Speaker 1: You are now listening to the Someone's Favorite Productions podcast Network.
Speaker 2: Hello everyone, and welcome to another wonderful Thursday here with
Speaker 2: the incredible mister Rogers, not that one, mister Craig Rogers. Welcome, sir.
Speaker 3: I'm not nearly as friendly.
Speaker 2: I can attest to that having meet you. Yes, that
Speaker 2: is true, quite hospitable though. I'm so stoked that you
Speaker 2: hear again tonight, Craig, of course from Deaf Crocodile, one
Speaker 2: of my favorites, one of the labels I work closely with.
Speaker 2: I am so honored to have you back.
Speaker 3: I love watching the show every week, so the fact
Speaker 3: that you let me be on it occasionally.
Speaker 2: Is be on it.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean I would do this every week, so
Speaker 3: it's just so much fun.
Speaker 2: This week is going to be an interesting one. We
Speaker 2: planned the topic a while ago. But what's funny. I
Speaker 2: thought there's gonna be a lot more announcements this week.
Speaker 2: We only got like just under thirty to cover.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I jumped into Instagram today to try and at
Speaker 3: least get some idea of what was going to be
Speaker 3: coming tonight, and I'm like, I thought I did something wrong.
Speaker 3: I'm like, I scrolled just a little bit, and I'm like,
Speaker 3: I thought that stuff was last week, right, Yeah, not much,
Speaker 3: So we'll just have to yack longer because you know,
Speaker 3: there's no way we're letting you out of here early.
Speaker 2: That's true. Yeah, we definitely got a lot to cover.
Speaker 2: I know that we will absolutely be making up for it.
Speaker 2: One thing before we get into all of the other stuff.
Speaker 2: Do you want to maybe highlight some tomorrow announcements for
Speaker 2: Deaf Crocodile.
Speaker 3: Uh? Yeah, let's do this. Mutant Aliens. It's our next
Speaker 3: Bill Plimpton release, and that is the really cool artwork
Speaker 3: he did specifically just for us for this release. Yeah.
Speaker 3: I mean, if you know Bill Plimpton stuff, there's not
Speaker 3: much more I can say. It's it's it's just wild.
Speaker 3: And this one is kind of like his take on
Speaker 3: a fifties sci fi film in the only in a
Speaker 3: way you like, only Bill would think up. I'm pretty
Speaker 3: sure he had said that the inspiration for this was
Speaker 3: the that first dog in Spacelika. It just hit him
Speaker 3: one day that when he just he realized that they
Speaker 3: sent the dog up but the dog didn't come back right,
Speaker 3: And he thought, well, that's just kind of horrible. What
Speaker 3: you know, what if we sent a human up and
Speaker 3: then just we're like, oh well, and that kind of
Speaker 3: inspired mutant aliens.
Speaker 2: This is going to be a pretty incredible release. Glad
Speaker 2: people seem to be into this. This is a big
Speaker 2: one and this will now be the third so far
Speaker 2: Plimpton release. And we also got the standard art on
Speaker 2: this incredible looking. Should we cover some of the special features, because,
Speaker 2: of course, I do.
Speaker 3: Want to point out that we are intentionally because we
Speaker 3: are again collectors ourselves and we have OCD. The artwork
Speaker 3: for all three on this wrap has a very similar
Speaker 3: layout and style intentionally because they're meant to look like
Speaker 3: they go together.
Speaker 2: Right right, and someday they may There could be a
Speaker 2: Limpton box in the future.
Speaker 3: No.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So we got another conversation with Bill Plumpton on here,
Speaker 2: we got an audio commentary, more shorts just as stacked
Speaker 2: as the last couple that we've put out with plumped in.
Speaker 2: This is incredible. This might be the one I'm looking
Speaker 2: forward to the most because I've not seen this one
Speaker 2: in a very long time.
Speaker 3: I feel like it is it is, it is wacky.
Speaker 2: It's a it's gonna be a fun one. And speaking
Speaker 2: of wacky, the other title for this month. Uh, this
Speaker 2: is the first time I saw the art, by the way,
Speaker 2: is when you sent this today. Yeah, he digged incredible.
Speaker 3: Yeah it's Tony Stella, Like you can't go wrong. Yeah.
Speaker 3: He you know, he's done quite a few covers for us.
Speaker 3: Since he started doing those for us, he's kind of
Speaker 3: kind of blown up a bit, like yeah, he's so
Speaker 3: he's he's a bit harder to get now. So we
Speaker 3: had asked him about this because this title has been
Speaker 3: in our in the World works for a long time,
Speaker 3: and he had staked his claim on it early on
Speaker 3: because he's a huge Japanese cinema fan. Right, So you know,
Speaker 3: like a year, two years goes by and I reached
Speaker 3: out to him again. I'm like, hey, do you remember
Speaker 3: that Japanese film you wanted to do, like you think
Speaker 3: you can still do it? And he's like, he's like,
Speaker 3: I don't really have much time but uh for that film. Yes,
Speaker 3: So this might be the last thing we get from
Speaker 3: Tony Stella because he's just too busy now. But yeah, again,
Speaker 3: he knocked it out of the park. It's it's it's fantastic.
Speaker 3: I mean I love everything about this release that the
Speaker 3: trailer turned out incredible both the again once again, the
Speaker 3: rap artwork two versions we like so much for like, well,
Speaker 3: screw it, they'll do both of them. So the rap
Speaker 3: is reversible. You can you can set it up to
Speaker 3: look whichever one you prefer.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 3: So, yeah, it's it's a It is a damn cool movie,
Speaker 3: just a horribly horribly bad title. I can't google it, no,
Speaker 3: So it's it's like, you know, we I'm always talking
Speaker 3: about how we make life hard on ourselves by picking
Speaker 3: movies nobody's heard of, and now we pick a movie
Speaker 3: very few people have heard of and they can't even
Speaker 3: google it to find out what it is. So yeah,
Speaker 3: it's And uh I had mentioned on our podcast the
Speaker 3: other day like I hadn't seen Brandon to Kill. I
Speaker 3: bought it from Criterion a long time ago and sat
Speaker 3: on the shelf and I'm like, all right, we're releasing
Speaker 3: this people. You know it's the same writer. I should
Speaker 3: watch it. So it popped it in and like halfway through,
Speaker 3: I was like, so, why is Brandon to Killed? Like
Speaker 3: put up on a pedestal and got a Criterion release
Speaker 3: and this is you know, it's on a pink film
Speaker 3: multifilm set, you know, that's not been restored, and it's
Speaker 3: there's a few reasons. The title is certainly one of them,
Speaker 3: the fact that there just weren't elements. You know what
Speaker 3: we what we used was a very very very beat
Speaker 3: up release print. The reason I said this has been
Speaker 3: in the hopper for almost two years with us is
Speaker 3: because it's taken that long to get it looking pretty
Speaker 3: good looking and sounding audio mechanics. Those guys Burbank did
Speaker 3: an amazing job with the sound as well. So it's
Speaker 3: finally ready. And yeah, if you like Brandon de Keil,
Speaker 3: you were going to love this film.
Speaker 2: So in a way that Gary can understand. Here, what
Speaker 2: is the synopsis of Inflatable Sex, All the Wasteles? We
Speaker 2: have not said that.
Speaker 3: It's hard to explain.
Speaker 2: So it's it's an art house film, very well done.
Speaker 3: First of all, if you can explain it, I'm going
Speaker 3: to let you go first. And if it's that sounds incorrect,
Speaker 3: I will jump in. But it's it's complicated, you know,
Speaker 3: it's it's like a noir where you know, not everything
Speaker 3: is what it seems right. And then add to that,
Speaker 3: they're playing with time and space and so things are
Speaker 3: hopping around, so it's a bit confusing, but basically as
Speaker 3: a private eye slash hitman is hired to find somebody
Speaker 3: and kill somebody and who is who gets confusing?
Speaker 2: Hired to find and kill somebody every day at three o'clock,
Speaker 2: and the story goes in lots of metaphorical different places
Speaker 2: and the whole every day three o'clock thing. You can
Speaker 2: see why that second cover on the right is so
Speaker 2: meaningful for this title. Now, it is a story that
Speaker 2: you got to pay attention to. You'll you'll find out
Speaker 2: the actual meaning behind the title near the end of it,
Speaker 2: and it's uh, it goes there. It is a very early,
Speaker 2: not super pink pink film, I would say pink ish,
Speaker 2: but definitely associated with pink films, and one that you
Speaker 2: certainly don't watch to get a rise out of because
Speaker 2: there's nothing erotic about this film.
Speaker 3: There there's there's there's some nudity, not a ton but
Speaker 3: it is not meant to be titillating. It is it
Speaker 3: is harsh, Yeah, it's it's I hate that it gets
Speaker 3: lumped in as a as a pink film, which it's
Speaker 3: just not really right.
Speaker 2: But it's a it's a really wonderful film, really wonderful release.
Speaker 2: You got a lot of stuff coming in. It's you
Speaker 2: had an audio commentary from Arnovet and Mike Leader attached
Speaker 2: to this one. Uh you hat a visual essay from
Speaker 2: me and doctor Will Dodson. Uh what else we got
Speaker 2: on this one? Uh?
Speaker 3: Terrific essays. I am never ready for this. I apologize.
Speaker 3: Uh do you have the information in front of you?
Speaker 3: And I don't.
Speaker 2: Well, I just realized that the list was not in
Speaker 2: the pictures that I was living.
Speaker 3: It's it's uh, well, there's three essays Christy Waltshaw and
Speaker 3: Alexander Nichols article, I get her name wrong, Nicholas Nicholas,
Speaker 3: and they're all all three are terrific. So like, yeah,
Speaker 3: there's an extra there's an extra essay in this one. Yeah,
Speaker 3: it's it's a it's a really good pack release all
Speaker 3: and there's also it wasn't it's interesting it was it
Speaker 3: came in late, so it didn't get listed on the
Speaker 3: j card on the packaging, but there's an interview with
Speaker 3: the producer who was one of the few female producers
Speaker 3: and back in the day in Japan, particularly working in
Speaker 3: pink films. So there's a really interesting interview with here
Speaker 3: that's been translated that's also in the booklet.
Speaker 2: I want to share a little peak behind the curtain
Speaker 2: because you've mentioned that you can't google this title. My
Speaker 2: wife is the one that has been working on the
Speaker 2: transcriptions for the commentary for this and after the first
Speaker 2: I don't know half hour of the commentary, she said,
Speaker 2: what have you done to my search history? To me?
Speaker 2: Because not only is she just transcribing what is being said,
Speaker 2: but making sure that the words are accurate, and so
Speaker 2: going to look up the titles that they bring up
Speaker 2: to make sure the year is right, making sure that
Speaker 2: we're doing it properly. And it's it was quite a
Speaker 2: we'll say, colorful commentary that you're going to enjoy this.
Speaker 2: But the big thing is Mike Leader and aren't Venimus
Speaker 2: speak very quickly? And there's so much information on this
Speaker 2: one legitimately like film school in a box in this commentary.
Speaker 2: It's an incredible release. You can hear more about it
Speaker 2: in the podcast episode going live tomorrow. As soon as
Speaker 2: this title goes up for sale, I think they'll be
Speaker 2: noon eastern, Yeah.
Speaker 3: New Eastern, nine am Pacific. Both of these films will
Speaker 3: be available if you've signed up for our newsletter, you'll
Speaker 3: get an email which Gmail has graciously decided to pull
Speaker 3: out of your inbox and put under their categories for
Speaker 3: either update or promotion. So if you're looking forward in
Speaker 3: your inbox, they may have moved it on you because
Speaker 3: I was looking for the one I sent to myself
Speaker 3: and couldn't find it. I'm like, I just sent I know,
Speaker 3: I sent it to myself, and yeah, so they just
Speaker 3: move your email to be helpful. It's not helpful.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not, especially with how many questions you get
Speaker 2: about the subscription, which is a good transition to which
Speaker 2: one of these titles is coming in all the subscriptions?
Speaker 2: What can you share for that?
Speaker 3: Inflavable sex Doll will be going out to everybody. The
Speaker 3: people who have twelve month subscriptions will get an email
Speaker 3: to add on the Bill Plimpton, much like last month.
Speaker 3: If you have an international subscription or if you have
Speaker 3: a six month subscription, both titles are already included.
Speaker 2: We got a question for you earlier from Russ. It's
Speaker 2: Russ Craig. When is our Canada getting a reprint?
Speaker 3: It is in the works. We've just got just too
Speaker 3: many things going on at once.
Speaker 2: It is a wonderful we'll get a chance.
Speaker 3: There's definitely a re issue coming, and it will We're
Speaker 3: transitioning everything to the nicer cases, so everything will look
Speaker 3: nice on your shelf. But yeah, it's it's in the list,
Speaker 3: it's coming. We just we just got one batch of
Speaker 3: reprints done and the Patushco Fantasy films those are coming.
Speaker 3: All reprints of those coming very soon. So it's just
Speaker 3: a lot to get through, but it will be reprinted.
Speaker 2: Uh. And now for something a little bit different, wants
Speaker 2: to know if you're gonna be releasing the new Bill
Speaker 2: Plimpton film slide. Uh. I don't think that's in the
Speaker 2: works yet. But one thing I can say is if
Speaker 2: you buy a whole bunch of Bill Plimpton stuff from
Speaker 2: Deaf Crocodile, that would send a message to mister Plimpton
Speaker 2: that you want.
Speaker 3: Indeed, he does pay attention. A yeah, but there there is,
Speaker 3: there is. There's nothing signed, but we're planning more Bill
Speaker 3: Plimpton releases. So I have a spreadsheet with all of
Speaker 3: his features and elements that are available, and and then
Speaker 3: that includes a mile long list of shorts. So yeah,
Speaker 3: he's got he's got a lot, and we would We
Speaker 3: would love to release all of it if possible, But
Speaker 3: there's even I don't know if it's even possible. But
Speaker 3: like he did a ton of commercial work. It'd be
Speaker 3: so fun to be able to release, uh, just a
Speaker 3: compilation of all the ads he did for TV. That
Speaker 3: would be fun. Music videos. He did a ton of
Speaker 3: music videos. But writes issues on that kind of stuff,
Speaker 3: music videos and and and advertisements. He's like, yeah, it
Speaker 3: was all done work for hire. He's like, I don't
Speaker 3: have the rights to that stuff, so it might make
Speaker 3: it difficult, but but he's got plenty of other stuff
Speaker 3: that that we should be able to get our hands on.
Speaker 3: So more Bill Plimpton, I'm quite certain will be coming
Speaker 3: from us. Nothing signed, so don't hold me to it,
Speaker 3: but but hopefully that is the plan.
Speaker 2: There's lots more hints and just flat out things revealed
Speaker 2: in the Deaf Crocodile podcast. Make sure you download that
Speaker 2: tomorrow everywhere you get your podcast. It was a fun episode.
Speaker 2: We had a long conversation about other physical media that
Speaker 2: wasn't Deaf Crocodile. It was a nice change of pace
Speaker 2: on that front. Yeah, check it out, and.
Speaker 3: I recorded it inside my car.
Speaker 2: And you can't really tell. I edited out all of
Speaker 2: the failures that we had.
Speaker 3: At the beginning. Yeah, I think. I think I kept
Speaker 3: trying to connect to the Wi Fi and the and
Speaker 3: the Airbnb. I was sitting outside in the car.
Speaker 2: Glad you're home, Glad you're safe. Recent watches, anything that
Speaker 2: you've watched in the last four years that you want
Speaker 2: to hide.
Speaker 3: Uh, I've just been watching having some Loney tunes playing
Speaker 3: in the background while I work. Does that count?
Speaker 2: It does? It very much does. And I'm sure we're
Speaker 2: going to talk about one of those in your pickups.
Speaker 3: And I was very thrilled. I was happy to see.
Speaker 3: I was watching one of the early Tasmanian Devil cartoons
Speaker 3: and I was happy to see the Newton rings that
Speaker 3: happens when two pieces of cell animation touch each other,
Speaker 3: popping up on Warner Brothers Looney Tunes, and I'm like, good,
Speaker 3: it's not just the stuff I release. It just makes
Speaker 3: a weird looks like wet rainbow. You know, if you
Speaker 3: don't know what it is, you think it was some
Speaker 3: sort of damage for artifacts that was left in But
Speaker 3: that's it's just what happens when two pieces of plastic
Speaker 3: touch each other.
Speaker 2: Makes sense. It can all be perfect. The one thing
Speaker 2: I wanted to highlight this week I finally got around
Speaker 2: to the Scala documentary that Severn had put out.
Speaker 3: I love that cover. I don't know why. I really
Speaker 3: cool cover.
Speaker 2: It was also released in the UK by I Believe
Speaker 2: the BFI. The documentary itself is marvelous. If you are
Speaker 2: somebody that has ever been attached to like a counterculture movement,
Speaker 2: or a fan of a single theater, or somebody that
Speaker 2: longs for something like that, this documentary goes there. There's
Speaker 2: so much information about, you know, this wonderful period of
Speaker 2: you know, just an underground movement. Literally, I mean you
Speaker 2: get pictures of Iggy Pop on the Stooges and Boy
Speaker 2: George Kim Newman is featured heavily in this. There's there's
Speaker 2: lots of directors that you'll recognize the names of their work,
Speaker 2: that were introduced to some of their most influential films
Speaker 2: literally at the Skala. It's an incredible, incredible documentary. I
Speaker 2: don't know when I will ever be able to finish
Speaker 2: the like eleven hours of extras that came in this
Speaker 2: package to be able to but the documentary itself magnificent
Speaker 2: and worth a watch for any film fan. It is
Speaker 2: completely completely worth.
Speaker 3: It sounds cool, pickups.
Speaker 2: What do you have to share with the group, Well,
Speaker 2: we'll start off.
Speaker 3: Right at the top with Looney Tunes, since we just
Speaker 3: mentioned it. I, like many other people, bought the Collector's Choice.
Speaker 3: I had bought volume one, and I had bought Volume two.
Speaker 3: I hadn't bought three yet, and then four was announced
Speaker 3: and I had them in my cart, and then they
Speaker 3: announced the one through four set, and I'm like, you bastards,
Speaker 3: So I gave my one and two to my friend
Speaker 3: and got the one through four set for myself because
Speaker 3: it would have cost about the same to buy yeah,
Speaker 3: screen four as it did to get all four. And
Speaker 3: then I had mentioned in the discord that the Looney
Speaker 3: Tunes Platinum Collection, which is the one I think that
Speaker 3: came up before Collector's Choice, Volume one had a really
Speaker 3: cool media book release that was really neat, and then
Speaker 3: Volume two and three just had standard Blu ray cases
Speaker 3: with a slipcase, and I got Volume one media book,
Speaker 3: I got Volume three, and I couldn't get my hands
Speaker 3: on Volume two because for whatever reason, it was out
Speaker 3: of print. Quick went for stupid money on eBay, but
Speaker 3: friend of the show, Gauge reached out to me in
Speaker 3: the Discord and he's like, hey, I have that, let's
Speaker 3: work out of trade. So Volume two Platinum is finally
Speaker 3: in my hands. I would not have gotten it without
Speaker 3: that trade.
