Speaker 1: You are now listening to the Someone's Favorite Productions podcast network.
Speaker 2: Hello there, and welcome back.
Speaker 3: What is this plance as connected disconnected? It's connected, disconnected, disconnected, disconnected, disconnected, disconnected, disconnected, disconnected, disconnected, disconnected, disconnected, disconnected.
Speaker 4: I'm starting to feel disconnected the number that has been disconnected.
Speaker 4: Welcome to another Thursday New intro. I hope people enjoyed that.
Speaker 4: Been working on that for a while.
Speaker 3: Very nice, very nice.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 4: For everybody who is seeing this gentleman for the first time,
Speaker 4: I hope everybody goes and opens up that channel of
Speaker 4: description in a new tab, write this moment and subscribes
Speaker 4: to my friend mister Carlon Cook.
Speaker 2: Carlin, thanks for coming on day.
Speaker 3: Thanks for having me. I'm very excited about this if
Speaker 3: I can stay awake.
Speaker 2: I'm worried about that too.
Speaker 4: I I've talked about it on here a few times,
Speaker 4: but what I've been doing recently is staying up until
Speaker 4: about one or two in the morning and then waking
Speaker 4: up at four forty five to go to work.
Speaker 2: And this week is particularly bad.
Speaker 3: My apologies for that one. That sucks.
Speaker 4: It's a part of the transition, I guess. So Carlin's channel.
Speaker 4: Everybody needs to go check this out, because one, you
Speaker 4: watch a lot of Vinegar Syndrome stuff I do, and
Speaker 4: a lot of shutter stuff, and there are a lot
Speaker 4: of people that will.
Speaker 2: Mention both of those things.
Speaker 4: Very very rarely do we get in depth reviews or
Speaker 4: discussion on every single title from somebody that actually watched them. So,
Speaker 4: I mean, first I want to find out because I
Speaker 4: don't know that I ever heard you tell the story.
Speaker 2: How'd you first find Vinegar Syndrome.
Speaker 3: I think some years ago I had made like a
Speaker 3: one time purchase because I wanted ice cream Man really bad.
Speaker 3: And then I also was just like, well, I'm not
Speaker 3: just gonna buy one thing, so you know, you look around,
Speaker 3: and I think at the same time, I ended up
Speaker 3: buying Spookyes, like just on a whim, Yeah, and fell
Speaker 3: in love with Spookys and was just like, oh my gosh.
Speaker 3: And then like some years later, I was like, well,
Speaker 3: does that say it again? So I eventually went back
Speaker 3: and then I got very hooked after that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you can tell you're pretty hooked cause you get
Speaker 4: you get some hauls every month.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I have some to show over here too,
Speaker 3: a lot.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we're gonna be going in depth into all of
Speaker 4: those and then Shutter. You've kind of like we were
Speaker 4: talking about before you got in like on the ground
Speaker 4: floor with Shutter. How how that originally happened.
Speaker 3: Yeah. So I had gotten Shutter myself and was really
Speaker 3: enjoying a lot of the stuff that they had on
Speaker 3: their service, and then I was just kind of like,
Speaker 3: I want to do movie reviews. Maybe if I kind
Speaker 3: of hitch my wag into this kind of fledgling horror
Speaker 3: streaming service, right that I can get something cool like
Speaker 3: screeners and be able to do that stuff. And I
Speaker 3: just send email all on a whim, and they were
Speaker 3: just like yeah, because at that point they weren't getting
Speaker 3: much press, so they're just like anyone, it's it's totally cool.
Speaker 3: So they just sent it and I've just been getting
Speaker 3: the stuff ever since. So I've been doing it about
Speaker 3: six years now, reviewing all their exclusive and original films,
Speaker 3: which is at one point it was four a month
Speaker 3: and now they're kind of down to two a month,
Speaker 3: but you know, getting some good stuff.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, I feel like what they've gotten has
Speaker 4: has cut down but perhaps gone up in quality.
Speaker 2: It feels like a lot of the time.
Speaker 3: It's here and there. Look, I'll let you in on
Speaker 3: a secrete. One of my one of my things when
Speaker 3: when I get these screeners is that, uh, if it's
Speaker 3: a if it says it's a Shutter original and it's
Speaker 3: made the United States, it's probably not going to be great. Yeah,
Speaker 3: But if it's a Shutter original made in another country,
Speaker 3: there is a chance it could be very good.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 3: So that's what's one of my roles. Exclusives could be
Speaker 3: you know, most likely exclusives are going to be pretty good,
Speaker 3: but you never know.
Speaker 4: Yeah, exclusives, if I'm remembering right, generally just stuff that
Speaker 4: they're distributing because they saw it somewhere and it was
Speaker 4: great and they wanted Yeah. Okay, so right, I thought,
Speaker 4: so yeah, tonight after the announcements, we're going to be
Speaker 4: covering underrated Shutter original Slash exclusive things that maybe people
Speaker 4: aren't talking about as much.
Speaker 2: It's not on my list.
Speaker 4: I kind of doubt it's on yours because it's getting
Speaker 4: pretty big press at the moment. But for an example,
Speaker 4: even though it's getting talked about, one of mine would
Speaker 4: be The Ugly.
Speaker 2: Stepsister from this year.
Speaker 4: I think it is getting talked about very highly but
Speaker 4: also not enough.
Speaker 2: That movie is kind of incredible. Did you enjoy that
Speaker 2: one this year? I don't remember.
Speaker 3: I really enjoyed it right now. Of all the new
Speaker 3: horror films I've seen this year, it's my number two
Speaker 3: behind Sinners.
Speaker 2: Same here.
Speaker 4: I think you were the first one that is aligned
Speaker 4: with me on that. That's awesome. We got about forty
Speaker 4: seven comments about a cat in your place, so if
Speaker 4: it makes an appearance tonight, they would like to see
Speaker 4: it up close.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I have two. The one is probably not going
Speaker 3: to make an appearance Willow because she's a little bit older.
Speaker 3: She's kind of settled in Josie though, is very active.
Speaker 3: She's actually running around right now, so you might see.
Speaker 2: Her nice well.
Speaker 4: Talking about this year, let's before we do pickups, what
Speaker 4: have you been watching recently? Because I always love hear
Speaker 4: hearing you talk about these titles. Okay, so I have
Speaker 4: a stack here.
Speaker 3: Vinegar Syndrome obviously, and actually I just the other day
Speaker 3: did my actually yesterday, just did my video for all
Speaker 3: the July releases I got from Vinegar Syndrome, ranking and
Speaker 3: reviewing all of them, because that's what I do every
Speaker 3: single month for these for people who don't know, so
Speaker 3: that's not available for everyone on my channel right now.
Speaker 3: It's just members have access at the moment for about
Speaker 3: a week, and then it will be available for everyone.
Speaker 3: See but in no particular order. I watch The Rage
Speaker 3: Carrie two, which honestly I like the movie as like
Speaker 3: a so bad it's good plus like nineties nostalgia in
Speaker 3: this moment of like coming out of the eighties film
Speaker 3: and feeling like they want to kind of still be ridiculous,
Speaker 3: but also are fighting trying to be serious with the film.
Speaker 3: And it's just a weird mix. But I like the movie,
Speaker 3: but this is kind of not a great release honestly,
Speaker 3: Like the movie looks good and I like the movie,
Speaker 3: but like, first of all, like what is this? Like
Speaker 3: like what is this? Like where's where's the extra artwork?
Speaker 3: Because people are paying for this. The other thing is
Speaker 3: there's like there's a commentary track, but then there's like
Speaker 3: one special feature like you couldn't have gotten no essays,
Speaker 3: Like you couldn't gotten someone I would talk about it, Like,
Speaker 3: just get someone to talk about it, do like a
Speaker 3: video essay or something.
Speaker 4: I think I mentioned this the maybe the week after
Speaker 4: it was announced. Maybe I did it on here. Maybe
Speaker 4: it was only the discord, but I've found out from
Speaker 4: Justin lit Liberty they were told they were not allowed
Speaker 4: to do anything for this disc MGM is the worst
Speaker 4: studio to work with, and they literally said, you cannot
Speaker 4: do anything for this release.
Speaker 3: Why would they that? It makes no sense. But I
Speaker 3: also the Blu Ray did not play either, and I
Speaker 3: verified that on multiple players.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 3: But the great thing is Vinegar Syndram's customer service is phenomenal.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I emailed them on a Sunday and the next day
Speaker 3: they emailed me back like pretty early, saying replacement in
Speaker 3: the mail. Got to meet within two days after that
Speaker 3: and it all fine. Yeah, no problem.
Speaker 4: Death Rattle in the chat wants to know if you're
Speaker 4: on letterbox so they can follow up on these.
Speaker 3: I am what is my name? I just I don't
Speaker 3: pay attention to things like that. Who am I? I
Speaker 3: think it's just yeah, Carlon Cook same.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that should be easy when it's on the screen.
Speaker 4: There you go, CARLN.
Speaker 2: Cook?
Speaker 3: Yeah all right, I can. I could rip through more
Speaker 3: of these. I gotta I gotta be careful with this one.
Speaker 3: Take off.
Speaker 2: Fragile, don'te that makes such over the nipples.
Speaker 3: So this is you and Celeste's fault because I was
Speaker 3: not buying adult titles until you guys had that episode
Speaker 3: where you're like, this is why it's worth buying these
Speaker 3: adult titles, and then I'm like, yeah, that sounds legit.
Speaker 3: So now I've been buying a lot of it, and
Speaker 3: take Off is a pretty good time. The story is
Speaker 3: very engaging. The acting is a lot of fun in it.
Speaker 3: You know, the sex scenes with a lot of these
Speaker 3: Golden Age films are just like a lot is the same,
Speaker 3: you know, like the same scene after the same scene
Speaker 3: after same scene. But as long as the acting is
Speaker 3: fun and the story is fun, like that's what matters
Speaker 3: to me most. So yeah, take Off, I recommend that one.
Speaker 3: It's good. Uh Mac and me. This was my first
Speaker 3: time seeing this movie, and I'm a passive person, but
Speaker 3: I wanted to punch these aliens. Yeah, that is a
Speaker 3: natural reaction to the macam terrible design. But the weird
Speaker 3: thing about it is like I did not like my
Speaker 3: experience watching this movie, but then when it was over,
Speaker 3: I was like, yeah, but there's something about it. It's
Speaker 3: calling me back a little bit, and I'm like, maybe
Speaker 3: I can give it another shot, and then I went
Speaker 3: through the special features and then I read the essays
Speaker 3: and then that just like made me actually kind of
Speaker 3: like it. So I am going to keep this and
Speaker 3: I I'll revisit. I'll revisit at some point.
Speaker 4: Kind of Liking it is better than loathing it, so
Speaker 4: that's nice.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but the special features are great. Essays are great.
Speaker 3: A big fan of that stuff. Then I also did
Speaker 3: Jungari Monster from the Deep. It's okay. It has its
Speaker 3: own charm, you know, South Koreana and Kaiju film. It
Speaker 3: has its own charm here and there, but it's pretty slow.
Speaker 3: Kind of hope.
Speaker 2: Are you normally a big monster fan?
Speaker 3: Well, I will say that the last two years I
Speaker 3: really liked what they were putting out in July of Reptiloicus,
Speaker 3: and then a year before that, Gorgo Love Gorgo. Gorgo's wonderful,
Speaker 3: and then Reptilicus was a lot of fun. This is
Speaker 3: the weakest, so I think if they stick with this
Speaker 3: every July, unfortunately, I think it might be going down. Yeah,
Speaker 3: but you know, it's still fun to see it one
Speaker 3: time and then I can get rid of this. Special
Speaker 3: features are solid, so that's good.
Speaker 4: But yeah, the special poster thing they do in all
Speaker 4: of these is really cool.
Speaker 3: The X ray thing, Yeah, he dances though, and I
Speaker 3: was just like, I don't know about that. And then
Speaker 3: the card Player, which I had been forewarned by you.
Speaker 3: The Argento film, I mean, it's a very annoying film
Speaker 3: in the beginning. In the beginning, like probably at least
Speaker 3: the first half of it, I was very annoyed by
Speaker 3: the amount of video poker in it, the fact that
Speaker 3: you're watching someone play video poker and there's someone constantly
Speaker 3: screaming while you're trying to watch it, Like I was overstimulated.
Speaker 3: And then the score is horrendous for this film, like
Speaker 3: and then you're just like, oh, Claudio Seminetti did it
Speaker 3: from Goblin and you're just like how, And then you
Speaker 3: find out it's because, oh yep. And then then you
Speaker 3: find out it's because the lead actress was just like, hey, Claudio,
Speaker 3: you know what's like really hot right now, German techno,
Speaker 3: and he's just like, hey, I should try that, and
Speaker 3: he did. But the special Teachers are pretty solid, and
Speaker 3: I actually liked like the end of the film, probably
Speaker 3: the last like half hour or so, it was pretty
Speaker 3: fun as like a crappy film, so I think I'm
Speaker 3: gonna keep it. I feel bad.
Speaker 4: About that, but I the first time I saw The
Speaker 4: Card Player, I think my first thought similar to that
Speaker 4: when I found out Simon Eddy again. I was like, Wait,
Speaker 4: all these people that used to be incredible made this
Speaker 4: movie and they all just decided to be terrible together.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they all forgot how to do their craft right.
Speaker 2: Yeah, what they were known for, what they were lauded for.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yep. Well then I did the Gosser five
Speaker 3: Dead on the Crimson Canvas. I mean, I love this artwork.
Speaker 3: The artwork's a lot of fun. I'm a sucker for Giallo,
Speaker 3: which is why I got it. It's shot on video.
Speaker 3: For how low budget it is, there are some pretty
Speaker 3: impressive practical effects in it, I thought. And you know,
Speaker 3: there's the Giallo mystery in it, so I like it
Speaker 3: as a Giallo homage. There is a special feature on
Speaker 3: here called is it Giallo? And they say, have some
Speaker 3: dude say it is Giallo? And I disagree that it's not.
Speaker 3: I'm one of those people he warns about in the
Speaker 3: beginning of it. There are people who will tell you
Speaker 3: that it has to be Italian made to be Gialla
Speaker 3: and I'm like, yeah, yeah, that's what I think. So
Speaker 3: so this is not Giallo homage or parody kind of,
Speaker 3: but it didn't love it. Pacing was really bad. Special
Speaker 3: feature is quite good though, and then A New Leaf
Speaker 3: and this is extremely good.
Speaker 2: Oh nice, I was.
Speaker 3: I was kind of interested in it. It's it's like
Speaker 3: a screwball comedy from nineteen seventy one. I fell in
Speaker 3: love with this film from like the first fifteen minutes.
Speaker 3: It is so real well written, it is so witty,
Speaker 3: it's so well acted. It's phenomenal. And then all the
Speaker 3: special features, like Cinematograph has been doing such a good job,
Speaker 3: and I think a lot of people are sleeping on
Speaker 3: their stuff because it's not like the typical vinegar syndrome.
Speaker 3: But this is an unbelievable film if you like like
Speaker 3: kind of dark comedy type stuff, and Walter Mathout and
Speaker 3: Elaine May are phenomenal in it. The special features are unbelievable.
Speaker 3: They have five essays in this. I think that's the
Speaker 3: most essays I've had from one of their releases before,
Speaker 3: and their essays are always top notch. So this is
Speaker 3: an unbelievable release, and I think everyone should pick it up.
Speaker 3: It's so good.
Speaker 4: Matt dannelin May kind of always incredible, so I know
Speaker 4: I knew that was gonna be great.
Speaker 3: And then I'll just throw this as my last one.
Speaker 3: I've been liking some VHS hit fest nice. The Killing
Speaker 3: Tide is ridiculous. This is a shot on video action film.
Speaker 3: It's like action revenge and it is. It just goes
Speaker 3: hard like. The pacing is unbelievable. I've never seen a
Speaker 3: shot on video film that has pacing like this. It's
Speaker 3: just so much fun. There's so much action to it,
Speaker 3: really ridiculous characters. The dialogue is horrendous, but in a
Speaker 3: really fun way. That acting isn't good, but in a
Speaker 3: really fun way, like this is top notch garbage. Love
Speaker 3: this film, Killing Time, get it. It's price still available, but.
Speaker 4: Yeah, this reminds me, and this is not a This
Speaker 4: week watch. I was trying to track down the rights
Speaker 4: to see if I could work with somebody to put
Speaker 4: this out, but I cannot find the director, so I'm
Speaker 4: just gonna throw it out there to see if anybody
Speaker 4: else is gonna work on this. Similar to VHS hit Fest,
Speaker 4: go on YouTube and look up a full movie called
Speaker 4: The Skid Kid if I remember right, it is from
Speaker 4: like nineteen ninety and essentially.
Speaker 2: This is a I don't even know how to explain this.
Speaker 4: There is a kid that sits down on the street
Speaker 4: on nothing and drives and they film it in stop
Speaker 4: motion and it's fucking incredible. It is the most VHS
Speaker 4: Hit Fest title that I've not seen on VHS hit Fest.
Speaker 4: It is really funny. There's some really genuinely good comedy.
Speaker 4: I think it came out of Saint Louis, so kind
Speaker 4: of close to for me. Was really hoping I could
Speaker 4: find the owner and then go over there and try
Speaker 4: to interview a bunch of people. But it is a
Speaker 4: hell of a good time. Go everybody should go find
Speaker 4: the Skid Kid. While you're watching this, put in your
Speaker 4: watch later playlist. You'll love it. It is a blast.
Speaker 2: Sounds good recent watches.
Speaker 4: I'm going the exact opposite of you, because I watched
Speaker 4: just a ton of new stuff. This last weekend was
Speaker 4: a ridiculous five feature day, back to back in the
Speaker 4: theater for me and my wife, and it was very
Speaker 4: all over the place. The low's first because these are
Speaker 4: less fun to talk about. I don't know why, but
Speaker 4: I watched Bambi The Reckoning in a theater this weekend.
Speaker 2: Bad movie.
Speaker 4: First of all, the CGI is god awful, but I
Speaker 4: swear about like thirty five minutes of this movie where
Speaker 4: somebody asking where's your grandma or where's this person I
Speaker 4: left you in the room with because now they're missing it,
Speaker 4: now they're in danger. Watch Bamby the Reckoning. It is
Speaker 4: an absolute waste of time. It's not even fun kills.
Speaker 4: There's complete nonsensical everything. Why did we make that?
Speaker 2: Guys? Come on.
Speaker 4: Next one that's also bad. The Home starring Pete Davidson.
Speaker 4: Watched that this last weekend. It is essentially Pete Davidson
Speaker 4: is a I think he's meant to be like an
Speaker 4: older teenager, even though he's like thirty seven or however
Speaker 4: old he is. He's probably only like twenty six, but
Speaker 4: he's been aged like everything. He is somebody that got
Speaker 4: in trouble and now he has been sentenced to go
Speaker 4: work in this retirement home. And there's a lot of
Speaker 4: stuff going on behind the scenes, as it always happens
Speaker 4: on these movies, and it's real bad for the entire thing.
Speaker 4: And then the last nine minutes are batshit amazing but
Speaker 4: the rest of it was such a slog it just
Speaker 4: completely soiled it. This might be the worst script I've
Speaker 4: seen in years, but at its heart, it feels like
Speaker 4: Society mixed with all of the worst movies you could
Speaker 4: ever imagine.
Speaker 3: Oh dang, the Society got me like.
Speaker 2: I love right right right?
Speaker 4: I love Society, one of my favorite movies of all time.
Speaker 4: But then there are the other three that I watched
Speaker 4: that day, and these are all pretty decent. Not like killer,
Speaker 4: amazing movies, but if you're gonna watch them, these are decent.
Speaker 4: The first one is oh Hi, which I think is
Speaker 4: going to go under a lot of radars this year.
Speaker 4: It is being advertised as a rom com that isn't
Speaker 4: necessarily a rom com. It basically turns into like a
Speaker 4: thriller after about twenty minutes into the film, and it's
Speaker 4: really good. There's some really great dialogue in this. The
Speaker 4: script is genuinely strong. It just doesn't go there where
Speaker 4: you think it probably should go a few times. It's
Speaker 4: a Sony Pictures Classics title, So it's one of those
Speaker 4: things that I feel like they could have gone a
Speaker 4: little further, and maybe like the pressure from all of
Speaker 4: this was just let's pull it back a little bit,
Speaker 4: which kind of I feel like it kneecaps a lot
Speaker 4: of those movies unfortunately too great.
Speaker 2: Usually the next one, this one is.
Speaker 4: A hell of a swing, and that is House on Eden,
Speaker 4: which is TikTok stars Selena and Chris Collins.
Speaker 2: This is a found footage film. Did you see this one?
Speaker 3: I think this one's coming to shutter, I believe so, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: it's it's not there yet. I haven't seen it yet,
Speaker 3: but I know I will be seeing it. That's all.
Speaker 4: So it's a found footage movie, and that if you're
Speaker 4: not in on found footage, you were gonna hate this
Speaker 4: movie because it leans heavily into found like it's it's
Speaker 4: kind of a little too shaky in some of the scenes.
Speaker 4: This is one of those things that I was more
Speaker 4: impressed that they made this movie than loved the movie.
Speaker 4: Chris Collins directed it, and there's literally only three people
Speaker 4: that are in most of the movie. There's like you're
Speaker 4: driving by somebody in like a couple scenes, or you
Speaker 4: see a couple of questions asked, but that it's literally
Speaker 4: less than like ninety seconds of other people. The movie's
Speaker 4: pretty good. The acting is pretty decent. The story is
Speaker 4: completely believe up until it isn't, which it's a fan
Speaker 4: footage ghost story movie basically, so of course, but this
Speaker 4: is the same sort of thing. For oh Hi, I
Speaker 4: feel like it was it could have been great, and
Speaker 4: then they really only went there in like the last
Speaker 4: eight minutes, which that part was genuinely good, but I
Speaker 4: don't know. For some reason, this one felt a little
Speaker 4: more promising because it was such an indie director and
Speaker 4: they were kind of just giving it. They're all on
Speaker 4: screen and behind the camera, which is nice, But then
Speaker 4: the last one. I'm not like huge on Marvel movies
Speaker 4: or anything like that, but saw the New Fantastic Four
Speaker 4: and I felt like this movie was aggressively fine. It
Speaker 4: was just doing everything it could to go right down
Speaker 4: the middle, give me a strike and honestly to be
Speaker 4: a Fantastic Four movie that was successful. That was all
Speaker 4: it had to do. It was the best Fantastic Four
Speaker 4: movie by a long shot. That's not hard at this point,
Speaker 4: but it wasn't a masterpiece or even it barely would
Speaker 4: get to like mid tier Marvel over the grand scheme
Speaker 4: of the rankings. For me, I also will say some
Speaker 4: egregiously terrible CGI.
Speaker 2: At the end of this movie, you're.
Speaker 4: Fucking Marvel and you can't get decent CGI to show
Speaker 4: a baby moving like that. That pissed me off beyond
Speaker 4: belief because it was it took you out of the
Speaker 4: entire movie.
Speaker 2: It was awful. But that's Marvel for you in twenty
Speaker 2: twenty five.
Speaker 3: Yeah, unfortunately, I'm actually I'm actually going through, sorry, actually
Speaker 3: going through and watching all the Marvel movies with my father.
Speaker 2: And how's that going? Watching them back into.
Speaker 3: Our next one is The Eternals, and I'm not excited.
Speaker 3: I'd seen it before and I just know I'm in
Speaker 3: for a bad time again.
Speaker 4: I mean, at least that one was a swing and
Speaker 4: different than everything else, but it still wasn't good. Yeah,
Speaker 4: you do some major incredible Haul videos.
Speaker 2: So let's hear your fantastic pickups this week.
Speaker 5: Okay, first of all, I got some movies from Diabolic
Speaker 5: DABD because it had been a little bit since I
Speaker 5: had ordered from them, and they had a pre order
Speaker 5: on Cafe Flesh uh, and I really wanted to get
Speaker 5: my hands on this because I found out about the
Speaker 5: original release of it, which I guess was like the
Speaker 5: special edition from your podcast.
Speaker 3: But I listened to it like a week late, and
Speaker 3: then it was gone, and so I was like, oh crap,
Speaker 3: because I wanted to check this out because isn't it
Speaker 3: the same person who did Doctor Caligari yep, and that
Speaker 3: is such a weird movie. But I enjoyed it how
Speaker 3: weird it was, so I just had the had to.
Speaker 3: So I got Cafe Flesh from them, and then I
Speaker 3: just picked up some other stuff because like I said before,
Speaker 3: I can't just buy one thing. I gotta make it
Speaker 3: worth my time. So I got It Follows, which I
Speaker 3: didn't believe this, Yeah, the second site release of it follows.
Speaker 3: Great film. I typically don't like like ghost ish films, Yeah,
Speaker 3: but this one speaks to me. It's very good. And
Speaker 3: then doubling up on the Michael Monroe, I got Long
Speaker 3: Legs because I love this film. It wasn't like my
Speaker 3: top one or two of last year, but it was
Speaker 3: my favorite of last year. Just love it so much.
Speaker 3: Like the atmosphere, it's so good. So also I OZ
Speaker 3: Perkins fan, so that's why I also doubled up on
Speaker 3: him and got The Black Coat's Daughter because this is
Speaker 3: my favorite film of his. I love it so much. Oh, yeah,
Speaker 3: and I was just like, I have to own it,
Speaker 3: like I at some point they need to own it.
Speaker 3: So and then I'm going to force my wife to
Speaker 3: watch this with me in October. So it's gonna happen.
Speaker 3: It's gonna happen. So then I also purchased okay, whoops,
Speaker 3: dropping stuff. Let me go through some of the other
Speaker 3: vinegar syndrome stuff I picked up. I got the Shanghai Triad.
