Speaker 1: You are now listening to the Someone's Favorite Productions podcast Network.
Speaker 2: Welcome to the first Thursday in December. Welcome back to Reconnected.
Speaker 2: Willson is cute little sweater. Look at you? Ready for
Speaker 2: holiday stuff? How are we doing, sir?
Speaker 3: Uh? Happy winter holidays?
Speaker 2: Happy winter holidays. Indeed, Uh, it's it's freaking cold already.
Speaker 3: Well, don't worry. Climate change will take care of that
Speaker 3: soon enough.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, very very soon. It's been a tumultuous month
Speaker 2: since the last time you were on. I hope all
Speaker 2: has been well. How was Thanksgiving for the family?
Speaker 3: It was fine. My mama made collar greens good check out.
Speaker 3: We were colorically irresponsible.
Speaker 2: How about you about the same, just no collar greens
Speaker 2: because we have no culture. It's been all right, you know,
Speaker 2: the regular stuff. Like I told you a couple days ago,
Speaker 2: we had a plumbing fiasco. I had to get taken
Speaker 2: care of this last weekend, and of course it was
Speaker 2: a holiday weekend, so it cost four hundred dollars for
Speaker 2: him to be working for I think it was like
Speaker 2: twelve minutes that he was in our sub basement. Pissed
Speaker 2: me off. Everybody's asking if you were in a Freddy sweater.
Speaker 3: It is a Freddie sweater doubles as a Christmas sweater
Speaker 3: because Freddy sweater is a Christmas later. So I like
Speaker 3: to be like, uh, elon musk. I like to be efficient.
Speaker 3: We've got two things in one, two references.
Speaker 2: I love it. We have a ton of stuff cover tonight.
Speaker 2: We're at like over ninety pages of announcements to go
Speaker 2: over in our show tonight. That'll be a hell of
Speaker 2: a lot of fun. But before that, over the last month,
Speaker 2: we've had some announcements come out, some pickups that we've had,
Speaker 2: some stuff that we're watching. You're all excited to talk
Speaker 2: about recent watches. You want to start there?
Speaker 3: Wow, I really.
Speaker 2: Want to hear because it the last couple of months
Speaker 2: you've been diving into the mainstream Drek, and I love
Speaker 2: to hear that. You love the weirdest out of nowhere movies.
Speaker 3: Generally in storytelling, you like to build suspense.
Speaker 2: No, I'm all about the release.
Speaker 3: I don't even I don't even need to make the joke.
Speaker 3: That's why I made it.
Speaker 2: You're welcome.
Speaker 3: Golly. No, we're gonna talk about pickups first. That's what
Speaker 3: we always do.
Speaker 2: Fine, let's do it. We got a pair of pickups
Speaker 2: that I believe are the same for both of.
Speaker 3: Us more than likely. Shall I hold them up to
Speaker 3: the camera.
Speaker 2: Let's do it first. Yeah, Pheladay four K from Deaf
Speaker 2: Crocodile in.
Speaker 3: There.
Speaker 2: It is beautiful box set. Honored to be a part
Speaker 2: of this. You want to tell them about the commentary.
Speaker 3: Yeah, this was a great honor and many thanks to
Speaker 3: Craig and Dennis for trusting us to do this. You know,
Speaker 3: from an offhand memory lapse about a year ago in
Speaker 3: which I asked for the title of a cat movie.
Speaker 3: A year later, we were asked to give a commentary
Speaker 3: for probably the ultimate cat movie, FeelA Day from nineteen
Speaker 3: ninety four. You know, when you think about experts in
Speaker 3: German animation, really there are only two names that could
Speaker 3: possibly come to mind, neither of which belonged to us.
Speaker 3: What Nevertheless, we did the commentary and I thought it
Speaker 3: turned out pretty well, and I hope, I hope some
Speaker 3: people get to enjoy it. The film first, which is amazing.
Speaker 3: There are some incredible interviews Walter Charles essay if you
Speaker 3: get the limited edition. I just I can't believe that
Speaker 3: this just came yesterday evening, So I haven't even been
Speaker 3: able to put it in yet. I would be watching
Speaker 3: it now, but unfortunately have made a commitment to you,
Speaker 3: so here I am.
Speaker 2: I will say, oh yeah, we are on the wrong
Speaker 2: side of the screen. I apologize for everybody that's used
Speaker 2: to that. I was having mic issues so I had
Speaker 2: to jump out of the stream literally four times before
Speaker 2: we went live. The The whole process of Philaday has
Speaker 2: been incredible, so once again thanks to Dennis and Craig.
Speaker 2: I hope people listen to the commentary and enjoy it
Speaker 2: because the cat puns are absolutely worth it.
Speaker 3: I also will highly recommend the Deaf Crocodile podcast, which
Speaker 3: has some of the most wonderful digressions. And if you
Speaker 3: if you, I mean just I'll be real this this
Speaker 3: is a podcast for movie geeks. Oh yeah, you're a
Speaker 3: casual fan or just just somebody who collects for the
Speaker 3: for the slipcases, this podcast probably isn't for you, but
Speaker 3: if if you're really interested in learning about what goes
Speaker 3: into archiving, what goes into restoration, what goes into tracking
Speaker 3: down licensing rights, you couldn't get a better and more
Speaker 3: entertaining education. So highly recommend that podcast, which I have
Speaker 3: not been on yet.
Speaker 2: Once again. You said that earlier this week. Literally not true.
Speaker 3: You had me, You filmed me clandestinely in the dark
Speaker 3: for a three minute add on sequence. I was like
Speaker 3: the mid credit sequence in a superhero movie.
Speaker 2: All the bridesmaids, never the bride. Let's go to the
Speaker 2: other one, which is the Golden Fern. The next def
Speaker 2: Crocodile title and the perfect example of a film from
Speaker 2: them that you've probably never heard of that will be
Speaker 2: beautiful the moment you pop it in. But also the
Speaker 2: fact that all of their art is always just astonishing,
Speaker 2: really really great art. Beth Morris does most of the
Speaker 2: inner arts on the standard editions. This is a great movie,
Speaker 2: a lot of great bonus features. Again highly reck picking
Speaker 2: both of these up. They should be shipping here pretty
Speaker 2: soon to you. And uh again, we're gonna be talking
Speaker 2: about subscribing to Deaf Crocodile to night, but I would
Speaker 2: say for me, and not just because they're in the
Speaker 2: chat right now, but one of the safest bets to
Speaker 2: subscribe to, because I don't think there's been a release
Speaker 2: yet that I've been even remotely disappointed having watched one
Speaker 2: of the movies, which I don't think I could say
Speaker 2: that about any other label to this point.
Speaker 3: Other pickups, other pickups. Let's see, did I show this
Speaker 3: last month from Keno Edgar ge Omer's blue Beard? Pretty
Speaker 3: excited about that one. Everybody's newest favorite auteur Sidney J. Fury.
Speaker 3: I picked up the Ipcris file.
Speaker 2: Nice.
Speaker 3: Everybody's been getting on my ass about this, So I'm
Speaker 3: finally gonna watch Fear. Was it called Fear?
Speaker 2: Funny enough? I just got that in today. I just
Speaker 2: it's out in the mailbox. I haven't put on shoes
Speaker 2: yet today, so I haven't gotten done it.
Speaker 3: Very pleased about the Blu Ray upgrade to Cat Blue
Speaker 3: Lee Marvin's Oscar performance.
Speaker 2: That's that's from Sony Direct, right they did that one?
Speaker 3: Yeah, from one of the archives. One of my very
Speaker 3: favorite Fred Zinnamon movies. Act of Violence, Well, great noir,
Speaker 3: let's see, and of course there was a criterion. Sayal,
Speaker 3: I heard love Karen Krisana finally got girl Fights.
Speaker 2: Nice.
Speaker 3: I'm sure everybody picked up Paper Moon, speed it up
Speaker 3: here Pandora's box. Did you get this or did you
Speaker 3: get Eureka? Either way, you're a winner, that's true. And
Speaker 3: I will say Gregor Raki's I love the Doom Generation
Speaker 3: back in the day, and I haven't. I've never seen
Speaker 3: totally aft up.
Speaker 2: So either of I I've seen nowhere in Doom Generation.
Speaker 3: But I nowhere too. And then finally, for reasons that well,
Speaker 3: actually I can say right soon to be a favorite
Speaker 3: Christmas movie. Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus nineteen
Speaker 3: seventy seven starring Charles Bronson.
Speaker 2: Discovered last month that shout put that out on Blu Ray.
Speaker 2: Because you did not know that, I.
Speaker 3: Don't know how I didn't. I've been looking for it forever.
Speaker 3: It was because I was I thought it was Miracle
Speaker 3: on thirty fourth Street with Charles. So yeah, those are
Speaker 3: my pickups for the month, how about you, sir?
Speaker 2: Well, first, I am very proud to share through our
Speaker 2: one and only. Also in the chat, mister Stan Geezy
Speaker 2: sent me a DVD of a film that he helped
Speaker 2: with called Lord Protector The Riddle of the Chosen. He says,
Speaker 2: it's an awful movie, but he helped put together the
Speaker 2: the what is it called here into the Matrix the
Speaker 2: Making of Lord Protector, and he was on a set
Speaker 2: for some of this, So I need to watch that.
Speaker 2: I brought that down. I wasn't gonna share it until
Speaker 2: I watched that one, but I figured I should share
Speaker 2: it because I was very adamant with Stan about a
Speaker 2: month and a half ago that I was not gonna
Speaker 2: buy this. And I can still say fully honestly, I
Speaker 2: did not buy this, but I did trade for it
Speaker 2: because I had a box set that somebody else wanted
Speaker 2: to This was the only thing that they had that
Speaker 2: I was partially interested in. I got in the Caligula
Speaker 2: Deluxe Set from Umbrella, and this thing is so freakin
Speaker 2: big for a film that I am not even like
Speaker 2: super interested in. This is such overkill. I am astonished
Speaker 2: that it weighs almost as much as one of my children.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 3: Yeah, did you pick.
Speaker 2: Of any of the newest releases of Cligler?
Speaker 3: No? I have the what is it? The I've got
Speaker 3: the Imperial Edition. All Tinto Brass movies.
Speaker 2: Are always within reach.
Speaker 3: This, by the way, is an entire row of Tinto
Speaker 3: Brass and other cult epics releases. Uh. And you know
Speaker 3: I'm interested in seeing that, but not interested in paying
Speaker 3: for it, So.
Speaker 2: Neither was I, which is why I did not. And
Speaker 2: I'm so glad that I was able to trade for
Speaker 2: it and didn't have to put down any money at all.
Speaker 2: Matthew wants to know which Colligilia version is the most explicit,
Speaker 2: asking for a friend. I believe that's just the regular theatrical.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, yeah, the Bob GUCCIONI cut.
Speaker 2: Right, the original theatrical. Then the last thing that I'm
Speaker 2: gonna share, because I think you and I both already
Speaker 2: talked about this offline, but did not do much Black
Speaker 2: Friday shopping. But I had like a small amount of
Speaker 2: money for my discs for the month and got in
Speaker 2: this set, which, as you can see, have not even
Speaker 2: torn the plastic off yet because it just got here.
Speaker 2: But I can't even share this on the screen properly
Speaker 2: because it's so big.
Speaker 3: The frank.
Speaker 2: And this thing I'm gonna move the mic back is
Speaker 2: such a unique shape. It's got a little chin so
Speaker 2: that it pops off of your shelf in a unique
Speaker 2: way so that you can pull everything out of the
Speaker 2: front and it's like presented to you. And I just
Speaker 2: wanted to point out again how Sony is literally the
Speaker 2: only studio that I feel like genuinely cares about physical
Speaker 2: media for their films at this point, Warner Brothers is
Speaker 2: a continuous let down. Versa will put out a blu
Speaker 2: ray with no special features and then eight months later
Speaker 2: do a four K with no special features again. MGM,
Speaker 2: pretty much nothing. Everything else is rough. We are in
Speaker 2: a barren wasteland just waiting between Sony releases. It feels like,
Speaker 2: well on the boutiques, I'm just talking about studio stuff.
Speaker 2: I mean, you should be able to count on them
Speaker 2: for something.
Speaker 3: When I mean I just don't. I just don't care
Speaker 3: about that stuff.
Speaker 2: I mean, you have a Sony release in your pickups
Speaker 2: and I too. That's that's what I mean. What capaloo?
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, it's got nothing new on it.
Speaker 2: Of course, not because that movie's not a part of
Speaker 2: one of these these bonus releases that they're doing it,
Speaker 2: but no other like Warner Brothers isn't putting out single
Speaker 2: releases like that of their older titles that they have. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and that Disney's a completely different altogether.
Speaker 3: Yeah, as far as studio stuff goes, I get stuff
Speaker 3: when it comes out, but like you know, if it
Speaker 3: was made in this century, I probably don't care to
Speaker 3: own it, right, not because of prejudice, because of objective fact.
Speaker 3: They suck.
Speaker 2: Oh wow, all right, that means time to talk about
Speaker 2: some of those recent films that we've been watching. And
Speaker 2: I'm you've been hyping this up for ages. I'm just
Speaker 2: so excited to find.
Speaker 3: Out when one time, Nope.
Speaker 2: It's been twice on multiple weeks of phone calls.
Speaker 3: One time I said, you'll laugh at what I watched
Speaker 3: this past month, So let's hear it. Okay, Well, I'll
Speaker 3: start with the stuff that's more typical for me. Over Thanksgiving,
Speaker 3: I was visiting family, which meant that the Criterion streaming
Speaker 3: platform is what we were going to munch. So I
Speaker 3: checked out a couple of very interesting Columbia noir uh
Speaker 3: that they currently have in a curated set. I saw
Speaker 3: Hugo Haas's Strange Fascination. I got. I really like Hugo Haas.
Speaker 3: I wrote about his film Lizzie, which is an adaptation
Speaker 3: of Shirley Jackson's The Bird's Nest. I wrote about it
Speaker 3: for in an essay that appeared in a book called
Speaker 3: Shirley Jackson A Companion. Strange Fascination. So, Hugo Haas is
Speaker 3: one of Scorsese's favorite directors, and uh, he's He's this
Speaker 3: guy who terribly traumatized, as one would be by the Holocaust,
Speaker 3: fled poland his brother, who was a renowned pianist, and
Speaker 3: his father were killed in Auschwitz. He came to Hollywood
Speaker 3: and started making b noir films, all of which were
Speaker 3: extremely masochistic and kinky like. He's super obsessed with blondes,
Speaker 3: and in this one strange fascination he directed and stars
Speaker 3: as a concert pianist who comes to America to seek
Speaker 3: fame and fortune, only to be brought down at the
Speaker 3: feet of an icy blonde. Even features an explicit scene
Speaker 3: of cuckolding that's quite entertaining to watch with my seventy
Speaker 3: four year old parents. Also saw Jacques Tunur's Nightfall with
Speaker 3: Aldo Ray and it was nice. Death by Snowblower Wisconsin
Speaker 3: Noir Wyoming not Wisconsin Wyoming Noir Got My I Got
Speaker 3: My w s. It's mixed up Nightfall. That's great. Jack
Speaker 3: Tinner also saw this. This is great, This should be
Speaker 3: re released. A little noir called The Killer That's Stalked
Speaker 3: in New York City and it's about jewel smugglers. Right.
Speaker 3: This woman smuggles some jewels from Cuba, only to find
Speaker 3: that her two time and boyfriend is cheating on her
Speaker 3: with her sister. And also that she has smallpox, and
Speaker 3: the movie, Yeah, it's Plague Nore Smallpox starts going around
Speaker 3: New York City. Dead Kids, Erica. I can't remember if
Speaker 3: this one's in your book, but if it's not, there's
Speaker 3: Dead Kids. Smallpox starts going around New York and it
Speaker 3: becomes a propaganda film about getting vaccinated and how important
Speaker 3: that is is to h to patriotism seems quaint. And finally, finally, finally,
Speaker 3: I watched what is often hailed as one of the
Speaker 3: greatest Icelandic films ever made, Rams You're Here. Rams is
Speaker 3: directed by Greamer Hackerson, and it's about these two brothers
Speaker 3: who raised sheeps and haven't spoken each other in forty years.
Speaker 3: And you would not believe how much Penis is in
Speaker 3: this movie. Not Ram Penis old Guy Penis. Old Guy
Speaker 3: Penis got two requests for title repeats Stan the Plague
Speaker 3: Noir is the killer that stalked New York and Erica again, apologies,
Speaker 3: this may be in the book and I just missed it,
Speaker 3: but the Dead Kid movie is the killer that stalked
Speaker 3: New York. All right, So those now I'm gonna tell
Speaker 3: you the things that you know you're gonna laugh about.
Speaker 3: I don't know about you, but I got a little
Speaker 3: depressed at the beginning of the month. Oh you don't
Speaker 3: say yeah, oh yeah. There was an Aussie remake of
Speaker 3: Rams with Samuel I believe les penis stupid. Yeah, And
Speaker 3: so I did something that I don't think I ever
Speaker 3: thought that I would have done ever. But I was
Speaker 3: just like, you know what, I can't sleep, I can't
Speaker 3: think right, I can't speak, can't talk, can't do anything
Speaker 3: I want right, danzing. So I decided to watch the
Speaker 3: entire DC Universe film series. I had seen some of them.
Speaker 3: These the this is what I watched this month, Man
Speaker 3: of Steel, whoa Batman v? Superman, Dawn of Justice, The
Speaker 3: Ultimate Cut, whoa Aquaman? Guy's good looking plus plus there's
Speaker 3: a little Dolph Lungern so oh man uh and I'm
Speaker 3: I'm also team Amber heard so Shazam, no reaction, mildly
Speaker 3: amusing Birds of Prey, Okay, okay, black Adam. I liked it.
Speaker 3: I liked it by the guy who did the Shallows,
Speaker 3: which is like one of my favorite shark. I thought, no,
Speaker 3: he had a reason to be mad. He had a
Speaker 3: reason to be mad. I liked the fact that he
Speaker 3: kills the ship out of everybody. Yes, I watched a
Speaker 3: lot of c g I, but I liked Black Adam
Speaker 3: Uh Shazam two not quite as amusing. Just like, just
Speaker 3: like regular kids, once they get the adolescence, they're not
Speaker 3: as fun to be around and okay, here it comes.
Speaker 3: Oh no, I'd already seen those two. I've already seen
Speaker 3: the Wonder Woman as well, and the Snyder cut of
Speaker 3: Justice League. It's pretty comprehensive. But I kind of liked
Speaker 3: the Flash. I can't believe it. I don't even like
Speaker 3: that character, but I watched the FLA last night and
Speaker 3: I laughed at the funny parts.
Speaker 2: And were they the parts that were meant to be funny?
Speaker 3: I think so. I I intensely enjoyed the nearly Baker's
Speaker 3: dozen of dead CGI babies. H yeah, So all I
Speaker 3: have left is Blue Beetle and Aquaman two.
Speaker 2: You have watched so many more of those than me,
Speaker 2: It is crazy.
Speaker 3: I've watched all of them except for those two.
Speaker 2: I've watched I think two out of the entire universe.
Speaker 3: I'm not proud of it. It's kind of like, I
Speaker 3: don't know, I did not see League of Super Pets.
Speaker 3: That's true.
Speaker 2: Uh, is that is that it that you wanted to highlight?
Speaker 3: Yeah, dude, I I know that I've put myself like
Speaker 3: much closer to death much. Oh. I also saw Nora.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, you went with that and John went to
Speaker 3: see Anora in the theater. What do you think of
Speaker 3: another another superhero movie? In a way, what did I
Speaker 3: think of it? It's pretty good, you know. I like
Speaker 3: Sean Baker. Are you are you familiar with his work?
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's pretty He's pretty all right.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, you know, Mikey Madson's performance is great.
Speaker 3: I just I like realized afterwards that she was Pamela
Speaker 3: Adline's older daughter in that.
Speaker 2: TV show that Yep, Better Things.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, no, it was pretty good. Oh that's right, Erica.
Speaker 3: I also watched on at the recommendation of Unsung Horrors,
Speaker 3: I watched Doppelganger, the nineteen ninety four sweaty neo noir
Speaker 3: with Drew Barrymore, and it was unfreaking believable. One of
Speaker 3: the greatest climaxes, actually several of the greatest climaxes in
Speaker 3: movie history. I think Doppelganger needs to be a cinematic
Speaker 3: graphe release.
Speaker 2: I think that would be excellent, especially after listening to
Speaker 2: that episode. My week, I've been trying to catch up
Speaker 2: with some of the ones from this year that I've
Speaker 2: wanted to so I could get caught up before award season,
Speaker 2: even though much of the ones that I rewatched or
Speaker 2: watched will not be in consideration for any of these awards.
Speaker 2: I caught up with It's What's Inside a Netflix film.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Okay, what's that about.
Speaker 2: It's What's Inside. It is about a group of friends
Speaker 2: that are preparing for a wedding and one of them
Speaker 2: is like a tech bro that went and worked for
Speaker 2: some Silvergon Valley company in for the last like six years,
Speaker 2: they've been working on some prototype and he's got this
Speaker 2: briefcase and when you open it up, he's got what
Speaker 2: he calls a game. And it's like when we all
Speaker 2: used to play Mafia or Werewolf, and his is very
Speaker 2: different because you hook up these wires to parts of
Speaker 2: your head and it takes your consciousness and puts it
Speaker 2: in one of your friend's bodies. And the game is
Speaker 2: you have to figure out who's in whose body and
Speaker 2: it gets super existential. Because of that, I will say
Speaker 2: the movie is not excellent. It gets a little messy,
Speaker 2: as you can guess from a plot like that, but
Speaker 2: extremely well shot and they do a lot of really
Speaker 2: cool things to to keep you in mind of who
Speaker 2: you're watching. Are you trying to get in my body?
Speaker 3: Do you feel me inside you?
Speaker 2: Not at this moment? Oh next time? Maybe? Fun movie though,
Speaker 2: and I think most people would enjoy how it was
Speaker 2: shot more so than the plot itself. Watched Will and Harper?
Speaker 3: Have you seen?
Speaker 2: I feel like this is one that you might have
Speaker 2: cut up with this year? Did you watch willan Harper?
Speaker 2: It's a documentary about Will Ferrell and his a friendly
Speaker 2: that came out as trans during the pandemic and to
Speaker 2: get used to being in all of their old haunts
Speaker 2: and the things that they enjoy more than anything, they
Speaker 2: go on a cross country road trip. And it's really excellent,
Speaker 2: like very well made, very well balanced documentary. Considering how
Speaker 2: they shot it, I am kind of impressed that they
Speaker 2: shared a lot of the stuff that they shared. It
Speaker 2: was really well mate, just absolutely lovely movie. I think
Speaker 2: you'd like it.
Speaker 3: I did hear about that.
Speaker 2: The last one I'll share this week, Sweethearts, is out now.
Speaker 2: I think this one is on Max Max or Hulu
Speaker 2: it is the first. It's like the first raunchy rom
Speaker 2: com that I've seen in a while in years that
Speaker 2: is well done. Again, very happy that we're able to
Speaker 2: get stuff like this. Maide still Kieren and Schipka is
Speaker 2: the lead in this, and she steals the movie. She's
Speaker 2: excellent throughout, like she always is. It is just a
Speaker 2: story of two friends that were friends in high school.
Speaker 2: They both go out to college and they keep their
Speaker 2: long distance relationships that they were in and they realize
Speaker 2: they want to not be in those relationships and discover
Speaker 2: college for what it can be. And lots of stuff happens.
Speaker 2: There's a lot of any moments. It's really well made,
Speaker 2: and it's not afraid of an R rating, which is
Speaker 2: nice to see for movies like this in today's day
Speaker 2: and age. That's for sure.
Speaker 3: There was some good raunchy romantic comedies back in the
Speaker 3: early two thousands. I like that one, you know, the
Speaker 3: Sweetest Thing. Oh yeah, yeah, it was a good movie.
Speaker 3: You made me think of that where Sama Blair gets
Speaker 3: a guy's prince Albert Cottonerally.
Speaker 2: It's a good movie. Another one that's never had a
Speaker 2: blu ray.
Speaker 3: I don't think Christina Applegate and Cameron Diaz.
Speaker 4: Cameron Diaz, Yes, movie Palace of Blood.
Speaker 2: We will absolutely be covering Will's top holiday films.
Speaker 3: Is that at the end, he's got a stack? Ready? Do
Speaker 3: you want to cover those?
Speaker 2: Now?
Speaker 3: I think we should make people sit through the entirety
Speaker 3: of the announcements. It's just like waiting for Santa Okay.
Speaker 3: I just didn't want you to lose steam. I know
Speaker 3: it's I lost steam before the camera went on. I've
Speaker 3: been up since six am. It is now ten pm. Yep,
Speaker 3: so I don't get to live in central time.
Speaker 2: I'm one hour behind and I was up earlier than
Speaker 2: you exactly. Anyways, that is recent pickups and recent watches.
Speaker 2: Anything else you wanna talk about going on.
Speaker 3: We finished up some visual essays that will be coming
Speaker 3: out early twenty twenty five that I'm really proud of.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 3: I just read a new booklet essay written by can
Speaker 3: I say this? Written by Erica Schultz. That's fucking great
Speaker 3: and I'm really really really looking forward to the release
Speaker 3: as an entire package. But this essay choice, it's very funny,
Speaker 3: very funny, very informative, very sharp, not like sharp, like
Speaker 3: you can you can cut yourself on it. Yeah, those Californians,
Speaker 3: they think they're going to live forever just because just
Speaker 3: because time turned backwards.
Speaker 2: I want to point out Matthew says, this is the
Speaker 2: only channel where a guy wearing a Freddie sweater sitting
Speaker 2: in front of a herschel Gordon Lewis Box said, discussing
Speaker 2: a Prince Albert Felicio mishap in film. We'll also discuss Anura.
Speaker 3: And Black Adam.
Speaker 2: I was about to say, and Black Adam and a
Speaker 2: Plague Norb film.
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, it was so good. And you know
Speaker 3: what the best part is, it was only seventy five
Speaker 3: minutes long.
Speaker 2: That is incredible. Maybe two, I mean, either way, that's
Speaker 2: that's kind of perfect.
Speaker 3: I think Nightfall was seventy five minutes. I'm a big
Speaker 3: fan of short movies, said the guy who just watched
Speaker 3: eleven DC movies.
Speaker 2: And the longer version of one of them.
Speaker 3: Oh my god. Hey, I don't I don't want to
Speaker 3: pile on or anything, but listen, Zack Snyder is not
Speaker 3: a good storyteller.
Speaker 2: This is not is that I mean, that's not shocking.
Speaker 2: I don't think.
Speaker 3: I mean, one unresolved comment on it.
Speaker 2: On the essay that she wrote, she's still waiting for
Speaker 2: response on one thing.
Speaker 3: Oh pardon me, there is a lot.
Speaker 2: Coming up speaking of some of this, I guess he's
Speaker 2: going off screen speaking of someone's favorite production stuff. Some
Speaker 2: teases that we are happy to give out we are
Speaker 2: working on. I think the current open title amount is
Speaker 2: down at the moment to only like twenty eight titles
Speaker 2: that we're working on. Eager to see what people's response
Speaker 2: are to those. We have stuff coming from companies that
Speaker 2: we have not been on releases for in the past,
Speaker 2: so eager to be a part of those. And here's
Speaker 2: some announcement soon for hopefully for some of these will
Speaker 2: and I have been joking. The first commentary we ever
Speaker 2: did has still not been announced, and that was recorded. Gosh,
Speaker 2: we're going on like fourteen fifteen months ago.
Speaker 3: That was I know, we thought I was gonna get
Speaker 3: announced like a couple weeks ago, and then I was like, ah,
Speaker 3: but the thing that was announced was like kind of amazing.
Speaker 3: But then yeah, so it is a real mixed bag,
Speaker 3: it is.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna have to check in on that very very well.
Speaker 3: When you all do finally find out the title that's
Speaker 3: started our partnership, you'll be like, oh yeah, it's so true.
Speaker 3: That is like the biggest hit that you could have
Speaker 3: given right now too.
Speaker 2: Oh man, Craig just realized that he needs to pick
Speaker 2: a winner for the last newsletter off reason to go
Speaker 2: do that. That's exciting. Somebody's about to win fifty bucks.
Speaker 2: I believe it's probably time to get into the announcement.
Speaker 2: Is anything else for someone's favorite that you want to
Speaker 2: hype up or shout out or.
Speaker 3: Big things coming in twenty twenty five.
Speaker 2: We are branching out. I can start to reveal some
Speaker 2: of that, some of the ways that we're helping some

