Speaker 1: You are now listening to the Someone's Favorite Productions podcast Network.
Speaker 1: Hello there, and welcome back. What is this place? Is connected? Disconnected?
Speaker 1: It's connected, disconnected, disconnected, disconnected, disconnected, disconnected.
Speaker 2: Disconnected, disconnected, disconnected, disconnected, disconnected, disconnected.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry to feel disconnected. Break the number that has
Speaker 1: been disconnected? Hey, hey, what is up another Thursday Live
Speaker 1: for Reconnected. I am not in my normal place. I
Speaker 1: am at my sister in law's house. We'll get to
Speaker 1: that just a moment, but first, uh back for the
Speaker 1: first time in almost eight months, mister Christashu.
Speaker 2: Hello, welcome myself back here. I am back for a moment.
Speaker 2: We may never know how long, but I'm.
Speaker 1: Here, hopefully at least for tonight. How's how's that interesting?
Speaker 3: Eight months?
Speaker 1: Has it really been that long? May last year? Yeah? Whoa, whoa, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it has been.
Speaker 2: It has been quite a interesting eight months since the
Speaker 2: last time I was on here. A lot of life changes,
Speaker 2: a lot of professional changes with you and I, which
Speaker 2: is more exciting for me than anything else at this
Speaker 2: point in time. Frankly, not a whole lot of podcasting.
Speaker 2: The podcasting has kind of just been here at like
Speaker 2: about a middle level, but everybody else at Weirdingway Media,
Speaker 2: where I am the co founder of the podcast network,
Speaker 2: is still busting their collective tookases, as one might say, collectively.
Speaker 2: So if you're looking for podcasting stuff that's not Ryan's,
Speaker 2: which you should because not Ryan is not the only
Speaker 2: one who makes amazing audio content.
Speaker 1: I can speak to that directly.
Speaker 2: Weirdingwaymedia dot com is where you can go to check
Speaker 2: out all the things that myself and the others on
Speaker 2: my network do together.
Speaker 1: So yeah, that is true. Glad you're here, been a
Speaker 1: long time. We will talk about more and more tonight
Speaker 1: as we go through the night. I want to share
Speaker 1: I am here in a very different environment because I'm
Speaker 1: flying to Seattle tomorrow morning and my home is like
Speaker 1: an hour drive to the airport, and I'd rather get
Speaker 1: some sleep after the show rather than driving at four
Speaker 1: o'clock in the fricking morning to get to the airport.
Speaker 1: So I am here, and yeah, I am excited. Yeah
Speaker 1: what have you been? I'm okay, I'm okay. It's been
Speaker 1: a busy week. Lots of stuff.
Speaker 2: Ryan Verel had a busy week and water is wet, folks, ever.
Speaker 1: So slightly busy you have been a part of my
Speaker 1: week with a lot of things going on, I'm curious
Speaker 1: because we've not really checked in this week about what
Speaker 1: we've been watching. What have you been checking out movie wise?
Speaker 3: What have I been checking out movie wise?
Speaker 2: So funny enough, this afternoon I actually watched something that
Speaker 2: I can guarantee most people either didn't watch. I know
Speaker 2: most people didn't even know it was happening for the
Speaker 2: most part until it was announced, and then it was like, wait,
Speaker 2: they're making a spiritual reboot sequel, reimagining meta sequel to Anaconda.
Speaker 1: Well, we were gonna talk about that release tonight, So
Speaker 1: tell us how, benaw what would you feel?
Speaker 2: What why? I could not, for the life of me,
Speaker 2: by the end of the film, ascertain as to why
Speaker 2: the film was made, because in a lot of ways,
Speaker 2: it felt like a hodgepodge, poor rejig sawing of a
Speaker 2: lot of other things. It felt kind of like Jumanji,
Speaker 2: It felt kind of like Minecraft, It felt kind of
Speaker 2: like a lot of other of those meta esequel type things,
Speaker 2: and I just I don't know it. It didn't have
Speaker 2: the charm of those other movies, and that I think,
Speaker 2: you know, for something like a Minecraft or a Jumanji.
Speaker 2: I think for me, like those movies, the chemistry, in
Speaker 2: the chemistry amongst the main cast was so much more interesting,
Speaker 2: and I think it was so much more like well
Speaker 2: thought out and I really couldn't understand other than maybe
Speaker 2: because ice Cube and Jennifer Lopez wanted to come back
Speaker 2: and cameo in an Anaconda movie and this was the
Speaker 2: only way to do it without them having to commit
Speaker 2: to being in a real Anaconda movie.
Speaker 3: I don't know it was.
Speaker 2: I would say, if you're interested in checking it out,
Speaker 2: maybe watch it. I love Steveson, I love Paul Rudd,
Speaker 2: and Jack Black is Jack Black for good and for bad?
Speaker 3: So I don't know.
Speaker 2: It was weird. It just it was one of those
Speaker 2: movies where by the end of it, I was like,
Speaker 2: did chat GPT make this? Like is this a creative
Speaker 2: enough endeavor to have justified spending?
Speaker 3: You know?
Speaker 2: However many millions of dollars they did, so not my
Speaker 2: favorite thing I've seen this week.
Speaker 1: I also enjoy Steve's on. I can't think is there
Speaker 1: anything he's done in the last five years?
Speaker 2: Well, he was in The Righteous Gemstones season oh three.
Speaker 2: He was really good in that. He's good in this.
Speaker 2: I always think of Strange Wilderness when I think of
Speaker 2: Steve's On and the thing with the Goblin Chark and
Speaker 2: the like.
Speaker 3: That's and I.
Speaker 2: Mean, Steve's on was really good in those Planet of
Speaker 2: the Apes movies. I believe it was the second and
Speaker 2: third one. I mean, I know he did MOCAP in
Speaker 2: the second one. He maybe did MOCAP in the third
Speaker 2: one even but Steve. I love Steve's On, so that
Speaker 2: was I mean, it was like a selling point for
Speaker 2: me that he was in it. And then it was
Speaker 2: just like, eh, I don't know, Fandy Newton is there
Speaker 2: for like again, it's just weird.
Speaker 3: I couldn't.
Speaker 2: They didn't have the chemistry that they should have, and
Speaker 2: if they had had the chemistry of a Minecraft movie,
Speaker 2: it probably could have carried the movie over the finish line.
Speaker 2: Because I think that Minecraft movie, I when I watched it,
Speaker 2: I was surprised at how much I enjoyed it, But
Speaker 2: that was based primarily on the chemistry of the of
Speaker 2: the four principal actors. So yeah, that was my response
Speaker 2: when I watched the Minecraft movie was I'm.
Speaker 1: So, you know, I feel like Jack Black hass chemistry
Speaker 1: with everybody, So.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's not Jack Black's fault.
Speaker 2: I think it's just I think maybe the writing doesn't
Speaker 2: serve the four of them the best. So I don't know,
Speaker 2: I see what they were going for. I don't think
Speaker 2: it was as successful as those other films, and I
Speaker 2: mean I don't.
Speaker 3: I don't think anybody really talked.
Speaker 2: About that Anaconda movie, like since it's been out, like
Speaker 2: it's not make any way.
Speaker 1: In our chat, my my friend Robert Hubbard says, so
Speaker 1: that's so that's what statue looks like. Yep, congratulations.
Speaker 2: Now you now all those times you've hated my voice,
Speaker 2: now you can put a voice to a face.
Speaker 3: So there you go.
Speaker 2: Congratulations. Yeah that's what we that's me to you.
Speaker 1: So hopefully that's not the case. This week showed my
Speaker 1: kids a couple of movies for the first time that
Speaker 1: you'll appreciate because you and I have talked about at
Speaker 1: least one of them. No, we've talked about two of
Speaker 1: them together. Actually, I showed my kids for the first
Speaker 1: time the Blair Witch Project. Fun movie fun.
Speaker 3: Made, not the original or the remake.
Speaker 1: Oh of the original, of course, come on, had a
Speaker 1: good time. Spencer whimpered while sitting on my lap for
Speaker 1: much of the movie and then the big one that
Speaker 1: I was stoked to be able to share them. I
Speaker 1: showed them the sixth Sense. Nice, that was a good time.
Speaker 2: How did they feel about that?
Speaker 1: They neither one saw the twist coming that was important,
Speaker 1: that was a big thing. Jonah was like, we no, yeah,
Speaker 1: genuinely got them. It was pretty good.
Speaker 3: Nice Now, Yeah, I was about to say, I don't.
Speaker 2: I don't know who else could be taken by surprise
Speaker 2: for the twist in the sixth Sense anymore other than
Speaker 2: people who weren't alive who in the film came out.
Speaker 1: And or don't have access to free internet for most
Speaker 1: of their life so far, right.
Speaker 3: Right, Well, that's not a given for any of us anymore.
Speaker 1: So that is true. I also caught up again with
Speaker 1: the movie that I love and I just want to
Speaker 1: champion again because I feel like a lot of people
Speaker 1: sleep on it, and I know it got a seven
Speaker 1: Blu ray release a few years ago, but I got
Speaker 1: an episode coming up with the New World Pictures podcast
Speaker 1: and I want to highlight that. But I also want
Speaker 1: to say everybody, and I mean everybody that has not
Speaker 1: seen The Boys next Door from seven Films by Penelope Spears.
Speaker 1: Please go watch the movie. Charlie Sheen Maxwell Caulfield both
Speaker 1: doing literally some of the best work in their career
Speaker 1: as just really heinous, awful troublemakers in a movie that
Speaker 1: is scary and weird and very homophobic and super super
Speaker 1: well made. Penelope Spears has always been great. Loved that
Speaker 1: movie and I really hope people check it out that
Speaker 1: have it because it is so so good. Jesus Well, she.
Speaker 2: Has a huge range as a director. I love Penelope
Speaker 2: Spears's range as a director to go what is your
Speaker 2: Western Civilization?
Speaker 3: To The Little Rascals?
Speaker 1: I was about to say, what is your favorite Penelope
Speaker 1: Spears film?
Speaker 2: Then, well, as a child, it would have been The
Speaker 2: Little Rascals because I saw it so much. But as
Speaker 2: an adult, it's the decline of Western civilization. So and
Speaker 2: I know that that might ruffle some Wayne's world feathers,
Speaker 2: but I I'm a fall of Western civilization.
Speaker 1: Guys. I just know you love the cameos and Little
Speaker 1: Rascals specifically, I do.
Speaker 2: I mean there is a there is a cameo in
Speaker 2: that movie that I think is very telling for the
Speaker 2: person who is in it. Yeah, that's a nice way
Speaker 2: of getting it. You're the best some money can buy.
Speaker 2: How many times have you heard that.
Speaker 1: Or said that literally?
Speaker 2: We said that literally to your own children.
Speaker 1: As far as pickups, since I'm in my sister in
Speaker 1: law's house, I have nothing with me. What about you?
Speaker 1: You've been you've been purchasing anything. I know, you're a
Speaker 1: card collector, You've got all kinds of things that you're
Speaker 1: checking out. Anything you want to talk about or share.
Speaker 2: I was gonna say, you know, it's been in terms
Speaker 2: of things that I've picked up or things that I've watched,
Speaker 2: or things that I have been engaging in. I you know,
Speaker 2: the physical media space. You and I have talked about
Speaker 2: this a lot, like I've been getting back into it
Speaker 2: a lot more so actually since the last time we talked.
Speaker 2: I picked up Stop Making Sense in Midsomar on the
Speaker 2: A twenty four. They're not steel books, but they're those
Speaker 2: really high end Yeah, those really high end collectors editions
Speaker 2: that they were selling at Walmart, which will never because
Speaker 2: that's where I bought them, which will never not crack
Speaker 2: me up. Like I was just walking down the aisles
Speaker 2: at Walmart and seeing that and just being like, huh,
Speaker 2: that's a that's a spontaneous purchase I didn't expect to
Speaker 2: make today.
Speaker 3: Normally it's like a stick of.
Speaker 2: Gum or a red bull, not one hundred and twenty
Speaker 2: dollars worth of the you know, So I bought those
Speaker 2: in the last eight months. Yeah, I do. I do
Speaker 2: a lot of I mean, I do a lot of
Speaker 2: card collecting. I do a lot of other thing collecting.
Speaker 2: But I honestly, in the last like eighteen months, two years,
Speaker 2: I've been more just trying to downsize the stuff that
Speaker 2: I have, so I have not been loading up on things.
Speaker 2: I will say, though, if you're a fan of The Simpsons,
Speaker 2: it's nice to see that we're finally getting physical products
Speaker 2: from the show being released in some capacity. Because I
Speaker 2: look to my right and I see a talking, haunted
Speaker 2: krusty doll from the Treehouse of Horrors. I think it's
Speaker 2: like one or two, maybe even the third one. And
Speaker 2: they've made like the phone from Moe's Tavern, or they've
Speaker 2: made the Funzo doll, or they made all kinds of things.
Speaker 2: So I mean, in terms of physical things, not much.
Speaker 3: You know. I'm looking to change that this.
Speaker 2: Year though, because there's a lot of there's a lot
Speaker 2: of stuff coming out this year that I'm really excited about,
Speaker 2: and you know, getting more into the physical media space
Speaker 2: with you directly with Antenna, I think will lead to
Speaker 2: me spending probably more money on physical media just because
Speaker 2: I'm constantly being exposed to it in a substantive way.
Speaker 2: So no, that's all I've got.
Speaker 1: I did an interview for Tennant today and Billy Ray
Speaker 1: and I got asked, what is your favorite special feature
Speaker 1: that you've ever seen? And immediately my mind was like,
Speaker 1: I don't want to list fifty four of them and
Speaker 1: just it's so difficult to pick one of those things.
Speaker 3: But yes, I have an answer hit us, well I can.
Speaker 2: I say it's a collective answer, but I think the
Speaker 2: answer is technically always the same every single the sides
Speaker 2: show Bob stepping on Rake's noise is a genuine mean noise. Agree.
Speaker 2: The Simpsons for me is my meme show. It's the
Speaker 2: thing that I come back to where all the memes
Speaker 2: of my life with most of my friends come from.
Speaker 2: I was going to say, for me, the the physical
Speaker 2: like all of this physical media stuff that you and
Speaker 2: I have been doing has really been like pushing me
Speaker 2: to reassess whether or not I want to like collect more,
Speaker 2: and I think that for me, like you have always
Speaker 2: been such a positive force for me to want to
Speaker 2: collect more because I think the physical media space is
Speaker 2: so important now because of the way the streaming kind
Speaker 2: of system is becoming more and more monopolized, and it's
Speaker 2: essentially becoming once again a vertical pipe that we're all
Speaker 2: going to have to drink from.
Speaker 3: So I'm just.
Speaker 2: Glad, like I said, that I get to be exposed
Speaker 2: to more physical media stuff with you through antenna, because
Speaker 2: otherwise I really was kind of out of the physical
Speaker 2: media game, which is crazy, because I mean, I have
Speaker 2: so many DVDs in Blu rays at my parents' house
Speaker 2: and here in my basement.
Speaker 3: I just at one point I just stopped.
Speaker 2: So I'm glad that there will be a time now
Speaker 2: where the stopping is gone. So and it is hard
Speaker 2: to downsize when you want to buy other things. So
Speaker 2: you know, discs don't take up that much space, right right?
Speaker 1: Uh? One disc does not turns out as thousand does.
Speaker 3: On top of each other. How many does it take
Speaker 3: to reach the moon?
Speaker 1: Mac and Cheese is asking, well, intenda put out innovative
Speaker 1: low budget genre films too. Absolutely literally watched two today
Speaker 1: that I am meeting with the filmmaker about because I
Speaker 1: truly loved it and can't wait to see if we
Speaker 1: can make a deal on that one because it was
Speaker 1: exciting and MCA cheese. If you know of anything that
Speaker 1: I maybe have not seen, please send it in send
Speaker 1: an email to us at info at Antenna Releasing dot com,
Speaker 1: whether that is just a list of a suggestion or
Speaker 1: a link to a site or a filmmaker that you're
Speaker 1: excited about, or somebody that you want us to check out,
Speaker 1: and I can guarantee you somebody on the team will
Speaker 1: watch every single one that you put forward. Literally, we
Speaker 1: have absolutely done that so far, had a discussion on
Speaker 1: every single title, and it has been very eye opening
Speaker 1: to see what is out there not getting distribution because
Speaker 1: some of these are genuinely great and still not getting anything,
Speaker 1: which is weird.
Speaker 2: I would say pretty much everything we've seen so far
Speaker 2: has been pretty great. I mean, you know, it's yeah,
Speaker 2: and it's been at all levels of stuff. I mean,
Speaker 2: to your point, we've seen things that are theatrical and
Speaker 2: then we've seen I mean, you know, some of the
Speaker 2: stuff that I brought to the table is you know,
Speaker 2: you film festival shorts with that are claymation and stop
Speaker 2: motion animation. So we're we're really spanning the range here,
Speaker 2: because so much great content has no physical space and
Speaker 2: that's a shame because it should be able to be
Speaker 2: enjoyed everywhere and anywhere.
Speaker 1: So I agree, Yeah, I agree, And uh, you know,
Speaker 1: I've actually gotten that question a lot of what is
Speaker 1: what is the genre that Antenna's gonna be focusing on?
Speaker 1: And I really hate to answer that because it sounds
Speaker 1: like the idiot typical answer to say, well, will literally
Speaker 1: release any genre anything. It just it just has to
Speaker 1: be of quality. I I wish that we put out anything,
Speaker 1: but yeah, it's uh, it's it's it's tough because obviously
Speaker 1: there has to be a commercial quality, it has to
Speaker 1: be able to sell, but we also have to love them.
Speaker 1: I mean, we're gonna be spending so much time with them.
Speaker 1: Uh you know, Stolen Kingdom the first film that we announced.
Speaker 1: I've watched that movie so many times. I watched it
Speaker 1: twice this week literally for other things. It's one of
Speaker 1: those things that if we don't like it, we are
Speaker 1: truly going to despise the process as we put it together.
Speaker 1: So it's not something that is taken lightly. It's literally
Speaker 1: something that if we don't love it, why I wouldn't
Speaker 1: want to watch it eight times? And that's the whole
Speaker 1: point of this.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we want to make sure that what we're putting
Speaker 2: out with our name behind it is representative of Antenna.
Speaker 2: And I think that you know that's you know, for
Speaker 2: good and for bad. We are going to stick to
Speaker 2: our our guns on the things that we do and
Speaker 2: don't want. So yeah, but I think to your point,
Speaker 2: I mean for your audience, like I think, yeah, please
Speaker 2: send in any of your suggestions, because literally we don't
Speaker 2: know until we start looking what the situation for so
Speaker 2: many of these things are. So and who knows where
Speaker 2: some of these things could go. Literally, yeah, we don't anymore.
Speaker 2: Take it from us. We can't even fathom the things
Speaker 2: that have been happening anymore. Ryan and I spend a
Speaker 2: lot of phone calls with one another going can you
Speaker 2: believe this?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 3: I can't either, So you never know.
Speaker 1: And for those that have not surmised from this, Chris
Speaker 1: is playing a part in Antenna obviously is the word
Speaker 1: we is thrown around a lot. I probably should have
Speaker 1: mentioned at the beginning, But Chris is going to be
Speaker 1: doing a lot of stuff behind the scenes with us,
Speaker 1: and our team has has steadily grown the entire time.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it had well and the success is you know,
Speaker 2: you and I talked on the phone about a month
Speaker 2: and a half ago and there I asked you, like,
Speaker 2: what are the what are the reach goals that we
Speaker 2: have for Antenna And all of those reach goals have
Speaker 2: happened in the last month, which is a complete nightmare
Speaker 2: in the best and worst way. Yeah, it's it's been
Speaker 2: a wild ride for the last month. And like Stan
Speaker 2: mentioned just now in the comments, we are screening Stolen
Speaker 2: Kingdom that Brain did in February in February, So if
Speaker 2: you want to interact with Antenna in a physical form
Speaker 2: and you're in the Los ange Jelis area, you know
Speaker 2: where to Goosh Bailey Crazy.
Speaker 1: The director will be there live answering questions, doing a
Speaker 1: Q and A. They're showing a couple bonus things that night.
Speaker 1: Go check it out. Brindad doing some great stuff lately,
Speaker 1: and it's a nice big venue, fits like four hundred
Speaker 1: and fifty people, I think something like that, So please
Speaker 1: go check it out. We'd love to have you recent
Speaker 1: watches anything else that you want to throw out there
Speaker 1: other than the one film.
Speaker 2: I was going to say some of the stuff I
Speaker 2: think we're going to talk about at the end when
Speaker 2: we talk about video game stuff, if that maybe gives
Speaker 2: a little bit of it away.
Speaker 3: In terms of the most recent thing I saw in theaters.
Speaker 2: I like many people finish Stranger Things. Maybe not everybody
Speaker 2: in your chat did, but I was part of the
Speaker 2: group of people that had been watching it since it
Speaker 2: came out, so and I enjoyed it for the most
Speaker 2: part the entire time, So finish the show. I like,
Speaker 2: not going to go into my complaints or issues with it,
Speaker 2: but it it was fine. It was not nearly as
Speaker 2: bad as Game of Thrones or the other comparatives it's
Speaker 2: been getting. Went and rewatched All the Righteous Gemstones, which
Speaker 2: if you've never seen that, check it out. It is
Speaker 2: now over as of last year, and it's a great show.
Speaker 2: It's on HBO Max and I'm sure you can find
Speaker 2: it other places. Also started watching Fallout. If you can't
Speaker 2: tell there's a little bit of a Walton Goggins theme here. Well,
Speaker 2: rewatched the first season of Fallout and then started on
Speaker 2: the second season of Fallout, and then after that I
Speaker 2: think I'm going to transition into a rewatch of Arrested
Speaker 2: Development of all things.
Speaker 1: Honestly, not a bad idea. It's been a while for
Speaker 1: me too.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I.
Speaker 2: Will say that when I was in college, a lot
Speaker 2: of the people I was friends with and some of
Speaker 2: them I'm still friends with, overquoted that show and it
Speaker 2: was Justified as a good option.
Speaker 1: I loved Justified, same.
Speaker 2: Same, Justified is great. I still remember that first the
Speaker 2: opening scene with the gentleman who just passed away a
Speaker 2: couple of weeks ago. Him and Timothy Olafon are in
Speaker 2: that first scene together, the guy who plays the villain
Speaker 2: in the mask. Oh yes said from pulp Fiction. I
Speaker 2: remember that opening scene of the show. Is just so
Speaker 2: well done and so well shot. But yeah, a lot
Speaker 2: of Walton Goggin's going around.
Speaker 3: But yeah, I've been.
Speaker 2: Watching more TV than movies. Watched all the Scream movies again,
Speaker 2: watched them with a friend of mine who had never
Speaker 2: seen them because her and I are going to go
Speaker 2: see Scream seven next month, which you and I are
Speaker 2: going to talk about. So just been rewatching a lot
Speaker 2: of stuff. And yeah, like I said, Arrested Development is next.
Speaker 2: So I'm excited to to rewatch that, get some of.
Speaker 1: Those Peter Green was green.
Speaker 2: Yeah, excited to see arrested Development again and and reappreciate that.
Speaker 2: So who knows.
Speaker 1: Laura has still never seen Arrested Development. And I need
Speaker 1: to figure out if it's for type of comedy or not,
Speaker 1: because God is it's so good.
Speaker 3: You'll know by the end of that first episode.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And to be fair, like it's a pretty easy watch.
Speaker 2: And I have already told my friend lindsay, like, well,
Speaker 2: I'm not watching the fourth season.
Speaker 1: So happy birthday, Brandon, enjoy your night. Enjoy it.
Speaker 3: Squirld's not that whack.
Speaker 1: Come on, it's it's pretty whack.
Speaker 2: It's it's real whack.
Speaker 1: Why is Ryan at a seafood restaurant?
Speaker 2: It does the wood paneling? You look like you're in
Speaker 2: a long John Silvers.
Speaker 1: It's a seafood restaurant. And Satanism.
Speaker 3: Wow, Satanism and seafood brought us to this.
Speaker 1: That was amazing. I am at my sister in law's
Speaker 1: house because I'm flying on an airplane early tomorrow morning,
Speaker 1: so I needed to get close to the airport.
Speaker 2: I think now for your for your sister's either birthday
Speaker 2: or for Christmas, you should buy her a a a
Speaker 2: captain's wheel for her wall to replace behind you.
Speaker 3: But does she already have one?
Speaker 1: Maybe because it's kind of the perfect room for that.