Speaker 2: Oh nice. I wanted to see that one.
Speaker 3: Looks really good. Don't know much about it, but I
Speaker 3: just you know, it looked awesome. It's very highly rated
Speaker 3: from what I saw in letterbox, so I was like, yeah,
Speaker 3: I should get this because it was on sale. I'm like,
Speaker 3: let's do that VHS hitfest night. I heard this is
Speaker 3: like some like schlubby homely vampire dude in the city.
Speaker 3: It looks stupid, but my kind is stupid, so I'm
Speaker 3: very interested in that. Also got well, I got to
Speaker 3: look at this one. Is this all right? I think
Speaker 3: Traffic Desires are Traffic of Desire and Fantasy World the
Speaker 3: double pack, and then sorry, I kind of painted myself
Speaker 3: back into a corner here, all right, there we go,
Speaker 3: and then the last place I ordered from was is
Speaker 3: it Travis who owns Odyssey Movies. Yes, okay, sure, So
Speaker 3: I wanted to support him, and I saw I had
Speaker 3: some cool stuff on there, so I made a purchase
Speaker 3: from his site, osseymovies dot com. So I did did
Speaker 3: my first indicator, which body double.
Speaker 2: Want to get special features there.
Speaker 3: I've never seen it, been wanting to see it for
Speaker 3: quite some time, so I had to get it. Finally,
Speaker 3: the Lost Boys on four K because I don't have it,
Speaker 3: and I was like I should, and also coincidentally I
Speaker 3: got this, and then I booked. I got tickets to
Speaker 3: go to the Mahoning Drive in in Pennsylvania to see
Speaker 3: this a thirty five millimeter and a one hour concert
Speaker 3: from Tim Capello before the showing.
Speaker 2: It's a lot of saxophone.
Speaker 3: Yeah, pretty excited. Well, he works with this this band
Speaker 3: I really like called Gunship, and he phenomenal work with that,
Speaker 3: so I'm hoping he does some of their stuff. So
Speaker 3: Lost Boys, and then the last two things I got
Speaker 3: were Terror Vision. Been really wanting pop Atopoulus because it
Speaker 3: just looks ridiculous and fun. And I have to say that,
Speaker 3: like Travis put on the site that like a note
Speaker 3: with this that is damaged and like I don't know, okay,
Speaker 3: I don't know if you'll be able to see it
Speaker 3: or not, but like that is the extent of the damage.
Speaker 2: That's probably it.
Speaker 3: That's like not damage really to me, Like, yeah, I've
Speaker 3: had vinegar syndrome stuff damage worse than that.
Speaker 4: But all I can say is, have you met anyone
Speaker 4: on the internet because they about that.
Speaker 2: I won't.
Speaker 3: And then the last thing I got was the Newly
Speaker 3: deads which I've been wanting to check out, so I
Speaker 3: have some spaces in what I want to pick up
Speaker 3: from terror Vision still, so this has helped out.
Speaker 4: So when you get to the pop a topless disc,
Speaker 4: please let me know what you think of our visual essay,
Speaker 4: because man, was it?
Speaker 3: Oh that's right, you have something on there. I forgot
Speaker 3: about that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we got wheeled and a wig on that disc.
Speaker 3: Oh okay perfect.
Speaker 4: I always try to like show people one of our
Speaker 4: more like fun side of things that we did, and
Speaker 4: I can't share that link because there's nudity in it
Speaker 4: and YouTube blocks it, so yeah, ruins everything. I have
Speaker 4: some off the wall picks that are not like normal
Speaker 4: stuff that I would show and I just kind of
Speaker 4: wanted to make it fun, different type of things. So
Speaker 4: I heard that Hamilton Book was going to be having
Speaker 4: a really great drop compared to normal this last time,
Speaker 4: and they did pretty good. There were some really great
Speaker 4: prices on stuff. But the biggest thing that kind of
Speaker 4: I don't know, excited me. I guess streaming only titles
Speaker 4: in the US that got Canadian releases. So I picked
Speaker 4: up a few of these on the extra cheap. This
Speaker 4: is a Fleabag the Complete Series on Blu Ray. This
Speaker 4: was I think either four ninety five or five ninety
Speaker 4: five brand new, sealed legit disc of Fleabag the Complete Series,
Speaker 4: like an Emmy winning great TV show for five or
Speaker 4: six dollars. I don't know how to argue with that.
Speaker 4: And then Netflix original titles from last year The Woman
Speaker 4: of the Hour, which I thought was pretty great last year.
Speaker 4: It was, and I haven't seen it yet, but may
Speaker 4: as well get a disc of it because I can't
Speaker 4: get in the US. Hit Man actually released in Canada.
Speaker 4: I supposedly decent. Have not seen it, but again, like
Speaker 4: I think those last two were four dollars five dollars, Wow,
Speaker 4: I mean.
Speaker 2: How do you say no to that?
Speaker 3: Right? Yeah? Take the Chance exactly.
Speaker 4: Some off the wall other picks that I don't get
Speaker 4: to talk about enough, disco texts Neon Nights series, they've
Speaker 4: been doing some really great, you know, titles that I
Speaker 4: would normally have to put my finger over like you did,
Speaker 4: but they do.
Speaker 2: Some really creative editing.
Speaker 4: So this is their Terrifying Girls High School Animal Classmates.
Speaker 4: This just came out very clever editing on the cover there.
Speaker 4: I've been trying to get more of these because pretty
Speaker 4: much every title they've picked for this line has been
Speaker 4: really fun, and not all of them are adult risque
Speaker 4: pink like this. Some of them are just fun and
Speaker 4: silly titles looks. And then on the more pink and
Speaker 4: risque line, I have got this really bad feeling that
Speaker 4: some of the old Nikatsu titles that Synaps did through
Speaker 4: their Impulse line are probably never going to be released
Speaker 4: by anyone else because we just don't have good elements
Speaker 4: for them. And so I've been trying to pick up
Speaker 4: as much of these as I can when I could
Speaker 4: get them cheap and I found somebody on Facebook that
Speaker 4: would sell me. I think I got nine of these
Speaker 4: for ten dollars apiece shipped, and I mean that's pretty great.
Speaker 4: So I just shared a couple true story women in jail.
Speaker 4: Hell of Love is the first one here, and these
Speaker 4: are DVD only, and then I never see this for
Speaker 4: sale anymore. This is the Nakatsu Roman Porno trailer collection
Speaker 4: that Nikatsu did. I love trailer comps, and I've never
Speaker 4: seen a pink film trailer comps.
Speaker 2: Sounds like a lot of fun.
Speaker 3: I didn't know that existed.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think they did. And they're numbered on the side.
Speaker 4: I don't know what the highest number is, but they've
Speaker 4: got like sixty of them. They only did I think
Speaker 4: two of them in Blu Ray out of that entire line.
Speaker 2: The rest are DVD.
Speaker 4: We just don't have great elements for a lot of them, unfortunately.
Speaker 4: So yeah, other than that, your channel, we talked about
Speaker 4: Vinegar Center, we talked about Shutter. You do like trying
Speaker 4: snacks and stuff on your shorts, But you also have
Speaker 4: a podcast.
Speaker 2: Tell everybody about your podcast.
Speaker 3: So I quit my pot is it?
Speaker 2: Okay?
Speaker 3: Okay? So I did for thirteen years. I did a
Speaker 3: craft beer podcast, and then I ended up quitting earlier
Speaker 3: this year because I just gave up drinking alcohol altogether
Speaker 3: for health reasons. Because GI issues basically, and it's just
Speaker 3: not worth it anymore. But good timing because the craft
Speaker 3: beer industry is skewing a bunch two non alcoholic beers now,
Speaker 3: and so I am doing a bunch of non alcoholic
Speaker 3: beer reviews that I'm putting on YouTube through shorts, And
Speaker 3: actually they've been gaining a decent amount of traction because
Speaker 3: there really aren't people reviewing those on there anymore right
Speaker 3: or at this point. But there's some phenomenal non alcoholic
Speaker 3: beer out there right now. The technology changed, so now
Speaker 3: it's good. It used to suck.
Speaker 4: I know this is not and I don't even drink,
Speaker 4: but I'm like fascinated with what is the what is
Speaker 4: the technology change?
Speaker 2: But we'll talk about that later.
Speaker 3: Yeah, right, I was going to go into it.
Speaker 2: Stuff on your channel. Anything coming up that you want
Speaker 2: to highlight.
Speaker 3: Well, I am trying to figure out so every year
Speaker 3: what I would do during October is that I would
Speaker 3: eat the new edition of the bean Boozled.
Speaker 2: Yep.
Speaker 3: So I can't do that this year because I have
Speaker 3: braces now, So next year I should be fine, though,
Speaker 3: But I'm trying to figure out, like what else can
Speaker 3: I do? So I'm trying to figure out should I
Speaker 3: eat something else like gross or something I don't know.
Speaker 3: I thought about getting like food grade insects or something
Speaker 3: to try, you know, something like that, because it's spooky.
Speaker 3: I mean, I've added some food grade insects before, but yeah,
Speaker 3: I think people get grossed out by that stuff.
Speaker 2: Absolutely they do.
Speaker 3: But I don't have anything like super exciting coming up.
Speaker 3: Just I love doing like my Vinegar Syndrome haul videos
Speaker 3: or any other random ones that I end up doing.
Speaker 3: But I get very excited about actually recording the ranking
Speaker 3: and review videos that I do for those, because I
Speaker 3: think that's super fun. But at the end of the year,
Speaker 3: I will definitely do kind of a wrap up of
Speaker 3: like my top usually ten or fifteen new horror movies
Speaker 3: of the year, and then I'll do a video the
Speaker 3: same of my top Vinegar Syndrome releases, which I will
Speaker 3: tell you right now that a New Leaf is my
Speaker 3: number two so far this year from Vinegar Syndrome. You
Speaker 3: want to know what number one is.
Speaker 4: I was trying to think if I could guess based
Speaker 4: on what I've seen you like in the past, Just
Speaker 4: tell me what's number one.
Speaker 3: Let's scare Jessica to death. I love that fucking movie,
Speaker 3: and there were release the essays and the special features
Speaker 3: add so much extra context to it. It's an unbelievable release.
Speaker 4: I don't remember what you said about what did you
Speaker 4: think of the Dirty Work release?
Speaker 2: Are you into that?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Comedy, I quite liked it.
Speaker 3: It was very good.
Speaker 4: It's less Yeah, I'm thrilled that they got into it,
Speaker 4: and I kind of think it's hilarious that so many
Speaker 4: people are like, oh, why is Vinegar Syndrome released in
Speaker 4: this It's it is so perfect, the amount of work
Speaker 4: that they went into to make that release incredible, Like
Speaker 4: that is exactly what Vinegar Syndrome has always been about.
Speaker 2: What the hell? Definitely all right? Uh, I think that's it.
Speaker 2: Ready to get into some announcements because.
Speaker 4: Man, you've got a crazy week. I didn't think it
Speaker 4: was gonna be that heavy, and Jesus you got some
Speaker 4: titles to cover.
Speaker 3: Well, I'm just excited when we get to arrow because
Speaker 3: there are two films in particular that I'm pumped about.
Speaker 4: Well, they are the first up tonight and we get
Speaker 4: to cover the Sadness first. This is one that got
Speaker 4: announced previously that it was going to be coming through
Speaker 4: this partnership with Shutter and it is a UK only title.
Speaker 4: This is coming on October twentieth on four K. This
Speaker 4: is the standard cover art that you'll get everywhere, but
Speaker 4: if you want, you can order straight from the site
Speaker 4: and get this ridiculous Johnny Ryan cover art. And it's
Speaker 4: pretty funny cover art. But I like that it's on
Speaker 4: the opposite side of the sleeve so that nobody has
Speaker 4: to feel super left out.
Speaker 2: Because I don't know about you.
Speaker 3: I don't order direct from Arrow anymore at all, I do.
Speaker 3: I mean I haven't in probably about a year or so,
Speaker 3: but I.
Speaker 4: Would, so the sadness funny enough a Shutter original. We'll
Speaker 4: talk about that in just a minute. This one has
Speaker 4: a new audio commentary with the writer, director and the
Speaker 4: cinematographer on here, two different archival commentaries, five behind the
Speaker 4: scenes featurettes, some comparisons. A lot of this stuff is
Speaker 4: just archival from a couple of the other extras that
Speaker 4: have already come out previously. And then nice looking slip cover.
Speaker 4: There's a booklet in here with some older storyboard stuff
Speaker 4: and then some new writing by Michelle Kisner and then
Speaker 4: the gentleman in the chat right now, mister Josh Hurtado.
Speaker 4: That just corrected me that there are five synaps Nakatsu
Speaker 4: blu rays. Oh Josh, thanks for hanging out. Can't wait
Speaker 4: to read your essay in this the Sadness tell us
Speaker 4: about it.
Speaker 3: It's a gross out, intense, ridiculously violent film from Taiwan,
Speaker 3: I believe if I'm remembering correctly, Yeah, I remember quite
Speaker 3: enjoying it when it was when I saw the screener
Speaker 3: before it hit shutter and really telling people, Hey, if
Speaker 3: you're like gorehounds and you want some real gross out
Speaker 3: stuff that's just like over the top, think inspired by
Speaker 3: like a Takashi Mika type deal, this is your jam. Basically.
Speaker 3: I for me personally, I liked it. I don't find
Speaker 3: myself typically returning to those types of film for like rewatches,
Speaker 3: but say it's good. It's a good film, for sure.
Speaker 4: I love a movie that in the we'll say month
Speaker 4: after it releases, in reviews, you frequently hear the word
Speaker 4: skull fucking, and that is something that you hear about
Speaker 4: this movie.
Speaker 3: It happened, It happened.
Speaker 2: Good movie.
Speaker 4: It's very much like a send up of how multiple
Speaker 4: governments handled the pandemic it is.
Speaker 2: It's not even hiding that at all.
Speaker 4: I mean you can tell that that's the case like
Speaker 4: eight minutes into this movie.
Speaker 2: Well made movie. I think this was the director's first film.
Speaker 2: Do you remember that?
Speaker 3: Yeah? It was. Yeah, he was like a like a
Speaker 3: US X pad or something.
Speaker 2: Yeah, in Taiwan.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and he honestly crushed it for a first time director.
Speaker 4: Very well made. There are a couple scenes in this
Speaker 4: that you will likely never forget. I mean there's the
Speaker 4: scene on the train that is incredible, and then the
Speaker 4: basketball court scene is a big one for a lot
Speaker 4: of people. But yeah, I love that you say basketball
Speaker 4: court and something goes, oh yeah, fun movie.
Speaker 2: If you're not in the gore, you will hate this,
Speaker 2: so do not care.
Speaker 4: Next up from then, the classic return Living Dead is
Speaker 4: hitting four K and Blu ray in a deluxe edition
Speaker 4: on October thirteenth over in the UK only. Obviously, Screen
Speaker 4: Factory has the rights in the US, so it's not
Speaker 4: coming out here and it will not be able to
Speaker 4: come out here.
Speaker 2: This is a good looking release.
Speaker 4: A lot of this is on the previous release, but
Speaker 4: the big thing the second disc has the More Brains documentary,
Speaker 4: which is really really good. Makes this a pretty stacked
Speaker 4: release even that has bonus features, which is nice. But
Speaker 4: then the big question for everybody that is a purist
Speaker 4: about this, the Deadbeat Dance is still not on this release.
Speaker 4: Somehow Second Site in their Blu ray steal book that
Speaker 4: was released. Gosh, we got to be going on like
Speaker 4: ten years ago. Now they're the only ones that were
Speaker 4: able to crack being able to get that in the licensing,
Speaker 4: So not sure what happened there. Nobody else has been
Speaker 4: able to do it. They replace it with another song
Speaker 4: like Return the Living Dead.
Speaker 3: I really enjoy the film, and you know, maybe I
Speaker 3: need to get this because I just have like an
Speaker 3: old Blu ray. I forget who released the one that
Speaker 3: I have? Did shout? Did screen Factory do it?
Speaker 4: They did a blue Yeah, and there's a couple like
Speaker 4: the studio even did an old blue here I believe.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it's the screen Factory one I have,
Speaker 3: So I might have to I might have to do this.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I bet this is gonna be a great release.
Speaker 4: The screen Factory four K looks good. This is likely
Speaker 4: the same scan, but it's arrow encoding, so it might
Speaker 4: even be slightly better, but it'll be at least as
Speaker 4: good as the screen factory for sure.
Speaker 3: This though, is that this is the one, This is
Speaker 3: the one.
Speaker 2: I'm so excited about the same one.
Speaker 4: October twenty seventh in the UK, October twenty eighth in
Speaker 4: the US on four K and Blu Ray. Miss forty
Speaker 4: five able from nineteen eighty one. Incredible rape revenge movie
Speaker 4: that is just a masterpiece that used to be on
Speaker 4: Blu Ray here in the US from draft House has
Speaker 4: been out of print.
Speaker 2: For ages for a long time. It was fetching like
Speaker 2: eighty dollars on eBay. I hope you didn't.
Speaker 4: Pay that, because this is a glorious release that will
Speaker 4: absolutely blow it out of the water this release. New
Speaker 4: commentary by of course Alexander Helder Nicholas. She literally wrote
Speaker 4: the book. She had to be on the commentary. I'm
Speaker 4: glad she's on here. New feature ratte with bj Clangelow,
Speaker 4: who is incredible. Great choice for this new featurete with
Speaker 4: Kat Ellinger who will do great. A bunch of archival interviews. Also,
Speaker 4: short film directed by Paul Rockman. A short film directed
Speaker 4: by Paul Rockman from both two thousand and four and
Speaker 4: twenty eleven.
Speaker 2: Just great.
Speaker 4: The fact that they got these, we got a sixty
Speaker 4: page perfect bound book with new writing by a bunch
Speaker 4: of people, including Kayla Janie and Brad Stevens, who are
Speaker 4: on here with archival writing this movie.
Speaker 2: Tell us about it and why you're excited.
Speaker 3: It's a wild ass film.
Speaker 2: Like I was.
Speaker 3: I do typically in October, like whole day long watch parties,
Speaker 3: yeah for you know, my channel, just whoever wants to join.
Speaker 3: And one year I had everyone pick a movie and
Speaker 3: someone picked Miss forty five, which I had not seen before,
Speaker 3: and I was just floored watching this movie. It's one
Speaker 3: of those, you know, assault revenge films, and I'm typically
Speaker 3: not huge into those, but the way this is shot,
Speaker 3: it's so interesting. The character is so interesting because she's
Speaker 3: like mute is one of the things about it. It
Speaker 3: gets really wild, and the revenge is very satisfying in it,
Speaker 3: and it's just it's so interesting. And there's like a
Speaker 3: like a trumpet saxophone in it, which doesn't make any
Speaker 3: sense to me. I remember watching that and just commenting
Speaker 3: on it while we're watching it. I'm just like, why
Speaker 3: why does that trumpet sound like a saxophone? Like It's weird,
Speaker 3: But it's got a great finish to really good movie
Speaker 3: really good and I've been wanting a new release of
Speaker 3: this for well ever since I saw it some years ago,
Speaker 3: so I got super excited when I saw this.
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is very good.
Speaker 4: One thing I did want to highlight, which I didn't
Speaker 4: mention at first, but I have to point this out.
Speaker 4: One of the best in the game, Sister Hide the
Speaker 4: artwork for this, which could have just been the original
Speaker 4: poster and all of us would have been happy. But
Speaker 4: the way this is a perfect homage of that poster
Speaker 4: and the character. This is a master work, and this
Speaker 4: is one I would likely hang the poster for this
Speaker 4: in the room. It's incredible, absolutely killer choice. Yeah, no
Speaker 4: notes this is this is pretty much a perfect choice
Speaker 4: for a release for Arrow.
Speaker 2: Stoked on this, So next up from them.
Speaker 4: We just talked about this recently and everybody knows it,
Speaker 4: so we won't spend a ton of time on it.
Speaker 4: But on October twenty seventh in the UK October twenty
Speaker 4: eighth in the US, they're doing a steel book version
Speaker 4: of their Trigger Treat four K released from two thousand
Speaker 4: and seven, the Michael Doherty Anthology. It's a great movie,
Speaker 4: most of us love it. That being said, they're clearly
Speaker 4: just out to make a lot of money with this,
Speaker 4: and granted you'll be able to put out five other
Speaker 4: movies that will surprise us, So I'm glad you're gonna
Speaker 4: make your bank.
Speaker 2: This has nothing in it that will interest me. I
Speaker 2: don't need to steal a book for this movie.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I actually bought the four K very recently to
Speaker 3: upgrade because I had it on DVD, and then I
Speaker 3: upgraded to blue, and then I upgraded again to four
Speaker 3: K because I watch it every year. It's one of
Speaker 3: my favorite Halloween films. But yeah, I just yeah, And
Speaker 3: for people who don't know, they're actually going to be
Speaker 3: putting out a new a new comic follow up, I
Speaker 3: got in on the Kickstarter for that, so nice should be.
Speaker 3: I hope the stories are good.
Speaker 4: And then the quote sequel, I guess has been in
Speaker 4: development hell for like forever eleven years literally, Yeah, like
Speaker 4: they came out I can't remember. I think it was
Speaker 4: at a convention or like a weekend event or something
Speaker 4: like that. They came out and said we're announcing Trigger
Speaker 4: Tree two and they've never nothing has happened from that
Speaker 4: since then. Yeah, next up, though, I will take full
Speaker 4: credit for this because clearly they put this together this quickly.
Speaker 4: October twentieth UK October twenty first, here in North America,
Speaker 4: we're getting a Blu ray of three and three Extremes.
Speaker 4: If you watched my this episode with Andy a couple
Speaker 4: of weeks ago, we.
Speaker 2: Or was that last week. Time is not a real
Speaker 2: thing anymore.
Speaker 4: I begged for a Blu ray release of three Extremes
Speaker 4: and literally immediately got it answered.
Speaker 2: Very very happy that this is coming out.
Speaker 4: Not to mention the fact that they also have three
Speaker 4: as part of this, I did not think they would
Speaker 4: because three Extremes is the big draw for most people.
Speaker 4: Very stoked on this. Even though it does not have
Speaker 4: the full length release of Dumplings, we don't need it necessarily,
Speaker 4: like it would have been a nice icing on the
Speaker 4: cake sort of situation. But new two K restoration of
Speaker 4: both movies by Arrow just incredible. We are getting new
Speaker 4: interviews on pretty much every single thing that we're getting
Speaker 4: in this. We're getting commentaries, we're getting older interviews that
Speaker 4: are newly edited. This is a really great package of
Speaker 4: just some really fun anthology movies.
Speaker 2: Have you seen Three Extremes?
Speaker 3: Yeah? I own it. Actually, I've actually been doing a
Speaker 3: series of short videos on my YouTube channel that are
Speaker 3: just for the people at the highest level of membership,
Speaker 3: the possession level of hidden gems in my collection. And
Speaker 3: Three Extremes was one that I did. It's very good.
Speaker 3: All the shorts are really well done. My favorite is
Speaker 3: cut the one by Well I say, Chamwiok Park. I
Speaker 3: know everyone says Park Chamwook. I think that sounds better
Speaker 3: is Chamwick Park? So yeah, phenomenal, big fan of that
Speaker 3: director anyway.
Speaker 4: Yeah, this is a knockout anybody that's been, you know,
Speaker 4: crying for this release for years. This is exactly what
Speaker 4: we could have wanted for anybody who's never seen it.
Speaker 4: I'll bring it up again. Three Extremes specifically, I think
Speaker 4: is the better of these two. But it's three shorts.
Speaker 4: They're not as short as like most other anthologies that
Speaker 4: people refer to when they talk about anthologies, but they're
Speaker 4: twenty five ish minutes long, all three of them, all
Speaker 4: done by masterworks of the genre. They're incredible. They're as
Speaker 4: usual in an anthology. They're not all of the highest quality,
Speaker 4: but they're all at least very very good, which is
Speaker 4: pretty rare with an anthology. And yeah, Three Extremes is
Speaker 4: pretty much a must if you like jahor in any
Speaker 4: sense of the word, if you like anthologies.
Speaker 2: This is a must.
Speaker 3: Own, very good.
Speaker 2: I'm so stoked for this one.
Speaker 4: I'm less stoked for October sixth in the UK, October
Speaker 4: fifth in North America.
Speaker 2: They tease this earlier this year.
Speaker 4: We are getting a four K or a Blu ray
Speaker 4: release of Spawn from ninety seven. This if you love
Speaker 4: the movie. This is a pretty good solid release of this.
Speaker 4: We got four K disc. We'll have the director's cut.
Speaker 4: You got a new commentary with Dave Baxter, who is
Speaker 4: a podcast host and comic book expert. You've got a
Speaker 4: new interview with Michael J.
Speaker 2: White.
Speaker 4: You've got a new interview with Melinda Clark and d B. Sweeney,
Speaker 4: new interview with the special effects artist Howard Berger and
Speaker 4: Greg Nacato, new interview with the music supervisor Happy Walters.
Speaker 2: There's even more.
Speaker 4: Plus they got archival featurettes on here, and then there's
Speaker 4: a second four K disc of the theatrical cut, And
Speaker 4: the fact that you're getting both on their own disc
Speaker 4: is just really telling of the quality that they're putting
Speaker 4: into this. This is going to be a really solid
Speaker 4: release for them. Are you a spawn fan Carling.