Speaker 2: got a new visual essay by someone you're familiar with.
Speaker 2: Scout Tafoya says, are we not both the Living Dead?
Speaker 2: A new visual essay by Miranda Corcoran. I believe everything
Speaker 2: else on here was archival.

Speaker 2: you feel about Texas Chains, I'm asker two.
Speaker 3: That's my favorite about all of the Hooper Yep, Damn,
Speaker 3: I don't think I knew that. I'm pretty clear about it.
Speaker 4: Damn.
Speaker 3: That was the first one I really got into, and
Speaker 3: the sense of humor is very specifically aligned with my own.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that that checks out, definitely makes sense, all right.
Speaker 2: Next up another Toby Hooper, Life Force, getting a four
Speaker 2: K from Arrow in the UK on February seventeenth. Now
Speaker 2: the biggest deal here, yeah, is a disc. One is
Speaker 2: the international cut on four K, which didn't not get

Speaker 2: Cannon and the making of Life Force here, featuring a
Speaker 2: whole bunch of interviews. This two is the theatrical cut
Speaker 2: in four K, A lot of stuff that we've had before,
Speaker 2: but released in the best packaging for this yet. And
Speaker 2: this again international cut had not been on four K.
Speaker 2: How do you feel about the difference on the two cuts.
Speaker 3: God, put me on the spot. I'm excited to have
Speaker 3: him both on four K. Yes, I'm trying to remember
Speaker 3: all the differences, talking about several years since I've seen.
Speaker 2: Him, the difference is even more nudity.
Speaker 3: Oh, I prefer that one. No, No, pretty excited about
Speaker 3: this even Yeah, this is a Erica is on a
Speaker 3: roll tonight a Matilda may blow up doll as a

Speaker 2: pick this one up.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Then last stop in you MC County from technically from

Speaker 2: This is by the one and only friend Galoopi, who's

Speaker 2: on Blu Ray in the UK. This is now the
Speaker 2: third release of this movie. We had the Well Go
Speaker 2: in the USA, we had the Umbrella in Australia and
Speaker 2: now this is the beautiful looking Arrow release. Umbrella and
Speaker 2: Arrow are pretty neck and neck for better release of
Speaker 2: this film. We've got multiple audio commentaries on this, literally,
Speaker 2: I think there are yeah, three different audio commentaries on this.
Speaker 2: New interview with Fran, New visual essay by Matt Donado,
Speaker 2: making a featurette three screenplay to film comparisons, illustrated collector's

