Speaker 1: You are now listening to the Someone's Favorite productions podcast network.
Speaker 2: What's Up?
Speaker 3: Happy Thursday, everybody, welcome back to Reconnected here with Chris Higgins.
Speaker 3: You might know his bearded film guy from Instagram or YouTube,
Speaker 3: but more importantly, we're gonna be talking about his brand
Speaker 3: new podcast tonight.
Speaker 2: Chris, welcome back, my friend.
Speaker 4: Hey, thank you man.
Speaker 5: I'm stoked to be on another episode. I thought the
Speaker 5: one I thought the first time was like a one
Speaker 5: and done. I was like, I'm never gonna get a
Speaker 5: chance to do that again. I tell you texted me
Speaker 5: and I was like, okay, yeah, welcome.
Speaker 3: Even then, like the I don't even remember when we
Speaker 3: schedule this, but it's been so long since we talked
Speaker 3: about it. Because I schedule so far in advance, it
Speaker 3: feels like forever too.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that was like beginning of December, because I remember.
Speaker 5: I remember thinking I'll be on before January, and then
Speaker 5: you were like, I got January ninth. I was like, oh, okay,
Speaker 5: all right.
Speaker 2: And that was only because of a cancelation.
Speaker 5: A second choice.
Speaker 2: I see, okay, No, I wanted to use it as possible.
Speaker 2: It was a nice, nice win.
Speaker 3: Obviously, the big thing to talk about before we get
Speaker 3: into anything tonight.
Speaker 2: California is on fire. Do anything that you can to help.
Speaker 3: Obviously, as far as I know, everybody that is friends
Speaker 3: of the show, whether they are generally watching or a
Speaker 3: part of it, or you know them from labels, As
Speaker 3: far as I know, everybody is safe. There are a
Speaker 3: couple very close calls friend of mine that lives in Altadena,
Speaker 3: which a lot of people hear that name right now
Speaker 3: and get terrified because Altadena is basically gone. He lives
Speaker 3: in an apartment in Altadena, and somehow the apartment building
Speaker 3: is safe, but pretty much the rest of the town
Speaker 3: is decimated at this point. I've got two or three
Speaker 3: more friends that are evacuated still that are keeping an
Speaker 3: eye on everything, but everything.
Speaker 2: Else Jeremy's fine. Stan is fine.
Speaker 3: I know people are gonna worry because Craig from Deaf
Speaker 3: Crocodile is not in the chat right now.
Speaker 2: He's fine.
Speaker 3: We just talked on the phone literally not even twenty
Speaker 3: minutes ago. He's just unfortunately not gonna be able to
Speaker 3: be here for the show tonight. But it is crazy.
Speaker 3: Have you been staying up to date on everything happening
Speaker 3: out there?
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean just through I feel like half of
Speaker 5: what I saw on Facebook and stuff was a little
Speaker 5: bit of kind of fake news, like a lot of
Speaker 5: people posting the Hollywood sign on fire and stuff like that.
Speaker 4: But keeping up as much as I can.
Speaker 5: I do want to say, though, there is a YouTuber
Speaker 5: that I follow in our community, and his name is
Speaker 5: a Hunter Bolding, and he's a He's somebody that I
Speaker 5: followed for a long time. He's got a great channel,
Speaker 5: great collection. He actually posted yesterday that he lost his
Speaker 5: entire house and his collection.
Speaker 4: Uh in the he specifically said the eaton fire in LA.
Speaker 5: He didn't post anything as far as like any sort
Speaker 5: of go fundme or anything like that, just saying that
Speaker 5: is like if you don't if you're not subscribed to him,
Speaker 5: go over and subscribe. That way we can kind of
Speaker 5: keep up on what's going on. He's the only person
Speaker 5: I've seen that I personally know who has been directly affected.
Speaker 5: So I want to make sure that was known, you
Speaker 5: know what I mean.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, that's a that's a lot.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I can't imagine.
Speaker 3: I mean, the amount of the amount of people that
Speaker 3: I've seen online two that are like their celebrities, fuck them,
Speaker 3: they're rich. They can just build another house, and it's
Speaker 3: like not not exactly like a lot of these people.
Speaker 3: Sure you may have seen them in one or two things,
Speaker 3: but they're not like rolling in money. And because it's California,
Speaker 3: a lot of people don't even understand a lot of
Speaker 3: these insurance companies have just quietly canceled the fire protections
Speaker 3: from some of these because it's more dangerous, so they
Speaker 3: must they might genuinely just be screwed.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's insane, and I mean it's very fortunate that
Speaker 5: I'm saying fortunate. It's it's it's fortunate that there haven't
Speaker 5: been more lives lost. You know, there have been five reported,
Speaker 5: which is unfortunate that it's any number at all, but
Speaker 5: it could have been a lot worse. I know, me
Speaker 5: as the animal lover, I think of every you know,
Speaker 5: rabbit and whatever else is in the woods. I think
Speaker 5: of all of them. I think of the dogs and cats,
Speaker 5: all that stuff. But it's it's it's surreal. It doesn't
Speaker 5: feel real, Like I don't have the news at my house.
Speaker 5: I don't have cable, so I don't watch the news.
Speaker 5: We went over to my mother in law's house and
Speaker 5: they were watching the news and seeing the endless footage play.
Speaker 5: It's nightmare material watching it from the other side of
Speaker 5: the country. So I can't imagine, you know.
Speaker 3: I mean even some of the like the bigger names
Speaker 3: that we know that has lost stuff, like Billy.
Speaker 4: Fritages, Yeah, Billy Crystal.
Speaker 3: Billy Crystal lost his house and they've lived in that
Speaker 3: house since nineteen seventy nine, Like they've raised kids in
Speaker 3: that house, and they've seen how many different presidents, they've
Speaker 3: seen how many different you know, ups and downs on
Speaker 3: their careers, and now the house is literally just non existent.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, And I do think there's a difference between
Speaker 5: we all see the celebrities who own five or six houses,
Speaker 5: right whatever, and it is very easy to say, like, hey,
Speaker 5: they can just pack up and go to their other home.
Speaker 5: Not all that is not every celebrity a is that
Speaker 5: that way with their money that they're going to own
Speaker 5: them many properties. But I know, no matter how many
Speaker 5: homes one can own, there's always one that is sentimental
Speaker 5: where you said, you raise your family, you do everything.
Speaker 5: And even my apartment, which I don't even own, I
Speaker 5: pay way expensive rent on. If I was to suddenly
Speaker 5: lose this in some catastrophic experience, this is still home, right,
Speaker 5: it would be, it would be unimaginable, So I can't
Speaker 5: even begin to to to really think about it, you know.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Josephine de Marco.
Speaker 3: One of the comments we get every week of what
Speaker 3: she's been watching, Genevieve, Tunes of Glory, Choose Me, the Visitors,
Speaker 3: Davy l Arthur. I think I've seen Arthur, but that's
Speaker 3: honestly the only one from this list I'm dying to see.
Speaker 3: Choose Me now that it's coming out in Criterion, You
Speaker 3: see any of these ones?
Speaker 5: Choose me I'm interested in. I've seen Day of the Owl,
Speaker 5: but it was a long time ago.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, Eugene Levy did lose his house, that's right, yep.
Speaker 2: Oh god that sucks. Yeah all right.
Speaker 3: So yeah, again, like lots of lots of terrible things
Speaker 3: happening out there. It seems like it's just been a really,
Speaker 3: really crappy year for most people. I know, somebody is
Speaker 3: going through something every day. It feels like my mom's
Speaker 3: car was total this year already. For those that are gone, Yeah,
Speaker 3: my brother was driving it and somebody rear ended them
Speaker 3: after driving through a red light. Yeah, and like it
Speaker 3: shouldn't have been totaled and they told it out. Now
Speaker 3: she has to go buy a new car. I don't
Speaker 3: know how many people know this. I don't think I
Speaker 3: even posted on the discord because it's been such a
Speaker 3: crazy week. My youngest kid broke his arm last Friday
Speaker 3: in like a really random ass accident.
Speaker 5: All right, please tell the story if you can.
Speaker 3: Okay, So it's freaking cold in Missouri right now, like
Speaker 3: on top of you know, a lot of people know
Speaker 3: that we had this big polar vortex coming last Friday.
Speaker 3: It wasn't that bad, but it was definitely like stay
Speaker 3: inside cold. We were all in my kid's bedroom. They
Speaker 3: both share a room, and they've got one of those
Speaker 3: like over the closet door basketball hoops, and so we
Speaker 3: were playing horse and it's not like a violent game,
Speaker 3: nobody's running or anything. My youngest thought it would have
Speaker 3: been brilliant to put one of his feet up on
Speaker 3: their laundry basket, just so he could be off balance
Speaker 3: and take a shot. And of course it's a laundry basket.
Speaker 3: So the moment he put his foot up there, it
Speaker 3: shot out from under him and his feet went with it,
Speaker 3: flew up in the air and landed on both of
Speaker 3: his hands to break his fall, and his left hand
Speaker 3: like it wasn't under him or anything, but he sprung
Speaker 3: up and he was like, I'm okay.
Speaker 2: He does this every single time.
Speaker 3: But right after he said I'm okay, like he thought
Speaker 3: about it for a second and then started crying, and
Speaker 3: I was like, no, let's take a break and unlike
Speaker 3: just breathe and make sure everything's okay. He was shocked.
Speaker 3: He wasn't gonna move everything real quick. And then about
Speaker 3: twenty minutes later, we'd set him up with ice and
Speaker 3: we're like, here's drink some water, here's some ice for
Speaker 3: your arm. He was sobbing and so me knowing that
Speaker 3: he's always okay. Within like a minute tops something was
Speaker 3: very wrong, so took him in. We had to go
Speaker 3: to one hospital and it was the closest hospital. They
Speaker 3: verified through xtual X ray that was broken, so we
Speaker 3: had to go drive to the children's hospital and then
Speaker 3: we were at that hospital for almost eight hours. After that,
Speaker 3: we had to have an orthopedic surgeon come in, not
Speaker 3: like put him in like not put him under a
Speaker 3: deep sleep or anything like that, but they give him
Speaker 3: like some drugs to feel sleepy and go to sleep,
Speaker 3: just like a little bit so that they can realign
Speaker 3: the bone. Thankfully, it wasn't bad. It was like a
Speaker 3: slight push. But yeah, everything is Everything is good. He's
Speaker 3: in a cast four to six weeks. He's gonna be fine.
Speaker 3: Just just crazy.
Speaker 4: So have you have you ever broken a bone?
Speaker 3: He is the first one in our entire house to
Speaker 3: break a bone.
Speaker 4: Okay, I've never broken a bone.
Speaker 2: Me neither, my wife neither. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 5: I Actually before we were recording an episode the other day,
Speaker 5: I was talking to Chuck. The conversation came about milk
Speaker 5: and how I was part of what I feel like,
Speaker 5: the last generation to like drink whole milk as a kid,
Speaker 5: like you got home from school.
Speaker 4: That's what our parents gave us.
Speaker 2: Yep.
Speaker 4: And yeah, I've never broken a bone.
Speaker 5: And I every single time you could stop me on
Speaker 5: the street and ask me, and I will claim that
Speaker 5: it was the whole milk when I was a kid.
Speaker 3: So that is hilarious everybody's sharing of breaking bones in
Speaker 3: the chat. Now I'll miss forty five on the big screen, cellist.
Speaker 3: That sounds crazy. Speaking of that, let's go into our
Speaker 3: normal recent watches and pickups.
Speaker 2: What have you been picking up lately.
Speaker 5: Okay, so I did just get this because I'm not
Speaker 5: a giant media book guy most of the time because
Speaker 5: I can't read. Most of them are German, so I
Speaker 5: cannot read German and I want to read the material
Speaker 5: and I can't. I'm not gonna sit there with Google Translate.
Speaker 5: But Cape Light was a company I was always aware of.
Speaker 5: I never picked anything up by them before I go
Speaker 5: I go on Blu ray dot com and I picked
Speaker 5: up The Lover Nice see. Yeah, so this is one
Speaker 5: I had never seen before. I'd only heard of it
Speaker 5: kind of like doing research on other movies and stuff.
Speaker 5: And I actually watched this last night and it looked
Speaker 5: incredible and I actually really really like I do think
Speaker 5: I did open this up a little too far and
Speaker 5: I kind of started hearing the creaking of the spine
Speaker 5: because it does kind of feel like, I don't know,
Speaker 5: I feel like I feel like media books are tough,
Speaker 5: you know, especially on the spine and stuff. So the
Speaker 5: moment I kind of opened it too far, I was like, oh,
Speaker 5: I gotta be careful. But yeah, I love this setup,
Speaker 5: just the little write ups and all that stuff. So
Speaker 5: this was a fun This is a fun grab man,
Speaker 5: my first one from k P Light.
Speaker 2: Capel like does good work.
Speaker 3: They've got good visual quality generally, and what they got
Speaker 3: in the media books honestly pretty damn nice.
Speaker 2: I tend to like them quite a bit.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, so that was one. Let's see what else
Speaker 5: I have up here. I think I talked to you
Speaker 5: about this the other night. I picked up do you
Speaker 5: say it? Hacks In?
Speaker 2: That's how I say it. I hope that's correct.
Speaker 5: Okay, So I picked up Hackson from Radiance. This is
Speaker 5: when I was back and forth on One thing that's
Speaker 5: cool is when you get into something like podcasting, you
Speaker 5: really start diving into more films of like historical significance
Speaker 5: and more into things that are kind of like for
Speaker 5: research purposes, right, and this is one that I want
Speaker 5: to pick up. I've never seen this. I have seen
Speaker 5: images from it. I know some of the most iconic moments,
Speaker 5: But to tell me to show me the images from
Speaker 5: this movie and tell me it's from nineteen twenty two,
Speaker 5: it almost doesn't connect in my in my head doesn't
Speaker 5: feel that way. So I inched to check this out.
Speaker 5: This is a beautiful release from Radiance. Of course, with
Speaker 5: the booklet, a ton of bonus features great audio commentaries
Speaker 5: all that stuff. So I'm excited to take a dive
Speaker 5: into this. And then my last one is is a
Speaker 5: massive one. This thing's huge. I picked up the Art
Speaker 5: Attack pack nice from Umbrella.
Speaker 4: I am a.
Speaker 5: Little bit of a.
Speaker 4: Like Terrifier.
Speaker 5: I love what it's doing for the genre, mostly because
Speaker 5: seeing like the birth of a new icon in my
Speaker 5: day and age is incredible. I do think he's art
Speaker 5: is kind of a victim to the spirit Halloween crowd, yeah,
Speaker 5: you know where people like My wife was at a
Speaker 5: convention recently and she was like, some guy was wearing
Speaker 5: a Terrifier three shirt and she overheard him saying, I've
Speaker 5: never seen any of these movies. I just bought this
Speaker 5: because I think the shirt's really cool. What yeah, yeah, so.
Speaker 5: But at the same time, I love these movies and
Speaker 5: I wanted a pack of everything together. Umbrella does a
Speaker 5: great job with this, And I didn't get the super
Speaker 5: gusto with the glasses and the lego and all that
Speaker 5: other I didn't feel the need for that. But another
Speaker 5: reason was the first of all, they're all in four K,
Speaker 5: so all hallows eve. Terrifier one, two three, all in
Speaker 5: four K. Individual slip covers a booklet the Whole Gamut,
Speaker 5: But there's an exclusive commentary on Terrifier three with the
Speaker 5: makeup effects artists who for the third movie was not
Speaker 5: Damien Leone. So really really really interested to dive into
Speaker 5: that because I think Terrifier three had some of my
Speaker 5: favorite kills of the franchise, right, but this thing weighs
Speaker 5: like nine pounds and I don't know where I'm going
Speaker 5: to put it yet. So yeah, on.
Speaker 3: That one is all Hallows Eve on four K as well,
Speaker 3: because I thought that was only Blu Ray the way
Speaker 3: they advertised it.
Speaker 5: Uh, I thought it was on four K.
Speaker 4: Let me, uh, let's see.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and like that comment just said I didn't see that.
Speaker 5: I didn't see the name on that comment, so I apologize.
Speaker 5: But Danny in Australia, it is ushering a new generation
Speaker 5: of horror fans, which I love. I just there's something
Speaker 5: too when you're when you're like a little bit old,
Speaker 5: like I feel like like I'm in my thirties, So
Speaker 5: the trendy stuff, there's a little bit of like general
Speaker 5: opposition to it first because you're like it's kind of like, uh,
Speaker 5: people who have only seen Scream they love horror movies.
Speaker 5: But they only know ghost Face and Scream, right, and
Speaker 5: then that's kind of like the walls that they put up.
Speaker 5: If it's not like Scream, they're not into it. I
Speaker 5: feel like there's a little bit of that with Terrifier.
Speaker 5: But it is a great entry way and I just
Speaker 5: hope that everybody who loves Terrifier does uh, does branch
Speaker 5: out and you know, watch more. Let's see here. Yeah,
Speaker 5: it doesn't say it's on the Blu ray or the
Speaker 5: four K. It just says it's just there. It just
Speaker 5: says the yeah, the anthology prequel film.
Speaker 2: So I have no idea.
Speaker 5: If anybody knows for sure, correct us.
Speaker 3: All right, So my recent stuff I had, I was
Speaker 3: gifted a one dollars gift card to Brother Belile. Go
Speaker 3: check out Brotherblile dot com if you are after any
Speaker 3: boutique stuff.
Speaker 2: Chris brought up media books.
Speaker 3: They are the best and most up to date carrier
Speaker 3: of German media books in the whole US. If you
Speaker 3: want any of those fancy ones, They've got all the
Speaker 3: crazy art from overseas. Dustin is even carrying art prints
Speaker 3: from I think it's pronounced Alon. Sheety is the artist
Speaker 3: that has done a lot of Terrifier prints and they
Speaker 3: have exclusive They're the only carrier in the US of
Speaker 3: exclusive art prints that are autographed of these Terrifier prints
Speaker 3: right now, Brother Blile dot Com. That did not need
Speaker 3: to sound like a commercial. I'm sorry that it did,
Speaker 3: but I tried to price it perfectly so that I
Speaker 3: could put in one order because Brother Belile has if
Speaker 3: you spend one hundred dollars yet free shipping.
Speaker 2: I had one hundred.
Speaker 3: Dollars gift card and I was like, I don't want
Speaker 3: to spend any money, how do I get this as
Speaker 3: close as possible two one hundred dollars? And so I
Speaker 3: got these three titles. I got Cheerleaders Wild Weekend that
Speaker 3: just came out from MVD Rewind. I got this eighty
Speaker 3: eight Film's release of Knife under the Throat, which normally
Speaker 3: I wouldn't have bought an eighty eight Films release, so
Speaker 3: because it was a gift card, I chose to do it.
Speaker 3: And then I got in the one that I've been
Speaker 3: wanting for the last couple of months, pretty much more
Speaker 3: than anything, the Nothing Is Sacred boonwel box from Radiance
Speaker 3: Films with those three that I think is one of
Speaker 3: the best pieces of art from the entire year, and
Speaker 3: my total was like one oh one ninety seven.
Speaker 2: It was the best outcome possible.
Speaker 5: That's dude. That's my favorite thing to do is to
Speaker 5: challenge myself with a with gift cards. It's like a
Speaker 5: it's like a sport. But that nothing is sacred box
Speaker 5: set currently in a cart right now with Atomic Movie Store.
Speaker 4: So I need somebody to convince me to uh I did.
Speaker 5: I did pay off a pay in for her today,
Speaker 5: so that that opens one up for me. That dude,
Speaker 5: radiance is so cool because there's so many times when
Speaker 5: I hop into like, uh, my wife got me the
Speaker 5: Die Gothic Box and that has been one of my
Speaker 5: favorite sets.
Speaker 2: Nice.
Speaker 5: Okay, so listen as a special feature.
Speaker 4: Okay, so it's probably just a ten edp.
Speaker 3: Uh. Yes, that Ratios Box is the best release ever.
Speaker 3: Face the movie says, do it, Chris.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I need to do it.
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna I'm just gonna do it.
Speaker 5: What is that?
Speaker 4: Eighty eight films?
Speaker 2: One? What was the U?
Speaker 3: It is Knife under the Throat. I can't show you
Speaker 3: the back because there's a lot of nipples.
Speaker 5: It sounds like my kind of movie.
Speaker 2: A lot of nipples. Yeah, it's supposed to be pretty decent.
Speaker 4: They I have.
Speaker 5: They have been sort of a favorite of mine. I
Speaker 5: just picked up Eyeball on four K. Loved that, and
Speaker 5: then I also have a preoder out for there.
Speaker 4: I believe it's.
Speaker 5: Called Crime and it comes out of the twenty first Yeah,
Speaker 5: I have it right here. It's a geez sorry, dead
Speaker 5: air love and Crime, which is I know absolutely nothing about.
Speaker 5: I just read this very very short description and sold.
Speaker 5: And I did the same thing with the The Guy
Speaker 5: a Gut trilogy or Gueta Gut trilogy. Yeah, which I've
Speaker 5: been diving into so much like Severin and a couple
Speaker 5: other labels. They're one that I've been loving to jump
Speaker 5: into blind.
Speaker 2: So good stuff.
Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, so those are pickups.
Speaker 2: How about recent watches?
Speaker 5: All right, let's get a letterboxed up here. So I
Speaker 5: watched something. You're gonna be shocked that I've never seen
Speaker 5: this before. My wife did, dude. I watched the Whiplash.
Speaker 2: Oh good movie.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, finally, goddamn anxiety attack. That was like I
Speaker 5: had heard that term get thrown around with uncut gems
Speaker 5: and I didn't have that experience with it. Whiplash the JK.
Speaker 5: Simmons character, and his performance is so good at it
Speaker 5: just kind of like has a way of calming you
Speaker 5: down and you feel like everything is okay, and in
Speaker 5: a blistering storm of a couple seconds, it's all not
Speaker 5: okay and my heart rate would explode. And I loved it,
Speaker 5: especially I don't want to spoil it, but especially in
Speaker 5: the end when that really comes to fruition. But the
Speaker 5: movie shots so well. I thought Miles Sawer was great.
Speaker 5: The drum stuff is great. I'm not a drummer, but
Speaker 5: I can appreciate it. It's my favorite drum movie next to
Speaker 5: Nick Cannon's drum line.
Speaker 3: Druml is fun, ridiculous movie, but it's fun for sure, which.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 5: I mean, I haven't seen Sound of Metal, so yeah,
Speaker 5: I'm dragging right now. I think I'm gonna get kicked off.
Speaker 5: It was a great movie though, I really really loved it.
Speaker 5: And then today I watched a couple so I watched
Speaker 5: Mausoleum from nineteen eighty three.
