00:00:23.640 --> 00:00:28.640
We are live with everybody. What
is going on? You will be seeing

2
00:00:28.760 --> 00:00:32.759
here on screen and hearing my dear
friend, mister Will Dodson. Will,

3
00:00:32.799 --> 00:00:36.079
how are we doing tonight? Doing
great, doing, Happy to be here,

4
00:00:36.280 --> 00:00:40.240
How are you doing same? Happy
to have you here, Happy to

5
00:00:40.280 --> 00:00:45.000
have a guest that I know and
love and trust, and a good good

6
00:00:45.119 --> 00:00:48.679
night of stuff to talk about.
We got a Vinegar Syndrome sale to recap,

7
00:00:48.719 --> 00:00:54.000
we got OCN announcements, we got
Arrow announcements to go over. We've

8
00:00:54.079 --> 00:01:00.159
got a random mishmash of terrifyer stuff
from Umbrella bringing up the tail end of

9
00:01:00.200 --> 00:01:03.480
today, and uh yeah, just
just checking in with everybody. So what's

10
00:01:03.680 --> 00:01:07.359
what's been going on with you?
Well, it's near the end of the

11
00:01:07.359 --> 00:01:12.400
semester, so we're trying to get
through final exams and get people off of

12
00:01:12.480 --> 00:01:19.400
campus and you know, a lot
of a lot of spike and anxiety issues

13
00:01:19.400 --> 00:01:25.319
among the students, and so it's
it's it's busy, but it's not not

14
00:01:25.439 --> 00:01:32.040
too taxing. Been you know,
I did. I did do a lot

15
00:01:32.159 --> 00:01:42.079
of Black Friday impulse purchasing with all
the various boutique sales, so that's been

16
00:01:42.120 --> 00:01:47.640
taking up a lot of my consciousness
the past few days, first making the

17
00:01:47.680 --> 00:01:53.239
purchases and then figuring out how to
pay for them and to store them.

18
00:01:55.200 --> 00:01:59.519
Yeah, those are always an issue, and this is a good time to

19
00:01:59.560 --> 00:02:01.680
remind it. Everybody. Make sure
you're taking care of yourself as you're in

20
00:02:01.719 --> 00:02:05.400
this hobby, you know, make
sure you're not overspending. Make sure you're

21
00:02:05.439 --> 00:02:09.919
paying attention to what your needs are
first, because that should come first.

22
00:02:09.960 --> 00:02:13.919
These are all an addition to our
lives, and yes, they make a

23
00:02:13.960 --> 00:02:16.240
lot of us happy. However,
you got to take care of yourself first,

24
00:02:16.319 --> 00:02:19.599
and it's always a good reminder to
check in. And it's nearing the

25
00:02:19.680 --> 00:02:22.280
end of the year, so it's
kind of the perfect time to reassess yourself

26
00:02:22.319 --> 00:02:25.120
and your life. Make sure that
it's a good time and you're making the

27
00:02:25.120 --> 00:02:30.919
purchases for the right to right reasons. Why did not talk to you beforehand,

28
00:02:30.360 --> 00:02:38.639
because I probably would have talked you
into buying more so other than sales

29
00:02:38.639 --> 00:02:44.240
stuff, any any recent pickups that
you want to highlight or share or anything.

30
00:02:44.639 --> 00:02:47.439
Oh yeah, I had some cool
stuff that came in the mail over

31
00:02:47.520 --> 00:02:52.639
the past week. I think either
last time or or the time before we

32
00:02:52.719 --> 00:02:58.560
talked about Sheba set yep. Well
that's just comye and I'm really excited to

33
00:02:58.560 --> 00:03:05.840
see Samurairi and Nation in particular on
the Bodyguard films, So really excited about

34
00:03:05.879 --> 00:03:14.639
that. The last titles that I
got from the Barnes and Noble Criterion sale

35
00:03:14.680 --> 00:03:17.159
came in, so the Malcolm X
four K. Really excited about that,

36
00:03:17.639 --> 00:03:27.039
and the Wally for four K.
And then there was an Aeroflash sale and

37
00:03:27.240 --> 00:03:31.439
they got the four K twelve Monkeys
and the four K of flat Liners and

38
00:03:31.479 --> 00:03:37.960
the four K of RoboCop so and
then last thing I'll show, Oh,

39
00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:46.120
no, next last thing. Then
there was that quick shout sale for the

40
00:03:46.919 --> 00:03:53.879
my favorite able for our Christmas movie
very specific list, and another movie It's

41
00:03:53.919 --> 00:03:55.639
not a Christmas movie, but it's
great to watch any time of year,

42
00:03:55.680 --> 00:04:00.319
The Evil that Men Do. J
Lee Thompson directs Charles. Last Thing I'll

43
00:04:00.360 --> 00:04:03.680
share is an old movie that an
older movie that I got based on a

44
00:04:03.680 --> 00:04:11.199
recommendation from Adam Bulger at the Send
Him a Death Cult podcast and that's the

45
00:04:11.240 --> 00:04:15.079
sender. Nice so he recommended it. I'm looking forward to watching it for

46
00:04:15.079 --> 00:04:18.920
the first time. Cool little horror
film. So yeah, huh, pretty

47
00:04:18.920 --> 00:04:24.279
good, pretty good week. Last
week of trips to the post office.

00:04:42.560 --> 00:04:46.279

53
00:04:46.279 --> 00:04:53.439
see. Dustin is here, mutual
friends Stan Geezy here every other Thursday.

54
00:04:53.959 --> 00:04:56.439
Stan says, I don't need to

the library and get an inner loan
if you are not able to find it

59
00:05:15.800 --> 00:05:23.759
at your library. Yeah. Lots
of interesting talk already in the comments.

60
00:05:23.800 --> 00:05:29.680
People talking about the Martin box set
that will be initially announced tomorrow by Second

61
00:05:29.680 --> 00:05:34.720
Sight. Anthony's here tonight, and
let's see christians hobby Blog already shouting out

62
00:05:34.720 --> 00:05:39.839
that slumber party masker shirt you want
to mention Slumber Party Masker at all,

63
00:05:40.560 --> 00:05:44.879
Well, here here it is.
Yeah, this was a fright rags Slumber

64
00:05:44.879 --> 00:05:49.360
Party Massacer two nice, which is
my favorite of the series. I have

65
00:05:49.399 --> 00:05:54.720
an extensive relationship with the Slumber Party
Massacre films. I did part of my

66
00:05:55.120 --> 00:05:59.120
part of my master's thesis was about
the first one, and the second one

67
00:05:59.160 --> 00:06:03.600
was actually the very first movie that
got me into films. I just I

68
00:06:03.680 --> 00:06:08.759
found it. The year was nineteen
ninety six. I found it in in

69
00:06:08.800 --> 00:06:14.439
a bargain beIN a holo wall video
store for three bucks. I thought looked

70
00:06:14.439 --> 00:06:20.600
funny and gosh darn, it was
just a brilliant, brilliant weird movie.

71
00:06:20.759 --> 00:06:25.360
And it taught me what movies could
be like if you looked hard enough.

72
00:06:25.600 --> 00:06:29.519
Yeah, that's true. Mike just
watched Martyrs, Mike, let us know

73
00:06:29.560 --> 00:06:33.600
what you thought. Oh curious that
one. Now you have a new understanding

74
00:06:33.639 --> 00:06:42.639
of life death and the infinite Sartists
bought Life Force. Nice. Yeah,

75
00:06:43.800 --> 00:06:47.560
Stan Geezy just watched Glass Onion,
the sequel to Knives Out, Quiet Rob,

76
00:06:47.600 --> 00:06:53.399
what's going on? Film? Nut? Let's see. Josephine asked a

77
00:06:53.480 --> 00:06:55.920
question, let's talk about this.
If you were to have a horror movie

78
00:06:55.920 --> 00:07:01.279
slumber party of your own. Which
actors would you invite? Oh? You

79
00:07:01.319 --> 00:07:03.920
want to? You want to start? I already have like my group.

80
00:07:04.879 --> 00:07:09.399
Uh yeah, you know, some
of the ones i'd go for, or

81
00:07:09.399 --> 00:07:13.240
some of the ones that I grew
up excited to see them in films,

82
00:07:13.399 --> 00:07:16.480
and uh, some of the gosh, some of the younger ones back in

83
00:07:16.519 --> 00:07:21.639
the nineties. I'd go to somebody
like Christian Slater. It's not a name

84
00:07:21.680 --> 00:07:25.639
that we hear a whole lot anymore. Don't take a drink from him,

85
00:07:26.399 --> 00:07:30.079
never never. Uh. And this
will be a dry party just in case.

86
00:07:30.680 --> 00:07:32.800
Uh. Let's see, I'm trying
to think back when I was younger,

87
00:07:32.839 --> 00:07:35.079
what what I would go for.
That's why I went with Christian Slater.

88
00:07:35.439 --> 00:07:41.120
I'd probably be like Elijah Wood back
in the early two thousands. That'd

89
00:07:41.160 --> 00:07:48.720
be a fun one. Get some
hobbits in there. Let's see Tony Collette.

90
00:07:48.720 --> 00:07:50.839
I mean that's around the time when
I really started to fall in love

91
00:07:50.879 --> 00:07:55.439
with everything she was doing. She'd
be a fun one. What about you,

92
00:07:57.079 --> 00:08:01.040
Well, I'd want somebody to tell
me ghost stories. So Keith David

93
00:08:01.240 --> 00:08:09.680
absolutely have him, trust him,
be careful. I would definitely want to

94
00:08:09.720 --> 00:08:16.720
hang out with like Bill Mosley,
Tiffany Shepis, people like that. Good

95
00:08:16.759 --> 00:08:22.319
stories seem like they'd be fun at
a party. Uh atanas Ilich the Driller

96
00:08:22.399 --> 00:08:28.519
Killer from Solar Party Massaker too,
we have a question on that. Actually,

97
00:08:28.920 --> 00:08:33.720
Video Store says I have to introduce
Slumber Party Massacre next week. Is

98
00:08:33.799 --> 00:08:37.360
part of my master's degree. I've
never seen it. Where can I read

99
00:08:37.399 --> 00:08:43.440
your thesis? Well, I can
send it to you if you if you

100
00:08:43.480 --> 00:08:50.240
want to send me a message or
something on Twitter or whatnot. But I

101
00:08:50.279 --> 00:08:52.440
assume it's in right. They have
to share. They have to keep those

102
00:08:52.480 --> 00:08:58.039
at the library of the school you
went to, so Bradford University library would

103
00:08:58.080 --> 00:09:03.120
have it. But I've revised it
since then. I checks out. I'm

104
00:09:03.120 --> 00:09:07.440
gonna go through some of my pickups
and actually film Nutt is talking about one

105
00:09:07.519 --> 00:09:11.960
of them, Testament from Imprint Films. Such a harrowing but brilliant film.

106
00:09:11.000 --> 00:09:13.879
I just got this in for review
from Imprint. I got a few more

107
00:09:13.919 --> 00:09:22.000
from them. We got in North
Dallas forty. This is of course with

108
00:09:22.159 --> 00:09:24.360
a super young looking and you can
see this beautiful picture on the back,

109
00:09:24.600 --> 00:09:30.360
young Nick Nolty. And then this
is probably the one that I'm looking forward

110
00:09:30.360 --> 00:09:33.440
to the most because I don't think
i've seen this one ever. Louis Mall's

111
00:09:33.480 --> 00:09:39.559
Pretty Baby, nice release from them, and then last one from Imprint,

112
00:09:39.840 --> 00:09:46.720
the Molly mcguires. All Right,
interesting month from them, got Sean Connery

113
00:09:46.720 --> 00:09:50.799
in there. I can't wait for
that one. But the exciting thing mutual

114
00:09:50.879 --> 00:09:54.000
friend Stan Gheezy sent this to my
house and so I'm going to open this

115
00:09:54.080 --> 00:09:56.120
for the first time. I tore
up in the end, but this is

116
00:09:56.159 --> 00:10:01.879
the first time I'm taking anything out. I know where we go from Stan

117
00:10:01.960 --> 00:10:07.279
Geezy. This is his book,
and man, that is a nice cover

118
00:10:07.039 --> 00:10:13.320
making of Toby Hooper's I'm Dangerous Tonight. I think I've heard of that movie.

119
00:10:13.960 --> 00:10:18.440
This is called Red Scare and it's
by Murietta Press, and you should

120
00:10:18.440 --> 00:10:20.080
be able to get this pretty much
anywhere. Stan, thank you so much

121
00:10:20.120 --> 00:10:24.360
for this. I am eager to
wow, eager to dive into this.

122
00:10:24.399 --> 00:10:30.559
I like some of the art in
the back nice. And then the other

123
00:10:30.600 --> 00:10:35.759
one that came with it is Smoldering
Embers on the set of Toby Hooper's Spontaneous

124
00:10:35.759 --> 00:10:41.039
Combustion. There's just some Toby fans
here love that same thing. Art in

125
00:10:41.080 --> 00:10:45.240
the back. I'm loving these,
Stan, thank you so much. And

126
00:10:45.240 --> 00:10:50.159
then I don't know if this is
appropriate for aerosol scam through first uh Hi,

127
00:10:50.240 --> 00:10:52.399
Ryan has promised and close. Please
find copies of my book Smoldering Embers

128
00:10:52.440 --> 00:10:54.679
and Red Scare. Hope you enjoy
them. If you know the film's well,

129
00:10:54.720 --> 00:10:58.440
you can dip in at your leisure
or read them start to finish.

130
00:10:58.559 --> 00:11:00.919
It is going to have to be
a start to finish because I am eager

131
00:11:00.919 --> 00:11:03.039
to dive in. Also, keep
you posted on the progress and my next

132
00:11:03.039 --> 00:11:07.559
project that I will stop reading there
just in case. I love the podcast

133
00:11:07.559 --> 00:11:09.840
has become a part of my Thursday
ritual. All the best of you and

134
00:11:09.879 --> 00:11:15.600
yours, Stan, you were amazing. Thank you so so much. I

135
00:11:15.639 --> 00:11:18.320
will happily let you know what I
think of those as soon as possible.

136
00:11:18.559 --> 00:11:22.519
That's great film that says pretty Baby
is beautiful but uncomfortable due to the subject

137
00:11:22.600 --> 00:11:26.879
matter. And that has been like
the story of a lot of these Imprint

138
00:11:26.960 --> 00:11:33.879
films releases this year. Actually,
let's see any any recent exciting watches you

139
00:11:33.919 --> 00:11:37.279
want to highlight for anybody? Do
you have Do you have time to watch

140
00:11:37.320 --> 00:11:43.000
anything recently? Yeah? Mostly mostly
stuff for work, but so the last

141
00:11:43.080 --> 00:11:46.879
the last on the last day of
my intro to Film studies course, such

142
00:11:46.960 --> 00:11:52.480
we showed a film that my teaching
is intern actually picked out, but one

143
00:11:52.519 --> 00:11:54.039
that I one that I hadn't seen
in many years. I was happy to

144
00:11:54.080 --> 00:11:58.519
see again. But I'm a cheerleader, and so that was we got to

145
00:11:58.519 --> 00:12:05.320
have some inches discussions about that,
a lot of fun. Paul Schrader's hardcore.

146
00:12:05.519 --> 00:12:09.480
I saw the Twilight Time Blu ray
of that looks really good and talk

147
00:12:09.519 --> 00:12:15.639
about uncomfortable subject matter. Yeah,
like Taxi Driver, it's a loose remake

148
00:12:15.720 --> 00:12:22.840
of The Searchers, except instead of
being kidnapped by Indigenous people, the daughter

149
00:12:24.720 --> 00:12:31.559
joins the CD world underground world of
nineteen seventies San Francisco pornography. So that

150
00:12:31.720 --> 00:12:37.960
was a good one, and Georsey
Scott's fantastic in that film. Watched a

151
00:12:37.960 --> 00:12:46.240
couple of Busby Berkeley musicals. Most
uncomfortably, a film called Babes in Arms

152
00:12:46.279 --> 00:12:52.279
with Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland,
which was nominated for several Oscars, but

153
00:12:52.399 --> 00:12:58.279
features Rooney and Garland in a blackface
routine that is just not I mean,

154
00:12:58.320 --> 00:13:05.159
it's never but this one's like particularly
egregious. That kind of I was not

155
00:13:05.279 --> 00:13:09.879
expecting it, so I'm interested in
listening to the commentary on that disc.

156
00:13:09.960 --> 00:13:18.360
I wonder if the dress. So
those those are the most recent films I

157
00:13:18.399 --> 00:13:22.759
saw. I'm about to embark on
a project about Jack Arnold, the director

158
00:13:22.799 --> 00:13:28.759
who did a creature from the Black
Wagon Shrinking. I'm writing about several of

159
00:13:28.759 --> 00:13:37.159
his westerns, and A Red Sundown
is one I'm going to watch this weekend,

160
00:13:37.240 --> 00:13:39.960
and I'm very excited about nice.
That's what's going on there? How

161
00:13:39.960 --> 00:13:43.440
about you? I mean, the
only one that I've had people ask about

162
00:13:43.480 --> 00:13:48.080
recently is I finally got around to
watching Pearl from this year, and I

163
00:13:48.960 --> 00:13:52.200
enjoyed it thoroughly. I think Mia
Goth was incredible. I don't think it

164
00:13:52.279 --> 00:13:56.679
was as good as X for my
tastes. I mean that kind of falls

165
00:13:56.720 --> 00:14:00.639
in line with the Tobe Hooper talk
because X was very similar at least in

166
00:14:00.720 --> 00:14:05.600
tone and setting to the original text
Chainsaw Masker, and that just fits me

167
00:14:05.679 --> 00:14:09.559
more to a tee. Pearl was
great, really well acted for her nice,

168
00:14:11.200 --> 00:14:13.440
nice character study because she really dives
in on that one, and it's

169
00:14:13.759 --> 00:14:18.480
it's got some interesting takes, but
it was. Yeah, it was good.

170
00:14:18.759 --> 00:14:22.120
It's interesting to see what ty West
has been able to do with this.

171
00:14:22.000 --> 00:14:24.799
Yeah, I haven't seen either of
those yet. I know somebody's going

172
00:14:24.879 --> 00:14:30.360
to be mad. No, it
makes sense. Not not anything that should

173
00:14:30.360 --> 00:14:35.679
be chastised. That makes perfect sense. Let's see Mike brought up. I

174
00:14:35.720 --> 00:14:39.200
also watched Argento's Demons one and two, which was one of his productions.

175
00:14:39.440 --> 00:14:43.399
I guess after watching them, I've
never seen them. We are gonna be

176
00:14:43.399 --> 00:14:48.679
talking about Argento right after we do
announcements tonight. So that's exciting. Then,

177
00:14:48.799 --> 00:14:52.879
Mitchell out of question, how different
is the director's cut of But I'm

178
00:14:52.879 --> 00:14:56.559
a cheerleader. I don't know that
I've seen the director's cut yet. Yeah,

179
00:14:56.600 --> 00:15:01.519
well that's that's what we showed.
And so I saw the original probably

180
00:15:01.519 --> 00:15:05.879
two thousand and five on home video, right, and that was the theatrical

181
00:15:05.960 --> 00:15:11.159
cut, So I I don't I
can't remember what has changed. But I

182
00:15:11.200 --> 00:15:16.559
did read an interview with the director
and she talked about how there were several

183
00:15:18.879 --> 00:15:26.960
several scenes that were character development scenes, a couple of scenes with jokes that

184
00:15:26.039 --> 00:15:31.759
weren't necessarily relevant to the main plot, but jokes that she found funny that

185
00:15:31.759 --> 00:15:35.320
had that had been cut because so
originally it was going to get an NC

186
00:15:35.480 --> 00:15:41.240
seventeen, even though there's hardly any
cursing in the movie and no nudity.

187
00:15:43.840 --> 00:15:46.039
But at the time, and this
is what two thousand and when did it

188
00:15:46.080 --> 00:15:50.039
come out? Originally two thousand and
three, maybe somewhere around there, Oh

189
00:15:50.080 --> 00:15:56.360
no, nineteen ninety nine. Oh
really, Yeah, So at the time,

190
00:15:56.440 --> 00:16:02.960
the issues were the lga BTQ content. And in the interview the director

191
00:16:03.399 --> 00:16:08.200
whose name escapes me, I'm sorry
for one moment, James Jamie Babbitt,

192
00:16:11.240 --> 00:16:15.639
she said that, you know,
without going into it, that that one

193
00:16:15.679 --> 00:16:22.080
of the what do you call them
sensors Advisory board people said that that she

194
00:16:22.120 --> 00:16:26.840
had to cut out a scene where
there was implied, you know, oral

195
00:16:26.840 --> 00:16:32.519
sex between two women characters, nothing
graphic, nothing shown, but just the

196
00:16:32.559 --> 00:16:38.480
imploy just the very implication of homosexual
behavior at that time nineteen ninety nine was

197
00:16:38.600 --> 00:16:44.120
enough to to get censored. And
it's it's really amazing now, you know,

198
00:16:44.159 --> 00:16:53.080
twenty twenty two. Certainly we still
have strong elements of LGBTQ phobia in

199
00:16:53.159 --> 00:17:00.000
our country. But the difference between
then and now is like night and day.

200
00:17:00.039 --> 00:17:03.240
I talked to students, and you
know, I'm only forty four years

201
00:17:03.240 --> 00:17:06.359
old, but I talked to students
who are nineteen and they cannot believe what

202
00:17:06.400 --> 00:17:11.359
it was like when I was their
age, right, So yeah, yeah,

203
00:17:11.440 --> 00:17:17.440
that's definitely worth seeing. I forget
to ask the question, but definitely

204
00:17:17.480 --> 00:17:22.559
worth seeing the director's cut because there
is a lot a really it's a really

205
00:17:22.640 --> 00:17:27.839
warm movie in terms of the character
beats and development and just so funny and

206
00:17:27.880 --> 00:17:34.720
campy, and it's really a celebration. It really is a great movie.

207
00:17:34.839 --> 00:17:38.480
It's one that I saw. Gosh, I can't even remember the first time

208
00:17:38.480 --> 00:17:44.160
I saw it was probably around two
two thousand and six ish two thousand and

209
00:17:44.240 --> 00:17:48.480
seven, and then I showed it
to a couple people just because of how

210
00:17:48.559 --> 00:17:52.720
it struck me. And then somewhere
around like twenty and thirteen, I just

211
00:17:52.839 --> 00:17:56.920
lost track of it and it was
suddenly hard to get on DVD, nowhere

212
00:17:56.920 --> 00:18:00.519
available to stream, and then this
Blu ray came out of nowhere, and

213
00:18:00.519 --> 00:18:03.000
I was like, oh, thank
goodness, So yeah, I would snatch

214
00:18:03.039 --> 00:18:06.400
that up. If you've never seen
it, it's a really great, really

215
00:18:06.440 --> 00:18:11.480
great Blu Ray. Fantastic movie.
Uh, incredible performance from Natasha. Just

216
00:18:11.119 --> 00:18:18.000
an incredible movie. Let's see a
couple more questions, maybe, Well,

217
00:18:18.000 --> 00:18:19.240
here's one I'd like to hear your
take on, because I'm sure you got

218
00:18:19.240 --> 00:18:23.599
something to see. Sad to hear
about Albert Pune. Anything you want to

219
00:18:23.640 --> 00:18:33.920
say about alberts Man. What a
I just got that new book about him.

220
00:18:34.039 --> 00:18:37.720
I'll have to look for it later. Nobody wants to watch me looking

221
00:18:37.720 --> 00:18:45.680
on all screen? What a what
a unique visionary, you know, someone

222
00:18:45.680 --> 00:18:52.920
who never compromised their their vision,
so energetic. By coincidence, I just

223
00:18:53.000 --> 00:18:59.119
got the I got a German import
of Cyborg that has the Slinger cut like

224
00:18:59.119 --> 00:19:03.119
a workprint cut of Slinger. I
was gearing up to watch that just to

225
00:19:03.119 --> 00:19:08.000
see the differences, because I really
I love Cyborg. My wife is a

226
00:19:08.079 --> 00:19:11.359
huge fan of the Sword and the
Sorcerer, so we that's a that's a

227
00:19:11.400 --> 00:19:15.160
go to date night movie for us. Just got the four K of that.

228
00:19:15.240 --> 00:19:18.319
So I'm excited about the Nemesis movies. I mean just you can go

229
00:19:18.400 --> 00:19:25.000
on and on crazy six mean guns, I mean uh. And he had

230
00:19:25.039 --> 00:19:29.920
such a range, you know,
within the sci fi and action genres.

231
00:19:30.400 --> 00:19:37.559
He can have so many interesting stories, character arcs. So many times I'd

232
00:19:37.640 --> 00:19:41.880
find a movie in the video story
that would look interesting, and then I'd

233
00:19:41.920 --> 00:19:45.279
say, oh, Albert Pune.
You know, I had no idea,

234
00:19:45.319 --> 00:19:48.680
but here he is. So I
was really sad to see him pass,

235
00:19:48.160 --> 00:19:56.960
but I hope that he was able
to enjoy a lot of the reappraisal he

236
00:19:57.039 --> 00:20:04.359
got from his large cult fandom over
the last decade or so of his life.

237
00:20:04.880 --> 00:20:07.240
Yeah, and these last couple of
years, thankfully, we've seen a

238
00:20:07.279 --> 00:20:12.640
lot of releases of his stuff so
the people could reappraise them. And admittedly

239
00:20:12.720 --> 00:20:18.079
I was never a huge Pune fan. I think I just missed the age

240
00:20:18.079 --> 00:20:22.799
bracket on growing up with them to
have the nostalgia factor play a huge deal.

241
00:20:22.359 --> 00:20:27.240
But the real thing that I eventually
grew to respect more than anything was

242
00:20:27.599 --> 00:20:33.240
this form of like mcguiver innovation.
No matter how small the budgets were,

243
00:20:33.359 --> 00:20:37.519
he made things look so much better
than they had any right to look.

244
00:20:38.279 --> 00:20:42.960
He could take the smallest set that
you could imagine and make a couple movies

245
00:20:44.000 --> 00:20:48.680
on the same set, make them
look completely different, and really gave a

246
00:20:48.720 --> 00:20:53.720
lot to film and has inspired a
bunch of new filmmakers, and that is

247
00:20:53.799 --> 00:20:57.720
quite evident in what we've seen since
then. So, yeah, Albert was

248
00:20:57.759 --> 00:21:00.880
great. And if you can and
seek out of stuff, buy some of

249
00:21:00.920 --> 00:21:03.920
his releases. One of the things
that has sort of dismade me in the

250
00:21:04.000 --> 00:21:11.119
last week is he passed and everybody
started passing around like Google drive links to

251
00:21:11.240 --> 00:21:15.880
his work and people passing around torrents, and like, I get wanting to

252
00:21:15.880 --> 00:21:18.480
seek out of stuff, But there's
better ways than pirrating, and I think

253
00:21:18.519 --> 00:21:22.119
that we can be better than that. And I think most people watching or

254
00:21:22.119 --> 00:21:26.400
listening to this are probably not those
people. But just in case, I

255
00:21:26.400 --> 00:21:27.880
mean, you can go to the
library and rent a lot of his movies

256
00:21:29.079 --> 00:21:33.559
for free, so just figure out
a different way, better way to watch

257
00:21:33.599 --> 00:21:37.720
them. Well, and so many
of them are now available in boutique releases

258
00:21:37.759 --> 00:21:41.599
and you can see just how good
that look. You know, Alien from

259
00:21:41.759 --> 00:21:48.480
La Dangerously Close MVD rewind alone has
like three or four of them, So

260
00:21:48.039 --> 00:21:52.559
yeah, there's there's a lot out
there, and uh yeah, seek him

261
00:21:52.559 --> 00:21:57.480
out. They're great. Any anything
else newsworthy that we want to talk about

262
00:21:57.480 --> 00:22:02.160
before we get into the announcements and
thing exciting you want to share? God,

263
00:22:02.759 --> 00:22:10.400
I'm sure there is, so I'm
so flustered. As I mentioned before,

264
00:22:10.440 --> 00:22:17.279
there's going to be I think two
book, two book length edited collections

265
00:22:17.319 --> 00:22:21.400
of essays on on West Craven that
come out next year twenty twenty three.

