I'm excited to be here. 10 00:02:09.960 --> 00:02:13.000 It's uh, it's been a bit since I've wanted to 11 00:02:13.000 --> 00:02:15.680 do this and since I've had you on a list. 12 00:02:15.759 --> 00:02:18.039 We've got some some cool stuff to talk about. One 13 00:02:18.759 --> 00:02:20.719 we probably should start with the fact that you and 14 00:02:20.759 --> 00:02:23.199 I got to work together earlier this year on a 15 00:02:23.560 --> 00:02:26.479 river from Grayface. You're a part of the very first 16 00:02:26.599 --> 00:02:29.919 grave Face release. How How was it putting out your 17 00:02:29.919 --> 00:02:31.240 first visual lesson? My friend? 18 00:02:31.599 --> 00:02:35.759 Oh man, it was. It was very exciting and it 19 00:02:35.840 --> 00:02:38.800 was definitely a big learning lesson. I love that you 20 00:02:38.840 --> 00:02:41.280 get to go through, not that it was troublesome or anything, 21 00:02:41.280 --> 00:02:43.879 but just you know, the the trial and error of 22 00:02:44.080 --> 00:02:50.039 learning the process and really getting to put together sort 23 00:02:50.080 --> 00:02:53.960 of the pragmatic skills that I'm applying in other areas 24 00:02:54.000 --> 00:02:58.560 and put it on a disc r definitely was a 25 00:02:58.560 --> 00:03:02.199 big learning lesson and yeah, it was just a ton 26 00:03:02.280 --> 00:03:07.159 of fun and very gratifying that I was able to 27 00:03:07.719 --> 00:03:10.120 find that I could do something like that and also 28 00:03:10.360 --> 00:03:13.520 work with you guys on that as well. So for sure, 29 00:03:13.520 --> 00:03:14.680 it's definitely a team effort. 30 00:03:15.280 --> 00:03:17.759 We were stoked to have you and not to mention 31 00:03:17.960 --> 00:03:20.599 to be a part of the first Gray Face release 32 00:03:20.840 --> 00:03:22.319 is really cool for all of us to got to 33 00:03:22.319 --> 00:03:25.199 be a part of it, and it's an incredible movie. 34 00:03:25.199 --> 00:03:27.960 For anybody that hasn't picked Up River yet, could you 35 00:03:28.000 --> 00:03:29.719 tell them a little bit about the movie. 36 00:03:30.360 --> 00:03:37.879 Yeah, So it's a collaboration between the director Juta Yamagucci 37 00:03:38.280 --> 00:03:43.800 and then Altho the writer Makoto Ueida, and with those 38 00:03:43.840 --> 00:03:47.719 two it's all about tide paradoxes, and this is the 39 00:03:48.120 --> 00:03:50.599 second time that those two have worked together. Another shout 40 00:03:50.599 --> 00:03:53.680 out is a film called Beyond the Infinite two Minutes, 41 00:03:54.800 --> 00:04:00.159 But basically the narrative of this story is it's a 42 00:04:00.159 --> 00:04:07.000 a small little mountain resort community in Japan and where 43 00:04:07.039 --> 00:04:09.680 it's a lot it's pretty simple life day to day, 44 00:04:09.919 --> 00:04:14.759 and all of a sudden, with really no explanation, time 45 00:04:14.879 --> 00:04:20.720 starts resetting every two minutes, and so panic sets in. 46 00:04:20.839 --> 00:04:25.000 Everybody's trying to figure it out. But the interesting novelty 47 00:04:25.120 --> 00:04:30.240 of this film is that everybody retains the knowledge of 48 00:04:30.279 --> 00:04:33.519 the past two minutes even though two minutes is resetting. 49 00:04:33.639 --> 00:04:37.199 So it's very much a movie where they're problem solving 50 00:04:37.199 --> 00:04:40.759 and they only get two minutes to make a set 51 00:04:40.800 --> 00:04:44.600 forward with things, and then the two minutes resets, but 52 00:04:44.639 --> 00:04:47.399 they still remember what they did, so it's a constant 53 00:04:47.480 --> 00:04:50.399 rat race, is the best way to put it, where 54 00:04:50.879 --> 00:04:54.240 they learn all about themselves trying to get themselves out 55 00:04:54.279 --> 00:04:58.800 of this situation. But then also there's a weird tandem 56 00:04:58.879 --> 00:05:02.480 where they only have two minutes and it's resetting, they 57 00:05:03.000 --> 00:05:05.560 suddenly have all the time in the world. So there's 58 00:05:05.560 --> 00:05:09.439 a lot of interesting concepts there. So it's a fun film. 59 00:05:10.399 --> 00:05:13.319 And somehow been overlooked by a lot of people that, 60 00:05:13.439 --> 00:05:15.879 like played some festivals, did not get a lot of 61 00:05:15.920 --> 00:05:18.720 attention like Beyond the Infinite two Minutes did at first, 62 00:05:18.879 --> 00:05:22.759 And first off, I just love that the creative team 63 00:05:22.800 --> 00:05:26.040 worked together multiple times on a very similar idea. It 64 00:05:26.079 --> 00:05:28.120 made two very different movies. 65 00:05:28.519 --> 00:05:33.879 Yeah, yeah, they both deal with time concepts. But like 66 00:05:33.920 --> 00:05:37.279 I said, River is more the rat race kind of scenario, 67 00:05:37.680 --> 00:05:40.759 and then the other one, Beyond the Infinite two Minutes, 68 00:05:40.879 --> 00:05:44.439 works with it's more like I equate it to like 69 00:05:44.480 --> 00:05:46.920 the scientific theory kind of movie where they're doing a 70 00:05:46.959 --> 00:05:50.560 lot of science experiments and a lot of testing in 71 00:05:50.600 --> 00:05:54.040 the moment because it's all about something called the Drost effect, 72 00:05:54.439 --> 00:05:58.600 which is picture within picture within picture, and so Beyond 73 00:05:58.600 --> 00:06:01.160 the Infinite two Minutes is all about this weird echo 74 00:06:01.279 --> 00:06:04.680 chamber of time travel. And then this one is just 75 00:06:04.959 --> 00:06:08.759 like I said, retaining knowledge but then how to get 76 00:06:08.759 --> 00:06:12.399 themselves out of the situation. Yeah, it's the same thing 77 00:06:12.519 --> 00:06:14.600 but very different at the same time, and that's sort 78 00:06:14.600 --> 00:06:15.839 of what's the genius. 79 00:06:15.399 --> 00:06:19.040 About, which kind of works in with the storylines of 80 00:06:19.040 --> 00:06:21.360 what they're doing. It's literally eating the same thing, but 81 00:06:21.480 --> 00:06:25.720 just through a very different way. Tonight's tonight's discussion after 82 00:06:25.720 --> 00:06:27.839 the announcements is going to be a really fun one. 83 00:06:28.439 --> 00:06:30.680 We decided we were going to talk about just the 84 00:06:30.839 --> 00:06:37.439 overall theater experience, and Blake has some experience in experiences, 85 00:06:37.439 --> 00:06:40.120 so we're going to discuss with that framework, we're going 86 00:06:40.160 --> 00:06:44.160 to talk about what we could be doing in the 87 00:06:44.240 --> 00:06:47.879 near future to enhance the theater experience, what theaters could 88 00:06:47.920 --> 00:06:49.319 do to make this better for a lot of us, 89 00:06:49.319 --> 00:06:52.959 discuss things like D box and four d X and 90 00:06:53.000 --> 00:06:55.439 all this other stuff that they're trying. We're even going 91 00:06:55.480 --> 00:06:57.920 to talk about a filmmaker that I'm going to talk 92 00:06:57.920 --> 00:07:01.759 about now in my recent pickups on mister William Castle. 93 00:07:02.199 --> 00:07:04.160 So I don't share a lot of my vinegar syndrome 94 00:07:04.199 --> 00:07:06.120 stuff because I feel like everybody's getting it. But I 95 00:07:06.120 --> 00:07:07.800 feel like I got this pretty quick this month. So 96 00:07:08.319 --> 00:07:11.519 this is the brand new cinematograph. This is Shanks William 97 00:07:11.519 --> 00:07:14.680 Castle's last film, one that I've never seen. Definitely eager 98 00:07:14.720 --> 00:07:17.920 to check that one out. The other three here, I think, 99 00:07:17.920 --> 00:07:19.680 are the three from this month that I was most 100 00:07:19.720 --> 00:07:23.040 eager to check out and most eager to get first. 101 00:07:23.240 --> 00:07:25.120 I've been dying for a good Blu Ray release Murder 102 00:07:25.160 --> 00:07:28.639 Party since this movie came out. Jeremy Salny is one 103 00:07:28.680 --> 00:07:31.160 of my favorites, and to have this from a VS 104 00:07:31.160 --> 00:07:34.199 partner label as wild. If you've never seen this, this 105 00:07:34.279 --> 00:07:36.000 is definitely worth checking out. It's the guy that did 106 00:07:36.199 --> 00:07:42.439 Green Room, this year's Rebel Ridge. He did, oh gosh, 107 00:07:42.639 --> 00:07:46.079 the other Netflix Turn of the Dark, and that's not it? 108 00:07:46.160 --> 00:07:48.879 What am I thinking? I don't remember? Somebody will tell 109 00:07:48.879 --> 00:07:54.439 me the comments. Next one the found Footage Phenomenon. This 110 00:07:54.480 --> 00:07:56.920 is one that I've been wanting to see. It's directed 111 00:07:56.920 --> 00:07:59.680 by co directed by Phil Escott, who is a producer 112 00:08:00.079 --> 00:08:02.560 for Second Sight. He's the guy that owns Fractured Visions 113 00:08:03.040 --> 00:08:05.639 and the Cool Thing. One of my dear friends, mister 114 00:08:05.680 --> 00:08:08.480 Sam Cohen, has an essay in this one. It's his 115 00:08:08.480 --> 00:08:11.399 first written essay, so kudos to Sam. Hold the Dark? 116 00:08:11.839 --> 00:08:15.040 Is that what I said? That's pretty damn close. I 117 00:08:15.360 --> 00:08:19.959 don't understand. I can't believe I remembered that. Kyle. Thanks. 118 00:08:20.399 --> 00:08:23.720 And then finally my last pickup, I'll share corpse Mania. 119 00:08:24.079 --> 00:08:26.600 I am loving all the Hong Kong titles coming out 120 00:08:26.600 --> 00:08:28.720 of Vindger Centrom over the last couple of years. This 121 00:08:28.800 --> 00:08:31.480 is one that I wanted in high quality for a 122 00:08:31.639 --> 00:08:34.440 very long time.

I heard from somebody the 141 00:09:35.279 --> 00:09:37.720 discord that it's a little bit different than what we're thinking. 142 00:09:37.799 --> 00:09:39.799 But that's a good thing.

Okay, we're looking after that. Make 165 00:10:56.440 --> 00:10:58.639 sure you go to Orbit because it is out of 166 00:10:58.679 --> 00:11:01.799 print from Eureka. Let me make make sure while we're 167 00:11:01.840 --> 00:11:05.200 talking it is still in stock. Yeah, you can pick 168 00:11:05.200 --> 00:11:06.279 it up abbit right now. 169 00:11:06.720 --> 00:11:08.879 It says it's like an absurd. I've never seen it, 170 00:11:08.919 --> 00:11:11.360 but it says it's like an absurd. It's like street 171 00:11:11.399 --> 00:11:14.879 Fighter two yep kind of thing. So I'm all about it. 172 00:11:14.919 --> 00:11:18.039 So I'm definitely interested. So yeah, that's just a couple 173 00:11:18.080 --> 00:11:20.960 of things on top of like, you know, both the 174 00:11:21.080 --> 00:11:24.159 bulk you know, some bulk screen factory stuff like that, 175 00:11:24.360 --> 00:11:27.039 some back titles that are a lot of fun. Excited. 176 00:11:27.879 --> 00:11:32.279 So some recent watches for both of us. This week 177 00:11:32.360 --> 00:11:35.519 we watched in our house Women of the Hour, the 178 00:11:35.519 --> 00:11:40.039 brand new Anna Kendrick film for Netflix. It's about the 179 00:11:40.039 --> 00:11:43.000 the Dating Game killer, the guy that killed a bunch 180 00:11:43.000 --> 00:11:45.440 of people and went on the dating game and him 181 00:11:45.720 --> 00:11:50.799 eventually getting caught for directing debut, and she kind of 182 00:11:50.919 --> 00:11:53.360 killed it. She she did very well. She acted in 183 00:11:53.399 --> 00:11:56.759 it as well. Very very happy that we watched it. 184 00:11:56.840 --> 00:11:59.000 I thought it was pretty well done. Both of the 185 00:11:59.080 --> 00:12:05.159 leads did an incredible job. She is great, obviously, she's 186 00:12:05.519 --> 00:12:08.639 usually pretty amazing. But the lead that played the killer, 187 00:12:09.279 --> 00:12:12.519 I mean, unsettling the entire time, but also charismatic, like 188 00:12:12.559 --> 00:12:15.879 you expect somebody in a material killer position to be. 189 00:12:16.639 --> 00:12:18.720 Huh. Yeah. I've seen a couple of people review that 190 00:12:18.759 --> 00:12:21.159 on miner box. That's interesting. And then I've heard of 191 00:12:21.200 --> 00:12:25.120 that scenario previously like that character, so that'd be cool 192 00:12:25.320 --> 00:12:26.759 to look into for sure. 193 00:12:27.600 --> 00:12:30.399 Only other one I'll talk about is a nice bridge 194 00:12:30.399 --> 00:12:35.000 to yours because we both watched for tonight mattinay, I 195 00:12:35.039 --> 00:12:38.559 watched the Old Screen Factory Blu Ray and this movie 196 00:12:38.600 --> 00:12:42.360 is just so damn good. It might be my favorite Dante. Yeah, 197 00:12:43.039 --> 00:12:46.799 it is so fun, and I mean Goodman is crazy 198 00:12:46.840 --> 00:12:51.799 good in it. Yeah, the scenarios are wild. It's like, well, 199 00:12:51.840 --> 00:12:54.759 I was gonna say modern day William Castle, but nineteen 200 00:12:54.840 --> 00:12:58.399 fifty set William Castle and done in a way that 201 00:12:58.720 --> 00:13:02.919 is just the most huckster guy traveling from city to 202 00:13:02.960 --> 00:13:05.879 city that you can picture, trying to make every buck 203 00:13:05.919 --> 00:13:09.559 that he can, and that coupled with the nuclear bomb 204 00:13:09.799 --> 00:13:12.080 of it, all of what was going on then is 205 00:13:12.159 --> 00:13:15.919 such a perfect way to like set it in realism, 206 00:13:16.039 --> 00:13:18.679 but make it fun and interesting and make it like 207 00:13:18.759 --> 00:13:22.440 certain silly things that you could do with it. Yeah, 208 00:13:22.720 --> 00:13:25.000 it's it's a great film. If you've never seen Mattinee, 209 00:13:25.279 --> 00:13:29.799 anybody that loves movies should watch mattew It's absolutely that 210 00:13:30.240 --> 00:13:31.360 just cut and dry. 211 00:13:31.759 --> 00:13:35.120 It's like I equate it to like the B movie 212 00:13:35.240 --> 00:13:40.320 version of Sarah the Cinema Paradiso yep. And I've seen 213 00:13:40.360 --> 00:13:43.879 Mattinee countless times of my life, and I got the 214 00:13:43.919 --> 00:13:46.639 four K of it. Oh when it came out, I 215 00:13:46.639 --> 00:13:49.080 think it was about May June something like that, but 216 00:13:49.120 --> 00:13:52.320 I purposely sat on it for a while and I 217 00:13:52.480 --> 00:13:56.000 just watched it this week again, and yeah, I loved 218 00:13:56.039 --> 00:13:58.759 every bit of it, and and I love just revisiting it. 219 00:13:58.840 --> 00:14:00.799 And there's a lot of things that I noticed upon 220 00:14:00.879 --> 00:14:05.600 this round that I didn't notice before, and outside of 221 00:14:05.679 --> 00:14:10.639 just the typical John Goodman character, but like how Dante's 222 00:14:10.639 --> 00:14:15.679 sneaking in some stuff with the everyday life characters, especially 223 00:14:15.759 --> 00:14:17.919 to make it sort of like an atomic B movie 224 00:14:18.200 --> 00:14:21.240 kind of thing. So yeah, I absolutely love that movie. 225 00:14:21.240 --> 00:14:23.960 And it definitely got better this week, even though it 226 00:14:24.000 --> 00:14:25.480 was already a five star film for me. 227 00:14:25.639 --> 00:14:28.799 So yeah, absolutely had the four K on that one. 228 00:14:28.840 --> 00:14:33.879 Look, it looks great. I mean I would say that 229 00:14:33.960 --> 00:14:36.840 I'm pretty easy judge compared to some others where I'm 230 00:14:36.879 --> 00:14:39.399 just like, yeah, it looks great, but yeah, it looks 231 00:14:39.519 --> 00:14:41.480 it looks pretty fresh, pretty good. 232 00:14:42.399 --> 00:14:45.879 Not to like pre promote something, but I did want 233 00:14:45.919 --> 00:14:48.200 to shout out tonight. I posted it in the discord earlier. 234 00:14:48.240 --> 00:14:53.039 But anybody that is in any way nerdy about visual 235 00:14:53.120 --> 00:14:57.200 aspects for films or anything. Tomorrow's episode of The Deaf 236 00:14:57.240 --> 00:15:01.480 Crocodile Podcast is maybe one of the most important things 237 00:15:01.519 --> 00:15:04.679 that you could listen to over this year. We had 238 00:15:04.679 --> 00:15:07.879 a special guest on to fully just dedicate almost the 239 00:15:08.000 --> 00:15:12.080 entire episode to film restoration, and we go through like 240 00:15:12.159 --> 00:15:15.320 we go through the individual software that they use. We 241 00:15:15.360 --> 00:15:17.279 talk about what they do on a day to day basis, 242 00:15:17.279 --> 00:15:19.960 we talk about the threat of AI. There's all kinds 243 00:15:19.960 --> 00:15:22.080 of stuff that people are gonna love. It's not a 244 00:15:22.080 --> 00:15:24.480 super long episode, but it's one that you're going to 245 00:15:25.720 --> 00:15:29.039 probably want to even save and maybe listen to again. 246 00:15:30.039 --> 00:15:33.519 Lots of great information again, check it out tomorrow. Should 247 00:15:33.519 --> 00:15:36.279 be releasing about midday on the East Coast. I think 248 00:15:36.279 --> 00:15:38.159 you'll like it. But what else have you been watching? 249 00:15:39.240 --> 00:15:45.080 Let's see, so this week, I did you know one 250 00:15:45.120 --> 00:15:47.559 good shout out? I watched Dead of Night by Bob 251 00:15:47.639 --> 00:15:52.000 Clark Blue Underground just put that out a little bit ago, 252 00:15:52.759 --> 00:15:56.360 and I love that movie and it's sort of wildly 253 00:15:56.440 --> 00:16:01.279 buried in between. Bob Clark's an interesting character. And yeah, 254 00:16:01.320 --> 00:16:03.679 obviously we know Black Christmas and this is the movie 255 00:16:03.679 --> 00:16:07.320 that he did right before Black Christmas. But it's very 256 00:16:07.559 --> 00:16:11.559 interesting film that it's very simple in the sense that 257 00:16:12.120 --> 00:16:14.559 you don't really know a lot about the character, just 258 00:16:14.600 --> 00:16:18.600 that he's evil and apparently dead. But you have this 259 00:16:18.639 --> 00:16:24.039 whole fascinating family drama going on, and that's sort of 260 00:16:24.080 --> 00:16:28.480 the hidden gym of this film is you're just seeing 261 00:16:28.519 --> 00:16:31.960 the family dynamic and how it metaphors for probably a 262 00:16:32.000 --> 00:16:35.919 lot of realism with somebody who had somebody go away 263 00:16:35.919 --> 00:16:39.120 to war in Vietnam or just in general. So that 264 00:16:40.000 --> 00:16:43.840 movie is a lot more brilliant in a sense than 265 00:16:43.919 --> 00:16:48.080 just a standard horror film. Let's see here. 266 00:16:48.519 --> 00:16:51.000 I think it's the second best film easily to Black Christmas. 267 00:16:51.120 --> 00:16:55.279 Yeah. Yeah, I mean, he only did really three horror 268 00:16:55.279 --> 00:16:58.039 movies because he did Children Shouldn't Play with Dead Things, 269 00:16:58.080 --> 00:17:00.960 which I'll be honest, The beginning of that movie is 270 00:17:01.000 --> 00:17:03.840 a little bit of a drag. Actually, most of that 271 00:17:03.879 --> 00:17:05.279 movie is a little bit of a drag. But then 272 00:17:05.319 --> 00:17:09.319 the final part of it is like, you know, crazy, 273 00:17:10.119 --> 00:17:12.160 and it makes up for the entire rest of the film. 274 00:17:12.480 --> 00:17:15.519 But yeah, he Bob Clark's interesting that he did three 275 00:17:15.559 --> 00:17:17.960 movies in that genre and just said, all right, I'm 276 00:17:18.000 --> 00:17:20.599 going to do family stuff and then you make Christmas Story, 277 00:17:21.240 --> 00:17:23.440 which is amazing in its own right. He made two 278 00:17:23.519 --> 00:17:26.480 of the best Christmas movies of all time, back back 279 00:17:26.519 --> 00:17:30.039 in their polar opposites of each other. So yeah, yeah, 280 00:17:30.119 --> 00:17:34.319 Bob Clark, what's another. I'm trying to mix it up 281 00:17:34.359 --> 00:17:37.839 around hat Halloween season, hitting a bunch of different things. 282 00:17:38.079 --> 00:17:42.799 I did watch Darkwater, so I got a Jay horror 283 00:17:42.799 --> 00:17:46.920 in and this one was from back in two thousand 284 00:17:46.920 --> 00:17:51.599 and two. I saw the one that Jennifer Conley did 285 00:17:52.039 --> 00:17:55.480 that was like two thousand and five, I believe. But 286 00:17:55.559 --> 00:17:59.559 this guy, he's the same guy who originally directed Ringo 287 00:17:59.720 --> 00:18:04.599 or the original Japanese That one was pretty excellent as well. 288 00:18:04.920 --> 00:18:07.319 I think I might have seen snippets of it before, 289 00:18:07.559 --> 00:18:10.480 way back when when it was first released, but that 290 00:18:10.640 --> 00:18:16.599 was definitely an excellent revisit. Just the the perfect dynamic 291 00:18:16.720 --> 00:18:22.200 of how the Japanese create a horror movie that almost 292 00:18:22.200 --> 00:18:27.000 seems like it's steeped in like legend and or like folklore. 