Speaker 1: No sign of d of.
Speaker 2: Hey, hey, I am back from LA. Everything's sort of
Speaker 2: getting back to normal. How's everybody doing? Great to be
Speaker 2: back with you all. It is going to be an
Speaker 2: exciting night. Chris is about to be dropping in. He
Speaker 2: is getting ready for the show and we're gonna be
Speaker 2: covering all kinds of exciting stuff tonight. Way more announcements
Speaker 2: than I expected this week, including a huge up from
Speaker 2: Disco Tech uh, and of course a bunch from Keno.
Speaker 2: But the man of the hour, mister Chris Haskell, is here. Chris, Hello,
Speaker 2: welcome sir, Thank you. How you doing doing well? How
Speaker 2: you been doing well? Doing well?
Speaker 1: Happy Thursday?
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's great to see you again.
Speaker 1: Thank you, same to you. Let's see what's new since
Speaker 1: the last time I saw you?
Speaker 2: They Live?
Speaker 1: Was there? What's right below they Live? Uh?
Speaker 2: That is Evil Dead two? And then I've got the
Speaker 2: your next steel book and I think a Rob Zombie
Speaker 2: steel book and something else.
Speaker 1: I didn't know you were doing steel books on the wall?
Speaker 1: Is that new?
Speaker 2: Yeah? No, it's a I've got one. I've got about
Speaker 2: eight of the little shelve they're acrylic shelves so they're
Speaker 2: see through, so they don't hide the bottom of it.
Speaker 2: And I've got like the Universal Classic Monsters steel books,
Speaker 2: okay with those, And I've got I rigged these up
Speaker 2: so that there's two of them, and each one can
Speaker 2: really only fit three, but if you put them close,
Speaker 2: you can balance one in between two of them, so
Speaker 2: we can fit seven. So I cheated the system. So
Speaker 2: I've got seven Universal Monsters one. So I got that
Speaker 2: set up. I've got a John Carpenter shrine with nine
Speaker 2: of his steel books. That's just a mishmash. And yeah,
Speaker 2: I think I've got a couple others around the room.
Speaker 2: It's kind of crazy. Good to see you. We got
Speaker 2: a lot of new stuff for you to cover this
Speaker 2: time though, Hello, can you hear me now?
Speaker 1: Sorry, I had to do that because the house is
Speaker 1: not fully asleep yet.
Speaker 2: Totally get it.
Speaker 1: I was not expecting to disrupt your stories are All.
Speaker 2: I said is we got some new stuff to cover
Speaker 2: about you this time as well.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, why don't you tell us what punk vacation is. Okay,
Speaker 1: thank you for the chance to do that, and John,
Speaker 1: thank you for adday listening. That's wild. So I was
Speaker 1: talking to Adam and Zach, the co host of They
Speaker 1: Live by Film. We were talking about we had this
Speaker 1: idea to kind of branch out a little bit. I
Speaker 1: definitely want to talk about that in a minute. Definitely
Speaker 1: want to. So we were talking about things to do.
Speaker 1: We kind of wanted to branch out. There's some other
Speaker 1: announcements coming out about each what each of us is
Speaker 1: doing individually, as well as sticking with they Live by Film.
Speaker 1: And I was just digging around and I had a
Speaker 1: bunch of ideas. I all thought they were great. And
Speaker 1: then I just did a search for Vinegar Syndrome podcast
Speaker 1: and I was like, wait, what, no one's done this yet, right,
Speaker 1: So all right, I guess I'll do a Vinegar Syndrome
Speaker 1: podcast And so started thinking about what it would be.
Speaker 1: Reached out to a few different folks at Vinegar Syndrome
Speaker 1: to see if they wanted to be on episode one.
Speaker 1: Kurdish Speeler said yes, And you know, it's always nice
Speaker 1: to hear from the restoration folks. They see everything forty
Speaker 1: times so they know these movies really well. And yeah,
Speaker 1: the first episode went up and honestly, the reception was great,
Speaker 1: Like we had more listens on episode one than we
Speaker 1: have had on the last you know, four or five
Speaker 1: episodes of They Live by Film. So it was really
Speaker 1: strong right out of the gate, and we hope to
Speaker 1: just keep building on that.
Speaker 2: We will dive into more about what that is as
Speaker 2: we go over the announcement about the podcast later on tonight,
Speaker 2: but I do want to stay up up a front
Speaker 2: if you want to open two tabs or pull out
Speaker 2: your phone while you're watching this and go subscribe. The
Speaker 2: first episode's fantastic. Chris is a great person and Curtis
Speaker 2: is grat at his job, and so the combination of
Speaker 2: the two of them on this episode is just amazing.
Speaker 2: Did you see what Eric Ericus is? Ryan said, I
Speaker 2: had to start other podcast too, or else I'm.
Speaker 1: Kicked out of the networks.
Speaker 2: Chris, Well, just wait because Chris is starting like three
Speaker 2: more so we'll talk about that eventually.
Speaker 1: Actually, wait, can we if Eric is in the room,
Speaker 1: can we talk about Erica for a second?
Speaker 2: I think we should. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Everybody, obviously go buy Sweetest Taboo if you haven't already.
Speaker 1: That's the first thing. But the video essay on Chinese
Speaker 1: torture chamber story, I think it's on part two, or
Speaker 1: maybe it's just an extra that's on both of them.
Speaker 1: I don't know exactly how it is, but holy cow,
Speaker 1: it is one of the best video essays they've seen
Speaker 1: in a long time. Just Erica, well done, very very excellent,
Speaker 1: well researched, entertaining, and it's about torture, so it's interesting
Speaker 1: just by the nature of it. Like it's great.
Speaker 2: I do want to point out I feel like there
Speaker 2: are a couple people that do visual essays that have
Speaker 2: stepped up in the last few months of releases. I
Speaker 2: feel like for a while they were I don't know,
Speaker 2: a little elementary, we'll say, And I think there's been
Speaker 2: a handful of them, and I've tried to call them
Speaker 2: out when possible, but I've definitely missed some. But they are,
Speaker 2: I don't know, people are like starting to up the game,
Speaker 2: and I'm loving to see that love and see.
Speaker 1: That good Sure getting back in your good graces.
Speaker 2: Uh, well, first let's talk about some pickups, Chris. What
Speaker 2: have you been getting in lately?
Speaker 1: So I took a bit of a break this summer,
Speaker 1: and then I went full ham about it a month ago.
Speaker 1: So I've had a lot coming in in the last Uh,
Speaker 1: I guess two weeks or three weeks I've had to
Speaker 1: make some apologies to the home.
Speaker 2: So.
Speaker 1: Uh. One of the things I'm most excited to dig
Speaker 1: into is I do twice a year, I do a
Speaker 1: bunch of Third Window films ordered like a like a
Speaker 1: order a bunch of Third Window films from Terra Cotta
Speaker 1: and I got in their Directors Companies movies. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: just can't wait, Like the the commentary or no, the
Speaker 1: episode that Sam Degan did with Adam Terrell got me
Speaker 1: super pumped for those.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 1: Plus there's been just a ton of discussion online and
Speaker 1: I think one of the shows you did there was
Speaker 1: a discussion about the Director's Company series as well. It's
Speaker 1: all kind of running together because I've been on planes
Speaker 1: a lot so listening to a ton of podcasts. But
Speaker 1: it's just I can't wait. Like movies like Door and
Speaker 1: The Crazy Family or something like that. I'm so pumped
Speaker 1: for those. And then what was the other big one?
Speaker 1: I did a big order, Well, oh, the partner labels, Yeah, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1: Sam's podcast is going to be bad for my while too.
Speaker 1: I did a big order with or what I consider
Speaker 1: a big order with OCN Titles, So I got a
Speaker 1: bunch of them catching up on and trying to I
Speaker 1: caught up on Visual Vengeance as well. Now I was,
Speaker 1: I was about five behind. Caught up on them. Then
Speaker 1: obviously the Vinegar syndrome stuff. Oh then the Criterion. I
Speaker 1: waited until the last day and I was like, ah,
Speaker 1: damn it. So I wound up buying I think maybe
Speaker 1: twelve Criterion titles. Yeah, but it was a bit of
Speaker 1: an expensive six weeks.
Speaker 2: What about you, Well, I get a handful that I
Speaker 2: want to talk about, but I do want to say
Speaker 2: there is a much longer video about pickups coming over
Speaker 2: the Patreon here in the next week or so. If
Speaker 2: you want to check that out, make sure you sign
Speaker 2: up with the link of the description below. But some
Speaker 2: big ones that just landed that I cannot wait to
Speaker 2: dive into soon. Secretary from Imprint. This is a classic,
Speaker 2: And the big thing for me is all of the
Speaker 2: updated special features. Imprint has gone full bore into some
Speaker 2: releases over the last couple of months, and this is
Speaker 2: one of the big ones. And then the line that
Speaker 2: they've done that has impressed me the most, that feels
Speaker 2: like it was made for me got in the After
Speaker 2: Dark Neo Noir Cinema Collection three, and I mean I
Speaker 2: just got to say, these are all not just like
Speaker 2: erotic thrillers, but these are all just great neo noirs,
Speaker 2: mostly from the nineties, and there's something special about that
Speaker 2: period of time where it's you know, all filmed on location,
Speaker 2: all done with squibs, all done in ways that are
Speaker 2: just incredible to immerse yourself in. And all three of
Speaker 2: these box sets have been not necessarily better than the
Speaker 2: rest because they they've all been great, but they they're
Speaker 2: really nice to live in for a couple of weeks
Speaker 2: as you watch all the films and all the features.
Speaker 2: One box that I don't want to live in much,
Speaker 2: is there, Martin scor says, the Films of Faith. This
Speaker 2: is one that I only had one of the films
Speaker 2: in this box set, so this made sense to me
Speaker 2: to pick up. I understand for the people that have
Speaker 2: not because they already got the criterion. But I do
Speaker 2: want to say the booklet in this is so great.
Speaker 2: It's a really really interesting booklet, really well written and
Speaker 2: just loving it. We're probably gonna talk about this more
Speaker 2: in the next couple of weeks. But new Monto Micabro
Speaker 2: titles came in as well. Yeah, while I was in
Speaker 2: LA and then everything else we'll talk about that on
Speaker 2: the Patreon pickup show. What about some reason watches other
Speaker 2: than Vinegar Syndrome? Have you been diving into much of
Speaker 2: anything else?
Speaker 1: Oh? Yeah, I've had so all related to the podcast.
Speaker 1: I think, you know, what is probably a movie that
Speaker 1: I have to talk about for the podcast but I
Speaker 1: want to talk about I mean for the Punk Vacation podcast,
Speaker 1: but I want to talk about it anyways. Is in
Speaker 1: Trepido's Punks. Yeah, go watch that movie, y'all. That movie's fantastic.
Speaker 1: It feels like some combination of like os ploitation and
Speaker 1: like Italian genre film. It's just awesome. And like the
Speaker 1: punks in that movie, they nailed it. Like ironically, the
Speaker 1: punk's in Punk Vacation. I think that the director had
Speaker 1: never seen a punk before or met one before, maybe
Speaker 1: like read about them in a magazine or something. But yeah,
Speaker 1: in Trepido's Punk is awesome. What was one that I
Speaker 1: really loved? I was I was surprised at how much
Speaker 1: I like touch the cinematograph release. Yeah, I'm probably a
Speaker 1: little bit down on nineties movies that are not genre films,
Speaker 1: like just regular kind of.
Speaker 2: Studio nineties dramas and stuff.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but that like the dark humor, and that's awesome.
Speaker 1: It's an Elmore Leonard novel, so a lot of you know, sattire,
Speaker 1: a lot of dark humor, and skeet Alrich was awesome,
Speaker 1: which I can't really like. How many times can you
Speaker 1: say that? And then two more? I'll just call out,
Speaker 1: So is Chris out of sync for anyone else? Oh?
Speaker 1: I don't know, tell me if I am.
Speaker 2: I was literally just sending you a private chat that
Speaker 2: your sound has bounced around a little bit and your
Speaker 2: video is a bit laggy.
Speaker 1: Okay, hold on.
Speaker 2: Well you're checking that out. I'll go over a couple
Speaker 2: of mine real quick. I, you know, over the last
Speaker 2: couple of weeks being in LA and then catching up
Speaker 2: on some things that I missed. I've watched more than
Speaker 2: I expected, so I got a handful that I really
Speaker 2: want to go over. I can't really remember what I
Speaker 2: shared that I watched last week when I did that
Speaker 2: big live show with everybody at Jeremy's place, So I'll
Speaker 2: say that we all while we were in LA, we
Speaker 2: all watched Criminally Insane together. That was one of the
Speaker 2: the I think his name is Nick Millard double features
Speaker 2: that vinegar syndrome just did. And let me make sure
Speaker 2: I got that name right, yeap, Nick Millard and that one.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's fun. It's not the best film, but
Speaker 2: god is it an interesting watch. And it's wild to
Speaker 2: hear that they took like five weeks to film it
Speaker 2: because it didn't seem like it needed to be. One
Speaker 2: that I really want to shout out from this year
Speaker 2: that I don't think I brought up last week. Snackshack
Speaker 2: came out in twenty twenty four. It is the same
Speaker 2: director that did Dinner in America. Aero Video released that,
Speaker 2: oh gosh, about two years ago, and Snackschack is damn
Speaker 2: near close to as good as Dinner in America, which
Speaker 2: I thought was a masterpiece. I was stoked on it,
Speaker 2: and I really wish people would watch both of those
Speaker 2: movies more because the director really deserves to be a
Speaker 2: little more well known. I want to say, much to
Speaker 2: the chagrin of Dan Sibner in the chat, that I
Speaker 2: watched Trap from m Night Shyamalan in the theater this
Speaker 2: last weekend, and yeah, it's illogical, it's nonsensical. Nothing about
Speaker 2: the storyline works unless you're able to just give up
Speaker 2: on the fact that this is supposed to really make sense.
Speaker 2: That being said, I was entertained the entire time through.
Speaker 2: I don't know why Shyamalan works for me. I can't
Speaker 2: say much more than that It's not gonna be a
Speaker 2: masterpiece for probably anybody, but it's a solid three and
Speaker 2: a half. For me. It was. It was fun and
Speaker 2: that's what I wanted. That's exactly what I needed that night.
Speaker 2: Last thing, I've spent some extra time with shorts this week.
Speaker 2: I've watched three more shorts from Sean Baker that I
Speaker 2: had not seen and was able to find online. And
Speaker 2: then I really also went back to a film that
Speaker 2: I loved from just a couple of years ago and
Speaker 2: rewatched after Son, and after Sun is a masterpiece. I
Speaker 2: think everybody needs to watch after Son if you have not.
Speaker 2: Charlotte Well's first time director. It is depressing and sad.
Speaker 2: Works better on a rewatch even and is a really
Speaker 2: rewarding rewatch. Loved me some after Son. Carry on, Chris interesting.
Speaker 1: I have a couple questions there. What's the movie you
Speaker 1: like called Shakeshack.
Speaker 2: Snackshack.
Speaker 1: Not Shakeshack.
Speaker 2: Snackshack came out this year and it is from the director.
Speaker 2: His name is Adam Raemeyer. Okay, and it's great, Okay.
Speaker 1: I really want to see. Speaking of new directors that
Speaker 1: are kind of hitting their prime, I really want to
Speaker 1: see what's it called the shoot the New York ghost
Speaker 1: movie that you just announced today later, yep, kind of
Speaker 1: Kindness or whatever? Kinds of Kindness or whatever? What was
Speaker 1: the movie he just made with Emma Roberts.
Speaker 2: Where she goes to Emma Stone probably, although now I'm
Speaker 2: picturing with Emma Roberts.
Speaker 1: Sorry, I watched like three new movies a year. I'm
Speaker 1: not great with the modern with the kids.
Speaker 2: For some reason, I thought you watched more interesting that
Speaker 2: Poor Poor Things is the one from last year.
Speaker 1: Poor Things. Poor Things is like, I mean, like people
Speaker 1: are gonna be talking about that movie for one hundred years.
Speaker 1: That movie is amazing. So I can't wait to see
Speaker 1: kinds of Kindness with Emma Stone too.
Speaker 2: I hope, yep, I should use in it.
Speaker 1: The only ones I really want to call out so
Speaker 1: Radiance put out a Mario Bava movie called Planet of
Speaker 1: the Vampires, which y'all like, this is another one that's like,
Speaker 1: just watched that movie, like Holy Cow for a sci
Speaker 1: fi movie that's like a it's fully filmed on a
Speaker 1: studio lot, but he did something magic with with smoke
Speaker 1: and lights and like set design. It's it was breathtaking,
Speaker 1: like some of the shots in that film. I when
Speaker 1: I was writing about it, I just kept thinking about
Speaker 1: something Kirosarwa would make if he tried to make a
Speaker 1: sci fi It's just like every frame of painting kind
Speaker 1: of thing, beautiful, beautiful. Yeah, I'm glad, y'all agree. And
Speaker 1: then there's one more I had the list up before.
Speaker 1: Oh oh, the New Vinegar Syndrome archive title. I know
Speaker 1: that kind of gets buried because they have like three
Speaker 1: hundred of them. But they call me macho a woman
Speaker 1: as a must own like. That movie is unbelievable. It's
Speaker 1: so funny. Uh. The the the bad guy, like the
Speaker 1: main battie where's like, uh a little kind of like
Speaker 1: a strap on his head that has like a unicorn
Speaker 1: kind of dildo spike thing that he impales people with.
Speaker 1: It's fantastic and it's just full camp, like, oh, okay, it's wonderful.
Speaker 1: It's kind of hidden in the in there in that line.
Speaker 2: I am astounded. I gotta watch that. That sounds amazing.
Speaker 1: It's really good.
Speaker 2: It's really I also don't think I mentioned what we're
Speaker 2: gonna be covering until after the announcements tonight. Uh tonight.
Speaker 2: Chris and I and I think we've done this before,
Speaker 2: but we we tend to we tend to fall back
Speaker 2: on this because we're both just so passionate about the
Speaker 2: little guys. Essentially, we're gonna be talking about some underrepresented
Speaker 2: labels tonight, Places that people forget exist, Labels that put
Speaker 2: out such good things that more people just desperately need
Speaker 2: to hear about them. I feel really bad because you
Speaker 2: did share some of your list, And then I went
Speaker 2: and gathered all of my titles and I look down
Speaker 2: and I think all but one or two of mine
Speaker 2: are all Region B. So hopefully you're over in Europe
Speaker 2: or have a region free player.
Speaker 1: But if you don't have a region free player, by now,
Speaker 1: good one, because it opens up a whole new world.
Speaker 2: It really does anything else you want to cover before
Speaker 2: we jump into our announcements.
Speaker 1: Who was the big holdout?
Speaker 2: Was it?
Speaker 1: John? Was it Omaha? John? Who is the big holdout?
Speaker 1: On Region B?
Speaker 2: John is a holdout? And then all that is man
Speaker 2: is a holdout too?
Speaker 1: John? You gotta do it man.
Speaker 2: Speaking of when do we get the hush announcement that
Speaker 2: should be coming up soon, No, I don't have anything else,
Speaker 2: all right, One thing I will say before we get
Speaker 2: into this, Like I mentioned, there's a huge glut of
Speaker 2: disco tech titles. We're not going to rush through those necessarily,
Speaker 2: but I'm not gonna take my time because Chris and
Speaker 2: I are both not anime fanatics and don't have a
Speaker 2: ton of knowledge, so we're mostly here to help educate
Speaker 2: people on those coming out. There are a couple of those, though,
Speaker 2: that I really want to highlight and really make sure
Speaker 2: that people understand are coming because they're very exciting. So
Speaker 2: we will we'll spend a little bit of time on them,
Speaker 2: but we get to get started in a really neat
Speaker 2: place because our first title this week Zodiac on four K.
Speaker 2: And this movie is great. This is this is like
Speaker 2: top ten of all time for me. I adore this movie. Yeah,
Speaker 2: this is this is a big deal movie for me.
Speaker 2: This is coming on four K on October twenty ninth.
Speaker 2: And what's odd, this was filmed mostly in ten ADP
Speaker 2: and so I'm not sure the process for some of these.
Speaker 2: They absolutely can export to film, make a brand new
Speaker 2: print of it, and then upload that. Now, at this point,
Speaker 2: we don't know any details, so we'll find out later.
Speaker 2: But even if they didn't do that, the HDR from
Speaker 2: this probably would love pretty incredible. So we shall see.
Speaker 2: Zepam is asking is Zodiac four k us only that's
Speaker 2: the only one that's confirmed so far, although Paramount has
Speaker 2: been doing great to do European releases at the same time,
Speaker 2: So we shall see. And this one, Like I said
Speaker 2: October twenty ninth, four k I don't think we're getting
Speaker 2: any new extras on this, but I adore this movie.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna out out Erica here, and I
Speaker 1: hope you don't mind, Erica, But when it comes to
Speaker 1: popular releases, I think you and I tend to have
Speaker 1: similar taste. I need to know your opinion of Zodiac
Speaker 1: because I've never seen this because I have had low interest.
Speaker 1: But if Ryan's saying it's the top ten and you
Speaker 1: say you like it, then I'll add this to my
Speaker 1: watch list.
Speaker 2: It's a methodical serial killer thriller done in a way
Speaker 2: that's I don't know, it's so well made, like it's
Speaker 2: so great. Okay, Erica even says I really like them, so,
Speaker 2: not that I.
Speaker 1: Don't trust you, Ryan, but six episodes in the film Foundation,
Speaker 1: I realize our taste deviates slightly on some things.
Speaker 2: I'm not shocked.
Speaker 1: Okay, Zodiac's on my watch list then.
Speaker 2: Hell yeah, I can't wait to hear what you think next.
Speaker 2: One another masterpiece of my opinion, Adam's Family Values, coming
Speaker 2: on four K from Paramounts on October twenty ninth, as well.
Speaker 2: Not seeing any new features coming on this, however, I
Speaker 2: think this is even better than the original. This movie
Speaker 2: is hilarious. This movie is silly. It looks great. I
Speaker 2: can't wait to see this in four K. The HGR
Speaker 2: is gonna look stupendous.
Speaker 1: Who is the director here? I think they really nailed
Speaker 1: the tone on this.
Speaker 2: They really did.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, no, I like this one a lot. It's interesting.