Speaker 3: I do like this movie and like one of the
Speaker 3: best soundtracks out there. Honestly, if you have if you
Speaker 3: haven't heard the music from the sound it's pretty good
Speaker 3: soundtrack for it, very very good. I like the film. Yeah,
Speaker 3: it's not great. I love how stupid John Legozama's performances
Speaker 3: and it's like so over the top and ridiculous, like
Speaker 3: he was feeling on himself when he was making this movie.
Speaker 3: But it's my kind of stupid. I really enjoy it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yes, we got the comment here isn't spawned that
Speaker 4: movie with a really bad cgikpe. Yeah, the CGI in
Speaker 4: this movie is really terrible, and honestly, I am kind
Speaker 4: of worried about what the four K is gonna make
Speaker 4: the CGI look like, because there's no way in hell
Speaker 4: they went back to rerender all of it.
Speaker 2: So yeah, who bully.
Speaker 4: Yeah, one that I wouldn't mind rewatching, but this is
Speaker 4: not one that I'm gonna pue. And then for many people,
Speaker 4: this was maybe the biggest title of this month. October
Speaker 4: twenty seventh of the UK. October twenty eighth in North America,
Speaker 4: A four K only released no blu ray disc of
Speaker 4: John Carpenter's in the Mouth of Madness.
Speaker 2: Amazing movie. This is not one that.
Speaker 4: Gets enough attention ever, and it's because it's Carpenter. If
Speaker 4: this was almost any other director, this would be their
Speaker 4: best movie.
Speaker 2: It is. It is that good.
Speaker 4: Sammy is incredible in this movie. Some of the effects
Speaker 4: and what they do with the setting of this movie
Speaker 4: are surreal in the best of ways. This is just
Speaker 4: really great lovecraft. As far as extras, we got a
Speaker 4: new commentary by Rebecca mckendrey and Elrick Kine, who you've
Speaker 4: heard on podcast for years if you're a horror fan.
Speaker 4: Newly filmed interview with Sandy King Carpenter, which is really great,
Speaker 4: a new interview with Jurgen prac Now, and then all
Speaker 4: kinds of archival extras. But then new writing by Guy Adams,
Speaker 4: Richard Cadre, George Daniel, Lee, Willow, Caitlin Maclay, Alexander West
Speaker 4: and again in the chat mister Josh Hurtado.
Speaker 2: This is a masterpiece. And look at that. We got
Speaker 2: a cat.
Speaker 3: This is Willow. This is the older one. I thought
Speaker 3: she wouldn't show up, but she's also a lab pound.
Speaker 2: She loves laps, had to make an appearance.
Speaker 3: Nice she's a gorgeous girl. She also has very stubby limbs.
Speaker 2: So in the mouth of madness, how are you feeling
Speaker 2: about this one?
Speaker 3: I really enjoy this film. I think this film is great,
Speaker 3: Sam Neil, like you said, is phenomenal, and it's it's
Speaker 3: a very effective horror film, but it's also really fun
Speaker 3: at the same time, like getting all the pieces of
Speaker 3: the Sutter Kane story that end up manifesting in this town.
Speaker 3: It's a great ride. I love it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, there's so much about this movie that makes it
Speaker 4: unique and special, and if you've never seen it, please
Speaker 4: please make an effort to even if you're like not
Speaker 4: a fan of usual Carpenter things he has done, Just
Speaker 4: like Aaron is saying the chat, He's done so many
Speaker 4: off the wall different genres mixed in with things. I mean,
Speaker 4: Assault on Precinct thirteen is a Western basically, but this
Speaker 4: is an absolute masterpiece in his filmography. I think it's
Speaker 4: it's pretty perfect. It's just it's Carpenter, and if it
Speaker 4: wasn't him, this would be looked at as an all
Speaker 4: time classic, and I think it is. You had a
Speaker 4: question from Ronnie. Is Willow named after Willow from Buffy?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 3: Actually I still actually haven't even seen Buffy. But she
Speaker 3: we actually named her Willow because she actually went through
Speaker 3: a lot before we got her, and willow trees, there's
Speaker 3: this whole thing about bending but not breaking type thing,
Speaker 3: So it was this poetic thing about all the stuff
Speaker 3: she's been through. She had a lot of health issues,
Speaker 3: her previous owner passed away, she was separated from her brother. Like, yeah,
Speaker 3: she had a hard time, but she's been doing great now.
Speaker 2: Well, and she's older, so must be good on well
Speaker 2: she's six.
Speaker 4: Yeah, all right, go into our next one, which again
Speaker 4: crazy that you got this line up this week because
Speaker 4: we got a lot of fun stuff to cover. The
Speaker 4: next Mondo Micabro pre order session is going to be Thursday,
Speaker 4: next Thursday, August seventh, at nine am Pacific noon Eastern.
Speaker 4: All three of these are coming on Blu Ray, and
Speaker 4: they are going to be limited lower than usual. Again,
Speaker 4: not inducing fomo in anyway. If you don't like these titles,
Speaker 4: don't buy him, nothing like that. But if you're in
Speaker 4: one of those people that's like, I'll get Monta Micabro soon.
Speaker 4: They are limiting all three of these to only a thousand.
Speaker 4: They just didn't think that they would sell super well,
Speaker 4: so they're limiting to less than they normally do because
Speaker 4: it's kind of a low key drop. But if you're
Speaker 4: into their sort of genre fair that they do at
Speaker 4: Mondta Micabro, these all sound incredible to me, so you
Speaker 4: may want to pay attention if you're normally into that.
Speaker 4: So this first one is The Power of Darkness from
Speaker 4: nineteen seventy six. This one is the first English friendly
Speaker 4: release of this title, and they say this is a
Speaker 4: must watch for adventurous film watchers. Brand new two K
Speaker 4: restoration or sorry it doesn't say brand new, I'm assuming
Speaker 4: it's fairly new two K restoration from the original nag.
Speaker 4: On this one there is the Spanish language track with
Speaker 4: newly translated optional English subtitles. I believe they corrected this
Speaker 4: later to say the dubbs here.
Speaker 2: Don't quote me on that one.
Speaker 4: I will have to check my notes, and they added
Speaker 4: it after I posted these. There is a short video
Speaker 4: that's just teaching you about the film. And then in
Speaker 4: the extras they got a twenty four page booklet on
Speaker 4: the history of Argentinian genre films, which to me, like
Speaker 4: that sounds like a musk read sort of thing. Monta Acabra.
Speaker 4: Have you other than what you just showed in the pickups?
Speaker 4: Have you checked out much from them in the past?
Speaker 3: Not a lot. I did purchase Bahachi Bushido, which I
Speaker 3: have not watched. Amazing movie, and there was something else
Speaker 3: I had gotten from them, and I can't remember what
Speaker 3: it was. Oh, In the Folds of the Flesh, which
Speaker 3: is a really wild Giallo film. I'm big into Giallo,
Speaker 3: by the way. I have a ton of Giallo reviews
Speaker 3: and giallo esque reviews on my channel. I went through
Speaker 3: a stint of like two years where I was watching
Speaker 3: and in depth reviewing tons of those films. But In
Speaker 3: the Folds of the Flesh is one of the wildest
Speaker 3: endings to like a Giallo film. I've seen so but
Speaker 3: this one. I'd not familiar with this film, but it
Speaker 3: sounds kind of interesting thing. And when you say Argentinian,
Speaker 3: I haven't seen a lot of Argentinian film. I just
Speaker 3: think Damien Rubna is pretty much all I think of
Speaker 3: at this point. So yeah, I'm adventurous. Maybe I need
Speaker 3: to get it. I don't know.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Yeah, this is one that's a must for me
Speaker 4: for sure, especially I really want to read that essay.
Speaker 4: Next up, Forbidden Game of Love from nineteen seventy five.
Speaker 4: This one says again the first English friendly release of
Speaker 4: this film. It is fully uncut and restored from the
Speaker 4: original negative. Here this is a new four K restoration
Speaker 4: from the negative. The Angel Sala, who is the Citrus
Speaker 4: Film Festival director. There is a piece on here by
Speaker 4: Angel who's doing a piece on the director. Alloyd Dela
Speaker 4: Galicia Dala Glacia has got releases from Severn and I
Speaker 4: think one of the Vinegar Syndrome partner labels in the
Speaker 4: last couple of years. A lot of stuff sort of
Speaker 4: getting rediscovered in this filmography and so so what I've
Speaker 4: seen from this director, I've truly enjoyed again twenty four
Speaker 4: page booklet and Ismaeil Fernandez is the one that's writing
Speaker 4: in this one. And to me, yeah, this is like
Speaker 4: the perfect sort of Mono Macabro type of releases.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm not familiar with this one.
Speaker 2: Same Josh says.
Speaker 4: The thing I love about Mona Micabro is that about
Speaker 4: ninety percent of their releases are films I've never seen
Speaker 4: or heard of. And I feel the same way about
Speaker 4: Deaf Crocodile. Both of those groups are the curation is
Speaker 4: off the wall, just perfect for my taste and discovery
Speaker 4: because again, like you know, we were talking about vinegar
Speaker 4: syndrome earlier, a lot of stuff that VS is sort
Speaker 4: of leaning heavily on now I've seen at some point
Speaker 4: I'd much rather be be, you know, uncovering gems like
Speaker 4: this that I never heard of.
Speaker 2: And then we got a question.
Speaker 4: Silent Manawal says, Ryan, you said these are only limited
Speaker 4: to a thousand. Yes, but they will likely still get
Speaker 4: a standard later, so don't don't feel pressured to buy
Speaker 4: the limited necessarily. I just if you're one that is
Speaker 4: going to get the limited, you might want to get
Speaker 4: it earlier than later, and it will still like the
Speaker 4: If you're going to buy all three, they do a
Speaker 4: bundle discount and you get I think a couple bucks
Speaker 4: off of the price and a couple bucks off of shipping.
Speaker 2: So if you really want all three, it is kind
Speaker 2: of a good way to get all of them.
Speaker 4: And then Reservoir says I blind by every Mondo Macabro title.
Speaker 2: They've earned it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I honestly say, exactly the same. And their last one,
Speaker 4: which is one that I may be the most excited about,
Speaker 4: this is called I Hate My Body from nineteen seventy four,
Speaker 4: and this is sort of continuing their gender questioning releases
Speaker 4: that they've been putting out recently, and I just wanted
Speaker 4: to read this one because it sounds so interesting. Lectrois
Speaker 4: businessman Ernest and Peter go out for an evening of
Speaker 4: fund with two girls from work. There's a lot of
Speaker 4: drinking and dancing and more than a little suggestion of
Speaker 4: frolics to follow, particularly when Ernest has the idea that
Speaker 4: they swap partners. The two men set off in their cars,
Speaker 4: but their rest active dates. Ernest, in no fit state
Speaker 4: to be behind the wheel, roars with laughter as they
Speaker 4: speed off into the dark night. Momentarily distracted as he
Speaker 4: glances at his attractive passenger, he loses control of the car.
Speaker 4: They crash into the side of a bridge and the
Speaker 4: vehicle burst into flames. The bodies are rushed to the
Speaker 4: nearest hospital, where both Ernest and his passenger are certified
Speaker 4: dead on arrival. However, the hospital surgeon, doctor Adolph Berger,
Speaker 4: a former medic in a Nazi death camp, discovers that
Speaker 4: Ernest's brain is still intact. Encouraged by his female assistant,
Speaker 4: Lydia Berger, decides to try out his long cherished experiment
Speaker 4: transplanting a brain from one body to another. However, the
Speaker 4: only body available is that of a young woman, Leida Schmidt,
Speaker 4: also technically dead in the hospital.
Speaker 2: Morgue.
Speaker 4: Casting aside all scruples, Berger begins the operation. This outrageous film,
Speaker 4: which now has much contemporary relevance, was directed by horror
Speaker 4: specialist Leon Klimowsky, the man behind Paul Nashy's Werewolf and
Speaker 4: the Vampire Woman and numerous other Spanish Fanca TAYR classics.
Speaker 4: Immediately on that last part, I am super in brand
Speaker 4: new four K restoration from the OCN. This is the
Speaker 4: one where they got the dubs, so not that earlier.
Speaker 4: One choice of the English dub or the original Spanish
Speaker 4: with optional English subtitles. We got an interview with the
Speaker 4: actor Manuel de Place. We got an interview with Spanish
Speaker 4: film expert Angel Sala again about the film itself, and
Speaker 4: then an audio commentary by Rod Barnett and Troy Gwyn
Speaker 4: of the nash cast. And then another twenty four page
Speaker 4: booklet by Ishmael Fernandez. Yeah, this sounds really interesting.
Speaker 3: It sounds wild, and I'm gonna bat make it a
Speaker 3: prediction that the first thing this dude does when he
Speaker 3: wakes up in a woman's body is played with his
Speaker 3: new titties.
Speaker 2: It would not surprise me in the leg It.
Speaker 3: Has to like, I feel like that's what they would do.
Speaker 4: Siboner is saying Adolf Berger was the rejected McDonald's character
Speaker 4: back in the seventies. I heard that was the fifties.
Speaker 4: But anyways, let's keep going. So yeah, that's Monta macab
Speaker 4: next Thursday, nine am Pacific twelve Eastern in the morning.
Speaker 4: Check that out if you are into Monto Macabre. Limited
Speaker 4: to one thousand for all three Imprint last week during
Speaker 4: this show, they don't give me any rest. Of course,
Speaker 4: brand new releases for their Imprint Asia line September twenty fourth.
Speaker 4: All of these are coming on Blu Ray out of
Speaker 4: Australia and they're probably can be a little expensive.
Speaker 2: The first one is.
Speaker 4: Father Knows Best, a trilogy directed by the one and
Speaker 4: only Ang Lee. This includes Pushing Hands from nineteen ninety one,
Speaker 4: The Wedding Banquet from nineteen ninety three, and Eat Drink
Speaker 4: Man Woman from nineteen ninety four. There are new interviews
Speaker 4: on here. There is some archival extras. There is kind
Speaker 4: of a lot on these three films, and if you
Speaker 4: are into ang Lee, this looks like a pretty great release.
Speaker 4: Very very happy to see that they're doing something as
Speaker 4: exhaustive as this. Looks like a really fun, fun title.
Speaker 3: Actually, yeah, I don't know anything about these films.
Speaker 4: I don't either, but Angley is really great and I
Speaker 4: definitely want to see these Agreed.
Speaker 3: Agreed.
Speaker 4: Brian says, Pushing Hands is very worth watching. Nice, the
Speaker 4: original wedding Banquet is great. Haven't seen the other two?
Speaker 4: An Angley box set, says Craig, Yeah, check it out, Craig, U,
Speaker 4: Let's go to our next one. This is the Autumns
Speaker 4: Sorry and Autumns Tale from nineteen eighty seven. This is
Speaker 4: Imprint Asia number twenty nine. This is limited to fifteen
Speaker 4: hundred copies. This has a new audio commentary by Walt
Speaker 4: Cha who is on all of the Deaf Crocodile releases
Speaker 4: writing in their booklets.
Speaker 2: Great writer, great critic.
Speaker 4: Gonna be an incredible, incredible commentary, guaranteed a couple interviews
Speaker 4: on here. But not a title that I have seen before,
Speaker 4: although I think this was released by eighty eight Films
Speaker 4: if I'm remembering right.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I haven't seen this either, but that that dude
Speaker 3: looks very awkward standing the way he is.
Speaker 2: Yeah, a little bit. Yeah.
Speaker 4: An Autumn's Tale was released by them over in the UK. Yeah,
Speaker 4: last last July.
Speaker 3: Funny enough, the not the greatest cover art but no,
Speaker 3: but that's probably the original poster.
Speaker 4: Sadly going to the last one from them. This is
Speaker 4: nineteen ninety four's picture Bride. This is the first time
Speaker 4: this has been on Blu Ray anywhere in the world.
Speaker 4: This is it was nominated for an Independent Spirit Award
Speaker 4: and this has the big draw for this one. Tashiro
Speaker 4: Mafune in his final film role in nineteen ninety four.
Speaker 4: That is pretty damn rad. We got a new visual
Speaker 4: essay on this by Walt Shaw, so he's on two
Speaker 4: of this month's releases. A new interview with the professor
Speaker 4: Disa Kmao, and then there is some archival extras on here,
Speaker 4: including an audio commentary from the from the director.
Speaker 2: Yeah to shear Muffune, you into Muffune at all.
Speaker 3: Not familiar whatsoever, but this artwork looks better.
Speaker 2: Kurisawa's right hand man and.
Speaker 3: Most of his folks okay, perfect.
Speaker 4: Let's keep going, man. Maybe one of the most controversial
Speaker 4: announcements of the week, except I've posted about a nightmare
Speaker 4: on Elm Street, so probably not.
Speaker 2: But uh.
Speaker 4: September twenty third US release from Decal of Watch the
Speaker 4: Skies from twenty twenty two. Now why is this controversial?
Speaker 4: So listen to this second paragraph. Watch the Skies is
Speaker 4: the world's first theatrical full length feature to use AI
Speaker 4: for immersive dubbing, making the characters appear to be speaking
Speaker 4: English even though the original film was shot in Swedish.
Speaker 4: This pioneering approach, made by AI company Flawless, seamlessly integrates
Speaker 4: the voices of the dubbing actors, so it's not using
Speaker 4: somebody else's voices, it's their own voices into the film,
Speaker 4: ensuring perfect lip sync and eliminating the need for subtitles altogether.
Speaker 4: Note one, I want subtitles? Why are we eliminating those?
Speaker 4: Those are a good thing, not a bad thing. The
Speaker 4: film is dubbed by the original Swedish cast speaking English,
Speaker 4: with full endorsement from SAG That's Note two. This is
Speaker 4: a problem. No thank you, Flawless is leading the charge
Speaker 4: in this is Note three? How is this a sentence?
Speaker 4: Ethical AI filmmaking? Pushing boundaries and creating a new era
Speaker 4: of cinematic storytelling. This is one that I posted the
Speaker 4: trailer for this, and I want everybody to open the
Speaker 4: trailer if you can here. I'll even post the link
Speaker 4: in the chat. Open this in a new tab, just
Speaker 4: so you can get pissed off with me after the show.
Speaker 4: This is a wild trailer. So they are saying they
Speaker 4: didn't use the word flawsley, what does it say ensuring
Speaker 4: perfect lip sync?
Speaker 2: You know what?
Speaker 4: That might be true, but the crazy thing you watch
Speaker 4: this trailer, some of their lips look like they're from a.
Speaker 2: Looney Tunes cartoon.
Speaker 3: Don't know.
Speaker 2: This does not look good to me. This is a
Speaker 2: hard no.
Speaker 4: I'm also pissed because they did not give any details
Speaker 4: on if it includes the original version. It's like they
Speaker 4: only listed, Hey, we are dubbing this with our own voices.
Speaker 4: Be proud of us. This is a crazy thing to do,
Speaker 4: especially because this got a short festival run in the
Speaker 4: original Swedish in the US already. Why are we going
Speaker 4: through the trouble of doing this?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't. It's one of those things where it's
Speaker 3: like we can do it, so we're gonna do it.
Speaker 3: Didn't think whether it was a good idea or not.
Speaker 3: And I mean that's just AI in general, I think.
Speaker 4: But yeah, there there is so much problematic in this announcement.
Speaker 4: For me, I agree with Colton here. Don't get rid
Speaker 4: of subtitles. There are many of us that are not
Speaker 4: even necessarily hard of hearing itself.
Speaker 2: But many of us are, first of all.
Speaker 4: But second, there are a lot of us that just
Speaker 4: can't capture it all by listening and watching the visuals
Speaker 4: at the same time. And so we want a way
Speaker 4: to back up the dialogue in case you miss a
Speaker 4: part of a line. And this is just a bad
Speaker 4: idea through and through. I don't know if this is
Speaker 4: just an I don't know, like a try to grab
Speaker 4: the dumb American audience essentially of hey, we don't go
Speaker 4: to foreign films, Well you don't have to.
Speaker 2: This is in English.
Speaker 4: If that's the case, Like just overall, boo, this is
Speaker 4: a bad, bad move.
Speaker 3: Not into it. I will I'm not gonna watch it.
Speaker 2: And that's the shitty part. I've heard. This is really good.
Speaker 4: Even Josh just said he saw it on the festival
Speaker 4: circuit and it was good in the original Swedish.
Speaker 2: And we just don't need.
Speaker 3: This, So will it be available in Swedish anywhere in
Speaker 3: the US. Will you be able to stream it somewhere?
Speaker 4: I'm not sure. They've not announced if the original will
Speaker 4: be available. The worst thing is this is available in
Speaker 4: the original Swedish overseas without English subtitles, So if you
Speaker 4: want the original and they don't do it here, you're
Speaker 4: probably fucked. Yeah, yeah, and that sucks. Carrying on, we
Speaker 4: are getting a release soon from a Bushel Productions, which
Speaker 4: is just the production company of the director for this.
Speaker 4: This is Cheech and Chong's last movie from twenty twenty four.
Speaker 4: I am shocked that this is getting not only a
Speaker 4: four K release, but a four K steel book and
Speaker 4: we're rolling it out for those that don't know, this
Speaker 4: is a documentary of sorts, just about the Cheech and
Speaker 4: Chong story that they made just in the last few years.
Speaker 4: Did not get a huge rollout. I think most people,
Speaker 4: even the ones that love Cheech and Chong, did not
Speaker 4: get a chance to see this yet. So here we are.
Speaker 4: Were you ever a bit Cheech and Shaw guy?
Speaker 3: I haven't seen a single movie. I mean, I could
Speaker 3: enjoy it potentially, but I don't know. It's It's never
Speaker 3: really appealed to me that much. It seems a little
Speaker 3: too dumb for what I'm into. I don't know.
Speaker 4: On top of the appealing there we were just talking
Speaker 4: about a the art on this is very clearly really
Speaker 4: bad AI pretty much across the board, on the front
Speaker 4: and the back.
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is also not for me, not a fan.
Speaker 4: Back to back November third, over in the UK, they
Speaker 4: are putting out a four K steel book of the
Speaker 4: Bride of Frankenstein. They shouldn't be surprising. They at universalos
Speaker 4: milk to these for the last almost one hundred years
Speaker 4: and they will continue to forever. But to me, this
Speaker 4: might be the worst art I've seen for a Universal
Speaker 4: Monsters release ever. I'm sure some people like this, but
Speaker 4: to me, this is just the laziest, laziest cover art
Speaker 4: to just slap her on there and take out all
Speaker 4: of the heart and soul of this Universal Monsters.
Speaker 2: Ye are you into those?
Speaker 3: I actually have not seen any of them. I have
Speaker 3: the whole box set, the Blu ray box set, and
Speaker 3: I keep meaning to watch through them like some October
Speaker 3: or something, and I just haven't gotten there. There's just
Speaker 3: too many movies.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that is unfortunately the truth. I love this comment
Speaker 4: from Chris, so I wanted to point this out. I
Speaker 4: didn't see this wording on the last announcement. It said
Speaker 4: includes never before seen features on a streaming movie's physical
Speaker 4: media release. So yeah, of course nobody has seen them.
Speaker 4: It's a brand new film and this is the first
Speaker 4: release that isn't on a shitty streaming service. Oh man,
Speaker 4: that's funny, And of course I have to do that
Speaker 4: at least once a week.
Speaker 2: Next up.
Speaker 4: I believe this was announced tech comicm this last weekend,
Speaker 4: September twenty third. We are getting a four K blu
Speaker 4: ray and DVD release here in the US from Warner
Speaker 4: Brothers of as Tech Batman Clash of Empires from just
Speaker 4: this year. Now, to me, this sounds really cool, and
Speaker 4: I really like this cover art. I gotta admit I
Speaker 4: watched the trailer and I'm not stoked on the animation
Speaker 4: style on it, but I do kind of want to
Speaker 4: support this. DC is usually really great with animated stuff
Speaker 4: that they're doing. This says it's the bold reimagining of
Speaker 4: the Batman legend unfolds within the vibrant and fierce culture
Speaker 4: of the sixteenth century Meso America. In the time of
Speaker 4: the Aztec Empire. Tragedy strikes Yohuali Codal, a young Aztec boy,
Speaker 4: when his father is murdered by Spanish conquistadors. To Warren
Speaker 4: King Maktazumana's high priest Yoka of imminent danger, Johuali escapes
Speaker 4: to I'm not gonna say this word, right, Tanatchien. That's
Speaker 4: probably completely wrong there. He trains at the temple of
Speaker 4: the bat god Zenekian. That's also wrong, with his developing
Speaker 4: equipment and weaponry to confront the Spanish invasion and avenge
Speaker 4: his father's death. Along the way, he encounters key figures
Speaker 4: like the fierce Jaguar woman and the enchanting forest Ivy.
Speaker 2: I like this idea overall.
Speaker 4: There's some behind the scenes stuff on here, some interviews
Speaker 4: with some of the screenwriters and stuff. Yeah, DC Animation,
Speaker 4: Are you into any of that stuff?
Speaker 3: Well, I think that word may have been tenactitlan.
Speaker 2: Most likely potent. Yeah, but I do like.
Speaker 3: Some animated stuff here and there. The as tech aspect
Speaker 3: of it sounds very interesting to me. As far as
Speaker 3: the animation style thing goes. I was not a fan
Speaker 3: of the animation style of Predator Killer of Killers. But
Speaker 3: I ended up really liking that film, Like I just
Speaker 3: got used to it after a certain amount of time,
Speaker 3: So don't let it hold you back.