266
00:22:22.359 --> 00:22:27.440
I just finished up essays for each
of them, so so uh mark your

267
00:22:29.000 --> 00:22:37.319
mark your entire twenty twenty three down
check every day to be monitoring when those

268
00:22:37.359 --> 00:22:45.039
come out. It's gonna be time
for a West Craven uh chronological film Festival,

269
00:22:45.160 --> 00:22:51.519
go through every single one next year. Those are those are the big

270
00:22:51.559 --> 00:22:55.720
projects that I'm working with, the
Jack Arnold thing. So that's that's that's

271
00:22:55.759 --> 00:23:00.400
all the news for for me right
now. Well, stand on to bring

272
00:23:00.400 --> 00:23:04.839
out a little bit of personal news. I saw that last week Jeremy Long

273
00:23:04.880 --> 00:23:11.039
broke your personal records. So how
are we going to approach that? Well,

274
00:23:11.039 --> 00:23:14.920
it probably ain't gonna happen tonight.
I was gonna say, we're both

275
00:23:14.920 --> 00:23:18.359
looking a little rosy ready to go
to sleep already. But although this will

276
00:23:18.400 --> 00:23:22.680
not be five hours, Will and
I have a lot on the back burners

277
00:23:22.720 --> 00:23:25.839
that will be happening in the next
few months, and Wes Craven is just

278
00:23:25.880 --> 00:23:27.359
the tip of that iceberg. Yeah, I'll break the record. And I

279
00:23:27.440 --> 00:23:30.359
want to point out that like an
hour that was just watching him shot,

280
00:23:33.480 --> 00:23:40.319
I'm not give you six hours of
content. Oh man, I'm gonna have

281
00:23:40.359 --> 00:23:44.880
to make sure the AirPods are really
charged that night. Let's get into some

282
00:23:44.920 --> 00:23:49.519
announcements first of which, we are
going to recount what happened during the sale

283
00:23:49.799 --> 00:23:55.839
last time for Vinegar Syndrome. This
was all of the brand new releases from

284
00:23:55.880 --> 00:23:59.720
last week. We're gonna go through
what was shown for the first time highlight

285
00:23:59.720 --> 00:24:02.559
time down. We got a lot
of these details already, so we're not

286
00:24:02.599 --> 00:24:04.599
going to go deep into them,
but we don't have wheels reaction. So

287
00:24:04.680 --> 00:24:10.359
the first one we got that I
was super excited about Freeway on four K.

288
00:24:10.960 --> 00:24:14.519
What do you what do you think
about this film? Speaking of Natasha

289
00:24:14.640 --> 00:24:17.319
Leone, she's in the sequel to
this one, right, go back to

290
00:24:17.400 --> 00:24:22.920
that shot of Keefer's face there.
That's what I remember from this movie.

291
00:24:22.079 --> 00:24:26.960
I'm going to leave this one on
the screen now. So when did it

292
00:24:26.000 --> 00:24:30.000
come out? Like ninety seven,
ninety eight, something like a year on

293
00:24:30.039 --> 00:24:33.759
this one is ninety six. Okay, So this is when I was working

294
00:24:33.079 --> 00:24:37.200
at a video store, and the
video store I was working at was a

295
00:24:37.240 --> 00:24:42.039
cow themed video store called Movies,
And on the tapes that said if you

296
00:24:42.079 --> 00:24:45.839
don't mind cud you please rewind.
And there was like the walls had like

297
00:24:47.559 --> 00:24:51.359
cow hide you know, spots,
and I'm not sure how the marketing was

298
00:24:51.400 --> 00:24:56.200
supposed to work, but at any
rate, I spent a lot of time,

299
00:24:56.160 --> 00:25:02.880
you know, renting everything that I
could, and Freeway came out and

300
00:25:02.960 --> 00:25:04.440
so I get it with some friends
and I did. I did not get

301
00:25:04.440 --> 00:25:07.440
it. I did not get it
all. The first time I watched it,

302
00:25:07.960 --> 00:25:11.039
I was like, uh, just
feel weird. Odd. I didn't

303
00:25:11.079 --> 00:25:17.000
like it. And then, you
know, some months passed by and another

304
00:25:17.079 --> 00:25:19.160
friend had gotten really into and said, no, it's a retelling of the

305
00:25:19.279 --> 00:25:26.440
little Red Riding Hood. What So
watch it again a year later and I

306
00:25:26.480 --> 00:25:30.640
got it, and I still didn't
like it. Ten years go by and

307
00:25:32.000 --> 00:25:33.160
somebody made me watch it again and
I was like, you know what,

308
00:25:33.559 --> 00:25:38.440
I really like it. So now
that's my story. I'm really excited.

309
00:25:38.559 --> 00:25:45.400
But that face is the is the
one memory I have of the movie of

310
00:25:45.559 --> 00:25:48.759
him in the courtroom, and I
don't even remember the context of it.

311
00:25:48.799 --> 00:25:55.160
But obviously a makeup job like that
is going to get into your nightmares for

312
00:25:55.200 --> 00:25:59.000
sure, just just a little bit. Yeah, this is the one that

313
00:25:59.039 --> 00:26:03.599
had the big cast they were talking
about definitely some big names in this.

314
00:26:03.680 --> 00:26:07.000
I mean key for Sutherland. Like
you mentioned Reese Witherspoon small part from Britney

315
00:26:07.039 --> 00:26:11.079
Murphy a Man of Plumbers in it, Brooks Shields plays another small part.

316
00:26:11.440 --> 00:26:15.599
Good movie and the sequel to this. I think you can still get from

317
00:26:15.759 --> 00:26:22.920
a Dark Force whenever they open ever
so often. Yeah, this is a

318
00:26:22.920 --> 00:26:27.960
movie that was kind of made to
be a cult film. Yes, Stan

319
00:26:29.039 --> 00:26:32.440
wants to highlight that. Matthew Bright, the director Freeway, also wrote and

320
00:26:32.480 --> 00:26:37.680
starred in A Forbidden Zone, which
we talked about last week during the sale

321
00:26:37.680 --> 00:26:41.359
when we were looking at MVD.
Okay, I did not know that,

322
00:26:41.440 --> 00:26:47.640
but that makes me even more interested
in revisiting both films now. The other

323
00:26:47.720 --> 00:26:52.319
mystery title that was revealed is Evil
Laugh from nineteen eighty six. This is

324
00:26:52.400 --> 00:26:56.759
not one that I have seen previously. Have you seen this one? Not

325
00:26:56.920 --> 00:27:02.160
seen nor have ever even heard of
this one. So this was a mystery

326
00:27:02.200 --> 00:27:07.559
title that remained a mystery title once
it was announced. So you know that

327
00:27:07.559 --> 00:27:14.000
that that plot description sounds pretty familiar. We've seen We've seen movies with that

328
00:27:14.079 --> 00:27:17.599
kind of plot before, and and
so it sounds like something that's going to

329
00:27:17.640 --> 00:27:22.160
be kind of comfort food for me. I guess that. Yeah, that

330
00:27:22.480 --> 00:27:29.039
would be coming in my subscription.
Yeah, not Scott Beato, but Steven

331
00:27:29.119 --> 00:27:33.559
Beta. I wonder if they're related. It's a good question. Probably let's

332
00:27:33.599 --> 00:27:40.640
find that it's not a super common
name, it's his brother. This one

333
00:27:40.799 --> 00:27:45.359
got me excited, primarily because obviously
the plot, but then on top of

334
00:27:45.359 --> 00:27:49.839
that, almost eighty minutes brand new
feature length documentary, including interviews with a

335
00:27:49.880 --> 00:27:53.720
bunch of people associate with the movie. And I love when they do extras

336
00:27:53.759 --> 00:27:57.400
like that. Yeah, that's those
are always a lot of fun. I

337
00:27:57.880 --> 00:28:03.160
like, how well it's it's getting
less so now because these boutique companies have

338
00:28:03.200 --> 00:28:07.279
been around for a while, but
at least for the first for the first

339
00:28:07.359 --> 00:28:11.960
like wave of these these documentaries.
My favorite part is how kind of surprised

340
00:28:12.000 --> 00:28:18.680
everyone looks to me to be talking
about these movies. Are you really I

341
00:28:18.759 --> 00:28:23.119
was in that? Yeah, I
think which one? I think it's The

342
00:28:23.279 --> 00:28:26.920
Candy Snatchers from Vinegar Syndrome. The
director was like, are we really gonna

343
00:28:26.920 --> 00:28:33.680
sit down and talk about this something
like that? Uh? Next up,

344
00:28:33.799 --> 00:28:37.279
we got a couple of essays and
they continue down the line with Cynthia Rothrock,

345
00:28:37.319 --> 00:28:41.759
This has sworn to justice, This
is coming, This is from nineteen

346
00:28:41.839 --> 00:28:48.720
ninety six. I have never been
huge into Cynthia Rothrock, more so discovering

347
00:28:48.720 --> 00:28:51.920
her with the glut of releases we're
getting recently. Were you ever real big

348
00:28:51.920 --> 00:28:59.000
into Cynthia Rothrock? Oh yeah,
oh yeah. Discovered her work her Ouvra

349
00:29:00.240 --> 00:29:07.440
on late night Cinemax and in USA, I had never seen, you know,

350
00:29:07.519 --> 00:29:11.160
this was before I really started watching
Asian sim I didn't know who Michelle

351
00:29:11.319 --> 00:29:15.359
you know ye people were, and
so this was the first time I had

352
00:29:15.400 --> 00:29:22.000
seen really a strong woman action lead. Although you know, even in movies

353
00:29:22.039 --> 00:29:29.119
where she's the star, a lot
of times she's relegated to uh secondary scenes

354
00:29:29.240 --> 00:29:33.559
as she's as she's talked about in
many interviews, which is infuriating because she's

355
00:29:33.680 --> 00:29:37.759
good. I always always show interviews
with her and scenes from some of her

356
00:29:37.759 --> 00:29:42.279
movies and my in my cult films, class and Sworn to Justice is a

357
00:29:42.319 --> 00:29:48.519
really good one. So this was
probably the title I was most excited about

358
00:29:49.079 --> 00:29:53.240
that announcement. Nice, A lot
of fun. A big one for a

359
00:29:53.240 --> 00:29:57.240
lot of people is the other VSA
we are getting, Santo versus Doctor Death.

360
00:29:57.839 --> 00:30:02.279
First off, love the art on
the slip cover. I love how

361
00:30:02.759 --> 00:30:07.640
it looks super vintage. Love that
they went for this sort of very like

362
00:30:07.079 --> 00:30:12.480
Lucha Libre poster type. Look on
here and this release. First of all,

363
00:30:12.559 --> 00:30:17.680
I believe this is still the oldest
VSA title that we have so far,

364
00:30:17.799 --> 00:30:22.839
nineteen seventy three, and it sounds
like we have a lot more Santo

365
00:30:22.920 --> 00:30:27.160
to look forward to from the VSA
line. Well, all right, I've

366
00:30:27.240 --> 00:30:33.240
seen a couple of Santo movies here
and there, but never really dealt deep,

367
00:30:33.359 --> 00:30:40.240
So I'm excited for this to kind
of expand my experience. This is

368
00:30:40.880 --> 00:30:42.720
supposed to be one of the good
ones, and I am eager to check

369
00:30:42.759 --> 00:30:45.920
this one out. I've not seen
this one itself yet. Not a ton

370
00:30:45.960 --> 00:30:49.599
of extras on here. We got
a new video essay by Orlando Jimenez.

371
00:30:51.119 --> 00:30:55.000
But the cool thing is a lot
of the Santo films have kind of faltered

372
00:30:55.000 --> 00:30:59.400
in the language tracks, and this
one is presented in both the original Spanish

373
00:30:59.480 --> 00:31:03.799
language sound and the optional English dub, which is always good to give people

374
00:31:03.799 --> 00:31:07.920
the option. Not enough boutiques had
been doing that. I think the last

375
00:31:08.000 --> 00:31:11.640
couple of years a lot of them
are stepping up to that, so it's

376
00:31:11.720 --> 00:31:18.039
nice to see. Yeah, I
remember Andrew mentioned that in your severn interview

377
00:31:18.119 --> 00:31:22.400
right, how well the subtitles were, and I was so glad to hear

378
00:31:22.440 --> 00:31:26.799
it. You know the importance of
good translations and just having them. Yeah,

379
00:31:27.039 --> 00:31:32.000
so yeah cool. One of the
things I've been trying to push for

380
00:31:32.200 --> 00:31:36.319
with a lot of these boutiques is
when can we get subtitles in some of

381
00:31:36.319 --> 00:31:38.839
the extras, because there are a
lot of people that are hard of hearing

382
00:31:38.880 --> 00:31:44.839
that would love to listen to commentaries
and they can't hear them, because especially

383
00:31:45.000 --> 00:31:48.880
commentaries, because a lot of times
you hear two sets of dialogue at the

384
00:31:48.880 --> 00:31:56.880
same time, so it's tough.
Next up is the slipcovers that they put

385
00:31:56.880 --> 00:32:00.960
out, the catalog slip covers.
We got the lost films of Herschel Gordon

386
00:32:00.039 --> 00:32:06.640
Lewis. This was the very first
Vinegar Syndrome release on Blu Ray that was

387
00:32:06.680 --> 00:32:08.400
a part of the Vineger Syndrome line. At least this was number one.

388
00:32:09.200 --> 00:32:15.319
Then they put out the Doll Squad
and Mission Kill Fast double feature there,

389
00:32:15.599 --> 00:32:21.319
and then the comic slipcovers that they
talked about Tammy and the t Rex both

390
00:32:21.400 --> 00:32:25.160
in four K and Blu Ray versions, and then Blood Beat. This is

391
00:32:25.200 --> 00:32:30.960
the front and the back, so
your hot take because a lot of people

392
00:32:30.160 --> 00:32:36.359
have complained about these comic slipcovers.
What do you think about the comic slipcovers?

393
00:32:37.039 --> 00:32:39.400
I have to man, I did
I did go ahead and pick up

394
00:32:39.440 --> 00:32:45.559
the Doll Squad and the Herschelward Lewis
Ones. I looked at the comic ones

395
00:32:45.559 --> 00:32:49.640
that I thought they were neat.
I chose not to pick them up.

396
00:32:50.799 --> 00:32:52.559
I don't really know why anybody would
complain about it. Just don't get it

397
00:32:52.599 --> 00:32:57.440
if you don't like it. It's
not that I don't like it, it's

398
00:32:57.519 --> 00:33:02.599
that I'm happy with the art work
that already have on those releases. Yeah,

399
00:33:02.720 --> 00:33:07.200
I think I like the blood Beat
one the best I think out of

400
00:33:07.279 --> 00:33:10.240
those. But no, it's a
you know, they're it's they're trying something

401
00:33:10.279 --> 00:33:16.119
different and and for people that it
appeals to great, you know, and

402
00:33:16.160 --> 00:33:19.599
if you're not interested in it it, you know, don't pay the seven

403
00:33:19.640 --> 00:33:24.279
bucks for the slip cover. True
that I really liked the style of it,

404
00:33:24.319 --> 00:33:29.799
but I could see how somebody would
not be super eager to see the

405
00:33:29.799 --> 00:33:34.039
comic on the actual slip of the
of the release. So yeah, I

406
00:33:34.480 --> 00:33:37.799
like the art for sure, But
yeah, we'll see what happens next.

407
00:33:38.400 --> 00:33:43.599
Presentation is important and it matters.
So but would you have this is this

408
00:33:43.640 --> 00:33:45.799
just gives you another option if you
like it to it and if not,

409
00:33:45.880 --> 00:33:50.319
you got the original art. So
I I do love that they included the

410
00:33:50.440 --> 00:33:53.079
Tanny and the teenage t Rex at
the top. And how many people freaked

411
00:33:53.079 --> 00:33:57.480
out and said did finger syndrome screw
this up? And I there was multiple

412
00:33:57.480 --> 00:34:00.279
people I had to let know know
that's how it appears in the movie.

413
00:34:00.279 --> 00:34:05.519
If you've never seen it, that's
how it actually is. There. Next

414
00:34:05.599 --> 00:34:07.840
up, of course, was it's
a sale. So they put out a

415
00:34:07.880 --> 00:34:13.280
whole bunch of merch. We got
this Black Friday enamel pin, this be

416
00:34:13.480 --> 00:34:19.559
Nice enamel pin, which is another
Black Friday pin. This this vinegar this

417
00:34:19.800 --> 00:34:22.719
what do they call it? The
Siren shirt, which we spent a lot

418
00:34:22.760 --> 00:34:29.360
of time talking about last time because
of the ludity I'm gonna make up of

419
00:34:29.360 --> 00:34:35.559
word there that was on it.
Vinegar girl shirt which I happened to really

420
00:34:35.639 --> 00:34:37.480
like. I think it was a
nice shirt. And then the Canister of

421
00:34:37.679 --> 00:34:44.079
Doom shirt. Then some prince.
We got a Herschel Gordon Lewis print,

422
00:34:44.639 --> 00:34:49.559
this New York Ninja screen print.
Did you pick up any of this special

423
00:34:49.599 --> 00:34:52.079
merch this time. No, I'm
married, so I don't get to decorate

424
00:34:57.840 --> 00:35:01.199
in My office is already I can't
shit anything else in here. You gotta

425
00:35:01.199 --> 00:35:07.119
hang it on the ceiling. One
of these days, I'm going to get

426
00:35:07.119 --> 00:35:13.159
a stately mansion and there will be
a wing that belongs to me. Nice.

427
00:35:14.679 --> 00:35:19.400
The cool thing that we got after
that was an intro to what to

428
00:35:19.559 --> 00:35:24.239
expect from twenty twenty three. So
they were not selling their twenty three subscriptions

429
00:35:24.280 --> 00:35:29.760
this weekend at the Black Friday sale, which is the first time I think

430
00:35:29.840 --> 00:35:34.400
ever since they introduced subscriptions that they
didn't offer them at Black Friday. And

431
00:35:34.440 --> 00:35:37.239
they gave this reserve now and save
opportunity, So if you pay twenty five

432
00:35:37.320 --> 00:35:42.880
dollars, you'll get fifty dollars off
of the subprice when that drops in the

433
00:35:42.880 --> 00:35:46.480
first week of January. And what
they wanted to do is tease people to

434
00:35:46.480 --> 00:35:52.360
see if you could be enticed to
purchase into that, and they said in

435
00:35:52.480 --> 00:35:57.400
January, we'll be delving back into
Cat three horror with a box set featuring

436
00:35:57.440 --> 00:36:01.079
a trio of gruesome shockers and in
addition to the four K debut of an

437
00:36:01.239 --> 00:36:07.079
iconic eighties Gorefest, a whacked out
regional creature film and one of the best

438
00:36:07.199 --> 00:36:13.000
exploitation horror hybrids to come out of
the wilds of Mexican genre cinema. It's

439
00:36:13.039 --> 00:36:16.079
been the talk of the VS Office
and the film we're most excited for that

440
00:36:16.280 --> 00:36:22.960
is super interesting. Then in February, we've got another blood Silk Delight from

441
00:36:22.960 --> 00:36:27.119
Hong Kong, along with the melty
treat of American folk horror in addition to

442
00:36:27.159 --> 00:36:32.679
a psychotic yet beautiful slice of Eastern
euro sci fi. March is shaping up

443
00:36:32.760 --> 00:36:37.519
to offer a box set celebrating one
of Mexico's most acclaimed genre film directors,

444
00:36:37.559 --> 00:36:43.360
including new four K restorations of some
of his most iconic works, along with

445
00:36:43.599 --> 00:36:49.239
four k's of a late nineties indie
shocker in an eighties Italian American gore Fest.

446
00:36:49.800 --> 00:36:52.599
And then the rest of the year
will bring disc including several blu ray

447
00:36:52.679 --> 00:36:58.880
and four K debuts of plentiful slasher
rarities, some of which have never legally

448
00:36:58.920 --> 00:37:02.519
made it off tape, Plus more
seventies and eighties exploitation and horror from the

449
00:37:02.639 --> 00:37:07.000
US and Europe, more regional weirdness, more Hong Kong action and horror,

450
00:37:07.119 --> 00:37:13.199
and of course more jolly plus in
honor of our tenth anniversary, and this

451
00:37:13.280 --> 00:37:15.880
is the exciting part for a lot
of people. We're working on an epic

452
00:37:15.960 --> 00:37:22.159
box set that will speak both to
the origins and history of vinegar Syndrome and

453
00:37:22.280 --> 00:37:28.960
champion the type of way out forgotten
films we were founded on releasing. Oh

454
00:37:29.000 --> 00:37:35.960
man, well, so correct me
if I'm wrong. If you're already a

455
00:37:35.960 --> 00:37:37.519
subscriber, you didn't have to do
that. Twenty five dollars buy it and

456
00:37:37.840 --> 00:37:42.000
you still get your correct You'll get
a coupon near the end of December.

457
00:37:42.639 --> 00:37:49.119
This is you know, this is
very enticing. Bally, who I'm pretty

458
00:37:49.639 --> 00:37:53.199
listen to you read, I was
like, yeah, great year, And

459
00:37:53.679 --> 00:37:57.519
I gotta say I think I said
this last time we talked too. I

460
00:37:57.559 --> 00:38:05.280
really appreciate them that it center moving
the date of the subscriptions because things were

461
00:38:05.360 --> 00:38:10.239
just so jumbled up with the holidays
and last Friday sales and all of the

462
00:38:10.400 --> 00:38:17.760
labels kind of competing for space.
And I think this really, I would

463
00:38:17.760 --> 00:38:22.199
think this would give more people a
chance to give it a shot if they

464
00:38:22.199 --> 00:38:29.039
haven't done it before, and make
it easier for people to renew because you

465
00:38:29.039 --> 00:38:32.519
can wait till that January paycheck comes
in. Yeah, I would agree.

466
00:38:32.320 --> 00:38:37.840
No Christmas shopping to interfere with no
you know, end of the year bills

467
00:38:37.880 --> 00:38:42.199
for people at you know, annual
car insurance payments or whatever that you got

468
00:38:42.199 --> 00:38:44.159
to do at the end of the
year. So this will be something that

469
00:38:44.199 --> 00:38:47.000
I think will help a lot of
people out. I've seen a lot of

470
00:38:47.000 --> 00:38:51.440
people speculate why they would do this, and I honestly think that's the main

471
00:38:51.480 --> 00:38:54.320
reason, just to separate it from
everything else. This will be a big

472
00:38:54.360 --> 00:38:59.679
boon in the number of subscribers.
I'm betting, I hope. So I

473
00:39:00.199 --> 00:39:06.199
really like that model, and I
like it as a way to support,

474
00:39:06.800 --> 00:39:12.599
you know, small boutique labels that
are catering to a pretty small niche market,

475
00:39:12.960 --> 00:39:20.920
but in an enthusiastic market, and
it's a way to kind of subsidize

476
00:39:19.000 --> 00:39:27.599
the films that'll have a smaller market. Right, Yes, that is absolutely

477
00:39:27.639 --> 00:39:30.800
true. And I completely agree with
Terry here who says sounds like a strong

478
00:39:30.840 --> 00:39:35.559
first quarter for them. It feels
like the year to subscribe. And I

479
00:39:35.559 --> 00:39:39.039
don't know about you, I feel
like twenty twenty two has been a banner

480
00:39:39.119 --> 00:39:45.800
year for them for their overall Slate
has been incredible. I think a lot

481
00:39:45.800 --> 00:39:51.320
of the moves that they've made have
been a better It seems a little more

482
00:39:51.320 --> 00:39:54.760
focused than it was for a few
years. And because we've gotten some newer

483
00:39:54.800 --> 00:39:58.840
titles, I think that scared some
people that it would be like a little

484
00:39:58.880 --> 00:40:02.039
more mainstream, you know, with
things like Drop Dead Fred and then I

485
00:40:02.039 --> 00:40:06.119
mean we got Amdeville Whore in Texas, Chainsaw Masker to this year, and

486
00:40:06.159 --> 00:40:09.119
four K releases, and those are
compared to you know, like some of

487
00:40:09.159 --> 00:40:15.880
the older you know, bloodbeats of
the group. Those are very mainstream titles,

488
00:40:15.920 --> 00:40:22.400
so I don't see it staying mainstream
in full. However, those mainstream

489
00:40:22.440 --> 00:40:24.559
titles are going to sell pretty well, and those are going to be able

490
00:40:24.559 --> 00:40:30.400
to subsidize some of those lower end
ones that will not be able to sell

491
00:40:30.679 --> 00:40:34.639
eight thousand copies in three months.
So it's a good idea, it's a

492
00:40:34.679 --> 00:40:37.159
good way to help support the company, and I just wish them the best

493
00:40:37.159 --> 00:40:42.039
of success. Yeah. Yeah,
you know, it's not like they're putting

494
00:40:42.039 --> 00:40:52.119
out Battlefield Earth or something. You
know, that's for Mill Creek. What

495
00:40:52.239 --> 00:40:57.519
a specific joke. And this is
the only group that could understand it because

496
00:40:57.519 --> 00:41:02.280
they actually put out Battlefield Earth.
So that's what a random movie to come

497
00:41:02.360 --> 00:41:06.719
up with in my head and bring
the slam at home. That's great.

498
00:41:06.760 --> 00:41:13.880
That's synergy right there. That's a
not senergy chemistry or whatever kismet. Let's

499
00:41:13.920 --> 00:41:17.599
move on. Brain Donors is coming
from Keena lober In twenty twenty three,

500
00:41:17.719 --> 00:41:22.559
and this got a lot of people
excited. Uh. This is getting a

501
00:41:22.599 --> 00:41:27.119
new twenty twenty three HD master from
a four K scan of the ocen the

502
00:41:27.199 --> 00:41:30.440
stars John Terturo, Mel Smith,
Bob Nelson, and nets Nancy Marshaun.

503
00:41:31.119 --> 00:41:36.519
Uh. This is directed by Dennis
Dugan, who did Happy Gilmore. Yeah,

504
00:41:36.679 --> 00:41:38.760
Brain Donors, what do you think
of Raindnors? Well, it's got

505
00:41:38.800 --> 00:41:45.360
the sharp, snappy riding of Pat
Proft and the lazy, generic direction of

506
00:41:45.360 --> 00:41:54.800
Dennis Dugan. I remember seeing this
as a as a kid and and enjoying

507
00:41:54.840 --> 00:42:01.079
it. It was it was such
a throwback of a film, and Toturo

508
00:42:01.519 --> 00:42:07.599
has such a great time with it. Having seen this in a long time,

509
00:42:07.760 --> 00:42:09.920
so I don't know if I'm gonna
get a copy, and I'm definitely

510
00:42:09.960 --> 00:42:15.559
gonna watch it and and and give
it another run. Yeah, And to

511
00:42:15.559 --> 00:42:22.960
be fair to mister Dugan, Happy
Happy Gilmore is in my opinion, still

512
00:42:23.559 --> 00:42:25.880
you broke up there at the end. It's in your opinion. It's what

513
00:42:28.440 --> 00:42:32.280
i'd say, Happy Gilmore is still
the best Adam Sammon out of all of

514
00:42:32.320 --> 00:42:37.320
his films. Happy his best film. Yeah, that includes Punch Struck Love.

515
00:42:37.400 --> 00:42:43.239
Yeah, I think, yeah,
that is I think a very hot

516
00:42:43.239 --> 00:42:45.840
take. I would say even uncut
Gems would be way above that one.

517
00:42:46.440 --> 00:42:50.639
I don't know if it was sarcasm
or not. At this point, I

518
00:42:50.639 --> 00:42:55.480
don't even I don't even know that
I could say it's his best comedy.

519
00:42:55.760 --> 00:42:59.119
No, I think I think I'm
down that hill. Yeah, I'm down

520
00:42:59.199 --> 00:43:06.559
that hill is better than Punstruck Love
and way shorter. I mean, Happy

521
00:43:06.559 --> 00:43:12.039
Gilbourg is great. But good lord, on a serious question, Rubin says,

522
00:43:12.199 --> 00:43:16.679
is a vs subscription five hundred monthly
and good gosh, no, last

523
00:43:16.760 --> 00:43:22.559
year was the most expensive year so
far, and it was I think before

524
00:43:22.760 --> 00:43:27.440
the discount it was like nine to
sixty for the year, and undoubtedly it

525
00:43:27.480 --> 00:43:30.840
will be more of this coming year. I'm not shocked at all that it

526
00:43:30.920 --> 00:43:35.119
is probably gonna be over one thousand
this coming year. Inflation. Obviously we've

527
00:43:35.119 --> 00:43:37.199
had supply chain issues, but on
top of that, they're doing more four

528
00:43:37.280 --> 00:43:44.679
K and four K restorations are notoriously
expensive as shit. If you saw my

529
00:43:44.719 --> 00:43:50.079
interview with the deaf crocodile guys,
they said, an easy, an easier

530
00:43:50.119 --> 00:43:53.199
four K restoration that doesn't take a
lot of work. It's usually on the

531
00:43:53.239 --> 00:43:57.719
realm of about fifty grand, and
a lot of them will go up to

532
00:43:57.760 --> 00:44:00.559
about seventy five grand, which is
a lot of money just for the restoration.

533
00:44:01.599 --> 00:44:05.280
Thankfully, they do a lot of
the work themselves, so they can

534
00:44:05.320 --> 00:44:09.400
subsidize that by giving cheap labor.
However, a lot of their stuff they

535
00:44:09.400 --> 00:44:14.079
don't do themselves either. A lot
of the foreign films, the negatives aren't

536
00:44:14.079 --> 00:44:15.440
allowed to leave the country, so
they do have to pay for a lot

537
00:44:15.440 --> 00:44:20.360
of those. My guess for the
coming year, and I would love to

538
00:44:20.360 --> 00:44:22.559
hear what you think of this speculation. And since this isn't brain downers,

539
00:44:22.599 --> 00:44:27.320
I will pull that out the screen. Somebody asked me what I speculated,

540
00:44:27.360 --> 00:44:30.679
and I had a few guesses,
and obviously they've changed since I made this

541
00:44:30.760 --> 00:44:35.000
first guess. I said that it
was likely without any discounts, going to

542
00:44:35.079 --> 00:44:39.000
be ten ninety nine if they gave
people an opportunity that did a flash sale

543
00:44:39.000 --> 00:44:43.039
pre order to get a small discount, it'd probably be ten forty nine,

544
00:44:43.559 --> 00:44:46.079
and then people that were a subscriber
this year was probably going to be nine

545
00:44:46.159 --> 00:44:51.280
ninety nine, just to give people
that little legacy discount. But it sounds

546
00:44:51.320 --> 00:44:54.400
like they're only going to give current
subscribers that same fifty dollars discount, So

547
00:44:54.920 --> 00:45:01.000
I don't see it going much higher
than ten ninety nine. I could say.

