Speaker 2: Okay, so before we get into our first award, really
Speaker 2: wanted to shout out tonight that the show this year
Speaker 2: is all the dedication to Lee Gambon, who we lost
Speaker 2: last May. The last time that we did this in February,
Speaker 2: Lee was once again in the comments as we were live,
Speaker 2: championing how great this was and wishing that we could
Speaker 2: do it over and over and over again. In fact,
Speaker 2: if you go back and watch last year's you see
Speaker 2: him ask if we can do it every six months,
Speaker 2: and I say, God, know, that is so much work.
Speaker 2: But Lee himself is the one that got me into
Speaker 2: this industry, so I have to say thank you to him.
Speaker 2: He was an incredible person who I think about often
Speaker 2: and just honored to be able to do this in
Speaker 2: his name tonight. And on that note, I think it's
Speaker 2: time that we bring in our first award.
Speaker 9: Hello.
Speaker 5: I'm Chris O'Neil.
Speaker 10: I am a filmmaker who has contributed several video essays
Speaker 10: and audio commentaries to various physical media releases, and I
Speaker 10: am also the cinema programmer here of the Triscal Art

Speaker 10: and the winner as voted by the community is Hickson
Speaker 10: by Radiance Films.
Speaker 12: Yeah, I mean, you know, I never really think about
Speaker 12: these things in advance. At anytime there's a win, it's
Speaker 12: a great surprise, you know. And obviously we poured a
Speaker 12: lot of love into Hackson, and yeah, I'm glad that
Speaker 12: people have appreciated it, and and you know, all the
Speaker 12: hard worker is kind of being rewarded in a way.
Speaker 12: It was it was a bit of a different one
Speaker 12: for us because it was our first silent film, so
Speaker 12: it may have bought some people by surprise, but you know,
Speaker 12: we're fans of all kinds of cinema at Radiance and
Speaker 12: hopefully the first of many silent three years.
Speaker 13: So yeah, it's an honor to receive the award.
Speaker 14: Thank you very much.
Speaker 2: All right, congratulations to Radiance. Got Hackson right here, incredible
Speaker 2: look and release. This is a good time to be
Speaker 2: able to share with everybody that in each category we're
Speaker 2: gonna have two winters to night. One is from the
Speaker 2: Creator Selection Committee, which is essentially our version of the Academy.
Speaker 2: We've got a bunch of creators that are YouTuber's podcasters,
Speaker 2: people from these labels, filmmakers, people that you would be
Speaker 2: pretty surprised to hear are wanting to be involved in this,
Speaker 2: but I'm so stoked that they would want to do it.
Speaker 2: So you are going to see a lot of really
Speaker 2: great things picked on by them. So essentially they're picking
Speaker 2: what they want and then the community you all also
Speaker 2: got to pick as well. So in every single category
Speaker 2: we're gonna have two winners. Silent film is a really
Speaker 2: overlooked one, so I'm glad that we can shine a
Speaker 2: light on that. Any thoughts on Hackson or the Louis
Speaker 2: fuiad release there, Michelle, So Hackson.
Speaker 3: I didn't pick up because I like already had a
Speaker 3: release and I'm trying to not double dip on things.
Speaker 3: But it's a fantastic movie. I mean, if I already
Speaker 3: didn't have it, I would have totally got that set
Speaker 3: because it's beautiful. So yeah, definitely deserve that one, for sure.
Speaker 2: It absolutely did. But also the exact opposite of silent
Speaker 2: films is contemporary suiting films. And to that we go
Speaker 2: to one of my favorite people, my dear friend, mister
Speaker 2: Jeremy Long.

Speaker 2: I wish I would have done the same. Yes, although
Speaker 2: I won't be too upset. We'll see what they can do.
Speaker 3: With it different extras.
Speaker 2: Anyways, you got a history of Nightmaray and Elm Street.
Speaker 2: When's the first time you watched that one?
Speaker 3: Gosh, when I was a kid, that was one of
Speaker 3: the horror movies that I watched with my dad. We
Speaker 3: watched like pretty much everyone that came out until we'll
Speaker 3: be like, you know, after my parents got force, obviously
Speaker 3: I adn't seem as much. But yeah, especially Dream Warrior.
Speaker 3: That was the one we watched together all the time,
Speaker 3: we had it on tape. And yeah, so that's still
Speaker 3: my favorite one too, is the third one. So if
Speaker 3: they throw a four K out of that one, I
Speaker 3: will buy that immediately.
Speaker 2: In a heartbeat. We are going to do one more
Speaker 2: award before our first giveaway, so everybody get ready for that.
Speaker 2: When we do giveaways tonight, We're going to have to

Speaker 2: after we do this award, though, Let's go over to
Speaker 2: Dustin with Best Animation Release.
Speaker 9: Tape.
Speaker 15: Oh Hi, I'm Dustin Putman, physical media enthusiast, author of
Speaker 15: The Front File, two time guests of Reconnected, and film
Speaker 15: critic to literally thousands of reviews at the film file
Speaker 15: dot com.
Speaker 5: I'm so pleased to be here today to present.
Speaker 15: The twenty twenty five Shelf Shock Rewind Award for Best
Speaker 15: Animation Release. Animation is a medium in which, quite literally
Speaker 15: anything could be made possible, the only limit being the
Speaker 15: imagination of the artists involved, and it is because of
Speaker 15: this that it's one of my favorite categories. The nominees
Speaker 15: for Best Animation Release are.
Speaker 11: The Boy and the Heron four K Steelbook from Shout Studios,
Speaker 11: Fella Day four K DEF, Crocodile Tamla twenty ten, A
Speaker 11: Punk Cat in Space def Crocodile Transformers one, four K Steelbook,
Speaker 11: Paramount Pictures, The Wild Robot four K from Universal Studios.
Speaker 15: Oh, it seems like the cats might have already gotten
Speaker 15: into the envelope.
Speaker 23: Hello everybody, my name is Honam, and I borrowed Danny's
Speaker 23: phone to announce the winner for both the community vote
Speaker 23: and the Creator's Selection Commity vote, the award goes to
Speaker 23: Fella Day four K. Congratulations to def Crocodile for this
Speaker 23: tacastic release.
Speaker 11: By now.
Speaker 24: That that honestly surprises me, given the other titles that
Speaker 24: were in the in the the running, I mean, I'm
Speaker 24: glad it was, you know, obviously my favorite and anxiously
Speaker 24: waiting for this disc to come out for so long,
Speaker 24: So that's that's awesome. When I saw the nominations list,
Speaker 24: I'm like, oh, well, it's nice to be nominated.
Speaker 25: Honestly for the director, Michael Shack, for Paul Boulder, for
Speaker 25: all of the incredible members of the animation team who
Speaker 25: supported this release.
Speaker 6: So happy.
Speaker 25: You know, this movie really kind of slipped between the
Speaker 25: cracks when it came out.
Speaker 6: It never got an official.
Speaker 25: Release in the US. And it's such a dark, amazing
Speaker 25: kind of combination of a cult thriller film noir detective
Speaker 25: story with cats and catacombs and skeletons and all sorts
Speaker 25: of crazy stuff. And even given the insane world we
Speaker 25: find ourselves in right now. It's got a very kind
Speaker 25: of prescient sort of socio political message as well about
Speaker 25: ethnic cleansing. Not to give any spoilers away, but I
Speaker 25: think it's a good moment for people to watch Felladay
Speaker 25: and kind of pay attention to what it's saying. So
Speaker 25: I'm so happy. It took a long time to get
Speaker 25: this one released. Was not easy, So I'm so happy
Speaker 25: that people are appreciating the work of Michael Shack and
Speaker 25: his credible team of artists and animators, and I think
Speaker 25: they're super excited that this film that they clearly put
Speaker 25: a ton of creativity and love and passion into. You know,
Speaker 25: it's taken more than thirty years, but finally people are
Speaker 25: coming around to appreciating it the way they love Watership
Speaker 25: Down or The Plague Dogs, or a lot of other
Speaker 25: animated films that were clearly made for an adult audience.
Speaker 6: You know, which is which is tough? Which is tough.
Speaker 25: Apparently when the film came out, they sort of marketed
Speaker 25: it in Germany for kids, and I can't even imagine
Speaker 25: being a kid at that time going to see Feladay.
Speaker 2: All right, here is Peladay four K an incredible release.
Speaker 2: I had some people asking earlier where the good doctor
Speaker 2: was Doctor Will Doddson. He's on this release. Go check
Speaker 2: out the commentary. He and I discuss this film and
Speaker 2: it's a it's a really great release, incredible film. One
Speaker 2: thing that we don't get a chance to honor during
Speaker 2: these a lot is indie studios. We get a lot
Speaker 2: of places like Scream Team Releasing or independent filmmakers that
Speaker 2: put out their own films. So like this year, one
Speaker 2: of the big ones was Chris biggles Potter Noster and
Speaker 2: The Mission of Light. This is an incredible one. Everybody
Speaker 2: should go check this out. But Scream Team Releasing, like
Speaker 2: I said, is an indie studio and they've got this
Speaker 2: release Close Calls. This is gonna be our first giveaway
Speaker 2: of the nights. Michelle, why don't you go ahead and
Speaker 2: announce that giveaway?
Speaker 3: All right? So the trivia question for Close Calls from
Speaker 3: Scream Team Releasing is what was Close Calls director Richard
Speaker 3: Stringham's day job before becoming a writer and director.
Speaker 2: And now we'll let you go look that up. Why
Speaker 2: don't we repeat that one?
Speaker 3: Just know that off the top of their head. For sure,
Speaker 3: nobody would cheat and look that up. At all.
Speaker 2: First of all, that gets it is going to win. Promise.
Speaker 2: Indie studios and indie film is a big deal. Everybody
Speaker 2: should check those out. Things like Kickstarter and indie Gogo
Speaker 2: are home to some of the future actors that you'll
Speaker 2: see in years that are making indie horror that are
Speaker 2: oh good god, these comments are hilarious. Hey Jack Cane,
Speaker 2: you are our winner for tonight. Please go ahead and
Speaker 2: send your address to Shelfshockrewind at gmail dot com. I
Speaker 2: will get this out to you this week and thank
Speaker 2: you for trying. Everybody that said deep fry cook or
Speaker 2: porn fluffer. Uh sorry, maybe next time. All right, So
Speaker 2: that is our first giveaway. But that brings us to
Speaker 2: a pretty dang big category, and that is best Martial
Speaker 2: Arts Release, which has been ramping up in competition over
Speaker 2: the last few years with a huge number of titles.
Speaker 2: Let's see what we can check out for best Martial
Speaker 2: Arts Release, everybody.
Speaker 26: This is Kala from Kaleb's Kung Fu Cinema. First off,
Speaker 26: I want to thank Ryan and Michelle for asking me
Speaker 26: to be a presenter on this year's Shelf Shock Rewind Awards.
Speaker 26: For those of who do not know me, I am
Speaker 26: a host for a YouTube channel called Kalbs Kung Fu Cinema.
Speaker 26: I've been doing that for about five years now, and
Speaker 26: I really just use this channel to talk about things
Speaker 26: that I love, which are martial arts movies and other
Speaker 26: action movies. And I also like to document my ever
Speaker 26: growing collection of Blu Rays.
Speaker 6: DVDs and the like.
Speaker 26: But enough about me, Yes, today, I am here to
Speaker 26: present the award for Best Martial Arts Release. Obviously, there
Speaker 26: are many releases that came out the previous year that

