WEBVTT 1 00:00:22.600 --> 00:00:27.960 Hey, Hey, there everybody, and welcome back to Reconnected. I am 2 00:00:28.160 --> 00:00:32.479 here with a fairly new friend of mine, Will Dodson. I had him 3 00:00:32.479 --> 00:00:36.159 on the show last week, and I hope a lot of you have seen 4 00:00:36.240 --> 00:00:39.359 that video that we put up now, because I would love it if you 5 00:00:39.399 --> 00:00:43.200 had any questions that came up after viewing that to be able to ask Will 6 00:00:43.240 --> 00:00:47.880 tonight, because man, oh man, he is a Toby Hooper expert and 7 00:00:47.960 --> 00:00:51.039 he's got a lot of other knowledge and he would be more than happy to 8 00:00:51.079 --> 00:00:54.520 share. And let's get into it. Will, how are we doing today? 9 00:00:55.240 --> 00:00:58.679 I'm doing good. Yeah, thanks for having me again. I'm really 10 00:00:58.719 --> 00:01:03.439 excited to be here and really enjoyed the Toby Hooper interview. Already got some 11 00:01:03.520 --> 00:01:15.120 good comments and saw circulating around them the social media netasphere. But I'm also 12 00:01:15.159 --> 00:01:19.840 excited to kind of diversify a little bit talk about some other films and filmmakers. 13 00:01:19.920 --> 00:01:23.879 So yeah, let's have at it nice. We already are getting some 14 00:01:23.920 --> 00:01:27.480 people shuffle in. So again, if you saw anything last Friday about Toby 15 00:01:27.519 --> 00:01:32.400 and you want to know some more, Will is literally the expert on Toby 16 00:01:32.400 --> 00:01:36.040 Hooper, so please just get those questions. We'll get to them as soon 17 00:01:36.079 --> 00:01:38.719 as we can. Got a lot to talk about tonight. There have been 18 00:01:40.840 --> 00:01:42.680 we knew this week was going to be heavy. We got Arrow announcements, 19 00:01:42.799 --> 00:01:48.319 we got Vinegar Syndrome and all their partner label announcements. We've got a smattering 20 00:01:48.359 --> 00:01:53.079 of some others. And on top of that, we got some redefining reasons 21 00:01:53.120 --> 00:02:00.319 to discuss physical media this week, as HBO Max has suddenly deleted I think 22 00:02:00.359 --> 00:02:04.359 it's six or eight titles or something like that off of their service which were 23 00:02:04.920 --> 00:02:09.159 HBO Max originals. So where else would they go? Any thoughts from you 24 00:02:09.280 --> 00:02:15.199 on they're deleting those, Well, there's all the hubbub going on about Batgirl 25 00:02:15.280 --> 00:02:19.000 being being canceled, and you know, you got to feel for all the 26 00:02:19.039 --> 00:02:23.319 people involved on production when something gets canceled so close to completion. But there's 27 00:02:23.360 --> 00:02:29.919 also been, you know, some controversy over the fact that Netflix is re 28 00:02:30.080 --> 00:02:37.000 editing episodes of Stranger Things, which I'm mildly concerned about. I haven't seen. 29 00:02:37.520 --> 00:02:38.919 I was waiting to watch the last season with my daughter, and now 30 00:02:38.960 --> 00:02:45.840 I'm not not even sure it's artistically viable, right, But you know, 31 00:02:45.840 --> 00:02:49.120 it goes to a lot of the conversations we have about the importance of physical 32 00:02:49.159 --> 00:02:58.520 media for archiving and preserving films and filmmakers because streaming services there's no guarantee they're 33 00:02:58.520 --> 00:03:04.919 gonna keep stuff on US licenses expired for their original content, they can shelve 34 00:03:04.960 --> 00:03:08.879 it for tax purposes, as we've seen with the merger or acquisition. I 35 00:03:08.879 --> 00:03:15.479 guess of what is a Discovery Plus right, kind of an ironic name for 36 00:03:15.520 --> 00:03:20.360 a company since they're hiding everything. Really odd to like put their hat on 37 00:03:20.439 --> 00:03:24.159 Discovery Plus. It seems like as well, it seems odd to put all 38 00:03:24.159 --> 00:03:28.639 of your bets behind that. I don't know. Yeah, the whole situation 39 00:03:29.080 --> 00:03:34.159 is is sad and uh, the the two films that were canceled with That 40 00:03:34.360 --> 00:03:38.400 Girl and Scoob. I not only you know, for the the stars that 41 00:03:38.479 --> 00:03:43.199 were you know, potentially going to have life changing roles, but I mean 42 00:03:43.280 --> 00:03:46.360 the the amount of crew that works on these films that are now not going 43 00:03:46.439 --> 00:03:51.719 to have exposure, that are not going to have the ability to have this 44 00:03:51.800 --> 00:03:53.479 on the resume, that aren't going to have, you know, something to 45 00:03:53.520 --> 00:03:55.759 show their kids. I know for a lot of people that work on it 46 00:03:55.759 --> 00:03:59.800 will be like Scoob, that's a that's a big deal. For them, 47 00:04:00.039 --> 00:04:02.199 and now that is just taken from them. They had no say in it. 48 00:04:02.439 --> 00:04:08.879 So the only things that are guaranteed are things that you physically hold in 49 00:04:08.879 --> 00:04:13.159 your hand. So it shows that this is all that much more important. 50 00:04:13.319 --> 00:04:17.560 And I hope that we see some sort of resurgence again. And we keep 51 00:04:17.560 --> 00:04:23.199 getting these random things that cause resurgences and I love that, but just never 52 00:04:23.199 --> 00:04:27.360 seems enough to get all of society behind it again. But I don't know 53 00:04:27.360 --> 00:04:31.240 that we'll ever get that sort of resurgence again. Yeah. Man, you 54 00:04:31.240 --> 00:04:33.759 know, well, it keeps getting hot. People are gonna have to stay 55 00:04:33.759 --> 00:04:38.920 inside and they need something to do. That is very, very true. 56 00:04:39.000 --> 00:04:42.120 So speaking of that, you got anything new that you want to show to 57 00:04:42.319 --> 00:04:46.680 everybody? See what you got picked up here recently? Oh? Yeah, 58 00:04:46.680 --> 00:04:51.000 I had a couple of things come in maybe some some of these are kind 59 00:04:51.000 --> 00:04:56.639 of older releases that I'm just kind of catching up with. Let's say one, 60 00:04:56.680 --> 00:05:00.959 I'll mention, No, there's some strooms that got announced today that we'll 61 00:05:01.000 --> 00:05:05.000 probably talk about. But I just picked up This is the Mill Creek release 62 00:05:05.079 --> 00:05:13.519 of the twelve pack of Randolph Scott films. I mainly got this because I 63 00:05:13.560 --> 00:05:16.079 think all seven of the films he made with the director of Bud Buddeker are 64 00:05:16.160 --> 00:05:27.439 on there. They all really deserve MH remastered high definition ven maybe even some 65 00:05:27.480 --> 00:05:30.639 four K releases. This isn't that, but it's the best we have for 66 00:05:30.720 --> 00:05:35.720 now. Still no high definition even Blu ray release of seven of them from 67 00:05:35.720 --> 00:05:41.199 now which is the best movie with Randall Scott and oh yeah, that's not 68 00:05:41.240 --> 00:05:46.160 in here. So not all of this, but well most of them. 69 00:05:46.480 --> 00:05:48.959 We'll see one I want to talk about later. I want to get into 70 00:05:49.000 --> 00:05:55.839 some announcements, but we'll see. I get I got a Walter Hill film, 71 00:05:56.199 --> 00:06:03.560 Crossroads Nice with Ralph Marcio. I'm pretty excited about that, you know, 72 00:06:03.680 --> 00:06:08.439 boxing This is an older release, came out a few years ago from 73 00:06:08.560 --> 00:06:14.199 Keno, but I always like mentioning this. I always teach at least one 74 00:06:14.199 --> 00:06:19.319 of her films in my general intro film appreciation class, and that's the Idol 75 00:06:19.360 --> 00:06:28.639 Lupino. She was a real pioneer as an actress and a director. I 76 00:06:28.639 --> 00:06:30.720 think at one point she and Dorothy Arsner were the only women and the director's 77 00:06:30.759 --> 00:06:36.800 guild. But she was also a pioneer in independent filmmaking. And here's a 78 00:06:36.800 --> 00:06:44.160 strange factoid. She was one of the innovators of product placement and movies as 79 00:06:44.199 --> 00:06:50.720 a way to raise money for for independent productions. Interesting that we have her 80 00:06:50.759 --> 00:06:57.639 to day for the you know, perfectly placed bottles of tostedos that we see 81 00:06:57.639 --> 00:07:01.600 today, among some other So I'm pretty excited about that set. It's got 82 00:07:01.600 --> 00:07:08.920 some great films at the Bigamist, the Hitchhiker, which is probably our best 83 00:07:08.959 --> 00:07:15.240 known film. Nice I got some in this week. These are in from 84 00:07:15.439 --> 00:07:19.720 for review from Imprint. They actually sent me these to share with the channel. 85 00:07:20.000 --> 00:07:28.360 The first one we got Barabbas and this is nineteen sixty one, and 86 00:07:28.680 --> 00:07:33.720 this is a pretty decent looking disc has got ten ADP high f presentation, 87 00:07:33.920 --> 00:07:39.439 an audio commentary by Barry Forshaw and Kim Newman from this year. And then 88 00:07:39.639 --> 00:07:43.920 Richard Fleischer looking back, an interview with the Hollywood director, and then film 89 00:07:44.000 --> 00:07:47.199 History and Sheldon Hall on Barrabas and that's from this year. So lots of 90 00:07:47.240 --> 00:07:53.439 good stuff on this one. And again Imprint just killing it with what they're 91 00:07:53.439 --> 00:07:58.000 putting out. I love Richard Fleischer. He is a director who deserves a 92 00:07:58.000 --> 00:08:03.759 lot more exposure. Partly I think people don't really pay attention to him, 93 00:08:03.839 --> 00:08:07.879 to his career because he did so many different genres of film, he's not 94 00:08:07.959 --> 00:08:11.839 really known right A particular one. One of my favorites is a sort of 95 00:08:13.079 --> 00:08:22.040 daytime more heist film called Violent Saturday with Lee Marvin in just full villain mode, 96 00:08:22.199 --> 00:08:26.240 just nasty, nice bank heist movie. But you know he did twenty 97 00:08:26.240 --> 00:08:31.200 thousand leagues under this scene. I mean, so many great movies. I 98 00:08:31.240 --> 00:08:35.840 haven't seen a Bravisa. I don't want to spoil the end, but it's 99 00:08:35.919 --> 00:08:41.960 sad. I've heard that. The next one is another director that I really 100 00:08:43.039 --> 00:08:46.480 like, and they seem to get really really heavy in the directors for the 101 00:08:46.519 --> 00:08:50.799 month of July. Ken Russell film of horror, and this one we got 102 00:08:50.840 --> 00:08:56.159 an audio look at that. Look at that audio commentary by Alexander Heller, 103 00:08:56.240 --> 00:09:01.679 Nicholas and Josh Nelson on this from this year. There's an interview with actress 104 00:09:01.759 --> 00:09:05.360 Teresa Russell from this year, which that's kind of a pretty big deal, 105 00:09:05.759 --> 00:09:11.039 and then an interview with Ginger Lynn Allen which is exciting, and then interview 106 00:09:11.080 --> 00:09:15.720 with the writer Deborah Dalton X rated at Tour Bruce Le Bruce on Ken Russell's 107 00:09:15.720 --> 00:09:20.159 Horror, Legitimate and Illegitimate Women in Ken Russell's Horror, a video essay by 108 00:09:20.240 --> 00:09:24.080 Kat Ellinger, which was the first thing that made me go, I gotta 109 00:09:24.120 --> 00:09:28.679 get this to see what Kat says on that. And this one for those 110 00:09:28.720 --> 00:09:31.759 that don't know, it's from nineteen ninety one, so it's a fairly modern 111 00:09:31.879 --> 00:09:35.200 Ken Russell compared to a lot of the stuff that people know. And I 112 00:09:35.240 --> 00:09:39.759 saw that years ago and can't wait to see that again. Yeah. I 113 00:09:39.759 --> 00:09:45.080 think I saw Late Night on Skin a Max when I was fourteen years old. 114 00:09:45.879 --> 00:09:50.679 Yeah, it wasn't quite well at the adolescent self, it was a 115 00:09:50.679 --> 00:09:54.480 little disappointed. It wasn't wasn't like that, yep, but I thought, 116 00:09:54.080 --> 00:09:58.600 but great, it really is a great film. Yeah, I'm so it's 117 00:09:58.639 --> 00:10:03.039 going to get rediscovered. And I mean, anytime you can get a Kim 118 00:10:03.120 --> 00:10:07.600 Russell film, you should at least see it at least ones. Yeah. 119 00:10:07.759 --> 00:10:15.080 Next one is Andy Garcia in Things to Do in Denver When You're Dead. 120 00:10:15.159 --> 00:10:20.039 This is a pretty unique movie. This one's from nineteen ninety five, not 121 00:10:20.200 --> 00:10:24.320 one that a lot of people nowadays have been talking about. So I'm again, 122 00:10:24.440 --> 00:10:26.399 just like Horror, I'm really glad this one's out there right for rediscovery. 123 00:10:28.000 --> 00:10:31.360 This one's got things to write in Denver when You're Dead, an interview 124 00:10:31.399 --> 00:10:35.600 with the screenwriter Scott Rosenberg, Things to direct in Denver when You're Dead, 125 00:10:35.639 --> 00:10:39.720 interview with the director Gary Fleeeder, and then things to Perform in Denver when 126 00:10:39.759 --> 00:10:43.960 You're Dead, an interview with actor Andy Garcia, a modern interview with Andy 127 00:10:43.960 --> 00:10:48.240 Garcia on this film, which that's pretty damn cool, and then also an 128 00:10:48.279 --> 00:10:52.720 interview with the production designer. That's kind of a lot to get for something 129 00:10:54.039 --> 00:10:58.639 like this that has not been getting a lot of attention lately. But the 130 00:10:58.679 --> 00:11:03.799 biggest one this month box set Oh Jim Sheridan films, four Irish films, 131 00:11:05.200 --> 00:11:07.759 My Left Foot, the Field, in the Name of the Father, and 132 00:11:07.840 --> 00:11:13.919 The Boxer. And obviously some of these are titles that people know very well, 133 00:11:13.840 --> 00:11:18.600 especially this one had got I think it's a shout select release in the 134 00:11:18.639 --> 00:11:22.039 Name of the Father, and then The Boxer also had a shout select release, 135 00:11:22.080 --> 00:11:26.120 I believe. But to get all these together, that's that's a really 136 00:11:26.120 --> 00:11:33.440 cool set for them and another director that you know, had a moment in 137 00:11:33.519 --> 00:11:39.240 the in the early mid nineties who really needs to be rediscovered. Yeah, 138 00:11:41.159 --> 00:11:45.000 so this is an excellent opportunity. I really love the Boxer. I'm a 139 00:11:45.000 --> 00:11:48.600 big fan of that film. The Boxer is great. Gosh, another one 140 00:11:48.639 --> 00:11:52.240 that's been years since I've seen. So Daniel day lewis just obviously amazing and 141 00:11:52.279 --> 00:11:58.000 at this point seems to be retired, but we'll see if he ever comes 142 00:11:58.039 --> 00:12:03.799 back. That would be swell. Let's go through who all is here before 143 00:12:03.840 --> 00:12:07.080 we start going through the announcements. What's going on? Startists? He says, 144 00:12:07.120 --> 00:12:11.120 welcome to Will.

Terry, what's going on? Flickering waves. 154 00:12:52.200 --> 00:12:56.360 Eric is here. Sartis just spent two hundred dollars on partner labels at Vinegarson 155 00:12:56.440 --> 00:13:01.120 Room. We'll talk about those a lot tonight. Christians Hobby Blog wants killer 156 00:13:01.120 --> 00:13:03.480 Condom on Blu Ray. I don't know that one. Oh yeah, you 157 00:13:03.519 --> 00:13:13.159 gotta check that out Trauma Licensed. So a current theme for Christians Hobby Blog 158 00:13:13.240 --> 00:13:16.759 is please Vinegar Syndrome. Since they have that, they get a lot of 159 00:13:16.759 --> 00:13:26.240 those trauma license releases. It's a great film based on a comic book and 160 00:13:26.279 --> 00:13:37.000 it's about mid nineties and it's it's about uh really, it's a it's a 161 00:13:37.240 --> 00:13:43.080 it's a pretty enlightened for its time, you know, the defense I guess 162 00:13:43.360 --> 00:13:52.600 of queer identities specifically in this story. And the film is about a moralizing 163 00:13:52.639 --> 00:14:00.320 group that's trying to stamp out sin using killer condoms. It's great, like 164 00:14:00.559 --> 00:14:07.000 a perfect pairing for that. What is Visual Vengeance release of La Age Jabber 165 00:14:07.039 --> 00:14:09.320 that's about to come out? Oh absolutely, I got my pre order at 166 00:14:09.320 --> 00:14:13.960 grind House for that one. Nice Hilton wanted to point out that Peacemaker is 167 00:14:15.000 --> 00:14:18.639 coming out on Blue Has that been confirmed for the US? Because I know 168 00:14:18.639 --> 00:14:22.440 it got confirmed for Canada. I've not heard for sure that it's coming to 169 00:14:22.440 --> 00:14:26.519 the US. Let me know if somebody else has seen that here. Yeah, 170 00:14:26.559 --> 00:14:28.799 I really do hope. Netflix says the same as Sandman. I don't 171 00:14:28.879 --> 00:14:33.960 understand some of these places, Like, obviously they want to get subscribers in 172 00:14:33.000 --> 00:14:37.000 to watch their stuff. But if you're not gonna get people that are collecting 173 00:14:37.080 --> 00:14:41.440 physical media, just release something and make some money. That's better than no 174 00:14:41.600 --> 00:14:46.159 dollars. Yeah, that's why I really like what Shutter does this, But 175 00:14:46.480 --> 00:14:50.720 you know, putting out several of there yeah titles, and at least that 176 00:14:50.759 --> 00:14:54.919 way they give themselves an exclusive they get it for like four or five months 177 00:14:54.960 --> 00:14:58.360 before it comes out on Blue. That's perfect. I'm totally fine with that. 178 00:14:58.399 --> 00:15:03.919 Sure. Uh. Lissa wanted to share she just watched Life Force last 179 00:15:03.960 --> 00:15:09.279 weekend, one of my favorite Toby Hooper directed movies. Cam's here. What's 180 00:15:09.279 --> 00:15:11.919 going on? Cam? John is probably working as he listens. What's up? 181 00:15:13.080 --> 00:15:16.519 John? Dude, McMahon, you are at the live stream? Nice? 182 00:15:16.559 --> 00:15:20.080 Happy you're here. Christian says, I watched One Eyed Jacks recently. 183 00:15:20.120 --> 00:15:24.919 It's a new favorite Western of mine. Uh. Jeff says the Hitchhiker, 184 00:15:24.960 --> 00:15:31.039 that's one of his favorite noirs and Dave's here, what's going on? Dave? 185 00:15:31.600 --> 00:15:35.240 Let's see, are we in the golden age of film collecting? I 186 00:15:35.320 --> 00:15:43.759 say, yes, uh, maybe maybe you did that interview a couple of 187 00:15:43.799 --> 00:15:50.600 weeks ago with was his name Adam from Adam from Window. I liked his 188 00:15:50.720 --> 00:15:54.960 answer to that question, like yes and no. Right, but the the 189 00:15:56.000 --> 00:16:03.720 margins are so difficult for eternal profit reducing high end physical media. Right. 190 00:16:03.960 --> 00:16:08.120 But it certainly is a rabid collecting community. And you know, if you're 191 00:16:08.120 --> 00:16:11.799 a film student, film fan, you definitely have more options than you've ever 192 00:16:11.799 --> 00:16:17.159 had before. So there's that, But the business is tough. Yeah. 193 00:16:17.440 --> 00:16:21.720 I do think that in the the like the golden age of the DVD era, 194 00:16:21.879 --> 00:16:23.600 I guess as a decent way to put that, I think we had 195 00:16:23.759 --> 00:16:30.240 more films being released on DVD. But I think we are in perhaps the 196 00:16:30.279 --> 00:16:36.639 golden age of treating everything with love and passion as much as humanly possible. 197 00:16:37.000 --> 00:16:41.000 Yeah, for the most part, don't. I don't miss the VHS days, 198 00:16:41.320 --> 00:16:45.159 even though I still feel nostalgia for the video store. I worked in 199 00:16:45.159 --> 00:16:48.399 a video store for four years when I was in college, and I liked 200 00:16:48.440 --> 00:16:52.480 the fact that I could look at the boxes for at the time, there 201 00:16:52.519 --> 00:17:00.480 are I think thirteen Witchcraft movies and I watched them all and I don't regret 202 00:17:00.480 --> 00:17:03.600 it, but I'll never do it again. But I liked that they were 203 00:17:03.600 --> 00:17:08.559 there, right, But VHS is a format I have no nostalgia for. 204 00:17:10.279 --> 00:17:15.119 Yeah, not really. Dave, what's going on? Dave got an Arrow 205 00:17:15.240 --> 00:17:18.839 order in Jallo Essentials, the Red Box and the Andromeda Strain. I love 206 00:17:18.880 --> 00:17:22.240 the Andromeda Strain. Robert Wise, Yeah, oh, look, t s 207 00:17:22.319 --> 00:17:26.440 artist does two? Neil's here? What's going on? Neil and Steve? 208 00:17:26.640 --> 00:17:30.720 Hey, Steve, Okay, I think we are ready for some announcements. 209 00:17:32.319 --> 00:17:37.480 This is a rough week because I was I was posting announcements on the fly. 210 00:17:37.640 --> 00:17:40.079 My sister was here on vacation, so I was spending a lot of 211 00:17:40.079 --> 00:17:42.559 time with her. I know that I missed BFI announcements this week, but 212 00:17:42.599 --> 00:17:48.519 I will get those up and we'll talk about those next week. So let's 213 00:17:48.680 --> 00:17:52.759 dive in. The First thing we got last Friday was Arrow. Arrow Video 214 00:17:52.839 --> 00:17:59.240 put out a pretty interesting month after taking a couple really light months. We 215 00:17:59.359 --> 00:18:03.400 are getting the count Yorga collection. This is coming on October twenty fifth, 216 00:18:03.920 --> 00:18:10.079 and this has let me see here. It's got Disc one, we got 217 00:18:10.079 --> 00:18:15.640 count Yorga Vampire, and then Disc two the Return of count Yorga. This 218 00:18:15.720 --> 00:18:21.440 is gonna have a blu ray for both movies, the original audio subtitles of 219 00:18:21.519 --> 00:18:26.400 course, and then there's a collector's book in this first the limited release that 220 00:18:26.400 --> 00:18:32.400 they always do, fold out double sided posters for both films featuring commissioned artwork 221 00:18:32.440 --> 00:18:38.279 by Heather Vaughan, twelve double sided postcard sized lobby cards reproduction press book for 222 00:18:38.440 --> 00:18:42.359 count Yorga Vampire, which that's a really cool piece to add, I think. 223 00:18:44.559 --> 00:18:48.319 Then we got brand new audio commentary by Tim Lucas, which is pretty 224 00:18:48.400 --> 00:18:52.720 damn exciting. Then a new appreciation of count Yorga by Heather Draine and Chris 225 00:18:52.720 --> 00:18:59.039 O'Neil, new interview with Frank Darabant in which the award winning filmmaker talks about 226 00:18:59.079 --> 00:19:03.720 his love for count Yorga Vampire, and then a new interview with actor Michael 227 00:19:03.000 --> 00:19:07.599 Murphy. And there's even more on that disc. There's some old legsy features 228 00:19:07.640 --> 00:19:11.640 coming on there. And then on disc two for the return, we get 229 00:19:11.640 --> 00:19:15.519 a new audio commentary by Stephen Bissett, the count and the Counterculture, a 230 00:19:15.559 --> 00:19:21.160 brand new interview with critic Maitland mcdonnaugh, Chamber of Music of Horror, a 231 00:19:21.160 --> 00:19:25.079 new interview with Dave Huckville about the scores for both films, and then again 232 00:19:25.319 --> 00:19:27.839 some old legacy features on there. What do you think about count Yorga? 233 00:19:29.799 --> 00:19:33.440 Wow? So when I first saw it, I was like, damn, 234 00:19:33.480 --> 00:19:37.720 because I've got the Twilight Time, the Blu Ray of count Yorga and the 235 00:19:37.079 --> 00:19:45.039 Shout release of Return. But I imagine these are going to be some refreshed 236 00:19:48.599 --> 00:19:52.680 and I'm really I'm pretty excited about. Like I like seeing interviews with Baytlan 237 00:19:52.759 --> 00:19:56.079 mcdonna. You know, she wrote one of the first really good books about 238 00:19:56.200 --> 00:20:02.240 Daria Argento, Broken Mirror's Broken Mind. Chris so Neil did a video essay 239 00:20:02.240 --> 00:20:07.839 for the I'm Dangerous Tonight Blu ray that that I contributed to. Uh, 240 00:20:07.640 --> 00:20:12.559 of course Tim Lucas, And yeah, there's a lot of good stuff in 241 00:20:12.599 --> 00:20:15.480 there. I think that's gonna be worth checking out. I might have to 242 00:20:15.640 --> 00:20:22.880 might have to finance that by selling my out of print Twilight Time. There's 243 00:20:22.920 --> 00:20:25.720 a lot of people still after those old Twilight Time days, that's for sure. 244 00:20:26.279 --> 00:20:30.440 Yeah, what's going on? Dead Sea Life? Glad You're here. 245 00:20:30.359 --> 00:20:34.039 Dude says he remembers seeing all those Witchcraft movies at the family video down the 246 00:20:34.039 --> 00:20:37.519 street. Wanted to run them all into a marathon, but never did. 247 00:20:37.079 --> 00:20:45.599 You saved yourself some pain, but it's doable. Spaghetti wants us to start 248 00:20:45.640 --> 00:20:49.079 over because he was a little late, and we're gonna do that right now. 249 00:20:49.160 --> 00:20:55.440 So welcome to reconnected. This is I'm just kidding, Let's get right 250 00:20:55.480 --> 00:20:59.680 back to this. What's going on? Spaghetti? Glad you're here, next 251 00:20:59.680 --> 00:21:03.720 one up from aerow. This was heavily rumored earlier this year, and I'm 252 00:21:03.799 --> 00:21:11.519 really glad it came to fruition because this might be my favorite Chronimberg nowadays. 253 00:21:11.359 --> 00:21:15.799 I think that other than I mean this is I think we talked about this 254 00:21:15.920 --> 00:21:18.519 either last week or the week before. It's really difficult to say that when 255 00:21:18.559 --> 00:21:22.400 he has a life changing film in The Fly. So I'm not even going 256 00:21:22.440 --> 00:21:26.519 to count The Fly. The Fly is a classic everybody. Yeah, that's 257 00:21:26.559 --> 00:21:29.200 like the most one of the most amazing films of all time. This, 258 00:21:29.480 --> 00:21:33.160 other than The Fly, is probably my favorite Chronimberg at this point. So 259 00:21:33.640 --> 00:21:38.680 in the UK only, they are putting out a four k uhd of videodrome 260 00:21:40.279 --> 00:21:44.400 once again, they are doing what they've done with some of their other releases 261 00:21:44.559 --> 00:21:49.039 and basically copying everything about that Blu Ray release that they did and just putting 262 00:21:49.039 --> 00:21:52.759 a four K disk in it. But also they are doing a version of 263 00:21:52.799 --> 00:22:00.559 this with the og poster artwork, and that is an aerosite exclusive. And 264 00:22:00.720 --> 00:22:04.400 as far as I remember, I don't think there are any new features on 265 00:22:04.440 --> 00:22:11.519 this at all. Yeah, I think everything I'm seeing is from the original. 