548
00:45:01.000 --> 00:45:04.519
I mean, I'm not trying to
chill for the company or anything,

549
00:45:04.599 --> 00:45:10.639
but I always thought it was a
pretty good deal. Even if it goes

550
00:45:10.719 --> 00:45:16.559
up. You're talking less less than
one hundred dollars a month for for for

551
00:45:16.760 --> 00:45:21.960
these releases, so for that are
consistent, and I think, what do

552
00:45:22.000 --> 00:45:24.639
you have one month where there's two
months where there's no releases, right,

553
00:45:25.079 --> 00:45:31.719
correct, But but you get like
the discounts for the partner sales and and

554
00:45:31.880 --> 00:45:37.480
things like that. So yeah,
I was I resisted the subscription at first,

555
00:45:37.639 --> 00:45:42.199
just because paying up front was kind
of a sticker shop for me.

556
00:45:42.840 --> 00:45:47.519
But then when I kind of looked
at the release catalog and the and the

557
00:45:47.920 --> 00:45:52.960
number of films that I wanted to
pick up, it quickly became obvious that

558
00:45:53.039 --> 00:46:00.880
there was much more economical to to
subscribe, even even going up a little

559
00:46:00.880 --> 00:46:06.079
bit. So, well, I'm
gonna pull down this other screen that I've

560
00:46:06.079 --> 00:46:13.320
been sharing, and I'm gonna actually
show everybody on this little thing a spreadsheet

561
00:46:13.320 --> 00:46:17.199
that one of the patrons shared in
the discord. And this is a list

562
00:46:17.239 --> 00:46:22.360
of every release that came out this
year from the Vinegar Syndrome line and the

563
00:46:22.400 --> 00:46:27.480
total costs. So if you were
to get everything at MSRP, which nobody

564
00:46:27.559 --> 00:46:31.760
ever spends MSRP, we understand that
it was nineteen hundred and sixteen dollars.

565
00:46:32.360 --> 00:46:37.679
The regular price with no discounts on
anything, totaled thirteen hundred and twenty six

566
00:46:37.719 --> 00:46:44.800
dollars. And the sub price that
this patron had spent last year, which

567
00:46:44.920 --> 00:46:49.559
was discounted, it was eight ninety
five. If you did it without being

568
00:46:49.559 --> 00:46:52.639
a sub the year previously, it
was I believe nine to sixty last year.

569
00:46:52.800 --> 00:46:58.760
So just by subscribing, if you
look at this, because there's no

570
00:46:58.840 --> 00:47:01.599
other way to get discounts on all
of these other titles, you are saving

571
00:47:02.079 --> 00:47:07.440
more than three hundred dollars alone if
you're gonna get all of the titles.

572
00:47:07.679 --> 00:47:12.719
Now, on top of that,
then there's also discounts on the VSA's the

573
00:47:12.800 --> 00:47:15.719
VSUS if you're going to get any
of them, and then all of the

574
00:47:15.760 --> 00:47:20.280
partner labels. And Eric is the
patron that shared that, So thank you.

575
00:47:21.920 --> 00:47:29.880
I love I love how detailed people
in this community can get what they're

576
00:47:30.000 --> 00:47:34.599
what they're collecting. And you should
see all the lists and databases I have

577
00:47:37.320 --> 00:47:42.280
on my desktop too, So I
applaud you Eric. That's that's a nice

578
00:47:42.719 --> 00:47:49.840
snapshot to demonstrate the economy of this. Absolutely, let's keep going though.

579
00:47:50.159 --> 00:47:54.280
That was brain Donors. Next,
Kena Lober announced a four k uhd of

580
00:47:54.400 --> 00:48:00.760
Staying Alive with John Travolta. This
one is directed by I sliced alone himself.

581
00:48:04.159 --> 00:48:07.360
Yeah, this is the first time
that they announced a four k and

582
00:48:07.360 --> 00:48:10.760
I was like, I don't know
that I want this one at all.

583
00:48:14.119 --> 00:48:17.320
What do you think is Staying Alive? So so I teach a course on

584
00:48:17.480 --> 00:48:22.920
musicals as well, and Saturday Night
Fever is one of the films that I

585
00:48:22.960 --> 00:48:28.079
showed in the later half of the
film of the of the course, and

586
00:48:30.159 --> 00:48:35.639
I'm always surprised at how good of
a movie. It is, no doubt

587
00:48:35.719 --> 00:48:42.639
due to the work of production assistant
Lloyd Kaufman. But I've never seen this

588
00:48:42.920 --> 00:48:47.880
sort of sequel. It has a
terrible reputation, and I'm now at a

589
00:48:47.960 --> 00:48:51.000
point in my life where I'm like, you know what, I need to

590
00:48:51.039 --> 00:48:53.239
see this, So I do,
I do, I do really want to

591
00:48:53.280 --> 00:48:57.400
watch it. I doubt I'll pick
it up, but maybe it will surprise

592
00:48:57.480 --> 00:49:05.800
me. I don't know, you
know. So that's just alone, especially

593
00:49:05.800 --> 00:49:12.239
at this point in his career.
He wrote and directed some some compelling stuff.

594
00:49:12.519 --> 00:49:16.639
Yeah uh and so yeah, I'm
gonna give this a shot. I'm

595
00:49:16.639 --> 00:49:20.159
not gonna. I'm not gonna because
I'm just because I've never seen it,

596
00:49:20.199 --> 00:49:27.719
and i've I've kind of snickered at
it based on reputational none. So I

597
00:49:27.760 --> 00:49:32.000
will. I will wait for your
review before I jump in. It'll take

598
00:49:32.039 --> 00:49:37.320
me a while to get around to
it. This is certainly not the Paramount

599
00:49:37.360 --> 00:49:40.000
titles I was hoping for when they
announced a deal with Paramount. So I

600
00:49:40.480 --> 00:49:46.000
really hope that somebody good is going
to handle some of these Paramount restorations because

601
00:49:46.000 --> 00:49:51.960
they've got Sadly, they've got some
incredible titles in their catalog that have never

602
00:49:52.360 --> 00:49:58.639
seen a great release, and lately, at least, I mean, Paramount

603
00:49:58.679 --> 00:50:04.199
has not been doing great restle some
are incredible and some are just an absolute

604
00:50:04.199 --> 00:50:07.679
waste of time. So I hope
that we are able to see something good

605
00:50:07.679 --> 00:50:14.719
handled here soon. Next up,
though, that was just a shout out

606
00:50:14.719 --> 00:50:19.440
for the Patreon, we'll talk about
this one a little bit because we've got

607
00:50:19.480 --> 00:50:23.159
some more details. The Dentist is
coming from Restro on Video, and we'll

608
00:50:23.199 --> 00:50:27.480
talk about this more in a second
because we got some details. But on

609
00:50:27.559 --> 00:50:30.599
this one, it is coming on
January twenty fourth. It is going to

610
00:50:30.599 --> 00:50:35.760
be both The Dentist and The Dentist
two in the same package, and it

611
00:50:35.840 --> 00:50:39.719
is a two disc set, and
I think oh in one or two posts

612
00:50:39.719 --> 00:50:43.400
we'll talk about the full extras and
then you can dive into that. One.

613
00:50:44.760 --> 00:50:49.239
January thirty first Disney Movie Club exclusive
is coming with a Mickey and Mini

614
00:50:49.320 --> 00:50:53.039
ten classic shorts set. A couple
of these are making their HD debut on

615
00:50:53.079 --> 00:50:57.639
this set, and this is labeled
as a volume one, so there will

616
00:50:57.679 --> 00:51:05.119
be more coming probably again. Disney
Movie Club is surprisingly worth it if you

617
00:51:05.280 --> 00:51:07.800
are into a lot of the Disney
stuff. They have some decent exclusives and

618
00:51:07.840 --> 00:51:14.119
it's much much better to pay.
It's like ten dollars on sale for a

619
00:51:14.119 --> 00:51:19.639
lot of their exclusives, and then
if you are a movie club member and

620
00:51:19.639 --> 00:51:22.480
you've already done your whole commitment thing, you don't ever have to spend any

621
00:51:22.559 --> 00:51:25.920
money ever again. You can just
keep it open and decline the monthly things

622
00:51:25.960 --> 00:51:30.800
they send you and then get these
exclusives as they get announced, so it

623
00:51:30.800 --> 00:51:31.880
can be worth it if you're into
it. I got a link on there

624
00:51:34.079 --> 00:51:39.480
No Big Deal. Crimes of the
Future from David Cronenberg is coming on four

625
00:51:39.639 --> 00:51:45.960
K from DCAL on January thirty first. And when this originally got announced,

626
00:51:45.000 --> 00:51:50.239
this pissed off a lot of people
because they conveniently announced it just like a

627
00:51:50.400 --> 00:51:52.719
couple weeks after the Blu Ray came
out. Did you get a chance to

628
00:51:52.719 --> 00:51:55.880
see this one this year? I
did ast in the theater, which I

629
00:51:55.960 --> 00:52:01.400
was super excited about, and then
I knew there was gonna be a four

630
00:52:01.480 --> 00:52:05.199
K, of course, but I
jumped the gun and got the Blu Ray

631
00:52:05.719 --> 00:52:15.280
and I'll upgrade eventually. Cronenberg is
probably my all time favorite director. Sometimes

632
00:52:15.400 --> 00:52:20.079
sometimes I switch it around in my
but in my heart I know it's it's

633
00:52:20.079 --> 00:52:27.199
always going to be him, and
I I really enjoyed this movie because I

634
00:52:27.199 --> 00:52:30.800
felt like he was revisiting some themes
from the perspective of a of a person

635
00:52:30.960 --> 00:52:40.840
late in life, and it was
gross and I just loved it. So

636
00:52:42.280 --> 00:52:45.559
I'll get the get the damn four
K. The hard part about this release

637
00:52:45.639 --> 00:52:49.880
too, I don't think any of
these extras were on the Blu Ray release

638
00:52:50.000 --> 00:52:54.159
at all. Nope. So not
only is it an upgrade to the video,

639
00:52:54.760 --> 00:52:59.239
this is an upgrade in every sense
of the word. And it comes

640
00:53:00.400 --> 00:53:02.239
it had to have been. When
this comes out, it'll be January,

641
00:53:02.280 --> 00:53:07.320
so by then it might be five
months after the Blu Ray came out,

642
00:53:07.320 --> 00:53:13.079
but this will be on shelves.
Yeah, this is that's rough to do

643
00:53:13.159 --> 00:53:21.960
to people. Anyways. I put
up an interview with Troy Howard, who

644
00:53:22.000 --> 00:53:25.480
is incredible, talked about Jolly,
talked about amberto Lenzi, talked about some

645
00:53:25.519 --> 00:53:30.119
of his favorite directors, and all
kinds of things from cancel culture to why

646
00:53:30.199 --> 00:53:34.000
Criterion has been slipping. Give it
a watch. If you are into it,

647
00:53:34.559 --> 00:53:37.440
that's amazing. You've been You've been
killing it with the interviews. Man,

648
00:53:37.800 --> 00:53:42.360
You're just getting so many great people. My only complaint is that it's

649
00:53:42.360 --> 00:53:45.960
hard for me to keep up.
Well, thank you, I've I've noted

650
00:53:46.000 --> 00:53:50.039
that and because of that, I've
got like five already recorded. I'm just

651
00:53:50.119 --> 00:53:55.559
kind of trying to slip him out
there as I can. Wonderful next announcement,

652
00:53:57.000 --> 00:54:00.719
rlj E and Shutter are putting out
VHS ninety nine on Blu Ray.

653
00:54:00.760 --> 00:54:02.719
This should be no surprise. They've
pretty much been doing that for all of

654
00:54:02.760 --> 00:54:08.559
those Shutter films. This it continues, this turns into a franchise. I

655
00:54:08.559 --> 00:54:14.039
guess the VHS franchise some some really
interesting stuff lately. Did you see this

656
00:54:14.079 --> 00:54:17.400
one yet? No, not yet, but it's definitely high on my watch

657
00:54:17.440 --> 00:54:22.320
list. What do you think of
anthologies overall? Because I know some people

658
00:54:22.519 --> 00:54:25.719
hate them and some people really enjoy
them. Well, you know, it's

659
00:54:25.719 --> 00:54:30.119
like any other kind of movie.
It's good, it's good, and if

660
00:54:30.119 --> 00:54:36.360
it's not, I mean, but
I mean, as far as the format

661
00:54:36.440 --> 00:54:45.559
goes, I really enjoy the opportunity
to watch several short films, especially if

662
00:54:45.559 --> 00:54:47.800
they're short films by directors that I
like, that are that are linked together.

663
00:54:49.320 --> 00:54:52.320
You know, you think of Body
Bags with Tobey Hooper and Non Carpenter.

664
00:54:53.400 --> 00:54:59.760
You think of and then you think
of something like Tales from the Hood,

665
00:55:00.000 --> 00:55:04.559
you know, which is you know, the single director, you know

666
00:55:05.559 --> 00:55:08.199
their vision. There have been plenty
of anthology movies that have been kind of

667
00:55:08.199 --> 00:55:15.639
black, but so many are classic. You know. Was it was it

668
00:55:15.760 --> 00:55:22.280
Amicist that did the Tales from the
Crypt the original one? I think,

669
00:55:22.320 --> 00:55:24.199
so, yeah, that's a great
one. And you get to see the

670
00:55:24.280 --> 00:55:34.199
embryonic version of the Santa Claus Schwart
that got that got reworked by Roberts Mechis

671
00:55:34.199 --> 00:55:37.639
and the Tales from the Crypt television
show. Yeah. Really really perfect time

672
00:55:37.679 --> 00:55:39.239
of year to watch it if you've
never seen it either, Yeah, yeah,

673
00:55:39.400 --> 00:55:45.320
definitely. Uh and Severn put out
that great documentary what what was it?

674
00:55:45.480 --> 00:55:49.480
Do you remember the title of it? The great documentary about anthology films

675
00:55:50.639 --> 00:55:55.480
that I think anybody I don't remember
the name off hand, somebody will say

676
00:55:55.480 --> 00:55:59.920
it in the chat. I'm sure
no matter what your opinion, I told

677
00:55:59.960 --> 00:56:04.119
you films as a documentary worth seeing. So yeah, yeah, I don't

678
00:56:04.119 --> 00:56:07.320
know. I don't know why.
Well, I mean, I can't speculate

679
00:56:07.360 --> 00:56:13.280
on people's reasons, like why would
you object? I think it might be

680
00:56:13.280 --> 00:56:16.440
for the opposite reason that I genuinely
love anthology films and I a lot of

681
00:56:16.440 --> 00:56:21.880
times I will prefer to run to
anthology films. The documentary is called Tales

682
00:56:21.920 --> 00:56:27.119
of Anny. That's from John.
Thank you John. I prefer anthology films

683
00:56:27.119 --> 00:56:30.880
a lot of the time because I
when I like ingested novels day to day.

684
00:56:30.920 --> 00:56:35.760
When I was younger, I loved
short stories, stuff like the Stephen

685
00:56:35.840 --> 00:56:40.079
King shorts, some of the oh
gosh, some of the old like mystery

686
00:56:40.119 --> 00:56:45.760
tales that were out of mostly out
of like the UK from back in the

687
00:56:45.840 --> 00:56:50.480
day. I would just dive in
and the coolest thing would be able to

688
00:56:50.599 --> 00:56:52.920
set it down for just a minute, go do something else and come back

689
00:56:52.960 --> 00:56:53.920
and not be in the middle of
a story. You could finish one in

690
00:56:54.000 --> 00:57:00.079
just a few pages. And with
anthologies it's so it's such a similar feeling.

691
00:57:00.119 --> 00:57:05.239
But with film it's it's kind of
a little it's maybe a little more

692
00:57:05.280 --> 00:57:08.519
antagonistic emotionally, because if you're going
to get invested in it, it's a

693
00:57:08.559 --> 00:57:14.360
lot easier to emotionally invest in a
character that you're seeing for twenty minutes.

694
00:57:14.400 --> 00:57:16.880
They're going to be gone and you
can be shocked, but then immediately dive

695
00:57:16.920 --> 00:57:21.920
into something else and it's just exciting
to see. Yeah. Yeah, there

696
00:57:21.920 --> 00:57:24.679
have been several good ones recently.
Another one that shut her put out that

697
00:57:24.719 --> 00:57:29.800
I liked was a scare Package.
I thought that was yep, and John

698
00:57:29.840 --> 00:57:31.360
is sharing scare package too. Is
coming to Shutter, I believe at the

699
00:57:31.440 --> 00:57:35.760
end of this month. Sweet I
wonder, I wonder if they got Joe

700
00:57:35.760 --> 00:57:40.599
Bob again, that would be a
sight to see. Next up, we

701
00:57:40.760 --> 00:57:46.079
are getting another Shutter film with somebody
that we're talking about tonight. Dario Argento's

702
00:57:46.119 --> 00:57:52.079
Dark Glasses is coming to Blue on
February fourteenth, Valentine's Day. Hoping this

703
00:57:52.159 --> 00:57:54.440
has some sort of special features on
there. I have not seen this yet

704
00:57:54.480 --> 00:57:58.159
because I've been waiting to watch it
on Blu Ray. But this is one

705
00:57:58.639 --> 00:58:01.840
that a lot of people like a
lot. It seems to be, you

706
00:58:01.880 --> 00:58:06.480
know, not one of his masterpieces, but at least better than the last

707
00:58:06.519 --> 00:58:10.599
twenty three issue years of his output. Oh man, well, I won't

708
00:58:10.639 --> 00:58:16.320
spoil anything for you, but I
will say, like Crimes of the Future,

709
00:58:16.719 --> 00:58:22.679
it really is really it really revisits
themes from his early years from the

710
00:58:22.719 --> 00:58:31.320
perspective of an older person. And
uh and oh thanks Stan and uh and

711
00:58:32.159 --> 00:58:39.519
for someone like our Jento, who
whose color palette has always been so intense,

712
00:58:40.159 --> 00:58:49.519
to have a film that kind of
conveys the the experience of a of

713
00:58:49.559 --> 00:58:57.199
a character who's who's sightless. It
is really interesting, like he changes his

714
00:58:57.320 --> 00:59:01.400
color palette in really interesting ways.
And I'll stop there because I'll be ready

715
00:59:01.440 --> 00:59:06.599
when you do see it. I
really want to hear your thoughts about some

716
00:59:06.599 --> 00:59:10.679
some of the elements of the film. Nice and I love that Urgento ties

717
00:59:10.719 --> 00:59:17.159
into another interesting sense heavy film that
we could allude to a little bit,

718
00:59:17.199 --> 00:59:23.119
which is Vortex from Gaspernoue this year. Yeah. Really interesting take on two

719
00:59:23.440 --> 00:59:29.760
filmmakers that have been, you know, called masters of the craft and hated

720
00:59:29.760 --> 00:59:34.440
by many bolt at the same time. And to be at their ages and

721
00:59:34.519 --> 00:59:37.960
their level still be putting out what
they are putting out right now is exciting

722
00:59:38.079 --> 00:59:45.559
for all of us as consumers.
Next up, really cool one. I

723
00:59:45.840 --> 00:59:51.159
did not expect this at all.
January twenty fourth, we are getting Belly

724
00:59:51.440 --> 00:59:57.400
on four K from Lionsgate. This
is the NAS and DMX film method Man

725
00:59:57.480 --> 00:59:59.639
is in this as well. That's
the other big one that people know.

726
01:00:00.400 --> 01:00:04.199
The cool thing. This has one
of the special lions Gate four Gate Steel

727
01:00:04.199 --> 01:00:08.320
books that is available at best Buy
you can pre order. Now. We'll

728
01:00:08.320 --> 01:00:12.239
get to a picture of that in
a little while, but it looks like

729
01:00:12.280 --> 01:00:17.920
it's probably gonna be a great release. So I'm a huge TLC fan and

730
01:00:19.000 --> 01:00:24.960
when I was in high school,
I had the biggest crush on Tema.

731
01:00:25.199 --> 01:00:35.000
So that's all I got to say
about I'm want to see it. That

732
01:00:35.039 --> 01:00:37.360
makes sense. Yeah, I can't
wait to the opening of this film on

733
01:00:37.440 --> 01:00:39.400
four K. It's gonna look amazing. You can pre order it now.

734
01:00:40.239 --> 01:00:46.239
And here is the Vestron release that
Will is dying to talk about, January

735
01:00:46.239 --> 01:00:51.239
twenty fourth from Vestauran. Here is
the cover for the Dentist Collection. So

736
01:00:51.480 --> 01:00:57.119
for special features, we got an
audio commentary with Brian Usena and the makeup

737
01:00:57.159 --> 01:01:01.880
special effects supervisor Anthony C. Ferrante. That is happening on both films.

738
01:01:02.239 --> 01:01:07.159
We have isolated score selections and audio
interviews with the composer Alan Howarth and the

739
01:01:07.239 --> 01:01:13.440
DP Levi Isaacs. The Doctor Is
Insane an interview with actor Corbin Bernson,

740
01:01:14.000 --> 01:01:17.760
an interview with the co writer Dennis
Powley, and interviews with special makeup effects

741
01:01:17.880 --> 01:01:22.199
artist supervisor Anthony C. Ferrante and
makeup effects artist J. M. Logan.

742
01:01:22.360 --> 01:01:27.239
That is called The Mouths of Madness. Then on the second film,

743
01:01:27.360 --> 01:01:31.519
we are getting another commentary, those
same isolated score selections and interviews, interview

744
01:01:31.559 --> 01:01:37.119
with the actress Julian mcwerder, and
then an interview with producer Pierre David.

745
01:01:37.800 --> 01:01:43.119
This is pretty damn loaded for a
restaurant release, and this is still only

746
01:01:43.119 --> 01:01:45.480
going to be like I think you
can pre order this from Diabolic right now

747
01:01:45.480 --> 01:01:53.800
for like seventeen dollars yep, which
I did nice. So excited about this.

748
01:01:53.960 --> 01:01:59.880
I was actually looking at some I
think they're German. Blu Ray release

749
01:02:00.119 --> 01:02:04.840
is like super pricey, have no
idea what the quality was, uh,

750
01:02:05.079 --> 01:02:07.800
but I was like, I gotta
get I gotta get the dentist on Blu

751
01:02:07.880 --> 01:02:15.280
Ray because my copies of both films
are like beat up old blockbuster rental uh

752
01:02:15.440 --> 01:02:22.320
DVDs. And this is so exciting. Brian Usa does not still does not

753
01:02:22.400 --> 01:02:27.360
get enough credit as a director.
I saw some people be smirching him on

754
01:02:27.400 --> 01:02:32.320
Twitter just the other day with some
unkind comments about Returning of the Living Dead

755
01:02:32.360 --> 01:02:38.639
three, and I'm like, are
you crazy? The film is a masterpiece.

756
01:02:40.239 --> 01:02:51.360
Brian Usa is is a perfect example
of, ah, what truly visionary,

757
01:02:53.000 --> 01:03:00.440
multi multi hyphen right producer director can
do in the direct to video realm.

758
01:03:00.840 --> 01:03:07.920
That was so awesome in the in
the nineties, working with low budgets,

759
01:03:07.960 --> 01:03:12.679
working with really interesting actors. Corbyn
Burnson is awesome in The Dentist.

760
01:03:13.079 --> 01:03:20.400
These these movies are harrowing and but
also funny, but also speaking of capitalism

761
01:03:20.440 --> 01:03:25.440
as as stand mentioned, uh that
there's so much social commentary in about the

762
01:03:25.519 --> 01:03:37.719
you know, bougie, upper middle
class and wealthy sort of social strata,

763
01:03:38.639 --> 01:03:44.719
which which using it has done throughout
his career with society with the films.

764
01:03:44.800 --> 01:03:51.519
And Jillian McWorter is really good in
this film The Dentist too. Both of

765
01:03:51.559 --> 01:03:54.119
these are so great I've been waiting
forever. In fact, Jillian McWhorter is

766
01:03:54.159 --> 01:03:59.519
also in another Brian using a film
that has that I hope will be hitting.

767
01:04:00.199 --> 01:04:05.559
I hope someone from vestaurants watching tonight. And it's thinking about progeny,

768
01:04:05.679 --> 01:04:11.480
which is I haven't heard that name
in so long, true, true masterpiece

769
01:04:11.519 --> 01:04:24.320
by Yusna and and one of the
an amazing film about the way a pregnant

770
01:04:24.320 --> 01:04:30.920
women are are are distrusted by the
medical establishment and by everybody around them,

771
01:04:30.960 --> 01:04:35.320
like nobody is listening to this woman
and and and it's a great film.

772
01:04:35.440 --> 01:04:40.800
So yeah, I'm so excited about
the Dentist collection. I'm I can't even

773
01:04:40.920 --> 01:04:45.840
put my sentences together because of the
excitement that I feel u for for Brian.

774
01:04:45.920 --> 01:04:49.000
More Brian and Vestron has been doing
great. They did return the Living

775
01:04:49.039 --> 01:04:54.559
Dead three, didn't they. They're
doing The Silent Night definitely in Night three

776
01:04:54.599 --> 01:04:59.400
through five, right yes, sir, and of course part four Brian usma

777
01:05:00.039 --> 01:05:05.280
sign Night the Early Night for colon
initiation. I still don't remember if I've

778
01:05:05.320 --> 01:05:11.639
seen The Dentist too. I have
clear recollection of The Dentist one and it

779
01:05:11.840 --> 01:05:15.039
freaked me the hell out. Yeah, watch them multiple times. Love that

780
01:05:15.159 --> 01:05:19.800
movie. Can't wait to see these. Hopefully the transfers are decent. That's

781
01:05:19.840 --> 01:05:24.159
been my only real worry with these
restaurants is ever since they went to the

782
01:05:24.960 --> 01:05:29.679
cheaper business model, it seems like
we're not getting high quality restorations. And

783
01:05:29.719 --> 01:05:33.119
I just hope that lines get understands
that people want the best out of these

784
01:05:33.119 --> 01:05:35.639
films. A lot of these are
films that we all grew up with and

785
01:05:35.679 --> 01:05:40.480
have a lot of nostalgia for,
a lot of respect for. And honestly,

786
01:05:40.719 --> 01:05:44.760
if if they needed to charge two
dollars more for everyone and we got

787
01:05:44.920 --> 01:05:47.519
a great restoration, I think a
lot of us would happily pay that I

788
01:05:47.679 --> 01:05:53.119
do it, and and another thing
Brian using it does great commentaries. Yes,

789
01:05:54.519 --> 01:05:58.480
so that's that's worth it for me
too. I'm so excited. And

790
01:05:58.599 --> 01:06:01.159
a lot of the titles that Vestrons
should be able to put out because they

791
01:06:01.199 --> 01:06:05.119
are associated with Lionsgate Doctor Giggles,
like Ragnar just said, is one of

792
01:06:05.119 --> 01:06:10.039
the big ones. I would not
be surprised if they start putting out some

793
01:06:10.079 --> 01:06:15.840
of these really really requested titles,
because it seems like they're finally coming around

794
01:06:15.840 --> 01:06:18.159
to some of them. I mean, even like Earth Girls that they just

795
01:06:18.159 --> 01:06:23.320
put out that that was a big
deal that they're putting that out, The

796
01:06:23.360 --> 01:06:26.199
Silent Night, Deadly Knights. I
don't think many people expected that we were

797
01:06:26.239 --> 01:06:29.639
going to get all three of those
in the same release. So excited.

798
01:06:30.039 --> 01:06:32.199
Yeah, so this is this is
actually really cool. I'm glad we're getting

799
01:06:32.199 --> 01:06:38.480
this. Then we got a glut
of Kenot announcements again. February twenty eighth,

800
01:06:38.519 --> 01:06:42.760
we were getting The Bliss of Missus
Blossom from nineteen sixty eight. This

801
01:06:43.079 --> 01:06:47.280
is a Shirley Maclain Richard Attenborough film. I don't know a dang thing about

802
01:06:47.280 --> 01:06:53.000
this one. Have you seen this
one before No. It's you know,

803
01:06:53.159 --> 01:07:01.079
part of that part of that period
of Jaunty likes high society comedies and action

804
01:07:01.199 --> 01:07:05.000
films, so yeah, you know
this one. This one looks kind of

805
01:07:05.039 --> 01:07:12.519
fun, but I'm not familiar with
it at all. Blessed Missus Blossom.

806
01:07:13.400 --> 01:07:17.519
Okay, great title from nineteen thirty
two. On February seventh, KNO is

807
01:07:17.559 --> 01:07:25.480
releasing Congress Dances, Yet another time
of my life that is super blind to

808
01:07:25.559 --> 01:07:28.840
film. I have very little from
the thirties and forties that I know much

809
01:07:28.880 --> 01:07:32.599
about, but this gets an audio
commentary from film historian Eddie von Mueller and

810
01:07:32.880 --> 01:07:41.480
some English subs. It's another fwmor
Now film. Any thoughts there? Way,

811
01:07:41.559 --> 01:07:45.039
this is directed by Eric It's one
of the ones that he did.