Speaker 2: On that note, I will say the Discord does magical
Speaker 2: things to bring people together. And if you want to
Speaker 2: be a part of the Discord or earned some deaf
Speaker 2: crocodile swag, you can still sign up for one of
Speaker 2: the Patreon promotions right now to get in the Discord.
Speaker 2: You sign up at the twelve dollars plan or higher
Speaker 2: and pay for a year in advance, and you get
Speaker 2: a couple free gifts. I will send you some stuff.
Speaker 2: I got a full spreadsheet to check out. And you
Speaker 2: are the main reason, Craig that a lot of that exists.
Speaker 2: So thank you again publicly. Now I can say since
Speaker 2: the first time I was in your garage on the
Speaker 2: verge of tears saying why are you being so generous?
Speaker 3: Because you've helped us incredibly and you're not an asshole.
Speaker 3: I still there are two big checks next to you.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, If you need some help, then you get help.
Speaker 3: That's just how it works. So only a few more pickups,
Speaker 3: and all of these were the four discs I got
Speaker 3: from the Criterion sale and one of their previous sales.
Speaker 3: Else I had picked up Devil in a Blue Dress
Speaker 3: because it was a film I'd always wanted to see,
Speaker 3: and then when they put out a new release of it,
Speaker 3: I'm like, all right, now's the time, and loved it.
Speaker 3: So Carl Franklin's one false Move seemed like an obvious pick.
Speaker 3: Never seen it blind By, but if it's half as
Speaker 3: cool and stylish as Devil in a Blue Dress, I'm
Speaker 3: going to love it. And I've heard nothing but great
Speaker 3: things about it.
Speaker 2: It is it is quite yes, especially man, those first
Speaker 2: twenty five minutes of that film are rough.
Speaker 3: This one technically isn't a blind By, but I think
Speaker 3: I probably saw it on VHS when I was a teen,
Speaker 3: don't remember. I know I've seen it, but I don't
Speaker 3: remember anything. So Michael Mann's thief glare there you go?
Speaker 3: So that seemed like a no brainer. I've liked most
Speaker 3: everything I've seen by Michael Mann. Another blind by. This
Speaker 3: one is almost entirely inspired by the absolutely incredible cover artwork,
Speaker 3: and then I and then I read a little bit
Speaker 3: about it and I heard it was like, oh, that
Speaker 3: sounds actually pretty cool, but it was definitely the cover
Speaker 3: artwork that sold me on. Oh yeah, all that money
Speaker 3: can buy just super cool artwork. So I'm hoping to
Speaker 3: enjoy that. And how did you get in here? Kiddy?
Speaker 3: All right?
Speaker 2: They were asking for cats earlier, so that, well.
Speaker 3: Here you go, there's a cat. And then the last
Speaker 3: one another blind By and this one. I think every
Speaker 3: single member of your discord up a copy of the
Speaker 3: new Godzilla, because yeah, everybody's posts and what they bought,
Speaker 3: they were all very different, except everyone had at least
Speaker 3: that one in it.
Speaker 2: I'm sure he's frantically typing a comment, but even Jeremy
Speaker 2: was saying, hey, what do you think of my Criterion
Speaker 2: cart before I pulled the trigger, and I was like,
Speaker 2: it's great, except you didn't get Godzilla was like, you
Speaker 2: have to get like this is what everybody is.
Speaker 3: Everybody else did.
Speaker 2: It's a requirement.
Speaker 3: So yeah, those are those are my pickups. I hope
Speaker 3: to watch them, you know, in less than a year.
Speaker 3: That's being hopeful.
Speaker 2: Yeah, cloud Maide, says Craig. With all the bangers tonight,
Speaker 2: Bill Gabierri just released an interview with Michael Mann about
Speaker 2: Thiefs Anniversary. If anyone is also a thief freak the way,
Speaker 2: I will have to check that out. Bilga's fantastic. Uh,
Speaker 2: let's see good question. I'm sure this was going to
Speaker 2: come up tonight, but Lil says, Hey, Craig. With Eureka
Speaker 2: releasing Heart of Stone in the UK, which is a
Speaker 2: DEFA title, can we expect def Crocodile to release it
Speaker 2: in the US?
Speaker 3: I can't name names, but we are talking to the
Speaker 3: DEFA folks about a lot more titles. So again, nothing signed.
Speaker 3: They'll hold me to it, but the plan is for many,
Speaker 3: many more DEFA titles.
Speaker 2: Yeah, good to hear, Good to hear my stuff this week.
Speaker 2: A couple of these are sort of old, but I've
Speaker 2: been saving them to talk about on any episode that
Speaker 2: where I didn't have much, and this week I didn't
Speaker 2: have much come in. I got in recently the Refuse
Speaker 2: Trauma three pack that they just put out in the
Speaker 2: UK with their release of Cannibal to the Musical, Sergeant, Kabuki,
Speaker 2: man NYPD and Toxic Avenger. Lots of very unique special
Speaker 2: features on these that are not on the US releases
Speaker 2: a reminder Kabuki Man is coming from Vinegar Syndrome at
Speaker 2: some point this year, so glad I have that already.
Speaker 2: And then switching over to Arrow two in one of
Speaker 2: my favorite fold chies, maybe my favorite fulcie, don't Torture
Speaker 2: a duckling in four K this is Hey.
Speaker 3: You mentioned that one a few times.
Speaker 2: Wild Wild movie crazy cover for this is a little busy,
Speaker 2: but it kind of fits. It's a It's a really
Speaker 2: unique movie, especially when you compare to his most famous stuff,
Speaker 2: because it's nothing like any of those really. And then
Speaker 2: one that I think I discovered this on Netflix like
Speaker 2: twelve years ago something like that. I astonished that Arrow
Speaker 2: was able to get it, but the good, the bad,
Speaker 2: and the weird on four K had to get this.
Speaker 2: This is an incredibly silly movie. Love this thing. That
Speaker 2: is thick. It is thick. It is a very thick release.
Speaker 2: It's it's one of their hard box packaging, but with
Speaker 2: a slipcover over the hard box. Mm hmm, it's a
Speaker 2: lot of cardboard. Yeah.
Speaker 3: I know nothing about that film, but it looks up
Speaker 3: my alley.
Speaker 2: I I think you would like it, especially with knowing
Speaker 2: what you love about Eastwood and Asian films. It's like
Speaker 2: the perfect combination of all of it. Colton says Duckling
Speaker 2: is definitely my favorite ful Chi love all the rule. Yeah,
Speaker 2: the rule of photography in that one is pretty beautiful.
Speaker 2: Anything else, Deef Crocodile or anything that you want to
Speaker 2: shout out before we get started on the announcements.
Speaker 3: Uh, tragiti man is progres is rendering as we as
Speaker 3: we speak?
Speaker 2: Nice.
Speaker 3: Finally got through that monster It's good day, super super
Speaker 3: cool movie. Wowome It's yeah, it's like, it's weird that
Speaker 3: there hasn't been a release of that. It just doesn't
Speaker 3: make any sense.
Speaker 2: Right, A lot of a lot of cool stuff coming
Speaker 2: from Deaf Crocodile. If you've not been keeping up with
Speaker 2: the podcast, Dennis kind of can't keep his mouth shut.
Speaker 2: So there's a lot of secrets that have been revealed
Speaker 2: on the podcast. Yeah every month.
Speaker 3: Yeah. At first I was just like, hey, what are
Speaker 3: you doing that hasn't been announced yet? And then I'm
Speaker 3: just like, it's our company. We can say what the
Speaker 3: hell whatever we want.
Speaker 2: And most of the time that's great because you just
Speaker 2: get people excited for months. Unfortunately, then you get you know,
Speaker 2: like the Mama Rock and Roll Wolf. That just happens that.
Speaker 3: Well, that you know, that wasn't a we We didn't
Speaker 3: announce that too soon. That was a we had a
Speaker 3: signed deal and paid for it and they had already
Speaker 3: scanned it. That was just a very weird set of
Speaker 3: circumstances that got that one pulled.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm still hurt by that one. That one sucks.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we paid for subtitles, they paid for a new scan.
Speaker 3: It was, it was underway, such a deal.
Speaker 2: I do not understand some people, What are you gonna
Speaker 2: do tonight after our announcements, our discussion tonight is going
Speaker 2: to be five films that defied our expectations. Now that
Speaker 2: could be positive, that could be negative, that could be
Speaker 2: we thought it was gonna be one movie and it
Speaker 2: turned out to be something completely different. It's gonna be
Speaker 2: a very interesting and weaving conversation, I can tell. So
Speaker 2: hang out after the announcements, of course, and we'll go
Speaker 2: through all of it.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I'm looking forward to talking about it. And
Speaker 3: there's a there's at least one on my list that
Speaker 3: that a lot of people are gonna just like be like,
Speaker 3: what the hell is wrong with you? But hey, I
Speaker 3: like it.
Speaker 2: Fun fact, the person a Mama rock and Roll Wolf
Speaker 2: was also an elder Ryazanov's masterful Carnival Night and his
Speaker 2: later stationed for two nice all right. Getting into announcements,
Speaker 2: starting off with Corner Archive having one of their sales.
Speaker 2: I know a lot of people ask about the four
Speaker 2: for forty four sale coming back. It's not. Just get
Speaker 2: used to that. It's not coming back Moviesing is their
Speaker 2: new home ish movie Zing basically is like a storefront
Speaker 2: for Alliance, and they are distributor for all kinds of places.
Speaker 2: This Warner Archive sale is four titles for forty nine dollars,
Speaker 2: and then it gets a little weird if you start
Speaker 2: buying a whole bunch more so, essentially you're getting each
Speaker 2: title for twelve twenty five because shipping for four titles
Speaker 2: is seven forty six and every time you add a title,
Speaker 2: another ninety nine cents shipping goes into it. So if
Speaker 2: you get I don't know, fifty titles, you're adding forty
Speaker 2: six more dollars for shipping, even though it's not going
Speaker 2: to cost anywhere near that, which is crazy. Now. The
Speaker 2: interesting thing about here, I know a lot of us
Speaker 2: don't love promoting Amazon. I try not to. Obviously, there's
Speaker 2: some people that can only shop on Amazon, so I
Speaker 2: still sell, not sell, sell, still list those links elsewhere.
Speaker 2: But Amazon frequently is lowering the prices on Warner Archive
Speaker 2: titles to prices that make no sense. Some of these
Speaker 2: titles are like seven dollars sometimes, and they're some of
Speaker 2: the best Warner Archive releases. Now, the other side is
Speaker 2: some of these titles never go on sale, so it's
Speaker 2: kind of tricky. But if you can find titles in
Speaker 2: this sale that never go on sale elsewhere, it can
Speaker 2: be a really good deal because you're getting stuff that
Speaker 2: is usually around twenty two dollars for literally like twelve
Speaker 2: fifty thirteen to fifty. That's a great deal for pretty
Speaker 2: incredible movies. They do great restoration work, the discs are
Speaker 2: encoded very well. They don't always have a ton of extras.
Speaker 2: Sometimes they've got some, but this can be a really
Speaker 2: great sale if you like their catalog, that's for sure.
Speaker 3: I just buck four titles on the Criterion sale and
Speaker 3: then saw this one pop up, and I'm like shit
Speaker 3: and added a bunch to my car, and then I
Speaker 3: was an adult and closed the cart.
Speaker 2: That's no fun. This sale going on until March thirty first,
Speaker 2: so you still got a handful of days check it out.
Speaker 2: If you happen to get paid or something like that,
Speaker 2: it could be worth it.
Speaker 3: The other there's a lot of good stuff in there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, great, great titles. The other big thing is if
Speaker 2: you don't live in Illinois, no sales tax anywhere else,
Speaker 2: so you are basically seeing the price that's going to
Speaker 2: be after the shipping as good stuff. Next up, Imprint
Speaker 2: in Australia releasing two more of their Imprint TV titles.
Speaker 2: First one is Gidget. The complete series is from nineteen
Speaker 2: sixty five, coming on May twenty eighth on Blu Ray.
Speaker 2: I have heard this name many many times. I think
Speaker 2: this is when they announced this. I think it was
Speaker 2: the first time I ever saw any imagery from the show.
Speaker 2: Did you watch this one?
Speaker 3: Nope, for my time, And it wasn't one of the
Speaker 3: shows from that period that was in endless reruns. So
Speaker 3: there's lots of other shows kind of around that period
Speaker 3: that I've seen lots of because they were always in syndication.
Speaker 3: But yeah, I've heard of this, like you said, but
Speaker 3: I've never seen it.
Speaker 2: Same exact for me. This is gonna be a five
Speaker 2: disc release with thirty two episodes. It's got a seventy
Speaker 2: six page hardcover book in a limited edition box. Some
Speaker 2: bonuses on here, not a lot. They got the original
Speaker 2: extended pilot episode, the nineteen sixty nine TV movie that
Speaker 2: they did called Gidget Grows Up in SD featurette. But
Speaker 2: that's really about it. Not a ton on the bone
Speaker 2: for this one. But the other one is one that
Speaker 2: they're treating very well, and that is Bewich the season
Speaker 2: three and four collection. They already did season one and two.
Speaker 2: They are doing the whole series, just taking a little
Speaker 2: bit of time in between because they're putting a lot,
Speaker 2: a lot of stuff into these. So this is an
Speaker 2: eight disc set as a one hundred and forty six
Speaker 2: page hardcover book, and this has quite a few more
Speaker 2: bonus features than gidgets. We've got new audio commentaries, we've
Speaker 2: got special episodes, we've got essays, all kinds of stuff
Speaker 2: in this one. You would be witched fan.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was fun. This was a show that was
Speaker 3: in endless syndication, So yeah, I've seen you know, for
Speaker 3: a long time. You could turn on the TV and
Speaker 3: you got to the right channel. An episode of that
Speaker 3: would be on somewhere. It's like the Law and Order
Speaker 3: of its day.
Speaker 2: This and I Dream of Genie on repeats.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, a lot of fun. It's a
Speaker 3: really fun show. I can imagine fans of the show
Speaker 3: are very happy to have this coming out.
Speaker 2: I imagine. So next up, just like I just like
Speaker 2: I guessed last week, I said that The Beyond four
Speaker 2: K would be coming back very soon because it was
Speaker 2: out of print for four days. Last Friday, they put
Speaker 2: it up for sale again and said, hey, it sold
Speaker 2: so well, here's some more without the eyeball. Yeah, this
Speaker 2: is still available exactly like I said. This is going
Speaker 2: to be available for years. They're going to have these
Speaker 2: titles from other retailers. You're gonna be able to get
Speaker 2: the four K release of The Beyond from Grindhouse Releasing
Speaker 2: pretty much for what feels like forever they own this title,
Speaker 2: you will be able to get it. Don't worry. They've
Speaker 2: done this with their Fomo game at Grindhouse every single
Speaker 2: time they release a film. It's a great movie. If
Speaker 2: you want it, It's still sixty six dollars for this.
Speaker 2: They will likely do a pared down version that has
Speaker 2: not six discs, probably three, maybe four. That's probably thirty
Speaker 2: five or forty bucks something like that always and then
Speaker 2: maybe goes on sale for like thirty on their website
Speaker 2: once a year. But yeah, this will be available forever.
Speaker 2: I just think it's hilarious that last Thursday night I said,
Speaker 2: don't worry, this will be back soon, and it wasn't
Speaker 2: even twelve hours after I said that it was available
Speaker 2: for sale again.
Speaker 3: When our stuff goes out of print, it's out of print.
Speaker 2: I've done that to you a couple of times, though,
Speaker 2: where You've asked a question and I've been spot on
Speaker 2: on the answer, and I always love doing that. Have
Speaker 2: you seen the Beyond Er any Fulchy movies ever?
Speaker 3: I don't think so. I'm not. I know it's very
Speaker 3: very popular these days, but I've never gotten into like
Speaker 3: the Italian kind of horror stuff. Like I've seen a
Speaker 3: couple that were like okay, but none of them have
Speaker 3: ever like blown my mind where I'm like, oh shit,
Speaker 3: I need to see more.
Speaker 2: I get it. Yeah, there are right, I get it.
Speaker 2: I totally get it. Uh. Next up, Target yet another
Speaker 2: one that currently don't love promoting, considering more people are
Speaker 2: boycotting them because of their choices. But if you are
Speaker 2: into Target at the moment, or just want to take
Speaker 2: advantage of a sale, because this is easier for you
Speaker 2: to purchase. They're having one of their buy to get
Speaker 2: one free sales, and they've got all kinds of titles,
Speaker 2: including a handful of deaf crocodile titles.
Speaker 3: You can currently have eight, I think eight of our titles.
Speaker 3: And the only reason I knew this is because somebody
Speaker 3: emailed us saying they had bought a title from Target
Speaker 3: and there was a scratch on the disc. I wanted
Speaker 3: to know if we would replace it, so I politely said, well,
Speaker 3: if you didn't buy it from us, then no, we
Speaker 3: can't send you a new disc. But and he had
Speaker 3: said that Target was out of stock, and I was like, well,
Speaker 3: they should get more in, So just reach out to
Speaker 3: them and say, hey, look I got a defective disc.
Speaker 3: When you get more in, I want a replacement, and
Speaker 3: he's like, cool, we'll do. But that's how I even
Speaker 3: knew our stuff wasn't Targets. I had no idea, and
Speaker 3: I certainly didn't know it was in the buy two,
Speaker 3: get one free deal. So well, yeah, so if you
Speaker 3: want to get some of our discs pretty darn cheap.
Speaker 3: There you go, because they don't go on sale usually.
Speaker 2: And they're properly priced right now. They didn't inflate the prices.
Speaker 3: That they're they're they're not even the price listed, isn't it.
Speaker 3: So is this deal based on the list of list
Speaker 3: price or the ms RP.
Speaker 2: It is what you see on the website.
Speaker 3: Okay, then yeah, so they're not even listed at MSRP.
Speaker 3: So yeah, you're getting the discounted price and then by
Speaker 3: two get one free. So that's a pretty damn good deal.
Speaker 2: And uh, for those that don't know the Target sale,
Speaker 2: it's going to end this Saturday night. It is. I
Speaker 2: believe we'll be going until midnight Pacific. It might be
Speaker 2: midnight Eastern, but either way you should be able to
Speaker 2: get it or you know, up until then, if you've
Speaker 2: never shopped one of these Target sales before, I'll point
Speaker 2: out the prices for the deaf crocodile things actually so
Speaker 2: you can understand it. So most of the deaf crocodile
Speaker 2: blues are listed at twenty two forty nine right now,
Speaker 2: and Target actually treats it right for the consumers. So
Speaker 2: if you get three titles around the same price, and
Speaker 2: we'll say they're each thirty bucks and three titles that
Speaker 2: are each around twenty two to forty nine, like the
Speaker 2: Deaf Crocodile titles, they'll go every third most expensive title
Speaker 2: is what is free, So one of the thirty dollars
Speaker 2: titles would be free and one of the twenty two
Speaker 2: to forty nine titles would be free. Instead of just
Speaker 2: we're going to take the two cheapest ones off, which
Speaker 2: is what most companies do. So it's a really good
Speaker 2: way to do these. If you get three of the
Speaker 2: Deaf Crocodile standard editions, you're literally paying forty five dollars
Speaker 2: for three, so they're fifteen dollars a piece. That's that's
Speaker 2: an incredible deal for these standard titles.
