Good morning, Happy New Year? Everybody. How we doing. I am
going to be having a guest ce Leicsta's running a few minutes late, but
she will be in here very quickly. First of all, is everybody doing
It's uh not midnight, which for a lot of people that is probably a
good thing, but I know I am still kind of wrecked. My kids
stayed up till midnight for the first time ever, not even just on New
Year, but the first time ever, and that was wild. Hope everybody
is doing well, had a good, safe night last night, and Hardy
got a handful of people in here loving that visis. I hope that's how
I've pronounced. I know who you are, but yeah, I hope that's
what's going well for you. This is a great question. We're gonna get
into something like this. Joey's asking what films do you want for them to
release? Twenty twenty three? Daniel Daniel's here for the first time live what's
going on? Sir Scolder as well? Hey, Hey Kent Man. All
my closest friends are here, including Jeremy Long. My hair looks exactly the
same, except probably a little worse. I'm getting a haircut soon. Like
in the next couple days. Terry, Yeah, this this has to be
a good year, because man, it's been a rough few years for everybody.
Let's see, Kevin is here, Kevin Sullivan, what's going on?
Jeff k my friend, you're here and live with us. I love seeing
that. Joey, this is your first live as well. Welcome. We
are so glad that you are here. Jeremy, you think you were still
wrecked. I guarantee that I'm still wrecked. Agree. Yes, Dead Sea
Life, Welcome, you are live this time. That was a great comment
to read last night. Friends, My friends, we have a lot to
discuss today. Obviously, we've gotten a hint about what is coming for January.
We know that we have a Cat three box coming and a lot of
people are very excited about that, of course, but we also have a
lot coming for this year. And if the trends with Vineger Syndrome are accurate,
this was their most mainstream leaning year in twenty twenty two, and that
is seeming to only continue. They are able to get bigger licenses from some
of these studios, and when you're able to pull a title like the Texas
chainsawm Masker too from a company that a few years ago, so we're only
known for putting out titles like Raw Force and you know, the Herschel Gordon
Lewis adult films. This is this is a big deal and maybe the biggest
thing. This is their ten year anniversary year. And the last time that
they had an anniversary year that they celebrated was five years in and they had
a lot, a lot on the docket for that year, including four films,
four film kind of box sets for film collections, I guess is probably
the better way to say that. To celebrate their five years, they boxed
up five films new to Blu Ray that they put out on DVD prior to
that, and it it went very well for them. They sold out very
quickly and they were nice upgrades. Now they seem to be hinting that something
great is coming in twenty twenty three, and not a lot of clues given
for that yet. But it's been a great year and we are going to
talk about how we felt about twenty twenty two. We are going to talk
about the subscription because that is one of the biggest things. Is that this
week, starting here in just about an hour, this is going to be
the only time from what they're implying to be able to be a subscriber for
the entire year, maybe they do something at the halfway sale, but they
haven't indicated that that's the case yet, and they're wording kind of sounds like
they're not going to do that this year, which would be, I'm gonna
be honest, a little odd. But we got more four K than ever,
We've got more slipcovers than ever, if that's your thing. We've got
more partner labels than ever, getting a new one of those today as well.
We got to go into all of it. And one of the people
that I thought would be absolutely perfect to bring on to go through everything vinegar
Syndrome is somebody that I respect and adore so much, Celeste de la Cabra.
If you have never watched the last channel before I bring them on,
I just want to share that they are there, very kind of green in
the YouTube scene. They've not been doing it too long and they are still
very much growing. But oh my gosh, Celeste is is special. The
amount of analysis that Celeste does is incredible. The real emotion that Celeste carries
on is great. The dead pan humor just throws it all over the top,
so please make sure that you are clicking subscribe on celest channel and the
link is in the description of course. Now, I am happy to say
that she is going to be a part of this in just a second,
joining now and we are going to share as much as we can. But
the biggest thing we got to get that chat going, So make sure everybody
is in the chat all day sharing some opinions. We got some great questions
that we're gonna be going through all day long. And first one, let's
do this. Joey says, name of film you haven't watched yet that you
will watch in twenty twenty three, And I know the top one on my
list is going to be The Banshees of and a Sharon. I never got
to see it near the end of last year, and it's one that I
am dying to see. As far as physical media, there is a handful
of partner label titles that are on the top of my must watch list.
Recent Solomon King. I still need to watch the entire films. It's one
that I have appreciated watching the process on, but the partner labels have kind
of been where my mind is at over this last year they put out some
incredible titles, and as you all know, that's one of the best parts
of subscribing is when you are a subscriber, you get all of the partner
label releases at sale price upon release, so day one partner label title goes
up, you can get it for some of them are I think the cheapest
ones have been around seventeen forty nine and then going up to you know,
box sets are going to be more obviously, but the standard ones they usually
max out around twenty two ninety nine. So great deal, especially because you
can get all the slip covers, and these are much more likely to sell
out quickly before the sale than the regular Vinegar syndrome titles because they're printing like
six and seven of most of those six and seven thousand. Of course,
let's see Joey when I brought up Cat three said Category three like devil Fetus.
Yes, I don't think it will be devil Fetus, but it Yeah,
they are putting out a Hong Kong Category three box set in January.
Joe Deed hoping for Italian or seventies eighties American whrror. I what is the
best way to say this without sounding privileged. I happen to know a couple
things that are coming from Vinigar Syndrome this year, and at least one will
make you happy. Let's see, Daniel's going for the spooky slip and Agfa
is going to have something also, the ten dollars stuff. That's that's something
that we're gonna get into a Celeste and speaking of let's bring them on here
is Celeste de la Cabra. So that's what's going on. Hey, hey,
how you doing. I apologize for my laradiness. Uh. I actually
had to set up a few new things on the fly, and I think
I got it all working good. I got a new ring light, I
got my webcam set up. How's how's the microphone sounding? By the way,
if I need to adjust it, let me know. It sounds like
it's not being used. Oh boy. Yeah. If you click on settings
at the bottom and go to audio, I think you should be able to
change that over It sounds like it's just the computer. But that's okay.
Well, I'm gonna get through some more of these comments while you work on
that. Uh, that sounded a little better maybe. Joey my Cat three
box that's seating with ghosts, yes, and the devil nice. Uh.
I love the purple aesthetic. I've said that before, but it fits you.
Thank you, thank you. I agree, it's my favorite color and
uh we got it going so nice. So one of the big things is
Celeste and myself were both subscribers and twenty twenty and one of the things that
I want to ask is how do you feel about that? How'd you feel
about twenty twenty two as a whole? Do you think it was a good
choice, and I mean the main choice. Will you be subscribing for twenty
twenty three? Oh? Absolutely, yeah, I will be. I pretty
much decided that. I don't know, it didn't take long. It took
like a month or two, and in my subscription before I was like,
this kind of kicks ass and I'm having a lot of fun with it.
Yeah. Yeah, I absolutely think the last one was worth it. I'm
actually hopefully today I'll have time to do it. I wanted to make a
video kind of outlining how my subscription went and really getting down into the math
of whether or not it was worth it, and whether or not that would
be worth it for other people, kind of similar to the video you already
did, but I wanted to kind of get into the real specifics of my
subscription. But your video was the inspiration, honestly, so. But we'll
see. But I think I bought enough partner label titles with the eight dollars
coupon that it for itself, So we'll see that. That was something we
literally just talked about. And that's with the discount on vsu's vsps, VSA's
and now they're adding whatever this VSL line is going to turn out to be.
You get all of those at the sale price, and on top of
that all of the partner labels. And I don't know about you, twenty
twenty two for me was like the year for partner labels. I feel like
that got most of my attention this year, and now you're muted. Absolutely,
I've been telling people like, sorry, I'm a little frazzled. I
kind of just work out. I get that. I've been telling people,
don't sleep on a partner label titles, like I think we talked about this
at the discord a little bit. I think for my money, that was
the most interesting and coolest thing that happened in physical media twenty twenty two was
all those partner labels, just the care that they put into all of them
and the absolute diversity of it. It's actually kind of a problem for me
because ause I'm interested in most of it, and so there's only so much
money for me, you know, and so much time. But uh,
you know, there's certain labels specifically that I think do work that caters to
my taste more specifically, but there's there's has not been a single month where
there isn't anything for me. There's always at least a few. And uh,
that's a good question. Which partner labels are you super hot on?
Alterned Innocence and Fun City is pretty good too. I really like them.
Oh yeah, Canadian International Pictures has a lot for me. Why do I
feel like I'm forgetting one? Like I feel like there's one that's like my
favorite, and I feel like I'm forgetting them. I like VHS hit Fest
a lot, honestly, they've been fun, like they've been. I haven't
watched Satan's Menagerie yet, but the first two or two for two for me,
so I really enjoyed that. The corn Shucker, oh my god,
I love that. It was such a wild experience and from what I hear
from mister Dan Cannem at vhs Hipfest it is going to be an incredible year
from them. The the fifth title that they're doing is supposed to be full
of wild martial arts mixed with some other things, and I I just can't
wait to see what they bring out. I'm also a big fan of Agfa
Deaf, Crocodile's Big for Me, and then some of the ones that focus
on some of the indie modern stuff like Yellow Veil is Great. Utopia has
put out some bangers of documentaries over the last couple of years. I am
I'm very curious to see what else is coming around. And of course there
are currently lots of rumors about Fun City Editions, so I'm gonna highlight this.
Fun City Editions has had a lot of their titles on the going out
of print list and people are speculating are they going to break out and do
their own thing kind of like Terror Vision did. I I'm curious, does
that does that change your opinion on the output at all? Or about subscribe?
I mean, because you know one of your favorite labels could be not
a part of it. No, really, not at all, like how
many say, like most of the fut City titles I bought were on sale,
like during the flat the Black Friday sale. I did buy some other
newer ones for sure. I don't know. It doesn't even make up like
twenty five percent of the Partner the label titles that I bought, so it
would be a bummer. But you know, maybe they have their own subscription
service and then I would do that. Yeah, it would not surprise me.
They seem to have gotten a lot of pedigree over the last year and
kind of got a lot of steam. I mean a lot of their titles
are showing up on like year end list across a lot of the the big
like Mondo Digital does one, and especially like Heartbreakers is getting a lot of
attention this year. But yeah, fun City is great. And the other
thing that we mentioned right before he came on here, we're getting another partner
label today getting announced and yeah, that we'll bring in on that. That's
like backup, back up to twenty one partner label. That's an insane number
and for a lot of people that's overwhelming. However, I think it's great.
I think that we get more hands on film and more films and people's
eyelids and that's really what's important here. Yeah, for sure. My favorite
Fun City edition released this year was Natural Enemies. I think that film was
astonishing, just so good, and I'm so glad that they rescued it from
obscurity and did a nice job with it. I just thought it was really
something else. Check that one out. I saw a lot of people tongue
in chic recommending that as like, watch this on Christmas with your father.
It might make you appreciate your relationship better. Yep, so this is true.
It could be good. Ooh, that's one that I forgot. Scolder
just brought up Gunpowder and Sky. They've done a lot of really good restorations
on their stuff. Yeah, I gotta be honest, their titles don't always
appeal to me, but I just really love what they do on principle,
which is they seem to take a lot of the streaming only stuff and finally
put that stuff on disc and that is like really just doing the Lord's work.
Honestly. Likes It's highly appreciated. This is true. So let's get
into something that we have concrete information for. I'm gonna share one of the
posts that I had put up previously that they showed us what would be coming
in twenty twenty three, and just to read this for everybody, it says
in here's an exclusive taste to what we have in store for twenty twenty three.
In January, we'll be delving back into Category three horror with a box
set featuring a trio of gruesome shockers in addition to the UHD debut of an
iconic eighties gore fest, a whacked out regional creature film and one of the
best exploitation horror hybrids to come out of the wilds of Mexican genre cinema,
and it's been the talk of the VS office and the film we're most excited
for. So I believe we kind of know the Mexican shocker title. I'm
trying to remember the name of that real quick, because it's the one that
had the teaser image, right. Yeah, it's that big green, iconic
angel looking thing that they've been sharing and it's just be a little blunt.