Speaker 1: It's Paramount's so confusing to me right now, because it's
Speaker 1: like there, I don't know, they're holding on in a
Speaker 1: way that's excited, but I don't know. They're also not
Speaker 1: fully committing to physical media, so I don't know. They're
Speaker 1: in a confusing place for me right now. Oh very sonefeld.
Speaker 1: Oh heck, yeah, it's a good yeah, good comedian director.
Speaker 2: On top of the whole paramount, you know, not seemingly
Speaker 2: being fully dedicated. On top of all that, they're still
Speaker 2: very hit or miss on four K for every I
Speaker 2: don't know. Two titles that look stupendous on four K.
Speaker 2: One of them looks awful. One of them looks like
Speaker 2: it was transferred by somebody that has never seen the
Speaker 2: movie ever, and they just spit out whatever the scanner got,
Speaker 2: and I don't get it. I really wish they'd put
Speaker 2: more time into some of them. But I imagine these two,
Speaker 2: because of the titles, are probably gonna get a little
Speaker 2: more attention.
Speaker 1: No, sure, sure, I'll probably buy it. I don't have
Speaker 1: a lot of Paramount films, but I'll probably buy this one.
Speaker 2: Uh, Sibnar wants to know, can't tell, but it's paramount
Speaker 2: using the Paramount Scares logo on top of the slip spine.
Speaker 2: They absolutely are. They have not been doing that for tons,
Speaker 2: but it looks like they're treating that as a very
Speaker 2: specific line and not just those two box sets that
Speaker 2: they've got announced. Well, one announced, one released last year.
Speaker 2: That was a weird way to say that. Next up,
Speaker 2: our first keynote, title of the week is The Ballad
Speaker 2: of Josie from nineteen sixty seven. This one is coming soon.
Speaker 2: The big deal here is it is a Technicolor film,
Speaker 2: so it should look gorgeous, but also stars Doris Day
Speaker 2: and Peter Graves and George Kennedy, pretty massive cast. Have
Speaker 2: never seen this.
Speaker 1: One, no, I'm just looking it up. I get into
Speaker 1: a little bit of trouble for my take on westerns.
Speaker 1: I love spaghetti westerns, but just regular westerns. Not a
Speaker 1: huge fan, so I know that's not a popular take.
Speaker 1: But a frontier widow amster rays sheep despite a cattle
Speaker 1: rancher in Old Wyoming.
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, see, I'm the same as you. I love
Speaker 2: me some spaghetti Westerns and I just got invited somebody
Speaker 2: from our discord actually, speaking of the Patreon earlier. If
Speaker 2: you are into conversations on all the stuff joined the Patreon,
Speaker 2: joined the discord, you'll love it. But one of our
Speaker 2: discord members is starting a podcast about westerns and invited
Speaker 2: me on and I went, just so you know, I've
Speaker 2: got some takes on westerns. But that'll be fun. We'll
Speaker 2: be talking about that more in the near future, I'm sure.
Speaker 2: Next one from them. This one excites me. Viced from
Speaker 2: nineteen eighty two getting a four K released from Keno Eventually,
Speaker 2: who knows when, brand new HDR Dolby Vision Master, so
Speaker 2: it won't be one of those Studio Canal SDR releases
Speaker 2: that they're doing. This one, of course, starring the man Wingshauser,
Speaker 2: directed by Gary Sherman, This movie's fantastic love.
Speaker 1: Wings Hauser was the guy in Champagne and Bullets right famously.
Speaker 2: I believe, so yeah, yeah, I.
Speaker 1: Mean I don't think that's what.
Speaker 2: He's famous, but I'm definitely not famous for that.
Speaker 1: In my house, that's what he's famous for. Yeah, this
Speaker 1: movie is awesome. An unlikely Hollywood hooker helps the detective
Speaker 1: set a chop for a mutilator pimp.
Speaker 2: So yeah, this movie sleezy, it's gross, it's fun, it's
Speaker 2: entertaining through and through. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Also, look at the look at the poster art on
Speaker 1: from Letterbox. It makes it look awesome.
Speaker 2: What is it letterbox? Let me see? I love all
Speaker 2: the alternative Oh that's the screen factory cover art.
Speaker 1: Okay, wait ZPAM, is that true? This was an inspiration
Speaker 1: for Maxine?
Speaker 2: Or is that a joke? No? It definitely was Oh heck, yeah,
Speaker 2: that's awesome. Yeah, this is one of those sleazy eighties
Speaker 2: films that Ty West definitely referred to.
Speaker 1: The Unicorn movie is called They Call Me Macho Woman.
Speaker 1: Got It's so good. It's a vinegar syndrome archive title.
Speaker 2: Oh man, some great comments there. Next up, speaking to Paramounts,
Speaker 2: they are releasing on October twenty ninth, South Park Not
Speaker 2: Suitable for Children. This is another one of their TV
Speaker 2: specials that they've been doing for Paramount Plus. Thankfully they
Speaker 2: are all coming out on physical media for people that
Speaker 2: still love South Park. I have not seen this. I
Speaker 2: don't think I've watched a south Park episode or anything
Speaker 2: in a very very long time.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think the last thing I saw from
Speaker 1: them probably something around COVID, Probably something around like their
Speaker 1: take on COVID. But yeah, their style of humor, it
Speaker 1: plays well to a certain age group, and I'm right
Speaker 1: in that age group. I have what's the theme on
Speaker 1: this one? I was reading up about this. It looks
Speaker 1: it looks.
Speaker 2: Interesting, says after it's discovered that a teacher at south
Speaker 2: Park Elementary has an only fans pace Compelled to take
Speaker 2: a closer look at the CD underbelly of the world
Speaker 2: of online influencers.
Speaker 1: That's what it was. Yeah, they're taking only fans, feels right.
Speaker 2: Uh similar surprise paramounts letting us go to physical. They've
Speaker 2: done the last two or three, so I mean they've
Speaker 2: they've got kind of a pattern for it. Uh, dude,
Speaker 2: says Gary Sherman is an underrated director. Hope Lisa and
Speaker 2: Poulter guyst three get reissues in four K someday soon.
Speaker 2: Poultry Guys three will definitely get one from Screen Factory.
Speaker 1: I bet Wait, isn't he Wait, I'm just sorry. Isn't
Speaker 1: he the guy that did Dead and Buried? Gary Sherman?
Speaker 2: I believe so.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh no way.

Speaker 1: Huh yeah, way to go, Gary, sm Uh all right.
Speaker 2: That is south Park. Next coming soon from BBC The
Speaker 2: Doctor Who sixtieth Anniversary specials. Again. I'm not a Doctor fan,
Speaker 2: but uh yeah, I'm glad this is coming out for everybody.
Speaker 2: This is getting a release in the UK and in
Speaker 2: the US, and yeah, more to pick up for fans
Speaker 2: of the Doctor. Stan.
Speaker 1: I just had a deathline to my watch list based
Speaker 1: on your recommendation. Is there a good starting place for
Speaker 1: Doctor who I feel very intimidated. There's like different doctors
Speaker 1: and different timelines and universes, and.
Speaker 2: From what I hear, if you are a fan of
Speaker 2: any of the actors that have played the Doctor, start
Speaker 2: with their first episode and watch their run and see
Speaker 2: if that is enough to entice you, and then from
Speaker 2: there go and seek out everything else, because you might
Speaker 2: fall in love or you might find out that you
Speaker 2: absolutely hate the rest of them.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they had, Yeah, they had one guy that was good.
Speaker 1: Stan saws, okay, all right.
Speaker 2: Peter Capaldi was one recently, Matt Smith was one recently.
Speaker 2: David Tennant was one recently.
Speaker 1: The Tenant is the one I was thinking of. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: but okay.
Speaker 2: Paul says, start at two thousand and five. Eric says,
Speaker 2: the fourth Doctor is a good place to start for
Speaker 2: most people.
Speaker 1: Y'all two fight it out and tell me who wins.
Speaker 2: No, all right, I'll see Resident Alien season three is
Speaker 2: coming out on Blu Ray on August twenty seventh from Universal.
Speaker 2: I had no idea this was still on. I've heard
Speaker 2: this is rather good, but yeah, Alan Tudic and he's
Speaker 2: always pretty great.
Speaker 1: Oh the actor he didn't create this he accident.
Speaker 2: He acts correct, Oh yeah, never seen it in print.
Speaker 2: Is continuing to give us some overwhelmingly great TV releases.
Speaker 2: We got two announcements this time. Both are coming out
Speaker 2: on October thirtieth. The first one is The Baron the
Speaker 2: feature Films, and this is from nineteen sixty six and
Speaker 2: ITC transformed four of their episodes into two feature length
Speaker 2: film versions of them, so they do have a little
Speaker 2: bit of an extended version for each of these. And
Speaker 2: they also are throwing in Sue Lloyd at ITC as
Speaker 2: a bonus on here. But as usual, this is just
Speaker 2: a monumental piece for bonus features. If you are into
Speaker 2: these shows, if you are into anything surrounding the Baron
Speaker 2: or the actors, it is crazy how much they fit
Speaker 2: on these so they're worth every penny if you're a
Speaker 2: big fan. They're great sets. Okay. The other one they announced,
Speaker 2: I'm super excited about this one is called TV Movie
Speaker 2: of the Week Collection one, which means hopefully they're planning
Speaker 2: a election. Two. This is three TV movies combined into
Speaker 2: one hard box set from them, limited to fifteen hundred copies,
Speaker 2: and two of them first time on Blu Ray. Ever,
Speaker 2: we've Got The Deadly Dream from nineteen seventy one and
Speaker 2: Baffled from nineteen seventy two, and then the third film
Speaker 2: is Screen Pretty Peggy, which was also released by Keeno Lorber.
Speaker 2: All of these have brand new special features and it
Speaker 2: is a great looking set. I really love the style
Speaker 2: they went for to just sign the outer box on this.
Speaker 2: It's just super nostalgic of that era. Yeah, this looks
Speaker 2: like an amazing set.
Speaker 1: Are eighties TV's Ladies any other commentaries or anything.
Speaker 2: Not on this one. I don't think they've been invited
Speaker 2: to do any. Amanda rez of course, who is kind
Speaker 2: of locked down the TV movie thing. She is featured
Speaker 2: in this box set though.
Speaker 1: Okay, that was a great episode. That's the one you
Speaker 1: had on, right, was Amanda Reas well?
Speaker 2: Amanda areas is She's been on Disconnected and then we
Speaker 2: also have eighty TV Ladies Share and has been on
Speaker 2: Film Foundations.
Speaker 1: No, sorry, I remember the Amanda ray As one though.
Speaker 1: That was a great episode. Yeah, yeah, that was a
Speaker 1: really good episode.
Speaker 2: Amana has been everywhere she is somehow just I don't know.
Speaker 2: She has so many commentaries over the last couple of years.
Speaker 1: No, she's great, but also eighties TV's ladies. I mean,
Speaker 1: I guess we're seeing their name a lot, but they're
Speaker 1: just like they're just encyclopedias. That was stunned, Like they
Speaker 1: really know what they're doing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they've got I don't know, it's encyclopedic knowledge over
Speaker 2: some of these things. And they're the perfect ones to
Speaker 2: get for releases like this.
Speaker 1: Wait, Eric, I'm just reading your comment. You don't have
Speaker 1: the Prisoner. The only one you don't have is the
Speaker 1: first Hammer. Okay, good. I was gonna say, please get
Speaker 1: the Prisoner if you don't have it. I just got
Speaker 1: that in Oh, that was a pickup I got. I
Speaker 1: just got that. And that's my favorite TV show probably
Speaker 1: of all time. Whoa, I don't watch a lot of TV,
Speaker 1: but that makes sense. I love The Prisoner. It's so good,
Speaker 1: all right.
Speaker 2: Next one, House of the Dragon season two, that just
Speaker 2: wrapped up on HBO is getting a four K steel
Speaker 2: book release. This is the steel book art and a standard.
Speaker 2: These are both coming on November nineteenth. This will also
Speaker 2: get a Blu ray release and I believe a DVD.
Speaker 2: But uh yeah, I've not watched this. I will probably
Speaker 2: wait for it to be over. I just do not
Speaker 2: watch Game of Thrones though either. I'll probably binge both
Speaker 2: of them when this is over.
Speaker 1: I did, I did jump on the Game of Thrones train.
Speaker 1: The amount that it drops off after George our Martins
Speaker 1: stopped writing is insane. It just became a totally different show,
Speaker 1: and not for the better. I don't think he wrote
Speaker 1: any of these, right, This is just a bunch of people.
Speaker 2: Correct.
Speaker 1: Yeah, not interested?
Speaker 2: You don't like George our Our Tolkien Martin lists TV.
Speaker 1: I guess not. I've never read the novels, but they
Speaker 1: seem intimidating. They're all like ten thousand pages. But that
Speaker 1: the TV show was phenomenal for the first few.
Speaker 2: Seasons well, and people seem to love this this year.
Speaker 2: But also Game of Thrones fell off a cliff, so
Speaker 2: I totally get it. Next, another one that I didn't
Speaker 2: know was still on August twentieth, Universal is releasing Librea
Speaker 2: on Blu Ray. This is the third season of Librea,
Speaker 2: and this one's especially surprising to me because I don't
Speaker 2: recognize any of the names in this.
Speaker 1: Another show I've never heard of. I'm sorry, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: be really useless on TV. What does Lebraa translate to
Speaker 1: in here? I'll do it.
Speaker 2: It translates to the brea, the brea that was such
Speaker 2: a stupid joke.
Speaker 1: Oh, how does that even play into teeth?
Speaker 2: All right? All right, well, I imagine it's referencing the
Speaker 2: Librea tar pits in La where they found fossils in tar.
Speaker 1: They go someone that knows history.
Speaker 2: Oh, Ronnie says this was the final season of Librea.
Speaker 2: That makes sense. Okay, so it's not going on and
Speaker 2: on next one, Unearthed Films we talked about this. Oh gosh,
Speaker 2: over a year ago now, I think when Stephen from
Speaker 2: Unearthed Films was on the channel. That's when we first
Speaker 2: found out that they were getting Evil Ako. However, we
Speaker 2: just found out a release date and that it's gonna
Speaker 2: be a four K, So December tenth, we're getting a
Speaker 2: four K and Blu ray release of Evil Anko starring
Speaker 2: Malcolm mcdell. And everything I've heard about this one is
Speaker 2: that it's amazing. This is from two thousand and three.
Speaker 2: It's a little bit of a later Malcolm McDowell. I
Speaker 2: am oh man, Chris, that was funny. I'm very interested
Speaker 2: to see what this film is all about. And the
Speaker 2: synopsis on this one says in nineteen Kiev, a disgraced
Speaker 2: communist school teacher becomes a brutal, unfeeling serial killer based
Speaker 2: on the crimes of Andre Chikatillo. Definitely interested in this unearthed.
Speaker 2: I don't know. I feel like Unearth is kind of
Speaker 2: stepping up their game a little bit. They're getting kind
Speaker 2: of bigger titles. They're they're making a bigger impression with
Speaker 2: some of their stuff.
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is I remember when this came out, Actually
Speaker 1: it was in the theater, the festival circuit. I think
Speaker 1: it did pretty well. Like I think this was a
Speaker 1: pretty well received movie.
Speaker 2: Simner says. August Underground Extended Set, we got an update.
Speaker 2: Stephen had said it would be at least a year
Speaker 2: after all three sets came out, and I believe the
Speaker 2: third one came out in December of last year, so
Speaker 2: it'll probably be I don't know, at least another six
Speaker 2: months until we see that critical support to Evil Anko Nice. Nice.
Speaker 2: Next up is our Disco Tech. We've got a lot
Speaker 2: of to cover here. First is Space Sheriff Shader from
Speaker 2: nineteen eighty four, remastered in HD with brand new subtitles.
Speaker 2: They've got some extras on here. As we're going through these, Chris,
Speaker 2: stop me if you've heard of it or have anything
Speaker 2: to say.
Speaker 1: I'm a big Black Lives Matter fan, so I'm not
Speaker 1: gonna be watching anything with Space Shriffs, just on principle.
Speaker 2: All right, all right, totally get it. Thanks for your support.
Speaker 2: I will let it go. Next one is Captain Harlock
Speaker 2: Space Pirate. This is from nineteen seventy eight to all
Speaker 2: forty two episodes, upscale to ten ADP, the same upscale
Speaker 2: that was released in Japan. We got English subtitles on this.
Speaker 2: This is coming in September. Next one is I Believe
Speaker 2: pronounced Da Los or Dallos. This is from nineteen eighty
Speaker 2: three and eighty four. There's a brand new HD transfer
Speaker 2: looks great. Supposedly it's gonna have English subs coming in September.
Speaker 2: And then next is Giant Gorg from nineteen eighty four.
Speaker 2: Brand new hdbremaster from the original films on this all
Speaker 2: twenty six episodes on the Blu Ray. This is gonna
Speaker 2: be coming later this year, not in September, but pretty soon.
Speaker 1: Many goreg was a favorite of mine, so I'm excited
Speaker 1: to finally get to see Giant Coig.
Speaker 2: The upgraded version. Next is Space Musketeer Bismarck from nineteen
Speaker 2: eighty four in HD for a Blu Ray release with
Speaker 2: all fifty one episodes with English subs coming soon. Next,
Speaker 2: a Common Writer V three release from nineteen seventy three,
Speaker 2: all fifty two episodes in HD with English subs. All
Speaker 2: kinds of extras coming on this one, and this will
Speaker 2: be released before the end of the year. Actually, Bob
Speaker 2: Rodney's comment.
Speaker 1: I know, I know, I'm cracking up on some of
Speaker 1: the comments. Disco tech equals p break is pretty funny too,
Speaker 1: but all space shafs and bastards had me cracking up.
Speaker 1: Isn't Common Writer like a Higher Arrangers type thing where
Speaker 1: they like use live footage and mix it with like
Speaker 1: weird puppets and stuff. I can't remember.
Speaker 2: I believe it's called Tokusatsu. Okay, I believe it is,
Speaker 2: or at least one or two of the because Common
Speaker 2: Writer has had a whole bunch of shit done for it.
Speaker 2: There's been multiple degrees films and everything. Uh so, yeah,
Speaker 2: I think at least some of them are. Uh where's
Speaker 2: the Night Common Writer series? I think that is also
Speaker 2: coming soon. I'm not sure who has it though, all Right,
Speaker 2: Next up is uh Chi the Brat the second series.
Speaker 2: This one's gonna be thirty nine episodes on SD Blu
Speaker 2: Ray in Japanese with English subs. They've got some extras
Speaker 2: on this coming later this year. Now, I got a
Speaker 2: bunch of questions because Disco Tech does this a lot.
Speaker 2: They'll release SD episodes of TV shows on Blu Ray,
Speaker 2: and somebody asked why. There's a hand full of reasons. One,
Speaker 2: usually the previous release was out of print, so if
Speaker 2: they can get in print, that's a good thing. Two,
Speaker 2: Blu Ray is more scratch resistant than DVDs, so it's
Speaker 2: safer for you to have it on home video. Three,
Speaker 2: you can fit more on a disc. So technically, if
Speaker 2: this whole series would have been I don't know, five
Speaker 2: discs on DVD, it's possible it could be sometimes only one,
Speaker 2: maybe two discs on Blu Ray. And if that's the case,
Speaker 2: it's actually cheaper to produce, so they could put this
Speaker 2: out and it could be cheaper than a DVD set.
Speaker 2: So yeah, there's there's lots of reasons. But the biggest thing,
Speaker 2: most of these that they're putting out and have been
Speaker 2: out of print, and there's no reason not to get
Speaker 2: them back in print. Eric, Any live action special effects
Speaker 2: shows or movies are referred to as tokusatsu by the Japanese,
Speaker 2: so I guess I kind of messed that up.
Speaker 1: Thank you, Eric. This picture gives me a headache. I
Speaker 1: can't imagine watching this.
Speaker 2: I get that. I'm glad it says artwork not final,
Speaker 2: because I would not want to look at that like
Speaker 2: that either.
Speaker 1: But just the energy that in that image makes me
Speaker 1: this is a version of hell for me. Watching Chi
Speaker 1: the Bratt second TV series, this is actually like a
Speaker 1: torture device for me.
Speaker 2: I get that. Reggie wants to know shire most series
Speaker 2: released on DVD now. I believe the answer to that
Speaker 2: is because most of them simply don't have proper HD
Speaker 2: masters sadly, and at SD is the best they can do.
Speaker 2: They should just put SD on Blu Ray, but I
Speaker 2: don't think that's done by most companies. Disco Tech is
Speaker 2: really the only one that does it quite often. All right,
Speaker 2: Next one gto Great Teacher onie Zuka. This is from
Speaker 2: ninety nine and two thousand, coming on Blu Ray in September.
Speaker 2: All forty three episodes in SD on Blu Ray in
Speaker 2: Japanese with English subs. They've got some bonus features on
Speaker 2: this as well, so it's not just bare bones Loop
Speaker 2: in the third Italian game, which is almost all of
Speaker 2: the Loop and the third stuff that they have put
Speaker 2: out finally coming to Blu Ray. This is coming in September.
Speaker 2: They are gonna have some extras.
Speaker 1: And yeah, I've heard of this one.
Speaker 2: Yeah, this one has like it's kind of the same
Speaker 2: as common Writer. This one's been everywhere.
Speaker 1: Okay, that makes sense.
Speaker 2: Next one is Magical Girl Lyrical Nan No Huss Strikers.
Speaker 2: That's a mouthful of a title. All twenty six episodes
Speaker 2: on Blu Ray. First ever home video release in North America.
Speaker 2: This lab English subs with the Japanese audio, with some
Speaker 2: extras coming later this year.
Speaker 1: Just a fair warning buying this put you on a
Speaker 1: watch list immediately. Yes we can tell Young Day look whatever.
Speaker 1: I won't get into my anime tic, but yeah, this
Speaker 1: is a These are not interesting so far.
Speaker 2: I love Winner's joke that can't believe we're getting gto
Speaker 2: before GTA six. Next title is Professor Layton and the
Speaker 2: Eternal Diva. This is coming soon on Blu Ray Native
Speaker 2: HD for the first time on Blu Ray North America
Speaker 2: in Japanese with English subs and also dubbed in English,
Speaker 2: featuring the cast of the games. Next is Kite Integral Version,
Speaker 2: coming in September on Blu Ray. This is based on
Speaker 2: earlier Media Blasters restorations that they had released, but these
Speaker 2: are improved. There was missing shots that have now been restored,
Speaker 2: Framing mistakes were fixed, original titles have been rendered again.