Speaker 2: Nice.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that was a fun one. I watched the Vinegar
Speaker 5: Syndrome release. That's a movie that has a ton of
Speaker 5: great ideas and a lot of great intentions, and it
Speaker 5: kind of feels like it's in the middle of a
Speaker 5: weird place for eighties horror, where you know it hasn't
Speaker 5: it Eighties horror at the time still hasn't figured out
Speaker 5: what it is. And it's supernatural and it's a slasher
Speaker 5: and it's sexy and it's doing all of this stuff
Speaker 5: and it doesn't put.
Speaker 4: It all together great.
Speaker 5: But John Carl Buckler his effects are incredible. So I
Speaker 5: love that one. And then I watched I finally watched
Speaker 5: the Arrow four K of the House by the Cemetery. Ah,
Speaker 5: fun movie. Yeah, I love that movie. I that's to
Speaker 5: me a central horror viewing. If you're going to if
Speaker 5: you're going to dive into history of horror and you
Speaker 5: want to watch out like what Shutter would call the Essentials.
Speaker 2: The whole Gates of Hell trilogy has to be on there.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it has to be.
Speaker 5: And how I actually think House by the Cemetery is
Speaker 5: very subdued for a full G movie. It doesn't go
Speaker 5: as far as I think what he's known for, but
Speaker 5: it shot incredibly well. It does lean into the HP
Speaker 5: Lovecraft stuff that he was kind of going for, not
Speaker 5: as much. I don't think it hit the mark fully
Speaker 5: It's it's sort of there, but the gore is a
Speaker 5: whole another level.
Speaker 6: Man.
Speaker 5: Every single one of his movies, the effects aren't even great.
Speaker 5: It's just the way they're filmed and the effect well, okay,
Speaker 5: I say they're not great, damn good. Okay, ah, you know,
Speaker 5: compared to there are some movies that have great effects
Speaker 5: that look like they look real. They look really great,
Speaker 5: you know what I mean. Okay, I lost myself here. Okay,
Speaker 5: they look real and they look really Sometimes with Fulci,
Speaker 5: it just kind of looks like it just looks like
Speaker 5: they melted some some chocolate and some candy and plastered
Speaker 5: it on somebody's foot.
Speaker 3: But it works, and with full t you can you
Speaker 3: can frequently see like the moment they switch out for
Speaker 3: the dummy, I mean, like City the Living Dead when
Speaker 3: she's barfing up the intestines, you can clearly see that.
Speaker 3: When they switch it out the drill scene from City
Speaker 3: to Living Dead, you can clearly see you. And either
Speaker 3: way they're still like iconic, really well made shots, especially
Speaker 3: for their time.
Speaker 4: Oh oh for sure. I mean you're comparing like it.
Speaker 5: If you want to look at effects in his movies,
Speaker 5: you're going up against like legends like Tom Savini, where
Speaker 5: it's almost flawless, you know what I mean, everything Savini
Speaker 5: did is flawless. So to look at a lot of
Speaker 5: Folci stuff and kind of say, like compare the effects,
Speaker 5: you really can't. But like, especially when the babysitter death,
Speaker 5: when the blade is cutting both sides of the neck,
Speaker 5: I'm watching that and I'm like, damn, how did they
Speaker 5: because you can clearly tell it's not a dummy, right,
Speaker 5: and I can't see I can't. I just couldn't figure
Speaker 5: out how they pulled it off, you know. So I
Speaker 5: just appreciate it so much. And I love like when
Speaker 5: he's when he's pulling the when they're dragging the bodies
Speaker 5: away and it's like ouey and gouey and the hair
Speaker 5: is all matted, and it just brings this this this
Speaker 5: really gross sense to it.
Speaker 4: So yeah, ful chy, wicked.
Speaker 5: Stuff, man, good good stuff.
Speaker 2: Any other recent watches you want to shout out?
Speaker 5: I thought I had one more. Let's see, I thought
Speaker 5: there was one that I had in mind that I
Speaker 5: forgot when I was kind of going on that. Oh yes,
Speaker 5: I did rewatch Francis Ford Coppola's Dracula rough past with
Speaker 5: that movie.
Speaker 4: I used to not like it.
Speaker 5: My wife loves it, so I watched it with her
Speaker 5: a couple of years ago. I enjoyed it a little
Speaker 5: bit more, still didn't fully get into it, but the
Speaker 5: power of the rewatch this time around, I fell in
Speaker 5: love with it, absolutely love all the little tricks, how
Speaker 5: everything was done practically. It made me think of in
Speaker 5: a different scale, but like what Nolan did with Oppenheimer,
Speaker 5: doing as practical effects as he could and kind of
Speaker 5: going back to the old school filmmaking techniques of pull off,
Speaker 5: especially all the stuff in the bomb launch.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it kind of made me think of that.
Speaker 5: But there's these little moments like when Keanu is waiting
Speaker 5: for Dracula's carriage to come, and when a carriage does come,
Speaker 5: the carriage driver reaches out his arm and it reaches
Speaker 5: out to normal length and then all of a sudden,
Speaker 5: it reaches out just far enough. That's kind of uncanny,
Speaker 5: and it grabs. And there's a great little documentary on
Speaker 5: the Blu Ray that talks about how they just had
Speaker 5: him on a crane which allowed on.
Speaker 4: The reach a little further.
Speaker 5: Yeah, And it's like these little things that I picked
Speaker 5: up on I'm like, this is so good, and like
Speaker 5: the storytelling, the pacing of the movie is crazy. I
Speaker 5: love all the different forms of Dracula. I love the
Speaker 5: production design, and I love that Copola's son did all
Speaker 5: the effects. It's just really cool. Like there's a moment
Speaker 5: when forgetting her name, I'm terrible with names. Who is
Speaker 5: Winona Riter's friend? I forget her name? Remember either there's
Speaker 5: a scene when she's coming down the stairs holding the
Speaker 5: baby and she's coming down to where the tomb is
Speaker 5: and as she's coming down, the candles light and I'm
Speaker 5: watching the movie and I'm thinking like, okay, yeah, there's
Speaker 5: a little thing in the lights to candles. It's cool. No,
Speaker 5: they shot it. They did it in reverse, right, Like
Speaker 5: it's such a little trick I didn't even think about.
Speaker 5: And it gives this interesting movement to it.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 3: I think it is Sadie Frost who has playing sad Yeah.
Speaker 3: I laughed because you said, who's why owned a writer's friend,
Speaker 3: And travisaid beetlejuice.
Speaker 5: That's twice, man, We gotta be careful, all right, Yeah, Rewatches,
Speaker 5: That's that's.
Speaker 2: Really been about it for Watches.
Speaker 3: For me, it's been kind of a light week, taking
Speaker 3: care of my kid and my mom and working on
Speaker 3: some other projects that I'm not allowed to say the
Speaker 3: titles of. I've been doing one major project for Deaf
Speaker 3: Crocodile that they've announced so I can mention it. Working
Speaker 3: on their release of the inflatable sex Doll of the Wasteland,
Speaker 3: which is going to blow some people's minds if you
Speaker 3: haven't seen it yet. The restoration looks incredible. It is
Speaker 3: a pinky violence film. It should be releasing in just
Speaker 3: a few months. I think it's like March or April
Speaker 3: that it's coming out. Did a couple things for the
Speaker 3: disc on that one. Working on one more thing, and
Speaker 3: then we should be done with our part on that one.
Speaker 3: To update for last week. Last week, I mentioned that
Speaker 3: my kids discovered the Night of the Museum films and
Speaker 3: they loved the first two, so we watched the third one.
Speaker 3: I had never seen the third one. It wasn't terrible,
Speaker 3: it wasn't a masterpiece or anything, but it's it's very
Speaker 3: much the exact same feeling of the other ones. And
Speaker 3: then we even watched the animated movie, which is kind
Speaker 3: of funny because it's a lot of the same jokes.
Speaker 3: But they had to recast Robin Williams obviously, and a
Speaker 3: lot of that. They just didn't want to show the
Speaker 3: same people on screen, so they did it animated and
Speaker 3: it wasn't bad. But yeah, it just came out like
Speaker 3: two and a half years ago. Oh okay, So now
Speaker 3: there's four Night at the Museum movies and one of
Speaker 3: them is animated. Uh, and then we uh, we've been
Speaker 3: because I've been recording more and working on stuff late,
Speaker 3: I have been not able to watch like a full
Speaker 3: movie after a lot of those. So my wife and
Speaker 3: I were watching Veep for the first time ever. Hilarious show.
Speaker 3: Julia Louis Dreyfus is incredible. Check it out if you
Speaker 3: never have. It's a it's a fun movie. Especially want
Speaker 3: you when you want to just look down on politics
Speaker 3: because everything is terrible.
Speaker 5: Yeah. Yeah, the political political stuff I struggle with because
Speaker 5: I feel like, I don't know, you watch horror because
Speaker 5: it's it's such a detachment from reality, and then you
Speaker 5: watch political and no matter how outlandish it is, it
Speaker 5: still connects to especially what's happening today, and I'm always
Speaker 5: like I was hitting too close to home.
Speaker 2: The The Veep.
Speaker 3: Is hilarious, because they just lampooned everything. Everybody is just
Speaker 3: an idiot basically, and nobody is off the shopping block.
Speaker 3: They're gonna make fun of everything, and you just better
Speaker 3: be ready because any character that you like on the show,
Speaker 3: they're gonna be made fun of at some point. But
Speaker 3: the big thing, you are no longer on YouTube. All
Speaker 3: of your stuff that was there is still there, but
Speaker 3: you're not making new stuff. Can we share with everybody
Speaker 3: why that is?
Speaker 5: I mean, we talked about this a couple of days ago,
Speaker 5: and it was YouTube was great because I needed an
Speaker 5: outlet to do this and I had finally, like grown
Speaker 5: up the nerve to do it. And I was very
Speaker 5: happy with what I was putting out for a long time,
Speaker 5: and slowly that just kind of started like dwindling and dwindling.
Speaker 5: But what was happening was I was in the middle
Speaker 5: of kind of like a personal change where I was
Speaker 5: more focused on learning about movies and watching movies, analyzing movies,
Speaker 5: and less and less I was interested in doing physical
Speaker 5: media pickups and all of that kind of stuff, right,
Speaker 5: And that's kind of like I'm conflicted in ways sometimes
Speaker 5: how how the YouTube community fluctuates and where it goes,
Speaker 5: and I'm never one to do anything for views.
Speaker 4: Never like on our podcast.
Speaker 5: We just did an episode on Spider Labyrinth, which is
Speaker 5: like the worst way to kick off a podcast about movies.
Speaker 5: We started with the worst possible movie we could have,
Speaker 5: So there's nothing I ever do with the purpose of likes.
Speaker 2: Or the record. Not a bad movie, just obscure.
Speaker 5: Yes, yeah, no, no, no, not a bad movie at all.
Speaker 5: But I mean, take a poll, how many people have
Speaker 5: even heard of Spider Labyrinth?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 4: You know what I mean?
Speaker 5: So there was nothing about that decision that had anything
Speaker 5: to do with let's start this show off with a
Speaker 5: bang and getting out of YouTube. Was it kind of
Speaker 5: felt good like it. It felt like I was making
Speaker 5: a change to grow into something new with the podcast,
Speaker 5: and ever since I've left, I'm able to support my
Speaker 5: friends on YouTube more than I was when I was
Speaker 5: actually on the platform, which is kind of a funny
Speaker 5: thing that happened, but.
Speaker 4: Also too gone.
Speaker 2: Is the.
Speaker 4: Is like the thinking.
Speaker 5: About, oh, what's a good video idea, or like, oh,
Speaker 5: what's a good thumb now? Or comparing myself to other
Speaker 5: which I know you shouldn't do that, but you do
Speaker 5: it anyway without even realizing you're doing it.
Speaker 4: So leaving it behind has been great.
Speaker 5: And what I'm moving into what I started, I think
Speaker 5: is even is one hundred times better than anything I
Speaker 5: ever did on YouTube. So yeah, I kept the videos
Speaker 5: up because maybe one day, maybe one day I'll inch
Speaker 5: my way back on.
Speaker 4: But we'll see, it depends.
Speaker 3: Brendan says there's fighting between certain YouTube physical media people
Speaker 3: right now. I'm so glad I'm not in any of
Speaker 3: this to even understand what is happening.
Speaker 5: That sounds awful, Yeah, it's I don't know, man, you
Speaker 5: have this weird thing anytime anything drops right, seven drops
Speaker 5: one four K. You have the people who who get
Speaker 5: their review copies and they rush to get their videos out,
Speaker 5: and that's great, people need that information. Then you have
Speaker 5: people who kind of have counter arguments and are like, hey,
Speaker 5: look this is not good because in one scene, in
Speaker 5: one frame, there's this weird little thing back here and
Speaker 5: it's targeting and it endlessly. I'm not even involved in it.
Speaker 5: I just have seen something and I'm like, Okay, this
Speaker 5: doesn't need to go this far. Can we just talk
Speaker 5: about movies please? This is not a competition, So I don't,
Speaker 5: you know, I just happen to get out right before
Speaker 5: that stuff really got crazy.
Speaker 2: So yeah, I mean a lot of people have asked
Speaker 2: me for stuff like that.
Speaker 3: But this is exactly why I don't do pick up videos.
Speaker 3: This is why I stay away from reviews. This is
Speaker 3: why I really only talked about things that I like,
Speaker 3: because if I say I don't like something, I don't
Speaker 3: need twenty seven people arguing in the comments about, well,
Speaker 3: you're wrong, it's bad because of X, or it's good
Speaker 3: because of X. Even now, like I'll say I like
Speaker 3: something and I get I still get comments every once
Speaker 3: in a while. That tells me I'm getting paid to
Speaker 3: say I like a release. It's like, if I was
Speaker 3: getting paid to say I liked releases, I'd be saying
Speaker 3: I like a hell of.
Speaker 2: A lot more releases than I said because I need
Speaker 2: the money.
Speaker 5: But like, why can't people like just just like what
Speaker 5: you like? If you think something looks great, then just
Speaker 5: right then then you know, let people be happy with that.
Speaker 5: I'm not. Somebody messaged me on Instagram the other day
Speaker 5: asking me if I got the new seven four K,
Speaker 5: and I was like no, and they were like, why
Speaker 5: didn't say it? Like I wasn't mean I was just like, no,
Speaker 5: I haven't grabbed it, and they're like, why not. I'm like,
Speaker 5: I'm perfectly good with my Blu Ray, Like, I don't.
Speaker 5: I don't feel I'm not a four K purist. It
Speaker 5: doesn't mean I don't believe in it, because because there
Speaker 5: are times when it, especially when you look at older movies,
Speaker 5: it looks really really good and it does enhance.
Speaker 4: But I don't, you know, I don't uh.
Speaker 5: I don't need to spend thirty three, thirty four, thirty
Speaker 5: five dollars on on a four K. I just don't
Speaker 5: need to, especially when you get into a conversation of
Speaker 5: like AI tune ups and you know all that other
Speaker 5: stuff like seven, there was all these rumors about AI stuff.
Speaker 5: Of course, James Cameron is a constant target for I
Speaker 5: don't even understand that.
Speaker 4: Stuff, dude, I don't even know.
Speaker 5: I can't tell you mostly anything about the restoration process.
Speaker 5: I can tell you a little bit about film and
Speaker 5: why certain film stocks look the way it does, and
Speaker 5: so I can talk about that. But like when I
Speaker 5: buy a four K, I don't look at I've I
Speaker 5: think twice in my life I've ever looked at the
Speaker 5: technical specs on the back of a four K case,
Speaker 5: and most of the time it's because I'm looking for
Speaker 5: the freaking year the movie came out, which they never
Speaker 5: list on there anyway, So you know, I just don't
Speaker 5: That's not what it's about for me, you know. And
Speaker 5: there's a space for that, Like people need to do that,
Speaker 5: you know, we need to have that information out there.
Speaker 5: I'm not I'm not saying that we can't do that, right,
Speaker 5: but you know, you have a thousand people giving the
Speaker 5: same review on an item just kind of turns into
Speaker 5: you know, yeah, like that AI most people? How do
Speaker 5: people spot that stuff? What are we zooming into? Like
Speaker 5: the background of things and a lot.
Speaker 2: Of stuff, guess.
Speaker 3: But the other big thing, what is the best way
Speaker 3: to say this, because like AI encompasses a lot more
Speaker 3: than people think. It's not just creating digital information out
Speaker 3: of information that isn't there a lot of times? What
Speaker 3: is technically AI is an algorithm to detect issues. Yeah,
Speaker 3: and that is technically AI being used on a restoration.
Speaker 3: But then restoration artists are going in and restoring the
Speaker 3: issues they get detected. It's not an AI restoration, which
Speaker 3: is very very different, which, funny enough, I think we
Speaker 3: get to.
Speaker 2: Talk about tonight on one of the releases.
Speaker 4: Oh controversy, I.
Speaker 3: Think, or maybe it was last week. Let me let
Speaker 3: me take a quick look because I don't remember it.
Speaker 3: Uh no, it is tonight. We will absolutely be calling it,
Speaker 3: be covering that tonight.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't, I don't know.
Speaker 5: I think AI, especially it's involved in so like you said,
Speaker 5: so much more than people think. Gone are the days
Speaker 5: of somebody standing over a film real and frame by
Speaker 5: frame circling imperfections to go into fix you know that
Speaker 5: stuff AI is using so much. If most people found
Speaker 5: out exactly how much it was involved in, there would
Speaker 5: be a major uproar, A major major uproar, you know
Speaker 5: what I mean?
Speaker 3: That is true, and uh, for some situations we will
Speaker 3: see it and we'll talk about that in a little
Speaker 3: bit tonight, I promise.
Speaker 2: All right. So, yeah, the podcast. Did you even see
Speaker 2: the name of the podcast? I think you should?
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, sorry, I didn't think we were there yet.
Speaker 5: So the podcast is called Beyond the Blood, a horror
Speaker 5: commentary podcast, and go ahead.
Speaker 3: Link link to subscribe is in the description. Please go subscribe.
Speaker 3: He's got an intro episode and then the first episode
Speaker 3: covering Spider Labyrinth that he just mentioned your guest was
Speaker 3: an idiot, but it was it was a good listen.
Speaker 4: Yeah, worst choice ever, Just kidding.
Speaker 5: So for people who don't know, because I've had to
Speaker 5: explain this a lot, which is okay, we are a
Speaker 5: We name it a horror commentary podcast because we're not
Speaker 5: just breaking down and dissecting movies on our own. We're
Speaker 5: actually using the audio commentary is supplied as a guide through.
Speaker 5: So the first episode that is a true movie with
Speaker 5: you for Spider Labyrinth, a little bit of a different
Speaker 5: episode than what's coming because we don't have anybody else
Speaker 5: who's been on a commentary track, so you know, like
Speaker 5: on the next episode we're doing My Bloody Valentine. We
Speaker 5: have so much to cover from what we learned in
Speaker 5: the audio commentary with the director that the flow is
Speaker 5: going to be totally different because I don't have the
Speaker 5: director there to talk about right the commentary.
Speaker 4: So the flow is going to be different.
Speaker 5: And it is a long form, so it's not a
Speaker 5: show where we're trying to get through the movie in
Speaker 5: forty five minutes to appease people who don't want to listen.
Speaker 5: Beyond that, it's a show designed for if you love
Speaker 5: the movie, then you're gonna love the deep dive we
Speaker 5: go into whether or not it takes an hour, hour
Speaker 5: and a half two hours. To me and to my
Speaker 5: co host, we're just hanging out with friends, and I
Speaker 5: can't I can't put a time moment on that, you know,
Speaker 5: I just can't do that. But but yeah, we have
Speaker 5: announced the next six months late My Bloody Valentine will
Speaker 5: be coming out beginning of February, and then we're also
Speaker 5: going to be putting out a bonus episode for the
Speaker 5: My Bloody Valentine three D remake and too yeah, really
Speaker 5: really good man. And I'm excited because with every commentary,
Speaker 5: not only do I learn more, but it just gets
Speaker 5: me excited to continue diving in. We're not even to
Speaker 5: the point we're not even doing commentaries with like historians
Speaker 5: or critics or anything like that yet. So once we
Speaker 5: get into that territory and we're a little bit more established,
Speaker 5: I think that's when the real fun is going to
Speaker 5: open up, because I think commentaries are the most underutilized
Speaker 5: bonus feature by audience. I would I would bet most
Speaker 5: people would watch a make up documentary or an audio commentary,
Speaker 5: and I don't want that to die. I want those
Speaker 5: to remain, especially now when you can record it on Skype.
Speaker 3: Dustin is asking is it exclusive to Spotify at the
Speaker 3: moment or is it on every carrier?
Speaker 5: So at the moment, I'm having in trouble getting it
Speaker 5: on I'm having a problem getting.
Speaker 4: It on Apple.
Speaker 5: My RSS feed is not working, like not doing it properly.
Speaker 5: I'm hoping to have both episodes on Apple by beginning
Speaker 5: of next week at the latest.
Speaker 2: Nice nice, nice nice.
Speaker 3: All right, So, because of the new podcast that Chris
Speaker 3: has started tonight, after our conversation on announcements and what's
Speaker 3: coming out next week and all that fun stuff, we're
Speaker 3: gonna be picking five horror movie commentaries or five horror
Speaker 3: movies that we would love to do a commentary for
Speaker 3: just because it sounds incredible, and discussing those. So, yeah,
Speaker 3: stay tuned after the announcements if you want to hear
Speaker 3: that discussion. I want to hear what everybody else thinks
Speaker 3: about that, because it is a bit of an intimidating
Speaker 3: exercise to think of, because I know a lot of
Speaker 3: people immediately go oh, like Halloween. Yeah, I'd love to
Speaker 3: do a commentary for Halloween. It's been done like eleven times,
Speaker 3: and I have nothing I could add that honestly sounds
Speaker 3: terrifying to do a commentary for Halloween.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's like if people weren't listening to the infamous
Speaker 5: John Carpenter Jamie Lee Curtis commentary for the first Halloween
Speaker 5: that you're definitely not listening to my dumbass to a
Speaker 5: commentary for Halloween, that's for sure.
Speaker 2: I don't want to listen to John Carpenter. Ooh, Chris
Speaker 2: Is on this one.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, yeah that guy.
Speaker 2: Wow, film guy. Yeah, let's listen to that. All right.
Speaker 2: Let's get to.
Speaker 3: Our announcements this week, and we are starting with a
Speaker 3: drug field rage story.
Speaker 2: Crack House.
Speaker 3: This got announced from Vinegar Cinerma as part of their
Speaker 3: VSA line. This is from nineteen eighty nine from the
Speaker 3: same director of Deaf Spa Michael Fisher, starring Richard Brountree,
Speaker 3: Jim Brown, Greg Thompson. This is scanner restored in two
Speaker 3: K from the thirty five millimeter Interpositive. We got an
Speaker 3: interview with the cinematographer on here, interview with the actor
Speaker 3: Greg Thompson, and then a four minute locations video about
Speaker 3: crack House. Yeah, this is the VSA slipcover and that
Speaker 3: is crackouse.