Speaker 2: It's good, good, good, good good.
Speaker 3: I watched the first thing when we got back from
Speaker 3: Los Angeles.
Speaker 2: When Jeremy and I could not stop talking about it.
Speaker 2: This one coming on February tenth in the UK, February
Speaker 2: eleventh in North America. Blu Ray from Arrow is A
Speaker 2: Certain Killer and a Killer's Key double feature. These are
Speaker 2: from nineteen sixty seven. I've heard that these are great.
Speaker 2: I've not been able to see either one of these.
Speaker 2: We've got Tony Rayans doing an audio commentary on both films,
Speaker 2: a new thirty minute introduction to the films by Mark Roberts,
Speaker 2: reversible sleeve, and then an illustrated collector's booklet with new
Speaker 2: writing by Jasper Sharp and Earl Jackson.
Speaker 3: Nice.
Speaker 2: This is gonna be a really great release.
Speaker 3: Yeah, oh yeah. We got so many Hong Kong movies
Speaker 3: this week, so many to talk about.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we have not, Michael, We'll be mentioning that momentarily
Speaker 2: for sure. The Umbrella one didn't have any new features.
Speaker 2: What do you mean new features. It's the first releases
Speaker 2: of the film. They're all new features, Chris. Let's go
Speaker 2: to our next announcement, the final one from Arrow February
Speaker 2: twenty fourth in the UK, February twenty fifth in North America,
Speaker 2: a four K release of William Friedkin's Cruising starring Al Pacino. Amazing,
Speaker 2: amazing movie. This has one hundred and twenty page perfect
Speaker 2: bound collector's book with articles from The Village Voice and
Speaker 2: The New York Times, essays from the film's extras cast,
Speaker 2: and introduction from Friedkin himself, and then an archival interview
Speaker 2: with Al Pacino. We've got two archival commentaries and a
Speaker 2: new commentary featuring original musicians involved with the soundtrack, a
Speaker 2: new interview with Karen Allen. We got a new interview
Speaker 2: with the actor film consultant, former police detective Randy Jurgensen,
Speaker 2: then a bunch of archival interviews, a new visual essays
Speaker 2: surrounding the Hanky Codes featuring the actor and writer David McGillivray,
Speaker 2: and then a short film by Jim Hubbard. There's a
Speaker 2: lot on here that I couldn't even list because there
Speaker 2: were so many features. This is pretty damn great. You
Speaker 2: were just getting warmed up literally, yeah, yeah, And now
Speaker 2: I might just step in.
Speaker 3: Pacino says that there's nothing after death, So I think
Speaker 3: we should all cruise as much which as possible while
Speaker 3: we can cruise while ye may.
Speaker 2: Damn good movie if you've never seen it, And this
Speaker 2: will absolutely look great in four K.
Speaker 3: So. I grew up in southwestern Virginia, right near the
Speaker 3: West Virginia state line, very rural area with attitudes that
Speaker 3: one would stereotypically associate with such an area, And in
Speaker 3: the early days of the Internet in the late nineteen nineties,
Speaker 3: I stumbled upon a website I won't say how that
Speaker 3: gave a map of all of the cruisy areas of Bluefield,
Speaker 3: West Virginia, which included one bathroom, not all of the bathrooms,
Speaker 3: but one bathroom in the local super Walmart. And to
Speaker 3: this day I regret not making a successful connection and
Speaker 3: said bathroom, but I did. I did go to it
Speaker 3: to see what sights I might see it or sounds.
Speaker 2: I don't even know how to respond to that, but
Speaker 2: just thank you.
Speaker 3: Well, I just I thought that was I mean, you know,
Speaker 3: that's a survival tactic. You know, you're in an area
Speaker 3: that forces certain people in isolation, and it's a really
Speaker 3: sad and horrible thing because, as I mentioned before, al
Speaker 3: Pacino confirmed there's no life after death. And to spend
Speaker 3: your life force in isolation by what a bunch of
Speaker 3: fucking assholes being hateful. So to have that kind of
Speaker 3: that kind of map to connection, yes, a glorious thing.
Speaker 3: It was. You know, I was just I wouldn't say curious, stan,
Speaker 3: I would say well informed as a matter of fact.
Speaker 3: So anyway, kudos to the map baker. That's what I'm
Speaker 3: trying to say. There's a lot of work in ninety eight, you.
Speaker 2: Know, yes, yes, yes, indeed, the keep let's talk about
Speaker 2: some Vinegar Syndrome titles. So last Thursday during the show,
Speaker 2: we had the reveal of the Vinegar Syndrome stuff, and
Speaker 2: the big thing I always add these afterwards, because there's
Speaker 2: people obviously that are not watching live, that didn't get
Speaker 2: to see them, that will see these on social media.
Speaker 2: But also I get Will's take the following Thursday because
Speaker 2: you don't get be part of the show.
Speaker 3: I thought we weren't going to have to talk about them.
Speaker 2: We're gonna have to talk about them.
Speaker 3: You already talked about him, you talking about with Jeremy
Speaker 3: and Celeste.
Speaker 2: But we did not get to talk about it with you.
Speaker 2: Not to mention, we haven't covered the fact that this
Speaker 2: sold more than fifteen thousand copies in thirty nine hours.
Speaker 2: That's insanity.
Speaker 3: The first season A Family Guy sold four and a
Speaker 3: half million copies.
Speaker 2: It did, and it's a different time.
Speaker 3: I know it's a sad thing, isn't that.
Speaker 2: It really is? But I will say it is a
Speaker 2: huge deal that a boutique company could sell fifteen thousand
Speaker 2: copies of any title in twenty twenty four in thirty
Speaker 2: nine hours. Yeah, that's that's almost Oppenheimer numbers from just
Speaker 2: last year. Oppenheimer in the first week sold fifty thousand copies.
Speaker 3: To a bunch of disappointed people. I'm sure I'm excited
Speaker 3: about I want to I'm really excited to see what
Speaker 3: this movie is supposed to look like. Right, I've only
Speaker 3: ever seen it on a pretty let's see I saw
Speaker 3: it them vhs and oh oh. Criterion had it streaming
Speaker 3: last year or maybe the year before last, but it
Speaker 3: still wasn't.
Speaker 2: Like it was just the DVD.
Speaker 3: Right yet, so pretty stoked about this. I mean, it
Speaker 3: hasn't changed my life, you know. I know some people
Speaker 3: say it's the greatest film like in history. I'm prepared
Speaker 3: to accept that if upon third viewing, if that's the case.
Speaker 3: You know, Michael Man's pretty good. I don't have any
Speaker 3: bad things to say. This release looks amazing. So I
Speaker 3: feel like I'm being disappointing. You're like, we can't wait.
Speaker 3: We got to hear what Will is. I don't have
Speaker 3: anything to say about it. It's great, it's coming out.
Speaker 2: That is enough. People are here because they love you, Will.
Speaker 3: That is not true. They're here because they have a
Speaker 3: habitual dependence on you.
Speaker 2: And I mean that that's a part of it, sure, but.
Speaker 3: I think that's good. That's important. It's a community. Look
Speaker 3: looking from this a good bar and the keep back
Speaker 3: to back, I mean, talk about something.
Speaker 2: And Cannibal don't forget that one.
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, but I'm not gonna put Cannibal the Musical
Speaker 3: in the same category as it.
Speaker 2: Odd honestly, it was about that category for people that
Speaker 2: were after those that were never never on like proper
Speaker 2: HD physical media, and now to do all three of
Speaker 2: those in one slate is kind of amazing.
Speaker 3: Well technically Cannibal's de Gaussier.
Speaker 2: Yes, but still released by Vindegar Syndrome.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I ordered it. I'm pretty stoked.
Speaker 2: Uh, you read books. Everybody's been talking about The Keep.
Speaker 2: Have you ever read the book that The Keep is
Speaker 2: based on? Nope, purd It's pretty great.
Speaker 3: All right here, right along, I'll put it on the list.
Speaker 2: The other secret title that we revealed is Sliver. This
Speaker 2: is the nineteen ninety three erotic thriller. Is this one
Speaker 2: that you have seen before?
Speaker 3: Sir? I never saw this, And I thought that UB
Speaker 3: forty song was so shitty and like an entire year
Speaker 3: of the of nineteen ninety whatever three? When did this
Speaker 3: come out? Yeah, ninety three, couldn't escape that damn song.
Speaker 3: But I also recently listened to Katrina Lungworth's series on
Speaker 3: the erotic nineties. Yeah, you must remember remember this I
Speaker 3: think I talked about that last time, and so the
Speaker 3: episode on Sharon Stone Basic Instinct Sliver definitely got me
Speaker 3: intrigued to see it easily. Top five Baldwin brother, So.
Speaker 2: Are you gonna watch Rust? The one that Alec Baldwin
Speaker 2: killed somebody?
Speaker 3: On? Wow?
Speaker 2: I mean just calling it like it, like it happened.
Speaker 3: I think that meets the legal a standard for slander. No,
Speaker 3: not at all. He was found not responsible.
Speaker 2: I never said he was responsible, but it's unknown fact
Speaker 2: that his action did it got him.
Speaker 3: You must feel like, I'm not gonna pileup that.
Speaker 2: I'm just asking if you're gonna watch the movie.
Speaker 3: He has to live with that the rest of us.
Speaker 2: He does, and it's very sad.
Speaker 3: It was horrible. I'm not making a joke about that.
Speaker 2: I'm not asking you to make a joke. I wasn't
Speaker 2: making a.
Speaker 3: Joke well to make the tragedy even worse. The movie
Speaker 3: didn't look that good.
Speaker 2: No, that's the hard.
Speaker 3: Like it's like go ahead, no no.
Speaker 2: Thomas says the keep situation is crazy, and then for
Speaker 2: vinegar syndrome to suddenly have stock again after the imprint
Speaker 2: announcement is wild and without question and obvious money grab.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, but I don't agree with that. I mean,
Speaker 2: they they paid to get stuff printed, they just didn't
Speaker 2: know how many to have on hand, and they put
Speaker 2: in a second order. That's not I mean, first off,
Speaker 2: they're a company. They're supposed to sell stuff. So yeah,
Speaker 2: it's not really a money grab. They it's selling. Why
Speaker 2: would they not allow more copies to be sold. It
Speaker 2: wasn't out a print, it's just restocking. They did the
Speaker 2: same for another title Went that ran out during the
Speaker 2: sale as well.
Speaker 3: It's all the money grab, my friend, Like the late
Speaker 3: Frederick Jamison said, it's easier to imagine the end of
Speaker 3: the world than to imagine the end of capitalism.
Speaker 2: This is true. This is true, all right. So that
Speaker 2: was sliver. Next one is Women on the Run, which
Speaker 2: is one that Vinegar Syndrome themselves accidentally leaked by posting
Speaker 2: a picture of the palette arriving at the warehouse before
Speaker 2: this sale.
Speaker 3: That's funny phrasing. They were leaked Women on the Run.
Speaker 2: They did leak Women on the Run, that's for sure.
Speaker 3: You know, speaking of capitalism, I'll tell you what. They've
Speaker 3: even managed to commodify freaking unibomber lifestyle. This the cabin
Speaker 3: porn they do now, which is not the cabin porn
Speaker 3: you and I are used to. It's like it's like
Speaker 3: they're fetishizing living out in the woods and and and
Speaker 3: being a carpenter and ship. But the only people who
Speaker 3: the only people we can do that are the people
Speaker 3: who have the memes too, you know, purchase raw materials
Speaker 3: and yeah, it's this. It's like it's it's like, uh,
Speaker 3: this this bougie version of primitive lifestyle. It's just it's, uh,
Speaker 3: it's horrible. But the thing about women will run which
Speaker 3: I watched the trailer to this and it looks fantastic
Speaker 3: and what a set of uh. Special features essay by
Speaker 3: Erica Schultz. Video essay by Sam Degan. Look at all
Speaker 3: the commentaries and the interviews, the movie itself looks fantastic.
Speaker 3: I can't wait to watch this. I'm just gonna spend
Speaker 3: money on it, and I'm gonna watch it in my
Speaker 3: rental that has electricity and internet in a flat screen TV.
Speaker 3: And I'm not gonna pretend like I live out in
Speaker 3: the woods like Henry David Throw who, by the way,
Speaker 3: took his laundry every month to his mom and Ralph
Speaker 3: Walder Emerson paid for the cabin. So this fucking bullshit
Speaker 3: talk about cash grabs, the cabin porn. That's the real
Speaker 3: villain here, all right.
Speaker 2: So this is Women on the Run, the Cat three
Speaker 2: film from nineteen ninety three. This is directed by David
Speaker 2: Lyon Coreyjon. This is gonna include a commentary with Travis Woods.
Speaker 2: Is gonna be great, of course, interview with David Lai,
Speaker 2: conversation with the producer Shantan, the production manager Michael Parker,
Speaker 2: as will said, a visual essay by Sam Degan, a
Speaker 2: sixteen page booklet with an essay by the one and
Speaker 2: only Erica Schultz, and cannot wait to get this in.
Speaker 3: You know. The only thing and the only thing about
Speaker 3: this movie that's a lie is producer co creator David Lai.
Speaker 3: This is an authentic film. That's what I'm trying to say. Uh,
Speaker 3: That's what I'm trying to say. Is that is that
Speaker 3: what you're trying to say down with rustic lifestyle posers?
Speaker 3: Roddy SAIDs finally someone puts the row. Yeah, oh man,
Speaker 3: all right, because it's easy to take a stand when
Speaker 3: you're being bankrolled, you know.
Speaker 2: Okay, So that is the vssay that came out during
Speaker 2: the sale. The VSA well is Neither the Sea nor
Speaker 2: the Sand from nineteen seventy two Wills this one you
Speaker 2: had even heard of before?
Speaker 3: This sounds like a Henry David throw journal. So it's
Speaker 3: the oh okay, So it's like a British monkey paw
Speaker 3: in a way in a way near the ocean.
Speaker 2: This one has a commentary with Jonathan Rigby, Kevin Lyons
Speaker 2: on it, interview the producer Peter Fetterman, interview with the
Speaker 2: actress Susan Hampshire. We've got a couple other interviews on
Speaker 2: here as well. This one sounded really great. I had
Speaker 2: never heard of it before the interview. I did, but
Speaker 2: before the sale and eager to see this one for sure.
Speaker 2: Yet just like Dallas said, love the cover on the
Speaker 2: slip cover.
Speaker 3: And go on, Jonathan Rigby picks up all the rights
Speaker 3: in the church or whatever.