Speaker 2: Honestly, it is the wall color and everything, the waist
Speaker 2: high wood paneling, My guy Satan secred shellfish with Satan. Everybody,
Speaker 2: what have you been watching? I know you haven't had
Speaker 2: a lot of time this just.
Speaker 1: This last week was just those three that I mentioned, Blair,
Speaker 1: Witch and the Boys next Door. Those are the big
Speaker 1: ones for me. And then of course we showed the
Speaker 1: kids sixth Cents and then a whole bunch of stuff
Speaker 1: for antenna. That big thing, the big thing is so
Speaker 1: much for antenna. I'm watching countless movies this last week.
Speaker 1: There was one that I don't know it just to
Speaker 1: share some of these things, like this one movie. It
Speaker 1: started off a little rocky, and then after about ten
Speaker 1: or twelve minutes it started to get enjoyable in a
Speaker 1: way where I could see a lot of potential. But
Speaker 1: it was like, I don't want to put eighty minutes
Speaker 1: into potential, So I did watch it at one point
Speaker 1: two to five speed for a little while, and all
Speaker 1: of the potential was literally in like a ten minute scene.
Speaker 1: So I'm glad that I did that. But there's so
Speaker 1: much out there that people are sending in that it's
Speaker 1: tough to I don't know, it's tough to assess these things,
Speaker 1: and you can't just do it off the rip. It's
Speaker 1: not you know, sometimes the first ten minutes are not
Speaker 1: great and you really got into it. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Well, and I think it's important that we're giving these
Speaker 2: movies a fair shake, you know, because yeah, some people
Speaker 2: only Yeah I've heard about people not even watching the
Speaker 2: movies making decisions on them.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that certainly has happened in life.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've heard of these things being a thing.
Speaker 2: Yeah. No, I was going to say, like, you know,
Speaker 2: the outside of the antenna releasing stuff that I've been watching, which,
Speaker 2: like you said, is absorbed most of my time because
Speaker 2: I've been spending a lot of time trying to figure
Speaker 2: out where Buzzy is. Frankly, where is Buzzy? Hashtag? Where
Speaker 2: is Buzzy?
Speaker 1: It's a great question, and hopefully we find out at
Speaker 1: some point. Silent Man will watch Heart Boiled in the theater,
Speaker 1: and good gosh, I wish I could see Heart Boiled
Speaker 1: in the theater right now. I wanted to get out
Speaker 1: this last weekend. Honestly, I'm still crushed. I haven't been
Speaker 1: able to see the new twenty eight years later yet.
Speaker 1: I'm really hoping to be able to go that and
Speaker 1: then our boy, you and I both really enjoy Sam Raimi.
Speaker 1: He's got a new one out this weekend.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's help, the one with Dylan O'Brien.
Speaker 1: Dylan O'Brien, somebody, I love you Baker not well. I
Speaker 1: wish more people had watched that because that episode is hilarious.
Speaker 2: But to be fair, the three people that needed to
Speaker 2: have been there were there, You, Me and Billy. It's true,
Speaker 2: It's true, Dylan O'Brien and Dylan Baker. Everybody. No way
Speaker 2: those two should have ever been confused for one another.
Speaker 2: But here I am doing the Lord's.
Speaker 1: Work, all right? Anything else, anything else for your your
Speaker 1: podcast you want to hype up coming out or recently
Speaker 1: out finished Chasing Chevy Chase.
Speaker 2: That's right, Yeah, the Chasing Chevy Chase podcast, or the
Speaker 2: Chasing Chevy Cast as we like to call it. We
Speaker 2: actually recorded our final final episode last night, because you know,
Speaker 2: when a Chevy Chase documentary comes out the same year
Speaker 2: you're ending your Chevy Chase centric podcasts. I would say
Speaker 2: it's kind of important to talk about the only Chevy
Speaker 2: Chase documentary that there will probably ever be, So if
Speaker 2: you have not watched it, I would go check it out.
Speaker 2: I don't know if it's going to change anybody's mind
Speaker 2: about Chevy Chase. I don't think that's the point. Marina Zenanovich,
Speaker 2: she is a great filmmaker. She's a great documentarian. She
Speaker 2: did the documentary on Lance Armstrong, not the Alex Gibney one,
Speaker 2: but the one where it's just Lance in all upper case.
Speaker 2: She also did the Roman Polanski documentary. So she is
Speaker 2: the kind of film maker who can take these kinds
Speaker 2: of people to task, and she pushes back on Chevy
Speaker 2: Chase a lot, which which I'm sure most of you
Speaker 2: have seen the clip of him going you're not you're
Speaker 2: not bright enough to understand me. And that's about the
Speaker 2: level of assholary that it gets to in the documentary.
Speaker 2: I mean again, he's kind of known for being prickly
Speaker 2: and kind of he's a lot, and so I don't
Speaker 2: think the documentary does a lot to change opinions, but
Speaker 2: I think it does, at least for some people. Maybe
Speaker 2: give insight as to why he is the way that
Speaker 2: he is. And it's weird to me that the reasons
Speaker 2: that come out in the documentary as to why he
Speaker 2: is the way that he is, he never used those
Speaker 2: as an excuse, which is kind of shocking. I think
Speaker 2: he just maybe enjoys being himself a little too much.
Speaker 2: So if you've never seen it, if you have any
Speaker 2: interest in Chevy Chase, go check it out. But yeah,
Speaker 2: that's the last episode of our show, is the Chase.
Speaker 2: The Chasing Chevy podcast is going to be on the
Speaker 2: Chevy Chase documentary. We had not intended on doing it.
Speaker 2: We had intended on finishing on The Last Laugh, which
Speaker 2: was a twenty nineteen Richard Dreyfus Chevy Chase Netflix film,
Speaker 2: which felt rather apropos given the title. But we ended
Speaker 2: up doing the I'm Chevy Chase and You're Not documentary,
Speaker 2: which I mean again, was a good time. We had
Speaker 2: our friend Rod lot of panic attack or film attack.
Speaker 2: He joined us and it was great. And if Chevy
Speaker 2: Chase is the thing you're into, I would say watch
Speaker 2: the documentary and then if you want to hear some
Speaker 2: people talk about it. I don't know how many people
Speaker 2: are really engaging in conversation about it. Check out the
Speaker 2: episode when it comes out here in a couple months,
Speaker 2: probably three months.
Speaker 1: Speaking of Dylan O'Brien says, Reggie has Twinless been announced
Speaker 1: for a physical media release, not yet, and I freaking
Speaker 1: it better come out because that movie is god dang incredible.
Speaker 1: It is a movie that I've seen already twice in
Speaker 1: the last few months, and I've preached it everywhere. I mean, Craig,
Speaker 1: go and see it. And he's saying, if not, I
Speaker 1: know a label, Craig, please go get Twinless. I would
Speaker 1: work my ass off to make that release. Amazing. God, Yeah,
Speaker 1: somebody put it out. Thanks Sam, appreciate you.
Speaker 2: I'm still waiting. I'm still waiting to watch it. I
Speaker 2: haven't watched yet, but I know you have. When I
Speaker 2: watch it, I'm sure I will come back to you
Speaker 2: and sing your sing your choice praises of telling me
Speaker 2: to watch it. So I'm going to watch it in
Speaker 2: the next week. I'm gonna avail myself of that. But yeah,
Speaker 2: I have heard nothing but good things, specifically from you
Speaker 2: about it.
Speaker 1: I preach about it quite a bit. That is all
Speaker 1: I've got. Don't forget after the announcements real quick. We're
Speaker 1: gonna be talking about video game adaptations after that, and
Speaker 1: save up your answers. We can talk about those then,
Speaker 1: but let's break into it. This is gonna be weird
Speaker 1: for me because I don't have my second monitor like
Speaker 1: I usually do, so I'm gonna have to go back
Speaker 1: and forth on some tabs here Chroma, Glad you made
Speaker 1: it the other chat. That's why I always try to
Speaker 1: make the comment that if you're in the portrait chat,
Speaker 1: you can come over to the landscape and join everybody else,
Speaker 1: all right. So via Vision in Australia releasing Sheena the
Speaker 1: Collection on March twenty fifth on Blu Ray and DVD. Essentially,
Speaker 1: we've got the film on Blu Ray and then the
Speaker 1: thirty five episodes of the TV show on DVD and
Speaker 1: that is it. There are some extras here, but really
Speaker 1: there's not a ton here to make this something enticing
Speaker 1: for people. It's a good looking release, though if you
Speaker 1: don't have any of these, yeah, Shina, have you ever
Speaker 1: seen anything Shina?
Speaker 2: I have not.
Speaker 3: I like the box art though.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it does look good.
Speaker 2: It looks it looks well made, which you know you're
Speaker 2: not a guarantee anymore.
Speaker 1: That is true, although this is from nineteen eighty four
Speaker 1: in two thousand, so yeah, next up, this is a
Speaker 1: really important announcement. So February twenty fourth, Strand Releasing is
Speaker 1: putting out Pink Narcissus from nineteen seventy one. For those
Speaker 1: that have never heard of this film, this says a
Speaker 1: young hustler escapes from the harsh realities of street life
Speaker 1: and into a series of lushy, erotic dream worlds while
Speaker 1: waiting for his next client in James Bidgood's legendary underground classic.
Speaker 1: This is a big, big title and kind of wild
Speaker 1: that it's just now getting its first HD release. But
Speaker 1: I really hope people check this out. I do wish
Speaker 1: it was somebody that was not Strand Releasing, if I
Speaker 1: could be a little selfish and honest, because Strand, while
Speaker 1: they do okay work, I feel like another label could
Speaker 1: have done much better, including Craig, who's saying we were
Speaker 1: looking into this and we were too late. Yeah, this
Speaker 1: would have been a great title for Dev Crocodile for sure.
Speaker 2: I've heard you sing the praises of this privately, and
Speaker 2: I am excited to watch it. I'll tell you that much.
Speaker 1: So yeah, we got a couple things here too. By
Speaker 1: the way, there's an interview with James Bidgood that's from
Speaker 1: the BFI and then it's a four K or sorry,
Speaker 1: there is a four K restoration post screening Q and
Speaker 1: A with John Waters and Kelly mccig. But there's really
Speaker 1: not a lot on this film for the foundation of
Speaker 1: what it is. I feel like we really could have
Speaker 1: had a lot more context on this disc and that's why, like,
Speaker 1: at this point, I would love to see maybe like
Speaker 1: Radiance pick us up in the UK or I don't know,
Speaker 1: there's some other labels I could do well with it,
Speaker 1: but I feel like Radiance would absolutely crush it. Good
Speaker 1: movie though, check it out. Next up, Keno in the
Speaker 1: US is putting out Jory from nineteen seventy three with
Speaker 1: the new four K restoration. We don't have a release
Speaker 1: date on it yet, but this is the Robbie Benson
Speaker 1: starring film, and it says Jory's a fifteen year old
Speaker 1: boy who joins a horse drive after his father is
Speaker 1: killed by a drunkard. The drives leader, in a likable Cowahan,
Speaker 1: takes the boy under their wing and find that tragedy
Speaker 1: has taught him how to take care of himself better
Speaker 1: than anyone could expect. I had never even heard of
Speaker 1: this film. Have you heard of this?
Speaker 2: Nope?
Speaker 1: What name though?
Speaker 3: BJ Thomas?
Speaker 2: Though, like rain drops are falling on my head, BJ Thomas,
Speaker 2: I've got I believe so wow.
Speaker 1: Okay, I mean it is from nineteen seventy three. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I was gonna say, like, I only know one BJ Thomas,
Speaker 2: and it's that one. So I'm gonna get that, all right.
Speaker 1: H Next up, we've got from Warner Archive a four
Speaker 1: film collection of Tennessee Williams films, coming on March seventeenth,
Speaker 1: all on Blu Ray. Now again, these have all been
Speaker 1: previously released, they sold well enough, and now they've come
Speaker 1: together and put this release together to essentially just be
Speaker 1: cheaper for everybody. This is an interesting release. Glad that
Speaker 1: it's coming out there. That being said, the film's here.
Speaker 1: We got cat On a Hot Tin Roof, Sweet Bird
Speaker 1: of Youth, Vady Doll, and a street car named Desire.
Speaker 1: What hurts here is this pretty much confirms that a
Speaker 1: street car name Desire will not be four K anytime soon,
Speaker 1: and that feels like that should not be the case.
Speaker 1: It is such a quintessentially huge film. I feel like
Speaker 1: somebody could be doing great with that right now.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a I mean, I wouldn't say one of
Speaker 2: these things is not like the other, but one of
Speaker 2: these things is significance is a little bit more apparent
Speaker 2: than the other three. Uh yeah, I will say though
Speaker 2: it's special features is the room on here. I have
Speaker 2: heard that that film has the passion of Tennessee Williams,
Speaker 2: according to the director of the film.
Speaker 1: Anyways, according to one person, yes, a.
Speaker 2: M yeah, that's interesting. I'm this is shocking. This c
Speaker 2: street car name desire in there with the other three. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: huh okay, uh yeah, that's.
Speaker 1: A good call. Colton cat on a hit, Hotson Roof
Speaker 1: is on Criterions Prize. They aren't gunning for those others.
Speaker 1: It's a good call. One thing I will point out,
Speaker 1: because I did make a note of this their artwork
Speaker 1: when they put this out up. You'll notice Williams spelled wrong. Okay.
Speaker 2: I was about to say, please tell me that Williams
Speaker 2: is spelled with two l's or that I just didn't
Speaker 2: realize it was one hell up to this point because.
Speaker 1: It was.
Speaker 2: With the passionate of Tennessee Williams. That's what I would
Speaker 2: have expected from Tommy Wizo, frankly not or I guess
Speaker 2: Warner Archives soon to be Warner Archive owned by Netflix, So.
Speaker 1: I don't like that. So I just wanted to bring
Speaker 1: some faith back to humanity. I put this out and
Speaker 1: Warner Archives said, we saw your notes, we have fixed
Speaker 1: the artwork, and we have fixed it. And they did
Speaker 1: send me the proper artwork after this, so it is done.
Speaker 1: When you buy this, it will not only have one L.
Speaker 1: You can rest.
Speaker 2: Assured instead of having one L, it will just be
Speaker 2: a W will be replaced with a Z.
Speaker 3: S will be Tennessee zillions.
Speaker 1: So either that or Tennessee will have no double letters,
Speaker 1: will just be T E N E S E.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, now that would be That's what I
Speaker 2: would do.
Speaker 1: So but Williams would have like five bells.
Speaker 2: Yeah, good Tennessee Williams. Now it sounds like we're from
Speaker 2: the Deep South.
Speaker 1: Except you have to really put the emphasis on the
Speaker 1: E and we, so it's wee Liams Tennessee Williams. Next up,
Speaker 1: MGM already showing the fruits of that the agreement they
Speaker 1: just put out with Allons. So February tenth, they're putting
Speaker 1: out a Blu Ray DVD of Jack and Sarah from
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety six. No extras on the disc, but this
Speaker 1: is what you're going to get. There is a big
Speaker 1: deal Judy Denchian McKellen and the film together. This is
Speaker 1: a rough looking cover on this.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is I don't even know what to say.
Speaker 2: I mean minimal. I mean, let me put it this way.
Speaker 2: If you didn't want me to know it was a
Speaker 2: movie from the nineties, you didn't do a very good job.
Speaker 2: Because this, I mean, this looks like just like, this
Speaker 2: looks like it could have been coming out at the
Speaker 2: same time as Janine Garoffalo Uma Thurman rom Coms because
Speaker 2: it yep and yeah and yeah, Richard, what's weird is
Speaker 2: from that angle, young Richard Grant looks like Gary Oldman.
Speaker 1: Ooh, he does a little bit.
Speaker 2: It does a little bit. Yeah, it's the hair. I
Speaker 2: think it's the I think it's the hair. Yeah, never
Speaker 2: seen it. I mean looks interesting. I love Richard D.
Speaker 2: Grant talk about a long tail on his career being
Speaker 2: relevant twenty twenty six.
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, it looks I.
Speaker 2: Mean the cover art looks awful and the fact that
Speaker 2: they don't have Judy Denser Ian McKellen mentioned anywhere is
Speaker 2: also very amusing. But they do have a break, so
Speaker 2: I mean, wow, nothing more nineties than that.
Speaker 1: Next up from Bizarre Theater, releasing on February twelfth, you
Speaker 1: can pick up a double feature of Firework and Do
Speaker 1: Not Disturb from twenty seventeen to twenty eighteen. These are
Speaker 1: by the filmmaker David M. Dawson. Firework is about two
Speaker 1: slackers of barking on a relaxing getaway over the Fourth
Speaker 1: of July weekend, only to find the seclusions slowly chipping
Speaker 1: away their sanity. And do not Disturb says Jordan searches
Speaker 1: for meaning while unintentionally reuniting with his old friends and
Speaker 1: old life. To me, de sound and look very unassuming.
Speaker 1: But Bizarre Theater releasing. Technically not every film, but most
Speaker 1: films are on the what is the best way to
Speaker 1: say this underground disturbing film variety, like shock films.
Speaker 3: Like the Big Experiment type stuff.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, stuff like that. Funny enough, I showed Billy
Speaker 1: Rayseldon like that today and Antenna is considering one like that.
Speaker 2: Oh fun I mean, I'm game, I you know, look,
Speaker 2: you know, I think that the world is in much
Speaker 2: more need of like Faces of Death ten or whatever
Speaker 2: we would be at at this point.
Speaker 1: It is a bad week to mention that. You do
Speaker 1: you know they're putting on the Faces of Death remake.
Speaker 3: I do know, I do know. I saw that's the joke.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, job Okay, just making sure.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I mean, look like, shock films have been
Speaker 2: a dime a dozen for as long as people have
Speaker 2: been trying to get a rise out of each other.
Speaker 2: You know, I love a good Serbian film and salo
Speaker 2: like the next person. So it's true.
Speaker 1: Well, now that we've talked about a shock film, you
Speaker 1: want to talk about one of the biggest pieces of
Speaker 1: news from this week. We got confirmation over at my
Speaker 1: buddy Jake from steel Book Obsessed channel that Lionsgate will
Speaker 1: be releasing Kill Bill the Whole Bloody Affair on home
Speaker 1: video this year twenty twenty six. Now, the current rumor
Speaker 1: is listing an April date for that. Now, that does
Speaker 1: not mean that we know if that is pre order
Speaker 1: date or actual release date, but it sounds like before
Speaker 1: the middle of summer you will likely be able to
Speaker 1: get your hands on Kill Bill the whole bloody fair. Now,
Speaker 1: I don't remember. Did you go see this in theater
Speaker 1: just a month and a half ago or two months ago?
Speaker 1: I don't think so, right.
Speaker 2: I'm not a Tarantino guy, So this was not on
Speaker 2: my I know, I know you, I remember you and
Speaker 2: I had this conversation. It's just it's not my bag.
Speaker 2: I know that the people who went and saw it
Speaker 2: enjoyed it immensely. I did not go and see it,
Speaker 2: and kill Bill would not be the if there were
Speaker 2: to be a Tarantino film to come back to theaters
Speaker 2: for me to watch. There are like two or three
Speaker 2: of them that I did see in theaters that I
Speaker 2: would go back and rewatch.
Speaker 3: Kill Bill is not one of them. So and I
Speaker 3: will leave it at that.
Speaker 2: But I know how important this is for a large
Speaker 2: group of film going people to be able to have
Speaker 2: this version of the movie at home for them to watch,
Speaker 2: and not the kind of fan versions or all the
Speaker 2: other myriad of versions that it existed in downloadable forms
Speaker 2: for the last like ten, ten, fifteen years now.
Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, this is, like you said, this is
Speaker 1: the big deal for lots of reasons. One of the
Speaker 1: big ones is it is a filmmaker's voice and passion
Speaker 1: for a very specific film finally being able to be
Speaker 1: realized in his complete version. And I will say, after
Speaker 1: having seen it in the theater with with my buddy
Speaker 1: KB here who's in the chat, we were shoulder to
Speaker 1: shoulder for this movie, and it is it is the
Speaker 1: way to see this film. I will say that obviously
Speaker 1: I was a fan of Kill Bill one and two
Speaker 1: the first time, but there's something special about the proper
Speaker 1: edit here and then the like the colorization of the
Speaker 1: Lucy Lou sequence and the extended anime scene which maybe
Speaker 1: is a little too long now but it's still very
Speaker 1: cool to see in the middle of it.
Speaker 2: Go ahead, I guess I did forget that this happened
Speaker 2: last couple months. Tarantino is a real asshole everybody, It's true, yes, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: So there's also that, so I hashtag Paul Dano and
Speaker 2: Matt Lillard. Sorry I take their sides and all this. Yeah, actually,
Speaker 2: you know what I forgot? No, no, let me walk
Speaker 2: this all back. Tarantino should put his foot in his mouth,
Speaker 2: which he would really like so, or maybe he should
Speaker 2: put someone else's foot in his mouth, which he would
Speaker 2: like even more. And he should stop talking about other
Speaker 2: actors because have you seen Tarantino as an actor? His
Speaker 2: Australian accent is terrible.
Speaker 1: The funny thing is, I think pretty much everybody agrees.
Speaker 1: I don't think anybody agrees with his opinions on stuff.
Speaker 1: But good movie. Check it out. I'm glad it's coming
Speaker 1: out on home video. I'm glad that we waited and
Speaker 1: did not confirm that this was coming out until there
Speaker 1: was confirmation. Unlike some other people that jumped the gun
Speaker 1: and claimed it is one hundred percent happening, you had
Speaker 1: no idea this is good, This is good.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think this is good for the industry, and
Speaker 2: I will say that it's good for the industry in
Speaker 2: a way that the Snyder cut is good for the industry.
Speaker 1: This will sell like fucking hotcakes. That's the other thing.
Speaker 1: I apologize in advance. But when this comes out, I
Speaker 1: don't usually say you need to jump on something quickly.
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to fomo ever or something like that.
Speaker 1: But if you want this, you probably should get it
Speaker 1: really damn quick. When it gets fully announced up for
Speaker 1: pre order.
Speaker 2: I may buy it just so I can have it
Speaker 2: to sell it to somebody else. No, seriously, like not
Speaker 2: at like an exorbitant markup, but like if this is
Speaker 2: a thing like that, if someone in the future wouldn't
Speaker 2: have it, I'd.
Speaker 3: Be like, why I have a copy of this? Would
Speaker 3: you like to buy it from me?
Speaker 2: Like, because that's a thing, right, Like, probably will be
Speaker 2: plenty of these to go around, though, I'm not going
Speaker 2: to just make five of them, you know.
Speaker 1: So that being said there the lines gate, Well, it'll
Speaker 1: be a wide release too. I'm mostly talking about if
Speaker 1: you want the special another community get limited. The highest
Speaker 1: print run they've had on that site so far, I
Speaker 1: believe is ten thousand, which that's a big number, but
Speaker 1: not a crazy number like Vinegar Syndrome sold twelve thousand
Speaker 1: plus copies of The Keep in thirty hours. This is
Speaker 1: going to sell very very well.
Speaker 2: This is going to sell a lot in a very
Speaker 2: short period of time.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and if it does, it'll be printing money for
Speaker 1: twenty four hours. Yeah.
Speaker 2: And you know what, good for them because again, like you,
Speaker 2: like you said, like as much as I don't like
Speaker 2: him as a person, I can respect his choices as
Speaker 2: a filmmaker from time to time.
Speaker 3: But this is a good thing for the industry.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because, like you said, embracing a filmmaker's voice and
Speaker 2: passion is important. Do I like the person that it is?
Speaker 3: No, but I can.
Speaker 2: Respect the things that you know, he has brought to
Speaker 2: the industry and the directions. You know, he's allowed people
Speaker 2: to appreciate other things that they would never have gone
Speaker 2: out and watched otherwise.
Speaker 1: So nine Bolt in the chat, I'm gonna make you
Speaker 1: very unhappy right now, he says. The lines get uhgs
Speaker 1: of Kill Bill one and two look like absolute dogshit.
Speaker 1: Is this a new transfer? No, it still has that
Speaker 1: sort of waxy look. Definitely look that way in the theater.
Speaker 1: It is only going to be that exact same one again.
Speaker 1: And yes, Zepam lines Gate Limited still only ships in
Speaker 1: the US. However, they do shift to reshippers, so if
Speaker 1: you're overseas and you have a reshipping service that you use,
Speaker 1: you can purchase and get it sent there.
Speaker 2: So with the with the print that they were using,
Speaker 2: the waxiness is what what is that attributed to?
Speaker 1: It's inherent to the negative. And I believe it's only
Speaker 1: a two KDI because of the film itself, and I
Speaker 1: I I don't know. For some reason, that's the look
Speaker 1: that they it's though, yeah, yeah, gotcha.