Speaker 5: That artwork on the back with the heads on top
Speaker 5: of the crackpipe s is crazy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's pretty wild.
Speaker 5: That's wild. I know nothing about this movie, but I
Speaker 5: will say, as a loose vinegar syndrome fan, I actually
Speaker 5: like the VSA line over the VSU line. I think
Speaker 5: that's just a title assortment.
Speaker 2: So there's also way more VSA. So that's that is easy.
Speaker 4: You're right, You're right, I think I have more.
Speaker 3: So next one up is Hard eight, coming on four
Speaker 3: K from Keno here soon. This is, of course, the
Speaker 3: wonderful Paul Thomas Anderson film, with Philip Baker Hall in
Speaker 3: one of his rare starring roles, also with John c Riley,
Speaker 3: Gwyneth Paltrow, Samuel Jackson, Philip Seymour Hoffman.
Speaker 2: Amazing movie. Have you seen this one?
Speaker 5: I haven't, but that cast is crazy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, this movie's incredible.
Speaker 3: Came out on Blu ray from Imprint Films for the
Speaker 3: first time, gosh, like eighteen months or two years ago
Speaker 3: something like that. This movie frickin' rules. However, it does
Speaker 3: sort of prove that a lot of the stuff that
Speaker 3: comes to Imprint that a lot of us are like, yeah,
Speaker 3: we gotta buy this, and shit, it's gonna be like
Speaker 3: thirty five dollars. But I finally get this on Blu Ray.
Speaker 3: If you hang out a little bit, it'll probably come
Speaker 3: out on Keino about a year a year and a
Speaker 3: half later, and you can either get the same Blu
Speaker 3: ray or a four K even. Yeah, this movie is
Speaker 3: stupendous for anybody who's not seen this.
Speaker 5: I would love to see the workload of Quino Lber
Speaker 5: on a daily basis, Like I just want to get
Speaker 5: a look at their calendar, like their production calendar. It's
Speaker 5: insane how much they're working on and how much they're
Speaker 5: pumping out on a daily basis.
Speaker 3: Can you imagine that, like every Friday they probably have
Speaker 3: like seventeen titles? Do?
Speaker 5: Yeah? Like I would just lose, Like I don't. I
Speaker 5: mean to have a complete Keino Lurber collection, it would.
Speaker 2: Be would be a museum.
Speaker 5: Are people going for that? Is there anybody out there
Speaker 5: going for a complete Kenot collection? Because my hat's.
Speaker 2: Off to you.
Speaker 5: I can't even keep up. There's stuff that comes out
Speaker 5: on Keno that I like. When a announ's blown away
Speaker 5: they announced they were working on it and then to release.
Speaker 5: I totally forgot about it until I walked into a
Speaker 5: Barnes and Noble and I found it, and I was like,
Speaker 5: when the hell did Keno Pump missed out?
Speaker 2: Yeah, that happens often.
Speaker 3: Man, great movie though, Philip Baker Hall rest in Peace,
Speaker 3: Philip seymer Hoffman rest in Peace.
Speaker 2: Both of them incredible.
Speaker 3: Not everything from Keno is amazing, though they're also putting
Speaker 3: out repo men from twenty ten on four K. This
Speaker 3: is the Forest Whitaker and Jude Law film. Also as
Speaker 3: Leev Schreiber in this and Riza. I don't think I
Speaker 3: ever finished this movie.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I watched this not too long ago, and it was
Speaker 5: h This is part of the era where everything was
Speaker 5: way too long, Like people complain about the length of
Speaker 5: movies now, and I don't think they went through this
Speaker 5: time in like eight to like twenty eleven, when this
Speaker 5: movie could have been ninety minutes it could have been great.
Speaker 5: And no, the movie is like two hours long for
Speaker 5: some reason, and it drags hard, you know. So yeah, yeah,
Speaker 5: as Paul said, it's it's definitely better in the second half,
Speaker 5: but I would just watch the original.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Street Trash is now available from Vinegar cinromas part
Speaker 3: of their VSP line. This is the twenty twenty four
Speaker 3: Street Trash, not the original eighty Street Trash. This is
Speaker 3: done by Ryan Krueger, who directed Fried Berry just a
Speaker 3: couple of years ago. This is a shot on thirty
Speaker 3: five millimeter. It was finished in four K, and then
Speaker 3: they downscaled it to put it out on Blu Ray.
Speaker 2: Why not?
Speaker 3: Sure they absolutely could have put this out on four
Speaker 3: K the sad part in two or three years. They
Speaker 3: very well could put this out on four K. Be like,
Speaker 3: look what we upgraded. You can get the New Street
Speaker 3: Trash on four K.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: This movie has a commentary with Ryan Krueger and some
Speaker 3: of the actors and those involved. We got an interview
Speaker 3: with the screenwriter from the original Street Trash and then
Speaker 3: the executive producer from the New Street Trash. The producer,
Speaker 3: Justin Martel, talks about reimagining the cult classic, some behind
Speaker 3: the scenes featurettes, street Trash, music video, deleted scenes, all
Speaker 3: that other stuff. All that to say, have you seen
Speaker 3: this new version of Street Trash yet?
Speaker 2: So?
Speaker 5: I haven't, and I'm excited too. I did not buy this.
Speaker 5: I thought it was I thought it was really weird
Speaker 5: that it came out on Blu Ray, even though there.
Speaker 4: Could be at four K. Sorry, like pause. I had
Speaker 4: a little bit of a brain thing there.
Speaker 5: I have a giant attachment to the original Street Trash,
Speaker 5: and the moment they announced is I was like, Okay,
Speaker 5: if anybody's gonna do it, it's Ryan Krueger. And then
Speaker 5: I kind of saw them changing the location, like to
Speaker 5: South Africa instead of New York and changing a lot
Speaker 5: of stuff, and I was like, Okay, I'm gonna be
Speaker 5: open minded. And the trailers sold me. This did not
Speaker 5: because I don't know. I don't know why just do
Speaker 5: a blueberry. Like I said, I'm not a four K purist,
Speaker 5: but thirty five millimeter in four K would look absolutely incredible.
Speaker 5: And I just kind of feel under sold by this
Speaker 5: a little bit.
Speaker 2: I get that totally.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I will say I did get to watch this,
Speaker 3: and this movie is hot freakin' garbage. I would never
Speaker 3: pay more than negative five dollars for this, genuinely.
Speaker 2: I think to own this they would have to pay me.
Speaker 3: I think this was the second worst film of twenty
Speaker 3: twenty four by a long shot.
Speaker 2: The practical effects are very good, but that's it.
Speaker 3: It's like they understood that they could do good practical
Speaker 3: effects and said, well, what can we do to sell them,
Speaker 3: Let's let's put the street trash name on it. Unfortunately,
Speaker 3: it's not like the original. It's not a good story.
Speaker 3: It's half hacked, like it's not even like half asked acted.
Speaker 2: It's just not good.
Speaker 4: So I I heard that.
Speaker 5: Okay, my brother in law told me how bad this
Speaker 5: movie was, and I honestly that was on my head
Speaker 5: when we yeah, this is this is actual, actual trash.
Speaker 5: I haven't seen it, but I heard this was bad,
Speaker 5: and I didn't know how honest we were being when
Speaker 5: we were going through these announcements. Okay, I never like, okay,
Speaker 5: all right, if we're gonna go one hundred percent.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 5: The the the original being here's a bunch of hoboes
Speaker 5: in New York that drink a bad batch of the tenafly.
Speaker 2: Pit Vier.
Speaker 5: And it it turns, you know, they start melting in
Speaker 5: the fact that there is a man's dick who gets
Speaker 5: lopped off and they play catch with it, like you
Speaker 5: gad a junk yard. You can't leave yeah, in a
Speaker 5: junk yard. Every opportunity to do a remake was there,
Speaker 5: especially with the advancement and practical effects, and it did
Speaker 5: not have to turn into the whatever the salen was
Speaker 5: called from Reanimator in a Lab. And I don't know
Speaker 5: what South Africa has to do with any of this,
Speaker 5: but it just not like way over complicated it.
Speaker 4: And I haven't even seen the movie.
Speaker 3: So again, the practical effects are genuinely stupendous. Ryan Krueger
Speaker 3: is great at that. However, you should probably not be
Speaker 3: making movies. Just be a special effects creator. That's totally fine.
Speaker 3: Team up with somebody who can write and direct good
Speaker 3: movies and you would be an incredible team. Completely support that.
Speaker 5: Am I wrong in thinking that Ryan Krueger is sort
Speaker 5: of like our modern dayson Eisner with Hobo with a
Speaker 5: Shotgun and then Kids Versus Aliens were like, there was
Speaker 5: a lot of cool ideas there, but it just doesn't
Speaker 5: really you know.
Speaker 2: I kind of love Hobo with the shotgun, like.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I kind of do. I kind of do too,
Speaker 5: and Kids Versus Aliens wasn't anywhere near kind of what
Speaker 5: I thought I was expecting.
Speaker 4: I was just curious, there's something keen to mine? I
Speaker 4: had to ask.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's it's impossible.
Speaker 3: I mean, you could look at it too as Savini,
Speaker 3: who didn't direct a lot and who has realized, hey,
Speaker 3: maybe I should just do effects.
Speaker 5: Yeah, could be. I mean, I will say, though, good good,
Speaker 5: uh good call vinegar syndrome on the commentary. I appreciate
Speaker 5: the effort there.
Speaker 3: Yeah, at least they're still putting extras. Yeah, and that
Speaker 3: that that looks cool? Okay that that like that, that's
Speaker 3: cool packaging.
Speaker 2: Yeah, completely agree.
Speaker 5: We'll say that'll look good next to the bare bones
Speaker 5: Synaps release.
Speaker 3: Of the original, although they are working on a four
Speaker 3: K so hopefully we'll see that before twenty twenty eight.
Speaker 3: All Right, go into the next one. Here's a good
Speaker 3: movie from Keno. Keno is releasing Inside Man on four
Speaker 3: K here hopefully soon. This is the two thousand and
Speaker 3: six really great movie starring Denzel and Clive O and
Speaker 3: Jodi Foster, Christopher Plumber, Willem Dafoe. She would tell Edgy
Speaker 3: of four I believe how you say his last name.
Speaker 3: But of course it's a Spike Lee film and this
Speaker 3: is fantastic. I haven't seen this a long time. Can't
Speaker 3: wait to see this four K.
Speaker 5: I will say this movie is the reason why if
Speaker 5: I'm sitting in like a waiting room too long, or
Speaker 5: I'm sitting anywhere for too long. I wonder, I wonder
Speaker 5: if I could replicate that wall and live behind it
Speaker 5: for a little while.
Speaker 4: And I do it all the time.
Speaker 5: It's just my brain just will click the inside Man
Speaker 5: every now and again.
Speaker 2: Smart. Smart.
Speaker 3: Then they made a lot of people upset this week
Speaker 3: by announcing The Snowman from twenty seventeen coming on four K.
Speaker 3: This is the same director that did Let the Right
Speaker 3: One In and Tinker Taylor, Soldier Spy and some other stuff.
Speaker 3: This supposedly was not even fully completed. I think I
Speaker 3: never got to see this, but that's that's the story
Speaker 3: that I've heard.
Speaker 2: Dude.
Speaker 5: That first comment is crazy that they go back and
Speaker 5: film they forgotten the first time.
Speaker 4: Oh man, no, I've never seen this.
Speaker 5: I just heard that it was incomplete, Like that's all
Speaker 5: I heard, so I never gave it another Oh.
Speaker 3: Dustin says it's fantastic and to fight him.
Speaker 5: And to fight him.
Speaker 2: I love that.
Speaker 3: Ben goes from Keno bringing the heat to Keno bringing
Speaker 3: the Oh jeez.
Speaker 5: This is this is a typical Keno announcement reaction. I
Speaker 5: think there are so.
Speaker 3: Many keynot announcements tonight too. It's crazy. There's so much
Speaker 3: to cover from them.
Speaker 5: You know. Sometimes I think they just get to hand
Speaker 5: it a batch and they're like, put all.
Speaker 4: These out, you know what I mean.
Speaker 5: That's it's like, Hey, part of the deal is you're
Speaker 5: gonna put out this, and you're gonna put out this
Speaker 5: piece of garbage, and you're gonna put out this piece
Speaker 5: of cinema history.
Speaker 3: To be fair, if I got told I could have
Speaker 3: you know, I'm owning a label, and I get told
Speaker 3: I can do the definitive release of The Inside Man
Speaker 3: or Inside Man, but also.
Speaker 2: You have to release the Snowman. Yeah, I mean yeah,
Speaker 2: I'm probably gonna release them both because it's fucking Inside Man.
Speaker 5: Yeah exactly. And you're gonna say the sales of Inside
Speaker 5: Man alone are gonna make up for you know, the Snowman. Anyway,
Speaker 5: the lack of sales or this movie could have I
Speaker 5: haven't seen it. It could have our resurgence. We are.
Speaker 5: It is very it is very popular to revisit what
Speaker 5: we once claimed as bad movies. And who knows.
Speaker 3: Colton says, I hear The Snowman was worse than trash.
Speaker 3: It was snow trash and then of course the character
Speaker 3: in this movie, his name is legitimately Hairy Hole.
Speaker 5: Harry Hole.
Speaker 2: You're allowed to laugh.
Speaker 4: I heard that, Harry Hole.
Speaker 5: Yeah, all right, yeah, that's that's a plot of the
Speaker 5: Oh my god, I'm not gonna get into it. Rebecca
Speaker 5: Ferguson is in this though. She val Kilmer clothes Man
Speaker 5: and it was shocked. Oh my god. Okay, look like,
Speaker 5: look at all the talent here. How does this Marco
Speaker 5: Beltromi on the score? You can you can tell though
Speaker 5: that the caption here is like trying to sell you
Speaker 5: if you've never seen this before, to like, look at
Speaker 5: the talent.
Speaker 2: Right, So, all right, that is the Snowman.
Speaker 3: Then Vinegar Syndrome is part of their VSL line released
Speaker 3: the Terror Nots from nineteen sixty seven. This is an
Speaker 3: amicus film. Here is the back of the slip. This
Speaker 3: is directed by Montgomery Tulley. It's a newly scanned restored
Speaker 3: in four K. From the OCN commentary with author and
Speaker 3: film a Story and Brian Hannon. There's an interview with
Speaker 3: the writer and film critic Kim Newman on this and
Speaker 3: then some archival interviews. I have heard that this is
Speaker 3: a very good movie one that I definitely want to
Speaker 3: pick up eventually. I love the way this cover looks,
Speaker 3: and I also really liked the stuff from Amiicus, so
Speaker 3: I will likely be checking this out eventually.
Speaker 4: Yeah, this is cool.
Speaker 5: This. I wasn't expecting this during during this week, I
Speaker 5: didn't really have any like anticipations of what they were
Speaker 5: going to put out. But this was not This was
Speaker 5: as far away then I said, it was not heard. No,
Speaker 5: it wasn't at all. And that cover is incredible alone,
Speaker 5: Like I this this is a blind by for me.
Speaker 5: One hundred percent sold just on the RT alone. I
Speaker 5: love the back too, Yeah, that's that's incredible. And this
Speaker 5: era too, This is kind of like sixty seventies, these
Speaker 5: b sci fi movies is a big blank space for
Speaker 5: me that I want to get into.
Speaker 4: And I think that this is a good a good
Speaker 4: entry point, you know.
Speaker 2: Looks like it to me.
Speaker 3: Moving right along, Arrow launched there fifty percent off sale
Speaker 3: at Barnes and Noble. This will likely end on February second.
Speaker 3: I've not been able to confirm that yet, But if
Speaker 3: you can't shop at Barnes and Noble, for example, if
Speaker 3: you are international or something like that, Amazon is price
Speaker 3: masking pretty much everything that's on sale at Barnes and Noble.
Speaker 3: The other big thing keep in mind at Barnes and Noble,
Speaker 3: if stuff goes up for sale and it releases during
Speaker 3: the sale period, it's already fifty percent off, so you
Speaker 3: can pre order it at fifty percent off. So there's
Speaker 3: some good titles coming out this month, like in Glorious
Speaker 3: Pastards just released, there's a couple others check those or
Speaker 3: maybe in Glorio's Pastards is next week.
Speaker 4: It is the twenty first I think it is next Tuesday.
Speaker 2: We're gonna be talking about that one, so.
Speaker 5: Okay, And it's twenty five dollars right now on Barnes
Speaker 5: and Noble, so I would jump on.
Speaker 3: It, okay, Yeah, yeh damn good stuff if you are
Speaker 3: into Arrow, this is basically as good as the price gets,
Speaker 3: especially for limited edition stuff. Shatscop Volume three is one
Speaker 3: hundred dollars right now, which is pretty decent. I know
Speaker 3: there was a pricing error on the Arrow website this
Speaker 3: week and a lot of people got stuff much cheaper,
Speaker 3: but obviously you can't expect that, so so keep in mind,
Speaker 3: these are about as good as you're gonna get.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I did order the I'm gonna mess up his
Speaker 5: last name, the Nico mess master Rock. Yeah Mass, I
Speaker 5: was gonna say, ahistoricis but master Ck.
Speaker 2: I did order that.
Speaker 5: That was fifty bucks, and I think that was a
Speaker 5: box set that kind of went under the radar. But
Speaker 5: thanks to the Aero player, I was able to watch
Speaker 5: a couple of the movies and I fell in love
Speaker 5: with them in a weird way.
Speaker 2: Ye so funny.
Speaker 4: Yeah, dude, fifty.
Speaker 5: Bucks for that box set is is a great, great price,
Speaker 5: So I'm happy I grab that.
Speaker 4: Just waiting for that to come in nice.
Speaker 3: Moving to our next Hey, the newest issue of the
Speaker 3: Physical Media Advocate just release and when it for sale.
Speaker 3: We we revealed this cover last week, but Amazon rejected
Speaker 3: me multiple times. Unfortunately, finally got it through and this
Speaker 3: is now shipping. Has been available for three or four
Speaker 3: days now. I'm doing pretty well, but not as good
Speaker 3: as normal. I know a lot of people are kind
Speaker 3: of sold out right now. In all the sales. Keep
Speaker 3: in mind, this is a really good thing to purchase.
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna like hard sell myself necessarily, but there
Speaker 3: are some incredible, incredible pieces in this issue. The finale,
Speaker 3: I guess you could call it of the the out
Speaker 3: of print that we've called the Brian Dimbinski run on
Speaker 3: Hong Kong and Finances in Hong Kong, the end of
Speaker 3: Cat three.
Speaker 2: It's an incredible article.
Speaker 3: We have an exclusive interview here with the Eduardo Margheriti
Speaker 3: over it'll that's like fourteen pages, not kidding. It is
Speaker 3: a very long interview and it's incredible. You get details
Speaker 3: like you've never heard before. We have a brand new
Speaker 3: segment where Adam Lundy's covering the ratings films releases.
Speaker 2: Check it out ten bucks on Amazon for the digital.
Speaker 3: This one's eleven because it's a little longer than normal,
Speaker 3: so it costs more to print. But I'm making no
Speaker 3: money on this. I just do this to share with everybody.
Speaker 3: Please check it out. It is great and to me,
Speaker 3: this is the best cover we've had yet. I truly
Speaker 3: love this cover. I love the substance, and I think
Speaker 3: Planetmando knocked this one out of the park.
Speaker 2: So make sure you go follow him.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a good mind. Should be here the next
Speaker 4: couple of days.
Speaker 5: Love that. We're still talking about Blair witche project in
Speaker 5: twenty twenty five. Love That and Cat three is definitely
Speaker 5: something I've been watching more movies of so interesting to
Speaker 5: read that. And yeah, I'm excited for this one to
Speaker 5: come in. Matt, I love that cover. That's that's sweet.
Speaker 5: Amazon rejected you a couple of times. Do you do
Speaker 5: you do you get to put up a counter argument
Speaker 5: and say.
Speaker 3: Like, no, no, I'm gonna cut you off right there. No,
Speaker 3: just so dumb they the way they deny you. Sometimes
Speaker 3: they don't even tell you where the error is. They'll
Speaker 3: just be like, there's a word too close to the margin,
Speaker 3: good luck, And I'm like, it's fifty four pages long,
Speaker 3: which word? Tell me and I'll fix it.
Speaker 5: I remember you saying that before you released the compendium.
Speaker 5: I think of issues like one through three, and you
Speaker 5: said that you the words were too close to the barcode,
Speaker 5: which is crazy.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I had to set multiple templates to be able
Speaker 3: to print this one. But it's a It's out there
Speaker 3: and I'm glad people finally be able to see it
Speaker 3: that The Blair Witch Project article is incredible. Forgot to
Speaker 3: mention by name, but Kevin Tutor, who's been on Reconnected
Speaker 3: a couple of time from the Almost Major podcast. He
Speaker 3: is probably the world's biggest Blaurwitch Project fan and as
Speaker 3: soon as the second side thing got in his hand,
Speaker 3: he wanted.
Speaker 2: To just wax poetic on it. And it's a really
Speaker 2: fun article. So yeah, check it out.
Speaker 3: And there's Brian, the guy that did the Cat three article.
Speaker 3: He says, it took me a long time to do.
Speaker 3: That is selling himself short. This guy is like checking
Speaker 3: educational journals to verify information, having Columbia professors review his
Speaker 3: work to make sure that it makes sense. Literally, Brian
Speaker 3: is doing incredible work. Can't wait for you to hear
Speaker 3: what he's doing next, because it is gonna be incredible.
Speaker 5: I will say I'm not a writer, but I have
Speaker 5: been working for months on an article to send you
Speaker 5: for Physical Media Advocate months and I feel like I've
Speaker 5: gotten nowhere. This shit research and all that. No joke,
Speaker 5: no joke. Do not ever, anybody out there, don't ever
Speaker 5: undermine the research because right right, it's incredible the amount
Speaker 5: that goes into it.
Speaker 3: Plan nine says, what's the best way to view the
Speaker 3: digital version? This is going to sound like advertising something else,
Speaker 3: but it's not. If you join the Patreon at the
Speaker 3: twelve dollars tier, you get the digital version every time
Speaker 3: it comes out as part of the Patreon so it
Speaker 3: just it comes to you in a PDF. You can
Speaker 3: download it and save it forever. And a lot of
Speaker 3: people don't understand the digital version. All of the pictures
Speaker 3: and like all of the people that are contributing and
Speaker 3: all of that, all of those things are hyperlinked. So
Speaker 3: if you get the digital version and the physical version,
Speaker 3: you kind of have a reason to get both. So,
Speaker 3: like on on the out of print that that Brian
Speaker 3: wrote about the Hong Kong thing, if he references a film,
Speaker 3: it'll take you to the letterbox page for the film
Speaker 3: or Wikipedia, or if it's a director, it'll take you
Speaker 3: to something on them.