It's got the word rape or raping in the title. I believe I can't
remember exactly what it is, but some of these others. Do you have
any speculation on what you might be getting here with the cat Free or the
gruesome shocker UHD gore Fest and everything else. I really don't I'm just here
for the surprise. I'm always excited. I don't know. I'm not in
the know enough on this shit to like really speculate about like some obscure horror
film from nineteen eighty three with less than ten views on letterbox, you know
what I mean. I'm not in like that, but I'm just always really
excited to see it. I am seeing a lot of guesses, primarily on
the UHD debut of an iconic eighties gore Fest. Now, yeah, lacking
anything really, you know, looking at Vinegar Syndrome's copy over the last couple
of years, when they are putting out something that another label has previously released,
they very carefully choose their words and specifically when this says UHD debut,
this tells me it's probably a re release of another film, something that went
out of print from another label. And considering we are doing a lot of
screen factory re releasing in the last couple of years, I got to kind
of guess that this is probably something like a from Beyond, which I would
love to see from Beyond on four K and it's one of my favorites more
Stuart Gordon on four K is always appreciated, and it would be an incredible
release for sure. Yeah, I think you're absolutely right. I think the
way they've worded it, it's not going to be like a lost title or
something like that. It's definitely going to be like something somebody else has already
put out, and hopefully one that's out of print so that we can finally
get that back into circulation and every thing. I think it's going to be
a bigger title, like an Amityville horror or something like that. You know,
it's gonna be one to get people talking. Yeah, and with eighties
Gorefest, there's not a lot that we tend to think of as Gorefest from
the eighties that don't have big releases like this, So it would have to
be something like a Reanimator or a From Beyond or something like that. But
I don't see them putting out re Animator themselves necessarily. I could see Ero
doing one of their fancy re releases and putting out the exact same packaging they
did for Reanimator with the four K disc, and I believe that one's already
kind of been teased as getting a four K release in the near future,
so I think so too, and I think Aaro's gonna do it. But
I mean, you know, could who knows? Absolutely? Uh? Cat
three Horror? How big are you into the Cat three horse side? I
just watched the fuck what's it called? Burning Paradise? Burning Paradise? Yeah,
you knew before I did. You're just you're just on it, and
that was amazing. I don't know if that was actually Catherine, it certainly
looked like it, but that was so good. I don't know. I'm
really just into I'm really into foreign films in general, and I'm really into
or maybe international films has a better work for it. And I'm just really
into extremes and I'm in general, So as much of that as I can
get, I'll be happy. Well, I know somebody that's involved in this
release, even though I don't have any hints as to what is going to
be in the box, So I'm very curious to see how this is received.
Obviously, CAT three has been big for a handful of labels over the
last couple of years. Eighty eight Films kind of really dove into it,
and Vinegar syndrome is right up there. We've even got a couple releases from
Australia that I believe Umbrella did a couple of Cat three releases. But yeah,
this is just something that people are really really excited for recently, and
I can't wait to see how the community dives in. And to start off
the entire twenty twenty three with a CAT three box set, I think is
really indicative of a pretty strong year for them, because January, you would
usually not necessarily put all of your weight or your heaviest titles in there would
be like, oh, this is an interesting piece to start the year.
So yeah, I mean, I think especially since they're making this their big
kickoff week and everything, I imagine that they wanted to really come out swinging
and convince people like, hey, this is gonna this is gonna rip.
You might want to get in on this now, you know. I hope
that that doesn't mean we really taper off in February and March, but you
know, I'll be excited regardless to get like a banger ass a month right
out the gate. Terry says, yikes, forgot that the Mexican Genre Titles
is being announced today is getting it mixed up with the Mexico box set.
Joey is guessing Evil Speak four K. That's a fun one, Joe Dad
Texas Chainsaw three w'd be interesting. I don't know that Warner would give it
up, but it'd be interesting. Master Chaos is here. What's going on?
Hey, Master Chaos? I watch your videos. Nice to see you
here. Okay, So that was January, and then for anybody else on
the cusp of subscribing and considering it, in February, we've got another blood
soaked delight from Hong Kong along with this is one of my favorite words to
use on this entire thing, along with a melty treat of American folk or
in addition to the psychotic yet beautiful slice of Eastern European sci fi. Now,
they have not done a whole lot in sci fi, so I'm curious
to see how much that dives into the actual sci fi side of things.
Yeah. Yeah, Melty is a fun word. It really is, both
both in the context of cuisine and in cinema. Right, I mean,
folk core is like kind of my jam. So I'm really into it and
I'm excited for that. Joey wants you to introduce who is behind you?
Okay, yes, I was looking for a good opportunity for that. This
is my partner. B. They'll they'll be joining us for a second.
They can't hear you, unfortunately, but they'll be hanging out and looking pretty.
So it's all good, right, that makes sense. Jeff loves him
some sci fi, so I know Jeff's excited. DC wants four K Sleepaway
Camp trilogy, but it appears that is likely not happening, especially because Screen
Factory still has the rights to the Blue for the first one. At least,
that would be crazy if Screen Factory like gave that one up. I
don't see that happening, but I mean, I mean, on the other
hand, Vinegar Syndrome could have rights just to the four K and not the
Blue. Yeah, I guess, I guess I'm saying I would be really
shocked if Screen Factory didn't get on that ASIP and somehow slacked, you know.
Yeah. Chrys Silvestri says could the four K debut be Lord of Illusions?
I don't. I don't know if I would refer to that as a
gore fest. It's possible, but yeah, that's another one that's out of
print that I can see that being Lord of Illusions is wild. I've never
seen it. It's fun, for sure. Just the discs is here.
What's going on? Reveals in less than an hour, almost at half an
hour, Planet Mondo, what's up? Hungover as hell? Glad you guys
are doing this because otherwise my drunk ass would have completely forgot about it.
Well, that's why we're here for the people. I'm totally sober and not
hungover. I'm just a little bit sleepy and drinking my coffee. We're here
to keep you in check. You know, I wanted to go to bed
at nine o'clock. Lass. Moving to the next month, they gave us
March. March is shaping up to offer a box set celebrating one of Mexico's
most acclaimed genre film directors, including new four K restorations of some of his
most iconic works, along with a UHD Sorry, along with uhds of a
late nineties Indie, late nineties I Can't Read, late nineties indie shocker,
and an eighties Italian American gore Fest. There's a lot of four K Gorfest
coming the rest of the year, a lot of red HDR coming our way.
Hopefully not too bad. Hopefully we see that improved a little bit.
But obviously this one, a lot of people are speculating this is going to
be the next Cardona box set, finally getting some of that revamped after the
death of Cardona and what they were working on at the time. I would
be, you know, at least fairly hit happy to see some of his
stuff get finished so that they can just get off of the back burner for
them. Let's see Planet Mondo. Is that Cat three box set getting revealed
this week? Yes? Here in thirty five minutes, Joey says they already
did the Galindo trilogy. Yes, I know that we've got there were supposed
to be three Cardona box sets, and that's why they had the magnet set
up inside there, so we'll see Ragnar. I'm on something that's not known
undergroundly the main titles for the studios. The hard part is to kind of
do both, because the studios are not going to put out a lot of
the big titles that we view as big titles. They don't care about stuff
like From Beyond or sleep Away Camp necessarily. So yeah, I hope we
get to underground stuff. But we're we're probably going to keep seeing some of
the mainstream titles as well, are they go ahead. I'm a fan of
when they put out the quote unquote mainstream titles, like they're not even that
big, but honestly, like it's good because, like I trust them to
do a good job with it, much better than whatever studio is gonna do
it or would have done it. Right. I know their transfer is going
to be better. I know their packaging and special features are going to be
better. And also like the only reason they can do all those smaller titles
is because they have the money for it, and that's what that those bigger
titles are for, like they help fund all the rest of it. I
don't like if there was a risk that vinegar Syndrome was like never going to
do underground stuff again and they just kind of turned into a screen factory or
something that would be caused for concern. But I don't agree to see that
ever happening, at least not this year. So I think we're okay,
that's true. Let's say we got a question, Joey Andrews says, Night
of the Bloody Apes, if it's the same one we're talking about the video
Nasty that is just recently put out on Blu Ray from I think it was
VCI, so I would guess it would probably not be that one. Chris
says, so glad they did Roadhouse and Rock Jutson like what you said there.
Yeah, it's a good thing because not only not only do we get
you know, a better packaging, but I mean that's only a small part
of a lot of these releases. For me, the big thing is a
studio is not going to put the amount of extras Like Amitaville Horror is probably
the best example of this. We got we got new extras plus pretty much
all of the archival extras for that film on this release, and a studio
release of that would either have nothing or just the stuff that they made in
the past, and it would probably be in less quality. So it is
always nice to see these coming out that are like fully loaded, ready to
go. Got my video yesterday that I did the best extras package like this
again, just because it's near me, this text has changed. I'm asker
to release the number of extras on here. It's so small print because they
needed to fit everything that it's it's overwhelming. It is absolutely ridiculous. When
I did my reaction to that, I was like, uh, I'm not
reading all that, but it's a lot if you're into it, you know.
Yeah, I'm really I'm just glad that the fans of these films get
really great treatments for them. And I'm noticing a lot of people like who
are previously not like this was not on their radar at all. They're like,
oh, so this is the level of quality I can expect, and
they're they're getting more intrigued by the to take a chance on the unknown stuff,
you know. And I think one of the things that I'm seeing more
of from recent time, at least people that are finding a Blu Ray release
that was put out by a partner label, and because of that, they're
stumbling onto the Vinegar Syndrome website and going, oh, holy shit, there's
like a thousand titles here that I could choose from, and everybody under the
sun is getting brand new releases on all these films and it's great. Yeah,
So I think that the more new faces it brings, it'll be great
for everybody. Rest of the year. Wanted to read this before we came
away from this page. The rest of the year will bring disc including several
blu ray and four K debuts of plentiful slasher rarities, some of which have
never legally made it off of tape. Plus more seventies and eighties exploitation and
horror, both from the US and Europe, more regional weirdness as they always
do, more Hong Kong action and horror, and of course more jolly Plus
this is the big deal. In honor of our tenth anniversary, we're working
on an epic box set that will speak both to the origins and history of
Vinegar Syndrome and champion the type of way out forgotten films that we were founded
on releasing. That sounds dope, it really does, And I'm very curious
when they're gonna reveal that. My my gut tells me to'll probably be at
the halfway sale somewhere around there that they're going to bring out this giant think
that or it'll be a Black Friday. I was thinking a Black Friday thing.
But a question for you, since you know even more about this than
I do, have they done like a really really big box set before,
like on the level of a Ray Dentisteckler, or like a in mar Bergmann
box or something like that, because I'm thinking that's what that might be,
and that would be really exciting if we could get like a really comprehensive big
box set from them. You know. Yeah, I would not be surprised
if they did that for some of these And one of the things that I
was thinking when I first read this is they they've they've really hit hard,
especially on the adult side of things, at some of these stars that were
very iconic in their in their roles, like a Katee Parker or even like
Wakefield Pool. They put out a lot of Wakefield Pool titles and now most
of them didn't get Blu Ray releases. So I could see them putting out
like a box set of one of these old adult films, adult film stars
or directors that they aligned with in the first handful of years, and try
to be a little more all encompassing of their releases and make them like Blu
Ray debuts. That would be pretty great for them. Yeah, that would
be great. Lots of stuff that they could do, lots more to look
forward to. Let me check in with the comments. Scolder says, someone
Studios WO probably released those bare bones. Yes, Ragnar you really can't say
that they were doing small You really can't say that they were doing small titles
for years without a problem. They just recently got into the bigger titles,
so they did find just doing little titles. I mean, you could make
arguments on both sides. I understand what you're saying. They survived doing the
small titles, but even when they were primarily releasing, you know, eighty
five percent of their catalog was DVD only for the first couple of years they
you know, it's not like these were getting print runs of twelve thousand limited
edition titles like we're getting nowadays. I think some things have changed quite a
little bit in the last ten years for Vinegar Syndrome. So surviving and thriving,
I would look at is the main difference there. Yeah, that's a
good way of putting it, Jeff. The more studios see what boutiques can
do, the more mainstream releases we can get, which will enable the labels
to do underground releases exactly, And Vinegar Syndrome has never stopped. Even twenty
twenty two saw a lot of underground releases that many people loved, some that
people did not love so much. I know, that there were a handful
of titles that people were like, why are they putting this out? The
Birds too comes to mind that I loved that release. I think it's great.
