Man appreciate it, of course. 29 00:01:29.400 --> 00:01:31.400 I mean we were just talking about it's been over 30 00:01:31.640 --> 00:01:33.560 like almost exactly two and a half years since the 31 00:01:33.599 --> 00:01:35.120 last time you did anything with the show, and that 32 00:01:35.159 --> 00:01:36.159 feels far too long. 33 00:01:36.280 --> 00:01:38.799 It really does. Yeah, I mean, I love from afar 34 00:01:39.000 --> 00:01:42.040 admiring all that you're doing, and as I've acknowledged in 35 00:01:42.079 --> 00:01:45.040 the past, and so I love how you've been helping 36 00:01:45.079 --> 00:01:48.040 out the Terror Vision guys, getting Ryan and Brad are 37 00:01:48.040 --> 00:01:50.840 putting so much love into what they're doing over there, 38 00:01:51.000 --> 00:01:53.359 and it's been a tremendous period of growth for them 39 00:01:53.400 --> 00:01:56.159 over the last couple of years. I love your live 40 00:01:56.560 --> 00:02:00.799 streams with them, and it's this great kind of like 41 00:02:01.760 --> 00:02:04.760 polar opposites with Brad on one side of the screen 42 00:02:05.439 --> 00:02:07.719 and then Ryan on the other, and Brad's always like 43 00:02:07.799 --> 00:02:10.560 fired up and singing and stuff, and then Ryan's sitting 44 00:02:10.599 --> 00:02:13.800 over there like and then you're in the middle, kind 45 00:02:13.800 --> 00:02:16.319 of like threading the needle between the two of them. 46 00:02:16.360 --> 00:02:17.360 And you do a great job with. 47 00:02:17.400 --> 00:02:20.919 That stuff or orchestrating them as a man. It's a 48 00:02:21.080 --> 00:02:21.840 tough some time. 49 00:02:22.400 --> 00:02:25.960 Well, but it's exciting for what people are getting out 50 00:02:25.960 --> 00:02:28.400 of all of that is really it's like a real 51 00:02:28.479 --> 00:02:31.319 time presentation of the birth of a label. It's not 52 00:02:32.120 --> 00:02:34.879 Ryan's record. Label's been around forever and he's just done 53 00:02:34.879 --> 00:02:38.199 a tremendous job with that. But yeah, you're seeing a 54 00:02:38.319 --> 00:02:42.039 video distribution company come together like before your eyes, and 55 00:02:42.039 --> 00:02:44.599 I think it's just so awesome. I love it. So 56 00:02:44.719 --> 00:02:45.840 that's kind. 57 00:02:45.680 --> 00:02:48.120 Of crazy how they're growing, like released to release and 58 00:02:48.159 --> 00:02:50.680 seeing stuff, you know, for a company that was like, 59 00:02:50.759 --> 00:02:52.479 oh my gosh, they got Video Violence a couple of 60 00:02:52.520 --> 00:02:55.360 years ago, and now it's, oh, they got Student Bodies 61 00:02:55.360 --> 00:02:58.039 four K from Paramount, Like this is a big deal. Yeah. 62 00:02:58.120 --> 00:03:00.400 Yeah, and that's just the beginning. I mean, even back 63 00:03:00.400 --> 00:03:02.599 when I was helping them out, the list of things 64 00:03:02.639 --> 00:03:06.319 that they have in hand is absolutely mind boggling. So 65 00:03:07.039 --> 00:03:09.120 kudos to them and also exciting. Not to make this 66 00:03:09.159 --> 00:03:13.039 a whole terror Vision love fest here, but kudos to 67 00:03:13.400 --> 00:03:17.280 It's exciting that Ryan has his own record press. Now. Yeah, 68 00:03:17.479 --> 00:03:19.800 when you guys were talking about the custom pressings, and 69 00:03:19.840 --> 00:03:21.800 all that. I was like, oh, because that's when I 70 00:03:21.840 --> 00:03:24.280 was working on my record, and I'm thinking, how cool 71 00:03:24.280 --> 00:03:27.520 would that have been to have something as someone who's 72 00:03:27.560 --> 00:03:31.360 buying the music completely customizable like that. I think it's great. 73 00:03:32.280 --> 00:03:34.840 Well, speaking of that, Jake is he wants to talk 74 00:03:34.840 --> 00:03:36.879 about your album. You've had a ton of stuff happened 75 00:03:36.879 --> 00:03:38.240 this year. We'll get to the book, we'll get to 76 00:03:38.400 --> 00:03:40.800 more of the special features, but tell everybody about the 77 00:03:40.800 --> 00:03:43.639 album because I've listened to it multiple times and it's 78 00:03:43.719 --> 00:03:44.479 quite enjoyable. 79 00:03:44.680 --> 00:03:45.439 So thank you. 80 00:03:45.520 --> 00:03:47.759 I hope people check it out. Linking the description before 81 00:03:47.759 --> 00:03:48.759 he starts talking about. 82 00:03:48.599 --> 00:03:55.639 It, it's it was the most unexpected thing Ryan. There 83 00:03:55.719 --> 00:04:00.159 was no plan in place for it at all. And 84 00:04:01.240 --> 00:04:04.199 I've always been a drummer all my life, and that's 85 00:04:04.240 --> 00:04:07.039 not to minimize drumming at all or drummers at all, 86 00:04:07.120 --> 00:04:09.840 but that's definitely where my heart is rooted. And that's 87 00:04:10.280 --> 00:04:12.800 going back to when I was little in the Drumma 88 00:04:12.800 --> 00:04:17.800 Google Corps in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. The Emerald Knights. Shout 89 00:04:17.800 --> 00:04:20.920 out to any EK alumni out there. When I was 90 00:04:21.279 --> 00:04:23.800 this little kid carrying symbols around that were like half 91 00:04:23.800 --> 00:04:26.600 the size of my body anyway, Drumming has always been 92 00:04:26.639 --> 00:04:31.319 my thing, but I've always loved guitarists. I've always had 93 00:04:31.319 --> 00:04:35.959 a real ear and passion for great guitarists. I'm like 94 00:04:36.000 --> 00:04:40.360 a tone junkie, and so I've been paying attention to 95 00:04:40.399 --> 00:04:42.399 that stuff over the years. And I worked in music 96 00:04:42.480 --> 00:04:46.120 retail where I was able to hand someone a guitar 97 00:04:46.959 --> 00:04:52.720 and not show them anything. I could sell drums a 98 00:04:52.759 --> 00:04:56.720 little better than guitars, as my friend Josh Luce will attest, 99 00:04:56.879 --> 00:05:00.800 who worked with me for many of those years. Anyway, 100 00:05:00.920 --> 00:05:05.079 this summer, or you know, earlier this year, a friend 101 00:05:05.079 --> 00:05:08.720 of mine gave John Stalter gave me a guitar. It 102 00:05:09.040 --> 00:05:13.160 was something that he had. He was wanting to downsize 103 00:05:13.199 --> 00:05:16.279 his collection a little bit, and he had a couple 104 00:05:16.360 --> 00:05:21.279 of the Kurt Cobain Fender Jag Stayings, which is a 105 00:05:21.319 --> 00:05:25.800 guitar that Kurt designed. And John wrote to me one 106 00:05:25.839 --> 00:05:32.279 day and said, hey, I I'm downsizing. And I always 107 00:05:32.279 --> 00:05:34.639 said to myself, if this guitar ever had to go anywhere, 108 00:05:34.639 --> 00:05:37.600 I wanted it to go to you. Oh yeah, how 109 00:05:37.680 --> 00:05:40.680 sweet is that? And so next thing you know, I'm 110 00:05:40.720 --> 00:05:43.439 driving over there and picking up the guitar. And then 111 00:05:43.480 --> 00:05:45.519 I and he lent me a little practice amp and 112 00:05:45.560 --> 00:05:48.079 a chord and I had my headphones and came home 113 00:05:48.160 --> 00:05:51.319 and it was like, you know, like in Dazed and 114 00:05:51.399 --> 00:05:53.399 Confused where the kid lays down in his bed puts 115 00:05:53.399 --> 00:05:55.519 his headphones on. But it was me with this guitar, 116 00:05:55.759 --> 00:06:02.600 just noodling around and if I started doing this, and 117 00:06:02.639 --> 00:06:06.040 I decided to experiment with recording. You know, I'm dealing 118 00:06:06.079 --> 00:06:09.240 with recording and film editing stuff all the time, so 119 00:06:09.279 --> 00:06:12.560 I'm like, well, let's plug this in. And then I 120 00:06:12.639 --> 00:06:18.160 started making songs and then eventually had enough to do 121 00:06:18.199 --> 00:06:22.319 something with. And it really is through the support of 122 00:06:22.360 --> 00:06:25.720 my friends everybody around me who just cheering me on 123 00:06:26.439 --> 00:06:29.959 throughout the whole thing, helping me feel validated in it, 124 00:06:30.639 --> 00:06:34.560 despite my self consciousness, which is near crippling when it 125 00:06:34.600 --> 00:06:38.759 comes to this same man, I just can't say enough. 126 00:06:38.759 --> 00:06:42.000 And on the liner notes for the album, I think 127 00:06:42.160 --> 00:06:43.879 a lot of I mean, all the people who were 128 00:06:43.920 --> 00:06:48.560 really like instrumental and pun intended in this whole thing 129 00:06:48.639 --> 00:06:53.480 coming together and then teaming up with wax Work on 130 00:06:53.560 --> 00:06:58.600 the vinyl was a dream come true. I mean, oh 131 00:06:58.639 --> 00:07:03.000 my god. Yeah, I mean, well, they're masters at their game. 132 00:07:03.199 --> 00:07:07.560 They know what they're doing, and people really love them 133 00:07:07.879 --> 00:07:10.480 and their work. And I knew the music was very 134 00:07:10.519 --> 00:07:14.720 weird when people ask how and when I sent a 135 00:07:14.759 --> 00:07:18.480 few songs to friends early on, they'd be like, what 136 00:07:18.720 --> 00:07:24.399 is this? Help me understand what you're doing here? So anyway, 137 00:07:24.439 --> 00:07:27.079 I wanted to instill some kind of confidence in people, 138 00:07:27.399 --> 00:07:30.720 and I thought that teaming up with a label like that, 139 00:07:31.120 --> 00:07:35.160 an established label that's famous for the quality of their pressings, 140 00:07:35.480 --> 00:07:38.360 will probably be the most direct route to that, and 141 00:07:38.439 --> 00:07:40.360 I found I mean, they were open to the idea, 142 00:07:40.639 --> 00:07:43.399 and working with them was a dream. And at a 143 00:07:43.439 --> 00:07:46.959 time when everyone's vinyls delayed, it seems like every new release, 144 00:07:47.079 --> 00:07:49.480 John Five's album came out the same day as mine, 145 00:07:49.519 --> 00:07:53.920 which is an insane thing to say. But what but 146 00:07:54.360 --> 00:07:57.120 he's amazing and shouldn't be playing with Motley Crue by 147 00:07:57.199 --> 00:08:00.680 the way, that's kind of like it's kind of like 148 00:08:00.759 --> 00:08:05.920 putting I don't know me and Trans Siberian Orchestra or something. 149 00:08:05.959 --> 00:08:08.720 I don't know. That's a really bad analogy. That was 150 00:08:08.759 --> 00:08:11.959 the worst analogy. I'm not sure that it was. That 151 00:08:12.040 --> 00:08:14.199 was kind of a mess. But anyway, it's a shame. 152 00:08:14.759 --> 00:08:16.240 He needs to be with Rob. He needs to be 153 00:08:16.319 --> 00:08:18.680 back with Rob Zombie. And that's the hell I'm going 154 00:08:18.759 --> 00:08:21.360 to die on here regarding John five today. But anyway, 155 00:08:21.920 --> 00:08:25.800 to the point, he announced his new album is delayed 156 00:08:25.839 --> 00:08:29.680 because of pressing stuff and with wax work. They gave 157 00:08:29.720 --> 00:08:33.480 me an estimated delivery date of like October eighth. I 158 00:08:33.519 --> 00:08:34.759 had it a full month early. 159 00:08:34.879 --> 00:08:36.639 I was gonna say, you beat that by a lot. 160 00:08:36.919 --> 00:08:40.360 Huge amount of time. And then I'm like, do I 161 00:08:40.399 --> 00:08:43.440 sit on these? I'm like, no, people, anyone who pre 162 00:08:43.600 --> 00:08:47.039 ordered was getting them right away. So as soon as 163 00:08:47.039 --> 00:08:48.799 the order came in, and it's still the case. If 164 00:08:48.799 --> 00:08:53.559 someone orders one of these from me, I'm literally taping 165 00:08:53.639 --> 00:08:56.600 up the box, putting the stuff in there, and then 166 00:08:56.679 --> 00:08:59.000 driving into the post office. If not the same day, 167 00:08:59.039 --> 00:09:00.720 it'll be the next morning. I mean, it's kind of 168 00:09:00.720 --> 00:09:04.039 a process I've come to love actually, because it's yeah, 169 00:09:04.080 --> 00:09:06.879 I mean that I'm grateful. I'm really grateful, and I 170 00:09:06.919 --> 00:09:09.960 loved all the steps in getting it out there and 171 00:09:10.000 --> 00:09:10.960 into people's hands. 172 00:09:11.200 --> 00:09:14.200 So all of that, and he hasn't even said the 173 00:09:14.240 --> 00:09:16.320 name of the album. Phantom like Keeper check it out 174 00:09:16.759 --> 00:09:19.200 link is in the description below. He's terrible at self promotion, 175 00:09:19.360 --> 00:09:21.799 just like me. But he deserves he deserves the kudos. 176 00:09:21.879 --> 00:09:23.480 Oh thank you, man, thank you. 177 00:09:23.600 --> 00:09:25.399 But I mean, on that note, that's not even all 178 00:09:25.399 --> 00:09:27.519 you've done this year. Tell everybody about the book, because 179 00:09:27.559 --> 00:09:28.799 that was out of nowhere. 180 00:09:30.159 --> 00:09:34.480 Yeah, that was crazy. So I've had this column with 181 00:09:35.399 --> 00:09:38.679 TV Guide's Remind magazine for a while. It's their entertainment 182 00:09:38.759 --> 00:09:42.440 nostalgia magazine. People might remember. A couple of years ago. 183 00:09:42.559 --> 00:09:45.639 I can't remember what year it was, maybe like three 184 00:09:46.000 --> 00:09:49.320 four years ago or something. They brought Remind, brought me 185 00:09:49.399 --> 00:09:52.519 in as the guest editor of their October issue, and 186 00:09:52.919 --> 00:09:57.279 I turned it into this Halloween franchise like love Fest 187 00:09:57.720 --> 00:10:00.000 and got a ton of great interviews, brought some fans 188 00:10:00.080 --> 00:10:03.360 tastic writers into the fold on it. It turned out great. 189 00:10:03.480 --> 00:10:08.440 Every subscriber to the magazine hated it, and I was 190 00:10:08.480 --> 00:10:11.639 hearing from them on it. They're like, so some subscribers 191 00:10:11.639 --> 00:10:13.759 aren't real thrilled because it shows I wish I had 192 00:10:13.799 --> 00:10:16.960 it sitting next to me, had I planned better the cover. 193 00:10:17.440 --> 00:10:20.600 This is a magazine that features like, I don't know, 194 00:10:20.759 --> 00:10:23.600 Eric Estrata on the cover every month and it's all 195 00:10:23.759 --> 00:10:27.840 vintage TV and good time stuff, and then this issue 196 00:10:27.840 --> 00:10:31.519 shows up. The cover is just stark black with Michael 197 00:10:31.559 --> 00:10:35.840 Meyer's mask front and center and almost no text, none 198 00:10:35.840 --> 00:10:40.399 of the usual. I'm pretty sure that a lot of 199 00:10:40.399 --> 00:10:44.159 the readers were just with pitchforks and torches, you know, 200 00:10:44.200 --> 00:10:47.320 when they saw that. But anyway, the horror fans loved it, 201 00:10:47.559 --> 00:10:50.159 and we did a cool signing at Dark Delicacies and 202 00:10:50.279 --> 00:10:53.960 it began a great relationship with them. And the next 203 00:10:54.039 --> 00:10:58.279 year I pitched a monsters theme because Rob Zombies Monsters 204 00:10:58.519 --> 00:11:02.120 was coming out, and so I talked to Rob about it, 205 00:11:02.120 --> 00:11:04.120 and he's like, Yo, let's do something, and so we 206 00:11:04.159 --> 00:11:07.600 did new interviews and behind the scenes things on that, 207 00:11:08.360 --> 00:11:11.679 and then I was like, I love working with his 208 00:11:11.799 --> 00:11:14.840 team because I'm all about like working with people I 209 00:11:14.919 --> 00:11:17.240 care about. If I find a place where I feel 210 00:11:17.360 --> 00:11:21.960 safe and good and where I am morally compatible with 211 00:11:22.000 --> 00:11:24.519 the people i'm working with, I'm just like I need 212 00:11:24.559 --> 00:11:26.519 to be here, I need to stay here. And that 213 00:11:26.679 --> 00:11:28.759 was the case with her mind, and so I pitched 214 00:11:28.799 --> 00:11:32.000 them an idea for a column every month that had 215 00:11:32.039 --> 00:11:36.480 nothing to do with what they're scared The paunch fans, Yeah, 216 00:11:37.080 --> 00:11:39.480 what is he doing now? He does a parade? I 217 00:11:39.519 --> 00:11:43.200 think he does that Hollywood Parade something like yeah, But anyway, 218 00:11:44.759 --> 00:11:50.720 I pitched them on a column about shuttered roadside attractions, 219 00:11:50.799 --> 00:11:54.960 amusement parks, you know, those kind of like tourist trap 220 00:11:55.000 --> 00:11:58.639 places that are along the route when you're taking a vacation. 221 00:11:59.279 --> 00:12:01.200 But I wanted to focus on the ones that had 222 00:12:01.240 --> 00:12:03.720 come and gone from the past. And so every month 223 00:12:03.799 --> 00:12:07.279 since then, I've been doing this column and loving it. 224 00:12:07.360 --> 00:12:10.000 The research is so fascinating, and I've discovered some of 225 00:12:10.039 --> 00:12:15.279 the weirdest, most wonderful people, weirdest places, wonderful people. And 226 00:12:15.720 --> 00:12:19.519 the real exciting part for me with that column is 227 00:12:19.559 --> 00:12:23.200 that it's spotlighting people who came up with the crazy 228 00:12:23.240 --> 00:12:26.279 idea and then just insisted that it become a reality, 229 00:12:27.799 --> 00:12:33.440 Like stop at nothing to make this amusement park where 230 00:12:33.480 --> 00:12:38.320 there's alligators wandering around free, and let's make postcards where 231 00:12:38.440 --> 00:12:41.840 children are riding on the backs of the alligators. And 232 00:12:41.919 --> 00:12:44.480 then let's actually let the kids ride on the alligators. 233 00:12:44.519 --> 00:12:46.440 Like this is one of This was real, and it 234 00:12:46.480 --> 00:12:49.559 was in Los Angeles. It's just one of many. But 235 00:12:49.600 --> 00:12:52.759 I've really delighted in that. And the book is a 236 00:12:52.799 --> 00:12:56.080 compilation of the first i think twenty seven months of 237 00:12:56.240 --> 00:12:59.480 columns with some expanded information on each one of the 238 00:12:59.519 --> 00:13:04.679 parks or attractions in there, and put it together pretty quickly, 239 00:13:05.799 --> 00:13:09.120 and frankly it was I haven't talked much about this, 240 00:13:10.600 --> 00:13:13.559 but I can maybe plant a little seed here that 241 00:13:15.759 --> 00:13:18.039 when I was a kid, there was a book series 242 00:13:18.039 --> 00:13:21.679 that I was obsessed with. I checked them out from 243 00:13:21.720 --> 00:13:24.480 the library so many times that the librarians would end 244 00:13:24.559 --> 00:13:27.200 up holding them for me when they got returned by 245 00:13:27.240 --> 00:13:29.480 other kids. So the next because I was there all 246 00:13:29.519 --> 00:13:32.080 the time. I'm sure my brother Mitch is watching this 247 00:13:32.159 --> 00:13:34.320 and he can testify to this. I mean, we're always 248 00:13:34.360 --> 00:13:38.799 riding our bikes to the library, and I was obsessed 249 00:13:38.840 --> 00:13:41.120 with these books. And then in they're called the Crestwood 250 00:13:41.200 --> 00:13:47.879 House Monster Series. Now, Crestwood House made many books on 251 00:13:48.000 --> 00:13:53.960 lots of different topics. I really admire their mission statement 252 00:13:54.080 --> 00:13:58.799 of creating accessible books for readers of all levels, aimed 253 00:13:58.799 --> 00:14:03.000 at younger readers, but not shooting too high with the 254 00:14:03.080 --> 00:14:06.000 vocabulary and references, but also not dumbing it down to 255 00:14:06.039 --> 00:14:08.159 the point where it's boring. For so they did a 256 00:14:08.200 --> 00:14:11.759 magnificent job of that, and they I have so many 257 00:14:11.879 --> 00:14:14.159 of their books. I have all the monster stuff from 258 00:14:14.159 --> 00:14:17.639 all their different Monster runs. In addition to their cryptozoology, 259 00:14:17.799 --> 00:14:21.759 they did books on things like skiing, like what is 260 00:14:21.799 --> 00:14:27.600 a Cow? And onto profiles of Ernie Banks and whoever else. 261 00:14:27.720 --> 00:14:31.000 I mean, it was a really diverse, exciting brand, and 262 00:14:31.039 --> 00:14:33.440 I've always been obsessed with them and spent my life 263 00:14:33.919 --> 00:14:37.720 accumulating them at different thrift shops and antique stores, book 264 00:14:37.759 --> 00:14:40.720 sales and libraries and stuff, because they were only available 265 00:14:40.720 --> 00:14:45.279 to libraries, and so the ones you find out there, again, 266 00:14:45.320 --> 00:14:46.720 I wish I had them next to me here, But 267 00:14:47.679 --> 00:14:49.879 it's great because they sort of tell their own story 268 00:14:50.360 --> 00:14:53.639 because they're tattered, they're worn. They have the cards in 269 00:14:53.679 --> 00:14:55.279 the pocket in the back with the names of the 270 00:14:55.360 --> 00:14:57.720 kids and the date that they had to have them returned, 271 00:14:57.799 --> 00:15:03.279 and I just treasure that stuff. And so there's a 272 00:15:03.440 --> 00:15:07.200 unique bond that many people my age have to this 273 00:15:07.240 --> 00:15:12.120 book series, and that ultimately the publishing company Crestwood House, 274 00:15:12.759 --> 00:15:15.919 and a couple of years ago I started working with 275 00:15:16.039 --> 00:15:20.519 my lawyer. My entertainment lawyer is Shelley Larry Zerner from 276 00:15:20.559 --> 00:15:23.960 Friday the Thirteenth, Part three. He's always been so wonderful 277 00:15:24.000 --> 00:15:26.559 to me, and I hit him up one day with 278 00:15:26.600 --> 00:15:29.000 the idea, can we see if this is doable. Can 279 00:15:29.039 --> 00:15:33.440 we track what's going on? Because Crestwood had been silent 280 00:15:33.879 --> 00:15:37.840 for a very long time, many years, and we ended 281 00:15:37.919 --> 00:15:40.279 up long story long, we ended up working it out, 282 00:15:40.720 --> 00:15:44.120 secured the trademark, and question what is coming back. But 283 00:15:45.320 --> 00:15:48.080 there was a deadline for having to have something on 284 00:15:48.120 --> 00:15:51.519 the market. You have to have a physical product on 285 00:15:51.600 --> 00:15:55.039 the market available outside your home state, YadA YadA YadA, 286 00:15:55.320 --> 00:15:58.120 proof of sale. And I had already filed two et 287 00:15:58.440 --> 00:16:01.480 extensions on that to hold onto it. And he reached 288 00:16:01.519 --> 00:16:07.000 out to me in January, yeah, I think it was January, 289 00:16:07.200 --> 00:16:11.279 and he said that the deadline was coming up again 290 00:16:11.320 --> 00:16:13.080 for the extension. He's like, do you just want me 291 00:16:13.120 --> 00:16:18.000 to file it? And I was like, no, let me 292 00:16:18.000 --> 00:16:20.159 see if I can do something. But and he goes, 293 00:16:20.200 --> 00:16:24.440 come on, because it was the part I forgot. This 294 00:16:24.559 --> 00:16:27.799 is like January ten three telling me this. He's like, 295 00:16:27.799 --> 00:16:32.000 you have until February fifteenth, oh geez. And I'm like, no, 296 00:16:32.240 --> 00:16:34.159 let's see if we can do it. He's like whookerl 297 00:16:34.639 --> 00:16:40.879 like I'll be expecting your email about the extension and 298 00:16:41.720 --> 00:16:45.919 three days prior. It was insane and so I reached 299 00:16:45.960 --> 00:16:48.360 my one of my best friends in the world, and 300 00:16:48.399 --> 00:16:51.080 the only real coworker I have is my friend Lenamaker, 301 00:16:51.159 --> 00:16:53.399 who lives in Farmer City, Illinois, where I used to 302 00:16:53.480 --> 00:16:57.879 work for the Illinois Valley Press, Farmer City Journal and 303 00:16:57.919 --> 00:17:01.519 some weekly papers there. Lynn is on teams with me 304 00:17:01.600 --> 00:17:04.240 all day. He's also my guiding light when it comes 305 00:17:04.279 --> 00:17:09.759 to like layout stuff, Photoshop tricks. He does graphic design 306 00:17:09.839 --> 00:17:12.440 for a bunch of projects that I do. He's like 307 00:17:12.480 --> 00:17:16.000 the angel that floats over me. One hundred percent is Lynn. 308 00:17:16.119 --> 00:17:18.720 I owe all my friends so much. Lynn is a 309 00:17:18.799 --> 00:17:22.559 very unique entity in my world that I'm eternally grateful for. 310 00:17:23.119 --> 00:17:24.599 But I wrote to him and I said, what do 311 00:17:24.640 --> 00:17:28.359 you think? And he's like, you can do this. He's like, 312 00:17:28.440 --> 00:17:30.680 let me know how I can help. And I had 313 00:17:30.680 --> 00:17:32.480 never laid out a book before. I had never heard 314 00:17:32.519 --> 00:17:36.000 any of this, And so with Lynn's guidance, with his help, 315 00:17:36.559 --> 00:17:39.559 I was able to get this thing delivered and done 316 00:17:39.839 --> 00:17:42.000 like two days, maybe it was one or two days 317 00:17:42.039 --> 00:17:45.359 prior to the deadline. And I sent Larry the email 318 00:17:45.440 --> 00:17:48.519 with a screenshot of the confirmation of the sale, like 319 00:17:48.559 --> 00:17:51.359 the first sales and the ISBN information and all that, 320 00:17:51.720 --> 00:17:55.359 and so the purpose of telling that whole story is 321 00:17:55.400 --> 00:18:01.519 that that book this year was to secure or solidify 322 00:18:01.680 --> 00:18:06.440 for me the Crestwood House trademark in trade. So now 323 00:18:06.599 --> 00:18:09.160 starting next year is a whole new focus and there's 324 00:18:09.200 --> 00:18:12.039 going to be many more exciting things to come on 325 00:18:12.119 --> 00:18:13.920 here and talk to you about and not wait two 326 00:18:13.920 --> 00:18:17.000 and a half years to do so. Relating to that, 327 00:18:17.200 --> 00:18:19.240 but it's one of my greatest, one of my greatest 328 00:18:19.240 --> 00:18:22.119 thrills in life because I loved those books so much. 329 00:18:22.559 --> 00:18:25.359 I just I just adore them, and I'm excited to 330 00:18:25.400 --> 00:18:28.519 do a lot of crazy stuff with that brand again 331 00:18:28.599 --> 00:18:33.440 and give people that nostalgic return to their youth in 332 00:18:33.480 --> 00:18:34.160 a lot of ways. 333 00:18:34.640 --> 00:18:36.839 And you're bearing that torch to a whole new generation. 334 00:18:36.880 --> 00:18:42.960 That's cool. Yeah, Yeah, obviously you have done so much 335 00:18:43.000 --> 00:18:45.759 for physical media, So tonight after all of the announcements, 336 00:18:45.759 --> 00:18:48.480 we're gonna be discussing special features, how they get made, 337 00:18:48.519 --> 00:18:50.640 some of your most exciting ones. The last couple of years, 338 00:18:50.640 --> 00:18:54.759 you've had some crazy things like freaking Nicholas Cage, Like, 339 00:18:54.960 --> 00:18:56.599 we have so much to discuss. 340 00:18:56.279 --> 00:18:57.079 The story there. 341 00:18:57.160 --> 00:19:01.720 Yeah, so hang out after the announcements tonight, but let's 342 00:19:01.720 --> 00:19:04.599 get into some of our usual stuff collecting physical media 343 00:19:04.599 --> 00:19:07.000 obviously you're contributing to it. Are you buying much anymore? 344 00:19:07.079 --> 00:19:09.279 Are you picking up a lot of new things? Yeah? 345 00:19:09.599 --> 00:19:13.519 I still get things once in a while. I'm super 346 00:19:13.559 --> 00:19:16.039 busy and so I try to stay up on it, 347 00:19:16.160 --> 00:19:17.920 but I'm not as current as I used to be, 348 00:19:18.039 --> 00:19:20.519 where I was always like waiting for release day for 349 00:19:20.599 --> 00:19:22.960 this and that. There are some things that I'll always 350 00:19:23.000 --> 00:19:26.319 be on top of, but really not as much as 351 00:19:26.359 --> 00:19:28.359 I used to. But there I have picked up a 352 00:19:28.359 --> 00:19:31.319 few things. You had mentioned prior to our discussion that 353 00:19:31.759 --> 00:19:35.440 we were going to share some of our new pickups, 354 00:19:35.480 --> 00:19:37.160 and so I do have a few at hand here. 355 00:19:37.319 --> 00:19:40.200 Yeah, let's see what do you got? What's been importantly well? 356 00:19:40.200 --> 00:19:44.720 The first one to continue the terror Vision love fest 357 00:19:45.359 --> 00:19:50.279 is the WNUF double bill, which I already had the 358 00:19:50.359 --> 00:19:55.359 first film, but this is in Walmart. And that's one 359 00:19:55.400 --> 00:19:58.880 of the great feats that terror Vision has managed over 360 00:19:58.920 --> 00:20:02.880 the last couple of years is getting this stuff on 361 00:20:03.039 --> 00:20:06.119 the shelves of Walmart. I'll never forget back when when 362 00:20:06.160 --> 00:20:10.799 I was growing up, Walmart insisted on censored covers. Remember 363 00:20:10.839 --> 00:20:13.000 that movies that they would like see. 364 00:20:12.960 --> 00:20:16.559 Not even that long ago. I mean Satanic Panic that 365 00:20:16.599 --> 00:20:18.960 came out like five or six years ago. They had 366 00:20:19.000 --> 00:20:20.920 to release in Walmart with a slipcover that said just 367 00:20:20.960 --> 00:20:23.759 the word panic. They could not use the word satanic 368 00:20:23.799 --> 00:20:24.240 on it. 369 00:20:24.240 --> 00:20:27.960 It's hilarious and now they're carrying like anyway, like but 370 00:20:28.079 --> 00:20:30.160 they got I think it was Mallam was the one 371 00:20:30.160 --> 00:20:33.279 that really surprised me when Terror Visions film Mallam landed 372 00:20:33.279 --> 00:20:35.720 in there. The cover of Mallam is like two evil 373 00:20:35.720 --> 00:20:38.720 eyes and then just a blood pentagram in the middle, 374 00:20:39.039 --> 00:20:44.839 and I'm thinking, how in what world I remember the 375 00:20:44.920 --> 00:20:48.240 poison like open up and say, ah tape not being 376 00:20:48.240 --> 00:20:50.440 able to have the tongue. Anybody remember that out there? 377 00:20:50.480 --> 00:20:52.640 Oh that kind of stuff is what used to happen. 378 00:20:52.680 --> 00:20:55.559 And now Walmart's like, well, let's put I spit on 379 00:20:55.599 --> 00:20:57.519 your grave in here, and we got a box set 380 00:20:57.559 --> 00:21:01.240 of it. But this tremendous. I love the WNUF films, 381 00:21:01.319 --> 00:21:04.279 especially the first one, some of my most treasured, treasured 382 00:21:06.359 --> 00:21:10.319 discoveries over the last few years. Here, it's absolutely awesome. 383 00:21:10.400 --> 00:21:12.079 Are we going to take turns? Or should I keep going? 384 00:21:12.240 --> 00:21:13.359 Go right ahead? Go right ahead? 385 00:21:13.640 --> 00:21:16.240 Second one is a pickup because I couldn't find my 386 00:21:16.319 --> 00:21:20.160 copy of it, and I've also lost there's like a 387 00:21:20.200 --> 00:21:22.920 box of stuff since I moved earlier this year that 388 00:21:23.480 --> 00:21:26.759 it's still missing and it's killing me. But I could 389 00:21:26.839 --> 00:21:31.400 not find my collection of Roseanne's Halloween specials. 390 00:21:31.880 --> 00:21:34.000 I never would have guessed that at all, what you 391 00:21:34.039 --> 00:21:34.759 were leading up to. 392 00:21:34.720 --> 00:21:39.000 That I'm missing so many CDs, I'm missing movies. I 393 00:21:39.000 --> 00:21:41.880 couldn't find my Garfield Halloween. 394 00:21:41.559 --> 00:21:43.240 Special but it's a great one. 395 00:21:43.359 --> 00:21:47.200 Yeah, it's so good. I can I know I have 396 00:21:47.279 --> 00:21:50.200 it somewhere, but I cannot locate it. But I could 397 00:21:50.200 --> 00:21:52.599 not find my Roseanne, and I was really wanted to 398 00:21:52.599 --> 00:21:55.279 get it. So I found a used copy of Roseanne. 399 00:21:55.319 --> 00:22:00.359 It's it says it's eight episodes, but it's stick with 400 00:22:00.359 --> 00:22:03.920 the first six or so. The last couple seasons of 401 00:22:04.039 --> 00:22:10.519 Roseanne were not exactly great, little understatement. And then Severn 402 00:22:11.160 --> 00:22:15.759 Beautiful Box, the Feeding Frenzy Box. This is a reverse 403 00:22:15.799 --> 00:22:21.359 on my camera, hopefully it's not. But six discs, three films, 404 00:22:21.720 --> 00:22:29.440 soundtrack CDs and this nice Christian the author of this. 405 00:22:29.680 --> 00:22:33.119 I was so blown away when this showed up. I 406 00:22:33.200 --> 00:22:36.000 instantly started flipping through the book before I put any 407 00:22:36.000 --> 00:22:37.799 of the discs in or anything. I opened it. Yeah, 408 00:22:37.799 --> 00:22:42.559 there you go, there you go, I I love stuff 409 00:22:42.599 --> 00:22:47.359 like this. There's a great there's a great book. That's all. 410 00:22:47.559 --> 00:22:52.480 It's like, the complete Bigfoot Filmography is what it's called. 411 00:22:54.319 --> 00:22:56.759 And in each case when I and it's thorough, it 412 00:22:56.880 --> 00:23:02.359 covers everything TV episodes, reality stuff, documentaries, feature films, and 413 00:23:02.440 --> 00:23:05.039 what Christian did with this book is very, very similar, 414 00:23:05.039 --> 00:23:07.240 and so in both cases I reach out to the author. 415 00:23:07.359 --> 00:23:09.880 I'm like, I love you and I love your work, 416 00:23:09.960 --> 00:23:12.559 and do you want to come do some stuff? And 417 00:23:12.599 --> 00:23:15.799 so I've actually been talking with Christian about teaming up 418 00:23:15.839 --> 00:23:19.240 on some things nice because this book is awesome. I 419 00:23:19.240 --> 00:23:24.000 mean it covers everything down to I mean, it's very 420 00:23:24.039 --> 00:23:26.359 thorough and gets into like the direct to two B 421 00:23:26.599 --> 00:23:28.680 type films that we're seeing a lot of now, like 422 00:23:28.720 --> 00:23:32.200 the CG stuff, which is appreciated because I'm always always 423 00:23:32.200 --> 00:23:35.400 been a junkie for Shark movies and say, mix the 424 00:23:35.440 --> 00:23:39.039 Italian stuff with it. And then this tremendous book that 425 00:23:39.119 --> 00:23:41.319 was an instant buy from several and so that's kind 426 00:23:41.319 --> 00:23:43.880 of recent pickups. They've been killing it. 427 00:23:43.960 --> 00:23:48.200 Yeah, yeah, it's hard not to. Absolutely I got if 428 00:23:48.240 --> 00:23:52.119 you hear nothing super major, but stuff that I'm excited about. 429 00:23:52.359 --> 00:23:56.160 Def Crocodile put out a new release of their double 430 00:23:56.200 --> 00:23:58.440 feature of Signals and in the Dust of the Stars. 431 00:23:58.640 --> 00:24:00.839 This is one that they'd put up previously. They've been 432 00:24:00.880 --> 00:24:02.640 hard to find for a little while, and this is 433 00:24:02.920 --> 00:24:06.200 with one of their new slip covers. Really great animation 434 00:24:06.279 --> 00:24:08.319 stuff that they've been doing. Are you have you paid 435 00:24:08.400 --> 00:24:09.680 much attention to Deaf Crocodile. 436 00:24:09.759 --> 00:24:12.640 I haven't, no, no you, but you've mentioned that name 437 00:24:12.680 --> 00:24:14.480 to me before and I definitely need to dive in 438 00:24:14.559 --> 00:24:14.839 on it. 439 00:24:14.880 --> 00:24:16.920 Well, it's kind of hard because pretty much everything they 440 00:24:16.920 --> 00:24:20.319 put out nobody has heard of unless you're attending like 441 00:24:20.400 --> 00:24:24.039 Cinematech screenings all the time. So it's it's difficult. But 442 00:24:24.160 --> 00:24:26.960 I mean, Dennis Bartok knows everything under the sun about films, 443 00:24:26.960 --> 00:24:30.039 so it's it's gonna be film school and I love that. 444 00:24:30.279 --> 00:24:32.920 So well, That's what I love about what OCN and 445 00:24:32.960 --> 00:24:38.400 Vinegar are doing too, in the diversity of the lineup 446 00:24:38.440 --> 00:24:42.680 of films there, and that you can trust Deaf Crocodile 447 00:24:43.559 --> 00:24:47.000 and his perspective on film to guide you into new 448 00:24:47.079 --> 00:24:49.920 territory and more interesting movies you haven't heard of. You're 449 00:24:49.920 --> 00:24:52.400 going to show up for them and their guidance, right 450 00:24:52.680 --> 00:24:54.880 and that's what I think Justin's done with OCN in 451 00:24:54.880 --> 00:24:56.359 a lot of ways, and a lot of those sub 452 00:24:56.440 --> 00:25:01.240 labels are now building their own very dedicated fan and 453 00:25:01.319 --> 00:25:04.400 so it's a wonderful incubator for that kind of stuff 454 00:25:04.440 --> 00:25:07.680 that no other label would pay attention to. I remember 455 00:25:07.720 --> 00:25:11.039 pitching stuff to some of the companies that I've worked 456 00:25:11.039 --> 00:25:13.000 with in the past, and they would just roll their 457 00:25:13.039 --> 00:25:18.799 eyes at me, like what, No, just no, you don't 458 00:25:18.839 --> 00:25:21.240 need to be asking us these questions anymore. 