I mean it was just 187 00:10:17.320 --> 00:10:21.879 go go on on a weekday because then the the 188 00:10:21.879 --> 00:10:24.840 the hotels are much cheaper, and we got a really 189 00:10:24.879 --> 00:10:26.120 good deal on the Venetians. 190 00:10:26.360 --> 00:10:29.399 Anyway, I love this. Aaron Over at Senna Journey says, 191 00:10:29.399 --> 00:10:32.559 I want William Castle at the Sphere. Give me the Tingler. Yeah, 192 00:10:32.600 --> 00:10:36.919 that'd be fun, although you your seat and tumble down. 193 00:10:36.919 --> 00:10:38.440 Maybe that's a liability problem. 194 00:10:39.279 --> 00:10:42.600 A great idea though, once you go and you see 195 00:10:42.919 --> 00:10:46.639 what the potential is, that's a really cool idea. Castle 196 00:10:46.840 --> 00:10:51.039 worked great. Oh yeah, definitely. Yeah the Tingler. Holy cow. 197 00:10:51.360 --> 00:10:53.799 But you know, yeah, what happened if you if you 198 00:10:53.879 --> 00:10:56.039 tingled those seats, they would just go flying out and 199 00:10:56.120 --> 00:10:58.720 you lose half the audience. It would just fall into 200 00:10:58.759 --> 00:11:00.240 this abyss. 201 00:11:00.559 --> 00:11:03.759 But uh yeah, if you tingle those seats sounds like 202 00:11:03.759 --> 00:11:09.519 a double on.

I 246 00:13:15.960 --> 00:13:18.480 met him very at the very very end of the 247 00:13:19.960 --> 00:13:21.960 Fantom Festival when I was there. 248 00:13:22.519 --> 00:13:23.320 God knows, I. 249 00:13:23.320 --> 00:13:26.159 Won't even say how long ago anymore, but it was 250 00:13:26.240 --> 00:13:28.840 left for that. It was like ninety five or. 251 00:13:28.879 --> 00:13:30.679 Ninety five, I think that's what you said. Last time 252 00:13:30.759 --> 00:13:31.320 was ninety five. 253 00:13:31.399 --> 00:13:34.159 Yeah, yeah, and he was like one of the We 254 00:13:34.240 --> 00:13:35.840 did not expect to meet him at all, but it 255 00:13:35.879 --> 00:13:37.519 was at the last night of the festival and he 256 00:13:37.600 --> 00:13:40.080 was there with his son Andrea, and we met them. 257 00:13:40.080 --> 00:13:41.720 We hung out with them for a while or a 258 00:13:41.799 --> 00:13:45.720 couple of hours. We each had our own bottle of champagne, 259 00:13:45.759 --> 00:13:48.879 which made everything really interesting too. But no, it was 260 00:13:48.879 --> 00:13:50.720 really fun. He's but he's such a he's such a 261 00:13:50.720 --> 00:13:55.799 great guy. And that movie is you know, from the 262 00:13:55.799 --> 00:13:58.799 Golden Age. You know, all his Westerns are pretty amazing 263 00:13:59.440 --> 00:14:03.960 legitimately least, it's not hyperbole, it's it's really you know, 264 00:14:04.120 --> 00:14:06.600 he he does his own he does his own thing, 265 00:14:06.720 --> 00:14:09.600 his own way. But that's great. I didn't know about that. 266 00:14:09.600 --> 00:14:10.639 I'm I have to hunt that down. 267 00:14:11.559 --> 00:14:15.399 What's your what's your favorite Franco Nero rule? Oh my god, 268 00:14:16.399 --> 00:14:17.960 that's a big question, I know. 269 00:14:18.480 --> 00:14:22.000 All right, well, you know this is where I get 270 00:14:22.039 --> 00:14:24.240 pies thrown at me. I really thought he was great 271 00:14:24.320 --> 00:14:29.679 and as Lancelot in Camelot. Okay, so I you know, 272 00:14:30.679 --> 00:14:33.720 you're not going to find a bigger close up of 273 00:14:34.159 --> 00:14:36.360 Franco Nero on the screen, that's for sure. I was 274 00:14:36.399 --> 00:14:39.519 like seventy millimeters and you could literally climb up the 275 00:14:39.559 --> 00:14:42.960 nosehairs on his from his nostrils and you're that close 276 00:14:43.000 --> 00:14:43.360 to him. 277 00:14:43.799 --> 00:14:44.399 But he was. 278 00:14:44.559 --> 00:14:49.559 He was a fantastic Lancelot, you know. But so, but 279 00:14:49.840 --> 00:14:52.840 you know, I love him and everything I like, you know, yeah, 280 00:14:53.039 --> 00:14:55.080 I love quiet place in the country. That might be 281 00:14:55.120 --> 00:14:59.480 the most difficult role. I think he could have asked 282 00:14:59.480 --> 00:15:01.679 of tried to do it. He was incredible in that. 283 00:15:02.360 --> 00:15:05.399 So he's Yeah, you know, that's interesting. I never you know, 284 00:15:05.399 --> 00:15:08.639 I never think about that really ranking the stars. Yeah, no, No, 285 00:15:08.799 --> 00:15:10.279 he's he's pretty across the board. 286 00:15:11.080 --> 00:15:13.720 Yeah, I mean, especially for a name like him. Yeah, 287 00:15:13.720 --> 00:15:14.639 the visitor is a big one. 288 00:15:15.200 --> 00:15:21.399 Yeah. I'm just saying, like, he's my desktop, my screen image, 289 00:15:21.679 --> 00:15:28.039 my desktop image with the Golden air Yeah, he's great. 290 00:15:28.320 --> 00:15:32.480 Great, that's pretty funny. Okay, So tonight after announcements, we're 291 00:15:32.480 --> 00:15:34.639 gonna be going over Howard's contributions for the year. I'll 292 00:15:34.639 --> 00:15:36.519 talk about some of mine real quick, but the big 293 00:15:36.559 --> 00:15:40.720 thing is you have You've done some pretty massive things, 294 00:15:40.960 --> 00:15:44.759 uh this year for supplemental features and not just the 295 00:15:44.759 --> 00:15:48.120 the plethora of commentaries. A lot of people don't get 296 00:15:49.360 --> 00:15:53.120 the weight of some of the visual essays because you know, 297 00:15:53.159 --> 00:15:55.480 when you do something for Arrow, it's just labeled as 298 00:15:55.480 --> 00:15:57.720 a visual essay by Howards Berger, and it's like, oh, 299 00:15:57.799 --> 00:15:58.840 here's a visual essay. 300 00:15:59.000 --> 00:15:59.039 No. 301 00:15:59.279 --> 00:16:02.519 Some of these are are like forty five plus minutes 302 00:16:02.720 --> 00:16:06.759 and they are epics recorded with the stars from the films, 303 00:16:07.000 --> 00:16:13.080 properly researched, wonderfully edited, just absolutely incredible pieces. And I 304 00:16:13.200 --> 00:16:15.799 especially like Excaliburg. We're going to dive into that one 305 00:16:15.919 --> 00:16:18.080 and some of the other ones that you're proud of 306 00:16:18.120 --> 00:16:18.639 from this year. 307 00:16:19.879 --> 00:16:23.879 Well, I mean also judging from the critical thing, you know, 308 00:16:23.919 --> 00:16:27.320 it's really humbling because you have no idea. You know, 309 00:16:27.320 --> 00:16:30.919 you're hoping you're not sinking a project with your contributions. 310 00:16:31.120 --> 00:16:38.320 But Outland for Arrow really was that was just great. 311 00:16:38.440 --> 00:16:42.320 My producer, and that Neil Snowden that he did this, 312 00:16:42.360 --> 00:16:45.519 and he did These are all the arrow stuff that 313 00:16:45.559 --> 00:16:49.919 I've worked on. Mainly I worked with I just did 314 00:16:50.480 --> 00:16:53.399 with another producer. I did under Siege, which is coming up. 315 00:16:54.320 --> 00:16:55.240 I did a thing. 316 00:16:55.279 --> 00:16:59.080 But he's he's a Neil is just an amazing curator, 317 00:16:59.440 --> 00:17:03.639 you know, and he's you know, as far as producers go, 318 00:17:06.079 --> 00:17:09.039 you can you can almost collaborate with him. You know, 319 00:17:09.240 --> 00:17:11.599 you can get ideas off him through so he was 320 00:17:11.680 --> 00:17:15.480 he makes everything. It's just not like you know, a gig. 321 00:17:15.680 --> 00:17:18.839 He really he's into it and he loves concepts and 322 00:17:19.200 --> 00:17:22.680 so he's really he's he's been wonderful. Uh And I 323 00:17:22.839 --> 00:17:25.480 think the stuff, you know, we like everything we do, 324 00:17:25.759 --> 00:17:29.079 and especially whenever I work with Kevin Maher, my destructible 325 00:17:29.119 --> 00:17:31.880 man partner who doesn't seem to gets weird. Like the 326 00:17:31.920 --> 00:17:35.119 people the critics writing the stuff, they always say me 327 00:17:35.440 --> 00:17:37.920 and just because it's my voice, I think, but you know, 328 00:17:38.039 --> 00:17:42.160 it's it's a lot of the the visual essays. If 329 00:17:42.160 --> 00:17:45.519 it's not just me, it's in the credit as just me. 330 00:17:46.000 --> 00:17:48.599 Sometimes it's just you know, we have it really pretty 331 00:17:48.640 --> 00:17:52.000 clearly marked that it's me and Kevin Maher so I'm 332 00:17:52.039 --> 00:17:55.000 not gonna I'm not gonna steal all credit for the 333 00:17:55.079 --> 00:17:57.119 you know, the some of the visual essays. But it's 334 00:17:58.279 --> 00:18:00.839 when it's the flying the Chief State Brothers, when it's credited, 335 00:18:00.880 --> 00:18:04.799 you know pretty clearly it's me and him. But we 336 00:18:04.480 --> 00:18:07.039 we like we had a fun time. We were given 337 00:18:07.079 --> 00:18:10.000 a really cool project started like starting like this time 338 00:18:10.119 --> 00:18:13.359 last year. It was pretty funny. 339 00:18:13.359 --> 00:18:14.119 We did the. 340 00:18:16.759 --> 00:18:20.839 Long Kiss good Night and which was a favorite of ours, 341 00:18:20.920 --> 00:18:24.680 mainly because there's a great there's dummy deaths throughout the 342 00:18:24.720 --> 00:18:26.880 whole thing, and you know, I'm sure people know already 343 00:18:27.039 --> 00:18:30.200 my affiliation with dummy debts and film language. It's like 344 00:18:30.359 --> 00:18:32.440 they're hand in hand for me. So I can't can't 345 00:18:32.440 --> 00:18:35.240 get enough of dummy debts. But you even get a 346 00:18:35.400 --> 00:18:38.799 damn you know, Reindeer in that one, you know, dummy 347 00:18:38.839 --> 00:18:39.240 rein Deer. 348 00:18:39.319 --> 00:18:40.240 It was just it was so great. 349 00:18:40.440 --> 00:18:43.079 But we did they hat like a forty forty minute thing, 350 00:18:44.240 --> 00:18:46.039 and it just sort of like went under the radar, 351 00:18:46.079 --> 00:18:47.559 and like, I don't know if people like you, there 352 00:18:47.599 --> 00:18:51.000 weren't that many Long Kiss good Night fans, but you know, 353 00:18:51.000 --> 00:18:54.519 who knows. But the only the only time we saw 354 00:18:54.559 --> 00:18:59.480 it was one wonder review one one video review of 355 00:18:59.519 --> 00:19:02.200 it or some thing which would it got so far 356 00:19:02.200 --> 00:19:04.119 as like, you know, we're pretty tongue in cheek when 357 00:19:04.119 --> 00:19:08.039 we do stuff, and we mentioned just because it was 358 00:19:08.240 --> 00:19:11.599 you know, it's you know, Shane Black wrote it and 359 00:19:11.799 --> 00:19:13.960 Rennie Harland did it. They have a pretty potent sense 360 00:19:13.960 --> 00:19:17.559 of humor and they're very self aware, and you know, 361 00:19:17.680 --> 00:19:22.079 it was basically we took it like we pretty thought 362 00:19:22.079 --> 00:19:24.200 it was pretty clear that it is a satire of 363 00:19:24.279 --> 00:19:28.119 these macho movies. I mean, every two minutes is another 364 00:19:28.680 --> 00:19:31.599 you know, self mocking comment in that movie about you know, 365 00:19:31.680 --> 00:19:36.000 macho movies and things like that. So we mentioned phallic 366 00:19:36.440 --> 00:19:40.559 phallic imagery and we gave an example as a joke, 367 00:19:40.599 --> 00:19:43.599 and I think they these you start reading the comments 368 00:19:43.640 --> 00:19:45.400 and like these guys come out of the woolwork hate 369 00:19:45.440 --> 00:19:48.359 the guy that they hated the movie. Didn't even didn't 370 00:19:48.359 --> 00:19:52.319 even listen, didn't even watch the rest of our video essay, 371 00:19:52.799 --> 00:19:55.160 but he was he was going on about like you 372 00:19:55.200 --> 00:19:59.880 know how it girks him when critics you pull out 373 00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:05.000 phallic imagery, and I'm like, okay, it's like all these 374 00:20:05.039 --> 00:20:08.920 guys were just like you know, like I'm really like 375 00:20:09.400 --> 00:20:11.799 bugged by Phallic Image. It was just the funniest thing 376 00:20:11.839 --> 00:20:14.359 I've ever seen, and I've never seen a response like that. 377 00:20:14.759 --> 00:20:16.480 But we we were proud of that one. We thought 378 00:20:16.480 --> 00:20:18.240 it was a pretty We thought it was a fun 379 00:20:18.440 --> 00:20:22.160 dissection of the movie. Uh, but that you know, that 380 00:20:22.279 --> 00:20:23.880 was at the beginning of the year. I think that 381 00:20:23.880 --> 00:20:26.359 the wround this time. I remember the fires in La 382 00:20:26.440 --> 00:20:30.200 were going on. Yeah, so did that we start. But 383 00:20:30.880 --> 00:20:35.000 all year we did another one which we thought it 384 00:20:35.039 --> 00:20:39.480 was a lot really really good of great movie, the 385 00:20:39.519 --> 00:20:48.079 Fernando Delio, Uh, the Italian Connection for Radiance RaRo Radiance 386 00:20:48.799 --> 00:20:52.000 and uh, that was another one. You know, if I don't, 387 00:20:52.000 --> 00:20:54.000 I think you can. They did not. Kino did not 388 00:20:54.599 --> 00:20:58.920 poured it over on their release. So it's it's it's 389 00:20:59.000 --> 00:21:03.680 locked on on the the rawer release, the redo. And 390 00:21:03.839 --> 00:21:06.640 I would love to hear if anyone's ever seen, you know, 391 00:21:06.920 --> 00:21:11.279 ever seen it, what they thought, because critically was under underwritten, 392 00:21:11.359 --> 00:21:13.759 so we didn't we have no idea what people thought 393 00:21:13.759 --> 00:21:18.079 about that. You know the same thing with the Long 394 00:21:18.160 --> 00:21:20.240 Kiske at Night. It was just sort of under reviewed. 395 00:21:20.440 --> 00:21:23.200 Or you'll see a lot of these sites, they'll they'll 396 00:21:23.240 --> 00:21:26.319 review the movie and the transfer, especially if it's four K, 397 00:21:26.400 --> 00:21:30.759 but they won't get to they'll just post the extras. 398 00:21:30.640 --> 00:21:32.920 Just list what's on there and never watch it. Yeah. 399 00:21:33.119 --> 00:21:35.640 Yeah, and it's like, wow, you know, we would love 400 00:21:35.680 --> 00:21:38.039 to hear, you know, good or bad, whatever. We'd love 401 00:21:38.079 --> 00:21:39.119 to hear what people thought of it. 402 00:21:39.200 --> 00:21:41.960 You know. Yeah, most of our contributions have never had 403 00:21:42.039 --> 00:21:45.440 a proper review on our end. There's I could probably use. 404 00:21:47.000 --> 00:21:50.200 You're cranking out some great stuff lately, I mean really 405 00:21:50.240 --> 00:21:53.480 really great stuff. This whole year has been like, you know, 406 00:21:53.599 --> 00:21:57.000 your your apple of my eye. Very proud of you. No, 407 00:21:57.160 --> 00:21:57.960 really great stuff. 408 00:21:58.000 --> 00:21:58.839 I appreciate good. 409 00:21:59.559 --> 00:22:02.319 I also really enjoyed the thing we did together at 410 00:22:02.400 --> 00:22:05.960 first Collapse. I was very I was really happy with 411 00:22:06.000 --> 00:22:08.920 what you did. I mean, you know, the first time 412 00:22:08.920 --> 00:22:12.920 I ever didn't edit my own essay, which was weird 413 00:22:13.119 --> 00:22:16.599 to me. But uh, but no, I thought you did 414 00:22:16.599 --> 00:22:19.079 a fantastic job. I'm really you know, looking forward to 415 00:22:19.079 --> 00:22:20.480 do something, you know, doing you know. 416 00:22:20.440 --> 00:22:21.079 More stuff. 417 00:22:21.960 --> 00:22:26.480 But yeah, Outland was that to me, was you know, 418 00:22:26.759 --> 00:22:29.480 like an emotional thing almost because it was you know, 419 00:22:29.720 --> 00:22:31.680 like you said, I mean I saw it. I was 420 00:22:31.720 --> 00:22:34.640 already going into you know, I think high school. I 421 00:22:34.680 --> 00:22:39.920 was already in like high school, and so it was 422 00:22:39.960 --> 00:22:41.200 part it's been part of me. 423 00:22:41.359 --> 00:22:41.559 You know. 424 00:22:41.839 --> 00:22:44.079 These movies are just kind of get stuck in my 425 00:22:44.160 --> 00:22:46.920 head and it's part of me for a long time. Yeah, 426 00:22:46.960 --> 00:22:52.240 and to to try and you know, to do the 427 00:22:52.319 --> 00:22:56.440 visual essay, Kevin Maher and myself, you know, we really 428 00:22:57.440 --> 00:23:00.480 of course the dummy deaths that were plend full and 429 00:23:00.599 --> 00:23:04.519 they had great thematic resonance, and we always thought it 430 00:23:04.559 --> 00:23:08.880 was like, you know, even though the film was logically 431 00:23:09.200 --> 00:23:15.039 kind of you know, cinema logic in other words, it's 432 00:23:15.079 --> 00:23:17.079 a lot of things that you know, it's sort of 433 00:23:17.079 --> 00:23:20.640 like what Dario Argento used to be argued against, like 434 00:23:20.680 --> 00:23:25.799 these plots are stupid, they're stupid. Like well, it's just 435 00:23:25.880 --> 00:23:28.880 kind of fun, you know, it's not taking itself too seriously, 436 00:23:29.000 --> 00:23:33.640 and and the logic is leaps. It's trying to figure 437 00:23:33.640 --> 00:23:36.839 out how far you can push your power, you know, 438 00:23:36.880 --> 00:23:39.599 your cinematic power, if you can get away with making 439 00:23:39.599 --> 00:23:42.200 people believe in not you know, nonsense that just can't 440 00:23:42.400 --> 00:23:45.680 things that just technically can't happen. But that's that's the 441 00:23:45.759 --> 00:23:49.559 fantasy of movies. So we really enjoyed this one. I 442 00:23:49.599 --> 00:23:52.240 mean just from a thematic point of view. That was 443 00:23:52.240 --> 00:23:55.279 so much fun and we were really we're really proud 444 00:23:55.279 --> 00:23:57.400 of it. And the fact that I also again Neil 445 00:23:57.480 --> 00:24:01.240 let me talk to some people to speak to sit 446 00:24:01.279 --> 00:24:05.480 down with Peter Hyams and and that was pretty interesting 447 00:24:05.480 --> 00:24:08.880 because you know, there's a lot of you know, he's 448 00:24:08.920 --> 00:24:13.200 he's an he's a polarizing character sometimes, but he's you 449 00:24:13.240 --> 00:24:17.599 know as Luckily I'm not one of his crew and 450 00:24:17.720 --> 00:24:19.359 I'm not one of you know, and I'm not working 451 00:24:19.400 --> 00:24:21.640 for him, and it was real pleasure to sit down 452 00:24:21.640 --> 00:24:24.000 with him finally, and he has such a great history 453 00:24:24.559 --> 00:24:27.599 that he hasn't spoke of. You know. I walked into 454 00:24:27.640 --> 00:24:30.400 his house and we were sitting down just talking before 455 00:24:30.519 --> 00:24:34.480 doing the interview, and he starts talking about how he was, 456 00:24:34.480 --> 00:24:37.039 you know, when he was you know, just barely starting 457 00:24:37.079 --> 00:24:39.839 out and he was in h you know, a room 458 00:24:39.640 --> 00:24:43.559 he met Richard Brooks, who did the Professionals and in 459 00:24:43.599 --> 00:24:46.799 Cold Blood and I'm already like, okay, you got me 460 00:24:46.839 --> 00:24:50.079 at you got me at Richard Brooks automatically, so I was, 461 00:24:50.759 --> 00:24:52.960 you know, it's just wild to sit down. And also 462 00:24:52.960 --> 00:24:56.319 I got to talk for Excalibur. I got to meet 463 00:24:56.400 --> 00:25:01.279 Rospo Pallenberg, who was a prime collabor rator of Borman 464 00:25:01.440 --> 00:25:05.440 for quite a few films. And uh, and it's you know, 465 00:25:05.559 --> 00:25:07.759 it's just cool that these guys don't live very far 466 00:25:07.799 --> 00:25:10.640 from me. You know. I had a really good meetings 467 00:25:10.680 --> 00:25:15.359 with them, and you know, Excalibur and Outland the two 468 00:25:15.440 --> 00:25:19.039 projects I think more than any and Kevin and I 469 00:25:19.079 --> 00:25:21.559 got to do a great visual essay for that as well. 470 00:25:21.599 --> 00:25:24.079 We really, you know, again, from our point of view, 471 00:25:24.079 --> 00:25:26.200 it was just so much, so much we wanted to 472 00:25:26.200 --> 00:25:27.839 get out of her you know, focus on get out 473 00:25:27.880 --> 00:25:30.759 of her chest. And we actually, you know, we actually 474 00:25:30.839 --> 00:25:32.960 learned from doing these things, you know, I mean we 475 00:25:33.119 --> 00:25:35.400 you know, we did the research for it and just 476 00:25:35.440 --> 00:25:37.799 studying the film in a way we never really did before. 477 00:25:38.640 --> 00:25:42.200 So much, so much fun. And they are damn good looking, 478 00:25:42.559 --> 00:25:46.240 uh transfers. Uh you know again, I'll probably get you know, 479 00:25:46.960 --> 00:25:49.519 egg plants and pies thrown at me for saying that 480 00:25:49.640 --> 00:25:52.160 was a terrible transfer. I don't know, it looked great 481 00:25:52.200 --> 00:25:54.960 to me. I mean I've watched it for watch these movies, 482 00:25:55.119 --> 00:25:57.599 you know, half my life, and they're you know, I 483 00:25:57.640 --> 00:25:59.319 think there's the best that they've ever looked. 484 00:26:00.160 --> 00:26:03.160 But we will dive deep into Excalibur and a couple 485 00:26:03.200 --> 00:26:05.200 others after the announcements. First, you got a couple of 486 00:26:05.240 --> 00:26:08.400 compliments here. Paul in the Chat says Howard's interview with 487 00:26:08.440 --> 00:26:09.759 Peter Hyms was amazing. 488 00:26:11.599 --> 00:26:14.759 Thank you, sir.

I love I love that 490 00:26:16.960 --> 00:26:18.039 they can type it. 491 00:26:18.279 --> 00:26:22.160 People care, people watch the bid says Howard did a 492 00:26:22.160 --> 00:26:24.559 great job on the Terminal Man Arrow release. That's the 493 00:26:24.640 --> 00:26:25.599 one you hear much about. 494 00:26:26.599 --> 00:26:28.839 That's another one that was again it was like the 495 00:26:28.880 --> 00:26:31.839 beginning of this year. It was like right over the holidays. 496 00:26:32.079 --> 00:26:34.960 Thank you so much. I mean that that was again 497 00:26:35.079 --> 00:26:37.559 that I would have to include that one. That's another 498 00:26:37.720 --> 00:26:43.640 another one by you know Neil Snowden, great curatorship and 499 00:26:43.640 --> 00:26:46.640 and he was. It was just it was just really 500 00:26:46.920 --> 00:26:50.319 an emotional thing. I knew both directors, Mike Hodges and 501 00:26:51.200 --> 00:26:54.359 the director of photography, both both people networks, but Richard 502 00:26:54.759 --> 00:26:58.960 klein Uh and and that was you know, they were 503 00:26:59.000 --> 00:27:01.079 really special to me too. I mean they you know, 504 00:27:02.160 --> 00:27:04.920 and I'm sure people who have met them also would 505 00:27:04.960 --> 00:27:10.279 probably parrot that that. It's just definitely an emotional you know, 506 00:27:10.279 --> 00:27:14.160 they're they're really they were really really great people, and 507 00:27:14.240 --> 00:27:18.920 their their vantage point and their learning and their work 508 00:27:19.160 --> 00:27:24.400 is just insane. It's just it's just, you know, I 509 00:27:24.440 --> 00:27:26.680 get choked up just thinking that Richard was like one 510 00:27:26.680 --> 00:27:30.000 of my Richard Klein was like one of my best 511 00:27:30.000 --> 00:27:32.759 friends for a good a good four or five years 512 00:27:32.759 --> 00:27:35.519 before he passed away. Uh and he was something like 513 00:27:35.720 --> 00:27:37.359 ninety one at that point. Whatever. 514 00:27:37.440 --> 00:27:38.960 But he's an amazing guy. 515 00:27:38.960 --> 00:27:42.359 And he would come over every every Thursday, Tuesday and 516 00:27:42.440 --> 00:27:45.559 Thursday if he could, and we'd watch one of the 517 00:27:45.599 --> 00:27:48.680 movies that he shot. He never wanted to watch anything, 518 00:27:48.680 --> 00:27:50.559 you know, he didn't even want to watch those. I had, like, 519 00:27:50.640 --> 00:27:52.839 you know, pressure him to like just sit down. 520 00:27:53.000 --> 00:27:54.240 You know. I think he liked my. 521 00:27:54.240 --> 00:27:58.079 Dog, So it was that was the big That was 522 00:27:58.119 --> 00:28:00.799 the big thing, was he would he likes he liked 523 00:28:00.799 --> 00:28:02.559 coming over and just you know, being with the dog. 524 00:28:02.640 --> 00:28:06.640 But yeah, thank you, I appreciate that. That's it again, 525 00:28:06.680 --> 00:28:11.160 you don't really hear it. I you know, I don't 526 00:28:11.200 --> 00:28:13.160 know why. I guess they because there was no four 527 00:28:13.279 --> 00:28:15.160 K of that one. I mean, people, you know, I 528 00:28:15.200 --> 00:28:16.799 guess are kind of guessing. 529 00:28:17.960 --> 00:28:18.359 I don't know. 530 00:28:18.519 --> 00:28:24.960 Not every not every movie has elements that you know. 531 00:28:24.960 --> 00:28:27.880 Let's let's be even more clear. Most films will never 532 00:28:27.960 --> 00:28:29.519 have a four K period half. 533 00:28:30.400 --> 00:28:30.920 It's true. 534 00:28:31.519 --> 00:28:33.720 And then and then our friend Rachel bill Wore has 535 00:28:33.759 --> 00:28:37.240 a plea for you, Please more bil Mondo commentaries in 536 00:28:37.240 --> 00:28:39.759 twenty twenty six always come with you, Howard, along with 537 00:28:39.839 --> 00:28:41.400 Nathaniel Thompson and Steve Mitchell. 538 00:28:42.039 --> 00:28:44.440 Rachel, thank you so so much.

