Hey, how are we doing? Everybody? We got Aaron Penn, the
man, the myth, the professor. He is here. How are we
doing? Aaron? I am well, I'm waking up. It's been a
long week. Aaron took a nap today, and I'm very jealous. I
really wanted to. I was stuck on a parent duty while my wife was
out having an MRI done, and I felt myself just really wanting to nod
off today. But this is the sort of thing that excites me. I'm
glad you're here. I'm glad we can discuss. I'm glad we got friends
here like Sardists and Flickering Wave dust in here. I hope everybody's having a
good night. We got we got a lot to go over. I mean,
this week was one of those full weeks. We got Arrow, we
got Screen Factory, We've got eleven different OCN partner labels, and it is
It's gonna be a good long conversation. What's going on, Jeff, Movies
by E and John and couches here? Has everything been? I've noticed that
a lot of the videos you've been putting out are a lot of the shorter
videos, and I certainly appreciate that. Uh me too. Actually, well,
the thing that I'm starting to realize is that as much as I love
doing my life streams and I do, I get tired. So when I
but the thing is, I thought, Okay, well I'm doing some shorter
videos. That's gonna make me less tired. Rah. No, it's just
I realized now I got to do more videos. But see how part of
the algorithm too. When you're on like Hope, the catch sure like people
for like a ten minute video as opposed to some people won't come in for
like for a long one. So sometimes that you know, that's good.
But I usually like to have things that I'm passionate about, and recently I
guess I've been passionate of it. So that's been Uh, that's been fun.
Well, speaking of things you've been passionate about. One of my pickups
for this week that I already showed my patrons. I usually only share pickups
with them, but I set one aside. I said, Aaron's gonna be
on the show. I got to share this one with him. I just
ordered something from the John Carpenter web store. It's only for him, and
I got in his science fiction comic and it is autographed by mister Carpenter and
the art here is is pretty dang good. I mean, who's the artist
in that one? Uh, let's see. Of course, there's like five
names on the front, and I'm not sure if they all are let me.
Pencils and inks by Andress Asparza. Colors by Sergio Martinez. Cover art
by Tim Bradstreet. Okay, yeah, nice little I am. I'm a
little out of the comic game because I've not been doing it as long or
not been doing it for a while. I used to do a lot more,
but I missed some of them. I think there's some really good stuff
out there, and I'm always glad to see you championing those. I love
it. Like this week, and by the way, guys, this Saturday
is the first Saturday in May, the first Slurday May. It's free comic
book like a day. It happens once a year, and local comic shops
are not much like if the physical menity are collecting, you know, so
it's a niche market. So if you can go in and like, grab
a couple of the free comics, and if you do, you know,
pick up a comic for a graphic novel or something. Yeah, because it's
you know, it's not a it's not an easy thing to do. And
if you're doing that in this day and age, if you're a video store,
if you're a comic book shop in this day and age, it's more
than likely a labor of love. You're not breaking the bank on it.
So I definitely reckon I have a comic star for you really quick. So
uh like as you know, like because you know, packing up stuff and
whatever, like money's been kind of tight. Yeah, so uh there's I
had a site for omymboussuses. By the way, guys of these big oversized
like collectible editions comics, but they can be very expensive. So I had
this site. I used to go to it all the time and these have
like used and like kind of cheap ones stuff like that. And I'm like,
okay, perfect. I found the House of Secret. So I'm too
so greade one this mystery anthology. If you like like the horror stuff,
you're going to like this. I'm so excited And I'm like, okay,
so I can wait because it's one of the sites not not a lot of
people go to. And that same day, this guy comes on in my
onbus Facebook page, and I hate him. He's my nemesis, right,
and he's like, hey, guys, look at this site for onabuses and
I'm like, you mother, so so needless to say, I don't have
the bones to get it at the time, so so I don't worry.
I guess, you know, people go for the popular stuff to just stuff
that nobody's going to go for that, right, So it goes. This
week comes up and people have kind of forgotten it, and I see a
bunch of stuff pop up, some Batman stuff comes up, and uh,
doomtrol original Arnold Drake's big set, really nice, nice price. Wait on
the oymous page. Hey, guys, guess what classes it over there?
Like if you find a good deal, it's nice to let people know sometimes,
but don't don't be that guy. Don't don't be a debag. I
was like, you know, I sent this picture to my mom actually of
a guy punching like a Kirby Bell. I feel like this is exactly what
has happened with Orbit, because they were kind of a really good kept secret
for a while, and now everybody is scouring them and a lot of the
good deals are gone very hate when that happens, like you get those like
kind of under that like, oh this is a nice one. This is
what I can go to. And the thing is like, if you live
in a grade area where you can buy like going to a shop and get
movies, or you can go to a comic store and get like big additions
and stuff like that, you're super lucky, right. But with some of
us that don't live in those areas. So this is our this is our
go to. This is what we got exactly. And but when you put
it out there on blast, then any then everybody's got it. And it's
not the person that lives in the small community like I do that's getting it.
It's the person that's buying them and flipping them or or buying them and
can't afford to get the special edition. So yeah, screw that, dude.
So that's why that's why I'm gonna check you out with a few more.
Mike says, is this where the real people are? Mike, You're
here, so now it is Sardis. His last film watched was Las Sirga
by William Vega, a Colombian film interesting and Hilton says happy. Cinco de
Mayo. Now that I have kids, I forgot it as Cinco to Mayo
completely. Hopefully everybody is celebrating out there. Let's see. Antoine's here.
What's going on? John says, my uncle has amazing Fantasy fifteen. Siri,
Yep, it's in maybe good condition at best, but still if you
know why this one is important? Oh my god, I'm the biggest Spider
Man fan the world, sow Anton. Yeah, it's going on buy for
h Let's see. I think Maximus says he is here evening everybody. Christopher
Silvestris here from Facebook. I decided to try to stream live on Facebook and
Twitter at the same time tonight, so we're trying that for the first time.
Glad he's here and Brian's here, so we got a lot going on.
But Aaron has a fun pickup to share. You want to You wanna
share about that box set I got too, but I'll show us from first.
Sure, first time I got something in a while, and I'm excited.
So my good friend George over In from over in the UK sent me
this for my birthday. My birthday is in mag thirty first, but you
preordered it and uh, this is the species set that just came in from
eight eight films The Gorgeous Man, and uh, inside of this, by
the way, there's there's still four films. There's lobby cards, there's a
post double side of poster. There's a booklet that I can't show because of
New Deitay because it's Species. But it's great and the cool thing is I'm
from Newfoundland. My accent should probably give that away. And uh the lead
actress in the first two films is a Natasha Anstridge who grew up and she's
showed me for Lane as well. Nice, so that was super cool.
The other thing I picked up, well, the one thing I got the
accent was and uh so excited to get this. Speaking of Shastko, Asian
movie enthusiasts is here. What's going on? Eric and Lisa and Warlock says,
I have to grab that Species box set. I've only heard great things
about it, so I yeah, everybody, if you're interested. Obviously we're
gonna be talking about Species tonight as one of the announcements, but it's an
it's an interesting time because we don't know if the rest are going to get
another release, and some of those other things are at a print in the
US, So if you're interested, I'd grab it. Oh yeah, And
like the thing is it even though it's it's locked, it seems to be
locked. The one thing important thing to tell you guys is this go Reagion
free. It'll change the weight collect absolutely absolutely. And speaking of going region
free, how about we go into some announcements. Ooh, so, first
one that we got last week? On Friday, eighty eight Films posted this
picture of a classification certificate that they got for House on the Edge of the
Park and they announced that they are going to be releasing the uncut version on
four K soon. What do you think on House on the Edge of the
Park was this is a favorite of mine. I think out of the movies
that were put out by with David Hess and the David hes plays a sleazy
kind of bad guy role. Yep, I'm gonna be I'm gonna give you
hot take care. No, this is better than the one you're gonna say.
This is the best of them. Yeah, I truly think that this
has one of the This is one that really really got to me when I
saw it, and I don't mean like in a bad way. It was
a really good, really well done film. The actually the girl at the
beginning that he assaults. I guess the best way to publish that's his wife,
his way to be, that's I think the Mountain the set. But
he doesn't like to talk. He didn't like to talk about it. And
I actually got to uh speak to him a few times before he passed on
a face without He was a really really nice guy. His musicians as a
musician as well, just some music for some films too. But you actually
directed a Christmas horror film as well that I've got my collection. But this
one here, guys, I love this. I'm a huge like house on
Edge of the Park fan. It's a good one. I'm like, don't
go to print before I can afford to get it, Neil, what's going
on? Glad you're here with us tonight? Couch wanted to bring up Species
two. Just watched it recently, so many grizzly kills and for those that
have never seen any of the Species movies, they are they're sexy movies and
they are well done. This is one of those franchises that they do get
a little cheesier, but it's worth it to watch all four. I think,
Oh definitely, I mean, like, I'll be honest with you,
there's a there's a slight dip in quality and I think three but four kind
of comes back up and it's like it's like wreck in that sense for me.
Yeah, but even like I'm not as good as the first one or
two species, it's still a fun watch. There's a lot to get out
of those. After eighty eight Films announced that we started getting some Arrow announcements,
and the first one that we have posted here is Yallo Essentials Volume three,
the Black Edition, and this is featuring Smile Before Death, The Weapon,
The Hour, The Motive, and the Killer Reserved nine Seats. Aaron,
you and I have talked about Yallo a lot, So what do you
think about this one. It's a great set. I'm excited about. This
is the first two sets where kind of just we're regurgitations of stuff that was
already put out, but we're great for people that didn't have them. The
Killer Reserve of nine Seats is probably the most famous one of these three gallows
if you watch Yallo. The other two I think I've seen what I'm kind
of curious about, at least I'm not sure if it' seeing one of them
so that's I don't think i've seen either. Oh see, if you can
find Jalla that you haven't seen, that is such a good thing because and
this is the cool thing. They released two of these sets before that were
all re releases. These are three new Jala movies, two Arrow. In
fact, I don't even know if one of these might have had a Blu
Ray release before. I'm not sure, but I don't think any of them
did. No, I may be wrong, may have gotten nine I got
like a nine got a DVD release, but I don't think and I mean
like a cheaper DVD release, like come on of those right set? Things?
Uh, Jeff was saying, was the Vinegar Syndrome Edition four K He's
asked about us at the Edge of the Park. They did not put that
out. Severn did, and Severn's was only Blu Ray. So no,
this would potentially be a big upgrade. But also we haven't seen an eighty
eight Films four K in hand yet, so we're not real sure on how
their quality is going to be. I'm assuming pretty good. They're they're usually
pretty good about picture quality. Oh yeah, like they've been like they've gotten
way way better over the years. From from the start of Ada films of
course, like as every company does, because what they do now is some
of the stuff they post just exactly and even you know, the the Jackie
Chan stuff that really started to take off for them, the Shaw Brothers stuff.
It all looks great. It's all pretty well done nowadays. So go
ahead. Ken said that The Killer reserved at a camera obscura Bluey release.
You know, Oh, I'll be honest with you. Where can't I never
see Canterra obscure anywhere? And I don't want any almost because like I don't
know the company that well they're from where they're from, like Germany or somewhere
over there. Yeah, I'm not even sure on that. I don't think
I have any either. What's going on? They're glad to hear. Uh.
This set, by the way, is gonna have brand new two K
restorations from the ocen for Smile Before Death and the Weapon the Hour of the
Motive. It's got a two K restoration from the ocen of the Killer reserve
nine seats. Why was that separated? I wonder if that is is?
Oh, the first two are brand new restorations, so that must be exactly
what it is the Killer Reserve nine seats has the same restoration as that previous
Blu Ray release probably, And then we got a new audio commentary with Troy
Howarth and Nathaniel Thompson. Always exciting. And let's see, we got some
interviews audio commentary on the second disc from Alexander Heller Nicholss, which is on
all kinds of releases lately. And then Ellinger she's from up there? Is
that what we said? Well, Alexander Heller Nicholss is getting like her commentaries
are going are getting around. She's really good. Actually, I'll create try
Holworth, who's I got a few books of Actually here excellent stuff with Nathania
Thompson and Cat Ellinger is like a legend. Yeah, this is the best
collection of commentary performers basically that we could ask for in a box set like
this. And I want to take get better if we were doing it,
man, I wish, Yeah, that'd be nice. We got some video
interviews with actors. Overall, this seems like just a really great release.
And if you don't have either of the yellow box sets that came before this,
it's an interesting set because it's a hard box and it's got a little
slip cover on it, and it's going to house all three at once.
They're nice. I mean they're they're fairly high quality. Arrow for me puts
it the best quality box sets like by n Not the most interesting box sets
I think are put up by Indicator because they just such a wide range.
Yeah, eight eight Films does the best, and then it comes to like
more mainstream type box sets. That's eight eight Films like kind of niche.
But Arrow over fire and large puts out the best box sets that you can
you can imagine, Like I thought it was the Criterion when they put it
like the Bergmann set, and I'm like, oh my god, Criterion is
going to do a bunch of these Bergmann style sets. No just for Bergman,
I guess so, But like Arrow, like release after release, the
Gamera set, the Demision Set, the Herschel Gordon Lewis sets that they put
out, and they put it up two so said her If you can believe
that, right, that was an odd one because they had a limited,
another limited, and then a standard released years later, so that that box
set has been milked to death. It's such a good sign. Do you
have it? I literally just got rid of my last version of that this
last week, so I, yeah, look you for that. Well,
they're all really good stuff in there. It's it's a great release. I
just don't see myself watching them again. And I had somebody that was dying
to have it, and I still had the shocking Gore set, so oh
wow, yeah, yeah, just sent that one away. But I went
to a good home, so there you all right. It did another collector
and got a good deal and he's going to be very happy. Then we
got the second announcement, which this one is genuinely really intriguing for me,
coming on July nineteenth. The Righteous from twenty twenty one, and the synopsis
on this which really pulled me in a little that a former priest, Frederick
Mason, anguished by the tragic death of his young daughter, finds himself wrestling
with his religious convictions when a mysterious young man appears wounded on his doorstep in
need of assistance. After he and his wife ethel Will become welcome him across
the threshold and into their household, Frederick sees an opportunity for redemption in this
mysterious and troubled lost soul who might just be an emissary from God or maybe
the devil. What do you think of this treaty? I mean have not
seen this movie, so this one is new. I love the cover my
God covers. Course. Yeah, it's really well done. It's one of
those that I pick up. And another time, if this was a couple
of years ago, like most of the stuff that you're gonna mention right now
from Arrow, they would have been I'll be preordered, yeah, like without
without even blinking, like yeah, this one right here, I probably would
have got, like on the next erro sale type thing, even if it
was non sale, just to get the Arrow pints. Order from Arrow gup.