459 00:25:21.400 --> 00:25:23.400 I feel like I've heard that exact same sentence in 460 00:25:23.400 --> 00:25:27.240 the last couple of months. So yeah, uh, one thing, 461 00:25:27.359 --> 00:25:29.839 I'm super glad that Keno has taking a chance on 462 00:25:29.920 --> 00:25:32.519 more of the made for TV stuff. Yeah, so they're 463 00:25:32.519 --> 00:25:36.680 putting all the stuff dead a night. Just arrived literally 464 00:25:36.720 --> 00:25:40.400 today from Atomic Movie Store, very excited to see these. 465 00:25:40.440 --> 00:25:42.920 Of course, Amanda Rees is involved in a couple of 466 00:25:42.960 --> 00:25:45.640 the Dan Curtis things. She's always incredible. 467 00:25:45.799 --> 00:25:48.400 Oh yeah, he's so good. And and they just announced 468 00:25:48.519 --> 00:25:50.680 there was another one that I just saw. I don't 469 00:25:50.680 --> 00:25:52.920 know if it was just announced or maybe released, but 470 00:25:52.960 --> 00:25:56.720 there's two or three in that Dan Curtis series from them, 471 00:25:56.720 --> 00:25:57.559 and I want them all. 472 00:25:58.079 --> 00:26:04.680 Yeah, got one that I love the movie. I'm very 473 00:26:04.720 --> 00:26:06.559 skeptical of how this four K is gonna look, but 474 00:26:06.599 --> 00:26:08.640 literally just got here like an hour and a half ago. 475 00:26:09.240 --> 00:26:12.759 Wolf Creek from Imprint in Australia. I'm sure you've seen 476 00:26:12.799 --> 00:26:15.160 Wolf Creek? Yeah, yeah, how do you feel about it? 477 00:26:15.759 --> 00:26:19.440 I like the original. I haven't seen the sequels, but yeah. 478 00:26:19.519 --> 00:26:21.640 I've never seen the sequels either. I've always wanted there's 479 00:26:21.640 --> 00:26:23.759 a TV show. I've never seen a second of the 480 00:26:23.759 --> 00:26:26.799 TV show yet. Literally, there's like a three season TV show. 481 00:26:27.160 --> 00:26:29.799 Three seasons. Well, how many more times are people going 482 00:26:29.839 --> 00:26:32.079 to wander into the desert and encounter this guy? 483 00:26:33.160 --> 00:26:35.000 What you think they've learned? 484 00:26:35.519 --> 00:26:38.119 It's not even a camp with forest around it, it's 485 00:26:38.200 --> 00:26:42.359 just right lanes of Australia. Anyway, I'm sure it's great. 486 00:26:43.279 --> 00:26:45.799 The last thing kind of semi related to you, because 487 00:26:45.880 --> 00:26:48.400 I thought it was really cool to see Bloody Disgusting 488 00:26:48.519 --> 00:26:51.359 run a piece on Phantom this year that wash. That 489 00:26:51.480 --> 00:26:54.880 was awesome, incredible to see them promoting you. I had 490 00:26:54.880 --> 00:26:57.680 no idea that Bloody Disgusting had teamed up to put 491 00:26:57.680 --> 00:27:01.519 out shorts on Blu Ray at all. And they've got 492 00:27:01.519 --> 00:27:05.119 this series called World of Death, and I saw somebody 493 00:27:05.119 --> 00:27:07.319 getting rid of these on Facebook, and so I picked 494 00:27:07.400 --> 00:27:09.720 up with the first four volumes traded in for these. 495 00:27:10.599 --> 00:27:13.400 These all have almost thirty or a little over thirty 496 00:27:13.400 --> 00:27:16.359 in some cases short films wow that have been online, 497 00:27:16.559 --> 00:27:19.160 and you can still pick these up from Bloody Disgusting 498 00:27:19.240 --> 00:27:22.519 right now they're BDRs. But I mean, how often do 499 00:27:22.519 --> 00:27:24.559 you get shorts on physical media that aren't just a 500 00:27:24.599 --> 00:27:27.279 bonus feature as of some director's work. 501 00:27:27.519 --> 00:27:29.440 I've been saying that for years. I go to these 502 00:27:29.440 --> 00:27:32.400 independent film festivals that I love, and I see, yeah, 503 00:27:32.440 --> 00:27:40.160 because it's just this raw, unfiltered and un molested artistry 504 00:27:40.720 --> 00:27:43.119 and you're creating something out of your own pocket and 505 00:27:43.160 --> 00:27:46.119 when you're just I always compare these things to like 506 00:27:46.160 --> 00:27:49.240 the first album from a band. They are arriving in 507 00:27:49.279 --> 00:27:52.440 the studio with years of drive and just blood and 508 00:27:52.480 --> 00:27:55.480 sweat and whatever to get there, and that's something so 509 00:27:55.720 --> 00:27:59.759 pure that you cannot distill and that you cannot replicate. 510 00:27:59.839 --> 00:28:04.519 In Do Again and the world of independent film festivals. People, 511 00:28:04.680 --> 00:28:08.079 if you are, if you're jaded by what you're seeing 512 00:28:08.319 --> 00:28:12.400 on streaming in theaters, I will guarantee you that within 513 00:28:12.519 --> 00:28:16.160 driving distance is a film festival that is going to 514 00:28:16.240 --> 00:28:20.039 offer you nothing but fresh ideas. Not that it's all 515 00:28:20.039 --> 00:28:21.720 going to be great. I'm not saying that, but I'm 516 00:28:21.759 --> 00:28:25.359 just saying like, if you're opening yourself up to experiencing 517 00:28:25.440 --> 00:28:28.079 something new, it's out there and this is the place 518 00:28:28.079 --> 00:28:33.160 to go. And the thing is, the filmmakers are hardly, ever, rarely, 519 00:28:34.240 --> 00:28:38.160 almost never getting anything right out of having these films. 520 00:28:38.160 --> 00:28:40.839 In fact, they're spending money. They're spending and that's what 521 00:28:40.839 --> 00:28:42.559 a lot of people don't know is that to enter 522 00:28:42.599 --> 00:28:45.119 a lot of these festivals there's a fee and then 523 00:28:45.119 --> 00:28:47.759 they have to pay to travel to go attend. Not 524 00:28:47.839 --> 00:28:50.200 every festival brings you in and all that. So I mean, 525 00:28:50.279 --> 00:28:53.079 it's really a labor of love for these filmmakers and 526 00:28:53.119 --> 00:28:56.359 that's exciting. And I hope that they're licensed and cared 527 00:28:56.400 --> 00:28:59.480 for by Bloody on those sets. I think that's a 528 00:28:59.519 --> 00:29:01.440 tremendous idea and I hope they continue it. 529 00:29:01.720 --> 00:29:03.680 They have seven of them. I got to go get 530 00:29:03.960 --> 00:29:07.200 the next three off their site at some point. They're 531 00:29:07.240 --> 00:29:09.480 not super cheap, but for what they are, I think 532 00:29:09.480 --> 00:29:11.599 that's pretty fair. It's twenty five bucks each, so I 533 00:29:11.640 --> 00:29:14.599 got to look that up. Yeah, it's a pretty decent deal. 534 00:29:15.599 --> 00:29:17.319 You know you're talking about shorts. One of the big 535 00:29:17.359 --> 00:29:19.559 thing too that I've always appreciated about some of these 536 00:29:19.559 --> 00:29:22.920 fests is most of these directors, this is like their 537 00:29:22.960 --> 00:29:27.000 most honed work because they've been gearing up towards their 538 00:29:27.039 --> 00:29:30.599 first thing four or five years, so they've been polishing 539 00:29:30.599 --> 00:29:33.440 it like crazy, and they finally make a fifteen minute 540 00:29:33.480 --> 00:29:36.279 short and it's this massive work of art that they've 541 00:29:36.279 --> 00:29:38.640 been working on since they were nineteen and here it 542 00:29:38.720 --> 00:29:40.640 is finally in front of the world at twenty five 543 00:29:40.720 --> 00:29:43.400 or something. And now on their first feature, if they 544 00:29:43.480 --> 00:29:45.240 happen to get super lucky and can make it right 545 00:29:45.279 --> 00:29:47.640 after that, they only have eight months to make it 546 00:29:47.799 --> 00:29:50.079 or two weeks to make it, and it's not going 547 00:29:50.160 --> 00:29:53.440 to be anywhere near as polished or as fully thought 548 00:29:53.440 --> 00:29:54.960 out sometimes as that short can be. 549 00:29:55.279 --> 00:29:58.960 Well, they have no other cooks in the kitchen. There 550 00:29:58.960 --> 00:30:01.200 are cooks in the kitchen. But I'm just saying, like 551 00:30:01.279 --> 00:30:03.759 producer wise, which is what interferes with a lot of 552 00:30:03.759 --> 00:30:07.640 director visions. Yep, when you're dealing with anyone who's investing, 553 00:30:07.720 --> 00:30:10.680 they're going to have notes and things like that. Maybe 554 00:30:10.680 --> 00:30:13.400 the case, and with some of these shorts, I'm sure 555 00:30:13.400 --> 00:30:16.440 a good portion are, but I will say that just 556 00:30:17.240 --> 00:30:20.680 it is, like I said, pure. The purity that's associated 557 00:30:20.720 --> 00:30:24.000 with the presentation in those films at those festivals is 558 00:30:24.039 --> 00:30:28.960 so great, and they don't have to worry about offending people, 559 00:30:29.680 --> 00:30:36.200 about crossing boundaries, about blending genres. It's like and there 560 00:30:36.200 --> 00:30:39.359 are some great film festivals that are open to whatever 561 00:30:39.440 --> 00:30:43.559 comes their way in terms of we're only a horror festival. Yeah, well, 562 00:30:43.559 --> 00:30:46.799 what's considered horror. It's kind of subjective, and I love 563 00:30:46.839 --> 00:30:49.680 the festivals that are happy to blend, sort of mix 564 00:30:49.759 --> 00:30:51.079 the waters on that stuff. 565 00:30:51.720 --> 00:30:53.839 That's really speaking of watching films, what have you been 566 00:30:53.920 --> 00:30:55.400 staying up to date on what have you been able 567 00:30:55.440 --> 00:30:56.200 to catch recently? 568 00:30:59.079 --> 00:31:02.559 I saw, Oh, I saw Black Phone two. 569 00:31:03.279 --> 00:31:07.440 Nice. How'd you feel about the change in genres? Seemingly 570 00:31:08.400 --> 00:31:09.519 I really enjoyed it. 571 00:31:09.599 --> 00:31:12.480 I was never a huge fan of the original. I 572 00:31:12.480 --> 00:31:17.039 thought it was fine, and I really wasn't that excited 573 00:31:17.079 --> 00:31:23.400 for the new one. But I had a movie past thing, 574 00:31:23.759 --> 00:31:26.119 and so I'm like, I want to see something. I 575 00:31:26.119 --> 00:31:28.720 had a few hours while I was running exports, which 576 00:31:28.720 --> 00:31:31.079 can take a while to you know how that goes, 577 00:31:31.799 --> 00:31:33.519 or an upload. I think it was at that time 578 00:31:33.799 --> 00:31:37.039 and decided to go check it out, and I was 579 00:31:37.079 --> 00:31:42.640 so pleasantly surprised by it. I'm a junkie for winter movies, 580 00:31:43.880 --> 00:31:47.920 and this thing is one of the snowiest, winteriest, un 581 00:31:47.920 --> 00:31:53.160 abashedly frozen movies that I've ever seen. And so the 582 00:31:53.200 --> 00:31:55.880 weather was perfect that day. It was overcast and a 583 00:31:55.880 --> 00:31:59.640 little bit of rain missed outside. Cool weather finally here 584 00:31:59.680 --> 00:32:03.640 and I and so the stars aligned to go check 585 00:32:03.680 --> 00:32:07.119 this thing out. And it was a little talkie for me, 586 00:32:07.440 --> 00:32:09.920 is what I've said to some people. Yea, and some 587 00:32:10.039 --> 00:32:14.480 of the dialogue it was kind of hackneyed, but that's 588 00:32:14.880 --> 00:32:18.799 the final act in that movie is off the rails, 589 00:32:19.720 --> 00:32:22.359 and I so admire the fact that they went where 590 00:32:22.359 --> 00:32:25.640 they did with it, and I love that remote, snowy 591 00:32:25.720 --> 00:32:30.000 setting at this yep, I mean pretty much abandoned camp. 592 00:32:30.000 --> 00:32:31.799 I don't want to spoil it for people, but the 593 00:32:31.880 --> 00:32:34.640 setting is bliss for me. And then when you get 594 00:32:34.680 --> 00:32:37.079 to that third act and they're just swinging hard at 595 00:32:37.119 --> 00:32:40.519 the fences, I'm like, yeah, keep going, keep going. And 596 00:32:40.559 --> 00:32:41.759 I walked out very happy. 597 00:32:42.039 --> 00:32:44.799 So I would agree with all of that. Yeah, I 598 00:32:44.839 --> 00:32:47.240 saw it, and I liked it much more than the 599 00:32:47.279 --> 00:32:54.519 first one. Absolutely Okay, well, let's see. Showed my kids 600 00:32:54.559 --> 00:32:58.359 a couple of films. They are finally nine and a 601 00:32:58.400 --> 00:33:00.960 half ish tennish where it's like, hey, we can kind 602 00:33:00.960 --> 00:33:04.200 of show you some of the like soft PG thirteen 603 00:33:04.759 --> 00:33:07.160 type of films for some of them because they're okay 604 00:33:07.200 --> 00:33:09.920 with some things and not others. So I showed them 605 00:33:10.000 --> 00:33:12.599 Underwater from a five years ago or so with christ 606 00:33:12.640 --> 00:33:16.759 and Stewart. I feel like this is the perfect bridge 607 00:33:16.799 --> 00:33:22.039 to essentially Alien. It's basically Alien Underwater, which I loved 608 00:33:22.039 --> 00:33:28.119 that movie from day one. They were quite like enraptured 609 00:33:28.160 --> 00:33:30.519 with it, which I love to see. A big thing 610 00:33:30.559 --> 00:33:32.319 about that movie is, you know, two and a half 611 00:33:32.359 --> 00:33:34.680 minutes into it is where it starts and it never 612 00:33:34.880 --> 00:33:38.079 lets off. So they were like, oh, what's this, We're swimming? 613 00:33:38.119 --> 00:33:39.759 Oh my gosh, here we go. And then for the 614 00:33:39.799 --> 00:33:41.559 next hour and a half they were just one hundred 615 00:33:41.559 --> 00:33:43.759 percent in, which was incredible to see. 616 00:33:43.920 --> 00:33:47.200 I remember watching this is a while back. This is 617 00:33:47.240 --> 00:33:51.160 like years ago, but my son, he and some other 618 00:33:51.279 --> 00:33:55.119 kids were watching We had Friday the thirteenth on and 619 00:33:55.200 --> 00:33:58.359 they were almost angry with how bored they were with 620 00:33:58.480 --> 00:34:01.160 the movie. They just could not So it sounds like, 621 00:34:01.200 --> 00:34:04.119 you went the right You made the right choice there 622 00:34:04.160 --> 00:34:06.880 to keep them engaged and get them into it. That's 623 00:34:06.880 --> 00:34:09.079 exciting turning the kids onto that stuff. 624 00:34:10.119 --> 00:34:12.719 Another one that is semi related to something that you did. 625 00:34:12.719 --> 00:34:15.039 Another one that we showed them this week is Krawl 626 00:34:15.920 --> 00:34:20.000 Alexandra Aja's Krawl. I like this movie quite a bit 627 00:34:20.000 --> 00:34:23.800 when it came out, and the only thing the four 628 00:34:23.880 --> 00:34:27.000 K disc, which is where it's tangentially related to you 629 00:34:27.079 --> 00:34:30.159 in a few ways. It looks very good, but man, 630 00:34:30.199 --> 00:34:33.159 does it really highlight how CG the alligators are. 631 00:34:33.000 --> 00:34:35.960 In this hotel that I haven't even watched the disc yet. 632 00:34:36.639 --> 00:34:40.880 I mean, it's not terrible, but man, it's there. It's 633 00:34:40.960 --> 00:34:43.760 quite obvious as CG. Which it helped. I mean, I'm 634 00:34:43.760 --> 00:34:45.960 showing young kids this animal attacks film, and this is 635 00:34:45.960 --> 00:34:47.880 the first one like that that they've ever seen. So 636 00:34:48.320 --> 00:34:50.159 this is one that they were sort of taken with 637 00:34:50.239 --> 00:34:53.400 as well, because I mean, this is probably the It's 638 00:34:53.440 --> 00:34:56.239 not even a super gory film, but there's like there's 639 00:34:56.239 --> 00:34:58.960 one scene where the guy's arm gets removed, and they 640 00:34:59.360 --> 00:35:02.400 show a lot of that, and so they were they 641 00:35:02.400 --> 00:35:04.559 weren't ready for those scenes, but it thankfully, it looks 642 00:35:04.559 --> 00:35:06.199 a little fake with the Allicator. 643 00:35:06.440 --> 00:35:08.320 The next stop for you, Ryan is Grizzly. 644 00:35:09.440 --> 00:35:12.679 That's a it's a good, good idea. Uh it has 645 00:35:14.159 --> 00:35:14.559 it has. 646 00:35:14.679 --> 00:35:16.760 I love Grizzly so much. It's one of my comfort 647 00:35:16.800 --> 00:35:20.679 food movies. And your kids will love. If they couldn't 648 00:35:20.679 --> 00:35:23.599 handle the arm, they're gonna love when a bear punches 649 00:35:23.639 --> 00:35:27.960 the head off a horse. They're just gonna, trust me, 650 00:35:28.239 --> 00:35:32.880 they'll be converted to the animals gotam a subgenre at 651 00:35:32.880 --> 00:35:37.199 that point. There's so many great animal movies we did. 652 00:35:37.920 --> 00:35:40.760 I'm on a podcast called Get Me Another. And what 653 00:35:40.800 --> 00:35:42.920 we do is we take a successful film and then 654 00:35:42.920 --> 00:35:46.079 we spend I don't know ten episodes breaking down films 655 00:35:46.079 --> 00:35:49.280 that tried to replicate its success. And we did Get 656 00:35:49.280 --> 00:35:52.199 Me Another Jaws this summer, and it was so great 657 00:35:52.239 --> 00:35:54.719 because I got to throw in all these weirdo movies 658 00:35:54.840 --> 00:35:57.199 that I was so excited to talk about but knew 659 00:35:57.239 --> 00:36:00.000 I'd never had the opportunity to. And we got into 660 00:36:00.119 --> 00:36:05.800 the Grizzlies, and I mean just the whole series was 661 00:36:05.840 --> 00:36:08.360 just a blast to do. So I'm a big fan 662 00:36:08.440 --> 00:36:09.639 of that sub genre. 663 00:36:10.239 --> 00:36:14.280 I love Grizzly. Grizzly Too is not anywhere near. 664 00:36:15.800 --> 00:36:19.920 Okay, Grizzly Too is a real movie that stars George 665 00:36:19.920 --> 00:36:23.599 Clooney and now I'm gonna say stars in big air quotes. 666 00:36:24.360 --> 00:36:28.880 Who is it, Laura Dern, Charlie Sheen, Yep, George Clooney, 667 00:36:30.760 --> 00:36:34.199 and then so and they were making this movie and 668 00:36:34.239 --> 00:36:36.400 then the like the guy who was backed this is 669 00:36:36.440 --> 00:36:38.679 in the eighties I think, and the guy who was 670 00:36:38.760 --> 00:36:42.599 backing it disappeared with the money, and so they couldn't 671 00:36:42.599 --> 00:36:46.360 finish the film. Somehow, someone at some point down the 672 00:36:46.400 --> 00:36:50.159 line got the rights to it. Did they, I don't know. 673 00:36:50.519 --> 00:36:53.960 And then they added in a bunch of contemporary like 674 00:36:54.239 --> 00:36:58.280 b roll footage of bears climbing trees and drone shots 675 00:36:58.360 --> 00:37:02.320 over forests and things like that, and released it with 676 00:37:02.360 --> 00:37:06.320 these celebrity names at the top top build, with all 677 00:37:06.920 --> 00:37:10.800 the raw bear effects in there, like untouched bear effects 678 00:37:10.800 --> 00:37:14.719 that are so bad and so great. It's really a masterpiece. 679 00:37:15.400 --> 00:37:18.800 It's so fun. My favorite of that era that feels 680 00:37:18.880 --> 00:37:21.840 like those I truly adore Day of the Animals. I 681 00:37:21.840 --> 00:37:25.280 think that movie is incredible. Yeah. 682 00:37:25.599 --> 00:37:28.039 Yeah, well that's the double bill right. My hairs really 683 00:37:28.119 --> 00:37:32.119 bother me here. Sorry. The double bill is Grizzly and 684 00:37:32.199 --> 00:37:36.599 Day of the animals. I mean, what an incredible duo 685 00:37:36.760 --> 00:37:39.719 of films there, And but I like, I worked on Alligator. 686 00:37:39.760 --> 00:37:43.199 That's one of my all time favorites, Alligator to the Mutation. 687 00:37:45.000 --> 00:37:47.760 I could just go on and on the lately. Gambin 688 00:37:48.079 --> 00:37:51.760 was really the torch carrier for this world of for 689 00:37:51.840 --> 00:37:55.199 all eco horror, eco horror, and he wrote books on 690 00:37:55.280 --> 00:38:01.400 it and spoke on it and did screenings and even 691 00:38:01.440 --> 00:38:03.480 at the point where I was talking with Lee a 692 00:38:03.480 --> 00:38:08.039 couple weeks before his surprise passing, he was talking about 693 00:38:08.039 --> 00:38:12.000 doing this new documentary on this stuff, and John Campo Piano, 694 00:38:12.639 --> 00:38:14.599 a mutual friend of ours, it was like, this is 695 00:38:14.639 --> 00:38:17.079 going to be this thing, and then we lost him. 696 00:38:17.119 --> 00:38:21.320 So rip Lee, for sure. But every time I throw 697 00:38:21.360 --> 00:38:23.239 one of those movies in, I gotta think of him 698 00:38:23.239 --> 00:38:23.960 a little bit too. 699 00:38:24.119 --> 00:38:28.400 Same. It's been wild seeing releases come out with like 700 00:38:29.599 --> 00:38:32.599 new stuff that he had been working on for so long, 701 00:38:32.920 --> 00:38:36.079 and then finally to see it come out and it's posthumously, 702 00:38:36.159 --> 00:38:39.960 like eighteen plus months after his passing has been wild 703 00:38:40.039 --> 00:38:40.480 to see. 704 00:38:40.599 --> 00:38:44.000 Well, he was so prolific. Yeah, he really was just 705 00:38:44.000 --> 00:38:48.079 an absolute animal. When he put intent nintended on that one, 706 00:38:48.320 --> 00:38:50.000 he was an animal when it came to this stuff. 707 00:38:50.000 --> 00:38:52.559 But he was every time you get a message from 708 00:38:52.639 --> 00:38:54.519 him or get a call from him, he's all fired 709 00:38:54.599 --> 00:38:56.360 up and talking about this, this, this and this and this, 710 00:38:56.400 --> 00:38:57.519 and he would do it all. 711 00:38:58.159 --> 00:38:58.360 Yeah. 712 00:38:58.400 --> 00:38:59.880 So the thing that can be said about Lee is 713 00:38:59.880 --> 00:39:01.920 that he was one of us for sure. 714 00:39:02.360 --> 00:39:04.960 In a very short period of time. Prolific as well. 715 00:39:05.000 --> 00:39:06.639 Like a lot of people think he was doing it 716 00:39:06.679 --> 00:39:09.360 for a very long time, he didn't really start like 717 00:39:09.800 --> 00:39:12.559 being attached to the whole industry, like he did screenings 718 00:39:12.559 --> 00:39:15.039 in Australia and stuff, but like to the industry at large, 719 00:39:15.280 --> 00:39:17.320 he was only doing it for like six or seven 720 00:39:17.400 --> 00:39:19.760 years or something like that, like really as heavily as 721 00:39:19.760 --> 00:39:21.280 he did, which is insanity. 722 00:39:21.400 --> 00:39:24.239 Yeah, writing for the magazines too and everything. So yeah, 723 00:39:24.280 --> 00:39:26.639 I mean he left a big legacy in a short 724 00:39:26.639 --> 00:39:27.320 window of time. 725 00:39:29.000 --> 00:39:31.840 All right, tonight, One thing that we got to talk 726 00:39:31.880 --> 00:39:35.079 about before we go into the announcements is the fervor 727 00:39:35.320 --> 00:39:37.679 around screen factory this week. Have you paid attention to 728 00:39:37.719 --> 00:39:38.119 any of this? 729 00:39:38.880 --> 00:39:43.079 Yeah, I've been asked about one hundred people about this 730 00:39:43.280 --> 00:39:45.039 and so I've had to tune into it and I 731 00:39:45.079 --> 00:39:47.840 saw the go ahead. You probably have notes here that 732 00:39:47.880 --> 00:39:48.880 you want to run through. 733 00:39:48.880 --> 00:39:51.960 No, I mean there's no notes. The big thing here 734 00:39:52.119 --> 00:39:55.840 is suddenly, right after their s October sale, their website 735 00:39:55.880 --> 00:39:58.519 was showing prices that for many people were literally too 736 00:39:58.559 --> 00:40:02.840 good to be true, like liquidation sale prices. Everything must go. 737 00:40:03.000 --> 00:40:05.760 Holy hell, they are absolutely going out of the business. 738 00:40:05.960 --> 00:40:09.639 And immediately following the shock of it, somebody on the 739 00:40:09.679 --> 00:40:12.840 blu ray dot com forums, which historically full of all 740 00:40:12.880 --> 00:40:18.440 of the correct information, no drama, and absolutely trustworthy anonymous commenting, 741 00:40:19.280 --> 00:40:23.280 somebody commented and said, yes, screen Factory is exiting the 742 00:40:23.280 --> 00:40:25.760 physical media market. They will be gone within the next 743 00:40:25.760 --> 00:40:28.320 few months. Good luck with the sale, essentially is what 744 00:40:28.360 --> 00:40:33.079 they said, which is insanity. Screen Factory just spent like 745 00:40:34.280 --> 00:40:38.519 two digit million dollars on this Golden Princess library. They 746 00:40:38.519 --> 00:40:42.159 have been investing in a lot of upcoming restorations the 747 00:40:42.239 --> 00:40:46.320 last couple months. They've been announcing almost twenty releases a month. Sure, 748 00:40:46.559 --> 00:40:48.400 many of them are the same four K discs in 749 00:40:48.440 --> 00:40:52.159 new packaging. However, they're selling like crazy. Anybody that is 750 00:40:52.360 --> 00:40:55.599 doing that. To exit the sector would be one of 751 00:40:55.639 --> 00:40:58.719 the dumbest decisions ever made. You're just walking away from 752 00:40:58.719 --> 00:41:02.320 a shit ton of money. So on that front any 753 00:41:02.360 --> 00:41:03.960 comments from you, mister Justin Bean. 754 00:41:05.679 --> 00:41:10.960 I mean it's it is the internet's habit to take 755 00:41:11.320 --> 00:41:17.280 the headline, yeah and explode it into a million opinions. 756 00:41:17.840 --> 00:41:23.599 And I think that one person there was the screenshot 757 00:41:23.679 --> 00:41:25.960 of the movie club or something, which I wasn't even 758 00:41:25.960 --> 00:41:29.920 aware a shout had. What was that? Are you aware 759 00:41:29.960 --> 00:41:30.719 of what this thing was? 760 00:41:31.000 --> 00:41:34.519 Yeah, it's a loyalty program they called it. This is 761 00:41:34.559 --> 00:41:37.000 where it gets super ironic, very quickly for them. They 762 00:41:37.000 --> 00:41:39.320 should have named it something else, but they called it 763 00:41:39.360 --> 00:41:43.480 the Physical Media Forever play or club and it shuddered 764 00:41:43.519 --> 00:41:46.440 like a year and three days after it launched. So 765 00:41:47.119 --> 00:41:50.480 the running joke was the physical media for a year, club. 766 00:41:50.679 --> 00:41:58.320 Man, that's harsh. Well, someone posted their email screenshot of 767 00:41:58.400 --> 00:42:02.920 that having been like the notice to the fan club 768 00:42:02.960 --> 00:42:04.719 members or whatever that there was going to be a 769 00:42:04.800 --> 00:42:07.039 change in how they were distributing and all that stuff. 770 00:42:07.280 --> 00:42:14.960 And it's the big discussion in the whole industry right 771 00:42:15.000 --> 00:42:19.840 now is like what's next. And meanwhile everyone's looking around 772 00:42:19.920 --> 00:42:25.239 going what is happening? Because it's like fires burning all 773 00:42:25.280 --> 00:42:28.280 around the industry that are kind of encroaching in various ways. 774 00:42:28.880 --> 00:42:31.239 And the physical media thing is a conversation I've been 775 00:42:31.280 --> 00:42:34.760 having since I started in this business, back when I 776 00:42:35.000 --> 00:42:39.079 very first started doing this stuff. Are you, well, you know, 777 00:42:39.480 --> 00:42:42.880 physical media is dead and now look at all these 778 00:42:42.920 --> 00:42:47.199 indie labels that are doing great and whatever else. Even 779 00:42:47.199 --> 00:42:50.599 Paramount ended up getting back on the train with Paramount 780 00:42:50.639 --> 00:42:56.519 Presents and these other things. So I think my read 781 00:42:56.599 --> 00:42:59.440 on it, and I have no inside information on this whatsoever, 782 00:42:59.599 --> 00:43:02.440 my reading on it is that it's, uh. It may 783 00:43:02.480 --> 00:43:07.159 be a decision made internally to transition how they're distributing 784 00:43:07.199 --> 00:43:09.599 to those fan club people are pricing it, or I 785 00:43:09.599 --> 00:43:11.599 don't even know what that plan was, so I can't 786 00:43:11.639 --> 00:43:14.440 really speak to that, but I cannot imagine that they're 787 00:43:14.480 --> 00:43:19.880 going anywhere and they What I will say with conviction 788 00:43:20.159 --> 00:43:23.360 because of personal experience, is that when I was working there, 789 00:43:23.360 --> 00:43:27.360 they were adamant that they were a physical media company. 790 00:43:26.800 --> 00:43:31.079 I would pitch things to them about well because they 791 00:43:31.199 --> 00:43:35.239 eventually got shout TV underway, right the Roku app and 792 00:43:35.320 --> 00:43:39.280 all that, and I'd be like, I have stuff from 793 00:43:39.280 --> 00:43:43.079 these interviews that we could put on shout TV as 794 00:43:43.159 --> 00:43:47.199 like a bridge between the two, and we could advertise 795 00:43:47.360 --> 00:43:49.960 with the Blu Ray announcement like and there's extra content 796 00:43:50.039 --> 00:43:52.840 on Shout TV or something. And what I got back was, 797 00:43:52.840 --> 00:43:55.800 we're a physical media company. I mean, they they were 798 00:43:55.800 --> 00:43:58.920 building Shout TV and obviously not shying away from their 799 00:43:58.920 --> 00:44:01.639 efforts there, but it was made very clear to me 800 00:44:01.719 --> 00:44:05.239 that that was not something that they really wanted to 801 00:44:05.320 --> 00:44:09.719 dance with. So the whole time I was there, and 802 00:44:09.760 --> 00:44:12.400 granted it was a different lineup of people when I 803 00:44:12.440 --> 00:44:18.480 was working with them, Cliff and Jeff were evangelists for 804 00:44:18.559 --> 00:44:22.920 physical media, and they stood by their releases, they stood 805 00:44:22.920 --> 00:44:26.840 by their mission statement to do their best by all 806 00:44:26.840 --> 00:44:30.519 these titles the entire time that I was with them, 807 00:44:30.800 --> 00:44:35.159 And so I cannot imagine any company with that kind 808 00:44:35.159 --> 00:44:39.199 of framework being broken down to the point in such 809 00:44:39.280 --> 00:44:42.199 short order where they're just going to walk from physical media. 810 00:44:42.320 --> 00:44:45.719 So I say, nay, I don't believe that it's the case. 811 00:44:46.719 --> 00:44:50.320 Well, and the other evidence this is a dumb word 812 00:44:50.360 --> 00:44:52.480 to use about that, but the other evidence is that 813 00:44:52.559 --> 00:44:57.880 their umbrella corporation that owns Shout Factory now or Shout 814 00:44:57.880 --> 00:45:02.440 Studios is not Shout Factory has merged with film Rise, 815 00:45:02.480 --> 00:45:05.199 that they also acquired film Rise, and for a lot 816 00:45:05.199 --> 00:45:07.920 of people, that means on the surface, oh, now they're 817 00:45:07.960 --> 00:45:11.360 only focusing on streaming, so they're gone. The joke here, though, 818 00:45:11.559 --> 00:45:14.840 is if you pay attention elsewhere over the last three days, 819 00:45:15.039 --> 00:45:17.480 Groove or Grove. I know a lot of people pronounce it. 820 00:45:17.519 --> 00:45:18.679 You have you never known how to say it. I 821 00:45:18.679 --> 00:45:21.480 always think, is that grove? I always think, no, no, no, 822 00:45:21.840 --> 00:45:22.840 sounds like a disease. 823 00:45:23.400 --> 00:45:28.079 It is the storefront for STS Studio Distribution Services, which 824 00:45:28.199 --> 00:45:31.000 is servicing Universal WB and a bunch of these other 825 00:45:31.199 --> 00:45:34.199 smaller companies. That is just, hey, we don't have a storefront. 826 00:45:34.239 --> 00:45:36.360 You take care of it for us. You're already distributing. 827 00:45:36.800 --> 00:45:38.840 It makes sense. You already got the product. Why would 828 00:45:38.840 --> 00:45:40.280 you send it to us to send to other people? 829 00:45:40.320 --> 00:45:43.119 So here we go, shout factory God, I did it again, 830 00:45:43.119 --> 00:45:46.119 shout studios. They all of a sudden last three days 831 00:45:46.199 --> 00:45:50.920 have more than seventeen hundred skews listed on Grove or Groove, 832 00:45:51.320 --> 00:45:54.039 So it appears that Groove is just going to be 833 00:45:54.079 --> 00:45:57.039 the one that carries them now and all there's stuff 834 00:45:57.039 --> 00:45:59.280 that used to be shout site exclusives that now say 835 00:45:59.400 --> 00:46:03.639 Groove exclusives on the Groove website. So it's pretty obvious 836 00:46:03.639 --> 00:46:05.320 like they're cutting out the middleman. They don't want to 837 00:46:05.320 --> 00:46:08.239 pay for shipping twice. It's probably costing them a ton 838 00:46:08.280 --> 00:46:11.599 of money. Why pay for somebody to do customer service 839 00:46:11.639 --> 00:46:13.079 for you when you can just do it through groove. 840 00:46:14.320 --> 00:46:17.679 The landscape is shifted. For those of us who are 841 00:46:17.679 --> 00:46:20.719 dedicated to this cause, we cannot ignore the fact or 842 00:46:20.760 --> 00:46:26.320 pretend it's not happening that stores stockiness stuff are fewer 843 00:46:26.760 --> 00:46:34.079 and farther between, and it isn't a retail universe like 844 00:46:34.119 --> 00:46:36.480 we are used to, or like we can even reference 845 00:46:36.639 --> 00:46:41.840 in terms of success and how far title travels after 846 00:46:41.920 --> 00:46:44.599 release or anything like that. And everyone's happen to adjust 847 00:46:45.199 --> 00:46:47.840 and they're trying to figure out the smartest way to 848 00:46:47.920 --> 00:46:52.079 do this. And there are also fewer duplication facilities than 849 00:46:52.119 --> 00:46:57.320 there were before now. I will say again from personal experience, 850 00:46:57.400 --> 00:47:00.239 back when I was working with the Halloween stuff, I 851 00:47:00.239 --> 00:47:04.039 wanted to do a forty five one year of the 852 00:47:04.039 --> 00:47:08.440 Halloween theme and Lourie's theme on a collectible forty five 853 00:47:08.559 --> 00:47:10.639 kind of a thing. And at that point there were 854 00:47:10.679 --> 00:47:13.760 almost no vinyl presses that I could find. And I 855 00:47:13.840 --> 00:47:16.400 was talking to this company, Rainbow Records, that used to 856 00:47:16.480 --> 00:47:21.159 do custom presses, and they were down to do it, 857 00:47:21.280 --> 00:47:24.960 but we didn't end up doing the record, but within 858 00:47:25.000 --> 00:47:28.559 a couple of years they were gone. And now that's 859 00:47:28.679 --> 00:47:31.760 hence Ryan at TerrorVision picking up his own press. He's like, 860 00:47:31.880 --> 00:47:34.159 I can't wait for these people to do this, and 861 00:47:34.199 --> 00:47:35.920 I need to make sure the quality is where it 862 00:47:35.920 --> 00:47:39.679 needs to be. So but now there's more presses than 863 00:47:39.719 --> 00:47:43.199 there were ten years ago, fifteen years whenever that was, 864 00:47:43.239 --> 00:47:46.800 I was doing the Halloween stuff. So never say never 865 00:47:47.440 --> 00:47:50.239 about any of this. And even though there are fewer 866 00:47:50.280 --> 00:47:53.599 places doing the duplication on the Blu rays and things 867 00:47:53.679 --> 00:47:56.840 like that, at this moment, you never know what might 868 00:47:56.880 --> 00:47:59.800 come down the road, and I think everyone is wise, 869 00:48:00.079 --> 00:48:03.360 especially as we're likely heading into some kind of depression 870 00:48:03.400 --> 00:48:10.400 here the country. They need to be planning ahead and 871 00:48:10.440 --> 00:48:12.719 figuring out the wisest way to deal with this stuff 872 00:48:12.760 --> 00:48:15.880 financially so they can keep releasing stuff, so they can 873 00:48:15.960 --> 00:48:19.199 keep feeding the audience the titles and the kind of 874 00:48:19.199 --> 00:48:22.320 stuff that they're really hungry for, because the appetite's not 875 00:48:22.400 --> 00:48:25.000 going anywhere. It's just a matter of supply and demand. 