Speaker 3: Yeah A, that's literally half of the MSRPE.
Speaker 2: And you get all the same on disc content and
Speaker 2: never have to worry about any of that. It's a
Speaker 2: pretty great opportunity. The big thing is they've they've got
Speaker 2: lots of boutique stuff online. A lot of pre orders
Speaker 2: have been working all week. There are arrow preorders that
Speaker 2: are coming soon that you can still get right now
Speaker 2: in the Buy two, Get one. They've got steel books,
Speaker 2: they've got a lot of Shout factory stuff, including some
Speaker 2: box sets. They've got some vinegar syndrome stuff, not as
Speaker 2: much as they used to. They've got a few criterions,
Speaker 2: not as much as they used to. Target is pulled
Speaker 2: back quite a lot, but they've got some good things.
Speaker 2: And honestly, these are the sales where they're they're better
Speaker 2: prices than we would see at Black Friday sales right now.
Speaker 2: A couple of years ago, I would not say that.
Speaker 2: I'd say, wait till Black Friday. You can get them
Speaker 2: for eight to ten bucks.
Speaker 3: But yeah, last couple of years. But I mean I
Speaker 3: used to go crazy at Black Friday because you used
Speaker 3: to be able to get blue rays for as low
Speaker 3: as five bucks a pop. I mean, I was buying
Speaker 3: stacks of stuff in and now it's like, there aren't
Speaker 3: that really, they don't go that low, not anymore. It
Speaker 3: makes sense because there's there's sales like like literally every
Speaker 3: week there's there's a sale. Like it's kind of crazy,
Speaker 3: but yeah.
Speaker 2: You can get new or four k's right now for
Speaker 2: like fifteen dollars, which is a lot better than the
Speaker 2: thirty two that most places are charging for them. The
Speaker 2: only thing I'll say They're shipping is not the best,
Speaker 2: so be prepared for that. It's basically flimsy cardboard. They
Speaker 2: are also fulfilled by Alliance.
Speaker 3: So yeah, that that my Criterion package. I mentioned it
Speaker 3: on your Discord channel, but I have never received anything
Speaker 3: in flimsy your packaging in my entire life. It like
Speaker 3: the bottom was just the kind of like almost like
Speaker 3: a box that like you fold together and then it
Speaker 3: stays closed, but if you just pressed on and it
Speaker 3: would just open right. Yeah, like no tape, like nothing.
Speaker 3: I can't believe. I was very lucky that my four
Speaker 3: discs arrived not damaged, because it was the box was
Speaker 3: lightly thinner than paper.
Speaker 2: It was crazy, all right. That's the target. Sale ends
Speaker 2: this Saturday. Air forty four. Forty four has been announcing
Speaker 2: a couple of titles. Their next one is p Mock
Speaker 2: from twenty thirteen. This says the legendary love story of
Speaker 2: Pa Mock and his ghost wife Knack. Mock's friend just
Speaker 2: want to protect him, but his wife Knock won't let
Speaker 2: a small thing like her own death get in the
Speaker 2: way of true love in this horror comedy. This is
Speaker 2: from twenty thirteen. They're doing a blu ray of this
Speaker 2: one soon and I know nothing about this title, had
Speaker 2: never heard of it before it got announced.
Speaker 3: Yeah, unfortunately, not familiar.
Speaker 2: All right. Next up this one is Vertigo for a
Speaker 2: Killer from nineteen seventy, coming soon on Blu ray from Kino.
Speaker 2: This gets a Studio Canal four K restoration, but it's
Speaker 2: only coming on Blue at the moment. This is a
Speaker 2: French title that again I have not seen. I had
Speaker 2: heard that this one is good. This is on my
Speaker 2: list for a little bit.
Speaker 3: Cool poster, Yeah it is, and then the film is
Speaker 3: again another cool poster.
Speaker 2: Yeah, this has a great design. Nineteen ninety one is
Speaker 2: Dead Again, coming soon on four K from Keno. This
Speaker 2: is gonna have a brand new HTR master. This is
Speaker 2: the Kenneth Brana and Emma Emma Thompson film. I also
Speaker 2: got Andy Garcia, Robin Williams and the one and only
Speaker 2: newman Wayne Knight in this one.
Speaker 3: When did this come out? Originally?
Speaker 2: Ninety one?
Speaker 3: Ninety one? Okay, I was, I was nineteen. I remember
Speaker 3: seeing it in the theater, I just and and I
Speaker 3: remember liking it, but I honestly, i'm old. My brain's mush.
Speaker 3: I don't remember seeing anything about it, but it was good.
Speaker 3: I remember it being good. Yeah, that's always been a
Speaker 3: classy poster.
Speaker 2: It is. Yeah, this is one that would work like
Speaker 2: hanging up on your wall. Definitely a good one, all right.
Speaker 2: That is Keno. And then this one is interesting. Diabolic
Speaker 2: DVD posted up that they got stock of Faster Pussycat
Speaker 2: Kill Kill, the russ Meyer title on Blu Ray. Now,
Speaker 2: this is the exact same disc and packaging and everything
Speaker 2: that the russ Meyer estate had released on their own
Speaker 2: a handful of years ago. Now, they did essentially one
Speaker 2: quick printing of that a few years ago and that
Speaker 2: was it. It was gone, and pretty much day one
Speaker 2: it started selling for one hundred dollars on the second
Speaker 2: hand market, and it's been really hard to get. Diabolic
Speaker 2: DVD with little to no fanfare, announced that they got
Speaker 2: these and they are available. Jesse commented on social media
Speaker 2: by the way, that he said he would not sell
Speaker 2: these if Severn was just about to release it on
Speaker 2: four K at the moment. Does not have this coming
Speaker 2: and this was a way to get it unfortunately, which
Speaker 2: obviously this has been wanted for quite some time. This
Speaker 2: one off his tite pretty much immediately, just a few
Speaker 2: minutes after it was available. They had many copies because
Speaker 2: it was going off the shelf quite quickly unfortunately. But
Speaker 2: who knows if they're gonna get another run from the estate.
Speaker 2: Who knows if this was it, Who knows what's gonna happen.
Speaker 2: He has not deleted it from his site, so I
Speaker 2: have a feeling he might get some more. But he's
Speaker 2: not even taking orders for it at the moment. This
Speaker 2: is a big deal though. This is a title that
Speaker 2: they may just want to hold on to and every
Speaker 2: few years for release some copies of because it makes
Speaker 2: them a ton of money. Now, at the same time,
Speaker 2: you can probably make a lot more money licensing it
Speaker 2: to Severn or having it available twenty four to seven.
Speaker 2: So who knows. This is the title that a lot
Speaker 2: of people want, because this is widely known as the
Speaker 2: most famous rus Meyer title, probably one of his best
Speaker 2: two or three films, and people want this movie.
Speaker 3: Have you seen this, Craig, I've never seen it, but
Speaker 3: it's the only title that if you ask me to
Speaker 3: name a rus Meyer film, it's the only title I know.
Speaker 2: Reggie says pussy yet that should be a deaf crocodile title. True,
Speaker 2: So yeah, this will be an interesting one to follow
Speaker 2: see what happens in the future, but until now it
Speaker 2: is gone from the side. Again. Maybe it'll slightly lower
Speaker 2: the second hand prices for a little bit. Probably not.
Speaker 3: It's it's it's it's like the handful of Megapolis steel
Speaker 3: books that keep they pop up and they're gone, like
Speaker 3: they're not there for five minutes.
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, they're not even there for one minute.
Speaker 3: Why can't you like, I don't. I mean, I'm not
Speaker 3: doing the ordering and I'm and I know these guys
Speaker 3: know what they're doing. So there's obviously a reason they
Speaker 3: can't just be like, yeah, I want two hundred copies
Speaker 3: of it, like they're just trickling in and I'm like,
Speaker 3: one day I'll.
Speaker 2: Give Yeah, what's going on? Steve Brian says Faster Puskat
Speaker 2: is not his best movie, but definitely his most famous.
Speaker 2: It's up there, definitely beyond the Valley of the Dolls
Speaker 2: up there too. Then, speaking of Severn, they announced their
Speaker 2: next round of titles. This first one and all of
Speaker 2: these actually, I should say, are going to be released
Speaker 2: in mid May if you buy them from the Severn site.
Speaker 2: If you want to wait for the wide release date
Speaker 2: that is not going to be till June twenty fourth,
Speaker 2: but the first title is coming on four K and
Speaker 2: Blu Ray and it is Doctor Who in the Dalaks
Speaker 2: from nineteen sixty five. This is the Peter Cushing film.
Speaker 2: This was already released on four K from Studio Canal
Speaker 2: over in the UK, but now you can get it
Speaker 2: here in the US. And they've got a bunch of
Speaker 2: stuff coming on the discs, many commentaries, literally three different
Speaker 2: commentaries on this film. You've got audio interviews, you've got documentaries,
Speaker 2: lots and lots for this title. And if you're Who
Speaker 2: fan and that's not enough, the Dalax Invasion Earth twenty
Speaker 2: one fifty eighty is also coming on four K and
Speaker 2: Blu ray. This is from nineteen sixty six, the other
Speaker 2: Peter Cushing a Doctor Who film and essentially the same thing.
Speaker 2: Multiple audio commentaries, lots and lots of extras on this
Speaker 2: tons of stuff coming to keep Doctor Who fans happy
Speaker 2: both four K and Blu Ray. And then if you
Speaker 2: want to get them both together, they've got this box
Speaker 2: set that they're doing. This is a total extermination the
Speaker 2: Peter Cushing Doctor Who collection. You can buy the bundle
Speaker 2: with both titles on four K with both of them
Speaker 2: on Blu Ray, or if you already have the Studio
Speaker 2: Canal titles, or you just want to get it and
Speaker 2: save up for the titles for later, you can also
Speaker 2: just buy the cardboard box itself that the titles go with.
Speaker 2: It's a good idea. I'm glad they're doing.
Speaker 3: It.
Speaker 2: Gives everybody the freedom of choice. That is a good thing.
Speaker 3: What are you so you could put the bfive discs
Speaker 3: in the mosque? I guess is the idea.
Speaker 2: Hopefully they fit. But also the big thing is if
Speaker 2: you don't want to buy the titles, and this thing
Speaker 2: is I think it was like five bucks. So if
Speaker 2: you want to get the box and then save up
Speaker 2: for the titles later, that way you know that you're
Speaker 2: going to have the box in case it goes out
Speaker 2: of print.
Speaker 3: Options are good.
Speaker 2: It's a good way to get it for free.
Speaker 3: And I I had no idea that Peter Cushing start
Speaker 3: in to Doctor Who movies.
Speaker 2: Doctor Who is such an old legacy.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's you know, I know it's got a
Speaker 3: huge fan base. Peter Cushing has a huge fan base.
Speaker 3: So I've never, like I said, didn't know they existed,
Speaker 3: so obviously I haven't seen them, but do they get
Speaker 3: people like them?
Speaker 2: As far as I can tell, yes, there. I don't
Speaker 2: remember how it works because they're not considered cannon to
Speaker 2: the specific storyline. I think like Cushing is playing Doctor Who,
Speaker 2: but he's not technically a doctor. I don't know how
Speaker 2: it all works. I don't know the history of the
Speaker 2: Lord with the Doctor Who thing.
Speaker 3: I'm curious, I'm interested, I'm curious. I'm not a huge
Speaker 3: Doctor Who fan. I've seen a few things that were
Speaker 3: kind of fun, a few things that were pretty stupid,
Speaker 3: but Peter Cushing's usually pretty great.
Speaker 2: So I would just be worried in twenty twenty five
Speaker 2: of suddenly going, you know what, I like Doctor Who.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna watch it all, and there's so much of
Speaker 2: it that you would just be buried.
Speaker 3: I don't think I have to worry about that happening.
Speaker 2: All right. Next from Severn, their film Jack the Ripper
Speaker 2: from nineteen fifty nine is getting a four K upgrade.
Speaker 2: This is pretty interesting decisions. This is a good movie.
Speaker 2: Glad they're doing it. It's coming as a four K
Speaker 2: and Blu Ray double pack. The extras appear to be
Speaker 2: all the same, I believe from what they've done previously.
Speaker 2: But now in case you missed out on the slip case,
Speaker 2: you can get that on the four K. Looks like
Speaker 2: a solid release of the film. I'm sure to look beautiful.
Speaker 3: Good for me too, I'm assuming that's the slipcover.
Speaker 2: That is the slipcover.
Speaker 3: Yes, I do like they I love that they had
Speaker 3: the courage to just do a single striking image with
Speaker 3: no text like kudos.
Speaker 2: It's a good choice for this one. Uh. Then they
Speaker 2: are also doing Unknown World from nineteen fifty one. This
Speaker 2: is a Cold War variation on Journey to the Center
Speaker 2: of the Earth. This has a single disc release. We
Speaker 2: had an audio commentary with film writer that you know,
Speaker 2: mister Stephen R. Bessett, good guy.
Speaker 3: He did the commentary, said yes, his commentaries are really great.
Speaker 2: He also did a visual essay for it.
Speaker 3: Well, they doubled down, and knowing Stephen, there's probably not
Speaker 3: a word that that is the same in the two, like,
Speaker 3: not at all. Yeah, he will, he will go the
Speaker 3: extra mile and so there's no you're not going to
Speaker 3: be like, oh I watched one and I don't need
Speaker 3: to listen to the other. It's going to be different.
Speaker 3: Information almost guaranteed Yeah, he's that kind of guy.
Speaker 2: On top of that, the visual essays talking about special
Speaker 2: effects maestros of the nineteen fifties, So I guarantee the
Speaker 2: audio commentary is all focused on the film, and then
Speaker 2: the visual essays about a whole bunch of other special
Speaker 2: effects maestros that you would love. H Cloud wants to know.
Speaker 2: Is this the same Jack the Ripper movie that came
Speaker 2: in a CD ROM sleeve? I got that from some
Speaker 2: release I bought from them, but I can't remember how
Speaker 2: are why? Maybe as a free surprise they were selling
Speaker 2: that single CD ROM which, yes, it is the same
Speaker 2: Jack the Ripper. It was for sale for like five
Speaker 2: bucks as an add on during I think it was
Speaker 2: a halfway to Black Friday sale in like twenty twenty one.
Speaker 2: Guaranteed this was nowhere near their radar that they were
Speaker 2: ever going to do it on four K. I think
Speaker 2: they had just barely done their first four K, so
Speaker 2: they were just basically given that disc away. Yeah it's
Speaker 2: been a while, but yeah, same film, same exact film.
Speaker 2: And then as usual for seven if you'd like, they've
Speaker 2: got a bundle. You can get a bundle with everything,
Speaker 2: and it's one hundred and ten dollars and with that
Speaker 2: you get three films on four K and then the
Speaker 2: fourth on Blu ray. You get the slip covers, you
Speaker 2: get everything that you might want. Next up, The Brutalist
Speaker 2: from last year is getting a release in the UK
Speaker 2: on four K and Blu ray from Spirit Entertainment and Universal.
Speaker 2: This is coming on April twenty eighth, so pretty soon now.
Speaker 2: So we'll have a four K SDR presentation of the film,
Speaker 2: which is the same as in the US. It's got
Speaker 2: a bunch of subtitles on it, but no listing of
Speaker 2: extras unfortunately, but you can get the film on four
Speaker 2: K in the UK.
Speaker 3: This was on my list of I wanted to see
Speaker 3: last year and didn't get to see. Did you see this?
Speaker 2: I can't get through it. I've watched about the first
Speaker 2: hour and I got to be honest, I don't love
Speaker 2: it yet. I've had to work a lot of other things.
Speaker 3: It gets a lot of hate, but I've never really
Speaker 3: heard anybody, which is usually the case when things get
Speaker 3: a lot of hate. Can you explain why you hate it?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 3: No, it's stupid. That's not an answer for me.
Speaker 2: It was very slow paced for a three and a
Speaker 2: half hour film. I can really appreciate why Adrian Brodie
Speaker 2: got the oscar though he is He's incredible. He literally
Speaker 2: is the character that he was trying to be. So well.
Speaker 3: The thing that intrigued me is I heard an NPR review.
Speaker 3: They were talking about it when it came out, and
Speaker 3: they said that it feels so real you kind of
Speaker 3: forget this isn't a documentary. Yeah, you think like these
Speaker 3: are real characters. These characters are real people that really
Speaker 3: lived that not so much it in maybe a documentary,
Speaker 3: but a biopic. They're like, it feels like a biopic,
Speaker 3: but these people aren't real, right, And I was like, oh,
Speaker 3: that sounds really interesting. Somehow I need to find I
Speaker 3: don't have time to watch one movie, and this one's long,
Speaker 3: so I would like to I would like to see it.
Speaker 2: Thankfully they took down the fifteen minute Intermission's only one
Speaker 2: minute on the disc, so you can save some time.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I like long, slow movies, which we'll we'll
Speaker 3: discuss after the after the releases.
Speaker 2: Yes, Dustin, I'm trying to get through the whole thing,
Speaker 2: I promise, Ben says. The first half is grounded in
Speaker 2: realism and the second half sort of becomes a melodrama.
Speaker 2: I know a lot of people hated act too. That's interesting.
Speaker 2: I don't think i've heard it stated like that. Thanks Ben, Gary.
Speaker 2: It's odd for almost half as long as an episode
Speaker 2: of this show. Well, I'll say this, the Brutalist will
Speaker 2: probably beat us tonight. I don't think we're gonna go
Speaker 2: three and a half hours tonight.
Speaker 3: Although we're coming. I think fifty seven says fifty seven sixteen. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I think we just crossed Adrian Brody's acceptance speech time though.
Speaker 2: That was pretty good. Colton says that Brody should have
Speaker 2: won a raz you for that acceptance speech.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: So the next one, RLJE Films is putting out a
Speaker 2: four K of When Evil Lurks on June third. This
Speaker 2: is only going to have a behind the scenes photo
Speaker 2: gallery and subtitles. Love this movie. I'm glad it's getting
Speaker 2: a four K. Interesting choice to just randomly do it, like,
Speaker 2: I don't know, seven months after the Blu ray.
Speaker 3: But what's the tiny text there that I can't read?
Speaker 2: The tiny text there says there's no point in praying.
Speaker 3: I know this is being a really nitpicky. That's a
Speaker 3: really good cover. That text is distracting, and when you
Speaker 3: read it to me, it adds nothing.
Speaker 2: The hard part, I don't think that text is going
Speaker 2: to be on the cover. This is just the theatrical poster.
Speaker 3: Okay, well yeah, it's a terrific poster. You could lose
Speaker 3: that text. It's just distracting from the image.
Speaker 2: I agree. I agree. And this is the thing that
Speaker 2: I've laughed at everybody saying when they put this film out.
Speaker 2: The title is not on the spine on the Blu ray,
Speaker 2: and so people are asking, well, the four K at
Speaker 2: least have the title on it.
Speaker 3: The title on the spine.
Speaker 2: Not at all. It is a blank red spine.
Speaker 3: I wonder if that's an oops or a I can't
Speaker 3: imagine that would be intentional. That's weird, it is.