By the way, guys, you get Arrow pints, which is really
good and it adds up. Unfortunately, sometimes the sale items don't get them.
You don't get the points on which kind of sucks. But who's asking
this one? Who you know this is? It's a lot of smaller names.
It's Henry's Henry Zerni is in it. Mark O'Brien, Mimi Kusick and
uh, let's see the writer, director and actor is Mark O'Brien. Who's
in it. It is just one of the indie horror that they've been putting
out like they did. Uh, they've done the two from that family.
What is the title of that one? The Deeper you dig that family.
They've put out one or two from them. It's basically just indie modern contemporary
horror that they're putting out, which is good. I mean, they need
a place to go. I'm I'm absolutely fine with that actor. I almost
worked them once actually on a on a mini series that I super him when
I was too young. I turned it down and yeah, back in the
acting. Nice guys, but uh, incredible actor, an amazing actor,
and every and everything he does, he's just and I guess a lot of
people, you guys from horror probably gonna know him from that recent horror film
that was done with what's her name? We know where they're chasing her around
the house because they got this game company. Basically, they got a company
of games and they she picks the card of oh is that ready or not?
Yeah, So he's the he's the he's the dad in that interesting.
He was in a mini series, a really good one called The Boys of
Saint Vincent's and was shot in Saint John's New Flat and it was about the
uh, well, the there's a Catholic scandal. Uh that happened, and
uh he was with one of the one of the priests in that he's an
amazing job. It seems like a very similar title for him. Then well
not that is such a good priests and that one right, Ragnar says,
I miss Arrow releasing the window boxes that they did. Those were those were
nice. I love the window box. I would like to see them come
back and like in of a in a special edition for a while they did
when they after they stopped doing them. Yeah, every once in a while
they do like a special window dish, win a box edition. I think
the last one might have been like zombie flash Eaters, but I would love
to see it come back, like just to do what everyone a long time
ago to that's the long time ago. But it was a good one man.
I love the win of boxes. I got a few of them.
I got a few, I got one DVD Wind the box. Now I've
got a company of v window boxes and a few bluery window boxes and some
from the Arrow Academy where they had kind of a black case as opposed to
the white price for the other ones. You were talking about Arrow making great
box sets. Warlocks says Imprint do very well with their box sets as well,
definitely in competition for the top. The only thing I will say about
Imprint, and to be honest, like vinegar syndrome kind of falls pray for
this too. I happen to have a box set that I know you have,
and I think I'm the one that talked you into this because we talked
about it at the sale. I've got primetime Panic and this thing is literally
a car hardboard box only made to house three discs three cases on the inside.
And to be frank, this probably didn't need three different cases. We
could have had like an extended slip box type of thing from one of their
regular slipped releases and got everything in there. I like that they have their
own cases, for sure, But the other side of me is I'm running
out of space, and with Imprint, like the Collaboration set, it takes
up the space of like ten Blu rays because it's got eight different cases on
the inside plus a book. I used to fall prior to this. Early
on the initial release of russ Meyer's Box that came out was literally like seventeen
DVDs, But when they redid it. They did like this this book,
and it was you know, was silly. Each had its own like thing,
but exactly something else just fell. But the re release, yeah,
that release that was great and actually had an extra movie as well. It's
all trays for individual movies. But uh yeah, yeah, I print is
a bit pricey. I'm gonna be honest. Out of all the companies that
are out there, I have, I wanted to get some, but they
always follow outside my price range because they are you know, they're the most
expensive company I think going right now, like out of the boutique labels,
if I was to think of I can't think of a company it's more expensive
them. And I mean that includes criteria. I'm not sure about the Canadian
the transfer rate there, but I know for a fact in the US that
is not true. The way that the conversion works. If you if you
price out just a single limited release from them, each one after the conversion
comes out to about twenty five US dollars, which compared to other stuff,
that's that's pretty damn good. The only real problem is shipping starts at about
twenty US dollars, so you've got to take that into consideration too, right,
and when it comes to that and shopping, not necessarily because you can
order it from orbit and you absorb some of their shipping prices, but it
only raises the cost to thirty dollars apiece. But you have I also have
to there's people watching this from all over the world right right, and I'm
Canadian, so for me, like, shipping is exponentially more expensive and you're
gonna get nailed when it comes past the border too every time. Like I
worked a couple of the companies, one of them is in Australia. I
worked in all well, I did working bet a bit, and when I
get stuff come from them, I'll say, well, you get free.
No, I don't get any free monies because I pay them and I can
hit quite hard and quite heavy with shipping. Right now, anything that comes
from Australia gets I'm guessing Warlock probably does too, because he's also Canadian,
gets hit with the with the shipping from anywhere there. I understand and agree.
Yeah, that's that's the hard part about all this is certain things can
be relative for one place, but man, it's skyrockets depending on where you
are. And I'm going to Morocco, where I'm literally gonna have to fly
to another country to buy movies and put in my suitcase simming back. So
that's more expensive, right, Yeah, that's gonna get pretty bad. The
next arrow title is Hell High, and they announced two different slip covers for
this. This is This is one of those situations where I know about you.
I prefer the standard slip for this. This is uh, this is
the standard slip with these five characters on the front. And then this is
the limited edition slip, which I believe is the original poster art for this
both. Yeah, this is under the Raging Fury title. That's why this
one is a little bit different. Like I'm not a huge slip type person.
I want to know what's under yes, because if say, for instance,
this regular one is underneath it, then I'll get the limited edition because
it's different artwork. Like I'm not a slip cover type of guy, like
I like him when the art's different. So it's gonna matter what's inside the
slip. So if this art is on the inside as well, then I
want the other edition. But if that edition there is the limit editions is
exclusive and there's no artwork on the inside, then yeah, get the limited
But if it all depends on what's inside. If this is anything like the
past, this art will be on the inside, but also on the flip.
They will have another hell High art, but the what is it raging
fury? That art is probably exclusive just to that slip and is not on
the inside. That's what I'm thinking. I'm they'll probably use do you know
the old kind of cheesy hell High one with the with the teenagers, and
that's probably the one they're using. It's not a good like one, but
there you go, but it exists Hell Highs from eighty nine and if you
don't know it, it's this is one that if if you're into a lot
of the eighties four you're probably gonna want this one. It's got breaking bads
Christopher Cousins in it, and this is one that a lot of people have
been waiting a long time for. This has a new two K restoration from
the OCN. It's got a new audio commentary with the director, producer,
co writer, archival commentary with that same person. But the big one for
me archival introduction and commentary with Joe Bob Briggs. I love when they were
able to license those. Yeah, so Joe Bob did a series of commentaries,
right, like, there's three or four of them for this company.
Hell, Hobb is one of them. The neat thing about it for this
release, and I'm going to guess is that this is probably going to be
uncut and the release of was on DVD, isn't I know because I own
it, so yeah, but definitely an exciting one for me, like this
yellow set, this one here, I know that eventually, like whether I
get to get the Lemon edition cover or not, both of those are things
that are going to be in my collection. I actually really liked this film.
Some people found it a bit dry, but I didn't. Actually I
kind of dug it. Yeah, I agree, I don't think it's very
dry. I think this is a good one and an underlooked one. Two
which is which is really good to see. Well, it's been kind of
hard to watch. I mean even that that, I feel like that DVD
went out of print fairly quickly. I found mine at a at a second
hand place that had a handful of DVDs in the back by some tires.
That's that's my hell. And when Vinegar Centram did their announcements and did the
Horror High whatever it was announcement. I thought it was this movie and got
extremely excited. Then weirdly, this movie then actually gets announced. We get
a double douse. Actually, I'm like, well, actually is coming out?
Best of both worlds? Yeah? Uh, Mike asks what is Orbit?
I again? I talked about Orbit, Grindhouse, and Diabolic a lot
because they are three of the retailers in the US. Orbit DVD is the
website orbitdvd dot com and you can go there. They have a three free
coupon code where if you buy three items you get free shipping, and they
get pretty much everything. The only difference compared to like Grindhouse and Diebolic is
they don't do pre orders. But I did a whole video with Mark from
Orbit God probably about two months ago. Now I'd go back and watch that.
He's a wealth of Knowledge. That was a good video. I watched
that one thanks. Is that shipping free in Canada? He actually answered that
in the video and said that internationally it is not free. He is he
is looking at a way to say if you if you purchase a minimum amount,
then it will be free. Okay, that's not bad. I mean
like big companies right now, Keno used to have a free shipping option.
Now the you don't, and I understand it because the company that I work
for as well, our shipping is still free by it. It's a big
company, but it's it's got a lot more expensive when it comes to comes
to shipping costs for right across the board. Right now, everything's more expense
right now, man. Yeah, And it seems like for a lot of
places they lagged behind the US Postal Service raising their prices, so it was
really expensive for the US to send out, but for a while it was
still on the cheap side to send in. So everybody was getting a little
miffed that they were still getting charged a whole lot of money. But it's
crazy. I mean, I had to send something up by you fairly recently,
and I feel like it was it was about three pounds, but it
was like small. It was just like two little box sets, and it
ended up costing me like forty dollars to ship just those two items. Yeah,
and it's crazy. Next Arrow announcement is the big one for the month.
We are finally getting Dario Argento's TENEBRAE in four K. This is the
limited edition box set with all of the good stuff that comes with it.
This is a I mean they're both limited edition, but this is the non
site exclusive version and then they have the site exclusive version with the original art
on here, and I mean they're both just strikingly beautiful. These are going
to be UK exclusives. You can only purchase these in the UK. However,
Orbit DVD will probably get some of these in Diabolic will not be carrying
them, and you'll find out why when I show the next announcement or a
couple announcements later, because we're getting a US release of this, just like
we did with their last Argento Tennabray. How do you how do you rank
that in all of the Argento titles. It's the best I've met. I've
gone like I've gone a record many times. Tennebray is my favorite Argenal film.
Now I'm older, so I watched a few of these are general films
in the in theater. Now some of the early ones was I wasn't on
to watch them, but they I lived. I lived in there where there's
a small theater and it would like show these releases. So I got to
see Deep Red, I got see Tennebray on a big screen. That's all.
This for me has the best soundtrack of any of our Geno's films,
and so much so that I've actually I bought it. It's on my iTunes
and I listened to it all the times when I'm working on videos and stuff
like that, or I'm just kind of relaxed, and so I know,
I love the soundtrack to this. This is a great film. This one
almost actually almost got taken at a commission. There's a very beautiful girl at
the beginning of the film that we see get killed. When you think of
like beautiful Italian actress, this is like the picture of what's in everybody's mind.
So she gets like kind of chopped off type thing the window. Anyway,
So she was the wife a famous politician over there, and he tried
to get the movie taken out of commission. So this movie almost never never
made it like to fork even a blue rye with you. But it's a
great title. It's when you're watching the guys know that at the time that
he made this that this movie is meant to be not like sci fi but
slightly like five minutes into the future. And it's you can see with the
the way that he shoots that everything is meant to be kind of look type
of sterile and and just different and unique and angular and sharp, really angler
and sharp. And it's a theme throughout the entire movie. And our general
does tend to like, you know, artistically themous films, and this one
especially so, because if you're watching this for the first time and you get
to the end of it, like remember that I said this is clean,
like sharp and angular, and you'll get why it's really really good. I
know your favorite, you said before we got near his opera, right,
yeah, this is my and that's the good thing. It's it's Argento and
he's not a tour literally, And a lot of these people are gonna have
different favorites because a lot of these depends on what you watched it, memories
you have associated with it, maybe it brought up some sort of emotion the
first time you watched it. But Tenebray is my number four from Margento,
and that's number four. It's not putting it low. It's not saying it's
a bad film in order just for fun, I go Opera. I love
that movie. I love the visuals in that movie. Stylistically, it just
hits me My number two is Deep Red. I love Deep Red. I'm
so glad that we got that four K three. I'm kind of a mainstream
guy here. I guess Suspiria. I adore Suspiria. So Tena Bray gets
my number four. I think that the fact that we have three of these
now, of those top four on four K, is amazing. I'm just
crossing my fingers for somebody to do opera, And to be honest, I'm
curious what you think. Do you think Aero is going to be able to
do Inferno? I hope so. I would love to say them doing for
I love to see them get the rights to I know a lot of people
are really big on it, but mother tears uh because I'd like to see
them. I'll get done eventually. I'm for cam through Uh through Arrow.
Opera is one of his greats. I find like I love Deep Bread.
I think it's one of one of the best Jallos. But I also I
think it's a Friday the thirteenth, part four of Giallo films, and that
it takes all the stuff before it and puts it in there and it says,
okay, this is all the hits we're playing all the hits and it's
not a bad thing. It's great thing, great speaking the great soundtracks,
deep red like yeah for me, I think, uh, Opera is his
last truly great one. But uh wait, wait a minute, when's the
Stein document before after Opera? Uh? Because that one is I feel like
Stendall might have came out two years after Opera, because if that's the case,
then that is because that is stunning. It is good, and I'm
almost surprised lit Underground hasn't released that yet. It's a matter of time,
it's a matter of well, if they still have rights. I guess we
don't really know. Sure. No, Like somebody mentioned, I think Warlock
Sleepless, and I like Sleepless, so I think Sleepless is underrated. I
think it gets a little iffy on CAIRD player, which is okay, but
it's a bit pedestrian for Argento and the only one that's out and out not
the greatest, but I still want to love it is Extract the three D
because oh my god, shirt playing manthis on them. I love that you
say that as you're wearing a three D shirt. That was perfect. Stendall
came out way later than I remember that came out in ninety six. Opera
was eighty seven, so Stendall was very late. Opera is the first one
I bought like because of the uncut ones. Because there's a company at the
time called Video Search Miami, and you could spend twenty five dollars American and
they would send you a VHS of an uncut version. Sometimes it would come
out like pretty copy. Copy copy is what seemed like, right, And
Opera was the very first one that I bought for bitter Search fammy, So
I was super excited and I watched it over and over again until the tape
broke. Actually right, well, we're gonna talk about Tenebray again in just
a second. So we got one more Arrow release to go over, and
of course I have to do that once a week and comment on it.
We are getting on July nineteenth, The Sacred Spirit. This is from twenty
twenty one. Now, this one, it seems kind of interesting to me.
But one thing I wanted to point out James I think it was James
James Flower, or it might have been Fran. On Twitter, somebody tweeted
it Arrow, did you see this about the art? No, they tweeted
that This art is almost identical to a cover art that was released through Criterion
years ago, and he said, Oh my gosh, I'm so embarrassed.
We had no idea about this other art, and they may be switching this
out for a different at least the slipcover art, so that might be something
to watch out for. It's like Circle two years Vinegar center, right,
Yeah, I kind of remember those, So this way is go ahead.