Speaker 2: If it's a release, it'll take you to buy the release.
Speaker 3: It takes a hell of a lot of work to
Speaker 3: do all that, but hope people appreciate that. And yeah,
Speaker 3: the digital version on Amazon, you get the PDF as well.
Speaker 3: You can get it's not just a kindle. You can
Speaker 3: just download the PDF and you'll be fine that way.
Speaker 2: Check it out.
Speaker 3: Oh this is a weird cover to follow that up with,
Speaker 3: Oh Jesus Christ. Vinegar Syndrome also announced Child's Play coming
Speaker 3: to the Cinematograph Line. Not that Child's Play oh no,
Speaker 3: not that child's play either. This is the nineteen seventy
Speaker 3: two Sidney Lamette child's play. Yes, this is a cover
Speaker 3: of Jesus Christ literally on the cover. This is some
Speaker 3: of the pictures of the media book. This has Bo
Speaker 3: Bridges in it, James Mason. Robert Preston says. A new
Speaker 3: audio commentary by Adrian Martin on this who is pretty great.
Speaker 3: We had a new visual essay by Daniel Kramer about
Speaker 3: Sidney Lamett, interview with the production designer on this new
Speaker 3: documentary short by Daniel Griffith, and then a full forty
Speaker 3: two minute interview that was on Charlie Rose with Sidney
Speaker 3: Lamett back in two thousand and six.
Speaker 2: I love that that's on here.
Speaker 3: There's an hour long documentary chronicling the first half of
Speaker 3: lu Met's career. New text essays by Mitchell Bauprey from
Speaker 3: Letterboxed and culture writers Patrick Doll and Madeline Sutton.
Speaker 5: Hmm, yeah this this I'm not gonna say the name,
Speaker 5: this label, the sub label Cinematograph.
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 5: Ooh. Win for me is so great because every single
Speaker 5: title they put out has been a brand new discovery
Speaker 5: for me, and I love that.
Speaker 3: Nice yeah, and like like Phillip says, the imprint box
Speaker 3: for the Sydney Lamett Box Child's Play was in there.
Speaker 3: I think that was the first time it was released
Speaker 3: on Blue actually, so now this is the US counterpart
Speaker 3: to that release.
Speaker 5: But yeah, that's a crazy cover. It is a crazy cover,
Speaker 5: and that the fact that it's framed.
Speaker 2: Just in case.
Speaker 3: Next up the Quiet Ones from twenty twenty four getting
Speaker 3: a blu ray from Magnolia on May twentieth, and I
Speaker 3: hear this is actually a rather.
Speaker 2: Good movie, this says.
Speaker 3: In two thousand and eight, a group of men from
Speaker 3: Denmark and across Europe pull off the biggest heist of
Speaker 3: all time on Danish soil. Casper, a boxer with few
Speaker 3: chances left in life, is offered the opportunity to plan
Speaker 3: the robbery by its foreign initiators. At the risk of
Speaker 3: losing everything that matters to him. He takes on the
Speaker 3: challenge in a bid to break all records and secure
Speaker 3: his place in the history books.
Speaker 5: Was this in any way written error directed by Keller Sheridan?
Speaker 2: It was not.
Speaker 5: Okay, that's all I need to know.
Speaker 2: Not even a little bit.
Speaker 3: I know a lot of people that like this star Trek.
Speaker 3: Lower Decks is putting out a complete series steel book
Speaker 3: set on March twenty fifth, coming from Paramount. This will
Speaker 3: be a ten disc collection in two different steel books
Speaker 3: will also have almost five hours of special features, including commentaries,
Speaker 3: lower dictionaries, featurettes, and more. You can pre order that now,
Speaker 3: but if you've been picking them up season by season
Speaker 3: and you don't want the full series, you can just
Speaker 3: buy the final season on the same day as well
Speaker 3: on Blu Ray.
Speaker 5: That's cool. I don't I've never seen it, but it's
Speaker 5: cool to see Paramount putting some effort into and it's
Speaker 5: some cool packaging.
Speaker 3: I agree, And TV on Blue is always a good thing. Yes,
Speaker 3: Oh man, here we go May thirteenth. Maybe the date
Speaker 3: is supposedly subject to change. MVD Rewind is releasing The
Speaker 3: Bikini car Wash Company from nineteen ninety two as well
Speaker 3: as The Bikini car Wash Company Two from nineteen ninety three.
Speaker 3: This is coming as a double feature, and this is
Speaker 3: where people are going to come out and ring all
Speaker 3: of their warning bells because listen to this exact quote
Speaker 3: from MVD. The Bikini car Wash Company and The Bikini
Speaker 3: car Wash Company Two were originally shot and produced on
Speaker 3: standard definition videotape to present these films in the best
Speaker 3: possible quality. Both feature films have been upconverted, remastered, and
Speaker 3: upgraded from their original Standard definition for ADP resolution to
Speaker 3: high definition ten ADP resolution using the latest advanced up
Speaker 3: conversion AI models, and presented in their one point three
Speaker 3: three to one original aspect ratios in order to provide
Speaker 3: the best possible viewing experience. End quote. Now, Yes, so
Speaker 3: they are using AI to up convert these. A couple
Speaker 3: things here They say these were shot on video. If
Speaker 3: I remember right, I believe both of these were shot
Speaker 3: on film, not on video.
Speaker 2: The other problem, if.
Speaker 3: You're just going to come out and flat out admit
Speaker 3: that you're using to A, you're using AI to up
Speaker 3: convert these, you should do that when you haven't put
Speaker 3: out something like Hail Caesar, which looks like a blurry
Speaker 3: mess because of the AI restoration that you did on it.
Speaker 3: I personally think this is going to be a.
Speaker 2: Complete failure of a release from MVD. Rewind.
Speaker 3: I like Eric, he's a nice guy. I wish there
Speaker 3: was a little more due diligence done on these. Look
Speaker 3: at that even Brian is saying in the chat these
Speaker 3: were shot on film. The hard part here is he
Speaker 3: was just given masters. Whoever he acquired these from, he
Speaker 3: was given masters, and the first one, from what he
Speaker 3: can see based on the runtime, it is it's cut.
Speaker 3: It's not even the original like the full length version
Speaker 3: of the film. It is a cut version. The sequel
Speaker 3: is supposedly uncut from what he's saying. But to just
Speaker 3: come out and say that, it feels I don't know, Like,
Speaker 3: obviously I want these films out there, and honestly, I
Speaker 3: feel like you would have done better just putting them
Speaker 3: as SD files on Blu Ray.
Speaker 2: If that's the best that you could get.
Speaker 3: We don't need to fill in information with AI to
Speaker 3: up convert to ten ADP, because all that is doing
Speaker 3: is faking the difference between four eighty two ten ADP.
Speaker 5: Yeah. I appreciate coming out right up front and being
Speaker 5: honest and telling people. I guess, I guess, I don't,
Speaker 5: I don't know. It's weird because happy to have these
Speaker 5: movies out. I have no idea what they are. I'm
Speaker 5: just happy to have any movie out. I've never seen these,
Speaker 5: never even heard of them. Unfortunately, they look great, just
Speaker 5: based on the cover.
Speaker 2: Looking Kati's Yeah, I get it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I love I love car washes.
Speaker 5: I love having a clean cars. So I guess it
Speaker 5: really comes down to it's gonna come down to the
Speaker 5: final product, because if people are happy to have this
Speaker 5: and the AI doesn't turn it into a mess like
Speaker 5: the Hell Caesar situation, right then I guess it's it's
Speaker 5: a it's an okay kind of like one off to
Speaker 5: have these.
Speaker 4: My thing is.
Speaker 5: It's not.
Speaker 4: I would much rather just have these in.
Speaker 5: Whatever condition you can give them to me without the AI,
Speaker 5: right like if you had done pick two other comedies
Speaker 5: of this time, raunchy comedies in this in this style
Speaker 5: that you can upscale without AI and keep the costs low,
Speaker 5: and then put these on as additional with a little note, Hey,
Speaker 5: these are whatever condition they were in. I would have
Speaker 5: been better. I would have been happier with that. But
Speaker 5: that's just me in my stance.
Speaker 3: H Dude, mcmhon says, isn't that what Blu ray players
Speaker 3: do anyway when you play a DVD in them? I mean, honestly,
Speaker 3: kind of yeah, But also that's why they don't look great.
Speaker 3: The DVD just sort of softens the edges to make
Speaker 3: it look as good as possible. They they the ones
Speaker 3: that are not done well look really really bad and
Speaker 3: it's not exactly the same. It's it's a problem. But
Speaker 3: uh yeah, Like like Brian says, these were all edited
Speaker 3: on tape. The ocns are likely gone. It's hard to
Speaker 3: release this today because it's all gone. So all we
Speaker 3: have left. You know, there are laser discs that exist,
Speaker 3: there are DVDs that exist, and I mean, honestly, the
Speaker 3: laser discs probably would have been the best way to
Speaker 3: go for these if you were going to source a
Speaker 3: scan anywhere.
Speaker 2: It's just it's mess.
Speaker 3: We're going to talk more about low res tape masters
Speaker 3: versus film and stuff that was shot on film and
Speaker 3: edited on tape in just a minute about what is
Speaker 3: probably the biggest announcement of the week, So I'll share
Speaker 3: more of my rants.
Speaker 2: For that one. Let's keep going.
Speaker 3: Omni Loop is coming on Blu Ray next week literally
Speaker 3: for Magnolia Pictures. This is the one that slipped by
Speaker 3: me somehow, starring what I think is one of the
Speaker 3: best up and coming comedic actresses that we have, Aodebris
Speaker 3: Zoya Lowe, a quantum physicist, finds herself in a time
Speaker 3: loop with a black hole growing in her chest and
Speaker 3: only a week to live. But what the doctors and
Speaker 3: her family don't know is that she has already lived
Speaker 3: this week before many times. In fact, one day, she
Speaker 3: meets a gifted student named Paula, and together they team
Speaker 3: up to save her life and to unlock the mysteries
Speaker 3: of time travel. That being said, time loop movies, I
Speaker 3: feel like we've had way too many of those over
Speaker 3: the last decade. I kind of want to see this,
Speaker 3: but also I've already seen time movies everywhere.
Speaker 5: So yeah, the last time I watched an interesting time
Speaker 5: loop movie was when Severn put out Lola, and I
Speaker 5: remember that being pretty Oh that's not even a time loop,
Speaker 5: that just involves playing with time. But I feel like
Speaker 5: that was the first time in a long time I
Speaker 5: watched something in that style that I was like, this
Speaker 5: is good. Yeah, this is a good way to do
Speaker 5: it original. So this I'm not the most interested, but
Speaker 5: you know, that's okay, understandable.
Speaker 3: Magnolia also releasing Joan Baiez I Am a Noise on
Speaker 3: February fourth that says, at the end of a sixty
Speaker 3: year career, legendary musician and activist Joan Baiez reflects on
Speaker 3: her life both on and off stage, from her lifelong
Speaker 3: emotional struggles to her civil rights work with MLK and
Speaker 3: a heartbreaking romance with a.
Speaker 2: Young Bob Dylan.
Speaker 3: This film is a compelling and personal exploration of an
Speaker 3: icon who has never told the full truth of.
Speaker 2: Her life until now. Yeah, I'm Dylan extra hot right now.
Speaker 5: I mean, yeah, this would be the time to put
Speaker 5: something like this out. I mean, are people still talking
Speaker 5: about complete unknown?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Oh yeah, all right.
Speaker 5: I just wanted to make sure because I haven't heard anything.
Speaker 2: Next week.
Speaker 3: Level thirty three Entertainment is also releasing All You Need
Speaker 3: Is Blood from twenty twenty four. This is coming as
Speaker 3: a BDR disc. Unfortunately, this is starring Logan Riley Brunner,
Speaker 3: but the bigger names that you might recognize are Eddie
Speaker 3: Griffin and Mina Suvari. This will also have a director's commentary,
Speaker 3: behind the scenes, footage, special effects.
Speaker 2: And film gallery. Supposedly, this movie is pretty damn good.
Speaker 4: The concept gives me.
Speaker 5: Like that feeling that it's pretty good, Like I'm actually
Speaker 5: kind of interested in this. I mean, it sucks it's
Speaker 5: a BDR, but to get it out there, I'm interested it.
Speaker 3: Probably would not have got to release otherwise. This is
Speaker 3: super exciting. I think February eleventh, we are getting a
Speaker 3: four K from Warner brother for The Nice Guys from
Speaker 3: twenty sixteen, one of the most underseen films from the
Speaker 3: last decade.
Speaker 2: I think I love this movie. Truly a great comedy.
Speaker 3: This is going to be a made on demand four
Speaker 3: K still pressed, but just so everybody knows that that
Speaker 3: does happen The Nice Guys.
Speaker 5: You could see this one, dude. I love this movie.
Speaker 5: This and Kiss Kiss Bang Bang are like my favorite
Speaker 5: Shane Black out there. This was so much better than
Speaker 5: I expected going into it, and I hope, I hope
Speaker 5: in ten years we're talking about The fall Guy like
Speaker 5: we like how we do Nice Guys. I can kind
Speaker 5: of see that because I also love that movie as well.
Speaker 3: Goldon says, well, my that cover has Gospily dressing to
Speaker 3: the left cheese.
Speaker 4: Now I'm looking.
Speaker 2: Oh that's hilarious.
Speaker 3: I love that that's right below private. Anyways, let's go
Speaker 3: to the next four K announcement, which is Judas in
Speaker 3: The Black Messiah with Daniel Cluja and Lakeith Stanfield. Somehow,
Speaker 3: this is one I did not see this came out
Speaker 3: in twenty twenty one.
Speaker 2: I need to watch this.
Speaker 3: I love pretty much everything both of those guys have
Speaker 3: acted in.
Speaker 2: So yeah, this looks good. Yeah.
Speaker 5: I would say, Sam, I didn't see this when it
Speaker 5: came out, but uh I will check it out.
Speaker 3: Absolutely Yeah, same day, Same Mad four K February eleventh
Speaker 3: from Warner Brothers. Next up, eight The Night is coming
Speaker 3: on Blu Ray on March eleventh from Altered Innocence. This
Speaker 3: thing sounds wild, so this says Pablo, a small time
Speaker 3: drug dealer, and his teenage sister Appline, have forged an
Speaker 3: unbreakable bond through their shared obsession with the online video
Speaker 3: game Dark Noon. When Pablo falls from the mysterious Night,
Speaker 3: he gets swept up in their liaison, abandoning his sister
Speaker 3: to deal with the impending shutdown of their digital haven alone.
Speaker 3: As Pablo's reckless choices provoked the wrath of a dangerous
Speaker 3: rival gang, the end of their virtual life draws near,
Speaker 3: upending their reality. This is from same people that did
Speaker 3: Jessica Forever and we're gonna have an interview with the
Speaker 3: filmmakers and some short films on this, plus a trailer.
Speaker 3: It is in French, but This sounds pretty damn interesting.
Speaker 5: The fact that it says it's a bittersweet apocalyptic love
Speaker 5: story with a modern m m O RPG twist. Yep, this,
Speaker 5: I mean the cover alone. When this popped up on
Speaker 5: my feed, the cover alone kind of got me yeah
Speaker 5: and reading.
Speaker 4: But yeah, this looks this looks really really cool.
Speaker 3: Alternate Innocence quietly does a lot of really great work.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Yeah, there a label that I get into more as
Speaker 5: time goes on.
Speaker 2: Right, all right, it is time, so let's talk about it.
Speaker 3: Vinegar Syndrome announced as their last title for their subscriber week,
Speaker 3: coming on their Degausser line, iced from nineteen eighty nine. Now,
Speaker 3: this is a slasher film that people have been begging
Speaker 3: for for years, and now to say up front, I
Speaker 3: bought this. So what I'm about to say, you understand,
Speaker 3: I'm saying this to somebody who did purchase this primarily
Speaker 3: just because I want a copy of this on Blu ray.
Speaker 3: So iist is getting released and they say this is
Speaker 3: coming as let's see is it listed here newly transferred
Speaker 3: and restored from the best surviving tape master Now, just
Speaker 3: like we were just talking about on a bikini car
Speaker 3: wash Iist was shot on film and edited on tape,
Speaker 3: and if you had the film elements, you could theoretically
Speaker 3: edit this again the exact same way that the film
Speaker 3: was edited and make it look freaking amazing. If you
Speaker 3: go over and look at the screenshots that Vinegar Syndrome
Speaker 3: posted for Iceed, it looks god awful. It looks to me,
Speaker 3: to be quite honest, it looks like YouTube quality. There
Speaker 3: are tons of digital hits on the screenshots that they
Speaker 3: posted that I'm actually feeling like it is just simply
Speaker 3: a YouTube version that was uploaded.
Speaker 2: It is crazy to have this release.
Speaker 3: And I'm not saying Vinegar Syndrome downloaded this from YouTube
Speaker 3: and they're putting it on Blu Ray or whatever or
Speaker 3: anything like that. But it looks really bad in the screenshots. Now,
Speaker 3: I had a bunch of people say, watch the trailer.
Speaker 3: It looks a lot better. No, it doesn't. The trailer
Speaker 3: does not make it look that much much better. It
Speaker 3: still looks really really low quality. Now to get to
Speaker 3: the actual quote controversy that has come up this week.
Speaker 3: In the acquisition phase, for many of these companies that
Speaker 3: are putting out these films, there is competition up until
Speaker 3: it signs with one company. Now I'm gonna highlight a
Speaker 3: comment here. Who's gonna explain this? So it's not my words,
Speaker 3: I'm reading what John Matthews said. Thanks John. By the way,
Speaker 3: John says that Ryan gravefaced from Terror Vision on the
Speaker 3: blu ray dot com forum, said that the film elements
Speaker 3: on Ice do exist. They were trying to license it,
Speaker 3: but Vinegar Syndrome got it instead. Vinegar Syndrome went down
Speaker 3: the He says lazy tape master routes recreating and re
Speaker 3: editing the film elements scenes wasn't worth their time. Now,
Speaker 3: from what I know, and I've been told behind the
Speaker 3: scenes on this, Vinegar Syndrome just didn't track down the elements.
Speaker 3: And not that they didn't try. They did try. They
Speaker 3: just didn't find them. But the elements were found. Now
Speaker 3: that doesn't mean that the elements were usable. I just
Speaker 3: know that the film exists, and we could have at
Speaker 3: least tried to do it the right way where you
Speaker 3: scan the film in and re edit it again. It
Speaker 3: could have been attempted and look way better than what
Speaker 3: this is going to be on Blu Ray. That being said,
Speaker 3: this will sell out. This is like one of the
Speaker 3: most coveted films of you trashy movie fans.
Speaker 2: Ever.
Speaker 3: People have wanted this on Blu ray since the dawn
Speaker 3: of time, and it's here. It's just not HD quality.
Speaker 3: It looks truly, truly terrible. Am I happy about that?
Speaker 2: Of course not.
Speaker 3: The other sad part is, now the elements have been found,
Speaker 3: you would hope that you could take the elements and
Speaker 3: a UK company could release it.
Speaker 2: Now it's not that simple.
Speaker 3: Unfortunately, Vinegar Syndrome owns the film outright worldwide now, so
Speaker 3: no one else can release this without Vinegar Syndrome's permission.
Speaker 3: They have to license it from Vinegar Syndrome. Why would
Speaker 3: Vinegar Syndrome license it to them and basically admit that their.
Speaker 2: Release is inferior.
Speaker 3: So this is probably the best that we're going to
Speaker 3: get for this film forever, which really sucks.
Speaker 5: I mean, if you're gonna if you're gonna take a
Speaker 5: short cut and do it this way, owning the material
Speaker 5: one hundred percent is gonna be the best way, like
Speaker 5: reason to do it.
Speaker 3: And again I'm not saying they took a short cut.
Speaker 3: I'm just saying they they probably did not discover the
Speaker 3: elements because another label was working on it and they
Speaker 3: found the elements and wanted to license it, but Vinegar
Speaker 3: Syndrome had just beat them to it.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't when you said that, I went on
Speaker 5: Vinegar So I didn't look into this when it came out,
Speaker 5: and I haven't bought it yet. I'm actually I'm gonna
Speaker 5: buy it. You're right, man. These these screenshots that I'm
Speaker 5: flipping through right now are like this is this is
Speaker 5: how I expect to watch it on YouTube, Like this
Speaker 5: is this looks like yeah, what I would have found.
Speaker 3: You know, I've seen a lot of VHS screenshots that
Speaker 3: look a hell of a lot better than what we
Speaker 3: were getting on forrist.
Speaker 5: I guess do you think, let's say the quality is
Speaker 5: exactly what the trailer and these screenshats are giving off.
Speaker 5: Do you think it's going to ruin somebody's first time
Speaker 5: watching this movie? Is it doesn't add it a charm
Speaker 5: at all? Because I can imagine a four K would
Speaker 5: look fantastic just based on.
Speaker 3: I'm not even saying four K, I'm even just saying
Speaker 3: a proper D released. Yeah, so I don't think it'll
Speaker 3: ruin anything. Well, let me say it a better way.
Speaker 3: I think there are some people that are more sensitive
Speaker 3: to quality, and they were probably gonna hate this if
Speaker 3: it comes out like that. For sure, if it came
Speaker 3: out in full HD, it probably would have been slightly
Speaker 3: better for those people. But in all reality, at least
Speaker 3: now you will have access to this film. Most people
Speaker 3: have been trying to see this film years. I'm glad
Speaker 3: that somebody's releasing it. I'm glad that it will be
Speaker 3: out there. I do just wish it was higher quality.
Speaker 3: And the other label that says that they found the
Speaker 3: elements again, they they didn't. It's not like they scan
Speaker 3: the elements to see if they could redo it because
Speaker 3: you have to sign the film first, but before they
Speaker 3: signed the film, they wanted to make sure that they
Speaker 3: had elements, and so because of the timeline of everything,
Speaker 3: it just got screwed over.
Speaker 2: Unfortunately.
Speaker 5: Yeah, if I I feel like if I bought a
Speaker 5: mod of this, like let's say I just bought a
Speaker 5: mod version of this movie on Blu Ray and it
Speaker 5: looked this quality, I would be I would be very
Speaker 5: very very happy to have it, and I'm happy that
Speaker 5: it's out. I just am kind of reserving a lot
Speaker 5: of it until I get it and watch it, you know,
Speaker 5: what I mean, because I'm gonna I'm gonna add it
Speaker 5: on to an order that I placed. But uh yeah,
Speaker 5: I'm happy it's out. That's an interesting that's an interesting
Speaker 5: interesting thing. We're we're kind of to this point where.
Speaker 4: It's hard.
Speaker 5: There's so many movies that people want, and you're at
Speaker 5: the mercy of whoever's putting it out and hoping that
Speaker 5: they're going to do a good job on it.