293 00:18:27.200 --> 00:18:29.200 Even though this is a movie that's that was like 294 00:18:29.319 --> 00:18:32.039 then set in a contemporary time, and even though it's 295 00:18:32.440 --> 00:18:35.759 you know, it's centered on like a murder that happened 296 00:18:35.759 --> 00:18:38.319 only in nineteen ninety nine and then they're figuring out 297 00:18:38.359 --> 00:18:40.920 the events in two thousand and two, it still it 298 00:18:40.920 --> 00:18:45.720 feels like you're watching some parable folk tale thing. So yeah, 299 00:18:45.759 --> 00:18:50.799 I definitely appreciated watching that one. What's another shout out, 300 00:18:50.799 --> 00:18:53.400 because I've watched quite a few this week? 301 00:18:53.480 --> 00:18:56.880 Of course, you. 302 00:18:56.799 --> 00:19:00.839 Know another one which I think this one is a 303 00:19:00.839 --> 00:19:04.359 good novelty film, and I bet you it's it's flown 304 00:19:04.400 --> 00:19:08.240 over as probably a piece of crud by many people. 305 00:19:08.599 --> 00:19:12.799 But I watched Man's Best Friend last night, and this 306 00:19:12.880 --> 00:19:18.240 is John Laffia who, although he's the person who coined Chucky, 307 00:19:18.400 --> 00:19:22.160 the name Chucky, he worked with Don Mancini and they 308 00:19:22.200 --> 00:19:25.759 wrote the first Child's play and then John directed Child's 309 00:19:25.759 --> 00:19:29.720 Play too. But he created this movie that's a year 310 00:19:29.799 --> 00:19:34.160 behind Beethoven, the family film Beethoven, and it's about this 311 00:19:34.359 --> 00:19:38.519 evil dog that is almost like he's cybernetic. He's like 312 00:19:38.559 --> 00:19:41.160 a terminator dog and he just goes around and just 313 00:19:41.240 --> 00:19:44.960 kills people. But the movie is so off kilter and 314 00:19:45.039 --> 00:19:48.319 it doesn't know how to like tonally that it's footing. 315 00:19:49.119 --> 00:19:53.079 But it's so weird in retrospect that I bet you, 316 00:19:53.880 --> 00:19:55.599 if plenty of people watch it now, would be a 317 00:19:55.599 --> 00:19:58.680 cult hit. At the time it's panned at the time, 318 00:19:58.799 --> 00:20:01.279 plenty of people say this is garb but yeah, it's 319 00:20:01.640 --> 00:20:03.680 they're sort of brilliant. So yeah, I had a lot 320 00:20:03.680 --> 00:20:05.960 of fun with that one just because of the audacity 321 00:20:05.960 --> 00:20:09.119 of it. But yeah, yeah, I could go on forever 322 00:20:09.160 --> 00:20:11.920 because I watched ten movies. But yeah, that's just a selection. 323 00:20:13.079 --> 00:20:16.839 On that note. If you are not following Blake on letterboxed, 324 00:20:17.240 --> 00:20:20.000 he is linked in the description below, and he is 325 00:20:20.039 --> 00:20:23.759 an incredible following letterboxed. He takes the time to research 326 00:20:23.920 --> 00:20:26.480 and write on every single thing that he watches. When 327 00:20:26.519 --> 00:20:29.759 I say right, I mean like five plus paragraphs usually, 328 00:20:29.960 --> 00:20:32.440 and done in a way that will entice you to 329 00:20:32.440 --> 00:20:35.039 watch almost everything. Because he's a very positive person, so 330 00:20:35.680 --> 00:20:38.319 he's a great follow He's one of those people that 331 00:20:38.440 --> 00:20:40.400 his reviews get so many likes that you start to 332 00:20:40.400 --> 00:20:43.119 get jealous. Definitely work to follow him. 333 00:20:43.759 --> 00:20:46.880 I appreciate it. Yeah, I'm definitely a bit on the 334 00:20:46.920 --> 00:20:52.000 positive spectrum. But I guess because you know, rating films 335 00:20:52.000 --> 00:20:55.240 is speculative and it's subjective, so you know, to each 336 00:20:55.279 --> 00:20:59.000 their own. My mentality is I sort of grade at 337 00:20:59.079 --> 00:21:01.319 like people great paid first, like if I was a teacher, 338 00:21:01.359 --> 00:21:03.119 and I just live in a world where you can 339 00:21:03.160 --> 00:21:05.640 give a lot of a's, so it's like all right. 340 00:21:06.119 --> 00:21:08.200 You know this movie did its job in the moment. 341 00:21:08.359 --> 00:21:12.119 So that's the roll speaking my language on a day 342 00:21:12.119 --> 00:21:14.079 that I had parent teacher conferences for my kid. 343 00:21:14.160 --> 00:21:16.200 Yep, exactly exactly. 344 00:21:16.880 --> 00:21:20.920 All right, Let's get into some movies after I highlight 345 00:21:21.000 --> 00:21:25.039 John's comment, because this is absolutely true. You watch movies 346 00:21:25.039 --> 00:21:27.079 to essentially like to watch movies. 347 00:21:27.359 --> 00:21:30.319 Yep, exactly, exactly all right. 348 00:21:31.000 --> 00:21:34.720 We are starting with Imprint Asia. They announced during the 349 00:21:34.759 --> 00:21:37.599 show last week, since Sibner and I were on for 350 00:21:37.599 --> 00:21:40.960 almost five hours last dayDay. These are all coming on 351 00:21:41.079 --> 00:21:44.720 January eighth on Blu Ray in Australia. The first one, 352 00:21:45.079 --> 00:21:47.920 this is the Erotic Ghost Story Trilogy. They had revealed 353 00:21:47.920 --> 00:21:51.640 that this was coming again hardbox release, limited to fifteen 354 00:21:51.680 --> 00:21:55.920 hundred copies. They've got new special features on these. We've 355 00:21:55.960 --> 00:21:58.680 got new audio commentary from Ian Jane on the first one, 356 00:21:59.480 --> 00:22:05.119 new interview on the second one, Costume drama meets Category three. 357 00:22:05.519 --> 00:22:08.480 On the second one, we've got audio commentary by Keilen Modell, 358 00:22:09.200 --> 00:22:11.960 new interview with art director Raymond Lee and art assistant 359 00:22:11.960 --> 00:22:14.160 Cyrus Hoe, a new interview on that one as well. 360 00:22:14.400 --> 00:22:16.480 And then the third one we got another new commentary 361 00:22:16.519 --> 00:22:19.279 from Modell. New interview with the art assistant Cyrus Hoe. 362 00:22:20.359 --> 00:22:23.279 This has been released. It's coming out from Shout Factory 363 00:22:23.319 --> 00:22:26.880 now coming from Imprint, and I think eighty eight Films 364 00:22:26.960 --> 00:22:29.839 is doing it in December as well. Are you picking 365 00:22:29.880 --> 00:22:30.599 any of those up? 366 00:22:32.039 --> 00:22:36.519 I'm interested in for sure, because it's same directors Rick Riccio, 367 00:22:37.279 --> 00:22:38.839 at least the first one is I got to see 368 00:22:38.839 --> 00:22:41.160 if the same person did all three. I didn't look 369 00:22:41.200 --> 00:22:41.440 at that. 370 00:22:41.799 --> 00:22:42.839 I don't believe they did. 371 00:22:43.240 --> 00:22:47.039 Yeah that makes sense. But yeah, the first first film, 372 00:22:47.079 --> 00:22:50.160 same directors Riccio, and then Seventh Purse, which I love. 373 00:22:50.279 --> 00:22:52.680 Seventh Purse. It's one of the films I watched a 374 00:22:52.680 --> 00:22:54.799 few years ago that I was just like, this movie's 375 00:22:55.359 --> 00:22:58.640 off the wall. Ye, So yeah, for sure. I mean 376 00:22:58.720 --> 00:23:02.880 probably the easiest act. Excess one is maybe like the 377 00:23:03.000 --> 00:23:05.480 Shout Factory one. But I mean I'm all over the map, 378 00:23:05.839 --> 00:23:09.079 so I bounce between all regions, so who knows, whatever, 379 00:23:09.519 --> 00:23:14.720 whatever one comes my way in the best situation, right, Oh, 380 00:23:14.920 --> 00:23:15.480 what I'll grab. 381 00:23:16.680 --> 00:23:20.680 Next one from Imprint Asia is is You U's Train. 382 00:23:20.839 --> 00:23:23.200 This is from two thousand and two. This is a worldwide, 383 00:23:23.240 --> 00:23:26.160 first time on Blu. Ray gong Li is starring in 384 00:23:26.200 --> 00:23:30.160 this one and the important thing, no bonus features on 385 00:23:30.200 --> 00:23:34.279 this film, nothing at all. 386 00:23:34.440 --> 00:23:37.160 Yeah, this one, I really didn't know a lot about 387 00:23:37.160 --> 00:23:40.720 it at all. I did look it up and somebody 388 00:23:40.720 --> 00:23:45.200 equated it to like a Douglas Search kind of melodrama. 389 00:23:45.960 --> 00:23:48.400 So that's a good siding point. But that's that's the 390 00:23:48.440 --> 00:23:50.440 extent of my knowledge on it. But hey, I'll take 391 00:23:50.480 --> 00:23:51.240 that well. 392 00:23:51.240 --> 00:23:55.440 And Gongley's great. Yeah, obviously. The final one from them 393 00:23:55.680 --> 00:23:59.079 is Yolo from twenty twenty four, again brand new worldwide, 394 00:23:59.119 --> 00:24:01.319 first on Blu Ray. This is the first release of 395 00:24:01.359 --> 00:24:05.440 it and again no bonus features whatsoever. And on a 396 00:24:05.480 --> 00:24:10.160 brand new movie, you would have done anything to have 397 00:24:10.240 --> 00:24:12.519 some special features. I guarantee the director wants to talk 398 00:24:12.559 --> 00:24:13.359 about it at least. 399 00:24:13.440 --> 00:24:16.640 Yeah, for sure. Imprint's an interesting company. I have a 400 00:24:16.640 --> 00:24:19.799 few other stuff, but yeah, that's yeah. 401 00:24:20.559 --> 00:24:26.279 Totally get it. Uh but if man, this is gonna 402 00:24:26.279 --> 00:24:28.960 be a weird one to talk about. So we got 403 00:24:29.000 --> 00:24:31.160 coming on four K and Blu Ray in the UK 404 00:24:31.319 --> 00:24:35.839 soon from Hammer Films themselves Captain Kronos Vampire Hunter. This 405 00:24:35.960 --> 00:24:38.759 is coming for the first time anywhere on four K. 406 00:24:39.359 --> 00:24:42.519 But what's crazy is this film is getting a five 407 00:24:42.720 --> 00:24:46.680 disc release two four k's three Blu rays with the 408 00:24:47.000 --> 00:24:51.200 content duplicated across both formats, and when we were just 409 00:24:51.240 --> 00:24:53.960 talking about Imprint not having any special features, this has 410 00:24:54.519 --> 00:24:58.319 like literally anything you could possibly ask for on this release. 411 00:24:58.720 --> 00:25:03.599 Thrown on here. It looks like a great, solid, really 412 00:25:03.680 --> 00:25:07.039 nice physical media package. But this also is kind of 413 00:25:07.079 --> 00:25:11.160 like an under It's it's like the not not bottom chier. 414 00:25:11.200 --> 00:25:13.880 I'd say it's more like mid tier Hammer Films. And 415 00:25:14.039 --> 00:25:16.319 the fact that they're putting this one out in a 416 00:25:16.480 --> 00:25:21.799 five years release, I mean, they're gonna do a lot. 417 00:25:22.079 --> 00:25:25.799 They're going all in on this thing. This thing, it's 418 00:25:25.839 --> 00:25:30.559 this movie is interesting. Not gonna lie speaking about recent watches. 419 00:25:30.599 --> 00:25:34.599 I actually watched this movie yesterday, right, and because I 420 00:25:35.119 --> 00:25:38.119 found it in like the Scream Screen Factory version, you know, 421 00:25:38.680 --> 00:25:42.160 just in the bundle of Mini and I hadn't seen 422 00:25:42.160 --> 00:25:45.039 this before this one. It's it's weird. It's sort of 423 00:25:45.079 --> 00:25:48.160 like a square peg trying to fit in a round hole. 424 00:25:48.640 --> 00:25:51.000 But that's not necessarily a bad thing like it would 425 00:25:51.079 --> 00:25:55.440 usually be, right because I can see this movie as 426 00:25:55.480 --> 00:25:58.200 sort of a template for a lot of the later 427 00:25:58.279 --> 00:26:03.880 on action narrative like Vampire or just crypto movies in general, 428 00:26:05.119 --> 00:26:09.400 because this guy, he's very much like a swashbuckler and 429 00:26:09.440 --> 00:26:15.119 he's going after fighting these vampires and it's very dry 430 00:26:15.440 --> 00:26:18.519 in Hammer fashion. But once it starts going, it gets going. 431 00:26:19.680 --> 00:26:22.720 I could see a lot of fandom from the adventure 432 00:26:22.799 --> 00:26:26.000 fans getting in this one, so it's an interesting watch. 433 00:26:26.039 --> 00:26:27.160 I definitely recommend it. 434 00:26:27.200 --> 00:26:30.039 But yeah, for sure, this one has probably been a 435 00:26:30.039 --> 00:26:32.039 good ten or twelve years since I've watched this. But 436 00:26:33.079 --> 00:26:35.799 just like Paul said in the comments, there are so 437 00:26:35.839 --> 00:26:38.720 many other Hammer films I'd much rather get this type 438 00:26:38.720 --> 00:26:41.640 of release first than this one. And I'm not saying 439 00:26:41.680 --> 00:26:44.640 at all that this means it's replacing those This was 440 00:26:44.680 --> 00:26:48.240 probably just more recently restored or somebody else had already 441 00:26:48.279 --> 00:26:50.640 started a restoration or something and they said, oh, I 442 00:26:50.680 --> 00:26:52.920 know what we can do to save some money. And 443 00:26:52.960 --> 00:26:54.960 now the hard part is this is going to come out, 444 00:26:55.000 --> 00:26:57.559 and it's going to be a very expensive release. There's 445 00:26:57.599 --> 00:26:59.960 no way you release all of this without it costs 446 00:27:01.359 --> 00:27:04.839 probably more than one hundred dollars plus shipping. And the 447 00:27:04.880 --> 00:27:07.240 fact that they're doing this for a mid tier Hammer. 448 00:27:07.720 --> 00:27:09.960 Some of the bigger Hammer films are gonna get even 449 00:27:10.039 --> 00:27:13.400 bigger releases than this, probably. So. In other words, if 450 00:27:13.440 --> 00:27:15.880 you love Hammer, get ready to open your wallet a 451 00:27:15.920 --> 00:27:17.720 lot because they're willing to go there. 452 00:27:18.200 --> 00:27:20.480 Yeah, and you said it was Hammer directly doing this, 453 00:27:20.559 --> 00:27:21.960 so they probably live in a little bit of an 454 00:27:22.000 --> 00:27:24.799 echo chamber, probably saying, oh, we got all this, and 455 00:27:24.839 --> 00:27:27.920 they they probably love it way more than the average person, 456 00:27:28.279 --> 00:27:30.119 even though there is a lot of fandom for this thing, 457 00:27:30.200 --> 00:27:32.599 so of course they're throwing it all in with this 458 00:27:32.720 --> 00:27:35.759 being sort of their first big release and then so 459 00:27:35.960 --> 00:27:37.160 it's it's an experiment. 460 00:27:37.920 --> 00:27:40.279 But yeah, we'll see what they do next. This thing 461 00:27:40.359 --> 00:27:42.640 will go up for pre order on their website on 462 00:27:42.680 --> 00:27:45.200 Halloween and then we'll find out more about the price 463 00:27:45.240 --> 00:27:49.160 and all that that stuff. Yeah, Vampire Lovers is another 464 00:27:49.160 --> 00:27:51.039 one that definitely needs to be released for sure. 465 00:27:51.480 --> 00:27:53.799 Yeah. 466 00:27:54.039 --> 00:27:57.279 Next is we got word from Second Site that they 467 00:27:57.279 --> 00:28:00.319 are putting out The House of the Devil on Blue 468 00:28:00.359 --> 00:28:05.400 Here soon. This is one that I believe I called 469 00:28:05.400 --> 00:28:07.559 a couple months ago saying I think Second Site will 470 00:28:07.640 --> 00:28:09.960 likely be putting this out soon, so I'm glad to 471 00:28:10.000 --> 00:28:13.720 see that come true. This is a great movie. I 472 00:28:14.279 --> 00:28:16.319 genuinely really like this one. I think I like this 473 00:28:16.400 --> 00:28:20.240 one more than most. How do you feel about this one. 474 00:28:20.680 --> 00:28:23.319 I do need to see it. I'm lacking in some 475 00:28:23.440 --> 00:28:27.000 of my thy West department because I've really only seen 476 00:28:27.279 --> 00:28:31.599 X and Pearl. So yeah, I know this is an 477 00:28:31.640 --> 00:28:34.000 early one, like nine something like that. 478 00:28:34.200 --> 00:28:39.519 I think, right, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh nine. Yeah, that's 479 00:28:39.559 --> 00:28:42.480 a it's a really it's a weird one, but I 480 00:28:42.480 --> 00:28:44.599 think you'll like it. Greta Gerwig is great in it. 481 00:28:44.640 --> 00:28:48.400 For like a couple of minutes. This movie's great. I 482 00:28:48.400 --> 00:28:49.400 think people are gonna love it. 483 00:28:49.960 --> 00:28:53.079 Yeah. Perfect. I mean, I'll definitely catch out for sure. 484 00:28:54.400 --> 00:28:57.160 Next one, Keno announced that they are doing The Great 485 00:28:57.160 --> 00:28:59.839 Gatsby from nineteen forty nine on Blu Ray soon. This 486 00:29:00.119 --> 00:29:02.440 is from a four K scan of the OCN and 487 00:29:02.480 --> 00:29:08.680 it's probably the exact same release that Imprint did last year. 488 00:29:10.640 --> 00:29:15.119 Interesting movie. Not my favorite Gatsby, but I think people 489 00:29:15.279 --> 00:29:18.160 that have never seen they're gonna be happy with it. 490 00:29:18.200 --> 00:29:20.440 This is only the second HD release Imprint had the 491 00:29:20.440 --> 00:29:22.960 first one, so I think if you've never seen it, 492 00:29:22.960 --> 00:29:24.000 it's a good one to check out. 493 00:29:24.640 --> 00:29:28.200 Yeah. I mean, I enjoy Alden Ladd in movies. I 494 00:29:28.319 --> 00:29:31.200 watched Like the Glass Be a little while back. That's 495 00:29:31.240 --> 00:29:34.200 a good one. I sort of cracked up when I 496 00:29:34.240 --> 00:29:36.240 looked at this and it said it's also in the 497 00:29:36.279 --> 00:29:40.680 Dark Side of Cinema box set whatever. Yep, And we're 498 00:29:40.759 --> 00:29:42.559 at the point where it's like, is there more box 499 00:29:42.599 --> 00:29:44.640 sets or super Bowls? Like when you get to the 500 00:29:44.960 --> 00:29:48.119 Roman numeral gibberish and it's like you just start to 501 00:29:48.200 --> 00:29:52.960 give up on counting it all, you know, that's what twenty. 502 00:29:52.200 --> 00:29:54.799 Six, twenty six. Yeah, this will also be in the 503 00:29:54.839 --> 00:29:57.720 twenty six film Noir box from Kinos, So they think 504 00:29:57.799 --> 00:30:02.400 this is enough for people to purchase standalone and uh, 505 00:30:02.519 --> 00:30:04.839 one in the box set for others. So they must 506 00:30:04.880 --> 00:30:06.039 have a lot of faith in this one. 507 00:30:06.319 --> 00:30:09.480 Yeah, it's been a while. Gatsby a nor I don't know, 508 00:30:09.559 --> 00:30:12.680 they're just sort of throwing anything in there, so ish 509 00:30:12.720 --> 00:30:14.920 maybe all right, it's been a while. 510 00:30:15.400 --> 00:30:17.079 It's just dowlan led so it must be in one. 511 00:30:17.240 --> 00:30:18.680 Yeah, there you go. That works. 512 00:30:19.599 --> 00:30:22.480 Uh, next one. Keno is also putting out Shout at 513 00:30:22.480 --> 00:30:24.720 the Devil from nineteen seventy six. This is coming. On 514 00:30:24.759 --> 00:30:28.279 December seventeenth, we had a new audio commentary by Lee Marvin, 515 00:30:28.279 --> 00:30:33.599 biographer Dwayne Epstein and Steve Mitchell accompanying him. Uh, this 516 00:30:34.039 --> 00:30:35.279 is a good looking cover. 517 00:30:35.440 --> 00:30:39.119 I'll definitely yeah, Yeah, this is definitely a film that 518 00:30:39.279 --> 00:30:40.680 I would probably get in the Keno's. 519 00:30:41.839 --> 00:30:44.279 Yes, it is that type of film for sure. 520 00:30:44.960 --> 00:30:52.160 Yeah, it looks interesting. It's the same director as in 521 00:30:52.240 --> 00:30:56.400 Her Majesty's Secret Service, I think, right, I think so. Yeah, 522 00:30:56.480 --> 00:30:59.920 Yeah it's James Bond. That's the one with Lazin be 523 00:31:00.160 --> 00:31:03.680 So everybody sort of forgets that one, right, But yeah, 524 00:31:03.839 --> 00:31:07.599 it looks interesting. I lee Marvin's a good time. So yeah, 525 00:31:07.640 --> 00:31:08.039 for sure. 526 00:31:09.160 --> 00:31:12.400 Love of these comments. Keynot should start advertising Roman Numerals as. 527 00:31:12.279 --> 00:31:14.160 A feature, Yeah, exactly. 528 00:31:16.559 --> 00:31:20.480 They also announced Hyperspace coming on three D Blu ray. 529 00:31:20.519 --> 00:31:24.039 This is from nineteen eighty four. This was starring Chris 530 00:31:24.039 --> 00:31:28.319 Elliott and Paula Poundstone, shot by Earl Dixon, directed by 531 00:31:28.319 --> 00:31:31.319 Todd Durham, and it says the special edition release also 532 00:31:31.319 --> 00:31:33.839 includes the nineteen eighty four three D short film The 533 00:31:33.960 --> 00:31:37.200 Fright Before Christmas that a lot of people have been after. 534 00:31:37.319 --> 00:31:40.480 So this looks to be a pretty great, like comprehensive disc. 535 00:31:42.200 --> 00:31:45.240 Anything that three D Film Archive touches is like really 536 00:31:45.359 --> 00:31:48.200 high quality. Definitely suggests people check this out. 537 00:31:48.720 --> 00:31:51.240 Yeah, it's I watched a little trailer of this because 538 00:31:51.240 --> 00:31:52.720 I didn't know much about it. I watched the little 539 00:31:52.720 --> 00:31:54.839 trailer and it I mean, it looks it looks dumb, 540 00:31:54.920 --> 00:31:58.079 but it looks dumb fun, So it's definitely up my alley. 