Speaker 3: No, to quote a nearly great states Wollman, we're not
Speaker 3: going back.
Speaker 2: Well, if that's not tempting, I had what about Aide
Speaker 2: to Black?
Speaker 3: No, I had to deal with VHS copies of both
Speaker 3: of those films for decades. I shall not return, are
Speaker 3: you sure? Yes? No, shade to anybody who wishes to
Speaker 3: view such films on degraded format, but I shall not. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I'm not a VHS person either. Anyways, let's keep going.
Speaker 2: Next is the Passions of Carol. This is over on
Speaker 2: the MILIU scene site as part of the Quality X line.
Speaker 2: This is from nineteen seventy five and the main character
Speaker 2: in this is Carol Scrooge. Yeah, this is a version
Speaker 2: of a Christmas Carol starring Jamie Gillis newly scanner restored
Speaker 2: in four with an audio commentary with the director Sean
Speaker 2: Costello moderated by the one and only Joe Rubin. There
Speaker 2: is also a trailer, but that is it that is
Speaker 2: on this disc. I'm very very curious about this one.
Speaker 3: This features the the Ghost of Christmas making a pass,
Speaker 3: the Ghost of Christmas presenting, and the Ghost of Christmas.
Speaker 2: Coucher stretched on the last one. But I'm into its yep.
Speaker 2: One thing that I want to point out here and
Speaker 2: I don't I don't want to start anything, but I
Speaker 2: really don't like the slipcover art on this and normally
Speaker 2: I'm not wanting to make a big deal out of it,
Speaker 2: but this to me is screaming AI.
Speaker 3: Oh. I was just thinking it wasn't all that erotic,
Speaker 3: but yeah, no it's not.
Speaker 2: But I mean, especially this face here in the middle
Speaker 2: that looks like something generated by computer system and they
Speaker 2: just colored over M and even the front like it's
Speaker 2: not rock title sorry, this like I could easily see
Speaker 2: that being something that was generated by AI. Why are
Speaker 2: we doing this?
Speaker 3: They said? AI. Please generate the form of the ideal human.
Speaker 2: Male extra on the chops.
Speaker 3: Please. They're like, oh, that must be Phasic with hair.
Speaker 3: Wait wait, Phasic is Andre the Giant, isn't it? Yes? Shit, No,
Speaker 3: the never cheat death for the Sicilian or never what
Speaker 3: never go up against the Sicilian when death is on
Speaker 3: the line.
Speaker 2: That guy, that's what he was like, again, I don't
Speaker 2: necessarily want to claim this is AI because I don't know.
Speaker 3: That's just me.
Speaker 2: I completely am. However, there it feels like there's some
Speaker 2: fuckery here.
Speaker 3: I mean, you know, it would be funny as if
Speaker 3: the artist who handrew that is watching right now and
Speaker 3: just like crying like they think my heart is AI.
Speaker 2: Anyways, that's the passions of Carol.
Speaker 3: Was like he was about to show his mom, like,
Speaker 3: guess what I finally made it. I'm doing slipcovers for
Speaker 3: classic porno and and mom is like that just looks
Speaker 3: like a computer, son, you're a failure, or at school
Speaker 3: with joke, you're a joke.
Speaker 2: The next Quality X title is Alexander from nineteen eighty three.
Speaker 2: Here is this one clearly not AI, but also just
Speaker 2: steals from the film. Robert Freeman is the director of
Speaker 2: this one. We've got a new video interview with the screenwriter,
Speaker 2: Don Walters of Variety Films and Archival Image Gallery, and
Speaker 2: that's Mili you see for this month.
Speaker 3: There was a long time ago Synapse put out a
Speaker 3: forty Seconds Street Forever and it was like a collection
Speaker 3: of adult film trailers and this was one of them
Speaker 3: that I remember seeing, and the trailer for it was Choice.
Speaker 3: I can't quote anything from it, but I remember a
Speaker 3: bunch from the trailer. I'm interested in actually seeing this movie. Actually,
Speaker 3: I'm interested in a pornographic Christmas Carol too, regardless of
Speaker 3: the quality of the sitcom.
Speaker 2: Roddy Roddy's this question is Alexander single?
Speaker 3: She's not single, but she is available Alexandra and she.
Speaker 2: Is Well, that was gonna be free. Never mind, let's
Speaker 2: get that. April Cauldron is releasing four films from Lamberto
Speaker 2: Bava in a box set called Brevido Jiallo. This is
Speaker 2: going to include a four film horror giallo series directed
Speaker 2: by Lambert Obava. Each film in this set is a standalone,
Speaker 2: fully featured production that was completed between eighty seven and
Speaker 2: eighty nine. The film stories are not connected, but we're
Speaker 2: collected together for Italian television near the end of the eighties.
Speaker 2: What you're getting here is four of these late eighties
Speaker 2: Italian horror films, loaded with practical effects and killer music,
Speaker 2: all directed by Bava, and they are releasing all four
Speaker 2: of them together. We've got loaded brand new features, many
Speaker 2: of them by Eugenio Ercolani, including four with Lambert Tobava himself,
Speaker 2: an exclusive new interview with the composer Simon Boswell, Alhause
Speaker 2: and Richard Rigid. Outer box with full wow four folded
Speaker 2: posters featuring new artwork by Eric Adrian Lee.
Speaker 3: Just in case you wanted to cover an entire room
Speaker 3: with Lamberto Bova posters. Now you have the uh from
Speaker 3: only two years of his career, neither of which were
Speaker 3: neither of which are demons. That's great, true, true. Speaking
Speaker 3: of demons, I highly recommend because the ogre is part
Speaker 3: of this, I highly recommend going to YouTube and looking
Speaker 3: for Joe Bob Briggs' explanation of the Demons series quote unquote,
Speaker 3: Demons series is quite a.
Speaker 2: Hoot and it's literally like barely over five minutes, completely
Speaker 2: worth your time.
Speaker 3: Yes, Unlike most Joe Bob randts, it's fairly concise.
Speaker 2: It's less of a rant and more of an educational system.
Speaker 2: It's uh, Brendan says, Jamie Gillis must have been like
Speaker 2: the Eric Roberts of Adult Comes Back. Then, Yes, absolutely,
Speaker 2: uh Brendan says, this is so sick. Cauldron's like Meet Severn.
Speaker 2: That is a great explanation. Actually, let's see, Dinner with
Speaker 2: a Vampire is pretty great, so is the Ogre. I
Speaker 2: definitely just read that backwards and made it work. Thanks Brian.
Speaker 2: So the extras on these. Disc one is Graveyard Disturbance.
Speaker 2: This one is gonna have a four K restoration from
Speaker 2: the negative. It will have an interview with a bunch
Speaker 2: of people from this film, an audio commentary by Eugenie
Speaker 2: Orkilani and Nanikobretti, folded poster reverse blu ray rap. And
Speaker 2: then this two is Until Death. That one is gonna
Speaker 2: have a four K scan as well. Another set with
Speaker 2: a bunch of interviews, another audio commentary, this one by
Speaker 2: Erkolani and Troy Howarth. Disc three is The Ogre. This
Speaker 2: one will have a couple of interviews on this and
Speaker 2: then audio commentary by Rachel Nisbett. Disc four is Dinner
Speaker 2: with the Vampire. This one we got a bunch of
Speaker 2: interviews audio commentary with Eric Laani, Nathaniel Thompson and Troy Howorth.
Speaker 2: And you can pre order that now but again not
Speaker 2: shipping until April. They've also got a bonus disc. Disc
Speaker 2: five will be a CD the original soundtrack compilation by
Speaker 2: Simon Boswell. In the limited edition only, it will be
Speaker 2: limited to twenty five hundred copies.
Speaker 3: Man, I really want this, but I also had a
Speaker 3: crushing realization. Uh oh, Like if tomorrow I started watching
Speaker 3: two movies a day out of my collection and watched
Speaker 3: two movies every day without repeats, it would take me
Speaker 3: fourteen years to watch all my movies.
Speaker 2: That is much better than I expected. That's to a day, right,
Speaker 2: but that's still much better than I expected, like forty years.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I mean I've got Shoa yep. So I'm
Speaker 3: not gonna be able to do two every day, totally
Speaker 3: get it. Do I have room for these four? That's
Speaker 3: another extra two days? Well, so we've got people saying
Speaker 3: that none of these are Jalla, but they fail to
Speaker 3: recognize that Bravedo is Italian for sorta.
Speaker 2: That was the best line of the night so far,
Speaker 2: Jase Delito beat oh man, this sort of accent was perfect.
Speaker 2: We're gonna comment Gaming TV says erowbox sets are typically
Speaker 2: sixty to seventy Cauldron box sets ninety to one hundred. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: Cauldron box sets are more expensive. I will point out
Speaker 2: Aerow is a much larger company owned by a corporation,
Speaker 2: and their costs are going to be much lower for
Speaker 2: a lot of this, So it does make sense small
Speaker 2: business is worth supporting.
Speaker 3: Sometimes the government don't do.
Speaker 2: It, and Dallas says some people are mad they don't
Speaker 2: have the Italian audio tracks on their DVDs. I hate
Speaker 2: to say it, but I mean quite often things just
Speaker 2: are not available, either for restoration, due to sound elements,
Speaker 2: or just the rights. You can't get the rights to everything.
Speaker 2: It's not like that.
Speaker 3: Some people just won't allow themselves to be happy.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I wasn't gonna go there, but yeah, that's absolutely
Speaker 2: a big part of that.
Speaker 3: I mean, there's always something missing.
Speaker 2: It's true, absolutely true. Ronnie says, according to Letterbox, I've
Speaker 2: watched ninety one percent of my collection excellent.
Speaker 3: Nice.
Speaker 2: Matthew says, according to Letterbox, I'm a shut ind loser.
Speaker 3: Once I log all these DC movies, it'll say the
Speaker 3: same for me. Now I'm gonna start watching all the
Speaker 3: fucking DC cartoons on Max.
Speaker 2: Next month will be I watched the DC League of
Speaker 2: Super Pets. Let's discuss the.
Speaker 3: Entirety of Teen Titans live action show, Aaron says, willdo's
Speaker 3: breveto bit of oh man? Uh hey?
Speaker 2: During the sale. This last week, I put up an
Speaker 2: interview with Joe Rubin and Oscar from Vinegar Syndrome. Primarily
Speaker 2: was for Joe, but Oscar was there for moral support
Speaker 2: for Joe. I hope people check it out. It was
Speaker 2: he doesn't do many interviews, No, he he was hard
Speaker 2: to get on the show. It took a lot of handholding,
Speaker 2: and I'm glad that we could get it done.
Speaker 3: Looks like he's hard to get into the sun, uh probably,
Speaker 3: which I can say the same for myself.
Speaker 2: Anyways, check out the interview. Hope you enjoy it.
Speaker 3: Not too many archivists with tans. And you want to
Speaker 3: know a funny Tanner beds story. Sure, So when I
Speaker 3: lived in Kentucky there was this video store I would
Speaker 3: frank frequent and for some reason, in the early two thousands,
Speaker 3: video stores almost always had Tanner beds as well. Like
Speaker 3: side Hustle whatever, This particular video store I thought was
Speaker 3: pretty brazen because it put its special porno room right
Speaker 3: next to the checkout, So if you were going to
Speaker 3: go browse the big boxes for adult titles, you had
Speaker 3: to do so like in full view of the checkout clerk.
Speaker 3: And it wasn't like a beaded doorway. You had to
Speaker 3: open a door which was loud, definitely in need of lubricant.
Speaker 3: Open the door, go in, close it behind you, then
Speaker 3: open it back up, bring out your little tags to
Speaker 3: indicate which sinful titles you had selected based on the
Speaker 3: dirty pictures on the covers, and then the clerk would
Speaker 3: would get them for you while families milled about. And
Speaker 3: where I lived was one of the poorest counties in
Speaker 3: the nation, and I'm up renting a movie. In fact,
Speaker 3: I think I was actually no. I had a complaint
Speaker 3: because I had rented Fanny and Alexander and it had
Speaker 3: only given me cassette two. It was just the Alexander
Speaker 3: were missing, like the whole first two hours, and I
Speaker 3: was like, do you have the rest of them? They're like,
Speaker 3: we only have what we have, and I was like, well,
Speaker 3: I guess it's kind of amazing you have half a
Speaker 3: Fanny and Alexander. But anyway, speaking of Fanny, I'm up
Speaker 3: there at the clerk, and these two guys walk up
Speaker 3: with their hats with like duck hunting slogans and Confederate flags,
Speaker 3: and their their back of their blue jeans worn in
Speaker 3: a circular shape where they're where their snuffcans were kept.
Speaker 3: And they both had lotion bottles in their hands, and
Speaker 3: they were standing right next to the door to the
Speaker 3: pornography room pornography room, and I thought to myself, my god,
Speaker 3: these guys are so like cashboard that they're just coming
Speaker 3: to the corner room to whack it to the pictures.
Speaker 3: And I'm like this, this is crazy, like where do
Speaker 3: I live? But actually it turned out they were there
Speaker 3: for an even stranger reason, so to lay in the
Speaker 3: tanning beds. I guess they just got back from work
Speaker 3: in the mines or whatever, and they wanted to get
Speaker 3: a tan and the bottles of lotion were for them
Speaker 3: to rub upon their Yeah, we got it, nude torsos.
Speaker 3: Perhaps it was a Cruisy video store. I don't know,
Speaker 3: I didn't have a map for that region, but any
Speaker 3: rate and Dead's Room Family Video store, ah, one of
Speaker 3: my favorite Christmas movies.
Speaker 2: What a transition that was Silent Night, Deadly Night. We
Speaker 2: had word this week that Silent Night, Deadly Night on
Speaker 2: four K from Shout Factory looks like it might be
Speaker 2: region locked to Region A. I had somebody reach out
Speaker 2: and I asked them a couple of questions to make
Speaker 2: sure that this was accurate. But as it turns out,
Speaker 2: Screen Factory has done it again and accidentally or mischievous,
Speaker 2: we don't know. They have locked one of their four ks.
Speaker 2: This one is stuck in Region A.
Speaker 3: This lump of coles for you France.
Speaker 2: So everybody that was purchasing that that was overseas, you
Speaker 2: may want to stay away, all right? That was that
Speaker 2: the two jakes from nineteen ninety.
Speaker 3: This is the.
Speaker 2: Sort of sequel to change. Yes, So I've got a
Speaker 2: four K.
Speaker 3: All region free thing player, and I pressed the button
Speaker 3: to make it change to different regions, and half the
Speaker 3: time it works, and half the time it doesn't work.
Speaker 3: So that works for locked four k's as well, right
Speaker 3: it should?
Speaker 2: Yes, Why is it only working half the time? Or
Speaker 2: is that exaggeration for comedy?
Speaker 3: Nope, that's not funny, No, it's not I follow the
Speaker 3: instructions that's I press the button. Sometimes it works, sometimes don't.
Speaker 3: That's I think that's why the company is called Eureka,
Speaker 3: because when I get my player to work, I'm like Eureka,
Speaker 3: two Jakes. Wasn't this the bonus feature on something Chinatown?
Speaker 2: This is the sequel to Chinatown? Uh?
Speaker 3: I got that Chinatown release?
Speaker 2: H Brenda is asking do these companies have to pay
Speaker 2: a fine when they when they lack a four K
Speaker 2: that isn't supposed to be Uh? They do not because
Speaker 2: the BDA, which is the authority for the blu Ray copyright,
Speaker 2: they're supposed to be the ones that are enforcing these
Speaker 2: and holding these companies accountable, and they just simply choose
Speaker 2: not to. They they could, if it happens enough times,
Speaker 2: they could pull the ability for one of these companies
Speaker 2: to use the four K logo and the four K
Speaker 2: format itself, and not just simply not give them a license.
Speaker 3: You had another example of government bureautic bureaucratic incompetence that
Speaker 3: thankfully we'll be cleaning up here forthwith.
Speaker 2: Everything about that sentence was fully wrong, just just for
Speaker 2: everybody watching. Oh is it not a It's not a
Speaker 2: government agency?
Speaker 3: Yet more corporate malfeasan.
Speaker 2: It's a bad week to talk about corporate mouthfies. Why
Speaker 2: uh I assume that you know about what happened in
Speaker 2: New York.
Speaker 3: Giuliani won't give up his stuff.
Speaker 2: No, the CEO of United Healthcare.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, it was like the plot of Saw six,
Speaker 3: my favorite of the series.
Speaker 2: It's a very good, good film.
Speaker 3: That's the funny one. That was a tough one because,
Speaker 3: like you know, you hate when someone.
Speaker 2: Is murdered, right, well you should, yeah, But at the.
Speaker 3: Same time, well you know, I also hate it when
Speaker 3: people die of preventable illnesses or treatable illnesses. Yea, because
Speaker 3: because insurance won't cover.
Speaker 2: So Michael Smith is asking how to labels get away
Speaker 2: with not locking the releases? Isn't it in the contract?
Speaker 2: Two things. One on Blu Ray, it's not always in
Speaker 2: the contract. Sometimes it is, sometimes it's not. It's up
Speaker 2: to the rights holder. But on four K on UHD,
Speaker 2: there is not supposed to be any locked discs. It
Speaker 2: is not written into the format. There is no region ABC.
Speaker 2: The reason it happens accidentally, from what I've been told
Speaker 2: through authoring, they simply just forget to change the settings
Speaker 2: from a regular Blu Ray because a four KUHD is
Speaker 2: so similar to the Blu Ray. It's literally as easy
Speaker 2: as like checking a box and unchecking a box, and
Speaker 2: they just forget to uncheck the box like they're supposed to.
Speaker 3: Wow, that's horrifying to me. I mean, if that happens
Speaker 3: for our four k's, what do you think happens to Like,
Speaker 3: I don't know that vaccine experiments. It's true.
Speaker 2: Uh, and yeah, Michael with Blu rays, I mean it's
Speaker 2: not in every contract. In some contracts it is, but
Speaker 2: there's I mean there's a lot of rights holders that
Speaker 2: simply don't care. Or also, you could have it in
Speaker 2: the contract that you own World ride rights and it
Speaker 2: can be region free completely.
Speaker 3: So if you get a copy of this but you
Speaker 3: already have the limited edition of Chinatown, you'll have.
Speaker 2: Four jakes, which is.
Speaker 3: Never mind at least three too many. That's so many jakes.
Speaker 2: You snorted it your own joke.
Speaker 3: I love this. Uh, let's do this.
Speaker 2: I tried to highlight some of the smaller sales. I
Speaker 2: believe all of these are over at this point. Just
Speaker 2: keep an eye out on some of these labels that
Speaker 2: don't get enough attention during during months that everybody else
Speaker 2: is having a sale. Arbelows and listen mcgil Flicker, Alley, Grasshopper,
Speaker 2: make Flix. Everybody had Black Friday sales going on.
Speaker 3: Make Flix's got some good stuff. Dinosaur Island, Baby. I think.
Speaker 2: That sounds right.
Speaker 3: Uh oh, yeah, you know. I was just so Kevin
Speaker 3: Bacon's and two Whitewater films, and I think some people
Speaker 3: are river wild people and other people are whitewater summer people.
Speaker 3: I'm a whitewater summer person, so sell me on this one.
Speaker 2: Ryan Mayle Streep and Kevin Bacon whitewater rafting together.
Speaker 3: Kevin Bacon psychotically abusing to little boys, also whitewater rafting,
Speaker 3: and that's why I Whitewater Summer.
Speaker 2: I'll probably watch both. I'm all over putting out The
Speaker 2: River Wild on four K soon. I'm really glad I
Speaker 2: did not buy the studio Blu ray, which I almost did. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I'm glad I will get this soon on four K.
Speaker 3: Whitewater Summer. One of the kids is Sean Aston. That
Speaker 3: checks out. I'll tell you, uh. Whitewater Summer, along with
Speaker 3: a never released on Blu Ray Don Coscarelli film Survival
Speaker 3: Quest starring a young Catherine Keener. Prior to corrective dental surgery.
Speaker 3: One of the largest front tooth gaps in the history
Speaker 3: of biology dentistry. Jesus, but a great double feature. Whitewater
Speaker 3: Summer Survival Quest. You've never seen survival Quests and you
Speaker 3: like Phantasm and the Beast Master, you need to see
Speaker 3: Survival Quest. It's a bunch of people backpack in the
Speaker 3: woods getting trapped. I'm gonna survive.
Speaker 2: I'm chocked. Survival Quest never got a blu ray I
Speaker 2: thought it did. That's on my list, all right, Carrion
Speaker 2: right along. Then hey the keep if you haven't heard
Speaker 2: enough about it this Earlier in the show, Imprint announced
Speaker 2: that they are also doing it on four K soon.
Speaker 2: And now, just to quell anybody's thoughts on this, because
Speaker 2: there was a lot of people that said it's suspicious
Speaker 2: that we couldn't find this for years, and now vinegar
Speaker 2: Syndrome and Imprint is doing it. Yeah, they figured it
Speaker 2: out the right, So now multiple companies can do it
Speaker 2: in different territories. That's not surprising. This happens all the time.
Speaker 2: The other big thing, this is likely going to be
Speaker 2: the exact same restoration that Vinegar Syndrome did. It might
Speaker 2: have different slightly different encoding, which even then it probably
Speaker 2: will not. It's probably gonna be done by fidelity in
Speaker 2: motion as well.
Speaker 3: The release.
Speaker 2: The biggest thing is this might have different bonus features.
Speaker 2: Imprint usually does that. And just a fair warning for
Speaker 2: everybody said they were going to wait for the Imprint
Speaker 2: and see if there's a director's cut. It will not
Speaker 2: have a director's cut. It does not exist. The elements
Speaker 2: are not there.
Speaker 3: Do not plan on that.
Speaker 2: It is not something that you're going to be able
Speaker 2: to get.
Speaker 3: So all comes down to which packaging maybe price point yep,
Speaker 3: whether whether you're looking to be a completionist for Vinegar
Speaker 3: Syndrome or for Imprint.
Speaker 2: And also depending on where you live. I mean if
Speaker 2: you live in Australia, this is going to be the
Speaker 2: cheaper and easier one to get.
Speaker 3: No doubt that would make sense.
Speaker 2: For those that don't know Imprint is in Australia.
Speaker 3: For those who don't are.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I said it wrong.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 2: We got a bunch of details about Kino stuff. This
Speaker 2: week February eleventh is when we get the four K
Speaker 2: of Dante's Peak ninety seven. This has nothing new on it,
Speaker 2: including no at most, which a lot of people are
Speaker 2: gonna be upset about. We got a question for you,
Speaker 2: reservoir fellow wants to know, did you pre order Thong
Speaker 2: Girls from seven?
Speaker 3: I stared at the bundle. I sweat, I bargained with myself,
Speaker 3: I spoke to my spiritual advisor, I I meditated, I prayed,
Speaker 3: and just as I was about to explain to my
Speaker 3: children why we couldn't have Christmas this year, the bundle
Speaker 3: sold out. And so then I looked at the just
Speaker 3: the discs, and I nodded to myself. I'll be getting
Speaker 3: thongb Girls, I'll be getting Jungle Holocaust. I'll be upgrading
Speaker 3: my Cannibal Elms. I will get it. I will get it.
Speaker 2: I am so excited for you to have Thun Girls.
Speaker 3: Yeah, can never pass up of just Franko movie.
Speaker 2: All right? That is Dante's peak played again. Sam the
Speaker 2: Woody Allen movie getting a Blu Ray release on February eleventh.
Speaker 2: This will have a new commentary by the screenwriter, producer
Speaker 2: Alan Spencer, and the author and film a Story and
Speaker 2: Justin Humphreys. I am kind of proud of this, so
Speaker 2: I'm gonna repeat my joke. Somebody said, what is going
Speaker 2: on on the right side of the slipcover, Diane Keaton
Speaker 2: does not have ten legs, and I said, that's true,
Speaker 2: but five Diane Keatons do.
Speaker 3: Speaking of thung girls, not the best look in twenty
Speaker 3: twenty four for Woody Allen, but then ay, he's never
Speaker 3: looked that good.
Speaker 2: All right?
Speaker 3: Are you being served?
Speaker 2: The movie from nineteen seventy seven will release on Blue
Speaker 2: from Keno on February eighteenth. This has an audio commentary
Speaker 2: by authors and comedy historians Gimma and Robert Ross. This
Speaker 2: is one of the UK troops that put out some
Speaker 2: comedy films from back then. This one is from nineteen
Speaker 2: seventy seven. I had never seen this one. Will this
Speaker 2: kind of seems like one that you would have seen.
Speaker 2: Did have you ever seen this one?
Speaker 3: British British comedy.
Speaker 2: Yes, no it's not.
Speaker 3: I don't know why you would think that. It just
Speaker 3: seems like a you would have maybe seen it. I apologize.
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm not against it, it's just like.
Speaker 2: The British that's what I heard there.
Speaker 3: Well, I mean there are natural enemies historically speaking, like
Speaker 3: we've been to war with them twice, like they're tied
Speaker 3: with Iraq, tied with Iraq, and Germany is like our
Speaker 3: most hated enemies.