266 00:22:11.759 --> 00:22:14.599 Now. One thing to point out, the original release of Video Drome 267 00:22:14.720 --> 00:22:22.200 it had the David Cronenberg early works. This does not. So you are 268 00:22:22.279 --> 00:22:26.759 losing quite a bit if you try to get rid of your old limited edition 269 00:22:26.039 --> 00:22:32.279 and then replace it with this. Now, they do have the David Cronenberg 270 00:22:32.359 --> 00:22:37.240 early works that they sell separately. But I don't know. This is a 271 00:22:37.240 --> 00:22:41.000 pretty incredible film and I really can't wait to see it in four K. 272 00:22:41.279 --> 00:22:45.359 Well till Lucas is talking over everything. Now, look at that, I 273 00:22:45.400 --> 00:22:49.680 guess that's got to be new, right, I mean, I don't think 274 00:22:49.799 --> 00:22:53.160 so. I think that was on the original. I'd have to look. 275 00:22:53.599 --> 00:22:56.519 Wow, I don't remember it being there. It maybe Bill Wilson, So 276 00:22:56.519 --> 00:23:03.400 I've looked at it. I remember watching though that that fear on film Roundtable 277 00:23:03.440 --> 00:23:08.400 from nineteen eighty two with Cronenberg and Carpenter and Landis and mc garrison and I 278 00:23:08.440 --> 00:23:15.960 remember John Landis no offense to John Landas he didn't care. It was real 279 00:23:15.039 --> 00:23:22.000 like extra on that shit, you know, any a minute and just watching 280 00:23:22.119 --> 00:23:26.960 Carpenter's eyes rolling in the back of his head getting annoyed, because it's almost 281 00:23:27.039 --> 00:23:33.160 worth watching that before any of the other features. It's a wonderful conversation. 282 00:23:33.440 --> 00:23:37.240 I definitely suggest people seek that out if you have not seen it. Yeah, 283 00:23:37.319 --> 00:23:41.720 really good. Uh, I'm a huge Cronenberg fan. I'd say he's 284 00:23:41.759 --> 00:23:45.279 probably I don't know. When people ask him of my favorite filmmaker, I 285 00:23:45.319 --> 00:23:49.799 have a different answer every day, but I'd probably say David Cronenberg more often 286 00:23:49.839 --> 00:23:55.799 than any other filmmaker. And like you, this is probably my first or 287 00:23:55.799 --> 00:24:00.880 second favorite film. And I like to think about it as a as a 288 00:24:00.920 --> 00:24:04.319 triple feature with Existence and Crimes of the Future, the new Crimes of the 289 00:24:04.319 --> 00:24:11.079 Future, not the original experimental film, with this film being kind of the 290 00:24:11.359 --> 00:24:19.240 the analog exploration of the media theory of Marshall mccluan, and then Existence getting 291 00:24:19.240 --> 00:24:27.200 into virtual reality and cybernetics and then finally Crimes of the Future, this sort 292 00:24:27.200 --> 00:24:37.759 of evolution, devolution of older man's perspective on these same things. I'm excited 293 00:24:37.799 --> 00:24:41.839 about this coming out so that I can do all three again. I need 294 00:24:41.880 --> 00:24:45.680 to revisit Crimes of the Future, because I got to be honest, I 295 00:24:45.720 --> 00:24:48.720 did not love it in the theater. It is A it's a it's a. 296 00:24:49.799 --> 00:24:52.039 I don't know. It seemed like there was a lot of meat left 297 00:24:52.079 --> 00:24:56.960 on the bone there that they could have done more with sort of an anti 298 00:24:57.000 --> 00:25:03.720 climactic ending for me. But yeah, I definitely see the trilogy idea there. 299 00:25:03.799 --> 00:25:07.279 And Man, excess Tends really needs more attention nowadays, really does Sure? 300 00:25:11.079 --> 00:25:12.960 Quiet Rob, what's going on? My friend? He is also excited 301 00:25:14.000 --> 00:25:18.920 for Video Drome. Antoine's also here What's going on? Video Store says, 302 00:25:18.960 --> 00:25:22.720 I want Canada to host the Olympics so Cronenberg can direct the opening ceremony. 303 00:25:22.759 --> 00:25:30.839 That would be amazing. Yeah. Next up from them, they are putting 304 00:25:30.920 --> 00:25:37.680 out something called Take Back the Night from twenty twenty one and I don't normally 305 00:25:37.839 --> 00:25:41.720 say something like this, but man, this movie does not look like one 306 00:25:41.759 --> 00:25:47.440 I would enjoy. Yeah, you know, I hadn't heard of this and 307 00:25:47.759 --> 00:25:52.160 I assumed, and it turned out rightly that this kind of fits into the 308 00:25:52.200 --> 00:25:57.240 sort of revitalized rape revenge genre. Although this scene I watched the trailer today 309 00:25:57.400 --> 00:26:03.920 and got pretty intrigued. But this genre movie, I don't know if enjoy 310 00:26:03.039 --> 00:26:07.519 is the right word anyway, you know, right, it's kind of an 311 00:26:07.599 --> 00:26:15.400 an experience, an experience that hopefully will lead to some some some positive insights 312 00:26:15.440 --> 00:26:23.240 and reactions. I actually found that this is straightening on to be so uh 313 00:26:23.599 --> 00:26:26.799 so, I think I'm gonna check it out this week or weekend and see 314 00:26:26.960 --> 00:26:30.119 see how it looks. But the package is really cool, you know, 315 00:26:32.519 --> 00:26:37.640 it's decent. I think it probably really jibs with the overall tone of the 316 00:26:37.640 --> 00:26:41.119 film very well. From what I saw from the trailer, it looks like 317 00:26:41.119 --> 00:26:44.079 that's going to fit right in. Uh this one. For those that have 318 00:26:44.240 --> 00:26:47.720 not read into this one, it says, finding yourself the victim of a 319 00:26:47.839 --> 00:26:52.720 violent monster attack, Jane launches a vigilante campaign to hunt the beast that tried 320 00:26:52.720 --> 00:26:56.720 to kill her, but our troubling history of drug use and mental illness bubbles 321 00:26:56.759 --> 00:27:00.359 to the surface, causing her family, community, and the author used to 322 00:27:00.480 --> 00:27:03.400 question her account. Alone in he fight Jane starts to doubt her own memory 323 00:27:03.440 --> 00:27:08.640 of the attack and to wonder if the monster exists at all. So this 324 00:27:08.920 --> 00:27:14.759 is fueled by formidable female talent both in front of and behind the camera, 325 00:27:15.480 --> 00:27:18.440 and Take Back the Night's a terrifying suspense thriller that's both an eye opening expose 326 00:27:18.599 --> 00:27:25.039 and a powerful rallying cry. This one has an audio commentary by Gia Elliott 327 00:27:25.039 --> 00:27:30.160 and Alexandra Heller Nicholas, author of Rape Revenge Films A critical study, and 328 00:27:30.319 --> 00:27:33.319 Alexandra Heller Nicholas has been everywhere lately, wonderful author. By the way, 329 00:27:33.880 --> 00:27:38.799 that's a great book. She's fantastic. Yeah, So I'm looking forward to 330 00:27:38.799 --> 00:27:44.119 this. And then Please Don't Say the word go ahead, I said, 331 00:27:44.160 --> 00:27:45.839 I was looking forward to this, and I was like, well, that's 332 00:27:45.880 --> 00:27:49.839 kind of a weird thing to say for this particular genre I'm really interested in 333 00:27:49.920 --> 00:27:55.920 seeing. Then after that we got Please Don't Say the Word Monster on national 334 00:27:55.920 --> 00:28:00.519 television. A visual essay by Emma Westwood. Another visual by film critics Cerice 335 00:28:00.519 --> 00:28:07.039 Howard, exploring the idea of safe spaces, sanctuary and vulnerability. And then 336 00:28:07.279 --> 00:28:14.200 what is a Body? Another visual essay by Justine Smith examining bodily autonomy and 337 00:28:14.480 --> 00:28:19.799 monsters are Real. Another visual essay by film critic BJ Colangelo or Sorry Colangelo 338 00:28:21.319 --> 00:28:26.319 looking at survivor, Unity, sexual violence and social media theatrical trailer and BJ 339 00:28:26.839 --> 00:28:30.720 and her wife They are wonderful. Just we're on one of the podcasts that 340 00:28:30.759 --> 00:28:34.240 I produce. Take a look at their work. They do some really really 341 00:28:34.240 --> 00:28:41.000 interesting stuff. They are just amazing critics and some really really good commentary out 342 00:28:41.000 --> 00:28:48.559 there on Film Video Store says I do wish labels reached out to more contributors. 343 00:28:48.559 --> 00:28:52.400 I think on more work by Alexandre Heller Nicholas than David Lynch. I 344 00:28:52.440 --> 00:28:56.559 gotta be honest, I see that there is really a small little club lately, 345 00:28:56.599 --> 00:29:00.559 and some of these boutiques on people contributed. But it's also hard to 346 00:29:00.599 --> 00:29:04.440 find good talent for stuff like this, willing to do it for how little 347 00:29:04.480 --> 00:29:08.960 they're able to pay. Yeah, well, it's hard hard to get exposure. 348 00:29:10.039 --> 00:29:15.440 Hopefully, hopefully support more people will get into the club. I was 349 00:29:15.480 --> 00:29:19.559 about to say, how's the commentary on something that just came out recently from 350 00:29:19.680 --> 00:29:26.039 Keno there will Yeah, Well, you know, I'm dangerous tonight Blu ray 351 00:29:26.079 --> 00:29:30.039 that came out last week it's been getting some some decent reviews. I mean, 352 00:29:30.079 --> 00:29:34.039 obviously that the focus should be on the film, but it really is 353 00:29:34.079 --> 00:29:38.359 packed with with with extras, as we talked about on the interview, and 354 00:29:38.440 --> 00:29:41.559 some of the reviews that have come out about the Blu Ray have been have 355 00:29:41.720 --> 00:29:47.720 been nice. And yeah, we'll see. I hope it does well. 356 00:29:48.000 --> 00:29:56.480 I hope that it leads to more of Toby's television work coming out and you 357 00:29:56.519 --> 00:30:02.200 know, see what happens. I agree. So that's Take Back the Night. 358 00:30:02.880 --> 00:30:06.319 And then next up they put out one that looks pretty damn intriguing to 359 00:30:06.359 --> 00:30:10.920 me. This is Two Witches from twenty twenty one. Expectant young mother Sarah 360 00:30:11.000 --> 00:30:14.920 is convinced she has been given the evil eye from a mysterious, blank eyed 361 00:30:15.000 --> 00:30:18.680 old hag while she is dining with their bullish and insensitive partner Simon. When 362 00:30:18.680 --> 00:30:22.519 the couple go to visit his new ag friends Dustin and Melissa, dark forces 363 00:30:22.599 --> 00:30:27.759 are unleashed after an ill advised attempt at consulting a Ouiji board to allay her 364 00:30:27.799 --> 00:30:33.480 fears. Meanwhile, tensions grow between grad school student Rachel and her new roommate 365 00:30:33.640 --> 00:30:37.559 Masha after a violent incident involving a man at a man that the strange and 366 00:30:37.599 --> 00:30:42.680 impulsive young woman has brought home. This is from a first time feature director 367 00:30:44.160 --> 00:30:48.440 who also shot, edited, and contributed to the soundtrack, which is pretty 368 00:30:48.640 --> 00:30:52.200 dang cool. This one's got a new audio commentary by the director, new 369 00:30:52.200 --> 00:30:56.640 audio commentary by the producer behind the movie, a two part behind the scenes 370 00:30:56.680 --> 00:31:02.119 featurette, and then some interviews the score, an interview with the composer, 371 00:31:02.799 --> 00:31:06.759 and some others like a Q and A at Grimfest twenty one. And then 372 00:31:06.759 --> 00:31:10.640 of course in the first pressing you got one of those books two Witches. 373 00:31:10.680 --> 00:31:14.400 Any thoughts on this one? First, I'm hearing of it, but I 374 00:31:14.400 --> 00:31:18.920 mean, I'm always excited to check out obvious passion projects like this, when 375 00:31:19.079 --> 00:31:26.279 when you know filmmakers put together something that's so personal, right, you know, 376 00:31:29.759 --> 00:31:33.079 I will say that at this day and age, everybody should know never 377 00:31:33.160 --> 00:31:40.160 consult a Luigi board for comfort. But I will forgive that trope, and 378 00:31:40.400 --> 00:31:45.359 definitely I'll give this a watch. I'm intrigued. Tropes are tropes for a 379 00:31:45.440 --> 00:31:53.359 reason. Then they put out a very interesting one. This is called Gothic 380 00:31:53.559 --> 00:32:00.119 Fantastico, featuring Lady Morgan's vengeance, the blanche Field Monster, the third and 381 00:32:00.359 --> 00:32:04.920 The Witch. This is going to have brand new two K restorations from the 382 00:32:04.960 --> 00:32:08.960 OCN for all four movies. These are all Blu rays of course, and 383 00:32:09.000 --> 00:32:14.640 then we got optional Italian and English front and end titles on a few of 384 00:32:14.680 --> 00:32:21.640 them. We got subtitles of course. New video introduction stage film by Italian 385 00:32:21.720 --> 00:32:27.839 film devote Mark Thompson Ashworth, eighty page booklet which is pretty dang cool for 386 00:32:27.880 --> 00:32:32.599 something like this, fulled out double sided poster. And then again audio commentaries 387 00:32:32.599 --> 00:32:37.519 and video essays by Kat Allinger, Alexandra Heller, Nicholas Erica Blanc, Paul 388 00:32:37.640 --> 00:32:42.640 Muller and Moore. There's all kinds of names on this because this is going 389 00:32:42.680 --> 00:32:49.319 to have four pretty stack discs for these films. Well, I'll tell you 390 00:32:49.720 --> 00:32:55.200 I'm most excited about The Witch. This film. This is one of the 391 00:32:55.240 --> 00:33:02.480 first films by Domiano Domiani, who is not as well known as he should 392 00:33:02.480 --> 00:33:07.640 be. Uh Blue under Round has put out a couple of his films pull 393 00:33:07.720 --> 00:33:15.319 Up for the general How to Kill a Judge. He's probably best known for 394 00:33:15.559 --> 00:33:22.400 films about the Italian mafia, his masterpiece Moglia Pubella and The Most Beautiful Wife, 395 00:33:22.440 --> 00:33:28.599 which was the first film with Muti. That's that's a fantastic film. 396 00:33:28.759 --> 00:33:32.000 And he's probably best known in America for directing the best Amityville movie in my 397 00:33:32.039 --> 00:33:37.400 opinion, Amityville two of the Possession. One of the last things he did, 398 00:33:37.400 --> 00:33:42.519 I'll actually hold up was an Italian television show about the mafia, La 399 00:33:42.640 --> 00:33:49.319 Povre and Octopus. He directed the entire first season of that show. Can 400 00:33:49.319 --> 00:33:53.559 You Tell I Love Domiano? Domiani were actually and I'm not familiar with the 401 00:33:53.559 --> 00:33:57.240 other three films, but I'm gonna I'm gonna check them all out because of 402 00:33:57.279 --> 00:34:06.640 The Witch, which is kind of an avant garde gender politics, exploration of 403 00:34:07.480 --> 00:34:14.440 terror intention for anybody wondering, I do think one or two of these is 404 00:34:14.480 --> 00:34:16.800 on to be right now for free to be able to stream, So if 405 00:34:16.800 --> 00:34:21.000 you want to check out one or two of them before putting down it's like 406 00:34:21.039 --> 00:34:25.320 a sixty or seventy dollars set or whatever. This is looking to me like 407 00:34:25.320 --> 00:34:29.920 one of the ones that's genuinely worth it because of the amount of work put 408 00:34:29.960 --> 00:34:34.000 into these, so much content, so much love and passion put into this, 409 00:34:34.480 --> 00:34:42.760 and it looks just like really interesting four pack of films. Then we 410 00:34:42.800 --> 00:34:46.400 started getting some others once again. You showed some Milk Creek titles earlier. 411 00:34:46.719 --> 00:34:51.079 This is one that mil Creek put out a couple of years ago, and 412 00:34:51.199 --> 00:34:57.679 Keino Lober on October eleventh is now releasing Blind Fury with Rutger Howard. Now 413 00:34:57.800 --> 00:35:00.559 stepping away from what they've been doing with a couple these other recent announcements. 414 00:35:00.840 --> 00:35:05.519 This one actually has a new audio commentary, which the other ones they were 415 00:35:05.559 --> 00:35:08.800 getting nothing new now. There's nothing new about a restoration or anything like that, 416 00:35:08.920 --> 00:35:13.760 so it's all gonna be the same except for that audio commentary, So 417 00:35:14.280 --> 00:35:17.159 there is If you're really into Rutger Howard, you might want this. The 418 00:35:17.199 --> 00:35:23.679 commentary is done by screenwriter Charles Robert Carner, moderated by filmmaker Douglas Hasdale and 419 00:35:24.519 --> 00:35:30.639 Blind Fury Rutger Howard Thoughts oh Man, don't forget Terry o'quinn's in it and 420 00:35:30.679 --> 00:35:36.679 Meg Foster and Randall Tech's cop This is a fun movie. Might be a 421 00:35:36.719 --> 00:35:38.800 good double feature with Hubbo with a shotgun, so you get kind of meg 422 00:35:38.880 --> 00:35:46.639 career Rutger Howard and late career Rucker Howard. Philp Noise did Dead Calm, 423 00:35:46.679 --> 00:35:53.239 which is a really good thriller. Yeah, I'm pretty interested in this one. 424 00:35:53.840 --> 00:35:59.760 Terry O'Quinn is great, always a really wonderful actor. Yeah, Blind 425 00:35:59.800 --> 00:36:02.239 Fear Fun sought a couple of years ago. It's it's worth the watch at 426 00:36:02.320 --> 00:36:07.039 least once. And this one most likely will be one of the very cheap 427 00:36:07.119 --> 00:36:09.559 Keynote titles, so this should be pretty easy to pick up even in a 428 00:36:09.599 --> 00:36:15.599 sale. Yeah, add on to get the free shipping. There you go. 429 00:36:15.199 --> 00:36:19.880 Uh Now, this one is a very timely one to talk about because 430 00:36:20.079 --> 00:36:23.760 these are going up for pre order tomorrow this Friday, August fifth, at 431 00:36:23.840 --> 00:36:30.679 ten a m Eastern nine am here in the Central Standard time zone, and 432 00:36:31.000 --> 00:36:37.400 I'm excited for the next air four four four four releases. First up, 433 00:36:37.400 --> 00:36:42.679 we got Centipede Horror. This is coming with slipcase limited to one thousand. 434 00:36:42.679 --> 00:36:45.639 There's a booklet, three stickers, some lobby cards, double sided poster, 435 00:36:45.800 --> 00:36:52.159 and then a Margaret Lee card and then there is also another slipcase limited to 436 00:36:52.199 --> 00:36:58.559 one thousand with all of the same items. Then their second title is Red 437 00:36:58.679 --> 00:37:04.599 Spell Spell's Red limited to one thousand on this slip and of course a second 438 00:37:04.679 --> 00:37:12.440 slip Red spell Spells Red. All right, Asian Wacky Horror will what are 439 00:37:12.480 --> 00:37:16.480 your thoughts on that. I'm a big fan of Centipede Horror, which I 440 00:37:16.519 --> 00:37:23.519 saw on a really terrible DVD release I think I got from Netflix when Netflix 441 00:37:23.599 --> 00:37:31.119 was mail order a long time ago. And it is like all the other 442 00:37:31.159 --> 00:37:36.000 films that are for four four four has put out so far. I guess 443 00:37:36.079 --> 00:37:44.039 the technical term is it's pretty fucked up. I haven't seen Red Spell Spells 444 00:37:44.119 --> 00:37:49.239 Red before, but if they're coming out together, then I'm willing to take 445 00:37:49.280 --> 00:37:55.920 the chance because some pet horror is it's something. These look really interesting to 446 00:37:57.000 --> 00:38:01.239 me. I've not seen either one of these before. I am kind of 447 00:38:01.519 --> 00:38:07.320 curious to see how people respond to the pricing. The fact that we get 448 00:38:07.800 --> 00:38:09.840 options is really cool. I think there are more people that will be able 449 00:38:09.840 --> 00:38:14.519 to get a copy, as long as we don't get people that buy both 450 00:38:14.559 --> 00:38:19.639 of them immediately or all four of them. Technically, I just you know, 451 00:38:19.719 --> 00:38:22.400 thirty six bucks for a Blu ray release. That is getting on the 452 00:38:22.440 --> 00:38:25.480 price of your side for a Blu Ray. But I get it. It's 453 00:38:25.519 --> 00:38:30.239 boutiques, and you know things have changed for some of these, and then 454 00:38:30.360 --> 00:38:32.480 a lot of people are going to point out stuff like vinegar Syndrome for a 455 00:38:32.519 --> 00:38:37.440 four K release is forty five fifty dollars, and then we get box sets 456 00:38:37.480 --> 00:38:40.320 going up to eight all that so I get it. Prices arising, it's 457 00:38:40.360 --> 00:38:49.760 tough, I'm probably going to do it. So this is going to have 458 00:38:49.920 --> 00:38:53.960 for special features on the first film, Centipede, who a two K restoration 459 00:38:54.119 --> 00:38:59.760 of the uncut film elements. Then there's an animal cool street cut, which 460 00:38:59.840 --> 00:39:02.199 I always love when companies do that for people that don't want to see it. 461 00:39:02.679 --> 00:39:05.920 And it's only going to be missing less than a minute of footage, 462 00:39:05.960 --> 00:39:10.719 so not too much predicting ultra violence, Hong Kong's Cat three rating. That's 463 00:39:10.760 --> 00:39:15.719 just a little featurette. And then spot the different Centipede horror censorship. I'm 464 00:39:15.760 --> 00:39:20.519 really curious about seeing that. And then they've got some newly translated English and 465 00:39:20.559 --> 00:39:25.679 Mandarin subtitles on Red Spell Spells Red. We're getting again a two K restoration 466 00:39:25.880 --> 00:39:30.119 that is uncut, an animal cruelty free cut. That one is going to 467 00:39:30.159 --> 00:39:34.079 be almost three minutes cut out of the film. And then how to make 468 00:39:34.119 --> 00:39:38.159 a successful Hong Kong Black Magic film. A little featurette there, and then 469 00:39:38.400 --> 00:39:47.880 again newly translated subs. They're doing a lot of stuff on these, Yeah, 470 00:39:49.039 --> 00:39:55.480 I always appreciate refreshed subtitle translations. I have feeling that the version of 471 00:39:55.480 --> 00:40:00.679 Centipeede Horror that I watched was not the most accurate translation, so I'm looking 472 00:40:00.719 --> 00:40:09.239 forward to an enhanced doing experience. I did a conversation on the other channel 473 00:40:09.320 --> 00:40:15.079 for Discovering Cinema with me and Flip and Frank Jang, who did a lot 474 00:40:15.199 --> 00:40:19.000 of the older Asian titles back in like the mid two thousands, and he's 475 00:40:19.039 --> 00:40:24.360 doing a lot of commentaries, especially for like Eureka lately, and there's so 476 00:40:24.480 --> 00:40:30.000 many things that he has done to retranslate because a lot of these subs they're 477 00:40:30.000 --> 00:40:34.519 still using his subtitles from like fifteen years ago, and it just was not 478 00:40:36.079 --> 00:40:39.480 was not done perfectly. So he's fixing some of those and I'm just glad 479 00:40:39.480 --> 00:40:45.800 that they're getting better releases nowadays. Yeah, Christian Tabby Blog wants to point 480 00:40:45.800 --> 00:40:52.280 out there the release of Robotrock Robo Tricks Can't Speak. Has a great essay 481 00:40:52.360 --> 00:40:55.840 on CAT three and then I Believe It's the Untold Story from Unearthed Films has 482 00:40:55.880 --> 00:41:00.280 a really nice doc on CAT three Films. Oh, I love the un 483 00:41:00.320 --> 00:41:05.280 Told Story of the movies. Is such a good movie. And then for 484 00:41:05.360 --> 00:41:09.239 this they are doing a VHS collaboration with lunch Meat, and those vhs will 485 00:41:09.239 --> 00:41:13.679 be up for grabs during the pre order. There's going to be fifty of 486 00:41:13.719 --> 00:41:16.679 them for Centipede Horror, fifty for Red Spell Spells Red, and fifty for 487 00:41:16.760 --> 00:41:23.199 Anatomia Extinction, which was their very first release. Now they also have some 488 00:41:23.360 --> 00:41:30.400 bundle options, So for eighty dollars, you can get one of the Centipede 489 00:41:30.400 --> 00:41:32.639 Blue Rays, one of the Red Spell Blue Rays, and it will have 490 00:41:32.880 --> 00:41:40.079 all four of the slip cases and that's eighty bucks. Or you can for 491 00:41:40.199 --> 00:41:45.079 ninety dollars have one of the Centipede Blue Rays, both of the limited slipcases 492 00:41:45.119 --> 00:41:50.800 for Centipede and the extras, the VHS for it and the shirt for it. 493 00:41:52.599 --> 00:41:57.679 Or for the Red Spell you can get one Blu Ray, both slipcases, 494 00:41:57.800 --> 00:42:04.199 the VHS and the shirt for ninety dollars, or the limited Centipede and 495 00:42:04.400 --> 00:42:08.320 Red Nico Bundle you can get Centipede and Scorpions.

Holy gosh, I think there's another one 502 00:42:42.719 --> 00:42:47.239 though there's another bundle? Oh is there? Yeah? I will have to 503 00:42:47.239 --> 00:42:51.400 look it up because I'm I must have men it. I think for one 504 00:42:51.440 --> 00:42:54.599 hundred and eighty you get everything that's right. It wouldn't let me upload that 505 00:42:54.639 --> 00:43:00.480 one. Yeah, let me let me share this picture so I don't know 506 00:43:00.519 --> 00:43:05.719 how I missed that one. Again. It's from having my sister here this 507 00:43:05.719 --> 00:43:07.119 week. That's what I'm gonna blame. I shouldn't have said anything. So 508 00:43:07.159 --> 00:43:14.440 I want to get one of those, and not that many. It's only 509 00:43:14.480 --> 00:43:17.199 limited to twenty. Dear gosh, all right, let me let me stop 510 00:43:17.239 --> 00:43:24.519 hearing the screen and we'll share that one for a second. Man, limited 511 00:43:24.559 --> 00:43:31.519 to twenty Shoot, what time does that go on? Sale? Ten am 512 00:43:31.559 --> 00:43:37.480 Eastern?