876 00:48:25.119 --> 00:48:27.960 And so I don't know, that's my piece on it. 877 00:48:28.480 --> 00:48:32.199 I wish them the best, I think, I mean shout 878 00:48:33.079 --> 00:48:38.639 change my life. That company. They really did, They really did. 879 00:48:38.920 --> 00:48:43.400 I mean, Fangoria changed my life, and then that led 880 00:48:43.480 --> 00:48:47.079 to Trancas changed my life, led to Shout change my 881 00:48:47.159 --> 00:48:51.159 life again. And if it wouldn't have been for Cliff 882 00:48:51.199 --> 00:48:54.719 and Jeff walking up to me at Horror Hound in Indianapolis, 883 00:48:55.599 --> 00:48:57.840 I think it was the show where it was the 884 00:48:57.880 --> 00:49:00.880 show where Jamie Lee Curtis did her one mention appearance 885 00:49:02.760 --> 00:49:05.519 and she was lovely to everybody and stayed way late 886 00:49:05.679 --> 00:49:08.079 to make sure everybody got attention and all that. Anyway, 887 00:49:08.599 --> 00:49:11.519 I was standing in the lobby talking with Joel Robinson 888 00:49:12.400 --> 00:49:15.239 and up walk these two guys, and all I had 889 00:49:15.239 --> 00:49:17.639 produced at that point was Halloween four and five the 890 00:49:17.679 --> 00:49:21.239 commentaries on those because Anchor Bay wanted no special features 891 00:49:21.639 --> 00:49:25.280 and I'm like, no, we need to do this the 892 00:49:25.400 --> 00:49:28.280 right way. And they also wanted to change the cover 893 00:49:28.519 --> 00:49:31.039 art and the font for the logos and stuff. It's 894 00:49:31.159 --> 00:49:33.840 hilarious what they wanted to do with that stuff. I 895 00:49:33.880 --> 00:49:38.559 hope someday I can show the battles that I fought 896 00:49:38.840 --> 00:49:41.039 on the Halloween four and five Blu rays and I 897 00:49:41.119 --> 00:49:43.079 tried to even bring Joel in for some art that 898 00:49:43.159 --> 00:49:46.719 didn't work, and Anyway, Cliff and Jeff walk up and 899 00:49:46.760 --> 00:49:49.280 they go, hey, we love your Halloween four and five stuff. 900 00:49:49.320 --> 00:49:54.199 Would you like to do more of that? And I'm like, yes, yes, 901 00:49:55.320 --> 00:49:58.239 I would, that would be great, and they hold up 902 00:49:58.239 --> 00:50:00.920 the sheet. They're like, well, we have a few titles 903 00:50:01.519 --> 00:50:03.239 that are in cue to any of these, like we're 904 00:50:03.280 --> 00:50:06.239 launching this thing called screen Factory. But outside of the 905 00:50:06.239 --> 00:50:09.199 horror stuff, what else is there anything? And tank Girl 906 00:50:09.320 --> 00:50:13.199 was on that list and I was like that, you 907 00:50:13.280 --> 00:50:16.039 have no clue. At the time, I was talking with Rachel, 908 00:50:16.079 --> 00:50:18.199 the director of Tank Girl, about a book on it, 909 00:50:18.360 --> 00:50:23.039 and anyway, it's just like stars aligned for sure, and 910 00:50:23.079 --> 00:50:25.440 from there it was off to the races. And it's 911 00:50:25.480 --> 00:50:27.679 never been the same for me since. So I owe 912 00:50:27.920 --> 00:50:31.440 them so much and I wish them the best. If 913 00:50:31.440 --> 00:50:34.039 this is a troubling time for Shout, which I hope 914 00:50:34.079 --> 00:50:37.199 it isn't, then I certainly hope they survive and keep 915 00:50:37.239 --> 00:50:39.559 on doing what they're doing, because anyone who's in this 916 00:50:39.639 --> 00:50:43.159 fight is doing it for the right reasons. I think. 917 00:50:43.440 --> 00:50:46.320 Yeah. Well, and the hard part is Cliff and Jeff, 918 00:50:46.320 --> 00:50:48.440 who's already come up multiple times during this, are no 919 00:50:48.519 --> 00:50:51.880 longer with Shouts. Of course, Cliff is with Arrow, bringing 920 00:50:51.920 --> 00:50:54.239 with him a bunch of incredible acquisitions. Aero has been 921 00:50:54.320 --> 00:50:57.199 killing it, and Jeff is making really interesting music. 922 00:50:57.320 --> 00:51:01.119 No his songs is Yeah, every time he REases the 923 00:51:01.159 --> 00:51:03.239 new and I'm like, I love it, man, It's so great. 924 00:51:03.519 --> 00:51:06.320 And who would have thought? Who would have thought that 925 00:51:06.480 --> 00:51:08.880 Jeff would be a man? I'm so happy for him 926 00:51:08.920 --> 00:51:11.599 because he seems so happy doing it. You just feel 927 00:51:11.639 --> 00:51:14.920 the joy in him in doing that. So I'm what 928 00:51:15.000 --> 00:51:20.360 a great twist in the Jeff Nelson saga for him 929 00:51:20.360 --> 00:51:23.199 to end up doing like disco singles and stuff. Amazing. 930 00:51:23.800 --> 00:51:26.639 Well, we're about to start the announcements, but before we do, 931 00:51:26.719 --> 00:51:28.280 there's one more thing that I got to ask about 932 00:51:28.280 --> 00:51:30.880 because you just brought up fan Boria. Since the last 933 00:51:30.880 --> 00:51:33.840 time you were on here, the whole Paramount Scares thing 934 00:51:34.000 --> 00:51:36.880 has happened. It's been public and they put out two 935 00:51:36.920 --> 00:51:39.800 of the box sets, and you got to do all 936 00:51:39.920 --> 00:51:41.599 kinds of stuff to curate what was in that first 937 00:51:41.639 --> 00:51:44.960 thing and do your own like Fangoria released. I mean, 938 00:51:45.440 --> 00:51:47.639 what that's that's amazing. 939 00:51:47.519 --> 00:51:53.679 That that credit one goes to Todd inside Paramount Marketing, 940 00:51:53.800 --> 00:51:57.840 who is a huge horror fan. Yeah, and when I 941 00:51:57.880 --> 00:52:01.119 first started working with Paramount, I really felt I was 942 00:52:01.159 --> 00:52:03.239 pretty certain that I was going to feel like just 943 00:52:03.280 --> 00:52:07.400 a number on a spreadsheet. It was the exact opposite. 944 00:52:07.639 --> 00:52:11.239 The team that I had was incredible people. I'm in 945 00:52:11.280 --> 00:52:14.800 touch with all of them to this day. But Todd 946 00:52:14.800 --> 00:52:17.679 and I made it formed a real fast bond because 947 00:52:17.920 --> 00:52:21.840 he is such a horror nut and Paramount isn't famous 948 00:52:21.880 --> 00:52:25.039 for being real celebratory about their horror. If you think 949 00:52:25.039 --> 00:52:28.440 about the legacy of the Friday films and how they 950 00:52:28.440 --> 00:52:31.960 did those DVDs with the cover art, with like the 951 00:52:32.079 --> 00:52:36.079 long mask and the oh those were the worst. It's 952 00:52:36.119 --> 00:52:38.559 like they were just, Okay, we know we can make 953 00:52:38.639 --> 00:52:41.920 money off this, but we don't want to admit that 954 00:52:42.000 --> 00:52:44.159 this is really what kind of kept us alive for 955 00:52:44.199 --> 00:52:47.159 a long time. Right, It's a big part of their legacy. 956 00:52:47.320 --> 00:52:52.159 So to find this Todd inside marketing as such a 957 00:52:52.199 --> 00:52:56.639 devout lover of horror was a great joy, and he 958 00:52:56.719 --> 00:53:00.599 and I have I mean, it was a bond and 959 00:53:00.639 --> 00:53:04.199 then a great partnership throughout that with me and Todd 960 00:53:04.239 --> 00:53:08.119 and the executives in there, and so that was their baby, 961 00:53:08.159 --> 00:53:15.480 the whole Paramount scream stuff. I was just sort of 962 00:53:15.559 --> 00:53:17.719 a cog in the wheel on it. Really, for the 963 00:53:17.760 --> 00:53:21.199 most part, I had originally intended to be a lot 964 00:53:21.199 --> 00:53:23.800 more involved than I ended up being, but due to 965 00:53:23.920 --> 00:53:27.320 scheduling and other stuff, it just wasn't destined to be. 966 00:53:28.000 --> 00:53:30.599 But the Fangoria thing came around, and because of my 967 00:53:30.719 --> 00:53:34.119 history with a magazine, I think ended up getting to 968 00:53:34.159 --> 00:53:37.480 be the guest editor for that special issue that was 969 00:53:37.519 --> 00:53:40.480 inside that first box set, which is a tremendous thrill, 970 00:53:41.199 --> 00:53:44.800 and I have it in a bagged and boarded tucked 971 00:53:44.840 --> 00:53:48.440 away safely outside the confines of the box so I 972 00:53:48.480 --> 00:53:51.480 can pull it out and look at it anytime. It 973 00:53:51.519 --> 00:53:53.360 was a real honor. But I mean even that that 974 00:53:53.519 --> 00:53:56.480 was I have to say, it was like an honorary thing. 975 00:53:56.519 --> 00:53:58.599 For the most part. I can take no credit for 976 00:53:58.639 --> 00:54:02.039 the majesty of that magazine or that box because the 977 00:54:02.079 --> 00:54:07.039 Fangoria team killed it with that with a combination of 978 00:54:07.119 --> 00:54:11.199 new and vintage articles that were in there, and then 979 00:54:11.280 --> 00:54:14.000 the box set itself. I mean, the marketing crew was 980 00:54:14.119 --> 00:54:18.119 so into the chochkeys, the pins, the patches and stickers 981 00:54:18.280 --> 00:54:21.559 and all that, and it's so beautiful sitting on your shelf. 982 00:54:21.639 --> 00:54:25.400 The slip covers that were unique to those editions, and 983 00:54:25.760 --> 00:54:28.639 I think my probably my biggest contribution is probably the 984 00:54:28.679 --> 00:54:33.920 most reviled, which is in volume two. When people saw 985 00:54:33.960 --> 00:54:38.159 the lineup of films in Volume two, everybody was excited 986 00:54:38.199 --> 00:54:41.480 for Friday too, because Friday the Thirteenth, Part two was 987 00:54:41.519 --> 00:54:44.039 in that box on four K for the first time, 988 00:54:44.719 --> 00:54:46.360 the only way you could get it at the time. 989 00:54:47.280 --> 00:54:49.599 But also they put Breakdown in there. 990 00:54:49.840 --> 00:54:51.719 Which we get to talk about tonight too, which we. 991 00:54:51.679 --> 00:54:58.280 Get to talk about more. But boy, were people a whr. Yeah, 992 00:54:59.000 --> 00:55:01.559 you think people were angry about Jason's mask. I mean, 993 00:55:01.599 --> 00:55:04.920 you get Kurt Russell in a horror box, they're not. Actually, 994 00:55:05.000 --> 00:55:09.159 that's Kurt rules and the film's great and Big Troubles, 995 00:55:09.199 --> 00:55:14.079 a total masterpiece. But when maybe you can ask about 996 00:55:14.079 --> 00:55:15.599 it later. If we're going to get into a breakdown, 997 00:55:15.639 --> 00:55:17.599 stop me. Now here's your change. 998 00:55:17.599 --> 00:55:18.840 We will in a little bit. 999 00:55:19.039 --> 00:55:21.239 Okay, we'll talk more about Breakdown and Kurt Russell in 1000 00:55:21.360 --> 00:55:21.719 a minute. 1001 00:55:21.719 --> 00:55:26.440 People, I mean to you, I'm sure you can't just 1002 00:55:26.480 --> 00:55:29.480 announce it. Are they planning on continuing? Because I know 1003 00:55:29.480 --> 00:55:31.079 a lot of people are like, when are we getting 1004 00:55:31.079 --> 00:55:32.360 Paramount Scars three this year? 1005 00:55:32.679 --> 00:55:33.559 I really don't know. 1006 00:55:33.719 --> 00:55:34.280 I mean. 1007 00:55:36.400 --> 00:55:39.599 A confession on the Paramount front is that things have 1008 00:55:39.639 --> 00:55:43.920 really changed with them too. Yeah, this sky Dance acquisition 1009 00:55:44.719 --> 00:55:47.519 really shifted a lot of pieces. And of course I'm 1010 00:55:47.559 --> 00:55:49.480 not on the inside for anything, so I don't have 1011 00:55:49.599 --> 00:55:54.000 answers for anything. But the last active project I did 1012 00:55:54.079 --> 00:55:56.679 with Paramount was the one I'm proud of stuff, which 1013 00:55:56.719 --> 00:56:01.719 is bringing out the Dead, and that is if there 1014 00:56:01.760 --> 00:56:05.320 was a way to go, it was that one, because 1015 00:56:06.719 --> 00:56:09.880 we can talk more about that later. But yeah, so, 1016 00:56:09.960 --> 00:56:15.639 I mean, they aren't really pushing these things. I don't 1017 00:56:15.639 --> 00:56:18.719 want to put words in their mouth, but it's definitely 1018 00:56:18.719 --> 00:56:21.519 a different scenario in there now that this Skydance situation 1019 00:56:21.599 --> 00:56:24.880 has happened. And in terms of my relationship with them, 1020 00:56:24.920 --> 00:56:26.800 I'm still friends with all of them. Todd and I 1021 00:56:26.880 --> 00:56:29.360 message all the time and I sent him the album 1022 00:56:29.480 --> 00:56:35.000 and whatever. I love them all dearly. But seeing the 1023 00:56:35.039 --> 00:56:40.679 shots of the water tower being painted, yeah, they're removing 1024 00:56:40.719 --> 00:56:41.840 the Paramount logo. 1025 00:56:42.599 --> 00:56:43.119 It's weird. 1026 00:56:43.880 --> 00:56:49.320 It's heartbreaking, man. But since then, I mean to illustrate 1027 00:56:49.599 --> 00:56:52.519 how awesome that team is. I took my son out 1028 00:56:52.559 --> 00:56:59.960 there to California last year and they welcomed us on 1029 00:57:00.159 --> 00:57:03.280 the lot. So Julian could see around, and we got 1030 00:57:03.280 --> 00:57:06.559 to write, got the little golf cart tour and shown 1031 00:57:06.599 --> 00:57:09.559 the secret Koy pond, and he got to see all 1032 00:57:09.559 --> 00:57:12.480 these behind the scenes things that hopefully one day he 1033 00:57:12.519 --> 00:57:15.400 looks back on fondly. So everyone there is so amazing, 1034 00:57:15.400 --> 00:57:17.079 and I just love them to death, and I missed 1035 00:57:17.079 --> 00:57:18.239 working with them so much. 1036 00:57:18.480 --> 00:57:22.760 I really do well. On that note, we'll talk more 1037 00:57:22.760 --> 00:57:24.800 about working with them after. Let's get to some of 1038 00:57:24.840 --> 00:57:26.880 these announcements, because I'm so eager to hear you talk 1039 00:57:26.880 --> 00:57:29.280 about some of these. We already talked about Black Phone too, 1040 00:57:29.280 --> 00:57:31.079 so we won't cover this too much. But of course 1041 00:57:31.079 --> 00:57:32.760 they're doing a four case deal. Look for this. You 1042 00:57:32.800 --> 00:57:36.360 can get this out everywhere. They're claiming it's a Walmart exclusive, 1043 00:57:36.400 --> 00:57:39.079 but a reminder that one of the other Walmart exclusives 1044 00:57:39.079 --> 00:57:42.280 from them recently also showed up elsewhere, so the exclusive 1045 00:57:42.280 --> 00:57:44.320 word might not mean what it used to mean. So 1046 00:57:44.840 --> 00:57:48.360 we'll see decent film. We both liked it. Check it out. 1047 00:57:48.400 --> 00:57:50.480 If you're into it, that's going to enter my winter 1048 00:57:50.639 --> 00:57:51.599 rotation for sure. 1049 00:57:52.159 --> 00:57:56.159 It's deserving, like it's such a cold movie. Yeah, such 1050 00:57:56.199 --> 00:57:59.480 a cold movie. We talked about Deaf Crocodile earlier as well. 1051 00:58:00.079 --> 00:58:02.559 They are putting out in November this three film box 1052 00:58:02.599 --> 00:58:05.760 set of too Votulio. He is a finish film director. 1053 00:58:06.800 --> 00:58:09.719 Beautiful art on this release from mister Sam's myth that 1054 00:58:10.079 --> 00:58:12.960 might show up in the chat later. Love the art 1055 00:58:13.000 --> 00:58:16.000 that they went with for this. There are three just 1056 00:58:16.239 --> 00:58:18.800 wild films in this. We got Cross of Love, Restless 1057 00:58:18.800 --> 00:58:24.920 Blood and then the absolutely surreal, silly, incredible Sensuela from 1058 00:58:25.000 --> 00:58:28.000 nineteen seventy three. Lots of extras on this. We've got 1059 00:58:28.039 --> 00:58:31.320 remaining fragments of lost films from him that are the 1060 00:58:31.360 --> 00:58:33.639 only bits that they could find, which is so cool 1061 00:58:33.639 --> 00:58:37.079 that they want to do this. We've got two finished 1062 00:58:37.159 --> 00:58:39.880 educational films from the nineteen forties. Who else is going 1063 00:58:39.960 --> 00:58:42.639 to put that on these? We've got new visual essays, 1064 00:58:42.679 --> 00:58:46.760 new commentaries. We've got sixty page book with a bunch 1065 00:58:46.760 --> 00:58:50.239 of different essays in it. I adore these films, highly 1066 00:58:50.280 --> 00:58:54.000 recommend you checking them out to Votulio. I'm sure this 1067 00:58:54.039 --> 00:58:56.800 is not a filmmaker that you've heard or seen much from. 1068 00:58:56.920 --> 00:58:59.840 No, it's new to me, but I'm absolutely intrigued. 1069 00:59:00.480 --> 00:59:03.000 Looks great, it is. It is so good. Uh and 1070 00:59:03.960 --> 00:59:09.119 Cinsuela in particular, is wild like. There is tons of nudity, 1071 00:59:09.239 --> 00:59:13.480 there's tons of partying. There is robot or not that 1072 00:59:13.599 --> 00:59:18.119 was the wrong word, not robot. Reindeer castration happening. Well, yep, 1073 00:59:18.599 --> 00:59:20.639 that's the type of film. 1074 00:59:21.079 --> 00:59:23.760 It's the reindeer castration type of film, Ryan. 1075 00:59:23.840 --> 00:59:26.920 It is. And if you look at the cover, did 1076 00:59:26.960 --> 00:59:28.239 you see that in the art. This is why I 1077 00:59:28.280 --> 00:59:30.480 love this so much. It is surrounded by black and whites, 1078 00:59:30.519 --> 00:59:33.199 and the color imagery makes the shape of a reindeer. 1079 00:59:33.840 --> 00:59:36.360 Oh yeah, I look at that. I love reindeer. That's good. 1080 00:59:37.559 --> 00:59:39.599 I don't like them being castrated, though. See I don't 1081 00:59:39.599 --> 00:59:44.199 care for that. It sounds like Jim Wenorski's Lost Empire. 1082 00:59:45.280 --> 00:59:47.119 Have you ever seen Lost Empire from Jim? 1083 00:59:47.480 --> 00:59:48.440 I have? I have. 1084 00:59:48.599 --> 00:59:52.559 It's nothing like okay, not well, it doesn't have reindeer 1085 00:59:52.599 --> 00:59:56.440 having their nets cut off, but it has everything else 1086 00:59:56.559 --> 00:59:58.760 that Jim could possibly cram into it. And I think 1087 00:59:58.760 --> 01:00:03.519 it's so great. It's this unsung movie. It has no distribution. 1088 01:00:03.639 --> 01:00:06.079 I don't know what happened to it. But wan Orsky 1089 01:00:06.199 --> 01:00:08.880 got this chance to make a short story. Wearski thought 1090 01:00:08.880 --> 01:00:11.159 he have one shot at making a movie. So he's like, 1091 01:00:11.199 --> 01:00:14.159 I'm you know, I'm putting everything into it. I'm pouring 1092 01:00:14.320 --> 01:00:17.639 every single thing. There's gonna be martial arts, there's gonna 1093 01:00:17.639 --> 01:00:24.599 be all this and a gorilla we're gonna put It's amazing. 1094 01:00:24.800 --> 01:00:27.760 It's such a great movie and Alan Howard's score for 1095 01:00:27.880 --> 01:00:31.760 it has been on constant rotation since Alan did a 1096 01:00:31.800 --> 01:00:33.800 re release on that years ago, and it's so good. 1097 01:00:33.840 --> 01:00:37.039 So there's my plug, completely unrelated to this box set 1098 01:00:37.199 --> 01:00:39.880 for Jim Minorski's Lost the Empire, which does not have 1099 01:00:39.920 --> 01:00:42.719 any animal castration in it, but does have a gorilla 1100 01:00:42.800 --> 01:00:45.679 suit and plenty of kung fu. 1101 01:00:45.119 --> 01:00:48.480 I need a deluxe edition of that film too. 1102 01:00:48.400 --> 01:00:51.480 I do to. I wanted to release that. I will 1103 01:00:51.519 --> 01:00:53.679 start a company to release that movie. 1104 01:00:54.039 --> 01:00:56.599 I want to see somebody put out like loving deluxe 1105 01:00:56.719 --> 01:00:58.199 editions of all of Jim's films. 1106 01:00:58.400 --> 01:01:02.840 Yeah, it's about Timepolis got it. My friend Klay westerveltz documentary, 1107 01:01:02.880 --> 01:01:04.159 which is fantastic. 1108 01:01:04.360 --> 01:01:05.480 It's such a good release. 1109 01:01:05.559 --> 01:01:06.800 It's so good. 1110 01:01:07.039 --> 01:01:09.480 All right. So that is Tulio check it out shipping 1111 01:01:09.719 --> 01:01:13.599 near the end of November, hopefully next is Imprint. They 1112 01:01:13.719 --> 01:01:17.599 announced a lot of stuff coming this month first January seventh. 1113 01:01:17.920 --> 01:01:20.159 We've got the Old Dark House in four K and 1114 01:01:20.199 --> 01:01:22.599 everything else in this is Blu Ray, but is a 1115 01:01:22.639 --> 01:01:26.639 box set directed by James Whale. So cool, going from 1116 01:01:26.679 --> 01:01:29.800 nineteen thirty two to nineteen forty. Green excuse me, Green 1117 01:01:29.840 --> 01:01:31.519 Hell from nineteen forty is the first time it's ever 1118 01:01:31.559 --> 01:01:34.079 been on Blu Ray. And then Wives under Suspicion from 1119 01:01:34.119 --> 01:01:36.360 nineteen thirty eight is an SD on this one. That's 1120 01:01:36.400 --> 01:01:39.360 all that they could get from material, but again new extras, 1121 01:01:39.400 --> 01:01:42.440 lots of stuff coming on this pretty giant box set 1122 01:01:42.480 --> 01:01:44.480 for people that love James Whale and to get this 1123 01:01:44.519 --> 01:01:46.440 from imprint. This looks really really good. 1124 01:01:46.760 --> 01:01:49.320 Yeah, I'm excited for that. I was talking about Whale 1125 01:01:49.360 --> 01:01:53.199 and a presentation I did at a halloweena Puluoza festival 1126 01:01:53.360 --> 01:01:56.400 in Iowa here a couple weeks ago, and I was 1127 01:01:56.679 --> 01:01:59.639 doing the history of the vampire film and talking about 1128 01:01:59.679 --> 01:02:05.800 Whale and how this guy was so veiled in mystery. Yeah, 1129 01:02:05.920 --> 01:02:07.800 you know, for a lot of reasons he was at 1130 01:02:07.800 --> 01:02:10.519 the time, and I'm so happy that he finally seems 1131 01:02:10.559 --> 01:02:13.320 to be getting his Not that he hasn't been celebrated 1132 01:02:13.320 --> 01:02:15.400 for a long time, right, not saying that, but I 1133 01:02:15.440 --> 01:02:18.000 mean this kind of stuff speaks to the fact that 1134 01:02:18.039 --> 01:02:20.519 people are really paying attention now and people are really 1135 01:02:20.559 --> 01:02:22.199 dialing into his work. It's great. 1136 01:02:23.360 --> 01:02:26.679 I yeah, highly recommend these, especially the Old Dark House. 1137 01:02:26.840 --> 01:02:28.760 This is probably the most recognizable one of this box 1138 01:02:28.880 --> 01:02:33.639 d but truly a masterpiece. Next up is a directed 1139 01:02:33.639 --> 01:02:36.119 by David Lean Box that. This is volume two. They 1140 01:02:36.119 --> 01:02:38.559 had already done one prior. This covers from nineteen forty 1141 01:02:38.639 --> 01:02:41.280 nine to nineteen fifty five. We've got the Passionate Friends, 1142 01:02:41.840 --> 01:02:44.159 Madeline's the first time it's been out on Blu ray 1143 01:02:44.199 --> 01:02:46.920 in the entire world. We've got the Sound Barrier, Hobson's 1144 01:02:47.000 --> 01:02:50.039 Choice Summertime, and this is coming in a big hard 1145 01:02:50.039 --> 01:02:53.039 box set like they do. You've got again, new extras 1146 01:02:53.079 --> 01:02:58.559 all over this thing, new audio commentaries, new appreciations, new interviews, 1147 01:02:58.880 --> 01:03:00.920 just pretty much anything that you could want on these 1148 01:03:00.960 --> 01:03:03.800 films that have not had great releases. So to have 1149 01:03:03.840 --> 01:03:07.119 all this together is incredible. Are you a David Lean 1150 01:03:07.199 --> 01:03:07.800 person at all? 1151 01:03:08.400 --> 01:03:10.559 I'm not that. I mean, I'm not well traveled with 1152 01:03:10.679 --> 01:03:13.360 David Lean, but I'm just laughing because I'm thinking, what 1153 01:03:13.480 --> 01:03:15.599 a great time to be a fan of film, What 1154 01:03:15.679 --> 01:03:18.119 a great time to be a collector. It really is. 1155 01:03:18.920 --> 01:03:20.559 I mean, on top of all the films, there's a 1156 01:03:20.599 --> 01:03:24.400 bonus disc in here that has a new documentary called 1157 01:03:24.400 --> 01:03:28.639 Before the Epic David Lean's Little Gems Part Two. There 1158 01:03:28.800 --> 01:03:32.360 is a David Lean's self portrait documentary from nineteen seventy one, 1159 01:03:32.800 --> 01:03:34.960 and then two features one from nineteen eighty five to 1160 01:03:35.039 --> 01:03:37.440 nineteen ninety on the South Bank Show. Plus it has 1161 01:03:37.480 --> 01:03:40.239 a seventy page booklet that's a hardcover book like this 1162 01:03:40.320 --> 01:03:43.280 is crazy. There's so much in this it is remarkable. 1163 01:03:43.679 --> 01:03:48.400 They are so exhaustive with their box sets. It's almost overwhelming. 1164 01:03:49.400 --> 01:03:53.039 Like the Folk Horror Box. I'm still going through it. 1165 01:03:53.239 --> 01:03:56.000 I'm still working that way through. That was them, right, Nope, 1166 01:03:56.000 --> 01:03:58.199 that was seven. I was seven. I'm sorry. Okay, all right, 1167 01:03:58.320 --> 01:03:58.800 my bad. 1168 01:03:59.280 --> 01:04:01.519 If it's an exhaust box that it was probably so okay, 1169 01:04:01.599 --> 01:04:04.840 seven all right. But I mean Imprint has done a 1170 01:04:04.880 --> 01:04:06.440 lot of box sets over the last couple of years. 1171 01:04:06.920 --> 01:04:08.280 The big thing. I don't know if you've picked up 1172 01:04:08.280 --> 01:04:10.320 any of them, but the Tales of Adventure box sets. 1173 01:04:10.639 --> 01:04:13.280 I think they've done like nine of them now, and 1174 01:04:13.360 --> 01:04:16.320 each one has I think at least four films, and 1175 01:04:16.360 --> 01:04:18.480 some of them have five or six, and they're just 1176 01:04:19.039 --> 01:04:24.880 the old adventure films that are crazy moment Yeah, two 1177 01:04:25.000 --> 01:04:30.159 too many. Next from Imprint is Alfred Hitchcock The Early 1178 01:04:30.280 --> 01:04:33.360 Years Volume two. This covers nineteen thirty six to nineteen 1179 01:04:33.400 --> 01:04:36.119 forty and has sabotage Young and Innocent, the Lady vanishes, 1180 01:04:36.480 --> 01:04:40.039 foreign correspondents, and then Waltz is from Vienna from nineteen 1181 01:04:40.079 --> 01:04:42.119 thirty four. Is an SD only, but it is on 1182 01:04:42.199 --> 01:04:45.599 Blu Ray and uh yeah, good good looking stuff to 1183 01:04:45.599 --> 01:04:48.639 go with that first box that they did again, exhaustive 1184 01:04:48.679 --> 01:04:53.039 special features, new commentaries, new appreciations, pretty much anything that 1185 01:04:53.039 --> 01:04:55.039 you would want for these titles as well and for 1186 01:04:55.280 --> 01:04:58.719 for Hitchcock fans. The Imprint has been given a lot 1187 01:04:58.840 --> 01:05:00.840 for you to appreciate, that's for sure. 1188 01:05:01.079 --> 01:05:03.800 It's nice that they aren't just relegated to those public 1189 01:05:03.840 --> 01:05:09.920 domain Yeah, that the same transfers shuffled through multiple box 1190 01:05:09.960 --> 01:05:13.440 sets and cheapy little bargain bin releases. It's great to 1191 01:05:13.440 --> 01:05:14.159 see this happen. 1192 01:05:14.679 --> 01:05:22.320 Yeah, it is pretty impressive. Dorrit Brian says, don't worry 1193 01:05:22.320 --> 01:05:25.199 about Waltz being an SD it sucks at any restons. 1194 01:05:28.400 --> 01:05:33.400 That's pretty good. That's funny. Next up is Terror Vision 1195 01:05:33.639 --> 01:05:37.800 again the Basement horror anthology. So this is from nineteen 1196 01:05:37.800 --> 01:05:41.239 eighty nine. This had originally come out from Camp Motion Pictures, 1197 01:05:41.400 --> 01:05:45.199 and this little hint in one of their paragraphs here 1198 01:05:45.320 --> 01:05:48.039 says that they are working with Camp Motion Pictures to 1199 01:05:48.079 --> 01:05:50.920 bring the one Slots film to HG for the very 1200 01:05:50.920 --> 01:05:54.880 first time, and more coming from Camp Motion Pictures eventually 1201 01:05:54.880 --> 01:05:57.599 from Terror Vision. The Basement Horor Anthology. Is this one 1202 01:05:57.599 --> 01:05:58.360 that you've ever seen? 1203 01:05:58.840 --> 01:06:01.760 I haven't no, but the camp stuff I have so 1204 01:06:01.880 --> 01:06:07.119 much of. Yeah, Beauty gleeen Butcher was shot here in Iowa. Yeah, 1205 01:06:07.119 --> 01:06:08.400 that was Camp Motion Pictures. 1206 01:06:09.639 --> 01:06:13.199 This is a crazy release because I believe and for 1207 01:06:13.320 --> 01:06:15.159 terr Vision this is saying a lot. I believe this 1208 01:06:15.320 --> 01:06:19.480 is the most robust release they've ever put out. All 1209 01:06:19.519 --> 01:06:22.079 of these bonus features would take me like the next 1210 01:06:22.119 --> 01:06:24.840 four minutes to go through new interviews with all kinds 1211 01:06:24.880 --> 01:06:29.360 of people, multiple new commentaries, multiple short films. There are 1212 01:06:29.480 --> 01:06:34.440 multiple like old TV spots. There are like Middleland Showcase, 1213 01:06:34.480 --> 01:06:37.519 the Halloween Takeover from nineteen eighty nine, a couple other 1214 01:06:37.559 --> 01:06:42.679 Midland Showcase, Horror Host TV pilots, FBI Guys episode, and 1215 01:06:42.719 --> 01:06:45.599 then of course after all of that, they also have 1216 01:06:45.800 --> 01:06:48.400 a CD of the soundtrack on this, like, this is 1217 01:06:49.000 --> 01:06:52.960 an absolutely astonishing release of the Basement, which the previous 1218 01:06:53.000 --> 01:06:57.519 release of this was pretty terrible looking, and now this 1219 01:06:57.599 --> 01:07:00.280 is going to be the best release this has ever gone. 1220 01:07:00.360 --> 01:07:02.639 I remember the videotape release that they did of that 1221 01:07:03.039 --> 01:07:04.840 kind of floating around. I remember it was always in 1222 01:07:04.920 --> 01:07:06.639 a meba. They always had it on the end cap, 1223 01:07:06.679 --> 01:07:11.360 almost like somebody by this please. It's great to see 1224 01:07:11.440 --> 01:07:13.880 this get this kind of love in any movie, and 1225 01:07:13.920 --> 01:07:15.840 I think that they take pride in that. I know 1226 01:07:15.880 --> 01:07:18.360 you work closely with them, but it's almost like the 1227 01:07:18.480 --> 01:07:22.639 more obscure, like we're gonna that we're gonna show, We're 1228 01:07:22.639 --> 01:07:25.119 going to show the critics, we're gonna cram this thing 1229 01:07:25.199 --> 01:07:27.639 so full. I love it well. 1230 01:07:27.679 --> 01:07:29.639 And you worked with them as well. What are some 1231 01:07:29.679 --> 01:07:31.000 of the titles that you worked on when you were 1232 01:07:31.000 --> 01:07:32.119 with Terror Vision for a while. 1233 01:07:32.599 --> 01:07:38.000 I was the first run of them, Like, yeah, see, 1234 01:07:38.039 --> 01:07:40.280 I should have been prepared to pull this stuff up, 1235 01:07:42.119 --> 01:07:47.400 but I was. I mean, I was doing Copperhead Captives. 1236 01:07:51.000 --> 01:07:53.840 I can't even remember them all, but I was. Oh, 1237 01:07:53.880 --> 01:07:55.599 we did Hollowgate. That was the one that I was 1238 01:07:55.639 --> 01:07:59.280 probably had the most fun with. I was so I 1239 01:07:59.320 --> 01:08:01.519 love that movie my life, and I still had my 1240 01:08:01.559 --> 01:08:04.159 original videotape that I got from a video store when 1241 01:08:04.159 --> 01:08:07.960 they went under, and I just loved that movie and 1242 01:08:08.000 --> 01:08:10.440 it ended up being I don't think we ever really 1243 01:08:10.440 --> 01:08:13.239 talked about it, but it ended up being the director 1244 01:08:13.360 --> 01:08:17.960 Ray's final interview. He's like maybe first and final. He 1245 01:08:18.359 --> 01:08:22.039 was so excited to be a part of that, and 1246 01:08:22.079 --> 01:08:24.239 his wife reached out to me a few weeks maybe 1247 01:08:24.239 --> 01:08:28.000 a month after it went down, and she just said 1248 01:08:28.000 --> 01:08:29.960 that it was the greatest joy for him to have 1249 01:08:30.000 --> 01:08:32.640 a chance to see this movie get some love. So 1250 01:08:32.680 --> 01:08:35.239 it isn't just for the fans if these things are happening, 1251 01:08:35.840 --> 01:08:38.039 it's also for the filmmakers, for the people who were 1252 01:08:38.119 --> 01:08:42.199 part of these things that in like Ray's case, it's 1253 01:08:42.600 --> 01:08:46.640 a bullet point on his history. You know, he went 1254 01:08:46.680 --> 01:08:49.199 on to do other things and he never really became 1255 01:08:49.239 --> 01:08:52.000 the filmmaker that he wanted to be, and so to 1256 01:08:52.000 --> 01:08:55.960 have it celebrated, especially at that time, was just so special. 1257 01:08:56.760 --> 01:09:00.159 But I was cutting trailers for Terror Vision and we 1258 01:09:00.159 --> 01:09:01.880 were doing all sorts of stuff in the beginning. It 1259 01:09:01.920 --> 01:09:06.520 was tremendously exciting and how aggressive Brad and Ryan were 1260 01:09:06.640 --> 01:09:08.960 about like we're gonna like, we got so much great 1261 01:09:08.960 --> 01:09:12.760 stuff here. We really want to brank this out. Just 1262 01:09:13.239 --> 01:09:15.479 it's been great to see them the last like this 1263 01:09:16.279 --> 01:09:18.720 rise over the last year here especially. 1264 01:09:19.279 --> 01:09:23.960 Yeah, I agree. Next up, we've got an anime released 1265 01:09:24.039 --> 01:09:27.199 January twelfth. We're getting a Blu ray of Assassination Classroom, 1266 01:09:27.239 --> 01:09:30.479 the complete series from twenty thirteen to twenty sixteen. I'm 1267 01:09:30.520 --> 01:09:33.279 not huge on anime. Have you seen much anime? Are 1268 01:09:33.279 --> 01:09:34.079 you into it? No? 1269 01:09:34.119 --> 01:09:35.560 I haven't really seen too much. 1270 01:09:35.640 --> 01:09:38.800 No, I have heard this is not very good, so 1271 01:09:38.840 --> 01:09:41.279 I won't spend much time on this. However, check it 1272 01:09:41.279 --> 01:09:43.720 out from crunchy roll if you're into it. I remember 1273 01:09:43.760 --> 01:09:46.520 seeing the cover art for this and the smiley faced 1274 01:09:46.560 --> 01:09:48.840 thing everywhere for a little while, so I know at 1275 01:09:48.960 --> 01:09:50.359 least many people were into it. 1276 01:09:50.560 --> 01:09:51.399 Okay, good. 1277 01:09:53.039 --> 01:09:55.800 Next one that I've never seen, and I think this 1278 01:09:55.840 --> 01:09:57.880 is one of the most divisive announcements I put out 1279 01:09:57.880 --> 01:09:59.640 this week. Like half the people will like this is 1280 01:09:59.640 --> 01:10:02.840 a pilot shit the other effort, This is an underrated masterpiece. 1281 01:10:02.920 --> 01:10:06.439 That's what you believe exactly. It gets people talking. You 1282 01:10:06.479 --> 01:10:10.039 know what? Ray Area November tenth, the Blu ray in 1283 01:10:10.039 --> 01:10:12.720 the UK from screen Bound is the Libertine from two 1284 01:10:12.720 --> 01:10:16.079 thousand and four, starring Johnny Depp and John Malkovich. I 1285 01:10:16.199 --> 01:10:17.880 gotta be honest, I don't think i'd even heard of 1286 01:10:17.920 --> 01:10:18.359 this one. 1287 01:10:18.479 --> 01:10:20.600 Yeah, pass me by as well another one. 1288 01:10:21.199 --> 01:10:23.720 There's a making of doc, some deleted scenes and a 1289 01:10:23.760 --> 01:10:26.399 director's commentary on this and as far as I can tell, 1290 01:10:26.520 --> 01:10:28.600 this has never had a US Blu ray, so this 1291 01:10:28.640 --> 01:10:31.359 will likely be the first English friendly Blu ray that 1292 01:10:31.359 --> 01:10:33.640 you can pick up. For this one. Screen Boud kind 1293 01:10:33.640 --> 01:10:35.399 of doing a lot of stuff lately, so it's nice 1294 01:10:35.399 --> 01:10:40.920 to see good stuff next to another UK company, Dazzler Media, 1295 01:10:41.600 --> 01:10:44.840 choosing Mary and George to put out on four K 1296 01:10:45.039 --> 01:10:48.439 on December first. They have been making some interesting choices 1297 01:10:48.479 --> 01:10:51.119 on wan to put on four K lately. I'm glad 1298 01:10:51.119 --> 01:10:53.840 that they have confidence in this one, but not one 1299 01:10:53.880 --> 01:10:56.800 I ever expected on four K. I know Julianne Moore 1300 01:10:56.880 --> 01:10:58.239 was the big selling point for this, but I never 1301 01:10:58.319 --> 01:11:00.279 checked this one out. Did you see this note? 1302 01:11:00.279 --> 01:11:01.920 Is that why she's the only one with her whole 1303 01:11:01.960 --> 01:11:03.479 face visible on the front? 