Speaker 4: The big thing I want to point out here I
Speaker 4: love that DC did this because what they are burying
Speaker 4: the lead with here is they went and hired all
Speaker 4: Mexican animators to make some thing for Mexican animation. I
Speaker 4: believe this is the entire studio that did this is
Speaker 4: all for Mexico. Love that they did this, Love that
Speaker 4: they did something so unique and used styles in a
Speaker 4: way that was just really great.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I am super curious to check this out, but I
Speaker 4: will wait for reviews for sure. I don't post a
Speaker 4: lot of the music ones, but this one was so
Speaker 4: damn personal to me I had to. September twelfth, We're
Speaker 4: getting a blu ray here in the US from Warner
Speaker 4: Music of Tom Petty, Somewhere You Feel Free The Making
Speaker 4: of Wildflowers from twenty twenty one. This is so cool
Speaker 4: because in early twenty twenty a collection of sixteen millimeter
Speaker 4: film was discovered in Petty's archive, including never before seen
Speaker 4: footage capturing during the making of Wildflowers. I was huge,
Speaker 4: huge into Tom Petty growing up. He was the first
Speaker 4: person I ever saw on concert when I was like
Speaker 4: three years old. I have pretty much everything Tom Petty
Speaker 4: I could love. And this is just so rad that
Speaker 4: we're getting something like this. Yeah, we'll be checking this out.
Speaker 2: This poster is hilarious.
Speaker 4: In October, we are getting a Blu Ray release in
Speaker 4: the US from Keno and Dark Force joining forces on
Speaker 4: this one of the X from nineteen ninety six.
Speaker 2: This is.
Speaker 4: Directed by Mark Lester, who did Class of nineteen eighty
Speaker 4: four and Firestarter Commando Showdown a Little Tokyo. They make
Speaker 4: sure that they highlight that the art is not final here,
Speaker 4: but this is the theatrical poster, which if that is
Speaker 4: telling you of the quality of this movie, there you go.
Speaker 3: It reminds me of the CGI in Wish Master, which
Speaker 3: I love wish Master, but that part where like I
Speaker 3: think it's Kane Hodter's character like flies apart, like it
Speaker 3: looks like that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is bad.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't like that scene. I remember Ronnie saying,
Speaker 4: I hope you'll consider posting more music Blu Ray news.
Speaker 4: I do for at least when it's visual. The hard
Speaker 4: part is a lot of these classic albums are getting
Speaker 4: Blu ray releases right now to get the highest fidelity
Speaker 4: of audio, so we'll see.
Speaker 2: I'll do my best, Runnie, I promise.
Speaker 4: We talked about this show fairly recently when the first
Speaker 4: one got announced, so we won't go too deep into this,
Speaker 4: but September one, Old Gold Media over in the UK
Speaker 4: is releasing the Sweeney series two. Are you Are you
Speaker 4: super into like British shows?
Speaker 3: I used to watch a bunch with my parents when
Speaker 3: I was younger, and my mom is like all about
Speaker 3: britt Box and a Quorn TV and stuff like that,
Speaker 3: so this is probably something she would be interested in.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I just I think that it's incredible that they're genuinely
Speaker 4: restoring all of these episodes.
Speaker 2: That is really cool.
Speaker 4: I mean this is yeah, this is from nineteen seventy five,
Speaker 4: so a fifty year old show that doesn't have like
Speaker 4: any pop culture relevance right now unless you're from that generation.
Speaker 4: It's really cool that they're willing to go back there
Speaker 4: and do that. There is all kinds of extras on here, interviews, introductions, commentaries,
Speaker 4: but solid looking set.
Speaker 2: If you're into British TV, I.
Speaker 3: Am going to take a bathroom break. I'll be right back.
Speaker 4: Please do. I'll know you got it. I'm gonna keep
Speaker 4: going with a couple of these. September twenty ninth, we
Speaker 4: are getting a four K only release in the UK
Speaker 4: from screen Bound Pictures of the Return of Swamp Thing
Speaker 4: from nineteen eighty six. This is a decent looking release
Speaker 4: compared to the US release. There is only archival stuff
Speaker 4: on here, but they do have some like paper extras
Speaker 4: if you're into those things. But the big thing here
Speaker 4: this is Heather Locklear. What is this like? Airbrushed abomination
Speaker 4: on the right in this picture art for some of
Speaker 4: these releases this week is just pure terrible, not my
Speaker 4: thing movie, but good lord, these are not great. Next
Speaker 4: up in twenty twenty six, Keno is releasing a four
Speaker 4: K of Hang Them High. This is the Eastwood film
Speaker 4: from nineteen sixty eight. Previously, this was a Shout select title.
Speaker 4: So kind of interesting that Keino pulled this one out.
Speaker 4: I don't think that Shout was ever going to renew this.
Speaker 4: I have a feeling it probably didn't sell that well
Speaker 4: for them because it was a very out of nowhere.
Speaker 4: I'm sure this will look great. Keino is kind of
Speaker 4: grabbing all of the Eastwoods that they could, and uh yeah,
Speaker 4: I'm sure this will be great and we'll find out
Speaker 4: more about this soon when we get some details. We
Speaker 4: did get art on this, and of course it happened
Speaker 4: about a day and a half after I posted this,
Speaker 4: so this is just the original poster art, but the
Speaker 4: new art is up on the fun City site, so
Speaker 4: you can go check that out now. We are getting
Speaker 4: a blu ray soon from Fun City of Goodbye Columbus
Speaker 4: from nineteen sixty nine. This slip cover is going to
Speaker 4: be exclusive to the fund City website and a diabolic DVD.
Speaker 4: As usual, this is going to have some special features
Speaker 4: on here. We got a new video interview with the
Speaker 4: composer Charles Fox, new audio commentary by friend of the
Speaker 4: channel Bill Ackerman, booklet with new essay by Jim Healy,
Speaker 4: and then they're going to be creating some new extras
Speaker 4: that will be on here. We don't even know a
Speaker 4: release date yet, This will be coming soon. Fund City
Speaker 4: is kind of just quietly killing it. Definitely gonna have
Speaker 4: Jonathan from Fun City on again here soon and we'll
Speaker 4: be asking about this and the fabulous stains, which we'll
Speaker 4: hear more about here soon. Are you into fun City
Speaker 4: Editions at all, Carlin, I.
Speaker 3: Haven't seen anything from them.
Speaker 4: They got some good titles. Definitely recommend checking them out.
Speaker 4: Weber is asking when is the announced Fun City release
Speaker 4: of Ladies and Gentlemen The Fabulous Staints coming. It has
Speaker 4: been sort of delayed that they had some work coming
Speaker 4: on it, but we never got an announcement date on
Speaker 4: it yet.
Speaker 2: So it is coming, we just don't don't know exactly when.
Speaker 4: September one, We're getting a four K release over in
Speaker 4: the UK of The Alto Knights from this year. This
Speaker 4: is starring Robert de Niro and Robert de Niro, one
Speaker 4: of multiple films this year with an actor playing multiple roles.
Speaker 4: I've heard this is terrible. I will not be buying this,
Speaker 4: but I know Craig has probably seen this or we'll
Speaker 4: be seeing it. Did you see the Auto Knights this year?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 3: And the artwork looks not great. And I don't know, like,
Speaker 3: is DeNiro doing good stuff now?
Speaker 2: I mean he did with Killers of the Flower Moon
Speaker 2: at least.
Speaker 3: I haven't seen that, but I heard great things.
Speaker 2: It's a great movie.
Speaker 4: I think that one's even sort of slept on for
Speaker 4: his Corsese movie. Craig says he needs this. Oh man,
Speaker 4: we got jokes. I prefer soprano Knights, and then I
Speaker 4: prefer Shanghai.
Speaker 2: Aaron and Adam. That was pretty good.
Speaker 4: Next up the Tom Savini Notither Living Dead, which we
Speaker 4: covered on here a couple of weeks ago. Just wanted
Speaker 4: to point out that this is getting a release in
Speaker 4: the UK, just like I speculated. This will be coming
Speaker 4: on September twenty second, which means the US release will
Speaker 4: be coming the following day, September twenty third, which is
Speaker 4: ending up being a very busy day for releases in
Speaker 4: the US. If you are into horror, September and October
Speaker 4: are going to be a troublesome time for you and
Speaker 4: your bank account.
Speaker 3: Yeah. And even though this is getting a nice look
Speaker 3: and release and it is a good movie, I bet
Speaker 3: Tom Savini is still salty.
Speaker 4: Probably even though he got his exact cut on here,
Speaker 4: which is crazy. It's just Sevinien and he's always salty.
Speaker 3: Yep.
Speaker 4: By the way, this was approved for the uncut release
Speaker 4: over in the UK, so all of the release details
Speaker 4: will be the same for here in the US and
Speaker 4: the UK, so you don't have to worry about that.
Speaker 4: I know a lot of people are worried about getting
Speaker 4: this release because it's sold very quickly on Amazon. If
Speaker 4: you see a store selling the u K release.
Speaker 2: It's the same thing. Just picked up. Man, this is
Speaker 2: so cool.
Speaker 4: So October fourteenth, cult EPEX putting out School in the
Speaker 4: Crosshairs from nineteen eighty one. This is the Nobahiko Obayashi
Speaker 4: film that is just sort of beautiful. This is the
Speaker 4: same director of house and if you've never seen this,
Speaker 4: which this was released by Third Window Films over in
Speaker 4: the UK a few years ago in a box set
Speaker 4: of all of the Katakawa films. This is a really
Speaker 4: hard to describe film and that's why the art looks
Speaker 4: like this, because it is sort of bonkers all across
Speaker 4: the film. This is a two K restoration of the movie.
Speaker 4: We got a new audio commentary by Max Robinson, new
Speaker 4: visual essay on here by Philip Jeffries that I produce.
Speaker 4: I think the visual essay on this is incredible for
Speaker 4: those that have never heard any of Philip Jeffries' visual essays.
Speaker 4: He did a really great one on the Guadaninho Suspirior
Speaker 4: release from Imprint from God, I don't know it was
Speaker 4: that last year. The before and now I don't remember,
Speaker 4: but Philip loves music, and he loves speaking about history
Speaker 4: of music primarily, and so hearing about how the nineteen eighties,
Speaker 4: like the rise of synth wave music and actual technology
Speaker 4: behind synthesizers affected everything in the world. It's an incredible essay.
Speaker 4: I really hope people appreciate it. I think it's amazing.
Speaker 4: And then another friend, Sam, who was on the show
Speaker 4: just a couple months ago, did the artwork for this
Speaker 4: and the rest of the Obiyashi titles.
Speaker 2: I hope you check it out. This is fantastic.
Speaker 4: And also there is a twenty four page reproduction of
Speaker 4: the original Japanese booklet that was put out for this
Speaker 4: movie in this release.
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is incredible. Yeah, anything you want to say
Speaker 2: about this one.
Speaker 3: When you said, the same guy who did House, I
Speaker 3: love how ridiculous House is. And once you said that,
Speaker 3: then the cover art made made sense, right, I was
Speaker 3: just like, this looks wid And then I'm just like, oh,
Speaker 3: the same dude who did House. Okay, makes sense.
Speaker 4: Well, And not only that, there are things in this
Speaker 4: that are like legitimately a send up of some of
Speaker 4: the things in the House where he's like, it's almost
Speaker 4: like an in Easter Eggue sort of situation where he's
Speaker 4: doing it for his own movie.
Speaker 2: I think people will truly appreciate this.
Speaker 4: There are like great Japanese pop stars in this that
Speaker 4: really really great singers, and there's a lot of music.
Speaker 4: Music is a big part of these part of this.
Speaker 4: And then there is an upcoming release of Too Old
Speaker 4: to Die Young that Philip Jeffries did another piece on that.
Speaker 2: I hope you can check it out.
Speaker 4: And then kind of on my selfish side, I just
Speaker 4: want to point out PHILP. Jefferies has taken a wild
Speaker 4: swing for me. He is writing a piece on American
Speaker 4: fascism for my magazine, The Physical Media Advocate, which will
Speaker 4: be coming out the next few months, and it's gonna
Speaker 4: rock your world because we've talked about what it's gonna include,
Speaker 4: and it's it's gonna go there.
Speaker 3: Well, it's not topical at all.
Speaker 2: No, no, no.
Speaker 4: I thankfully there's nothing happening that that will be looked
Speaker 4: at as inflammatory or anything.
Speaker 2: So that's great.
Speaker 3: I will say a little interesting fact about me, I
Speaker 3: like jpop music makes me the favorite artists Little Glee Monsters,
Speaker 3: pretty good, Bump of Chicken, Lisa, great of chicken yeah bump,
Speaker 3: yeah yo yo. Soob's good. There's a lot of good ones.
Speaker 4: All right, let's go to the next one, which is,
Speaker 4: of course a paramount rehashing of a title October seventh,
Speaker 4: We're getting a four K steal book of the masterpiece Clue. Now,
Speaker 4: this might be a little weird because Shout Factory already
Speaker 4: released a four K of Clue, and this will probably
Speaker 4: be the exact same disc essentially. They might they might
Speaker 4: even bungle the encoding because this paramount and they do
Speaker 4: that sometimes.
Speaker 2: But I love this. I gotta be honest. I think
Speaker 2: this is a masterpiece.
Speaker 4: And yeah, I hope people check this out if you've
Speaker 4: never seen it, because it is still very very good
Speaker 4: with an immaculate cast.
Speaker 2: How do you feel about Clue?
Speaker 3: I love it. It's a phenomenal film. I love like
Speaker 3: the multiple endings thing they do in it, and just
Speaker 3: the whole cast works together so well in the film.
Speaker 3: The story is so well put together for being based
Speaker 3: off a board game.
Speaker 2: Yep.
Speaker 3: And just like Tim Curry in it, like how that
Speaker 3: scene where he's just like running all over the place
Speaker 3: and saying like and then this happened, and this happened
Speaker 3: it's phenomenal. I do love this movie. My wife loves
Speaker 3: it too, We watch together every now and then.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's it's stupendous. I really want to point out
Speaker 4: Mozart's ghost comment here, which is the year of the
Speaker 4: steel Book. Honestly, that has been a depressing part of
Speaker 4: this week is I feel like every single announcement is
Speaker 4: just a steel book, and I know most people don't
Speaker 4: want that, which is rough. I mean, we're gonna start
Speaker 4: alienating a portion of the collectors to make a portion
Speaker 4: that will spend all of their money on steel books
Speaker 4: very happy, and that sucks at the end of the day.
Speaker 4: All right, So that is clue. Next up, Oh god,
Speaker 4: I forgot this was this week. October seventh. Paramount is
Speaker 4: releasing a on Flux on four K from two thousand
Speaker 4: and five. For the record, this movie was finished in
Speaker 4: two K and has very poor CGI. This is another
Speaker 4: one of those that I don't understand why we're putting
Speaker 4: this in four K.
Speaker 2: I get that there.
Speaker 4: Could be like a small bump in color grade if
Speaker 4: you do a really great HDR pass. This doesn't need
Speaker 4: to be on four K. The whole era from like
Speaker 4: ninety eight to twenty twelve ish is always going to
Speaker 4: be questionable and if they should be in four K,
Speaker 4: but specifically this movie, this is a bad choice.
Speaker 3: I've not seen this movie. I just remember that I
Speaker 3: saw like a clip of it where like she almost
Speaker 3: fell on some blades of grass that were like kind
Speaker 3: of alive and like super sharp about to like get
Speaker 3: her in the chant or something. It was weird.
Speaker 4: Yeah, uh yeah, Craig is exactly right because there are
Speaker 4: cry babies that are four K or die, which will
Speaker 4: also kill the physical media industry very very.
Speaker 2: Quickly if they don't stop. Hey.
Speaker 4: I put up a new interview this week with Anthony
Speaker 4: from Petrick Glyph Media. They're the ones that put out
Speaker 4: this funeral Siniestro and Triangulo de Oro double feature. This
Speaker 4: is their first and still only release. I hope you
Speaker 4: check it out. They are a very very small operation
Speaker 4: doing their best to raise enough to do a second title.
Speaker 4: And I think it's a good conversation nice in short
Speaker 4: like thirty minutes.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I listened to it. It is a very
Speaker 3: good conversation.
Speaker 2: Nice.
Speaker 4: Appreciate that I wasn't gonna do this. I was just
Speaker 4: gonna sort of quietly drop it tomorrow. But fuck it,
Speaker 4: why not? So I'm gonna tease something that's pretty big.
Speaker 4: I put up a story on Instagram and Facebook today
Speaker 4: that had a picture of Honey Shrunk the Kids that said,
Speaker 4: on Disconnected tomorrow. I am stoked that I have other
Speaker 4: than Sean Baker, probably my biggest interview yet on my
Speaker 4: channel dropping tomorrow. And I still can't believe this happened.
Speaker 4: But I have the one and only Brian Usna stopping
Speaker 4: by for like a seventy five minute conversation, and I
Speaker 4: mean I just sit back kind of quietly for most
Speaker 4: of it and let him ramble about some of the
Speaker 4: best stuff. I hope people like this, and I hope
Speaker 4: everybody watches it because it is a big deal. Yusna
Speaker 4: is one of the kindest, most generous people in the world.
Speaker 4: I don't think this is in the interview, but I
Speaker 4: brought Will on at the end, and Brian Usna is
Speaker 4: Will's favorite director of all time, literally, And this is
Speaker 4: why I wanted to bring it up, because earlier we
Speaker 4: mentioned society and it is so timely to bring it
Speaker 4: up with him coming on tomorrow. But Will is going
Speaker 4: to have Brian Usena, who offered to zoom in to
Speaker 4: Will's class this fall, and that just shows you the
Speaker 4: type of person that he was. And it is wild
Speaker 4: that just offering from a name like Brian Usena is
Speaker 4: just second nature. He is so willing to be a
Speaker 4: part of things. Yeah, I hope people like it. It's
Speaker 4: a good time, it's a fun interview. The edit was
Speaker 4: very difficult because I tried to put a lot of
Speaker 4: work into it, and I hope you like it.
Speaker 3: I'm pretty excited about that because he's phenomenal and it's
Speaker 3: always great to hear that people whose work you really
Speaker 3: appreciate are actually great people in real life.
Speaker 4: So yeah, but other than society, what are some of
Speaker 4: your favorites of him?
Speaker 3: I mean, his involvement with the re Animators obviously. Wasn't
Speaker 3: he involved with the Silent Night Deadly Knight four initiation yep,
Speaker 3: which that whole franchise is a lot of fun, except
Speaker 3: for three. Three is horrendously bad. I cannot watch that
Speaker 3: ever again. But all the other ones great time. But yeah,
Speaker 3: I think five is underrated for sure. Also, wasn't there
Speaker 3: wasn't there a movie that he was involved with, Necronomicon that, like,
Speaker 3: is there a release for this ever?
Speaker 2: Like?
Speaker 3: I tried to watch it some years ago and I
Speaker 3: couldn't find it anywhere.
Speaker 4: There is a release, it's in the UK or Germany.
Speaker 4: It's on Blu Ray, and I think it's region free,
Speaker 4: but it is if I remember. I think there's something
Speaker 4: with licensing.
Speaker 2: That it's quite likely it will never be on in
Speaker 2: the US unfortunately.
Speaker 4: Uh Jesus. Jim says, Brian is a good friend of mine.
Speaker 4: He comes over to my house to watch Blu rays.
Speaker 4: What in the world, gym that's wild?
Speaker 2: Uh oh.
Speaker 4: Josh says, there's a French Blu Ray. Is that the
Speaker 4: one I have? Is that the only Blu ray release?
Speaker 2: Josh? Huh? Interesting. Yeah.
Speaker 4: One of the other reasons I want to talk about
Speaker 4: this is tomorrow, I think, depending on the timeline of
Speaker 4: Amazon approving it, either tomorrow or Saturday. The newest issue
Speaker 4: of The Physical Media Advocate is dropping, and there's a
Speaker 4: big piece on us.
Speaker 2: Not at the end, because.
Speaker 4: Jeremy went to a Q and A with him recently
Speaker 4: and we talked about him and a couple others and yeah,
Speaker 4: it's a you're gonna enjoy it. It's a really, really
Speaker 4: great conversation. Next up, let's get into the quote biggest
Speaker 4: news of the week, which everybody makes a big deal about.
Speaker 4: September twenty third in the US. Here we are getting
Speaker 4: a standard release of A Nightmare on Elm Street four
Speaker 4: K seven film collection. The UK release is going to
Speaker 4: be the day before. It'll be on the twenty second.
Speaker 4: This is going to have the theatrical and uncut versions
Speaker 4: of a Nightmare and Elm Street and A Nightmare and Elm.
Speaker 2: Street five, the Dream Child.
Speaker 4: They're gonna have three D glasses for the portion of
Speaker 4: Freddy's Dead the Final Nightmare, and it says there will
Speaker 4: be blood curdling special features and we don't have release
Speaker 4: details on that front yet. Now, this is crazy. Everybody
Speaker 4: went nuts for this. You can pre order this still.
Speaker 4: It's available on Amazon. The steel book collection for this
Speaker 4: that we're gonna be talking about in a few minutes
Speaker 4: as well in the US seems to be out of
Speaker 4: print already, and that happened before it even technically got announced,
Speaker 4: and there was artwork for it. But we're gonna talk
Speaker 4: about the artwork in just a moment. But first, your
Speaker 4: feeling is on Imary Elm Street. How do you rank
Speaker 4: it across the other franchises, How do you feel about it.
Speaker 3: I think it's a really good franchise. I quite enjoy it.
Speaker 3: I mean it's no like Phanfasm franchise. I will say,
Speaker 3: like that's my favorite, but no, it's very strong. You know.
Speaker 3: It gets talked about up there with Friday the thirteenth
Speaker 3: for good reason. Halloween franchise not for a good reason.
Speaker 3: But I don't like this artwork, Like it looks just
Speaker 3: super lazy and just like, can't you do something kind
Speaker 3: of interesting.
Speaker 4: Historically, other than the theatrical posters, which are incredible, I've
Speaker 4: got one of them up on my wall up in
Speaker 4: the corner there. The Knightmarreen Elm Street artwork forever has
Speaker 4: been real bad and I don't understand why. It is
Speaker 4: literally the most iconic horror villain maybe.
Speaker 2: Of all time.
Speaker 4: I mean, he was a pop culture phenomenon for years
Speaker 4: and we can't get anything better than this.
Speaker 3: Drink some water from him.
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is even that. It's good.
Speaker 3: It's not great, Yeah, I know it's but yeah, the poster,
Speaker 3: the original poster art for those movies is unreal.
Speaker 2: For all of them, they're all great.
Speaker 3: They should have just taken that same art style, yeah,
Speaker 3: and applied it to this I mean, come on.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it is better than that AI art that other
Speaker 4: YouTubers went nuts for a few weeks ago.
Speaker 2: But that's not saying much.
Speaker 4: But this is what made people most excited is we
Speaker 4: got the cover art from the German site play on Pictures.
Speaker 4: They put this up on their website early, and essentially
Speaker 4: it is a steel book library collection, so those ones
Speaker 4: that we've gotten over the last few years, with like
Speaker 4: the Rambo release, the Superman release, the Avengers, there's been
Speaker 4: like twenty five of these that have gotten releases, and
Speaker 4: the library is going to be like Freddie's Sweater with
Speaker 4: the red and green and then all of the steel
Speaker 4: books of the seven films have the original poster art
Speaker 4: on there, which this is the perfect, perfect way to
Speaker 4: handle this. I think people should be happy. I think
Speaker 4: this is the best possible answer that we could have gotten.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I've got nothing to complain about this other than it
Speaker 4: really sucks to put this available for pre order and
Speaker 4: have it sell out. Yeah, if something is available for
Speaker 4: pre order, I would suggest using that as a gauge
Speaker 4: on having to make rather than saying it's limited to
Speaker 4: whatever and we're gonna just turn off the faucet.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree with that for sure, but that like,
Speaker 3: this does look great, and I it makes me consider
Speaker 3: getting it because what I have currently was their DVD
Speaker 3: library of the movies.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and that one's decent, even though it's had like
Speaker 4: the that's the one of the crappy snapper cases.
Speaker 3: Right. Yeah.
Speaker 4: The art on there, though, is its not bad. It's
Speaker 4: probably the best that we've gotten on physical media. Yeah,
Speaker 4: and I love everybody saying uh, let's see uh mozarts
Speaker 4: go says I want actual fabric on the outside of
Speaker 4: the steel locker. We're probably not going to get that.
Speaker 4: Sibner has a theory that the red and green is
Speaker 4: going to be like a c through pet slip cover
Speaker 4: around it to protect it. You'll take the sweater off
Speaker 4: to get into it, which I think.
Speaker 3: Nipples under there, like burnt burnt nipples.
Speaker 2: It'll be the dirty word art again.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that'd be great. But no hair because the fire
Speaker 3: would have taken care of that.
Speaker 2: Oh god, it'll be all flesh textured.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: So yeah, this is this is neat.
Speaker 4: At the moment when this was announced to I speculated
Speaker 4: that this was gonna be the same art worldwide, And
Speaker 4: now we know that this is the same art worldwide.
Speaker 4: We'll talk more about that in a little while. But yeah,
Speaker 4: this is rough because again you can't pre order it everywhere.
Speaker 4: It's still available in the UK, still available in France.
Speaker 4: In the US, I think you can pre order it
Speaker 4: from Brother Belisle still. Now, this is the other hard
Speaker 4: part is it's expensive. The UK version of this is
Speaker 4: the only one that comes with Blu rays with the
Speaker 4: four k's and because it's the UK release, it's two
Speaker 4: hundred and fifty dollars. The US version of this on
Speaker 4: Amazon here, which was an Amazon exclusive before it's sold
Speaker 4: out already, is only one hundred and sixty seven dollars,
Speaker 4: So it's it's a jump in price for sure. I've
Speaker 4: just spoke to see these films in four K the
Speaker 4: Blu rays looked Saying the Blu rays looked bad is
Speaker 4: probably not being insulting enough.
Speaker 3: Oh, but it's someone's favorite.