I don't have to pretend I'm getting 515 00:43:50.199 --> 00:43:58.639 an emergency phone call so i can jet out of work. I'm interviewing another 516 00:43:58.679 --> 00:44:01.559 label tomorrow and it will be over right as that goes on sale, So 517 00:44:01.599 --> 00:44:09.360 I'm gonna I'm gonna have to jet out of there quickly. All right. 518 00:44:09.400 --> 00:44:14.400 So that is air four four four four. Lots of cool stuff. I'm 519 00:44:14.519 --> 00:44:19.920 I'm curious to see what else we have on the horizon. Yeah, they 520 00:44:19.960 --> 00:44:23.519 they've done kind of a lot already, but also they've really been around since 521 00:44:23.599 --> 00:44:28.239 like early in the pandemic, and they've only put out a handful of titles 522 00:44:28.280 --> 00:44:31.320 now, so it shows that they're I mean, either there's been a lot 523 00:44:31.320 --> 00:44:35.840 of delays or they're they're putting a lot of time and energy into each one, 524 00:44:35.960 --> 00:44:39.400 and it looks like it's the latter, because they they are really delivering 525 00:44:39.440 --> 00:44:47.559 the good stuff. All right, you got something else? No, I 526 00:44:47.599 --> 00:44:53.440 was just gonna say, I I really I appreciate the boutique labels whose identity 527 00:44:53.519 --> 00:44:59.159 is kind of wrapped up around releasing one thing at a time. Yeah, 528 00:45:00.199 --> 00:45:02.599 very similar, although they've been around much longer and have a much larger catalog. 529 00:45:05.039 --> 00:45:07.760 But at the same time, I'm mindful of the labels to have much 530 00:45:07.840 --> 00:45:13.599 larger catalogs, like like Third Eye and of course fini Er Syndrome seven. 531 00:45:14.920 --> 00:45:19.760 And I like the fact that there are so many different identities for the different 532 00:45:21.159 --> 00:45:27.239 labels. It kind of makes it less transactional to me, like that they 533 00:45:27.320 --> 00:45:30.760 all have their own personalities. I mean, it is transactional, but it's 534 00:45:30.079 --> 00:45:38.440 it's less exploitive. You know, there's almost a personality there because they seem 535 00:45:38.480 --> 00:45:44.559 to be going down a very specific round. And I think this is a 536 00:45:44.760 --> 00:45:50.039 good example of how you know, you can work in a capital I don't 537 00:45:50.039 --> 00:45:52.880 want to get to esoteric, but how you can work in the capitalist system 538 00:45:52.920 --> 00:45:57.239 but still have kind of a an ethic about you, you know, where 539 00:45:57.039 --> 00:46:00.360 the profit isn't the only margin. You have to make profit to stay viable, 540 00:46:00.400 --> 00:46:06.360 obviously, but you're also really paying attention to quality and and interaction with 541 00:46:06.400 --> 00:46:08.920 your customer base and so on. And you know, it wouldn't it be 542 00:46:09.000 --> 00:46:15.960 nice if that's how it was. Speaking of esoteric, Jeff wants to know, 543 00:46:16.119 --> 00:46:21.280 does we'll get a lot of pushback or disapproval in your classes when you 544 00:46:21.320 --> 00:46:23.880 discuss some of these films. You know, that's a good question, And 545 00:46:27.079 --> 00:46:34.320 shockingly the answer is no, not really. I teach a lot of courses 546 00:46:34.360 --> 00:46:37.960 to non majors, so they're they're first and second year students who don't have 547 00:46:38.000 --> 00:46:40.920 a whole lot of background in film studies. And then I teach courses to 548 00:46:42.000 --> 00:46:45.280 upper level students, especially like my Cult Films course is more for upper level, 549 00:46:46.480 --> 00:46:52.679 and I do I do give a trigger warning, and in the sense 550 00:46:52.719 --> 00:46:54.480 that I say, like, look, some of these movies are going to 551 00:46:54.559 --> 00:47:00.639 feature material that can that can be upsetting. And I've shown them Cannibal Holocaust 552 00:47:00.679 --> 00:47:04.920 several times, and I frame it said, look, I'm not I'm not 553 00:47:05.039 --> 00:47:08.440 showing this because I want to upset anybody or shock anybody. I'm showing this 554 00:47:08.559 --> 00:47:14.920 because you know, this is a significant film and it deserves analysis. That's 555 00:47:14.960 --> 00:47:17.880 the argument that I'm making. I think it deserves analysis. You may disagree, 556 00:47:17.920 --> 00:47:22.280 and we can have that conversation. And I've had a couple of people, 557 00:47:22.400 --> 00:47:24.400 you know, I've been teaching seventeen years. I've had a couple of 558 00:47:24.400 --> 00:47:27.519 people who have said, you know what, I don't I don't really want 559 00:47:27.559 --> 00:47:32.119 to come this day, I don't want to. I've had two people opt 560 00:47:32.159 --> 00:47:37.559 out of seeing Cannibal Holocaust, which is totally fair. I think the only 561 00:47:37.599 --> 00:47:42.440 time anybody's ever walked out of the movie was actually Tromeo and Juliet. A 562 00:47:42.960 --> 00:47:45.320 guy got up and said and came over and we said, I'm sorry, 563 00:47:45.360 --> 00:47:49.440 I just can't take it. And I said, you can see that, 564 00:47:49.519 --> 00:47:52.559 you know, go ahead, you know, we're excused. But no. 565 00:47:52.719 --> 00:48:00.400 I think if you're fortunate enough to teach in a situation where you can really 566 00:48:00.440 --> 00:48:05.960 have a conversation with the students and let them be involved and give them background 567 00:48:05.960 --> 00:48:08.519 on the films, even when you're showing stuff that that can be really upsetting 568 00:48:08.519 --> 00:48:13.039 and shocking, they're prepared for it. They're watching it as a group, 569 00:48:15.480 --> 00:48:20.559 and it's you know. I of course, semester starts in two weeks, 570 00:48:20.559 --> 00:48:23.039 so I could get reported to the provosts like right away, you know. 571 00:48:24.679 --> 00:48:30.119 But but now so far, you know, one thing I can say, 572 00:48:30.199 --> 00:48:32.320 and I'll leave this as my legacy in the world. Anybody who comes to 573 00:48:32.360 --> 00:48:38.079 my school and majors and media studies is probably going to see Franken Hooker. 574 00:48:38.599 --> 00:48:42.679 They're probably going to see one of the films that we'll talk about when we 575 00:48:42.679 --> 00:48:46.400 get to The Vinegar Syndrome, Partner and several others. And I'm really proud 576 00:48:46.400 --> 00:48:51.920 of that because so many of these underground cult films have so much to say 577 00:48:52.920 --> 00:48:59.920 socially and and artistically that otherwise, you know, wouldn't wouldn't make the cut. 578 00:49:00.800 --> 00:49:06.440 So I'll throw out there as well that trigger warning in the context that's 579 00:49:06.480 --> 00:49:10.519 given before showing these That is the perfect reason to really dive into these physical 580 00:49:10.559 --> 00:49:16.440 releases because the commentaries, these essays that we've already mentioned tonight, these featurettes, 581 00:49:16.639 --> 00:49:24.239 they do this wonderful, literally almost film school level job of delivering context, 582 00:49:24.360 --> 00:49:30.599 of delivering an exploit, an explanation of what was happening during that era, 583 00:49:30.320 --> 00:49:34.719 what the director's vision was, or you know, so many things that 584 00:49:34.760 --> 00:49:38.159 can affect what an actual film is produced to be, whether that be something 585 00:49:38.199 --> 00:49:44.559 from the studio or an actor or whatever. There's so much that can happen 586 00:49:44.800 --> 00:49:50.679 on a film production that context can be genuinely important to not only your enjoyment 587 00:49:50.760 --> 00:49:53.719 of the film, but what it actually means. And you understanding, yeah, 588 00:49:53.960 --> 00:49:57.880 and you know, the gold standard want immediately thought of when you started 589 00:49:57.920 --> 00:50:01.159 saying that was Joe Bob Briggs commentary track and I Spit on Your Grave, 590 00:50:02.280 --> 00:50:07.159 which is a deeply unpleasant movie and should be to watch, you know, 591 00:50:07.239 --> 00:50:13.599 the but his commentary contextualizes in such a way that you really appreciate what what 592 00:50:13.639 --> 00:50:19.119 the film is. And so many others, like like many of the names 593 00:50:19.119 --> 00:50:22.719 that that you've mentioned tonight, who are kind of dominant in in the commentary 594 00:50:22.880 --> 00:50:31.119 world, do something really similar and and and not just analyzing but advocating for 595 00:50:31.199 --> 00:50:36.760 the for the films. I got a couple more now that we're talking about 596 00:50:36.760 --> 00:50:40.519 this that not really trying to get a degree. They're just there to take 597 00:50:40.559 --> 00:50:44.679 a class because they enjoy film. Oh yeah, yeah, I'll let them 598 00:50:44.679 --> 00:50:49.440 in if you want to if if if any student wants to be there, 599 00:50:49.519 --> 00:50:52.760 I want him there, you know, because so many people don't really want 600 00:50:52.800 --> 00:50:54.800 to, you know, they're taking it for a credit and whatever. And 601 00:50:55.119 --> 00:50:58.400 part of my job is to try to get people into it. But if 602 00:50:58.400 --> 00:51:02.960 somebody is already enthusiastic on video store wants to know, how do you screen 603 00:51:04.000 --> 00:51:06.679 the films? Is it in a cinema type theater or just wheel out an 604 00:51:06.679 --> 00:51:10.159 old VHS are twenty two and c R T t V well, I'm at 605 00:51:10.199 --> 00:51:13.960 the University of kind of on the Greensboro. We don't quite have the Chapel 606 00:51:14.039 --> 00:51:19.159 Hill budgets. We do still have VHS players, but we do have a 607 00:51:19.239 --> 00:51:25.400 projector with Blu Ray capability now in many of the rooms. There are some 608 00:51:25.519 --> 00:51:29.800 rooms that I teach him we have to wheel out. I got a sixty 609 00:51:29.880 --> 00:51:32.280 inch TV with a Blu Ray. We don't have any four K or anything 610 00:51:32.360 --> 00:51:37.400 like that. That'll that will never happen. I don't think we were going 611 00:51:38.480 --> 00:51:46.760 we can show VHS when necessarily we have streaming that we can do library streaming 612 00:51:46.800 --> 00:51:52.320 services. So there are a lot of different formats that we use to show 613 00:51:52.400 --> 00:51:54.519 things. But yeah, when I when I wheel it, when I wheel 614 00:51:54.559 --> 00:51:59.079 out the TV, it's always kind of funny because it feels so like eighties 615 00:51:59.239 --> 00:52:04.719 about to watch the Driver's add video or something. Substitute teachers here, time 616 00:52:04.760 --> 00:52:08.679 to watch something to get you all to shut up. Last one on this 617 00:52:08.719 --> 00:52:12.440 for now, Stan says, what's your favorite Toby Hooper movie and why is 618 00:52:12.480 --> 00:52:19.559 it? Spontaneous Combustion. Stan Geezy, the author of Smoldering embers on the 619 00:52:19.599 --> 00:52:28.440 set of Spontaneous Combustion. I think Spontaneous Combustion should be on the list of 620 00:52:28.480 --> 00:52:34.159 everyone's favorite Toby Hooper film films, and if they read Stan's book, it 621 00:52:34.280 --> 00:52:42.960 definitely won't leap up the standings. Back to air four four four, I 622 00:52:43.000 --> 00:52:45.000 want to point out what Brian says, so excited to get Red Spell and 623 00:52:45.079 --> 00:52:49.880 Centipede releases. Never thought this would happen. And that is the reason to 624 00:52:50.039 --> 00:52:53.480 keep supporting companies like this, because there are lots of films out there that 625 00:52:53.519 --> 00:52:59.000 there are fans of that are still thinking may never happen. But if we 626 00:52:59.079 --> 00:53:01.679 are able to keep some forwarding these companies, it just may be that film 627 00:53:01.719 --> 00:53:08.480 for you. Next up is will just a reminder that if you have not 628 00:53:08.639 --> 00:53:14.000 seen the video that we put up last week, please go watch our conversation 629 00:53:14.079 --> 00:53:17.760 about Toby Hooper. It is a really in depth look and a really fun 630 00:53:17.800 --> 00:53:25.039 conversation about everything from Vietnam to current politics to why if you ask who directed 631 00:53:25.559 --> 00:53:30.960 poultry guyst you are a dick. That's the truth. But you know, 632 00:53:31.280 --> 00:53:35.079 you know, we didn't have time to talk about everything. Somebody pointed out 633 00:53:35.079 --> 00:53:39.360 in the comments that we didn't talk about the fun House, and my friend 634 00:53:39.400 --> 00:53:43.039 Chris is going to kill me because I forgot to talk about Night Tares, 635 00:53:43.880 --> 00:53:49.199 which is one of our favorites to watch together, So we might have to 636 00:53:49.239 --> 00:53:53.280 do a part to at some point. Oh no, yeah, Funhouse was 637 00:53:53.320 --> 00:53:57.559 a glaring emission for sure. There's probably a lot more that could be said 638 00:53:57.559 --> 00:54:01.400 about Eating Alive. There's somebody out there. I mean, he just had 639 00:54:01.440 --> 00:54:08.760 such a varied career. Anyways, Keno announced that they are putting out a 640 00:54:09.719 --> 00:54:15.440 release of Assassination from nineteen sixty seven with Henry Silva. This is a new 641 00:54:15.480 --> 00:54:19.000 four K restoration only coming on Blu Ray. This will not be a four 642 00:54:19.079 --> 00:54:22.239 K disc, but still pretty cool. Nice you know, little crime film 643 00:54:22.239 --> 00:54:27.320 here by Emilio mira Aglia. I think I said that right, the same 644 00:54:27.360 --> 00:54:30.960 one that did the Night Evelyn came out of the Great and the Red Queen 645 00:54:30.039 --> 00:54:34.719 Killed seven times, both of those put out by Arrow and that little double 646 00:54:34.760 --> 00:54:37.639 pack box set got years ago. At this point, that had to have 647 00:54:37.679 --> 00:54:42.840 been like a gosh, probably six or seven year old release. Now I 648 00:54:42.920 --> 00:54:49.639 have the old No Shame DVD releases that come with the figurines. Oh wow, 649 00:54:50.599 --> 00:54:54.800 I love Amelia maragl Those and those two films Evelyn and the Red Queen 650 00:54:54.960 --> 00:55:00.960 are gorgeous. So I'm really looking for I've never seen assassination well Henry Silvia, 651 00:55:01.039 --> 00:55:05.880 so this is exciting. They've they've been doing a lot of work over 652 00:55:05.920 --> 00:55:10.880 at Keno. It seems like they slowed down a little bit here after after 653 00:55:10.920 --> 00:55:15.440 I'm Dangerous tonight and we got a little bit of a reprieve for a couple 654 00:55:15.400 --> 00:55:20.119 of weeks. But man, they're still just cranking out these announcements. So 655 00:55:20.119 --> 00:55:24.519 there's still lots more from Keno on the horizon. Next up some interesting ones 656 00:55:24.519 --> 00:55:28.679 that I know. We got some fans of on here, so even though 657 00:55:28.719 --> 00:55:30.800 I know nothing about them, I know you guys are excited. Some disco 658 00:55:30.840 --> 00:55:36.519 tech stuff. We're getting a release of Space Sheriff Gavon from nineteen eighty two, 659 00:55:36.639 --> 00:55:39.639 all episodes in HD. This is the first time ever released with English 660 00:55:39.719 --> 00:55:45.480 subs, and it will contain a reunion discussion with the lead actor Kenji Oba 661 00:55:45.800 --> 00:55:50.480 and director Osamu Kaneta. There's a photo gallery and then a historical essay by 662 00:55:50.559 --> 00:55:54.280 Mike Dent. Are you into any of these types of shows for back then? 663 00:55:55.320 --> 00:56:00.440 These are outside of my wheelhouse, but I'm interested and filling the gap 664 00:56:00.480 --> 00:56:07.199 there. You know. I do teach a course on the origins of anime 665 00:56:07.079 --> 00:56:12.639 but I'm not an expert, so it really is kind of an intro and 666 00:56:14.320 --> 00:56:19.159 a lot of these live action shows that kind of connect to the genre, 667 00:56:19.440 --> 00:56:25.039 right, I'm looking forward to checking out lots of kaiju releases from Discothech, 668 00:56:25.239 --> 00:56:30.199 lots of old like Tokusatsu. The next one they announced, speaking of Legend 669 00:56:30.280 --> 00:56:37.159 of Dinosaurs and monster birds, this is one of the last kill the whatever 670 00:56:37.280 --> 00:56:40.639 I don't I don't remember what it was called the episodes of Mystery Science Theater 671 00:56:40.760 --> 00:56:44.840 and they are not able to have that commentary. This is coming in twenty 672 00:56:44.880 --> 00:56:50.639 twenty two. A new HD transfer looks sillier than ever vintage Frontier Enterprises. 673 00:56:50.719 --> 00:56:54.559 Dub Is included new subtitles, which is really cool for something like this, 674 00:56:55.199 --> 00:57:05.000 and this is coming on Blu Ray twenty twenty two. Okay, Next is 675 00:57:05.960 --> 00:57:12.639 Keno is putting out The rain Maker. This is how Wallace is the rain 676 00:57:12.679 --> 00:57:17.519 Maker with Burt Lancaster and Catherine Hepburn. And there was a lot of discussion 677 00:57:17.760 --> 00:57:22.360 from this title. I don't know if you saw any of this commentary that 678 00:57:22.480 --> 00:57:27.760 came out. I think this was announced on Sunday. People are freaking out 679 00:57:27.920 --> 00:57:34.480 because this is being remastered in HD by paramount from a six K scan of 680 00:57:34.519 --> 00:57:39.800 the thirty five millimeter VistaVision original camera negative. So I wanted to see if 681 00:57:40.199 --> 00:57:44.840 everybody could get on the same page a little bit about what that means. 682 00:57:45.199 --> 00:57:49.760 So essentially, this is still only going to be a ten eighty P Blu 683 00:57:49.840 --> 00:57:53.719 ray disc, but they are doing it in a restoration that has done even 684 00:57:53.960 --> 00:58:00.280 higher than a four K restoration, and it is it has nothing to do 685 00:58:00.320 --> 00:58:04.360 with the six K disc or anything like that. It is about restoring it 686 00:58:04.639 --> 00:58:08.840 and archiving it at the highest possible quality. There are other films that have 687 00:58:08.840 --> 00:58:14.360 been restored in like eight K, ten K I got. I think there 688 00:58:14.400 --> 00:58:16.360 was even something like sixteen K on one of those a few years ago. 689 00:58:16.840 --> 00:58:22.800 And it doesn't have any effect on you necessarily. It's just on how people 690 00:58:22.880 --> 00:58:27.599 are getting it remastered. So don't think that from this there's gonna be a 691 00:58:27.639 --> 00:58:30.400 six K player or anything like that. You're never going to have a six 692 00:58:30.480 --> 00:58:35.199 K disc that you're buying. You're never going to have, you know, 693 00:58:35.320 --> 00:58:38.119 any type of physical media at home that you need to buy a new six 694 00:58:38.199 --> 00:58:42.880 K TV. For any thoughts or anything to add on that front, there 695 00:58:42.920 --> 00:58:50.119 will Yeah, well, this division only lasted about six or seven years. 696 00:58:50.400 --> 00:58:55.800 Yeah, before before the technology kind of outpaced in terms of the fine film 697 00:58:55.920 --> 00:59:02.719 ray, but it was kind of the progenitor of what we now noahs imax, 698 00:59:04.079 --> 00:59:08.159 And I imagine that this that this scan is is to kind of help 699 00:59:08.239 --> 00:59:15.719 make up for the fact that the film grain is a little less fine than 700 00:59:16.119 --> 00:59:22.400 than the processes that came out in the late fifties early sixties. That's that's 701 00:59:22.400 --> 00:59:25.280 my guess. I'm not an I'm no expert there, but it's a pretty 702 00:59:25.280 --> 00:59:30.239 good movie, say, and there were there were a handful of things that 703 00:59:30.280 --> 00:59:32.599 were done like that over the years. I mean, Technicolor is a big 704 00:59:32.639 --> 00:59:38.360 thing obviously, h Panavision was a big one when it came out that we've 705 00:59:38.360 --> 00:59:43.599 got the oh, gosh, what is that? Uh? Is it smile 706 00:59:43.760 --> 00:59:49.320 Vision that Warner Archive just put out that one recently? Gosh, what is 707 00:59:49.360 --> 00:59:52.400 it? There's the one that's like for a circular type screen. Do you 708 00:59:52.400 --> 00:59:58.400 remember the one I'm talking about? Uh? I cannot remember the actual title 709 00:59:58.440 --> 01:00:05.639 of it. But yeah, there were a handful of these methods that were 710 01:00:05.679 --> 01:00:10.480 used to make films and so to preserve them at the highest possible quality. 711 01:00:12.239 --> 01:00:14.960 It makes sense. There's nothing wrong with that. I mean, if we 712 01:00:15.000 --> 01:00:17.239 can there, we go. Thank you, Terry. I knew you'd come 713 01:00:17.280 --> 01:00:23.079 through Cinerama and Smilebox. Smilebox is the one I was thinking, Hey, 714 01:00:23.280 --> 01:00:29.199 my sister, she must have landed in Texas. Look at that. Glad 715 01:00:29.280 --> 01:00:34.719 she's safe. Yeah, so Cinerama and Smilebox, there are other Essentially, 716 01:00:34.719 --> 01:00:38.400 there are other formats out there that we are going to have to, you 717 01:00:38.400 --> 01:00:43.679 know, to restore them at the highest possible quality. It's going to be 718 01:00:43.679 --> 01:00:49.079 different, and that's okay, nothing wrong with that at all. I mean, 719 01:00:49.159 --> 01:00:52.159 Burt Lancaster and Captain Hepburn's gonna move some utes so they can afford to 720 01:00:52.159 --> 01:00:57.639 do a good restoration exactly. Spaghetti says, I want old Bert to pop 721 01:00:57.639 --> 01:01:00.639 out of the screen and shake my hand with that remaster. At the truth, 722 01:01:04.320 --> 01:01:07.760 Anthony looking forward to watching my six k digital files. I eat my 723 01:01:07.840 --> 01:01:13.400 rehydrated pizza Hut Pizza maybe someday in the future. And then I kind of 724 01:01:13.440 --> 01:01:15.920 brought this up for a second, but it looks like we have Chris to 725 01:01:15.960 --> 01:01:19.159 blame, he says. I started it on the cult site on Facebook. 726 01:01:19.920 --> 01:01:22.800 So yeah, there is no new anything coming. It's just a really great 727 01:01:22.880 --> 01:01:32.000 restoration of a film. Oh boy, speaking of Polisians, what's the phrase 728 01:01:32.039 --> 01:01:38.800 polishings and turns? Yeah, I'm super nostalgic for h two. Oh I 729 01:01:38.800 --> 01:01:44.960 don't love the others, but let's go through this. Shout Factory announced their 730 01:01:45.000 --> 01:01:51.960 October titles, the long rumored and finally confirmed Halloween four K. They're calling 731 01:01:52.000 --> 01:01:55.519 this a collection from nineteen ninety five to two thousand and two. Lots of 732 01:01:55.519 --> 01:02:00.159 information has come out on these on it through like reply on Twitter. So 733 01:02:00.320 --> 01:02:06.079 first off, this is not available to Canada. Usually, Shout Factory sells 734 01:02:06.159 --> 01:02:08.239 all their stuff in Canada as well. This one, they could not get 735 01:02:08.280 --> 01:02:14.960 licensing in Canada. They could not get licensing to sell these separately, so 736 01:02:15.000 --> 01:02:17.800 these will only be available in the box set. These are not going to 737 01:02:17.800 --> 01:02:23.159 come out as single releases at all unless they amend the contract later, which 738 01:02:23.280 --> 01:02:30.199 is really interesting. I have a feeling that they did that because they were 739 01:02:30.239 --> 01:02:34.800 probably not going to sell many of Halloween Resurrection. The diehard collectors would get 740 01:02:34.840 --> 01:02:37.440 one of all of them, but the others at least have a following. 741 01:02:38.000 --> 01:02:43.719 Resurrection is sort of behind on that front. Maybe. I mean Buster Rhymes 742 01:02:43.760 --> 01:02:50.320 fans would probably get into it absolutely, of course, if you order from 743 01:02:50.320 --> 01:02:53.039 Shout Factory, you'll get the box set and then they are doing the three 744 01:02:53.039 --> 01:02:57.800 different roll posters of these if you want them to match the first five you 745 01:02:57.880 --> 01:03:01.760 got last year. Extras are in progress and we'll be announced later. The 746 01:03:01.920 --> 01:03:07.760 four K for the Halloween six is going to have the theatrical and the producers 747 01:03:07.800 --> 01:03:14.920 cut on UHD, which is pretty crazy that we're getting the producer's cut in 748 01:03:15.000 --> 01:03:16.280 four K. I did not think they would be able to pull that off, 749 01:03:16.280 --> 01:03:20.960 but that's awesome. I'd be interested in seeing how that looks. You 750 01:03:21.000 --> 01:03:27.239 know, Chris and Michael Myers is in some ways of betrayal of John Carpenter's 751 01:03:27.320 --> 01:03:37.280 vision of Michael Myers having no you know, motivation or backstory and per se. 752 01:03:37.880 --> 01:03:44.559 But it's kind of interesting to think about, you know, Druidic rights 753 01:03:44.639 --> 01:03:50.239 and legends, and you know, Paul Rudd, that's kind of neat to 754 01:03:50.280 --> 01:03:52.280 see him in that context. But H two O is a pretty good movie. 755 01:03:52.280 --> 01:03:57.039 I mean, Steve Miner is a good filmmaker. He made Thirteenth two 756 01:03:57.079 --> 01:04:01.000 and three, several good films in his career. I thought hgot really refreshed 757 01:04:01.000 --> 01:04:06.679 the franchise, so that's I think that's worth seeing. For sure, Josh 758 01:04:06.679 --> 01:04:11.719 Hartnett coming straight out of the faculty and into H two oh, not changing 759 01:04:11.760 --> 01:04:16.159 wardrobe or hairstyle at all. Jamie Lee Curtis and Jamie Lee both in H 760 01:04:16.239 --> 01:04:20.159 two O, which is kind of a cool thing. Yeah again, I 761 01:04:20.159 --> 01:04:24.599 don't know why I'm so nostalgic. I love H two Oh. It is 762 01:04:24.880 --> 01:04:28.840 a wacky film. It is off the wall compared to the franchise, but 763 01:04:29.199 --> 01:04:35.480 it exists and it's it's fun. A lot here all leads to everybody talking 764 01:04:35.519 --> 01:04:41.679 about the art on that box. The box art leaves a lot to be 765 01:04:41.719 --> 01:04:45.559 desired, but it does. I mean, it's very much inspired by the 766 01:04:45.599 --> 01:04:48.519 films. The drawing of Michael Myers is from the film. There's so much 767 01:04:48.559 --> 01:04:54.639 that just I don't know. There's a lot here and I'm hoping that there 768 01:04:54.840 --> 01:04:58.000 it does say extras in progress. I'm hoping they're able to get a lot 769 01:04:58.360 --> 01:05:00.760 for this. That's new. I know we get confirmation on at least a 770 01:05:00.800 --> 01:05:05.400 new commentary coming because somebody announced that on Instagram or something like five months back, 771 01:05:05.440 --> 01:05:10.679 which is how we knew something was coming for these Well, if anybody 772 01:05:10.679 --> 01:05:15.519 at Shell Factories listening and wants a frame by frame analysis of the fight between 773 01:05:15.519 --> 01:05:21.440 Michael Myers and Busted Rhymes. I'm available. I want to hear all of 774 01:05:21.480 --> 01:05:30.320 the analysis with very analytical terms. This also pretty much confirms that the zombie 775 01:05:30.360 --> 01:05:34.719 films are not coming on four K. I believe the rights now for those 776 01:05:34.760 --> 01:05:41.039 two are with lions Gate. I think after everything that went down, so 777 01:05:41.199 --> 01:05:45.960 it seems like we are probably not going to get those and time will tell. 778 01:05:45.559 --> 01:05:47.559 I think if they were going to do it, it would probably be 779 01:05:47.639 --> 01:05:54.679 this fall, after Halloween ends or around Halloween ends, so time will tell. 780 01:05:56.039 --> 01:06:00.400 But the other exciting thing is coming to four K, which means back 781 01:06:00.440 --> 01:06:06.239 in print in the United States as the Collector's edition is the Return of the 782 01:06:06.280 --> 01:06:11.719 Living Dead. This is gonna come with one of their pin sets, and 783 01:06:12.000 --> 01:06:15.079 this is coming with a poster of course, and extras are in progress and 784 01:06:15.079 --> 01:06:19.039 we'll be announced later, just like Halloween set, which means again I hope 785 01:06:19.039 --> 01:06:24.679 they get some more. However, this is going to be the same as 786 01:06:24.719 --> 01:06:29.480 the first time where they are unable to get that one random music track that 787 01:06:29.480 --> 01:06:32.039 they couldn't put on their first release, So it is not going to be 788 01:06:32.239 --> 01:06:38.599 the one hundred percent perfect music rights. The only release still in the entire 789 01:06:38.639 --> 01:06:44.119 world on Blu ray is the second site Steel Book had everything intact. Everything 790 01:06:44.159 --> 01:06:49.360 else is missing at least one music track, which is crazy. Collect them 791 01:06:49.360 --> 01:06:54.800 all. It's great that it comes with a pen because then you can put 792 01:06:54.800 --> 01:06:58.119 it on your jacket and say, you think this is a fucking costume. 