1304 01:11:03.600 --> 01:11:06.359 I believe so, or that was likely in her contract? 1305 01:11:06.520 --> 01:11:12.560 Yeah right, Yeah, have not seen this one. Curious at 1306 01:11:12.600 --> 01:11:13.239 the very least. 1307 01:11:13.600 --> 01:11:16.560 Yeah, Well, she's great, She's next one. 1308 01:11:16.800 --> 01:11:20.640 She is always incredible. This one I'm very excited to 1309 01:11:20.720 --> 01:11:22.560 check out. I've been checking out some more of these 1310 01:11:22.600 --> 01:11:26.239 smaller documentaries lately, and November eighteenth, Music Box is putting 1311 01:11:26.239 --> 01:11:28.920 out a blu ray of Secret Mall Apartment from last year. 1312 01:11:29.479 --> 01:11:32.039 This is about eight Rhode Island artists who created a 1313 01:11:32.079 --> 01:11:36.119 secret apartment inside the busy Providence Place mall and lived 1314 01:11:36.159 --> 01:11:41.319 there for four years, filming everything. During their journey. They 1315 01:11:41.359 --> 01:11:44.920 snuck in furniture, tapped into the mall's electricity, and even 1316 01:11:45.000 --> 01:11:49.279 constructed a wall itself, smuggling in more than two tons 1317 01:11:49.640 --> 01:11:52.880 of cinder blocks. 1318 01:11:52.720 --> 01:11:53.800 That's amazing. 1319 01:11:55.399 --> 01:11:58.199 I'm in Yeah, I gotta see this. I'm very excited 1320 01:11:58.199 --> 01:12:00.840 for music Boxes kind of Quiet putting us some really 1321 01:12:00.840 --> 01:12:04.199 great stuff. I don't think there's any extras on this, 1322 01:12:04.279 --> 01:12:07.319 but I'm just dying to see this documentary. This sounds amazing, absolutely, 1323 01:12:07.960 --> 01:12:10.439 especially after this year's Roofman. Did you see that with 1324 01:12:10.479 --> 01:12:11.159 Channing Tatum? 1325 01:12:11.359 --> 01:12:13.560 No, see, you're so much, You're so up on things. 1326 01:12:14.840 --> 01:12:20.279 I'm here with blinders on, editing and shooting all the time, 1327 01:12:20.720 --> 01:12:25.039 and you're I rely on you. I rely on you 1328 01:12:25.600 --> 01:12:27.960 and your posts to help me understand anything about the 1329 01:12:28.000 --> 01:12:31.159 outside world. I'm like a hibernating bear that's perpetually down 1330 01:12:31.199 --> 01:12:31.840 in my cave. 1331 01:12:32.600 --> 01:12:35.319 Well, if you get a chance, I suggest checking out Roofman. 1332 01:12:35.439 --> 01:12:39.319 Roofman is about a guy I think it was in 1333 01:12:39.359 --> 01:12:43.720 North Carolina. He escaped from prison under a truck that 1334 01:12:43.800 --> 01:12:46.960 he was working on in the prison and went out 1335 01:12:47.039 --> 01:12:50.760 and lived in a toys R Russ for like seven 1336 01:12:50.840 --> 01:12:53.760 or eight months, hiding from the cops. And it's a 1337 01:12:53.880 --> 01:12:56.279 true story, Like almost everything in the movie was based 1338 01:12:56.279 --> 01:13:00.720 on fairly true facts. Gosh, it was shot ing Lee great. 1339 01:13:01.000 --> 01:13:02.960 I definitely recommend it. 1340 01:13:02.960 --> 01:13:04.039 I'm gonna write that down. 1341 01:13:05.520 --> 01:13:09.079 And Kirsten Duntz isn't and she's very good too. What 1342 01:13:10.960 --> 01:13:15.199 Roofman all one word? Roofman got it? Next? We got 1343 01:13:15.880 --> 01:13:19.319 Decal soon putting out a blu ray of this year's 1344 01:13:19.359 --> 01:13:22.960 Bone Lake. This is one of those two couples book 1345 01:13:23.039 --> 01:13:25.479 an Airbnb at the same time and they have to 1346 01:13:25.479 --> 01:13:28.239 figure it out. Horror movies that seem to be a 1347 01:13:28.319 --> 01:13:31.720 thing lately, like that's a new genre. Didn't love this, 1348 01:13:31.960 --> 01:13:35.880 but I liked it, and I kind of liked that 1349 01:13:35.960 --> 01:13:39.399 in a wide theatrical release, this thing got a little 1350 01:13:39.399 --> 01:13:43.159 extra sleezy in its plot. It wasn't like super nudity heavy, 1351 01:13:43.600 --> 01:13:47.239 but the actual plot was sleezy, which kind of nice 1352 01:13:47.239 --> 01:13:49.119 to see you in twenty twenty five when everybody's trying 1353 01:13:49.159 --> 01:13:50.039 to go extra prude. 1354 01:13:50.359 --> 01:13:52.520 Yeah, bring it. 1355 01:13:52.520 --> 01:13:56.840 It's a good one. Check it out. Next is Coyotes, 1356 01:13:56.840 --> 01:13:59.600 which I have not heard a single good thing about yet. 1357 01:14:00.359 --> 01:14:02.479 This is coming out Blu Ray November twenty fifth from 1358 01:14:02.520 --> 01:14:05.880 dcal as well. This is starring Justin Long and literally 1359 01:14:05.920 --> 01:14:07.840 about some people trapped in their house and it gets 1360 01:14:07.880 --> 01:14:13.199 overran by coyotes and the CGI is supposedly just some 1361 01:14:13.319 --> 01:14:16.199 of the worst that have come out this year. Kind 1362 01:14:16.199 --> 01:14:18.760 of curious to see this because Justin Long is like 1363 01:14:18.800 --> 01:14:21.159 one of the best final guys in horror right now 1364 01:14:21.560 --> 01:14:23.720 and not even right now for the last twenty years. 1365 01:14:24.039 --> 01:14:28.479 And I don't know, it sounds fun and I'm supposedly 1366 01:14:28.520 --> 01:14:29.319 it's real. 1367 01:14:29.239 --> 01:14:31.800 Bad all right. Well that makes me want to see 1368 01:14:31.800 --> 01:14:32.880 it more, honestly, So. 1369 01:14:33.520 --> 01:14:37.359 Honestly same. Another person that works in this industry that 1370 01:14:37.399 --> 01:14:40.439 I appreciate a lot is mister Daniel Kramer, and you 1371 01:14:40.439 --> 01:14:43.239 can now check out his newest book, which is Adventures 1372 01:14:43.239 --> 01:14:47.800 and au Tourism, a crusade for the critically neglected. This 1373 01:14:47.880 --> 01:14:51.039 has a long table of contents of directors that he 1374 01:14:51.159 --> 01:14:54.399 is covering that have never gotten not even just like 1375 01:14:54.680 --> 01:14:57.800 enough love, but in many of the cases no love. 1376 01:14:58.359 --> 01:15:01.439 These are directors that have been overlooked in almost every 1377 01:15:01.479 --> 01:15:03.800 single way. And he worked on this for quite some time. 1378 01:15:04.199 --> 01:15:06.520 Love the cover right here from Scott Saslow. I think 1379 01:15:06.560 --> 01:15:09.640 it is very eye catching. This is definitely what I'm 1380 01:15:09.920 --> 01:15:12.279 going to be reading here soon. You can pick this 1381 01:15:12.359 --> 01:15:14.960 up from the publisher, but also currently available from Amazon. 1382 01:15:15.439 --> 01:15:20.479 And Daniel is a brilliant, brilliant mind. Very curious to 1383 01:15:20.520 --> 01:15:22.960 see how this turns out for everybody. I know this 1384 01:15:23.039 --> 01:15:25.199 is probably a hard sell because if you are walking 1385 01:15:25.239 --> 01:15:27.560 into this, you're not going, oh, I love that director, 1386 01:15:27.600 --> 01:15:29.960 because the whole point of this is that you probably 1387 01:15:30.000 --> 01:15:32.479 have not seen or heard of the director's name in 1388 01:15:32.560 --> 01:15:36.520 much of anything. So kind of very, very very curious 1389 01:15:36.520 --> 01:15:39.039 to see how this goes over with fans of film. 1390 01:15:39.159 --> 01:15:41.079 I'm so glad he did this. Daniel's screen. 1391 01:15:43.000 --> 01:15:45.880 He also mentioned this week he's working on another book 1392 01:15:45.960 --> 01:15:48.560 already and another documentary that's supposed to be coming out 1393 01:15:48.560 --> 01:15:54.760 this year, which is just insanity. Daniel, Yeah, check this 1394 01:15:54.840 --> 01:15:58.319 one out. Everybody highly highly recommend checking out his reading. 1395 01:16:00.039 --> 01:16:03.199 To Macabre is having their Halloween sale here soon and 1396 01:16:03.199 --> 01:16:05.279 they are releasing five titles as part of it. We're 1397 01:16:05.279 --> 01:16:07.640 gonna be talking about two of them tonight and three 1398 01:16:07.680 --> 01:16:09.960 of them next week, and these are all going to 1399 01:16:09.960 --> 01:16:14.000 be on sale one week from today. October thirtieth is 1400 01:16:14.039 --> 01:16:17.359 when the sale starts. This is going up at nine 1401 01:16:17.439 --> 01:16:21.800 am Pacific twelve noon Eastern next Thursday. The first title 1402 01:16:21.840 --> 01:16:24.479 here is a four K release of The Devil's Nightmare. 1403 01:16:24.520 --> 01:16:27.880 They had put this out previously, and the Blu ray 1404 01:16:28.000 --> 01:16:32.159 for this looked pretty poor. I think Modern Macabro would 1405 01:16:32.159 --> 01:16:33.479 be one of the first ones to say that it 1406 01:16:33.600 --> 01:16:36.319 is not one that looked great in HD, but it 1407 01:16:36.439 --> 01:16:39.760 also wasn't a scan from the OCN and this one is. 1408 01:16:40.159 --> 01:16:43.159 So this is going to look leaps and bounds better 1409 01:16:43.279 --> 01:16:45.960 than the previous release, brand new four K scan of 1410 01:16:45.960 --> 01:16:48.680 the OCN, But on top of that, they're going above 1411 01:16:48.720 --> 01:16:50.279 and beyond to make it a better release. We've got 1412 01:16:50.279 --> 01:16:53.640 new interviews here with the star Erica Blanc and the director. 1413 01:16:54.359 --> 01:16:59.399 We've got visual essay here by Christoph Beier. There's all 1414 01:16:59.479 --> 01:17:01.880 kinds of stuff and this that look great and really 1415 01:17:01.880 --> 01:17:04.159 make it worth upgrading even if you had the old 1416 01:17:04.159 --> 01:17:07.600 Blu Ray. I love landa mccopper. Are they a company 1417 01:17:07.640 --> 01:17:09.119 that you've been deep into ever? 1418 01:17:09.479 --> 01:17:13.039 I became obsessed with them many years ago with Nice 1419 01:17:13.319 --> 01:17:15.199 and the movie that really did it for me was 1420 01:17:15.279 --> 01:17:19.239 Lady Terminator. It's so good and every time they make 1421 01:17:19.279 --> 01:17:21.319 these and I'm so glad they're still around, and I'm 1422 01:17:21.359 --> 01:17:24.640 so glad that they're continuing to they're up scaling this 1423 01:17:24.720 --> 01:17:27.600 stuff great, not upscale, but you know the fact that 1424 01:17:27.600 --> 01:17:29.560 they're giving new love to these and putting him in 1425 01:17:29.560 --> 01:17:33.920 proper packages with new special features, because a lot of 1426 01:17:33.960 --> 01:17:37.520 their stuff just was languishing on DVD for so long, 1427 01:17:37.640 --> 01:17:39.479 and there was this list of titles that I'm like, 1428 01:17:39.520 --> 01:17:41.760 but at the top of it every time, and every 1429 01:17:41.760 --> 01:17:44.319 time I see their name pop up and they're making 1430 01:17:44.359 --> 01:17:47.439 some announcement, I'm like, it's got to be Lady t 1431 01:17:48.479 --> 01:17:52.520 Give Lady Terminator a four K release. Even Blu Ray 1432 01:17:52.800 --> 01:17:55.640 would make me so happy, but they are the only 1433 01:17:55.680 --> 01:17:58.119 ones who would do that. And I was so obsessed 1434 01:17:58.199 --> 01:18:01.239 with Lady Terminator. After Discovery, my friend Jake got a 1435 01:18:01.279 --> 01:18:03.079 copy of it and we used to do movie nights 1436 01:18:03.119 --> 01:18:04.720 over at his old place where he had like a 1437 01:18:04.760 --> 01:18:07.680 movie room, and he's like, you got to see this. 1438 01:18:08.359 --> 01:18:12.079 Put it in blew my mind. I've talked, I talk 1439 01:18:12.159 --> 01:18:14.439 about it all the time. I'm like panels and stuff 1440 01:18:14.439 --> 01:18:18.600 I bring. I love that movie. And then I tracked 1441 01:18:18.600 --> 01:18:22.199 down Barbara Ann Constable, the gal who plays Lady Terminator 1442 01:18:22.239 --> 01:18:25.279 in the film, an interviewer for Fangoria years ago, and 1443 01:18:25.319 --> 01:18:28.640 she was so surprised when I called. She's like, how 1444 01:18:28.680 --> 01:18:33.640 to is that out? Is that on video? And I'm like, yeah, 1445 01:18:33.800 --> 01:18:37.880 that's on DVD. She's like, I didn't think anybody. It 1446 01:18:37.920 --> 01:18:41.520 was a great conversation in the end, and really wonderful 1447 01:18:41.920 --> 01:18:43.800 issue of Fango that that was in. But one of 1448 01:18:43.800 --> 01:18:46.840 my proudest and most excited moments was getting Barbara Ann 1449 01:18:46.880 --> 01:18:49.720 on the phone and talking about that all because of Mondo, 1450 01:18:49.760 --> 01:18:52.760 and Mondo is the only one who would touch a 1451 01:18:52.800 --> 01:18:54.840 lot of what they have in their catalog, and I 1452 01:18:55.000 --> 01:18:56.600 just adore them. 1453 01:18:58.000 --> 01:19:01.960 Brian shares the sad news. He says, my understanding is 1454 01:19:02.000 --> 01:19:05.680 there no elements for Lady Timmern or just that one print. However, 1455 01:19:06.119 --> 01:19:09.319 they have seen to have said that they are hitting 1456 01:19:09.760 --> 01:19:12.800 multiple roadblocks, so it seems like they're trying to get there. 1457 01:19:13.239 --> 01:19:14.920 I'm not sure if there's ever a way to get there, 1458 01:19:14.960 --> 01:19:17.720 but I'll share the same hope that every time they 1459 01:19:17.720 --> 01:19:21.000 started announcing stuff, I am dying for an upgrade to that. 1460 01:19:21.279 --> 01:19:24.520 Yeah, absolutely cannot wait and go Mondo. 1461 01:19:25.319 --> 01:19:31.000 Yes, God, Manda Maccabero is always incredible. Next, we were 1462 01:19:31.000 --> 01:19:33.640 talking about Dan Curtis before, and we got some details 1463 01:19:33.720 --> 01:19:36.159 on the newest one. This is coming out December ninth. 1464 01:19:36.159 --> 01:19:38.199 This is going to be number forty two in the 1465 01:19:38.279 --> 01:19:41.439 Keno cult line, and it is Dan Curtis's Got the 1466 01:19:41.600 --> 01:19:45.159 Tales from nineteen seventy three to seventy four. We've got 1467 01:19:45.520 --> 01:19:50.359 introductions here by Jeff Thompson, We've got audio commentaries by 1468 01:19:50.399 --> 01:19:54.680 David Delval Anthony Slide, and then the Turn of the 1469 01:19:54.680 --> 01:19:58.600 Screw promotional short featuring interviews with Dan Curtis and Lynn Redgrave. 1470 01:19:59.199 --> 01:20:01.840 I love that they're putting this work into these. 1471 01:20:01.960 --> 01:20:05.760 Yeah, and I love that they're making them consistent even visually. 1472 01:20:06.000 --> 01:20:09.680 That is creating a collection corner for people who love 1473 01:20:09.720 --> 01:20:13.479 this stuff, and that Dan Curtis's films are finally getting 1474 01:20:14.239 --> 01:20:17.239 I mean everyone knows him for the other thing. Yeah, 1475 01:20:17.279 --> 01:20:21.359 there's all this too, and I think it's just awesome 1476 01:20:21.399 --> 01:20:23.600 that Keno is giving these the love and bringing on, 1477 01:20:23.680 --> 01:20:27.239 like David Delval is always so great. Yeah, So a 1478 01:20:27.279 --> 01:20:31.199 consistent voice over these different releases, I think that's important too. 1479 01:20:31.479 --> 01:20:35.279 I did that with Nat Bremmer on the Umbrella, all 1480 01:20:35.319 --> 01:20:38.079 of the Full Moon Umbrella stuff. I wanted NAT's voice 1481 01:20:38.319 --> 01:20:42.479 throughout because like he's the authority, he's the historian, and 1482 01:20:42.520 --> 01:20:46.159 so this kind of approach. It just shows that Keno's 1483 01:20:46.199 --> 01:20:47.640 really putting love into it. 1484 01:20:49.279 --> 01:20:52.159 Yep. I appreciate them for this. They made for TV 1485 01:20:52.279 --> 01:20:55.319 stuff always overlooked, so the fact that we're getting it 1486 01:20:55.359 --> 01:21:01.720 is a pretty big deal. Let's talk it. So December thirtieth, 1487 01:21:01.840 --> 01:21:05.560 we can finally get Breakdown on four K outside of 1488 01:21:05.560 --> 01:21:09.159 the Paramount Scares box set. This is from volume two. This. 1489 01:21:09.520 --> 01:21:11.239 I think this had been released on its own in 1490 01:21:11.279 --> 01:21:14.960 the UK already, right it has, Okay, so if you 1491 01:21:15.000 --> 01:21:17.199 imported it you could have got it before. But now 1492 01:21:17.359 --> 01:21:18.960 in the US you can get this on four K 1493 01:21:19.000 --> 01:21:22.039 in December thirtieth on its own. Thing. Tell us about 1494 01:21:22.079 --> 01:21:24.119 putting this together and the special features that are on here, 1495 01:21:24.119 --> 01:21:24.880 because it's all you. 1496 01:21:25.239 --> 01:21:29.640 It was the greatest, It was so amazing to get. 1497 01:21:29.920 --> 01:21:30.079 Well. 1498 01:21:30.159 --> 01:21:34.800 Jonathan Mastaw, the director, was yeah, I agree. Did someone 1499 01:21:34.840 --> 01:21:36.640 just say Dark Shadows should be on blu ray? 1500 01:21:36.800 --> 01:21:39.199 Yeah? Do you imagine a Dark Shadows blue ray box set? 1501 01:21:39.199 --> 01:21:40.279 How many discs would that be? 1502 01:21:40.439 --> 01:21:42.960 My question is, can you imagine the expense to do 1503 01:21:43.119 --> 01:21:46.359 new transfers on all those that they struggled with even before? 1504 01:21:46.680 --> 01:21:48.760 And if they look so weird in that chubby coffin 1505 01:21:48.800 --> 01:21:51.119 that they sell them in like they think that's gonna 1506 01:21:51.119 --> 01:21:54.359 look cool on the shelf, but it's like Peter Griffin's coffin. 1507 01:21:54.479 --> 01:21:59.600 What is happening over there? But anyway, breakdown. I love 1508 01:21:59.640 --> 01:22:02.399 this movie. Yeah, well, I really really think this is 1509 01:22:02.520 --> 01:22:05.600 one of the best Kurt Russell movies period and one 1510 01:22:05.640 --> 01:22:08.880 of the best kind of action dramas of the era 1511 01:22:09.039 --> 01:22:13.560 of its era. Quinlan, Kathleen, Quinlan is everybody, JT. Walsh, 1512 01:22:13.600 --> 01:22:16.920 Everybody's so good in this movie. But it's not one 1513 01:22:17.199 --> 01:22:21.680 because it's it's kind of overshadowed in the Russell verse. 1514 01:22:22.960 --> 01:22:27.319 That's you can use that trademark real you can have 1515 01:22:27.399 --> 01:22:31.680 that rund But within Kurt's catalog, this isn't one that 1516 01:22:31.760 --> 01:22:34.319 I think a lot of people talk about. But when 1517 01:22:34.319 --> 01:22:39.319 I talk to filmmakers people love this film, and getting 1518 01:22:39.359 --> 01:22:43.720 to meet director Jonathan Mostow, who is so wonderful to 1519 01:22:43.760 --> 01:22:47.600 deal with and very open about the whole process. We 1520 01:22:47.640 --> 01:22:49.439 did a new I did a new interview with him, 1521 01:22:49.920 --> 01:22:54.359 and then I brought him in Kurt together for audio commentary, 1522 01:22:55.119 --> 01:22:58.319 which was a total thrill. I mean, like Kurt Russell 1523 01:22:58.399 --> 01:23:00.640 showing up in the Paramount a lot and it's like, 1524 01:23:01.600 --> 01:23:03.720 I don't know, Elvis is in the building, and he 1525 01:23:03.760 --> 01:23:06.880 played Elvis right for John Carpenter of all people, but 1526 01:23:06.960 --> 01:23:10.920 it's like, Russell's here. Russell's here, and like the birds landed, 1527 01:23:11.279 --> 01:23:13.840 and everybody was so jazzed for him to walk in there. 1528 01:23:13.960 --> 01:23:18.479 I'm I love his commentaries, just full stop, but also 1529 01:23:19.000 --> 01:23:23.520 his Carpenter. The Carpenter russell commentaries everyone knows are so magical, 1530 01:23:23.920 --> 01:23:27.600 but it's everyone's like, oh, it's just their magic. Masta 1531 01:23:27.800 --> 01:23:30.680 was kind of a buttoned up guy. He's sweet, he's 1532 01:23:30.720 --> 01:23:34.119 so sincere, but he's not a real jokester, I guess, 1533 01:23:34.199 --> 01:23:37.560 I'd say, But when Kurt walked in the room and 1534 01:23:37.600 --> 01:23:41.079 they're sitting by each other, it just became laughs. In 1535 01:23:41.159 --> 01:23:45.159 great stories and wonderful reveals about the whole thing. Kurt 1536 01:23:45.279 --> 01:23:47.479 clearly hadn't seen the movie in a very long time, 1537 01:23:47.800 --> 01:23:50.960 and he's like, what am I doing? What He's talking 1538 01:23:51.000 --> 01:23:55.199 to the screen and making Jonathan laugh. It was magical 1539 01:23:55.399 --> 01:24:00.319 to have them doing that together. And then the great 1540 01:24:00.319 --> 01:24:05.159 honors of this one was getting Dino Dalearentis's widow, Martha 1541 01:24:05.199 --> 01:24:10.840 Da Laurentis, in to do an interview, and she really 1542 01:24:11.000 --> 01:24:16.680 had it brought a perspective to the table that I think, 1543 01:24:16.800 --> 01:24:22.359 without Dino's presence would have been literally impossible. And I've 1544 01:24:22.439 --> 01:24:24.880 ended up working on a bunch of Dino dale Lorentis 1545 01:24:24.960 --> 01:24:27.720 films over the last like five years, like King Kong's 1546 01:24:27.720 --> 01:24:30.119 seventy six. I mean, it's like, I think there's probably 1547 01:24:30.119 --> 01:24:32.399 like six of them that I've done over that span. 1548 01:24:33.279 --> 01:24:35.199 And so to have Martha come in and do that 1549 01:24:35.640 --> 01:24:38.520 was so great and she was amazing, and then she 1550 01:24:38.680 --> 01:24:41.600 sadly passed away just a couple months later, and it 1551 01:24:41.680 --> 01:24:47.359 was so unexpected, and but we have her here right like, 1552 01:24:47.840 --> 01:24:50.119 I don't know that she's on any other release, but 1553 01:24:50.560 --> 01:24:52.439 we were lucky enough to bring her in for this. 1554 01:24:52.720 --> 01:24:58.399 And then the great find Imprint had done a maybe 1555 01:24:58.479 --> 01:25:01.079 I think it was a blu ray of breakdown that 1556 01:25:01.239 --> 01:25:04.279 landed a few months, I think even before Hours did 1557 01:25:04.399 --> 01:25:08.520 from Paramount, and there was talk of the alternate opening 1558 01:25:08.560 --> 01:25:11.560 sequence on theirs, but all they had were like grainy 1559 01:25:11.600 --> 01:25:16.199 screen caps of it. And I had the benefit, again, 1560 01:25:16.239 --> 01:25:19.520 no magic on my part. I had the benefit of 1561 01:25:19.560 --> 01:25:23.359 the amazing Paramount Archive team who were always down for 1562 01:25:23.439 --> 01:25:25.960 the hunt, like, Okay, it doesn't matter if it's on 1563 01:25:25.960 --> 01:25:28.439 our sheet, We're going to go look, we will open 1564 01:25:28.520 --> 01:25:31.720 the vaults, we will literally go and dig. And I 1565 01:25:31.800 --> 01:25:34.279 found that over and over with them the whole time, 1566 01:25:34.279 --> 01:25:36.159 and that was one of the greatest joys of being 1567 01:25:36.199 --> 01:25:40.159 part of that whole operation, was the Archive team. We're 1568 01:25:40.199 --> 01:25:44.760 just warriors, warriors for the cause of preservation of this stuff. 1569 01:25:44.760 --> 01:25:48.840 And so there was this alternate opening that the studio 1570 01:25:49.039 --> 01:25:52.199 ultimately wanted Jonathan to shoot to spice up the beginning 1571 01:25:52.199 --> 01:25:56.239 of the movie. We now look at that opening with 1572 01:25:56.279 --> 01:25:58.720 the car in the desert, how the titles interplay with 1573 01:25:58.800 --> 01:26:01.640 the shots and the row and it's just so perfect, 1574 01:26:01.720 --> 01:26:04.119 and you think, God, how could this ever? Who would 1575 01:26:04.159 --> 01:26:06.960 need to do something different with this? Well, what they 1576 01:26:07.000 --> 01:26:10.039 wanted to do was Kurt Russell with a camera on 1577 01:26:10.119 --> 01:26:14.000 his shoulder and this village where these women are being 1578 01:26:14.039 --> 01:26:18.439 shot and all. It's just pure insanity, like it starts 1579 01:26:18.439 --> 01:26:22.880 off like a Trouma movie almost, and Mostow hated it, 1580 01:26:23.760 --> 01:26:25.680 but of course he told me he hated it during 1581 01:26:25.720 --> 01:26:29.199 the interview, and I'm like, let's see if this exists, 1582 01:26:29.239 --> 01:26:31.119 and then I go to the archive team and in 1583 01:26:31.159 --> 01:26:33.800 short order they're like, yeah, we have everything. It's all here. 1584 01:26:34.399 --> 01:26:39.840 And so it took some discussion with Jonathan and he's like, well, 1585 01:26:41.279 --> 01:26:44.199 if we can present it where I can talk about it, 1586 01:26:44.640 --> 01:26:47.680 like do a commentary over it, we can do this. 1587 01:26:47.800 --> 01:26:50.399 And I'm like, psh, cool, all right. Paramount team is 1588 01:26:50.399 --> 01:26:52.479 all like, yeah, let's do it. Let's do it safe. 1589 01:26:53.119 --> 01:26:55.000 And so we did it. We got to present it, 1590 01:26:55.640 --> 01:26:58.560 and there is an option to turn Jonathan's commentary on 1591 01:26:58.800 --> 01:27:01.800 to hear him explain what they did, but also kind 1592 01:27:01.800 --> 01:27:03.960 of why he didn't think it fit. I think everyone 1593 01:27:04.000 --> 01:27:08.159 will agree with him on that, for sure, but one 1594 01:27:08.159 --> 01:27:11.800 of the greatest releases of one of the best movies 1595 01:27:11.840 --> 01:27:15.520 of that era, and certainly like Kurt Russell's whole catalog. 1596 01:27:15.800 --> 01:27:20.560 Kathleen Quinlan. I had interviewed her on Twilight Zone years 1597 01:27:20.600 --> 01:27:24.560 prior for a famous Monsters magazine, which I was nerding 1598 01:27:24.600 --> 01:27:27.720 out about because I'm a big doors fan and being 1599 01:27:27.760 --> 01:27:31.520 in the doors and I was, oh, man, this is amazing, 1600 01:27:31.800 --> 01:27:34.600 and that same feeling was back again, and getting a 1601 01:27:34.720 --> 01:27:36.960 chance to talk to her on breakdown. So the whole 1602 01:27:36.960 --> 01:27:38.520 thing just a thrill, and it was done at the 1603 01:27:38.520 --> 01:27:41.640 height of COVID. This was like the heart of when 1604 01:27:41.640 --> 01:27:43.960 we couldn't really be in the same room. And even 1605 01:27:44.000 --> 01:27:46.760 though Jonathan and Kurt were in the same room, they 1606 01:27:46.760 --> 01:27:50.279 were on opposite ends of like a row of theater 1607 01:27:50.399 --> 01:27:53.920 seats with one of those air purifier things, the big 1608 01:27:53.960 --> 01:27:57.960 industrial ones in between them, silently chugging away to keep 1609 01:27:58.000 --> 01:28:01.920 the air clean in the room. But it all worked 1610 01:28:01.920 --> 01:28:04.920 out and it was an honor to be part of Incredible. 1611 01:28:05.000 --> 01:28:07.039 I mean, this is one of those titles that for 1612 01:28:07.079 --> 01:28:10.119 the longest time was not very easy to see. It's 1613 01:28:10.239 --> 01:28:13.079 the same and you've done many of those that were 1614 01:28:13.279 --> 01:28:17.079 not necessarily lost films, but they were films that you know, 1615 01:28:17.159 --> 01:28:20.159 people knew it had a reputation, people wanted to see them, 1616 01:28:20.439 --> 01:28:22.159 and you got to be a part of getting it 1617 01:28:22.199 --> 01:28:24.119 back out of the zeitgeist, which has to be just 1618 01:28:24.159 --> 01:28:25.000 an incredible feeling. 1619 01:28:26.399 --> 01:28:27.920 Doesn't even seem real for real? 1620 01:28:29.520 --> 01:28:33.359 All right? That is Breakdown December thirtieth. Next up one 1621 01:28:34.079 --> 01:28:37.840 equal quality as Breakdown. Maybe we'll see December one. The 1622 01:28:37.880 --> 01:28:40.239 four K is coming in the UK from Dazzler Media. 1623 01:28:40.279 --> 01:28:42.760 Also coming up Blu ray of The Creeps from twenty 1624 01:28:42.800 --> 01:28:46.439 twenty five. When your top built actor in your film 1625 01:28:46.520 --> 01:28:47.239 is Joe Dante. 1626 01:28:48.359 --> 01:28:51.079 I was wondering why his name was up there. When 1627 01:28:51.119 --> 01:28:54.600 I saw that cover, I was like, oh, yeah, wait, 1628 01:28:55.399 --> 01:28:59.399 Joe Dante. Director Chris Lambert in a Snowman movie. What 1629 01:28:59.600 --> 01:28:59.880 is this? 1630 01:29:02.000 --> 01:29:07.119 Yeah? Watch the trailer for this. You probably will not 1631 01:29:07.239 --> 01:29:12.520 feel the urge to buy this, but it's happening there. 1632 01:29:12.520 --> 01:29:13.680 It is right there. 1633 01:29:14.920 --> 01:29:20.039 That's next Oscilloscope company that I love there putting out 1634 01:29:20.079 --> 01:29:22.560 a Blu ray of this film that I don't know 1635 01:29:22.560 --> 01:29:28.680 how to pronounce the title signave that's wrong, I don't 1636 01:29:28.720 --> 01:29:31.239 know this is from last year. This is coming on 1637 01:29:31.239 --> 01:29:33.279 Blu Range DVD. Like I said, this says the highs 1638 01:29:33.279 --> 01:29:35.600 and lows of a restless youth collide headlong into the 1639 01:29:35.640 --> 01:29:40.039 concrete realities of adulthood. When Leonardo, a teenager from Palermo, 1640 01:29:40.159 --> 01:29:42.840 leaves home for the first time, his studies land him 1641 01:29:42.840 --> 01:29:45.079 in Siena by way of London, where he clashes with 1642 01:29:45.119 --> 01:29:49.439 his instructor, the curriculum, and most chaotically with himself. This 1643 01:29:49.520 --> 01:29:52.479 is produced by Luca Guadaninho, who just released a film 1644 01:29:52.479 --> 01:29:55.520 that seems like the whole world hates right now. This 1645 01:29:55.600 --> 01:29:58.079 has deleted scenes in the trailer on the disc and 1646 01:29:58.600 --> 01:30:01.039 I will hopefully beginning this is part of my subscription 1647 01:30:01.119 --> 01:30:04.840 here soon. Love Oscilloscope, love what they do. Any thoughts 1648 01:30:04.840 --> 01:30:05.880 from you. 1649 01:30:05.479 --> 01:30:08.399 No go Selloscope like what they're doing as well. I 1650 01:30:08.399 --> 01:30:09.880 don't know anything about this one. 1651 01:30:10.680 --> 01:30:12.920 Yeah, this has to be like a small festival film. 1652 01:30:12.920 --> 01:30:17.119 I've never heard of this at all. Criterion just had 1653 01:30:17.119 --> 01:30:19.159 a flash sale, but it's pointless because it's over, so 1654 01:30:19.159 --> 01:30:23.560 we'll gloss right over there. I love this next set 1655 01:30:23.560 --> 01:30:26.800 of announcements. So a Kino had announced previously and not 1656 01:30:27.119 --> 01:30:28.600 too long ago. This is one of those ones that 1657 01:30:28.640 --> 01:30:30.840 had a fairly quick turnaround. Thank you Kino. We do 1658 01:30:30.920 --> 01:30:34.560 love to see the quick turnaround of the Pink Panther films. 1659 01:30:34.560 --> 01:30:36.720 These are coming to four K and Blu Ray here 1660 01:30:36.720 --> 01:30:40.039 in the US, all on December sixteenth, and we're going 1661 01:30:40.119 --> 01:30:44.199 to cover all four However, before you start asking, they 1662 01:30:44.239 --> 01:30:46.960 are putting out a box set of all of these 1663 01:30:47.079 --> 01:30:50.520 plus Return of the Pink Panther all together, all on 1664 01:30:50.560 --> 01:30:53.960 four K in twenty twenty six. They're just letting them 1665 01:30:54.039 --> 01:30:56.359 live and breathe on their own as single releases first, 1666 01:30:56.520 --> 01:30:58.439 so if you want to be patient, you can pick 1667 01:30:58.520 --> 01:31:01.479 up a box set next year of all five of 1668 01:31:01.520 --> 01:31:05.399 the films. As far as extras, they got all kinds 1669 01:31:05.439 --> 01:31:07.760 of extras on these. How many of them are new? 1670 01:31:08.000 --> 01:31:10.920 I count zero of them as being new. However, it's 1671 01:31:10.960 --> 01:31:12.720 just really great to see them in print again. And 1672 01:31:12.760 --> 01:31:15.760 not to mention, these will absolutely look really good in 1673 01:31:15.800 --> 01:31:18.640 four K. Are you a Pink Panther fit? Have you 1674 01:31:18.680 --> 01:31:19.560 ever checked out anything? 1675 01:31:20.039 --> 01:31:22.079 I was so disappointed when I was a kid and 1676 01:31:22.159 --> 01:31:24.720 heard that there was a Pink Panther movie because Pink 1677 01:31:24.760 --> 01:31:27.600 Panther when I was a kid sold insulation. 1678 01:31:28.439 --> 01:31:30.960 Yep, that was the remember. 1679 01:31:30.920 --> 01:31:33.239 The understanding of Pink Panther. And then I saw the 1680 01:31:33.399 --> 01:31:36.279 art for this and I'm like, huh, well, this looks 1681 01:31:36.319 --> 01:31:38.079 like something with the Pink Panther in it. 1682 01:31:39.000 --> 01:31:41.520 Nope, so quite different. 1683 01:31:42.640 --> 01:31:45.720 I don't know, I need to revisit them. I guess 1684 01:31:45.920 --> 01:31:48.359 I've seen the first one, but I know that they 1685 01:31:48.359 --> 01:31:51.479 are revered, and it's great that once again Keino is 1686 01:31:51.520 --> 01:31:55.079 swinging into the rescue of some underserved titles. 1687 01:31:56.239 --> 01:31:58.119 So this is the first one, of course, this is 1688 01:31:58.119 --> 01:32:00.880 from nineteen sixty three. The second film is A Shot 1689 01:32:00.880 --> 01:32:04.000 in the Dark. This is the one I remember truly loving. 1690 01:32:04.239 --> 01:32:06.800 I think this is the funniest of all of them, 1691 01:32:06.800 --> 01:32:11.600 if I remember right, and we're talking like slapstick comedy, 1692 01:32:11.680 --> 01:32:15.720 like really great classic Peter Sellers. I have not seen 1693 01:32:15.720 --> 01:32:17.880 this in ages, but I am eager to see it 1694 01:32:17.880 --> 01:32:20.479 again again. They're carrying over all kinds of extras from 1695 01:32:20.479 --> 01:32:23.960 the previous releases. We've got audio commentaries, we've got featurettes, 1696 01:32:24.000 --> 01:32:27.359 we've got interviews. They look like great releases. The third one, 1697 01:32:27.399 --> 01:32:29.319 of course, is The Pink Panther Strikes Again. This is 1698 01:32:29.399 --> 01:32:32.720 nineteen seventy six. Reversible art on all these as well, 1699 01:32:32.720 --> 01:32:34.920 which is pretty neat from Keino. Love that they're doing 1700 01:32:34.920 --> 01:32:37.520 those again. All kinds of old extras on these. And 1701 01:32:37.560 --> 01:32:40.520 then the final one, Revenge of the Pink Panther from 1702 01:32:40.560 --> 01:32:44.560 nineteen seventy eight. Not as many extras on this one. 1703 01:32:44.680 --> 01:32:46.760 There just wasn't as much on the previous releases, but 1704 01:32:46.760 --> 01:32:49.359 it does have an audio commentary, has some TV spots 1705 01:32:49.399 --> 01:32:52.000 and stuff like that. Yeah, December sixteenth, it's going to 1706 01:32:52.039 --> 01:32:54.239 be a busy day if you love the pink panther 1707 01:32:56.840 --> 01:33:00.840 full Moon, who Justin has worked on many things related 1708 01:33:00.880 --> 01:33:03.680 to full Moon. They are currently running their Halloween sale 1709 01:33:04.039 --> 01:33:06.640 up to fifty percent off sitewide and a cool thing 1710 01:33:06.680 --> 01:33:09.439 that they don't always do.

