Hello, we'll get this fixed sooner. I'm sure 32 00:01:40.840 --> 00:01:47.560 ethnical difficulties and your audio is very awkward. Yeah, we'll 33 00:01:47.560 --> 00:01:50.879 get this figured out. I am glad everybody's here. It's 34 00:01:50.920 --> 00:01:54.000 been a heck of a week. It is really really 35 00:01:54.120 --> 00:01:56.040 nice to see everybody. It's been a very busy week, 36 00:01:56.079 --> 00:01:58.480 so great to spend some time with everybody. 37 00:01:58.519 --> 00:02:00.480 Give me a second. I'm gonna just things so I 38 00:02:00.480 --> 00:02:01.560 can hear you real quick. 39 00:02:02.560 --> 00:02:06.840 We go okay, okay, I'll bring Brian back in in 40 00:02:06.879 --> 00:02:09.840 just a minute and we'll see what's going on. Brian, 41 00:02:09.919 --> 00:02:13.319 for everybody that does not know, is a as you'll 42 00:02:13.319 --> 00:02:15.919 see in the thumbnail, a laser disc enthusiast, and that 43 00:02:16.039 --> 00:02:18.240 is underselling it. We're going to find out why that 44 00:02:18.319 --> 00:02:21.400 is underselling it because he is one of the foremost 45 00:02:21.439 --> 00:02:25.560 collectors of laser disc in the entire us. On that note, 46 00:02:25.639 --> 00:02:27.520 if you want to know more about laser disc, think 47 00:02:27.560 --> 00:02:30.759 of your questions. He can answer pretty much everything. He 48 00:02:31.080 --> 00:02:34.960 is a master at valuing items, he is a master 49 00:02:35.159 --> 00:02:38.000 at tracking things down around the world and getting them 50 00:02:38.120 --> 00:02:40.919 for his collection. He's going after a couple of complete 51 00:02:40.960 --> 00:02:42.840 collections that we will talk about in a little bit 52 00:02:43.680 --> 00:02:48.840 as far as okay, Brian says, he can hear me, 53 00:02:48.919 --> 00:02:50.759 but he's also going to hear himself. All right, I'll 54 00:02:50.759 --> 00:02:57.479 bring him back in what happened Brian? We tested this, Yeah, 55 00:02:58.080 --> 00:03:00.240 and now your sound is very different than earlier too. 56 00:03:00.680 --> 00:03:04.479 I know I don't hear anything from you again, so 57 00:03:04.560 --> 00:03:09.520 I can I can. Yeah, it's very strange, very strange. 58 00:03:09.960 --> 00:03:11.120 Hopefully we can figure it out. 59 00:03:11.159 --> 00:03:13.879 If not, I mean, I'm doing it based on the stream, 60 00:03:13.919 --> 00:03:15.759 but I don't hear anything directly from you. 61 00:03:16.560 --> 00:03:22.080 Yeah, that's that is quite awkward. We'll figure that out. Yeah, 62 00:03:22.080 --> 00:03:23.840 we're gonna get into all of our regular stuff. And 63 00:03:23.879 --> 00:03:27.280 also Brian is going to cover his normal pickups, talk 64 00:03:27.280 --> 00:03:29.199 about the stuff that he collects, tell us about some 65 00:03:29.319 --> 00:03:33.199 laser discs and all of that. Uh, this is a funny, 66 00:03:33.280 --> 00:03:36.280 freaking question, Sibner. Simner says, foremost or as in one 67 00:03:36.280 --> 00:03:39.080 of the only four now they we're gonna talk about 68 00:03:39.120 --> 00:03:41.439 because he he buys and sells a lot of laser discs. 69 00:03:42.719 --> 00:03:50.360 Are we good now no, okay, these silences, Okay. 70 00:03:50.680 --> 00:03:52.479 Well I don't hear you. So I'm gonna be right. 71 00:03:52.479 --> 00:03:55.479 I'll be right back, all right, So I'll carry on 72 00:03:55.560 --> 00:03:57.840 for just a moment, just so it's not super awkward 73 00:03:57.879 --> 00:03:59.680 for Brian for for me to talk about it for 74 00:03:59.680 --> 00:04:01.680 a minute. I'm gonna show a couple of pickups and 75 00:04:01.879 --> 00:04:04.960 the best one. Normally I don't make a big deal 76 00:04:04.960 --> 00:04:06.719 out of this, but I just got in the brand 77 00:04:06.759 --> 00:04:09.840 new Physical Media Advocate for this month, and I don't 78 00:04:09.879 --> 00:04:14.000 know why. Something about it is like extra handsome this month. 79 00:04:14.039 --> 00:04:19.040 It came together really freaking great. Everything is really incredible 80 00:04:19.040 --> 00:04:21.959 in the hand some of our favorite articles that we've 81 00:04:21.959 --> 00:04:25.120 done yet until the next couple months, because man, we've 82 00:04:25.120 --> 00:04:27.480 got some big stuff on the way for everybody. Check 83 00:04:27.519 --> 00:04:29.240 this out if you are not up to date on 84 00:04:29.240 --> 00:04:31.439 the Physical Media Advocate or checking this out every once 85 00:04:31.439 --> 00:04:33.680 in a while. I know it's a weird thing to 86 00:04:33.680 --> 00:04:36.000 hawk for myself because I normally don't do it, but 87 00:04:36.519 --> 00:04:39.000 this thing has grown leafs and bounds. What started out 88 00:04:39.040 --> 00:04:42.639 as a six page pdf is now a monthly fifty 89 00:04:42.680 --> 00:04:46.800 plus page publication that is going worldwide, available in four 90 00:04:46.839 --> 00:04:50.279 countries and getting people from all over the world, right 91 00:04:50.399 --> 00:04:52.959 every single month, and it is turning out to be 92 00:04:53.000 --> 00:04:58.759 something incredible. We are doing two really special things here 93 00:04:58.800 --> 00:05:01.560 soon that I can't wait to tell everybody about. Robert 94 00:05:01.639 --> 00:05:03.920 is asking any glitches on our end. Storm just passed 95 00:05:03.959 --> 00:05:05.759 overs in the last half hour, maybe in your area 96 00:05:05.759 --> 00:05:07.839 an hour or so. I just got a notification that 97 00:05:07.879 --> 00:05:11.639 it's about to hit Johnson County, so I probably got yeah, 98 00:05:11.759 --> 00:05:15.040 somewhere around an hour. We'll see you something like that, Brian, 99 00:05:15.079 --> 00:05:15.560 Are we better? 100 00:05:15.560 --> 00:05:17.480 There we go? Yeah, I see you, I hear you. 101 00:05:17.639 --> 00:05:20.079 Yay, And everything's yeah, all right? 102 00:05:20.199 --> 00:05:27.040 He perfect? Now, Yes that was strange. I yeah, everything's perfect. 103 00:05:28.319 --> 00:05:30.199 All right. We'll get to you just a second. Rafa 104 00:05:30.240 --> 00:05:31.959 wants to know you're holding physical media magazine or a 105 00:05:31.959 --> 00:05:34.839 graphic novel.