793 01:06:58.159 --> 01:07:01.599 This is the way of life. I only paid fifty seven dollars for these 794 01:07:01.639 --> 01:07:11.400 pins. Right, Oh man, weirdest possible announcement ever, I think now 795 01:07:11.519 --> 01:07:15.920 Factory is putting out Bad Santa Too on Blu Ray on October fourth. Now, 796 01:07:16.039 --> 01:07:21.639 the reason this is so odd this has a standalone four K release. 797 01:07:23.280 --> 01:07:27.960 It does. Yes, the original film doesn't even have a four K release, 798 01:07:28.320 --> 01:07:31.639 but this gets another Blu Ray release after the four K is out. 799 01:07:31.920 --> 01:07:35.239 Well, this is This is by the director of Mister Popper's Penguin, so 800 01:07:35.800 --> 01:07:45.280 that's obviously we want to see the visual design. Definitely surprised it did not 801 01:07:45.440 --> 01:07:50.079 come with a sign poster then, thanks Anthony. It says deadbeat Dance, 802 01:07:50.480 --> 01:07:55.559 Deadbeat Dance by the Damned? Is that missing song? I always forget the 803 01:07:55.599 --> 01:08:00.800 title of that, and it should be really obvious with that film. Next 804 01:08:00.880 --> 01:08:04.360 up one of their studio Ghibli films. They're putting out when Warney is there 805 01:08:04.400 --> 01:08:09.599 from twenty fourteen in a steal book. And then there's of course going to 806 01:08:09.599 --> 01:08:14.800 be a standard release as well. This is coming on October eleventh, same 807 01:08:14.840 --> 01:08:18.479 thing exclusive booklet, feature length storyboards, the making of some behind the scenes 808 01:08:18.520 --> 01:08:25.039 stuff like that. Gibli, you a Ghibli fan. Anytime I teach the 809 01:08:25.079 --> 01:08:30.640 anime class, I always show Grave of the Fireflies and I bring several boxes 810 01:08:30.680 --> 01:08:34.479 of tissues for students, and of course you know, play me az Aki 811 01:08:34.479 --> 01:08:40.199 films, and I like when Marni was there. I saw that several years 812 01:08:40.199 --> 01:08:45.800 ago, beautiful. I'll tell one studio Ghibli story, real book. I 813 01:08:45.800 --> 01:08:47.880 took my daughter to see who she was about seven at the time, to 814 01:08:47.880 --> 01:08:53.640 see Pompoco had been released in the theaters, and I'd never seen it before. 815 01:08:53.680 --> 01:08:57.199 I just knew the studio Ghibley, and I was on these magical raccoons 816 01:08:57.239 --> 01:09:01.000 and they were sitting on these like bouncy balls. Whe are those things? 817 01:09:01.000 --> 01:09:04.840 And then I realized there were the testicles, which is where the magic came 818 01:09:04.880 --> 01:09:09.359 from. And I looked around to see if the parents noticed, and everybody 819 01:09:09.399 --> 01:09:15.079 just played it cool while these raccoons stretched their testicles into ang gliders. And 820 01:09:15.239 --> 01:09:19.920 pulled magical dust out of them and stuff, and so far she seems okay, 821 01:09:20.000 --> 01:09:25.760 she's almost ten, hasn't mentioned it. I'm gonna have to show my 822 01:09:25.800 --> 01:09:30.680 seven year old those magical raccoon balls soon. No testicles in when Marnie was 823 01:09:30.720 --> 01:09:35.560 there that I can recome. That's a plus. Speaking of four K from 824 01:09:35.600 --> 01:09:41.079 Shout, they are also putting out Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure on four K. 825 01:09:42.000 --> 01:09:44.920 This is only going to have a four K disc. It will not 826 01:09:45.039 --> 01:09:47.119 have the Blu ray. They are saying that they're going to try to get 827 01:09:47.119 --> 01:09:51.760 some extras later. They were going to confirm those, as they do quite 828 01:09:51.800 --> 01:09:58.399 often, at a later date. Interesting sort of release that they're just putting 829 01:09:58.439 --> 01:10:03.520 this out. Yeah, I'm wondering if you know, you drop your forty 830 01:10:03.560 --> 01:10:06.319 bucks for it now and then next year they do a box set with about 831 01:10:06.359 --> 01:10:14.199 three films you know, well no, well know, yeah. I this 832 01:10:14.279 --> 01:10:18.039 is one I I hesitate to say this publicly because I don't know if I 833 01:10:18.039 --> 01:10:21.600 could stand by it, but this is one where the sequel may still be 834 01:10:21.680 --> 01:10:30.840 my favorite of the two. So I don't know how ye uh yeahs Bogus 835 01:10:30.920 --> 01:10:36.119 is maybe my favorite of the two. I think Carlin. Carlin was special 836 01:10:36.159 --> 01:10:43.560 man. I yeah, anyways, I could talk about Carlin for hours. 837 01:10:44.279 --> 01:10:48.039 Excellent adventure. This comes out October eleventh and four K coming from the shout 838 01:10:48.039 --> 01:10:53.800 Select line, but possibly the bigger deal. They've never released this film. 839 01:10:54.479 --> 01:10:59.520 We are getting the last detail in four K from Jack Nicholson. Obviously, 840 01:10:59.560 --> 01:11:02.319 this is the Ashby film. This is coming October twenty fifth to the shout 841 01:11:02.359 --> 01:11:08.279 Select line. This is kind of a very out of nowhere shout Select like 842 01:11:08.399 --> 01:11:12.359 classy title compared to what they've been putting out on shout Select lately. And 843 01:11:12.520 --> 01:11:15.600 damn it, I just got the indicator Blu Ray like a month ago. 844 01:11:16.199 --> 01:11:20.520 Got tired of waiting for the last detail. The big hal Ashby fan of 845 01:11:20.520 --> 01:11:29.399 course, harolda Mama being there, the Landlords, so many good films. 846 01:11:30.840 --> 01:11:34.079 Yeah, double dip, gotta do it. This is This is bound to 847 01:11:34.119 --> 01:11:38.159 look pretty incredible in four K. This is just one of those movies that's 848 01:11:38.199 --> 01:11:45.800 special. Jack Nicholson back then was on fire, absolutely incredible, incredible actor. 849 01:11:46.399 --> 01:11:49.840 Yeah, this is from nineteen seventy three, so it just the height 850 01:11:50.039 --> 01:11:55.319 possibly of everything Jack Nickson was doing back then. The last detail is great. 851 01:11:55.359 --> 01:11:59.079 Everybody should check this one. Out. I'm curious to see if they're 852 01:11:59.119 --> 01:12:01.760 able to get anything from the Indicator release, because they could license some of 853 01:12:01.800 --> 01:12:06.640 it. Yeah. Well, yeah, there's hardly anybody left to talk about 854 01:12:06.640 --> 01:12:12.239 the film. It's very true from cast and crew, so hope. So 855 01:12:13.119 --> 01:12:16.399 I doubt Nicholson would be able to say much coherent about it at this point. 856 01:12:17.159 --> 01:12:23.600 Yeah, this is another Ghibli film. We were getting Ocean Waves from 857 01:12:23.720 --> 01:12:28.000 nineteen ninety three. I don't know anything about this one. Have you seen 858 01:12:28.000 --> 01:12:31.640 this one? I'm with you on that one. I've you know, seen 859 01:12:31.680 --> 01:12:38.960 the icon and little Ghibli catalogs and websites, but I've not. I've not 860 01:12:39.039 --> 01:12:45.520 looked at it before. Just from reading the description, you know, I 861 01:12:45.680 --> 01:12:49.520 like, I like, I especially like animated films that have a bit of 862 01:12:49.560 --> 01:13:00.439 melancholy too, the trauma. So this looks like something that I'll we want 863 01:13:00.439 --> 01:13:03.760 to check out and enjoy. I missed this joke. I wanted to share 864 01:13:03.800 --> 01:13:09.479 this because video Store is hilarious. The last detail with extras to be confirmed 865 01:13:09.560 --> 01:13:15.760 later. The irony. Yes, they did not get any details. Nicely 866 01:13:15.880 --> 01:13:20.279 done, and then they are putting out in a steal book. On October 867 01:13:20.319 --> 01:13:27.279 eighteenth, a Silent voice from twenty sixteen. Yet again nothing on my end 868 01:13:27.319 --> 01:13:30.239 on this one. Yeah, I mean either. But now I should probably 869 01:13:30.279 --> 01:13:34.439 start planning my next anime course, and this will be a good excuse to 870 01:13:35.319 --> 01:13:42.199 use some school funds to do some research. I gotta admit this art probably 871 01:13:42.239 --> 01:13:46.159 gonna look really nice on a steel book. Yeah it does look and again 872 01:13:46.199 --> 01:13:51.840 the description looks good. Yeah, definitely does. But one that I'm genuinely 873 01:13:51.880 --> 01:13:57.199 excited about. Shot on the sheep movie Farmageddon from twenty nineteen. This is 874 01:13:57.199 --> 01:14:00.039 coming out on October eighteenth from Shout Factory. I think I'm gonna get this 875 01:14:00.079 --> 01:14:05.039 one and show my kids. I always love finding some of these old animated 876 01:14:06.479 --> 01:14:11.279 horror adjacent titles that we can share with them, So yeah, this will 877 01:14:11.279 --> 01:14:15.039 definitely be coming this year. Yeah. Anything I can do to steer my 878 01:14:15.119 --> 01:14:19.800 youngest away from like those sing movies and get a turns to the quality stuff, 879 01:14:20.199 --> 01:14:24.000 I'm happy to be a part of that. So I support farm Agavin 880 01:14:24.079 --> 01:14:31.119 as well. Amen to that. Then this is The Possessed from twenty twenty 881 01:14:31.119 --> 01:14:35.760 one. This is coming on October eighteenth, and I am blanking on who 882 01:14:35.800 --> 01:14:41.039 it was, but somebody I think it was in my discord was saying that 883 01:14:41.079 --> 01:14:44.960 they are or no. I apologize. It was a friend of mine that 884 01:14:45.279 --> 01:14:48.319 I know from Oklahoma that he's in some of the Facebook groups. He sent 885 01:14:48.399 --> 01:14:51.479 me a message saying that his buddy is the one that made this film. 886 01:14:51.520 --> 01:14:56.680 So congrats to him for getting this put out by Shout This is Again from 887 01:14:56.720 --> 01:15:00.880 twenty twenty one. Jacob Chandler is an ordinary man with an ext extraordinary gift. 888 01:15:00.000 --> 01:15:04.720 A true accidental exorcist, Jacob and his nephew Liam have forged a career 889 01:15:04.920 --> 01:15:10.279 clearing demons from the bodies of their clients. Lately, something has changed. 890 01:15:10.319 --> 01:15:14.479 As possessions are increasing. Jacob fights to keep those he loves safe, the 891 01:15:14.520 --> 01:15:18.600 burden weighing heavily on his shoulders. When he crosses paths with Liam's new girlfriend, 892 01:15:19.319 --> 01:15:24.239 Adalie Carlyle, he recognizes something in her dark, broken gaze. She 893 01:15:24.359 --> 01:15:28.359 too can see what lies beyond the world of the living. Jacob never expected 894 01:15:28.399 --> 01:15:32.119 to meet anyone else like himself, nor did he anticipate needing her help. 895 01:15:32.560 --> 01:15:38.279 And for all slipcover lovers, this is going to be one of those indie 896 01:15:38.319 --> 01:15:41.800 films that's not a collector's edition that will come with a slipcover on it. 897 01:15:42.239 --> 01:15:45.800 From Scream Factory so if you're trying to get all of those, this is 898 01:15:45.880 --> 01:15:51.640 one. I gotta admit. I'm a sucker for possession movies. I was 899 01:15:51.760 --> 01:15:55.640 just about to ask, if you're the same, I really enjoy them. 900 01:15:56.560 --> 01:15:59.800 What about I was gonna ask. I talked to my sister about this. 901 01:16:00.279 --> 01:16:02.159 Just I think it was last night, The Last Exorcism. Did you ever 902 01:16:02.199 --> 01:16:05.319 see that movie? Oh? Yeah, you know, that wasn't bad. 903 01:16:06.239 --> 01:16:12.000 I thought it was decent, and then at the very end I hated the 904 01:16:12.079 --> 01:16:15.279 last three minutes of that movie. Oh well, you know. Yeah, 905 01:16:15.319 --> 01:16:23.119 the genre kind of lends itself to disappointing endings, Ain't that the truth? 906 01:16:23.720 --> 01:16:27.520 Yeah? I think The Last Exorcism was fun, But I'm curious to see 907 01:16:27.840 --> 01:16:30.159 a nice modern take on a possession film. Yeah, I'll check that out. 908 01:16:30.680 --> 01:16:35.399 Yeah. Then, God, they're doing a lot of stuff in October 909 01:16:35.439 --> 01:16:39.640 from Shout Factory. The Deer King. This is from twenty twenty one. 910 01:16:40.319 --> 01:16:44.720 I know nothing about this. Following a brutal war, former soldier Van toils 911 01:16:44.720 --> 01:16:48.079 in a mine controlled by the ruling empire. One day, his solitary existence 912 01:16:48.159 --> 01:16:53.279 is up ended when a pack of wild dogs carrying a deadly and incurable disease 913 01:16:53.359 --> 01:16:57.800 attack leaving only Van and a young girl named Yuna as survivors. Finally free, 914 01:16:57.840 --> 01:17:00.880 the pair seek out a simple existence in the countryside, but are pursued 915 01:17:00.920 --> 01:17:06.119 by nefarious forces intent on protecting Una at all costs. Van must uncover the 916 01:17:06.119 --> 01:17:12.000 true cause of the plague ravaging the kingdom and its possible cure. Well, 917 01:17:12.000 --> 01:17:15.520 now this sounds like the exact plot of Nicholas Cage's Season of the Witch. 918 01:17:19.159 --> 01:17:25.840 Well, I have no value judgment on that. No, no, that 919 01:17:25.880 --> 01:17:32.399 could be interesting quite as bizarre as that as season of which one I hope 920 01:17:32.439 --> 01:17:42.000 not. But let's get to main event for everybody this week. Everybody has 921 01:17:42.039 --> 01:17:46.359 been talking about the Vinegar Syndrome and partner label titles. There is so much 922 01:17:46.399 --> 01:17:51.520 coming every single month, and this month does not disappoint. We have so 923 01:17:51.680 --> 01:17:58.079 much to go over here. First, up Forgotten Jolly Volume five, which 924 01:17:58.079 --> 01:18:01.119 includes a White Dress for Mariel I Believe It's How You Say It from nineteen 925 01:18:01.159 --> 01:18:05.880 seventy two, Tropic of Cancer also from seventy two, and nine Guests for 926 01:18:06.039 --> 01:18:14.359 a Crime from seventy seven. All three of these are region free. The 927 01:18:15.159 --> 01:18:19.439 all three films are getting newly restored in four K from the OCN and then 928 01:18:19.720 --> 01:18:26.520 some interviews, some audio essays. We got Rachel Nisbett on White Dress and 929 01:18:27.239 --> 01:18:31.439 actually she's on cancer and crime as well, and then some interviews with some 930 01:18:31.560 --> 01:18:36.600 actors. We got some interesting things. We don't have any commentaries, which 931 01:18:36.920 --> 01:18:44.039 had a few people point out, Yeah, now, the only one of 932 01:18:44.119 --> 01:18:50.159 this group I'm familiar with is a White Dress from Mariau, which was released 933 01:18:50.199 --> 01:18:59.640 under another title, Spirits of Death, and it's got Ivnan Rasimov in it, 934 01:18:59.720 --> 01:19:03.319 who I really like, from Dave Dada's Jungle Holocausts and a ton of 935 01:19:03.319 --> 01:19:09.239 stuff. Yeah, and that one's a real slow build. I don't mean, 936 01:19:09.319 --> 01:19:13.039 I mean I think anybody gets killed until like an hour in. But 937 01:19:13.119 --> 01:19:18.079 it's very atmospheric, stylish, you know, as the genre demands, of 938 01:19:18.119 --> 01:19:24.560 course. So I'm a subscriber, I'm gonna I'm I'm gonna see these no 939 01:19:24.600 --> 01:19:28.800 matter what. So how do you how do you feel about Jallo as a 940 01:19:28.800 --> 01:19:35.680 whole? Mm hmm, gosh, what a question. Well, you know, 941 01:19:35.840 --> 01:19:45.760 like like many fans of my generation, Argenta was the first entree into 942 01:19:48.279 --> 01:19:51.800 you know, like noir, it's not it's it only became a genre in 943 01:19:51.880 --> 01:20:00.039 retrospect right right in the Italian industry, like Hollywood kind of cannibalizing, and 944 01:20:00.199 --> 01:20:10.479 so the style got quickly internalized by so many filmmakers who you know, Jolly 945 01:20:10.880 --> 01:20:16.560 Like like any other genre, most of them are crap, but but there 946 01:20:16.560 --> 01:20:24.039 are also so many gems and sometimes you just have to wade through. Yeah, 947 01:20:24.720 --> 01:20:28.680 you know, that's that's how I feel about it. I don't mind. 948 01:20:28.920 --> 01:20:32.000 I don't mind wading through, which with the Forgotten Jolly series, you 949 01:20:32.039 --> 01:20:34.760 really have to some of them. Some of the titles in the series so 950 01:20:34.800 --> 01:20:40.920 far have not been great. I think we've had a couple of really good 951 01:20:40.960 --> 01:20:44.760 box sets, one that was pretty good and then one that was a little 952 01:20:44.840 --> 01:20:48.039 lesser. Uh, this one, I think I've seen Tropic of Cancer, 953 01:20:48.159 --> 01:20:51.800 but that may just be my memory messing with me. With y'all. O. 954 01:20:53.000 --> 01:20:57.800 My big thing is I am just a sucker for murder mysteries. Yeah, 955 01:20:58.000 --> 01:21:00.800 and it's at the basis of all of these, no matter what. 956 01:21:00.119 --> 01:21:05.279 And because of that, there's just always something intriguing there, and it's it's 957 01:21:05.399 --> 01:21:10.880 so much fun just to try to guess along or you know, see that 958 01:21:11.359 --> 01:21:15.439 they're playing this like a mystery. But they accidentally showed the killer eight minutes 959 01:21:15.439 --> 01:21:16.840 into the film, so you know who it is all along, but they're 960 01:21:16.880 --> 01:21:21.079 like, who is it? Or all the other random mistakes that happen in 961 01:21:21.119 --> 01:21:27.600 these films. It's so so interesting now to look back with an I from 962 01:21:27.840 --> 01:21:32.199 sixty years after and say, what were you doing? Yeah? Well, 963 01:21:32.239 --> 01:21:38.439 you know, I think I think you can compare fans of Jolly to fans 964 01:21:38.560 --> 01:21:45.159 of like true crime podcasts and true crime documentaries on Netflix, because there's a 965 01:21:45.279 --> 01:21:53.359 kind of familiarity with the forum that that kind of comforts Une and wells in. 966 01:21:53.479 --> 01:21:57.079 But then when anybody does something different to tweak that formula, like, 967 01:21:57.119 --> 01:22:02.439 oh that's cool, and then for whatever are raising because we're human beings are 968 01:22:02.760 --> 01:22:08.439 We're just attracted to stories about people being brutally murdered. That's that seems to 969 01:22:08.479 --> 01:22:14.800 be a primal feature of our I always love with Yallo that if you find 970 01:22:14.800 --> 01:22:17.920 somebody that really likes Yallo, they are able to talk about a film and 971 01:22:18.000 --> 01:22:24.079 a lot of the time it's that unique thing that they that that that specific 972 01:22:24.119 --> 01:22:28.520 film has that they grab onto. So like with The Forgotten Jolly, there's 973 01:22:28.760 --> 01:22:31.039 sister of Versula. So everybody's like, but that weapon, right, I 974 01:22:31.079 --> 01:22:34.680 mean everybody that they just want to talk about that weapon or you know with 975 01:22:34.760 --> 01:22:39.239 Fulci there's oh that one scene where the kid dies. That's kind of a 976 01:22:39.239 --> 01:22:42.520 big deal, right, and you just grab onto these one things and it 977 01:22:42.760 --> 01:22:46.439 really it lends to discussion, well, it lends to remembering the movie better 978 01:22:46.479 --> 01:22:49.760 than a lot of other films that could come across as kind of say me, 979 01:22:50.239 --> 01:22:54.399 so, yeah, Jolly is super great for that. You know, 980 01:22:54.560 --> 01:22:59.720 last year speak of a faulty and jalla Jolly film. Last year I decided 981 01:22:59.720 --> 01:23:05.159 to sh Don't Torture at Duckling and in my cult films class as an example 982 01:23:05.199 --> 01:23:10.479 of Jolly, the other one I should I should too Jollo Films deep red 983 01:23:10.600 --> 01:23:15.199 with the other by Argenta, And I thought I thought they were gonna hate 984 01:23:15.560 --> 01:23:19.479 Torture. They loved it. Uh. Look, they got so into it 985 01:23:20.319 --> 01:23:27.760 and really latched onto the kind of commentary about the Catholic Church and and uh 986 01:23:28.399 --> 01:23:30.479 and all of that. I was, I was really surprised. That's such 987 01:23:30.479 --> 01:23:36.600 a great movie. Uh. Next up in the oh and by the way, 988 01:23:36.600 --> 01:23:41.039 if you are, you are getting all of the Vinegar Syndrome titles this 989 01:23:41.159 --> 01:23:45.199 month. That was announced on the first they For some reason, this has 990 01:23:45.359 --> 01:23:47.960 not been in the description for the last couple of months, so it's been 991 01:23:47.960 --> 01:23:54.520 confusing some people. I think the last time they did it was in the 992 01:23:54.520 --> 01:24:00.960 the Halfway Sale titles, so July and August both did not have those descriptions 993 01:24:00.960 --> 01:24:03.800 in there. So, yeah, you are getting everything this month, except 994 01:24:03.840 --> 01:24:06.640 for the stuff that we're going to talk about at Summerfest, which came out 995 01:24:06.680 --> 01:24:11.800 of nowhere. Yes, we'll talk about that in a minute. Next up, 996 01:24:11.920 --> 01:24:15.920 we are getting a really really interesting double feature for me. We are 997 01:24:15.960 --> 01:24:19.840 getting Hot Snake from nineteen seventy four. This is the cover of the slip 998 01:24:19.880 --> 01:24:25.640 for this, but this is a double feature, and on the back guns 999 01:24:25.640 --> 01:24:29.039 and guts and I got to hide a little bit of that from nineteen seventy 1000 01:24:29.079 --> 01:24:38.119 six. These are two random Mexican westerns. Yeah. Well, if Fernando 1001 01:24:38.239 --> 01:24:45.439 Rojas made like one hundred movies between nineteen sixty nine and about two thousand, 1002 01:24:45.880 --> 01:24:55.439 mid two thousands, just cranking them out at like Jess Franco speed, Hot 1003 01:24:55.479 --> 01:25:03.000 Snake I think was one of his early films, six or seven. I 1004 01:25:03.039 --> 01:25:06.399 saw this a long time ago. I know I did. I swear to 1005 01:25:06.399 --> 01:25:11.560 God I saw it. I can tell you nothing about it except for the 1006 01:25:11.680 --> 01:25:17.119 trivia I just shared. I am actually really excited that they're branching out of 1007 01:25:17.119 --> 01:25:19.960 this. I know a lot of people have been asking about westerns from Vinegar 1008 01:25:19.960 --> 01:25:24.319 Syndrome for a long time. A lot of those people are asking about spaghetti 1009 01:25:24.359 --> 01:25:29.159 westerns. But I think this is even cooler and lends to the idea of 1010 01:25:29.239 --> 01:25:33.079 what Vinegar Syndrome does a little more for that preserving cinema that will likely not 1011 01:25:33.199 --> 01:25:39.680 be preserved elsewhere. So for something like this, we are getting new four 1012 01:25:39.760 --> 01:25:45.479 K restorations from the OCN on both films, and then on Guns, Guts 1013 01:25:45.199 --> 01:25:48.800 and Gosh what is the title, Guns and Guts, we are getting an 1014 01:25:48.840 --> 01:25:53.680 interview with Renee Cardona, the third on that one, and then of course 1015 01:25:53.720 --> 01:25:57.960 they got the reversible artwork on there. There is not a whole lot of 1016 01:25:58.000 --> 01:26:02.000 extras, but again it's a double feature. This looks pretty damn sweet cool. 1017 01:26:02.439 --> 01:26:08.920 I've just started to get familiar with Cardona stuff because set stuff out right, 1018 01:26:09.359 --> 01:26:14.840 and Vinegar Syndrome put out the Cardona Collection. Oh, they did the 1019 01:26:14.880 --> 01:26:18.239 Cardona Collections. Yeah, and it had been planned. I believe it's a 1020 01:26:18.279 --> 01:26:23.399 trilogy of box sets, and then the tragic thing happened. Well, first 1021 01:26:23.399 --> 01:26:26.159 of all, they got a lot of backlash because well, not a lot. 1022 01:26:26.479 --> 01:26:29.920 I think that there were a handful of very vocal people online that didn't 1023 01:26:30.000 --> 01:26:32.239 like the films, and they complained a whole lot about the Cardona collection. 1024 01:26:33.439 --> 01:26:39.439 But then as they were working on the second collection, one of the Cardonas 1025 01:26:39.439 --> 01:26:43.760 passed away, Like Brad Henderson was scheduling an interview for the following day on 1026 01:26:43.840 --> 01:26:46.039 the phone with him, and he passed away that night. Oh way, 1027 01:26:46.079 --> 01:26:50.600 I didn't know that. Wow. Oh that's too bad. So production on 1028 01:26:50.640 --> 01:26:55.960 those have kind of skidded into a halt publicly, at least, they haven't 1029 01:26:56.520 --> 01:26:59.119 said much on if they're going to continue to put those out. I imagine 1030 01:26:59.119 --> 01:27:00.319 they will. I mean, they pay for the rights and the respirations, 1031 01:27:00.359 --> 01:27:04.520 I'm sure. But on top of that, it was their their first magnetic 1032 01:27:04.560 --> 01:27:08.600 box, so they were planning on getting the other ones right next to it. 1033 01:27:10.399 --> 01:27:14.960 Well, here come, you know, I'm looking forward to guns and 1034 01:27:15.000 --> 01:27:17.840 guns. No. Yeah, I can see why somebody would not like the 1035 01:27:17.880 --> 01:27:24.680 films of Cardona, but I think they're kind of interesting to look at. 1036 01:27:25.279 --> 01:27:30.880 Yep, I get it. This is kind of a big one. We 1037 01:27:30.000 --> 01:27:35.560 are getting the incredible Melting Man from nineteen seventy seven in four K. This 1038 01:27:35.720 --> 01:27:40.000 is another one that was recent well not recently. It was also put out 1039 01:27:40.000 --> 01:27:44.039 on Blu ray from Scream Factory. It is now long out of Prance a 1040 01:27:44.079 --> 01:27:47.520 couple of years now. Really great looking slip cover. In my opinion on 1041 01:27:47.560 --> 01:27:53.760 this one lends itself to the title very very well incredible. Melting Man is 1042 01:27:54.920 --> 01:27:58.279 genuinely a fantastic movie. So this is one that I'm glad is getting a 1043 01:27:58.359 --> 01:28:02.640 nice upgrade. Have you seen the one I saw? I saw the Mystery 1044 01:28:02.680 --> 01:28:10.600 Science Theater version. It was season seven, the last season on Comedy Central, 1045 01:28:11.079 --> 01:28:15.520 the shortened season. But so I've always wanted to see the uncut version 1046 01:28:15.680 --> 01:28:18.479 and I never got a chance to look at the Shell Factory. So I'm 1047 01:28:18.520 --> 01:28:23.560 really excited about that. It's going to be gross, yeah, oh yeah, 1048 01:28:24.960 --> 01:28:27.920 because of course the Mister Science Theater, all the gross stuff is kind 1049 01:28:27.920 --> 01:28:32.560 of cut out. So I'm really I'm giddy. I feel like a little 1050 01:28:32.640 --> 01:28:39.319 kid about this one. This is a four K UHD and then there is 1051 01:28:39.359 --> 01:28:42.960 a region A locked Blu ray in the set as well. Of course we 1052 01:28:43.000 --> 01:28:46.039 have HDR on it newly scanned restored in four K from the OCN. We 1053 01:28:46.119 --> 01:28:49.840 got a commentary with the director, new interview with the director, new interview 1054 01:28:49.880 --> 01:28:55.920 with the script supervisor, and then some small archival featurettes in there. But 1055 01:28:56.159 --> 01:29:00.640 the cool thing is just genuinely a great movie. This is the one that 1056 01:29:00.680 --> 01:29:03.039 they were hinting at for a while of a four K release of a classic 1057 01:29:03.119 --> 01:29:08.600 drive in title. People were speculating on this one for a long time and 1058 01:29:08.640 --> 01:29:13.319 it it It really fits the bill for this and seems right up there with 1059 01:29:13.399 --> 01:29:16.640 some of the best releases from Vinegar Syndrome. Love this movie. I don't 1060 01:29:16.640 --> 01:29:19.920 know why, but I'm a big fan of a I hate using this word 1061 01:29:19.920 --> 01:29:26.119 because some people don't like it, but a big fan of goopy movies like 1062 01:29:26.520 --> 01:29:30.760 Body Melt that they put out is one of my not like top ten from 1063 01:29:30.840 --> 01:29:33.760 Vinegar Syndrome because they put out some really great stuff. But Body Melt is 1064 01:29:33.800 --> 01:29:39.600 fantastic. Stuff like Street Trash is amazing, of course, Yeah, some 1065 01:29:39.640 --> 01:29:43.199 of these goofy movies. That's like Day of the Dead. I really love 1066 01:29:43.279 --> 01:29:51.359 the ending of that because it just gets so gross. That's share that I 1067 01:29:51.520 --> 01:29:58.319 says this is the best release of August, which is interesting maybe, and 1068 01:29:58.800 --> 01:30:02.560 that is leading us to what is probably not the best release of August. 1069 01:30:03.159 --> 01:30:09.399 We are getting the birds too. Land's end from nineteen ninety four, and 1070 01:30:09.760 --> 01:30:14.359 some people very unhappy that this is getting any sort of release. But again, 1071 01:30:14.399 --> 01:30:17.960 as I say, everything deserves some sort of release. Jeff, damn 1072 01:30:18.000 --> 01:30:20.920 it. Goopy is definitely a genre. We just made it a genre. 