I haven't seen it. I'll be honest with you, I haven't seen this
one when I saw the artwork that was Tarkowski. But what's the plot in
this one? This is from twenty twenty one, so it's another one that's
a fairly new release. A missing girl, a community in shock. Jose
Manuel lives a quiet life. He works in his modest tapas bar, takes
care of his elderly mother, and attends weekly meetings of the Ovni Levante,
a group of devoted UFO enthusiasts who gather after hours at the office of a
local estate agent to exchange information about extraterrestrial messages and alien abductions. When their
leader dies unexpectedly, only Jose is left to know the cosmic secret that could
alter the future of humanity and only Jose knows what he must do. And
just reading all of that, I know immediately Sartus is putting this on his
pre order list because he loves everything sci fi. This has Beyond the Eye
of Horace, a visual essay about the use of servi valence and Egyptology,
and that is again by Alexander Heller. Nicholas Pyramid Scheme another visual essay,
and that is on class and capitalism. There's an interview with the writer director,
series of six location reports about the making of the film, promotional videos,
uncut TV clips, but then something really cool here. For the limited
edition, this is an exclusive second disc domestic sci Fi, the short films
of Keema Garcia Ebara, and that includes the attack of the robots from Nebula
five that seven minutes, proto Particles which is eight minutes, Mystery is twelve
minutes, and then they still call it a short film, but Urines or
Uranus for fifty nine minutes, The Disco Shines that's twelve minutes, and then
the Golden Legends that's eleven minutes. That's a lot of stuff on one of
these releases. It's insane. I'm gonna say, like, the movie sounds
interesting, but the feature so even more interesting, especially anything in Egyptology.
I'm there. I love this stuff. I still watched the last episod of
Moenight, but love in the head out of that. Man, I'm a
huge fan of them. Yeah, there's a lot of stuff. I still
haven't seen any of Moonnight. I really need to. I've only the only
Marvel series I've watched is WandaVision. Still still for me, that's probably the
top I guess maybe the top of my feet from it's pretty damn well made.
Back to Tenebrae. This is the US release of Tenebray that we were
getting, and just like a couple of the previous Arrow and Synapse joint releases,
they are getting basically identical releases. There's no difference in special features.
The box is the only thing that's different here, and the fact that the
Blu rays that are in here will be Region A instead of Region B and
they haven't announced it. I'm not sure in the last one, but I
wouldn't be surprised if they were actually region free because they're working together on it.
Yeah, for the I love to cover this one. This is my
favorite cover because well, I I already have the original cover a few times
a few times, but this makes me want to get it again. To
be honest. One thing here, guys, if you've only got the er
edition, you only god like a previous, previous edition or older edition.
This one here, I'm pretty sure still has the documentary and the documentary Yellow
Fever from the Tent of Break it initially came out for the Blu Ray release.
The Steel Book that they did is one of the best documentaries on Jattle
that I've seen, Like, it's one of the unless I've seen. I've
seen a few, but this is probably my favorite. I go back to
this one over and over again. Yeah. So, but guys, please
have watched a few jettle's before you watch this documentary because it gives away so
many endings. So I'm just glad they got that on the Arrow released too.
Is that on the release too? Literally, they're identical features because the
last time that was, you know that was that was the one difference correct,
and is an extra interview on the air release. So I ended up
like getting the Errow release of Blu Ray because I got the Steel Book from
from on my viewers actually years back and uh, it was a good time
too. He was gone like on a business trip for work, and it
came in that day and I sat down and I watched that Steel Book the
movie, and I was all the features over then entire weekend. But yeah,
I know this is this is a great release. Guys. If you
don't have tennorbody you know, please pick this up. It is a really
good film. Even if he even if he ranks number four four, it's
pretty high and like it's at the top five of Argenta's real for me,
like it's it's up, it's number one, and I say, for from
my top five, it's going to be this one, right, this is
number one. Number two is probably deep Red because you know, as much
as I say, you know, it's it's pretty mainstream. I kind of
love it. Yeah, I don't know. Spears number three, Bird of
Crystal Plums Free number five, that's such a good so is it number five?
Yeah, that's a good release. Then it's going to be probably opera
and uh Suspiri. Nice. Ah, that's the title, that's right.
Antoine says. The cover that they were essentially copying with that release is The
World on a Wire from Fostpender. It looks nearly identical. So yeah,
this is the Tenebray release and synapps Arrow doesn't matter who if you're interested,
grab one of them. Their identical releases, three disc releases. They are
fantastic. The girl in that picture is the one that's actually the uh the
boy for the politician right there. Uh. Then we got an announcement from
Keino, so we're done with Arrow and Synapse and all that. We got
a Sydney Potier double feature. They call me mister Tibbs and the organization from
seventy and seventy one and these are obviously the sequels to In the Heat of
the Night and they let's see, I think one or both of these were
in the In the Heat of the Night four K release. I should have
looked that up beforehand. I apologize, but yeah, this is what do
you think about Sidney Patty. I'm sure you love him, Iji, I'm
a huge fan. I actually like these films. Of course, everybody loves
in the Heath to Night and most of us had to do in school,
well, at least when I was growing up, we had to do In
the Heat the Night in ings class. But yeah, these were fun,
especially when a fender of these existed in the days of HS because I did
not know. I remember going to a store and seeing the coming mister Tips.
I'm like, wait a minute, let's name the character from Heath to
Night right, and I think it was like growing. Two weeks later I
saw the organization there and I picked up because it's Poeltier and I didn't realize
that it was a sequel until I turned it on. I am trying to
look up as we speak on that In the Heat of the Night because that
just got released and a lot of people are getting that. So the special
features on the end The Heat of the Night it says, let's see the
dis two blu ray. It includes they call me mister Tibbs and the organization.
So if you have that four K release, you do not need this
double feature. But this is for the people that had the old release of
In the Heat of the Night and if you wanted to complete it. So
that's good to know. I like the double features. They do pretty good
stuff. Don't expect a ton of extras or anything on this, but this
is coming July nineteenth. Kin is not exactly known for their extras, but
some good stuff I kind of think they are nowadays they pretty much put a
commentary on basically everything. I think that that pretty much stopped being the case
about twenty nineteen. See, I like to a certain extent. I mean
like they're still not known. Like if you're gonna like name some of the
topic like it's you're gonna think Aero, You're gonna think indicator, like Keno
you and say, oh yes, they do good commentaries, but there's like
features, little features. The best ones for me are the TV stuff when
they put it in the TV stuff, that's that's where they give us,
like theater limits, the night galleries, that's where we get all these.
And we got an announcement for one of those this week, so I'm sure
we'll dive into that. But this, uh yeah, with these, I
guess the reason I feel to give them a little benefit of the doubt is
literally, before like twenty nineteen, they had almost no features on pretty much
all of their releases. So even to give everything a commentary now is a
big step up. But the big thing is they release so many titles.
I kind of understand that it's nearly impossible to go out on all of these.
It's true. When I think of the best features, I'm not thinking
of any Kenot title at all, But they do so many. They're at
least in the game now. They used to not be even a part of
the conversation. Yeah, if you're about a Keyno release back in the day
you bought it, you either about it because you want a good, solid
film because that was there, especially back then, or you want to get
western Yeah, exactly when the early stuffs they have they put out a movie
on DVD back I think there's a blurry like we're probably gonna be talking about
it. An eighties action film with Martin Cove. That is the most Eighties
thing I've ever seen your entire a freaking life. And that one was last
week, I believe. But Steal Justice, Yeah, yeah, guys,
if you don't have Steal Justice, get Steal Justice. And I'm going to
tell you why right now, really quickly, because Steel Justice literally starts out
and I'm sure you got this one man with Martin Cove going in to rescue
these these people, and the bad guy that they're trying to get has taken
a rat and put like a grenade on the back of the rat. It
is so cheesy good and there's a music video literally in the middle of this
film, and there's a girl that's supposed, I'm guessing, is supposed to
be like that they're taken care of, Like that's supposed to be kind of
almost like the I guess the younger girl, but she seems older and I'm
like, is she gonna be like their their kid or they're gonna have a
threesome because it's just such a weird movie, but I love it. You
gotta own and steal justice, You gotta have your question. And it's Martin
Cove, who is huge right now because of all of his work with the
Karate Kid franchise and everything that's come from that, because I mean, Netflix
is seemingly raking in the money with everything that they're doing to promote all of
their their stuff, and he's going to comp conventions and everything, and he
recorded a new commentary for it. He is fantastic. Cove has been underrated
for years. Man and us the gross older people that grew up with like
Cove and got to see him when he did that TV series where he's an
alien and there's a big like orb going around that it did last time for
my money, though. The best rat scene is in Vinegar Syndrome's Death Promise.
Did you watch that one? I got? I think I got it,
but I'm gonna watch it. There is a there is a rat scene
with a pillowcase, and it's it's pretty good. No grenade, that's true,
there's no Martin Cove. I just really love Death Promise. Make Flix
is having an overstock sale. If you are into that sort of thing.
This is over now, so never mind. I just noticed the date Marty
is coming from Keena Lober. This is from nineteen fifty five with Ernest Morganine.
As you see on the cover here, this is getting one of their
new wannabe fancy slip covers. And this has a new audio commentary by entertainment
journalists authors Brian Reaesman and Max every And it's got two different aspect ratios of
the film with a trailer. But that's it. Nothing else, no interviews,
nothing like that. But I mean it makes sense. It's from nineteen
fifty five. A lot of those people are gone, unfortunately, Ernest Borganine.
What do you think of Ernest borgnine? I'll Vernsborgane. Actually, this
is a really good film. I know it's not gonna be for everybody like
it's it's a drama, but I remember seeing it back in the day.
I think I got this one on a set of like MGM put it out
with a set of like three or four like different discs with different like Academy
Award winning films. They did this one and twelve Angerman and I've done another
one as well, so I have an upgrade to blow around this one yet.
And I'll probably wait a bit because I just recently got the DVD.
But it is a really good film. Good. I have not seen this
one. I love erness Borg nine. He's hilarious. This is certainly what
I'm interested in. We've got a lot of keynot announcements this week. They're
putting on a lot of classics that I know nothing about. So if you
know anything, please, by all means jump in. This one is Love
Letters from nineteen forty five with Jennifer Jones and Joseph Cotton. This is directed
by William Dieterley. Anything on this one. I don't remember this one very
well actually, I mean he's just just Cotton fan. Like one of my
favorite movies is you know, probably know it's like is South Chitchcock's shout it
Out and we know with Joseph Cotton and his uncle Charlie, right, and
uh so from there on and then of course, god, he's he's been
in so many good films either like a few Southern Gothics later on and his
life that I really really like. But Jennifer Jones, Joseph Cotton, I'd
buy this. I'd probably buy this as a sale title. I probablyouldn't be
first, but that's just me. If you're into like the older classic films,
you know, definitely to go for. But for me, it's more
of like when Keno has one of their many, many many sales and this
is one of those ones. We don't know a date yet, they just
announced because they put out so many they pretty much announced a title every single
day. So yeah, this is This will probably be somewhere around like September
October ish if I was guessing, Yeah, like they put it. I
get nervous when they put it so many titles when any company said that many
titles, because Screen Factories Factory did that for a while and it got to
the point where it was just a deluge the titles and you couldn't keep Nobody
could keep up unless you, you know, unless you're the monotony guy then.
But but yeah, I always say, you know, I like to
get a lot of titles, but not too too many at one time,
because I worry about one them over extending themselves and to like quality control.
But they've been pretty good so far. I haven't heard ever heard of any
like you tell me if I'm wrong, though, any really bad quality when
it comes to any KNO releases. We've got a couple pieces of I don't
even know if the right way to complain about this. I guess, like
the the bring me the head of Alfredo Garcia, they were given the wrong
master to put on the disc. It was the old restoration instead of the
newer one, and so they sent out the disc and what where they really
messed up is everybody said, whoa, this looks like the old version.
This doesn't look great. Unfortunately, immediately Keino said, no, this is
the right one. This is exactly what we meant to do. Eventually they
owned up to their mistake and they sent out replacement discs. But that's not
really the right way to respond to these. QUNO hasn't been the best when
it comes to responses, like to be honest about it, but honestly,
if people are complaining, but bring the head of a Fredi Garcia, why
did you not buy the Aero release that had that like seven hour long documentary
on the director, because that's the one to well if I remember, I
don't know if the documentary is on there, but it is that restoration at
least, and I feel like the documentary was on there, but the Aero
version was region blocked, and this was the first region A release with a
good restoration on that. Okay, go reagion for you guys, exactly exactly.
Speaking of all of Keno's releases, let's talk about the tenth install in
fil Noir the Dark Side of Cinema. This is their noir line. This
is the tenth. This is the most recent one they've announced, but they
have indicated I can't remember ever if the number is twelve or fifteen that they
said they're for sure gonna have And this one includes Flesh and Fury from nineteen
fifty two with Tony Curtis, The Square Jungle from nineteen fifty five, also
with Tony Curtis, and then World in My Corner from nineteen six, sorry,
nineteen fifty six with Audie Murphy and Barbara Rush any of those that you've
seen, Yeah, that I remember that well right now. No, I
here's the thing. Anything with Tony Curtis on it or Audie Murphy, you
get Audie Murphy. Is when people think of like Addie Murph's a big western
like western guy, but you know, I did other things. So when
you think of like people like John Wayne and you're like, well, I
want to watch that John Wayne movie, but I want to watch the movie
a good western movie, John Wayne's style, but with the decent person starring,
you watch Addie Murphy instead, because he's he's he's better and he actually
went to went to He's a war hero. There's a whole there's a whole
movie done on it called I can't Remember Hell something Hell. But Addie Murphy
again a real war hero and he did it. Wasn't it. They're making
war promotional films, but he didn't go to war like mister John WAYN what
takes it? I guys, uh, this is great. I mean I
love the film WIR series. I'm a huge film Wire fan. I think
with a lot of it, like after a point you're you know, you're
just getting as as film noir as you can get, or like this is
KNDA noire or this is are you know what I mean. Uh, they
did the same thing with like when MGM putted the gangster sets and stuff like
that near the end in the film noire sets, it was like this,
this is more comedy than there. But okay, so yeah, I enjoy
these. And now the first one on oh was that last week I got
announced? No, this was that was like three or four weeks ago because
the release the first one, yep, and you could see the date here.
Actually the re release of the first box set is coming on June twenty
eighth, and as of today you can get all the way up through number
six. The seventh one is coming on June seventh, and the eighth one
is coming on July nineteenth. The ninth one is coming in September. So
this is the tenth one. I'm betting we will not get this till maybe
early November. I'd say for sure. I love the cover on this.
On other ways, yeah, I will say this right now. The first
one, by the way, guys has five films, and all the rest
of them have three eight. He went to three after after that, which
you know, which is a reason we had ten right now. Uh,
but yeah, it's I think these are good releases. They look nice.