We'll 108 00:05:41.000 --> 00:05:43.360 talk more about that at some point, but yeah, if 109 00:05:43.399 --> 00:05:44.879 you got Amazon where you are, you can get it 110 00:05:44.879 --> 00:05:47.800 on Amazon. Check out the Physical Media Advocate. Brian, you 111 00:05:47.879 --> 00:05:50.920 wrote a shit ton for the Physical Media Advocates. Thanks 112 00:05:50.959 --> 00:05:51.439 for doing that. 113 00:05:51.759 --> 00:05:53.639 Oh no, I'm pretty no problem. I just wrote one 114 00:05:54.319 --> 00:05:57.120 series of articles so far and hopefully I can continue. 115 00:05:57.439 --> 00:06:00.480 But yeah, it was all about Hong Kong cinema, really 116 00:06:00.519 --> 00:06:03.360 like a bit of the birth of it, but really 117 00:06:03.399 --> 00:06:07.120 like how it's second Golden Age Soka, like eighty six, 118 00:06:07.680 --> 00:06:10.879 the handover in ninety seven, and I sort of tried 119 00:06:10.879 --> 00:06:13.560 to take an economic perspective and work my way back 120 00:06:13.600 --> 00:06:15.519 and like how do they get the money to make 121 00:06:15.560 --> 00:06:18.000 these movies? How do they do it? And what came 122 00:06:18.000 --> 00:06:20.319 out of it? And then how did it die? But 123 00:06:20.439 --> 00:06:23.839 it was really long. It took me. I read a 124 00:06:23.879 --> 00:06:28.279 stupid amount of things, Like I was reading like vintage 125 00:06:28.319 --> 00:06:31.319 Hong Kong economic reports from the seventies all the way 126 00:06:31.360 --> 00:06:33.800 through like the nineties to try to figure out like 127 00:06:33.879 --> 00:06:36.000 where it all came from. It was fun, It was 128 00:06:36.000 --> 00:06:36.360 really good. 129 00:06:38.040 --> 00:06:40.160 We're going to talk about laser dis tonight. Before we 130 00:06:40.240 --> 00:06:42.720 get into the heart of everything, why don't you share 131 00:06:42.920 --> 00:06:45.720 just the obvious questions here? How many do you have 132 00:06:46.160 --> 00:06:49.240 and what are you trying to collect with laser discs? 133 00:06:49.480 --> 00:06:52.600 How many do I have? I have just under seventeen 134 00:06:52.639 --> 00:06:57.839 thousand of them. What am I trying to collect with them? 135 00:06:58.120 --> 00:07:02.240 You know? In like the Grand scheme of things. I 136 00:07:02.279 --> 00:07:08.160 would love to get any movie released on laser disc 137 00:07:09.040 --> 00:07:13.800 across all continents. I don't quite have the bandwidth to 138 00:07:13.839 --> 00:07:16.519 do that. So, like my real thing is I'm trying 139 00:07:16.519 --> 00:07:20.160 to get a complete set of wide screen US laser discs, 140 00:07:22.079 --> 00:07:23.879 which you know, it's a little hard to put a 141 00:07:23.879 --> 00:07:26.040 finger on it because they released like like two thousand 142 00:07:26.079 --> 00:07:29.399 and one that got released like two or three times widescreen, 143 00:07:29.639 --> 00:07:32.879 actually four times, I think. So if you break it 144 00:07:32.959 --> 00:07:35.600 down out of that, like how many movies is that, 145 00:07:36.360 --> 00:07:39.839 you know, it's like it's in the eight or nine 146 00:07:39.920 --> 00:07:43.720 thousand range, and right now I'm missing just under two hundred. 147 00:07:46.920 --> 00:07:49.240 So I got to ask, because I know you tracked this, 148 00:07:49.399 --> 00:07:52.720 is there confirmed copy still in decent condition of all 149 00:07:52.759 --> 00:07:57.920 two hundred of those in the world, you know. 150 00:07:58.160 --> 00:08:00.120 Nottually you know, to be so honest, some of this 151 00:08:00.160 --> 00:08:05.319 stuff is I would say mostly yes, with a few caveats. 152 00:08:05.319 --> 00:08:09.040 So Thai Sang released a lot of laser discs in 153 00:08:09.079 --> 00:08:11.399 Hong Kong and in the United States, and in the 154 00:08:11.480 --> 00:08:15.519 United States here I didn't bring it. I don't think 155 00:08:15.519 --> 00:08:16.439 I have any with me right here. But in the 156 00:08:16.519 --> 00:08:20.160 United States. The main difference between a Thai Sang release 157 00:08:20.199 --> 00:08:23.360 of a laser disc and for the US and what 158 00:08:23.439 --> 00:08:25.600 they release in Hong Kong is basically just a white 159 00:08:25.600 --> 00:08:28.000 strip of paper, and so if I can't find it 160 00:08:28.040 --> 00:08:29.639 with the white strip of paper, I don't count it 161 00:08:29.639 --> 00:08:33.279 as the US release. And like that's a little bit 162 00:08:33.320 --> 00:08:36.039 of like a nebulous like do I really care deeply 163 00:08:36.080 --> 00:08:38.320 about a white strip of paper or not? But as 164 00:08:38.320 --> 00:08:40.080 many of that can find with the white strip of 165 00:08:40.080 --> 00:08:42.799 paper I have, and I have a lot of them, 166 00:08:42.879 --> 00:08:45.679 but they are like, of the two hundred I'm missing, 167 00:08:45.960 --> 00:08:49.480 probably sixty of them are these Tai Sang ones. And 168 00:08:50.200 --> 00:08:53.000 you know, they don't pop up that often because you 169 00:08:53.000 --> 00:08:55.679 would have had to, like you know, keep it in 170 00:08:55.720 --> 00:08:57.600 a sleeve more or less, because the white piece of 171 00:08:57.639 --> 00:08:59.799 paper is literally just a piece of folding paper that 172 00:08:59.799 --> 00:09:03.519 they cut and printed. It's nothing fancy. So like those ones, 173 00:09:03.559 --> 00:09:06.799 maybe maybe not. Everything else is like, yeah, there are 174 00:09:07.080 --> 00:09:09.000 a lot more laser disc fans than you would think. 175 00:09:09.480 --> 00:09:14.120 I think the main Facebook forum has like eleven thousand members. 176 00:09:15.399 --> 00:09:19.279 I think if you look in general, you know, there's 177 00:09:19.360 --> 00:09:23.120 probably a solid five six thousand people that spend laser 178 00:09:23.200 --> 00:09:25.960 disc often. Probably three thousand of those in the States 179 00:09:27.279 --> 00:09:30.600 they were incredibly popular in Japan and in East Asia 180 00:09:30.639 --> 00:09:33.000 in general, so there's a lot more than you would think. 181 00:09:33.399 --> 00:09:34.879 And it went on for a lot longer. I mean, 182 00:09:35.360 --> 00:09:39.559 laser disc basically lasted as long as DVD lasted, right, 183 00:09:39.639 --> 00:09:41.399 So it's not like it was a flash in the pan. 184 00:09:41.480 --> 00:09:45.240 It's just expensive and it was niche. So while DVD 185 00:09:45.440 --> 00:09:49.480 was cheap and broad, laser disc was like, laser disc 186 00:09:49.559 --> 00:09:53.399 was a thing that those who loved cinema, especially at 187 00:09:53.399 --> 00:09:54.240 the time got. 188 00:09:57.279 --> 00:09:59.960 There is a lot to go over on laser disc. 189 00:10:00.399 --> 00:10:03.080 I mean, I just had like fourteen questions pop up 190 00:10:03.080 --> 00:10:05.440 doesn't ask. But before we get into all that, I 191 00:10:05.440 --> 00:10:07.360 want everybody to have a chance just to think about it. 192 00:10:07.399 --> 00:10:09.919 So we're gonna get deep into laser discs after the 193 00:10:09.960 --> 00:10:13.639 announcements tonight. We're gonna go into like full blown nerdy 194 00:10:13.679 --> 00:10:17.600 side of things. So first let's get into some of 195 00:10:17.600 --> 00:10:20.480 our regular topics. What do you what are you collecting 196 00:10:20.519 --> 00:10:23.000 on on we'll say contemporary physical media. 197 00:10:23.960 --> 00:10:28.240 So I mean, I I'm like I'm slowing down a 198 00:10:28.279 --> 00:10:30.440 little bit just because of like sort of changing like 199 00:10:31.159 --> 00:10:34.759 my shelf space, my workspace, my everything space. But like 200 00:10:35.159 --> 00:10:38.679 I have a bunch of labels and types of movies 201 00:10:38.720 --> 00:10:41.159 that I really like, and so I try to stay 202 00:10:41.279 --> 00:10:45.399 mostly complete. So like just in the mail today watching 203 00:10:45.679 --> 00:10:47.039 I don't get my mail here. I have to get 204 00:10:47.039 --> 00:10:48.879 my mail somewhere else. But just recently I picked up 205 00:10:48.879 --> 00:10:52.000 from the mail the New Deaf Crocodile. I have all 206 00:10:52.080 --> 00:10:55.679 their releases. I love their stuff. This is gonna be cool. 207 00:10:57.519 --> 00:11:00.879 And then I recently went on a trip to Montreal 208 00:11:00.919 --> 00:11:04.320 with my family and I found a VHS so this 209 00:11:04.399 --> 00:11:07.679 erotic thriller dubbed in French. This is a movie called 210 00:11:07.799 --> 00:11:10.679 Matter of Trusts but dubbed in French. So that's kind 211 00:11:10.679 --> 00:11:12.840 of cool. And then when I'm out there, I always 212 00:11:12.879 --> 00:11:15.919 look for like weird DVDs, so this is like movie 213 00:11:16.000 --> 00:11:18.960 running out of time, early Harvey ar Bardem. And then 214 00:11:19.200 --> 00:11:22.200 quebec Qua has their own cinema that existed for a 215 00:11:22.200 --> 00:11:25.320 really long time. And in Montreal you can find a 216 00:11:25.360 --> 00:11:27.399 bunch of dirt cheap, so I bought some of that, 217 00:11:28.080 --> 00:11:32.440 like dollars a pop. And then I really like Arrow, 218 00:11:32.519 --> 00:11:34.240 and of course we don't talk about Hong Kong, so 219 00:11:34.279 --> 00:11:38.399 I got the New Arrow, Hard Boiled and Killers, and 220 00:11:39.559 --> 00:11:42.799 I really like Radiance, so I ended up getting This 221 00:11:42.840 --> 00:11:45.480 is Johnny Toe movie, another Hong Kong movie, Romances in 222 00:11:45.519 --> 00:11:48.480 the Air. That one me too. I love Johnny Toe. 223 00:11:48.519 --> 00:11:52.519 You know, he's another funny guy like you Can Talk. 224 00:11:52.639 --> 00:11:54.679 I'm not going to go into it now, but he 225 00:11:54.840 --> 00:11:59.639 like spans from the beginning of the second Golden Age 226 00:11:59.679 --> 00:12:02.559 of Cung cinema, and he's like one of the three 227 00:12:02.639 --> 00:12:05.279 or four that kept golling. So he really still has 228 00:12:05.279 --> 00:12:08.240 a presence and kind of cool. And I picked up 229 00:12:08.279 --> 00:12:11.759 The Matador very nice. 230 00:12:11.840 --> 00:12:13.559 We'll be talking about that one a little more and 231 00:12:13.639 --> 00:12:16.919 a little bit. I'm sure some exciting stuff from Radiance. 232 00:12:16.960 --> 00:12:20.279 They've had a few great months, for sure. A couple 233 00:12:20.279 --> 00:12:22.480 of things I wanted to show one. I know you 234 00:12:22.639 --> 00:12:25.759 big into eighty eight films. This is their newest one. 235 00:12:26.039 --> 00:12:30.159 This is the Angry River. Will note that they like 236 00:12:30.679 --> 00:12:32.600 change the quality the slipcover on this one. I know 237 00:12:32.679 --> 00:12:35.639 people are super into slipcovers. This one feels interesting. It's 238 00:12:35.679 --> 00:12:39.480 like a different material altogether, a little little more high quality. 239 00:12:39.519 --> 00:12:43.759 Possibly nice release. Well go USA. I've been wanting to 240 00:12:43.840 --> 00:12:46.399 check this one out. Beast of War. When they put 241 00:12:46.440 --> 00:12:49.000 out press discs, I'm much more likely to purchase these. 242 00:12:49.039 --> 00:12:51.279 They do a lot of b DRS. But Beast of 243 00:12:51.279 --> 00:12:53.519 War is supposedly pretty good, so I wanted to check 244 00:12:53.559 --> 00:12:56.039 that one out. You just brought up Arrow and some 245 00:12:56.120 --> 00:12:59.519 of their newest ones. We've got the Eye, This is 246 00:12:59.559 --> 00:13:01.519 a brain four K from them, which is supposed to 247 00:13:01.559 --> 00:13:04.120 be great. And then one that I've been wanting to 248 00:13:04.159 --> 00:13:09.440 see for a long time, wandering Ginza Butterfly. This is 249 00:13:10.720 --> 00:13:12.919 very nice looking release. Glad you got this one too. 250 00:13:13.480 --> 00:13:15.799 This is Miko Kagi stuff that people have been wanting 251 00:13:15.799 --> 00:13:18.559 to see in good, high quality for a long time, 252 00:13:19.080 --> 00:13:20.840 just like the last one I want to talking about, 253 00:13:20.879 --> 00:13:24.080 which is Full Moon's released of last Foxtrott and Burbank, 254 00:13:24.840 --> 00:13:28.799 written by partially John Carpenter. Very eager to see this 255 00:13:28.840 --> 00:13:32.039 one because I love John Carpenter. Although it's supposed to 256 00:13:32.080 --> 00:13:33.559 be pretty terrible. 257 00:13:34.559 --> 00:13:36.360 I've never I've never seen it. I've heard of it. 258 00:13:36.759 --> 00:13:41.039 Yeah, yeah, what about what you've been watching? Because you 259 00:13:41.080 --> 00:13:42.960 are kind of all over the place. Although we're definitely 260 00:13:42.960 --> 00:13:45.519 gonna get into erotic thrillers tonight, I'm sure. 261 00:13:45.559 --> 00:13:48.720 Yeah that I'll break that down a lot more a 262 00:13:48.720 --> 00:13:51.879 lot later. But yeah, so, I mean I do kind 263 00:13:51.879 --> 00:13:53.840 of watch a little all over the place. I really 264 00:13:53.919 --> 00:13:56.879 I really like this Buster Keaton set they got released 265 00:13:56.919 --> 00:13:59.600 a while ago, of all his short films. I get 266 00:13:59.639 --> 00:14:03.759 my chill, learn to watch Buster Keaton. And in fact, 267 00:14:03.799 --> 00:14:06.039 my littlest one who's four, will say that she only 268 00:14:06.080 --> 00:14:12.759 likes four movies and it goes like Zoolander, not Zoolander, Zootopia, Wicked, 269 00:14:14.240 --> 00:14:16.279 I can't remember when when I went. And then she'll 270 00:14:16.279 --> 00:14:18.399 say in Buster Keaton. So she and I watched a 271 00:14:18.399 --> 00:14:20.000 lot of Buster Keaton, but I will. 272 00:14:19.879 --> 00:14:21.600 Know who the younger kids are. I really wish she 273 00:14:21.720 --> 00:14:22.519 was saying zoo Lander. 274 00:14:22.639 --> 00:14:27.960 No, no, that's mistake. But I watched a whole bunch 275 00:14:27.960 --> 00:14:29.799 of these this week. Those are all really good. What 276 00:14:29.960 --> 00:14:32.159 if you never you can see one Week as a short. 277 00:14:32.360 --> 00:14:35.399 It's his first director short. It's great to really watched that. 278 00:14:35.960 --> 00:14:40.159 And then I watched work my way through this entire set. 279 00:14:40.519 --> 00:14:43.960 Uh this Jade said this, I don't like this movie 280 00:14:43.960 --> 00:14:48.039 at all, but this set is actually incredible. Like there's 281 00:14:48.080 --> 00:14:51.840 like if you want to work yourself through a movie 282 00:14:51.960 --> 00:14:54.639 and think completely about it, independent on whether or not, 283 00:14:54.679 --> 00:14:57.360 it's like a movie that you like. And one of 284 00:14:57.039 --> 00:14:59.720 the best sets I think in a long time they 285 00:14:59.799 --> 00:15:03.200 like works its way through a movie, Like you got 286 00:15:03.240 --> 00:15:06.200 to think about it from a production standpoint, from a 287 00:15:06.200 --> 00:15:11.320 cultural standpoint, it's really all there and it's really well done. 288 00:15:11.360 --> 00:15:12.720 So good job to you on that one. 289 00:15:13.720 --> 00:15:15.600 I mean, I wasn't going to call attention to it, 290 00:15:15.639 --> 00:15:18.600 but that doesn't mean a lot because obviously when a 291 00:15:18.639 --> 00:15:20.840 company like Vinegar Syndrome puts out a four Kids, everybody 292 00:15:20.840 --> 00:15:23.799 goes crazy over And then another company asked me to 293 00:15:23.840 --> 00:15:27.039 produce another release of that film. I'm like, okay, Like 294 00:15:27.360 --> 00:15:29.080 that's kind of tough because a lot of people already 295 00:15:29.080 --> 00:15:30.960 bought it. But I think there was still some stuff 296 00:15:30.960 --> 00:15:32.440 to mine there, and I think we pulled off some 297 00:15:32.480 --> 00:15:33.240 pretty cool things. 298 00:15:33.480 --> 00:15:37.000 Yeah, the visual essay that is in here? Who did it? 299 00:15:37.240 --> 00:15:38.679 That one is really good? 300 00:15:39.159 --> 00:15:42.960 Chris so Neil probably, yes, Yes, that one. 301 00:15:43.159 --> 00:15:46.919 His is really good. A Freaking's Enigma. Yeah, that one's 302 00:15:46.960 --> 00:15:47.440 really good. 303 00:15:48.279 --> 00:15:50.120 Yeah, Chris is great at what he does. And then 304 00:15:50.320 --> 00:15:53.200 Michelle's is really really good on that one too, She's 305 00:15:53.679 --> 00:15:54.399 very talented. 306 00:15:54.679 --> 00:15:56.279 I liked all that. I mean, I had seen the 307 00:15:56.360 --> 00:15:58.240 Kids stays in the picture, so I didn't watch that again, 308 00:15:58.279 --> 00:16:01.360 but actually seen that a few times. But it's cool 309 00:16:01.360 --> 00:16:04.279 it's in there. I don't know why but whatever, it's kind. 310 00:16:04.120 --> 00:16:05.799 Of crazy to get it as a bonus in there. 311 00:16:06.080 --> 00:16:09.440 It's like whatever, it doesn't change the value you get 312 00:16:09.480 --> 00:16:12.639 in the box. Like it's like, yeah, here's another cool documentary. 313 00:16:12.679 --> 00:16:15.840 Why not? And then I watched only half of this, 314 00:16:15.960 --> 00:16:18.360 But I mean, I've seen the movie a bunch of times, 315 00:16:18.639 --> 00:16:22.399 but I watched the noir edition so so good. Like 316 00:16:22.440 --> 00:16:24.759 when we do talk about Erotic Eller is like, if 317 00:16:24.759 --> 00:16:27.320 you actually want to talk about what's actually a great 318 00:16:27.440 --> 00:16:30.840 movie Erotic earlier, this is like the only this is 319 00:16:30.840 --> 00:16:33.440 the only real five star one. This is like the 320 00:16:33.480 --> 00:16:35.519 best of the best one. There are a few others, 321 00:16:35.519 --> 00:16:37.440 I think our five star that I'll talk about, but like, 322 00:16:38.159 --> 00:16:41.759 independent of like my own quirks, that Last Seduction is 323 00:16:41.879 --> 00:16:44.600 incredibly good, and it was only because of like sort 324 00:16:44.639 --> 00:16:47.559 of a weird quirk and the Oscar systems of the 325 00:16:47.600 --> 00:16:50.519 year that Linda Farentino didn't get a nomination and everybody 326 00:16:50.519 --> 00:16:53.159 else sort of like god shushed aside. But it's a 327 00:16:53.200 --> 00:16:55.039 great movie. It's a great movie, and it looks amazing. 328 00:16:55.879 --> 00:16:58.440 Yeah, I will agree, it definitely looks great. They did 329 00:16:58.559 --> 00:17:01.399 an incredible job on that rest duration. I'm happy for them. 330 00:17:02.039 --> 00:17:04.359 As far as what I watch this week, I will 331 00:17:04.359 --> 00:17:06.480 say it's been a very short, heavy week for me 332 00:17:06.559 --> 00:17:09.160 this week. And I just want to employ everybody if 333 00:17:09.200 --> 00:17:11.680 you ever get some downtime or you're like trying to, 334 00:17:11.759 --> 00:17:15.599 I don't know, switch through a short night and you're like, 335 00:17:15.680 --> 00:17:17.559 I've got eighty minutes and I could find an eighty 336 00:17:17.559 --> 00:17:20.119 minute movie, but I don't know what to watch. Literally, 337 00:17:20.240 --> 00:17:22.240 pull up YouTube, pull up some of your discs. Check 338 00:17:22.279 --> 00:17:24.640 out some shorts. There are so many really great short 339 00:17:24.680 --> 00:17:28.200 films that don't see much beyond festivals and then a 340 00:17:28.240 --> 00:17:31.119 lot of times they're thrown onto a disc and forgot about. 341 00:17:31.960 --> 00:17:34.279 Some of these filmmakers literally spend more time on some 342 00:17:34.319 --> 00:17:36.000 of these shorts just to get attention to be able 343 00:17:36.000 --> 00:17:39.039 to make a feature, and then they're they're left there. 344 00:17:39.119 --> 00:17:42.359 They're never like paid properly. They usually they sink a 345 00:17:42.359 --> 00:17:44.039 lot of money to some of these shorts and then 346 00:17:44.200 --> 00:17:49.119 never recover from that. So check out YouTube, check out Vimeo, 347 00:17:49.200 --> 00:17:51.599 check out some of these streaming services. All shout out 348 00:17:51.880 --> 00:17:54.640 not one of my favorite streaming services because I don't 349 00:17:54.640 --> 00:17:56.599 really go to them all that often, but. 350 00:17:58.079 --> 00:17:59.480 I cant knaf my head set out. 351 00:18:00.200 --> 00:18:03.319 But I will say check out bloodstream TV. They've got 352 00:18:03.319 --> 00:18:06.440 some collections of short films from filmmakers that are just 353 00:18:06.720 --> 00:18:09.279 really eclectic and not something that you would expect to see. 354 00:18:09.680 --> 00:18:12.440 They've got some great stuff going on over there, So yeah, 355 00:18:12.799 --> 00:18:15.000 give them a shout out, some attention if you've ever 356 00:18:15.039 --> 00:18:19.400 considered that. Before we go into other stuff, let's talk 357 00:18:19.400 --> 00:18:22.720 about sound, because obviously tonight we're talking about LaserDisc. You 358 00:18:22.920 --> 00:18:28.200 are professional in lots of different ways surrounding sound. What 359 00:18:28.599 --> 00:18:29.799 do you do for sound? 360 00:18:30.640 --> 00:18:33.759 Yeah, I'm a production sound mixer in New York City, 361 00:18:33.799 --> 00:18:38.480 so I work on movies and TV shows and anything 362 00:18:38.519 --> 00:18:41.319 in between. I've done sound for almost anything that you 363 00:18:41.359 --> 00:18:45.400 can think of, very very very little theater but a 364 00:18:45.400 --> 00:18:48.000 little bit, but basically any and everything that deals with 365 00:18:48.039 --> 00:18:54.759 sound for entertainment I've done at some point. Yeah, So 366 00:18:55.119 --> 00:18:58.160 anything related to sound and entertainment I can talk about 367 00:18:58.559 --> 00:18:59.000 I've done. 368 00:18:59.640 --> 00:19:02.079 What are What are some of the bigger movies or 369 00:19:02.119 --> 00:19:04.200 TV shows people might recognize that you've worked on. 370 00:19:05.640 --> 00:19:08.640 I was a production mixer for Severance the season one 371 00:19:09.480 --> 00:19:12.680 which was on Apple TV. We got a CIS Award 372 00:19:12.759 --> 00:19:16.599 nomination for that. I did this movie called The Secret 373 00:19:16.640 --> 00:19:20.160 Life of Walter Midti, The Amazing Spider Man two. I 374 00:19:20.279 --> 00:19:25.240 was the stunt unit mixer on, which is amazing. You know, 375 00:19:25.279 --> 00:19:27.880 I worked on a lot of reality TV shows, so 376 00:19:27.960 --> 00:19:30.880 I was a sound supervisor for Ink Master and Worst 377 00:19:30.880 --> 00:19:34.079 Cooks in America, and there's this the first season of 378 00:19:34.119 --> 00:19:36.920 Love and Hip Hop, I supervised and got that started 379 00:19:38.160 --> 00:19:40.480 Real Housewives in New Jersey back in the day. I 380 00:19:40.519 --> 00:19:43.880 supervised that. In fact, all of Bravo. If you or 381 00:19:43.960 --> 00:19:46.759 your loved ones like Bravo or you wish that they didn't. 382 00:19:47.119 --> 00:19:49.440 The reason why Bravo is sort of done the way 383 00:19:49.480 --> 00:19:52.759 it is is because in season three of Housewives in 384 00:19:52.799 --> 00:19:55.680 New York no I'm sorry of New Jersey, I sort 385 00:19:55.680 --> 00:19:58.519 of like introduced how you can multi track and do 386 00:19:58.640 --> 00:20:02.079 large cast events to them and that sort of I 387 00:20:02.079 --> 00:20:03.680 had to prove that it was doable to them before 388 00:20:03.680 --> 00:20:05.440 they would even sign off on it. We had just 389 00:20:05.480 --> 00:20:06.799 sort of done a version of it on Love and 390 00:20:06.839 --> 00:20:09.559 Hip Hop, but I proved that we could do it, 391 00:20:09.960 --> 00:20:11.160 and then, as far as I know, it was the 392 00:20:11.240 --> 00:20:14.680 first Bravo show that did live like in the field 393 00:20:14.759 --> 00:20:18.119 multi tracking. And now it's just like how every show. 394 00:20:17.920 --> 00:20:18.759 Is done standard. 395 00:20:18.920 --> 00:20:20.799 It's just the standard. But that's a lot. I mean 396 00:20:20.799 --> 00:20:23.519 that's a long time agoes twelve twelve years ago. 397 00:20:24.400 --> 00:20:25.759 Well, and I don't know how much you wanted to 398 00:20:25.759 --> 00:20:28.000 talk about it, but you've met miss Drew Barry Moore 399 00:20:28.000 --> 00:20:28.640 a few times. 400 00:20:28.839 --> 00:20:30.559 Oh yeah, I work on the right now. I'm the 401 00:20:31.960 --> 00:20:34.480 main thing I don't. I don't do as much anymore. 402 00:20:34.480 --> 00:20:37.079 I have two children and a busy partner, so like, 403 00:20:38.200 --> 00:20:40.119 I try to do a lot less, but I do 404 00:20:40.200 --> 00:20:43.319 still work on the Drew Barrymore Show as the I 405 00:20:43.440 --> 00:20:46.559 do the field pieces, so whenever they're not in the studio, 406 00:20:46.599 --> 00:20:50.000 I go out with them. We just went to Tennessee 407 00:20:50.200 --> 00:20:52.920 last week two weeks ago for a little thing we'll 408 00:20:52.960 --> 00:20:55.559 not actually air till next season. But yeah, so I 409 00:20:55.640 --> 00:20:57.720 worked with her. Whenever I see Drew, she gives me 410 00:20:57.759 --> 00:21:00.799 a hive. Hi, give me a hug, ask me how 411 00:21:00.839 --> 00:21:03.680 my wife's doing. So she's very nice, She's you know, 412 00:21:04.119 --> 00:21:04.920 she's cool. 413 00:21:05.519 --> 00:21:07.400 Ronnie's bringing up that you just did that my mom 414 00:21:07.519 --> 00:21:09.559 Jane Duck did my mom? 415 00:21:09.640 --> 00:21:12.240 Jane? Yeah, and I did. I'd done a lot of 416 00:21:12.279 --> 00:21:14.960 movies with this guy, Marshall Curry, who is a really 417 00:21:15.039 --> 00:21:18.160 good documentary filmmaker. On Netflix right now, they have The 418 00:21:18.160 --> 00:21:21.079 New Yorker at fifty we did that. It was a 419 00:21:21.119 --> 00:21:24.000 really good underseen one called street Fight. I didn't do that. 420 00:21:24.000 --> 00:21:26.720 He did that by himself. But then after street Fight 421 00:21:27.160 --> 00:21:30.400 he did Racing Dreams. It's about kids of race go karts. 422 00:21:31.599 --> 00:21:33.920 I think the DVD's dirt cheap, but it's a really 423 00:21:33.960 --> 00:21:36.799 really good movie. It's like almost twenty years old now, 424 00:21:36.839 --> 00:21:38.400 but I really like making that one. 425 00:21:39.319 --> 00:21:42.039 That's I think that one is streaming in a couple 426 00:21:42.039 --> 00:21:43.960 of places because I was just looking at that one. 427 00:21:44.039 --> 00:21:45.119 Yes, okay, fair enough. 428 00:21:46.480 --> 00:21:49.200 So lots of sound stuff if anybody has any questions 429 00:21:49.240 --> 00:21:51.839 about Sand for Brian, But one of the big things 430 00:21:52.000 --> 00:21:53.759 is you've got a couple of things that you can 431 00:21:53.799 --> 00:21:55.960 show us about Sand because you've got your sound rather 432 00:21:56.119 --> 00:21:58.119 through a mixer. Is that gonna work tonight? 433 00:21:58.799 --> 00:22:01.160 Yeah? I think it was just a codec from the theater. 434 00:22:01.200 --> 00:22:02.920 I have a really old computer. That's why I think 435 00:22:02.920 --> 00:22:06.039 it was causing the problem. But yeah, so, like you know, 436 00:22:06.240 --> 00:22:08.599 I don't I can't hear myself, which is probably good, 437 00:22:08.599 --> 00:22:11.279 so I'm assuming and hoping it sounds good to everybody. 438 00:22:11.519 --> 00:22:13.759 But this this is how you would do a sound 439 00:22:13.839 --> 00:22:16.680 for an interview. So for the people watching on a stream, 440 00:22:16.680 --> 00:22:19.160 that's the microphone, and I made it so it's just 441 00:22:19.279 --> 00:22:22.559 out of frame and boom. So that's like if you 442 00:22:22.599 --> 00:22:24.720 were doing it documentary where you had a bunch of 443 00:22:24.759 --> 00:22:27.160 sit down interviews, this is how you would mic it. 444 00:22:27.200 --> 00:22:29.039 And this is more or less what it should sound like, 445 00:22:29.200 --> 00:22:31.720 I'm assuming. And then you're like, well, what's the difference 446 00:22:31.759 --> 00:22:33.720 between that and a camera mic. Well, camera MIC's gonna 447 00:22:33.759 --> 00:22:37.480 sound like this. So here's a mic that's about the 448 00:22:37.519 --> 00:22:39.960 distance that the camera would be. It's still pointed at me. 449 00:22:39.960 --> 00:22:42.519 It's still a pretty decent mic, but it's gonna sound 450 00:22:42.519 --> 00:22:45.000 a lot more open. It's gonna sound a bit more airy. 451 00:22:45.680 --> 00:22:48.519 It's also a shotgun mic versus this cardioid mic, so 452 00:22:48.559 --> 00:22:50.480 that might have a little bit of different sound. Again, 453 00:22:50.480 --> 00:22:52.160 I'm not one hundred percent sure what this stream is 454 00:22:52.200 --> 00:22:53.960 going to do to it. And then you say like, 455 00:22:54.119 --> 00:22:55.880 you know, well, what about if I have a love 456 00:22:55.960 --> 00:22:57.839 mic on? Well, I actually do. I wearing a love 457 00:22:57.880 --> 00:23:01.640 mic right now. And then there's the lav mic. So 458 00:23:01.759 --> 00:23:03.880 if you're like, what does the lave mic sound like? 459 00:23:03.920 --> 00:23:06.000 This is what a love is like. And it's you know, 460 00:23:06.160 --> 00:23:08.240 I'm hidden under my clothing so you can't see it. 461 00:23:08.640 --> 00:23:12.200 I don't, and it's like a smaller diaphragm. It doesn't 462 00:23:12.240 --> 00:23:14.400 really have quite the same fullness. A lot of people 463 00:23:14.400 --> 00:23:17.880 would say, also, you you lose any sense of space. 464 00:23:18.599 --> 00:23:20.279 And you know, a lot of times when I'm making 465 00:23:20.279 --> 00:23:23.200 a documentary, especially like a Talking Heads one, you say 466 00:23:23.440 --> 00:23:26.039 you want it to sound important and fall and big 467 00:23:26.279 --> 00:23:28.559 and like you're in the room with them, and so yeah, 468 00:23:28.599 --> 00:23:30.599 sure we can use the lave. But I think this 469 00:23:30.759 --> 00:23:34.400 mic sounds a lot like more like I'm actually in 470 00:23:34.440 --> 00:23:38.079 the room with you. It sounds a bigger, fuller more 471 00:23:38.960 --> 00:23:42.119 I call someone called the NPR feel to it, and 472 00:23:42.200 --> 00:23:44.480 so like a whole thing is considered, this is the 473 00:23:44.519 --> 00:23:48.039 mic I want to use. So that sounds like a 474 00:23:48.039 --> 00:23:48.920 simple demonstration. 475 00:23:51.880 --> 00:23:56.240 Some good comments, Yeah, people noticing lots of differences. Yeah, 476 00:23:56.559 --> 00:23:59.359 it's it's a very interesting thing. Patty Boy wants and 477 00:23:59.359 --> 00:24:01.000 knows a sound good. How do you feel about Robert 478 00:24:01.039 --> 00:24:01.680 Altman movies? 479 00:24:01.960 --> 00:24:04.920 I really like Robert Alman movies. I there's not that 480 00:24:05.000 --> 00:24:08.559 many books classically written about like sound mixers and sound 481 00:24:08.640 --> 00:24:12.240 mixer techniques, because you know, more or less, it's like 482 00:24:12.240 --> 00:24:15.119 a technical profession. It's not it's not something that's like 483 00:24:15.200 --> 00:24:18.000 super fascinating unless you're really doing it. But there is 484 00:24:18.039 --> 00:24:20.440 a book that was written on a history of sound 485 00:24:21.200 --> 00:24:24.240 and sound mixers, and it plays over a lot of 486 00:24:24.240 --> 00:24:26.200 stuff and then they get to Altman and sort of 487 00:24:26.200 --> 00:24:28.640 in a sense, what he's doing, especially in things like Nashville, 488 00:24:28.720 --> 00:24:32.799 is crazy. Like you know, they had a truck that 489 00:24:32.880 --> 00:24:35.119 came in to do the twenty four tracks. It's on tape, 490 00:24:35.440 --> 00:24:37.960 so you know, they can only do I think at 491 00:24:37.960 --> 00:24:40.200 the time it's like twelve minutes, which is pretty similar 492 00:24:40.279 --> 00:24:43.000 to a mag but they're having to change. It's huge, 493 00:24:43.319 --> 00:24:45.640 giant and they would have a team of about I 494 00:24:45.640 --> 00:24:50.440 think nine people for Nashville, and yeah, they're really cool. 495 00:24:50.519 --> 00:24:53.200 What he did was amazing. That's a fun fact. I 496 00:24:53.279 --> 00:24:54.839 used to work at a rental house for a while 497 00:24:54.839 --> 00:24:57.200 in New York City and the last job we prepped 498 00:24:57.319 --> 00:25:01.160 was I prepped for them with them was Prairie Home Companion, 499 00:25:01.839 --> 00:25:04.200 and we did a sort of a version of that. 500 00:25:04.319 --> 00:25:06.799 We did forty eight tracks, and we sent it out 501 00:25:06.799 --> 00:25:10.960 to Minnesota, and uh, it was on disc like DVD discs, 502 00:25:11.200 --> 00:25:13.480 so you could only get about forty four minutes a disc, 503 00:25:13.960 --> 00:25:15.839 and it was like eight tracks, So there was what 504 00:25:16.799 --> 00:25:20.039 six of those stacked up, and so I bring it 505 00:25:20.079 --> 00:25:23.559 out there and we're installing it. The band played a lot, 506 00:25:23.599 --> 00:25:26.000 as far as I know, like they're supposed to hopefully happened, 507 00:25:26.039 --> 00:25:28.680 but the band played live the whole time. So all 508 00:25:28.720 --> 00:25:31.759 the music and everything, it's all done live. Everything done live. 509 00:25:32.240 --> 00:25:34.200 And I'm setting it up and we're like running through 510 00:25:34.240 --> 00:25:37.480 it and there showing the sound mixer and people are 511 00:25:37.519 --> 00:25:39.720 milling about, and I was like, it is, you know, 512 00:25:39.759 --> 00:25:42.319 as Altman here today, and they're like, oh no, he's 513 00:25:42.319 --> 00:25:44.680 not in today. We have his stand by, you know, 514 00:25:44.960 --> 00:25:47.039 if you have any questions. And I look over and 515 00:25:47.039 --> 00:25:52.200 I was like, stand by pt Anderson. And then indeed pt. 516 00:25:52.279 --> 00:25:55.640 Anderson had been hired as the DGA trainee as like 517 00:25:55.680 --> 00:25:57.680 the standby, because the studio was worried that all one 518 00:25:57.759 --> 00:25:59.880 was gonna die, and so if Almond died, he would 519 00:25:59.920 --> 00:26:04.559 have come in and finish the movie. Jeez. So I 520 00:26:04.599 --> 00:26:06.119 have a picture. Actually, about a year or so later, 521 00:26:06.160 --> 00:26:09.559 I met Altman at a Harry Belafonte benefit and took 522 00:26:09.599 --> 00:26:11.720 my stuff off and took a picture with him, which 523 00:26:11.720 --> 00:26:14.480 I almost never do. Very old Robert Altman in a 524 00:26:14.559 --> 00:26:18.359 very young me. Uh, I don't know, but I do 525 00:26:18.440 --> 00:26:19.359 like Almond Movies a lot. 526 00:26:19.440 --> 00:26:22.759 Yeah, that was what seventeen eighteen years ago something like that. 527 00:26:24.200 --> 00:26:27.599 I actually don't really know it. It was longer because. 528 00:26:27.359 --> 00:26:28.559 I slightly longer. 529 00:26:28.640 --> 00:26:31.480 Yeah, this is gonna be my twenty third I don't 530 00:26:31.559 --> 00:26:34.440 think I finished twenty three years of doing this in August, 531 00:26:34.480 --> 00:26:38.200 so probably about twenty two years ago. Jeez, twenty three 532 00:26:38.240 --> 00:26:38.640 years ago. 533 00:26:39.240 --> 00:26:40.039 Oh all then? 534 00:26:40.559 --> 00:26:42.640 Yeah, oh when I met when I met him, when 535 00:26:42.640 --> 00:26:43.960 I met him for few year after, but very home 536 00:26:43.960 --> 00:26:45.839 companion was Yeah, twenty two, twenty three years ago. 537 00:26:46.839 --> 00:26:50.279 That's wild. So what was Uh? I don't think we've 538 00:26:50.279 --> 00:26:52.839 talked about that. What is your actual like first big 539 00:26:52.880 --> 00:26:57.599 studio sound gig that you got. 540 00:26:56.960 --> 00:26:58.000 Studio sound gig? 541 00:26:58.480 --> 00:27:04.759 Yeah, that tough question. 542 00:27:05.000 --> 00:27:07.039 I don't really The funny thing is I don't really 543 00:27:07.119 --> 00:27:10.400 know slash from I mean I did. I think it's 544 00:27:10.440 --> 00:27:13.680 probably the first. Well I did some days on that 545 00:27:13.799 --> 00:27:16.559 Sandra Bullock nine to eleven movie. Uh, do you know 546 00:27:16.599 --> 00:27:17.359 what I'm talking about? 547 00:27:18.079 --> 00:27:19.720 I remember it. I'm not gonna remember the time. 548 00:27:19.759 --> 00:27:20.839 I don't remember it's called either. 549 00:27:21.000 --> 00:27:22.680 So I did say the only nine to eleven movie 550 00:27:22.720 --> 00:27:25.559 I remember is right over me, fair. 551 00:27:25.480 --> 00:27:27.799 Enough whatever that if somebody in the Channel Now. But 552 00:27:27.839 --> 00:27:31.599 the Sandra Bullock Maximum Side Out nine to eleven movie. 553 00:27:31.920 --> 00:27:34.039 I had just gotten in the Union when they were 554 00:27:34.079 --> 00:27:38.519 making that and the guy, so when I was working 555 00:27:38.519 --> 00:27:42.079 at the rental house was the moment when like everything 556 00:27:42.119 --> 00:27:46.079 went from DAT tapes and analog tapes to digital multi tracking. 557 00:27:46.400 --> 00:27:49.559 So basically every mixer and their brother came in and 558 00:27:49.599 --> 00:27:51.200 I would sit down with them and talk to them 559 00:27:51.200 --> 00:27:53.200 about like what does this mean, what does this do? 560 00:27:53.279 --> 00:27:55.519 Blah blah blah blah blah. So when I left, I 561 00:27:55.599 --> 00:27:58.200 knew a lot of people, but I wasn't necessarily like 562 00:27:58.440 --> 00:28:00.000 I wasn't in the Union. No one was gonna high 563 00:28:00.119 --> 00:28:03.519 me street out of a rental house. But like I 564 00:28:03.599 --> 00:28:05.559 think it was maybe six seven years later when I 565 00:28:05.599 --> 00:28:08.160 got in the Union, I let some people know. And 566 00:28:08.200 --> 00:28:10.400 then the guy who ended up being my mentor, he 567 00:28:10.440 --> 00:28:12.720 was like, oh, come in for a week and work 568 00:28:12.720 --> 00:28:14.960 on a Sandra Bullock movie with me, and I was like, sure, 569 00:28:15.000 --> 00:28:18.680 no problem. So I get there and that was the 570 00:28:18.680 --> 00:28:20.640 first time I really worked with him, and it was fun. 571 00:28:20.720 --> 00:28:22.920 It was you know, interesting, He did a really good job, 572 00:28:23.480 --> 00:28:25.240 and you know, I did the week or whatever, and 573 00:28:25.240 --> 00:28:27.680 then I didn't hear from him for a while, maybe 574 00:28:27.759 --> 00:28:30.440 a year or two years, and he called me up 575 00:28:30.519 --> 00:28:33.400 and he's like, I'm going to go do a Secret 576 00:28:33.400 --> 00:28:35.960 Life of Waltermitty and Iceland and I need to take 577 00:28:36.000 --> 00:28:37.839 my cart and put it on a boat. And I'd 578 00:28:37.880 --> 00:28:40.160 been designing systems for lots of things for a long time, 579 00:28:40.200 --> 00:28:42.559 and I said okay, And so I would drive up 580 00:28:42.599 --> 00:28:45.200 every morning and you know, take his car depart and 581 00:28:45.240 --> 00:28:47.200 look through it and like kind of talk about like 582 00:28:47.359 --> 00:28:49.240 how we're going to break it into sections in order 583 00:28:49.279 --> 00:28:50.720 to put it on a boat. Then he had a 584 00:28:50.759 --> 00:28:52.359 lot of things he wanted to do too, so like 585 00:28:53.039 --> 00:28:55.079 it wasn't all my ideas, but just worked with him 586 00:28:55.119 --> 00:28:57.960 and eventually we like got his cart so it could 587 00:28:57.960 --> 00:28:59.960 break into three pieces and if we needed to week 588 00:29:00.079 --> 00:29:03.319 put on a boat. And then like a week into 589 00:29:03.319 --> 00:29:05.799 doing that, he's like, you know, why don't you just 590 00:29:05.799 --> 00:29:07.359 come to Iceland with me and do the movie. And 591 00:29:07.400 --> 00:29:09.799 I was like okay, So I was like sure, I'll come, 592 00:29:10.319 --> 00:29:13.200 and then yeah, then I went and did Walter Median. 593 00:29:14.319 --> 00:29:16.359 I only mixed the end, but I also did a 594 00:29:16.400 --> 00:29:18.519 lot of sound effects gathering, but he had to leave 595 00:29:18.559 --> 00:29:19.839 at the very end. I did like the last two 596 00:29:19.880 --> 00:29:22.359 or three days but I was the assistant, and most 597 00:29:22.359 --> 00:29:24.319 of the time on the studio movies, I was the assistant. 598 00:29:24.759 --> 00:29:28.079 I've only mixed a couple of bigger studio movies. 599 00:29:28.599 --> 00:29:32.599 Yeah. Interesting, I'm kind of curious about everybody in laser discs. 600 00:29:32.599 --> 00:29:34.960 So we put up a little pole. Do any of 601 00:29:34.960 --> 00:29:37.279 you have laser discs in your collection? Answer that question 602 00:29:37.319 --> 00:29:39.279 there in the chat. Love to hear about it. So 603 00:29:39.359 --> 00:29:42.960 laser discs, when did you start, Like, were you collecting 604 00:29:43.039 --> 00:29:45.279 back when they were No? 605 00:29:45.319 --> 00:29:47.519 I no, I didn't have any of that when I 606 00:29:47.559 --> 00:29:49.799 was a kid. But so I went to NYU for 607 00:29:49.839 --> 00:29:53.359 film school and the library used to have this cool 608 00:29:53.400 --> 00:29:56.160 thing where you could request a movie and they sort 609 00:29:56.160 --> 00:29:57.920 of like would play it in some random thing and 610 00:29:57.960 --> 00:29:59.680 you go and you put headphones on it would come on. 611 00:30:00.039 --> 00:30:02.920 But they had a ton of laser discs, and I 612 00:30:02.960 --> 00:30:06.599 had known that there were things like a commentary by 613 00:30:06.640 --> 00:30:10.359 Scorsese on Taxi Driver there wasn't anywhere else, and some 614 00:30:10.400 --> 00:30:12.799 Bond commentaries and stuff. So I would like put some 615 00:30:12.839 --> 00:30:16.200 of these on them, listen to the commentaries, because you know, 616 00:30:16.240 --> 00:30:18.960 I came to film really late. So when I first 617 00:30:19.039 --> 00:30:21.799 came to film, I sort of just started buying the 618 00:30:21.799 --> 00:30:25.799 Criterion DVDs. I was like a baseball umpire and there 619 00:30:25.839 --> 00:30:27.920 was a Borders bookstore, and not being Barnes and Noble, 620 00:30:27.960 --> 00:30:30.960 but Borders you can get like coupons. There'd be big discounts. 621 00:30:31.079 --> 00:30:34.240 So I basically have the first hundred Criterion DVDs that 622 00:30:34.279 --> 00:30:36.599 I bought as they came out. And that was like 623 00:30:36.640 --> 00:30:40.119 my pre film school film school, and so I just 624 00:30:40.400 --> 00:30:42.720 heard about some of these laser disks and whatnot. So whatever, 625 00:30:42.759 --> 00:30:44.799 I'm at NYU, and at one point they were like, 626 00:30:45.480 --> 00:30:47.359 we're gonna throw a lot of this away, and I 627 00:30:47.400 --> 00:30:49.720 was like what. So I took a whole bunch of them, 628 00:30:49.880 --> 00:30:51.640 and I was like, oh, this is cool. And then 629 00:30:51.640 --> 00:30:53.960 I started looking on Craigslist and it was a big 630 00:30:54.039 --> 00:30:55.680 change of this is like two thousand and two, two 631 00:30:55.720 --> 00:30:57.960 thousand and three, everybody was getting ready of their laser 632 00:30:57.960 --> 00:31:01.079 discs and they wanted DVDs. So I bought a little 633 00:31:01.079 --> 00:31:04.559 red wagon and I would like bring this wagon wherever 634 00:31:04.640 --> 00:31:07.119 I needed to or wherever I could, and I'd buy 635 00:31:07.119 --> 00:31:09.599 a laser disc for like fifty cents to a dollar apiece, 636 00:31:09.640 --> 00:31:12.119 sometimes less, and I'd haul them back to my place 637 00:31:12.160 --> 00:31:14.880 in Brooklyn, and you know, convinced my friends at they're cool, 638 00:31:15.240 --> 00:31:17.559 and I had like and I'd like a thousand and 639 00:31:17.640 --> 00:31:20.720 a half two thousand of them. And then at one 640 00:31:20.720 --> 00:31:25.000 point and the woman I was with for a long 641 00:31:25.000 --> 00:31:28.000 time and we broke up, and I was like, forget 642 00:31:28.000 --> 00:31:30.000 these laser discs, and I like got rid of almost 643 00:31:30.039 --> 00:31:31.759 all of them. I they had like two hundred left. 644 00:31:32.319 --> 00:31:35.039 And then when my older daughter was around four, this 645 00:31:35.160 --> 00:31:37.720 is like a year before the pandemic, I was like, 646 00:31:37.960 --> 00:31:40.359 I want to show where some movies because I actually 647 00:31:40.359 --> 00:31:42.480 took a real huge break from watching movies. I saw 648 00:31:42.839 --> 00:31:48.440 almost nothing from two thousand and seven to two thousand 649 00:31:48.519 --> 00:31:52.799 and seventeen, like almost nothing. I was just working, so 650 00:31:53.079 --> 00:31:57.519 I saw nothing. I watched nothing. So I was like, oh, 651 00:31:57.559 --> 00:31:59.079 I want to show her some movies, and especially I 652 00:31:59.119 --> 00:32:00.279 was like I want to show with the Line King. 653 00:32:00.319 --> 00:32:02.200 But we didn't have any streaming services and I was like, 654 00:32:02.240 --> 00:32:03.920 I don't want to hear this crap. So I was like, 655 00:32:03.960 --> 00:32:05.839 I saw my laser discp play, Oh, buy a copy 656 00:32:05.880 --> 00:32:07.599 of The Lion King. So I bought a copy of 657 00:32:07.599 --> 00:32:09.400 The Lion King and then it just kind of snowballed. 658 00:32:09.880 --> 00:32:13.200 And then when the pandemic happened, It was crazy first 659 00:32:13.200 --> 00:32:15.160 of all, like I didn't have anything to do at all, 660 00:32:15.240 --> 00:32:17.960 Like my job was just gone. But I was doing 661 00:32:17.960 --> 00:32:21.880 a Warner Brothers pilot, so I got a very very generous, 662 00:32:21.920 --> 00:32:25.839 like almost too generous severance from Warner Brothers for a while. 663 00:32:26.319 --> 00:32:28.400 And my wife was still working and I had Maddie, 664 00:32:28.400 --> 00:32:30.559 so I was like, I do anything do? So I 665 00:32:30.599 --> 00:32:33.359 started looking at Facebook, Marketplace and Craigslist and people were 666 00:32:33.400 --> 00:32:35.640 cleaning out their stuff and getting really lasers. So I 667 00:32:35.799 --> 00:32:40.720 drove from New Hampshire all the way past Baltimore wherever 668 00:32:40.799 --> 00:32:43.160 I could, all the time, just picking up huge amounts 669 00:32:43.200 --> 00:32:45.119 of laser discs. And at first I thought it was 670 00:32:45.119 --> 00:32:48.000 just kind of fun and it was interesting. And then 671 00:32:48.039 --> 00:32:50.480 it was a huge lot near where you live, and 672 00:32:50.519 --> 00:32:52.400 I sent my brother to it and he went and 673 00:32:52.480 --> 00:32:54.359 bought it, and I was like, I want you to 674 00:32:54.359 --> 00:32:56.039 send me these twenty and you can sell the rest 675 00:32:56.039 --> 00:32:57.599 if you want. And then he looked it up on 676 00:32:57.599 --> 00:33:00.119 eBay and he was like what because he paid like 677 00:33:00.119 --> 00:33:01.640 three hundred dollars for I think he sold that for 678 00:33:01.680 --> 00:33:06.000 like seven grand jeez, and and he was like, oh shit, 679 00:33:06.079 --> 00:33:08.279 this is great. So yeah, so I would just give 680 00:33:08.319 --> 00:33:10.200 them to my brother who runs a big eBay store, 681 00:33:10.240 --> 00:33:12.920 and anything I didn't want I would sell, and I 682 00:33:12.960 --> 00:33:16.200 just kept buying more and more. Hey, it was a 683 00:33:16.240 --> 00:33:18.400 little bit of a problem. And then one day, like 684 00:33:19.680 --> 00:33:22.480 one day I was just again on them on Facebook 685 00:33:22.559 --> 00:33:26.039 or something, I think on Facebook, I saw somebody say, Hey, 686 00:33:26.799 --> 00:33:29.599 anybody like laserdist My dad just passed away and he 687 00:33:29.680 --> 00:33:32.640 had a laserdist rental store. And I said, I do 688 00:33:32.799 --> 00:33:35.160 like laser discs. I'm clearly they have a rental store. 689 00:33:35.240 --> 00:33:37.000 I'll buy it from you. And he goes, there's only 690 00:33:37.039 --> 00:33:38.680 one problem. I was like, what it's like, I'm in 691 00:33:39.000 --> 00:33:41.359 I'm in Indonesia, and I was like, that's not a problem. 692 00:33:41.440 --> 00:33:44.960 Ship it over. So I bought the entire Indonesian a 693 00:33:45.079 --> 00:33:48.359 laserdisk store. And it took me a year and a half, 694 00:33:48.599 --> 00:33:50.319 almost two years to go through it all because it 695 00:33:50.319 --> 00:33:54.000 was a mess. But shit, it's just like I had 696 00:33:54.079 --> 00:33:55.960 been kind of interested in Hong Kong movies and I 697 00:33:56.079 --> 00:33:57.839 kind of knew what he had, but not exactly, and 698 00:33:57.839 --> 00:33:59.599 I was just like, let's just see what it is. 699 00:34:00.079 --> 00:34:02.880 And so I didn't know most of what was coming. 700 00:34:03.039 --> 00:34:04.920 In fact, most of it wasn't even in the database 701 00:34:04.960 --> 00:34:06.720 I had to look it up and figure it out 702 00:34:06.759 --> 00:34:09.400 and try to go through the whole thing, and just 703 00:34:09.639 --> 00:34:12.519 tons of things that just don't exist outside of this, 704 00:34:12.760 --> 00:34:15.559 and I just thought it was this interesting little rabbit hole, 705 00:34:15.599 --> 00:34:18.000 and I just started exploring it more and more. And 706 00:34:18.039 --> 00:34:20.719 so that's sort of how happened. And I don't buy 707 00:34:20.760 --> 00:34:23.840 so much anymore for plethora of reasons. One, I'm a 708 00:34:23.880 --> 00:34:27.960 little busier. Two is, you know, the cheap deals are 709 00:34:27.960 --> 00:34:30.239 sort of gone, and there's a handful of people that 710 00:34:30.519 --> 00:34:32.440 snap them all up in the area now and I 711 00:34:32.480 --> 00:34:35.119 don't have like the drop it out diamond drive somewhere 712 00:34:35.119 --> 00:34:37.239 to get something. And also it's just a lot of 713 00:34:37.280 --> 00:34:39.119 work in My brother has a child now too, so 714 00:34:39.159 --> 00:34:41.199 it's like it is what it is. It sort of 715 00:34:41.199 --> 00:34:43.599 wound itself down. I do try to fill in holes 716 00:34:43.639 --> 00:34:45.360 a little bit now and then, but I don't really 717 00:34:45.360 --> 00:34:47.800 go after like buying a big collection of anything. 718 00:34:49.239 --> 00:34:51.760 Well, like I said, we'll have time for laser disc 719 00:34:51.760 --> 00:34:55.280 collection questions later. We're going to talk about a few things, 720 00:34:55.320 --> 00:34:58.920 like supplying laser disc cuts for physical meaty companies. We're 721 00:34:58.920 --> 00:35:01.559 going to talk about some of the more rare items. 722 00:35:01.599 --> 00:35:03.440 Of course, that's one of the more common questions that 723 00:35:03.760 --> 00:35:07.599 we hear a lot. But the cool thing as we 724 00:35:07.599 --> 00:35:09.480 talk about some of these announcements, we're going to talk 725 00:35:09.480 --> 00:35:14.119 about some of these and it's it's a lot funny enough. 726 00:35:14.159 --> 00:35:16.280 The first announcement that we're going to cover is going 727 00:35:16.320 --> 00:35:18.960 to be tied into some laser disc discussion. So let's 728 00:35:19.119 --> 00:35:20.519 talk about these announcements. 729 00:35:21.079 --> 00:35:21.320 First. 730 00:35:21.480 --> 00:35:25.559 Up coming from Imprint on June twenty fourth are all 731 00:35:25.599 --> 00:35:27.880 of these next slate that we're going to talk about. 732 00:35:28.280 --> 00:35:30.880 They are not available to pre order until May twelfth. 733 00:35:31.039 --> 00:35:33.639 This first one is Henry in June, and we are 734 00:35:33.679 --> 00:35:36.480 seeing a laser disc of Henry in June being held 735 00:35:36.559 --> 00:35:40.239 up by Brian already. Brian, why is this laser disc important? 736 00:35:40.320 --> 00:35:41.920 And why is this film important? 737 00:35:42.280 --> 00:35:44.360 I don't know if the laser disc is particularly important, 738 00:35:44.519 --> 00:35:48.039 but as a movie, this is the first movie that 739 00:35:48.119 --> 00:35:52.519 ever got released with the NC seventeen rating, So you know, 740 00:35:52.599 --> 00:35:55.000 if you want to do like a little Hollywood history, 741 00:35:55.320 --> 00:35:57.400 you know, the NC seventeen rating is sort of the 742 00:35:57.519 --> 00:36:02.199 NPA's reaction to the X and the X rating was 743 00:36:02.239 --> 00:36:06.039 started originally to sort of like shoehorn European cinema into 744 00:36:06.119 --> 00:36:08.559 a into an American audience and sort of let them 745 00:36:08.559 --> 00:36:11.360 know what it was, and then it sort of morphed 746 00:36:11.360 --> 00:36:15.599 over time to things like Midnight Cowboy and Last Tango 747 00:36:15.679 --> 00:36:18.159 in Paris, and then it morphed again into deep throat 748 00:36:18.239 --> 00:36:22.280 and hardcore, and you know, the hardcore companies they were 749 00:36:22.519 --> 00:36:24.760 basically took that one X rating and then you made 750 00:36:24.760 --> 00:36:28.159 a triple X. The MPa tried to sue and say, hey, 751 00:36:28.159 --> 00:36:30.960 you can't, you can't just steal a rating, and the company, 752 00:36:30.960 --> 00:36:32.760 the hardcore companies were like, yeah, we didn't. We made 753 00:36:32.760 --> 00:36:34.880 a triple X. You don't have a triple X rating. 754 00:36:35.280 --> 00:36:37.039 And so they were a little bit miffed about this 755 00:36:37.400 --> 00:36:38.920 for a number of reasons. I mean, one thing is 756 00:36:38.920 --> 00:36:41.280 you have to pay to get a rating, so not 757 00:36:41.360 --> 00:36:43.159 being able to submit and saying you've got a rating 758 00:36:43.159 --> 00:36:45.679 of triple X, you know, just sort of undercuts their 759 00:36:45.679 --> 00:36:52.159 whole arezoondetra scam, their whole scam. Yeah, so, like, you know, 760 00:36:52.400 --> 00:36:54.639 the X rating still actually continues all the way through 761 00:36:54.679 --> 00:36:57.320 the eighties, very little gets rated X, and then in 762 00:36:57.400 --> 00:37:02.559 nineteen eighty nine, actually things like The Matador when it 763 00:37:02.599 --> 00:37:05.480 gets released in the United States, it gets an X 764 00:37:05.559 --> 00:37:08.280 rating and they're like, what, that doesn't make any sense, 765 00:37:08.679 --> 00:37:11.360 and then a bunch of upstart like film producers, like 766 00:37:11.360 --> 00:37:14.360 this little guy, Harvey Weinstein. He brings in a movie, 767 00:37:16.079 --> 00:37:18.840 what is it, The Baker the Butcher. I'm like blanket on, 768 00:37:18.840 --> 00:37:21.199 I know the cook, the Baker, the Butcher, the. 769 00:37:21.119 --> 00:37:23.360 Baker, his wife and love. 770 00:37:23.480 --> 00:37:26.079 Yeah. So he brings in that Peter Greenway movie and 771 00:37:26.119 --> 00:37:30.159 it's like a combination of like stunt slash pr slash 772 00:37:30.199 --> 00:37:33.039 actually wanted to. He tries to like sue the MPAA 773 00:37:33.440 --> 00:37:35.880 and say that you can't give it an X rating 774 00:37:35.920 --> 00:37:40.079 because you're basically like you're basically like defaming my movie. 775 00:37:40.320 --> 00:37:42.000 The thing gets sort of thrown out of court, but 776 00:37:42.039 --> 00:37:44.440 the NPA kind of sees the writing on the wall. 777 00:37:44.840 --> 00:37:46.679 A few months later, they come up with this NC 778 00:37:46.880 --> 00:37:52.320 seventeen and Henry and June becomes their test case. And 779 00:37:52.519 --> 00:37:54.639 like two more things about Henry and June, Like, first 780 00:37:54.679 --> 00:37:57.679 of all, it's the follow up movie by Philip Kaufman 781 00:37:57.760 --> 00:38:00.239 who did The Unbearable Likeness of Being, which is a 782 00:38:00.360 --> 00:38:04.559 very good erotic movie, and he made Henry and June 783 00:38:04.599 --> 00:38:07.800 thinking it's like not gonna be as controversial as The 784 00:38:07.880 --> 00:38:10.280 Unbearable Likeness of Being, So he was a little bit 785 00:38:10.519 --> 00:38:14.280 surprised that it got the NC seventeen rating, and when 786 00:38:14.280 --> 00:38:17.119 it did get the rating, the NPA gave it the 787 00:38:17.199 --> 00:38:20.719 rating based on two qualifications. One it said it had 788 00:38:20.840 --> 00:38:26.440 five distinct scenes of lesbian sex, okay, And the other 789 00:38:26.519 --> 00:38:29.199 thing is it had a still image of a woman 790 00:38:29.280 --> 00:38:32.199 being pleased by an octopus. So those were the things 791 00:38:32.199 --> 00:38:33.920 that got at the NC seventeen rating. 792 00:38:34.679 --> 00:38:36.559 The third thing was fred Ward and. 793 00:38:36.559 --> 00:38:39.199 Fred Ward bald. Fred Ward is weird. But I did 794 00:38:39.280 --> 00:38:43.000 watch this movie this week and it's okay. I will say, like, 795 00:38:43.559 --> 00:38:47.679 there's not much. There's no drama or story in it. 796 00:38:47.679 --> 00:38:50.760 It's really like more or less just the awakening of 797 00:38:50.800 --> 00:38:53.639 Anie nin and has she sort of like comes to 798 00:38:53.760 --> 00:38:55.920 terms with who she is by sort of having a 799 00:38:55.920 --> 00:39:00.559 bunch of sexual escapades. But there's not a like in it. 800 00:39:00.599 --> 00:39:03.199 But she's not really naked in it. There's a lot 801 00:39:03.280 --> 00:39:05.559 of a lot of the sex scenes are actually like 802 00:39:06.039 --> 00:39:09.920 somewhat off put in. So the main couple, Aniss and 803 00:39:09.960 --> 00:39:13.079 her husband to go to a like bordello to watch 804 00:39:13.239 --> 00:39:15.840 two women have sex, but it ends up being more 805 00:39:15.880 --> 00:39:19.079 grotesque than anything that you could consider kind of erotic. 806 00:39:20.199 --> 00:39:22.960 It's a little it's very strange it's okay movie. That's 807 00:39:23.000 --> 00:39:26.760 one I would say, like anybody curious, this is worth watching, 808 00:39:26.800 --> 00:39:27.440 worth a pickup. 809 00:39:28.760 --> 00:39:32.039 Very interesting. Yeah, this is one that I see doing 810 00:39:32.119 --> 00:39:34.800 probably pretty well for them. This is going to have 811 00:39:34.840 --> 00:39:38.000 special features that they have not confirmed what those are yet, 812 00:39:38.039 --> 00:39:42.119 so check that out. Next one is Killer, a journal 813 00:39:42.199 --> 00:39:45.199 of murder from nineteen ninety five from Imprint. This is 814 00:39:45.239 --> 00:39:47.280 a first time on Blu ray anywhere in the world. 815 00:39:47.400 --> 00:39:49.840 This is going to have a new interview with James Woods. 816 00:39:50.039 --> 00:39:51.800 And look at that. We got a laser disc for 817 00:39:51.880 --> 00:39:54.440 that one too. This is crazy. I love it. 818 00:39:54.639 --> 00:40:00.920 Just happy I pulled them this week. So but finish, 819 00:40:00.960 --> 00:40:02.800 please finish, please finish. 820 00:40:02.840 --> 00:40:05.280 We've also got an interview with the director. We've got 821 00:40:05.360 --> 00:40:07.440 interview with the producer Janet Yang, interview with the author 822 00:40:07.519 --> 00:40:11.039 James Long. That's it as far as interviews, All brand 823 00:40:11.079 --> 00:40:13.800 new interviews though, including James Woods. But yeah, hit us 824 00:40:13.800 --> 00:40:14.559 with the laser disc. 825 00:40:14.800 --> 00:40:16.840 Well, you know what it doesn't have. It doesn't have 826 00:40:16.880 --> 00:40:20.480 a special audio commentary by the director, which is laser. 827 00:40:20.480 --> 00:40:23.000 Does stuck on the laser disc. 828 00:40:23.320 --> 00:40:25.280 So that's just kind of one interesting thing and I 829 00:40:25.320 --> 00:40:27.800 just wanted to point this out. So like not every 830 00:40:27.800 --> 00:40:30.440 movie is released all over the place. But you know, 831 00:40:30.519 --> 00:40:33.199 that's what it looks like released in the US, and 832 00:40:33.239 --> 00:40:35.719 this is really more or less a made for TV movie. 833 00:40:36.079 --> 00:40:38.280 That is I watched this today. It's more or less 834 00:40:38.280 --> 00:40:41.800 a made for TV movie that was good enough that 835 00:40:41.800 --> 00:40:44.679 they released it theatrically. This is by Spelling Film and 836 00:40:44.719 --> 00:40:48.840 Republic in the nineties. They're basically making stuff for TBSTNT, whatever. 837 00:40:49.360 --> 00:40:51.920 But they also released it in Japan, and look how 838 00:40:52.000 --> 00:40:56.400 different that looks. But if you think that's really weird, 839 00:40:57.159 --> 00:40:59.159 it's one of the weird, rare ones that got released 840 00:40:59.159 --> 00:41:03.280 in Indonesia. And that's how you know it's amaze for 841 00:41:03.320 --> 00:41:06.599 TV movie because most of these Indonesian releases are pre sold, 842 00:41:07.119 --> 00:41:09.800 so this was probably a pre sold item. So before 843 00:41:09.800 --> 00:41:12.159 they even made the movie, they sold home video rights 844 00:41:12.199 --> 00:41:14.800 to Indonesia and you could buy it on laser Just there. 845 00:41:17.719 --> 00:41:21.559 We just got three copies of Killer A Journal of 846 00:41:21.639 --> 00:41:24.760 Murder on laser disc on the show. That is incredible. 847 00:41:24.880 --> 00:41:27.320 So that's why sometimes I don't always know exactly what 848 00:41:27.360 --> 00:41:29.360 I'm getting. I just I mean, I know what I'm 849 00:41:29.360 --> 00:41:30.639 getting in a certain extent, but I don't know that 850 00:41:30.719 --> 00:41:33.119 movie until this week, and then I realized I had 851 00:41:33.119 --> 00:41:34.000 three versions of it. 852 00:41:35.639 --> 00:41:37.920 Let's see, Brendan is asking a question, but we're gonna 853 00:41:37.920 --> 00:41:39.840 talk about this later, just so you know. He says, 854 00:41:39.880 --> 00:41:41.360 I want to try a legitist, but I don't know 855 00:41:41.360 --> 00:41:44.119 where to find a player. Brian will help you in 856 00:41:44.199 --> 00:41:47.519 just a little while. For sure. Let's continue on with 857 00:41:47.519 --> 00:41:51.519 some of these announcements because Imprint they are put I mean, 858 00:41:51.559 --> 00:41:53.119 I know you and I are fans of Import, but 859 00:41:53.119 --> 00:41:55.639 they are putting out a ton of stuff lately. Their 860 00:41:55.679 --> 00:41:58.320 third announcement for this group again, first time on Blu 861 00:41:58.440 --> 00:42:01.519 Ray Anywhere in the World. Victor from nineteen ninety six, 862 00:42:02.079 --> 00:42:03.840 pretty great cast on this one. We got Willing to 863 00:42:03.880 --> 00:42:06.760 Foe Sam Neil Simon Callo. This is gonna have a 864 00:42:06.800 --> 00:42:09.519 new audio commentary by Michael Brook. We get a new 865 00:42:09.719 --> 00:42:12.039 new interview with Bill Paxon on this one, and that's 866 00:42:12.079 --> 00:42:14.280 gonna be it. But that's pretty damn great to get 867 00:42:14.280 --> 00:42:16.519 both of those on one disc together. You need to 868 00:42:16.519 --> 00:42:18.159 show us a Lasier disc for Victory. 869 00:42:18.079 --> 00:42:20.119 And didn't get released on Laser disc. But it that's 870 00:42:20.159 --> 00:42:23.679 not really interesting. I do think this one seems interesting. 871 00:42:23.760 --> 00:42:26.239 I also say for the Killer, I don't like that 872 00:42:26.320 --> 00:42:33.519 movie's like it's basically like a serial killer movie. But 873 00:42:33.800 --> 00:42:37.519 you know in the in real life he like raped 874 00:42:37.519 --> 00:42:40.119 like a thousand men, killed twenty one people. 875 00:42:40.679 --> 00:42:40.800 Uh. 876 00:42:40.960 --> 00:42:43.559 He went over to Africa as part of like like 877 00:42:43.639 --> 00:42:47.880 a like a mercenary in which he threw like six 878 00:42:49.039 --> 00:42:52.239 locals to crocodiles for fun. He also bought a twelve 879 00:42:52.320 --> 00:42:53.960 year old girl and an eight year old girl. But 880 00:42:54.039 --> 00:42:56.000 in the movie The Killer, they kind of try to 881 00:42:56.000 --> 00:42:57.760 make him a bit of a hero, and so you 882 00:42:57.840 --> 00:43:00.280 get sort of like James Wood's like spouting a lot 883 00:43:00.320 --> 00:43:01.000 of nonsense. 884 00:43:02.639 --> 00:43:04.119 So you do it. 885 00:43:04.280 --> 00:43:06.840 Yeah, I would not suggest I would not suggest that one, 886 00:43:06.960 --> 00:43:08.119 but this one looks great. 887 00:43:09.119 --> 00:43:11.679 I will say. One thing is when I saw this cover, obviously, 888 00:43:11.800 --> 00:43:13.719 like when you zoom in and really pay attention, it 889 00:43:13.760 --> 00:43:15.840 looks a lot like Willem Dafoe. This to me looks 890 00:43:15.880 --> 00:43:19.000 like a very grizzled Michael Shannon. And uh, never really 891 00:43:19.079 --> 00:43:21.599 notice how much Michael Shannon and Willem Dafoe look alike 892 00:43:21.679 --> 00:43:22.519 until this picture. 893 00:43:23.360 --> 00:43:25.119 It's crazy, all right. 894 00:43:25.400 --> 00:43:28.280 Next up is the Assignment again. First time, I'm blu 895 00:43:28.360 --> 00:43:30.559 Ray anywhere in the world. This is from nineteen ninety seven. 896 00:43:30.840 --> 00:43:34.880 Let's see it that's a fun cover. 897 00:43:36.239 --> 00:43:38.079 Yeah, I haven't seen this one. 898 00:43:39.159 --> 00:43:45.159 Nice, nice movie. Eddie says, three copies and he doesn't 899 00:43:45.199 --> 00:43:46.559 like the movie. Yeah, he's addicted. 900 00:43:47.480 --> 00:43:50.119 But it doesn't matter. The thing is, it doesn't matter 901 00:43:50.119 --> 00:43:51.840 if I like it or don't like it. That's like 902 00:43:52.199 --> 00:43:57.480 not really that interesting. If if you want to save 903 00:43:57.599 --> 00:43:59.599 what's left of it, you have to save all of 904 00:43:59.639 --> 00:44:03.119 it in my opinion. So like, even if I don't 905 00:44:03.199 --> 00:44:04.880 like a laser if I don't like a blue ray, 906 00:44:05.079 --> 00:44:07.320 yeah I get rid of it or whatever. But like, 907 00:44:07.360 --> 00:44:09.719 if I don't like a laser disc, it doesn't doesn't 908 00:44:09.760 --> 00:44:14.199 devalue the thingness of that thing. So to me, it 909 00:44:14.239 --> 00:44:16.320 doesn't It doesn't really matter if I like them or not. 910 00:44:17.079 --> 00:44:21.039 Yeah, I get that one. Uh So the Assignment Aiden 911 00:44:21.119 --> 00:44:24.599 Quinn Donald Sutherland, Sir Ben Kingsley, we got a trailer 912 00:44:24.599 --> 00:44:26.199 coming on the disc and that's it was. There was 913 00:44:26.199 --> 00:44:27.679 there anything stuck on this laser disc? 914 00:44:27.719 --> 00:44:30.280 I'm kind of ye, there's nothing on a laser disc. 915 00:44:31.559 --> 00:44:33.719 I watched a little bit of it actually looked pretty interesting. 916 00:44:34.039 --> 00:44:37.440 It's kind of a Jackal movie, so like there's yeah, yeah, 917 00:44:37.559 --> 00:44:41.480 it looked cooln Kingsley. Ben Kingsley again, plains a race 918 00:44:41.519 --> 00:44:42.119 that he is not. 919 00:44:42.239 --> 00:44:45.079 But whatever, it's kind of what you could make your 920 00:44:45.079 --> 00:44:47.960 career out of. Imprint, says inspired by the real life 921 00:44:48.039 --> 00:44:50.199 Hunt for the Jackal, This gripping spy movie from the 922 00:44:50.239 --> 00:44:54.559 Art of War filmmaker Christian Duquet stars Aiden Quinn, Donald Sutherland, 923 00:44:54.639 --> 00:44:58.800 and Sir Ben Kingsley. This is a yeah, fifteen hundred copies, 924 00:44:58.840 --> 00:45:01.760 like all of their regular leases that they do. Next 925 00:45:01.880 --> 00:45:06.679 up is The Trigger Effect from nineteen ninety six. You're reaching, 926 00:45:06.719 --> 00:45:10.039 so we must got that one too. Look at that. 927 00:45:12.440 --> 00:45:13.119 I love this. 928 00:45:13.679 --> 00:45:15.280 I got most of them the year I announced, so 929 00:45:15.280 --> 00:45:16.039 don't worry about it. 930 00:45:18.119 --> 00:45:24.599 That's amazing, all right. Ronnie wants to point out that 931 00:45:24.599 --> 00:45:29.400 Ben Kingsley is part Indian, so yeah, fair enough, all right? 932 00:45:29.440 --> 00:45:33.239 The Trigger Effect. This one is the directorial debut of 933 00:45:33.239 --> 00:45:36.280 the acclaimed screenwriter David Kepp. This is going to have 934 00:45:36.440 --> 00:45:40.679 on vintage interviews with Kyle maclauch, Elizabeth Shoe, Maroney, David Kepp, 935 00:45:40.880 --> 00:45:43.599 theatrical trailer, and more special features that they're going to 936 00:45:43.639 --> 00:45:46.119 confirm later. To be fair, it does not say more 937 00:45:46.239 --> 00:45:48.840 new special features, but I would hope that it would 938 00:45:48.880 --> 00:45:49.920 be something coming. 939 00:45:50.480 --> 00:45:52.400 Yeah, this movie's not bad. I go watched it this 940 00:45:52.480 --> 00:45:56.199 week as well. Like the first actually the first third 941 00:45:56.480 --> 00:45:58.519 you think like an erotic thriller is going to break out, 942 00:45:58.840 --> 00:46:01.519 and then it sort of changes and I'm interested in that, 943 00:46:01.639 --> 00:46:04.719 and then I really loses steam. The final the final 944 00:46:04.760 --> 00:46:07.880 thirty minutes is not good, but the first hour is 945 00:46:07.920 --> 00:46:08.360 quite good. 946 00:46:09.119 --> 00:46:12.760 I also I love Elizabeth Shoe. Yeah, she's great, She's 947 00:46:12.800 --> 00:46:13.679 always incredible. 948 00:46:13.800 --> 00:46:16.800 She's great. And some was Drummo Maroney in this movie 949 00:46:17.119 --> 00:46:17.840 really good. 950 00:46:18.199 --> 00:46:21.519 That's true. Speaking to good movies. Imprint on that same 951 00:46:21.599 --> 00:46:26.159 day releasing a four K Blu ray dual format of Bound. Now, Yes, 952 00:46:26.280 --> 00:46:29.239 Bound has been released by Criterion on four K here 953 00:46:29.239 --> 00:46:32.079 in the US, but this is going to be coming 954 00:46:32.199 --> 00:46:34.719 to Australia for the first time. It doesn't look like 955 00:46:34.800 --> 00:46:37.159 any of these extras are brand new. They're just poured 956 00:46:37.159 --> 00:46:39.599 it over from the previous releases, but they might have 957 00:46:39.679 --> 00:46:41.880 better encoding than Criterion. Let's see it. We know you 958 00:46:41.960 --> 00:46:42.320 got it. 959 00:46:42.519 --> 00:46:44.960 Well, this is the US one, and you can see 960 00:46:45.039 --> 00:46:47.880 they basically just took the VHS image and they stuck 961 00:46:47.920 --> 00:46:51.320 it on a laser disk. Boring, So why have the 962 00:46:51.440 --> 00:46:54.119 US one? You can see this original I worked from 963 00:46:54.119 --> 00:46:56.840 the Japanese one. Oh that's cool. 964 00:46:59.000 --> 00:47:01.840 That's incredible. Well, I oh that's great. 965 00:47:02.519 --> 00:47:07.039 Yeah, the Japanese one is awesome, and there's no special watch. 966 00:47:07.519 --> 00:47:10.719 The same commentary is actually on this laserness that's around 967 00:47:10.760 --> 00:47:15.199 forever with the watchowskis and the actresses and actor. 968 00:47:18.239 --> 00:47:20.360 That was weird. It goes chaub for a second, and 969 00:47:20.360 --> 00:47:24.480 now we're back. Ronnie says, I'm drooling over these bound 970 00:47:24.519 --> 00:47:29.320 laser discs. Yeah, the Japanese one is incredible. Yeah, I 971 00:47:30.000 --> 00:47:32.119 kind of wish Criteria that used a version of that 972 00:47:32.280 --> 00:47:32.880 for their cover. 973 00:47:33.320 --> 00:47:36.000 Yeah, it's actually very cool. And the Hong Kong Laser 974 00:47:36.039 --> 00:47:38.639 just kind of uses a version of this too. Another 975 00:47:38.679 --> 00:47:42.199 reason why I like these multiple copies is a reversion, 976 00:47:42.320 --> 00:47:44.199 let's say, is that you can see how a movie 977 00:47:44.280 --> 00:47:47.320 is sold throughout the world in the moment. So in 978 00:47:47.400 --> 00:47:51.199 nineteen ninety what is nineteen ninety five, right six? In 979 00:47:51.280 --> 00:47:55.840 nineteen ninety six, you know, there's there's a cover that's 980 00:47:55.840 --> 00:47:57.920 made for a VHS and in the United States, nobody 981 00:47:57.920 --> 00:48:00.199 thinks to do anything slaps in the middle really the 982 00:48:00.280 --> 00:48:02.840 laser disc. But when they bring it to Asia, there's 983 00:48:02.880 --> 00:48:05.119 actually a different person in a different marketing team and 984 00:48:05.159 --> 00:48:07.840 a different whatever and they select a different style of 985 00:48:07.880 --> 00:48:10.559 imaging and a different style of cover, and they make 986 00:48:10.599 --> 00:48:13.440 it for their own market. And you know, you can 987 00:48:13.519 --> 00:48:16.920 tell what they're selling, what they're interested in, and what 988 00:48:16.960 --> 00:48:19.320 they care about. And I think that actually can be 989 00:48:19.360 --> 00:48:20.599 instructive in and of itself. 990 00:48:21.519 --> 00:48:23.679 Well, and you know, kind of relevant. I was going 991 00:48:23.719 --> 00:48:25.719 to ask about this later, but may as well ask 992 00:48:25.760 --> 00:48:27.440 it now, especially because somebody in the chat is bringing 993 00:48:27.440 --> 00:48:29.559 it up. This movie's thirty years old. This came out 994 00:48:29.599 --> 00:48:33.440 thirty years ago ish on laser disc. We're facing some 995 00:48:33.519 --> 00:48:35.960 DVDs getting disc rut right now? Is there anything like 996 00:48:36.119 --> 00:48:37.679 disc rut for laser discs? 997 00:48:38.000 --> 00:48:41.440 Yeah, it gets complicated, but they do rot. It depends 998 00:48:41.440 --> 00:48:44.639 on where they're made, so they're really only about fifteen 999 00:48:44.679 --> 00:48:47.239 places a little more, maybe eighteen places than the world 1000 00:48:47.280 --> 00:48:51.480 that ever made laser discs. The worst offender is there 1001 00:48:51.519 --> 00:48:56.639 was a factory in Ohio called I'll think of it 1002 00:48:56.679 --> 00:48:59.239 in a second, but whatever. The factory in Ohio used 1003 00:48:59.280 --> 00:49:02.639 to be a furniture manufacturing plant and switched over to 1004 00:49:02.719 --> 00:49:06.639 laser disc and their quality control was crap. So when 1005 00:49:06.719 --> 00:49:09.360 you get their stuff, it tends to rot. The Japanese 1006 00:49:09.440 --> 00:49:12.360 laser discs are usually made of They did have a 1007 00:49:12.400 --> 00:49:14.679 couple of smaller ones, but one of two places, and 1008 00:49:14.719 --> 00:49:18.639 they made great, great presents, and then the couple others 1009 00:49:18.639 --> 00:49:20.719 in the United States were very very good as well. 1010 00:49:21.400 --> 00:49:24.239 European laser discs, like the pow ones, they tend to 1011 00:49:24.320 --> 00:49:27.039 rot a lot more often. And then when you look 1012 00:49:27.079 --> 00:49:31.239 into East Asia, like some of those they rocked sometimes. 1013 00:49:31.519 --> 00:49:34.880 But honestly, like if all you really care about is 1014 00:49:34.880 --> 00:49:37.719 a picture quality, I would not suggest buying the laser disc. 1015 00:49:39.840 --> 00:49:43.000 Understandable, although for a while laser discs, to be fair, 1016 00:49:43.039 --> 00:49:44.239 were kind of the gold standard. 1017 00:49:45.239 --> 00:49:48.639 Oh yeah, they look great. It just they looked very specific. 1018 00:49:49.320 --> 00:49:51.480 Yes they do, and we'll talk about that. We'll talk 1019 00:49:51.480 --> 00:49:54.039 about why they were even a format in a little bit. 1020 00:49:54.639 --> 00:49:56.760 But that's not it for Imprint. Next up from them 1021 00:49:57.039 --> 00:49:59.559 is from nineteen ninety three. We got a Bronx tail. 1022 00:50:00.320 --> 00:50:03.679 This is one that has already come out elsewhere, so 1023 00:50:03.719 --> 00:50:06.440 this is coming to Australia now. And now there is 1024 00:50:06.559 --> 00:50:10.079 here a new interview with the star Catherine Narducci. There 1025 00:50:10.199 --> 00:50:12.840 is some archival extras on here as well. There's all 1026 00:50:12.920 --> 00:50:16.679 kinds of stuff going on here. But let's see a 1027 00:50:16.800 --> 00:50:17.440 Bronx too. 1028 00:50:17.519 --> 00:50:21.239 So so when I would buy collections, Lord knows what 1029 00:50:21.280 --> 00:50:23.559 they were, what would happen to them or anything. So 1030 00:50:23.599 --> 00:50:26.599 I can't authenticate this. But this one's signed by Chas 1031 00:50:26.639 --> 00:50:32.159 Pulmonary and Robert de Niro. So I bought that for 1032 00:50:32.199 --> 00:50:36.639 about a dollar. I mean, if you think about what 1033 00:50:36.679 --> 00:50:39.039 I sold, what I didn't want for, they paid me. 1034 00:50:39.000 --> 00:50:41.480 To take this, right, that's crazy. 1035 00:50:42.559 --> 00:50:45.079 So yeah, maybe that's why. Maybe that's them, But that's 1036 00:50:45.119 --> 00:50:46.519 a brown chio. This is a very good movie. I 1037 00:50:46.599 --> 00:50:47.320 like this movie a lot. 1038 00:50:48.159 --> 00:50:51.360 Yes, it's a good movie. I've not seen it a 1039 00:50:51.360 --> 00:50:54.239 long time. I need to see it again. Great looking 1040 00:50:54.960 --> 00:50:59.039 release from Imprint. This looks pretty dang exciting. Lots of 1041 00:50:59.079 --> 00:51:02.400 extras here. Hopefull in Print encodes this one pretty well. 1042 00:51:02.400 --> 00:51:04.559 They've been doing fairly great with their four k's lately, 1043 00:51:04.639 --> 00:51:06.960 so I'll give them the benefit of the dead. Any 1044 00:51:06.960 --> 00:51:08.159 of the thoughts on a Bronx tail. 1045 00:51:09.480 --> 00:51:11.280 No, it's definitely worth watching. If you haven't seen it, 1046 00:51:11.280 --> 00:51:11.880 you should see it. 1047 00:51:12.840 --> 00:51:17.119 Cool then how about Game of Thrones? November third in 1048 00:51:17.199 --> 00:51:20.079 the US and Canada and then November two the UK. 1049 00:51:20.480 --> 00:51:25.480 We are getting this fifteen year anniversary Steel Book Library 1050 00:51:25.519 --> 00:51:29.920 collection from Warner Brothers and it's just it's just steel books, 1051 00:51:29.920 --> 00:51:32.239 just four K steel books. All the discs are identical 1052 00:51:32.320 --> 00:51:34.159 to every release that have always come out for this 1053 00:51:34.199 --> 00:51:37.480 over the last fifteen years. Thoughts on Game of Thrones 1054 00:51:37.519 --> 00:51:39.440 because I'm not gonna have a lot to say about it. 1055 00:51:39.880 --> 00:51:41.880 I mean, I watched when it came out. I liked 1056 00:51:41.880 --> 00:51:45.599 it last week the what's it after you played with 1057 00:51:45.639 --> 00:51:48.480 John snow Kit something Kit Harrington? Yeah, I worked with 1058 00:51:48.559 --> 00:51:50.320 him last week. He's the same height as me and 1059 00:51:50.360 --> 00:51:54.679 I'm not very tall, so I was surprised. Very nice, 1060 00:51:55.119 --> 00:51:59.079 very British. But yeah, it's I think it's one of 1061 00:51:59.079 --> 00:52:02.280 those things that, like, you know, like when you think 1062 00:52:02.280 --> 00:52:04.920 about like the Sopranos, like if you weren't watching it 1063 00:52:04.960 --> 00:52:06.920 in the early two thousands, it seems like a chore 1064 00:52:07.000 --> 00:52:09.639 to go back and watch not much now. I think 1065 00:52:09.679 --> 00:52:11.760 Game of Thrones is kind of like that, especially if 1066 00:52:11.760 --> 00:52:14.760 you don't like fantasy, and fantasy honesty is not really 1067 00:52:14.800 --> 00:52:16.639 my thing. But I don't know why I just was 1068 00:52:16.639 --> 00:52:17.280 into this one. 1069 00:52:18.400 --> 00:52:20.360 Well, maybe i'd like it because I'm not into fantasy 1070 00:52:20.360 --> 00:52:23.440 and I've not watched more than I don't know, forty 1071 00:52:23.480 --> 00:52:25.280 seconds of this thing ever. Total. 1072 00:52:25.920 --> 00:52:27.440 Yeah, if you don't like it. You don't like it, 1073 00:52:27.599 --> 00:52:28.199 no problem with that. 1074 00:52:29.000 --> 00:52:31.000 I will say I breezed right through the Sopranos years 1075 00:52:31.039 --> 00:52:34.360 after it played, and that was still great. All right. 1076 00:52:35.000 --> 00:52:38.400 Next up, Flight from twenty twelve, getting a four K 1077 00:52:38.559 --> 00:52:41.599 and blu ray release from Keena Lober on July twenty. First, 1078 00:52:41.880 --> 00:52:44.480 we got a new audio commentary by Julie Krugo and 1079 00:52:44.519 --> 00:52:47.920 Peter Hancoff, and there's also a new interview with Roberts 1080 00:52:48.079 --> 00:52:52.000 Mechis on this, and then the screenwriter, John Getten's is 1081 00:52:52.039 --> 00:52:55.119 on that interview as well. Any thoughts on Denzil's a 1082 00:52:55.199 --> 00:52:56.280 mechas or Flight. 1083 00:52:57.480 --> 00:53:00.199 I've never seen Flight. I think that's in that that 1084 00:53:00.800 --> 00:53:02.920 Helsey on time when I didn't see anything. But I 1085 00:53:02.920 --> 00:53:06.360 always like a good Denzel Washington movie. I'm not I'm 1086 00:53:06.400 --> 00:53:08.760 sure Roberts Mechus has made anything good in a long time, 1087 00:53:08.760 --> 00:53:09.679 but maybe I'm wrong. 1088 00:53:10.679 --> 00:53:13.280 Well, not only that John Goodman's in this, which means 1089 00:53:13.280 --> 00:53:14.920 it has to be a good movie. That's fun too, 1090 00:53:15.639 --> 00:53:19.000 all right. Next up, we've got the second of the 1091 00:53:19.079 --> 00:53:22.280 Keno Lober Britt noir collections that they're doing. This one 1092 00:53:22.320 --> 00:53:24.880 is coming on June thirtieth, and this covers nineteen fifty 1093 00:53:24.880 --> 00:53:28.320 two to nineteen fifty six. The Mighty Jack Hopkins takes 1094 00:53:28.320 --> 00:53:30.960 center stage in this triple feature of this noir. We 1095 00:53:31.039 --> 00:53:33.800 got an audio commentary for the film Home at Seven 1096 00:53:34.000 --> 00:53:36.840 by Julie Krgo and Peter Hancoff. We at an audio commentary 1097 00:53:36.880 --> 00:53:39.920 for The Intruder by Julie Kergo and Peter Hancoff. We 1098 00:53:39.960 --> 00:53:42.800 an audio commentary for The Long Arm by Lawrence Lherman. 1099 00:53:43.760 --> 00:53:45.920 Any thoughts on those three films are British noir. 1100 00:53:46.639 --> 00:53:48.320 I haven't seen any of them, but they're all interesting 1101 00:53:48.360 --> 00:53:51.280 to me. I like these Kino sets. I actually I 1102 00:53:51.360 --> 00:53:54.760 like most of what Keno does, but you know, not always. 1103 00:53:54.960 --> 00:53:56.719 I just wish it was a little bit better. But 1104 00:53:56.960 --> 00:54:00.360 I think they're usually interesting and they're cheap so it's 1105 00:54:00.360 --> 00:54:02.079 easy to pick up when the sales are on. 1106 00:54:03.119 --> 00:54:05.119 Yeah, this one will likely end up at you know, 1107 00:54:05.239 --> 00:54:08.000 ten bucks towards And I mean, how do you complain 1108 00:54:08.039 --> 00:54:09.800 about films that are pretty good? 1109 00:54:10.199 --> 00:54:12.079 Yeah? 1110 00:54:12.119 --> 00:54:15.199 Next up, we've got a June twenty third four K 1111 00:54:15.360 --> 00:54:19.599 release from Keno of Hang Them High from nineteen sixty eight. Previously, 1112 00:54:19.639 --> 00:54:22.320 this was done I believe by Shout on Blu Rays. 1113 00:54:22.360 --> 00:54:25.719 Part of that Shout select collection. This one is going 1114 00:54:25.760 --> 00:54:28.960 to have a new audio commentary by Steve Mitchell. We 1115 00:54:29.039 --> 00:54:31.840 got an archival commentary by Lem Dobbs and Nick Redmond 1116 00:54:31.880 --> 00:54:34.440 on this one as well. That is it other than 1117 00:54:34.440 --> 00:54:35.960 a trailer? Hang them high. 1118 00:54:36.239 --> 00:54:37.880 I know you don't like Eastwood, but actually think it's 1119 00:54:37.880 --> 00:54:41.199 pretty good one. And the original Laser just looks really cool. 1120 00:54:42.000 --> 00:54:43.760 They like painted art. 1121 00:54:45.000 --> 00:54:46.119 That is pretty cool. 1122 00:54:48.280 --> 00:54:50.559 It's a pretty violent movie. I like this one. This one, 1123 00:54:51.440 --> 00:54:54.360 This one is not bad. It's like it's it's actually 1124 00:54:54.360 --> 00:54:55.760 like a real it feels a little bit more like 1125 00:54:55.800 --> 00:54:58.480 a spaghetti Western than a lot of his other stuff. 1126 00:54:59.079 --> 00:55:03.000 Maybe I like it more than all right. Next up 1127 00:55:03.360 --> 00:55:05.199 one that we know you don't have on laser disc. 1128 00:55:05.599 --> 00:55:08.079 May twenty fifth, We're getting a Blu ray and DVD 1129 00:55:08.199 --> 00:55:11.400 release over in the UK from light Bulb Films of 1130 00:55:11.639 --> 00:55:16.320 Diabolic from twenty twenty five. This says, after suffering terrifying blackouts, 1131 00:55:16.360 --> 00:55:18.840 a young woman returns to the religious compound where she 1132 00:55:18.960 --> 00:55:21.719 was raised. As she unravels the dark secrets of her past, 1133 00:55:21.800 --> 00:55:25.480 an ancient ritual unleashes the vengeful spirit of a cursed witch. 1134 00:55:26.280 --> 00:55:28.159 I believe, and I know that you pay attention a 1135 00:55:28.199 --> 00:55:30.480 lot to them. Wasn't this released by Umbrella as well? 1136 00:55:30.920 --> 00:55:31.719 Yeah? I think it was. 1137 00:55:32.320 --> 00:55:35.400 Got it That's where I'm recognizing it from diabolic? Did 1138 00:55:35.480 --> 00:55:36.679 did you pick this one up? Did you end up 1139 00:55:36.719 --> 00:55:37.079 watching this? 1140 00:55:37.440 --> 00:55:41.719 I didn't get this one. I really like Umbrella a lot, 1141 00:55:41.880 --> 00:55:45.960 but the cost benefit of analysis of continuing to like 1142 00:55:46.079 --> 00:55:49.159 Umbrella a lot sometimes like Pumps the Brakes a little 1143 00:55:49.159 --> 00:55:51.679 bit on it for me, but they put out like 1144 00:55:52.400 --> 00:55:55.760 they do just killer releases, but they're just gigantic. 1145 00:55:56.239 --> 00:55:59.559 Yeah. And it's sounds expensive. Yeah, And that's I mean, 1146 00:55:59.599 --> 00:56:01.920 the big thing. I don't remember if we covered it 1147 00:56:01.960 --> 00:56:05.280 on the show just recently, just a heads up. Even 1148 00:56:05.320 --> 00:56:06.840 if we did cover it, we may as well drive 1149 00:56:06.880 --> 00:56:10.960 it in. Umbrella did raise their price for free shipping recently. 1150 00:56:11.000 --> 00:56:13.880 It used to be one forty US and now I 1151 00:56:13.880 --> 00:56:17.480 think it's two hundred US, and that's a significant difference. 1152 00:56:17.679 --> 00:56:20.000 It used to be you could buy like a movie 1153 00:56:20.039 --> 00:56:23.440 and a half and that would be enough for free shipping, 1154 00:56:23.639 --> 00:56:26.519 and now it's I mean you got to get essentially 1155 00:56:26.639 --> 00:56:29.159 three in pay like two hundred and forty dollars sometimes. 1156 00:56:29.400 --> 00:56:31.679 I mean that being said, did you get the kids release? 1157 00:56:31.840 --> 00:56:34.639 That is a crazy, crazy big. 1158 00:56:34.559 --> 00:56:36.599 The looks I've got like the standard that they did. 1159 00:56:37.119 --> 00:56:38.800 Look that is I mean, I really I'm a big 1160 00:56:38.840 --> 00:56:41.000 pan of I remember seeing that in high school. So 1161 00:56:41.119 --> 00:56:43.199 I saw that I was like, go for it. And 1162 00:56:43.239 --> 00:56:45.239 it hadn't been out forever, so like, they really do 1163 00:56:45.360 --> 00:56:48.519 a good job of mining like my childhood. I feel. 1164 00:56:50.119 --> 00:56:52.079 Kids is your child I. 1165 00:56:51.960 --> 00:56:54.360 Mean no, but it was like existed at the time. 1166 00:56:55.320 --> 00:56:58.639 Yeah, I mean I had to make that comment. Somebody. 1167 00:57:00.360 --> 00:57:04.320 Let's keep going. June twenty third from Wellgo USA, we 1168 00:57:04.320 --> 00:57:06.840 got a Blu ray DVD coming of Dirty Hands from 1169 00:57:06.880 --> 00:57:09.599 twenty twenty five. This will have a trailer on the 1170 00:57:09.639 --> 00:57:11.960 disc and that is it. I just want to point 1171 00:57:11.960 --> 00:57:14.159 out what I said at the beginning, well Go USA, 1172 00:57:14.239 --> 00:57:16.639 you put out pressed discs of good films, people will 1173 00:57:16.679 --> 00:57:19.400 continue to buy them. You do this BDR that is 1174 00:57:19.480 --> 00:57:22.400 locked to Amazon and very expensive, You're gonna do a 1175 00:57:22.440 --> 00:57:25.719 lot worse than normal. This is not a great move, 1176 00:57:25.760 --> 00:57:27.159 and I hope that they go back to doing what 1177 00:57:27.159 --> 00:57:29.119 they used to because Welgo has done some good stuff 1178 00:57:29.159 --> 00:57:29.880 over the years. 1179 00:57:30.119 --> 00:57:32.000 Yeah, I like, I have a handful of Wellgo things 1180 00:57:32.000 --> 00:57:32.800 that I really enjoy. 1181 00:57:33.760 --> 00:57:37.719 Yeah, speaking of Wellgo, the next thing June second, they're 1182 00:57:37.719 --> 00:57:40.599 doing a blu ray and DVD of seven thirty one 1183 00:57:40.760 --> 00:57:43.960 from twenty twenty five. If you recognize that number, it's 1184 00:57:44.000 --> 00:57:47.880 because this is the Japanese Imperial Armies notorious Unit seven 1185 00:57:48.000 --> 00:57:51.400 thirty one during World War Two that was also the 1186 00:57:51.440 --> 00:57:55.599 subject of a couple we'll say notorious films are okay, 1187 00:57:55.599 --> 00:57:58.760 three notorious films before this, known as the Men Behind 1188 00:57:58.800 --> 00:58:01.840 the Sun trilogy. This says, based on the true horse 1189 00:58:01.880 --> 00:58:04.760 conducted by that Japanese Imperial Armies Notorious Unit seven thirty 1190 00:58:04.800 --> 00:58:07.400 one during World War Two. Under the pretense of science, 1191 00:58:07.559 --> 00:58:12.480 prisoners are used for inhumane and tortuous experimentation in developing 1192 00:58:12.559 --> 00:58:16.880 bacterial and chemical weapons order to organize and pascifize fellow prisoners. 1193 00:58:16.920 --> 00:58:19.760 A man witnesses the harrowing corruption and suffering in the camp. 1194 00:58:20.079 --> 00:58:23.800 The long suppressed war crimes and horrific experimentation remain one 1195 00:58:23.800 --> 00:58:27.639 of humanity's darkest moments of depravity. This is a wild 1196 00:58:27.679 --> 00:58:31.280 looking trailer. I think people should watch the trailer because 1197 00:58:31.400 --> 00:58:38.920 it looks crazy. Anyways, going to our next one and 1198 00:58:39.239 --> 00:58:43.320 it blacked out, that's really weird. Thanks Instagram for failing 1199 00:58:43.360 --> 00:58:49.480 me in this moment. What is our next one? Okay, 1200 00:58:49.679 --> 00:58:52.679 I guess it doesn't like that post. Let's just carry on. 1201 00:58:53.679 --> 00:58:56.199 That's weird. Why is it not showing this one random post? 1202 00:58:56.199 --> 00:59:01.840 What is this? All? Right? Anyways? Fast Forward Fast Forward 1203 00:59:01.960 --> 00:59:04.039 is coming on Blu Ray in the US from Alliance. 1204 00:59:04.360 --> 00:59:06.199 This is from nineteen eighty four and it's coming as 1205 00:59:06.239 --> 00:59:09.280 part of the Retro VHS collection. It's literally just a 1206 00:59:09.280 --> 00:59:11.400 Blu ray and a slipcover that's made to look like 1207 00:59:11.480 --> 00:59:13.719 it has a VHS in it. There's not gonna be 1208 00:59:13.760 --> 00:59:16.840 any special features on these discs whatsoever except maybe a 1209 00:59:16.880 --> 00:59:22.360 trailer sometimes. Flash Forward is a Sydney Poatier film, and 1210 00:59:22.400 --> 00:59:25.239 we've got a laser disc for this one. Oh that 1211 00:59:25.360 --> 00:59:26.760 is a much better cover. 1212 00:59:30.039 --> 00:59:31.440 I didn't get to watch it, which I'm a little 1213 00:59:31.440 --> 00:59:33.039 bummed out. That was my next one, but I ran 1214 00:59:33.079 --> 00:59:33.599 out of time. 1215 00:59:35.599 --> 00:59:40.159 Interesting. Yeah that I like that art a lot more. 1216 00:59:40.679 --> 00:59:41.599 Yeah. 1217 00:59:41.719 --> 00:59:43.760 Have you seen this one? 1218 00:59:43.760 --> 00:59:43.840 No? 1219 00:59:43.920 --> 00:59:44.920 I haven't seen it yet. 1220 00:59:46.159 --> 00:59:50.079 From what I hear, this is awful. Anybody that chats 1221 00:59:50.079 --> 00:59:50.800 see this one. 1222 00:59:51.199 --> 00:59:56.519 Doesn't surprise me. This is like way past Sidney Platiers, 1223 00:59:57.239 --> 00:59:59.320 you know, prime as far as having any power and 1224 00:59:59.360 --> 00:59:59.880 ability in. 1225 01:00:01.119 --> 01:00:06.480 Right right, nineteen eighties was not the boon for what 1226 01:00:06.719 --> 01:00:10.840 the direction. June thirtieth, we got the same thing coming. 1227 01:00:11.360 --> 01:00:13.519 We've got you light Up My Life from nineteen seventy 1228 01:00:13.519 --> 01:00:16.639 seven coming as part of this retro VHS collection. This 1229 01:00:16.719 --> 01:00:20.079 one is a Joel Silver film with D. D. Cohn. 1230 01:00:20.480 --> 01:00:21.559 Do we have a laser disc for you? 1231 01:00:21.679 --> 01:00:24.039 Light Up my Life doesn't exist on laser disc? 1232 01:00:25.559 --> 01:00:30.840 Understandable. I kind of not surprised in any way that 1233 01:00:30.880 --> 01:00:31.119 it does. 1234 01:00:31.360 --> 01:00:34.280 It's like a little bit before so like seventy e's 1235 01:00:34.280 --> 01:00:36.039 when it starts, which I guess we'll talk about later. 1236 01:00:36.199 --> 01:00:39.599 So if it's released in seventy seven and it has 1237 01:00:39.760 --> 01:00:42.719 like nobody who cares about it, you're not going to 1238 01:00:42.760 --> 01:00:44.159 get a laser disc release, you know. 1239 01:00:45.000 --> 01:00:50.000 Yeah, that makes sense. All Right, Let's go to our 1240 01:00:50.039 --> 01:00:53.039 next one, which all of a sudden, Allian's pumping out 1241 01:00:53.280 --> 01:00:58.480 these retro VHS collections. June thirtieth. They're now doing White Palace, 1242 01:00:59.000 --> 01:01:04.079 the Jason Alexander, Susan Sarandon and Kathy Bates starring film 1243 01:01:04.119 --> 01:01:08.159 with of course the uh magnet for erotic thrillers mister 1244 01:01:08.239 --> 01:01:11.000 James Spader and I hear a laser disc. Oh look 1245 01:01:11.000 --> 01:01:12.320 at that same cover. Nice? 1246 01:01:12.440 --> 01:01:17.000 Yeah, the same This movie is actually pretty darn good. 1247 01:01:16.639 --> 01:01:19.639 Would I would give this a lot more credit than 1248 01:01:19.679 --> 01:01:24.960 it has. It's like a May December movie where like 1249 01:01:25.039 --> 01:01:27.400 Susan Sarandon's forty three when she's actually forty three, and 1250 01:01:27.480 --> 01:01:29.719 James Spader plays a twenty seven year old he's actually 1251 01:01:29.760 --> 01:01:33.199 twenty seven, and she's sort of like a poor waitress 1252 01:01:33.199 --> 01:01:35.039 from the wrong side of the tracks and he's a 1253 01:01:35.119 --> 01:01:37.119 rich Jewish guy from the right side of the tracks. 1254 01:01:37.159 --> 01:01:40.480 And will they get together? Will they not? It's a 1255 01:01:40.480 --> 01:01:44.079 little cheesebally at times, but especially like the first half, 1256 01:01:44.199 --> 01:01:47.039 they really go for it and it's pretty darn good, 1257 01:01:47.079 --> 01:01:52.480 and James Spader is like always doing something interesting. I 1258 01:01:52.559 --> 01:01:54.760 think it's absolutely worth a watch. Well you know you 1259 01:01:54.800 --> 01:01:56.039 want to buy it? I don't know, but it's definitely 1260 01:01:56.079 --> 01:01:56.599 worth watching. 1261 01:01:57.679 --> 01:01:59.480 Is it actually erotic with that cover? 1262 01:02:03.119 --> 01:02:04.480 I mean there's a lot of nudity in it. I 1263 01:02:04.519 --> 01:02:06.280 don't know if that matters how much Susan s random 1264 01:02:06.320 --> 01:02:08.400 Nu did you did you want? Because there's a lot 1265 01:02:08.440 --> 01:02:08.719 of it? 1266 01:02:09.920 --> 01:02:13.599 All right, Well, let's get our names, budd Well, that's 1267 01:02:13.599 --> 01:02:16.920 always a good thing. June thirtieth, the next from that 1268 01:02:17.039 --> 01:02:21.159 Alliance line of retro VHS collection, We've got Cold Steel 1269 01:02:21.280 --> 01:02:24.159 from nineteen eighty seven. The face you recognize there is 1270 01:02:24.360 --> 01:02:27.960 Jonathan Banks from Breaking Bad. Of course, we've got Sharon 1271 01:02:28.039 --> 01:02:30.280 Stone in this one as well. We got Brad Davis. 1272 01:02:30.760 --> 01:02:35.280 This one sounds pretty damn good. LAPD Detective Johnny Modine's 1273 01:02:35.280 --> 01:02:38.159 world is shattered when his father's brutally murdered. Determined to 1274 01:02:38.159 --> 01:02:40.239 avenge his father's death, Johnny puts his career in a 1275 01:02:40.280 --> 01:02:42.199 sanity on the line in an all out effort to 1276 01:02:42.199 --> 01:02:45.360 bring the killer to justice, But his road dissatisfaction is 1277 01:02:45.480 --> 01:02:48.880 littered with some very familiar in deadly characters, and he 1278 01:02:48.960 --> 01:02:53.320 soon discovers that the death was anything but random. Hit us. 1279 01:02:53.880 --> 01:02:55.920 So this is the Hong Kong release, which is the 1280 01:02:55.960 --> 01:03:00.599 only place that got released on laser disc. I really 1281 01:03:00.599 --> 01:03:03.039 like how they put Sharon Stone in there. And now, 1282 01:03:03.199 --> 01:03:05.119 why would you think that this would get released in 1283 01:03:05.239 --> 01:03:09.800 Hong Kong in nineteen ninety in nineteen ninety two, Why 1284 01:03:09.840 --> 01:03:14.480 would that be? I have no idea, But maybe it's 1285 01:03:14.480 --> 01:03:17.519 because they keep putting her everywhere else tire up. But 1286 01:03:17.599 --> 01:03:20.159 she has like one sex scene in the movie. It's okay. 1287 01:03:20.960 --> 01:03:23.800 The real thing about this movie, it's kind of interesting, 1288 01:03:25.480 --> 01:03:28.840 is that it's directed and written by Dorothy N. Puzo Puso, 1289 01:03:29.159 --> 01:03:33.840 Mario Puzo's daughter, and the Imprint released it with nothing 1290 01:03:33.880 --> 01:03:37.519 on it as well, which was too bad. But it's okay. 1291 01:03:37.719 --> 01:03:39.519 I liked it. I didn't love it. I liked it. 1292 01:03:39.679 --> 01:03:42.800 There's two cool car chases and the final fight is 1293 01:03:42.840 --> 01:03:45.559 pretty cool. Little little Wonky. 1294 01:03:46.599 --> 01:03:48.599 Better than some of the movies that we've got releases for. 1295 01:03:49.239 --> 01:03:51.119 Oh yeah, no, no, It's definitely worth a watch. 1296 01:03:51.880 --> 01:03:54.480 All right. Next up June thirtieth, we get a Blu 1297 01:03:54.519 --> 01:03:56.559 ray and DVD coming in the US from movie of 1298 01:03:56.679 --> 01:04:00.199 last year's film, The Mastermind from Kelly Wrhi Cart saw 1299 01:04:00.239 --> 01:04:01.880 this one in theaters. Did you happen to catch this 1300 01:04:01.960 --> 01:04:02.440 one last year? 1301 01:04:02.480 --> 01:04:03.679 Yeah? I saw it on movie I thought it was 1302 01:04:03.679 --> 01:04:04.079 pretty good. 1303 01:04:04.159 --> 01:04:06.679 Yeah yeah, I like this one a lot. I know 1304 01:04:06.719 --> 01:04:08.880 that it was semi devisive a lot of people. I 1305 01:04:08.880 --> 01:04:10.800 think the people that like Kelly Reichart really liked this. 1306 01:04:11.440 --> 01:04:13.159 He does the same movie. So if you don't like 1307 01:04:13.239 --> 01:04:15.320 Kelly Recoy, why are you watching the same movie again 1308 01:04:15.599 --> 01:04:15.920 to see? 1309 01:04:15.960 --> 01:04:19.320 Yeah, it's it's great. For some people, it's just too 1310 01:04:19.360 --> 01:04:21.199 slow and not enough happens. But man, it's just so 1311 01:04:21.280 --> 01:04:23.639 well made. It's fun. You're long for a fun story. 1312 01:04:23.800 --> 01:04:26.079 And Josh O'Connor man, he had a hell of a 1313 01:04:26.159 --> 01:04:27.679 year last year. Dude can act. 1314 01:04:28.159 --> 01:04:30.800 He's great. He's really great. It's definitely worth checking out. 1315 01:04:31.480 --> 01:04:34.000 I agree. Rumor is right now. By the way, if 1316 01:04:34.039 --> 01:04:37.840 you're a format stickler or something like that, the rumor 1317 01:04:37.880 --> 01:04:39.559 is Movie is putting out a four K of this, 1318 01:04:39.719 --> 01:04:43.119 but only in the UK, not in the US, which 1319 01:04:43.719 --> 01:04:45.920 kind of an odd choice, especially from a company like 1320 01:04:45.960 --> 01:04:49.519 Movie who's not necessarily doing super well with everybody right now. 1321 01:04:49.840 --> 01:04:51.719 So people don't like movie. 1322 01:04:51.719 --> 01:04:52.840 People don't like movie. 1323 01:04:53.239 --> 01:04:56.280 Yeah, they had some investment money that was found out 1324 01:04:56.280 --> 01:04:57.840 to be from some dark places. 1325 01:04:58.400 --> 01:04:59.719 That makes sense, fair enough. 1326 01:05:00.840 --> 01:05:03.480 Next up, finally getting a four K release in the 1327 01:05:03.559 --> 01:05:05.519 UK after it already had one here in the US. 1328 01:05:05.559 --> 01:05:08.599 We got Studio Canal putting out a four K of Rush. 1329 01:05:08.639 --> 01:05:10.599 This one is from twenty thirteen and this will be 1330 01:05:10.639 --> 01:05:13.920 on June twenty ninth. This will have deleted scenes, the 1331 01:05:13.960 --> 01:05:16.599 real story of Rush and a race for the Checkered Flag, 1332 01:05:16.639 --> 01:05:19.360 the making of Rush. I had never seen this one. 1333 01:05:19.719 --> 01:05:22.559 I gotta admit not a huge Ron Howard fan. For 1334 01:05:23.280 --> 01:05:26.079 a lot of movies bad, not good. 1335 01:05:26.280 --> 01:05:29.679 Not good. I don't see this movie, but I would 1336 01:05:29.719 --> 01:05:33.519 not choose to spend my time with Ron Howard and 1337 01:05:33.599 --> 01:05:36.039 almost any way, shape or form. Although my kids loved 1338 01:05:36.039 --> 01:05:38.639 the stupid live action Grinch movie, and I know why 1339 01:05:39.239 --> 01:05:42.159 you love it. They love it so much. I see 1340 01:05:42.199 --> 01:05:46.039 it lived four times every holiday season. It's nuts. 1341 01:05:46.800 --> 01:05:48.519 Carry's fantastic in that movie. 1342 01:05:48.639 --> 01:05:51.079 But I guess, but it's not the Jim Carrey I remember. 1343 01:05:51.760 --> 01:05:54.960 I agree. I also, for some reason, I enjoyed Eden 1344 01:05:55.079 --> 01:05:58.719 last year, and I can't really say why. The one 1345 01:05:58.760 --> 01:06:02.239 with the swing and yeah, it's it was all right. 1346 01:06:02.639 --> 01:06:04.519 I mean he's a component director. He's just not any 1347 01:06:04.519 --> 01:06:05.480 I don't think it's any fun. 1348 01:06:06.559 --> 01:06:09.159 Well, he is the most vanilla directory. 1349 01:06:09.280 --> 01:06:11.559 Oh god, yeah, yeah, god. 1350 01:06:13.039 --> 01:06:15.280 Let's talk about some films that already have multiple releases. 1351 01:06:15.719 --> 01:06:18.960 June twenty second, we're getting a collector's edition four K 1352 01:06:19.079 --> 01:06:22.679 steel book in the UK from Anime Limited of the 1353 01:06:22.760 --> 01:06:25.519 Dark Crystal from nineteen eighty two. They're also doing just 1354 01:06:25.599 --> 01:06:27.920 like a standard four K steel book, where you just 1355 01:06:28.039 --> 01:06:30.719 get the steel book itself, but if you want all 1356 01:06:30.800 --> 01:06:33.199 of the bells and whistles with this thing, you can 1357 01:06:33.239 --> 01:06:35.679 check it out. It's got a double walled rigid box, 1358 01:06:35.760 --> 01:06:38.519 inner steel book packaging and a sixty four page art book. 1359 01:06:38.559 --> 01:06:41.559 With this, it will have additional bonus blu ray disc 1360 01:06:41.639 --> 01:06:44.719 with extra feedures all that fun stuff. But of course, 1361 01:06:44.760 --> 01:06:47.840 at the same time they're also doing Labyrinth and essentially 1362 01:06:47.920 --> 01:06:50.559 identical style packaging. It's the same steel books that have 1363 01:06:50.599 --> 01:06:53.880 come out previously. Nothing new on that front. None of 1364 01:06:53.880 --> 01:06:56.280 the extras are going to be new, but I'm sure 1365 01:06:56.280 --> 01:06:57.559 these have blazer discs. 1366 01:06:58.000 --> 01:07:01.119 Yeah, the dark crystal Japanese one, it's really cool. 1367 01:07:03.840 --> 01:07:06.840 Interesting is that? How rare is that one? 1368 01:07:08.199 --> 01:07:11.280 I don't think it's crazy rare. This is an old press. 1369 01:07:11.480 --> 01:07:12.960 This is like, this is not going to be like 1370 01:07:13.000 --> 01:07:15.320 the best looking one, but the cover is really great. 1371 01:07:16.079 --> 01:07:18.519 And then just this one is not really worth a 1372 01:07:18.519 --> 01:07:20.599 ton of time thinking about. But you notice they never 1373 01:07:20.639 --> 01:07:23.519 really change his Labyrinth cover. Yeah, so it makes me 1374 01:07:23.639 --> 01:07:26.639 believe that there's like some reason that this guy has 1375 01:07:26.679 --> 01:07:29.960 to be somewhere dead center on the cover. So that's 1376 01:07:29.960 --> 01:07:32.840 why it never changes. So anytime you get Labyrinth, you 1377 01:07:32.840 --> 01:07:33.920 always have that on the cover. 1378 01:07:35.000 --> 01:07:38.679 Yep, there's got to be some sort of you know, 1379 01:07:39.079 --> 01:07:41.360 not only just contract of him, but obviously he can't 1380 01:07:41.360 --> 01:07:44.679 approve another likeness. He can't sign off on anything. The 1381 01:07:44.800 --> 01:07:47.519 estate probably doesn't even want to consider signing off on 1382 01:07:47.559 --> 01:07:50.280 any of it. So yeah, we're kind of stuck with it. 1383 01:07:50.320 --> 01:07:52.719 And I believe if I remember right, that Labyrinth one 1384 01:07:52.760 --> 01:07:53.960 is Drew Strusan. 1385 01:07:54.320 --> 01:07:54.559 Is it? 1386 01:07:55.159 --> 01:08:02.119 I think so it It certainly looks like it at. 1387 01:08:02.000 --> 01:08:04.280 Least right, it does look like it. I mean it's 1388 01:08:04.320 --> 01:08:06.960 not bad art. It's just the same one for forty. 1389 01:08:06.760 --> 01:08:12.199 Yeah, for everything forever. Eddie says, Japanese lazer covers were 1390 01:08:12.199 --> 01:08:14.800 the best to let my last Starfighter framed. Nice, I'm sure. 1391 01:08:14.880 --> 01:08:16.800 Yeah, that's a beautiful It's a beautiful one. That is 1392 01:08:17.640 --> 01:08:21.479 that one is becoming more and more valuable, so keep it, 1393 01:08:21.640 --> 01:08:23.239 especially if you have the Obie. If you have the 1394 01:08:23.279 --> 01:08:26.000 Obie as the side strip, if you get I believe 1395 01:08:26.039 --> 01:08:28.560 the Obie on that is shiny foil, so you have that. 1396 01:08:29.319 --> 01:08:32.039 If you have the Shiny Foil Obi, you got a 1397 01:08:32.079 --> 01:08:33.680 lot of You got some good money there. 1398 01:08:34.199 --> 01:08:38.560 Nice all right? Next up, July seventh, g Kids and 1399 01:08:38.640 --> 01:08:41.199 Shout are working together on a Blu Ray release of 1400 01:08:41.239 --> 01:08:44.000 All You Need Is Kill from twenty twenty five. I've 1401 01:08:44.000 --> 01:08:46.520 heard this is very great. Have not seen this? This 1402 01:08:46.560 --> 01:08:48.720 will have a director scene breakdown on the disc director 1403 01:08:48.760 --> 01:08:52.680 and cast pre screening, discussion, storyboards with director commentary, art gallery, teasers, 1404 01:08:52.680 --> 01:08:56.600 and trailers. That being said, again, if you're like a 1405 01:08:56.640 --> 01:09:00.560 format whrror or somebody that loves steel books, ge kids 1406 01:09:00.560 --> 01:09:04.720 in Shout have been sort of like leaking or pre 1407 01:09:04.960 --> 01:09:08.119 listing some of the Blu ray releases and then listing 1408 01:09:08.199 --> 01:09:10.560 a four K on some of their titles and maybe 1409 01:09:10.600 --> 01:09:12.760 within a couple months doing like a four K steal book. 1410 01:09:12.840 --> 01:09:14.439 So you might want to hold out on this. This 1411 01:09:14.479 --> 01:09:16.840 isn't going to be super limited, but if it's one 1412 01:09:16.880 --> 01:09:19.600 you're after, just keep an eye out. They technically haven't 1413 01:09:19.600 --> 01:09:21.520 even announced everything for this month. This is just one 1414 01:09:21.520 --> 01:09:24.920 that came out early, so we can keep an eye 1415 01:09:24.920 --> 01:09:26.640 out for more on that one. Have you seen this one? 1416 01:09:26.880 --> 01:09:27.520 I'm assuming not. 1417 01:09:27.800 --> 01:09:29.720 No, I haven't seen it, but it's interesting. 1418 01:09:30.279 --> 01:09:35.239 Yeah. Next up, one more of those retro VHS releases, 1419 01:09:35.319 --> 01:09:38.359 nineteen eighty eight's Sunset is coming on June twenty third 1420 01:09:38.399 --> 01:09:41.720 from Alliance.