541 00:31:58.119 --> 00:32:02.880 It reminded me of MBD put out Hardware Wars earlier 542 00:32:02.920 --> 00:32:05.319 this year, which I definitely recommend that as well, because 543 00:32:05.319 --> 00:32:07.920 that's just a lot of fun. So this is the 544 00:32:07.960 --> 00:32:11.839 same vein for sure. Yeah, definitely worth your time. 545 00:32:12.680 --> 00:32:15.440 Yep. Definitely one that if you are into Star Wars, 546 00:32:15.480 --> 00:32:19.960 you're gonna want to watch this. Yeah, yeah, all right, 547 00:32:20.559 --> 00:32:24.319 going to our next one, which is a big deal 548 00:32:24.440 --> 00:32:26.920 November twenty sixth, but also if you order from their 549 00:32:26.960 --> 00:32:30.359 website at shipping now. Media Blasters is releasing a four 550 00:32:30.480 --> 00:32:34.200 K and Blu ray release of Photo the New Generation 551 00:32:34.319 --> 00:32:37.799 from nineteen ninety six. This is not only Media blasters 552 00:32:37.839 --> 00:32:41.799 first four K release ever, this is the first Takashi 553 00:32:42.200 --> 00:32:46.559 mik film on four K ever. Really super surprising that 554 00:32:46.680 --> 00:32:49.359 this is the first one. I would have thought that 555 00:32:49.400 --> 00:32:52.960 some of the others may have made the joke first, 556 00:32:53.079 --> 00:32:56.599 but either way, I'm glad this is coming. We got 557 00:32:57.200 --> 00:32:59.720 brand new four K restoration on this. Some audio commentaries, 558 00:32:59.759 --> 00:33:03.759 video interviews with Mik and the actor Shosa K. Teddy 559 00:33:03.799 --> 00:33:06.960 Hara And there is a side exclusive version with a 560 00:33:06.960 --> 00:33:08.839 slipcover if you want, but you can also get it 561 00:33:08.839 --> 00:33:09.400 on Amazon. 562 00:33:10.599 --> 00:33:12.599 Yeah, you would have thought Aro would have jumped on 563 00:33:12.680 --> 00:33:16.759 something and put out a four K like Audition or Audition. 564 00:33:17.000 --> 00:33:21.160 Yeah yeah, or Ichi the Killer or I don't know 565 00:33:21.160 --> 00:33:22.640 who have the rights of that one, but that, for 566 00:33:22.680 --> 00:33:25.759 sure is some of the more main mainstay ones. I've 567 00:33:25.799 --> 00:33:28.400 never seen this one by him, but I've seen quite 568 00:33:28.440 --> 00:33:31.160 a few of his mainstay ones. This one definitely what's 569 00:33:31.200 --> 00:33:33.400 interesting for sure. I watched the trailer of it. 570 00:33:34.200 --> 00:33:36.519 I've not seen this one either. I'm interested in checking it. 571 00:33:37.000 --> 00:33:39.160 Yeah. A lot of people on the letterbox said that 572 00:33:39.200 --> 00:33:43.279 it's really trashy, which I mean, that's like half his films, 573 00:33:43.440 --> 00:33:46.200 But you know, they said, but it's in a good 574 00:33:46.240 --> 00:33:47.480 sense trashy. 575 00:33:47.160 --> 00:33:48.880 So that's me k. 576 00:33:49.480 --> 00:33:51.640 Yeah. 577 00:33:51.960 --> 00:33:56.960 Next is VCI putting out two poverty row films on 578 00:33:56.960 --> 00:33:59.440 one disc. We got King of the Zombies from nineteen 579 00:33:59.480 --> 00:34:02.519 forty one and Miss v from Moscow from nineteen forty two. 580 00:34:05.119 --> 00:34:07.839 Is VCI, So first of all, keep that in mind. 581 00:34:08.039 --> 00:34:10.880 But the other thing, like, yes, I understand that these 582 00:34:10.880 --> 00:34:14.280 are attached by Poverty Row. These films aren't really anything 583 00:34:14.440 --> 00:34:17.719 like each other. Yeah, and both of these movies are 584 00:34:17.800 --> 00:34:22.480 on YouTube in decent quality. This is a really odd 585 00:34:22.559 --> 00:34:24.760 choice unless they have a new restoration and they're not 586 00:34:24.960 --> 00:34:29.000 advertising that. But even then, again, really weird double feature. 587 00:34:29.559 --> 00:34:32.079 Yeah, it's probably like King and Zombies probably has more 588 00:34:32.119 --> 00:34:34.679 of a draw and they probably were sitting on the 589 00:34:34.719 --> 00:34:36.320 other one and just said, ah, let's just throw it 590 00:34:36.360 --> 00:34:37.039 in there. 591 00:34:37.760 --> 00:34:40.280 Yet something like that. They must have had the ability 592 00:34:40.280 --> 00:34:42.440 to do it. I don't know. Anyways, you can check 593 00:34:42.440 --> 00:34:45.480 that out. This is coming January twenty first on Blu 594 00:34:45.599 --> 00:34:46.400 Ray from VCI. 595 00:34:47.000 --> 00:34:51.000 Yeah, the real cook on King is Zombi. The director's interesting. 596 00:34:51.159 --> 00:34:55.440 I watched Hill Billy's in a Haunted House the other day. 597 00:34:55.519 --> 00:34:57.880 That's from the same guy, So it's it's gonna be 598 00:34:58.000 --> 00:35:01.760 schlocky and anything from Poverty Row, you know is, But yeah, 599 00:35:01.840 --> 00:35:04.480 it'll be fine from the enthusiasts for sure. 600 00:35:05.559 --> 00:35:10.440 I love that. Gym on Facebook says quote classics. Yeah, 601 00:35:10.559 --> 00:35:13.519 Silent Mandil says, is there a mister V I mean, technically, 602 00:35:13.559 --> 00:35:14.000 I guess me. 603 00:35:14.280 --> 00:35:16.800 I guess yeah. 604 00:35:16.800 --> 00:35:19.320 Two Poverty Row picks on one disc from VCI. That's 605 00:35:19.440 --> 00:35:22.519 three bad signs. In one sentence. I couldn't have said 606 00:35:22.559 --> 00:35:25.880 it better myself. Yeah, although I believe these are both 607 00:35:25.920 --> 00:35:28.800 fairly short movies like how Ish. 608 00:35:29.559 --> 00:35:31.360 Yeah, I'm sure. 609 00:35:31.199 --> 00:35:35.840 The next coming soon on four K steel book in 610 00:35:35.880 --> 00:35:39.119 the UK and likely the US and everywhere else right 611 00:35:39.159 --> 00:35:42.840 around the same time. Yeah, from Warner Brothers Constantine from 612 00:35:42.880 --> 00:35:45.039 two thousand and five. This will be a big twentieth 613 00:35:45.079 --> 00:35:49.239 anniversary release. This is going to be having a rigid slipcase, 614 00:35:49.239 --> 00:35:52.480 a steal book, double sided posters, art cards they save 615 00:35:53.199 --> 00:35:56.639 on disc. Special features to be confirmed. I hope. I mean, 616 00:35:56.679 --> 00:35:58.599 like Keanu loves this movie. I'm sure he would have 617 00:35:58.639 --> 00:36:00.639 loved to talk about it. We'll see if we at anything. 618 00:36:01.679 --> 00:36:04.800 But the thing that I'm gonna bring up again Warner 619 00:36:04.840 --> 00:36:07.960 Brothers doing this whole We're gonna make you pre order 620 00:36:08.000 --> 00:36:10.599 something without knowing the artwork, without knowing when it's in 621 00:36:10.599 --> 00:36:14.400 a ship, and that is such a dirty way to 622 00:36:14.519 --> 00:36:17.199 do this in twenty twenty four. Just get your shit 623 00:36:17.280 --> 00:36:18.960 together and then put it up for pre order like 624 00:36:19.039 --> 00:36:19.679 everyone else. 625 00:36:19.960 --> 00:36:25.719 Yeah, they need to get on Hammer's level. Caps. Yeah. 626 00:36:26.320 --> 00:36:31.000 So yeah, Connstein's a good time. I remember seeing it 627 00:36:31.079 --> 00:36:33.119 way back when I've seen this thing so many Times 628 00:36:33.199 --> 00:36:36.159 own multiple copies of it. I for sure enjoy this 629 00:36:36.199 --> 00:36:41.000 film and will definitely upgrade for sure. It's a fun time. Yeah. 630 00:36:41.039 --> 00:36:44.079 I don't know about the comic book enthusiasts, and he's 631 00:36:44.119 --> 00:36:46.840 definitely sort of strayed from the character a little bit, 632 00:36:46.880 --> 00:36:49.599 but I I, you know, it's fine for me. I 633 00:36:49.679 --> 00:36:52.360 enjoy it quite a bit. So it's a lot of fun. 634 00:36:53.079 --> 00:36:55.440 And the other thing like, if the restoration is done right, 635 00:36:55.639 --> 00:36:58.000 this with HDR could look very good. 636 00:36:58.320 --> 00:37:01.119 Yeah. Yeah, yeah, this thing's a blast. 637 00:37:03.440 --> 00:37:06.840 Sibboners says they've already confirmed Constantine tou so just wait 638 00:37:06.880 --> 00:37:08.960 to build on the hype. Was that confirmed? I thought 639 00:37:08.960 --> 00:37:12.519 it was just a semi rumored and like Keanu trying 640 00:37:12.519 --> 00:37:14.159 to get it interesting. I didn't know it was confirmed. 641 00:37:15.559 --> 00:37:17.880 They're gonna bring everybody back? Are they gonna tie down 642 00:37:18.079 --> 00:37:18.760 shil above? 643 00:37:19.920 --> 00:37:23.400 Uh? This is pointless now because you can't use it. 644 00:37:23.440 --> 00:37:27.199 But the Criterion Collection had their fall flash sale like 645 00:37:27.239 --> 00:37:30.880 they always do. Usually it would have been the previous week, 646 00:37:30.960 --> 00:37:33.119 but the flash sale day would have landed on the 647 00:37:33.159 --> 00:37:35.199 new announcement day, so they delayed it a week to 648 00:37:35.239 --> 00:37:36.960 do this. Did you get anything in this one? 649 00:37:37.840 --> 00:37:42.119 Uh? Gummo happiness real quick. I can, I can wait 650 00:37:42.239 --> 00:37:45.519 until the Barns sale. But I think it's good for 651 00:37:45.559 --> 00:37:47.360 what it is. A lot of people are sitting on 652 00:37:47.400 --> 00:37:50.599 their their coupons and so it's a good time to 653 00:37:50.679 --> 00:37:53.480 use it. And I get that Criterion sort of wants 654 00:37:53.480 --> 00:37:56.000 to get their own piece of action before Barnes and 655 00:37:56.000 --> 00:37:58.960 Noble probably takes a chunk of it. So it totally 656 00:37:59.000 --> 00:38:01.000 makes sense. With the sale, I just sort of got 657 00:38:01.039 --> 00:38:01.719 it and got out. 658 00:38:02.320 --> 00:38:06.639 Yeah. Yeah, Eric got the Before trilogy. Good job, that's 659 00:38:06.679 --> 00:38:07.440 a masterpiece. 660 00:38:08.599 --> 00:38:11.039 I'd still got plenty from this summer sale that I 661 00:38:11.079 --> 00:38:13.519 gotta watch. So it's like, I can, I can wait 662 00:38:13.599 --> 00:38:14.159 a little bit. 663 00:38:14.639 --> 00:38:19.599 Yeah, let's stand on. Constantine says nothing is ever confirmed. 664 00:38:19.599 --> 00:38:20.719 Just ask Joaquin Phoenix. 665 00:38:20.840 --> 00:38:24.960 Yeah, yeah, true che Yeah. 666 00:38:25.199 --> 00:38:29.440 Uh. Manda Micabre's Halloween sale is currently live. This is 667 00:38:29.480 --> 00:38:33.280 live until October twenty seventh. The pre orders that are 668 00:38:33.280 --> 00:38:36.480 available as well are Cafe Flesh on four K, Bohachi 669 00:38:36.480 --> 00:38:39.079 Bushido on four K, The Girl Slaves of Morgana La 670 00:38:39.079 --> 00:38:43.440 Fe on four K, and The Punishment. You can still 671 00:38:43.480 --> 00:38:45.360 pre order off our four of those as far as 672 00:38:45.360 --> 00:38:49.920 I know. However, Uh, this has done oh so well 673 00:38:50.000 --> 00:38:55.880 for Monta Micabro. Yeah, Cafe Flesh is almost sold out already, Jared. 674 00:38:55.960 --> 00:38:58.400 If you listen to the Mona Micabre podcast episode that 675 00:38:58.440 --> 00:39:00.760 went up earlier this week, he's said that this should 676 00:39:00.800 --> 00:39:04.519 be available for a month or so at the very least, 677 00:39:04.599 --> 00:39:07.239 and it looks like Cafe Flesh will likely sell out 678 00:39:07.239 --> 00:39:08.599 tonight or tomorrow morning. 679 00:39:09.800 --> 00:39:15.119 Yeah. I mean I loved Doctor Calgary and so I 680 00:39:15.239 --> 00:39:19.440 was obviously Cafe Flesh right off the bat. I'm sold 681 00:39:19.679 --> 00:39:24.679 on that whole crazy wonky all the above. So yeah, 682 00:39:24.719 --> 00:39:27.199 I got to pick a few things from this. I'm 683 00:39:27.719 --> 00:39:32.039 one of the sections of my collection that I definitely 684 00:39:32.039 --> 00:39:35.119 need to catch up to speed on is Mondo Macabre. 685 00:39:35.760 --> 00:39:38.079 So I definitely put a little bit of a dent. 686 00:39:38.199 --> 00:39:40.280 Not crazy, but I definitely want to catch up to 687 00:39:40.280 --> 00:39:43.079 speed with him. So I grabbed a couple from this one. 688 00:39:44.119 --> 00:39:49.119 So I got, like, uh, what I get? Killer Dolls. 689 00:39:49.239 --> 00:39:51.159 I guess a lot of people are talking about that one, 690 00:39:51.320 --> 00:39:57.239 and yeah, blood Spattered Bride and Beast of the Magic 691 00:39:57.280 --> 00:40:01.440 Sword looked crazy. Yeah, yeah, it'll be fun time. So 692 00:40:01.639 --> 00:40:02.039 for sure. 693 00:40:03.960 --> 00:40:05.800 We got a question here from Seminary, says Ryan, do 694 00:40:05.880 --> 00:40:08.119 they confirm how many copies were done? Yes, they did 695 00:40:08.159 --> 00:40:11.000 for all of the titles, but Hachi Bushido and Cafe 696 00:40:11.079 --> 00:40:14.840 Flesh were both two thousand copies, and I believe Morgana 697 00:40:14.920 --> 00:40:17.480 la Fay and The Punishment were both fifteen hundred. I 698 00:40:17.599 --> 00:40:20.800 may be wrong on Morgana la Fae, but it is 699 00:40:20.840 --> 00:40:22.159 on the site. Let me see if I can look 700 00:40:22.199 --> 00:40:25.400 that up before I say the wrong thing. It is 701 00:40:33.480 --> 00:40:35.639 two thousand copies, so I was wrong. Yeah, Morgano la 702 00:40:35.679 --> 00:40:38.960 Fay also two thousand copies. But the big thing, all 703 00:40:39.000 --> 00:40:41.440 of these will have standard copies. If you don't want 704 00:40:42.280 --> 00:40:44.599 you know, the booklet or the slipcover or anything like that, 705 00:40:44.800 --> 00:40:48.119 just wait. It'll be back in stock for the retail edition. 706 00:40:48.239 --> 00:40:51.559 It'll likely not be in stock until like April or May, 707 00:40:52.000 --> 00:40:53.800 so as long as you have no problem waiting, you'll 708 00:40:53.960 --> 00:41:00.199 still be able to get them. Don't worry. Yeah, this is, 709 00:41:00.719 --> 00:41:03.440 like I said, available till the twenty seventh. Check it out, 710 00:41:03.480 --> 00:41:06.119 and if you want Cafe Flesh, sooner than later. Although 711 00:41:06.199 --> 00:41:08.719 keep in mind the brand new four titles are not 712 00:41:08.760 --> 00:41:11.679 shipping until January, so if you want sale titles as well, 713 00:41:11.880 --> 00:41:13.760 you might want to do two orders. 714 00:41:14.880 --> 00:41:17.719 Yeah that makes sense. I'm good, I got playing to watch, 715 00:41:17.800 --> 00:41:20.159 but yeah, through it all in one file, but I'm 716 00:41:20.159 --> 00:41:22.559 good it'll be a good surprise couple of months from now. 717 00:41:23.079 --> 00:41:26.519 And agree with jim Mondo rules. They speak to my 718 00:41:26.639 --> 00:41:27.840 taste almost exactly. 719 00:41:28.719 --> 00:41:31.519 Yeah. Yeah, definitely a lot of fun. I'm definitely happy 720 00:41:31.519 --> 00:41:33.039 that I'm catching up speed with them. 721 00:41:34.519 --> 00:41:37.880 Next one is another piece of important news. This is 722 00:41:37.920 --> 00:41:41.199 just kind of a reminder that Something Weird Video is 723 00:41:41.239 --> 00:41:44.239 shutting down the downloads and the DVD rs that they've 724 00:41:44.239 --> 00:41:47.360 been selling from their websites. You can only get that 725 00:41:47.519 --> 00:41:49.760 until Halloween, which means you only got one more week. 726 00:41:49.840 --> 00:41:53.000 As of the time of this recording. The website is 727 00:41:53.000 --> 00:41:55.239 not going away. Something Weird is not going away. It's 728 00:41:55.440 --> 00:41:59.000 just the dvdrs and the downloads. They're still going to 729 00:41:59.039 --> 00:42:01.559 be doing like restorate with other companies, still going to 730 00:42:01.639 --> 00:42:04.320 be selling some of those Blu ray discs and all that. 731 00:42:05.679 --> 00:42:08.159 Just the dvd rs and the downloads are going away. 732 00:42:08.280 --> 00:42:10.280 Lisa will always be a part of this, I'm sure. 733 00:42:11.079 --> 00:42:13.599 The big thing is they weren't selling very many, so 734 00:42:13.599 --> 00:42:16.000 they said, why are we keeping this available and making 735 00:42:16.079 --> 00:42:18.480 it a headache for us? So they're just cutting this out. 736 00:42:18.519 --> 00:42:20.679 But they announced it very far in advance, so that 737 00:42:20.719 --> 00:42:22.440 everybody could have a chance to get what they wanted. 738 00:42:22.840 --> 00:42:25.480 It's a great deal. If you want your stuff, get 739 00:42:25.519 --> 00:42:27.760 in there and do it. However, you only have a 740 00:42:27.800 --> 00:42:28.440 week left. 741 00:42:28.960 --> 00:42:32.199 Yeah, yeah, I wandered around in there, looked at it. It 742 00:42:32.199 --> 00:42:34.400 was fun stuff. I have a lot of their stuff 743 00:42:34.440 --> 00:42:36.840 on physical media. But yeah, I appreciate the work that 744 00:42:36.840 --> 00:42:39.519 they're doing. And yeah, for sure, there's a lot of weird, 745 00:42:39.559 --> 00:42:40.480 crazy stuff there. 746 00:42:41.320 --> 00:42:44.000 It's true, there's a lot of lot of weird things. 747 00:42:44.039 --> 00:42:47.280 As they said, the big thing is that their partnerships 748 00:42:47.280 --> 00:42:49.119 are amazing. I mean the stuff they do with the AGFA, 749 00:42:49.199 --> 00:42:52.880 the Kino discs that they've got, They've worked with a 750 00:42:52.880 --> 00:42:54.960 handful of others. It's it's great. 751 00:42:55.639 --> 00:42:59.039 Yeah, I got a whole pile of those Kino like 752 00:42:59.079 --> 00:43:02.400 the Drugs films and all those that. Yep, someday it's 753 00:43:02.440 --> 00:43:04.599 a project of mine to like watch them all in order. 754 00:43:04.719 --> 00:43:08.519 So there's like thirteen editions of them sitting there. Who knows, 755 00:43:08.679 --> 00:43:09.719 but yeah. 756 00:43:10.119 --> 00:43:12.159 Well now I think they're up to seventeen or eighteen, 757 00:43:12.199 --> 00:43:12.480 so good. 758 00:43:12.559 --> 00:43:15.920 Yeah, I know I'm missing a few, but yeah, for sure. 759 00:43:16.760 --> 00:43:19.920 All right, Next up, I put a new interview up 760 00:43:19.920 --> 00:43:22.880 on the channel with Eugenio Eklani. He is the on 761 00:43:22.960 --> 00:43:26.679 the Grand producer who goes between Rome and London and 762 00:43:26.760 --> 00:43:31.639 helps like every company out there. Basically, he is one 763 00:43:31.639 --> 00:43:34.599 of the most knowledgeable people in physical media. And I'm 764 00:43:34.679 --> 00:43:36.880 really happy with this conversation. I hope people check it out. 765 00:43:36.960 --> 00:43:40.079 He we get into some like existential stuff about his 766 00:43:40.239 --> 00:43:43.599 purpose in life and talk about how much he's contributed 767 00:43:43.639 --> 00:43:45.440 to over the last year and what makes him happy. 768 00:43:45.920 --> 00:43:48.239 And it's just it's great to see somebody that is 769 00:43:48.280 --> 00:43:51.119 truly passionate about all of these films like we all are. 770 00:43:51.639 --> 00:43:53.159 Yeah, definitely. 771 00:43:54.599 --> 00:43:57.400 Going to our next one. I'm stoke. This is getting 772 00:43:57.480 --> 00:44:01.519 released November nineteenth. Frago Rock Back to the Rock Season 773 00:44:01.679 --> 00:44:05.760 one is getting a physical media release from Sony Pictures. 774 00:44:07.039 --> 00:44:09.719 Kind of surprising. This was a streaming only title and 775 00:44:09.760 --> 00:44:13.079 now here here it is. This This season had a 776 00:44:13.119 --> 00:44:16.360 lot of like special guest We've got Davd Diggs that 777 00:44:16.440 --> 00:44:20.239 was on it, Ed Helm's, Patty LaBelle Keenan Thompson, Cynthia Revo, 778 00:44:22.320 --> 00:44:24.360 the Foo Fighters. But I know that they're looked down 779 00:44:24.360 --> 00:44:27.000 on at the moment. Anyways, frag of Rock Back to 780 00:44:27.039 --> 00:44:29.480 the Rock, I mean it's a handsome thing. Everybody should 781 00:44:29.480 --> 00:44:30.320 love it. It's amazing. 782 00:44:31.119 --> 00:44:33.239 Yeah, and it's I mean, it's good to see stuff 783 00:44:33.280 --> 00:44:36.239 like this get physical release because it's sorted in the 784 00:44:36.280 --> 00:44:40.159 streaming only land. At least that's what people would pragmatically 785 00:44:40.199 --> 00:44:43.599 think prior, where it's sort of set it and then 786 00:44:43.639 --> 00:44:47.360 forget it kind of thing. Obviously, I haven't seen this one. 787 00:44:47.400 --> 00:44:51.440 I've seen obviously the original show plenty of times. Right, 788 00:44:52.000 --> 00:44:55.480 But yeah, definitely it'd be an interesting watch to see. 789 00:44:55.519 --> 00:44:57.800 But yeah, I like that. This is a good sign 790 00:44:58.000 --> 00:45:00.480 in general that a lot of the stuff that would 791 00:45:01.000 --> 00:45:03.400 just be a quick gimmick and then thrown out the 792 00:45:03.400 --> 00:45:05.719 window was definitely being put out there. 