Hey, hey, everybody, how are we doing. Welcome back to Reconnected.
I hope everybody is well. I hope the week is treating everybody well.
Nice to spend some time back with friends. I'm exhausted. I feel
like I barely got here on time again. Very busy Thursday night with the
family. I had my oldest had cub Scouts tonight and got to go up
and transition to the next rink and have ice cream after and all that,
and dashed home just to spend time with my closest friends. And that's you.
How is that, everybody. It's nice to see you. I'm glad
you're here. I am trying to cool down. I'm noticing that I look
like I just woke up because it is hot as hell here all of a
sudden. We were talking about that in the discord this week. It is
like miserably hot. It got I think it got down to like thirty five
ish last week and today he got to like ninety ninety one here, ninety
one, ridiculous. Let's check in. See who's here, Maximus, my
friend? How are we? Eric? Glad you made it? Antwine?
Hey, hey, Mitchell, Sean, what's going on my dude, li'sa
Sulaco eighty eight? What's going on? Glad you're here? Neil, you
made it? Hey, Hey, this whole week has been exhausting, completely
agree. Let's see. Just put in my first order for some imprint Blu
ray titles. Nice. Hopefully you got him for a good deal. I
know that those can be very expensive of s artists. What's going on?
There's a title that got announced today. I'm gonna read the synopsis tonight because
it made me immediately think of you, and I don't know if you saw
it, because it sounds it sounds wild, so I'm definitely gonna be picking
it up. What's going on, Bubba Fett? John, what's going on?
Crazy busy? I'm glad you're here tonight. Hopefully it's an off night
and h hopefully the team's doing well. I haven't paid attention much this year
because the Royals suck this year. Hot here in central Illinois, you are
very close to flip. Yeah, it is. It is hot here in
the Midwest. It is crazy movies, by e. What's going on?
Hey, Jeff Terry? How are you? How do we say this?
JJ? Steig wo Yeah, humidity is super high. Oh, and I
can't imagine. Mississippi's probably really bad with that humidity right now, All right,
tonight, we're gonna talk about all our announcements like we always do.
There were some decent ones this week, but not a ton which is good.
I think it gives us time to talk about some other stuff. We
got some sales coming up, we can discuss those. I kind of want
to check in see how everybody's feeling about my vinegar Syndrome month that I've been
doing on the channel, see what you think. And beyond that, because
I don't have a guest tonight, it's a little less awkward. We're gonna
do the movie games that we did a few weeks ago. I think it's
fun. I haven't done them in a while. It's been, in fact,
I think since the last time I did them live with you guys.
So yeah, it's it's been a while and I like doing them, so
hopefully you like doing them too. Also, there was something else I wanted
to bring up. Shoot, I will probably remember as we go on.
So what do you say, let's get into some announcements. Huh, let's
see twenty to eleven. Geez, well, at least you had an early
night relatively. John Hey, Hey, Sartas says, I used to live
in Montana. Is that what you're saying, Carmel, Illinois? I is
it Carmel. I know that there's a few cities with that name, and
they all pronounce them differently, so I don't know. I don't know.
I don't know how that one is pronounced. I know when I was in
California, there's a city called Carmel, and they are they are very on
it if you say Carmel differently? What's going on? Cam Glad you're here
all right? Jumping into it first? One tonight we got some Corman reprints
kind of but the big thing and actually, let's talk about reprints because we're
gonna be talking about that a little bit tonight. Maybe I should keep that
up. Just what I can share what I'm talking about. KHT. This
came out as a limited edition title by Scream Factory or Shout Factory, same
company, different line, whatever, and it was one of the limited titles,
so it was sold out pretty quickly. You can't get this in the
US on Blu Ray anymore. Nles's a secondhand. A lot of people are
complaining about the reprints and the stuff coming out again, like one of the
ones we're about to talk about, because I got announced last Friday, and
reprints are odd. One of the things, like I don't love when things
get re released, you know, four and five times in the same place.
For example, the one that we're about to talk about, just to
get the cat out of the bag is a Texas chainsaw masker movie that a
lot of people have because it was out from Screen Factory for a very long
time and now it's coming out on four K. I like that we're getting
an upgrade. But something like this is less aggravating for me because it's a
completely different region and I think more people need to pay attention to that.
So this came out in the US, and it had a wide release here
in the US, but you couldn't get it necessary necessarily if you lived everywhere
else. So like this is coming out in the UK. It's not a
big deal to me because a lot of people that didn't have access now can
get access to this movie. Now. If like Severin released this and they
did the exact same thing, uh, that would be that would be less
desirable for me, obviously, because there's no reason to reprint this, but
it's a Corman titles that wouldn't even be possible. But that's that's silly to
talk about. Uh, Tom V. What's going on? Haven't I feel
like I haven't seen your name in a while. How you been? Oh
stupid me? I think? Yeah, Oh, the the mt was both
capitalized, That's why I thought that. But you meant Mount Carmel or Carmel.
Okay, that makes a lot more sense. Yeah, I don't even
know that I've heard that one set out loud, so I don't know if
it's Carmel or Carmel Chester. I do believe that is. I do believe
that is the the Carmel California. Yes, And I went up there one
time because my grandma was uh my grandma was an interior decorator for a very
long time, and she happened to do some rich people's houses, like weird
random rich people like uh othern California. We had a lady that got divorced
from her husband and one I can't remember what it was. It was a
certain line of truck stops. She won in the divorce, like eight truck
stops and sold them all for like a million dollars each, and so she
bought this really nice house and she gave my grandma, like, here's four
hundred thousand dollars. Decorate it however you want that kind of thing. So
yeah, we went up to Carmel to see this lady because they were close
friends. And Carmel is very like hoity toity. I mean, if you're
going to dairy Queen, pick me up some Maximus. Let's take a look
at these. Okay. One on One Films is putting out Caged Heat.
This is from nineteen seventy four. This is a, like I said,
a Roger Corman title in the US. Shout has the rights to this,
and they still put it out as a limited title for who knows what reason.
Only Shout they could just print these. So yeah, this is coming
out in a new region, so not that big of a deal. My
wife passed a small cough to me on again. I apologize. I will
try to mute every time. I'm going to next one. Another Corman title.
They're also putting out Crazy Mama. This is another one that shall put
out on a limited Blu ray. Again, there was no reason for it
to be limited, but I'm glad now that other regions can pick this up.
And Corman obviously produced a lot of movies, but some of these are
surprisingly decent, and I'm just glad that other people will have a chance to
get the art, and one of one's been doing a pretty good job lately,
so I will I will say that, although maybe I should hold up
on speaking too soon there after. What is going on with the Johnny Knamonic
release? Has everybody else heard that? I have not received mine yet because
I ordered it with oh what it? I think? I ordered it with
some eighty eight films titles that have not been released yet from Diabolic, and
everything I'm hearing is that the Blu Ray release of Johnny Tomonic looks worse than
the last DVD release, which is a very negative feeling if that is true,
Like there is zero reason why in twenty twenty two, any Blu Ray
release should look worse than the previous DVD release. And if that is the
case for a title like this, and you know, not that, not
that, not that Johnny Tomonic is a classic necessarily because it's not. But
it's a Keanu Reeves title, and he's got like a lot of Hollywood pool
pool that was a weird way to say that. A lot of Hollywood pool
and you would think that they would do a better job with it, just
to make sure that they're keeping up appearances, will say it that way.
But yeah, from what I hear, it is not something that looks great.
The packaging looks great, but for me, I certainly certainly want the
movie to look good. Okay, So this is one that I totally forgot
was this week. I feel like this was like a week and a half
ago. Keino has added forty titles to their Wild Supplies Last Sale, which
means these are going out of print. Mitchell, Yes, we are going
to go into that because some other people have started other rumors. So yeah,
we're gonna talk about that, and John and everybody don't feel bad about
picking U Johnny and Amnic the movie. The movie's decent, and it's kind
of hard to sugarcoat it, Like if it really does look that bad,
I don't want to stand up for it necessarily. And I've not heard if
it was going to get a replacement disc. It could just be what they're
going with. They could say the print that we were given is all that
we could do. So here is Johnny Moonic. It looks like crap.
Sorry, but I hope that's not the case. I hope that they get
enough complaints that it does get addressed. Johnny and Tomonic is the title that
a lot of people have wanted for a long time, even though it's again
not the greatest movie, but it's one that it's one that a lot of
people, especially around our generations, really held held near and dear when they
were younger because of the time that it came out and all of that.