1073 01:30:23.960 --> 01:30:28.199 This is I've never seen this one. It's directed by Rick Rosenthal. It's 1074 01:30:28.239 --> 01:30:31.720 supposed to be god awful, but it's probably really fun to laugh at. 1075 01:30:32.119 --> 01:30:35.520 Ted and Mary have just moved with their two young daughters to the sleepy coastal 1076 01:30:35.560 --> 01:30:41.159 town of gull Islands so that Ted can complete work on his thesis. Everything 1077 01:30:41.199 --> 01:30:45.239 couldn't seem more picturesque about their new seaside home, that is, except for 1078 01:30:45.279 --> 01:30:50.840 the increasing number of aggressively behaving birds. After surviving an unprovoked nighttime avian invasion, 1079 01:30:51.000 --> 01:30:56.039 Ted becomes determined to figure out the cause of their unusual behavior, an 1080 01:30:56.039 --> 01:31:00.800 investigation which leads him to uncover the sinister goings on in the nearby waters. 1081 01:31:00.439 --> 01:31:03.520 All the while the birds increase. They're now deadly attacks, moving up from 1082 01:31:03.560 --> 01:31:11.960 family pets to human victims. This is never released on disc previously. Many 1083 01:31:11.960 --> 01:31:15.039 of Your Syndrome brings this notorious sequel to Blu Ray, newly restored from the 1084 01:31:15.159 --> 01:31:21.520 thirty five interpositive and featuring comprehensive interviews with the cast and crew. We get 1085 01:31:21.880 --> 01:31:29.119 a fifty four minute extensive making of documentary called Don't Remake Hitchcock, featuring interviews 1086 01:31:29.119 --> 01:31:32.199 with the cast and crew, then a seventeen minute interview with the composer, 1087 01:31:32.760 --> 01:31:39.119 and a locations featurette with the production assistant Craig Edwards. Commentary track on top 1088 01:31:39.159 --> 01:31:44.600 of that with film historians Amandareas and I don't want to make fun of this, 1089 01:31:44.680 --> 01:31:47.039 but if this is a real name, Sam, I mean, how 1090 01:31:47.039 --> 01:31:51.359 do you have a name like Sam Pancake? I want to not jump into 1091 01:31:51.439 --> 01:32:00.319 something like commentary tracks. That's amazing. Stan wants to say it is night 1092 01:32:00.680 --> 01:32:08.840 unwatchable. I'd say stands probably right, but it's common, so I'm gonna 1093 01:32:08.920 --> 01:32:12.680 check it out. Dude, mcmahon'says, my heart sunk when I saw the 1094 01:32:12.760 --> 01:32:15.279 rumors about birds do was true? What a tremendous waste of time and talent. 1095 01:32:17.119 --> 01:32:20.600 Yikes, I've never seen the birds too? Is this one of your 1096 01:32:20.600 --> 01:32:28.840 favorites there? Will? I've not seen the birds too. I am glad 1097 01:32:29.119 --> 01:32:31.680 that you know. As I said before we were talking about I'm dangerous tonight, 1098 01:32:31.720 --> 01:32:42.479 I'm really glad that so many television films are getting released, because obviously 1099 01:32:42.560 --> 01:32:46.199 there's gonna be a lot of stuff that is lesser quality, just like everything 1100 01:32:46.239 --> 01:32:55.720 else. But if it opens the possibility for for some some work by directors 1101 01:32:55.760 --> 01:32:58.319 that we love, like to the Hooper, Less Crave, and you know 1102 01:32:58.359 --> 01:33:04.439 so many people who worked in in television. I have not seen The Birds 1103 01:33:04.479 --> 01:33:09.119 too. I had an opportunity to see it when it came out on cable. 1104 01:33:09.159 --> 01:33:11.560 I chose not to. That was a decision I made at the time. 1105 01:33:14.039 --> 01:33:18.159 Yeah, the televised terror set was was really good. I will not 1106 01:33:18.359 --> 01:33:23.359 fault Vinegar Syndrome for putting it out. They had the opportunity. They calculate 1107 01:33:23.399 --> 01:33:28.640 they can make a little profit out one, and if that that helps out 1108 01:33:28.680 --> 01:33:32.279 in future things, then I'm supported. I'm gonna check it out just because 1109 01:33:32.319 --> 01:33:35.800 I've never seen it, but I definitely take the warnings in mind, and 1110 01:33:35.880 --> 01:33:41.279 I'll have a backup film ready to go if I can't make it through. 1111 01:33:42.000 --> 01:33:48.079 Smart and Smart and Smart possibly the most exciting thing that came out of what. 1112 01:33:49.199 --> 01:33:54.560 Wow, that's a whole lot of spam. Let me delete that. 1113 01:33:54.680 --> 01:34:00.279 Sorry that Yeah, that was I think a representation of the Birds too. 1114 01:34:01.640 --> 01:34:06.279 That makes sense. This came out of nowhere. I don't think there was 1115 01:34:06.359 --> 01:34:12.560 any rumors or anything about this. We are getting what they are calling Summerfest 1116 01:34:12.760 --> 01:34:16.199 twenty twenty two. And some of their verbiage here is interesting. It says 1117 01:34:16.479 --> 01:34:21.880 this will be a film preservation sales event from August nineteenth through August twenty first, 1118 01:34:23.279 --> 01:34:27.520 a select group of titles will be fifty percent off. There will be 1119 01:34:27.600 --> 01:34:32.199 one new VSA, two new Pikorama titles, two catalog slipcovers, and new 1120 01:34:32.239 --> 01:34:36.479 merch And these are all things that if you're a sub you're gonna have to 1121 01:34:36.479 --> 01:34:41.600 buy separately. Those are not going to be included in your subscription at all. 1122 01:34:43.199 --> 01:34:48.880 But the whole film preservation focused sales event is an interesting take on that. 1123 01:34:50.560 --> 01:34:54.600 Yeah, and the wording is a little vague because one it says a 1124 01:34:54.640 --> 01:34:59.560 select group of titles. Does that mean titles that have already been released or 1125 01:34:59.640 --> 01:35:04.279 is this new stuff that's being announced that they have been working on. It's 1126 01:35:04.359 --> 01:35:11.479 unclear. Even more odd is I didn't copy over their verbiage directly, but 1127 01:35:11.560 --> 01:35:17.319 it did say something along the lines of from our archives specifically, which means, 1128 01:35:17.840 --> 01:35:19.880 I mean, first of all, for those that don't know, Vinegar 1129 01:35:19.920 --> 01:35:26.199 Syndrome has literally one of the largest archives in the entire US. They have 1130 01:35:26.800 --> 01:35:30.680 a ton of titles, them, AGFA, a handful of others. They 1131 01:35:30.680 --> 01:35:33.640 are up there with some of the biggest and they have a lot of stuff 1132 01:35:33.680 --> 01:35:38.359 in their archive that they've not released, And just the way they were did 1133 01:35:38.439 --> 01:35:41.279 that, it made it sound like there was going to be some stuff that 1134 01:35:41.279 --> 01:35:45.199 they have either not released previously, or titles that are not going to be 1135 01:35:45.279 --> 01:35:50.680 Vinegar Syndrome titles or something. So I am very curious to see what leads 1136 01:35:50.680 --> 01:35:58.279 from this. That's my that's my initial interpretation too. So hey, they're 1137 01:35:58.319 --> 01:36:01.600 they're doing their job right right it. They're making us curious and racking our 1138 01:36:01.640 --> 01:36:03.840 brains about it, and then when it comes out, we'll be like, 1139 01:36:03.880 --> 01:36:10.079 Okay, I'm doing it. By the way, the Pea Karamas that they're 1140 01:36:10.079 --> 01:36:13.840 putting out supposedly one of them is four K again, so that I think 1141 01:36:13.880 --> 01:36:17.079 that'll be the third or fourth Pea Karama title in four K, which is 1142 01:36:17.880 --> 01:36:26.159 crazy, absolutely crazy. I'm so glad they're doing that though. Yeah. 1143 01:36:26.560 --> 01:36:31.279 Now we get into where a lot of people get most excited nowadays, and 1144 01:36:31.319 --> 01:36:39.720 that is all of the partner labels Video Store wanted to say currently being preserved, 1145 01:36:40.279 --> 01:36:43.479 which is what they said about their archive. It implies it is yet 1146 01:36:43.560 --> 01:36:47.279 unreleased, which is exactly what I first thought, so we shall see. 1147 01:36:48.760 --> 01:36:53.560 I also wanted to point out Christians Hobby Block says we need a remaster slip 1148 01:36:53.600 --> 01:36:56.760 cover of Pale Blood, Malabimba and Nine Lives of a Wet Pussy. I 1149 01:36:56.800 --> 01:36:59.760 don't know if that's an inside joke, but just to in case it's not. 1150 01:37:00.520 --> 01:37:05.520 They have said they will not re reallyse slipcovers for anything, So Pale 1151 01:37:05.520 --> 01:37:09.840 Blood, Malabimba in Nine Lives if they I believe all three are sold out, 1152 01:37:10.359 --> 01:37:14.479 those are those are gone for good? Sadly? Yeah, all good 1153 01:37:14.520 --> 01:37:17.039 titles. I'm a huge fan of Pale Blood. I was gonna say Pale 1154 01:37:17.039 --> 01:37:21.920 Blood is for me, by far the best there. Malabimba's actually surprisingly great 1155 01:37:21.960 --> 01:37:27.039 too, But Pale Blood is a very unique film, and I really like 1156 01:37:27.479 --> 01:37:30.600 I hate to rub salt in the wound here, but I really like the 1157 01:37:30.600 --> 01:37:33.039 slipcover They done that too. It looks really nice in the head. Yeah 1158 01:37:33.880 --> 01:37:42.239 too. This first one after Blue Dirty Paradise from Altered Innocence. This is 1159 01:37:42.279 --> 01:37:45.399 from twenty twenty one. This is the front of the slip, and here 1160 01:37:45.640 --> 01:37:51.840 is the backside one of the more artistic looking slips from Altered Innocence. Have 1161 01:37:51.880 --> 01:37:56.399 you have you dabbled into any of the Altered Innocence titles? You into them 1162 01:37:56.399 --> 01:38:03.039 at all? Oh? Yeah? Several? Pull up a couple of their 1163 01:38:03.119 --> 01:38:08.960 titles. I got work computer, but vinegar syndrome they block on my work 1164 01:38:09.000 --> 01:38:15.439 computer side. Lapt up. Yeah, I just actually ordered the jack be 1165 01:38:15.640 --> 01:38:23.039 Nimble nice. I really like Pals. I like Ari Bato, Death of 1166 01:38:23.199 --> 01:38:29.079 Nintendo Wild Tigers. I know it's pretty good too. So, yeah, 1167 01:38:29.479 --> 01:38:32.000 several of their releases I've enjoyed. I think Knife plus Heart is still my 1168 01:38:32.039 --> 01:38:36.199 favorite from them, and then Adoration is a just a beautiful movie overall. 1169 01:38:36.960 --> 01:38:42.359 Yeah, yeah, what's going on? All that is? Man happier here? 1170 01:38:42.399 --> 01:38:48.479 Brian Christian's hobby blocks is the commentary for Nine Lives is awesome? Degan, 1171 01:38:48.600 --> 01:38:54.239 right, I believe so she's on I think she's on a couple of 1172 01:38:54.239 --> 01:38:57.840 the adult titles. She says so much stuff. Well, that's one that's 1173 01:38:57.840 --> 01:39:00.359 one of those like we were talking about before, where they coming to track 1174 01:39:00.560 --> 01:39:10.199 really contextualizes the film and applicate for it because otherwise, Yeah, I agree 1175 01:39:10.199 --> 01:39:15.079 there. This one seems really interesting for Altered Innocence, just for the first 1176 01:39:15.079 --> 01:39:18.159 couple of sentences here, it says, in a faraway future, on a 1177 01:39:18.199 --> 01:39:24.680 wild and untamed, female inhabited planet called after Blue, a lonely teenager named 1178 01:39:24.760 --> 01:39:30.119 Roxy unknowingly releases a mystical, dangerous and sensual assassin from her prison. I 1179 01:39:30.119 --> 01:39:34.039 mean that alone, that's a kind of a wild premise already. This is 1180 01:39:34.079 --> 01:39:40.399 directed by Bertrand Mandico, which has gotten a lot of releases seemingly this year 1181 01:39:40.439 --> 01:39:45.920 with the Apocalypse after Set coming from Monto Micabro and then Altered Innocence. Same 1182 01:39:45.960 --> 01:39:51.880 thing Ragnar says could be wrong, But isn't Altered Innocence a gay and lesbian 1183 01:39:51.960 --> 01:39:57.079 inspired films? They I believe what they've said is is it like caters towards 1184 01:39:57.079 --> 01:40:01.560 the queer community at least? So there's a lot there for sure. This 1185 01:40:01.640 --> 01:40:04.920 one, like I said from twenty twenty one, it's a region a locked 1186 01:40:04.920 --> 01:40:10.159 blu ray. We've got unseen footage by the director. There's a short film 1187 01:40:10.199 --> 01:40:13.600 by the director on here, and then a twenty page booklet. Again, 1188 01:40:13.960 --> 01:40:16.640 so glad that a lot of these partner labels are suddenly doing more booklets because 1189 01:40:16.680 --> 01:40:21.720 they help so much to contextualize what you can't do on some of these with 1190 01:40:23.159 --> 01:40:29.560 featurettes. Yeah, it's nice timing too, with the sort of resurrection of 1191 01:40:29.640 --> 01:40:35.439 Kate Bush thanks to Stranger Things. I have to assume that this is inspired 1192 01:40:35.439 --> 01:40:41.199 by the real Kate Bush. The character the murderer character is named Kate Bush 1193 01:40:41.239 --> 01:40:46.439 in this film described as lesbian al topo in space. Yeah, that's worth 1194 01:40:46.439 --> 01:40:51.039 watching. I'll check that out immediately, worth watching. Yeah, this is 1195 01:40:51.239 --> 01:40:57.720 stunning thirty five millimeter in camera, practical effects, other worldly set pieces, 1196 01:40:57.760 --> 01:41:01.039 and a dazzling score. So yeah, there is a lot on the bone 1197 01:41:01.039 --> 01:41:09.039 here for this one. For me, this seems very very interesting. Next 1198 01:41:09.119 --> 01:41:14.000 up is one that is brand new to the list of partner labels. This 1199 01:41:14.319 --> 01:41:18.720 is a title called The corn Shucker, and it's spelled differently as you'll see 1200 01:41:18.720 --> 01:41:25.159 there. This is the backside of the slip. This is from nineteen ninety 1201 01:41:25.159 --> 01:41:29.640 seven and is only sixty three minutes long. From the new partner label, 1202 01:41:29.880 --> 01:41:34.600 VHS hit Fest. Supposedly, I believe they used to be called VHS shit 1203 01:41:34.680 --> 01:41:40.479 Fest. Yeah, that's how I read it, and I think that was 1204 01:41:40.479 --> 01:41:45.159 on purpose. VHS has been uncovering and releasing movies on video for over a 1205 01:41:45.199 --> 01:41:49.680 decade across DVD and VHS. Now they are moving on to Blu Ray with 1206 01:41:49.720 --> 01:41:55.119 the same goal to showcase the most unique, crazy and obscure movies that they 1207 01:41:55.119 --> 01:42:00.039 have discovered through years of collecting vhs, allowing even more people to actually be 1208 01:42:00.079 --> 01:42:04.960 able to experience these nearly lost gems in the best versions possible. Now, 1209 01:42:05.119 --> 01:42:09.720 this was a lot of people thought this was originally an SOV film. This 1210 01:42:09.880 --> 01:42:15.119 was actually shot on sixteen millimeter, so it is worthy of an upgrade in 1211 01:42:15.279 --> 01:42:17.479 that front. And then on top of that, we've got some other stuff 1212 01:42:17.479 --> 01:42:21.159 coming up. We got any audio commentary and interview at Music Video, and 1213 01:42:21.199 --> 01:42:26.119 a whole bunch of others on here. But yeah, this looks like an 1214 01:42:26.119 --> 01:42:32.239 interesting introduction to a new partner label. Any thoughts on lost VHS films? 1215 01:42:33.880 --> 01:42:42.920 Well, you know, no, you know, I really appreciate I know 1216 01:42:43.000 --> 01:42:49.760 this is shot on sixteen but I've really appreciated some of the titles that like 1217 01:42:49.840 --> 01:42:56.079 Saturn's Core is released and had a great interview with it was it Ross, 1218 01:42:56.159 --> 01:43:00.680 Yeah, Ros Schneider, that was fantastic. You know, I remember as 1219 01:43:00.680 --> 01:43:04.840 a kid renting stuff like Cannibal Hookers and cannibal camp out, you know, 1220 01:43:05.640 --> 01:43:13.720 sv stuff. The fact that this is shot on sixteen really I'm interested. 1221 01:43:13.760 --> 01:43:19.600 I'm interested in seeing what looks like. I have a lot of corn shucking 1222 01:43:19.640 --> 01:43:27.960 based jokes just from where I grew up that probably not safe for the channel, 1223 01:43:28.000 --> 01:43:33.960 but lamb on me, I'm all ears. Oh. On top of 1224 01:43:33.960 --> 01:43:40.000 the sixteen millimeter, this is also shot in really weird looking black and white, 1225 01:43:40.039 --> 01:43:44.640 super unique, So I kind of I'm really interested on seeing what this 1226 01:43:44.720 --> 01:43:49.479 is going to look like on disk. Yeah, it looks odd, so 1227 01:43:50.479 --> 01:43:56.159 let's take a look at it. The story behind this one, it says 1228 01:43:56.199 --> 01:44:00.479 the corn shucker is a mythical creature who has lived simply and peacefully with nature, 1229 01:44:00.760 --> 01:44:03.079 but now he is besieged by urban sprawl. With nowhere else to go, 1230 01:44:03.159 --> 01:44:09.199 he is forced to deal with varmints and outlandishly odd townsfolk. Well this 1231 01:44:09.319 --> 01:44:15.279 is the same story as pomp Poco. I can't wait to see the short 1232 01:44:15.000 --> 01:44:20.920 corn Shucker's balls. Oh man almost missed myself up there. As his food 1233 01:44:20.960 --> 01:44:27.640 supply diminishes, the cornshucker is confronted by the bigoted old man Thomas I'm an 1234 01:44:27.680 --> 01:44:31.399 act of desperation. The cornshucker is forced to do the unthinkable. His existence 1235 01:44:31.439 --> 01:44:35.159 is in peril, and the mysterious world he inhabits could be destroyed. Only 1236 01:44:35.279 --> 01:44:40.800 nature in the townsfolk will decide his fate. Swear to God. Man, 1237 01:44:40.800 --> 01:44:49.520 that's pomp poco. But okay, yeah, we'll talk about that one later. 1238 01:44:49.560 --> 01:44:55.199 I'm sure at some point we should speak ahead when it comes out, 1239 01:44:55.199 --> 01:45:01.600 we should devote a whole show just the corn shucker analysis. I might be 1240 01:45:01.680 --> 01:45:04.840 down for that. Let's see what it actually is if there's enough to put 1241 01:45:05.119 --> 01:45:10.000 it down. This one is Speak of the Devil. We just talked about 1242 01:45:10.000 --> 01:45:15.239 Saturn's Core Dead North from nineteen ninety one, and a really really shot on 1243 01:45:15.319 --> 01:45:20.039 video inspired slipcover on this one, which I tend to love. I think 1244 01:45:20.079 --> 01:45:26.279 it looks pretty great on the slip here. And again Saturn's Core just doing 1245 01:45:26.439 --> 01:45:30.960 great work. Nineteen ninety one, when three couples escaped to the woods together 1246 01:45:30.079 --> 01:45:35.039 for a weekend camping trip, their idyllic vacation quickly becomes a desperate struggle for 1247 01:45:35.119 --> 01:45:42.159 survival when a deranged X wielding psychopath begins murdering them one by one. An 1248 01:45:42.199 --> 01:45:46.840 impossible web of marital infidelities leads to a meandering mosaic of endless red herrings, 1249 01:45:47.159 --> 01:45:53.880 deranged non vets, bitter office rivalries, perilous pungeee pits, and puffy brown 1250 01:45:53.960 --> 01:45:57.920 plaid couches. First off, I want to give another tip of the hat 1251 01:45:57.960 --> 01:46:02.279 to the wonderful copywriter at Vinegar Syndrome and their partner labels. It's probably all 1252 01:46:02.319 --> 01:46:10.800 ATOCN because oh man, they do some great jobs every single month. Yeah, 1253 01:46:10.880 --> 01:46:17.239 they truly captured the right tone, you know, in the tradition of 1254 01:46:17.239 --> 01:46:21.319 blood cult. Dead North is a hypnotic shot on video soap opera, slasher, 1255 01:46:21.359 --> 01:46:25.960 epic, never said those words together, I don't think, and an 1256 01:46:26.000 --> 01:46:30.199 early non custom passion project from director Gary Witson and his new Jersey based company 1257 01:46:30.399 --> 01:46:36.439 Wave Productions. Dead North continues to stupefy underground movie fans with its beguiling blend 1258 01:46:36.520 --> 01:46:43.000 of head scratching who done it, homespun gore effects, and charming regional eccentrist 1259 01:46:43.159 --> 01:46:47.319 eccentricities. Again, this is a Wave film from nineteen ninety one, and 1260 01:46:47.520 --> 01:46:51.640 the just the term Wave Productions turns off a lot of people. But this 1261 01:46:51.800 --> 01:46:56.199 is not one of those custom films, so it might be a little more 1262 01:46:56.399 --> 01:47:00.119 tolerable for you on that front. Well, I hope so, since that 1263 01:47:00.239 --> 01:47:04.640 features a feature length remake of the If you don't watch the movie once, 1264 01:47:04.640 --> 01:47:09.680 you get to see it twice and if you want to watch it even more. 1265 01:47:09.720 --> 01:47:13.680 There's an audio commentary with the director, moderated by Ros Schneider, co 1266 01:47:13.760 --> 01:47:16.960 director of Mail Order Murderer, who was on this channel earlier audio commentary with 1267 01:47:17.079 --> 01:47:20.600 Richard Moog, author of Analog Nightmares, The Shot on video Horror Films from 1268 01:47:20.600 --> 01:47:27.479 eighty two to ninety five interview with Gary Witson himself, and then The Pineland 1269 01:47:27.520 --> 01:47:31.760 Murders directed by our director. Gary Witson's twenty twelve feature length remake Like It 1270 01:47:31.880 --> 01:47:36.640 Was Just Said from twenty twelve, That's Wild. The Hanging Judge a nineteen 1271 01:47:36.680 --> 01:47:42.399 ninety one custom short from Wave featuring the cast of Dead North and it's forty 1272 01:47:42.439 --> 01:47:46.640 five minutes long, Crushed Gary Witson's nineteen ninety five short featuring Dead North stars 1273 01:47:46.720 --> 01:47:53.359 Clancy McCauley and Avon Warren, and Lunch Meet Midnight Stack, a twenty eight 1274 01:47:53.359 --> 01:47:59.520 page booklet featuring rare vintage news articles plus writings by a handful of people. 1275 01:48:00.319 --> 01:48:02.079 That's really cool that they're putting this out. So cool, you know, 1276 01:48:02.199 --> 01:48:08.239 I had a student close to a decade ago who was really into SOV did 1277 01:48:08.279 --> 01:48:15.880 a whole project for class and really proselytized the virtues of SV filmmaking to me. 1278 01:48:16.600 --> 01:48:23.560 And I wish you were able to be here now because there's so so 1279 01:48:23.720 --> 01:48:27.920 much more than you to have access to. Plus with all the extras and 1280 01:48:28.359 --> 01:48:34.600 real respect given, you know, making the movies hard, it is, 1281 01:48:34.720 --> 01:48:41.000 I have nothing but respect. I want to throw out another thing that I 1282 01:48:41.079 --> 01:48:45.640 mentioned and Ross and I talked about in our interview on Saturn's Core stuff that 1283 01:48:45.880 --> 01:48:48.720 these films, Yes, they're shot on video, and so a lot of 1284 01:48:48.720 --> 01:48:51.439 people scoff at why are we getting them on Blu Ray? They can't look 1285 01:48:51.479 --> 01:48:58.279 any better. I understand that, but also look at everything that is on 1286 01:48:58.479 --> 01:49:03.640 this disc because this is not something that you could ever see in a package, 1287 01:49:03.840 --> 01:49:08.199 you know, on VHS or even in the heyday of DVDs, because 1288 01:49:08.199 --> 01:49:14.640 there's so much content coming in this package that is just astounding. Yeah, 1289 01:49:15.000 --> 01:49:18.920 you know, anybody who can convince their friends, coworkers, family members to 1290 01:49:20.399 --> 01:49:25.720 work on these films as a character, you know, and I want to 1291 01:49:25.720 --> 01:49:30.239 know about them, not only that, and then have them come back for 1292 01:49:30.319 --> 01:49:35.800 a couple of shorts after because they didn't hate the first experience enough. And 1293 01:49:36.159 --> 01:49:40.920 it just continues and continues. First off, I'll throw out there, as 1294 01:49:40.960 --> 01:49:44.800 much as we're going to talk about this film, this slipcover is already sold 1295 01:49:44.840 --> 01:49:50.960 out and it is the fourth of August. We are getting from Yellowville Pictures 1296 01:49:51.159 --> 01:49:56.600 Faults from twenty fourteen. Nice looking slip here that nobody else is able to 1297 01:49:56.600 --> 01:50:01.239 purchase. The front and back here looks decent. This says Claire is under 1298 01:50:01.279 --> 01:50:08.000 the grip of a mysterious news sorry, mysterious new cult called False. Desperate 1299 01:50:08.039 --> 01:50:11.800 to be reunited with their daughter, Claire's parents recruit one of the world's foremost 1300 01:50:11.800 --> 01:50:16.359 experts on mind control, Ansel Roth, to kidnap and deprogram her. However, 1301 01:50:16.520 --> 01:50:20.119 once the process is underway, Anzel realizes he may not be the one 1302 01:50:20.199 --> 01:50:26.520 in control, which just sounds fricking incredible to me. This one is directed 1303 01:50:26.560 --> 01:50:30.560 by Riley Stearns, which is making a bit of an impact lately. He 1304 01:50:30.640 --> 01:50:35.199 just put out the film Duel on Blu Ray. A lot of people love 1305 01:50:35.239 --> 01:50:42.720 and Riley stuff recently Austin, Texas, fella Yeah, and then of course 1306 01:50:42.960 --> 01:50:45.359 we are getting a whole bunch of stuff on here. We get the original 1307 01:50:45.399 --> 01:50:51.680 cast commentary from twenty fifteen with the cast which includes Mary, Elizabeth Winstead and 1308 01:50:51.760 --> 01:50:56.039 the director, and then a new crew commentary from twenty twenty two with the 1309 01:50:56.119 --> 01:51:01.359 DP Michael Reagan, the editor and the director of course reprogramming faults and interview 1310 01:51:01.399 --> 01:51:09.079 with the director, a deprogramming fault discussion on cult deprogramming between low La Blanc 1311 01:51:09.159 --> 01:51:15.319 cult survivor turned filmmaker and director Riley Stearns, which that just sounds incredibly fascinating 1312 01:51:15.319 --> 01:51:19.479 to me. Riley Sterns Sundance selected short film called The Cub from twenty thirteen, 1313 01:51:20.079 --> 01:51:27.079 and then a transcribed discussion between the director Alex Ross Perry from her Smell 1314 01:51:27.199 --> 01:51:31.079 and then director Riley Stearns in an illustrated twelve page booklet, which is an 1315 01:51:31.119 --> 01:51:36.680 interesting idea to include on here. Yeah, that's really cool. I'm sad 1316 01:51:36.680 --> 01:51:40.800 that I missed the slipcovers, but I'm gonna check it out. It went 1317 01:51:41.239 --> 01:51:44.760 very quickly, and this month was a little odd because they had four or 1318 01:51:44.800 --> 01:51:48.880 five titles that were only limited to a thousand, which has seemingly been happening 1319 01:51:48.880 --> 01:51:54.520 a little more lately, and this has been an element of discussion and as 1320 01:51:54.560 --> 01:51:59.800 a subscriber, I'll ask you, because the subscriber totals, they've been raising 1321 01:51:59.800 --> 01:52:01.680 the totals on how many they're printing for the last couple of years. So 1322 01:52:02.840 --> 01:52:04.800 a couple of years, well, not a couple of years ago, now, 1323 01:52:05.279 --> 01:52:09.520 gosh, five years ago. Now a lot of them were only limited 1324 01:52:09.520 --> 01:52:13.399 to one thousand to fifteen hundred because venderary syndrome was so small. And now 1325 01:52:13.840 --> 01:52:18.319 we're getting titles with you know, ten thousand slipcovers, and it's a big 1326 01:52:18.439 --> 01:52:24.800 change now these one thousand limit on the partner labels. Do you think that 1327 01:52:24.960 --> 01:52:30.479 is I'll use the word nefarious. Do you think it is in any way 1328 01:52:30.560 --> 01:52:35.960 OCN trying to get people to buy titles that they wouldn't otherwise purchase. I 1329 01:52:36.000 --> 01:52:42.479 mean, it would be nefarious for sure if they print a thousand, kind 1330 01:52:42.520 --> 01:52:45.520 of create an artificial shortage and then print another thousand, you know, right, 1331 01:52:45.800 --> 01:52:48.960 But so far, I don't think I've seen any of that. Have 1332 01:52:49.079 --> 01:52:53.880 you seen any of that? They've never done that, And I've heard this 1333 01:52:54.000 --> 01:52:57.159 sort of argument of they're just trying to get people to buy these, which 1334 01:52:57.840 --> 01:53:00.840 I mean, you don't have to buy them. One thing that I would 1335 01:53:00.960 --> 01:53:03.079 like and you know, I don't mean to be snooty or anything, but 1336 01:53:03.520 --> 01:53:06.840 you know, part of the reason to do the subscriber package is to kind 1337 01:53:06.840 --> 01:53:12.680 of be part of that you know, inside group that's going to get stuff, 1338 01:53:13.039 --> 01:53:15.680 you know, before everybody else. And and you know, the more 1339 01:53:16.239 --> 01:53:21.479 the more titles are printed, the less exclusive the club is, and so 1340 01:53:21.520 --> 01:53:27.640 there's that that could hurt the incentive. I'm still going to remain a subscriber. 