Speaker 4: And we don't know your story.
Speaker 5: This could be like the best it could have gone,
Speaker 5: like because of his album, because of whatever.
Speaker 3: This could be exactly like you're saying, the elements that
Speaker 3: were found might be completely trashed and this is literally
Speaker 3: the best it will ever get. I'm not saying it
Speaker 3: is one hundred percent true that it could have been better.
Speaker 3: We don't know that yet. However, it wasn't even tried.
Speaker 3: That's the part that sucks here. And the other big
Speaker 3: thing too. I mean, me, looking at those screenshots, I
Speaker 3: don't want to pay a lot of money for that.
Speaker 3: But this thing costs thirty dollars if you're not a subscriber. Yeah,
Speaker 3: thirty dollars on release day for a title that people
Speaker 3: have been after for a long time. So they're gonna
Speaker 3: buy it if those screenshots are true to the quality.
Speaker 2: This is pretty bad for thirty bucks.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I definitely think this might be a like next
Speaker 5: year ten dollars sale. I don't mean what I mean
Speaker 5: without the slip and stuff.
Speaker 4: But I don't know.
Speaker 5: I mean, I I'm I think I'm gonna pick it
Speaker 5: up just because I'm so interested in in what this
Speaker 5: movie is and looking. I mean, the screenshots outside of
Speaker 5: the quality sold me on the movie, right, you know
Speaker 5: what I mean. They sold me on a movie. But
Speaker 5: that quality's quality is pretty uh, pretty rough. So we'll see,
Speaker 5: we'll see what I end up, you know, deciding to
Speaker 5: do with that.
Speaker 3: Matthews saying, maybe the Elements owner is not the same
Speaker 3: as the intellectual owner of the film, and the Element's
Speaker 3: owner was too difficult to work with. Maybe the same
Speaker 3: as what is going on with just before done. That's
Speaker 3: it's just not I mean, the first part is true.
Speaker 3: The Element's owner is not the same as the intellectual owner. Well,
Speaker 3: let me take that back. Technically, in the film world,
Speaker 3: if you have the right to distribute the film, you
Speaker 3: are the rightful owner to the film Elements at that moment,
Speaker 3: you are able to access it if you're allowed to.
Speaker 3: I'm actually dealing with that on another project right this moment.
Speaker 3: But the elements owner would have been willing to work
Speaker 3: with it if Vinegar Syndrome had tracked them down. Vinegar
Speaker 3: Syndrome just they didn't find them, and the other label
Speaker 3: didn't know that Vineger Syndrome had already signed and was
Speaker 3: working on this. The other label was working towards the
Speaker 3: release as well.
Speaker 5: So this is really hard too, because I mean, Vinegar
Speaker 5: Syndrome is known for putting a ton of effort into
Speaker 5: what most people will consider trash.
Speaker 3: Right, and worked their ass off on this. I'm sure
Speaker 3: they did. I'm sure that worked really hard to find
Speaker 3: the elements. It's just that the other label did and
Speaker 3: Vinegar Syndrome didn't.
Speaker 5: Yeah, And I mean, we're to that point where there's
Speaker 5: so many labels out that this is bound to to
Speaker 5: happen a lot, and sometimes I feel like most time
Speaker 5: we don't know about it. But you know, this is
Speaker 5: a company who has put a lot of time into
Speaker 5: a lot lesser desired movies, So it is kind of
Speaker 5: hard to take, you know what was said and think
Speaker 5: like they just took the easy way out, because I mean,
Speaker 5: I owned some I owned some trash from Vinegar Syndrome
Speaker 5: that looks way better than it should and a lot
Speaker 5: of effort was put in.
Speaker 4: So it's just an interesting it's an interesting thing.
Speaker 3: Again, not saying Vinegar Syndrome didn't try this is likely
Speaker 3: the best that Vinegar Syndrome at the time with what
Speaker 3: they had could do. It really just sucks for fans
Speaker 3: of the film, especially hearing on announcement day that elements
Speaker 3: existed somewhere else and maybe we could have had a
Speaker 3: better release.
Speaker 5: Well also too, how many people bought this before reading
Speaker 5: because you know, this stuff's limited. You go on to site,
Speaker 5: you click by, you're done because just because of the title.
Speaker 5: And then you go on and you start reading the
Speaker 5: description and you're like, oh wait, hold.
Speaker 3: On, well and right now they've already sold more than
Speaker 3: three thousand copies of this.
Speaker 5: Yeah, so yeah, yeah, that's that's an interesting one.
Speaker 2: I guess.
Speaker 5: I guess we'll see what time, what time tells with
Speaker 5: this one, you.
Speaker 3: Know, uh yeah, that's gonna be gonna be interesting. The
Speaker 3: extras on this, we got a commentary with Jeff Quitney
Speaker 3: and a special features producer you and can't Ewan's been
Speaker 3: on the channel before. He's a good guy. I'm sure
Speaker 3: that commentary is gonna be good. We had a commentary
Speaker 3: with the Hysteria continues and Amanda Reaes. I'm sure the
Speaker 3: Amandarea's part is gonna be good. On that commentary. We
Speaker 3: had an intro to the film by Jeff Quitney. We
Speaker 3: get an interview with Jeff Quitney as well, interview with
Speaker 3: one of the actors, uh, interview with the second assistant director,
Speaker 3: image gallery, all that same stuff that we get a
Speaker 3: lots of these releases.
Speaker 2: We got a bunch of extras. Yeah.
Speaker 3: The only portion that is a problem really is the
Speaker 3: picture quality. Sadly cool cover.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I like the cover, like the back on this.
Speaker 3: I don't know who was paying attention to the blu
Speaker 3: ray dot com forums on the day this was announced. Somehow,
Speaker 3: if you searched up iced about an hour and a
Speaker 3: half before this went live on Vinegar Syndrome, it showed
Speaker 3: that it was a Degausser release and had the art
Speaker 3: attached to the release. Before it was even live, somebody
Speaker 3: had already loaded it into the database. Not sure how
Speaker 3: that leaked and not sure how it got loaded into
Speaker 3: the database, but man, they were ready to go.
Speaker 2: Wo.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's cool looking.
Speaker 5: I like it. Yeah, back, that comment was great.
Speaker 3: A bunch of Keno announcements coming. We got March eighteenth.
Speaker 3: They're doing a blu ray of The Black Tulip. This
Speaker 3: is a French film from nineteen sixty four. We got
Speaker 3: a new audio commentary by Simon Abrams and yeah, Elaine
Speaker 3: Delan is in this one, and that's enough of a
Speaker 3: reason for many people to.
Speaker 2: Pick this up.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't know anything about it.
Speaker 5: Cool.
Speaker 3: Well, let's talk about Radiance for this month. April twenty
Speaker 3: eighth in the UK, April twenty ninth in North America,
Speaker 3: we are getting a blu ray of a Tale of
Speaker 3: Sorrow and Sadness from nineteen seventy seven. This is by
Speaker 3: Sejun Suzuki, director that many many, many people they love,
Speaker 3: they worship, love the cover art on this one. As usual,
Speaker 3: Radiance kills it with the art. This says the editor
Speaker 3: of a sports magazine, Groom's fashion model Raco to become
Speaker 3: a pro golfer while retaining exclusive rights to her likeness.
Speaker 3: Rayco's popularity soars after she wins her first tournament and
Speaker 3: she becomes a media sensation. But when she and her
Speaker 3: manager cause a hit and run accident. The victim begins
Speaker 3: to blackmail Raco, intruding further and further into her personal life.
Speaker 3: This was Seijune Suzuki's comeback film after being blacklisted by
Speaker 3: the film industry for ten years. Though adapted from a
Speaker 3: popular manga, the bold visuals and absurd plot twist Our
Speaker 3: Vintage Suzuki. We got an audio commentary by Sam Degan
Speaker 3: on this one new interview with the editor Kunihiko Ukai.
Speaker 3: We got a trailer, and then a reversible artwork as usual,
Speaker 3: and then a booklet with new writing by Jasper Sharp
Speaker 3: in an archival review of the film, And this sounds fantastic.
Speaker 4: Yeah, this sounds really.
Speaker 5: Radiance is another label that as time goes on, I've
Speaker 5: really just loved diving into their stuff blind, Like I said,
Speaker 5: and this, I'm sold. I'll buy this and check it
Speaker 5: out for sure.
Speaker 3: We had a question side of the Manimal says, are
Speaker 3: these Radiance releases all included in the sub? This is
Speaker 3: difficult to answer because they had the everything sub where
Speaker 3: you can get every Radiance title, or they have just
Speaker 3: the US sub where you get just the titles that
Speaker 3: are Region A for sure. So if you have either
Speaker 3: of those two subs, yes you will get this one.
Speaker 3: But remember there's a rare road title that is a
Speaker 3: part of this group as well, and that is not
Speaker 3: any of the subscriptions, So if you want that one,
Speaker 3: you got to add it in.
Speaker 4: I don't even know they had a sub.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they have a very useful sub because you get
Speaker 3: a couple of gifts every year out of them. The
Speaker 3: first year we got a notebook that had Radiance branding
Speaker 3: on the front. They do their art house zines. Dirty
Speaker 3: art house is what they call it. They've gotten a
Speaker 3: toe bag, I think, and then one or two other
Speaker 3: small things.
Speaker 5: What about are the subs yearly?
Speaker 3: They do yearly, and I think you can do half
Speaker 3: year at the half yer point. But also when you
Speaker 3: choose it, if you want to save on the shipping,
Speaker 3: you can do like packages, so you can do like
Speaker 3: every three months. That way you pay shipping four times,
Speaker 3: or they might even be free at that point. I'm
Speaker 3: not sure about the price, but yeah, you can save
Speaker 3: and only get two a year or even one. I
Speaker 3: know a friend of mine gets it once a year
Speaker 3: and he gets the entire year in one giant box.
Speaker 4: Oh that sounds awesome.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a lot.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Next one is A Girl with the Suitcase with Claudia Cardinal.
Speaker 3: This is a four K restoration from the original negative.
Speaker 3: We're going an interview with the assistant director and an
Speaker 3: interview with the screenwriter on this and interviewed with the
Speaker 3: film critic Bruno Torri, a visual essay about the film
Speaker 3: by Kat Ellinger. We got a trailer book, a new
Speaker 3: writing by Juliano Menguelli, and yeah, very classic looking radiance released.
Speaker 3: This one is from nineteen sixty one, coming in both
Speaker 3: the UK and North America, same dates as the last
Speaker 3: one we just listed. Then this next one, this is
Speaker 3: UK only. This is a Jacquesrevette film. This is vas
Speaker 3: Avoir from two thousand and one. This is a new
Speaker 3: two K, sorry, new four K restorations. You get the
Speaker 3: one hundred and fifty four minute theatrical cut and then
Speaker 3: Vasavoa plus the two hundred and twenty three minute director's
Speaker 3: original cut on two different discs. You've got selecxiin audio
Speaker 3: commentary by Pascal Bonitzer and Christine Laurent. We've got some
Speaker 3: archival interviews, interview with the critic Jonathan Romney, and then
Speaker 3: a booklet with writing by revet expert Mary M.
Speaker 2: Wiles.
Speaker 5: When we started talking about tonight's show, we were talking
Speaker 5: about possibly doing like a conversation about unrated and director's
Speaker 5: cuts and all that stuff. Yes, it's I know nothing
Speaker 5: about this movie, but for some reason, I'm always insanely
Speaker 5: interested in the director's cuts. And it's really cool to
Speaker 5: see that the restoration is on the two hundred and
Speaker 5: twenty three minute cut of this because sometimes I feel
Speaker 5: like those less desired cuts kind of get the back end,
Speaker 5: like they don't get treated as well. Because ninety nine
Speaker 5: percent of the time, regardless of the time frame that
Speaker 5: I have to watch something, I will always typically watch
Speaker 5: the director's preferred version. So that's what I want restored.
Speaker 5: And I'm interested in this, and it's only a UK
Speaker 5: only release, but I'm interested in grabbing this and that
Speaker 5: would be the cut that I'm watching, so I'm happy
Speaker 5: to see that that's also restored.
Speaker 2: Right right.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I think this is one of like five
Speaker 3: remaining Jakravette films that have not been released on HD,
Speaker 3: So now after this one, I think we only got
Speaker 3: like somewhere between like three and five left. So yeah,
Speaker 3: that's a nice release for Radiance and then the final
Speaker 3: regular Radiance release. This is a Kelly Reichart film from
Speaker 3: nineteen ninety four coming out in the UK only River
Speaker 3: of Grass. This has been released in the US by Oscilloscope,
Speaker 3: and this one has the same two K restoration that
Speaker 3: Oscilloscope did. This one has an audio commentary by Kelly
Speaker 3: Riichart and Larry Festenen. We had an audio interview with
Speaker 3: the writer and curator, so my a from this year.
Speaker 3: Larry Festenen gets a visual essay by Anton Bttel and
Speaker 3: that is brand new. There are dry By outtakes, a
Speaker 3: restoration featurette and then a booklet with new writing by
Speaker 3: Caitlin Quinlin.
Speaker 2: And this is a very good movie. Have you seen
Speaker 2: this one?
Speaker 5: I haven't, but I can't help but look at these
Speaker 5: three announcements, and for some reason, I think of Criterion,
Speaker 5: both in the cover and in the the style, but
Speaker 5: also in the variety of movies announced. Yep, Like I
Speaker 5: haven't heard of any of this now, being the third
Speaker 5: all three, I'm interested in checking out. Well, this has
Speaker 5: Hilarry Fastened in it, so that's awesome, But all three
Speaker 5: plots are so radically different. But I'm like excited to
Speaker 5: watch all three of these and look at the visual
Speaker 5: essays and all that stuff. So it's just kind of
Speaker 5: like an instant appeal to me.
Speaker 4: You know, good.
Speaker 3: Stuff all I've always loved Kelly, which art pretty much
Speaker 3: everything that I've seen. Check it out if you're into it.
Speaker 3: And then finally, like I mentioned, there's a rare OH release.
Speaker 3: This is not in any subscription. This is a UK
Speaker 3: only release and it's a Blu Ray release of Killer
Speaker 3: Cop from nineteen seventy five. This has an HD dishit
Speaker 3: transfer with the original Italian and English audio options on
Speaker 3: Blu Ray for the first time in the UK. New
Speaker 3: commentary by Eugenie Ercolani and Troy Howarth, interview with Valeria
Speaker 3: Kobe or o'beachi I'm.
Speaker 2: A betting that's how it's pronounced.
Speaker 3: And then interview with production manager Alessandro Koloshi, and then
Speaker 3: limited edition booklet, new writing by Barry Forshaw.
Speaker 2: On this one, RaRo does some pretty great stuff.
Speaker 5: Yeah, this sounds crazy, but what's most interesting to me
Speaker 5: is uh, Luciano Orcoley. I just watched this past twenty
Speaker 5: twenty four The Forbidden Photos of a Lady above Suspicion
Speaker 5: nice and absolutely loved it, so that's an instant appeal
Speaker 5: to this one.
Speaker 3: Nice, nice, nice, Yeah, he's a good director. Ho which
Speaker 3: is the name of it is the name of this
Speaker 3: new one from Keno lover coming on March eighteenth. This
Speaker 3: has a new audio commentary by the Man, the Myth,
Speaker 3: the Legend, Howard is Berger, Steve Mitchell, Inthaniel Thompson. This
Speaker 3: is another French film and we will be getting a
Speaker 3: few of those on March eighteenth. This one is starring
Speaker 3: Jean Pell Jean Paul Belmondo and then Elaine delun Is
Speaker 3: like a very quick cameo in this one as well.
Speaker 5: That looks cool.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Then VCI is releasing The Naked Witch, also known as
Speaker 3: The witch Maker from nineteen sixty nine. This is a
Speaker 3: movie that's been released on Blu Ray from Code Red
Speaker 3: and a couple others in the past.
Speaker 2: I believe this is nothing new, just.
Speaker 3: The same film that we've got before. VCI doing nothing
Speaker 3: new on it as far as I can tell. They
Speaker 3: just licensed it to get it back in print, which
Speaker 3: is totally fine.
Speaker 2: Yeah, The Naked Witch.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's I have seen this one. I believe I
Speaker 5: have the code read release. It's a good movie.
Speaker 3: I think I have it up there, or I did
Speaker 3: at some point got rid of it after I watched it.
Speaker 2: Another one we talked about Boon Weell earlier.
Speaker 3: We are getting a Diary of a chamber maid from
Speaker 3: nineteen sixty four. This is coming on March twenty fifth
Speaker 3: from Keino, And this is gonna have a new audio
Speaker 3: commentary by Imogen Sarah Smith, who is one of the
Speaker 3: best in the game, does a lot of stuff for Criterion,
Speaker 3: also works with our friends over at Sinna's Journeys. Not
Speaker 3: sure if Aaron is still here, if he went to sleep,
Speaker 3: but he was here in the chat earlier.
Speaker 2: I just saw Ronnie's chat. One of the best kinds
Speaker 2: of witches is a naked witch.
Speaker 3: I agree, I completely agree. This is one that I
Speaker 3: know a lot of people are going to be purchasing.
Speaker 3: Definitely one that I need to pre order because I've
Speaker 3: not seen this one. Happily able to admit that this
Speaker 3: is supposedly one of the best movies of all time.
Speaker 2: Been on my watch list for a long time.
Speaker 5: Yeah, this is I've heard of it in books and
Speaker 5: just kind of reading.
Speaker 4: Never never saw.
Speaker 5: I think this might be a title that I'll pick
Speaker 5: up during one of the keynote like seasonal sales.
Speaker 2: Yep.
Speaker 5: But yeah, very that's cool. That's cool.
Speaker 2: Last movie standing here to say hello to you?
Speaker 5: Hey, what's up buddy?
Speaker 2: All right? That is Boon Weell. Next one, shout Man.
Speaker 2: Shout had a.
Speaker 3: Weird day today. They were announcing titles like once every
Speaker 3: ninety minutes. So we're gonna have some Shout titles and
Speaker 3: then intersperse some other titles in between to end this
Speaker 3: show for today. Ghost Cat on Zoo from twenty twenty
Speaker 3: four is getting a G Kids released with Shout coming
Speaker 3: on March fifth, sorry fourth on Blu Ray. This will
Speaker 3: have the extras are audio and teezers and trailers, but
Speaker 3: that's it. It's hilarious to me that they put audio
Speaker 3: under extras.
Speaker 5: Yeah, so this is a kid's line.
Speaker 2: G Kids is like their anime line that they work with.
Speaker 5: Okay, okay, all right. I'm just curious because I was wondering, like,
Speaker 5: would this be something that you would put yourself in
Speaker 5: the shoes of a consumer, Would this be something that
Speaker 5: you would be interested in for your kids or.
Speaker 2: For me personally?
Speaker 3: No, But they've only watched I think they've only seen
Speaker 3: one Miyazaki film. So far, I need to break more
Speaker 3: out for them, But other than that, I think they
Speaker 3: just don't have the I don't know the acquaintance with
Speaker 3: this animation style, so I don't think it would grip
Speaker 3: them immediately.
Speaker 4: Okay, I was just curious from somebody who doesn't have kids.
Speaker 3: But some of the G Kids animated, well, I think
Speaker 3: most of them are animated, But the G Kids' anime films,
Speaker 3: some of them are very much not kids films either,
Speaker 3: So okay, they do definitely go there as well.
Speaker 5: Interesting okay, okay.
Speaker 3: Next, Sony Pictures announced blu rays for two of their
Speaker 3: Sony Pictures Classic titles. Both of these are coming on
Speaker 3: Fabruary twenty fifth. This first one is character from nineteen
Speaker 3: ninety seven one that I had no idea what this was,
Speaker 3: but this got a ton of comments. A lot of
Speaker 3: people have wanted this for quite some time. It sounds
Speaker 3: like it's based on a nineteen thirty eight Dutch novel
Speaker 3: and based on that. A lot of people saw this
Speaker 3: and then went and read a lot of the books
Speaker 3: from the author. Yeah, this is from nineteen ninety seven.
Speaker 3: I'm not sure if I said that this one the
Speaker 3: best Foreig Language Film at the Oscars in nineteen ninety.
Speaker 5: Eight, and it's pretty impressive. A Academy Award winning feature debut.
Speaker 2: Sure is.
Speaker 3: Next one as Respiro is coming on the same day.
Speaker 3: This is from two thousand and two. This is another
Speaker 3: award winning film, got lots of attention back when it
Speaker 3: came out that I've not seen that. Sony Pictures Classics.
Speaker 3: They know some great titles.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't know anything about either of these, but
Speaker 5: I am.
Speaker 3: Interested absolutely all right. Next up is Dazzler Media over
Speaker 3: in the UK. They are doing a four K of
Speaker 3: The Last Voyage of the Demeter. This is the twenty
Speaker 3: twenty three film that just came out and they're doing
Speaker 3: a four K and blu ray. I think all of
Speaker 3: the extras are from the Shout four K. You've got
Speaker 3: the audio commentary, some bleeded scenes, Dracula reimagined, and then
Speaker 3: Evil is a board to making of. But yeah, I
Speaker 3: mean even the cover art for the four K is
Speaker 3: essentially identical to the Shout four K, including the Collector's
Speaker 3: edition branding at the top. They just composed the Dazzler
Speaker 3: Media logo and the certificate on the front of it.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's what I was my face kind of changed.
Speaker 5: I was like, wait, that's exactly the same.
Speaker 2: Yep. Honestly, they probably didn't change it at all. Shout Factory.
Speaker 3: Their next title is Forbidden World from nineteen eighty two,
Speaker 3: is making the leap up to four K. This is
Speaker 3: the of course, Roger Corman produced Forbidden World. This is
Speaker 3: going to have the theatrical version and director's cut both
Speaker 3: on four K. There are no new extras, but both cuts.
Speaker 3: Making the jump to four K is interesting rather than
Speaker 3: just the theatrical like they normally do.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, another Corman title in four K.
Speaker 5: They I love screen Factory because I feel like they
Speaker 5: actually listen a little bit, and they have been making
Speaker 5: some little improvements over time of little things. So I
Speaker 5: appreciate having both on one, you know, on four K here.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, definitely having both on one. Four K is
Speaker 3: how it should always be, especially if you're able to
Speaker 3: properly utilize four K and all that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely need to.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's how it should be. It's not always how
Speaker 5: it's done.
Speaker 2: The next title, March twenty fifth.
Speaker 3: We are getting a three D blu ray from Keno
Speaker 3: and the three D film Archive of the Glass Web
Speaker 3: by Jack Arnold. This is from nineteen five three gorgeously
Speaker 3: remastered for the first time in three D. This is
Speaker 3: gonna have a new audio commentary by Jason A. Nye
Speaker 3: with three D experts Mike Bleu and Greg Kenttz. You
Speaker 3: will also have the two D Blu Ray. You've got
Speaker 3: three D and anaglyphic the the red and blue three
Speaker 3: D versions with one pair of three D glasses included.