What are some of your highest recommendations from 1723 01:33:41.479 --> 01:33:42.600 full Moon's catalog there? 1724 01:33:42.720 --> 01:33:47.359 Justin? Well, I remember when full Moon was doing they 1725 01:33:47.359 --> 01:33:50.560 would they were trying to push people for their online 1726 01:33:50.560 --> 01:33:53.920 streaming thing yep, and they would it would be like, 1727 01:33:53.960 --> 01:33:57.159 if you subscribe for a month and you can get 1728 01:33:57.159 --> 01:34:00.479 like one hundred dollars in free DVDs and we raised 1729 01:34:00.520 --> 01:34:03.760 Do you remember that? Oh yeah, my buddy Greg Morgan 1730 01:34:03.840 --> 01:34:06.359 from Land of the Creeps. I remember him calling me 1731 01:34:06.439 --> 01:34:08.760 up one day and he's like, it's real. I did 1732 01:34:08.800 --> 01:34:11.439 it and the disc showed up. There wasn't like a 1733 01:34:11.479 --> 01:34:14.279 cancelation notice. I didn't have to subscribe for a whole 1734 01:34:14.359 --> 01:34:17.399 year or something. It was just insane how they were 1735 01:34:17.439 --> 01:34:23.279 just shoveling stuff out with this perpetual sale at that 1736 01:34:23.399 --> 01:34:26.399 point of that stuff. But I have so much admiration 1737 01:34:26.600 --> 01:34:33.479 for Charlie and he. As John Carpenter said years ago 1738 01:34:33.640 --> 01:34:36.199 to me when I did this sort of stream of 1739 01:34:36.199 --> 01:34:41.520 consciousness career spanning discussion with him for the Fangoria Legends magazine, 1740 01:34:42.439 --> 01:34:44.479 I would just say a name or a place or 1741 01:34:44.520 --> 01:34:46.760 a film title or whatever, and then he would just 1742 01:34:46.800 --> 01:34:48.600 tell me the first thing that came to his mind. 1743 01:34:48.640 --> 01:34:53.239 And I said, Charlie banned, and John goes, when the 1744 01:34:53.279 --> 01:34:56.800 apocalypse happens, there will be two things left on this earth. 1745 01:34:58.079 --> 01:35:01.840 There will be cockroaches will be Charlie band and I 1746 01:35:01.880 --> 01:35:05.520 don't know, and I don't think he was comparing Charlie 1747 01:35:05.560 --> 01:35:08.119 to a cockroach necessarily, although I don't want to speak 1748 01:35:08.159 --> 01:35:13.479 for John, but his endurance is just remarkable, and getting 1749 01:35:13.520 --> 01:35:15.479 the chance to work on all this Full Moon stuff 1750 01:35:15.479 --> 01:35:18.920 through Umbrella has been a blast. And so many of 1751 01:35:18.960 --> 01:35:21.760 the people that I'm tapping on the shoulder to come 1752 01:35:21.800 --> 01:35:24.279 in for interviews are like, I cannot believe this is 1753 01:35:24.439 --> 01:35:28.079 getting re released. I can't believe people still care about 1754 01:35:28.079 --> 01:35:29.920 And I hear that all the time about a lot 1755 01:35:29.920 --> 01:35:35.479 of titles, but with the Full Moon stuff, it's just 1756 01:35:35.560 --> 01:35:38.399 remarkable how he keeps doing his thing, and how consistent 1757 01:35:38.479 --> 01:35:45.800 he is with his focus on small things and his 1758 01:35:45.840 --> 01:35:52.479 love for dolls. I think is worth applauding. I don't 1759 01:35:52.520 --> 01:35:56.439 know where do I start with the Full Moon catalog. 1760 01:35:56.560 --> 01:35:59.039 I would point to early movies. I would point to 1761 01:35:59.119 --> 01:36:01.800 his early stuff. I just finished working on Tourist Trap, 1762 01:36:02.079 --> 01:36:06.640 for example. I think that one is a real big standout, 1763 01:36:06.760 --> 01:36:09.800 especially in their earlier catalog, for what Charlie was doing. 1764 01:36:09.840 --> 01:36:14.319 Although it's not Full Moon proper, it's Charlie Band production. 1765 01:36:15.880 --> 01:36:20.239 There are spikes in every If you want to say 1766 01:36:20.359 --> 01:36:23.119 decade or maybe even break it down by like genre 1767 01:36:23.239 --> 01:36:27.319 run or subgenre run. There's spikes of good stuff in 1768 01:36:27.399 --> 01:36:32.159 there throughout, and I think Tourist Trap was an early whoa, 1769 01:36:32.920 --> 01:36:37.319 you got Ted Nicolau, you got David Schmoller, I mean 1770 01:36:39.960 --> 01:36:45.319 Chuck Connors for that booklet. For the booklet, I did 1771 01:36:45.399 --> 01:36:48.239 this exhaustive essay on Chuck because I love him so much. 1772 01:36:48.279 --> 01:36:52.239 He's one of my favorite all time actors, and I'm like, 1773 01:36:52.279 --> 01:36:53.800 when else am I going to get the chance to 1774 01:36:53.840 --> 01:36:57.479 talk about Chuck? And so I did an entire life 1775 01:36:58.039 --> 01:37:01.520 story of Chuck Connors for that booklet, and it turned 1776 01:37:01.560 --> 01:37:07.760 out really a loving tribute to the guy. But anyway, 1777 01:37:07.920 --> 01:37:11.039 the Full Moon catalog, I mean can't say I'm down 1778 01:37:11.079 --> 01:37:16.279 with Ginger weed Man and whatever all the stuff, but 1779 01:37:16.520 --> 01:37:18.880 I do like a lot of it, and especially their 1780 01:37:18.920 --> 01:37:21.560 early things, and I will always admire the audacity. And 1781 01:37:22.000 --> 01:37:25.159 it must be said, when I did the first Full 1782 01:37:25.199 --> 01:37:28.640 Moon box set for Umbrella, the one special feature and 1783 01:37:28.720 --> 01:37:32.000 the thing that I applaud Charlie the most for, I 1784 01:37:32.079 --> 01:37:37.239 had to do something on the video zones. For those 1785 01:37:37.279 --> 01:37:40.560 who might not remember, at the end of Full Moon 1786 01:37:40.680 --> 01:37:44.359 videotapes back in the day, you'd finish watching the film, 1787 01:37:44.520 --> 01:37:48.600 you let it keep running, and there's a video magazine 1788 01:37:48.640 --> 01:37:50.760 I guess you'd call it. That would be at the 1789 01:37:50.880 --> 01:37:54.279 end of the movie talking about the movie you just saw, 1790 01:37:54.439 --> 01:37:56.520 so like the making of the movie you just saw, 1791 01:37:56.840 --> 01:38:00.600 and then teasers and behind the scenes for upcoming films. 1792 01:38:01.399 --> 01:38:06.119 And it was revolutionary because the laser disc really ultimately 1793 01:38:06.159 --> 01:38:09.640 gave way to the special feature I think, being tethered 1794 01:38:09.640 --> 01:38:13.239 to these movies in the first place, but Charlie, through 1795 01:38:13.319 --> 01:38:20.560 his partnership with Paramount in their checkbook until it wasn't, Charlie, 1796 01:38:20.600 --> 01:38:23.119 to his credit, came up with this idea to offer 1797 01:38:23.159 --> 01:38:27.279 people so much more and watching through those video zones, 1798 01:38:28.079 --> 01:38:29.760 even the ads that he had on there for the 1799 01:38:29.800 --> 01:38:32.560 merch This stuff is nothing new which you have up 1800 01:38:32.600 --> 01:38:37.000 here on the screen, like dolls and toys and whatever else. 1801 01:38:37.159 --> 01:38:40.199 He's been doing that from the very beginning. He's always 1802 01:38:40.239 --> 01:38:46.279 been a big picture guy who does some pretty inventive 1803 01:38:46.439 --> 01:38:51.920 and absolutely bold things with what he's doing and unapologetically. 1804 01:38:52.000 --> 01:38:53.600 So I'm always going to applaud that. 1805 01:38:54.960 --> 01:38:57.319 I've always loved tourist trap. I'm glad you brought that 1806 01:38:57.359 --> 01:38:59.600 one up. And then the other one that I always champion. 1807 01:39:00.000 --> 01:39:02.159 Feel like most people have heard of but never seen. 1808 01:39:02.479 --> 01:39:04.720 Castle Freak is still one of my favorites. Yeah, I 1809 01:39:04.760 --> 01:39:05.680 adore that movie. 1810 01:39:05.960 --> 01:39:08.039 Oh it's great and the effects are so good in 1811 01:39:08.079 --> 01:39:12.000 that too. Everybody's great in that film and making good 1812 01:39:12.079 --> 01:39:15.560 use of that castle. I mean everything I've touched that's 1813 01:39:15.920 --> 01:39:20.239 from Full Moon. There was the filmmakers that he was 1814 01:39:20.319 --> 01:39:24.920 often bringing in. We're approaching this with such sincerity. 1815 01:39:26.359 --> 01:39:27.039 Yeah, Like. 1816 01:39:28.880 --> 01:39:31.000 If you watch through the special features on those first 1817 01:39:31.079 --> 01:39:35.520 two Full Moon box sets from Umbrella, you really start 1818 01:39:35.520 --> 01:39:38.920 to understand the universe of Charlie Band beyond just the 1819 01:39:38.960 --> 01:39:42.000 sort of marketing guy and the whatever else. Like, there 1820 01:39:42.159 --> 01:39:49.319 was an objective, however accidental or intentional, to bring fresh 1821 01:39:49.399 --> 01:39:52.800 talent in over and over and over again, and those 1822 01:39:53.039 --> 01:39:57.000 films also became a it was kind of like the 1823 01:39:57.000 --> 01:39:59.359 incubator for a lot of special effects artists. 1824 01:39:59.680 --> 01:39:59.880 Yep. 1825 01:40:00.239 --> 01:40:03.880 It's like what Roger Corman did with he bringing someone in. Yeah, well, 1826 01:40:03.880 --> 01:40:06.479 maybe you're not ready to direct yet, start cutting trailers 1827 01:40:06.520 --> 01:40:08.720 for me, and then let's talk in six months and 1828 01:40:08.760 --> 01:40:11.880 then we get look at the lineup of filmmakers from 1829 01:40:11.880 --> 01:40:12.600 that school. 1830 01:40:12.960 --> 01:40:15.199 And speaking of Joe Dante, yeah exactly. 1831 01:40:15.399 --> 01:40:17.720 And it's not as celebrated, but I do think it's 1832 01:40:17.720 --> 01:40:23.199 worth being It's worth acknowledging that Charlie Band was very 1833 01:40:23.239 --> 01:40:26.359 similar in his sort of talent factory where he would 1834 01:40:26.439 --> 01:40:30.159 hire people who other studios might not and ended up 1835 01:40:30.159 --> 01:40:33.560 giving them some opportunities that absolutely blossomed in a lot 1836 01:40:33.560 --> 01:40:36.520 of cases. So hats off to him what he does. 1837 01:40:37.760 --> 01:40:41.079 Next. Up, speaking of Umbrella got their brand new announcements 1838 01:40:41.279 --> 01:40:44.399 February fourth. We got a four kve from them coming 1839 01:40:44.560 --> 01:40:49.119 of Schiansno's Suicide Club from two thousand and one. This 1840 01:40:49.199 --> 01:40:51.560 has some new extras. Wee have a new audio commentary 1841 01:40:51.720 --> 01:40:56.119 by Aerol Shutson. We've got a new Suicide Club with 1842 01:40:56.119 --> 01:41:00.279 special effects guru Yoshihiro Nishimura. There's a Justice There or 1843 01:41:00.319 --> 01:41:02.239 How I Learned to Stop Worring and Love Suicide Club 1844 01:41:02.279 --> 01:41:05.840 with Alexander Heller Nicholas looks like an incredible special edition 1845 01:41:05.880 --> 01:41:08.399 of this. I will say there is a four K 1846 01:41:08.479 --> 01:41:11.319 of this that came out from I want to say, 1847 01:41:11.359 --> 01:41:14.279 in France or Germany or somebody like that, and this 1848 01:41:14.439 --> 01:41:16.640 is likely going to be the same scan of that 1849 01:41:16.680 --> 01:41:19.840 four K, because I believe the elements are gone for 1850 01:41:19.920 --> 01:41:23.960 this one, and that thing did not get great reviews. However, 1851 01:41:24.039 --> 01:41:26.279 if you love this movie, this is probably gonna be 1852 01:41:26.319 --> 01:41:28.119 the best packaging this will get. This will probably be 1853 01:41:28.159 --> 01:41:30.640 the best special features this gets. This will probably be 1854 01:41:30.880 --> 01:41:32.800 the be all end all of this film. And if 1855 01:41:32.840 --> 01:41:35.720 you already have the Discothech Blu ray, I just take 1856 01:41:35.760 --> 01:41:37.520 that Blu ray and if you want this, put it 1857 01:41:37.560 --> 01:41:39.439 in the case with this, and you got pretty much 1858 01:41:39.439 --> 01:41:41.119 a definitive release of Suicide Club. 1859 01:41:41.279 --> 01:41:42.760 I love that movie and I wish I would have 1860 01:41:42.760 --> 01:41:47.800 been on that release through Umbrella. It's so good. I 1861 01:41:47.800 --> 01:41:50.159 still have my old DVD. I have not gotten those 1862 01:41:50.199 --> 01:41:52.880 other releases of it, So this will be great for me. 1863 01:41:53.319 --> 01:41:57.239 And new for me absolutely. Next up is one that 1864 01:41:57.239 --> 01:41:59.840 they've been hyping up through their social media for quite 1865 01:41:59.840 --> 01:42:02.920 some time, Lesbian Space Princess from this year, I believe 1866 01:42:03.119 --> 01:42:06.319 is a animated film. All kinds of extras on here 1867 01:42:06.319 --> 01:42:08.399 because this is one that they produced from the ground up. 1868 01:42:09.000 --> 01:42:11.319 They're selling a sexy bitch sweatshirt. 1869 01:42:11.399 --> 01:42:13.319 As much as I was laughing at it, I love it. 1870 01:42:14.439 --> 01:42:17.760 I love Umbrella getting interesting with all of these releases 1871 01:42:17.840 --> 01:42:20.279 and just doing what they can. Yeah, this looks like 1872 01:42:20.319 --> 01:42:23.039 a completely loaded release for something that usually would not 1873 01:42:23.159 --> 01:42:27.439 get even a small release, and This is huge for 1874 01:42:27.520 --> 01:42:30.439 this Blu ray released on January fourteenth. Looks fun. 1875 01:42:30.840 --> 01:42:32.760 Yeah. 1876 01:42:32.880 --> 01:42:35.159 Next up this one is February fourth Blu Ray release 1877 01:42:35.199 --> 01:42:37.239 of The Horseman from two thousand and eight. I have 1878 01:42:37.359 --> 01:42:40.399 always heard this is great and have somehow always passed 1879 01:42:40.399 --> 01:42:42.479 by it. I need to see this one. You get 1880 01:42:42.479 --> 01:42:44.479 the Collector's edition and as usually, you get a big 1881 01:42:44.520 --> 01:42:47.640 forty eight page book and all kinds of custom art 1882 01:42:47.720 --> 01:42:52.680 cards and posters and slip case and numbered everything. New 1883 01:42:52.720 --> 01:42:59.079 audio commentary with Alexei Tali, Choleapolis that maybe and Blake Howard, 1884 01:42:59.560 --> 01:43:01.640 and then there is going to be The Horseman in 1885 01:43:01.640 --> 01:43:04.640 the Australian noir genre with the screenwriter and author Maria 1886 01:43:04.720 --> 01:43:08.319 Lewis making of the Horsemen Director's cut remaster, new director's 1887 01:43:08.359 --> 01:43:11.199 cut trailer, and then all kinds of archival extras with 1888 01:43:11.239 --> 01:43:13.520 this one pretty loaded. Have you seen this one? 1889 01:43:13.600 --> 01:43:17.119 Yes, it's excellent and this from what I understand this 1890 01:43:17.159 --> 01:43:20.479 is the transfer on this is outstanding and so I 1891 01:43:20.520 --> 01:43:23.720 cannot wait to get my hands on this one. It's 1892 01:43:23.720 --> 01:43:24.520 a great movie. 1893 01:43:24.880 --> 01:43:27.520 I need to get it. I've heard it's stupendous and yep, 1894 01:43:27.600 --> 01:43:29.520 already some good comments in the chat. Had the original 1895 01:43:29.600 --> 01:43:35.159 Umbrella DVD nice. Next up from them is The Innkeepers. 1896 01:43:35.239 --> 01:43:37.920 This is coming on Blu Ray on February fourth, and 1897 01:43:38.680 --> 01:43:41.239 this already has a four K release, so Umbrella just 1898 01:43:41.880 --> 01:43:43.640 probably thinking they're not gonna be able to sell a 1899 01:43:43.640 --> 01:43:45.359 ton of these. Four K is going to be expensive 1900 01:43:45.439 --> 01:43:47.079 to invest if you're not going to sell a ton 1901 01:43:47.119 --> 01:43:49.359 of them, so you can get a special edition of this, 1902 01:43:49.640 --> 01:43:52.279 and it looks like a really fun release. You had 1903 01:43:52.279 --> 01:43:54.680 a new audio commentary with Alexander Heller Nicholas, who is 1904 01:43:54.720 --> 01:43:58.000 on seemingly like forty new releases a week, so not 1905 01:43:58.079 --> 01:44:02.239 surprised there, and then Martin Kataro on The Innkeepers is 1906 01:44:02.279 --> 01:44:06.039 doing a visual essay, and then another handful of archival extras. 1907 01:44:06.279 --> 01:44:08.439 I love Ty West. Are you a Ti West person? 1908 01:44:10.920 --> 01:44:17.680 Ty West? Ty West is good, He's okay, yeah, yeah, 1909 01:44:17.760 --> 01:44:21.079 I'm not the biggest fan. But I do want to 1910 01:44:21.119 --> 01:44:23.359 speak here to the Blu Ray four K thing that 1911 01:44:23.640 --> 01:44:26.000 there are occasions and I'm not saying that is the 1912 01:44:26.000 --> 01:44:28.239 case with this, because it's not something that they've discussed 1913 01:44:28.239 --> 01:44:33.399 with me, but there are cases where the license for 1914 01:44:33.560 --> 01:44:37.079 a four K release may already spoken for, so it's 1915 01:44:37.159 --> 01:44:41.079 not always possible. And then also if there's an element issue, 1916 01:44:41.279 --> 01:44:43.960 if there's something where they can't get to the point 1917 01:44:44.000 --> 01:44:47.239 to justify the four K in terms of available materials. 1918 01:44:47.239 --> 01:44:51.000 This goes for all distributors, all labels that it just 1919 01:44:51.039 --> 01:44:54.800 doesn't make sense just to upscale something. And so in 1920 01:44:54.880 --> 01:44:56.239 that kind of a case, I don't know what the 1921 01:44:56.279 --> 01:44:58.359 dealer is with Innkeepers, but I. 1922 01:44:58.279 --> 01:45:01.199 Don't think this was even shot on film. And to 1923 01:45:01.239 --> 01:45:04.199 be honest, a lot of like the early digital from 1924 01:45:04.439 --> 01:45:06.640 you know, two thousand and four to like twenty thirteen, 1925 01:45:06.880 --> 01:45:08.359 a lot of those you got a question if a 1926 01:45:08.399 --> 01:45:12.199 four K is going to do anything right, literally, you know, 1927 01:45:12.560 --> 01:45:15.039 not even just hey, the colors will be nicer, Like 1928 01:45:15.079 --> 01:45:18.319 will it actually improve anything to put this on four 1929 01:45:18.439 --> 01:45:20.800 K instead of Blu ray? In many cases it really. 1930 01:45:20.600 --> 01:45:21.359 Will not sure. 1931 01:45:21.600 --> 01:45:25.520 Yeah, So that is the Innkeepers from twenty eleven, and 1932 01:45:25.560 --> 01:45:28.680 then next up I am so keen to see this one. 1933 01:45:28.920 --> 01:45:30.840 This is already the second release announcement of this too. 1934 01:45:30.920 --> 01:45:34.720 February fourth, they're putting out chain reactions from twenty twenty four. 1935 01:45:35.199 --> 01:45:38.199 We were talking about Alexander Heller Nicholss. She is heavily 1936 01:45:38.199 --> 01:45:41.960 featured in this film itself. This is a documentary about 1937 01:45:42.159 --> 01:45:46.119 the impact of the Texas Chainsaw Masker, which by far 1938 01:45:46.239 --> 01:45:48.159 one of the most impactful horror films of all time. 1939 01:45:48.760 --> 01:45:50.680 This release is going to have an audio commentary with 1940 01:45:50.680 --> 01:45:54.560 the directors, discussion with the director and with Alexander Heller Nicholas. 1941 01:45:55.600 --> 01:45:57.680 I have not been able to see this one yet. 1942 01:45:57.760 --> 01:45:59.880 Have you been able to see this? Probably not. 1943 01:46:00.319 --> 01:46:02.760 I saw part of it because I went to the 1944 01:46:02.800 --> 01:46:06.239 anniversary theatrical re release of Chainsaw, where it was like 1945 01:46:06.760 --> 01:46:09.800 maybe one or two days or something on the anniversary 1946 01:46:09.800 --> 01:46:13.439 of the film, and they showed the after Chainsaw was done, 1947 01:46:14.119 --> 01:46:16.880 this like a portion of this played, and so I 1948 01:46:17.279 --> 01:46:20.239 did get to see some of it. And I'm always 1949 01:46:20.279 --> 01:46:23.840 down for more Chainsaw. I've been so happy to see 1950 01:46:23.880 --> 01:46:27.079 the four K re releases that Ero's been doing too. 1951 01:46:27.760 --> 01:46:31.960 Of the Arlely Ermi films, I love the second one 1952 01:46:31.960 --> 01:46:34.800 in particular. I think beginning is I really, I mean, 1953 01:46:34.800 --> 01:46:37.479 they're both good, but I think the Beginning is even 1954 01:46:37.520 --> 01:46:41.720 better than the Yeah, the first one. There anyway, more Chainsaw, 1955 01:46:41.760 --> 01:46:44.760 the better, says I. And there can't be enough exploration. 1956 01:46:44.920 --> 01:46:49.479 And there's some great documentaries vintage documentaries on the film 1957 01:46:49.600 --> 01:46:53.640 already that are pretty incredible. But why not. 1958 01:46:55.119 --> 01:46:57.159 For those that have not heard about this one yet. 1959 01:46:57.199 --> 01:47:00.319 So this is a documentary built on the reactions rough 1960 01:47:01.119 --> 01:47:04.680 these names on Here is christ Now, Stephen King, Patton Oswald, 1961 01:47:04.960 --> 01:47:09.600 Karm Kusama, Takashi mik and Alexander Heller Nicholas like all 1962 01:47:09.680 --> 01:47:13.560 corners of the film industry in different ways, all like 1963 01:47:13.600 --> 01:47:17.560 different age groups, different different types of filmmakers, all coming 1964 01:47:17.560 --> 01:47:20.319 together to talk about how it impacted them.

I'm sitting there going wait, what 1968 01:47:29.399 --> 01:47:31.880 what is happening here? I mean, it was really like, Okay, 1969 01:47:31.920 --> 01:47:34.560 this is interesting because you think about comedians and their 1970 01:47:34.640 --> 01:47:38.640 dark side and we're all inspired by such an array 1971 01:47:38.720 --> 01:47:41.880 of things. Why not bring him in here? And it 1972 01:47:41.960 --> 01:47:45.680 was really It starts with a clip of him on 1973 01:47:47.039 --> 01:47:50.319 Latterman or something like that, or maybe Conan O'Brien and 1974 01:47:50.399 --> 01:47:53.880 he brings Chainsaw up of all movies as like his 1975 01:47:53.960 --> 01:47:56.880 favorite film of all time, and I was like, wow, 1976 01:47:57.159 --> 01:48:00.560 he is a lover of this movie.

And he's crying to me during 1981 01:48:12.920 --> 01:48:15.920 the interview and stuff. I mean, it was remarkable. So 1982 01:48:16.880 --> 01:48:20.680 when these folks who have made it reach out to 1983 01:48:20.800 --> 01:48:24.640 continue paying it back to the source that led them 1984 01:48:24.680 --> 01:48:29.520 to whatever they're doing, wonderful, wonderful, wonderful thing. 1985 01:48:30.760 --> 01:48:34.119 Yeah, I'm so stoked that they I mean, just the 1986 01:48:34.199 --> 01:48:37.479 passion that screams off the screen for this, I can't 1987 01:48:39.439 --> 01:48:40.800 Next up is Eureka. 1988 01:48:41.279 --> 01:48:41.600 Gosh. 1989 01:48:41.600 --> 01:48:44.239 That means the rest of all these were just today announced, 1990 01:48:44.279 --> 01:48:47.039 so we got a lot to cover.

I'm going to bring 2026 01:50:39.640 --> 01:50:42.039 up another thing here though, that I think that there 2027 01:50:42.119 --> 01:50:45.880 was a show called Big Wolf on Campus that was 2028 01:50:45.920 --> 01:50:48.359 on in the two thousands and it was a Canadian production. 2029 01:50:49.239 --> 01:50:51.319 I love that show so much, and I don't know 2030 01:50:51.359 --> 01:50:54.039 that it's ever gotten any kind of physical release anywhere. 2031 01:50:54.119 --> 01:50:56.600 So I'm glad this is happening. Maybe it's going to 2032 01:50:56.640 --> 01:51:00.600 open the door for Big Wolf on Campus to finally 2033 01:51:00.640 --> 01:51:02.840 get a proper release. 2034 01:51:03.000 --> 01:51:05.479 That's all the world excited about werewolf things, and. 2035 01:51:05.800 --> 01:51:08.039 Let's talk and teen werewolves. 2036 01:51:08.079 --> 01:51:11.479 Let's do it YEP next January twenty sixth, then the 2037 01:51:11.520 --> 01:51:14.239 UK January twenty seventh.

This one is going to 2040 01:51:21.039 --> 01:51:23.760 have a brand new writing on King of Beggars and 2041 01:51:23.800 --> 01:51:26.199 the director Gordon chan by Andy Willis. There's going to 2042 01:51:26.239 --> 01:51:29.079 be new audio commentary with Frank Jang, a new interview 2043 01:51:29.079 --> 01:51:32.520 with the director Gordon Chan, new visual essay by Gary Betinson. 2044 01:51:33.479 --> 01:51:35.159 Are you are you much of a martial arts person. 2045 01:51:35.199 --> 01:51:37.119 I don't think I've seen you talk about these. 2046 01:51:37.359 --> 01:51:40.600 No, not really. I did some work on a I 2047 01:51:40.640 --> 01:51:44.880 had to redo the audio on a martial arts film 2048 01:51:44.880 --> 01:51:50.000 when I was with Terror Vision, which was a logistical minefield. 2049 01:51:50.039 --> 01:51:51.000 It was a nightmare on that one. 2050 01:51:51.079 --> 01:51:52.800 That's what I have to say about that. But it 2051 01:51:52.840 --> 01:51:55.119 worked out in the end. But it happened to mix 2052 01:51:55.239 --> 01:52:00.880 every It's a challenge when you got a good ninety 2053 01:52:00.880 --> 01:52:02.760 minutes of that to go through. But now, I mean 2054 01:52:02.800 --> 01:52:07.680 I like Weird the Stranger the better, Like I like 2055 01:52:07.800 --> 01:52:12.079 Mister Vampire, end of things. In terms of martial arts, 2056 01:52:13.520 --> 01:52:16.199 I like The Bride with White Hair a lot good. 2057 01:52:16.399 --> 01:52:19.119 That's one of my favorites. But I but I'm not. 2058 01:52:19.239 --> 01:52:21.239 I'm definitely not like a studied. 2059 01:52:21.560 --> 01:52:26.840 Scholar speaking of films with bad four k's a good 2060 01:52:26.840 --> 01:52:28.520 blue rays. The Bride with White Hair got a four 2061 01:52:28.600 --> 01:52:31.560 K and it's not good. Cheer if you want that one. 2062 01:52:31.600 --> 01:52:34.199 Yeah, hold on to my discs, huh, hold on to 2063 01:52:34.319 --> 01:52:37.039 it all right? That happened with Island of Lost Souls. 2064 01:52:37.039 --> 01:52:39.439 Do you remember how terrible the Criterion Island a Loss 2065 01:52:39.439 --> 01:52:42.880 Souls was. Yeah, I couldn't believe how awful that looked. 2066 01:52:43.319 --> 01:52:47.239 Yep, that that seems to be something that some of 2067 01:52:47.239 --> 01:52:51.079 these get real bad reputations. And then just everybody says, yep, 2068 01:52:51.159 --> 01:52:54.479 don't buy that one. Yeah, I love it. Yeah. Next 2069 01:52:54.479 --> 01:52:57.439 December ninth, Sony, as a part of their Sony Pictures 2070 01:52:57.439 --> 01:52:59.960 Classics line, is putting out last year's I'm Still Here, 2071 01:53:00.399 --> 01:53:03.760 which I ashamedly i've still not seen. I've heard this 2072 01:53:03.840 --> 01:53:06.840 is incredible and went by me. I need to watch it. 2073 01:53:06.880 --> 01:53:11.000 Still hurt. It's amazing. This is a big, big breakout 2074 01:53:11.000 --> 01:53:14.439 for Fernando Torres. She's supposedly incredible in this. Yeah, I 2075 01:53:14.479 --> 01:53:19.039 need to see this. The next release is probably one 2076 01:53:19.039 --> 01:53:21.119 that we can both speak on Hearts of Darkness from 2077 01:53:21.159 --> 01:53:22.920 ninety one and getting a four K release here in 2078 01:53:22.960 --> 01:53:26.119 the US from Lionsgate. This isn't too big of a surprise. 2079 01:53:26.159 --> 01:53:27.880 Studio Canal just put this out in like one of 2080 01:53:27.920 --> 01:53:33.039 their fancy giant box sets in the UK. However, this release, 2081 01:53:33.359 --> 01:53:37.479 I gotta ask, what is up with the Coppola arm 2082 01:53:37.640 --> 01:53:39.800 pit sniffing cover art? That we went west. 2083 01:53:39.800 --> 01:53:43.000 It's so bizarre. When I first saw it, I thought 2084 01:53:43.000 --> 01:53:46.760 it was someone had was making fun of it somehow 2085 01:53:46.840 --> 01:53:49.479 and they had thrown that on there. That's so weird. 2086 01:53:51.000 --> 01:53:54.159 Yeah, I don't get this, and I still think it's 2087 01:53:54.159 --> 01:53:56.640 wild that a film that was essentially a special feature 2088 01:53:56.680 --> 01:53:59.760 for years is now getting standalone four K releases. Obviously 2089 01:53:59.840 --> 01:54:02.479 it's great. That gives hope to us all it does, 2090 01:54:02.600 --> 01:54:03.439 it truly does. 2091 01:54:04.159 --> 01:54:07.319 There is Yeah, anyway, these things. 2092 01:54:07.039 --> 01:54:07.520 Live and die. 2093 01:54:07.560 --> 01:54:10.199 They live on islands usually, and it's always exciting, I 2094 01:54:10.239 --> 01:54:12.880 will say, as a producer to see when something carries forward, 2095 01:54:13.239 --> 01:54:15.479 yeah to another release with some other company. I mean, 2096 01:54:15.520 --> 01:54:18.479 I don't benefit from it, but the legacy of the film, 2097 01:54:18.680 --> 01:54:21.600 the stories that were told, those voices, move on with it, 2098 01:54:21.640 --> 01:54:22.560 and that's how it should be. 2099 01:54:22.680 --> 01:54:25.359 That's really I've already seen that and been blown away that, 2100 01:54:25.479 --> 01:54:27.199 you know, a special feature that we worked on is 2101 01:54:27.199 --> 01:54:29.199 gonna be on disk in Germany just for some other 2102 01:54:29.279 --> 01:54:30.079 company licenses. 2103 01:54:30.239 --> 01:54:32.239 Wild Like, okay, it's amazing. 2104 01:54:33.680 --> 01:54:35.920 December eighth, over in the UK, one to one film 2105 01:54:35.920 --> 01:54:38.880 speaking of Full Moon is putting out Sorority Babes in 2106 01:54:38.960 --> 01:54:42.199 the slime Ball Bowl of Rama. This is a title 2107 01:54:42.199 --> 01:54:44.119 that a lot of UK people have wanted for quite 2108 01:54:44.119 --> 01:54:47.640 some time. And what I think is hilarious is recently 2109 01:54:47.840 --> 01:54:51.680 a sequel came out to this full full sequel to 2110 01:54:51.720 --> 01:54:54.600 this and it's so bad that it is included as 2111 01:54:54.640 --> 01:54:56.760 a special feature and did not get billing as part 2112 01:54:56.800 --> 01:54:59.880 of the release whatsoever. That is from twenty twenty two, 2113 01:55:00.079 --> 01:55:01.920 and yes you can get that as part of this package. 2114 01:55:02.079 --> 01:55:04.359 Oh that has my special features on it.

Sorority Babes two was not on ours. I 2126 01:55:49.439 --> 01:55:52.520 don't think that worked out for our release, so it's 2127 01:55:52.520 --> 01:55:57.000 basically the commentary the Brink Stevens thing and then the booklet, 2128 01:55:57.359 --> 01:55:59.800 and I think the Umbrella release may have had a 2129 01:55:59.800 --> 01:56:02.520 couple more features on it, but anyway, it's nice to 2130 01:56:02.520 --> 01:56:06.439 see it move on and like we were saying, good. 2131 01:56:06.279 --> 01:56:09.159 Release, I believe like I said, I think this is 2132 01:56:09.199 --> 01:56:12.159 the first UK release at least an HD of this film, 2133 01:56:12.399 --> 01:56:14.720 and it's fun. I think the hard part for this 2134 01:56:14.840 --> 01:56:17.840 movie is everybody sees the poster that's pretty iconic for 2135 01:56:17.880 --> 01:56:20.800 this and goes, yeah, like we got three screen queens, 2136 01:56:20.840 --> 01:56:22.439 this is gonna be sleazy, and then it's it's a 2137 01:56:22.479 --> 01:56:24.760 pretty tame film.

I again 2147 01:56:54.000 --> 01:56:57.319 just will always be happy to see streaming titles come 2148 01:56:57.319 --> 01:56:59.399 out on disc for something like this, because this could 2149 01:56:59.439 --> 01:57:02.039 have just lived on screen Box forever and not gone 2150 01:57:02.119 --> 01:57:04.039 anywhere else. So it's a it's a win. 2151 01:57:04.760 --> 01:57:07.560 It is there's so much that's being left into the 2152 01:57:08.000 --> 01:57:11.199 like in the void in terms of things that were 2153 01:57:11.199 --> 01:57:14.199 made for Amazon and for Netflix, and it's just a 2154 01:57:14.319 --> 01:57:17.479 it's a real shame there's a Chainsaw Massacre movie that 2155 01:57:17.520 --> 01:57:21.359 doesn't have a legitimate physical release. Do you think fans 2156 01:57:21.399 --> 01:57:23.800 aren't gonna want that? Some of the I worked on 2157 01:57:23.840 --> 01:57:28.119 a few titles for Paramount and Blumhouse that were really 2158 01:57:28.159 --> 01:57:31.600 great films. One of them called The Passenger with Kyle Gallner. 2159 01:57:32.680 --> 01:57:36.319 Kyle is out just outstanding in that movie. 2160 01:57:36.520 --> 01:57:38.279 I've got a bootleg of it right over there, so 2161 01:57:38.439 --> 01:57:38.840 do I. 2162 01:57:40.520 --> 01:57:43.800 And I made this. It was amazing projects to be 2163 01:57:43.880 --> 01:57:47.399 part of and the proud of the documentaries. And to 2164 01:57:47.479 --> 01:57:51.239 his credit, Kyle is I never hear from people usually, 2165 01:57:51.359 --> 01:57:54.239 especially when there's like an ePK team that I'm running 2166 01:57:54.239 --> 01:57:56.399 and they're shooting stuff and I'm not actually on set 2167 01:57:56.920 --> 01:58:00.520 but I'm cutting, and but they had to send for 2168 01:58:00.560 --> 01:58:02.800 approval to the people who were in the film on 2169 01:58:02.880 --> 01:58:06.640 the documentary, and Kyle wrote to me and he's like, hey, man, 2170 01:58:06.760 --> 01:58:09.840 I never see these actually happen. There's always cruise around, 2171 01:58:09.840 --> 01:58:12.000 but I never see the result of it. And he 2172 01:58:12.079 --> 01:58:14.800 was so happy about how the documentary ended out. And 2173 01:58:14.840 --> 01:58:18.239 now Ryan, it's invisible. It's nowhere it was supposed to 2174 01:58:18.319 --> 01:58:20.680 live with the film wherever it was on Apple or 2175 01:58:21.399 --> 01:58:24.760 whatever the hell else. It's like it never existed in 2176 01:58:24.800 --> 01:58:27.119 the first place. And those movies, too, they're very hard 2177 01:58:27.159 --> 01:58:31.079 to find. And the documentaries I did on these things 2178 01:58:31.119 --> 01:58:33.239 are just dead and that's heartbreaking. 2179 01:58:33.920 --> 01:58:35.520 You got a private link for that doc you can 2180 01:58:35.560 --> 01:58:37.000 share it. I would love to see it. 2181 01:58:37.039 --> 01:58:38.119 Talk to me after the show. 2182 01:58:38.560 --> 01:58:41.880 Will do Next up, we talked about Monta Micabro. Second 2183 01:58:41.880 --> 01:58:44.239 title is a double feature of Mystics and Bali and 2184 01:58:44.319 --> 01:58:48.439 Queens of Black Magic, two films that had previous releases 2185 01:58:48.439 --> 01:58:53.039 from Mondo on DVD that again, they weren't terrible DVDs necessarily, 2186 01:58:53.039 --> 01:58:56.319 but they weren't great, and everybody loves these films, so 2187 01:58:56.399 --> 01:58:59.439 to see them get an HD release is just fantastic. 2188 01:58:59.560 --> 01:59:02.000 They are both getting their own disc in this, and 2189 01:59:02.680 --> 01:59:06.039 they're both going to look just incredible. Jared was already 2190 01:59:06.039 --> 01:59:09.039 telling me the scans on these are older. But if 2191 01:59:09.119 --> 01:59:11.159 you ever saw the release of The Warrior that came out, 2192 01:59:11.199 --> 01:59:14.520 I think that was last year. That was a twenty 2193 01:59:14.680 --> 01:59:17.399 year old HD scan that they put on disc, and 2194 01:59:17.439 --> 01:59:20.239 it still looks like it was just done. It's that 2195 01:59:20.399 --> 01:59:21.840 good of a scan on it. And they're doing the 2196 01:59:21.880 --> 01:59:25.520 same thing with these. They supposedly look amazing. This is 2197 01:59:25.520 --> 01:59:27.079 going to be a two disc set with an exclusive 2198 01:59:27.079 --> 01:59:30.680 slipcover and reversible inner sleeve. You've got all kinds of 2199 01:59:30.720 --> 01:59:33.600 extras on here. Introductions to both films by Joko Anwar, 2200 01:59:33.720 --> 01:59:37.520 another great Indonesian filmmaker that's been You've probably seen at 2201 01:59:37.560 --> 01:59:40.239 least one of his films on Shutter Visual essay called 2202 01:59:40.279 --> 01:59:43.359 Monsters Movies, A myth by Jake Gallo, extended two hour 2203 01:59:43.479 --> 01:59:45.880 version of Mystics in Bali, which is going to have 2204 01:59:46.119 --> 01:59:49.560 I think it's SD cut ins from like the only 2205 01:59:49.880 --> 01:59:53.039 like tape master that exists of them, But at least 2206 01:59:53.079 --> 01:59:55.520 you'll be able to have it if you want. I 2207 01:59:55.560 --> 01:59:59.319 love both of these movies. I do too, great great 2208 01:59:59.359 --> 02:00:03.760 stuff from Monto. Colden says, I'm excited every time I 2209 02:00:03.760 --> 02:00:06.399 add a Suzanna film to myself shelf, and you should 2210 02:00:06.399 --> 02:00:11.720 be absolutely What a way to follow that up by 2211 02:00:11.800 --> 02:00:15.079 The Slayer Man coming to Blu Ray now. This is 2212 02:00:15.119 --> 02:00:17.640 now available in the US from somebody called Vantage Media. 2213 02:00:17.760 --> 02:00:20.239 Not sure who those guys are. I'll get a trailer, featurette, 2214 02:00:20.239 --> 02:00:23.800 commentary track, and a music video. But hey, this exists 2215 02:00:23.800 --> 02:00:25.600 on HD here in the US. 2216 02:00:25.840 --> 02:00:27.960 All right, I haven't seen it. 2217 02:00:28.920 --> 02:00:31.399 I love that the catchphrase on the front is he 2218 02:00:31.680 --> 02:00:36.720 is what he Is? You love that classic Popeye I 2219 02:00:36.760 --> 02:00:38.960 Am what I Am? It is. They're trying to make 2220 02:00:38.960 --> 02:00:41.520 it intimidating, and he is what he Is is what 2221 02:00:41.560 --> 02:00:46.319 they chose to go with. It's just not intimidating. I've 2222 02:00:46.319 --> 02:00:49.439 also heard this one is incredible. Goldwyn Films putting out 2223 02:00:49.439 --> 02:00:51.800 the Canamani Cristo from last year on four K here 2224 02:00:51.840 --> 02:00:55.000 in the US on November eleventh. Nowhere on extras or 2225 02:00:55.000 --> 02:00:57.640 goldbi Vision or anything like that. But it's getting a 2226 02:00:57.640 --> 02:01:00.840 four K Supposedly this movie is beautiful. I know that 2227 02:01:01.159 --> 02:01:05.600 everybody loves the old Jim cavizl Knamani Crust Monty Cristo. 2228 02:01:06.159 --> 02:01:08.239 If you watch the trailer for this, it looks almost 2229 02:01:08.279 --> 02:01:10.560 like a shot for shot, like it is beautifully shot 2230 02:01:10.680 --> 02:01:14.239 like that. This to me seems like it's quite worth 2231 02:01:14.399 --> 02:01:20.720 looking out for. Wow. Well, go USA putting out The 2232 02:01:20.760 --> 02:01:23.359 Mannequin on October twenty eighth on Blue Rain DVD. Here 2233 02:01:23.359 --> 02:01:26.560 in the US, this sounds very odd. It says, when 2234 02:01:26.600 --> 02:01:30.760 an aspiring fashion designer mysteriously dies alone, most people accept 2235 02:01:30.800 --> 02:01:34.000 it as a tragic suicide. Her sister remains unconvinced and 2236 02:01:34.039 --> 02:01:38.039 returns to the historic building to investigate, but unsettling paranormal 2237 02:01:38.079 --> 02:01:42.000 experiences quickly escalate. Leanna discovers this Los Angeles site holds 2238 02:01:42.039 --> 02:01:44.600 a terrible secret. It is haunted by a killer who 2239 02:01:44.600 --> 02:01:47.479 brutally holds a tear or sorry, who brutally murdered and 2240 02:01:47.520 --> 02:01:50.560 dismembered his victims decades ago. She and her friends must 2241 02:01:50.600 --> 02:01:53.239 escape the ghosts deadly grasp before they lose their own 2242 02:01:53.279 --> 02:01:56.920 limbs and lives. This is a wild cover on this. 2243 02:01:57.680 --> 02:01:59.680 Yeah, it's striking. I saw it today for the first 2244 02:01:59.720 --> 02:02:01.439 time and I was like, WHOA, what is this? 2245 02:02:03.199 --> 02:02:07.239 I appreciate well go USA for getting releases for so 2246 02:02:07.279 --> 02:02:09.560 many films that would not get any releases at all. 2247 02:02:09.760 --> 02:02:11.760 Are you have you checked out anything from them or 2248 02:02:11.800 --> 02:02:13.640 are you keeping up with any of the stuff that 2249 02:02:13.680 --> 02:02:14.119 they're doing. 2250 02:02:14.399 --> 02:02:17.239 I haven't. No, I mean I may have something, but 2251 02:02:17.319 --> 02:02:19.880 I'm not. I certainly have not been keeping up on 2252 02:02:19.920 --> 02:02:22.399 their catalog or anything. Like that. They have a weird name. 2253 02:02:23.159 --> 02:02:25.079 They do. They're an interesting company. 2254 02:02:25.119 --> 02:02:29.079 I mean, they do the phantasm stuff. They did the fantasm. 2255 02:02:28.920 --> 02:02:31.199 They did I think just the first one, or did 2256 02:02:31.199 --> 02:02:32.159 they do the box. 2257 02:02:31.960 --> 02:02:34.479 That they did them in a box that had the 2258 02:02:34.479 --> 02:02:35.119 they did. 2259 02:02:34.920 --> 02:02:36.880 That's right, and then they did I think just the 2260 02:02:36.920 --> 02:02:38.279 first one on four K after that. 2261 02:02:38.319 --> 02:02:40.279 Maybe that's when they landed on my radars with that, 2262 02:02:40.479 --> 02:02:42.199 So that may be the only thing I have from them, 2263 02:02:42.439 --> 02:02:43.319 might be, but. 2264 02:02:43.600 --> 02:02:47.119 Yeah, and that's the thing they focused. Like ninety two 2265 02:02:47.199 --> 02:02:50.560 percent of their output is really great modern Asian cinema, 2266 02:02:50.880 --> 02:02:54.600 and then the rest is fantasm or the mannequin like 2267 02:02:54.760 --> 02:02:57.600 so many of this is just odd mixture in the 2268 02:02:57.640 --> 02:02:59.880 rest of this pretty prestige catalog. 2269 02:03:00.039 --> 02:03:01.840 What they're doing, Well, maybe that tells us we can 2270 02:03:01.880 --> 02:03:03.760 trust in checking this out. 2271 02:03:03.920 --> 02:03:09.479 I mean that's true. Well, speaking of Prestige nineteen ninety 2272 02:03:09.520 --> 02:03:13.079 five's Babe coming on four K on December sixteenth, from Kena. 2273 02:03:13.159 --> 02:03:16.920 Lber that was said, without any sort of irony, I 2274 02:03:16.960 --> 02:03:19.720 love this movie. New audio commentary by Julie Kruego and 2275 02:03:19.840 --> 02:03:23.439 Peter Hancoff on this there is also a brand new 2276 02:03:23.479 --> 02:03:27.439 interview with James Cromwell on this disc from twenty twenty five, 2277 02:03:27.720 --> 02:03:30.720 brand new interview. Yeah, and it's eighteen minutes long. Like 2278 02:03:30.920 --> 02:03:33.840 that is incredible. There's also a new interview with George Miller. 2279 02:03:34.279 --> 02:03:38.039 Keno does not put a ton of effort into some discs, 2280 02:03:38.359 --> 02:03:39.760 But the fact that they went out and got two 2281 02:03:39.840 --> 02:03:42.800 brand new interviews with two people that, let's be honest, 2282 02:03:42.880 --> 02:03:45.199 probably won't be around all that much longer for either 2283 02:03:45.239 --> 02:03:47.600 of them. I love that they did it, and I 2284 02:03:47.640 --> 02:03:49.359 love that they did it for Babe, Like this was 2285 02:03:49.399 --> 02:03:52.600 a huge thing, and the next one that we're about 2286 02:03:52.600 --> 02:03:54.640 to talk about was a huge thing on top of 2287 02:03:54.680 --> 02:03:58.199 this huge thing. But nineteen ninety five's Babe, and then 2288 02:03:58.199 --> 02:04:00.960 on the same day, nineteen ninety eight, it's Babe Pig 2289 02:04:00.960 --> 02:04:03.840 in the City City also getting a four K. 2290 02:04:04.600 --> 02:04:05.760 Babe takes Manhattan. 2291 02:04:07.600 --> 02:04:09.880 Another new interview with Georgie Miller on this one another 2292 02:04:09.920 --> 02:04:12.319 new commentary, or do you have nostalgia for these?