1341 01:53:27.680 --> 01:53:30.880 I support Fingers Decentric. I'm wrapping them with my T shirt tonight. 1342 01:53:32.359 --> 01:53:39.640 But I wonder if it's possible for them to create a second subscriber option, 1343 01:53:39.800 --> 01:53:45.119 like a partner label subscription, that might you know, kind of recapture that 1344 01:53:45.119 --> 01:53:53.239 that feeling of being in a small select club of people who throw away all 1345 01:53:53.239 --> 01:53:57.239 their all the money they would have caught Christmas presents for the family with in 1346 01:53:57.319 --> 01:54:03.640 November, you know, and I'd probably be one of them. I think 1347 01:54:03.800 --> 01:54:08.199 the Liberty has come out and said that they can't do that, just because 1348 01:54:08.840 --> 01:54:12.319 not all of it is planned so far in advance. But I think it 1349 01:54:12.319 --> 01:54:16.000 would be really interesting if they made a way to say you're able to get 1350 01:54:16.119 --> 01:54:20.319 you know, fifty titles and you just choose them throughout the year email us 1351 01:54:20.399 --> 01:54:25.720 and we'll add it to it, and it's just a very specific total. 1352 01:54:25.800 --> 01:54:28.840 However, they would have to say, like this title is a box set 1353 01:54:28.880 --> 01:54:31.439 and it's not able to be chosen or something like that, right, well, 1354 01:54:31.600 --> 01:54:34.600 you know, something like that. Maybe maybe they can think about it 1355 01:54:34.640 --> 01:54:39.359 down the road. It's hard, Like if you're a completist, then I 1356 01:54:39.399 --> 01:54:45.399 get pretty obsessive about complete aism with labels. It's really hard to keep up 1357 01:54:45.439 --> 01:54:50.119 with partner label titles. That's not really a complaint because I'm so happy that 1358 01:54:50.199 --> 01:55:00.119 so many of these films are getting you know, ice releases and getting that 1359 01:55:00.199 --> 01:55:04.720 kind of attention, but it's it's tough to keep up. Well, I 1360 01:55:04.720 --> 01:55:08.840 mean on top of that, I mean there's twenty two partner labels now, 1361 01:55:09.079 --> 01:55:14.319 so that is an astonishing number. In some months we're getting fifteen new titles. 1362 01:55:14.359 --> 01:55:20.640 So a subscription would be just insane. But also just to incentivize the 1363 01:55:20.720 --> 01:55:25.680 Vinegar Syndrome subscription, that's why it's also going to be a subscriber, because 1364 01:55:26.039 --> 01:55:29.760 you always get these partner label titles at the fifty percent off sales price. 1365 01:55:30.079 --> 01:55:32.720 Yeah, that's a that's a real godsend, especially because of the next title 1366 01:55:32.760 --> 01:55:39.840 that I've already ordered, all right, so false looks and sounds pretty dang 1367 01:55:39.920 --> 01:55:44.840 good. And the next one we are getting the films of Doris Wishman, 1368 01:55:45.039 --> 01:55:48.960 The Moonlight Years. And this is one of the sideloading sets. It's got 1369 01:55:48.960 --> 01:55:53.800 the magnet in it to capture, you know, the same first set that 1370 01:55:53.840 --> 01:56:00.399 they put out. Good God, another one come on. This one is 1371 01:56:00.880 --> 01:56:03.680 called The Moonlight Years because it's from nineteen sixty five to nineteen sixty nine. 1372 01:56:04.119 --> 01:56:09.079 And I believe they said in the interview they did with me, which by 1373 01:56:09.119 --> 01:56:13.079 the way, you need to watch that because it's pretty incredible what they talk 1374 01:56:13.159 --> 01:56:15.359 about. I believe this is going to be the biggest of the three sets. 1375 01:56:16.119 --> 01:56:20.680 And then they also said that in twenty twenty three they're going to be 1376 01:56:20.680 --> 01:56:26.279 putting out another standalone outside of those three sets through AGFA from Doris Wishman. 1377 01:56:26.439 --> 01:56:31.239 Ooh, well, this one has some of her most important titles, Bad 1378 01:56:31.279 --> 01:56:36.680 Girls Go to Hell. It's the other film that I always show. And 1379 01:56:36.800 --> 01:56:44.159 I'm a big fan of Another Day Another Man in Decent Desires too, But 1380 01:56:44.359 --> 01:56:47.359 I'm getting ahead of myself. Go ahead and give the introduction. There is 1381 01:56:47.720 --> 01:56:53.479 so much in here, as you can probably see here six hundred and twenty 1382 01:56:53.520 --> 01:56:58.640 three minutes of combined film. We are getting, Gosh, what is this? 1383 01:56:58.680 --> 01:57:00.680 I think it's three discs, So yeah, a three disc release. 1384 01:57:00.760 --> 01:57:04.840 The first one has Bad Girls go to Hell from sixty five, in Decent 1385 01:57:04.920 --> 01:57:10.560 Desires from sixty eight, and a Taste of Flesh from sixty seven, and 1386 01:57:10.600 --> 01:57:14.640 then dis two has Another Day, Another Man from sixty six, My Brother's 1387 01:57:14.680 --> 01:57:18.359 Wife from sixty six, and Passion Fever from sixty nine. Then Disc three 1388 01:57:18.479 --> 01:57:23.720 has The Sex Perils of Paulette from sixty five, the Hot Month of August 1389 01:57:23.800 --> 01:57:29.039 from sixty six, and Too Much, Too Often from sixty eight. Now, 1390 01:57:29.239 --> 01:57:32.720 one complaint I've seen people say is that we are only getting some of 1391 01:57:32.760 --> 01:57:40.600 the s VHS masters and they're not able to get any any better film masters 1392 01:57:40.600 --> 01:57:45.520 that they're able to remaster unfortunately, which I do get. Thankfully, we 1393 01:57:45.640 --> 01:57:50.159 are able to get a commentary with Frank Hennen Lauterer on Bad Girls go to 1394 01:57:50.159 --> 01:57:55.800 Hell, and then we got a commentary with queer film historian Liz Purcell for 1395 01:57:55.880 --> 01:58:00.039 Indecent Desires, then a booklet with writing from Lisa Patrue, which is a 1396 01:58:00.079 --> 01:58:03.800 big, big deal to be able to get that in this Uh. Then 1397 01:58:04.079 --> 01:58:11.079 a Let's See My Brother's Wife gets a commentary from Wishman biographer Michael Bowen and 1398 01:58:11.239 --> 01:58:15.600 a photo gallery on that one as well, and then finally, The Sex 1399 01:58:15.680 --> 01:58:23.520 Perils of Paulette gets a commentary from Lisa Petrucci herself. I'm I'm so stoked 1400 01:58:23.560 --> 01:58:29.399 that she is still involved and able to do something like this because she does 1401 01:58:29.439 --> 01:58:36.279 not have to at all. Yeah, I'm you know, complaints about quality 1402 01:58:36.439 --> 01:58:41.079 aside, I'm just so glad that these are getting released at all. You 1403 01:58:41.119 --> 01:58:48.640 know, Wishman is such a unique and fascinating story and a lot of her 1404 01:58:48.680 --> 01:59:00.159 films are surprisingly cool and interesting and weird, so this is great. A 1405 01:59:00.199 --> 01:59:04.279 lot of them are also a lot more relevant and timely than people think, 1406 01:59:04.399 --> 01:59:10.439 because she was very much an outlier at the time. So this is one 1407 01:59:10.479 --> 01:59:15.079 that is going to be bringing a lot of people onto a completely different like 1408 01:59:15.439 --> 01:59:21.159 level of understanding Doris Wishman than you've ever thought possible considering what they're packaging together. 1409 01:59:21.920 --> 01:59:26.520 I do agree with Flickering Waves here, he says, I'm all about 1410 01:59:26.560 --> 01:59:29.000 the Wishman box sets, but I think the third box may prove to be 1411 01:59:29.039 --> 01:59:33.000 my favorite. I think that third box may prove to be most, maybe 1412 01:59:33.039 --> 01:59:38.720 the most accessible to a lot of people, and possibly at least the one 1413 01:59:38.720 --> 01:59:44.439 that they remember the most cool. I'm offer that, you know, every 1414 01:59:44.560 --> 01:59:50.119 year when I teach Bag Girls Go to Hell, several students get obsessed with 1415 01:59:50.199 --> 01:59:57.800 Wishmen. And then when they check out films like you know, Let Me 1416 01:59:57.840 --> 02:00:05.319 Die a Woman and and discover that these kinds of stories and these kinds of 1417 02:00:05.920 --> 02:00:15.000 conversations, and obviously the language has changed over time, but but the fact 1418 02:00:15.000 --> 02:00:17.720 that someone was trying to tell these stories, even if it's someone in an 1419 02:00:17.720 --> 02:00:21.600 exploitive way, I just really responded that, like, oh, I had 1420 02:00:21.640 --> 02:00:29.119 no idea there was this whole you know, world of cinema that that Michael 1421 02:00:29.159 --> 02:00:32.600 Bay didn't make, you know exactly. And what's really exciting to me is 1422 02:00:32.680 --> 02:00:39.600 that this is eventually going to turn into basically a single cohesive collection that will 1423 02:00:39.720 --> 02:00:43.279 rival some of the bigger ones like that severn Is put out with the Milligan 1424 02:00:43.960 --> 02:00:47.960 and the Radentis Steckler and all of these, because it's going to have almost 1425 02:00:48.119 --> 02:00:53.520 all of her films across the three and then whatever the standalone releases, which 1426 02:00:54.119 --> 02:00:58.399 if you know Wishman's filmography, there's a couple of guesses that you could throw 1427 02:00:58.439 --> 02:01:00.239 out there, because it's they're really nic could be missing that much as soon 1428 02:01:00.279 --> 02:01:08.319 as they're done. I'm curious because also we could get a Pikorama title from 1429 02:01:08.359 --> 02:01:12.640 Vinegar Syndrome with a couple of the missing ones as well. She denied she 1430 02:01:12.680 --> 02:01:18.840 ever made any of those kinds of stuff. We shall see, though, 1431 02:01:20.039 --> 02:01:27.880 Go ahead. I just hope they managed to somehow get Dildo Heaven. God. 1432 02:01:28.000 --> 02:01:31.239 Yeah, I really hope. So. Again, to kind of visualize 1433 02:01:31.239 --> 02:01:34.560 how much is in this set, here is the listing on the back of 1434 02:01:34.600 --> 02:01:40.840 all of the titles. Again, it is a three disc set and really 1435 02:01:40.880 --> 02:01:45.000 really important to really just dive into her filmography if you have that first set 1436 02:01:45.119 --> 02:01:48.880 and just keep it going, because there's still a third set coming this year 1437 02:01:48.920 --> 02:01:57.520 as well. Moving right along, we are getting from Gunpowder and Sky Hearts 1438 02:01:57.560 --> 02:02:02.239 Beat Loud, which is from twenty eight and possibly a little more mainstream than 1439 02:02:02.279 --> 02:02:05.840 people were expecting. I'm really glad because I didn't get the first Blu ray 1440 02:02:05.880 --> 02:02:09.520 release, and I've actually been wanting to see this for quite some time. 1441 02:02:10.039 --> 02:02:13.479 This is the front of the slip and then here is the back. This 1442 02:02:13.600 --> 02:02:18.359 movie stars Nick Offerman, Keirsey, Clemens Blithe Danner, one of my favorite 1443 02:02:18.399 --> 02:02:25.560 actors of all time, possibly Tony Colette, sash Lane, and Ted Dancing. 1444 02:02:26.520 --> 02:02:30.960 This is basically about a single dad and a record store owner named Frank 1445 02:02:30.000 --> 02:02:34.880 who is trying to connect with his I believe daughter a little bit more. 1446 02:02:36.800 --> 02:02:44.119 Yeah, So the father and daughter start to perform together and it's basically just 1447 02:02:44.119 --> 02:02:47.840 a feel good music movie which really speaks to who I am. I can't 1448 02:02:47.880 --> 02:02:50.359 wait to see this for the first time. Finally, have you seen this 1449 02:02:50.439 --> 02:02:57.239 one? No? I mean it seems sweet, you know, and as 1450 02:02:57.319 --> 02:03:02.840 somebody who's about to send we're about to send our oldest daughter to the college 1451 02:03:02.840 --> 02:03:08.119 here in a couple of weeks and kind of dealing with the emotional impact of 1452 02:03:08.199 --> 02:03:13.199 that. I don't know, I might have trouble getting through this one. 1453 02:03:14.359 --> 02:03:18.159 So this one has all kinds of new stuff, which is really unexpected. 1454 02:03:18.199 --> 02:03:23.199 We got a new feature length audio commentary with the director and a co writer 1455 02:03:23.359 --> 02:03:27.920 and composer recorded this year, new interview with the director recorded this year, 1456 02:03:28.039 --> 02:03:32.560 new interview with Nick Offerman recorded this year, and then feature length audio commentary 1457 02:03:32.600 --> 02:03:39.239 with the director interview from a few years ago. We even got Tony Collette 1458 02:03:39.239 --> 02:03:43.199 interview on here and just a bunch of stuff. We're getting a lot of 1459 02:03:43.199 --> 02:03:46.760 the behind the scenes, all kinds of stuff. Plus then a booklet featuring 1460 02:03:46.800 --> 02:03:53.760 a new essay by writer BJ Colangelo. Like I mentioned earlier, great stuff. 1461 02:03:54.680 --> 02:04:00.119 Yeah, it's a killer cast. I don't know anything about it. 1462 02:04:00.159 --> 02:04:02.960 I'm kind of surprised I hadn't heard anything about it. With that cast, 1463 02:04:04.000 --> 02:04:08.600 it definitely flew under the radar quite a bit. Oh and the director, 1464 02:04:09.920 --> 02:04:14.199 I just looked him up because I thought his name looked familiar. Graduate of 1465 02:04:14.239 --> 02:04:16.600 the North Carolina School of Arts right right down the road for me in Winston 1466 02:04:16.640 --> 02:04:20.159 Salem. So nice. Now I have to check it out because he's a 1467 02:04:20.159 --> 02:04:27.319 hometown guy. Let's see what else we got, because we are barely getting 1468 02:04:27.359 --> 02:04:31.840 started. From Canadian International Pictures, we are getting the kid Brother. Here 1469 02:04:31.920 --> 02:04:38.399 is the front of the horizontal slip and here is the back. Now, 1470 02:04:38.880 --> 02:04:45.720 this is one that some people are championing, championing so hard and I have 1471 02:04:45.000 --> 02:04:49.000 never seen this, but good gosh, after reading everything on this, I 1472 02:04:49.279 --> 02:04:55.439 can't wait to watch this. This says going through life without legs. Thirteen 1473 02:04:55.479 --> 02:05:00.239 year old Kenny. Kenny easter Day is playing a version of himself on this 1474 02:05:00.279 --> 02:05:04.199 film. Is active and enthusiastic, resisting the pressure to wear prosthetic limbs. 1475 02:05:04.439 --> 02:05:09.760 He also finds himself the subject of a documentary made by a visiting French film 1476 02:05:09.800 --> 02:05:15.560 crew. As the production unfolds, Kenny's parents, brother, and absentee sister 1477 02:05:15.920 --> 02:05:20.079 bring long simmering tensions to the surface, shaking Kenny's delicate sense of balance. 1478 02:05:20.520 --> 02:05:24.800 Determined to better understand his place in the world, he hits the road for 1479 02:05:24.840 --> 02:05:30.199 a daring journey of self discovery at the age of thirteen, and just to 1480 02:05:30.640 --> 02:05:34.960 sell it a little bit more, Canadian International says an unprecedented cinematic achievement that 1481 02:05:35.039 --> 02:05:41.399 has earned acclaim, awards and disbelief all over the world, while remaining largely 1482 02:05:41.520 --> 02:05:45.439 unknown in North America. The Kid Brother is a one of a kind coming 1483 02:05:45.439 --> 02:05:48.199 of age triumph. In his one and only film role, Kenny easter Day 1484 02:05:48.319 --> 02:05:54.720 lights up the screen with an infectiously appealing performance full of charm and playful abandon. 1485 02:05:55.319 --> 02:05:59.920 This is going to be a scan in four K from the OCN restored 1486 02:06:00.079 --> 02:06:05.560 by Elephant Memoir du Cinema French Whatever, with sound transferred and restored from the 1487 02:06:05.600 --> 02:06:11.439 original thirty five millimeter magnetic film four track final mix, which is really cool. 1488 02:06:11.439 --> 02:06:14.800 They don't always go that extra step. There, We've got an audio 1489 02:06:14.840 --> 02:06:19.960 commentary featuring author and film historian and Canadian Kila Denise and writer film critic Ralph 1490 02:06:20.039 --> 02:06:25.600 Elawani, and then from twenty twenty two, a thirty three minute interview with 1491 02:06:25.640 --> 02:06:30.279 the writer and director. Then also from this year, an interview with Gagnan's 1492 02:06:30.319 --> 02:06:35.279 longtime producing partner Yuri Yoshimura Gayan, and then nine minute long memories from the 1493 02:06:35.279 --> 02:06:43.000 film's international festival tour, Then again a booklet featuring Rick Tremble's motion picture Purgatory 1494 02:06:43.000 --> 02:06:45.920 comic strip on the film, and a new interview with co star Jesse easter 1495 02:06:46.039 --> 02:06:55.079 Day Junior. You know what I think about Kenny I remember vaguely, well 1496 02:06:55.119 --> 02:06:57.680 not vaguely because I remember him, but I remember he used to film the 1497 02:06:57.720 --> 02:07:02.239 Jerry Springer Show as a guy's not not one of the you know, red 1498 02:07:02.279 --> 02:07:05.880 wrecks fights shows, but what you know, when they would kind of get, 1499 02:07:06.680 --> 02:07:10.760 you know, a little bit exploited because it be like the inspirational story 1500 02:07:10.800 --> 02:07:18.640 type of stuff. But but I remember him being a guest, and that's 1501 02:07:18.680 --> 02:07:23.680 about it. He died not too long ago, a few years ago. 1502 02:07:24.279 --> 02:07:30.920 Kenny Easterly did yesterday which is sad, of course, but so yeah, 1503 02:07:30.960 --> 02:07:34.479 I'm really I'm really interested in this. I've never heard of this. He 1504 02:07:34.560 --> 02:07:40.079 had to have been pretty young, probably forties ish, Yeah, early forties. 1505 02:07:43.000 --> 02:07:47.760 Very interesting, alrighty. Next one from Enjoy the Ride Records. Another 1506 02:07:47.800 --> 02:07:53.319 one that I had on here for an interview. This is one that screamed 1507 02:07:53.439 --> 02:07:58.359 something I have to watch and very soon we are getting. Low Sound Desert 1508 02:07:58.399 --> 02:08:03.159 from twenty fifteen, two chapters on rock music. This is a documentary by 1509 02:08:03.560 --> 02:08:09.039 Jerg Steineck about the rock music scene in the low Desert of California. What 1510 02:08:09.159 --> 02:08:13.399 was started by revolting punk rock kids hidden from narrow minded authorities of suburban desert 1511 02:08:13.399 --> 02:08:18.840 communities in the early eighties gave birth to bands like Caius and Queens of the 1512 02:08:18.880 --> 02:08:22.720 Stone Age. With its unique artistic approach, the film provides a deep, 1513 02:08:22.760 --> 02:08:28.119 intimate insight and captures the attitude of the Coachella Valley's music scene. From jamming 1514 02:08:28.119 --> 02:08:31.279 all night in the middle of a surreal desert landscape to headlining European stages, 1515 02:08:31.680 --> 02:08:37.039 desert rock continued its underground spread and became international treasure. Low Sand Desert is 1516 02:08:37.159 --> 02:08:43.119 narrated by Josh Hami Mario Lali, Brant, Bjork, Alfredo Hernandez, Scott 1517 02:08:43.159 --> 02:08:46.760 Reader, Sean Wheeler, and many more from bands like Caius, Queens of 1518 02:08:46.760 --> 02:08:50.039 the Stone Age, Yawning Man, Fatso, Jetson, Mondo Generator, among 1519 02:08:50.439 --> 02:08:54.720 others. This is going to be region free and then they've got an hour 1520 02:08:54.760 --> 02:09:00.399 of additional footage on here. And I grew up in California and grew up 1521 02:09:00.399 --> 02:09:03.439 in the music scene. I did not get to anything in this area. 1522 02:09:03.840 --> 02:09:09.680 I never really went anywhere near the Coachella area, never went among palm springs, 1523 02:09:09.720 --> 02:09:11.800 nothing like that. So I am super curious to dive into this. 1524 02:09:13.600 --> 02:09:16.560 Oh man, that's the same daughter there were about us in the college. 1525 02:09:16.560 --> 02:09:20.520 I just got into Caius, and I'm proud of myself for doing so, 1526 02:09:20.680 --> 02:09:26.760 because they kill it in Queens and stone Age evolved out of that band. 1527 02:09:28.439 --> 02:09:33.479 I'm really interested in what who among others are going to be right the other 1528 02:09:33.560 --> 02:09:39.239 band? You know, the stone of rock and punk rock bands, and 1529 02:09:39.279 --> 02:09:43.760 how you know how far south are they going? Are they getting into some 1530 02:09:43.800 --> 02:09:46.479 of the Arizona bands too, like Neat Puppets and stuff like that. I 1531 02:09:46.560 --> 02:09:50.720 wonder, I don't know, it could be. I mean, they're very 1532 02:09:50.720 --> 02:09:54.199 close to the Arizona Boarder there for sure. Now I'm definitely going to get 1533 02:09:54.199 --> 02:09:56.680 into this one. Start to says, I passed because I never heard of 1534 02:09:56.680 --> 02:10:01.560 any of these musicians. I highly wreck Man checking out Caius and Queens of 1535 02:10:01.560 --> 02:10:05.239 the Stone Age. Specifically Queens of the Stone Age has ever since they started 1536 02:10:05.239 --> 02:10:11.359 putting out music many they speak to my soul. Yeah, you got the 1537 02:10:11.399 --> 02:10:18.920 group man. Next up a big title from Fun City Editions with the man 1538 02:10:20.039 --> 02:10:26.840 Hel Holbrook. This is Natural Enemies from nineteen seventy nine. What do you 1539 02:10:26.880 --> 02:10:33.359 feel about Fun City and Hal Holbrook? There will love how Holbrook just watched 1540 02:10:33.399 --> 02:10:41.079 him and his boy recently and Girls Night Out there under Slasher movie. I 1541 02:10:41.239 --> 02:10:46.800 like that this this release is advertised as you know, coming from the director 1542 02:10:46.880 --> 02:10:54.199 of Revenge of the Nerds and true Beverly Hills yep, which is for my 1543 02:10:54.319 --> 02:11:00.399 generation. That's like, oh awesome. You know, so I've never heard 1544 02:11:00.399 --> 02:11:07.079 of Natural Enemies. I loved Revenge of the Nerds growing up. Still love 1545 02:11:11.560 --> 02:11:16.560 parts of that movie, other parts of not aged well. The Troop Beverly 1546 02:11:16.640 --> 02:11:20.319 Hills is a family classic for our for our family for a long time, 1547 02:11:20.359 --> 02:11:24.399 So say, yeah, this is this looks really interesting. To me. 1548 02:11:24.640 --> 02:11:30.520 Oh, Louis Fletcher's in It Cool. The plot on this one, too, 1549 02:11:30.600 --> 02:11:33.880 sounds wild. It says, what causes a man who seemingly has everything, 1550 02:11:35.039 --> 02:11:37.600 a thriving business and family, to snap and throw it all away? 1551 02:11:37.960 --> 02:11:43.760 It's the question that this provocative and intelligent psychological drama investigates. Successful New York 1552 02:11:43.800 --> 02:11:48.319 magazine publisher Paul Stewart has reached his breaking point, and today is the day 1553 02:11:48.399 --> 02:11:54.520 he has decided to kill himself, his wife, and their children. Holy 1554 02:11:54.640 --> 02:11:58.960 shit, his marriage to Miriam has grown cold and distant. On this final 1555 02:12:00.159 --> 02:12:03.880 day, he seeks the answers that might relieve him of his despair through encounters 1556 02:12:03.920 --> 02:12:09.119 with a psychiatrist, an astronaut, a friend who survived the Holocaust, five 1557 02:12:09.199 --> 02:12:13.199 prostitutes in a brothel, and a lonely woman on the train ride home. 1558 02:12:13.920 --> 02:12:20.479 I mean, I have to see that. That's a hell of a day, 1559 02:12:20.640 --> 02:12:24.199 So go ahead. So this this is the movie that would have happened 1560 02:12:24.239 --> 02:12:30.119 if the parents and Troop Beverly Hills had not gotten divorced. Yeah, this 1561 02:12:30.159 --> 02:12:37.039 is ten years later. Video Stores's Natural Enemies is a great, great film. 1562 02:12:37.039 --> 02:12:39.680 It's like if Michael Hannica directed Save the Tiger. Oh, Wow, 1563 02:12:39.880 --> 02:12:43.039 they should get that on the back of the back of the box. That's 1564 02:12:43.079 --> 02:12:50.960 at endorsement. Interesting. Interesting. So this is region free, new two 1565 02:12:52.039 --> 02:12:56.600 K restoration from the thirty five millimeter deposit print held at the Library of Congress. 1566 02:12:58.359 --> 02:13:01.880 Booklet with a new essay by j Bailey, newly recorded audio commentary by 1567 02:13:01.960 --> 02:13:07.840 Bill Ackerman of the Supporting Characters podcast, and then a newly filmed two part 1568 02:13:07.960 --> 02:13:11.239 video interview with the director, Jeff Canoe, and then there's a video introduction 1569 02:13:11.399 --> 02:13:16.239 by that director on there, which, Man, this is great. I 1570 02:13:16.239 --> 02:13:22.279 am so glad that this is getting a new release again, a director that 1571 02:13:22.319 --> 02:13:26.439 people knew for completely other types of films and I cannot wait to see this. 1572 02:13:28.159 --> 02:13:31.880 And that cover art is boss. It is perfect. And then this 1573 02:13:31.960 --> 02:13:37.399 is the backside, what goes around just going through her head? Yep, 1574 02:13:39.760 --> 02:13:46.680 I love the prostitutes on top of the the quote here on the back today 1575 02:13:46.720 --> 02:13:50.920 Paul Stewart is planning to kill his wife, his children, and himself. 1576 02:13:50.279 --> 02:13:54.880 They are not messing around with this, No, not even any comments. 1577 02:13:54.880 --> 02:14:01.079 This is going straight through, dude, says. Happy to see early Jeff 1578 02:14:01.119 --> 02:14:03.680 Canoe getting some attention. He's kind of underrated just because he'll always be the 1579 02:14:03.720 --> 02:14:09.359 revenge of the nerds guy, which nowadays that that's not always a positive thing 1580 02:14:09.439 --> 02:14:13.399 unfortunately. But yeah, I agree. I do think that he's been overlooked 1581 02:14:13.399 --> 02:14:16.520 a little bit for some of this, and he's he's got a bit of 1582 02:14:16.520 --> 02:14:18.800 a filmography. It's it's something that's not been dipped into too many times. 1583 02:14:20.159 --> 02:14:24.079 Yeah, this might, this might lead to a resurgence. Someone start checking 1584 02:14:24.079 --> 02:14:31.079 out. And again, Fun City has been just crushing it with their releases. 1585 02:14:31.560 --> 02:14:35.159 They are almost at one hundred percent. I think there's one or two 1586 02:14:35.199 --> 02:14:37.560 titles that a lot of people have been hit or miss on, especially like 1587 02:14:37.680 --> 02:14:41.960 Bill Tis. A lot of people did not like. Oh morever in Collar 1588 02:14:43.560 --> 02:14:46.479 fantastic. I'm so happy they put that out. Coca Cola Kid, I 1589 02:14:46.479 --> 02:14:50.640 mean, yeah, you're right, and they did the prime time Panic. 1590 02:14:50.840 --> 02:14:56.079 I think that Christian was mentioned in the chat. A lot of good titles 1591 02:14:56.079 --> 02:15:03.760 and fantastic for sure. Next up from Canny or Connie, however you say 1592 02:15:03.760 --> 02:15:09.520 it out loud Robinson's Garden from nineteen eighty seven, which, first of all, 1593 02:15:09.680 --> 02:15:13.119 one of the most vibrant slipcovers we've seen in quite some time, very 1594 02:15:13.239 --> 02:15:18.039 very interesting colors. Here. This says on a drunken walk home. Bohemian 1595 02:15:18.119 --> 02:15:24.399 drug dealer Kumi discovers an abandoned building on the outskirts of Tokyo. Attracted by 1596 02:15:24.399 --> 02:15:30.199 the vast and untapped space rampant with luxuriant vegetation, she promptly sells all of 1597 02:15:30.199 --> 02:15:33.000 her belongings and retreats from the world. She carves an island out of the 1598 02:15:33.000 --> 02:15:39.079 concrete squat and wiles her days away growing cabbage and expressing herself in any way. 1599 02:15:39.199 --> 02:15:43.600 She pleases. This one is going to be a region a locked release. 1600 02:15:45.119 --> 02:15:48.199 We've got a couple of interviews on here. New art and then new 1601 02:15:48.359 --> 02:15:54.520 writing by k.

Shot this, I mean, 1604 02:16:03.560 --> 02:16:07.159 you know his obviously. The films listed there, Living Living, Johnny Sway, 1605 02:16:09.319 --> 02:16:18.439 several others really good. And yeah that it's kind of propped up in 1606 02:16:18.439 --> 02:16:26.760 that early to mid eighties hunk no Wave scene sounds pretty interesting. Slipcover looks 1607 02:16:26.800 --> 02:16:31.959 like the trapper keeper I had when I was a kid. I'm kind of 1608 02:16:33.239 --> 02:16:37.440 entranced by it. Ye Flickering Wave says that Robinson Garden slip would make for 1609 02:16:37.479 --> 02:16:41.559 a wild shirt. It would look like a perfect ninety shirt, especially if 1610 02:16:41.559 --> 02:16:48.520 they really use that left side. Yeah cool man.

If the police cannot find the killer, then who will. Maybe 1621 02:17:33.920 --> 02:17:37.120 it will be a former detective, or perhaps it will be a couple of 1622 02:17:37.159 --> 02:17:45.200 guys shooting a documentary about prostitution.