793 00:45:06.239 --> 00:45:10.679 Agreed there, Uh, never let go. This is the newest 794 00:45:10.679 --> 00:45:14.599 halle Berry film. This was directed by Alexandra Aja. This 795 00:45:14.679 --> 00:45:17.440 is coming on Blu Ray DVD from lions Gate on 796 00:45:17.760 --> 00:45:20.880 December third. No word on special features yet, but it's 797 00:45:20.960 --> 00:45:24.199 lions Gates, so I really wouldn't expect very much that 798 00:45:24.360 --> 00:45:26.960 their new stuff they don't put a lot into unfortunately, 799 00:45:27.000 --> 00:45:29.039 But I've heard really good things about this one. Did 800 00:45:29.079 --> 00:45:29.840 you go see this one? 801 00:45:30.599 --> 00:45:35.519 Uh? No, I haven't. Was this was it primarily on 802 00:45:35.599 --> 00:45:37.320 streaming or was it? I don't know. 803 00:45:38.119 --> 00:45:40.320 I feel like this was a theatrical release, but I'm 804 00:45:40.360 --> 00:45:41.119 not sure was it. 805 00:45:41.239 --> 00:45:44.280 Okay, No, I have I'm a little rusty on some 806 00:45:44.360 --> 00:45:46.920 of these, but yeah, I mean I know the director 807 00:45:46.960 --> 00:45:50.159 obviously from the French extremity stuff. I've seen that plenty 808 00:45:50.159 --> 00:45:55.039 of times. What's it called it's leaving my mind at 809 00:45:55.039 --> 00:45:58.920 the second high tension? Yeah, I've seen that plenty of times. 810 00:45:59.079 --> 00:46:01.119 But yeah, it looks in interesting. It's one that maybe 811 00:46:01.159 --> 00:46:05.320 I would run into randomly. Oh, I guess it's a Netflix. 812 00:46:05.559 --> 00:46:08.920 Yeah, a Netflix movie, So I guess the. 813 00:46:09.480 --> 00:46:12.559 Same going with Fraggle Rock there is you know what, 814 00:46:12.679 --> 00:46:15.719 I'm glad that this has got a physical format for 815 00:46:15.760 --> 00:46:18.760 the one person out there that definitely wants it for sure. 816 00:46:20.840 --> 00:46:23.280 Next up is a White Bird. This is from this year, 817 00:46:23.360 --> 00:46:26.280 also coming on Blue Rain DVD on December third, from Lionsgate. 818 00:46:26.639 --> 00:46:29.880 This is with Helen Mirren and this is from the 819 00:46:29.880 --> 00:46:34.199 same person that wrote Wonder. The book Wonder I'm supposed 820 00:46:34.199 --> 00:46:37.840 to be like a inspirational story. I've somehow heard that 821 00:46:37.920 --> 00:46:40.280 this is pretty good too, huh. 822 00:46:40.599 --> 00:46:43.800 I think I remember Wonder that was a movie. Julie 823 00:46:43.880 --> 00:46:45.559 Roberts was in that thing. 824 00:46:45.599 --> 00:46:48.320 I think it's been a while it was Zach Braff, 825 00:46:48.400 --> 00:46:50.800 I know that, yeah, and then. 826 00:46:50.800 --> 00:46:55.039 It's it was like a heartwarming film about kid has 827 00:46:55.119 --> 00:46:58.599 physical deformity, and then you know they're talking about the 828 00:46:59.000 --> 00:47:02.840 power of I Forget. But yeah, yeah, I think I 829 00:47:02.920 --> 00:47:05.239 remember that being a decent film. It's been a while, 830 00:47:05.280 --> 00:47:06.559 so yeah, this looks interesting. 831 00:47:07.199 --> 00:47:11.360 Sibbonar says it's a prequel to Wonder. Oh okay, I 832 00:47:11.360 --> 00:47:18.000 didn't realize they were connected. That's interesting. Alrighty. Next Dark 833 00:47:18.079 --> 00:47:22.480 Side Releasing is putting out well, you can purchase it now. Actually, 834 00:47:22.480 --> 00:47:25.639 it's out now Blu Ray for Dead Name from twenty 835 00:47:25.679 --> 00:47:31.519 twenty four. This is a movie that is directed by 836 00:47:31.559 --> 00:47:34.679 Warren Badensky, and it's got an audio commentary on it 837 00:47:34.800 --> 00:47:37.599 and Sympathy's Fall of Rude and music video some interviews 838 00:47:37.599 --> 00:47:41.679 with the cast and crew. Looks like a fairly indie horror. 839 00:47:42.480 --> 00:47:44.440 Ah. This is not a prequel to. 840 00:47:44.400 --> 00:47:47.920 Wonder, Probably not, I mean with this cover. 841 00:47:49.000 --> 00:47:52.679 Yeah, huh, yeah, I've never heard of that company. Yeah. 842 00:47:52.800 --> 00:47:56.880 Keno putting out Mister Monk's Last Case a Monk movie. 843 00:47:57.119 --> 00:48:00.199 This is coming on December seventeenth. The extras get it's 844 00:48:00.239 --> 00:48:03.760 an internet and TV spot and that's it. I'm kind 845 00:48:03.800 --> 00:48:06.000 of kind of surprised they didn't do anything for this 846 00:48:06.199 --> 00:48:08.679 at all, like get Tony Shalaloub to comment on his 847 00:48:08.840 --> 00:48:10.440 long career on this show. 848 00:48:11.079 --> 00:48:14.159 Yeah, yeah, yeah. If there's one thing that Keino's doing, 849 00:48:14.239 --> 00:48:18.679 it's the dark side of film noir and Monk seasons. 850 00:48:18.880 --> 00:48:20.280 This should be the end of it, I think. 851 00:48:20.320 --> 00:48:23.679 Yeah, But you know, I'm glad to see it. I've 852 00:48:24.400 --> 00:48:28.440 I've enjoyed Monk like the next person on syndicated television, 853 00:48:29.559 --> 00:48:32.199 so I haven't been a crazy fan, but I enjoy 854 00:48:32.239 --> 00:48:35.199 it for what it is. I randomly saw Tony Shaloub 855 00:48:35.199 --> 00:48:37.119 in an airport once, but that's it. 856 00:48:38.000 --> 00:48:41.719 Yet another streaming movie that is coming to physical as well. 857 00:48:42.320 --> 00:48:44.280 Yeah, yeah, good to see it. 858 00:48:45.400 --> 00:48:48.920 Next is The Killer Is Loose. Speaking of good Kino art, 859 00:48:48.960 --> 00:48:52.880 this one is great. Yeah. December seventeenth. This is coming 860 00:48:52.880 --> 00:48:55.079 on Blu Ray. This is from nineteen fifty six, starring 861 00:48:55.159 --> 00:48:58.400 Joseph Cotton, directed by the one and only Bud Betteker 862 00:48:58.599 --> 00:49:01.119 and we got a commentary on here by Gary Garani 863 00:49:01.440 --> 00:49:05.960 and a trailer. This is like an exact what we 864 00:49:05.960 --> 00:49:08.239 were saying earlier. This is a when there's a keynosale, 865 00:49:08.280 --> 00:49:09.159 I am picking this up. 866 00:49:09.400 --> 00:49:13.480 Yeah, Yeah, for sure, I'm definitely interested. I am sitting 867 00:49:13.519 --> 00:49:20.119 on Baker's his Western set from Criterion, and part of 868 00:49:20.159 --> 00:49:23.079 me is crazy in the sense that I have intentions 869 00:49:23.119 --> 00:49:25.960 to watch an entire box set from front to back, 870 00:49:26.119 --> 00:49:28.119 and that's the only reason why I haven't gotten to 871 00:49:28.199 --> 00:49:30.480 it yet, even though it's four films and they are 872 00:49:30.519 --> 00:49:32.239 not that long. But I need to just sit down 873 00:49:32.280 --> 00:49:35.199 and watch that thing. But yeah, I know that, just 874 00:49:35.239 --> 00:49:37.519 like I would love those films, I'm gonna love this 875 00:49:37.559 --> 00:49:40.079 film because there's just a sense of how he makes 876 00:49:40.119 --> 00:49:43.800 films and like they're sort of little gritty be kind 877 00:49:43.840 --> 00:49:47.639 of movies, but they're fun in their novelty kind of sense. Yeah, 878 00:49:47.679 --> 00:49:48.719 I'm all about this one. 879 00:49:49.480 --> 00:49:59.280 Indeed. Next one, December seventeenth, Umbrella is giving Terrifier. This 880 00:49:59.679 --> 00:50:04.039 is such a crazy release. They are doing a box 881 00:50:04.079 --> 00:50:08.440 set with so much we're gonna get into. First thing 882 00:50:08.760 --> 00:50:12.320 is where do they get into the details here. This 883 00:50:12.400 --> 00:50:16.199 comprehensive set includes Terrifier, Terrifier two and Terrifier three on 884 00:50:16.400 --> 00:50:20.679 four K, and the anthology prequel film All Hollows Eve, 885 00:50:20.800 --> 00:50:23.920 so you get everything art the clown Possible all coming 886 00:50:23.960 --> 00:50:26.599 in this box set. This is the first time anywhere 887 00:50:26.599 --> 00:50:28.119 in the world that the first film has been on 888 00:50:28.159 --> 00:50:31.039 four K, So if you are four K rider, die, 889 00:50:31.039 --> 00:50:33.320 this is finally the one for you. There was a 890 00:50:33.320 --> 00:50:36.559 steable announced in the UK, but it got delayed and 891 00:50:36.559 --> 00:50:39.239 then delayed again, and it might be coming next year 892 00:50:39.519 --> 00:50:43.679 or who knows, but this is already I think the 893 00:50:43.840 --> 00:50:47.079 fourth or fifth release I've talked about for Terrifier. So 894 00:50:47.159 --> 00:50:50.360 I do want to say to everybody, this is going 895 00:50:50.480 --> 00:50:55.559 to be the most exploited title and series in physical 896 00:50:55.599 --> 00:50:59.360 media in modern horror for the next handful of years. 897 00:50:59.440 --> 00:51:03.280 This is going to be the big one. This set has, 898 00:51:03.559 --> 00:51:05.639 like I said, all the films four K and then 899 00:51:05.639 --> 00:51:09.719 the anthology prequel on Blu Ray and the exclusive version 900 00:51:09.719 --> 00:51:13.519 from the Umbrella Store has an one hundred and eighty 901 00:51:13.559 --> 00:51:16.159 piece brick set.

There are exclusive features for Terrifier three, so 909 00:51:47.840 --> 00:51:50.679 if you really love this movie, this might be the 910 00:51:50.760 --> 00:51:52.679 release to get because nobody else is going to have 911 00:51:52.719 --> 00:51:57.719 those bonus features. This is a crazy release, and I 912 00:51:57.760 --> 00:52:00.920 gotta be honest. I talk about bad pricing a lot 913 00:52:00.960 --> 00:52:04.039 on here. The fact that this comes out to only 914 00:52:04.119 --> 00:52:07.960 I think one hundred and thirty five dollars US before shipping, Like, 915 00:52:08.000 --> 00:52:09.760 if you buy anything else for five dollars, you get 916 00:52:09.800 --> 00:52:12.280 free shipping, But one hundred and thirty five dollars for 917 00:52:12.320 --> 00:52:16.480 this entire bundle is kind of a pretty great price. 918 00:52:17.199 --> 00:52:20.159 Yeah. Yeah, it's gonna be like what was it that 919 00:52:20.320 --> 00:52:24.719 Collegio set this brick times three? 920 00:52:26.760 --> 00:52:30.360 The crazy thing though, Uh, They've already announced a fourth film, 921 00:52:30.599 --> 00:52:33.480 So for me, I would never buy this box set 922 00:52:33.519 --> 00:52:36.199 because I know there's more coming and they've even hinted 923 00:52:36.239 --> 00:52:39.159 they might be a fifth one. So I mean, do 924 00:52:39.239 --> 00:52:40.719 you want to go all in and buy a box 925 00:52:40.719 --> 00:52:42.760 set every time? Do you want to you know, get 926 00:52:42.800 --> 00:52:44.880 the exclusives and sell the box set of the movies 927 00:52:44.920 --> 00:52:48.119 and buy the next box set? Who knows. I'm not 928 00:52:48.159 --> 00:52:50.719 gonna tell you either way, but this is wild, Like 929 00:52:50.760 --> 00:52:53.239 there are so many people in the mainstream world that 930 00:52:53.360 --> 00:52:56.480 love Terrifier right now that are buying this just because 931 00:52:56.519 --> 00:53:01.159 it's the best looking release of Terrifier. They're going to 932 00:53:01.280 --> 00:53:03.719 sell a metric shit ton of these. 933 00:53:03.960 --> 00:53:06.320 Yeah, but they needed they need to pull a Charles 934 00:53:06.320 --> 00:53:09.960 Band and like full Moon and then like they give 935 00:53:10.000 --> 00:53:13.280 you like the evil Bong box that but then they say, hey, 936 00:53:13.280 --> 00:53:16.039 look there's like ninety of these coming, and so they 937 00:53:16.159 --> 00:53:19.639 leave like this whole cardboard like half empty, so you 938 00:53:19.639 --> 00:53:22.960 can put your additional evil bong movies in there. That's 939 00:53:23.000 --> 00:53:26.400 what they need to do with Just geez. Yeah, this 940 00:53:26.519 --> 00:53:29.000 movie is the movie that will never quit. You know, 941 00:53:29.480 --> 00:53:32.280 I'm all four people who enjoy it. I like it 942 00:53:33.239 --> 00:53:36.039 to a degree. I've seen the first one. In the 943 00:53:36.079 --> 00:53:39.559 second one once a piece. I still need to see that. 944 00:53:40.559 --> 00:53:45.079 The first one. That's like an anthology. It gets a 945 00:53:45.119 --> 00:53:48.719 little taxing after a while. I definitely like the gore 946 00:53:49.000 --> 00:53:53.559 and the physical effects. I think it's a celebration of that. 947 00:53:54.599 --> 00:53:56.239 Do I think it's in its head a little bit 948 00:53:56.320 --> 00:53:58.679 too much? Yeah? Probably, for sure. 949 00:53:58.960 --> 00:54:00.519 It's up something a little too. 950 00:54:00.440 --> 00:54:04.199 Yeah it is. It's it's definitely huff in a little 951 00:54:04.199 --> 00:54:06.960 bit too much of its own fumes. But you know, 952 00:54:07.000 --> 00:54:09.760 there's gonna be some people that, you know, love the 953 00:54:09.800 --> 00:54:13.119 movies and it's all for it, you know. So yeah, 954 00:54:13.159 --> 00:54:15.599 I'm not I'm not opposed to rewatching as well. So 955 00:54:15.840 --> 00:54:18.760 I don't hate them. It's just I'm not crazy. 956 00:54:19.159 --> 00:54:21.719 Yeah, I literally the exact same feelings. I do not 957 00:54:21.840 --> 00:54:25.360 hate them, I don't certainly don't love them. I have 958 00:54:25.599 --> 00:54:27.760 never once had a desire to go throw on a 959 00:54:27.880 --> 00:54:32.719 terrifier film. I'm very happy that they have made practical 960 00:54:32.719 --> 00:54:35.800 effects an important part of the series. I'm also very 961 00:54:35.800 --> 00:54:40.880 happy that a basically a tiny budget Christmas set really 962 00:54:40.920 --> 00:54:44.039 gruesome horror slasher it was the top film at the 963 00:54:44.079 --> 00:54:46.159 box office for a weekend. That sends a lot of 964 00:54:46.199 --> 00:54:49.159 shockwaves through the industry. As many people don't think that's 965 00:54:49.199 --> 00:54:53.840 a big deal, it truly is. I'm I'm stoked for 966 00:54:53.920 --> 00:54:56.760 Damian Leoni. I just don't really care about the movies 967 00:54:56.760 --> 00:54:57.159 all day. 968 00:54:58.519 --> 00:55:02.119 Yeah, I mean, it's it's its own celebration. I'll never 969 00:55:02.440 --> 00:55:05.599 really put it down. Yeah, like I said, I think 970 00:55:05.599 --> 00:55:08.039 it's huffing a little bit too much of its own fumes. 971 00:55:08.079 --> 00:55:10.840 But you know, I enjoy it at the end of 972 00:55:10.920 --> 00:55:11.920 the day for what it is. 973 00:55:12.639 --> 00:55:15.559 What's crazy is if this isn't enough Terrifier for you, 974 00:55:16.320 --> 00:55:19.599 Umbrella has shirts for a pre order right now, They 975 00:55:19.639 --> 00:55:23.360 have art wrapping paper. They even have a shirt that 976 00:55:23.400 --> 00:55:27.159 they're not revealing the design, saying it's too gruesome, and 977 00:55:27.280 --> 00:55:30.599 one of the like subtitle for it says who would 978 00:55:30.679 --> 00:55:33.920 even wear this? Seriously? But that's crazy to me that 979 00:55:33.960 --> 00:55:36.639 you can pre order it without even knowing the design. Yeah, 980 00:55:37.280 --> 00:55:39.159 I love the Umbrella's doing it. They are all in 981 00:55:39.239 --> 00:55:40.880 on it. I think that this is going to be 982 00:55:40.920 --> 00:55:45.119 if you love Terrifyer your favorite release probably well. 983 00:55:45.159 --> 00:55:47.039 And it fits in with the theme of like its 984 00:55:47.079 --> 00:55:51.239 film as an event right oh you know, and definitely 985 00:55:51.280 --> 00:55:54.480 not might pop up later on, but you know, more 986 00:55:54.519 --> 00:55:55.480 power to it for what. 987 00:55:55.480 --> 00:56:01.280 It's doing, all right. Next up, Celluloid Dreams has announced 988 00:56:01.320 --> 00:56:03.119 their next title that's coming out on four K, and 989 00:56:03.119 --> 00:56:06.239 that a short Night of Glass Dolls from nineteen seventy one. 990 00:56:06.760 --> 00:56:11.079 This is a hiallo film that was previously released by 991 00:56:11.119 --> 00:56:14.719 Twilight Time. Has been out of print for some time, 992 00:56:14.840 --> 00:56:18.159 but it's also not that out of reach. I know 993 00:56:18.199 --> 00:56:21.840 a lot of Twilight Time films have exploded in value 994 00:56:21.840 --> 00:56:23.320 and you can't find them for like less than one 995 00:56:23.360 --> 00:56:27.639 hundred and twenty dollars. This one is still pretty gettable. However, 996 00:56:28.199 --> 00:56:31.880 it was a decent Blu ray release. I was hoping 997 00:56:31.960 --> 00:56:34.239 for a little more obscure from them, like when they 998 00:56:34.280 --> 00:56:37.840 announced Black Belly the Tarantula that was the kind of 999 00:56:37.840 --> 00:56:40.559 obscure I was really hoping for. This is fine, it's 1000 00:56:40.559 --> 00:56:42.519 a good movie. I'm glad that it's coming, and we'll 1001 00:56:42.519 --> 00:56:45.519 probably get a gorgeous four K release that's you know, 1002 00:56:45.599 --> 00:56:49.079 some big three or four disc release with art cards 1003 00:56:49.079 --> 00:56:51.440 the size of surfboards and everybody will be super happy. 1004 00:56:51.960 --> 00:56:54.280 Yeah, oh yeah, I still have a case of the 1005 00:56:54.280 --> 00:56:57.119 bloody iris I gotta get too, But yeah, I definitely 1006 00:56:57.159 --> 00:56:58.679 appreciate it for sure. 1007 00:56:58.840 --> 00:57:02.639 Yeah, if you are easy on four K transfers, I 1008 00:57:02.679 --> 00:57:06.360 will say that is genuinely one of the best four 1009 00:57:06.440 --> 00:57:10.119 K transfers the last two years. It is. 1010 00:57:12.079 --> 00:57:14.400 The dinner plates that they brought with it too, But 1011 00:57:14.480 --> 00:57:17.360 you know, that's appreciate. Somebody's gonna frame those and yeah 1012 00:57:17.440 --> 00:57:20.079 put them up or something. So yeah, definitely I'm all 1013 00:57:20.119 --> 00:57:20.400 for it. 1014 00:57:21.159 --> 00:57:24.039 Silent Man, his glass night of short dolls is better. 1015 00:57:26.599 --> 00:57:26.719 Uh. 1016 00:57:26.960 --> 00:57:30.559 I love all of these random puns about Terrifier releases 1017 00:57:30.559 --> 00:57:33.360 that we could get like Arts European Vacation art and space. 1018 00:57:33.800 --> 00:57:34.480 That'd be great. 1019 00:57:35.159 --> 00:57:35.320 Yeah. 1020 00:57:35.719 --> 00:57:40.039 Make him like National Lampoon I overs yeah. 1021 00:57:39.760 --> 00:57:42.480 Art meets Winnie the Pooh. 1022 00:57:42.559 --> 00:57:45.599 Yeah they I mean just make them till end of time. 1023 00:57:46.039 --> 00:57:49.400 That if that if that's the shock that the film 1024 00:57:49.440 --> 00:57:53.920 industry needs to keep going thirty years time and it's 1025 00:57:53.920 --> 00:57:55.159 only art the clown movies. 1026 00:57:55.280 --> 00:57:59.599 Well, David Everard Thornton will be They'll just his face 1027 00:57:59.639 --> 00:58:00.599 will be stuck. 1028 00:58:00.400 --> 00:58:01.760 Like terrorfire Yeah. 1029 00:58:01.960 --> 00:58:05.599 Yeah, Oh jeez, terrifier for Tokyo Drift.

Glad that they are still taking advantage of 1036 00:58:22.639 --> 00:58:25.679 what they're doing in the US and Canada. This one 1037 00:58:25.920 --> 00:58:29.119 is directed by Johnny Toe, a name that many people 1038 00:58:29.159 --> 00:58:30.800 have been in physical media for the last couple of 1039 00:58:30.840 --> 00:58:34.280 years will recognize once again.

Yeah, 1052 00:59:14.280 --> 00:59:17.199 this guy's ripped. The muscles on this guy are crazy. 1053 00:59:17.800 --> 00:59:19.360 Yeah. 1054 00:59:19.400 --> 00:59:22.559 But the bigger deal from Eureka over in the UK 1055 00:59:23.079 --> 00:59:29.159 they are getting not a Kira Kiyoshi Kurasawa's Cure from 1056 00:59:29.239 --> 00:59:32.920 nineteen ninety seven coming on four K. This is also 1057 00:59:33.039 --> 00:59:35.119 still part of their Master's the Cinema line, since this 1058 00:59:35.199 --> 00:59:38.880 has been released by them previously, and this has archival 1059 00:59:38.920 --> 00:59:42.239 interviews with Kyoshi and then Kim Newman on Cure, interview 1060 00:59:42.280 --> 00:59:44.159 with a critic and out there Kim Newman a collector's 1061 00:59:44.199 --> 00:59:48.599 booklet with essays on Cure by Tom mess This movie 1062 00:59:48.639 --> 00:59:52.079 will look beautiful swollen, that's the word you used.

