stuff from Terror Vision. But also they announced that in June they're having a
promo on shipping. There is free excuse me, free US shipping at ninety
nine dollars, free Canadian shipping at one hundred and forty nine dollars, and
free anywhere else in the world shipping for one ninety nine. You just got
to put in a promo code USA, Canada or ROW for rest of world,
and then you can get free shipping if you're spending that much. They
don't do that very often, and shipping is hell, so if you are
international, load up right now. And if you want even more of an
incentive, they quietly went in and lowered the price of a bunch of titles,
especially ones that came out last year. So if you are missing stuff
or have just never bought stuff because you were waiting for the right time,
this might be that time. I mean, free shipping and lower prices is
a really great deal. I also got that SOOV starter pack. Yeah,
super cheap. You can get ten sov films for like one forty right,
yeah, something like that, or then with slips it's like I'm not sure
something. Yeah, either way, it's an It's a pretty incredible price.
Check him out. Anything else about tear Vision? Hey, you got to
meet Ryan Grayface? Oh yeah, Me and uh me and mister Chudson went
to the Carolina Fearfest in Raleigh, North Carolina, where we got to meet
Ryan Graveface and Chloe in person. Now we talked to him for about three
hours. They were so nice and got to see from Afar Heather langing Camp
and Kelly Maroney. Unfortunately Bill Mosley was there. But some doll mass on
the motorcycle like ran him over, hit and run to brocaus. You know,
that's typical for Raleigh. I'll tell you what, all these out of
town people moving in. But but but it was great you know, Ryan
Chloe could not have been nicer. I was so nervous to meet him,
you know, and but they but Chloe came out and like brought us in
up to their table, and it was so cool to see, you know,
these releases on display, knowing that we had worked on them, and
it was good spending some time with mister Chudson, whose company I enjoyed greatly.
Stan says, he's asking me if I'm I'm jealous of almost every aspect
of your life stance. So every week, every week Stand says something that
somebody goes, what the hell? I know, Well, Stan's had a
life, man, That's what these days, you're gonna have to do a
memoir, you know. I I have already made the promise that Stan is
going to be on my channel for an I'm just counting down the days.
Cool, all right. Next is the next announcement from Imprint TV, which
is Randall and Hopkirk deceased the complete series from nineteen sixty nine. Once again,
Imprint goes above and beyond so much on their TV stuff that all of
their extras would have to take up like eight or nine different Instagram posts,
So I couldn't even list a quarter of them. If you are into this,
this will be the definitive release of this. No matter what it's it's
pretty overwhelming. I've never seen this. Have you ever seen anything from this?
I'm going to assume it's British based on how long those people's faces are.
Yeah, that's that's what they've been doing a lot of their TV stuff.
Yeah, I never heard of it, So somebody will have to educate
me. Cool, get me, Amanda Reis. Let's talk about Yaro video.
August twenty sixth on four K in the UK. They are doing the
Silence of the Lambs and this is going to come with a new commentary by
Elizabeth Purchell, Kada Mark Gardner. We've got the old Tim Lucas commentary on
here, new visual essay on the theme of transformation by Justine Perez Smith,
a new visual essay exploring point of view and personalization by Willow Caitlin maclay.
We've got some archival features on here. And the big question that a lot
of people seem to have is this is fixing the Keno Lrber miscolored first reel
that they did on their four K release. So this will be the definitive
release of this film. Great Roger Corman cameo, it's true, I should
say too. There's a booklet in this with a new writing on the film
by Alexander West, Josh Nelson, Sam Moore, and Alexandra Heller. Nicholas
any thoughts on Silence. We've talked about this before, haven't we. I
don't know. Maybe I've done I've done many of these films. I'm not
a big fan of Sounds of Lambs, but I'm a fan of anything in
the series there. Uh. I saw Man Hunter, it was it was
okay. I saw Hannibal it was horrible with the brain thing. I wonder
if you would like Hannibal Rising. I don't know. There's just something about
it that feels I don't know. It just wasn't a sad I recognized that,
you know, there's a lot of reasons to like the movie, and
that a lot of people like it. So I'm not I'm not casting aspersions.
This is just not for me. I liked them all for some reason,
even Hannibal Rising, which is not, like admittedly objectively not a great
film. It's got weird, like incestuous storylines and weird scars, and yeah
that that that movie is insanity. Then they're also doing this very different site
exclusive slipcover. Look how different it is when I go back and forth.
Look how much changes I can I can hear the lamb of screaming Cardie.
Yes, that's it. Not much, I don't understand. Okay, So
I'm right that the slipcover is none all that interesting. No, I'm I'm
shocked that they're both pretty not great. No, Ryan Manhunter has not been
released on four K, and as far as I'm aware, not even in
print on Blu ray anywhere in the world at the moment. So hopefully we
get something soon because Manhunter deserves a four K and we've he's amazing. Next
up is Heathers, coming in four K in the UK on August fifth,
from Aero. This is the nineteen eighty eight why known a writer a Christian
Slater joint. We've never talked about this one. How do you feel about
Heathers? This seems like a Will movie. Ye. My son is gay
and I love him. I love my dad gay son. Yeah, yeah,
I love this movie. This movie is amazing. The dialogue is great,
the ending is insanity. Yeah. Yeah, pretty much everything about this
movie works for me. It's to me the ultimate high school movie because you
even make that move. This movie today definitely not not with that same ending.
Yeah, maybe considered that. I was just like that stuff. Yeah
yeah, but it's good. You know, it really captured what the nineties
were gonna be. You know, I got to bring up that ending again
and how much that means there. Shit, yeah, I mean it's a
big part of what the nineties were too. Yeah. Unfortunately, Yeah,
I agree with everybody in the chat here that's loving this. Next up is
a side exclusive slip cover for Heathers, which, again like not one I
would run out to get. I don't. I don't really love either of
these slips. I gonna be honest, Well that looks like the old DVD
cover. It's just I believe this is the original poster. Yeah, yeah,
yeah, Yeah, that's okay. I'm not gonna like, yeah,
I'm not gonna go go like you haven't you haven't pre ordered four of these?
No, what edition we have? Is there an aero edition Blu Ray
that I have something? Yes, you have the Blu Ray version of this,
which was sourced from a four K scan already, so the only difference.
Literally is UHD with HGR all the same extras everything else. Well,
excuse me one second, I have to go feel superior. Next up is
a four K steel book of Desperado. This is coming on August twenty sixth
in the UK as a ZAVI exclusive, August twenty seventh in the US and
Canada. This is coming when we've been hearing about stuff like this coming for
about three years. I even, literally the week before this announcement, had
teased this was coming, without knowing that it was about to get announced.
On my Film Foundation show, we were talking about Robert Rodriguez, and I
said, this was teased a long time ago, and I hope it comes
this year. So we're gonna talk about Desperado and the rest of the trilogy
in just a moment. But yeah, this four K steel book is coming
this summer August twenty seventh. On this thirty two page collector's booklet with new
writing by Carlos Aguilar and Nicholas Clement, audio commentary by Robert Rodriguez. That's
the old one. Newly filmed interview with Robert Rodriguez, newly filmed interview with
Bill Borden, a new one, with Steve Davison, New One with Bob
Shelley, one New Appreciation by Gareth Evans from the Raid on this and then
they've got let's see text list opening trailers. I thought there was something else
on here Kill Cam. Nope, that's all for this one. The rest
is in the box set. But I think it's really cool that they're releasing
this one on its own because I know a lot of people do not love
the other two films, because a lot of people think they don't great.
Thanks for saying that, Eric, that was a fun episode to release.
I totally agree there. Ryan el Mariati is my favorite of the trilogy.
Masterpiece of no budget filmmaking. Seven thousand dollars. That's freaking amazing. Then,
like I said, oh, we'll talk about the box at in your
second August twenty sixth, then the UK and August twenty seventh in the US
on Blu Ray from Arrow, and both of these are Arrow Site exclusives.
They are doing a yor Bootgret collection called Momento Mori. They've kind of done
this before because this has Necromantic Necromantic two and then the other two films that
are there, Todesking and whatever the fourth one is as well, but we're
gonna talk about what's different because this one has five discs rather than four.
A fifth disc it does. Yes, this is what's so. Like I
said, we got Necromantic dere todes king in this neck Romantic two, and
then scram that's the fourth one, and all of these have all the same
features and short films that we had previously. And then Disc five a bonus
disc. You got an extended cut of Necromantic two. You got premier footage
from Neckromantic two. You've got Monica M's screen test footage from Neckromantic two,
a short film from twenty twenty from Bootgrite documenting a decomposition study. Then you've
got Captain Berlin Versus Hitler from two thousand and nine, filmed version of the
stage play, written and co directed by Bootgright, with optional audio commentary by
the composer Mark Reader. You've got a nine minute short from nineteen eighty six.
You've got a live concert from nineteen eighty one, short satirical concert film.
There's kind of a lot in this, and if you own or already
have, you know one or two of them. I could even see wanting
this if you love them. Yeah, so if you have the Love and
Death set that aer Uk put out, the only thing you're missing is this
disc five bonus disc. Oh you just said that, and then this giant
book. I'm not sure if all of that is the same. Giant and
you'll see it is built in what looks like a Shoscope type of package.
It is not shell friendly. Yeah, yeah, yeah, Okay, And
now that I brought it up, I should say Ero is announcing Shoscope Volume
three tomorrow morning, so be prepared for that. You'll be able to pre
order. It will be releasing in November. All of the titles have leaked,
but we will be discussing that next Thursday, not this week. Just
wanted to give everybody a heads up for that if you want to pre order
in the morning. And keep in mind, when I interviewed James from Aero
Video, he did say this one would be much more limited first than the
first and second volumes because those hung around for a lot longer than they wanted
them to. Yeah, but the men say went on sale to prices that
I could afford. Unfortunately, there's a tension between YEP, the modern collector
and the label. You see indeed, Lucky McKee, who is the director
of the Woman, is having his film come out on four K from Aero
Video. What's crazy is the first time this came out from Aero they did
not have the rights to do Offspring in the US, and now they are
doing The Woman and Offspring both in four K in the US and Canada and
the UK August twenty sixth in the UK August twenty seventh, and the other
two locations. All the same extras as previously just in UHD. Now,
so the Woman is a sequel of sorts to Offspring, Yes, and then
there's also a third film. Actually, but McKee did not direct Offspring,
right, Nope, he did not. He only came in and directed The
Woman, which by every account is the best one in the trilogy. Unless
soft Spring is your favorite movie, yes, which someone must feel. I
would imagine that it probably is someone's favorite movie. Yeah, so everyone doesn't
agree, Oh will uh? I know one thing we can agree. I
knew that you were going to make that joke. Nobody gives a shit about
this announcement on this one. Yeah, coming on August fourteenth in the UK,
August thirteenth in the US, and Canada on four K is Clash of
the Titans and Raths of the Titans. Unfortunately it's the ones from twenty ten
to two thousan twelve. Right, what's going on with the was it nineteen
eighty four Harry Hamlin version. I don't think we're getting anything. I just
I got rid of my Snapcase DVD a little while ago for some crappy little
Blu ray release that barely looks better than the Snapcase DVD. But surely somebody's
like trying to get that right, maybe, Craig. I tell you,
I'm glad you feel that way. Sir Dustin is asking, are you saying
the previous era Blue didn't have offspring? If you bought the US version,
it did not. If you bought the UK or Canada version, it did,
And many people around that time went and imported that one. Yeah.
What is there to say about about this box set except that I hope it
sells well to subsidize something better. Yeah. I don't know what else say
extras on this. I guess we can we can talk about it. Let's
see, we've got double sided fold out posters for each film. We've got
a new interview with the producer Basil Ivonic. We've got a featurete called Sam
Worthington as Perseus Zeu's Father of Gods and Men. We've got archival stuff for
the second film as well. That's it. Nothing else new except for that
one fully packed that disk. Okay, Perseus Zeus sooka, that's enough.