Speaker 3: So no matter what you got, if you got a
Speaker 3: three D TV and all that stuff, you can watch
Speaker 3: it the proper way with the good three D glasses,
Speaker 3: or you can watch it red and blue glasses or
Speaker 3: just flat two D. Yeah, Forbidden World is dope' his
Speaker 3: last movie standing very much prefer the theatrical cut. The
Speaker 3: Blu ray had the director's cut looked like VHS quality.
Speaker 3: Well now it's been restored. Hopefully you can check that
Speaker 3: out again. Yes, you do get glasses similar. Next up,
Speaker 3: this is pretty big announcement Shout putting out Tommy on
Speaker 3: four K on their Shout Select line on March eighteenth.
Speaker 3: This is being lauded as the fiftieth anniversary edition, and
Speaker 3: they went out so far to get this wonderful new
Speaker 3: release out that they have zero extras, no commentary, nothing,
Speaker 3: and it's a fiftieth anniversary edition. Sure, it's it's great
Speaker 3: that you're getting this in four K. Not gonna put
Speaker 3: that down, But what the hell I mean. I don't
Speaker 3: know if, like the WHO is against this being released
Speaker 3: with any extras or something, but holy hell, it sucks
Speaker 3: that this has nothing Like there's is.
Speaker 5: There no archival anything for this movie that they could.
Speaker 2: Have owned there? There isn't the UK, but none of
Speaker 2: those have ever been poured it over to the US releases.
Speaker 5: Interesting, okay, I mean quol to have it for those
Speaker 5: who won it, but it's that's the definition of bear Bones.
Speaker 3: Yeah once again, extra futures audio.
Speaker 5: Yeah, at least you get audio.
Speaker 4: As a bonus.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Again, this is what I want. And it's probably
Speaker 3: not shouts fault. I'm gonna try to give them that
Speaker 3: benefit of the doubt. It's probably a right thing with
Speaker 3: the WHO, but come on, it's freakin Tommy. I mean,
Speaker 3: if they don't want you to have the extras on
Speaker 3: this disc, and I think this is totally legal, hire
Speaker 3: a bunch of you know, historians, people that love this music, experts, whatever,
Speaker 3: and just put out your own separate release of Tommy extras.
Speaker 3: Sell it for ten dollars and when you when you
Speaker 3: put this out, put it in a three disc case
Speaker 3: so that they can buy that extra set and buy
Speaker 3: it in here.
Speaker 5: Yeah, how does it work with like they can't they
Speaker 5: can't hire their own somebody do video essays or does
Speaker 5: that also become rights issues.
Speaker 2: Or some studios and some entities can choose that?
Speaker 5: Yes, okay, okay, that's it's just crazy to hear nothing
Speaker 5: except the audio.
Speaker 2: It's wild. I do not understand it.
Speaker 3: I wish they would be able to say, hey, we
Speaker 3: weren't allowed to put anything on this because.
Speaker 2: Again it's the fiftieth anniversary edition.
Speaker 5: I mean a bonus feature of just somebody from show
Speaker 5: Factory saying hey, we weren't allowed to do anything. I
Speaker 5: feel like I would have liked to have more than
Speaker 5: just nothing.
Speaker 3: Next up, Keno putting out Hijack Highway from nineteen fifty five.
Speaker 3: This is another French film coming on March twenty fifth.
Speaker 3: New audio commentary by Simon Abrams on this one. And yeah,
Speaker 3: I know nothing about this, I know literally nothing. That's
Speaker 3: great art though it is very good art, yes, very good.
Speaker 3: Slipcase on this one. Next one up is two Way
Speaker 3: Stretch from nineteen sixty getting a release on March eleventh
Speaker 3: from Keno starring Peter Seller's new audio commentary by authors
Speaker 3: and comedy historians Jim Ross and Robert Ross. I love
Speaker 3: me some British humor, so I may check this one.
Speaker 5: Out of David Lodge as the meat headed muscleman.
Speaker 2: Yep.
Speaker 3: Next up is a big title for a lot of people.
Speaker 3: Screen Factory putting out Night of the Creeps on four
Speaker 3: K on March twenty fifth. This is the standard release,
Speaker 3: comes with the slipcover. During that first pressing, you got
Speaker 3: a new commentary on this by Suzanne Snyder and then
Speaker 3: Jackson Stewart and fran Gloopi fransmen on the channel before
Speaker 3: check that out. This is interesting because the four K
Speaker 3: disc is just the director's cut. The Blu Ray disc
Speaker 3: is just the director's cut, and then they add the
Speaker 3: theatrical ending as an extra on the Blu Ray disc
Speaker 3: of extras. They also have a new career retrospective with
Speaker 3: Fred Decker on the Blue ray special features. Everything else
Speaker 3: has been poured over from the old Blu Ray release.
Speaker 3: But yeah, only one cut of the film being released
Speaker 3: here and it's the director's cut.
Speaker 5: I don't know offhand what the difference was between the
Speaker 5: theatrical and the director I mean, obviously just okay, So
Speaker 5: in that case, I don't see it a big deal.
Speaker 5: I love the new bonus features for this. I love
Speaker 5: Ny of the Creeps, So this is a guaranteed upgrade
Speaker 5: for me. But it makes it easier to spend the money,
Speaker 5: especially when you have a new commentary and then a
Speaker 5: Fred Decker career retrospective interview. I think that that adds
Speaker 5: significant value to this. So I'll be picking it up
Speaker 5: for sure, and I love I know we're probably gonna
Speaker 5: show it, but I love the new slipcover.
Speaker 2: Definitely going to show it.
Speaker 3: Let's get to it, because they also announced some bundles
Speaker 3: this one. You get these two posters and the altar
Speaker 3: slip cover here. Yeah, you're right, that slip is great.
Speaker 3: But of course the big deal here is the tom
Speaker 3: Atkins Neka that they released. That is a new Neka,
Speaker 3: and if you were lucky enough to be super fast,
Speaker 3: you could have got the old Neka that they released
Speaker 3: as well. They had sixty of these available today in
Speaker 3: a bundle where you could get both of them.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's cool that two for two on cool Shit
Speaker 5: with Night of the Creeps from Scream Factory.
Speaker 3: The cooler thing, too, is if you have that original
Speaker 3: Necka figure and you you're like, you know, I don't
Speaker 3: need to go to the four K. You can just
Speaker 3: buy the new Necka figure by itself. Honestly cool deal
Speaker 3: from Shout. They don't always do that, but that's that's
Speaker 3: pretty rad. Yeah, I love it's rare.
Speaker 5: I really love their alternate slips, but in this case,
Speaker 5: that coloring just overall, I love that alternate work.
Speaker 3: Agreed, Agreed, all right? Then Shaw Brothers Classics Volume six
Speaker 3: got announced again. Eleven films on eleven discs, and this
Speaker 3: is a lot, so let's go through it real quick.
Speaker 3: Swords Women three, the Twelve Gold Medallions, The Black Enforcer,
Speaker 3: Duel for Gold Finger of Doom, Nacha and the Seven Devils,
Speaker 3: Shadow Girl, Swordsmen at Large, The Black Tavern, The Young Avenger,
Speaker 3: and Crazy Nuts of Kung Fu. Now I've not seen
Speaker 3: any of these yets. I hear the Black taverns amazing.
Speaker 3: Pretty Much everybody that has seen some of these say
Speaker 3: the Black Tavern is incredible. Now all of these have
Speaker 3: new extras. I believe all of them have at least
Speaker 3: one new commentary. Many of them have two or more
Speaker 3: new commentaries. They are not kidding around. These releases have interviews,
Speaker 3: they have featurettes, They've got multiple commentaries. This is a
Speaker 3: set that adds to their collection in a very meaningful way,
Speaker 3: supposedly great films. I'm so glad that they're continuing to
Speaker 3: put these out. It's expensive, totally get that, but this
Speaker 3: is wild. So many Shaw Brothers titles in the last
Speaker 3: couple of years that have gotten releases. It is so
Speaker 3: hard to stay up to date. But geez, good stuff.
Speaker 4: Yeah. I blinked and we're on volume six.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 5: To me, it's like the is it keynot does the
Speaker 5: film Noir? Where there's like twenty.
Speaker 2: Eight, We're almost up to thirty. Yeah.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's like, how the hell did we get there?
Speaker 2: And this?
Speaker 5: I remember volume one and I was like, oh, this
Speaker 5: is cool, and then now six already are these because
Speaker 5: I don't know are they individual cases or is it
Speaker 5: they are?
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, somehow I've got it within reach. Okay, so
Speaker 3: I guess they're not individual cases unnecessarily, but they're all
Speaker 3: individual discs. So some of them have one case for
Speaker 3: two films.
Speaker 5: Okay, yeah, because I just got their Golden Harvest Supernatural Terrors,
Speaker 5: and that's the way it is. I was curious if
Speaker 5: it was the same way.
Speaker 3: I don't have the Golden Harvest ones. I need to
Speaker 3: get those for sure, But I mean again, there are
Speaker 3: so many. Yeah, and they've they've got the Golden Harvest ones,
Speaker 3: They've got the Shaw Brothers ones, and then they've also
Speaker 3: got the Tai Lung David Chang collection. They've got the
Speaker 3: Brave Archer collection. They've got the two Jackie Chan collections.
Speaker 3: There's at least one.
Speaker 2: More that they did.
Speaker 3: Oh uh, Sunny Chiba they did his collection too. Oh yes, yeah,
Speaker 3: they did much so much. I mean, I love it.
Speaker 3: I'm all for it, but god, dang, I need.
Speaker 5: I'm still I'm still trying to make my way through
Speaker 5: Volume one Game of Clones.
Speaker 2: At least that's the twenty twenty four release. Yeah, yes, yes, yes,
Speaker 2: uh finally.
Speaker 3: This week, sticking with Asia, media Blasters is releasing a
Speaker 3: Blu Ray in the US of samurai fiction from nineteen
Speaker 3: nine eight one that a lot of people lost faith
Speaker 3: would ever come to Blu Ray. You can get this
Speaker 3: from Media Blasters. It is not up on their website yet,
Speaker 3: but they're usually pretty quick. I'm assuming that you should
Speaker 3: be able to see this up there soon. It'll be
Speaker 3: on Amazon. Diabolic should have it. I know that a
Speaker 3: lot of people were after this one, so check this out.
Speaker 3: This says Heyshiro Nukai is a noble samurai who seeks
Speaker 3: vengeance against Reinosuke, the renegade villain who stole the Klans
Speaker 3: Prize treasure. To save the Klan's honor, Heyshiro, an untested swordsman,
Speaker 3: resolves to take down Reinosuke, who gets killed hundreds of
Speaker 3: men and into entire armies. As he prepares for the
Speaker 3: final showdown, Heyshiro is faced with a choice between reaching
Speaker 3: a peaceful or a bloody resolution. This is shot in
Speaker 3: black and white, and it's a fan favorite that, like
Speaker 3: I said, a lot of people have wanted so much.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's cool, that's what I'm interested in.
Speaker 3: Nice, we did it. Those are the announcements. Let's cover
Speaker 3: what is coming next week before we get to our discussion.
Speaker 2: Right quick, here we go.
Speaker 3: Like we said in Glorious Bastards, four K from Arrow
Speaker 3: coming out next week. This is supposedly starting to sell
Speaker 3: out everywhere.
Speaker 2: I just checked.
Speaker 3: An Atomic Movie Store still has it for forty one
Speaker 3: ninety nine, so if you can't find it elsewhere, you
Speaker 3: may want to grab it from there if you were
Speaker 3: after it. The snow Piercer four K steal book finally drops.
Speaker 3: Chinatown and Once Upon a Time in the West get
Speaker 3: their standard four K releases from Paramount. Jojo Dancer from
Speaker 3: Criterion On four K is releasing. We Got The Mother
Speaker 3: and the Horror four K from Criterion. Shaw Brothers Classics
Speaker 3: Volume five is just coming out. Incubus four K from
Speaker 3: Arrow Terror Vision should be getting in there, Rumpelstilskin four
Speaker 3: K and getting those out. It probably will not be
Speaker 3: in your hands by next Tuesday, but hopefully by the
Speaker 3: end of next week if you're a clubber, and probably
Speaker 3: early the following week if you are not. Godzilla Minus
Speaker 3: one gets one of its fourteen releases coming out next Tuesday.
Speaker 3: Sometimes I think about Dying goes Wide from Mycilloscope. Then
Speaker 3: the Milk Creek Icon's Unearthed Marvel edition comes out next Tuesday.
Speaker 3: Cohen Media's My Name Is Alfred Hitchcock finally coming out.
Speaker 3: Feel like we talked about that one ages ago, the
Speaker 3: Spiral Road and that funny feeling from Keno also dropping
Speaker 3: Next Tuesday Romance and cigarettes coming as well. Any of
Speaker 3: those that you are after, sir, or pre ordered or
Speaker 3: super excited for. So nothing pre ordered thinking about grabbing
Speaker 3: my name is out for Hitchcock. But yeah, this is
Speaker 3: I want glorious Bastards.
Speaker 5: I just don't know. I haven't convinced myself of it
Speaker 5: quite yet.
Speaker 2: Yep.
Speaker 4: So that's where I'm at.
Speaker 2: It's the same scan. It's difficult.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean I've heard, I've heard it's seams skin.
Speaker 4: I've heard it's a different encoding. I don't know.
Speaker 5: I haven't I that one. I'm gonna be like, it'll
Speaker 5: be a last minute thing if I decide to. It'll
Speaker 5: be like when a tomic movie stars one left and
Speaker 5: I'm like, okay, finally.
Speaker 3: So yeah, I'm eager to get in Rumbelstiltskin for sure.
Speaker 3: I've not even been able to see the new restoration yet.
Speaker 3: I really need to. I think that's the biggest one
Speaker 3: for me. I'm kind of curious eventually to check out
Speaker 3: Incubis love the whole Like this movie was not able
Speaker 3: to be seen for years and we got it now
Speaker 3: on four K. Like it just adds to the lower
Speaker 3: of these crazy titles that we've been getting for last
Speaker 3: year and a half.
Speaker 5: Yeah, well, I'm actually kind of happy there's a week
Speaker 5: where I'm not going to spend much money.
Speaker 4: On that they you know what I mean?
Speaker 2: Right right?
Speaker 3: All right, we are on to our discussion for the night,
Speaker 3: which is commentaries that we wish that we could do,
Speaker 3: and these are only horror films before we do that,
Speaker 3: Why do you love commentaries? Why do you want to
Speaker 3: start a podcast about commentaries?
Speaker 5: You know? I feel like I didn't start getting into
Speaker 5: them until later, I actually, believe it or not. The
Speaker 5: movie that kind of started for me was the commentary
Speaker 5: for Halloween four with Dwight h a little. That was
Speaker 5: the commentary that I remember watching Halloween four and I
Speaker 5: was like, yeah, obviously I like that movie a lot,
Speaker 5: but the commentary kind of brought up some things and.
Speaker 4: Showed me some things in.
Speaker 5: A new light, and I was like, man, these are actually,
Speaker 5: like incredibly interesting. So I started diving into them a
Speaker 5: little bit more, and then of course eventually getting to
Speaker 5: the point where I was watching Yours with Will on
Speaker 5: a Spider Labyrinth, and it really got to a point
Speaker 5: where it was almost like I don't know how to
Speaker 5: put it. I felt like I felt like I was
Speaker 5: getting viewpoints that no other form of bonus future unless
Speaker 5: I could sit down with the people like were able
Speaker 5: to give me like that was the best insight. And
Speaker 5: there are bad commentaries, and there are good commentaries, for sure,
Speaker 5: But the desire to move it into a podcast is
Speaker 5: because I feel like people who don't watch or listen
Speaker 5: to audio comedies are missing out on a lot of
Speaker 5: important information. And there are times where commentaries have made
Speaker 5: movies better for me or helped me kind of see
Speaker 5: them in a new light.
Speaker 4: And there are some commentaries you listen to.
Speaker 5: Man, we're just like you can feel the love and
Speaker 5: the passion, and once you kind of hear some of
Speaker 5: those stories, it's it's shocking that half of what we
Speaker 5: have ever came to light even exist, you know, and
Speaker 5: it's so interesting. So that's what drove me. That's what
Speaker 5: drove me into them. And the cool thing now is
Speaker 5: doing all the research for the podcast. Every movie that
Speaker 5: we've been researching for the for the first six months,
Speaker 5: I have a new found respect for both the movie
Speaker 5: and the people involved. We've been lucky that the six
Speaker 5: movies we picked, we picked without kind of like pre
Speaker 5: screening the commentary to figure out if it was good.
Speaker 5: We just happened to pick a bunch that were good,
Speaker 5: and I was like, once we kind of got to
Speaker 5: like the third or fourth movie, I was like, oh shit,
Speaker 5: like we're onto something like like we're actually learning and
Speaker 5: that's that's really it, man. There is no better way
Speaker 5: for me to kind of explain it, you know.
Speaker 3: So what are two or three like other than the
Speaker 3: ones you just mentioned favorite commentaries that you've listened to
Speaker 3: that you would say everybody who loves horror and love
Speaker 3: special features should try to listen to these commentaries.
Speaker 4: So I'm gonna be broad with the first.
Speaker 5: I'm gonna say anything with Rob Zombie on any of
Speaker 5: his movies. I still think he his movies have some
Speaker 5: of the best behind the scenes bonus features. Anyway, he
Speaker 5: goes incredibly in depth. But that's a guy who I
Speaker 5: He's kind of like Kevin Smith to me.
Speaker 4: I love hearing him just talk about movies.
Speaker 5: And we are covering House of a Thousand Corpses this year,
Speaker 5: and it's such a great commentary track, and we are
Speaker 5: gonna be kind of talking about the retrospective commentary track
Speaker 5: that he did for the anniversary release that was only
Speaker 5: on streaming, So we are going to be talking about that,
Speaker 5: So I would say anything Rob Zombie. I'm trying to
Speaker 5: peek back to kind of like remember well Halloween, that
Speaker 5: one with John Carpenter and Jamie the Curtis, I think
Speaker 5: is an essential commentary track for anybody to listen to. Yeah,
Speaker 5: you put me on the spot. Man, you didn't ask
Speaker 5: me this question beforehand.
Speaker 2: It's what I do.
Speaker 5: I'm gonna probably say, I don't know offhand. It's late.
Speaker 3: Well, then let's get into our discussion because I can't
Speaker 3: wait to hear some of your responses for these. So
Speaker 3: we were going to name five films that we would
Speaker 3: love to do a commentary for that are horror movies.
Speaker 2: What is the first one that you want to bring up?
Speaker 4: Okay?
Speaker 5: So I had to look at this in an interesting
Speaker 5: way because commentaries, to me, if I've never done one,
Speaker 5: if I was challenged to do one, it's challenging me
Speaker 5: to analyze deeper than ever before. So most of the
Speaker 5: titles that I have here, actually four of the five
Speaker 5: do not have commentaries.
Speaker 4: One does. But first one I'm.
Speaker 5: Going to pull up is actually a release from this
Speaker 5: past year and it is a wounded fawn. So yeah,
Speaker 5: and I'm incredibly shocked that this did not come with
Speaker 5: a commentary. It was something that I was kind of
Speaker 5: when the bonus features got or when it got announced,
Speaker 5: I was a little disappointed. I was like, oh man,
Speaker 5: I'm happy to have this, but the bonus features didn't
Speaker 5: really hit where I wanted to. This movie, to me
Speaker 5: is incredibly interesting as a fan of not just the
Speaker 5: yellow genre but anything from the seventies. But it's also
Speaker 5: a movie that jumps genre so often that I feel
Speaker 5: like deep diving into this would be such a great exploration.
Speaker 5: And also too, you can interpret this movie many different ways.
Speaker 5: You can take it literally, you can get into all
Speaker 5: the metaphorical you know, so there's there's a ton of
Speaker 5: different ways to an analytically hop into this as well
Speaker 5: as just fanboy about some of the incredible visuals. Like
Speaker 5: there's a moment where the character comes out of a
Speaker 5: out comes out of the bathroom and she's walking down
Speaker 5: a hallway and there's this stark red wall behind her.
Speaker 5: And this movie was shot on film, so you have
Speaker 5: all the beautiful film grain, the beautiful coloring, the beautiful lighting,
Speaker 5: I feel like you could just geek out about the
Speaker 5: whole entire time. So to me, I would just want
Speaker 5: to talk about that stuff, and you know what I mean,
Speaker 5: dive into it like that and it's disappointing me if
Speaker 5: there isn't one for it. I'm just happy to own
Speaker 5: it at this point, you know, right right, totally get that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a great movie. A lot definitely a lot
Speaker 2: to analyze for sure.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, all right.
Speaker 3: So the first one I want to talk about is
Speaker 3: a half cheat. I kind of have to do this
Speaker 3: sometimes because there are certain things and I'm like, well, yeah,
Speaker 3: that has to be an answer, but also it's kind
Speaker 3: of a silly answer. But my first one here is Barbarian.
Speaker 3: And the first reason is because then we have a
Speaker 3: release of Barbarian. That's the main reason why I would
Speaker 3: love to do it, because I could hold it in
Speaker 3: my hand and have it be a true legit release.
Speaker 3: But in all reality, like a commentary on Barbarian has
Speaker 3: so many things that I would love to talk about.
Speaker 3: I mean, the history of why doest kids? You know,
Speaker 3: in getting to get Barbarian made for Zach would be amazing,
Speaker 3: justin long and how he is one of like two
Speaker 3: modern screen kings that we have with him and Kyle Gallener.
Speaker 3: I truly would love to just speak on his history
Speaker 3: attached to this genre because he has done so many
Speaker 3: incredible things. But then, you know, the stars that are
Speaker 3: in this movie and the story that we got really
Speaker 3: feel like Barbarian would make an incredible commentary. There's so
Speaker 3: much that you can pull out of this, you know,
Speaker 3: talking about the history of Detroit and the political aspects
Speaker 3: that led to the city being broken down and what
Speaker 3: we see in the first part of this movie. Yeah,
Speaker 3: there's so much out of Barbarian that could really really
Speaker 3: make for some good analysis.
Speaker 5: Oh dude, you can talk about because the movie did
Speaker 5: a great job with marketing Bill Scarsguard. We you know,
Speaker 5: I remember thinking he was clearly a villain in that marketing.
Speaker 5: You could talk about how that movie does so well
Speaker 5: with balancing the humor, like especially when Justin Long begins
Speaker 5: exploring downstairs and kind of going around and measuring out
Speaker 5: the property and all that other It does a really
Speaker 5: good job with humor. It also that movie also commentates
Speaker 5: a lot on how shitty human beings can be in
Speaker 5: Justin Long's character, and it does it very subtle, which
Speaker 5: I really appreciate, really really really appreciate, because there were
Speaker 5: there were times when I I picked up on things
Speaker 5: and my wife didn't, and I was like, yeah, this
Speaker 5: is a they're doing a good job and not putting
Speaker 5: this in your face.