Trouble is Earp has been hired as a 1423 01:09:46.119 --> 01:09:48.279 technical expert on the film, So the Old West and 1424 01:09:48.319 --> 01:09:51.079 the New Hollywood Colyde becoming a vivid backdrop for a 1425 01:09:51.119 --> 01:09:54.560 shocking murder mystery. This one has James Garner, Bruce Willis, 1426 01:09:54.560 --> 01:09:58.439 Blakekeek Edwards, Kathleen Quinlan. Do we have a laser disc 1427 01:09:58.600 --> 01:09:59.399 for some Yeah? 1428 01:09:59.520 --> 01:10:01.039 You do have a The Sunset? 1429 01:10:01.880 --> 01:10:03.159 Nice it's the. 1430 01:10:03.159 --> 01:10:05.920 Same cover because they did again they just stuck their 1431 01:10:06.239 --> 01:10:11.239 the vhslasers. I haven't seen this, but this looks actually interesting. Yeah, 1432 01:10:11.520 --> 01:10:13.960 I honestly think this could be fun. It's like really 1433 01:10:14.039 --> 01:10:15.399 late Blake Edwards. 1434 01:10:15.680 --> 01:10:18.319 So and very early Bruce Willison. 1435 01:10:18.439 --> 01:10:20.199 Yeah. Picture a little bit of old man movie in 1436 01:10:20.239 --> 01:10:24.680 some ways, but like sometimes they're fun, I will say, 1437 01:10:24.680 --> 01:10:27.640 though rarely a director's last movies are the good are 1438 01:10:27.680 --> 01:10:28.239 the good stuff? 1439 01:10:28.239 --> 01:10:31.359 But you never said? But true unless they die out expectedly. 1440 01:10:31.520 --> 01:10:34.560 Yeah, or it's cooperrect right true? 1441 01:10:34.600 --> 01:10:34.840 True? 1442 01:10:34.840 --> 01:10:36.199 Well, I guess he died unexpectedly. 1443 01:10:37.079 --> 01:10:39.479 That's true. I guess I was wrong. I forgot there 1444 01:10:39.479 --> 01:10:42.119 was one more we got. Nineteen eighty four's Love Lines 1445 01:10:42.199 --> 01:10:45.119 also coming to this Alliance retro VHS. This is on 1446 01:10:45.359 --> 01:10:48.079 June twenty third. I have to think this one at 1447 01:10:48.079 --> 01:10:48.640 a leisure. 1448 01:10:48.439 --> 01:10:50.720 Does it does not. Unfortunately I thought it would too. 1449 01:10:50.800 --> 01:10:52.359 I was certain it did, but it did not. 1450 01:10:53.680 --> 01:10:57.960 Interesting, very interesting. Yeah, I've never seen this movie. Fun 1451 01:10:58.000 --> 01:10:59.840 cover on this. Have you seen this one? No? 1452 01:11:00.319 --> 01:11:02.399 This looked I was like actually hoping they had a 1453 01:11:02.439 --> 01:11:04.119 lectend just to see it because it looked interesting. 1454 01:11:04.960 --> 01:11:07.399 Nice. Uh, yeah, this is one I'd be curious to 1455 01:11:07.399 --> 01:11:09.159 see if anybody in the chat I seen. I'd love 1456 01:11:09.159 --> 01:11:10.760 to hear some feedback on that one's cut. 1457 01:11:10.880 --> 01:11:13.119 Like, if those are all priced decently, I think a 1458 01:11:13.159 --> 01:11:15.600 lot of those movies are worth checking out. I think 1459 01:11:15.720 --> 01:11:16.800 they're interesting things. 1460 01:11:17.439 --> 01:11:19.800 So here's the problem. When Milk Creek was releasing these 1461 01:11:19.880 --> 01:11:21.880 and it was all you know, the sony titles they were, 1462 01:11:22.000 --> 01:11:23.680 they were able to be got for like twelve bucks. 1463 01:11:23.760 --> 01:11:24.199 Yeah, I remember. 1464 01:11:24.239 --> 01:11:26.520 These are now listed on all the third party retailers 1465 01:11:26.600 --> 01:11:28.760 right now for twenty seven ninety nine. 1466 01:11:29.239 --> 01:11:34.640 Wow, that's crazy for a Bearbones Alliance Blu ray with 1467 01:11:34.760 --> 01:11:36.359 a retro VHS slipcover. 1468 01:11:36.439 --> 01:11:39.399 And that's it. That's crazy dollars, Brian. 1469 01:11:39.600 --> 01:11:43.760 That's not I was thinking there maybe sixteen seventeen dollars. 1470 01:11:44.079 --> 01:11:46.439 They popped up for pre order on Amazon and it 1471 01:11:46.520 --> 01:11:48.600 said twenty seven ninety nine. I went, okay, it's Amazon 1472 01:11:48.640 --> 01:11:50.680 pre order, that'll drop, It'll be at most you know, 1473 01:11:50.680 --> 01:11:52.880 it's been a few years, Okay, seventeen ninety nine, eighteen 1474 01:11:52.920 --> 01:11:55.119 ninety nine, something like that, and then on third party 1475 01:11:55.119 --> 01:11:59.680 of retail, Atomic has it for twenty seven ninety nine. 1476 01:11:59.399 --> 01:12:00.359 That's rough. 1477 01:12:01.560 --> 01:12:04.359 I'm sorry these are not worth twenty seven to ninety nine. 1478 01:12:04.279 --> 01:12:06.560 Especially because noways seen these movies, these are all things 1479 01:12:06.600 --> 01:12:09.960 are so deep and like an archive of an archive 1480 01:12:10.039 --> 01:12:10.960 of an archive. 1481 01:12:11.640 --> 01:12:14.119 And it's great. Some of them have have not been 1482 01:12:14.119 --> 01:12:17.760 released on Blu Ray before, so that's exciting. But my goodness, 1483 01:12:18.079 --> 01:12:21.279 not Oh gosh, that's that's a lot of money for these, 1484 01:12:22.359 --> 01:12:26.279 all right. Warcraft from twenty sixteen is getting a ten 1485 01:12:26.359 --> 01:12:29.760 year anniversary four K steel book on June sixteenth from Universal. 1486 01:12:30.399 --> 01:12:33.279 Nothing new on the disc, just the exact same disc, 1487 01:12:33.800 --> 01:12:36.560 ten year anniversary steel book. I'm not a warcraft guy, 1488 01:12:36.600 --> 01:12:38.520 you're not a fantasy guy. Is this a movie you've seen? 1489 01:12:38.880 --> 01:12:40.760 No? No, it's a no, I've never seen this. 1490 01:12:41.960 --> 01:12:43.960 From what I hear, is not terrible, but it also 1491 01:12:43.960 --> 01:12:46.920 supposedly clued in on a possible sequel, and then it bombed, 1492 01:12:46.960 --> 01:12:52.079 so they did nothing with it so a little open ended. Yeah. 1493 01:12:52.119 --> 01:12:56.239 Next up, speaking of odds, Stinking nineteen sixty two is 1494 01:12:56.279 --> 01:12:58.840 to Kill a Mockingbird getting a four K steel Book 1495 01:12:58.880 --> 01:13:01.680 on June sixteenth. Again, had already been out on four K. 1496 01:13:01.800 --> 01:13:04.560 This is not like a brand new premiere or anything 1497 01:13:04.640 --> 01:13:08.159 like that. I just this has to have a laser disc. No, 1498 01:13:08.239 --> 01:13:08.960 it does? It does? 1499 01:13:09.760 --> 01:13:12.239 It does? I didn't actually bring it. Could do to 1500 01:13:12.239 --> 01:13:13.880 a small mix a bit. It actually has a special 1501 01:13:14.079 --> 01:13:18.520 edition laser disc and it's part of what's called the 1502 01:13:18.600 --> 01:13:21.720 Signature series of laser discs from Universal, and most of 1503 01:13:21.720 --> 01:13:24.319 the special features actually are on the laser disc. The 1504 01:13:24.319 --> 01:13:26.239 big old gatefold and had a bunch of stuff, but 1505 01:13:26.960 --> 01:13:29.239 I forgot it and I didn't bring it. 1506 01:13:30.520 --> 01:13:34.600 Oh that's too bad. That's sorry. You shared three copies 1507 01:13:34.640 --> 01:13:36.640 of one thing early. You're ahead of the game. I 1508 01:13:36.640 --> 01:13:40.119 got com nineteen ninety six is a racer. We had 1509 01:13:40.159 --> 01:13:42.159 talked about this one coming to four K steal Book. Well, 1510 01:13:42.239 --> 01:13:44.640 they also revealed that it will be getting a standard 1511 01:13:44.640 --> 01:13:47.439 four K. Those are both coming on June sixteenth in 1512 01:13:47.479 --> 01:13:49.840 the US. That'll be June fifteenth in the UK. This 1513 01:13:49.840 --> 01:13:52.479 will have new special features. We got reinventing the modern 1514 01:13:52.520 --> 01:13:55.680 action hero, the Evolution of Arnold, and then nineties action 1515 01:13:55.840 --> 01:13:59.640 thriller Reimagined. I'm hearing the sound of a sleeve. 1516 01:14:00.960 --> 01:14:06.079 Look that's the Japanese one. Yeah, somebody was asking in 1517 01:14:06.119 --> 01:14:10.039 the chat, does about rot? So the classic edition or 1518 01:14:10.079 --> 01:14:12.920 a classic laser just that tends to rot? Is the 1519 01:14:13.039 --> 01:14:17.199 US edition of a racer almost always is rotted. But 1520 01:14:17.239 --> 01:14:20.520 the Japanese one plays perfectly and has a better cover. Anyways, 1521 01:14:21.840 --> 01:14:24.279 But I would say this movie did not need a 1522 01:14:24.399 --> 01:14:26.000 four K for most of it, although some of them 1523 01:14:26.079 --> 01:14:28.119 might look good, but the visual effects are going to 1524 01:14:28.159 --> 01:14:28.760 look rough. 1525 01:14:29.520 --> 01:14:32.319 Yeah they are unless they spent way more than they 1526 01:14:32.600 --> 01:14:33.720 definitely did not know. 1527 01:14:35.640 --> 01:14:36.720 They didn't do it for X Men. 1528 01:14:36.720 --> 01:14:38.600 They're never going to do it for a racer, right 1529 01:14:39.279 --> 01:14:42.760 Zepam is talking about this artwork? Good lord, this artwork. 1530 01:14:42.800 --> 01:14:44.640 Eh, yeah, it's not good. 1531 01:14:45.359 --> 01:14:47.640 But the really bad photoshop. 1532 01:14:47.119 --> 01:14:49.680 I saw the what the special edition one had a 1533 01:14:49.680 --> 01:14:50.319 different artwork? 1534 01:14:50.399 --> 01:14:55.800 Right? The seal book looks pretty nice, very very green. Yeah, 1535 01:14:55.880 --> 01:14:59.079 that one looks decent at the very least. Yeah, it's fine, 1536 01:14:59.119 --> 01:15:00.399 It's not certainly not bad. 1537 01:15:00.760 --> 01:15:02.319 I kind of like this movie, though, to be honest. 1538 01:15:02.359 --> 01:15:05.119 I put it on this morning when I was biking, 1539 01:15:05.199 --> 01:15:08.600 and I have no real complaints about it. It's exactly 1540 01:15:08.600 --> 01:15:10.720 it's like Arnold at the height of Arnold, Like if 1541 01:15:10.760 --> 01:15:14.600 you like Schwarzeneger movies, so you basically like all those classics. 1542 01:15:14.920 --> 01:15:16.920 Then you get a racer and then went at the 1543 01:15:17.000 --> 01:15:20.319 end of Days and then the sixth Man, sixth Day, 1544 01:15:20.880 --> 01:15:23.680 and then it's all over. So like it's not so bad. 1545 01:15:24.800 --> 01:15:27.920 Yeah, I mean I like Arnold quite a bit. Yeah, 1546 01:15:27.960 --> 01:15:31.199 I'm into it. Lionsgate Limited had some announcements this week 1547 01:15:31.279 --> 01:15:33.439 May nineteenth that they are doing a four K Blu 1548 01:15:33.560 --> 01:15:37.319 ray dual format of Ginger Snaps. This is just the 1549 01:15:37.359 --> 01:15:40.319 first film from two thousand. This is number thirty nine 1550 01:15:40.399 --> 01:15:43.000 in their vestro On video collection, which means this is 1551 01:15:43.039 --> 01:15:46.640 the second four KUHD from vest On, the first being 1552 01:15:46.680 --> 01:15:49.479 the substitute. This will have a lot of the legacy 1553 01:15:49.520 --> 01:15:52.479 special features from the previous second Site release. The lions 1554 01:15:52.520 --> 01:15:55.720 Gate Limited new extra will be called the Packed Ginger 1555 01:15:55.800 --> 01:15:59.760 Snaps Forever. There is the second site that Brian's got there. 1556 01:16:00.760 --> 01:16:04.039 This is the inside sleeve art which is the original poster, 1557 01:16:04.199 --> 01:16:06.880 and then another new copy of the new art. I 1558 01:16:06.960 --> 01:16:09.640 gotta admit not a huge Ginger Snaps guy never loved 1559 01:16:09.640 --> 01:16:10.960 this movie. Any thoughts on this for you? 1560 01:16:11.079 --> 01:16:13.119 Oh, I like this. I only saw the first one, 1561 01:16:13.159 --> 01:16:15.880 but the first one I think is pretty good. I 1562 01:16:15.920 --> 01:16:19.399 actually saw it in the theaters. You said it's kind 1563 01:16:19.399 --> 01:16:21.520 of in two thousand, but I remember seeing in two 1564 01:16:21.560 --> 01:16:27.399 thousand and one. But maybe maybe I am wrong, But yeah, yeah, 1565 01:16:27.479 --> 01:16:28.840 I think I saw in New York. But anyways, I 1566 01:16:28.920 --> 01:16:29.960 thought the first one was cool. 1567 01:16:30.920 --> 01:16:32.920 Yeah, I mean it's it's certainly the best of the 1568 01:16:32.960 --> 01:16:35.880 three by far, I am. I mean, I don't know 1569 01:16:35.920 --> 01:16:38.399 if I should be surprised. Vestern On has been quite 1570 01:16:38.520 --> 01:16:42.199 lazy lately, but I am surprised when Second Site already 1571 01:16:42.199 --> 01:16:44.520 had a trilogy Blu ray out and it did very well. 1572 01:16:44.800 --> 01:16:46.600 I'm kind of surprised they didn't just do four K 1573 01:16:46.680 --> 01:16:48.640 on all three of them, because that would have enticed 1574 01:16:48.680 --> 01:16:49.760 a lot more people to buy. 1575 01:16:50.000 --> 01:16:52.960 Yeah, I'm surprised too. I wonder what the I wonder 1576 01:16:53.119 --> 01:16:53.800 what did they shoot? 1577 01:16:53.800 --> 01:16:53.920 Two? 1578 01:16:53.960 --> 01:16:54.279 And three? 1579 01:16:54.279 --> 01:16:54.399 Are? 1580 01:16:54.560 --> 01:16:55.840 Like? What years do come out? 1581 01:16:56.039 --> 01:16:58.880 Yeah? Those, I mean they had to have been fairly 1582 01:16:58.960 --> 01:16:59.720 quick after that. 1583 01:17:00.680 --> 01:17:04.359 Do I have it right here? I could love? I 1584 01:17:04.399 --> 01:17:06.439 wish I could look. I'm old and I need glasses. 1585 01:17:06.720 --> 01:17:09.000 I have a feeling the third one was probably not 1586 01:17:09.079 --> 01:17:09.720 on film. 1587 01:17:10.479 --> 01:17:12.439 The thing is also if they get into that hairy 1588 01:17:12.479 --> 01:17:15.039 area where everybody just has these two KDIs it's like 1589 01:17:15.640 --> 01:17:17.640 there's no you can't do anything. 1590 01:17:17.880 --> 01:17:20.159 Well, here's the thing. At least put them, you know, 1591 01:17:20.199 --> 01:17:21.680 put the four K of the first one and put 1592 01:17:21.680 --> 01:17:24.279 a blu ray of the next two. Yeah, tes true, 1593 01:17:25.039 --> 01:17:26.720 because I don't think the second and third one I've 1594 01:17:26.720 --> 01:17:28.920 had blu ray releases in the States, although I may 1595 01:17:28.960 --> 01:17:32.279 be not remembering anyways. This is not the only lines 1596 01:17:32.319 --> 01:17:35.000 Gate Limited release this month. We also have Hearts of 1597 01:17:35.079 --> 01:17:39.119 Darkness from nineteen ninety one, the documentary about Apocalypse Now 1598 01:17:39.159 --> 01:17:41.520 and the making of this is. Those two releases, by 1599 01:17:41.560 --> 01:17:44.800 the way, are coming from lines Gate Limited on May 1600 01:17:44.880 --> 01:17:48.600 nineteenth on.