However, two seconds of what that 554 00:29:46.359 --> 00:29:47.440 they watched it. 555 00:29:48.920 --> 00:29:52.440 Well, let's dive deep into some films. It's it's kind 556 00:29:52.480 --> 00:29:53.839 of the dead time of the year, so there's not 557 00:29:53.880 --> 00:29:55.519 a ton of announcements, so we'll get through these real 558 00:29:55.599 --> 00:29:57.559 quick and then we'll get back to some of these contributions, 559 00:29:58.319 --> 00:30:00.640 the ones that we're covering tonight. There there are some 560 00:30:00.880 --> 00:30:04.359 kind of big ones for what was announced, so we'll 561 00:30:04.440 --> 00:30:07.119 give some extra time to those. I'm curious how many 562 00:30:07.119 --> 00:30:09.640 of these that you have seen. I'm betting it's most 563 00:30:09.640 --> 00:30:13.079 of them, so very curious to hear your thoughts. Let's 564 00:30:13.119 --> 00:30:15.480 get to our first releases. These first two are from 565 00:30:15.480 --> 00:30:18.400 Deaf Crocodile, coming in January. This first one is from 566 00:30:18.480 --> 00:30:21.400 nineteen forty eight and it's the check film Kracketits coming 567 00:30:21.440 --> 00:30:24.920 on four K and Blu Ray combo pack. This is 568 00:30:25.200 --> 00:30:28.720 a astonishing sci fi noir film. We get a new 569 00:30:28.720 --> 00:30:31.839 interview on this one with the arkvist Teresa Frondlova from 570 00:30:31.920 --> 00:30:35.480 the Rodney Film ARKive in Prague.

I've heard of that company, 573 00:30:42.559 --> 00:30:46.000 and it is a great visual essay. We've got a 574 00:30:46.160 --> 00:30:50.240 sixty page book, as always in these deluxe edition Crocodile releases, 575 00:30:50.319 --> 00:30:54.000 and we've got an essay by Walt Shawesi by Jonathan Owen. 576 00:30:54.319 --> 00:30:57.559 The big thing for me as far as this physical 577 00:30:57.599 --> 00:31:00.599 release on this though, is the art here is gorgeous 578 00:31:00.680 --> 00:31:04.119 by Richard Cox. And if you are a subscriber or 579 00:31:04.160 --> 00:31:06.880 a member and you've got access to the members only section, 580 00:31:07.359 --> 00:31:10.359 they've got an exclusive version where the title is bolded 581 00:31:10.359 --> 00:31:12.160 and red. It's the only difference, so you don't get 582 00:31:12.200 --> 00:31:14.279 to worry about it too much. But it is a 583 00:31:14.279 --> 00:31:17.279 really beautiful box. Have you seen kracket teeth? Howard? 584 00:31:17.400 --> 00:31:21.559 Absolutely? In fact, I've been waiting for this. I knew 585 00:31:21.720 --> 00:31:25.599 you It's like the minute I knew that Dennis Bartok 586 00:31:25.720 --> 00:31:28.680 announced he was doing this label years ago. I'm like 587 00:31:29.400 --> 00:31:31.960 I was one of the ones. I'm praying, you know, 588 00:31:32.720 --> 00:31:36.960 fingers tightly clenched that he actually gets to This is 589 00:31:37.000 --> 00:31:43.960 like one of those hideous little old Torrent file memory 590 00:31:44.079 --> 00:31:48.519 is I gotta give like you know tit was in 591 00:31:48.599 --> 00:31:53.400 the titles I have downloaded and it was much better 592 00:31:53.440 --> 00:31:56.880 than what I thought it was gonna be. Wild, wild movie, 593 00:31:56.960 --> 00:32:00.720 wild movie. But again it looked horrible. It looks like, 594 00:32:00.799 --> 00:32:03.920 you know, like a Karellian photograph. It's like heat sensitive 595 00:32:04.039 --> 00:32:08.359 photographs is like a tenth generation you know. It was 596 00:32:08.400 --> 00:32:14.039 like an Avin old av I file. So yeah, I'm psyched. 597 00:32:14.640 --> 00:32:17.279 I'm psyched. I'm sure. I'm sure will look stunning. 598 00:32:17.920 --> 00:32:22.559 Oh yeah, and they're doing it in four K two amazing. 599 00:32:22.680 --> 00:32:25.240 But his extras, the people that he gets on there 600 00:32:25.240 --> 00:32:28.200 are just you know, they are they're the tops. 601 00:32:29.039 --> 00:32:30.759 Yeah, this is gonna be a good one. And then 602 00:32:30.759 --> 00:32:33.680 another one that I believe you have seen. They're also 603 00:32:33.759 --> 00:32:36.680 releasing White Son of the Desert from nineteen seventy, one 604 00:32:36.680 --> 00:32:41.200 of the most famous Soviet Easterns or Red westerns. A 605 00:32:41.240 --> 00:32:45.160 lot of this is a very unique movie. 606 00:32:45.160 --> 00:32:47.880 Tell us about why some of the desert it's just 607 00:32:47.960 --> 00:32:50.440 it's just a why you know, it's it's like almost 608 00:32:50.440 --> 00:32:53.279 like a spaghetti western, a Russian spaghetti western. That was 609 00:32:53.359 --> 00:32:57.759 I saw that on the when Ruskico was putting out DVDs. 610 00:32:57.799 --> 00:33:02.039 I guess when was that early nine maybe, yeah, And 611 00:33:02.079 --> 00:33:04.759 that was one of the pretty close to I think 612 00:33:04.799 --> 00:33:06.599 that one of the first ones that I actually bought 613 00:33:06.640 --> 00:33:09.559 from them. Uh, it's it's wild, a lot of fun. 614 00:33:09.839 --> 00:33:13.200 I think it appeals to kids a lot. I think 615 00:33:13.240 --> 00:33:16.480 they had it. It was very very popular with UH, with 616 00:33:16.599 --> 00:33:20.079 the kids in Russia and then you know, I mean it, 617 00:33:20.519 --> 00:33:23.519 it's one of them. It's one of the most popular still, 618 00:33:23.640 --> 00:33:25.960 like you know, decades on, one of the most popular 619 00:33:26.000 --> 00:33:29.319 films ever released.

It's one of those things where I have 626 00:33:53.119 --> 00:33:57.400 no idea how they how they actually go out and 627 00:33:57.880 --> 00:34:02.240 plan shoots like this. It just must have been, you know, exhausting. 628 00:34:02.440 --> 00:34:04.160 You never would think that they would come out alive 629 00:34:04.359 --> 00:34:06.839 from a shoot like this, but they it's it's great. 630 00:34:07.160 --> 00:34:08.880 It's good to hear what they're doing.

This is it is a mind 684 00:37:18.559 --> 00:37:22.320 bending sci fi thriller in the tradition of Alphaville and Primer, 685 00:37:22.760 --> 00:37:25.760 but also a love letter to film writing and filmmaking 686 00:37:25.840 --> 00:37:28.599 in general.