I wish they'd upgrade their h maybe they already have. You you can tell
me they're boxes because the ones that you use have are more like the Flames
are ones. They're very flimsy. But uh, yeah, because I got
some really, because you got some really great stuff they do. They do
those like star centric sides, which I love. Yeah, but the box
sets are like, yeah, they're pretty weak. This is the perfect time
to remind everybody that Keino if you get them directly from Keno, which a
lot of people are going to places like Orbit and Diabolic and even Amazon for
those. But if you're in the US, Keino is the way to go
on these because they are always cheaper from Keno direct, and if you spend
fifty bucks, it's free shipping. So the first is the volume one of
Film Noir, The Dark Side of Cinema. It's five films and it's thirty
dollars. It's twenty nine to ninety nine if you order direct from Keno,
So getting two of them is already free shipping or you can. I mean
most of their big title releases are like sixteen seventeen dollars the day they are
released. So it is always better for Keino to buy direct from Keno one.
Yeah, unless them in Canada. They don't give you free shipping anymore.
It used to be like fifty dollars free shipping in the United States,
one hundred dollars free shipping in Canada. But that's not too bad. Well,
but it's not anymore, right, not anymore? Yeah, just no.
When it was, like, my better halfs was a huge fan of
this company, so anytime that he had a sale on and that free shipping
was on, she would buy. And she wouldn't go in buy one hundred
dollars. She would go in to buy at least two hundred, two hundred
fifty dollars worth. Keeno talks, but as soon as you put the shipping
on, she has not but one sense because she's like, oh, if
there's one on Amazon that I really want, I'll get it or where or
say write Sunrise Records, which is far drive, but uh they yeah,
not everything's available in Canada. That's a good thing to mention there, walck
So there's releases that Keno put out that are locked into into certain territories.
There are a couple like Jackie Collins, The Bitch and the stud that started
John Collins. Those you cannot get here in Canada. The Pit is another
one that she can can't get here in Canada if you try to punch it
into your cart at automatley a stop ship. Yeah, if you want one
of those, you got to go to one of the third party retailers.
But by that point now you're spending like forty dollars for one title. Yeah.
I have a friend in the US and some of them. Yeah,
that's true. They wanted to let you know that the title you were thinking
of is to Helen Back. Yeah, that's the one. See, my
grandfather has passed away now. That was Addie Murphy. It was his and
my dad's actually favorite Western star, one of his favorite actors, and to
Helen Back is one that I know that they both watched and loved. So
it's I remember when the announced to Helen Back on Blu ray As after my
my pops had passed, and I was I wish she was there because I
really wanted to get it for him to have it, but yes, thanks
guys. There's also the whole not everything is available in Canada. That's kind
of true for a lot of these labels. I mean Second Site. Famously
they couldn't send the Dawn of the Dead to the US. Even Arrow they
put out the Guiver in Canada, but they couldn't send that to the US.
So a lot of those things again go region free and pay attention to
importing things. There's there's always a way around that. Arrow UK as far
as I know, doesn't even if it's you can still buy whether you live
in America or Canada. You can still buy them from the website at the
moment. I mean, any any rights holder could put a limitation on that.
Yeah, but I've never said like normally yeah, but I think Keno's
one that's really been strict about it. I guess when it comes out of
all the companies that I that I've bought from, that's true. Okay,
let's get into some of these partner labels. And the first one here is
I mean this is Taylor made to have Aaron Prin on my show for this,
so from Canadian International Pictures, which so far incredible work they are giving
us Buster Keaton Rides Again and Helicopter Canada from nineteen sixty five and sixty six.
This is the front of the slip and this is the back. How
about some some feelings on Canadian International pictures, Aaron, I love cana International
pictures. I want to see coming down, Yeah, I want to see
coming down the road. I want I want to want to see the routing.
Man, I want to see them putt with those. But these are
really good releases. So this one specifically, I you know, I do
know so Buster Kayton. This is I think about a year before he passed,
he he came up and did rail Roder, which is as a short
film run like in twenty twenty four minutes long. I think, you know,
one of those kind of old classic shorts that he used to do.
Yeah, and the documentary this is incredible. So if you haven't seen it,
it's really really good. What's even for me almost even better is I
love these these travelog things, these snapshot ones and the helicopter one is it's
very it's cool. And if you've ever watched the One World of Disney or
have you ever gotten a nam Gym release and you've seen you know, the
tips to guys, tips to golfing. And it's really kind of like a
jokey type of thing with the narrator. Uh, the helicopter one is didn't
like that. It's you see beautiful scenery and fantastic like sites from across Canada.
But he's very tongue in cheek with when he's talking about it's very Canadian
humor too. You'll uh, but it's really good. This is a great
release. Uh. There's a bunch of features on her, a bunch of
like short films, A real roder is on this release, so you're not
just gonna get a documentary about You're actually gonna get to see the finished project
product as well. And one of the neat things that I noticed and I
when I was, uh, when I was watching the trailer for this,
because we did it on my patren, was that a lot of people said,
you know, Buster Keaton for god that did Silent Movies, had an
amazing vice and that is so cool because not everybody can go like from silent
and and kind of make it, but he he definitely could have. Though
he did tend to play even in like the surfer films that he did play
kind of almost like a soilent type character, but incredible, like he was
a genius. This is a fantastic release. I really think some must have
and again like yeah, we're not Going Down the Road. I want that
one please like see uh if if anybody knows the guys behind this, Going
down the Road and The Roady Man are two releases that desperately need, like
uh, great, you know, great releases. The Roady Man's got stars
Gordon Pinson. It was his passion product he made, He wrote the book.
Uh, he did the film for it. He actually stayed at my
grandmother's while he was making the film and it was uh yeah, I had
the book with his an autograph. I lost it over the years, but
and he actually you know, he was nominated for an Oscar So great.
Great, but this is a great release, like by Fire and Large,
this is one of the ones. There's a lot of really good ones there.
This excited me. This excited me right away. This's got my Canadian
heart, like all the you know, maple syrup going through my veins and
all that type of stuff. So yeah, this is a great one.
Good. Yeah, there is so much here, tons of short films.
Uh. The first disc for the Buster Keaton Rides Again. It says this
disc includes the rail Roder and six other shorts by the director and uh and
the Buster Keaton Rides Again co star Gerald Potterton. So there's just tons of
stuff on here. And there's a bonus short on the second disc that's eight
minutes long with a booklet and everything. Great release. Fun City Additions is
putting out the Coca Cola Kid. And there are so many people excited about
this title. That's great. What's going on? Glad you're here tonight,
DAG Films, Hey do ma Co Cola Kids? So you've seen this one?
Oh god, yes it's Astralian man. I love Astralian cinema. Yeah,
this is this is this is early Eric Roberts, early Greta has pronounced
Sashi saki h sashi. Yeah, I never remember how to say his last
name. Like like, she's she's really she's gorgeous and she's great in this.
Uh. This is a really good film. It'scot that kind of the
quirky Australian like humor, but it plays really well. And uh, this
was an extremely popular movie where I lived at This was an amazing rental.
Uh, like it was rented all the time, and so I had to
like fight to get this one at my rentals story this was but it was.
I love this movie and I'm so glad to see if fund Seed Editions
are doing it, because there's not a movie that fund Seed Editions has put
out that has not that you don't need in your collection. They he just
has, you know, he's got his fingers on the pulse the stuff that's
needed. Prime Time Panic right there, guys, the sales coming up.
If you don't have Prime Time Panic in your box, in your in your
library right now, get it because it's really they got. Which one's that
one? More? Vern Kolar Dylan Ramsey title, I just happen to have
fun City ready to go here one of my favorite partner labels the from Veninger
Syndrome and this is this is another fantastic release and had no idea it was
coming, but I'm extreme excited this one. Yeah, this is a really
good title. This is a Yeah, there's a lot in this and I
think that this is going to be one of the ones that kind of catches
fire when people start to watch it that never got a chance to before.
Up next, this is a huge one. So from AGFA, we are
getting their first sort of box set, which is the films of Doris Doris
Wishman, the Twilight Years, and this is getting Deadly Weapons, Double Agent
seventy three, The Immoral three, The Amazing Transplant, Transplant, Let Me
Dye a Woman, key Holes Are for Peeping, and Love Toy. We
talked about this on your Patriots stream a lot, but uh, why'd you
share about how excited you are about this one? I am, I'm Doris
Wishman. You got it. This is one of those directors that you got
experience. Her early stuff, especially was was done differently. I guess.
Uh, sound wasn't a big thing, so she'd be shooting from the back,
people's says. But the big thing here are the chesty Morgan films.
Now, there has been been a controversy, Uh that's popped up over over
this release. Did you see that? Yeah, there is one title that
is missing a little bit of footage that was in the Something Weird DVD release
and from what we have heard, they just can't get the content to put
it in. Yeah, it's a run seven men's footage actually, so it
is. It is quite a bit and it is some significant stuff. But
honestly, like it's one title out of out of all these titles, and
it's still like a good It's a truncated version, but still you know the
best version that can get you. You can't play magpond that one. This
is the first of three from Doris Wishmen that they're putting out. That is
correct. And Ragman wants you to explain what kind of films are they.
There's no like one like type of film for doors Wishman. There's no one
type of film for al Adamson. If somebody said, hey, what's al
Adamson? Put out a ton of stuff and like in different genres? What
is Doors wish a ton of stuff in different genres. Chessie Morgan was one
that she worked with on at least a couple of films, Chessa Morgan.
Her name is Chessia Morgan because she was owned for at the time having the
largest natural breasts in the world. So Agent double in seventy three seventy three
is there for a reason. Those are super cheesy, kind of like spy
films. She's got like a camera in her breast and like a bomb,
like it's it's insane but they're very cool and they're very fun. So I'm
not quite sure what I recommend door Swishmen for everybody. I don't know.
I mean like, it's not it's this is not a mainstream type. If
I said I get Primetime panic, Yeah, I recommend that for everybody.
There's stuff on those and that said that everybody is going to enjoy. I
I love door Swishman stuff, but much like Andy Milligan, Uh, your
mileage will vary on this. I do think this is going to sell extremely
well. I do too, and for me, I the ones I remember
the most right now out of all these, aside from the Chessea Morgan,
is probably the Moral Three. And I'm pretty sure at the time AGVA put
the original one out on DVD that there were three of them put on the
side. Actually was was the Deadly Weapons, Special Agent was a double A
seventy three, and the Moral Three. I think those are put on the
like put together. But the other ones are are definitely interesting ones, but
for everybody, uh not. Now, Master Chaos did get to work with
her on one of her on the very last films, if not her last
film before she passed away, So if they released that hopefully you'll get to
see him or hear him on And he did reach out to agg for this,
so I'm curious to see if they let him on. Well I hope
so, I mean because if they're putting that thumb out and they don't,
h because you're not gonna have a lot of people that are still around that
I are looking at the stud you know, the working with that stuff.
So yeah, get him in there. They're anti, they're not like would
you say they're what would you say, like, because you've seen doors Schwatsman,
Right, Yeah, I've seen Let's see, I need to look at
the list again. I've seen Double Agent seventy three. I think I've seen
Deadly Weapons. I feel like I've seen key holes are for peeping. A
lot of these they sort of start to blend together for me. The way
they describe a few of these are very interesting too. For from Deadly Weapons
and Double Agent seventy three, they call him Crime Epics starring the iconic chesty
Morgan and then Let Me Die a Woman, which I have not seen.
I know that for a fact, is a semi documentary about the transgender about
transgender people, which I'm real curious because that is for that time. That's
very progressive to be able to make something like that exactly that one I had.
That's one of the ones I have seen. I'm trying to remember.
I don't remember Love Time. I think I have, And that's like I
don't think. I wouldn't say it's I wouldn't say it's like Milligan, but
I wouldn't say I'd say, if you didn't like Milligan, it's you're probably
not gonna this probably not gonna be a jam either. Yeah, it's very
I mean, it's very low budget in the grindhousey type feeling, at least
on a lot of these. And not not that AGFA is only put out
bad titles, because I don't think that's the case, but I do think
that these are a step above most of the AGGA titles. It's Lady street
Fighter still the Sterling. I love the frag out of that film, man.
I watched it so many times that I love Gary Tails and uh the
McPherson tape is great, and uh oh the Thecaullywood said. I still think
that might be my favorite. I don't have that on yet. I do
love their uh they put it the later Edward Films yep, and I like,
snap those up and it was a baser video and I'm I don't,
I don't regret it. So they put it volunt years and they put it
like some of his later stuff as well, which was really really cool.
So that was good. I liked some stuff to do. This is I
yeah again, this is gonna it's gonna be polarizing a bit. A lot
of people are gonna buy this because Dors Swischman is a name that they've heard
more than a person that they've seen. Correct, So the good thing is,
like, how much just does this one cast? Uh? In US?
It is right now? Fifty dollars okay, i'surarning like sixty nine seventy
dollars something like that Cannian. So no, like, I'm not sure if
any of these are on any of the stream services. Gonna check something out,
but if you want to go on blind you can. But I'm not
quite sure if this is Do you think this is a blind by? I
don't. I think that I would find at least one title and give it
a few minutes or let me see is there If they have a trailer,
it might be worth Yeah, they have they have a full trailer up for
this one, so honestly, that might be enough if you if you dig
the style that it's portraying there, it might be enough for a blind by
after that point, because for a lot of these old films like that,
you can tell if it's something that will at least intrigue you, where maybe
it won't be your favorite movie ever, but you'll get something out of watching
it at the very least. I feel that the like and I'm just so
biased that the Chessia Morgan ones are probably going to be the most crowd pleasing,
just for the cheesiness and not just like the needy, but just the
cheesiness of them. Flickering Wave says, if you have Criterion Channel, some
of Doris Wishman's earlier work is on there. Yeah, and her early work
is some of her uniquest work. Have you seen her early stuff? I
don't think so. Yeah. And you know them when you say them,
because a lot of the early stuff it's like, you know, there's a
guy sitting at the counter in one and he's talking, but so when he
talks, you see the back of his head. You don't seem like his
face talking and there's a girl behind the counter. When she talks, you
see it from an angle where you don't see her, so afterwards, right,
gotta be dubbed all right. The next one up for the partner labels
is Game of Survival. This is from Culture Shock Releasing, which I've liked
pretty much everything from so far, and I also I was following them before
they were a partner label. But a lot of people are very down on
this title, like Master Chaos hated it. He saw it at one of
the events and U. Yeah, this is one that it is labeled as.
Uh oh, they don't have it here, okay, uh this snapsus
says seven criminals, prisoners, and slaves are sent down to Earth to hunt
for the ball and hunt each other for it. The all powerful creatures who
rule the galaxy watch these games of survival for sport. The winner of the
games will be granted their freedom. Which of these seven deadly men will secure
the ball and survive until noon? I don't remember had you seen this one?