It's cue. 1065 01:00:01.440 --> 01:00:04.559 Yeah, that's probably a precursor that it's coming four K 1066 01:00:04.760 --> 01:00:06.480 out on this side of things as. 1067 01:00:06.360 --> 01:00:09.360 Well, Criteria definitely released it on four K. 1068 01:00:09.880 --> 01:00:14.239 Yeah, a great film. Everybody who's seen here probably agrees 1069 01:00:14.320 --> 01:00:18.840 that the film's excellent. It's been a bit, but definitely 1070 01:00:18.880 --> 01:00:22.039 I want to revisit this thing. It's definitely a gritty 1071 01:00:22.320 --> 01:00:25.400 I was looking back at my review of it because 1072 01:00:25.400 --> 01:00:27.079 I I'm sort of fuzzy on it because it's been 1073 01:00:27.119 --> 01:00:29.360 a couple of years. But somehow I put the equation 1074 01:00:29.559 --> 01:00:34.760 of seven Meats Stocker like Tarcassi Stoker, and so that 1075 01:00:34.960 --> 01:00:37.639 just like reinvigorated in my brain again that yeah, I 1076 01:00:37.679 --> 01:00:40.360 definitely want to rewatch here. But yeah, I just remember 1077 01:00:40.400 --> 01:00:41.800 loving this thing when I watched it. 1078 01:00:42.559 --> 01:00:45.880 I am the lone outcast idiot. I will say I've 1079 01:00:45.920 --> 01:00:49.239 watched this once and it did nothing for me. I 1080 01:00:49.280 --> 01:00:51.039 really need to see it again. I feel like I 1081 01:00:51.079 --> 01:00:53.480 just went into it on a bad day and I'll 1082 01:00:53.480 --> 01:00:55.880 probably love it on the second watch. But man, I 1083 01:00:56.719 --> 01:00:58.960 don't get the hype for this movie at all. 1084 01:01:00.480 --> 01:01:02.920 Yeah, I mean it's been a while. Like I said, 1085 01:01:02.960 --> 01:01:05.000 I'm Buzzney, but I just remember in the moment it's 1086 01:01:05.079 --> 01:01:08.239 very atmosphere. So I definitely agree. Like if you walk 1087 01:01:08.320 --> 01:01:11.719 into it on and off day and you're not like 1088 01:01:12.239 --> 01:01:14.840 not to say, you're not fully engaged or you know, whatever, 1089 01:01:14.960 --> 01:01:18.159 is off to slightly a degree, I totally can see 1090 01:01:18.400 --> 01:01:21.719 that that happening. But yeah, I mean just full with 1091 01:01:21.920 --> 01:01:23.639 full buy in this movie. S nuts. 1092 01:01:24.519 --> 01:01:25.960 Yeah, I feel like this is one that you got 1093 01:01:26.000 --> 01:01:29.000 to watch in the dark room, no phones, nobody else 1094 01:01:29.039 --> 01:01:31.519 around other than you know, somebody else, silent on the couch. 1095 01:01:31.840 --> 01:01:33.079 This is definitely one that you got. 1096 01:01:32.920 --> 01:01:35.320 To be all in onf Yeah, yeah, for sure. 1097 01:01:37.079 --> 01:01:39.400 Similar Shaw Shank is a classic. I get it. It's 1098 01:01:39.480 --> 01:01:47.599 just overrated, That's okay. Then, the third wave of Disney 1099 01:01:47.760 --> 01:01:50.880 Steel books got announced today, and we got some weird 1100 01:01:51.039 --> 01:01:53.920 things happening here. First off, all these come out on 1101 01:01:53.960 --> 01:01:57.039 December third. The press release for these doesn't say anything 1102 01:01:57.079 --> 01:01:59.760 about Blu Ray this time, so all I see is 1103 01:01:59.760 --> 01:02:02.480 that the are coming out on four K, not on 1104 01:02:02.559 --> 01:02:05.400 Blu Ray potentially. But also it's Disney, they could change 1105 01:02:05.400 --> 01:02:07.199 their minds in the middle of the night and do 1106 01:02:07.239 --> 01:02:09.880 the same thing. The should all go up for pre 1107 01:02:10.000 --> 01:02:12.360 order by the end of next week everywhere. These are 1108 01:02:12.360 --> 01:02:15.760 not exclusives anywhere, and all of these releases are two 1109 01:02:15.840 --> 01:02:18.679 hundred gig discs and they all have Dolby Vision and 1110 01:02:18.840 --> 01:02:21.880 HDR ten, which is a great sign for Disney because 1111 01:02:21.920 --> 01:02:25.440 they were not embracing Dolby Vision for the longest time. 1112 01:02:26.599 --> 01:02:29.559 Yeah, I think Disney is smelling some of the copy 1113 01:02:29.679 --> 01:02:32.599 that they need to get back into physical media a 1114 01:02:32.639 --> 01:02:36.000 little bit. They're so all over the map and temperamental 1115 01:02:36.000 --> 01:02:38.320 in their thoughts stuff like that. 1116 01:02:38.480 --> 01:02:41.199 But yeah, we're gonna talk about Disney later, right, Blake. 1117 01:02:41.360 --> 01:02:43.800 Yeah, Yeah. 1118 01:02:43.840 --> 01:02:47.480 So this first one is the Mandalorian, the complete third season. Now, 1119 01:02:47.599 --> 01:02:50.519 a lot of people complaining because they announced this. They 1120 01:02:50.559 --> 01:02:53.599 did not announce the Book of Boba Fett, which should 1121 01:02:53.639 --> 01:02:57.639 have been the next one to come out in this saga. 1122 01:02:57.679 --> 01:03:02.559 But here we are, Sibner. Remember when Disney said they 1123 01:03:02.559 --> 01:03:04.440 would never put out a four K again. No, but 1124 01:03:04.480 --> 01:03:06.440 I remember when a YouTuber who has no idea what 1125 01:03:06.480 --> 01:03:08.679 he's talking about made the Internet think that was the case. 1126 01:03:11.000 --> 01:03:13.639 Ronnie says, I'm Dying for Nagata all along physical release. 1127 01:03:13.679 --> 01:03:15.360 I hope they get to all of them eventually. I 1128 01:03:15.360 --> 01:03:18.239 mean for people that love Marvel stuff, which I've never 1129 01:03:18.400 --> 01:03:21.079 hated Marvel stuff. Sure, I don't love the current wave, 1130 01:03:21.159 --> 01:03:23.920 but if you love Marvel like yeat release them all. 1131 01:03:24.719 --> 01:03:28.039 Yeah, just ebbs and flows and saturation. But yeah, there's 1132 01:03:28.039 --> 01:03:30.199 a lot of good ERRt there for sure, and I 1133 01:03:30.559 --> 01:03:34.760 want to see the fans get their their physical copies exactly. 1134 01:03:35.559 --> 01:03:38.480 So that is season three of The Mandalorian. There's gonna 1135 01:03:38.519 --> 01:03:40.239 be some bonus features on here as well. There's a 1136 01:03:40.280 --> 01:03:43.840 tribute to Carl Weathers, the creatures and droids of the Mandalorian, 1137 01:03:44.239 --> 01:03:48.079 and then some forgetting Forging the Covert. Part three, Jon 1138 01:03:48.119 --> 01:03:50.760 Favreau and a couple other of the filmmakers explore the 1139 01:03:50.760 --> 01:03:55.800 expanding world of season three's Mandalorian Warriors. Then the next 1140 01:03:55.840 --> 01:03:58.599 Star Wars one they announced is Ahsoka the complete first season. 1141 01:03:59.239 --> 01:04:01.559 This is gonna have some bonus features as well, joining 1142 01:04:01.559 --> 01:04:03.880 the cast and crew for a look at their developing 1143 01:04:03.960 --> 01:04:08.119 live action series, exploring the dynamic of Anakin Skywalker in 1144 01:04:08.159 --> 01:04:10.639 Ahsoka within the world, Go Deep with the spotlight on 1145 01:04:10.679 --> 01:04:14.199 Ahsoka's allies, and then uncover the secrets of Ahsoka's foes. 1146 01:04:15.480 --> 01:04:17.760 Third one is the first Marvel one of this one. 1147 01:04:17.800 --> 01:04:21.159 We got Hawkeye the complete first season. This has all 1148 01:04:21.239 --> 01:04:23.559 kinds of deleted scenes on here, plus a gag reel 1149 01:04:24.159 --> 01:04:27.840 Tale of Two Hawkeyes featurette and then the making of Hawkeye. 1150 01:04:29.000 --> 01:04:33.639 And finally we are also getting Loki the complete second season. 1151 01:04:34.760 --> 01:04:36.239 This is the only one, by the way, that will 1152 01:04:36.239 --> 01:04:38.639 be in a two point two to one aspect ratio 1153 01:04:38.800 --> 01:04:40.599 rather than two point three to nine to one like 1154 01:04:40.639 --> 01:04:44.480 the others. This will have again some deleted scenes assembled, 1155 01:04:44.480 --> 01:04:46.960 the making of a gag reel and all that stuff. 1156 01:04:47.320 --> 01:04:48.719 You're gonna pick any of these up? 1157 01:04:49.679 --> 01:04:54.039 Uh? I don't know. Maybe in the distant future. I'm 1158 01:04:54.400 --> 01:04:56.880 you know, I've actually never seen an episode of Mandalorian, 1159 01:04:56.960 --> 01:04:59.679 which is crazy, except heard a lot of good things 1160 01:04:59.679 --> 01:05:05.039 about I've seen a little bit of Loki. Eventually I 1161 01:05:05.119 --> 01:05:09.239 might get there. I'm so backlogged and doing all kinds 1162 01:05:09.239 --> 01:05:12.639 of crazy old cult films that maybe in the future 1163 01:05:12.880 --> 01:05:16.039 I'll get there again. But yeah, we'll see. I'm not 1164 01:05:16.079 --> 01:05:17.920 against them. 1165 01:05:18.920 --> 01:05:22.679 Let's see Jack Black and Lizzo included. They need people 1166 01:05:22.679 --> 01:05:26.760 to catch up on the Mandalorian for the movie true true, Yeah, 1167 01:05:26.920 --> 01:05:29.199 definitely not releasing in Australia because there's no more Disney 1168 01:05:29.199 --> 01:05:35.119 in Australia. Then just got a few more left. We're 1169 01:05:35.119 --> 01:05:38.800 already almost done with the announcements, which is wild. November nineteenth, 1170 01:05:38.880 --> 01:05:42.239 Magnolia is releasing Yoshiki Under the Sky. This is from 1171 01:05:42.280 --> 01:05:45.400 twenty twenty three and is a music documentary featuring the 1172 01:05:45.400 --> 01:05:49.280 world renowned rock star and composer leading a global concert 1173 01:05:49.320 --> 01:05:53.000 featuring today's top musical artists like The Chainsmokers, Saint Vincent 1174 01:05:53.519 --> 01:05:59.079 and more. Yeah, not many things released like this. This 1175 01:05:59.119 --> 01:06:00.599 is pretty cool that this is and release. 1176 01:06:01.199 --> 01:06:04.199 It was like a good concert on Blu ray, so 1177 01:06:04.239 --> 01:06:07.079 it's a good time. So that's all on that one. 1178 01:06:07.840 --> 01:06:11.440 Same next, Mill Creek doing their next Ultraman thing. I 1179 01:06:11.440 --> 01:06:15.960 believe these were web series and did not get released elsewhere. 1180 01:06:16.360 --> 01:06:18.920 December tenth, there is a Blu Ray coming of Ultra 1181 01:06:19.039 --> 01:06:23.760 Galaxy Fight Series one through three and Ultraman Regulos First Mission. 1182 01:06:24.400 --> 01:06:26.960 Supposedly these are really high quality and if you love Ultraman, 1183 01:06:27.719 --> 01:06:31.239 mill Creek has been killing it over the last At 1184 01:06:31.280 --> 01:06:33.159 this point we're talking like five years for what they've 1185 01:06:33.199 --> 01:06:35.760 done for Ultraman, So check it out. 1186 01:06:36.800 --> 01:06:39.280 You know, mal Creek. I mean, they're fine for being 1187 01:06:39.800 --> 01:06:41.559 some of the bargain bin kind of stuff, but I 1188 01:06:41.639 --> 01:06:43.559 enjoyed when I get a title from them on so 1189 01:06:43.639 --> 01:06:46.880 I you know, I'm very lacking in the ultraman department, 1190 01:06:47.079 --> 01:06:50.840 but yeah, I enjoy like their little retro vhs cover 1191 01:06:50.960 --> 01:06:53.119 stuff like that. So it's a good time to come 1192 01:06:53.159 --> 01:06:55.400 across some random old movie from them. 1193 01:06:55.679 --> 01:06:57.079 And they look great on Blu ray too. 1194 01:06:57.400 --> 01:07:00.559 Will say, yeah, they're good for their value for sure. 1195 01:07:02.320 --> 01:07:04.599 And then I think we got two more left. December eighth, 1196 01:07:04.639 --> 01:07:07.880 on four K Blu Rain DVD from Loma Vista Recordings. 1197 01:07:08.360 --> 01:07:11.400 Ghost right here, right now.

Not a 1202 01:07:23.679 --> 01:07:25.760 lot of bands doing releases like this, which is why 1203 01:07:25.760 --> 01:07:27.800 I wanted to make sure that we highlighted it. I 1204 01:07:27.840 --> 01:07:30.199 know a lot of friends who love Ghosts. Yeah, my 1205 01:07:30.280 --> 01:07:33.639 mom' saw Ghost live.

Like they could have like 1269 01:11:07.479 --> 01:11:10.359 promoted that it's so bad on the cover, like, hey, 1270 01:11:10.439 --> 01:11:12.840 you want to watch the worst blu ray ever made? 1271 01:11:13.399 --> 01:11:13.800 Watch this? 1272 01:11:13.920 --> 01:11:17.520 Then?

The Falling Star from Keno. 1280 01:11:41.199 --> 01:11:43.159 That's a lot of Keno in one week. All right, 1281 01:11:43.319 --> 01:11:44.000 all right, go ahead. 1282 01:11:45.680 --> 01:11:48.439 All that text chainsaws, I mean there's a prellion of them, 1283 01:11:48.680 --> 01:11:50.640 but I saw pictures online and so we had it, 1284 01:11:50.640 --> 01:11:54.079 and it's like a full sized physical chainsaw. It doesn't 1285 01:11:54.079 --> 01:11:56.279 it doesn't provoke me to get it because I got 1286 01:11:56.319 --> 01:11:57.159 the second site one. 1287 01:11:57.239 --> 01:11:59.800 But well, it also must not have sold well because 1288 01:11:59.800 --> 01:12:02.720 it was only listed on the Dark Sky website and 1289 01:12:02.760 --> 01:12:05.319 now it's on Amazon, and it was three hundred on 1290 01:12:05.359 --> 01:12:08.119 the Dark Sky site, it is four hundred on Amazon. 1291 01:12:09.039 --> 01:12:13.079 I think plenty of people will get it enthusia. The 1292 01:12:13.159 --> 01:12:18.520 same people buy an umbrella Terrorizer terrifire sets, they're gonna 1293 01:12:18.520 --> 01:12:22.640 buy Terrorizer terrifier sets. They're gonna buy text Jean saw 1294 01:12:23.039 --> 01:12:24.039 Master sets. 1295 01:12:24.199 --> 01:12:26.880 So, yeah, this is a this is a big week. 1296 01:12:27.039 --> 01:12:30.319 I'm really stoked to hear about how Zodiac looks on 1297 01:12:30.359 --> 01:12:33.239 four K. I'm worry about that. It's my favorite fincher. 1298 01:12:33.439 --> 01:12:36.600 I hope it looks good. Adam's Family Value is obviously 1299 01:12:36.680 --> 01:12:39.399 a great film too. Definitely want that on four K. Eventually. 1300 01:12:40.359 --> 01:12:43.399 My big shout out though is j Horrorrizing. If you 1301 01:12:43.399 --> 01:12:48.079 have never seen n Roy The Curse, definitely consider checking 1302 01:12:48.079 --> 01:12:50.600 out this box set. Look at that. The art looks 1303 01:12:50.600 --> 01:12:54.119 great in person. Man, Yes, I think if you've never 1304 01:12:54.119 --> 01:12:57.199 seen Narroy The Curse, you are going to love that film. 1305 01:12:57.239 --> 01:12:58.439 It is so creepy. 1306 01:12:59.760 --> 01:13:04.199 The just parallel back to Zodiac. I love Zodiac. I 1307 01:13:04.279 --> 01:13:07.680 wonder does that send the director's cretident or is it 1308 01:13:07.720 --> 01:13:11.960 just theatrical That's the only thing that Yeah, that's the 1309 01:13:12.000 --> 01:13:15.479 only thing I'm sort of like about because I love 1310 01:13:15.520 --> 01:13:16.159 that movie. 1311 01:13:16.600 --> 01:13:21.199 Right, it's I mean, literally my favorite finsure. It's it's yeah, 1312 01:13:21.199 --> 01:13:23.119 it's a lot. I don't know what's going on, but 1313 01:13:23.279 --> 01:13:26.079 uh yeah, it seems like we're not going to get 1314 01:13:26.079 --> 01:13:28.359 a lot of these cuts. And from what I hear, 1315 01:13:28.439 --> 01:13:31.359 I mean it's it's supposedly a legal thing where some 1316 01:13:31.439 --> 01:13:35.920 of the actors that appear in scenes that did not 1317 01:13:36.039 --> 01:13:38.319 sign off on this to be released. It's too much 1318 01:13:38.319 --> 01:13:41.079 of an illegal ongoing thing to go get permission from 1319 01:13:41.119 --> 01:13:44.079 everybody to have it released. So in fear of being 1320 01:13:44.159 --> 01:13:47.119 sued by somebody, they are not gonna put it out 1321 01:13:48.000 --> 01:13:51.520 that and there's there's potentially other music cues that were 1322 01:13:51.520 --> 01:13:53.600 in there that they don't have the rights to necessarily. 1323 01:13:53.920 --> 01:13:57.079 Yeah, it makes sense. I get it because I've seen 1324 01:13:57.159 --> 01:13:59.760 like stuff like you know, Stabborn tries to put out 1325 01:13:59.760 --> 01:14:03.039 of it and then like every little you know song 1326 01:14:03.159 --> 01:14:04.920 from a Severn title and they got but like Marty 1327 01:14:04.960 --> 01:14:08.439 graulm Asker, I remember that fiasco and then you know 1328 01:14:08.600 --> 01:14:11.800 it's so it totally makes sense. In retrospect, It's something 1329 01:14:11.840 --> 01:14:14.760 that just being an average movie watcher, I would have 1330 01:14:14.800 --> 01:14:17.359 flown over previously and just would have sat there disgruntled, 1331 01:14:17.359 --> 01:14:20.079 like why am I not getting this version right? But yeah, 1332 01:14:20.119 --> 01:14:23.800 in retrospect, sort of being slightly more connected at the 1333 01:14:23.880 --> 01:14:26.680 hip with stuff, Yeah, it totally makes sense. 1334 01:14:26.880 --> 01:14:29.000 We didn't talk about that that we were going to 1335 01:14:29.039 --> 01:14:33.439 discuss that, but just an inside baseball thing. Blake lives 1336 01:14:33.439 --> 01:14:36.560 close to the Severn warehouse, so sometimes like after the 1337 01:14:36.600 --> 01:14:39.479 big sales or a super big pre order of it, 1338 01:14:39.600 --> 01:14:42.079 and Blake goes and helps with the shipping and then 1339 01:14:42.119 --> 01:14:45.720 they pay him and releases. Oh yeah, what uh, what's 1340 01:14:45.720 --> 01:14:46.960 your experience been like with those? 1341 01:14:47.479 --> 01:14:49.840 Oh, it's a lot of fun. You know, we've got 1342 01:14:49.840 --> 01:14:53.880 it's hard work for sure, Like I won't I mean 1343 01:14:53.920 --> 01:14:55.640 we're not changed to the wall and they're not whipping 1344 01:14:55.680 --> 01:14:57.800 us or anything like that, but I mean you'll break 1345 01:14:57.800 --> 01:15:01.720 a sweat for sure. You know, it's a good atmosphere, 1346 01:15:02.239 --> 01:15:04.960 a lot of film fandom in the room as we're 1347 01:15:05.439 --> 01:15:09.640 packing movies, and you know, we definitely work our butt 1348 01:15:09.640 --> 01:15:11.680 off to try to get it out the door as 1349 01:15:11.720 --> 01:15:15.239 fast as we can. There's a lot of circumstances that 1350 01:15:15.319 --> 01:15:20.159 arise that people don't you know, understand in the in 1351 01:15:20.199 --> 01:15:22.920 the world of They just think that something could show 1352 01:15:23.000 --> 01:15:26.760 up instantaneously. But there's I will just say on that end, 1353 01:15:26.760 --> 01:15:29.359 there's a lot of earnest, hard work effort to make 1354 01:15:30.000 --> 01:15:32.920 title show up as quick as possible. There's there's logistics 1355 01:15:32.920 --> 01:15:36.359 stuff outside of the shipping room that often slows the 1356 01:15:36.359 --> 01:15:38.960 process down. So it's this is what it like the 1357 01:15:38.960 --> 01:15:41.319 postal service, for example. You know, I'm not gonna throw 1358 01:15:41.359 --> 01:15:44.079 them under the bus because there's a lot of postal 1359 01:15:44.079 --> 01:15:47.920 workers that are hard workers, but sometimes they're overloaded and 1360 01:15:48.000 --> 01:15:51.640 so that can delay stuff. So it's not necessarily like severing, 1361 01:15:51.960 --> 01:15:54.800 you know, delay and shipment. So yeah, it is what 1362 01:15:54.840 --> 01:15:57.520 it is. But it's a lot of fun. You know. 1363 01:15:58.760 --> 01:16:01.119 You get to meet a lot of good people that 1364 01:16:01.439 --> 01:16:04.000 know film and you know, and get to see all 1365 01:16:04.039 --> 01:16:08.159 the releases and yeah, great atmosphere. Love doing it. 1366 01:16:08.159 --> 01:16:10.039 It's uh, it's been nice during the sales to have 1367 01:16:10.119 --> 01:16:13.680 Spaghetti comeback and update the discord, being like, yeah, well 1368 01:16:13.720 --> 01:16:15.439 today we finally got in this one title. So if 1369 01:16:15.439 --> 01:16:17.640 you're waiting on that, it's it's gonna start shipping now. 1370 01:16:18.079 --> 01:16:20.239 Yeah. Yeah, I try to do my part just to 1371 01:16:20.319 --> 01:16:23.239 sort of you know, break down some of the rumor 1372 01:16:23.239 --> 01:16:27.159 mill a little bit, you know. But yeah, I mean 1373 01:16:27.239 --> 01:16:30.199 it's it's a good time for sure, working in that room. 1374 01:16:30.479 --> 01:16:33.239 So i'd say working in that room because that's where 1375 01:16:33.359 --> 01:16:34.399 we're small mighty crew. 1376 01:16:34.600 --> 01:16:39.079 So all right, so tonight we are talking about the 1377 01:16:39.079 --> 01:16:42.840 theatrical experience as a whole. To put you on the 1378 01:16:42.880 --> 01:16:46.640 spot in your memory, what is the best theatrical experience 1379 01:16:46.680 --> 01:16:47.239 you ever had? 1380 01:16:48.640 --> 01:16:53.880 Best theatrical experience. I mean, obviously I'm gonna have a 1381 01:16:53.920 --> 01:16:57.600 lot of like old times, I tend to ramble, so 1382 01:16:57.640 --> 01:17:00.840 it just heads up, sorry, ramble the spot, and then 1383 01:17:00.880 --> 01:17:04.880 I start garbling my life story. I think a lot 1384 01:17:04.920 --> 01:17:07.720 of your older stuff, like I remember seeing Roger Rabbit 1385 01:17:07.760 --> 01:17:11.640 and stuff larger than life films. I think that's due 1386 01:17:11.640 --> 01:17:13.479 to my age. But if we have to say, like 1387 01:17:13.680 --> 01:17:19.680 something that's outstanding where you're cheering at the screen, probably 1388 01:17:19.680 --> 01:17:23.600 something like Jurassic Park. You know, I'm that was ninety five. 1389 01:17:23.880 --> 01:17:26.159 I was ten when that came out, so it's the 1390 01:17:26.239 --> 01:17:29.479 right age where it's it's a film that's like an event. 