812
01:07:45.119 --> 01:07:49.119
I believe production for from a studio
or whatever. Okay, yeah, cool.

813
01:07:50.000 --> 01:07:54.559
I love the cast. Anything that
Conrad bidenism is cool. I'm not

814
01:07:54.599 --> 01:07:59.199
familiar with this film either, but
I'm very interested in seeing it. I'm

815
01:07:59.239 --> 01:08:04.280
particularly interested in this period of time, so this is an exciting release for

816
01:08:04.400 --> 01:08:10.039
me. Yeah, and obviously you've
been dealing with a lot of the thirties

817
01:08:10.239 --> 01:08:15.359
and around their films recently, so
that's cool. Next up, another Cohen

818
01:08:15.479 --> 01:08:18.159
Media film. This is one that
a lot of people are excited about,

819
01:08:18.199 --> 01:08:23.720
So jaquesra Vette film Love on the
Ground from nineteen eighty three. This is

820
01:08:23.720 --> 01:08:29.640
getting an audio commentary by the director
Emeritis New York Film Festival and Professor of

821
01:08:29.680 --> 01:08:33.680
Film and Media Studies Columbia University,
Richard Pana. It's got a trailer on

822
01:08:33.720 --> 01:08:38.000
it, but the big thing is
just a It's a revet film that stars

823
01:08:38.079 --> 01:08:42.680
Jane Berkin, and a lot of
people are into this. I don't even

824
01:08:42.720 --> 01:08:45.119
know that I've seen maybe one or
two other Ravet films. I don't think

825
01:08:45.119 --> 01:08:49.520
I've seen this one yet. Yeah, I like Vett and this is this

826
01:08:49.600 --> 01:08:54.760
is one that I haven't gotten to
see before. So pretty clean is that

827
01:08:55.279 --> 01:09:00.079
the opportunity Cohen Media is like quietly
killing it lately. They seem to be

828
01:09:00.119 --> 01:09:03.279
putting out like three or four a
month these last couple of months, and

829
01:09:03.720 --> 01:09:08.680
they all are just great titles.
Yeah, France has really getting a lot

830
01:09:08.720 --> 01:09:14.560
of love from Cohen I mean always, but yeah lately, just some really

831
01:09:14.600 --> 01:09:20.239
really good good films that haven't been
available. So it's true. Lots of

832
01:09:20.359 --> 01:09:25.800
true faux coming from Keno in February
as well, Speaking of France, coming

833
01:09:25.840 --> 01:09:29.520
on February twenty eighth from Keno The
Crimson Rivers. We talked about this one

834
01:09:29.560 --> 01:09:33.199
before, so we just got release
date and some special features. This one

835
01:09:33.359 --> 01:09:39.319
gets audio commentary by the director and
Jean Renaud and Vincent Cassell. There is

836
01:09:39.359 --> 01:09:45.520
a documentary on this called The Investigation, some other featurettes and it looks like

837
01:09:45.560 --> 01:09:54.840
a pretty strong release. Looks good
to me. Yeah, really excited director

838
01:09:54.880 --> 01:10:00.359
of hate and this is again a
film that I've wanted to see haven't had

839
01:10:00.399 --> 01:10:06.199
a chance. Next up, a
pretty exciting title that I posted about this

840
01:10:06.279 --> 01:10:11.880
morning, coming on February twenty seventh
on a four K steal book in the

841
01:10:12.000 --> 01:10:16.039
UK from Studio Canal. We are
getting The Man Who Fell to Earth from

842
01:10:16.119 --> 01:10:21.960
nineteen seventy six. This is a
title that has been a little difficult to

843
01:10:21.960 --> 01:10:25.760
see for some people, at least
on a good blu ray. This has

844
01:10:25.800 --> 01:10:29.399
been out of print for a while
and this is probably going to be a

845
01:10:29.600 --> 01:10:35.239
strong, strong release. Hopefully Studio
Canal doesn't put on their compression issues that

846
01:10:35.279 --> 01:10:39.239
they've been having on some of the
films over the last couple of years.

847
01:10:39.399 --> 01:10:42.319
This is probably going to sell pretty
well for them. The Man Who Fell

848
01:10:42.359 --> 01:10:45.600
to earth. What do you think
of Bowie in this film? I think

849
01:10:45.640 --> 01:10:54.279
all that needs to be said is
to look at the image there. It's

850
01:10:54.359 --> 01:11:00.680
beautiful and sexy and sad and wondrous
and excited and happy all at once.

851
01:11:01.319 --> 01:11:05.199
And I don't know if you're talking
about the film or Bowie both both,

852
01:11:08.039 --> 01:11:13.680
and really can you even separate him
because he's so he is this movie very

853
01:11:13.760 --> 01:11:18.159
much. Yeah, and you know
it's one of those born to play that

854
01:11:18.279 --> 01:11:27.520
part moments. I have the DVD
really release that Criterion did that. It

855
01:11:27.560 --> 01:11:30.079
also has the novel, so I
don't want to give that up, and

856
01:11:30.279 --> 01:11:36.119
unfortunately missed the opportunity when they when
Criterion briefly had their Blu ray upgrade.

857
01:11:36.560 --> 01:11:43.560
So fingers crossed that this will be
a good transfer and I'll be able to

858
01:11:43.600 --> 01:11:46.800
put them together. I think I'm
definitely gonna have to display this one with

859
01:11:46.880 --> 01:11:54.079
an emphasis on display. And who
knows Criterion but potentially could get the rights

860
01:11:54.119 --> 01:11:57.239
back for this in the US.
Yeah, this has nothing to do with

861
01:11:57.319 --> 01:12:01.279
the US necessarily, so we'll see. Yeah, this is that steel book

862
01:12:01.279 --> 01:12:04.800
for Belly that I talked about earlier. Really wanted to highlight the front cover

863
01:12:04.840 --> 01:12:09.479
of the steel book a little bit
so while zoom in there really interesting art.

864
01:12:09.479 --> 01:12:14.199
They got one of their Crazy lionsgateslip
covers with the normal art that you're

865
01:12:14.199 --> 01:12:16.399
going to pull off and be able
to see this behind it. This looks

866
01:12:16.520 --> 01:12:19.279
like a great release. Like I
said, you can pre order this now,

867
01:12:19.600 --> 01:12:24.439
lock it in and those best buy
pre orders those have been going fairly

868
01:12:24.520 --> 01:12:27.039
quickly, so if you're a steel
book collector, you might want to jump

869
01:12:27.079 --> 01:12:32.159
on that. Next up, this
is the exciting one I mentioned earlier,

870
01:12:32.239 --> 01:12:36.680
coming on December nineteenth, which is
in eighteenth days, and this just got

871
01:12:36.720 --> 01:12:44.520
announced today from Second Site in one
of their patented limited edition boxes. We

872
01:12:44.600 --> 01:12:48.720
are getting Tangerine from Sean Baker from
twenty fifteen, and for those that haven't

873
01:12:48.760 --> 01:12:55.560
seen it, the movie is incredible. Their synopsis they're using is after learning

874
01:12:55.880 --> 01:12:59.680
that her boyfriend cheated on her while
she was in jail, a transgender sex

875
01:12:59.680 --> 01:13:02.000
worker and her best friend set out
to find him and teach him and his

876
01:13:02.079 --> 01:13:08.920
new lover a lesson during a chaotic
Christmas eve. This is absolutely a Christmas

877
01:13:08.920 --> 01:13:13.199
film and we are getting all kinds
of extras on this. We get an

878
01:13:13.199 --> 01:13:19.760
audio commentary with Cerice Howard and Rohan
Spaung making of Tangerine called Mary Fucking Christmas,

879
01:13:20.039 --> 01:13:25.840
Staying authentic. Interview with Sean Baker, honest and hilarious. An interview

880
01:13:25.880 --> 01:13:30.800
with actor Mia Taylor or Maya Taylor, I think. Interview with actor Karen

881
01:13:30.000 --> 01:13:34.520
k I can't say that last name
Kara Gulian, interview with actor Mickey o'hagen,

Interview with Josh Sussman, Interview with

883
01:13:41.720 --> 01:13:45.039

884
01:13:45.159 --> 01:13:49.319

new artwork, sixty page book with new

886
01:13:54.960 --> 01:14:00.399
essays by a bunch of people and
six collectors art cards. Here's a up

887
01:14:00.520 --> 01:14:05.199
on that outer cover. Wow,
what do you think of Tangerine? Well,

888
01:14:05.279 --> 01:14:08.920
A huge fan of Sean Baker.
We've we've talked about him before.

889
01:14:08.960 --> 01:14:11.920
Of course you had a great endea
with him not too long ago. Uh.

890
01:14:12.600 --> 01:14:21.039
Tangerine is such it's for for uh
somebody who teaches film. Tangerine is

891
01:14:21.119 --> 01:14:27.239
such an important film in so many
different ways. The way it was filmed

892
01:14:27.800 --> 01:14:34.079
right on on iPhones. Yeah,
the subject matter obviously, that the the

893
01:14:34.079 --> 01:14:40.640
the dignity of of the characters even
as they you know, kind of deal

894
01:14:40.720 --> 01:14:46.920
with sordid situations. The fact that
this is not an exploit an exploitive take,

895
01:14:47.119 --> 01:14:53.399
as as so many films have been
with regard to subject matter like this,

896
01:14:53.520 --> 01:14:59.560
and and you know, people who
are in vulnerable populations. And I

897
01:14:59.560 --> 01:15:01.640
mean, just just look at that
cover. That cover really captures what's so

898
01:15:01.680 --> 01:15:08.039
gorgeous about the movie. Yeah,
and you know, I don't want to

899
01:15:08.079 --> 01:15:12.279
I don't want to like slabber all
over anybody, but Sean Baker is such

900
01:15:15.720 --> 01:15:18.840
the words kind of overused, but
he really is such an empathetic director.

901
01:15:19.159 --> 01:15:26.760
This film is just I'm thinking about
various Sean Baker movies. I'm trying not

902
01:15:26.840 --> 01:15:30.960
to get emotional because there's they're always
such experiences. So I'm really I'm really

903
01:15:30.960 --> 01:15:35.520
excited about about this. This is
a film that I teach a lot tindering

904
01:15:36.760 --> 01:15:45.640
for for both technical and technical reasons
and because of representational reasons, and so

905
01:15:45.760 --> 01:15:48.840
yeah, beautiful, beautiful. I
had one of the patrons in the discord

906
01:15:48.920 --> 01:15:54.479
ask about this film because they had
not seen it, and uh, rather

907
01:15:54.520 --> 01:16:01.239
flippantly, I responded that it is
a dramatic, sex work focused version of

908
01:16:01.359 --> 01:16:08.560
crazy stupid love. And obviously it's
not as simple as that, but it's

909
01:16:08.640 --> 01:16:13.760
a story that it's very easy to
get enraptured in different characters and then to

910
01:16:13.800 --> 01:16:17.159
see the way everything comes together at
the end of this, again the way

911
01:16:17.199 --> 01:16:20.560
Sean does every film. It's just
this perfect slice of life, and so

912
01:16:20.960 --> 01:16:26.520
to see how everything comes together in
this slice of life is just almost like

913
01:16:26.600 --> 01:16:30.000
therapeutic by the end of it,
the way that they're all affected. And

914
01:16:30.039 --> 01:16:33.479
it's a great one. Christian Zabi
blog is right. Florida Project another great

915
01:16:33.520 --> 01:16:38.479
one. Obviously, Red Rocket is
a great film, and then take Out

916
01:16:38.560 --> 01:16:43.760
just got a beautiful release from Criterion. There are supposedly more releases of his

917
01:16:43.920 --> 01:16:47.600
coming to some boutiques here soon.
Starlett I would not be surprised to see

918
01:16:47.600 --> 01:16:53.239
that was his one that came out
before Tangerine, and then he's got his

919
01:16:53.359 --> 01:16:56.479
one. I'm blanking on the name
right now, but it was the one

920
01:16:56.520 --> 01:17:00.520
that came after Takeout, and that's
most likely getting another release from somebody here

921
01:17:00.560 --> 01:17:09.960
soon. Moving to the next film
is all the OCN releases. I'm a

922
01:17:10.079 --> 01:17:16.640
transition, so from representation in Tangerine, let's start talking about bat Pussy.

923
01:17:20.159 --> 01:17:25.119
In the previous segment, I came
off as almost a good person. Now

924
01:17:28.920 --> 01:17:32.680
let's see. So the coolest thing
about this is this has been out of

925
01:17:32.680 --> 01:17:36.600
print from AGFA for the last couple
of years already, and they had been

926
01:17:38.079 --> 01:17:41.359
obviously. I interviewed the guys on
here after they lived by Film, had

927
01:17:41.399 --> 01:17:45.039
a great interview with them on their
podcast and on bat Pussy. They had

928
01:17:45.039 --> 01:17:48.039
mentioned that they they love this film, it's this curio piece. And then

929
01:17:48.359 --> 01:17:54.720
kind of recently people are talking about
that we got randomly in twenty twenty two

930
01:17:55.520 --> 01:18:00.359
unearthed footage that is a part of
this film, and they resc and the

931
01:18:00.520 --> 01:18:05.680
entire film and this is going to
include the new uh, the original long

932
01:18:05.760 --> 01:18:10.680
lost ending and uh there's some new
extras that they put on here, so

933
01:18:10.720 --> 01:18:14.760
they're really making it worth it for
you, but also a brand new slipcover

934
01:18:14.920 --> 01:18:17.000
through OCN and just to get the
title back in print. This is a

935
01:18:17.039 --> 01:18:21.760
great thing. Yes, Stan,
this is directed by unknown because nobody wanted

936
01:18:21.800 --> 01:18:28.359
to put their name on it.
And uh uh, this is one that

937
01:18:28.640 --> 01:18:33.199
is wild if you've never seen it, and probably not for everybody, but

938
01:18:33.199 --> 01:18:38.159
if you're into a lot of the
old Kyrio pieces from Something Weird and AGFA.

939
01:18:38.800 --> 01:18:44.199
You might like this one everything you
love about the Adam West Batman series

940
01:18:45.600 --> 01:18:48.399
minus everything that was good about the
Batman the ad A West Batman series.

941
01:18:49.560 --> 01:18:55.880
This is a full This this listing
is a full two minutes longer than the

942
01:18:55.960 --> 01:19:03.119
previously available I cannot I cannot wait
to see the content that they have discovered.

943
01:19:04.399 --> 01:19:09.960
Yes, I saw I saw this
on Yeah, it's just Something Weird

944
01:19:10.079 --> 01:19:14.800
VHS tape a long time ago,
and I still don't think I've recovered.

945
01:19:15.960 --> 01:19:20.520
Why have to do it again?
That is Batpussy. Let's go to the

946
01:19:20.520 --> 01:19:25.960
next one. AGFA has two titles
this month. Interestingly enough, this one

947
01:19:26.000 --> 01:19:31.199
is The Black Crystal from nineteen ninety
one. Kind of an interesting slipcover here

948
01:19:31.199 --> 01:19:36.399
on this one. This says inspired
by the Matamora's Cult murders and shot entirely

949
01:19:36.439 --> 01:19:42.000
on Super eight. The Black Crystal
is an action horror hallucination that was filmed

950
01:19:42.039 --> 01:19:45.359
in the backwoods of Tucson, Arizona. The story follows Will as he and

951
01:19:45.399 --> 01:19:50.119
his yellow trans Am encounter a gang
of Satanic cultists led by the evil Daniel.

952
01:19:50.680 --> 01:19:55.239
Surviving the ordeal, Will meets up
with Daphney, a goth witch with

953
01:19:55.319 --> 01:19:59.680
a power channeler called the Black Crystal
that might hold the key to the underworld,

954
01:20:00.079 --> 01:20:02.920
a wash with kickboxing, Dad's Dollar
Store, bloodshed, and a killer

955
01:20:02.960 --> 01:20:09.960
synthesizer score. This is an imaginative
and ambitious homemade funbomb that has been missing

956
01:20:09.960 --> 01:20:14.960
an action since its original VHS release. AGFA presents The Black Crystal on disc

957
01:20:15.039 --> 01:20:18.800
for the first time ever. This
is from the original three quarter inch tape

958
01:20:18.880 --> 01:20:25.760
master with enough extraists to fill Daniel
Satanic shed. So let's get the commentary

959
01:20:25.800 --> 01:20:29.239
with the director, interviews with the
director and the actor Mark Lang, the

960
01:20:29.279 --> 01:20:33.520
original home video trailer, shorts by
the director, and then the bonus movie

961
01:20:33.560 --> 01:20:41.680
The Black Crystal the original VHS version. Second, watch it again. Oh

962
01:20:41.840 --> 01:20:45.159
man, this is you know,
scenarios like this or when I was about

963
01:20:45.520 --> 01:20:49.520
you know, eleven, twelve thirteen. These are the kinds of scenarios I

964
01:20:49.520 --> 01:20:54.520
would imagine that I wanted my life
to be like like, Oh man,

965
01:20:54.680 --> 01:21:00.800
I could just I could just be
by a gothwitch. Yeah, just drive

966
01:21:00.880 --> 01:21:10.199
off to to the to the Southwest
and adventures. So this this looks cool.

967
01:21:11.079 --> 01:21:15.000
This looks like a decent release.
Next up from Saturn's Core, we

968
01:21:15.079 --> 01:21:20.880
are getting damn Zelvis, daughter of
Helvis. This is the slipcover on this

969
01:21:20.920 --> 01:21:30.920
one. This one is interesting.
Yeah, I don't even know. Like

970
01:21:30.039 --> 01:21:35.800
the synopsis on this is wild.
While delivering an apocalyptic message to his sect,

971
01:21:36.239 --> 01:21:43.600
the unearthly Black Jesus orders his leather
clad biker converts to destroy the pagan

972
01:21:43.680 --> 01:21:48.159
mistress Damnseelvis before she can raise her
father, the fabled rock and roll deity

973
01:21:48.359 --> 01:21:54.560
Helvis, from the dead. When
a sheltered country school girl named Isla m

974
01:21:54.680 --> 01:22:00.000
is nearly butchered by Black Jesus' murderous
disciple, Candy, she is miraculously reborn

975
01:22:00.199 --> 01:22:04.399
as the fringe adored Harley writing Damn
Selvis, who promptly embarks on a pilgrimage

976
01:22:04.399 --> 01:22:10.079
to Memphis, of course, spreading
the Gospel along the way by disseminating helvis

977
01:22:10.119 --> 01:22:15.640
Records to a burgeoning and ardent congregation
of fans. Once Helvis is resurrected from

978
01:22:15.640 --> 01:22:19.000
his pyramid tomb, he must confront
the monstrous wolf Man in a final battle

979
01:22:19.000 --> 01:22:28.760
to the death to determine the religious
rights for the new millennial. So this

980
01:22:28.840 --> 01:22:33.960
is like the example screenplay in books
about how to write screenplays. I see

981
01:22:34.479 --> 01:22:45.079
that's begot Wow. Well, there's
a lot in there, and uh okay,

982
01:22:46.239 --> 01:22:50.279
I read the synopsis and uh then
I looked at these screenshots from this

983
01:22:50.359 --> 01:22:56.239
film and it looks exactly how it
sounds, surprisingly enough, but the release

984
01:22:56.279 --> 01:23:00.359
here we got an audio commentary with
the writer and director, moderated by Mike

985
01:23:00.479 --> 01:23:03.279
Hunchback of Seminal Psychosis. We got
an interview with the writer and director.

986
01:23:03.520 --> 01:23:09.079
There is Making Something out of Nothing, the Making of Damn Zelvis, which

987
01:23:09.159 --> 01:23:15.079
is over two and a half hours
of rare behind the scenes footage. The

988
01:23:15.279 --> 01:23:20.399
director, John Michael McCarthy reads the
Damn Zelvis and super Sex comic books,

989
01:23:21.279 --> 01:23:28.920
and Helvis on tour concert footage featuring
characters from dam Zelvis performing live on stage

990
01:23:28.960 --> 01:23:32.600
at the Antenna Club in Memphis.
This is a full package. Yeah,

991
01:23:35.600 --> 01:23:42.800
I'm gonna see this. Saturn's Core
does what they do best. It sounds

992
01:23:42.880 --> 01:23:47.039
like this sounds like a really loaded
release and people that are into their type

993
01:23:47.039 --> 01:23:54.199
of films, this is probably gonna
be one that you're into. Next up,

994
01:23:54.399 --> 01:24:00.359
continuing down the path of so ov
horror like they always do, Culture

995
01:24:00.359 --> 01:24:05.279
Shock Releasing is putting out Death Magic
this month, and this is the wonderful

996
01:24:05.319 --> 01:24:11.479
slip that they are showing on this
one. I don't know much about anything

997
01:24:12.000 --> 01:24:16.680
regarding this title. Do you know
this one at all? The partner labels

998
01:24:16.800 --> 01:24:23.560
are my s OV. Well,
I guess you wouldn't call it film school,

999
01:24:23.560 --> 01:24:31.560
would you? SOOV School? There
you go. Prior to these beautiful

1000
01:24:31.560 --> 01:24:40.920
restorations, I'd only seen a few
SOOV movies, and so based on the

1001
01:24:41.039 --> 01:24:45.800
cover alone, I feel like I
want to at least get this a shot.

1002
01:24:49.199 --> 01:24:53.359
Yeah. The best thing about this, let's see, I believe it

1003
01:24:53.560 --> 01:24:58.159
was. Is this in here?
Or did I read it elsewhere when I

1004
01:24:58.199 --> 01:25:00.520
was looking this one up? Let
me just read this real quick. Pal

1005
01:25:00.640 --> 01:25:04.920
Davidson and his magician friends are tired
of working under Donald Graham. Off to

1006
01:25:05.000 --> 01:25:10.239
a great start, they want to
get into some serious magic, some necromancy.

1007
01:25:10.680 --> 01:25:14.840
Powell has computed the perfect time to
someone a spirit in an abandoned pueblo

1008
01:25:14.920 --> 01:25:19.359
outside of town. They perform their
spell and unwittingly unleash Aaron Parker, a

1009
01:25:19.479 --> 01:25:26.920
murderous Civil War major, to fulfill
his dying curse to kill the descendants of

1010
01:25:27.000 --> 01:25:33.199
every person who condemned him to death
by hanging in eighteen seventy five. I

1011
01:25:33.279 --> 01:25:38.600
mean that sounds ripped like straight out
of a cartoon or something, and I

1012
01:25:39.640 --> 01:25:45.960
am intrigued at the very least very
much. Next one is Utopia putting out

1013
01:25:46.039 --> 01:25:53.000
freak Scene from twenty twenty. This
is all about Dinosaur Junior, which is

1014
01:25:53.399 --> 01:25:58.479
of course one of the most influential
bands and history neat looking slip. Utopia

1015
01:25:58.520 --> 01:26:01.720
does great releases like these. This
has a director commentary, some interviews at

1016
01:26:01.760 --> 01:26:09.039
New York premiere Q and A with
the director and Jay Mashish and green band

1017
01:26:09.079 --> 01:26:14.000
trailer, Red band trailer, and
that's it cool. I'm a I'm a

1018
01:26:14.039 --> 01:26:17.760
really big Dinisaur Junior fan. I
actually saw them back in May of this

1019
01:26:17.880 --> 01:26:25.720
year. I've seen him I think
three times Wow. And I've seen Jay

1020
01:26:25.800 --> 01:26:32.119
Mascus solo ones love it. So
I'm really excited to see this. Love

1021
01:26:32.199 --> 01:26:38.239
the one of the tours I saw
him on before they played, Henry Rollins

1022
01:26:38.319 --> 01:26:42.359
came out and interviewed him on stage
before before they did the show. That

1023
01:26:42.479 --> 01:26:45.600
was the opening act. Was the
interview with Henry Rollins. Interesting. So,

1024
01:26:46.680 --> 01:26:49.199
yeah, this is gonna be really
cool, very exciting. I love

1025
01:26:49.319 --> 01:26:58.239
the musical documentaries that they've been putting
out, just fantastic. Yeah. Etr

1026
01:26:58.319 --> 01:27:02.039
Media and Utopia both kind of been
killed the doc scene. Yeah, and

1027
01:27:02.039 --> 01:27:04.199
I knew I was going to say, j Mascus is name wrong. I

1028
01:27:04.239 --> 01:27:09.319
totally forgot how to say it,
but it is Mascus. Thank you well.

1029
01:27:09.359 --> 01:27:12.479
The next one, I've bet a
lot of times when he says it,

1030
01:27:12.399 --> 01:27:15.439
it sounds like masters, and I
think that's probably why I thought that

1031
01:27:16.720 --> 01:27:21.720
Altered Innocence is putting out Dressed in
Blue from nineteen eighty three. I have

1032
01:27:23.319 --> 01:27:26.439
like this is about to say,
never heard of this, but this was

1033
01:27:26.479 --> 01:27:29.119
one of the ones that I knew
I absolutely had to get this month,

1034
01:27:29.760 --> 01:27:31.960
This says, one of the best
trans films you've likely never heard of.

1035
01:27:32.239 --> 01:27:40.159
Antonio menez Rico's landmark nineteen eighty three
documentary Dressed in Blue explores the lives and

1036
01:27:40.319 --> 01:27:44.720
loves of a group of six trans
women living in Madrid in the years following

1037
01:27:44.720 --> 01:27:48.279
Spain's transition to democracy. But more
than that, it's a loving portrait of

1038
01:27:48.319 --> 01:27:53.039
a culture finally emerging from the shadows
after being hidden for far too long.

1039
01:27:53.439 --> 01:27:57.399
Antonio's portrait of these women gave them
the freedom to portray their own stories with

1040
01:27:57.439 --> 01:28:01.199
their own friends and family, but
in a stylized, scripted narrative framework with

1041
01:28:01.279 --> 01:28:06.680
gorgeous cinematography by Tao Eskimilla. The
stories of Eva, Nasha, Lorentz,

1042
01:28:06.840 --> 01:28:12.880
Josette, Renee, and Tamara were
never properly released outside of Spain and never

1043
01:28:12.920 --> 01:28:17.199
available on home video, but finally, Altered Innocence and Anus Films is proud

1044
01:28:17.239 --> 01:28:21.279
to present this vital testament to just
how far we've come and how far there's

1045
01:28:21.319 --> 01:28:27.520
still left to go. Altered Innocence
really quietly behind the scenes, kind of

1046
01:28:27.800 --> 01:28:31.920
killing their releases. Is it because
I said Anus Films? I was just

1047
01:28:32.840 --> 01:28:34.520
when I saw that, I was
like, is that a typo? Or

1048
01:28:34.520 --> 01:28:39.319
is that really the name of the
they're making fun of the production company Jannis

1049
01:28:39.319 --> 01:28:45.319
Films for Criterion. They actually have
a production company that's hilarious. Yes,

1050
01:28:45.359 --> 01:28:50.840
that's why I was laughing this.
This looks fantastic. I'm super excited about

1051
01:28:50.840 --> 01:28:55.840
it. Yeah, I'd seen it
on a list somewhere right where where you

1052
01:28:55.880 --> 01:29:01.199
look up like best or most important
LGBTQ themed films, And yeah, I've

1053
01:29:01.199 --> 01:29:05.640
seen this on the list before but
know nothing about it. That description sounds

1054
01:29:06.880 --> 01:29:12.279
super compelling, though, yep.
Lots of special features on here, including

1055
01:29:13.479 --> 01:29:17.199
Dressed in Blue at forty, a
conversation about trans Cinema with film historian Elizabeth

1056
01:29:17.239 --> 01:29:24.960
Purchell, trans film critics, filmmaker
and researcher Francis Arpea, and porn performer

1057
01:29:25.079 --> 01:29:29.039
Karda Moneir, which is almost seventy
minutes long. And then there's a sixteen

1058
01:29:29.039 --> 01:29:33.319
page booklet with new essays and a
new trailer and some other trailers but altered

1059
01:29:33.319 --> 01:29:41.880
innocence all the time, just releasing
super important films. Yeah. Next up

1060
01:29:42.079 --> 01:29:46.359
we are getting Lieutenant Jingles from Enjoy
the Ride Records. This is the second

1061
01:29:46.439 --> 01:29:49.359
Blu Ray release of this film in
the US. This also came out from

1062
01:29:49.439 --> 01:29:57.960
Screen Team Releasing. This is a
like os floitation themed film from twenty eighteen,

1063
01:29:58.359 --> 01:30:00.920
and it's made to look like it's
set in the nine eighties. Comedy

1064
01:30:00.920 --> 01:30:05.880
on. This is pretty good.
It's it's a decent movie. It's an

1065
01:30:05.920 --> 01:30:11.079
odd choice for them to put this
out. But uh, so you've seen

1066
01:30:11.079 --> 01:30:16.319
this. I have. It's it's
not terrible. Okay, they should get

1067
01:30:16.359 --> 01:30:20.760
it as a quote on the Uh
it was. It was not what I

1068
01:30:20.760 --> 01:30:24.079
expected, and I think that might
have colored my opinion a bit. I

1069
01:30:24.319 --> 01:30:27.319
probably should watch it again. It
Even then, when I watched it,

1070
01:30:27.359 --> 01:30:30.319
I didn't hate it. It was
far from Bad but yeah, Scream Team

1071
01:30:30.359 --> 01:30:39.600
releasing put it out. In fact, I think here's that release and it's

1072
01:30:40.279 --> 01:30:42.880
I'll look at that. There's some
autographs on there. Uh yeah, this

1073
01:30:42.960 --> 01:30:46.720
one, it does not have all
of the same stuff on here. So

1074
01:30:46.760 --> 01:30:51.840
this one has the making of doc
deleted extended scenes, bloopers, trailers.