Speaker 4: But you know, if you know, you know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it would be fun.
Speaker 3: I mean even just the research alone, Like there's a
Speaker 3: lot of stuff that I would love to learn about
Speaker 3: that that could be associated with this would be a blast.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a that's a good one, man.
Speaker 2: Good pick all right, your second one.
Speaker 5: So this one, this is the only one I have
Speaker 5: that has a commentary, And I feel like this is
Speaker 5: such an underseen movie. I'm going with Summer of Sam Spike, Lee, Chase.
Speaker 2: Love that movie, dude.
Speaker 5: This movie is incredibly fascinating because in the conversation of
Speaker 5: true crime, this never gets brought up. Yep, and it's
Speaker 5: it's it's crazy because this is a movie that, for
Speaker 5: being so focused on true crime and our Killer, is
Speaker 5: more a story of identity and a city and the
Speaker 5: people within it dealing with the shock wave of consequence
Speaker 5: that comes from having a serial killer in So it
Speaker 5: is a serial killer movie focused more on the like
Speaker 5: I said like like that shockwave of it. And to me,
Speaker 5: what's so interesting about this movie is that the titular,
Speaker 5: you know, the same the killer becomes the most the
Speaker 5: least interesting part of it. And that's just ingenius to
Speaker 5: or the attestament to Spike Lee's genius. Even if you
Speaker 5: want to look at like Adrian Brodie's character, you can
Speaker 5: analyze his character alone over and over again, John Loguzamo,
Speaker 5: and this movie shot and beautifully beautifully, so to dive
Speaker 5: into this, this is one in my pile here that
Speaker 5: would be I feel overwhelming in research and one that
Speaker 5: would be like, I feel like I would have a
Speaker 5: couple anxiety attacks storing, but it would be it would
Speaker 5: be worth the deep dive.
Speaker 4: You know what I mean. I actually might take that
Speaker 4: deep dive just for the shit of it.
Speaker 5: You know what I mean. Nice, But yeah, that's my
Speaker 5: second pick.
Speaker 3: I adore this movie primarily not only because of this,
Speaker 3: but it definitely excels at being a truly sweaty movie
Speaker 3: for obvious reasons that have to deal with the plot.
Speaker 3: But for many movies, they don't go through the like
Speaker 3: the process of making people look so lived in and
Speaker 3: filthy in those moments. Yeah, the Cali Kid says the
Speaker 3: audio commentary track by Gretty Girl, We're going to Barbie's astonishing.
Speaker 2: Fortunately it's only available on the MAX streaming version, not
Speaker 2: on disc. Did not know that. Thanks for the donation,
Speaker 2: Cali Kid. That's that sucks. I wonder is it on
Speaker 2: the UK release that because sometimes they get more extras
Speaker 2: than we do.
Speaker 5: Man, I want to know who who is what streaming
Speaker 5: movies on Max interested in listening to a commentary track.
Speaker 6: I mean hopefully many people. Yeah, I think I hope.
Speaker 6: But that's interesting that it feels like such a physical
Speaker 6: media thing to do, Like somebody that physical media you know,
Speaker 6: So I don't. I don't think of it.
Speaker 5: Same with like when Rob's when they did House of
Speaker 5: a Thousand Corpses only on the digital version of the movie.
Speaker 3: That's like the Netflix a few years ago made a
Speaker 3: big deal Knives Out. They gave a commentary to or
Speaker 3: the second Knives Out, which I think it's the second
Speaker 3: one that they did, but they were like upcoming in
Speaker 3: two weeks. You can stream the audio commentary for this,
Speaker 3: and like, let's do that for every movie. Why why
Speaker 3: are we only doing it for that? Like I understand
Speaker 3: the streaming model to a point, and that we're gonna
Speaker 3: have streaming direct films, let's let's treat them properly. A
Speaker 3: lot of these people's thoughts need to be archived for
Speaker 3: all time. Come on, yeah, I absolutely agree. All right,
Speaker 3: my next one, you actually brought him up as a filmmaker.
Speaker 3: I would love and many people that know me, I've
Speaker 3: talked about this film far too many times. Red State
Speaker 3: by Kevin Smith is my favorite Kevin Smith film, and personally,
Speaker 3: I would love to sit here and set up a
Speaker 3: commentary where I just moderate with him. And obviously Kevin
Speaker 3: Smith is a talker. I probably would only get a
Speaker 3: couple questions in, but he is somebody that I would
Speaker 3: love to hear him looking back on this from a
Speaker 3: decade later and thinking what happened, what came from it,
Speaker 3: the fallout from it, the marketing behind it, why his
Speaker 3: style changed so much for a couple of films, primarily
Speaker 3: starting with this movie. But really, I mean, there's so
Speaker 3: much to cover that happened after this that he probably
Speaker 3: if it had happened before he made the movie, probably
Speaker 3: would have been referenced in some ways, like the shootings
Speaker 3: down in Texas and a lot of the other things
Speaker 3: that are just full blown national tragedies.
Speaker 2: That we know by name, like Columbine nowadays.
Speaker 3: Obviously many of those had happened before this came out,
Speaker 3: but there's been a couple more that I guarantee he
Speaker 3: would have loved to have had, you know, in the
Speaker 3: mind of people as they watch this movie, and it
Speaker 3: does seem that Westboro Baptist Church, now that their leader
Speaker 3: Fred Phelps has been dead for a few years, they
Speaker 3: don't seem as much of a nuisance. And I say
Speaker 3: that as somebody that lives like fifty two minutes from
Speaker 3: their headquarters, I believe so they used to be here
Speaker 3: all the time. We're talking, like a policeman would be
Speaker 3: killed and they would show up to picket the funeral.
Speaker 3: I would I would love to hear Kevin Smith talk
Speaker 3: about this movie in detail with me, just fangler fangirling
Speaker 3: with him, and yeah, I agree with Kevin. I can't
Speaker 3: remember a time when Kevin Smith has done a commentary
Speaker 3: since Clerk's to other than the four thirty movie they
Speaker 3: just came out.
Speaker 5: Did He's It's funny. I was telling my wife today
Speaker 5: that he was on the Criterion closet and the first
Speaker 5: comment because there's videos are five minutes or less. The
Speaker 5: first comment released to Kevin smith Cutt is no way
Speaker 5: this dude talk for five minutes. And Red sty is
Speaker 5: such a cool movie because it feels for as for
Speaker 5: as extremes that movie seems. I remember the first time
Speaker 5: I saw it, Ben thinking like, I don't know, I
Speaker 5: could see this happening like right now, like this could
Speaker 5: be a true story and I wouldn't I wouldn't question
Speaker 5: its reality.
Speaker 2: Yeah, none of it is like far fetched in any
Speaker 2: way at all.
Speaker 5: Yeah. Yeah, so my next choice is a little extreme.
Speaker 5: I do want to uh, I want I want to
Speaker 5: warn you because a lot of people don't know about
Speaker 5: this movie, and the people who do know about this
Speaker 5: movie have some crazy opinions on it. And the commentary
Speaker 5: that I would want to do would be with the director.
Speaker 5: But people are gonna be like, this guy's a nutcase.
Speaker 5: This is a movie that I've fallen in love with.
Speaker 5: It's the portraits of Andrea Palmer.
Speaker 4: All right, all right, I bet you, I bet you.
Speaker 4: You weren't expecting that.
Speaker 3: No, I mean, when you hear I was ready to
Speaker 3: hear the you know, one of the five ones that
Speaker 3: everybody goes to but yeah, honestly, this is not a
Speaker 3: bad pick.
Speaker 4: No, Okay, so this was a complete blind by for me.
Speaker 5: I'm not the biggest fan of what Grindhouse does, but
Speaker 5: I picked this up on a sale because I had
Speaker 5: heard some things. And I'm very because there's another pick
Speaker 5: in my pile. I'm very open to certain extremities, right
Speaker 5: and like, tell your story. And I'm not one of
Speaker 5: those people who's very I mean, I've showed off the
Speaker 5: lover you know, now, you know, so like, obviously I'm
Speaker 5: not sensitive this stuff. And I think Portraits of Andrea
Speaker 5: Palmer is a movie that is incredibly heavy handed.
Speaker 4: In his story.
Speaker 5: It's it's supposed to tell, and it's a movie that's
Speaker 5: not meant to be glorified as like Happy or any
Speaker 5: The movie is dreadful from beginning to end, and it
Speaker 5: is not shy away from what it wants to do.
Speaker 5: But it's a movie that also is visually incredibly interesting
Speaker 5: because of how it was shot. And to me, I'm
Speaker 5: more interested in getting in the mind of someone who
Speaker 5: can get to this level and tell this kind of
Speaker 5: a story. That's what I would want to do. I
Speaker 5: would just want to sit down with the director and
Speaker 5: let the movie play, and I believe it was I'm
Speaker 5: forgetting let's see forgetting her name and I can't see
Speaker 5: because I don't have enough light on in here. But yeah,
Speaker 5: would just love to love to pick up. I mean, honestly,
Speaker 5: at this point, I guess I would be happy just
Speaker 5: sitting down for an hour and fifteen minutes and talking
Speaker 5: to her. But when we were when I was sitting
Speaker 5: in front of the collection thinking about this question, that
Speaker 5: movie kept going to me and I was like, do
Speaker 5: I pick this? And yeah, because it's a horror movie.
Speaker 5: It's it's a harrowing, incredibly harrowing harmony. Have you ever
Speaker 5: seen it?
Speaker 3: Yes, it's it's not bad as far as extreme movies goes,
Speaker 3: but it's certainly for me at least, not one that
Speaker 3: I would rewatch. And it's not just because it's extreme.
Speaker 3: I've watched multiple extreme movies a couple of times, but
Speaker 3: it's just it's not top tier for me. But I
Speaker 3: totally get why somebody would truly love it.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean there's an audience for it, Like it
Speaker 5: has a really nice release and it was ever put
Speaker 5: into this, so there is an audience for it. And
Speaker 5: I've read some I've gotten into some forums and seen
Speaker 5: people who have talked about it, but it's one of
Speaker 5: those movies that I kind of feel like there's a
Speaker 5: part of me that heavily believes that film is meant
Speaker 5: to be challenging and there needs to be stories that
Speaker 5: are told in this in this way, like this unflinching, unnerving.
Speaker 4: Viewpoint to get their their point across.
Speaker 5: And this one just works so well that I would
Speaker 5: want to sit down and just you know, pick her
Speaker 5: brain on it.
Speaker 3: Ronnie pointed out, Ronnie does a lot to promote TV stuff,
Speaker 3: so thank you for this, Ronnie. Kevin Smith did a
Speaker 3: commentary for a Supergirl episode that he directed on the
Speaker 3: season two set, which is super cool.
Speaker 2: I've honestly not seen the.
Speaker 3: Supergirl show at all yet, but I've wanted to because
Speaker 3: of his involvement, So thank you. My third pick, this
Speaker 3: is gonna be an interesting one, and I have to
Speaker 3: ask if you've seen this before I do much.
Speaker 2: Have you seen one cut.
Speaker 5: Of the Dead when it first came out.
Speaker 3: Yes, Okay, so I'm going to do something that I've
Speaker 3: not done on the channel before here. If you have
Speaker 3: never seen one cut of the Dead, I want you
Speaker 3: to listen to me right now, and I'm going to
Speaker 3: tell you to mute your phone, your TV, your computer,
Speaker 3: whatever you're watching this on, and I'm gonna put up
Speaker 3: this background or disconnected spoilers, and then after I'm done
Speaker 3: talking about I will take this down and go back
Speaker 3: to the normal one, and then you can unmute it.
Speaker 3: Because this is a movie that you cannot have spoiled
Speaker 3: for you and enjoy. So one cut of the Dead,
Speaker 3: this is my choice, the last chance here. If you
Speaker 3: haven't muted yet, please mute if you've not seen it.
Speaker 3: One cut of the Dead, obviously is a fake out movie.
Speaker 3: Like you watch the first I don't even think it's
Speaker 3: a full half hour, It's like twenty five minutes or whatever,
Speaker 3: where they show you this zombie film and then they
Speaker 3: show you that they were making a movie and that
Speaker 3: it wasn't a zombie film, and then they fake you
Speaker 3: out and all that. I would love to sit here
Speaker 3: with the round table of filmmakers doing a commentary just
Speaker 3: gushing over the filmmaking power behind this movie because it
Speaker 3: took so much hard work to do this. I want
Speaker 3: to get some of the biggest names and just moderate them, going.
Speaker 2: How the fuck did they think to do this? This
Speaker 2: is incredible.
Speaker 3: I would so be stoked to just sit in a
Speaker 3: room of filmmakers giving respect to this tiny indie movie.
Speaker 3: That is amazing, That is like innovative. That is beyond incredible.
Speaker 3: And if you have again not seen it, you were
Speaker 3: missing something so great. But the power of completely manipulating
Speaker 3: your audience on purpose and then showing all the things
Speaker 3: that you were hiding, but doing it where it looks
Speaker 3: like it's one cut is so perfect. I can't imagine
Speaker 3: sitting there with like three the best directors of all
Speaker 3: time and not just going crazy for it.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's a and there's supposed to be a remake
Speaker 5: of that.
Speaker 3: There is a remake. There's I think it was like
Speaker 3: Dutch or German or something. Keino released it. Okay, I
Speaker 3: cannot believe I can do this. I don't know if
Speaker 3: this is it. I bought it in one of the
Speaker 3: recent sales. It was not that title, but it's not
Speaker 3: within arms reach.
Speaker 4: Okay. I just didn't know if the remake did the same.
Speaker 3: I believe it does, but I believe it's not quite
Speaker 3: as well done.
Speaker 5: Typical typical.
Speaker 2: Yeah it's French, says KB.
Speaker 4: Okay, it's French, okay.
Speaker 3: And then they did the one cut of the Dead
Speaker 3: Hollywood something. I've not seen that new thing that they
Speaker 3: added to it or whatever whatever. The original solid like
Speaker 3: one hour film is amazing, perfect film.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's a good one. Damn dude. Your choices I
Speaker 5: feel like are blown mine away.
Speaker 3: All right, spoiler Banner's gone, welcome back, everybody, turn up
Speaker 3: your volume. No, my choices aren't blown in there. I
Speaker 3: mean these are all these are all valid, All choices
Speaker 3: are valid here.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, well I have one. I'm currently reading Naked
Speaker 5: Theater and Uncensored Horror, which is the Stuart Gordon biography
Speaker 5: right now. Yeah, and it's fantastic because you know, he's
Speaker 5: a filmmaker who has an incredibly rich and interesting past
Speaker 5: and his involvement from theater into film I didn't know about,
Speaker 5: but it's it's incredible. But one movie is that I
Speaker 5: feel like kind of gets like overlooked. You know, you
Speaker 5: have your re animator, you have dolls. Here's so much
Speaker 5: of what he does. But for me, I would love
Speaker 5: to just sit down and geek out about Castle Freak. Yes,
Speaker 5: like the fact alone, to have a conversation about shooting
Speaker 5: this in Charles Bands Castle.
Speaker 4: Is a crazy thing in itself, Like.
Speaker 5: This movie to me feels you have obviously Barbara Crampton's back,
Speaker 5: Jeffrey Combs back, you know, the typical crew, and they
Speaker 5: have such an odd relationlationship here with her distress of
Speaker 5: Jeffrey Combs at all. I don't want to get too
Speaker 5: crazy into it, but.
Speaker 4: I don't want to.
Speaker 5: I want to sit down with some other like big
Speaker 5: Stuart Gordon fans and kind of talk about where this,
Speaker 5: how this fits in his filmography, because to me, this
Speaker 5: movie feels a little more in a weird way, like uh.
Speaker 4: Like prestigious.
Speaker 5: It's not as funny as re Animator, It's not as
Speaker 5: silly as Dolls.
Speaker 4: It takes itself very seriously.
Speaker 5: The monster is a genuinely scary and unnerving Yeah, it's
Speaker 5: really gross. The Jeffrey Comb's character is like incredibly conflicting,
Speaker 5: and you feel terrible for Barbara Crampton. It's a movie
Speaker 5: that is just an incredible piece of his filmography for
Speaker 5: me that I want to sit down with just a
Speaker 5: bunch of other Stuart Gordon fans and talk about kind
Speaker 5: of how this, how this fits, and the reason I
Speaker 5: brought that one up specifically because I love it, and
Speaker 5: every single time I talk about Stuart Gordon, everyone's like, oh,
Speaker 5: re Animator, that's that's where everybody goes kind of instantly,
Speaker 5: and nobody talks about Castle Freak. And it's one of
Speaker 5: the few Gordon movies that doesn't have a commentary already, right,
Speaker 5: which is which is real crazy to me because it's
Speaker 5: such a great movie.
Speaker 2: So I adore this movie.
Speaker 3: This movie is gross and fun and so authentic in
Speaker 3: what it's trying to accomplish and it yeah, this is
Speaker 3: a fun, fun choice.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and I wonder too, Like my thing is that
Speaker 5: this is one of the non HP Lovecraft adapted, like
Speaker 5: one of the few that Gordon did that wasn't based
Speaker 5: on that and for the like, the premise is not
Speaker 5: incredibly originally give a monster that has been neglected, stuck
Speaker 5: in a castle, hanging out, knocking his castle. Yeah, and
Speaker 5: he's he's hungry, he gets out and he goes on
Speaker 5: his killing spree.
Speaker 4: But it handles it so well.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and it also is like everybody else and like
Speaker 5: you said, it's nasty as hell, it still manages to
Speaker 5: get in this sleeve, you know, the scene and the
Speaker 5: wine cellar It's just a such an interesting little moment
Speaker 5: in Gordon's filmography that I would love to dive into
Speaker 5: a little bit deeper.
Speaker 3: I agree, Yeah, this is this is a good time.
Speaker 3: Cali Kid in the chat. Thank you again for the donation.
Speaker 3: Here can we get some audio commentary tracks for Quentin Tarantino,
Speaker 3: Paul Thomas Anderson, the Scorsese movies, Gregi Gerwy commentary. Barbie
Speaker 3: shows me audio commentary tracks aren't dead. I mean, they're
Speaker 3: clearly not dead. There's more people doing commentaries now than
Speaker 3: ever before. I have a feeling we're probably a gal
Speaker 3: that was not a word. We're probably about to get
Speaker 3: some Paul Thomas Anderson releases and upgrades for some of
Speaker 3: his stuff, and it would be the perfect time to
Speaker 3: get some people in there on those. Yeah, I honestly say,
Speaker 3: Mike says, we wish we could have gotten Michael Mann
Speaker 3: commentary and the keep if he liked the movie, that
Speaker 3: probably would have been possible.
Speaker 5: There there was this interesting period And tell me if
Speaker 5: you remember, because I think this was like the Zack
Speaker 5: Snyder Watchmen era where directors would do it would typically
Speaker 5: be a bonus feature or it would be like a
Speaker 5: watch along where I remember during Watchmen there was moments
Speaker 5: where like it would go to Zack Snyder, who was
Speaker 5: at this table, and then he would break down sequences.
Speaker 5: So it wasn't like a full on commentary, but he
Speaker 5: would go in and I feel like that's the level
Speaker 5: that you would kind of have to get if you're
Speaker 5: talking about Paul Thomas Anderson or like Quentin Tarantino. I
Speaker 5: feel like to accurately get a great commentary from them
Speaker 5: would be pausing them, pausing the movie and going on
Speaker 5: for twenty minutes additional about a scene, and then playing
Speaker 5: the movie again. You know what I mean.
Speaker 3: Yeah, So, Last Movie Standing brought up that Hush Mike
Speaker 3: Flannagan did a video commentary for this release, and honestly,
Speaker 3: words out of my mouth what I was going to
Speaker 3: say right after Chris just said that instead of the
Speaker 3: breaking down the scenes, I bring back the whole idea
Speaker 3: of the picture and picture commentary bring in I want
Speaker 3: to see the director, the writer, and then maybe like
Speaker 3: the one or two top built stars just sitting on
Speaker 3: one side of a table and discussing super imposed over
Speaker 3: the film so I can see what they're seeing and
Speaker 3: just shoot the whole thing if they need to take
Speaker 3: a break every twenty five minutes. Sure, that's great, you
Speaker 3: can totally cut. It's not like we're going to complain
Speaker 3: about that, but I would love to be able to
Speaker 3: see them talk about it. And honestly, it gives all
Speaker 3: of us more of an incentive to watch the film
Speaker 3: again with the commentary other than just listening. Because right now,
Speaker 3: with the whole audio commentary thing, I'm gonna shout out
Speaker 3: my guys in def Crocodile again. We are putting out
Speaker 3: audio commentaries as podcast episodes, and I wish everybody would
Speaker 3: do that because now I don't have to sit at
Speaker 3: the TV and watch the film again.
Speaker 2: I get the.
Speaker 3: Freedom to be able to do it elsewhere. But now
Speaker 3: if I have the video commentary, there's an incentive. There's
Speaker 3: like a bonus to sit there and watch them. That
Speaker 3: sounds that almost sounds more fun. Yeah, I feel like
Speaker 3: that Hush release was.
Speaker 2: Such a.
Speaker 5: Like to have multiple cuts a video commentary like that.
Speaker 5: To me, what Screen Factory and Mike Fanagan did with
Speaker 5: that was perfection. They brought back things that we haven't
Speaker 5: seen in a while. When was the last time, Like,
Speaker 5: you know, we get multiple cuts all the time, but
Speaker 5: to have three radically different cuts of black and white cut,
Speaker 5: a brand new hush cut, the original cut in the
Speaker 5: movie video commentaries like to me bonus feature and presentation
Speaker 5: was perfect on that and it was.
Speaker 3: A film that not only was like, hey, look at
Speaker 3: this fancy new edition, it made the leap from streaming
Speaker 3: to disc and it was the first time. And that's
Speaker 3: a huge fucking deal to be able to get something
Speaker 3: like that.
Speaker 5: Oh my god, it's a massive deal. And you can
Speaker 5: tell you can just look at that release and tell
Speaker 5: that Flanagan fucking loves that movie and love what he
Speaker 5: did with it. And you know, I first when I
Speaker 5: heard he got the rights to it and he was
Speaker 5: waiting to announce a label, I was like, okay, I
Speaker 5: have a family. It's gonna be Screen Factory. I was
Speaker 5: expecting like an Arrow or something like that. But I
Speaker 5: think Screen Factory handled it really well. And I think
Speaker 5: that's because they had Flannagan on their side saying, hey, look,
Speaker 5: we need to put this in and I'm going to invest.
Speaker 5: Because it's also the director needs to invest the time.