Speaker 3: Did Scream or Show Factory put it out before? Yeah? Okay,
Speaker 3: so it's the same. It's got a new our audio commentary.
Speaker 3: But it's worth it just for the Please Kill Mister
Speaker 3: Kinski short film that David Schmuller made. I don't know
Speaker 3: if you all aware this, but klaus Kinski was a
Speaker 3: troubled man.
Speaker 2: Oh I've never heard this.
Speaker 3: And in addition to committing various unsavory crimes, was also
Speaker 3: occasionally difficult to work with on set, and Schmoller has
Speaker 3: some really amazing stories about making Cross Space with Klauskinski.
Speaker 3: It's also a pretty good movie. It's got some scary moments,
Speaker 3: like if your nightmares don't include Klaus Kenzi crawling towards
Speaker 3: you in an air duct, they will.
Speaker 2: In other words, you may want this. Michael says, I
Speaker 2: got a very unexpected windfall of one thousand bucks today.
Speaker 2: So guess who has two thumbs and a deaf crocodile subscription? Excellent,

Speaker 2: We got some brand new Shout Factory announcements this month,
Speaker 2: February fourth. They are doing a Chinese Odyssey Parts one

Speaker 3: It's a Stephen challisance lately, you know. Sure is like
Speaker 3: if all you knew him from was what was it
Speaker 3: called Shallon Soccer Soccer? Yeah, yeah, which for many years
Speaker 3: was the only film of his I'd seen. And now, gosh,
Speaker 3: there's like a score. There are two score Stephen Chowe
Speaker 3: movies available now. How much is in a score?
Speaker 2: Fourteen?
Speaker 3: Okay, that's in Dungeons and Dragons.
Speaker 2: That's the quantity for no, sorry, a score is twenty.
Speaker 2: I apologize.
Speaker 3: A score is twenty in Dungeons and Dragons. A score
Speaker 3: is the quantity of crossbo crossbow bolts you buy.
Speaker 2: I learned something every single time we talk.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well at least it wasn't the second edition. I
Speaker 3: don't know about now.
Speaker 2: Times have changed slightly.
Speaker 3: Oh now it's all about the numbers.
Speaker 2: Hey, February fourth, they are releasing Sick on four K.
Speaker 2: This is from twenty twenty three. This is the one
Speaker 2: that was written by Kevin Williamson, and this is gonna

Speaker 2: new audio commentaries on this movie, one with Alan Serni,
Speaker 2: one with Getting Adlin and Beth Million, one with the director,
Speaker 2: John Hymes and Yarin Levy, the cinematographer. And then on
Speaker 2: the Blu Ray disc we also have four new Blu
Speaker 2: Ray level interviews. I mean, this looks like a solid
Speaker 2: release for a modern one. I don't think you saw
Speaker 2: this one? Did you see this one?
Speaker 3: Never heard of?
Speaker 1: It?
Speaker 3: Is John related to Peter. I feel like he was,
Speaker 3: but I may be wrong there looking it up on
Speaker 3: a magical film.
Speaker 2: Sick came out in response to COVID. COVID plays a
Speaker 2: huge part in the actual plot line. And I watch
Speaker 2: it when it first came out, and because of the
Speaker 2: link to COVID in the plot line, I hated it
Speaker 2: that first time. It's a much better movie than that.
Speaker 2: It's it's a really well made I assume that's a yes.
Speaker 3: He did Universal Soldier regeneration. So oh yeah, we're cool.
Speaker 3: We're cool. His Wikipedia doesn't say his daddy is.
Speaker 2: Maybe they're second cousins.
Speaker 3: Now he's the son of Peter Hims. Cool. Mm hmm.
Speaker 2: Kevin Williamson can still write a really great slasher. I
Speaker 2: think people would like this. If you've never seen it,
Speaker 2: check it out.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll check that out.
Speaker 2: The big thing though this is this was a straight
Speaker 2: to streaming film, and the fact that we're getting a
Speaker 2: four K for this is yet another win's. It's a
Speaker 2: pretty cool thing.
Speaker 4: Uh, speaking of pandemics, Yeah, go to Mars.
Speaker 2: The John Carpenter film gets a four K release on
Speaker 2: February eleventh from Screen Factory, and you can get two
Speaker 2: slipcovers with this and a The only thing new that
Speaker 2: was not on previous releases is an interview with the
Speaker 2: film music historian Daniel Schweiger. But hey, will, how do
Speaker 2: you feel about this art on this bonus slipcover?
Speaker 3: Well, it looks like someone's child is very very determined.
Speaker 3: Yes to draw. Are you going to say that that's
Speaker 3: artificial intelligence?
Speaker 2: It kind of.
Speaker 3: Looks like it to me.
Speaker 2: I'm not going to claim that it is for sure,
Speaker 2: but it looks.
Speaker 3: Well, there's no point. It's it's it's here. It's true.
Speaker 2: You know, Craig wants to shout out when you're buying
Speaker 2: something from Deaf Crocodile or others, put your apartment a
Speaker 2: unit number in the same line as your street address,
Speaker 2: not on address line too, because it doesn't care over sometimes.
Speaker 3: Ghosts of Mars.
Speaker 2: For all of the John Carpenter completists, that.
Speaker 3: Wants starring ice Cube with the hit new hit single
Speaker 3: Mars is most wanted. Yeah, yeah, I didn't hate it.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's not a terrible it's it's basically Assault
Speaker 2: on Precinct thirteen in space.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it's definitely not as good as Assault
Speaker 3: on Precinct thirteen, but I think it gets some undue hatred.
Speaker 3: It's it's cool, it's fun. It's got some neat little
Speaker 3: beats in it, like I have to take ecstasy to Like, yeah, okay,
Speaker 3: I'll do the upgrade. Uh.
Speaker 2: Speaking of upgrades. February eleventh, they're also doing a four
Speaker 2: kV Galaxy of Terror. This will have Dolby Vision presented
Speaker 2: in four K and how many new bonus features a
Speaker 2: total of zero.
Speaker 3: I love the way that they advertise it by saying
Speaker 3: Bill Paxton did the set decoration, production design by James Cameron.
Speaker 3: But it actually that is actually is kind of cool.
Speaker 3: You know, look, man, this movie's a lot of fun.
Speaker 3: You got Zombie King, you got Ray Walston, you got
Speaker 3: sid Haig, Eddie Albert like Aaron Robert England. Yeah, this

Speaker 3: I know the director, Barbara Peters wasn't happy with some
Speaker 3: of the boobies that Corman made her put in there,
Speaker 3: but the movie itself really works. I mean, it's it's
Speaker 3: just fun.
Speaker 2: I agree, And yet another Corman produced.

Speaker 2: and dramas Expect the unexpected.
Speaker 3: They only do eye opening films, which is why close
Speaker 3: your eyes could not be on the label. All right,
Speaker 3: Oh this is exciting. Do you know why?
Speaker 2: I do know why because audio commentary on this one
Speaker 2: with the one and only Erica Schultz and her podcasting

Speaker 2: an audio commentary together for the first time ever, an
Speaker 2: audio commentary from the director and co writer.

Speaker 2: Uh well, I mean look at the covers.
Speaker 3: What they uses the coffee table. Yeah.
Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 2: On top of all that, shout out to my friend
Speaker 2: Sam Cohen who is in the booklet as well. So
Speaker 2: with all kinds of people I know contributing to this one,
Speaker 2: I had to get this one. This this was a

Speaker 3: no no Land Snow Air.
Speaker 2: So this was a must as well.

Speaker 3: always said. It is true.
Speaker 2: Uh, this one the next new partner label. Because we
Speaker 2: got multiple new partner labels, No Budge is the next one.
Speaker 2: No Budge is a streaming platform and boutique label for

Speaker 2: low budget cinema worldwide, says The New York Times.
Speaker 3: This one says.
Speaker 2: When Jim and Dave meet at a cabin up state
Speaker 2: and an attempt to bond with their thirteen year old
Speaker 2: son Branson, tensions amount as differing parenting techniques come to

Speaker 3: I'm not. It's gotten great reviews. I'm not sure it's
Speaker 3: I'm not sure it's my type of humor, right, but
Speaker 3: I would see it.
Speaker 2: I'll give it a shot, Humboldt, says Ai RT, which
Speaker 2: this very well could be as well. Now in the trailer,
Speaker 2: those guys look like that just smudgy, pretty smudge guys.
Speaker 2: The label should have been called well, I guess no smudge.
Speaker 2: Would it have made sense?

Speaker 3: And you know, I've joked before about how like it seems.
Speaker 3: It seems like all s OV movies are horror films,
Speaker 3: but this is different. This is a more of a
Speaker 3: dramatic thriller.
Speaker 2: Looked pretty dang good.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I wanna check this one out for sure.

Speaker 2: behind the scenes featurette. And one of the one of
Speaker 2: the many vinegar syndrome controversies from the last week was
Speaker 2: people complaining about this because the slip on the back
Speaker 2: is just black.
Speaker 3: Hey, I again, you know, the first half of the
Speaker 3: description of that movie sounded like melusine, and then the
Speaker 3: second half didn't. Yeah, this looks cool. Eric, Wait, is
Speaker 3: that the Eric Roberts. Wait, it is.
Speaker 2: Twenty three, so that's a big possibility.