I'm gonna get back to this real quick. So Keena lober while supplies last
is the going out of print sale basically, so they look at these titles
and they say, our license is expiring, we are going to sell off
the rest of what we have for the cheapest possible price. And they added
forty more titles to the list, and these are all priced very fairly.
So if you do want some of these, I would highly suggest picking them
up. I had planned on, you know, kind of speculating that some
of them were going to be well. If you notice on the list there's
a lot of Vava titles. I had kind of been speculating inside inside my
old brain that somebody else is probably picking these up. Maybe Arrow got the
rights for the US and that's what's gonna happen. But I've been doing some
research and it sounds like when Arrow lost their rights in the UK it was
because the estate that owns all of the Vava titles wants a huge sum of
money to license them again. So I'm not necessarily sure that these are going
to get another release. On the other hand, I would hope that some
of these would come to four K, so I'm not entirely sure. I'm
not saying, you know, go panic buy all of these. However,
if there are some titles on here that you've been wanting for a long time,
just for peace of mind and so that you have a copy of it,
I might buy these. And keep in mind Keno is fifty dollars free
shipping, and they ship ups so it comes quickly and it's usually very well
packed. So if there's enough that you want here, perhaps take a look
at it. I again, don't take this as gospel that it's not going
to come, but everything I'm reading is making it sound like whoever is the
license holders for all of the Vava titles, they want a hefty sum and
if that's the case. I don't see them selling well enough for like a
four K box set. The uh what was the name of the aerobox set.
I think it was macab visions that green box set when they were all
going out of print and they packaged them all together. I would have loved
to have seen that in a four K box and inside I was kind of
hoping that they were coming, But it sounds like that's not going to be
the case. Sadly, artist says, how cheap are these these range?
Some of the going out of print titles are literally as cheap as like four
ninety five, but then they range all the way up to I think i'm
a high end about twelve ninety five. So some of them, like the
Bava titles I think are hitting around seven seven ninety five, which isn't bad.
So you can get you know, say, if it's if it's actually
eight dollars a piece, you can get seven of those and get free shipping,
and that's pretty good. That's basically sale prices. John in the chat
works at UPS says, you're welcome on that vast livery man. Sorry,
I'm starting to cry now, good thing, I've got a cough. Drop
down here. Let's see Mitchell totally bought that Night Stocker release and it's glorious.
That is a really good one. Anthony says, I don't mind reprints.
I personally do not collect for the overall collection, everybody should be able
to get their hands completely agree, completely agree. The only reason I said
I don't love the reprints. I would love I would love somebody like Vinegar
Syndrome to to continue doing what they used to do, which is invest in
things that were lost or on the verge of being lost, or things that
you know, we're video store staples. But the big thing is they're still
doing that. It's kind of a half of one, was it? Half
dozen of one? Six of another. They are able to They're able to
fund, you know, ten of these releases just by putting out something like
Rad and having it sell very well. And when we get a new classic
on our hands, it starts things. You know, the community learns about
Vinegar Syndrome, Beast Master, Rad, Spooky's Fade to Black. Those are
all titles that brought fans to a company like Vinegar Syndrome that maybe never would
have heard of them. And you know, accounts like mind post things and
you guys share them and everybody appreciates that, and they get more money to
invest in more titles. Why am I speaking about vinegar syndrome so much when
we're looking at a picture of Keno, Let's go back to Keno. So
some of the other ones on here that I would suggest, and again a
lot of these are Bava So Barren Blood, Abay of Blood, Black Sabbath,
Black Sunday. Those are all kind of must haves, must sees at
least once five dollars for in August. Moon is pretty good. Kill Baby
Kill as a classic Lost Highway is the Lynch title, which did not come
out that long ago, and it appears to be coming in four K from
Criterion, so if you'd rather have a four K it should be coming out
soon. Janice Films, they've posted about it many times. They're playing the
new four K restoration in theaters. That is essentially a guarantee that it's coming.
Monster Dog is the Nightstock and The Night Strangler, which this picture is
from. I suggest both of those, they're both really good. And then
one that doesn't get a lot of talk that I genuinely appreciate, Space Camp.
Space Camp is kind of cheesy, but it's it's overall it's really fun.
For when it came out it's it's pretty funny. And then of course
wrapping it up at the bottom, you cannot go wrong with Trilogy of Terror.
Karen Black is amazing, she looks great, the stories are great.
It's the little anthology. It's three movies. Obviously, Trilogy of Terror not
movies, but segments that make up a movie, and Trilogy of Terror is
just fun overall, especially that last story. All that is, man,
Hey, hey, what's going on? Brian love space camp in the ADC.
And it honestly it still holds up pretty well. Hey, Ken,
what's going on? Glad to have you all right? Next up? Okay,
let's let's discuss it. So Vinegar Syndrome casually. In their newsletter last
week on Friday, they started to hype up the sale and they said,
by the way, we're released seeing Texas Chainsawmaskar Part two in four K this
year. So if you want be a halfway subscriber just casually at the end
of their email, what how do you just casually drop that? I mean,
that's that's crazy. This is a this is a big title. This
is like this. I mean, I hesitate to say it, but this
might be one of the biggest titles, well, probably the most mainstream title
that they put out on the Vinegar Syndrome line other than Rad, and that
is that is a big deal. And honestly, it might be bigger than
Rad, especially nowadays. Is Rad is a very cult movie. But so
this is crazy that they're putting this out. Obviously this is because they have
a deal with MGM. Now, a lot of people saw this and immediately
speculated, shit, Vinegar Syndrome is only going to be putting out reprints of
four K titles that Screen Factory had go out of print. I don't necessarily
see that being the case. I see some titles that deserve it. Bubba,
you are right, I totally forgot since that just came out. Death
Wish two is pretty big. But yeah, there is a lot that they
can still do with this. Some of the people that are in the movie,
especially Bill Moseley, very much still alive, and chop Top is arguably
the biggest, arguably the biggest part of Texas Chainsawmscar Part two. So yeah,
I imagine there's gonna be new features. I imagine this is gonna look
really good in four K. This is a big deal, and honestly,
born to b Rad is right. It is bigger than RAD. I was
trying trying to give RAD the respect it deserves, but it's certainly bigger.
There is a lot of other stuff that could come with a potential MGM deal
though, and huh Ken brings up polter guys too, killer clowns, child's
playcarry are vinegars next MGMs? I, unless you know something I don't,
that's a that's a lot to put out there. Some of those I could
see them choosing to do, but others maybe not. If they could get
access to a couple of those, I think it would be a big deal,
but I I don't know. We'll see. There's there's a lot that
could potentially happen, and until we know more details, until we see more
of like a pattern, it's kind of it's kind of messed up to speculate
too much because we can hope, and we can we can hope and wish,
but at the same time, you don't want to build yourself up to
where you're disappointed by what they put out or don't put out. And I
don't know, there's there's a lot. Uh. I I stand Christopher that
there's a lot of releases of the same titles, But again, if something's
been out of print for years like this has been, literally other people getting
a chance at these movies is not a bad thing to me, that's a
great thing. And again, nobody's forcing you to buy these and I the
only other argument that I do understand is the people that bring up since they're
putting out Texas chainsawm Asker Part two, does that mean we're not getting other
releases that would have been lost? And I don't see that being the case.
All I see this being is them able to fund titles that never would
have been released necessarily. So yeah, there's a lot they can do.
And Tom says is Return of the Living Dead MGM, Yes, that has
been out of print for a while, but again, we never got the
real full Return of the Living Dead in the US, the only one.
Do I have it close to me? Do I have this in a plastic
bag in a protector so it may glare a lot? This is the only
Return of the Living Dead on Blu ray in the world that has the entire
soundtrack intact. This is the second site that's awful. Second site Steel book
release of the Return of the Living Dead, and I I could see them
doing justice for that one. Return of the Living Dead is a very punk
title, and yeah, it makes sense for them. John says, this
is a good thing. Can't wait to see the TLC they put into the
disc. They've done nothing to make us think otherwise. I agree, and
I hope they sell ten thousand copies so we get more aim into that.
That's exactly exactly what I see. Let's see. Hilton says the air on
TCM two is stacked with extras, including old Toby student films. Hope VS
carries over. That would be nice. Those never saw release in the US,
so those potentially could be a different rights holders. I don't know if
those are licensed anywhere, if they're just a part of his estate now,
because I if I remember right, I think the UK release was done before
he passed, so who knows on that front. Anyways, We've talked about
this enough. The merits of this coming out in four K is another thing
to talk about real quick. A lot of people have said this can't look
that great in four K. I disagree. I mean, this is the
kind of movie that is going to shine in four K, and the original
one that is also coming out this fall in four K from Second Site that
just got a four K release in Germany. I guarantee you this is that
one's gonna look great in four K as well. Second Site does amazing work.