I don't think you had, right, I didn't think I did,
but after I saw the trailer, I think I might have. Oh wow,
So this the style of this here is exactly watch the trailer. It's
exactly what you're what you're gonna need to say for something like this. I
don't get what people are down on the stub because this there's it's not like
it's it's not saying what it is, it's exactly what it is. The
trailers shows you exactly the type of film, yeah, that you're that you're
getting And if you like that style of film, this is I'll tell you
right now. This is a million times above TC three thousand, which is
a release that's on on a more as on a VSA release for Crying Out
Love, like a premium liked one, and that's I'm not sure about you,
but TC three thousand is it was one of the lesser releases for probably
the as far as I've seen, the less the lessest release from Vinegas in
America, and that's one that has doctor titles touching the death on it.
But you know, it's it's fun, It's it's it's a it's a fun
little title. Watch the trailer. The trailer looks decent for you. Check
it out. This looks like none of those dystopian type films. Don on
Laura Budget and Culture Shock Releasing certainly has a style. A lot of the
stuff they put out is cheesy eighties fun. Essentially, it's the type of
film that you watch with the crowd, you know, five or six people
at your house and just have a good time. It's the brand I mean,
like this is this is a movie that you turn put on exactly.
You got a bunch of people there, you're having whatever altering thing you're having,
if you're eat or you're having your are you having like a drink?
Then uh, this is a fun one to watch. And that's just kind
of what I used to do with my cousin back in the day with the
VHS. I is, we'd get movies and we'd like rift the hell of
them. This is way before mister came uh so yeah when mister science theater
camera, Like, I've been doing this for years. I you mean,
I could have made money, could have made it could have been a millionaire.
That's there. But uh, it's it's it's it's good for what.
Next one up is possibly the most exciting one for me, which is odd
because I'm not a fantasy person. Uh def, Crocodile is putting out the
first of their Russian fantasy films that they alluded to earlier this year, and
this is called I'm probably gonna butcher this but Ilia murrah Metz and in the
US this was butchered and released as The Sword and the Dragon. This slip
art is incredible looking overall, but the trailer for this if if you really
want to see something that excites you, this has a really great trailer on
the Vinegar Syndrome site. And one of the things that astonished me is that
this film had almost one hundred thousand extras. That is just bonkers. That
that is crazy that they're able to pull that together. It looks gorgeous.
I like, just after Mystery mentioned Mystery Science later, this is my This
was my introduction to this film because mister Schoon Theater did do this one.
I think one of the later seasons. I'm interested for the for the presentations.
Say what's going to be This is a Russian fantasy film, right,
yep? I expect this to be long? Is it long? Uh?
I actually that's on this page. Let me see. No, it's only
ninety one minutes. Oh really? Okay? Yeah, because I kind of
when I usually see some of these, there's a lot of kind of like
drawn outs sequences right that you you gotta have. It's like when you watch
them but in definitely here's a weird one. But when you watch them,
Franco and you watch like three or four Franklins and then you kind of get
into like the band Okay, oh I don't expect right well, this one
right here, it's like, this is not frank After we've watched like three
or four of these Stall films. It's got a certain like stall to it
that, uh that that you come to expect. And I think this is
gonna be a quality quality release. It's not quite up there with Canadian international
pitches one for me, but uh, I do. I do think that
this is one that like Centi Files are going to really really dig and they
have others coming. There are more Russian fantasy films coming later this year and
def Crocodile just coming in and taking things by storm. I mean when I
watched this, I felt like when I was fascinated with the last fifteen minutes
of the that Severn and Eureka put out. Not not that it's cheesy or
feels like a play necessarily, but it has that a lot of those same
sensibilities where you can tell they they were probably very low budget, but they
gave it they're all and pulled off some things that should not be possible.
I mean, the dragon of this film, just in the trailer looks way
better than it should, especially for the time it was done till oh my
god, yeah this is from nineteen fifty six. It is amazing what they
were able to pull off. And the dragon shooting fireballs that genuinely looks like
a dragon shooting fireballs. It's amazing. It looks gorgeous. This is gonna
be like a wake up for people who have seen the other version. I
think it's much like Tanner Bray, like YEAP, which for most the sides
unsane for years with a really truncated, shortened version, and then when you
finally got say Tanner Bery's like, oh my god, saying was okay.
But this is amazing, right, This is an exciting one. And this
was filmed in CinemaScope, so it looks incredible. Next up, this one
kind of surprised me. The trailer really sold me on this one. Inspector
Ike is coming from Factory twenty five. This is a twenty twenty film.
Even though this cover kind of makes it look like something for like nineteen seventy
eight. Here is the back of the slip and it says, Inspector Ike
starts right about now. The synopsis on this one, Inspector Ike, New
York City's greatest police detective, finds himself in a high stakes game of cat
and mouse after the conniving understudy of an avant garde theater group knocks off the
star actor a lost TV movie from the nineteen seventies, not really, inspector
Ike mixes visual gag, slapstick, gross food, and heartfelt emotion. I
think Colombo meets the Naked Gun, featuring a rogues gallery of NYC's best comedians,
and it's true. I mean, like, I'm a big fan of
John Early. He's in this and it looks hilarious. This is a twenty
twenty film, and it feels like that essence from something from the seventies.
It looks fantastic, it's gorgeous, it looks incredible. As a guy that
grew up watching this stuff from like it's a great parody of the NBC Mystery
Movie with the Quinn Martin production, It's very much like the kind of like
making fun of the columboist type stuff. I don't see this as like a
I think by saying naked gun, I think that's given the wrong type of
humor. Yeah, but this is more of a sassire and in a good
way and as in well done. Like I don't know I've seen all the
movie yet, but from what I've seen, everything i've seen looks incredible.
And the sequence the show with the the in the trailer with the murder is
right out of right out of Columbo. It is so well done. And
it's the thing is that it's not just that it's done, is that they
actually shoot the film yep, so that it looks like one of those releases.
And that's not an easy thing to do with. Trust me. There's
so many mystery shows that came out in the Hallmark and stuff of that years
later that they can't get that right. But this one gets it right.
Kubrick Glover says, sorry, I didn't say high right away. You are
forgiven. Hello, Glad you're here. Next one up from our many partner
labels, King Car is coming from Dark Star Picks. This is a twenty
twenty two release. Twenty twenty two. A Man A young Man's Ability to
surreally, be one with and speak to cars, sparks a revolution that could
save his community. When his invention inadvertently accelerates the underlying problems of the community,
our hero's quest must grow bigger than his own personal ambitions, and a
fight for survival ensues with the zombies of capitalism. This is one that I've
never heard of, and the Star comped it on my post and said,
Oh my gosh, Mom, I'm on a cover. It's super beautiful.
Congrats. Oh cool. So this is this one? Looks interesting. I
don't know a whole lot about this, and it seems I mean, obviously,
it's a twenty twenty two film. It's very brand new. Who is
on the cover, by the way, what's what's her name is? Jewels?
Uh? Where is it up here? Let me look at the other
page because her name she's not the star of the film. She's one of
the others. I guess her name is Jules Ettling. So here's the thing
when and I'll be honest, when I saw the cover, I was like,
yeah, that's that sounds kind of cool. And I read it read
about it like, oh, yeah, that does sound really interesting, kind
of Watch the trailer and I was like, I'm not quite sure, Like
like one I look for the for the first girl from the cover in the
trailer h and I was like, okay, uh is does she stre and
it's like it's a guy, and like is the car? Does he become
a card? Does he talked to cars? And this is not it.
I don't know what you thought. I wasn't a trailer that sells me like
I don't think it was a well cut trailer, because I guess that's why
I put it. I agree, and I feel like this is a step
back from some of the other Dark Star releases that we've had, But either
way, it's intriguing enough and it not not necessarily the same tone, but
it gives me, obviously, with the subject matter of the film, a
lot of Tatan vibes, and I'm very curious to see how far this movie
goes. Well. I hope it doesn't go in that time. But yeah,
no, this could be a better film than the trailer. That's often
you know, trailers can be misleading, but I'll be honest. I always
the slip had me down for it right away, and the trailer pulled me
back. I remember, and I show the back of that. This is
the back of it. It's a nice looking release. But again, this
is one that just go in and if you are interested at least watch the
trailer and make a decision there. I don't know, actually I don't know
this time because I think the trailer might dissuade people that might be interested in
the film, because I don't know. Do you think the trail is a
good I haven't seen. No, I don't necessarily, but I mean I
haven't seen the film either, so maybe it is. It's not because if
it is, like okay, it's like that's okay. But it just didn't
seem like a trailers was the selling on films. As you know, there's
an art to the trailer. It's something that DC doesn't know because they just
put everything in the trailers, like to be a friend. You can rent
this for two bucks US right now on most sites. I mean you can
rent this on Google, Play, YouTube, Amazon, two dollars on YouTube,
and you can watch the entire film. That's what I do. Yeah,
yeah, spend the two bucks so much a trailer checking the film if
you're interested. But one I can tell you that is really good. The
Little Hours from twenty seventeen is coming from Gunpowder and Sky. Some of these
faces here you might recognize. This is the lovely Alison Brie. This is
John c Riley on the top left. This is Kate mccouchee. This is
Dave Franco in two different places on here. This is Aubrey Plaza. Here
is the back of the release with Aubrey and Dave. And this is one
from like I said, twenty seventeen that works. I saw this I think
in twenty seventeen and it's it's good, but the ending kind of fell apart
for me. But I think it's absolutely still worth the purchase. It's very
funny and then the cool part. This got a brand new commentary with the
director with Alison Brie, Aubrey Plaza, Dave Franco and Kate mccouchi all recorded
this year, which is nice. That's kind of rare for especially for those
those bigger actors to do something new for this. Well, I have one
thing to say right now, like who's not in love ab Plasm? It's
a good question, yeah, Like come on, like do you have a
soul? You still got to be in love with Abby Plasm. Sorry,
same with that Brie does, like when going from Community to Glow, which
was freaking incredible. But Dave Frank could to be the most talented of the
Frank I really like him. But uh and the least problematic. Uh but
uh yeah, great cast. Chancey Raley's in this one. Uh, wasn't
it Kate She's yeah, she has a lot of voice work, like I
was. She has like a ton of voice work. She's really good at
it. Two. But yeah, the Aubrey Plais looking sexy on the cover.
Guys, that alone, like should have you getting this release. But
it's hilarious. This is based under the camera, I'm pretty sure kind of
from what the from what the trailer looks like anyway, but it starts out,
I love this is So here's the difference. King Carr's trailer not good.
The trailer for this one. Here we'll have everybody wanting to buy this
film to watch the trailer. Oh yeah, it's the best trailer of all
these, out of all the movies that we looked at. Here, like
when my patroon channel we went through all these, Uh, this is Vengerson
a month like venished in seven month and unpating my patron so I went through
all the trailers, I got a a strike not warning like you know.
Luckily it was at Montize anyway, so screw that. Uh but yeah,
this was probably my favorite of all the trailers. And I was I was
surprised to see Abrey Plaza come up. I was like, I need this.
It's a good one. I will stand by my assessment with that.
And like I said in the Patreon stream, the Little Hours pairs really well
with Your Highness and yeah, exactly, I love Your Highness and they go
very well together. And that was put it by Mill Creek. That was
so it's not an expensive like by Your Highness. There's feet on it too.
There's actually some decent features on there. Say there you go see no
Creek getting features when Keno stile Egg just saying but you know, your Highness,
One, I love your Highness and two I'll probably watch them together.
One of the ones that I am most excited about this month is No Resistance
coming from Saturn's Core Audio and Video. This is made by a filmmaker from
Houston in nineteen ninety four and Saturn's Corp does a lot of the shot on
video stuff and I have I've been very much appreciating what they've done to some
of these titles. A lot of the people that watch the channel love Saturn's
Core, and they not enough people are getting these, I think, and
obviously SolV can turn away some people. But this one looks special. If
you watch the trailer for this one, it looks to be a very different
type of release from Saturn's Core, and just to try to lay the groundwork
for this little bit, the synopsis says Houston sometime in the near future,
in the aftermath of the catastrophic collapse of America's governmental and financial infrastructures, DJ
is a pink haired, crank snorting cyber alchemist performing high priced hacks for hire.
From his fully mobile, holstered laptop, DJ navigates through a dystopian urban
jungle, evading the ire of rival government street gangs and wielding his iterant PC
like a futuristic gunslinger, erasing phone bills and shutting down life support systems for
a bounty of drugs, floppy disks, and cash. When DJ is hired
by would be terrorists to obtain a high risk weaponized computer virus, he instead
finds himself involuntarily becoming the carrier of a far more insidious cargo, the fallout
from which may lead to war or even the end of all humanity as we
know it. Anything. I don't think I've heard you talk about sov stuff,
are you? Are you into SOOV? Yeah, but uh, it's
certain ones more than others. I like some Saturn's course stuff. Uh.
Some of the Wave stuff is okay, you know, it's sounds better than
others to be you know, let's be of course. But uh, this
the castings a bit different for me when I was watching the trailer because the
hero seems more like a like a quieter a me type, I guess is
the way you want about it. From what I hear, this director pretty
much just worked with his group of friends in Houston, so that could be
why, Like I got a feeling this is going to be better than I
do than I think it is because initially want to watch the trailer. This
is another one. I was like the trailer like not quite sure, but
you know, there was. It got like a bunch of kind of rave
reviews for the trailer and stuff like that, but you're gonna push that anyway.
Looks that interesting And I'm not super big on the cover, but that
doesn't matter to me. Like like I said before, like the slip covers
and now what's gonna sell me on the film? Yeah, I think they
could have done a little better with that description is good and you know,
but like Saturn's Corps doing stuff and they're putting it stuff with like like John
just said, like tons of stuff on their releases, like they really go
go go to town. Like they put a great like features on the releases
that they do, and you get like extra extra featurettes like interviews, sometimes
commentaries, sometimes extra films, so fun stuff there or when their first release
that extra music video that was super cool because I just love that song from
that documentary. But you know, I'm I'm interested. Sounds like a good
wit with tech War Jonny and Mona, the director is saying that the cyberpunk
Yo Jimbo portion on this is incredible and maybe the best feature that they've done,
which really speaks to me because, first of all, the guy from
Saturn's Corps, he he was a co director of Mail Order Murder the Wave
documentary that they made, and he has been the main curator of all of
this and if he feels that way, I guarantee it's probably incredible. So
and then on top of that, all of their discs are always ridiculously loaded,
like more than half of them have had bonus movies, they have all
kinds of interviews, they've got commentaries. The big thing is when you're getting
a shot on video, it's not gonna be this huge high death release.