Speaker 2: By the way, in case anyone's curious, Inglorious Bastards, Django, Unchained,
Speaker 2: and Hateful later the three movies I would go rewatch
Speaker 2: in theaters and Jackie Boy. I've never seen Jackie Brown.
Speaker 1: Ooh, that could be Chris's favorite.
Speaker 2: I mean, my friend Lindsey likes it a lot. I
Speaker 2: actually I think one of the first times I went
Speaker 2: over to her apartment, she was watching it and we
Speaker 2: ended up putting on something else. So I've never seen it,
Speaker 2: so I can't speak on that one. I mean, Reservoir
Speaker 2: Dogs is still for me kind of best worst entry
Speaker 2: point for him, So, you know, worst because it's my favorite,
Speaker 2: and there I felt like there was no nothing pasted
Speaker 2: it best because I like it so much.
Speaker 1: So how do you feel about Deathproof? Have you seen
Speaker 1: that one?
Speaker 3: I mean death Proof?
Speaker 2: For me the longest time, Deathproof was my favorite Tarantino thing,
Speaker 2: and it probably in a lot of ways like it is,
Speaker 2: but it's so it is a Tarantino thing, but it's
Speaker 2: so not a Tarantino thing at the same time, like
Speaker 2: it is, but it isn't death I mean death Proof.
Speaker 3: Stuntman Mike Kurt Russell.
Speaker 2: I mean, my god, I remember speaking of something like
Speaker 2: K'll bild a bloody affair. I went and saw I
Speaker 2: had the opportunity and privilege to see the Grindhouse thing
Speaker 2: when it came out, the whole hut, and I mean
Speaker 2: I remember just being so taken by it then, and man,
Speaker 2: I would you know what, I would go watch that
Speaker 2: in theaters again if they were like, we're gonna re
Speaker 2: release that with all the trailers and maybe even do
Speaker 2: some new trailers type thing, Like, man, I would show
Speaker 2: up in a heartbeat for that, because that was my
Speaker 2: shit back in the day. Like I'm not a Tarantino guy.
Speaker 2: I'm more of a Robert Rodriguez guy, admittedly, so maybe
Speaker 2: that factors into it. I know that they're kind of
Speaker 2: one a in a lot of ways.
Speaker 1: So but yeah, about two and a half years ago,
Speaker 1: I did get a chance to go see it in
Speaker 1: the theater again, So I was really glad I got
Speaker 1: to see it.
Speaker 2: It's amazing.
Speaker 3: It literally is such a fun experience.
Speaker 1: Let's talk about one of the other top biggest news
Speaker 1: of the week. We are going to talk about another
Speaker 1: huge director, George A. Romero's Bruiser getting a four K
Speaker 1: release here in the US from Keno Lrber sometime. We
Speaker 1: don't have a release date yet. But this is a
Speaker 1: big deal because this was one of the films that
Speaker 1: famous horder and greedmaster mister Rubinstein had been holding on
Speaker 1: to This and Dono the Dead and some others, and
Speaker 1: in the US his rights for these have been tied
Speaker 1: up for a while. I'm very curious to see either
Speaker 1: how they got this away from him, or if they
Speaker 1: got him to acquiesce for much smaller money or something
Speaker 1: like that. Very very interesting situation. Have you ever seen Bruiser?
Speaker 2: I have not?
Speaker 1: Should I yes, it is underrated, and well, the biggest
Speaker 1: thing is it's under seen. Most people have never seen Bruiser.
Speaker 1: That's not an uncommon thing. It's it's George A. Ramerow.
Speaker 1: So it's something that people are gonna see the big
Speaker 1: titles overlook this one and call it a day basically, which.
Speaker 2: It's not great by the way. I don't like that,
Speaker 2: thinking like a lot of director's best movies are not
Speaker 2: the thing they're most known for.
Speaker 1: So yeah, it's a good movie. Though it is, it
Speaker 1: is underrepresented, it is pretty creepy. For a lot of
Speaker 1: other directors. It is going to be something that you know,
Speaker 1: other people wish that they could make a movie like Bruiser,
Speaker 1: And it's because it's George A. Rammero. It's always gonna
Speaker 1: be held up to. Well, it's not Day of the Dead,
Speaker 1: it's not not The Living Dead.
Speaker 2: So I know some people that say it's not Creep
Speaker 2: Show that's their favorite Romero movie, looking at you, Father Malone,
Speaker 2: I guess father malone favorite His is Gone to the Dead,
Speaker 2: probably by a leaps and margins. But creep Show, I
Speaker 2: know for a lot of people's also up there, you know.
Speaker 2: I mean, fuck, Martin is up there for some people
Speaker 2: as well.
Speaker 1: Martin is great. Martin is great.
Speaker 2: That's the thing when people talk about Romero only like
Speaker 2: I only know that. Like, man, there are so many
Speaker 2: good Romero movies out there, you know. I mean, I'm
Speaker 2: even a fan of Night Writers, which I don't know,
Speaker 2: like talk about an underseen movie, talk about a weird
Speaker 2: concept ed Harris as a motorcycle jousting, true, Like what
Speaker 2: a strange concept that works?
Speaker 1: Though. So this film, for those that have never seen it,
Speaker 1: the synopsis here is, after years of being browbeaten and
Speaker 1: walked on, a man wakes one day wearing an expressionless
Speaker 1: mask fitted with the personality that enables him to take revenge.
Speaker 1: And yes, Robert is correct, it is definitely more of
Speaker 1: a social satire than a whore. Don't expect like other
Speaker 1: George A. Romero films for this to be something that
Speaker 1: is explicit lee horror, because it is not. Most of
Speaker 1: his things are not.
Speaker 2: I was gonna say, like Romero's stuff is, I mean
Speaker 2: to his point, like if you were to talk about
Speaker 2: Donna the Dead, Like Donna the Dead is social satire
Speaker 2: on top of being horror. So you know, did you
Speaker 2: see this?
Speaker 1: Your mom is watching live? Oh great? And my mom
Speaker 1: was watching live earlier.
Speaker 2: I know they're all watching. They're always watching.
Speaker 1: It is not about a dog, Mike, I promise, let's say,
Speaker 1: or a wrestler.
Speaker 3: If you're into Bruiser Brody directed by George.
Speaker 1: Romero, I'd watch it.
Speaker 2: I would, Yeah, I watched it. I would watch George
Speaker 2: Romero film a biopic about Doink the Clown directed by
Speaker 2: George Romero. I watch.
Speaker 1: Uh, all right, Let's go to our next one. H
Speaker 1: Zootopia two, which came out in twenty twenty five, getting
Speaker 1: a March third four K steelebook release then a standard
Speaker 1: Blu ray and a DVD release here in the States.
Speaker 1: No standard four K, as per the usual for Disney stuff.
Speaker 1: For most of the Disney stuff. At least, this will
Speaker 1: have Delbey Yemos and Albie Vision. There's gonna be some
Speaker 1: featurettes on here, things like a piece about the zoo
Speaker 1: keepers that are giving you a tour around Walt Disney
Speaker 1: Animation studios, meeting the voice actors behind the film, sketch along,
Speaker 1: uncovering references from the film, hop inside the recording booths,
Speaker 1: all these other things. Did you see z Utopia too?
Speaker 1: I have the feeling this is not when you rushed
Speaker 1: out to see.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's not for any reason specifically. Just the
Speaker 2: first movie was fine.
Speaker 1: Yep.
Speaker 2: When did the first movie even come out? Like twenty fourteen,
Speaker 2: twenty fifty? It was like no, was said, it was
Speaker 2: like a long time ago. No, like it feels, I
Speaker 2: mean it. Maybe it was.
Speaker 1: Twenty sixteen, okay, way later.
Speaker 2: Two years off. I had not thought about Zootopia in
Speaker 2: ten years, and maybe it'll be another or ten before
Speaker 2: I have to think about it again.
Speaker 1: I don't know Zutopia came out before Coco.
Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying, dude, like Zutopia has been out
Speaker 2: a long time. Uh, you know, I don't have any
Speaker 2: like remembrance is negative or positive towards the original. I
Speaker 2: just don't remember it like sparking joy within me the
Speaker 2: way some of the other speaking of Coco, like some
Speaker 2: of the other Pixar films, definitely did and have since since.
Speaker 2: See what's weird as Utopia should have been a movie
Speaker 2: I totally vibed with, But then there were movies that
Speaker 2: came out after that that I vibed with a lot more.
Speaker 1: Utopia is not Pixar.
Speaker 2: I know, I know well, But to be fair though,
Speaker 2: like it's easy to confuse them because of the Disney
Speaker 2: of it all. And that's the thing, like I guess
Speaker 2: more for me, I haven't necessarily always vibed with Disney
Speaker 2: animation as much as I have with Pixar's animation. And
Speaker 2: you know, Frozen was Disney Animation. Frozen's five true. You
Speaker 2: know there are Disney Animation has done a lot of
Speaker 2: great stuff, Mawana, Frozen, Zutopia. The first one and second
Speaker 2: one of these movies made a lot of money and
Speaker 2: people really liked them so and I know that Zutopia
Speaker 2: I think is an important movie. The message of the
Speaker 2: first one, I'm sure is pretty important. I don't know
Speaker 2: what the message of the second one is.
Speaker 1: So the message in both is animated copaganda basically, and.
Speaker 2: So instead of ice, it's mice.
Speaker 1: Well, ice actually plays a big part in the sequel.
Speaker 1: I will say that.
Speaker 2: I swear to god.
Speaker 1: There's a frozen town. Never mind, anyway, I hope here
Speaker 1: we go. Coming on March third on Blu Ray from
Speaker 1: Sony Pictures is For All Mankind Season two. Now this
Speaker 1: is sort of weird because season two is from twenty
Speaker 1: twenty one.
Speaker 2: I was about to say this show has been out
Speaker 2: and over for years now.
Speaker 1: Yes there are what is there four seasons of the
Speaker 1: show or five something.
Speaker 2: Like yeah, but like there this season has been four years,
Speaker 2: five years ago.
Speaker 1: So uh, there are this season and more seasons on
Speaker 1: Blue Ray overseas. But we are finally catching up on
Speaker 1: the stage. Season two finally coming to Blue Ray. Not
Speaker 1: sure what happened and why the delay, but I've heard
Speaker 1: the show is great. Have you have you watched this?
Speaker 3: I haven't.
Speaker 2: It's it's on my list of things to watch. It's
Speaker 2: what like alternate history.
Speaker 1: Show of something like that.
Speaker 3: In the Space Race. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think it is.
Speaker 3: Is it Joel Kinneman?
Speaker 2: I think is in it?
Speaker 1: One of these that's the one. Yeah.
Speaker 3: I like Joel Kineman.
Speaker 2: Actually, you know, he's kind of broken away from the
Speaker 2: Sam Worthington, Jay Courtney, Charlie Hunham, all those dudes who
Speaker 2: look the same and do the same things conversation.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, he's.
Speaker 2: Broken away from that pack. I think Suicide Squad was
Speaker 2: that moment for me. And then Kineman also has a
Speaker 2: lot of really great films in his native language, which
Speaker 2: I think he's Norwegian, Finnish or Swedish. So yeah, I
Speaker 2: want to watch. It's on my list, you know, that
Speaker 2: list of ever growing things that you and I will
Speaker 2: never tackle.
Speaker 1: Yeah, completely completely understand Apple plus Physical Ghetto, which is
Speaker 1: hilarious because Sony owns the rights to the home video,
Speaker 1: so it doesn't make any sense that they would wait
Speaker 1: so long.
Speaker 3: Anyways, but ted Lasso came out on physical media.
Speaker 1: And that all of the stuff that has come out
Speaker 1: from Apple is all because the production company is ruled
Speaker 1: right a couple.
Speaker 2: Yeah, ted Lasso came out and now there's a fourth season,
Speaker 2: so that that complete addition thing that they released doesn't
Speaker 2: even hold water anymore.
Speaker 1: Not only that they released it on Blu Ray and
Speaker 1: then six months later released it on four K, and
Speaker 1: then six months after that announced a fourth season. How
Speaker 1: shitty is that?
Speaker 2: I'm just it's shocking to me, Like you knew this
Speaker 2: whole time and you did it anyways.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're not.
Speaker 3: Even gonna leave room in that box for it.
Speaker 1: Like okay, slave to Cinema tonight showing the vertical formatters
Speaker 1: my phone just going Waco. There are two streams. You
Speaker 1: can go back to YouTube and choose the landscape if
Speaker 1: you look in the title. One has landscape, one has portrait.
Speaker 1: Go choose the landscape one and you can join everybody
Speaker 1: else in the chat because most people are not in
Speaker 1: the vertical stream and we'd love to have you. Next
Speaker 1: up is Ella McKay from This Last Year, coming out
Speaker 1: on Blu Ray from Fox on March third. There will
Speaker 1: also be a DVD as well as far as featurettes.
Speaker 1: There is behind the scenes as the film stars, studed,
Speaker 1: cast and crew share their joy of working with James L. Brooks.
Speaker 1: There is a cast sit down with James O. Brooks
Speaker 1: as he talks about his cast and the actors. Some
Speaker 1: deleted scenes and all that stuff. I am very curious.
Speaker 1: I don't think you saw this.
Speaker 2: One, right, I didn't, But I like that there is
Speaker 2: a special feature about how much the cast loves working
Speaker 2: with the director.
Speaker 1: I mean it's a big deal for ja I know
Speaker 1: still be directing is huge.
Speaker 2: Oh I know, like I oh, I am well aware,
Speaker 2: and I acknowledge that completely. It's just very funny that
Speaker 2: that's like. And we love working with James L. Brooks.
Speaker 1: It's true.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean who doesn't Albert and Joe or James
Speaker 2: Albert Brooks and James L. Brooks.
Speaker 1: Good for them.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like I haven't seen it, but just looking at
Speaker 2: the cast on the DVD or the Blu ray boxer, like,
Speaker 2: my lord.
Speaker 1: So this this movie is interesting. I won't say it's
Speaker 1: a great movie. I won't say it's a bad movie.
Speaker 1: It is, okay. I feel like the characters in this
Speaker 1: movie all could have been in their own movie and
Speaker 1: it could have been more interesting than this movie. This
Speaker 1: is just very bland through and through. For example, and
Speaker 1: I know you haven't seen this, but L Mka plays
Speaker 1: somebody that becomes governor of a state. They go the
Speaker 1: entire movie without naming a state. They're in the governor's office.
Speaker 2: Worked on the Simpsons man. They never said where Springfield was.
Speaker 1: While true, I like, none of it makes it. There's
Speaker 1: no flag in the governor's office. None of it is.
Speaker 1: It's such a weird situation, strange. Is it?
Speaker 2: Like is it like heightened realism? Is it like fantastical
Speaker 2: realism in some respect?
Speaker 1: Because like.
Speaker 2: Is it? Because if you're doing that, if you're doing that,
Speaker 2: I can see it being excusable. Maybe that's the word.
Speaker 1: Maybe in a way. I mean, a couple of the
Speaker 1: things you can say are heighten realism. So maybe that's
Speaker 1: what they wanted to come across. I don't know.
Speaker 3: It doesn't look like the kind of thing I'm rushing
Speaker 3: out to see. But the James L. Brooks of it
Speaker 3: all is intriguing.
Speaker 1: That's why I forced myself to see it in the theater,
Speaker 1: because I mean, first of all, this cast is great,
Speaker 1: some great names here and James L. Brooks, and then
Speaker 1: it just did not work fully. Yeah, let's see going
Speaker 1: to the next one, VHS Halloween. We've spent some good
Speaker 1: time talking about VHS films. April seventh, Blu Ray DVD
Speaker 1: coming from Shutter Did you see the newest one. I
Speaker 1: have not seen this yet.
Speaker 2: I have not seen this one yet. I actually was
Speaker 2: trying to have to watch all of them, actually have
Speaker 2: them all in my possession, as it were, and I've
Speaker 2: been waiting to watch them.
Speaker 3: Love the first one.
Speaker 2: I love that the first one has had like three movies,
Speaker 2: three full ass movies come out of that movie.
Speaker 3: It was I the first or the second VHS.
Speaker 2: I think it's had like full ass movie adaptations of
Speaker 2: those short films in there. I really really really like
Speaker 2: the VHS movies and the VHS yeah format. I've heard
Speaker 2: this one's good, like actually very good.
Speaker 1: How do you feel about the rest of them? I mean,
Speaker 1: I know you like them. Is there like a certain ranking?
Speaker 1: Is there one that you think is the best? By far?
Speaker 2: The first one is still the best one for me.
Speaker 2: I think the first one has the the first one
Speaker 2: has I think for me the most. I like the
Speaker 2: framing device in the first one. I think is probably
Speaker 2: also the wrap around that they use. I think after
Speaker 2: that first one, I'm not sure. I'm such a big
Speaker 2: fan of the wrap rounds, which I think the first
Speaker 2: one kind of checks all the boxes for me. What
Speaker 2: about you?
Speaker 1: I think the first has the best segment. But I
Speaker 1: actually really like the reboot that they've done with like
Speaker 1: these last few years after the first three, I feel
Speaker 1: like the newest ones on Shutter have been very good surprisingly.
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah yeah, those I have not seen as many
Speaker 2: times I think also obviously, like I've seen the first
Speaker 2: one a lot, so that maybe contributes to it as well.
Speaker 1: So yeah, check it out, check it out. I need
Speaker 1: to see this one for sure. March twenty third, Vertigo
Speaker 1: over in the UK is putting out Saipan from twenty
Speaker 1: twenty five. This is Yanna Hardwicck and Steve Coogan. Look
Speaker 1: at how much Steve Coogan is channeling is ill Enter
Speaker 1: like Glenn Close here?
Speaker 2: What is what is this?
Speaker 1: This looks not soccer movie? Yeah, I think so. It
Speaker 1: says the thrilling story of the infamous confrontation between iconic
Speaker 1: Republic of the Ireland football captain Roy Keane and his
Speaker 1: national team manager Mick McCarthy during the Irish team's preparations
Speaker 1: for the two thousand and two feet of World Cup,
Speaker 1: and for Steve Coogan to be playing one of these
Speaker 1: people is wild.
Speaker 3: Well it's not an act movie, but it sure looks
Speaker 3: like one.
Speaker 1: They want you to take this very seriously.
Speaker 2: Maybe it'll be good. I love Steve Coogan.
Speaker 1: He's great. Looks a lot like glenk close to the
Speaker 1: side program.
Speaker 2: It looks yeah, I don't know, like, yeah, I'm not
Speaker 2: sure what energy we're attempting to channel.
Speaker 1: Here changing where I'm sitting. Sorry, all right, so that's.
Speaker 2: Oh did you have to slide down in the booth
Speaker 2: a little bit where you're getting uncomfortable? Are they kicking
Speaker 2: you out? I guess it is nine longer. Yeah, I'm
Speaker 2: much longer at Captain D's. Are you allowed to be
Speaker 2: there before they kick you out? Captain Peese? Isn't that
Speaker 2: the other place? That's bogg John Silver's adjacent? Like and people.
Speaker 2: I mean, look, if you go and eat seafood from
Speaker 2: a fast food restaurant.
Speaker 1: Listen, I don't know, is underrated?
Speaker 2: That should be on your tombstone.
Speaker 1: It might be if I ever eat there again.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was about to say if that Ryan Beryl's
Speaker 2: last words were long John Silvers is underrated.
Speaker 1: Back in the day, it wasn't terrible. I've not had
Speaker 1: long John Silvers in god eighteen years.
Speaker 2: Maybe it's just judging by whenever you've still been alive.
Speaker 1: Since What a weird sentence hashtags judging by when you've
Speaker 1: been alive since and before that you ate? Oh that
Speaker 1: gotta be good. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Like I said, I hope you're not making too much
Speaker 2: noise for all the people with the Long John Silvers.
Speaker 1: Yeah, funny. I think my sister in law and her
Speaker 1: partner are asleep.
Speaker 2: The kitchen's closed for the evening, is what you're saying.
Speaker 1: The kitchens closed? Yep, I'll be allowed fish sandwiches can
Speaker 1: go hard. Agreed, there was long shots? Are you guys? Chris?
Speaker 1: Probably is? I am not.
Speaker 2: I am not high. I just I just I always
Speaker 2: find it very amusing that Long John Silvers anytime it
Speaker 2: comes up is just like who eats there?
Speaker 3: When was the last time you ate there?
Speaker 2: And how many jokes can we make about it before
Speaker 2: we move on and forget that Long John Silvers exist?
Speaker 1: All of these comments.
Speaker 2: I know, I'm so good. People have been witting unknowing
Speaker 2: of the night. I know unknowingly. People have been waiting
Speaker 2: all evening to have their opinions about fast food. Seafood
Speaker 2: been made of band, You're welcome.
Speaker 1: Oh god, oh this is great.
Speaker 2: My tip of my pirates or my Captain's cap to you,
Speaker 2: as they.
Speaker 1: Say, Steffano Longjohn Silvers is still in business support.
Speaker 2: Similarly to Mattress Warehouse, it is still in business. It
Speaker 2: may be a money laundering front though, who knows.
Speaker 1: Either way. There's always money in the Hushpuppies.
Speaker 2: There's always money in the Friday Attic. Good lord, all right.
Speaker 1: Next up, the film Ship from nineteen eighty is getting
Speaker 1: a four K and standalone Blu ray release from Keno Lober. Now,
Speaker 1: this George Kennedy film. You've maybe seen this before, but
Speaker 1: if you haven't, brand new HDR goldbi Vision Master coming
Speaker 1: on this of the theatrical cut. New commentary for the
Speaker 1: theatrical cut by Paul Krup and Jase Bachansky. New commentaries
Speaker 1: for both cuts by Alexander Heller Nicholas and Josh Nelson.
Speaker 1: And yes, I say both cuts because there is an
Speaker 1: extended cut on this film. It is not much longer.
Speaker 1: It's a couple of minutes. From what I hear, is
Speaker 1: mostly the exposition and talking. But I believe it's the
Speaker 1: first time out anywhere on HD, so that is a
Speaker 1: big deal.
Speaker 3: I love me some George Kennedy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's always great. Yeah, And this sert is iconic.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've never heard of this film, never seen this film,
Speaker 2: but this is now made. The list is Richard Krenna
Speaker 2: great and George Kennedy, I mean, my lord. Yeah, Ed
Speaker 2: hawkein from Naked Gun ethel That's all I say. I
Speaker 2: just love George Kennedy. So George Kennedy is such a
Speaker 2: funny like and all the other things I've seen him,
Speaker 2: and he's not funny, but in Naked Gun he plays
Speaker 2: such a funny straight man opposite Leslie Nielsen that the
Speaker 2: two of their chemistry just they're so good. That was
Speaker 2: my first introduction to George Kennedy. And I've gone on
Speaker 2: and watched other things subsequent to it, But yeah, I
Speaker 2: love George Kennedy with a passion.
Speaker 1: Well I'm glad you agree. This next one, I don't
Speaker 1: know anything about it. It is coming soon. I'm four
Speaker 1: K from Imprint in Australia The Monster from nineteen seventy five,
Speaker 1: also known as I Don't Want to Be Born. They're
Speaker 1: putting this out soon with a brand new internal four
Speaker 1: K restoration by Imprint, And this one says a woman
Speaker 1: gives birth to a baby, but this is no ordinary one.
Speaker 1: The child is seemingly possessed by the devil, a tale
Speaker 1: as old as time.
Speaker 3: So I had to say, how many of you in
Speaker 3: the chat can raise your hands?
Speaker 1: Good lord A he sounds sounds interesting.
Speaker 2: I love to god.
Speaker 3: Was that a real thing that someone just mentioned?
Speaker 1: What, George, that is a real thing.
Speaker 3: That is amazing. Whatever that is, I'm going to have
Speaker 3: to hunt that down.
Speaker 1: Uh. And Jim says he saw a death ship at
Speaker 1: the drive in when it first came out. Jim, that's amazing,
Speaker 1: that's fantastic. Robert Hubbard is asking if this is with
Speaker 1: Joan Collins, and yes, yes, it is actually pretty decent
Speaker 1: cast on this Joan Collins, Carole Monroe, Donald Pleasance, Eileen Atkins.
Speaker 1: I've not seen this, but supposedly Donald Pleasantce does like
Speaker 1: hardly anything in this movie. How do you pleasants?
Speaker 2: I love Donald Pleasance. I was gonna say, like Donald
Speaker 2: Pleasance in terms of Australian films. Uh, you know, man, Yeah,
Speaker 2: if it's too bad he doesn't do much in this.