Moving right along. Speaking of reprints, this is the kind of reprint
I don't really support. So Synapse Films announced Massacre at Central High in a
steel Book release a little bit ago. I think it was twenty twenty that
that came out, and it's a great movie. I love this movie.
I bought the steel Book primarily because they said a standard edition is not on
the horizon and if it happens someday then we'll see. But just like clockwork,
the Syneps standard edition happened. So we're getting Masker at Central High.
This is coming just in time for school this fall September thirteenth, and I
highly suggest it. This is a really fun film. It goes way over
the top compared to what you expect from a movie like this. It's got
fun action, it's got fun kills, it's got some really wacky choices in
it, but overall a really unique movie. I again I'm glad that this
is going to be able to be in the hands of more people. But
at the same time, sell it at the same time as the Steel book.
Announce the release, you know, have this come out, Sell this
at the exact same time as the Steel book, and that way everybody wins,
and even you know, I've talked about the Steel Book being I think
it was fifty or sixty bucks being overpriced, and I agree it still is.
However, put this out at the same time and sell it for twenty
eight bucks and you're making a lot of money. All kinds of people that
love steel books can steal buy the Steel book, and after this they'll have
the opportunity to buy this if they don't want the Steel book. Everybody wins,
including Synaps, and Synaps looks better because they're doing both at the same
time, and fans are happier. Maddie, Hey, hey, now they
have a cheaper standard after two years. What the heck? Glad I didn't
buy it originally. I I'm doing the same thing with the current one that
they have out there for the Tombs of the Blind Dead. I don't know
that I want the Steel Book, and you just know they're going to put
out a standard eventually. That's the hard part. I'm the ice lord.
How's everybody doing? Glad to see you? Do you think Synapse is coming
off even a bit shadier considering the Thriller debacle? Well, here's the hard
part. So with a lot of these deals and stuff, we're never gonna
know the details of what happened behind the scenes. It does. It does
appear that SYNAPS was in the wrong on Thriller, but that doesn't mean that
they were malicious about it. They could have genuinely thought they had the rights.
But at the same time, when Vinegar Sentrom announced THEIRS, you would
think they would get in contact and get it, sort of get it,
you know, handled that way. It's not done publicly over like five months.
The worst thing that I think Synaps did there was when Vinegar Syndrome announced
THEIRS, SYNAPS put their release. They moved it up. Yeah, they
moved it up two or three weeks so that it released earlier. It.
I can't think of a logical explanation other than let's sell as many of these
as we can before the season desist comes into play. That's exactly what it
comes off as to me. If anybody else knows another reason, I would
love to, Okay, John says, listen to their podcast. They often
and clearly explain the reasons for steel Book first. I will consider that,
and I hope that you message me and tell me what the exact reason is.
Bubba Fett says they will released it in four K next year. That
one I don't necessarily agree with. I don't think Syneps is going to be
releasing everything in four K. People have said that simply because of the Argento
titles that they've worked on with the Arrow. But the bigger thing is Suspiria.
They released Aspiria and then a couple years later they released it in four
K. I don't think that they are at as bad as that, sorry
are as bad at releasing something in four K as somebody like Blue Underground.
There's a lot to unpack there, because, like I don't think Blue Underground
has really done anything wrong either. I just think Synapse was they released the
Suspiria and it came in any time when four K really hadn't taken hold yet.
But it's a giant title and it makes sense when it came in at
a four K scan to put it out on four K. But you got
to realize when they decided that they didn't just stop with the first scan,
put it on a UHD disc and call it a day, they still had
to do a lot more work to that file. They had to do HDR,
they had to do more color correction, they had to make sure that
everything still worked for the UHD, and that is a lot of work,
especially for a title like Suspiria where the colors are so damn important. The
Suspiria thing, I think was blown way out of proportion because a lot of
people when that got released still did not They still did not understand the merits
of four K and a title like Suspiria is one that is really going to
shine in four K, and it does. Is it is one of those
titles that you say, oh, you're considering getting a four K player,
sit down, let me show you how good it could look. Restoration for
a company like that is years. Literally, synapse is taken years on some
of these. It is something exactly John says, there are a small business.
Restoration is expensive, and beyond the restoration again, HDR, color grading,
the extra work that they did on the sound, all of that takes
a lot of time. It is so much work, so much manpower,
so much resources. It was not just a copy and paste from one Blu
ray disc to a four K disc. It was not that simple. So
I don't necessarily think Massacre at Central High is going to come on four K.
I think that I think that this is like Suspiria is a cult type
but Massacre at Central High is like a cult cult title, or to put
it better, like Suspiri is like a mainstream cult title. Masker at Central
High is not. This is one that doesn't have a league of fans that
has seen this, that have only watched you know, ten percent of horror
movies. Masker at Central High very much has a niche fan base. And
yeah, I don't see this going four K. Let's see Ken says,
have any idea why Blue under Ground hasn't put out Anguish on Blue or four
K? Do we know if they still have the rights? If they have
not put it out on Blue yet, which obviously they haven't, they either
don't have the rights or the elements are so messed up that they don't see
a way to it yet. I imagine if they do have the rights,
they would have done it by now. So yeah, that's a tough one.
Ken, I'm not entirely sure there. But anyways, Central High for
those that want the standard, still has all of these special features as the
Steel Book. I don't think there's any difference. Everything looked identical to me
unless somebody saw something I didn't. So if you have the Steel Book,
you're not missing anything. If you were holding out and you didn't buy the
Steel Book, you are not losing anything by getting this instead of the Steel
Book. But I highly suggest picking it up. It's a great movie,
John says, much like Fight for Your Life. Yeah, that one.
From what I hear, it will never have a Blu ray because the elements
are so messed up. But that DVD is still readily available and it looks
pretty good for a DVD. It's one of the better DVD releases. A
little bit of self promotion, a little bit uh Vinegar Central Month. I've
been putting out all kinds of stuff for Vinegar Central Month. I hope everybody's
been liking it. If you are, can you know if you are here?
Because of that, thank you, I have put out this interview with
Ross from Saturn's Core Audio and Video then early Monday this week I put out
tips for newbies, basically for the Vinegar Syndrome sill and then just yesterday I
put out volume one of like Quintessential Vinegar Syndrome titles, and I've got two
more of those that are gonna be coming out, and just a little sneak
peek at the rest of the slate coming out tomorrow. I have another interview
with a partner label that's coming out, and it's pretty pretty good. It
is very different from the Ross interview and I think that a lot of people
will like it. I am also open for suggestions. I got a couple
of days on my calendar that are still free for videos that I'm gonna put
out. I was waiting to see what people were gonna give with feedback,
see what anybody wanted. So if anybody has any ideas, hit me in
the comments below, hit me in the chat something that you would want to
see. I'm either already doing it, or I will try to do it,
or i will refer you to a video where I've already done it.
I will warn a lot of people are probably gonna ask about the subscription.
I am gonna do a little update on that and tell you why I think
it's worth it, but it is. It is a really good time to
be a Vinegar Syndrome fan. I think that they have an extremely exciting year
ahead of them, and this year already has been I mean, I kind
of hesitate to say it, but I think it's been the best year in
Vinegar Syndrome history so far. They've put out some of the the way way
like off the charts, better titles that they've ever put out. So next
up, every single week got to do it at least once. Let's see
who's this. Keno is putting out dead heat on the Merry Go Round.
I know nothing about this one as usual, stars James Coburn and directed by
Bernard Girard. If anybody's seen it, let's get some feedback in the comments
about it. Yeah, we don't know a release date or anything, but
it is coming. The big exciting one that they put out over the weekend,
Ronan with Robert de Niro is coming in four K and this is a
This is a big title. Arrow had this for a long time, obviously
had one of their better stands. Well it had a slipcover, but it
was like one of their standard releases. Wasn't a hard box, but this
is interesting. I'm sure they're they're gonna be able to get a lot of
the special features that Arrow had. I would see a lot of people that
were missing the Ronin release really going crazy over this one. So make sure
that you get your pre order in for this. This is like, this
is one of the bigger, kind of more modern titles. Obviously it's not
as modern as something like Eternal Sunshine, but nineteen ninety eight is pretty modern,
and it's de Niro, it's a big name. And then obviously Frankenheimer
and Stolen Scars, Guard God, everybody is in this. This is a
great movie. Ronan is a lot of fun. If you've never seen it,
it is, it's wild. But yeah, this is getting a good
four K Doby vision HDR Master. I'm sure this one's gonna look amazing.