Speaker 3: these movies have been so hard to find. There are
Speaker 3: like all bootlegs, Like that's all I got rid of,
Speaker 3: like all my bootlegs because of this release. Like how
Speaker 3: cool is this? This is like we're living in a
Speaker 3: golden age. Guys, appreciate it right now because the hell.
Speaker 2: It's a pretty impossible release and the fact that it's
Speaker 2: volume one huge deal.
Speaker 3: I do want to give a little bit more of
Speaker 3: a shout out to be a Terminator because I fucking
Speaker 3: love this movie so hard and this release is incredible.
Speaker 3: Like if you like Ninja Terminator, this is the release
Speaker 3: to get. And I had the original movie that like
Speaker 3: they stole parts of to like combine it into to
Speaker 3: make Ninja t It's just this release is fantastic, so
Speaker 3: like I'm just giving this, I'm just giving it a
Speaker 3: little extra love. You know, I didn't win, but it
Speaker 3: won in my heart.
Speaker 2: Okay, Well, even then, Neon Eagle Video does not get
Speaker 2: enough attention. The titles that they're putting out are really fun.
Speaker 2: They sell out very quickly.
Speaker 26: There.
Speaker 2: They're doing great work, mostly under the guys of Jared
Speaker 2: Honor who's also from Mondo Micabro. Great curation, really good time.
Speaker 2: Martial arts a major Heyday right now through home video
Speaker 2: of course, and really maybe only second to horror, which
Speaker 2: seems to win no matter what. That's always the big
Speaker 2: release that people love is anything related to horror slashers.

Speaker 7: to get to peckan Pause, original vision original cut for
Speaker 7: this movie. Next up is The Conversation from Lionsgate Limited.
Speaker 7: This thing is just a beast. This is one movie,
Speaker 7: and yeah, it has a tape in here of the soundtrack.
Speaker 7: It features Laurent Duro's artwork. It's just gorgeous. Next up
Speaker 7: is Rolling Thunder from Shout Studios. This is one of
Speaker 7: my favorite movies, and yeah, Jackson Stewart and I actually
Speaker 7: did a commentary track on this thing. I promise that's
Speaker 7: not why I chose it. It really is one of
Speaker 7: my favorite movies and it's a beautiful transfer. But if
Speaker 7: you want to listen to Jackson and I just kind
Speaker 7: of geek out about this thing for the entire runtime,
Speaker 7: there it is. Next up is Opera from seven and forte. Again,
Speaker 7: just a beautiful release and it's our gentle it it's finest.
Speaker 7: So that's in there. And last is Cannibal the Musical
Speaker 7: from Benninger Syndrome to Gosser Video. I've been waiting for
Speaker 7: this for so long. I'm such a big fan of
Speaker 7: Matt and Trey and just everything they do. There's in
Speaker 7: the booklet, there's an essay from Walter Shaw. I'm just
Speaker 7: so happy if this thing exists anyway. So those are
Speaker 7: my five picks. Thank you so much for having me.
Speaker 7: I hope you all enjoyed the rest of the Nichel
Speaker 7: Shock Relined Awards, and yeah, go Physical Media. Thanks so much.
Speaker 2: If you would have told me two years ago when
Speaker 2: we were doing this for the first time, that the
Speaker 2: director of one of my favorite movies of last year
Speaker 2: was going to be sharing his favorite picks on the show,
Speaker 2: I would have laughed so hard at you.
Speaker 3: And he picked some good stuff. I had that Rolling
Speaker 3: Thunder set. It is a great set. That was actually
Speaker 3: the first time I watched the movie as well, so
Speaker 3: and it's fantastic film.
Speaker 2: Very dark, sure is, and it's one of the better
Speaker 2: transfer Shout has worked on the last couple of years,
Speaker 2: that's for sure. Yeah, look great, all right. One area
Speaker 2: that gets overlooked a lot in physical media is documentaries.
Speaker 2: I love documentaries a lot, and I'm glad that we've
Speaker 2: seen a bit of an uptick in some documentary release.
Speaker 2: So now we go over to somebody who just released
Speaker 2: a pretty incredible documentary himself. Let's go here from RYE Levy.
Speaker 30: Hello, everybody, my name is Ry Levy. I am a
Speaker 30: documentary filmmaker and I am honored to be able to
Speaker 30: be here to present the Physical Media Award for Best
Speaker 30: Documentary Feature Release. Documentary feature films have often been a
Speaker 30: little overlooked in the physical media space. However, we've seen
Speaker 30: an increase of incredibly beautiful and wonderful releases in that spectrum.
Speaker 30: I have benefited from this with my own film Out
Speaker 30: in the Ring and I'm also thrilled to have just
Speaker 30: made a film about this exact topic of physical media collecting,
Speaker 30: called Boutique to Preserve and Collect. So I am absolutely
Speaker 30: honored to present the award for Best Documentary Feature.
Speaker 3: American Movie four K Sony Pictures, The Battle of Chile
Speaker 3: It Chris Films, Enter the Clones of Bruce, Seven Films, Papatopolis, Terror,
Speaker 3: Vision Scala, Severn Films.
Speaker 30: In both categories, the Creator Selection Committee Award and the
Speaker 30: Community Award to my very good friend David Gregory, director
Speaker 30: of Enter the Clones of Bruce, released by the incredible
Speaker 30: Several Films. Congratulations David, and to all the other nominees
Speaker 30: and winners.
Speaker 5: Oh thank you.
Speaker 17: Wow.
Speaker 31: This is a real honor. Thank you so much to
Speaker 31: CSC and community for voting a documentary among the best
Speaker 31: documentary releases. And I want to give thanks on behalf
Speaker 31: of my co producers who I couldn't have done it
Speaker 31: without Frank Jang, Michael Wirth, Vivian Jang and Jim Koons.
Speaker 31: And yeah, this is beautiful. It is actually because it's
Speaker 31: a piece of the staircase of the original Texas Chains
Speaker 31: or Massacre House, and it's another special Easter egg for
Speaker 31: the community.
Speaker 5: Thanks.
Speaker 31: Here is a photo of Bruce Leigh One of a
Speaker 31: kind board on a train circa nineteen eighty two.
Speaker 3: Cooler board on a train than I've looked in my
Speaker 3: entire life.
Speaker 2: It's annoying, isn't it? Oh Man, that is so cool.
Speaker 2: I love that people have loved this documentary. They worked
Speaker 2: their tail off on these things. Severin puts so much
Speaker 2: time into their box sets and this one is no
Speaker 2: joke either. And if you've not picked it up, don't forget.
Speaker 2: Buying it from their website gets you an exclusive film,
Speaker 2: like if you buy the wide release, you don't get
Speaker 2: the extra disc. So check it out on their site
Speaker 2: if you were looking into it after tonight's show. Now
Speaker 2: we get into some of the technical things. I am
Speaker 2: a big fan of, you know, audio quality and video
Speaker 2: quality like the rest of them, although I don't even
Speaker 2: have a proper audio setup. So this is one that
Speaker 2: I rely on some other people to be able to
Speaker 2: look at this in a better light. And I couldn't
Speaker 2: think of anybody that would be better to present this
Speaker 2: than somebody who runs audio on feature films and TV.
Speaker 2: My friend Brian Dembinski.
Speaker 32: My name is Brian Dembinsky, and I write the out
Speaker 32: of print column for the Physical Media Advocate. I also
Speaker 32: review long forgotten movies on letter LD for days as
Speaker 32: a day job by my production sound mixer, and I've
Speaker 32: done a fair share of TV shows and films, so
Speaker 32: I know how important it is to hear the dialogue
Speaker 32: and how bad sound can sink a good movie. However,
Speaker 32: when the sound is great, it takes the movie watching
Speaker 32: experience to a whole other level. This year, the nominations
Speaker 32: for Best Audio Presentation.
Speaker 11: Are Alien Romulus four K, Twentieth Century Studios, Civil War
Speaker 11: four K, Amazon Exclusive A twenty four and Lions Game,
Speaker 11: Dune Part two four K, Warner Brothers, Godzilla minus one
Speaker 11: four K from Toho Opera four K, several films.
Speaker 32: The winner for Best Audio Presentation as voted by the
Speaker 32: Creators Selection Committee is Godzilla minus one from Toho Congratulations,
Speaker 32: and the winner for Best Audio Presentation I was voted
Speaker 32: for by the community is also Godzilla minus one from Toho. Congratulations.
Speaker 17: Toho.
Speaker 32: I can't wait to hear what gets released in twenty
Speaker 32: twenty five.
Speaker 2: I don't have this one. I really need to pick
Speaker 2: this one up.
Speaker 3: Oh god, it's a very sexy set with all the
Speaker 3: extras don't have subtitles.
Speaker 2: That is a monster of a release, that's for sure.
Speaker 3: Look at that except his award for Okay, well put
Speaker 3: that away.
Speaker 2: I mean they did that with the oscars, so it
Speaker 2: makes sense to do it here. Love it with audio.
Speaker 2: We got to go straight to video. And I know
Speaker 2: that I made the joke about the last one being upsete.
Speaker 2: Oh look at that. Got Celestian said, is Godzilla here
Speaker 2: to accept his award before you did it? That was great.
Speaker 2: Let's go straight to Australia to talk about the best
Speaker 2: video presentation. Hello.
Speaker 33: My name is John Matthews and my involvement with the
Speaker 33: physical media world is on the podcast side. I'm involved
Speaker 33: with Indicator casts but also quite heavily involved with Imprint
Speaker 33: casts with my colleague and co host, Tony Mitches. I'm
Speaker 33: also involved with some of the Facebook groups like the
Speaker 33: Imprint group and also the Indicator group. And today we're
Speaker 33: honored to be presenting this. I'll pass it over to
Speaker 33: my colleague Tony.
Speaker 34: Hi, everybody, my name is Tony Mitchis. I'm also involved
Speaker 34: heavily involved in the Facebook community groups is for the
Speaker 34: Imprint Film's Black Like in Span group, and the Imprint
Speaker 34: Cast Facebook pages and of course co host with my
Speaker 34: partner and colleague John here for Imprint Cast as well
Speaker 34: as frequent collaborator on Indicator Cast. And I would like
Speaker 34: to thank Michelle and Ryan personally for inviting us along
Speaker 34: to be a part of the Shelf Shop Round Awards
Speaker 34: for the second time in the row.
Speaker 33: So we're very honored to be talking and presenting the
Speaker 33: best Video Presentation category. Obviously, in this world of physical media,
Speaker 33: video presentation is very important with the amount of extensive
Speaker 33: work put into restorations.
Speaker 34: Well, it is important for film lovers in particular because,
Speaker 34: as John and I rip you us basically like we
Speaker 34: love watching movies in thirty five millimeter or seventy millimeter
Speaker 34: on film at the cinema, but also in the physical
Speaker 34: media world, even though you won't get that exact same feel,
Speaker 34: at least you have to have a decent presentation on
Speaker 34: home video now with four K, can't get any better
Speaker 34: than this.
Speaker 33: It's very important now because the bar has been raised
Speaker 33: from various labels and it seems like every month we're
Speaker 33: getting more and more amazing releases, and I think the
Speaker 33: four K format has pushed it to a whole new
Speaker 33: level and labels that of just you know, working with
Speaker 33: the new technology and obviously the HDR technology in various formats,
Speaker 33: it really has pushed it up to the next level.
Speaker 33: So we're I guess honored to be presenting this because
Speaker 33: we're very spoilt as film lovers to have amazing presentations
Speaker 33: with new releases month or months. So yes, we're we're
Speaker 33: proud to announce us. And the nominees are.
Speaker 3: The Case of the Bloody Iris four K, Celluloid Dreams
Speaker 3: Opera four K seven Films, the Hitcher four K, Second
Speaker 3: Site Films, the Keep four K Vinegar Syndrome, the Silence
Speaker 3: of the Lambs four K Ero Video.
Speaker 34: Okay, And the CSC winner for Best Video Presentation goes
Speaker 34: to the Hitcher four K from Second Site Films.
Speaker 33: And the Community winner for Best Video Presentation also goes
Speaker 33: to the Hitcher four K from Second Side Films.
Speaker 34: Congratulations, well deserved released, I'll tell you that right now.
Speaker 33: Absolutely, And just to comment, the amount of time that
Speaker 33: was put into this was worth it. I know there
Speaker 33: was a long wait on the Hitcher as you know, Tony,
Speaker 33: I think they announced it maybe two years ago, but
Speaker 33: it was worth it because what we got was one
Speaker 33: of the best possible video presentations we could have got
Speaker 33: for the film in four K.
Speaker 6: Couldn't agree more.
Speaker 34: Thank you all and congratulations once again.
Speaker 2: Thank you here it is the hitcher four K one
Speaker 2: that people have been waiting for years for in a
Speaker 2: ginormous release from Second Site. They never fail to put
Speaker 2: out literally the definitive release of the films that they're releasing.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I got to replace. I had the call the
Speaker 3: German Blue Blue Ray. I think it was like an
Speaker 3: upscaled It didn't look great. Also, I don't understand German,
Speaker 3: so I couldn't read any of the extras. Well, this
Speaker 3: was in English, so I enjoyed it quite a bit more.
Speaker 2: It's a big deal, huge release. Not to mention the
Speaker 2: fact that the studio allowed Second Sight to go back
Speaker 2: to the actual elements, which was one of the main
Speaker 2: reasons why this was delayed for so so long. And
Speaker 2: now we have a film that people wanted for years.
Speaker 2: And funny enough, many of the ones that we're covering
Speaker 2: tonight we're on that list of like this will never
Speaker 2: be able to be released, and somehow we're holding them
Speaker 2: our hand. Twenty twenty four was a massive year for
Speaker 2: Grail titles for everybody. And one of the reasons that
Speaker 2: we're allowed to revel in those is all the great
Speaker 2: retailers that we have. So in the US we've got
Speaker 2: places like Diabolic DVD, Orbit DVD, Brother Bellile, Atomic Movie Store,
Speaker 2: Grindhouse Video, there's some more. In Canada you've got rough
Speaker 2: Cut Video. The UK has a handful of shops like
Speaker 2: Treasured Films, there's Deaf there's a couple of new stop
Speaker 2: shops that just opened. I think one is called Lime
Speaker 2: Wire if I remember. Right over in Australia we've got
Speaker 2: dead ENDDVD and a couple others. So I really want
Speaker 2: everybody right now to in the chat shout out your
Speaker 2: favorite what's your favorite retailer to get physical media from
Speaker 2: other than direct from the labels themselves, which is always