Speaker 2: It is a weird choice. That being said, I fucking
Speaker 2: love this movie. If you've never given one Evil Lurks
Speaker 2: a chance, it is a modern folk core tale in
Speaker 2: southern South America, and it's acted incredibly. It is a
Speaker 2: really fun story. It's got some great effects, some really
Speaker 2: incredible kills, and it's it just it goes there. It's
Speaker 2: so good.
Speaker 3: Is it a spoiler for me to ask? Is she
Speaker 3: about to whack herself in the head with that acts.
Speaker 2: I don't think so because it was in the trailer,
Speaker 2: but yes, and not just once. It is an incredible scene.
Speaker 2: Incredible all right.
Speaker 3: Yeah that just even knowing that, I'm like, that's disturbing.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Fun City Editions is putting out Breaking Glass. I
Speaker 2: don't know why that says twenty twenty three. This film
Speaker 2: is not from twenty twenty three, just from nineteen eighty.
Speaker 2: This is going to be exclusive for the slipcover to
Speaker 2: the Fun City Way website and Diabolic DVD. They have
Speaker 2: announced that this is going to have a new video
Speaker 2: interview with the producer on this, new visual essay by
Speaker 2: Chris O'Neil, new audio commentary by Mark Edward Hook and
Speaker 2: a booklet with new essay by Margaret Barton FuMO. And
Speaker 2: this is supposedly amazing. I've never been able to get this,
Speaker 2: but as we talked about a couple of weeks ago,
Speaker 2: this will have the long wanted UK cut that has
Speaker 2: not been able to be seen in the US forever.
Speaker 2: This is literally the worldwide Blu ray premiere of this
Speaker 2: version of the film and Fun City Killing It. I
Speaker 2: will say there's.
Speaker 3: A rumor Fun City does some great releases.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there is a rumor BFI might be doing this
Speaker 2: soon in the UK. So if you are a UK
Speaker 2: or a europe residence, you might want to hold out
Speaker 2: on trying to import this if you're dying to see this.
Speaker 2: But that being said, if you want to get.
Speaker 3: It, I am gonna just reveal how just complet letely
Speaker 3: immature I am. Based on the artwork and the title,
Speaker 3: I kind of thought it said breaking gas at first,
Speaker 3: just kind of the position she's in and legs up
Speaker 3: and the legs up, Yeah, I get scattering the glass
Speaker 3: behind her. Yeah, little bit, I'm a child. I'll admit it.
Speaker 2: I see it. It's definitely worth it. I will say
Speaker 2: another frustrating thing about Fun City. Who I love Jonathan,
Speaker 2: You're incredible. We'd love to work with these. Send me
Speaker 2: a message. This whole street date to be determined is
Speaker 2: really frustrating. If you're putting out a film, you should
Speaker 2: know about when you're expecting to have it available for people,
Speaker 2: even if it's just a window of hey, this will
Speaker 2: ship by late June. Even if you get in early June,
Speaker 2: you're making people happy. You could at least say that
Speaker 2: if people are if you're wanting people to pre order.
Speaker 2: It doesn't do well for you for for people that
Speaker 2: want to know what they're buying and when they're going
Speaker 2: to get it.
Speaker 3: It does make a pre order a little hard if
Speaker 3: it could come out in a month or six months, right,
Speaker 3: and has it been? Has it? I mean, has there
Speaker 3: been a fairly consistent release pattern? Like yeah, well, I'm
Speaker 3: not giving you the date, but if you look back,
Speaker 3: you're like, yeah, it's like every month, every two months, Like.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it seems like he's announcing stuff about two months
Speaker 2: before the release date, two and a half months something
Speaker 2: like that. But if that's consistent, you should be able
Speaker 2: to like, tell us this comes out by June fifteenth.
Speaker 3: I get. I get both sides because we've we've got
Speaker 3: some dates that we like to be solid with dates,
Speaker 3: but we got some releases coming up to I'm a
Speaker 3: little bhind.
Speaker 2: So too on your releases. I'm sorry, there's just a
Speaker 2: lot going on. Hey, we talked about this one. I
Speaker 2: believe it was last week April twenty eighth. Over in
Speaker 2: the UK, you can also pre order the Tombstone four
Speaker 2: K steel book. This is up for pre order now.
Speaker 2: You can pick this up over on Amazon UK should
Speaker 2: have everything the exact same as the US release of this,
Speaker 2: and I'm sure it will look much better than the
Speaker 2: widely known terrible Blu ray.
Speaker 3: There's something about this film. Part of me feels like
Speaker 3: it's cheesy, but then I watch it and I love
Speaker 3: it so much. I'm like, it's not cheesy, is it?
Speaker 3: I think it's Kurt Russell. Kurt Russell. I love Kurt Russell,
Speaker 3: but there's always a a sliver of like, it feels
Speaker 3: like there's a little tongue in cheek no matter how
Speaker 3: straight he's playing something. Maybe I'm crazy, I don't know,
Speaker 3: but it's all about this movie is all about l
Speaker 3: Kilmer's performance anyway, so who cares.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was about to say, I think Val Kilmer
Speaker 2: kind of overruns anything.
Speaker 3: Absolutely, like just stunningly good in this movie. And that's
Speaker 3: a pretty good looking Steel Books.
Speaker 2: So yeah, it's nice art. Kurt Russell and Val Kilmer
Speaker 2: actually look like themselves.
Speaker 3: They do, and Sam Elliott does too. Yeah, true, true, Yeah,
Speaker 3: need I need to get this one. I don't buy
Speaker 3: a lot of steel books, but I love the movie
Speaker 3: and I love the art. That's kind of the reason
Speaker 3: I would buy a steel book.
Speaker 2: I get it for this one. The odd part is
Speaker 2: the pre order on Amazon right now is very high.
Speaker 2: That's not odd, Dissey sucks lately. The pre order is
Speaker 2: listed at fifty five bucks.
Speaker 3: Just that would explain why I haven't ordered it yet.
Speaker 2: That being said, it was up for pre order on
Speaker 2: Target earlier today just for forty one dollars, so I'm
Speaker 2: thinking forty one is probably a lot closer to the
Speaker 2: The actual release price.
Speaker 3: Of this forty one is even it's high.
Speaker 2: Still, it's the Disney touch. They are screwing everything over.
Speaker 3: Well maybe I won't get it.
Speaker 2: I get it, hey, Mermaid Legend. This just got to
Speaker 2: release over in the UK from Third Window Films. This
Speaker 2: is the third and final of the three announcements from
Speaker 2: Air forty four to forty four. This says after a
Speaker 2: woman is framed for the murder of her fisherman husband,
Speaker 2: she seeks out a bloody revenge on the corrupt businessman responsible.
Speaker 2: Now the hard part this is gonna be first of all,
Speaker 2: the exact same qualities the Third Window release as far
Speaker 2: as the film itself, But for those that don't know,
Speaker 2: inherent to the film itself, this movie is censored for
Speaker 2: like eleven minutes straight, just straight on the camera negative.
Speaker 2: There is a I believe it's a black bar hiding
Speaker 2: most of the nudity near the final act of this film.
Speaker 2: So just keep that in mind.
Speaker 3: And I know I harp on artwork a lot. Please
Speaker 3: tell me that's not the actual artwork.
Speaker 2: This is the theatrical poster Air forty four. Forty four
Speaker 2: will have some wild artwork coming up soon, I'm sure.
Speaker 3: Okay, so that the original theatrical release had that poster
Speaker 3: and censoring centered on the negative.
Speaker 2: On the negative.
Speaker 3: Ouch.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, can't wait to hear what you say about this,
Speaker 2: mister Craig. We are getting a James Bond Sean Connery
Speaker 2: sixth film, four K steelbook Library collection. They are also
Speaker 2: getting a standard release of that, so you don't have
Speaker 2: to get steel books for these. But if you want
Speaker 2: one of those fancy big steel cases with the steel
Speaker 2: book for every single film, you can pre order that.
Speaker 2: Now you can pre order the standard. They're doing a Connery.
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna guess right now, they're gonna do one
Speaker 2: for every Bond. It only makes sense to put them
Speaker 2: all out like that, to have them all match. This
Speaker 2: is a big deal. This is probably the most womanizing
Speaker 2: James Bond. So if that's your thing, get on it.
Speaker 2: Uh are you a Bond guy?
Speaker 3: My huge Bond guy, And it's it's it's unfortunate. I
Speaker 3: understand licensing owners rights, blah blah blah, but it just
Speaker 3: seems fucked up to put out a Sean Connery Bond
Speaker 3: set and you don't have all the Bondery films, because yeah,
Speaker 3: the Bonnery films Bondery because yeah, never say never again. Weirdly,
Speaker 3: I know it's a kind of a remake and it's
Speaker 3: not from the Broccoli family, but personally, I was introduced
Speaker 3: to Bond with Roger Moore films, right, and my stepfather
Speaker 3: when this film came out, I think it was eighty two.
Speaker 2: Maybe this is about six different films, so yeah.
Speaker 3: But I was I was young, and he was very
Speaker 3: excited that there was a new Sean Connery James Bond
Speaker 3: film coming out, and he took me to the theater
Speaker 3: to show me the real James Bond, because obviously he
Speaker 3: was older and grew up with Sean Connery, and I
Speaker 3: absolutely freaking loved it. So that particular film is as
Speaker 3: a special place in my heart, and it's not in
Speaker 3: the Sean Connery BUCKX set, which's like, just pay the
Speaker 3: freaking rights and put it in the set. Yeah, well yeah,
Speaker 3: and then as far as the steel books go, like
Speaker 3: they're pre selling it, but you don't even know what
Speaker 3: you're buying, right, there's no artwork.
Speaker 2: You don't know any art there's not even a release
Speaker 2: date available yet. No, no, just no. And the crazy
Speaker 2: thing is because it's.
Speaker 3: That's your money, we promise we'll send you something maybe.
Speaker 2: I mean, look at what they did with the seven
Speaker 2: What's in the Box edition? Warner Brothers canceled it, so
Speaker 2: who knows this could get canceled too.
Speaker 3: And you said a steel box collection is usually a
Speaker 3: steel box with steel boxes.
Speaker 2: In it, So this is a steel book library collection.
Speaker 2: So yes, it is a steel it will fit on
Speaker 2: your shelf. It is a giant steel box with foam
Speaker 2: inserts between a steel book for every single film pass.
Speaker 3: That's just too much, that's just too silly, Like that's
Speaker 3: that's buying packaging over the films, and it's the films
Speaker 3: I love. So you said their four k's are coming
Speaker 3: out for their new nice beautiful four K new restorations
Speaker 3: on four K disks. I will happily buy those now.
Speaker 2: And that's the hard part. I don't want to like
Speaker 2: shit on this or anything. For those that love James Bond.
Speaker 2: I'm sure they're gonna be great. I'm not saying this
Speaker 2: is the case. But we don't even know anything about
Speaker 2: the restorations. We don't know if these got new restorations.
Speaker 2: We don't know how good they're gonna look. These could
Speaker 2: just be it's Amazon that owns them now, so it could.
Speaker 3: Just mean yeah, they could. They could. They could have
Speaker 3: watched them, I guess, because I knew people that were
Speaker 3: working on the Lowry restorations back in God when when
Speaker 3: did they do those? A long time ago? At least
Speaker 3: like twelve or thirteen years, it was a long time ago,
Speaker 3: and so yeah, it's been a long time. So I'm
Speaker 3: pretty sure they scanned all that stuff at four K,
Speaker 3: so I'm sure, yeah, But they they did all those
Speaker 3: at HD, so then they did it the Lowry way,
Speaker 3: which has since been quite poop pooed on with other
Speaker 3: advanced grain management. So yeah, it'll be interesting to see.
Speaker 3: But if these are new four K restorations from four
Speaker 3: K scans, that you don't manage the ship out of
Speaker 3: grain then you don't use AI cleanup software and and
Speaker 3: just set it and forget it, which again i'll say
Speaker 3: it here again, I would kill for some fantastic AI
Speaker 3: restoration software. But you don't just press a button and
Speaker 3: then say it's done, like you go back and you
Speaker 3: fix the things it's screwed up. Which it's weird that's
Speaker 3: not been happening like somehow they've sold these companies on Yeah,
Speaker 3: it's a set it and forget it. It's like the
Speaker 3: Ronco film restoration. You don't have to do anything. It's
Speaker 3: like no, not if you want it done right. But yeah,
Speaker 3: AI software could could revolutionize film restoration if it's done
Speaker 3: properly right. So I'm very excited. I'm a huge James
Speaker 3: Bond fan. So I've bought all those previous Blu rays
Speaker 3: and I will buy them all again in four king.
Speaker 3: They're not garbage.
Speaker 2: Well, at least you'll be able to get them in
Speaker 2: a regular case as well as the steel book if
Speaker 2: you want. Yes. Next one to one Films in the
Speaker 2: UK on May twenty sixth, as part of their Black
Speaker 2: Label series, is putting out a Blu ray of Stuart
Speaker 2: Gordon's Castle Freak from nineteen ninety five, one of my favorite.
Speaker 2: Gordon's love this movie. It is really great. I'm glad
Speaker 2: to see it getting some nice special attention. This gets
Speaker 2: a new interview with Richard Band. We had a new
Speaker 2: interview with Barbara Crampton on here. There's also an interview
Speaker 2: with Chris Alexander, who does the Delirium magazine and supposedly
Speaker 2: helping with the Delirium home video stuff coming up, plus
Speaker 2: some archival extras. Don't expect this to look any better
Speaker 2: than the Full Moon Blu Ray or anything like that,
Speaker 2: but this is probably the fanciest release of Castle Freak
Speaker 2: we will ever get. That. Being said, full it's Charles
Speaker 2: Band running Full Moon, so who knows they could theoretically
Speaker 2: put out a four K at some point if they
Speaker 2: are feeling squirrely. But this is a pretty great release
Speaker 2: for a movie that gets overlooked a lot. So hey,
Speaker 2: check it out if you want, because this movie is great.
Speaker 2: Have you seen this one? Are you much of a
Speaker 2: Full Moon person?
Speaker 3: I'm familiar at all.
Speaker 2: That's what I thought. Awesome. Hey, Eureka announce the titles today.
Speaker 2: First is June sixteenth in the UK, June seventeenth in
Speaker 2: North America. On Blu Ray and that is Hong Kong
Speaker 2: nineteen forty one. That's the name of the title, and
Speaker 2: it is from nineteen eighty four.
Speaker 3: I no idea what that is, but that cover art
Speaker 3: completely sells me.
Speaker 2: It's a good looking cover for sure, absolutely looks good.
Speaker 2: Produced by Samuel Hung, and you've got a young Chow
Speaker 2: Yun fat in this. We've got a new commentary by
Speaker 2: Frank Jing, new visual essay by Tony Rains, some of
Speaker 2: archival interviews. Looks like a really solid release for them.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that looks really cool and sounds really cool.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've heard this is good. Next up is a
Speaker 2: Shaw Brothers title, and that is The Eunuch and the
Speaker 2: Deadly Knives. These are from nineteen seventy one nineteen seventy two,
Speaker 2: coming on June sixteenth in the UK, June seventeenth in
Speaker 2: North America. God, Shaw Brothers titles are everywhere, kind of crazy.
Speaker 2: It is so wild happening, like every.
Speaker 3: Label has their own whole like ongoing series of Shaw
Speaker 3: Brothers releases.
Speaker 2: Yep, and this is a part of Eureka Klass.
Speaker 3: Big announcement from Deaf Crocodile.
Speaker 2: We've got a new commentary on the Eunuch by Mike
Speaker 2: Leader and Arna Venmma, who are on the Deaf Crocodile title.
Speaker 2: We talked about earlier new commentary on The Deadly Knives
Speaker 2: by Frank Jang, and it looks to be a solid
Speaker 2: double feature again Shaw Brothers stuff. Never seen these two.
Speaker 2: A lot of the Show Brothers titles getting released now
Speaker 2: are we'll say, not like the most well known titles.
Speaker 2: So I'm eager to check some more of these out.
Speaker 2: Most of the Shop Brothers and stuff that's come out
Speaker 2: has been pretty good.
Speaker 3: I know I keep commenting on cover our work, but
Speaker 3: for a double feature, they did a really nice job
Speaker 3: on that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a it's not.
Speaker 3: Easy to pull off good artwork for more than one
Speaker 3: film on a disc.
Speaker 2: That is very true, especially with that going on two
Speaker 2: sides of the slipcover.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's that's that's a really nice job.
Speaker 2: And finally from them the one that we had a
Speaker 2: question about earlier, Heart of Stone from nineteen fifty. This
Speaker 2: is coming in the UK only on Blu Ray on
Speaker 2: June twenty third. This is directed by Paul Verhoven, but
Speaker 2: not that Paul Verhoven. Obviously it's nineteen fifty. This is
Speaker 2: a DEFA film, and this is going to have We've
Speaker 2: got Heart of Stone, some DEFA fairy tale films. We've
Speaker 2: got a two K restoration on this from the OCN.
Speaker 2: We've got a new commentary by defense historian Sean Allen,
Speaker 2: new interview with Soviet cinema expert Claire Knight, new visual
Speaker 2: essay by Mary Going, some shorts and a handful of shorts. Actually,
Speaker 2: this is a pretty loaded disc if you are into
Speaker 2: a title like this. Glad this is getting a release,
Speaker 2: and I hope that we can see this as part
Speaker 2: of a Deaf Crocodile release maybe someday.
Speaker 3: I'm curious to know how many people are going to
Speaker 3: buy that thinking it is the Paul Verhoven they're thinking of, right, right,
Speaker 3: Because I mean, one of the chances there's two people
Speaker 3: named Paul Verhoven and they're both film directors.
Speaker 2: That is a good question, especially and they're both from Europe.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's kind of wild.
Speaker 2: This also, I gotta say, really attracted to this art.
Speaker 2: This is really well done. It's nice. Colton says Deaf
Speaker 2: Crocodile would do wonderfully with the show Brothers fantasy films
Speaker 2: from earlier in the studio's history, so people are asking
Speaker 2: for it, Graig.
Speaker 3: I'm I'm sure somebody has already licensed them.
Speaker 2: You got to get a Shop Brothers deal. There's like
Speaker 2: eight and seventy five more titles that have not been released.
Speaker 2: You can get some of them.
Speaker 3: Well that I think the Shop Brothers are well covered.
Speaker 3: With everybody else. We've got, we've got, We've got stuff
Speaker 3: lined up all the way into like mid twenty twenty
Speaker 3: six already, like we're we're good.
Speaker 2: Okay, you heard it here. First expect a release of
Speaker 2: early fantasy Shop brother stuff from Death Crocodile in twenty
Speaker 2: twenty nine. Speaking of sales, like we did earlier, the
Speaker 2: March Madness sale over at Keno Lber has launched today.
Speaker 2: For the first and ninety minutes, it was a terrible
Speaker 2: vaunt to the finish line to try to check out here.
Speaker 2: It has calmed down and there are quite a lot
Speaker 2: of great titles up for sale this time. This is
Speaker 2: the new normal, with free shipping at sixty dollars rather
Speaker 2: than the fifty dollars that it was a couple of
Speaker 2: sales ago. This sale also is it's not a short sale.
Speaker 2: This is going to be on sale until April twenty first,
Speaker 2: So you've got a whole nother three and a half
Speaker 2: weeks to shop over at the Keno site.
Speaker 3: When did the sale start this afternoon? So the March
Speaker 3: Madness sale started March twenty seventh and runs all of April.