The Kvan one was that Master of None Never Remembers? Is that what
I never remembered? It was called now either. Honestly, I didn't love
that one. That's probably the one I liked the least this year. Let
me see, I hate vamping, like this, Master of the World,
that's what it is. Oh clus, Yeah, that's a film that a
lot of people would not have ever sought out, So the fact that it
got to release is kind of a big deal. But yeah, they've done
that for a lot of a lot of films over the last year. Let's
see DC says not subscribing. Roadhouse is a good movie, but for crying
out loud, it's on TV almost every weekend. Yeah, sure, with
four K and I don't have TV anymore. And on top of that,
there's not a ton of extrasm with the book and everything else. I don't
think there's gonna be any extras on cable, you know, nothing at all.
Come on, let's see ragnar Off topic, but did you read the
Mondo newsletter. Pre orders for Halloween are going to be later than expected,
and they're possibly not doing another UHD this year. Yeah, we're gonna be
talking about that next Thursday in a lot of detail for sure. Thanks Gideon
and Terry. See you guys are on the ball. Appreciate that uh playing
a Mondo. I bought Master of the World and it was one of the
most boring movies I've ever attempted to sit through. I heard it was bad.
Well all right yet, but you know, the next big thing,
What are some Vinegaro syndram adjacent titles that you would like to see that you
know personally, not that you know are coming or anything like that, just
that you know that you've seen or that you would like, or that you
speculated internally about. For you, you know, when you asked me that
question, most of the things that come to mind, I'm like, oh,
one of the partner labels would be great for this, you know.
Like I saw a film that came out in theaters like in twenty twenty one
or twenty twenty two something like that. It was called Gaya Gaia and it
does not have a Blu Ray release. It just has a DVD, and
I thought it was so good and so unique and I would really love to
own it on Blu Ray. But interesting, I think Neon has it,
but they didn't put it out on Blu Ray, and I was just like,
that would be a good one for a partner label to take a risk
on. I don't know how well that would work, but shoot, there
was another one. I was thinking, Oh, pig narcissists, if if
Altered Innocence could put that out, that just seems like it would be right
up their wheelhouse, right go over? Really? Well? Yeah, somebody
else KB is here? What's going on? KB? We love KB.
One thing I wanted to share one of my patrons, by the way link
in the description below if you ever want to come a part of that.
We do a lot of great discussions on stuff like this, and this is
a discussion that came from the patreon specifically, one of my patrons shared this
spreadsheet and I wanted to show people exactly what subscribing would mean in twenty twenty
two if you wanted to break it out by the dollar. So they determined
that if you look at the MSRP of all of the releases that subscribers got
only as part of their subscription. This is not including any of the discounts
whatsoever. They got a total of one thousand, nine hundred and sixteen dollars.
Obviously nobody is paying that, but the regular price that if you were
to buy it on announcement day you didn't get any of these at the six
month sale price was a total of one thousand, three hundred and twenty six
dollars, so already a lot less than MSRP, so it seems like it
would be less of a good deal. But the subscription cost for last year
was eight hundred and ninety five dollars, which means you are theoretically getting first
of all, all of the slipcover variants, all of the limited titles on
release every single month. That's a big deal. You're getting your stuff,
You're getting priority shipping every single month that it comes out. You're going to
be the first ones to get it. But the big thing is that,
because it was, you know, four hundred and thirty dollars less, you're
getting a huge chunk of films literally for free, just as part of the
subscription if you were going to get a lot of them anyways. So the
big thing to say is if you are if you like even about sixty percent
of the films that Vinegar Syndrome puts out, you're paying about full price for
them, and everything else is just bonus. And when you break it down
for the dollar, you can go out and sell the ones that you don't
like, if that's what you're going to do. But then, just like
Celeste and I said earlier, on top of all of that, you get
discounts on all of the other sub labels, all of the partner labels,
everything else the Vinegar Syndrome puts out. And it's remarkable how quickly, if
you are enjoying those other films that this can almost or fully pay for itself.
Yeah, for sure, if you have any experience selling on eBay,
Like every title I've put up that I didn't like for my subscription, it
did not take long for it to sell, And I in every instance I
either made my money back or made a little bit more on top of that,
which you know, is not something I'm trying to do. I' about
trying to like monetize this thing or whatever, but like you know, it
goes a long way towards paying off for the rest of them. And I
don't know. To me, this is like I always say this, if
you have the money and if you are interested in even half of the stuff
that you see on their site, it's like a no brainer for me.
Andrew says, I've been a sub since May of twenty nineteen, looking forward
to renewing my sub in thirty minutes. Nice Joey asking why can't they do
a box set of the most requested movies not on Blu Ray, like to
Keep, Hello Mary Lou, Promni too in Blood Beach. There's a reason,
I mean, just the easiest way to say this there. It's not
like labels don't know about those titles. They know exactly about those titles.
There are a reason that they can't put them out. If they could,
I guarantee you most of the labels would have jumped on any of those films
already. The Keep is notorious for not having good elements. It's probably never
going to properly be on Blu Ray. Hello Mary Lou has rights that are
all over the place, so is Bloodbeach. Yeah, it's difficult. Chris
would love for them to release the rest of the Vice Academies this year.
That'd be nice. Andrew wants to see Body Count from Diodado, Psychocop and
Blood Beach. Yeah, that would be nice. The sub made more sense
to me when movies were limited and sold out. I mean, I'd rather
them not be limited, to be honest, but either way, you're getting
them at the sales price on day one, so it makes sense to me.
Would more subscribe if they had fewer amounts available? I would hope not.
I mean, that's an odd thing because one of the parts of doing
this is that they are able to get an influx of money to be able
to license titles for the following years. So making them limited is just decreasing.
I mean, especially if they're able to sell them. They should,
but I don't know, let's see, I guess maybe it would. The
pomo might kick in, but I agree with you. It's like basically a
fundraising thing, right, So that wouldn't make sense to me. Right The
big thing is the you can figure out the sales prices right now because it's
exactly half of a MSRP. So when you look at that nineteen hundred and
six, I mean, it doesn't take long to find out that that would
be pretty much exactly what the subcost was last year. You're getting them all
at sales price, and it is very very interesting when you look at it
like that, because you're getting them on release date every single month, and
that's not shocking at all. I have an off topic question for you,
true slightly. I tried to watch The Keep this month on the Criterion channel
because it was leaving and everyone was saying that, like, oh this is
real hard to come by, and it wasn't so bad quality. I couldn't
finish it. I got maybe thirty minutes in and me and Avery were just
like, uh no, I can't do this. I can't even tell what's
happening. Is there a I mean, obviously it's not on Blu Ray,
but just a decent way to watch this movie, so I could at least
have seen it, like it was so bad that Criterion scan is the best
scan. Oh my god. And that's that's why I said it's notorious for
having such a bad scan, because there is a DVD that's out there.
I believe Australia's had a couple releases of it, and even I think they
did an upscaled version of that terrible DVD to something else. And yeah,
it's it's a lot, and it's not great. I watched it on my
projector, my four K projector, and now I'm I might I never ever
say this or do this, but it might be better to watch it on
a smaller screen. YEP, that makes sense. Uh, yeah, this
is right, DC says licensing most of the time. It's licensing, for
sure. Julie wants to know how much does it even cost to get the
right to a movie? And this is this is not something that any of
us can answer unless you're gonna ask about a specific film, because there have
been labels, even on my channel that have come out and talked about some
of the costs and they they've gotten literally a film for free to be able
to put it out all the way up to some of the films can get
like one hundred thousand dollars just to put out a crappy blu ray and then
they also control everything that you put on the disc still on top of that,
so there's a lot that goes into it. For sure. It's it's
a mess. I mean, I think it's just up to the whoever holds
the rights, right Like, at that point you can name your price and
if people buy it, they will and if they don't, they won't.
You know what I mean. It's I don't think that there's a MSRP out
there for licensing a film or something like that. Nope. And that's why
Donoh the Dead is still not on Blu ray in the US. It's because
Rubinstein wants a licensing fee that is exorbitant to the point of like almost extortion.
Now I love that as I'm saying that Jeff is common like an eBay
flipper, but for entire licenses or something exactly, which is ridiculous because it
holds a film ransom for an entire country. It sucks. It sucks.
I think there should be well, we don't need to get into politics,
but I think there should probably be a law about public domain if like legal
access is being denied or something like that. Yeah, that makes sense.
So yeah, again the spreadsheet it does show breaking down the cost that if
you look at the MSRP, the sub cost is generally going to be about
the sales price for everything, and you get it on release date. And
that's that's why it makes it worthwhile, because you are getting the partner labels,
the VSUS VSPS, VSAs, VSLs all of that. You have to
get those at sales price or not you have to you can get them at
sales price if you are a subscriber, So that makes that a win for
every single category. Let's see Chris wants to know do I have to re
enter my info if I don't resubscribe. I'm planning on placing an order today,
but I'm not sure if I will subscribe again today. It depends.
If you go to purchase today and you're not a subscriber, you will have
to pay for shipping unless something qualifies for free shipping, and if you subscribe
later in the week, it will likely. I think they said they're doing
combining the sales order, so I don't know how that would work. You
might not get discounts if you get stuff today. That's the only main thing.
So your actual information should be attached to your account. But that's it.
How Come no one ever upgraded a nine to Living Dead nineteen ninety remake,
Feel like that's a title screen would put out, Well, it's got
a couple of Blu rays globally, it's not one that has gotten a four
K for sure. In fact, there's a couple of really nice looking German
media books. Eric, Eric here, what's going on? Was that running
till catching up with the Jeremy long? Yeah? That was a long episode
for sure. All Right, we've got fifteen minutes left. We've talked about
the subscription cost, why it's worth it in our opinion, We've talked about
what they have coming out the rest of this year, and it's probably time
to start bringing up the website to just wait and count down. But are
there any other remaining questions or speculation people want to know about? The First
of all, I guess what are we getting today? We're getting a VSU
a VSL, and I am going to bring up my I did not mean
to read that. I'm gonna bring up my Instagram again so we can talk
about the announcements that they had about the subscriber week, so that we can
go over that. I'm so excited for the VSL. That sounds we want
to know what it is, Okay. So they said a place in a
time that we've never covered before. Okay, So that tells me it's going
to be in some really obscure countries, which is awesome. And that tells
me that it is going to be older films like like black and white stuff,
like that's my jawn. Potentially, I'd be so excited if they put
out like a fucking I don't know, Indonesian black and white horror film from
some I don't even know, you know, it'd be amazing. I'm just
excited about it. Question from Staffino. Any thoughts on why other labels don't
have subscriptions available? Well, first off, there's a couple that do.
Uh. Terror Vision just started one, and Radiance kind of historically announced one
earlier this year that they did for three full years. For those that remember,
Arrow did one at the very beginning that was like the first two or
five years of their company, which was wild. But yeah, there's a
couple others that do it quite famously. Severn has come out many times and
said, we are kind of flying by the seat of our pants and we
could not put an actual value on it ahead of time, so we can't
do it with vinegar syndrome. There's such an operation that these things are planned
for like eighteen months ahead of time, which is why they didn't have to
slow down all that much during the pandemic. So there's a lot that goes
into it. Let's see. Anthony wants to know can we see Celesti cats.
I can't believe my cats are getting a request for an appearance. There's
such a pain. But they are beautiful and wonderful and I love them very
much. Here's the thing, I have the door closed. I don't let
my cats in here when I'm streaming because they are such menaces. And there's
actually a cat hammock right in front of me, right behind my blackout curtain.
So what they like to do is this fun thing where I put so
I put the hammock down so that none of the light leaks through. But
they don't understand that, so they're constantly like pawing at it, like,
hey, where's my hammock? I want my hammock? And then the light
goes through. But you know what, just for you, I'm going to
open the door and should they come in, then you'll get to see them.