Speaker 2: So now that right there is the comment of the night.
Speaker 2: You don't even have to but we don't have to
Speaker 2: put anything else on. That is quite possibly the greatest
Speaker 2: comment I've ever been a part of.
Speaker 3: That's amazing.
Speaker 1: The Chattanooga Choo choose what you do after you eat?
Speaker 1: Long John Silvers might need to be the next The
Speaker 1: next T shirt for Disconnected.
Speaker 2: Is uga Choo Choo in Long John Silver's font.
Speaker 3: That's it.
Speaker 2: We wouldn't get in trouble their weir font's probably not
Speaker 2: trademarked by anybody, with like.
Speaker 1: A visage of George Kennedy below it.
Speaker 2: Doing this and like a like a like a like
Speaker 2: a train conductor's hat, like one of those little like
Speaker 2: striped vertical striped hats.
Speaker 1: Of course, yeah, of course.
Speaker 2: I would like to see this movie. I actually really
Speaker 2: like Ozzy uh cinema, so I uh yeah, Mike Mike
Speaker 2: White at the projection booth, and I did an entire
Speaker 2: month of ozploitation films a couple of years ago. I
Speaker 2: really enjoyed them. So this this is again also on
Speaker 2: the list. I said that a lot when I come here.
Speaker 1: I think this is British, not Assy.
Speaker 3: But I'm not just being put out by an Aussie company, right, correct?
Speaker 1: Correct? Okay, you did not just pull that out of
Speaker 1: tinner Wow movie from where April thirteenth, We're getting a
Speaker 1: four K over in the UK from Studio Canal of
Speaker 1: The Devil's Backbone from two thousand and one. This is
Speaker 1: by a little scrappy, up and coming filmmaker named Giamo
Speaker 1: del Toro. I couldn't say that without laughing. Brand new
Speaker 1: four K restoration of the film. We got a new
Speaker 1: artwork by Christiana Balachschanoi, sixty four page book of the essays,
Speaker 1: two posters of new artwork by the same artist. We
Speaker 1: got a new intro by the director here and then
Speaker 1: everything else is archival extras. Have you seen The Devil's Backbone?
Speaker 2: I was, I was, I was gonna say, whatever happened
Speaker 2: to that little upstart guy, Giermo del Toro. Yeah, this
Speaker 2: movie's fantastic. I mean his early stuff, Devil's Backbone and
Speaker 2: Kronos are they are the reason he is where he
Speaker 2: is now. And that style, style with substance that he
Speaker 2: has been a purveyor of his entire career. This is
Speaker 2: where it starts. And I mean, Devil's Backbone is amazing,
Speaker 2: Kronos is amazing. I want to say I covered Devil's
Speaker 2: Backbone on the Culture Cast some years ago, and yeah,
Speaker 2: it's an amazing, I mean amazing, like genuinely, if you've
Speaker 2: never seen it, watch it and Kronos before you watch
Speaker 2: something like Frankenstein or Shape of Water or Frankly anything
Speaker 2: else like these are his for me, these are del
Speaker 2: Toro's best films, Cronos and Devil's Backbone.
Speaker 1: I still think Pans Labyrinth is my number one, but
Speaker 1: those are. It probably goes Pans and then Devil's Backbone
Speaker 1: and then maybe Mimic.
Speaker 3: I love, I do like mimic. Mimics good.
Speaker 2: And you know, not a lot of people remember it's
Speaker 2: a del Toro movie, that first one.
Speaker 1: Anyways. Honestly, Deltur is one of those filmmakers that it
Speaker 1: makes the best sense to watch his film in chronological order.
Speaker 3: I thineah, I agree, I agree.
Speaker 2: I was gonna say Del Toros directed one of my
Speaker 2: favorite comic book movies that first Hell Boys, just oh
Speaker 2: my god, like yeah. I saw an interview with Ron
Speaker 2: Perlman recently. He's like, we owe the fans a third movie.
Speaker 2: I mean, I agree. I I left the theater of
Speaker 2: that second one going I can't wait for the third one.
Speaker 2: Thirty six years old now I'm still waiting.
Speaker 1: So it is a bold choice. I'm sorry, Josh, but mimic.
Speaker 1: Mimic mimic got me early. I think it might have.
Speaker 1: I think it was the first one I saw from
Speaker 1: del Toro. Yeah, Christen de Cuche, that's a great movie too.
Speaker 3: I get it.
Speaker 2: I actually think with del Toro, you could go out
Speaker 2: out and say any of his movies are your favorite
Speaker 2: of his? Really, like I don't think he's really had
Speaker 2: a not great movie. I mean, even to Stefino's point,
Speaker 2: like Nightmare Alley is actually pretty good and I was surprised,
Speaker 2: like very much not what I was expecting from del Toro,
Speaker 2: but I actually enjoyed it.
Speaker 1: I still haven't seen Nightmare Alley ever, and I have
Speaker 1: yet to watch Frankenstein either. I really need to watch it.
Speaker 2: Frankenstein's good, Frankenstein is good. But for me, when I
Speaker 2: watched Frankenstein, I was like, Frankensin's good, not surprising, like
Speaker 2: you know, like at this point, I'm like del Toro
Speaker 2: knows his shit, like he's he is for me, one
Speaker 2: of the most competent filmmakers working right now, and like
Speaker 2: his love of film has always come through. I remember
Speaker 2: I remember those Bravo Top fifty, like scariest movie moments
Speaker 2: and was like and del Toro was like one of
Speaker 2: the only people who could speak like at like speak
Speaker 2: about his experiences with the film, but also what the
Speaker 2: film meant to the broader like film landscape, and most
Speaker 2: other people were just yucking it up, like Rob Rigglean friends, like,
Speaker 2: you know, like that was weird because like del Toro
Speaker 2: is such a yeah, like del Toro is such a
Speaker 2: student of the game that that's why I've always loved him.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm not a Pacific Rim guy.
Speaker 2: That might actually be the only thing of his I'm
Speaker 2: not a fan of shock really. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I like the Toku stuff outside of that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I just can't get down with Pacific Rim
Speaker 2: for whatever. Like, and I will say I like the
Speaker 2: Kaiju stuff outside of it, but not a lot of
Speaker 2: the American Godzilla stuff. Like I'm not a huge fan
Speaker 2: of those Monster Verse things either. You know, you really
Speaker 2: want to get me dragged up a flagpole back down.
Speaker 2: Nineteen ninety nine Godzilla not that bad. Gotta go, folks.
Speaker 1: I didn't I didn't hate it, but I certainly don't
Speaker 1: love it.
Speaker 2: It's got its charm. It's not a Godzilla movie, but
Speaker 2: it has its charm. When are you gonna see Matthew
Speaker 2: Broderick and Hanka's area together on screen? And Harry Shearer?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I I certainly love people that have brand people
Speaker 1: down in other countries.
Speaker 2: Yikes.
Speaker 1: Gratt was one of the comedians that was featured in
Speaker 1: the VH one Scariest Movies TV show, Oh Bully? W was.
Speaker 2: I? That must have been a later one, Chris, Come on, Josh,
Speaker 2: we're allowed to have opinions here. Last time I.
Speaker 1: Chacked No, not a free country. All right, let's go
Speaker 1: to the next one.
Speaker 3: Very quickly.
Speaker 2: We will be finding out that Godzilla in nineteen ninety
Speaker 2: nine not allowed to like it.
Speaker 1: The last well, I shouldn't say like this, but the
Speaker 1: last two of like the really big news of the
Speaker 1: week are the next two actually, so first up one
Speaker 1: that we've been waiting for for a long time. February
Speaker 1: twenty fourth, Synaps is releasing Tag the Assassination Game from
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty two on Blu Ray for the first time ever.
Speaker 1: This is a big deal. We got Nick Castle on
Speaker 1: this film. This is the HD worldwide video premiere in
Speaker 1: a two K restoration from the thirty five millimeters archival
Speaker 1: vault materials this is going to have a commentary with
Speaker 1: Castle and Robert Kerodine Materie by Sean Clark. It's got
Speaker 1: liner notes by Dustin Morrow. It's got a film poster
Speaker 1: reproduction card, and check this out. I have been wanting
Speaker 1: to see this for quite some time. Looks great.
Speaker 2: Yeah, never heard of it. Sounds interesting though. I like
Speaker 2: everything I'm seeing on the screen. It seems like a
Speaker 2: really interesting package to provide to everybody. Yeah, that they're
Speaker 2: giving everybody more than just the movie, because some of
Speaker 2: these have been just the movie, and it's like, you know,
Speaker 2: we're gonna spend all this time and effort to do this.
Speaker 2: It'd be nice to have more than just the movie.
Speaker 1: Right. For those that have never heard of this or
Speaker 1: seen of this, it says the rules of Tag are simple.
Speaker 1: Players try to murder each other using rubber tipped toy
Speaker 1: dark gumps. If you are shot, you are killed and
Speaker 1: taken out of the game permanently until only one player remains. Unfortunately,
Speaker 1: for this year's Tag players, one sore loser is determined
Speaker 1: to win at any cost, even if it means murdering
Speaker 1: his competition for real.
Speaker 2: I do like that. On the box, it says rub
Speaker 2: out your friends.
Speaker 1: That that is the point of the tug in cheek
Speaker 1: marketing constantly on the movie channel the early eighties, says
Speaker 1: Robert Hubbard. And yes, Linda Hamilton, a young Linda Hamilton
Speaker 1: is in this one.
Speaker 3: That is not on the camera or on the poster
Speaker 3: right there.
Speaker 1: The artwork. Yeah, this is not the John ham Tag movie,
Speaker 1: which is also very good, except for the ending is
Speaker 1: very weird in that movie. Sam says, why only two K.
Speaker 1: It's because the materials aren't great. It's just archival vault materials,
Speaker 1: not the negative, not an interpositive.
Speaker 2: Sadly, what a wild concept for a movie, though, sounds interesting.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm eager to check this one out. And then
Speaker 1: one of the biggest piles of announcements that we've had
Speaker 1: in a while, Synaps and Red Shirt has revealed some
Speaker 1: artwork and details on some of their upcoming releases. So
Speaker 1: let's talk about Fright Night two coming on four K
Speaker 1: with a new Dolby Vision Master supervised the DP. This
Speaker 1: is gonna have these three new artwork options. This was
Speaker 1: shared by Michael Felscher over on the Dead Pit Radio show.
Speaker 1: There is going to be the original art on the
Speaker 1: reverse side of one of the Raps, and this is
Speaker 1: coming this year, we don't know when, don't know exactly when,
Speaker 1: not even like the time of the year or anything
Speaker 1: like that. But later and then they revealed all of
Speaker 1: these Franken Hooker coming on four K with a brand
Speaker 1: new Dolby vision Master coming soon that we don't know
Speaker 1: an exact date yet. Prom Night four K, brand new
Speaker 1: Dolby vision Master with Dolby Atmos coming soon again, we
Speaker 1: don't know when. Angel of Heat coming on four K
Speaker 1: with red shirt pictures that is coming soon, no date yet.
Speaker 1: Then we have Hearts of Darkness, the Making of the
Speaker 1: Final Friday on Blu Ray with red shirt pictures coming soon,
Speaker 1: and then some twenty twenty six releases. Intruder coming on
Speaker 1: four K with the brand new Dolby vision Master from
Speaker 1: the original negative with special features that won't be on
Speaker 1: the German release that just came out, that is coming
Speaker 1: this year. Street Trash coming on four K this year
Speaker 1: with the new Dolbie vision Master supervised by the DP.
Speaker 1: And lastly Hunter's Blood coming with red shirt pictures on
Speaker 1: four K this year, new dolbiy vision Master. More news
Speaker 1: on that soon.
Speaker 2: Question answer original Street Trash, Yes.
Speaker 1: The original Street Trash the only good Street Trash. The
Speaker 1: new one is hot garbage.
Speaker 2: Okay, I haven't seen it, so I can't comment, but
Speaker 2: I'm just making sure because now we have to clarify
Speaker 2: so because the titles film is the same.
Speaker 1: Yes, and I hate that pattern that we find ourselves.
Speaker 2: Me too, Yeah, I was gonna say you beat me
Speaker 2: to the punch on that one.
Speaker 1: Any thoughts on any of the other films Franken Nooker
Speaker 1: Promnaie Dead Heat Hearts of Darkness.
Speaker 2: In Trance of Darkness definitely sounds like something I'd be
Speaker 2: interested to watch. In terms of it being a film documentary.
Speaker 2: Franken Hooker is Frank Kennon Lauder. Never seen Franken Hooker,
Speaker 2: but I have some very close friends that loved that
Speaker 2: movie and own the last release of it.
Speaker 1: I own multiply. Frank It's so good.
Speaker 3: Never seen it, have never seen.
Speaker 2: But same with the second, third, fourth Fright Night movies.
Speaker 2: Like the original affair amount didn't see the original until
Speaker 2: after I saw the remake, which I think you're going
Speaker 2: to agree with this. The remake A Street of the
Speaker 2: remake of Fright Night's pretty good.
Speaker 1: It is. It is very good, actually is it is quite.
Speaker 2: Good remakes that like actually exceeds what the original was
Speaker 2: doing in some capacities.
Speaker 1: Yes, although I still prefer the original, but oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: I get that. But I mean, like I think the
Speaker 2: remake did some things better than the original did in
Speaker 2: terms of being scary and actually like leaning into the
Speaker 2: vampire where a vampire can be that it'll make sense
Speaker 2: and be like logical.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like the Las Vegas of it all was like
Speaker 2: so smart, like that was such a fun smart thing.
Speaker 2: And Colin Farrell as a as a proper right nasty
Speaker 2: vampire is great. And yeah, the David Tennant character I
Speaker 2: think for me was my exposure to David Tennant before
Speaker 2: I saw Doctor Who even so yeah, I love that
Speaker 2: Fright Night remake.
Speaker 3: And Anton Yelchin.
Speaker 2: I know you and I are, you know, big fans
Speaker 2: of Anton Yelchin obviously rest in peace.
Speaker 1: So I also gotta say David Tennant made a lot
Speaker 1: of really great choices. I've liked him in so many things.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, maybe not flicking his tongue all those
Speaker 2: times in Harry Potter, but you know, I.
Speaker 1: Mean, yeah, yeah, we don't look at people. We don't
Speaker 1: look at much about Harry Potter without a little bit
Speaker 1: of cringe nowadays.
Speaker 2: So well, you know what they say, We'll be able
Speaker 2: to watch more Harry Potter stuff and it not be
Speaker 2: as problematic, right, Just kidding?
Speaker 1: Moving on anyways. Next up April twenty first, we are
Speaker 1: getting a four K release from Cult Epics of Girls,
Speaker 1: a film by Just Jakin. This is from nineteen eighty
Speaker 1: and you can choose from a pink slipcover or a
Speaker 1: blue slip cover and this is going to have a
Speaker 1: four K transfer from the original negative. HDR is included
Speaker 1: on this. We got an audio commentary by Jeremy Richie.
Speaker 1: There's an audio commentary on the blu ray as well.
Speaker 1: We've got an essay called who is Just Jakin? By
Speaker 1: Jeremy Richie, the last known interview with the directors on here.
Speaker 1: We got a new interview with one of the actresses,
Speaker 1: Isabelle mccheus, some archival extras. Yeah know anything about this
Speaker 1: running you adjust Jake.
Speaker 3: In person, have never even heard of him before.
Speaker 1: That's what I planned for. Check it out. I like
Speaker 1: a lot of stuff that Cold Epex does. This is
Speaker 1: one release that I'm excited to get, that's for sure.
Speaker 1: Next up, we've got from cartoon Logic, which is going
Speaker 1: to be a line from classic flicks. They're putting out
Speaker 1: the Famous Studios Champion collection. This covers from nineteen forty
Speaker 1: three to nineteen fifty and has a bunch of her
Speaker 1: original release animation on here. We've got no mutton for
Speaker 1: nutting the henpecked rooster. Suddenly it's spring, a lamb and
Speaker 1: a jam, a whole bunch of others. There's some optional
Speaker 1: commentary by the famous Studios experts Jerry Beck, Will Friedwald,
Speaker 1: Bob Jack, Mike Casileat, Thad Komarowski and Rob Waldman too,
Speaker 1: mostly Lost in the coolor novel tunes from nineteen forty
Speaker 1: six to nineteen forty eight, and then some production artwork galleries.
Speaker 1: I adore classic cinema, so I will not classic cinema
Speaker 1: classic animation, so I will absolutely be owning this.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I was going to say, just the just
Speaker 2: the cover alone is enticing. I'm a huge fan of
Speaker 2: classic animation as well, lots of fan of techs Avery
Speaker 2: Ruben Fleisher type stuff. Yeah, I'm right there with you.
Speaker 2: Next up, Oh my god, but man, talk about a transition.
Speaker 3: We all listening to your friend Billy's ame, He's cool guy.
Speaker 1: We are getting a four K and Blu Ray release
Speaker 1: of Keno Lober or Sorry from Keno Lober of The
Speaker 1: Phantom from nineteen ninety six. We get a brand new
Speaker 1: HDR Dolby Vision Master from a four K scan of
Speaker 1: the original negative approved by the director. New audio commentary
Speaker 1: by the director, moderated by Douglas Hoggsdale on the Blu Ray.
Speaker 1: We've also got all those same extras, plus a new
Speaker 1: interview with Billie z Aye. That's all just half an
Speaker 1: hour long, new interview with the composer David Newman, and trailer.
Speaker 1: How do you feel about The Phantom?
Speaker 2: The Phantom, The Shadow, the Rocketeer are all movies I
Speaker 2: adore because I feel like that's a good triple feature
Speaker 2: because they're all weird nineties a nachronistic superheroes that are
Speaker 2: from a you know, time gone past, that are these
Speaker 2: you know, pulp pulp pulp comics that no, I mean
Speaker 2: in the nineties. The people that were watching them had
Speaker 2: been exposed to them as kids.
Speaker 3: But it's like it's.
Speaker 2: Such a strange, it's such a strange thing to me
Speaker 2: that this movie exists. Same like The Shadow same like,
Speaker 2: I mean The Rocketeer similarly, I mean, I'm a huge
Speaker 2: fan of the Rocketeer, but I'm also a huge fan
Speaker 2: of The Phantom and the Shadow. Yeah, I think didn't
Speaker 2: Billy Zane do some additional special feature stuff on that
Speaker 2: Demon Night release that came out a couple of years ago.
Speaker 2: Seems like Billy Zaane is like a I think he did.
Speaker 2: I think Billy Zanne seems like he's a good arbiter
Speaker 2: of things.
Speaker 1: Thankfully, well he is. He still does a ton of
Speaker 1: cons too. He's much everywhere.
Speaker 2: He does, and he was the absolute funniest part of
Speaker 2: that Sherlock and Watson movie that came out a couple
Speaker 2: of years ago.
Speaker 1: I never saw it, but that doesn't surprise me. No.
Speaker 2: I like Billy Zane in The Phantom. He's really good,
Speaker 2: and so is Treat Williams. Rest in Peace.
Speaker 1: Yeah. We had a comment saying I sadly missed the
Speaker 1: recent screaming of The Fantom with Billy Zane in person
Speaker 1: that happened last year. I'd go watch The Fantom with
Speaker 1: Billy Zane and see a Q and a hell.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was like his moment to shine the Phantom.
Speaker 2: And I'm always kind of bummed that we don't live
Speaker 2: in a universe where the Phantom was a bigger deal,
Speaker 2: like and you know, Billy Zane went.
Speaker 1: On to wel franchise.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I mean, you know, I don't think it
Speaker 2: was that far away. You know, The Rocketeer had things
Speaker 2: made afterwards, sort of. The Shadow never did. Shadow has
Speaker 2: one of the best pinball machines ever made associated with it.
Speaker 1: You see this. My friend, my friend Stan was on
Speaker 1: the set of The Rocketeer. Jealous.
Speaker 3: I only ever got to.
Speaker 2: One of my bucket list things I did for the
Speaker 2: Culture cast was getting to interview Billy Campbell, the guy
Speaker 2: who played the Rocketeer.
Speaker 3: I got to interview him and.
Speaker 2: He had his bouncing baby boy on his lap because
Speaker 2: it was like twelve in the morning in Iceland or
Speaker 2: wherever the hell he lives, and it was one of
Speaker 2: those pinch me moments because he was a super super
Speaker 2: cool guy, super nice, great sport about things. I don't know, Like,
Speaker 2: it was one of those moments where I was like.
Speaker 3: I wish everybody I interviewed was like this, So I
Speaker 3: have a.
Speaker 2: Lot of nice things to say about the Rocketeer, and
Speaker 2: from the sounds of it, Billy Zane's a good dude.
Speaker 3: Zuelander had it right.
Speaker 1: I would agree. Yeah. Next up, just an overall reminder
Speaker 1: that this weekend is the end of voting for the
Speaker 1: Shelf Shocked Rewind Awards. The thirty first is your last
Speaker 1: time to get your votes in. The length to vote

Speaker 1: little reminders. Is my last time hosting since before the
Speaker 1: end of the year, I will be releasing discs myself hopefully,
Speaker 1: and that means I don't want to be able to
Speaker 1: have a conflict of interest, So check it out. Shelf
Speaker 1: Shock Rewind coming to you in just a few weeks now.
Speaker 2: As if this man isn't busy enough.
Speaker 1: More releases out of Australia. The Exorcism of Emily Rose
Speaker 1: getting a Blu ray release on March twenty fifth from
Speaker 1: Via Vision. This has all of the same extras that
Speaker 1: have been on the previous releases of this film. It's
Speaker 1: just coming out out of Australia. It's gonna have a
Speaker 1: three D lenticular hard case and some art cards with it.
Speaker 1: How did you feel about the Exorcism of Emily Rose.
Speaker 1: I feel like this is a movie you definitely saw
Speaker 1: early on.
Speaker 2: I was gonna say, I'd like to address the fact
Speaker 2: that term lenticular does not get used enough anymore. I
Speaker 2: do like a good lenticular. I'm sure you use it
Speaker 2: a lot on this show.
Speaker 1: Now, I was gonna say, I'd love some more lenticular cases.
Speaker 1: Let's do it. Get some more out there.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I Exorcism of Emily Rose. Yeah saw it.
Speaker 2: I believe I saw this in theaters because this is
Speaker 2: what five so I would have been fifteen.
Speaker 1: Uh oh yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, so yeah, saw this in theaters. I'm I'm
Speaker 2: a fan of Jennifer Carpenter. She's a you know, as
Speaker 2: a Dexter fan. That's kind of the this Exorcism of
Speaker 2: Emily Rose or this Dexter and Reck are like the
Speaker 2: you know, the big Jennifer Carpenter things. So I don't know,
Speaker 2: I actually think this is a pretty good exorcism movie.
Speaker 1: A good call from Terry. Terry says, nobody ever does
Speaker 1: movies about guys getting exorcisms.
Speaker 3: Well, Mike Flannagan's got an opportunity.
Speaker 1: He won't take it. No.
Speaker 2: I also believe that movie that Mike Flanagan is making
Speaker 2: is just called the Exorcist, so in keeping with the
Speaker 2: things that filmmakers keep doing that we don't.
Speaker 1: Like, right, uh yeah, So check out the Exorcismmenally Rose.
Speaker 1: And if you're picking that up and you go, you
Speaker 1: know what. I love the Saw movies. Pick up Saw
Speaker 1: four on four K out of Australia from Via Vision
Speaker 1: as well, coming out on the same day. Once again
Speaker 1: all the same extras. They did not get anything new
Speaker 1: for these, but the blu ray is the unrated cut.
Speaker 1: The four K is the theatrical cuts. There is no
Speaker 1: four K elements for the unrated cut, which is why
Speaker 1: we don't ever get a UHD of that one. Just
Speaker 1: a heads up. Exorcismnally Rose is a film where the
Speaker 1: trailer was on for a compilation disc Guy from a
Speaker 1: Serial Box. So I watched the trailer a lot as
Speaker 1: the kid, but I haven't seen the film. Oh man,
Speaker 1: you got to get on that.
Speaker 3: Paul, what kind of cereal were you eating.
Speaker 1: Australian pulse from Australia. That's wow. They get special things
Speaker 1: that we don't get. Hell yeah, they must Jake. You
Speaker 1: get a shout out earlier, of course, says I remember
Speaker 1: hearing good things about this Exorcism movie. It's good. It's
Speaker 1: a it's a talkie movie, that's for sure, but I
Speaker 1: still recommend it.
Speaker 3: I think Exorcist movies are one of those things where, like.