Speaker 2: It's not somebody's favorite restoration.
Speaker 4: I will say that it's somebody's favorite movie, and that's
Speaker 4: why it deserves this respect, and I'm glad that getting it.
Speaker 2: So we shall see.
Speaker 4: And Stan says, only to be quite honest, seven movies
Speaker 4: from a studio in four K and steelbooks for one
Speaker 4: hundred and sixty seven dollars in twenty twenty five. That's
Speaker 4: that's a pretty decent deal. I mean we're talking to
Speaker 4: like one Disney movie in a sealbook that's in four
Speaker 4: K is costing like fifty right now. So to me, like,
Speaker 4: I don't know if that makes me cynical or whatever,
Speaker 4: I don't think that is a terrible price for on
Speaker 4: release day seven steel books in a steel library. Yeah,
Speaker 4: all right, speaking of steel books, it is the year
Speaker 4: the Steal Book, like we said earlier, and September twenty third,
Speaker 4: there's a Blu Ray Steal book coming for Chucky the
Speaker 4: complete series.
Speaker 2: Did you watch any of the show?
Speaker 3: Yeah, the first two seasons. I did. Actually it took
Speaker 3: up a large part of my time when I was
Speaker 3: quarantined with COVID, and yeah, I really enjoyed that, really
Speaker 3: kept me going that in twitch.
Speaker 2: Nice.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but it's I will say also, like franchise wise,
Speaker 3: the Chucky franchise is one of the top franchises I
Speaker 3: feel like quality wise, because it's been very quality all
Speaker 3: the way throughout pretty much.
Speaker 4: On top of that, it is literally the same creator
Speaker 4: the entire time, which kind of does a lot for
Speaker 4: the quality.
Speaker 3: Well, and same with Phantasm, well except for the very
Speaker 3: last film, but he was kind of consulted on that one.
Speaker 3: But yeah, like when you can keep people involved, I
Speaker 3: think Tremors is the same way as well. That franchise,
Speaker 3: same people involved.
Speaker 2: To a degree. I think at least one or two
Speaker 2: are always.
Speaker 3: Like the writers. I think we're involved all the way through.
Speaker 3: But that's underrated. That's a very underrated franchise, Tremors.
Speaker 4: It's one of my favorites, even the ones, the last
Speaker 4: three that are just CGI, it's still so much fun.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so much fun.
Speaker 3: Did you see the TV show?
Speaker 4: I have seen one episode of it and I've never
Speaker 4: got around the whole thing.
Speaker 3: Need to. You can still buy the whole season on
Speaker 3: DVD through Best Buys website.
Speaker 2: I did not know the best buy part. Interesting.
Speaker 4: Yeah, lots of comments on the Chucky thing, Ronnie saying
Speaker 4: really enjoyed the Chucky series. Stinks that it got canceled.
Speaker 4: It deserved a fourth season. Now, Mancini has said he's
Speaker 4: not done. He does plan on continuing this, whether it
Speaker 4: is another season or another film. He's saying, yes, this
Speaker 4: ended on a cliffhanger, but it's not done yet, there
Speaker 4: will be something to wrap it.
Speaker 2: Up, so look forward to that. It's Mancini. He's probably
Speaker 2: never gonna stop at this point.
Speaker 4: Yeah, let's see. Chucky is so wild. It took huge
Speaker 4: swings and I loved it. I gotta be honest, I've
Speaker 4: still not seen any of the show I need to.
Speaker 4: These are for anybody that bought the series or the
Speaker 4: seasons as they came out. These a gonna be the
Speaker 4: same discs. There's not anything new or exclusive. This is
Speaker 4: mostly just getting people to buy the entire series, which
Speaker 4: they will because it's a steal book. And as we
Speaker 4: just stated, steel Book fans by everything. Oh gosh, Josh,
Speaker 4: you were so right, Josh says, the amount of weirdo
Speaker 4: right wing hate for the series is a bummer.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I got one of the most hateful dms that I've
Speaker 4: gotten ever for Disconnected this week. Literally somebody said the
Speaker 4: words seeg Kile and sent me two pictures of eight balls, which,
Speaker 4: if you are familiar with hateful rhetoric, you know what
Speaker 4: that means. But Jesus Christ, it was unhinged for sure.
Speaker 4: Next up another steel Book September twenty third, we are
Speaker 4: getting from Warner Brothers. A four K steel book and
Speaker 4: a standard, which I gotta be honest, I think the
Speaker 4: steel book for this is quite clever and I liked
Speaker 4: that they did it, but I probably can just do
Speaker 4: it with the standard. But we're getting The Corpse Bride
Speaker 4: from two thousand and five, really wonderful movie from Tim Burton,
Speaker 4: which I love stuff like this. No new extras on here,
Speaker 4: but great, great looking animation. I'm sure this is going
Speaker 4: to beautiful in four K. And again I think it's
Speaker 4: really cool how they did this. You take the little
Speaker 4: slip cover off and it just leaves the Bride on
Speaker 4: the cover.
Speaker 2: I like that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that looks phenomenal. We need more creative stuff like that, Like,
Speaker 3: do more of that stuff?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Cool, that's a good movie too.
Speaker 4: I'm fine with these. It's the super lazy steel books
Speaker 4: that pissed me off. Is something like this. I'm all
Speaker 4: about it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, all right.
Speaker 4: So after that, we got just for fun another new
Speaker 4: four K steel book, a Beetlejuice. Beetle Juice from last
Speaker 4: year coming on it yet again, the most popular date
Speaker 4: of the fall, September twenty third. Nothing new on this.
Speaker 4: I think they're just trying to capitalize on the Tim
Speaker 4: Burton Love and the Jena Ortega Love with Wednesday coming back,
Speaker 4: and this movie did well for them. And the first
Speaker 4: steel Book wasn't that great looking, Not that this one
Speaker 4: is beautiful or anything, but yeah, this is already the
Speaker 4: second steel book for this film that came out last year.
Speaker 3: It was an ok movie, like, yeah, nothing great, it
Speaker 3: was okay.
Speaker 2: Yeah, aggressively fine like Fantastic four.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, it's a good way to put it.
Speaker 2: Nice. Josh has a corpse right, theatrical poster in his classroom.
Speaker 2: That's great. It's a good movie. Very good movie. Uh Okay.
Speaker 4: So there were some people speculating on this when we
Speaker 4: got some answers on yet again, the most popular date
Speaker 4: in the world, September twenty third, we are getting standard
Speaker 4: four K releases of the entire Sean Connery run of
Speaker 4: James Bond. This is one that just got one of
Speaker 4: those steel book library collections that we were just talking about.
Speaker 4: It also got a standard of the entire run all
Speaker 4: at once. That wasn't a steel book. But now if
Speaker 4: you only like one or two of these, which some
Speaker 4: people do, now you can pick and choose which ones
Speaker 4: you want, but they're all coming in four k all
Speaker 4: on their own and uh, yeah, are you a Bond guy, Carly?
Speaker 3: Yes, Actually, my wife and I do James Bond January
Speaker 3: every January, where we watch as many as movies through
Speaker 3: the month as we can and then cut it off
Speaker 3: at the end of the month. But it usually ends
Speaker 3: up being like four or five. But I had gotten
Speaker 3: the Blu rays set, and I mean, how much better
Speaker 3: is it gonna look on four K honestly, you.
Speaker 2: Know, and probably a lot.
Speaker 3: Actually that artwork looks terrible though, like come on, I.
Speaker 4: Mean it's kind of pulpy. I don't hate these. I
Speaker 4: think that they probably could have done at least some
Speaker 4: splash of actual art with the text. But other than that,
Speaker 4: I don't hate these.
Speaker 3: I will say the Pierce brosen As much as I
Speaker 3: like Pierce Brosnan, the Pierce brosenan James Bonds not fun.
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, Gary says, I love that artwork.
Speaker 2: People said it was lazy, but they don't get graphic design.
Speaker 4: I don't think it's bad. I would I don't know.
Speaker 4: I just like a little splash of art with it.
Speaker 4: At least it does feel sort of like the novels
Speaker 4: that these are based off of.
Speaker 2: The old infleming pulp books.
Speaker 4: So next up, let's go to a four K release
Speaker 4: over in the UK from Studio Canal of Diva. This
Speaker 4: is also getting a Blu Ray release both of these
Speaker 4: on October six. This is from nineteen eighty one. This
Speaker 4: is supposedly a super stylish film that I have never seen.
Speaker 4: This is a brand new four K restoration produced from
Speaker 4: the thirty five millimeter negative and the sound negatives as well,
Speaker 4: scanned in four K by Transperfect Media. The image was
Speaker 4: then digitally graded and cleaned to remove imperfections from the
Speaker 4: original elements. This project was carried out by the Studio
Speaker 4: Canal team Sophie Boyer and Jean Pierre Boynette restoration and
Speaker 4: digitization with the support of the CNC. I only wanted
Speaker 4: to say that because I have to say I love
Speaker 4: when companies are transparent like this about the restorations. We
Speaker 4: have so many places that are just four K scan
Speaker 4: of the best surviving elements. Okay, of what I mean,
Speaker 4: was that plucked from somebody's attic and it was a
Speaker 4: twelfth generation inner negative or something like, Let's talk about
Speaker 4: what it is and find out. Let's be completely honest
Speaker 4: and transparent if we can This has some extras on it.
Speaker 4: We got Blue as Diva, Memories of a cult film
Speaker 4: Diva about the film by Dennis parent And this is
Speaker 4: a French film with English subtitles, and I feel like
Speaker 4: I need to see this.
Speaker 2: Everybody seems to love it, interestingly.
Speaker 4: Also from Studio Canal on four K in the UK
Speaker 4: on October sixth is Baby Blood from nineteen ninety.
Speaker 2: This is one that was released previously by Keno here
Speaker 2: in the States.
Speaker 4: This has a new featurette on here called The Concepts
Speaker 4: behind French Horror baby Blood, and that is by Kim Newman,
Speaker 4: and it's Kim Newman's birthday.
Speaker 2: Happy Birthday, Kim Newman.
Speaker 4: All of the extras that were on the Keuno release
Speaker 4: are ported over, and that includes all kinds of stuff
Speaker 4: that we're I believe not on the Keuno release as well,
Speaker 4: including the Lee Gambon and Jerrick Kahan commentary Glad that
Speaker 4: is on there. Again, Lee Gamma deserves to be remembered
Speaker 4: on every release.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna attempt to make a Will Dodson joke on
Speaker 3: that one, do it. You know, babies shouldn't really be
Speaker 3: joining gangs.
Speaker 4: That is the most Will Doddson joke by somebody not
Speaker 4: named Will Dodson that I've ever heard maybe, and I
Speaker 4: love it.
Speaker 2: I will.
Speaker 4: If you are listening later, please let me know, because yeah,
Speaker 4: that is going to be dots and approved. Also over
Speaker 4: in the UK on August eighteenth, which is right around
Speaker 4: the corner, Cult Films is releasing one Deadly Summer from
Speaker 4: nineteen eighty three. This is an Isabella Johnny film that
Speaker 4: supposedly great, another one that I've not seen. There are
Speaker 4: some decent archival extras on here, new two K source
Speaker 4: elements restored for the sixteen to nine version, and some
Speaker 4: new and improved English subtitles. But love Isabella Johnny. She's amazing.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll I would see anything she's in. Just based
Speaker 3: off of Possession.
Speaker 4: And Adam says, this is a very steamy movie, just
Speaker 4: warning you, just warning that means I have to buy it.
Speaker 3: Oh well, I'm watching adult titles now because of Ryan
Speaker 3: and Celeste.
Speaker 2: So so proud by the way.
Speaker 3: Probably.
Speaker 4: And yeah, Ronnie, I completely agree. The title on the
Speaker 4: spine facing the wrong way on these films drives me.
Speaker 3: It's yeah yeah.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 4: Next up, the first of two times that we were
Speaker 4: talking about this tonight, August twenty fifth, Fabulous Films on
Speaker 4: the UK is releasing Night Gallery, the Complete Series. This
Speaker 4: is going to be essentially the Kenolber releases for another territory.
Speaker 4: Have you ever seen any the Night Gallery episodes?
Speaker 3: I haven't, but I'm down to try.
Speaker 2: It's a very good series.
Speaker 4: The hard part is you're inevitably going to compare it
Speaker 4: to Twilight Zone and it's no Twilight Zone. It was
Speaker 4: never going to be, but it's very good. There are
Speaker 4: some very special standout episodes. Cool next one of my
Speaker 4: most exciting releases for this week, October seventh, we are
Speaker 4: getting a Blu ray and DVD release from Warner Brothers
Speaker 4: of Peanuts, the seventy fifth Anniversary Ultimate TV Specials Collection,
Speaker 4: covering from nineteen sixty five to twenty eleven. This is
Speaker 4: going to have five decades of the beloved Peanuts TV specials.
Speaker 4: There's going to be forty of the forty five total specials.
Speaker 4: They will never likely be able to get all of them. Unfortunately,
Speaker 4: they did one on the Super Bowl and the NFL
Speaker 4: is never going to allow that to be licensed because
Speaker 4: they're assholes. But I have to have this, I mean,
Speaker 4: just like my Muppets tattoo, I have a Peanuts tattoo. Oh,
Speaker 4: this is a must for me. Are you a Peanuts fan?
Speaker 2: You know?
Speaker 3: I watch them as a kid. It didn't really like
Speaker 3: resonate with me so much that I like care to
Speaker 3: watch it nowadays. But I hope that tattoo you have
Speaker 3: is kind of like over your belly button, like the
Speaker 3: thug life type tattoo.
Speaker 4: Now I'm regretting that it's not said, yeah, it's on
Speaker 4: my leg, but it is very sentimental. My wife calls
Speaker 4: me Snoopy and I call her woodstock.
Speaker 3: Oh, that's cute.
Speaker 4: Next up from Viz Media here in the US, we
Speaker 4: are getting Castlevania the Complete series. This is the Netflix
Speaker 4: anime show, which is somebody that has not watched a
Speaker 4: lot of anime. I watched most of the first season
Speaker 4: of this, and I gotta say, the animation in this
Speaker 4: is fucking incredible. Not necessarily my style of storytelling, but
Speaker 4: I could see myself like Stockholm syndrom ing into loving this.
Speaker 4: It sounds like a really cool release too. It's got
Speaker 4: a seventy two page booklet, it has window clings, it
Speaker 4: has tarot cards, it has a wigia board, it has
Speaker 4: art gallery storyboards, trailers on the discs, some voice actor interviews,
Speaker 4: production animatics. This is a really fun style release for
Speaker 4: something like this. Yeah, looks great. I will say it's
Speaker 4: a little expensive for what it is. It's like one
Speaker 4: hundred and sixty five dollars on Amazon right now. I
Speaker 4: see that going down a little bit, but it probably
Speaker 4: ends up around one forty ish, which is better but
Speaker 4: still still a little high. Although it's a Netflix streaming
Speaker 4: show coming to physical media, and that's pretty great.
Speaker 3: I mean, you're either getting this or you're getting The
Speaker 3: Nightmare in Elm Street Box.
Speaker 2: That's true.
Speaker 3: That strame amount, so that is true. It is wild
Speaker 3: how much they are throwing into this that I would
Speaker 3: not expect that. But I did watch some of the
Speaker 3: Castlevania show and I thought it was pretty good. I
Speaker 3: just kind of got distracted and didn't go back.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I always meant to finish that first season, and
Speaker 4: now I gotta be honest, I probably won't ever. We
Speaker 4: got some release details on twenty eight years later. This
Speaker 4: is all coming on the most famous release date of
Speaker 4: the fall, September twenty third, four K steelbook and standard.
Speaker 4: We've got a Blu ray and DVD release, all coming
Speaker 4: from Sony as far as the extras, it will have
Speaker 4: Dolby Atmos. There are some featurettes, including one called Daisty Years,
Speaker 4: one called Capturing the Chaos, the survivors becoming the infected
Speaker 4: behind the cameras, stuff like that.
Speaker 2: Did you see twenty eight years Later this year?
Speaker 3: I didn't, but I'm going to attempt another Will Dodson
Speaker 3: joke on this one. The follow up is going to
Speaker 3: be called twenty eight inches Later.
Speaker 4: Yes, the movie famous for zombie dong, which is a
Speaker 4: weird sentence. I never saw myself saying here we are. Yeah,
Speaker 4: good movie. I liked it quite a bit. You talked
Speaker 4: about liking British TV shows earlier. This is a very
Speaker 4: British movie, and if you're not prepared for that, it
Speaker 4: might be slightly off putting.
Speaker 2: So keep that in mind.
Speaker 4: Oh man, this is a release that made a lot
Speaker 4: of people go wild. This week November fifth, Umbrella is
Speaker 4: releasing Freaked from nineteen ninety three the Alex Winter Joint, and.
Speaker 2: They went.
Speaker 4: Saying they went all in on This is kind of
Speaker 4: underselling it. Even Freaked is incredible. Have you seen Freaked before?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: I actually own the DVD release of it that has
Speaker 3: like the c through slip cover, although my old my
Speaker 3: cat who passed away last year, puked on it and
Speaker 3: so it like smells bad because you can't really clean
Speaker 3: that up so much, so I probably need to upgrade it.
Speaker 2: I'm I'm glad that you kept it though.
Speaker 3: Well yeah, I mean, it's the Disparting Memories. It's it's
Speaker 3: a good it's a good film. It is. It's a
Speaker 3: lot of fun.
Speaker 4: Yeah, this is wild and for a number of number
Speaker 4: of reasons. One that we probably should say, Umbrella has
Speaker 4: rights for this in Australia, in the US and the UK.
Speaker 2: Now they've not said, they've.
Speaker 4: Not said if they're gonna be doing different releases, so
Speaker 4: I'm not saying necessarily you have to buy this version
Speaker 4: because the odds are that this is going to get
Speaker 4: released from draft House here in the States the UK.
Speaker 4: Not sure it could be anybody. Hell, they could have
Speaker 4: licensed it to a arrow or something, but we'll find
Speaker 4: out in due time. But they went all in and
Speaker 4: all of the discs that come out in the future
Speaker 4: are likely going to be the same for this because
Speaker 4: they do own worldwide rights. They don't want to compete
Speaker 4: with themselves of course, so they are the first ones
Speaker 4: putting it out. There is probably going to be a
Speaker 4: while before we hear about another release. That way, they
Speaker 4: can sell as many as they can. This release is crazy, though,
Speaker 4: forty eight page book, behind the scenes materials, archival interviews,
Speaker 4: new essays. We've got a bumper one hundred plus page
Speaker 4: book with behind the scenes, new interviews, sorry, new essays
Speaker 4: by Justin Beiem, Whitney, Seibold, Mike Saunders, and fan art.
Speaker 4: There's a script book, an original comic book, custom art stickers,
Speaker 4: a pamphlet, custom artwork, rigid slipcase and then another slipcase,
Speaker 4: and eight art cards, a reversible poster. And of course
Speaker 4: it's limited and numbered. This is wild to have all
Speaker 4: of that in one release. This, this brick of a release,
Speaker 4: is probably going to be the biggest Umbrella release yet.
Speaker 4: I'm speculating offhand. This also has a ton of new extras,
Speaker 4: new interviews, new everything. There's a new work print alternate
Speaker 4: cut on this. There is Alex Winter all over this. Yeah,
Speaker 4: this is a lot, a lot.
Speaker 3: Yeah. It's great to see this getting such a good
Speaker 3: release because it I know, it's a movie that a
Speaker 3: lot of people have been talking about within the horror community,
Speaker 3: specifically because it is underappreciated for the most part, and
Speaker 3: it's the practical effects are just so much fun. It's
Speaker 3: so over the top in zany to be seen.
Speaker 2: Josh says.
Speaker 4: Draft House sent out promotional emails today advertising this Australian import,
Speaker 4: which is interesting. So maybe it won't get a US
Speaker 4: release from draft House or anybody. Maybe it is this
Speaker 4: one that is very bizarre. That also could have just
Speaker 4: been an Umbrella contract thing where they said, hey, you
Speaker 4: can release this later, but you need to advertise ours.
Speaker 2: First or something. Who knows.
Speaker 4: Jay Weber saying, release from draft House on Burned on demand.
Speaker 4: These are not going to be mod discs. These are
Speaker 4: all going to be pressed ahead of time.
Speaker 2: They are.
Speaker 4: They are making many of these, I promise. Yeah, Gary,
Speaker 4: Like I said, Umbrella owns the US release rights, but
Speaker 4: they can license those out to anybody because they own it,
Speaker 4: and can they can license that to anybody because they
Speaker 4: have the rights.
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is this is crazy. Anybody that has not
Speaker 2: seen this movie, what would you compare it to?
Speaker 3: Carln I I don't know, because it's kind of its
Speaker 3: own thing in a way, like it's kind of it
Speaker 3: kind of reminds me a little bit of like a
Speaker 3: pee Wee's playhouse type vibe to it, Yeah, but a
Speaker 3: little more adult with Randy Quaid.
Speaker 2: Way to put a button on that. Yeah.
Speaker 4: The closest thing that I would say is it's probably
Speaker 4: closest to the early Peter Jackson stuff, but even that
Speaker 4: is still very different. Gary is saying, should we wait?
Speaker 4: The question is do you love this movie? If you
Speaker 4: love this movie, this is likely going to be the
Speaker 4: best release of this. If you have never seen this
Speaker 4: movie and you just want like the cheapest release of this,
Speaker 4: I would probably wait and just speculate. This will be
Speaker 4: in print from Umbrella for years, even if they don't
Speaker 4: release anything. So just just give it some time. If
Speaker 4: you're new to it, just let it mellow, calm down.
Speaker 4: It'll go on sale. Hell right now, Umbrella is doing
Speaker 4: a buy one, get one free sale. This will like
Speaker 4: beat a buy one, get one free sale, just not
Speaker 4: the huge version, just the standard in a year or something.
Speaker 2: So you know.
Speaker 3: Actually, actually the tone of the film kind of reminds
Speaker 3: me a little bit of the Aussie film Body.
Speaker 4: Melt Ooh that is a good call. I love I
Speaker 4: love Body.
Speaker 3: Melt Yeah, fun, real, ridiculous.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and uh yeah, just like Jay Weber's about to
Speaker 4: say in the chat, he says speaking of the early
Speaker 4: Peter Jackson stuff. For those that didn't hear, he surprise
Speaker 4: debuted a four K restoration of Dead Alive in the
Speaker 4: last week. I did not post anything about that yet
Speaker 4: because there's no real tangible facts about it yet, but
Speaker 4: he even recorded an intro and talked about how he
Speaker 4: is like thrilled that the restoration has done for his stuff.
Speaker 4: So fingers crossed, we are likely going to be hearing
Speaker 4: four K announcements for Meet the Feebles, Dead Alive and
Speaker 4: everything here soon.
Speaker 2: I know.
Speaker 4: One of the big ones that people have been asking
Speaker 4: about recently is the Frighteners that got a German four
Speaker 4: K release from Turbine about four years ago.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 4: From what I've heard in the past, and this is
Speaker 4: an open secret, I'm not like revealing anything. Ero put
Speaker 4: some of their postcards in some of their titles years
Speaker 4: ago that they were releasing the Frighteners. They still are.
Speaker 4: From what I hear, the stipulation was that Turbine had
Speaker 4: a five year exclusive window on their release, and we're
Speaker 4: coming up on five years, so the arrow release of
Speaker 4: that should be coming in the next eighteen.
Speaker 3: Months or so, I would buy that love.
Speaker 4: I just hope it as the documentary within, because the
Speaker 4: documentary on that movie is great. Yeah, Heavenly Creatures needs
Speaker 4: a new release. Completely agree, Ronnie.
Speaker 3: It's a lot of crying.
Speaker 4: Stan says, once you've seen Freaked, you will love it
Speaker 4: and wish that you had purchased this edition.
Speaker 2: Yep, So maybe maybe just trust it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, just go with it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, move into our next Umbrella title. This is the
Speaker 4: one that was shocking to me. We didn't know this
Speaker 4: was coming. November fifth, We're getting a blu ray in
Speaker 4: Australia from Umbrella of Cecil Be Demented.
Speaker 2: Are you a John Waters guy?
Speaker 3: So I haven't seen a ton of John Waters stuff,
Speaker 3: but I live near Baltimore and I am naturally a
Speaker 3: John Waters fan for that reason, and I've met the guy,
Speaker 3: super super nice. Got him to sign my as he
Speaker 3: put it, non neutered version of a Dirty Shame, which
Speaker 3: was great. I do love that movie. But yeah, no,
Speaker 3: I haven't seen Cecil Be Demented, but I had it
Speaker 3: highly recommended to me recently.
Speaker 2: Actually, it's very good.
Speaker 4: It's also very relevant to twenty twenty five and if
Speaker 4: you are into stuff that feels tongue in cheek, perfect
Speaker 4: to watch right now. This is one of those really
Speaker 4: great titles. Cecil is a lot of fun. Watched this
Speaker 4: with my Patreon in the discord here a couple months ago,
Speaker 4: and yeah, it's a really great group watching movie. Pretty
Speaker 4: much everything John Waters is, so check it out if
Speaker 4: you've not seen it. This is the first proper Blu
Speaker 4: Ray release of this film, which is wild. That being said,
Speaker 4: I gotta admit Umbrella putting this out in Australia makes
Speaker 4: me feel like this is probably likely to get a
Speaker 4: US release here soon. Now, who would it be from
Speaker 4: The odds are probably Criterion. I mean, they've done most
Speaker 4: of the Waters catalog. It would be probably in their
Speaker 4: best interest to do it here in the States as well.
Speaker 2: But it's a fun movie.