Speaker 2: I'm sorry. Somehow even my wife answered the dragon lives again.
Speaker 2: You must have googled that very quickly. Well done. All right,
Speaker 2: we just got done talking about best video presentation. But
Speaker 2: one of the great things with video presentation is just
Speaker 2: the way that we've seen the upgrades, whether something is
Speaker 2: going from VHS all the way to four K, getting
Speaker 2: a first time on disc release or anything like that,
Speaker 2: it is a huge chance to see what we can
Speaker 2: get out of some of these films. And I figured
Speaker 2: the best person to talk about that is a VHS enthusiast.
Speaker 2: So let's send it over to lunch Meet VHS. Yo,
Speaker 2: what's up everybody?
Speaker 36: Josh from Lunchmate here, lunch meet VHS on the internets.
Speaker 36: How you doing, glad to.
Speaker 5: Be here, Thanks for having me.

Speaker 36: come and get it at lunch Meat. We got it
Speaker 36: everything you've ever wanted on VHS, which is a good
Speaker 36: segue into and the nominees for Best Home Video Restoration
Speaker 36: Upgrade are.

Speaker 11: of the Bloody Iris four K from Celluloid Dreams, The
Speaker 11: Hitcher four K Second Site Films, The Jar from Terror Vision,

Speaker 2: Both great things, both great films.
Speaker 36: Congratulations to the winners, and I'm gonna go watch The
Speaker 36: Keep on VHS in the other room, Rwander die.
Speaker 37: Hey, all right, well listen, I'm really glad, thank you.
Speaker 37: The Keep was a lot of Obviously, that was the
Speaker 37: title that a lot of people had been looking forward
Speaker 37: to seeing come out, myself included, so to be a
Speaker 37: part of that restoration was really great. A lot of
Speaker 37: work went into that one, so thank you. I'm glad
Speaker 37: it's being recognized.
Speaker 2: All right. Obviously, a pretty huge title in twenty twenty
Speaker 2: four is Michael Mann's The Key.
Speaker 3: Sad No Slip Case, and it's in a plastic which
Speaker 3: makes me look like a poser. I've seen this movie
Speaker 3: for it. You guys have a last stuff. I'm a
Speaker 3: big stack.
Speaker 2: It's it's a big deal. Obviously, sold like crazy. I
Speaker 2: think it was like thirty four hours to sell like
Speaker 2: fourteen thousand copies, including a couple of thousand that were
Speaker 2: not in slip covers. Good stuff from Vinegar Syndrome, Glad
Speaker 2: it looks great. Congratulations on the win. This again another
Speaker 2: like giant Grail title that people have said for years
Speaker 2: we were never going to get, and here it is
Speaker 2: in beautiful four K and it's incredible. All right. So
Speaker 2: now from that, speaking of slipcovers, it's always the right
Speaker 2: time to talk about packaging because many people think that's
Speaker 2: what it's all about. So let's talk about these companies
Speaker 2: that put a lot of thought into our packaging, including slipcovers,
Speaker 2: how the discs are housed, how everything goes into these
Speaker 2: just to get it onto your shelf. Let's look at
Speaker 2: best packaging design.
Speaker 3: Hi, my name is Rachel Belvoir.
Speaker 17: I write for the website Comic Con and have a
Speaker 17: regular callum and the Physical Media Advocate, But today I'm
Speaker 17: here to talk about packaging.
Speaker 5: Packaging is important.
Speaker 17: It's the difference between waiting for that package of Blue
Speaker 17: Rays to come in the mail and finding out that
Speaker 17: the discs are loose or they're scratched, or my personal
Speaker 17: favorite man, you try to take the disks out and
Speaker 17: it feels like you're gonna break them.
Speaker 27: That fun.
Speaker 13: Uh.
Speaker 17: I don't know about you, but I find sometimes the
Speaker 17: most expensive sets out of Verse defenders usually the more
Speaker 17: discs involved, So I guess in that sense it makes sense,
Speaker 17: but it doesn't. And sometimes it's your favorite TV show.
Speaker 17: I don't know which one I could be referring to,
Speaker 17: but yeah, where the cases are hard plastic, the discs
Speaker 17: are stacked for no explicable reason, and suddenly the show
Speaker 17: that you want to be able to turn on all
Speaker 17: the time, you're overthinking it and saying, maybe I shouldn't
Speaker 17: or maybe I need to buy new cases that don't
Speaker 17: break the disks to house it in, which kind of
Speaker 17: makes no sense to and gets expensive. But it's all
Speaker 17: part of being a collector, but it shouldn't be the part.
Speaker 17: It should be watching the movies, because as fun as
Speaker 17: Blu rays are to display on a shelf, the point
Speaker 17: is to watch the movies. Whenever the joy of getting
Speaker 17: to have a new film or show to your collection
Speaker 17: gets spoiled by having to think, well, should I really
Speaker 17: buy this because I think the packaging is gonna make
Speaker 17: me nuts. That's not fun. So to the labels this
Speaker 17: year that considered function as well of cool cover art,
Speaker 17: do not think your efforts are noticed, because they are
Speaker 17: and it really makes all the difference in the world.
Speaker 17: Thank you. Uh so We're about further do you. The
Speaker 17: nominee for Best Packaging Design this year.
Speaker 3: Are All the Haunts be Ours a Compendium of Folk