So I will be right right back. All right, let's go into
our schedule for this week, because that was a big thing. Today.
We are getting four regular Vinegar Syndrome titles and a VSU plus nine partner label
releases, and one of those will be from a brand new partner. Tomorrow,
we are getting a VSA. On Tuesday, we are getting our first
VSL title. Then on Wednesday we get a peak RAAMA. Thursday is merch
Day, Friday is another VSL release, and then Saturday is a VSA.
There is so much coming out this week. It is ridiculous that they're doing
right immediately, and he did exactly the thing I said he was gonna do.
He's looking for the havoc. That's big week. That was hilarious.
You want to say hi. Let's see the medics say hi Fluto KB.
If you see in the comments below, Eric is the one that made that
spreadsheet, this is why. This is why he immediately kicks the webcam.
It's amazing. Uh let's see, Joey says the Queen of Black Magic.
That's a possibility. Staffino is a radiant subscriber. Nice uh nreo fan.
I so badly want someone to release the Taiwanese and Sanity Wolf Devil Woman on
Blu ray with the proper sub Nice. I feel like that would be dog
eared, maybe for like a de canalog or something. Uh DC. Wasn't
there a Mexican Spider Man film back in the day? Could that fall under
sci fi. I think it was Spider Man by name only and had a
lot more sci fi to it. If I remember the film you're talking about,
Yeah, it potentially could, but in fact, the the sci fi
thing I did, I believe it said Eastern European sci fi, and you
would have to really bend definitions of Eastern and European to get to Mexico.
Let's see, could they release an anime film in four K like Wicked City?
I mean, I don't know if something would stop them, but I
believe somebody else owns the rights to that one already. The Hobbit is here
and Dave's here. What's going on? Anthony is very excited that you shared
the cats. Well, it's a bit of a nightmare, but I'm excited
to They'll glad to know they have fans. So we went over the schedule,
and we also have to go through and define VSL because we were getting
two of those for this week, and as Celesti alluded to earlier, they
really only gave us a small hint of what this is going to be.
And essentially this is called vs Labs and they are serving this as a kind
of testing area for releasing genres and eras of film that one might not immediately
expect to come from Vinegar Syndrome. Now, I I don't know exactly what
to think about this one, because they've released things like Resurrection from Christopher Lambert
and a lot of people looked at that and said, Wow, that's way
too new. Why are they putting that out? So it could be something
like that. They also said that it was going to be a different era,
So is it just potentially like, hey, the oldest Vinegar Syndrome film
is from this year, so it's going to be from older than that could
be. I'm curious to see what it's gonna be, but we're gonna have
to wait a couple days to see. In the first VSL, Ragnar says,
do you think they'll have added to existing order all week like they do
during the normal weekend sales. The sale literally is like seven days. Yes,
I believe that has been confirmed, because obviously it would be a little
awkward if you made a purchase today. They want you to continue coming back
all week long and just keep throwing it in there. And this doesn't really
cost them all that much if you just continue to buy from them, So
marketing would say it would be the best choice to do that. I can't
believe that the only site that does this to my knowledge. I think maybe
Severn did it for a second too, but like, this is such a
genius idea that I'm shocked that it hasn't caught on. Yeah, Severn did
it for one or two sales the exact same way Vinegar Syndrome did, and
then this last sale, the way they did it was just kind of a
cluster. I don't understand how you launch a sale that you want to get
all these people to and you make people repay for shipping every time, but
your system automatically refunds them. Weird. Yeah, poor choice. Yeah,
So just a reminder every single day until next Saturday, this entire first week,
twelve oh one pm Eastern, which means eleven am Central and nine am
Pacific, you are able to jump on Vinegar Syndrome and see something new every
single day. We're gonna get two VSAs, a VSU, two VSLs,
a Picorama, and a bunch new merch There's just a lot here. And
the biggest thing is if you are on the fence about subscribing or thinking of
subscribing or one hundred percent subscribing. Make sure you do that before you do
all these other things so that you can actually have the discount in place on
those other titles. And that means likely checking out for the subscription and then
re logging in and getting something else if you want to do it that day,
because it's not going to be in place unless the system sees that you
are currently a subscriber, and if you're paying for it that's not current.
Obviously. The last thing that I think we needed to highlight is that also
every day at twelve oh one Eastern, they are going to have ten items
that are going to be on sale for ten dollars each and when they first
announced that, they said that it will include things like VSUS, VSPS and
other releases. So it begs the question how many of these are going to
be available. The answer is probably not too many. They're not gonna be
able to sell three thousand VSUS at ten dollars. They would lose a ton
of money. So if you're wanting those ten dollars titles every day, you're
gonna want to get those pretty much immediately, and I would jump on those
quick. Min need to set a calendar reminder or something. I imagine it's
not gonna last long, especially if they put decent stuff up there, you
know, Like I mean, yeah, those titles that you were talking about.
I can't believe that that stuff is included. I kind of just assumed
it would be standard editions only, right. I guess we'll see. I
imagine every day there's gonna be a couple that are like old drive in double
features DVDs or something that are thirteen dollars during the sales. So if you
get it, it's not a huge discount now, but that's only gonna be
a small portion of it. I imagine they'll do some merch thrown in around
there. They even said I think some partner labels might be included. Yeah,
I think so. I'm really excited. There is a lot in here
that I would love to see, first of all, just sell out of
some limited editions. There's stuff that's been there for a long time, and
the biggest thing, and I know that we're like six minutes away, so
I'm gonna say this with a grain of salt, but also, don't kill
yourself over this. If you can't afford it, don't go Hogwild. Subscribing
is a lot of money. It's a big investment, and this is by
definition like genius marketing, and it makes people super crazy of it. I
mean, we're sitting here just talking hyping it up for an hour, and
we're going to discuss it for like an hour afterwards. So I understand that
that's what they're doing. And the biggest thing is they get a ton of
traffic from this Vinegar syndrome is always on boutique collector's minds all year long.
And I like that, and I like the films that they put out,
but I also know that this is a huge point of privilege for people to
buy these or be a subscriber or what have you. There's a lot that
comes with that. Of course. Yep. I'm only going to be able
to do it because of a PayPal pay in twelve I think, is what
I'm gonna go for. I really hope they let me, because I don't
really have a backup plan. Pay in twelve years DZ is today the day
that the man with the severed arm finally sells out? I hope. So
come on. David says subscribing is fun but not worth it distract from other
labels and releases I would normally buy. Yeah, depends on the person.
Sure, I will say that that is true. I feel like I've put
a lot of my time and energy into thinking about watching and you know,
just processing vinegar Syndrome releases at the expense of other things, you know,
and I enjoy it, so it's okay. But you know, I do
think sometime like I feel like all I watch is Vinegar Center just to make
it worth it, because if I get it all in the mail, I
don't watch it. That's a problem. But you know, it's always a
balance that you got to kind of figure out. Absolutely Red Blake, which,
by the way, Red Blake, thank you. He's the newest patron
for the channel. He says, ten titles for ten dollars these days,
sounds like I'm on the hook for one hundred dollars a day. Happy New
Year, by the way, thanks. Yeah, it is a really interesting
way to bring people in. And again, if you are after those ten
dollars titles, you're gonna have to do some of them quickly. And I'm
really curious about some of them, like if they actually put out I don't
know, like six strings Samurai would make the most sense to me. I
know that overall for the VSUS, that's the one that's undersold the most.
How many can they genuinely afford to sell at ten dollars because if they put
up thirty of them, even people that wouldn't be interested in that, seeing
a VSU at ten dollars is like, that's very cheap, and I'm sure
they jump on it. I would imagine they only did it. They would
only do it if they've already broke it, even on it, or made
some money on it, and they can afford to, you know, entice
people with essentially a free one. You know that's true. And uh yeah,
I'm sure it's not going to be like a roadhouse or anything like that.
But very curious to see how they're gonna do this. Quiet Rob says
I would consider severed arms selling out. Today is my birthday present. Love
that movie Happy Birthday, Choir Rob Birthday. Kobe Fad says, I can't
remember how long I've been a said, but here I am doing it again.
I was trying to think of that earlier because I can't remember the first
year that I actually subbed. It has been God, I think it was
like twenty seventeen or eighteen at this point. Real quick, Anthony, I
see you're cooking vegan ramen. Shout out Vegang, Vegan Gang. What kind
of vegan ramen do you make? Because I have a few that I like,
but I'm curious which one you're making. Waves says, good morning,
lovely people. Does the app have Apple Pay? Not sure? What are
you looking forward today on the sale? I don't know. Actually, if
it has Apple Pay, I imagine you have to do I don't know.
To be honest, I've been kind of turned away from the app because I
have an iPhone and they don't. I don't know if it's the same for
Android, but they're not usually allowed to show the adult titles, which is
ridiculous, that's silly. The reason I don't use it is because that doesn't
show how many are left in stock, which is like almost always why I'm
checking. So you know that makes sense? All right? We are down
to less than two minutes and so much to get here. Just a reminder
as what they are showing us on this site relaunching with subscriber week beginning your
uh, and this is why we've been talking about this. Your only chance
to become a subscriber in twenty twenty three. That alone makes it sound like
they are not going to do the halfway subscription this year, which I don't
know why, but that seems like a bad choice to me. I agree.
Here's what I was thinking. It says your only chance to become a
subscriber in twenty twenty three. I mean that wording is kind of specific,
but the way I read that at first is like, this is your one
chance to be a subscriber for all of twenty twenty three, right as opposed
to another chance to do it in the second half. I just I can't
imagine that they would do because that was the only reason I did it at
all, because you know, I wanted to try it essentially with Halfway,
and then I was like, this is dope. I'm ready. I'm all
in for the full year, you know, right? Maybe, I mean,
they would know better than me if it's a problem for them or whatever.
This is true. We're at forty five seconds ten brand new Vinegar Syndrome
and sub label releases. The full Vineger Syndrome catalog will finally return so people
can stop resorting to eBay for some of these titles. Yeah, limited stock
of out of print slipcovers and boxes will be available. We didn't touch on
this, Maybe I should do that quickly, Don't Panic. Fade to Black
Spooky's Dolly DearS, Grave Robbers, the Thriller box set with the two slipcovers
and all that Scanner cop one to two with the two slipcovers, Grave Secrets,
VSA, Sweet Sugar and some additional Vinegar Syndrome and partner labels that were
at a print. They found some in the warehouse, so if you want
those, go for those quick. But it looks like we are finally about
to launch, and I am stoked just as all you are. Hey boy,
I might check out for a second. It's just because I got to
actually buy it, all right. We got a subscription. VSU is sidekicks.
What has been hinted at for quite some time, Vinegar Syndrome four K
release of From Beyond Vinegar Syndrome, release of Infernal Rapist, Vinegar Syndrome release
of Frostbider, and Vinegar Syndrome Made in Hong Kong, volume one. And
this is going to include The Demon's Baby, Erotic Nightmare and the Deadly Camp
fantastic. Let's jump in to some of these and take a deep dive.
Twenty twenty three subscription it is here, and let's see if they give us
any other hints about what is coming. We've got the current releases that we
have up there, and then not to be out done on the UHD debut
student Gordon's four k's the earls on lookout for the Blu ray debut of regional
chillers like Curse of the Blue Lights from nineteen eighty five. I have exclusive
new restorations of eighties horror classic like The Devonsville Terror Never on Disc, seventies
driving favorites like Arnold from nineteen seventy two, along with plentiful jolly Mexican exploitation
horror, our first ever Brazilian release, Wow, Never on disc, Slashers,
and much more. I know a friend of the channel Angel is gonna
love that first ever Brazilian release. Also, this year marks our tenth anniversary
preparing a mega ten film collection with springs together an array of exploitation insanity you
never dreamed you could see. That is interesting wording. On the four K
front, we're upping our game even further with The Killer assortment of films ranging
from Jali to Slashers to Monsters to a notorious early euro Gorefest. Even more
interesting, let's see, as a sub, you'll not only get every single
VS branded release at fifty percent off SRP, but your orders will ship before
everyone else's. All subs will receive exclusive fifth off discounts on each and every
title released for our sub labels, VSA, VSU. We've got some big
ones coming interesting VSL and VSP. And of course there's Peakorama, which will
continue to offer a wide array of rare, forgotten, underloved, and just
playing weird smut from around the globe, including the star studded and glamorous romantic
drama Babe from nineteen eighty one, and the hardcore action epic from Greece,
The Mark, which will be making its fully uncut video debut. Interesting.