We got some release details for one that it's kind of exciting for me,
So I'm dangerous tonight. This is a Toby Hooper film, and this is
coming on July twenty sixth. You can pre order this now from the Keno
site or from Amazon. In all of my posts about this, I've got
the link to Amazon, and I thought the link to the Keno site was
on here, but it looks like it's not. I do suggest if you
are going to be getting them from Keno, make sure you're getting paying attention
because the prices on keynot are generally cheaper than everybody else, and not just
by like a dollar, by like three or four dollars, So that adds
up. What's going on? Courtney, glad you're here. That's my sister.
Hello, you're my favorite. Uh, let's see I'm dangerous. Tonight,
we got r Lee, Ermie, Dee Wallace, Anthony Perkins. This
one has a new audio commentary. We've got the editors of American Twilight,
the cinema of Toby Hooper, so they're gonna know a lot about him.
And then a new audio commentary by filmmaker and historian Michael Varatti. New interview
with Dee Wallace, who seems to be at every single horror convention. So
I'm I'm just glad that they got her. I'm glad that they got new
interviews. And then there's archival stuff on here, new video essay by Chris
O'Neill, and yeah, this one it sounds decent. This is one that
I'm definitely gonna get what's up Jake Odd? But uh so another bit of
self promotion, I guess because I got a thousand subs last week thanks to
all of you guys. I turned on the super thanks and the super Chat.
So if you ever want to use those, I'm never gonna push for
it, never gonna beg for money, but it helps the channel. It
helps me to be able to do things like pay for the streaming service that
costs money, and editing software and everything else that comes with this. Obviously
I'm paying out of pocket for a lot of this stuff, but yeah,
it's there if you want it, and yeah, if the ads ever get
too intrusive, let me know. Then we got some Umbrella announcements, and
this is when we're gonna talk about one of those reprints that we were meeting
up earlier. So the Love Which is coming. This got a release from
Oscilloscope in the US, and this is coming from Umbrella. They're beyond Genre's
line. These are coming with a limited edition slipcover. Always really great art.
These slip covers on these are beautiful. I know it's an odd thing
to point out on some of these, but the beyond genres line. If
you have, all of the slips look really good together. I wish I
had got them from the beginning. This one also limited to one hundred,
so it's honestly by this point probably sold out. If you buy it direct
from Umbrella, you get the Love Which tarot card deck with art cards and
an A three reversible poster. But this also features from the same director,
Viva, which got a Keto Lber release, so as what basically amounts to
like a twenty dollars title, this turns out to be an amazing package.
This looks really good, Maddie says, I'm trying to get Toby Hooper complete
this year nice and I'm dangerous Tonight is one I need to get. That's
a good one. Do you think Love Which will be region free? I
can't get garantee it, but my guess will be yes. It likely will
be. Pretty much everything that Umbrella puts out has been region free, although
like I've said before, you can't ever count on distributors all being region free
because it depends on the license the license holders. However, I think that
there's some different copyright laws in Australia and it seems like everything that comes out
of Australia, not everything, most things. Almost everything that comes out of
Australia is region free, so I think that there's some ways that they get
around that, which is nice. I'm glad that they're able to do that
de cater to people in other parts of the world. I'm probably not supposed
to be showing those animated nipples, but hey, here we are. The
Love which the next one in the Beyond genre's line, or I guess the
previous one because that was twenty and this is nineteen, but the immediate cult
classic title featuring the man Rutger Howerd, who is just ridiculously great in this
film. And I really hope if you've never seen this film, I really
hope you give this film a fair shake because this is this is an odd
one. It's not like it's not like the Greasy Spingler odd, but it's
like a modern exploitation flick taken to the next level and it's it's amazing.
Hobo with a Shotgun is great. The art on this is amazing too.
But check this out. So world first release of Hobo with the Shotgun on
VHS it is twenty twenty two and Umbrella is legitimately printing Hobo with the Shotgun
on VHS limited to the first one hundred sales of this and they are I
don't know what where that was out of my mouth? They are they are
selling one of their new air refresheners that they're putting out with a bunch of
stuff as well. Yeah, this looks like a fun release. Again.
They've got all kinds of stuff on here. They've got the audio commentaries with
the director and Rucker Hower himself. None of these are new, but they
are all together and it's very very good. Again, if you don't have
it, this is pretty much a must own and a must watch. This
is great. Zach, how you doing? Glad you're here? Next from
Umbrella, we got Dead Kids. So this has been released in the US
by Severn and I will say I kind of hate this movie. Yeah,
I don't like this movie. I think it's pretty boring. Overall, the
osploitation classics line has done very well for them, and a lot of the
movies are very good. I just don't like this one. If you've never
seen it, I won't say don't watch it, because again, it might
be your new favorite movie, but it is not one that I love.
Let me see. I think there's alternate artwork as well. Huh maybe not
maybe if you flip it over. But either way, so this is limited
to one hundred. They have the big full sized day bill poster here in
the back that you see, and then the first thousand get the Tangerine Dream
soundtrack. But John says ten Baba titles from Keno out of my way because
my scare tactics work. You're welcome, okay, Jeff, I will say,
I do not like this movie, Zach, like Dead Kids. It
has nice visuals. I mean, yeah, it's filmed pretty well. I
can say that. And uh, I got who does it say? Who
directed this? Michael Laughlin co director. I don't remember who the other director
was. Okay, so this has exclusive features on it though that were not
on the Severn release. So if you like this movie, there's some good
reasons to get this. You've got the lead it scenes, stills, some
postry gallery, Anthony I Ganine trailer reel, the not Quite Hollywood Extended interview
with the producer, all kinds of archival feature ats. There's a lot on
here. It's a good release of a movie. I just don't love it.
Maximus says, that's quite a sentence to Zach's I like Dead Kids.
That was pretty good. Maddie says, Severne was teasing a needle in the
eye. That's very similar to that if Dead Kids and they're halfway to Halloween
sale. I believe that was for Faceless, the Jess Franco title that they
just did at what was that cinema, Wasteland or whatever. Yeah, I
believe that was the Franco needle in the eye if I remember right. In
fact, I think nope, I don't have it near me anymore. I
had a media book with the Franco one. I don't have it by me
though. Next one, Lieutenant Jingles, this is from twenty eighteen, and
again, not a great movie it is. It is very much a modern
film. This is from twenty eighteen. Like I said, so it feels
modern and it feels this is one of those movies that feels like it's trying
to be tongue in chic and because of that, you can feel like it's
trying to be tongue in cheek and it doesn't really work at least for me.
Again, might be your new favorite. I have the old release of
this that was in the US that was from Oh gosh, who was that
from. I think it was Scream Team Releasing put this out in the US,
and it's it's okay. I definitely wanted a lot more from it,
but it's again a good release. The Day One Boys commentary track with a
lot of people involved in it, fan commentary with co creators, making of
documentary, antipai, all kinds of featurets. I'm not going to name them
all since they're twenty nine seconds long, it would take as long to read
them. I don't think there's anything exclusive to this that is not on the
US release, So if you already have that one, there's not a real
reason to upgrade here. This is the full package they're going with, So
there is a poster if you're into that. But again, I mean Screen
Team Releasing sold a poster in the US as well, So not a whole
lot that is compelling about this one. But again, it's a good thing
that another region gets to have some of the art that they didn't have before
without importing it. That's a big deal. Importing is a very niche thing,
and while we're looking at this, we should keep that in mind because
a lot of us, like, I've got UK titles behind me that you
can see. I've got stuff from Germany probably what you can see right there.
I've got stuff from a lot of countries. I messaged a friend of
mine on Instagram who's going to Brazil this summer and he may be picking up
a title for me from Brazil because I don't have anything from Brazil. So
hoping to do something about that soon. I love him, But a lot
of people they don't get into that. So this gives those in Australia a
chance to see this movie that I'm saying is bad. So who wins?
I don't know, Uh, but the Big One Okay, So this has
a lot of not really drama but information with it. So Goolies one or
two is coming out from Umbrella. First of all, kind of a cool
cover. They're going very retro with it with the with the VHS stickers on
here and is there anything else or just the back? Just the back?