Speaker 2: The Posts Exorcist is a wild movie, the Exorcist movies
Speaker 2: like the bar was set so high it's kind of
Speaker 2: hard to ever get to that point again with so
Speaker 2: many of these. The franchise itself never got back there. Like,
Speaker 2: you know, the Exorcist is such a watershed moment for film.
Speaker 1: You know, the Exorcist three is.
Speaker 2: I love the exorcistree, but the Exorcist three is not
Speaker 2: the Exorcist.
Speaker 1: It's just not that that is true, but technically it's
Speaker 1: it's like one of the best sequels of all time.
Speaker 3: I agree.
Speaker 2: I agree with you that I and I like both
Speaker 2: cuts of that movie. Even you know what's not a
Speaker 2: great sequel, softfour, that's the this is this is where
Speaker 2: Rigs gets kidnapped, right and believe. So, yeah, this is
Speaker 2: like I love the Saw movies. I did a back
Speaker 2: in the day before what three more of now come out?
Speaker 2: We did all of the original run of those Saw
Speaker 2: movies as an episode on the Culture Cast.
Speaker 3: It was like a two parter.
Speaker 2: Each side, each side or each you know, was part one,
Speaker 2: Part two was like four and a half five hours
Speaker 2: because we had interviews with people from the movies.
Speaker 3: So I've seen them all.
Speaker 2: The fourth one, I think is one of the weaker
Speaker 2: ones in a overall really strong franchise of movies. Uh,
Speaker 2: the fifth one surprisingly may be my favorite, and that's
Speaker 2: a late Saw movie.
Speaker 1: That's Saw six is one of my favorites for sure.
Speaker 2: Saw six, Okay, Saw five is one of mine. With
Speaker 2: Peter Outerbridge and he's being put it's like similar to four.
Speaker 2: I think it's actually it has more in common with four.
Speaker 2: I think five just does what four is trying to
Speaker 2: do a little bit better, you know, the capturing of
Speaker 2: someone and having them go through a bunch of different
Speaker 2: tests as opposed to you know, one person and then
Speaker 2: another person another person type. Think So, but Saw, I
Speaker 2: mean you and I, You and I. We never got
Speaker 2: a chance to do our Saw film Foundations episode, did
Speaker 2: we No.
Speaker 1: I'll blame the wife. We wanted to rewatch all of
Speaker 1: them and we just did not get to them yet.
Speaker 1: I truly love every single Saw movie. You know, Spiral
Speaker 1: doesn't count because it's not it's from the book of Saw.
Speaker 1: It's not a Saw movie. But all the other ones,
Speaker 1: even the worst of them. I saw most of them
Speaker 1: on opening night with my wife Laura. Laura loves I
Speaker 1: believe all of these and even enjoy we all. We
Speaker 1: went to Spiral in the theater too. I gotta say
Speaker 1: Saw Saw ten very good, very excited that James wan
Speaker 1: is back at the Helm and like supposedly gonna be
Speaker 1: very hands on we Saw eleven. I'm very eager to
Speaker 1: check it out.
Speaker 2: Yes, so I was gonna say, man, like you beat
Speaker 2: me too. It's Saw ten. I think might be one
Speaker 2: of the most surprising movies I've seen in a long time,
Speaker 2: not because of what it is, but because it drug
Speaker 2: a franchise back from the not the brink.
Speaker 3: Saw was in the proverbial.
Speaker 2: Film like timeout zone, kind of like Friday the Thirteenth
Speaker 2: and Nightmare on Elm Street are like Saw was in
Speaker 2: the no no zone because of the franchise kind of
Speaker 2: you know, really pissing on the goodwill of the franchise
Speaker 2: of like the fans and Saw ten Man was just
Speaker 2: so so so good Saw Yeah. So, I mean, if
Speaker 2: you haven't seen Saw ten, you don't even really need
Speaker 2: to watch any of the other Saw movies to appreciate
Speaker 2: Saw ten. Like, genuinely, I think it gives which rough
Speaker 2: it gives you enough. And frankly, you could watch Saw
Speaker 2: ten and then watch Saw if you really wanted to.
Speaker 2: Saw Ten's amazing.
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, They're all great. I love the franchise. Let's
Speaker 1: keep going. Anaconda we talked about this earlier, coming on
Speaker 1: March seventeenth. In this four case steal book a standard
Speaker 1: Blu ray and a DVD from Sony. This is gonna
Speaker 1: have a Dolby Vision HDR and Dolby atmost. It will
Speaker 1: have some outtakes and bloopers, deleted extended scenes, a ride
Speaker 1: into Chaos with Jack and Paul. The cast featurette a
Speaker 1: piece on the snake charmer Tom gormickin reinventing the legend
Speaker 1: of Anaconda, and I gotta be honest, I've heard decent things.
Speaker 1: I want to see it. I check it out.
Speaker 2: Can I ask why they made Jack Black look like
Speaker 2: this on the cover?
Speaker 1: Which part they just make him look huge? That's true,
Speaker 1: it's odd. And Jack Black is not that big anymore. No,
Speaker 1: he's not.
Speaker 2: He wasn't that big in the movie. All right. If
Speaker 2: I'm not allowed to like Godzilla in nineteen ninety nine,
Speaker 2: you're not allowed to like Anaconda. But so that's the
Speaker 2: line that's been drawn here in the sand, also in
Speaker 2: all Jesus, in all caps, I mean it was fine.
Speaker 1: It's an impassioned plea.
Speaker 2: I guess, yeah, Jesus Christ, it's talking about another movie
Speaker 2: whose title has to be clarified once again, because now
Speaker 2: this is just called Anaconda, just like the originals called Anaconda.
Speaker 1: So Anonda twenty five.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And to be fair, this this cover art is
Speaker 2: not great, like just overall the.
Speaker 1: What exactly do you mean?
Speaker 2: I scroll up to the snake is what I'm getting at?
Speaker 1: Well, that too, but great, it's an.
Speaker 2: Anaconda movie and you have one sixteenth of the posters
Speaker 2: the Anaconda really.
Speaker 1: Well, not only that, you have a little big like
Speaker 1: eight is a bore.
Speaker 2: The pig is bigger than the Anaconda is.
Speaker 1: But I mean look, the pig is the pig is in.
Speaker 2: I would say the pig is in the funny that
Speaker 2: the pig is in the funniest scene in the movie.
Speaker 2: If the movies, if the movie had sustained that scene's comedy,
Speaker 2: both physical comedy and like dialogue based comedy, that the
Speaker 2: movie would be like Minecraft in Jumanji. And I think
Speaker 2: maybe it didn't hit with me the way it should
Speaker 2: have hit with other people. And clearly, you know, friend
Speaker 2: of my show, friend of your show, Josh, or Toato Big,
Speaker 2: you know, fan of it. So I can see why,
Speaker 2: like I said, just didn't land with me the way
Speaker 2: I think it did. I think this movie will be
Speaker 2: in the long term kind of reappraised as something that
Speaker 2: people just didn't get or didn't I don't think it
Speaker 2: was advertised very well. Like I think there were a
Speaker 2: lot of things working against it that I think this
Speaker 2: movie will find its audience eventually on on physical media,
Speaker 2: as these things tend to do.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I still need to see it, that's for sure.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I think you and your kids would like it.
Speaker 3: It's like a fun family movie.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that's yeah, Josh is right, that's it's for
Speaker 2: an Anacon. It's like it's like the Anaconda movie of
Speaker 2: the It's like Batman in the Dark Knight Rises, It's
Speaker 2: like he's in it.
Speaker 1: But like you see Stevens comment, why did I give
Speaker 1: all my lost weight to see Gi Jack?
Speaker 2: It looks like someone took a tire pump to him.
Speaker 2: If I was Jack Black, I would be so upset
Speaker 2: that this is what they put out with me on it,
Speaker 2: Like Jesus dude.
Speaker 1: Like the crazy thing. He approved this, like he had
Speaker 1: to approve it.
Speaker 2: I know that's it. I know, I know it's I
Speaker 2: would be like, dude, what the hell were you thinking?
Speaker 2: Like this?
Speaker 1: And what the movie did we botch?
Speaker 2: That's the other thing. And you know again like if
Speaker 2: you've seen the movie, you know, like the movie's not
Speaker 2: this serious, like this is a this is a fun
Speaker 2: ostensibly a fun movie, Like what movie are you advertising here?
Speaker 2: Like I don't think they knew how to advertise the movie.
Speaker 2: And I think that happens when you have a meta
Speaker 2: concept that you really have to spend a little bit
Speaker 2: of time getting the audience up to kind of speed on.
Speaker 2: So I said, I think this will find its audience
Speaker 2: in the long run. So yeah, Where's Seth Rogan.
Speaker 1: He's stuck in the studio.
Speaker 2: Where's Where's Steve Zon and Thandy Newton? They're in this
Speaker 2: movie as much as Paul Rudd and Jack blackhar So.
Speaker 1: Not only that their names aren't even on the coach
Speaker 1: No I know wild part.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was more surprising for me, Like, Okay.
Speaker 1: All right, h next up Eureka Just this Morning. Announced
Speaker 1: April twenty seventh over in the UK, April twenty eighth,
Speaker 1: Here in North America, a blu ray box set of
Speaker 1: adventure Carl May at CCC discovers from nineteen sixty four
Speaker 1: to sixty eight. And this has a bunch of films
Speaker 1: in this. This sounds really great. This is a bunch
Speaker 1: of defa Westerns, and I kind of really want to
Speaker 1: see these limited addition to two thousand, we've got a
Speaker 1: sixty page collector's book featuring new writing on this. There's
Speaker 1: gonna be a bunch of like introductions, there's gonna be
Speaker 1: new audio commentaries, new interviews, some archival extras. I don't
Speaker 1: know that you and I've ever talked about westerns. How
Speaker 1: do you feel about something like this?
Speaker 3: I like westerns a fair amount.
Speaker 2: I was my father is a big Louis Lamore guy,
Speaker 2: so I grew up around those. I never really read them,
Speaker 2: but he was always kind of pushing me to read them.
Speaker 2: And I know he's a huge Western guy, so I
Speaker 2: watched a lot of Western cinema growing up. I love Westerns,
Speaker 2: you know, I don't know, I just love Westerns. I
Speaker 2: love most, if not all, kinds of Western or Western
Speaker 2: adjacent things. I kind of wish it was a genre
Speaker 2: that had more of a place in this day and age,
Speaker 2: because that's a genre of film, similarly to like the
Speaker 2: swashbuckling film that just doesn't really have any sort of
Speaker 2: representation anymore in like modern cinema, and it's kind of
Speaker 2: a shame because you know, old school Westerns or old
Speaker 2: school swashbucklers are technically often technically impressive, very well made films.
Speaker 2: So I love a good Western, what about you?
Speaker 1: It depends on when and where they're from. The big
Speaker 1: thing for me is they definitely get samy over time,
Speaker 1: so I certainly have to break them apart like a
Speaker 1: box set like this would be tough for me to
Speaker 1: like binge through. But them being from Germany for the
Speaker 1: most part and from the Difa production studio I'm very
Speaker 1: curious in seeing these. I've been checking out more DIFA
Speaker 1: films lately, so it's exciting. I'm glad these are all
Speaker 1: coming out. Looks nice. But the big thing for me
Speaker 1: is April twentieth, they're releasing a four K over in
Speaker 1: the UK of Danger Diabolic, the Mario Bava film. Now, listen,
Speaker 1: I've already got to quenol over four K release, and
Speaker 1: I gotta be honest, this is one of those films
Speaker 1: that I've now bought in my life five or six times.
Speaker 1: I feel genuinely compelled to upgrade this now. It's gonna
Speaker 1: be probably the exact same presentation as the Kino. But
Speaker 1: my goodness, does the entire package and the extras look
Speaker 1: great on this And I will say the Keena Lber
Speaker 1: four K of this movie looks absolutely dynamite. Generally, I'm
Speaker 1: not very happy with the Keena Lober four K discs.
Speaker 1: This looks just beyond stupendous. If you've ever been interested
Speaker 1: in this movie, like Mario Baba, like these types of films,
Speaker 1: like these serials, the very comic book inspired movies, Danger
Speaker 1: Diabolic is a masterpiece, probably the best of them, and
Speaker 1: it looks truly stunning on four K. This is going
Speaker 1: to have a limited edition hard case with a sixty
Speaker 1: page book with new essays on the film. We've got
Speaker 1: alternative English audio track recorded in tandem with the original
Speaker 1: Italian in nineteen sixty eight, available on home video for
Speaker 1: the first time since it's laser disc release. We got
Speaker 1: a commentary Troy howert and Nathaniel Thompson commentary, Tim Lucas
Speaker 1: commentary with John Philip lah moderated by Tim Lucas. A
Speaker 1: new discussion from the origins and evolution of Diabolic from
Speaker 1: Page to Screen with Leon Hunt. New visual essay on
Speaker 1: danjer Diabolic is anti establishment pop culture by Rachel Nisbett.
Speaker 1: Some archival featurettes and yes, even the body move in
Speaker 1: music video by BC Boys. This looks like a stupendous release. Yes,
Speaker 1: have you seen it? Have you seen anything from Bava?
Speaker 2: I have seen stuff from him, but I have not
Speaker 2: seen this. I think at one point in the past
Speaker 2: when I was on your show, there was another release
Speaker 2: of this.
Speaker 1: That was that could be, that could be? Uh, And
Speaker 1: I agree, Jim, Yeah, I'm gonna I'm gonna have to
Speaker 1: get this at some point. It looks just wonderful and
Speaker 1: that art looks really great too.
Speaker 2: I was gonna say the art, the art is enticing
Speaker 2: in and of itself, like you know.
Speaker 1: Would you say it's reaching for you? Is all right?
Speaker 1: Next up another UK only release, Curzone putting out on
Speaker 1: March sixteenth, a four K Blu ray and even a
Speaker 1: DVD release of Alpha from last year. This is the
Speaker 1: Julia ducarneaut film from the director of Raw and Titan.
Speaker 1: This is going to be a two disc four K
Speaker 1: and Blu ray release. If you buy the four K one,
Speaker 1: We've got HGR ten on the disc. We've got interviews
Speaker 1: with Julia, a couple of the actors, a short film
Speaker 1: from Julia from twenty eleven, visual essay by Will Webb,
Speaker 1: and a theatrical trailer on it. Raw and Titan. Have
Speaker 1: you seen those?
Speaker 2: I have not Raws, the the Raws, the cannibal one.
Speaker 1: Yeah, cannibalism at a veterinary school. Yes, that's right.
Speaker 2: I heard about it. It's on on the list, but
Speaker 2: I have not.
Speaker 1: I think you should. I think you'd really like Raw.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's kind of why it was on my list.
Speaker 2: I'm a cannibalism guy.
Speaker 1: So have you heard what Titan is? Because you might
Speaker 1: be a Titan guy after this.
Speaker 3: I have, but I wait for you to tell me so.
Speaker 1: In Titan, our main character is in a car accident
Speaker 1: very early in the film and is traumatized by it.
Speaker 1: And about fifteen minutes into the film, she suddenly fucks
Speaker 1: a car and later in the movie gives birth to
Speaker 1: a baby that is part metal.
Speaker 3: Yep, right, you could have.
Speaker 2: You could have left even less out of that and
Speaker 2: just said she fucks a car and I would have
Speaker 2: been there.
Speaker 1: Yep, you should. You should check it out. It's very
Speaker 1: good rocket soundtrack on that one too, you'd like it.
Speaker 1: Next up, Filmmasters has put out some information that we're
Speaker 1: going to cover over the next couple titles now available.
Speaker 1: This is something that just flew past me. They've got
Speaker 1: a Blu ray DVD out of the Sin of Nora
Speaker 1: Moran from nineteen thirty three. This is going to have
Speaker 1: a stunning HDU restoration from a four case scan of
Speaker 1: the thirty five millimeters camera negative. It will not have
Speaker 1: any special features on the disc, but it will have subtitles.
Speaker 1: And this is a BDR just so you are aware. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Terry says, up fucked a couple of cars. Myself just
Speaker 1: not the same way.
Speaker 2: Depending on your definition of fuck, it might be the
Speaker 2: same way.
Speaker 1: Two sche next up from them. This one's also available now.
Speaker 1: Hercules and the Captive Women from nineteen sixty one. This
Speaker 1: is available now, no extras. This is a BDR as well.
Speaker 1: I know that some people will be turned off by that,
Speaker 1: but there's no real reason anymore. BDRs are very high quality.
Speaker 1: In twenty twenty six, you'll be fine. Yeah, looks looks
Speaker 1: like a fun release. I've not heard of this one.
Speaker 3: Is it a sexy movie?
Speaker 1: I don't think so, it says. Originally released in nineteen
Speaker 1: sixty one in Italy, it is the updated US version
Speaker 1: release for audiences in sixty three. Here follow the Chronicles
Speaker 1: of Hercules with Reg Park and his Hercules film debut,
Speaker 1: action packed from the start, Hercules encounters ish Men when
Speaker 1: he must save her from a shape shifting creature, and
Speaker 1: that's just the beginning. Ishman then brings Hercules to Atlantis,
Speaker 1: where they come face to face with the evil Queen Antonay,
Speaker 1: Ishman's mother and try to prevent her dreams of world conquest.
Speaker 1: Will Hercules prevail?
Speaker 2: We just looked like it.
Speaker 1: I guess they're just trying to give you an enticing
Speaker 1: poster to get in the seed. I'm sure guess hell yeah,
Speaker 1: all right? Next up. Filmmasters have revealed some dates of
Speaker 1: some upcoming releases. The Black Raven February, Bombs Over Burma February,
Speaker 1: the rest of these March. We got The Little Princess,
Speaker 1: The Snows of Kilimanjaro, Our Town, Dancing Pirate, The North Star,
Speaker 1: and Reefer Madness. All of those are gonna have no
Speaker 1: special features, but they will be a two K or
Speaker 1: four K restoration. Generally it's gonna be a two K
Speaker 1: and they will likely mostly be BDRs. Sadly, I'm not
Speaker 1: sure why they're choosing that, but here we are. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Next up, February seventeenth, a Blu ray from Cineverse of
Speaker 1: Lesbian Space Princess. How's how's that title feel?
Speaker 3: What a pivot.
Speaker 1: From The Dancing Pirate to Lesbian Space Princess.
Speaker 2: You said the same thing twice I did.
Speaker 1: This is gonna have a director's commentary, animatic scenes, magic
Speaker 1: trick reference, video auditions, outtake clips to leave it scene
Speaker 1: and some more. This didn't get an Australian Blu ray release,
Speaker 1: and so this will be a cheaper way to check
Speaker 1: out this film if you were into it. I've heard
Speaker 1: nothing but pretty great things about this I am curious
Speaker 1: to check it out, especially because there is something in
Speaker 1: this movie called dick Zilla. Nice dick Villa.
Speaker 2: I'm here for it.
Speaker 1: Good to know. Moving right along from dick Zilla to
Speaker 1: the Second Twin April seventh, getting a blu ray from
Speaker 1: Keeno Obra. The Second Twin will have a new audio
Speaker 1: commentary by Simon Abrams. This is from a four K
Speaker 1: restoration by Studio Canal and that is April seventh. Yeah, oh,
Speaker 1: Lesbian Space Princess from Umbrella has the soundtrack CD nice.
Speaker 1: I didn't know that one. Next up from Keena Larber
Speaker 1: House of Cards with George Pepard. This is coming on
Speaker 1: April twenty first. This is from nineteen sixty nine, has
Speaker 1: a new commentary by Gary Garani, and this is supposedly
Speaker 1: pretty great, says witness the intrigue suspense. Find every door,
Speaker 1: every window, and every move of every player in the
Speaker 1: House of Cards. I checked this one out. Orson Wells
Speaker 1: in it as well.
Speaker 2: George Papard, who doesn't love Banichick?
Speaker 1: It's a great question, good question.
Speaker 2: Who even knows what Banichick? Is?
Speaker 1: A better question?
Speaker 2: I don't I know. I figured it as much. Next, Oh, Mike,
Speaker 2: these this is some like filmic motion and sickness. Here,
Speaker 2: I'm getting whiplash from these movies my quality.
Speaker 1: Stone Cold Action nineteen ninety one's Stone Cold coming to
Speaker 1: four K from keel Over on April twenty. First, you've
Speaker 1: got two different cover art options there. This one is wild.
Speaker 1: We've got a new scene specific commentary by the director
Speaker 1: Craig R. Baxley. That's a big deal. We also have
Speaker 1: a brand new interview with William Forsyth on this.
Speaker 2: I love this movie.
Speaker 1: Tell me why.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's Brian Bosworth. It's insanity. Like for those
Speaker 2: of you who don't know who Brian Bosworth was, he
Speaker 2: was a football player from Ou who then was essentially
Speaker 2: known for just kind of being a shithead, and so
Speaker 2: that launched him into fame and stardom of the variety
Speaker 2: of this kind. Yeah, if you don't buy this alternate
Speaker 2: cover art, what are you.
Speaker 1: Doing with yourself?
Speaker 2: Like this is the fact that they even allowed this
Speaker 2: to get made is so good. Like Jesus Christ just
Speaker 2: blowing up the capitol. This is yeah. This this, this,
Speaker 2: this alternate cover art is truly oh yeah, Brian Bosworth.
Speaker 2: Not a great actor. Good looking guy, got a good
Speaker 2: look to him, like you know, he has the you know,
Speaker 2: he's got that look. I mean, he's got a look
Speaker 2: to him. But he's just not a great actor because
Speaker 2: he's an athlete, and not every athlete is a good actor.
Speaker 2: You know, just you're.
Speaker 3: Not necessarily going to be good at everything.
Speaker 2: We talked about this the other day, like you you
Speaker 2: can't expect everybody's gonna be good at everything, that is true.
Speaker 3: Have you seen Stone Cold?
Speaker 1: Uh years ago? I barely remember it. I do have
Speaker 1: the Blu ray, so I definitely don't need the four K.
Speaker 2: But it's goot Lance Hendrickson in it.
Speaker 1: It does, it absolutely does. All right, carr on to
Speaker 1: Remo Williams, The adventure begins. This is coming on April
Speaker 1: fourteenth on four K and Blu Ray from Keno Larber
Speaker 1: New HDR Dolby Vision Master. On this one, new commentary
Speaker 1: by film journalist Brandon strusnig we all. We've also got
Speaker 1: a new interview with Patrick Kilpatrick all kinds of archival
Speaker 1: featurettes on here. There's an archival commentary as well. Remo Williams,
Speaker 1: have you seen this one?
Speaker 2: I could listen to you say Remo Williams over and
Speaker 2: over and over again. I've never seen Remo Williams The Adventure,
Speaker 2: fred Ward. Yeah, I've never seen it.
Speaker 1: You should. It's it's worth watching. It's pretty good. It
Speaker 1: is quite funny, fun movie. Yeah, not much else to
Speaker 1: say about.
Speaker 3: It looks funny, love fred Ward.
Speaker 1: The Adventure also ended Steffino.
Speaker 3: It began and with that it was over.
Speaker 1: Next up Keno releasing a DVD only on April seventh
Speaker 1: of Mister Nobody Against Putin, The Oscar nominated Best Documentary Feature,
Speaker 1: Mister Nobody Against Putin getting a DVD only release in
Speaker 1: twenty twenty six. Why are we doing this, Keno Lber.
Speaker 3: Do they not have Blu ray and four K players
Speaker 3: in Russia?
Speaker 2: Is that why?
Speaker 1: I have a feeling not many copies of this film
Speaker 1: are going to end up in Russia. Uh, not for
Speaker 1: lack of trying, maybe, but for a lack of customs.
Speaker 2: I was about to say, would you like an Operation
Speaker 2: Dumbo Drop style thing antenor releasing sponsoring a DVD drop
Speaker 2: over the country of Russia?
Speaker 1: Operation DVD Drop good?
Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, that's what our yearly donation thing will be called.
Speaker 2: When we donate DVDs to the local people's operation DVD Drop.
Speaker 1: And of course we're gonna buy Keno Lber DVDs to
Speaker 1: drop them in.
Speaker 2: It is wild that they're releasing a What in your mind,
Speaker 2: as the physical media guy, why are they releasing a
Speaker 2: DVD in twenty twenty.
Speaker 1: Six because they're cheap? Because they think that documentaries won't
Speaker 1: sell well, that's probably one of the one of the reasons,
Speaker 1: which is an odd choice considering documentaries do pretty well. Yeah, anyways,
Speaker 1: next up, Keena Larib also releasing a Blu ray, not
Speaker 1: a DVD only of this one March twenty fourth Blu
Speaker 1: ray of House Calls from nineteen seventy selling Walter Mathow,
Speaker 1: Glenna Jackson, R. Carney, and Richard Benjamin. New audio commentary
Speaker 1: on this by Brian Reesman and Max every I love
Speaker 1: me some, Walter Mathow same.