Also interesting that they say every title released by our sub labels excludes VHS releases,
which tells me there is something coming VHS wise this year. Very interesting.
I am yeah. It seems like nobody's commenting all of a sudden,
because everybody's shopping with you, and whatever it takes, we're up for ten
dollars Trauma's pretty good at ten dollars. Let's see Vinegar Syndrome going out of
print, limited edition still in stock. Let's take a look at that and
whoops, did not mean doing click infernal rapist. Let's go oldest to news.
See what we got in here? Anything that looks super rare? All
right? Ten for ten dollars, last gasp, Rush Week, Vinegar Syndrome,
my Land versus Serena, Good Luck, Miss Wike Off for ten dollars.
Wow, Trauma for ten dollars. Pekarama Ladies Night and Her Wicked Ways,
Green Yellow Sucks Live for ten bucks. Minor premise for ten bucks.
Wow, the Canalog double feature for ten bucks. These are some really great
releases, all right. That is an incredible price on the of these.
Wow. I hope people are really jumping on that. Check the out of
print restock section? Oh uh? Did I skip? Oh right there?
Hello? Out of print Restocks WNUF Halloween Special New York Ninja. Wow,
they actually have quite a bit in here. Okay, I did it.
I am a twenty twenty three subscriber. Nice as of now the pay so
in case anybody doesn't know this, because this is the first time I tried
to do it. The pay in twelve option includes fucking interest, so it
would actually negate my coupon to do it that way. So I was like,
uh now, and I did the pay in four instead, and roast
that is going to hit this month. Whatever, I'll figure it out,
all right. I am going to look at the new partner label releases have
not done that yet. We're getting actual people from Factory twenty five. Is
this the film? I think it is? Uh yeah from twenty two Wow
interesting Attack of the Beast, Creatures from AGFA Brothers, Keeper from Altered Innocence,
the first VCR and cassettes, Go Hi Fi from Excuse Me from ETR
Media in between, Girl from Utopia. Canadian International Pictures is getting Kanasatake two
hundred and seventy years of resistance. I have no idea if I said that
correct. Lost Faith is coming from Saturn's Core Undead from Umbrella enter Umbrella is
the new partner label. What in the world? Wow? Wow wowow interesting.
So this says Umbrella Entertainment has been a one hundred percent Australian owned and
operated distributor for over twenty years. Their vast Home Entertainment catalog features an extensive
range of Australian classic, cult and exploitation films restored under the eyes of the
original filmmakers, all sorts from national arch underground collectors and local basements. Wow,
that's a that's a big name to bring in for that. And then
the last one today Yellow Veil is putting out when I consume, you gosh,
there is just a lot here. Let's see confirm subscriber from Manserfaus Productions
by for the Hobbit is a sub nice sidekicks is not included if you subscribe.
You got to order that separately, but subscribe first. Let's see.
And a lot of these are very Trauma's three dollars and fifty seven cents.
What in the world is there a glitch? Scolder likes undead quite a bit.
All right, I'm gonna deep dive into some of these sidekicks. We
knew this was coming, but I don't really know that this fit is some
of the hints that they were giving about the VSU for a while. So
this one is getting a four K region free Blu ray set. Nice four
K with HDR. And of course they're not listening to Albe Vision because they
don't use it, newly scanned in four K from the OCN new commentary track
with the director Aaron Norris. Fan commentary track with Joe Begis and Friends.
That sounds fun, Butcher on sidekicks. An interview with the director Aaron Norris.

with production designer Rubin Fried. Interview with film editor Bernard Wiser, The original
trailer, ten minute promo reel, ten minute promo, Jeez, forty page

Nice, nice, very interesting release. I'm gonna jump to from Beyond
on four K. Uh. Wow, that slip that's here is ak.
Yeah, they really dove in to the lovecrafting and coloring on that slip.
Uh. Barbara Crampton my favorite lovely movie. Glad we're getting that in four
K. This gets Wow, a lot of stuff here. Four K region
a locked Blu ray set with HDR newly scanned and restored, and four K
from the OCN commentary with Stuart Gordon. The cast commentary with screenwriter Dennis Paioli
re resonator looking back at From Beyond, a brand new thank you making of
documentary featuring interviews with Jeffrey Coombs, Barbara Crampton and Ken Foray. Wow.
The screenwriter Dennis Paoli, producer Brian Yusa, film editor Lee Percy, composer
Richard band Foley artist. Wow. They went all in on that, and
I am so happy with that. Everything else here it looks like it is
comprised of all of the previous archival features, which is great. The main
thing looks to be that making of documentary. I'm just looking at the ope
re stocks right now. There's a lot. There's a lot. I'm a
little overwhelmed, and uh there's a lot of stuff I already have, which
is good. But there's a lot of stuff where I'm like, oh,
that's interesting. I don't know what what what do we feel like? As
the musk grab from that section right now, Uh, let me see.
Uh. I know people are talking about Fate of Black a lot. Yeah,
I don't know. I don't know anything about it. Is it?
I mean, I'm guessing it's good. It is a wonderful movie, genuinely
like one of the best in the Vinegar Syndrome catalog. Okay, okay,
but the film itself wasn't out of print. It's just for the slip cover
there. Yeah. Well yeah, uh wow. They had the box set
for the Amitville collection and it sold out already. That's crazy. Uh.
The AGFA Horror Trailer Show. I've really liked that release. It's just trailers,
right, yeah, but it's it's AGFA and it's done in a way
that they they did it themselves curated. Yeah. Yeah, let's see a
lot of the stuff I'm clicking on. It's already gone. It might be
moved by the time I make up mind. Aran says a lot of things
aren't showing sub discounts, such as VSU releases. Well, Aaron, I
don't know if you know this. You only get a discount for the things
released while you're a sub. So if you're looking back at the past VSUS,
you do not get discounts on those unless you were a subscriber when they
came out. And it's not like you know, the The Roadhouse VSU that
came out. I was a subscriber when it was released, but I don't
get a discount on it now. It's that that period of discounts is over
because I only paid for that year. Can I go ahead and throw out
some recommended on this section. I'm seeing some good stuff that I already have.
Let's see that WNUF Halloween Special is awesome, and the Slip is really
cool. New York Ninja is really good thriller. Obviously, Nightmare Weekend I
did not like, but that Slip is amazing. So if you're like a
slipcover enthusiast, or if you do like the movie, I recommend that Morphan
Calor from Fun City is amazing. Definitely get that. The Caller from Vinegar
Syndrome. I love that movie a lot. I think it's great. One
Rebels of the Neon God. That film is amazing. Really is Aribato?
I love Aribatoh, We're all going to the World's Fair Natural Enemies. I
mean, there's a lot of great stuff here. I don't mean to overwhelm
you all, but like, this is some good stuff. Yeah, Jack
Frost is terrible, But that Slip was going for a lot of money,
so I don't know, is it gone already? Yeah? Uh, I
don't think the slip was up. That film itself was out of print,
so oh really yeah, shit, okay because h mvd rewind put that out.
Damn. Okay, Well that explains why it's so fucking expensive for resale
market. Inspector Ike has some of the slip back in stock, and that
movie was amazing. I loved Inspector Egg. Uh, yeah, I love
it. It's so good. Uh. In terms of heavy metal movies,
it's among the better ones. I've seen. Great comedy in there. Corn
Shucker don't sleep on the corn Shucker or in the super is amazing. Damn
done already. Huh. In the Soup, I imagine it has gone already
because that thing's sold out quick initially too. Nope, it's still there.
They got forty one left. Go get it. It's so good, it's
amazing. Uh. Blood Hunter's fun. I'm thinking about Beauty Day. That's
one I've had my eye on. I'm thinking about grabbing it. Yeah.
The Orgonian I really like too, and it's got some fun artwork. I
don't know. They just got a lot right now, yeah, recommend.
All right, I'm gonna dive into some more details on some of these new
titles. The Maid in Hong Kong Volume one set, which obviously implies there's
going to be at least a volume two. We got the Demon's Baby legend
has it many years ago I five evil spirits were trapped inside ornate jars and
sealed in the mountains to protect humanity from destruction. However, when a power
hungry ruler searching for treasure raids the secret chamber that houses these jars, he
brings them home to his five wives, along with the other riches he uncovers.
Unaware of the power contained in these jars, things take an unexpected when
the jars are accidentally opened and the rulers five wives all become impregnated with evil
fetuses hungry for human flesh. It is up to the palace's cook, his
secret girlfriend, and a local Taoist priest to stop these man eating babies before
they escape and destroy the world. Featuring an almost NonStop climax full of blood
and mayhem that is a lot to deliver on, The Demon's Baby is a
high energy horror film with a style and humor similar to Sam Raimy's best work.
This Hong Kong splatterfest is a must see for genre fans who think they
have seen it all. Wow, damn erotic nightmare. Sexually frustrated due to
his wife's medical condition, Yep finds himself preoccupied with dreaming about erotic encounters with
beautiful women. Thanks to a chance encounter, he yet meets a modern day
sorcerer who promises to give him erotic dreams beyond his wildest imagination. Yep can't
help but take up the man's intriguing proposition, and at first is very satisfied
with the arrangement. However, he Yep soon discovers that these dreams come with
the price, and he must find a way to free the sorcerer's spell before
it's too late. Appropriately titled Erotic Nightmares, a Hong Kong shaker that is
both equal parts sexploitation film as it is a horrific morality tale featuring an excellent
performance by Hong Kong legend Anthony Wong. Erotic Nightmares sure to arouse the interest
of any genre fan. So if you haven't seen Anthony Wong having erotic dreams
about other people, this is a good bye. It looks like I really
like that wording arouse the interest. Yeah, an excellent pun. Wow,
she mob has a slip back in stock nice I'm sorry, I feel like
I'm not doing my due diligence as co host right now. I'm just so
overwhelmed with everything. You're good. The Deadly Camp a group of friends take
a boat to a remote island to camp out and party for a few days.
After arriving on the island, they soon discover that the people they were
there to meet seem to have gone missing. What's even more concerning is that
the group of friends stumble across another group of campers who are also on the
island to look for their missing friends too. After learning that the island is
riddled with deadly traps, things take an even more extreme turn for the campers
when they find them themselves being stocked and killed by a bandaged maniac wielding a
chainsaw. Oh Boy. Unfairly labeled by many as the Hong Kong Friday the
thirteenth, this is a true to life slasher film made with a Hong Kong
flare. While borrowing heavily from many popular American horror films, The Deadly Camp
still manages to stand on its own, thanks in part to a cast of
young Hong Kong actors that ultimately leaves to a hefty body count and a surprise
ending. Wow. Hmmm, it's an unfairly compared to Friday the thirteenth,
right, yes, is that a dig at Friday the thirteenth, Like,
don't don't lower this film by comparing it to that? Possibly? Could?
I mean, honestly, I kind of agree, But that's another topic for
another day. Uh So some of the extras on this we got Erotic Nightmare.
The commentary track is with Sam Frickin' Degan, The Deadly Camp. There's
a commentary track with the Hysteria continues hit or miss for me. Then a
video essay about Anthony Wong, The Cat three King that is by Sam Degan
and Charles Perks. Wow. The Demons Baby, Yeah, lots of same.