I'll leave that when there for a second, This says writer 1641 02:19:16.680 --> 02:19:22.440 director Owner Tukel turns in a hilarious performance as the monumentally lazy, socially oblivious, 1642 02:19:22.520 --> 02:19:28.520 and commitment shi Eric Sparrow, who is dumped by his career woman girlfriend 1643 02:19:28.520 --> 02:19:33.360 when he rejects her rather charitable marriage proposal. Feeling lost, he turns to 1644 02:19:33.399 --> 02:19:39.319 a disastrous string of online dates that successively eat away at his already deteriorating confidence, 1645 02:19:39.680 --> 02:19:45.000 until a lanky vampire turns him into an undead lady killer with a maniacal 1646 02:19:45.079 --> 02:19:48.719 sex drive matched only by his frenzied need to feed on blood. A collision 1647 02:19:48.799 --> 02:19:54.479 of absurd self deprecating wit and existential curiosity, Summer of Blood is a hilarious 1648 02:19:54.520 --> 02:20:01.120 horror comedy with a clever bite all its own. This is from twenty fourteen 1649 02:20:01.239 --> 02:20:05.559 region free. We got two different commentaries by the director and main star on 1650 02:20:05.639 --> 02:20:09.360 here something really cool. We got a twenty nine minute vampire interview with Larry 1651 02:20:09.440 --> 02:20:15.440 Fessenden and then a twenty five minute vampire interview with somebody named Lloyd Kaufman. 1652 02:20:16.040 --> 02:20:22.079 I wish they were together. Yeah, that would have been cool. We 1653 02:20:22.159 --> 02:20:24.879 got some behind the scenes, some deleted scenes, some trailers in here, 1654 02:20:24.920 --> 02:20:30.040 and then again another booklet. We got a twenty four page illustrated booklet with 1655 02:20:30.200 --> 02:20:35.399 essays by Simon Bacon and the director. I got to mention Simon Bacon, 1656 02:20:35.440 --> 02:20:41.440 whose work I'm familiar with. He's a really, really knowledgeable scholar, especially 1657 02:20:41.399 --> 02:20:46.600 on all things vampire. He's written like, I don't know, one hundred 1658 02:20:46.639 --> 02:20:50.280 and fifty books about vampires, not really that many, but a lot. 1659 02:20:50.440 --> 02:20:56.600 And the guy knows his stuff really fun to work with, So that's worth 1660 02:20:56.639 --> 02:21:01.319 the price of admission right there. I don't know what it is, but 1661 02:21:01.959 --> 02:21:05.440 there's been a lot of stuff brought up about vampires lately, so I'm glad 1662 02:21:05.440 --> 02:21:09.239 that we're getting more about this again. It's a genre that seems to go 1663 02:21:09.440 --> 02:21:15.239 in cycles, and we seem to be in a little lull for vampire films 1664 02:21:15.280 --> 02:21:18.879 right now, so I'm I'm glad we're getting this. Yeah, it goes 1665 02:21:18.000 --> 02:21:20.840 zombie vampires, zombie vampire, and then every now and then there's like a 1666 02:21:20.840 --> 02:21:28.040 werewolf movie. I actually I actually wrote an essay in a film International several 1667 02:21:28.120 --> 02:21:37.280 years ago about zombies and vampires from Reagan to Trump and how the how the 1668 02:21:37.319 --> 02:21:43.639 film's come evolved in that period. And it was really it really is a 1669 02:21:43.680 --> 02:21:46.840 cycle. You know. It was really interesting doing the research seeing you know, 1670 02:21:46.879 --> 02:21:50.680 which films and television shows were coming out. Man, right now, 1671 02:21:50.760 --> 02:21:56.840 zombies are making most of the money, but the vampires are still still kicking. 1672 02:21:58.719 --> 02:22:01.879 Zombies have been hot pretty much ever since, like Sean of the Dead 1673 02:22:01.079 --> 02:22:07.000 ish. Yeah, and they just won't go away. They're relentless. You 1674 02:22:07.079 --> 02:22:11.840 know. They really are make money as video games, yeah, not a 1675 02:22:11.920 --> 02:22:15.319 lot. Zombies are better for video games, you can't. Empires are more 1676 02:22:15.319 --> 02:22:18.600 difficult. You can get great stuff like Castlevania, but you can't do the 1677 02:22:18.639 --> 02:22:22.719 shoot them up. It's very true. I mean that original Left for Dead 1678 02:22:22.959 --> 02:22:26.120 video game from like fifteen years ago or so, that game was so great. 1679 02:22:26.559 --> 02:22:31.360 Yeah, we got a few more left here, I think, or 1680 02:22:31.399 --> 02:22:35.760 maybe it's just one or two from Utopia, you know what. I think 1681 02:22:35.760 --> 02:22:39.520 This is the last one. This is You Can't Kill Meme. You Can't 1682 02:22:39.639 --> 02:22:45.799 Kill Meme from twenty twenty. This is a film by Haley Garigis. I 1683 02:22:45.840 --> 02:22:48.719 think it's pronounced. This is the back of the slip here. This is 1684 02:22:48.760 --> 02:22:54.719 a hybrid documentary feature film about the genesis of mimetic magic and its application by 1685 02:22:54.719 --> 02:23:00.319 the alt right in the United States. This is gonna have a sick steaming 1686 02:23:00.319 --> 02:23:03.879 at Q and a from the Fantasia Festival. It's a region free blue. 1687 02:23:03.920 --> 02:23:07.079 But other than that, not a lot on this disc. I'm curious to 1688 02:23:07.079 --> 02:23:13.159 see this doc though I'm not seen this one. This seems pretty crucial to 1689 02:23:13.239 --> 02:23:16.760 the times, and now that I know what it's about, the cover makes 1690 02:23:16.760 --> 02:23:20.920 a lot more sense, a whole lot more sense. Yeah, let's see. 1691 02:23:20.920 --> 02:23:26.440 It's starring Sean Bell, Billy Breugo or Breujo, Carol Mike Michayla Kirk 1692 02:23:26.559 --> 02:23:30.959 R. Peckwood, and Nick Peterson. Yeah. I've not even heard of 1693 02:23:30.959 --> 02:23:37.600 this one, but this sounds pretty great. And that was it for partner 1694 02:23:37.680 --> 02:23:43.319 labels. So again a strong month. I believe we are up to twenty 1695 02:23:43.360 --> 02:23:46.520 two different Vinegar Syndrome partner labels right now, which every single month we talked 1696 02:23:46.520 --> 02:23:50.319 about. It's a lot to keep up on, but again, the quality, 1697 02:23:52.040 --> 02:23:56.000 it's not taking away from anything by having twenty two partner labels. They 1698 02:23:56.000 --> 02:24:01.479 are all doing great work. Most of them are gosh, I can't even 1699 02:24:01.479 --> 02:24:07.000 say that. I think there's a good five or seven of them that don't 1700 02:24:07.040 --> 02:24:11.559 put out stuff all that often, and then there's a good eleven to fourteen 1701 02:24:11.639 --> 02:24:15.920 of them that seem to release at least one title every month. So it's 1702 02:24:16.399 --> 02:24:22.840 very great to see what we're getting from all these Yeah, and really for 1703 02:24:24.000 --> 02:24:28.040 people who really want to seek out films that they don't know a lot about, 1704 02:24:28.040 --> 02:24:31.959 it's so nice to have Vineger Syndrome as a hub that collects all this 1705 02:24:33.040 --> 02:24:41.719 stuff together, because so much easier than tracking things down. So major appreciation 1706 02:24:41.959 --> 02:24:46.639 to get Beneger's Syndrome for that great question from Video Store, I am right, 1707 02:24:46.680 --> 02:24:50.280 and assuming if something is region free, it probably won't see a release 1708 02:24:50.360 --> 02:24:56.319 in other territories. Not one hundred percent of the time, but that is 1709 02:24:56.399 --> 02:25:01.319 I'm gonna say that is generally true. There are there are some exceptions to 1710 02:25:01.360 --> 02:25:07.799 that, especially when we see things like the Air four four four release that 1711 02:25:07.000 --> 02:25:13.520 was tied in with the third Window Films release of The Wicked Forest and the 1712 02:25:13.559 --> 02:25:16.920 other one that came with that. Those I believe are both region free because 1713 02:25:16.159 --> 02:25:20.920 they worked together so it was time to came out at the near the exact 1714 02:25:20.959 --> 02:25:24.319 same time and no matter where you got it, you're getting mostly the same 1715 02:25:24.360 --> 02:25:28.399 content. But really it's all about the licenser. Some of them just playing, 1716 02:25:28.479 --> 02:25:33.440 don't care. And it seems like Australia gets a lot of region free 1717 02:25:33.479 --> 02:25:39.719 releases of titles that are coming out elsewhere, so it's not always correct, 1718 02:25:39.959 --> 02:25:50.079 but usually next up. Got a few more left. I mentioned earlier I 1719 02:25:50.079 --> 02:25:54.959 put out an interview with the guys from AGFA and I think it's a pretty 1720 02:25:54.000 --> 02:25:58.360 good one. Spend some time with that if you haven't. They do talk 1721 02:25:58.399 --> 02:26:01.959 about stuff coming out over the next year or so. They drop a couple 1722 02:26:03.000 --> 02:26:07.000 of things that they're working on which are pretty exciting and they haven't mentioned it 1723 02:26:07.040 --> 02:26:13.120 elsewhere, so a little exclusive there. But things that are getting re released. 1724 02:26:13.360 --> 02:26:18.000 We mentioned the Keno lawber Mill Creek re releases. This is another one 1725 02:26:18.040 --> 02:26:22.079 coming out, Eyes of Lower Mars from nineteen seventy eight. Genuinely a fantastic 1726 02:26:22.120 --> 02:26:26.319 film. This is one of the better ones out there from around this time, 1727 02:26:26.920 --> 02:26:31.360 and we got the special features that were on the previous release, but 1728 02:26:31.600 --> 02:26:35.840 nothing on here is new, and that Mill Creek release is not super old, 1729 02:26:35.959 --> 02:26:39.479 so it's really odd how they seem to have picked up a handful of 1730 02:26:39.520 --> 02:26:43.479 titles that were just recently released by mill Creek, and some of them are 1731 02:26:43.840 --> 02:26:46.719 less than like two and a half years old, and they're already getting brand 1732 02:26:46.760 --> 02:26:52.200 new releases. I'm very curious as to why or what they think they're getting 1733 02:26:52.200 --> 02:26:56.040 out of that good film. Have you seen Eyes of Laura Mars? Oh 1734 02:26:56.120 --> 02:27:00.840 yeah, John Carpenter one of his earliest writing credits. And you know Urban 1735 02:27:00.879 --> 02:27:05.440 Kershner is king of the sequels, right the Empire strikes back Robo Cup two. 1736 02:27:07.600 --> 02:27:13.120 This is a nice little thriller, you know if Faye Donaway and Tolly 1737 02:27:13.159 --> 02:27:18.520 Jones are really good and it's pretty early in Tommy Lee Jones' career, very 1738 02:27:18.559 --> 02:27:22.440 young. Yeah, this is like right after he did Rolling Thunder I think, 1739 02:27:24.879 --> 02:27:30.319 which I just watched the other night. That holds up nice Hiley Jones 1740 02:27:30.360 --> 02:27:31.959 has some of the best lines. I'm gonna go kill a lot of people. 1741 02:27:35.040 --> 02:27:39.479 So yeah, I has a lot of Mars. I don't think I'll 1742 02:27:39.479 --> 02:27:43.159 be upgrading my copy, but I might watch it again here now that's getting 1743 02:27:43.159 --> 02:27:48.879 re released. Highly recommend. This movie is basically what we're getting at yet 1744 02:27:48.920 --> 02:27:54.239 another one, But this is another interesting one where we get some new special 1745 02:27:54.280 --> 02:27:58.079 features. Happy Birthday to Me is getting a release from Keno on October eighteenth, 1746 02:27:58.280 --> 02:28:03.360 and it's one of the most iconic imageries from a film cover of all 1747 02:28:03.399 --> 02:28:09.120 time. I swear this poster was basically required to be in every video store 1748 02:28:09.600 --> 02:28:15.319 for like five years. That was in the contract or something. Dude says 1749 02:28:15.520 --> 02:28:18.280 Keno in this Mill Creek thing is making me wonder if I should keep waiting 1750 02:28:18.319 --> 02:28:20.239 on Renegades. I haven't picked it up yet. That's a good question. 1751 02:28:22.879 --> 02:28:26.680 This gets a new interview with actress Tracy E. Bergman and a new audio 1752 02:28:26.680 --> 02:28:33.079 commentary by co screenwriter Timothy Bond, moderated by Daniel Kreamer, and not a 1753 02:28:33.079 --> 02:28:37.120 whole lot else on here. Happy Birthday to Me, it's a it's not 1754 02:28:37.159 --> 02:28:39.440 what I love, it's it's fun. What do you think A Happy Birthday 1755 02:28:39.440 --> 02:28:45.200 to me? Well, as a Jay Lee Thompson completist, you know you 1756 02:28:45.280 --> 02:28:50.280 can't. You can't go through his whole career without making a pit stop with 1757 02:28:50.319 --> 02:28:56.520 late Charles Bronson and Happy Birthday to me. It's not. It's not my 1758 02:28:56.639 --> 02:29:03.159 favorite movie in the world, not my favorite slasher, but uh, I 1759 02:29:03.280 --> 02:29:11.719 recall enjoying it and it's it's I would say it's kind of indifferently made. 1760 02:29:11.559 --> 02:29:22.040 You know, Glenn Ford doesn't look too happy to be there. But you 1761 02:29:22.120 --> 02:29:28.360 know, we're talking about Jollo's and the Jolly and and the formula and kind 1762 02:29:28.360 --> 02:29:35.520 of picking out interesting bits from the from the dreg you know, Happy Birthday. 1763 02:29:35.120 --> 02:29:41.280 Yeah, Jamie Thompson isn't a derated director. He's fantastic. And even 1764 02:29:41.319 --> 02:29:48.120 the late Charles Bronson movies that have some problematic politics or are taught action movies 1765 02:29:48.159 --> 02:29:54.079 and and get the most out of the budgets. Happy Birthday to me though, 1766 02:29:54.159 --> 02:29:58.079 is you know, it's kind of a middling slasher movie. If you 1767 02:29:58.159 --> 02:30:01.879 like slasher movies, this is gonna be fun watch for you. It's not 1768 02:30:01.920 --> 02:30:05.840 gonna like convert anybody to the genre. Now, okay, but the poster 1769 02:30:07.360 --> 02:30:13.639 iconic I swear this movie has had gosh so many releases on every format. 1770 02:30:13.719 --> 02:30:16.680 This is like one of the most released movies. At least it feels like 1771 02:30:20.799 --> 02:30:24.959 next up. Speaking of AGFA, we just spoke on them. Smut Without 1772 02:30:24.000 --> 02:30:28.520 Smut, Volume one is coming from One to One Film's UK as part of 1773 02:30:28.559 --> 02:30:31.799 their AGVA partnership. Now, one of the reasons that this might be interesting 1774 02:30:31.920 --> 02:30:37.520 is that this was a fully limited release in the US, So the title 1775 02:30:37.680 --> 02:30:43.319 is a print, which means if you want these two titles, this is 1776 02:30:43.319 --> 02:30:46.920 gonna be the cheapest way to get these. And I believe in the US 1777 02:30:46.920 --> 02:30:50.000 it's fully fully gone out of print. You're not able to get this unless 1778 02:30:50.000 --> 02:30:56.399 you're getting it secondhand. Again, this is literally the the X rated genre 1779 02:30:56.479 --> 02:31:03.000 movies with the X rated bits removed. These are interesting. And then they 1780 02:31:03.040 --> 02:31:07.840 have the smut without smut versions and the uncut versions both included if you want 1781 02:31:07.840 --> 02:31:11.639 to see everything on there with them without smut. Yes, they also have 1782 02:31:11.719 --> 02:31:18.440 the commentary track on Things to Come with the AGFA team, which is one 1783 02:31:18.440 --> 02:31:22.399 of the better listens because they you know, they put a lot of love 1784 02:31:22.440 --> 02:31:24.639 into stuff like this, so it's really nice to hear from the people that 1785 02:31:24.680 --> 02:31:31.760 are restoring us and putting it out what they think of the film. Yeah, 1786 02:31:31.799 --> 02:31:37.520 I missed, I missed the set without smut but went out of print, 1787 02:31:37.600 --> 02:31:41.799 so this will be a good chance for me. Check these out definitely. 1788 02:31:43.639 --> 02:31:46.280 And then another AGFA title coming out from One on one Films in the 1789 02:31:46.360 --> 02:31:50.040 UK is Scary Tales, which, I gotta be honest is one of my 1790 02:31:50.120 --> 02:31:56.879 favorite AGPA releases. I think that this is one of their more more fun 1791 02:31:56.920 --> 02:32:01.239 titles. I will really point out they've got this notice here. This movie 1792 02:32:01.319 --> 02:32:05.719 was shot on VHS and edited on tape, and it definitely shows it's not 1793 02:32:05.840 --> 02:32:11.200 the highest quality, but it is a little anthology film and it's fun. 1794 02:32:11.600 --> 02:32:15.639 And then on top of that, they've got the commentary track with the director 1795 02:32:15.680 --> 02:32:20.319 on here. There's a demo version which is really interesting. They've got vintage 1796 02:32:20.360 --> 02:32:24.680 TV promo appearances with the director which I watched on the agfadisk here from the 1797 02:32:24.760 --> 02:32:30.040 US and it's hilarious seeing these guys on like a public access show with an 1798 02:32:30.079 --> 02:32:35.479 actual news team and really interesting take on it. And then there's a bonus 1799 02:32:35.479 --> 02:32:39.239 movie on here from nineteen ninety four called Darkest Soul plus early horror shorts from 1800 02:32:39.239 --> 02:32:43.920 the director. This is one of those discs that just has everything encapsulated on 1801 02:32:43.920 --> 02:32:48.360 this to make this a giant, giant package for everybody that purchases it. 1802 02:32:48.399 --> 02:32:52.639 Definitely recommended from me. Have you seen Scary Tails yet? No? It 1803 02:32:52.680 --> 02:32:58.760 looks really cool. I saw that. Oh I can't remember the label now, 1804 02:32:58.319 --> 02:33:03.680 but they've announced a limited edition of Mazes and Monsters, you know, 1805 02:33:03.760 --> 02:33:09.840 the made for TV Dungeons and Dragons, Satanic scare movie with young Tom Hanks. 1806 02:33:09.920 --> 02:33:15.360 Yep, Plumeria Pictures. Yeah, ah, that's what. That might 1807 02:33:15.399 --> 02:33:20.360 make a good double feature with this, although actually Darkest Soul might make a 1808 02:33:20.360 --> 02:33:24.680 double feature with it. Mazes Monsters isn't very good. I mean, Scary 1809 02:33:24.760 --> 02:33:28.239 Tales is certainly not the highest quality either, but it's it's certainly fun and 1810 02:33:28.319 --> 02:33:33.680 a nice little snapshot into that time. Nineteen ninety three was a wild time 1811 02:33:33.719 --> 02:33:39.959 for shot on tape stuff for sure. Then Second Site has announced their next 1812 02:33:41.159 --> 02:33:43.319 limited edition title. We talked about this a couple of weeks ago, but 1813 02:33:43.360 --> 02:33:48.479 we got the beauty shots here and the date and all that. So you 1814 02:33:48.520 --> 02:33:52.200 can pre order this now from Second Site. And I'm only seeing now that 1815 02:33:52.280 --> 02:33:56.319 we don't have an actual release date on there. Let me see what they 1816 02:33:56.360 --> 02:34:01.239 say on their website. This is coming on September twenty six from Second Sight. 1817 02:34:01.440 --> 02:34:05.520 This is a fairly new film. This is from twenty twenty one. 1818 02:34:05.360 --> 02:34:11.000 A brutal enforcer returns home after a ten year absence to embark on a gruesome 1819 02:34:11.120 --> 02:34:16.319 quest for vengeance against the crime family that kidnapped his son and left him for 1820 02:34:16.440 --> 02:34:20.760 dead. Now, everybody that I've heard that have seen this film seems to 1821 02:34:20.319 --> 02:34:24.520 really love it and think it's one of the better modern crime films. And 1822 02:34:24.559 --> 02:34:26.680 somehow I've never seen it. I never even heard of it before they announced 1823 02:34:26.719 --> 02:34:30.479 it. I just completely missed out on this one. Have you seen this 1824 02:34:30.520 --> 02:34:35.840 one? No? But when I saw the announcement for this release, I 1825 02:34:35.920 --> 02:34:41.559 got kind of excited because this, again, like possession movies, this is 1826 02:34:41.920 --> 02:34:48.079 a sub genre of action sci fi western movies that I don't know. I 1827 02:34:48.200 --> 02:34:58.200 just get into that long, simmering revenge film. I'm excited about that. 1828 02:35:00.120 --> 02:35:03.040 Packaging looks great, really cool. Yeah, nice art on the cover of 1829 02:35:03.079 --> 02:35:07.920 this one. Again, lots of stuff. Second Site always does great with 1830 02:35:07.959 --> 02:35:11.319 these. They've got audio commentary with the writer and director and some actors, 1831 02:35:11.639 --> 02:35:16.479 new interview with the director, an interview with the producer, and then an 1832 02:35:16.559 --> 02:35:18.719 interview with another one of the producers. Then, of course, their limited 1833 02:35:18.840 --> 02:35:24.559 edition will have that big hard box set with the softcover book on the inside 1834 02:35:24.600 --> 02:35:30.440 with new essays from Andrew Graves, Elena Alazak, and Megan Navarro, plus 1835 02:35:30.559 --> 02:35:35.479 the six collectors art cards you see there. It is currently available to pre 1836 02:35:35.639 --> 02:35:39.159 order, and it's relatively cheap, I gotta be honest. Twenty four ninety 1837 02:35:39.239 --> 02:35:48.120 nine British pounds. That's not that bad. And finally, coming on October 1838 02:35:48.159 --> 02:35:54.879 eleventh, from Keno, we get Blue Iguana from nineteen eighty eight. Again, 1839 02:35:54.799 --> 02:35:58.159 I feel like I'm just saying this a lot tonight. This is one 1840 02:35:58.239 --> 02:36:03.799 that I somehow have not seen before. We've got a decent cast on here 1841 02:36:03.959 --> 02:36:07.559 with somebody named Dean Stockwell. Some people may have heard of Jessica Harper from 1842 02:36:07.600 --> 02:36:16.760 Suspiria's in this. We've got Flee in this colorful eighties neo noir, hilarious 1843 02:36:16.760 --> 02:36:20.959 spoof that's part mystery, part thriller and all fun. And on top of 1844 02:36:20.000 --> 02:36:24.239 that, Dylan McDermott is in this. He stars as a Vince Holloway, 1845 02:36:24.600 --> 02:36:28.159 a poor excuse for a bounty hunter with a problem. The people he tries 1846 02:36:28.200 --> 02:36:33.200 to bring back alive keep winding up dead, and in the bounty biz, 1847 02:36:33.319 --> 02:36:35.879 no pulse means no paycheck. So Vince accepts a high risk offer from the 1848 02:36:35.920 --> 02:36:41.760 IRS to recover twenty million dollars from a crooked bank and the sleepy little town 1849 02:36:41.799 --> 02:36:46.200 of Diablo, Mexico. Once of It's hits the Diablo, he discovers a 1850 02:36:46.239 --> 02:36:50.559 notorious bar called the Blue Iguana. It's loaded with thugs, killers, smugglers 1851 02:36:50.559 --> 02:36:54.079 and evil women. Vince feels right at home, but he'd feel more like 1852 02:36:54.120 --> 02:36:58.639 making a run for it if he knew what awaits him. This has a 1853 02:36:58.719 --> 02:37:05.040 trailer on it, and that is it. Here is the inner art that 1854 02:37:05.040 --> 02:37:09.680 they're also going to be using, and that comes on October eleventh. Wow, 1855 02:37:09.719 --> 02:37:13.399 I've seen this one. This So this is flee halfway between Suburbia and 1856 02:37:13.479 --> 02:37:18.120 The Big Lebowski or no, the chase. I think the chase came between 1857 02:37:18.840 --> 02:37:24.840 what a Cast? Yeah, and I don't say this because Dean Stockwell is 1858 02:37:24.879 --> 02:37:31.600 in it, but the premise sounds somewhat Lynchian, you know, a bit 1859 02:37:31.760 --> 02:37:35.440 yeah, so kind of wild at hardish. Yeah, yeah, let's check 1860 02:37:35.479 --> 02:37:41.959 this out. I know nothing. This one certainly looks fun to me. 1861 02:37:41.280 --> 02:37:46.120 And again I'll throw out what Stan says. Right there, Keena Lober is 1862 02:37:46.159 --> 02:37:48.600 just doing it up right. They seem to always do, I mean, 1863 02:37:48.920 --> 02:37:52.280 putting out like five or six titles seemingly a week. You kind of have 1864 02:37:52.360 --> 02:37:58.040 to do a lot at a time. Christian, I barely beat you there. 1865 02:37:58.239 --> 02:38:01.920 I just threw out wilder heart could Yeah, as we always do. 1866 02:38:03.200 --> 02:38:07.399 Let's go over what is coming out next week on a disc just in case 1867 02:38:07.440 --> 02:38:11.760 you forgot, and then we will go over a fairly quick Q and A 1868 02:38:11.920 --> 02:38:16.879 time with Will if anybody has anything else from the video. So next Tuesday 1869 02:38:16.920 --> 02:38:20.879 we are getting Heat on four K, which seemingly has some people saying that 1870 02:38:20.920 --> 02:38:24.680 it's too dark on the four K, But I gotta wonder how much of 1871 02:38:24.719 --> 02:38:31.040 that is up to people using either poor poor screens on their TV or not 1872 02:38:31.200 --> 02:38:35.399 using great equipment. Too many people are using like a PS five to play 1873 02:38:35.399 --> 02:38:41.600 four K films or Xbox one X or whatever. I yeah, you got 1874 02:38:41.639 --> 02:38:43.520 to do it right if you really want the highest picture quality on these. 1875 02:38:46.520 --> 02:38:50.000 We're getting Event Horizon in four K. Both of those are studio discs. 1876 02:38:50.079 --> 02:38:52.680 Of course. Crimes of the Future finally comes out next Tuesday. That got 1877 02:38:52.680 --> 02:38:58.520 to mention earlier from US Sonic The Hedgehog two four K. My kids been 1878 02:38:58.600 --> 02:39:03.840 dying for that for months. Men from A twenty four and Alex Garland is 1879 02:39:03.840 --> 02:39:07.239 the director on that one that's finally getting the blue release. I'm not gonna 1880 02:39:07.239 --> 02:39:13.159 mention dooman four K we got from Paramount Presents Back to the Beach, which 1881 02:39:13.239 --> 02:39:16.079 a lot of people seem to be waiting on Flying Guillotine too, from eighty 1882 02:39:16.079 --> 02:39:20.159 eight Films. A lot of people getting that one in already. Same with 1883 02:39:20.479 --> 02:39:24.200 Doctor Lamb from Unearthed Films. We got some reviews popping up on that one. 1884 02:39:24.239 --> 02:39:28.559 Finally, from the film Detective Battle of the Worlds from nineteen sixty one, 1885 02:39:30.719 --> 02:39:35.079 the next code red title made in Sweden with Christina Lindbergh. That's kind 1886 02:39:35.079 --> 02:39:37.639 of a big one for a lot of people. That was finally getting released. 1887 02:39:39.239 --> 02:39:43.000 Down to Earth with Chris Rock. That's one I remember a lot of 1888 02:39:43.000 --> 02:39:46.479 people loving back then Vivo. I saw this one earlier this year. Actually 1889 02:39:46.479 --> 02:39:50.840 not that bad. I've got kids, so I see a lot of these 1890 02:39:50.879 --> 02:39:56.079 animated films. I've seen Worse State of Grace with Sean Penn and ed Ed 1891 02:39:56.200 --> 02:40:01.479 Harris and Gary Oldman is getting its release. La Age jabber I mentioned that 1892 02:40:01.520 --> 02:40:07.079 one earlier that is coming out from Visual Vengeance famous TNA two with Darcy, 1893 02:40:07.159 --> 02:40:11.079 the male girl from the Last Drive in That is Full Moon putting that one 1894 02:40:11.079 --> 02:40:16.559 out, and that seems to be selling like gangbusters for a lot of retailers 1895 02:40:16.639 --> 02:40:22.879 right now. I'll tell you why. In addition to the lovely Talentsed Darcy, 1896 02:40:24.200 --> 02:40:30.319 Jacqueline Levelle, the Pride of Full Moon, video aim end to that 1897 02:40:30.760 --> 02:40:35.000 from Keno we're getting I believe these are both Keno little Man What Now and 1898 02:40:35.159 --> 02:40:39.319 Next Time we Love? This one Next Time we Love has James Stewart in 1899 02:40:39.399 --> 02:40:43.360 it. And then I think we're getting some re releases, which is why 1900 02:40:43.520 --> 02:40:46.120 Murder Made Easy This is from Screen Team Releasing. I think that's getting a 1901 02:40:46.159 --> 02:40:50.360 re release Yellow Brick Road. I can't remember who put that one out, 1902 02:40:50.360 --> 02:40:52.879 but I've heard some people say that's a decent one. I need to check 1903 02:40:52.920 --> 02:40:58.879 that one out. And that's the bulk of them as far as I remember. 1904 02:41:01.840 --> 02:41:07.000 Oh, I apologize. I forgot Trauma was releasing their version of Death 1905 02:41:07.040 --> 02:41:15.879 by Temptation. Yeah, that is what next week looks like. So, 1906 02:41:15.959 --> 02:41:18.479 now that we are done with announcements and what's coming out next week, any 1907 02:41:18.600 --> 02:41:24.760 questions for Will on Toby Hooper on our discussion that we released last week or 1908 02:41:24.799 --> 02:41:28.000 anything else. And as you type those out, Will, I think you 1909 02:41:28.079 --> 02:41:30.440 got some stuff to talk about that's coming up soon. You want to share 1910 02:41:30.440 --> 02:41:37.520 with the class what's going on in the world. Well, I'm kind of 1911 02:41:37.559 --> 02:41:43.680 excited. Tomorrow I'm going to be recording a podcast sent him a Death Cult 1912 02:41:43.719 --> 02:41:50.000 with Adam Boger about we're going to talk about Wes Craven's television films, which 1913 02:41:50.000 --> 02:41:56.719 I'm pretty excited about. Yeah, it's I'm working on a project about writing 1914 02:41:56.760 --> 02:42:05.639 about those films, Summer of Fear, Chiller, Invitation to Help Casebusters, 1915 02:42:05.680 --> 02:42:11.239 and the unreleased Night Visions. I think that's all, and so I'm excited 1916 02:42:11.239 --> 02:42:15.319 about that. So that'll become an album to the podcast universe in a week 1917 02:42:15.440 --> 02:42:18.559 or so, and and hopefully that that bit of writing will be coming out 1918 02:42:18.639 --> 02:42:24.040 next year. We'll see. Oh yeah, I was mentioning to you before 1919 02:42:24.040 --> 02:42:28.440 we got started. There's a new book coming out around Christmas about Todd Browning. 