I really don't promote a 710 00:38:43.800 --> 00:38:46.679 lot of Full Moon stuff because, let's just say, Charles 711 00:38:46.760 --> 00:38:50.639 Band is not always in it for the right reasons. However, 712 00:38:51.760 --> 00:38:53.280 I've noticed there's a lot of people that have never 713 00:38:53.320 --> 00:38:57.159 heard of Full Moon before messaging me. Lately, feel really 714 00:38:57.480 --> 00:38:59.440 people getting into this stuff, and so I wanted to 715 00:38:59.480 --> 00:39:03.760 share in their stuff. Is easily the only cost effective 716 00:39:03.760 --> 00:39:06.079 time to buy it, because you're not getting the highest 717 00:39:06.119 --> 00:39:08.239 quality stuff. But if you're gonna get it, get it 718 00:39:08.280 --> 00:39:10.039 on sale. Please, It's a good time to get it. 719 00:39:10.199 --> 00:39:12.000 So check it out at the link if you want it. 720 00:39:12.639 --> 00:39:14.719 How do you feel about Full Moon stuff? You and 721 00:39:14.800 --> 00:39:16.559 I have never talked about Full Moon stuff at all? 722 00:39:16.880 --> 00:39:20.559 No, I you know, I mean, I again, I hate 723 00:39:20.599 --> 00:39:23.119 saying it. I have them, they're you know, but they're 724 00:39:23.159 --> 00:39:23.440 they're in. 725 00:39:23.599 --> 00:39:24.320 They haven't been. 726 00:39:24.239 --> 00:39:26.079 Watched yet, so I don't know, but I you know, 727 00:39:26.119 --> 00:39:28.719 I'm not gonna I'm not gonna say, you know, I 728 00:39:29.159 --> 00:39:35.599 prefer the European titles that they're putting out. Yeah, you know, 729 00:39:36.920 --> 00:39:39.760 I mean, I I hate my dues with the you know. 730 00:39:39.800 --> 00:39:42.119 I used to love things like Tourist Trap. I thought 731 00:39:42.239 --> 00:39:46.000 was great and I thought David Smoller from them, He's 732 00:39:46.039 --> 00:39:48.760 definitely somebody you know who had hid stuff on his 733 00:39:48.840 --> 00:39:51.119 mind and was you know, things like you know, and 734 00:39:51.159 --> 00:39:54.800 I love Laser Blast, but once you know, starting with 735 00:39:54.920 --> 00:39:57.920 like you know, things like The Alchemist or whatever, it's 736 00:39:58.000 --> 00:40:01.000 really unfair of me to even talk about them. Because 737 00:40:01.039 --> 00:40:05.320 I saw them in probably a highly inebriated state back 738 00:40:05.320 --> 00:40:07.920 in the day on opening day, and I don't really 739 00:40:07.960 --> 00:40:13.199 remember much. It's hard to it's hard. I was, I 740 00:40:13.239 --> 00:40:16.679 think under the proper I was in the proper you know, mindset, 741 00:40:16.760 --> 00:40:19.519 but I don't. I just don't remember them. So it's 742 00:40:19.559 --> 00:40:21.000 going to be, you know, one of those times where 743 00:40:21.039 --> 00:40:23.519 when I celebrate like a week off at some point 744 00:40:24.320 --> 00:40:26.400 that's you know, I'm going to start going through all 745 00:40:26.440 --> 00:40:29.039 those things like hand handover fist. 746 00:40:29.760 --> 00:40:33.199 All the trancers and Ginger dead Man films, got it. 747 00:40:33.599 --> 00:40:39.079 I will hold you to that. You know. It's next 748 00:40:39.159 --> 00:40:43.159 up and right, yeah. Yeah. February twenty third, over in 749 00:40:43.199 --> 00:40:45.599 the UK, we are getting a blu ray from Central 750 00:40:45.639 --> 00:40:48.239 City Midi Media of a brand new film called The 751 00:40:48.280 --> 00:40:50.760 Way We Talk from twenty twenty four. This says it 752 00:40:50.800 --> 00:40:53.800 is a soul searching story about three friends, Wolf, Allen 753 00:40:53.920 --> 00:40:57.800 and Sophie, who have different conditions of deafness. When Sophie 754 00:40:57.840 --> 00:40:59.880 graduates from the university and starts a new job, she 755 00:41:00.039 --> 00:41:02.639 realizes that she has been struggling to be seen as normal. 756 00:41:03.039 --> 00:41:05.519 Tensions grow between the three friends as they find themselves 757 00:41:05.519 --> 00:41:08.239 conflicting over how best to communicate with the world while 758 00:41:08.280 --> 00:41:12.719 remaining true to themselves. Now this sounds good. I'm sure 759 00:41:12.719 --> 00:41:15.280 you've never seen it, Howard, because it's brand new, never 760 00:41:15.360 --> 00:41:18.239 heard of it. But the main reason I want to 761 00:41:18.280 --> 00:41:20.679 highlight this we got a commentary with the director with 762 00:41:20.840 --> 00:41:23.159 mister Frank Jing. We don't get a lot of stuff 763 00:41:23.199 --> 00:41:25.719 that isn't like old school Hong Kong stuff, and he 764 00:41:26.119 --> 00:41:28.400 went and did this commentary live with the director. So 765 00:41:28.719 --> 00:41:30.480 this is cool. Wanted to highlight it. Sounds like a 766 00:41:30.519 --> 00:41:32.559 good movie. I kind of want to see this one. 767 00:41:33.000 --> 00:41:34.960 Very cool. Yeah, No, I've never heard of it before. 768 00:41:35.599 --> 00:41:36.760 Automatically on the list. 769 00:41:37.440 --> 00:41:40.760 Yeah. Next February twelfth on Blu ray over in the 770 00:41:40.840 --> 00:41:44.400 UK from screen Bound is the story of Skids, Scotland's 771 00:41:44.480 --> 00:41:46.920 number one punk band. This is a brand new documentary. 772 00:41:47.119 --> 00:41:49.159 This will be limited to a thousand copies. We've got 773 00:41:49.159 --> 00:41:51.760 a live in concert at Guildford, a double sided poster 774 00:41:51.880 --> 00:41:55.119 and a sticker sheet. Have you ever been super into 775 00:41:55.119 --> 00:41:55.639 punk music? 776 00:41:55.679 --> 00:42:00.039 Mister berger e you know that's my erar. 777 00:42:02.239 --> 00:42:05.519 Yep. How do you feel about the Skids? Great? 778 00:42:06.920 --> 00:42:11.280 I have pretty much most everything they've done on vinyl 779 00:42:11.519 --> 00:42:14.800 that's back in the you know, no, great no again, 780 00:42:14.880 --> 00:42:18.159 and screen Bounds coming out with some great stuff lately. 781 00:42:18.320 --> 00:42:22.760 So a lot of these companies, you know, I can't 782 00:42:22.760 --> 00:42:24.920 even believe there's more coming out of the woodwork and 783 00:42:25.159 --> 00:42:27.239 some really great kind I've never heard of half these 784 00:42:27.280 --> 00:42:30.280 companies now, but screen Bound has been doing some really 785 00:42:30.280 --> 00:42:34.719 good stuff this year. So I'm I'm really really glad 786 00:42:34.760 --> 00:42:38.400 to hear that they would care about, you know, something 787 00:42:38.440 --> 00:42:40.840 like this. I'm anxious to see it now. 788 00:42:42.000 --> 00:42:46.480 All right, So the Skids Rock the Skids next up 789 00:42:47.079 --> 00:42:50.079 again over in the UK. February twenty third. We'd already 790 00:42:50.119 --> 00:42:53.119 heard about this, but Vision's Home Video is releasing a 791 00:42:53.159 --> 00:42:56.840 four K of Dog Tooth. This is the Yorgos Lanthemus 792 00:42:56.880 --> 00:42:58.559 film Dog Tooth, and it will also get a Blu 793 00:42:58.639 --> 00:43:01.760 Ray release if you are not and this will have 794 00:43:01.840 --> 00:43:06.039 the brand new Dolby Vision four K master supervised by Yourgos, 795 00:43:06.519 --> 00:43:09.320 audio commentary with a couple of the stars from the 796 00:43:09.360 --> 00:43:12.079 film interview with Yorgos from two thousand and nine, there's 797 00:43:12.119 --> 00:43:15.159 an LFF screen talk from twenty twenty five, and then 798 00:43:15.239 --> 00:43:18.119 some deleted scenes and trailers these releases. This will have 799 00:43:18.119 --> 00:43:21.039 a slipcover and four art cards and a poster, but 800 00:43:21.760 --> 00:43:23.840 that is it. I don't think there's gonna be much 801 00:43:23.880 --> 00:43:26.360 different from the keynot release here in the States, So 802 00:43:27.519 --> 00:43:29.239 if you're in the UK, this will probably be the 803 00:43:29.239 --> 00:43:31.800 best way to buy it. But if you already got 804 00:43:31.840 --> 00:43:34.239 the keynot, probably not much of a reason to upgrade. 805 00:43:34.280 --> 00:43:36.880 It's probably not even an upgrade. It's probably about identical 806 00:43:37.360 --> 00:43:38.679 doc Tooth. Have you seen this one? 807 00:43:39.039 --> 00:43:42.840 I haven't seen that one, but I like the director. 808 00:43:42.960 --> 00:43:46.480 He makes me laugh, he's disturbing. 809 00:43:47.480 --> 00:43:50.920 He's great, and this is the film that broke him 810 00:43:50.920 --> 00:43:53.920 into the scene. It did very well at festivals like 811 00:43:54.199 --> 00:43:55.760 Tyler and the chat is saying I wish I got 812 00:43:55.800 --> 00:43:58.599 the hype. I get it. I like dog Tooth. It's 813 00:43:58.639 --> 00:44:00.840 not my favorite, although I don't many people were. Dog 814 00:44:00.880 --> 00:44:03.360 Tooth is still their favorite. Lanthemost film, which is I 815 00:44:03.400 --> 00:44:06.559 don't know. He's made such great cinema since then, so 816 00:44:06.639 --> 00:44:09.519 I could not see picking that one. Yeah. 817 00:44:09.800 --> 00:44:13.000 Actually, you know who turned him on to me was 818 00:44:13.480 --> 00:44:18.079 Nathaniel Thompson, frequent frequent co pilot with commentary. I mean, 819 00:44:18.159 --> 00:44:21.480 he he's the one who you know, just like handed 820 00:44:21.559 --> 00:44:26.320 over like the whole collection to me. I'm playing that. Yeah, 821 00:44:26.360 --> 00:44:31.159 I actually got through probably a good half hour. This 822 00:44:31.280 --> 00:44:33.519 is all I get a chance to do of Dog Tooth. 823 00:44:33.639 --> 00:44:37.239 I was, I mean, I was, I was in love 824 00:44:37.280 --> 00:44:40.360 with it. It clicked with me. So I'm I didn't 825 00:44:40.400 --> 00:44:44.280 know this was getting a huge treatment. I'm looking forward 826 00:44:44.280 --> 00:44:49.039 to that. I love to see if the extras are 827 00:44:49.079 --> 00:44:52.840 are much different from uh, you know, from country to country. 828 00:44:52.840 --> 00:44:56.559 I'm curious to see what they do with this one. 829 00:44:56.760 --> 00:44:58.840 Do they do? They say, did you say what extras 830 00:44:58.840 --> 00:44:59.519 are going to be on this? 831 00:44:59.639 --> 00:45:02.639 Or no? Yeah, we got a commentary. The big thing 832 00:45:02.679 --> 00:45:06.159 is none of it is new. There's a screen talk 833 00:45:06.199 --> 00:45:09.360 from LFF screen for twenty twenty five, and then the 834 00:45:09.519 --> 00:45:12.280 interview with Jorgos from two thousand and nine. But everything 835 00:45:12.320 --> 00:45:15.159 there except for the scan is all archival, or at 836 00:45:15.239 --> 00:45:17.199 least was on the keynot release. I think the twenty 837 00:45:17.239 --> 00:45:19.519 twenty five talk was brand new to that keynot disc 838 00:45:20.039 --> 00:45:26.760 Cool all right. Next up is Genghis Khan from nineteen 839 00:45:26.880 --> 00:45:30.280 sixty five getting a Blu ray release from Alliance Home Entertainment, 840 00:45:30.360 --> 00:45:33.880 which you may remember is the new name of Mill Creek, 841 00:45:34.559 --> 00:45:39.400 carrying that reputation into the storm. This is a fairly 842 00:45:39.440 --> 00:45:42.599 big one, omarsh Reef, Stephen Boyd. I'm sure, this is 843 00:45:42.639 --> 00:45:46.119 one that you've seen at least two or three times, at. 844 00:45:46.039 --> 00:45:52.480 One hundred times, right right, yeah, yep, great, great movie. 845 00:45:54.159 --> 00:45:57.559 You know it came. It's one of those things that 846 00:45:57.679 --> 00:46:00.960 was going in the wake of Lawrence of Arabia, you know, 847 00:46:01.239 --> 00:46:06.800 and it you know, you have to have a taste 848 00:46:06.840 --> 00:46:12.280 for it because you know it it's nineteen sixty five. 849 00:46:12.440 --> 00:46:16.239 So I just I'm always careful with people who are 850 00:46:16.280 --> 00:46:20.519 expecting a very different look of something, you know. I 851 00:46:20.519 --> 00:46:24.280 mean people you know nowadays there and it's not a 852 00:46:24.320 --> 00:46:27.840 new movie anymore, but they're looking at like Gladiator as 853 00:46:28.000 --> 00:46:30.920 like the definition of an epic motion picture. And to 854 00:46:31.000 --> 00:46:33.960 me that was like, yeah, I actually liked the movie. 855 00:46:33.960 --> 00:46:35.360 I didn't like it when I verson of it. Now 856 00:46:35.360 --> 00:46:37.760 of course, I'm ridly all the way. I even love 857 00:46:37.840 --> 00:46:40.480 the sequel, you know, so I have a different my 858 00:46:40.880 --> 00:46:44.320 brain's been poisoned in a really good way, I think. 859 00:46:44.599 --> 00:46:48.239 But this is something I definitely would would, you know. 860 00:46:48.400 --> 00:46:50.480 I mean I watched this so many times as a kid, 861 00:46:51.480 --> 00:46:54.480 and family we saw it. I mean I was, you know, 862 00:46:54.679 --> 00:46:58.199 post infancy. I mean it was probably on a reissue 863 00:46:59.400 --> 00:47:02.519 I think, like an nineteen sixty nine or seventy or 864 00:47:02.559 --> 00:47:06.639 seventy one, probably a reissue in the theater. If it 865 00:47:06.679 --> 00:47:08.360 wasn't like a re release, it was like, you know, 866 00:47:08.800 --> 00:47:10.880 local theater had had a rent of it, and it 867 00:47:11.039 --> 00:47:13.920 was to put it up with something else. But I 868 00:47:13.960 --> 00:47:16.519 remember seeing it, and I you know, but I've watched 869 00:47:16.559 --> 00:47:18.760 one hundred times since then. It's itit's great. I mean, 870 00:47:18.920 --> 00:47:19.880 it's a lot of fun. 871 00:47:21.360 --> 00:47:21.519 There. 872 00:47:21.920 --> 00:47:26.559 It's sort of like classic comic version of history. It's 873 00:47:27.000 --> 00:47:30.400 you know, you just have to have a you have 874 00:47:30.480 --> 00:47:35.519 to have a taste for that, you know, Laurence Arabia. 875 00:47:36.559 --> 00:47:39.719 You know, it introduced new language that was cinema, but 876 00:47:39.800 --> 00:47:42.559 these other ones were sort of you know, and who 877 00:47:42.599 --> 00:47:44.960 did this again, it's this Henry Levitt And I can't remember, 878 00:47:47.119 --> 00:47:55.199 I am not sure there the directory. Yeah, nineteen sixty five, right, yeah, 879 00:47:55.280 --> 00:47:58.920 nineteen sixty five Henry Levin. Yeah, that was right, and 880 00:47:59.000 --> 00:48:03.440 he did the Levin to the James Mason during to 881 00:48:03.480 --> 00:48:06.440 the Center of the Earth. You know, so you know, 882 00:48:07.559 --> 00:48:14.719 it's it has like, you know, British people playing you know, Asians, 883 00:48:14.840 --> 00:48:17.400 and you know, so you have to you have to 884 00:48:17.440 --> 00:48:19.199 really you know, I mean, like you know, not not 885 00:48:19.559 --> 00:48:22.760 just British white people playing Asians. So there's always going 886 00:48:22.840 --> 00:48:27.199 to be something that's gonna piss somebody off. Nowadays, just go, 887 00:48:27.480 --> 00:48:30.880 you know, watch it with context. It's it's just a 888 00:48:30.920 --> 00:48:33.679 really fun adventure movie, you know. 889 00:48:33.840 --> 00:48:36.679 So speaking of that, they didn't even port over the 890 00:48:36.800 --> 00:48:39.719 extras from the Twilight Time release, which is kind of frustrating. 891 00:48:40.440 --> 00:48:43.320 I am. I am happy to see that it's back 892 00:48:43.360 --> 00:48:46.320 in print at least. However, come on, there's already stuff 893 00:48:46.320 --> 00:48:46.559 out there. 894 00:48:46.719 --> 00:48:49.400 Give us some of the extras, seriously, especially anything to 895 00:48:49.440 --> 00:48:51.760 do with Julie Kergo for sure. I mean, give it 896 00:48:51.760 --> 00:48:54.679 a break that I could, I could listen to and 897 00:48:54.719 --> 00:48:58.960 I have listened to her. I have watched things, listen 898 00:48:59.039 --> 00:49:02.199 to her commentary. You know, I do not fall asleep 899 00:49:02.280 --> 00:49:05.440 during her commentaries, even though that's my preferred way of 900 00:49:05.480 --> 00:49:08.719 falling asleep. Is you know, so like you know, learning 901 00:49:08.760 --> 00:49:11.199 in the back of falling asleep and listening to someone 902 00:49:11.239 --> 00:49:13.239 tell you every all the brilliant thoughts. 903 00:49:13.239 --> 00:49:16.880 They have the dulc tones of Eugenio Erkuilani. Yep. 904 00:49:17.360 --> 00:49:20.079 I mean, you know, there's there's a few people. There's 905 00:49:20.119 --> 00:49:21.400 a few people out there. 906 00:49:21.480 --> 00:49:25.880 Yeah, you know, all right, next, it's true, I think 907 00:49:27.119 --> 00:49:31.239 we'd an archive is releasing on March twenty fourth Collector's Vault, 908 00:49:31.480 --> 00:49:35.239 Volume two of their Looney Tunes collection. Now, the big 909 00:49:35.239 --> 00:49:38.239 thing here, this stuff is always super confusing because they've 910 00:49:38.239 --> 00:49:41.960 got the Collector's Choice, Collector's Vault, they've got the Platinum collection. 911 00:49:43.320 --> 00:49:46.159 Is what is happening? Okay? So the truth is we've 912 00:49:46.159 --> 00:49:48.519 got two discs here, and the big thing is one 913 00:49:48.519 --> 00:49:50.920 of these discs have never been on Blu Ray or 914 00:49:51.039 --> 00:49:55.079 DVD ever, so it's the first time ever being on disc, 915 00:49:55.480 --> 00:49:57.599 and then the other disc it's their first time ever 916 00:49:57.639 --> 00:50:02.360 remastered in HD. So you've got a good like fifty 917 00:50:02.440 --> 00:50:05.880 shorts coming as part of this, and we can guarantee 918 00:50:06.000 --> 00:50:09.199 none of them have ever been on Blu Ray remastered 919 00:50:09.199 --> 00:50:11.920 in HD at all. We can also see that these 920 00:50:11.960 --> 00:50:14.159 have never been on disc for half of them. That's 921 00:50:14.199 --> 00:50:17.039 a big deal. It is just nice to see these 922 00:50:17.119 --> 00:50:21.760 added to it and see that grow. I gotta admit, though, 923 00:50:22.119 --> 00:50:24.440 it would be so nice just to see a full 924 00:50:24.519 --> 00:50:27.360 Loony Tunes collection, or at least all at once, so 925 00:50:27.400 --> 00:50:29.599 we don't have to drip these out over nine years 926 00:50:29.679 --> 00:50:33.000 or whatever. Just give us, what is it going to be, 927 00:50:33.119 --> 00:50:35.440 a forty three disc set? I'll pay it just tell 928 00:50:35.480 --> 00:50:38.199 me what to pay. I will buy it, all right. 929 00:50:38.239 --> 00:50:40.800 Well, they'll make sure that happens once you pay, once 930 00:50:40.840 --> 00:50:42.400 you buy all the separate ones. 931 00:50:43.880 --> 00:50:45.440 And the sad thing is if I don't buy all 932 00:50:45.480 --> 00:50:47.000 of those, it will never exist. 933 00:50:47.320 --> 00:50:50.679 There you go. I was just say, yeah, all right, 934 00:50:50.679 --> 00:50:53.760 and that's also I think these will be uncut as well, 935 00:50:53.760 --> 00:50:57.440 which is good. I mean yes, because that's been happening. 936 00:50:57.480 --> 00:51:02.280 I've been watching things and things, you know, I guess 937 00:51:02.280 --> 00:51:06.280 over the years, I don't know, social climates changed. I 938 00:51:06.320 --> 00:51:08.079 don't know if they you know, what they do, but 939 00:51:09.119 --> 00:51:10.639 or if they just can't get the elements. 940 00:51:10.719 --> 00:51:11.199 I don't know. 941 00:51:11.360 --> 00:51:16.559 But you know, this is just always something very tempting 942 00:51:16.559 --> 00:51:19.199 when they start really doing these beautiful with re releases 943 00:51:19.199 --> 00:51:20.159 of these things. 944 00:51:20.599 --> 00:51:23.159 Yeah, this is a must one. Our archive animation lately 945 00:51:23.199 --> 00:51:25.519 has been knocking it out of the park, so this 946 00:51:25.599 --> 00:51:29.480 is not even a hesitation for me. Next up, the 947 00:51:29.559 --> 00:51:32.480 brand new film Nuremberg from this year is getting a 948 00:51:32.559 --> 00:51:36.960 Sony Pictures release on February tenth. For some it will 949 00:51:36.960 --> 00:51:39.840 be disappointing that it is Blu Ray and DBD only 950 00:51:40.559 --> 00:51:43.280 not getting a four K release. I thought this film 951 00:51:43.320 --> 00:51:46.000 was pretty wonderful. I expected to go into this and 952 00:51:46.400 --> 00:51:49.920 walk away disappointed, but I was surprised. I enjoyed a 953 00:51:49.920 --> 00:51:53.400 lot of the performances in this. The story not surprising, 954 00:51:53.480 --> 00:51:56.360 we know how it ends. However, it is one that 955 00:51:56.840 --> 00:51:59.960 I think is important and gives some really great content 956 00:52:00.039 --> 00:52:02.599 text to the history in a period where we need 957 00:52:02.639 --> 00:52:04.519 to hear about this history specifically. 958 00:52:06.760 --> 00:52:12.159 Have not seen it. I've heard, you know, back and forth, 959 00:52:12.280 --> 00:52:15.960 Like I think people wanted, you know, the critics that 960 00:52:16.000 --> 00:52:19.880 I read and I try not to read reviews before 961 00:52:19.920 --> 00:52:21.679 I've seen the movie, but that I think, you know, 962 00:52:21.719 --> 00:52:26.119 they say like that they took liberties with with the facts. 963 00:52:26.119 --> 00:52:30.119 But I think judging from what I've seen in other 964 00:52:30.239 --> 00:52:33.559 other people, especially what you just said, I think it's 965 00:52:33.880 --> 00:52:36.440 the point is it's it's like, you know, like a 966 00:52:36.519 --> 00:52:44.360 Ken Russell film, history is distilled into drama, not documentary. 967 00:52:44.639 --> 00:52:47.239 And I think that you know, it had to be 968 00:52:47.280 --> 00:52:52.159 sculpted for you know, the the overall point, which you're right, 969 00:52:52.360 --> 00:52:56.840 is extremely important to remember and uh and to make 970 00:52:56.880 --> 00:52:59.920 sure it doesn't happen again. Uh So, yeah, I mean, 971 00:53:00.280 --> 00:53:01.719 I'm very interested in seeing this. 972 00:53:02.800 --> 00:53:04.599 Probably the worst thing I can say about this one 973 00:53:04.639 --> 00:53:09.239 is there some like timeline Whiplash. They really take their 974 00:53:09.280 --> 00:53:12.840 time leading up to the point of the courtroom trial 975 00:53:12.880 --> 00:53:15.880 where they show the film from the camps, and that 976 00:53:17.000 --> 00:53:20.039 video is very emotionally like it's supposed to be heavy 977 00:53:20.079 --> 00:53:23.360 in that moment, but then everything after that moment is 978 00:53:23.599 --> 00:53:27.400 like flying by, like somebody's just running by you. So 979 00:53:27.639 --> 00:53:30.119 they took their time. They really contextualize all the characters. 980 00:53:30.119 --> 00:53:32.719 They showed the short film and then zoom after the 981 00:53:32.760 --> 00:53:35.840 races of the ending. But other than that, it's an 982 00:53:35.880 --> 00:53:36.599 interesting movie. 983 00:53:36.639 --> 00:53:39.480 I thought, is it a long film? 984 00:53:39.920 --> 00:53:42.519 It's yeah, like two and a half to two hours 985 00:53:42.559 --> 00:53:43.639 forty minutes something like that. 986 00:53:43.519 --> 00:53:47.039 Because Judgment at Nuremberg, just the Stanley Kramer one that 987 00:53:47.159 --> 00:53:49.559 was three hours and fifteen minutes or. 988 00:53:49.519 --> 00:53:54.280 Something like that. Yeah, And obviously I don't know have 989 00:53:54.360 --> 00:53:57.800 things changed. I feel like there's always complaints about modern 990 00:53:57.800 --> 00:54:00.599 film being too long, and then you'll get like seven 991 00:54:00.719 --> 00:54:04.000 indie movies every week that are eighty three minutes. So 992 00:54:04.320 --> 00:54:04.760 I don't know. 993 00:54:05.440 --> 00:54:08.480 I couldn't care less as long as it's fun movie. 994 00:54:08.599 --> 00:54:10.559 If it's great, it's great, I'm down for it. 995 00:54:10.719 --> 00:54:14.119 I do not judge a movie on the length. I 996 00:54:14.199 --> 00:54:16.800 try to understand why it's that length. So that's you know, 997 00:54:18.360 --> 00:54:22.639 that's bring it on. It's fine, and we'll be honest. 998 00:54:22.840 --> 00:54:25.599 You're gonna pay money for it, give me, give me something, 999 00:54:25.920 --> 00:54:26.559 and usually the. 1000 00:54:26.480 --> 00:54:29.519 Same amount of money. That's the funny part. I will 1001 00:54:29.559 --> 00:54:31.800 say that the length sometimes dictates if I can watch it. 1002 00:54:32.119 --> 00:54:33.159 I will admit to that. 1003 00:54:33.760 --> 00:54:36.320 Right, Well, I know that that's my story to at 1004 00:54:36.360 --> 00:54:36.760 this point. 1005 00:54:38.079 --> 00:54:41.679 All right, so next month. Music Box Films on January 1006 00:54:41.719 --> 00:54:44.000 twenty seventh, is releasing a Blu ray and DVD of 1007 00:54:44.039 --> 00:54:48.000 a Little Prayer from twenty twenty three, filmed by Angus McLaughlan, 1008 00:54:48.000 --> 00:54:50.400 which is supposed to be really great with Jane Levy, 1009 00:54:50.480 --> 00:54:53.800 David Strethrain and and a camp in this one. And 1010 00:54:54.119 --> 00:54:57.760 this is a heart tugging drama about finding kindred spirits 1011 00:54:57.800 --> 00:55:01.159 and unexpected places. You can reorder this now. It is 1012 00:55:01.199 --> 00:55:08.960 available next up the air forty four, forty four. That 1013 00:55:09.079 --> 00:55:11.679 is always a mouthful to say. They have announced that 1014 00:55:11.719 --> 00:55:14.239 in twenty twenty six they are releasing Blu rays of 1015 00:55:14.840 --> 00:55:19.800 nineteen eighty eight City Warriors and two thousand's Teenage Hooker 1016 00:55:19.880 --> 00:55:23.760 Became a Killing Machine. If that is not a seductive 1017 00:55:23.880 --> 00:55:28.079 enough title for you, man, you have issues. Yeah, these 1018 00:55:28.119 --> 00:55:31.599 both look and sound great, and I am very curious 1019 00:55:31.639 --> 00:55:34.000 to check both of these out. Have you seen either 1020 00:55:34.039 --> 00:55:34.519 one of these? 1021 00:55:34.800 --> 00:55:37.159 No, but they're on the queue now. 1022 00:55:38.960 --> 00:55:42.840 Yeah. The teenage Hooker movie. It says a high school 1023 00:55:42.840 --> 00:55:46.280 girl who moonlights as a prostitute is revived as a 1024 00:55:46.360 --> 00:55:50.199 killing machine after she is murdered by her teacher. Doesn't 1025 00:55:50.239 --> 00:55:52.039 that just sound like I have to see that movie 1026 00:55:52.159 --> 00:55:52.599 right now? 1027 00:55:54.320 --> 00:55:59.920 That's what it's there for. I'm glad there's some people 1028 00:56:00.039 --> 00:56:02.400 there who know what we're waiting for. 1029 00:56:02.559 --> 00:56:04.760 That's good. Oh yeah, this has bound to be some 1030 00:56:04.760 --> 00:56:09.360 people's favorite movie next year, all right. Next, Speaking of 1031 00:56:09.400 --> 00:56:13.159 Aero Video and Warner Brothers projects, they just today finally 1032 00:56:13.280 --> 00:56:17.559 confirmed that Mortal Kombat from nineteen ninety five is getting 1033 00:56:17.559 --> 00:56:21.199 the deluxe four K treatment. Are you working on a 1034 00:56:21.199 --> 00:56:24.360 three hour dummy death visual essay for Mortal Kombat? If 1035 00:56:24.360 --> 00:56:26.320 you are just wink at the camera, Not. 1036 00:56:26.440 --> 00:56:29.119 Yet, but well yeah, I might have to enquire. 1037 00:56:32.159 --> 00:56:34.760 Yeah, this is one that has been speculated for quite 1038 00:56:34.760 --> 00:56:38.320 some time, and it's just nice to see a full, 1039 00:56:38.880 --> 00:56:43.440 full confirmation about that. It's this is many people's favorite 1040 00:56:43.440 --> 00:56:47.800 movie from their childhoods. I will admit it is not mine. 1041 00:56:48.559 --> 00:56:50.320 Did you ever see this one when it came out. 1042 00:56:50.719 --> 00:56:54.280 I think I have to confess. I think I think. 1043 00:56:54.320 --> 00:56:58.119 I think I actually walked out. I didn't instigate it, 1044 00:56:58.159 --> 00:57:00.119 but I think the people that I was with, I 1045 00:57:00.119 --> 00:57:05.000 think demanded that we leave. It's never me. 1046 00:57:05.199 --> 00:57:05.920 I don't. I don't. 1047 00:57:06.039 --> 00:57:07.360 I don't do that by practice. 1048 00:57:07.719 --> 00:57:09.039 I was gonna say, I don't. I don't think I 1049 00:57:09.159 --> 00:57:11.000 would expect you to walk out of films. Is that 1050 00:57:11.000 --> 00:57:12.239 something that you've done many times? 1051 00:57:13.480 --> 00:57:16.079 Oh, I've done it many times, but again never on 1052 00:57:16.119 --> 00:57:19.039 my instigation. I went back and finished it at some 1053 00:57:19.079 --> 00:57:20.880 point that it never got around to doing it with 1054 00:57:21.000 --> 00:57:21.760 Mortal gomback. 1055 00:57:22.760 --> 00:57:25.480 Well, maybe they will say, get over here so you 1056 00:57:25.519 --> 00:57:26.280 can watch that one. 1057 00:57:26.320 --> 00:57:29.639 How you never know. I'm gonna start asking questions. 1058 00:57:31.559 --> 00:57:33.920 Next up, we got some release details of the brand 1059 00:57:33.960 --> 00:57:36.360 new release of Five Nights of Freddy's Two Howard's Next 1060 00:57:36.360 --> 00:57:38.800 Favorite film. This is from this year, coming out on 1061 00:57:38.840 --> 00:57:41.519 four K Steelbook standard, four K Blu ray, and DVD 1062 00:57:41.679 --> 00:57:45.360 because this is a money making hit for Universal. Even 1063 00:57:45.400 --> 00:57:48.840 though this movie was straight garbage. I hated this movie. 1064 00:57:48.920 --> 00:57:51.760 It was really terrible. There are gonna be some extras 1065 00:57:51.760 --> 00:57:54.639 on this There's gonna be revealing interviews behind the scenes 1066 00:57:54.639 --> 00:57:57.840 footage with the cast. There's gonna be a stunt doubles 1067 00:57:57.840 --> 00:58:02.280 of puppeteers picturettes. There is going to be Mangle coming 1068 00:58:02.320 --> 00:58:06.440 to life as nightmarish and multi limbed monstrosity. The puppet 1069 00:58:06.480 --> 00:58:08.760 in this. Uh, there's gonna be a cast and crew 1070 00:58:08.800 --> 00:58:11.480 revealing how the multiple methods used to turn the marionette 1071 00:58:11.480 --> 00:58:14.239 into an eerie entity whose unique design and hunting movements 1072 00:58:14.280 --> 00:58:17.440 are unlike any other animatronic. That kind of sounds interesting. 1073 00:58:17.920 --> 00:58:22.039 And then a featurette called Sensory Overload, which, no, thank you, 1074 00:58:22.199 --> 00:58:23.880 this film was sensory overload enough. 1075 00:58:25.679 --> 00:58:26.599 Now you even trigued me. 1076 00:58:27.280 --> 00:58:30.719 No, it's bad this. You know, we keep harping on 1077 00:58:30.760 --> 00:58:33.159 how bad AI is going to be. I swear the 1078 00:58:33.679 --> 00:58:36.360 dialogue in this may have been written by Ai, because 1079 00:58:36.440 --> 00:58:40.400 it is atrocious. There is nothing human sounding about the 1080 00:58:40.639 --> 00:58:41.519 dialogue in this film. 1081 00:58:41.679 --> 00:58:43.639 It's terrible. You get these reviews like this, and now 1082 00:58:43.679 --> 00:58:45.599 you've intrigued me so much that these are the next 1083 00:58:45.639 --> 00:58:47.480 movies that I'm actually gonna make time to watch. 1084 00:58:47.679 --> 00:58:51.239 It's great, oh man, go watching her in Berg instead. 1085 00:58:53.440 --> 00:58:57.440 Next up, some that I've never heard of. Somehow, even 1086 00:58:57.480 --> 00:59:00.199 though I've always loved Walton Goggins, But we got two 1087 00:59:00.239 --> 00:59:03.440 pieces here. April seventh, Blu Ray, coming from a light 1088 00:59:03.519 --> 00:59:06.119 Year entertainment of Randy in the Mob from two thousand 1089 00:59:06.119 --> 00:59:10.599 and seven. This is directed and starring Ray McKinnon, and 1090 00:59:11.079 --> 00:59:13.960 I think he directs this. I'd have to check that 1091 00:59:14.039 --> 00:59:16.440 I might be wrong there. It might be a different 1092 00:59:16.519 --> 00:59:20.000 name entirely and I missed it. But this is freshly 1093 00:59:20.079 --> 00:59:23.000 scanned in four K from the original materials, and this 1094 00:59:23.000 --> 00:59:24.920 is supposed to be pretty good, some mafia comedy. It 1095 00:59:24.960 --> 00:59:28.760 will also include the Academy Award winning The Accountant, which 1096 00:59:28.760 --> 00:59:31.440 is a forty minute short film starring Walton Goggins and 1097 00:59:31.559 --> 00:59:34.400 Ray McKinnon. But also on that same day they are 1098 00:59:34.400 --> 00:59:36.960 putting out a single disc release of Just The Accountant 1099 00:59:37.000 --> 00:59:39.119 as well, So if you want that and you don't 1100 00:59:39.199 --> 00:59:41.159 want Randy the Mob, you can just pick that one up. 1101 00:59:41.440 --> 00:59:43.360 But I love Walton Goggins and I need to see these. 1102 00:59:43.639 --> 00:59:48.320 I do wish that they had not poorly photoshopped Walton 1103 00:59:48.320 --> 00:59:52.360 Goggins into this scene because that looks really terrible for 1104 00:59:52.400 --> 00:59:55.920 a cover. But I'm definitely curious about seeing these. 1105 00:59:57.639 --> 01:00:00.760 You haven't never heard of them until now, but I 1106 01:00:00.800 --> 01:00:01.360 love that cover. 1107 01:00:01.559 --> 01:00:05.559 Yeah, I had no idea Walton Goggins was as an 1108 01:00:05.559 --> 01:00:09.000 Oscar winning short film from two thousand and one. But 1109 01:00:10.039 --> 01:00:13.000 I got to see it, all right, a film that 1110 01:00:13.039 --> 01:00:16.440 Howard has seen at least nineteen times, I'm sure. April seventh, 1111 01:00:16.639 --> 01:00:20.800 the Russ Meyer Film's estate is putting out Faster Pussycat 1112 01:00:20.880 --> 01:00:24.599 Kill Kill, and sadly they're not doing a damn thing 1113 01:00:24.639 --> 01:00:26.519 with it. This is the exact same disc that has 1114 01:00:26.519 --> 01:00:28.920 been floating around for a while, so it's nice that 1115 01:00:28.960 --> 01:00:33.079 this will be easily accessible, but it's not newly scanned. 1116 01:00:33.159 --> 01:00:35.119 There are no extras on it. I don't even think 1117 01:00:35.119 --> 01:00:37.320 there's a menu on this. It literally just pops up 1118 01:00:37.320 --> 01:00:41.000 and plays the film with a really terrible version of 1119 01:00:41.000 --> 01:00:43.760 the movie. It's basically just like a DVD upscale, I believe, 1120 01:00:44.400 --> 01:00:47.679 and not even a good one at that. How much 1121 01:00:47.760 --> 01:00:49.920 do you enjoy Faster Pussycat Kill Kills? 1122 01:00:51.079 --> 01:00:57.920 So it's amazing. It's most Dressmayer until literally little low 1123 01:00:58.000 --> 01:01:01.360 Pandora peaks. I think have to a visit again. I 1124 01:01:01.400 --> 01:01:04.199 don't know, I don't even remember what I thought of that. 1125 01:01:04.320 --> 01:01:07.960 You know I'm playing that much, But uh no, he's 1126 01:01:08.000 --> 01:01:12.719 he's unique. He's just a master he's i mean an 1127 01:01:12.719 --> 01:01:17.000 incredible visual director and he's very funny and very funny 1128 01:01:17.039 --> 01:01:21.599 work with some really really sharp people. So no, I 1129 01:01:21.679 --> 01:01:23.719 mean that's it's an amazing film. And you know, I 1130 01:01:23.719 --> 01:01:26.960 mean if you can't, if you don't notice the influence 1131 01:01:27.000 --> 01:01:29.800 on on Texas Chainsaw Massacre, I think you're just turning 1132 01:01:29.840 --> 01:01:32.719 a blind eye. And you know it's a it's a 1133 01:01:32.760 --> 01:01:37.079 it's a pretty influential you know film as well, but 1134 01:01:37.400 --> 01:01:40.519 really funny and just really well then I don't know 1135 01:01:40.559 --> 01:01:43.400 how you know, It's like it's like with Ken Russell. 1136 01:01:43.400 --> 01:01:46.920 There's certain people where they could have absolutely no budget whatsoever, 1137 01:01:47.079 --> 01:01:49.800 and and actors who've never been in front of a camera, 1138 01:01:50.119 --> 01:01:53.880 but they have them really working at like a level 1139 01:01:54.000 --> 01:01:58.360 best and and always with a certain choreography that only 1140 01:01:59.320 --> 01:02:03.960 only they can do with actors. I mean, it's really crazy. 1141 01:02:04.079 --> 01:02:06.920 Like the rhythms, it's like they're active. You think they 1142 01:02:06.960 --> 01:02:09.280 would be acted for the rhythms that he has in 1143 01:02:09.320 --> 01:02:12.719 his editing. And I just don't understand how certain people 1144 01:02:12.840 --> 01:02:14.800 get away with that. That's a that's a pretty masterful 1145 01:02:14.840 --> 01:02:17.679 movie and it is a terrible shame because that film 1146 01:02:17.719 --> 01:02:21.559 is I think pushing sixty No, yeah, pushing sixty now, 1147 01:02:21.599 --> 01:02:25.639 I guess, and I mean, the elements are not getting 1148 01:02:25.679 --> 01:02:29.079 any better, so you know it's a shame. 1149 01:02:31.639 --> 01:02:34.679 Well, and the vid is saying this Blu Ray looks excellent. 1150 01:02:34.760 --> 01:02:38.679 I don't know about that. I wouldn't say excellent. And 1151 01:02:38.960 --> 01:02:41.079 I only say that based on what seven has done 1152 01:02:41.159 --> 01:02:42.960 for the other russ Meyers that they did. They've put 1153 01:02:42.960 --> 01:02:46.320 out five them up, okay, and those are stunning. So 1154 01:02:46.920 --> 01:02:49.360 just for anybody that's gonna ask about this later, the 1155 01:02:49.440 --> 01:02:52.559 big problem here is the russ Meyer estate is saying 1156 01:02:54.239 --> 01:02:58.000 supposedly they are demanding like literally upwards of a million 1157 01:02:58.039 --> 01:03:02.199 dollars to license just this one movie. And I'm sorry 1158 01:03:03.559 --> 01:03:05.960 that's that's not gonna happen. This film is never gonna 1159 01:03:06.000 --> 01:03:08.159 make a million dollars, even though it's a great movie. 1160 01:03:08.840 --> 01:03:11.880 No boutique could ever pay a million dollars to put 1161 01:03:11.920 --> 01:03:15.079 this out because you would have to sell so many 1162 01:03:15.119 --> 01:03:17.920 copies of this to make that up that it would 1163 01:03:17.960 --> 01:03:20.840 just never happen. And even something like a Kickstarter would 1164 01:03:20.880 --> 01:03:23.360 never be enough unless everybody that was willing to buy 1165 01:03:23.400 --> 01:03:26.159 the Blu Ray that has already bought it would guarantee 1166 01:03:26.159 --> 01:03:28.800 that they would donate like four hundred dollars each. It's 1167 01:03:28.840 --> 01:03:32.880 just never gonna happen. So the only way I see 1168 01:03:32.920 --> 01:03:35.679 this ever happening is if they drastically lower their price 1169 01:03:35.800 --> 01:03:40.559 by literally, like I don't know, like eighty nine percent 1170 01:03:40.760 --> 01:03:44.039 something like that at absolute most. Probably even more than that, 1171 01:03:44.320 --> 01:03:49.159 probably more like ninety three percent is more realistic. Yeah, good, 1172 01:03:49.199 --> 01:03:53.639 good movie, and nay, great movie, but yeah, we deserve 1173 01:03:53.679 --> 01:03:58.320 a better release with some contextual extras. Yeah, all right. 1174 01:03:59.079 --> 01:04:02.559 Next up, we are getting from Unearthed Films on April seventh, 1175 01:04:02.559 --> 01:04:06.039 a blu ray of Cradle of Fear, starring Danny Filth 1176 01:04:06.079 --> 01:04:08.960 from the band Cradle of Filth. And that is probably 1177 01:04:09.000 --> 01:04:11.440 the only reason this has ever been a relevant movie. 1178 01:04:12.000 --> 01:04:15.159 This is gonna be a two disc release. The first 1179 01:04:15.199 --> 01:04:17.760 disc is gonna have a making of Cradle of Fear. 1180 01:04:17.800 --> 01:04:20.760 It's gonna have a special German DVD making of for 1181 01:04:21.199 --> 01:04:23.800 Cradle of Fear. There's an important Words featurette, behind the 1182 01:04:23.800 --> 01:04:27.119 scenes gallery, some trailers. But the big draw here for 1183 01:04:27.199 --> 01:04:30.480 many people might be a short film collection that is 1184 01:04:30.519 --> 01:04:34.079 attached to this by the director. We've got a short 1185 01:04:34.119 --> 01:04:38.960 film called Chainsaw scum Fuck. Doesn't that sound amazing? Howard? Uh, 1186 01:04:39.079 --> 01:04:42.360 there's a short called bad Manner, bad Karma, drill bit, 1187 01:04:42.519 --> 01:04:46.559 night pastor bullshit news film extremes, three promo Borderline, and 1188 01:04:46.559 --> 01:04:49.320 then a shorts behind the scenes gallery and some trailers. 1189 01:04:49.840 --> 01:04:51.440 That is all we've got. 1190 01:04:52.039 --> 01:04:52.920 I would give that a go. 1191 01:04:53.559 --> 01:04:57.320 I like Cradle of Film. Adam says he's friends with 1192 01:04:57.360 --> 01:04:58.280 the director. Nice. 1193 01:04:58.679 --> 01:05:02.360 Oh cool, right. 1194 01:05:04.559 --> 01:05:07.159 TV, says Meyer state at a singular moment of clarity 1195 01:05:07.199 --> 01:05:09.199 working with seven and probably went back to being crazy 1196 01:05:09.280 --> 01:05:12.639 cool cool cool. Yeah. I mean, I don't know they 1197 01:05:12.719 --> 01:05:15.960 licensed those five even give us another five more. It's 1198 01:05:15.960 --> 01:05:19.400 been more than a year though, which is crazy. I 1199 01:05:19.400 --> 01:05:23.840 don't know. Come on, we've got from VCI on April 1200 01:05:23.920 --> 01:05:26.880 twenty first to double feature of the Crawling Hand and 1201 01:05:26.960 --> 01:05:30.400 the Slime People. This is coming out as Creepy Creatures 1202 01:05:30.440 --> 01:05:33.519 as a double feature, and what's crazy is they poured 1203 01:05:33.519 --> 01:05:35.639 it over all of the extras from the previous releases, 1204 01:05:35.679 --> 01:05:39.800 including the Tom Weaver commentaries, and then this is going 1205 01:05:39.840 --> 01:05:42.719 to have a slip cover on the first fifteen hundred units, 1206 01:05:42.719 --> 01:05:48.400 which for VCI, that's wild. I have never seen either 1207 01:05:48.440 --> 01:05:49.800 one of these Howards. They're great. 1208 01:05:50.199 --> 01:05:53.599 Ultimately, they're great. I don't know about the transfers. I 1209 01:05:53.639 --> 01:05:55.960 have no idea even what the masters are like or 1210 01:05:56.079 --> 01:05:59.800 you know what, it wouldn't matter because both of these 1211 01:06:00.119 --> 01:06:04.079 or I think when when they were at their peak 1212 01:06:04.159 --> 01:06:07.840 on TV, you know, and like this nineteen seventies, you know, 1213 01:06:08.000 --> 01:06:13.079 Saturday Morning, they looked like they were shot on toilet paper, 1214 01:06:13.119 --> 01:06:17.079 like printed on toilet paper. Very worst. It's part of 1215 01:06:17.119 --> 01:06:19.840 the abviance anyway, So I wouldn't go. It would be 1216 01:06:19.840 --> 01:06:22.320 great if they finally but VCI, you know, it's hit 1217 01:06:22.440 --> 01:06:22.760 or miss. 1218 01:06:22.760 --> 01:06:24.599 I really don't know, but. 1219 01:06:24.920 --> 01:06:30.559 Both movies, I have to say. Crawling Hand is extremely disturbing. 1220 01:06:31.480 --> 01:06:36.039 It's a really good, really really good little I guess 1221 01:06:36.039 --> 01:06:39.400 sci fi horror film that I can recommend it. And 1222 01:06:39.480 --> 01:06:42.599 Slime People the same thing. It's just like it's just 1223 01:06:42.639 --> 01:06:46.679 a great you know, early sixties Saturday Morning, you know, 1224 01:06:46.840 --> 01:06:48.519 horror things. 1225 01:06:48.159 --> 01:06:48.880 Matt and a thing. 1226 01:06:49.280 --> 01:06:52.519 So I'd be into at least checking it out. But 1227 01:06:52.679 --> 01:06:56.039 again I wouldn't get hopes too high technically, but you know, 1228 01:06:56.159 --> 01:06:59.760 you know, I have no idea. I haven't haven't really 1229 01:06:59.760 --> 01:07:02.440 seen a vc I released in a long time, so 1230 01:07:03.440 --> 01:07:06.159 you know, I'm glad. So apparently these were released before 1231 01:07:06.559 --> 01:07:08.320 or I know they were on d v D. Didn't 1232 01:07:08.360 --> 01:07:13.239 Rhino put them out on the sounds right, Yeah, yeah, 1233 01:07:13.400 --> 01:07:15.719 I think the Border Books used to sell them for like, 1234 01:07:15.880 --> 01:07:18.920 you know, three ninety nine. In the video, I mean that, 1235 01:07:19.280 --> 01:07:21.760 I remember it looked good enough. But I don't know 1236 01:07:21.760 --> 01:07:23.360 what these new transfers are. 1237 01:07:23.239 --> 01:07:25.840 Going to be. But I would rush them in the movies. 1238 01:07:27.360 --> 01:07:33.519 Especially Crawling Hand I think is pretty cool, actually very disturbing. Yeah, 1239 01:07:33.679 --> 01:07:34.440 that's a good movie. 1240 01:07:35.039 --> 01:07:38.159 Next up another Full Moon title, Maroid, coming to Blu 1241 01:07:38.239 --> 01:07:41.400 Ray for the first time ever on April seventh. This 1242 01:07:41.480 --> 01:07:43.360 is going to have the original video zone on the here, 1243 01:07:43.440 --> 01:07:47.119 original trailer, and then a Full Moon features trailer compilation. 1244 01:07:47.239 --> 01:07:50.360 I believe this is going to include Robert Simon's from 1245 01:07:50.400 --> 01:07:54.159 The Exorcist and yeah Android from ninety three. Have you 1246 01:07:54.239 --> 01:07:55.159 not seen this one either? 1247 01:07:56.360 --> 01:07:59.440 No, come close a couple of times because the title 1248 01:07:59.519 --> 01:08:03.440 is great, So it is great. But I know again, 1249 01:08:03.679 --> 01:08:05.079 it's good to know it's coming. 1250 01:08:06.119 --> 01:08:10.119 Yay full Moon. Next up from this year, Lurker is 1251 01:08:10.159 --> 01:08:12.679 coming on March third on Blu Ray and DVD from movie. 1252 01:08:13.159 --> 01:08:16.359 Sadly no extras on this film. I will say I 1253 01:08:16.479 --> 01:08:21.600 highly recommend this one. This is like a cringe super 1254 01:08:21.640 --> 01:08:26.359 fan type of situation and everything is awkward to the 1255 01:08:26.439 --> 01:08:29.720 nth degree. The acting in this though, is incredible. There's 1256 01:08:29.720 --> 01:08:32.079 a couple of people in this movie that seem like 1257 01:08:32.319 --> 01:08:35.279 they have been their characters their entire lives, and it 1258 01:08:35.359 --> 01:08:38.239 is just so well made. I appreciated this film a lot. 1259 01:08:38.319 --> 01:08:40.680 I liked it enough when I left the theater, but 1260 01:08:40.760 --> 01:08:43.359 this one is weighed on me all summer and into 1261 01:08:43.399 --> 01:08:45.319 the fall. This is a great movie. Cool. 1262 01:08:45.800 --> 01:08:50.800 I haven't seen it, just on that recommendation alone. 1263 01:08:51.800 --> 01:08:54.439 These I believe that you have seen. March third, we 1264 01:08:54.439 --> 01:08:58.239 beget a blue ray coming from Film Masters called Monster Mayhem, 1265 01:08:58.239 --> 01:08:59.920 and this is a collection of four films that have 1266 01:09:00.159 --> 01:09:02.680 been recently out of print and now you can get 1267 01:09:02.680 --> 01:09:05.880 them all in one package on two press discs. We've 1268 01:09:05.880 --> 01:09:08.600 got the Monster from Green Hell, Frankenstein's Daughter, Giant from 1269 01:09:08.640 --> 01:09:11.960 the Unknown, and The Brain from Planet Aarus. And this 1270 01:09:12.039 --> 01:09:15.880 will bring on the commentaries that were on the previous releases, 1271 01:09:15.960 --> 01:09:20.520 those with Tom Weaver Gary Krutcher. We've got a couple 1272 01:09:20.560 --> 01:09:26.000 other special productions, especially with Steven Arbissett and then Bally 1273 01:09:26.039 --> 01:09:28.279 who Motion Pictures did a couple of things for this. 1274 01:09:29.199 --> 01:09:30.800 Which of these is the best? 1275 01:09:30.840 --> 01:09:33.960 In your These are all great, I mean they're all great, 1276 01:09:33.960 --> 01:09:36.960 But I actually say I love Film Master just so 1277 01:09:37.079 --> 01:09:39.439 I loved working that did a couple of things for 1278 01:09:39.479 --> 01:09:44.640 them too. But I honestly would have loved an opportunity 1279 01:09:44.680 --> 01:09:48.119 to do Giant from the Unknown because Kevin Maher and 1280 01:09:48.159 --> 01:09:52.000 I we actually were it was one of those things 1281 01:09:52.000 --> 01:09:55.279 where we were there is an amazing dummy death in 1282 01:09:55.319 --> 01:09:58.680 that movie. But it's such an actually like sort of 1283 01:10:00.159 --> 01:10:07.399 unintentionally intelligent film culturally, like it was just a smart movie, 1284 01:10:08.039 --> 01:10:11.720 and Kevin had this absolutely brilliant, uh deconstruction of it, 1285 01:10:11.840 --> 01:10:13.880 and we were always you know, on the on the 1286 01:10:13.920 --> 01:10:18.159 cusp of of doing it, you know, drawing out notes, 1287 01:10:18.239 --> 01:10:21.079 drawing out notes, but then something else would take take 1288 01:10:21.119 --> 01:10:24.079 over me would just like I really would have had 1289 01:10:24.079 --> 01:10:25.680 I even known they were doing this, I would have 1290 01:10:25.800 --> 01:10:29.479 I would have offered to do uh that at that 1291 01:10:29.560 --> 01:10:31.880 deconstruction for them for that movie. A Giant from the 1292 01:10:31.960 --> 01:10:35.800 Unknown alone is just a really cool film. But these 1293 01:10:35.800 --> 01:10:39.520 are all great movies, I mean, legitimately great movies like 1294 01:10:39.720 --> 01:10:43.560 Bring from Planet Arrows is. I mean, there's something incredibly 1295 01:10:43.600 --> 01:10:47.000 memorable in all of them, so I mean, you know, 1296 01:10:47.239 --> 01:10:49.279 it's from an era, and none of these movies were 1297 01:10:49.319 --> 01:10:56.319 made to be critically assessed. You know, they were just 1298 01:10:56.520 --> 01:11:00.680 churned out, which to me, we're feels a hell of 1299 01:11:00.720 --> 01:11:04.199 a lot about you know, the filmmakers, that people who 1300 01:11:04.239 --> 01:11:07.479 write it. So I mean, you can, you know, you 1301 01:11:07.479 --> 01:11:10.439 can say these are you know, crap films, you know whatever, 1302 01:11:10.560 --> 01:11:13.600 whatever your your your level is. But honestly, I if 1303 01:11:13.640 --> 01:11:21.159 you're interested in watching some unusually intelligent crap movies, I 1304 01:11:21.159 --> 01:11:23.600 guess I don't know what you know, it's just it's 1305 01:11:23.720 --> 01:11:26.800 just being, you know, a d Z movie filler. These 1306 01:11:26.840 --> 01:11:29.359 are these are the four four really great ones. So 1307 01:11:29.640 --> 01:11:32.079 you know, it's not you know, I definitely think it's 1308 01:11:32.079 --> 01:11:34.920 probably a worthwhile purchase. It's great, great. 1309 01:11:34.760 --> 01:11:37.479 Headcoop says Howard. You should do that as a commentary 1310 01:11:37.520 --> 01:11:39.199 and put it on YouTube so that we can sync 1311 01:11:39.239 --> 01:11:40.399 it up and watch the film with it. 1312 01:11:41.439 --> 01:11:43.159 I may just do the essay anyway and put it 1313 01:11:43.239 --> 01:11:46.920 up just like this, and finally, now somebody might be 1314 01:11:47.079 --> 01:11:49.760 watching it, so I hear, all right, I might just 1315 01:11:49.840 --> 01:11:52.159 throw that up. But it's it's it's better. It's better 1316 01:11:52.199 --> 01:11:54.680 as an essay because you got to hear Kevin Kevin's 1317 01:11:55.079 --> 01:11:58.439 Kevin's take is just genius. I mean, like it usually is, 1318 01:11:58.479 --> 01:12:01.640 but this is really to me. Yeah, Giants and the 1319 01:12:01.680 --> 01:12:04.279 Unknown love to hear if people think of that one, 1320 01:12:04.319 --> 01:12:05.439 that's a great movie. 1321 01:12:06.479 --> 01:12:09.279 Well, we're not going to fly through these. But everything 1322 01:12:09.279 --> 01:12:12.720 else tonight is all film masters. So Howard and I 1323 01:12:12.760 --> 01:12:17.039 have both worked with filmmasters before. I respect the hell 1324 01:12:17.039 --> 01:12:19.199 out of those guys. They put a lot of thought 1325 01:12:19.239 --> 01:12:21.479 into what they're doing. A lot of their choices are 1326 01:12:21.479 --> 01:12:24.760 public domain, and they're not getting like the best materials, 1327 01:12:24.800 --> 01:12:27.479 so keep that in mind. However, they are usually brand 1328 01:12:27.479 --> 01:12:31.039 new four K or two K scans. Quite often they're 1329 01:12:31.079 --> 01:12:34.039 not necessarily restored to what you would expect from like 1330 01:12:34.079 --> 01:12:36.520 a boutique release. But the other big plus is most 1331 01:12:36.520 --> 01:12:39.199 of these are quite inexpensive. So if any of these 1332 01:12:39.239 --> 01:12:42.359 movies peque your interest, write them down. I believe you 1333 01:12:42.399 --> 01:12:46.640 can look at their website and see rough date. For 1334 01:12:46.680 --> 01:12:48.640 most of these, I've just got like a month that 1335 01:12:48.640 --> 01:12:50.720 they're coming out. We don't even have a specific date yet, 1336 01:12:50.720 --> 01:12:53.520 but we should be finding that out soon. So next 1337 01:12:53.600 --> 01:12:56.920 up is The Black Six from nineteen seventy nine. Oh yay, 1338 01:12:58.279 --> 01:13:01.720 this is coming in a limited collect limited edition collection 1339 01:13:01.840 --> 01:13:05.199 release here soon. No no month, no no date, no estimation. 1340 01:13:05.319 --> 01:13:08.239 Or anything like that. This will have a commentary from 1341 01:13:08.399 --> 01:13:12.520 Robert Kelly and Daniel Budnick, and that is it. These 1342 01:13:12.640 --> 01:13:15.439 these limited edition titles always have a slipcover and then 1343 01:13:15.600 --> 01:13:18.560 they've got a booklet with an essay. But that's all 1344 01:13:18.600 --> 01:13:20.920 we know at the moment. This is interesting. I believe 1345 01:13:20.960 --> 01:13:24.520 this was also unrestored, but it was also included on 1346 01:13:24.520 --> 01:13:27.319 one of the AGFA releases over the last year. So 1347 01:13:27.680 --> 01:13:29.439 nice to see this getting one that will have a 1348 01:13:29.840 --> 01:13:34.800 nice restoration and a full release and with some contextual extras. 1349 01:13:35.399 --> 01:13:38.880 Great movie, Matt simber Right, I. 1350 01:13:38.840 --> 01:13:40.760 Believe so, and I've never seen this one. 1351 01:13:41.159 --> 01:13:43.439 This one great movie. 1352 01:13:43.560 --> 01:13:48.520 Yep. Next up is Shirley Temple, coming on Blu ray 1353 01:13:48.520 --> 01:13:51.680 and DVD from Filmmasters in March. In the Little Princess. 1354 01:13:52.439 --> 01:13:54.680 This one is interesting because it is going to get 1355 01:13:54.720 --> 01:13:56.520 a brand new two K or four K scan, we 1356 01:13:56.520 --> 01:13:59.119 don't know which yet. There will not be any extras 1357 01:13:59.159 --> 01:14:01.800 on it at all, but there will be subtitles. But 1358 01:14:01.840 --> 01:14:04.039 the big thing is this was a Fox title and 1359 01:14:04.079 --> 01:14:05.680 this is now in the public domain, so that's the 1360 01:14:05.680 --> 01:14:07.520 only reason they're able to even put this out. So 1361 01:14:07.960 --> 01:14:10.479 this is like, if you want this on physical media, 1362 01:14:10.640 --> 01:14:15.439 this may not happen much. So check out the Shirley 1363 01:14:15.479 --> 01:14:16.119 Temple release. 1364 01:14:16.479 --> 01:14:18.600 It's actually a really good movie too, So I mean 1365 01:14:18.640 --> 01:14:22.520 it's not like Shirley Temple. Why, I mean give it 1366 01:14:22.600 --> 01:14:24.359 you know, read a little bit about it, and I 1367 01:14:24.399 --> 01:14:25.479 think I think it's that. 1368 01:14:25.840 --> 01:14:26.960 To me, it's a shame. 1369 01:14:27.039 --> 01:14:31.319 There's no contextual info with it. That's a that's a shame. 1370 01:14:31.359 --> 01:14:33.600 There's no extras. But I think it's probably in the 1371 01:14:33.640 --> 01:14:37.960 contract whatever, the licensing contract. But great movie, good movie. 1372 01:14:38.720 --> 01:14:40.760 My big thing is it's a shame that we're not 1373 01:14:40.760 --> 01:14:43.479 going to ever get like most of the Shirley Temple releases, 1374 01:14:43.520 --> 01:14:47.920 a nice big, you know, extravagant restorations with a bunch 1375 01:14:48.000 --> 01:14:51.840 of supplements because they they're they're important. They were huge films. 1376 01:14:51.840 --> 01:14:55.239 Of course. Yeah, time marches on, right. 1377 01:14:55.960 --> 01:14:59.880 It's true. Next up is The Snows of killiman Jarro 1378 01:15:00.039 --> 01:15:02.279 from nineteen fifty two. This is coming in March on 1379 01:15:02.319 --> 01:15:05.399 Blu Ray DVD. This is the Gregory Peckins wu'san Hayward 1380 01:15:05.439 --> 01:15:08.640 film again two K or four K scan and there 1381 01:15:08.680 --> 01:15:11.319 will be no supplements, but be able to get it 1382 01:15:11.359 --> 01:15:16.079 on Blu Ray and DVD. Tell us about it, Howard, Now, just. 1383 01:15:16.039 --> 01:15:22.880 Another great, you know, really really cool, cool movie. I'm 1384 01:15:22.880 --> 01:15:26.680 trying to remember who the director was. I think it 1385 01:15:26.720 --> 01:15:29.399 was Henry King. It's the other, It's the other, Henry 1386 01:15:29.560 --> 01:15:32.880 Henry Levin, and there's Henry King. Henry Henry King did 1387 01:15:32.880 --> 01:15:36.600 a lot of greg the Gregory Peck twentieth century Fox stuff, 1388 01:15:37.079 --> 01:15:40.439 and this was a big if I'm right, this was 1389 01:15:40.479 --> 01:15:43.840 a big Darryl Zannik early you know, big Daryl Zannic 1390 01:15:43.920 --> 01:15:48.720 production for that era. If there's one reason to see it, 1391 01:15:48.760 --> 01:15:52.960 I mean, you have an amazing cast. If anyone's big 1392 01:15:52.960 --> 01:15:55.279 fans of like the Seventh Old Age of Sinbad, the 1393 01:15:55.600 --> 01:16:03.520 the Evil Wizard in that by Torren Thatcher, he's in 1394 01:16:03.560 --> 01:16:07.000 this and he's pretty memorable in this film. But the 1395 01:16:07.000 --> 01:16:10.680 real reason to watch it is because the cinematographer of 1396 01:16:10.720 --> 01:16:13.680 the Franklin Schaffner the sixty eight Planet of the Apes, 1397 01:16:14.199 --> 01:16:22.279 Leon Shamroy, shot it and it is literally one of 1398 01:16:22.279 --> 01:16:25.119 a kind. It's really great. So it's a shame there's 1399 01:16:25.199 --> 01:16:28.399 no extras, because this film, of all things, would call 1400 01:16:28.479 --> 01:16:31.840 for it. There's so many amazing people involved in this, 1401 01:16:32.439 --> 01:16:35.279 you know movie, but great, a great film. I don't 1402 01:16:35.279 --> 01:16:38.039 think anyone be disappointed unless it's just a you know, 1403 01:16:38.600 --> 01:16:41.520 a mediocre you know, transfer or something, but it's a 1404 01:16:41.600 --> 01:16:46.319 it's a wild, great epic. You know, it's it's Hemingway. 1405 01:16:46.399 --> 01:16:49.439 So you know, you're get you're already going to get something. Uh. 1406 01:16:49.760 --> 01:16:54.000 Anytimes a major studio tries to adapt Hemingway, especially in 1407 01:16:54.039 --> 01:16:56.960 that era where Hemingway was actually you know, still alive, 1408 01:16:57.760 --> 01:17:00.800 pretty perverse. So there's there's there's a lot of you know, 1409 01:17:01.560 --> 01:17:05.920 cool juxtapositions between the source material and you know, the 1410 01:17:05.960 --> 01:17:10.199 actual the actual film version. Great, great reason to watch 1411 01:17:10.199 --> 01:17:11.920 it alone. Great good films, great film. 1412 01:17:12.520 --> 01:17:15.279 Another good reason to watch a movie is William Holden. 1413 01:17:15.520 --> 01:17:19.119 William Holden is in nineteen forties Our Town coming in 1414 01:17:19.159 --> 01:17:21.640 March on Blu Ray DVD from Filmasters, same thing two 1415 01:17:21.720 --> 01:17:24.279 K or four K scan, no supplements, but nice to 1416 01:17:24.319 --> 01:17:30.720 see this come out. You can look to hear that well. 1417 01:17:30.560 --> 01:17:32.439 I mean, you know, these are you know, these movies 1418 01:17:32.439 --> 01:17:35.000 that when they come out, I kind of like hope 1419 01:17:35.159 --> 01:17:38.319 that I get some context for finally, you know, I like, 1420 01:17:38.640 --> 01:17:40.960 you know, I love I love the people that are 1421 01:17:41.119 --> 01:17:45.439 that are being asked to participate and share their knowledge 1422 01:17:45.520 --> 01:17:49.680 to research and their their own perceptions. We're getting some 1423 01:17:49.840 --> 01:17:53.520 really really good people in the past, especially in the 1424 01:17:53.560 --> 01:17:57.479 past year, surfacing up. So you know, it's just a shame. 1425 01:17:57.840 --> 01:18:01.399 But you know, the movie good enough. Let's get a 1426 01:18:01.399 --> 01:18:03.159 great version of the movie and then you know, I 1427 01:18:03.199 --> 01:18:06.600 can always go do my own research. Good good film. 1428 01:18:07.159 --> 01:18:09.439 We got. Another one of those coming from nineteen thirty 1429 01:18:09.479 --> 01:18:12.239 six is Dancing Pirate. This is coming in March on 1430 01:18:12.279 --> 01:18:15.319 Blu Ray DVD. Same thing, most supplements two K or 1431 01:18:15.319 --> 01:18:17.720 four K scan. We'll figure that out eventually. There will 1432 01:18:17.720 --> 01:18:21.640 be subtitles. This is the first dancing musical in one 1433 01:18:21.720 --> 01:18:24.760 hundred percent new technicolor as advertised the cover. 1434 01:18:25.279 --> 01:18:28.920 Wow, well maybe sometimes that's all you need. But Dancing 1435 01:18:29.000 --> 01:18:33.560 Pirates no context. It hurts, you know, I want no context. 1436 01:18:33.800 --> 01:18:36.479 Just would I would love just like, you know, the 1437 01:18:36.479 --> 01:18:40.199 film on one disc and like three discs of just 1438 01:18:40.880 --> 01:18:44.079 context for that one. I've never heard of this thing, 1439 01:18:44.199 --> 01:18:45.800 so I am very excited. 1440 01:18:45.399 --> 01:18:51.359 Too amazing. Next up is The North Star. This is 1441 01:18:51.359 --> 01:18:53.720 coming in March on Blu Ray DVD. This is from 1442 01:18:53.760 --> 01:18:56.800 nineteen forty three. It says a Ukrainian village must suddenly 1443 01:18:56.840 --> 01:18:59.560 contend with the Nazi invasion of June nineteen forty one. 1444 01:19:00.119 --> 01:19:03.920 Later re edited and released as Armored Attack. This one 1445 01:19:04.119 --> 01:19:06.840 again two K or four K scan, no supplements, but 1446 01:19:06.880 --> 01:19:09.439 it will have subtitles. That is all we got. Have 1447 01:19:09.479 --> 01:19:10.720 you seen this one? 1448 01:19:11.399 --> 01:19:17.239 I think I have seen it under Armored Attack, which 1449 01:19:17.399 --> 01:19:19.479 might have been I don't know if that's a slightly 1450 01:19:19.560 --> 01:19:23.720 different version. I'm not sure, but it's Lewis Milestone. So 1451 01:19:23.880 --> 01:19:27.239 I've been you know, I've definitely been a fan. And 1452 01:19:27.640 --> 01:19:30.079 it's weird to think, I don't know, I mean's shot 1453 01:19:30.159 --> 01:19:33.960 by one of the greatest cinematog going. Everyone's one of 1454 01:19:34.000 --> 01:19:35.479 the greatest cinematographers of all. 1455 01:19:35.399 --> 01:19:36.000 Time back then. 1456 01:19:36.079 --> 01:19:41.720 But James Wong Howe who shot John Frankenheimer's Seconds, and 1457 01:19:41.800 --> 01:19:44.920 he shot the Molly mcguires And if any I did 1458 01:19:45.000 --> 01:19:48.880 the the commentary and the extra for the imprint version 1459 01:19:48.880 --> 01:19:52.760 of the Molly mcguires, yes, thank you, thank you. If 1460 01:19:53.479 --> 01:19:58.199 anyone wants to understand where James Wong Howe ended up, 1461 01:19:58.720 --> 01:20:01.239 my god, not far from he started off. This guy 1462 01:20:01.359 --> 01:20:04.720 was just like innovator out of the gate. When you know, 1463 01:20:05.119 --> 01:20:09.960 one of one of the very few Asian cinematographers who 1464 01:20:10.039 --> 01:20:13.119 got you know, the prestige treatment in Hollywood. He's just 1465 01:20:13.159 --> 01:20:15.800 an innovator. And brilliant. But the movie is another one 1466 01:20:15.840 --> 01:20:16.600 of these movies, man. 1467 01:20:16.640 --> 01:20:18.000 I mean it's just like he. 1468 01:20:18.000 --> 01:20:20.600 Got some you got a brilliant group of people making 1469 01:20:20.640 --> 01:20:24.720 this thing. So yeah, I mean a hundred. I would definitely, 1470 01:20:24.840 --> 01:20:27.960 you know, yeah, I mean Lewis Milestone, he did you know, 1471 01:20:28.239 --> 01:20:31.640 I'm all Quiet on the Western Front, the nineteen thirties version, 1472 01:20:32.600 --> 01:20:36.680 he did well. I think it was probably mainly directed 1473 01:20:36.720 --> 01:20:41.079 by Marlon Brando, but Brando's Mutiny on the Bounty, you know, 1474 01:20:41.399 --> 01:20:45.359 but he but He's done some amazing, amazing movies, so 1475 01:20:45.439 --> 01:20:47.279 I definitely give it a shot. Especially it's such a 1476 01:20:47.319 --> 01:20:50.800 rare title. I mean, it really isn't you know never. 1477 01:20:51.000 --> 01:20:53.479 You don't really hear about this, But it's a cool film. 1478 01:20:54.680 --> 01:20:56.680 You shouted it out, so I'll give it another moment 1479 01:20:56.800 --> 01:20:59.560 in the sun here. But The Molly Maguires is a 1480 01:20:59.560 --> 01:21:02.960 film that I just on the surface of it, was 1481 01:21:03.039 --> 01:21:05.840 not super interested in, took a chance on it ended 1482 01:21:05.920 --> 01:21:09.079 up loving that movie. There are so many compelling moments, 1483 01:21:09.119 --> 01:21:12.279 and then the way that they shoot, like these fucking 1484 01:21:12.359 --> 01:21:14.520 explosions in this movie look so great. 1485 01:21:15.199 --> 01:21:20.319 Yeah, I mean, especially if you're stoned. I mean, this 1486 01:21:20.359 --> 01:21:24.199 is Martin Ritt, who did you know Casey's Shadow and 1487 01:21:24.840 --> 01:21:28.439 j Norma Ray very socially conscious in this movie is 1488 01:21:28.800 --> 01:21:34.680 very socially conscious. But Walter Bernstein, who was blacklisted, brilliant writer, 1489 01:21:34.720 --> 01:21:38.279 who was blacklisted for years in the fifties and was 1490 01:21:38.439 --> 01:21:41.960 you know, coming out of that blacklist nineteen seventies the 1491 01:21:42.039 --> 01:21:44.760 end of the sixties, he wrote the script for it, 1492 01:21:45.600 --> 01:21:49.239 very hands on with the production. And Martin is just 1493 01:21:49.279 --> 01:21:53.960 a brilliant under Even though he has always been highly rated, 1494 01:21:54.039 --> 01:21:59.720 he's he's underrated or under discussed. I mean, it's sort 1495 01:21:59.760 --> 01:22:02.840 of like he was from that period of time in 1496 01:22:02.880 --> 01:22:06.079 the fifties and sixties with you know, the these kind 1497 01:22:06.119 --> 01:22:08.760 of movies. He came up around the same time and 1498 01:22:08.760 --> 01:22:13.479 as Sidney Lamett, uh and you know, but this movie 1499 01:22:14.199 --> 01:22:20.000 showed that he working very closely, you know, with Bernstein. 1500 01:22:21.000 --> 01:22:27.880 Molly Maguires is just a really cinematic film. It's it's 1501 01:22:27.920 --> 01:22:30.840 it's has a great script, good but a brilliant structure 1502 01:22:31.359 --> 01:22:34.159 that definitely goes in and out. 1503 01:22:34.039 --> 01:22:34.840 Of of. 1504 01:22:36.319 --> 01:22:40.560 Really truly poetic cinema. Great great movie and if you 1505 01:22:40.680 --> 01:22:48.680 are even slightly buzzed, you'll be thanking stars for natural chemicals. 1506 01:22:48.800 --> 01:22:53.399 It's really fantastic trippy movie, really tribut movie, but a 1507 01:22:53.880 --> 01:22:57.960 great and incredible I mean really the dynamics of the 1508 01:22:58.000 --> 01:23:01.199 cast lates that Samantha Eggar, I can't believe she passed 1509 01:23:01.199 --> 01:23:04.319 away this year from the Brew the Mama from the Brood. 1510 01:23:04.880 --> 01:23:09.439 She's amazing. But Richard Harris and Sean Connery at Connor 1511 01:23:09.600 --> 01:23:13.439 is great loggerheads and another the whole cast, Anthony Zerby 1512 01:23:13.439 --> 01:23:17.000 If anyone's Anthony Anthony zerbey Fan, I was lucky enough 1513 01:23:17.039 --> 01:23:20.439 to do a phone con injury with him. He was 1514 01:23:20.439 --> 01:23:24.960 a lovely guy. I'm pretty frank about stuff. It was 1515 01:23:25.000 --> 01:23:26.760 a little featurette that I did for that disc as 1516 01:23:26.760 --> 01:23:30.199 well as the commentary. But really great, great movie. So 1517 01:23:30.199 --> 01:23:32.800 I'm glad. I'm glad there's a champion of that out there. 1518 01:23:32.800 --> 01:23:37.159 I appreciate that. Ryan, that's great that it hooked you. 1519 01:23:37.800 --> 01:23:39.439 Great movie, It was good. It was a good one. 1520 01:23:39.680 --> 01:23:40.880 Sean Connery was great in it. 1521 01:23:41.439 --> 01:23:44.439 All right, next up.