However, that means there's tons more space on the Blu ray to have a
lot of features. So there's all kinds of stuff on these that are just
so much fun to dive into. And like, I know, a lot
some people like we'll see shot on video and automatically kind of just kind of
go away, But it's it can be really really fun. Seven does like
a label called Intervision which will deals with shop with your stuff as well.
Put it one of my favorite things. One of the worst movies of all
time. But if you haven't seen that, you are truly not a bad
movie. Kind of stars. It's the one you have to say, Oh
Gate, keep you there, you gotta see things. But yeah, I
know Saturday's cors. I love that. More of the releases mail Order Murders
on when I got that I own right now, I've seen most of the
films that they put out. I haven't seen this one and that in tricks
Me. I just rewatched that documentary this week and it is so good that
first, if you don't have Mail Order Murder, highly recommend it. If
you've never gotten into shot on video, it's a really good primer for that
sort of thing. It gives you the feeling the culture that surrounds it.
It gives you really a really good inside look of the people behind it that
shows that in many instances it genuinely is a passion project. You know what
I say with I know Mail Order Murder as a documentary was devisive to some
people. I thought it was fantastic, But for me, it gets a
feeling of remember Chrome, the documentary chron I have never seen it. Oh,
okay, see the documentary Chrome one. That's fantastic too. It has
that kind of like a kind of weird phramege vibe to it. That's so
good. But yeah, dude, Criteria, next time Criterion puts out a
sale, get Chrome Like, trust me on this one. This is an
interesting one of the great documentaries of all time. Yeah, and Criterions put
out some incredible documentary So yeah, and Warlock words out of my mouth.
I was about to mention SRS Studio. They do a lot of shot on
video stuff. There is a very low budget I think it's DVD only company
so far to s OV Horror dot Com also releases stuff and they're they're genuinely
like eight dollars. So if you're looking to more shot on video stuff,
there is a lot out there. Yep. It can open up just a
world of good stuff that maybe you are the exact audience that they've been waiting
to find. Sabrosa is a company that I think introduced a lot of people
in the DVD age to shout on video stuff, like because I know I'm
pretty sure they did some work with early Milk Creek, Like there are some
like releases that were put out. I think this was mill Creek, like
like these twenty like movie sets that's like, who are that's Sabrosa stuff on.
There are a lot of night Dismember and stuff like that. I just
actually packed one way. So that's that's why I know that nice, nice,
nice, all right? Next one, this one is coming from Altered
Innocence. This is Passing Strangers Forbidden Letters. This is from Arthur J.
Breson Jr. Who did Buddies that Vinegar Syndrome put out previously, and I
I've been known for a lot of people when I talk about Vinegar Syndrome to
champion, Buddies is possibly the best film they ever released, the best actual
film. I love that movie. It is one that as absolutely brought me
to an emotional breakdown at certain times. It is such a great film.
If you do not have Buddies, I strongly suggest putting on the top of
your list for the sale. But these are a very different type of movie
than Buddies. No other filmmaker better embody the spirit of the gay liberation movement
than Arthur J. Breson Jr. A true pioneer of queer cinema, has
films fearlessly blurred the boundaries between the artistic, the erotic, and the cinematic,
and never so clearly as with his first two narrative films, the critically
acclaimed Passing Strangers and Forbidden Letters. Altered Innocence and The Bresen Project are proud
to present these two landmarks of early queer cinema, newly restored in two K
from the OCN with the host of new bonus features and there is a host
on here for sure. Audio commentary on both on stage, Q and A
with the star and queer film historian Jenny Olsen at the San Francisco Porn Film
Festival. Five early Super eight shorts by Arthur J. Preston Jr. Print
materials, original trailers and other trailers, double bill trailer, and a twenty
page booklet. And I mean that is a lot into a release like this.
This is beautifully show. This is the one where I had to turn
off the trailer as it just it was a little bit too it. Yep,
it showed too much. Like uh, let's say that, especially even
even on a lot on a on a product like it's show too much.
But uh, if you're on urs in queer cinema, Uh, this is
definitely gonna be like one put in your collection. I don't have much press.
I don't I don't have buddies yet. I've seen Buddies. It kind
of wrecked me though. Yeah, so that's that's actually the reason that I
haven't got yet because Stick kind of wrecked me. Though it is a great
film. I do like second your recommendation on it. Uh, this is
not Buddies is very It's beautifully shot, Like I'll say that right now,
Like from what I saw, it's beautifully shot. And the and the booklet
are fantastic again for like people that are stories of this type of cinema.
Yeah, this is going to be like a grab for me, not so
much right now. But what about you does this one? I mean I'm
interested at least I'm more curious, like what we could have gotten from Arthur
J. Bresse and Junior if he did not die so young. I mean,
the way that he was able to film and really cater a narrative into
a way that delivered. He's one of those people that can essentially make the
film go or feel an emotion, which is a lot more difficult than you
think. And Buddies primarily because that's my main introduction to him. It is
so perfectly executed that it is a gut punch, and it was made in
such a time that I can't imagine watching it then, which I imagine the
people that did see it then if you were empathetic to that movement at all,
you would just be wrecked. Yeah, I see what he's back then,
I'm trying to remember if I did. I'm from that era, so
we had it was a it was a different difficult time and uh you yeah,
uh that'tely I have we have friends then to do stuff like that.
But I'm very interested in I don't know, I want I go back and
forth. I know that's not gonna something they're going to watch right away.
But I know I'm gonna watch the features. I know, I know I'm
gonna read the booklet. That's that's the important part for me. And you
know, as you know, as I say the word right now, people
some people don't like it as as you know, curator, that's what I
do that this is a type of a film that I don't want to see
lost. This is these are you you don't want to see any film lost.
But when I when we're talking about, okay, things that aren't gonna
get seen as much, things that are are going to be an important place
in uh in film history, things like this tend to not sell as well.
They tend to get lost in the shuffle among other releases. When there's
a big Russian fantasy film coming out, When there is a funny, cheesy,
you know, sad Tower of the NBC mystery movies and there's an every
Plaza movie coming out. This tends to fall on the lighter side of the
scale, and people tend to bypass it a bit, which is really a
shame. And for some people, I understand it's gonna make you a bit
uncomfortable, but I'll put it to you this way. That's not bad to
like go in and learning grew exactly. Uh, and it's okay to feel
uncomfortable, but uh, truly, yeah, watch this, uh, especially
with this director. If you if you're gonna if this is something and this
is new and you're looking at it and you want to see and you want
and you to see core centem. I want to see what's been done and
you and Buddies might be your only release that you've seen. If you've seen
it, then uh, then this is this is your next step and take
it from there. And then if you are curious, alterned innocence is the
way to go. They are a label completely devoted to queer cinema and everything
they've put out is interesting. Although make sure, depending on what you're wanting
to watch, that they have titles that they put out that is literally just
pornography. So make sure we know what you want, which you know,
if that if that's what you want to watch, by all means, get
it. There's nothing wrong with that. But the they have you know,
beautiful coming of age stories, they have horror movies that are dedicated to it,
they have hardcore adult cinema. They have pretty much everything that you could
want under the queer banner. And I completely respect them for that. And
then look at pool because put up pools work as well, which is actually,
you know, pretty good when it comes comes to this type stuff.
I've seen the poll stuff. But uh yeah, we all four K movies
region three. Let's kind of one of the big things out with four K
deflex is that it's the region free. It's the region free. But I
guess the format of four K there is nothing written into the actual standard for
when you are making a four K on how to region lock it. They're
not supposed to. There are four titles in existence that have been region locked
on four K, but there's so few far in between it's not going to
be something that you're worried about. There is one title in the US that
was released as region locked as four K. The other three were from somewhere
in Europe and there were mostly like no name titles, stuff that most people
are not going to beginning. Four K is meant to be the thing that
literally anybody anywhere can watch to get rid of all of the crap that we
dealt with for years on different regions. And it's great for somebody like me
who's moving from North America over too in North Africa, because over there's everything's
region two. So every four K release I get is you know, it's
it's super good for me. I'm we're looking to buy two twenty electronics,
a good trying to get a reaching free player in the near future, so
with a with four K. So that's uh, I recommend four K.
It's it's if you're collecting physical media right now. I know for a long
time people are like hesitant on four K, Like, yeah, I'm not
gonna Blu Ray is good enough, you know, four K is not.
Yeah, it's it's niche look at all the stuff that's coming out right now,
and you know, like eighty percent of it. No is one of
the big things. One of the biggest things. Remember it was slip covers
were a thing. I'm like, oh, look, it's got a slip
cover. Now, Hey, guess what it's got a It's four K with
the Blu Ray. So yeah, even if you don't have a four K,
maybe you got four K TV most TVs that comeing out nowadays, or
you go to get a little Warmer Tart whatever their four K, even even
the cheaper ones, right so, and you may not have a player right
away, but most of these four K releases are four K Blu Ray like
SAM, So this is a cool way of actually gone out and future proofing.
When DVDs are around Criterion nasty, we're nervous about going to Blu raye.
So they put out these incredible Blu Ray DVD like duo pacts and I
bought everyone I can get my hands on, and then they canceled them and
said, I know we're going to do Blu Ray DVDY separately, and I'm
like mother, but uh, flex also wants to know. Is four K
the crime the creme de la creme of quality? My personal opinion, the
way I've explained this before is that there are films that have been shot higher
than four K a lot of them. Six point five K is a weird
standard, and then eight K has been a common standard. I don't think
personally that we are going to go above four K on home media because to
really benefit from eight K, it's got to be a giant screen. And
we're talking we're talking theater screen basically. So I could see eight K being
a thing that is displayed for very niche things. But it's mostly gonna be
digitally driven. It's usually it's not gonna be something that you're gonna buy at
Walmart or anything like that. Now, I mean, like when it comes
to uh, come this four k uh for me? Is it the crame
delocrit? Yes? But here's the thing. A lot of four K releases
that that you're gonna be looking at are gonna allow the order releases because what
you because when things are being shot on four K and a digital camera or
even six K, okay, it's it's being digitally shot that's gonna look good.
No like in format anyway, When you're looking at four K releases,
you're looking at things that were shot on film because that's where the restoration comes
into play. Also, four K don't just look at the picture, close
your eyes. It's the sound and that is where you're going to get the
biggest difference at is the is the sound, Because the sound is incredible.
Not only do we get the uptick in resolution, but HDR can change the
way you view some of these films too. Adobe Vision it is still the
best way to go, and Dolby utmost if you out the bones and you
can get that. Uh Adobe, I don't have enough money to buy aslbe
amos. I don't Adobe almost either, but uh I've heard of them and
it's so glorious. I got a son No so right now, and you
know it's just a cheaper assistanum, but it works. So there you go.
I was talking this with one of the viewers today. I this is
going to be some people are going to shun me possibly from saying this,
but I have two young kids, and both of my kids are special needs,
and because we've lost some things around the house from them not handling things
properly, I still just use TV speakers. I they're not at the age
that I can trust them yet I had kids. I understand that that's that's
normal. Man, you know, you get there now. The neat thing
about the ones that I got, like the Sono speakers are small, they're
compact, but they're h so you kind of like put them like like I
got them over on the two sides of my armory there if you can,
if you got the set up, you know, you can put them up
fairly high and they're easy to get at. But if your kids are climbers
and stuff like that, you know that could be a thing in the air
heavy. So I don't want kids to getting hurt. And so wait,
right, you know, speakers are good. And I've got a really crappy
lay out of my living room. I had to mount my TV on a
corner post that is protruding into the living room, and there's nothing like behind
my couches. There's no there's no shelves, there's nowhere like that makes sense
to set up even a table or anything like that. It is an awful,
awful living room for for movie viewing and for se screen did you go
far? I have a sixty five inch right now. Yeah, it's the
screen is beautiful. I love that. But even then, like I have
it mounted between two windows so during the day it's awfully blended in with the
light. So really, when I want to watch something that looks great,
I got to wait till nighttime. I've had TVs like that, I had
like a curve TV that was the issue, like early I remember the curve
TVs. Oh yeah, but yeah. Scolders said that eight k's used a
lot for for sports like yes and uh and video games. So basically,
when you're looking at like eight K is never gonna be something, I don't
think we're gonna be nobody's gonna be buying any KSK. Let's be honest,
guys, right now, DVD sell the best, Like you know, there's
blu rays, there's four k's DVD sell the best set of all the formats
that are right there, it's still DVD. That's like the king of the
formats. But said, but also it's because it's the cheapest. That's the
cheapest. Then, like it's everybody Like, here's the thing. Uh,
if you got a computer that happens to have a player in it, nine
times out of ten that players a DVD players, not a Bluery player.
Unless you paid the extra money to get a Glory player on your computer.
It's not a four K. It's not a Bluery player. If you go
to a cabin, you go somewhere else, a lot of the players you
see there you go to an Airbnb DVD players, it's just easy to get.
Now, I forget it. You've got like a PlayStation three or an
Xbox or you know, going old school or even Xbox Series. I s
well, that that's four K player, but uh, PlayStation only went play
station created this freaking thing, waited they didn't have a four K player in
their PS four, which is utterly insane, and only had one put on
as a as a bonus onto this one. And you could tells an afterthought
right if you look at the system for the PlayStation five, and again,
I highly recommend buying a standalone player. I firmly believe that consoles are not
great players for these So I've got a recommendation video that I put out like
a month and a half ago. It is well worth it to upgrade.
Yeah, let's keep going. Huh, we still got quite a bit left
from canny. I think that's how you pronounced this. I've never heard somebody
else say it out loud. We're getting videophobia from twenty twenty, and this
says I A superbly laconic Timoa Hirota haunts the streets of Osaka addressed as a
mascot After going home with a stranger, she wakes up to find footage of
their intimate and counter uploaded to a porn side. As all systems of recourse
and remedy fail her, her sense of dislocation and alienation intensifies, and eye
resorts to a strange solution. Now, Canny has done a lot of really
good work so far. Have you picked up any of their their stuff?
Not? Yeah, I don't picking anything the share that except for the to
releases that showed at the beginning of the video. But the sound that the
plot that this one sounds really interesting. Yeah. It gives me almost like
a repulsion meets and Miss forty five type of feel. Yeah, and uh
whatever a woman's torment, which is still one of the best things that was
Peer Center ever. But uh, yeah it there's no trailer for this one,
I don't think because I'm pretty sure we can't watch trailer for this one.
Yeah, I think there was, but it's actually uh it's it's a
pig of a Uh. This also has a bonus uh what do they call
it? A newly commission into short film from twenty twenty two. That's nine
minutes. It's got a booklet it's got a sticker with it. Even lots
of cool stuff with this release. Uh. To me, candy has been
pretty damn grape so far. I like stickers, but yeah, let's go.
Let's follow that up with one of the oddest announcements of the year.