Uh. The Mexico trilogy. This is what I was just talking about.
So in this box set, Desperado is the only one that's in four K.
The other two films are in blu ray. There's some reasons Once upon
a Time in Mexico was one of those early shot on digital films. It
would look like absolute trash on four K. It should not ever be on
four K. It would look real, real bad. But this does look
like a pretty fun release if you are a fan of Rodriguez or any of
these films. We've got an illustrated collector's booklet with new writing by Carlos Aguilar
Nicholas Clement. That's the same booklet that's gonna be in Desperado most likely.
I would imagine it would kind of seem odd if they were printing multiple copies
of different types of books for the same set. Then We've got a new
interview with Rodriguez on El Mariachi, new interview with Carlos Guyarra though on El
Mariachi, a new featurette on the music of El Mariachi, and then some
archival stuff including BedHead short from ninety one by Rodriguez on Desperado already named everything,
and then Once upon a Time in Mexico we get the commentary, new
interview with Rodriguez on that trouble making, a new interview with the visual effects
editor, and then plus a bunch of archival featurettes, including the cooking video
that Rodriguez did on one of these films. On one of the old releases,
OH bandmate used to do an impression of Tom Waite's singing the Eagles song
Desperado, and it was one of the funniest things I've ever heard. It
would go, I can't really do it, but he would go, like
dear's briadya. That was great. I wish you could hear it. I
don't know, I think I might. I hope he's still living. We
hadn't talked in twenty years, but he did a great impression of Tom White
singing Eagles songs. BedHead is a fun short. It starts his younger siblings
says Ryan, Yeah, are you Are you a Rodriguez fan at all?
Have you liked much from him? Nope? You know what, though,
and this will probably surprise people. You know what I really like from dust
Still Dawn. I think that shit's great. But no, I can't think
of any Rodriguez film that I've liked outside of that. You don't like the
faculty? That was all right? I guess. I watched it again recently
to like decide if I liked it, and I was still left kind of
It was okay, all right, all right, I like the faculty.
I do not It's nowhere near as much as I like from Dustile Don Chris,
It says, Will sounds fine now that singing was amazing. What it
was funny is I was the vocalist of our band. Boh, We're terrible.
No, we weren't. We were okay, all right, we're calling
all right, We're called Arbus after the photographer of Diane Arbis. Hey,
I'm gonna go. The next title UH Film Treasures in the UK is releasing
Dawn of the Mummy from nineteen eighty one on Blu ray. This is coming
in August, and uh, this is one that people have wanted for a
long time. The original negative was thought to be long lost, and it
is. There was, however, a surviving thirty five millimeter German and Spanish
set of prints that were located, and they had some damage, but a
composite was made from them and that allowed them to get the complete film,
including all of the gore that wasn't seen on one of the previous releases,
to be scanned in two K, cleaned up, restored as much as possible.
I don't know if the audience has noticed this, but Brian just froze.
I think that's just you, my friend. But I didn't freeze.
I was still moving. Neither did I. No, but I didn't freeze
on camera. Neither did I. You totally did do him? Leave it
to the chat. Dallas is asking is this coming in the US. We
have no information on that, but you can get this from orbit. They
will be selling. I'm sure Diabolical'll have it as well. Yeah, have
you seen this one. I've not had a chance to see this because this
was hard to find. This is gonna have a whole bunch of new extras.
We had a new commentary with Kim Newman and Barry Forshaw. On this,
we get an archival commentary with Franka grama new video essay on Franka Grama
by a Eugenio Arkillani, friend of the Channel, critical appraisal of the film
by Stephen Thrower. Darryl Buxton speaks on the Mummy films, and then there's
an interview with Sergio Rubini on this. Erkulani worked quite a lot on this
release, and it's supposed to go great. Will you are allowed to go
to bed if you need to? Why is everybody? Because they can tell
you're uncomfortable. I don't feel good, but you know, the people expect
first of first Thursday of the month. They don't expect you to come in
here and not do well though and be okay, oh wow, So I'm
also not entertaining. Is that what you're saying? Not doo? Okay?
Physically No. Subner just texted to say he could jump on if you need
to leave. Okay, little show girl's moment. You think I don't know
what you're doing, know me? Oh man, that's really funny. U
Jimbo says, Ryan did not freeze, so thank you Jimbo's the only one
who says so. Uh. Then Keno announced Gung Ho coming on Blu Ray
eventually. This is the Michael Keaton film from nineteen eighty six. This is
one that's directed by Ron Howard and a lot of people thought would never come
to Blu Ray. Have you seen this one, sir? Is that the
Union movie? This is maybe? I've not seen this one. I think
I saw it on TV one time, but I can't recall. Everybody's lined
up against ban now, all right, moving right along, Hey, def
crocodile, who's in the chat? Right now? Their subscription is available on
Diabolic DVD for the entire month of June. You can go now if you
want, you can open up in a new tab and go pay for a
subscription now. You can do July through December. That's right. It starts
in July. So if you want their first Diabolic exclusive title, which is
the King of Stack. I believe it's what it's called. That's not the
right title. I apologize, Craig. What's the whole title? Because I
got this wrong last time too. It is Romero. Yeah, that Romero
is the new name of the crocodile. It's Simnar thought, I said,
the Deaf Pocket Dial, the Savage Hunt of King Stack. That's what it
is. I always forget. There's two more words in there. If you
want that, that comes out in June, not July, so it's not
a part of the subscription. You can go order that now. Six months
subscription from July through December is two hundred and thirty bucks, and that includes
free shipping for all of those months. And then if you get the twelve
month subscription, it is five hundred dollars for the full year, and that
includes all of the months. A lot of people have been asking why the
full year is not just a six month subscription doubled. The second half is
going to have potentially a box set, more four K releases, and just
overall more expensive titles. And if you go and get another six month subscription
in December, for the following six months, it will be much more than
two hundred and thirty dollars. So don't think that you're getting away with something
unfortunately, or have something to complain about. It's just they're planning bigger releases.
Yes, the Deluxe Edition is exclusive to the Deaf Crocodile Site and Diabolic.
You can get a standard everywhere else this subscription. If you get it,
it's gonna have guaranteed copy of the next six or twelve deluxe slipcase releases.
And when we're saying slipcase, we're not just saying slip cover like when
they were under OCN. They are going to be a hard box release with
like an eighty page book for every single title, so it is huge.
It's more akin to something like a second site release with the hard box and
a book like they always do. You're gonna get your warshipments early. If
you subscribe, you're gonna get a subscriber exclusive coin for Deaf Crocodile. You
know they should offer another tier. Given the giant size boxes. They're all
coming in. A third tier that includes an IKEA shelving unit symbol upon arrival,
a Deaf Crocodile branded shelving unit. Oh hey, there you go.
That's something to think about. Actually, I think places like Diabolic and Orbit
should consider selling branded revolving towers or something. Jesus the shipping prices alone.
Craig is correcting some of my data here, I'm sorry. Sixty page book
at least more pages for other titles. Maybe the boxes aren't as big as
the second site ones, but they're that type of release, correct Sandro there.
If there are more than twelve releases, the other releases won't be free,
but you'll get a coupon code to get them discounted. The deluxe edition
start this month in June with the Savage Hunt of Kingstack, anything else that
I need to go on the All of the shipments will include a random movie
trading card, and then you're gonna get what do we have planned for the
next twelve months? Films ranging from nineteen twenty six to twenty twenty three.
A box set including the entirety of a young filmmaker's filmography, Folkhore, animation,
fantasy, crime, mystery, silent films, and more beautifully strange discoveries,
films from Belarus, Czech Republic, France, Germany, India, Ireland,
Japan, Romania, Russia, of the US and more. And then
they've already announced that Feladay is going to be their first four K release.
They say that they guarantee one film per month, but they may release more
and in those cases you will get an exclusive subscriber discount coupon code. FeelA
day, the Ultimate Cat Movie. Very very excited. Again, I got
more wrong. I guess June is Ruslan and Ludmilla and the Savage undup King
Stack will be early July, but it's not included. I don't know.
I'm sorry, Craig, I butched that all right, that's def Crocodile.
And now Craig's gonna stab me when I meet him in person. Just sick.
Craig's taking over. I'm gonna hand over reconnected. Oh, the subs
begin with King Stack in July. There we go, not ruce Line and
Ludmila. I'm sorry, I just told everybody wrong. Wrong title, wrong
title. Yes, Robert the Gator did get a name, and it is
Romero. And Romero is now in charge of the Deaf Crocodile Instagram, so
watch out for that. Craig posted that announcement yesterday. Let's get into some
OCIM announcements. Are we ready for that? Okay? First off, we've
got Enjoy the Ride Records ETR Media doing the Arrested Development documentary project. This
is from twenty ten and it's a love letter and the definitive documentary to one
of the most beloved and well written shows of all time arrested development. Wow,
first couple of seasons. They for the extras on this they have film
trailers, film trailers. Yep Ross posted on Facebook that he tried to get
more and the director was uncooperative, So that's not great. That's the last
thing you want to hear if you're doing a documentary on somebody's show. Well
beyond that, if you signed them over to do the documentary, why would
you not cooperate on extras? I don't get it. Next up is Connie
putting out Beijing Watermelon, and man, did this thing sell quickly as well?
Says Shunzo and his wife Michi run a beloved greengrocer on the outskirts of
Tokyo. When Lee, a struggling exchange student from China, visits the shop
but is unable to afford the produce, an uneasy relationship sprouts the pun there,
but grudgingly Shunzo agrees to lower his prices. Soon leads classmates to begin
frequenting the shop. As Shunzo's generosity sneaks up on him and strains his family's
welfare, he confronts his role as surrogate father to his newfound Chinese friends.
This is a Nobuhiko Obyashi film from nineteen eighty nine. Yeah, and that
means I absolutely had to get it. It's on the Criterion Channel right now
for anybody that might want to check it out, along with several other of
his films. So, yeah, this is going to have an interview with
Chigumi ob Yashi, a theatrical trailer and teaser, a book with new writing
by Aaron Garrow, new arts, and a logo designed by Leo Mack.
And that is it underrated, Obyashi, says Brendan, all Right. Next
as Bottom Feeders, This is coming from Dark Star Pictures. This one looks
pretty dang interesting. There's the front of the slip and the back of the
waffle slip on this. We got an audition tape, featurette, trailer,
behind the scenes, photo gallery, four short films from the director. Sounds
like a decent package, correct, Stan Obyashi is the director of How Sue?
That's why I yelled house? All right? That's Dark Star. Next
up is a massive release Saturn's Core putting out David the rock Nelson Collection,
Volume number one. This covers from nineteen ninety three to nineteen ninety four,
and there's the back of the Slip for Everybody. In nineteen four, the
same year that Tim Burton unleashed the Academy Award winning Edwood biopic, Underground,
film maker David rock Nelson travel to Baltimore to direct one of Wood's chief collaborators,
Conrad Brooks, in a backyard epic for the Ages. When the local
graveyards mild mannered caretaker transforms into a werewolf in broad daylight, it's up to
Conrad and his real life Jerryatric brothers Henry and Ted Brooks to vanquish the beast
using plastic oozies, fisticuffs, and a Hundi excel. The Saturn's Core is
proud to present its first of several David the rock Nelson collections, highlighting the
nineties fanzine staple Conrad Brooks Versus Werewolf, accompanied by Son of Werewolf and Adventures
of Janet, two additional shorts handpicked by The Rock, A twenty eight page
booklet with the release and four hours of rock related special features. There is
so much in this. This looks crazy. The only rock I recognize The
booklet in this says. Twenty eight page mini issue compiled by Strange Tapes editor
Scott Miller, with writing by authors Josiemba, Vincent Albarano, Richard magg and
Taylor Hyder. Many of those names you should recognize. And then they also
got Fred Ollen Ray in there and WGN TV news anchor Larry Patash. Can
you see what the Rock is filming? Yes, Brad says he has three
hundred films. Wow, good god, Well first volume one? All right,
Saturn's Core gonna be releasing one of these for the next four years every
single month, probably not. Next one is from music Box Films, who
has been pretty quiet through OCN recently. But we finally got a state side
release of the doc NEEO from twenty twenty one. This looks like a pretty
great release. Unfortunately I had already imported the UK release. Yeah, this
is a region A locked an interview with the director on this one. We
get a behind the scenes Andyo's office concert. We got some deleted scenes and
a trailer and of course English subs. But man, this documentary. If
if you are a Morricone fan, this is going to be one that you
should absolutely get. Yeah, anyos is great, this is a great doc.