We don't 1528 01:24:03.119 --> 01:24:05.039 need to dive too much into this, but I love 1529 01:24:05.079 --> 01:24:07.439 that we cover this right after Howard says, get buzzed 1530 01:24:07.439 --> 01:24:15.039 a walk.

I need to see 1537 01:24:34.880 --> 01:24:35.560 this one for sure. 1538 01:24:36.479 --> 01:24:41.840 Yeah, yeah, I mean I had seen. I think I 1539 01:24:41.880 --> 01:24:45.840 saw this from a literally it must have been like 1540 01:24:46.560 --> 01:24:51.279 one of my first months, like in freshman year of college, 1541 01:24:51.520 --> 01:24:54.039 and we were invited over to someone's house. We had 1542 01:24:54.079 --> 01:24:56.479 a print of this and a bunch of us an 1543 01:24:56.520 --> 01:24:59.880 Anime Wang fanatic, and we saw a bunch a bunch 1544 01:25:00.039 --> 01:25:03.880 of her stuff and it was really pushing the pushing 1545 01:25:03.920 --> 01:25:08.079 the limit of censorship at the time. So I don't 1546 01:25:08.119 --> 01:25:10.479 remember specifics about the movie that I do remember that 1547 01:25:10.520 --> 01:25:12.760 we loved everything we watched. It's so magical. 1548 01:25:14.560 --> 01:25:16.840 I love a review like that. It was good. Don't 1549 01:25:16.880 --> 01:25:18.119 remember anything about it, but it was good. 1550 01:25:20.079 --> 01:25:23.640 It's it looks it's it's the crime of just getting older. 1551 01:25:24.520 --> 01:25:26.600 And watching a billion movies you. 1552 01:25:26.600 --> 01:25:29.319 Know when you were younger, completely stone. 1553 01:25:30.079 --> 01:25:35.279 So you know, yep, read for madness, folks. Uh, next life. 1554 01:25:36.359 --> 01:25:39.359 The Black Raven from nineteen forty three coming in February 1555 01:25:39.479 --> 01:25:41.640 is part of that line. Same thing, two K or 1556 01:25:41.680 --> 01:25:45.399 four K scan uh, no supplements And I know nothing 1557 01:25:45.399 --> 01:25:46.760 about this one? Is this film, you. 1558 01:25:46.680 --> 01:25:50.000 Know, the Black Raven. I'm just checking to see if 1559 01:25:50.000 --> 01:25:51.399 it's the one that I do know. 1560 01:25:52.560 --> 01:25:55.439 Let me see George Zuka, Wanda McKay and it says 1561 01:25:55.479 --> 01:25:57.640 one dark and Stormy Night convict. 1562 01:25:58.199 --> 01:26:01.479 Yeah, yeah, it's great. It's a it's it's a little hybrid. Uh, 1563 01:26:03.680 --> 01:26:06.880 it's like a it's like a it's like the Well 1564 01:26:07.039 --> 01:26:08.720 I was gonna say, it's a lot like The Raven. 1565 01:26:11.000 --> 01:26:12.359 It's one of those things that just sort of like 1566 01:26:12.720 --> 01:26:16.720 they didn't wanna that they were. It is a poverty 1567 01:26:16.840 --> 01:26:21.600 Row production, you know. So George Zuko is amazing as always. 1568 01:26:21.680 --> 01:26:22.279 This guy was. 1569 01:26:22.800 --> 01:26:25.239 If no one's familiar with him, this is what's in 1570 01:26:25.279 --> 01:26:27.920 my head. Everyone knows what I know or experience, what 1571 01:26:28.000 --> 01:26:31.680 I experience, and I'm like, wow, I'm realizing that, you know, 1572 01:26:32.640 --> 01:26:34.319 they don't they don't have the venue, you know, the 1573 01:26:34.359 --> 01:26:37.479 outlets to see these type of things anymore. Maybe YouTube 1574 01:26:37.520 --> 01:26:41.439 has taken over, you know, you know, Saturday afternoon TV 1575 01:26:41.560 --> 01:26:44.640 stations like you know, syndicated, you know, I don't know. 1576 01:26:45.199 --> 01:26:48.039 But Black Raven, yeah from uh It's it's not one 1577 01:26:48.039 --> 01:26:50.680 of the ones that got heavy attention. But George Zuko 1578 01:26:50.840 --> 01:26:54.319 is you know, he was from like The Flying Serpent, 1579 01:26:54.640 --> 01:26:58.840 and I mean he's some universal stuff. He's a good villain, 1580 01:26:58.920 --> 01:27:01.920 but he's a was a really sharp actor, really cool, 1581 01:27:02.119 --> 01:27:04.840 so he's anything he ever did was great. Sam Newfield 1582 01:27:04.960 --> 01:27:08.199 is also pretty cool the director, which I really like. 1583 01:27:08.279 --> 01:27:12.479 But it is there are not just mystery elements or 1584 01:27:12.520 --> 01:27:15.159 thriller elements, but are there's some horror elements in this 1585 01:27:15.239 --> 01:27:17.800 It's only like is it even an hour long? I 1586 01:27:17.800 --> 01:27:21.600 don't even know if it's an hour long? But great 1587 01:27:21.640 --> 01:27:24.439 that it's great that it's coming out. So yeah, from 1588 01:27:24.479 --> 01:27:29.279 my five or six year old viewing of it, because 1589 01:27:29.279 --> 01:27:31.159 it's not not a common one, that's why I think 1590 01:27:31.199 --> 01:27:34.359 it's great. I would definitely, you know, I would jump 1591 01:27:34.359 --> 01:27:37.920 at this one. It's better than what you would imagine 1592 01:27:38.079 --> 01:27:40.079 from what I remember, and I remember thinking it was 1593 01:27:40.079 --> 01:27:42.880 pretty cool, but it didn't get the play that some 1594 01:27:42.920 --> 01:27:44.079 of these other ones did. 1595 01:27:44.119 --> 01:27:47.720 Of course. All right, last up for the entire week. 1596 01:27:47.800 --> 01:27:51.399 Already done with the announcements we've got in January, a 1597 01:27:51.560 --> 01:27:54.079 Blu ray and DVD coming of the Second Woman from 1598 01:27:54.159 --> 01:27:57.039 nineteen fifty. This is a Robert Young and Betsy Drake film, 1599 01:27:57.560 --> 01:28:00.199 again two K or four K scan. No supplements will 1600 01:28:00.239 --> 01:28:03.720 be subtitled. This one says in flashback from a Rebecca 1601 01:28:03.760 --> 01:28:07.279 style beginning, Ellen Foster, visiting Rands on the California Coast, 1602 01:28:07.279 --> 01:28:12.600 meets neighbor je cohalan colon let's not call it colon 1603 01:28:12.640 --> 01:28:15.600 that sounds funny and his ultra modern cliff top house. 1604 01:28:15.880 --> 01:28:18.600 Ellen is strongly attracted to Jeff, who's being plagued by 1605 01:28:18.680 --> 01:28:23.600 unexplainable accidents, major and minor bad luck, persecution or paranoia, 1606 01:28:24.039 --> 01:28:26.439 war that Jeff could be dangerous. Ellen fears that he's 1607 01:28:26.479 --> 01:28:29.079 in danger as the menacing atmosphere darkens. 1608 01:28:29.359 --> 01:28:32.960 Great.