Speaker 2: A thorough restoration. Here we go of the adult's only
Speaker 2: uncut version and the US General release version, as well
Speaker 2: as an international cut never before released in the US.
Speaker 2: Three versions all on one disc. All bonus features will
Speaker 2: be here as well, plus an all new.
Speaker 1: Doc Sidney, Yeah, this sounds like it, he said this
Speaker 1: look get.
Speaker 2: Your so so much. Next one Humanoid Monster Bement from
Speaker 2: two thousand and six is coming later this year. All
Speaker 2: twenty six episodes in Japanese with English subs, extra some
Speaker 2: nifty TV ads all right. Next is Groje Groasier X
Speaker 2: from nineteen seventy six and seventy seven. I love the
Speaker 2: way they wrote this copy from NAC Productions. Astro ganger
Speaker 2: charge man can Yeah, that's right, those guys. I don't
Speaker 2: know Bang, I'm not in on the end joke on
Speaker 2: that one, not to be confused.
Speaker 1: With Astro Gangbang, which will also get you on a
Speaker 1: watch list.
Speaker 2: Oh man, that yes, all thirty six episodes on st
Speaker 2: Blu Ray in Japanese with English subs. Next is Party seven. Uh.
Speaker 2: This one's live.
Speaker 1: Action sable anime body.
Speaker 2: This one is directed by Katsuhito Ishi and this is
Speaker 2: from two thousand. This we'll have alternate ending director, interview,
Speaker 2: making of storyboards, and all kinds of extra stuff. I
Speaker 2: believe this is coming as part of the Neon Nights
Speaker 2: line that Discotheque has done. Uh so, yeah, that's a
Speaker 2: good thing. This is probably really good. Actually. Next one
Speaker 2: is Dolroro from two thousand and seven. This one is
Speaker 2: gonna be for the first time on Blu Ray North America,
Speaker 2: with some extras coming soon. Uh this one sounds great.
Speaker 2: Robo Geisha from two thousand and nine. This one is
Speaker 2: from the team behind Machine Girl and Tokyo Gore Police.
Speaker 2: That'll be something that gets people excited in Japanese with
Speaker 2: English subs as well as the Fundamation dubbed version. And
Speaker 2: uh yeah.
Speaker 1: This is the best one on here so far. Wait,
Speaker 1: what is Tokyo Tokyo Gored police. There's a connection we
Speaker 1: have to that is that director. It's not an animated film, right.
Speaker 2: No, it is a very bloody yeah yeah Mura.
Speaker 1: Yeah, what's the Sorry this is not captivating TV. But
Speaker 1: there's one that he did that, oh, Anatomya Extinction. Yeah,

Speaker 1: So yeah, this guy rules.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Next one is Electric Dragon eighty thousand volts. This
Speaker 2: was released from Third Window in the UK, so coming
Speaker 2: in the US on Blu Ray. They say this will
Speaker 2: be a kitchen sink disc. Tons of stuff on here, interview,
Speaker 2: stage greetings, concept art and more. And yeah, this one's
Speaker 2: supposed to be great. Did you watch this one from
Speaker 2: Third Window?
Speaker 1: Uh? No, I saw this like the year it came
Speaker 1: out or something. I saw this. Oh wow, yeah, this
Speaker 1: one came It was like a let me make sure
Speaker 1: that I'm not thinking of the wrong one. This is
Speaker 1: like a two thousand and two thousand and one.
Speaker 2: Is type one.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, no, I saw this. I think in theaters
Speaker 1: even this movie is great, super.
Speaker 2: Fun, amazing. That's fantastic. Silent Mandible just got a region
Speaker 2: B of that. Nice. Next one is Keiko Common the
Speaker 2: Trilogy or Kicko Common the Trilogy. This one says, do

Speaker 2: all forty three episodes in HD in Japanese with English subs.
Speaker 2: They've got some extras on here, and this is coming

Speaker 2: Next one, this one's coming soon. Special Rescue Police Win
Speaker 2: Spector from nineteen ninety nineteen ninety one, all forty nine
Speaker 2: episodes on SD blu Ray in Japanese with English subs.
Speaker 2: But maybe the biggest news MXC most Extreme Elimination Challenge.
Speaker 2: The series is coming on SD blu ray. Volume one
Speaker 2: will be coming this year, comprising the first three seasons.
Speaker 2: Volume two will follow later. They will have extras that
Speaker 2: will be determined later. There are I believe they announced

Speaker 1: on as like a bonus feature or something. Yeah, but

Speaker 1: know if it's five hundred bucks. I don't care. Like

Speaker 2: commentary by Adrian Martin on this. There's a whole lot
Speaker 2: of archival extras on this. We've got a double sided
Speaker 2: poster set of four postcards, updated and improved English subs,
Speaker 2: and some other extras coming as well. Chris, how do
Speaker 2: you feel about seven Samurai.
Speaker 1: This is one of those Evil Dead type titles where
Speaker 1: I'm tempted on every version of it that comes out.
Speaker 1: I can yeah, I just I don't know. I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't even care that it's cliche. Yeah, No, keV,
Speaker 1: don't don't go into this without seeing the first six.
Speaker 1: It'll be very confusing.
Speaker 2: I mean, they get a little derivative around for Samurai,
Speaker 2: but seven Samurai is pretty.
Speaker 1: Good, and it starts off with one. Honestly, it's a
Speaker 1: little boring.
Speaker 2: But I get it. I will say, of course, we've
Speaker 2: gotten lots of questions this week on is there a
Speaker 2: US version coming? Undoubtedly, Criterion is releasing this on UHD eventually,
Speaker 2: when that could be November this year, it could be
Speaker 2: November of twenty twenty nine. However, I would be willing
Speaker 2: to bet half of my collection that Criterion is going
Speaker 2: to release seven Samurai and four K in the US.
Speaker 1: How many Criterion movies in your collection.
Speaker 2: Probably two hundred and twenty five ish something.
Speaker 1: How much to take that bet, just to take just
Speaker 1: on the chance they don't. That's a good bet.
Speaker 2: It's an easy bet. Yeah.
Speaker 1: The third Samurai is the one without a Samurai. It's
Speaker 1: it's everybody's it's a cult favorite.
Speaker 2: I just love to seeing American History acts. Need to
Speaker 2: see the first nine. Oh got him crying. That was
Speaker 2: really good.
Speaker 1: That's good. I have PTSD because we just had to
Speaker 1: watch all of the Fast and Furious movies for the
Speaker 1: podcast for the other By the time we got to
Speaker 1: Fast X, I was like, I was very much over
Speaker 1: that series.
Speaker 2: Stan.
Speaker 1: I've been thinking. I've been going back and forth on
Speaker 1: this point ever since, ever since I saw it. It's
Speaker 1: pretty it's pretty on point with like the emotions of
Speaker 1: the movie. But for me, like I just can't like
Speaker 1: that that classic image of like the six dots and
Speaker 1: the triangle at the bottom, I just I don't know, Like,
Speaker 1: for me, that's the movie. I mean, I'm not trying
Speaker 1: to argue with you, this is a great image, but
Speaker 1: I was just processing. I was thinking about this a
Speaker 1: couple of days ago when I saw this.
Speaker 2: All right, moving right along Wow From seven Samurai to
Speaker 2: Tinto Brass. October twenty second, Cult Epix is releasing a
Speaker 2: four K and blu ray release of Cheeky from two thousand.
Speaker 2: On this you have two options for sight exclusive slip
Speaker 2: covers that are supposedly selling pretty well. You've got the
Speaker 2: pink and then you've got the blue that is not
Speaker 2: censored and is just pure. But as you come to
Speaker 2: expect from a tinto ass sorry tinto brass title, on this,
Speaker 2: we're gonna have a new audio commentary by Eugenie or
Speaker 2: Kilani and Nathaniel Thompson. You've got a bunch of interviews,
Speaker 2: You've got a bunch of archival information. This is gonna
Speaker 2: be a solid, solid release if you on the Cult
Speaker 2: Epics site, which is not a great website by the way,
Speaker 2: we can talk about that for sure, but if you
Speaker 2: go on there you can get this exclusive release they're
Speaker 2: doing with postcards and everything. I just want to say,
Speaker 2: Cold Epics needs to get their stuff together. If you
Speaker 2: go on their site and you click on a title,
Speaker 2: it takes you to a PayPal checkout screen. There's no
Speaker 2: give me more information, there's no shopping cart function click buy.
Speaker 2: That's it. That's crazy.
Speaker 1: Hmm.
Speaker 2: I don't know that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's I mean, Shopify is expensive. But there has
Speaker 1: to be a middle ground, right since one this is
Speaker 1: the guy you know, there actually is a motif between
Speaker 1: seven Samurai and Cheeky. There's a ton of male Japanese
Speaker 1: Ass and seven Samurai.
Speaker 2: Ain't that the truth?
Speaker 1: So it's not that much of a stretch. Actually, until
Speaker 1: Brass could have made seven Samurai.
Speaker 2: While discussing this, I said, do we need to use
Speaker 2: the word stretch while discussing this? Oh man, all right,
Speaker 2: going to the next one. Speaking of you just brought amazing.
Speaker 2: September tenth, Mill Creek is releasing icons Unearthed, Fast and Furious. Uh,
Speaker 2: this is supposedly a really great documentary series. Do I
Speaker 2: miss a comment?
Speaker 1: No, no, no, I was just I was just being
Speaker 1: sarcastic to your comment. I'm so I have so much
Speaker 1: PTSD or on anything related to.
Speaker 2: The I'll pick you up a copy of this. This
Speaker 2: one they were able to get tyresee t I and
Speaker 2: Lucas blackback on to discuss the series. Not everybody is involved.
Speaker 2: But yeah, it's supposed to be pretty good documentary series.
Speaker 2: I imagine webably have two or three more of these coming. Wait,
Speaker 2: they've already done The Simpsons and a handful of others.
Speaker 2: I don't I don't think there are two B level docs,
Speaker 2: but I don't know. Maybe they are.
Speaker 1: Hold on, they got okay, Tyres makes sense.
Speaker 2: T I isn't he only in one of them.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and Yona who Lucas Black is. He's the dude
Speaker 1: from Tokyo Drift who makes like a brief appearance in
Speaker 1: maybe like nine eight nine, But like that's who they got.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And it's over five hours of interviews from those
Speaker 2: that's what they list. And it's the sixth part documentary.
Speaker 2: I don't know. That's a lot. Next up, Ultraman Blazer
Speaker 2: series and movie from twenty twenty three and twenty four
Speaker 2: is coming from Mill Creek on October twenty ninth. You
Speaker 2: can pre order this now. The Ultraman stuff has been
Speaker 2: very well taken care by Milk Creek. I bet this
Speaker 2: is gonna look great. This is one of those things
Speaker 2: that mill Creek gets access to really high level scans
Speaker 2: and everything for. They did the same with the Andy
Speaker 2: Sedaris titles everything else that's not great sure that Milk
Speaker 2: Creek puts out. But I hope this looks pretty good.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know Ultraman has a lot of fans.
Speaker 2: This is a top notch joke signer. They interviewed TI
Speaker 2: a lot for this. This segment is called t m I.
Speaker 2: That's very funny. Let's see what is next long Legs
Speaker 2: is coming to a four K steel Book near you
Speaker 2: if you're in the UK from black Bear. This is
Speaker 2: a distributor in the UK, and we don't know about
Speaker 2: extras yet. You can get this on Amazon UK. You
Speaker 2: can get it from AHMV Diabolic in Orbit still had
Speaker 2: some left today, but Diabolic has warned a couple of
Speaker 2: times that they've sold out of their fulfillment and somehow
Speaker 2: they were able to get a little bit more. So
Speaker 2: hopefully if you're after this, you get it now. I've
Speaker 2: had some people ask this week is this going to
Speaker 2: be coming to Steelbook in the US, And I have
Speaker 2: to say, if I'm a betting man, I would say
Speaker 2: this is a no. Neon has not done any steel
Speaker 2: books in the US. Previously, they had done one with DCAL,
Speaker 2: but I believe that was before they had really started
Speaker 2: working together with DCAL. So my bet is it would
Speaker 2: not be coming to steel Book in the US. If
Speaker 2: you really want the steel Book, there's a multiple distributor
Speaker 2: or multiple retailers in the US that are selling it,
Speaker 2: so now's the time if you really want it. It's
Speaker 2: a little pricey, it's like forty six bucks, but now
Speaker 2: is the time to pick it up if.
Speaker 1: You want it. Who is the This is a somebody's
Speaker 1: son or a new director? This is a who is
Speaker 1: this again?
Speaker 2: This is Anthony Perkins' son? Yeah, Perkins, that's right, and
Speaker 2: he's done. I think this is his third or fourth feature,
Speaker 2: and so far they're all pretty damn great. His breakout
Speaker 2: feature was Black Coat's Daughter with who you mentioned earlier? Accidentally,
Speaker 2: Emma Roberts.
Speaker 1: Just tying it go back together? Should I see this
Speaker 1: or Zodiac first?
Speaker 2: Ooh? Zodiac for sure? Okay, Zodiac is a much better
Speaker 2: movie than this. Ooh, much better, much better by a
Speaker 2: long shot.
Speaker 1: Take that as good? Uh.
Speaker 2: The Urckemeister Harmonies by Belatar. This is coming on a
Speaker 2: standalone four K release in the UK from Kurzone on
Speaker 2: October fourteenth. This is yet another situation where they're putting
Speaker 2: out a film on four K and then releasing a
Speaker 2: box set that only has that same film on Blu Ray.
Speaker 2: They are also doing Bellatar, a Chrizone collection on that
Speaker 2: same day. Chris, tell the class how you feel about Kurzone.
Speaker 1: Hmmm, well this one it won't be an isshe you hear,
Speaker 1: because they put subtitles on movies that are not filmed
Speaker 1: in English, so it won't be an issue here. I'm
Speaker 1: so confused by a karison because they seem to have
Speaker 1: people that like the kind of movies that I like.
Speaker 1: And this is a great example, like I'll buy this
Speaker 1: box set and I'll and I'll watch these movies again.
Speaker 1: But I just yeah, they just they reuse, uh, they
Speaker 1: reuse what's it called scans, and they just go cheap
Speaker 1: on the actual transfers, and like the the quality of
Speaker 1: the film in the box, that's but they they put
Speaker 1: all their money onto artwork, and you know, the special
Speaker 1: features are all over the place. Sometimes they're great, sometimes
Speaker 1: they're empty. They're just it's just so scatters shot. It's
Speaker 1: like there's no quality controller vision.
Speaker 2: Right, And then they release a Ruben Oslin set and
Speaker 2: it has a custom card game in it, Like you
Speaker 2: go through that much care, but yet on a really great, large,
Speaker 2: one truer set, you can't put English subtitles on English films.
Speaker 1: Drove me crazy. But like, honestly, mister Workmeister Harmonies is
Speaker 1: a beautiful, like for if for anybody who hasn't seen it,
Speaker 1: it's just like a meditative, slow, very beautifully shot film.
Speaker 1: I loved it. Uh, I got kind of got like
Speaker 1: an entrance watching it. It's it's very good.
Speaker 2: Uh excuse me.
Speaker 1: Dying you choked up. That's the effect it has on people.
Speaker 1: If you need to take a break, I can talk
Speaker 1: about this movie for a minute. So the basic promise
Speaker 1: is as if Ryan dies, I don't have the ability
Speaker 1: to uh switch, So we're gonna be talking about Wirkmeister
Speaker 1: harmonies for the next three hours. But or we'll just
Speaker 1: watch it together. But it's like a it's the whole
Speaker 1: movie is like a metaphor, and so you you're watching
Speaker 1: this town and like a circus come into the town,
Speaker 1: and the town react to the circus, and they bring
Speaker 1: an actual whale into this town. But while everything is
Speaker 1: kind of while the circus is in here, the town
Speaker 1: is kind of falling apart, and there's not an invasion,
Speaker 1: but there's an army that kind of comes in and
Speaker 1: disrupts the town. And so there's just it's like layer
Speaker 1: on layer of metaphor. But it's it's it's a beautiful movie.
Speaker 1: It's very very good.
Speaker 2: I inhaled a cough drop. I'm sorry. I came home
Speaker 2: from La pretty sick and I'm mostly over it. But
Speaker 2: trying to be okay, well you.
Speaker 1: Were actually choking. I thought it was just like a
Speaker 1: like swa went down the wrong pipe or something no in.
Speaker 2: A hil to cof drop and it it messed me
Speaker 2: up this one. For some reason, I feel like a
Speaker 2: lot of people forgot or didn't realize. Criterion released this
Speaker 2: earlier this year in April. It also came out on
Speaker 2: four K here, but for the longest time, this was
Speaker 2: very heart see in Region A. This is a title
Speaker 2: that was not able to be gotten easily. This is
Speaker 2: something that I had somebody today commenting when is this
Speaker 2: ever gonna come out in Region A or Region free?
Speaker 2: And I just say, hold on here, let me get
Speaker 2: you a link. So now that you're looking at it,
Speaker 2: this is also out in the US if you're after
Speaker 2: it still.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's beautiful and someone is sorry, can I scroll down? Eric,
Speaker 1: you're talking about the soundtrack. It is a beautiful soundtrack too. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's a good call out.
Speaker 2: Let's see, heybe he's trying to claim my Connection collection.
Speaker 2: I already bet half the collection, so good luck. Eric
Speaker 2: says this is one of the greatest openings of all time,
Speaker 2: and uh yeah, this is one fans of slow Cinema
Speaker 2: are gonna be after fans of Belatar. This is this
Speaker 2: is pretty much everything that we could have wanted in
Speaker 2: a great box set. Of course, Eric is pointing out
Speaker 2: wish that had tars TV version of Macbeth. The hour
Speaker 2: long film consists of only two shots. That's that's wild,
Speaker 2: all right. So that is Curzone next up. We have
Speaker 2: not talked about this yet because we didn't get any details,
Speaker 2: and I'm not like all those other channels that wants
Speaker 2: to get all these clickbait things. So now it's time
Speaker 2: to talk about a nightmare on Elm Street. This is
Speaker 2: getting a four K steelbook and standard release from Warner
Speaker 2: Brothers in the US, coming in the UK, gonna be everywhere.
Speaker 2: But this is gonna have both versions on this. This
Speaker 2: is gonna have the uncut and the theatrical version. From
Speaker 2: what I remember, the uncut is just a couple of
Speaker 2: slightly extended scenes, a little bit more Gore classic Wes
Speaker 2: Craven stuff. Do you how do you feel about the
Speaker 2: art on this?
Speaker 1: Chris not a huge fan, but I imagine there's gonna
Speaker 1: be some kind of box set coming out at some point, right.
Speaker 2: I mean, there's two thoughts on this obviously, this is
Speaker 2: I don't know, it's expensive and this is a long
Speaker 2: time coming. There's what seven films if they if they
Speaker 2: want to do just the core set. Uh, technically you
Speaker 2: could do eight, I guess. But the hard part is
Speaker 2: Warner Brothers just sent out a survey asking people which
Speaker 2: of these titles would you love to see on four
Speaker 2: K and one of the options was Nightmare on Elm
Speaker 2: Street one through seven and it was listed as one
Speaker 2: through seven. So will there be a box set? I mean,
Speaker 2: my gut says yes, because this is such an exploited title,
Speaker 2: but I mean the way the world is and Warner
Speaker 2: Brothers just seemingly doesn't care.
Speaker 1: But didn't didn't Warner Brothers do those like that Harry
Speaker 1: Potter set where it was like padded and you slide
Speaker 1: in the slip cases? Are the steal books?
Speaker 2: I mean yes, yes they did.
Speaker 1: And that's like their thing, right, is like the big
Speaker 1: kind of chunky steel book box set. I wouldn't mind
Speaker 1: one of those.
Speaker 2: They don't.
Speaker 1: Is it a right? Do they not have all the
Speaker 1: all the movies?
Speaker 2: They have all seven of them. I don't understand why
Speaker 2: they wouldn't necessarily it, For all we know it could
Speaker 2: be elements. But if they're if they're asking people if
Speaker 2: they would like it, I imagine they think they can
Speaker 2: do it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I just want I still have that old I can't.
Speaker 1: I mean it's probably Warner Brothers that put it out.
Speaker 1: That old DVD set. There was like the snapcase ones
Speaker 1: that all came in the same So that's the only
Speaker 1: way I can watch those movies right now. So I
Speaker 1: don't know that I'll get this though. I'll probably wait
Speaker 1: a year or two and see what they do for
Speaker 1: like a set.
Speaker 2: This one. I know similar saying I broke those features
Speaker 2: to you a month ago. It wasn't just about special features.
Speaker 2: We just found out that it's coming out on October first.
Speaker 2: We found out that this is gonna be coming widely.
Speaker 2: It's not something that's gonna be exclusive anywhere. We finally
Speaker 2: got the art in HD rather that you know, some
Speaker 2: some blurry leak from some retailer site. So there was
Speaker 2: a lot that goes into it. There will be some
Speaker 2: features on this. There's alternate takes, and they say learn
Speaker 2: filmmaking secrets behind the Nightmare by jumping to video highlights
Speaker 2: while watching the movie. Two commentaries on this, both of
Speaker 2: them are old archival commentaries, alternate endings, three featurettes. As
Speaker 2: far as I can tell, nothing really new, but it
Speaker 2: looks it looks like the best that they can do
Speaker 2: for this without hiring people for new special features. I'm
Speaker 2: not against the art. From what I remember, I believe
Speaker 2: there's something about Robert England's likeness that they can't show
Speaker 2: him on the cover art of some of these unless
Speaker 2: they use very specific art. I don't know why they
Speaker 2: don't just use that on the steel book, but I
Speaker 2: don't know. It's not terrible, could be worse.
Speaker 1: The image I have in my head for this whole series,
Speaker 1: Fair or Not is them getting sucked into a bed
Speaker 1: and like the blood squirting out of the bed, Like
Speaker 1: that's kind of like in my head, that's like the
Speaker 1: image for the whole series.