Looking forward to this one. I picked this up simonar said, the
slip sold fast? Is this one sold out too? This month has been
crazy, Like seven or eight of the partner label titles sold out their slip
covers in like a day and a half and one of them sold out in
four hours. Geez, Yeah, this one is sold out for the slip.
Crazy. Next one is feed Me from X y Z Films, directed
by Adam Leader and Richard Oakes. There is the back of the slipcover.
This one has two commentary tracks, one with the writer and co director Adam
Leader and Neil Ward, and then the second with the co director Richard Oaks,
producer Ed Pulgarti, and the composer Benjamin Simons. Three reels from twenty
twenty two is Beyond fest feed Me in La Featurette, a music video,
Neil Ward is Naked featurette and then liner notes from Jacob Q. Knight and
I have not seen much about this one. No, this is a new
one. I like the art on this though. Yeah, it's compellingly grotesque.
Yeah even the back. Yeah. Next one film Movement putting out Kamikazi
eighty nine from eighty two. This is Fosspender in his final acting role.
This is going to have a new four K restoration The Rainer Werner Fassbender,
The Last Year documentary by Wolf grem commentary by Regina Ziegler, John Cassavetti's Kamakazi
eighty nine TV spots, and then new essays by Nick Pinkerton and Samuel D.
Prime. Yeah, this was a pickup for me. I kind of
figured super cool. Then Mister Lonely from the One and Only Harmony Krinn from
two thousand and seven got a release through IFC Films, which is really cool.
This is one I believe that also sold out very very quickly. This
says, only Harmony Krin could weave Michael Jackson, Marilyn Monroe, her daughter
Shirley Temple, and Flying Nuns into a hypnotically funny and truly poignant tale of
the instability behind fanaticism and the redemption we can hope to find in one another.
The film follows a lonely Michael Jackson impersonator who is invited by beautiful Marilyn
Monroe to a commune in the Scottish Highlands full of other impersonators, including the
Queen of England, Madonna, Sammy Davis Junior, James Dean. In a
parallel storyline. The incomparable Werner Herzog plays a Latin American priest who learns his
missionary of nuns can literally fly. I feel that if I am to find
redemption through another, it may well be through you. Ryan. Can you
say that one more time? I feel that if I am to find redemption
through another, it may well be through you. I'm trying to process if
that's a compliment or an insult. I don't know. And this is why
we work well together. If you were to be a celebrity impersonator, what
celebrity would you impersonate? Looking at my physique? I don't know. Bert
Kreischer, Uh, what about you? Uh? Oh my physique? Mm
hmmm. I think if I uh, I think, I think I could
probably do. I could probably do Liam Neeson like desperately shouting into a phone,
but I was gonna kill somebody or no, I'd be like in an
ice truck or on a plane. Liam Neeson one of the lesser Nissan vehicles.
This one is gonna have an audio commentary by a new visual on this
by Sam Dean in a booklet with new writing by Kyle Turner. Forty minutes
of deleted scenes and a making of featurette. Yeah. I don't think we've
talked about Harmony Crin much either, do you Do you appreciate anything from Harmony
Krinn? I feel like that's not a will filmmaker. You know. I
liked spring Breakers and I didn't expect to and interesting. Several other of those
films I haven't actually seen yet. I had kind of a complicated relationship with
kids when it first came out, which was in my late teens, So
I think I'll need to kind of Dorine again, Corin again, Corin again.
Stan. I do have a feeling we're gonna get Ago Drift on Physical
eventually. What is that? It's his brand new film that premiered in a
strip club earlier this year. People keep bringing that movie up and I forget
what it is, and I'm like, oh, the strip club movie.
Yes, I agree. We do need Gummo and Blu Ray please Warner Archive.
Gummo is the one that Vernon Hertzog is in that as well, right,
I think so? Yeah, it's someone from the mid nineties, so
he was probably a little more apt to do it then. I like Vernon
Hertzog. Let's go to our next title. Which is film desk putting out
the plot against Harry Michael Romer, you're excited about this or anything you want
to say, never seen before, you know, read about it. It's
one of those kind of hard to find critical cult movies, you know,
like it's always had such praise, but I've never seen before, so I'm
looking forward to it. Julian donkey Boy, that was I was thinking of
Dallas's harmony. Krin is non horror. Rob Zomby, Well that's not to
me. That's not good. Is that good for it? As a complimentary
ansel, everybody's say a Julian donkey Boy. Let's see. Yes it is
Warner Brothers. So yeah, the plot against Harry. This is from nineteen
seventy, directed by Michael Romare. We've got Q and A moderated by A.
Zizzel Jacobs in twenty twenty three. Michaelramare and Robert M. Young in
conversation from two thousand and five audio interview with Nicholas Sciata from nineteen ninety new
trailer, thirty two page booklet with photographs and writing. Yeah, see,
look at all those fancy critics they got for writing Yorker Village Voice premiere.
That's what I was talking about. Yeah, yeah, all right, Going
to the next one. Memory is putting out Rat Film from twenty sixteen.
This says, across walls, fences and alleys, rats not only expose our
boundaries of separation, but make homes in them. Rat Film is a feature
length documentary that uses the rat as well as the humans that love them,
live with them, and kill them, to explore the history of Baltimore,
Maryland. I'm a rat problem in Baltimore. It's always been a people problem.
Yeah, who says that. The rat king, Yeah, sees a
bunch of rat says like, you know what the problem is people? Who's
going in there? You know what? We need to do this from the
brats perspective. See, this is when the wo agenda goes too far from
me. You know what, and you know, you know who's fought this,
says Pixar. Pixar raised an entire generation of kids to think it was
okay to have rats near their food. Oh man, there's a straight line
from ratitui to this documentary. Firmly against it. Craig says, it's a
pretty good documentary. Well, I love the documentary, but this this rat
centric attitude. This this rat first. This is gonna have a trailer,
deleted scenes, bonus content, and a Q and A with a director and
composer. You know what I like. It's a secret in them. This
is a good it's a good movie. Yeah. No, I'm definitely gonna
see this documentary. I'm intrigued. Canadian International is releasing Roadkill from nineteen eighty
nine. This says at loose ends with life in Toronto. Ramona is abruptly
dispatched the wilds of northern Ontario by her mercenary record promoter Boss to retrieve the
Children of Paradise, a wayward rock band that has disappeared mid tour. There's
only one problem. She doesn't know how to drive. Armed with only a
walkman and the clothes on her back, she embarks on a journey that quickly
introduces her to a cavalcade of oddball characters, including a cab driver with ties
to Elvis, a film director in search of a muse, a singer who's
lost his voice, and an aspiring serial killer determined to make it big.
With the help of his motley crue, Ramona hopes to push beyond her limits
and mount a rock and roll show for the ages. This is one of
the defining films of the Toronto New Wave and you've got a lot of people
in this, including the Ramones, Cowboy Junkies, Nash the Slash, Children
of Paradise, more, a new commentary with Paul Krupocnne, Exploitation dot Com
and Jason Pachonski. There's an archival commentary on this rebel cinema, a new
interview with McKellar on this, new interview with Valerie Bougeiser, a new interview
with Brunton. There is a new interview with the cinematographer, a career spanning
interview with Bruce McDonald from twenty eighteen, and then a making of doc from
two thousand and six with the booklet with a new interview with former TIFF senior
programmer Steve Gravestock. This feels like a Will movie. I Love Pontypool by
Bruce McDonald. I really hope Canadian Internationals got that soon. But I gotta
tell you a lot of people all know this, but Joey Ramoneses time in
Canada was pivotal for the development of the Ramones. Until Joey went to Canada,
the song just went, oh, oh, let's go, that's funny.
I thought so, I'm sure I eno to lose water out of my
nose. Dallas says, no, imagine dragons pass. Just did the audience
get that? Probably not. They added the a let's go, I love
how much you make yourself laugh? The slip on this one is gone.
Standard edition is still in stock, but that will be in print for quite
some time. Looks like a fun release. The hottest release of this weekend,
though, was The Sadness on four K from Shudder, the new partner
label from last month or the month before. This is one that has been
on four K previously in Germany, but this is the first HD release of
this in the States, and this is a great movie. There's a brand
new feature audio commentary with the director on this and the composers. There's archival
commentary on this as well, and then another feature audio commentary that's brand new
with Simon Abrams. We've got four previously released featurettes, a new featurette called
The Production, new visual essay by Sam Deagan, two exclusive short films to
this, and then a booklet with new writing by Brandon Strusing, as well
as exclusive storyboards and a Gore guide. Not only did the slip and box
sell out on this, but then the standards sold out, and just today
they restocked with more than a thousand in stock and it's still selling very very
well. Wow. Yeah, I want to say I think I'm gonna stream
it first, just to did you ever see this one? You haven't seen
it yet, not yet, not yet. So this movie is pretty damn
great. This is, for some reason, like one of the more one
of the more sadistic films that I've actually walked away going. I think I
enjoyed that. I don't know why. It's just it feels differently than some
of the others. It's good. I hope people check it out. Ryan
from the New World Pictures podcast that I just had the Rock and Roll High
School director on a Roger Corman tribute episode. I have another interview coming soon
all about Rock and Roll High School, and of course, of course that's
Alan R. Kush Man. That that video that I watched from Ryan is
great. I really hope people are checking out the New World Picture podcast,
especially right after Corman's passing. Next up from OCN is another one from Film
Movement called Shanghai Triad again, I believe this disc was released by them previously,
and this is just hey, here's a slipcover release. It was yeah,
okay, so this one, it's the exact same disc. And then
we got a booklet with a new essay by film critic and lecturer John Barra.
There's a Trouble in Shanghai visual essay by Grady Hendrix on that disc as
well. Some things I do recall, and I do recall that I have
their earlier release of Shanghai Triad. This is a big one because it's a
jangamao and the Imprint box set Collaborations had this in that box set as well.
So just more eyes on good cinema that's been hard to find. Yeah.
Next up six in Paris from Icarus Films, which is the brand new
partner label to OCN this month. This is from nineteen sixty five. Any
thoughts on this will Oh yeah, I mean I'm less familiar with the less
familiar directors, but obviously she Browl and Guitard and Romer megot worth our while
I honestly don't know the other three directors, so I have to check their
workout. But yeah, this was the other title that I ordered on the
the day of the drop. I ordered three titles. We got nineteen sixty
five interviews with Barbie Schroeder, Jean Rouche and Eric Kramier, originally aired on
Swiss TV. Yeah, it should look good. I like slop cover on
this too. M looks very French sixties. Yeah. Next up is Supermarket
coming on four K. This is coming from Subculture in Germany. This is
the Ocean Partner label that has released one film in three years, like one
film every year for three years that they've put out. This is now their
third title, and this is supposed to be another good one. Yep,
that's their second title. What was their first one? The first one was
the Western. It's like a German Western. Yeah, I missed that one.