The second 2297 02:04:26.399 --> 02:04:28.960 one gets pretty dark too. I love that it's just 2298 02:04:29.399 --> 02:04:30.720 it's a fun movie and. 2299 02:04:30.680 --> 02:04:33.359 It's like Ice Squad. Tell me how dark it gets? 2300 02:04:33.439 --> 02:04:38.279 Ran it gets, uh gets a little more real. We'll 2301 02:04:38.279 --> 02:04:41.880 say that. Okay, other than CGI talking pigs, all right. 2302 02:04:42.880 --> 02:04:44.720 Then they're doing a double feature, both of them on 2303 02:04:44.760 --> 02:04:46.960 Blu Ray.

I guess I 2371 02:08:19.800 --> 02:08:22.720 nice didn't get like this special edition release or something. 2372 02:08:22.720 --> 02:08:25.760 It came from Toho, so I ordered it directly from them, 2373 02:08:25.840 --> 02:08:29.640 and I've had that for a spell. But there's lots 2374 02:08:29.640 --> 02:08:33.359 of great stuff in this. I I love Edward Scissorhands 2375 02:08:33.359 --> 02:08:36.079 so much. I love Miss forty five in the Mouth 2376 02:08:36.119 --> 02:08:38.279 of Madness. You know, you can't see enough of that. 2377 02:08:38.520 --> 02:08:40.720 There's it's a great lineup of films here. I don't 2378 02:08:40.760 --> 02:08:42.920 know what else to say about it. I wish they 2379 02:08:42.960 --> 02:08:47.279 would release Scooby Doo and Kiss movie because that is 2380 02:08:47.279 --> 02:08:52.000 one of the great sort of buried gems for Kiss fans, 2381 02:08:52.039 --> 02:08:54.800 because have you seen that movie years ago? 2382 02:08:54.840 --> 02:08:59.439 I did the same with the Phansom of the Part, Yes, yeah, 2383 02:08:59.479 --> 02:09:03.600 Fantom of the Well, like John Harrison out of Australia 2384 02:09:03.680 --> 02:09:06.760 just put out his Kiss book, and I there's so 2385 02:09:06.880 --> 02:09:09.399 much that I wish that we could like unfold the 2386 02:09:09.479 --> 02:09:11.560 rights for. And obviously Kiss has been a lot of 2387 02:09:11.560 --> 02:09:14.960 people's minds over the last ten days with a recent tragedy. 2388 02:09:15.000 --> 02:09:17.600 But I mean it's it's like one of those things 2389 02:09:17.640 --> 02:09:20.920 that people have been itching for for. 2390 02:09:20.560 --> 02:09:24.399 Ever, the Kiss and Scooby Doo movie, and I think 2391 02:09:24.399 --> 02:09:27.199 it's called rock and Roll Mystery if I remember correctly, 2392 02:09:27.840 --> 02:09:32.079 was such. It is a total love letter to Kiss 2393 02:09:32.199 --> 02:09:36.399 and Kiss fans. There's so many deep cuts and references 2394 02:09:37.000 --> 02:09:41.079 to albums even there's a lot of it's heavily leaning 2395 02:09:41.119 --> 02:09:44.199 into The Elder songs from the Elder, which is the 2396 02:09:44.239 --> 02:09:47.920 album that Kiss fans kind of don't talk about, but 2397 02:09:48.720 --> 02:09:52.359 rich and more because it was a concept album that 2398 02:09:52.960 --> 02:09:55.279 a lot of the elements in this movie pull from. 2399 02:09:55.520 --> 02:09:57.560 So I can't say enough good things about that. And 2400 02:09:57.600 --> 02:09:59.760 I would love for that to get blue ray with 2401 02:10:00.399 --> 02:10:03.479 interviews and things. I would yea, how cool would it be? 2402 02:10:04.000 --> 02:10:06.640 To have commentary with Paul and Jean or something like that. 2403 02:10:07.239 --> 02:10:08.399 Oh so cool. 2404 02:10:09.079 --> 02:10:12.279 I wish, I wish. So let's get into some of 2405 02:10:12.279 --> 02:10:15.880 this special features work Reverend Entertainment. For those that have 2406 02:10:15.920 --> 02:10:19.279 not ever heard the name, because it's not usually listed 2407 02:10:19.319 --> 02:10:21.000 on the back of the box or anything like that, 2408 02:10:21.079 --> 02:10:22.399 how long ago did you act? 2409 02:10:22.520 --> 02:10:22.680 Look? 2410 02:10:22.720 --> 02:10:26.079 When was the first Reverend Entertainment Itself project? That was 2411 02:10:26.600 --> 02:10:28.520 what like twenty eleven, twenty twelve. 2412 02:10:29.119 --> 02:10:31.520 That sounds about right. I think it was maybe twenty eleven. 2413 02:10:32.199 --> 02:10:35.720 The name I think was put on something for the 2414 02:10:35.760 --> 02:10:39.600 first time on sleep Boy Camp. I want to say 2415 02:10:39.640 --> 02:10:42.760 that must have been the first time, because I remember 2416 02:10:43.760 --> 02:10:45.600 the editor who I was sitting with at the time, 2417 02:10:45.840 --> 02:10:48.479 Justin Cruz, who's an amazing talent. It's gone on to 2418 02:10:48.600 --> 02:10:54.399 much greener pastures than cutting my crap together. He was like, so, 2419 02:10:54.439 --> 02:10:56.880 what what do you put on there for a company name? 2420 02:10:57.199 --> 02:11:00.880 And I'm like, it's just me and he's like, no, 2421 02:11:00.920 --> 02:11:05.399 you need to have a company and like and there's 2422 02:11:05.439 --> 02:11:08.439 this whole convoluted story behind the name that I won't 2423 02:11:08.760 --> 02:11:11.399 bore you with, but it has to do with professional 2424 02:11:11.479 --> 02:11:16.359 wrestling and witches and Salem and this whole thing from 2425 02:11:16.479 --> 02:11:19.560 years before. That may be for another day, but I 2426 02:11:19.640 --> 02:11:23.399 pulled that out of my out of the air at 2427 02:11:23.439 --> 02:11:25.119 the time when we were sitting there, and that's how 2428 02:11:25.119 --> 02:11:26.520 Reverend Entertainment was born. 2429 02:11:26.600 --> 02:11:28.960 And you could say on the show, by the way. 2430 02:11:28.880 --> 02:11:36.439 Okay, thank you. And in the moment, I remembered something 2431 02:11:36.560 --> 02:11:39.800 that back to Carpenter had told me years ago, which 2432 02:11:39.960 --> 02:11:44.960 was like, put your name on things, and you acknowledged 2433 02:11:44.960 --> 02:11:47.560 earlier how bad I am promoting stuff and how gross 2434 02:11:47.600 --> 02:11:51.319 it feels like even like talking about the album and 2435 02:11:51.359 --> 02:11:55.560 when people are asking me about it's a it's an 2436 02:11:55.560 --> 02:12:00.000 awkward intersection for me, like transitioning from the creation stage 2437 02:12:00.119 --> 02:12:03.760 of things into the marketing stage and all of that. 2438 02:12:03.880 --> 02:12:07.920 It's not really where I belong. But he said his 2439 02:12:08.000 --> 02:12:11.119 way around that because he felt the same was he's 2440 02:12:11.199 --> 02:12:14.439 like on his famous story on Halloween seventy eight when 2441 02:12:15.079 --> 02:12:17.000 he said, okay, well I'll do it for that amount 2442 02:12:17.079 --> 02:12:19.439 if my name can be above it. And he told 2443 02:12:19.520 --> 02:12:21.680 me that's what gave me my career. And he said, 2444 02:12:21.680 --> 02:12:23.960 whatever you do, and make sure your name is there. 2445 02:12:24.600 --> 02:12:26.720 And I'm like, all right, this will be my shortcut 2446 02:12:26.720 --> 02:12:30.000 to not having to talk like promote things so much, 2447 02:12:30.079 --> 02:12:34.600 and whatever, and so I put that above the Reverend 2448 02:12:34.680 --> 02:12:42.119 Entertainment name and it's stuck ever since. And it's been 2449 02:12:42.600 --> 02:12:46.399 just a crazy journey of ups and downs and all 2450 02:12:46.520 --> 02:12:53.720 kinds of side roads with small labels and personal projects 2451 02:12:53.760 --> 02:12:57.960 like Sleepway Camp. I took to shout body Bags, I 2452 02:12:58.000 --> 02:13:00.239 took to shout so some things that I've ad actually 2453 02:13:00.319 --> 02:13:04.960 sort of cultivated and taken in hush. I'm not hush. 2454 02:13:05.359 --> 02:13:08.039 Haunt was that way. I remember, I think you and 2455 02:13:08.039 --> 02:13:10.800 I talked about the hot Box set with Ronan and 2456 02:13:11.359 --> 02:13:14.880 how great Ronan was about just letting the three of us, Scott, 2457 02:13:14.920 --> 02:13:18.680 Brian and I just run wild with that thing. So 2458 02:13:19.680 --> 02:13:24.000 man surviving COVID through this. There was a time when 2459 02:13:24.000 --> 02:13:26.159 I stepped away from the business for a while because 2460 02:13:26.199 --> 02:13:28.239 I was so burned out, and then I came back 2461 02:13:28.319 --> 02:13:32.359 for Silent a deadly night and they drew me back 2462 02:13:32.399 --> 02:13:37.720 in and it's been crazy. I mean, I didn't know 2463 02:13:37.760 --> 02:13:40.279 where to begin, but yeah, seep Away Camp is the 2464 02:13:40.319 --> 02:13:41.760 first time that my name was on it. The first 2465 02:13:41.800 --> 02:13:44.520 ones I produced were Halloween four and five, and then 2466 02:13:44.560 --> 02:13:48.079 there was tank Girl and tank Girl happening, I think 2467 02:13:48.159 --> 02:13:52.760 kind of simultaneously with Sleepaway Camp, and then prior to 2468 02:13:53.600 --> 02:13:56.560 at the same time as those, Michael Felcher, the great 2469 02:13:56.600 --> 02:14:01.079 Michael Felcher, who's like one of the gods of the 2470 02:14:01.119 --> 02:14:04.359 realm of documentary and special features, brought me in on 2471 02:14:05.000 --> 02:14:08.319 Prince of Darkness when he did that for Shout and 2472 02:14:08.399 --> 02:14:13.920 so I interviewed John and Alice Cooper for that, which 2473 02:14:14.000 --> 02:14:16.000 led to this whole thing with Alice over the years 2474 02:14:16.600 --> 02:14:19.920 a number of times. And he also brought me in 2475 02:14:20.039 --> 02:14:21.960 on Town That Dreaded Sundown. 2476 02:14:22.600 --> 02:14:24.479 Great great film, great release too. 2477 02:14:25.199 --> 02:14:27.319 I was so that movie haunted me when I was 2478 02:14:27.319 --> 02:14:30.239 a kid. I remember seeing it at my babysitters. She 2479 02:14:30.399 --> 02:14:32.479 was taking a nap and I'm downstairs. I don't know 2480 02:14:32.479 --> 02:14:35.720 how tiny. I was just transfixed by what I was 2481 02:14:35.800 --> 02:14:38.520 seeing this. I'll never forget the trombone scene with the 2482 02:14:38.640 --> 02:14:44.159 knife and the tree. I'm like, five, turn off your TV. 2483 02:14:44.520 --> 02:14:45.800 I don't know, hide the remote. 2484 02:14:45.840 --> 02:14:48.079 I don't remember. First off, like most people in the 2485 02:14:48.159 --> 02:14:50.640 chat that have not seen that, that sentence alone has 2486 02:14:50.680 --> 02:14:52.800 to be one of the most mbone of the knife, 2487 02:14:52.840 --> 02:14:54.960 the trombone and the knife in the tree. Yeah. 2488 02:14:55.319 --> 02:14:57.960 Yeah, not something you're gonna hear every day, but it's 2489 02:14:58.000 --> 02:15:00.880 a and it's a fascinating movie, and that track for 2490 02:15:01.000 --> 02:15:03.720 me was the first time that I was like, Okay, 2491 02:15:03.800 --> 02:15:07.880 well maybe we can try something creative here, because it's 2492 02:15:07.880 --> 02:15:11.600 a real story, right. It's this movie by Charles B. Pierce, 2493 02:15:11.600 --> 02:15:14.239 who I love from Boggy Creek, which became this whole 2494 02:15:14.279 --> 02:15:19.439 other thing with Pam. This movie straddles the worlds of 2495 02:15:19.439 --> 02:15:22.960 reality in cinema in a way that's playful but also dark, 2496 02:15:23.079 --> 02:15:26.600 and it's just so good. And so I brought in 2497 02:15:27.359 --> 02:15:31.439 the case the case historian James Presley, who is in 2498 02:15:31.439 --> 02:15:34.039 the middle of writing a book that's now out on 2499 02:15:34.079 --> 02:15:39.479 that case, and he was on one side of the 2500 02:15:39.520 --> 02:15:41.920 conversation talking about the case. I was on the other 2501 02:15:41.960 --> 02:15:45.159 side talking about the film and Pierce, and we had 2502 02:15:45.159 --> 02:15:48.760 a discussion that ran on that commentary. And I don't 2503 02:15:48.760 --> 02:15:52.800 put myself on commentaries unless I asked to, or unless 2504 02:15:52.840 --> 02:15:57.000 it's like absolutely necessary for some reason. But on that one, 2505 02:15:57.159 --> 02:15:58.800 I mean, it was so early and I didn't have 2506 02:15:58.840 --> 02:16:01.039 anyone else to put in that lot. So it was 2507 02:16:01.079 --> 02:16:05.079 an exciting conversation. And so as much as I tipped 2508 02:16:05.079 --> 02:16:07.760 my hat to I was giving credit earlier to these 2509 02:16:07.800 --> 02:16:11.520 other folks Shout and Trancas and all that I have 2510 02:16:11.600 --> 02:16:15.399 to also do the same for Felscher because he had 2511 02:16:15.399 --> 02:16:17.920 no reason to bring this dumb ass from Iowa in 2512 02:16:18.000 --> 02:16:21.079 to cover any of this stuff, and he did, and 2513 02:16:21.159 --> 02:16:22.359 I'm forever grateful for that. 2514 02:16:23.319 --> 02:16:27.199 I mean, not turning this about me, but just to 2515 02:16:27.239 --> 02:16:30.039 show how meaningful they are. Both Felscher and another one 2516 02:16:30.039 --> 02:16:32.760 that was mentioned earlier, Lee Gambon, are the two people 2517 02:16:32.799 --> 02:16:35.040 that I can credit with me getting into the stuff 2518 02:16:35.040 --> 02:16:38.399 as well. Like Lee brought me into edit, Lee referred 2519 02:16:38.479 --> 02:16:41.319 me to Felcher for another shout project, and without them, 2520 02:16:41.840 --> 02:16:43.840 I wouldn't be sitting here with you two and a 2521 02:16:43.840 --> 02:16:46.159 half years of work for this industry behind me. Now 2522 02:16:46.159 --> 02:16:49.000 it's kind of crazy, and a lot of that is 2523 02:16:49.000 --> 02:16:52.319 because of people like you that kind of After Anchor 2524 02:16:52.360 --> 02:16:55.040 Bay came in and set the bar for a lot 2525 02:16:55.040 --> 02:16:58.159 of people, You and Lee and a handful of others 2526 02:16:58.200 --> 02:17:00.159 said well, but what else can we do? What can 2527 02:17:00.159 --> 02:17:01.680 we do to push the boundaries? What can we do 2528 02:17:01.760 --> 02:17:05.760 to keep this alive? And now, I mean when Scream 2529 02:17:05.799 --> 02:17:08.680 Factory approached you, what they weren't even screen factory. They 2530 02:17:08.680 --> 02:17:12.079 were shut factory about Halloween four and five. Now look 2531 02:17:12.120 --> 02:17:15.360 at what they've done since then I mean, it's an explosion. 2532 02:17:15.719 --> 02:17:22.040 It's crazy. I mean, but they Cliff and Jeff, and 2533 02:17:22.079 --> 02:17:24.200 I can point directly to them of course as a 2534 02:17:24.239 --> 02:17:27.040 marketing team there and whatever else, but I think Jeff 2535 02:17:27.079 --> 02:17:29.479 was head of marketing at the time. It's kind of 2536 02:17:29.559 --> 02:17:31.879 like what I was talking about with Paramount, where if 2537 02:17:31.920 --> 02:17:36.399 you have the right fans internally, Yep, they can see 2538 02:17:36.639 --> 02:17:40.360 and seize the opportunity in that moment, and what they 2539 02:17:40.360 --> 02:17:43.280 were embarking on, they were already underway on. I think 2540 02:17:43.319 --> 02:17:47.840 the Fog. I think the Fog was the first. Was 2541 02:17:47.840 --> 02:17:50.319 that the first Scream Factory title? It may have been, 2542 02:17:50.719 --> 02:17:54.120 but they were underway with the Fog and something else 2543 02:17:54.200 --> 02:17:54.959 I can't remember. 2544 02:17:55.280 --> 02:17:57.079 I think they live as one of those first ones. 2545 02:17:57.399 --> 02:17:59.840 Okay, all right, Well, so it started with Carpenter and 2546 02:18:01.200 --> 02:18:04.520 I was just floored with their dedication and passion for 2547 02:18:04.559 --> 02:18:11.079 this stuff, which it became friendships with those guys and 2548 02:18:11.360 --> 02:18:18.520 a mutual respect and openness to ideas. And that wasn't 2549 02:18:18.559 --> 02:18:22.120 something that I necessarily knew to expect or not expect, 2550 02:18:22.200 --> 02:18:25.239 but it taught me to want that. It taught me 2551 02:18:25.360 --> 02:18:30.799 to enjoy taking the side roads, to enjoy the weird, 2552 02:18:31.440 --> 02:18:35.760 embrace the arcane, and there are there's stuff that I 2553 02:18:35.799 --> 02:18:38.799 got to do with Shout that I wouldn't have ever 2554 02:18:38.840 --> 02:18:40.959 gotten away with with a lot of other labels, Like 2555 02:18:40.959 --> 02:18:45.840 on Willard, I brought in the rat trainers for audio commentary, 2556 02:18:46.079 --> 02:18:50.719 and a lot of people are like, look, no, no, no, listen. 2557 02:18:50.520 --> 02:18:52.719 Got to hear it, you got to hear it. 2558 02:18:52.719 --> 02:18:55.440 It's these guys are amazing and they've never been tapped 2559 02:18:55.440 --> 02:18:57.280 for this kind of thing before, and they were they 2560 02:18:57.280 --> 02:19:01.719 were nervous coming into the studio and then will you 2561 02:19:01.799 --> 02:19:03.200 be on it with us? We're not going to have 2562 02:19:03.280 --> 02:19:05.120 enough to say, and I'm like, okay, I'll be there. 2563 02:19:05.719 --> 02:19:08.239 I hardly had to say a thing because they had 2564 02:19:08.319 --> 02:19:10.799 such great stories from wall to wall, and not just 2565 02:19:10.840 --> 02:19:13.200 about that production, but other things in that realm that 2566 02:19:13.520 --> 02:19:17.280 the veil isn't lifted on very often, right, And so 2567 02:19:17.399 --> 02:19:21.079 that has become for me, and that was learned through 2568 02:19:21.120 --> 02:19:28.079 those early days with Shout, just like Chris Alexander at Fangoria, 2569 02:19:28.959 --> 02:19:31.840 who ultimately I owe like he's one of the very 2570 02:19:31.879 --> 02:19:35.040 earliest mile markers for me in terms of someone giving 2571 02:19:35.040 --> 02:19:39.360 me opportunity, and Chris was always wanting the weirder, the better, 2572 02:19:39.959 --> 02:19:42.600 and even though he's not with Fango anymore. He's continued 2573 02:19:42.600 --> 02:19:46.559 that with Delirium, his own films that I think are brilliant. 2574 02:19:46.879 --> 02:19:51.399 I love his cinema, but that combination of the Fangoria 2575 02:19:51.520 --> 02:19:54.159 Chris Alexander approach. We're not going to put Spider Man 2576 02:19:54.200 --> 02:19:57.079 on the cover anymore. Now you can do an article 2577 02:19:57.120 --> 02:20:03.360 on Malatesta's Carnival of Blood or Lady Terminator. We're going 2578 02:20:03.399 --> 02:20:06.079 to put Alice Cooper on the cover. That kind of stuff, 2579 02:20:06.079 --> 02:20:07.760 and I think he had been on there before for 2580 02:20:07.840 --> 02:20:12.959 Fango before mine. But it taught me to get weird, 2581 02:20:13.879 --> 02:20:17.200 and that's something that I've always really embraced and to find, Yeah, 2582 02:20:17.639 --> 02:20:20.040 to make time for as many voices on these things 2583 02:20:20.079 --> 02:20:23.040 as I can, and however I can. Is it always 2584 02:20:23.079 --> 02:20:24.959 possible to get in the room with them. No, the 2585 02:20:25.000 --> 02:20:29.520 budgets have never been big for this kind of stuff. 2586 02:20:30.120 --> 02:20:32.680 But what matters to me is the discussion. It matters 2587 02:20:32.799 --> 02:20:35.479 is the conversation and the preservation of the history of 2588 02:20:35.520 --> 02:20:38.639 the movies and these people. So however I have to 2589 02:20:38.680 --> 02:20:39.040 get there. 2590 02:20:39.760 --> 02:20:42.280 A lot of your stuff is on the unique side, 2591 02:20:42.399 --> 02:20:44.239 and one that I wanted to bring up tonight that 2592 02:20:44.280 --> 02:20:46.040 we didn't get a chance to talk to last time 2593 02:20:46.040 --> 02:20:52.040 because it didn't exist yet. Is hush? First off? Again, 2594 02:20:52.559 --> 02:20:55.239 a streaming film that could not be seen anymore, was 2595 02:20:55.280 --> 02:20:58.040 not on Netflix, could not be seen on physical media, 2596 02:20:58.159 --> 02:21:01.040 was not available anywhere. Gets an incredible release, gets a 2597 02:21:01.040 --> 02:21:03.600 brand new cut, gets all this other stuff. The big 2598 02:21:03.639 --> 02:21:06.520 thing I want to bring up we get a video 2599 02:21:06.639 --> 02:21:10.159 audio commentary for this was that your choice was that 2600 02:21:10.319 --> 02:21:12.760 a Flannigan choice. Tell me the story behind it. 2601 02:21:12.879 --> 02:21:14.559 Let me tell you the story behind the whole thing. 2602 02:21:15.000 --> 02:21:18.399 Because Mike Flanagan. 2603 02:21:20.120 --> 02:21:22.799 Hero by the way, like of all of this stuff. 2604 02:21:24.000 --> 02:21:25.879 I'm trying to think of who I could compare him 2605 02:21:25.879 --> 02:21:30.239 to in terms of I really can't. I have never 2606 02:21:30.280 --> 02:21:34.159 worked with a filmmaker before who wanted so badly. Maybe 2607 02:21:34.200 --> 02:21:43.440 Adam Green. Adam Green is in the same view here. 2608 02:21:43.440 --> 02:21:46.079 I don't know my words escaping me right now, but 2609 02:21:46.159 --> 02:21:50.639 where Mike was like, whatever you guys need, Yeah, whatever 2610 02:21:50.680 --> 02:21:55.600 you need. And then Mike made it happen. He brought 2611 02:21:55.600 --> 02:21:58.920 the whole cast together at his house. He opened his 2612 02:21:59.000 --> 02:22:03.680 home to us for two and it was me and 2613 02:22:03.879 --> 02:22:09.680 my team and the internal producer Jeff Roland at Shop 2614 02:22:09.760 --> 02:22:14.479 Factory and they like, I guess you'd say, executive producer 2615 02:22:14.719 --> 02:22:19.799 and Mike and Katie was so amazing and so open 2616 02:22:20.000 --> 02:22:24.520 and hilarious, and the vibe was light, the mood was up, 2617 02:22:25.319 --> 02:22:28.959 and everybody was just relaxing and loving getting a chance 2618 02:22:29.000 --> 02:22:30.639 to catch up. I mean, they had seen each other 2619 02:22:30.719 --> 02:22:34.879 on other projects like Midnight Mass and whatever else, but 2620 02:22:37.440 --> 02:22:39.319 it was like old home week for those folks to 2621 02:22:39.360 --> 02:22:42.959 get back together and talk about this movie. And Mike's 2622 02:22:43.040 --> 02:22:49.840 house is a museum of the most amazing things. And 2623 02:22:49.920 --> 02:22:53.879 our rapport kicked off in the best way because he 2624 02:22:53.959 --> 02:22:55.399 was giving me a tour of the house. He's like, 2625 02:22:55.440 --> 02:22:57.399 we can shoot anywhere you want, whatever you want to do. 2626 02:22:57.479 --> 02:23:00.760 He has a theater in there, black mass mannequins in 2627 02:23:00.799 --> 02:23:04.200 the Midnight Mass mannequins in the back with the dice 2628 02:23:05.360 --> 02:23:08.520 on the walls. He has like all this memorabilia from 2629 02:23:08.520 --> 02:23:13.479 the Natural and Feel the Dreams and the rocketeer and 2630 02:23:13.520 --> 02:23:17.159 the hat from Doctor Sleep and all this other I mean, 2631 02:23:17.200 --> 02:23:19.520 and he's like, yeah, pick it up, check it out. 2632 02:23:19.639 --> 02:23:24.280 He's got he's got Tom Servo and whatever. It's insane. 2633 02:23:24.479 --> 02:23:27.200 And he's giving me the tour of the house and 2634 02:23:27.719 --> 02:23:31.079 we go into his office and I freeze. There's a 2635 02:23:31.120 --> 02:23:37.559 cane on a stand right by the door, and I said, oh, 2636 02:23:37.559 --> 02:23:39.000 my god, is that what I think it is? And 2637 02:23:39.040 --> 02:23:41.360 he goes, wait, are you a Storm of the Century fan? 2638 02:23:42.040 --> 02:23:44.360 And I'm like, is that Lenoja's Cane. He's like, that's 2639 02:23:44.399 --> 02:23:48.360 Lenoja's hero Caine from Yes You're a Fan, And I'm like, 2640 02:23:48.600 --> 02:23:51.120 am I a fan? I love Storm of the Century 2641 02:23:51.200 --> 02:23:54.040 and it has one of the best audio commentaries in 2642 02:23:54.079 --> 02:23:56.799 the history of audio commentaries, by the way, yep. So 2643 02:23:57.200 --> 02:23:59.239 it was a very quick bond. And he said, well, 2644 02:23:59.280 --> 02:24:02.360 then in the corner and let's keep talking. And I 2645 02:24:02.399 --> 02:24:05.200 turn the corner and find myself standing in front of 2646 02:24:05.399 --> 02:24:10.520 the most incredible Stephen King collection I have ever seen. Yeah, 2647 02:24:10.559 --> 02:24:13.040 the other memorabilia is cool, but I'm a King guy, 2648 02:24:13.120 --> 02:24:16.639 and I being close to like the box set edition 2649 02:24:16.680 --> 02:24:19.719 of the Stand and all this other stuff. And then 2650 02:24:20.399 --> 02:24:24.360 I look down and there's the typewriter from Misery, Oh jeez, 2651 02:24:24.639 --> 02:24:29.959 and there's the hammer from Misery. Mike Flanagan isn't just 2652 02:24:30.000 --> 02:24:34.040 getting a chance to work on Stephen King's stuff. He 2653 02:24:34.159 --> 02:24:38.719 is fulfilling a lifelong dream to work on Stephen King stuff. 2654 02:24:39.079 --> 02:24:42.959 And he's not coming at it lightly. He lives it. 2655 02:24:43.200 --> 02:24:46.440 If you enter his home. The man lives it, he 2656 02:24:46.479 --> 02:24:49.040 really does, and I cannot say enough great things about 2657 02:24:49.079 --> 02:24:51.840 him and that whole I mean, everybody who came in 2658 02:24:51.840 --> 02:24:54.200 to do the interviews was so generous with their time 2659 02:24:54.239 --> 02:24:58.399 and their storytelling, and I think it's a great portrait 2660 02:24:58.479 --> 02:25:02.120 of a guy early in his career who did something 2661 02:25:02.159 --> 02:25:06.120 in a newish medium, the streaming thing, who had some 2662 02:25:06.600 --> 02:25:10.520 complicated relationship with that eventually right, and that's why he 2663 02:25:10.559 --> 02:25:15.520 wrestled back the rights. And to your question about the 2664 02:25:15.600 --> 02:25:20.000 video commentary on that, that was Jeff Roland. So that's 2665 02:25:20.040 --> 02:25:24.280 the internal executive at Shout Factory, and he came up 2666 02:25:24.319 --> 02:25:26.159 with the ideas like can we throw a camera up 2667 02:25:26.159 --> 02:25:30.920 in the corner of the room, and so we did it. 2668 02:25:30.920 --> 02:25:34.000 It was it was kind of crazy because I had 2669 02:25:34.000 --> 02:25:36.239 to be hopping in and out of the room because 2670 02:25:36.479 --> 02:25:40.120 we were like doing other stuff out in the kitchen 2671 02:25:40.159 --> 02:25:42.440 area where we had gear staged and things. So I 2672 02:25:42.440 --> 02:25:46.600 would come in check the audio, head back out, and 2673 02:25:46.639 --> 02:25:49.000 I think to cover me in that they put like 2674 02:25:49.159 --> 02:25:51.719 the box of the movie in the middle of the 2675 02:25:51.760 --> 02:25:54.399 screen where I was sitting, which is kind of meant 2676 02:25:54.399 --> 02:25:56.399 to sort of hide me getting in and out of 2677 02:25:56.399 --> 02:26:01.159 that room all the time because I ruined it. But anyway, 2678 02:26:01.200 --> 02:26:04.200 it was an honor to be part of. And Mike's 2679 02:26:04.440 --> 02:26:07.200 incredible and he sent the sweetest email when it came 2680 02:26:07.239 --> 02:26:10.840 out once well shortly before after he saw everything and 2681 02:26:10.879 --> 02:26:13.799 it had approved all the special features and stuff, and 2682 02:26:13.840 --> 02:26:16.239 I had all this. He gave me everything from behind 2683 02:26:16.239 --> 02:26:19.440 the scenes. He gave me all of the BTS stuff 2684 02:26:19.440 --> 02:26:24.079 that anybody shot with their phones with ePK anything, and 2685 02:26:24.120 --> 02:26:26.559 I got to use it all on the documentaries and everything. 2686 02:26:26.719 --> 02:26:31.600 And I just love the guy so dearly, and that 2687 02:26:31.719 --> 02:26:36.680 experience is something I'll never forget, never forget. 2688 02:26:37.840 --> 02:26:40.920 To see. To see somebody that loves physical media be 2689 02:26:40.920 --> 02:26:44.799 able to wrestle his streaming only film and get a 2690 02:26:45.040 --> 02:26:49.280 four disc loving release with all kinds of new special features, 2691 02:26:49.280 --> 02:26:53.360 new cut, knew everything was such a like I'm so 2692 02:26:53.479 --> 02:26:55.760 happy for him type of moment, and then to have 2693 02:26:55.799 --> 02:26:58.959 the release be genuinely great is just so gratifying for 2694 02:26:59.000 --> 02:27:02.200 people that love him and Stephen King and this legacy 2695 02:27:02.239 --> 02:27:05.559 that he's been holding force even for all this time. Yeah, 2696 02:27:05.760 --> 02:27:07.959 I'm stoked that you can work on it. It turned 2697 02:27:08.000 --> 02:27:09.000 out just incredible. 2698 02:27:09.159 --> 02:27:11.399 Yeah, it's an honor. 2699 02:27:12.879 --> 02:27:18.280 To pivot. Ever so massively from Mike Flanagan. I mean 2700 02:27:18.360 --> 02:27:20.879 bringing out the Dead, to be able to work on this, 2701 02:27:21.000 --> 02:27:25.399 to be able to see a Scorsese film that people 2702 02:27:25.479 --> 02:27:27.760 have been wondering, Where the hell is it? Why is 2703 02:27:27.799 --> 02:27:29.719 this one that we can't see? Why is this one 2704 02:27:29.760 --> 02:27:32.399 that Criterion hasn't touched yet, what it's going on with 2705 02:27:32.440 --> 02:27:37.559 the rights? Suddenly come out and get a very good release, 2706 02:27:37.760 --> 02:27:41.799 be very happy, and now be fully out of print. 2707 02:27:42.520 --> 02:27:44.799 Let's hear some of these stories behind the scenes and 2708 02:27:44.840 --> 02:27:48.719 all that stuff for now. I mean we all kind 2709 02:27:48.719 --> 02:27:50.239 of know it's probably coming again soon. 2710 02:27:50.360 --> 02:27:52.959 Okay, well we just announced are they just announced breakdown? 2711 02:27:53.120 --> 02:27:55.479 So you never know what may be coming down the road. 2712 02:27:56.159 --> 02:27:59.280 I've been knocking on that door like the biggest pests 2713 02:27:59.440 --> 02:28:01.840 ever since that thing, because it ran out of print in. 2714 02:28:01.840 --> 02:28:05.879 Like two weeks literally on preorder, I think on preorder. 2715 02:28:06.079 --> 02:28:08.239 Yeah, it came out and if anybody had one, it 2716 02:28:08.280 --> 02:28:11.680 was like grab it and run, which was a real shame. 2717 02:28:12.040 --> 02:28:14.600 That project was something that I pushed for so hard, 2718 02:28:14.639 --> 02:28:16.920 and I was so annoying to the team at Paramount 2719 02:28:17.399 --> 02:28:19.879 because I love that movie a lot, and that's one 2720 02:28:19.879 --> 02:28:22.799 of them that I bring up time and time again 2721 02:28:22.879 --> 02:28:26.239 to people, what's an unsung movie, what's like the Hidden 2722 02:28:26.639 --> 02:28:30.280 Gem and whatever? Always point to that. I held on 2723 02:28:30.319 --> 02:28:35.920 to my original Paramount DVD with that red cover forever 2724 02:28:36.000 --> 02:28:39.120 and ever, assuming nothing would happen with it. And then 2725 02:28:39.120 --> 02:28:41.120 it became a running joke with me and the people 2726 02:28:41.440 --> 02:28:45.719 inside Paramount where we'd have a meeting about Paramount scares 2727 02:28:45.799 --> 02:28:48.280 or about breakdown or whatever else, and I'm like, and 2728 02:28:48.319 --> 02:28:50.079 I can't wait to get going on Bringing Out the 2729 02:28:50.159 --> 02:28:55.719 Dead and they're like, oh, justin, You're such a dick. Eventually, though, 2730 02:28:56.760 --> 02:28:58.920 I think it was with the aid of Killers of 2731 02:28:58.959 --> 02:29:02.760 the Flower Moon happened. Yeah, the door started to open 2732 02:29:02.799 --> 02:29:07.680 around it. And then it became a waiting game for 2733 02:29:07.879 --> 02:29:16.520 Scorsese and Cage because Scorsese it was in he was reshooting, reshooting, reshooting, 2734 02:29:16.600 --> 02:29:20.319 He's back in Oklahoma. He's back in Oklahoma, and we 2735 02:29:20.399 --> 02:29:25.760 had to be patient, and Cage was on board, very enthusiastic. 2736 02:29:25.799 --> 02:29:29.200 He would be doing media events for new movies that 2737 02:29:29.360 --> 02:29:32.520 had landed and he's in the press queue and they're like, 2738 02:29:32.559 --> 02:29:34.799 so what else you got working on? Well, I'm really 2739 02:29:34.840 --> 02:29:38.200 excited that Bringing Out the Dead is finally going to 2740 02:29:38.200 --> 02:29:40.040 get a proper release, And I'm going to be part 2741 02:29:40.079 --> 02:29:43.959 of that, Like he was talking about it on worldwide 2742 02:29:44.079 --> 02:29:48.040 media TV and stuff, so I'm like, but it did 2743 02:29:48.040 --> 02:29:50.559 get to the point, especially with Scorsese in his schedule, 2744 02:29:50.600 --> 02:29:52.639 where it was like, Okay, is this going to happen? 