So what's cool here? Let me see if I think I can highlight it?
So new here two extended TV cuts with extra footage taken from archival VHS
recordings. So these are getting footage that were not footage that was not not
were not footage that was not in the screen factory release. Now, when
this got announce Diabolic DVD just a couple hours later, Jesse from Diabolic went
on Twitter and said, if you're in the US, don't pick this up
because you may want to wait, which means somebody else is putting this out.
It is likely coming this fall and immediately because some of our hints about
the main secret titles. I believe this is why. Because one of them
mentioned Creature Feature and some other people were looking at the titles coming from the
Vinegar Syndrome subscription for the rest of the year, a lot of people immediately
thought Vinegar Syndrome is putting out Goolies one and two and four K. I
even saw somebody on Facebook say Vinegar Syndrome just confirmed they are putting out Goolies
one and two and four K. They have not confirmed that, and in
fact it appears that they have shot that down that they are not putting this
out on four K in the US. Now, there has been at least
one in the past when Vinegar Syndrome did say we are not putting out Miami
Connection, and then just a couple months later announced Miami Connection was coming in
four K. Now with Miami Connection specifically, I believe that one was because
they found the new the the UH, they found the elements that were previously
thought to be destroyed and Hurricane Sandy now either. In fact, I don't
think they found those ones. I think they found another print that they were
able to restore. So I again, I don't think that they Vinegar Syndrome
was malicious in saying that they were not putting out Miami Connection. But with
this one, I think that if they had this one and it was coming,
I think they would have said it. Well, even if they didn't
say it, they definitely would not have said we are not doing it.
That's a that's a lot of integrity to put on a company, and if
they do that, a lot of people will not trust them anymore. So,
yeah, there's a lot to make sure that we keep expectations in line
with something like that. Let's see, this is the retro sci fi double
feature Volume four coming from Umbrella. We got Battlestar Galactica and Buck Rogers in
the twenty fifth century. The Battlestar Galactica that's from seventy eight I don't does
anybody know if that has a US release? I'm not sure on that one.
I know Buck Rogers does, and that is out from Keno, and
usually when it's on sale it is very cheap. And then they also have
the big Buck Rogers box set that has the movie in there as well.
But I'm not sure about the Battlestar Galactica. I don't think that is out
on Keno Quiet Robbins as the movie does, so probably yeah, So if
that's got a US release, I don't see a reason to double dip on
this necessarily if you're in the US. But again, people in Australia,
they get a chance to own it. Another double feature, we got The
Andromeda Strain and The Ground Star Conspiracy. I don't think I've ever seen the
ground Star Conspiracy, and that one says a break in and sabotage attempt occurs
at a top secret research institute and the culprit is cornered and captured. The
problem is that he's been badly injured and claims to have lost his memory entirely.
A cat and mouse game ensues between investigator Tucson, the mystery intruder Wells,
and the people who sent him on the mission. It sounds interesting at
least it sounds it sounds very like Jason Bourne type. But I don't know.
I'd be given to watch at least once one of their retro horror usually
double or triple features. This one is a triple feature, and this is
volume three, and they are all Invisible Man films. We got The Invisible
Man Returns, the Invisible Woman, an Invisible Agent. Those are from nineteen
forty, nineteen forty and forty two. They were just pumping those out back
then. And then the next one from Umbrella. We got the Bloody Jungle
in Circus of Fear, both Christopher Lee films. That's a retro horror volume
two double feature. I think I remember, and I think both of these
have a let me see, I think both of these have the screen factory
released, right, Bloody Jungle? Oh maybe not? Hmm. Let's see
Circus. Oh, I was thinking of Circus of Horrors. That's not the
same thing, is it. No, that's ten years later. Hmm.
Very interesting. Okay, so we don't have those on screen factory. I
wonder if those have some are are from something else. Oh. Antoine says
Blue Underground that makes sense, all right, we are finally done with Umbrella,
and we we finally got details on Eternal Sunshine of the spot Mind.
We have been waiting on this. I think they announced this last March or
April, and something happened with where they were doing the restoration, and the
plant was closed for a long time. They were waiting on somebody to get
back from vacation. They were waiting on the COVID lockdown to be dropped over
there. I think it was in Spain or something, and this is finally
here, finally coming on July twenty sixth, comes in one of the new
Quinoliber slipcovers that they're releasing, and the only thing I think there's let's see,
I think there's one new featurette. Maybe yes, so this is a
brand new Dolby Vision HDR master Color graded by the cinematographer, and that it
has all of the old featurettes and then right here Memory Light new interview with
cinematographer Ellen Cross. I think that's how you say the last name. But
that's it. Everything else is all the same as the previous release. So
if you don't love this movie, this may not be a compelling upgrade for
you. I personally adore this movie and this is a day one er for
me. I think that the cast is one of the best ever assembled.
I think that the story is amazing. I think that Jim Carey puts on
probably a career best performance in this film, and it's just great. If
you've never seen it, I also highly recommend this movie. It is a
very, very touching and mature type of film. It really goes into a
lot of the dread of adulthood and relationships and what comes with it. It's
a good film. Next up, the next Kenot of four K. We
got some release details on June twenty sixth from Stanley Kubrick. We're getting The
Killing in four K, brand new Dolby vision HDR master, then a new
audio comment Harry by film historian Alan k Road. But that's it. That's
all that's on the disc is that new commentary and a trailer, and uh,
that's it. Nothing special other than those. Still gonna be a good
release. I'm sure to look great. I'm sure that this is one that
a lot of people are gonna get. And this is the alternate artwork.
Keno is doing really well with their four K upgrades. This year, and
I think that it is. It's going to be a very important year for
four K for them if these, if these continue to sell well, I
think that some of the classics that they have access to now are almost a
lock to come in four K. Flickering says, The Eternal Sunshine is brilliant.
Glad you agree, John says disappointed in the features, love the film,
looking forward to seeing it four K. I agree, and that that
alone is worth it for the upgrade for me. Oh Ken says, the
Killing is top three Kubrick, I think that's a hot take. I think
that's a very hot take, man. Top three, that's wow. I
don't even know about top five. Ken, Wow, you know it's not
Top three though. Two thousand one of Space honestly coming on June twenty seventh
from one to one Films as part of their black label line. We are
getting Rock and Roll High School, which, if you notice, at the
very beginning of this, we were talking about two one on one films titles
that were coming that were Roger Corman titles. This is also a Roger Corman
title, which means they clearly have a deal with Shout Factory for using the
rights to some of these Corman titles, and I foresee a lot of those
coming to the UK for the first time. Here is a look at the
case for Rock and Roll High School. And then they got this little book
that they're putting out as well, rock and Roll High Hi School coming with
it for the original limited edition release. This is from seventy nine and if
you've never seen it, highly recommend it. This one is This one is
fun. It's a very ramones heavy film. It's got PJ souls, it's
got punk, it's got silly seventies high school. It's good. And the
four K scan they're using from this is the Shout Factory one that was in
the Steel Book and it looks amazing. So if you don't have that Steel
book, I recommend this. I really do think it's gonna look good.
I think that you would enjoy the release. I think it's got kind of
It's one of those films that's pretty much got something for everybody. Let's see,
Ken, says Doctor Strangelove. The Killing and the Shining are top three
kubrick I HMM as of May twelfth, in twenty twenty two. I don't
know that I would agree with any of those three, and it's weird for
me to say that. I don't know that the Shining is top three for
me, but yeah, the Killing is definitely not for me, and Strange
Love is not top three for me. Quiet Rob, that's one of the
other ones. I think a Clockok Orange would be top three for me and
then I nowadays I might go eyes wise shut. I appreciate that so much
more than I used to, But it would either be that or full Metal
Jacket. I think that they're a great Flickering says, I love this one
enough, I would consider getting this just for the package. Yeah, there
is nothing new feature wise, They're just using the shot Factory features. Maddie
says, rock and Roll high School is an all time classic. Amen,
super fun without being cheesy. Even the human sized rats are hilarious. Yeah,
for this time, I think this is a really good one. I
think it was ahead obviously. The eighties we saw an explosion of like high
school films, and this one came out right before them, and I feel
like it doesn't get enough love nowadays. I think it gets overlooked for what
I think are the worst, not worst, but much worse films, things
like Revenge of the Nerds, which I still don't even know why the legacy
on that one is so high, but you know that, and the Porky's
and stuff like that. Just I'd much rather watch Rock and Roll High School
any day over those. Okay, let's talk about one of the big ones.