Speaker 2: I'm more of a Jack Lemon guy, but that's because
Speaker 2: he was in Glengarry Glenn Ross.
Speaker 3: But I love Walter Mathow and Jack.
Speaker 1: Lemon understandable and mister a fat man not an insult.
Speaker 1: That's the YouTube name says. DVD still outsell Blu ray
Speaker 1: and this is a very niche title. While technically DVD's
Speaker 1: outsell Blu rays, that is most because they're selling DVDs
Speaker 1: only at places like Walmart, where people walk through and go, oh,
Speaker 1: they made that movie, we should buy it on DVD.
Speaker 1: The people that are buying stuff from Keena Laarber I
Speaker 1: primarily only buying Blu ray. I absolutely think they could
Speaker 1: have done that.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 1: Matth Own Jackson have totally wonderful chemistry like they did
Speaker 1: in Hopscotch. I will watch anything well with Walter math
Speaker 1: Out in it.
Speaker 2: I think, well, I was gonna say, there's that like
Speaker 2: Pirate movie with Walter Mathow that's not great, So maybe
Speaker 2: don't watch that one.
Speaker 1: I think you mean, don't watch that one again? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Valid?
Speaker 1: Uh Next up more Keena Larber April twenty eighth, A
Speaker 1: Blu ray of Nightlife coming on Blu Ray. I already
Speaker 1: said that from nineteen eighty nine, this isn't made for
Speaker 1: TV movie. We get a brand new HD master from
Speaker 1: a two K scan of the interpositive new audio commentary
Speaker 1: by Amandarees of course, new audio commentary by David del
Speaker 1: Val and Peter Sawyer. Anything made for TV and mandarea
Speaker 1: should be on And this looks like really solid release.
Speaker 2: Amanda Rea is she is, she is that she is
Speaker 2: the pre eminent expert on TV TV films.
Speaker 1: Absolutely yeah.
Speaker 2: Had we had her on the Colchak uh Colchak tapes
Speaker 2: a very long time ago to talk about Colechak and
Speaker 2: that was my first introduction to her, and she is. Yeah,
Speaker 2: She's fantastic and so so amazingly knowledgeable and just, I
Speaker 2: don't know, one of the one of the I mean,
Speaker 2: one of the best people in terms of keeping the
Speaker 2: TV film conversation alive, which is not easy. I mean,
Speaker 2: you know.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Also Mariam Diabo Bond Girl, everybody not Bond Girl, the
Speaker 2: more memorable ones unfortunately, but I wonder why, well, Living
Speaker 2: Daylights wasn't everybody's you know, wasn't everybody's bag. I get it,
Speaker 2: that's true.
Speaker 1: That's true. Uh. Next up the last Keno lber And
Speaker 1: asked of a very last few minutes for US April
Speaker 1: twenty eighth, Blu Ray, coming of a wonderfully title film,
Speaker 1: The Man who Reclaimed His Head from nineteen thirty four,
Speaker 1: which I mean it makes sense it was his so yeah,
Speaker 1: starring Claude Rains Joan Bennett. Also in this one, we
Speaker 1: got a new audio commentary by David Delvell. Another new
Speaker 1: audio commentary by Troy Howarth. I'm very curious to see
Speaker 1: this one nineteen thirty four. This looks good.
Speaker 2: I mean I like the name.
Speaker 1: Yeah looks good. Absolutely good. Poster two. Only a few
Speaker 1: more left for this week. Next up, the next wave.
Speaker 1: The next wave is Criterion coming out in the UK.
Speaker 1: I'm glad that they're getting these. It sucks that they
Speaker 1: can't get all of them, so I feel bad for
Speaker 1: everybody that won't get all of them. Yeah, these look good.
Speaker 1: We've got The Blade coming, We've got Trouble at Paradise coming,
Speaker 1: and we've got Gilda coming. The Blade is April thirteenth,
Speaker 1: Trouble in Paradise April twentieth, Guilda April twenty seventh. Have
Speaker 1: you seen any of those three, sir?
Speaker 2: I have not.
Speaker 1: Uh. I am needing to pick up all three of these.
Speaker 1: Very very curious to check us out when they get
Speaker 1: the US release first before they go to the UK. Yeah,
Speaker 1: looks good. Next up, Death Stalker is coming to Blu
Speaker 1: Ray on February seventeenth from Raven Banner in Canada. This
Speaker 1: is the Brandy twenty twenty five Death Stoker. Have we
Speaker 1: talked about Stephen Kostanski before? I feel like we have.
Speaker 2: Psycho Gorman, right, Psycho Gorman and The Void. Yeah, love
Speaker 2: Psycho Gorman, Love The Void. I want to say I
Speaker 2: did an episode on The Void on the Culture Cast
Speaker 2: a couple of years ago and got to talk to
Speaker 2: at least one of the actors that was in it.
Speaker 1: So do you still have a contact with that person?
Speaker 1: I might, We might need to talk about that. Because
Speaker 1: The Void does not have an active Blu ray release
Speaker 1: at the moment, I need to get in contact with him.
Speaker 2: I love The Void, that movie is I do too.
Speaker 2: Psycho Gorman. I mean, Psycho Gorman is also a lot
Speaker 2: of fun. They're just two very different kinds of fun.
Speaker 1: I would say, yes, yes, not only two kinds of fun,
Speaker 1: but too. I don't know, it's kind of wild that
Speaker 1: they came from the same group. Absolutely love both movies.
Speaker 1: Psycho Gorman is a blast, but The Void I don't
Speaker 1: know for what it was. It is special that they
Speaker 1: were able to make it, especially being a crowd fun movie.
Speaker 1: It's incredible.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I actually interviewed Aaron Pooley from The Void, nice
Speaker 2: the main actor. Yeah, Yeah, The Void is amazing, and
Speaker 2: it is wild to me that The Void and Psycho
Speaker 2: Gorman are the same people, because yeah, the tones of
Speaker 2: those movies are so discordant with one another. So I
Speaker 2: have not seen this movie. Though this movie looks more
Speaker 2: Psycho Gorman than anything else.
Speaker 1: Maybe it does. I've been dying to see this. I
Speaker 1: know josh ur Toato is a big defender of this one.
Speaker 1: I had wanted to see this, However, I don't think
Speaker 1: played in theaters near here last year, which made me
Speaker 1: very sad because this was this was playing when I
Speaker 1: was going to theaters, and so the fact that I
Speaker 1: don't think they played AMC's was the big thing. I
Speaker 1: am very, very curious to see what the future of
Speaker 1: this film is for the people, but I need to
Speaker 1: see it. I like the original Desktoker. I think it's
Speaker 1: a fun movie, and this is supposedly pretty great. All
Speaker 1: the extras on here look really good. We got a
Speaker 1: slip cover, we got a Blu ray CD combo pack,
Speaker 1: twenty page vind the scenes photo booklet. I think all
Speaker 1: of the extras on here are from the other releases
Speaker 1: of the film that have been announced previously. But if
Speaker 1: you're in Canada, this seems to be a good option.
Speaker 1: Glad they're doing this good movie. Check it out.
Speaker 2: Yeah, if you have not seen enough of Astron six's stuff,
Speaker 2: Manborg is also I mean Manborg is completely out of
Speaker 2: its mind. But I will mention I think for me,
Speaker 2: the Astron six thing that I really like is the editor.
Speaker 2: The editor. The editor is out of control. I mean,
Speaker 2: all of Astron six's stuff is very interesting and different
Speaker 2: and fun, and yeah, I would I would check out.
Speaker 2: If you're a fan of any of these movies, go
Speaker 2: check out all of their movies because they all have
Speaker 2: something worth checking out. I would say even go as
Speaker 2: far as the Leprechaun Returns movie is not nearly as
Speaker 2: much of a kind of disastrous the Leprechaun movie that
Speaker 2: came before it, the one that had Hornswaggle from the
Speaker 2: WWE in it.
Speaker 1: So do I think this will get a four K
Speaker 1: asked Scott. No, absolutely not. I think if it was
Speaker 1: going to get one, it already would have gotten a
Speaker 1: long time ago. The reality is it probably will not
Speaker 1: sell very well, and that's one of the main reasons
Speaker 1: why they're not choosing to put it on four K.
Speaker 1: Four K is so expensive. It's just it's just not
Speaker 1: worth it if you're not going to sell thousands and
Speaker 1: thousands and thousands of copies generally, that's the hard part.
Speaker 2: Well, you know what, maybe the next Kuma te will
Speaker 2: sell well because you know, possibly isn't Daniel Bernhard that's
Speaker 2: the lead in this movie, right, the next.
Speaker 1: Thing it is? Yeah, yep, all right. Two more from
Speaker 1: Raven Banner in Canada. One is The Autopsy of Jane Doe.
Speaker 1: This is now available with this brand new limited edition
Speaker 1: slipcover from Raven Banner. All the extras of the same
Speaker 1: or as their previous release. The only thing that's different
Speaker 1: is this new fancy artwork limited to five hundred I
Speaker 1: think on the slipcover. Maybe maybe that's just the next one.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure, but the next one definitely is limited.
Speaker 1: I like the art on this one. The art on
Speaker 1: the previous release of this film was very not safe
Speaker 1: for work, and uh it was good. But this art
Speaker 1: is good and my kids could see it, so yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's true.
Speaker 2: And the last one I was gonna say, by the way,
Speaker 2: this movie is amazing. Yeah, this Orridal is an amazing director.
Speaker 2: The Last Voyage of the Demeter a pretty fun movie.
Speaker 2: I don't know if you saw it, but I actually
Speaker 2: enjoyed that. It's it's essentially alien on a boat. But
Speaker 2: you know, okay, nothing wrong with that. Where's its you know,
Speaker 2: it's kind of where where's its influences on its sleeve?
Speaker 2: As someone who's plays a gamer in a lot of ways,
Speaker 2: Bendy and the Ink Machine is a film that he
Speaker 2: is in charge of, so I actually, yeah, I'm I'm
Speaker 2: And troll Hunter is a movie that, Oh my god,
Speaker 2: when I saw that, I thought that that was just
Speaker 2: I mean, troll Hunter is is yeah, troll Hunter. I
Speaker 2: mean for someone who is a found footage guy, as
Speaker 2: I know you are, troll Hunter is in that conversation
Speaker 2: of amazing found footage movies, some of the best, and so.
Speaker 1: Especially for the price that they paid for that film.
Speaker 2: God, and he wrote and directed that movie. That's the
Speaker 2: thing that always like like like makes me just like
Speaker 2: so impressed by him as a director and a writer,
Speaker 2: is that he wrote and directed that movie too. Like
Speaker 2: that movie's stunning and scary stories to tell in the dark.
Speaker 2: Not terrible, I mean, it's I think the premise of
Speaker 2: the movie was weird and I don't know how well
Speaker 2: it like landed, And I know that they also kind
Speaker 2: of trafficked in the Germo del Toro of it all
Speaker 2: because I think he produced that movie, if memory serves,
Speaker 2: or he did the story or something to that effect.
Speaker 2: So but I love over Adall as a director, and God,
Speaker 2: The Autopsy of Jane Doe is a great movie.
Speaker 1: It is great, truly great. Yeah, all right, last one
Speaker 1: for the week, also from Raven Banner. They are doing
Speaker 1: Curbo Kid with this brand new, amazing limited edition slip
Speaker 1: cover that is a wild piece of cover.
Speaker 3: Earp my lord.
Speaker 1: This one limited to only five hundred. And this one's
Speaker 1: kind of interesting because, yes, we've had many releases of
Speaker 1: this film, but I believe the blu rays getting kind
Speaker 1: of hard to find if I remember right, So this
Speaker 1: might be the cheapest way to pick up this movie.
Speaker 1: Right now. Everybody should own Turbo Kid. You have you
Speaker 1: seen Turbo Kid? I have not, Dude, this is very
Speaker 1: much a Chris movie. You would like this, Yeah, I
Speaker 1: think it's been.
Speaker 2: It's been on my Plex server forever now. Literally, I
Speaker 2: have scrolled past it plenty of times, so I know
Speaker 2: that it's it's definitely it looks like my kind of thing.
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, just like astron six is stuff
Speaker 2: like sometimes I can just look at something and go,
Speaker 2: this is gonna be my kind of thing.
Speaker 1: So yep, yep, I think you would love it. Good movie.
Speaker 1: Check it out if you are into it. But since
Speaker 1: that was the last announcement, let's talk about what's coming
Speaker 1: out next week on Tuesday. In case you forgot, We've
Speaker 1: got Friday the Thirteenth Part two, four K three ten
Speaker 1: to UMA four K. That's the original coming from Criterion,
Speaker 1: Osgoode Perkins Keeper coming on four K. The wide release
Speaker 1: of Severn's exer Seismobox that that was mentioned in the
Speaker 1: chat earlier is coming next week. Ma and Pa Kettle
Speaker 1: the Complete Comedy Course.
Speaker 2: Yeah, dude, Yes, I'm gonna ask if you mod paw Kettle. Bro.
Speaker 2: I don't remember what it was, but as a child,
Speaker 2: I watched something on VHS that had an advertisement for
Speaker 2: mon Pot Kettle on VHS and I always wanted to
Speaker 2: know what in God's name mon pot Kettle was. And
Speaker 2: I never took it upon myself as oh, oh wow,
Speaker 2: but mon pot Kettle. Folks, if you're a fan, it's
Speaker 2: coming your way. Ten years of mon pot Kettle.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Friday the Thirteenth, Part two looks incredible on four K,
Speaker 1: says Josh. I agree, Terry. Terry's asking. Is Belania getting
Speaker 1: a four K release? Probably not. I will say, did
Speaker 1: you and I talk about the Letterbox Shenanigans this week? Me? Yeah?
Speaker 3: No.
Speaker 1: So you know, you know about this Malania documentary that
Speaker 1: Amazon made right it's going to thes right now.
Speaker 2: Life. She's a great woman. Yes, I know all about
Speaker 2: Donald Trump's wife's documentary. Unfortunate.
Speaker 1: So somebody yesterday went into TMDb, which is where Letterbox
Speaker 1: gets all of their information for films from, and changed
Speaker 1: out the poster to a graffiti poster. And so for
Speaker 1: a good few hours last night, the Letterbox viewing of
Speaker 1: Milania had a picture that said Donald Trump, Fox kids
Speaker 1: on it.
Speaker 3: Wow.
Speaker 2: Well, first off, yes, and secondly that's funny. So wow.
Speaker 2: I mean, you know what, kudos to someone for doing
Speaker 2: social activism for even a couple hours on a website
Speaker 2: so many of us use all the time.
Speaker 3: It wasn't one of us, though.
Speaker 1: No, it was not wild that it happened, and it
Speaker 1: was wild all right. Carrying on with what's coming out
Speaker 1: next week, We've got the High Low Country from Keno Larber.
Speaker 1: Last Foxtrotten Burbank coming from Full Moon. Uh, Chris, have
Speaker 1: you heard a last fox Trotten Burbank? I have not
Speaker 1: written by one John Carpenter.
Speaker 3: I know that name.
Speaker 1: He doesn't like Chevy Chase, ten Rillington Place coming from this.
Speaker 3: We've seen ten Rlington Place.
Speaker 1: Uh, I believe I half watched it. I don't think
Speaker 1: I've finished it.
Speaker 2: It's really good. Richard Attenborough in that movie is amazing.
Speaker 2: I know most people know him, I mean like most
Speaker 2: you know, filmgoers who have only seen you know, like
Speaker 2: popular things know him as John Hammond from Jurassic Park.
Speaker 2: But he is so good at ten Rlington Place, Like
Speaker 2: if you've never seen him in anything else and you
Speaker 2: want to see him as a total creep, Ten Rillington
Speaker 2: Place is definitely a place to start for sure.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Keino or not Quino sorry. Full Moon's Noir collection
Speaker 1: is coming out next week. We've got Garden of Love
Speaker 1: from OnEarth Films, a couple stand Editions from Anto Macabre,
Speaker 1: and then if you want, the Fifty Shades movies coming
Speaker 1: together on four K in a three film box set
Speaker 1: for the first time ever. My big thing for next
Speaker 1: week is the extra Sizmo box set. I cannot wait
Speaker 1: to get that in.
Speaker 2: Yes, Friday thirteenth from the one that's down there, that's
Speaker 2: Friday in thirteen from two thousand and nine.
Speaker 1: Yes, it is the standard edition coming from Aero Video Oka.
Speaker 1: They had released that previously on four K. Now it's
Speaker 1: just the standard coming.
Speaker 2: So that's the remake and is the remake with the
Speaker 2: Jason that runs?
Speaker 1: Yes?
Speaker 3: Interesting?
Speaker 2: How do you feel We've never talked about that movie.
Speaker 2: How do you feel about that movie?
Speaker 1: I really like the remake of Friday the thirteenth. I
Speaker 1: think it is a very well made remake.
Speaker 2: I agree it it. It does a better job of
Speaker 2: being a remake than that Nightmare on Elm Street movie does,
Speaker 2: which came out what like the year early, year after
Speaker 2: year later. Yeah, Well, because that Nightmare movie had so
Speaker 2: many good actors in it too, just like just like
Speaker 2: the Friday one did well.
Speaker 1: And I don't think Jackie Early hate Jackie Earl Haley
Speaker 1: was bad in the remake. No, the writing though was atrocious.
Speaker 2: Well, I go back to the one thing in that
Speaker 2: remake they should have done, which is there's that moment
Speaker 2: where they're at the school and it's like and behind
Speaker 2: this is where he would take us, and it's like
Speaker 2: that moment should have been reveal.
Speaker 3: There's nothing there.
Speaker 2: They killed an innocent man, and that makes this so
Speaker 2: much more interesting as a story and said it was like,
Speaker 2: and there is the sexual assault cave where he was
Speaker 2: doing all that, and it's just like the original, except
Speaker 2: they actually lean into the reality of it as opposed
Speaker 2: to avoiding it due to the things at the time,
Speaker 2: like they had an opportunity to do something different. The
Speaker 2: thing that I like about that Friday the Thirteenth movie
Speaker 2: is it is a different kind of Friday the Thirteenth movie,
Speaker 2: just like all across the board. It's such a strange
Speaker 2: Friday of the Thirteenth movie instead of just being a
Speaker 2: direct reboot of the franchise.
Speaker 1: So it's true. Yeah, I really like that. I really
Speaker 1: wanted them to have more in that universe. I would
Speaker 1: have loved to have them continue with it.
Speaker 2: I mean they ended the tam movie on a cliffhanger,
Speaker 2: so right. Yeah, and yeah, I would agree with with Jim,
Speaker 2: like the remake is better than a lot of those
Speaker 2: like sequels. You know, some of those Friday sequels are.
Speaker 3: Not great.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I I don't know. I'm not taking the time
Speaker 4: to like properly rank the big of the like the
Speaker 4: slasher franchises anytime recently, because my thoughts on those change
Speaker 4: a lot. But I don't think Friday the thirteenth has
Speaker 4: ever even been like top one or two for me ever.
Speaker 2: No, same.
Speaker 3: I think for me.
Speaker 2: It's still probably Nightmare and probably Nightmare and Scream like
Speaker 2: one and two really, like if you even want to
Speaker 2: put those in the ability to rank them in the
Speaker 2: same thing, because I'm not sure they are. Like I
Speaker 2: watch Scream, I just think, oh, this is just like
Speaker 2: a murder mystery every time I watch it. Now, Like
Speaker 2: this isn't even a horror movie anymore, Like it's you know,
Speaker 2: which is fine, but like the things you're talking about, Yeah,
Speaker 2: Friday is nowhere near the top for me.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was thinking more of like the classic eighties
Speaker 1: and seventies and eighties once Halloween.
Speaker 3: Careful, don't say nineties.
Speaker 1: No, well I was. You got to say seventies and
Speaker 1: eighties because Halloween started in the seventies. So that's the
Speaker 1: big thing, is Halloween. It's probably Halloween Nightmary and Elm Street,
Speaker 1: Friday the thirteenth, and then maybe Texas chainsaw'm Masker or
Speaker 1: or hell Raiser one of those two, although hell Raiser
Speaker 1: isn't really a slasher.
Speaker 3: I mean, I think hell Raiser's in there.
Speaker 2: I think for me it would be Nightmare, hell Raiser, Texas, Chainsaw, Halloween,
Speaker 2: Friday the thirteenth.
Speaker 1: I don't think hell Raiser could be in my top
Speaker 1: three because of how bad those movies get.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but the first two, the first one is first
Speaker 2: one is amazing. That's the the first one is so good.
Speaker 2: I understand that there's all those other subsequent sequels that stink,
Speaker 2: but that first movie is just a banger of a movie,
Speaker 2: and it's I love the first three. Yeah, oh no,
Speaker 2: I'm with you, like but I mean, I'm willing to
Speaker 2: say the first three just like you are. But I
Speaker 2: know a lot of people have a lot of problems
Speaker 2: with the second one, and the third one is where
Speaker 2: a lot of people check out. I love how wild
Speaker 2: the third one isn't any film that allows you to
Speaker 2: have a Motorhead song called hell Raiser in it is
Speaker 2: just going to be perfect for me.
Speaker 3: So yeah, I'm with you. Friday the thirteenth.
Speaker 2: There's not a franchise that I gravitate towards as a
Speaker 2: horror fan, so that might be sacrilege, but you know
Speaker 2: someone else is going to put Halloween lower or Nightmare lower,
Speaker 2: and I might have similar feelings about that, So I
Speaker 2: get it. We resonate with some of these characters and
Speaker 2: franchises more strongly than others. So no answer is incorrect, unless,
Speaker 2: of course, yeah, I don't know there's nothing, because I
Speaker 2: don't think there's any incorrect answer.
Speaker 3: Everything is someone's favorite.
Speaker 1: Look at this branding. All right, let's talk about video
Speaker 1: game adaptations overall. How do you feel about video game adaptations?
Speaker 1: Why is this an interesting topic for you?
Speaker 2: I think that the public sentiment on video game adaptations
Speaker 2: is kind of I wouldn't say changed as of recent,
Speaker 2: but I think it's definitely had a weird wrench thrown
Speaker 2: into it because in the last let's say five years,
Speaker 2: let's call it since Detective Pikachu or depending on your
Speaker 2: frame of reference, Sonic the Hedgehog, video game movies have
Speaker 2: had a weird resurgence and a weird kind of reappraisal.
Speaker 2: I mean, look, there is a movie that we'll talk
Speaker 2: about that I think everybody drags, and I don't think
Speaker 2: is worth dragging anymore, given the other things you could
Speaker 2: be dragging if you really want to drag uncreative, lazy things.
Speaker 2: But I think video game movies get a bad rap.
Speaker 2: I think some of it's well deserved. You know, that
Speaker 2: new Silent Hill movie that came out doesn't sound like
Speaker 2: it's doing any favors to change the narrative of video
Speaker 2: game adaptations being worthwhile. But there are plenty of movies
Speaker 2: in the last five years that have done that, and
Speaker 2: I think that there are ones before that as well
Speaker 2: that you could and we will talk about as examples
Speaker 2: of good adaptations before.
Speaker 3: The golden age of video game adaptations is kind of.
Speaker 2: Upon us now, and it's really TV where video games
Speaker 2: are being well adapted.
Speaker 1: Like okay, so long.
Speaker 2: Form formatting of it, I think is a little bit
Speaker 2: more beneficial to video games, especially more broad, expansive world
Speaker 2: building video games like Last of Us.
Speaker 1: I absolutely was going to mention this because my list
Speaker 1: was very difficult to even make a favorite five. I
Speaker 1: came up with four, and I was like, well, I
Speaker 1: remember like in the first one for the most part,
Speaker 1: less so that it is number five.
Speaker 3: I guess I'm in combat as your number five.
Speaker 1: Yes, I mean, I'm sorry.
Speaker 2: No, I mean just the way you said it. I mean,
Speaker 2: there's like very little other things that that could even
Speaker 2: be in reference to.