1075
01:30:53.800 --> 01:30:59.680
Uh. It looks like they've got
a couple extra little things on this release,

1076
01:31:00.039 --> 01:31:01.920
and this will get a lot more
rise in the film, which is

1077
01:31:01.920 --> 01:31:08.680
always a good thing. I don't
think I showed the back of the Slip

1078
01:31:08.720 --> 01:31:15.039
today. There's the back of that
one. And continuing on Pirates from Gunpowder

1079
01:31:15.119 --> 01:31:19.000
and Sky. This is from the
year twenty twenty one, going back to

1080
01:31:19.479 --> 01:31:21.920
y two. K I have not
seen this film. Have you seen this

1081
01:31:21.960 --> 01:31:25.680
one? I've not even heard of
it. No. I read a little

1082
01:31:25.720 --> 01:31:30.279
bit about it, but not much. Just like, this is a film

1083
01:31:30.279 --> 01:31:33.640
that exists and here's a synopsis,
so this will be a chance to check

1084
01:31:33.680 --> 01:31:39.399
it out. No, I don't
know. The storyline is kind of like

1085
01:31:39.479 --> 01:31:45.800
eh, but you know, those
kinds of things can be compelling, trying

1086
01:31:45.800 --> 01:31:49.760
to get to the party stories.
We've seen some of those in the past.

1087
01:31:50.239 --> 01:31:57.760
So yeah, cool, yeah,
this one not it doesn't immediately come

1088
01:31:57.760 --> 01:32:01.199
out as compelling to me, but
certainly one that sounds like something that I

1089
01:32:01.319 --> 01:32:05.680
might enjoy. I'll take a look
at this eventually. One of the big

1090
01:32:05.720 --> 01:32:11.399
ones from this month, Canadian International
Pictures is putting out The Rainbow Boys from

1091
01:32:11.479 --> 01:32:15.520
nineteen seventy three. This is a
fiftieth anniversary special edition, and the big

1092
01:32:15.560 --> 01:32:19.159
thing with this one is it is
strictly limited. This is not going to

1093
01:32:19.159 --> 01:32:24.680
be available anywhere else, not from
Grindhouse Video, not from Diabolic or Orbit,

1094
01:32:25.119 --> 01:32:28.079
and there will be no standard editions. So once this sells out,

1095
01:32:28.119 --> 01:32:31.479
it is gone gone. And in
a huge picture on the front. Here

1096
01:32:31.520 --> 01:32:35.520
you got Donald pleasance, which a
lot of people want his stuff, so

1097
01:32:35.600 --> 01:32:39.039
if you are into it, you
may want to pick it up sooner than

1098
01:32:39.119 --> 01:32:44.439
later. This is the one and
only live action feature from famed animation director

1099
01:32:44.920 --> 01:32:48.479
Gerald Potterton, who did Heavy Metal. Rainbow Boys is a lively showcase for

1100
01:32:48.520 --> 01:32:54.439
the talents of its three stars and
a visually stunning widescreen journey through Canada's great

1101
01:32:54.560 --> 01:32:59.520
outdoors. You know, I wish
they had been able to make a movie

1102
01:32:59.680 --> 01:33:05.720
kind of Coo framed Roger Rabbit,
but it's heavy metal with Donald Pleasants live

1103
01:33:05.800 --> 01:33:10.520
action. Donald Pleasant said heavy metal, that'd be cool, Yes, it

1104
01:33:10.560 --> 01:33:16.039
would, Donald, Yeah, but
that's not this, not at all.

1105
01:33:16.159 --> 01:33:20.079
This one has an audio commentary with
the director, the producer, and composer.

1106
01:33:20.560 --> 01:33:25.560
There is a new career spanning interview
with the director that's almost an hour

1107
01:33:25.640 --> 01:33:30.399
long. The Legend of Don Kalfa, with author filmmaker Gary Smart reflecting on

1108
01:33:30.399 --> 01:33:34.720
the life and work of his friend
Don Kalfa from VHS to Blu Ray,

1109
01:33:34.880 --> 01:33:40.920
a four minute little featurette of The
Rainbow Boys, a three minute featurette on

1110
01:33:40.920 --> 01:33:43.720
the Restoration, which I think is
really cool. I'm glad when they get

1111
01:33:43.720 --> 01:33:47.920
those in there. And then Pinter
People animation from nineteen sixty nine, four

1112
01:33:48.039 --> 01:33:54.199
animated segments written by Harold Pinter and
directed by Gerald Potterton really need to get

1113
01:33:54.199 --> 01:33:59.560
on here? And then a booklet
featuring reflections from editor Catherine Reynolds in an

1114
01:33:59.640 --> 01:34:08.159
essay by Donald Pleasants biographer Sam Bes
on the actors Canadian Films Canadian International.

1115
01:34:08.159 --> 01:34:13.039
Have you watched many of their releases
this year? I haven't watched a whole

1116
01:34:13.039 --> 01:34:15.640
bunch of them. I have picked
up a lot because they're putting out so

1117
01:34:15.319 --> 01:34:24.479
many important films. That that hadn't
been available previously, So there's a lot.

1118
01:34:24.960 --> 01:34:27.079
There's a lot that I'm gonna be
picking up. I'm probably gonna pick

1119
01:34:27.159 --> 01:34:32.199
this up too, if I'm being
honest, because just it's a it's a

1120
01:34:32.239 --> 01:34:45.600
historical oddity, you know, And
I'm really interested in just experience in that

1121
01:34:46.239 --> 01:34:49.439
a lot of their stuff kind of
has that feeling. And so far it

1122
01:34:49.600 --> 01:34:54.760
has all been very high quality.
And the big thing is their releases are

1123
01:34:54.840 --> 01:34:58.640
always above and beyond what you need
for extras. They are just diving into

1124
01:34:58.640 --> 01:35:01.560
as much as they can. I
respect everything they're putting out so much.

1125
01:35:01.600 --> 01:35:05.359
Right now, this one was limited
to two thousand copies and it's only down

1126
01:35:05.439 --> 01:35:10.000
to like seventeen hundred, so still
plenty available. But don't sleep on it.

1127
01:35:10.079 --> 01:35:12.239
You know how people are with fomo. If this starts to get low,

1128
01:35:12.279 --> 01:35:15.239
it's going to go fast because there's
no standard edition, so keep an

1129
01:35:15.279 --> 01:35:21.439
eye on it. Next up is
the next one from VHS hit Fest with

1130
01:35:21.920 --> 01:35:27.399
Dan Kinham was on here previously gave
a little hint about this one. Satan's

1131
01:35:27.399 --> 01:35:30.840
Menagerie from two thousand and one.
Five Creatures of Darkness come together for a

1132
01:35:30.880 --> 01:35:34.960
one of a kind gathering. Their
fates intertwined and the resurrection of a demon

1133
01:35:35.079 --> 01:35:41.239
god. What kind of carnage will
ensure sorry, we'll ensue when these children

1134
01:35:41.279 --> 01:35:47.279
of the Night unite. Fantastic audio
commentary, making of documentary, bonus features,

1135
01:35:47.359 --> 01:35:51.399
music video, and a still gallery
will make this a strong release.

1136
01:35:51.520 --> 01:36:00.760
And so far their stuff has been
wild. Yeah, definitely see this.

1137
01:36:00.920 --> 01:36:12.560
I'm very appreciative of what the hitch
Fest is doing. Dan is really attached

1138
01:36:12.560 --> 01:36:15.199
to some of these movies. And
I can't wait, he said, I

1139
01:36:15.199 --> 01:36:18.359
think it was their fifth release.
Is going to have just like Kung Fu

1140
01:36:18.720 --> 01:36:24.039
I think he said, Kung Fu
and a vampire or something crazy. Yeah,

1141
01:36:24.520 --> 01:36:31.000
they're putting out some just crazy stuff. Oh wow. Yeah, and

1142
01:36:31.079 --> 01:36:39.399
you know what a suc sainct and
compelling a synopsis. Yeah, and talk

1143
01:36:39.439 --> 01:36:44.079
about a great elevator pitch right,
We're gonna get these. You know,

1144
01:36:44.239 --> 01:36:46.560
it's it's it's gonna be a very
talky movie. You know, it's about

1145
01:36:46.560 --> 01:36:59.680
these characters interacting and really uh discovering
who they are. Absolutely yeah. Next

1146
01:36:59.720 --> 01:37:02.359
up, one that we've heard a
lot about, Solomon King is a finally

1147
01:37:02.399 --> 01:37:06.279
available to order from Deaf Crocodile.
This is in the vein of Shaft and

1148
01:37:06.880 --> 01:37:12.960
Solomon King stars Sal Watts as an
XCIA operative and ex Greeny, ex Green

1149
01:37:12.960 --> 01:37:17.279
Beret nightclub owner seeking violent revenge for
the murder of his girlfriend by hitman working

1150
01:37:17.279 --> 01:37:23.600
for an oil obsessed Middle Eastern ruler. And the slip on this looks incredible.

1151
01:37:24.039 --> 01:37:29.520
The restoration on this that they've shown
looks just remarkable. It was all

1152
01:37:29.600 --> 01:37:34.920
yellowed out and the trailers they've shown
it looks like fresh, super lush.

1153
01:37:35.279 --> 01:37:41.359
The colors look amazing that the music
sounds fantastic. I backed the Kickstarter for

1154
01:37:41.399 --> 01:37:44.880
this. Cannot wait to get that
copy of this. We got a whole

1155
01:37:44.920 --> 01:37:47.920
bunch of extras on here, new
restoration by Deaf Crocodile from the thirty five

1156
01:37:47.960 --> 01:37:54.399
millimeter print, new commentary track by
Walter Shaw, and then a new commentary

1157
01:37:54.439 --> 01:37:59.479
track by author, journalist and documentary
film producer Steve Rifle. Then there's also

1158
01:37:59.680 --> 01:38:03.079
a re part video interview with Belinda
Burton Watts, who is the widow of

1159
01:38:03.199 --> 01:38:09.880
Seal Watts new booklet Essay. There
is some other extras on here and just

1160
01:38:10.640 --> 01:38:15.000
some incredible stuff like the rest of
Sorry, the reproduction of the original Solomon

1161
01:38:15.079 --> 01:38:17.760
King press book. I love when
companies do stuff like that. See the

1162
01:38:17.800 --> 01:38:24.239
old nineteen seventies pitches that they would
put in newspapers and magazines. There's some

1163
01:38:24.359 --> 01:38:30.199
great stuff on this. Yeah,
like you have been, I've been really

1164
01:38:30.239 --> 01:38:35.039
excited to see this. This is
kind of a lost or previously lost a

1165
01:38:35.199 --> 01:38:40.159
title. That's that's when I when
I when I first saw the picture that

1166
01:38:40.239 --> 01:38:45.199
I was like this. The cover
design looks very similar to the inspector Ike.

1167
01:38:45.399 --> 01:38:49.560
It's the same artist, I believe, which threw me for a second.

1168
01:38:49.600 --> 01:38:55.920
But but this is cool and it's
definitely it's got its own charm the

1169
01:38:56.319 --> 01:39:01.159
cover design, so ye, several
of them. In fact, there is

1170
01:39:01.199 --> 01:39:05.880
a great time to throw out another
recommendation because inspector Ike was frickin' amazing.

1171
01:39:06.000 --> 01:39:10.119
So if you have not checked out
Factory twenty five's and spector Ike release,

1172
01:39:10.560 --> 01:39:15.000
it is great and even includes a
recipe for you to cook that's inside the

1173
01:39:15.000 --> 01:39:21.880
book. Next up, Silvio from
twenty seventeen is coming from Music Box Films.

1174
01:39:23.439 --> 01:39:28.800
These are the guys that put out
Gosh, what was a Strawberry Mansion

1175
01:39:28.880 --> 01:39:32.279
earlier this year, and this is
the same director. This is based on

1176
01:39:32.359 --> 01:39:35.359
a series. I never thought I
was going to say this sentence in My

1177
01:39:35.479 --> 01:39:42.760
Life, Based on a series of
avant garde vines by creator Albert Bernie.

1178
01:39:42.960 --> 01:39:47.319
Silvio is the story of Baltimore based
gorilla Silvio Bernardi's rise and fall from local

1179
01:39:47.359 --> 01:39:53.079
TV fame. Silvio's droll nine to
five is interrupted when he is sent to

1180
01:39:53.159 --> 01:39:57.960
collect the debt of a small talk
show producer and is mistaken for a juggling

1181
01:39:58.079 --> 01:40:01.319
guest. The fallout of silvia Yo's
clumsy juggling is not just broken vases.

1182
01:40:01.640 --> 01:40:05.800
The viewers fall in love with Silvio's
chaotic and destructive eight persona. As a

1183
01:40:05.840 --> 01:40:12.279
result, Silvio's personal preferences for tender
puppetry and delicate stop motion are put at

1184
01:40:12.279 --> 01:40:15.600
direct odds, but the character he
finds himself playing for his human viewers.

1185
01:40:16.159 --> 01:40:21.399
As Silvio's identity crisis mounts, fantasy
and reality poetically blur to reveal that he

1186
01:40:21.439 --> 01:40:27.399
has been finding the beast image for
years. Sylvia is a downright lovely and

1187
01:40:27.439 --> 01:40:32.880
absurdist cult classic that speaks to anyone
who fails to live out their stereotype.

1188
01:40:35.199 --> 01:40:41.840
Interesting pitch on this one, Well, I don't blame the filmmakers, but

1189
01:40:41.880 --> 01:40:45.720
I always get suspicious when I see
copy that refers to a film as a

1190
01:40:45.720 --> 01:40:53.159
cult classic when it's only five years
old. Wow, but okay, all

1191
01:40:53.239 --> 01:40:57.960
right, not only that, I
did not love Strawberry Mansion. I thought

1192
01:40:57.960 --> 01:41:01.920
it was good, not great,
but I definitely could see the potential from

1193
01:41:01.920 --> 01:41:06.720
the filmmaker there. Yeah, you
know, and this does sound you know,

1194
01:41:08.119 --> 01:41:11.920
most of the time these days,
when the young people say cult classic,

1195
01:41:12.000 --> 01:41:15.720
the cult means just it's it's a
weird movie, right, Yeah,

1196
01:41:15.800 --> 01:41:21.239
So clearly this is a weird movie. I think we can agree on that

1197
01:41:21.319 --> 01:41:28.520
site unseen. Yeah, just by
looking at the slip. Absolutely so probably

1198
01:41:28.560 --> 01:41:34.199
worth a checkout for me now and
next. I believe this is the last

1199
01:41:34.319 --> 01:41:41.680
actual film release we are getting Uncle
Kent two from Factory twenty five. In

1200
01:41:41.720 --> 01:41:45.039
a desperate search to create a follow
up to Joe Swanberg's twenty eleven film Uncle

1201
01:41:45.119 --> 01:41:49.199
Kent Kent, Osborne travels to a
comic book convention in San Diego, where

1202
01:41:49.199 --> 01:41:54.439
he loses his mind and confronts the
end of the world. Reuniting in the

1203
01:41:54.439 --> 01:41:59.600
Grimsland, two of indie sequels,
Joe Swanberg, Jennifer Predagor, and Tipper

1204
01:41:59.640 --> 01:42:03.800
Newton return in a surrealist look into
Osborne's Madness, written by Osborne and passing

1205
01:42:03.880 --> 01:42:08.720
the director's torch over to Todd Rohaal, Uncle Kent two plays out like an

1206
01:42:08.760 --> 01:42:13.680
absurdist successor that bends the rules of
sequels and the minds of the audience.

1207
01:42:15.840 --> 01:42:21.399
All right, well this sounds like
a cult classic A little bit more,

1208
01:42:21.479 --> 01:42:26.560
yes, especially because one of the
people that at list as starring in the

1209
01:42:26.560 --> 01:42:31.520
film I will highlight here is weird
Al Yankovic. Oh hey, yeah,

1210
01:42:31.600 --> 01:42:35.399
that guy's having a moment. He's
had a moment for the last forty years

1211
01:42:35.399 --> 01:42:39.439
of my life. I'm not even
forty. I think he's gonna make it.

1212
01:42:40.680 --> 01:42:45.680
I have never heard of Uncle Kent. I I'm taken him back by

1213
01:42:45.680 --> 01:42:48.840
this entire thing. First of all, Yeah, this was an aspect of

1214
01:42:48.920 --> 01:42:54.800
Joe Swamburg's life that I was unfamiliar
with. I love the slip though.

1215
01:42:54.880 --> 01:42:58.800
I love that you can see the
front of this and then the actual picture

1216
01:42:59.000 --> 01:43:03.479
from behind. Yeah, really,
really nice setup. Got a whole bunch

1217
01:43:03.560 --> 01:43:09.159
of extras on these short films.
Bonus Films curated by Todd Rohall and Kent

1218
01:43:09.239 --> 01:43:14.760
Osborne. There is a feature length
Spanish language remake of Joe Swanberg's mumblecore classic

1219
01:43:14.800 --> 01:43:19.199
Hannah Takes the Stars. Okay,
there's a commentary, of course, and

1220
01:43:19.239 --> 01:43:25.000
then a music video booklet includes essays
by a few people, and then a

1221
01:43:25.000 --> 01:43:30.399
comic adaptation of Uncle Kent two by
Kent Osborne, the unabridged shooting script by

1222
01:43:30.479 --> 01:43:34.439
Kent Osborne and Todd Rohall, poster
pullouts for Uncle Kent two and the yet

1223
01:43:34.479 --> 01:43:43.279
to be produced sequels. This sounds
wild, yeah, definite, And Factory

1224
01:43:43.319 --> 01:43:47.960
twenty five has kind of been introducing
some of my favorites over the last year.

1225
01:43:48.399 --> 01:43:55.439
Really enjoying a lot of what they've
been putting out. All right.

1226
01:43:55.560 --> 01:43:59.640
Then we got a whole bunch of
new merch uploaded to the site today.

1227
01:43:59.640 --> 01:44:04.520
We got Canadian International Picture shirt,
some Deaf crocodile pins here with their logo,

1228
01:44:04.640 --> 01:44:10.920
and Solomon King. We got some
Factory twenty five VHS socks. We

1229
01:44:11.079 --> 01:44:15.399
got a bunch of in the soup
pins, the Steve Buscemi here really looking

1230
01:44:15.439 --> 01:44:25.600
like Macaulay Culkin. Speaking of Inspector
Ike. They got the original soundtrack on

1231
01:44:25.760 --> 01:44:31.000
cassette. Canny releasing putting out a
pair of socks with their logo there,

1232
01:44:31.359 --> 01:44:34.439
and then we just talked about Lieutenant
Jangles. They're putting out the soundtrack On

1233
01:44:34.479 --> 01:44:38.399
what I remember, the music is
pretty decent. I'm sure that's a nice

1234
01:44:38.560 --> 01:44:43.800
vinyl soundtrack. And that's not even
all lux a Turna. We were just

1235
01:44:43.840 --> 01:44:46.920
talking about Gaspernoe. They're putting out
a big box VHS release of that,

1236
01:44:47.079 --> 01:44:50.520
and I don't know if that's sold
out or not yet. It looks like

1237
01:44:50.600 --> 01:44:55.399
it has not. There are still
nineteen of those left in stock as of

1238
01:44:55.439 --> 01:44:58.640
this moment. Those seem to go
pretty quickly on the site when they do

1239
01:44:58.760 --> 01:45:03.800
go up. Screenprint from Solomon King
looks really nice. VHS hit Fest put

1240
01:45:03.880 --> 01:45:10.479
this up today, The Bloody Horror
that made Me puke on Aunt Gertrude on

1241
01:45:10.640 --> 01:45:15.640
VHS and this sold out almost immediately
and it had fifty copies. Oh my

1242
01:45:15.720 --> 01:45:21.760
god. Uncle Kent two also available
as a paperback book, which is supposedly

1243
01:45:21.840 --> 01:45:26.359
quite a bit different than the film
and something worth reading. From what I

1244
01:45:26.640 --> 01:45:30.079
read about online today. Nobody saw
the first one, so he's bad for

1245
01:45:30.119 --> 01:45:38.319
a second. And then the Utopia
film We're All Going to the World's Fair

1246
01:45:38.640 --> 01:45:45.399
is released on VHS today as well. Rubin in the Soup is good.

1247
01:45:45.640 --> 01:45:50.680
Definitely need to give that one to
watch. It's a great movie. Any

1248
01:45:50.760 --> 01:45:57.520
of the merch that you want to
highlight or talk on at all. Yeah,

1249
01:45:57.560 --> 01:46:01.760
well, I understand people who like
to on VHS. I just don't.

1250
01:46:01.960 --> 01:46:08.680
I don't like it. No about
VHS sucks. I am interested in

1251
01:46:08.720 --> 01:46:14.840
the VHS. There's definite, definitely
some stocking stuffers in there, although mainly

1252
01:46:14.840 --> 01:46:18.720
stocking stuff is for me, So
I don't know, but your wife,

1253
01:46:18.760 --> 01:46:27.279
I bought this for my stocking.
Yeah, the book kind of looks intriguing.

1254
01:46:28.439 --> 01:46:32.039
I'm going to get to kind of
interest in checking that out. And

1255
01:46:32.079 --> 01:46:35.800
I love that T shirt design,
the Canadian picture. Yeah, they got

1256
01:46:35.800 --> 01:46:42.079
a nice logo. But yeah,
this book looks hilarious. All right.

1257
01:46:42.199 --> 01:46:45.680
Moving on from OCN, everybody did
not get enough sales last weekend, so

1258
01:46:45.800 --> 01:46:50.479
Keno Lober announced that they are having
their Winter Wonderland Sale right now. Over

1259
01:46:50.600 --> 01:46:55.920
eight hundred titles on sale. A
lot of their four ks are down to

1260
01:46:56.000 --> 01:47:00.399
like fifteen bucks. A lot of
their standard releases are down under ten dollars.

1261
01:47:00.880 --> 01:47:03.279
If you got paid in the last
six days and you are eager to

1262
01:47:03.279 --> 01:47:08.000
spend some more, this is a
great place to do it. Free shipping

1263
01:47:08.039 --> 01:47:12.880
over fifty bucks. Sale ends on
December nineteenth. Oh man, I just

1264
01:47:12.960 --> 01:47:15.920
pulled it up and well, actually
I'll plug this because I'm definitely gonna get

1265
01:47:15.920 --> 01:47:19.840
it. But the buck set,
the Magic Box the films of Shirley Clark

1266
01:47:20.319 --> 01:47:30.279
has gotten has gotten knocked out at
thirty nine. So that's that's obvious.

1267
01:47:30.680 --> 01:47:40.439
That's obvious, gonna happen. Jeez. And finally we got our last announcement

1268
01:47:40.720 --> 01:47:45.359
of the week. Umbrella just announced
that February eighth, they are releasing what

1269
01:47:45.399 --> 01:47:50.920
they are calling This Is Art,
the Collector's Edition that will include all Hallow's

1270
01:47:51.039 --> 01:47:58.159
Eve, Terrifier and Terrifier two in
one big box. This is going to

1271
01:47:58.239 --> 01:48:02.399
have so much in the Collector's Edition
if you buy this one. This big

1272
01:48:02.439 --> 01:48:06.239
set, by the way, is
one hundred dollars Australian dollars. You can

1273
01:48:06.319 --> 01:48:13.680
only get this on the Umbrella website, but they have Terrifier on VHS,

1274
01:48:14.479 --> 01:48:20.119
art the Clown four inch vinyl Little
Toy art, the Flower sunglasses from Terrifier,

1275
01:48:20.159 --> 01:48:25.880
to a custom art slipcase, a
forty eight page book called This Is

1276
01:48:26.000 --> 01:48:30.720
Art, a compilation of behind the
scenes commentary and art, set of twelve

1277
01:48:30.760 --> 01:48:34.520
lobby cards, an art reversible poster, some stickers, all packaged, and

1278
01:48:34.560 --> 01:48:41.399
a custom art slipcase, and that
is a lot for one release, and

1279
01:48:41.479 --> 01:48:45.520
for Umbrella to be doing this,
it is probably going to sell very well

1280
01:48:45.560 --> 01:48:51.319
for them. They did not announce
if this is limited or how many it

1281
01:48:51.359 --> 01:48:55.960
was going to be limited to.
However, the odds are that it is

1282
01:48:55.960 --> 01:49:00.880
probably going to be fairly limited.
Their release of Wrong Turn sold out fairly

1283
01:49:00.920 --> 01:49:05.159
quickly. They're limited release of Martyrs
recently sold out very quickly. If you

1284
01:49:05.199 --> 01:49:10.800
are into this, you probably don't
want to sleep on it for very long.

1285
01:49:13.279 --> 01:49:15.520
That's a little too much terrifier for
me. I enjoyed it, but

1286
01:49:16.880 --> 01:49:23.600
it's a lot of terrifier. I
gotta admit it would be fun to own

1287
01:49:23.640 --> 01:49:29.399
the glasses. I don't know why
necessarily, but for how much that would

1288
01:49:29.399 --> 01:49:34.000
cost after shipping, that's a lot. Yeah. I did the Martyrs Special

1289
01:49:34.159 --> 01:49:41.159
Edition set and then kind of regretted
it when, like right after that they

1290
01:49:41.199 --> 01:49:45.479
did this the standard of blue ray
relief, and I was like a man

1291
01:49:45.560 --> 01:49:49.720
that was seventy that Marter's book is
incredible though the book, the book made

1292
01:49:49.760 --> 01:49:54.920
it worth it. I don't see
myself hanging up the poster anytime soon,

1293
01:49:55.000 --> 01:50:00.800
but come on, not in the
kids room that martr set. I think

1294
01:50:00.800 --> 01:50:02.520
it was limited to only like two
hundred and fifty copies though, and it

1295
01:50:03.119 --> 01:50:06.920
was. It is very coveted by
a lot of people right now. I

1296
01:50:06.960 --> 01:50:15.439
got I tell you, when you
turn somebody onto Martyrs, that's for life.

1297
01:50:16.199 --> 01:50:21.159
The you know when when when somebody
really gets into Martyrs, it's something

1298
01:50:21.159 --> 01:50:24.479
that you talk about every time you
see each other. And I have a

1299
01:50:24.600 --> 01:50:30.760
part. I have a former student
who got obsessed with Martyrs and we talked

1300
01:50:30.840 --> 01:50:33.479
maybe two or three times a year, and every time we talk about Martyrs

1301
01:50:33.920 --> 01:50:40.279
in the process of our catching up. Yeah. Yeah, Scolder in the

1302
01:50:40.279 --> 01:50:45.000
comments just asked terrifier on VHS why
there are a lot of VHS collectors out

1303
01:50:45.000 --> 01:50:48.920
there still, And I don't necessarily
understand it to ease their own enjoy what

1304
01:50:48.960 --> 01:50:54.640
you're gonna enjoy. But I I
would take a lot of convincing to understand

1305
01:50:54.680 --> 01:50:59.199
why, especially considering you, most
people can't play them. And it's not

1306
01:50:59.239 --> 01:51:06.199
because like they don't want to,
it's because there's no VCRs anywhere. Yeah,

1307
01:51:05.640 --> 01:51:12.920
I have to assume that they're mainly
for display right Like fact I have

1308
01:51:13.000 --> 01:51:19.239
a VCR. It's it's I can
tell that it's lifespan is not going to

1309
01:51:19.279 --> 01:51:23.520
be much longer, and I died
fairly recently too, and there's no way

1310
01:51:23.560 --> 01:51:28.119
to replace it or anything. Yeah, so so what you end up doing

1311
01:51:28.199 --> 01:51:31.680
is you take your VHS to some
company that transfers the contents on DVD for

1312
01:51:31.760 --> 01:51:39.520
you. This is true, real
quickly. We're going to go through what

01:52:57.439 --> 01:53:01.960
from Aero Video, The Leech from
aerov Video. Pretty strong first week here

1330
01:53:02.119 --> 01:53:06.880
in December, and then the Ballad
of the Sad Cafe from Cohen Media,

1331
01:53:06.960 --> 01:53:12.359
like we just talked about, and
that's pretty much it. Anything super exciting

1332
01:53:12.399 --> 01:53:15.840
next week that you either are getting
in or already got in, something that

1333
01:53:15.880 --> 01:53:18.359
you're really looking forward to. Well, a double shot of Bob Clark with

1334
01:53:18.479 --> 01:53:26.199
Black Christmas and Children Shouldn't Pay with
Bad Things Love Bob Clark a really interesting

1335
01:53:26.239 --> 01:53:30.199
filmmaker. I hope one day we'll
get a four K of Death Dream.

1336
01:53:30.840 --> 01:53:35.760
Yeah. I'm pretty excited about The
Night of Iguana, the Tennessee Williams adaptation.