1920 02:42:28.879 --> 02:42:33.879 I'm really excited to be part of. Did some research on his film 1921 02:42:33.040 --> 02:42:41.200 Devil Big Todd Browning guy. Anybody who's into classic macabb and horror, I 1922 02:42:41.239 --> 02:42:48.159 hope is too. Yeah, So those are some some things that I'm working 1923 02:42:48.159 --> 02:42:52.120 on, excited about, really looking forward to seeing how people respond to the 1924 02:42:52.200 --> 02:42:56.120 I'm Dangerous Tonight Blue write, which I should mention Stan Geezy Is is also 1925 02:42:56.159 --> 02:43:03.920 a part of He was a videographer on the film and there is and contributed 1926 02:43:05.239 --> 02:43:11.280 amazing behind the scenes footage of Toby Hooper directing and casting crew working. So 1927 02:43:11.799 --> 02:43:18.040 there's my little promotional real. As I said last time, all the links 1928 02:43:18.079 --> 02:43:20.920 for will are in the description below, where to follow him, where to 1929 02:43:20.959 --> 02:43:24.319 get some of the books that he's helped edit. And then on top of 1930 02:43:24.360 --> 02:43:28.680 that, the I'm Dangerous Tonight Blu ray available now pretty much everywhere. Keina 1931 02:43:28.760 --> 02:43:33.680 Lober has distribution everywhere, so make sure you check that out. Toby Hooper 1932 02:43:33.000 --> 02:43:37.239 made for TV film. We got our first question for you, what movie 1933 02:43:37.280 --> 02:43:41.600 do you want to see? Vin Ger Centram put out the most Well, 1934 02:43:41.600 --> 02:43:45.639 I think they're already going to answer that question with Texas Chainsaw and answer for 1935 02:43:45.680 --> 02:43:52.760 two. But you know, I don't want to sound like a program both. 1936 02:43:52.879 --> 02:43:56.719 The PI Karama label is the only place I could think of that would 1937 02:43:56.760 --> 02:44:03.680 release, that could release the uh that could hear welcome stand uh. The 1938 02:44:03.680 --> 02:44:09.879 Peak Aarama label is the only place that I think could potentially release Wes Craven's 1939 02:44:09.920 --> 02:44:16.440 pornographic film. West Craven directed a film under the non diplome abe Snake called 1940 02:44:16.319 --> 02:44:20.920 several titles, but I think Angela is the fireworks woman is the most common 1941 02:44:20.959 --> 02:44:28.399 one. And he did that between here right, you know, he did 1942 02:44:28.399 --> 02:44:35.120 it right before between Last House and Left and he'lls have eyes and the film 1943 02:44:35.959 --> 02:44:41.760 features a lot of the themes about family and the kind of rot of the 1944 02:44:41.799 --> 02:44:48.799 American middle class that that you see in his his uh wu on movies. 1945 02:44:48.879 --> 02:44:54.639 So I'd love to that'd probably be be the one. I actually did it 1946 02:44:54.760 --> 02:45:01.040 a two hour long you know with on Christian's hobby blog, which we went 1947 02:45:01.079 --> 02:45:07.319 through about forty different films we wanted to see released in high definitions. So 1948 02:45:07.920 --> 02:45:11.559 nice if you want to kill some time. That'd be worth checking out too. 1949 02:45:11.760 --> 02:45:18.159 The the Wes Craven porn film that he just brought up that has been 1950 02:45:18.840 --> 02:45:20.680 guessed by a lot of people as coming from Vinegar Syndrome with some of the 1951 02:45:20.719 --> 02:45:24.479 hints that they've put out previously, and it's never came to fruition. I 1952 02:45:24.879 --> 02:45:28.840 would love to see that. It would be nice just as a hey, 1953 02:45:28.959 --> 02:45:33.200 let's get all of you know, this incredible director's films out there. It 1954 02:45:33.239 --> 02:45:35.639 would it would be really nice to see overall. Yeah, you know the 1955 02:45:37.000 --> 02:45:41.680 little feature on the Vinegar Syndrome website where they lets you suggest a movie every 1956 02:45:41.719 --> 02:45:48.639 six or eight months or so. I'll have just like one too many glasses 1957 02:45:48.639 --> 02:45:52.120 of wine and I'll get on there and I'll say, Angela's the fireworks, 1958 02:45:52.159 --> 02:45:54.040 Will I'll type it in And then the next question is do you have any 1959 02:45:54.079 --> 02:45:56.520 idea where the film elements are? Do you have any access to them? 1960 02:45:56.559 --> 02:46:01.280 I'm like, no, I just I'm asking you to do all the work. 1961 02:46:03.399 --> 02:46:07.639 Please do it all in your classes? Do you talk about Hitchcock a 1962 02:46:07.639 --> 02:46:09.680 lot? Kind of cliche for a film teacher, but he was obviously a 1963 02:46:09.680 --> 02:46:15.159 groundbreaking filmmaker. And the reason that Birds two is such an insult to film 1964 02:46:15.360 --> 02:46:18.159 lovers is everybody cool with Gus van Sant Psycho though, would be cool with 1965 02:46:18.200 --> 02:46:28.319 that? Yeah. I actually don't teach Hitchcock a lot, just because the 1966 02:46:28.360 --> 02:46:37.159 older were established tenured professors tend to focus on the cannon right filmmakers. But 1967 02:46:37.239 --> 02:46:41.879 I usually when I teach Hitchcock, I usually do a lesser known film, 1968 02:46:41.959 --> 02:46:50.040 like The Lady Vanishes is when I recently did. I'm a big fan of 1969 02:46:50.559 --> 02:47:00.079 Frenzy, so I try to get slipped that one in. There sabotage, 1970 02:47:00.200 --> 02:47:07.200 So I tend to leave the most well known titles to other faculty. And 1971 02:47:07.879 --> 02:47:11.079 you know, my tendency is always to show the stuff that they're not going 1972 02:47:11.120 --> 02:47:16.639 to see anywhere else, whether obviously why I teach my cult film scores. 1973 02:47:16.680 --> 02:47:20.440 That specifically was for when I teach, you know, even film appreciation, 1974 02:47:22.280 --> 02:47:26.360 and my job is to teach basic film technique. Film for them. I 1975 02:47:26.360 --> 02:47:28.639 can show Citizen Kane, and I often do, but I could also show 1976 02:47:31.040 --> 02:47:33.840 The Hitchhiker by Idolipino. I can show Pale Blood, in which I'm going 1977 02:47:33.879 --> 02:47:41.600 to show in October for HALLOWEENA so I always try to get stuff off the 1978 02:47:41.639 --> 02:47:45.000 beating pat. I love Hitchcock I've got fifty some of his films in my 1979 02:47:45.040 --> 02:47:50.520 collection. Jeff says Lifeboat has underlooked. I think it definitely is got to 1980 02:47:50.639 --> 02:47:56.319 I think that's got to release from Keno I remember, right. And then 1981 02:47:56.680 --> 02:48:01.079 Christian says, watch Sabatur by Hitchcock recently and loved it. It's as good, 1982 02:48:01.120 --> 02:48:07.879 but you also have to see Sabotage. It's too. Speaking of Christian, 1983 02:48:07.920 --> 02:48:09.559 he says, who's a cult director? That you have more exposure by 1984 02:48:09.600 --> 02:48:20.479 these labels, more exposure tough questions. That is a tough one. Well, 1985 02:48:20.520 --> 02:48:24.079 now that Jeff Canoe is getting his day in court, we can, 1986 02:48:24.719 --> 02:48:31.360 uh, we can try to highlight some others. You know, I'm gonna 1987 02:48:31.360 --> 02:48:39.920 have to think about that question for a second actually, because you know, 1988 02:48:41.719 --> 02:48:50.959 I would like to see some directors who haven't had smaller filmographies that haven't been 1989 02:48:50.000 --> 02:48:54.159 explored, like Deborah Brock who did Summer Party Massacre too. She also did 1990 02:48:54.239 --> 02:48:58.360 Rock and Roll High School Forever, which needs it needs a good release because 1991 02:48:58.360 --> 02:49:05.079 that movie is bonkers. I'd like to see a little love over there. 1992 02:49:07.479 --> 02:49:11.559 Gosh, well they got out Adams and covered Ted Michaels. We need some 1993 02:49:11.559 --> 02:49:16.680 more Ted Michaels films released in high definition. It was a great documentary, 1994 02:49:16.719 --> 02:49:20.920 The Wild World The t ten. Michael's out ten years ago. Most of 1995 02:49:20.920 --> 02:49:26.639 his stuff is still only available on DVD. Who puts out the corpscribers? 1996 02:49:26.680 --> 02:49:33.719 Is that vineger syndrome? Yeah, so at least have that. Is there 1997 02:49:33.760 --> 02:49:39.959 anywhere we can find your list of favorite films? I don't have a list 1998 02:49:41.840 --> 02:49:43.959 any sort of like blog or anything like that you can plain people to, 1999 02:49:45.520 --> 02:49:48.280 you know, I really need to do that. I was telling I was 2000 02:49:48.280 --> 02:49:52.079 telling you last time we talked to I've just recently got a Twitter. I've 2001 02:49:52.159 --> 02:49:56.239 stayed largely off the internet. I technically have a letterbox tocount. I just 2002 02:49:56.280 --> 02:50:00.680 haven't really done anything with it. I need. I'm gonna have to do 2003 02:50:00.760 --> 02:50:07.040 that soon. I'm pretty pretty sure that's like standard issue for professors now you 2004 02:50:07.079 --> 02:50:11.959 have to have a website hawk your wares and promote your work. So coming 2005 02:50:13.040 --> 02:50:18.360 soon, coming soon. But you know, shows like this, I pretty 2006 02:50:18.399 --> 02:50:22.680 much say all I have to say. Here's a good one favorite film book 2007 02:50:22.719 --> 02:50:31.559 of all all time American Twilight The Cinema of Toby Hooper. That's a tough 2008 02:50:31.600 --> 02:50:35.840 one too. I I'm not trying to be difficult with the answer, but 2009 02:50:37.399 --> 02:50:41.200 it really kind of depends on the sort of sub genre film book. The 2010 02:50:41.559 --> 02:50:48.040 book that really got me into film studies was David Skull and Elias Savada's Dark 2011 02:50:48.079 --> 02:50:56.840 Carnival, The Biography of Todd Browning. But you know, I've been very 2012 02:50:56.879 --> 02:51:03.200 fortunate to be a student of and now a friend to David A. Cook, 2013 02:51:03.440 --> 02:51:11.600 who wrote the History of Narrative Film, which is probably the best single 2014 02:51:11.680 --> 02:51:16.760 volume I think history book. That's pretty good read too. It's about eight 2015 02:51:16.799 --> 02:51:20.760 hundred pages, so it's not it's not going to be in one sitting or 2016 02:51:20.799 --> 02:51:26.879 anything. I really like the work of Gwendel and Audrey Foster. She writes 2017 02:51:26.920 --> 02:51:37.040 a lot of you know, really great analyzes and reclamations of underseen films. 2018 02:51:37.120 --> 02:51:43.600 Especially by women directors, directors of color, Wheeler Winston Dixon, who's written 2019 02:51:43.600 --> 02:51:46.559 like a hundred books. They're all really good at Christopher Shared, who's a 2020 02:51:46.600 --> 02:51:52.159 big influence on me. This is just going to keep going, so I'll 2021 02:51:52.239 --> 02:51:54.760 stop there. But oh yeah, you know, one last one I really 2022 02:51:54.799 --> 02:51:58.959 like is Gary Rhodes. He writes a lot of great stuff. Really, 2023 02:51:58.799 --> 02:52:09.280 his research is really deep. Dives into the archives. He goes through drafts 2024 02:52:09.319 --> 02:52:13.000 of scripts, noting every change. He finds all of the memos and really 2025 02:52:13.040 --> 02:52:18.559 pieces together how films got made. He is the authoritative biographer of Bill and 2026 02:52:18.600 --> 02:52:22.959 Legosi's written four or five books on ASI. All right, I'll stop there. 2027 02:52:24.159 --> 02:52:28.000 Film books are always difficult for me to read because I end up taking 2028 02:52:28.000 --> 02:52:33.000 notes and just want to go deep dive into thirty four different movies before starting 2029 02:52:33.000 --> 02:52:35.559 into the next chapter. Yeah, it's one of those things where you highlight 2030 02:52:35.639 --> 02:52:39.840 every sentence. Definitely, Video stores is that you've seen the Art of Dying, 2031 02:52:39.840 --> 02:52:43.600 And if so, why didn't it win the best picture. I've not 2032 02:52:43.719 --> 02:52:48.440 seen the Heart of Dying yet. Ever since I had kids, I've started 2033 02:52:48.520 --> 02:52:52.280 lagging about five or six years behind films as they get released. Yep. 2034 02:52:54.479 --> 02:52:56.680 But I'll put that to the top of my queue, and as soon as 2035 02:52:56.680 --> 02:53:01.239 I see it, I will answer the question is what on wait? What 2036 02:53:01.239 --> 02:53:07.399 what won Best Picture? What year? Was that? I don't even know 2037 02:53:09.360 --> 02:53:11.319 h thoughts on The Mangler. It's one of the few films where I actually 2038 02:53:11.360 --> 02:53:18.399 fell asleep in the theater. Stands gonna come for you. The Mangler is 2039 02:53:18.440 --> 02:53:24.520 definitely not Toby Hooper's best movie, but it's one that I think rewards rewatching. 2040 02:53:26.520 --> 02:53:33.159 That's a real shame that that was his last theatrical release. I think 2041 02:53:33.159 --> 02:53:37.200 that the New Shout Factory release, and I think Ero just did a UK 2042 02:53:37.360 --> 02:53:43.639 release that's got a USA by Scalptifolia, who is the most effusive champion of 2043 02:53:43.639 --> 02:53:50.319 that film I've ever met. I think when you when you get to revisit 2044 02:53:50.399 --> 02:53:54.920 it and kind of think about it in context of his other films, there 2045 02:53:56.159 --> 02:53:58.799 Mangler improves. I think, you know, a lot of it is the 2046 02:54:00.079 --> 02:54:03.319 concept kind of throws people off, like it's a haunted laund you know, 2047 02:54:05.319 --> 02:54:09.879 but it's not. It's not that. It's it's the machinery that that grinds 2048 02:54:11.399 --> 02:54:16.959 a working class to gristle, you know. It's it's it's really a very 2049 02:54:18.040 --> 02:54:24.600 gooey metaphor for you know, in the book Americans, Twilight with two essays 2050 02:54:24.639 --> 02:54:26.760 on the main load. It's the only film that gets two essays, and 2051 02:54:28.360 --> 02:54:33.360 one analyzes it as a There's a lot of different things, I'm boiling down 2052 02:54:33.719 --> 02:54:37.559 fine. One analyzes as a metaphor for the Hollywood machinery, and then another 2053 02:54:37.639 --> 02:54:45.319 more broadly capitalism and in general. So I'd recommend getting the book and rewatching 2054 02:54:45.360 --> 02:54:50.360 the ad as as obtuse of a question this is, do you think there 2055 02:54:50.479 --> 02:55:05.879 is a clear Toby Hooper like objectively best made film and worst made film. 2056 02:55:05.000 --> 02:55:09.200 I mean, he's tempting to say to the Texas Chainsaw Mascer is the best 2057 02:55:09.200 --> 02:55:18.200 made film because it's just so perfectly formed, you know, But certainly Hooper 2058 02:55:18.239 --> 02:55:22.360 had higher budgets after not much higher, but higher budgets after that, that 2059 02:55:22.840 --> 02:55:28.520 she could make the argument that on a technical level, other films are more 2060 02:55:28.559 --> 02:55:39.600 accomplished. Toby Hooper's worst film mhm. I mean, for me, probably 2061 02:55:39.600 --> 02:55:43.799 Eggshells is the least entertaining. I'm going to look at, you know, 2062 02:55:43.879 --> 02:55:50.000 his twenty thirty some film filmography. That's not the first one want to choose, 2063 02:55:50.120 --> 02:55:56.040 but even it's pretty well he was a super talented guy on a technical 2064 02:55:56.120 --> 02:56:00.959 level, and the people he collaborated with were just top notch. He didn't 2065 02:56:01.000 --> 02:56:05.200 he didn't work with a lot of you know, shitty editors or or or 2066 02:56:07.360 --> 02:56:09.399 cinematographers. So I don't know. I have to think on that one as 2067 02:56:09.399 --> 02:56:13.360 well. I'll say, for now, Eggshells is probably my least favorite, 2068 02:56:13.479 --> 02:56:20.120 and Chainsaw two is just mind like growing up was always my favorite stuff. 2069 02:56:22.239 --> 02:56:24.399 Let's go for a fun one and then we'll close it out with a pretty 2070 02:56:24.440 --> 02:56:28.639 heavy question here. First off, what is the best barbecue? And I'll 2071 02:56:28.639 --> 02:56:31.280 say there's not necessarily a right answer, but there's definitely a wrong answer. 2072 02:56:33.520 --> 02:56:35.760 Well, so I'm from North Carolina, you know, and we make it 2073 02:56:35.799 --> 02:56:43.360 a certain way that might not appeal to you. As long as the answer 2074 02:56:43.399 --> 02:56:48.879 is not Texas, I'm fine with that. Well, no, it's it's 2075 02:56:48.920 --> 02:56:54.639 it's it's not Texas. You've got a pretty good barbecue place right here in 2076 02:56:54.680 --> 02:57:01.719 Greensborough called Stadius Barbecue. I like it, but we gotta some vinegar style 2077 02:57:01.159 --> 02:57:07.520 to the barbecue here. For COVID, it was a nice festival that would 2078 02:57:07.559 --> 02:57:11.639 come through the Winston Salem area area that I used to go to. Haven't 2079 02:57:11.680 --> 02:57:16.760 been since I think it's reopen. Yeah, I must say, I want 2080 02:57:16.760 --> 02:57:22.719 to say Stany's Barbecue right here in Nice, all right here it is Why 2081 02:57:22.840 --> 02:57:28.360 is film academia important? And what can it give us that the internet cannot? 2082 02:57:33.040 --> 02:57:39.000 You know that that's a really good question, because yeah, I think 2083 02:57:39.040 --> 02:57:41.719 Sam Deagan was talking about this a little bit in her interview a couple of 2084 02:57:41.719 --> 02:57:48.319 weeks ago. You know, there's definitely a large faction of academia that's kind 2085 02:57:48.319 --> 02:57:56.440 of closed off. You can interpret it as elitist or or just community of 2086 02:57:56.479 --> 02:58:01.239 people that have developed a type of jargon that just won't admit anybody else. 2087 02:58:01.799 --> 02:58:03.799 And I think, you know, you can read a lot of academic film 2088 02:58:03.799 --> 02:58:11.040 books and find them just impenetrable. Same for literature. And in that way, 2089 02:58:13.799 --> 02:58:18.040 some of the best film criticism and film journalism I've ever read has been 2090 02:58:18.399 --> 02:58:22.760 you know, what we'd call amateur you know, fan fan scholars, you 2091 02:58:22.799 --> 02:58:26.000 know, people who are just really interested in it and do it as a 2092 02:58:26.000 --> 02:58:31.360 hobby. Some of the best YouTube shows I've seen are done about people in 2093 02:58:31.399 --> 02:58:35.040 their spare time, on their own time. So, uh, to the 2094 02:58:35.239 --> 02:58:39.600 to that part of the question, what can academia give people that the Internet 2095 02:58:39.680 --> 02:58:52.479 can't I would say not a lot. But one thing that film academia can 2096 02:58:52.600 --> 02:58:58.959 give the first you know, and if you go to school for this sort 2097 02:58:58.000 --> 02:59:07.120 of thing, you get a concentrated time and opportunity to really expand your range 2098 02:59:07.360 --> 02:59:13.319 and and draw from people who have spent their lives doing this kind of research 2099 02:59:13.399 --> 02:59:24.840 and working hard to archive and preserve films and also to contextualize them in the 2100 02:59:24.959 --> 02:59:31.399 history. And you know, people can do that on their own as well, 2101 02:59:31.440 --> 02:59:35.159 but the university gives a kind of concentrated place and archive, a library, 2102 02:59:37.520 --> 02:59:43.840 uh and a collection of talent that that can be accessible for you know, 2103 02:59:43.920 --> 02:59:50.959 the students who are were there. You know. In publishing, and 2104 02:59:52.079 --> 02:59:54.920 this is a good or and a bad thing. You know, there's an 2105 02:59:54.959 --> 02:59:58.440 academic publishing you have to go through a lot of gatekeepers. So one thing 2106 02:59:58.440 --> 03:00:01.879 you can be s of is that you know, if you look at a 2107 03:00:01.879 --> 03:00:05.239 book like American Twilight, it's written in a way that successful you do not 2108 03:00:05.280 --> 03:00:07.079 have to be a film scholler and understand it. It's pretty pretty much jargon 2109 03:00:07.159 --> 03:00:11.200 free. But you also but you also know it's gone through the ringer right. 2110 03:00:13.159 --> 03:00:16.680 Experts in the field have read it, critiqued it, we've had to 2111 03:00:16.680 --> 03:00:22.000 respond to those criticisms and apart work it apart and and that part of the 2112 03:00:22.040 --> 03:00:31.200 gatekeeping I think is really valuable as opposed to to books that don't go through 2113 03:00:31.239 --> 03:00:35.479 that process, that that that can be a little bit sloppier in their in 2114 03:00:35.520 --> 03:00:39.479 their research. On the other hand, you know, a lot of books 2115 03:00:39.680 --> 03:00:45.159 don't make it through the gateway because there's some kind of resistance to the subject 2116 03:00:45.200 --> 03:00:52.360 matter or or there's a radical approach that that entrenched minds just don't get. 2117 03:00:52.479 --> 03:00:58.520 And so this is a really long answer that basically says both and are are 2118 03:00:58.639 --> 03:01:03.840 important. And and you know, there are a lot of people. I 2119 03:01:03.840 --> 03:01:07.280 don't want to say that I'm in any way special, because there are a 2120 03:01:07.280 --> 03:01:11.959 lot of people like me who kind of straddle the lines if that lovely image 2121 03:01:13.479 --> 03:01:20.879 of straddling who who who work in academia and and kind of can speak speak 2122 03:01:20.200 --> 03:01:26.200 English, but are really like I'm not a filmmaker. That's not part of 2123 03:01:26.239 --> 03:01:30.239 my talent. But I am a pretty good writer, and I'm passionate about 2124 03:01:30.239 --> 03:01:33.920 film, and I don't want to be an archive archivist and an advocate for 2125 03:01:35.000 --> 03:01:39.799 film that reaches as wide an audience is possible. And I think I think 2126 03:01:39.799 --> 03:01:46.479 a lot of academics, especially in this generation and the younger generations, are 2127 03:01:46.559 --> 03:01:52.719 that. A lot of film journalists are are that, you know, Internet 2128 03:01:52.799 --> 03:02:00.959 Scott, Internet critics. The few remaining print critics are that. Yeah. 2129 03:02:01.040 --> 03:02:07.440 I think what academics have to offer is a certain talent pool and a certain 2130 03:02:07.479 --> 03:02:13.760 depth of research that hopefully they make available to the wider public. I'd agree 2131 03:02:13.760 --> 03:02:16.959 there. I mean that accessibility is really one of the most important things, 2132 03:02:16.959 --> 03:02:22.120 and that leads to the overall idea of film in general. When we're talking 2133 03:02:22.159 --> 03:02:26.479 about archiving all of these works, and that's why these extra features that we 2134 03:02:26.520 --> 03:02:31.639 get on physical media is so important, because we get some of the voices 2135 03:02:31.680 --> 03:02:35.680 that you will not be able to have if you just stick to a streaming 2136 03:02:35.680 --> 03:02:41.479 method where there's no special features. You get access to families that were affected 2137 03:02:41.520 --> 03:02:46.840 by these films. You get access to a producer from a film from fifty 2138 03:02:46.920 --> 03:02:52.079 years ago that remembers everything about it and can share everything. I mean the 2139 03:02:52.120 --> 03:02:56.719 fact that we have Franco Niro interviewed in twenty eighteen talking about Djingo made fifty 2140 03:02:56.719 --> 03:03:01.680 two years prior, and you can literally remember day to day stories. It 2141 03:03:01.840 --> 03:03:05.920 is wild how much context we have lost with so much of this, and 2142 03:03:05.000 --> 03:03:11.760 I just hope we never stop archiving some of this. Yeah. Yeah, 2143 03:03:11.000 --> 03:03:16.319 film is one of the youngest art forms, but it's also in art films 2144 03:03:16.600 --> 03:03:24.479 most in need of preservation and quickly right as people do pass on. I 2145 03:03:24.639 --> 03:03:31.079 recently listened to a podcast about some Warner Archive titles than they just upgraded to 2146 03:03:31.120 --> 03:03:37.280 Blu ray. The Errol Flint movie The Adventures of Don Juan, directed on 2147 03:03:37.360 --> 03:03:41.079 Vincent Sherman, and they were able to port over audio commentary that Sherman did 2148 03:03:41.079 --> 03:03:50.399 before he passed away. It's fantastic, great stories. As awful as this 2149 03:03:50.479 --> 03:03:54.719 whole situation is, we got to end it with talking about this for the 2150 03:03:54.719 --> 03:03:58.879 final time. What is with the decades long rumors about Spielberg directing poultry guys? 2151 03:04:01.280 --> 03:04:13.840 Yeah, what is with that? Well, there's a nice uh piece 2152 03:04:13.840 --> 03:04:16.680 about that in the book and and uh, let's see Chris, Chris Wofter 2153 03:04:16.760 --> 03:04:20.479 and I were on Cinema Defficult podcast addressing it, and then uh, in 2154 03:04:20.600 --> 03:04:31.879 the interview with Ryan last week, we addressed it. You know, I'm 2155 03:04:31.879 --> 03:04:37.079 gonna go with to sum it up. Uh. Joe Bob Briggs pointed out 2156 03:04:37.120 --> 03:04:41.079 that one thing that Toby Hooper was never good at was glad hand handing and 2157 03:04:41.280 --> 03:04:50.719 and schmoozing and playing the game. And for whatever reason, you know, 2158 03:04:50.760 --> 03:04:58.799 a couple of folks who were potentially on the set and spread that rumor, 2159 03:04:58.840 --> 03:05:03.639 as as Spielberg, who was a collaborative producer and co writer of the film 2160 03:05:03.680 --> 03:05:09.600 with Hooper, was setting up a second unit unit shot. But you know, 2161 03:05:09.719 --> 03:05:13.920 as we were saying in the interview last week, if you watch Spielberg's 2162 03:05:13.959 --> 03:05:18.520 movies and you watch Hooper's movies, and then you watch Poultu, guys, 2163 03:05:22.559 --> 03:05:26.280 the only reason Poulter Gee might look a little bit like a Spielberg movie is 2164 03:05:26.280 --> 03:05:31.760 because of the money. Ye. The themes, the sense of humor, 2165 03:05:31.040 --> 03:05:35.479 the darkness, the scares, those are those are all in the style of 2166 03:05:35.520 --> 03:05:43.959 Hooper, and Hooper and Spielberg worked together several times after that, amazing stories 2167 03:05:43.040 --> 03:05:48.920 taken and so on. So it wasn't I think that this this rumor definitely 2168 03:05:48.920 --> 03:05:56.639 caused problems between them, but not problems that were left totally unresolved from all 2169 03:05:56.680 --> 03:06:03.079 accounts, and of credits, staying easy for his insight because he knew slightly 2170 03:06:03.600 --> 03:06:11.440 more than slightly actually really well and friends with Hooper son Tony Toby Hooper was 2171 03:06:11.520 --> 03:06:16.399 kind of a reclusive guy, retiring guy, put his energy into communication on 2172 03:06:16.440 --> 03:06:22.200 the set and then after that kind of come off to his own devices. 2173 03:06:22.200 --> 03:06:26.719 Where Spielberg, and this is knock on, Spielberg is much more of a 2174 03:06:26.760 --> 03:06:31.959 personality. You know, big man very much so. But you know, 2175 03:06:31.159 --> 03:06:41.440 watch watch the films, and it's it's a dumb rumer, really is I 2176 03:06:41.760 --> 03:06:46.879 would agree there if you enjoy conversations like this, This is my one time 2177 03:06:46.920 --> 03:06:52.200 tonight that I will bring up, not that any of us are educators or 2178 03:06:52.200 --> 03:06:56.719 anything like that, but over on our Patreon, which I will say thank 2179 03:06:56.760 --> 03:07:01.319 you to all of our patrons now, including our one Kevin Smith. On 2180 03:07:01.399 --> 03:07:05.479 there, we have a lot of conversations about stuff just like we've been talking 2181 03:07:05.479 --> 03:07:13.040 about all day over in our discord and the ability to just share everybody having 2182 03:07:13.079 --> 03:07:18.840 these different opinions and analyzing films and talking about quality of films and releases and 2183 03:07:18.159 --> 03:07:22.040 you know, just different focuses and cycles on the hobby. It's a really 2184 03:07:22.040 --> 03:07:26.799 great place if you are curious about that. The link for the Patreon is 2185 03:07:26.840 --> 03:07:31.319 in the description below, and the really the only thing to say tonight will 2186 03:07:31.399 --> 03:07:33.200 just thank you so much for your time. I really hope everybody enjoyed this. 2187 03:07:33.879 --> 03:07:37.879 There's so much education to pass along and to get free access like this 2188 03:07:37.959 --> 03:07:43.200 to an educator is just priceless. So thank you, oh man. Happy 2189 03:07:43.200 --> 03:07:46.639 to be here. Hey, I'll throw out a rumor for you who directed 2190 03:07:46.760 --> 03:07:54.319 Jaws, because I have incredible authority that Steven Spielberg couldn't figure out how to 2191 03:07:54.440 --> 03:07:58.239 make it work without showing the shark and stomped off the set and the producer 2192 03:07:58.280 --> 03:08:03.799 had to finish it so spread that around the internet video stores is funny and 2193 03:08:03.840 --> 03:08:07.200 nobody mentions how Hooper directed eighty percent of Saving Private Ryan. Let's get these 2194 03:08:07.280 --> 03:08:11.799 going, oh man, everybody, thanks for watching tonight. I know it's 2195 03:08:11.840 --> 03:08:16.079 been a long show from this time from two collectors to all of you. 2196 03:08:16.520 --> 03:08:20.520 Hope you have a good night. We'll see you next Thursday. More videos 2197 03:08:20.520 --> 03:08:22.959 coming out this week from the Disconnected see then, Thanks everybody,