Howard Wow, Hannah Ky's 1647 01:30:28.479 --> 01:30:28.880 worth it. 1648 01:30:28.920 --> 01:30:33.920 I love Costagavres did z so he Loves did an 1649 01:30:33.960 --> 01:30:37.720 amazing movie which I don't believe has been distributed in 1650 01:30:37.800 --> 01:30:41.800 the States yet called Shock Troops from I guess like 1651 01:30:41.880 --> 01:30:46.119 nineteen sixty seven. And he also did another amazing I 1652 01:30:46.119 --> 01:30:50.359 think it was placed first film the Oh gosh, the 1653 01:30:52.239 --> 01:30:54.760 I forgot what it was called, Like the sleeping car murders, 1654 01:30:54.800 --> 01:30:59.359 That's what it was. Very tongue in cheek, very stylish cinematic. 1655 01:30:59.800 --> 01:31:02.800 Who done it that he did in like nineteen sixty 1656 01:31:02.840 --> 01:31:06.479 five Issues sixty six another good one, but Hanah kay 1657 01:31:06.560 --> 01:31:10.159 is also it's a later movie with Jill Clayburgh, who's brilliant. 1658 01:31:10.199 --> 01:31:14.239 But I'll give I'll endorse this one completely. It has 1659 01:31:14.479 --> 01:31:21.800 a it's one of these moral examinations of a time 1660 01:31:22.159 --> 01:31:25.560 at the time, a timely situation because it's pretty timely 1661 01:31:25.600 --> 01:31:31.119 now too, only it's gone far worse. Middle East lot 1662 01:31:31.399 --> 01:31:35.720 of you know. I think it's a courtroom drama. But 1663 01:31:35.800 --> 01:31:39.520 a great movie, really really cool film and an interesting discussion, 1664 01:31:39.680 --> 01:31:43.039 you know. But Keino good, I'm glad. I'm glad they're 1665 01:31:43.039 --> 01:31:45.000 doing it. It's in good hands. 1666 01:31:45.079 --> 01:31:47.720 Solid from Keno. All right, we're going to talk about 1667 01:31:47.760 --> 01:31:50.079 some of Howard's contributions. I might pepper in some of 1668 01:31:50.119 --> 01:31:53.800 my feelings for that in there as well. But my 1669 01:31:53.880 --> 01:31:56.680 big thing is as we're going through as we're going 1670 01:31:56.680 --> 01:31:58.720 through these, if you have any questions for Howard, please 1671 01:31:58.760 --> 01:32:00.319 pos us them in the chat and I will ask. 1672 01:32:00.800 --> 01:32:03.760 I'd love to get more interaction on this part because again, 1673 01:32:03.960 --> 01:32:06.119 a lot of people that work on supplements. There's not 1674 01:32:06.239 --> 01:32:09.239 a lot of feedback, there's not a lot of discourse 1675 01:32:09.359 --> 01:32:11.239 on them. There's not a lot of discussion on what 1676 01:32:11.319 --> 01:32:13.640 goes into them. So I mean, I don't think we 1677 01:32:13.680 --> 01:32:16.359 even covered this the first time that like years ago, 1678 01:32:16.359 --> 01:32:18.640 that you and I chatted. What do you look for 1679 01:32:18.680 --> 01:32:21.199 in a good supplemental feature, Howard? What is your favorite 1680 01:32:21.199 --> 01:32:22.279 type of supplemental feature? 1681 01:32:23.439 --> 01:32:26.159 Just some kind of personality from the people who make it, 1682 01:32:26.760 --> 01:32:31.039 that's honestly, I I it's funny you asked this because 1683 01:32:31.039 --> 01:32:33.640 I was just talking to a couple of people about this, 1684 01:32:33.920 --> 01:32:37.359 and you know, I think it's I always thought it 1685 01:32:37.399 --> 01:32:40.159 was great. The first thing I ever went for when 1686 01:32:40.199 --> 01:32:42.760 I was watching a disc is if you know one, 1687 01:32:42.800 --> 01:32:46.560 if they were interviews. I hadn't even you know, visual 1688 01:32:46.640 --> 01:32:49.199 essays where you know that. That always seemed like a 1689 01:32:49.199 --> 01:32:53.439 totally separate thing to me, but interviews, And I kept 1690 01:32:53.479 --> 01:32:59.479 noticing that even though I was interested in the person 1691 01:32:59.640 --> 01:33:03.479 and in the what he was or she was saying, 1692 01:33:04.239 --> 01:33:07.600 I would lose interest kind of quickly. And I went 1693 01:33:07.640 --> 01:33:09.600 back and I started watching. This is why I don't 1694 01:33:09.600 --> 01:33:13.359 get really to watch time to watch features that much. Lately. 1695 01:33:13.680 --> 01:33:16.359 I'm really watching a lot of older extras and see 1696 01:33:16.960 --> 01:33:19.640 to see what, you know, what I've missed in terms 1697 01:33:19.720 --> 01:33:22.960 of the person who was conducting the interview or editing 1698 01:33:22.960 --> 01:33:25.760 the interview. And I noticed a lot of things, and 1699 01:33:25.800 --> 01:33:28.880 I wonder what you think of this. I see like 1700 01:33:29.039 --> 01:33:32.840 a lot of a lot of interviews are they're either 1701 01:33:32.960 --> 01:33:34.760 done like a junk you know how they do it 1702 01:33:34.760 --> 01:33:38.319 for the junket interviews with like the the little the 1703 01:33:38.359 --> 01:33:41.600 back to a little backdrop set built or something go, 1704 01:33:42.039 --> 01:33:46.039 and it's always like a colorful lighting whatever. But then 1705 01:33:46.560 --> 01:33:50.079 it's never like they don't really go into Maybe this 1706 01:33:50.159 --> 01:33:53.520 is because of the company having this, they're you know, 1707 01:33:53.680 --> 01:33:56.920 having lawyers go through the tapes. That's always possible, but 1708 01:33:57.000 --> 01:34:01.800 it's never it's always like about just the film, so 1709 01:34:01.920 --> 01:34:06.600 I never get to know really who is talking. It's 1710 01:34:06.640 --> 01:34:09.840 always like a guy who showed up on set and 1711 01:34:09.960 --> 01:34:12.760 it's like it could be the greatest cinematographer or the 1712 01:34:12.760 --> 01:34:18.239 greatest director. But somehow I had a lot of these 1713 01:34:18.479 --> 01:34:22.880 these things really didn't you know, reveal much. It was 1714 01:34:22.960 --> 01:34:26.000 just seems so hemetically sealed. And do you ever notice 1715 01:34:26.039 --> 01:34:28.960 that sometimes when they have like a they'll have a 1716 01:34:29.039 --> 01:34:32.720 second camera usually like an iPhone or something, so it 1717 01:34:32.720 --> 01:34:35.800 doesn't quite match the camera anyway. I mean, it's like 1718 01:34:35.840 --> 01:34:39.680 the footage, it doesn't, but it'll just cut into like 1719 01:34:39.760 --> 01:34:43.600 a side view, and that always kind of throws me 1720 01:34:44.319 --> 01:34:47.319 that that I lose I lose, I lose focus quickly 1721 01:34:47.359 --> 01:34:51.199 because you're not You're not they're not talking to you anymore. 1722 01:34:51.359 --> 01:34:54.199 They're like suddenly they're cutting to like a side shot. 1723 01:34:55.159 --> 01:34:58.119 And I've been noticing how much that really bugs the 1724 01:34:58.159 --> 01:35:02.039 hell out of me lately. I like, I rather, I'm 1725 01:35:02.159 --> 01:35:05.880 kind of fascinated with like zoom conversations or you know, 1726 01:35:06.000 --> 01:35:10.560 film zoom conversations or something more direct where they're actually 1727 01:35:10.680 --> 01:35:17.800 looking at you as opposed to just answering questions. So 1728 01:35:18.239 --> 01:35:21.319 I kind of like, I kind of like seeing that, 1729 01:35:21.520 --> 01:35:22.920 you do you know what I'm talking about? You ever 1730 01:35:22.920 --> 01:35:25.239 seen that with the Yeah? 1731 01:35:25.479 --> 01:35:27.920 I Actually I had to edit one of these for 1732 01:35:27.960 --> 01:35:30.560 an upcoming release from Imprint semi recently that did that, 1733 01:35:30.640 --> 01:35:33.359 And the main reason was when they set up coverage, 1734 01:35:33.399 --> 01:35:35.439 the room that they were interviewing in was so small. 1735 01:35:35.880 --> 01:35:39.600 The what would be the normal B camera was literally 1736 01:35:39.680 --> 01:35:42.279 almost like a side view of the face. And the 1737 01:35:42.359 --> 01:35:45.079 reality is you're paying for that you should use it 1738 01:35:45.119 --> 01:35:47.359 at least a little bit. So I didn't overly use it, 1739 01:35:48.079 --> 01:35:50.920 but it I don't know. I do. One of the 1740 01:35:50.960 --> 01:35:53.840 big things I do like is keeping the viewer engaged, 1741 01:35:53.880 --> 01:35:55.960 and a lot of people nowadays just changing the angle 1742 01:35:56.039 --> 01:35:58.520 does that. But also of course using like clips from 1743 01:35:58.520 --> 01:36:00.960 the film or just showing footage while they speak is 1744 01:36:01.319 --> 01:36:03.319 big for that a lot of the times. So it's 1745 01:36:03.359 --> 01:36:05.800 it's nice to see, nice to see some coverage. But 1746 01:36:06.159 --> 01:36:09.319 the zoom interviews, I don't know. It depends, Like if 1747 01:36:09.680 --> 01:36:14.199 deaf crocodile, for instance, they're interviewing somebody from Moscow, we 1748 01:36:14.319 --> 01:36:17.119 can't really call in a studio and get them in 1749 01:36:17.159 --> 01:36:20.840 a studio. I get that, But a zoom zoom one 1750 01:36:20.960 --> 01:36:23.600 makes sense there. If they're in LA, I don't want, Like, 1751 01:36:24.079 --> 01:36:26.359 I don't want Shout Factory doing a zoom interview or 1752 01:36:26.359 --> 01:36:28.760 somebody else who's in LA. That doesn't make any sense 1753 01:36:28.800 --> 01:36:29.079 to me. 1754 01:36:29.640 --> 01:36:34.760 Right, Yeah, I mean it's just sometimes the smallest little thing. 1755 01:36:34.800 --> 01:36:41.000 But if I start like not paying attention to someone 1756 01:36:41.079 --> 01:36:45.399 who I'm I'm naturally interested in, but and also I 1757 01:36:45.439 --> 01:36:47.640 just like to know. I like to get to know 1758 01:36:48.319 --> 01:36:51.399 the person and his attitude or her attitude towards their 1759 01:36:51.439 --> 01:36:55.159 career or what their career was. I just had the 1760 01:36:55.199 --> 01:36:57.760 privilege of doing. And I may not speaking of this 1761 01:36:57.840 --> 01:37:00.640 may not be everyone's taste. I'm just saying you asked me, 1762 01:37:00.760 --> 01:37:01.319 so this. 1763 01:37:01.239 --> 01:37:02.319 Is this is my take. 1764 01:37:03.079 --> 01:37:06.560 I had a zoom conversation and it was in you know, 1765 01:37:06.600 --> 01:37:08.680 like you said, it was in Spain. It was done. 1766 01:37:08.800 --> 01:37:12.479 They were in Spain. It was Peter MacDonald, who was 1767 01:37:12.520 --> 01:37:17.000 like the greatest second you know, assist in the second 1768 01:37:17.039 --> 01:37:18.880 camera and cameraman. 1769 01:37:19.680 --> 01:37:21.439 I mean my whole childhood, all. 1770 01:37:21.359 --> 01:37:25.800 These British movies, these which were almost you could consider 1771 01:37:25.840 --> 01:37:31.920 them almost you know, experimental, you know, in a way. 1772 01:37:32.159 --> 01:37:39.159 He used to be Jeffrey Unsworth's cameraman, and then ultimately 1773 01:37:39.199 --> 01:37:41.359 he went on he directed, ultimately did like his own 1774 01:37:41.399 --> 01:37:44.159 He directed his own films that he directed, The Never 1775 01:37:44.279 --> 01:37:47.880 Ending Story three, I think War two or three, I 1776 01:37:47.880 --> 01:37:53.399 think three. And he also did like Rambo, uh the 1777 01:37:53.920 --> 01:37:58.720 third one, the Rambo three, and he did some you know, 1778 01:37:58.960 --> 01:38:03.640 Jean Claude van damp An amazing, but he was camera 1779 01:38:03.760 --> 01:38:10.199 on Cabaret and he did work with Unsworth on two 1780 01:38:10.279 --> 01:38:14.680 thousand and one, and he was you know, I was 1781 01:38:14.760 --> 01:38:20.079 so fortunate to set up a Zoom interview with him, 1782 01:38:20.119 --> 01:38:24.520 and he was so magnetic to me. It was like 1783 01:38:24.720 --> 01:38:28.920 a gift that he you know, you know the fact 1784 01:38:28.920 --> 01:38:31.800 that he just gave up the truth about working with 1785 01:38:31.840 --> 01:38:35.600 some of the greatest people, Richard Lester, you know, I mean, 1786 01:38:36.079 --> 01:38:38.960 you know, Basil Derdon, I mean, like the people that 1787 01:38:39.000 --> 01:38:42.199 he was listening off and talking, discussing about his approach 1788 01:38:42.279 --> 01:38:45.800 to things and anecdotes working with certain stars, has a great, 1789 01:38:46.039 --> 01:38:49.000 great bit about Oliver Reid, and this is all leading 1790 01:38:49.039 --> 01:38:56.560 up to his work on Czardas and Excalibur. So it 1791 01:38:56.680 --> 01:39:00.960 was a four and a half hour conversation and I 1792 01:39:01.199 --> 01:39:04.199 was glued. I just couldn't even I had to cut 1793 01:39:04.199 --> 01:39:05.720 it down. It was painful. I had to cut it 1794 01:39:05.760 --> 01:39:08.680 down to you know, I didn't want to short change anyone, 1795 01:39:08.720 --> 01:39:10.880 but I wanted people to know him the way he 1796 01:39:11.079 --> 01:39:15.159 let me know him, which is just wonderful. And he's 1797 01:39:15.159 --> 01:39:17.119 got a great sense of humor and an amazing rack 1798 01:39:17.199 --> 01:39:22.119 on tour and a life that it's you know, it 1799 01:39:22.760 --> 01:39:26.960 was working in film, not on digital video, and he created, 1800 01:39:27.000 --> 01:39:29.479 you know, helped create, innovate a lot of things that 1801 01:39:29.840 --> 01:39:33.640 people are still struggling to replicate on digital video. You know, 1802 01:39:34.720 --> 01:39:36.560 and he's he's a but I cut it down to 1803 01:39:36.600 --> 01:39:41.680 like seventy five minutes and it's still I wanted to 1804 01:39:41.720 --> 01:39:44.119 go farther with it because the stories that I had 1805 01:39:44.159 --> 01:39:46.840 to cut out were just like almost criminal that I 1806 01:39:46.880 --> 01:39:48.720 had to cut it out. But he's but I want 1807 01:39:48.760 --> 01:39:52.199 people to know he's this guy. I mean, he's a 1808 01:39:52.279 --> 01:39:56.279 lovely guy. But it's it's they don't have the same 1809 01:39:56.479 --> 01:39:58.159 they didn't grow up A lot of these people didn't 1810 01:39:58.159 --> 01:40:00.279 grow up with him the way I grew up with him, 1811 01:40:00.319 --> 01:40:03.319 just seeing the name over and over again from you know, 1812 01:40:03.359 --> 01:40:05.279 when I was a little kid, straight through all these 1813 01:40:05.319 --> 01:40:08.840 movies that were like my favorite films that were just 1814 01:40:08.880 --> 01:40:14.319 on TV. You know, I grew up with him so that, 1815 01:40:14.600 --> 01:40:16.600 you know, and I like the fact that we had 1816 01:40:16.600 --> 01:40:19.079 to do it over zoom because he was really you know, 1817 01:40:19.560 --> 01:40:27.640 he knew how to use the laptop lens to act 1818 01:40:27.760 --> 01:40:30.520 to his performance as it well, it was just great 1819 01:40:30.560 --> 01:40:32.439 and he was just great. It's the most fun of 1820 01:40:32.920 --> 01:40:34.439 had doing an interview in a long time. 1821 01:40:35.399 --> 01:40:39.199 Well, let's let's dive deep on Excalibur. We got two 1822 01:40:39.279 --> 01:40:42.239 real quick comments before we go into that. One. Terry 1823 01:40:42.279 --> 01:40:44.560 talks movie says, I want to see interviews where the 1824 01:40:44.560 --> 01:40:46.640 stars sitting in a pub getting pissed with the interviewer. 1825 01:40:47.159 --> 01:40:49.439 He just totally reminds me this last year. We had 1826 01:40:49.720 --> 01:40:53.920 Joe Bob Briggs for Sledgehammer, and he was exhausted, literally 1827 01:40:53.960 --> 01:40:57.079 in a bar and to we go to shoot and 1828 01:40:57.119 --> 01:41:01.159 then suddenly he's just on. The dude is like it 1829 01:41:01.239 --> 01:41:03.640 was filmed during the weekend of a convention and so 1830 01:41:03.720 --> 01:41:07.439 he was just beat already, but he was just immediately 1831 01:41:07.439 --> 01:41:09.199 on as soon as we started filming. And then the 1832 01:41:09.199 --> 01:41:12.359 other one, Robert Hubbard says, hello, Howard, big fan of 1833 01:41:12.359 --> 01:41:14.199 the Terminal Man features on the Arrow disc and your 1834 01:41:14.239 --> 01:41:18.319 commentary with Howard Thompson. I think we mean the Thanel 1835 01:41:18.399 --> 01:41:19.960 Thompson on the Big Bus. 1836 01:41:20.199 --> 01:41:21.880 Steve Mitchell was with me, Steve. 1837 01:41:21.720 --> 01:41:26.520 Mitchell on that one, the Big Bus, not another one that. 1838 01:41:26.479 --> 01:41:29.119 We hear, So that's nice. 1839 01:41:30.279 --> 01:41:38.880 Yeah, all right, So Excalibur, why you know four and 1840 01:41:38.880 --> 01:41:44.199 a half hours is a long interview? Does Arrow? I 1841 01:41:44.239 --> 01:41:46.560 don't think you've told me this yet. Did they dictate 1842 01:41:46.600 --> 01:41:48.880 how long it could be or did you just say 1843 01:41:49.039 --> 01:41:50.520 this is what it is. I'm turning it in and 1844 01:41:50.560 --> 01:41:52.039 it's seventy five minutes, So good luck. 1845 01:41:52.319 --> 01:41:57.880 I think usually Arrow has no compunctions, you know, unless 1846 01:41:58.199 --> 01:42:00.279 unless they tell me that I haven't been told. Yeah, 1847 01:42:00.279 --> 01:42:03.720 I mean, I asked. I said, look, you know, i'm 1848 01:42:03.760 --> 01:42:05.319 cutting this down from four and a half. And as 1849 01:42:05.359 --> 01:42:09.479 I got into the you know, watching it and listening 1850 01:42:09.520 --> 01:42:14.359 to it, making my notes, I didn't want it to bloat. 1851 01:42:14.960 --> 01:42:15.720 It's not bloat. 1852 01:42:15.840 --> 01:42:18.880 But it was all amazing and really I can't tell 1853 01:42:18.880 --> 01:42:20.880 you how funny some of the stuff was. And it's 1854 01:42:20.880 --> 01:42:25.399 a shame, but it was. I did have to tell them, 1855 01:42:25.399 --> 01:42:27.800 I said, when I finally, when I got the cut, 1856 01:42:27.960 --> 01:42:30.880 I said, I brought it down to seventy five. I 1857 01:42:30.920 --> 01:42:33.640 could go more and go let They said, if you 1858 01:42:33.640 --> 01:42:35.640 could go as long as you need to, as long 1859 01:42:35.680 --> 01:42:38.079 as it's interesting. But then I realized, you know, all right, 1860 01:42:38.119 --> 01:42:41.560 what's going to be. Maybe a criticism is that I 1861 01:42:41.600 --> 01:42:43.960 thought this was going to be only about the production 1862 01:42:44.239 --> 01:42:47.640 of Excalibur, and it wasn't. I mean, I never promised that. 1863 01:42:47.800 --> 01:42:52.079 I want people to know Peter McDonald's my that's my concern, 1864 01:42:52.199 --> 01:42:57.840 and why his work on Zardas and Excalibur aren't the 1865 01:42:57.960 --> 01:43:01.720 same thing. It's not a technician showing up on set. 1866 01:43:02.159 --> 01:43:05.199 I wanted them to follow it like he followed it 1867 01:43:05.319 --> 01:43:10.039 like his career through his eyes. So to me, you know, 1868 01:43:10.239 --> 01:43:14.159 it's it's just like one person telling you and I 1869 01:43:14.319 --> 01:43:16.920 illustrate it. I used clips and I used I use 1870 01:43:17.079 --> 01:43:21.439 b ra all and stuff, but I really they never 1871 01:43:21.560 --> 01:43:23.760 they've never given me a problem. I did another thing 1872 01:43:23.800 --> 01:43:28.760 which for one reason another didn't didn't end up you know, 1873 01:43:29.000 --> 01:43:33.159 uh where where where it wanted to be, but it was. 1874 01:43:35.039 --> 01:43:36.960 It was another turned out to be like a seventy 1875 01:43:36.960 --> 01:43:41.279 five minute visual essay quick like no one can No 1876 01:43:41.279 --> 01:43:45.199 one said anything, but it was. But I am not 1877 01:43:45.279 --> 01:43:46.960 at liberty to say what it was or what it 1878 01:43:47.000 --> 01:43:51.960 was for. But I would have, and I probably am 1879 01:43:52.039 --> 01:43:54.720 going to since it's reverted back to me. I probably 1880 01:43:54.760 --> 01:43:57.720 would add another half hour to it, only because I 1881 01:43:57.800 --> 01:44:00.640 personally was trying. Was never told to keep it down, 1882 01:44:01.000 --> 01:44:04.520 but I there's things about link that I think, you know, 1883 01:44:05.720 --> 01:44:08.159 if it's pertinent, you know, it may not be in 1884 01:44:08.239 --> 01:44:14.079 every you know, viewers capacity to remain interested in an essay, 1885 01:44:14.920 --> 01:44:17.760 but I'm not. You know, I can only do it 1886 01:44:17.920 --> 01:44:19.560 from my point of view if I have something that 1887 01:44:19.600 --> 01:44:22.439 I think needs to be discussed, that hasn't been discussed 1888 01:44:22.520 --> 01:44:25.800 or needs to be heard that hasn't been heard. I'm 1889 01:44:25.800 --> 01:44:28.720 going to try and do my best to keep it pertinent. 1890 01:44:29.199 --> 01:44:32.279 You know, I'm not thinking about running time. I know 1891 01:44:32.359 --> 01:44:34.760 a lot of people have. You know, look, there's there's 1892 01:44:34.760 --> 01:44:37.439 some brilliant three hour movies, but people have like they're 1893 01:44:37.520 --> 01:44:41.039 they're you know, they have problems with with running time, 1894 01:44:41.239 --> 01:44:46.119 even of great movies. You know, So you know, I 1895 01:44:46.319 --> 01:44:49.680 I it's an interesting question. How do you deal with it? 1896 01:44:49.720 --> 01:44:49.920 Do you? 1897 01:44:50.079 --> 01:44:52.880 I mean, do you have you ever had something, you know, 1898 01:44:53.039 --> 01:44:58.760 truly epic that was just like no, I can't do this, or. 1899 01:44:59.119 --> 01:45:01.359 The only thing that I've had that was close to 1900 01:45:01.399 --> 01:45:03.920 that is we were told one time that a disc 1901 01:45:04.079 --> 01:45:08.159 only had just over ten minutes of available space on 1902 01:45:08.199 --> 01:45:11.199 it that we could make. So we went into a 1903 01:45:11.239 --> 01:45:14.039 project knowing that it could only be ten minutes, and 1904 01:45:14.479 --> 01:45:17.119 that was tough considering what we had written and then 1905 01:45:17.319 --> 01:45:19.880 editing down to that point. It was like chock there's 1906 01:45:19.960 --> 01:45:23.039 no rest in that piece. It was. It was chock 1907 01:45:23.079 --> 01:45:25.600 full from second one until end of the credits, and 1908 01:45:25.640 --> 01:45:31.720 so it was. It was rough, that's for sure. 1909 01:45:32.319 --> 01:45:35.000 Yeah, I mean, I think even the thing that we 1910 01:45:35.159 --> 01:45:39.640 did together for The Ugly was that a full half 1911 01:45:39.680 --> 01:45:41.159 hour or was that twenty No, it. 1912 01:45:41.239 --> 01:45:45.000 Was around eighteen to twenty. I think, yeah, let's talk 1913 01:45:45.000 --> 01:45:47.520 about that one. So The Ugly is coming from unearthed films. 1914 01:45:47.520 --> 01:45:49.359 It has not been released yet. I believe that's coming 1915 01:45:50.600 --> 01:45:54.399 next month or February. The Ugly. How'd you feel about that? 1916 01:45:54.439 --> 01:45:56.439 And putting this piece together for somebody editing for you 1917 01:45:56.439 --> 01:45:58.399 for the first time like this, I. 1918 01:45:58.319 --> 01:46:03.199 Trusted you, I I you know, I had. I tried 1919 01:46:03.239 --> 01:46:06.840 to not guide that much, but I hope I gave 1920 01:46:07.479 --> 01:46:09.439 in the way I wrote it. I figured, you know, 1921 01:46:09.800 --> 01:46:12.359 let's see where you take it. I mean, you know, 1922 01:46:12.800 --> 01:46:15.239 we never have enough time. I mean, especially when you 1923 01:46:15.239 --> 01:46:19.319 get to the entertage. It is really sometimes you're usually 1924 01:46:19.399 --> 01:46:22.439 juggling to other projects and you're on a twenty almost 1925 01:46:22.479 --> 01:46:28.760 twenty hour schedule sometimes and sometimes you know, so I 1926 01:46:28.920 --> 01:46:32.239 kept going, like, I hope I'm not complicating this for him, 1927 01:46:32.239 --> 01:46:35.239 but like the all that's so sympathetic to it, you 1928 01:46:35.279 --> 01:46:37.359 know how it's how I feel about, you know, you know, 1929 01:46:37.439 --> 01:46:41.840 doing it myself. But I had a complete trust doing it. 1930 01:46:41.880 --> 01:46:42.399 I just didn't. 1931 01:46:42.439 --> 01:46:47.079 I just was hoping that I wasn't unclear or I 1932 01:46:47.159 --> 01:46:50.000 wasn't making my my thing. There's so much to go 1933 01:46:50.079 --> 01:46:52.319 over with the ugly. I mean, there's so there's so 1934 01:46:52.439 --> 01:46:55.680 many antecedents that they and they, and it plays with 1935 01:46:55.720 --> 01:46:58.119 it like you think, oh, that's such a cliche. But 1936 01:46:58.159 --> 01:47:00.439 then I would watch it for like the third time 1937 01:47:00.520 --> 01:47:04.479 and I go, you know something, he's very as possible, 1938 01:47:04.640 --> 01:47:09.199 very possible that he's doing some subversive twists to a 1939 01:47:09.199 --> 01:47:12.560 lot of these tropes that have been accepted in that genre, 1940 01:47:13.000 --> 01:47:15.039 and I like, I like that. There's another movie that 1941 01:47:15.159 --> 01:47:19.000 Nathaniel Thompson, who I'm glad ended up doing commentary for 1942 01:47:19.039 --> 01:47:22.680 the disc. He was the one who he wasn't attached 1943 01:47:22.720 --> 01:47:25.039 to it yet when we were working on it originally, 1944 01:47:25.079 --> 01:47:27.119 and I was so happy because he's the guy who 1945 01:47:27.119 --> 01:47:29.840 introduced the movie to me. He's he was saying, oh no, 1946 01:47:29.840 --> 01:47:31.640 it's a great movie. It's a great movie, and I go, okay, 1947 01:47:31.760 --> 01:47:34.079 I'm psyched. I'm watched it and it was it was 1948 01:47:34.600 --> 01:47:38.239 an unusual film for me, but I really liked the 1949 01:47:38.279 --> 01:47:43.479 fact that it there was I thought some very interesting 1950 01:47:43.640 --> 01:47:49.119 suberversive thematic twists to this movie. And I thought, from 1951 01:47:49.359 --> 01:47:51.439 you know, I thought you did a great job with it. 1952 01:47:51.520 --> 01:47:54.359 But I really you know, I enjoyed the movie tremendously 1953 01:47:54.399 --> 01:47:56.439 and not a lot of people have actually heard of it. 1954 01:47:56.479 --> 01:47:58.279 I mean that was a name one of my wrong 1955 01:47:58.319 --> 01:48:00.520 that was like a big VHS thing. I think that's 1956 01:48:00.560 --> 01:48:03.479 people saw it when it was on like VHS and 1957 01:48:03.479 --> 01:48:07.079 and they're in the video stores. 1958 01:48:07.399 --> 01:48:09.359 Yeah, it's like a mom and pop video store title. 1959 01:48:09.359 --> 01:48:12.560 It came out late nineties, not a ton of fanfare 1960 01:48:12.640 --> 01:48:16.199 or anything like that, but it's it's shockingly good for 1961 01:48:16.359 --> 01:48:19.439 when it came out and for not being a huge movie. 1962 01:48:19.439 --> 01:48:24.199 It's well acted, unique, idea fun movie. It shot pretty well. 1963 01:48:24.840 --> 01:48:28.199 I truly liked the ugly quiteit and it's tricky. It's 1964 01:48:28.239 --> 01:48:29.039 a tricky film. 1965 01:48:29.600 --> 01:48:32.760 It's not like you think there, at least the way 1966 01:48:32.800 --> 01:48:34.720 I took it is that I would think there was 1967 01:48:34.760 --> 01:48:38.359 a cliche that's a bad word, but a cliche or 1968 01:48:40.000 --> 01:48:45.840 a very recycled you know, trope to that, and then 1969 01:48:46.760 --> 01:48:49.800 just watching it, I'm like, no, he's doing He's doing 1970 01:48:49.800 --> 01:48:50.680 something else, you. 1971 01:48:50.640 --> 01:48:51.800 Know, something new. 1972 01:48:52.039 --> 01:48:55.000 So we tried, I tried to do try to incorporate that, 1973 01:48:55.119 --> 01:48:57.119 and I guess, wow, twenty minutes I really thought it 1974 01:48:57.159 --> 01:49:00.720 was like longer, that's good to know. Do you have 1975 01:49:00.800 --> 01:49:02.960 to did you have to chop a lot down. I 1976 01:49:02.960 --> 01:49:05.199 don't remember, No, not a lot. 1977 01:49:05.560 --> 01:49:07.199 There's just not a lot of Like there's not a 1978 01:49:07.199 --> 01:49:10.000 lot of fluff from the like for many of these 1979 01:49:10.000 --> 01:49:12.479 when it's thirty minutes, it might only be like twenty 1980 01:49:12.520 --> 01:49:15.840 one minutes of essay and about nine minutes of film footage. 1981 01:49:15.960 --> 01:49:17.760 There's not a lot of just film footage because the 1982 01:49:17.800 --> 01:49:21.000 way that we did the essay, it's not a lot 1983 01:49:21.199 --> 01:49:24.000 of that. It's a lot of just focus on what 1984 01:49:24.199 --> 01:49:26.520 inspired this, what came from it, and what the film 1985 01:49:26.520 --> 01:49:29.760 itself means because there's okay players in the movie. Yeah, 1986 01:49:29.840 --> 01:49:30.279 good to know. 1987 01:49:31.560 --> 01:49:33.319 Again, I can't wait till people see it. But I 1988 01:49:33.359 --> 01:49:36.760 hope people response. We can, you know, get some feedback too. 1989 01:49:36.840 --> 01:49:39.199 I mean it's it's always good to hear feedback. Might 1990 01:49:39.239 --> 01:49:41.560 not change what we do at all, but at least 1991 01:49:41.600 --> 01:49:43.800 we get an idea of what it's coming on across. 1992 01:49:43.880 --> 01:49:47.560 Like, well, but you got a question, Ragnar wants to 1993 01:49:47.560 --> 01:49:49.479 know what made what made you want to be on 1994 01:49:49.520 --> 01:49:51.800 physical media to begin with? Is there something that made 1995 01:49:51.840 --> 01:49:53.640 you want to speak on these on these films to 1996 01:49:53.640 --> 01:49:54.000 be on the. 1997 01:49:53.960 --> 01:49:58.640 Disc I've will you know, I've always I've always just 1998 01:49:58.760 --> 01:50:03.239 loved this whole environment of physical media. But again it 1999 01:50:03.279 --> 01:50:10.640 was it was Nathaniel Thompson who invited me. You know, 2000 01:50:10.720 --> 01:50:12.760 I'd go over to his place and watched tons of 2001 01:50:12.800 --> 01:50:15.760 stuff and you know, but then he he was he 2002 01:50:15.880 --> 01:50:19.520 was doing stuff with image every way earlier, you know, 2003 01:50:20.039 --> 01:50:23.600 but he invited me to to do I think the 2004 01:50:23.640 --> 01:50:25.640 first one he ever did was trouble. 2005 01:50:25.319 --> 01:50:28.399 Man on Keno. 2006 01:50:29.319 --> 01:50:33.119 Uh and uh then it starts snowballing. We were getting 2007 01:50:33.119 --> 01:50:36.800 titles that was greatly Phil Carlson's framed and things like that, 2008 01:50:36.880 --> 01:50:38.399 and I was like, wow, So it was really I 2009 01:50:39.079 --> 01:50:42.680 went to Nathaniel also Callum Waddel when he was with 2010 01:50:42.920 --> 01:50:47.239 Arrow a long time ago. Uh he yeah, very long 2011 01:50:47.279 --> 01:50:50.279 time ago. But he also started asking me to be 2012 01:50:50.319 --> 01:50:54.000 a talking head and I'm like, really, here's but so, 2013 01:50:54.319 --> 01:50:58.119 you know, so I had you know, a lot of 2014 01:50:58.119 --> 01:51:02.439 really cool you know movies through that, but I I 2015 01:51:03.239 --> 01:51:05.199 just love That's the first thing I go to is 2016 01:51:05.199 --> 01:51:08.840 the extras on the you know, the the DVTs, the 2017 01:51:08.880 --> 01:51:14.399 Blu rays. I've always just been I've always been interested 2018 01:51:14.479 --> 01:51:17.920 in the personality of the artist of who who did it, 2019 01:51:18.079 --> 01:51:20.560 And like I said, some some of them really capture it, 2020 01:51:21.000 --> 01:51:24.199 uh you know, and some of them I like I 2021 01:51:24.319 --> 01:51:27.000 like a lot of I like the fat I like 2022 01:51:27.039 --> 01:51:29.560 the creative. I like to know who i'm who's who 2023 01:51:29.680 --> 01:51:32.399 worked on this, not just that they showed up and 2024 01:51:32.439 --> 01:51:34.439 this is the story on the set. It really kind 2025 01:51:34.479 --> 01:51:37.000 of doesn't. Really, I've worked on movies. It doesn't really, 2026 01:51:37.359 --> 01:51:40.800 it's not that interesting to me. What's interesting is is 2027 01:51:41.119 --> 01:51:46.760 not the backstage you know, Yeah, but they created something, 2028 01:51:46.960 --> 01:51:49.840 you know, it's they had to have a hive mind. 2029 01:51:50.279 --> 01:51:54.359 They had to have a collective amoebic you know, mind 2030 01:51:55.039 --> 01:51:58.520 for a while. And that fascinates me so much. Uh. 2031 01:51:58.680 --> 01:52:00.680 And what I'm happy about is like it looks like 2032 01:52:00.720 --> 01:52:03.560 in the last two or three years in particular, forget 2033 01:52:03.600 --> 01:52:06.239 about the last ten, but in the last two or 2034 01:52:06.239 --> 01:52:09.520 three with all these boutique labels finding a voice and 2035 01:52:09.920 --> 01:52:13.279 trying at least giving it themselves a chance to try something, 2036 01:52:13.560 --> 01:52:17.720 to show something that hasn't been explored yet. Uh, it's cool. 2037 01:52:18.000 --> 01:52:21.520 There's a lot of things to a lot of approaches 2038 01:52:21.560 --> 01:52:24.800 to film and history. I mean, you look at Death Crocodile. 2039 01:52:25.239 --> 01:52:27.079 I'm learning a hell of a lot of history that 2040 01:52:27.319 --> 01:52:29.720 I never I never would have, you know. 2041 01:52:29.800 --> 01:52:34.079 It's speaking of speaking of finding their voice. I've always 2042 01:52:34.079 --> 01:52:35.720 wanted to ask you this because you have a very 2043 01:52:35.760 --> 01:52:39.039 specific style when you especially visual essays, when you're not 2044 01:52:39.079 --> 01:52:42.680 just interviewing but doing a full out essay. You know 2045 01:52:42.880 --> 01:52:45.199 what you're setting out to say. You know that you're 2046 01:52:45.359 --> 01:52:47.600 you've got a central thesis that you're always coming back to. 2047 01:52:48.039 --> 01:52:51.680 Do you approach these differently for different companies? Is there 2048 01:52:51.720 --> 01:52:54.880 a different feeling when you're doing one for Arrow as 2049 01:52:54.920 --> 01:52:59.520 opposed to filmmasters? Because Arrow is a very mainstream audience 2050 01:52:59.520 --> 01:53:01.600 type of company, but even filmmasters might be a little 2051 01:53:01.600 --> 01:53:04.159 more I don't want to say, like Pinky in the 2052 01:53:04.199 --> 01:53:08.319 Air condescending, but more like these people might pay a 2053 01:53:08.359 --> 01:53:11.479 little more attention to the craft of like B movies 2054 01:53:11.600 --> 01:53:12.399 type of feeling. 2055 01:53:14.239 --> 01:53:17.239 It's more filmed by film, not company by company. It's 2056 01:53:17.239 --> 01:53:20.680 funny you say that, but no, and I don't even know, 2057 01:53:20.800 --> 01:53:23.840 Like it just becomes because when I'm working with Kevin, 2058 01:53:24.000 --> 01:53:28.000 when Kevin's my co writer or writer, I mean, he's 2059 01:53:28.039 --> 01:53:30.760 he's he you know, I throw out whatever I can 2060 01:53:31.520 --> 01:53:35.640 sometimes with him, but he's you know, he's he's the master, 2061 01:53:36.479 --> 01:53:40.079 and yeah, I have to I have to sort of 2062 01:53:40.119 --> 01:53:45.520 find the voice that he has, and it's sometimes inadvertently 2063 01:53:46.840 --> 01:53:50.319 I'm not going to say facetious or sarcastic, but that's 2064 01:53:50.359 --> 01:53:52.479 not that's not there's no contempt in it at all. 2065 01:53:52.520 --> 01:53:54.720 It's just I have to find I just have to 2066 01:53:54.720 --> 01:53:58.560 find the right, you know, voice for it. I guess 2067 01:53:58.960 --> 01:54:01.239 I don't think about it. I hate hearing my own voice. 2068 01:54:01.319 --> 01:54:06.680 It drives me crazy. And sometimes I'll change it. I'll 2069 01:54:06.720 --> 01:54:08.720 pitch shift it so I sound a little bit. 2070 01:54:09.279 --> 01:54:09.680 I don't know. 2071 01:54:09.840 --> 01:54:11.960 It's like what Keanu Reeves tries to do with his voice, 2072 01:54:12.000 --> 01:54:15.119 and he's making basillary just talking like this. You know, 2073 01:54:15.640 --> 01:54:17.239 I try to do the same thing. I'll like pitch 2074 01:54:17.239 --> 01:54:19.520 shift it so I'm a little bit slower. I caught 2075 01:54:19.600 --> 01:54:21.319 fast or so. 2076 01:54:21.520 --> 01:54:21.960 I don't know. 2077 01:54:22.039 --> 01:54:24.399 I just but it's that's why I like to edit 2078 01:54:24.439 --> 01:54:30.039 my own things, clean it up, my own interesting. And 2079 01:54:30.079 --> 01:54:33.079 I didn't think that Arrow was terribly mainstream, but I guess, yeah, 2080 01:54:33.119 --> 01:54:35.600 they balanced it. I mean, you know, they went corporate 2081 01:54:35.640 --> 01:54:37.319 so that they're balancing. I think they're doing a really 2082 01:54:37.359 --> 01:54:40.359 good job, even with the films that I don't know. 2083 01:54:40.800 --> 01:54:43.600 So I don't know what people expect from companies. 2084 01:54:43.640 --> 01:54:49.319 And that's the thing. Their choices aren't necessarily mainstream. Down 2085 01:54:49.399 --> 01:54:52.560 the Aisle films because like right now to Save the 2086 01:54:52.560 --> 01:54:55.600 Green Planet, you could argue as not mainstream, but they're 2087 01:54:55.640 --> 01:54:58.760 even doing things like the Samurai trilogies from the sixties. 2088 01:54:58.800 --> 01:55:01.239 Nobody else is putting out stuff like except for maybe Radiance. 2089 01:55:01.680 --> 01:55:06.479 But the big thing is Arrow purchasers are the mainstream. 2090 01:55:06.600 --> 01:55:10.119 Like other than Criterion, Vinegar, Sindermon, Arrow are the ones 2091 01:55:10.119 --> 01:55:14.600 that many people could name, and people like filmmasters. Most 2092 01:55:14.640 --> 01:55:17.479 people in their right mind, even in this hobby, would 2093 01:55:17.520 --> 01:55:19.640 not name filmasters if you ask them to list twenty 2094 01:55:19.640 --> 01:55:22.880 five boutiques. That's just not a title that would come up. Right. 2095 01:55:23.960 --> 01:55:27.680 Eventually, maybe we'll see. I mean, you know again, I 2096 01:55:28.279 --> 01:55:30.720 enjoyed what I did with them. They were very they 2097 01:55:30.720 --> 01:55:33.760 were very open to whatever we were doing. We did 2098 01:55:33.800 --> 01:55:38.239 the Tormented, the Burt Gordon Tormented. Yeah, we did the Terror, 2099 01:55:38.479 --> 01:55:41.279 which was a long piece too. Oh that's right, Yeah, 2100 01:55:41.399 --> 01:55:46.640 that was the Terror. Imprint has a totally different vibe 2101 01:55:46.680 --> 01:55:52.159 to it. They I think they like as much the 2102 01:55:52.159 --> 01:55:57.359 thematic as they do technical, especially in the visual essays. 2103 01:55:57.600 --> 01:56:02.479 They're very, very embracing me and people like Daniel Kramer, 2104 01:56:02.640 --> 01:56:05.239 who we really want to get if we see an 2105 01:56:05.279 --> 01:56:08.359 idea that it has been under discussed. You know, we'll 2106 01:56:08.359 --> 01:56:09.760 go for it. We'll try and do it, you know, 2107 01:56:10.560 --> 01:56:12.680 to the best we can, as articulate as we can, 2108 01:56:12.880 --> 01:56:15.800 you know, do it. But it's interesting. I never thought 2109 01:56:15.800 --> 01:56:18.960 about that label by label, Like what, what is sort 2110 01:56:19.000 --> 01:56:20.399 of a tone for the label? 2111 01:56:20.760 --> 01:56:22.840 Yeah, no, it's usually just filmed by film. 2112 01:56:23.520 --> 01:56:26.760 Like I said, we could do something like last Long 2113 01:56:26.840 --> 01:56:29.800 Kiss good Night, and it would be a little bit 2114 01:56:30.359 --> 01:56:32.680 you know, in the in the flavor of the film, 2115 01:56:32.720 --> 01:56:35.680 a little you know. I had done one for Tough 2116 01:56:35.720 --> 01:56:38.239 Guys Don't Dance, and it didn't It was rejected by 2117 01:56:38.359 --> 01:56:41.560 MGM because of the tone and like what the tone 2118 01:56:41.600 --> 01:56:45.560 of what Norman Mailer's tone. And we were only doing 2119 01:56:45.560 --> 01:56:47.720 it up to Norman Mailer, you know, we were trying 2120 01:56:47.760 --> 01:56:50.319 to figure and we I think there's a lot of 2121 01:56:50.359 --> 01:56:53.239 revelations there that still have not been discussed about him, 2122 01:56:53.359 --> 01:56:57.000 either as a director or an author. But that's something 2123 01:56:57.039 --> 01:56:59.199 that you know, again, I own it now. I'll probably 2124 01:56:59.199 --> 01:57:01.880 put it up somewhere some point if it doesn't get 2125 01:57:01.920 --> 01:57:03.840 taken in for another you know, if someone else doesn't 2126 01:57:03.880 --> 01:57:05.960 end up handling it, and then can I don't know 2127 01:57:06.000 --> 01:57:08.720 what MGM is like now that could be different now, 2128 01:57:08.760 --> 01:57:13.239 So for all I know, yeah, that's sad, it's too bad. 2129 01:57:13.640 --> 01:57:18.960 But like with Excalibur and Outland, again, I'm dealing with 2130 01:57:19.720 --> 01:57:26.399 Neil Snowden, who is really he you know, he just 2131 01:57:27.000 --> 01:57:32.199 he he entices you, you know, he allows you to 2132 01:57:33.560 --> 01:57:38.359 explore something that isn't just by rote at this point, 2133 01:57:38.560 --> 01:57:43.119 you know, so Borman I had to realize John Borman. 