Speaker 2: And that was Johnny Depp. Of course, the one and
Speaker 2: the only next is the UK version of that one,
Speaker 2: and the same and it looks like they're using the
Speaker 2: same steel book there. They've got a book since this
Speaker 2: is a collector's edition, because the UK gets so much
Speaker 2: beefier sets than we get in the US. You've got
Speaker 2: some alt posters and I mean, this one looks like
Speaker 2: a pretty pretty decent set if you really want to
Speaker 2: go all out. If this is one of your favorites,
Speaker 2: I'm very curious to see what they have on here
Speaker 2: for Never Sleep Again. I kind of doubt it will
Speaker 2: be the entire documentary since it's I don't even remember
Speaker 2: five hours long or whatever. Yeah, but yeah, this looks
Speaker 2: This looks like a good set. If this is one
Speaker 2: of your favorites.
Speaker 1: I do I have like this is one of those
Speaker 1: what's the word nostalgic movies for me, Like I saw this.
Speaker 1: This is one of the ones I saw way too young.
Speaker 1: I was probably I don't even know if five six
Speaker 1: seven when I saw it, and it didn't really scar me,
Speaker 1: Like I was kind of laughing at it. It's kind
Speaker 1: of what one of the ways I found out my
Speaker 1: brain was broken. Yeah, I love it.
Speaker 2: Though I think I saw this. I think this is
Speaker 2: the second one that I consciously watched as a horror movie.
Speaker 2: And I think it was like nine when I saw this.
Speaker 2: Fell in love, absolutely love it. Yeah, Barry is saying, well,
Speaker 2: the four K be a reliable transfer. Yes, I've seen
Speaker 2: the four K remaster in the theater. KB is here
Speaker 2: and he saw it with me. And he said, I
Speaker 2: like the art of the damn four K transfer, which
Speaker 2: I've now seen twice. It looks great. There's no reasona
Speaker 2: worry about this one. It's a stupendous transfer. It looks amazing. Oh,
Speaker 2: there we go. Zepam says, it's not the four plus
Speaker 2: hour Never Sleep Again doc. It's a fifty minute doc
Speaker 2: from two thousand and six. Well, Never Sleep Again is
Speaker 2: worth it. Everybody should seek that out. The other big
Speaker 2: news of the week god Zilla minus one getting official
Speaker 2: US releases from Toho on top of that big Japanese
Speaker 2: box set. Unfortunately, we don't really have details on this.
Speaker 2: We know when it's coming out, we know what it
Speaker 2: looks like. We don't know if this will have bonus features,
Speaker 2: but there's three discs here, so I imagine it will. However,
Speaker 2: will those be subtitled in English? Who knows? This is
Speaker 2: also everywhere like very expensive. It's way more expensive than
Speaker 2: you would expect for a four K steel book. I
Speaker 2: hope people check this out, but I imagine this is
Speaker 2: going to be the next over exploited title for physical media.
Speaker 2: There is a four K steel book version coming of this.
Speaker 2: There's a standard four K steel standard four k coming
Speaker 2: of this. There's a Blu Ray coming of this. There's
Speaker 2: a lot. I've had a lot of questions people asking
Speaker 2: will let have the English dub. It will not that
Speaker 2: English dub that was made by Netflix and that will
Speaker 2: never be released. That's not attached to Godzilla minus one
Speaker 2: Netflix created. It will not be a part of the discs.
Speaker 1: Plan nine wants to know if Godzilla has lip filler.
Speaker 1: I haven't seen this movie yet to confirm.
Speaker 2: I don't think that was about Godzilla.
Speaker 1: I'm just kidding.
Speaker 2: I hope it was. Is there lipfiller on one of these?
Speaker 2: I don't know. Yeah, Godzilla's getting a lot. Yeah. Next up,
Speaker 2: we have Trauma releasing Toxic Crusaders, the animated series from
Speaker 2: nineteen ninety one, coming on Blu Ray with all new
Speaker 2: remasters on December tenth. Now I know it's Trauma. Chris
Speaker 2: and I both love Trauma. We both have a history
Speaker 2: with Trauma. We both have watched many of these titles
Speaker 2: and have both been very disappointed in Trouma Blu rays
Speaker 2: in the past. However, some of the pictures from the
Speaker 2: shots from this look mind blowing. I really think they
Speaker 2: actually went back to the original and made this look incredible.
Speaker 2: I'm kind of very excited to get this. What do
Speaker 2: you think of Toxic Crusaders.
Speaker 1: It's in a very similar conversation for me with The
Speaker 1: Clerks the animated series. They're just like nostalgic, sweet cartoons
Speaker 1: that I can put on and like watch anytime, and
Speaker 1: I like them, and this series is just I don't know.
Speaker 1: Lloyd Coffin is amazing what he was able to do
Speaker 1: with one character. It's just like, I don't know, I
Speaker 1: love the man.
Speaker 2: One character with a mask in them up? Uh, what's funny?
Speaker 2: Kev's all excited that we mentioned The Clerk's animated series.
Speaker 2: I almost bought The Clerk's Animated series last week in
Speaker 2: LA and now I regret it. I probably should have
Speaker 2: the old DVD. Yeah, I don't have it.
Speaker 1: Well, I know this is not relevant to this, but
Speaker 1: you know, if you ordered from views website back in
Speaker 1: like early two thousands, Kevin Smith would sign everyone. So
Speaker 1: I've got that's one of the ones that he signed
Speaker 1: for me.
Speaker 2: Nice.
Speaker 1: Nice, but yeah, Toxic Crusaders the series is awesome, I
Speaker 1: would say. I mean, I'm not going to sell it.
Speaker 1: You either kind of want to see that if you
Speaker 1: don't but I love it if.
Speaker 2: You're really into Toxic Crusaders. Out of Nowhere. Fright Rags
Speaker 2: just launched a Toxic Crusaders line this week. I linked
Speaker 2: that as well if you want to check it out.
Speaker 2: They're actually pretty good designs. I'm kind of surprised, but yeah,
Speaker 2: if you're into it, check it out. This one is weird.
Speaker 2: So October eighth, Keno is re releasing Thunderbolt and Lightfoot.
Speaker 2: But what's crazy. This is the same disc that was
Speaker 2: the second Blu Ray disc from their four K release
Speaker 2: from last year, So they're basically just putting out a
Speaker 2: standalone Blu Ray, which I thought they already had before,
Speaker 2: but maybe it just wasn't three version, so they wanted
Speaker 2: that one out for people that just wanted it on
Speaker 2: Blue and not four K. I imagine that's the reason.
Speaker 1: We'll talk about this more in a minute, but do
Speaker 1: you think there's some market research out there that shows
Speaker 1: that if people see four K, they're not gonna buy it,
Speaker 1: even if it says four K plus Blu Ray or
Speaker 1: something like that.
Speaker 2: I imagine there is market research that says that, but also
Speaker 2: market research that shows if it doesn't say four K,
Speaker 2: they're not buying it. So no, for sure, it definitely
Speaker 2: goes both ways.
Speaker 1: There's an interesting one we're gonna be talking about later
Speaker 1: that they chose not to put four k in and
Speaker 1: I'm just interested to see if this is a trend.
Speaker 2: But anyways, all right, next one, just an update from
Speaker 2: Scarecrow Video. It's been about six weeks since they made
Speaker 2: their big announcement about their fiscal situation, and we had
Speaker 2: Joel on the channel with Kate and they just wanted
Speaker 2: to update everybody and they said as of writing this,
Speaker 2: which was about ten days ago or so, they had
Speaker 2: raised almost a half a million dollars, which is about
Speaker 2: a quarter of what they were after they wanted one
Speaker 2: point eight million total, and they've got a lot, and
Speaker 2: they've got still quite a bit of time, but they
Speaker 2: definitely want to show people that there's still ways that
Speaker 2: you can support. So remember recommend any angel donors that
Speaker 2: you know to Scarecrow. You can alert any foundations or
Speaker 2: granting organizations that might be a good fit for them.
Speaker 2: If you're a nonprofit professional or you know somebody Seattle
Speaker 2: Base that could help, They will happily take advice from them.
Speaker 2: There's a member survey that's coming out and I think
Speaker 2: it's either out or about to come out. And you
Speaker 2: can also rent by mail support Scarecrow rent by mail. Erica,
Speaker 2: who was in the chat earlier that we were talking
Speaker 2: about highlight Scarecrow almost as much as me. Uh, there
Speaker 2: was something for the book that Erica needed that the
Speaker 2: only place that she could find it was from Scarecrow.
Speaker 2: So there are definitely titles that if you absolutely want it,
Speaker 2: Scarecrow is going to be the last stop. But also
Speaker 2: just spread the word. Make sure that people understand that
Speaker 2: is somebody that needs help and they can donate. And
Speaker 2: the website for that is listed here. It's the Scarecrow
Speaker 2: video dot org slash s o.
Speaker 1: S yeah that we you know, living in Austin, we've
Speaker 1: seen one like beloved video chain go under. It was
Speaker 1: called I Love Video and so yeah, it sucks. I
Speaker 1: mean it sucks like it impacts the whole community.
Speaker 2: So does.
Speaker 1: I certainly gave and I hope other people do.
Speaker 2: Another update, this one from Treasured Films in the UK.
Speaker 2: They'd like to thank everybody and they've been navigating through
Speaker 2: a transitional period while they change their wholesaler. They wanted
Speaker 2: to say that the island is at the printers, while
Speaker 2: you might be the killers close behind down. The Mummy
Speaker 2: is still coming through the QC process so that they
Speaker 2: can get that out properly for everybody. And then a
Speaker 2: big update. They wanted to say that you've heard it here. First,
Speaker 2: we have our first North American title on the way
Speaker 2: and you can I think the BBFC for that, they
Speaker 2: will leave it there for now. Now doing some digging,
Speaker 2: it sounds like it is this ultra gory made for
Speaker 2: TV or shot on video Italian flick that was just
Speaker 2: denied by the BBFC recently. Not a guarantee, but it
Speaker 2: looks like it could be that, so we shall see
Speaker 2: pretty soon.
Speaker 1: I feel silly saying this. I've never heard of Treasured Films.
Speaker 2: What I mean, They've only released I think three titles
Speaker 2: so far that have actually come out, so I get that.
Speaker 1: No, but I mean, like, you know, given our topic tonight,
Speaker 1: Oh I've seen this Mausoleum release. Okay, yeah, okay. Treasured
Speaker 1: Films so they're the UK based.
Speaker 2: They are UK based. However, if you're in the US,
Speaker 2: Terror Vision is helping sell their titles. You can go
Speaker 2: over to terror dash Vision dot com and pick up
Speaker 2: terror Vision and Treasured film's titles all in one fell swoop.
Speaker 1: Dang, there's so cheap. There's seven pounds on their website.
Speaker 2: They are very cheap standards.
Speaker 1: Yes, that's great. Yeah, go to Terror Vision. Sorry I
Speaker 1: didn't mean to. Yeah, go to Terror Vision.
Speaker 2: No, you're absolutely right. Obviously, the shipping will be the
Speaker 2: kicker there if you're in the US. So check out
Speaker 2: Treasure Films, check out Terror Vision. Good stuff all around. Hey,
Speaker 2: Punk Vacation and your SnO podcast. We talked about this
Speaker 2: a little bit earlier. What else can people look forward
Speaker 2: to hearing, you know, throughout the month.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I have to shout out if you could
Speaker 1: possibly pull up the artwork for one more second. There
Speaker 1: is somebody who's a listener. I don't I don't think
Speaker 1: he would be in the room tonight, but his name
Speaker 1: is Adam Danburry, and he's on Instagram just at Adam
Speaker 1: Danbury and he's just like a professional graphics designer. He
Speaker 1: does like ads for soaps and shampoos and stuff, and
Speaker 1: just offered to do this in his free time. And
Speaker 1: we went back and forth a few times, and I'm
Speaker 1: just I'm in love with this artwork. So I just
Speaker 1: wanted to call out Adam and say thank you. I
Speaker 1: just I think he nailed it. I asked him for
Speaker 1: something that kind of felt like Andy Warhol and uh
Speaker 1: and obviously please include Rudy Raymore if you can to
Speaker 1: my favorite one of my favorite things about well do
Speaker 1: my favorite things about vinegar syndrome. And I think he
Speaker 1: nailed it. So but yeah, so anyways, thank you, Adam,
Speaker 1: Thanks Dan Yeah, Adam Danbury on Instagram. Nothing like this
Speaker 1: on his on his Insta. But so, I I really
Speaker 1: want to have it be organized because I think the
Speaker 1: films and the content is crazy enough, so I want
Speaker 1: people to have like consistent expectations of what they're going
Speaker 1: to get. Then the episodes can get crazy, but the
Speaker 1: format is consistent. So the the day or like the
Speaker 1: day of or the day after the announcements, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: be getting on with iter Syndrome employee and we're gonna
Speaker 1: talk about the announcement. So that's why Curtis was on
Speaker 1: in August. We recorded that August first, I edited quickly
Speaker 1: and it was released August second. We're gonna try to
Speaker 1: do it that way, so it's like pretty quick and
Speaker 1: you get that release. If anybody from Vindierger Syndrome is
Speaker 1: on tonight. I don't mean this as a slight. I
Speaker 1: was just surprised they refuse to go even a day early.
Speaker 1: It's just I guess it's their culture. They just absolutely
Speaker 1: won't go on the thirty first, just to kind of
Speaker 1: make things easier. You know, that's fine, So record on
Speaker 1: the first or second based on availability, and then try
Speaker 1: to quickly edit it and get it out. And then
Speaker 1: you know, I'm a subscriber, so I get the movies
Speaker 1: in around the twenty fourth twenty fifth of each month.
Speaker 1: So these movies that I got in July twenty fourth,
Speaker 1: I've been watching. And then as I go through all
Speaker 1: the Vinegar Syndrome mainline stuff and all the sub labels
Speaker 1: like vsl vsp VS you uh wait, VSA, vsl vsp VS, U,
Speaker 1: U Degasser, Cinematograph and just distrib picks. I think I
Speaker 1: got them. I think I got them all. But I'll
Speaker 1: try to go through all those for sure, and then
Speaker 1: I'll get as many of the OCN titles as I can.
Speaker 1: And after that and uh and just then around the
Speaker 1: fifteenth of the month, whatever that Friday is, It'll be
Speaker 1: sometimes the thirteenth or twelfth or you know, fifteenth, but
Speaker 1: I'll want to try to get it around the fifteenth.
Speaker 1: I'll either do it myself or I'll have if any
Speaker 1: of y'all have, like you know, like KB, I know,
Speaker 1: I see as in here whoever else has YouTube shows
Speaker 1: if if anybody wants to just come talk vinegar syndrome
Speaker 1: at that one's a little bit more open. I might
Speaker 1: have vinegar syndrome folks on that as well as I
Speaker 1: can get them. Well, yeah, I guess I don't mind
Speaker 1: saying this. Liberty is going to be on the one
Speaker 1: in September in the in the of the month, so
Speaker 1: but then we'll just talk about the July releases and
Speaker 1: then so that'll be the core. The first is like
Speaker 1: the announcements. The fifteenth is the ones from the previous month,
Speaker 1: really kind of going through them and talking about him.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be honest. If I don't like it, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna say it, even if someone from here. I mean,
Speaker 1: I just you know, I want to try to be
Speaker 1: an honest place to go through and say in my
Speaker 1: opinion at least. And then I'm gonna try to do
Speaker 1: a back catalog section as well, where we highlight some
Speaker 1: films that did need to get some love.
Speaker 2: So I am just like Brandon, super stoked for this again.
Speaker 2: The first episode was great Curtis because he literally sees
Speaker 2: every film far too many times because it goes through him.
Speaker 2: He knows everything, and he was able to speak on
Speaker 2: everything super competently, and you're passionate about it. It's it's great.
Speaker 2: It's the perfect show for anybody that loves VS. Please
Speaker 2: go subscribe.
Speaker 1: Thank you, thank you, thank you for the Limelight Core.
Speaker 2: Severn had got into some hot water last week based
Speaker 2: on their release of Opera. Somebody went and posted these
Speaker 2: really awful cell phone pictures on the Blu ray dot
Speaker 2: com forums, and based on that, the world caught on
Speaker 2: fire and everybody started to riot. Severn is working on
Speaker 2: a replacement disc. The long story short, it looks like
Speaker 2: the HDR color space did not get checked properly when
Speaker 2: they were authoring the disc, and they are re authoring
Speaker 2: a brand new disc, and then they're going to be
Speaker 2: sending those replacements. It is going to come to you.
Speaker 2: You don't need to contact customer service. If you bought it,
Speaker 2: you will be getting one. No matter what, they're doing
Speaker 2: the right thing. This is something that should be applauded.
Speaker 2: They found the mistake, they found the air, they fixed
Speaker 2: it quickly. You're getting a replacement for free. It's a
Speaker 2: good thing.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Severn is another one of these ones to me,
Speaker 1: kind of like vinegar syndrome that I just feel like
Speaker 1: they just seem to have money. I don't know if they
Speaker 1: have a cash infusion and I don't know, or maybe
Speaker 1: they're just selling well, but like they're getting bigger titles,
Speaker 1: and it's the right people to be getting this bigger titles,
Speaker 1: right Like they're Yeah, they're passionate about the work, So
Speaker 1: I mean, this kind of stuff is gonna happen. But
Speaker 1: their response is better than Arrows.
Speaker 2: I can't argue with that. Yeah, Arrows was god awful.
Speaker 2: Got justin Liberty was just telling me that he still
Speaker 2: hasn't got his replacement for the Coffin.
Speaker 1: Joe said, no, I haven't got man yet either.
Speaker 2: Oh jeez, that's not good. Next up, One on one
Speaker 2: Films in the UK is releasing The Sword and the
Speaker 2: Sourcerer on October seventh. This is probably the exact same
Speaker 2: four K disc that was released by Screen Factory. There
Speaker 2: is going to be a bunch of extras on this.
Speaker 2: I believe they are all the same from the Screen
Speaker 2: Factory release, and then you've got the poster and the
Speaker 2: art cards and all that fun stuff, plus a booklet.
Speaker 2: Just looks like a really solid If you are a
Speaker 2: big fan of this movie, I would check it out.
Speaker 2: If you're in the US, you might want the Screen
Speaker 2: Factory one. In the UK, this looks like a great choice.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I feel like One on One is somebody that
Speaker 1: needs I hope to please if someone from One on
Speaker 1: one is I don't mean this in an offensive way,
Speaker 1: but I feel like they need an adult in the room.
Speaker 1: Like the work they do is so good, but it's
Speaker 1: like they don't release titles consistently and they're kind of
Speaker 1: all over the place. I don't know if they have
Speaker 1: a I don't know, like I like I like the
Speaker 1: company a lot, but I just can't seem to get
Speaker 1: a hold of like keeping track of what they're putting
Speaker 1: out or what's their vibe or I don't know, but
Speaker 1: but I love them. I mean this, you know, I'll
Speaker 1: probably get this one because I didn't get Screen Factory one.
Speaker 2: One on one has got some huge titles over the
Speaker 2: last year. I do got to be honest, just like
Speaker 2: christ you just said if something's not right, I will
Speaker 2: say it. One on one has botched too many releases
Speaker 2: for me to trust. I think for a while. Okay,
Speaker 2: they they did the Johnny Namonic release that looked worse
Speaker 2: than the DVD. They've got aspect ratio and framing issues
Speaker 2: on another release that just happened got about two months ago.
Speaker 2: They've had some other Their four k's are not encoded
Speaker 2: super well either. But I don't know. I've still got faith.
Speaker 2: They've put a handful of great titles that I love,
Speaker 2: and yeah, one on one films, I'd love to see
Speaker 2: them come back. Fear City, That's the title I was
Speaker 2: trying to think of next. Shout STUDIOSS just launched their
Speaker 2: Shout Select ticket saving sale. This is going on until
Speaker 2: August fifteenth at midnight Pacific, And this is one of
Speaker 2: those Shout sales that's actually a sale, like there are
Speaker 2: great titles here that are less than ten dollars. If
Speaker 2: you are missing Shout Select titles, go check out the sale.
Speaker 2: This is probably some of the best prices that you're
Speaker 2: gonna see on most of these titles. Some of them
Speaker 2: are on sale for the first time ever. I listed
Speaker 2: some of those in the post here it is. It
Speaker 2: is worth checking out they. I don't know. I wish
Speaker 2: they priced all of their sales like this sale.
Speaker 1: The Wizard is something that everybody should own. I think
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think.
Speaker 2: Of the other They did the four K release of Clue,
Speaker 2: They've done the abb Ab and Castello box sets.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, but this is only the shouts Select. Right,
Speaker 1: was that a shout Select?
Speaker 2: It was? Yes?
Speaker 1: Oh cool? Okay, yeah, I own a handful of stuff
Speaker 1: from them. They're trying to get. That's the one that
Speaker 1: has like the kind of like criterion or style with it,
Speaker 1: the spines.
Speaker 2: Right, I mean it's got a number, that's about it.
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, oh, Glenn Glay again Ross, Oh, the Sunny
Speaker 1: Chibo one, that's a good one. And Jackie Chanlin. Those
Speaker 1: are the ones I have from them.
Speaker 2: They've done a lot of great, great sales. Clue is
Speaker 2: twenty five dollars when it was twenty dollars last time. Yeah,
Speaker 2: so don't don't buy Clue four K yet, jeez. Although
Speaker 2: in that last sale it's sold out in like an hour,
Speaker 2: so it's a good honey. Here is another big deal.
Speaker 2: Grindhouse Releasing finally put up for sale Hollywood nine Double
Speaker 2: two eight from nineteen seventy three. This is one that
Speaker 2: they announced I don't even know four years ago something
Speaker 2: like that, that they've been working on it, and this
Speaker 2: is finally here. It is a pre order, so it's
Speaker 2: not shipping right now. It will be shipping in October.
Speaker 2: But as usual, Grindhouse Releasing absolutely overloads their discs, so
Speaker 2: this happen so much on it. It's a four K restoration.
Speaker 2: It will not be released on UHG, so you don't
Speaker 2: need to worry about that. There's in depth interviews with
Speaker 2: christ Augustein from the film, Janette Dilger, Gale Davis, the editor,
Speaker 2: audio commentaries on this. There's alternate scenes from the original
Speaker 2: X rated version, an experimental sixteen milimeters short film by
Speaker 2: the director Christina Hornisher out takes Galleries, liner notes, a
Speaker 2: bonus CD with the original soundtrack, album, and other surprises.
Speaker 2: Grindhouse still does like East Riggs on all their discs.
Speaker 2: This is This is probably gonna be a really great
Speaker 2: disc if you're excited about this film.