2745 02:29:53.799 --> 02:29:56.719 And I give all the credit in the world to 2746 02:29:56.760 --> 02:29:59.280 the internal team at Paramount, because at any moment they 2747 02:29:59.280 --> 02:30:01.959 could have just pulled the trigger the transfer. I mean, 2748 02:30:02.079 --> 02:30:04.120 they could have put that out bare bones or not 2749 02:30:05.040 --> 02:30:07.760 with at least the previous features that were on that 2750 02:30:07.840 --> 02:30:11.680 DVD from years ago and left it at that. But 2751 02:30:12.600 --> 02:30:19.559 they were so wonderful about being patient and man. And then, 2752 02:30:19.840 --> 02:30:24.520 just like so many other things in entertainment, I get 2753 02:30:24.559 --> 02:30:28.239 the call that or the email that Scorsese's available, and 2754 02:30:28.239 --> 02:30:30.959 it's like, but it's like this Friday, and you have 2755 02:30:31.719 --> 02:30:34.520 one day before he goes on this international media blitz 2756 02:30:34.680 --> 02:30:38.559 for Flour and it has to be in New York City, 2757 02:30:39.040 --> 02:30:41.159 and here's a list of the hotels that are acceptable 2758 02:30:41.200 --> 02:30:43.959 to film that and this Friday, so let us know 2759 02:30:44.000 --> 02:30:44.840 what time you'll be here. 2760 02:30:46.040 --> 02:30:48.559 WHOA, This is like two years of. 2761 02:30:48.559 --> 02:30:51.760 Waiting and emailing and Okay, can't wait, and thank you 2762 02:30:51.799 --> 02:30:53.680 so much for your time. Look forward to hearing from 2763 02:30:53.680 --> 02:30:55.879 you and all that stuff, and then all of a sudden, 2764 02:30:55.920 --> 02:30:59.159 it's like the light's flashing green right in my face. 2765 02:30:59.559 --> 02:31:02.639 And so so again tip of the hat to Paramount 2766 02:31:02.799 --> 02:31:07.719 that that team moves so fast to help put the 2767 02:31:07.719 --> 02:31:12.360 pieces together to get me and the internal gal up 2768 02:31:12.360 --> 02:31:16.200 to New York City. It was like around Christmas time, 2769 02:31:17.799 --> 02:31:21.479 and it was such a whirlwind. It was like a 2770 02:31:21.479 --> 02:31:23.440 couple of days. Oh I contact. I reached out to 2771 02:31:23.479 --> 02:31:27.440 Paul Schrader, who was super excited to talk, which I 2772 02:31:27.479 --> 02:31:31.000 was thrilled about because I don't you know, you never 2773 02:31:31.079 --> 02:31:34.879 know with Paul that he was wonderful on the day 2774 02:31:35.159 --> 02:31:41.399 and very generous with his time to and then we 2775 02:31:41.479 --> 02:31:48.239 found all this unused ePK stuff interviews from the set 2776 02:31:48.280 --> 02:31:51.680 of the film that nobody had done anything with, which 2777 02:31:51.719 --> 02:31:54.440 is an unreal fine. The only other time we encountered 2778 02:31:54.440 --> 02:31:58.280 that was on oh, on Golden Child, which was one 2779 02:31:58.280 --> 02:32:01.520 of my early Paramount titles, which that's the bulk of 2780 02:32:01.520 --> 02:32:04.079 what we had to work with was just this onset 2781 02:32:04.280 --> 02:32:07.200 interview stuff, and I'm like, this is you and I 2782 02:32:07.200 --> 02:32:09.680 couldn't put it all in there, but I really really 2783 02:32:09.719 --> 02:32:13.799 wanted to, just like, let's put these interviews uncut. Eddie 2784 02:32:13.840 --> 02:32:17.079 Murphy is talking about his concept for the movie Raw 2785 02:32:18.319 --> 02:32:22.680 during shooting of Golden Child. It didn't have a name yet, 2786 02:32:22.879 --> 02:32:24.799 but the way he describes it, I have this idea. 2787 02:32:24.920 --> 02:32:28.000 And he's giving all these kudos to Richard Pryor. No 2788 02:32:28.040 --> 02:32:30.159 one can do a stand up comedy movie now that 2789 02:32:30.280 --> 02:32:33.920 Richard mastered the craft. He delivered the ultimate and I 2790 02:32:33.920 --> 02:32:36.120 don't even want to touch it. So my idea is 2791 02:32:36.159 --> 02:32:39.000 something a little bit different. There's going to be characters 2792 02:32:39.040 --> 02:32:42.920 and I don't know, you know whatever. It's amazing you 2793 02:32:42.959 --> 02:32:46.159 see that stuff, to see that, so bringing out the 2794 02:32:46.200 --> 02:32:48.159 dead all of a sudden in front of me is 2795 02:32:48.799 --> 02:32:55.479 Tom Sizemore and Van Raims and John Goodman. I mean, 2796 02:32:55.639 --> 02:32:59.760 the whole cast is right there, Patricia, everybody nice on 2797 02:32:59.799 --> 02:33:01.840 the set of the film with all this behind the 2798 02:33:01.840 --> 02:33:04.200 scenes stuff. And then Bob Richardson, who has always been 2799 02:33:04.200 --> 02:33:06.680 great with me, like I've done a bunch of the 2800 02:33:06.680 --> 02:33:10.159 Oliver Stone movies, and Bob was always down to come 2801 02:33:10.159 --> 02:33:12.159 and talk and we bonded over all love for the 2802 02:33:12.239 --> 02:33:15.239 doors early on, and so he showed up for it 2803 02:33:17.479 --> 02:33:23.440 the best. Though I'm the hugest Nicholas Cage fan and 2804 02:33:23.520 --> 02:33:25.600 never would I think that I would get the chance 2805 02:33:26.600 --> 02:33:30.280 to go hang out with Nicholas Cage. Chris Alexander back 2806 02:33:30.319 --> 02:33:34.239 to him from Fangoria has an incredible that Trump's mind 2807 02:33:34.319 --> 02:33:38.040 by a thousand percent story about Nicholas Cage. Those of 2808 02:33:38.079 --> 02:33:41.440 you who are watching search for Chris Alexander and Nicholas 2809 02:33:41.440 --> 02:33:45.760 Cage and maybe the word island. There's a whole story 2810 02:33:46.319 --> 02:33:50.799 about when Cage reached out to Chris for an interview 2811 02:33:50.840 --> 02:33:54.040 and it might have been on Ghostwriterer Movies or something 2812 02:33:54.280 --> 02:33:57.159 must have been, and he's like, yeah, we can do it, 2813 02:33:57.200 --> 02:34:00.399 but you have to come to my island. I'm not 2814 02:34:00.440 --> 02:34:02.360 going to spoil it for you because it's worth reading 2815 02:34:02.399 --> 02:34:05.120 and it's so much better. My paraphrasing would not do 2816 02:34:05.200 --> 02:34:08.479 it justice. But Chris made it like an overnight flight 2817 02:34:08.600 --> 02:34:13.000 down to get on this little rowboat, like it's shuttled 2818 02:34:13.000 --> 02:34:16.479 out to this island where he's eating snail penises and 2819 02:34:16.479 --> 02:34:19.280 stuff with Nicholas Cage. This is all real and you 2820 02:34:19.360 --> 02:34:23.239 need to check it out. People, So Chris Alexander, Nicholas Cage, 2821 02:34:23.280 --> 02:34:28.959 and Island. Look it up. My story though, going to 2822 02:34:29.040 --> 02:34:38.079 Cage's house in Vegas, which was the best experience interview wise, 2823 02:34:38.159 --> 02:34:41.280 I think I've probably ever had because it was him, 2824 02:34:41.799 --> 02:34:45.239 because it was his house and his environment, I mean, 2825 02:34:45.479 --> 02:34:47.959 And he couldn't have been sweeter the whole time. He 2826 02:34:47.959 --> 02:34:51.959 couldn't have been more grounded, more real. He had made 2827 02:34:51.959 --> 02:34:55.200 notes on his phone to make sure he talked about 2828 02:34:55.200 --> 02:34:58.079 all the stuff that he wanted to talk about. How 2829 02:34:58.079 --> 02:35:00.879 many people that let me the number of people who 2830 02:35:00.879 --> 02:35:03.440 have walked into interviews with me in what like fifteen 2831 02:35:03.520 --> 02:35:10.879 years now or whatever with notes, that's it incredible. He 2832 02:35:10.159 --> 02:35:13.559 kept he had a new baby and he wanted us 2833 02:35:13.600 --> 02:35:18.399 to meet the baby, and kept walking over Like as 2834 02:35:18.399 --> 02:35:20.600 we're setting up, he's hanging out with his kid. He's 2835 02:35:20.639 --> 02:35:25.319 got this grand open plan for his layout of his house, 2836 02:35:25.440 --> 02:35:30.120 this massive fireplace in the middle, a dining table that's 2837 02:35:30.120 --> 02:35:33.719 like the one in Batman when Vicky Vale sitting on 2838 02:35:33.719 --> 02:35:35.879 one end and Bruce is all the way down here 2839 02:35:35.920 --> 02:35:38.079 and they're like, what, I can't you know? It's like 2840 02:35:38.479 --> 02:35:43.120 that's Nick's life. In his dining room, There's an aviary 2841 02:35:43.200 --> 02:35:44.559 in the back of the room with a bunch of 2842 02:35:44.639 --> 02:35:49.319 large birds living in it. There's fish tanks everywhere, horror 2843 02:35:49.399 --> 02:35:53.280 posters all over. In the middle of all this are 2844 02:35:53.360 --> 02:35:57.879 little tikes, climbers and plastic houses for his kids. But 2845 02:35:57.959 --> 02:36:00.959 the thing he was most excited about out of all 2846 02:36:01.000 --> 02:36:03.159 of it was he's like, I got to show you 2847 02:36:03.200 --> 02:36:08.239 my new room that I just finished. Yeah, it's downstairs. 2848 02:36:08.319 --> 02:36:09.879 Did I tell you about this already? No? 2849 02:36:10.079 --> 02:36:12.200 You you wrote a big long write up about it 2850 02:36:12.280 --> 02:36:14.760 on oh, on Facebook or something. Yeah, okay, it's an 2851 02:36:14.760 --> 02:36:19.159 incredible piece. And my remembering this was in Vegas too. 2852 02:36:19.239 --> 02:36:24.120 Vegas, yeah, Last Vegas. Yeah. And he's like, you got 2853 02:36:24.200 --> 02:36:28.040 you got to see my black light room, and I 2854 02:36:28.040 --> 02:36:29.920 forgot that I had posted that. So if this is 2855 02:36:30.000 --> 02:36:34.319 repeat for anybody, apologies. But anyway, under his living room 2856 02:36:34.520 --> 02:36:38.680 there's like this tight metal spiral staircase like in the 2857 02:36:38.719 --> 02:36:42.280 Haunting because of course, although way smaller because of course, 2858 02:36:42.479 --> 02:36:45.239 and it's Last Vegas. And I'm thinking, sure, how many 2859 02:36:45.680 --> 02:36:48.639 gangsters have lived in this gate because he lives in 2860 02:36:48.639 --> 02:36:51.760 a gated area of Vegas, like which you need to 2861 02:36:51.879 --> 02:36:55.440 if you live in Vegas from what I understand. And anyway, 2862 02:36:55.479 --> 02:36:58.520 you go down this little staircase and it's a hallway 2863 02:36:59.760 --> 02:37:02.879 that's covered on all sides except the floor and black 2864 02:37:02.959 --> 02:37:06.040 light posters like what we used to have when we 2865 02:37:06.040 --> 02:37:09.559 were the fuzzy and you get him at fairs or 2866 02:37:09.600 --> 02:37:12.600 whatever and they have like a spencer, Yeah, Spencer's there. 2867 02:37:12.639 --> 02:37:16.719 You go the grim Reaper like holding a snake and 2868 02:37:16.760 --> 02:37:20.600 I don't know ac DC and shit, and but it 2869 02:37:20.639 --> 02:37:22.319 was all this all the way down the hall and 2870 02:37:22.479 --> 02:37:23.959 there's just a little room at the end of it, 2871 02:37:24.040 --> 02:37:26.840 no doors, just a hallway, which I'm sure people have 2872 02:37:26.879 --> 02:37:29.639 probably been murdered, and whoever lived in this house before? 2873 02:37:29.639 --> 02:37:33.319 And then Las Vegas come on, gangsters or whatever, and 2874 02:37:33.360 --> 02:37:37.520 he's like, I hear him, isn't it great? He was 2875 02:37:37.600 --> 02:37:42.680 so proud of his black lights in this underground hallway 2876 02:37:42.920 --> 02:37:47.440 in his house. He was just charming and wonderful and sincere. 2877 02:37:48.319 --> 02:37:51.239 And at the end we were talking about other movies 2878 02:37:51.239 --> 02:37:53.559 that he wishes would get this kind of treatment, and 2879 02:37:53.600 --> 02:37:57.000 we agreed on Peggy Sue Got Married. Yeah, we talked 2880 02:37:57.000 --> 02:38:00.399 about a few other films, but he was from the 2881 02:38:00.440 --> 02:38:04.680 moment I got there and he opened the door. He's 2882 02:38:04.680 --> 02:38:08.760 just a family guy. He is. I mean, there's all there. 2883 02:38:09.079 --> 02:38:12.159 Everyone thinks there's crazy Nekroa's cage, but I can say 2884 02:38:12.360 --> 02:38:15.319 when you see him at home, he loves being around 2885 02:38:15.319 --> 02:38:18.120 his kids and his wife and a man in his 2886 02:38:18.200 --> 02:38:20.200 black lights, was a man in his black lights and 2887 02:38:20.239 --> 02:38:25.000 his aviary full of giant birds and giant dragon sconces 2888 02:38:25.040 --> 02:38:30.120 all over on the floor and Batman table. Awesome. It 2889 02:38:30.239 --> 02:38:32.239 was great. And then when it came out, I was 2890 02:38:32.280 --> 02:38:37.799 so so excited and singing from the mountains about this thing. 2891 02:38:37.799 --> 02:38:39.840 And then it sells out so quickly because that was 2892 02:38:39.879 --> 02:38:43.479 part of the Paramount Presents series, and if you're a recall, 2893 02:38:43.559 --> 02:38:47.319 when that was going, all those were limited, yep. And 2894 02:38:47.399 --> 02:38:49.920 I think that happened on Breakdown too. I think Breakdowns 2895 02:38:49.920 --> 02:38:54.319 sold out pretty quickly as well. Some of the other 2896 02:38:54.360 --> 02:38:56.840 stuff I did, like Blue Hawaii didn't do very well, 2897 02:38:56.879 --> 02:38:58.799 even though I was super excited to work on that 2898 02:39:00.639 --> 02:39:02.159 and a few but for the most part, a lot 2899 02:39:02.200 --> 02:39:07.040 of those titles did very very well. And then it 2900 02:39:07.120 --> 02:39:10.120 just became again like me being annoying about bringing out 2901 02:39:10.159 --> 02:39:12.959 the debt again. Now it's okay, we did it. When 2902 02:39:13.000 --> 02:39:15.120 is it going to hit General Catalog? When's it going 2903 02:39:15.200 --> 02:39:17.840 to get hit General Catalog? And I sent that same 2904 02:39:17.920 --> 02:39:21.639 email today a matter of hours prior to you and 2905 02:39:21.680 --> 02:39:25.799 I connecting to ask once again, is this going to happen? 2906 02:39:26.440 --> 02:39:28.879 And I'll just say never say never, and I certainly 2907 02:39:28.879 --> 02:39:31.959 hope that it happens sooner than later, because there's still 2908 02:39:32.000 --> 02:39:34.239 people asking me about it all the time. Of course, 2909 02:39:34.840 --> 02:39:37.159 And it was the and that was it, that was 2910 02:39:37.200 --> 02:39:40.000 my that was the swan song. That was my final 2911 02:39:40.280 --> 02:39:45.639 project with Paramount, which is crushing but also at the 2912 02:39:45.639 --> 02:39:49.399 same time so perfect because it's the one that I 2913 02:39:49.440 --> 02:39:51.399 was like chasing around and the one that we had 2914 02:39:51.399 --> 02:39:54.000 to be so patient with and the one where I'm 2915 02:39:54.040 --> 02:39:56.360 in the room with. I mean, just all of it, 2916 02:39:56.360 --> 02:39:59.559 the whole, all the stories behind it, all the lead up, 2917 02:39:59.559 --> 02:40:01.440 all the hu above, the rush, the week of the 2918 02:40:01.440 --> 02:40:06.920 shoots in New York, Paul Schrader's showing me is the 2919 02:40:07.040 --> 02:40:12.959 Finger where Scris says he's dog bit him at some party. 2920 02:40:13.079 --> 02:40:17.600 I guess anyway, he had a big bandage on his family, 2921 02:40:17.639 --> 02:40:19.920 Like what happened? He's like, we'll ask him. You know, 2922 02:40:20.760 --> 02:40:24.280 his dog bit me. He told you. 2923 02:40:24.200 --> 02:40:25.639 It was a bier And. 2924 02:40:27.120 --> 02:40:29.879 But anyway, uh, for that to be it, I hope 2925 02:40:29.879 --> 02:40:32.959 it comes back someday, if some miracle happens and sky 2926 02:40:33.040 --> 02:40:36.000 Dance loses ownership of Paramount and decides to invest in 2927 02:40:36.040 --> 02:40:40.799 physical media again. But I'll always I mean, what better 2928 02:40:40.840 --> 02:40:43.120 way to write off in the sunset, you know. And 2929 02:40:43.200 --> 02:40:46.879 really it was the same with Shout and Hush Hush, 2930 02:40:47.000 --> 02:40:50.040 I think was it was certainly the last production for me. 2931 02:40:50.840 --> 02:40:51.120 Wow. 2932 02:40:51.440 --> 02:40:55.239 With Shout, I was also working on Born in the 2933 02:40:55.280 --> 02:41:00.239 fourth of July, Yeah, and JFK at the same time. 2934 02:41:00.239 --> 02:41:01.719 Maybe Born in the fourth July I might have been 2935 02:41:01.719 --> 02:41:04.600 a little bit earlier, or I might be flip flopping those, 2936 02:41:04.680 --> 02:41:08.639 but I think Hush was the last actual release with 2937 02:41:08.799 --> 02:41:15.959 them too, And that experience with Mike is unforgettable and. 2938 02:41:16.159 --> 02:41:17.600 Pretty robust thing to end on. 2939 02:41:18.040 --> 02:41:20.879 It really is in both cases, I mean, a happy accident. 2940 02:41:20.879 --> 02:41:23.840 If something had to come to a conclusion, I'm glad 2941 02:41:23.879 --> 02:41:25.959 it did in those ways and with those films. 2942 02:41:27.360 --> 02:41:30.600 Yeah. I mean, the companies that you've worked for throughout 2943 02:41:30.600 --> 02:41:33.959 the years are kind of crazy to run down the list. 2944 02:41:33.959 --> 02:41:35.440 I mean, first of all, a lot of people that 2945 02:41:35.600 --> 02:41:38.600 do this don't ever get a chance to be not 2946 02:41:38.639 --> 02:41:42.479 even like touching studio things, but to be so close 2947 02:41:42.520 --> 02:41:45.200 with studio things, and for you to be, you know, 2948 02:41:45.520 --> 02:41:48.040 deep inside paramount has got to be such a cool thing. 2949 02:41:48.040 --> 02:41:51.200 I mean, you were mentioning the archive. Literally everybody as 2950 02:41:51.200 --> 02:41:55.239 a Paramount deal always mentions this because most studios will 2951 02:41:55.239 --> 02:41:57.239 say no, we don't have anything and that's it. 2952 02:41:57.479 --> 02:41:59.360 Sorry, And a lot of them don't. A lot of 2953 02:41:59.399 --> 02:42:02.680 them don't make that. Yeah. 2954 02:42:02.719 --> 02:42:06.000 With Paramount, it's literally, oh we might, and we will 2955 02:42:06.000 --> 02:42:08.520 send people down there and literally uncover as much as 2956 02:42:08.520 --> 02:42:11.280 we can, and most of the time they have something. 2957 02:42:11.319 --> 02:42:13.280 Their archive is incredible. 2958 02:42:13.719 --> 02:42:21.760 It I in the years that I've been talking about 2959 02:42:21.799 --> 02:42:25.360 this stuff, the stories that always rise to the top 2960 02:42:25.799 --> 02:42:29.440 are somehow, I mean, there are many, but some of 2961 02:42:29.440 --> 02:42:33.799 the greatest rewards for me are relating to fines and 2962 02:42:33.879 --> 02:42:37.239 discoveries with that team and things that I was allowed 2963 02:42:37.280 --> 02:42:39.639 to do that I really probably didn't have the right 2964 02:42:39.680 --> 02:42:45.200 to do. Like on The Last Castle. Did we talk 2965 02:42:45.239 --> 02:42:46.159 about that last time? 2966 02:42:46.319 --> 02:42:49.879 I don't think so. I think we did before we recorded, 2967 02:42:49.879 --> 02:42:51.639 but I don't think we went deep into it during. 2968 02:42:51.680 --> 02:42:54.680 Okay, So The Last Castle, for those who aren't aware, 2969 02:42:54.760 --> 02:42:58.280 is an amazing movie and is absolutely one to track down. 2970 02:42:58.440 --> 02:43:05.680 Robert Redford, James Gandalf Mark Ruffalo. It is so stacked. 2971 02:43:05.719 --> 02:43:08.559 It's a real powerhouse film. But it suffered a really 2972 02:43:08.680 --> 02:43:12.879 unfortunate fate that when they were in post on this movie, 2973 02:43:12.959 --> 02:43:17.319 they had released teaser posters and trailers maybe a trailer, 2974 02:43:17.399 --> 02:43:20.719 but definitely ads and posters. The movie is about a 2975 02:43:20.760 --> 02:43:24.440 military prison being overthrown by the inmates, led by Robert Redford, 2976 02:43:24.479 --> 02:43:28.920 who's put in there, and the poster was like two 2977 02:43:29.079 --> 02:43:34.239 military prison towers on fire with a tattered flag in 2978 02:43:34.280 --> 02:43:39.440 the foreground. And then nine to eleven happened. Yeah, and 2979 02:43:39.479 --> 02:43:42.000 so they had to recall the whole ad campaign. They 2980 02:43:42.040 --> 02:43:44.760 sent out apologies. I still have I tracked down on 2981 02:43:44.799 --> 02:43:47.399 eBay some of the materials that were sent out to 2982 02:43:47.520 --> 02:43:52.440 different newspapers and theaters like we're so sorry, poll which 2983 02:43:52.479 --> 02:43:56.520 you have used this stuff instead. And so as a result, 2984 02:43:56.559 --> 02:43:59.399 the movie just came and went. It just absolutely disappeared. 2985 02:43:59.840 --> 02:44:03.200 It's a real powerhouse film and that was so much 2986 02:44:03.239 --> 02:44:05.639 fun to be part of. But one of the stories, 2987 02:44:05.639 --> 02:44:09.639 similar to with Breakdown, the director when he was talking 2988 02:44:09.680 --> 02:44:12.879 to me about the impact that nine to eleven had 2989 02:44:12.920 --> 02:44:15.280 on the film, and it's not just its release but 2990 02:44:15.319 --> 02:44:18.559 the film as a whole. Originally that film and they 2991 02:44:18.600 --> 02:44:21.840 shot it was meant to end spoiler, Can I give 2992 02:44:21.879 --> 02:44:25.920 a spoiler here where people are seeing Okay, the film, 2993 02:44:26.280 --> 02:44:28.680 Redford's character passes away and it was to end with 2994 02:44:28.760 --> 02:44:34.200 his military funeral, and they and at the end of it, 2995 02:44:34.239 --> 02:44:38.399 in this very symbolic gesture, the flag from his coffin 2996 02:44:38.479 --> 02:44:41.000 is folded up and then handed to his daughter, which 2997 02:44:41.040 --> 02:44:43.239 is a certain moment of closure that if you watch 2998 02:44:43.280 --> 02:44:47.000 the film, you know their complicated relationship is very much 2999 02:44:47.040 --> 02:44:49.079 at the heart of a lot of the movie, and 3000 02:44:49.159 --> 02:44:52.200 so it's a moment that really matters. It really did. 3001 02:44:52.239 --> 02:44:59.000 But I understand their desire to not have something like 3002 02:44:59.079 --> 02:45:01.760 that at the end of movie at that time. I 3003 02:45:01.879 --> 02:45:04.920 very much respect that, of course, But when I was 3004 02:45:04.959 --> 02:45:08.760 talking about it with him, he mentioned that he's like, 3005 02:45:08.799 --> 02:45:12.520 I've never even seen the footage. I don't know what 3006 02:45:12.680 --> 02:45:16.559 happened to it. But I don't know. And so I 3007 02:45:16.600 --> 02:45:18.559 went to the archive team and I'm like, if I 3008 02:45:18.600 --> 02:45:22.040 could just get some stills, if I can get anything, 3009 02:45:22.079 --> 02:45:26.200 if we have any scraps of that day, And they 3010 02:45:26.239 --> 02:45:30.879 came back, to my astonishment and said, not only do 3011 02:45:31.000 --> 02:45:34.920 we have it, we have everything on the day. It 3012 02:45:34.959 --> 02:45:39.719 had never been assembled. But it's like take one, take two, 3013 02:45:39.959 --> 02:45:43.239 take three, take one, take for the whole thing. Like 3014 02:45:43.280 --> 02:45:46.040 you're seeing the trumpeters, you're seeing the hands over the casket, 3015 02:45:46.079 --> 02:45:49.639 folding the flag. It's all there, and the scratch audio 3016 02:45:49.760 --> 02:45:51.840 is all there too that they had on the day. 3017 02:45:52.879 --> 02:45:55.879 I only say scratch because it wasn't processed and cleaned 3018 02:45:55.920 --> 02:46:00.360 and all that and perfect. Okay, so I can at 3019 02:46:00.440 --> 02:46:04.360 least cut this into the piece right. And then one day, 3020 02:46:04.799 --> 02:46:07.600 as I was waiting for something else, I don't know 3021 02:46:07.639 --> 02:46:09.840 that took time, I had some downtime and I thought, 3022 02:46:09.920 --> 02:46:13.159 let me just monkey around with this, and I start 3023 02:46:13.799 --> 02:46:17.799 choosing shots and putting together this scene to see what 3024 02:46:17.840 --> 02:46:23.280 it would be like to have this assembled in its 3025 02:46:23.440 --> 02:46:25.639 primitive form. I mean, this was pretty early in my 3026 02:46:25.840 --> 02:46:30.639 editing days too. I'm an eternal student in that regard, 3027 02:46:30.639 --> 02:46:32.520 and I have a million miles to go to get 3028 02:46:32.520 --> 02:46:35.040 anywhere near to like the Felchers and these guys that 3029 02:46:35.079 --> 02:46:38.360 are out there. But I'm trying doing my best. But 3030 02:46:38.440 --> 02:46:40.680 on this day I decided to cut the end for 3031 02:46:40.959 --> 02:46:43.200 the last Castle. And then I sent it into my 3032 02:46:45.719 --> 02:46:48.760 then executive at Paramount and I said, hey, here's what 3033 02:46:48.799 --> 02:46:50.639 it would look like. But I'm going to choose a 3034 02:46:50.639 --> 02:46:53.120 few bits and pieces. And he came back and he's like, no, no, no, 3035 02:46:53.159 --> 02:46:58.159 hold on, let me send it to legal. What long 3036 02:46:58.200 --> 02:47:02.600 story long? Again, it gets cleared and it's on the disc. 3037 02:47:03.799 --> 02:47:08.040 So the alternate ending that's on that disc, which I 3038 02:47:08.079 --> 02:47:10.600 think is now up to four K, maybe by Keno 3039 02:47:10.760 --> 02:47:12.639 or someone else has picked it up. It's lived on, 3040 02:47:12.760 --> 02:47:15.959 it's continued to live on, which is so exciting. That 3041 02:47:16.520 --> 02:47:19.239 edit is by me, and I had no right to 3042 02:47:19.280 --> 02:47:22.280 be doing it, but what an amazing thing to cut 3043 02:47:22.639 --> 02:47:25.639 scene in a Robert Redford movie. I probably shouldn't have 3044 02:47:25.680 --> 02:47:28.920 been and for them, but for them to support me 3045 02:47:28.959 --> 02:47:30.760 in it, you know, for them to be like, yeah, 3046 02:47:30.760 --> 02:47:32.360 you know what, this is cool instead of what have 3047 02:47:32.440 --> 02:47:35.200 you done? Which is totally what I expected to get back. 3048 02:47:36.200 --> 02:47:38.559 All goes back to the archive team. Though they could 3049 02:47:38.600 --> 02:47:40.440 have easily just said because I don't think that stuff 3050 02:47:40.479 --> 02:47:43.319 wasn't on their inventory sheet. They could have easily just 3051 02:47:43.319 --> 02:47:47.079 said nope, But they went and they found every bit 3052 02:47:47.120 --> 02:47:49.360 of it and sent every bit of it to me. 3053 02:47:49.440 --> 02:47:52.319 They could have just sent me clips, that's true. They 3054 02:47:52.319 --> 02:47:54.559 could have done a million things, but instead they just 3055 02:47:54.760 --> 02:47:57.120 gave me the whole thing and it was so awesome. 3056 02:47:57.639 --> 02:48:00.000 So yeah, that's so cool. 3057 02:48:01.159 --> 02:48:03.719 I don't know if you're privy to this information. Jake 3058 02:48:03.840 --> 02:48:05.360 is asking, do you know how many copies of the 3059 02:48:05.360 --> 02:48:09.920 Paramount Present's line gets pressed? I found from someone else. 3060 02:48:09.959 --> 02:48:11.719 I think they had said that it was six thousand 3061 02:48:11.920 --> 02:48:13.239 of every Pairmount Presents. 3062 02:48:13.440 --> 02:48:16.719 That sounds right, That sounds correct, I think, And they 3063 02:48:16.760 --> 02:48:19.159 may have even done a few additional on that one. 3064 02:48:19.360 --> 02:48:21.959 I want to say, I can't remember, but I think 3065 02:48:22.000 --> 02:48:26.280 six is correct. Yeah, I'd have to confirm. I can't 3066 02:48:26.399 --> 02:48:29.520 remember exactly. For some of those times there is more 3067 02:48:29.840 --> 02:48:33.520 so low. It's it's rough, it was a new thing. 3068 02:48:33.920 --> 02:48:35.840 You got to keep in mind, this is a studio 3069 02:48:36.079 --> 02:48:40.120 that has skimped on releases historically. Think about all those 3070 02:48:40.479 --> 02:48:45.000 Paramount DVDs back in the day. There was a uniformity 3071 02:48:45.000 --> 02:48:48.440 to how they looked with some people appreciated that box 3072 02:48:48.520 --> 02:48:52.479 on the back at the top special features, animated menus 3073 02:48:52.600 --> 02:48:56.239 which we all love, but they were never famous for 3074 02:48:56.280 --> 02:49:00.399 their special features. And for these guys to come in, 3075 02:49:00.520 --> 02:49:03.600 this crew who I got the good fortune to work 3076 02:49:03.639 --> 02:49:07.399 with and push for a Paramount Presents line, let alone, 3077 02:49:07.440 --> 02:49:11.719 Paramount scares right. And however, whatever degrees of success that 3078 02:49:11.840 --> 02:49:16.319 has or will have, I mean, it's really a feat 3079 02:49:16.559 --> 02:49:20.159 if you consider that it's with this historic studio who 3080 02:49:20.239 --> 02:49:23.000 really hasn't paid a whole lot of love to their 3081 02:49:23.000 --> 02:49:26.040 movies on home video. So I think Paramount Presents was 3082 02:49:26.120 --> 02:49:30.600 an experiment that went very well in some cases, not 3083 02:49:30.840 --> 02:49:34.239 very well in some others, like any catalog, but it 3084 02:49:34.280 --> 02:49:37.280 was a special moment for them. And if these Skuydance 3085 02:49:37.319 --> 02:49:41.000 people are going to come in and I don't know 3086 02:49:41.000 --> 02:49:42.879 what they're going to do or what their plan is, 3087 02:49:43.079 --> 02:49:45.040 but I do know that it just this kind of 3088 02:49:45.040 --> 02:49:47.319 stuff doesn't seem to be a real big focus right now. 3089 02:49:47.520 --> 02:49:50.760 And if, just like I'm saying with bringing Out the Dead, 3090 02:49:50.799 --> 02:49:54.799 for me personally, if the Paramount Presents line was the 3091 02:49:55.000 --> 02:50:02.239 sort of sign off for in house curated releases with 3092 02:50:02.399 --> 02:50:06.000 new content, they did a hell of a job on it. 3093 02:50:06.440 --> 02:50:08.600 Well, and they did a lot for the in a 3094 02:50:09.159 --> 02:50:11.520 fairly short period of time. I mean, pre twenty twenty 3095 02:50:11.559 --> 02:50:14.920 Paaramount was out of the game. There was not anything happening. 3096 02:50:15.159 --> 02:50:17.600 And really, like Imprint in Australia is one of the 3097 02:50:17.639 --> 02:50:21.120 big greasing of the wheels that happened here. It was, yeah, 3098 02:50:21.159 --> 02:50:23.159 there's a lot of demand for these things, and so 3099 02:50:23.559 --> 02:50:26.239 Imprint got those down there, and now in the US 3100 02:50:26.280 --> 02:50:30.360 they exploded and very quickly got that catalog. I think 3101 02:50:30.399 --> 02:50:33.000 they ended up like with thirty five forty something. 3102 02:50:33.000 --> 02:50:35.440 And they're so nice. You got that open cover with 3103 02:50:35.479 --> 02:50:40.159 the original poster art in there, the slip sleeve. A 3104 02:50:40.200 --> 02:50:41.920 lot of love was put into all of those by 3105 02:50:41.959 --> 02:50:43.319 the whole team in the air, and it was the 3106 02:50:43.360 --> 02:50:46.920 same with the Scare stuff, and I hope that that continues. 3107 02:50:47.000 --> 02:50:48.879 I hope that it would be great to see a 3108 02:50:48.879 --> 02:50:52.000 whole line evolve from that. But with the state of 3109 02:50:52.040 --> 02:50:54.600 things there now, I frankly have no clue what the 3110 02:50:54.639 --> 02:50:56.799 future holds for any of that stuff. But we got 3111 02:50:56.840 --> 02:50:59.440 it while we did Yeah, we got it while we did. 3112 02:50:59.719 --> 02:51:02.360 Well, and it's not the same, but the branding continues 3113 02:51:02.360 --> 02:51:04.639 to live on. We know Terror Vision has more of 3114 02:51:04.680 --> 02:51:09.079 the VHS coming with the Paramount Scars branding, so hopefully 3115 02:51:09.159 --> 02:51:11.239 that that can stay resurrected for some time. 3116 02:51:11.280 --> 02:51:12.239 We'll see, Yeah, I hope. 3117 02:51:12.280 --> 02:51:16.760 So trying to keep you less than about three hours, 3118 02:51:16.799 --> 02:51:18.639 We got about seven and a half minutes left if 3119 02:51:18.639 --> 02:51:22.200 I'm sticking to that sort of lightning round as quick 3120 02:51:22.239 --> 02:51:25.000 as you can for some of these what what do 3121 02:51:25.040 --> 02:51:28.280 you feel like is the special feature that you look 3122 02:51:28.360 --> 02:51:32.079 back on and feel like, this is my like fully realized. 3123 02:51:32.360 --> 02:51:35.120 If I'm summing up everything that I've done on special features, 3124 02:51:35.479 --> 02:51:36.799 this is the one that I present to. 3125 02:51:36.760 --> 02:51:44.680 Somebody Silent Night, Dowa of the Night Part two. Really 3126 02:51:44.719 --> 02:51:48.639 it's a good pick, really because that was a and 3127 02:51:48.680 --> 02:51:50.840 I know you're saying lightning round, but that was a 3128 02:51:50.879 --> 02:51:53.120 film that had been so maligned for so long, had 3129 02:51:53.120 --> 02:51:55.360 been reduced to a punchline. 3130 02:51:54.680 --> 02:51:55.159 And a meme. 3131 02:51:56.479 --> 02:52:00.120 And what I found with Lee Harry the director or 3132 02:52:01.360 --> 02:52:07.000 Eric Freeman, with the assistance of Justin Powell Pizzow he 3133 02:52:07.079 --> 02:52:09.799 calls himself on YouTube and stuff, but he helped connect 3134 02:52:09.799 --> 02:52:15.719 me with Eric, and that again back to the sincerity 3135 02:52:15.760 --> 02:52:18.040 thing that I keep talking about. So much time and 3136 02:52:18.120 --> 02:52:20.360 love went into making that movie something more than what 3137 02:52:20.440 --> 02:52:24.680 the assignment was, and it was a tremendous opportunity for 3138 02:52:24.719 --> 02:52:29.440 me to help the world see Lee Harry as a filmmaker, 3139 02:52:30.120 --> 02:52:33.239 to see Eric Freeman for who he is instead of 3140 02:52:33.280 --> 02:52:39.479 just garbage day. And Lee dug up footage from when 3141 02:52:39.479 --> 02:52:41.600 he was a little kid making movies in his backyard 3142 02:52:41.600 --> 02:52:43.920 and it matched exactly to what he had told me 3143 02:52:43.959 --> 02:52:46.600 in the interview and when I asked him about it. 3144 02:52:46.600 --> 02:52:49.639 While I'm sitting there editing with my editor Mike Saunders 3145 02:52:49.680 --> 02:52:54.000 from Prescribe Films at the time, and I'm like texting like, Lee, 3146 02:52:54.040 --> 02:52:56.520 does this stuff exist? And he's like, well, somewhere maybe, 3147 02:52:57.159 --> 02:52:59.760 and then it starts showing up in my inbox and 3148 02:53:00.200 --> 02:53:03.280 matches note for note for exactly how he was describing 3149 02:53:03.360 --> 02:53:05.559 being a filmmaker in his backyard with his friends and 3150 02:53:05.600 --> 02:53:08.040 family and he was little. And it just feels to 3151 02:53:08.079 --> 02:53:10.479 me like a way to sort of justify that. But 3152 02:53:10.559 --> 02:53:13.479 also one that I know I've received criticism for it 3153 02:53:13.959 --> 02:53:18.200 is big Trouble in Little China, because on that one, 3154 02:53:19.079 --> 02:53:21.760 I had no I always say I had no breaks, 3155 02:53:22.440 --> 02:53:25.920 right because I discovered that everyone who wasn't Kurt Russell 3156 02:53:26.040 --> 02:53:29.559 was basically ignored on all the video releases historically. And 3157 02:53:29.600 --> 02:53:32.600 then as I think you and I talked about this before, 3158 02:53:32.680 --> 02:53:36.520 so forgive the repetition, but the chance to talk with Carter, 3159 02:53:36.639 --> 02:53:41.360 Wong and you name it. Man, all those guys are 3160 02:53:42.079 --> 02:53:44.719 icons in their field, and they took the time to 3161 02:53:44.760 --> 02:53:47.159 come in and talk, and I wanted to present those 3162 02:53:47.200 --> 02:53:50.600 conversations in as full as possible because it's, like I 3163 02:53:50.600 --> 02:53:52.639 think it still is the only time many of them 3164 02:53:52.639 --> 02:53:55.600 have been interviewed for something like that, And I received 3165 02:53:55.600 --> 02:53:58.200 a lot of flak from people for lack of cuts 3166 02:53:58.319 --> 02:54:01.920 and whatever, but it's like no, I wanted. This is 3167 02:54:02.559 --> 02:54:06.639 so much more in my mind for them and their 3168 02:54:06.719 --> 02:54:11.639 story and Drew Strews and who we just lost same 3169 02:54:11.680 --> 02:54:16.079 thing where Drew is so sweet. I should have been 3170 02:54:16.079 --> 02:54:19.040 more prepared here. He sent me after the interview with him. 3171 02:54:19.079 --> 02:54:23.120 For that, he sent me a charcoal drawing of a 3172 02:54:23.559 --> 02:54:26.879 of a panther and signed it Drew Strews in which 3173 02:54:26.920 --> 02:54:29.120 I think he usually just signed strews in on stuff. 3174 02:54:29.159 --> 02:54:31.719 And then he sent me this other thing. Damn, I 3175 02:54:31.719 --> 02:54:35.920 should have brought it here. It's this quote from Thureau 3176 02:54:37.319 --> 02:54:39.440 about if we could only look into each other's eyes 3177 02:54:39.479 --> 02:54:43.319 one more time. I'm not going to paraphrase this and 3178 02:54:43.399 --> 02:54:45.360 ruin it, but it's like the sweetest thing. And so 3179 02:54:45.440 --> 02:54:48.680 I have them hung wow like that side by side. 3180 02:54:48.879 --> 02:54:52.719 Who does that? I haven't incredible? The only no one 3181 02:54:52.760 --> 02:54:56.239 reaches out after interviews usually and says anything, but oh, 3182 02:54:56.319 --> 02:55:02.040 Carter Wong sent me a framed a gold framed picture, 3183 02:55:02.079 --> 02:55:06.079 not real gold, like a gold color. I didn't it 3184 02:55:07.280 --> 02:55:11.719 a picture of him in a temple with a thank 3185 02:55:11.760 --> 02:55:13.920 you on it and it says good luck on it 3186 02:55:14.319 --> 02:55:17.920 like that's that happened on the same project, on Big Trouble, 3187 02:55:18.079 --> 02:55:19.840 And so I'll take all the shit I can get 3188 02:55:19.959 --> 02:55:22.440 from people who are complaining about my lack of edits 3189 02:55:22.479 --> 02:55:26.120 on that. My job was to tell these to get 3190 02:55:26.120 --> 02:55:28.559 these people's stories out there, and I wanted it to 3191 02:55:28.600 --> 02:55:31.600 be as thorough as I could. And yeah, so I'm 3192 02:55:31.600 --> 02:55:33.440 honored to have been part of any of that, let 3193 02:55:33.479 --> 02:55:35.479 alone have when these guys say such nice things. 3194 02:55:35.520 --> 02:55:38.680 But well, and now, how fortunate We're probably not going 3195 02:55:38.760 --> 02:55:40.719 to get another release of that because now it's under 3196 02:55:40.760 --> 02:55:44.520 the Disney catalog. So that's probably the last word on it. 3197 02:55:44.840 --> 02:55:49.879 Yeah, think about that. Yeah, well, it was those two 3198 02:55:50.159 --> 02:55:51.920 are the two that I probably talk about the most. 3199 02:55:52.000 --> 02:55:53.760 And then bringing out the Dead, of course, is like 3200 02:55:53.879 --> 02:55:57.319 the perfect audios. 