And I'm hearing 1609 01:18:20.399 --> 01:18:22.000 a sleeve again. Do we have something for this? 1610 01:18:22.800 --> 01:18:24.840 Sorry, I should move my microphone. 1611 01:18:25.039 --> 01:18:26.119 No, you're good, You're good. 1612 01:18:26.479 --> 01:18:30.920 That's the laser disc. I actually love this movie. I 1613 01:18:30.960 --> 01:18:33.239 sort of balked at the cost of the UK one, 1614 01:18:33.239 --> 01:18:36.680 but I might get this one. That's if it's not unreasonable, 1615 01:18:36.720 --> 01:18:40.840 because this is a super If anybody's interested in what 1616 01:18:40.880 --> 01:18:43.199 it's like to make a movie, especially like seventy eight 1617 01:18:43.239 --> 01:18:47.760 seventy nine, that is great. Yeah it was really great. Yeah, 1618 01:18:47.760 --> 01:18:50.439 nothing but praise for that movie. Five star movie. 1619 01:18:50.680 --> 01:18:53.800 I also just love documentaries about making movies. They're always 1620 01:18:53.840 --> 01:18:58.760 at least fun, although sometimes not very good. All right, 1621 01:18:58.960 --> 01:19:01.760 next up, King of Not very Good. June twenty third, 1622 01:19:01.800 --> 01:19:03.880 we got a blu ray coming from Sony of I 1623 01:19:03.920 --> 01:19:06.760 Know What You Did last summer the complete series. This 1624 01:19:06.920 --> 01:19:10.720 was an Amazon original show that they did about five 1625 01:19:10.800 --> 01:19:13.800 years ago. I saw the remake of the movie last 1626 01:19:13.880 --> 01:19:16.199 year and hated it. And from what I hear, this 1627 01:19:16.319 --> 01:19:18.319 is better than the movie that came out last year, 1628 01:19:18.560 --> 01:19:20.720 but still bad. Any thoughts. I'm sure you did not 1629 01:19:20.760 --> 01:19:21.039 see this. 1630 01:19:21.119 --> 01:19:22.840 No, I didn't see this. I do like the first 1631 01:19:22.840 --> 01:19:23.680 two movies. 1632 01:19:23.399 --> 01:19:29.720 Though, Yeah, the first two are fine, they're they're okay. Next, 1633 01:19:29.800 --> 01:19:31.840 we got a weird one here June twenty third, we 1634 01:19:31.880 --> 01:19:34.199 got a Blu ray coming from Decal here in the 1635 01:19:34.239 --> 01:19:39.000 States of Julia du Carnot's Alpha from this year in 1636 01:19:39.039 --> 01:19:42.319 the US last year in the UK. Wanted to remind 1637 01:19:42.359 --> 01:19:45.560 everybody when I posted this that Curzone just recently released 1638 01:19:45.560 --> 01:19:47.640 this in four K and the US isn't even getting 1639 01:19:47.680 --> 01:19:49.520 a pressed Blu ray. This is going to be a 1640 01:19:49.560 --> 01:19:53.039 mod Blu ray. This is a bad choice. I don't 1641 01:19:53.159 --> 01:19:56.279 understand why they're essentially telling everybody, yeah, we don't care, 1642 01:19:56.399 --> 01:19:58.439 just go buy the UK version. This will have an 1643 01:19:58.479 --> 01:20:00.199 interview with the director on it and a ta are 1644 01:20:00.199 --> 01:20:03.880 in a trailer. I have not yet gotten to see 1645 01:20:03.880 --> 01:20:05.600 this one. Is this one that you've been able to see? 1646 01:20:05.800 --> 01:20:07.920 Yeah, I haven't seen it, but I have a couple 1647 01:20:07.920 --> 01:20:10.479 of friends who saw it, and they were actually kind 1648 01:20:10.479 --> 01:20:11.880 of pushing me to see it at the end of 1649 01:20:11.960 --> 01:20:14.640 last year. They were like, this movie is great. They 1650 01:20:14.720 --> 01:20:17.760 thought it was like, really like the kind of movie 1651 01:20:17.760 --> 01:20:20.079 that I would like. So I'm assuming that means it's 1652 01:20:20.119 --> 01:20:24.960 like somewhat dirty, somewhat subversive, a little bit dark, but 1653 01:20:25.680 --> 01:20:28.399 very French, I think, but I would hope. 1654 01:20:28.399 --> 01:20:30.520 So have you seen all of our other stuff? All 1655 01:20:30.840 --> 01:20:31.359 both of them? 1656 01:20:31.760 --> 01:20:35.079 Noah, I think the only two others, right, I saw 1657 01:20:35.199 --> 01:20:37.680 one of them. I'm trying to remember what were the 1658 01:20:37.720 --> 01:20:39.800 titles again, because I know I went to the theater 1659 01:20:39.920 --> 01:20:43.399 with them. Yeah, it doesn't matter, but yeah, that looks interesting. 1660 01:20:43.399 --> 01:20:45.680 I mean, I think that movie looks interesting. It's too bad. 1661 01:20:45.680 --> 01:20:48.239 I got a crap release in the States, but totally interesting. 1662 01:20:48.680 --> 01:20:50.720 Yep, that's right, I got the UK one. We're good. 1663 01:20:52.159 --> 01:20:55.159 We also had an exciting week because we got Manda 1664 01:20:55.199 --> 01:20:59.359 Macabre announcements. All of these are going to becoming mid June. 1665 01:20:59.399 --> 01:21:02.760 They're gonna be for pre order on It's gonna be 1666 01:21:02.800 --> 01:21:05.640 live on Thursday May seventh at ten am Pacific, one 1667 01:21:05.760 --> 01:21:09.159 pm Eastern. And I love Mondo MiCab Broa. Do you 1668 01:21:09.239 --> 01:21:12.760 have an ongoing history with Monta micav Robrian. Uh? 1669 01:21:14.119 --> 01:21:20.560 Yeah, all those I have, like I don't know fifty 1670 01:21:20.600 --> 01:21:23.520 of them or so nice? I think I don't I 1671 01:21:23.560 --> 01:21:28.760 think you actually, I think no, it was I'm sorry. 1672 01:21:28.840 --> 01:21:33.279 There's a DVD that they put out of Indonesian action movies. 1673 01:21:33.640 --> 01:21:35.520 So I bought that one and then I think it 1674 01:21:35.600 --> 01:21:37.600 was actually your show. One of the early times I 1675 01:21:37.640 --> 01:21:40.640 watched or listened to an archive episode where that you 1676 01:21:40.640 --> 01:21:43.520 were talking to the Mondo people, and I was like, huh, 1677 01:21:43.600 --> 01:21:45.920 And then I looked them up and then I basically 1678 01:21:45.960 --> 01:21:48.600 pre order every time they come out because there's like 1679 01:21:49.520 --> 01:21:52.640 some of them I haven't loved, but they're always interesting 1680 01:21:52.880 --> 01:21:57.359 and they're always weird, and they're done with love. You 1681 01:21:57.399 --> 01:21:59.439 can tell like their try like even when there's not 1682 01:21:59.479 --> 01:22:02.319 many a special features, you can be like, oh, this 1683 01:22:02.399 --> 01:22:04.600 is what they could get or this is what they 1684 01:22:04.600 --> 01:22:08.039 could figure out. And I think they're I think there's 1685 01:22:08.039 --> 01:22:09.760 only like one that I really didn't. 1686 01:22:09.560 --> 01:22:14.800 Like so interesting. Yeah, I I can only think of 1687 01:22:15.079 --> 01:22:20.119 maybe three that I like. I actively disliked every single one, 1688 01:22:20.119 --> 01:22:23.800 though I've enjoyed watching. They're a blast. This first title 1689 01:22:24.399 --> 01:22:26.960 is interesting because I don't think they've done this before. 1690 01:22:27.079 --> 01:22:30.800 We've got a limited four K release coming and a 1691 01:22:30.920 --> 01:22:33.279 limited Blu Ray release coming. The four K release is 1692 01:22:33.279 --> 01:22:35.760 gonna have a slipcover and a black case, and then 1693 01:22:35.760 --> 01:22:37.600 the Blu Ray release is going to have a red 1694 01:22:37.640 --> 01:22:40.119 case like they always do. The four k's limited to 1695 01:22:40.159 --> 01:22:43.199 twelve hundred copies, blu rays limited to five hundred copies, 1696 01:22:43.479 --> 01:22:45.880 and they're all going to be limited, hand numbered or 1697 01:22:45.920 --> 01:22:48.319 not hand numbered, but individually numbered like they always are. 1698 01:22:48.680 --> 01:22:51.520 And this first title is The Blood Rose from nineteen seventy. 1699 01:22:52.119 --> 01:22:54.359 This is one that they had released previously on DVD, 1700 01:22:54.560 --> 01:22:57.000 so this is an upgrade for them, going up two 1701 01:22:57.079 --> 01:23:01.279 separate formats. This is a movie that I need to 1702 01:23:01.319 --> 01:23:03.119 watch again. It's been a long time, but I remember 1703 01:23:03.199 --> 01:23:05.199 enjoying it. At least we got a new four K 1704 01:23:05.279 --> 01:23:08.000 restoration from the original negative. We got an interview with 1705 01:23:08.039 --> 01:23:11.199 the producer on here, interview with Hubert and George Bauman, 1706 01:23:11.479 --> 01:23:15.279 interview with the cinematographer and memories of Claude Muloau by 1707 01:23:15.279 --> 01:23:19.079 Brigitte la Hey, archival interview with d DA Philip Girard 1708 01:23:19.319 --> 01:23:23.159 French and US trailers, publicity parade of Steel's posters and 1709 01:23:23.239 --> 01:23:25.760 video sleeves, some radio spots.