Speaker 1: What's the drying A blank? I can't What's Who's the
Speaker 1: guy that runs grind does?
Speaker 2: Uh? It is the guy that works with Sam Raimi.
Speaker 2: What is his name? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yeah, anyways, so has anybody have any of like, have
Speaker 1: you or any of the other podcasts ever spoken to him?
Speaker 2: No, he's never available.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's one of the big gets. He's harder to
Speaker 1: reach the Criterion almost but.
Speaker 2: Well, at least he might say yes if you ever
Speaker 2: got in touch with him. Criterion will not. Nope. All right.
Speaker 2: Next up, this was just announced today inside out to
Speaker 2: We'll be getting a four K release, but only if
Speaker 2: you buy this steel book. It will not be getting
Speaker 2: a standalone four K release. This is coming out on
Speaker 2: September tenth, so pretty quickly. Considering this was such a
Speaker 2: huge hit for Pixar, that's kind of kind of fast
Speaker 2: for them. This will also have a standard Blu ray
Speaker 2: and a DVD. There's no word on if this will
Speaker 2: be a Walmart exclusive steel book, however, I wouldn't be
Speaker 2: surprised if this was a wide release. The I think
Speaker 2: the last one was called The Rise of the Planet
Speaker 2: of the Apes. That one was Disney title or Fox
Speaker 2: title and it was released widely. So hopefully this is
Speaker 2: this is out there and available for everybody. The Walmart
Speaker 2: exclusive stuff kind of sucks. I do think the Steel
Speaker 2: Book looks nice and I love this movie, so I
Speaker 2: do hope to get this on four K.
Speaker 1: How was it compared to the first Inside Out?
Speaker 2: I think it's just a tiny notch below, but it's
Speaker 2: almost more impressive from a psychological standpoint, because there's more
Speaker 2: complex emotions displayed, and they do a really great job
Speaker 2: of explaining them in a way that like for my kids,
Speaker 2: they're the perfect age to watch the and understand and
Speaker 2: use that as a visual reference. And we've already referred
Speaker 2: to it in talking with our kids. So love it,
Speaker 2: love it, Brendan says. Does Criterion think they're too good
Speaker 2: for Ryan? How lame? Criterion will not let any of
Speaker 2: their employees interview for anything. It's wild. Next up is
Speaker 2: Twilight of the Warriors Walled in. This is starting to
Speaker 2: be in theaters tomorrow, but you can already pre order
Speaker 2: this on four K and Blu Ray, releasing on November
Speaker 2: nineteenth from Wellgo USA. This is supposedly really great. Samo
Speaker 2: Hung is in this, and I'm excited to see this one.
Speaker 2: This one is right up my alley for sure.
Speaker 1: Have you seen the trailer for this?
Speaker 2: I have, and Samo looks wild.
Speaker 1: This trailer is amazing.
Speaker 2: I'm very eager to see this movie.
Speaker 1: I can't wait. This will be a day one. If
Speaker 1: it's in the theaters all I'll get a babysitter if
Speaker 1: I have to, like, I'll go. This will be one
Speaker 1: of the three that I watched this year. If it
Speaker 1: comes to Austin, I hope it does.
Speaker 2: It has to, I mean Austin gets I would say
Speaker 2: most probably right.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, we it was a good chance. I just
Speaker 1: the trailer just like blew Me Away. It's just like right,
Speaker 1: I want three hours of that.
Speaker 2: I get it. Some left here kinds of kindness. This
Speaker 2: is coming out on Blu ray and DVD on October eighth.
Speaker 2: This is a Fox search Light title, so this will
Speaker 2: not be coming to UHD. I know a lot of
Speaker 2: people are pissed off about that. We got a couple
Speaker 2: of deleted scenes in this and then some featurettes behind
Speaker 2: the scenes type of stuff coming on this one. This
Speaker 2: is Emma Stone. This is the Yorgos Lanthemos title, Emmastone,
Speaker 2: Jesse Plemmons, Willem Dafoe, Margaret Qually, Hong Chow, Hunter Schaeffer,
Speaker 2: lots of big names and this is supposed to be great.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I can't. I think I want to go backwards
Speaker 1: and see I've never seen any Yurgos film except for
Speaker 1: Poor Things, so wow, Yeah.
Speaker 2: I feel like you would that that should almost be
Speaker 2: the next They Live by film director to go through.
Speaker 2: That'd be a really interesting one. Huh. All right? Yeah
Speaker 2: this this, Uh, this looks like a good release. I'll
Speaker 2: definitely be getting this one. Old Gold Media in the
Speaker 2: UK is releasing Widows the Complete Series. Uh. This is
Speaker 2: coming on September ninth. I believe this is a British
Speaker 2: show that I've never seen, never heard of, also includes
Speaker 2: the sequel series She's Out. It's a gritty crime series
Speaker 2: with strong female lead characters. And I know when I
Speaker 2: see this cover art, I think gritty crime.
Speaker 1: Series, British names. Get down, man, they're gonna.
Speaker 2: They're gonna those crimes. Uh wow, Simmonar says, uh kind
Speaker 2: of kindness is my favorite the year so far. Oh, Widows.
Speaker 2: Wasn't there a US film released just a few years
Speaker 2: ago called Widows two? Oh?
Speaker 1: I don't know, Yes, Oh surely was.
Speaker 2: I think Steve McQueen was the director or somebody like that.
Speaker 2: I think, oh, there you go. This is the basis
Speaker 2: for the Steve McQueen field, great timing, Simner.
Speaker 1: So Mafia and Mama Goold.
Speaker 2: Oh then oh perfect, all right, okay Yeah. Rian today
Speaker 2: announced a forty film box set coming on November nineteenth.
Speaker 2: This will be a forty nine disc Blu ray box set.
Speaker 2: If you want to see the full list of titles,
Speaker 2: it's up on the Criteria the website. However, just a
Speaker 2: handful of titles so that you could get the idea
Speaker 2: of what they are. It's got eight and a half,
Speaker 2: It's got Tokyo Story, all that jazz, bicycle, thieves, ripo men,
Speaker 2: naked being there, ye yee night, the Hunter, pick Pocket,
Speaker 2: do the right thing. Those types of titles like these
Speaker 2: are the ones that are picked the most in the
Speaker 2: Criterion Closet videos. Supposedly so Chris, you very famously made
Speaker 2: a Reddit post about this today. How do you feel
Speaker 2: about this box set?
Speaker 1: Look, I want to separate something. The movies in this
Speaker 1: box set are some of my favorite movies of all time.
Speaker 1: My banner on letterbox is eight and a half. Like
Speaker 1: I love Criterion, I love these movies a lot, and
Speaker 1: I'm a homer for them. I write a weekly, well
Speaker 1: almost weekly series where I'm going through Criterion by Spye
Speaker 1: number on Reddit, and I'm up to like one hundred
Speaker 1: and forty. Like I love Criterion. This is ridiculous. This
Speaker 1: is so dumb, and like I know people love it,
Speaker 1: and there's a it's it's fascinating reading the comments when
Speaker 1: I may a stupid meme about it, just basically talking
Speaker 1: about how there's no theme that connects it. It's just like,
Speaker 1: here's forty random movies that like we have in our
Speaker 1: collection that we've there are better releases of each one
Speaker 1: of these movies. Anybody that likes Criterion probably already owns.
Speaker 2: Them at least at least half of them.
Speaker 1: Or yeah yeah yea and not not yeah, sure, at
Speaker 1: least some portion of them. And it's six hundred and
Speaker 1: forty bucks. MSRP is eight hundred, so on sale, it's
Speaker 1: going to be four hundred bucks for forty random movies.
Speaker 1: I just what the hell were they thinking? Like, what
Speaker 1: is this?
Speaker 2: I agree? I agree fully, I what's the best way
Speaker 2: to say this? This is a box set that I
Speaker 2: imagine they don't think most people will purchase. I bet
Speaker 2: they plan on selling less than two copies of this,
Speaker 2: which for Criterion, that's terrible. Numbers, absolutely terrible numbers. This
Speaker 2: this absolutely is a perfect box set if you're a
Speaker 2: brand new to Criterion, if you're brand new to physical media,
Speaker 2: if you're just getting into art house cinema. However, most
Speaker 2: of those people just getting into those things don't have
Speaker 2: six hundred and forty dollars lying around to purchase this.
Speaker 2: What's crazy to me. This has forty films in it.
Speaker 2: The Bergmann box set has thirty nine, so one less film,
Speaker 2: and this set costs more than twice what the Bergman
Speaker 2: set costs. That's a good point. Granted, the Bergman set
Speaker 2: is an insane value. I'm not taking that away. I'm
Speaker 2: not saying everything should be that cheap. However, this is
Speaker 2: this is pretty insane. I really hope this is not
Speaker 2: the only thing they're doing to celebrate their fortieth anniversary,
Speaker 2: because I don't think I said that this is to
Speaker 2: celebrate their forty fe the anniversary. I don't know. I
Speaker 2: like that they're I like that they're doing something, but
Speaker 2: I feel like they could have done so much more. So, Chris,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna take this off the screen for a moment.
Speaker 2: What would you and a couple ideas maybe, what would
Speaker 2: you have rather Criterion done to celebrate their fortieth anniversary
Speaker 2: than this massive frickin' box set, and.
Speaker 1: I look, I don't want to. I see some comments
Speaker 1: of people like, look, if you want to own this
Speaker 1: and you don't already own these movies, and like you
Speaker 1: can wait till the sale and you get movies for
Speaker 1: forty movies for ten bucks a pop, Like sure, why,
Speaker 1: I guess right, Like I get it. I just don't
Speaker 1: understand the business decision behind doing something like this. It's
Speaker 1: just I don't like the hardcore Criterion fans are not
Speaker 1: gonna they might get excited about it, but they're not
Speaker 1: gonna buy it. So it's just like, so who's it for?
Speaker 1: That's my main my main point, right right, Yeah, that's
Speaker 1: that's a that's a great point, too, manable, Okay, so
Speaker 1: what what should I mean the answer is Curisawa, right, Like, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's the obvious, like figure out Cursawa and put it out,
Speaker 1: or I mean, because they already did Fellini, they already
Speaker 1: did Bergmann and so finish like the big directors, you
Speaker 1: could do Otsu. I guess you could do forty movies
Speaker 1: from Otsu and still only cover like half of what
Speaker 1: he put out, but still you could make some good
Speaker 1: progress on on Otsu. Yeah, good Dard, exactly, good Dard Curasawa,
Speaker 1: Like that's I think that's what you do, right, Like
Speaker 1: that this just or or you say like starting in uh,
Speaker 1: you know some year, like we're going to release the
Speaker 1: best movie in forty years, or like you know something,
Speaker 1: but like this just doesn't make any sense. The logic
Speaker 1: behind it was just people went into the Criterion closet
Speaker 1: and picked this movie, so let's make a box set
Speaker 1: out of it.
Speaker 2: Like what to interrupt the ranting for a second, KB
Speaker 2: says they made a Greatest Hits compilation. Music fans never
Speaker 2: complain about those. I will counter that and say, literally
Speaker 2: almost every Greatest Hits compilation and the history of music
Speaker 2: has like two bonus tracks that that's the only place
Speaker 2: that you can purchase them. Do that to us put
Speaker 2: two films in this box set that can't be purchased
Speaker 2: on their own, or give us ten four K upgrades
Speaker 2: in the box set that are already in there, and announced, Hey,
Speaker 2: these will come out on their own over the next
Speaker 2: three years, but if you want them now, you can
Speaker 2: get them in this box set. People would have jumped
Speaker 2: all over that people would have been praising this like crazy,
Speaker 2: there's no reason to get this if you even have
Speaker 2: I don't know, like what's the value proposition here? So
Speaker 2: this will be on sale if they do this half off,
Speaker 2: which they probably will, it'll be four hundred dollars. If
Speaker 2: they do that, that means that you're paying the equal
Speaker 2: price of twenty different films. So if you have twenty
Speaker 2: films in this box set already, this is a crapshoot.
Speaker 2: You're gonna be duplicating those. You could sell those potentially. However,
Speaker 2: if you had like ten of these, that's a lot
Speaker 2: more appealing if you really wanted all of them. But
Speaker 2: that's all I'm gonna say is there's lots of ways
Speaker 2: that they're gonna make this work for people that already
Speaker 2: had them.
Speaker 1: The last thing what makes me nervous erro Video got
Speaker 1: bought out by the Hut and they started putting out
Speaker 1: repackaging of films they already had in the rights to
Speaker 1: in little fancy packages so that people would read buy
Speaker 1: the same movies. And Criterion just got bought out and
Speaker 1: this is the first major announcement, and it's just like
Speaker 1: a little bit of PTSD around like this is a
Speaker 1: decision that feels like it's made by a VC and
Speaker 1: not by somebody who loves movies.
Speaker 2: That's a good point. It's a good point. So yeah,
Speaker 2: the obvious answer is Krosawa guitar something like that. The
Speaker 2: other side, I'll say, you know, you could have gone
Speaker 2: big in November instead of like your normal four titles,
Speaker 2: give us like a ten title month every week, released
Speaker 2: two brand new to the collection four K titles or
Speaker 2: something like that. That could have been huge. One thing
Speaker 2: that they could have done they could have announced some bundles.
Speaker 2: They could have done like all of the single releases
Speaker 2: from I don't know, Wes Anderson, and you can get
Speaker 2: a discounted price on their website. I would have loved
Speaker 2: to see them release some of their most lauded art
Speaker 2: as posters or shirts, because they never do that. I
Speaker 2: can't imagine, like, if you release the Godzilla set cover
Speaker 2: art as a poster tomorrow, you would sell five thousand
Speaker 2: copies of this day one probably I would be all
Speaker 2: about that. Life to me, Like, I've seen a lot
Speaker 2: of people, including Stan right now, calling this a money grab.
Speaker 2: Chris and I joked about this earlier. I feel like
Speaker 2: this is an anti money grab. I feel like this
Speaker 2: is the set to not get people to purchase it.
Speaker 2: This is like something I don't know that they're they're
Speaker 2: trying to see how many people won't buy it.
Speaker 1: No, you don't get the booklets, Brandon, you don't get
Speaker 1: the book. You get it. There is a booklet that
Speaker 1: comes with it, but you don't.
Speaker 2: I mean there's a book.
Speaker 1: A book.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's it. And we don't know if that includes
Speaker 2: all of the same essays that were in all the
Speaker 2: single releases yet yeah, I.
Speaker 1: Mean it's possible. Again, if if that's what they do,
Speaker 1: then you know for sure this was a decision made
Speaker 1: in an Excel sheet, not out of passion. If they
Speaker 1: just reprint the essays and make it like bind it
Speaker 1: in a book, it's like, come on, y'all.
Speaker 2: It does say deluxe packaging with a lavishly illustrated two
Speaker 2: hundred and sixteen page book featuring essays on the films
Speaker 2: by critics, scholars, and authors. So they're all probably just
Speaker 2: re cycled into that book.
Speaker 1: Again. Amazing amazing movies, world changing movies.
Speaker 2: They're incredible.
Speaker 1: Yeah, what the hell are they doing?
Speaker 2: That's not the that's not the issue. The movies are great.
Speaker 2: It's a yeah, this this feels weird again, Like I've
Speaker 2: seen people say this before all day today, all this
Speaker 2: is the holiday gift to give someone who loves movies
Speaker 2: but streams and you have a lot of money. That
Speaker 2: last part on sale in November. This is four hundred
Speaker 2: dollars on a regular Tuesday in August, six hundred and
Speaker 2: forty dollars. That's not a gift price for ninety nine
Speaker 2: point eight percent of Americans.
Speaker 1: Was I on with you when we were doing Currosawa math.
Speaker 2: I don't think so, but I'm dying to hear what
Speaker 2: that means now, No.
Speaker 1: Because we're I was trying to figure out I thought
Speaker 1: it was here, but anyways, I was trying to figure
Speaker 1: out there's twenty five Kiroslawa films. You could say, you
Speaker 1: could argue for twenty seven depending on how you break
Speaker 1: it up. And if they were to do that twenty
Speaker 1: dollars a pop, you're already at you know, you're over
Speaker 1: four hundred bucks, right, ye, So it would be tough
Speaker 1: to put out a cur Sauicet in four K like
Speaker 1: New Transfers beautiful Edition. I would buy it like a
Speaker 1: four hundred dollars Cursauicet I would buy like I own.
Speaker 2: Don't tell them that though. Price it at cheaper please, but.
Speaker 1: Like there at least there's, you know, or something that
Speaker 1: I can wrap my head around, like okay, this is
Speaker 1: like a thing like okay for KB, I'm not arguing
Speaker 1: with you. I get it to Criterion starter kit. But
Speaker 1: there's no Cursaala, there's no Fastbender. I think there's no Gadard.
Speaker 1: There may be one Goodard movie, but like it's not
Speaker 1: really a Criterion starter kit either.
Speaker 2: There's no Chaplain, there's no Wes Anderson, there's none of
Speaker 2: these major directors that they do a lot for.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just forty random movies that like people that
Speaker 1: have gone in the Criterion clauset picked up and we're
Speaker 1: like I love this one. No Lynch, No damn pope
Speaker 1: po Right. My favorite comment in the the reddit post
Speaker 1: was no Armageddon, question Mark, no Bay, no.
Speaker 2: Pay pretty good, Nope, that's pretty good.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's not exactly a Criterion starter kit, sol though
Speaker 1: that's the big one. Yeah, yeah, they chickened out.
Speaker 2: Like I agree, it's it's like a starter kit for
Speaker 2: for art house titles. However, it doesn't it doesn't jive
Speaker 2: with the idea of celebrating an anniversary for this company either.
Speaker 1: Oh jellyfish Eyes.
Speaker 2: I mean god, what else is there to say? Like
Speaker 2: this is this is crazy? Oh that would have been cool.
Speaker 2: Maybe they should have included all the films that have
Speaker 2: never been selected in the Criterion closet. Honestly, that's more interesting.
Speaker 2: People probably have purchased those less Sure.
Speaker 1: It is beautiful art though, Like it's a pretty looking bucks.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean again, like, if I only had five
Speaker 2: of these, I would be stoked on this. I'd go
Speaker 2: sell those five and absolutely pick this up. That would
Speaker 2: be a no brainer. I I don't know. I could
Speaker 2: rant on this for the next hour, but that's not
Speaker 2: it for today. We got some other ones. Let's keep going. Hey,
Speaker 2: Kevin was in the chat. Not sure if he's still here,
Speaker 2: but the Almost Major podcast has also joined the Someone's
Speaker 2: Favorite Production Podcast network. If you've never subscribed Almost Major,
Speaker 2: they are an incredible podcast that I've fallen in love
Speaker 2: with over this last year. They are dedicated to the
Speaker 2: many major studios and the films that they've released. You
Speaker 2: can find great discussions on films like Critters. Critters include
Speaker 2: Spaghetti who's in the chat. Quite often they do an
Speaker 2: episode on Harson alone in the Dark, but I'm a
Speaker 2: cheerleader tons more with some great guests like Mitchell bout Ray,
Speaker 2: Scott Tafoya, Dan Mecha, Katie Rife, and lots of other
Speaker 2: names that you'll recognize. There's Kevin almost major is I
Speaker 2: don't know, one of my favorites. Please go check them out.
Speaker 2: I can't wait till the day that I get to
Speaker 2: be on this podcast because I love the guys that
Speaker 2: do this, such fun commentators up there with they Live
Speaker 2: by Film as two of my favorite podcasts on film overall.
Speaker 1: No, you don't have to say that they do better
Speaker 1: work than we do, y'all. That's a fantastic podcast, but
Speaker 1: it's true they do the same network.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's also some other changes coming to the network
Speaker 2: in the next couple of weeks. We will keep talking
Speaker 2: about them because there's some big things coming, I promise.
Speaker 2: Moving to our next one, how the Grint Stole Christmas? Yes,
Speaker 2: that one. The Boris Karloff title. This is coming on
Speaker 2: four K on October twenty ninth. You can pre order
Speaker 2: this now. This is wild, this is crazy, this is coming.
Speaker 2: I love this. I hope it looks great.
Speaker 1: Another childhood favorite. I mean, I can't tell you how
Speaker 1: many times I've seen this movie.
Speaker 2: And you'll get to see it in four K. That's crazy.
Speaker 1: It's wonderful.
Speaker 2: All right. We got a bunch of Keynote stuff to
Speaker 2: discuss now. First October twenty ninth, they're releasing Buster Keaton's
Speaker 2: Seven Chances and Sherlock Junior. This is going to have
Speaker 2: audio commentaries and then some shorts on here as well.
Speaker 2: I believe these are the same films that were released
Speaker 2: previously through a Cohen Media release, and I don't see
Speaker 2: any difference here, so maybe just the rights laps and
Speaker 2: Keno Classics is now releasing them.
Speaker 1: Just going with the theme of tonight. I think four
Speaker 1: Chances and five Chances is hilarious. I've never made it
Speaker 1: up to seven chances, but I've heard.
Speaker 2: This is good. After so many chances, I just had
Speaker 2: to give up. Oh that was a pretty good callback.
Speaker 2: Next is The Falling Star, coming from Keno on October fifteenth.
Speaker 2: This will have a trailer on it. This one seems
Speaker 2: to have gotten some pretty good reviews at some film festivals,
Speaker 2: including Tell You Ride You Just See This looks nice.
Speaker 1: I love the conversation going on about the Brench here
Speaker 1: in the chat. Stan has one typo in four years
Speaker 1: of being a listening.
Speaker 2: That's funny. Sorry.
Speaker 1: I don't mean to spend too much time on this one,
Speaker 1: but that movie The Fairy sounds super familiar. Is that
Speaker 1: an action movie?
Speaker 2: Fairy?
Speaker 1: That movie sounds very familiar. I won't take up too
Speaker 1: much airtime with.
Speaker 2: This, but oh slapstick and burlesque. Now that you say that,
Speaker 2: I feel like I do remember hearing about the Fairy.
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, okay, no, no, no, it's a romance fun anyways, Steve,
Speaker 1: I've wanted to who I've heard of these directors, Abell
Speaker 1: and Gordon. These are French folks. Yep, I swear there's
Speaker 1: something over there's Oh yeah, this one that I don't
Speaker 1: know how to say it in English, The Falling Star.
Speaker 2: The one on the screen right now?