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, literally, yes makes sense. Some really great stuff
Speaker 2: on sale. One thing I will say. Keno was asked
Speaker 2: if there were going to be more titles added to
Speaker 2: their wild supplies last sale, and they said yes, that
Speaker 2: will be next weekend. So if you wanted to wait
Speaker 2: until those got added and combine it all to one purchase,
Speaker 2: you may want to wait until next weekend to purchase.
Speaker 2: That being said, I know through these sales a lot
Speaker 2: of slipcovers sell out pretty quickly, so if you were
Speaker 2: looking for that, if there's a couple of titles you
Speaker 2: wanted for those, you may want to get those earlier
Speaker 2: than next weekend. But I mean, with the prices and
Speaker 2: with the stuff that is currently on sale, I don't
Speaker 2: see a lot of them selling out much anytime soon.
Speaker 3: This is another shale that this popped up right after Criterion.
Speaker 2: Mike, Sorry, well you got three and a half weeks.
Speaker 3: True, that is true. I've got all next month.
Speaker 2: The Great Yiddish Cinema Set is only sixteen ninety nine
Speaker 2: in the sales, says Ronnie, that's a good choice. Kenot's
Speaker 2: biggest annoucement the year so far as Night are the Juggler.
Speaker 2: That's that's probably up there. And then a question from
Speaker 2: Kira Craig, any chance you could release some Serio Santiago
Speaker 2: films that have never had a disc release.
Speaker 3: I'm not familiar with that name, so send us an
Speaker 3: email with your suggestions.
Speaker 2: Go to the website there is a suggestions box essentially which.
Speaker 3: We've We've literally got multiple films in our schedule now
Speaker 3: that came directly from people sending us their wish lists,
Speaker 3: film films we probably otherwise wouldn't have known about. But yeah,
Speaker 3: we strongly encourage people to send us their wish lists.
Speaker 3: We love getting.
Speaker 2: Them all right, almost done, let's see, Peter says as
Speaker 2: a mirror. Does it seem like the solid releases are
Speaker 2: finally starting to dwindle at least for now? Is that
Speaker 2: just on the keynot salor we saying overall because if
Speaker 2: it's overall, not really, I mean, it's just a slow
Speaker 2: announcement week, but it's one slow week in a sea
Speaker 2: of crazy weeks, and even then Tonight had some great
Speaker 2: stuff to talk about. Anyways, speaking of great stuff, le
Speaker 2: chat coiff Fume, also known as the Smoking Cat over
Speaker 2: in France, announced that they are putting out A Woman
Speaker 2: Possessed an Erotic Witchcraft from nineteen seventy five seventy two.
Speaker 2: I normally don't cover the Smoking Cat releases because they're
Speaker 2: generally not English friendly. However, I happen to know and
Speaker 2: got permission to share, that there are US releases planned
Speaker 2: for these two films coming in twenty twenty six. So
Speaker 2: I know a lot of people have wanted these titles
Speaker 2: because this director is pretty well known. However, if you
Speaker 2: want to hold out for something that will be much
Speaker 2: more English friendly, you should be able to pre order
Speaker 2: the worse. Pre order those in twenty twenty six and
Speaker 2: they will be in your hands in twenty twenty six.
Speaker 2: Good looking stuff and decent posters on both of them.
Speaker 2: I really like this one. Old school, yes, very old school,
Speaker 2: but that is it. That is all of this week's announcements.
Speaker 2: We are ooh and yeah, Peter saying overall releases. Maybe
Speaker 2: it's just me. Keep in mind, this is the Calumn
Speaker 2: Before the Storm Tomorrow, We've got Deaf Crocodile titles up
Speaker 2: for sale. We've got Erow titles up for sale this weekend.
Speaker 2: We've got Shout Factory coming on Monday. We've got Terror
Speaker 2: Vision titles coming on Monday. We've got Ocean announcements on
Speaker 2: whatever the first is is that Tuesday. I think it's
Speaker 2: about to be a really busy week for brand new announcements.
Speaker 3: Believe me, that's what I should do. April first, we
Speaker 3: should put out a press release that we're putting out
Speaker 3: one hundred film show Brothers set.
Speaker 2: Some people would be very excited, and for those that aren't,
Speaker 2: I'm sorry. Let's go to what's coming out next week,
Speaker 2: just in case you forgot, since we always cover this
Speaker 2: next week. Companion four K, A complete unknown four K
Speaker 2: Who Gets You four K? From Criterion, The Summer Wars
Speaker 2: four K Steel Book from Shout and g Kids. Shoplifters,
Speaker 2: the Coreeta film finally getting a Blu ray release.
Speaker 3: Have you seen Shoplifters? I heard that was very good.
Speaker 2: I have not. I was hoping that it was available
Speaker 2: to get sooner than this, but it just started shipping
Speaker 2: from Orbit. I'd wanted to see it. I will be
Speaker 2: watching it soon.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was very good.
Speaker 2: Then we got Renfield four K from a screen factory,
Speaker 2: Mufasa four K from Disney, and Glorious Bastards Standard four K,
Speaker 2: The Meboose Lives set from Eureka, Love Hurts four K
Speaker 2: in the States, dog Man on Blu Ray, the Renfield
Speaker 2: four K Steel Book, the hilarious Flight Risk Steel Book.
Speaker 3: Can't why that Renfield steel book artwork is very cool.
Speaker 2: I mean I really like it with how they're hearkening
Speaker 2: back to the old it only.
Speaker 3: It only checks off one of the boxes though, because
Speaker 3: the film wasn't very good. It was it was entertained,
Speaker 3: it was okay, and then really kind of fell apart
Speaker 3: at the end. I don't think it ever reached like,
Speaker 3: oh wow, this is great.
Speaker 2: Right yeah, Flight Ricks four K Steel Book, which reveals
Speaker 2: Wahlberg's hilarious hairstyle in that film. We were talking about
Speaker 2: James Bond. If you want the supposedly really great series
Speaker 2: icons on Earthed, the James Bond episode series. Whatever they're doing,
Speaker 2: it's it's many hours long. That's available for Mill Creek
Speaker 2: next week one of them days. I I've not been
Speaker 2: able to see that yet, but I am dying to
Speaker 2: one of my most anticipated from the last handful of months,
Speaker 2: Please Don't Destroy the Treasure of Foggy Mountain is coming
Speaker 2: out from Shout Factory. Merry Go Round from flick Rally,
Speaker 2: The Bloody Lady at Arbelos is finally going to be
Speaker 2: shipping Liza from Keno Larber Harbin is coming from wellg

Speaker 2: love me another one. I've been really interested in seeing
Speaker 2: that one with Kristin Stewart and Stephen Yune finally getting released,
Speaker 2: Lighthouse from Filmmasters, and those are the big ones. Any
Speaker 2: of those you're ankering for there, if it's an off week,
Speaker 2: I totally get it. Yeah.
Speaker 3: And Glorious Bastards I feel like should be in my collection.
Speaker 2: Yeah, speaking of it, I think it today or yesterday
Speaker 2: was a Tarantino's birthday.
Speaker 3: Well, happy birthday, Crazy.
Speaker 2: He's definitely a viewer, so yes, happy Quentin. I forgot.
Speaker 3: I know we're going to rewind an hour and ten minutes,
Speaker 3: fifteen minutes. I did watch a movie. I finally saw
Speaker 3: the Djengo. Oh okay, Tarantino, I have heard about it
Speaker 3: for so many years. Finally bought the disc, popped it in,
Speaker 3: and first ten to fifteen minutes I was like, this
Speaker 3: is a bad knockoff of a Sergio Leoni movie. Then
Speaker 3: as it kept going, I was like, Okay, it's still
Speaker 3: definitely a knockoff of a Sergiolioni movie. But then it
Speaker 3: was also like the most Tarantino movie I think I've
Speaker 3: ever seen that he didn't actually direct. I mean, I
Speaker 3: know he lifts from a lot, lot of movies, but Jesus,
Speaker 3: like that movie is like if you had just said yep,
Speaker 3: directed by Tarantino at the end, I would have bought it.
Speaker 2: Are we talking about Jingo and Chained?
Speaker 3: No, no, no, not Tarantino's film, the the old Oh gosh yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: I okay, the actual Jingo.
Speaker 2: Oh that's right. You watch the ear four K.
Speaker 3: Yeah it was.
Speaker 2: It was fun.
Speaker 3: It was It was a lot of fun.
Speaker 2: I loved that movie.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I can I can see where it's clearly a
Speaker 3: favorite of mister Tarantino's.
Speaker 2: I mean, when you opened the film with this intimidating
Speaker 2: guy dragging a coffin through it's a great open, craziest terrain.
Speaker 3: It is a great opening, incredible Uh yeah, but it
Speaker 3: was a lot of fun, but it would it would
Speaker 3: be interesting to be like, how how would Leoni have
Speaker 3: directed that film? Like because it's it's I actually looked.
Speaker 3: I was like watching it and I looked like when
Speaker 3: did the Leonian films come out? I'm like, yeah, okay,
Speaker 3: they were before this, right, very obviously, but yeah I did.
Speaker 3: I did actually watch one of my discs. Finally, how'd
Speaker 3: you feel about the four K look good? The uh?
Speaker 2: I was?
Speaker 3: It was? It defaulted to English dub and honestly, about
Speaker 3: five I think I made I don't even think I
Speaker 3: made it ten minutes right and I checked. I'm like,
Speaker 3: if this doesn't have the original language and subtitles, I'm
Speaker 3: not going to watch this. The dub was so so awful.
Speaker 3: So yeah, if you have it, for the love of God,
Speaker 3: watch it in the original language with subtitles.
Speaker 2: I I was going to complain to you. I went
Speaker 2: to watch Fella Day a couple of weeks ago and
Speaker 2: it didn't default to the English dub. Can you tell
Speaker 2: me why? I'm just kidding. Yeah, I will always prefer
Speaker 2: the original audio over the dubs. I can't. I can't
Speaker 2: listen to the dubs. They're so bad.
Speaker 3: I'm just a little surprised that it defaulted to the
Speaker 3: dub like default of the original, Like the dub could
Speaker 3: be optional, it shouldn't be. That shouldn't be the default.
Speaker 3: Why would it default be like not the original film.
Speaker 2: Not the originally right, Yeah, it's a good question. Stupid,
Speaker 2: it's weird. All right, On to our topic at hand tonight,
Speaker 2: in general, we're we're gonna be talking about films that
Speaker 2: defied our expectations, Craig, what makes you feel set up
Speaker 2: for a film? You? Are you somebody that tries to
Speaker 2: avoid trailers? Are you somebody that you you know, you've
Speaker 2: heard about a film for so long and you've built
Speaker 2: it up in your mind, and you'll be let down
Speaker 2: if it's not exactly what it could live up to.
Speaker 3: I used to love watching trailers, and I'm sure a
Speaker 3: lot of people did, and there's probably still people did
Speaker 3: still do, But like, I could waste a lot of
Speaker 3: time online just watching trailer after trailer after trailer. But
Speaker 3: trailers have gotten so bad's the right word. They're almost
Speaker 3: all the same now, regardless of what the film is.
Speaker 2: Like.
Speaker 3: I've seen I've seen movies that were made for like
Speaker 3: young adults and I've seen action movies and I've seen
Speaker 3: even like dramas that all have the same like driving
Speaker 3: drum beats, like you know, just it's this intense hammering
Speaker 3: like music. And I was like, this is what, Like,
Speaker 3: I don't like it doesn't matter what gree they are
Speaker 3: all exactly the same. And then apparently all the people
Speaker 3: that edit these poor things, like I feel bad for
Speaker 3: these guys, and I say, guys, guys, women, whoever's doing
Speaker 3: the editing of these trailers, because they've clearly been given
Speaker 3: the edict of like you need to tell the entire
Speaker 3: story of the film right in under two and a
Speaker 3: half to three minutes, were like don't miss a beat,
Speaker 3: Like the entire film needs to be covered. Everyone needs
Speaker 3: to know exactly what this film is. And I just
Speaker 3: hated that there's like I don't want the entire film
Speaker 3: explained to me. And I don't want, you know, a
Speaker 3: children's film given to me with the same intensity as
Speaker 3: like the next Michael Bay action film, right, Like what.
Speaker 2: The fuck part all of them with the same uh
Speaker 2: you know, different cover cover song of some old pop
Speaker 2: yeah whatever.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they've become so generic, like they don't they make
Speaker 3: me not want to see movies. I get that they
Speaker 3: do the exact opposite of what they're supposed to be doing.
Speaker 2: That being said, I feel like in the last year
Speaker 2: we've actually seen a couple of really great examples that
Speaker 2: make the bad ones stand out even more. I'll throw
Speaker 2: out the twenty eight years Later trailer that we.
Speaker 3: Got was I avoid them now, so I haven't seen
Speaker 3: most of anything.
Speaker 2: I will say that was maybe like one of the
Speaker 2: best trailers ever made. I thought it was incredible. Just
Speaker 2: today we got a trailer for the next Paul Thomas
Speaker 2: Anderson film. The trailer itself not coherent in any way.
Speaker 2: They're not giving us the plot.
Speaker 3: I'll have to check it out.
Speaker 2: It looks really good. I'm kind of impressed with it.
Speaker 2: That being said, everybody needs to go to the theater
Speaker 2: to see it because it is by far his most
Speaker 2: expensive film. Supposedly he's got to make like three hundred
Speaker 2: million on it or it will lose money, which all
Speaker 2: of his movies have lost money.
Speaker 3: So that's not Paul Thomas Anderson film. They gave him
Speaker 3: that kind of budget. Yeah, awards, he doesn't win box
Speaker 3: office Uh.
Speaker 2: This is the most mainstream looking pta film ever and
Speaker 2: it looks like he's gonna.
Speaker 3: Check it out. I know nothing about it. I'll have
Speaker 3: to check out the trailer.
Speaker 2: It looks like he's gonna show some like blockbuster directors
Speaker 2: what you should be doing with the movie, which is.
Speaker 3: Nice, well honestly a lot. I mean you're talking about
Speaker 3: like the MCU stuff. Like I feel again like the
Speaker 3: editors for the trailers. I feel bad for the directors
Speaker 3: they hire to do these things because they're not allowed
Speaker 3: to direct anything. They're like those things are dictated by
Speaker 3: the producers to the nth degree. It's crazy, and they
Speaker 3: need to let They need to let go because people
Speaker 3: are getting tired of seeing the same film over and
Speaker 3: over and over again. Like the one of the coolest
Speaker 3: things that that Marvel's put out in the last couple
Speaker 3: of years was that Werewolf by Night that was on
Speaker 3: the Disney Plus because it's completely different, Like they let whoever,
Speaker 3: you know, I can't remember who who made it, but
Speaker 3: they let that person just do what they wanted and
Speaker 3: it's so cool.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree.
Speaker 3: He had had trailers. They used to get me excited
Speaker 3: to go to movies. Now now it's mostly word of mouth.
Speaker 3: If you say it's good, then I'm interested.
Speaker 2: I mean, for the most part, I agree. I don't know.
Speaker 2: I long for the days. I don't know if this
Speaker 2: is a shared experience for many people. But in two
Speaker 2: thousand and seven, sitting in a very slow computer, barely
Speaker 2: loading like four ADP trailers on Apple Music or not
Speaker 2: Apple Music, Apple trailers, Yeah it.
Speaker 3: Was Apple trailers.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: You used to sit there and you could just go
Speaker 3: one after.
Speaker 2: The other five hours.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so and each one was different.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was That was a really good time for trailers.
Speaker 2: I was really happy back then. I was so glad
Speaker 2: that we could get some good ones and it got
Speaker 2: me excited. And of course many of these were films
Speaker 2: that would completely be different than the trailer that we saw,
Speaker 2: and so it's gonna be fun conversations. Now.
Speaker 3: That was the other thing. I you at least don't
Speaker 3: have that anymore. Like you you watch a trailer today,
Speaker 3: you know exactly what you're going to see because they've
Speaker 3: showed you the whole thing. They did used to trick
Speaker 3: people back in the day, where they'd show you a
Speaker 3: trailer that could be a fantastic trailer, and then you
Speaker 3: went to see the movie and you're like, that was
Speaker 3: not the movie.
Speaker 2: What about how the last couple of years they've been
Speaker 2: hiding musicals in the trailers.
Speaker 3: Olie, that's just that's just cruel.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's pretty funny. Yeah, all five of these tonight,
Speaker 2: for each of us, could have a completely different reason
Speaker 2: why they defied our expectations. Can't wait to hear what
Speaker 2: you get into for these, So why don't we share
Speaker 2: your first one?
Speaker 3: All right? So the idea behind this was not just
Speaker 3: films that like, they weren't what you were expecting, but
Speaker 3: they they might have beyond not being what you expected,
Speaker 3: they kind of opened your mind to what you even expect.
Speaker 3: The movie can be go to our bed. I've seen
Speaker 3: some experimental stuff and I'm like, yes, I guess some
Speaker 3: people call that a movie, which I know I'm being
Speaker 3: small minded. I can't love everything. But well, the first
Speaker 3: thing I came to mind immediately was there's a couple
Speaker 3: here that I actually worked on. So this one was
Speaker 3: Funeral Parade of Roses m I and I've got I
Speaker 3: don't have these in any order, so, but it was
Speaker 3: made by an experimental filmmaker, and some of his experimental
Speaker 3: films I still don't understand. But he made this feature
Speaker 3: that is it's almost undefinable. It's at least four different genres,
Speaker 3: you know, comedy, melodrama, documentary, horror film. It's just it's
Speaker 3: all over the place, and it all works with one
Speaker 3: of the most fantastic endings you do not see coming.
Speaker 3: And I just I still to this day remember my
Speaker 3: reaction when I first saw it, because I was sitting
Speaker 3: at my desk watching it before we were starting the restoration,
Speaker 3: and it holds you because you don't know where it's
Speaker 3: going to go next. And then the big reveal at
Speaker 3: the end. Literally I sat back in my chair. I
Speaker 3: was like, holy shit, Like I did not see that coming.
Speaker 3: That is so freaking amazing. So it's a film that
Speaker 3: I went into kind of. It's described as like a
Speaker 3: gay film, and it's made by an experimental filmmaker, two
Speaker 3: things that generally aren't my favorites. A lot of quote
Speaker 3: unquote gay films are they've got a gay subject matter,
Speaker 3: but then they're horribly made movies, right, So like, okay, great,
Speaker 3: it's gonna be a bad movie made by an experimental filmmaker.
Speaker 3: And that was not what it was. Well, that's not
Speaker 3: what it was at all. It was spectacular. Everything about
Speaker 3: it is just perfection. The cinematography is gorgeous. The fact
Speaker 3: that in the middle of the film, it will jump
Speaker 3: out of the film and they're interviewing the actors, asking
Speaker 3: them about acting in the film or what it's like
Speaker 3: to be gay. You're like, wait a second, I was
Speaker 3: just watching a movie. Now it's a documentary. What's going on?