Speaker 4: It's also very different from Waters from the rest of
Speaker 4: the stuff. If you've seen some of his other stuff
Speaker 4: and not the later stuff. There are a lot of
Speaker 4: people that feel like there is a very clear line
Speaker 4: of classic Waters and then not great Waters after that.
Speaker 2: I don't really agree with.
Speaker 4: That, but this does fall into the later stuff obviously,
Speaker 4: with them being released in two thousand. This does have
Speaker 4: a forty eight page booklet with it, this custom artwork
Speaker 4: case and all that stuff like they always do, and
Speaker 4: then new stuff. This has the John Waters commentary that
Speaker 4: was done previously. There's a new interview with John Waters.
Speaker 4: There's even a new interview here with Melanie Griffith, which
Speaker 4: for Umbrella to get that is really really surprising. So
Speaker 4: that's showing that they are going all in on something
Speaker 4: like this. I have a feeling that this is going
Speaker 4: to be a pretty incredible disc if you love John Waters.
Speaker 4: Criterion is never going to do anything to this extent.
Speaker 4: This feels like.
Speaker 2: A must if you're a Waters fan boy.
Speaker 4: I didn't even realize there's a new interview with mink
Speaker 4: Stole on here, so check that out.
Speaker 2: This is a great release.
Speaker 3: Cool.
Speaker 4: Next up is The Fire Within from nineteen sixty three.
Speaker 2: Not what I've seen.
Speaker 4: This is a film that's going to have a forty
Speaker 4: eight page booklet as well, new artwork as usual, they've
Speaker 4: got the art cards, a reversible poster, new audio commentary
Speaker 4: with Adrian Martin, who is a very scholarly commentator on
Speaker 4: the releases that he does. This is directed by Louis
Speaker 4: mal We got Louis mall speaks on his movie here,
Speaker 4: and there is a piece by Cat Ellinger as well.
Speaker 4: If this is a big release, I would say, if
Speaker 4: this is a big release for you, again, this is
Speaker 4: probably the best it's going to get for quite some time.
Speaker 4: We don't know anything about any US releases coming, but
Speaker 4: this is good look and release. So have you seen
Speaker 4: anything from Louis mal.
Speaker 3: I have not. I will say like this. When I'm
Speaker 3: first seeing this artwork, I'm like, this isn't my bag
Speaker 3: as far as nightwork goes. But as you were like
Speaker 3: going through the photos, I was like, it's kind of alluring.
Speaker 4: Though to degree, Yeah, I've not loved everything Louis mall
Speaker 4: that I've seen, but when he hits for me, he
Speaker 4: hits hard, and yeah, I'd say the same thing. I've
Speaker 4: not seen this one, but it definitely feels intriguing. Oh,
Speaker 4: Aaron says he loves this movie. There you go.
Speaker 2: Uh yeah.
Speaker 4: Let's go to our next one, which is the last
Speaker 4: of the Umbrella titles, and that is All of Me
Speaker 4: from nineteen eighty four. Also coming up Blu Ray November fifth.
Speaker 4: If you recognize this title, that's because this just a
Speaker 4: Vestron release, which is still very odd to me here
Speaker 4: in the US. From Lionsgate Limited. This is the Steve
Speaker 4: Martin film with Lily Tomlin. This has a forty eight
Speaker 4: page book with essays by Cynthia Wayang, Nadine Whitney, and
Speaker 4: David Michael Brown. A new audio commentary with the wives Colangelo,
Speaker 4: We've got the actor Victoria Tennant does a new interview
Speaker 4: on this, and then David Michael Brown speaks on Steve
Speaker 4: Martin and Carl Reiner's funny friendship. I don't think I've
Speaker 4: ever seen this one, and I definitely want to see it.
Speaker 4: The art on this is an odd style, but I
Speaker 4: do like it more than the Vestron release. But yeah,
Speaker 4: any thoughts on Steve Martin or all of me? Have
Speaker 4: you seen this one?
Speaker 3: I haven't seen this one, but I do typically like
Speaker 3: Steve Martin stuff. Yeah, so I would be interested to
Speaker 3: see it. I don't think I'm gonna buy it.
Speaker 2: Adam says it's top tier Martin. That's interesting to hear.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I've never seen it either, Noodles, I'm very curious.
Speaker 2: Yeah, this looks fun at least. Okay, this is the.
Speaker 4: Second time we're talking about Night Gallery Imprint has done
Speaker 4: this quite a few times. If somebody announces something and
Speaker 4: they have it coming, they kind of rush out and say, hey, hey, hey,
Speaker 4: don't forget about us. We're also releasing this, and they
Speaker 4: are putting out Night Gallery, the complete series sometime soon
Speaker 4: as well. This is gonna be packed with special features
Speaker 4: housed in a limited edition packaging, kind of like.
Speaker 2: They always do.
Speaker 4: There will be a hardcover booklet and it will have
Speaker 4: all kinds of new stuff on it guaranteed.
Speaker 2: No clue when this is coming out.
Speaker 4: They've kind of like pre announced a lot of these,
Speaker 4: like they're doing Jade. They did the same with the Keep.
Speaker 4: They've got a lot of really cool stuff. In fact,
Speaker 4: tonight they're also announcing their next title, which is a
Speaker 4: four K sci fi film from the eighties, and pretty
Speaker 4: much everybody speculating that they're gonna have a really fancy
Speaker 4: edition of the thing to make us all jealous of.
Speaker 4: So yeah, this one is interesting. So for Imprint, they
Speaker 4: had announced a huge bundle of Hitchcock things just last month,
Speaker 4: and for a while two of their Hitchcock releases were
Speaker 4: you can still see them on the site, but you
Speaker 4: could not order them. And now we finally have an update.
Speaker 4: People were starting to get emails saying thank you for
Speaker 4: your pre order of the bundle. Unfortunately, they've been delayed
Speaker 4: to October twenty ninth, which is the first Red Flag,
Speaker 4: and they also said now these are only going to
Speaker 4: be limited to a thousand copies and there will be
Speaker 4: no standard edition.
Speaker 2: On top of.
Speaker 4: That, there was news of them removing a couple of
Speaker 4: special features that were previously announced, So some details on this.
Speaker 4: They said, We've had many questions on the state of
Speaker 4: these upcoming sets, and after some unexpected production delays, we
Speaker 4: are thrilled to now move ahead with these with some changes.
Speaker 4: Both will be strictly limited to one thousand, Every single
Speaker 4: copy will be individually numbered, and there will be no
Speaker 4: standard edition for these collections at all. It's now on
Speaker 4: October twenty ninth. To compensate for the delays and the
Speaker 4: documentary becoming Hitchcock, the legacy of Blackmail.
Speaker 2: Has been removed entirely.
Speaker 4: And then there's an audio commentary that was also removed
Speaker 4: now to me because of the way they pulled it down.
Speaker 2: It seems to me.
Speaker 4: Josh's pointing out that literally just a minute ago, Imprint
Speaker 4: announced Life Force. Oh yeah, not the thing. So there's
Speaker 4: a big fancy release of Life Force out there.
Speaker 3: Well that sounds good.
Speaker 4: So yeah, they pulled a commentary and a documentary. To me,
Speaker 4: the screams like a licensing problem. That's why it was
Speaker 4: halted for a moment. And something happened behind the scenes.
Speaker 4: Somebody found out they were releasing this and said, who wha, woa,
Speaker 4: you can't do that, And now they've been forced to
Speaker 4: change their release, which which sucks, especially for the documentary.
Speaker 2: I did want a disc of that one.
Speaker 3: Wow. Yeah, this really sucks for people who didn't necessarily
Speaker 3: get in on the pre order but found out about
Speaker 3: it later and we're like, oh, I'd like to pick
Speaker 3: that up. Well guess what.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you can still order this from a couple places,
Speaker 4: but it is selling quickly. People are buying us simply
Speaker 4: from the idea of fomo, and don't fall prey to
Speaker 4: that if you are not like incredibly interested in these
Speaker 4: That being said, there are a couple titles on here
Speaker 4: that have not been on Blu Ray before, and that
Speaker 4: it's hitchcock. So for a lot of people that is
Speaker 4: enticing enough. Yeah, Orbit had them earlier in the US,
Speaker 4: and as far as I'm aware, Imprint still had some
Speaker 4: copies just a couple hours ago, so if you're looking
Speaker 4: for them, these will be pricey. Three months after release,
Speaker 4: these are probably gonna go for big, big money. Next up,
Speaker 4: terror Vision posted a bunch of updates and kind of
Speaker 4: really excited about some of these. So the Big One
Speaker 4: is suddenly in the Dark, The Devil's Sword and Children
Speaker 4: of Violent Rome are all shipping now. Things have been
Speaker 4: fixed from their manufacturer, who had a major problem behind
Speaker 4: the scenes. There was a lot of shit that was
Speaker 4: causing some of the biggest anxiety I've ever seen Brad
Speaker 4: and Ryan go through, and I'm glad they are past
Speaker 4: it and we can finally look forward to the rest
Speaker 4: of the year following those. Because of the manufacturing for
Speaker 4: those being delayed, Invader Sledgehammer and Arbor Day, we're all
Speaker 4: kind of pushed back ever so slightly to get those
Speaker 4: fixed first, and so those are coming, but it will
Speaker 4: be in the next handful of weeks. The Gatorbait collection
Speaker 4: has been slightly delayed because we found yet some more
Speaker 4: reels for Gator Bait two and we're still hoping to
Speaker 4: get a perfect candidate to put the entire Gatorbait two
Speaker 4: and four K from the elements.
Speaker 2: If that doesn't work, out.
Speaker 4: We're still gonna put it out on four K, except
Speaker 4: for one of the reels, we'll have to go down
Speaker 4: to SD unfortunately, but it'll still look great for the
Speaker 4: rest of the disc and it looks very very good,
Speaker 4: So just wait for that to come out. And now
Speaker 4: the big thing is their video Club subscription, which, if
Speaker 4: you're not aware, Terror Vision sort of like Vinegar Syndrome.
Speaker 4: They do this whole subscription model thing where you can
Speaker 4: get a certain number of titles and then not have
Speaker 4: to worry about them. You get everything they put out,
Speaker 4: whether it's four K, Blu Ray, Deluxe package whatever. They
Speaker 4: are keeping those however, because manufacturing costs have gone up.
Speaker 4: They've been doing the same prices for years, and they've
Speaker 4: raised the prices ever so slightly. And they've also changed
Speaker 4: the tiers that you can get. So they used to
Speaker 4: have ten, twenty, thirty, forty and fifty title tiers. That's
Speaker 4: a lot to choose from, and for a lot of people,
Speaker 4: if you're getting ten titles and they announced ten titles
Speaker 4: in the next two months, it can feel very like, Oh,
Speaker 4: I was a subscriber and now I get nothing. I'm
Speaker 4: already out. Why did I subscribe? So they raise that
Speaker 4: a little bit, and so now you can get fifteen titles,
Speaker 4: thirty titles, or fifty titles, and the prices are still
Speaker 4: very very reasonable in my opinion at least. So for
Speaker 4: fifteen titles it's three seventy three, for thirty titles it's
Speaker 4: six sixty six, of course they had to, and then
Speaker 4: for fifty titles it's one thousand forty, which is still
Speaker 4: like a crazy good price, especially because you still get
Speaker 4: free shipping here in the US. You also still get
Speaker 4: access to the clubhouse where you get warehouse wholesale pricing
Speaker 4: on everything that they do. And the big thing is
Speaker 4: if you're already a subscriber up until the date of
Speaker 4: when they are making this change, which is I think
Speaker 4: it's August ninth. Let me verify before I say that out. Yeah,
Speaker 4: August ninth, that is the date of the price changes.
Speaker 4: So up until then, all of those old options are
Speaker 4: still available. And this is so cool. They're telling you, now,
Speaker 4: if you like those old prices and don't want to
Speaker 4: pay more later, you can go subscribe now and keep
Speaker 4: that price as long as you have an active subscription.
Speaker 4: So you could just keep subscribing at that same price
Speaker 4: as it keeps going on. Now, of course something could
Speaker 4: change years in the future or whatever, but that is
Speaker 4: really cool that they're giving you like a ten day
Speaker 4: warning to go subscribe at the old price.
Speaker 3: Now, yeah, I mean that doesn't surprise me with the
Speaker 3: way they've been doing things. And I am a subscriber,
Speaker 3: although I'm not the best subscriber because I keep emailing
Speaker 3: and saying I don't want this one, I don't want
Speaker 3: this one. Keep that kind of deferring. But I actually
Speaker 3: have gotten to a point where I'm like, you know what,
Speaker 3: I'm just gonna let it ride from now on. Just
Speaker 3: whatever shows up, it shows up.
Speaker 4: I will say the end of this update, they tease
Speaker 4: something and it says most important of all Terror Visions
Speaker 4: thirteen weeks of Halloween starts August eighth. I will say,
Speaker 4: the rest of this year and the following handful of
Speaker 4: months for TerrorVision are going to surprise the hell out
Speaker 4: of some people.
Speaker 3: All Right, well, maybe I need to increase my subscription.
Speaker 4: There are titles coming that people are going to be shocked.
Speaker 4: TerrorVision were able to get and the extras that we
Speaker 4: are putting on there are incredible. You are very much
Speaker 4: going to be hearing a lot more from TerrorVision in
Speaker 4: the coming months.
Speaker 3: I'm very excited about that.
Speaker 4: Just wait, August eighth is gonna be the kickoff, and
Speaker 4: there's man thirteen weeks in a row and doing it
Speaker 4: right this time. I know that they tried this before
Speaker 4: and it floundered, but it's gonna be a lot of fun.
Speaker 2: Next up.
Speaker 4: Just earlier today, Flicker Alley announced September ninth they're releasing
Speaker 4: a blu ray of their Flicker Fusion series Getting He
Speaker 4: Who Gets Slapped from nineteen twenty four, starring Lon Cheney.
Speaker 4: This is center stage as He, a tortured clown who
Speaker 4: signature ACKed, is receiving an endless series of slaps to
Speaker 4: the face, essentially as part of therapy for him. In
Speaker 4: a way, this looks like a really loaded release. I'm
Speaker 4: so stoked that they're giving us much love and attention
Speaker 4: to this. It's got a commentary, it's got animated shorts
Speaker 4: that have been restored from the Max Fleischer Library. It's
Speaker 4: got an original featurette from twenty twenty five that explores
Speaker 4: the early days of the MGM's beloved Leo the Lion,
Speaker 4: which as an animal lover. That's awesome to me that
Speaker 4: they're putting that on there. It's got a booklet insert.
Speaker 4: I love flicker Ally's releases. This looks great that artwork.
Speaker 3: It kind of makes me think that that's what the
Speaker 3: sequel two hundreds of Beavers should look like, just like
Speaker 3: it would be like hundreds of clowns. Next.
Speaker 4: Yes, yeah, that would be terrifying for a lot of people.
Speaker 4: Dustin is asking our ERVision planning another YouTube video for
Speaker 4: the thirteen weeks weeks of Halloween. I will say the
Speaker 4: answer is no, They're not planning another YouTube video for
Speaker 4: thirteen weeks of Halloween. We're gonna have a lot of
Speaker 4: fun with it.
Speaker 2: Just you wait.
Speaker 4: Next, Sony is releasing a four K steal book as
Speaker 4: usual of the Quicken the Dead from nineteen ninety five,
Speaker 4: coming on October seventh. This looks to me, I believe
Speaker 4: the exact same four K release that was released previously.
Speaker 4: I don't think that first one had Dolby Vision on.
Speaker 4: This one did. And that's what Sony does. They re
Speaker 4: released things and slap Dolby Vision on it, put it
Speaker 4: in a steel book, and say, hey, give us forty bucks.
Speaker 4: This is a great movie. But I don't think I
Speaker 4: need another four K release of this one.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know in this, but maybe I should.
Speaker 2: I Have you seen this one?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've seen it. There's this thing with me where
Speaker 3: I have this kind of I'm drawn to movies that
Speaker 3: have like a tournament aspect to them, like kind of
Speaker 3: like Mortal Kombat, Quick in the Dead, like that type
Speaker 3: of thing. It's like, now this person versus this person. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I don't know why.
Speaker 4: It's a good movie. In fact, it is a great movie.
Speaker 4: It's got kind of a mind blowing cast. For anybody
Speaker 4: that's never seen it, it is certainly one to look into.
Speaker 4: It's nineteen ninety five, so some of these people are young.
Speaker 4: But it is great, really really great. Next, another update
Speaker 4: from air forty four to forty four, who have said
Speaker 4: that their latest limited editions of P mack Alone and
Speaker 4: Mermaid Legend will finally be shipping starting the week of
Speaker 4: August fourteenth.
Speaker 2: This has been one.
Speaker 4: Of the longest running sagas of twenty twenty five. This
Speaker 4: in the Brevidio Giallo box set from Cauldron, which is
Speaker 4: also shipping as of right now.
Speaker 2: This is going to.
Speaker 4: Include standard editions which were also ordered from them. I
Speaker 4: don't know what happened behind the scenes, but they have
Speaker 4: had a hard year with manufacturing. It has been so
Speaker 4: bad that on this graphic they even say at the
Speaker 4: bottom please contact us if you have address updates.
Speaker 2: That's how long it's been.
Speaker 4: They expect that people have moved since they ordered stuff, So.
Speaker 2: This is crazy.
Speaker 4: If you need to update your address, contact them and
Speaker 4: they will help you out. I do not envy the
Speaker 4: emails that they have probably been receiving for the last
Speaker 4: seven months.
Speaker 3: No, sounds like a nightmare.
Speaker 4: Next up another weird update, Keino announced that they're packaging
Speaker 4: for the Airport four K box sets will have to
Speaker 4: be changed. So they say the key art for the
Speaker 4: slipcase and digipack of the Airport box sets will be revised.
Speaker 4: We will share the new art with everybody soon. The
Speaker 4: street date for this may also have to be changed
Speaker 4: due to this unforeseen delay. Now a lot of people
Speaker 4: are asking why. The honest answer here, you'll never know why.
Speaker 4: This screams something legal that they had to change or update,
Speaker 4: and we will never have that answer unless somebody from
Speaker 4: Keno like leaks it on a stream in four years
Speaker 4: or something. This feels like what they had to do
Speaker 4: with the extras on that Columbo box set. But to me,
Speaker 4: like the art here is good. It's not bad art necessarily.
Speaker 4: It's probably where there's something in like the original contract
Speaker 4: that somebody had to have top billing on anything to
Speaker 4: do with this film or something like that, and so
Speaker 4: what we'll find out soon about that. But yeah, if
Speaker 4: you were waiting for this, just be advised you may
Speaker 4: be experiencing a delay. The original release date was September thirtieth,
Speaker 4: so that's it's not so close that they couldn't meet manufacturing,
Speaker 4: but depending on when that can get approved that yeah,
Speaker 4: they might have to push it back further. Okay, so
Speaker 4: today the art for the Nightmare and Elm Street four
Speaker 4: K steelbook that we already talked about has officially been
Speaker 4: revealed for the US, and yes, they are the all
Speaker 4: the original theatrical posters. And the big thing is that
Speaker 4: we can zoom in on here and find out some
Speaker 4: things like Bilby Atmos is probably present on every single
Speaker 4: one of the titles except for the two that are uncut.
Speaker 4: They don't have Delbi atmos on those two versions. They
Speaker 4: will include three D glasses in the release, and then
Speaker 4: I don't know if this is to be believed, but
Speaker 4: if you zoom in here, there's a certificate of authenticity
Speaker 4: and it shows that it's out of four thousand. Now,
Speaker 4: the rumor was previously that the US was going to
Speaker 4: have ten thousand copies, but this could be indicating why
Speaker 4: it has sold out so quickly, because four thousand for
Speaker 4: Nightmare and Elm Street is a really small number for
Speaker 4: the US.
Speaker 3: Yeah, very popular franchise, So why so few?
Speaker 2: It's a good question.
Speaker 4: Although manufacturing for this is definitely gonna cost them a fortune,
Speaker 4: although they would make it all back immediately, so I'm
Speaker 4: not sure this is a big one if you were
Speaker 4: after this. Like I said earlier, it is sold out
Speaker 4: in the US. It's an Amazon exclusive. However, the US
Speaker 4: release or the UK release is still available from a
Speaker 4: few sites. Just get it quick. The standard release is available.
Speaker 4: Make a choice if you want.
Speaker 2: It or not. That's it.
Speaker 4: That's all we wrote on the announcements. Let's go into
Speaker 4: what is coming out next week For those that forgot,
Speaker 4: it's not a huge week, but a couple of big
Speaker 4: titles at least Master and Commander in four K. Have
Speaker 4: you ever seen that movie? No, I'm stoked on that one.
Speaker 4: That thing is gonna look beautiful in four K. It's
Speaker 4: it's a fun movie. It's the type of movie that
Speaker 4: we don't really get because it's quite practical, and yeah,
Speaker 4: it's gonna look gorgeous in four K. Sunset Boulevard four
Speaker 4: K from Paramount, next week, Better Off Dead four K
Speaker 4: from Paramount, Friendship from A twenty four. Loved that movie
Speaker 4: this year year for that Blu Ray, some criteria stuff.
Speaker 4: We got Fires on the Plane four K, the Burmese
Speaker 4: Burmese Harp four K, the title that pissed off a
Speaker 4: bunch of people Late Night with the Devil, got a
Speaker 4: four K Steel book coming next week. Shaw Brothers Classics
Speaker 4: Volume seven from Shout Factory Volume seven coming next week,
Speaker 4: Convoy four K from Keno, and then those titles shipping
Speaker 4: from Tervision, like we stated, Universal Theory from Oscilloscope, the
Speaker 4: capture from Filmmasters, and that's that's pretty much it. Nothing crazy,
Speaker 4: anything that you've got on the way or excited about.
Speaker 3: In that list, No, not from that one.
Speaker 4: It's kind of a slow week, which yeah, odd for
Speaker 4: what we're seeing over the next couple months, but that's
Speaker 4: probably why is everything's gearing up for big September and
Speaker 4: October announced.
Speaker 3: But yeah, and I mean Vinegar Syndrome has new stuff
Speaker 3: dropping tomorrow, so I'm gonna be shelling out some ducats
Speaker 3: for that.
Speaker 4: It's a busy day, that's for sure. I mean I'm
Speaker 4: gonna be posting announcements for like two and.
Speaker 3: A half hours tomorrow probably.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Friendship for me, Josh, for sure, that's a big one.
Speaker 4: So now we were talking about Shutter you mentioned earlier
Speaker 4: You've been covering their stuff for quite some time. There
Speaker 4: is a weird spectrum of Shutter titles that have ran
Speaker 4: the gamut of quality.
Speaker 2: What are some some.
Speaker 4: Ones that have not made your list tonight that you
Speaker 4: would still recommend that people check out, or maybe that
Speaker 4: aren't like underrated but are still very very good movies.
Speaker 3: Okay, so these would should I just go? Are you
Speaker 3: talking about my honorable men?
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's do honorable mentions.
Speaker 3: I'm just I don't know how in depth you would
Speaker 3: like me to go on them.
Speaker 2: But as in depth as you want, okay, so just.
Speaker 3: A little bit. And I ranked them basically. So I'm
Speaker 3: doing five of my honorable mentions that I do think
Speaker 3: are quite underrated as far as exclusive and originals for
Speaker 3: shuttergo the bottom one I would recommend, but still a
Speaker 3: really good time available on Shutter right now. Vicious Fun
Speaker 3: smaller budget film. The acting is not like the best,
Speaker 3: but the premise is basically this kid who gets into
Speaker 3: this weird situation where he kind of accidentally stumbles upon
Speaker 3: a serial killers support group and then he kind of
Speaker 3: gets found out, but then he gets his ass saved
Speaker 3: by a woman who is going after said serial killers.
Speaker 3: And it is as the title says, it's fun. It's
Speaker 3: vicious fun. It has some vicious moments to it, but
Speaker 3: it's also really fun. It is funny. It has some
Speaker 3: good comedic moments to it. Plus it has a really
Speaker 3: underrated actor, Julian Richings, who's an older fellow, but he
Speaker 3: kind of came on the scene for a lot of
Speaker 3: people with anything for Jackson, which was another Shutter I
Speaker 3: think original actually and did a really good job in that.
Speaker 3: But he's particularly fun in it. But it's just it's
Speaker 3: a really fun film. Have you seen Vicious Fun?
Speaker 4: I think so this is I made a weird list
Speaker 4: that Shutters got some of those titles that I have.
Speaker 4: I know that I've seen them and I can't remember
Speaker 4: anything about them.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yep, yep, Yep, there are one of those. Yeah,
Speaker 3: there's some for me like that for sure.
Speaker 4: It's tough because they like, over the years, they've cranked out.
Speaker 3: A lot, yes, a lot of stuff.
Speaker 2: Yeah I think this Does this one have a blu
Speaker 2: ray from Shutter?
Speaker 3: I don't think so.
Speaker 4: Okay, Yeah, and they a lot of those earlier ones
Speaker 4: they did get a lot of blue rays, but unfortunately
Speaker 4: some weird ones that were actually like pretty decent never
Speaker 4: got some some discs.
Speaker 2: So yeah, I probably need to rewatch this one, worth
Speaker 2: it all right? Next one from you?
Speaker 3: All right? My number four is after Midnight eight, So
Speaker 3: this one is actually not on Shutter anymore, but it's
Speaker 3: free on to be, Pluto, TV and Hulu, so you
Speaker 3: can check it out in all those areas. It was
Speaker 3: done by Jeremy Gardner, who also did The Battery if
Speaker 3: anyone's seen that. Really low budget film also has Bria
Speaker 3: Grant in it, who does a great job, really good
Speaker 3: acting for how low budget it is. But it's a
Speaker 3: really well done story about a guy who's basically dealing
Speaker 3: with a creature outside of his house that comes around
Speaker 3: after midnight. But it's kind of it's more than that.