If you're in the US, Aero Video is sponsoring a sale through Grindhouse
Video. This is now that Grindhouse Video is open with their physical location in
Knoxville, Tennessee. This sale is going to be starting tonight tonight at midnight
Eastern Standard time. This is gonna be starting at twelve oh one, and
it's gonna be ending on June fifth. So this is kind of a long
sale. You got a lot of time to, you know, make some
make some decisions. It's gonna be at the same time as the Vinegar Syndrome
sale, so I would I would take a look at here, Take a
look at here, take a look at the sale. The prices you're gonna
see are gonna be fifty percent off of the MSRP for Aero titles, and
in the US they are dramatically more expensive than in the UK. So essentially
any of the standard type releases that are not like the hard box. I
think I got standard. Yeah, right there. This is the case of
the Scorpion's Tale. Most of the movies that are like this are gonna be
twenty bucks, unless they're the really old ones, then they're probably gonna be
somewhere between fifteen and seventeen. But this is this is a good chance.
If you're only wanting a few in the US, this is the probably like
the best you're gonna be able to get. Certain things like box sets.
I would plan on those being around thirty five to fifty ish, depending on
the box set. The one thing I'm curious about is if they're gonna be
selling things like the Shaw Brothers set, and is the Shoscope gonna be on
sale for a price that we have not seen yet, because I don't think,
although I gotta be honest, I did not look for it in that
last the actual arrow sale. Did anybody else see if Shoscope was on sale,
then let's see, Michel says, still waiting on battles with that honor
one through three. They sent four and five separately. I heard that though
they sold a lot of them because they were only five bucks, so they
needed to get some reprinted. So they're waiting on that shipment. Mattie says
funny in the middle of the Cubic draft on the screen Draft podcast. Oh
not to I'm just chilling for myself for everything. If you are not subscribed
to my second channel in the description below, I have a second channel called
Discovering Cinema where I do a show every Tuesday with my friend Flip. Next
Tuesday, we are we are full blown copying screen drafts, and we're gonna
do a draft our own live next Tuesday night at nine o'clock Central. It's
gonna be fun. Please tune in. I have to coffig in one second.
Aerosale. If there are certain things that you want, check it out.
Keep in mind a lot of times other places start to price match when
things go on sale like this, So take a look around. If you
are wanting you know, something else, or you're you're desperately wanting free shipping,
there might be a better price out there. But at the same time,
I honestly suggest not buying from something like Amazon. I highly suggest supporting
small business. I love Mike. I mean I had him on the show
just a couple months ago. I think that a sale like this does wonders
for that store and will help him quite a lot, especially now that he's
finally open in a new physical location. Wondering if that crazy discount for the
stylist that was in the earlier sale will show up this sale. Don't think
the Sharp Brothers set was discounted, that makes sense the stylist, by the
way, ighly recommend that movie. It is a local Kansas City film and
I loved it. It is a high like three and a half to four
for me and really well made. I maybe a little tease. I'm trying
to get the director on the show so we can talk about the stylist,
and she's here in Kansas City. Really good stuff. The extras on that
disc really go into like the heart of Kansas City and where they filmed and
all of that. I love it. I strongly suggest you pick up that
release. It's great. Next up kind of a cool thing. So we
got an announcement that I missed somehow because they made this account eight months ago,
and I don't know how to pronounce this out loud. Hopefully Angel can
drop into the chat eventually or in the comments and let me know how to
say this. If this is a Latin American term even I'm not sure I'm
gonna go with my very white voice and say ma Wu films or may Wu
films. This is a new independent UK Blu Ray distribution company specializing in multi
award winning African and Latin American cinema. The ethos of the company is to
bring rare masterpieces to light, selected from different decades and film movements. Our
aim is to stimulate discussion and nourish new conversations around revered classics so long hidden
from the world, which sounds amazing to me. I love that they're doing
this. Yes, John the stylist did just hit shutter just this week.
Using the best available material for our audience. Each limited edition will be paired
with an original poster, a documentary, an audio commentary, a booklet containing
a newly commissioned essay by a leading expert, short films, and original archival
material where available. I mean, that is all that I could hope for.
I love that they're putting so much into these. I love that they're
saying this is our hope to do these from the very beginning. I love
that they are trying to put their all into these. I love so much
that they are promoting other cultures films and really focusing on it and to me,
if you've paid attention to them, this feels to me like a lot
like Second Run feels that has teamed up with Arrow in the UK. They
do a lot of like Eastern European and titles like that. But yeah,
this this feels like a really great company to support, and the way to
support them is with this first release. Excuse me, man marked for death
twenty years later. This one is odd. It shows as available on their
site, but when you click on the Amazon link that they are promoting,
by the way, the company is telling you to buy from Amazon. Also,
even though they also sell it from their site, it shows as not
available. So I'm not entirely sure if this is actually out yet. I
can't find a release date. It looks like it was supposed to release on
April twenty sixth, but I'm not sure if that was actually the case.
This is from nineteen eighty four and it says part fictionalized true story and part
documentary, this extraordinary film sets out to tell the story of I don't know
how to pronounce that first name, Yo pedro teshera leader of the Sape peasant
League in northeast Brazil, who was murdered on orders from the landowners. Before
the film could be completed, a right wing military coup forced the closure of
its production and the imprisonment of several members of the crew. Decades later,
Kutinho returned to the original film location and, using surviving footage alongside interviews with
members of the original cast, including Pedro's wife Elizabeth, he created this compelling
commentary on Brazilian history, politics, and class conflict. I mean, this
is awesome. I love that they're doing this. I love that other other
sectors of the world, other cultures are gonna be able to get so much
of their history out there. I just I love. I love when companies
like this really dive deep and share what they know and can find. And
then, just like they said, the first limited edition three thousand copies will
be numbered, have an O card slipcase. It will have a collector's booklet
with new writing by Berkeley professor and Natalia Brazula, and limited edition fulled out
poster featuring the original design by Claudius Cacone with especially commissioned interview with the film's
producer. Award winning interview with the director and newly commissioned trailer on a region
free Blu ray. So by this everywhere correct flickering. I did not see
anything about them shipping to the US, and that's when I couldn't find it
for sale on Amazon in the UK. I don't know what to do.
I don't know if there's a way to get this. I was gonna message
Mark actually at Orbit and see if he can have access to it through one
of his distributors, but at this point not entirely sure. Just sharing the
word with everybody. Today Scorpion announced that they are putting out High Desert Kill
and this is the one that I wanted to share with sartists because it immediately
made me think of him. So I've not seen this. This is from
nineteen eighty nine. Mark Singer from The Beast Master, Anthony Geary from UHF,
and Micah Grant from Waxwork star as three hunters who become the hunted in
this riveting sci fi horror adventure set in the badlands of New Mexico. Awesome
three friends embark on a hunting expedition and meet a grizzled mountain man played by
Chuck fucking Connors awesome, who tells them that something is scared away all the
animals in the region As they find themselves reverting into primitive and bizarre behavior.
The men soon discover they are being manipulated in cruel experiments for a bloodthirsty al
in force. Their only hope for survival is to unite against the extraterrestrial in
this haunting made for cable chiller. So it's probably not super gory, probably
not you know, bloody, Probably not a whole lot of death necessarily,
but I really want to see it. Well, Chris has seen it,
and he says he enjoyed this awesome. That means a lot. I mean,
anybody that's seen it, that goes pretty far. I definitely want to
see this though, all right, And to end on a high note,
we got news finally of Severn's midyear sale, which is coming earlier than expected.
This is coming June tenth to June thirteenth, and they have guaranteed eight
brand new titles, three special midyear sale bundles. Sardis is not sold on
it. Come on, Oh not a Conners fan? Oh okay, I
could see that being different. Then they're gonna have a limited edition book.
They're gonna have brand new merch and then as usual, fifty off of SRP
on most severn and intervision titles. That is coming June tenth to thirteenth.
Uh. They learned a few years ago not to compete with Vinegar Syndrome twice
a year, and they they broke this out and they were doing theirs in
June instead of May. And it looks interesting. The art on this I
do believe is from Faceless if I remember right. But yes, seven sale
next month, gonna be talking about that of course, and just get prepared.
Seven has a lot of really good titles. I love seven. I
love everything they're doing. I'm very curious about these eight brand new titles.