I went out of print so fast. If you're wanting that, let
me know. I've got the German release of that, I can let you.
Yeah. Probably last thing I need is another disc in this house deadlock.
That's the title, Thank you, but yeah, we'll talk about it.
This one is strictly limited. There will not be a standard edition of
this disc pressed, So if you want this one, get it before it
sells out. And as far as I'm aware this one has not sold out
yet. I will check real quick again to make sure that I'm not wrong,
just like I was about all of the Craig stuff. No, there's
still a thousand of this one left. This one has a great reputation,
critical reputation, but I've never seen it, so I wish to this one
says in order to survive on the rough streets of Hamburg, eighteen year old
Willie gets Sorry gets by with small time racketeering. After an arrest, the
authorities decide to send him to a reformatory, but he escapes from police custody
and falls into the clutches of a pimp, who sends him to the gay
sex trait. At the same time, Willy meets a journalist who draws him
into hopeless resocialization projects, primarily to improve his own life. When Willy falls
in love with the girl, who seems to be even worse off than he
is, he sets his mind on freeing her from her dreariness and running away
with her. But the accumulated problems are so great that this past catches up
with him in a dramatic way. This one, we'll have an audio commentary
by Roland Click some archival interviews, a couple of new interviews, and then
a reversible sleeve. Of course, Sweet looks great. The Sweet East is
coming this month from Utopia. This is when they've been sort of teasing at
for a while. It also came out with a comic zine that was limited
to one hundred and that sold out fairly quickly. Of course, here's the
back of the slip. This is directed by Sean Price. Williams has Simon
Rex and ao A Debris in this, a couple names that have gotten pretty
big over the last couple of years. Also has Annie Lanakis, a name
that hasn't been big in many years. There's only one big name in that
movie, and that's Gibbie Haynes. I was about to say that, but
I'll be curious. You know Nick Cave's young boy is then that's I'll be
interested in seeing how he does. This looks a little precious for me,
not normally the kind of thing that I would do, But I'm a Gibbie
Haynes's completest. And it is streaming on Hulu right now if you want to
check it out. I did expert to my cue. Thanks for that,
Ronnie. I always appreciate that. To the Moon is this one's title from
a Yellow Veil Pictures and man, is this slipcover a pretty interesting design?
Hold on, I'm looking up. Who Jacob the Lord he is? Oh?
Yeah, yeah, I like him? You know he looks like the
kind of guy that cheat of you, cheat on your heartbeat though it is
he gets enough attention. Yeah, he's got that. It looks like a
sexy version of that guy from Parks and rec what's his name? Ben?
Oh? I don't can't even Adam Scott? Right? Yeah? Yeah,
party down guy, yep, yeah, what's up? Zepam? To the
Moon. To the Moon is from twenty twenty one and says a weekend of
healing for Dennis and Mia becomes a hallucinatory nightmare when Dennis's a strange brother arrives
and begins to distort their sense of reality. It's gonna have an introduction by
the director, commentary by the director and actor Will Brill, behind the scenes
featurette with interviews of the cast and crew, an essay by Alexandra Heller Nicholas,
and a new poster art. Boy, I'll tell you one thing.
If I'm on a healing trip and my estranged. Anybody shows up, it's
over. Uh. Sumner says, this sounds like what happens when Jeremy comes
to this. I agree Craig with that title. That should be uh,
that should be trademarked. Craig's Craig's comment, that's great. Oh man,
everybody's making Jacob Lordie jokes. Now. Uh. The next title is from
the Canalog and they're putting out Tramps. From twenty twenty two. There was
an exclusive come on scroll over seven inch bundle that sold out very quickly,
with this limited to only sixty Wow and this says we were the product.
They were loud, they were dangerous, they were fabulous. Called blitz kids
and peacock punks by a confused tabloid press, a new class of proudly out
and ultra youths changed the face of London in the nineteen seventies and nineteen eighties.
Based with a repressive, traditional and colorless UK, a group of misfits
refashioned society and a more beautiful and strange image. For mcclaim. Documentarian Kevin
Haig comes Tramps, the story of the kids that would come to be called
the New Romantics, who used music art fashion and film to create a revolutionary
New London scene. With testimony from legendary personalities like Judy Blame, Princess Julia,
Andrew Logan, John Maybury, and Michael Costiff, among others, Tramps
pieces together a history of the people responsible for turning London from a post war
ruin into a teeming site of creativity, love and rebellion through style. That's
fantastic. Yeah, I definitely want to see this. Love me some boy,
George. This has an audio commentary the Director, moderated by Jay Chiel,
extended interview with Andrew Cchiskowski and Zue Carrington of The Roxy, extended interviews
with Judy Blame. Under the influence an eight millimeter film directed by John Scarlett
Davis featuring an all new music score by Cat Duma, and then an archival
photo gallery. And yeah, this one sounds pretty great. Yeah, I
see, I agree with staying geezy this the lorded kid looks like a scrawny
kind of went yeah, like I'm not Yeah, I hear you want to
fight him or something? What now? Yeah, that's the thing I don't
want on some like milk toast. Well, so don't think he missing a
lip Oh man, hey, I'm gonna go to the next one. That's
a thin lip. You know, they don't fill in. They get they
they were, they were tracked. As you get older, you gotta think
about that. That's a thin lip right there. Oh boy, it's great.
That's the kind of thing I can definitely get excited about. Dallas is
linky to be seated equals hot. I did also apply to gen X models,
but uh, similar to Simpler, says, he's for people who think
Timothy Shallow may need to eat a sandway. Wow, Well, which one
is he? Is? He the He's the one from Wonka and uh has
called you by your name and everything say the more. Uh, I'm glad
that Wonka was enough. Wonka was enough. We didn't need another Wonka.
Still we got two Wonka's. You know what's crazy? Three walks. Not
to go off on a wild tangent, but the original Willy Wonka was made
like super low budget and it was not a great adaptation of the doll story.
It wasn't. And then the Burton one came and it got like this
giant budget and was a pretty favorable adaptation. And people hated that one and
loved the original Yeah, that's it. Just yeah, yeah, I think
the gene Wilder version actually dialed down how off putting and creepy roll doll books
actually are right and made them seem palatable. In fact, they're quite unpleasant
and mean. They really are, which is why it's the Burton One's a
closer adaptation. Yeah, closer doesn't necessarily appeal. I'm not saying better,
and I'm not saying like it should be anything. It's just interesting that that
that didn't get more love and the original got all the love when in a
lot of these adapts tation cases, people hate the ones that are further away
from the original. Just an interesting thing to point out. I always think
the most completely different mediums, you know, like Cronenberg's adaptation of Naked Lunch,
that was perfect. You know, you're not adapting the literal words.
You're adapting the feel and the and the and you're you're telling a whole new
story in a whole new way. So hard to argue with that. Tramps
very creative time. Love Derek Jarmond all Right, Circle Collective is putting out
with Love and a major organ from twenty twenty two. This is a pretty
good looking slip cover. I like this. This says in a world where
everyone's heart is an object and there's a strong societal pressure to dampen emotion,
lonely virtual insurance broker Annabelle always follows her heart at odds with this overly pragmatic
society, and after a series of devastating emotional blows, she rips her heart
from her chest and gives it to a man she's fallen for, the strangely
unfeeling George. Unburdened by her unique yet cumbersome heart, annabel finds life easier.
George, on the other hand, begins to feel everything, to the
shock of his overbearing mother Mona. Annabel soon realizes she needs to get her
heart back if she's going to survive. Soon. She realizes that soon.
Yeah, it's a different world. Will that a good shot? I don't
understand what you just read. It's an abstract piece. This is gonna have
a bipop credits podcast with Andy Wong. Interview with the director Kim Albright,
actor Donna Benedicto. There's an interview with Kim Albright and Anna McGuire. One
of my stories at the Fantasia Film Festival with Lindsay Dunn, a conversation with
Kim Albright, Anna McGuire, a fest track on circ TV with Tim Wassberg,
some more interviews at Fantasia Film Festivals, Parts one and two. Mike
Lo O'Keefe, who is a fan friend of the channel, been on his
channel a couple of times. He did his Mystic and Severe with the director
Kim Albright. You can check that out on this disc. Ai FF podcast
series with Rhys Waters, interview with the writer Julia Ederer and the director Kim
Albright, and Mandelin Davis and Anna McGuire, and then just lots that.
We've got more commentaries, red carpet interviews, a blooper reel. There's kind
of a lot on this disc. This looks like a pretty good release.
I'll tell you what it springs to mind. Two things. One the episode
of One Tree Hill where the estranged dad is getting a heart transplant and they're
bringing the heart in a cooler and they guy trips and the heart flies out
of the cooler and then a dog eats it. And that was one of
the greatest moments in One Tree Hill history. Great moment out of many great
moments. I love that show. But the other thing, and this is
a total turn. You know, this looks interesting and I'm going to see
it, but I don't like it when artists in any medium tell me that
we need love. I know that we all know that that's not the problem.
Do we all know that? Because there are some people that I feel
like don't. Everybody knows that we need love, and those who say we
don't are just trying to deal with the fact that they don't have it.
But the problem is getting it, you know what I mean? Yeah,
I need a movie that tells me how to get love. You know,
like, what do you do when you're socially repulsive? What happens to those
people? Nobody's going to rip her heart out first for that person, but
that person needs love? Where's that movie? Where's the compassion for the repulsive,
obnoxious and off putting people who also need love? Do you need a
hug, sir? I'm fine, I got all kinds of it, oh
man? All right? Moving right along. Then, on the Vinegar Scendroom
website for all of their partner labels. For partner label only month, they
have the story of Wave Productions Mail Order Murder on VHS from Degausser The Sweet
East On VHS from Degausser Heavy Metal Parking Lot Ringer t this VHS hit fest
T, which is pretty rad skateboard screen print that they did. You wish
was that? I wish that. I wish that was a T shirt.
Yeah, that'd be a good shirt. And then Utopia socks to keep adding
to everybody's soccer collection. Somebody in the chat get Ryan some Utopia socks.
There. One size fits all, it won't work. Oh is that?
Like? Okay, that's the big thing. One size fits all that maxes
out at like size eleven or twelve for mill sizes. That's false advertising,
you can see. I wish it'd be funny if you bring down OCNT about
the sock sizes. Oh man, even night I saw on the Man,
I'll tell you what I love. One Tree Hill. I'm sorry that that
showrunner was abusive to everybody, but on the show every night was a chef
kiss, just everything about it. I guess I have to watch One Tree
Hill someday. Oh my god, watch it with me. Let's do a
One Tree Hill party when we get out to LA. You've never watched One
Tree Hill till you watch it then no, not at all. Then over
on the mill You scene site, we got some really bad censoring here.
Thanks Instagram, you can order Candice Candy and this French word that I'm not
gonna be able to say. This is a double feature from nineteen seventy five
and seventy six. You've got an alt sequence for soft version. You've got
all sequence for export version on the On the second feature, you got subs
on this and a trailer. Someone tells me this gal is just not that
serious about her job. Oh man, so many fans of One Tree Hill
in the chat tonight. I love it. It was a great show.