Speaker 3: I love it.
Speaker 2: Yes, All the hauntsvirs beautiful sets. This is one of
Speaker 2: those sets, of course, that has the ability to house
Speaker 2: a book, a book lit and then all of the
Speaker 2: discs are in this that you can reach into and
Speaker 2: I gotta be honest, they have improved from their old
Speaker 2: box sets. They are easier to go and I'm glad
Speaker 2: they're being recognized for this because this is a pretty
Speaker 2: incredible package. Hope people that have not checked it out
Speaker 2: check it out.
Speaker 3: I will say, though that numberriting story in Prince I
Speaker 3: have that big it's over there, like it was too
Speaker 3: big to bring over here. I was like, I don't
Speaker 3: know my cousin accent or something, but it was beautiful.
Speaker 3: Just it's so but it is definitely big, like it's
Speaker 3: hard to display, but one of the best looking sets
Speaker 3: I've ever seen in my life. It's absolutely gorgeous.
Speaker 2: One that is beautiful. That is causing me some fomo?
Speaker 2: Is that one? But Stephen Billings, who was here at
Speaker 2: the beginning of the show, wanted to speak out about
Speaker 2: people that are perhaps experiencing some fomo. So here's a
Speaker 2: message from our founder, mister Stephen Billings.
Speaker 4: Hello, my friends, I'm Stephen Billings, and I'm here to
Speaker 4: talk to you today about something I think all of
Speaker 4: us physical media collectors have gone through at some point,
Speaker 4: the fear of missing out or fomo as we call it,
Speaker 4: whether it's a limited edition slip cover, or just the
Speaker 4: limited a number of copies that it's made for a
Speaker 4: certain release. We've all been through it, and not only that,
Speaker 4: just the financial stress that physical media collecting can have
Speaker 4: on a person. But I do have a service today
Speaker 4: that I think can help you. It's called Fomo no Mo.
Speaker 4: Fomo no Mo is a counseling service that helps you
Speaker 4: manage the day to day stress that it takes to
Speaker 4: be a physical media collector. Whether it's managing how you
Speaker 4: use the sites to buy your physical media, or you
Speaker 4: just I need somebody to talk to you, to tell you, hey,
Speaker 4: you don't need.
Speaker 3: This, you own it.
Speaker 4: Twenty other times, We're here for you. And if you
Speaker 4: call today, you get a free Nicholas Cage emotional support pillow.
Speaker 4: Whenever that movie that you really want to buy but
Speaker 4: you don't have the money for it comes up, you
Speaker 4: just take up.
Speaker 13: You just take this.
Speaker 4: Thing and squeeze it, and you just say, put the
Speaker 4: bunny back in the box, Put the bunny back in
Speaker 4: the box.
Speaker 5: Thanks.
Speaker 4: Everybody call today. One eight hundred Fomo no mo. I
Speaker 4: say it again, one eight hundred f O m O
Speaker 4: n o m O Fomo no mo.
Speaker 13: Thanks gus.
Speaker 2: Oh man. I know a lot of people loved his
Speaker 2: commercials last year. This was this was a big step
Speaker 2: up from last year.
Speaker 3: My boyfriend is that service for me in which he
Speaker 3: just like he every time he comes over and he's like, oh,
Speaker 3: is that new, And I'm like, oh, that's like a
Speaker 3: six month old pre order, but it's a lie. It's
Speaker 3: I bought it a week ago. And he's probably watching this,
Speaker 3: you know, because he loves me, so now he knows
Speaker 3: my lies over the years.
Speaker 2: He probably already knew. He just understands. I hope everybody's
Speaker 2: having a good time so far. We've got a couple
Speaker 2: more awards to go before our next big portion of
Speaker 2: the show. So let's go into one of my favorites,
Speaker 2: which is best Steal Book.
Speaker 20: Hey, Cheff shock Rewinders. It's me Ryan, one of the
Speaker 20: co hosts of the New World Pictures podcast, where we
Speaker 20: talk about every movie released by New World Pictures, New
Speaker 20: World Video, New World Television, New World International, et cetera.
Speaker 20: And I'm here to introduce the Steel Books of the year.
Speaker 5: Steel Books. You know, we all love steel books.
Speaker 20: I bet even one of the co hosts of this
Speaker 20: very show absolutely loves steel books. Steel books like Rock
Speaker 20: and Roll High School or Forbidden World or Battle Beyond
Speaker 20: the Stars all films released by New World Pictures that
Speaker 20: we covered on our podcast. Maybe if you like those movies,

Speaker 20: Congratulations to everyone having the exact same opinion and those
Speaker 20: of you who only have this do you even like
Speaker 20: physical media?
Speaker 3: Ask yourself, that's the exact one I have.
Speaker 2: I love that not only is it the Indicator release,
Speaker 2: but it's just the blue Indicator release and not like
Speaker 2: the limited edition one.
Speaker 3: I do have the limited edition one. At the very least, I.
Speaker 2: Will say I do have the body double steel book,
Speaker 2: and I think it just proves we all really just
Speaker 2: want the original poster art like this. This is gorgeous
Speaker 2: on a steel book. We don't want some you know,
Speaker 2: crazy new pop art that is just not great.
Speaker 3: I will say I'm not I don't like steel books.
Speaker 3: So when he was like one of us like steal books,
Speaker 3: it wasn't It wasn't me.
Speaker 2: I don't.
Speaker 3: I just like clanky and they get scratched and they're
Speaker 3: always like they always make like seven, so like you
Speaker 3: never can get them, and everybody's really angry about not
Speaker 3: getting them, and you feel like, you know, sit an
Speaker 3: alarm like for two am on a random Tuesday to
Speaker 3: buy it.
Speaker 2: That's true. Josh Artado says the crow shouldn't even count
Speaker 2: since I don't believe anyone ever got that steel book.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they made three of those, you know, three and.
Speaker 2: A half for some reason. But really the important part
Speaker 2: on steel books is the artwork, and of course many
Speaker 2: these releases that are not steel books have great artwork
Speaker 2: as well. And I still can't believe we did this,
Speaker 2: but I hope people like who we got to do
Speaker 2: the announcement for this section.
Speaker 38: Hi guys, a huge honor to be here as part
Speaker 38: of this awards ceremony. My name is Ellen Sheedy of
Speaker 38: Uncle Frank Productions. I'm a horror artist working on posters,
Speaker 38: blu rays, storyboards, the whole nine yards. You can see
Speaker 38: some of my stuff over my shoulder behind me, but
Speaker 38: a lot of it you can't because YouTube will let you.
Speaker 38: But you can see that stuff on Instagram by going
Speaker 38: to Uncle Frank pro and saying hi to me there
Speaker 38: and going through my artwork. Anyway, the reason we're here
Speaker 38: today the best artwork of twenty twenty four. Physical media
Speaker 38: is hugely important to me, both as a collector and
Speaker 38: as an artist. I think the relationship between physical media
Speaker 38: and artists are the strongest thing going in this battle.
Speaker 5: Against the streaming services.
Speaker 38: Being able to hold these great innovative pieces of art
Speaker 38: in your hands that both elevate the films themselves and
Speaker 38: give a platform for some of the most amazing artists
Speaker 38: in our industry to kind of find fans of their work.
Speaker 5: It's just there's so much.
Speaker 38: Passion and so much beauty behind these really, really, really
Speaker 38: interesting projects. A shelf of blu Rays in this day
Speaker 38: and age is like going around a gallery or a museum,
Speaker 38: and I honestly think that the future of the industry
Speaker 38: lies in the hands of a lot of these artists.
Speaker 38: Without further ado, here are the nominations for Best Artwork, All.
Speaker 3: The Hard to Be Ours and Compendium of four Core
Speaker 3: Volume two, Luke Insect seven Films, Demon Pond four K,
Speaker 3: Yuko Shima, Zoo Criterion Collection, Kerro Astra zero Criterion Collection,