All right, friends, Uh, do you know where the fifty percent off
titles will start? For seven? It is usually a full six months,
so that means usually from U. I can't remember if it's December or what
was in the Black Friday sale one of the two. The dates will go
prior to those. They go back further than Vinegar Syndrome. But we should
be able to go on their site soon and click on the little FAQs for
the sale. They put up their policies pretty early of their Chris says,
any ideas what the eight new titles from seven will be, Well, we
know two of them, Faceless and four K and then the other bridget Lady
title. Oh gosh, what is the name of that one? The other
one that they're putting out? Let me pull up a picture unless somebody else
can answer before I get there. Somebody else probably will. The other one
they just released at that other sale was scroll links rolling there. It is
the female executioner. So we know those who are two of the eight.
It appears they are leaning heavily on Franco and also wanted to bring up if
you did not see I shared the picture today. Blue Underground has confirmed they're
working on two more Francos for four K before the end of twenty twenty two,
and they've not announced those. We have no idea what those are.
That's that's pretty dann cool. Let me share what is coming out next week
since we always talk about that. Just in case you missed it. Blue
Ray release dates here it is. Let me get my dumb face off of
there so you can see it better. Next week, we got the Escape
from New York four K from screen Factory, the Man who shot Liberty Liberty
Valance from Paramount Presents, Top Secret from Paramount, Beverly Hills Cop two in
four K, we are finally seeing the release of Licorice Pizza on Blue the
Craft in four K Extreme Prejudices coming from Vestron, fe Fetale from Scream or
Shout, whichever one it's on, the Hell or high Water the four K
Steel Book that's coming out from Lionsgate, Doctor Jekyl and Mister Hyde from Warner
Archive. Keep in mind a lot of these are shipping already, depending on
where you order them from if they go through MBD. Pretty much all of
these have started shipping. Girls Night Out from Arrow, Violent City from Keno
without warning from Keno Bell. I think this is one that some people have
been talking about. I don't know anything about that one, but the Funeral
from Criterion. This is the Scare Maker. This is the alternate Girls' night
Out slipcover that is also coming from Arrow. And then Wormwood Apocalypse that was
I remember the liking the first one of those. I think this is the
third worm World Wormwood film. Never seen it, but I'm interested at least
Slasher Flesh and Blood. Everybody I know that likes Slasher seemed to really like
this season, So if you're into that, that is getting a release Death
Valley from Shutter and RLJE. That's another one. Outside the Law is coming
from Cohen Media. Another Cohen Two Men in Town, and I think that's
it for the week, all right, Jim says. The Transfer and Escape
from New York is amazing. Sound is great too. That is good to
know. I have not received mine yet. I'm really curious to compare it
to the Studio Canal version because on what were the first to escape from New
York? Not to escape from New York. That's when we're talking about the
Prince of Darkness and they live. Both of those were Studio Canal releases first,
and the encoding and all of that appeared to be better on the Screen
Factory release. So I'm curious to see if they're I don't know, I
just hit my mic. Sorry. I'm curious to see if they continue that,
if they're able to do better. So I'm very very curious. I
wish Studio Canal would jump up a little bit, and I don't know that.
I mean, they do really good work and they're putting out a lot
of stuff too. Maddie says we should take bets is when Severn site will
crash, thinking under a half hour, I mean, if it's anything like
the past, like three minutes basically, Chris says, I really hope there's
more horror releases. Horror seems to be drying up a little with most boutiques.
I think most people that don't like horror would scoff at you saying that
because horror is horror is the abundant genre on all of these boutiques. There
are tons out there. I think that I think that Horror showed everybody that
it would sell, and that led to some of these other titles being able
to get good boutique releases. So we've seen an upteck in uptick in other
releases. But I don't think horror has really gone down that much. I
think we're still getting quite a lot of horror releases. Let's see. You
gotta scope out Dollar Tree. They get RLJE discs all the time. Are
they blu Ray Mattie or are they just DVD interesting? I had no idea.
I don't have all of the h I don't have all of the RLJE
discs, and they've got some good stuff. I think Justin says, can't
wait for some more Freedkin releases like The Hunted and maybe narc underrated later Friedkin
flicks that would be nice. He's got a lot of good stuff in a
very I probably shouldn't say a very varied. He's got a varied discography that
or filmography that is really like expansive on all kinds of genres and just great
overall. Yeah, Nark. I was about to say that Nark is not
Friedkin as far as I was aware. Uh, okay, let's get to
our games real quick. So first that we do together, and if you've
played this today or you're used to playing these games, hopefully you don't spoil
it for everyone else. This first one for today, this is our framed
Let me bring this up. Nope, not like that. I gotta be
able to see everything. Come on, that's just me. What are we
doing there? We go, okay, so this is framed. What we
are doing is trying to figure out what film this still is from. And
if we search and we get it wrong, we get another scene to pull
from, and then we got a couple more games after this. I the
first time I saw this, I wanted to say something very new, Sarta,
says Cloverfield. I have no idea. Is it over That's not even
an option. I didn't know you could scroll there. Huh. Yeah,
it looks like that is not a midnight special, says Jeff. Let me
see mid Yep, that's an option. Nope. Oh wow wait is this?
Uh? I feel like this is the Guardians of the Galaxy movie?
Is this the part in the very beginning when he comes out of the hospital
elysium. I've not seen that one. It very well could be. Oh
no, yep, it's Guardians. It's the first one, right, No,
it's this. Oh I did get it. Okay, I was gonna
say, okay, well that was the fourth. There's the fifth. Okay,
those were very obvious. Geez, all right, oh, everybody's sayings
now, all right, Next we're gonna do movie nol. I think it's
how you pronounce it. Let me zoom in so that you guys have a
good view of this. Now, this one, this is a one second
clip of fast forwarding the entire movie. So you have to be ready for
it, and you have to try to catch a couple of frames and really
process it so that you know what to guess. We're all watching it live
together. Let's figure it out. I saw nothing, Jesus though, that
was so fast. Any guesses for that one? I feel like I recognized
the actress there, but I only had one frame that caught me, and
it wasn't one that I recognized at all. Couches Thelma Luise. That could
be? Was that Geena Davis? Well, oh, nope, that's not
even an option. Ah, always a rough one. It's not an option.
Let's see Goodfellas, Devilwar's prada. Wow, let's try Goodfellas. Oh
look at that man? How did you get that? I didn't see anything
from Goodfellas in there? All right, this is the last one. Now,
this last one is possibly the most difficult of these three. And I
wish I could show everything on one screen, but it gets damn near impossible.
So what this is is actoral and what we have is a list of
the movies they've been in that are blacked out for the titles there. But
then we have the genres and the IMDb scores, And what we're trying to
do is figure out the actor. When we put in a guess, it
will give us feedback based on their age, and then if that actor was
also in another movie that was in if they were also in that movie,
then that movie will be highlighted, but it will not be that person.
So let's take a look at these. These are starting earlier than the last
couple we've done. This is all the way back in eighty one, and
the newest one is twenty sixteen. Twenty sixteen horror thriller with five letters in
the name or five digits. We don't necessarily know their letters. If there's
any title that you're thinking that it could be, just throw it out there.
Eric says, look at nineteen eighty eight and ninety films, which means
Eric might have played this earlier today. Lissa says, James Kahn twenty sixteen
was it. I'll throw it out there if that sounds right. Oh,
why did I spell that the wrong way? Oh? Okay, So the
red on his name, I believe means that he is more than ten years
off of the age of the individual in this. So we've got from nineteen
eighty eight and nineteen ninety. Oh, look the title for this. We
should be able to figure out three digits space, four digits space, and
then a single digit we should be able to figure that out. It's probably
a sequel, and it's probably a sequel to what came out in nineteen eighty
eight, what came out in ninety and it's probably the something. Obviously,
that is the most obvious answer here, Oh Diehard, that makes sense.
Bruce willis twenty sixteen. I could see that is that split? Is that
split horror thriller? That makes sense to me. Let's say, Bruce Phillis
nice, die Hard, that's what got it, Maddie nice eighty eight and
ninety all right, So what all are they highlighting for Bruce because he has
been in like four hundred movies during those years. So we've got prints of
the city. The verdict, die Hard, die Hard too, the player,
the player, that's really one that they're thrown out there. Pulp fiction
that makes sense, Twelve Monkeys the other die Hard, fifth element, the
sixth sense that I mean drama, mystery thriller, not horror on that one
too, man and then Planet Terror. They chose some interesting ones to highlight
here. Looper, Yeah, that makes sense. Moonrise Kingdom was twenty twelve
as well. I feel like that was later. Either way, we got
them all and We got them all pretty quickly tonight. Any any questions about
Vinegar syndrome and anything I can prepare you for for the month in any way,
Any any videos you want to be seeing for Vinger Syndrome month? Oh,
Eric, that makes sense. They are only including films with a seven
point zero or higher on IMDb. That makes a lot more sense that way.