Speaker 5: The director needs to come back and say yes, I
Speaker 5: am interested in doing this or putting in the effort
Speaker 5: to help you achieve this, and Flannigan clearly did that,
Speaker 5: and that's very apparent on the final release that we got.
Speaker 3: Reservoir wants to point out Mike Flanagan is also doing
Speaker 3: a commentary movie podcast with movies cast and directors, which
Speaker 3: is awesome. And yeah, I think I posted about that
Speaker 3: in the last Physical Media Advocate, or maybe the one
Speaker 3: before that, like right after they announced that I was publishing,
Speaker 3: and so I added it to at the last moment
Speaker 3: scope that that's coming.
Speaker 5: His one with Radio Silence for Ready or Not is
Speaker 5: incredible and I actually revisited Ready or Not for that
Speaker 5: and the fact that he does an episode that's sort
Speaker 5: of like a conversation beforehand leading up to the commentary.
Speaker 4: It's such a great concept.
Speaker 3: Cali Kids says, commentary tracks my favorite bonus feature. I
Speaker 3: think a lot of us would agree. Lately, my favorite
Speaker 3: is visual essays, but I totally I mean, if I
Speaker 3: could listen to commentaries anywhere.
Speaker 2: I would do that all the time. I would all like,
Speaker 2: I would never listen to a podcast again. I would
Speaker 2: just listen to commentaries. Yeah, Sibner listening to His favorites
Speaker 2: are Cruel Intentions.
Speaker 3: And American Pie and Nice all right, my fourth pick,
Speaker 3: This one is probably the most silly on my list.
Speaker 3: But these last two that I'm gonna talk about are
Speaker 3: just simply because I love the movies basically, And this
Speaker 3: is the silliest of my five, and that is Tremor's four.
Speaker 3: This is Tremor's four back to Perfection. This is the
Speaker 3: Old West Tremors that they did, where it's from like
Speaker 3: the eighteen hundreds, and growing up in the desert near
Speaker 3: like an old silver mining town where I did, and
Speaker 3: I used to go. We talked about this on your
Speaker 3: show just a couple of days ago. I used to
Speaker 3: go hang out in the mines and everything. I adore
Speaker 3: Tremors for because I feel like I've lived some of
Speaker 3: this movie without the monsters, and I want to just
Speaker 3: talk about the Tremors franchise because it's one of my
Speaker 3: favorite franchises in horror history, and this one is just fun.
Speaker 3: To have people playing these like ancestral versions of themselves
Speaker 3: and see the monsters attack people eighteen hundreds where they
Speaker 3: don't have technology to deal with things. That is going
Speaker 3: to be a blast to talk about. So yeah, I mean,
Speaker 3: we're never gonna get commentaries for all of the Tremors films,
Speaker 3: and I want to do part four, so let's freaking
Speaker 3: do it.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you think we'll reach the Era Video limited Edition
Speaker 5: boxet to part four or do you think that's already
Speaker 5: done because we have one in two.
Speaker 3: I don't think so. I'd like that to be the case.
Speaker 3: But I mean, once we start getting like Napoleon Dynamite
Speaker 3: and the weird movie guy from Scream starring in these,
Speaker 3: that's a little weird for some of these. I love
Speaker 3: them still, they're cheesiest hell, but yeah, definitely definitely.
Speaker 2: A little weird. Yeah.
Speaker 5: I've never seen Tremors four, so it's a masterpiece. Okay,
Speaker 5: I'm gonna watch it now just because you said that.
Speaker 5: That's all just because you said that. So moving on
Speaker 5: to my last one, and I want to give contact
Speaker 5: to this one because there's there's so much. It's a
Speaker 5: see That's why we watch Commed, That's why we listen
Speaker 5: to the commentaries.
Speaker 4: It's pure example why why we list in the commentaries.
Speaker 2: There.
Speaker 5: There was a weird little period of my life. And
Speaker 5: we've talked about this this box set. We like, certain
Speaker 5: filmmakers are are very divisive people. People love them, people
Speaker 5: hate them, but at the end of the day, like
Speaker 5: you have to appreciate their vision. And I'm talking about
Speaker 5: Lars von Treyer specifically here probably the most divisive, one
Speaker 5: of the most divisive filmmakers out there. But I remember
Speaker 5: scrolling on Netflix and coming across this movie becoming absolutely
Speaker 5: obsessed with it. Well equally, I think this was one
Speaker 5: of my hardest viewing experiences the first time I saw it.
Speaker 5: And I'm talking about the double Nymphomaniac movies, which, like, again,
Speaker 5: I bet you nobody expected this to come into the conversation.
Speaker 5: We've carried, We've covered now portraits of Andrea Palmer and Nymphomaniac.
Speaker 2: One.
Speaker 3: You know what is great about this is just last
Speaker 3: night I recorded a show for somebody Else's podcast and
Speaker 3: one of my discoveries of the year is the Nymphomaniac
Speaker 3: double feature because I loved this so much.
Speaker 5: Dude, there is no okay, I mean, if you to
Speaker 5: even dive into the extent of storytelling here, this is
Speaker 5: a movie. Within twenty minutes, you get a blistering heavy
Speaker 5: metal score over beautiful rain shots in the beginning, and
Speaker 5: then you have have a Now you watch the director's cuts, right,
Speaker 5: you watched the okay, all right, good within within like
Speaker 5: the first hour of this movie. We you have heavy Metal,
Speaker 5: you have Stellin Scar's guard on. I think what his
Speaker 5: his second feature with Lars Montrea. I know we did
Speaker 5: Breaking the Waves.
Speaker 2: Might even be a third.
Speaker 5: And I do want to reply to at comment that
Speaker 5: that just came up. If you if you watch Nyfomaniac
Speaker 5: one or two and and get turned on in any
Speaker 5: remote way, I'm concerned for your mental health considerably. But yeah,
Speaker 5: so Lars Montrere is such an interesting filmmaker to me.
Speaker 5: He's somebody who I feel like you can analyze almost
Speaker 5: every single frame of his movie and find something to discuss.
Speaker 5: But it's also the evolution of storytelling through Niphomaniac one
Speaker 5: to two because all the characters carry over. But there's
Speaker 5: a really interesting trauma and plot that kicks off in
Speaker 5: part two that is devastating. It is incredibly hard to watch.
Speaker 5: It's told in an unflinching style. But Lars von Treyer
Speaker 5: has a visual style that's kind of like unlike anybody
Speaker 5: kind of more in modern day films, like he nothing
Speaker 5: is to the imagination right, And there is a couple
Speaker 5: of bonus features on the Blu ray of the director's
Speaker 5: cut that talks about things like how they addressed the
Speaker 5: very real sex stuff and how they pulled it off.
Speaker 5: And that's incredibly interesting from a production standpoint to me,
Speaker 5: of how you figure this stuff out. To have somebody
Speaker 5: like Shia above in this movie in the way that
Speaker 5: he's in this movie is incredibly interesting. And I don't
Speaker 5: know who I would want to do this commentary with.
Speaker 5: I don't I don't know. I feel like I would
Speaker 5: just want to sit in a room with a microphone
Speaker 5: and just kind of like go at it as it happens,
Speaker 5: you know what I mean, Because it's a movie that
Speaker 5: I've I've seen now three or four times. It's a
Speaker 5: movie I've seen three or four times, and every single
Speaker 5: time I see it, my opinion greatly increases and I
Speaker 5: find more stuff I didn't see before. And to me,
Speaker 5: it's a it's a it's a masterpiece that too many
Speaker 5: people look at on the surface and.
Speaker 3: Judge, which it's easy to obviously, especially for Prudis anyway.
Speaker 3: And I mean when the marketing is character posters of
Speaker 3: everybody doing their own o fase, like he knew what
Speaker 3: he was doing for this movie.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah. The whole idea is get people interested and
Speaker 5: then and fucking the stone cold stun them into the floor, you.
Speaker 4: Know what I mean?
Speaker 5: Like there there are moments in this movie that are
Speaker 5: so there's there. There's like a thirty.
Speaker 2: Five right left. You just have you picturing Steve Austin
Speaker 2: being in there.
Speaker 5: You're like dude in the first in the first. In
Speaker 5: Infomenic Volume one, there's like a forty minute sequence with
Speaker 5: Uma Thurman that is so incredibly uncomfortable. It's so and
Speaker 5: it never ends. It keeps going and keeps going to
Speaker 5: a point where like you almost want to start fast
Speaker 5: forwarding just to get just to get past. And we
Speaker 5: talked about horror, like we we basically picked horror movies.
Speaker 5: Volume two to me is a straight up horror movie. Yeah. Uh,
Speaker 5: it gets really, really really dark. And if you've seen
Speaker 5: Anti Christ or you've seen Breaking the Waves, it's kind
Speaker 5: of a perfect combination of the two of those.
Speaker 4: It it really is.
Speaker 5: And Yeah, when I was thinking about this, I was like,
Speaker 5: this is a movie I would love to just sit
Speaker 5: with a microphone and go on about I don't know, everybody,
Speaker 5: look out. Me and Ryan are gonna do a commentary
Speaker 5: on the four K release of Ninpho Maniac one and two.
Speaker 3: There is nothing as intimidating as a four hour and
Speaker 3: twenty three minute commentary about nothing but sexual taboo topics.
Speaker 3: It sounds amazing, but also, holy shit, am I intimidated?
Speaker 5: We're like, yeah, in this scene we're watching, here is
Speaker 5: a montage of different types of dick.
Speaker 2: This is.
Speaker 3: So for the next twenty minutes, she's she's planning and
Speaker 3: performing this medical procedure on her Yeah. Yeah, I mean,
Speaker 3: this is a truly stupendous pick. Glad to see that
Speaker 3: it's your last one. What's really funny, Like I said,
Speaker 3: I talked about Nyfomniac literally last night while sitting in
Speaker 3: this very chair, but I almost picked as my final
Speaker 3: pick tonight was almost the house the Jack built because that.
Speaker 2: Movie is still the one for him that I don't know.
Speaker 3: I hate to say, like it is my favorite film
Speaker 3: from Lars von Trier because it's so frickin' heinous, but
Speaker 3: it's maybe my favorite film from Lars von Trier, and
Speaker 3: it's it's crazy. I mean, the way that he gets
Speaker 3: things on camera and doesn't flinch from anything, and I
Speaker 3: mean there are certain things in the House the Jack
Speaker 3: built that I would want to pause and just discuss
Speaker 3: the mindset that goes into it, like the I mean,
Speaker 3: I should almost put up the spoilers banner again for this.
Speaker 3: But the scene in the House of the Jack built
Speaker 3: where he poses the two bodies that people first of
Speaker 3: all are shocked that they showed him killing on screen,
Speaker 3: but then he goes through the trouble to move things
Speaker 3: and make them look comfortable like a family photo. Like
Speaker 3: that alone is something crazy to get on camera.
Speaker 5: And yeah, yeah, or even that first his and it's
Speaker 5: not a spoiler, his first kill is again, it keeps
Speaker 5: going and it brings up it goes against all of
Speaker 5: the rules of death in cinema, in movies being like
Speaker 5: this real quick, you know, like gunshot that the leg
Speaker 5: and people were dead, and the fact that it just
Speaker 5: keeps going and going.
Speaker 4: To even think.
Speaker 5: About that and to break that down it is to me,
Speaker 5: it's almost like the scene when Anton kills the the
Speaker 5: cop in the beginning of No Country for Old Men,
Speaker 5: how it just keeps going and going. And I remember
Speaker 5: watching a thing with the Coen Brothers talking about how
Speaker 5: how long it takes to strangle somebody, and that was
Speaker 5: the purpose of that scene. That's why that camera pans
Speaker 5: down from the ceiling so slow, because they really wanted
Speaker 5: to sell how long it takes, And that to me
Speaker 5: is a crazy he thought just in itself, you know
Speaker 5: what I mean, and then to translate that and put
Speaker 5: that into a movie is nuts.
Speaker 3: Terry is asking, so I'll ask, do I start with
Speaker 3: Dogville or Nymphomaniac if you've never seen any Lars von Trier.
Speaker 3: I mean, I would say start with neither one of those.
Speaker 3: There are first off, he's done a lot of films,
Speaker 3: but there's also some that if you watch Dogville or
Speaker 3: Niphomniac first, I fear you may not want to continue
Speaker 3: into some of the others. I think the the likely
Speaker 3: best answer for this is probably Dancer in the Dark
Speaker 3: to your melancholia. Yeah, it's like you're being welcomed into
Speaker 3: the family and then everything else will terry with the
Speaker 3: needs and you'll be stuck there.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think I think you can really get into
Speaker 5: Lars von Treer and the opening scene of Antichrist.
Speaker 2: So anyways, my last pick here.
Speaker 3: Like I said, these last two are kind of just
Speaker 3: movies I love and I want to talk about them.
Speaker 3: I truly feel like the work of this director is
Speaker 3: made for me, almost like it matches all of my sensibilities.
Speaker 3: And I love it, maybe almost more than anything as
Speaker 3: a whole from any filmmaker. And we don't have a
Speaker 3: boutique release of it, and we have a boutique of
Speaker 3: everything else that isn't just a streaming film now. So
Speaker 3: I'm gonna say I would love to do, and I'm
Speaker 3: going to be very specific here, a four K second
Speaker 3: site release of Blue Ruin by Jeremy Solnier, And I
Speaker 3: would love to do that commentary with Jeremy and talk
Speaker 3: about Revenge and the South and the area of the
Speaker 3: country that he is filming in where it feels like
Speaker 3: you could have said that that was almost any state
Speaker 3: and it looks like, yeah, I could see that being
Speaker 3: in the state just magically pulls it off. That it's
Speaker 3: almost like this locationless setting because it's so nondescript in
Speaker 3: a way and it's just green. Blue Ruin is such
Speaker 3: this harrowing tale of somebody taking a bad morning and
Speaker 3: dealing with it the best that they possibly could. I
Speaker 3: truly love the performance in this from somebody that has
Speaker 3: now turned into himself an incredible filmmaker with making Blair,
Speaker 3: and I would love to hear how Jeremy Solnier feels
Speaker 3: now looking back going from something like Murder Party to
Speaker 3: this and then watching things explode for.
Speaker 2: Him with Green Room and then Less Hold the Dark.
Speaker 3: But you know, this year, he's got a lot of
Speaker 3: attention with what he just did on Netflix, and I
Speaker 3: feel like this is one that now needs a special
Speaker 3: place on our shelves if we're gonna truly appreciate what
Speaker 3: I think is a modern, truly incredible, very unique filmmaker.
Speaker 3: He has some sort of incredible style. And what's crazy
Speaker 3: is now that people are discovering Murder Party, you can
Speaker 3: see pieces of green Room in Murder Party. You can
Speaker 3: see some of the establishing shots that he has in
Speaker 3: green Room. He is able to pull that off like
Speaker 3: in his very first film. I truly think he is
Speaker 3: somebody that has almost spent his entire career so far
Speaker 3: as like this fully realized filmmaker and a lot of
Speaker 3: people they need to get there, they need a couple
Speaker 3: that will help them sort of shake off the ice
Speaker 3: before they can get into that next level.
Speaker 2: And he's just always been there.
Speaker 3: And it might just be me being biased because I
Speaker 3: love a shit, but Blue Ruin deserves a lot of attention.
Speaker 3: It deserves it deserves to be in the pantheon with
Speaker 3: great revenge films, and I would love to be a.
Speaker 2: Part of it.
Speaker 5: Yeah, there is a it's really shocking that we don't
Speaker 5: have a good release a Blue Ruin. That that's incredibly
Speaker 5: shocking to me.
Speaker 2: And I think the Blue is even out of print
Speaker 2: now too.
Speaker 5: Yeah, like knowing knowing that we have green Room on
Speaker 5: four K, and I get it. Green Room is more
Speaker 5: mass appeal, but you know, ever since, ever since then,
Speaker 5: he's been doing Netflix stuff and I haven't seen Rebel
Speaker 5: Ridge yet, but I've heard it's very good.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's what I've heard.
Speaker 5: Green Room. He has an incredible sense of and I'm
Speaker 5: trying to figure out how to put it. There is
Speaker 5: this in between of of of.
Speaker 4: Of time that I feel like a lot of people
Speaker 4: don't shoot in.
Speaker 5: So there's there's like this, there's this time and like
Speaker 5: with sunset, where a lot of times you see the
Speaker 5: golden hour, you see the sun, but there's this interesting
Speaker 5: moment where color seems to disappear, the sky is not
Speaker 5: as beautiful as it is. Things are getting dark, but
Speaker 5: they're not fully there yet, and I feel like Jeremy
Speaker 5: Salnier lives there. Yeah, because green Room consistently feels like
Speaker 5: that five thirty am days to me, where like it
Speaker 5: just feels like a weird hour and it's such a
Speaker 5: specific feeling that even me saying this probably doesn't make
Speaker 5: sense for a lot of people. And so you watch
Speaker 5: the movie and you're like, oh, wait a second, I
Speaker 5: know what this is. And it's been a long time
Speaker 5: since I seen Blue Room. And I actually saw it
Speaker 5: before green Room on some sort of streaming service. It
Speaker 5: was on, it was on something, and I remember thinking
Speaker 5: it had been a long time since they saw a
Speaker 5: revenge movie that to me was portrayed so realistic.
Speaker 3: So this is another one, like I mentioned earlier, that
Speaker 3: is just sweaty. These people feel like it's humid here
Speaker 3: and it's pissing me off. And so I'm extra irritated
Speaker 3: with what you did to ruin my life. And so
Speaker 3: now I'm gonna park up in this double wide trailer
Speaker 3: and I got the shotgun ready, and you are fucked,
Speaker 3: and it makes all of it just feel exacerbated. It's
Speaker 3: more earnest. It's like you can feel the shorts clinging to.
Speaker 2: The back of his knees as he gets out of
Speaker 2: the truck type of scene.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and that's exactly he did the same thing in
Speaker 5: Green Room and same two. With his style of violence,
Speaker 5: everything feels like real and raw. Like I remember watching
Speaker 5: Green Room with my wife and then the dog attack
Speaker 5: Yep in the venue. I was like, God, this is
Speaker 5: like or even Antony Elchin's arm yep getting cut up
Speaker 5: like it. There's just a And I don't want to
Speaker 5: say it's realistic because I don't know what that looks
Speaker 5: like in reality. But to me, it just has an
Speaker 5: impact to it. And and and it's that it's that
Speaker 5: technical approach, it's the sound design, it's how to shoot it,
Speaker 5: it's it's how to show just enough to sell it.
Speaker 5: It's really Yeah, that arm scene is it's pretty.
Speaker 2: It's pretty rough.
Speaker 4: Yeah that yeah.
Speaker 5: But but even Hold the Sound alone, dude, I didn't
Speaker 5: hate I didn't hate Hold the Dark, and I don't
Speaker 5: remember it now as much, but I remember still thinking
Speaker 5: that it lived in this weird in between that most
Speaker 5: movies don't as far as visual setting. It lived where
Speaker 5: the sun just disappears below the horizon. Things are just
Speaker 5: bright enough for you to see but not dark enough
Speaker 5: to see detail. And I remember genuinely being afraid of
Speaker 5: the wolves and whole I think it was the wolves,
Speaker 5: right yep, and hold, I remember genuinely being being afraid.
Speaker 5: And it's just like that thing I keep thinking about
Speaker 5: every single time I watch or hear of Jeremy Salnier.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I love the way you descry that,
Speaker 3: because absolutely it feels like the sun just disappeared beyond
Speaker 3: behind the horizon and now you've got like any any
Speaker 3: semblance of light left is obscured by trees and buildings,
Speaker 3: and so you're in this like extra bleak, like almost
Speaker 3: like bleached bleached out colors, like fading, and you're holding on.
Speaker 2: It's almost like a desperate time to film.
Speaker 3: Everything feels like, well, we know it's about to get bad,
Speaker 3: and that's why these movies feel worse, because you're already
Speaker 3: feeling the tension of the situation, but also.
Speaker 2: We're about to add dark onto that, like we're screwed.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Yeah, but that's something a lot of people don't like.
Speaker 2: I would.
Speaker 4: I would definitely encourage.
Speaker 5: People to when watching movies, like pay attention to that
Speaker 5: sort of stuff because it adds a different I know
Speaker 5: it's easy to be like, it's easy to look at
Speaker 5: movies and say like, oh, they wanted it to look
Speaker 5: like this, they wanted to look like that.
Speaker 4: Movies, for lack of a better word, don't.
Speaker 5: Feel lit right to me. It feels like natural lighting
Speaker 5: when you're in that venue in green Room, nothing feels
Speaker 5: like there is a lighting setup just outside the frame.
Speaker 5: Everything feels real. It feels like that led light on
Speaker 5: the wall that does not have a glass covering is
Speaker 5: bouncing that way and it's all even outside. Like if
Speaker 5: you look at any shot of Patrick Stewart in green
Speaker 5: and I keep going back to green Room because it's
Speaker 5: a movie I'm most familiar with with him. Every single
Speaker 5: shot of Patrick Stewart, every single shot on the outside
Speaker 5: scenes of green Room, nothing is like deliberately lit. It's
Speaker 5: like the light bouncing off of the wall and everything's
Speaker 5: just that weird. Even like you said, yeah, it's it's
Speaker 5: it's really cool, and it really elevates elevates the movie
Speaker 5: because it feels real and it feels kind of honestly
Speaker 5: a bit like uncomfortable, Like it feels like it's it's
Speaker 5: just that weird, you know how people say, oh, I
Speaker 5: love going out at four am because you know, the
Speaker 5: whole world's asleep. It feels like that weird in between
Speaker 5: time that you're kind of a little uncomfortable in, and
Speaker 5: the whole movie lives right there.
Speaker 2: Yep.
Speaker 3: So well, uh, if you are listening and you have
Speaker 3: not seen any of these, which I'm sure people have
Speaker 3: seen at least some of them, but if you haven't
Speaker 3: seen these two specifically, I think Castle Freak and Blue
Speaker 3: Ruin would make for a really fun double feature.
Speaker 4: I think, uh, I think we could go with.
Speaker 5: Let's see, I think Blue Ruin and uh portraits of
Speaker 5: Andrea Palmer.
Speaker 2: It's a very desperate double feature.
Speaker 4: Oh, just trying to pick, just trying to pick two there.
Speaker 3: Uh well, we'll say, uh if you want to be
Speaker 3: like extra horning NYF Maniac and Tremor's four, there's a
Speaker 3: lot of things going into holes on those.
Speaker 5: And watch Tremors four in between one and two of Mythrominium.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a pallid clutch. Yeah, Art one and two.
Speaker 5: Yeah, finish the finish volume one and then watch Tremers
Speaker 5: four and then go into volume two and make volume
Speaker 5: two better.
Speaker 2: I pro Oh, man, that is hilarious. Well, uh, we
Speaker 2: did it.
Speaker 3: We both listed our five incredible choices on your half.
Speaker 2: Thank you, sir.