1391 01:17:29.640 --> 01:17:36.119 It's huge, larger than life. I remember seeing I remember 1392 01:17:36.119 --> 01:17:39.920 going seeing Star Wars, not obviously not when it originally 1393 01:17:39.920 --> 01:17:42.159 came out, but they did, like they brought it back 1394 01:17:42.159 --> 01:17:44.800 out and yeah, this is when like they threw in 1395 01:17:44.920 --> 01:17:47.880 cgi Sabbath jab of the Hut and everybody, you know, 1396 01:17:48.079 --> 01:17:51.159 George Lucas was roasted under Coles for that. But you know, 1397 01:17:51.399 --> 01:17:55.800 I'm a little kid, so like that's huge experience. So yeah, 1398 01:17:55.840 --> 01:17:58.680 things like that. The big movies for sure has been 1399 01:17:58.720 --> 01:18:00.039 my best exp. 1400 01:18:02.079 --> 01:18:05.439 Have you done many things that made it a theatrical event, 1401 01:18:05.680 --> 01:18:09.239 like anything with filmmakers there or done any of the 1402 01:18:09.239 --> 01:18:12.079 forty X or D box or any of those fancy ones. 1403 01:18:13.520 --> 01:18:16.560 I've seen a couple three D movies. This is the 1404 01:18:16.600 --> 01:18:21.439 standard three D. You get the glasses. I will say this, 1405 01:18:21.439 --> 01:18:24.479 this is I wish I was able to go to 1406 01:18:24.560 --> 01:18:29.199 more screenings where I were like casting through was there 1407 01:18:29.439 --> 01:18:33.199 to give Q and as things like that. Living in 1408 01:18:33.239 --> 01:18:36.000 the Midwest and now living in Arizona, I haven't really 1409 01:18:36.039 --> 01:18:38.199 gotten a lot of that, right, Like I know that 1410 01:18:38.359 --> 01:18:41.079 you know, La gets it, and New York gets it, 1411 01:18:41.239 --> 01:18:43.600 and you know, probably Chicago and stuff like that. But 1412 01:18:45.920 --> 01:18:49.600 so throwing that to the side because I don't have that, 1413 01:18:49.800 --> 01:18:53.039 it's really a lot of like the elemental gimmicks that 1414 01:18:53.119 --> 01:18:56.359 has to hook me in. I will say one thing currently, 1415 01:18:57.640 --> 01:19:00.279 because you know I live in Phoenix, we don't have 1416 01:19:00.399 --> 01:19:04.000 what we got here. It's a it's the fifth largest 1417 01:19:04.000 --> 01:19:06.319 city of the United States, but it's still growing in culture, 1418 01:19:07.319 --> 01:19:09.159 so they're doing what they can and we have a 1419 01:19:09.159 --> 01:19:12.079 lot of chain stuff. So we have Harkins Theater, which 1420 01:19:12.079 --> 01:19:14.640 is like Janior. But the one gimmick that still hooks 1421 01:19:14.680 --> 01:19:17.039 me that I was going to bring up today is 1422 01:19:17.159 --> 01:19:22.560 They have the biggest theater in the western portion of Phoenix. 1423 01:19:22.640 --> 01:19:24.680 It might be the biggest theater in Phoenix, but it's 1424 01:19:24.680 --> 01:19:28.359 called Cinema One. And they still bring out these big, 1425 01:19:28.479 --> 01:19:32.840 flowy golden curtains like nineteen fifties or something like that, 1426 01:19:32.880 --> 01:19:35.960 and they really make it a spectacle to the pull 1427 01:19:36.000 --> 01:19:39.079 the curtains aside and do the rotating spotlights and stuff 1428 01:19:39.079 --> 01:19:42.239 like that. And it's just little simple things like that 1429 01:19:42.239 --> 01:19:44.479 that I think make all the difference in the world. 1430 01:19:45.039 --> 01:19:48.239 No matter what film I'm watching now, it does make 1431 01:19:48.279 --> 01:19:51.199 a difference later on with the film, but you know, 1432 01:19:51.680 --> 01:19:56.600 that first setup I think does wonders and that's one 1433 01:19:56.600 --> 01:19:59.720 of the first things that I mean, I wish I 1434 01:19:59.720 --> 01:20:02.399 could have the other elements, but that's what I do have. 1435 01:20:02.439 --> 01:20:03.880 At least I can champion that. 1436 01:20:05.399 --> 01:20:09.039 I will say, Blake used to live around where I 1437 01:20:09.119 --> 01:20:10.840 live now, so we've got a lot of the same 1438 01:20:10.960 --> 01:20:13.720 like reference points. And one of the things that's really 1439 01:20:13.720 --> 01:20:16.800 cool is Kansas City. They have a lot of theaters. 1440 01:20:17.079 --> 01:20:18.760 A lot of people don't know this. They are the 1441 01:20:18.800 --> 01:20:22.960 headquarters of AMC here over in Leewood, Kansas. It's in 1442 01:20:22.960 --> 01:20:25.439 the Kansas City metro, so there's there's a lot of 1443 01:20:25.439 --> 01:20:28.520 AMC to choose from. There's like five or six maybe 1444 01:20:28.520 --> 01:20:31.399 even more than that. AMC's in the area. But beyond that, 1445 01:20:31.479 --> 01:20:34.119 we have a little independent theater called Screenland Armor, which 1446 01:20:34.119 --> 01:20:37.199 you have probably heard as a movie fan just scrolling 1447 01:20:37.199 --> 01:20:39.800 through these things. Every year they have a film festival 1448 01:20:39.800 --> 01:20:44.039 there called Panicfest. There's a lot of places with that 1449 01:20:44.159 --> 01:20:47.359 has like partnered with Screenland to show some things. Kevin 1450 01:20:47.399 --> 01:20:51.359 Smith has popped in for a screening of his newest 1451 01:20:51.760 --> 01:20:56.359 Jane Jane Silent Bob film. I will say what Blake 1452 01:20:56.479 --> 01:21:00.000 just mentioned is also a very similar thing for Screenland 1453 01:21:00.239 --> 01:21:03.359 is they've got the curtains, they've got the they've got 1454 01:21:03.359 --> 01:21:07.079 a little like automated robot that does the little hocket 1455 01:21:07.159 --> 01:21:11.479 turning thing that opens the curtains. And seeing this is 1456 01:21:11.520 --> 01:21:14.039 gonna be a weird like touch point. But seeing the 1457 01:21:14.199 --> 01:21:17.600 fourth Hatchet film, which is called Victor Crowley with Adam 1458 01:21:17.680 --> 01:21:21.439 Green there in Screenland Armor was a really fun night. 1459 01:21:21.560 --> 01:21:24.000 I mean to have to have the filmmaker sitting there 1460 01:21:24.079 --> 01:21:26.840 laughing along with his film, with the big audience. Everybody 1461 01:21:26.840 --> 01:21:29.840 had sold it out, and it's a funny movie, like 1462 01:21:29.880 --> 01:21:32.640 it's a comedy horror movie and people are into it, 1463 01:21:32.680 --> 01:21:34.079 and then to have him do the Q and A 1464 01:21:34.079 --> 01:21:36.960 after it was it was something that doesn't happen that 1465 01:21:37.000 --> 01:21:38.960 often in Casey, so it was pretty special. Love to 1466 01:21:39.000 --> 01:21:41.800 hear that craig'say. Shout out to the Straight Cat, another 1467 01:21:42.119 --> 01:21:46.039 small Kansas City theater. That's great. There is so many 1468 01:21:46.079 --> 01:21:48.039 different ways that you can look at this. Another thing 1469 01:21:48.079 --> 01:21:50.720 that I could say is I got really lucky where 1470 01:21:50.720 --> 01:21:54.000 I grew up in California. We lived about forty five 1471 01:21:54.039 --> 01:21:57.600 minutes drive away from a place that had like one 1472 01:21:57.640 --> 01:22:00.079 of the only D box theaters at the time, and 1473 01:22:00.319 --> 01:22:02.479 I got to see way back in what was it 1474 01:22:02.520 --> 01:22:04.800 twenty twelve that it came out. I got to see 1475 01:22:04.800 --> 01:22:07.720 Cabin in the Woods in a D box eater and 1476 01:22:08.279 --> 01:22:10.840 I had never done anything like that before, so having it. 1477 01:22:11.880 --> 01:22:15.399 You know, the the opening shots where after they get 1478 01:22:15.399 --> 01:22:18.119 out of the little factory they're in and they're introducing 1479 01:22:18.159 --> 01:22:20.920 like the core four or five that you meet the teenagers, 1480 01:22:21.439 --> 01:22:23.720 there's this one shot that's a crane shot. They go 1481 01:22:23.760 --> 01:22:26.600 from the ground up to this apartment building and the 1482 01:22:26.720 --> 01:22:29.520 chair felt like it was rising that entire time, and 1483 01:22:29.560 --> 01:22:32.720 the chair is not moving really, It's like slight swivels 1484 01:22:33.119 --> 01:22:35.039 and it's crazy that they can pull that off. I 1485 01:22:35.119 --> 01:22:38.520 was really happy with it. It's not forty X where 1486 01:22:38.520 --> 01:22:40.720 they're spraying water in your face and the wind and 1487 01:22:40.720 --> 01:22:44.079 all that stuff. But we'll get into some more of those. Yeah, 1488 01:22:44.479 --> 01:22:47.520 let's talk about William Castle about how do you feel 1489 01:22:47.520 --> 01:22:48.960 about him as a filmmaker. Oh. 1490 01:22:49.079 --> 01:22:54.199 I love William Castle. I love you know, the entirety 1491 01:22:54.239 --> 01:22:59.079 of not only is he he's sort of an unsung director. 1492 01:22:59.640 --> 01:23:01.239 I mean, people love his work, but he's sort of 1493 01:23:01.319 --> 01:23:04.039 unsung in the merit of his actual films are good, 1494 01:23:05.319 --> 01:23:07.720 but because he's known as the master of the gimmick. 1495 01:23:08.600 --> 01:23:11.640 But I love his uh gimmicks as well. In the 1496 01:23:11.680 --> 01:23:17.520 combination of both of them clashing together is wonderment. He's 1497 01:23:17.600 --> 01:23:20.520 definitely a director that I sort of flew over when 1498 01:23:20.520 --> 01:23:25.399 I was younger, and he's one that I because I mean, 1499 01:23:25.520 --> 01:23:28.960 obviously you're watching like Alverred Hitchcock movies stuff like that, 1500 01:23:29.119 --> 01:23:34.800 and they're they're similar to a degree, but definitely William 1501 01:23:34.800 --> 01:23:38.479 Castle's one that I came into knowing more of his 1502 01:23:38.560 --> 01:23:41.199 persona later on, being more of a movie fan than 1503 01:23:41.279 --> 01:23:45.119 just casual film watcher at a younger age and just 1504 01:23:45.520 --> 01:23:48.239 his He's sort of like the P. T. Barnum there was, 1505 01:23:48.359 --> 01:23:51.840 you know, Robert Ripley mentality, just sort of the the 1506 01:23:51.880 --> 01:23:56.359 wonderments of how can he add an extra spark to 1507 01:23:56.399 --> 01:24:01.079 the movie experience, And yeah, I have a blast every 1508 01:24:01.079 --> 01:24:02.640 time one of his movies pops up. 1509 01:24:03.960 --> 01:24:07.359 This is, uh, you know, one of those filmmakers that, 1510 01:24:09.840 --> 01:24:12.439 like his legacy literally precedes him. He's one of those 1511 01:24:12.479 --> 01:24:16.640 that you hear about how he did things and worked 1512 01:24:16.760 --> 01:24:21.640 to literally sell his films. Yeah, oh yeah, I mean 1513 01:24:22.439 --> 01:24:25.520 you could say huckster, but more of like just freaking 1514 01:24:25.600 --> 01:24:28.359 passionate and fighting to do everything you possibly can to 1515 01:24:28.359 --> 01:24:30.399 get eyes in front of them. And when you hear 1516 01:24:30.399 --> 01:24:32.880 about things like the Tingler and all of the gimmicks 1517 01:24:32.880 --> 01:24:35.439 that come with all of these, it is such a 1518 01:24:35.840 --> 01:24:39.399 unique way to experience these and I would have loved 1519 01:24:39.399 --> 01:24:41.079 to have been a part of someone e these screens. 1520 01:24:40.800 --> 01:24:44.439 Oh yeah, oh yeah. Just the atmosphere of it, I mean, 1521 01:24:44.479 --> 01:24:49.399 and it's just simple novelties and it just like I said, 1522 01:24:49.479 --> 01:24:52.960 you know, going talking about like just farkens in the 1523 01:24:53.000 --> 01:24:58.399 experience of just the golden you know, robes just separating 1524 01:24:58.439 --> 01:25:00.960 like that. It's just the little element that make a difference, 1525 01:25:00.960 --> 01:25:03.840 And so I just know that, you know, whyn Castle 1526 01:25:04.479 --> 01:25:08.439 could just put something that's simple on the screen and 1527 01:25:08.439 --> 01:25:10.279 now I'm gonna build them up. That he actually put 1528 01:25:10.359 --> 01:25:12.800 out some really well movies without the gimmick, But he 1529 01:25:12.800 --> 01:25:15.000 could just put something on the screen and then just 1530 01:25:15.039 --> 01:25:18.000 the atmosphere that has created from the little novelty tricks 1531 01:25:18.039 --> 01:25:21.359 that he does just just blows it through the roof. 1532 01:25:21.800 --> 01:25:26.199 So yeah, he He's done so many different types of 1533 01:25:26.199 --> 01:25:28.800 gimmicks that he was literally famous for them. And again 1534 01:25:29.119 --> 01:25:31.359 not every film of his had them, so he was 1535 01:25:31.359 --> 01:25:34.640 definitely a filmmaker outside of that as well. But it 1536 01:25:34.680 --> 01:25:37.319 all comes down to, sorry if you heard that, we 1537 01:25:37.439 --> 01:25:42.319 just had a thunderstorm start outside. Oh really loud. What 1538 01:25:42.359 --> 01:25:44.680 this comes down to is the experience selling people on 1539 01:25:44.760 --> 01:25:48.880 a reason to come to these and not I hate 1540 01:25:48.880 --> 01:25:51.159 to use the word just, but like come to these 1541 01:25:51.199 --> 01:25:54.920 without just experiencing a film to make it something. And 1542 01:25:54.920 --> 01:25:57.800 you've got a unique background in that. What did you 1543 01:25:57.880 --> 01:26:00.800 do with experiences in your prior jobs? 1544 01:26:01.199 --> 01:26:04.920 Yeah, So I mean, first of all, I was just 1545 01:26:05.000 --> 01:26:07.920 a standard theater grunt working in a movie there that 1546 01:26:08.000 --> 01:26:11.159 wasn't really necessarily experienced. But I worked in a movie theater. 1547 01:26:11.600 --> 01:26:15.399 I knew there was actually the AMC Independence Commons twenty 1548 01:26:15.800 --> 01:26:18.479 which is probably in your neck of the woods a 1549 01:26:18.520 --> 01:26:20.720 little bit, so hopefully if that place is ste. 1550 01:26:20.479 --> 01:26:22.560 Been there many times. That's where I watched Oppenheimer, and 1551 01:26:22.600 --> 01:26:25.000 I try never go to that theater because it's awful. 1552 01:26:25.359 --> 01:26:29.000 Oh geez, well, my day it was. It was decent, 1553 01:26:29.319 --> 01:26:31.000 but yeah, I can't speak for it now. 1554 01:26:32.199 --> 01:26:32.560 But no. 1555 01:26:33.640 --> 01:26:39.880 After after working there, I definitely was given the opportunity 1556 01:26:39.920 --> 01:26:43.319 to work with a lot of experience like retailers, but 1557 01:26:43.359 --> 01:26:48.800 I worked for Mattel and Disney both and they definitely 1558 01:26:48.800 --> 01:26:53.439 have a mentality where it's not directly the you're not 1559 01:26:53.479 --> 01:26:56.319 at a store or you're not you know, just there 1560 01:26:56.359 --> 01:26:58.560 doing a Monday thing. You're there and it's an event, 1561 01:26:59.279 --> 01:27:01.800 and so that it's definitely something that I've tried to 1562 01:27:01.880 --> 01:27:05.239 carry with me in mentality, and that's why I think 1563 01:27:05.359 --> 01:27:08.880 like Castle films and just movie going experience has no 1564 01:27:10.119 --> 01:27:14.600 carried with me as well. First of all, I worked 1565 01:27:14.600 --> 01:27:18.319 with Mattel directly under the window of they had American 1566 01:27:18.359 --> 01:27:21.479 girl dolls, which it was sort of a joke. I 1567 01:27:21.520 --> 01:27:23.039 was sort of the dude in the devile store, but 1568 01:27:23.079 --> 01:27:25.680 I was in logistics mainly, so I mean, I'm not 1569 01:27:25.720 --> 01:27:28.600 out there coman dollar, but that was something they did, 1570 01:27:28.720 --> 01:27:32.399 which you know, that's an event because some little girl 1571 01:27:32.479 --> 01:27:34.560 would go into the store and it's not like, you know, 1572 01:27:35.119 --> 01:27:36.960 you know, kudos to toys. R us were being cool 1573 01:27:37.000 --> 01:27:39.680 because we love it for a nostalgis sense. But going 1574 01:27:39.680 --> 01:27:42.199 to toys arrests and you know, here's the package, you 1575 01:27:42.239 --> 01:27:44.399 go grab it, you go bring out here, you're in 1576 01:27:44.439 --> 01:27:47.279 there and you're getting the full catered experience. It was 1577 01:27:47.279 --> 01:27:50.479 almost like a theme park and in the middle of 1578 01:27:50.640 --> 01:27:53.800 the you know, in Missouri, and this was actually in Kansas, 1579 01:27:54.319 --> 01:27:56.359 but in the middle of the country where you know, 1580 01:27:56.479 --> 01:28:00.239 you're separated from you know, all these major theme parks 1581 01:28:00.279 --> 01:28:04.720 and stuff like that. We did our darness to make 1582 01:28:04.840 --> 01:28:12.760 that the experience. So like with American Girl, I mainly 1583 01:28:12.800 --> 01:28:15.600 did a lot of like training in the sense that 1584 01:28:17.079 --> 01:28:20.560 there's a lot of historical characters and people wouldn't know 1585 01:28:20.840 --> 01:28:25.520 to sell they would just sell standard dolls. And I 1586 01:28:25.560 --> 01:28:29.079 actually went and researched the history of all these characters 1587 01:28:29.079 --> 01:28:31.159 because they have a series of books, and I was 1588 01:28:31.199 --> 01:28:35.680 applying like historical factors and then all of a sudden, 1589 01:28:35.720 --> 01:28:38.720 I had like all these sales staff going out there 1590 01:28:38.760 --> 01:28:41.079 and like teaching the children like this is the World 1591 01:28:41.119 --> 01:28:43.520 War two doll and she's got a friend from the 1592 01:28:43.560 --> 01:28:46.119 Blitzkrieg and all this stuff, and then all of a sudden, 1593 01:28:46.600 --> 01:28:50.720 it builds this entire world for the kid. And it 1594 01:28:50.840 --> 01:28:53.520 made that much of a difference because the sales went 1595 01:28:53.600 --> 01:28:58.359 through the roof, and then from there, you know, I 1596 01:28:58.399 --> 01:29:00.680 was able to make like training material for the rest 1597 01:29:00.680 --> 01:29:05.159 of the company. And you know, I wish that the 1598 01:29:05.199 --> 01:29:09.760 American Girl franchise went a different route. I guess they're 1599 01:29:09.760 --> 01:29:12.159 doing okay now, but a lot of those stores primarily closed. 1600 01:29:12.159 --> 01:29:15.720 That's outside of my bubble. But from there I went 1601 01:29:15.760 --> 01:29:19.479 and I worked at Disney, and Disney I did a 1602 01:29:19.479 --> 01:29:22.159 lot of the same kind of things where I built 1603 01:29:22.199 --> 01:29:26.880 an experience store from the ground up. And like I said, 1604 01:29:26.960 --> 01:29:29.039 you know, you have your theme park in LA and 1605 01:29:29.079 --> 01:29:32.319 you have your theme park in you know, Orlando, and 1606 01:29:32.399 --> 01:29:34.720 you're in the middle of you know, the Kansas City 1607 01:29:34.720 --> 01:29:38.800 metro area. They're two days drive in both directions. You 1608 01:29:38.920 --> 01:29:41.520 better make sure that kid who walks into the door 1609 01:29:41.680 --> 01:29:46.119 is going to Disneyland that day. And so it's just 1610 01:29:46.199 --> 01:29:49.000 a wonderment of turning that into an event. I mean 1611 01:29:49.039 --> 01:29:52.319 we we did rope drops when the store opened, and 1612 01:29:52.439 --> 01:29:55.159 I mean you're in Oak Park Mall at eight o'clock 1613 01:29:55.199 --> 01:29:59.199 on a Tuesday with just mall walkers walking around, and 1614 01:29:59.720 --> 01:30:02.319 you know, and and we're like, the lights are off 1615 01:30:02.359 --> 01:30:05.199 and here's like one kid, or or it's not even 1616 01:30:05.239 --> 01:30:07.319 a kid. It might just be a mallwalker, you know, 1617 01:30:08.000 --> 01:30:11.560 And you know we would I press a button and 1618 01:30:11.600 --> 01:30:15.600 tinkerbells flying around the store at Tuesday morning at eight o'clock, 1619 01:30:15.800 --> 01:30:18.439 you know. But you know, it's it's the little things 1620 01:30:18.479 --> 01:30:21.319 like that. I could press buttons and make muppets up 1621 01:30:21.359 --> 01:30:26.439 out of trees and it was a blast. But what 1622 01:30:26.439 --> 01:30:30.760 what it goes to show is the mentality of you 1623 01:30:30.800 --> 01:30:35.399 don't work directly in a store. You you work in 1624 01:30:35.439 --> 01:30:41.600 an experience. And I think that ties in with Castle, 1625 01:30:42.039 --> 01:30:46.560 uh for sure. And it also ties in with probably 1626 01:30:46.600 --> 01:30:51.560 a mentality that a saturated the theater industry right now 1627 01:30:52.520 --> 01:30:55.600 might need to look into to some degree, and that 1628 01:30:55.720 --> 01:30:59.359 they are, they're they're looking into their avenues. But you know, 1629 01:30:59.560 --> 01:31:02.199 it's it's it's all about bringing the experience back. And 1630 01:31:03.399 --> 01:31:05.279 I guess the other thing I didn't really allude to 1631 01:31:05.479 --> 01:31:07.920 is I built I was part of the team that 1632 01:31:07.960 --> 01:31:10.439 built these stores from the ground up. Not only did 1633 01:31:10.439 --> 01:31:13.560 I run some logistics for them, but I was able 1634 01:31:13.560 --> 01:31:16.239 to see them being built. So it's sort of connected 1635 01:31:16.319 --> 01:31:18.800 me with you know, I watched mattin AE as we 1636 01:31:18.840 --> 01:31:20.600 talked about today, and it was really cool to see 1637 01:31:20.600 --> 01:31:26.000 the scene with like, you know, John Goodman's character Woolsey, 1638 01:31:27.399 --> 01:31:29.840 you know, putting the buzzers under the Seatson like that. 1639 01:31:29.880 --> 01:31:32.119 So I got to see like sort of behind the 1640 01:31:32.159 --> 01:31:35.199 scenes of how all that comes into effect. But yeah, 1641 01:31:35.239 --> 01:31:38.159 it's it's ultimately it boils down to, in my ramble here, 1642 01:31:39.000 --> 01:31:42.880 recreation of the experience and how the experience turns something 1643 01:31:43.840 --> 01:31:46.880 that is normal into something even so much more, and 1644 01:31:46.880 --> 01:31:47.880 that's how to settle sum. 1645 01:31:49.039 --> 01:31:53.000 There was a some sort of news article that came 1646 01:31:53.039 --> 01:31:57.319 out recently that has revealed that some it's like the 1647 01:31:57.359 --> 01:32:00.640 top eight movie theater chains or something like that in 1648 01:32:00.680 --> 01:32:03.800 the US and Canada are investing a shit ton of 1649 01:32:03.800 --> 01:32:07.039 money into adding not only like better seating and better 1650 01:32:07.079 --> 01:32:09.479 audio and visual and all that stuff, but they're investing 1651 01:32:09.600 --> 01:32:12.760 in pickleball courts. And it's this sort of thing that 1652 01:32:12.920 --> 01:32:18.479 is super interesting but also weird, like people are not 1653 01:32:18.479 --> 01:32:22.840 not going to the theater because you don't have pickleball courts. However, 1654 01:32:23.039 --> 01:32:25.840 I could see I could see the appeal of like 1655 01:32:25.920 --> 01:32:28.600 going somewhere and literally making a night out of it, 1656 01:32:28.720 --> 01:32:32.279 being able to get your entire food, the alcohol, spend 1657 01:32:32.279 --> 01:32:34.439 some outside activity, and then and the night with the 1658 01:32:35.159 --> 01:32:37.439 you know, date night of the movie theater type of thing. 