Speaker 3: It's more of like an emotional thing about like where
Speaker 3: he is in his life and kind of like some
Speaker 3: loss in his life. And yeah, it's really well put
Speaker 3: together and it's one that a lot of people should see.
Speaker 3: So After Midnight.
Speaker 4: This is one, and don't feel bad or anything. This
Speaker 4: was on my list of five. I think this is
Speaker 4: highly highly underrated.
Speaker 2: He is.
Speaker 4: He's one of those filmmakers that you can tell most
Speaker 4: likely does his best work under very specific limitations with
Speaker 4: this in the Battery. Yes, it is quite obvious that
Speaker 4: he didn't have even like a moderate budget. They are
Speaker 4: both quite small, but he pulls things off with these
Speaker 4: that other filmmakers would dream to do. He definitely has
Speaker 4: skills that people do not display on other films. I
Speaker 4: probably prefer The Battery at least a little bit. But
Speaker 4: After Midnight is very very good as well. Yes, this
Speaker 4: is definitely one that if you've not seen it, highly
Speaker 4: recommend checking this out. And this one I believe did
Speaker 4: get a Blu Ray release at least one. I don't
Speaker 4: remember if he got something else overseas, but I think
Speaker 4: it got.
Speaker 2: Is it shout Factory that did it?
Speaker 3: Yeah? That rings a bell? You might be right on
Speaker 3: that or.
Speaker 4: No, it's a good Deed did this one. There is
Speaker 4: a another title called After Midnight from years ago that
Speaker 4: Shout Factory did.
Speaker 2: Oh Aero UK did it?
Speaker 4: That must be what I'm thinking, Thanks Josh. All right,
Speaker 4: so that's one from my list. What else you got?
Speaker 3: I can knock some more off? Number three for me
Speaker 3: of the honorable mentions, And this one did get a
Speaker 3: physical release summer of eighty four. Yeah, this one is
Speaker 3: available on Prime, Apple TV and YouTube currently, so you
Speaker 3: can check it out there. It's got like this kind
Speaker 3: of like summer vibe to it, like kind of like
Speaker 3: it or like the Goonies something like that with young
Speaker 3: kids and they're basically in this neighborhood and they think
Speaker 3: that one of the neighbors in the neighborhood is potentially
Speaker 3: a serial killer. So it's about them kind of trying
Speaker 3: to like convince the other adults there. That's what's going on.
Speaker 3: But there's a lot of like cool like high jinks
Speaker 3: with the kids going on and like camaraderie and you know,
Speaker 3: it's it's a really fun film. And there's there's one
Speaker 3: part towards the end of the film that will it's
Speaker 3: it's very intense, very intense and you might not see
Speaker 3: it coming. Highly recommend Summer of eighty four.
Speaker 4: It's kind of jarring at the end of this because
Speaker 4: it is the rest of the movie doesn't really fit
Speaker 4: that vibe. But they sort of like they made a
Speaker 4: I think they sort of just made like a very
Speaker 4: particular choice to say, we're swinging for the fences at
Speaker 4: the end of this, so.
Speaker 2: That when people walk away, they're going whoa.
Speaker 4: And it works, I think because if you if you
Speaker 4: left it like feeling like the Goonies of the Burbs.
Speaker 4: I feel like this could have felt a little samy
Speaker 4: to some other films, sort of like a Disturbia with
Speaker 4: Shila buff ever so slightly in some of the scenes.
Speaker 4: But the end of this is very good and it
Speaker 4: goes from like a pre teen level of movie to
Speaker 4: very much like a oh yeah, like this this movie
Speaker 4: was made for me type of ending.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: And this this one came out kind of many years
Speaker 3: ago on Shutter and a lot of people just hand it.
Speaker 4: And got a four K from Gunpowder and Sky, which
Speaker 4: looks incredible.
Speaker 3: It's good stuff, all right. I guess I'll go to
Speaker 3: my number two. This one is free on two B.
Speaker 3: At the moment, I do recommend a palate cleanser after
Speaker 3: you watch it. It is incident in a ghost land
Speaker 3: not seeing this one. So this one's done by Pascal Lagier,
Speaker 3: who also did Martyrs, so you might know what it's
Speaker 3: gonna feel like a little bit not good. It is
Speaker 3: a very good film, though, but it's a home invasion.
Speaker 3: It's basically like these girls who grew up and their
Speaker 3: mom was trying to fight off these home invaders and
Speaker 3: ended up getting killed, and then they come back together
Speaker 3: many years later, and some weird things end up happening.
Speaker 3: But there's a point in this film where things really
Speaker 3: flip on you, and it's a lot. I got done
Speaker 3: with that movie and I was just like, I cannot
Speaker 3: go to bed right now. Guy needs something else to
Speaker 3: make me feel better about the world. But it's a
Speaker 3: very good film.
Speaker 4: Some iconic imagery from this movie has got a very
Speaker 4: memorable poster with the face on it, one that has
Speaker 4: been on my watch list for far too long.
Speaker 2: I need to see this one.
Speaker 3: Yeah, definitely, well free on twob crisis runny enough.
Speaker 4: I think I have a media book of this and
Speaker 4: I've just not been able to put it in yet.
Speaker 2: But I need to know there you go.
Speaker 3: And then my number one honorable mention is Coco d
Speaker 3: Coco Da. This is a Scandinavian film. It's free on
Speaker 3: Fandango at home right now and free on tub so
Speaker 3: you can check it out both places. So this one
Speaker 3: is it's basically about a couple who lose their child
Speaker 3: in very heartbreaking fashion and they go away for a
Speaker 3: camping trip and they are beset upon by some menacing
Speaker 3: characters who do terrible things to them. But then it
Speaker 3: keeps repeating. That whole scenario keeps repeating, and it feels
Speaker 3: weird and you're kind of like, I don't know what
Speaker 3: they're trying to do here, but just stick with it.
Speaker 3: By the end of the film, there's a very interesting
Speaker 3: animation that kind of sums up what they're trying to
Speaker 3: go for here, and it ends up becoming a very
Speaker 3: profound film, a very emotional film, and I was left
Speaker 3: feeling very vulnerable after I watched it, and it is phenomenal.
Speaker 3: Definitely check it out.
Speaker 2: This is quite good and it was Blu ray released.
Speaker 2: Was it the Canalog? Do you remember? Offhand?
Speaker 3: That sounds right? But I said that before when I
Speaker 3: was wrong.
Speaker 2: So I think it was the Canalog.
Speaker 4: It might be somebody else, but I will say the
Speaker 4: Canalog has done a number of films like this.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say it like nineteen times. Let me make
Speaker 2: sure I'm saying the right thing. Coco D I think
Speaker 2: it was.
Speaker 4: Oh damn it is dark Star. Oh okay, so dark Star. No,
Speaker 4: I will say, check out to Cantalog. They've done some
Speaker 4: stuff that feels like this film actually, but dark Star
Speaker 4: did a really good job on this release. This is
Speaker 4: one that sort of came out of nowhere from that label.
Speaker 4: Dark Star has done like a lot of very low
Speaker 4: budget sort of I don't want to trash the label
Speaker 4: like I love I love the owner. I've talked to
Speaker 4: him a handful of times, but.
Speaker 2: Most of the movies have not been for me.
Speaker 4: And this is one of like the seven or eight
Speaker 4: from them that I've really liked. And it was quite
Speaker 4: quite different from their usual fear. If you have not
Speaker 4: seen it, I think it's definitely worth watching it is
Speaker 4: you'll remember it, that's for sure.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, gosh, shutters, that's such an extensive library.
Speaker 2: Some of these I don't even remember being shuttered. Yeah,
Speaker 2: that's the crazy thing.
Speaker 4: Yeah, all right, so you covered one of mine. I'm
Speaker 4: gonna throw out another one since you've been heavy detailing yours,
Speaker 4: so that we can get a break for a moment.
Speaker 4: But I feel like most people know this filmmaker. In fact,
Speaker 4: you've already said his name tonight.
Speaker 2: Once.
Speaker 4: Everybody knows When Evil Lurks, but so many people slept
Speaker 4: on Damian Rugnan's first film, Terrified, the when we when
Speaker 4: we finally decided on this topic, Terrified was the first
Speaker 4: thing that I knew I wanted to talk about because
Speaker 4: I I was ringing the bill for this movie from
Speaker 4: day one. I think I saw this the day it
Speaker 4: was put on shutter and ever since then, like this,
Speaker 4: to me, this is at least as good as When
Speaker 4: Evil Lurks. Maybe it's it's a very different movie. It's
Speaker 4: it's definitely more contained, not leaning on a lot of
Speaker 4: like the it's not even action, but like the moving
Speaker 4: mysticism in the second half of When Evil Lurks, but
Speaker 4: Terrified is creepy as shit.
Speaker 2: There are two specifically that really gets you.
Speaker 4: The one that everybody talks about is the dinner table scene,
Speaker 4: and it's I'm a gonna say that because you have
Speaker 4: to watch it, and it's such a wonderfully, wonderfully built
Speaker 4: up to device that he so earns the shock that
Speaker 4: you get there. And what's crazy, it's not like, you know,
Speaker 4: we just talked about Martyrs first plit. Second, it's nothing
Speaker 4: like Marders, there's nothing like Gore shock.
Speaker 2: It's just the.
Speaker 4: Actual tension and anxiety that he's built within you that
Speaker 4: dinner day will see will make you like your heart
Speaker 4: flutters if you're invested in this film.
Speaker 2: The other thing I really love about this movie is in.
Speaker 4: The second half of the film, it starts to get
Speaker 4: this awkward, surreal vibe going on that doesn't happen in
Speaker 4: a lot of films, especially in the US. And because
Speaker 4: it's this Argentinian, really great sort of like very unique
Speaker 4: take on this mythological sort of MYSTICI I don't know
Speaker 4: the best way to say that, but it's.
Speaker 2: Like a very spiritual movie at the end of it.
Speaker 4: I think that they they approach this movie with with
Speaker 4: the way that gives it just this great dignity and
Speaker 4: a very unique feeling. It does not feel like an
Speaker 4: American film in any sense of that.
Speaker 3: I've actually not seen it. Yeah, being the person who
Speaker 3: does all the shutter stuff, so it was on Shutter
Speaker 3: before I started getting screeners and doing reviews.
Speaker 2: Oh wow.
Speaker 3: So there were a few movies that, like, I never
Speaker 3: found myself going back to take care of them. I
Speaker 3: did want to, but I just got wrapped up with
Speaker 3: other stuff. But it's been on my list. I have
Speaker 3: seen the clip of the dinner table scene you were
Speaker 3: talking about, though, and it was masterfully done, and even
Speaker 3: outside of the context of the whole film, it had
Speaker 3: a lot of impact for when I saw it.
Speaker 4: So yeah, one more scene that I really wanted to
Speaker 4: shout out is there's this one thing where this couple
Speaker 4: is looking across the street through the curtains of their window,
Speaker 4: and it's one of those things like we see in
Speaker 4: a lot of American horror movies where they do like
Speaker 4: the mirror trick where they show you a mirror and
Speaker 4: some like empty scene and so you're blatantly thinking, oh,
Speaker 4: when they close the mir or something's going to be there,
Speaker 4: and it's not. But they do like the violin strike
Speaker 4: to scare you, which is so dumb. This way that
Speaker 4: they keep approaching the window is such a I don't know,
Speaker 4: it's just this this unique way to like cause dread
Speaker 4: in a viewer that is truly invested in the film,
Speaker 4: and it shows just getting getting immersed in this movie,
Speaker 4: in these movies will cause you so much more joy,
Speaker 4: like dropping your phone, seeing these in a theater when possible,
Speaker 4: doing something to be able to make these just your
Speaker 4: sole focus.
Speaker 2: It makes these movies so much better.
Speaker 3: Agreed, definitely, all right, what do we got from you?
Speaker 2: Number five?
Speaker 3: Okay, so let's you don't want to do more honorable mentions.
Speaker 2: I'll bring up a couple at the end. I don't.
Speaker 4: I don't want to cross everything on your list. So
Speaker 4: just in case you're going to.
Speaker 3: Say, okay, so getting to my actual top five list
Speaker 3: of the most underrated, My number five is The Headhunter. Now,
Speaker 3: this one is extremely low budget. It's basically about a
Speaker 3: it's like medieval setting, but it's kind of like fantastical
Speaker 3: where it's this guy who literally is a headhunter who
Speaker 3: kind of goes out for his kingdom that he's a
Speaker 3: servant of killing creatures, killing like these mythological creatures. There's
Speaker 3: no dialogue whatsoever. The sound design is great because obviously
Speaker 3: it sticks out with no dialogue. It shot really well.
Speaker 3: It's very like kind of bleak looking. There is an
Speaker 3: interesting like undercurrent of a story there, and it's amazing
Speaker 3: what was able to be pulled off with like no budget.
Speaker 3: I actually had the honor of hosting a watch party
Speaker 3: and the filmmakers Kevin Stewart and Jordan Downey actually attended
Speaker 3: and talked about the film with us, which was super cool.
Speaker 3: Which by the way, they did, ThanksKilling for if people
Speaker 3: wanted a reference for other stuff, they did. But also
Speaker 3: a segment and Downy did a segment in the most
Speaker 3: recent VHS that Shutter put out as well. That was
Speaker 3: the best one of that group, honestly. But yeah, Headhunters
Speaker 3: so good, so good, so unbelievably underrated anyone I talked to,
Speaker 3: no one's even heard of it. If you got to
Speaker 3: check it out, it's free on Fandango at home right now.
Speaker 2: I've never used Fandago at home to stream. That sounds fantastic.
Speaker 2: I didn't know they had so much available that is
Speaker 2: like that they did.
Speaker 4: This did get a Blu ray release over in the
Speaker 4: UK from One on one Films did do you know
Speaker 4: did it get one in the States.
Speaker 3: I think it did. I remember seeing a physical release
Speaker 3: of it at some point somewhere.
Speaker 4: It looks like you got a German release maybe and
Speaker 4: the UK release and that is it. But the UK
Speaker 4: release is really good. I wanted to look this up
Speaker 4: because I remember this being short, but I how short.
Speaker 4: It's seventy three minutes. This movie is really good. This
Speaker 4: was on my Honorable Mentions list, so it's kind of
Speaker 4: perfect because this is another one of those movies that
Speaker 4: you can just tell looking at this they didn't have
Speaker 4: to have a budget for this.
Speaker 2: They they do so much.
Speaker 4: With so little for this, and there's so little dialogue
Speaker 4: and it's literally just this incredible world that they create
Speaker 4: visually that you immediately get lost in and I feel
Speaker 4: like hardly anybody has seen it.
Speaker 2: Noodles.
Speaker 4: The title is The Headhunter and this is from Oh gosh,
Speaker 4: I forgot what this was like twenty eighteen.
Speaker 3: Twenty nineteen. Yeah, sounds about right.
Speaker 2: Very very good.
Speaker 4: And the One on one Film's release I believe is
Speaker 4: still in print and it's a solid disc. I know
Speaker 4: One on one Films has kind of hit or miss,
Speaker 4: but it's one that I had to get from them.
Speaker 4: I've got it right up there. It's it's genuinely a
Speaker 4: great movie and for sure worth watching. And the hard
Speaker 4: part is again it's short and it's not a lot
Speaker 4: of dialogue, So it's another one that you kind of
Speaker 4: got to force yourself to put the phone down and
Speaker 4: really immerse yourself in because without the dialogue, it's easy.
Speaker 2: To get lost. But it's rewarding, it's you'll you'll appreciate it.
Speaker 3: And that ending. Yeah, I did not see the ending
Speaker 3: coming and it was. It's it's a good ending, so satisfying.
Speaker 4: My next one, I was going to ask you, hoping
Speaker 4: that you are the expert on this one. Uh, the
Speaker 4: movie is The Furies? Is this a shut Is this
Speaker 4: a Shutter original.
Speaker 3: Or I think it is. I think it was an
Speaker 3: original that was towards the beginning of when I started
Speaker 3: covering these things.
Speaker 4: So this is not appearing on lists when I find
Speaker 4: like the list of Shutter originals, But the blubray release
Speaker 4: says a Shutter exclusive, so it's got to be one
Speaker 4: of the ones that they distribute something. No, it definitely is,
Speaker 4: because I remember getting a screener for it and reviewing it. Uh, yeah,
Speaker 4: The Furies is one. This was on my list because
Speaker 4: we're talking primarily about under rated. This is this is
Speaker 4: not going to be like the best film on my
Speaker 4: list tonight because there's a lot of problems with this movie, however,
Speaker 4: very underrated because the story here is compelling, the writing
Speaker 4: is pretty good, the acting leaves a little bit to
Speaker 4: be desired, and unfortunately, because of the budget for this film,
Speaker 4: some of the effects are going to take you out
Speaker 4: of it in a couple of the scenes.
Speaker 2: That being said, this is a damn fun movie.
Speaker 4: This is about a woman that gets kidnapped and she
Speaker 4: wakes up in this I don't even know what to
Speaker 4: call it, like this area.
Speaker 3: And like desert, like a desert but with trees.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't know how to describe this. It is
Speaker 4: essentially a game where she is being hunted by these
Speaker 4: mass dudes and then finds out that she's not alone.
Speaker 4: There are other people being hunted as well. There are
Speaker 4: some gnarly deaths. There are some really intense scenes of
Speaker 4: like cat and mouse type of running. It's it's a
Speaker 4: very good movie and I feel like it came out
Speaker 4: it got a lot of talk for like a week,
Speaker 4: and then everybody forgot it existed. The Furies is quite good,
Speaker 4: deserves a watch. It is a lot of fun and
Speaker 4: I know that things like batle Real and the Hunger
Speaker 4: Games and all these other things that are sort of
Speaker 4: similar but not not at all like the Furies at
Speaker 4: the end of the day sort of you know, cast
Speaker 4: a large shadow over this movie. This is very unique
Speaker 4: and because of the budget, it's gonna get forgotten, which
Speaker 4: really sucks because it deserves to be seen.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I agree, it's pretty solid. I again, not like
Speaker 3: a great, great film, but it's definitely one of those
Speaker 3: films that you should give it a shot just because
Speaker 3: of effort that went into it. And like you said,
Speaker 3: there are some pretty gnarly kills in it. It's kind
Speaker 3: of one of those ones. Maybe put it on watch
Speaker 3: with like a buddy or like have it on when
Speaker 3: you're doing something else in the background, you know, one
Speaker 3: of those.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a good time. Next up for you.
Speaker 3: Okay, So my number four is still available on shutter
Speaker 3: right now. I don't think anywhere else. This is gwar.
Speaker 3: It is a documentary. Scott. Shout out to Scott Barber,
Speaker 3: the guy who made this documentary, because when I put
Speaker 3: my review up, he actually commented on it and thanked
Speaker 3: me for the review, which was very nice of him.
Speaker 3: He definitely did not have to do that. Phenomenal documentary.
Speaker 3: And I'm not even like a big Guar fan or anything,
Speaker 3: but if you have like a modicum of interest in
Speaker 3: the band gwar, like just want to know what they're about,
Speaker 3: You've got to watch this documentary. It is so engaging,
Speaker 3: It is so interesting. The story of Guar and who
Speaker 3: they are and where they come from and how they're
Speaker 3: still existing is just very, very engaging, and it's told
Speaker 3: in a masterful way through the documentary. So cannot recommend
Speaker 3: it enough.
Speaker 4: This is the great version of a music documentary where
Speaker 4: you could literally know nothing about the group that they
Speaker 4: are covering and still walk away from the documentary going
Speaker 4: that was a very compelling watch and honestly may not
Speaker 4: even be driven to check out the music, but still
Speaker 4: feel fulfilled. It is truly an enjoyable, enjoyable conversation the
Speaker 4: entire time. The work put into this, you can tell
Speaker 4: is pretty exhaustive. From what I remember, I think there's
Speaker 4: a couple fairly big Gar stories that people were kind
Speaker 4: of upset that weren't covered in the docum very much.
Speaker 4: But other than that, I mean, I wouldn't know that
Speaker 4: those were missing because I'm not a huge Gar fan,
Speaker 4: but I understand if you're super into Gar and walk
Speaker 4: away feeling like some things are missing. That being said,
Speaker 4: great stories. What this really made me want is some
Speaker 4: of the old GUAR movies put on physical media that
Speaker 4: will never come out.
Speaker 2: Probably.
Speaker 4: I think this is a blast, And yeah, definitely made
Speaker 4: me fall more in adoration and with some of the
Speaker 4: people that have been associated with Guar over the years,
Speaker 4: for sure.
Speaker 2: And I mean if your only.
Speaker 4: Influence from Gwar has been like the Joe Lynch and
Speaker 4: Adam Green side of things, because Gwar has been attached
Speaker 4: to them obviously for years, then you'll probably even still
Speaker 4: really appreciate this because they definitely focus on that side of.
Speaker 2: Things for sure.
Speaker 3: And for me watching it plot twist weird. Al Yankovic
Speaker 3: is interviewed in it, I was just like, what I love,
Speaker 3: We're it out?
Speaker 2: I do as well.
Speaker 4: So I'm in just a few years ago here in
Speaker 4: Kansas City. So incredible show, So good you went.
Speaker 2: With the documentary.
Speaker 4: So I'm gonna move one of mine up so that
Speaker 4: we can talk about docs for a minute. And this
Speaker 4: is one that people are probably gonna scoff at this
Speaker 4: being called underrated, but I think this is one of
Speaker 4: the best things that Shutters has Shutters Shutter has ever
Speaker 4: made in house, and I think it's one of the
Speaker 4: more almost like required viewings from Shutter, and people still
Speaker 4: don't treat it as such, and so I really wanted
Speaker 4: to give a minute to horror noir. This is a
Speaker 4: documentary on the history excuse me, the history of black horror.
Speaker 4: And we get so many people that have been immersed
Speaker 4: in the scene for decades. I mean, you get stories
Speaker 4: from the set of classic films, You get stories of
Speaker 4: how people were treated behind the scenes, you get stories
Speaker 4: about how audiences were impacted by some of these films,
Speaker 4: finally getting representation, and they it's not just surface level
Speaker 4: stuff with black horror. I mean, it could have been
Speaker 4: forty five minutes about Get Out and forty five minutes
Speaker 4: of Circle jerking around night at a Living Dead, and
Speaker 4: it's not that.
Speaker 2: They truly like.
Speaker 4: You get a lot of love for Ganja and Hess,
Speaker 4: you get a lot of love for even like things
Speaker 4: that most of us know are incredible and like canon
Speaker 4: titles that you have to watch, like Tales from the Crypt,
Speaker 4: which obviously is a super influential title, but you get
Speaker 4: stuff behind the scenes of those things that we've never
Speaker 4: heard from you get people that made those films, that
Speaker 4: were in those films, that were influenced by those films
Speaker 4: to make their own films. And I think it's one
Speaker 4: of the more compelling watches of the documentaries that Shutters made.
Speaker 4: And they've made quite a few in house, and some
Speaker 4: fall a little flat. Some are a little on the
Speaker 4: I don't know, like hysterical side where they're trying to
Speaker 4: conjure more of a story than is actually a story
Speaker 4: behind some of the docks. But this is this is
Speaker 4: one of those ones where I can almost see like
Speaker 4: a really great sequel happening to this and just going
Speaker 4: through like the real deep indie horse side of black horror.
Speaker 2: And it's great. Everybody should watch. This is incredible.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I will say that there are a lot
Speaker 3: of portions where they're talking to Tanana Reeve Do and
Speaker 3: I could listen to her talk about horror all day, Yeah,
Speaker 3: all day.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean, Ernest Dickerson is great in this.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yes, it is.
Speaker 4: There's so many faces in this that immediately I'm like, God,
Speaker 4: I just want to take you for a coffee and
Speaker 4: then not like leave for four hours and make you
Speaker 4: tell me stories.
Speaker 3: Agreed.
Speaker 4: All right, Uh, since uh I listed one of mine earlier,
Speaker 4: why don't you do two in.
Speaker 2: A row now?
Speaker 3: Okay?
Speaker 4: Uh?
Speaker 3: My number three? Also still available on Shutter is an
Speaker 3: Indonesian film in Pedigore Nice Joko, an war film. So
Speaker 3: if anyone seems like Satan's Slaves or Satan Slaves Communion,
Speaker 3: or there were some other ones that I'm probably missing
Speaker 3: at the moment, im Pedigore is really good. So the
Speaker 3: way it starts out, it's a woman who's just working
Speaker 3: her job and some guy comes to try and kill her,
Speaker 3: who she doesn't even know who he is. Then there's
Speaker 3: something discovered on her person that creates a little bit
Speaker 3: of mystery. So she basically goes to a town to
Speaker 3: try and find out who she actually is. You know,
Speaker 3: who am I really type thing? And the town is
Speaker 3: kind of weird and it's very remote and things don't
Speaker 3: feel right, and you think you might know where this
Speaker 3: film is going, but you don't know where this film
Speaker 3: is going. And I was it's one of those films
Speaker 3: where at the end of it, when I first watched it,
Speaker 3: my jaw was on the floor. During one particular scene
Speaker 3: where it reveals some stuff, you definitely don't think is
Speaker 3: going to be revealed that kind of changes everything. And
Speaker 3: it's a shocking film. It's extremely well shot, it's extremely
Speaker 3: well acted. I don't know like anyone who's seen it
Speaker 3: pretty much except for people I told to watch it
Speaker 3: or made watch it, So you gotta check out. In Pedigor, Oh,
Speaker 3: Queen of Black Magic is another film that Joko on
Speaker 3: Where was involved with. He didn't direct that one, but
Speaker 3: phenomenal filmmaker, like he is like a very uh well
Speaker 3: thought of filmmaker in Indonesia, and you can see why
Speaker 3: with these films.