Speaker 2: Once again, shout out Alon Sheety over in the over
Speaker 2: in Europe being able to announce these. You know, he
Speaker 2: has produced some of the best media book art around.
Speaker 2: You can pick up some of his original prints over
Speaker 2: at brother Blile dot com right now. Go check it out.
Speaker 2: Some really great stuff. And for everybody's saying, like Reggie,
Speaker 2: I do love the original posters, but I have to
Speaker 2: admit original art for physical releases often more interesting. I
Speaker 2: was mostly just talking about steel books. I would for
Speaker 2: the for the most part, I would agree the way
Speaker 2: that they support these. Uh, it goes a long wait.
Speaker 2: For for the most part, some great art can make
Speaker 2: a release elevated compared to what it was without that.
Speaker 2: So I always loved see that for sure. Let's go
Speaker 2: to another section of our show, which is very different.
Speaker 2: If you've been here for the last couple of years,
Speaker 2: you will remember that we always have a segment dedicated
Speaker 2: to Sergio Mimes. So let's talk about Sergio Mims. All right, Okay, Yeah.
Speaker 3: Sergio Mimes was best known as a Chicago based film
Speaker 3: critic and the co founder of the annual Black Harvest
Speaker 3: Film Festival, but he also championed classical music, especially the
Speaker 3: works of black composers. Sergio died in October twenty twenty
Speaker 3: two at the age of sixty seven and left behind
Speaker 3: a legacy of encouragement, education and passion.
Speaker 2: The past two recipients of the Sergiomms Memorial Award were
Speaker 2: Kayla Denise and Sam Degan. Both continue to work tirelessly
Speaker 2: to deliver high quality analysis on film through various outlets.
Speaker 2: We will continue to give an award in Sergio's name
Speaker 2: as long as we can continue these awards. For the
Speaker 2: twenty twenty four Shelf Shock Rewind Awards, we would like
Speaker 2: to represent this great film critic and incredible person by
Speaker 2: presenting the Sergio Mims Memorial Award for Extraordinary contributions to
Speaker 2: Film critique, context and Commentary to Eugenio Erkolani.
Speaker 3: Augenio Erkulani is a writer, producer, film historian, documentarian, and
Speaker 3: an incredible creator of countless Blu Ray special features.
Speaker 2: Eugenio has contributed audio commentaries, visual essays, interviews with some
Speaker 2: of the most unique minds in the history of film,
Speaker 2: and newly written pieces to releases from eighty eight Films,
Speaker 2: Aero Video, Cauldron Films, Nola's Entertainment Cult Epics, Terror, Vision,
Speaker 2: seven Films, Vin Syndrome, and more.
Speaker 3: Augenio has appeared on countless releases alongside his frequent collaborators
Speaker 3: Troy Harworth and Nathaniel Thompson. His work on the ground
Speaker 3: from London to Rome is felt on some of our
Speaker 3: favorite releases each and every year.
Speaker 2: Eugenio has written multiple books on a wide variety of topics,
Speaker 2: including Friedkin's Cruising and Italian genre directors across a range
Speaker 2: of decades. He has contributed to many issues in my magazine,
Speaker 2: The Physical Media Advocate, and is currently finishing up a
Speaker 2: book with Troy Howarth and much.
Speaker 3: Of Augenio's work a passion for film and archiving the
Speaker 3: voices of our film history rings throughout the stories that
Speaker 3: Aeugenio is able to pull out of individuals who have
Speaker 3: been interviewed time and time again for the last fifty
Speaker 3: years shows his natural ability to get his interview subjects
Speaker 3: on his side, but his relationships with lesser known names
Speaker 3: is what makes his contributions most exciting.
Speaker 2: We would like to say thank you to Eugenie Orclani
Speaker 2: for his prolific list of accomplishments, his ability to tie
Speaker 2: his own history to every random individual involved in film
Speaker 2: and Italy over the last sixty years plus, and his
Speaker 2: passion for physical media, from a list titles to what
Speaker 2: many would call Z list trash.
Speaker 3: We also have some words of appreciation from a few
Speaker 3: with peers and collaborators to share with all of you.
Speaker 8: I value him very much, not only as a colleague.
Speaker 8: We've worked together on numerous projects, going all the way
Speaker 8: back to Oh Boy. I can't even remember at this
Speaker 8: point when we started. It would have been within the
Speaker 8: last three or four years. I suppose he helped me
Speaker 8: very much on my book about in Bertellnzi. We have
Speaker 8: since collaborated on a upcoming book that hopefully will be
Speaker 8: coming out sometime this year. We have several other projects
Speaker 8: in the works. But he also brings me in on
Speaker 8: a lot of extra features, which is either a blessing
Speaker 8: or a curse depending on your point of view. But
Speaker 8: speaking of somebody who has a heavy dose of imposter syndrome,
Speaker 8: I can tell you that that that the fact that
Speaker 8: he continues to approach me and ask me uh is
Speaker 8: in itself the best praise I could ever get, because
Speaker 8: it tells me, well, I guess I must know what
Speaker 8: I'm doing, because he wouldn't ask me back if if
Speaker 8: I didn't. He's very serious about what he does. He
Speaker 8: has a tremendous sense of humor. I mean, as as
Speaker 8: much as I value him as a colleague and obviously
Speaker 8: somebody who hooks me up with with jobs, which I
Speaker 8: greatly appreciate, I very much value him as a friend
Speaker 8: above and beyond anything else. We we talk on a
Speaker 8: regular basis. We're like a couple of gossipy old women
Speaker 8: on the phone. We share jokes, we talk about, you know,
Speaker 8: all the gossip, all the juicy stuff that doesn't get
Speaker 8: made public, and we we have a great capacity for
Speaker 8: making each other laugh. So I very grateful to have
Speaker 8: him in my life as a friend, above and beyond
Speaker 8: anything else.
Speaker 6: But also, you know, the uh.
Speaker 8: The the work that we've done in over these last
Speaker 8: several years, which will hopefully continue for many years to come.
Speaker 8: I think it's long overdue that he gets some recognition
Speaker 8: because I don't think there really is anybody in this
Speaker 8: business who works harder than him. He is insanely prolific.
Speaker 8: He is somebody who never phones it in. He approaches
Speaker 8: every single job with the utmost dedication, determination to do
Speaker 8: the very best job that he can and really give
Speaker 8: people at home an opportunity to hopefully learn something and
Speaker 8: hear stories that they haven't heard before. The films that
Speaker 8: he works on, he really immerses himself, and it's very
Speaker 8: easy to get the usual kind of big names that
Speaker 8: we see interviewed all the time. Obviously, we enjoy seeing
Speaker 8: them being interviewed, we enjoy hearing what they have to say,
Speaker 8: but you know, when you've heard a few interviews with
Speaker 8: some of these people, you know what to expect. What
Speaker 8: he's really extraordinarily good at is finding a lot of
Speaker 8: the more lesser seeing people behind the scenes, ones who
Speaker 8: really have some of the best stories. And the interviews
Speaker 8: that he gets with people like that don't get the
Speaker 8: attention that they deserve because fans tend to really just
Speaker 8: gravitate towards the big names. Oh, they've got Dario Argento,
Speaker 8: they've got Ernesta Costaldi, and it's like, yeah, we've heard
Speaker 8: these people talk a thousand times and they're not telling
Speaker 8: us anything they haven't told us before. But this guy
Speaker 8: who was a script supervisor or a third assistant director
Speaker 8: or a grip or a focus puller who's never been
Speaker 8: interviewed before, is like, got all kinds of great stories,
Speaker 8: and nobody ever talks about that. Unfortunately, because you know
Speaker 8: again it's name value, I suppose, and I think long
Speaker 8: overdue that he gets some recognition in this context.
Speaker 6: He's one of the good.
Speaker 8: Ones, so long overdue and very richly deserved.
Speaker 39: Hi there, Nathaniel Thompson, and I'm just wanting to say congratulations, Eugenio.
Speaker 6: It's very well deserved.
Speaker 39: I've been honored to sit with you on several audio
Speaker 39: commentaries and pitching on quite a few other projects over
Speaker 39: the years, and especially working with you alone and working
Speaker 39: with you with Troy on some tracks.
Speaker 2: It has just been a real pleasure.
Speaker 39: And you are passionate knowledge for not just the Italian
Speaker 39: film industry, but film as a whole is just all inspiring.
Speaker 39: You truly are inspiration and I can't wait to work
Speaker 39: on many, many more things with you, And thank you
Speaker 39: for all you've given all of us, and for setting
Speaker 39: all these things down for the record that we really
Speaker 39: need while these talents are still around. It is so
Speaker 39: important and you are truly doing major, major work. And again, congratulations.
Speaker 39: I can't think of anybody more deserving.
Speaker 5: Hello.
Speaker 14: My name is Marcus Schtigdeka. I am a professor of
Speaker 14: film studies in Germany and I've been producing a bonus
Speaker 14: material for film releases on Blu Ray for about twenty
Speaker 14: years now. About eight years ago I met a young
Speaker 14: guy from Italy whom I got along very well with,
Speaker 14: and this guy was Eugenio A.
Speaker 5: Kolani.
Speaker 14: We met at a film festival and talked about our
Speaker 14: favorite film and things we are interested in, and we
Speaker 14: even discussed possibilities to do books together because we shared
Speaker 14: some certain interests. And one of those interests actually resulted
Speaker 14: in a book some years later, which was our book
Speaker 14: about the film Cruising by William Friedkin. And this book
Speaker 14: was released in the Devil's Advocate series and is still
Speaker 14: available and get some good reviews, and we are really
Speaker 14: happy with this book. And we worked together on different levels.
Speaker 14: I invited him to give to contribute to a class
Speaker 14: I did on film history in a film school in Berlin,
Speaker 14: for example, where he was talking about the history of
Speaker 14: Italian genre cinema of Philone. And during this process we
Speaker 14: decided to produce video features together and only one excp
Speaker 14: sample of these features is on this great Blu Ray
Speaker 14: release of Knife of Eyes, where I did a shot
Speaker 14: video essay on the meaning of this film in the
Speaker 14: context of the Gillo cycle and we are planning to
Speaker 14: do a.
Speaker 5: Lot of things in future.
Speaker 14: We've been in contact all over these years and we've
Speaker 14: been discussing film matters and had a lot of fun
Speaker 14: meeting in Rome in Berlin, and so I think there
Speaker 14: is a very vivid working process with Iogenio, which I
Speaker 14: really appreciate, and I know a lot of his stuff.
Speaker 14: He keeps sending me his releases, and so I'm well
Speaker 14: aware of what he did over the years, and it's
Speaker 14: a plenty of stuff, and he has a lot of
Speaker 14: contacts in the Italian film industry. So I think, speaking
Speaker 14: from a film history perspective, his work is very valuable
Speaker 14: and I work with this stuff a lot, and we
Speaker 14: are planning to collaborate collaborate on future releases at the moment,
Speaker 14: and actually next week we'll meet up to do an
Speaker 14: audio commentary for a classic by Tinto Brass and so on.
Speaker 14: So there's no end inside, I hope, and this will
Speaker 14: go on for a long time as long as cinephiles
Speaker 14: will keep buying those film releases. And let's hope that
Speaker 14: this will never end.
Speaker 2: Mister believe we got a random film professor from Germany
Speaker 2: to speak about it. Fantastic in honor of Sergio Mims
Speaker 2: and Eugenio Erculani. We would like to encourage everyone to
Speaker 2: dive deep into film film studies and give the contextual
Speaker 2: supplements features a moment of your time when consuming the
Speaker 2: physical media that we love. So here's the Sergio Mims,
Speaker 2: here's the Eugenio air Coolone.
Speaker 3: Thank you to everyone that contributes to these releases. Encourages
Speaker 3: us all to broaden our understanding of film and film history.
Speaker 2: On that note, let's go into Best Interview, since that
Speaker 2: is one thing that Eugenio is great at.
Speaker 40: What's up, y'all. It's KB from KB Loves Movies. On
Speaker 40: my channel, I have an interview series called The Conversation.
Speaker 40: It's a great way to get to know fellow movie lovers,
Speaker 40: whether they are cinema goers, love streaming, or physical media collectors.
Speaker 40: It seems appropriate that I would introduce the nominees for
Speaker 40: Best New Interview, so the nominees are.

Speaker 2: some time. Yeah, so glad we got that, and of
Speaker 2: course some killer titles coming out from Criterion all year.
Speaker 2: Glad that they've been able to step up on a
Speaker 2: bunch of pretty big titles. You know, we just saw
Speaker 2: Harmony Krinn and a couple others that have been pretty big.
Speaker 3: You're feeling the heat now because they used to be
Speaker 3: the only game in town and now they're not. And
Speaker 3: in fact, I think get scooped quite a bit on
Speaker 3: releases that people would normally say, oh, that's going to
Speaker 3: be a criterion. So I think they've they and they
Speaker 3: started going into four K, which is good for them.
Speaker 3: I know they kind of you know, we're waiting. I felt,
Speaker 3: I think a little too long to do it. But
Speaker 3: they've caught up with the times.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're doing pretty great. Got quite a few nominations
Speaker 2: this year and they did not get any I think
Speaker 2: the first year, the second year one of the two,
Speaker 2: so that's a nice change for them. Yeah, all right.
Speaker 2: As far as supplemental features, what's your favorite supplemental feature, Michelle,
Speaker 2: are you a visual essay, commentary, written essay interview person?
Speaker 3: I like the written essays, and not just because I
Speaker 3: do those as well, but I'm just more of like
Speaker 3: a reading type person. That's the best way I can,
Speaker 3: like retain information. But I'll never say no to a
Speaker 3: good visual essay. I always watch all the visual essays
Speaker 3: on everything.
Speaker 2: But yeah, written for me, yeah, I would agree. For
Speaker 2: the most part. Commentaries are hard to give that much
Speaker 2: time to. I do it when I can, But written
Speaker 2: essays or our next category, which is visual essay, is
Speaker 2: one of my favorites. So let's go back over to
Speaker 2: Nathaniel Thompson's incredible movie Room to hear from them.

Speaker 18: gaggled and be dazzled and all of the bees.
Speaker 42: Yeah, you know, all credit there is really do to Sam.

Speaker 42: she's the one who did it, you know, it's for
Speaker 42: me with Little Darlings. Little Darlings was the first release
Speaker 42: for Cinematograph, and it was very important to me to
Speaker 42: not only bring in people who knew what they were
Speaker 42: doing and kind of set the bar for what the
Speaker 42: label would be, but with Little Darlings, I also really
Speaker 42: wanted to have the contributors be women, just by virtue
Speaker 42: of what that film is about. You know, it was
Speaker 42: directed by men, but it's written by women, stars women,
Speaker 42: it's about women. I really wanted to have women be
Speaker 42: the focal point of the extras, and Sam just dove
Speaker 42: right into it, which she does with everything she does.
Speaker 42: You know, I wouldn't say that this was an anomaly
Speaker 42: for Sam, like I don't think she worked harder on
Speaker 42: this than anything else she did in the past year,
Speaker 42: but I think this offered her something to do that
Speaker 42: she doesn't usually do, you know, a studio sex comedy
Speaker 42: for the most part, and especially a movie that's so sweet.
Speaker 42: I think Little Darlings is very sincere, you know, charming movie.
Speaker 42: And I think a lot of the work that the
Speaker 42: people we tend to work with the most, their work
Speaker 42: tends to usually work within genre film or films that
Speaker 42: are darker. And I'm really happy that Sam took the
Speaker 42: assignment and did something really unique with it and very
Speaker 42: you know, articulate. Yeah, I couldn't be prouder of having
Speaker 42: that on the release. That's yeah. I wasn't expecting it, Honestly,
Speaker 42: I was kind of really worried about it.
Speaker 2: All right, congratulations to Heather and Sam. Here is Trigger Treat,
Speaker 2: which has not gotten enough love. This is a pretty
Speaker 2: crazy release from Synaps and Red Shirt. It's very fancy,
Speaker 2: especially for a title that people had wanted for decades literally,
Speaker 2: especially in HD. It's it's pretty remarkable.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm so happy to see all the ladies kind
Speaker 3: of cleaning up you know, the awards there. I'm into it.
Speaker 2: They've been doing very very well on that note. We've
Speaker 2: got more from the ladies coming up after this, but
Speaker 2: first our next special video for everybody. Here's somebody that
Speaker 2: wanted to share some of their favorites releases from last
Speaker 2: year as well, So check this out.