Speaker 3: It's it's an incredible movie. Super proud to have been
Speaker 3: able to to work on the restoration of it. But
Speaker 3: that's the first film that came to mind when I
Speaker 3: suggested this, So it's just the first one I wrote
Speaker 3: down on my notes. So yeah, so keeping keeping your
Speaker 3: be willing to see something you don't necessarily either think
Speaker 3: you're gonna like or you don't know what it is
Speaker 3: you're getting into. And that goes for not just movies,
Speaker 3: that's everything, Like, yeah, you know, be willing to experience
Speaker 3: something new, Like sure you might not like it, but
Speaker 3: it's not going to kill you and there's a good
Speaker 3: chance you're gonna be blown away and be like, holy shit,
Speaker 3: I that's you know, my mind has been expanded. Like
Speaker 3: that should be a life goal.
Speaker 2: So Craig's first pick was Funeral Prayed of roses Mine.
Speaker 2: This is one that has just not left in my mind.
Speaker 2: This is gonna be silly, because I talked about this
Speaker 2: as a recent watch just a couple of weeks ago,
Speaker 2: but I kind of wanted to go into it a
Speaker 2: little bit more. So I'm gonna go with a movie
Speaker 2: that blew me away, Henry Gamble's Birthday Party. And I
Speaker 2: was watching this because I was working on another project
Speaker 2: with somebody, and the films that they usually like are
Speaker 2: indie usually decent stories, but not great acting, something that
Speaker 2: you would see at a festival and then probably never
Speaker 2: see again, never give a second thought to the film itself.
Speaker 2: The biggest names in the movie are Pat Healy, who
Speaker 2: is playing a pastor, not something I ever expected in film,
Speaker 2: and then the other big name is Joe Keery from
Speaker 2: Stranger Things. And Henry Gamble's Birthday Party takes the youth
Speaker 2: group culture of two thousand and eight all the way
Speaker 2: through like twenty sixteen, of very American white Baptist style
Speaker 2: Christian youth group culture and elevates it into a way
Speaker 2: that I've never seen realistically put into any single art form.
Speaker 2: And I got to be honest, about three minutes into
Speaker 2: this movie, I thought this was gonna suck. I thought
Speaker 2: that they were going to do some things to be
Speaker 2: edgy on purpose, just to show like, oh yeah, some
Speaker 2: of these people are sinners. Whatever. No, this movie rules
Speaker 2: Henry Gamble's birthday party. It shows like a modern side
Speaker 2: of youth culture that is really hard to capture on
Speaker 2: film in a really unique way. It is empathetic to
Speaker 2: other kinds of lifestyles, understanding that a lot of people
Speaker 2: that are going to these youth group cultures aren't necessarily
Speaker 2: going because they're religious, but because they want to be accepted.
Speaker 2: And there are certain characters that are showing fluidity with
Speaker 2: their sexuality. There are characters that are struggling with literally
Speaker 2: suicidal ideation. There are individuals that are accepting of everybody
Speaker 2: around them in a church setting. So people like that
Speaker 2: can and do exist. They're just not the loud ones.
Speaker 2: Usually it is a view of people that are not
Speaker 2: given enough light. And this film blew me away as
Speaker 2: somebody that was raised in a church, raised in youth
Speaker 2: group culture, fell in love with my wife through youth
Speaker 2: group married to the person that I love now because
Speaker 2: of our history with the church, and I was just
Speaker 2: completely taken with this film. It is well made. It
Speaker 2: takes place over one day. It is beautifully shot, incredibly acted,
Speaker 2: and you have likely never heard of this this movie
Speaker 2: other than never heard of me talking about it, or
Speaker 2: I guess Celeste watched it recently as well. Celest When
Speaker 2: I when I posted that I had seen this, Celeste
Speaker 2: was like, how did you even find this movie? It's incredible.
Speaker 2: People need to go check it out. It's it's a
Speaker 2: beautiful story.
Speaker 3: We probably should add links into the description of this thing.
Speaker 3: And when we're done to all these, probably because I
Speaker 3: know every every every week, I'm just like, oh, that
Speaker 3: sounds amazing. I mean, if you had a link there,
Speaker 3: that's make it super easy to go click.
Speaker 2: I've tried to do that. I will do this here.
Speaker 2: I will throw up letterbox links in the live chat.
Speaker 2: So the one I just talked about is now in
Speaker 2: the live chat. I'll get Funeral Prey to Roses, and
Speaker 2: I will get one for everyone that we're talking about
Speaker 2: moving forward.
Speaker 3: Because yeah, that sounds that sounds like an interesting film.
Speaker 2: It's very good. So what's the next one?
Speaker 3: When did it come out?
Speaker 2: Henry Gamble's Birthday Party is from two thoy and fifteen,
Speaker 2: and I think I watched it who I think it
Speaker 2: was on to B. I think so it's free, you
Speaker 2: should be able to access it on to B. It
Speaker 2: does not have a Blue Ray, Paul, it's I don't
Speaker 2: know that this director has anything on Blu Ray, which
Speaker 2: is really depressing. I think his host whole filmography deserves
Speaker 2: to be on Blu Ray.
Speaker 3: I see the question that from Rannie. I believe the
Speaker 3: BFI release is the same one that we restored through
Speaker 3: It started as Delicious Picks and then we took it
Speaker 3: over to Arbelos. Should be the same.
Speaker 2: Restoration, yep, all right, next one.
Speaker 3: Next one, let's see, there's only there's only one more
Speaker 3: that I worked on. Let's get that out of the way,
Speaker 3: Satan Tango.
Speaker 2: It's a big one.
Speaker 3: Literally, It's like I was, you know, this is another
Speaker 3: Arbelos restoration release that I didn't have much say at
Speaker 3: all and what we released there. So I was informed
Speaker 3: that I would be restoring a seven and a half
Speaker 3: hour black and white Hungarian film.
Speaker 2: Let's not exaggerate. It's seven hours and twelve minutes. Oh
Speaker 2: I'm sorry.
Speaker 3: I believe I was told seven and a half So
Speaker 3: that's not Does that include the two intermissions?
Speaker 2: Probably not?
Speaker 3: Probably not so anyway, to say I was not looking
Speaker 3: forward to seeing this film would be an understatement. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I don't care how much people said it's a masterpiece.
Speaker 3: I'm like, there's no way it's that good. And then
Speaker 3: I saw it, and honest to God, sitting there in
Speaker 3: the theater watching it did not feel that long to me.
Speaker 3: Granted I have a very high tolerance for long movies,
Speaker 3: and honestly, with the one viewing, I wasn't one hundred
Speaker 3: percent sure exactly what had that plot wise, what was
Speaker 3: exactly going on in the film. But I had never
Speaker 3: experienced an immersion into a film like that ever in
Speaker 3: my life. And that's immersion. Immersing, immersing the audience into
Speaker 3: the film is what most filmmakers are striving for, and
Speaker 3: they come up with idiotic things like three D to
Speaker 3: try and get people to feel like they're there. Or
Speaker 3: I worked for over a decade in Imax, which instead
Speaker 3: of three D well sometimes also three D is just
Speaker 3: that the screen is so big that it kind of
Speaker 3: envelops your peripheral vision and you can literally feel like
Speaker 3: you're there. Seeing Christopher Nolans The Dark Knight in Imax,
Speaker 3: the opening, the whole opening sequence was shot with Imax cameras,
Speaker 3: so seeing that projected in fifteen per seventy milimeter. The
Speaker 3: opening shot of him standing on the street corner, you
Speaker 3: literally feel like you're standing on the street corner. It's
Speaker 3: there's really no other experience quite like that. But I
Speaker 3: discovered with Satan Tango there's another way to get your
Speaker 3: audience completely sucked into the film, and that's to just
Speaker 3: not ever fucking cut away. Like he has shots of
Speaker 3: like a child, there's a dot in the horizon running
Speaker 3: towards the camera, and you sit there the whole time
Speaker 3: as they get there to the camera. But then the
Speaker 3: technical aspect of the filmmaking is not only are you
Speaker 3: taking all that time, but the shot doesn't then finally
Speaker 3: end when they get there, you know, right they then
Speaker 3: you know, pan and follow the child, and like it's
Speaker 3: not a it's not a it's not the single take
Speaker 3: kind of gimmick. It's not that like he cuts, there's edits,
Speaker 3: but everything is so slow and methodical, and you don't
Speaker 3: cut away from things very often that it's over time
Speaker 3: and just the length of the film itself. It just
Speaker 3: draws you in and you're living this experience with these characters,
Speaker 3: it's it was. It was an experience that I just
Speaker 3: was kind of blown away. So Satan Tango, like I
Speaker 3: did not expect that I would like it at all,
Speaker 3: and it just opened my my Mind's like, there are
Speaker 3: other ways of telling a story. There are other ways
Speaker 3: for filmmakers to draw you into the story they're telling,
Speaker 3: and just literally length of time is another way of
Speaker 3: doing it, and it absolutely works if you're willing to
Speaker 3: let it. Like I said, I like long films, so
Speaker 3: I'm never sitting in my seat thinking, Jesus, this is long.
Speaker 3: Like what's like, I mean, I just I go with it.
Speaker 3: It's like, I mean, I think it's almost like, you know, hypnotism,
Speaker 3: Like you're watching a film. If you're going to fight
Speaker 3: the film the whole time, you're not really gonna enjoy
Speaker 3: it as much and you're not gonna let yourself be
Speaker 3: immersed by it, like let yourself go with the film
Speaker 3: with the filmmaker. Yeah, Satan Tango is an amazing film.
Speaker 3: And I got to spend a week with Belatar sitting
Speaker 3: in the grading suite and hungry, and that dude is
Speaker 3: a trip.
Speaker 2: Yeah, excellent, solid pick. I uh, yeah, I don't know
Speaker 2: what else to say, I mean it's it's Satan Tango
Speaker 2: like it. It's so well known, obviously for being long,
Speaker 2: but for being just one of the most attaching films
Speaker 2: for so many people. If you are if you buy
Speaker 2: in it holds tight. Yeah, it's long for a reason.
Speaker 3: Yeah, obviously if you broke down the plot of the
Speaker 3: story they're trying to tell, Yeah, you could probably do
Speaker 3: it in ninety minutes, but it would be a completely
Speaker 3: different experience and not worth it probably, Yeah, Like, it's
Speaker 3: just it would be so vastly different. Yeah. No, I
Speaker 3: if you are willing, you know, get the disc. I
Speaker 3: don't know if it's still playing in theaters. I mean
Speaker 3: there's DCPs of it now since we did the restoration,
Speaker 3: so it probably pops up here and there. Worth it?
Speaker 2: Yeah, you got a question from Ancient Pixels. Craig is
Speaker 2: a fan of Benny's Bathtub and other Hashstrip's works. Do
Speaker 2: you think you could ever license more of his animated
Speaker 2: films in the future, perhaps War of the Birds or
Speaker 2: Subway to Paradise.
Speaker 3: Anything's possible. It's not on our radar right now. But yeah,
Speaker 3: we don't say hardcore, just no most to most things.
Speaker 3: So we'll see.
Speaker 2: We have.
Speaker 3: An absolute insane amount of animation coming.
Speaker 2: Oh and not just the animation, you have a dearth
Speaker 2: of titles. I mean, you say your scheduled to the
Speaker 2: middle of twenty twenty six, and that's not even everything.
Speaker 3: It's yeah, it'll be a busy time, very busy.
Speaker 2: My next one is I think, no, it is not
Speaker 2: the most recent film. I've got one more that's slightly
Speaker 2: more recent, but it's a fairly recent film. This one
Speaker 2: is just from twenty twenty two. And according to the
Speaker 2: people that I trust, I was supposed to hate this movie.
Speaker 2: I went into this very cynical. I it's exactly why
Speaker 2: you probably liked it.
Speaker 3: You should preface, preface all of these things with the
Speaker 3: secret to happiness in life. And this is going to
Speaker 3: sound like a joke, but I'm absolutely serious. Lower your
Speaker 3: goddamn expectations and be open minded of everything of life
Speaker 3: in general. Like, when you have expectations, all you could
Speaker 3: possibly do is set yourself up for disappointment, because even
Speaker 3: if it meets your expectations, you're gonna be like, Eh, wells,
Speaker 3: just go in, don't. I'm not saying you shouldn't. Actually,
Speaker 3: the lower experts, you just don't have any Just accept
Speaker 3: things for what they are, and you will be so
Speaker 3: much happier in film, what in watching movies, in everything,
Speaker 3: just let things be what they are.
Speaker 2: And this is one of those times that absolutely colored
Speaker 2: my experience unfortunately. So I was ready to find flaws.
Speaker 2: I was ready to find a film that was too
Speaker 2: loud that I didn't care about. But I was thrilled.
Speaker 2: And here is the link in the chat now with
Speaker 2: twenty twenty two's Babylon. Another film that's a longer film.
Speaker 2: This is a good three hour, twenty minute movie. I
Speaker 2: know a lot of people that are seeing a movie
Speaker 2: on that movie starring Margot Robbie and Brad Pitt, directed
Speaker 2: by Damien Chazelle. That what you know, a lot of
Speaker 2: people didn't like La La Land because a whitewashing type
Speaker 2: of things. A lot of people thought he got cheesy
Speaker 2: a little bit. Babylon is fucking amazing if you like filmmaking,
Speaker 2: Babylon is an incredible story. Yes, it can be loud,
Speaker 2: sometimes it can be brash. That's just filmmaking. That's just
Speaker 2: crazy Hollywood. The sets in this film are sumptuous, the
Speaker 2: way that they are able to get some of the
Speaker 2: shots in this are amazing. I mean this movie, Like
Speaker 2: forty seconds into it, there's an elephant pooping. It's funny.
Speaker 2: There's so much of this movie that are just random
Speaker 2: ass happenstances that I'm just entertained the entire time. It
Speaker 2: is incredible. Brad Pitt, Margot Robbie had extremely good chemistry
Speaker 2: in this, all of the random situations that people got
Speaker 2: them in. I don't understand why people could hate it. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it's kinda like loud and crude in a lot of situations.
Speaker 2: And that is how a lot of these just weird
Speaker 2: ass Hollywood situations are. Like, there's no denying that I
Speaker 2: think Babylon is magnificent, and in five years people are
Speaker 2: going to turn around and be like, why do we
Speaker 2: hate this? Because it is so good.
Speaker 3: I need to see it. It's another one where I
Speaker 3: like in general. I like the director. He's been a
Speaker 3: little hit or missed with me.
Speaker 2: La La.
Speaker 3: Land's not so much his fault. I just don't like
Speaker 3: ninety percent of musicals, right, And yeah, it's it's, It's,
Speaker 3: it's It's definitely like I could tell that the amount
Speaker 3: of hate it was getting was undeserved. Even if I
Speaker 3: see it and I don't like it. There's no way
Speaker 3: it deserves the amount of hated.
Speaker 2: Come right, it was far too much. And I know
Speaker 2: a lot of people hate Margot Robbie for some reason.
Speaker 2: She was incredible in this film. Incredible.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And like I said, I don't watch trailers. I
Speaker 3: decide what to watch because you tell me, and you
Speaker 3: just said I should watch Babylon. So it's on the
Speaker 3: list now.
Speaker 2: I love that. Pretty much everybody in the chat is agreeing.
Speaker 2: That's nice. That's nice to see that.
Speaker 3: All right, he got classy fans.
Speaker 2: What is the next one from you?
Speaker 3: Well, it works out nicely that you picked one that
Speaker 3: a lot of people hated, because I'm just going down
Speaker 3: my list. Like I said, it's not in order other
Speaker 3: than how I wrote it down. A lot of people
Speaker 3: hate this movie. Tenant Christopher Nolan. I really enjoyed it,
Speaker 3: and I think it ties directly into what I was
Speaker 3: just ranting about earlier. I didn't have expectations other than
Speaker 3: Christopher Nolan is a brilliant filmmaker. You might not like
Speaker 3: his films, but you can't deny like dude knows how
Speaker 3: to make a movie. Of course, Tenant. The one complaint
Speaker 3: I keep hearing people get so upset over is that
Speaker 3: it's incoherent, Like they've watched it and after it's over,
Speaker 3: they have no friggin idea what they just watched. And
Speaker 3: my answer to that is, so what, Like, I don't
Speaker 3: need to understand everything to enjoy the experience of watching it.
Speaker 3: Like It's like I've thoroughly enjoyed the experience of watching
Speaker 3: that film. And because I don't understand every little detail,
Speaker 3: it lends itself to rewatching. It lends itself to you
Speaker 3: thinking about it and making up your own decision of
Speaker 3: what it's about or what you watched. Like, I trust
Speaker 3: that Christopher Nolan and his history of filmmaking and writing
Speaker 3: did not just like oops, like it makes no sense
Speaker 3: when you when you break it down, like he's he's
Speaker 3: two what's the word?
Speaker 4: Uh?
Speaker 3: He micromanages like his films are his films. There's no
Speaker 3: way that every line in that film was not exactly
Speaker 3: how he wanted it, And the fact that it doesn't
Speaker 3: make sense is intentional.
Speaker 2: I a lot of the same people that were saying
Speaker 2: Tenant was bad because it was incoherent are the same
Speaker 2: people that praise mulholland Drive and pray I mean.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean he's it's it's a it's a very
Speaker 3: different film, and and Christopher Olan certainly doesn't have a
Speaker 3: long history of making weird incoherent films like David Lynch did.
Speaker 3: So you went in again. You went in with expectations,
Speaker 3: it's going to be a Christopher Nolan film, it's going
Speaker 3: to make sense and it's going to look pretty. And
Speaker 3: it didn't make sense, and you're upset. That's on you.
Speaker 3: You shouldn't have had expectations. Enjoy the movie for what
Speaker 3: it is. It's a wild ride with lots of things
Speaker 3: to think about, and the you know, visually just stunning
Speaker 3: from beginning to end, with great performances like It's it
Speaker 3: doesn't deserve all the shit it cut And again, why
Speaker 3: is it on this list? Because it taught me I
Speaker 3: don't need to understand every aspect of something to enjoy it,
Speaker 3: like I am okay going through life. The answer I
Speaker 3: don't know is a completely legitimate answer to something, right,
Speaker 3: like you don't have to understand everything. I missed that
Speaker 3: something about I just hate his sad.
Speaker 2: Gold is hilarious. I can't stand on thee but I
Speaker 2: don't expect to coherence. I just hate his sad street
Speaker 2: man vibes, which made me laugh so hard.
Speaker 3: Okay, well, I mean I also have the benefit of
Speaker 3: by no means someone like I want to say this,
Speaker 3: like oh, like, yeah, we're buds. But I've met him,
Speaker 3: worked on several of his films that he did through Imax,
Speaker 3: and of all the filmmakers that came through that place,
Speaker 3: he took his shit more seriously and knew what he
Speaker 3: was doing tenfold over the next person down. Like, so
Speaker 3: I have mad respect for his filmmaking. That's incredible, and
Speaker 3: he treats it with respect, like in seriousness, like it's
Speaker 3: it's he's he's the real deal, like and he's English.
Speaker 3: Come on, he's of course he's gonna look like a
Speaker 3: sad white guy. Yeah, I mean, but yeah, so yeah,
Speaker 3: that one, that one's on my list because it, you know,
Speaker 3: cemented for me. I can enjoy a movie and not
Speaker 3: know what the hell is going on, just enjoy the
Speaker 3: experience and the ride. And yeah, I kind of prefer
Speaker 3: if it's not completely just laid out for you, because
Speaker 3: what are you going to think about after the movie's over?