If you're the right age and watch One Tree Hill. Also on the mill
You scene site from the Command Cinema line, you got Heavy Load and Lecture
from nineteen seventy five and seventy three. This is the second of the hardcore
features from Chuck Vincent. Sounds the title sounds like a diagnosis when you're from
the fertility clinic you're trying to get pregnant. I'm sorry man, that your
husband has a heavy load. It's a rare condition and difficult to treat heavy
load syndrome. Oh jeez, this has trailers on the disc and that is
it in terms of features. But they are two case scans and restorations from
the OCN and then finally agfuzz outing. This month was over on the Miliuscene
site and not on Vinegar Syndrome. They are putting out sex Demon and other
hauntings. This is from nineteen seventy one to seventy five and sounds kind of
amazing. This has lost for decades and now found. Sex Demon is an
erotic grotesquery that was openly inspired by the Exorcist and Abby John gives Jim his
lover a medallion as an anniversary gift, but all hell breaks loose, literally
when the medallion causes Jim to become possessed by a sex demon and wreak havoc
on New York's gay cruising spots. Never released on home video j C.
Cricket Sex Demon is a crucial piece of queer horror history that has been preserved
from a sixteen millimeters release print. Plus the triple X rated hauntings continue with
Deadly Blows and ten thirty Pm Monday, two formally lost horror films that also
make their uncut home video debuts. In the words of Gay Scene critic Bruce
King. The squeamish may not want to watch, but if you do,
you won't forget. Oh hey, I got a joke. What did the
bisexual guy say when he heard agfa's announcement of Sex Demon? What did he
say? Well, you know, I think I can get behind that this
is a bisexual I got it. So this is going to be a region
free. We've got Sex Demon, which is fifty eight minutes preserved from a
sixteen millimeter theatrical print. Commentary by Elizabeth Purchell and kJ Sheppard on that.
Deadly Blows is fifty two minutes preserved from a sixteen millimeter theatrical print. We
had a partial commentary by Elizabeth Purchell. Ten thirty pm Monday, is a
sixty minute film preserved from a sixteen millimeter theatrical print. We had a partial
commentary by Elizabeth Purchill on there, and then we got trailers from agfa's video
vault. This seems like an incredible release. Yeah, that's awesome, and
again, like so much credit goes I'm glad to say act for doing it
too, but I always appreciate, especially in the early days of Pikorama,
paying attention to queer adult movie Cay cinema. Yeah, fact, it's been
a while, so I'm glad to see it coming back. Did you need
the giggle? A you said that coming on my back? Oh? Oh
god, I don't even know what to say. Well, this just goes
to show though. But those uh, you know, those people that think
homosexuality and queerness is caused by demons and whatnot. Do you ever tell a
story about you don't finish your thought? Okay, never tell the story about.
So this, uh, this documentary film studio I worked at in eastern
Kentucky, some team there was a program that trained teenagers how to use the
film equipment so they go out and make their own documentaries. And this was
back in like early two thousands, right, like two thousand and two three,
something like that. Maybe even earlier than that, might have been late
nineties. But they made a document short documentary called Through Their Eyes and it
was about the lives of queer people living in the Appalachian region, where,
of course a lot of traditional religious views. And they interviewed this guy who
was like, I want to say, early sixties, and he was in
his early sixties and he was telling a story about how his church had held
him down on the floor, right, like this was a they did,
like an exorcism. They put him down on the floor and he had to
close his eyes while they prayed the gay out of them, right, And
he's telling the story and he says, you know, and I closed my
eyes and I listened to them, and I've I felt everything to feel,
and you know it's going on. And they prayed and prayed and prayed,
and when I opened my eyes, I saw the most beautiful man I'd ever
seen. Those of the great interview moments I've ever seen in a documentary.
That's fantastic. It was what a great guy. All right? That is
it for OCN for partner only month. I know there's always questions about this,
So just to remind everybody, Vinegar Syndrome titles are just simply not visible
on the Vinegar Syndrome website until the end of June. July first, they
will be back with the new random announcements and everything will be available to purchase,
and it's going to be a subscriber week where they sell the second half
of the year subscription for everybody for that first week of July as well,
humbled horror honeys off to watch One Tree Hill. Hey, you got to
make the investment because some of the later season just get crazy. You got
to give Chad Michael Murray time to burrow into your heart. I support all
Chads. Chad Michael Murray. That was from the He was like late era
three first name teen actor. Yep, you know, following in the footsteps
of Jonathan Taylor Thomas and all those Zachary Tay bryantson, all those other psychopaths
from Home Improvement. I think JK T turned out okay though, him and
the mom and the only ones that escape. I think so all right.
Going to our next one, Rules of Engagement is coming on four K from
Keno Over at some point. This is with Tommy Lee Jones and Samuel L.
Jackson. Guy, here's Ben Kingsley, Bruce Greenwood, Blair Underwood,
Philip Baker Hall directed by the one and only William Friedkin. I'm sure you've
seen this one. Will Have you seen this? I have not? Oh
really, but I'm gone. I didn't even realize that Freakin had directed it.
That was during a period where I just wasn't up on my Friedkin.
I guess but oh, how about that good for Sophia. But Tommy Lee
and Sam Jackson and a war movie. Hell yeah, in a serious war
movie with the rest of that cast too. Yeah, this is a good
movie. I'll take your word doing it. Let's see next Ease from Third
Window Films in the UK on August twelfth, We Are Getting Your Lovely Smile
from twenty twenty two is a bittersweet, hilarious and lightning and inspirational road trip
through Japanese art house cinemas with independent filmmaker Hiro Boomy Watanabe, who also struggles
to release his own movies in real life. This delightful, minimalist micro budget
dramedy ironically and truthfully depicts a sorrowful post COVID situation and Japanese cinema is the
rapidly changing film culture and the newly rediscovered habits of spectators. As an unyielding
optimist hero, Boomy painstakingly and stubbornly strives to invent clever distribution methods while keeping
on striving to make his movies. Oh this looks cool, looks cool,
sounds a little bit depressing. We got an interview with the director Lim Kha
Why We've got an interview with film festival programmer Yoshi Yatabe, deleted in extended
scenes and a trailer. Third Window Films always puts a lot a love on
other releases. I definitely want to check this out. Yeah. One Tree
Hill known well for low talker actresses. Yeah, uh, Sophia Bush,
low talker? Whoever that? Who's that woman that played Peyton? She's married
to Megan. She's a low talker. Mhm, what's her name? I
never saw One Tree Hill, so I'm not sure. Do you don't know
who's married to Megan? Nope? Meagan wife. Yeah, you just googled
Meagan wife? Did it work? Yeah, Hilary, I see. I
never would have got that name ever. Yeah, Oh, Ronnie got it.
My sister went to summer school with her. Interesting mm hmm, all
right, are you ready to do some shouts? Announced that on August twentieth,
we are getting a four K release of The Last Unicorn from nineteen eighty
two. Yes, this is gonna have new four K transfer and a new
profile of Peter S. Beagel, but no other new special features. It's
gonna be this. The the rest will be the same as their other Blu
ray release they did except in four K. This looks good to me.
I don't have the earlier release, so I'll just go straight to this one.
Nice. I think I'm still rocking the DVD of this. Next up,
Poulter Guys too getting the four K treatment. This one does not have
any new special features as far as I can see, and they are not
working on anymore as far as I can see. They just announced it with
nothing new, and there it is. I'm gonna go back to the last
Unicorn because I had the same question that Craig has. What did Craig say?
What did the arrows indicate? It is a double sided poster? Oh?
Both of that artwork? You know, I've I've talked about this before.
I double sided posters. Uh stressed me out because the choice like do
you again? You do you rotate it? Then you? Uh? I
just just give me two posters, charging me extra couple of bucks. I
get it. Hey, who directed Poultry guys to any controversy on that bullshit?
Oh? Man, that made me laugh really hard. I don't I
don't even know who directed Poltar guys to? Who did it? Damn right?
Uh? What's it saying? You don't know if Poultry Guys III is
likely going to be coming on four K eventually, if they're willing to do
this, when I'm sure they'll do that. They're one directed by Brian Gibson.
Uh, who did Still Crazy? What's that? I have no idea?
Not a song. I thought it was a comedy. I'm not sure.
Oh well, a cover art doesn't look too good, but it's got
Stephen Ray and Billy Connolly. Some assume it's a British guy doing an American
poultry Geist. Interesting After Poultrygeist, we also got the Delta Force on four
K g Norris four kuh, So this one incredibly bare bones four K release,
dropped all of the Scorpion extras and they're not working on any new extras.
That sucks. I would have talked about this one for well well past
the running time to two commentaries for film. I mean, the guy shoots
a missile out of his motorcycle. But that's a great movie. That's a
great cinematic moment. So this is coming on four K on August thirteenth from
Shout Okay and then following that Evil Dead, the twenty thirteen film is getting
a four K Steel book. As usual, Shout could have released this earlier
with the other four K they did of this already, but they're choosing to
release this later, So now people have to either double dip if they want
a steal book of this, or just choose to not buy it, which
is what a lot of people are probably gonna do. I love this film,
but I already have the four K they did, and this is an
identical film or an identical release. I like the Belile cameo there in the
background. It is a nice steal, I gotta admit, and the posters
nice. That'd be a cool You know, we don't have enough monster crossover
movies anymore. I fully agree. I would love to see basket Case Evil
Dead. Yeah, that'd be funny. I don't know why, but when
you said that, I was thinking Belile and Beetlejuice. Just call it Belile
Juice. Oh what's what do you think about that Beetlejuice sequel? I don't
know, honestly, I'm kind of hopeful about it. I guess uh Ash
wants to know when is Trick or Treat four K, Silent Scream, four
K, Dust of a four K and April Fool's Day four K coming out
eventually, that's the answer. We don't have dates on any of them.
Uh, Nick Amedes, what's the allure of steel books? Do you have
any steel books? Do you? Are you a fan of any steel book
release? You know? I have some, but they're just kind of random.
I mean they if I drop them, I'm less concerned, and funny
enough, you probably should be more concerned. Yeah. Actually, as I
said, realized all they're heavier, they'll probably smash everything inside. A steel
books are supposed to have special art on them, and they're supposed to be
nice, like I've got I don't know if you can see down there,
I've got steel books visible on display on the wall. I like steel books
just fine. I don't know that I prefer them anymore. I think this
is one. They're a steel book of Dune. Dune yep, But I
mean I don't care. Yeah, I get that. As long as it
looks nice, I'm not gonna double dip for packaging. I agree at this
point. Yeah, speaking of steel books, this was a Best Buy exclusive
and now it's gonna be released widely. We're getting the Becker Steelbook on August
sixth, available everywhere, just in case you didn't pick that up before.
It's spreading. It is spreading the virus. Same thing with Dragonheart. This
was a Walmart exclusive, but now it will be everywhere on August sixth,
in a four K steel book. Ronald Reagan versus James Bond, Dragonheart.
I'm excited about this one. Shout Select releasing Observe and Report on August thirteenth,
this one. They are working on extras four and we don't know what
they're gonna be yet. Is that sarcasm? Are you? Are you excited
about Observing Report? I really like this movie. This is a great movie.
Yeah, it got a little overblown because of fucking Paul Blart Mall Coop
releasing at the same time, and Paul Blart was a massive hit and this
was not. And Paul Blart was awful, awful. I haven't seen Paul
Blart, but this is dark, and I you know, and I well,
I don't want to spoil anything for anybody, but it's exactly the kind
of thing that I find emotionally satisfying. It's a good movie and a good
cash seth Rogen, Anna Faris, Michael Penia, Rayleiota, Anna Faris is
incredible in this movie, one of her best. Mm hmm, how's that
for a Chris Pratt reference. Somebody was complaining that we didn't talking about Chris
Pratt. I'm team Anna. Moving on to the next. This is a
big deal. August twentieth, Shout Select has Death to Smoochy coming on Blu
ray for the first time in the world. They say, extras in progress
and we'll be announced later. Please do something decent for this film. Why
is this a big deal? Because this is a great movie and it's never
been released and people have been after this for a long time. I've never
heard anybody say that before this, and like The Bird Cage and a couple
others, this was like box office poison, wasn't that? Yeah, And
now it's a cult classic. I don't know that's true. I bet lots
of people in the chat are gonna want this one. This is the Robin
Williams, Edward Norton, Danny DeVito joined and will doesn't care one bit.