The Blood Rows. Have you 1714 01:23:36.680 --> 01:23:37.239 seen this one. 1715 01:23:38.439 --> 01:23:40.560 No, I mean, none of these I've seen, but looks 1716 01:23:40.600 --> 01:23:41.279 interesting to me. 1717 01:23:42.119 --> 01:23:44.399 Yeah, I've not seen any of these either, that is 1718 01:23:44.439 --> 01:23:46.479 for sure. One of these, though, is gonna be really 1719 01:23:46.520 --> 01:23:49.279 fun to talk about. Yeah, the Devil's about to leave 1720 01:23:49.319 --> 01:23:52.439 AMC plus, thanks for shouting that out. Good movie. Everybody 1721 01:23:52.439 --> 01:23:53.279 should see the least one. 1722 01:23:53.359 --> 01:23:55.119 I love The Devil, that movie. 1723 01:23:55.720 --> 01:24:00.960 That movie rocks well. And I don't normally rumor monger 1724 01:24:01.039 --> 01:24:03.239 on he or anything like that. Rumor is we might 1725 01:24:03.359 --> 01:24:06.560 finally be hearing about an actual decent physical release of 1726 01:24:06.560 --> 01:24:10.159 that here pretty soon, so amazing. I sure hope that 1727 01:24:10.279 --> 01:24:12.319 rumor is is panning out to be true. 1728 01:24:12.600 --> 01:24:15.359 I've actually started watching a lot of Ken Russell movies recently. 1729 01:24:15.920 --> 01:24:19.479 I first, I don't think I like them, but I 1730 01:24:19.640 --> 01:24:23.560 really grown on me. He is a very like singular 1731 01:24:23.680 --> 01:24:27.920 style that, you know what. I respect the fact that 1732 01:24:27.960 --> 01:24:31.800 he's doing something different. So yeah, it's cool. 1733 01:24:32.039 --> 01:24:34.600 The the flashy fever dream that he pulls off on 1734 01:24:34.720 --> 01:24:37.760 almost every single movie is always fun and uh yeah, 1735 01:24:37.800 --> 01:24:43.520 it's a good time. We like hearing the purring though 1736 01:24:43.560 --> 01:24:44.800 you don't have to mute It's okay. 1737 01:24:44.920 --> 01:24:47.039 I didn't. I didn't want to bother my cat was 1738 01:24:47.119 --> 01:24:49.560 yelling for me, so I can call my cat and 1739 01:24:49.640 --> 01:24:56.119 she comes. My cat has one eye, oh and she's old, 1740 01:24:56.640 --> 01:24:58.640 and so usually at this point of the night she's 1741 01:24:58.840 --> 01:25:01.239 she's on top of me, and she was confused why 1742 01:25:01.239 --> 01:25:04.319 I wasn't in my spot, in one of my two spots. 1743 01:25:04.720 --> 01:25:07.319 So I called her up and she sits on my lap. 1744 01:25:07.960 --> 01:25:12.960 Nice all right. Next up is from Monna Macabre. Still, 1745 01:25:13.000 --> 01:25:16.000 we got Morbo from nineteen seventy two. They had revealed 1746 01:25:16.079 --> 01:25:19.520 previously that this was coming. We've got the art here 1747 01:25:19.680 --> 01:25:23.520 and the reverse of the sleeve. This one is supposedly 1748 01:25:23.520 --> 01:25:26.159 the Pretty Great. This is a film that a lot 1749 01:25:26.199 --> 01:25:28.239 of people have been waiting for for a long time. 1750 01:25:28.520 --> 01:25:30.760 This will be region free. We got a brand new 1751 01:25:30.760 --> 01:25:33.279 four K restoration from the original negative. You got the 1752 01:25:33.319 --> 01:25:35.640 English or Spanish audio on this one with the English 1753 01:25:35.640 --> 01:25:39.239 subtitles profile in the Career of Anna Belan. We got 1754 01:25:39.279 --> 01:25:41.960 an interview with the Citrus Film Festival director Angel Sala 1755 01:25:41.960 --> 01:25:44.880 about the film, audio commentary by Rod and Troy from 1756 01:25:44.960 --> 01:25:47.359 the Nashy cast. And then if you get the limited 1757 01:25:47.399 --> 01:25:49.279 you get a reversible sleeve with new art by Justin 1758 01:25:49.319 --> 01:25:51.520 Coffee on the A side and the original ad art 1759 01:25:51.520 --> 01:25:53.920 on the b set of art cards, full color bookt 1760 01:25:54.000 --> 01:25:56.800 new writing in the film by Spanish film expert Ishmael Fernandez. 1761 01:25:57.000 --> 01:25:59.560 And this is going to be limited to a thousand copies, 1762 01:26:00.079 --> 01:26:03.119 only a thousand. You have you heard about this one 1763 01:26:03.159 --> 01:26:04.159 before the announcements? 1764 01:26:04.439 --> 01:26:06.159 I don't think there's only one of these I had 1765 01:26:06.199 --> 01:26:07.479 heard of, and it's not this one? 1766 01:26:08.520 --> 01:26:11.319 Is it the party hat censored one? 1767 01:26:11.640 --> 01:26:11.880 Yep. 1768 01:26:12.880 --> 01:26:14.399 I can't wait to talk about that one. 1769 01:26:14.479 --> 01:26:15.880 I know a little bit about that movie. 1770 01:26:17.520 --> 01:26:21.600 Next one up is part of their Greek collection. This 1771 01:26:21.840 --> 01:26:24.720 is number six in that collection. We've got a double 1772 01:26:24.760 --> 01:26:28.880 feature of Lust in the Swamps and Secret of Sinful Athens. 1773 01:26:28.880 --> 01:26:32.039 Both of these are from nineteen sixty six.