Speaker 2: Moving to the next one, this slip cover Shudder finally
Speaker 2: releasing Kuso from twenty seventeen on Blu ray. This is
Speaker 2: by Flying Lotus, which you may note as another musician,
Speaker 2: and this movie is wild. Did you watch Kuso?
Speaker 3: Will? I watched the trailer and then I I put
Speaker 3: it in my shutter cue. But I don't know. This
Speaker 3: movie is freaking insane. I'll check it out. It definitely
Speaker 3: looks like I wish it was shorter.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I could see that, but you know, I'm down
Speaker 4: with the drors.
Speaker 2: I think you would at least find something to love.
Speaker 2: The practical effects on this are crazy good.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I watched the Yeah. Like I said, I watched

Speaker 3: Quite the ecosystem you've tapped into, my friend.
Speaker 2: I'm trying. Uh the next one, Utopia putting out the
Speaker 2: line from twenty twenty three.
Speaker 3: I guess I should say, freako system.
Speaker 2: This one has an incredible cast. This looks really good. Actually,
Speaker 2: we've got Alex Wolf from Hereditary in this bo Mitchell
Speaker 2: Hallie Bailey, Austin Abrams, Lewis Pullman, Agnes Ingus Cloud, John Malkovich,
Speaker 2: Denise Richards, Scoot McNairy, Cherio Terry. Uh yeah please audio
Speaker 2: commentary with the director, some deleted scenes and a trailer.
Speaker 3: Tell you when I think of films that seriously delve
Speaker 3: into the psychological and physical violence associated with toxic masculinity,
Speaker 3: I think to myself, you know who we need in
Speaker 3: this movie, Cherio Terry. I watched the trailer hoping to
Speaker 3: see who she plays in this, Like, is she a cheerleader?
Speaker 3: Is no kidding? I kind of do want to watch this.
Speaker 3: This this has some stuff about hazing. I bet, I
Speaker 3: bet you know movies about fraternity hazing can be intense.
Speaker 3: I tell you one thing, man, I don't want to
Speaker 3: sound controversial or get all political, but I'm against fraternities
Speaker 3: in general for reasons that should be obvious. They perpetuate,
Speaker 3: you know, systems of power. But you know, to this
Speaker 3: day in twenty twenty four, most sororities have rules against
Speaker 3: serving alcohol at social functions. But if you try to,
Speaker 3: if you try to enact those rules against the good
Speaker 3: old boys, oh, it's a national issue, and multimillion dollar
Speaker 3: lobbying firms mobilized to ensure that institutes of higher education
Speaker 3: don't prevent underage boys from serving alcohol at their parties.
Speaker 3: You know what I mean? Like how screwed up? I mean,
Speaker 3: like do I even need to say? Or soci screwed
Speaker 3: up with? That's That's one of the many reasons.
Speaker 2: Terry went and checked and he says there are thirty
Speaker 2: three partner labels. Now you could argue thirty two, but
Speaker 2: they list Film Movement and Film Movement Classics as two
Speaker 2: different partner labels.
Speaker 3: Thirty three.
Speaker 2: Wow, that is a huge number. Yeah, and that's not
Speaker 2: counting the ones that have left either, which is crazy.
Speaker 2: I love a couple of these comments from Matthew here
Speaker 2: Utopia is usually a safe bet, I would say, one
Speaker 2: of the safest bets of the current partner labels I
Speaker 2: don't think I've not liked anything from Utopia, and then
Speaker 2: he says, without fraternities, we'd all have to join a
Speaker 2: sports team if we want to act like assholes on
Speaker 2: the weekends.
Speaker 3: I went to a Quaker college that didn't outlawed fraternities,
Speaker 3: and I can assure you we all acted like assholes anyway.
Speaker 3: You don't need a club or a.
Speaker 2: A requirement.
Speaker 3: No, No, it's like Lord of the Flies. You'll form
Speaker 3: your own little societies. Oh man, all right.
Speaker 2: Next up from Connie is maybe It's Love from nineteen eighty.
Speaker 3: Five and purchase Yeah. Same.
Speaker 2: Following her parents' separation, ten year old Marbles is sent
Speaker 2: to live with their grandmother in the outskirts of Hong Kong.
Speaker 2: Also new to town as the seductive pageant Queen Rita,
Speaker 2: whose skin tight leotards piqued the interest of a dashing
Speaker 2: postman already involved with the shopkeeper's wife Lynn.
Speaker 3: What a sentence.
Speaker 2: Meanwhile, the curious Marbles, who has made it a habit
Speaker 2: of spying on her neighbors with their binoculars, witnesses a
Speaker 2: murder on a stormy night. A ragtag team of kid
Speaker 2: detectives come together. Who is the killer? Where is the body?
Speaker 3: This sounds incredible.
Speaker 2: This one's from nineteen eighty four, ninety minutes long. We
Speaker 2: got an interview with a director that is twenty nine
Speaker 2: minutes long. A short film that is sixteen minutes long,
Speaker 2: book with a new writing by Catherine Connell. And can't
Speaker 2: wait to see this.
Speaker 3: A short films. It's funny because it's der Basa, right,
Speaker 3: the German, but if you read it in my natural accent,
Speaker 3: it's deir ba sach. And that's there's this instagrammer who
Speaker 3: does Appalachian words of the day that would definitely make
Speaker 3: the cut.
Speaker 2: So Niche, I love it. Another big one Icarus Films.
Speaker 2: They are putting out No Home Movie from twenty fifteen,
Speaker 2: the final film from Chantal Ackerman. This one is a
Speaker 2: portrait of her relationship with her mother, Natalia, a Holocaust
Speaker 2: survivor and familiar presence in many of her daughter's films.
Speaker 2: So I have a bonus documentary called I Don't Belong
Speaker 2: Anywhere the Cinema Chantelle Ackerman, and I mean this is
Speaker 2: as close as you can get to a must purchase.
Speaker 3: It feels like, oh yeah, you know, by coincidence. I
Speaker 3: was just reading a day on an article in Semiast magazine.
Speaker 3: The writer was talking about how this theater programmed a
Speaker 3: two year long retrospective of Ackerman's films and showed everything,
Speaker 3: all the features, shorts, documentaries, you know, right, she made
Speaker 3: like forty some films in order, in chronological order, and
Speaker 3: Chantal Akerman would come to do Q and A for
Speaker 3: the film's fairly regular regularly, and just a couple of
Speaker 3: weeks before no home movie was supposed to be shown
Speaker 3: in which Ackerman was supposed to appear to present it,
Speaker 3: she she killed herself and they they, you know, they
Speaker 3: went ahead with the screening, and the writer described just this,
Speaker 3: the outpouring of emotion such that she had been unprepared
Speaker 3: to or she hadn't predicted. I guess the intensity of
Speaker 3: everyone's feeling, you know, after after having you know, seen
Speaker 3: so many of these films, and the and the audience
Speaker 3: is getting bigger and bigger as the as the retrospective
Speaker 3: went on, and then right at the end, for for
Speaker 3: this to happen was so profoundly sad and I haven't
Speaker 3: seen no home movie yet, but yeah, as you said,
Speaker 3: if there's other than the Undertaker and his pals, if
Speaker 3: there is, I must purchase from the Oceans this month,
Speaker 3: This and you know in ways their companions.
Speaker 2: Oh man, I love that we're literally discussing like one
Speaker 2: hundred and ten films tonight.
Speaker 3: That's use those two. I think I got like four movies,
Speaker 3: and those were two of them.
Speaker 2: What's funny is it screams your taste perfectly.
Speaker 3: All right, move in to the next one.
Speaker 2: Canadian International Pictures putting out orders from nineteen seventy four.
Speaker 2: This is a fiftieth anniversary special edition. This was a
Speaker 2: one that I picked up again. They always do great
Speaker 2: what they're disscanned and restored from the thirty five millimeters OCN.
Speaker 2: This has a new commentary, it's got new interviews, it's
Speaker 2: got uh e. Those are all interviews as well. And
Speaker 2: then multiple documentaries, documentary shorts. They are so much on this.
Speaker 2: This sounds incredible. This this also seemed like a must absolutely.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, another another film that I don't know might
Speaker 3: be instructive right about now? True? True, you know you
Speaker 3: don't think of Canadians being fascist, you know, it's like, yeah,
Speaker 3: I'm gonna need to ask you to come along here.
Speaker 3: We're gonna go to the camp. But but the the Quebecy's.
Speaker 2: You realize, if you keep up with the Canadian slander,
Speaker 2: mister Sivener is gonna hop on the line to Canada.
Speaker 3: Well that just proved my point. Don't you go flander
Speaker 3: in my homeland. There a poser the accent.
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, yeah, silent man. I'm glad you saw
Speaker 2: that the Noah movie is not in the Criterion set.
Speaker 2: I the Canadian fascist accent. I don't know that that
Speaker 2: is going to be topped. That was that was pretty great.
Speaker 2: You said you got this one.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Oh Jesus Christ.
Speaker 4: The good people of Canada will not stand for this, will.
Speaker 3: I warned you. He was so quick. I told you
Speaker 3: those people are saints.
Speaker 2: They are making our maple syrup and their post office
Speaker 2: is on strike.
Speaker 3: Okay, that's true, though.
Speaker 2: Very timely announcement for everybody. By the way, if you
Speaker 2: collect physical media and it's going to Canada, sorry or
Speaker 2: sorry sorry watch it.

Speaker 3: Oh that was under a couch all right. Uh.
Speaker 2: The next one Shutter putting out The Sacrifice Game from
Speaker 2: Christmas Movies.
Speaker 3: Have you seen this one? No? I watched the trailer.
Speaker 3: It's a Christmas movie. It looks so good, apparently starring
Speaker 3: young Jack Black.
Speaker 2: I love that it's from last year, and.
Speaker 3: It's like, did I'm gonna have to sacrifice? You didn't?
Speaker 3: Did on the altar? Dude? Oh? Man, Oh that was
Speaker 3: really good.
Speaker 2: We gotta comment damn it. Commentary for the director of
Speaker 2: the co writer Jen Wexler. A bunch of other people
Speaker 2: on this as well, including Heather Buckley behind the scenes,
Speaker 2: Still's Gallery, Twilight the Flesh music video.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: This this looked really damn good. I'm eager to see
Speaker 2: this one. Um, all right, I think we're done with
Speaker 2: ocn Nope, No, oh, god, damn it. No, there's still
Speaker 2: three other things to cover.
Speaker 3: Jesus, Yellow Veil, and there's Yep, yep.
Speaker 2: I just forgot. This is the third new partner label
Speaker 2: for the month, Brainstorm Media putting out starve Acre from
Speaker 2: twenty twenty four, starring the one and only Matt Smith.
Speaker 2: And this was convenient. I'd been wanting to see this one.
Speaker 2: It's supposed to be pretty damn good.
Speaker 3: It's funny you say the one and only Matt Smith
Speaker 3: because there's probably like, like close to million Matt Smith.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was literally the point of that joke.
Speaker 3: Thank you.
Speaker 2: This one has a whole bunch of interviews from behind
Speaker 2: the scenes in a booklet with a new essay by
Speaker 2: Kim Newman.
Speaker 3: On this one, there's probably another Matt Smith who worked
Speaker 3: on the crew, literally like, hey, I'm Matt. Oh yeah,
Speaker 3: hey Matt, I'm Matt. One of us is more famous
Speaker 3: than the other. Anyway. There's some weird stuff going on
Speaker 3: with a kid in this movie. Yep. I don't think
Speaker 3: any kid deaths, but maybe we'll see.
Speaker 2: Uh. Yellow Veil Sweet Sweet Lonely Girl from twenty sixteen
Speaker 2: is their next release, another one that I'm usually pretty
Speaker 2: hot on the Yellow al titles this one says, soon
Speaker 2: after moving in with their aging aunt, Dora, Adele meets Beth,
Speaker 2: seductive and a mysterious who tests the limits of it.
Speaker 3: Yep, uh usually hot on the Sweet Lonely Girl.
Speaker 2: No on Yellow Veil, not Sweet Sweet Jesus.
Speaker 3: Just want to play a fire anyways.
Speaker 2: And mysteries who test the limits of Adele's moral ground
Speaker 2: and sensor spiraling down a psychologically unstable and phantasmagoric path.
Speaker 3: That's my guess.
Speaker 2: Sounds great. We got multiple commentaries, We've got alternate opening
Speaker 2: and ending. We've got some interviews and a trailer with
Speaker 2: an essay by Sam Deagan. Nice good look and release.
Speaker 2: We are booke ending tonight with damn. It couldn't even
Speaker 2: keep my mouth straight from the joke. We are bookending
Speaker 2: with beavers tonight. We started with hundreds of beavers, still
Speaker 2: going with hundreds of beavers this time. If you go
Speaker 2: to their website, you can buy one of seven hundred
Speaker 2: and fifty wood book slipcovers that they put out for
Speaker 2: this and I believe these are still in stock at
Speaker 2: the moment. You still get the same disc and everything.
Speaker 2: It's just in a wood slipcover.
Speaker 3: I'm not even I'll let Sidner make the joke.
Speaker 2: Okay, Well, my question to you is, did you, first off,
Speaker 2: did you look this up to you? Did you see
Speaker 2: how much this is? No?
Speaker 3: I was unaware of the wood book.
Speaker 2: This release, which is the same release as the OCN,
Speaker 2: just in a wood slip cover is seventy five dollars.
Speaker 3: Do you get lobby cards? No lobby cards, I was released,
Speaker 3: or maybe a wad of matted leaves.
Speaker 2: No leaves, none at all.
Speaker 3: I don't.
Speaker 2: I can't really tell if seventy five is like overpriced.
Speaker 3: Or just right fifty for the wood sleeve. It is,
Speaker 3: but it does feel special. Is it hand whittled, individually
Speaker 3: wittled or today I do it? There are seven.
Speaker 2: And fifty slippers and there's some old man on the
Speaker 2: court three whittled jesus. I mean it's probably laser printed,
Speaker 2: let's be honest. But I still think it's a really
Speaker 2: neat idea, and I'm glad they leaned into it.
Speaker 3: They just got the entire staff of Vinegar Syndrome whittling. Yes,
Speaker 3: like yeah, five percent other duties as needed. That's that's
Speaker 3: in every job description. Five percent other duties as needed.
Speaker 2: Oh my goodness. I love that they leaned into it too.
Speaker 2: They said, only seven hundred and fifty of these wooden
Speaker 2: slipcovers will ever be made. We have to cash in
Speaker 2: after all. They're just completely blatant about it.
Speaker 3: Fun idea.
Speaker 2: Glad they did this, This is pretty cool. Yeah, we
Speaker 2: are still not done, Willie. Willie, Yeah, it's trying something out.
Speaker 2: How do you feel.
Speaker 3: Slick? I guess it makes me feel slick, Willie.