3201 02:55:57.799 --> 02:56:01.319 One that we didn't talk about last time is I've 3202 02:56:01.360 --> 02:56:03.399 had people ask me how I'm doing it. But the 3203 02:56:03.440 --> 02:56:05.360 big question is for somebody like you, how do you? 3204 02:56:05.559 --> 02:56:07.920 How do you do all this from Iowa? How are 3205 02:56:07.959 --> 02:56:11.280 you somebody that lives in Iowa and is working on 3206 02:56:11.360 --> 02:56:14.360 these major projects for people that are nowhere near Iowa. 3207 02:56:14.559 --> 02:56:19.360 Ever, Well, having incredible people around me is the answer 3208 02:56:19.440 --> 02:56:25.200 to that. I have the my cinematographers in la I 3209 02:56:25.719 --> 02:56:30.479 like all over the world in pockets. Yeah, I have 3210 02:56:31.079 --> 02:56:36.319 these amazing dps who I work with, and oftentimes I'm 3211 02:56:36.799 --> 02:56:41.280 asking someone for a referral. Like Anthony Ferrante has been 3212 02:56:41.319 --> 02:56:43.520 great in a number of cases because he's shot kind 3213 02:56:43.520 --> 02:56:46.479 of everywhere, so he knows people all over the place. Hey, 3214 02:56:46.520 --> 02:56:49.040 do you have someone in blank? And that's kind of 3215 02:56:49.079 --> 02:56:50.559 something a lot of us in this side of the 3216 02:56:50.559 --> 02:56:53.239 business do anyway, because there aren't that many of us 3217 02:56:53.280 --> 02:56:55.719 out there playing this game. So for the most part, 3218 02:56:55.760 --> 02:56:58.319 it seems like at least the people close to me, 3219 02:56:58.360 --> 02:57:01.840 we're all very happy to share content and references and whatever. 3220 02:57:02.520 --> 02:57:03.840 But it's. 3221 02:57:05.719 --> 02:57:11.399 A combination of being able to conduct interviews remotely from 3222 02:57:11.479 --> 02:57:14.760 here with a camera person in the room with the 3223 02:57:15.440 --> 02:57:18.799 other party, or depending on how deep I am and 3224 02:57:18.879 --> 02:57:23.440 all these projects, the cinematographers might handle the interview in 3225 02:57:23.479 --> 02:57:27.760 person with what I've sent them. I try to be 3226 02:57:27.879 --> 02:57:29.920 there in person as often as I can. In fact, 3227 02:57:29.959 --> 02:57:32.520 tomorrow morning or tomorrow afternoon, I'm flying out to LA 3228 02:57:33.280 --> 02:57:35.280 and I'll be out there for a week shooting stuff. 3229 02:57:36.840 --> 02:57:41.000 But COVID helped level that field a little bit because 3230 02:57:41.040 --> 02:57:44.000 it made it acceptable to have someone on a screen 3231 02:57:44.079 --> 02:57:46.639 talking to you instead of having to be in the room, 3232 02:57:47.319 --> 02:57:50.200 and so I'm very grateful for that. And the technology 3233 02:57:50.239 --> 02:57:55.159 has evolved a lot since COVID too, Like zoom resolution 3234 02:57:55.280 --> 02:57:58.120 is such trash and it maxes out at like seven 3235 02:57:58.200 --> 02:58:00.600 twenty or maybe even for eight. I don't know, I'm 3236 02:58:00.600 --> 02:58:03.639 seven to twenty. I always it was such a miserable 3237 02:58:03.639 --> 02:58:05.879 thing to have to struggle with during COVID, and then 3238 02:58:06.280 --> 02:58:09.200 come services like riverside or I can get four K 3239 02:58:09.319 --> 02:58:12.440 and whatever else. So you can also get some pretty 3240 02:58:12.440 --> 02:58:16.079 solid remote stuff shot now too, with people in other 3241 02:58:16.159 --> 02:58:19.200 countries or somewhere where I don't have a crew or 3242 02:58:19.280 --> 02:58:22.040 can't find someone, And a lot of times people pop 3243 02:58:22.120 --> 02:58:25.479 up at the last minute, Oh I'm available now, and 3244 02:58:25.520 --> 02:58:28.360 we can do that now. So back to my point, 3245 02:58:28.399 --> 02:58:35.280 I mean, it's like it's varying degrees of means to 3246 02:58:35.319 --> 02:58:36.760 be able to do it, and to me, it's all 3247 02:58:36.799 --> 02:58:44.360 about gathering those stories. But true, I mean I would 3248 02:58:44.360 --> 02:58:46.120 start rattling off names, but I don't want to make 3249 02:58:46.120 --> 02:58:48.680 anyone feel like they're left out in doing that because 3250 02:58:48.920 --> 02:58:54.840 everybody is so vital to this effort. And so I mean, 3251 02:58:54.920 --> 02:58:59.200 ultimately the company is it's me here in Iowa, yes, 3252 02:58:59.280 --> 02:59:03.680 as you said, but it's not it's this family of 3253 02:59:04.680 --> 02:59:08.159 impossibly awesome creative people that are around me and supporting 3254 02:59:08.159 --> 02:59:12.639 me and my friends, Like I mentioned Lynn who doesn't 3255 02:59:12.680 --> 02:59:15.280 work for my company. Linn Omiker, who I mentioned at 3256 02:59:15.319 --> 02:59:17.559 the very beginning of this, but is always helping me 3257 02:59:17.600 --> 02:59:21.479 with stuff layouts and graphic things. He's a computer guy 3258 02:59:21.520 --> 02:59:26.000 who knows so much. I could just run down a list, 3259 02:59:26.239 --> 02:59:34.920 but I'm a part of it. But it's this family. 3260 02:59:35.159 --> 02:59:35.840 It's a family. 3261 02:59:36.680 --> 02:59:41.239 So much of this is literally just networks of people 3262 02:59:41.360 --> 02:59:44.799 and building the relationships and trust and being able to say, oh, 3263 02:59:44.840 --> 02:59:46.920 I need this person on this day. I know that 3264 02:59:46.959 --> 02:59:49.200 I can trust these four people and be able to 3265 02:59:49.200 --> 02:59:51.520 reach out to them at any point. It's kind of 3266 02:59:51.559 --> 02:59:54.360 incredible to see how many people touch a single one 3267 02:59:54.399 --> 02:59:57.479 of these projects, let alone like an entire company's line up. 3268 02:59:57.719 --> 03:00:00.840 Oh it's absolutely and I love when someone reaches out. 3269 03:00:00.840 --> 03:00:03.079 It just happened today someone hey, do you have anybody 3270 03:00:03.120 --> 03:00:06.239 in blank? And I'm yeah, I do. Here's their names. 3271 03:00:06.360 --> 03:00:08.680 And it was New York City, so it takes me 3272 03:00:08.760 --> 03:00:11.959 back to shooting with Scorsese and all that up there. 3273 03:00:11.959 --> 03:00:13.639 But I'm like, yeah, absolutely, I got a great guy 3274 03:00:13.719 --> 03:00:18.600 up there, and it spread the love. We're all fighting 3275 03:00:18.600 --> 03:00:23.799 the same fight, and it takes it. Anybody who claims 3276 03:00:23.840 --> 03:00:27.280 this is a one person thing, I don't know how 3277 03:00:27.319 --> 03:00:33.040 they would do that, first of all, but I have 3278 03:00:33.120 --> 03:00:37.280 to just I've been the knee to reference Game of 3279 03:00:37.319 --> 03:00:39.600 Thrones to the people around me in this thing and 3280 03:00:39.680 --> 03:00:44.600 who have supported me through the years, and just so 3281 03:00:44.760 --> 03:00:47.399 indebted to them. 3282 03:00:47.680 --> 03:00:50.360 Since twenty twenty, a title that's come out that you 3283 03:00:51.040 --> 03:00:55.040 are wishing that Reverend would have been on instead of 3284 03:00:55.079 --> 03:00:59.200 whoever did it? 3285 03:00:59.239 --> 03:00:59.959 Since twenty two. 3286 03:01:00.760 --> 03:01:03.760 Yeah, it's that's the time when you know, everybody was 3287 03:01:03.760 --> 03:01:06.719 getting stimulus checks and everything exploded. And it seems like 3288 03:01:07.799 --> 03:01:10.520 since that time, we've had more companies start, we've had 3289 03:01:10.600 --> 03:01:13.479 more releases. I mean, we're at the point now where 3290 03:01:13.680 --> 03:01:15.799 it will we'll get three weeks in a row where 3291 03:01:15.799 --> 03:01:19.159 there's more than one hundred announcements. It's kind of insane. 3292 03:01:20.360 --> 03:01:24.479 I don't know about the twenty twenty thing. A few 3293 03:01:24.520 --> 03:01:27.159 that I wish Night of the Demons for Shout Factory, 3294 03:01:27.200 --> 03:01:28.799 I wish I would have been on those. I did 3295 03:01:28.840 --> 03:01:31.680 it an exhaustive. That's what got me the gig at 3296 03:01:31.680 --> 03:01:36.000 Fango was this bloated Night of the Demons retrospective. I 3297 03:01:36.079 --> 03:01:38.799 wrote and sent to Chris, I'm like, can I write 3298 03:01:39.239 --> 03:01:44.319 I hear you're heading in his editor? Yeah, and still anyway, 3299 03:01:44.840 --> 03:01:47.079 Night of the Demons. I loved those movies so much, 3300 03:01:47.280 --> 03:01:51.079 and so I would have I already had all the contacts, 3301 03:01:52.440 --> 03:01:55.360 and when I heard that it was being released, I'm like, oh, okay, guys, 3302 03:01:55.399 --> 03:01:59.159 and they're like, oh, it's already done. I'm like, oh, man, 3303 03:01:59.680 --> 03:02:04.280 So that that was one I wish the Halloween box set. 3304 03:02:04.760 --> 03:02:07.639 We're not talking twenty twenty. I did work on that 3305 03:02:07.760 --> 03:02:14.520 four K set. I worked on Resurrection on that one, 3306 03:02:15.159 --> 03:02:19.120 but I wish I could have done that whole box set. Yeah, 3307 03:02:19.360 --> 03:02:24.959 there was a time when that was discussed, and that's 3308 03:02:24.959 --> 03:02:33.639 a great regret. But you brought up what was the 3309 03:02:33.680 --> 03:02:35.680 one you brought up? When you were going through that list? 3310 03:02:35.760 --> 03:02:37.159 You were like, and I was like, oh, man, I 3311 03:02:37.200 --> 03:02:40.280 wish I could have worked on that. You just brought 3312 03:02:40.280 --> 03:02:43.000 one up a little bit ago. I mean, it's always happening, man, 3313 03:02:43.079 --> 03:02:48.120 It's always happening. Because there's so many films that have 3314 03:02:48.280 --> 03:02:51.200 only been available on Bear Bones releases where the stories 3315 03:02:51.239 --> 03:02:55.760 have never been heard, and I'm like, oh, let's talk 3316 03:02:55.760 --> 03:02:58.719 to the guy who taught the dog to do the basketball, shot, 3317 03:03:00.159 --> 03:03:01.719 air bud or whatever. 3318 03:03:03.639 --> 03:03:06.040 Yeah, I get like that with a bunch of titles. 3319 03:03:06.040 --> 03:03:08.760 And then the other thing is I'll get with you know, 3320 03:03:08.799 --> 03:03:11.159 get all excited about something and realize, oh, it's an 3321 03:03:11.239 --> 03:03:15.840 MGM title. Yeah, that means nothing is going to happen. 3322 03:03:15.920 --> 03:03:17.799 And some of them I wish I could revisit, like 3323 03:03:17.920 --> 03:03:21.239 I wish I could go back and recut some things 3324 03:03:21.360 --> 03:03:24.520 I wish to say. I was talking so much with 3325 03:03:24.600 --> 03:03:27.840 Crispin during the production of the Willard Disc and his dad, 3326 03:03:27.959 --> 03:03:31.879 his late dad, and Crispin's was so down to do it, 3327 03:03:31.879 --> 03:03:36.239 but he was stuck overseas buying a castle. That's a 3328 03:03:36.280 --> 03:03:39.239 real it happens, that's a real story, and so we 3329 03:03:39.840 --> 03:03:43.639 missed our flights, missed, you could say. And it's it's 3330 03:03:43.639 --> 03:03:46.360 heartbreaking because I really wanted to do a really robust 3331 03:03:46.399 --> 03:03:50.559 tribute to him on that and someday I would love 3332 03:03:50.600 --> 03:03:52.719 to do that in some form. But let's get back 3333 03:03:52.719 --> 03:03:57.280 into that when I was working. Just the list is 3334 03:03:57.319 --> 03:04:00.000 so long of titles that I wish I could go 3335 03:04:00.159 --> 03:04:03.719 back and add more to or have been a part of. 3336 03:04:04.040 --> 03:04:06.440 But I really love watching the work that all these 3337 03:04:06.479 --> 03:04:09.399 other folks do too, because I get sick of what 3338 03:04:09.479 --> 03:04:12.760 I do and seeing. You know, I don't like to 3339 03:04:12.760 --> 03:04:17.600 revisit the things that I've made after they're done, and 3340 03:04:17.639 --> 03:04:21.000 so it's in a way it's better if someone else 3341 03:04:21.040 --> 03:04:23.520 gets like Knight of the Demons, Yeah, because then I 3342 03:04:23.520 --> 03:04:26.840 can watch it and enjoy it. Whereas I've always described 3343 03:04:26.840 --> 03:04:28.440 this thing, I don't know if I said this last 3344 03:04:28.440 --> 03:04:32.040 time we talked, but I've always felt that working in 3345 03:04:32.079 --> 03:04:35.920 this realm, it's like entering a relationship over and over 3346 03:04:36.000 --> 03:04:40.840 again that you know is doomed. Like imagine getting involved 3347 03:04:40.840 --> 03:04:46.079 with someone and knowing when it's going to end. Yeah, 3348 03:04:46.479 --> 03:04:48.760 And so I get, Yes, I get the opportunity to 3349 03:04:48.799 --> 03:04:51.239 work on these movies I love, and I'm going to 3350 03:04:51.399 --> 03:04:54.120 spend so much time with them. I'm going to be 3351 03:04:54.159 --> 03:04:57.479 pouring over frame by frame, trying to find the right cuts, 3352 03:04:57.520 --> 03:05:00.799 the right moments, the right quotes. I will have seen 3353 03:05:00.840 --> 03:05:02.959 it so many times that by the time it's done, 3354 03:05:03.799 --> 03:05:06.200 I can't almost bear to look at it again, at 3355 03:05:06.280 --> 03:05:09.360 least for a while. And there are some movies that 3356 03:05:09.479 --> 03:05:14.079 have countered that experience, but a lot of them it's 3357 03:05:14.120 --> 03:05:18.639 still like it was such an intense window of time, 3358 03:05:18.760 --> 03:05:23.520 such an intense relationship in such a short period that 3359 03:05:23.600 --> 03:05:25.559 it's almost like I just need time away from it. 3360 03:05:26.520 --> 03:05:29.319 And so it's kind of tragic in a way like that, 3361 03:05:29.360 --> 03:05:31.120 where I'd like, Oh, I can't wait to work on 3362 03:05:33.000 --> 03:05:36.920 I don't know whatever movie, and then knowing that in 3363 03:05:36.959 --> 03:05:40.000 a matter of months it's going to be this breakup. 3364 03:05:41.040 --> 03:05:44.000 It's kind of sad. So in a way, it's nice 3365 03:05:44.000 --> 03:05:46.000 when other people get hired for stuff I love. I 3366 03:05:46.040 --> 03:05:47.360 guess is what I'm trying to say. 3367 03:05:48.200 --> 03:05:52.120 I feel that immensely two more things. I'll take the 3368 03:05:52.159 --> 03:05:56.159 easier one first. And in your mind, what makes a 3369 03:05:56.200 --> 03:05:57.600 good supplemental feature. 3370 03:05:59.639 --> 03:06:08.319 Conser iteration for the person being interviewed, the people being interviewed, 3371 03:06:11.159 --> 03:06:15.399 not just phoning it in with the same rote questions 3372 03:06:15.440 --> 03:06:18.399 like research it enough to know what other people have 3373 03:06:18.479 --> 03:06:21.920 already covered, especially if it's been covered a lot. So 3374 03:06:21.959 --> 03:06:25.239 I think that the best special features present someone with 3375 03:06:25.399 --> 03:06:30.319 sincerity and it follows their lead in the stories they tell. Yep, 3376 03:06:31.520 --> 03:06:35.680 because you can dictate through editing in a lot of ways. 3377 03:06:36.399 --> 03:06:40.520 But I've always found the journey following that person down 3378 03:06:40.600 --> 03:06:44.520 whatever side roads they want to lead the discussion to 3379 03:06:44.600 --> 03:06:49.760 be the most interesting stuff. And the special features, whether 3380 03:06:49.799 --> 03:06:52.760 they're commentaries or documentaries that I'm proudest of are the 3381 03:06:52.799 --> 03:06:55.479 ones where we really got to see the person there, 3382 03:06:55.520 --> 03:06:58.239 where we really got through that sort of media of 3383 03:06:58.440 --> 03:07:06.159 guys or normal pocket questions or answers that they pull out. 3384 03:07:07.239 --> 03:07:10.399 There's been some really emotional moments, some really special moments 3385 03:07:10.440 --> 03:07:13.719 with people, Like even back to the towards early on 3386 03:07:13.799 --> 03:07:16.840 with Felyssa Rose at the end of the Sleepaway Camp documentary, 3387 03:07:17.600 --> 03:07:20.559 because I'd love to ask people at the end, well, 3388 03:07:21.040 --> 03:07:23.399 you know, after all of this, after all these years, 3389 03:07:23.520 --> 03:07:26.040 and what does the movie mean to you now, and 3390 03:07:26.040 --> 03:07:29.799 what's your relationship like with it? There's my rote question 3391 03:07:29.920 --> 03:07:34.520 that I ask everybody. But by that time, you've established 3392 03:07:34.520 --> 03:07:39.520 something special, and so that moment really settles in a 3393 03:07:39.520 --> 03:07:42.559 different way if you've had that kind of in depth 3394 03:07:43.159 --> 03:07:48.200 conversation up until that point, and I've there have been 3395 03:07:48.280 --> 03:07:51.120 some just really amazing moments just with the end of 3396 03:07:51.159 --> 03:07:53.959 the discussion as a result of that. So I think 3397 03:07:54.000 --> 03:07:56.559 it's offering something new to the audience. I think it's 3398 03:07:56.559 --> 03:08:01.440 offering the person being interviewed and experience for themselves, and 3399 03:08:01.520 --> 03:08:06.040 I think it's showing respect to all involved to show 3400 03:08:06.120 --> 03:08:09.239 up ready for whatever direction it's going to go. And 3401 03:08:10.600 --> 03:08:13.440 I think I still think that Darkest Days is the 3402 03:08:13.479 --> 03:08:18.520 greatest film documentary ever made about the making a Blade Runner. 3403 03:08:19.479 --> 03:08:25.040 Charles has made an absolute masterpiece with that movie. And 3404 03:08:26.360 --> 03:08:31.680 that's like my beacon is, Remember it can be this good. 3405 03:08:32.600 --> 03:08:35.840 You'll never be there, but it can be this good, 3406 03:08:35.959 --> 03:08:40.799 So never stop reaching and trying new things and whatever. 3407 03:08:41.000 --> 03:08:43.840 So anyway, that would be my answer to that. 3408 03:08:44.719 --> 03:08:47.479 As existential as it's going to be, especially following that, 3409 03:08:49.159 --> 03:08:53.040 what is left for for justin in this industry? What 3410 03:08:53.239 --> 03:08:55.040 is there left for you to tackle? What do you 3411 03:08:55.079 --> 03:08:57.840 feel like you are missing. 3412 03:09:06.520 --> 03:09:11.280 Nothing? If this ended tomorrow, I'd be okay if it 3413 03:09:11.360 --> 03:09:19.520 ended now. Yeah, I mean it's really you're asking me 3414 03:09:19.559 --> 03:09:22.200 the same kind of question that I asked these people 3415 03:09:22.200 --> 03:09:24.040 that I was just talking about, and here I go. 3416 03:09:24.959 --> 03:09:30.079 But it's given me a life that I never expected Ryan, 3417 03:09:31.879 --> 03:09:36.959 And I'm not rich, and I don't I'm not out 3418 03:09:37.040 --> 03:09:42.600 hobnobbing with celebrities or anything. But I'm really honored and 3419 03:09:42.719 --> 03:09:45.159 proud to have been able to do what I have 3420 03:09:47.079 --> 03:09:53.879 even with my limited means. None of this was a plan, 3421 03:09:54.040 --> 03:09:55.840 just like with the record you asked at the beginning, 3422 03:09:56.000 --> 03:09:59.440 like there was no plan to make an album. I 3423 03:09:59.559 --> 03:10:02.479 became a cessed with creating something and then it happened. 3424 03:10:02.719 --> 03:10:04.799 And that's kind of how this whole road has been 3425 03:10:04.879 --> 03:10:09.440 for me, has been just continuing to do and to 3426 03:10:09.520 --> 03:10:13.360 try to do in a way that makes that serves 3427 03:10:13.399 --> 03:10:16.120 the things we were just talking about in the last 3428 03:10:16.159 --> 03:10:16.600 d answer. 3429 03:10:17.440 --> 03:10:17.760 But I. 3430 03:10:20.559 --> 03:10:24.920 Don't have any goals in it because I'm so surprised 3431 03:10:24.920 --> 03:10:28.639 that any of it's happened. And it's an industry. There's 3432 03:10:28.719 --> 03:10:34.559 no ladder to climb, right, And what matters to me 3433 03:10:34.680 --> 03:10:38.680 is family and friends, and they're always going to be there. 3434 03:10:38.719 --> 03:10:41.680 So if this poof whatever, I'll go back to working 3435 03:10:41.719 --> 03:10:45.520 for a finance company or whatever else I need to do. 3436 03:10:46.440 --> 03:10:49.559 But I'll always look back at it fondly and be 3437 03:10:49.719 --> 03:10:52.639 so grateful for what I've been afforded in this because 3438 03:10:53.000 --> 03:10:55.079 this guy from Iowa shouldn't have been a part of 3439 03:10:55.079 --> 03:10:58.559 it at all, and that's how it's happened. Though, So 3440 03:11:00.079 --> 03:11:04.479 I don't know, bad answer, terrible answer for that great question. 3441 03:11:04.879 --> 03:11:07.000 I mean, it's not though. It's one of those things 3442 03:11:07.040 --> 03:11:09.959 that there are many reasons to do this sort of thing, 3443 03:11:10.040 --> 03:11:12.760 and I think that speaks to the kind of person 3444 03:11:12.799 --> 03:11:14.520 you are, the kind of person that I am about 3445 03:11:14.520 --> 03:11:18.159 this is I never sought out doing a lot of 3446 03:11:18.200 --> 03:11:20.799 this stuff. It was mostly just it happened that I 3447 03:11:20.840 --> 03:11:23.799 needed to help somebody, and suddenly there's opportunities that come 3448 03:11:23.799 --> 03:11:27.600 from that. And I don't have the goal of, you know, 3449 03:11:28.200 --> 03:11:31.639 making a film like I've never been somebody that's desired 3450 03:11:31.680 --> 03:11:35.319 to be a director. I've the same thing as probably 3451 03:11:35.360 --> 03:11:37.200 many of the people in the chat tonight, Like I 3452 03:11:37.799 --> 03:11:40.959 did like stupid, silly short films with friends and stuff 3453 03:11:41.000 --> 03:11:43.760 like that in high school. But I've never thought I'm 3454 03:11:43.760 --> 03:11:45.799 going to write a film and see a play in 3455 03:11:45.840 --> 03:11:48.639 a festival or anything like that. And there are people 3456 03:11:48.680 --> 03:11:51.319 in this industry that are doing stuff like this that 3457 03:11:51.639 --> 03:11:55.239 have those goals that they are seeing this as, Oh, 3458 03:11:55.479 --> 03:11:57.479 I'm building up skills to be able to do that. 3459 03:11:57.559 --> 03:12:00.520 Someday I will be releasing a film of these people 3460 03:12:00.559 --> 03:12:02.959 that do it to meet celebrities. There are many of 3461 03:12:03.000 --> 03:12:05.760 these people that do this to get rich, and you're 3462 03:12:05.799 --> 03:12:07.440 in the wrong industry because it does not. 3463 03:12:07.399 --> 03:12:11.319 Pay, I would guess, though. I mean, I really want 3464 03:12:11.360 --> 03:12:14.959 to say that after the years of meeting people on 3465 03:12:15.639 --> 03:12:20.120 all kinds of levels of success, and most notably and 3466 03:12:20.159 --> 03:12:23.000 importantly to me, after being part of so many film 3467 03:12:23.040 --> 03:12:27.200 festivals over time that are conventions that have film festivals 3468 03:12:27.200 --> 03:12:29.840 and stuff. Most people aren't. 3469 03:12:29.600 --> 03:12:31.639 In it for those reasons, No, most or not. 3470 03:12:32.520 --> 03:12:35.920 The filmmakers that I meet, the people I'm lucky enough 3471 03:12:35.920 --> 03:12:39.559 to sit with, I can't even think of how many 3472 03:12:39.600 --> 03:12:43.440 of them even talk about money, right, I mean, I 3473 03:12:43.520 --> 03:12:56.559 really Yeah. This is an industry that involves an orchestra 3474 03:12:56.680 --> 03:13:00.479 to make anything happen. And that back to your about 3475 03:13:00.479 --> 03:13:03.159 Reverend and how I do it. It is the orchestra, 3476 03:13:03.319 --> 03:13:07.000 it is, and every piece is important equally in that 3477 03:13:07.120 --> 03:13:10.000 right to get a movie made on any level is 3478 03:13:10.000 --> 03:13:15.319 a fucking miracle, and it's harder now than ever to 3479 03:13:15.399 --> 03:13:20.559 do something substantial. We have the means now in our pockets. Yeah, 3480 03:13:20.559 --> 03:13:24.360 there's movies being shot on cameras that are affordable finally, 3481 03:13:24.520 --> 03:13:27.879 So that's great. There's an economy to that. More kids 3482 03:13:27.920 --> 03:13:32.120 in more backyard shooting, more stuff, bring it on. I'm 3483 03:13:32.120 --> 03:13:37.520 happy for that, But I don't know how many people 3484 03:13:37.559 --> 03:13:40.559 who get into this business aiming to make money really 3485 03:13:40.719 --> 03:13:45.120 end up happy, not just because the business is famous 3486 03:13:45.120 --> 03:13:52.639 for eating people alive, but also because if you can't 3487 03:13:52.639 --> 03:13:58.799 be satisfied with what you're doing, on your personal creative level. Yep, 3488 03:14:00.719 --> 03:14:04.000 then I don't. There's not going to be joy here 3489 03:14:04.040 --> 03:14:07.920 because there is no finish line, there's no arrival date. 3490 03:14:09.680 --> 03:14:11.600 Even people who get the Star on the Walk of 3491 03:14:11.639 --> 03:14:15.000 Fame or whatever that's paid for that's campaigned for, you 3492 03:14:15.159 --> 03:14:19.399 buy those right. There are awards that mean something, but 3493 03:14:20.600 --> 03:14:23.000 it's just people who want to it. It goes back 3494 03:14:23.000 --> 03:14:24.719 to what I was talking about with the column for 3495 03:14:24.840 --> 03:14:27.760 remind magazine, where it's like, I have such deep reverence 3496 03:14:27.799 --> 03:14:30.680 for these people who wanted to create some crazy theme 3497 03:14:30.760 --> 03:14:32.639 park on the side of a mountain that's like a 3498 03:14:32.680 --> 03:14:36.399 Wild West town that has a shootout six times a 3499 03:14:36.479 --> 03:14:39.120 day and has a roller coaster off the side of 3500 03:14:39.120 --> 03:14:42.479 a mountain in Maggie Valley, North Carolina, ghost town in 3501 03:14:42.520 --> 03:14:46.079 the sky. Anyone who has an idea and wants to 3502 03:14:46.120 --> 03:14:52.639 create something to bring joy to others, ultimately they have 3503 03:14:52.680 --> 03:14:57.719 to first be serving their own creative instincts in drive 3504 03:14:57.840 --> 03:15:00.959 and I for me and from what I've seen over 3505 03:15:01.000 --> 03:15:04.000 the years, it just seems like money doesn't really outside 3506 03:15:04.040 --> 03:15:06.520 of the ability to create things when you have it. 3507 03:15:07.639 --> 03:15:10.680 I don't talk to filmmakers about how much they make. 3508 03:15:11.159 --> 03:15:11.879 It doesn't come up. 3509 03:15:11.920 --> 03:15:15.079 Yeah, to me, like most of the times when it 3510 03:15:15.120 --> 03:15:17.600 comes up, it's literally I just need enough to be 3511 03:15:17.639 --> 03:15:20.959 able to fund that next project, right, And that alone 3512 03:15:21.159 --> 03:15:23.360 shows why they're in it. It's literally just I just 3513 03:15:23.440 --> 03:15:25.360 want to be creating. What can I do to get 3514 03:15:25.360 --> 03:15:26.040 that done? 3515 03:15:26.399 --> 03:15:27.399 To continue to do? 3516 03:15:28.239 --> 03:15:33.399 Yeah? Yeah, incredible. This has been a really fun companion 3517 03:15:33.440 --> 03:15:36.920 to the last conversation cannot wait two and a half 3518 03:15:37.000 --> 03:15:38.079 years for time. 3519 03:15:38.559 --> 03:15:40.600 Were there any questions that popped up in the chat? 3520 03:15:40.639 --> 03:15:42.479 I don't. I don't see the chat, So were there 3521 03:15:42.479 --> 03:15:43.680 anything in there that we needed. 3522 03:15:43.440 --> 03:15:45.879 To I've asked a lot of I think most people 3523 03:15:45.879 --> 03:15:50.040 have been captivated by the conversation, and it's the feedback 3524 03:15:50.120 --> 03:15:53.280 is slowed down just because we're the stories, right yeah, 3525 03:15:53.719 --> 03:15:55.600 not even like a couple of weeks ago. We went 3526 03:15:55.639 --> 03:16:00.639 five hours. So yeah, this is a long showy by default, 3527 03:16:00.639 --> 03:16:04.680 I guess. But I mean the stories themselves are are enough. 3528 03:16:05.000 --> 03:16:08.000 I mean they don't we don't have supplemental features for 3529 03:16:08.040 --> 03:16:12.799 supplemental features, so it's it's always interesting to hear about 3530 03:16:13.280 --> 03:16:15.639 black light hallways and dog bites. 3531 03:16:16.799 --> 03:16:18.840 Crazy life man, crazy life. 3532 03:16:19.959 --> 03:16:23.079 Oh justin this has been amazing.

It's 3554 03:17:30.399 --> 03:17:32.799 been a hustle to get this thing out there and 3555 03:17:32.879 --> 03:17:35.239 it's really cool to chat with you about it well 3556 03:17:35.440 --> 03:17:36.280 and everything else. 3557 03:17:36.600 --> 03:17:38.559 I don't think we've talked about it, but I feel 3558 03:17:38.600 --> 03:17:41.760 like I've heard you talk about somewhere else about imposter syndrome. 3559 03:17:41.840 --> 03:17:45.799 And it's something I struggle with immensely, literally on like 3560 03:17:45.840 --> 03:17:48.600 a daily basis. Not I don't know why I'm in 3561 03:17:48.719 --> 03:17:52.920 a room, I don't know why I'm having shirt first exactly, 3562 03:17:53.239 --> 03:17:55.479 and it's like, sure, okay, I'll deal with it, but 3563 03:17:55.600 --> 03:17:58.639 it still feels weird. And marketing myself is one of 3564 03:17:58.639 --> 03:18:01.520 those things that I I don't like telling people about 3565 03:18:01.520 --> 03:18:03.680 anything that I do. I just want you to know 3566 03:18:03.719 --> 03:18:04.440 about it. 3567 03:18:06.079 --> 03:18:09.239 Yeah, it's this is such a strange thing for me 3568 03:18:09.319 --> 03:18:11.719 because if you think about we're talking about the orchestra 3569 03:18:11.760 --> 03:18:14.719 of people involved with making film and documentary and these 3570 03:18:14.760 --> 03:18:18.760 awesome team members I have around all over and with 3571 03:18:18.879 --> 03:18:24.639 this though, it's just me, and so when I to 3572 03:18:24.760 --> 03:18:31.559 answer for it, it's it's it's it's it feels so vulnerable, 3573 03:18:31.680 --> 03:18:35.399 is what I've talked about before. And when Greg and 3574 03:18:35.440 --> 03:18:38.200 Pearl had me on Land of the Creeps, I got 3575 03:18:38.440 --> 03:18:41.079 straight up emotional about it because I was still dealing 3576 03:18:41.159 --> 03:18:43.920 with this being a thing now because It's one thing 3577 03:18:44.000 --> 03:18:47.639 to create something and be in the mania of its making. 3578 03:18:48.719 --> 03:18:51.000 But then when it's done and it's all sent off 3579 03:18:51.040 --> 03:18:53.799 to press and waxwork is working on it and the 3580 03:18:53.840 --> 03:18:57.399 CDs are being pressed, and it's like this is out 3581 03:18:57.399 --> 03:18:59.440 of your hands now. And then I had this moment 3582 03:18:59.479 --> 03:19:02.600 of realizing, like, God, what have I done? Like why 3583 03:19:02.719 --> 03:19:10.120 did I do this? And I so yeah, I especially 3584 03:19:10.159 --> 03:19:14.399 with this music thing. It's I'm getting a little better 3585 03:19:14.440 --> 03:19:17.719 about it and my feelings about it, but it just 3586 03:19:18.159 --> 03:19:21.159 it does feel extremely vulnerable for me. And even though 3587 03:19:21.159 --> 03:19:24.319 there's it sounds crazy because there's no words in the music, 3588 03:19:25.079 --> 03:19:30.120 it's instrumental stuff, but it really was. I think it's 3589 03:19:30.159 --> 03:19:34.719 something I had to go through, and I didn't realize 3590 03:19:34.760 --> 03:19:42.040 that until two things happened. One was an email I 3591 03:19:42.079 --> 03:19:46.200 got from Elias Marriage, who made Shadow the Vampire and Begotten, 3592 03:19:47.000 --> 03:19:51.719 and he was telling me about his experience listening to 3593 03:19:51.760 --> 03:19:54.959 the album, and it was the sweetest thing, but part 3594 03:19:54.959 --> 03:19:57.360 of it completely flew over my head where he was 3595 03:19:57.399 --> 03:20:02.559 seeing or hearing something that I now am amazed that 3596 03:20:02.600 --> 03:20:05.760 he caught. And then when I was talking to Greg 3597 03:20:05.799 --> 03:20:07.719 and Pearl and landed the Creeps and they were telling 3598 03:20:07.760 --> 03:20:09.799 me what they heard in the music, and then I 3599 03:20:09.879 --> 03:20:12.440 just realized that this kind of needed to happen. Similar 3600 03:20:12.520 --> 03:20:16.920 to Elias when he told me about making Begotten, he said, 3601 03:20:16.920 --> 03:20:19.079 that's a film that had to move through him. It 3602 03:20:19.120 --> 03:20:22.079 had to happen, and it was a process. He didn't 3603 03:20:22.079 --> 03:20:24.239 know how to turn off at the end because he 3604 03:20:24.319 --> 03:20:27.319 was He didn't know how or why or when to 3605 03:20:27.399 --> 03:20:30.159 say enough is enough. And a friend had to intervene 3606 03:20:30.159 --> 03:20:32.879 and get him, like pry his hands away from editing 3607 03:20:33.319 --> 03:20:35.120 on the thing, like it just has to be done 3608 03:20:35.120 --> 03:20:37.520 at some point, got to give it to the world. 3609 03:20:38.200 --> 03:20:38.360 And. 3610 03:20:40.040 --> 03:20:43.319 So not to get too heady about the whole thing. 3611 03:20:43.319 --> 03:20:48.159 And this is fucking instrumental, weirdo surf stuff, but it 3612 03:20:48.200 --> 03:20:50.159 really meant a lot to me to make it. And 3613 03:20:51.159 --> 03:20:53.840 you're hearing it basically chronologically as you listened through the 3614 03:20:53.879 --> 03:20:55.920 album as I recorded the tracks. The only two that 3615 03:20:55.920 --> 03:20:59.200 are flipped of the first two, but everything else, it's 3616 03:20:59.239 --> 03:21:02.000 like the pro sess of my making it is right 3617 03:21:02.040 --> 03:21:07.159 there in real time. And it was an immense joy 3618 03:21:07.200 --> 03:21:10.280 to make that. And so I don't know that I'll 3619 03:21:10.319 --> 03:21:15.079 ever be comfortable with the guitar in my hands instead 3620 03:21:15.120 --> 03:21:18.600 of drumsticks, but I sure as hell do love making 3621 03:21:18.639 --> 03:21:23.120 some noise with this, and I'm excited to continue doing it. Well. 3622 03:21:23.120 --> 03:21:25.920 I enjoyed it, so thank you, thank you, thank you. 3623 03:21:26.680 --> 03:21:29.959 On that note, other than we'll see you next Thursday. 3624 03:21:30.000 --> 03:21:31.520 When do we get a good release of a gotten 3625 03:21:31.600 --> 03:21:37.840 God damn it, somebody put that out, we'll talk on 3626 03:21:37.920 --> 03:21:39.840 that note.

My name 3634 03:22:29.920 --> 03:22:32.239 is Hunter. In this podcast, I'll be joined by a 3635 03:22:32.239 --> 03:22:34.959 different guest each week to discuss a classic Western movie 3636 03:22:35.040 --> 03:22:37.559 or TV show. I've been a fan of classic westerns 3637 03:22:37.559 --> 03:22:39.159 for as long as I can remember, and in recent 3638 03:22:39.239 --> 03:22:42.440 years they've become very nostalgic for me. I love the aesthetic, 3639 03:22:42.639 --> 03:22:45.959 the tropes, and I love seeing different filmmakers takes on 3640 03:22:46.000 --> 03:22:49.799 them at their best. They're incredibly entertaining, rewatchable, and some 3641 03:22:49.840 --> 03:22:52.440 of my all time favorite movies are Westerns. We'll mostly 3642 03:22:52.479 --> 03:22:55.040 focus on Western movies made in Hollywood, but will also 3643 03:22:55.040 --> 03:22:57.639 be covering spaghetti westerns and one thing I'm very excited 3644 03:22:57.680 --> 03:23:00.280 to get into our Western TV shows.