Speaker 3: If every question has been answered?
Speaker 2: It's a good question. Look, so there there's my fast one.
Speaker 2: Not to change the subject or anything, but while we're
Speaker 2: talking about Nolan and you being involved with Imax, I
Speaker 2: have just had this random thought. Have you paid attention
Speaker 2: to this whole sphere that in Vegas and any thoughts
Speaker 2: on what that would be like to experience that after
Speaker 2: working at Imax.
Speaker 3: I don't know technically how it works. I know with
Speaker 3: like Imax dome theaters there's a bit of a contrast
Speaker 3: issue because the screen is round, so it's reflecting light yeah,
Speaker 3: on itself, so you have some contrast issues. And then
Speaker 3: most of the stuff that's shone in a dome type
Speaker 3: thing wasn't shot to be seen.
Speaker 2: In a dome.
Speaker 3: I saw one film where it was these people carrying
Speaker 3: a canoe and it was it was just ridiculous because
Speaker 3: like there's like way over here is the front of
Speaker 3: the canoe, and then it wraps all the way around
Speaker 3: in front of you in the back of the canoe
Speaker 3: over here, And I was like, well, that's just dumb.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: So, uh, if they've resolved the and the and the
Speaker 3: the contrast thing is probably not an issue because I'm guessing,
Speaker 3: you know, with dome it was projection with this thing
Speaker 3: it's probably like led, so the source of the light
Speaker 3: source is the screen, so the contrast issues probably not
Speaker 3: as big of an issue. And hopefully the content that
Speaker 3: they're showing, I think everything I've heard of so far
Speaker 3: is stuff that was literally made specifically for that venue,
Speaker 3: so it's probably really freaking cool.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean, I think one of the big things
Speaker 2: that they're showing is a U two live concert that
Speaker 2: they filmed specifically for this and that sort of thing.
Speaker 2: Like I'm not a giant fan of you two, but
Speaker 2: to be able to sit there and literally all around
Speaker 2: you be able to see everything.
Speaker 3: And you've probably got like the best seat in the house.
Speaker 2: Sanity, and they charge like it is to supposedly even.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's that's that's the downside. The whole point of
Speaker 3: of this being like it should be democratizing is is like, oh,
Speaker 3: everyone can afford to see you too now and sit
Speaker 3: in the front row. It was like, no, they're charging
Speaker 3: front row U two tickets prices. I'm like, what the
Speaker 3: But you get to show it multiple times a day
Speaker 3: every day, like you bastards.
Speaker 2: I think it would be fun to see once for sure,
Speaker 2: but I don't know. I'm surprised just in general.
Speaker 3: I'm always surprised how concert films aren't more popular, and
Speaker 3: I don't know if it's I think part of it
Speaker 3: might be because of the way they're distributed. They're kind
Speaker 3: of distributed like a regular film, where they'll just like
Speaker 3: market it half trailers, it comes out on a certain
Speaker 3: day everywhere, and then it's gone a little later. It's
Speaker 3: I would think if you're doing a concert film, distribute
Speaker 3: it like a concert, like announced show dates in all
Speaker 3: of these different cities, and have it tour around the
Speaker 3: country and have it be in a place for you know,
Speaker 3: they're they're going to do like a couple of days,
Speaker 3: or you know, if it's a place that the band's
Speaker 3: extra popular, maybe it's there for a whole week, but
Speaker 3: like no long, and then it moves and it moves
Speaker 3: around the country like a like a tour would, and
Speaker 3: you'd get to see it. Because of the concert films
Speaker 3: I'm seen, and I haven't seen that many, they're amazing,
Speaker 3: Like you've got like front row seats with incredible sound,
Speaker 3: and no one's pushing and shoving like the parking zzy.
Speaker 3: You know, like it's like the best of a concert
Speaker 3: without all the bad parts of a concert after Prince died.
Speaker 3: They they were show showing Purple Rain, and a lot
Speaker 3: of places were even showing his concert film, Sign of
Speaker 3: the Times, and so I I every time it was
Speaker 3: a playing. I saw it in the theaters here, and
Speaker 3: like seeing Sign of the Times in a theater is fantastic.
Speaker 2: It's like, especially with a bunch of Prince fans.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I mean like the whole audience, like you
Speaker 3: kind of like it's like you treat it like you're
Speaker 3: at a concert. Like people start standing up, like after songs,
Speaker 3: people are applauding, like it's like being at the concert.
Speaker 3: It's concert films are great. I wish they were more popular.
Speaker 3: We did one at Imax in the It was a
Speaker 3: two thousand and one two thousand somewhere around there. It
Speaker 3: was a film called what was it called Backstage No Something.
Speaker 3: I can't remember the name of it. It flopped, but
Speaker 3: at the time they got all of the top artists,
Speaker 3: like all the people that were super popular at the time,
Speaker 3: and a couple of cli classic art and they convinced
Speaker 3: them like, let us shoot you performing like one maybe
Speaker 3: two songs, and we'll shoot them with the Imax cameras
Speaker 3: and then we're gonna put together basically a compilation concert
Speaker 3: where people can go and see it in imax and
Speaker 3: they'll have all of these artists. It was like Macy
Speaker 3: Gray and Moby and kid Rock and it was like
Speaker 3: Sheryl Crow and part of the part of the problem,
Speaker 3: like and it totally flopped. And so you know, everyone
Speaker 3: was like, well why did it flop? Because the idea
Speaker 3: was like, well, we'll get a wide range of artists,
Speaker 3: so everyone will have at least someone they like. But
Speaker 3: it worked. The other way I think is like, well,
Speaker 3: I only like two artists in the lineup and they
Speaker 3: only do two songs. So but if you had wide
Speaker 3: ranging taste in music, I enjoyed like every performance. It
Speaker 3: was incredible. It was so cool.
Speaker 2: That's awesome.
Speaker 3: All access it was called all access. So yeah, it's
Speaker 3: I don't know how the hell we got talking about
Speaker 3: concert films.
Speaker 2: Because I brought up the dome and or the not
Speaker 2: the not the dome.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but yeah, yeah, like you're videoing YouTube concert. It's
Speaker 3: a it's a shame that they're gouging people for the price,
Speaker 3: but what do you expect?
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, so this next one, uh, I'm going
Speaker 2: to go back to twenty eleven with the film That
Speaker 2: I Freaking Love, one of my favorite of all time. Uh,
Speaker 2: this is the first film I had seen from this director.
Speaker 2: I did not know what to expect, and after even
Speaker 2: like the first half hour, when you're you think you've
Speaker 2: got this understood, this film blew me away. And that
Speaker 2: is Pedro Almodovar's The Skin I Live In, one of
Speaker 2: the best films I've ever seen. Antonio Banderas is fucking
Speaker 2: insane in this He's so good. This movie has a
Speaker 2: couple points where you realize, God, these people are just
Speaker 2: simply the worst. And then somehow there is a couple
Speaker 2: of moments in this movie that turn everything that you
Speaker 2: were ready for on its head, and it's the best
Speaker 2: version of like that that m Night Shyamalan. What a
Speaker 2: twist type of moment without it necessarily being a twist,
Speaker 2: and just really saying you thought you knew what this
Speaker 2: movie was about, Fuck you, We're telling a completely different story.
Speaker 2: And it was the first time from a filmmaker like
Speaker 2: this that I felt so taken advantage of in a
Speaker 2: really good way because I was invested in this character arc,
Speaker 2: I was invested in the story and to have that
Speaker 2: rug pulled out from under you like that. I well
Speaker 2: in love with this movie. For those that have never
Speaker 2: seen it, this is a movie about this plastic surgeon
Speaker 2: who has made a new version of skin. It can
Speaker 2: literally withstand any sort of damage. It can be hurt
Speaker 2: in all kinds of different ways. But of course you
Speaker 2: can't like get grants and stuff for that, because nobody's
Speaker 2: gonna ethically be able to test that. And so he
Speaker 2: finds a way to test it in the craziest of ways.
Speaker 2: He literally has somebody kidnapped and says we're going to
Speaker 2: test this bitch now, and it goes. It goes there.
Speaker 2: There's a lot of really crazy things that in that
Speaker 2: plot you can think in your mind would go crazy.
Speaker 2: I guarantee it goes a couple steps further than all
Speaker 2: those pedro Almdovar is.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's not known for holding back.
Speaker 2: No. After having watched this and then a few others,
Speaker 2: he is a magnificent filmmaker. I got to say one
Speaker 2: of the coolest moments of going to California last year
Speaker 2: was standing in the Academy Museum and at the time
Speaker 2: they had a not large It wasn't as big as
Speaker 2: the John Waters exhibit or anything, but they had a
Speaker 2: very small section dedicated to the art of Pedro ahmadov Art,
Speaker 2: and they just had posters of all of his films,
Speaker 2: and it was so good.
Speaker 3: I remember that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was so crazy to see the juxtaposition from
Speaker 2: each one and yet having watched them and having each
Speaker 2: one immediately bring you back to those moments. Because his
Speaker 2: movies mean so damn much. They sit with you, they
Speaker 2: weigh on you, They are experiences to relive, and this
Speaker 2: movie really changed the way I look at a lot
Speaker 2: of things, and I could not be happier with it,
Speaker 2: because it is one that woke me up. This movie
Speaker 2: The Skin I Live In is a modern masterpiece and
Speaker 2: one that's so few you still have seen somehow. Definitely
Speaker 2: one that absolutely should be watched by everybody.
Speaker 3: I need to see more of his films. I think
Speaker 3: I've only seen Talk to Her, which was again pretty
Speaker 3: out there. But yeah, with you raving about this one
Speaker 3: and just knowing his reputation, I need to see more
Speaker 3: than just one of his films.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And there was a rumor for a little while
Speaker 2: that his films that were out on Criterion We're going
Speaker 2: to get clawed back and Sony was going to release
Speaker 2: them themselves. It looks like they've made their way back
Speaker 2: on Blu Ray for the most part. But either way,
Speaker 2: we were.
Speaker 3: Looking at a list of available titles from a distributor
Speaker 3: and a bunch of his stuff was in the list
Speaker 3: as available. So I'm sure if there's stuff that's been
Speaker 3: out of print, somebody's doubled them up and they'll be
Speaker 3: they'll be coming back.
Speaker 2: That would be amazing. Yeah, this is an absolute recommendation.
Speaker 2: This is literally one of my favorite films of all time.
Speaker 2: It is worth the watch for literally anyone, and we'll
Speaker 2: tell things with like the medical side and gender and
Speaker 2: politics in ways that you are not expected to be
Speaker 2: wrapped up in this film. It's incredible.
Speaker 3: I'll have to check it out again, right, Brian. Brian,
Speaker 3: Ryan says, So, so, got.
Speaker 2: A couple more left for us? What do you got next?
Speaker 2: All Right?
Speaker 3: The next one is uh, It's just a film that
Speaker 3: I've just absolutely loved from the moment I saw it,
Speaker 3: and I don't know anybody else who's seen it. The
Speaker 3: Visitor starring Richard Jenkin. It was written and directed by
Speaker 3: Tom McCarthy, who did The Station Agent and Spotlight those
Speaker 3: two films much more popular than The Visitor It and
Speaker 3: it's interesting, I think again I benefited from I don't
Speaker 3: even think I knew what it was about when I
Speaker 3: went to see it. I went because Richard Jenkins is
Speaker 3: always a great in everything he's ever done, and he
Speaker 3: is rarely the lead, and he's the lead of this film,
Speaker 3: and the movie is just it's one of those films
Speaker 3: that I think is I can't think of a flaw.
Speaker 3: It's it's kind of perfect. The script, the acting, the directing,
Speaker 3: the plot, like I have, I have zero notes like wow,
Speaker 3: And Richard Jenkins is brilliant as you would expect, but again,
Speaker 3: you never see him carrying a whole thing. He's always
Speaker 3: like a supporting actor and he's always brilliant. He's carrying
Speaker 3: this whole film. And the part that's really stuck with
Speaker 3: me was how smart the ending was. It's an absolute
Speaker 3: perfect ending and I don't want to it's not that
Speaker 3: it's a twist, but it requires you to have been
Speaker 3: paying attention to the film to get Wide ended the
Speaker 3: way it did. And if you understood Wide ended the
Speaker 3: way it did, you're just like you, just like you
Speaker 3: know you just bow bravo, Just brilliant. I saw it
Speaker 3: with my brother. He loved it, and I kept raving
Speaker 3: about how great the ending was and he's like why.
Speaker 3: He's like, I don't I didn't quite understand the ending.
Speaker 3: And then when I explained why he did what he
Speaker 3: did at the end, he's like, Oh, that's really cool,
Speaker 3: but it's super it's super nothing bombastic happens. Like he
Speaker 3: plays this guy who has an apartment on the side
Speaker 3: and he goes in and he finds these people living
Speaker 3: in it and weirdly ends up befriending them. And it's
Speaker 3: a it's an issue movie, which is really really appropriate
Speaker 3: at this time. It's about immigration and people getting deported,
Speaker 3: and while that's kind of what the movie is about,
Speaker 3: it's not. It's much more about the relationships between the
Speaker 3: people than than the immigration, like that's what that's what
Speaker 3: pulls them through the story, but it's really about their relationships.
Speaker 3: And again, Richard Jenkins, he never goes over the top,
Speaker 3: like there's there was a scene where it's like any
Speaker 3: other actor, this scene would have been the I want
Speaker 3: to win an award, I'm gonna go big here. And
Speaker 3: I don't know if it was his decision to not
Speaker 3: do it, or if the director was like, no, we're
Speaker 3: not We're not playing that game. But it played out
Speaker 3: the way that scene would play out in real life.
Speaker 3: You know, when you see people yelling and screaming and crying,
Speaker 3: that's not how most people behave themselves through through their lives.
Speaker 2: That's that's right.
Speaker 3: You know, there might be a few people that are
Speaker 3: like that over the top, but yeah, he just plays
Speaker 3: it as you would expect, no yelling, you know, and
Speaker 3: it's it works like it makes the scene so powerful
Speaker 3: because you just completely believe it. I can't recommend it higher.
Speaker 3: Like one of my favorite movies of all time.
Speaker 2: Wow, I've heard good things about this, but never even
Speaker 2: I never had a chance to see it, knowing it's
Speaker 2: on two B in prime is nice and there's still
Speaker 2: a Blu ray that you can pick up quite cheap. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I love Richard Jenkins, going all the way back to
Speaker 2: things like Six Feet Under. He's incredible. Is he's always
Speaker 2: so good?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Yeah? And he if anyone wonders if he can
Speaker 3: carry a movie like in the soft, gentle way that
Speaker 3: he is, absolutely he can carry a movie.
Speaker 2: Nice.
Speaker 3: It's absolutely one of my all time favorite films and
Speaker 3: one of those like you can you can rewatch simply
Speaker 3: to just marvel at how like, Yeah, there's no I
Speaker 3: think I have no flaw. There's no flaws. Yeah, there's
Speaker 3: very few movies that like, no matter how much I
Speaker 3: love them, I can always usually find like something where
Speaker 3: I'm just like, it was perfect. It was perfect. If
Speaker 3: it wasn't for that, I'd still give it five stars,
Speaker 3: but it would be like absolute perfection if it had
Speaker 3: just this or just that. Like this, this one I got,
Speaker 3: I got nothing, and a lot of people will probably
Speaker 3: watch it be like, well that was fucking boring, but
Speaker 3: it spoke to me.
Speaker 2: I'm glad it did. I definitely need to see it
Speaker 2: as well. My next one. You mentioned it being one
Speaker 2: of your favorite films. I'll look at that. There's Gage.
Speaker 2: We talked about him earlier. Hey, hello, I am going
Speaker 2: to talk about one from the eighties that is kind
Speaker 2: of the opposite of what I felt. You know, when
Speaker 2: I talked about Babylon, everybody said that I was gonna
Speaker 2: hate it. This is one that everybody said I was
Speaker 2: gonna love, and I easily could have had too high
Speaker 2: of expectations. But I want to talk about how this
Speaker 2: film made me appreciate a couple things, and that is
Speaker 2: nineteen eighty seven's broadcast News. Broadcast News is. I mean,
Speaker 2: on its surface, you could really sum this up as
Speaker 2: a love triangle story at a news station starring William
Speaker 2: Hurts and James Brooks and or James Brooks, Albert Brooks,
Speaker 2: Holly Hunter. But really, this movie is so much about
Speaker 2: William Hurt and Holly Hunter that Albert Brooks is great
Speaker 2: in this, but he kind of takes a little back
Speaker 2: seat to the other two. This movie kind of taught
Speaker 2: me how to appreciate dialogue because this is probably the
Speaker 2: best written dialogue ever. It is something that I expected
Speaker 2: to like the film, because you know, movies about making
Speaker 2: movies or broadcasting or how the sausage is made through entertainment,
Speaker 2: they're always fun. But this movie takes like creating chemistry
Speaker 2: and inbuilt tension and drama between people and then using
Speaker 2: realistic language to develop characters in a way that I
Speaker 2: never expected to get from a film. This is the
Speaker 2: movie that made me fall for William Hurt. This is
Speaker 2: the movie that made Holly Hunter look like one of
Speaker 2: the most just approachable people in filmmaking. I could not
Speaker 2: believe how much more. I felt like I got out
Speaker 2: of this film on a personal level because of the
Speaker 2: way that they spoke, and I will never probably be
Speaker 2: able to lose that feeling about this movie. Every single
Speaker 2: time I've watched it, I feel like that's even gotten stronger.
Speaker 2: And yet so many people don't like this movie for
Speaker 2: similar reasons. It's just that it's a maybe boring to
Speaker 2: some people.
Speaker 3: I've Yeah, I mean, I'm assuming it must be people
Speaker 3: that are younger, because yeah, I have never heard anybody
Speaker 3: say anything bad about this film ever, right right, I
Speaker 3: eighty seven. I probably saw it when it first came out,
Speaker 3: and I just don't remember because I saw pretty much
Speaker 3: everything back in my teen days, and if I did,
Speaker 3: I probably thought it was boring because I was young.
Speaker 2: But yeah, it's.
Speaker 3: Definitely one that I definitely need to revisit because I'm
Speaker 3: certain I will appreciate it so much more now than
Speaker 3: another Cats. But yeah, I definitely need to revisit it,
Speaker 3: because especially if you're heaping that level of praise on it,
Speaker 3: like and William Hurt is really good. Yeah, I need
Speaker 3: to see it, damn it. I don't have time to
Speaker 3: watch all these movies same.
Speaker 2: I feel the same way and genuinely, for me, this
Speaker 2: is one that made me appreciate other films more. It
Speaker 2: is one of those that make you feel like you're
Speaker 2: watching a magic trick. And to me, it's those those
Speaker 2: moments that you're reaching for with films. A lot of
Speaker 2: the time, it's from one magic trick to another one
Speaker 2: that makes you feel like, man, they got me again.
Speaker 2: I I.
Speaker 3: It's really It's really interesting how like some movies are
Speaker 3: brilliant because they're obviously movies, right, and then there are
Speaker 3: others that you just kind of forget it's a movie,
Speaker 3: and both can be equally as entertaining, just in completely
Speaker 3: different ways.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 3: Like most I'm a huge Martin Scorsese fan, but his
Speaker 3: filmmaking is is in your face, like the actual the
Speaker 3: act of his making a film is part of the film.