Speaker 2: We've got a booklet with archival interviews with Ima Mura
Speaker 2: and uh yeah, once again Radiance with some great art
Speaker 2: and an incredible sounding movie.
Speaker 3: You know, it's amazing how across every culture, across all
Speaker 3: time periods, there seems to be a universal impulse to
Speaker 3: murder your cheating wife. And I'll tell you what. I'm
Speaker 3: proud to say that I grew up in the double
Speaker 3: murder capital of the Commonwealth of Virginia. There were I
Speaker 3: don't know, something like six or eight double homicides and
Speaker 3: they were all like a guy gets home to his
Speaker 3: double wide trailer and finds his wife in bed with
Speaker 3: his cousin or something and just blows them both away.
Speaker 3: But you know there's an honor at stake.
Speaker 2: I'm so glad for your uplifting stories every time.
Speaker 3: I mean, you can't just abide, all right? How do
Speaker 3: you transition away from that?
Speaker 2: That is the eel something happened and Instagram.
Speaker 3: Speaking of paragons of masculinity.
Speaker 2: Instagram deleted one of my Radiance posts. We're going to
Speaker 2: finish up Instagram in a little bit because I or
Speaker 2: finish up Radiance in a little bit. But the next
Speaker 2: one is a rare video title. March twenty fourth in
Speaker 2: the UK, this is the Fernando de Lao title Rulers
Speaker 2: of the City. This has a twenty twenty four K
Speaker 2: restoration Samark Cavil featurette's new interview with Mike Belloy and
Speaker 2: then a limited edition booklet with me writing by Francesco
Speaker 2: Massachi Jack Palins.
Speaker 3: Unfortunately it was not CGI recreated for the flash. I
Speaker 3: would have liked to see that, but hell yeah, Fernando
Speaker 3: de Leo, Jack Jack Plants, Are you kidding me? You
Speaker 3: don't even need to describe the movie I am in.
Speaker 3: I'm not pro murder. I'm just describing things that happen,
Speaker 3: speaking of Paragon's and masculinity Rainer Werner Fastbender. Yeah.
Speaker 2: On March twenty fourth in the UK, Radiance is releasing
Speaker 2: volume four of their Dirty Art House zine. This one
Speaker 2: is going to be dedicated to the less discussed side
Speaker 2: of serious and uh. It will be covering sex and
Speaker 2: it will include a lot of stuff like Nora and
Speaker 2: Sean Baker in the Realm of Senses and uh Fosspenders,
Speaker 2: Corelle and The Violence of Love. Yeah, Pasolini, Uh, visitor
Speaker 2: h K. All right, you're writing by Cat Ellener, Joseph Dwyer,
Speaker 2: Martin Conterio, Alexander Heller, Nicholas Lindsay, Halan and Moore to
Speaker 2: be confirmed.
Speaker 3: Neither of us, No, of course, not just to confirm.
Speaker 2: Abso absolutely. Like I said earlier, Second Sight, we'll be
Speaker 2: releasing The Coffee Table on four K and Blu Ray
Speaker 2: in early twenty twenty five.
Speaker 3: Ron Jeremy wasn't that he is the one that had
Speaker 3: sex on the Coffee Table? Oh that is Ron Jeremy. No,
Speaker 3: it sure looks like Ron Jeremy.
Speaker 2: It does, but it is not.
Speaker 3: Are you sure?
Speaker 2: I am not.
Speaker 3: Don Reremer, John Raremy. That sure as hell looks like
Speaker 3: Ron Jeremy. If that guy is not Ron Jeremy, it
Speaker 3: probably takes him a while to get places, you know
Speaker 3: what I mean, because people are constantly coming up to
Speaker 3: him saying, are you Ron Jeremy?
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 3: Paul wants to know.
Speaker 2: Is it any good? The Coffee Table. I've not seen
Speaker 2: it yet. Will's not seen it yet. I've known this
Speaker 2: was coming. I've been wanting to see it. From what
Speaker 2: I hear, it's a brutal movie. It's one of the
Speaker 2: extra violent films, lots of dead kids, supposedly Dead Baby specifically,
Speaker 2: and supposedly not one that you'll rewatch because it's a
Speaker 2: hard watch.
Speaker 3: It's a serbian piece of furniture. It was pretty good.
Speaker 2: Go into our next one December ninth in the UK,
Speaker 2: there's a blu ray coming out from Picturehouse entertain of
Speaker 2: Only the River Flows. As far as I can tell
Speaker 2: so far, at least, this is the only physical media
Speaker 2: release of this movie that has been coming out. I
Speaker 2: know some people have been wanting to see this.
Speaker 3: Again.
Speaker 2: Some Asian films the last handful of years have just
Speaker 2: been incredible, and some of the smaller companies have been
Speaker 2: getting rights for them really easily, so eager to check
Speaker 2: this out.
Speaker 3: I don't know about the tagline, why not, will let's
Speaker 3: hear it. The tagline is some mysteries run deep. Yes, Well,
Speaker 3: if it doesn't run deep, it's probably not going to
Speaker 3: be much of a mystery.
Speaker 2: This is true.
Speaker 3: It's more of a like momentary quandary, like who took
Speaker 3: the butter knife?
Speaker 2: That's the first mystery that goes to mind.
Speaker 3: Oh it was you. You know, some mysteries run I mean,
Speaker 3: if it's a mystery worth calling a mystery, it probably
Speaker 3: runs deep.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: If it doesn't run deep, it's like, you know.
Speaker 2: To be fair though, as far as taglines go, the
Speaker 2: vast majority of mysteries run deep would be much worse.
Speaker 3: Well, I'm just saying this mystery runs really deep. It
Speaker 3: might be so much words for some reason. This is
Speaker 3: the deepest mystery you've ever fucking heard of. You'll never
Speaker 3: guess this one. Oh it was the husband. Okay.
Speaker 2: So this one is from twenty twenty three and says
Speaker 2: dedicated police detective Ma je is assigned the case of
Speaker 2: a series of horrific murders and a real Chinese town
Speaker 2: As the investigation progresses, pressure from his superiors to find
Speaker 2: the suspected serial killer mounts, leading to a hasty arrest.
Speaker 2: But while his colleagues rush to celebrate, several clues push
Speaker 2: Maja deeper into a desperate investigation of his own, leading
Speaker 2: him into a dark world where mystery hangs over his
Speaker 2: every lead. I definitely want to see this one.
Speaker 3: Well is it deep or does it hang over you?
Speaker 2: Well, you have to get deep first.
Speaker 3: I don't know. I feel like you should not have
Speaker 3: said that. That sounds more like it looms like some
Speaker 3: mixtures loom menacingly. Oh rag now all right, ah, here
Speaker 3: we go, speaking of manly men.
Speaker 2: We talked to talk about this twice the last time
Speaker 2: or the time before that when Will was so excited
Speaker 2: and uh.
Speaker 3: We got we got.
Speaker 2: Details that the uh, The Conqueror from Keno is coming
Speaker 2: out on February twenty fifth, starring John Wayne as uh
Speaker 2: cankis cod.
Speaker 3: Wait who does the audio commentary?
Speaker 2: David del Val and Dan Marino.
Speaker 3: Oh it's a different it's a different Damn Marina. But
Speaker 3: wouldn't have been awesome though if it was that Dan Marina, it.
Speaker 2: Really would have been. It probably would have been an
Speaker 2: awful audio coming.
Speaker 3: To but one and only Matt Smith. There's been some
Speaker 3: great lines today. I didn't welcome Ron Jeremy. I just
Speaker 3: said the dude looked like Ron Jeremy. He's been he
Speaker 3: did some bad stuff. To sum it up, he did

Speaker 2: radiance one that we were missing that pissing people off
Speaker 2: because in big letters it says hard boiled, and it

Speaker 2: March twenty fifth in North America is three pulp thrillers
Speaker 2: by Alaine Corneau from nineteen seventy six to nineteen eighty one.

Speaker 3: is getting getting us one step closer to the eventual
Speaker 3: Savage Steve Holland four K box set. Come on, let's
Speaker 3: get there. I think this is kind of a must
Speaker 3: have if you're a fan of Q Sack and teen
Speaker 3: comedies and a great.
Speaker 2: Cast Keith David ben Stiller. Jerry Stiller tell me that
Speaker 2: he does not look like he wants to be Charles Bronson.
Speaker 3: He is our generation's Charles Bronson, and I don't that lightly.
Speaker 3: I'm a man who respects Charles Bronson, probably more than
Speaker 3: anyone I know, and having seen enough Liam nee and
Speaker 3: action thrillers, I can now say that he is the
Speaker 3: closest we have to Charles Bronson living today.
Speaker 2: So this Liam Neeson movie is absolution. This is from
Speaker 2: twenty twenty four, and I love that the first three
Speaker 2: words in the synopsis are obvious an aging gangster attempts
Speaker 2: to reconnect with his children and rectify the mistakes in
Speaker 2: his past. But the criminal underworldwide, I don't think that's
Speaker 2: what that meant to say. A criminal underworld I assume
Speaker 2: won't loosen their grip willingly. Gotta love copying the synopsis.
Speaker 3: I know I haven't always been there as a father,
Speaker 3: but I have a very special set of talents.
Speaker 2: Take two of the word ist skills, whatever skills that
Speaker 2: was me giving a note to Nissan and then he.
Speaker 3: Like pulls a quarter out of your ear. You can
Speaker 3: keep that. That's for you with the voice. Uh.
Speaker 2: Next up, Uh, this one's elevation from this year, and
Speaker 2: this includes Anthony Mackie and uh.
Speaker 3: Says.
Speaker 2: Set in the post apocalyptic Rocky Mountains, a single father
Speaker 2: and two women venture from the safety of their homes
Speaker 2: to face monstrous creatures to save the life.
Speaker 3: Of a young boy. That looks great. You got single
Speaker 3: father and two women, you got snow, you got monsters,
Speaker 3: you got a throutle, and you got Captain America. Well reluctantly, no,
Speaker 3: I mean it's probably terrible, but I would one hundred
Speaker 3: percent watch that.
Speaker 2: Oh and you would love it. Yeah, Dinner with a
Speaker 2: Leather Face is coming out on February twenty fifth from
Speaker 2: Anchor Bay, the revitalized Anchor Bay. This is a documentary
Speaker 2: about Gunner Hanson, the actor who portrayed leather Face in
Speaker 2: the Texas Chainsaw Masker and has a bunch of people
Speaker 2: talking about him.
Speaker 3: Oh, this is definite.
Speaker 2: This is the third Toby Hooper reference on a Will
Speaker 2: Doddson night. What are the odds of that?
Speaker 3: A lot of people don't know this, but Gunner Hanson
Speaker 3: was an amazing writer and he was he was an
Speaker 3: environmental writer. In the eighties, he toured the Barrier Islands
Speaker 3: from the Gulf of Mexico up to Maine. And this
Speaker 3: is in the mid mid eighties. He wrote this book
Speaker 3: called Islands at the Edge of Time and he talked
Speaker 3: about he described the changes, the the erosion of the
Speaker 3: Barrier Islands, the instability of those ecosystems due to climate change.
Speaker 3: Before we even had the term climate change, we weren't
Speaker 3: even really seeing global warming yet. And it's the it's this.
Speaker 3: I highly recommend the book Islands at the Edge of Time.
Speaker 3: You can find it used online. And he writes so
Speaker 3: beautifully about these these islands and the communities of people
Speaker 3: who live there, both people who who kind of you know,
Speaker 3: built their own homes and have been there for generations,
Speaker 3: but also like the rapid real estate development of you know,
Speaker 3: coastal properties for for you know, bougie, wealthy, upper middle
Speaker 3: class people to kind of rent and owned beach houses
Speaker 3: that inevitably fall into the sea. And I'm reading it now.
Speaker 3: I read it for the first time in the early
Speaker 3: two thousands and then again during the pandemic while I
Speaker 3: was working on the Toby Hooper book, and it's an incredible,
Speaker 3: incredible and very prescient book. He was a true intellectual
Speaker 3: and an artist, Gunnar Hanson. And if all you know
Speaker 3: him from is Texas chainsaw masacer and Hollywood chansaw hookers
Speaker 3: and stuff like that, you know him. You know, he
Speaker 3: has a great sense of humor, and he's he's a huge,
Speaker 3: literally huge screen presence. But this man's an intellectual and
Speaker 3: an incredibly empathetic and artistic, as I said, person, So
Speaker 3: I'm very excited to see this documentary to learn more
Speaker 3: about him. He not only wrote islands at that time,
Speaker 3: he wrote studies of shells, seashells like Northeast coastal environments
Speaker 3: I mean he was. He was a naturalist, and you
Speaker 3: can I mean, look at me. It looks like horror.
Speaker 3: David Attenborough or Richard Attenborough, whichever one. Who's the one
Speaker 3: that does the nature Richard Attenborough. Yeah, he's America's Attinborough.
Speaker 3: We got there in the end. Check it out, love
Speaker 3: Gunner Hanson. I wish I could have met him, man,
Speaker 3: I tell.
Speaker 2: You that seems odd that you didn't for some reason.
Speaker 3: Well, he died, you know, he died pretty young.
Speaker 2: I thought, all right, somehow, will we still have fifteen?
Speaker 3: Eat it up? Dude?
Speaker 2: All right?

Speaker 2: set design gallery, concept art gallery, Church Fight, featurette, make up,
Speaker 2: special effects, behind the set clips, and I have been
Speaker 2: wanting to see this quite a bit from what I hear.
Speaker 3: There's no dialogue.
Speaker 2: It seems like that's an ongoing, recurring like a trope
Speaker 2: over the last couple of years.
Speaker 3: Wow, it's pretty hard to achieve in a devout female
Speaker 3: lead community. I'll just letting you sit on that one.
Speaker 3: Just kidding. Oh.
Speaker 2: Altered Innocence releasing Endless Summer Syndrome from twenty twenty three
Speaker 2: on February eleventh, continuing what sounds like amazing films from them.
Speaker 3: Said the guy who's been talking for three damn hours.
Speaker 3: Jesus Christ. Yeah, yeah, that has been you huh what
Speaker 3: That's what I said. Yeah, I know we're to quote
Speaker 3: Meg Ryan, flibberty gibbets, flibberty gibbets. That's what we are.
Speaker 2: So this one synopsis says, a lazy late summer weekend
Speaker 2: is disrupted by a shocking allegation when Delphine gets an
Speaker 2: anonymous call from her husband's colleague about a legend affair
Speaker 2: with one of their adopted children. Before leaping to conclusions,
Speaker 2: she decides to quietly observe her family for a shred
Speaker 2: of evidence, anything to subside or fear and race doubt.
Speaker 2: After the truth presents itself in an unexpected shocking manner,
Speaker 2: Delphine choses chooses to look past the blame for a
Speaker 2: permanent solution. This boundary pushing debut feature by kave Don
Speaker 2: Shaman paints an intimate portrait of an upper class French
Speaker 2: family with sly black humor and sensuality of plenty.
Speaker 3: Jesus Christ is this Written by Woody Allen?
Speaker 2: This seems like it might be in the ICU and
Speaker 2: a perfect timing for celest to show up. Yeah, the
Speaker 2: Incess Cinematic Universe.
Speaker 3: Did you just make that up?
Speaker 2: No, it is an ongoing joke.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 3: Anyway, well, I don't think I don't think that's a
Speaker 3: that big of a deal in France.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 3: I just saw Craig's joke. That was pretty funny.
Speaker 2: Craig said, because Celeste said altered innocence and then heart,
Speaker 2: and Craig said, altered innocence is less than three, I'd
Speaker 2: say there at least a six.
Speaker 3: Uh. That was so corny. I love it. No, I
Speaker 3: told you I don't watch the show so earnest. Oh
Speaker 3: my god, Oh man, you want to know a great
Speaker 3: incest movie? No, what's the name of hold on, let
Speaker 3: me find it. You can talk about The Killer for
Speaker 3: a second.
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's talk about the John Woo film The Killer
Speaker 2: coming to Blu Ray on.
Speaker 3: April four That don't confuse people.
Speaker 2: This is the John Woo film The Killer coming to
Speaker 2: ray on April fourteenth. He remade his own film. It's
Speaker 2: more of a reimagining.
Speaker 3: Is that.
Speaker 2: It is nuts? It is Yes, this is from this
Speaker 2: year and got pretty horrific reviews. This is coming on
Speaker 2: Blu Ray in April fourteenth, And I guess I should
Speaker 2: say Blu ray and DVD in the UK. This will
Speaker 2: likely not get a physical release for a while here
Speaker 2: at least. This is a peacock title in the US.
Speaker 2: We'll see if it gets anything.
Speaker 3: Peacock. Yeah, peacock Okay, I found it. Yeah, when do
Speaker 3: you watch? Oh? Where do you hear about this freaking movie? Dude?
Speaker 3: I couldn't believe it when I saw it for the
Speaker 3: first time. Okay, are you ready?
Speaker 2: Probably not?
Speaker 3: So you know the Brady Bunch, I've heard of them. Okay.
Speaker 3: So there's this TV movie in nineteen eighty six. Come on, dude,
Speaker 3: you're with me. There's this team you can take the
Speaker 3: killer off. There was this TV movie in nineteen eighty
Speaker 3: six called Sin of Innocence. You ever hear this?
Speaker 2: No, that's a crazy title.
Speaker 3: So the Brady Bunch parents in this scenario are Bill
Speaker 3: Bigsby and de Wallace Stone and their kids who who
Speaker 3: Brady Bunch style come together are Megan Follows, Yes, Anne
Speaker 3: of Green Gables and Dermott Mulrooney. Now let's say this
Speaker 3: nineteen eighty six. Now let me let me ask you
Speaker 3: a question, Ryan Arroll. Imagine yourself a sixteen year old
Speaker 3: girl and suddenly you you are sharing space with Dermott
Speaker 3: mulrooney similarly aged Yeah, your step siblings. All right, but
Speaker 3: is that gonna stop you? Well in this movie Sin
Speaker 3: of Innocence, it does not.
Speaker 2: Well, God, Dermot, I you know what, I'm.
Speaker 3: Gonna put that on my list. I don't even think
Speaker 3: that is a DVD release that I saw that on cable.
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 3: All right, let me tell you, I'm a huge Anna
Speaker 3: green Gables fan. Huge wet at the end of both
Speaker 3: Anne of Green Gables and Uh, Anne of Avonlea not
Speaker 3: to mean not to mention in the Return whatever it's called.
Speaker 3: Wept at the end of all three mini series. Uh.
Speaker 3: Wept at the death of Richard Farnsworth, wept the death
Speaker 3: of Colleen Dewhurst, wept at the Return to Avonlea. Was
Speaker 3: just the right age to fixate my prepubescent attention on
Speaker 3: Meghan Follows the titular Anakan Gables. And so when I
Speaker 3: saw Sin of Innocence aged twelve and Meghan Follows is
Speaker 3: getting it on with her brother Dermot mulrooney, let me
Speaker 3: tell you it agitated some very confusing feelings that I
Speaker 3: still have not unpacked thirty years later.
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, So.
Speaker 3: Make that confession.
Speaker 2: Michael says, what about Anna of Hathaway, She.
Speaker 3: Got them cartoon eyes. She looks like a Christopher Lloyd
Speaker 3: and who framed Roger Rabbit's her dad? Matthew. Yeah.
Speaker 2: The strange thing about the Johnson's.
Speaker 3: Is christ Where did that come from?
Speaker 2: Incredible short. It's a it's a good short film.
Speaker 3: Did I miss it? Do we talk about that?
Speaker 2: No, you're just talking about and that came up regularly.