Speaker 43: of physical media. I hope you're all enjoying the Shelf

Speaker 43: me to come on and tell you guys about some
Speaker 43: of my favorite releases of the year.

Speaker 43: I'll make a fast Grindhouse Releasing's Hollywood nine zero zero
Speaker 43: two eight, a beautiful release and restoration of pretty much
Speaker 43: a lost movie which is really a time capsule of
Speaker 43: a seven Los Angeles. You have Severn's trilogy of the
Speaker 43: russ Meyer films. My god, this is such a long
Speaker 43: time coming and they did such a wonderful job. Thank
Speaker 43: god these films are out and available again. You have
Speaker 43: criterions Happiness, Todd Salance's masterpiece. Hello, this was so this
Speaker 43: was like one we needed for quite a while. You
Speaker 43: have Second Sights the Hitcher, Come on, they do it
Speaker 43: like no other. I mean, look at this incredible. The
Speaker 43: reason this is sealed is because I bought two Okay, this,
Speaker 43: this is the restoration on this looks so great and
Speaker 43: the extras are amazing. And someday I'm gonna pick Robert
Speaker 43: Harman's brain about how to shoot a chase scene because
Speaker 43: he's incredible. And film movements poetry of Chang Dong Lee,
Speaker 43: one of my favorite directors, a director of Oasis, Oasis

Speaker 43: case and also see movies in the theater. All right

Speaker 2: Yeah, So Erratick at the end just wanted to get
Speaker 2: every single thing that he could have.
Speaker 3: Those Director Company releases are fantastic. I've been wanting to
Speaker 3: see a lot of those movies. I feel like the
Speaker 3: nineteen eighties era in Japan is very unrepresented in physical media,
Speaker 3: and I was just over the moon that they started
Speaker 3: releasing those because there's so many films I've been on
Speaker 3: my watch list that I finally got to knock off
Speaker 3: and every release is fantastic, two great, great extras on them,
Speaker 3: and it's crazy you had time to do that, like
Speaker 3: in between me and Sean Baker. But he has a letterbox.
Speaker 3: I don't know if people know that, but he has
Speaker 3: a letterbox and he does log on there when he's
Speaker 3: watching stuff. And he's even a lot of a couple
Speaker 3: of things I worked on, and I'm like, oh, I
Speaker 3: wonder if he read my.
Speaker 2: He definitely has. He consumed so much of it, and
Speaker 2: I love I love that he knew collectors. We're going
Speaker 2: to watch this and he's like, hey, this is sealed
Speaker 2: because I bought two I promise.
Speaker 3: I was totally thinking that I'm not gonna lie. I
Speaker 3: was like, where did I seal await poser?
Speaker 6: No.
Speaker 2: He he is a voracious consumer of this stuff. And
Speaker 2: one of the things that I've heard him talk about
Speaker 2: before is loving commentaries. Let's go over to Senate Journeys

Speaker 45: from the bottom of the planet down here in Australia,
Speaker 45: and what a joy it is to have such a
Speaker 45: formal celebration of my work on The Hitcher. Like so
Speaker 45: many fans of this film, I honestly never thought I
Speaker 45: would see the day that it would get a proper release,
Speaker 45: let alone something of the standard that Phil Scott, Chris
Speaker 45: Holden and the team at Second Sight have pulled together
Speaker 45: with this particular release.
Speaker 3: It's magical.
Speaker 45: It's a magical film, a magical team at Second Sight,
Speaker 45: and it's such an honor to have played such a
Speaker 45: small part in this incredible release.
Speaker 6: I'd also like to.
Speaker 45: Dedicate this award if I made, to Lee Gambon, the
Speaker 45: late Australian film critical Lee Gambon, who of course is
Speaker 45: not a new name if you're familiar with audio commentaries
Speaker 45: at all from boutique labels over the past decade or so.
Speaker 45: We lost Le in twenty twenty four, and he's with
Speaker 45: me and so many people every day, and especially in
Speaker 45: the work that I do in this space.
Speaker 46: Thanks thank you to everyone who voted for Hush as
Speaker 46: Best Commentary. It's one of my all time favorite productions.
Speaker 46: That was for Shout Factory. Mike Flanagan and his wife Katie,
Speaker 46: they really rolled out the red carpet for us for
Speaker 46: several days. They let us really take over their home
Speaker 46: and it was unforgettable. Mike and I bonded very quickly
Speaker 46: over our shared love of Stephen King. I walked in
Speaker 46: his office and immediately noticed a Caine sitting by the door,
Speaker 46: and I was frozen. Wow, this is Lenoge's Cane from
Speaker 46: Storm of the Century, which is one of my favorite
Speaker 46: television Stephen King adaptations. And Mike was like, wow, are
Speaker 46: you a fan of Storm of the Century? No one
Speaker 46: ever knows what that is? And I said, oh, am
Speaker 46: I a fan. I'm a huge fan. So from that
Speaker 46: point forward we were off to the races and it
Speaker 46: was just two unforgettable days, most precious probably seeing the
Speaker 46: cast together again talking about the film on these commentary
Speaker 46: tracks over the two versions of the movie that Shout
Speaker 46: Factory included in that set. And I do need to
Speaker 46: give a special nod to Jeff Roland from Shout who
Speaker 46: came up with the idea of doing the video recording
Speaker 46: of that commentary where we just put a camera in
Speaker 46: the corner of the room and let it roll as
Speaker 46: everything unfolded. It turned out to be a real treat
Speaker 46: and a nice surprise, and that was one hundred percent
Speaker 46: Jeff Roland at Shout Factory. So I tipped my hat
Speaker 46: to him and again to everyone who voted in this
Speaker 46: category for Hush, Thank you so much for the support
Speaker 46: of physical media, and to the awards here for celebrating
Speaker 46: a segment of entertainment that is all too often forgotten.
Speaker 46: So thank you so much. It is a sincere honor.
Speaker 2: We've heard the hitcher butt fifteen times tonight wanted to
Speaker 2: make sure that we've got a shout out to Hush, which,
Speaker 2: no kidding, maybe the best release from Screen Factory in
Speaker 2: like years. This is, you know, first time to disc
Speaker 2: this was on streaming only for quite some time, and
Speaker 2: it looks incredible. It's got the brand new cut on here.
Speaker 2: Not to mention, the commentary is not just a regular commentary.
Speaker 2: They did a video commentary for this, which I wish
Speaker 2: was used more often. It's such a really fun release
Speaker 2: for that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think I've ever seen a video commentary
Speaker 3: honestly where they just set up a camera and show
Speaker 3: everybody and the recording it. That sounds really cool. I'll
Speaker 3: have to check that one out.
Speaker 2: Yes, it's it's a pretty great And we've got one
Speaker 2: more announcement before or one more category before we go
Speaker 2: into our next giveaway, So get ready to type if
Speaker 2: you are one of the giveaway types. Next, we're going

Speaker 37: A lot of hard work went into that one. I

Speaker 3: I've always watched the old washed out they left it

Speaker 2: next spot is best small slate label, So that is
Speaker 2: going to be anything any label that put out less
Speaker 2: fifteen or less titles in one year. This year there
Speaker 2: was a lot of these. They put out fifteen or
Speaker 2: less titles, and I was kind of baffled by the
Speaker 2: amount of competition here. And I hope people pay attention
Speaker 2: to things like this moving forward, because small labels need
Speaker 2: a lot of attention to keep going. Let's go check
Speaker 2: out our best small slate label.
Speaker 49: Oh hi, it's me Oscar Bescher, archivist and vault manager
Speaker 49: for Vinegar Syndrome and all around depressing guy to be around.
Speaker 49: Every act of film preservation starts small and ends big,
Speaker 49: whether it's the first splice on the soul surviving moldy
Speaker 49: element or exorbitant fees paid to find and license a
Speaker 49: forgotten classic. I delivered that line perfectly. Unfortunately, small in
Speaker 49: film preservation usually means not getting the credit you deserve
Speaker 49: for your herculean efforts. So today let's give credit and
Speaker 49: honor the nominees for the best annual slate from a
Speaker 49: small slate boutique label. The nominees are.
Speaker 11: Crocodile, Fun City Additions, Connie Release, Mondo, Macabre, Second Site Films.
Speaker 49: And the Oscar goes to I mean, the award goes
Speaker 49: to the wickedly talented nef Crocodile.
Speaker 29: Okay, Mike and camera are off.
Speaker 5: That's pretty good.
Speaker 49: Did I get everything that I was supposed to get?
Speaker 3: You did what you did? Forget the Community Award?
Speaker 6: Okay, let's do really quickly, really quickly.
Speaker 49: Okay, one, two, three, And more importantly than anything else,
Speaker 49: the Community Award this year was given to the great
Speaker 49: and powerful Second Site Films. Thank you to the Academy.
Speaker 6: That is awesome.
Speaker 3: Wow.
Speaker 24: Okay, I didn't see that coming either.
Speaker 9: That's that's very cool.
Speaker 10: I was.
Speaker 24: I was mentioning though, like this, probably with the with
Speaker 24: the amount of put stuff we're putting out now, I
Speaker 24: don't think we'll qualify for that next year.
Speaker 6: Wow.
Speaker 2: That's that's awesome.
Speaker 24: Thank you to whoever was out there and voted force.
Speaker 24: That's again. I honestly I saw the denominees this year
Speaker 24: and I was like, well, we ain't getting anything this year.
Speaker 25: Twenty twenty four was really a watershed year for US
Speaker 25: as a as a small boutique label because we made
Speaker 25: the big transitions, as you know, from working with OC
Speaker 25: and Vinegar Syndrome to our new partner, Diabolic DVD. So
Speaker 25: I'd like to first extend any normal US thank you
Speaker 25: to Jesse Nelson and everyone at Diabolic dvd dot Com
Speaker 25: for helping us UH. You know, there were a couple
Speaker 25: of months there we were like are people going to
Speaker 25: follow us UH? And then it turned out that, you know,
Speaker 25: the the fans and film lovers have really supported the
Speaker 25: releases we've been doing, which is great both at Diabolic
Speaker 25: dvd dot Com as well as buying UH directly from US. UH.
Speaker 25: And we've had amazing collaborators like yourself, like UH doctor Will,
Speaker 25: like Beth Morris, who's our graphic designer in the UK,
Speaker 25: who does all of the standard edition UH graphic design
Speaker 25: for US, as well as a number of the UH
Speaker 25: Deluxe limited editions uh, Walter Shaw, Jenny Barker who writes essays,
Speaker 25: Stephen Bissett, Sam Deagan, who've done a lot of commentaries
Speaker 25: for us. Who am I Dave Dave McKenzie at Fidelity
Speaker 25: in Motion, the authoring for our Blu rays. I mean,
Speaker 25: we have an amazing team of collaborators that are literally
Speaker 25: all over the world.
Speaker 24: Is very very very very unexpected.
Speaker 2: Thank you. Shout out to Deff Crocodile. They want to
Speaker 2: see sc vote by one vote. Second Site almost swept
Speaker 2: this one. They barely barely eked out a win over
Speaker 2: Second Site, which is huge, one of my favorites.
Speaker 3: I love them, and I wanted to shout this release
Speaker 3: out a little bit more. It got nominated. It's hardl
Speaker 3: like because I'm like reversed. Okay, it got nominated, but
Speaker 3: I didn't win. But I wanted to see a good
Speaker 3: copy of this forever forever. I had like this terrible
Speaker 3: bootleg and it was like you could hardly see anything
Speaker 3: and had terrible subtitles. And this is so great, and
Speaker 3: Walter chaw is on it, and I'm a chaw head.
Speaker 3: I just made that up. But we can all sit,
Speaker 3: we can all cause off chawhands. But This is just
Speaker 3: such a great release. So if you haven't picked this up,
Speaker 3: please do. It's really really good. And also I want
Speaker 3: them to release more anime, so I want them to
Speaker 3: make money from it and then be able to license more.
Speaker 3: Thank you.
Speaker 2: Uh yeah, it's a great release. That movie blew my
Speaker 2: mind the first time I watched it. Really really well done.
Speaker 2: All right, Well, we've heard about the small slate, so
Speaker 2: let's look at large slate, which is anything over fifteen
Speaker 2: releases in one year. And uh, I still can't believe

Speaker 37: with us since the very beginning, and we'd never want
Speaker 37: to forget about our roots. We are doing more studio
Speaker 37: titles these days, which is great, but we still try
Speaker 37: to pick titles and curate like an overall selection that
Speaker 37: appeals to a wide audience, but essentially our core fans
Speaker 37: and you know, we have we're all about film preservation
Speaker 37: restoration here, but we recognize that, you know, the fans

Speaker 37: fit our brand and but also give a little something
Speaker 37: for all the different genre fans out there.