1659 01:32:37.880 --> 01:32:40.479 But I I you know, when you're talking about the 1660 01:32:40.520 --> 01:32:44.079 Disney store, I still remember as a child in nineteen 1661 01:32:44.199 --> 01:32:47.920 ninety four going to the Disney store in southern California, 1662 01:32:48.520 --> 01:32:52.239 and there's things to crawl through, There's stuff that like 1663 01:32:52.279 --> 01:32:54.279 you would literally slide down off of one of the 1664 01:32:54.319 --> 01:32:55.880 rocks and suddenly you're in a different part of the 1665 01:32:55.920 --> 01:33:00.520 store looking at more products. And that experience lives with me. 1666 01:33:00.600 --> 01:33:03.199 I still have that pure memory. I can smell it. 1667 01:33:03.319 --> 01:33:07.319 That's that's how weird Disney stores are. Movie theaters need 1668 01:33:07.560 --> 01:33:10.000 something like that. If we are in a part where 1669 01:33:10.039 --> 01:33:16.720 everybody is failing. Yeah, everybody's questioning that. Let me let 1670 01:33:16.800 --> 01:33:19.520 me pull up the link. The pickleball thing is very real. 1671 01:33:20.920 --> 01:33:27.680 Oh god, this link is forever long. It two point 1672 01:33:27.720 --> 01:33:32.319 two billion dollars to upgrade cinemas improof tech and add 1673 01:33:32.359 --> 01:33:35.079 pickleball courts. I think I can post a link in 1674 01:33:35.119 --> 01:33:37.680 the chat, open this in another tab and take a 1675 01:33:37.720 --> 01:33:41.560 look at it. Yeah, they are literally adding pickleball. It 1676 01:33:41.640 --> 01:33:46.119 is such an odd situation, Like, if you are somebody 1677 01:33:46.119 --> 01:33:49.199 that runs a theater in twenty twenty four, the biggest 1678 01:33:49.319 --> 01:33:51.880 enemy right now, and I know, I hope you agree 1679 01:33:51.920 --> 01:33:54.600 because you used to work for them, is Disney. They 1680 01:33:54.640 --> 01:33:58.039 require certain things to be in the theater for a 1681 01:33:58.039 --> 01:33:59.760 certain amount of time, to play a certain number of 1682 01:33:59.760 --> 01:34:02.680 times throughout the day, and it's squashing what some of 1683 01:34:02.720 --> 01:34:05.680 these smaller theaters could do for events. I mean, so 1684 01:34:05.720 --> 01:34:09.520 many of these theaters across the country don't ever have 1685 01:34:09.600 --> 01:34:12.119 the opportunity to have REP screenings. And many of the 1686 01:34:12.159 --> 01:34:15.079 smaller towns across the US has literally never had a 1687 01:34:15.079 --> 01:34:18.159 REP screening because they're required to. If you're going to 1688 01:34:18.199 --> 01:34:20.000 play newer films, you have to play them for a 1689 01:34:20.000 --> 01:34:22.279 certain period of time. I mean, how do we get 1690 01:34:22.279 --> 01:34:22.600 past this? 1691 01:34:23.720 --> 01:34:28.079 Yeah, Disney is a very interesting that they're I always 1692 01:34:28.119 --> 01:34:32.279 say that they're obviously an experienced company first, film company second, 1693 01:34:32.520 --> 01:34:34.680 and sometimes that's a good thing and sometimes that's a 1694 01:34:34.720 --> 01:34:36.640 bad thing. It's a good thing in the sense that 1695 01:34:36.720 --> 01:34:39.159 you're walking in the Disney store and they're making Disneyland 1696 01:34:39.439 --> 01:34:42.439 for in the moment. It's a bad thing in the 1697 01:34:42.520 --> 01:34:47.800 sense of evolving with the industry and also being a 1698 01:34:47.800 --> 01:34:52.439 fair partner in the industry. And that's one of my 1699 01:34:52.520 --> 01:34:56.800 biggest gripes with them is they're very much in the moment. 1700 01:34:57.399 --> 01:35:02.479 They sort of have blind on to do their gain 1701 01:35:02.560 --> 01:35:06.680 in the moment and then then whatever if they don't, 1702 01:35:07.479 --> 01:35:09.800 if it's something that's not really helping them out in 1703 01:35:09.840 --> 01:35:11.880 the moment, just throw it away versus I mean, they 1704 01:35:12.319 --> 01:35:14.439 do have a sense of history in the sense of like, 1705 01:35:14.520 --> 01:35:17.079 you know, stuff Walt Disney did and like the rides 1706 01:35:17.159 --> 01:35:21.640 and things like that, but like, oh, take for example, 1707 01:35:22.000 --> 01:35:23.800 they used to have a Blu ray line. I know 1708 01:35:23.840 --> 01:35:25.479 this is getting away from the theater, but they used to 1709 01:35:25.479 --> 01:35:28.840 have the Disney Classics Blu ray line of like all 1710 01:35:28.880 --> 01:35:30.960 the stuff like you know, twenty thousand Leagues in the 1711 01:35:31.000 --> 01:35:35.920 Sea and you know, you know, Apple Dumpling Gang, stuff 1712 01:35:35.920 --> 01:35:38.079 like that, and that was only you could get that 1713 01:35:38.119 --> 01:35:40.039 if you remember their club. But now it's like the 1714 01:35:40.079 --> 01:35:43.000 club's gone, Like are you gonna get those titles? Who knows? 1715 01:35:43.199 --> 01:35:46.560 You'd probably eBay them, but it's just what Disney is 1716 01:35:46.600 --> 01:35:49.119 in a sense that they're just like, no, this is 1717 01:35:49.119 --> 01:35:51.239 how we play ball. You're gonna work with us here. 1718 01:35:51.880 --> 01:35:56.039 And they're very sided in the moment of what can 1719 01:35:56.079 --> 01:36:00.399 they gain with the properties until it's expended. So, yeah, 1720 01:36:00.520 --> 01:36:03.399 Disney is Disney. That's in a nutshell. 1721 01:36:04.960 --> 01:36:07.319 Craig says in the chat, the studios killed theaters with 1722 01:36:07.359 --> 01:36:11.079 their streaming quote strategy. Friends of mine say that they 1723 01:36:11.159 --> 01:36:14.520 went regularly and now they go rarely. They always say 1724 01:36:14.520 --> 01:36:16.359 I can just watch it at home, and that's true 1725 01:36:16.600 --> 01:36:19.760 for a lot of titles. Yeah. I also think it's 1726 01:36:19.760 --> 01:36:22.159 funny that they tried after COVID to go back to 1727 01:36:22.960 --> 01:36:25.359 in a lot of these ads or trailers. Now we're 1728 01:36:25.399 --> 01:36:29.640 seeing exclusively in theaters. But in all reality, if the 1729 01:36:29.640 --> 01:36:33.119 film fails, like the Joker sequel, it's gonna be streaming 1730 01:36:33.159 --> 01:36:35.800 like two weeks later. Yeah, you can't afford to not 1731 01:36:35.880 --> 01:36:36.560 have it playing. 1732 01:36:38.000 --> 01:36:41.319 Yeah, And there's like there's limited risk if you don't 1733 01:36:41.359 --> 01:36:43.800 miss it. You know, you hear word of mouth and 1734 01:36:43.880 --> 01:36:45.800 people are like, oh, this movie stinks, and you're like, 1735 01:36:45.840 --> 01:36:47.760 all right, well just get it on streaming. So there's 1736 01:36:47.960 --> 01:36:51.960 there's no risk for the consumer, and you know, once again, 1737 01:36:52.119 --> 01:36:55.239 it's all about in that moment to moment basis, you know, 1738 01:36:55.399 --> 01:36:58.840 it's like whatever. But then in the grand scheme of things, 1739 01:36:59.560 --> 01:37:03.560 all these are bubbling up, and you know, you had 1740 01:37:03.600 --> 01:37:06.119 the situation of COVID, which you know, COVID is what 1741 01:37:06.199 --> 01:37:08.479 COVID is. You know, it's something we couldn't avoid. But 1742 01:37:10.000 --> 01:37:13.439 when you're sitting at home and then you're in your 1743 01:37:13.479 --> 01:37:16.439 sweatpants and just lounging on the couch and doing your 1744 01:37:16.439 --> 01:37:22.479 own thing, that became the experience. And now we have 1745 01:37:22.560 --> 01:37:25.680 to break people out of the bubbles of the theaters, 1746 01:37:25.680 --> 01:37:27.800 have to break people out of that bubble of what 1747 01:37:27.840 --> 01:37:31.000 are they going to do to compete? Because before it 1748 01:37:31.079 --> 01:37:32.800 was just the old standard of this is the only 1749 01:37:32.800 --> 01:37:34.399 way you can watch it. And they're trying to do 1750 01:37:34.439 --> 01:37:36.760 a little bit of that. You know, you advertise the 1751 01:37:36.760 --> 01:37:38.960 big movies and say it's only gonna be in theaters now. 1752 01:37:39.079 --> 01:37:45.520 But the system is now damaged to the point where 1753 01:37:45.520 --> 01:37:48.920 people are preconditioned. It's like whatever. And then now you 1754 01:37:49.000 --> 01:37:52.600 have these huge, massive hits that even if they were 1755 01:37:53.479 --> 01:37:55.760 a film that wasn't the greatest, even if it was 1756 01:37:55.800 --> 01:37:58.880 a flop, it would still make way more like Joker too, right, 1757 01:37:59.239 --> 01:38:01.399 I haven't seen Joke or two. I'm I don't know 1758 01:38:01.439 --> 01:38:04.359 if it's good or bad. You know, I'll eventually see it. 1759 01:38:05.000 --> 01:38:08.239 But we live in a day and age where you know, 1760 01:38:08.439 --> 01:38:11.880 Joker two would sell tons regardless of how well it 1761 01:38:11.960 --> 01:38:14.640 was made. But now it's just that word of mouth 1762 01:38:14.800 --> 01:38:18.119 just you know, sparked a flame and it just died 1763 01:38:18.159 --> 01:38:20.760 on arriving, right, So how are we going to break that? 1764 01:38:20.880 --> 01:38:25.239 And the theaters have to figure out something to spark that flame. 1765 01:38:26.199 --> 01:38:28.000 Obviously we're not going to change anything. I'd love to 1766 01:38:28.000 --> 01:38:31.680 hear if anybody yet has any ideas for these. Simnar 1767 01:38:31.760 --> 01:38:34.399 wants to point out if you're if you're living near 1768 01:38:34.439 --> 01:38:37.319 an AMC, just get a list. One Dolby show will 1769 01:38:37.319 --> 01:38:39.640 already save you like four dollars. And it's true. I 1770 01:38:39.720 --> 01:38:42.039 mean in some of the smaller towns it's not quite 1771 01:38:42.159 --> 01:38:45.399 that expensive, but I know in my state, the A 1772 01:38:45.560 --> 01:38:48.760 list is literally less than twenty dollars. It's nineteen ninety five, 1773 01:38:49.199 --> 01:38:53.039 and to go to like a A anything after a 1774 01:38:53.079 --> 01:38:57.600 five PM most of the film started like twenty one dollars. 1775 01:38:57.640 --> 01:39:01.319 So getting a list, I'm all ready literally saving money 1776 01:39:01.319 --> 01:39:03.720 if I only go once. But now I can go 1777 01:39:03.800 --> 01:39:07.239 three times a week for the entire month. That's crazy. 1778 01:39:07.720 --> 01:39:12.199 Yeah, And so I think they're definitely doing better about like, yeah, 1779 01:39:12.199 --> 01:39:16.319 the prices individually are egregious, but that's inflation in general. 1780 01:39:16.640 --> 01:39:20.000 But they're doing They're doing good with the package deals, yep. 1781 01:39:20.079 --> 01:39:23.279 But they still have to find that middle ground of 1782 01:39:23.319 --> 01:39:26.279 how can the package deal still compeat and streaming, you know, 1783 01:39:26.600 --> 01:39:30.119 or something like that. And ultimately, you know, like I said, 1784 01:39:30.199 --> 01:39:33.800 streaming is convenient in the moment, but we've gotten to 1785 01:39:33.840 --> 01:39:36.840 a point where we're, you know, half a decade or 1786 01:39:36.840 --> 01:39:39.199 more in and we've started to see the effects of 1787 01:39:39.279 --> 01:39:43.079 it in that sense. And I'm not all against streaming. 1788 01:39:43.119 --> 01:39:45.880 I've just seen that the natural causation of it is 1789 01:39:46.920 --> 01:39:52.760 definitely evolving some things. And I also think outside of streaming, 1790 01:39:52.840 --> 01:39:55.199 I think a saturation of so I mean, I could 1791 01:39:55.199 --> 01:39:59.319 go to whole Disney dangent, you know, and we could 1792 01:39:59.680 --> 01:40:02.439 get it to that later. But I think saturation of 1793 01:40:02.479 --> 01:40:06.640 properties is another thing that has waned people down as well. 1794 01:40:07.680 --> 01:40:10.359 That you know, I worked for Disney when they bought 1795 01:40:10.399 --> 01:40:13.479 Star Wars and Marvel, and it was very exciting in 1796 01:40:13.520 --> 01:40:19.319 the beginning, but then in typical Disney fashion. What they 1797 01:40:19.359 --> 01:40:22.960 do is they find every single little character, even the 1798 01:40:22.960 --> 01:40:25.880 ones that are in one scene that you and as 1799 01:40:25.920 --> 01:40:28.640 an employee with the Disney company, you know all their 1800 01:40:28.720 --> 01:40:32.319 character dames, like like all the random cars in the 1801 01:40:32.319 --> 01:40:34.560 Cars movie that are in one scene in the background. 1802 01:40:34.640 --> 01:40:37.399 You know that's Fred, you know, and it's like, okay, 1803 01:40:37.439 --> 01:40:41.119 and you better sell twenty Fred Plushy's to a kid, 1804 01:40:41.239 --> 01:40:44.560 right And so I knew as soon as like, that's 1805 01:40:44.560 --> 01:40:49.520 what superheroes are going through right now. You know, Disney 1806 01:40:49.520 --> 01:40:52.720 bought Marvel and they're making a movie out of every 1807 01:40:52.840 --> 01:40:56.800 single little character that you know. I'm glad maybe the 1808 01:40:56.880 --> 01:40:59.760 fandom of that one character is getting their movie, but 1809 01:40:59.840 --> 01:41:04.479 it's also killed the market. It's not something special anymore. 1810 01:41:04.560 --> 01:41:07.119 So that's another co existing. 1811 01:41:07.199 --> 01:41:10.960 Tan Craig just said, Tuesday nights are only like six dollars. 1812 01:41:11.279 --> 01:41:14.039 I just went and looked to book a seat at 1813 01:41:14.079 --> 01:41:16.600 the am Seed that I normally go to to watch 1814 01:41:17.000 --> 01:41:20.760 the new Vendom movie next Tuesday. It is fourteen dollars, 1815 01:41:20.840 --> 01:41:24.000 and that is the discounted price. Normally it's about twenty 1816 01:41:24.039 --> 01:41:29.000 twenty two discounted as fourteen dollars, which is a lot. Still, 1817 01:41:29.239 --> 01:41:31.600 if you were to go and if suddenly, if you're 1818 01:41:31.640 --> 01:41:33.920 taking a partner, which most people go at least two 1819 01:41:33.960 --> 01:41:36.279 people to a theater, you're looking at twenty eight dollars 1820 01:41:36.680 --> 01:41:39.640 plus tax and convenience fees. Doing that as a family, 1821 01:41:39.680 --> 01:41:43.039 now you're talking about fifty six plus tax and countingience fees. 1822 01:41:43.119 --> 01:41:45.680 I'm a family of five and when we go to 1823 01:41:45.760 --> 01:41:48.439 the movie, it's usually all five of us, and it's 1824 01:41:48.840 --> 01:41:50.760 we have to it has to be well worth our time. 1825 01:41:50.960 --> 01:41:53.840 And so that's why it's like, all right, doing what 1826 01:41:53.880 --> 01:41:57.039 I can to help the industry. But they got to 1827 01:41:57.079 --> 01:41:59.960 have this spark again, you know, to make it magic. 1828 01:42:01.600 --> 01:42:04.680 Terry says, uh A, listen unlimited. It's good for the consumer, 1829 01:42:04.760 --> 01:42:08.159 but unless those consumers go to concessions, it doesn't help theaters, 1830 01:42:08.399 --> 01:42:14.479 which is correct. You you absolutely should be doing that, 1831 01:42:15.319 --> 01:42:17.720 not all every time, obviously don't, but at least somewhat 1832 01:42:17.760 --> 01:42:18.800 helped them out a little bit. 1833 01:42:19.239 --> 01:42:23.239 Yeah, the dollar General dollar box of candy that smuggled 1834 01:42:23.279 --> 01:42:23.840 in your pants. 1835 01:42:24.039 --> 01:42:25.319 Do you need to be a member to get the 1836 01:42:25.319 --> 01:42:28.039 good deal? Craig I was signed in. That was the 1837 01:42:28.079 --> 01:42:30.680 price as a signed in a list member that the 1838 01:42:30.920 --> 01:42:33.880 it was showing thirteen ninety nine and then discounted thirteen 1839 01:42:33.920 --> 01:42:35.079 ninety nine became zero. 1840 01:42:36.479 --> 01:42:40.359 Yeah. I remember when I worked for AMC twenty and 1841 01:42:40.760 --> 01:42:44.720 everybody loved My Big Fat Greek Wedding. And the reason 1842 01:42:44.760 --> 01:42:48.840 why the theater the theaters loved big that movie is 1843 01:42:48.880 --> 01:42:54.920 it ran for a year straight, and so at that point, 1844 01:42:54.920 --> 01:42:58.319 that point the theater starts to get revenue from that movie, 1845 01:42:58.359 --> 01:43:02.800 so they kept going the My Big Fat Wedding train 1846 01:43:02.920 --> 01:43:05.359 for like, oh god, that thing was shown for like 1847 01:43:05.520 --> 01:43:11.359 nine months straight. Yeah, it's whatever the window is. You know, 1848 01:43:11.680 --> 01:43:13.880 there's a little bit right off the bat goes straight 1849 01:43:13.920 --> 01:43:17.039 to the studio, but there is a window where if 1850 01:43:17.039 --> 01:43:20.159 they keep it long enough, it's you know, it goes 1851 01:43:20.159 --> 01:43:22.640 to them. But now it's like, I mean, we don't 1852 01:43:22.680 --> 01:43:25.199 live in that world where there's no way a movie 1853 01:43:25.920 --> 01:43:28.439 can go to the theater. And I don't know the 1854 01:43:28.520 --> 01:43:31.760 logistics of like when they're doing like Classics Night and 1855 01:43:31.760 --> 01:43:34.319 they're pulling et on thing, you know, how much of 1856 01:43:34.319 --> 01:43:37.079 that is going to Universal and how much of that 1857 01:43:37.199 --> 01:43:39.680 is going to the theater. I'm sure plenty of it's 1858 01:43:39.720 --> 01:43:42.560 going back to Universal still, but I don't know the 1859 01:43:42.600 --> 01:43:45.479 logistics of that. But yeah, it's it's a different world. 1860 01:43:45.840 --> 01:43:50.039 Quite often we can. We can gauge some of this 1861 01:43:50.119 --> 01:43:53.800 because one of the biggest holders of theatrical titles for 1862 01:43:54.000 --> 01:43:56.920 especially the ones that we like, is AGFA. They actually 1863 01:43:56.920 --> 01:44:00.560 control a lot of the theatrical screenings and most of 1864 01:44:00.600 --> 01:44:03.760 the time their screenings only cost two hundred and fifty 1865 01:44:03.800 --> 01:44:06.920 dollars for the theater. And so when you are showing 1866 01:44:06.920 --> 01:44:09.920 a film like that and your theater holds I don't know, 1867 01:44:09.960 --> 01:44:13.159 even seventy five people, if you're charging ten bucks a seat, 1868 01:44:13.239 --> 01:44:17.279 which most theaters are charging around there, if not more, yeah, 1869 01:44:17.359 --> 01:44:19.720 you're you're making a little bit of money at least. 1870 01:44:20.439 --> 01:44:23.399 Yeah. Yeah. And so I mean, like I said, that's 1871 01:44:23.680 --> 01:44:26.119 you know what a lot of people want to see. Again, 1872 01:44:26.159 --> 01:44:29.239 if we're going back to the events, that's the step 1873 01:44:29.239 --> 01:44:32.840 in the right direction, is you know, the standby classics 1874 01:44:32.880 --> 01:44:35.359 to put on the screen. Yeah, we gotta we got 1875 01:44:35.359 --> 01:44:38.119 a morph into having modern day films doing the same. 1876 01:44:38.199 --> 01:44:41.159 But I whatever they need to figure out to do 1877 01:44:41.560 --> 01:44:47.159 of having classics night, like like right now, my local 1878 01:44:47.239 --> 01:44:49.399 chain is Harkens and they have a Classic Night. I 1879 01:44:49.439 --> 01:44:52.079 think it's like on Wednesday or something like that, and 1880 01:44:52.119 --> 01:44:54.880 they I don't think they advertise it that much. So 1881 01:44:54.920 --> 01:44:57.880 I never go to it, but the tickets are fairly cheap, 1882 01:44:57.880 --> 01:45:00.840 but I would love to see something old, you know, 1883 01:45:00.920 --> 01:45:03.199 on the screen and all of it's gran during glory. 1884 01:45:04.039 --> 01:45:08.000 But it's just sort of a moot point, And I 1885 01:45:08.079 --> 01:45:10.960 understand that's the industry and they're filling stuff in. You know, 1886 01:45:11.000 --> 01:45:15.159 they're gonna have twenty screens of Terrifire twelve, but you 1887 01:45:15.199 --> 01:45:20.079 know it's they I don't know the logistics of how 1888 01:45:20.119 --> 01:45:23.960 much they care from a corporate standpoint to pursue that stuff, 1889 01:45:24.000 --> 01:45:26.840 but I mean there's a lot of Like the easiest 1890 01:45:26.880 --> 01:45:28.800 one is probably like Rocky Horror, and you have the 1891 01:45:28.840 --> 01:45:33.119 whole gimmick with the cast or with the audience dance 1892 01:45:33.199 --> 01:45:35.319 into all the things. But I don't know how much 1893 01:45:35.359 --> 01:45:36.479 revenue that would bring in. 1894 01:45:36.560 --> 01:45:40.800 But then that's usually not like your Regals or AMC's, 1895 01:45:40.800 --> 01:45:43.479 which are most popular across the US, because they literally 1896 01:45:43.520 --> 01:45:45.279 can't because of the Disney requirements. 