We got a new two K restoration on 1776 01:26:37.039 --> 01:26:39.520 both from the original negatives Greek language track with the 1777 01:26:39.560 --> 01:26:45.479 optional English subtitles. Tribute to Zeta Apostolau remembering a Neestis 1778 01:26:45.720 --> 01:26:49.600 Vlahos ser v leJOS archival interview with the Nestis as well. 1779 01:26:49.680 --> 01:26:53.399 Greek poster presentation was Jacques spor trailer for Secrets of 1780 01:26:53.439 --> 01:27:00.600 sinfl Athens, a tribute to Achless Janakis. I guess Greek 1781 01:27:00.680 --> 01:27:02.359 is maybe the only thing I'm worse than French. We'll 1782 01:27:02.359 --> 01:27:07.319 see exploitation films of DaCosta carry on sinful Athens publicity parade, 1783 01:27:07.319 --> 01:27:09.720 and then the limited one will have revers will sleep 1784 01:27:09.760 --> 01:27:12.239 each highlighting of one of the two films, a set 1785 01:27:12.279 --> 01:27:13.960 of art cards, full color book that with new writing 1786 01:27:13.960 --> 01:27:16.159 about the films, and this will be only limited to 1787 01:27:16.319 --> 01:27:19.239 one thousand as well, like the last one, kind of 1788 01:27:19.279 --> 01:27:21.399 a low print run. But I get it. The last 1789 01:27:21.439 --> 01:27:24.640 few things that they've done like this did not sell 1790 01:27:24.720 --> 01:27:26.680 super well. It took a while to sell out, so 1791 01:27:26.720 --> 01:27:30.399 this is interesting. Any thoughts on the ease. 1792 01:27:31.319 --> 01:27:33.680 I honestly think it's impressive that they sell a thousand, 1793 01:27:34.319 --> 01:27:38.119 like you're really like pulling. I think it's because they 1794 01:27:38.119 --> 01:27:40.479 have a really loyal fan base. Do I bet you 1795 01:27:40.520 --> 01:27:44.239 they sell five to six hundred almost no matter what. 1796 01:27:44.800 --> 01:27:47.359 And then let's sort of like managing the rest, because 1797 01:27:49.000 --> 01:27:51.199 you know, they're a bit of a brand in a 1798 01:27:51.279 --> 01:27:54.840 vinegar syndrome way, but a much smaller version of it. 1799 01:27:54.000 --> 01:27:56.920 And I feel that they like are true to what 1800 01:27:57.079 --> 01:27:59.479 they want to be and it's like you're the into 1801 01:27:59.520 --> 01:28:01.039 it or you're not. And if you're into it, you're 1802 01:28:01.079 --> 01:28:03.000 gonna go for it, and if you're not, you know 1803 01:28:03.079 --> 01:28:03.640 they don't care. 1804 01:28:03.920 --> 01:28:07.720 Move on. That's true. That's true, all right here it is. 1805 01:28:07.800 --> 01:28:11.239 Yeah, you did center with the party had hilarious. 1806 01:28:11.239 --> 01:28:14.119 So from nineteen eighty nine, and funny enough, I didn't 1807 01:28:14.159 --> 01:28:19.239 center this. Mondo posted it like this. Mondo posted this 1808 01:28:19.279 --> 01:28:22.399 cover art. This is Marquis from nineteen eighty nine, and 1809 01:28:22.880 --> 01:28:26.840 the censoring that you see here precariously placed because under 1810 01:28:26.880 --> 01:28:31.720 this party hat is a wooden dog and it's it's 1811 01:28:32.760 --> 01:28:35.760 quite apparent what it is. So this says. Films don't 1812 01:28:35.760 --> 01:28:39.159 get much wilder than this one. The bizarre French satirical 1813 01:28:39.199 --> 01:28:43.640 Phantasmagoria Marquis making his US Blu ray debut. Imprisoned in 1814 01:28:43.680 --> 01:28:45.840 the best Steel for a minor act of blasphemy, the 1815 01:28:45.840 --> 01:28:49.680 marquee navigates lust, censorship, and the chaos of pre revolutionary 1816 01:28:49.720 --> 01:28:53.239 France through his wild imagination. He escapes into scandal's tales 1817 01:28:53.279 --> 01:28:55.680 he writes down on scraps of paper, but the idea 1818 01:28:55.680 --> 01:28:57.560 of a real escape begins to take shape when his 1819 01:28:57.600 --> 01:29:00.520 cellmates start planning their breakout to join the revolution movement 1820 01:29:00.640 --> 01:29:04.960 beyond the bastile walls. This truly astonishing film, loosely based 1821 01:29:05.000 --> 01:29:07.199 on the life of the notorious Marquis de Sade, is 1822 01:29:07.239 --> 01:29:09.359 like nothing you've ever seen before. The characters in the 1823 01:29:09.399 --> 01:29:14.479 story are all animals, dogs, cows, hens, rats, et cetera. 1824 01:29:14.840 --> 01:29:17.960 But this is not animation. The cast are played by 1825 01:29:18.000 --> 01:29:22.680 real actors, especially created life sized heads of whichever animal 1826 01:29:22.720 --> 01:29:26.119 they are portraying. The Marquis is a cheery spaniel, the 1827 01:29:26.239 --> 01:29:30.680 naive Justine is a heifer, the dominatrix Juliet is a mayor, 1828 01:29:30.760 --> 01:29:33.279 and the head of the notorious Bestille prison is a 1829 01:29:33.359 --> 01:29:37.640 sexually rapacious cockrell. And as though that wasn't enough, the 1830 01:29:37.680 --> 01:29:41.039 Marquis's constant companion of this grim prison cell is his 1831 01:29:41.239 --> 01:29:46.399 oversized talking penis, which pops out of his trousers told 1832 01:29:46.640 --> 01:29:50.680 long conversations with them about the state of the world. 1833 01:29:52.920 --> 01:29:55.439 Yeah, there was a video store in New York called 1834 01:29:55.520 --> 01:29:59.840 Kim's Video and they I love the way that they 1835 01:29:59.840 --> 01:30:03.119 were organized things. And they would organize like it was 1836 01:30:03.239 --> 01:30:09.880 a decade country director and then some genre. But they 1837 01:30:09.960 --> 01:30:13.760 also had in their French section just Marquis de Sade. 1838 01:30:14.119 --> 01:30:17.479 So there was like Justine and what is the other 1839 01:30:17.479 --> 01:30:21.279 ones that bl Underground put out? There was another one uh, 1840 01:30:21.840 --> 01:30:27.039 oh yeah, what is it? The philosophy of the boudoirs. 1841 01:30:27.159 --> 01:30:28.760 But anyway, they had a bunch of different monkeys and 1842 01:30:28.800 --> 01:30:31.800 they had this I believe it was on VHS and 1843 01:30:31.840 --> 01:30:33.800 I didn't have a VHS player there, but I remember 1844 01:30:33.880 --> 01:30:36.960 picking it up, reading the back and being like, is 1845 01:30:36.960 --> 01:30:41.079 that dog talking to his dick? And that's all I 1846 01:30:41.119 --> 01:30:42.840 knew about it? 1847 01:30:43.560 --> 01:30:47.239 Oh man, Yeah, this is uh, this is special. So 1848 01:30:47.359 --> 01:30:49.880 this one, by the way, is going to be region free, 1849 01:30:50.079 --> 01:30:52.560 brand new two K restoration from the original negative on 1850 01:30:52.600 --> 01:30:56.000 this French audio with optional English subtitles, Audio commentary with 1851 01:30:56.199 --> 01:30:59.039 the cast and crew, A making a featurette the creation 1852 01:30:59.079 --> 01:31:03.199 of Marquis Faces Beneath the Masks, a trailer and image gallery, storyboards, 1853 01:31:04.439 --> 01:31:07.640 telecat video.

This is getting a blu ray before quills. 1860 01:31:27.439 --> 01:31:32.039 Philip Kaufman's two thousand and one Marquis de Sade adaptation 1861 01:31:32.880 --> 01:31:33.760 is getting a blu ray. 1862 01:31:33.880 --> 01:31:38.960 Take that, Craig.

Speaking of selling too quick, 1875 01:32:19.359 --> 01:32:21.000 I have a feeling this one is going to go 1876 01:32:21.159 --> 01:32:25.840 fairly quickly. We've got from New Way Video in Australia. 1877 01:32:25.840 --> 01:32:31.760 They are doing Takashi Mike's wild breastfeeding movie Visitor Q 1878 01:32:31.960 --> 01:32:35.079 from two thousand and one.

Have you seen this one? 1882 01:32:43.199 --> 01:32:45.439 Yes on it. I saw it in the theater. It's 1883 01:32:46.159 --> 01:32:50.479 the Yes, yeah, I had seen audition and then I 1884 01:32:50.600 --> 01:32:54.840 believe it came like I was at an Asian film fest. 1885 01:32:54.920 --> 01:32:57.399 I believe it was like the next day they showed 1886 01:32:57.479 --> 01:33:00.800 Visitor Q been two thousand and one, right, yep, two 1887 01:33:01.079 --> 01:33:02.680 and one.

And then I saw a few 1891 01:33:11.000 --> 01:33:12.520 more and then I kind of I didn't see it 1892 01:33:12.520 --> 01:33:15.159 any for a long time. But it's I think it's 1893 01:33:15.159 --> 01:33:16.720 shot on MiniDV too, is it not? 1894 01:33:17.279 --> 01:33:19.199 It is, Yeah, this is not going to be like 1895 01:33:19.640 --> 01:33:20.960 truly high definition. 1896 01:33:21.279 --> 01:33:22.760 It's to be honest, if you're going to do a 1897 01:33:22.760 --> 01:33:24.159 mini DV film, you might as well just make it 1898 01:33:24.199 --> 01:33:26.600 blu ray.

I haven't seen Full House, 1948 01:35:58.800 --> 01:36:02.000 but they made an of them, Like you know, it's 1949 01:36:02.000 --> 01:36:04.159 a French who coined the film noir stuff and they 1950 01:36:04.239 --> 01:36:06.880 kind of like ripped it off a bit later and 1951 01:36:06.920 --> 01:36:09.680 did their own thing.

So nothing new on this disc, which 1974 01:37:17.960 --> 01:37:19.880 is interesting. Kind of surprised. 1975 01:37:20.399 --> 01:37:22.119 I've heard of this movie before. I haven't seen it, 1976 01:37:22.159 --> 01:37:23.920 but I actually heard it's a very good movie. 1977 01:37:24.520 --> 01:37:27.000 I had as well. This is I think one of 1978 01:37:27.039 --> 01:37:28.479 the two that I had heard of in this batch, 1979 01:37:28.800 --> 01:37:33.840 the last one being this one. La Travesty La Travis 1980 01:37:33.960 --> 01:37:38.119 de la Traviste. Yeah, this is nineteen eighty eight and 1981 01:37:38.399 --> 01:37:42.439 again same dates, same territories, all that fun stuff. Any 1982 01:37:42.439 --> 01:37:44.399 thoughts on this one. I feel like you've probably seen 1983 01:37:44.439 --> 01:37:44.880 this one. 1984 01:37:45.079 --> 01:37:47.880 I have seen this one also, this I mean, you 1985 01:37:47.960 --> 01:37:49.800 just kind of announced after I had came back from 1986 01:37:49.800 --> 01:37:52.159 my laser cave, so I have this on laser disc. 1987 01:37:52.560 --> 01:37:56.039 They got released in Japan, which does mean you either 1988 01:37:56.079 --> 01:38:00.000 need to you need to do a thing where you can, 1989 01:38:00.039 --> 01:38:03.359 and the Japanese subtitles into English with your Google phone 1990 01:38:03.800 --> 01:38:07.319 or are your phone. We'll have a wife that speaks 1991 01:38:07.359 --> 01:38:11.119 French and willing to translate it with you. Luckily, one 1992 01:38:11.119 --> 01:38:13.079 of those two things where it's well for me. And 1993 01:38:13.199 --> 01:38:15.439 we watched this movie during the pandemic. It's good. It's 1994 01:38:15.439 --> 01:38:16.239 a very good movie. 1995 01:38:16.840 --> 01:38:19.359 This one has a visual essay by Alexander Heller Nicholas 1996 01:38:19.359 --> 01:38:22.079 on this exploring the film's themes of gender and power. 1997 01:38:22.520 --> 01:38:25.199 And we've got a new booklet on here with a 1998 01:38:25.239 --> 01:38:27.760 new essay by Georgia Humphries, excerpts from the film's press 1999 01:38:27.840 --> 01:38:30.880 kit and an overview of critical responses, so that visual 2000 01:38:30.960 --> 01:38:32.520 essay is the only new thing on this one as well. 2001 01:38:32.600 --> 01:38:34.399 So kind of light on new stuff, but all kinds 2002 01:38:34.399 --> 01:38:38.560 of archival stuff. Not too bad. And honestly shout out 2003 01:38:38.600 --> 01:38:41.000 to Hilton, this is absolutely true. Would be surprised if 2004 01:38:41.039 --> 01:38:43.520 Keno doesn't release all three of these at some point 2005 01:38:44.199 --> 01:38:46.880 or no, I forgot this is a US release as well, 2006 01:38:47.239 --> 01:38:50.199 So yeah, indicators got both, so Keino will likely not 2007 01:38:50.319 --> 01:38:51.319 put these out ever. 2008 01:38:51.680 --> 01:38:54.319 Well, I would suggest anybody interested this is of the three, 2009 01:38:54.359 --> 01:38:57.720 this is the one that I would say pick up nice. 2010 01:38:57.840 --> 01:38:58.760 If you're only gonna get. 2011 01:38:58.600 --> 01:39:02.560 One, hey, you may have heard of this film before. 2012 01:39:03.399 --> 01:39:07.880 Evil Dead Too coming to Blu Ray in Hungary in 2013 01:39:08.000 --> 01:39:11.880 May from a brand new boutique distributor called Gehenna Films. 2014 01:39:12.560 --> 01:39:14.319 They are putting this out and there's going to be 2015 01:39:14.399 --> 01:39:17.279 English audio on the disc as well, of course, because 2016 01:39:17.319 --> 01:39:21.399 it's an English film. But I don't normally cover films 2017 01:39:21.439 --> 01:39:24.359 unless they're English friendly. The bonus features on this disc 2018 01:39:24.399 --> 01:39:26.760 are not going to be English friendly unless they are 2019 01:39:27.119 --> 01:39:30.720 in English already. They are going to have Hungarian subtitles 2020 01:39:30.760 --> 01:39:33.079 and those might be burned in not sure though. We've 2021 01:39:33.119 --> 01:39:35.760 got two different options here. Both of these are digibooks. 2022 01:39:35.760 --> 01:39:40.640 We've got exclusive artwork by a very famous Hungarian artist 2023 01:39:41.159 --> 01:39:43.760 on the first one and then the original Graham Humphrey's 2024 01:39:43.880 --> 01:39:45.840 art on the second one. Now the hard part here. 2025 01:39:45.920 --> 01:39:49.359 Even though these will be region free releases, these are 2026 01:39:49.560 --> 01:39:52.680 only allowed to be sold in a few European countries 2027 01:39:52.680 --> 01:39:56.239 outside of Hungary, like the Czech Republic, Greece, Slovakia, Romania, 2028 01:39:56.279 --> 01:39:59.880 Slovenia or Croatia. But some third party retailers and some 2029 01:40:00.079 --> 01:40:02.359 amazons might pick these up at some point. So if 2030 01:40:02.359 --> 01:40:05.399 you're like a diehard Evil Dead collector, you might want 2031 01:40:05.439 --> 01:40:08.600 to keep an eye on this one. However, this might 2032 01:40:08.640 --> 01:40:11.720 be a little more difficult to pick up at some point. 2033 01:40:12.000 --> 01:40:13.960 Do we have an Evil Dead two laser disc? 2034 01:40:14.039 --> 01:40:16.800 Well, I mean again, this is all after I left 2035 01:40:16.800 --> 01:40:19.079 the laser Cave, but when you want to speak of 2036 01:40:19.119 --> 01:40:22.239 like things that are difficult to pick up, So the 2037 01:40:22.319 --> 01:40:26.239 Evil Dead laser disc Evil Dead Too got released by 2038 01:40:26.319 --> 01:40:29.800 Elite and if you see this big pipehypesticker, it says 2039 01:40:29.960 --> 01:40:33.880 blood red laser disc. So this was one of the 2040 01:40:33.880 --> 01:40:44.199 only laser discs that was ever released blood red. 2041 01:40:44.479 --> 01:40:46.560 Whoa, that's pretty red. 2042 01:40:46.840 --> 01:40:48.960 But you know what's crazy about this is that you 2043 01:40:49.000 --> 01:40:53.199 have to remember not every laserst player is but the 2044 01:40:53.199 --> 01:40:56.119 same and a lot of people had lasers players that 2045 01:40:56.199 --> 01:40:57.239 were all the way back. 2046 01:40:57.039 --> 01:41:00.840 From like nineteen seventy eight. So they got this thing 2047 01:41:00.920 --> 01:41:03.920 and they released it, and they got endless complaints that 2048 01:41:03.960 --> 01:41:06.279 it wouldn't play, So then they released it on a 2049 01:41:06.319 --> 01:41:10.000 standard I have that one too, but that's the blood 2050 01:41:10.039 --> 01:41:10.399 red one. 2051 01:41:12.920 --> 01:41:13.359 Interesting. 2052 01:41:13.439 --> 01:41:15.640 I was going to show that later in an oddity 2053 01:41:15.680 --> 01:41:18.239 of laserness, but when that announcement came up, I was like, 2054 01:41:18.600 --> 01:41:20.239 you know what, why not? 2055 01:41:21.239 --> 01:41:26.039 That's super cool? All right? So that was the Evil 2056 01:41:26.079 --> 01:41:30.439 Dead Hungarian release that I got announced. Eureka happened to announce today, which, 2057 01:41:30.479 --> 01:41:32.479 by the way, the weird timing the end of the month, 2058 01:41:32.520 --> 01:41:35.520 which means we're getting Aero announcements tomorrow. A lot of 2059 01:41:35.560 --> 01:41:38.600 those have leaked already, but Willed is not going to 2060 01:41:38.640 --> 01:41:42.279 talk about the Aero announcements next week, so sorry Will So. Eureka. 2061 01:41:42.399 --> 01:41:44.319 July twentieth, we were getting a Blu ray in the 2062 01:41:44.439 --> 01:41:47.479 UK as part of their Masters of Cinema collection of 2063 01:41:47.640 --> 01:41:50.920 Laurel and Hardy the Silent Years from nineteen twenty nine. 2064 01:41:51.279 --> 01:41:54.319 This set contains liberty You're wrong again, that's my wife, 2065 01:41:54.399 --> 01:41:59.319 big business, unaccustomed as we are, the silent version, double Whoopee, Birthmarks, 2066 01:41:59.439 --> 01:42:03.520 Silent vers and Bacon Grabbers, and a Gora Love Silent version. 2067 01:42:04.479 --> 01:42:07.279 This is a wild looking set.