I guess let's talk about Pee Wee's Playhouse. Then, uh, Shout just
got the rights back for this and they are re releasing their complete series of
Pee Wee's Playhouse. And now this is where this gets a little controversial,
and I'm gonna I'm gonna not be attacking Shout too too much tonight. But
speaking of pretty shitty behavior from a label, Uh, Shout knew that they
were announcing this this last week, but about ten days ago, Shouts started
selling Pee Wee's Playhouse on eBay from their official Shout Studios account. That is
actually kind of shitty for one hundred and fifty dollars in the old cardboard box
case that came in and now you can buy it from them directly brand new
for eighty dollars without the cardboard sleeve. And they knew they were about to
do that. That's subterfuge right there. That is so so ridiculous that they
would do that. That's ethically dubious, dubious, dubious. I don't know
that it's dubious. Well, I mean, if they had ethics, they
would have been like first edition blowout and sold it cheaper, right. Yeah,
That's what I would have done because I have addicts. Uh so this
this is the thing they're selling just a box at a Peaks playoff now for
eighty dollars, or you can get this bundle here with everything you see here,
of course, which is the complete series eight disc set Retro Trading Cards
fun pack with five five retro trading cards, Pee Wee's playoffs, four x
three inch magic screen, lenticular card, retro Prism stickers, and then a
gutter garbs and Shout Factory exclusive enamel pin set. The box set is eighty
dollars. How much do you think this whole package is will an unethical amount?
Just guess the box set is eighty How much is everything together? I'm
gonna go with two thirty nine fairly close. One hundred and eighty dollars.
Oh that was my first stop. Then I was like, nah, they'd
probably charge more one hundred and eighty dollars for three stickers, five cards,
a magnet sheet and five pins. You don't even get a prism. They
should go to Prism. I tell you, though, I you know,
we agree about the ethics thing, but do you know what ethics gets you
self satisfaction but also debt, home insecurity and career dead ends. That's what
it gets you. On top of that, Ryan from New World says,
now, I'm curious what kind of morally dubious actions they take with Corman's back
catalog now that Corman's gone, charging thirty six dollars with no special features.
That's one thing, plus shipping plus on top of all that. I don't
know if we should spoil this or anything like that, but there is a
copyright that just showed up that makes it appear as if Shout has a Bava
box set coming what so we have that to come in our future potentially.
They're also doing Bill and Ted's most triumphant trilogy, with all three of the
Bill and Ted films on four K. We've got commentaries on all of them,
We've got Dolby Vision on all of them, four K scan of all
of them, and a bunch of special features that we had previously. But
this is the first time that Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey has been on four
K or blu ray by itself because they're also doing it by itself. They're
also doing the new one Bill and Ted Face the Music by itself as well.
How do you feel about Bill and Ted? We never talked about Bill
and Ted, So unless I'm missing something, this one's ethically okay, right.
Oh, Not only that they made a good choice for the first time,
right, because they only had the first one in four K. Now
it's all three on four Canna box. Yes, I recall really liking the
first one when I was a kid, and the second one I mostly liked
as a kid because it had faith no more in it. Well, I
need to see him again. I haven't seen the third one yet, so
I don't think I've seen the third one yet either. It was on Hulu.
It was like a Hulu excusive. Speaking of exclusives, We've got two
Amazon exclusives to talk about coming on July thirtieth from Tribeca Films. First one
is Mary Heilman. New York based artist Mary Hylmand is one of the most
influential American abstract painters of her time. Heilman's work has been exhibited throughout the
world in museums such as the Whitney, Dia Beacon, and MoMA. This
documentary offers a visually immersive journey through her life, using rare archival material and
in studio footage to explore the artist's mind and practice. Sounds like a bunch
of shit that I don't understand, but I would try to. Also On
July thirtieth, one that is probably more a pure alley. We get Nude
Tuesday from twenty twenty two. In an effort to rekindle the spark in their
troubled marriage, Laura and Bruno head to a couple's retreat run by relationship and
sexual healing guru Bjorg, plagued by miscommunication New Tuesdays and utterly singular excursion into
naturism and self discovery. Both of those are Amazon exclusives. Too bad,
it's not Byork that would be interesting. It's true, you know what I
actually liked. They're gonna hammer me in the comments and in the and in
life. Yes, couples retreat, the vent's fall. Yeah, it was
really funny. That's it. I like that story my life. Mom My
mom says, omg, there's so many tonight I want and cannot afford nor
have room to store. Interesting. She pops in right when Nude Tuesday pops
up. Next up is a launch of Aaron West and Jill Blake's Senate Journeys.
So this is a friend of the show Aaron West and Jill Blake.
They are doing brand new like film journey Excursion together. Basically, they were
doing the Criterion Now podcast, which was founded in twenty seventeen and they decided
to create Sinate Journeys after seeing changes in the online film communities and social media
that were super negative. They wanted more engagement in the form of thoughtful discussion
and camaraderie, but realized that what they wanted did not exist, so they
set forth on building it. So this is a site you can go to
and go on journeys with them. A journey is best described as an exploration
into a film genre, director, actor, or era. Each journey is
led by a guide who will provide insights and commentary on the chosen topic while
facilitating discussion with those who have registered for that journey. There is a page
that you can register for specific journeys and check it out. There is a
membership fee for like doing all of the journeys at once, or you can
just do a basic free membership and you can get as much as you put
into it. And uh, yeah, there's a lot of work they did
into this. But they're also bringing back the Criteria Now podcast, which is
gonna make a lot of people excited. Check it out. Also, little
secret they're gonna be on the channel here, so doing an interview about send
a journey, So you got more coming about that. Like I said,
Bill and Ted face the music. This is also getting a standalone for K
release. And then Barnes and Noble is hosting two different sales right now,
one on AMC and Shutter titles and one on Keno Laber titles. And the
big thing is the Keno Laber titles are for brand new current titles, so
check that out. Yeah, there's a lot that you might want to take
a peek at, especially on the Shutter side. They were like shockingly cheap,
like ten or eleven bucks for lots of the Blu rays. I think
another online Behriemouth is doing some price matching or undercutting. What's true? They
are price matching, yes, because I just ordered High Noon four K.
My mom wanted to clarify. She typed slowly and she was trying to say
that when Bill and Ted was on the screen, that's way sexier. Speaking
of sexy. A twenty four putting out a four K and Blu ray release
of Love Lies Bleeding from this year, the excellent movie from Rose Glass.
This is getting the A twenty four site exclusive release. This is gonna have
a filmmaker commentary with Rose Glass and the co writer Veronica Tofilska in the Land
of Guns and Muscles featurette. Sex Steroids and Codependency featurette. Behind the scenes
photography by Beth Garabin, to Anna Kourus and Grace Pickering. You can check
this out now and it's It's surprisingly fairly priced. I know a lot of
people do not love it shopping a twenty four because they're usually super overpriced.
Orkay for this is thirty five bucks, which is right in line with every
other boutique. Yeah, this is a great movie. Those stills look like
an Orville Peck music video. It kind of feels like it in some scenes.
I haven't seen it, but I did watch Kristen Stewart day drinking with
Seth Meyers a couple. It is pretty good. Respect Yeah, I think
many people would like this movie. I would say check it out if you
are interested. Um oh man uh. We got a zabie UK exclusive collector's
edition of Beetlejuice coming in a four K steal book on September thirtieth. No
new features just a bunch of fancy packaging. Two Prime, Why no three
Prime, No no writer releases, all right, Prime Love Love love,
uh Man, lots of Love for Love, livees bleeding Love. That cool.
Dallas says, if Orville Peck wrote an album inspired by eightie Shee Hulk
comics, I could nice. I could hear that. Uh. Next up
another UK exclusive, Blazing Saddles four K coming in this crazy over the top
package. We don't have a release date on it, but you can pre
order it now. You've got the film in four K steel book with artwork
to be confirmed, but it'll likely be pretty close to that. You got
a rigid slipcase, you got all kinds of art cards and double sided posters
and all that crap. This will likely get a US release. But what's
crazy is Warner keeps giving these these extravagant releases to their big titles in the
UK, and then the US gets like one cut of a film on four
K with no extras. Well, to me, they missed a golden opportunity
to include a Cannabians. I think that would be really funny packaging extra,
maybe as a magnet. I'm sure shipping a Cannabians would not have been great.
Well, that's what we'll be with the US release. Like UK gets
all this great stuff and even we get broken cans of beans. What's funny
is if you order from Amazon, they'll put the steel book in the canna
beans in a box with no packing material. I'll just run. Yeah,
I tell you those Amazon packaging wizards, it's pretty bad. Well, you
know, I feel torn because I support unionization, but I also support putting
the goddamn packing material in right right. Another one that we were worried about
getting released. Just in about a week and a half we got All the
Strangers coming to Blu Ray in the UK from Disney themselves. This is going
to have roots of the story building Adam's world as extras and will also come
with a poster. This will be region free. I know there were a
lot of people looking at this on Diabolic and he says this is a region
b disc. It is a region free release. All Disney Blu rays are
region free. And then on top of that, the Amazon listing shows that
it's region free and the back of the case shows that it's region free.
So if you want this, you can pre order it from Diabolic and maybe
Orbit as well, and I know a lot of us are gonna do it.
So make sure that you check this out because who knows if this will
ever come out in the US. Looks like somebody's coming out on the covers.
It's a movie like that. Yeah, nice. I like it when
people get tempted, all right? Next up, side effects may vary the
next JR. Book Walter film. You can pre order the Blu ray exclusively
right now through Kickstarter. It is going to be a pressed Blu ray through
the Kickstarter. When it releases later through Tempe Digital, it'll only be a
mod Blu ray. This will also have an exclusive cut of the film,
the eighty four minute uncut theatrical version. Later on, it's going to be
edited ever so slightly, so if you want the uncut version, check it
out on their Kickstarter now. Mm hmmm uh are you a j R.
Bookwalter guy? What does that mean? Have you watched many of his films?
Mmm? I don't think so, but I enjoyed I watched. I
just watched the interview he did for The Zombie Army, and I thought it
seemed like a really interesting guy. Yea, let's started following him on the
insta. I'm my, I'm it seems impossible that I haven't given my days
at the video store right but I just don't know what what it would have
been. I'll have to go and look through his uh filmography see the titles.
Jay Ronnie says, Orbit has all of us rangers for cheaper than Diabolic.
F YI what oh he did? Nod yep? Oh Dead next Door?
Yeah? Yeah, good stuff. I assumed you had seen Dead next
Door at least. I uh oh he did two of the witch Houses.
Okay, I gotcha. I always confused The Dead next Door with a full
Moon movie. What's that called? No idea? Yeah, things like the
Dead Don't Die or something that's the Jim Jarmusch film. I think, Oh
that movie sucked, dude. That made me. That made me like reconsider
my fandom. The Dead hate the Living is the fast one. I love
the dead, hate the living. I hate the dead don't die. Thank
you, Terry h. Next one is one that people have been clamoring for
for quite some time, and that is the people's joker. This is coming
from Altered Innocence with a Diabolic DVD exclusive slipcover you can pre order now.
And this is the front and reverse of the slipcover. And this is the
Inner Arts. This is from twenty twenty two and if you have not seen
this, This revolutionary DIY parody film and hilarious reimagining of the classic autobiographical coming
of age story follows an unconfident, closeted trans girl as she moves to Gotham
City to make it big as a comedian by joining the cast of UCB Live,
a government sanctioned the late night sketch show in a world where comedy has
been outlawed as mainstream success eludes our heroine, leading her to unite with the
ragtag team of rejects, misfits and a certain love interest named Miss Jay.