1897 01:45:45.720 --> 01:45:49.439 Yeah, it's your little independent one, which I forgot to 1898 01:45:49.439 --> 01:45:52.159 shout out earlier because I know Phoenix. I said that 1899 01:45:52.199 --> 01:45:55.760 it's growing in culture. I do have a friend that 1900 01:45:55.880 --> 01:45:59.760 runs something called Cemetery, which is local here, and he's 1901 01:46:00.000 --> 01:46:02.920 definitely doing a damn this to play some old classic 1902 01:46:02.960 --> 01:46:04.960 horror movies. So I want to give him a shout out. 1903 01:46:06.159 --> 01:46:08.159 Terry is correct here too. He says, as much as 1904 01:46:08.199 --> 01:46:10.680 I love trailers, they really need to show less of them. 1905 01:46:10.840 --> 01:46:12.520 People were burned out on them when I was still 1906 01:46:12.520 --> 01:46:14.279 working in one, and I've noticed as the viewer it's 1907 01:46:14.319 --> 01:46:17.439 gotten worse. I will say, Yeah, AMC is great for 1908 01:46:17.479 --> 01:46:20.880 a list, but they are awful for fucking trailers. I 1909 01:46:20.960 --> 01:46:22.560 didn't know how bad it was because we had not 1910 01:46:22.600 --> 01:46:25.239 been going to an AMC. To get to my closest AMC, 1911 01:46:25.520 --> 01:46:29.399 it's a good twenty ish minute drive, and so we 1912 01:46:29.439 --> 01:46:31.279 didn't start doing that until we got a list like 1913 01:46:31.319 --> 01:46:35.960 three months ago. But we went in there and I 1914 01:46:36.000 --> 01:46:37.840 had heard that it had gotten worse. So I said, 1915 01:46:37.840 --> 01:46:39.520 on the first time that we went, I want to 1916 01:46:39.560 --> 01:46:41.680 test this. And our first showing was at one o'clock 1917 01:46:42.119 --> 01:46:45.159 and they started showing the first trailer at twelve fifty nine, 1918 01:46:45.680 --> 01:46:49.760 and the movie did not start until one twenty eight, 1919 01:46:50.399 --> 01:46:54.840 twenty nine minutes of trailers and the Nicole kidmanad and 1920 01:46:55.840 --> 01:46:58.760 Go Bye Snacks whatever it was, all of that stuff 1921 01:46:58.800 --> 01:47:02.319 twenty nine minutes, Like it's already a two hour twenty 1922 01:47:02.359 --> 01:47:04.840 minute movie for you to get another half hour on 1923 01:47:04.880 --> 01:47:07.279 that is a damper to my day. 1924 01:47:07.960 --> 01:47:12.920 Yeah, harkins. I mean they're okay with its a lot 1925 01:47:12.920 --> 01:47:15.159 of local ads that they put on there as well, 1926 01:47:16.159 --> 01:47:19.560 but yeah, for sure, if you're a time constraint, and 1927 01:47:19.840 --> 01:47:23.239 now the interesting factor of your buying seats early, it's 1928 01:47:23.239 --> 01:47:26.319 like purchasing seats on an airplane versus just you can't 1929 01:47:26.319 --> 01:47:29.199 really go to a theater in the whim of it anymore, right, 1930 01:47:29.239 --> 01:47:32.239 And so I just think that and then that's sort 1931 01:47:32.279 --> 01:47:34.439 of what I used to do back in my you know, 1932 01:47:34.520 --> 01:47:37.119 more aggressive movie watching days in the theater. As I 1933 01:47:37.319 --> 01:47:38.760 just say, what are you gonna do right now? I 1934 01:47:38.800 --> 01:47:41.640 don't know, go to the theater now it's just a 1935 01:47:41.680 --> 01:47:46.840 whole structured ordeal and for you to pragmatically think, Okay, 1936 01:47:46.880 --> 01:47:50.079 this is a two hour, fifteen minute movie and it 1937 01:47:50.159 --> 01:47:53.880 turns into a three hour movie. It's like, yeah, totally 1938 01:47:54.000 --> 01:47:54.720 changes things up. 1939 01:47:55.720 --> 01:47:57.520 Craig says, I forget what I'm there to see by 1940 01:47:57.520 --> 01:48:03.239 the time. Yeah, yeah, it's so true. I mean the 1941 01:48:03.640 --> 01:48:05.600 hard part and uh, I think it was similar was 1942 01:48:05.640 --> 01:48:08.279 just joking. I already know that, uh, Wolfman is the 1943 01:48:08.319 --> 01:48:10.039 new Dammel this movie come out already, so I can 1944 01:48:10.039 --> 01:48:13.039 stop seeing this trailer trailer. You know, there was the 1945 01:48:13.079 --> 01:48:16.479 whole joke about Speak No Evil. This year, everybody that 1946 01:48:16.520 --> 01:48:19.359 has gone to the theater even once every couple of weeks, 1947 01:48:19.399 --> 01:48:22.760 you have seen that trailer this year probably forty times. 1948 01:48:22.760 --> 01:48:25.439 And before that one, it was Shyamalan's Trap. It was 1949 01:48:25.600 --> 01:48:29.279 just you see this thing over and over and over again, 1950 01:48:29.439 --> 01:48:32.079 and it's crazy how much they throw it out there. 1951 01:48:32.960 --> 01:48:35.239 Yeah, and I get to the point where saturation and 1952 01:48:35.279 --> 01:48:38.520 you have an audience that is like, well, if I 1953 01:48:38.600 --> 01:48:41.279 missed it the first week that it's in theaters, it's 1954 01:48:41.399 --> 01:48:44.159 just gonna be over on you know, eight on max 1955 01:48:44.720 --> 01:48:47.079 in five seconds anyway, so I might as well just 1956 01:48:47.199 --> 01:48:49.359 you know, hang out, you know, if I miss it. 1957 01:48:49.399 --> 01:48:52.640 So it's it's almost like do you want you want 1958 01:48:52.680 --> 01:48:55.760 to promote your films to get people hyped, but also 1959 01:48:55.800 --> 01:48:57.399 at the same time, it's like do you want to 1960 01:48:57.439 --> 01:49:00.359 overdo it where you kill the buzz and then people 1961 01:49:00.880 --> 01:49:03.239 have easy options to just see it at their own 1962 01:49:03.319 --> 01:49:05.840 leisure outside of it. So it's like. 1963 01:49:07.399 --> 01:49:10.279 Some clarification from Craig. He just went on AMC and 1964 01:49:10.279 --> 01:49:12.199 he says, when you go to check out, the price 1965 01:49:12.279 --> 01:49:15.960 drops to seven dollars at checkout, So I guess I 1966 01:49:16.000 --> 01:49:18.920 did not go one step. It said fourteen and maybe 1967 01:49:18.960 --> 01:49:22.079 goes to seven after that. Still, it's only on Tuesday nights. 1968 01:49:22.119 --> 01:49:23.720 There's a lot of parents that can't get out on 1969 01:49:23.760 --> 01:49:28.520 Tuesday nights. Yeah, hard part. Patty Boy says, I like 1970 01:49:28.560 --> 01:49:30.359 the trailers because I get my popcorn and soda and 1971 01:49:30.359 --> 01:49:32.520 I have twenty minutes to settle in. I get that 1972 01:49:33.840 --> 01:49:36.840 trailers are always too loud three times the movie itself. Yep. 1973 01:49:37.399 --> 01:49:37.720 Yeah. 1974 01:49:37.760 --> 01:49:40.560 And unless streamers are giving theaters price breaks, I really 1975 01:49:40.560 --> 01:49:43.159 don't understand commercials for prime movies or Hulu or tub 1976 01:49:43.600 --> 01:49:50.399 That is a great question. Great question. So what's up 1977 01:49:50.760 --> 01:49:53.479 with the experiences? Any ideas for people are what are 1978 01:49:53.520 --> 01:49:56.239 theaters missing? What do you think we should have? What 1979 01:49:56.319 --> 01:49:57.600 about you blake any ideas? 1980 01:49:57.840 --> 01:50:02.239 Well? I mean I'm speaking for or I enjoy the 1981 01:50:02.800 --> 01:50:06.840 films that are an event. I you know, it was 1982 01:50:06.920 --> 01:50:09.960 really interesting seeing a release schedule of films this year 1983 01:50:10.000 --> 01:50:13.039 and they're using old EPs, because that's sort of they're 1984 01:50:13.079 --> 01:50:15.239 sort of a life support mode a lot of the 1985 01:50:15.239 --> 01:50:18.600 theater industry and a lot of these these studios, they're 1986 01:50:18.640 --> 01:50:20.960 like the only thing we can pump out, it's not 1987 01:50:21.079 --> 01:50:24.479 worth I think part of them wants to pump out 1988 01:50:24.479 --> 01:50:29.159 a fresh new idea, but the business logistics of it 1989 01:50:29.199 --> 01:50:34.239 is not as safe, not safe ground, so they're gonna 1990 01:50:34.239 --> 01:50:37.239 put out a lot of stuff like you know Twister two, right, 1991 01:50:37.560 --> 01:50:40.439 for example. And I enjoyed that for what it was 1992 01:50:40.479 --> 01:50:43.279 because I loved the first Twister growing up. I was 1993 01:50:43.319 --> 01:50:45.680 at perfect age. I was like ten eleven twelve when 1994 01:50:45.680 --> 01:50:48.760 it first came out, And so the second movie comes out, 1995 01:50:49.159 --> 01:50:52.319 it pays respect to the first film, but it's very 1996 01:50:52.479 --> 01:50:57.479 much its own film. And I think Twister two worked 1997 01:50:57.920 --> 01:51:00.640 because it's a disaster film, so you can make an 1998 01:51:00.640 --> 01:51:02.920 event out of it. But they're gonna get to a 1999 01:51:02.960 --> 01:51:09.319 point where they're just oversaturating all these ips that they're 2000 01:51:09.359 --> 01:51:13.840 starting to kill all the established love. It's like when 2001 01:51:13.880 --> 01:51:17.319 you had the first three Star Wars movies and they're amazing, 2002 01:51:17.359 --> 01:51:19.600 they're an event, and then you release three more and 2003 01:51:19.640 --> 01:51:22.279 you're still cool with it. And then they released three 2004 01:51:22.319 --> 01:51:25.079 more and you're like, okay, and now there's TV shows 2005 01:51:25.159 --> 01:51:27.920 and there's a million things, and now Star Wars pales 2006 01:51:27.920 --> 01:51:32.000 in comparison to what it once was, right, or the 2007 01:51:32.079 --> 01:51:35.640 other thing. I guess a recent one before I end 2008 01:51:35.640 --> 01:51:40.119 this tangent here is Beetlejuice. Right. I loved Beetlejuice. Beetlejuice 2009 01:51:40.119 --> 01:51:44.359 too just came out. I enjoyed Beetlejuice two for what 2010 01:51:44.359 --> 01:51:48.039 it was, but they tried to turn it into a 2011 01:51:48.159 --> 01:51:53.000 ride with twenty billion different ideas all smashed into one movie. 2012 01:51:53.439 --> 01:51:55.760 And it's almost like I couldn't breathe in the movie 2013 01:51:56.039 --> 01:51:58.039 because I was like, I love this concept. I love 2014 01:51:58.119 --> 01:52:01.760 this concept. You guys could have made two movies out 2015 01:52:01.760 --> 01:52:04.199 of this one movie. I mean, heck, they have to 2016 01:52:04.199 --> 01:52:06.760 make a movie called Beetlejuice, Beetle Juice, Beetle Juice anyway, 2017 01:52:06.760 --> 01:52:09.119 out of irony of the series. You might as well 2018 01:52:09.199 --> 01:52:11.000 save some of the ideas and do the other one. 2019 01:52:11.560 --> 01:52:14.479 So that's the road that they should not go down. 2020 01:52:14.720 --> 01:52:19.840 That I do see them going down. And so when 2021 01:52:19.840 --> 01:52:26.039 it comes to events they need to do obviously. I 2022 01:52:26.119 --> 01:52:30.840 like the idea of old disaster films is a safe bet. 2023 01:52:31.039 --> 01:52:33.880 Make it a ride, scare the audience. That's why the 2024 01:52:34.439 --> 01:52:37.560 whore is the old standby. I really wish I could 2025 01:52:37.560 --> 01:52:40.880 see something in that forty X or D box, Like 2026 01:52:40.920 --> 01:52:43.840 I said, Phoenix is a growing city, and eventually they'll 2027 01:52:43.840 --> 01:52:46.439 get one because they're big enough to get one. But 2028 01:52:47.159 --> 01:52:50.800 I would love to like ride Twister too, you know, 2029 01:52:50.960 --> 01:52:54.600 in that thing or the original Twister. You know, release 2030 01:52:54.640 --> 01:52:57.039 some of the old films and then do the same 2031 01:52:57.119 --> 01:52:59.279 kind of effects with that. The old standby is that 2032 01:53:00.000 --> 01:53:06.159 people clamor for and have a huge nostalgia, build and 2033 01:53:06.479 --> 01:53:09.399 work with some special effects person to not add to it. 2034 01:53:09.439 --> 01:53:13.159 We're not talking about George Lucas cgi Jabba the Hut here, 2035 01:53:13.199 --> 01:53:15.800 but like add effects to it. 2036 01:53:15.880 --> 01:53:16.119 You know. 2037 01:53:16.199 --> 01:53:19.880 I just got back from Disneyland a couple of weeks ago, 2038 01:53:20.000 --> 01:53:23.520 and they had a simple little three D movie in 2039 01:53:23.600 --> 01:53:25.840 that and there's little stuff lying at your face, and 2040 01:53:26.479 --> 01:53:29.920 it's just the little novelties of it all that I 2041 01:53:29.960 --> 01:53:35.880 think is the first building block that's on that standpoint. 2042 01:53:35.960 --> 01:53:39.239 I do think that we also have to have normalcy 2043 01:53:39.319 --> 01:53:42.399 to get back into dramas and comedies, and those really 2044 01:53:42.399 --> 01:53:48.199 aren't your gimmick films. It's just an It's an interesting landscape, 2045 01:53:48.279 --> 01:53:51.520 and I think that there's some hurdles to get through, 2046 01:53:51.560 --> 01:53:53.560 but I think in retrospect, I think we have to 2047 01:53:53.600 --> 01:53:55.760 go through growing pains and we'll get there. I think 2048 01:53:55.800 --> 01:53:57.800 this is going to be known as like the big 2049 01:53:57.840 --> 01:54:01.079 business era when you're looking at film eras, and I 2050 01:54:01.119 --> 01:54:03.920 think conten years time, we'll have some crazy film movement 2051 01:54:04.000 --> 01:54:07.279 that it'll have its own pros and cons, but it'll 2052 01:54:07.279 --> 01:54:08.840 be interesting to look back at this. 2053 01:54:10.760 --> 01:54:13.800 Yeah, the whole forty X thing, this is one thing 2054 01:54:13.800 --> 01:54:16.199 I was thinking about before. Like I again, I mentioned 2055 01:54:16.199 --> 01:54:19.399 earlier the d box thing. When I was in California, California, 2056 01:54:19.520 --> 01:54:21.359 I had to drive forty five minutes to get to 2057 01:54:21.399 --> 01:54:23.560 a box theater and I think it's the only one 2058 01:54:23.560 --> 01:54:26.000 that was there. I mean this was thirteen years ago 2059 01:54:26.079 --> 01:54:29.600 or whatever. But imagine if you lived in a smaller 2060 01:54:29.640 --> 01:54:33.960 town and you took a fairly small footprint on you know, 2061 01:54:34.079 --> 01:54:38.039 main Street, USA wherever, and just make a little two 2062 01:54:38.119 --> 01:54:41.279 theater for d X or d box place that can 2063 01:54:41.319 --> 01:54:44.840 show catalog titles and not live on new titles, so 2064 01:54:44.880 --> 01:54:48.760 you don't have the desire to compete with Disney. You 2065 01:54:48.800 --> 01:54:52.359 can play Cabin in the Woods the entire month of October. Yeah, come, 2066 01:54:52.399 --> 01:54:54.520 come spend twelve bucks and watch Cabin in the Woods 2067 01:54:54.520 --> 01:54:59.920 and d box and buy our you know, festival apple 2068 01:55:00.720 --> 01:55:04.000 cinnamon beer or whatever we're doing it's crazy. 2069 01:55:04.640 --> 01:55:06.960 Yeah, I mean it's not hard because we're talking about 2070 01:55:07.039 --> 01:55:10.239 you know, William Castle here, he's pulling all these gimmicks 2071 01:55:10.239 --> 01:55:14.119 in the nineteen fifties, right, and so you know, I 2072 01:55:14.159 --> 01:55:16.920 don't know like the safety of it all, you know, 2073 01:55:17.079 --> 01:55:19.720 the wiring under the seats, but you know, that's been 2074 01:55:19.800 --> 01:55:23.399 fifty years plus, and so I'm sure that there's gonna 2075 01:55:23.399 --> 01:55:26.960 be There's been some novelties, but that's what they got 2076 01:55:27.000 --> 01:55:32.239 to break through the barrier of. And I think, yes, 2077 01:55:32.319 --> 01:55:36.039 there's an industry standard where we got to fix the 2078 01:55:36.199 --> 01:55:38.279 new movies that come out. But then alsto, I think 2079 01:55:38.479 --> 01:55:42.000 there's just a reliable source of old movies that you know, 2080 01:55:42.520 --> 01:55:45.039 especially like you said, small town, USA, or you know, 2081 01:55:45.199 --> 01:55:50.159 just moderate you know, any moderate metropolitan area place that 2082 01:55:50.199 --> 01:55:55.000 has you know, plenty of population. Just show some of 2083 01:55:55.000 --> 01:55:59.119 those classics, but don't rely on like six dollars Classic Knight. 2084 01:55:59.239 --> 01:56:01.680 Just come see the movie and just whatever zone out 2085 01:56:02.439 --> 01:56:04.560 build it as you know, you could turn it from 2086 01:56:04.600 --> 01:56:07.760 six dollars Classic Night to ten fifteen dollars Classic Night 2087 01:56:08.319 --> 01:56:11.680 if it's gonna be a crazy you know, shake you 2088 01:56:11.760 --> 01:56:14.520 around a little bit, whatever novelty it is, you know, 2089 01:56:15.520 --> 01:56:18.319 And I think that is gonna be something that starts 2090 01:56:18.319 --> 01:56:20.880 to get people in more and more, and then you know, 2091 01:56:20.960 --> 01:56:24.199 you can make new films that sort of branch off 2092 01:56:24.239 --> 01:56:27.960 of like, hey, you enjoyed this experience that because word 2093 01:56:27.960 --> 01:56:30.720 of mouth catches on right, and so like, hey, you 2094 01:56:30.920 --> 01:56:35.920 enjoyed the re insurgence of you know whatever movie that 2095 01:56:36.079 --> 01:56:38.840 hit a spark again, you know that news is gonna 2096 01:56:38.840 --> 01:56:43.800 travel and then somebody's gonna make a movie that plays 2097 01:56:43.840 --> 01:56:45.680 on that gimmick, but it'll be a new movie. And 2098 01:56:45.720 --> 01:56:49.239 then hair, you got a fresh new genre. And I 2099 01:56:49.279 --> 01:56:53.319 mean the problem is, yes, things can get over saturated eventually, 2100 01:56:53.359 --> 01:56:57.439 but you know, we're jumping forward into something. 2101 01:56:57.600 --> 01:56:57.800 You know. 2102 01:56:57.880 --> 01:57:00.840 I think that's where the terrifier sort of comes in 2103 01:57:00.880 --> 01:57:04.640 because I'll applaud terrifier for what it's doing in its 2104 01:57:04.640 --> 01:57:08.199 own little rights. It's building upon its gimmick. Yes, it's 2105 01:57:08.359 --> 01:57:11.880 it's a chore for some people, and some people really 2106 01:57:11.920 --> 01:57:14.720 love it. But you have to really sit there and say, 2107 01:57:15.079 --> 01:57:18.640 you know, terrifiers doing its thing, and it is. Yes, 2108 01:57:18.720 --> 01:57:22.800 it's horror, so yes that's the most accessible thing. But yeah, 2109 01:57:22.960 --> 01:57:27.960 make people put their phones away, but yeah, it's it's 2110 01:57:28.000 --> 01:57:28.960 one of those things. 2111 01:57:30.439 --> 01:57:33.000 Fully agree with zimmin Er, who is saying, here's a 2112 01:57:33.079 --> 01:57:36.520 nifty gimmick, make people put their phones away. I used 2113 01:57:36.560 --> 01:57:38.479 to have an Alamo draft house here in Kansas City. 2114 01:57:38.640 --> 01:57:41.680 They well, they close down momentarily, and then B and 2115 01:57:41.760 --> 01:57:43.960 B theaters bought them and they're using it now. But 2116 01:57:44.600 --> 01:57:47.560 I only went to that Alamo because of the whole 2117 01:57:47.840 --> 01:57:51.359 no phone requirement and no talking during it or will 2118 01:57:51.359 --> 01:57:53.920 literally kick you out. I really wish most theaters would 2119 01:57:53.920 --> 01:57:57.199 do that. And if you stick to that, it literally 2120 01:57:57.199 --> 01:58:00.920 becomes an experience because you're enveloped by the film. Yeah, 2121 01:58:00.960 --> 01:58:03.720 the amount of times I've seen people texting on their 2122 01:58:03.760 --> 01:58:08.239 watch and peaking at the time during like dark scenes, 2123 01:58:08.479 --> 01:58:11.000 you know, a horror movie is so goddamn annoying. 2124 01:58:11.880 --> 01:58:15.439 Yeah, I mean it's the evolution of human attention, which 2125 01:58:15.479 --> 01:58:19.239 has not helped any of this whatsoever. And so yeah, 2126 01:58:19.399 --> 01:58:21.920 I've definitely seen my fair share of people just pull 2127 01:58:21.960 --> 01:58:24.119 it up their phone. And I think I've seen only 2128 01:58:26.239 --> 01:58:28.880 a movie theater employee like once or twice until somebody 2129 01:58:29.000 --> 01:58:32.399 turn it off. But I have definitely every big movie 2130 01:58:32.479 --> 01:58:35.439 I go to, there's somebody sitting there like just playing 2131 01:58:35.479 --> 01:58:39.399 something on their phone. It's sort of the population we've become. 2132 01:58:39.720 --> 01:58:42.079 They should just put a big thing on the theater 2133 01:58:42.159 --> 01:58:45.960 to the screen that says if you pull up your phone, 2134 01:58:46.039 --> 01:58:48.880 we will confiscate it or something like some scare tactic. 2135 01:58:49.199 --> 01:58:52.640 I don't know. They probably can't so they can't liability. 2136 01:58:52.840 --> 01:58:55.560 But you know, do some scare tactic and there will 2137 01:58:55.600 --> 01:58:58.239 be at least you know, sixty percent of the audience 2138 01:58:58.239 --> 01:59:00.479 they'll buy it. Even though if they can do. 2139 01:59:00.439 --> 01:59:02.439 It, I mean, you have the right to refuse service. 2140 01:59:02.800 --> 01:59:04.399 Yeah, exactly if. 2141 01:59:04.239 --> 01:59:05.920 They're ruining it for other people, even if you got 2142 01:59:05.920 --> 01:59:09.079 a refund them, get out, Like I'd rather have everybody 2143 01:59:09.119 --> 01:59:11.199 else happy and have you out of the. 2144 01:59:11.199 --> 01:59:15.279 Room exactly exactly. And that's I it needs to be 2145 01:59:15.319 --> 01:59:19.439 the undivided attention. Again. I think that's a big chunk 2146 01:59:19.479 --> 01:59:19.760 of it. 2147 01:59:20.199 --> 01:59:23.279 Craig says, most people in LA a pretty good theater etiquette. 2148 01:59:23.279 --> 01:59:26.079 That is very lucky. But similar says, block the cell 2149 01:59:26.119 --> 01:59:28.920 signal from getting inside the theater. I mean that's a 2150 01:59:28.920 --> 01:59:30.439 good start. Make them all afferretag. 2151 01:59:30.520 --> 01:59:31.000 Yeah, but. 2152 01:59:33.079 --> 01:59:34.920 That's probably not enough. People are still gonna check the 2153 01:59:34.960 --> 01:59:38.279 time and shit, yeah, that light, that light is so blinding. 2154 01:59:38.319 --> 01:59:40.920 If like somebody is driving at night and there's no 2155 01:59:41.079 --> 01:59:43.680 lights on the screen, and suddenly somebody's like, oh, it's 2156 01:59:43.680 --> 01:59:45.319 seven thirty four. I got it. 2157 01:59:45.960 --> 01:59:49.159 People just don't care anymore. It's just in cell phone 2158 01:59:49.279 --> 01:59:51.520 so ingrained in that. I mean, they say, I won't 2159 01:59:51.560 --> 01:59:53.640 go on on tangent they're driving, but you know, people 2160 01:59:53.800 --> 01:59:56.520 see daily layers just driving two miles an hour down 2161 01:59:56.520 --> 01:59:58.800 the road because they're texting while they're It's the same thing. 2162 01:59:59.359 --> 02:00:02.600 It's just it's just cell phones are so ingrained that 2163 02:00:02.640 --> 02:00:05.319 it's it's gotta be just a hard stop. 2164 02:00:05.840 --> 02:00:09.640 So I complete tangent. I guess I'm enraged by how 2165 02:00:09.680 --> 02:00:14.000 many people I've seen watching TikTok while driving. What the hell? 2166 02:00:15.840 --> 02:00:19.960 Yeah, I'm I'm definitely in the phase where one other 2167 02:00:20.159 --> 02:00:22.600 random job I used to and we won't take a 2168 02:00:22.640 --> 02:00:25.000 tangent on this whole thing, but I used to investigate 2169 02:00:25.000 --> 02:00:29.720 automobile accidents. Awesome, So texting and driving is a big 2170 02:00:29.760 --> 02:00:32.680 thing with me that I a. But yeah, I'm definitely 2171 02:00:32.680 --> 02:00:36.119 in the mode now where I'm in the car pickup line, 2172 02:00:36.239 --> 02:00:38.560 dropping off my kids, picking them up all the time. 2173 02:00:38.600 --> 02:00:40.600 And I can't tell you how many people are just 2174 02:00:41.199 --> 02:00:44.399 going slower than dirt because they're just texting and looking 2175 02:00:44.399 --> 02:00:46.640 at it all that that's a mess. So yeah, we 2176 02:00:46.720 --> 02:00:48.159 just need to get rid of cell phone and then 2177 02:00:48.239 --> 02:00:51.119 the theater industry will be booming again.