Some of my kids so 2086 01:43:04.279 --> 01:43:09.199 big business crushes with the kids. It's basically about Laurel 2087 01:43:09.279 --> 01:43:11.039 and Hardy. They try to sell Christmas trees in the 2088 01:43:11.039 --> 01:43:14.720 summer and it does not go well. I've been waiting 2089 01:43:14.720 --> 01:43:18.079 for them to release the Music Box. Anybody who has 2090 01:43:18.119 --> 01:43:19.960 small children and wants to try to get them to 2091 01:43:20.000 --> 01:43:23.399 watch something classic. It's on YouTube. It looks great on YouTube. 2092 01:43:23.720 --> 01:43:26.720 The music Box is twenty two minutes of amazing, just 2093 01:43:27.079 --> 01:43:29.680 simple comedy. These two guys try to haul a piano 2094 01:43:29.800 --> 01:43:32.279 up a flight of stairs, and that's basically the whole thing. 2095 01:43:32.640 --> 01:43:35.720 But I my kids love that thing. I showed it 2096 01:43:35.760 --> 01:43:36.800 to him so many times. 2097 01:43:38.560 --> 01:43:41.039 That's awesome. I'm just laughing because a moment ago, when 2098 01:43:41.039 --> 01:43:44.399 I got noticed that my Twitch account it was having 2099 01:43:44.399 --> 01:43:46.520 trouble streaming there. I just got an email saying my 2100 01:43:46.560 --> 01:43:48.479 Twitch account has been suspended, and I think it was 2101 01:43:48.520 --> 01:43:51.720 because of the visitor cue cover whoops, too much nipple, 2102 01:43:52.520 --> 01:43:54.720 which is hilarious. Because I'm still up on YouTube. 2103 01:43:55.079 --> 01:43:56.760 I have two things I got to try to remember 2104 01:43:56.800 --> 01:43:59.560 to slightly censer for you when we get later in 2105 01:43:59.600 --> 01:44:03.159 the day. Oh no, oh, not terrible, but does I 2106 01:44:03.239 --> 01:44:05.920 just realized that after you said that I'm a visit 2107 01:44:05.960 --> 01:44:08.359 a q nipple thing, I hadn't thought about it beforehand. 2108 01:44:09.520 --> 01:44:13.319 Understandable, all right. Next up is same date we got 2109 01:44:13.399 --> 01:44:18.560 July twentieth. In the UK, We've got Beast Unleashed.

Any 2126 01:45:03.279 --> 01:45:06.880 thoughts on this era of film, Brian, This. 2127 01:45:06.840 --> 01:45:08.880 Is something I really don't know much about. Like I'm 2128 01:45:08.880 --> 01:45:14.159 always interested in learning more, but these are Excuse me, 2129 01:45:14.239 --> 01:45:17.279 the fifties monster movies are. I never watched them when 2130 01:45:17.319 --> 01:45:19.840 I was young, and I haven't watched many since then. 2131 01:45:21.479 --> 01:45:25.000 The only ones I know some of the Ray Harry 2132 01:45:25.000 --> 01:45:28.039 Howsen stuff, but that's like sort of where my knowledge 2133 01:45:28.079 --> 01:45:29.880 sort of falls apart. 2134 01:45:30.920 --> 01:45:33.520 See that's about it for me. I've never dove deep 2135 01:45:33.560 --> 01:45:37.840 into many of these other ones. No next up though, 2136 01:45:37.920 --> 01:45:41.199 one that I am I'm kind of excited about. We've 2137 01:45:41.199 --> 01:45:43.039 got July twentieth, the Blu Ray coming in the UK 2138 01:45:43.119 --> 01:45:45.840 from Eureka from their Masters of Cinema line of into 2139 01:45:45.880 --> 01:45:49.159 the Forest folk Tales at DIFA, which might sound sort 2140 01:45:49.199 --> 01:45:51.920 of familiar to you because Brian held up earlier the 2141 01:45:51.960 --> 01:45:55.479 Deaf Crocodile release of Difa fairy Tales that we just 2142 01:45:55.560 --> 01:45:58.880 put out through Deaf Crocodile that has five films in there, 2143 01:45:59.039 --> 01:46:02.479 but there's only a couple that are going to be 2144 01:46:02.520 --> 01:46:05.479 crossing over, or maybe it's three. I think it's three 2145 01:46:05.960 --> 01:46:09.159 that are crossing over, or no, it's only two that 2146 01:46:09.199 --> 01:46:11.840 are crossing over in this Eureka set. And so there's 2147 01:46:11.960 --> 01:46:13.600 kind of a lot of reason to pick up both 2148 01:46:13.680 --> 01:46:16.319 if you're into this era and folk tales and all 2149 01:46:16.319 --> 01:46:19.479 this fun stuff. Because I hope Craig is okay with 2150 01:46:19.520 --> 01:46:21.520 me saying, because I believe he's already said it on 2151 01:46:21.600 --> 01:46:24.239 the podcast, there's not, as far as I'm aware of, 2152 01:46:24.319 --> 01:46:26.680 plan to do any of these other ones by Deaf 2153 01:46:26.720 --> 01:46:30.920 Crocodile anytime soon.

And I had seen a couple 2188 01:48:16.000 --> 01:48:18.359 of them, but I the one that I had seen 2189 01:48:18.359 --> 01:48:21.800 were more like uh, like policy Atacchi, but like the 2190 01:48:21.800 --> 01:48:25.640 German version, I think there's a name for them, Yeah, creamies. 2191 01:48:25.680 --> 01:48:28.199 I had seen a couple of Crimis. Uh, they were good. 2192 01:48:28.359 --> 01:48:32.079 I like them. But I'm really looking forward to I'm 2193 01:48:32.119 --> 01:48:35.359 kind of amassing a bunch of DEFA movie and I 2194 01:48:35.399 --> 01:48:36.880 want to try to do it all in like a 2195 01:48:36.960 --> 01:48:40.359 big sit down, go through and I just got to 2196 01:48:40.399 --> 01:48:41.840 be a book or something about this too that you 2197 01:48:41.840 --> 01:48:44.439 can like watch along with. Yeah, I don't know what. 2198 01:48:44.840 --> 01:48:46.720 I don't have it, but I'm sure it's just somewhere 2199 01:48:47.920 --> 01:48:48.680 that's awesome. 2200 01:48:48.800 --> 01:48:52.359 Yeah, I agree. DEFA has done a lot of stuff. 2201 01:48:52.560 --> 01:48:55.680 First off, tons of movies. Yeah, so many movies. 2202 01:48:55.439 --> 01:48:57.239 A ton ton tons they were I mean they were 2203 01:48:57.239 --> 01:48:59.840 releasing it for captive audience. It's just like well like 2204 01:49:00.279 --> 01:49:02.199 Hong Kong was making a ton of movie. Well that's 2205 01:49:02.239 --> 01:49:05.720 his life. But they have their own I guess Quebec, 2206 01:49:05.760 --> 01:49:07.920 like Quebec makes all these movies because they're making them 2207 01:49:07.960 --> 01:49:10.680 for themselves, so they know they have a built in 2208 01:49:10.760 --> 01:49:13.359 audience and they're all going, So you can make a 2209 01:49:13.399 --> 01:49:16.199 movie for six hundred thousand dollars and make money because 2210 01:49:16.239 --> 01:49:18.560 you know you're gonna get that many people to go 2211 01:49:18.560 --> 01:49:18.880 see it. 2212 01:49:19.960 --> 01:49:21.920 I don't know if it's coming through my sound, but 2213 01:49:22.159 --> 01:49:24.159 I did want to say we are in the middle 2214 01:49:24.159 --> 01:49:28.319 of a giant hill storm outside, so that got good good. 2215 01:49:29.079 --> 01:49:30.239 That makes for a good microphone. 2216 01:49:30.239 --> 01:49:32.560 Then also I'm a sound mixer.

I'm managing my managing, managing 2277 01:53:06.119 --> 01:53:07.880 my spending a little bit better these days. 2278 01:53:09.079 --> 01:53:13.159 Understandable, understandable.