Joker the Harlequin is born again as a confident and psychotic Joker on a collision
course with the city's fascist caped crusader That's a feminizing, chemical sexy cartoon interlude.
Scarecrow, psychiatrist CGI, Lorne Michaels, and psychedelic gender Dysphoria all play
supporting roles held by writer director editor Starr Vera Drew and using her own life
experience as a basis for the film, The People's Joker is a deeply personal
journey that's as much documentary as it is a parody. I like how Richard
Brody endorses two movies this week, and it's the plot against Harry and the
People's Joker. That's a good range. Respect to Richard Brody. This also
includes the talents of some pretty big names. You've got Tim Heidecker, Bob
Odenkirk, Maria Bamford, Scott Ackerman, Lynn Downey, and I think that's
all the ones I recognize. You got a twenty four page comic book in
this, a comment three different commentary tracks, discussion with Ver Drew and Corpses,
Fools and Monsters authors Willow, Caitlin McLay and Caden Mark Gardner, and
then a couple other featurettes. And this is supposed to be incredible. No,
yeah, I'm really looking forward to checking that out next up. And
yeah, reminding everybody, Diabolic DVD exclusive slipcover on this. It will be
available everywhere else on the standard like you can pre order on Amazon. But
yeah, if you want that slipcover, check out the Diabolic site. You
can already pre order. And then we got Radiance some big, big titles.
Oh yeah. September twenty third in the UK, September twenty fourth in
the US and Canada. Tattooed Life from Sejun Suzuki. We get an audio
commentary by William Carroll, author of Sajun Suzuki in Post War cinema, newly
edited archival interview with Suzuki, newly edited archival interview with the art director to
Kao Kimura, a trailer, and then we've got a booklet with new writing
by Tom Vick in a newly translated archival review of the film. That's great,
love Suzuki. So this is a film that I men i'll get before.
So it's been a while since Criterion did any Suzuki, so I'm sure
a lot of people are excited about this an era too. There's still I've
got one of their box sets, but there's a missing one that went out
of print. But yeah, ah right, next is a man on his
knees. I'm sure this is a probably the one will is most excited about
this month. Uh. Damiano Damiani is a frickin legend, underappreciated, and
I'm so pleased that Radiance has been restoring and releasing so many of Domiani's movies.
I think one of the best filmmakers in terms of depicting the Italian mafia.
In fact, almost all of us major films are mafia films. He
was a radical political thinker and incredible artist, and everybody should get every Domiani
they possibly can. This one we got archival interviews on here, new interviews
with Alberto Pizzulta, the author of Reggio Domiano Domiani, and then a booklet
with new writing by Roberto Curti, limited to three thousand and Yeah. This
looks pretty dang great. Yeah, this is. And I saw that there
was a ten percent discount if you order the entire bundle from Radiance if you
order four of the five titles, any four, so that I think that
comes up to like sixty nine dollars, which is nice. Yeah, and
Ryan agrees with you about Dommiani. All right, Ryan, men you but
Dallas's great title definitely feels like June Ronnie said a man on his knees,
another title for Pride Month. I wasn't gonna make a joke about that,
but then I was like, nah, you know I've already made some like
jokes about like the physical act of coupling that you know, are meant to
be in you know, silly and sweet but could be taken as as as
ridicule and so I'm gonna let that one go. And then of course somebody
I was in I was like, but guess what, we'll good on you.
We've been doing this for two hours and forty minutes already and we still
have twenty more titles to go. Are you serious? I'm quit talking.
I did not mean that to shut you up. Next title is we Still
Kill the Old Way from nineteen sixty seven. I love this cover. Yeah,
I love the artwork on this. We host they killed it Ald Way
by bothering the guy to death. Leave me hello. This is gonna have
a two K restoration archival documentary with the interviews with a bunch of people in
there a few other interviews that are archival as well, and then a couple
of new ones. We got a book the new writing on the film by
scholar David Wingrove. And again this is a film by Elio Petrie. Looks
fricking great, certainly does. Radiance has a problem that all the titles they
put out look amazing and I am poor. Now. This next one had
an earlier release from was it Kenna Shout Shout? But that's out of print,
I believe so. But this is also this one is only coming in
the UK September twenty third on the Blu Ray in the UK, we Get
A Quiet Place in the Country by Ello Petrie and this movie. Have you
seen this one? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, it's very good. I
mean Petri's great. Yeah. So my question is because I didn't get a
chance to check, as are the extras different, as the restoration different?
There, the restoration will probably be the same, Okay, Sadly there is
a new interview by Stephen Thrower on here ooho minutes or so that, and
then there's a visual essay by Kat Ellinger on the theme of masculinity in the
film and Petrie's work. There's also a booklet in this with new writing by
Simon Abrams. And if you have never seen this movie, this movie is
amazing. Yeah, Eleo Petrie does great with this. Vanessa Redgrave, Franco
Niro. Anything with Franco Nero is always gonna be good, but this movie
is especially great. Chris says this one is missing a commentary from the Shout
Factory release. Oh okay, I can't remember who does the shout and I
don't I don't know if the Shout version is out of print. Let me
see Wuyett Place in I'm true. Yeah, it is not on the Shout
website anymore, so it is likely at a print. Brian says. This
movie rips. Next title, they partnered up with Grindhouse Releasing in the UK
and they are releasing Death Game together. Oh you went too Fast. The
commentary on A Quiet Place in the Country is by friend of the show Troy
Hoarth. Nice. So if you have the Shout Factory and I want to
hold on to it, very nice. Of course, if you want to
sell it, it's going for about fifty six dollars geez. So yeah.
Grindhouse Releasing partnered with Radiance to get their titles out in the UK. The
first one is Death Game. As far as I can tell, there's not
going to be anything new or exclusive to this. There's a twenty four page
full colored booklet with photos and liner notes, but other than that, the
disc that they put out in the US is overloaded, just like all of
the Grindhouse Releasing discs. They they they choose, you know, alternate films
to put on there. They put old cuts on there, they put trailers
on there. They have Easter eggs galore on all of their discs. Grindhouse
releasing. They don't put a whole lot, but when they do, you're
getting hours and hours and hours of extra content. Deluxe Dallas says, do
we prefer Death Game or Knock Knock. I don't know that many people love
Knock Knock. I think most people would choose Death Game, But I also
think most people still haven't seen death game that has a good double feature.
Frankly, honestly, it works, and it has played that way a couple
times. In fact, I think the nupev even did Death Game in Knock
Knock. Anyways, going to the next one, Whole Green Pictures. This
is the second title from this label. They are putting out Journey from the
Fall from two thousand and six on Blu Ray on July tenth. If you
go to the Media OCD site, you can get to a store exclusive slip
cover and this is Vietnamese film. April thirtieth, nineteen seventy five, mark
the end of Vietnam's two decade old civil war and the art of the exodus
of hundreds of thousands of refugees. Despite his alliance to the toppled South Vietnamese
government, long Wind decides to remain in Vietnam. Imprisoned in a communist re
education camp, he urges his family to make the escape by boat without him.
His wife, my son Lai, and mother bon Noy then embark on
the arduous ocean voyage in the hope of reaching the US and freedom. Journey
from the Fall Premier does an official selection of the two thousand and six Sundance
Film Festival went on to win sixteen international awards, and it is powerful and
Unforgettable's supposed to be great. This will also include the symphonic soundtrack CE for
this, there's a making of an alternate version, alternate ending, cast and
crew commentary, some interviews, original trailer, and all kinds of other extras,
and some AHI photoshop. Yeah, this cover's not good in any semblance
of that word. Everything else sounds great, yes, I agree. Going
back to Shout Factory, a couple of days after their announcements, they just
randomly had a brand new steel book show up on Walmart as Walmart exclusives Return
of the Living Dead coming out in a four K steel book on August twentieth,
and The Last Unicorn in a four K steel book on August twentieth as
well. Both of those exclusive to Walmart. Both the exact same release as
the standard release, So you're not getting anything special on this except for the
steel book. Now. I don't want to essentialize any category of people,
sure, but I just when I think of people who collect steel books,
I don't necessarily think of people who collect the last Unicorn marang on. This
is this a reductive? I think there are fans of all kinds of cinema
that collect steel books. I only ever see bros Man. That's because that's
what titles mostly get released on steel books. But like all of the let's
see, there's all kinds of animation titles, like all kinds of like all
of the Pixar titles have been released on steel book. At this point,
I have not heard this. Yeah, they're all right there, but movie
bros love Pixar. Oh that's a good point too. I don't know the
signer got me. That's pretty good. Sivenor says, this is for bro
nees. I hope to meet this signor sometime. Light Bulb Films in the
UK is releasing hundreds of Beavers on Blu Ray on July twenty second. This
is another one of those films that is just taking Everything by Storm is supposed
to be amazing. The filmmaker is teasing a US announcement coming next week,
so keep your eyes peeled for that. I'm sure we will hear something.
Then, Oh my god. This is this is where a dream starts out
really exciting and then turns into a nightmare. Uh, going right along.
Food Ink two is coming on blue ray on July ninth from Magnolia. Now,
this is this is odd because like, I enjoyed Food Ink the first
one. Did you ever see that first documentary? No, I'm already aware.
You're you're already aware of food Yeah, and you know all the problem
Well, I've read all the Michael Pollin books and like I'll read it and
I'm like, yeah, that's what I gotta do. And then and then
you pick up McDonald's. You can't afford it, right, So you know,
quit making documentaries and try to make some policy guys. I just find
it odd to go back to the well of a fairly popular documentary a long
time later and live off of that name. See seems like an odd well
to keep going back to it. That's the problem of factory farming too.
They keep going back to the same land until they've ruined it, yes,
instead of turning the crops. I'm sure this is a very important and useful
amount of information, but the people who need to know it aren't gonna watch
it. This is true. The people who do watch it are gonna be
like, yeah, I know right, I only shop on the edges of
my grocery store and they wear their canvas bags that take seventeen years before they're
freaking have a good impact. You know. So this kind of stuff just
like who's this for? You know, it's a good question, all right?
This and this one's like, oh, look at all the the sustainable
farming and stuff. Yeah, okay, great. You know I'm not a
farmer, and I can't affect any farm policy, you know, can you?
You know, what are you doing at the federal and state level to
promote sustainable farming? Not a hell of a lot. So is this documentary
going to change things? Probably? Not. Another thing that won't. July
thirtieth, we are getting a Mod four K release of Black Mass from Warner.
It's got the archival features on there and nothing else. Another Johnny Depp
title. I got so mad about something that I actually support, I'm just
indifferent. To the Johnny Depth. Then, well, let's talk about a
four K title that a lot of people are more excited about. Can't hardly
wait from nineteen ninety eight to coming to four K on August twentieth from Sony,
which means it's going to look amazing. You've got this coming with Dolby
Vision and there are eleven newly uncovered, alternate and deleted scenes coming on this
disc for the first time ever. Have you seen this one? No?
I tried it, but I didn't. I didn't relate. It wasn't my
kind of teendom. Nothing in it like rang true to me. Oh to
my experience, I'm sure, but I know a lot of people are very
nostalgic for it. So hooray, it's a good movie. I'm very excited
this is coming in four K. Beyond that, the Sony had released a
Blu ray just a couple of years ago and went out a print very very
quickly, So I'm glad this is gonna be out there. Yeah, this
is a good movie. Yeah, you look concerned about it. I'm just
trying to figure out what to say. Yeah, it just wasn't It was
more of a Heather's guy. I guess when it comes to high school?
All right, everybody should watch. Can't hardly wait. It's fantastic. Except
for Will. July thirtieth, we're getting a four K of focus from twenty
fifteen, the Will Smith Margot Robbie film. Some archival features on there,
and that is it. This is probably gonna be a mod disc as well.