1337
01:53:36.560 --> 01:53:41.680
It's it's a flawed movie. But
when I say that, I don't

1338
01:53:41.720 --> 01:53:48.119
really know what I mean. Yeah, you watch it and you're like,

1339
01:53:48.239 --> 01:53:54.720
ah, I feel like there's something
not quite doing for it, but it's

1340
01:53:54.720 --> 01:53:59.760
still a really compelling movie. I
mean, Richard Burton and it's it's Tennessee,

1341
01:53:59.760 --> 01:54:05.640
will so hysteria, you know,
ensue, So that's kind of fun.

1342
01:54:05.760 --> 01:54:10.159
I'm a little pissed because I just
got Blu rays of the forty eight

1343
01:54:10.199 --> 01:54:15.479
Hours films and then another one of
those turnaround. I'm obviously I'm going to

1344
01:54:15.520 --> 01:54:16.960
get the shot scope and I'm gonna
have to wait till it's marked down a

1345
01:54:17.000 --> 01:54:20.800
little bit. Yeah, it is
a little pricey for the second one off

1346
01:54:21.239 --> 01:54:28.960
right off the street. Yeah,
no interest whatsoever in pulp fiction, So

1347
01:54:29.079 --> 01:54:31.520
this I don't know if this is
going to drop any cred or anything.

1348
01:54:31.840 --> 01:54:36.840
I've seen pulp fiction so many times
that not once did I feel compelled to

1349
01:54:36.840 --> 01:54:41.600
bite on Blu ray yet, because
there was no ever like great release.

1350
01:54:42.079 --> 01:54:44.199
So the four K got announced,
I was like, oh, thank god,

1351
01:54:44.600 --> 01:54:47.279
I can just skip a format,
not feel bad about upgrading, and

1352
01:54:47.319 --> 01:54:56.239
go for my okay DVD to this
decent four K. All Right, the

1353
01:54:56.279 --> 01:55:00.439
next hour or twelve, we're gonna
be talking about some movie stuff. First

1354
01:55:00.479 --> 01:55:04.359
off, we wanted to talk about
a director tonight, and we've been talking

1355
01:55:04.560 --> 01:55:10.399
a lot about Dario Argento lately with
you know, he got a new film

1356
01:55:10.439 --> 01:55:14.439
coming out this year, He's starred
in a film this year. He has

1357
01:55:14.600 --> 01:55:17.800
been reevaluated over the last few years, with all of his four k's coming

1358
01:55:17.880 --> 01:55:26.479
from Synapse and Arrow and now Severn, and there's just so much Argento going

1359
01:55:26.520 --> 01:55:30.760
on. So what we were going
to do is talk about five favorites from

1360
01:55:30.800 --> 01:55:33.720
Argento, and then Will was going
to talk about good things about five of

1361
01:55:33.800 --> 01:55:41.760
his least favorites from Ourgento. So
why don't we go your fifth least favorite

1362
01:55:42.039 --> 01:55:45.000
first and talk about some good stuff
on it, and then we'll go to

1363
01:55:45.000 --> 01:55:49.560
my fifth favorite. We'll talk about
that one, Okay. So I don't

1364
01:55:49.560 --> 01:55:56.520
think any of the ones in my
lower rankings will surprise anybody. There might

1365
01:55:56.560 --> 01:56:04.399
be some who would quibble with with
maybe the lower tiers of the bottom five,

1366
01:56:04.479 --> 01:56:10.560
but I do I want to emphasize
that even the movies that that I

1367
01:56:10.600 --> 01:56:17.840
think are his least good do have
something interesting about them. Now I'm leaving

1368
01:56:17.840 --> 01:56:23.359
out four Flies on Grave Velvet,
and I mean, obviously I wouldn't make

1369
01:56:23.399 --> 01:56:28.039
that at the bottom anyway. But
and and five Days in Line, because

1370
01:56:28.880 --> 01:56:30.560
those are going to be coming out. I'm really excited. I do have

1371
01:56:30.600 --> 01:56:41.119
a blu ray of What's the Company
Shameless and it's okay, but it's it's

1372
01:56:41.359 --> 01:56:44.439
it's not what we're about to get
from seven. So I can't wait to

1373
01:56:44.439 --> 01:56:48.479
see that film again in five days
and longer. First, so, all

1374
01:56:48.560 --> 01:56:56.720
right, my fifth least favorite would
be, oh, I would you want

1375
01:56:56.720 --> 01:57:00.000
to listen to Quentin Tarantino talk?
Well, maybe I would commentary by somebody

1376
01:57:00.159 --> 01:57:03.119
else might be, Oh, they
should get me to do the commentary on

1377
01:57:03.159 --> 01:57:14.520
the Tarantino movies. Play some ship
anyway. So my number five least favorite

1378
01:57:15.439 --> 01:57:19.199
is one that actually I'm kind of
surprised it's in my least favor but I

1379
01:57:19.239 --> 01:57:21.439
looked at, you know, his
full filmography, and I was like,

1380
01:57:21.520 --> 01:57:25.159
yeah, this is perfectly where I'll
put it. I mean, that's The

1381
01:57:25.199 --> 01:57:35.119
Phantom of the Opera, which just
doesn't quite hold together. And and not

1382
01:57:35.239 --> 01:57:44.600
that you're really expecting Argenta films to
hold together narratively, but it doesn't.

1383
01:57:44.720 --> 01:57:53.640
It doesn't really hold together thematically or
stylistically either in most ways. But I

1384
01:57:53.640 --> 01:57:59.960
do think that stylistically it has a
lot of beautiful sequences. It has Julian's

1385
01:58:00.079 --> 01:58:10.079
and being really strange and talking to
rats Oscio Argento I think is is quite

1386
01:58:10.119 --> 01:58:14.760
lovely in her in her role,
lovely both in terms of you know,

1387
01:58:14.840 --> 01:58:20.319
being lovely, but her her character
is just kind of interesting. So the

1388
01:58:20.479 --> 01:58:25.279
look of it is a real departure
for Argento, and I think that that

1389
01:58:25.439 --> 01:58:31.399
is interesting. Do you agree that
this was the first film that showed the

1390
01:58:31.439 --> 01:58:36.159
major decline for Argento because a lot
of people classify Stendall Center Missus Last like

1391
01:58:36.239 --> 01:58:43.920
pretty great film. You know,
I don't how longly to think in terms

1392
01:58:43.960 --> 01:58:50.000
of the decline. Let's you say
eras then like this was the second Argento

1393
01:58:50.079 --> 01:58:56.840
era, it is, well,
I'd say the eighties were definitely another era

1394
01:58:56.920 --> 01:59:02.279
too, so this would call this
the third era. I mean, not

1395
01:59:02.800 --> 01:59:10.479
downd he just but it is.
It is true that that directing, directing,

1396
01:59:10.520 --> 01:59:15.880
especially directing the strenuous kind of productions
that these are, gets harder the

1397
01:59:16.279 --> 01:59:20.319
older you get, you know,
the energy level just from for most people.

1398
01:59:21.720 --> 01:59:26.319
He but he stayed productive even as
his budget shrink. I mean,

1399
01:59:26.359 --> 01:59:31.920
he wasn't getting the same kind of
resources that he got earlier. I I

1400
01:59:31.960 --> 01:59:42.840
definitely think Phantom of the Opera is
is. Yeah, I'd say it would

1401
01:59:42.920 --> 01:59:50.199
kind of mark the shift because because
his color palette got a lot more muted

1402
01:59:51.439 --> 01:59:56.840
start, and it started with with
Phantom because sim dalls very bright and his

1403
01:59:56.960 --> 02:00:00.560
first kind of work with C G
I and stuff. So yeah, that's

1404
02:00:00.600 --> 02:00:05.840
a that's a really good question,
good insight. It's very gaulsy, you

1405
02:00:05.840 --> 02:00:11.359
know, a lot of flowing fabric
and stuff. So that's what else.

1406
02:00:11.520 --> 02:00:15.760
That's that's what I think there is
to like about failure. Yeah, it

1407
02:00:15.800 --> 02:00:18.079
got more muted, but the cinematography
is still there. He's obviously still got

1408
02:00:18.119 --> 02:00:23.840
a great talent at what he's doing, but certainly not up to snuff with

1409
02:00:23.880 --> 02:00:27.399
the earlier stuff. And speaking of
the earlier stuff, we're going to go

1410
02:00:27.439 --> 02:00:30.439
to the start of his first era
because it's the start of his career.

1411
02:00:30.239 --> 02:00:38.000
My fifth I have The Bird with
the Crystal Plumage. This was I believe

1412
02:00:38.119 --> 02:00:45.960
his first directing. It all from
nineteen seventy and it was it's one of

1413
02:00:45.960 --> 02:00:48.800
those films that it first off,
it's a you know, the first of

1414
02:00:48.840 --> 02:00:55.039
the not related at all, but
loosely related Animal trilogy, and it's one

1415
02:00:55.119 --> 02:00:59.000
that people really attached to you at
that time because it was innovative, it

1416
02:00:59.039 --> 02:01:02.720
was something new, it was something
stylistic that they could really see this touch

1417
02:01:02.920 --> 02:01:09.239
and it had this like tangible style
to it with a real personality, and

1418
02:01:10.000 --> 02:01:13.079
I love it. I think that
there's a lot of great aspects of it.

1419
02:01:13.199 --> 02:01:15.680
You can tell what he is going
to evolve into here because a lot

1420
02:01:15.720 --> 02:01:21.159
of it it exists, and maybe
smaller aspects. And it's still it's still

1421
02:01:21.279 --> 02:01:26.920
not necessarily a master work, but
it's still a really great piece of cinematography

1422
02:01:26.960 --> 02:01:31.399
and just overall great, great pacing
and just a good story. But it

1423
02:01:31.520 --> 02:01:34.399
was it laid the steps for a
lot of the tropes that we all know

1424
02:01:34.520 --> 02:01:39.119
now, So I think it definitely
deserves at least that type of a mention.

1425
02:01:40.640 --> 02:01:45.119
Yeah, in retrospect, it really
does seem like a film made by

1426
02:01:47.119 --> 02:01:51.119
well, I mean all films are
made by film enthusiasts, but real sinophile.

1427
02:01:51.479 --> 02:01:55.199
I mean, he had been a
film critic before this. He co

1428
02:01:55.239 --> 02:01:59.640
wrote the script Once upon a Time
of the Less with Bernardo Bertolucci and Sergeio

1429
02:01:59.720 --> 02:02:02.800
Leon in sixty eight, and so
what a debut, you know, to

1430
02:02:02.880 --> 02:02:12.800
kind of come from that world of
film criticism to to film to writing and

1431
02:02:12.840 --> 02:02:15.560
then and then too, wow,
where did he get his visual sense from?

1432
02:02:15.600 --> 02:02:23.079
You know, I always think it's
a lazy thing to call him the

1433
02:02:23.119 --> 02:02:31.640
Italian Hitchcock because his style is so
different. Yeah, it's intricate, which

1434
02:02:31.720 --> 02:02:40.359
Hitchcock's is also, but very differently. You know, what is your number

1435
02:02:40.359 --> 02:02:46.600
four least favorite. I'm going to
go with Jallo, his two thousand and

1436
02:02:46.680 --> 02:02:58.880
nine film with Adrian Brody. I
actually think it's pretty good. I I

1437
02:02:58.920 --> 02:03:01.960
do. I think I like I
like Fan of the Opera more, watching

1438
02:03:02.119 --> 02:03:06.760
Watching again. John also still only
has a DVD release, so somebody needs

1439
02:03:06.800 --> 02:03:12.319
to take care of that. It's
one of the few remaining that that haven't

1440
02:03:12.359 --> 02:03:21.520
been updated. It's again, the
color palette is not as uh doesn't pop

1441
02:03:23.560 --> 02:03:27.359
the way we expect, you know, for those of us who have gone

1442
02:03:27.359 --> 02:03:38.159
through sixteen different editions of each of
his Animal films and Suspiria, and some

1443
02:03:38.239 --> 02:03:42.760
of it's kind of conventional. I
mean, it's an outland just story,

1444
02:03:42.800 --> 02:03:51.720
but a lot of the scenes seem
less not flashy, but less ostentatious as

1445
02:03:51.920 --> 02:03:59.319
as you might expect. What I
like most about the movie is something I

1446
02:03:59.319 --> 02:04:06.039
can't really talk ab the ending.
So if you've never seen Jollo, check

1447
02:04:06.079 --> 02:04:11.079
it out, which is probably a
lot of people. Yeah, it's it's

1448
02:04:12.119 --> 02:04:17.640
even if you hate it for the
first you know, ninety minute last two

1449
02:04:17.680 --> 02:04:26.760
you'll be like, oh cool,
So that's all I have to say about

1450
02:04:28.720 --> 02:04:32.479
Uh. My number four favorite is
actually a really good one to tie in

1451
02:04:32.560 --> 02:04:39.680
with what you just said, because
I I like the fact that a lot

1452
02:04:39.720 --> 02:04:47.439
of our gentle's work isn't necessarily coherent. A lot of it is is messy,

1453
02:04:47.600 --> 02:04:53.119
and it's it leaves a lot to
You got to fill in the blanks

1454
02:04:53.159 --> 02:04:55.800
a lot of the time, and
that's not necessarily a bad thing. I

1455
02:04:55.800 --> 02:04:59.680
think it makes a lot of the
stories even stronger. My number four is

1456
02:05:00.279 --> 02:05:05.079
one that I would probably say is
his most coherent story, and that is

1457
02:05:05.119 --> 02:05:10.920
going to be TENEBRAE. I went
back and forth on this one with another

1458
02:05:10.920 --> 02:05:14.640
one that I always related to Tenebra, even though they're nothing like each other

1459
02:05:14.720 --> 02:05:18.000
at all. But for this one, I just the whole John Saxon of

1460
02:05:18.039 --> 02:05:21.880
it all. He is great in
this movie, the story of you know,

1461
02:05:21.920 --> 02:05:30.439
the serial killer just going after somebody, always for using this author's novels

1462
02:05:30.479 --> 02:05:34.560
as inspiration and committing murder and all
this other stuff that goes with it.

1463
02:05:34.399 --> 02:05:43.119
It's very very argento. It is
still that stylish, super flourished scenes,

1464
02:05:43.359 --> 02:05:49.039
really great looking kills. Daria Nickelode's
great in this John Saxon, It's just

1465
02:05:49.079 --> 02:05:54.720
a really memorable film. The four
K looks incredible that was recently put out.

1466
02:05:54.880 --> 02:06:00.199
It is just a really great package
from Argento and one that it actstual.

1467
02:06:00.199 --> 02:06:02.119
He serves well on rewatch too.
It's one that can be fun to

1468
02:06:02.199 --> 02:06:10.399
go back into. Yeah, loved
love Tenebray the tracking shot. Ah yeah,

1469
02:06:10.439 --> 02:06:15.000
And you know, I'm sure many
people saw it. But the latest

1470
02:06:15.000 --> 02:06:17.000
season of Joe Bob Brave is the
last drive and they did a great episode

1471
02:06:17.000 --> 02:06:21.520
with tenne Bray. His commentary I
thought was pretty spot on, and you

1472
02:06:21.560 --> 02:06:26.439
know, let's do it now.
And at the end, we really need

1473
02:06:26.479 --> 02:06:32.000
to shout out Snaps Films for their
restorations Severn as well and Vinigar Syndrome of

1474
02:06:32.000 --> 02:06:36.840
course did one with with Trauma Trauma
and then Arrow they worked closely with Sinnams.

1475
02:06:36.880 --> 02:06:40.680
Do you got to throw those out
there? And Arrows, Arrows releases

1476
02:06:40.720 --> 02:06:44.239
of course, Arrow and Snaps especially, I mean they've done They've done lot

1477
02:06:44.239 --> 02:06:51.239
of titles and just gorgeous editions.
We were very lucky. Anything else on

1478
02:06:51.319 --> 02:06:55.479
Tennabray that I failed to mention that
you want to highlight No, I thought

1479
02:06:55.560 --> 02:07:00.359
I thought you. I thought you
were spot on with it being the most

1480
02:07:00.560 --> 02:07:05.600
coherent, uh, which is such
a funny word to use forgive phone,

1481
02:07:05.720 --> 02:07:13.920
because it's still way out there right
uh, and and confident in its in

1482
02:07:13.960 --> 02:07:17.399
its style. It's just you know, there's there's stuff in there that Brian

1483
02:07:17.439 --> 02:07:21.520
to Palmer couldn't have pulled off.
I don't think or or you would have

1484
02:07:21.600 --> 02:07:31.399
wouldn't have done it in his substantive
a way. Yeah, I can see

1485
02:07:31.399 --> 02:07:38.079
that. All right, What is
your number three least favorite? All right?

1486
02:07:38.159 --> 02:07:41.239
Mother of Tears? Somehow I was
going to call that. I almost

1487
02:07:41.239 --> 02:07:43.640
said, what is your number three
least favorite? Now? Why is it?

1488
02:07:43.680 --> 02:07:46.880
Mother of Tears? Well? I
think with the last three any anybody

1489
02:07:46.920 --> 02:07:54.720
who's Argento completionist is going to pretty
much know what they're gonna be. But

1490
02:07:55.000 --> 02:08:00.960
uh, but Mother of Tears,
I think it was doomed by the weight

1491
02:08:01.000 --> 02:08:07.720
of expectations, right, I mean
Inferno was nineteen eighty Mother of Tears?

1492
02:08:07.720 --> 02:08:13.359
What was that two thousand and eight, so you know people were waited looking

1493
02:08:13.439 --> 02:08:18.560
up them two thousand and seven,
so what twenty seven years people were waiting

1494
02:08:18.600 --> 02:08:31.520
for the film to complete the Mother's
trilogy or and you know he he doesn't

1495
02:08:31.520 --> 02:08:37.720
have that style anymore. You've got
Suspiria an Inferno, and you're gonna and

1496
02:08:37.760 --> 02:08:43.880
you're gonna try to put out a
film that's gonna sit with those two.

1497
02:08:45.159 --> 02:08:56.399
So you it would have been a
miracle if if if it had been close

1498
02:08:56.479 --> 02:09:03.680
to those two it was it was
not even close to close to it's uh

1499
02:09:03.800 --> 02:09:11.680
so, it's problem is it's incoherent
in a really unsuccessful way. It's hard

1500
02:09:11.880 --> 02:09:18.079
to kind of latch onto anything in
particular stylistically. You know, even even

1501
02:09:18.199 --> 02:09:22.760
even some of there's lesser work,
you can just kind of get into the

1502
02:09:22.800 --> 02:09:26.840
sensory experience, but this one is
it's the color palet is not even muted.

1503
02:09:26.920 --> 02:09:31.359
It's just gross. It's like,
you know, dark, dark,

1504
02:09:31.399 --> 02:09:37.840
red and black, and but there
is stuff to like about it. It's

1505
02:09:37.000 --> 02:09:46.000
really strange to see the end of
the world happening but in a really localized

1506
02:09:46.079 --> 02:09:52.319
spot while everything else seems to be
normal, and that that part is really

1507
02:09:52.439 --> 02:09:58.039
unsettling and destabilizing and confusing. That's
fun to watch. There's definitely some eye

1508
02:09:58.039 --> 02:10:13.840
candy among the the performer playing the
mother of tears, and there's some pretty

1509
02:10:13.920 --> 02:10:18.800
gory moments that kind of come out
of nowhere. So those are the things

1510
02:10:18.800 --> 02:10:24.119
I would say. I'm glad to
search a little bit for that. I

1511
02:10:24.159 --> 02:10:28.119
love the kismet that we have tonight
because on top of this, my number

1512
02:10:28.159 --> 02:10:31.840
three aligns perfectly with yours, and
it's probably gonna piss some people off in

1513
02:10:31.880 --> 02:10:37.560
the comments. My number three is
Suspiria. It's not my number one for

1514
02:10:37.720 --> 02:10:43.920
Argento, but I, first of
all, yeah, viewers crash. I

1515
02:10:45.560 --> 02:10:48.800
first of all, it's urgentle,
like one of the people that love the

1516
02:10:48.840 --> 02:10:52.600
type of movies we all love.
It's one of the best. Obviously,

1517
02:10:52.840 --> 02:10:58.439
his top five is head and shoulders
above a lot of others top ten,

1518
02:10:58.840 --> 02:11:03.159
no matter what, So these are
all great. I adore Suspiria. I

1519
02:11:03.239 --> 02:11:07.000
just saw it live with Goblin playing
it in a theater, and it is

1520
02:11:07.560 --> 02:11:16.239
a great, stylish, loud,
colorful, beautiful movie that is acted real

1521
02:11:16.239 --> 02:11:20.760
well with Jessica Harper obviously, and
is done in a way that is again

1522
02:11:20.800 --> 02:11:24.920
a little incoherent at times, but
that is probably this is one of the

1523
02:11:24.920 --> 02:11:28.680
better films that actually suits from the
incoherence a little bit, because it makes

1524
02:11:28.680 --> 02:11:35.000
you really wonder, like what the
hell is going on here? It is

1525
02:11:35.560 --> 02:11:41.520
just this unnerving, like what is
possibly about to go down in this building,

1526
02:11:41.720 --> 02:11:46.000
and it's gorgeous to look at.
I mean, everybody's talked about Suspiri

1527
02:11:46.000 --> 02:11:50.439
to death. There's not much to
say here. I will throw out one

1528
02:11:50.439 --> 02:11:52.760
more thing though. We were talking
about synapse. The four K they did

1529
02:11:52.760 --> 02:12:01.680
on this film is maybe the best
color looking four K to date. It

1530
02:12:01.800 --> 02:12:09.640
is gorgeous, It is bright,
it is lush, It has this genuine

1531
02:12:09.720 --> 02:12:15.039
texture that is just ridiculous. It
looks so great on four K. And

1532
02:12:15.079 --> 02:12:18.520
if you are even thinking of diving
into the format, or you're already in

1533
02:12:18.560 --> 02:12:22.119
the format and you don't have it
yet, oh my god, you need

1534
02:12:22.119 --> 02:12:26.079
this four K. It is so
so worth it so jealous that you got

1535
02:12:26.079 --> 02:12:35.000
to see it with Gobbin Plan live. That's that's amazing. Sidebar, since

1536
02:12:35.039 --> 02:12:41.199
we're talking about VHS earlier, okay, VHS collectors. This is why VHS

1537
02:12:41.880 --> 02:12:48.439
is nothing to be nostalgic about,
because of what it did to filmmakers like

1538
02:12:48.560 --> 02:12:56.000
Daria Argenta, cutting up their their
films and sucking all the vitality out of

1539
02:12:56.520 --> 02:13:01.319
How can you watch Suspiria without the
color, without the sound you know,

1540
02:13:01.439 --> 02:13:07.720
turned up loud real? I mean, filmmakers like that need you know,

1541
02:13:09.159 --> 02:13:13.439
no cannibal camp camp out, cannibal
hookers, things like that. They were

1542
02:13:13.479 --> 02:13:16.680
shot on video. That's for VHS. Go ahead and put those in your

1543
02:13:16.359 --> 02:13:24.920
Dario Argento needs four K. It's
absolutely worth it. Before we go into

1544
02:13:24.960 --> 02:13:28.479
our top two on both we got
a couple of questions. Sam says,

1545
02:13:28.520 --> 02:13:31.319
speaking of Argento, I've not seen
the Argenta cut of Dawn of the Dead.

1546
02:13:31.760 --> 02:13:35.239
How does it stack up against the
theatrical cut? You want to take

1547
02:13:35.239 --> 02:13:41.960
that one. I don't remember.
I don't remember the visual aspect. The

1548
02:13:41.960 --> 02:13:45.359
big thing for me is they got
Goblin to do the score right right.

1549
02:13:45.479 --> 02:13:50.479
The score is the main the main
change for me. Obviously, it's a

1550
02:13:50.520 --> 02:13:54.520
lot. It's I felt thirty minutes
shorter, right. A lot of the

1551
02:13:54.600 --> 02:13:58.600
characters, a lot of the character
scenes or dialogue scenes are are cut,

1552
02:14:00.119 --> 02:14:03.920
a lot less exposition. And I
have to tell you I saw the Argento

1553
02:14:05.039 --> 02:14:09.840
cut once when I got like the
there was that Donna the Dead Ultimate edition

1554
02:14:09.920 --> 02:14:16.000
on DVD that had the theatrical the
unrated and Argenta saw it once, but

1555
02:14:16.079 --> 02:14:22.479
I never really felt the need to
revisit it because the director's cut is the

1556
02:14:22.479 --> 02:14:26.560
one to watch. And I know, I mean Georgie Rameiro loved dialogue,

1557
02:14:26.640 --> 02:14:30.159
and I'm not going to take that
out. Yeah, I mean, and

1558
02:14:30.159 --> 02:14:37.520
it's uh. I think the most
interesting thing about Argento's involvement with Donn of

1559
02:14:37.520 --> 02:14:41.199
the Dead is that Dario Argenta was
involved with Donna Dead, you know,

1560
02:14:41.319 --> 02:14:46.600
like his his cut makes it neither
an Argenta movie nor a Rameiro movie.

1561
02:14:48.239 --> 02:14:52.159
And and and as such, I
just I just wasn't that interested in seeing

1562
02:14:52.159 --> 02:14:56.680
it other than as a kind of
intellectual curiosity. So I'm sorry. I

1563
02:14:56.760 --> 02:15:00.840
know that's not a great answer.
I uh but I just haven't seen them

1564
02:15:00.880 --> 02:15:03.439
so long that I couldn't name specific
sequences there. It is fun to see

1565
02:15:03.439 --> 02:15:07.439
once, especially for the Goblin score. They do great work on it.

1566
02:15:09.039 --> 02:15:11.479
And in fact, they played a
couple of the tracks after I saw them

1567
02:15:11.520 --> 02:15:16.319
live this time and it's still just
killed. So it yeah, fun to

1568
02:15:16.399 --> 02:15:18.079
check out once, but it's not
one I seek out. Yeah, you

1569
02:15:18.119 --> 02:15:24.239
know, get the soundtrack on your
What are the kids have these days?

1570
02:15:24.399 --> 02:15:33.199
iTunes? No the portable vinyl players, uh, Rubin. Rubin says,

1571
02:15:33.239 --> 02:15:39.880
I have never watched any Argento films. Where should I start? Do you

1572
02:15:39.960 --> 02:15:43.640
want to? I mean, it
depends on what you are super into.

1573
02:15:43.760 --> 02:15:48.680
If you have seen any Shallo films
and you like Yallo, You've just never

1574
02:15:48.720 --> 02:15:54.079
seen any of the Argenta ones.
I might even just say go chronologically with

1575
02:15:54.159 --> 02:15:58.920
his first like at least the Yallo
films, obviously, like his first five

1576
02:15:58.000 --> 02:16:01.840
Yallo, and then you see if
you're still into it, if you have

1577
02:16:01.359 --> 02:16:07.720
not been into Jallo or whatever,
Suspiria is actually probably the way to go

1578
02:16:07.760 --> 02:16:11.640
for a lot of people. Yeah, I was gonna say either either with

1579
02:16:11.640 --> 02:16:16.319
Crystal Plumage or or Suspiria. Now
I'm obsessive, and anytime somebody suggests a

1580
02:16:16.359 --> 02:16:20.199
director to me, I'm like,
I'm gonna watch their first film, and

1581
02:16:20.199 --> 02:16:24.399
then I'm gonna watch every other film
they've ever made, even if it's Dennis

1582
02:16:24.439 --> 02:16:31.239
Dugan and so, you know,
burb with Crystal Plumage might be a good

1583
02:16:31.239 --> 02:16:33.360
place to start, just because it
is his first film, and then if

1584
02:16:33.399 --> 02:16:39.040
you find it interesting, you can
go go forward. Yeah, Stan's got

1585
02:16:39.040 --> 02:16:45.120
it right. Ramerez cut is infinitely
better, but the Goblin score is anyway.

1586
02:16:45.200 --> 02:16:50.959
Yeah, deep Red maybe, but
Suspiria probably is. When I introduced

1587
02:16:50.959 --> 02:16:58.440
student starts into either Deep Red or
Suspiria are usually the ones that put on

1588
02:16:58.440 --> 02:17:01.200
the syllabus, unless I'm feeling free
ski. I'm like, let's go a

1589
02:17:01.280 --> 02:17:05.959
phenomena this time. You know,
this looks like a chimp class. Let's

1590
02:17:05.959 --> 02:17:16.200
go in what is your second least
favorite Argento. Okay, again, probably

1591
02:17:16.200 --> 02:17:18.000
not going to be a surprise to
anybody, but it's the card player.

1592
02:17:20.280 --> 02:17:24.879
And of course the biggest problem with
the card player is the fucking Internet poker,

1593
02:17:26.760 --> 02:17:31.399
which looked out at date, even
even in two thousand and four the

1594
02:17:31.520 --> 02:17:35.520
film came out, I was like, what is the internet like in Italy?