We love Sam Degan around here. Oh yeah, The Demon's Baby,
a video essay by author and critic Alexandra Heller Nicholas Wow. And then finally
a forty page perfect bound book with essays by Bruce Holacek Erica Schultz in an
interview with actor Anthony Wong by Arnold Lanuk. I mean that seems like one
of the best releases in vinegar syndrome history. That's crazy. Yeah, wow,
wow, wow, wow, Okay, this is the one where I'm
like, I don't know about this infernal rapist. So this is the front
of the slip and this is the back. I like that they use that
imagery. At least I don't know about this title, says Carlos. A
serial rapist known as Elgato, is strapped to an electric chair and executed for
his vicious crimes, But before crossing over to the afterlife, Carlos is visited
by a satanic spirit in the form of a beautiful woman, who makes him
an offer that he cannot pass up. After literally making a deal with the
devil, Carlos is brought back to life and allowed to continue his drug field
spree of rape and murder in order to appease his new satanic ruler. However,
the police are hot on his trail after they discover that this new wave
of killings seem to be linked to Elgato, thanks in part to the signature
Carlos is required to leave behind at each murder scene, a six six six
carved of the victim's body. Hmm, okay, so I'm not gonna lie
to you. I was hoping that this was a VSA because I don't really
I'm not really interested in any of those historically, And I was like,
Okay, then I won't have to worry about it. But I guess I'll
be getting this in the mail, The Infernal Rapist. Uh, Okay,
we'll see. I'm going to keep an open mind. Okay, I'm gonna
hope that it's somehow subversive and uh not as offensive as it sounds like it
is. But we'll see, we'll see. Uh. This says this is
a truly one of a kind film that is sure to raise the eyebrows of
even the most jaded genre fans. Yeah. Interesting. New video interview with
the actor Juan Moro, new video interview with actor Fidel Abrego, new video
interview with actor Arputerro Mason, and then an audio essay by author and critic
Alexandra Heller Nicholas. Huh. I'm I'm not gonna scroll too far into some
of these pictures because I'm assuming I never do. You never know what's gonna
pop up. Yeah, the next one even looks Dangerous'm gonna go one more.
That's not too bad? All right? Well it is. It is
like a Mexican horror film, right, I mean, yes, that should
be interesting. I don't I honestly haven't seen much of any of those,
really, so I'll be excited to broaden my horizons a bit for sure.
Let's see. Frostbider is the last Vinegar centrom title, and this says,
long ago, the mighty Wendigo was defeated and buried in a secret place known
only to a select individual tasked with protecting this unholy ground lest it be revived
from the grave. When two arrogant hunters, Gary and Dave stumble upon the
Wendigo's final resting place and kill its elderly protector, they unknowingly revive the ancient
demon, which gorrily dispatches Dave, taking refuge with another group of I mean
that seems like a big spoiler. Taking refuge with another group of hunters in
a nearby cabin, the posse are set upon by all sorts of ghoulish creatures,
not the least of which is the Wendigo itself. Meanwhile, a young
woman named Sandy begins to experience visions telling her that she must now kill the
Wendigo. Interesting highly ambitious indie horror gem, which inexplicably remained nearly unreleased save
for some local screenings for a better part of a decade following its late eighties
productions. This is from nineteen ninety five. Interesting, featuring clever use of
miniatures, highly stylized camera work and editing, frequent gore, and loads of
wintry atmosphere. Huh that sounds actually pretty damn interesting. Yeah, I agree.
I'm excited. We got a new interview with the co writer and director
Tom Cheney, a new commentary track with Tom Chaney, moderated by Michael Felscher,
Interview with the producer, interview with actor Alan mad Lane, interview with
stop motion animator Dave Hetmer. That's interesting, interview with actor John Bussard,
interview sound editor and actor Paul Harris, and then some archival. There's all
kinds of stuff in here. Wow. Oh, it's a looks to be
a trauma film, archival, trauma introduction and promo video. Mm hmm,
I'm gonna take some look at the Yeah, that's good. I really like
Dead Sea Life's comment. That made me laugh. Dead Sea Life, I
don't want to see everything I bought. I'm embarrassed enough seing them in a
pile into the TV. Oh man, that's relatable content. Uh, what
is going on with the Oh wow, I mean, obviously cherry picking some
good pictures, but this actually looks really fun. Wow, I'm I get
in trouble for that one. Yeah, I don't know. You two is
violent. I was doing my room tour yesterday and I showed my my topless
Phoebe Bridges poster. That's like artistic rendition. I don't think it's a photograph.
I think it's an artistic kind of tracing or whatever of it. And
I was still like, I don't know if I'll get in trouble for that
one. Yeah, gosh, some of these still at ten bucks is crazy.
Yeah, I'm looking at that part now. This cover our for last
gasp was pretty sick. I've never heard of it. Is it good?
I have been putting this one off for a long time, so sadly I've
still not seen this one. Gotcha. I like this art and pay attention
to their disclaimer here on all of them. Inventory may be adjusted and or
the deal could be ended before the twenty four hour window ends. Yeah.
I imagine it's just they have a certain number of units that they're willing to
give them away at this price, and I ask for that. So Terry
says looked at the month by month breakdown, I didn't see the breakdown.
Where did I skip over that under this? Oh Jesus, yeah, I
didn't realize they had so much under here? Okay. January four releases we
already know that. February three releases, including gory Hong Kong Horror, The
Devonsville Terror, and then an Eastern euro sci fi Weirdness. March three releases,
including four K debut of a demented nineties classic three film Mexican gothic set,
and a four K debut of an eighties Italian horror. April Curse of
the Blue Lights Blu ray and four K debut of eighties regional slasher and bizarre
British exploitation horr. May five releases, including so that means this will be
a part of the subscription Vinegar Syndrome tenth anniversary ten film collection, plus two
more horror four ks and a truly killer set of surprise titles. Maybe our
best yet for the halfway June partner label only month as usual. July three
releases, including three horror and exploitation BLU rays, including a multifilm collection.
August a multifilm collection more regional horror and international exploitation. September Arnold Blu Ray,
a Spanish horror box set, never on Disc, Slasher and a squirm
inducing Hong Kong treat. October a horror box set, the four K debut
of a notorious euro gorefest. Two more never on blue slashers one has never
even been on disc, and then November the Big One three horror and horror
adjacent releases, a mix of Blu Ray and four K, including on some
never on disc titles and two additional surprise four ks. Wow, that's a
lot. The fact that the box that is included in the sub is pretty
damn impressive. I don't know about you, but that sounds like more than
nine hundred and eighty dollars worth of stuff to me. Oh it truly does?
I mean, I don't know. I'm kind of already like maybe I
should have taken more time than how I chose to pay for it, but
I don't regret buying it. We'll see if January, if I make it.
This is something that people have been looking at. They added reward points,
they've been doing that. You could see it at the bottom of the
page under where is it here? It said loyalty somewhere? Am I missing
it now? Or is it at the top now? I don't know?
Or is it on every title? I mean that could be a part of
it. It's not listed gift car music. Oh here it is VSMC rewards.
Click on that. Become a member and earn points and exclusive rewards every
time you shop. Sign up, create an account and get seventy five points.

fifty points to leave a review that's coming soon, twenty five extra points if
you put in a picture. You can add a video and a review that's
more points, fifteen points to like them on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter,
and subscribe on YouTube. All right, I have a mostly segment on my
channel where I do video reviews of this shit. Can I get like some
legacy points for all the right videos I've made? Five? Okay? So
basically a point is a penny. Five hundred points equals five dollars, and
you can redeem for exclusive to products wooden token, metal horns, coaster,
rubber wristband, a koozy keychain, film film real coaster. Oh my god,
that's so cute. The coaster. Oh my god, you have vinegar
syndrome, POGs and slammers. Wow, I've really I think I need that
coaster like really bad fuck punk vacation, keychain, vinegar syndrome, logo,
magnet sick. Damn. They've got some releases here, so it says exclusive
products. Does this mean you can only purchase them through point redemption or can
I just give them money for it the merch It looks like that might be
the only way. Damn. That's actually really cool. Quiet please door hanger.
That's fun. That's for when you got your Pikorama titles on right yep.
Wow, Vinegar syndrome flask set in a skate deck. Well, that's
just we're getting fancy here. Prestige for those with ten thousand in points.
Jesus, how many points do I have? Where do I check that I
need a coaster? Please? Please, bro, please just one coaster.
Let me see if any of these are listed under merch. I don't think
any of this is new sadly m making me sign in again. That's annoying.
There we go. A lot of people have been waiting for the slipcover
protectors. Those are still sold out. That's been sold out for like nine
months or something. Yeah, Oh, I have a question for you and
possibly the chat. I've heard that vinegar syndrome allows subscribers to choose their delivery
through USPS as opposed to FedEx. Miss delivers my packages nine out of ten
times at USPS has literally never done it once, so that would be amazing.
It is like a little it's a pretty substantial point of stress for me.
Whatever, something's on the way, and I'm like, I hope I
get it right. I have. I've had to knock on my neighbor's door
way too many times, and I've had to complain too many times and it
just keeps happening. So I don't know. Yeah, is that so?
Is that true? Do people know this is true? You can email them
and they will update it for you. That would be incredible. Okay,
I'm gonna do that. At least last year they were Yeah, media membrane.
So are these VSMC slip covers just previous slips? Newly branded VSMC.
It looks like they're just offering a couple of releases under there for you to
be able to get it. I mean, now somebody's pointing out that there's
different branding. Let me see, I have zero point Oh no, I
have two thousand points oh ship, So if you it does look like it
has a little different branding on the corner. Interesting, Okay, I got
a ship a ton of points. I can like get some of this stuff.
What do you what in token? That's kind of fun. I guess
I can get the coaster. We're all good. We are good. Ged
see life says hello, Dabor, I think you've received my infernal rent.
Okay, okay. I bought the the Fred Hobstead Collection I think is his
name, the hardcore gay porn actor. And it was just that and that
arrived at my neighbor's doorstep, and I was like, I just really hope
you didn't open it, because that might be seven of these slip covers with
new branding on it. What do you think of that? Let's see,
let me take a look. Uh are they for? I mean I'm guessing
they're for titles that are already out. Yes, all of those slipcovers are
long out of print, and a couple of them, like the Hearse and
Shot are very pricey. Shit beyond the Door too, bloody New Year,
House of the Dead. Well, I don't have any of these, is
the thing. So I guess I could just have a slipcover. But I'm
not that crazy yet yet. Is the offerative word there? Right? Right?
Oh? How I found my points? Somebody Anthony helped me out in
the comments. You go to the bottom of the site and then it says
explore and then you go to my points. I think, yeah, it
might not be working for everybody. I'm sure that they're getting a lot of
stuff. Oh, there's like a club membership here. This is kind of
fun. Also, you probably have more because you just went and got a
subscription. Yeah, so I'm currently this is cute. I'm part of the
sixteen millimeter club because I've spent five hundred dollars. Nice. When we get
to fifteen hundred, I'll be part of the thirty five millimeter. Now,
I wonder what the timeframe is on that, because I've definitely spent more than
that over the course of the year, which is a bit of a sobering
thought. But there is I see Darvin is here. Shout out Darvin.
The SMC rewards link isn't working for me ouch only through point. Yeah,
I mean that is smart. You don't get people out here spending a grand
to get a slipcover. Maybe how many? How many points do you have
already? What did it say for you? Two thousand? Nice? So
that's enough for two slipcovers, not for titles. I don't have, only
got to spend a few thousand more dollars and you you'll be able to get
the other only a few more thousand. Oh gee, wait, wait a
second. So if I have two thousand points, it means I'm about two
thousand dollars right, so I should be in the thirty four millimeter club.
You've probably got some sort of bonus for something. Okay, I wonder if
there's like a history you can look at your rewards. That's okay, But
it looks like when you get up there you get a point multiplier, which
is crazy. So there's a one point five point multiplier there? That's where
are we seeing this? Oh? Sorry? So when I'm in my point
thing and it had all those different things you could do to earn points if
you keep scrolling down, it'll say how to use your points and then redeem
for exclusive products. And then if you go down one more it says the
Vinegar Sindron Media Club and it has these Oh there you go. Yeah,
this is all very new to me, so I'm having fun with it.
Interesting. So the more you spend, the more you earn, which is
crazy. Yeah, they're really They've already done a pretty good job at getting
me to spend more money than I have, and they're just they just keep
coming up with new ways. Anthony is already at the thirty five millimeters Club.
Geez, I feel like I should be, but I don't know.