You know, in a high school movie. I did like I like
Better Off Dead. It's a good movie. I like comedies about teen suicide,
and I mean, it's not like it has to be my experience,
but I just I don't know, Like I didn't get it. I didn't
get it. You know what I don't get? Why do we need to
be told twice that this is four KL t HD. I mean, you've
got it emblazoned on the case itself, and then you put it on the
sleeve art as well, right next to each other. You're taking hup space
for no reason. Anyways, I don't know another four K release. Keno
giving us Last Year in Marion Bad from nineteen sixty one on four K on
August twenty seventh. This has the audio commentary by Tim Lucas that was done
previously interviewed with the filmmaker and Last Year at Marion Bad a diaze, a
visual essay by James Quant Memories of Last Year at Marion Bad and then a
nineteen fifty seven short film as well, and uh yeah, I've not seen
this one and I need to. Oh that's great. Yeah, that's a
good one, Alan Rene, fantastic Last Year at Marion bade of those best
films. And you know what you want have some funny is just as a
little callback. Yes, I got my Better Off Dead here steal book.
That was an f YE exclusive for a couple of years. Are they still
around? No, I don't. Well I think they are, but the
f only stands for funko. Now I actually get what you mean. Doesn't
have like any special features. You know, where's the four K Savage Steve
Holland trilogy? You know, One Crazy Summer, Better Off Dead and How
I Got to College? Okay, that's that's a teen comedy trip tick,
right, the you might get Better Off Dead, you probably won't get four
K. The other two, well, How I Got to College hasn't even
gotten on Blu ray release. That's I'm getting it. I think One Crazy
Summer got a Warrener Archive. Maybe is it right? That sounds right?
Let me see what year was that one? Do you remember? I want
to say eighty four eighty five. I did, yeah, back in twenty
twenty one. That was eighty six eighty six and it was Warner It was
Warner Archive. Yes, yeah, I remember some things. But I think
how I got to college is kind of underrated. It suffers from having no
Q sack. Yep, everybody's all over it. Nice my. When my
van broke up and I went solo, my rock and roll name was Charles
Damar. You can actually if you can find me on a couple of comps,
dude, like little acoustic diddies or a little like noise things, Charles
Damar. That's me. I love that. Ryan from New World says this
is your Flu Game. That's a Michael Jordan reference for anybody that doesn't know
I saw the Flu Game. I mean I was on TVA. But imagine
dots next up again. Like I mentioned Fun City Editions earlier, a lot
of people just don't pay attention to them anymore. August eighth, they are
releasing Bad Company with Jeff Bridges, and this is gonna be a great release.
This says. This tale of friendship and survival, set in the eighteen
focuses on a roguish group of runways, leading by Sorry, living by their
wits and instincts. Two of them are complimentary opposites, Drew played by Barry
Brown, a good boy from god fearing stock out west to evade the draft,
Jake by Jeff Bridges, a scruffy scoundreal. They encounter rebels and miscreants,
and their journey makes them older and wiser beyond their years. Written by
Robert Benton and David Newman and directed by Betton himself. The slipcover for this
is going to be limited and it's exclusive to the Fun City website, so
check it out. Got some good ass artwork right there, and a good
ass move it is. You've got a double sided rap on this with the
lexiarwork, new commentary by Walt Shaw, who does a lot of the deaf
Crocodile titles. Booklet with a new essay by Margaret Barton FuMO that's in the
first pressing only, and yeah, it should be a solid, solid release.
Beauteous, good Night, Dallas, oh Yan, I'm fat in the
middle of a fast too, Jack says, completely forgot NBA Final start tonight.
But this is more important. Nobody said anything about a score. Do
you want to hear it? Hey, let's talk about some monda macabre titles.
Somebody is going to do it just to fuck when it please don't.
Available for pre order two weeks from today at nine am Pacific twelve noon Eastern
on Blu Ray the Max Peakas Collection with some very fun censorship on the slip
cover. Here. Here is the inner titles I Am an Informaniac and Private
Club. Disc one is I Am an Infomaniac from nineteen seventy with a bonus
feature I Am frigid Y from nineteen seventy two, probably because your partner's an
info That also includes an episode of the Eurotica TV series about Max Peakus and
some deleted scenes. And then Disc two has this Private Club on here.
And we've got a limited edition with a slipcover with new art, reversable sleeve,
twenty page color booklet with new writing on the film by Peak Tombs,
and ten double sided art cards limited to fifteen hundred. I know why they're
frigid because they're slaves to traditional patriarchal monogamy. They need to nympho it up.
Well not, you know, they could also go voiceover and do whatever.
Yeah, and then they are also releasing the Warrior Collection on that same
day. This is going to have the entire Warrior trilogy. God damn it
what somebody posted that god damn game results where I don't see it. That's
fine, let's talk about the Warrior. This will I have all three films.
The Warrior was previously released by Mondo on DBD, but now it will
have all three of the films. You've got a two disc set with a
slipcover and a twenty page colored booklet with new writing by Pete Toombs. Again,
limited to fifteen hundred pre order two weeks from today at noon Eastern.
Yeah, that's exciting. I was just looking earlier at my Warrior DVD from
Mondo Macabre and realizing that the other two hadn't come out. So this will
be a good excuse to spend money I don't have. This is true.
Yes, the Mondo site is probably shut down for now. It'll it should
be going back up there on the day of preorders. Was that June twentieth,
Is that what you said? June twentieth, two weeks. Sweet.
All right, some updates on the Physical Media Advocate. First, you can
purchase The Physical Media Advocate now at Video Drome at Atlanta, Georgia. Go
check them out at six point seven North Highland Ave, Northeast in Atlanta.
They are great people, so please go in and check them out. Second,
we are closing in on the tenth issue of the Physical Media Advocate.
This picture is a tease of the cover art and we can't wait for everybody
to see this. It is. I know this is a very cliche thing
to say, but it is by far our biggest and best issue that we've
done yet. It's gonna be our longest one for sure. And then the
last thing is if you want to have a letter to the editor, this
is the last call. Send me an email at disc Connected Media at gmail
dot com. You can ask anything about how a film goes out through any
of these late I'll try to get some answers for you. You can ask
about rights for a film. You can give an opinion on a release,
anything like that. You can ask why Will hasn't contributed anything at all?
Yes, Ryan from New World Pictures podcast is going to be writing something for
us for this next month, and yeah, we are shaping up to be
pretty great. I'm very excited for people to see this. You know what
you need? What do I need? Will like a comic strip. I've
said that, and I actually got somebody maybe starting one. Okay, Okay,
we'll be in the tenth issue, but I'm working on it. Going
to the last couple of things. We got Star Trek Discovery, the final
season is coming to Blu Ray. You got a standard release or a steel
book release, and if you have not been picking them up along the way,
you can just pick up the complete series. We don't have a release
date for this yet, but you can pre order it now. I'm thinking,
I'm thinking it should be like a Goufus and Galant thing, but like
with collecting right or related to film somehow? Yeah? Yeah, like uh,
like Goufhus, are you gonna write a comic? Sure about the spot
here? Like Goufus packs his discs without any bubble wrap in a bubble mealer.
Gufus works at an Amazon warehouse. Glant works at Diabolic. All right,
two more titles left. The first is Balero from nineteen eighty four,
getting what looks to be a mod Blu Ray from Amazon's MGM. This is
coming on June eighteenth, just two tuesdays away from now. And then finally
when Worlds Collide, getting what looks to be a mod disc as well from
Paramount on June twenty fifth. This is the nineteen fifty one sci fi film.
Didn't that come as part of a double feature with that Zazz release?
Zazz Zazz? I think it came with uh uh War of the Worlds,
That's what I'm saying from Zaz. Yeah, the Paramount Presents edition. Yes,
Now you can just get this one on its own. Well what am
I talking about? Zav See, I had no idea what Zaz meant?
Then zavy zez that is az Zaby. I got it on Zaby. Also,
can you go back to Blero for a second. Sure, now you're
zoom out. So when you say an actor's name and then put in parentheses,
another movie they're in, you got Bo Derek And they decide to go
with nineteen eighty nine's Ghosts Can't Do It, which fine, it's directed by
John Derek and everything, but it's like a one star movie and they're like,
hey, what do you what do we think people will know? Bo
Derek for oh Man, ghosts can't do it? Definitely, No, they're
not going to put ten. Well, as Anthony says here, Blo was
previously put out by Shout with Ghosts Can't Do It, so they are linked
a little bit beyond that. Amazon likely owns the rights to Ghosts Can't Do
It, which is why they are like, I don't know, kind of
promoting their own title. Well, that's subterfuge. Yes, having tonight Brandon
who owns ten. There's a Blu Ray and it is by Warner Brothers.
Okay, I see it's out of print of course, but you can get
it used on Amazon for twenty five dollars. Well, on that note,
that's it for this week. Let's talk about what's coming out in next week
with them Nikita four K, Steel Book, Godzilla and Kong, The New
Empire, Shrek Forever After four K, A Case of the Bloody Iris four
K, which a lot of us have already looks fantastic, strongly recommended Species
two four K from shout Mute, Witness four K, which is amazing,
immaculate, finally getting its Blue South Park joining the Panda verse. Blu Ray,
The Valiant One's four K from Eureka Corell from Criterion, Celestial Toy Maker
from BBC Stop Motion getting a blu ray the bat whispers. I believe that's
from VCI, remembering Gene Wilder from Keno, Queen's Ransom from Eureka, Last
Kumite Steelbook Homework from Unearthed. I still haven't seen anybody get that in yet.
War is a virtue from Sandpiper, The Animal Kingdom from Magnet, Winter
People, Zebraman Tupac, Nice dog Man, The Luke Basson from last year
getting its release Article ninety nine, Zombie Christ that cover Blind War from Welgo
coming out next week. Her Kill Her from Massacre video and that's it.
Wasn't that last Bottom Betrayed The Mighty Quinn Finding the Money and My Love Story
Complete. Mighty Quinn looks too class. That's a interesting eighties young adult movie.
Very eighties with Rob Low there on the cover. Mutwiness strong recommend.
I know the Will and I have already talked about Mute Witness once, but
the movie's amazing immaculate as well. Same with the Case of the Bloody Iris.
I lootted it last week, but that four K looks astonishing. Strongly
recommend. It's all this Godzilla calm stuff. It's like ten movies all of
a sudden. Are they have the same movie? Yes, what's the difference?
The bottom left is a steel book. Oh oh, a book made
of steel that reminds me. I don't remember if I said this on the
show or in the discord Godzilla Minus one don't. I don't know that I
said it on the show. So I do want to say again, I
have heard from somebody that works with Toho that the reason we don't have a
physical Godzilla Minus one in the US is because Toho has a deal where they
cannot have Toho items come out on physical media within a year of one of
the US Godzilla films, And so we just got Kong and Godzilla again,
so it will be up to a full year after that until we see a
US one. Supposedly. I don't. I didn't see the contract. That's
just what I was told. But that's a long time. Now. It's
on Netflix obviously, and everybody's watching it. But release dayed on No Ruby
Ruby to ho huh. Not not too bad, not too bad? Those
guys. Well, uh, it's been a it's been a it's been a
night what's everybody doing? How we feeling will not great? But I'm here.
People are very kind in the uh In the chat, yeah, Jack
says that was a rancid joke, A couple of things that told a lot
of ransom jokes. Cory Conway says, a great stream. So you know
that's the same thing my urologists said a couple of weeks ago. Oh man,
good to know. Well, we got a lot of stuff that we
can't wait to share with everybody in due time. Those will be revealed soon,
I will say, as usual. If you are interested in carrying on