Speaker 31: to say we have an even more ambitious slate this year,
Speaker 31: as you can see from the whiteboard over there, So
Speaker 31: I won't be relaxing anytime soon, but I thank you anyway.
Speaker 2: I don't even know how to follow that up. That
Speaker 2: was a lot.
Speaker 3: Is that arcade machine and Severn? What game is that?
Speaker 3: Is it just the machine with another game?
Speaker 21: And it?
Speaker 3: Does anybody know? That's not trivia question? By the way,
Speaker 3: I'm just curious. You win nothing if you answer this, but.
Speaker 2: My respect, I'm laugh. If somebody has that answer, queue
Speaker 2: up and that would be great. I'll have to look
Speaker 2: because I actually was able to go to seven HQ

Speaker 2: of it. Yeah, that was incredible. Glad to see vs
Speaker 2: and Severn getting their due there. Big shout out to

Speaker 22: And speaking of film restoration, film restoration is a collaboration.
Speaker 22: And you know what else is a collaboration. PERF Damage
Speaker 22: is and you know what else is a collaboration physical
Speaker 22: media production. And without the right labels doing the work,
Speaker 22: we wouldn't get the best versions of our favorite films.
Speaker 51: And as people who spend way too much time talking
Speaker 51: about film formats, way too much green structure and new transfers.
Speaker 51: We're honored to introduce this year's best New Label.

Speaker 22: They've done the work, they've preserved the art, and they've

Speaker 51: the community is Cinematograph.
Speaker 42: That's yeah.
Speaker 2: I I.
Speaker 42: Wasn't expecting it, Honestly.
Speaker 3: I was kind of really worried about it.
Speaker 42: I didn't think it was something that was a given,
Speaker 42: just in terms of the other you know folks who
Speaker 42: are nominated, who I think I'll bring something really exciting
Speaker 42: to the table for what we're doing, you know, just
Speaker 42: boutique home video. So I never for once took this
Speaker 42: for granted. I actually honestly thought it was not gonna happen,
Speaker 42: which maybe was the best way for me to go
Speaker 42: into it. But yeah, I'm extremely grateful that, you know,
Speaker 42: the community decided that as well as you all. It's
Speaker 42: very humbling to be able to do something that you know,
Speaker 42: we care about and have people react strongly to it.
Speaker 42: And with Cinematograph. You know, obviously I'm very tied into
Speaker 42: OCN and to vinegar Syndrome just in general, but Cinematograph
Speaker 42: is a real labor of love for me. It's like
Speaker 42: the first and only, you know, thing in my professional
Speaker 42: career that I think I've really like owned to a
Speaker 42: degree like that. I've really poured over everything from the
Speaker 42: name of it, to the packaging, to all of the
Speaker 42: creative elements and curatorial elements that go into every release.
Speaker 42: So it's extremely validating. So yeah, thank you and everybody
Speaker 42: else who voted for this.
Speaker 2: Justin a shout out for Cinematograph also, so it just
Speaker 2: brought up the name and how much he had to
Speaker 2: do with it. So on your keyboards, giveaway number four,
Speaker 2: Where did Cinematograph get their name? Where did Cinematograph get
Speaker 2: their name? Whoever gets this one right is going to

Speaker 2: I know a lot of people are happy about what
Speaker 2: they've been putting out. Their packaging obviously is incredible. I'm
Speaker 2: a big fan of media books from overseas. Even better
Speaker 2: now that we're getting media books in the US that
Speaker 2: you can read that are not German.
Speaker 3: They're not in German. Nice a lot with German, I
Speaker 3: just don't speak it correct.
Speaker 2: Correct, So that's huge. It is nice to see that
Speaker 2: we're continuing to get really underseen releases from them. They've
Speaker 2: done a lot of great work. Touch coming out from
Speaker 2: them was a big deal for a lot of people. Obviously,
Speaker 2: Little Darling's Red Rock West was a huge win early
Speaker 2: in the year from them. They've got some big titles
Speaker 2: coming up that I can't wait to get and exciting
Speaker 2: to see what they've been able to do so far.
Speaker 2: So congrats Leste, and send me a message. We'll get
Speaker 2: that figured out. But now that we talked about best
Speaker 2: new label, we have to figure out what are the
Speaker 2: best labels overall. So let's first jump over to agen Be.

Speaker 3: which is I think is cool too.