Speaker 1: Yeah? What was where did this play? Oh shit? I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: my mind's all over the place. But this was like
Speaker 1: at a festival, like a online film festival or something
Speaker 1: that I I the last minute. I didn't get to
Speaker 1: see it, but I remember this is supposed to be
Speaker 1: very like funny and cute and kind of like almost
Speaker 1: like an amally feeling type of comedy from this Abel
Speaker 1: and Gordon folks.
Speaker 2: Yeah, this one looks great, certainly into it. Next one
Speaker 2: is a Mary Start Mary I can't say your last name,
Speaker 2: Mary Steenbergen film from nineteen eighty three called Cross Creek.
Speaker 2: This is coming on blue ray on October fifteenth. I
Speaker 2: also have a ripped torn in this one. We get
Speaker 2: an audio commentary by Julie Kergo and Peter Hancoff look
Speaker 2: back with Mary Steinbergen in this one as well.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I see cover like this and I immediately glaze over.
Speaker 1: I didn't hear anything you just said in the last
Speaker 1: sixty seconds. I think these movies are not for me.
Speaker 1: I was reading the chat. I just can't do it.
Speaker 1: These like kind of I don't even know what these
Speaker 1: are called, these like period piece kind of dramas, Like
Speaker 1: I don't know, but maybe this is wonderful movie, and
Speaker 1: if it is wonderful, I want to know if I
Speaker 1: should see it before Zodiac.
Speaker 2: No, you do not need to see this before Zodiac
Speaker 2: because as far as I'm as far as I'm aware,
Speaker 2: Mary Steinbergen is not the killer Man. Some of these
Speaker 2: comments are pretty great. Next title is Garbo Talks from
Speaker 2: nineteen eighty four, starring and Bancroft. This is gonna have
Speaker 2: an audio commentary Howard as Berger and Steve Mitchell. This
Speaker 2: one also stars Ron Silver and Carrie Fisher, but the
Speaker 2: big name directed by Sidney Limett.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I think this would actually be a pretty
Speaker 1: good match. Sidney Lamett talking about Carbo.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm interested in this one. This is very under
Speaker 2: the radar for Lumet for me.
Speaker 1: Okay, Brandon, Normally I would say I would sign up
Speaker 1: for that, but that means I have to watch like
Speaker 1: hours and hours of anime, which I can't agree to.
Speaker 2: Plus forty Criterion films. Again, well I've.
Speaker 1: Seen most of those probably, but oh Stan, it's okay, okay,
Speaker 1: all right, fair enough.
Speaker 2: Next up is The Boy in the Woods from twenty
Speaker 2: twenty three, coming from Keno on October fifteenth. This tells
Speaker 2: the remarkable true story of Max, a Jewish boy escaping
Speaker 2: Nazi persecution in Eastern Europe. After he's separated from his family,
Speaker 2: Mac finds refuge with Christian peasant Jasco, who hides him
Speaker 2: in plain sight until a Temps stand off with Nazi police.
Speaker 2: Afraid for his own family's life. He sends Max to
Speaker 2: live in the woods, where he learns to survive alone
Speaker 2: with echoes of a grim's fairy tale. Max's experience is
Speaker 2: both terrifying and magical.
Speaker 1: This movie came out last year. Yes, do we need
Speaker 1: another World War two story?
Speaker 2: You know? I'm not sure.
Speaker 1: I don't know, Like I feel like a lot of
Speaker 1: the best stories have been told. What's new about this?
Speaker 1: Was he persecuted? Was he a Jewish kid?
Speaker 2: Actual magic? Chris?
Speaker 1: I don't know. This is going to be lowdown on
Speaker 1: the list.
Speaker 2: I can't fault you there. Next up is the throwback
Speaker 2: for this is going to get the award for the
Speaker 2: most like weird cover art of the night for me.
Speaker 2: This is Will Sasso and Bobby Lee co starring with
Speaker 2: just Tina Machado who is from Six Feet Under. Uh.
Speaker 2: This is coming on October twenty second on Blu Ray
Speaker 2: and Uh, I don't know how to feel about this
Speaker 2: cover art, especially with this super awkward Bobby Lee in
Speaker 2: the corner.
Speaker 1: But that whole bottom image is.
Speaker 2: Dare pretty wild. I'm not sorry.
Speaker 1: Uh No, go ahead, didn't those don't those two guys
Speaker 1: have a podcast together? Bobby Lee pops up on my
Speaker 1: YouTube feed all the time and I never watch him,
Speaker 1: but they try to force his podcast on me.
Speaker 2: This does scream late nineties posters design. It's pretty bad. Dan.
Speaker 1: I do not have a problem with Jews, but I
Speaker 1: do have a problem with the same story being told
Speaker 1: one hundred different times. Like, let me guess it's a
Speaker 1: he's a good person, he's a good kid, like he's
Speaker 1: being treated poorly by the Germans. I don't know. I
Speaker 1: just like I've seen the story before, Like, what's new
Speaker 1: about it?
Speaker 2: Next up? Uh, October twenty second Meryl Streep in Plenty
Speaker 2: from nineteen eighty five. This is gonna have an audio
Speaker 2: commentary by Julie Krugo and Peter Hancoff again conversation with
Speaker 2: the director and this one he is a pretty underseen
Speaker 2: Meryl Streep. Glad this is coming out.
Speaker 1: Also kind of a weird cover.
Speaker 2: Very odd cover. Yeah, but I will check it out.
Speaker 1: She would settle for nothing less, she's huh, Meryl Streep
Speaker 1: in Plenty. She would settle for nothing less, nothing less than.
Speaker 2: Wet than plenty.
Speaker 1: Chris, Yeah, litasers.
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, it's a World War two movie.
Speaker 1: No, no World War two movies made in the I
Speaker 1: don't even this one looks like seventies or eighties. Fine,
Speaker 1: there's still fresh stories now. I'm just saying, in twenty
Speaker 1: twenty three, are there really new stories coming out that
Speaker 1: we haven't heard before? Ah? This is the night I
Speaker 1: get deemed her.
Speaker 2: Well, it all finally caught up with you.
Speaker 1: Bring them all in.
Speaker 2: I love Jews all right. Next title Fluke. This is
Speaker 2: our last title Fluke from nineteen ninety five, getting a
Speaker 2: Blu Ray release on October twenty second from Keno. This
Speaker 2: is a wild story, so, this says Fluke is a
Speaker 2: heartwarming and uplifting tale of puppy reincarnation, directed by Carlo Carlai,
Speaker 2: starring Matthew Modine, Nancy Travis, Eric Stoltz, and the Dogs
Speaker 2: from Full House and Homeward Bound two. This says newborn
Speaker 2: puppy Fluke, waking up on his very first morning, discovers
Speaker 2: a wondrous world of excitement and fun, whether romping with
Speaker 2: his brothers and sisters or curling up by his mother
Speaker 2: for a nat. Fluke is a contended as any young
Speaker 2: pooch can be. But when recurring dreams in a series
Speaker 2: of mishaps trigger memories of a very different world, he
Speaker 2: slowly realizes that he wants at a very different life
Speaker 2: as a man convinced of his previous identity, Fluke said,
Speaker 2: out on an extraordinary journey that leads him back to
Speaker 2: his human family. Holy shit, what is this story?
Speaker 1: Now? This I can get behind. If they said this
Speaker 1: in World War Two, I'm in.
Speaker 2: I yeah. I don't even know what to say about
Speaker 2: this one. Uh yes. We got an audio commentary on
Speaker 2: this with the director in an interview with the director.
Speaker 1: What year did this movie come out? I'm trying to
Speaker 1: this is a nineteen I do. I do like the
Speaker 1: era where they thought that, like these kind of projects
Speaker 1: were getting greenlit, Like can you imagine pitching this and
Speaker 1: the and the producers being like yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 2: Oh man. All right. That is our last announcement for
Speaker 2: the night. As usual, we will cover everything that's coming
Speaker 2: out next Tuesday, just in case you forgot, And next
Speaker 2: Tuesday is kind of a big one. You got furiosa

Speaker 2: Witches Ghosts Scooby Doo in the Alien Evators from Warner Archive.

Speaker 2: what is the way that we said this on the
Speaker 2: show before? And I don't remember the joke, Bob Laflamber
Speaker 2: four K ladowlos Well, I don't remember we were screwing
Speaker 2: with these when we actually announced it. Keino putting both
Speaker 2: of those out. Next up is Mirror Mirror four K
Speaker 2: from Dark Force, Black Mass four K, Chucky Season three
Speaker 2: Northwest passage from Warner Archive. That Dick Tracy Rko collection
Speaker 2: from VCI looks pretty decent. Just Mercy four K, The
Speaker 2: Bat Whispers, the People's Joker from Altered Innocence. Hopefully I
Speaker 2: can finally get that one in. I've been dying to
Speaker 2: see that one. Navajo Joe reprint from Keno harrim scare
Speaker 2: a Mourner Archive. Observing Report from Shout Select, which by
Speaker 2: the way, is thirty dollars for observant report. When that's
Speaker 2: been like a dollar bin title for so very very long.
Speaker 1: That's wild. It's like Paul Blarke coming out at thirty bucks.
Speaker 2: Except Observant Report is a much much better movie than
Speaker 2: Paul Blart. Okay, Idiot's Delight from Warner Archive. The Brief
Speaker 2: Encounters and a Long Farewell from Criterion, Maria True Story
Speaker 2: from Warner Archive, War of the Buttons from Warner Archive.
Speaker 2: Stars Fell On Henrietta from Warner Archive. Ninety nine River

Speaker 2: from Cohen Media. And that's about it. Any of these
Speaker 2: that you got in or about to get in that
Speaker 2: you're excited about there.
Speaker 1: Sir, definitely people's joker for sure. I can't wait to
Speaker 1: see that. I'll actually probably pick up Furiosa. That movie
Speaker 1: was great.
Speaker 2: I've not seen it. I definitely want to check that
Speaker 2: one out myself.
Speaker 1: I can't stop laughing at Dan's comments, like you like
Speaker 1: Game Night a lot, right?
Speaker 2: I adore Game Night. I think Game Night is maybe
Speaker 2: the best comedy of the last I don't know, fifteen years,
Speaker 2: probably Dang.
Speaker 1: Does it have dogs coming back as or people coming
Speaker 1: back as dogs?
Speaker 2: It does not, because it's not nineteen ninety five, and
Speaker 2: we just don't make movies like that anymore. Shame all right,
Speaker 2: Now it is time to get into the main event
Speaker 2: of the night, which is our discussion on overlooked labels,
Speaker 2: and funny enough, most of mine have been mentioned at
Speaker 2: some point in the show tonight, I think. So it's
Speaker 2: just gonna be like hammering home how this happens. We'll
Speaker 2: go back and forth on some labels, and when we
Speaker 2: discuss these, we're gonna give people some of our titles
Speaker 2: that we suggest, We're gonna give some like hints on
Speaker 2: best way to get these, just random thoughts. If you
Speaker 2: have any thoughts on these or recommendations for everybody else
Speaker 2: on the chat, let us know, let us know what
Speaker 2: you think. And then also at the end, any of
Speaker 2: the labels that you think get overlooked. There was a
Speaker 2: handful of these, Like I didn't pick any partner labels
Speaker 2: from Ocanna. I feel like they get enough attention, But
Speaker 2: there are a couple that I would say, month to month,
Speaker 2: they just sort of get overlooked as I don't know
Speaker 2: something that hey, they're putting one out. I'll get them eventually,
Speaker 2: and then people just forget that they exist. Like I
Speaker 2: don't know, fun City almost kind of deserves to be
Speaker 2: on this list. Nowadays. I feel like a lot of
Speaker 2: people forget. They're still doing amazing stuff. But anyways, what
Speaker 2: is your first label? Sorry?
Speaker 1: I want to make I don't know if Dan did
Speaker 1: this on purpose, but so you know, eighty eight is
Speaker 1: like the code where for Nazis, and I have a
Speaker 1: theory that I was a little bit nervous to buy
Speaker 1: idiot films for that reason. So I don't know if
Speaker 1: you did that on purpose, dam but well played.
Speaker 2: If you did, that is exactly why he did it.
Speaker 1: Oh I did.
Speaker 2: Shit?
Speaker 1: Okay, wait did you Brendan? Did you read my mind?
Speaker 1: At Barblos? So there is a ten five to ten
Speaker 1: minute discussion with I E. I I from Arblows that
Speaker 1: we did where he just talks about like how much
Speaker 1: thought goes into the packaging. So they actually go through
Speaker 1: and think of like like what they love the movie obviously,
Speaker 1: and they think about like what the movie would feel
Speaker 1: like and look like, and like, uh, just what the
Speaker 1: cover should be and they choose different style of paper. Uh,
Speaker 1: It's it's crazy like this. This is a truly everything
Speaker 1: they do and they only do two or three a year,
Speaker 1: so everything is extremely curated, a ton of love, and
Speaker 1: I'm just such a fan of them as people obviously
Speaker 1: they're the you know, but I don't always forget the
Speaker 1: guys named Jonathan.
Speaker 2: And David.
Speaker 1: David Marriott is also the guy that does Canadian International,
Speaker 1: so this is more of like a passion project for him.
Speaker 1: It's him and I that do Arbos. There's a tie
Speaker 1: from Deaf Crocodile, a little bit where the Deaf Crocodile
Speaker 1: guys spun off and they were working together under Arbolos
Speaker 1: for a while. Just just good people doing good work
Speaker 1: and movies that I like a lot of Belatar speaking
Speaker 1: of something familier. Yeah, no, I agree, that's I think
Speaker 1: they're They're the one i'd like to highlight. And actually
Speaker 1: there's two movies I want to highlight specifically from them.
Speaker 1: So this one is called Chameleon Street. Please please please
Speaker 1: watch and buy Chamellion Masterpiece.
Speaker 2: Chamelion Street is amazing, right, I.
Speaker 1: Don't know, it's I don't know how it doesn't get
Speaker 1: more love in the like boutique community, right, Eric, I
Speaker 1: can't argue with the logic on that. I mean, yeah, totally,
Speaker 1: I get it. If the movies are great, regardless of
Speaker 1: the packaging. I just love the love and care that
Speaker 1: goes into it. And this is also a movie. Life
Speaker 1: is cheap, but toilet paper is expensive. This is a
Speaker 1: sneaky one of these festival films that came out and
Speaker 1: didn't get a lot of love. But this is just
Speaker 1: to show the So it's a Wayne Wang film. And
Speaker 1: you know, in China, for like good Luck at New
Speaker 1: Year's they have you get people packets with money in it,
Speaker 1: so they included it and just kind of like a
Speaker 1: you know, part of the culture. Anyways, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I love Arbolos.
Speaker 2: Arbelows is great. This is where I'm gonna sound like
Speaker 2: a dirty name dropper right now, and I apologize in advance.
Speaker 2: But I spent a good almost two hours last week
Speaker 2: with David Marriott from Arbelos and Canadian International and just
Speaker 2: gave me so much respect for what they do, both
Speaker 2: Canadian International and Arbelos. If you order Arbelos, he is
Speaker 2: literally like bundling up these titles himself and taking them
Speaker 2: to the post office. It is such a small operation.
Speaker 2: He is working on so much all at once, and
Speaker 2: the amount of I don't know, unsung aspects of these
Speaker 2: smaller labels is perfectly encapsulated in the in Arblos. I
Speaker 2: mean there are titles that a lot of people have
Speaker 2: never heard of, but if you take a chance, they're
Speaker 2: like amazing movies. They don't go on sell all that often,
Speaker 2: but when they do, buy as many as you can
Speaker 2: because it's great to support them. It's great stuff, great
Speaker 2: great packaging, every time, great releases, good special features. Very
Speaker 2: happy with Arbelows.
Speaker 1: I actually think Dan has a good point. Do you
Speaker 1: want to spend thirty seconds talking.
Speaker 2: About are.
Speaker 1: What's the word?
Speaker 2: Our way?
Speaker 1: Our criteria here?
Speaker 2: Yeah, our our qualifications? What did you think about when
Speaker 2: you were trying to list this?
Speaker 1: So in my mind it's clear. But there are certain
Speaker 1: labels that are like coming up to where people just
Speaker 1: instinctively go once a month or follow their announcements, Like
Speaker 1: Severn's not once a month, but like everybody goes to
Speaker 1: Severn for the sale and at least twice a year
Speaker 1: if not pre orders or stuff. Vinegar Syndrome everybody goes.
Speaker 1: They know about it. Obviously, Criteria Arrow is a big one.
Speaker 1: There's these kind of like major labels that are there,
Speaker 1: and I think, what's even though I mean obviously I've
Speaker 1: been promoting a vinegar Syndrome podcast all night. I love them.
Speaker 1: They are cannibalizing the industry a little bit, and there
Speaker 1: is a bit of attention there because and he's like Arblos.
Speaker 1: The first thought is like, well they should be a
Speaker 1: partner label, but like that's not cool, like not everybody
Speaker 1: should just be funneled in under you know, one of
Speaker 1: these other big labels. So yeah, that's that's the criteria.
Speaker 1: In my mind. It is like websites that people wouldn't
Speaker 1: naturally navigate to once a month or on sales or whatever.
Speaker 2: The way that I looked at this was pretty much
Speaker 2: every one of these companies put out titles that I
Speaker 2: have heard people say, I've wanted this film on Blu
Speaker 2: Ray forever and then I've responded say, well X company
Speaker 2: put it out two years ago and it's still in print.
Speaker 2: Here's a link, and they go, oh shit, no way,
Speaker 2: I would love that. I'm gonna buy it right now,
Speaker 2: Like how do we not know about that? With vinegar
Speaker 2: syndrome titles, people don't forget. With Shout Factory titles, people
Speaker 2: know because they've released them three times. With Severn titles,
Speaker 2: like their announcements are an event. Yeah it's a big deal.
Speaker 2: And so, like simonar says, is Ocilloscope Unsung absolutely. I mean,
Speaker 2: speaking of this is I just got this in my
Speaker 2: subscription as an Indigo Girls documentary. I'm stoked on watching this. However,
Speaker 2: how many people know that this is even coming out?
Speaker 2: How many people have heard of this? How many people
Speaker 2: have heard the word oscilloscope and went, that's a boutique
Speaker 2: Blu ray company. Not many? So yeah, I'm gonna I'm
Speaker 2: gonna use that criteria and a couple of these might
Speaker 2: be a little bit odd for some people because I've
Speaker 2: seen Chris's list and I wanted to get some that
Speaker 2: I think fall under this. But a couple of these
Speaker 2: are gonna feel kind of big, like my first one,
Speaker 2: and I just dropped a film for the next one,
Speaker 2: so I'll pick that up after my first one. We
Speaker 2: talked about earlier. This is BFI. BFI is putting out
Speaker 2: seven Samurai. They have so much other stuff that they
Speaker 2: released that people have never checked out. So like, BFI
Speaker 2: released Targets just like Criterion did, and this release of
Speaker 2: Targets is oh much better than the Criterion release of Targets.
Speaker 2: It's got a whole bunch of short films on here.
Speaker 2: It is I believe, no, it's a single film or
Speaker 2: a single disc release, but it's got a long, long
Speaker 2: booklet on the inside. This was I believe, cheaper than
Speaker 2: the Criterion release. Usually it like this outshines everything about
Speaker 2: the Criterion release, So I love this one. Some examples
Speaker 2: of some stuff that they've done that I've loved their
Speaker 2: flip side releases. So this is the short Shark Shocks.
Speaker 2: These are basically shorts that are horror or cult ish
Speaker 2: type type of titles and they're special features on here,
Speaker 2: and there's there's nine or ten different titles on here
Speaker 2: and tons of special features. So on top of all that,
Speaker 2: two discs long booklet, Like I don't know, this is
Speaker 2: not something that Criterion would normally do, but they're like
Speaker 2: the Criterion of the UK kind of this is this
Speaker 2: thirty seven pages long, this is here, so I love that.
Speaker 2: And then they also get some bigger releases for films
Speaker 2: that maybe some people have heard of, but they give
Speaker 2: it this lavish treatment. So like Lhan, this got this
Speaker 2: deluxe box set release from them. This is only a
Speaker 2: blu ray. I think this was done on four K
Speaker 2: by Criterion or somebody now. But again, thick booklet, nice
Speaker 2: special features, tons of special features brand new four K restoration,
Speaker 2: great looking disc, amazing movie, and it's backed by the
Speaker 2: British government. Like supporting this, you can feel good about
Speaker 2: supporting film restoration too. You're you're actually giving money to
Speaker 2: a company that is literally their mission statements about archiving
Speaker 2: the film of a nation that is the whole point.
Speaker 1: And funding the Queen, which is great.
Speaker 2: It's just we got some comments simonar is saying, is
Speaker 2: Nova personally I don't. This is where it's tough. I
Speaker 2: don't even really count Nova Media as a boutique label,
Speaker 2: even though they kind of are, like they didn't produce
Speaker 2: the films, but they're literally just licensing studio discs and
Speaker 2: not doing anything other than putting it in a They're
Speaker 2: putting like a Honda Civic motor in a Rolls Royce body,
Speaker 2: and that feels weird. I don't know. Brendan Timmins. The
Speaker 2: hardest part in this game is having an identity to
Speaker 2: your releases, the point that people implicitly trust the curation aimen.
Speaker 2: That is like the most important part of all this.
Speaker 2: If you want to be a small label and survive,
Speaker 2: you have to have something that people can count on.
Speaker 2: Ronnie says, I mean, I'm a lesbian boutique Blu Ray
Speaker 2: collector and I hadn't even heard of that Indigo Girls
Speaker 2: doc release. And that's because technically I don't even think
Speaker 2: it's released yet unless you're a subscriber. Def Crocodile Mando.
Speaker 2: With the smaller labels that have mastered that aspect fully agreed,
Speaker 2: especially on Monda Macabre. I agree b if I always
Speaker 2: does it right, I guess would have been had they
Speaker 2: not gone under to a point. I also feel like
Speaker 2: they just did a lot of kind of whatever they
Speaker 2: could get their rights for. They almost felt like a
Speaker 2: mill Creek type of label.
Speaker 1: They network for me kind of felt like a twilight time,
Speaker 1: whereas like they they had their following and if you
Speaker 1: followed them, like you follow them, you know, pretty religious
Speaker 1: those Yeah, yeah, but I don't know if they like
Speaker 1: they're like they didn't their releases weren't popping up on
Speaker 1: Booty Blu Ray. I don't know if that's the best
Speaker 1: you know, I get that.