2134 01:57:44.279 --> 01:57:47.760 You know, people a lot of people don't know who 2135 01:57:47.760 --> 01:57:50.079 he is. Like a lot of people through shocking to 2136 01:57:50.079 --> 01:57:53.279 me because for a while maybe up you know now 2137 01:57:53.279 --> 01:57:56.159 I can't believe it's over twenty years ago now, But 2138 01:57:56.279 --> 01:57:58.920 like even in the nineties, which I think is still yesterday, 2139 01:57:59.520 --> 01:58:03.319 John and was still a viable you know, he had 2140 01:58:03.319 --> 01:58:07.319 a history like Deliverance and and and Zardas wasn't so 2141 01:58:07.560 --> 01:58:12.199 ridiculed as it is now. I mean, Zarda's people think 2142 01:58:12.319 --> 01:58:14.840 is a bad movie, and they talk about even I mean, 2143 01:58:14.920 --> 01:58:23.439 I understand gripes with Exorsist two, but I still I 2144 01:58:23.520 --> 01:58:26.640 used to say, it's like a it's a terrible Exorcist sequel, 2145 01:58:26.680 --> 01:58:28.600 but it's a great John Borman movie, you know. Like 2146 01:58:29.119 --> 01:58:31.800 so that's why I think it's great that they're so 2147 01:58:31.960 --> 01:58:36.640 indulgent and and they want people to have, you know, 2148 01:58:36.760 --> 01:58:39.000 a voice like David Kittridge. I can't wait to see 2149 01:58:39.000 --> 01:58:45.159 his documentary on Exorcist too, because there's a perspective and 2150 01:58:45.239 --> 01:58:48.920 he and within his own perspective, he's he's getting other 2151 01:58:49.000 --> 01:58:54.880 people to help sort of navigate through the strange waterway 2152 01:58:54.960 --> 01:58:59.079 of critical thinking towards that particular film and that director. 2153 01:58:59.720 --> 01:59:04.319 So I love what Neil was doing with Excalber because 2154 01:59:04.359 --> 01:59:06.920 he loves the movie. I mean, he's really passionate, but 2155 01:59:07.000 --> 01:59:09.880 he has an incredibly open mind and he's very eclectic 2156 01:59:10.119 --> 01:59:13.359 on his own and to see that that enthusiasm come 2157 01:59:13.399 --> 01:59:16.800 across to the you know, in his curatorship to edit 2158 01:59:16.840 --> 01:59:20.239 the visual essay, you know, I was doing it for him, 2159 01:59:20.640 --> 01:59:23.279 you know, I was trying to. I was looking forward 2160 01:59:23.319 --> 01:59:27.439 to at least stating you know, Kevin in my case 2161 01:59:28.479 --> 01:59:30.920 and see how he responds. 2162 01:59:31.000 --> 01:59:31.199 You know. 2163 01:59:31.279 --> 01:59:31.760 So he was. 2164 01:59:31.840 --> 01:59:35.960 He's He's an exemplary you know producer in that respect. 2165 01:59:36.039 --> 01:59:39.039 That's really important is to you know that your producer, 2166 01:59:39.239 --> 01:59:41.359 if he can be or if she can be, is 2167 01:59:41.479 --> 01:59:44.600 a little bit involved in the discussion and before you 2168 01:59:44.680 --> 01:59:48.239 before you sit down and cut. Hasn't always worked out 2169 01:59:48.279 --> 01:59:51.039 that way. I mean not that the producer has been 2170 01:59:51.079 --> 01:59:54.279 bad or anything like that, but sometimes that they themselves 2171 01:59:54.279 --> 01:59:57.520 are overworked and they have a huge so they can 2172 01:59:57.560 --> 02:00:00.000 only spend so much time in discussion or planning whatever, 2173 02:00:00.079 --> 02:00:04.640 or things can things can go south. But you know 2174 02:00:04.760 --> 02:00:08.680 so so things like the Australian discs are usually great 2175 02:00:08.720 --> 02:00:12.600 because you can get away with a lot and you 2176 02:00:12.640 --> 02:00:18.800 know their laws of be you know of using clips. 2177 02:00:19.880 --> 02:00:22.920 You know, they have a fair use law that they 2178 02:00:22.920 --> 02:00:23.760 can apply. 2179 02:00:24.680 --> 02:00:25.039 Uh. 2180 02:00:25.199 --> 02:00:29.560 England is the opposite. It's really rough to try and stretch. 2181 02:00:29.600 --> 02:00:31.640 You have to get like the if it's if it's 2182 02:00:31.800 --> 02:00:36.199 a Warner Brothers disc and then it's up to Warner Brothers. 2183 02:00:36.199 --> 02:00:38.479 I can use Warner titles, you know, things like that, 2184 02:00:38.640 --> 02:00:42.199 or Universal same thing. You can use Universal titles generally. 2185 02:00:43.439 --> 02:00:47.279 But I like I like that, you know, the ones 2186 02:00:47.319 --> 02:00:51.359 that really stayed with me, the Terminal Man, even the 2187 02:00:51.399 --> 02:00:56.720 shootest those from last year, the year before. But Neil 2188 02:00:56.800 --> 02:01:00.600 was just such a great launch pad for ideas and 2189 02:01:00.680 --> 02:01:03.640 things that you know, I like, I just feel like 2190 02:01:03.680 --> 02:01:06.159 I'm I I know who I'm who I'm trying to 2191 02:01:06.199 --> 02:01:09.439 shape it for. I'll get I'll get feedback, you know. So, 2192 02:01:10.119 --> 02:01:13.840 But I loved I loved I loved the Palenberg piece, 2193 02:01:14.319 --> 02:01:17.359 you know, on excaliburt. I mean, we're dealing with a 2194 02:01:17.359 --> 02:01:20.760 lot of people, and Borman is in his in his nineties, 2195 02:01:20.880 --> 02:01:23.319 and you know, the health is just not the same. 2196 02:01:23.439 --> 02:01:27.640 I mean, it happened, it happens quist and uh so, 2197 02:01:27.680 --> 02:01:31.159 I know, Jonathan Zorn did a really great job, you know, 2198 02:01:31.439 --> 02:01:32.479 getting the most out of him. 2199 02:01:32.479 --> 02:01:34.399 And then his son. 2200 02:01:34.319 --> 02:01:37.760 Charlie, who, of course, if you're in the Borman family, 2201 02:01:37.840 --> 02:01:40.760 you've you've probably had to do either appear before the 2202 02:01:40.800 --> 02:01:44.239 camera for his their father or they you know, I 2203 02:01:44.319 --> 02:01:47.560 know Telsha his his late daughter. She was like his 2204 02:01:47.640 --> 02:01:50.520 assistant director, you know. So it's really cool to find 2205 02:01:50.600 --> 02:01:54.359 out about the family unit. And and and the idea 2206 02:01:54.520 --> 02:01:59.279 of what I did was when I interviewed Raspo Pallenberg, 2207 02:01:59.680 --> 02:02:03.640 who is I think now he's either just turned ninety 2208 02:02:03.720 --> 02:02:06.720 or he's turning ninety, younger than Borman, believe it or not, 2209 02:02:06.840 --> 02:02:10.520 I mean, but still that age. They're from a different era, 2210 02:02:10.640 --> 02:02:15.039 a whole different era, and their memories obviously they're not 2211 02:02:15.279 --> 02:02:22.359 perfect anymore, but their personality is. So I rode with that. 2212 02:02:22.479 --> 02:02:25.399 But I've been in awe of his work and he 2213 02:02:25.439 --> 02:02:30.279 did a great little stereocomic satiric horror film called The 2214 02:02:30.680 --> 02:02:35.439 Cutting Class with Brad Pitt, I think was the name 2215 02:02:35.520 --> 02:02:39.199 in his first film. It's his first Jill Sholin interesting 2216 02:02:39.279 --> 02:02:41.359 to me, very interesting. I've always laughed when I watched 2217 02:02:41.359 --> 02:02:45.439 that movie, and so I was a I knew, I 2218 02:02:45.479 --> 02:02:47.720 knew what he was. I knew him, I knew I 2219 02:02:47.800 --> 02:02:51.119 knew his work. I watched everything he's been responsible for, 2220 02:02:51.720 --> 02:02:57.159 including an interesting Russian epic. Yeah, I mean he's he's 2221 02:02:57.159 --> 02:03:00.239 just an interesting, interesting writer, but an interesting thinker. And 2222 02:03:00.399 --> 02:03:10.600 Borman in his autobiographies would almost undercut not not his importance, 2223 02:03:10.680 --> 02:03:13.199 but he just says right off the bat that, you know. 2224 02:03:14.760 --> 02:03:17.880 It's almost like he's like an appendage of Borman's, you know, 2225 02:03:18.159 --> 02:03:20.359 like he was just an interesting guy. Never said a 2226 02:03:20.399 --> 02:03:23.920 bad word about him, always thought he was fascinating, befriended 2227 02:03:23.960 --> 02:03:28.359 him because he was such an unusual, unique thinker. So 2228 02:03:28.520 --> 02:03:30.640 I couldn't wait to talk to him. But you know, 2229 02:03:30.760 --> 02:03:35.960 he's you know, not his memory is human, you know. 2230 02:03:36.720 --> 02:03:39.399 So I got a great interview out of him, but 2231 02:03:40.399 --> 02:03:43.239 I thought it needed context, so I kind of combined 2232 02:03:44.399 --> 02:03:49.199 the visual essay with the interview. So it really is 2233 02:03:49.239 --> 02:03:55.560 about what I was determining once Pallenberg's son very generously 2234 02:03:55.920 --> 02:03:58.720 started giving me emails from between the two of them 2235 02:03:59.000 --> 02:04:01.880 for years and and going back twenty some odd years, 2236 02:04:02.000 --> 02:04:07.960 and letters even further, and footage that Pallenberg had shot 2237 02:04:08.560 --> 02:04:11.800 on Deliverance back, you know that has never been seen 2238 02:04:11.840 --> 02:04:15.479 outside of the family. So I made this thing basically 2239 02:04:15.880 --> 02:04:23.600 about my impression of their their relationship together as friends, 2240 02:04:23.760 --> 02:04:30.880 as it's it's almost like a sexless, passionate marriage that 2241 02:04:30.960 --> 02:04:34.960 they had. That the that their bonding came out through 2242 02:04:35.000 --> 02:04:39.680 the films and the ideas that they each endorsed by 2243 02:04:39.720 --> 02:04:43.159 each other, I mean, and then you know, which is 2244 02:04:43.199 --> 02:04:48.239 so eccentric and so personal, I mean with I saw 2245 02:04:48.279 --> 02:04:49.880 it as a love story. I saw it as some 2246 02:04:49.960 --> 02:04:52.680 kind of a love story, and and a believable one, 2247 02:04:52.920 --> 02:04:56.439 one with ups and downs. And honestly, so that was 2248 02:04:57.039 --> 02:05:00.000 that was great And Neil really you know, Snowden was 2249 02:05:00.119 --> 02:05:04.319 really great with encouraging me to try and get another 2250 02:05:04.520 --> 02:05:06.479 point of view, you know. 2251 02:05:07.119 --> 02:05:07.239 Uh. 2252 02:05:07.560 --> 02:05:10.880 And it wasn't just an ordinary interview. It looked like 2253 02:05:10.960 --> 02:05:13.000 when at first, but then suddenly I was able in 2254 02:05:13.039 --> 02:05:16.680 the editing, you'll see I start to toy with things 2255 02:05:16.880 --> 02:05:20.520 you know, with with with the actual picture, so I 2256 02:05:21.039 --> 02:05:23.920 have fun as well. You know, it wasn't just like 2257 02:05:24.479 --> 02:05:27.720 cutting an interview, you know, it's all about what I 2258 02:05:27.760 --> 02:05:31.319 did on the set of You know, it didn't interest me. 2259 02:05:31.479 --> 02:05:33.680 I want, you know, I want, and I knew there 2260 02:05:33.760 --> 02:05:36.359 was so much else, so many other people being interviewed, 2261 02:05:36.399 --> 02:05:39.479 and I just think it's great that at some point 2262 02:05:39.600 --> 02:05:41.840 what I think this is. This is again, I know 2263 02:05:41.920 --> 02:05:45.399 I sound like a nut, but it's worth it. Neil 2264 02:05:46.159 --> 02:05:49.720 put everything into contact, so he knew that when you 2265 02:05:49.880 --> 02:05:53.079 watch all the extras, you're not just watching about the production. 2266 02:05:54.079 --> 02:05:58.920 You were really sort of centrifuical. You're you're becoming John 2267 02:05:59.000 --> 02:06:02.880 Borman at some point point, You're you're you're you're understanding 2268 02:06:03.079 --> 02:06:06.840 not just this one movie's production, but what it meant 2269 02:06:06.880 --> 02:06:11.760 to him and and what eventually you're gonna It'll just 2270 02:06:11.800 --> 02:06:16.199 come across. All these different perspectives in the extras sort 2271 02:06:16.239 --> 02:06:20.439 of are harmonious to each other. And I love that 2272 02:06:20.560 --> 02:06:23.520 type of attitude, that care of what. And he was 2273 02:06:23.560 --> 02:06:25.600 able to say to me, you know, this is what 2274 02:06:25.640 --> 02:06:28.520 I'm hoping for from these other things, and then it 2275 02:06:28.600 --> 02:06:30.439 was It was great. And he did that also with 2276 02:06:30.840 --> 02:06:34.680 inglorious bastards. And he also did that with the Cell. 2277 02:06:35.000 --> 02:06:37.920 He helped me get a great focus. But I did 2278 02:06:37.920 --> 02:06:43.439 a very long, very technically detailed interview on the Cell 2279 02:06:43.720 --> 02:06:47.880 with pol Paul Laufer, who was the cinematographer, and he 2280 02:06:47.960 --> 02:06:55.319 was absolutely brilliant and fun guy, and and and and 2281 02:06:55.600 --> 02:06:58.600 that was also long, and in two parts, I guess 2282 02:06:58.680 --> 02:07:02.680 because he split it in where it needed to be 2283 02:07:02.760 --> 02:07:06.399 split for another another use on the second disc. But 2284 02:07:08.399 --> 02:07:10.199 they gave me, they gave me a point of view 2285 02:07:10.239 --> 02:07:12.239 so that when I went into the interview for doing 2286 02:07:12.279 --> 02:07:15.039 an interview, I knew what I wanted to know about 2287 02:07:15.039 --> 02:07:18.239 the guy now that you know, and to find out 2288 02:07:18.640 --> 02:07:21.319 I didn't even know this really. I just assumed he did, 2289 02:07:21.520 --> 02:07:25.319 you know, he had an extensive commercial background, but Laufur 2290 02:07:25.359 --> 02:07:29.800 actually did that. He actually said, this is my first, 2291 02:07:30.199 --> 02:07:34.159 you know, first motion, my first you know, this narrative feature, 2292 02:07:34.840 --> 02:07:37.199 and I think this might be my last because I 2293 02:07:37.399 --> 02:07:42.479 because of Tarsum and the Warner Brothers, they let him 2294 02:07:42.520 --> 02:07:45.560 do everything he needed he wanted to do. He said anything, 2295 02:07:45.560 --> 02:07:48.439 he wanted to learn, anything he wanted to try, they 2296 02:07:48.520 --> 02:07:51.479 let him do it. So afterwards he's like, there was 2297 02:07:51.479 --> 02:07:53.600 really nothing else I wanted to do in this realm. 2298 02:07:54.159 --> 02:07:56.720 It's like to me, that's like, so not only did 2299 02:07:56.720 --> 02:07:59.079 I get to know something interesting about the movie, but 2300 02:08:00.239 --> 02:08:04.600 about this this amazing personality and this amazing talent and 2301 02:08:05.359 --> 02:08:09.359 how he's approaching this particular project. I like that, Like that, 2302 02:08:09.479 --> 02:08:11.439 that's cool. Arrow was giving me a lot of leeway 2303 02:08:11.439 --> 02:08:14.600 in that, you know, and so that that's that's really cool. 2304 02:08:14.880 --> 02:08:19.279 The Borman stuff, the Terminal Man. It's just I love 2305 02:08:19.359 --> 02:08:23.079 these two guys a lot, and I admired them both, 2306 02:08:23.520 --> 02:08:25.479 you know, all my life. In the minute I was 2307 02:08:25.479 --> 02:08:27.800 introduced to both of their films, you know well. 2308 02:08:27.840 --> 02:08:30.119 And Terminal Man was a big movie for you, right 2309 02:08:30.159 --> 02:08:31.800 if I remember right, I think that was one that 2310 02:08:31.840 --> 02:08:33.119 you had always cherished. 2311 02:08:33.399 --> 02:08:34.920 I mean I saw it when I was in fourth 2312 02:08:34.960 --> 02:08:37.800 grade alone. I was dropped off the movie theater because 2313 02:08:37.800 --> 02:08:46.000 it was playing with I think High Averbacks, the Peter 2314 02:08:46.079 --> 02:08:51.159 Sellers movie I Love You Alice b. Toklas. I was ten, 2315 02:08:52.079 --> 02:08:55.039 I think or nine or ten, and I just was dropped. 2316 02:08:55.039 --> 02:08:59.520 It was Alice B. Toklas and Juggernaut was the triple 2317 02:08:59.520 --> 02:09:02.439 feature that was playing this little mini Cinny. It was 2318 02:09:02.600 --> 02:09:04.840 called Tiny, Little about seventy c theater. 2319 02:09:05.359 --> 02:09:06.279 So when I saw. 2320 02:09:06.079 --> 02:09:09.520 That that was the that was the It wasn't the 2321 02:09:09.560 --> 02:09:11.680 first my conscious, but it was the first cond I 2322 02:09:11.720 --> 02:09:13.960 knew the name. So that I knew the name, I 2323 02:09:14.000 --> 02:09:16.960 had seen Get Carter and I had seen Pulp in 2324 02:09:17.039 --> 02:09:19.119 the theater, but I didn't connect it. 2325 02:09:19.399 --> 02:09:21.239 I didn't connect them at the time. 2326 02:09:21.319 --> 02:09:23.800 I knew and I didn't, And and Get Carter was 2327 02:09:23.920 --> 02:09:24.560 very upsetting. 2328 02:09:24.560 --> 02:09:25.279 It was one of those things. 2329 02:09:25.279 --> 02:09:27.600 I saw it when I was five or so and 2330 02:09:27.840 --> 02:09:29.720 my fingers were over my eyes, you know, it was 2331 02:09:29.760 --> 02:09:31.800 I was really I was really upset by a lot 2332 02:09:31.800 --> 02:09:34.079 of that movie and it was very emotional that watching 2333 02:09:34.079 --> 02:09:36.439 it now, I go, wow, it's really actually an emotional movie. 2334 02:09:36.880 --> 02:09:39.800 But Hodges was like that, and I, you know, so 2335 02:09:39.960 --> 02:09:45.319 this was you know, this was a great assign. I 2336 02:09:45.399 --> 02:09:48.479 was very touched that Neil asked me to do it 2337 02:09:48.479 --> 02:09:51.840 because he knew it was probably as my Facebook posts 2338 02:09:52.279 --> 02:09:55.000 occasionally I would go and tell about these guys, but 2339 02:09:55.199 --> 02:09:59.640 Richard Klein and UH and Mike Conjos for two totally 2340 02:09:59.680 --> 02:10:05.319 different types of guys, and and just knowing them the 2341 02:10:05.359 --> 02:10:10.760 way I did it was it was a very emotional thing, 2342 02:10:11.000 --> 02:10:14.399 and you know, Uh, and it was nice that you know, 2343 02:10:14.479 --> 02:10:16.880 I would hand it in and you know, you'd hear 2344 02:10:16.920 --> 02:10:21.199 back from you know that George Feltenstein, who is you know, 2345 02:10:21.239 --> 02:10:23.800 the head of Warners. He has to prove these things 2346 02:10:24.079 --> 02:10:25.800 to hear them say like, you know, this is a 2347 02:10:25.840 --> 02:10:29.399 great you know this is this is a good you know, 2348 02:10:29.439 --> 02:10:31.960 tribute to these guys and like and then I'm being 2349 02:10:32.000 --> 02:10:35.000 told that, like, you know, these they never get criticism 2350 02:10:35.159 --> 02:10:38.119 from the approval. You know, it's like either do it, 2351 02:10:38.239 --> 02:10:41.199 cut this, change this. So I was like, you know, 2352 02:10:41.319 --> 02:10:43.600 it was just nice to know that I'm not wasting 2353 02:10:43.760 --> 02:10:49.119 my memories or my emotions, you know, you know, revealing 2354 02:10:49.159 --> 02:10:51.399 them to the public when you know, are they just 2355 02:10:51.439 --> 02:10:54.880 expecting something else out of this? I can only you know, 2356 02:10:55.000 --> 02:10:57.439 make it the same thing whenever I talk about Simula 2357 02:10:57.520 --> 02:11:01.640 met which I'm about to do another commentary with Nathaniel 2358 02:11:01.680 --> 02:11:06.640 for Imprint, a great Sidney Limit movie that no one 2359 02:11:06.720 --> 02:11:09.640 knows is a great Sidney Limit movie, and I really 2360 02:11:09.680 --> 02:11:13.520 invite people to just explore. This is a critical care 2361 02:11:13.680 --> 02:11:17.439 with James Spader and Helen Marron. Have you heard of it. 2362 02:11:18.239 --> 02:11:19.960 I've heard of it. I've never been able to see it, 2363 02:11:19.960 --> 02:11:20.840 but I've heard it's great. 2364 02:11:21.199 --> 02:11:23.079 I don't know. It depends on some of these I've 2365 02:11:23.079 --> 02:11:26.039 never even heard of it before. It's like it is 2366 02:11:26.800 --> 02:11:30.840 phenomenal and really perverse. I'm very funny and it's it's 2367 02:11:30.880 --> 02:11:35.000 a it's a great limit. So just being able to 2368 02:11:35.039 --> 02:11:37.560 have an outlet where I can sort of make people, 2369 02:11:37.720 --> 02:11:40.039 you know, see it through my eyes as opposed to 2370 02:11:40.159 --> 02:11:43.920 even if it's I don't know if it's yeah, but uh, 2371 02:11:44.760 --> 02:11:46.880 but I'm looking I'm really looking forward to a lot 2372 02:11:46.920 --> 02:11:49.159 of these things. Like you know, I was so happy 2373 02:11:49.159 --> 02:11:50.640 to see how Outland was. 2374 02:11:51.359 --> 02:11:53.680 I was about to mention because it got brought up earlier, 2375 02:11:53.720 --> 02:11:56.039 but we haven't like really dove deep into it. You 2376 02:11:56.079 --> 02:12:00.920 did two things for that disc right, No? I did. 2377 02:12:01.680 --> 02:12:08.640 I did four pieces for it, okay, Uh, yeah, there's 2378 02:12:08.720 --> 02:12:12.279 only one, just one really good visual essay that I 2379 02:12:12.319 --> 02:12:16.199 didn't do on it was all about it's high noonism, 2380 02:12:16.680 --> 02:12:19.600 you know, it's connection with high new Uh. And I 2381 02:12:19.640 --> 02:12:22.119 didn't do the commentaries. Obviously. There's two, I think two 2382 02:12:22.159 --> 02:12:25.520 different sets of commentaries. One is I think archival with 2383 02:12:25.800 --> 02:12:29.159 Higham's and then there's uh, there's another and forgive me, 2384 02:12:29.199 --> 02:12:31.199 I forgot who did it. 2385 02:12:31.800 --> 02:12:33.039 I haven't gotten a change. 2386 02:12:33.159 --> 02:12:36.199 Is Chris Alexander, Chris Alexander. Okay, yeah, you know, I 2387 02:12:36.199 --> 02:12:38.319 haven't gotten listened to it. I heard it was a fun, 2388 02:12:38.520 --> 02:12:40.199 fun track, but I haven't listened. 2389 02:12:39.920 --> 02:12:45.199 To it yet. Excuse me, but no, I did. 2390 02:12:46.319 --> 02:12:51.039 Uh the interview with Steven Goldblatt, cinematographer. Uh again, he 2391 02:12:51.159 --> 02:12:55.840 was in Mexico and we we zoomed it and that 2392 02:12:56.000 --> 02:13:00.359 was that was terrifying because he's amazing and I love 2393 02:13:00.439 --> 02:13:04.399 Breaking Glass is the first theatrical film, and he also 2394 02:13:04.560 --> 02:13:07.760 did The Hunger. I mean, I mean to me, you know, 2395 02:13:08.119 --> 02:13:12.000 Cotton Club, Lethal Weapon one and two. I mean, really amazing. 2396 02:13:12.399 --> 02:13:18.920 But he's another very soft spoken, funny, human guy, and 2397 02:13:19.159 --> 02:13:22.159 I love that he had a human perspective of all 2398 02:13:22.279 --> 02:13:25.960 his work that he was happy to share and and 2399 02:13:26.199 --> 02:13:29.760 be very frank and open about because it's an interesting 2400 02:13:29.760 --> 02:13:33.640 story about Outland. Between him and Hiam's, the relationship was 2401 02:13:34.880 --> 02:13:39.159 not perfect, I'll say so, it's a it's an interesting thing. 2402 02:13:39.159 --> 02:13:44.279 But I was screwed by Zoom. I had gone through 2403 02:13:44.279 --> 02:13:47.760 this like long trying to figure out got a better 2404 02:13:47.800 --> 02:13:50.279 computer to do the interview through. I did all this 2405 02:13:50.319 --> 02:13:53.640 stuff and I had to sign up with the Zoom 2406 02:13:53.720 --> 02:13:56.319 on this new computer and I had to get a 2407 02:13:56.399 --> 02:13:59.000 business thing, you know, all the subscription of it, get 2408 02:13:59.000 --> 02:14:02.960 the tie deaf. And I saw him sitting there do 2409 02:14:03.039 --> 02:14:08.800 it and the interview is lovely, just great. And I 2410 02:14:09.000 --> 02:14:13.680 check afterwards and all the settings were at the lowest settings. 2411 02:14:14.239 --> 02:14:16.720 Oh no, imaginable. I'm like, what is this? So I 2412 02:14:16.760 --> 02:14:19.800 ended up talking to someone at Zoom and they're like, oh, 2413 02:14:20.119 --> 02:14:23.680 I said, you guys made me upgrade. Once I had 2414 02:14:23.680 --> 02:14:26.319 all the settings and everything made me upgrade, Suddenly it wasn't. 2415 02:14:26.520 --> 02:14:30.640 I couldn't use the and they go, oh, yeah, well yeah, 2416 02:14:30.680 --> 02:14:34.199 I said, but you know when you upgrade, it usually 2417 02:14:34.279 --> 02:14:40.520 upgrades around your existing settings. And they're like, yeah this, yeah, no, 2418 02:14:40.720 --> 02:14:41.560 we haven't gotten that. 2419 02:14:42.439 --> 02:14:44.039 And I'm like, yeah, I had to. 2420 02:14:44.199 --> 02:14:47.399 If you watch, if you watch the piece with Stephen Goldblat, 2421 02:14:48.039 --> 02:14:51.199 I was sweating because it looked it didn't look good. 2422 02:14:52.159 --> 02:14:54.600 I mean, it was Zoom anyway, it doesn't won't all 2423 02:14:54.600 --> 02:14:57.279 that great. So I finally thought I thought of a 2424 02:14:57.279 --> 02:15:02.199 way to sort of trick the audience into thinking that 2425 02:15:03.239 --> 02:15:07.159 it was appropriate and nothing was wrong. So I don't 2426 02:15:07.199 --> 02:15:09.119 want to ruin it, but I thought it was pretty 2427 02:15:09.159 --> 02:15:12.279 fun pretty funny. The solution that I had. I was 2428 02:15:12.319 --> 02:15:14.640 like sweating my balls off. I was like, Oh, this 2429 02:15:14.680 --> 02:15:17.840 is going to work, and it's I've read all these 2430 02:15:18.319 --> 02:15:24.079 you know, these reviews, not once. Same thing happened with 2431 02:15:25.000 --> 02:15:28.359 Peter McDonald on Excalibur. Had to come up with a 2432 02:15:28.399 --> 02:15:31.760 sort of a psychological thing. So we'll see, we'll see 2433 02:15:31.760 --> 02:15:33.359 if that passes the test. 2434 02:15:33.720 --> 02:15:36.760 I'm eager to see that one. I will admit I did. 2435 02:15:36.840 --> 02:15:39.000 I did get that one ordered the day was announced, 2436 02:15:39.039 --> 02:15:41.479 knowing how important it was to you and knowing the 2437 02:15:41.520 --> 02:15:42.960 amount of work that went into it, and not to 2438 02:15:43.000 --> 02:15:45.760 mention I've still never seen it. I've heard that it's 2439 02:15:45.920 --> 02:15:49.199 really good. And wait, wait for you, I've never seen Excalibur. 2440 02:15:50.119 --> 02:15:53.159 Oh I'm jealous. I'm jealous. 2441 02:15:53.880 --> 02:15:55.479 Nah, I'm behind on that one yet. 2442 02:15:55.640 --> 02:16:00.560 No, no, no, no, not no, I'm jealous. I'm if anything, 2443 02:16:00.680 --> 02:16:03.279 really excited for you. This is what it's for. This 2444 02:16:03.399 --> 02:16:05.159 is what this is what this is for. We were 2445 02:16:05.199 --> 02:16:07.319 supposed to be born seeing all these things. Just sad 2446 02:16:07.399 --> 02:16:11.039 that's happened. I mean, you were that's Happenstance that's happened. 2447 02:16:11.119 --> 02:16:13.960 That's just that's just I'm not in control of that. 2448 02:16:14.000 --> 02:16:16.279 I was an infant. I wish I was seeing a 2449 02:16:16.319 --> 02:16:18.279 triple feature in a seventy seat cinema when I was 2450 02:16:18.279 --> 02:16:21.760 ten years old, that's for sure, you know. 2451 02:16:22.319 --> 02:16:25.359 But but isn't that what we're you know, doing this. 2452 02:16:25.439 --> 02:16:28.840 We're all living vicariously through everyone we meet, right, that's 2453 02:16:28.840 --> 02:16:29.279 the whole thing. 2454 02:16:29.279 --> 02:16:30.159 That's true. That's true. 2455 02:16:30.279 --> 02:16:33.479 But no, no, you're gonna know, you're in control of this. 2456 02:16:33.600 --> 02:16:36.680 You're gonna have a great time. I mean, I'd love 2457 02:16:36.719 --> 02:16:38.520 to see you. Definitely want to hear what you have 2458 02:16:38.559 --> 02:16:41.719 to say about it. It's it's an amazing movie. The 2459 02:16:43.159 --> 02:16:45.559 but what it had to do with borm And touched 2460 02:16:45.600 --> 02:16:48.799 me so much more, you know than just you know, 2461 02:16:48.840 --> 02:16:52.200 it being it was definitely not a product, you know. 2462 02:16:52.840 --> 02:16:59.920 And what's cool is they're including the radically different editor 2463 02:17:00.239 --> 02:17:04.879 of the movie for TV, which I've never seen, and 2464 02:17:04.959 --> 02:17:08.239 I am super psyched that Era went the distance with this. 2465 02:17:09.239 --> 02:17:13.639 And also they're also have a fantastic I mean I 2466 02:17:13.639 --> 02:17:17.000 think we I think everybody doing extras on this, Jonathan 2467 02:17:17.479 --> 02:17:20.600 Zarren and me and whoever, we all had to use 2468 02:17:20.639 --> 02:17:24.959 bits of this. But it was Neil Jordan the documentary. Yeah, 2469 02:17:25.040 --> 02:17:27.120 and that was because Borman gave him a chance. Thought 2470 02:17:27.120 --> 02:17:29.840 he was an interesting guy, just like Pallenberg gave him 2471 02:17:29.840 --> 02:17:31.200 a chance and I want to work with him, and 2472 02:17:31.239 --> 02:17:33.559 he produced it. He produced one of his movies, I think, 2473 02:17:35.280 --> 02:17:39.440 early on, an early film by him. But Jordan is 2474 02:17:39.479 --> 02:17:43.319 another fascinating guy, and you could just tell that he 2475 02:17:43.479 --> 02:17:49.040 was as swept up in Borman's mania as I was, 2476 02:17:49.399 --> 02:17:54.159 you know, way before even before Excalibur, you know, I 2477 02:17:54.159 --> 02:17:57.639 mean I remember seeing zardas my dad. I dragged my 2478 02:17:57.680 --> 02:18:00.680 poor dad, and my dad dragged him to see He 2479 02:18:00.719 --> 02:18:04.120 loved Sean Connery, so fine with him. But we went 2480 02:18:04.879 --> 02:18:07.440 opening night and it was like, you know, I didn't 2481 02:18:07.440 --> 02:18:09.680 know that there were people who were going to think, 2482 02:18:10.040 --> 02:18:12.879 you know, something that was like a bad or. I mean, 2483 02:18:12.959 --> 02:18:15.000 can't be well, that's that's sort of a style, that's 2484 02:18:15.200 --> 02:18:16.079 that's a sense of humor. 2485 02:18:16.120 --> 02:18:16.440 It's not. 2486 02:18:16.639 --> 02:18:18.520 I wouldn't say it was out and out trying to 2487 02:18:18.559 --> 02:18:20.959 be campy. I think there's camp was a certain aspect 2488 02:18:21.440 --> 02:18:26.600 of Borman's humor just in general, but it wasn't. I 2489 02:18:26.639 --> 02:18:28.799 didn't think it sacrificed the film. It's a pretty a 2490 02:18:28.799 --> 02:18:31.440 pretty dense film with some very funny viits and funny 2491 02:18:31.559 --> 02:18:36.840 ideas in it. It's just a satire. But when you 2492 02:18:36.959 --> 02:18:41.600 learn about Vorman. You learn about his Arthurian obsession and 2493 02:18:41.639 --> 02:18:44.440 you start watching his movies from the very beginning, and 2494 02:18:44.520 --> 02:18:46.520 he even goes into it. To Neil Jordan, I was like, 2495 02:18:46.559 --> 02:18:49.040 oh wow, this is even back then, you know, because 2496 02:18:49.079 --> 02:18:51.399 he had to exploit it then, because you know, it 2497 02:18:51.520 --> 02:18:53.639 was making of Excalibur. He had the guy in the 2498 02:18:53.639 --> 02:18:57.040 set right, but he really went into it and I 2499 02:18:57.079 --> 02:19:01.559 and I just I love when a filmmaker is sort 2500 02:19:01.559 --> 02:19:09.040 of so confessional about his private passion, his private focus, 2501 02:19:09.239 --> 02:19:13.639 his reason a little tiny, dark, little, you know, closeted 2502 02:19:13.719 --> 02:19:17.760 reasons for being and this Arthurian thing. And it really 2503 02:19:17.799 --> 02:19:21.840 helped me understand his relationship with Pallenberg because had I 2504 02:19:21.959 --> 02:19:27.399 not known that he wanted to be Arthur, he also 2505 02:19:27.559 --> 02:19:33.920 knew that Arthur needed a Merlin and Pallenberg just his 2506 02:19:34.479 --> 02:19:41.280 character just fit. They both fit the role. It was crazy, 2507 02:19:42.280 --> 02:19:46.239 and so he wanted to It wasn't just my like 2508 02:19:46.360 --> 02:19:49.000 author and I'm working it into my stories. He is 2509 02:19:49.159 --> 02:19:53.920 living it somehow in his real life. He's putting himself 2510 02:19:53.959 --> 02:19:59.120 in positions where he is Arthur and he has to 2511 02:19:59.280 --> 02:20:04.639 learn from certain people, but those certain people have to 2512 02:20:04.719 --> 02:20:10.440 fit such a fragile human criteria about his idea of Merlin, 2513 02:20:10.520 --> 02:20:13.639 what he's, you know, where he's the sources he identifies 2514 02:20:14.319 --> 02:20:20.159 with a million authors of Arthurian legends, So it really 2515 02:20:20.200 --> 02:20:27.040 becomes quite a quite a vivid depiction of you know, 2516 02:20:27.079 --> 02:20:30.600 the heart of this guy. And then you look at 2517 02:20:30.799 --> 02:20:33.079 Deliverance again you go, wow, it's not the movie that 2518 02:20:33.120 --> 02:20:36.399 I remember seeing a hundred times before, or you know, 2519 02:20:37.399 --> 02:20:41.079 you know, Hell in the Pacific or point blank, you go, 2520 02:20:41.360 --> 02:20:45.680 you know, wow, you realize you were innocent when you 2521 02:20:45.719 --> 02:20:49.239 watched it for yourself, and then you've been you know, 2522 02:20:49.399 --> 02:20:56.760 you've sort of been tainted, polluted by knowing the heartbeat 2523 02:20:56.840 --> 02:20:59.680 behind these movies. I just love the feeling that you 2524 02:20:59.719 --> 02:21:02.559 can films so many different ways, and it's like it's 2525 02:21:02.600 --> 02:21:04.879 not just one movie you're watching or suddenly watching it 2526 02:21:04.920 --> 02:21:07.280 through a bunch of different eyes. So this was a 2527 02:21:07.360 --> 02:21:09.559 cool year for a lot of things, like you know, 2528 02:21:09.799 --> 02:21:21.760 the Terminal Man, and also Francesco Simeoni at Radiance and 2529 02:21:22.959 --> 02:21:30.280 Paul martin Kovic at Martinovac excuse me at Radiance and 2530 02:21:30.479 --> 02:21:35.600 now Transmission. They're fantastic too because they I was asked 2531 02:21:35.639 --> 02:21:39.399 simultaneously by these guys if I would do the Wicked 2532 02:21:39.520 --> 02:21:42.840 Game a visual essay on Robert jo Song for the 2533 02:21:42.879 --> 02:21:51.159 Wicked Games set and also uh for the Knight of 2534 02:21:51.200 --> 02:21:56.879 the Juggler the Transmission release, which I'm really thinking, you know, 2535 02:21:56.959 --> 02:22:01.280 I can't be disloyal to Keino, but I they didn't. 2536 02:22:01.319 --> 02:22:03.879 I don't think they poured it over my visual essay, 2537 02:22:03.879 --> 02:22:06.280 but I think, but you know, I honestly think that 2538 02:22:06.360 --> 02:22:10.000 maybe the Transmission one. People has to ask. I'm kind 2539 02:22:10.000 --> 02:22:12.159 of leaning towards that because there's a couple of things 2540 02:22:12.200 --> 02:22:16.719 that could sort of poured over, not the Nathaniel Thompson 2541 02:22:16.799 --> 02:22:20.680 Steve Mitchell commentary, but I may have to say, you know, 2542 02:22:20.719 --> 02:22:23.000 maybe by both if you really care about the movie, 2543 02:22:23.040 --> 02:22:26.200 because there's some really cool stuff on the Transmission one 2544 02:22:26.639 --> 02:22:30.799 as a pretty hefty, hefty set, But I was. I 2545 02:22:30.840 --> 02:22:35.000 loved doing both of those visual essays. Those I did alone. 2546 02:22:35.520 --> 02:22:40.840 Again for the for the Oh Song, I really thought 2547 02:22:40.920 --> 02:22:43.639 I had to. I found out. My god, I was 2548 02:22:43.680 --> 02:22:46.159 shaking when I found out that Tim Lucas was doing 2549 02:22:46.319 --> 02:22:51.040 the commentary for all three of those movies, and I'm like, I, 2550 02:22:51.120 --> 02:22:52.280 you know, step out down. 2551 02:22:52.399 --> 02:22:52.840 I can't. 2552 02:22:53.040 --> 02:22:55.399 I can't compete with my SOF. I wanted to know 2553 02:22:56.239 --> 02:22:59.200 just to get a focus. I ended up calling Tim 2554 02:22:59.719 --> 02:23:03.440 and asking him, like, permission to do this? I'm like that, 2555 02:23:03.600 --> 02:23:06.079 but what am I? So he was very he was 2556 02:23:06.120 --> 02:23:09.360 pretty pretty good with me on that one. He told me, 2557 02:23:09.680 --> 02:23:12.680 you know, more than I hate asking people like what 2558 02:23:12.760 --> 02:23:14.760 did you do? You know, what did you cover? 2559 02:23:14.959 --> 02:23:15.120 You know? 2560 02:23:15.399 --> 02:23:18.360 Such a classless thing to do. But I just didn't 2561 02:23:18.360 --> 02:23:20.719 want to repeat. I didn't want to step on his 2562 02:23:20.799 --> 02:23:23.719 toes because they were pretty mighty toes, you know, And 2563 02:23:23.719 --> 02:23:25.559 I was I was looking forward to when I found 2564 02:23:25.559 --> 02:23:27.479 out he was going, was like, gosh, do I even 2565 02:23:27.479 --> 02:23:31.479 have anything new to say that would be interesting? But 2566 02:23:31.600 --> 02:23:33.639 he was great, Like, we talked for a long time 2567 02:23:33.639 --> 02:23:36.200 and I went and I was just able to suddenly 2568 02:23:36.920 --> 02:23:41.440 do it, you know. But I love I love doing 2569 02:23:41.479 --> 02:23:45.360 both of those pieces. I think Radiance and Transmission they're 2570 02:23:45.360 --> 02:23:49.399 going to be, you know, Radiance is already like side 2571 02:23:49.479 --> 02:23:56.399 swiping people in the world seriously. And I think Francisco 2572 02:23:56.479 --> 02:24:02.440 I think he worked for Arrow for like ten years. Yeah, 2573 02:24:02.600 --> 02:24:05.760 but yet he's found a totally new voice separate from 2574 02:24:05.799 --> 02:24:08.079 that without without hurting anything that Arrow does. 2575 02:24:09.600 --> 02:24:12.159 The funny thing though, a lot of what fran is 2576 02:24:12.200 --> 02:24:14.799 doing now Arrow used to do, and you could literally 2577 02:24:14.840 --> 02:24:18.159 tell what was fran coded that entire time, the moment 2578 02:24:18.239 --> 02:24:20.680 he stepped away and the moment the Hut group thing happened, 2579 02:24:21.040 --> 02:24:24.840 it is all a completely different world. And he I 2580 02:24:24.840 --> 02:24:29.000 mean he stepped in and immediately was not just I 2581 02:24:29.040 --> 02:24:32.479 don't know, not just successful, but like in an enthralling way, 2582 02:24:32.680 --> 02:24:34.799 in a way that everybody was scared. 2583 02:24:34.520 --> 02:24:41.559 At, beautifully put. Yeah, absolutely, I totally concur Yeah, it's 2584 02:24:41.639 --> 02:24:45.479 it's it's remarkable and great though that now here you 2585 02:24:45.760 --> 02:24:48.879 can we can talk about not even the producers of 2586 02:24:48.920 --> 02:24:53.559 the disc the creators. Now we're talking about like the 2587 02:24:53.680 --> 02:24:55.879 people who created the label. 2588 02:24:57.239 --> 02:24:59.559 Like curation is a big deal. Yeah. 2589 02:24:59.680 --> 02:25:03.440 Man, it's like, you know, it's just it's just wild. 2590 02:25:03.559 --> 02:25:06.319 It's really wild, and it's so liberating to me because 2591 02:25:06.360 --> 02:25:08.520 this is this is the world I've been inducted into. 2592 02:25:08.639 --> 02:25:08.840 You know. 2593 02:25:09.840 --> 02:25:12.079 Well, after we're after we're not live, we got to 2594 02:25:12.079 --> 02:25:14.440 talk about something else about that too. That'll be fun 2595 02:25:14.520 --> 02:25:19.600 before you hang, Okay, you got it's other than I 2596 02:25:19.600 --> 02:25:21.799 think you've named a lot of the more recent ones. 2597 02:25:21.840 --> 02:25:24.120 Other than that, how about some Keta Lber stuff you've 2598 02:25:24.120 --> 02:25:24.600 done this year? 2599 02:25:25.520 --> 02:25:27.920 Oh my gosh, that's where I like you. 2600 02:25:28.159 --> 02:25:31.159 Name one of eighty three commentaries. 2601 02:25:30.559 --> 02:25:35.760 That I mean, I mean, they're all, they're all really cool. 2602 02:25:36.920 --> 02:25:39.600 I just have to be careful not to announce something 2603 02:25:39.600 --> 02:25:46.879 that hasn't been well. Obviously, everybody Daniel and I Freakin's 2604 02:25:46.959 --> 02:25:49.639 Rampage we wanted to do. And the thing was as 2605 02:25:49.639 --> 02:25:53.440 funny is that afterwards, I think you've even commented on 2606 02:25:53.479 --> 02:25:57.200 this phenomenon, is that you could be offered the greatest 2607 02:25:57.920 --> 02:26:01.200 set on Earth, with the greatest x I print, the 2608 02:26:01.239 --> 02:26:05.639 greatest transfer, and someone's going to be unhappy about like something, 2609 02:26:05.959 --> 02:26:10.559 and afterwards, you know, not that I blame them, but 2610 02:26:11.719 --> 02:26:16.959 it's like someone had noticed that there was like literally 2611 02:26:18.239 --> 02:26:22.760 maybe a thirty five second scene or two or two 2612 02:26:23.319 --> 02:26:30.120 thirty second not even scenes from the original. Maybe that 2613 02:26:30.600 --> 02:26:34.200 maybe it was the Japanese laser disc now I had 2614 02:26:34.520 --> 02:26:36.639 I didn't have when I was preparing for it. I 2615 02:26:36.680 --> 02:26:41.959 didn't have the I didn't have the new version yet. 2616 02:26:42.159 --> 02:26:46.040 I didn't have the the two new versions, and I 2617 02:26:46.079 --> 02:26:48.760 only had the That's what I saw it.