Speaker 2: So yeah, this is great. I will happily.
Speaker 4: Uh one of my long list of honorable mentions with
Speaker 4: Satan Slaves Joco is. I mean, he's one of those
Speaker 4: tour directors where you can tell he's very much got
Speaker 4: a style and uh, you can't really go wrong watching
Speaker 4: one of his films. So yeah, yeah, and Pedigor is great.
Speaker 4: Also had a disc release.
Speaker 2: I believe.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I don't feel like I have that.
Speaker 3: It's possible.
Speaker 2: It's bad that I can't remember.
Speaker 4: Yeah, in Pedagor, Yeah, it's got that's right, because it's
Speaker 4: got the the eyeball cover, yes, the dripping eyes whatever,
Speaker 4: It's on sale on Amazon right now for twelve bucks.
Speaker 4: So if you are curious about this, that's a great
Speaker 4: look at disc for twelve bucks.
Speaker 3: Or if you have Shutter, it's still there.
Speaker 2: There you go.
Speaker 4: Oh Josh met Joco met him in an elevator in
Speaker 4: Korea before a screening of Sitting.
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh. I hope he was. I hope he
Speaker 3: was as nice as I want him to be because
Speaker 3: his filmmaking is unbelievable, unbelievable.
Speaker 2: All right, sir, you're number two, all.
Speaker 3: Right, my number two. I believe this is a finish film.
Speaker 3: It is Dogs Don't Wear Pants And this one is
Speaker 3: still on shutter. Oh is this on your list too?
Speaker 4: On honorable mention I've talked about before, so I didn't
Speaker 4: want to go too in depth about it.
Speaker 2: But incredible. This is such an underrated movie.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so this one, this one really gave me a
Speaker 3: lot of feels. To be honest, It made me feel
Speaker 3: good in the end of the film. It made me
Speaker 3: feel vulnerable, emotional, bad at times. But it's basically about
Speaker 3: a guy who loses his wife in a drowning accident
Speaker 3: in the beginning, and it's about the fallout after that.
Speaker 3: Of him not feeling like he even knows who he
Speaker 3: is anymore, like what his life should be. And he
Speaker 3: has a daughter, so you know that relationship isn't working
Speaker 3: out too well at that point. But then he meets
Speaker 3: a dominatrix, and through the relationship he forges with this
Speaker 3: dominatrix in a very dominatrix way, he finds himself basically
Speaker 3: and finds what he needs in life, and it becomes
Speaker 3: kind of touching in a really messed up way. But
Speaker 3: there is a scene in this film in particular that
Speaker 3: speaks to if you let certain scenes just breathe just
Speaker 3: go on a little bit longer, it'll hit a different way.
Speaker 3: And it's a scene it's very early on. It's after he,
Speaker 3: you know, some time after he had lost his wife.
Speaker 3: He's in the bedroom, laying on the bed and he's
Speaker 3: masturbating with his wife's underwear on his face. And at
Speaker 3: first it just looks so goofy and funny, and it's like, oh, dude,
Speaker 3: there's this dude whacking off with underwear on his face.
Speaker 3: But then they stick with it and then he starts
Speaker 3: breaking down and crying and then you're like, oh my gosh, no,
Speaker 3: this is so sad, like he misses her. He's trying
Speaker 3: to like still have some like bit of her around,
Speaker 3: like and he just can't. Like it's just it's too much,
Speaker 3: I mean powerful filmmaking, honestly.
Speaker 2: So I love this movie.
Speaker 4: This was on my honorable mention list, like I said,
Speaker 4: But the big thing I think that's a problem here
Speaker 4: is that the dominatrix aspect of the story is like
Speaker 4: the main thing that the marketing for this film has
Speaker 4: always focused on. And we are in a very weird
Speaker 4: time in the last five seven years where we are
Speaker 4: seeing especially younger filmmakers get more and more prudish, which
Speaker 4: I don't understand in a way, but also really sucks
Speaker 4: because stuff like this that you know, like sexploitation films
Speaker 4: used to exist because you could sell out theaters by
Speaker 4: simply saying this is a sex film. And funny enough,
Speaker 4: like a third of the time there wasn't sex and
Speaker 4: the sex film, which they weren't sex films, but this
Speaker 4: movie is. It's kind of the opposite side of that, Like, yeah,
Speaker 4: there is this seedy nature to some of the things
Speaker 4: that we're talking about, but it's also just like real
Speaker 4: life aspect of people being into these things, and I
Speaker 4: think there's a lot of people that have been turned
Speaker 4: off simply by the poster or the crew or the synopsis,
Speaker 4: and when you know, I don't want to watch that,
Speaker 4: and if they did, they would probably love this fucking
Speaker 4: movie because it's amazing.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I can't remember if I first saw that that was
Speaker 4: not a word, ORST saw this on shutter or I
Speaker 4: think the way I first originally found it was it
Speaker 4: was actually released on Blu Ray in the UK first
Speaker 4: by Anti Worlds, which is essentially a sister company of Indicator,
Speaker 4: and they do mostly modern films, and they released this
Speaker 4: and I was the opp away because at heart of
Speaker 4: a freak, I guess I just showed Nakatsu titles and stuff.
Speaker 4: I saw this one, Oh, I have to watch this
Speaker 4: like any company willing to put out a new film
Speaker 4: that this is the marketing is one that I want
Speaker 4: to support, and then fell in love with the emotional
Speaker 4: aspect of this film. It is such a I don't know,
Speaker 4: it's a weird reverse take on like the history of sexploitation,
Speaker 4: where it sure it's one of the main reasons that
Speaker 4: I was interested in supporting it, but then it was
Speaker 4: the opposite that won me over. It was everything about
Speaker 4: this that was just so tender that I appreciated, And
Speaker 4: as somebody that is very happily married to a woman
Speaker 4: that I've loved for most of my life, I you know,
Speaker 4: could not possibly express how much this movie hurts to
Speaker 4: like the you know, relevant in your life and put
Speaker 4: yourself in somebody else's shoes and find that empathy machine
Speaker 4: that that Ebert so famously referenced. This movie's a masterpiece
Speaker 4: and doesn't get talked about enough.
Speaker 3: Yeah and yeah to kind of what you were saying. Like,
Speaker 3: for me, the biggest strength of this film is turning
Speaker 3: out to be something I didn't expect it to be.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Josh says, I had to buy the US DVD
Speaker 4: of Dogs Don't Wear Pants because I had a quote
Speaker 4: from my review on the cover that isn't on any
Speaker 4: other edition.
Speaker 2: Nice, I mean, yeah, you should have that, Josh. Good job.
Speaker 4: That's not vain, that's just pride. So my number two
Speaker 4: this is noodles. I've wanted to do this for so long,
Speaker 4: but it takes so much to prepare to be able
Speaker 4: to show a poster of each of the movies. My
Speaker 4: number two is a weird one because just like the Furies.
Speaker 4: This is not one that I even now think about
Speaker 4: as loving. But I think this movie took such a
Speaker 4: unique swing that I don't even remember people talking about
Speaker 4: this movie when I first got released, and I hope
Speaker 4: you liked it. Twenty nineteen saw.
Speaker 2: The release of The Beach House.
Speaker 4: This movie is so interesting because it's not I don't know,
Speaker 4: there's nothing like majorly compelling about the story. The acting
Speaker 4: is not like the best you've ever seen, the script
Speaker 4: is not astounding, but there is specifically this chunk of
Speaker 4: the film that is so surreal and unique in the
Speaker 4: way that they show it visually that I knew I
Speaker 4: had to put this on the list as well. It's
Speaker 4: one of those that I will attest that when I
Speaker 4: first started this film, I was not fully engaged in it,
Speaker 4: and when this scene happened, it was one of those
Speaker 4: put everything down and sit forward and just let it
Speaker 4: wash over you moments that I will probably never forget
Speaker 4: that about this movie, which is saying a lot.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 4: I mentioned a few minutes ago that Shutter has done
Speaker 4: so many films that I just watch and then forget immediately.
Speaker 2: This was not one of those movies.
Speaker 4: And again I don't even love it, but it will
Speaker 4: stick with me for so long because that one specific
Speaker 4: chunk of the film I don't know that I've seen
Speaker 4: much like it, Like it felt like it got very
Speaker 4: like color out of Space for ample minus with this film.
Speaker 4: And I love that side of the Lovecraft world that
Speaker 4: not a lot of people can grasp visually, and the
Speaker 4: filmmaker's behind this truly did a wonderful job with it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I kind of pin this as like low budget
Speaker 3: love Craft, and the scene with the foot in particular
Speaker 3: like really kind of hit people for anyone who watched it.
Speaker 3: And it's really funny because leading up to this, when
Speaker 3: I was working on my list, I was talking to
Speaker 3: my best friend and he was like, I told him
Speaker 3: what the topic was, and he goes like, are you
Speaker 3: gonna put on the Beach House? And I was just
Speaker 3: like no, because I didn't love it that much. But yes,
Speaker 3: it is underrated and pretty solid.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and even if you're only seeing it to appreciate
Speaker 4: that it's not a scene, I guess it's like I
Speaker 4: don't even remember how long it was because I was
Speaker 4: lost in it. But yeah, the movie's not amazing and
Speaker 4: you're not gonna after it, sit down and go, dang,
Speaker 4: this is a four an AFTAR film or anything, but
Speaker 4: you're going to really appreciate the filmmaking style there, all right,
Speaker 4: most underrated film on your list, sir.
Speaker 3: Okay, it's another documentary. It is free right now on
Speaker 3: TV and Pluto TV, so you can check it out there.
Speaker 3: And it is Scream Queen My Nightmare on Elm Street.
Speaker 2: Such a good doc very.
Speaker 3: Important viewing in my opinion. It's it's the documentary about
Speaker 3: Nightmare on Elm Street Too that everyone hated because it
Speaker 3: was too gay, But it was about about Mark Patten,
Speaker 3: who starred in it, and how it kind of really
Speaker 3: ruined his life, but then how he grew to reclaim
Speaker 3: his life and confronting people involved in you know, making
Speaker 3: the film what it was without telling people what it
Speaker 3: was supposed to be and putting him in a really
Speaker 3: awkward and tough, like life threatening situation. Really, it's very emotional.
Speaker 3: I cried watching this documentary like a few times. But
Speaker 3: it's very well put together. It's a very emotional and
Speaker 3: educational viewing, and it changes the context of what the
Speaker 3: film itself is. Night Mare and Elm Street too. Another
Speaker 3: thing I need to throw in here tied to this,
Speaker 3: and I didn't choose it as my number one because
Speaker 3: of this. But Mark Patton is currently going through a
Speaker 3: lot of health issues and there is a go fund
Speaker 3: me that is up that I think his sister put
Speaker 3: up for him that if you feel like you have
Speaker 3: some extra change to throw that way, you can just
Speaker 3: google Mark Patten go fundme. It'll come up pretty quickly.
Speaker 3: So yeah, but definitely watch the documentary. Definitely.
Speaker 4: So yes, this documentary is a masterpiece and incredibly important.
Speaker 4: One of the things that I really wanted to point
Speaker 4: out here, which not a lot of people are probably
Speaker 4: gonna love to hear. Actually, if you've been immersed in
Speaker 4: like the horror scene for years, I think this is
Speaker 4: required viewing for anybody that loves horror and goes to
Speaker 4: like conventions and stuff, because it sort of it sort
Speaker 4: of reveals that underneath a very on the surface accepting
Speaker 4: pool of people that's all about the like, we're all
Speaker 4: different and unique and we just want the weirdos to
Speaker 4: come in and love it. Horror historically, at its core,
Speaker 4: has been controlled by a lot of people that are homophobic,
Speaker 4: that are racists, that are very sexist, and this documentary
Speaker 4: has perfectly shown how that mindset can literally ruin somebody's
Speaker 4: life in a movie that should have been beloved. And
Speaker 4: I've loved Nightmare Elm Street two the entire time. I
Speaker 4: think it's got some of the more out there visuals
Speaker 4: from this franchise.
Speaker 2: For sure.
Speaker 4: I think this is other than the incredible Never Sleep Again.
Speaker 4: This is the only other part that should be required
Speaker 4: viewing with somebody that is like discovering a Nightmare on
Speaker 4: Elm Street before. But the worst part about this is
Speaker 4: the hypocrisy behind the scene that this really shines a
Speaker 4: light on, because people just being flippant about certain things
Speaker 4: have literally ruined a man's career that he had a
Speaker 4: lot of potential in so many different fields, and he
Speaker 4: wouldn't be in this dire situation possibly that he is
Speaker 4: in now if he had lived a completely different life
Speaker 4: following this film, and that is depressing and really telling
Speaker 4: about why the country is in this political situation that
Speaker 4: we've been in over the last few years. Because most
Speaker 4: of these niche within a niche groups that we find
Speaker 4: ourselves in. Many of us love a certain genre and
Speaker 4: we find friends or physical media and we get into
Speaker 4: these sure on the surface, they're really great. But then
Speaker 4: a lot of these small groups have really terrible people
Speaker 4: at the heart of it. And that's why things like
Speaker 4: the Me Too movement are so fucking important because it
Speaker 4: totally puts the spotlight on the terrible behavior to root
Speaker 4: it out so that we don't have to have that
Speaker 4: ruining things from the inside out, which is where things
Speaker 4: like a Nightmare on Elm Street two have been just
Speaker 4: completely tarnished by a reputation that never should have existed.
Speaker 3: Yeah, agreed. And if people want to see a later
Speaker 3: acting role of Mark Patten that was only a few
Speaker 3: years ago, the film Swallowed. It's not a great it
Speaker 3: might still be on shutter. Actually it's not a great film,
Speaker 3: but Mark Patten's role in it, Yeah, in so enjoyable.
Speaker 3: What Mark Patten does. Mark Patten is the reason to
Speaker 3: watch that film straight up, because just you could tell
Speaker 3: he was having a great time with that role and
Speaker 3: it's yeah, it's great.
Speaker 4: So this feels a little underwhelming following all of that.
Speaker 4: But my most underrated film. I feel like the people
Speaker 4: that are super deep into horror know all about this,
Speaker 4: but the people that are like, I'm going to see
Speaker 4: what it's recommended to me on Netflix today and call
Speaker 4: of today, because that's the best thing I'll see. That
Speaker 4: crowd is not watching this and that sucks. And this
Speaker 4: is an obvious choice. Most of you have probably seen it,
Speaker 4: but I just really want to keep a ton of
Speaker 4: praise on what is sadly completely underrated twenty twenty two's
Speaker 4: original Speak No Evil.
Speaker 2: God.
Speaker 4: This is a movie that got a US remake last
Speaker 4: year starring James McVoy that I'm gonna be honest, it
Speaker 4: surprised me that I liked it as much.
Speaker 2: As I did.
Speaker 3: It's pretty good.
Speaker 4: McAvoy is incredible in it. The ending has no teeth,
Speaker 4: but we knew it wasn't going to. The sad reality
Speaker 4: is it didn't need to exist. This film is astonishing
Speaker 4: in what it pulls off, again with a film that
Speaker 4: pretty much needed no budget. They just needed a couple
Speaker 4: fun locations and a really great script. This is a
Speaker 4: film that is a fairly unique story about a family
Speaker 4: going on vacation. They make friends with another family and
Speaker 4: they get invited to this random place in the middle
Speaker 4: of nowhere, and because they are now placed in a
Speaker 4: vulnerable situation, they get screwed in a lot of different ways.
Speaker 4: Because they keep trying to please the people they're with.
Speaker 4: And there's a couple situations in this movie that are
Speaker 4: so relatable that it hurts when it comes to somebody
Speaker 4: that is a natural people pleaser. One of them in
Speaker 4: this film in particular, that I don't believe was in
Speaker 4: the remake because I don't remember it being there is
Speaker 4: the adults go on a dinner date with the hosts
Speaker 4: and there's a portion where they are turning the radio
Speaker 4: up too loud, and the couple that is staying with
Speaker 4: this couple just sort of deals with it, even though
Speaker 4: they're very uncomfortable by that. That alone shows the host
Speaker 4: family you can do whatever the fuck you want because
Speaker 4: they're not gonna be able to say no to them.
Speaker 4: This has one of the just most I don't really
Speaker 4: want to say out of nowhere, because the film itself
Speaker 4: overall is pretty intentional with the way that they display
Speaker 4: certain things, but the ending is still shocking and take
Speaker 4: things up a notch that is again completely unexpected for
Speaker 4: what is essentially politeness a tragedy the movie, and uh yeah,
Speaker 4: I still like I will never forget the first time
Speaker 4: I watched that movie and the ending just let me
Speaker 4: slack job and completely like, holy fuck, if this was
Speaker 4: a film from the US, they never would have been
Speaker 4: able to do this. And then that got proven right
Speaker 4: like the remake, if you wanted to remake this, you
Speaker 4: had to have an identical ending to make it just
Speaker 4: as shocking, and instead they did the cliche like there's
Speaker 4: a couple fires around the area and we're rescuing somebody
Speaker 4: from a poll a bullshit that shouldn't have existed, and
Speaker 4: all of the bite of the first film, pun intended,
Speaker 4: is lost, and goddamn, the end of that first movie
Speaker 4: will leave you just completely, I don't know, you feel
Speaker 4: so depressed after you get done with this movie in
Speaker 4: a very good way, that yeah, this is completely underrated,
Speaker 4: and people that have never seen this because it's a
Speaker 4: foreign film, or never seen this because there's.
Speaker 2: A US remake, I can just watch that one.
Speaker 4: Yeah, will only depress me, probably even more than the
Speaker 4: ending of the original, which is shocking, because it's really depressing.
Speaker 3: Yeah. So I did quite like this film the original,
Speaker 3: and I also did like, to a certain degree, the remake.
Speaker 3: I actually saw the remake at a drive in theater.
Speaker 3: It was the second feature after the original PHANFASM Yes.
Speaker 2: And so fun night.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was a good night. So my wife, who's
Speaker 3: not in horror but was with me, she stayed up
Speaker 3: through Phantasm and she's like, I'm going to go to
Speaker 3: sleep for Speak No Evil. But she started watching it
Speaker 3: and she couldn't go to sleep because it was so riveting,
Speaker 3: and she was like, oh, so she I had told
Speaker 3: her ahead of time that like, this is a remake.
Speaker 3: I saw the remake. It was on shutter and I said,
Speaker 3: going into Hi'm like, I guarantee the ending is not
Speaker 3: going to be the same because they would never, ever,
Speaker 3: ever ever do this ending in the United States.
Speaker 4: Especially James macavoy. If it was like a no name actor,
Speaker 4: there might have been a small chance.
Speaker 3: Yeah. So throughout the movie, she kept asking me, was
Speaker 3: that in the in the original? Was that in the original?
Speaker 3: And then at the end after it was done, and
Speaker 3: she was like, oh that was good. We're driving away
Speaker 3: and I was telling her, Okay, well this is what
Speaker 3: the actual ending was, and she was like, oh, I'm
Speaker 3: glad it wasn't that, and I was just like, I
Speaker 3: was like, it's so bleak. Yeah. But like, like I
Speaker 3: explained to her, what I like in films is when
Speaker 3: the film makes me feel things I don't want to feel, Yes,
Speaker 3: because that it's uncomfortable and it challenges you, and it
Speaker 3: shows you that the filmmaker knows how to manipulate your emotions,
Speaker 3: which is what filmmaking should be.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I agree, it sounds weird to call this one underrated,
Speaker 4: but I feel like it's still somehow just underseen. And
Speaker 4: I guess maybe that's a weird distinguishing word to make here,
Speaker 4: because it's for most people that have seen it, it
Speaker 4: is pretty highly lauded, but the vast majority of people
Speaker 4: just have never given it an opportunity for a multitude
Speaker 4: of reasons. The reality is Dutch films like this rarely
Speaker 4: get proper distribution, and we're lucky that this was on Shutter.
Speaker 4: This still does not have an English friendly High Death release.
Speaker 2: I think it has an.
Speaker 4: English friendly DVD overseas if I remember right. But like,
Speaker 4: this is a movie that deserves to be seen in
Speaker 4: HD and properly, you know, subtitled with like a couple
Speaker 4: extras to give it some context and explain the tension
Speaker 4: behind this movie and the unnecessary just feelings that when
Speaker 4: you watch this movie you feel disgusting in a couple
Speaker 4: of scenes and wonder why that you are the way
Speaker 4: that you are. Yeah, Yeah, any other shutter titles you
Speaker 4: want to throw out?
Speaker 3: No, but I thought you had maybe a few more on.
Speaker 4: I do have a couple others, and I'll pull up
Speaker 4: a couple here. And of course I closed the tab
Speaker 4: right before one. One big one that is about to
Speaker 4: get some more praise that I think is probably a
Speaker 4: little less underrated, which is why I didn't make the
Speaker 4: full list. But Hellbender, I really loved it. Is from
Speaker 4: the Adams family. They've done a hand on more than
Speaker 4: a handful now, they've done like nine or ten films
Speaker 4: together or something like that. I think it's very good
Speaker 4: about to get a really great looking arrow release. I
Speaker 4: had to pre order this one because I love a
Speaker 4: really good witchy story and this is another group that
Speaker 4: kind of like I did with two or three of
Speaker 4: mine tonight, I highlighted the fact that low budget doesn't
Speaker 4: have to mean low and I feel like the Adams
Speaker 4: family is like the definition of doing that with every
Speaker 4: single project they touch.
Speaker 2: This is good stuff.
Speaker 4: If you like which movies, Hellbender is a must, you
Speaker 4: will probably appreciate it. Another one, and I've named probably
Speaker 4: three or four others so this is probably five, so
Speaker 4: I'll stop here. But Scare Me is another one that
Speaker 4: didn't get a lot of attention. I you know, having
Speaker 4: interviewed for the channel Josh Rubin, this is one of
Speaker 4: the things that I saw because it had Josh Ruben
Speaker 4: attached to it, and I expected it to be pretty bad,
Speaker 4: and it surprised me.
Speaker 2: It is not terrible.
Speaker 4: It certainly isn't the highest quality thing the Shutters ever
Speaker 4: put out by a country mile, but it's fun.
Speaker 2: It's a good time.
Speaker 4: And another one that I feel like gets unnecessary hate,
Speaker 4: So I think kind of falls squarely in the underrated
Speaker 4: category on this one.
Speaker 3: Agreed. Oh and going back to the Hellbender one, I
Speaker 3: thought I thought that was a solid film. I liked
Speaker 3: their film where the Devil Roams a lot more than
Speaker 3: I will say.
Speaker 4: I like The Deeper You Dig even more. And I
Speaker 4: don't think that one was a Shutter original, So I
Speaker 4: couldn't include that. This has been really fun. I mean,
Speaker 4: Shutters had such a deep catalog was this was tough
Speaker 4: to narrow down for me.
Speaker 2: I'm sure you had some struggle struggles on that bus too.
Speaker 3: Yeah, at one point my list was like thirty five,
Speaker 3: forty movies, so I had to whittle that down. It
Speaker 3: was tough.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that is pretty telling that you can have that
Speaker 4: many high quality releases that you can list as underrated.
Speaker 4: That you've done pretty good over the years. That being said,
Speaker 4: ten years is a long time to put stuff out,
Speaker 4: and Shutter has been mostly consistent over that time.
Speaker 2: That being said, there's been a lot.
Speaker 4: Of dogshit titles too, I will be happily honest about that.
Speaker 3: The Scary of sixty first, Oh my god.
Speaker 2: Hate that movie. Absolutely hate that movie. Carlin, thanks for
Speaker 2: doing this. This has been a really fun episode.
Speaker 4: I hope people go subscribe to your channel and follow
Speaker 4: you on Letterbox.
Speaker 2: Go look up Carling Cook. Anything else you want to
Speaker 2: shout out for tonight.
Speaker 3: I do just want to say, like, if you are
Speaker 3: struggling with mental health issues, reach out to people. I
Speaker 3: like to kind of throw the stuff out there and
Speaker 3: I talk about it sometimes on my channel because I
Speaker 3: personally went through some really tough mental health struggles no
Speaker 3: surprise during COVID that's when the wheels fell off. But
Speaker 3: I then realized I had been dealing with anxiety kind
Speaker 3: of all my life to a certain degree, So you know, anxiety, depression,
Speaker 3: or whatever you're dealing with. You're not alone. You're not
Speaker 3: the only person who's ever gone through it, even though
Speaker 3: you will feel very alone at times. So definitely reach out,
Speaker 3: don't do anything drastic or anything, and let's be there
Speaker 3: to support each other. Be open to hearing from other people,
Speaker 3: checking on other people. So mental health is important.
Speaker 2: Even for the two of us.
Speaker 4: I think that we are some of the people that
Speaker 4: I would strongly recommend reaching out too. Specifically, you feel
Speaker 4: like you have nobody else seen you be responsive to
Speaker 4: other people in comments and stuff. I hope most people
Speaker 4: will understand by now that if you message me anywhere,
Speaker 4: I pretty much will always respond, sometimes shockingly fast, because
Speaker 4: I also have mental health problems and I feel like
Speaker 4: I'm letting you down if I don't. But that being said,
Speaker 4: we're all here, and I think that this community has
Speaker 4: turned into something special and I'm grateful for you being a.
Speaker 2: Part of it.
Speaker 3: Thank you for having me on. I was overjoyed when
Speaker 3: you asked me to be on. I really was, and
Speaker 3: I'd come back again. I would do it for sure.
Speaker 2: All right, we'll have you back. Thanks God.