Yeah, he didn't. He just do like fifteen films last year and
then retired immediately because of his sickness that he's got. Now, that's I
mean, that's a lot he is. He has done so many crabby movies.
And there's there's something that he did that I used to love that I
watch now and I just cringe, like I used to love sixteen Blocks and
watching that movie now, man, it is bad. Mob Colt says partner
label title suggestions. First, I will ask do you have a favorite partner
label now or one that intrigues you. That will be a lot easier if
I remember, I think there are twenty one partner labels now, so it's
a lot to break down all of those into one unfortunately, So it would
be nice to narrow it down a little bit. Maybe there's a couple that
you're interested in, I will say, by all means, go watch the
interview I did last week with Ross from Saturn's Core, And like I said,
I have another interview coming out tomorrow with another partner label, and I'm
working on one or two more for this month. I have been loving the
partner label releases and I highly suggest many of them. Altered Innocence is great
with most of their stuff, Yellow Veil has been great with most of their
stuff. Fun City is pretty much amazing on all of them. Circle Collective
has been pretty good. Gunpowdern Sky has been pretty good. Didn't Vampire announce
a release date? Yes, from Eureka, but I think that was a
few weeks ago. Let me see what date that is coming out on.
Wait, is it Eureka or is it somebody else here Eureka? Yes,
it is Eureka and that is coming out on May thirtieth, that is by
the end of this month. You know the subculture thing, John, It
is so frustrating for those that don't know subculture is. Subculture is a vinegar
syndrome partner label that came and put out one title. When when was that
even released? Do you know offhand? John? Because it feels like has
it been a little over a full year? Right? But I don't know
how. Let me pull up the date on my phone. Subculture, So
Deadlock came out on July of twenty twenty one. July twenty seventh, twenty
twenty one, So we are at almost a full year and they've only done
one release and that entire time. And to be honest, it's good.
Deadlock in four K looked amazing. I don't love spaghetti westerns, and it's
not truly a spaghetti western because it's a German film, but it is really
well done. I yea strongly suggest if you find a copy of that to
watch it. Mob Colt says, really want to get all the TerrorVision titles
since I met the dude who runed it while on vacation. Nice. For
those that don't know, TerrorVision has their headquarters, is or not their headquarters.
The owner of TerrorVision has a record store that just opened in Georgia.
If you can go visit, it is supposed to be amazing. They have
all kinds of stuff there TerrorVision that I recommend, obviously of the WNUF Halloween
special Norway. It's not for everybody, but if you are into it or
try to find a trailer, and if you're into it, I would say
check that one out. It is it's a unique title. I will say
that. Maddie says Deadlock is a spots of Western Oh man. That's uh.
That's probably the best and least problematic way that that could have been said.
I love it. The Liberty said there's more coming from subculture. I
assumed June that would be the perfect month since its partner label month. Either
that or if it's in July. I'm just gonna count on them doing and
release every year like clockwork and honestly, what is it? Pulse Video kind
of did the same thing. They released one title and then it wasn't until
the Valentine's Sale this year that they came out and then dropped two all of
a sudden. So they're up to three times the output of Subculture. Yeah,
and a lot of people didn't like Norway. It's it's super stylish and
odd and unique. But Terror, I mean, they've put out a handful
of things like Killing Spree. Killing Spree is not going to be everybody's cup
of tea either. A lot of people think it's shot on video, but
it's not. It was just sixteen millimeter and it looks it for sure.
Yeah. I've not gotten a chance to watch the new Love and Saucers yet,
but I mean that's it. They've also only released four titles so far,
so it's really easy to get caught up with them if that's what you're
wanting to do. I have really liked Yellow Veil so far. Pretty much
everything they've put out. Utopia also very good. I would highly recommend things
like Shiva Baby, The Bloody Nose, Empty Pockets, Well that was I
think that was strictly limited, so that one's probably not for sale anymore.
But yeah, everything they've put out has been good, and we haven't.
I don't think we've gotten anything from them in a little bit either. There's
just so many good partner labels it's really hard to just dive in. And
that's why, like I'm trying to get some of these interviews out there,
because it is so at least for me. I don't know if you guys
agree, but for me, learning about the people behind the label and seeing
if I align with them, it really gives me a feeling about their sensibilities
for how they acquire titles. So That's why, you know, all this
year, I've been trying to get people from these labels on the show to
be able to share, you know, how they feel about movies, what
they look for for their releases, what they are you know, hoping to
accomplish by putting out those films, really get like a mission from them basically.
But then there's other things like Canadian International Pictures. They're just putting out
important Canadian films and def Crocodile is killing it with the things that they're putting
out there. This this random Russian fantasy film looks freaking incredible. I cannot
wait to get that one in. I mean, there's others that I haven't
even touched yet. There's The Candle, There's Canny, There's Factory twenty five.
There's so many Doppelganger or music box films whatever they're called, so many
partner labels. There's Pulse, like I brought up trying to see Oh AGFA
obviously, like pretty much anything from AGFA is great. And I don't know
if you guys are listening to their interviews with other podcasts and other channels across
the internet, but there are things being said like AGFA, I think AGFA
said that next year they have I think it was next year they have maybe
that was this year. I think AGFA said they have fifteen releases lined up
for this year and seventeen for next year, which I mean, that's that's
so much. If you are trying to keep up with all the partner label
releases already, it's gonna be hard. And what some of these other You
know, when I've done interviews a lot of times, after I press stop
and we're not recording anymore, they don't They usually don't tell me titles,
but they generally talk about things that they don't want out in public. And
don't think I'm saying this about any one specific company, but they're revealing like,
yeah, we have a title coming out every month for the rest of
the year, or I've got titles. I've got so many titles that I'm
booked out for the foreseeable future basically, and that is wild to me.
There's so much that they are able to do. They are they're partnering with
a group that is able to bring them to the world in a way that's
getting them exposure that they literally never would have gotten. And the big thing
it's giving cinema of people like you and people like me, and I'm excited
about that. Sartis is excited about that new label. I am as well.
If anybody finds a way to get that release to the US, please
come back to this and comment and let me know where you got it.
I'm going to be checking out ways to it, and if I find it,
I will try to let everybody know about it. I'm also going to
try to speak to Mark. Unless any of you have a contact with Mark,
I'm gonna see if he can get it through his distributor. I'm probably
also going to reach out to Mike from Grindhouse. It's an interesting time.
There's so many labels out there, and speaking of that, if you haven't
watched it, there are also a lot of labels that have been doing this
for years that have not gotten the attention they deserve yet. And a lot
of these new labels are selling thousands of copies of things, while other labels
are just silently releasing things and people. You know, I try to talk
about them as much as I can on these shows, but they just don't
sell as much because they, for some reason, are not the sexy new
thing right now. So what I would suggest. Get caught up on my
videos for boutique labels I collect, and so should you. I think I've
put out seven of them so far, and each of them has like ten
or eleven labels, which is a lot, believe me. But there's always
another label for you to look at and able to share a different worldview or
a different genre or yeah, something like La Aids Jabber. There's just so
much out there. There's so much cinema to consume and so little time,
and I love it. Sorrtists. Yes, I will try to email you
if I find a way to get it. I don't know what's going on.
I mean they're promoting Amazon and it's not available. I might just reach
out to them too. We'll see Other than that, any any more vinegar
syndrome questions or video ideas or anything else Before we call it a night.
It's been a good hour and a half show. I mean we covered everything
and then some, and you guys have been here for the entire time,
and I thank you, appreciate you. This is this is one of my
favorite parts of the week. Literally every week it's time with you guys.
I appreciate you. I genuinely appreciate everything that we've done over the last year.
I certainly appreciate my patrons. Thank you guys for everything that you are
continuing to contribute to the discord that I live in every day when we're not
streaming, you guys, you know, keep me going while I'm at work
and help me not be super bored throughout the day. So thank you for
that. I think that's all I've got. If nobody else has anything,
all I will say is, uh, let's have a good week, and
until next time, from one collected all of you, let's have a good
night. Huh Again, Thanks to the patrons, see you next time.
Light to everybody.