Speaker 2: It's capital F films.
Speaker 3: Right, where whereas like lots of other things like broadcast
Speaker 3: news or the visitor, the filmmaking disappears yep, you know,
Speaker 3: and you're just like it's over and you're like, holy fuck,
Speaker 3: like is that real?
Speaker 2: Like, And that's the thing about broadcast news. A lot
Speaker 2: of the chemistry that is literally in many ways, especially
Speaker 2: from Albert brooks oozing off the screen. It feels genuine.
Speaker 2: These are real people, not characters. They have known each
Speaker 2: other for years and have this built in workplace tension
Speaker 2: and like weird sexual compatibility between them that is driving
Speaker 2: the overall chemistry just off the charts. It feels so
Speaker 2: realistic in this ship.
Speaker 3: No, I mean, I need to watch this sooner than later.
Speaker 2: I'm honestly, I'm surprised this one has not got a
Speaker 2: four K yet. I expected it too a while ago.
Speaker 2: Great movie got a good criterion released. Check it out.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's interesting that every one of yours.
Speaker 2: Is.
Speaker 3: I just I'm like, I need to see that right now.
Speaker 2: That's how I feel about yours too. Unfortunately, one of
Speaker 2: yours is as long as all of mine come home,
Speaker 2: all right? I got one more last one, so do I.
Speaker 3: And this one is.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 3: It feels like a lot of people are gonna be
Speaker 3: like really kind of obvious or basic. But I'm going
Speaker 3: way back to I think nineteen forty six. This one
Speaker 3: really woke me up to old movies can be amazing
Speaker 3: because nineteen I think it's nineteen forty six. I again,
Speaker 3: I saw this when I was probably early teen. My
Speaker 3: mom had said, oh, yeah, it's a great movie, you
Speaker 3: should watch that popped it in and the opening shot.
Speaker 3: I was like, what this is like fantasy? They made
Speaker 3: fantasy movies back then. It's a wonderful life. It's fucking brilliant.
Speaker 3: I mean, it's become a cliche of itself because of
Speaker 3: how much it's a Christmas movie. Now, right, it doesn't matter.
Speaker 3: You can watch this any time of the year. It's
Speaker 3: it doesn't like the fact that it is set during
Speaker 3: Christmas time. Who gives a shit, that's not what it's about. Yeah,
Speaker 3: it's just it totally blew my mind that, like an old, old,
Speaker 3: old film. Could one not be just based in reality too?
Speaker 3: Like it's dark, Like it's dark. Yeah, like it's just
Speaker 3: it just blew me away. I was like, holy hell,
Speaker 3: and and from the like, from that moment on, anybody
Speaker 3: that said I don't like old movies, I don't like
Speaker 3: black and white movies. I like, who you're an idiot, Like,
Speaker 3: you're throwing away you know, sixty years, seventy years, depending
Speaker 3: on what you define as an old movie. Certainly if
Speaker 3: your cut off is black and white, you're throwing away
Speaker 3: at least like sixty years of films that are absolutely incredible.
Speaker 3: There's nothing, there's nothing people are making stories of today
Speaker 3: that is new. Like the perfect example of this is
Speaker 3: like anytime you think we're like, oh, well it's old,
Speaker 3: they weren't as sophisticated. They didn't know this, they didn't
Speaker 3: know that it wasn't a movie. But when we were
Speaker 3: in vacation years ago, we were in a bookstore in
Speaker 3: Paris and there was a book that was a collection.
Speaker 3: It was one person's huge collection of pornographic photography back
Speaker 3: to the dawn of cameras, like like eighteen like it's late,
Speaker 3: you know, eighteen hundred's onward. And flipping through this book,
Speaker 3: it was just mind blowing. It was like, yeah, like
Speaker 3: everyone thinks like, oh, if it's old, then it's you know,
Speaker 3: no anything you've ever thought of or done. People been
Speaker 3: doing it since fucking caveman days.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 3: So to think that a film from nineteen forty six
Speaker 3: can't be sophisticated, or can't be about this subject or
Speaker 3: that subject, or you know, can't be as intriguing or
Speaker 3: entertaining as a new movie, get your head out of
Speaker 3: your ass, like seriously, like yeah, it's just foolishness. I
Speaker 3: mean I don't know if miss Corsese was the first
Speaker 3: person to say it. I just saw meme with his
Speaker 3: face on it. But like, there aren't any old movies,
Speaker 3: They're just movies you haven't seen yet. Right to just
Speaker 3: shut yourself off to half of the history of cinema
Speaker 3: because it's old, you're just being an idiot. I'm sorry.
Speaker 2: I mean, honestly, I wrote the same same type of
Speaker 2: shade to anybody that's talking about modern cinema too. There's
Speaker 2: still great things being made, Yeah, and yet there's lots
Speaker 2: of people that won't watch stuff post two thousand. There's
Speaker 2: still incredible films coming out.
Speaker 3: Come on, Yeah, I mean it's like to think that, like,
Speaker 3: you know, yeah, probably if you look back and you
Speaker 3: list all, Like, when we look back at old films,
Speaker 3: it's usually, you know, the good ones are the ones
Speaker 3: that have risen to the top, and we still can
Speaker 3: easily go back and see and be like, yeah, see
Speaker 3: great movies. Well flip that over and today, you know, yeah,
Speaker 3: there's there's going to be a smattering of really great
Speaker 3: films today and a bunch of crap. Yeah, the same
Speaker 3: thing going back in history. Like it's just that the
Speaker 3: crap's gotten forgotten, and so you know people that are
Speaker 3: just like, oh, well, new films suck. It was like, well, no,
Speaker 3: there are lots of shitty old films too, but that
Speaker 3: doesn't mean one is better than the other. It's like, right,
Speaker 3: there are phenomenal old films, and for the most part,
Speaker 3: if they're old and people are still talking about them,
Speaker 3: this is a great good reason.
Speaker 2: This is true, absolutely true. Rants over well, mine is
Speaker 2: the complete opposite of that, hilariously, because I saved my
Speaker 2: newest one for last uh and it is a twenty
Speaker 2: twenty four film that surprised me because I have caught
Speaker 2: myself being cynical about things like legacy sequels or preals
Speaker 2: that come out years later or remakes, just like many
Speaker 2: people in the chat, probably just like many people, and
Speaker 2: all of these you know Facebook groups talking about what
Speaker 2: films are coming out, people shit on stuff before they've
Speaker 2: even seen a single frame. And I gotta admit, when
Speaker 2: I was growing up, the Omen franchise was very important
Speaker 2: to me, and I was shocked with how much I
Speaker 2: loved the first Omen. Last year. Neil Tiger Free starring
Speaker 2: in this prequel, is a powerhouse performance that rivals so
Speaker 2: many incredible female led horror movies from last year, possibly
Speaker 2: you know, one of the three best performances in any
Speaker 2: of those, which is crazy in a year that we
Speaker 2: saw stuff like The Substance and Smile to literally get
Speaker 2: you know, an Oscar nom for dem and people upset
Speaker 2: that Smile Too did not get any recognition or awards
Speaker 2: love and that that sort of thing is unheard of
Speaker 2: for something like SMA Too. And yet Neil Tiger Free
Speaker 2: and the First Omen is like subtly incredible as a
Speaker 2: prequel movie. This movie is so odd because it it
Speaker 2: does sort of change the the a tiny bit of
Speaker 2: lore compared to the first Omen film. But for a
Speaker 2: sequel prequel that comes out that that is.
Speaker 3: The only thing that that that still kind of bugs
Speaker 3: me is that everything now is a presequel. Yes, Like
Speaker 3: it's like a remake and either sequel or prequel. Like,
Speaker 3: so I was looking forward to this one as well,
Speaker 3: Like I saw the trailer for this one and I'd
Speaker 3: like you the original films like introduced me to horror films.
Speaker 2: Yep, So.
Speaker 3: Is this a remakes remake prequel?
Speaker 2: No, this literally leads into the original OMEN film. This
Speaker 2: is fully a prequel. That being said, there's if you
Speaker 2: are super anal about details. There's one thing that is
Speaker 2: gonna slightly bug you if you've seen the original one recently,
Speaker 2: because they do sort of muck something up in regards
Speaker 2: to it. That being said, the first Omen is incredible.
Speaker 2: The story is well written, It is incredibly well acted.
Speaker 2: Ralph Innoson is amazing in this movie too, second only
Speaker 2: to Neil tiger Free. The sets in this movie are astonishing.
Speaker 2: The deaths in this movie are crazy, and it's not
Speaker 2: like a slasher. If you've seen the Omen series, this
Speaker 2: feels very fit in the Omen franchise. And that's why
Speaker 2: this surprised the hell out of me because I thought
Speaker 2: this was going to be god awful. I originally when
Speaker 2: this came out. This is such a weird time in
Speaker 2: twenty twenty four cinematic history that we had this in Immaculate,
Speaker 2: two films essentially about nuns out at the same time,
Speaker 2: both with beautiful settings, both with strong female lead performances,
Speaker 2: and I chose to go see Immaculate in the theaters
Speaker 2: and wait on first Omen. I should have done the opposite.
Speaker 2: Even though I still love Immaculate. I thought it was great.
Speaker 2: It's just not nearly as good as the first Omen.
Speaker 2: This movie is part of a very strong horror twenty
Speaker 2: twenty four got talked about a lot last year, and
Speaker 2: I fear it's going to be forgotten because this, this
Speaker 2: does not get This does not deserve to be stuck
Speaker 2: with the argument against remakes or prequels or sequels. I mean,
Speaker 2: this came out, what fifty years after the original film,
Speaker 2: and the Omen.
Speaker 3: The omend franchise doesn't have a big like Freddy Krueger
Speaker 3: or Jason or Michael myerright, it doesn't have a standout.
Speaker 3: There's no big bag LaSure character to like, you know,
Speaker 3: make make dolls of and sell merch Like, yeah, it's
Speaker 3: it's the kind of horror movies I like. That's why
Speaker 3: I'm not a huge horror fan, because most films aren't
Speaker 3: like the Omen like I like the Omen because it's
Speaker 3: you know, there could be a forty five minute stretch
Speaker 3: where nobody dies and it's just creepy, Like it's just
Speaker 3: it has a vibe that goes through the whole film
Speaker 3: and then you know with just like spikes of violence
Speaker 3: here or there. I mean, the greatest OMEN death, in
Speaker 3: my opinion, wasn't even like all that. It wasn't even bloody,
Speaker 3: you know, it was a kid trapped into the ice.
Speaker 3: Fucking terrifying.
Speaker 2: Yep, yeah, this is this is a franchise that dealt
Speaker 2: in like ominous dread and not just reading.
Speaker 3: That quote dread that's the that is the perfect word.
Speaker 3: It's the omen just has a just veil of dread
Speaker 3: just all over it. And if you're saying this new
Speaker 3: one fits the bill, god damn it. I don't know
Speaker 3: what I'm gonna find time to watch it, but it's
Speaker 3: it's weird. It's like, I'm not typically what you know,
Speaker 3: most horror fans just love all things horror, and the
Speaker 3: bloodier and the gorrier the better, and so I just
Speaker 3: whenever someone's like, are you a horror fan, I'm like,
Speaker 3: not really, But the ones I like, I really fucking like,
Speaker 3: because yeah, because they they can scare me. Not with
Speaker 3: a jump scare that makes me jump out of my seat,
Speaker 3: I'll be fucking unnerved by it a month later, you
Speaker 3: know what I mean. It's it's it's the it's the
Speaker 3: jump scares and the gore. Not interested. I want this
Speaker 3: to freaking freak me out to my core for the
Speaker 3: rest of my life.
Speaker 2: Yep. I wanted to linger, I wanted to be heavy.
Speaker 2: I wanted to be something that I dread, Yes, exactly.
Speaker 3: So yeah, why and why on earth someone would want
Speaker 3: to feel that way? God only knows, but it's they
Speaker 3: make their great movies. I'm very glad to hear that this,
Speaker 3: this new one is up to the task of the original.
Speaker 3: So I'm I'll probably end up having to try and see.
Speaker 3: Of all the ones you listed, this is the one
Speaker 3: I'll probably try and squeeze in first.
Speaker 2: It's worth it. It's not a long watch, and it's
Speaker 2: it's just so well made, like.
Speaker 3: You said, it's it's because you know, really, my introduction
Speaker 3: to horror was was the Omen. There was I don't
Speaker 3: know if we had HBO or what. I was too
Speaker 3: freaking young, Like I don't even think I was a
Speaker 3: teen yet. Yeah, and I'm assuming it was probably my
Speaker 3: older brother that was watching them. But I would like
Speaker 3: pretend to be sleeping on the couch.
Speaker 2: Yep.
Speaker 3: And I saw the Omen, the Omen two, Amityville, Horror,
Speaker 3: the Car. There were a bunch that I don't even
Speaker 3: know what they were. There's just images just seared in
Speaker 3: my brain.
Speaker 2: Yep.
Speaker 3: And I can't maybe you know you e're ape bit
Speaker 3: and as someone in the channel will probably know because
Speaker 3: there's a lot of horror fans here, there was a
Speaker 3: woman ironing and then she just takes the iron and
Speaker 3: just kills somebody by like just smashing it, like just
Speaker 3: burning their face with it. And it's probably like a
Speaker 3: mid late seventies era. But yeah, like seeing that as
Speaker 3: probably a ten year old, I'm not gonna I don't
Speaker 3: know what movie it was, but I'm never gonna forget
Speaker 3: that scene freaked me out. But yeah, the car I
Speaker 3: rewatched that again not too long ago, and that one's
Speaker 3: kind of silly, but yeah, as a little kid, just
Speaker 3: a black car, a black ominous car that's killing people.
Speaker 2: Yep, gotta love it. Yeah, I mean I say similar
Speaker 2: to you. It wasn't HBO, but I think I saw
Speaker 2: Halloween and then after that I really immersed myself in
Speaker 2: the Omen because we had somehow we had all of
Speaker 2: them on VHS, and good god, I watched all of
Speaker 2: them so many times, even Sam Neil, who is Sam Neil.
Speaker 2: It's not the best movie, but it made a lot
Speaker 2: of those feelings, like actually, ling actually feel a lot
Speaker 2: of dread. Omen as a franchise is really well done
Speaker 2: as as actual films and not just horror films. I
Speaker 2: look at that the iron scene is from the Omen three.
Speaker 3: I wonder when that came out.
Speaker 2: Uh, the Omen three would have been eighty uh something
Speaker 2: like that, eighty one eighty one.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I should not have been seeing that because even
Speaker 3: if it were on cable like a year or two later,
Speaker 3: that means I was like ten or left.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, these are these are good, solid list of
Speaker 2: five films, totally understandable why they would all be surprising
Speaker 2: or defy your expectations. This was a really fun discussion.
Speaker 2: This was a great topic. Uh.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and again, like I get to talk with you
Speaker 3: about movies, Like seriously, I will do this every week.
Speaker 2: But we'll put you on uh, we'll put you on schedule.
Speaker 3: So much fun. Yeah and and yeah your list of
Speaker 3: five films as well, like every one of them, like
Speaker 3: I want to see them.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean certain things like I don't know how
Speaker 2: I haven't watched Tenant yet.
Speaker 3: I've wanted to. It's not what I've gotten around to.
Speaker 3: I need to go in with no expectations and I've
Speaker 3: improved on that front and enjoy the process.
Speaker 2: I agree what is like the.
Speaker 3: Oldest like advice in the world is like it's it's
Speaker 3: the journey, not the destination, right that that applies to
Speaker 3: tenant like one.
Speaker 2: Well that's a good thing. As we discussed earlier, two
Speaker 2: new Deaf Crocodile titles up for preorder tomorrow at nine
Speaker 2: am Pacific twelve noon Eastern.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 2: Those will be shipping at the end of next month.
Speaker 2: At the end of April. We are hard to work
Speaker 2: on a lot more titles coming soon tomorrow though, is
Speaker 2: Mutant Aliens and Inflatable Sex Doll of the Wastelands. Excited
Speaker 2: for everybody to get their hands on those pre order
Speaker 2: early pre order often and we got.
Speaker 3: We had a pretty long tangent talking about trailers. Anna
Speaker 3: who does our edits our trailers, love love the work
Speaker 3: she's doing for us. Her trailer for Inflatable Sex Doll
Speaker 3: is my favorite that she's done for us. Yet like
Speaker 3: it hits perfectly, doesn't spoil anything, makes you want to
Speaker 3: see it, just like a trailer supposed to that is
Speaker 3: up on YouTube and Vimeo. I encourage you to go
Speaker 3: check it out and then uh, it'll be in the
Speaker 3: newsletter and technically officially dropping tomorrow. But if you're listening
Speaker 3: to this, you get to know that I put I
Speaker 3: put it up there just before we got online. But
Speaker 3: the mutin Aaliens trailer officially dropping tomorrow.
Speaker 2: But but I just linked it.
Speaker 3: Just linked you there, So yeah, to check it out,
Speaker 3: Bill New Bill Plumpton And seriously, the Inflatable Sex All
Speaker 3: the Watlands trailer. My, if it wasn't a film we
Speaker 3: were releasing, I'd still say it's my favorite trailer I've
Speaker 3: seen in quite a while. I just it's a great job.
Speaker 2: And another thing to areciate that we didn't say earlier. Incredible,
Speaker 2: like smooth jazz score on this one, that is so good.
Speaker 2: The music is so perfect. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Then the trailers cut to the music from the film,
Speaker 3: So yeah, yeah, I'm gonna I'm gonna click that link
Speaker 3: myself and watch it again. I love that trailer so much.
Speaker 2: All that to say, there's gonna be a time in
Speaker 2: just a couple of short months where def Crocodile subscription
Speaker 2: will be available for everybody again for an annual subscription.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but domestic international now and only until the seventh
Speaker 3: of April. So if anybody international is listening watching h
Speaker 3: he got till April seventh to sign up and and
Speaker 3: save some shipping charges so we can send you a
Speaker 3: quarters worth of films all at once.
Speaker 2: This is the time, and then domestically that will be
Speaker 2: coming up in June, I believe, right.
Speaker 3: Well, probably the month of mayo probably enrollment, because I
Speaker 3: think it's got somewhere in there. I don't I don't know,
Speaker 3: lots of stuff coming up. He may June something like that,
Speaker 3: and we might we're talking about maybe not doing a
Speaker 3: six month twelve month thing. Maybe maybe we'll still do that,
Speaker 3: but we're also thinking maybe we'll do you know, I
Speaker 3: think it's is it a silloscope that does like you
Speaker 3: can get the next, the next ten or regardless if
Speaker 3: there's two a month, one a month, doesn't matter, you
Speaker 3: get the next. However, many there are just a little
Speaker 3: easier on our end to keep track of things, and
Speaker 3: if schedules change, it's like, well, you said I was
Speaker 3: getting this, I'm like, no, we told you were getting
Speaker 3: you were getting ten, you were getting ten.
Speaker 2: It's also easier to not have to just pick up
Speaker 2: the next one at a discount through a coupon code,
Speaker 2: because you'll just be getting them all, so pay attention. Yeah,
Speaker 2: subscribe to the Deaf Crocodile podcast. Go subscribe to the