And it's like it must have 2624 02:27:09.000 --> 02:27:12.000 been so minor that I didn't even notice it was 2625 02:27:12.040 --> 02:27:14.319 missing because we're already in the thick of you know, 2626 02:27:14.399 --> 02:27:18.040 now we have the thing, the actual thing, were watching it, 2627 02:27:19.440 --> 02:27:21.600 and this is gonna happen. That's what Video Watchdog was 2628 02:27:21.600 --> 02:27:23.879 there for. I mean, like, you know, there's a you know, 2629 02:27:23.959 --> 02:27:26.639 if they were still Tim was still doing Video Watchdog, 2630 02:27:27.399 --> 02:27:29.879 my god, it would be an insane It would be 2631 02:27:30.159 --> 02:27:32.520 you know, a hundred different versions of every fucking movie, 2632 02:27:32.680 --> 02:27:37.920 you know, so that you know, we did this, which 2633 02:27:38.000 --> 02:27:43.840 I always thought the original was an astonishing freakin movie. 2634 02:27:44.600 --> 02:27:50.479 And then when Mirramax, you know, basically after Delorentius ghosted 2635 02:27:50.559 --> 02:27:56.360 him ghost right, and the contract was such where freaking 2636 02:27:56.479 --> 02:28:01.120 owed the money to the people who didn't get you know, 2637 02:28:01.760 --> 02:28:05.760 when the thing was not distributed. Uh, Dilarentiez just ghosted 2638 02:28:05.840 --> 02:28:08.079 him and left him, so he had to do something. 2639 02:28:08.600 --> 02:28:13.959 So Mirramax, I guess they screened it to test audiences 2640 02:28:14.600 --> 02:28:18.799 who were already you know, I mean silence of the 2641 02:28:18.920 --> 02:28:21.319 lammed out, you know, it was that was out, that 2642 02:28:21.399 --> 02:28:21.879 wasn't out. 2643 02:28:22.120 --> 02:28:23.639 That there was nothing when it was made. 2644 02:28:23.799 --> 02:28:26.319 You know, it wasn't made yet, but I'm sure there 2645 02:28:26.360 --> 02:28:28.120 was the only reason why Merrimax agreed to do it, 2646 02:28:28.159 --> 02:28:31.879 and and to when they when they did the new version, 2647 02:28:31.920 --> 02:28:34.920 it's such a dramatically different edit. And I remember hearing 2648 02:28:35.159 --> 02:28:37.719 before I saw the new version. I remember hearing freaking 2649 02:28:37.840 --> 02:28:41.120 going on about you know, and it sounded so contrived, like, oh, 2650 02:28:41.200 --> 02:28:44.000 I have this political stance and I think I changed 2651 02:28:44.040 --> 02:28:45.959 as a human being, and blah blah blah. And then 2652 02:28:46.000 --> 02:28:49.799 I find out, No, he needed that sale really bad, 2653 02:28:50.440 --> 02:28:54.520 so I think he's just, you know, he he cheat 2654 02:28:54.680 --> 02:28:58.399 just I don't know if he pretends the right word, 2655 02:28:59.200 --> 02:29:03.799 but he and cocted this scenario, this pitch to audiences. 2656 02:29:04.719 --> 02:29:07.120 Why you know that it has a difference, It really 2657 02:29:07.200 --> 02:29:10.879 almost doesn't. What it does have is it's not subtle, 2658 02:29:11.559 --> 02:29:15.639 and it becomes almost propagandistic, and they made him change 2659 02:29:15.920 --> 02:29:21.840 every mysterious lyrical which is what his whole structure is. 2660 02:29:21.879 --> 02:29:24.399 In any movie, you have to spend forty five minutes 2661 02:29:24.440 --> 02:29:27.200 figuring out where you are, who you're with, what their 2662 02:29:27.239 --> 02:29:29.360 point is, who these people are, and what's the drama 2663 02:29:29.399 --> 02:29:31.879 and where we're going with it? I mean, watch the brinkstrip, 2664 02:29:32.360 --> 02:29:36.040 any any movie French connection. You're not told, you're thrown 2665 02:29:36.040 --> 02:29:39.360 in the middle of everything, and you sort it out eventually, 2666 02:29:39.600 --> 02:29:40.959 like they have the characters. 2667 02:29:40.799 --> 02:29:47.239 Even Jade start little jewelry boxes of right. 2668 02:29:47.479 --> 02:29:54.719 Look, the longer version of Jade is fantastic. I mean, 2669 02:29:55.040 --> 02:29:57.239 it just is a great. It's a great It does 2670 02:29:57.319 --> 02:30:03.479 not resemble in those tiny minutes changes. It doesn't resemble 2671 02:30:03.559 --> 02:30:05.959 the original that was in the theater. And this is 2672 02:30:06.000 --> 02:30:10.239 sort of the same story with with Rampage. So I 2673 02:30:10.319 --> 02:30:12.159 was really pleased with how that came out. I just 2674 02:30:12.200 --> 02:30:15.719 didn't know that. I didn't notice there was another minutia. 2675 02:30:15.840 --> 02:30:17.799 You know. I'm glad I owned the laser disc. I 2676 02:30:17.840 --> 02:30:19.879 guess if there is something that's small. I haven't even 2677 02:30:19.920 --> 02:30:24.440 gone back to see what those differences are yet, but 2678 02:30:24.440 --> 02:30:25.879 but I was pretty proud of that. I thought we 2679 02:30:26.000 --> 02:30:27.879 I thought that was a great movie, and I was 2680 02:30:27.879 --> 02:30:30.399 really happy that people were finally getting to see it. 2681 02:30:30.520 --> 02:30:33.360 You know, it's certainly not censored in any way or 2682 02:30:33.360 --> 02:30:35.719 that there was anything, you know, you know, and we 2683 02:30:35.799 --> 02:30:38.959 just did another movie as well. I can't I don't 2684 02:30:39.040 --> 02:30:41.360 like announce that it's it's coming up. 2685 02:30:41.280 --> 02:30:41.600 But. 2686 02:30:43.159 --> 02:30:48.079 Another another movie where there was like we we did 2687 02:30:49.000 --> 02:30:53.120 the theatrical release version of a movie coming up that's 2688 02:30:53.120 --> 02:30:57.120 they're going to release, and they're including there's a European 2689 02:30:57.520 --> 02:31:05.000 version which supposedly has more violence in it. It really 2690 02:31:05.040 --> 02:31:09.239 does it like it does, but it's like, no, there's nothing. 2691 02:31:10.000 --> 02:31:13.040 There's nothing there that you would never even notice it 2692 02:31:13.120 --> 02:31:16.000 if you saw both versions back to it. So that's 2693 02:31:16.040 --> 02:31:17.719 the only reason why I'm like, you know, yeah, and 2694 02:31:17.799 --> 02:31:21.040 I'm not like that nor normally like, no it's censored. 2695 02:31:21.399 --> 02:31:22.799 Apparently, No, it's not at all. 2696 02:31:22.879 --> 02:31:25.239 It was just a couple of shots here and there, 2697 02:31:25.680 --> 02:31:30.000 almost nothing like to be whacked out about. So I, 2698 02:31:30.239 --> 02:31:32.600 you know, Nathaniel and I were both like, that's just 2699 02:31:33.479 --> 02:31:36.959 really this is trivial. And I'm not being flippant about it, 2700 02:31:37.040 --> 02:31:40.280 because again, like I, you know, there are cases where 2701 02:31:40.319 --> 02:31:42.799 I would be like luckily, like the Devils, you know, 2702 02:31:42.920 --> 02:31:47.879 where there's five different there are five different movies with 2703 02:31:48.040 --> 02:31:52.200 five different themes. Now they've cut everything a different a 2704 02:31:52.239 --> 02:31:55.520 different film. But Rampage was was a lot. It was 2705 02:31:55.559 --> 02:31:58.040 really good. I really liked doing that. Again, you know, 2706 02:31:58.120 --> 02:32:04.920 like Rachel pointed out, I really love doing the Belmondo's 2707 02:32:05.000 --> 02:32:08.040 and the but not even for the bell, not even 2708 02:32:08.040 --> 02:32:11.319 for the stars, not even for the directors or all 2709 02:32:11.360 --> 02:32:17.879 these wonderful directors that were spit on by the new 2710 02:32:17.879 --> 02:32:22.600 wave directors in France as being old fogies, and in 2711 02:32:22.719 --> 02:32:26.479 which they weren't, I mean or cater having built up 2712 02:32:26.479 --> 02:32:30.719 the language mainly around Hollywood directors and not a unique 2713 02:32:31.200 --> 02:32:35.440 cultural voice, a stylistic voice from which you know, was 2714 02:32:35.600 --> 02:32:40.200 a concern I guess of that era, late sixties, mid sixties. 2715 02:32:40.799 --> 02:32:45.479 And so I really love I love going in and 2716 02:32:45.680 --> 02:32:49.000 you know, introducing people to doctors like Usual Granier or 2717 02:32:49.360 --> 02:32:56.399 or Jean Delenois or Jean Armand or you know, all 2718 02:32:56.440 --> 02:32:58.920 these really really terrific directors. 2719 02:33:00.840 --> 02:33:03.799 You know, a lot of stuff that woudn't come out 2720 02:33:03.840 --> 02:33:05.639 from anybody besides Keino, that's for sure. 2721 02:33:06.639 --> 02:33:09.040 And I think they're doing a really great job mainly. 2722 02:33:09.079 --> 02:33:12.799 I mean, you know, it's not up to them. The 2723 02:33:12.879 --> 02:33:15.120 elements are not always up to them, right, But I 2724 02:33:15.559 --> 02:33:18.639 know I do know that, and I have a lot 2725 02:33:18.680 --> 02:33:24.799 of respect for Frank Tarzi, who curates that company impeccably. 2726 02:33:24.879 --> 02:33:27.079 I mean, there was a couple of times where there 2727 02:33:27.200 --> 02:33:32.360 was something that you know, we noticed about a print 2728 02:33:32.479 --> 02:33:36.680 or something or and I know for a fact several 2729 02:33:36.719 --> 02:33:40.079 times we would have reported to him, and he's when 2730 02:33:40.120 --> 02:33:42.920 he couldn't find a satisfactory once he found out of 2731 02:33:42.959 --> 02:33:48.399 the issue, if there wasn't a satisfactory conclusion, rather than 2732 02:33:48.479 --> 02:33:51.159 cynically treat it like a product and just throw it 2733 02:33:51.200 --> 02:33:57.120 out there, he refused to do it until better elements 2734 02:33:57.120 --> 02:33:58.280 were found or something. 2735 02:33:58.360 --> 02:33:58.600 You know. 2736 02:33:59.120 --> 02:34:03.559 So I really, you know, give huge hats off to 2737 02:34:03.719 --> 02:34:07.920 Frank for for again, like you're saying, you know, you're 2738 02:34:07.920 --> 02:34:09.879 saying it's and it's not just because you know they've 2739 02:34:09.920 --> 02:34:14.239 they've gotten the catalog.