Speaker 1: It's actually not mortal combat. That's the funny part. Wow shocking,
Speaker 1: But yeah, TV is where a lot of these are
Speaker 1: like actually turning in prestige. I hate to use the
Speaker 1: word content, but like that's where a lot of it
Speaker 1: is coming in. Is when you're giving time to something
Speaker 1: like Fallout and you're giving you know, Pedro Pascal the
Speaker 1: ability to be something that people fall in love with
Speaker 1: for two seasons so far, it's it's gonna be better
Speaker 1: than a lot of this stuff. I don't know. I
Speaker 1: think that it is tough because video like video games,
Speaker 1: for the most part, it's an art form. It's a deep,
Speaker 1: long running art form of people that have gone through
Speaker 1: these like these journeys. That's literally the whole point. And
Speaker 1: so making a movie it's hard because a ninety hour
Speaker 1: video game that has all of these ups and downs
Speaker 1: and characters that you meet along the way. Condensing that
Speaker 1: all into even you know, two and a half hours,
Speaker 1: which is a fairly long movie, is not simple to do.
Speaker 2: Just peer no no, And you know, as someone who
Speaker 2: has played video games mostly is entire life and loves
Speaker 2: I mean loves video games. When you and I are done,
Speaker 2: I'll probably decompresse by playing something for an hour.
Speaker 3: You know. Sometimes that's just the way I am.
Speaker 2: Like, that's something I need, is that decompression point to
Speaker 2: do something fun, and that for me. I like working
Speaker 2: out a lot, I like being active a lot. But
Speaker 2: I also like sitting with my friends in gaming because
Speaker 2: that's a thing that we can still do as a
Speaker 2: group of friends, even though we're all in disparate parts
Speaker 2: of the country. So I still game a lot. And I,
Speaker 2: you know, as someone who games a lot, like want
Speaker 2: want the things that I love to be respected the
Speaker 2: way film is respected by people that come to film.
Speaker 2: But to your point, a lot of the video game
Speaker 2: adaptations have been done in bad faith because they just
Speaker 2: see them as an opportunity to cash in on an ip.
Speaker 2: They don't actually care about making something true to the
Speaker 2: franchise or doing something that the fans will like along
Speaker 2: with new people like these are not things that they're
Speaker 2: really going out of their way to do. You know,
Speaker 2: Resident Evil Raccoon City, Yeah, not great. Like there's a
Speaker 2: lot of really bad things out there. You know, Zach
Speaker 2: is directing a Resident Evil movie. I would not trust
Speaker 2: anyone other than him at this point to do a
Speaker 2: movie like that. Genuinely. If you love the franchise and
Speaker 2: you want to do something with it, you're the person
Speaker 2: for the job as far as I'm concerned. But I
Speaker 2: think to your point, video games are in art form
Speaker 2: that deserve to be experienced on their own, Like watching
Speaker 2: a movie or TV show based on Fallout or Last
Speaker 2: of Us really robs the medium of its impact because
Speaker 2: being able to play as those characters and connect with
Speaker 2: the characters directly, or be the characters sometimes even is
Speaker 2: something that is part of the experience of playing video games,
Speaker 2: and experiencing its secondhand just does not feel the same
Speaker 2: and it never was.
Speaker 1: Right. So I'm curious if you could see three video
Speaker 1: games turned into movies that you love. What three are
Speaker 1: you on in green Light tomorrow?
Speaker 2: I would love to actually see a great Assassin's Creed
Speaker 2: video game film, like and just don't base it on
Speaker 2: any of the video games. Do your own goddamn thing.
Speaker 2: Maybe don't even have it be obvious that's an Assassin's
Speaker 2: Creed thing until towards the end, and then tie it
Speaker 2: into it, like do something that's not what they did already.
Speaker 3: Here's the crazy part.
Speaker 2: I actually like that Assassin's Creed movie. It's a wild movie,
Speaker 2: Like I don't really know what they were thinking. That's
Speaker 2: such a weird video game adaptation. And I'm a huge
Speaker 2: Fastbender guy, so that that was an easy layup for me.
Speaker 2: I think if you were to ask me that question
Speaker 2: about things that haven't been adapted, because I think for me, like,
Speaker 2: there are a lot of things where I'm like, I
Speaker 2: would love to see this person do this a different way,
Speaker 2: or someone do X, Y and Z a different way.
Speaker 2: I think for me, the things that I would like
Speaker 2: to see being turned into into movies are things that,
Speaker 2: like it would be so weird for it to be
Speaker 2: a movie, but I would want someone to do something
Speaker 2: really interesting with it, like they're you know, you know,
Speaker 2: like there there's a there's there's a game that I
Speaker 2: play called Deep Rockelactic and it's a game about dwarfs
Speaker 2: that are mining on like other planets in their mining resources.
Speaker 2: Like that would be a cool thing. Like that would
Speaker 2: be a cool cartoon or an animated movie. Battle Toads
Speaker 2: would be such an awesome like cartoon or t like
Speaker 2: TV show and like the video game that came out
Speaker 2: a couple of years ago really leaned into the stylized
Speaker 2: animation of it all and made it almost like a
Speaker 2: interactive cartoon in a lot of ways. I mean Cuphead
Speaker 2: was that same way as a video game, Like it
Speaker 2: felt like one of those old school cartoons turned into
Speaker 2: a video game. So I don't know, like I said, man, like,
Speaker 2: there's a lot my brain goes a lot of directions.
Speaker 2: But I think for me, like I would like to
Speaker 2: have people adapting things that aren't imminently obvious how you
Speaker 2: would adapt them like I would. I think it would
Speaker 2: be fucking wild to see a Rocket League movie, like
Speaker 2: a genuine, honest to god Rocket League added where you
Speaker 2: can get invested in a fake sport in the film
Speaker 2: the way people get invested in real sports and real life. Like,
Speaker 2: I think that would be wild, like because that's again
Speaker 2: like for me, I want to see someone do something
Speaker 2: creative with it, because it's clear to me just taking
Speaker 2: these things and doing them. Certain franchises can benefit from that,
Speaker 2: but other franchises, they don't work if you just straight
Speaker 2: adapt them.
Speaker 3: Right what about how I'm curious.
Speaker 1: I understand that I never would have thought you'd say
Speaker 1: Rocket League. That's a fun idea, and now I kind
Speaker 1: of want to see that, Like.
Speaker 2: Right, it's me so wild, like I from the market
Speaker 2: type of movie. Yeah, Like, I don't know why someone
Speaker 2: has like why that wasn't a thing that people weren't
Speaker 2: clamoring for when that became kind of a mild cultural
Speaker 2: touchstone for a couple of years Rocket League, Like, I
Speaker 2: don't know why. I would also really love to see
Speaker 2: a Team Fortress two movie just based on the amount
Speaker 2: of like unique characters that are in that video game,
Speaker 2: because every class in that is a very unique, distinctive character,
Speaker 2: and if you had like an actual cast around that,
Speaker 2: you could do some really wild stuff with it. So
Speaker 2: those are the answers for me. I know those are
Speaker 2: very weird and like specific, But at the same time,
Speaker 2: like I play so many video games, it was never
Speaker 2: going to be.
Speaker 1: Just Call of Duty, right right, right, Yeah.
Speaker 2: It's already doing that, Jack he is. I mean that's
Speaker 2: you know, what, in God's name? Is a Call of
Speaker 2: Duty movie going to look like every other action movie
Speaker 2: you've ever seen? Yeah, but what answer would you have
Speaker 2: if any I guess, I.
Speaker 1: Mean it's kind of obvious at this point, but I
Speaker 1: would love to see a world made in BioShock. I'd
Speaker 1: love to see what that looks like properly done. I
Speaker 1: think you could do a lot with that. And the
Speaker 1: music was great, The visuals obviously would be great, but
Speaker 1: just the whole steampunk nature of it would serve film
Speaker 1: very well. It seems like a silly answer, but I
Speaker 1: think it is something like like Bully. I really loved
Speaker 1: the game Bully, Yeah, and I would love to see
Speaker 1: a movie based off of that.
Speaker 2: Obviously, read a little bit, Ryan, that's a that's a
Speaker 2: deeper cut, that's a lesser Rockstar game.
Speaker 1: It's one of my favorites. I love I love rock Star.
Speaker 1: I think that game was genuinely perfect. I think it
Speaker 1: would be really fun to watch. And supposedly they're they're
Speaker 1: teasing a possible like sequel or remaster or something coming up.
Speaker 2: They've been talking about that forever, but I hope that
Speaker 2: they're going to do it. What if they did a
Speaker 2: Grand Theft Auto movie, but it was just like the
Speaker 2: Minecraft movie.
Speaker 1: I mean, honestly, it could be fun because, like, take
Speaker 1: the sensibility of Minecraft and make it fully adult, make
Speaker 1: it like beating up hookers and shooting people in the face.
Speaker 2: And yeah, it's kind of like West World. It would
Speaker 2: kind of be I mean kind of like fall Guy,
Speaker 2: right like or free Guy Free Guy? Is that a
Speaker 2: free Guy, which I mean like Free Guy was like
Speaker 2: again like Free Guy was kind of trapped in that.
Speaker 2: But I think it would be fun, Like I know,
Speaker 2: it's kind of that trope is overused, the like real
Speaker 2: person goes into the.
Speaker 1: Video game, right like Grant.
Speaker 2: I don't know how you would do a Grand Theft
Speaker 2: Auto movie unless you're just doing a Grand Theft Auto
Speaker 2: movie like a La Prima, like the actual way, like
Speaker 2: having it be set for real in that world and
Speaker 2: it following characters in that world and it's set in
Speaker 2: Los Santos or wherever, but it's it's at like Grand
Speaker 2: Theft Auto for real unless you do it that way,
Speaker 2: Like I don't know how you would do it any
Speaker 2: other way, really, Like it's.
Speaker 3: Either that or that. Like same with Minecraft.
Speaker 2: It's either it's set in the world for real or
Speaker 2: you have people coming in from out of the world
Speaker 2: and it being fish out of water, like how many
Speaker 2: times that it happen. The Super Mario movie, the original
Speaker 2: and the remake the animated both traffic in that even
Speaker 2: like because Mario's in his real world in that Mario movie.
Speaker 2: So Asteroids would be again like the classic games Tetris,
Speaker 2: right like there was a funnier, die like joke trailer
Speaker 2: Tetris of However, many years go and then they made
Speaker 2: a Tetris movie, but they made it the way you
Speaker 2: make a Tetris movie, which is the story of how
Speaker 2: Tetris came to be. Because that story in and of
Speaker 2: itself is so interesting. That's the other thing. Like video
Speaker 2: game movies, I think for me, I also really love
Speaker 2: movies about the video game industry, like King of Kong.
Speaker 2: He's absolutely one of my favorite movies of all great.
Speaker 2: I love that.
Speaker 1: Movie like no physical media.
Speaker 2: By the way, buck let's we need to Oh ah see,
Speaker 2: here's the thing what the world needs. And this is
Speaker 2: what's fucking crazy. The world needs King of Kong two
Speaker 2: because I don't know, if you know what's happened in
Speaker 2: the subsequent years since the King of Kong. Billy May's
Speaker 2: or Billy May's or what that? What the fuck's the
Speaker 2: guy's name? Oh, Billy Mitchell, not Billy May's. I wish
Speaker 2: it was Billy Mays. They both lived in Florida. Billy
Speaker 2: Mitchell's been stripped of all of his titles. Yeah, I
Speaker 2: heard that because he was supposedly cheating. And I'm saying
Speaker 2: supposedly because he's a very litigious guy. So I just
Speaker 2: I don't want to put that out into the world.
Speaker 2: But a King of Kong sequel would be fucking nuts.
Speaker 2: And now, given the things that have happened in the
Speaker 2: in the years subsequent. But if you've never seen King
Speaker 2: of Kong, knock, knock, knock, this is the doorbell, you
Speaker 2: need to go answer it and watch King of Kong.
Speaker 1: This is the doorbell.
Speaker 3: So your doorbells sounds like at your house?
Speaker 1: Uh? Not not generally. What's up, Thomas, So let's get
Speaker 1: into it. Let's go into some of these titles. What
Speaker 1: is Uh? Did you rank yours? Are these just a listen?
Speaker 3: Didn't rank?
Speaker 1: Did you rank your? No? I I it was hard
Speaker 1: enough just to give a list of five that I liked.
Speaker 1: To give me. One of these five.
Speaker 2: Ranking is as baby Billy Freeman would say, is for nerds.
Speaker 3: So no, I'm not ranking anything.
Speaker 2: Uh. One of mine, like I mentioned, is a more
Speaker 2: recent title, Five Nights at Freddy's. I loved that first
Speaker 2: Five Nights of Freddy's movies way better than has any
Speaker 2: right to be like. It just it hit. It hit
Speaker 2: for me at the right moment in the right way.
Speaker 2: I was covering Five Nights at Freddy's at the time
Speaker 2: for another podcast I was doing. We were talking about
Speaker 2: like like those kinds of YouTube, like analog horror things,
Speaker 2: and so we covered five Nights of Freddie's.
Speaker 3: And so it just it was hitting.
Speaker 2: On all cylinders. And I know it was kind of
Speaker 2: critically reviled. But the people that I knew that love
Speaker 2: Five Nights at Freddie's. The source material loved the movie.
Speaker 2: And so as far as I'm concerned, if the people
Speaker 2: who loved the source material love the movie, that's a success.
Speaker 2: And you know, damn the critics in some respects because
Speaker 2: they look they weren't amenable to it to begin with.
Speaker 3: So whatever Five Nights of Freddie's. I thought it was
Speaker 3: pretty good. And Josh Hutcherson forever teenager, Josh Huttererson.
Speaker 2: Is pretty good. And Matt Lillard, I mean, I'm a
Speaker 2: huge Matt Lillard, guys, I know you are.
Speaker 1: So he's just not in it enough, that's the big thing.
Speaker 2: But he's really not in and in the second one.
Speaker 2: So that's why the second one is not going to
Speaker 2: get mentioned other than if you saw the first one,
Speaker 2: you'll probably watch the second. But the second one is
Speaker 2: a lesser first one in a lot of ways. I
Speaker 2: don't think it's terrible. I know you were not a fan,
Speaker 2: but I didn't think the second one was nearly as
Speaker 2: terrible as I was expecting it to be. That's for sure.
Speaker 2: I my plans to see it and went and saw
Speaker 2: something else instead.
Speaker 1: Initially I thought the second one should have been able
Speaker 1: to strive to even be dog shit in that it
Speaker 1: was so much worse than that.
Speaker 2: Wow, you weren't even dog shit, bro.
Speaker 1: No, I did not like that second movie at all.
Speaker 1: The first one, it was an enjoyable time. I didn't
Speaker 1: love it at all, but that's that's all right. It
Speaker 1: wasn't made for me, and my kids loved it, and
Speaker 1: it was made for them.
Speaker 2: That was what was important, right, exactly, Like and I can,
Speaker 2: and just like you can acknowledge it. We can both
Speaker 2: acknowledge sometimes things ain't made for us, and that's okay.
Speaker 1: Like, yeah, exactly the first one. Just to get the
Speaker 1: mystique out of the air, I was not talking about
Speaker 1: Mortal Kombat. I just decided to throw up Resident Evil.
Speaker 1: The first one is a decent time. I don't really
Speaker 1: enjoy any of the sequels all that much. Even the
Speaker 1: first one is not great. But I'm glad that it's made,
Speaker 1: Glad that it has a fan base, Glad that it
Speaker 1: has taken off and gave Paul WS Anderson is his
Speaker 1: whole career basically fun movie, Yeah, not much so, so
Speaker 1: many people have talked about it. There's others that I'll
Speaker 1: talk about a lot more. Any thoughts on Resident Evil.
Speaker 2: The original one is a lot of fun. I mean,
Speaker 2: the original one is. I mean, for me, the original
Speaker 2: one is one of those movies where every time I
Speaker 2: watch it, I'm like, you know, Paul W. S Anderson
Speaker 2: made Look, he has directed one of my favorite movies
Speaker 2: that has now been reappraised, Event Horizon, Like I love
Speaker 2: Event Horizon has been reappraised now everybody loves it. Nobody
Speaker 2: liked it when it came out. Okay, we get it.
Speaker 2: Love Event Horizon.
Speaker 3: So Paul W.
Speaker 2: S Anderson is someone who I wish he had made
Speaker 2: more movies like Event Horizon and less Resident Eas Oh
Speaker 2: we all, yeah, Well that's that's I mean, it's like
Speaker 2: James Cameron, it's like, stop making those avatar movies, bro,
Speaker 2: and make something else, like just just please, like for
Speaker 2: me to you.
Speaker 3: And the same with Paul W.
Speaker 2: S Anderson, like I get it, you are really good
Speaker 2: at making Resident Evil movies. The Resident Evil movies that
Speaker 2: he made in that franchise are the good ones. Once
Speaker 2: he leaves, they're not. So I don't know. I'm kind
Speaker 2: of the same boat. Like the first one's great, everything
Speaker 2: pass that not. And I saw someone in the comments
Speaker 2: mentioning that the Welcome to Raccoon City Johanna's Roberts film
Speaker 2: not good. Uh, and boy, they really were plugging away
Speaker 2: at that movie like it was gonna be something.
Speaker 3: And Johanna's Roberts I like his.
Speaker 2: I like that Kong movie a lot. So, like we
Speaker 2: talked about Monster Verse movies, I did not like any
Speaker 2: of the Monster Verse movies, but the but he did, No,
Speaker 2: he did he not do Kong. No, he didn't do Kong.
Speaker 2: Never mind I thought he did Kong.
Speaker 1: Uh, no reason that I'm aware of. No, but he did.
Speaker 1: Primate he did, and it's very good.
Speaker 2: Right, which is that's the other So maybe that's what
Speaker 2: I was getting confused with Primate.
Speaker 3: I haven't seen yet, probably won't.
Speaker 2: Get a chance to go see it in theaters because
Speaker 2: it's still probably out somewhere for maybe another week.
Speaker 1: Maybe probably it did fairly well. Yeah, speaking of uh,
Speaker 1: Johannes Roberts whatever his name is. He he did a
Speaker 1: part of a VHS ninety nine that we spent since
Speaker 1: I talked about earlier and my big one nobody ever
Speaker 1: talks about The Strangers Prey at Night. Good movie, better
Speaker 1: movie than people give it credit for. He also did
Speaker 1: that one.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Stranger's Prey at Night is pretty good. Heck, can
Speaker 2: we say it's the only Good Strangers sequel?
Speaker 1: Oh well, there shouldn't be any other sequels, but yeah,
Speaker 1: and honestly, Pray at Night shouldn't have even existed, truly,
Speaker 1: it should have been left alone.
Speaker 2: But anyways, Yeah, that's I agree with that sentiment.
Speaker 1: Uh okay, So was that off of Paul W. S
Speaker 1: Anderson or did you say a title?
Speaker 2: I totally just know that was off of pauls Anderson.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, So what is your second one?
Speaker 2: So? My second one is the for Mario Brothers movie
Speaker 2: from nineteen ninety three, the right video.
Speaker 1: You knew that?
Speaker 3: Yeah, that movie is amazing.
Speaker 2: I think if you if you don't like that movie,
Speaker 2: it's probably because you've never seen it. Like it's it's
Speaker 2: It is a technically impressive movie. The sets are pretty wild.
Speaker 2: They made a lot of uh, they made a lot
Speaker 2: out of a little even though it was a pretty
Speaker 2: big budget movie. They actually like, the sets are wild.
Speaker 2: The fact that is Dennis Hopper in it as King
Speaker 2: Koopa is fucked.
Speaker 1: It is wild.
Speaker 2: It's a wild movie, like It's. It's one of those
Speaker 2: things where one of my favorite Disney movies, Meet the
Speaker 2: Deedles has Robert England is in it as a villain
Speaker 2: outside of makeup. Not no fanfare given to that. This
Speaker 2: man is Freddy Krueger. Same with Dennis Hopper, one of
Speaker 2: the great actors of all time playing Bowser like yeah,
Speaker 2: and and and that Bob Hoskins John like was Amo
Speaker 2: casting is out of control. Bob Hoskins was drunk and
Speaker 2: didn't know that Mario was a video game character until
Speaker 2: his son told him partially into filming. Like it's completely batshit.
Speaker 2: The movie's wild. Uh yeah, I don't. There's it. It
Speaker 2: is so visually interesting as a film, and the choices
Speaker 2: that are made are so weird, and Rocky Morten and
Speaker 2: Annabel Jenkle are just I don't know, Like I think
Speaker 2: the movie is unfortunately kind of given short shrift. It
Speaker 2: is not the film equivalent of the Atari et game,
Speaker 2: though I have heard it called that, and I have
Speaker 2: heard people drag it like that, but it is no.
Speaker 2: It is no failure as a film. It's not the
Speaker 2: film that came out the next year. It's not Double Dragon, okay,
Speaker 2: like that movie is actually not good, Like Super Mario
Speaker 2: Brothers is a movie worth checking out, worth reassessing. If
Speaker 2: you have never seen it, just go into it knowing
Speaker 2: very little. It It's not Mario. It's not really Mario,
Speaker 2: but it is.
Speaker 3: It's Mario.
Speaker 2: People who don't understand the it to Mario through the
Speaker 2: lens of the people who don't understand the appeal of
Speaker 2: the character.
Speaker 1: It's a unique movie. I will say that I don't
Speaker 1: have the history with this movie that many people have.
Speaker 1: I enjoy this movie. I don't. I definitely don't hate it,
Speaker 1: which a lot of people do, and I think that's unfair. Honestly,
Speaker 1: it's still just wild to me that this movie even exists.
Speaker 2: And it's the OG live action English video game adaptation. Yep,
Speaker 2: it is the og Like there's before ninety three. There
Speaker 2: are no video game adaptations, which is crazy because there
Speaker 2: are not a lot of genres that started after we
Speaker 2: were born. Most genres have a frame of reference pre
Speaker 2: are birth in the in the in the early nineties
Speaker 2: or the nineties, late eighties, like Mario came out in
Speaker 2: ninety three, three years after I was born. Like, that's
Speaker 2: that's not a thing. So it's also something that like,
Speaker 2: as a video game and a you know, video game
Speaker 2: enthusiast and game I would consider myself a little bit
Speaker 2: like protective of the video game adaptation genre as a
Speaker 2: franchise because it's something that we like. It's in direct
Speaker 2: response and the things that we love, so you know, kind
Speaker 2: of feels you know, when they're not good. It doesn't
Speaker 2: feel like a personal attack, but it definitely doesn't feel
Speaker 2: like the right people are doing these things. So, speaking
Speaker 2: of that, what's your next one?
Speaker 1: My next one? I'm curious if you've seen this one.
Speaker 1: I actually wanted to bring up the newer one, not
Speaker 1: Angelina Joe Lee, but the new.
Speaker 2: Tomb Raider movie, Candor one.
Speaker 1: The the Candor one. I feel like it is something
Speaker 1: something similar that we both like, which is Indiana Jones
Speaker 1: in a movie. For basically, it's the closest thing that
Speaker 1: we've gotten to that sort of feeling. It is fun,
Speaker 1: it's adventure, it's exciting, it's well made, and the candor
Speaker 1: is actually pretty great in it for a tomb Raider.
Speaker 2: I like that movie a fair amount. It's got big
Speaker 2: dog dogs in it as well.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yep, good for multiple times he's come up to. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think it's uh, it's an okayed adaptation. It's I mean,
Speaker 1: it's basically just a hot woman moving in a cave
Speaker 1: and that's good enough.
Speaker 2: So well, bro. I played, I actually over the weekend played.
Speaker 2: I received the I buy the Humble Bundle every month,
Speaker 2: and this month's Humble Bundle games. One of them was
Speaker 2: the remastered tomb Raider four, five, and six. Yikes, not good,
Speaker 2: no thanks, I'm good. They the tank controls were the default.
Speaker 2: I'm good.
Speaker 3: Yeah, not a not a tomb Raider guy.
Speaker 2: In terms of the games, I like the new games,
Speaker 2: which are just Uncharted with a woman instead of Nathan Drake,
Speaker 2: but tomb Raider with Alicia Vakandor. I saw it in theaters.
Speaker 2: I covered it on my show The Culture Cast back
Speaker 2: when it came out back in the day. I enjoyed it,
Speaker 2: and uh, what a great director named roar Outhog.
Speaker 1: It sounds like he is a tomb Raider himself.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, I would say it's a shame that that
Speaker 2: movie didn't get a sequel, and the end of that
Speaker 2: movie with Nick Frost as well set the stage for
Speaker 2: something that we never got any more of.
Speaker 3: So yeah, actually a good choice, good pick.
Speaker 1: I yah, they had talked supposedly about doing a sequel
Speaker 1: for years. I think they could still go back and
Speaker 1: do it. I mean, obviously Lisa mcandor still looks great,
Speaker 1: but it's not unheard of. I mean, we just talked
Speaker 1: about Utopia and Utopia too. It's different because it's animated,
Speaker 1: I guess, and the kids are all about it. But
Speaker 1: that is a little bit longer than what we got
Speaker 1: right now. Give us to Raider two.