Speaker 2: that somebody's in the chat sharing some comments. Tonight, we
Speaker 2: got one last special video and just a warning, he's
Speaker 2: gonna laugh at this buckle in. It's a ten minute video,
Speaker 2: but this is absolutely worth it. Here is our last
Speaker 2: surprise of the night and thank you ahead of time. Joe.
Speaker 5: Hello all you physical media lovers. Hi, I'm Joe Lynch.
Speaker 5: The lovely folks at Disconnected, Ryan and Jeremy Yea. Ryan
Speaker 5: and Jeremy over at Disconnected asked me to reach out
Speaker 5: and give a little video testimonial of some of my
Speaker 5: favorite physical media releases from last year. Now truth be told.
Speaker 5: Two disclaimers here one. Not all of these came out
Speaker 5: last year. A bunch of them did, but some of
Speaker 5: them were blind spots that I had either discovered in
Speaker 5: the last couple of years and needed to get or
Speaker 5: they are some of my favorite films that either came
Speaker 5: out in the last one or two years that I went,
Speaker 5: oh my god, why don't I have X or Y
Speaker 5: or Z and needed to make sure they were on
Speaker 5: my shelf. Physical media is the true bastion of film,
Speaker 5: collecting of film, preservation of film restoration, and thank God
Speaker 5: for so many wonderful companies, both big, mostly boutique. Most
Speaker 5: of the picks that I have are from two companies
Speaker 5: in particular, one tried and True in one discovery for
Speaker 5: myself and other. Disclaimer is man, it was a freaking
Speaker 5: tough year last year. So normally I am the first
Speaker 5: person to start buying on all the different you know,
Speaker 5: directly from the company or from some of the boutique
Speaker 5: outlets that sell them. Last year was a little tough
Speaker 5: for me, so I didn't get the normal amount that
Speaker 5: I'm usually you know, purchasing and consuming. But I feel
Speaker 5: like I have a good selection of films that you
Speaker 5: should have on your shelf too. Maybe you already do.
Speaker 5: Who knows. Let's find out. Let me just we go.
Speaker 5: This is here. I'm gonna just do this. Ready, you
Speaker 5: can probably tell some of them already. This is my
Speaker 5: stack of my favorite films that I purchased last year.
Speaker 5: Don't worry, I have the receipts. So let's start out
Speaker 5: with the Wachowski's Bound from the Criterion collection. There was
Speaker 5: an arrow release a couple of years back, but this
Speaker 5: is the Criterion version with a I believe this is
Speaker 5: the New four K. This is one of those films
Speaker 5: kind of like the Coen Brothers Blood Simple, that you
Speaker 5: see the potential with the limited amount of money that
Speaker 5: the Wachowski's had at the time when this was their
Speaker 5: first feature, and you can see the potential that went
Speaker 5: into the Matrix and speed Racer and Cloud Atlas. This
Speaker 5: neo noir lesbian love story is one easily one of
Speaker 5: my favorites of theirs and the special features, which I'm
Speaker 5: a big special features fan, both as a viewer and
Speaker 5: a consumer, but also as a filmmaker. I still love
Speaker 5: the art form of making special features, and while some
Speaker 5: of these are mostly old, this one has great shit.
Speaker 5: Love Bound This was a discovery of mine that my
Speaker 5: wife Becca kind of said, you've never seen this movie before,
Speaker 5: and I was a little shocked that I hadn't before either,
Speaker 5: And thank god the lovely folks at Criterion also love
Speaker 5: Beyond the Valley of the Dolls. It's not one of
Speaker 5: those movies where you go, like, if you love Valley
Speaker 5: of the Dolls, you'll love Beyond the Valley of the Dolls,
Speaker 5: because Beyond the Value of the Dolls is fucking psychotic.
Speaker 5: Can I curse here? Well? You're gonna have to be
Speaker 5: a bit out.
Speaker 2: Sorry.
Speaker 5: The transfer is amazing if you haven't seen what I
Speaker 5: consider maybe one of russ Meyer's finest work. I know
Speaker 5: that they had the wonderful Severn collection that they reproduced
Speaker 5: this past year, but I needed to get beyond the
Speaker 5: value of the dolls, and god damn it, I did.
Speaker 5: I've always been a Sam Fuller fan, but I never
Speaker 5: really got the enjoyment of seeing one of his I
Speaker 5: guess you could say like one of his non noir
Speaker 5: film because I was always knowing him for his noir.
Speaker 5: But man, do I love Forty Guns. I had seen
Speaker 5: it on streaming, but this was again one of those
Speaker 5: things where you see it on streaming ego, I need
Speaker 5: to have this and I need to look at the
Speaker 5: case every chance I get. And Barbara Stanwick is absolutely
Speaker 5: stunning in this movie in the black suit and the hat,
Speaker 5: riding around with all of her dudes, so fucking good,
Speaker 5: and the transfer is spectacular. So I would definitely recommend
Speaker 5: that one of the films that I truly loved from
Speaker 5: the early two thousands that never quite got the release
Speaker 5: it deserved. In terms of physical media. There was a
Speaker 5: decent blu ray or DVD that came out, and then
Speaker 5: a Blu ray and that's Andrew Dominic's Shopper from Second Sight,
Speaker 5: which I'm going to get to a lot is a
Speaker 5: company that I only recently discovered in the last year,
Speaker 5: and I was blown away with their presentation. Their box
Speaker 5: sets are obviously just like so stunning, with the the
Speaker 5: disc itself and the inserts, all the cards and everything
Speaker 5: that they gave, like, oh my god, look like they're
Speaker 5: so cool. But what makes this really really special is
Speaker 5: the transfer is spectacular. There's a commentary by Mark Chopper
Speaker 5: Reid himself the subject of the movie, and the film
Speaker 5: itself is just the shit. How this steel Box of
Speaker 5: Mayhem that released this past year getting here? Who knows
Speaker 5: another film that is childhood favorite of mine that Second
Speaker 5: Site had on their library list that I go, how
Speaker 5: do I not have a copy of Martin Brest's Midnight Run? Now?
Speaker 5: I'm pretty sure that most of the special features that
Speaker 5: are on this film on this disc are old. Doesn't matter.
Speaker 5: The transfer is gorgeous. This movie is maybe one of
Speaker 5: my favorite buddy movies of the eighties. You have Charles Groden,
Speaker 5: you have Robert de Niro, you got Joey Pants. Another
Speaker 5: joey Pants movie on my list, just like in Bound.
Speaker 5: It may be my favorite Martin Breast film, with an
Speaker 5: amazing score by Danny Elfman and Yafat Koto is so
Speaker 5: good in this movie. Just across the board. This is
Speaker 5: the movie that made me go holy shit. Roberts Niro
Speaker 5: can be funny. Another movie that from Criterion kind of
Speaker 5: teeters the line and genre between comedy and drama, a
Speaker 5: little bit of action, and also another Joey Pants movie.
Speaker 5: And that's the Criterion disc for Risky Business a Marshall
Speaker 5: Brickman who was a screenwriter. This was his, I believe,
Speaker 5: his first feature film. There's never been a better transfer
Speaker 5: of this film. There's a lot of really great stuff
Speaker 5: on it. The screen tests for Tom Cruise and Rebecca
Speaker 5: de Mornay. You'll know why they got cast, but it's
Speaker 5: still really funny to see those, especially when you look
Speaker 5: at them back in the day. Criterion did a great
Speaker 5: job with this disc. My last three films here are
Speaker 5: all Second Sight. This is where I fell in love
Speaker 5: with this company. The first one is the box set
Speaker 5: for Nick refin Drive Look at This Beast. These are
Speaker 5: the types of titles with these kind of presentations that
Speaker 5: people walk into your house and go, this guy knows
Speaker 5: what's up. The transfer for this movie is amazing on disc.
Speaker 5: And look at all of this extra stuff. This is
Speaker 5: like one of those like food videos that people see
Speaker 5: where they open up the burrito or the burger and
Speaker 5: they go, look at this thing, Oh my god, huge.
Speaker 5: This is a not to miss title. Next up is
Speaker 5: a slightly newer film, Jeremy Sonier's Green Room Again Second
Speaker 5: Sight the book, the presentation, the transfer is great again.
Speaker 5: This is another title that I don't think got the
Speaker 5: proper due with the color palette. This transfer got it right.
Speaker 5: All the special features are great. There's a lot of
Speaker 5: new stuff, a lot of old stuff. Green Room is
Speaker 5: the shit. Finally, and I know that I was watching
Speaker 5: the show too, and I know that Sean Baker pulled
Speaker 5: this one out considering that he stole my number one pick.
Speaker 5: It's a movie that I've been waiting for decades to
Speaker 5: come on to four K blu ray. Yes, back in
Speaker 5: nineteen eighty seven, it was like, someday, maybe they will
Speaker 5: be a four K blu ray transfer of one of
Speaker 5: my favorite movies of the eighties, and Sean Baker stole
Speaker 5: my pick. We had a mutual agreement. We were not
Speaker 5: supposed to have cross pollination of titles, So fuck him.
Speaker 5: Good luck Sean. But that is Robert Harmon's The Hitcher.
Speaker 5: Two movies I've been waiting for for decades, one of
Speaker 5: which I personally was involved in getting made into Blu Ray,
Speaker 5: and that is Chuck Russell's The Blob. That's why I'm
Speaker 5: on the commentary because I just kept calling shot Factory
Speaker 5: and saying, will you please put the Blob on? And
Speaker 5: they finally did. Well, I didn't have to do it
Speaker 5: for this one. This is a film that I've loved
Speaker 5: since I was a kid. It is mean, it is nasty,
Speaker 5: has some of the best cinematography for a genre film.
Speaker 5: John Seal did a spectacular job in the action in
Speaker 5: This film has one of the most bleak third acts ever.
Speaker 5: This movie is special, and the transfer itself is reason alone.
Speaker 5: You You might not even want to get this Monster
Speaker 5: box set right, but if you get the bare bones
Speaker 5: edition of it, get it just for the transfer. This
Speaker 5: is the best disc of the year. This may be
Speaker 5: the best disc for me of the decade. And yeah,
Speaker 5: if this is worth every single penny, put it on
Speaker 5: your shelf and watch people go, huh, I've never seen
Speaker 5: the Hitcher, And then you sit them down and you
Speaker 5: show them the fucking Hitcher and watch their minds explode.
Speaker 5: And finally, of course, with all these amazing titles that
Speaker 5: we have here, it would be behoove me to not
Speaker 5: name my personal favorite title of twenty twenty four, and
Speaker 5: that's Suitable Flesh. There you go, Sorry, shameless plug here.
Speaker 5: I'm very proud of this movie, and I'm very proud
Speaker 5: of the presentation that we put together. There's a commentary,
Speaker 5: there's behind the scenes, YadA, YadA, YadA. Check out Suitable Flesh.
Speaker 5: If you didn't see it or if you saw it
Speaker 5: on shutter only, the blu ray is definitely worth it.
Speaker 5: So there you go. There are my picks, mostly movies
Speaker 5: that I absolutely love that I needed to get on
Speaker 5: physical media and a couple of shameless self promotions as well.
Speaker 5: What are you Gonna do? Thank you to everybody at
Speaker 5: the shelf Shock Rewind Awards. I hope you guys are
Speaker 5: having fun. To everybody disconnected Brian and Humphrey, great job
Speaker 5: out there and keep physical media alive. Guys. Bye, What the.
Speaker 2: Fuck is going on there? Amazing. Thank you Joe.
Speaker 3: I can listen to him talk like he needs to
Speaker 3: make like a three hour video and it's just him
Speaker 3: going through every single movie is cutching and telling me
Speaker 3: about it. I would watch that definitely.
Speaker 2: Three hours is really underselling it.
Speaker 17: I think.
Speaker 2: If you guys are into Joe Lynch want to hear more.
Speaker 2: There's actually an interview with him on my channel. You
Speaker 2: can check that out. We talked about suitable Flesh quite
Speaker 2: a bit and depression. If you're into both of those,
Speaker 2: Thanks Joe for doing that. We only have one more
Speaker 2: award to give out tonight, and this is this is
Speaker 2: like our Oscar for Best Picture. This is best overall release.
Speaker 2: This is a huge deal. Twenty twenty four was a
Speaker 2: massive deal for physical media, and I am just baffled
Speaker 2: at the titles that we're continuing to see. All these
Speaker 2: companies that are putting all this hard work into these
Speaker 2: are incredible, very very happy with what we're continuing to get.
Speaker 2: If you are interested in trying out more from any
Speaker 2: of these companies, or I have questions about the releases,

Speaker 2: a word from the master producer herself, Cala Jannie.
Speaker 22: Hi.
Speaker 54: Everyone, I just want to give huge thanks to the
Speaker 54: Shelf Shock rewind Awards for the incredible honor of God,
Speaker 54: all these awards for all the HAUNTSPI Hours Volume two,
Speaker 54: which I have here.
Speaker 3: Next to me, God to win.
Speaker 54: I think we got best Horror Release, Best region a Release,
Speaker 54: Best overall release, many different awards that that I mean
Speaker 54: like are incredible because I know the amazing competition that's
Speaker 54: out there. I buy a lot of discs from other companies,
Speaker 54: and I get inspired every day by all my colleagues
Speaker 54: working in this field. So so not only is it
Speaker 54: a great honor to receive all these awards for a
Speaker 54: project that I spent three years working on with various
Speaker 54: people at Severn, but also the best the awards for
Speaker 54: best packaging and Art direction or art designed, because those
Speaker 54: awards really are due to Luke Insect, which was a
Speaker 54: designer who designed.
Speaker 3: The bulk of the box set.
Speaker 54: The outer box, the inner sleeves, the booklet that came
Speaker 54: with it, and Luke Insect designed the first box set.
Speaker 54: He's also designed many other projects for me. He's a
Speaker 54: UK based artist I work with a lot because he's
Speaker 54: really versatile and really interesting. He has a really psychedelic vision,
Speaker 54: you know for his art that I try to tap
Speaker 54: into with a lot of my projects. And Drayson Cosjen,
Speaker 54: who's a Canadian illustrator who designed all of the artwork
Speaker 54: for the book of fiction that came with the box sets.
Speaker 54: So all the original short stories that we commissioned came
Speaker 54: with they all featured a an original drawing by Drayson
Speaker 54: Cosjen and titles and things, and so this being a
Speaker 54: part of the box set was was a huge honor
Speaker 54: also to be able to have all these different authors,
Speaker 54: twelve different authors contribute original stories to this book that
Speaker 54: came in the box set, and so it was a
Speaker 54: massive undertaking, uh, you know, from on the technical side,
Speaker 54: our our our post production team Andrew Furtado and Todd Winnic,
Speaker 54: the all the different scans and the negatives and everything
Speaker 54: they dealt with to do the restorations for the box set,
Speaker 54: but also Amy Voorhei's Searles at Severn, who is our
Speaker 54: creative director and she deals with all of our packaging
Speaker 54: companies and manufacturers and everything, and there's so many things
Speaker 54: that she has to keep on top of. And then
Speaker 54: with licensing, there was me and David Gregory and Carl
Speaker 54: Daft and a handful of people around the globe go
Speaker 54: chip in as sort of local liaisons in their own countries.
Speaker 54: There's just like a massive amount of people who participated
Speaker 54: in this box set, as as commentators, as video sayists,
Speaker 54: as people making original short films for the box set.
Speaker 54: It was a massive undertaking. And so I'm so I'm
Speaker 54: really pleased that that both the jury and the community,
Speaker 54: the voting community at the Shelf Shock rewind Awards is
Speaker 54: acknowledging our work in this way. And and also it's
Speaker 54: it's a it's a photo confidence by extension to the
Speaker 54: kind of work that we're doing at Severn going forward too.
Speaker 3: So thanks everybody, So.
Speaker 2: Once again, congrats to Severn and Kayla Denice and David Gregory,

Speaker 2: on any social media. Michelle and my information will both
Speaker 2: be there. We are always here to help and to

Speaker 2: put it in the player tonight, and enjoy a movie.
Speaker 3: Definitely. I'm so glad you invited me on. I hope
Speaker 3: that I lived up to everybody's expectations because I have
Speaker 3: really bad anxiety, so I was worried. I was, but

Speaker 3: my comfort, Godzilla. So that's actually why I brought it