Shout Select from Shout Factory is getting Georgia Rules, starring Lindsay Lohan and j
Jane Vonda and Felicity Huffman. Uh. I haven't seen this, uh,
but I like the three actresses. I really do. I think Lindsay Lohan
is extreme. I still think she's amazing, beautiful looking. And Felicitie Huffman
uh is is one of my one of the actress that I think is on
point all the time. You know, samon Chane Faine, but I guess,
hey, I'm a I'm a desperate housewist guy. I watched that and
she was incredible in that. Actually, I do you on this film?
I don't. I've not seen it. It went under my radar completely.
I I also like Lindsay Lohan. I think that she's mocked primarily because it
wuldn't happen around the time, but she's genuinely a decent actor. Most mostly
she's so. I do think this is a very odd fit for Shout Select
though, and I think that for us a label to put it home for
the holidays kind of yeah yeah. If anything, I I I think that
this should have just put under Shout Factory, not Shout Select. I think
we're getting more I understand because Cubic you're cool man, but uh, because
they're leaning more towards this. And here's the thing. When you pick up
like a lot of these titles, honestly, it's the it's the label titles
that probably sell best. So this will probably sell better under the Shout Select,
under regular Shout, under regular ship factory release because people collect the people
that are OCD like me can want to collect all of those numbers, right,
and they'll they'll definitely get to get that one. See it interests me?
I would I would buy this. Uh. I know it's silly and
like it may seem silly, but it's the type of movie that I would
sit back on and and buy. But I'd also sit down and watch,
like, uh, Missy Pizza, Yeah, so do I I've got nothing
against the film. The only thing for me is that it seems odd in
the shout select line, which I understand the merit from a business perspective on
why to put it there, but from the viewer perspective, it just seems
like a weird decision. I think once Home for the Holidays hit there because
I that's again another one that at the time I thought it was a strange
choice for for shoud select, and I didn't. I bought that one actually
recently got for five dollars. But uh, but yeah, so I after
that, I'm like, yeah, I can see where they can kind of
just put in like pretty much anything that they that they want to within certain
parameters. It's things that they that they think can sell. And I know
this may be a perfect you know fit along that lines for so it select
where I haven't seen it, I really can't say, but I do like
the actresses in it. Like if the rest if the movie is as quality
as the actors are, fantastic understood. Next one, they are upgrading Species
for screen Factory. This is coming in four K. I mentioned earlier we
would talking about Species again. This has no new features. This has I
believe it's yeah, three discs, one four K disc, two Blu ray
discs, and that does include an upgraded Blu ray to the new scan,
which is nice, I guess. But at the same time, we don't
have any other releases of the sequels in print in the US still, so
get the eighty eight Films release of Ball four. I would recommend all four
of those over the Species four K. I got some question. I've seen
this like cover show up a couple of times now. Fronde a film's release
shows that, and this one here shows that where is this from? This
is not the North American cover for a species. It was natas Entstridge on
the cover. It wasn't like the alien on the covered the original because I
saw Species in theater. Why can't the next generation systems like the PS five
play four K movies? Well, they can play them, it's just that
things like Delbie Atmos and Dolby A Dolby Vision aren't available to play on Xbox
or PlayStation five. Well, and beyond that those those those are made to
play games. So there are certain features that are lacking for movies that are
more apt for games on there. So if you're wanting to focus on movies
the four K, you're going to get the most out of a standalone player
that is made to excel in those exactly. H I just looked up IMDb
species and this says this is the main poster, not the theater I went
to. Like, I can tell you right now, this is not the
poster that's that theater that I went to when the side of film theater.
The poster that was in the theater that I went to wasn't at an Attash
Henderson poster. Like maybe it's maybe it's the US release. I'll share it
right here. Actually you have like a some cards here, so you see
that picture right there. Yeah, that's poster. Hmm. Yeah, you
mentioned that too, like when I said, like, where does this come
from? Like because they didn't remember it either, this must be the US
release poster because it is showing up on IMDb. But this is IMDb two
so people can alter this. But uh but yeah, I know. But
now, yes, first time it's was on the side I almost on any
of other other previous releases. Other I remember because I had a VHS released
this too and that also didn't have all right, Shout Factory is seemingly having
a light month because they had to delay their three previous four K releases that
were gonna come out in June to July, so this was pretty much it.
Then they announced some other random things to go along with it. Star
Hunter is coming out complete series, all forty four episodes. This is coming
July twenty sixth, and it's got some bonus features. Got behind the scenes
featurette, some effects, star Hunter at fan Expo, all kinds of other
stuff. I know nothing about this show. It's okay. It's like a
fun, cheesy sci fi show. Who starts on this one again? Sipn
or somebody say, Michael Perey from Streets of Fire, Stephen Marcus, Tanya
Allen, Claudette Roche and Clive Robertson. If you liked like the basic sci
fi show, likely watch on the soft talent type thing. That's what it
is. I got a lot of fun it, but I do love like
I gotta, I love that type of stuff. But yeah, it's a
I'm not sure if it's a big release. Why is it called Readoux though,
because I don't remember that being the original releases Unless I'm entirely sure.
It doesn't have anything to explain it either. But they are doing some other
stuff too. They are putting out JFK revisited. This is coming on July
nineteenth. And one thing that's cool about this, and I'm not sure well
I speak about this, let me let me check see if it's sold out
already. They are having an option now where you can purchase the one of
the posters signed by Oliver Stone, which is pretty cool, and that one
is still available. The one with the Oliver Stone autograph is eighty dollars.
If you're a really big fan of the movie in Oliver Stone, I guess
yeah, but uh yeah, hey, this says the themes Rea Ducks revisited.
There you go, yeah, get here. Uh you know, I
like JFK. I keep getting up a recommendation for a video on YouTube that
says, why was the JFK's coffin closed? That's a pretty easy one to
figure out. Yeah, uh yeah, I was gonna make a poor taste
joke. But yeah, that's uh So this one has a new audio commentary
with Oliver Stone. And there again there is a cheaper release that does not
have the autograph poster. So this this is one I might actually get eventually.
I've got like the Oliver Sun collection, uh the old DVD one,
so this would be d stop great from me, actually nice, but uh,
they're they're seemingly big titles. This month they're putting out Anthony Quinn's Lion
of the Desert in four K. This also has Oliver read and this is
the Mustafa cod titles and and I say titles because not only are they doing
that, they're also doing the message which a lot of a lot of people
have been waiting on. I think these were like soft announced last year,
so just finally getting them, that's a big one from my house, especially
the message right. The message is uh, it was a kind of a
passion project for him and it was the one where the where basically it's the
no, it's a Muslim film, the same you get like a lot of
the the the Christian like films like The Rope and all this stuff like that
and h but this is considered like to be like the one of the greats.
And we owned the Blue Rice special thistion to this one. I'll probably
upgrade to this one because the movie is actually really good. Anthony Quinn's in
this, but I don't know if this is what I'm thinking of, because
it's I've seen it. I don't if he plays my Hammit, we don't
see him because I like, you don't see my Hammed in like in the
muzzle, but they don't. Where as we pimp out like you know,
Christ and every picture and plate, they don't show like the in the in
there not get like weird, but with not get like political or whatever.
But uh so when you watch but it's still no because basically when you're watching
this movie because it is spilled Mohammad, but for they do what they don't
show Mohammed, right, that's the reason, Flip says, Hi. Uh
yeah, So both of those are coming in four K and knowing what they
look like, they're probably gonna look fantastic in four K. I can't remember
the line of the Desert that well, but I do like Anthony Quinn,
like pretty much anything Anthony Quinn'm down for. I watched Herculey's Legendary Journeys originally
because of Anthony Quinn plants. And then they're putting out Pompo the Cinephile.
This is from twenty twenty one. Uh, not much to say about this
one. It's a g kids title, is it? Because when I looked
at it, I thought, is this is this? Is this? Like
one of those. Is this a hintai type thing, because the other,
as far as I'm aware, Shout Factory is not released any hint Ei Damn
Man. There's a label that's uh. But this is maybe the one that
people are talking about the most. They are putting out on July twelfth,
the six Million Dollar Man, the complete series all on Blu Ray. Uh.
And the big thing is that this is let me pull it back up.
Oh no, it is here. This thirty three Blu Ray set includes
all ninety nine episodes, the three pilot films, three reunion films, and
bonus crossover episodes of The Bionic Woman. So the crossover episodes are are intersting.
You're going to get to hear the star Lee Madris sing the song Jamie,
Oh you won't forget it, trust me in that one. I have
the Time Life six dollars Man set. It's one of the prize pieces in
my collection, six of Mams. One of the very first things that I
ever saw on television as a kid, and I remember in Black and White.
I remember the Bigfoot episode. I'm not sure if it was the Jack
Cassie one was and Andre the Giant one, but there was there's there's a
couple of different ones. There's one where he's fighting Bigfoot and he rips off
Bigfoot iron and it's like it's a robot, like an android. Spoiler alert
for a series from the early seven But uh, I'm excited about this.
I'm a huge six min dollars man fan. I love my TV stuff.
I doubt it'll have all the features that the Time Life did. For one
particular reason, Time Life are extremely, extremely tight with their features, so
I never it's put out like companies looking for new features because Time Life are
like, nope, you're not getting rus. It's happened on severals, but
this is the first time it's gotten a Blu Ray release. As far as
I know, I have this. I had these all on DVD when the
new DVDs came out, and then I got and then I went to a
local shop and I saw the Time Life set, and I gave my cousin
my other DVD releases and I kept the Time Life on. It's so so
good. I I don't know. I don't love the six million dollar man.
I think I probably need to watch it again. It's been a long
time since I've watched it, Like it starts it very different like them films.
Did you see the pilot films? Like it's more of a like a
James Bonding type spot right, it starts and it becomes more into like what
it becomes like more I guess the pedestrian type thing now, much like like
the he Man Shira thing. Six min Man is really good, bonic woman.
It's better because you know the basic fact that they were able to smooth
out those those rough edges that right with the original series when they put the
spinoff out that and uh, I'm sorryly majors. The sixth Man dot a
man with the mustache. It's not the same man. Next up we got
from Scorpion. We were talking about Scorpion right before we went live. Uh.
And obviously they are a partner label of Keno now, so it's gonna
be able to be bought from Keno. They're putting out Where the Lilies Bloom
from nineteen seventy four New two K Master on this. I know literally nothing
about this. Harry Dean Stanton's in it though, Rance Howard, I don't
know anything. Have you seen this one? I think so speaking of a
movie that seems like out of place, for the uh for the company.
This is different for a scorpion. I'm I'm interested because yeah again, if
I remember it correctly, it's it's like, uh, it's just it's a
drama. I don't think it's a comedy. I think I think this is
it even says right here a young woman struggles to keep her family together against
all the odds and this deeply felt drama from producer Robert B. Radnitz.
Yeah. So yeah, so it's gonna be again if you're if you're into
this type of movie. Uh, it's it's definitely a good it's definitely a
good one, and it's it's it's well known. But uh, but I
can't remember anything about it right now. I love the next one. We
have all kinds of keynot titles that were announced this the last couple of days.
It was just crazy. So this is from nineteen fifty three. We're
getting the Mississippi Gambler. This has it's directed by Rudolph Mattey, and it's
starring Tyrone Power, Piper Laurie and Julie Adams. Piper Laurie always greater what
she does. I've never seen this one though. I don't remember this one
either, But I love this cover and I love that Meet the fabulous Mac
Fallon. His game is fancy women. His fate is a lady love.
How can you not love that? How do you not love that? Uh?
Yeah, Piper Laurie is great and everything she's she's ever done. I
love Pepper Laurie, so yeah, good stuff. Pre Orders for the upcoming
Crew creep Show Anthology media book collection from Cinemuseum will be live on May seventh
at two thirty pm Italy time. This is less than one thousand units.
There are nine hundred and ninety nine of them being printed, so be prepared
if you want this one. An interesting thing when they originally announced this,
this had Creepshow, Creepshow two, and for the first time, Creepshow three
on Blu Ray, and everybody whined that they were getting Creepshow three, so
they took Creepshow three out and gave us just desserts instead. Now I get
why people don't like Creepshow three, but it would have been so nice to
have them all together and finally have the third one on Blu Ray, even
though it's not great. How much is this one? This will probably be
way more expensive than it should be this will probably be like a one hundred
and twenty dollars release yetes okay now, but uh, here's the thing.
Just Desserts is a better, better, better Really, if you had to
choose, if you could put Just Asserts and Creep Show three on, there
is maybe like a bonus feature. Yeah, yes, but if you're going
to choose between Just Desserts and creep Show three, just Desserts Deserts being their
way more than creep Show three does because Jess Desserts is the documentary like about
the films and creep Show three is literally somebody that bought the rights to it
and made a bastardization with the name. Creep Show three does nothing to do
with creep Show And uh, you know, I get it, like the
OCD and me like, oh what want I own? Return to Seaboy Camp
truly one of the worst slasher sequels to ever be made. Poor felesil Rose
having to do that. But I'm most unlikely leads ever. But but yeah,
no, I'm okay, I'm okay with creep Show three not being around.
Have you seen it? I have years ago, and I know it's
not great, but it would be nice to have it in high deaf.
There's a big uptick on those that would you would you really need that and
high deaf like like's not reading three that could really I I'd rather give it
another chance in high depth than watching in some like two b VCR quality.
Well, yeah, but a DVD release is good too for that one.
I just want people to like go out there and spend like their hard and
money and oh yeah, definitely don't do that. Yeah. I was just
saying if it was going to be tossed in for something and it was the
I mean, I'm a big fan of like worldwide Blu ray debuts with that
sort of thing. Is is a big deal for me. But just asserts
dec metric well, and we already have that, and I love Justice ERTs.
I already own it that. Yeah, that Justice ERTs is great.
Messiah of Evil, this is an interesting thing. So Diabolic DVD posted a
picture with this new art from Messiah of Evil on their Twitter a couple of
weeks ago, and yes and some we were speculating that we might be getting
a four K and I was excited because this is one of the best movies
ever. This movie is incredible. It's awesome, and unfortunately it is not
that now. First of all, the Code Red release had been difficult to
find for quite some time. So what they are doing code Red and Diabolic
work together. They are re releasing Messiah Evil. It's the exact same disk
and everything, and now it'll have a fancy Diabolic exclusive slipcover and they're also
selling this shirt. Now. If you want the disc, the slipcover,
and the shirt, it's fifty dollars, which, honestly, because you're getting
a movie and a T shirt, that's not crazy price. However, if
you just want the T shirt and the slipcover because you've already had the movie,
you can just buy those two for thirty bucks. So when I first
saw that, I didn't know about that second option, and I just,
you know, why are we re releasing this cover and a T shirt?
But because they're offering that alone, I think that's pretty damn cool. See,
I've only got an old release of Massage of Evil. I hate this
is coming right now because I can't buy it, but I would definitely buy
this because guys, yeah, he's right, this is a really good film.