Speaker 2: Uh Terry wants to throw out uh is it pronounced
Speaker 2: Scala Terry or is it skala? Bfi just released that
Speaker 2: and it seems like Severn might be working on a
Speaker 2: release of that. That's not been confirmed, but they've been
Speaker 2: promoting theatrical plays of that. Check out Goos Stories for
Speaker 2: Christmas release from BFI. They're great, yes, uh. And then
Speaker 2: Simmner's pointing out not with everything Noba put out Arrows
Speaker 2: and that's the only way to get it. Didn't that
Speaker 2: have a Korean release already?
Speaker 1: You're talking about Arrow's the one car Wie film.
Speaker 2: I'm not sure anyways, what's your next next company?
Speaker 1: So this is a label that you actually turned me
Speaker 1: on to, so if you were going to okay, sorry,
Speaker 1: just real quick. There's a short and Arrows called The
Speaker 1: Hand that's probably my favorite one car white thing. I
Speaker 1: didn't put it as my number one because it's not
Speaker 1: a full length film, but like it's amazing anyway, So
Speaker 1: check that out if y'all can see that. Um, okay,
Speaker 1: so you turned me on to sell you Lloyd Dreams.
Speaker 1: Uh and I'm a huge So this to me, I
Speaker 1: hope fills the void that Fractured Visions wasn't able to fill.
Speaker 1: Oh like, and maybe he'll come back, like you know, Phil,
Speaker 1: the only reason he's not doing Fractured just because he
Speaker 1: got employed full time by Second Site.
Speaker 2: Well you know, they just put out two new titles
Speaker 2: in the last like six months.
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, I guess it's just like it's he's just
Speaker 1: going about it very deliberately, right, And I like he's
Speaker 1: the best in the UK at special feature creation. I
Speaker 1: mean top three, right, I mean in terms of just
Speaker 1: like putting together a disc like the second site stuff
Speaker 1: is meticulous, right, amazing. Yeah, And so for him, I wanted,
Speaker 1: like you know, him to be a more prolific label,
Speaker 1: and I hope that Cellular Dreams fills that gap because
Speaker 1: they're putting out similar movies. It's like a lot of
Speaker 1: genre films. It seems like Italian genre. They're starting off.
Speaker 1: It's a French company, right, so maybe they'll get into
Speaker 1: more than just Italian stuff. But can't I can't wait.
Speaker 1: This is a Bruno Nicola. I'm sorry, a Anthony Ascott,
Speaker 1: but that's not the director's real name. What is the
Speaker 1: the Case of the Bloody Iris? What's the guy's name?
Speaker 1: Is gonna drive me crazy if y'all.
Speaker 2: Know Giuliano Carnameo is the director.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, going by Anthony, Yeah yeah Carnameo.
Speaker 1: Thank you, But you said your words were the most
Speaker 1: one of the most beautiful four K transfers you've ever seen. Yes,
Speaker 1: so let's celebrate Celluloid Dreams.
Speaker 2: Celluloid Dreams is uh exciting. That's the way I'm gonna
Speaker 2: say it. They are definitely exciting. The about page on
Speaker 2: their website right now says, since the inception of Celluloid
Speaker 2: Dreams in early twenty twenty three by Lucas Hankel, we
Speaker 2: have been hand picking underserved movies we cherish so we
Speaker 2: can allow more viewers to experience these films in the
Speaker 2: best possible quality. We give these films the respect, love
Speaker 2: and care they deserve, with brand new transfer and restorations
Speaker 2: to ensure they do not only match today's home video standards,
Speaker 2: but to help preserve them for future viewers and help
Speaker 2: rescue them from potential deterioration and obscurity, which they absolutely
Speaker 2: did with this first title. Now, unfortunately, that's the only
Speaker 2: title they've put out, so there's not a lot that
Speaker 2: we can rave about. They have announced that Black Belly
Speaker 2: the Transla is going to be coming out as well. However,
Speaker 2: we don't even know what their second title is going
Speaker 2: to be. That one is being worked on currently. Black
Speaker 2: Belly came back and they were not happy with the restoration.
Speaker 2: That is going to be I believe the third or
Speaker 2: fourth title now, So we shall see what comes out soon.
Speaker 2: Hopefully we hear word soon because I know they're working
Speaker 2: on special features because I got somebody to work on
Speaker 2: the disc for them. Yeah, these are looking really great.
Speaker 2: My next one again was mentioned earlier a couple times,
Speaker 2: and I really got to throw out some love for
Speaker 2: many aspects of this film. But I'm gonna trash all
Speaker 2: over the cover art because we always do this when
Speaker 2: we bring this up. Cohen Media Group. The love the
Speaker 2: label hate the Giant Sea. Let's get rid of the
Speaker 2: sea Cohen. Let's do something different about that. They're usually
Speaker 2: this Silver Sea or this Red Sea. And so I've
Speaker 2: got these two titles here. The first is The Old
Speaker 2: Dark House. This movie's amazing. If you've never seen it,
Speaker 2: check out The Old Dark House. And that's really what
Speaker 2: I wanted to go off of. They pretty much only
Speaker 2: release great films. Yeah, like literally everything they do is
Speaker 2: just fantastic. The Old Dark House is a really great disc.
Speaker 2: And then this next one, Women Make Film. I think
Speaker 2: this is two discs. Oh gosh, no, it's three. I
Speaker 2: never got to the third disc There is so much
Speaker 2: in this it is crazy to think about. This has
Speaker 2: eight hundred and forty minutes of content in these that
Speaker 2: are the actual films that they're trying to promote. They
Speaker 2: do so much incredible work. I really hope people check
Speaker 2: out con Media. Obviously, they're a partner label of Keno,
Speaker 2: and a lot of people overlook that when you go
Speaker 2: to a Keno sale you can get these for literally
Speaker 2: like nine nine. Yeah, there's so much work that goes
Speaker 2: into the to these discs. To get them for ten
Speaker 2: dollars is astonishing. They have some major directors. They've done Jakravett,
Speaker 2: They've done Buster Keaton titles, they've done oh gosh, there's
Speaker 2: one more director that I wanted to bring up, and
Speaker 2: I totally forgot media.
Speaker 1: But they they kind of like, there's a label, this
Speaker 1: is a great I don't know if you did this
Speaker 1: on purpose, but this is a great partner to one
Speaker 1: of the ones I want to bring up in a minute,
Speaker 1: because Cohen is one of the few labels that's really
Speaker 1: focusing on like old Hollywood and like, yes, really truly
Speaker 1: like amazing movies that from from kind of any era.
Speaker 1: I guess, yes, yeah, I can't paste links in here?
Speaker 1: Is that? Which is fine? I was going to paste
Speaker 1: a link to their story or just for people to
Speaker 1: scran through and kind of get a sense of what
Speaker 1: Cohen Media. Yeah, is there a reason I can't post
Speaker 1: links though? Is it like a restriction on.
Speaker 2: The I think YouTube does not allow anybody to do it.
Speaker 1: That's why.
Speaker 2: Okay, unless it's the host.
Speaker 1: Fair enough, then it was gonna be a link to
Speaker 1: my only fans.
Speaker 2: Page, but we'll put that in the chat later.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Cohen's great, they want and they've been around for
Speaker 1: a long time, too.
Speaker 2: Long time, And Okay, I wasn't gonna bring this up,
Speaker 2: but since we talked about like syncing up on some
Speaker 2: of these and being partnered on some of these, there's
Speaker 2: a rumor that the person that owns Coen Media Group
Speaker 2: is the guy that bought Crezone in the UK, and
Speaker 2: that's the reason we've been getting these massive director's box sets,
Speaker 2: because he saw this vision for this in the UK
Speaker 2: and wanted to put out these lavish special editions. Anybody
Speaker 2: can track that down and actually substantiate that, Please let
Speaker 2: me know, send me a link, find a way to
Speaker 2: be able to put that out. I would love to
Speaker 2: be able to talk about that in a way that
Speaker 2: is legitimate, and I don't want to report on it
Speaker 2: unless I see that that's provable. And I can't get
Speaker 2: the people from Cohen to answer me.
Speaker 1: So I was gonna go, all right, send their hold
Speaker 1: tight because I want to get back to what you said.
Speaker 1: But I do want to shine some light since we're
Speaker 1: on Cohen, let me go first to Flicker Alley. Ooh,
Speaker 1: good choice, because when they put their mind and heart
Speaker 1: into a project, the stuff they do is insane. Like
Speaker 1: there we always talk about special features on a disc,
Speaker 1: and they certainly do, you know, featurettes and stuff, but
Speaker 1: more of their energy. Jeff Messino is a pretty much
Speaker 1: a one man show. And I mean he has partners
Speaker 1: that help him. He does partnerships with Lobster whatever it's
Speaker 1: called Lobster Films, I think, but they own they have
Speaker 1: a big archive, and he works with all the national archives.
Speaker 1: But I just want to call out two sets just
Speaker 1: to give a sense of what he does. So he
Speaker 1: put out five DVDs of one hundred and seventy three
Speaker 1: films from George Milay. Like that's crazy, right, Like yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, people give him a little bit of shit
Speaker 1: because he's still putting out DVDs. But like, I mean,
Speaker 1: it doesn't in this case, it doesn't matter if you
Speaker 1: you know, it truly doesn't matter. Like they're not going
Speaker 1: to look better on blu ray. I guess they stand
Speaker 1: a little taller than the blue rays. So that's obnoxious.
Speaker 1: But like one hundred and seventy three movies that will
Speaker 1: never other be released otherwise. So and then the other
Speaker 1: one I want to call out is Julian du Vivier.
Speaker 1: So he put out a beautiful of Julian da Vivier,
Speaker 1: who's kind of one of the forefront of like French cinema.
Speaker 1: Oh cool, that's great, Yeah, yeah, good, good to know.
Speaker 1: But yeah, it's this is a beautiful release. This is
Speaker 1: not one hundred and seventy three movies. This is let's
Speaker 1: see two four six eight nine foot feature length films
Speaker 1: and a bunch of shorts. And again, I think what
Speaker 1: Jeff focuses on as opposed to having like I don't
Speaker 1: even know if he has a single commentary on here,
Speaker 1: But what he does instead of that is he just
Speaker 1: puts on more movies and so you know the book
Speaker 1: that typically gives context, and he has some video essays
Speaker 1: and some of those things, and some of the There
Speaker 1: are some films he puts out with commentaries, but it's
Speaker 1: not so much that he just kind of like he
Speaker 1: goes all in and puts out these really masterful editions
Speaker 1: of either a director or a famous actor. There was
Speaker 1: a I can't remember the name. Now there's a famous
Speaker 1: actor who's in like, you know, one hundred pirate movies
Speaker 1: back in the teens, and he has a bunch of
Speaker 1: his movie I don't know, you just love I love
Speaker 1: the work Jeff does.
Speaker 2: I just had that name and now it escaped me.
Speaker 2: That releast looked really good too.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's good.
Speaker 2: I will say for Flicker Alley, one thing that intimidates
Speaker 2: people is they are a little bit pricey. Sure, their
Speaker 2: average price is usually about thirty five dollars, and they
Speaker 2: don't go on sale all that often, and when they do,
Speaker 2: their sale price is usually like twenty seven twenty eight bucks. However,
Speaker 2: and I hate to lean on this aspect of like
Speaker 2: it's a feel good story, but Flicker Alley is also
Speaker 2: one of those companies that you are you are genuinely
Speaker 2: funding archiving some of the most important films as the
Speaker 2: foundation of film history and other places just are not
Speaker 2: doing it like this, So it's something you can feel
Speaker 2: good about spending a little bit more and understanding that
Speaker 2: you're contributing in a positive way.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Next is a Agen B company that I believe literally
Speaker 2: everything they've ever released is region free. Even though it
Speaker 2: says Region B on the back, I think it says
Speaker 2: Region B. No, it's it says ABC on the back.
Speaker 2: Even so all of their titles that I have, and
Speaker 2: I believe everything they've ever released is all unlocked, region free.
Speaker 2: And I got to talk about another partner label, this
Speaker 2: one of Aero Video, and that partner is Second Run DVD.
Speaker 2: Now Second Run DVD. They they released like mostly some
Speaker 2: really great check films, Check New Wave. They do a
Speaker 2: lot of European cinema. They have incredible special features on
Speaker 2: their discs. They they've done a couple of really great
Speaker 2: box sets. This is one that came out fairly recently.
Speaker 2: You'll recognize the name on this because he's gotten some
Speaker 2: love over the last year. So tons of information in here,
Speaker 2: some great films, lots of special features again on everything,
Speaker 2: great restorations. But the biggest highlight for me when Arrow
Speaker 2: sales go up You can purchase Second Run DVD titles
Speaker 2: from the Aero Video website and they're ten bucks or
Speaker 2: ten pounds whatever. That's amazing for like a really great,
Speaker 2: full blown boutique release. Almost all of them have booklets.
Speaker 2: They all pretty much have like bonus films or bonus shorts,
Speaker 2: lots of special features. They get very cheap, very quickly,
Speaker 2: and as far as I'm aware, If somebody knows different,
Speaker 2: tell me, but I believe their booklets are always available
Speaker 2: in their releases so you don't have to worry about
Speaker 2: them selling out, which is a big, big selling point
Speaker 2: for me. Absolutely love that aspect Second Run and their
Speaker 2: name is Second Run DVD. They don't just sell DVDs. Obviously,
Speaker 2: these are all Blu ray, They're all high def, all
Speaker 2: solid releases. Please check out Second Run. They do not
Speaker 2: get enough attention. I know that, you know. I post
Speaker 2: all of the announcements to the Disconnected channel, but still
Speaker 2: most people that follow this hobby all follow down on
Speaker 2: the discs down of the disc never promotes anything from
Speaker 2: Second Run, and it's embarrassing like they are one of
Speaker 2: the more consistent labels out there and do not ever
Speaker 2: get enough sales, do not get enough love, and I
Speaker 2: really hope they stick around for a long time. But
Speaker 2: because they don't get that attention, they're kind of in danger.
Speaker 2: Most likely, they're probably not even selling, you know, fifteen
Speaker 2: hundred copies of most titles within the first two years,
Speaker 2: and when you can get them for ten pounds during
Speaker 2: an arrow sale, there's no reason that that should be
Speaker 2: the case.
Speaker 1: To put that in perspective, Adam from Third Window was
Speaker 1: saying it takes him about a year and a half
Speaker 1: to sell a thousand copies of some of his popular ones. Right,
Speaker 1: So if that's you know, and I mean I think
Speaker 1: Third Windows in that interesting space. They're certainly not a
Speaker 1: major but I mean I think people at least are
Speaker 1: aware of those, and they're beautiful boxes that he puts
Speaker 1: out and stuff. So you know, if it's who knows
Speaker 1: how many Second Round putting out, but they're not making
Speaker 1: a ton of money, it's a great call. Yeah, Okay,
Speaker 1: so how many more do you want to do? I've
Speaker 1: got five more, but we could shorten it down to
Speaker 1: two if you wanted.
Speaker 2: I have four more, all right, great for more?
Speaker 1: So Dan, you read my mind earlier. So I want
Speaker 1: to call that movie the title I want to highlight
Speaker 1: is they put out the Kingdom Trilogy from a Buncher,
Speaker 1: So this is the only thing that I have yet
Speaker 1: to watch from Vuncher. Running through all of his films
Speaker 1: was an absolute nightmare emotionally, but he is a master.
Speaker 2: I was hanging on to hear what word you were
Speaker 2: going to use there.
Speaker 1: But you know, they have like movies in this interesting
Speaker 1: space where I mean everybody knows movie as a streaming channel.
Speaker 1: But like they got decision to leave, they have the
Speaker 1: physical release for that. They got the physical release for Benedetta,
Speaker 1: for Burgman Island, for After Sun. I mean, they have
Speaker 1: major festival movies like that's a They're building a brand
Speaker 1: and their releases are great. I've never had any complaints
Speaker 1: on quality of transfer or quality of disc or you know,
Speaker 1: authoring issues or anything. I mean, they know what they're.
Speaker 2: Doing and they're putting out titles in both the UK
Speaker 2: and the US, which is a big deal for a
Speaker 2: lot of these companies. Ronnie, Yes, Chris is frozen on
Speaker 2: video for sure, even though I can hear him just fine.
Speaker 2: We were able to see titles that they can do
Speaker 2: more for than Criterion decision to leave their release of
Speaker 2: decision to leave is better than the Criterion release. Movie.
Speaker 2: Movie is a great, great company. And beyond that, they
Speaker 2: do solid special features. They're fairly inexpensive. You can get
Speaker 2: them in orbit, and then when they come out in
Speaker 2: the US, there are lots of places that you can
Speaker 2: get the movie titles. So yeah, Movie is an incredible
Speaker 2: call out. Thank you for that, Chris.
Speaker 1: And I think people forget that they're kind of the
Speaker 1: good guys. I mean, they were around, you know, they're
Speaker 1: They're not like some major corporation. They're just out there
Speaker 1: trying to promote films.
Speaker 2: So and beyond that, they have their own streaming service,
Speaker 2: which is one of the better streaming services. It's extremely
Speaker 2: human curated, none of this algorithm stuff. They have titles
Speaker 2: that they put up that literally somebody is selecting for them. Oh,
Speaker 2: there you go. Eric was calling it out right as
Speaker 2: I said it. Brendan is out. Have a good night. Brendan.
Speaker 2: Did Criterion put out decision to leave? I believe they did.
Speaker 2: I didn't misspeak on that, right.
Speaker 1: I don't know. Let me check.
Speaker 2: I Oh, it's just oh, it's just movie. Oh I'm sorry.
Speaker 2: I just realized I was thinking of driving my car,
Speaker 2: not decision to leave.
Speaker 1: I was accused of being racist for the whole episode
Speaker 1: I have.
Speaker 2: So yeah, that was Criterion in the US movie in
Speaker 2: the UK. Uh, the movie release has like a three
Speaker 2: hour making of and then the Criterion was like kind
Speaker 2: of light on special features. Yes, Chris, that will come
Speaker 2: out at fifty percent off if they do it at
Speaker 2: fifty of Uh, okay, So my next one. We covered
Speaker 2: an announcement from them tonight. But not enough people talk
Speaker 2: about Cult Epics. Cult Epics has released some really great
Speaker 2: titles Death Laid an Egg, Is this really great? Uh?
Speaker 2: Uh what's the guy's name? Julia Questi title? And uh,
Speaker 2: it's It's a really really great film. They've got some
Speaker 2: great special features on here. One of my favorite titles
Speaker 2: from Cult Epics is Angst. I'm really hoping this gets
Speaker 2: an upgrade to release someday. I feel like this would
Speaker 2: do very well on four K. But the amount of
Speaker 2: work that Nico at Cult Epics puts into his releases
Speaker 2: is really telling of how much you care about your
Speaker 2: films in your catalog when you do what he does.
Speaker 2: And the crazy thing Colt Epics has been around for
Speaker 2: oh gosh, I think we're going on like twenty seven years.
Speaker 2: I never remember what the exact number is from the
Speaker 2: interview because he blends a little bit on his timeline
Speaker 2: because he worked for a video store before doing the
Speaker 2: Cult Epics thing, and he was doing bootleg vhs and
Speaker 2: stuff like that. But Cult Epics has tons of incredible
Speaker 2: titles that they put out throughout the years, Betty Page
Speaker 2: titles that nobody else has released, some really great jolly titles,
Speaker 2: some really like underground cult stuff, and then some of
Speaker 2: the more like obscure art house like erotically charged European
Speaker 2: releases that nobody else releases. You can find a lot
Speaker 2: of those on Cult Epics and they're amazing movies. Strongly,
Speaker 2: strongly recommend Cold Epics. However, again their website is pure
Speaker 2: dumpster fire. Do not buy straight from their website unless
Speaker 2: you want like an exclusive release. MVD does sales on
Speaker 2: Cult Epics kind of often, usually like twice a year.
Speaker 2: You can pick up a ton of stuff from their catalog,
Speaker 2: absolutely worth picking up. Then you can get them on Grindhouse,
Speaker 2: Diabolic Orbit, everybody great titles. Check out more from Could Epics.
Speaker 1: All right, I'm going to go with one that you
Speaker 1: can add a lot of context Toure. Obviously you have
Speaker 1: ties to Terror Vision, but I want to call out
Speaker 1: these bad boys so Grave Face Video. I think I'm
Speaker 1: excited for them because they have like The River is
Speaker 1: as the kind of film that would probably tend to
Speaker 1: get lost in the cracks. It's it's a simple story.
Speaker 1: It's like a I even know exactly how to describe it.
Speaker 1: It's like it's kind of like every every these people,
Speaker 1: it's like groundhog Day. Sorry, thank you, I couldn't think
Speaker 1: of it. It's like groundhog Day a little bit, where
Speaker 1: they keep you living the same thing and they all
Speaker 1: have awareness that this is happening, and so they're trying
Speaker 1: to like fit in as much as they can in
Speaker 1: the time before it resets and it gets, you know,
Speaker 1: a little crazier each time. But if they're putting out
Speaker 1: sort of modern day, you know, art house kind of
Speaker 1: films or or festival films and nice packaging, I'm here
Speaker 1: for it. So I'm excited to see what else where
Speaker 1: this line goes.
Speaker 2: I will say the art on these have been amazing
Speaker 2: so far. All the art is hand drawn by Chloe,
Speaker 2: which is Ryan Grayface's wife at Terror Vision. The packaging
Speaker 2: on these are incredibly unique. You're not gonna find these
Speaker 2: at any other boutique. Blue Ray up company. They are
Speaker 2: absolutely doing really great work on that front. But the movies,
Speaker 2: this is where Gray Face is really going to deliver
Speaker 2: on the goods. So there is there is so much
Speaker 2: coming from this line that I'm so excited about. I mean,
Speaker 2: there are documentaries coming. Big Top Pee Wee is going
Speaker 2: to be under this line when it comes out eventually,
Speaker 2: that's coming out as a four K river is astonishing.
Speaker 2: Donning is a really great release. Everything that is a
Speaker 2: part of this is such I don't know, it's overlooked
Speaker 2: in so many different ways, even like Big Top Pee Wee.
Speaker 2: It's a big it's a Pee Wee Herman title, but
Speaker 2: it was never even released on Blu ray, and so
Speaker 2: Gray Face scooped it up and we're putting it out
Speaker 2: on four K Like that's like, that's a huge, huge deal.