Maybe it's just not updating or something. I don't know. Oh my gosh,
everybody's crazy. You can use your points when you check out on anything,
saving them for VSA's and partners. Nice. Yeah, honestly, that's
probably the move. I buy enough partner label titles that I might be for
the best to use it that way. Ticks four K is awesome. I
love that film, and the transfer looks amazing. Yep, it really does,
all right. I think I dove into the regular releases. What about
the partners We only kind of looked at those. This is my area of
expertise slash primary interest. So let's see so actual people. This only had
a thousand slip covers. If you want this, this says on the precipice
of our college graduation, Riley is frantically searching for connection, jealous of the
job offer her classmates are receiving, and desperate to regain control of something.
She decides to win the affections of a boy from her hometown of Philadelphia.
An exciting, honest film by and about a young woman of color, kit
Zahauer's feature debut captures gen Z's anxieties and hopes as they are launched into adulthood.
Regent free commentary by the director, too short films by the director,
a trailer, and a booklet. Wow, I've actually heard decent things about
this film. Hmm. I wonder if there's any anxious gen Z people here
right now, but that might apply to I can't think of any, but
maybe you can. None of those exist ever, No, definitely, not
no Connie this month, and no fun City additions. Wait. I have
a dumb question. Did we already see the VSL did I? Did I
check out and miss that's that's on Tuesday. Okay, okay, cool,
let's see have a bit frazzled with all this. So I think there is
a rewards history, so you can see when you've earned rewards and what you've
earned rewards for. Okay, so that's good. So let's figure something out
here. And some of these things like when you can get this crazy branded,
very out of print slip cover for a thousand, but a key chain
is like seven hundred and fifty, that seems to be it's weird, huh,
a little odd. I was looking at it. I was like,
that seems low. Yeah, I don't know, maybe that makes sense.
DC says, uh oh, fifty points review. Get ready for an influx
of quick, poorly worded reviews. You know it. Uh, this film
is good. It has a slipcover on it, please purchase it today.
I like the slip never seen the movie. Yeah, it looks pretty.
I may I might watch it. And you do that for twenty films and
you get an out of print slip community like this. It's not this community.
It's for the casual fans for sure. Ye Wave says. Rush to
pick up the cash box set at the long went back and bought more vern
collar Patty Hurst with slips went back again and got the ten dollars Trauma and
minor premise. Very nice wave. Yeah, I think I'm gonna get Trauma
and the block title. Yeah. Show that third image of beast creatures.
So that's the the Oh. This is a very classic ag for slipcover.
And then look at this third picture. Yeah, oh my god, I
love him. He's so good. I love him. I would like him.
Please. What a perfectly shaped tree to not hide somebody standing behind it
holding up your creature. Wow, I'm gonna leave it at that. So
this one a beloved regional horror vortex that was conjured in Connecticut. This is
a triumph of a low budget ingenuity and an unknown galaxy. A group of
travelers crashed their boat on an island. At first, all is well,
but when a man takes a dip in an acid lake and becomes a steaming
pile of glop, it's clear that there's trouble in paradise. That's when the
Cult of Demon Dolls reveal themselves and their appetite for eating faces fueled by outrageous
gore. A sublime synthesizer score. Of course, and jaw dropping puppet effects.
This is what happens when a mid century creature feature collides with DIY surrealism
and everyone wins. So basically, this looks to be a sequel to the
third segment of Trilogy of Terror. Oh fun, I just made that up.
It's not actually attached. It just sounds like. Oh. I was
gonna say. I've been staring at that title for a minute on Keno Worver's
website and it finally sold out, so rip, I guess. But it's
a really good, really good set too. That's okay. Three D Blu
ray Rental has it, so I'll rent it. There. There's another tip
for that site. They have out of Prince stuff and you can rent it.
Thanks Chill Yees Starvin, I got the subscription. Anrio says, I
think I've seen this years ago and it was fun from what I remember.
Yeah, makes sense. Three D Blu ray Rental should sponsor my channel straight
up. I've been out agree with it. Altered Innocence is putting out Brothers
Keeper. This one says Yusuf and his best friend Mimo are pupils at a
boarding school for Kurdish boys secluded in the mountains of eastern Anatolia. When Mimo
falls mysteriously ill, Yusuf is forced to struggle through the bureaucratic obstacles put up
by the school's repressive authorities to try to help his friend, But by the
time the adults in charge finally understand the seriousness of Mimo's condition and try to
give him to the hospital, the school has been buried under a sudden,
heavy snowfall with no way out. Now desperate to reach help, teachers and
peoples engage in a blame game where grudges, feelings of guilt, and hidden
secrets emerge as time takes mercilessly on and threatens to run out. Wow,
that sounds really good. Unfortunately, the Blue Rays seems to not have a
ton on there. Yeah. I've noticed that with Altered Innocence that they don't
always stack their releases, but they're usually cheaper to kind of make up for
that. So it is what it is, you know. Yeah, I'm
usually something, you know, so as a sub I can get this for
sixteen forty nine right now. So that's not pretty good. Huh. Let's
see. Uh, Cam is bringing up did y'all grab the Caldron City the
Living Dead. I think a lot of people did. I still haven't watched
my blue ray of it, so I should probably do that first. It's
such a good movie. Yeah, I'm kind of a fulsy nube. I've
seen Zombie was just fucking amazing. But you know, I need to get
I have a triple pack from him. Wrong. I think it's flu underground
or something, but I need to check that out. So this slip cover
looks amazing. ETR Media the first VCR and cassettes, Go Hi Fi.
There's the front and here's the back. That is fantastic, This says the
first VCR. This is a documentary about the nineteen fifty six invention of the
first VCR, which launched the home video revolution. Cassettes Goo Hi Phi is
the story about the past, present, and remarkable future of the compact audio
cassette tape. Very interesting. There's a twenty five to thirty minutes of associated
trailers, commercials, and promo videos. Huh, pretty cool. Utopia's in
between, girl. Here's the front of the slip and the back and yeah,
this looks like a Utopia film. After being blindsided by your parents sudden
divorced, sixteen year old artistic, sardonic Angie Chin turns to secret hookups with
popular jock Liam behind the back of his door social media influencer girlfriend Cheryl.
I feel like that could have been written much better. Let's see, oh,
artistic, I wasn't sure if you said artistic or autistic. I definitely
would have specified autistic. Yeah, let's see. I think purchases are postponed
until the end of the week when they start to fulfill and ship, because
my purchase just now is not listed interesting under Culture Shock they have Death Collector.
It shows a slip in the photos, but does not show an option
or mention of a slip. Do we think it comes with it? If
that's what I think it is, which I'll come back to the partner labels
in just a second to look at the new ones Death Collector, Right,
that's the one that you're talking about. Yes, so this was before they
were a partner label. This is a title that is coming with a slip,
but this was before they were with OCM, so it is a completely
different slipcover and all that. It was when they were their own thing and
everything. Let's see everything down here before. I think that's the case,
am I remembering that, right, I'm not sure coming out. Yeah,
I had a little bit and looking at this Canadian International Pictures release and I
think I'm gonna buy it right now. Oh wow, looks incredible. So
Death Collector. This came out in twenty twenty one in June, so yes,
this was before they went they were an OCN partner label. All right,
let's get on that Canadian International title then, So this one is called
Kannatake two hundred and seventy Years of Resistance. I hope I'm saying that right.
Yeah, your guess is as good as mine. Honestly, I thought
that's staying a good attempt. Great back cover. Yeah, I'm I'm excited
to hear description. It looks just fucking amazing, honestly. And as they
are wont to do, Canadian and National Pictures just loaded it up with like
fucking ten bonus films, which I just love so much. Oh, thank
goodness. Okay, so this is thirtieth anniversary special Edition. In July nineteen
ninety, a dispute over a proposed golf course to be built on Kanian Mohawk
Lands in Ocak Quebec set the stage for a historic confrontation that would grab international
headlines and seer itself into the Canadian consciousness. Path Breaking filmmaker Alanis obum Swain
at times with a small crew at times alone, spent seventy eight days behind
those mohawk lines filming the armed standoff between protesters, the Quebec police, and
the Canadian Army. The result is a uniquely harrowing, unsettling, and impactful
cinematic experience. Wow sounds like my kind of thing. Honestly one of the
most important Canadian films of all time, this landmark documentary has been seen around
the world, winning over a dozen international awards and making history at the Toronto
International Film Festival, where it became the first documentary ever to win the Best
Canadian Feature award. In addition to this, the discs includes the three subsequent
films in the director's acclaimed Oka Crisis quartet, My Name Is Conna, Teosta,
Spud Wrench, Knaquaman, and the feature length Rocks at Whiskey Trench,
expanding on key incidents, characters, and themes from the original film. Good
Lord. I mean, that's a that's a heavy hitter right there. I
mean, that's just I feel like with every month there's at least one Partner
Label title where I'm like, oh, well, I have to get that
right, come on, And this is the one I think that sounds incredible.
Last month, I was Dressed in Blue. I got that shit quick,
all right. Lost Faith from Saturn scoo oh u, I just heard
what you just said. Somehow didn't sink in Dressed in Blue. Yeah,
that's like one of the most important films that any of the Partner labels have
ever put out. Lost Faith from Saturn's core. He lost his wife,
his patience, and his faith. Wow. Yep. This this is what
I think of when I think of somebody losing their faith. Well, that's
that's what happened when I lost mine. You know, just was a blood
bath. Really. Uh. Steve Nakota played by Joel d Winkoop, is
a good guy having a bad day after run ins with both the corrupt local
cops and a satanic biker game. His world has turned upside down when his
beautiful model wife is kidnapped by an evil karate master and is a nefarious henchman
who keep a harem of abducted women confined in a jungle prison. Obviously,
awaiting their sale into a white slavery ring. I mean, who among us
have not been through something like this? But which jungle prison? I have
so many to choose from? Yeah, you know, you got to pick
the ripe jungle present. Nakodas soon realizes that it will require much more than
just his heroic courage and martial arts expertise to deal to defeat his enemies and
rescue his wife, he must first reach down inside his soul and attempt to
regain his lost faith. This is a brain melting sov martial arts action passion
project. That's a lot of adjectives. It is who Sorry project from B
movie luminary Joeldi Winkoob, who wrote, produced, directed, edited, starred,
and even sang the film's memorable theme song, A Man of Hats Yeah.
Shot regonally in and around South Florida. This delivers a high octane roundhouse
kick of backyard karate hijinks, over the top amateur Thespians, and a head
scratching dose of Christian moral overton Okay wow. That lands somewhere between the bewildering
do all antics of champagne and bullets and a poverty row chuck Norris Epic that's
slot for eight hours of special features. Bro are you kidding me? Like?
Okay Cooley? Unearthed Extended director's cut introduction by the director, Original VHS
cut with optional audio commentary featuring Joldi Winkoop and the assistant director Sean McCarthy.
An archival making of documentary that's an hour long ninety minutes of dailies and behind
the scenes footage, archival news interviews and appearances. Flashback Opening, Flashback Ending,
a super eight millimeter film by the director that inspired this twenty eighteen sequel
short starring the director. Oh my gosh. That wow. I'm not gonna
lie to you. These are the type of releases that I am less inclined
to buy, but I understand. I'm still very glad that they exist and
they're being put out and respected and put in nice editions. I just only
have so much money and so much time, and I have to kind of
prioritize what I'm into, you know. Yeah, John mar Arsco got the
the hearse and pledginized slips from the rewards. Well, don't worry, you'll,
you'll you'll be back up to two thousand dollars soon enough. Just give
it a couple of days. Yes, by the end of the week.
So Undead coming from Umbrella, This is a really great film overall. This
is one that many that have been following the recent releases from Umbrella have probably
seen this one. Uh really, I've never heard of it. Yeah,
it's what year is this? It's fairly new two thousand and three, so
the copy here is amazing. An onslaught of meteorites crash land in the small
country town of Berkeley. The bombardment brings with it an other world, otherworldly
infection, the living dead or awoken in a small band of desperate survivors led
by local beauty pageant winner Renee and town Looney Marion fight for survival and a
world gone mad the Spearing Brothers. Undead is packed with action, loaded with
laughs, and filled with wild twists and turns, defining it as an OSSI
cult classic. None of these have new next to them, so it looks
like they're probably using all of the Umbrella extras that they had for their OSSI
release. However, this booklet featuring essays by bj Colangelo, poster with new
art by Chris Barnes that might be new and then want to Highlight. This
also has the CD soundtrack. Nice. I think I'm remembering this right,
Umbrella put out Martyrs right, Yes, okay, I have that one.