Yeah, and that is a nice, nice T shirt, like fifty
bucks for the movie. The T shirt like like slip's a slip it's it's
it's cardboard. But a T shirt you can wear. You know you're not
gonna wear slip around T shirt and T shirts you buy anything from like any
of the companies like Tara Threads or or you know, any any of the
T shirt companies that they cost a bit. So yeah, definitely it's a
good quality T shirt, which I'm sure it'll be then fantastic, especially the
fact that the Leak is doing it. If this was just code run on
their own, man, but I agree there but yeah, but since the
idea but Leak is with it, then I trust more because I trust to
DVD way more than I trust code or another on And keep in mind,
if you have that old disc, there's no there's literally it's it's the exact
same thing. It's the same case, it's the same disc, it's the
same art, all of that is the same. The only thing that might
be added here is the slip cover and the shirt. So if you've already
got the movie and you don't care about the slip and the shirt, you're
done. You're good. But if you want to slip and you want to
end in the shirt's there. That's a great option to put up for people.
Yeah, and thirty bucks for a slipcover and a shirt. I mean
that's a very fair price. That's a great price. And I'm and like
even on Oh okay, Tim, Sorry no, I I definitely recommend if
you don't own it, I definitely recommend it. Time Out of My Mind
is coming from Keno. This is from nineteen forty seven brand new two K
Master, New commentary with Kat Ellinger on this Yeah, then you gotta buy
it. Take like, it doesn't matter what the movie is. You know,
you're just gonna have to buy it. Like one of my most hated
films in the world is the Serbian Film. Truly hate that movie. But
if Kat Ollinger does commentary, I'll be by it. You just woke up
my friend John who was watching earlier. He's gonna come out here and defend
it because it's one of his favorite films. Next one from Keno, We
are getting Moment to Moment from nineteen sixty six brand new two K Master.
Do you know about this one, Jean Sieberg? I don't know, but
if the cast is really interesting to me, I think I've seen some of
them Geen Sieberg and or black Men, I guess famous for you know,
James Bond and of course The Adventures. But uh, but yeah, I
love the covers on these. These are freaking fantastic yeap. And this one,
just for the record, we don't know if this is the cover.
The way Keino has been doing it, They've been posting a poster shot and
saying this is coming soon and then they released the art later. So hopefully
they're able to get art like this, because this is the exact sort of
thing that's enticing for me. Yeah, they're like, this is what I
want. Don't give me a cover with this like their faces on it.
I don't say that. Yeah, no, this is And to be honest
with you, I'm at the part a point in my I guess in my
collecting life right now where I'm looking a lot more towards these style films that
they're becoming way more attractive to me. I've I've gotten so much crazy stuff
over the over the years that I'm like, yeah, I got to get
some normal stuff in my collection. So Keno's become very intriguing for a lot
of their releases with me, Kino has become very good for that stuff.
I'm a lot more excited now that like Vinegar certnermon seven are putting out some
different releases than they normally put out. Yeah that makes me, That makes
me happy. But yeah, these type here, they're just good movies.
I mean, like, who doesn't like it? Well I do. I'm
a big geek. Sit down. Sometimes we got a free time, turn
on TCM and just like watch and just like watch what no, no matter,
I'm just watching. I do that all the time. Actually, when
I got time off and I that's very rare now, But when I have
some time to myself, I'll turn on TCM. I'll just start watching.
I got like a backlog of TCM movies that I've gotten like a PBR then
watch. I don't have TV or I probably would. Next up, this
is probably the biggest one that they announced this week. Brand new two K
master coming for My Man Godfrey from nineteen fifty seven with David Niven, June
Allison, Eva Gabor, and Martha Hyer. This is one I'm pretty sure
you've seen. I think this is true. Yeah, I feel like I've
talked to you about this one. I love this film so yes By it
like if you're in this film, yeah, like it's got look the cast,
it's a classic film. I don't think anybody's ever going to say,
well man, that one let me down. No, No, this is
a really good I think we are nearing the end here. We got just
a few left Coen Film Collection. This is a partner label of Keno.
They're putting out Natalie from two thousand and six. And I don't know anything
about this, but I've heard that it's pretty good. I think I've seen
this. If someone I say, I like that and menu of there could
be flicker. Alley is putting out The Silent Enemy. Uh wow, that
is a an error. This is not from nineteen ninety. This is from
nineteen thirty and I fat fingered that when I was typing this in. This
is a very old silent film and this is done in partnership with the Blackhawk
Films Collection new restoration of the film, and this is looking to be a
pretty pretty dang great release. The big thing here is that they had actual
indigenous actors in this, and that at the time was very uncommon. That's
this one, really, I'm my family Boorn mcmah like, so yeah,
this one's really interesting to me anytime I can see indigenous actors in films,
especially right now too. There's like a growing indigenous film that's that's coming up,
and it's kind of exciting me. I spoke to a guy that was
like a was in film school and he wants to know he's got Indigenous He
wants to make a indigious horror film that he was working on, and I
really hope it comes to pass because that excites me. This nineteen thirty,
Oh my god, this is a snapshot. It's history. Yeah, I
don't know how I had that show nineteen ninety there, let's see, I
think we got one or two more, or yeah, just a few more.
Studio Canal have announced a brand new line that they're just calling cult classics,
and they're releasing High Crime from nineteen seventy three, Extreme Prejudice from nineteen
eighty seven, and Kill Them All and Come Back Alone from nineteen sixty eight
Extreme Prejudice. I am willing to stake my life that this is the exact
same scan is going to be coming out on the Vestaurn video release when that
comes out finally, And I am willing to bet that these other releases.
I don't think this one has another release yet, but if so, I
bet somebody else gets this soon too. I well, Enzo, Yeah,
you gotta buy the Enzo because Yeah, and it's gonna be grea stuff.
You know it's gonna be great. When when once his releases High Crime?
I don't remember High Crime very well? Right now? Do you remember this
one? I've never seen High Crime? I know that for a fact.
Who stars on it? You know? Uh? It is Franco Nero?
Oh then, guys, right there, it's the man himself. It's frankly
Niro. Uh, the you know you know him him? You see Franklin
Nero's name, See George Shelton's name. You buy it? Yeah? And
then let's see, we got the last one of the week, Planet of
the Vampires, the Bava title. This is getting a new release from Keto
with a brand new two K master. And what's odd is when this was
first announced is coming soon. This was announced as getting a four K restoration,
so I'm not sure what changed. Their new audio commentary by Kim Newman
and Barry Forshaw, which is really cool. Kim Newman is great. The
other commentary that was done previously by Tim Lucas is also still there. And
then they've got they've got the trailers from Hell with Joe Dante and Josh Olsen
on there. And they also have reversible art like was on their first release
of this and then this new art. I like the order better, but
this is a fantastic film, and I try to The one thing I like
to say to people is when you watch this movie, go back and look
at pictures of the first X Men film that came out by Brian's singer,
because the costumes that the the guys wear, the space costumes are so reminiscent
to the X Men costumes and the in the first segment film, it's got
this black leather looked Have you seen Have you seen this film? I have
you? Have you noticed? Did you notice that? The first time we
watched it, you know, we were looking at and we're like, I've
seen this year's cup, but I didn't. You know. X one was
the RAM back then. So me and me and handed watching it, we're
like, we can't get over We're looking at it. Do you notice She's
like yeah, like X Men, She's's like, yeah, x X Man.
I got this release a new commentary. I can't upgrade for a commentary
alone. I'm just I know it's a new scan, but the last scam
is still it was gorgeous too. So but if you don't have it,
grab it. That's a really good film, yep. And it's Baba.
If you've never given a deep dive to Baba, you really got to.
And if you're in the US, Keno is the way to go. They
have so many of Baba's releases. Aro obviously has a lot in the UK,
and yeah, great stuff. It really really easy director to get into
as well. There's so many different styles, so many different titles, so
many different just feelings that you can get from all of those. Yeah,
now this one here never got to it got narrow released this one as far
as I know. I only got a Queno release Baba though. For some
of his releases. If you're reaching free, go errow because the difference is
that sometimes are two or three different versions of Baba film. Yeah, if
you buy the air release, all versions are on that release. If you
buy the Kuno release, you're going to buy two to three different like releases
to get the film. Other girl in New Tamachivla except releases. Like you
know, a lot of Black Sabbath got different releases as well. Let's see
next. Thing we normally do is talk about what is coming out next week
in case you have forgotten or it got past you. Next week we are
getting Jurassic Park. All of the four K releases are getting standalone releases.
The Alfred Hitchcock Classics Collection four K Volume two is coming out Screen Factory.
The Ghosts in the Darkness and Cursed those are shipping now. A lot of
people have gotten those already. Treasure of the Four Crowns from Keno in three
D is coming out. Criterions mister Klein the I believe this is announced Miklos
Jancso title the collection from Keno. That is one that I'm really interested in.
I've not seen anything from him, but the trailers for those looked really
good. The Mechanic with Bronson from Scorpion is getting a wide release two for
the Money from Shout Select. I think that's pretty much it. Cinderella from
Full Moon. I don't love Full Moon much anymore. The Carrie Treatment from
Warner Archive Exposure from Scream Team releasing. That's one I like to highlight a
little more it's it's a decent film. It's had a previous release, but
it's getting a wide release. Son of Samson from Keno, The Killer Elite
from Keno, all kinds of good stuff. I don't know if you've seen
this, The Dark Knight of the Scarecrow two. Did you see the trailer
for that that they vc I put out two? Yeah? No, I
did not even know that was a thing. And it's a modern movie.
It is bad, Like it is so bad. They start the trailer with
a guy in the movie wearing a v c I Entertainment hat. That's how
bad it is. Say this. I'm not down with Dark Knight the Scarecrow.
By the way, guys, the first film freaking fantastic. Yeah.
Yeah, there's more the Deflect. There's more Ultraman releases coming out of maybe
Ultraman. Maybe this is next. So it's the anniversary release and that'll be
this month. I think I'm a month but uh, there's some good releases
here that second, like Itchcock sett the four K one. That's guys,
you have a doubt on it, which is by fire and large, I'm
gonna say it right now, one of the best movies of all time.
Cursed. I'm gonna say it, it's underrated. It's curse is underrated,
it's erted. But God is the c G I bad in it? It
is horrible. But but but again, like did you remember that what's the
one that might could parade? It? Done by Eric Eric Rhett I got
in my collection, like kept names this Escapement when you guys know it,
But like that one had horrible CGI two, but it was a great better
film. Listen, yeah, but now this is a fun films, a
lot of decent actors and in this movie Treasure with the four crowns, I'm
pretty sure Brian Brian Sower just the disks yep, gorgeous look and release as
it looks like you put some separately, Mynie, is there separately? Are
they coming separately or they're all coming out individually as well. But that's the
crazy thing is you can buy the collection for like forty five or fifty dollars,
or you can buy them all individually for twenty. So if you are
interested in even just a couple of them, buy the collection. Do you
have the first sun I do? Or no? How did I? Oh
that's what they did. So the first one they put out the four K
Steel Books through best Buy first, and then they released the collection, and
I had already had the first two steel books and they all matched, so
I said, I really liked the way these look together. I'll just get
the couple others for this because I didn't see them putting out a second collection.
What do you think? Do you think that the upgrade four capra was
worth it? Oh? Absolutely? The Hitchcock look amazing in four K because
I have the Blu ray set of like the you know, Big Catch I
set, which I'm sure you probably get to. Uh, So I want
to get them, but I don't. It's doubling over so it is.
Yeah, any new features, I don't think there are any new features on
any of them. If I remember me, like it might be like this
set has one Shadow of Doubt, Saboteur Marnie. Uh what else was on
there? Sabateur, Shadow of Doubt, the Trouble with Harry Marney and family
plot. You can probably get the Saboteur and Shadow out on their own,
guys. Yeah. The the other titles are are okay Hitchcock tittles, but
I'll be honest with you, they're not like the highest quality. Oh,
yeah, they're second tier by far. Yeah they're third tier, that's true.
Yeah, second tarer is like Frenzy and stuff like that, which I
love. I actually love Friends. I think it's highly underrated and the most
post what Hitchcock would would have done if they would have on shocked them a
bit. But yeah, the the Cinderella released, I think that's an older
like Full Moon title, like like seventies esh. Yeah, so they might
be watchable as opposed to the new stuff, which it hurts me because I
was. I had I was going to open up like a comic shop at
one point, and I actually uh, one of the first things I did
was I I called a bunch of different distributors and I called full Moon and
Fullman actually when the actresses actually at the time that that answered the phone.
Uh. And I was getting like full Moon cards and like a bunch of
like full Moon, like I think that's comics at the time that we're out,
so and I was going to get some of the Full Moan vhs.
Oh, but unfortunately Storre didn't didn't come to pass, which is a chain.
But but I used to love when I was when I was in college,
full Moon, would they were the company that every weekend when when there
was a Full Moon release and you went out like you to get that release.
And if I was in my first chairs and I was at a house
and I I like lived with like four remutes. But my second year,
I was in dorm and we would go we would like rent like the we
would make sure that we pre rented the Full Moon movie that came out,
and we would sit back and we watch the subspecies and like the kind of
the crazy fun stuff transfers and yeah, transers and do man thirteen inches with
an attitude? Oh man? So yeah, good week of stuff coming out.
Lots of announcements this week. There are so much stuff happening. One
thing I wanted to highlight. I put out a video yesterday letting everybody know
that May for me is going to be the month of Vinegar Syndrome. And
my first video for that is dropping tomorrow afternoon, and it is. It
is a very fun one. It's not one that people have had a lot
of access to, so I will say that much. It's really really great.
If you're curious in some of the partner labels, I've got some interesting
stuff coming out this month for you. Even though it's all vinegar syndrome,
there are partner label stuff that's gonna be on sale as well, so highlighting
as match much of that as I can. I think we can probably call
it a night. Aaron, I think we did it. We've made it
through and oh deflex. Yeah, so Ultraman. Maybe it is a DVD
release, but it does include all these specials that that that was done the
year. Maybe this was the year. I think it was like the fortieth
year for Ultraman, So it was a big it was a big release.
I appreciate you. Thank you for taking the time and giving your expertise to
all of this that this is. There's a lot of stuff that you give
context to and that's why me and my wife both call you the professor because
there's so much to learn from me I have. It's my pleasure and I
always love coming on here. It's it's always it's always a fun it's always
a fun ride, and I always find stuff that I don't know that's gonna
be released. So money sometimes I do that to people. Now you're doing
it to me. Man. You make me spend money that I didn't think
I do. Guest, thank you for everything. If anybody has any questions,
put them in the descript or in the comments below. You know I'm
here happy to answer and, as I always say, form one collector at
all of you. Have a good night. We'll see you next Thursday,
and lots of videos coming out between now and then.