Speaker 2: There are titles coming that are gonna blow people's minds
Speaker 2: that they were able to acquire and are gonna be
Speaker 2: under this line. Beyond that, the the random underseen films
Speaker 2: that we'll play at like three film festivals and then
Speaker 2: never be seen again is going to make some people
Speaker 2: very happy with these. I will, I don't know, I
Speaker 2: will champion the Gray Face titles till the day I die.
Speaker 2: The River Dock or the River Disc is great. We
Speaker 2: have a visual essay on it that I'm pretty proud of,
Speaker 2: very happy with it. It's a great movie. Same director
Speaker 2: that did Beyond the Infinite two Minutes and it's the
Speaker 2: same writer as that film. And what is the other one.
Speaker 2: I can't think of it right now, but it's it's
Speaker 2: another one. It's another time now your race. It's just
Speaker 2: because they're Asian. Yeah, the other one is great and
Speaker 2: I can't think of it right now, but it's a
Speaker 2: stupendous release. Everybody should check out Gray Face. They do,
Speaker 2: they do great stuff. But the big thing too, I
Speaker 2: think they're the first one that we've talked about as
Speaker 2: part of this that you can subscribe to. You can
Speaker 2: get a ten film Gray Face subscription with a really
Speaker 2: nice shirt and get the next ten releases of what
Speaker 2: they're putting out. I am very happy with their upcoming
Speaker 2: ten titles, and I think that most people would be too.
Speaker 2: It's a very I don't know, it's a really high
Speaker 2: quality mix of genres. So if you are somebody that
Speaker 2: doesn't get stuck in one lane. Like I know a
Speaker 2: lot of people just love horror and Colt this is
Speaker 2: probably not the subscription for you. If you're a big
Speaker 2: fan of trying everything. This is kind of like the
Speaker 2: perfect way to blind by a lot of stuff and
Speaker 2: really fall in love with underseen cinema. Great. My next
Speaker 2: one you said, Summertime Machine Blues. Thank you so much, Terry.
Speaker 2: That's the one that was the other title I was
Speaker 2: trying to think of same writer. You mentioned these guys earlier,
Speaker 2: and I mentioned these during the announcements of something as well.
Speaker 2: You said you count them not quite as a major,
Speaker 2: but I had to show out Third Window. Adam through
Speaker 2: Third Window is he is like the ultimate one man band.
Speaker 2: I mean the fact that he does all of like
Speaker 2: most of the art that doesn't have key art already.
Speaker 2: He does translations for subtitles himselves, he does all of
Speaker 2: the acquisitions, he does festival promotions for these films. He
Speaker 2: is on the ground doing everything. And two of my
Speaker 2: favorite releases from them one Cut of the Dead. They
Speaker 2: brought this single handedly to the US, and this film
Speaker 2: exploded because of Adams really really shouting this out. And
Speaker 2: this is this is an amazing movie. And then you
Speaker 2: shouted out their box sets. I had to bring up
Speaker 2: their Toshiaki Toyota two thousand and five twenty one box set.
Speaker 2: This one what did they call it the Later Years
Speaker 2: or whatever? Oh, it's just the the years. But yes,
Speaker 2: I believe they've done two different box sets of Toyota films.
Speaker 2: I prefer this one ever, Sol And I think all
Speaker 2: of the films have gotten standards. Now there's good bonus features.
Speaker 2: We got commentaries and making of stuff like that. Adam,
Speaker 2: Adam knows how to pick a film, and if you
Speaker 2: love Japanese cinema, this is the label made for you.
Speaker 2: I will shout out Eric, who says Sam Degan's interview
Speaker 2: with Adam is a must listen for a multitude of reasons.
Speaker 2: They show you why running these companies is difficult. They
Speaker 2: show you why releasing these films sometimes is literally a miracle,
Speaker 2: and that one episode will make you fall in love
Speaker 2: with Adam and want to buy everything that he does,
Speaker 2: because man, he again puts his whole life behind some
Speaker 2: of these films, literally, and then they take four years
Speaker 2: to sell two thousand copies and it's like, what are
Speaker 2: we doing? Like this is a great movie. The other
Speaker 2: big thing. They're also a partner label of Arrow in
Speaker 2: the UK. You can buy them through Tarak Distribution, but
Speaker 2: also they go on sale during the Arrow sales, so
Speaker 2: you can pick up a lot of them for fairly inexpensive.
Speaker 2: The standard editions are still great, they're great films, great discs.
Speaker 2: Go for it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he gets more money if you buy through Terra Cotta,
Speaker 1: but if your budget conscious, it's cheaper on Arrow.
Speaker 2: So agreed.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Okay, you might disagree with this one being unsung
Speaker 1: because people go to their website all the time anyways.
Speaker 1: But I want to call it Neon Eagle just simply
Speaker 1: because Diabolic has like so much going on. I don't think,
Speaker 1: I mean, their titles have sold well, and like I
Speaker 1: think generally they're going to be okay. But chance to
Speaker 1: shout out Jesse, chance to shout out the great movies
Speaker 1: that he chooses for the Neon Eagle line. It's a
Speaker 1: partnership with Jared Fremando, so you're kind of supporting just
Speaker 1: like good people. I don't think they have any subscription
Speaker 1: or anything like that. They're they're just doing a few
Speaker 1: films a year. But I every everything I've seen from
Speaker 1: Neon Eagle is great and uh, anyways, this is a
Speaker 1: it's a label. I just have a lot of respect
Speaker 1: for early on in their in their tenure.
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is this is a company that people again
Speaker 2: should feel good about because it's people that actually care
Speaker 2: about all of these films.
Speaker 1: Great and Terry, I'll just say, I feel like you
Speaker 1: have to put a caveat the the Obshi films. You know,
Speaker 1: he's the guy that made House to I think everyone
Speaker 1: knows that, but like he I don't.
Speaker 2: I I like his.
Speaker 1: Movies, but I do feel like you have to put
Speaker 1: a somewhat of a description as to what you're about
Speaker 1: to get in.
Speaker 2: They're not accessible, No.
Speaker 1: I don't think. I mean they're great though, and like
Speaker 1: they I'm so glad. I'm so happy he's getting, you know,
Speaker 1: some some more. Really, I mean his film should be released.
Speaker 1: But yeah, one of the movies is like straight collage
Speaker 1: kind of for like thirty percent of it. Anyways, but.
Speaker 2: Yeah, good show on Eagles great. I honestly my only
Speaker 2: complaint on the On Eagles. I wish they did more
Speaker 2: than two or three titles a year. I know, I know,
Speaker 2: but also they've only been around for just over a year,
Speaker 2: so I imagine they'll probably ramp up ever so slightly.
Speaker 2: All Right, speaking of people that put a lot into
Speaker 2: films that get overlooked, I have to give a massive
Speaker 2: shout out here to film Masters. Now this is a
Speaker 2: company that people will recognize the logo at the bottom
Speaker 2: here because it's very similar to the film Detective. And
Speaker 2: that is because they they were the film Detective and
Speaker 2: they sold the brand and then started over because that
Speaker 2: whole thing kind of sucked. But they are doing great
Speaker 2: films like this whole release of The Killer Shrews and
Speaker 2: the Monster. It comes with a long book, and they
Speaker 2: are I believe both of these republic domain and they
Speaker 2: got you know, we got restored prints, including a restored
Speaker 2: four K scan of the giant Guila Monster. And the
Speaker 2: fact that they're putting these out and on release day
Speaker 2: these are like eighteen dollars is so crazy. Like both
Speaker 2: films when they do double features get bonus features. They
Speaker 2: are full length features. They they have documentaries, they've got interviews,
Speaker 2: they've got visual essays. Special shout out to this single
Speaker 2: disc release that Will and I are on for the
Speaker 2: Swiss conspiracy. They are they're choosing films that are in
Speaker 2: the public domain. Sometimes they're choosing films that people saw
Speaker 2: in like the eighties, once or twice and then just
Speaker 2: forgot about. And then they'll get announced and people go, no, way,
Speaker 2: I saw that when I was a kid on late
Speaker 2: night TV. I've been wanting to see that again for years,
Speaker 2: and then they'll put it out and it's like, we
Speaker 2: got a four K scan of this random ass movie
Speaker 2: that you saw on a drive in nineteen eighty one,
Speaker 2: and suddenly it's this like memory inducing machine that people
Speaker 2: are loving Filmmasters. The people that work there are incredible.
Speaker 2: They're incredible to work with, they love what they do. Again,
Speaker 2: a very small company, Please please check them out. Filmmasters
Speaker 2: deserves a hell of a lot more love.
Speaker 1: That's great. They've been around for a long time too, right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: in different iterations.
Speaker 2: But yeah, definitely.
Speaker 1: Somebody who has not been around for a long time
Speaker 1: but has hit the ground running is a company I
Speaker 1: mentioned earlier era forty four, forty four nice. So I'm
Speaker 1: showing off the release of Scissor Penis and Run and Kill.
Speaker 1: My seven year old was home and I opened up
Speaker 1: a copy of Scissor Penis and we had a lot
Speaker 1: of laughs about that. I did not show him in
Speaker 1: the movie. But can I show this on YouTube or is.
Speaker 2: It gonna get I think you're good, Okay.
Speaker 1: It's just great artwork. Anyways, Sam and Logan have been
Speaker 1: on your show twice, I think, if not more, we've
Speaker 1: had them on twice. They're just like they're just two kids.
Speaker 1: I mean, I hate to call them that because I
Speaker 1: mean they don't like to really talk about their age,
Speaker 1: but like they're fresh out of film school or in
Speaker 1: kind of art school, and they're just they love movies,
Speaker 1: and so they're putting out the movies they love and
Speaker 1: they're they're amazing, like the they're my only like, if
Speaker 1: there's a complaint, it's that they throw like too much
Speaker 1: stuff in the itsery age release. But I mean that's
Speaker 1: not really a complaint. It's just they're incredible. Features a
Speaker 1: lot of chot skis and and merch, which you know,
Speaker 1: not massive on the merch side. But I love the
Speaker 1: fact that the movies are coming out. I love the
Speaker 1: fact that these two, these two young men are doing
Speaker 1: such a good job right out of the gate, and
Speaker 1: I hope they're run for a long time.
Speaker 2: Very very solid lineup of film choice from them so far,
Speaker 2: like films that people have been dying to get, and
Speaker 2: somehow they've clawed some major titles away from other labels
Speaker 2: that wanted them. So they've done very well so far.
Speaker 2: I think I'm about to list probably the only label
Speaker 2: of the night that people have literally not everybody, but
Speaker 2: I'm sure a couple people in the chat have probably
Speaker 2: never heard of them. This is a UK label that
Speaker 2: I believe is associated with Indicator if I remember right,
Speaker 2: they launched I don't know five, five or six years
Speaker 2: ago and they've only got out like twelve or fifteen titles,
Speaker 2: and that is the company Anti Worlds, and they have
Speaker 2: very similar design literally down to the coloring down to
Speaker 2: the font choice. The difference is their spine numbers go
Speaker 2: in negative order. But their releases are amazing. They always
Speaker 2: have incredible artwork. They are more modern films than what
Speaker 2: Indicator usually works with. They generally are multidisc releases with
Speaker 2: bonus films, lots of shorts. They usually have really great booklets.
Speaker 2: This is one I brought down to highlight this because
Speaker 2: it's got some good art, but it's a lot of
Speaker 2: writing and they're extra long, which again some of these
Speaker 2: labels that put out booklets could really learn from stuff
Speaker 2: like this, and the film choice so far has been amazing.
Speaker 2: They were the first ones that released what is the
Speaker 2: dogs title Dogs who Wear Pants or whatever. It was
Speaker 2: released by a Vinegar Syndrome partner label as well. One second,
Speaker 2: I hate putting people into spen suspense like this Dogs
Speaker 2: Don't Wear Pants. They released it in the UK and
Speaker 2: it's an incredible blue disc. Bonus features galore are very cheap.
Speaker 2: They They've released things that you could get like autograph
Speaker 2: copies from their website, and Diabolic and Orbit carried them
Speaker 2: for a while way back in the day, like right
Speaker 2: after they announced, but I feel like people just don't
Speaker 2: hear about them. They also don't put out very many titles.
Speaker 2: I think they've only released two in the last like
Speaker 2: year eighteen months, so there's it's it would be really
Speaker 2: easy to catch up with them, and in fact, I
Speaker 2: think they did during their last title announcement. I think
Speaker 2: they did a promo where you could buy all of
Speaker 2: their limited editions for an insanely cheap price. It was
Speaker 2: literally like ten or twelve pounds per film, which is
Speaker 2: so cheap. Yeah, I highly recommend checking them out. It
Speaker 2: is Anti Worlds is the name of the label, and
Speaker 2: they're just great. They they are above and beyond with
Speaker 2: the special features, just like Indicator, one of those that,
Speaker 2: Like I guarantee somebody in the chat has never heard
Speaker 2: of Anti Worlds and I hope you check them out.
Speaker 2: Their website is just like Indicators, super easy to navigate,
Speaker 2: highly recommend.
Speaker 1: I wonder if Anthony gets involved in the the special
Speaker 1: features for that the production for those could be because
Speaker 1: they but they don't sell through Indicator website, right, they
Speaker 1: do not know? Interesting? Yeah, that artwork for dogs don't
Speaker 1: wear pants. They're release it. That is awesome.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's really great and pretty much all of it
Speaker 2: is great. They've got reversible art like this one. It's
Speaker 2: this is a double feature title. So they did Charmed
Speaker 2: for Life is the main title that they were releasing,
Speaker 2: but if you've heard of the other film, they also
Speaker 2: did Go Down Death and it's just like that's really
Speaker 2: good art for a film like this.
Speaker 1: Man. That film is wild that just came out through
Speaker 1: a partner release.
Speaker 2: It did. Yeah, and there's a there's a picture that
Speaker 2: will probably remind you of that film Charmed for Life.
Speaker 1: It's I don't want to say it's hard to watch
Speaker 1: in like a and like content perspective, but it's just
Speaker 1: it's so hard to follow what's going on, right, I
Speaker 1: mean it's it's fascinating though, fascinating. Okay, do you have
Speaker 1: any more? Or was that the last one?
Speaker 2: I think you've got the last one now right?
Speaker 1: I want to call him out just because I had
Speaker 1: Matt Desiderio in from Visual Vengeance and I just kind
Speaker 1: of jelled with the guy. I just like the guy.
Speaker 1: He works in a video store in New York City
Speaker 1: and he like runs film festivals and he's just he's
Speaker 1: very much like you. You would assume he's somebody that
Speaker 1: works at trauma. He's just very bootstrapped everything, and he's
Speaker 1: just like a encyclopedia of like kind of schlocky cinema
Speaker 1: I guess. And he does crazy stunts like he set
Speaker 1: up oh what was it, he set up some art
Speaker 1: display in MoMA, Oh a video store, a VHS video
Speaker 1: store in like MoMA or something, and they called him
Speaker 1: to go be the one that actually set it up.
Speaker 1: And he's just a he's an interesting guy. And Visual
Speaker 1: Vengeance I just love the movies they put out. You know,
Speaker 1: he really understands like the kind of the aesthetic of
Speaker 1: the people. They're gonna watch movies like vampires and other
Speaker 1: stories like in Colony the Repligator, this is a great one.
Speaker 1: But yeah, he just like he's in this kind of
Speaker 1: independently produced horror film genre. And you know, they put
Speaker 1: out they're inconsistent with their production. I don't know exactly why,
Speaker 1: but you know, they keep talking about trying to be
Speaker 1: more consistent. They're up to release twelve at least, maybe
Speaker 1: a little bit more. But I have at least through twelve.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, okay, they still have it up.
Speaker 2: That's cool.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I don't know. I just I just really
Speaker 1: like the guy and I hope that his label is
Speaker 1: successful and he's able to get a little bit of
Speaker 1: money for his new baby, which might be three four
Speaker 1: years old.
Speaker 2: Now, yeah, I agree, Visual Vengeance is fun. They've done
Speaker 2: some really great stuff. Glad it's coming out. God, so
Speaker 2: so much that I could say about all these that
Speaker 2: we have not but also like there's so many labels,
Speaker 2: there's so many that we could have names tonight that
Speaker 2: just don't get enough love. It's it's an under it's
Speaker 2: an underserved market. Sometimes that hurts some of these labels,
Speaker 2: but also it's an overwhelming hobby. I get it. There
Speaker 2: are so many films coming out every week. I mean
Speaker 2: we just went over like seventy announcements tonight. It's the
Speaker 2: second week of August. That's unexpected for sure. I mean
Speaker 2: we could have talked about Discothech. They've released a lot
Speaker 2: of stuff that's not anime. That's great, it's it's overwhelming
Speaker 2: to keep up with all these Totally get that. That's
Speaker 2: why I try to do what I do. But the
Speaker 2: big thing is I really just want to say, try
Speaker 2: to branch out sometimes, try to spread the love. Try,
Speaker 2: you know, try not to just go ham on a
Speaker 2: couple of Black Friday sales and call it done for
Speaker 2: four months. There are a couple other labels that are
Speaker 2: going to put out films that you might even like
Speaker 2: better and that have better quality releases that you could
Speaker 2: probably get for cheaper, and you just simply don't know
Speaker 2: about them or don't know how to look out for them.
Speaker 2: I will do my best to help come here, and
Speaker 2: we will do what we can to assist you in
Speaker 2: finding that. Just let us know what you like. We'll
Speaker 2: do our best. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I know this is cliche at this point and not
Speaker 1: needed to say, but the whole idea of like the
Speaker 1: criterion treatment of a movie. Now you could say the
Speaker 1: vinegar syndrome treatment of a movie, or the indicator treatment
Speaker 1: of a movie. Whatever. But all these boutique labels like
Speaker 1: they know what they have to do, so everything is Yeah, hey, Ronnie,
Speaker 1: I think right. I hope I got your name. Milestone's
Speaker 1: a great call out.
Speaker 2: Yep. I actually wanted to highlight them and I could
Speaker 2: not find a copy of the film that I wanted
Speaker 2: to highlight. So yeah, they are one that I would
Speaker 2: definitely talk about. Keno's got a handful of partner labels
Speaker 2: that definitely get a lot of appreciation that or definitely
Speaker 2: don't get a lot of appreciation for what they do
Speaker 2: when they deserve it.
Speaker 1: S A Peanuts is already selling for ninety dollars release
Speaker 1: if it's not already.
Speaker 2: A yeah, everything from Air gets a standard release. Any
Speaker 2: other shout outs, any of the labels that you wanted
Speaker 2: to but you didn't just grab on to.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean this is a very tiny one. They
Speaker 1: only do a few films a year at best.
Speaker 2: Be very good.
Speaker 1: Jeane Grasshopper Releasing, they have good stuff.
Speaker 2: Grasshoppers great, especially if you like Hank saying Sue, I,
Speaker 2: I this is probably gonna sound weird to some people,
Speaker 2: but I kind of wanted to bring up Eureka again.
Speaker 2: I know that they get a lot of attention because
Speaker 2: people love the classics and people love the kunk food
Speaker 2: films and stuff. They've done a lot of stuff that
Speaker 2: does not get enough to attention for just being really
Speaker 2: high quality releases. Eureka is great. Another one like if
Speaker 2: you love indie horror, we don't talk about Dread Pictures enough.
Speaker 2: They put out stuff that comes out on release date.
Speaker 2: It's like fourteen dollars, and they're not all great movies.
Speaker 2: But I like supporting indie horror and up and coming
Speaker 2: cult films. It's worth checking them out. It is absolutely
Speaker 2: a line that you could find some really great titles.
Speaker 2: I mean, Terrifier was released by Dread way back in
Speaker 2: the day. They put out a steel book of Terrifier
Speaker 2: that goes for like three hundred dollars. Now it's crazy
Speaker 2: Fun City Editions, yet another one that keeps putting out
Speaker 2: great stuff that people don't really pay attention to. It's amazing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I feel like we need to have an Altered
Speaker 1: Innocence and fun City segment of every show, just to
Speaker 1: like make sure they don't go away. They're both great.
Speaker 2: Terry says, just got a Golden Ninja video or yesterday.
Speaker 2: The special features are enlightening and made me more excited
Speaker 2: for the movies on the disc. Justin da Clue is
Speaker 2: a champion of film that needs to be paid attention to.
Speaker 2: His special features are generally pretty great. He just goes
Speaker 2: through all of like tries to make them comprehensive for
Speaker 2: films that will not get any other release, it's beyond
Speaker 2: worth it. Canadian International another great one. We talked about
Speaker 2: them earlier a little bit, but they're amazing. Possible Films
Speaker 2: if you like Hal Hartley, good shout out there.
Speaker 1: Possible Films is the name of a label.
Speaker 2: It is, Yeah, but I believe they only do Hal
Speaker 2: Hartley stuff.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, nice. That's like Abco with If you're
Speaker 1: a fan of YOTAASKI they have any of his stuff,
Speaker 1: Like you said, I mean there's one hundred we could.
Speaker 2: Absolutely. Grasshopper is a big one that I wanted to
Speaker 2: shout out in this portion, So I'm glad you said
Speaker 2: something we mentioned Grindhouse during the announcements tonight. But if
Speaker 2: you are somehow new to the game and have never
Speaker 2: checked out a Grindhouse releasing release, I know it's a
Speaker 2: weird way to say that, but their releases are overwhelming
Speaker 2: with the amount of special features and bonus films, and
Speaker 2: some of them it's literally like twelve hours of special
Speaker 2: features and it's a twenty dollars release. You can't really
Speaker 2: beat that.
Speaker 1: I mean, outside of Bill Lustik, he's probably the most
Speaker 1: connected person.
Speaker 2: In the industry, right, yes, probably.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and he stacks it full of good stuff.
Speaker 2: Which is why it takes so long for many of these.
Speaker 1: That's right, Massacre.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're around, They're kinda there, all right. I think
Speaker 2: that's all we got for tonight. I hope everybody enjoyed that.
Speaker 2: That that was a really fun one to do tonight.
Speaker 2: And some of these smaller labels I just like, I
Speaker 2: just like talking about I mean, they don't get the love.
Speaker 2: And you're one of my favorites to talk about it with.
Speaker 2: So thanks for doing this as usual. Everybody, please go
Speaker 2: subscribe to They Live by Film and the brand new
Speaker 2: Vinegar Syndrome podcast from Chris here called Punk vacation. It
Speaker 2: is off to an amazing start. Can't wait to see