Do we think we might get that one? I mean, that's I wouldn't
be a radical if they somehow got us rights, that would be pretty wild.
I don't know if i'd have to buy it again, but that would
be really cool for people who don't yeah yet, because I mean, what
a film that is? Really? Oh yeah, and then Yellow Veil Their
last title for this month is when I Consume You. That's such a hard
title. Honestly, that art is great too, Yeah, it really is.
For Oh, it's from the director. They look like people? They
look like people? Was great? Did you see that one? Uh?
No, who is the director? Uh? The director is Perry blackshear,
Yeah, I don't know that one. So siblings, Daphnie and Wilson Shaw
practically raised one another. They've protected each other from everything life has thrown their
way. Daphne's professional life is soaring, and she's looking to adopt a child.
Wilson is interviewing for a position at a local school, hoping to become
a teacher, but Daphne is an unsettling, dangerous Stocker, whom she can't
seem to shake, Now threatening to destroy them both. They hunt for their
tormentor through the shadowy streets of Brooklyn, honing their bodies and minds for a
showdown. But this foe may prove to be more than they can handle.
They will break and rebuild themselves if necessary, to save each other and protect
the light they know is in this world for them, if only they can
persevere. Wow, lovely description. Shout out to Justin Liberty who writes these.
I always enjoy his writing. Yeah, he's great. So we got
an intro from the director on here. This one's region free actor commentary track
with Libby Ewing, Ewan Michelle and McLeod Andrews director commentary, Behind the scenes
feature atte deleted scenes with commentary, cast and director interviews, World premiere Q
and A at Fantasia Fest, an essay from journalist Craig ian Mann. And
let me see this limited edition slip cover is one thousand units only and uh,
let's see all right? That's it on it? Wow, interesting look
and release. For a second, I thought we lost our audience, but
there's still eighty six people in here. I guess everyone's busying. Thank you
all for being here, by the way, this is a this is a
nice turnout. Yeah, absolutely, and Brian, I really appreciate it.
Of course, thanks for coming on and for anybody that has not, I'll
say it again. I know that I said it before Celeste got on here,
but please subscribe to celest channel. Link is in the description below the
second week of the month, so lest we'll have a long video on the
channel that I really hope people watch and enjoy and find some solacing. You'll
see you'll see why. That'll be really starting to get teased at the end
of this week, but there's a lot of really cool stuff coming up on
the channel. I'm excited for that video. Yeah. I ended the year
with a couple of really dark months for my personal mental health, and so
I've kind of neglected the channel as of late. But I have been feeling
inspired again and I've put out two videos this week that I think are quite
good if you want to check those out. And I'm really going to be
going hard in twenty twenty three to make a go at this thing and really
get heavy back into doing film analysis videos because I know people really like those
and I'm they're very they're fun for me to do, and they're very fulfilling
for me to do. So yeah, come hang out if you want to.
If you want to be a part of the the coolest gay film club

there, YouTube dot net. Go subscribe. I'd like to change it up
sometimes as YouTube dot viz. Thank you, Wave, I appreciate it.
DC says, anybody seen the movie Jeremy. I'll let Celesti answer that first.
Did you see that one from Fundtine? No? And I saw that
it's back in stock. I don't know. I actually kind of am ignoring
the op section because they're not like half off like I'm used to paying.
And I really, I really cannot be out here buying twenty eight dollars titles,
especially right after I dropped nine hundred. I'm pretty good at finding deals,
just got to be patient, so I might just leave those where they
are. Shout out O C. Floydian. I don't actually know your name,
but you've been such an amazing supporter of my channel, and I appreciate
your comment, so thank you. I will say I've seen Jeremy and it's
there's a lot of it's a good film. It is a really well acted
film. The only thing I will say, though, is you got to
kind of be ready for that type of film and you watch it because it's
one of those movies where if you're in a bad like frame of mind when
you go into it, you're gonna be very anti the film for no reason.
And it's actually quite good. Interesting. I wasn't having all the fun
city stuff eventually, but it's hard because I came in kind of late and
a lot of that stuff has gone, so you know, yeah, it's
a it's a much more like subtle film than others, you know. Quick
comment about partner labels in general, I think a lot of people they think
that Venger Syndrome put out these releases or whatever or tide to the brand,
and so they think that it's all trashy stuff, kind of like that backyard
martial arts thing we were just talking about. But and I mean, that's
great, that's that's for you. That's awesome, and Vineger Syndrome does a
good job covering that stuff too. But there's a lot of like art house
labels and like really prestige, beautiful films that these partner labels put out,
and I just got to say, don't sleep on it, Like there's some
really, really incredible cinema to found. Yeah, I recently watched the Sorry
I Keep talking. I recently watched the Gaspernoe a Luxei Turna release. It's
so good, such a great film. The partner labels. Again, I
want to really just emphasize the fact that these are completely separate companies like Vinegar
Syndrome and Ocean. They're not helping with the licensing for most of these,
they're not helping with special features unless the partners ask. Most of the time,
it is a company that assigned the rights for a film, and Vinegar
Syndrome's partner company, OCN Distribution is handling the distribution. That's why it's in
their name. Paul got the Hong Kong sent and from beyond, looking forward
to what comes out the rest of the week. And again that's the other
important thing. Look at this banter up at the top right here. We
have stuff coming every single day for the rest of this week. So there's
a lot to pay attention to, a lot to love, a lot to
look forward to. Every single day at noon, Eastern and just simply can't
wait. I'll plan a monto completely agree. Deaf Crocodile put out some of
my favorite releases. I got to get into them. Honestly. I happen
to have from my video the other day some titles still sitting next to me.
That was Ilia, Murrametz and Sampo. There two Russian collaborations, I
think with Poland or one of the other European countries. They do some great
stuff. I really love what to do just on principle, the film restoration
stuff like that is work that deserves spotlighting and deserves support. Absolutely, some
pretty heavy hitters to start the year for In your Syndrome though, that's for
sure. Sidekicks, that's the VSU. Yes, yes, okay, It's
not really my thing, honestly, so that's okay. I am. I'm
not a check Norris person, though I do remember watching this one when I
was younger, and this one not being one that was amazing, but one
that I enjoyed much more than his other stuff. Primarily I was hoping that
there was a picture of her, of this Winnie Cooper being in this planet.
Mondo's talking about zero crad. That's one I almost blind bought it looks
really cool. I'm also curious to watch Vinegars Syndrome Ultra release of Sidekicks just
because Joe Begison Friends is on the commentary. And yeah, I as soon
as I saw that title, I knew Gearrett was going to be stoked to
see that one. Well it's more of a mainstream one too, right,
So I'm excited for the company that they got it and that they're putting it
out and that it'll get a lot of attention well usually VSUS that's what they've
tended to be so far. Yeah, that's right. I think you're right
on that. I need to get the Cloak and Dagger one. I rented
it and I watched it and I really liked it. But gorgeous. Really,
it's just expensive. Yeah, like Flesh for Frankenstein too. I love
that film so much, and I just haven't bought it yet because it's just
there's just no way around paying under forty dollars for it. So, you
know, Sidekicks hasn't had a release since like VHS, so this is big
and uh yeah, great, great titles all around. I gotta be honest,
I'm very happy with this first month output, and then again what we
have to look forward to for the rest of the year kind of looks remarkable.
Yeah, the fact that that ten film box set is going to be
included in the sub is crazy. Yeah, that's that's a lot of fun.
It'll be a whole thing to get through all of it. But an
embarrassment of riches is the phrase that I keep coming back to with all this
stuff, Like, I'm happy that so much of this is amazing, but
I'm also like, I wish one month it would just be crap so I
could check out for a bit and catch up, you know. Yeah,
Now it's just it's just bangers all the way down, honestly. So Bronson
says no new fund City Editions isn't a good sign, And I would say,
just don't really take it as a good sign or a bad sign,
because them being on, if they are breaking out to do their own thing,
that doesn't make it necessarily a terrible thing. Waves has first time buying
anything from Vinegar Syndrome. So excited for the thriller box that pick up and
the rest of the movies very nice. I'm looking up the first VCR.
It has three views on Letterbox and case setsko Hi Fi isn't on there yet.
We're talking about real uber obscure stuff here. That's what I love to
see. So at the end of the month, we're going to be seeing
a bunch of reviews pop up. I'm sure. Yeah. Uh, Terry
says, definitely planning for the May flash sale pre order. If I remember
correctly, the pre order for that bundle would be in March. Yes,
it will be the last weekend in March historically, as long as everything is
the same, all right, my friends, We've ran down every title.
We went through the rewards program, we went through what's to come for the
rest of the year. We gave our thoughts on the subscription. Any other
final questions, comments, requests in chat before we call this a day.
I have a question for you. Did you watch what did you think of
Invisible Maniac? It is uh, it's a curio piece. It's not It's
not amazing. I can tell you're being diplomatic about it, so I'll just
say I didn't like it at all. Avery watched it Whisky and she hated
it. I thought it was at least interesting for what it was. It
was kind of fun to watch once, but that's one that you might find
on my eBay store. Right, it's uh if you like nudity. Oh
boy, yeah, I guess. I mean I I have some websites to
recommend you if you're right, that's a thing. But to reach their own
Wow, let's see Jeff Assbat Inspector IIx. So there you go. There
is the price for Inspector Ike great film, going for twenty four to ninety
nine for the standard. The limited slip that they had up it is out
already. Yeah, I'm think atting good luck finding the other print partner label
slips lately, Like I got the Buster Keaton one, I got Forbidden Love,
I got that one nice, and I got jack Bie Nimble. I've
just been I've just been having good luck lately, So I guess I don't
feel compelled to get a ship ton of them right now. That is a
solid release too, that Jackie Nimble. Stephen Billings, our friend here,
says, take a break, go get some lunch. What's lunch? Who
even Stephen? Maybe he's pronounced Bilings, Stephen Bilings. Dustin Lewis, what's
going on? My friend? Glad you're here? Yes, Rock Nightmare is
the same guy. From a bullet syndrome, and then obviously the untold story
that's what a lot of people have fallen in love with over the last couple
of years. David Lash says, same time tomorrow. Unfortunately, no,
I have to pretend to do other things for the rest of the week.
I could do it tomorrow, but then I actually have to work, so
that sucks. I can't just be streaming at the office. I mean maybe
I could try. I will be posting the announcements, of course, but
yeah, lots of stuff that are just really interesting this week, and VSL
is going to be very, very curious for the those that are paying attention
or are interested. Reconnected on Thursday will feature Will Dodson as it has on
the first Thursday of every month for the last few months. Looking to make
that a pretty much ongoing thing so that he could be here to talk about
all the OCN releases. Lots going on on there. And I think that's
all we got, so lest thank you so much for showing up today,
Thanks for hanging out and providing your wonderful insight. Well, thank you.
I really want to say it again. I appreciate you so much for your
friendship and your support and the invitation, and I had a blast doing this,
so good to do it any time you want for anybody else that is
in the chat if you have not checked out stuff going on with I mean,
there's so much right now. I don't want to really go through everything
necessarily, but shelf shock rewind is obviously the biggest one. You got to
make sure to jump on that to get your voting in by January fifteenth.
I think the link for that's in the just scription below. On top of
that, I've got year end specials coming out, I've got upcoming streams,
I've got other shows. I've got too much. But most of all,
thank you to all the patrons. If you are ever interested in being a
patron. Link for that is in the description below. You guys keep this
train running and I appreciate you more than you could possibly know. Subscriptions your
name on there. Subscriptions for things like this streaming service is not cheap,
so I appreciate that and it does help a little bit, even though I'm
still paying for some of stuff out of pocket. No big deal such as
life. Other than that, have a great subscriber week. Thank you all
for being here to celebrate the new year, and until next time, from
two collectors to all of you. Have a good night, be safe,