Speaker 3: So speaking of innocence.

Speaker 2: it as well. Who is here in the chat?
Speaker 3: What's going on? Christ Nice? And that's what we got.
Speaker 2: Will you want to talk about some holiday movies?
Speaker 3: Well, now I have to say all of my holiday
Speaker 3: movies are Christmas themed, and that is not to be exclusionary.
Speaker 3: It's just that my particular background is Christmas. Grew up
Speaker 3: in the Mountains group a lot of snow, and we
Speaker 3: celebrate Christmas such as it is in my churchless Heathen family.
Speaker 3: So there are several Christmas theme movies that I grew
Speaker 3: up really liking and others that I've come to as
Speaker 3: an adult that I appreciate quite a bit. Nice, how
Speaker 3: about you.
Speaker 2: I don't have a ton of traditions with holiday movies.
Speaker 2: I I've started one where every every Christmas, I'm showing
Speaker 2: my kids again and again and again them up It's
Speaker 2: Christmas Carol, just because I want that to be the
Speaker 2: one they remember. For this I try to watch some
Speaker 2: new ones every year that I never saw. There's still
Speaker 2: a lot that I've never seen that are like the
Speaker 2: canon titles for this sort of thing. But I mean,
Speaker 2: I gotta be honest, I don't I don't love a
Speaker 2: lot of them.
Speaker 3: Does Canon have any Christmas movies Canon? They probably do?
Speaker 2: It, probably do. Yeah, it's I don't know. It's a weird,
Speaker 2: weird thing because I don't love like the forced schmaltz
Speaker 2: of a lot of it. I I'd rather watch almost
Speaker 2: any other movie compared to that.
Speaker 3: So I don't do any good. Now. I have to
Speaker 3: admit I've never seen any of the Hallmark Christmas movies,
Speaker 3: although I do want to start now that I know
Speaker 3: that fred Ol and Ray almost a lot of Christmas.
Speaker 3: I think that's great. But the ones I grew up
Speaker 3: what I mean, do you have Do you have any?
Speaker 3: I bet? I bet some of them we probably have
Speaker 3: in common.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean we were always we would watch The Grinch,
Speaker 2: the animated Grinch, the classic. Of course.
Speaker 3: I grew up with.
Speaker 2: Home Alone was a common one for me because I
Speaker 2: was right at that age. Yeah, okay, you don't care
Speaker 2: about my ship.
Speaker 3: Go ahead, Well I'm own three. But it's not Christmas.
Speaker 2: I never sit Home Alone three, But go ahead.
Speaker 3: I like Home on three. I don't like the first two.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's you. I get it.
Speaker 3: No, Well, obviously, the Silent Night, Deadly Night franchise. I
Speaker 3: celebrate the entire catalog.
Speaker 2: Of course you do.
Speaker 3: Christmas Evil, right, I love Christmas Evil, Black Christmas Classic.
Speaker 3: I mean still haven't seen the remake. Neither one of them.
Speaker 2: There's two remakes, twenty six and twenty nineteen.
Speaker 3: Okay, well I will. I mean the originals, they are
Speaker 3: none of them, None of them are like each other.
Speaker 3: All Yeah, I don't really compare. I mean, obviously, the
Speaker 3: original Black Christmas is amazing. Ronnie is asking, how can
Speaker 3: I not like Home Alone? It's not that I don't
Speaker 3: like Home Alone. It's that I like Home Alone three
Speaker 3: so much more than the first two Home Alones that
Speaker 3: it's hard for me to watch any Home Alone without
Speaker 3: being like, I'd rather watch homelone three. The villains, the scenarios,
Speaker 3: the traps. You know, obviously, I'm sure we're both big
Speaker 3: gremlins people.
Speaker 2: Of course, show my kids that either last year or
Speaker 2: the year before.
Speaker 3: Angel Q Henry just Scot done watching The Family Stone.
Speaker 3: I actually saw that in the theater. Didn't hate it,
Speaker 3: didn't hate it. All right, So now I'm going to
Speaker 3: go through. Now that I've gone through, Now that I've
Speaker 3: said those movies that I figure everybody likes or would
Speaker 3: expect me to like, I'm gonna say the ones that
Speaker 3: are maybe more idiosyncratic. Shoot, yeah, Home on three had
Speaker 3: a very young Scarlet Johanson. That was one of her
Speaker 3: first movies. But the traps, the traps just amazing, just amazing. Okay,
Speaker 3: that's funny. Michael Smith corrected, Family Man. I don't even
Speaker 3: know what that is. I saw the Family's done though, well.
Speaker 2: Family Man or Family Sowne was my mom saying that
Speaker 2: she watched that. He was saying that he watched Family
Speaker 2: Guy and then changed it to Family Man.
Speaker 3: Oh oh oh, I didn't see the names. Okay, well,
Speaker 3: me and your mom are down, thanks Ded. All right,
Speaker 3: here are by great demand my favorite Christmas movies. I
Speaker 3: like Bad Santa Okay, the movie doesn't really work overall,
Speaker 3: but I like it. I like it when he yells
Speaker 3: at kids who doesn't. Yeah. Yeah. I like Meet Me
Speaker 3: in Saint Louis Judy Garland Classic, it's a dark movie.
Speaker 2: I like.
Speaker 3: Rare Exports a Christmas Tale. One of the first dates
Speaker 3: I took my wife on my now wife, who I
Speaker 3: wasn't married to at the time. We were just getting
Speaker 3: to know each other, and I said, I'd like to
Speaker 3: take you to see Rare Exports of Christmas Tale. It's
Speaker 3: a finished movie about Santa Claus. And she was like okay,
Speaker 3: and then we saw it and it was badass. Rare
Speaker 3: Exports at Christmas? Have you seen it?
Speaker 2: Rare Exports is great. I genuinely really love Rare Exports.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I was just asked how all my classes are
Speaker 3: two hours and fifteen minutes. I actually talk fast in
Speaker 3: the last mainly to piss off the people who are
Speaker 3: trying to record me or who have like learning Accommodations
Speaker 3: and my two very favorite Christmas movies, Neck and Neck
Speaker 3: one and two maybe one A and one B. My
Speaker 3: two very favorite Christmas movies Night of the Comet and
Speaker 3: Four Christmases.
Speaker 2: Four Christmas is pretty good.
Speaker 3: With Reese Witherspoon and Vincent Vaughn, who reportedly did not
Speaker 3: get along because she liked to learn her lines and
Speaker 3: he was in the throes of a period of his life.
Speaker 3: All right, but the movie turned out great. One of
Speaker 3: my favorite, uh, Robert duval performances of all time, definitely
Speaker 3: top five, Robert Duvall.
Speaker 2: I love that you doubted your existence the moment you
Speaker 2: said that.
Speaker 3: My second favorite John Voight movie, what's number one? Deliverance? Dude?
Speaker 2: Okay, I was waiting to hear like National Treasure.
Speaker 3: I've never seen that. So those are my Christmas movies.
Speaker 3: I mean, there are others, but those are my favorites,
Speaker 3: not bad picks.
Speaker 2: Not bad picks.
Speaker 3: And you don't you have the Muppet.
Speaker 2: That's the main one that I'm leaning on now because
Speaker 2: every year I'm trying to watch new stuff that I missed.
Speaker 3: Well, I guess the what's that movie? The Passion? The
Speaker 3: Pasts of Carol will be that'll be a new favorite,
Speaker 3: oh man.
Speaker 2: I mean a lot of the classics. I don't like
Speaker 2: that much. Like I'm not a fan of Scrooged. I've
Speaker 2: never been a big Bill Murray person, so that one
Speaker 2: never hit.
Speaker 3: I don't like Scrooge either. I don't know why.
Speaker 2: It just doesn't feel good.
Speaker 3: I said that to one of my colleagues, and she
Speaker 3: was like upset. It's like, how can you not like Scrooge?
Speaker 3: So I was like, same way, I cannot like you.
Speaker 2: Keeping bed person, I like her just fine.
Speaker 3: I what else?
Speaker 2: I like a lot of animation. I know that you're
Speaker 2: not as big into animation as I am, but a
Speaker 2: lot of those I still.
Speaker 3: Watch, Like What Christmas Carol? That's cute, and I like
Speaker 3: the mupp at Christmas.
Speaker 2: Cant well, Muppets is an animation more like the Classic Grinch,
Speaker 2: the the Peanuts Christmas special they did Thereries God, one
Speaker 2: or two others that we've done you which one is
Speaker 2: surprisingly good?
Speaker 3: Did you watch that uh Justice League Christmas?
Speaker 2: Uh? I think it was called Klaus that came out
Speaker 2: just a couple of years ago, animated on Netflix.
Speaker 3: It's really well made.
Speaker 2: And then Kurt Russell did a Santa Claus role in
Speaker 2: a Netflix film just like five years ago.
Speaker 3: It's me and my wife ate a bunch of mushrooms
Speaker 3: and watched that. Yep, wasn't the best choice, I h remember.
Speaker 3: Probably she just watched nothing to listen to music instead,
Speaker 3: but we decided to watch fucking Kurt Russell.
Speaker 2: Reminds me last year, I think it was on Christmas Eve,
Speaker 2: and this is gonna be like the worst way to
Speaker 2: spend Christmas Eve, So don't share. Don't tell the wife
Speaker 2: that I shared the story. We waited until the last
Speaker 2: minute to wrap all the kids' gifts, and so it
Speaker 2: was Christmas Eve and we sat up in the living
Speaker 2: room and she had I think she had fallen or
Speaker 2: just pulled her back or something and had gotten like
Speaker 2: full blown muscle relaxers because her back was that bad.
Speaker 2: And so we sat down on Christmas Eve to wrap
Speaker 2: all these together while watching The Iron Claw, and she
Speaker 2: took two muscle relaxers and by the second present was
Speaker 2: literally like full blown asleep, handing me pieces of tape
Speaker 2: and not making it to me while the Iron Claws
Speaker 2: playing and people are dying on film, And yeah, that
Speaker 2: was a that was a weird one.
Speaker 3: We're watching that Santa Claus movie, all fucked up and
Speaker 3: things are happening, and she's like, what movie is this again?
Speaker 3: And I'm like, break breakdown. I think breakdown. It's escape
Speaker 3: from La. I like escape from La. It's fun it's
Speaker 3: what's not a goy's what's about to happen.
Speaker 2: It's so weird that Matt Gates was in that movie,
Speaker 2: so ahead of time.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's funny. So I teach this course in media
Speaker 3: history from oral oral communication to digital media. You know,
Speaker 3: and you think about, if you believe scientists, human beings
Speaker 3: have been on earth for about two hundred thousand years, right,
Speaker 3: and if you think about modern mass media, like the
Speaker 3: first print newspapers, that's about three hundred and fifty years.
Speaker 3: So in three hundred and fifty years, we've gone from
Speaker 3: newspapers like the first like commodification of information as a
Speaker 3: commercial product to like we're cyborgs now right, Like we're
Speaker 3: constantly interacting with screen media. We're constantly like every action
Speaker 3: we take is recorded and categorized and broadcast, sold broadcasts,
Speaker 3: and we're constantly consuming and producing content, which is the
Speaker 3: word that we've given to media recordings that exist only
Speaker 3: in digital form and so two hundred thousand years of
Speaker 3: human life, three hundred and fifty years of modern mass
Speaker 3: media like Google's nineteen ninety eight. Right, So we're talking
Speaker 3: about not even thirty years of our modern digital.
Speaker 2: Life aggregated searching.
Speaker 3: And any moment the electrical grid could go down, an
Speaker 3: electrical grid is less than one hundred and fifty years
Speaker 3: old itself. What happens.
Speaker 2: People are pissed.
Speaker 3: I don't know about you, but I'm going full cannibal
Speaker 3: right away. I'm not getting weak that yellow jackets shit.
Speaker 3: That wouldn't you wouldn't have to like or through a
Speaker 3: bunch of flashbacks and flash forwards day one, like oh
Speaker 3: you're injured, I'm eating you, We're freezing the rest.
Speaker 2: But my point is I would like to reiterate that
Speaker 2: earlier in the show, Ronnie says Will is very pro
Speaker 2: death tonight, and you argued that you weren't.
Speaker 3: I'm never pro death. Well it happens. I'm not pro
Speaker 3: my death, I'll tell you that much. Despite my lifestyle.
Speaker 3: I'm just saying, all right, like look at look at
Speaker 3: the world that we've made, and how precarious it is,
Speaker 3: Like we live longer than we've ever lived before. But
Speaker 3: we're more helpless than some of us. Yes, well, I
Speaker 3: mean the pores.
Speaker 2: Which I was talking about, the fats.
Speaker 3: Well, I don't know. Man freaking Trump's eighty eating nothing
Speaker 3: at McDonald's. He's fine. The fuck. Don't wish death on
Speaker 3: Joe Ramony. My point is, and look at this farce. Man,
Speaker 3: we're all we're all looking at a live stream. What
Speaker 3: the fuck is a live stream?
Speaker 2: It's proof that we are alive.
Speaker 3: I didn't even know what this was until COVID. I
Speaker 3: guess hardly any of us did. I mean, people were
Speaker 3: just watching regular unboxing movies till then.
Speaker 2: We just played video games on their own, rather than watching.
Speaker 3: People video games talk about. I mean, we're all lawnmower
Speaker 3: men talk about the matrix. This shit's voluntary. I don't know.
Speaker 3: Film is the ultimate art because it synthesizes all the
Speaker 3: other arts. But it's also the most precarious one, because
Speaker 3: it's the only art that depends upon electricity. The grig
Speaker 3: goes down, all the theater kids will be fine. The
Speaker 3: film nerds are gonna be fucked up. You know, Quentin Tarantino, No,
Speaker 3: there is no Quentin Tarantino. There's reallyst Shakespeare. There's only Shakespeare, ShakespeRe.
Speaker 3: Shakespeare's like the Quentin Tarantino of the Renaissance. Well, it
Speaker 3: has been a wild night. We're all gonna die.
Speaker 2: Three and a half hours of existential dread.
Speaker 3: That is pro murder.
Speaker 4: I'm not pro murder, not what I heard.
Speaker 3: Some things just have to be done. You know, some
Speaker 3: mysteries run deep. Note that was perfect.
Speaker 2: Uh. Can't wait to do this again with you next month,
Speaker 2: in a brand new year. We will be in twenty
Speaker 2: twenty five next time you are here.