1595
02:17:39.479 --> 02:17:46.479
The Internet poker game which is so
important? Well, actually it isn't

1596
02:17:46.479 --> 02:17:54.399
even that important to the not really, so why it's just so silly looking

1597
02:17:54.520 --> 02:18:03.680
and and and it really Yeah,
I don't know. I go back and

1598
02:18:03.719 --> 02:18:09.760
forth, right, because the internet
poker game that that the killer uses as

1599
02:18:09.799 --> 02:18:13.959
the conceit to to mess with the
mess with the police investigators and to kill

1600
02:18:15.000 --> 02:18:20.040
people doesn't lead. It's a game
that is completely random, and so the

1601
02:18:22.239 --> 02:18:26.239
players don't get to make any decisions, right, And and that takes that

1602
02:18:26.319 --> 02:18:33.959
takes a lot of the possibility for
for dramatic tension out because you're just to

1603
02:18:35.040 --> 02:18:37.559
play. You just sit there and
steer at the screen and wait for the

1604
02:18:37.600 --> 02:18:41.840
cards. To be turned over and
see who won. So that that just

1605
02:18:41.879 --> 02:18:45.840
does not work for me. On
the other hand, you could argue,

1606
02:18:45.879 --> 02:18:48.879
well, this is how fate works, or or this is how or not

1607
02:18:48.920 --> 02:18:52.799
even fake, but this is how
the randomness, the chaos of the universe

1608
02:18:52.840 --> 02:18:56.159
works. You have no agency,
so you know, you can look at

1609
02:18:56.200 --> 02:19:05.520
it either way. I do think
that the climactic sequence on the train tracks

1610
02:19:05.559 --> 02:19:15.000
as pretty tight. I really enjoy
that. There's a great scene of exooming

1611
02:19:15.000 --> 02:19:22.319
a corpse and having its gases explode. That is probably the most single most

1612
02:19:22.360 --> 02:19:30.280
memorable part of the movie. And
so yeah, those those those bits are

1613
02:19:30.280 --> 02:19:37.600
what I would recommend about The card
Player. The card Player, Yeah,

1614
02:19:39.040 --> 02:19:41.040
this is one that obviously gets scorned
by a lot of people, but it's

1615
02:19:41.079 --> 02:19:43.920
got its fans too. It's our
gento, so it's still got a lot

1616
02:19:43.959 --> 02:19:48.799
of people that like it. My
number two we actually just talked about a

1617
02:19:48.840 --> 02:19:50.600
lot, and I didn't want to
reveal that this was number two yet.

1618
02:19:50.639 --> 02:19:56.079
But Deep Red, Deep Red,
first of all, incredible on four K

1619
02:19:56.959 --> 02:20:03.000
again, really great restoration. But
this movie is for me. This is

1620
02:20:03.120 --> 02:20:11.799
like the de facto argento when it
comes to like straightforward jallo horror. This

1621
02:20:11.879 --> 02:20:16.559
is the film that really goes all
in on some of the weirdness. It's

1622
02:20:16.600 --> 02:20:24.000
got some of the best like iconic
shots for our gento. I like a

1623
02:20:24.000 --> 02:20:28.680
lot of the music with this one. It is so well done. If

1624
02:20:28.719 --> 02:20:33.479
I remember, I think this is
the is this the one that no,

1625
02:20:33.559 --> 02:20:35.639
never mind, this can't be.
That was gonna be a stupid statement.

1626
02:20:35.959 --> 02:20:39.920
I'll keep that one tight to the
best. This one is one that is

1627
02:20:41.159 --> 02:20:45.319
again fairly straightforward, kind of like
Tannebray, but also it goes weird and

1628
02:20:45.520 --> 02:20:50.120
random in a bunch of other situations, so not really the same at all.

1629
02:20:50.239 --> 02:20:54.200
A deep Red is just kind of
a unique thing in his filmography.

1630
02:20:54.600 --> 02:20:56.200
It's a hard one to talk about
with that spoiling a lot of things.

1631
02:20:56.239 --> 02:21:00.200
So for a lot of people that
haven't seen it, I would just say

1632
02:21:01.000 --> 02:21:03.879
this is to me, if you
were just looking for like straightforward horror,

1633
02:21:03.959 --> 02:21:09.159
this might be the one I would
say to dive into. Yeah, yeah,

1634
02:21:09.200 --> 02:21:16.120
it's a lot of fun, it
is. And that fucking doll dude,

1635
02:21:16.120 --> 02:21:24.879
Jigsaw has got nothing on that dog. Oh man. Yeah, deep

1636
02:21:24.920 --> 02:21:28.799
Red is great though. Yeah,
And you know, students really respond to

1637
02:21:28.840 --> 02:21:33.280
that one in ways that surprised me, Like I always think you know,

1638
02:21:33.280 --> 02:21:37.440
I'm looking at people in the in
the audience for for class, and you

1639
02:21:37.479 --> 02:21:39.680
know, when people have signed up
for cult films, they really don't know

1640
02:21:39.680 --> 02:21:46.479
what they're getting into. Because I
my cult films. I do not mean

1641
02:21:46.520 --> 02:21:52.639
Big Lebowski, you know, which
is a great movie, but it aah

1642
02:21:52.719 --> 02:22:01.000
so deep Read is usually my student's
first exposure to John and to Our Gento

1643
02:22:01.360 --> 02:22:11.399
and two subtitles, you know,
and I'm always pleasantly surprised how how much

1644
02:22:11.440 --> 02:22:15.360
they like it and how much they
pick out of it, like homoerotic elements

1645
02:22:15.399 --> 02:22:18.120
and some of the problematic nature of
some of the representation, but some of

1646
02:22:18.159 --> 02:22:24.639
the interesting nature of the representation as
well. So, yeah, that's a

1647
02:22:24.680 --> 02:22:31.000
good that's a definitely, it's a
classic. Yeah, it absolutely has to

1648
02:22:31.040 --> 02:22:35.440
be in the top five. I
think, all right, we're down to

1649
02:22:35.639 --> 02:22:41.639
your least favorite argentle film. Yeah, so to know, but well,

1650
02:22:41.639 --> 02:22:43.959
okay, actually I should say this
before him. You know, we talked

1651
02:22:43.959 --> 02:22:50.440
about this era of Ourgento being his
his you know, less good period.

1652
02:22:50.760 --> 02:22:58.040
But it's also a time that produced
Sleepless, which is awesome. Do you

1653
02:22:58.159 --> 02:23:01.639
like Hitchcock, which is another one
a TV movie he did that another one

1654
02:23:01.639 --> 02:23:07.000
that needs a blue ray restoration,
which is really really good. And it's

1655
02:23:07.000 --> 02:23:13.120
two episodes of Masters of Horror Pelts
and Jennifer, which are both uh they're

1656
02:23:15.159 --> 02:23:18.879
the strong yeah, and the two
of the strongest episodes of that whole series.

1657
02:23:20.399 --> 02:23:22.200
Not being said, this is also
the era that produced Dracula three D.

1658
02:23:24.440 --> 02:23:31.319
And I I I think of all
the people I've ever discussed Dracula three

1659
02:23:31.399 --> 02:23:39.879
D with the most the most generous
assessment has been people just going, you

1660
02:23:39.920 --> 02:23:45.360
know, I really wanted to like
it. I was so excited about it.

1661
02:23:45.680 --> 02:23:48.040
Argento doing three D so the worst
the worst part of the movie is

1662
02:23:48.040 --> 02:23:58.559
the three D right, the the
the the praying Mantis thing, and it's

1663
02:23:58.600 --> 02:24:07.840
and it's and it's really uh,
it's a unique Dracula story in that it's

1664
02:24:09.319 --> 02:24:13.719
I don't can you call it a
story? I'm not sure, but that's

1665
02:24:13.760 --> 02:24:18.840
not that's not necessarily an insult in
an Argenta movie. It just it just

1666
02:24:18.959 --> 02:24:22.959
nothing about it really works. What
what good to say about it? Well,

1667
02:24:22.040 --> 02:24:28.920
Rutger Hower, but also Rutger Hower
is uh the down says of the

1668
02:24:28.959 --> 02:24:35.079
movie because he's really not going doing
his best work. But it's still Rutger

1669
02:24:35.079 --> 02:24:39.440
Hower as Dracula. It's it's the
only time you'll see Rutger Hower as Dracula.

1670
02:24:39.959 --> 02:24:46.639
Ah It, let's see what I
am blissfully ignorant of Argenta's directed three

1671
02:24:46.719 --> 02:24:50.799
D. I'm not. I'm not
suggesting you should see it, but I

1672
02:24:50.840 --> 02:24:52.920
am just like Stan, I still
have never seen this. Okay, so

1673
02:24:54.399 --> 02:25:01.120
what what good can I say about
it? The dresses, the gowns are

1674
02:25:03.079 --> 02:25:09.000
hm. I wouldn't say they're period
accurate, but there they They They could

1675
02:25:09.040 --> 02:25:16.040
be in a Hammer movie. I
guess, uh, you know, I've

1676
02:25:16.040 --> 02:25:18.639
been thinking about this all show Like, what good can I say about three

1677
02:25:18.719 --> 02:25:28.840
D? It's a disappointment. I
think like Argenta did better three D effects

1678
02:25:28.879 --> 02:25:35.120
in two D and in Infant of
the Opera there's a great like impalement scene

1679
02:25:35.159 --> 02:25:39.959
that jumps out of the screen.
He just did not have the budget for

1680
02:25:39.639 --> 02:25:50.079
the technicians to do this and and
it screws everything up. Fatians said,

1681
02:25:50.440 --> 02:25:58.600
Okay, some of the sets are
pretty cool. There's some you know,

1682
02:25:58.639 --> 02:26:01.040
it's rough in urgentle film. The
first thing that you're thinking about is the

1683
02:26:01.120 --> 02:26:07.559
costume design. It's bad, y'all. I try, I you know,

1684
02:26:07.920 --> 02:26:15.399
and Ryan, I so respect you. You actually have changed the way I

1685
02:26:15.440 --> 02:26:20.840
approach films with your mantra, every
film is someone's favorite film. However,

1686
02:26:20.879 --> 02:26:26.319
tonight I'm going to defy you and
say that Dracula three D is no one's

1687
02:26:26.399 --> 02:26:30.959
favorite film on the face of this
earth. I bet, for at least

1688
02:26:30.959 --> 02:26:35.840
a few days it was Argento's favorite. I don't know, man, You

1689
02:26:35.879 --> 02:26:39.840
watch it and tell me what you
think. That's a good that's a good

1690
02:26:39.959 --> 02:26:46.559
question. My number one, thankfully
I'm gonna pivot away from Dracula three D

1691
02:26:46.680 --> 02:26:52.280
quickly, is I think, uh, the the movie not necessarily color wise,

1692
02:26:52.319 --> 02:26:56.639
which argentle is really known for,
but I think the most visually stunning

1693
02:26:56.680 --> 02:27:01.639
film of Argento's, which I really
hope people come together and get this out

1694
02:27:01.680 --> 02:27:05.239
on four K soon because I cannot
wait to see a four K disc of

1695
02:27:05.280 --> 02:27:07.120
this. But my number one,
I've mentioned on the show quite a few

1696
02:27:07.159 --> 02:27:16.799
times is opera. Opera has some
of the most intriguing visual aspects. It

1697
02:27:16.920 --> 02:27:22.760
has some really great acting, some
great sound design in this film. The

1698
02:27:22.799 --> 02:27:26.920
story itself like the fact that the
star of an opera gets mowed down by

1699
02:27:28.000 --> 02:27:33.000
a car so somebody else has to
jump in, and the whole Macbeth curse

1700
02:27:33.120 --> 02:27:37.680
coming in and taking people out surrounding
this star. But then in the actual

1701
02:27:37.680 --> 02:27:41.959
production of the film, Margento for
a while thought that the Macbeth curse was

1702
02:27:43.000 --> 02:27:46.239
coming for him because they I think
they had somebody that was making the film

1703
02:27:46.399 --> 02:27:52.920
died during the production, and they
had a couple other small accidents. This

1704
02:27:52.159 --> 02:28:01.520
movie is just stunning and terrifying,
and you know, the most the most

1705
02:28:01.639 --> 02:28:07.559
visually memorable scene, the pins under
the eyes is just such a sadistic thing

1706
02:28:07.600 --> 02:28:11.440
to put on film, and really
Argento is one of the only people that

1707
02:28:11.479 --> 02:28:16.239
could do something like this and make
you after the film go god, that

1708
02:28:16.399 --> 02:28:22.520
was really good. Like it is
such a beautiful set piece. It is

1709
02:28:22.840 --> 02:28:26.440
one again one of the more like
believable type stories. And then after all

1710
02:28:26.520 --> 02:28:31.239
of that, it's very hitchc Not
Hitchcock, I've read somebody else's comment there,

1711
02:28:31.360 --> 02:28:35.799
it's very Argento because all of a
sudden they're in like the Swiss countryside

1712
02:28:35.799 --> 02:28:39.440
at the end of this movie,
and it is such an odd Yeah,

1713
02:28:39.479 --> 02:28:45.120
opera is amazing. This movie is
so great and if you've never seen it,

1714
02:28:45.280 --> 02:28:48.280
you absolutely have to. I know
it's been hard to see. The

1715
02:28:48.399 --> 02:28:52.360
Scorpion blu Ray has been very hard
to find because it went out of print

1716
02:28:52.399 --> 02:28:56.399
so quickly. I really hope somebody
gets us on four K so I've got

1717
02:28:56.399 --> 02:29:03.399
that condition. End of family,
the opportunity. Yeah, the crow shot

1718
02:29:03.680 --> 02:29:07.959
right, Yeah, what a what
a cool thing. You know, I

1719
02:29:07.360 --> 02:29:11.079
was not sure what number one was
gonna be. I had a couple of

1720
02:29:11.079 --> 02:29:18.440
candidates in mine, but but I
anticipated it right before you said it when

1721
02:29:18.479 --> 02:29:24.719
you said visually stunning, because what
popped into my head was the Piers Dies.

1722
02:29:26.840 --> 02:29:30.479
Oh that's great. That's a good
top five for those that have never

1723
02:29:30.559 --> 02:29:35.000
seen it. Like the art on
the Scorpion slip cover, it is such

1724
02:29:35.120 --> 02:29:41.040
an iconic shot. And I mean
looking at the back of this the things

1725
02:29:41.079 --> 02:29:46.879
that are in this film are this
movie is just great and this this release

1726
02:29:46.920 --> 02:29:52.440
from Scorpion truly incredible. This God, I think it's three discs, Yeah,

1727
02:29:52.479 --> 02:29:56.159
three dis set. There's a poster
in here. This was such a

1728
02:29:56.159 --> 02:30:00.319
great release. I'm so sad that
more people couldn't get this. Yeah,

1729
02:30:00.479 --> 02:30:05.959
just a beautiful, beautiful movie.
I'm sorry, a good top five.

1730
02:30:07.559 --> 02:30:11.879
I'm sorry it wasn't Suspiria to everybody
that wanted done subscribe immediately, but yeah,

1731
02:30:11.959 --> 02:30:16.600
opera And the funny thing is a
lot of people with our Gento.

1732
02:30:16.600 --> 02:30:20.559
It's the first one they watch that
hits for them and they hold on to

1733
02:30:20.680 --> 02:30:26.600
the most. But I I saw
Suspiria first like most people, and even

1734
02:30:26.600 --> 02:30:28.920
though I was taken by it,
I love the colors, loved the whole

1735
02:30:30.000 --> 02:30:33.879
Witch's storyline and all that something about
opera when it came on, and I

1736
02:30:33.959 --> 02:30:37.479
just connected to it. And I
don't know if it's the whole musical aspect

1737
02:30:37.479 --> 02:30:41.399
of it, which Argento has in
a few of his films, but this

1738
02:30:41.479 --> 02:30:46.000
movie is just it is such a
like it's a storyline that really draws you

1739
02:30:46.040 --> 02:30:52.799
in. Yeah, yeah, no, I think that's a legit number one

1740
02:30:52.680 --> 02:31:01.000
good. Yeah, I won't I
won't be on subscribing fan fantastic. Yeah.

1741
02:31:01.079 --> 02:31:05.559
Dario Argento obviously is a master for
things that he's innovated, things that

1742
02:31:05.639 --> 02:31:13.239
he has inspired, things that he
has been able to just solidify as imprints

1743
02:31:13.280 --> 02:31:20.319
in horror forever. And I'm appreciative
of what he's done and I hope everybody

1744
02:31:20.040 --> 02:31:28.360
eventually at least checks out some of
his stuff. Yeah, it is December

1745
02:31:28.399 --> 02:31:31.520
first of twenty twenty two, and
the next thing we're going to talk about

1746
02:31:31.719 --> 02:31:35.680
is the just I'm on the East
Coast, so it's December second for me,

1747
02:31:35.799 --> 02:31:39.840
but go ahead. Well, the
date this article came out is December

1748
02:31:39.879 --> 02:31:46.040
first, and that is of course
the Sight and Sound poll results. And

1749
02:31:46.200 --> 02:31:50.840
a lot of people very upset about
this, and we just wanted to go

1750
02:31:50.920 --> 02:31:56.399
over a couple quick things from it, because go ahead, I gotta tell

1751
02:31:56.440 --> 02:32:00.879
you. I got a text from
David A. Cook, who, for

1752
02:32:00.959 --> 02:32:05.079
our listeners, is the author of
Lost Illusions, American Cinema in the Shadow

1753
02:32:05.079 --> 02:32:11.399
of Watergate and Vietnam, and A
History of Three D Cinema and a History

1754
02:32:11.440 --> 02:32:20.719
of Narrative Film. So he's a
August and imminent cinema scholar. And about

1755
02:32:20.840 --> 02:32:28.799
an hour ago I got a text
that said, Gene d no, No,

1756
02:32:35.479 --> 02:32:41.639
that's hilarious. So he's against it. So the BFI list for the

1757
02:32:41.239 --> 02:32:45.959
supposed greatest films of all time came
out today and a lot of people are

1758
02:32:46.159 --> 02:32:50.280
upset about this. For those that
may not know, this list comes out

1759
02:32:50.639 --> 02:32:54.719
every decade. This has been going
on for seventy years now. I think

1760
02:32:54.719 --> 02:33:00.000
fifty two is the first one.
This is Oh yeah, says right there,

1761
02:33:00.120 --> 02:33:03.280
I'm not even looking at the screen. This year's edition, it's eighth,

1762
02:33:03.360 --> 02:33:07.840
is the largest ever, with sixteen
one hundred and thirty nine participating critics,

1763
02:33:07.840 --> 02:33:11.000
programmers, curators, archivists, and
academics, each submitting their own top

1764
02:33:11.079 --> 02:33:18.079
ten ballot. And there is an
interesting trajectory of films that you can watch

1765
02:33:18.079 --> 02:33:20.639
throughout the years of how they either
rise in the ranks or fall off of

1766
02:33:20.159 --> 02:33:28.680
the poll entirely. And this year
saw some really really interesting things enter into

1767
02:33:28.719 --> 02:33:33.360
the top hundred. So just going
to get Will's take on some of these,

1768
02:33:33.799 --> 02:33:37.360
and we're going to have a little
bit of dialogue. And you have

1769
02:33:37.399 --> 02:33:39.360
not seen the list at all yet, have you. I'm looking at it

1770
02:33:39.440 --> 02:33:43.360
now. Well, I've pulled it
up after I got the text from David

1771
02:33:43.360 --> 02:33:46.319
Cook because I was like, what
the hell are you talking about? Man,

1772
02:33:46.479 --> 02:33:54.360
just get this text, and said
gene dealman. So I'm looking at

1773
02:33:54.360 --> 02:34:03.120
it now, And first of all, I'm curious about the complaints. Now

1774
02:34:03.159 --> 02:34:11.680
the last I can't remember the last
version of this I even paid attention to,

1775
02:34:11.760 --> 02:34:24.360
but I see no Quentin Tarantino,
So that's accurate. The top ten

1776
02:34:24.680 --> 02:34:28.159
looks, you know, has changed
a little bit, but most of the

1777
02:34:28.200 --> 02:34:33.959
films in the top ten have consistently
been there for quite a while or around

1778
02:34:35.079 --> 02:34:39.680
that top area. So yeah,
let's get into where are people complaining about.

1779
02:34:39.719 --> 02:34:43.319
Let's let's address it first off before, just to lay the groundwork.

1780
02:34:43.680 --> 02:34:48.600
Lists like these are are subjective as
all hell, and some people will look

1781
02:34:48.600 --> 02:34:52.959
at this list and think that it
is completely invalid because one film is present.

1782
02:34:54.040 --> 02:34:56.159
Some people will look at this and
say, this is gospel and this

1783
02:34:56.239 --> 02:35:01.120
is the greatest thing to ever be
created. And because you have so many,

1784
02:35:03.120 --> 02:35:09.319
so many different spectrum of what you
could react to this, basically that

1785
02:35:09.399 --> 02:35:11.399
was not a proper sentence, so
many different takes on a spectrum that you

1786
02:35:11.440 --> 02:35:18.879
could react to this. It is
a It's not really a great gauge of

1787
02:35:18.959 --> 02:35:22.399
the greatest films of all time the
way that they speak on it. The

1788
02:35:22.799 --> 02:35:28.319
important thing to take with this is
that this is a poll of sixteen hundred

1789
02:35:28.399 --> 02:35:33.840
and almost sixteen hundred and forty people
around the entire world that all have different

1790
02:35:33.840 --> 02:35:41.040
experiences with film, and it is
just that it is a current snapshot of

1791
02:35:41.079 --> 02:35:46.479
what these people are feeling to dive
in. One of the biggest complaints is

1792
02:35:46.600 --> 02:35:50.399
there are too many recent films.
And with number one hundred on this list,

1793
02:35:50.440 --> 02:35:54.200
we see get Out that is not
the most recent film. We have

1794
02:35:54.239 --> 02:36:01.000
two films from twenty nineteen that are
higher on this list, which we yeah,

1795
02:36:01.040 --> 02:36:05.440
Portrait of a Girl on Fire and
Parasite. Portrait of a Girl on

1796
02:36:05.479 --> 02:36:09.879
Fire is number thirty, Parasite is
number ninety. We got to get out

1797
02:36:09.879 --> 02:36:13.360
here from twenty seventeen, and I
think we have one more from the twenty

1798
02:36:13.479 --> 02:36:20.399
tens that we will come across.
But historically, like in twenty twelve,

1799
02:36:20.399 --> 02:36:24.440
I don't think there was any in
the previous decade from when this was released.

1800
02:36:24.440 --> 02:36:26.760
The earliest one after then was two
thousand or two thousand and one.

1801
02:36:28.319 --> 02:36:31.760
So to have such recent films,
a lot of people say, I've read

1802
02:36:31.799 --> 02:36:37.319
so many people today say that the
list should not be allowed to include films

1803
02:36:37.319 --> 02:36:41.959
from the last five to ten years. And what a hot take is that.

1804
02:36:43.079 --> 02:36:45.520
I mean, this is about the
greatest films of all time. It's

1805
02:36:45.520 --> 02:36:50.559
not the greatest films of all time
minus certain years. Yeah, I mean

1806
02:36:50.440 --> 02:36:56.440
there's something to be said for having
a little bit of distance and you know,

1807
02:36:56.559 --> 02:36:58.280
taking time to reassess. I mean, you know, at one point,

1808
02:36:58.399 --> 02:37:03.079
life is beauty for one best picture, you know, you know what

1809
02:37:03.079 --> 02:37:13.520
I mean. On the other hand, yeah, you know, films come

1810
02:37:13.559 --> 02:37:20.959
out and they have these moments when
they are extremely impactful in their moments,

1811
02:37:22.000 --> 02:37:24.000
right, and then we'll see if
they have a lasting legacy, which is

1812
02:37:24.000 --> 02:37:30.239
why you revisit the That's the whole
idea with revisiting every ten years. I

1813
02:37:30.280 --> 02:37:43.879
mean, when you're asked to select
a list like this, you get you

1814
02:37:43.959 --> 02:37:50.200
get a little bit of a performance
anxiety, whether it's conscious or some unconscious

1815
02:37:50.440 --> 02:38:01.639
And I think I think a lot
of the rankings take into account right historical

1816
02:38:01.719 --> 02:38:07.799
context, and and people begin to
think about representation and every in every sense

1817
02:38:07.799 --> 02:38:11.959
of the word, right. I'm
not just talking about the sort of contemporary

1818
02:38:13.040 --> 02:38:26.360
ways we think, uh we use
that word. I'm pleased to see much

1819
02:38:26.079 --> 02:38:35.600
much less Hollywood and less europe uh
in in here, although to still obviously

1820
02:38:35.639 --> 02:38:41.479
dominate, I mean the vast majority. Yep. I think that's but I

1821
02:38:41.000 --> 02:38:48.200
think that's cool. I think that's
I wouldn't have I wouldn't necessarily include every

1822
02:38:48.399 --> 02:38:50.719
individual title, but I like that. I like the way this is dispersed.

1823
02:38:52.959 --> 02:38:54.760
Moonlight is the other one from the
twenty tens that I forgot here,

1824
02:38:56.000 --> 02:38:58.200
right, and a lot of people
have said about that one and get Out

1825
02:38:58.319 --> 02:39:05.120
especially think that they should not be
anywhere near this list. One important comment

1826
02:39:05.399 --> 02:39:09.040
is the Eric in the comment says
the best part of the Cite and Sound

1827
02:39:09.079 --> 02:39:11.719
pole is looking at the individual list. The top one hunter is just a

1828
02:39:11.719 --> 02:39:16.520
consensus. So the important thing there
is there are sixteen hundred and thirty nine

1829
02:39:16.559 --> 02:39:22.440
lists of top ten films and eventually
they will likely release all of them and

1830
02:39:22.479 --> 02:39:28.159
you can find out who contributed and
what they contributed, and it is this

1831
02:39:28.959 --> 02:39:33.399
massive list of things that you can
use to discover films. I mean,

1832
02:39:33.479 --> 02:39:37.600
Kat Ellinger contributed to this and none
of her choices made it onto the list

1833
02:39:37.600 --> 02:39:45.920
at all. Literally no, no, not a single Jose Lauraz film some

1834
02:39:46.079 --> 02:39:50.920
other glaring emissions. That was some
complaints there are there is not a single

1835
02:39:50.399 --> 02:39:54.959
Latin American film on the list at
all. Oh that's true, Yeah,

1836
02:39:54.959 --> 02:40:01.079
I'm seeing that. But the big
thing is that because of the nature of

1837
02:40:01.120 --> 02:40:05.760
the last ten years CIT and Sound
and BFI and all that there are a

1838
02:40:05.799 --> 02:40:11.879
lot more diverse contributors to the list, and that includes a lot more women,

1839
02:40:11.239 --> 02:40:16.879
which means that a lot more women
filmmakers were selected in this list.

1840
02:40:16.120 --> 02:40:20.840
And there are I mean, we
got one right there, the piano from

1841
02:40:20.920 --> 02:40:24.639
Jane Campion. There are so many
films on this list that are right for

1842
02:40:24.719 --> 02:40:31.159
discovery for many people, and that
is probably the most exciting thing is just

1843
02:40:31.200 --> 02:40:35.079
to see how many people will look
at this over the next ten years and

1844
02:40:35.399 --> 02:40:41.440
create a checklist and go through it
or discover their new favorite film. Well,

1845
02:40:41.440 --> 02:40:48.520
and I should hope that more men
are voting for films made vot you

1846
02:40:48.559 --> 02:40:54.319
would hope, So, yeah,
hope. Yeah. I do notice a

1847
02:40:54.360 --> 02:40:56.920
couple of things that are surprising to
me as I look closer. I'm surprised

1848
02:40:58.000 --> 02:41:07.719
know Luis Binwell films. You know, That's that's an interesting omission. At

1849
02:41:07.760 --> 02:41:15.000
the same time, as I look
through this list, I can confidently say

1850
02:41:15.040 --> 02:41:22.280
that I would I would want myself
and I would recommend seeing every movie on

1851
02:41:22.319 --> 02:41:26.319
this list, Like there's there's there's
no film on this list where I'm like,

1852
02:41:26.079 --> 02:41:28.280
I'm not, I don't ever want
to see that again. Well,

1853
02:41:28.319 --> 02:41:31.280
actually, there is one movie on
here that I would never want to see

1854
02:41:31.280 --> 02:41:39.559
again, but I think it should
be seen. What's that? Well,

1855
02:41:39.719 --> 02:41:43.200
since you were brave enough to rank
Suspirito number three, I'll be brave enough

1856
02:41:43.239 --> 02:41:48.319
to say I don't care for a
Blade Runner. I get that there's a

1857
02:41:48.319 --> 02:41:52.920
lot of Blade Runner haters. I'm
not a Blade Runner hater, although I'm

1858
02:41:52.959 --> 02:42:01.440
a Ridley Scott hater, but anyway, like, yeah, I would definitely

1859
02:42:01.639 --> 02:42:05.719
like if if you were like,
hey, well you can take one off

1860
02:42:05.719 --> 02:42:09.000
and replace it, I would.
I would drop Blade Runner and get a

1861
02:42:09.200 --> 02:42:18.159
boon Well film in there, those
all the Dodos or something. But outside

1862
02:42:18.200 --> 02:42:20.600
of that, I mean, there's
some films I'm really excited to see,

1863
02:42:20.840 --> 02:42:24.920
like Knight of the Hunter, Like, hey, great, who does that

1864
02:42:24.959 --> 02:42:30.600
good for you? You know,
that's really cool? And then a lot

1865
02:42:30.639 --> 02:42:37.799
of these are are just a lot
of these are embedded right or ingrained in

1866
02:42:37.879 --> 02:42:43.239
these lists and are never going anywhere, absolutely so, and I'm you know,

1867
02:42:45.879 --> 02:42:50.239
I'm uh, which I was the
Douglas circu imitation of life? Okay,

1868
02:42:50.440 --> 02:42:58.159
that's interesting, h I'm looking for
things to quibble with. I'm like,

1869
02:42:58.319 --> 02:43:05.959
well to Miyazaki movies, no,
I think this. Uh. I

1870
02:43:07.000 --> 02:43:09.319
don't think last time there was any
animation on the list, So it's nice

1871
02:43:09.360 --> 02:43:16.799
to see any here. Yeah,
let's see. I remember one list had

1872
02:43:16.799 --> 02:43:20.479
like snow White in the Seven Dwarves, right, yeah, I think that

1873
02:43:20.600 --> 02:43:26.040
was ninety two, Yeah, a
long time ago. I'm just saying there

1874
02:43:26.040 --> 02:43:30.000
are other directors of anime, you
know, Let's see, Uh, let's

1875
02:43:30.000 --> 02:43:33.959
see Grave of the Fireflies. That's
why that's one that would not have been

1876
02:43:33.959 --> 02:43:41.440
surprising. I'm glad to see two
Kibuokis on there. Yep, Daughters of

1877
02:43:41.520 --> 02:43:43.559
the Dust, I'm glad to see
on there. Well, oh we got

1878
02:43:43.559 --> 02:43:50.200
two Chantale Ackerman films News from Home. But that's a good movie, not

1879
02:43:50.280 --> 02:43:52.840
a movie that I'm gonna like pop
on on a Friday night and be like,

1880
02:43:52.879 --> 02:43:56.319
hey, let me have a glass
of wine watch a movie. But

1881
02:43:58.639 --> 02:44:07.000
okay, let's well, let's address
this so Jene Dealman. For for those

1882
02:44:07.440 --> 02:44:13.639
who haven't seen it is how long
is? It's like four hours long?