So Keino has 2744 02:34:29.319 --> 02:34:31.520 done some great stuff this year. I mean, I'm trying 2745 02:34:31.520 --> 02:34:34.879 to think of others. My god, yeah, I can't even 2746 02:34:35.120 --> 02:34:39.399 Oh my goodness, the sugar Hill we did.

He really spilled his guts out over it too. 2756 02:35:10.200 --> 02:35:11.040 It is kind of cool. 2757 02:35:11.319 --> 02:35:13.760 Made me go back and read the novel, uh to 2758 02:35:13.799 --> 02:35:15.760 see there was a lot of a lot of changes 2759 02:35:15.799 --> 02:35:18.200 in it.

And also the god, the god said if 2761 02:35:21.879 --> 02:35:25.639 you saw that a British I thought that was a 2762 02:35:25.639 --> 02:35:31.000 wonderful little movie, really unnecessarily nuanced, and you know, it 2763 02:35:31.079 --> 02:35:34.440 was like, wow, this is very you know, literary almost away, 2764 02:35:34.479 --> 02:35:38.120 and it was smart and a good ultimately a cool 2765 02:35:38.159 --> 02:35:41.840 horror film that separated itself from why it was you know, 2766 02:35:42.200 --> 02:35:43.680 because of the omen you know it was. 2767 02:35:43.760 --> 02:35:45.000 It was like, you know, it's. 2768 02:35:44.799 --> 02:35:48.559 Different, there's a different, totally different thing. Wasn't a cynical ripoff. 2769 02:35:48.559 --> 02:35:52.079 It was handled by some interesting people. So it was good. 2770 02:35:52.479 --> 02:35:55.799 You know, it was definitely a good lush year. But 2771 02:35:55.840 --> 02:36:01.680 there's so many titles that I'm I'm forgetting, but that's okay. 2772 02:36:01.879 --> 02:36:04.079 I mean, you give hats off to Frank Tarzan, we 2773 02:36:04.120 --> 02:36:06.520 got we gotta give heads off to you.

Each week, 2849 02:40:08.159 --> 02:40:11.440 we dive deep into a movie, discussing everything from the 2850 02:40:11.520 --> 02:40:15.319 story and performances to the cinematography and score, not to 2851 02:40:15.399 --> 02:40:18.799 mention budgets and awards. We have covered iconic series like 2852 02:40:19.200 --> 02:40:23.280 Francis Rcoppolas, The Godfather trilogy, examining themes of power, family, 2853 02:40:23.319 --> 02:40:24.920 and the dark side of the American dream. 2854 02:40:25.000 --> 02:40:28.200 We've explored the works of groundbreaking directors like Catherine Bigelow, 2855 02:40:28.239 --> 02:40:30.200 discussing her mastery of tension. 2856 02:40:30.360 --> 02:40:33.799 We've looked at heist films, great car chases, great years 2857 02:40:33.799 --> 02:40:36.239 in film, couples on the run, and more. 2858 02:40:36.319 --> 02:40:40.200 Our discussions go beyond the surface, examining what makes each 2859 02:40:40.239 --> 02:40:43.280 film tick. We believe that when the movie ends, the 2860 02:40:43.319 --> 02:40:45.280 conversation begins. 2861 02:40:44.959 --> 02:40:47.840 And we'd love for you to join that conversation.