Speaker 2: Well you know that there. You know that there is
Speaker 2: Tom Rader coming out right, I did not know. Yeah,
Speaker 2: there's a Tom Rader TV show coming out with Sophie Turner,
Speaker 2: the one of the Jonas.
Speaker 1: Wis Oh I know who Sophie Turner is?
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, one of the Jonas wives. That's a terrible
Speaker 2: way to refer.
Speaker 1: To her as it's an awful way to but.
Speaker 2: To be fair, I don't want to refer to her
Speaker 2: as the character from Game of Thrones because less said
Speaker 2: about that the better.
Speaker 3: So, yeah, Jean Gray and the X Men movies.
Speaker 1: I I know her because I watched the brand new
Speaker 1: movie Trust from this last year that she was the
Speaker 1: star of and it was hot garbage. It was so bad,
Speaker 1: so bad.
Speaker 2: I are you talking about? Yeah, I yeah, I yeah.
Speaker 2: I don't have a lot of like, I don't know,
Speaker 2: I don't have a lot of positive things because I
Speaker 2: haven't seen her in anything other than things where she
Speaker 2: wasn't great.
Speaker 3: So she looks the part.
Speaker 2: If you look at pictures of her as as Laura Croft,
Speaker 2: she looks the part, that's for sure. So but tank controls,
Speaker 2: by the way, are when you have to stop and move.
Speaker 2: You can't move what you can't turn while moving, so
Speaker 2: you have to stop and turn and then move in
Speaker 2: a sit so stupid, which, by the way, Resident Evil
Speaker 2: that was that was the thing with Resident Evil early
Speaker 2: on as well, was tank controls. Up until Resident Evil
Speaker 2: four it was tank controls all the way. So yeah, too,
Speaker 2: I love the I love I love the Late Games
Speaker 2: and I actually really like that Alicia Kandor movie, so.
Speaker 1: Good, pick nice. What is next for you?
Speaker 2: So my next one is again you know I mentioned
Speaker 2: you know well the one came out now and it
Speaker 2: didn't do a very good job at sparking joy. Silent
Speaker 2: Hill from two thousand and six, great movie, interesting visually,
Speaker 2: has a great cast. I think for me, Silent Hill
Speaker 2: is a weird game to adapt because Silent Hill is
Speaker 2: a very psychological horror game and that doesn't always translate
Speaker 2: well to the screen. And I think the visuals are interesting.
Speaker 2: They kind of are. They break the world that they're
Speaker 2: existing within in a lot of ways. But Silent Hill,
Speaker 2: I like that movie. I'm a Sean Bean guy too.
Speaker 2: He's not in it enough, but I like it. I
Speaker 2: was really disappointed to learn that the sequel, the direct
Speaker 2: sequel that has come out now, is not good, and
Speaker 2: it's directed by Christoph gonz who directed the original.
Speaker 3: He came back to this franchise.
Speaker 2: So I was disappointed more than most people might it
Speaker 2: might have been to learn that the new Silent Hill
Speaker 2: movie is not good. So Silent O from two thousand
Speaker 2: and six, have you seen it?
Speaker 1: Ages? Ago. Good movie, I mean not much. There's a
Speaker 1: lot of talk about Silent Hill right now, so I've
Speaker 1: been inundated with it a lot this week. Not much
Speaker 1: to add. The best thing is the visuals. That's that's
Speaker 1: really the hot part of that movie. It's not something
Speaker 1: that I expected to be as popular as it was,
Speaker 1: I gonna be honest, but I mean it's horror, so
Speaker 1: it takes off.
Speaker 3: Yeah it is.
Speaker 2: And Silent Hill leisure Suit Larry Wolfenstein would be a
Speaker 2: good one.
Speaker 3: I mean it would.
Speaker 1: Yeah. All right. My next one, this is the third one,
Speaker 1: is from friend of the channel Josh Rubin, and that
Speaker 1: is the movie were Wolves Within, which technically I don't
Speaker 1: know damn thing about the game. I just know that
Speaker 1: this is a video game adaptation and I think this
Speaker 1: movie is really damn fun. It is directed by Josh Ruben.
Speaker 1: It is starring Sam Richardson and Malta vins Trump. It
Speaker 1: is about a bunch of people that are stranded or
Speaker 1: not stranded. But there's a small town called Beaverfield, I think,
Speaker 1: and they are like stowed in and there is a
Speaker 1: new park ranger in town played by Sam Richardson, and
Speaker 1: he's this like super nice kind person and suddenly there's
Speaker 1: a bunch of murdering and havoc and it is really great.
Speaker 1: It is more of like a Who Done It movie
Speaker 1: than like a full on horror movie, but it's it's
Speaker 1: a blast. It's a lot of fun. The acting is
Speaker 1: surprisingly decent for what it is. The story is unique,
Speaker 1: and it's a great setting and really just I don't know,
Speaker 1: the chemistry of the cast is perfect.
Speaker 3: So we said video game adaptation.
Speaker 2: It's not board games, right, because yes, I mean, I
Speaker 2: mean you, I mean where wol was within is like,
Speaker 2: it's yeah, it's barely adeo game.
Speaker 1: It's because were Wolf.
Speaker 2: It's were Wolf in VR like, which is like, which
Speaker 2: cracks me up because the movie you described just like
Speaker 2: just someone made were Wolf the board game into a movie,
Speaker 2: which is yeah, which is funny because like that is
Speaker 2: such a that is such an interesting idea, and board
Speaker 2: game adaptations aren't a thing that even happened to have
Speaker 2: happened enough, So it's funny that this is you.
Speaker 1: Know, VRF of battleships.
Speaker 2: Remember how Rihanna was in that movie with Liam Neeson.
Speaker 2: Is Josh Duhamel in that film?
Speaker 1: Uh? I think? So? Yeah, it sounds right.
Speaker 2: Yeah, what's he up to these days? I think it's
Speaker 2: funny that this is a video game that's based off
Speaker 2: of a fucking card game, a social deduction game that
Speaker 2: you play with your friends when but yeah, yeah, it's
Speaker 2: barely it's like, yeah, it's barely even a game, like
Speaker 2: it's just a social deduction thing.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I I will tell you though, I love Sam Richardson
Speaker 2: with a is so funny. I know, I'm surprised that
Speaker 2: Tim from fucking Tim Robinson's not in it, really, you.
Speaker 1: Know, yeah, I twenty eighteen was he? I think he
Speaker 1: was still doing stuff for SNL or something. Maybe, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm not sure.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I just you know, I just love the two
Speaker 3: of them together.
Speaker 1: So yeah, always great, all right, next one for you?
Speaker 2: So my next one again, and it is, you know,
Speaker 2: we've we're kind of I feel like we're staying in
Speaker 2: a certain kind of time frame here, which is more
Speaker 2: recent than not. And you know, I mentioned the Mario movie,
Speaker 2: which does go back a ways, but you know, for me,
Speaker 2: I kind of mentioned twenty twenty as a year specific
Speaker 2: to this.
Speaker 3: Genre.
Speaker 2: Man, is there anything better than a return to form
Speaker 2: by Jim Carrey with Sonic the Hedgehog, Because that movie
Speaker 2: is so much fun, and Jim Carrey is so good
Speaker 2: and finally having fun again as an actor.
Speaker 1: And this is your fourth one, right, yeah, so my
Speaker 1: fourth one is Sonic the Hedgehog two.
Speaker 2: Okay, So I'll talk about Sonic and then you can
Speaker 2: talk about the sequel.
Speaker 3: The first one's amazing.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's Jim Carrey is so good, he's having
Speaker 2: fun again as an actor. The the initial ground swell
Speaker 2: about the design of Sonic was justified. I think the
Speaker 2: original Sonic design is exactly the kind of problem that
Speaker 2: video game movies experience for the longest time, which is
Speaker 2: the people who watch these movies don't want to see
Speaker 2: what the characters would look like for the video game.
Speaker 2: They want to see what they would look like in
Speaker 2: the real world. No, we fucking don't. If you're gonna
Speaker 2: make a Mario movie, make it Mario. If you're gonna
Speaker 2: make it Sonic, make it fucking Sonic. Don't don't shy
Speaker 2: away from the fact that it's a four foot tall
Speaker 2: blue hedgeot, right, please, Like, if you're gonna make a
Speaker 2: fucking movie about it, lean into it for God for
Speaker 2: God's sake. So yeah, the fact that they were like
Speaker 2: and let's get one of the great comedic actors of
Speaker 2: all time to be in the film and just let
Speaker 2: him do his thing for the Yeah, for the first
Speaker 2: time in a decade. Yeah.
Speaker 1: No.
Speaker 2: I adore the Sonic the Hedgehog movie, the first one.
Speaker 2: It is a It is a testament to what happens
Speaker 2: when you actually listen to the fans, and the fans
Speaker 2: have their hearts in the right place because there are
Speaker 2: Snyder cut stories at the Wazoo, the Sonic the Hedgehog
Speaker 2: people were not doing that. They had a very good
Speaker 2: argument against why Sonic didn't need to look like that,
Speaker 2: and the studio listened and the film is better for it.
Speaker 2: And again, like I said, Jim Carrey is great, James
Speaker 2: Marsden's great, and the story is fun because you take
Speaker 2: Sonic and you bring him into our world, so he's
Speaker 2: the fish out of water and it totally works. It
Speaker 2: actually one percent totally works. So I'm curious to hear
Speaker 2: your thoughts on the second one. But what did you
Speaker 2: think of the first one?
Speaker 1: I think it's great. I think the story's well done.
Speaker 1: I think all the characters are interesting. I think it's
Speaker 1: a funny way to adapt this, and I think Jim
Speaker 1: Carrey is the best thing about this movie. That and
Speaker 1: Ben Schwartz's great voice and just perfect choice for this.
Speaker 1: But really the reason I show was the second one
Speaker 1: is because I love all of that, and just adding
Speaker 1: in Tails with the voice of Idris Elba is just
Speaker 1: a wonderful choice. I thought it was really well done.
Speaker 1: It's a fun villain, it's exciting, it is electric on screen. Honestly,
Speaker 1: the Sobic franchise has not missed yet. All three are
Speaker 1: pretty great well, And I.
Speaker 2: Was gonna say, I mean, your love of the second
Speaker 2: one is understood.
Speaker 3: Have you watched the TV show based.
Speaker 1: On Knuckles with not yet? No?
Speaker 2: No, okay, because like that is then the further extension
Speaker 2: of that second movie. Like I love that second movie
Speaker 2: because of Knuckles. I think it's really fun that they
Speaker 2: did not do the Chris Pratt thing with the second
Speaker 2: movie and technically the first movie, which is they didn't
Speaker 2: recast uh, they didn't recast Tales. Tails is played by
Speaker 2: Colleen o shaughnessy, who is the woman that did the
Speaker 2: voice for the video game. And I love that because,
Speaker 2: you know, the Charles martinette of it all was something
Speaker 2: that I know a lot of people had a lot
Speaker 2: of problems with myself included. And look, Chris Pratt neither
Speaker 2: here nor there as an actor. He's fine as Mario,
Speaker 2: but colin O'Shaughnessy as Tales was such a smart move
Speaker 2: to leave her in there as the kind of grounding
Speaker 2: force of the trio from you know, recasting two of
Speaker 2: the three voices because Knuckles and Knuckles and Sonic are
Speaker 2: not the character voices from anything other than these movies.
Speaker 1: So it is true.
Speaker 2: And yet Jim in the second movie with that mustache, yeah,
Speaker 2: he looks like Robotnic in the second movie. I'll give
Speaker 2: you that, Like that's where he looks like Robotnic. F Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 2: what a wild what a wild franchise that's been successful
Speaker 2: like that saw it through to the end. You know,
Speaker 2: three movies and they were all successful and they've all
Speaker 2: made money. Like great, you know, I'm glad it really is.
Speaker 1: So that they're working on a fourth one.
Speaker 3: Are they? Oh yeah, oh my god, of course, wow.
Speaker 1: Okay, this is printing money, of course they are.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it is, yeah, it is. It literally is.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it sure is printing money.
Speaker 1: All right, what is your last one?
Speaker 2: Then this is where I knuckleball it uh Doom from
Speaker 2: two thousand and five. I could have said the other
Speaker 2: video game movie that came out that year, OVA Bulls
Speaker 2: Alone in the Dark, starring Christian Slater and Tara Reid.
Speaker 1: Well, I'm choosing a Bull's House of the Dead for number. No,
Speaker 1: I'm just kidding, not no, you are not all right?
Speaker 1: Tell us about Doom.
Speaker 3: Doude is a great movie.
Speaker 1: It is.
Speaker 3: It's fun.
Speaker 2: Okay, it's Carl Urban, It's the Rock, It's Rosamund Pike.
Speaker 2: I mean, Carl Urban is not bad in anything he's
Speaker 2: ever been in The Rock not so much. But Carl
Speaker 2: urben so much fun and he's the main character of
Speaker 2: the movie. Like, it's not a rock movie, it's a
Speaker 2: Carl Urban movie. So that's why I resonate with it.
Speaker 2: And I'm a huge Doo Doom guy. I played Doom
Speaker 2: a lot growing up. That's something that my dad and
Speaker 2: I played when I was a kid on the computer.
Speaker 2: So I have a lot of love for first person
Speaker 2: shooters and I have a lot of love for Doom.
Speaker 2: And yeah, it's maybe not the best movie, but it's fun.
Speaker 2: It's dumb, it's big and loud, and it's exactly.
Speaker 3: What a Doom movie needs to be.
Speaker 2: In my opinion, like Doom is a franchise that wears
Speaker 2: its influences on its sleeve. It's heavy metal, it's hardcore.
Speaker 2: You're ripping demons apart and ripping their eyeballs out and
Speaker 2: jamming their horns into their mouths and all sorts of
Speaker 2: vile things. So Doom probably hasn't been adapted to the
Speaker 2: fullest extent it needs to be. Maybe astron six could
Speaker 2: adapt Doom and turn it into something truly like Psycho Gorman,
Speaker 2: the void level of body horror and rip and tear
Speaker 2: and you know, pulling demons apart. But this checks enough
Speaker 2: of the boxes for me, as a fan of the
Speaker 2: franchise to say, you know, check it out. The sequel
Speaker 2: is just a mess, so you know, don't watch a
Speaker 2: Doom Annihilation. But the Doom film from two thousand and
Speaker 2: five I think is fun.
Speaker 1: I gotta be honest, I barely remember this movie. Carl
Speaker 1: Arban's great, I will agree with that. I need to
Speaker 1: see it again. Well I probably don't need to see
Speaker 1: it again, but yeah, yeah, you do.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I like to Seeattle tomorrow.
Speaker 3: You can watch it on the plane.
Speaker 2: I got stuff to do that doesn't involve this.
Speaker 1: It's true one movie that I think I could give
Speaker 1: you one hundred and fifty chances and you'd never know
Speaker 1: what I was about to say. I am excited because
Speaker 1: I don't think you've seen this movie. In fact, I'm
Speaker 1: fairly certain you haven't. My movie is from twenty nineteen.
Speaker 1: It is a Taiwanese psychological horror movie called Detention. Detention
Speaker 1: is basically a sort of similar movie to Silent Hill
Speaker 1: in a few ways, especially in a lot of the visuals.
Speaker 1: But this is a movie that is set during nineteen
Speaker 1: sixty two, during the White Terror period, and it's about
Speaker 1: two of the students that are sort of stuck in
Speaker 1: their high school at night and trying to find a
Speaker 1: missing teacher. And it's this weird mix of like surreal
Speaker 1: psychological horror and some awkward situations that you don't really
Speaker 1: know what's happening, but the like the undercurrent of what
Speaker 1: it sounds like is happening just makes you feel gross,
Speaker 1: and then you get some scenes of true like visceral
Speaker 1: disgust and terror. And I love this movie. This movie
Speaker 1: is one of the first movies that I watched that
Speaker 1: made me like deep dive research for a week afterwards
Speaker 1: because I realized I'm just an ignorant American and I
Speaker 1: know nothing about the White Terror period in Taiwan, looked
Speaker 1: it up and was appalled. Mediately had to go read
Speaker 1: like a whole bunch of shit about it. Love this movie.
Speaker 1: Everybody needs to see it. It got a physical media
Speaker 1: release here in the US from one of the Ocean
Speaker 1: Partner labels check out Detention from twenty nineteen.
Speaker 3: I have heard of it, I have not seen it,
Speaker 3: so I has for.
Speaker 1: The equation better than it could have been. Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 2: I have an interesting question to round this episode out, What,
Speaker 2: in your opinion is the worst video game adaptation that
Speaker 2: you have seen? Because that's the thing here, right Like,
Speaker 2: the fact that the ones we talked about are good
Speaker 2: is kind of the outlier in this argument. That's been
Speaker 2: the whole argument about video game adaptations, right right, is
Speaker 2: none of them have been good. And now in the
Speaker 2: last five six years, we've been getting good video game adaptations.
Speaker 2: So by your approximation, what's the worst one? Because I
Speaker 2: have an answer, and I think it's an answer that's
Speaker 2: going to come from the same place of a lot
Speaker 2: of people. Because the promise was there the director I
Speaker 2: think could have been interesting and it ended up just
Speaker 2: being a complete and utter mess which I have seen
Speaker 2: even I can't I wouldn't comment on any of these
Speaker 2: if I hadn't seen him. It is a movie that
Speaker 2: I am genuinely appalled by in a lot of ways.
Speaker 2: But I'm curious if you have an answer.
Speaker 1: Scrolling through one of the lists real quick, I think
Speaker 1: the only one that I can say that fits everything
Speaker 1: that you just said, that I've seen made by somebody
Speaker 1: that could be interesting that is truly appalling is doa
Speaker 1: Dead or Alive?
Speaker 3: Oh okay, I went with Borderlands.
Speaker 1: See I've never seen Borderlands there.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, Borderlands is really an affront to both fans
Speaker 2: of the video game, which are many. It is a
Speaker 2: very popular video game franchise. Obviously, unpopular franchises do not
Speaker 2: get adapted. But Eli Roth could have been an interesting
Speaker 2: director because he's a very subversive guy who kind of
Speaker 2: has his finger on the pulse of things. It is
Speaker 2: a really bad movie, and yeah, like, I don't know
Speaker 2: why he adapted it. I don't know what they were thinking.
Speaker 2: I don't know why. Jamie Lee Curtis is just like
Speaker 2: breasts are out the entire film. More or less, it's
Speaker 2: a strange movie. Uh. It has again, it's the it
Speaker 2: is the it is the uh example that proves the
Speaker 2: rule of Jack Black being good in videoka movies because
Speaker 2: he's also in it as claptrap and he can't save it.
Speaker 2: Kate Blanchett should never have been in that movie. Kevin
Speaker 2: Hart is in that movie. Like I I rest like,
Speaker 2: I don't understand whatsoever whose idea j Gina Gershan also,
Speaker 2: her breasts are just hanging out in the movie. I'm
Speaker 2: not Like, if you've seen the movie, you know what
Speaker 2: I'm talking about. Like, there is just a lot of
Speaker 2: like weird cleavage in the movie that just seems completely unnecessary,
Speaker 2: and it's like, Eli Roth, what are you doing? Like,
Speaker 2: I don't know. I didn't understand the reasoning behind it.
Speaker 2: I didn't understand why anyone went and saw it, and
Speaker 2: by all approximations, nobody did.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I get it. I've never played Borderline, so
Speaker 1: I don't have the affinity for it. I know everybody
Speaker 1: that did seem to hate the fucking movie. So that's
Speaker 1: a good answer. If Eric is watching, she's me be
Speaker 1: very happy that you talked down about Eli Roth because
Speaker 1: she hates him.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not a fan of his either, Like whatsoever.
Speaker 2: I think that Eli Roth has a lot of positive
Speaker 2: things he's done for the film community, but there's also
Speaker 2: a lot of stuff from like Eli like I'm just
Speaker 2: not I don't vibe with you man. Yeah, movie called
Speaker 2: ice Cream Man this year.
Speaker 1: I can't wait to see it. Yeah, sound here and
Speaker 1: then hopefully the Thanksgiving sequel here soon too.
Speaker 2: I enjoyed it. I enjoyed that Thanksgiving, Like that was
Speaker 2: the thing Eli Roth for me, Like I went from Thanksgiving,
Speaker 2: which I loved, speaking of the grindhouse of all of this,
Speaker 2: to go all the way back to what we were
Speaker 2: talking about at the opening of the show, Like that
Speaker 2: movie's amazing, it's so much fun, it's way better than
Speaker 2: it has any right to be. And then he makes
Speaker 2: what like that was such a return to form for
Speaker 2: me with Eli Roth, and then like he just like
Speaker 2: went and just like soured all of it with a
Speaker 2: really lackluster attempt at a video game adaptation. Some I
Speaker 2: think video game adaptations are very hard, Like I don't
Speaker 2: think they're easy, And I think for me, like, as
Speaker 2: someone who loves video games, I think it's best to
Speaker 2: be long form with it, like Fallout. I know people
Speaker 2: some people don't like it, but fall Out as a
Speaker 2: TV show is great. Last of Us was great. They're
Speaker 2: making a God of War TV show. That Halo show
Speaker 2: wasn't as terrible as it could have been. You know,
Speaker 2: there's a lot of options out there to adapt video games.
Speaker 2: I don't think film is the best way to do
Speaker 2: it film as in a movie.
Speaker 3: I think TV is the best way to do it.
Speaker 1: So understandable, totally get that there's been a fun conversation.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think so, But to a shame I never
Speaker 2: got to do it on Film Foundations.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was That was one of the plans for sure.
Speaker 1: Speaking of Film Foundations, pick a show, tell Everybody one
Speaker 1: of the shows on weirding Way Media that's not a
Speaker 1: Cristashi podcast.
Speaker 2: God, there are so many. The Projection Booth is obviously
Speaker 2: the big one. That's Mike White's show where he talks
Speaker 2: about movies once, sometimes two or even three times a week,
Speaker 2: covering all genres, new, old, mostly things that you probably
Speaker 2: are less familiar with there, you know, less mainstream stuff,
Speaker 2: which is why I love Mike's show.
Speaker 3: Midnight Viewing is also great.
Speaker 2: That's Father Malone's Horror Anthology show where he covers horror
Speaker 2: anthology series of shows. Feminine critique is great. Emily La Ravia,
Speaker 2: Emily intra RAVI excuse me. Her show is fantastic. Mike
Speaker 2: has been on there a couple of times. She always
Speaker 2: does some really interesting coverage around the holidays with covering
Speaker 2: like Hallmark Movies and I think last year she covered
Speaker 2: that Christmas in Connecticut film which has Chevy Chase. And
Speaker 2: then the big one, the award winning one Eighties TV Ladies,
Speaker 2: which is hosted by Susan Lambert and Sharon Johnson. They
Speaker 2: talk about eighties TV shows, uh with a with a
Speaker 2: primarily feminine or female cast from a feminine perspective. So
Speaker 2: those are the shows that I would, you know, preach
Speaker 2: the praises of so Film Foundations. Though was a fun time,
Speaker 2: you know. Last time I was on here, we were
Speaker 2: talking about the show being kiboshed, so I guess we
Speaker 2: stuck to it.
Speaker 1: Ryan. We have not done an episode since then and
Speaker 1: seemingly probably won't be happening anytime soon at.
Speaker 3: This point now, it would seem that way.
Speaker 1: Yes, unfortunately, but also fortunately thanks for Reagan out tonight
Speaker 1: been a good show. Glad you were here, glad to
Speaker 1: talk to Thank you for having me always. Everybody, see
Speaker 1: y'all next Thursday. It's, of course, the first day Thursday
Speaker 1: of the month, which means the good Doctor will be

Speaker 3: Chris, I'm disappointed that he's not here.
Speaker 2: Now with us, probably that we all know that West
Speaker 2: Coast elite's probably in bed with a nice class classic LASSA.
Speaker 2: Well he's I mean, I mean he's a West Coast
Speaker 2: elite on the in an East Coast body. Yes, he's
Speaker 2: probably in bed right now with a warm glass of
Speaker 2: milk with his nightcap on, sitting in bed reading something
Speaker 2: more interesting than either one of us could ever imagine.

Speaker 5: very nostalgic for me. I love the aesthetic, the tropes,
Speaker 5: and I love seeing different filmmakers takes on them at
Speaker 5: their best. They're incredibly entertaining, rewatchable, and some of my
Speaker 5: all time favorite movies are Westerns. We'll mostly focus on