1883
02:44:13.959 --> 02:44:18.639
Three and a half I believe and
a half hours long. And you feel

1884
02:44:18.639 --> 02:44:20.000
it, you feel how long it
is. But that's part of the point.

1885
02:44:20.440 --> 02:44:24.319
Yeah, because it's a it's a
day in the life kind of kind

1886
02:44:24.360 --> 02:44:31.280
of film, and and it very
much examines the Onwii of of life and

1887
02:44:31.280 --> 02:44:39.440
everything. Number one, right,
that's that's a that's a student. They're

1888
02:44:39.440 --> 02:44:48.799
making a statement. A statement is
being made because Verdigo and Tokyo story Insisten

1889
02:44:48.879 --> 02:44:52.559
came. They've been jockeying for number
one for the past couple of decades,

1890
02:44:54.319 --> 02:45:00.479
and I don't know, I I
like that everybody's all up and it's like

1891
02:45:00.559 --> 02:45:07.120
that's probably the most it's like the
most excitement that's been generated around this film

1892
02:45:07.159 --> 02:45:11.399
in a one time. Well and
Dealman was number like thirty five or thirty

1893
02:45:11.440 --> 02:45:16.000
seven on the last list, so
it's a pretty big jump for a film

1894
02:45:16.079 --> 02:45:20.479
like that. Well, you know, the Ackerman passed away kind of tragically,

1895
02:45:22.520 --> 02:45:26.879
and I think that's brought some reassessment. Well, it's just brought some

1896
02:45:26.959 --> 02:45:33.399
attention to her films that you know. I mean, she's always held a

1897
02:45:33.479 --> 02:45:39.200
place. I mean, Criterion puts
out all over stuff and she's she's well

1898
02:45:39.639 --> 02:45:45.280
well known, but maybe not as
well seen. I think more people have

1899
02:45:45.360 --> 02:45:50.559
been reassessing her films in these past
couple of years. So this is the

1900
02:45:50.600 --> 02:45:56.079
consensus for one, six and thirty
nine voters. Okay, But on the

1901
02:45:56.120 --> 02:46:00.920
other side, we also have let
me scroll quick clear to the top here,

1902
02:46:01.120 --> 02:46:07.079
we also have the director's list to
look at. Since ninety two,

1903
02:46:07.120 --> 02:46:11.920
Site and Sound has complemented its critics
poll by formally sounding out the world's leading

1904
02:46:11.000 --> 02:46:15.079
directors on the ten films they believe
to be the greatest of all time.

1905
02:46:15.559 --> 02:46:20.319
And this year, the fourth edition
of this poll, they had ballots from

1906
02:46:20.559 --> 02:46:26.120
four hundred and eighty directors. Now, according to them, this is a

1907
02:46:26.239 --> 02:46:31.239
very different list. We've got some
intrig dising choices on here as well.

1908
02:46:33.040 --> 02:46:39.680
You'll see a lot of the same
films, but a lot of different Parasite

1909
02:46:39.719 --> 02:46:48.159
showing up again at number ninety three. Well, Verdiana, Verydiana video.

1910
02:46:50.120 --> 02:46:58.319
Excited to see Eternal Sunshine of the
Spotless Mind on this one. Blue Velvet

1911
02:46:58.360 --> 02:47:05.559
from David Lynch showing up pretty well. There you've got some Sergei Parajanov with

1912
02:47:05.680 --> 02:47:13.959
the color of pomegranates I'm seeing.
Yeah, there's a lot of overlap though

1913
02:47:20.280 --> 02:47:26.959
sometimes it's same directors but different films
like Persona made it on the on the

1914
02:47:26.079 --> 02:47:37.200
for Bergman, Yeah, seventh Steel
and Fanny and Alexander and I see him

1915
02:47:33.879 --> 02:47:41.159
a little more Kubrick Once upon a
Time in the West. It leaps up

1916
02:47:41.159 --> 02:47:48.120
into the top fifty. Jaws on
the director's list that was directed by the

1917
02:47:48.120 --> 02:47:58.159
producer Eraserhead going up to number fifty
three on the director's list. Yeah,

1918
02:47:58.200 --> 02:48:07.239
there's some uh, I was excited
to see. Don't look now on this

1919
02:48:07.280 --> 02:48:11.360
list. Oh, Personas actually is
on this list, but it's up higher.

1920
02:48:11.479 --> 02:48:13.719
Oh, I'm scrolling on a different
screen. I should look at the

1921
02:48:13.719 --> 02:48:20.719
one you're scrolling. It's fine.
Yeah, this is this. This list

1922
02:48:20.760 --> 02:48:22.920
is probably closer to the one that
I come up with. I'm also noticing

1923
02:48:22.959 --> 02:48:33.280
that some of the non Western directors
and some of the non male directors are

1924
02:48:33.319 --> 02:48:37.600
getting cut out here. I was
shocked. Come and See is not on

1925
02:48:37.719 --> 02:48:41.879
the top one hundred list at all. Yeah, still got Night of the

1926
02:48:41.959 --> 02:48:50.440
Hunters. Good with that Ventura Lestrada. There's a lot of Antonio Antonii is

1927
02:48:52.000 --> 02:48:58.639
a director for directors to watch.
I don't think popular audiences enjoy them as

1928
02:48:58.719 --> 02:49:05.239
much. Godfather Part two showing up
on this list, not on the other

1929
02:49:05.360 --> 02:49:09.159
one, with Raping Bull on this
list and not on the other one.

1930
02:49:13.840 --> 02:49:22.440
Bicycle Names is such a beautiful movie. Yeah, so the order changes,

1931
02:49:22.520 --> 02:49:28.600
but most of the most of the
films are still the same. Superson in

1932
02:49:28.639 --> 02:49:39.399
their close eye Geneeleman is still in
top five? Should I say two thousand

1933
02:49:39.440 --> 02:49:48.079
and one? Oh my goodness,
greatest movie of all time according to four

1934
02:49:48.159 --> 02:49:54.440
hundred and eighty directors. Yeah,
well this this top five. Well,

1935
02:49:54.479 --> 02:49:56.559
first of all, it's not really
different from the other Right, what was

1936
02:49:56.600 --> 02:50:03.520
the Godfather was the only film wasn't
in the top five of the they had

1937
02:50:03.840 --> 02:50:07.840
Vertigo and in The Mood for Love
instead of two thousand and one in The

1938
02:50:07.879 --> 02:50:16.760
Godfather. I wouldn't argue with either
of those top fives. Really. I

1939
02:50:16.920 --> 02:50:20.719
do think it makes a statement to
have Gene Dealman it was number one,

1940
02:50:22.520 --> 02:50:28.760
but I'm not surprised that the director's
poll did not make that statement, right,

1941
02:50:33.399 --> 02:50:37.799
right, I'm finding less equival with
this list than than with with others,

1942
02:50:39.840 --> 02:50:43.680
you know, going back to the
recency bias. Yeah, you know

1943
02:50:45.760 --> 02:50:50.680
some of the some of these newer
films that appeared in this list might not

1944
02:50:50.840 --> 02:50:56.319
be in the next one, but
they might. Yeah. It's an interesting

1945
02:50:56.399 --> 02:51:01.280
list, interesting discussion point. But
the big thing I can't wait to see

1946
02:51:01.479 --> 02:51:07.600
these individual lists and see how we
got there, because there's always always some

1947
02:51:07.719 --> 02:51:11.479
interesting things that you will just plain
have never heard of on many of these

1948
02:51:11.559 --> 02:51:16.879
lists. Yeah, whenever these things
come out, I'm always most interested in

1949
02:51:16.239 --> 02:51:22.319
seeing titles that I have not seen
exactly on these. On both of these.

1950
02:51:22.559 --> 02:51:28.559
On Top one, there's only a
handful of films that I haven't seen,

1951
02:51:28.639 --> 02:51:33.319
and all of them I'm familiar with. So no big shocks, No

1952
02:51:33.520 --> 02:51:37.399
big shocks. Speaking of big shocks, I got one thing that I wanted

1953
02:51:37.479 --> 02:51:41.399
to share after all this tonight,
and that is something that we are both

1954
02:51:41.440 --> 02:51:48.040
involved in, and that is the
Shelf Shock rewind Awards. Oh perfect.

1955
02:51:48.120 --> 02:51:54.159
It was almost like a planned to
say the word shock. We have been

1956
02:51:54.440 --> 02:52:01.879
releasing a category of nominees every weekday
and I wanted to see what everybody thought

1957
02:52:01.040 --> 02:52:07.159
on these and discuss maybe some outlying
picks. The first one I want to

1958
02:52:07.239 --> 02:52:11.239
go through this video is the let
Me Mute that I know you can't hear

1959
02:52:11.319 --> 02:52:15.879
it, but I can. These
are the animated film nominations for this year,

1960
02:52:16.079 --> 02:52:18.399
and you're gonna be able to have
a write in if you don't agree

1961
02:52:18.399 --> 02:52:22.040
with any of these. So we
have Delta Space Mission from def Crocodile.

1962
02:52:22.600 --> 02:52:26.000
This is a really interesting animated film. They have like a sister film coming

1963
02:52:26.040 --> 02:52:30.799
from that one soon too. Heavy
Metal from Sony on four K this year,

1964
02:52:31.040 --> 02:52:35.360
great great release Sony's four k's this
year. Man look great. Marcel

1965
02:52:35.680 --> 02:52:39.719
the Shell with Shoes On from a
twenty four another killer four K release.

1966
02:52:41.040 --> 02:52:45.520
Then we got Turning Red from Disney, a film that is I just watched

1967
02:52:45.559 --> 02:52:50.159
it again this week. Great movie, really good animation, solid solid pick.

1968
02:52:50.680 --> 02:52:54.959
And then Wally from the Criterion Collection. Those are the five that were

1969
02:52:56.040 --> 02:53:01.639
nominated. How are you feeling about
that category? Well, three of the

1970
02:53:01.159 --> 02:53:07.319
five that I had on my list
made it so feel pretty good, good

1971
02:53:07.600 --> 02:53:15.159
good. I would be shocked if
one of them because I'm gonna be the

1972
02:53:15.200 --> 02:53:16.760
one that gets to see the vote
count. I'm gonna be shocked if I

1973
02:53:16.959 --> 02:53:20.000
couldn't guess the top two right now. So I'm curious to see whatever's going

1974
02:53:20.040 --> 02:53:26.760
to vote on next one. We
had the best comedy release of the year,

1975
02:53:28.200 --> 02:53:33.479
and this one is pretty good category
as well. So going for the

1976
02:53:33.559 --> 02:53:37.719
genre, We've got of course,
Arsenic and Old Lace from the Criterion Collection.

1977
02:53:37.319 --> 02:53:43.280
Loved, loved this disc. This
release is solid. Then we got

1978
02:53:43.799 --> 02:53:48.440
my favorite everything Everywhere All at Once
from A twenty four maybe one of my

1979
02:53:48.479 --> 02:53:52.360
favorite films of all time. Now
The Little Hours from gunpowdern Sky. This

1980
02:53:52.559 --> 02:53:56.280
is a great release. Loved this
movie when it first came out. It's

1981
02:53:56.280 --> 02:54:01.360
an interesting movie for sure. Then
one of the most jam packed discs from

1982
02:54:01.440 --> 02:54:05.959
Criteria this year, Pink Flamingos.
And then to round out the category,

1983
02:54:07.280 --> 02:54:11.719
Tropic Thunder the four K disc from
Keno. Now, the sad thing they

1984
02:54:11.799 --> 02:54:16.159
didn't add any new features to that
disc, but the film itself looks really

1985
02:54:16.239 --> 02:54:20.440
great on that four K well supervised
by Ben Stiller himself, it absolutely should

1986
02:54:20.440 --> 02:54:26.239
have been and he must have done
great work. Yeah, yeah, Stiller's

1987
02:54:26.239 --> 02:54:30.399
not a bad director. No,
he's underrated, I think. Yeah.

1988
02:54:30.840 --> 02:54:35.639
I think The Cable Guy remains an
absolute classic to me. And I thought

1989
02:54:35.719 --> 02:54:43.159
Tropic Thunder could have trimmed maybe ten
to fifteen minutes and been a little stronger,

1990
02:54:43.239 --> 02:54:48.920
but overall I thought it was really
good. You know, hey,

1991
02:54:52.719 --> 02:54:56.239
solid modern comedy. I think it's
one that absolutely should be in talks to

1992
02:54:56.319 --> 02:55:03.479
be like one of the best comedies
the last twenty years. Next category was

1993
02:55:03.600 --> 02:55:09.840
a best Modern studio release. So
the definition for this one was a release

1994
02:55:09.879 --> 02:55:11.760
for a film that was released in
twenty twenty one or twenty twenty two,

1995
02:55:11.879 --> 02:55:16.360
and the physical release came out in
twenty twenty two. So we have the

1996
02:55:16.479 --> 02:55:20.280
four K release of The Batman from
Warner Brothers, great looking four K.

1997
02:55:22.079 --> 02:55:26.440
We have the four K release of
Everything Everywhere, all at once, and

1998
02:55:28.079 --> 02:55:33.719
this is where it gets interesting.
The four K release of Nope from Universal.

1999
02:55:37.879 --> 02:55:43.920
The four K release of The Northman
from Universal, which again beautiful looking

2000
02:55:43.959 --> 02:55:46.760
film on four K. Even though
I didn't love the movie. But then

2001
02:55:48.079 --> 02:55:50.040
the one that I think a lot
of people are super attached to, Top

2002
02:55:50.120 --> 02:55:54.399
Gun Maverick the four K, Well, why are we shaking our head?

2003
02:55:56.600 --> 02:56:03.879
Damn fuck that shit. I I
genuinely cannot stand the first Top Gun and

2004
02:56:03.920 --> 02:56:11.000
I've still not watched this one.
You know, well, you know,

2005
02:56:11.120 --> 02:56:15.559
to talk about Tropic Thunder and then
talk about Top Gun, it's like,

2006
02:56:15.719 --> 02:56:18.799
what is Tropic Thunder? Making fun
of that? Tom Cruise obviously doesn't know.

2007
02:56:24.040 --> 02:56:31.079
I just yeah, yeah, Uh, A couple of these are gonna

2008
02:56:31.079 --> 02:56:33.559
be the same, So let's go
right into this one. This is best

2009
02:56:33.680 --> 02:56:37.840
audio presentation, and of course that's
what everybody talked about with Top Guns,

2010
02:56:37.879 --> 02:56:45.159
so you know that's gonna be one
of them. We have The Batman,

2011
02:56:45.319 --> 02:56:48.680
which I gotta admit, the sound
on this movie was pretty damn incredible.

2012
02:56:50.200 --> 02:56:56.200
Uh, the drive for KVE released
from Second Sight. Then we have,

2013
02:56:56.639 --> 02:57:01.920
of course Dune from Warner Brothers.
This was a big deal when that came

2014
02:57:01.959 --> 02:57:05.719
out. Let's sound on this one
is supposedly incredible if you've got that big

2015
02:57:05.920 --> 02:57:11.000
sound system. The last Waltz Criterion
Collection four K release, get some Scorsese

2016
02:57:11.159 --> 02:57:18.159
in there, and then Top Gun
Maverick. You guess which one of those

2017
02:57:18.680 --> 02:57:26.479
was in my Was it in my
list? I'm gonna guess the last Waltz.

2018
02:57:28.440 --> 02:57:37.840
You're correct. That shit sounds good. For anybody that hasn't, please

2019
02:57:37.879 --> 02:57:41.840
make sure you follow shelf shock Rewind
on all of the socials and on YouTube.

2020
02:57:41.600 --> 02:57:46.799
We are doing the rest of the
nominations until December fifteenth, which is

2021
02:57:48.079 --> 02:57:52.799
two weeks from today, where we
will start voting. Voting will be open

2022
02:57:52.879 --> 02:57:58.040
for the shelf Shock Rewind Awards from
December fifteenth all the way through January fifteenth,

2023
02:57:58.079 --> 02:58:01.159
in case you get your releases in
late, that gives you a chance

2024
02:58:01.399 --> 02:58:07.520
to catch up to them and vote
properly. But then February nineteenth, live

2025
02:58:09.239 --> 02:58:13.079
on multiple places, We're probably gonna
be streaming it here live on their own

2026
02:58:13.159 --> 02:58:16.040
channel, live on Facebook, Twitter, Twitch, as many places as we

2027
02:58:16.120 --> 02:58:20.040
can get as many people hanging out
and just talking about a great year of

2028
02:58:20.079 --> 02:58:26.520
physical media in twenty twenty two.
Yeah, it's been real fun to be

2029
02:58:26.559 --> 02:58:30.159
a part of all this, so
I hope more people are getting excited about

2030
02:58:30.200 --> 02:58:37.399
it. I am what a great
idea and to pull you know together so

2031
02:58:37.479 --> 02:58:48.159
many people from this this growing you
know, online community, to debate and

2032
02:58:48.319 --> 02:58:56.799
celebrate these releases. I hope I
hope that it. I hope that the

2033
02:58:58.040 --> 02:59:03.719
I hope that the many, especially
the boutique companies, benefit from it and

2034
02:59:03.799 --> 02:59:09.079
appreciate it, and that that it
kind of becomes part of their calculus as

2035
02:59:09.120 --> 02:59:15.680
well. It just seems like a
great idea and and much you know,

2036
02:59:16.040 --> 02:59:18.959
much more accessible than something like the
oscars. You know, we're not gonna

2037
02:59:22.639 --> 02:59:30.479
sit around being all hypocritical, acting
like we're acting like we're making political statements

2038
02:59:30.479 --> 02:59:35.559
while we take money from Disney and
Apple and Amazon. We might give money

2039
02:59:35.559 --> 02:59:41.520
to Disney, Apple and Amazon,
but that's different. We don't have a

2040
02:59:41.639 --> 02:59:50.000
choice. We're kind of stuck in
these in this economy. But yeah,

2041
02:59:50.520 --> 02:59:54.959
I got to tell you, so
I assume it's not a secret that I

2042
02:59:54.399 --> 02:59:58.760
got to You are fully allowed to
talk about it. Will Is on the

2043
03:00:00.200 --> 03:00:05.719
Creator Selection committee along with all right
around fifty other people. Well, I

2044
03:00:05.840 --> 03:00:16.799
did a terrible job. I struggled
so much. It was so hard to

2045
03:00:16.159 --> 03:00:20.840
choose. It was hard. I
mean, I was one of the two

2046
03:00:20.840 --> 03:00:24.600
people planned out the categories, and
I had multiple lists where I had to

2047
03:00:24.680 --> 03:00:30.440
sit and compare things. I re
listened to portions of like visual essays to

2048
03:00:30.520 --> 03:00:33.920
remember which ones were better. It
was not easy to decide for this list.

2049
03:00:35.000 --> 03:00:37.760
And there's so many releases this year
to go back on and discover and

2050
03:00:37.879 --> 03:00:46.000
love again and find so many things
just to revel it. It's such a

2051
03:00:46.239 --> 03:00:50.239
hard year for something like this.
Yeah, and you know, there were

2052
03:00:50.280 --> 03:00:56.879
some things that I snubbed purposely that
I know will not make it to the

2053
03:00:56.959 --> 03:01:01.319
final cut, the people that the
things that I want to snob will not

2054
03:01:01.399 --> 03:01:07.399
get snobbed, and uh and uh, it's it's funny kind of I'm contrasting

2055
03:01:07.680 --> 03:01:15.639
my experience with the nomination form with
the BFI lists, because you do,

2056
03:01:16.000 --> 03:01:24.280
like you start out making these really
personal, subjective uh selections, and then

2057
03:01:24.360 --> 03:01:28.639
you start to think, well,
you know, okay, maybe this isn't

2058
03:01:28.719 --> 03:01:31.799
a movie that I care about,
but what about the technical presentation or whatever.

2059
03:01:31.000 --> 03:01:39.840
Talk Gun by the way, Big
disc Energy says more like top gunk.

2060
03:01:39.239 --> 03:01:43.120
Yeah all right. But then but
then you look at your list.

2061
03:01:45.200 --> 03:01:46.879
Well I'm not saying that this happened
to me, but then you look at

2062
03:01:46.879 --> 03:01:52.360
your list, I'm like, there's
a white ass list right here, and

2063
03:01:52.680 --> 03:01:56.159
then really, okay, well,
what what else have I looked at this

2064
03:01:56.319 --> 03:02:01.280
year that I maybe didn't uh think
about my first you know, go around

2065
03:02:01.360 --> 03:02:07.959
and then then you start like,
uh yeah, working with a final point.

2066
03:02:09.639 --> 03:02:13.319
And this is the first time I've
ever done anything like this, and

2067
03:02:13.440 --> 03:02:18.000
so it was agonizing. And of
course I waited until the very last minute,

2068
03:02:18.760 --> 03:02:22.479
although I'm sure some people were late, way way late. Yeah,

2069
03:02:22.120 --> 03:02:26.760
I will point out I would never
do that to you, right, it

2070
03:02:26.879 --> 03:02:33.760
was on time. But but there
were there were like, I'm I'm glad

2071
03:02:35.399 --> 03:02:39.559
that it didn't like okay, so
I'll admit I did not write down what

2072
03:02:39.719 --> 03:02:43.639
I was nominated, just put all
of it. It was like cutting the

2073
03:02:43.719 --> 03:02:48.239
negative. Uh. And but I'm
glad in a sense that like it didn't

2074
03:02:48.280 --> 03:02:52.520
send me a list of my selections
because I've already forgotten half the ship that

2075
03:02:52.559 --> 03:02:56.239
I nominated. And as as you
were pulled up the categories, I oh,

2076
03:02:56.440 --> 03:03:01.040
yeah, I did not any doue. But I think that'll give me

2077
03:03:01.719 --> 03:03:07.559
a fresh experience when we get to
the next round of things. So what

2078
03:03:07.719 --> 03:03:11.559
a great idea. Kudos to you, Kudos to the Chasing Labels guys,

2079
03:03:11.680 --> 03:03:18.399
and I'm so glad so many people
have signed on to be involved. Yeah,

2080
03:03:18.559 --> 03:03:22.680
and for those that maybe weren't around
to hear the nominating process. We

2081
03:03:22.799 --> 03:03:30.799
had this group of fifty creators,
producers, people from labels, filmmakers and

2082
03:03:31.239 --> 03:03:37.840
critics, educators like yourself and countless
others to come along and be a part

2083
03:03:37.840 --> 03:03:43.280
of this Creator Selection Committee. That
they nominated up to five for each category,

2084
03:03:43.559 --> 03:03:46.360
and we did the exact same thing
to cite and sound basically the ones

2085
03:03:46.399 --> 03:03:48.440
that were on the most list.
They made the list of five nominees,

2086
03:03:48.559 --> 03:03:52.920
and everybody's gonna be able to vote
on those five nominees plus every question.

2087
03:03:54.040 --> 03:03:56.760
We'll also have a write in option. And the way we are going to

2088
03:03:56.920 --> 03:04:01.840
do the voting is the Creator Selection
Committee will also vote for their number one

2089
03:04:01.959 --> 03:04:07.760
choice in all of these categories,
while all of you in the community vote

2090
03:04:07.799 --> 03:04:11.360
on your number one choice in all
of these categories. And each of the

2091
03:04:11.479 --> 03:04:16.000
categories will have two winners, so
we can juxtapose what does the community see

2092
03:04:16.040 --> 03:04:18.799
as the winner versus what does the
Creator Selection Committee see, And that way,

2093
03:04:20.319 --> 03:04:22.239
everybody gets a seat at the table. It's something that we can include

2094
03:04:22.280 --> 03:04:26.120
everyone and not to say one is
better than the other. It's just interesting

2095
03:04:26.200 --> 03:04:33.639
to compare. And if you are
okay, I'll use this moment. I

2096
03:04:33.719 --> 03:04:37.200
wasn't gonna do this, but the
discord that I am in. If you

2097
03:04:37.239 --> 03:04:39.600
are part of my Patreon, I've
been sharing some of the behind the scenes

2098
03:04:39.600 --> 03:04:43.280
stuff, so if you are like
a stats nerd, after the whole thing

2099
03:04:43.399 --> 03:04:46.040
is over, we're gonna be diving
into some of the numbers. See how

2100
03:04:46.040 --> 03:04:50.319
many people voted for what? See
how many of these you know? See

2101
03:04:50.319 --> 03:04:54.559
if top gun lost by eight hundred
and fifty votes. We're gonna be talking

2102
03:04:54.559 --> 03:04:58.840
about stuff like that, So it'll
be it'll be really fun afterwards if you

2103
03:04:58.079 --> 03:05:01.280
like that sort of thing, and
I really do. I mean I work

2104
03:05:01.319 --> 03:05:05.200
as a data analyst every single day
of my life, so just to get

2105
03:05:05.239 --> 03:05:07.959
down to the minutia of it,
I can't wait to break these down and

2106
03:05:07.959 --> 03:05:11.559
see what people vote for. But
it's been a really interesting thing to see

2107
03:05:11.600 --> 03:05:13.479
behind the scenes, and I just
hope that it goes well and everybody enjoys

2108
03:05:13.520 --> 03:05:16.879
it because it's been fun. For
sure, I might have to do a

2109
03:05:16.879 --> 03:05:22.479
little ballot stuff. I can be
bribed. I'm just kidding, I will

2110
03:05:22.559 --> 03:05:28.360
not be. All that being said, I would like to thank my patrons,

2111
03:05:28.360 --> 03:05:33.200
and I really should update this because
I have not yet. We've had

2112
03:05:33.200 --> 03:05:35.680
a few signed up in the last
week. I will get this updated before

2113
03:05:35.719 --> 03:05:39.479
the next show. But thank you
to everybody that has been supporting this channel.

2114
03:05:39.520 --> 03:05:43.600
It's been incredible with all of you, and it's been a really interesting

2115
03:05:43.680 --> 03:05:46.239
few months because the channel's changed and
evolved and grown a little bit. And

2116
03:05:48.159 --> 03:05:50.399
just to see the guests that keep
wanting to come on, like yourself.

2117
03:05:50.440 --> 03:05:54.079
I don't know what's wrong with you, but maybe we'll figure it out someday.

2118
03:05:54.520 --> 03:05:58.879
Why you want to be here,
Thank you for spending so far a

2119
03:05:58.920 --> 03:06:01.399
little over three hours of you,
and thank you to everybody listening and watching

2120
03:06:01.520 --> 03:06:05.399
out there right now. It's it's
been a good time. Yeah. Now,

2121
03:06:05.639 --> 03:06:09.239
I know this one's not gonna go
the full six, but mark my

2122
03:06:09.399 --> 03:06:16.680
words, ladies and gentlemen out there
in the and the Internet, that new

2123
03:06:16.799 --> 03:06:22.479
record shall not stand. Will texted
me earlier said he's not going to break

2124
03:06:22.520 --> 03:06:26.360
the record tonight because he could not
get Amazon to ship him a bedpan fast

2125
03:06:26.440 --> 03:06:30.520
enough. I don't know exactly what
he's talking about, but maybe next time

2126
03:06:30.879 --> 03:06:33.559
we'll see everybody. Thank you for
hanging out tonight. It's been a really

2127
03:06:33.600 --> 03:06:37.040
fun night. I appreciate you,
but that's all we got. We'll see

2128
03:06:37.079 --> 03:06:41.360
you next Thursday, and until then, from two collectors to all of you,

2129
03:06:41.600 --> 03:06:41.120
have a good night.