All right, So now deep dive into laser discs. 2287 01:53:38.760 --> 01:53:42.560 We're gonna talk about all kinds of stuff, including ironic thrillers. 2288 01:53:42.560 --> 01:53:44.199 We're going to talk about some of the rare ones. 2289 01:53:44.560 --> 01:53:45.640 Where do you want to start? You want to you 2290 01:53:45.680 --> 01:53:48.399 want to start why laser discs were important or why 2291 01:53:48.479 --> 01:53:49.319 they were sought after? 2292 01:53:50.520 --> 01:53:54.800 Uh? Sure? I mean is there any did you did 2293 01:53:54.800 --> 01:53:58.920 you call any like questions that people want before I 2294 01:53:58.960 --> 01:54:00.680 get like going or a ry. 2295 01:54:00.560 --> 01:54:03.640 No, let's dive into that for well, and maybe first 2296 01:54:03.640 --> 01:54:05.800 of all, just what is a laser disc? For those 2297 01:54:05.840 --> 01:54:07.319 that have never actually held one. 2298 01:54:07.720 --> 01:54:09.600 Yeah, that's good. So a laser disc is the same 2299 01:54:09.640 --> 01:54:13.159 size as the record, so it's twelve inches, and it's 2300 01:54:13.520 --> 01:54:16.760 the same technology behind it is what's on a CD, 2301 01:54:17.159 --> 01:54:20.399 so it's etched a small piece of metal smashed between 2302 01:54:20.399 --> 01:54:23.880 two platters. But the great thing to me about a 2303 01:54:23.920 --> 01:54:26.760 laser disc, more than anything else, is it's the last 2304 01:54:26.840 --> 01:54:29.760 analog format. So while it's read by a laser, it's 2305 01:54:29.760 --> 01:54:33.640 the last video analog format that existed. It's four eighty I, 2306 01:54:35.239 --> 01:54:37.840 but you can actually blow it up pretty good to 2307 01:54:37.880 --> 01:54:40.920 four K. I mean, within reason. It doesn't look like 2308 01:54:40.920 --> 01:54:43.880 a four K, but I've used a lot of fancy 2309 01:54:43.880 --> 01:54:46.840 players and scalers and I make it look decent. But 2310 01:54:46.960 --> 01:54:51.199 the sound, after a certain period of time becomes digital, 2311 01:54:51.359 --> 01:54:55.279 so it's CD quality sound with an analog video, and 2312 01:54:55.359 --> 01:55:00.640 it makes it for a very like specific feel. It's 2313 01:55:00.760 --> 01:55:05.760 not really it doesn't look at all like the VHS, 2314 01:55:05.800 --> 01:55:07.880 which I think looked like crap. I don't actually quite 2315 01:55:07.920 --> 01:55:10.039 understand the VHS thing. I mean, if it's the only 2316 01:55:10.039 --> 01:55:12.680 way you can see them, would be great. But VHS 2317 01:55:12.760 --> 01:55:15.800 is two forty I, so this is double the resolution 2318 01:55:15.880 --> 01:55:19.600 of that, and they were made for a really long 2319 01:55:19.640 --> 01:55:22.720 time the first one was Jaws, made in nineteen seventy eight, 2320 01:55:23.039 --> 01:55:26.159 and the last one, at least the last English one, 2321 01:55:26.600 --> 01:55:29.439 was The Cell released in Japan, made in two thousand 2322 01:55:29.439 --> 01:55:33.960 and one. So that's an incredible, incredible span and an 2323 01:55:34.000 --> 01:55:38.520 incredible breadth of cinema that entered and exited through laser disc. 2324 01:55:41.000 --> 01:55:43.920 Really really interesting time, and there's a lot of these 2325 01:55:43.920 --> 01:55:47.239 things that laser disc are the only place to get, 2326 01:55:47.640 --> 01:55:51.239 not just films but special features. Obviously, this is the 2327 01:55:51.239 --> 01:55:53.239 first time that we were able to get audio commentaries 2328 01:55:53.239 --> 01:55:56.239 for Criterion, Lots of stuff that we can dive in 2329 01:55:56.279 --> 01:55:59.720 on that. What next, What is the best way that 2330 01:55:59.720 --> 01:56:01.119 you want to sell the lasers story? 2331 01:56:01.640 --> 01:56:04.119 Yeah, I mean I think I think if you want 2332 01:56:04.159 --> 01:56:07.880 to like talk about the format and like what makes 2333 01:56:07.920 --> 01:56:10.479 it special, I think the thing to think about is 2334 01:56:10.840 --> 01:56:13.960 going back to that breadth and scope. So from seventy 2335 01:56:13.960 --> 01:56:16.119 eight to two thousand and one, it's an incredible amount 2336 01:56:16.159 --> 01:56:19.880 of time, I mean, twenty three years, and as far 2337 01:56:19.920 --> 01:56:24.319 as what gets released on laser disc, it's pretty incredible. 2338 01:56:24.359 --> 01:56:27.520 So the early stuff, the very very early stuff people 2339 01:56:27.520 --> 01:56:30.439 collect that to me, it's not super super interesting. But 2340 01:56:30.560 --> 01:56:33.399 you start around nineteen eighty two and in the US. 2341 01:56:33.439 --> 01:56:36.319 It really ends in two thousand and you get like 2342 01:56:37.000 --> 01:56:41.119 anything and everything. I mean, they release silent movies, documentaries, 2343 01:56:42.079 --> 01:56:46.720 they release action movies, they release classic movies, they release comedies, 2344 01:56:47.000 --> 01:56:49.800 they release tons of stuff. And eventually we'll get into 2345 01:56:49.920 --> 01:56:52.760 what they kind of only released on laser disc, which 2346 01:56:52.800 --> 01:56:55.479 is not only but they the best quality of it 2347 01:56:55.520 --> 01:56:58.479 is on laser disc, which is erotic thrillers and why 2348 01:56:58.520 --> 01:57:03.359 that is true. But from there, you know, in the eighties, 2349 01:57:03.359 --> 01:57:06.520 it sort of starts out and it's just like, you know, 2350 01:57:06.720 --> 01:57:10.039 laser disc is competing with Beta, which is competing with VHS, 2351 01:57:10.359 --> 01:57:14.760 and Beta loses because they won't do porn, and VHS 2352 01:57:14.880 --> 01:57:17.760 is like poor me up, bro, and then laser just 2353 01:57:17.840 --> 01:57:20.720 sort of sees this and I was like this porn idea, 2354 01:57:21.039 --> 01:57:23.239 and so they start to do porn movies as well, 2355 01:57:23.319 --> 01:57:26.319 so you know, they keep along that and you know, 2356 01:57:26.359 --> 01:57:28.680 you can track porn through laser disc almost up to 2357 01:57:28.720 --> 01:57:32.279 the end. But whatever, that's a whole nother side topic. 2358 01:57:32.680 --> 01:57:36.079 But you know, so they have this niche market and 2359 01:57:36.119 --> 01:57:39.439 it's people that want really the highest quality possible, and 2360 01:57:39.479 --> 01:57:43.600 they want and the breadth of movies possible. So as 2361 01:57:43.920 --> 01:57:47.119 you know, Beta loses and everybody's like VHS looks like crap. 2362 01:57:47.479 --> 01:57:49.000 They're like, oh yeah, but I have like this high 2363 01:57:49.079 --> 01:57:51.439 quality system. I want to be able to make something 2364 01:57:51.520 --> 01:57:56.000 looks nice. They get a laser disc player, and lasers 2365 01:57:56.000 --> 01:57:58.159 are expensive when they first come out, Like you know, 2366 01:57:58.199 --> 01:58:02.239 the Criterion edition of You're saying King Kong with the 2367 01:58:02.239 --> 01:58:04.680 first commentary, it's like one hundred bucks, one hundred bucks 2368 01:58:04.680 --> 01:58:07.600 of nineteen eighty dollars, which is like what two hundred 2369 01:58:07.600 --> 01:58:10.600 and fifty dollars, So if you're talking about like, oh Man, 2370 01:58:10.680 --> 01:58:13.720 twenty six dollars is expensive for a deaf rocketile release, 2371 01:58:13.880 --> 01:58:16.479 like two hundred and fifty bucks for King Kong. It's 2372 01:58:16.520 --> 01:58:20.399 crazy pants. But you know, they're the collector's market and 2373 01:58:20.399 --> 01:58:23.720 their niche here. But along with all of that, there's 2374 01:58:23.720 --> 01:58:25.800 a kind of a crazy thing that happens is that 2375 01:58:26.600 --> 01:58:30.479 as the mid eighties progresses into the latedies into the nineties, 2376 01:58:30.640 --> 01:58:36.399 the Asian economic miracle happens, and Japan, Hong Kong, they boom. 2377 01:58:36.560 --> 01:58:39.119 Money is just coming in like crazy. And in Japan 2378 01:58:39.640 --> 01:58:41.800 they love karaoke, and what's a great way to do 2379 01:58:41.880 --> 01:58:44.720 karaoke lasers. Now they have a laser dis player and 2380 01:58:44.760 --> 01:58:47.479 turns out, what else are they like? Movies? So they 2381 01:58:47.520 --> 01:58:51.119 are selling movies hand over a fist, Like I can't 2382 01:58:51.119 --> 01:58:53.680 get pressing numbers on everything, but I know the minimum 2383 01:58:53.680 --> 01:58:56.359 pressing on a Lasiers has to be five hundred, and 2384 01:58:56.800 --> 01:58:59.560 I think most things get pressed about a thousand. In Japan, 2385 01:59:00.239 --> 01:59:03.600 there are like twenty thousand copies of Showgirls on laser disc. 2386 01:59:04.359 --> 01:59:08.199 Like it's just massive, massive, massive, massive. And the breadth 2387 01:59:08.279 --> 01:59:12.000 of movies that they're releasing in Japan is just astounding. 2388 01:59:12.159 --> 01:59:17.960 They're releasing French films, Japanese films, American films, and you 2389 01:59:18.000 --> 01:59:20.960 can just find all this other stuff. And now when 2390 01:59:21.000 --> 01:59:24.239 you get back to the States, you know, along with 2391 01:59:24.319 --> 01:59:27.960 your Hollywood movies and whatever, laser discs are also kind 2392 01:59:28.039 --> 01:59:31.800 of entering a niche video store realm, and what niche 2393 01:59:31.880 --> 01:59:36.640 video stores want and porn, and along with porn is 2394 01:59:36.840 --> 01:59:39.600 like things that aren't quite porn. So it's the erotic thriller. 2395 01:59:40.119 --> 01:59:45.039 So erotic thrillers start getting released like crazy on laser disc, 2396 01:59:45.279 --> 01:59:47.600 and you know, we can talk a little bit, well, 2397 01:59:47.640 --> 01:59:49.640 we'll talk a little bit more about erotic thrillers in general, 2398 01:59:49.680 --> 01:59:53.880 but what's interesting to me about them is they're basically 2399 01:59:53.960 --> 01:59:57.720 the nineties version of a film noir. They roughly like 2400 01:59:57.840 --> 02:00:00.960 roughly hew them. They would start like with Fatal Attraction 2401 02:00:01.479 --> 02:00:05.239 and end with Showgirls. That's like the Hollywood aspect of them. 2402 02:00:05.520 --> 02:00:08.720 The DTV direct to video ones really start with like 2403 02:00:08.840 --> 02:00:12.479 Night Eyes, which is in nineteen ninety, and it ends, 2404 02:00:13.199 --> 02:00:15.199 you know, I mean, it doesn't really end for a 2405 02:00:15.199 --> 02:00:17.439 long time. It doesn't end to like the mid two 2406 02:00:17.760 --> 02:00:20.800 the early two thousands, but those are really junkie. It 2407 02:00:20.920 --> 02:00:24.399 kind of dies around the same time Showgirls dies. It 2408 02:00:24.479 --> 02:00:26.319 really dies when the Internet comes in. It does ninety eight, 2409 02:00:26.399 --> 02:00:29.600 ninety nine. But they make five hundred of them, just 2410 02:00:29.640 --> 02:00:32.800 like they make five hundred film noirs, and their plots 2411 02:00:32.800 --> 02:00:35.640 are very similar to a film noir, except it's twisted. 2412 02:00:36.079 --> 02:00:38.880 So in a film noir, you'll have a man that's 2413 02:00:38.960 --> 02:00:43.039 undone by like one of his actions are oh, an 2414 02:00:43.079 --> 02:00:45.920 action of a femme fatale. Here, it's really all about 2415 02:00:46.119 --> 02:00:49.000 the woman and what she wants and how her life 2416 02:00:49.000 --> 02:00:53.680 gets upended by her like search for fulfillment. And there 2417 02:00:53.720 --> 02:00:55.680 are a lot of interesting things that are written about it. 2418 02:00:55.880 --> 02:00:57.800 In fact, there's only three books. I could show them 2419 02:00:57.840 --> 02:00:59.479 if you really want, but there's only three books written 2420 02:00:59.479 --> 02:01:02.159 about around it thrillers. All three of them are interesting 2421 02:01:03.640 --> 02:01:06.880 and they sort of the best one. Ruth Dan Williams. 2422 02:01:07.319 --> 02:01:09.479 Ruth Williams. She makes this sort of the point that 2423 02:01:09.760 --> 02:01:12.680 erotic thrillers are a lot like musicals. Like MGM musicals, 2424 02:01:13.119 --> 02:01:16.960 they have like these overall structures that then get interrupted 2425 02:01:17.000 --> 02:01:20.000 by dance numbers, except these dance numbers are sex scenes. 2426 02:01:20.399 --> 02:01:23.119 So you have this structure of like a woman searching 2427 02:01:23.199 --> 02:01:26.079 for fulfillment, but then it gets interrupted as she you know, 2428 02:01:26.319 --> 02:01:30.199 I sech with a bunch of people. So that's what 2429 02:01:30.359 --> 02:01:33.000 I like about that. And in laser disc in general, 2430 02:01:33.039 --> 02:01:35.439 you can just find all kinds of stuff. Like when 2431 02:01:35.479 --> 02:01:37.800 I would go around and just buy whatever came up, 2432 02:01:37.880 --> 02:01:39.840 you would never know like what some of this things, 2433 02:01:39.920 --> 02:01:41.800 these things are, and it's just. 2434 02:01:41.720 --> 02:01:46.520 Like, uh, yeah, it's a it's an interesting period and 2435 02:01:46.520 --> 02:01:49.159 there are lots of these movies that now can literally 2436 02:01:49.239 --> 02:01:51.000 only be got on later. 2437 02:01:51.319 --> 02:01:54.159 Yeah. So so let's so how you make a laser disc. 2438 02:01:54.359 --> 02:02:00.199 So a laser disc needs so if all these all 2439 02:02:00.199 --> 02:02:02.319 these erotic thrillers are shot in film, So they're shot 2440 02:02:02.359 --> 02:02:04.359 on film, but it's this era where they're editing on 2441 02:02:04.439 --> 02:02:07.079 tape and the way that they edit it on tape, 2442 02:02:07.079 --> 02:02:09.239 and I'm not one hundred percent perfect on the exact 2443 02:02:09.279 --> 02:02:12.239 technical thing is they're more or less like striping it 2444 02:02:12.279 --> 02:02:15.399 with time code. They're cutting it linearly, and then they 2445 02:02:15.640 --> 02:02:18.159 sort of do it conform. They don't cut the negative, 2446 02:02:18.319 --> 02:02:21.000 but they do a conform to the negative, and they 2447 02:02:21.279 --> 02:02:24.319 do that conform and then they bring it on into 2448 02:02:24.399 --> 02:02:27.439 a version of a telesiny. The telegienity turns it into 2449 02:02:27.479 --> 02:02:29.560 a positive, and then they put it on a tape. 2450 02:02:29.600 --> 02:02:30.960 And the tape they put it on is called a 2451 02:02:31.039 --> 02:02:33.680 D two master tape, and the quality of a D 2452 02:02:33.760 --> 02:02:38.119 two master tape is, you know, basically the same as 2453 02:02:38.119 --> 02:02:41.479 a laser disc. So if you get something that's struck 2454 02:02:41.520 --> 02:02:43.479 from a D two master tape of an erotic thriller 2455 02:02:43.520 --> 02:02:45.920 and you get it on laser disc, that's basically the same. 2456 02:02:46.159 --> 02:02:48.359 And then when they released it on DVD, you're like, oh, well, 2457 02:02:48.399 --> 02:02:51.640 that's for ADP or whatever, but it's not. It's basically 2458 02:02:51.680 --> 02:02:54.920 the exact same and it's just compressed, and the DVD 2459 02:02:54.960 --> 02:02:58.439 compression is not that great, so it really if you 2460 02:02:58.520 --> 02:03:01.359 have a nice quality of the l it's never really 2461 02:03:01.359 --> 02:03:05.279 going to look any better. And I'm not positive, but 2462 02:03:05.319 --> 02:03:08.079 my deeply held belief is all of these negatives are 2463 02:03:08.079 --> 02:03:11.600 in the trash. They're all gone, because what would happen 2464 02:03:11.720 --> 02:03:16.520 is that company that did the video editing, offline video editing, 2465 02:03:17.520 --> 02:03:19.880 they would store the negatives at a lab, and that 2466 02:03:19.920 --> 02:03:22.079 company has gone out of business. That lab has gone 2467 02:03:22.119 --> 02:03:24.239 out of business, and if you didn't come and claim 2468 02:03:24.319 --> 02:03:27.600 your negatives, they all went in the dumpsticks straight the trash. 2469 02:03:27.760 --> 02:03:29.840 So they're all gone. I mean, you might find one 2470 02:03:29.920 --> 02:03:32.880 or two here there, but and there are a couple 2471 02:03:32.920 --> 02:03:36.840 that got to release. There's one I'll get to eventually 2472 02:03:36.840 --> 02:03:39.119 that I know got to release in a few places, 2473 02:03:39.199 --> 02:03:41.399 which means they cut the negative. So if they cut 2474 02:03:41.399 --> 02:03:44.359 the negative, that means it's a print somewhere. And if 2475 02:03:44.359 --> 02:03:47.399 there's a print somewhere, you can maybe make a blu 2476 02:03:47.479 --> 02:03:49.239 ray out of it. But these are basically all gone. 2477 02:03:49.520 --> 02:03:51.439 This is just all forgotten media. 2478 02:03:52.640 --> 02:03:56.279 Well, not only films, not only special features. There's also 2479 02:03:56.279 --> 02:03:59.199 a lot of laser discs with cuts that are exclusive 2480 02:03:59.319 --> 02:04:02.079 to the laser disc release that are not on other releases. 2481 02:04:02.319 --> 02:04:05.000 And you've actually been kind of solicited from some of 2482 02:04:05.039 --> 02:04:08.319 these boutique labels to supply some laser discs to be 2483 02:04:08.439 --> 02:04:11.840 used for some of their releases. Yeah, share, share some 2484 02:04:11.920 --> 02:04:14.880 of what you've been able to help provide to people, 2485 02:04:15.159 --> 02:04:17.439 what you've been solicited for stuff like that. 2486 02:04:18.439 --> 02:04:21.479 Yeah, let me grab those out because we're going to 2487 02:04:21.560 --> 02:04:24.000 go out of That's good, I mean. 2488 02:04:26.920 --> 02:04:27.319 Oops. 2489 02:04:27.840 --> 02:04:31.439 So yeah, I have provided releases. Oops, I don't know 2490 02:04:31.520 --> 02:04:34.039 that wasn't already. You did have my proper order. I 2491 02:04:34.079 --> 02:04:37.760 just didn't remember. So I have. I have like made 2492 02:04:37.800 --> 02:04:41.079 scans for a handful of people. And one time this 2493 02:04:41.159 --> 02:04:44.199 guy who really wouldn't identify himself came over and was like, 2494 02:04:44.680 --> 02:04:47.520 I want a scan of this this New York Chinatown. 2495 02:04:48.000 --> 02:04:50.079 And he only knew that I had it because I'm 2496 02:04:50.079 --> 02:04:52.159 the only one in the world that has it. And 2497 02:04:52.479 --> 02:04:54.840 he was like, Oh, I need this scan for a 2498 02:04:55.000 --> 02:04:56.760 Blu ray I'm doing. I can't tell you what it's 2499 02:04:56.760 --> 02:04:58.439 for or anything. I was like, whatever, I don't care. 2500 02:04:58.840 --> 02:05:03.159 So I made a scan and then that eventually got 2501 02:05:03.199 --> 02:05:08.840 released and cut in to this vinegar syndrome release of 2502 02:05:08.880 --> 02:05:12.439 these Hong Kong fine too, this New York Chinatown. So 2503 02:05:12.479 --> 02:05:15.399 that's my laser disc. Whenever they talk about the laser 2504 02:05:15.399 --> 02:05:18.039 disc they're printing for it. And then for you and 2505 02:05:18.079 --> 02:05:23.880 the terror Vision folks. I scan Gator Bait two. I scanned, 2506 02:05:23.880 --> 02:05:26.920 I ripped Gator Bait two, which is actually a rough 2507 02:05:26.960 --> 02:05:28.800 movie but quite fun and I can't believe you guys 2508 02:05:28.800 --> 02:05:32.640 found a negative for it. I'm pretty excited to see that. 2509 02:05:32.680 --> 02:05:35.680 I'm not gonna lie because it is. It is a 2510 02:05:35.720 --> 02:05:38.079 dirty movie, but it is a hilarious movie. 2511 02:05:38.560 --> 02:05:41.079 I still can't believe that we got the German VHS 2512 02:05:41.079 --> 02:05:43.159 that's longer than anything else than any of us have 2513 02:05:43.199 --> 02:05:45.800 ever seen, which is wild. And the footage is not 2514 02:05:45.920 --> 02:05:48.680 like it's not great in additional footage, but the fact 2515 02:05:48.680 --> 02:05:50.920 that we have it is just truly incredible. 2516 02:05:51.039 --> 02:05:52.840 Yeah, that's the whole idea. Is you kind of archived 2517 02:05:52.840 --> 02:05:54.279 the whole release of these things. 2518 02:05:54.840 --> 02:05:55.119 Yep. 2519 02:05:56.079 --> 02:05:58.359 And as far as like things that don't exist anywhere 2520 02:05:58.359 --> 02:06:03.079 else here, I have a few cool things. So this 2521 02:06:03.079 --> 02:06:05.039 this I just like a lot. I mean, I've seen 2522 02:06:05.079 --> 02:06:08.159 it a couple of times. It is called Hollywood a 2523 02:06:08.239 --> 02:06:12.239 Celebration of the American Silent Film, and you're like, oh, whatever, 2524 02:06:12.319 --> 02:06:15.439 this big box set of early silent film documentary, So 2525 02:06:15.479 --> 02:06:17.920 that can't be that interesting. But this was an early 2526 02:06:18.239 --> 02:06:23.279 made for HBO documentary and all these images and all 2527 02:06:23.399 --> 02:06:25.920 the films they don't have the rights for anywhere else, 2528 02:06:26.239 --> 02:06:28.880 so you can find this on YouTube, but this is 2529 02:06:29.239 --> 02:06:31.279 the own that there's a VHS, but this in the 2530 02:06:31.359 --> 02:06:33.880 VHS is the only release that'll ever be as the 2531 02:06:33.880 --> 02:06:37.479 physical media, and this basically chronicles from the birth of 2532 02:06:37.680 --> 02:06:40.680 cinema all the way till will Sound comes in and 2533 02:06:40.720 --> 02:06:44.359 it's it's crazy, it's beautiful. It's like Kevin Barlow or 2534 02:06:44.359 --> 02:06:48.039 Brownlow did it, and it's I think it's like twelve hours. 2535 02:06:48.079 --> 02:06:48.800 It's really long. 2536 02:06:50.359 --> 02:06:51.880 So that's ours, damn. 2537 02:06:52.359 --> 02:06:54.880 So that's pretty cool. And then some things more people 2538 02:06:55.000 --> 02:06:58.439 might know, so dumb and dumber. The only way to 2539 02:06:58.479 --> 02:07:01.399 see the original version and wide screen is on this 2540 02:07:01.479 --> 02:07:05.079 laser disc because for whatever reason, they only release this, 2541 02:07:06.600 --> 02:07:09.760 not even director's cut. It's like the TV cut and 2542 02:07:09.800 --> 02:07:11.520 they release it all the time, and I don't really 2543 02:07:11.560 --> 02:07:14.159 know why, because the original one is so much better. 2544 02:07:14.520 --> 02:07:16.720 And if you look at the what they do in 2545 02:07:16.840 --> 02:07:20.079 the TV cuts last director cut is they make them 2546 02:07:20.119 --> 02:07:22.119 so much meaner and by the end you don't really 2547 02:07:22.159 --> 02:07:26.199 like them as not so much fun and then a 2548 02:07:26.239 --> 02:07:30.960 little more esoterically, maybe not too crazy. The Wizard of 2549 02:07:30.960 --> 02:07:33.800 Speed and Time is kind of this crazy kind of 2550 02:07:34.720 --> 02:07:37.520 cult movie. And that's the US laser disc and that's 2551 02:07:37.520 --> 02:07:41.319 pretty cool. But what's really crazy is the Japanese one 2552 02:07:41.399 --> 02:07:44.359 is about nine minutes longer. And this is the only 2553 02:07:45.000 --> 02:07:47.279 way to see this geez. 2554 02:07:47.880 --> 02:07:49.119 And this is cover too. 2555 02:07:49.520 --> 02:07:51.840 Yeah, and this goes for a stupid amount of money. 2556 02:07:52.680 --> 02:07:55.319 Well is it time to talk about that? For what 2557 02:07:55.479 --> 02:07:59.800 most modern sales for laser disc go for, like what 2558 02:07:59.840 --> 02:08:01.760 the rare ones get and stuff like that. 2559 02:08:02.119 --> 02:08:06.239 What are rare ones get? So you know, if you're 2560 02:08:06.239 --> 02:08:10.000 talking about like a normal laser disc these days, you 2561 02:08:10.119 --> 02:08:14.399 sell them for like five bucks, maybe less like three bucks. 2562 02:08:14.439 --> 02:08:16.920 Like if you want to watch like Jade, like Jade 2563 02:08:16.920 --> 02:08:20.000 on lazerness, like five bucks. Something like The Wizard of 2564 02:08:20.039 --> 02:08:24.800 Speeding Time on that Japanese one is like three hundred 2565 02:08:24.800 --> 02:08:25.560 dollars at least. 2566 02:08:25.880 --> 02:08:26.439 Geez. 2567 02:08:26.720 --> 02:08:29.119 And then if you want to talk about something really crazy, 2568 02:08:29.520 --> 02:08:33.359 I'll drop a few. I didn't bring the big big one. Actually, 2569 02:08:33.680 --> 02:08:35.520 I'll tell you a few more so, like something like 2570 02:08:37.000 --> 02:08:41.119 somebody mentioned the Matrix. So most I don't care about 2571 02:08:41.199 --> 02:08:44.239 unopened media, and I especially don't care about open laser 2572 02:08:44.239 --> 02:08:48.399 disc with the exception of super popular movies that are 2573 02:08:48.479 --> 02:08:53.720 unopened are starting to fetch crazy prices, so the Matrix. 2574 02:08:54.159 --> 02:08:56.520 I sold an unopened copy that I bought for three 2575 02:08:56.560 --> 02:09:01.560 dollars almost instantly locally for six hundred bucks cash, and 2576 02:09:01.640 --> 02:09:04.920 I probably undersold it. I'm pretty sure if I had 2577 02:09:04.920 --> 02:09:07.760 it today, I could sell it for nine hundred. What 2578 02:09:08.000 --> 02:09:10.840 it's it's because people are starting to grade them like 2579 02:09:10.920 --> 02:09:14.479 comic books and put them on slaves, but only super 2580 02:09:14.520 --> 02:09:19.640 popular movies that are unopened. I had an unopened Fight Club, 2581 02:09:20.279 --> 02:09:22.279 which is a rare Japanese one, that I sold for 2582 02:09:22.319 --> 02:09:24.560 like three point fifty, and I'm pretty sure the same 2583 02:09:24.600 --> 02:09:27.680 guy put it on eBay for seven and I don't 2584 02:09:27.720 --> 02:09:29.920 know if it's still there, but he'll probably sell it. 2585 02:09:31.399 --> 02:09:34.159 So that's that. And then the really really really late 2586 02:09:34.239 --> 02:09:39.359 stuff like Arnold's the Sixth Man, Sixth Day, Sixth Day, 2587 02:09:40.039 --> 02:09:43.520 or the sell which are the stuff that's released right 2588 02:09:43.560 --> 02:09:47.960 at the end, are like multiple thousands of dollars apiece, 2589 02:09:48.520 --> 02:09:50.279 and if you can find one and you're not gonna 2590 02:09:50.319 --> 02:09:52.159 you're not gonna here's the thing, You're not gonna find it, 2591 02:09:52.479 --> 02:09:54.640 So it doesn't matter that it's worth a lot of money, 2592 02:09:54.920 --> 02:09:58.600 you're just not gonna come across it. I'm pretty sure 2593 02:09:59.399 --> 02:10:03.039 that they just didn't sell many of them, and then 2594 02:10:03.079 --> 02:10:05.680 the the stores returned them and they went in the 2595 02:10:05.760 --> 02:10:09.399 dump because something like the cell. I think the known 2596 02:10:09.439 --> 02:10:12.560 copies are like thirty four of them, so that's probably 2597 02:10:12.600 --> 02:10:13.680 like about how many sold. 2598 02:10:14.640 --> 02:10:17.960 Jeez, that is just insanity. 2599 02:10:18.159 --> 02:10:22.439 And then uh uh what dice k that's the guy. 2600 02:10:23.319 --> 02:10:26.760 That's the guy who likes Criterion right yep, so I 2601 02:10:27.359 --> 02:10:32.840 was during the pandemic. I was like streaming dice Gase 2602 02:10:32.920 --> 02:10:36.239 videos in the background. What a soothing, lovely gentleman he 2603 02:10:36.279 --> 02:10:39.800 seems to be. And at one point he was like, oh, this, 2604 02:10:39.960 --> 02:10:41.720 this and this, and then it's like, this was the 2605 02:10:41.760 --> 02:10:44.119 hardest thing to get in my collection, and it's this 2606 02:10:44.800 --> 02:10:48.039 it's the Prince of Tides, And you're like, Prince of Tides, 2607 02:10:48.399 --> 02:10:51.520 Why is this the hardest thing to get in your collection? Well, 2608 02:10:51.560 --> 02:10:56.399 it's because it's the Prince of Tides and the Prince 2609 02:10:56.439 --> 02:11:00.319 of Tides one nine. Criterion printed them, had them all 2610 02:11:00.359 --> 02:11:04.520 ready to go, and then Barbara streisand pulled them, either 2611 02:11:04.600 --> 02:11:07.279 because she didn't like the essay because when it got 2612 02:11:07.279 --> 02:11:11.199 re released it's a different essay or something she said 2613 02:11:11.199 --> 02:11:13.119 on the commentary. She didn't like the way it got 2614 02:11:13.199 --> 02:11:16.039 edited together, and I'm not one hundred percent sure why, 2615 02:11:16.159 --> 02:11:19.199 but this one has a slightly different commentary and a 2616 02:11:19.239 --> 02:11:23.239 slightly different essay on the back, a slightly different cover, 2617 02:11:24.640 --> 02:11:27.760 and they were never officially released, so you'd have to 2618 02:11:27.800 --> 02:11:30.920 get them from Basically, the story goes is about one 2619 02:11:31.000 --> 02:11:33.680 hundred of them slipped out because the Criterion gave them 2620 02:11:33.720 --> 02:11:36.680 away at their Christmas party, and then a few days 2621 02:11:36.720 --> 02:11:38.760 later she decided she didn't want to release it and 2622 02:11:38.800 --> 02:11:42.199 she pulled them all, so that one was a little 2623 02:11:42.199 --> 02:11:44.840 harder to track down nikes. 2624 02:11:46.439 --> 02:11:48.319 Anyone wants to know if you ever got to HD 2625 02:11:48.760 --> 02:11:50.520 LaserDisc Muse, do you know what that is? 2626 02:11:50.840 --> 02:11:53.800 I do so. Muse is a format that's ten thirty 2627 02:11:53.800 --> 02:11:58.239 five I. It was only released in Japan. You need 2628 02:11:58.239 --> 02:12:01.199 a special decoder in order to get it. They released 2629 02:12:01.239 --> 02:12:05.479 about fifty movies and they also released about fifty background 2630 02:12:05.560 --> 02:12:09.319 videos of fish, so you can watch fish in glorious HD. 2631 02:12:10.720 --> 02:12:14.000 I have like seven of them. For a while, you 2632 02:12:14.000 --> 02:12:16.560 could pick them up at semi reasonable prices, but they're 2633 02:12:16.600 --> 02:12:19.359 pretty crazy. I do have Back to the Future, which 2634 02:12:19.399 --> 02:12:24.479 is pretty cool, and I have I told a couple 2635 02:12:24.560 --> 02:12:27.039 of them. I'll be honest, it's a lot of work 2636 02:12:27.119 --> 02:12:31.279 to get it to come out. And it's it's cool ish. 2637 02:12:31.560 --> 02:12:33.560 I would say, oh, I have close encounters and I 2638 02:12:33.560 --> 02:12:35.840 have et It's just it's just a lot of work 2639 02:12:35.880 --> 02:12:37.880 to get it to come out. I think if you 2640 02:12:38.000 --> 02:12:40.920 like really dedicate yourself to like that's the thing you 2641 02:12:40.960 --> 02:12:44.119 want to do, that's fine. But also because of the 2642 02:12:44.119 --> 02:12:47.239 way the format is, the subtitles are always in the picture, 2643 02:12:47.800 --> 02:12:51.279 even if even if it's like two three five. So 2644 02:12:51.399 --> 02:12:54.079 I just sort of it just got expensive and I 2645 02:12:54.079 --> 02:12:56.359 fell out of it. For me, it was more more 2646 02:12:56.439 --> 02:13:00.000 niche than I even am. But it's a good question. 2647 02:13:00.079 --> 02:13:00.479 Niche. 2648 02:13:00.760 --> 02:13:01.800 Yeah, it's pretty niche. 2649 02:13:02.640 --> 02:13:05.960 So seventeen thousand laser discs, there are many that you 2650 02:13:05.960 --> 02:13:07.920 and I have talked about that you are literally like 2651 02:13:08.359 --> 02:13:13.119 the only known owner of a film on a laser disc. 2652 02:13:13.279 --> 02:13:14.439 Tell us about some of those. 2653 02:13:15.439 --> 02:13:18.399 The only known owner ones. Okay, well, I know I 2654 02:13:18.479 --> 02:13:21.840 brought one more that I know. So I was going 2655 02:13:21.920 --> 02:13:23.000 to talk about this a little bit more in the 2656 02:13:23.039 --> 02:13:24.520 Erotic through all the time, but I do it now. 2657 02:13:24.600 --> 02:13:31.760 So there was a DVD release somewhat recently by the 2658 02:13:31.760 --> 02:13:36.479 Cinemax thing of Ultimate Taboo, and then people were complaining like, oh, 2659 02:13:36.479 --> 02:13:39.920 what is this Ultimate Taboo. It's like it's all cut 2660 02:13:39.920 --> 02:13:42.279 and it's all weird, there's no ultimate whatever. Well, this 2661 02:13:42.359 --> 02:13:46.000 is an Indonesian laser disc and it is longer by 2662 02:13:46.000 --> 02:13:49.319 about six minutes than the DVD release because this is 2663 02:13:49.359 --> 02:13:52.439 not the Cinemax cut. This is like the original cut 2664 02:13:52.560 --> 02:13:58.760 that they again pre sold to pre sold to foreign markets. 2665 02:14:00.399 --> 02:14:02.479 And actually this movie is pretty interesting. It's directed by 2666 02:14:02.520 --> 02:14:05.560 Paul Thomas, not Paul Thomas Anderson, but but Paul Thomas. 2667 02:14:05.600 --> 02:14:08.520 He was a porn actor and director, but he also 2668 02:14:08.520 --> 02:14:10.920 made a bunch of softcore movies. But what's more interesting 2669 02:14:10.960 --> 02:14:14.159 is it's written by Penny Anti, who's like, uh, sort 2670 02:14:14.199 --> 02:14:21.399 of a feminist writer critic and and really weirdly, it 2671 02:14:21.520 --> 02:14:26.119 stars well Kim Dawson did it, but also the woman 2672 02:14:26.159 --> 02:14:28.600 who's in now I'm blank, and of course the one 2673 02:14:28.600 --> 02:14:31.720 who does a workout of video terror vision did it. 2674 02:14:32.159 --> 02:14:34.840 Yep, Lena, quickly, I think that's it. 2675 02:14:35.000 --> 02:14:37.439 I believe it. Now I'm gonna make sure. But the 2676 02:14:37.479 --> 02:14:40.920 other the other woman who's in it basically plays her 2677 02:14:41.079 --> 02:14:43.840 job in the movie for absolutely no reason, is a 2678 02:14:43.840 --> 02:14:46.640 clown for children's birthday parties. So every now and then 2679 02:14:46.680 --> 02:14:48.439 she comes back from work or she's going to work 2680 02:14:48.439 --> 02:14:50.880 and she's dressed up as a clown. I don't know, 2681 02:14:51.840 --> 02:14:54.279 but it's actually quite it's quite decent for what it is. 2682 02:14:54.439 --> 02:14:57.359 I like that one. I'll give it. I give it 2683 02:14:57.399 --> 02:14:59.920 a pretty high readon. That's like, that's the only one 2684 02:15:00.119 --> 02:15:02.760 those that exist as far as known. Same thing with 2685 02:15:02.760 --> 02:15:03.920 the Hong Kong Chinatown. 2686 02:15:05.600 --> 02:15:07.239 I'm sure you got this one. Eddie wants to know 2687 02:15:07.239 --> 02:15:10.399 if you've got Dragons Layer Dragons. 2688 02:15:10.439 --> 02:15:14.880 Let you mean those are the games, right? So Laser 2689 02:15:15.000 --> 02:15:18.079 just also made games, so they made like early computer 2690 02:15:18.199 --> 02:15:22.880 video games. I have gotten them and I have sold 2691 02:15:22.920 --> 02:15:25.600 them all because I don't really play any video games, 2692 02:15:25.640 --> 02:15:27.760 and anytime I get a video game one, it just 2693 02:15:27.800 --> 02:15:31.159 goes right out. So I have gotten it twice actually, 2694 02:15:31.520 --> 02:15:33.079 and I have sold it both times. 2695 02:15:34.600 --> 02:15:36.159 I feel like I want to track down a copy 2696 02:15:36.239 --> 02:15:40.760 just to have for the Don Bluth collection. Is there? Wait? 2697 02:15:40.840 --> 02:15:43.319 Did is there? He animates something over. 2698 02:15:43.199 --> 02:15:46.159 That he did? Yeah, he did most of the In fact, 2699 02:15:46.199 --> 02:15:48.640 I think he did like all of the animation, or 2700 02:15:48.800 --> 02:15:50.840 his studio did something like that. 2701 02:15:51.199 --> 02:15:56.119 Yeah, So yeah, they exist. They're really expensive now of course, 2702 02:15:56.119 --> 02:15:58.159 some of those games sell for about a thousand bucks. 2703 02:15:58.680 --> 02:16:00.920 Jesus Christ. Never mind, I don't need to find it. 2704 02:16:01.439 --> 02:16:03.800 Think. I think the dragons Layer one goes like more 2705 02:16:03.840 --> 02:16:06.319 than two hundred dish. I don't know, but I haven't 2706 02:16:06.319 --> 02:16:07.239 sawd him in a long time. 2707 02:16:08.319 --> 02:16:13.479 All right, not as bad, but still bad. Okay, erotic thrillers? 2708 02:16:13.520 --> 02:16:16.319 Why why is the laser disc era so important? And 2709 02:16:16.560 --> 02:16:20.119 tell us about it? Because gosh this we have talked 2710 02:16:20.119 --> 02:16:23.359 about erotic thrillers on laser discs for countless hours together. 2711 02:16:25.520 --> 02:16:28.920 Yeah. Sorry, I'm gonna skip some stuff. I had a 2712 02:16:28.920 --> 02:16:31.279 whole thing, but I am going too long, so let 2713 02:16:31.279 --> 02:16:37.200 me really get going. Okay. So yeah, so like erotic 2714 02:16:37.200 --> 02:16:40.920 thrillers for the DTV market, they really started nineteen ninety 2715 02:16:41.360 --> 02:16:45.399 with Night Eyes. And Night Eyes is directed by jag Mundra, 2716 02:16:45.840 --> 02:16:49.920 who you might recognize from Hacker Lantern and he comes 2717 02:16:50.000 --> 02:16:52.280 up with this movie. And what's important is it has 2718 02:16:52.319 --> 02:16:55.959 Andrew Stevens and Tanya Roberts, who wasn't that seventies show 2719 02:16:56.000 --> 02:17:00.200 I think, right? Yeah, yeah, so this is the first one. 2720 02:17:00.280 --> 02:17:02.959 This thing is made for like a million bucks and 2721 02:17:03.040 --> 02:17:06.840 makes like thirty million dollars, never gets a theatrical release. 2722 02:17:06.840 --> 02:17:12.559 It just makes thirty million dollars selling VHS's laser disc 2723 02:17:12.879 --> 02:17:16.440 rentals pay per views, and so it storre starts a rush, 2724 02:17:17.360 --> 02:17:20.120 and then like a year later after that made someone 2725 02:17:20.200 --> 02:17:21.399 I think it's a year youg and a half later 2726 02:17:21.559 --> 02:17:24.760 they basically make the exact same movie, call it Night 2727 02:17:24.760 --> 02:17:27.959 Eyes two. But now we have Shannon Tweed, and I 2728 02:17:27.959 --> 02:17:29.959 mean Shannon Tweet is in a few movies before this, 2729 02:17:30.840 --> 02:17:33.479 but now we have Shannon Tweed doing this, and then 2730 02:17:33.559 --> 02:17:35.559 if that's not good enough, they'll just make it again 2731 02:17:36.079 --> 02:17:38.959 Night Eyes three, and now it's Tweed and her sister. 2732 02:17:39.239 --> 02:17:42.000 Her sister plays the other one, Tracy Tweed, and this 2733 02:17:42.040 --> 02:17:44.959 is and Andrew Stevens starts directing these. So now Andrew 2734 02:17:45.000 --> 02:17:48.159 Stevens directs this, and then a few years later, try 2735 02:17:48.159 --> 02:17:51.079 one last time. We have Night Eyes four. I only 2736 02:17:51.120 --> 02:17:53.719 have this Singapore release which is slightly cut, but whatever, 2737 02:17:54.920 --> 02:17:57.319 and they do it one more time. And if you think, 2738 02:17:57.319 --> 02:18:01.120 oh this Andrew Stevens guy, he is like a B actor. 2739 02:18:01.520 --> 02:18:03.879 He becomes a bit of a B director and a producer. 2740 02:18:04.200 --> 02:18:06.879 But then he gets involved in I'm going to say 2741 02:18:06.879 --> 02:18:10.239 his name wrong something gallery or gallery or whatever. But 2742 02:18:10.280 --> 02:18:12.360 he ended up working with this company that sort of 2743 02:18:12.559 --> 02:18:15.879 makes vanity projects in Hollywood, like The Whole Nine Yards. 2744 02:18:16.120 --> 02:18:19.000 Do you remember that that's basically a Hollywood vanity project 2745 02:18:19.000 --> 02:18:21.799 that he helped produce. And his mom was a famous 2746 02:18:21.879 --> 02:18:25.440 be actress as well, so she's around for a long time. 2747 02:18:25.639 --> 02:18:28.680 So anyways, he's sort of a peripheral Hollywood player and 2748 02:18:28.719 --> 02:18:31.680 he wrote a book about the business of making movies, 2749 02:18:31.719 --> 02:18:34.719 and he still like gives lectures about making money in 2750 02:18:34.760 --> 02:18:36.959 Hollywood and all this stuff. But he's one of those 2751 02:18:36.959 --> 02:18:39.159 guys that really cashed in on the whole thing. And 2752 02:18:39.200 --> 02:18:43.600 he's fine. He's an okay actor. But I al would say, 2753 02:18:44.079 --> 02:18:46.399 if you were going to get started, Night Eyes is 2754 02:18:46.399 --> 02:18:49.600 a pretty good way to get started. It basically like 2755 02:18:49.799 --> 02:18:52.719 it's super simple. It has all the tropes, but like 2756 02:18:53.479 --> 02:18:58.239 Andrew Stevens runs a company that does security systems, he 2757 02:18:58.319 --> 02:19:00.639 sets one up for a rich guy. The rich guy 2758 02:19:00.680 --> 02:19:02.799 has a hot wife, and then he ends up sleeping 2759 02:19:02.799 --> 02:19:04.920 with the hot wife. And it's the same movie. 2760 02:19:04.760 --> 02:19:07.079 Every single time, as one does. 2761 02:19:07.280 --> 02:19:09.000 But there's a lot of there's a lot of interesting 2762 02:19:09.079 --> 02:19:12.159 things that are happening within it, but it's the same movie. 2763 02:19:14.079 --> 02:19:15.840 And then of course you have Shannon tweeted there's a 2764 02:19:15.840 --> 02:19:18.559 whole ton of these. Uh, and this one I really 2765 02:19:18.600 --> 02:19:22.520 like a lot called Scorned and Scorned. Basically Shannon Tweed's 2766 02:19:22.799 --> 02:19:26.600 husband commits suicide because his boss is a jerk. So 2767 02:19:26.639 --> 02:19:29.920 she becomes like the nanny for that family and very 2768 02:19:29.920 --> 02:19:33.040 hand that Rocks the Cradle style. At first, she seduces 2769 02:19:33.079 --> 02:19:35.559 them and then tries to kill them all. So, if 2770 02:19:35.600 --> 02:19:37.200 you liked Hand the Rock the Cradle, but you really 2771 02:19:37.200 --> 02:19:43.479 wanted more sex boom, Scorned hand it Yeah, yeah, Hand 2772 02:19:43.479 --> 02:19:43.840 the Rock. 2773 02:19:44.280 --> 02:19:44.479 Wait. 2774 02:19:45.000 --> 02:19:46.600 And then if you thought it was good the first time, 2775 02:19:46.600 --> 02:19:50.040 I don't worry. They made it again Scorned too. It's 2776 02:19:50.040 --> 02:19:54.600 at this time. Uh, this time it's a professor and 2777 02:19:54.639 --> 02:19:57.920 as a student, But it's basically the same movie and 2778 02:19:57.920 --> 02:20:03.280 they're both actually quite good. Another weird Laser Disc only 2779 02:20:03.319 --> 02:20:08.000 thing is this movie Crush Crush. So the Crush is 2780 02:20:08.079 --> 02:20:12.520 Lisia Silverstone and Oh Carrie Always. And the thing that 2781 02:20:12.559 --> 02:20:15.520 makes this only available on laser disc is it says 2782 02:20:16.000 --> 02:20:18.600 from the moment the fourteen year old Darien met Nick 2783 02:20:19.079 --> 02:20:21.399 Well in the movie, they say her name all the time. 2784 02:20:21.440 --> 02:20:24.200 It's Darien, Darry and Dari and Darien Well. She was 2785 02:20:24.280 --> 02:20:26.680 quite upset about this, and she sued them and said, 2786 02:20:26.680 --> 02:20:28.479 you don't have the rights to use my name in 2787 02:20:28.520 --> 02:20:30.799 this because based on a true story, and she won. 2788 02:20:31.159 --> 02:20:34.200 So every release after this Laser disc her name is 2789 02:20:34.440 --> 02:20:38.920 Adrian And all they did is dub over Darien with Adrian. 2790 02:20:40.159 --> 02:20:42.120 It doesn't really change the movie, does it. But it's 2791 02:20:42.200 --> 02:20:46.760 kind of interesting interesting. And then if you really want 2792 02:20:46.799 --> 02:20:51.520 to get into the the erotic earlier, there's there's really 2793 02:20:51.799 --> 02:20:54.559 only one person to look at. Like I say, you 2794 02:20:55.159 --> 02:20:57.879 watch a little tweet, you watch night Eyes, and then 2795 02:20:58.280 --> 02:21:00.879 almost nothing else matters. You just want to Gregory Dark 2796 02:21:00.920 --> 02:21:05.280 because what Gregory Dark does fucking fucks like he is. 2797 02:21:06.040 --> 02:21:08.360 He is the Kubrick of these and to an extent 2798 02:21:08.440 --> 02:21:11.840 that is so impressive and you like can't even imagine it. 2799 02:21:11.879 --> 02:21:15.760 So he was bumming around La he likes, shoots some 2800 02:21:15.840 --> 02:21:18.559 music videos here and there. He gets a job editing 2801 02:21:19.399 --> 02:21:22.120 a sort of a documentary about porn, and he's like, 2802 02:21:22.280 --> 02:21:24.639 what is this? I could do better? And he starts. 2803 02:21:24.680 --> 02:21:26.360 He makes a few movies here, he makes a few 2804 02:21:26.360 --> 02:21:29.120 movies there. He's getting better. His early ones are okay, 2805 02:21:29.680 --> 02:21:33.000 and then he comes across and he makes Secret Games. 2806 02:21:33.319 --> 02:21:37.440 And Secret Games is Jade. It's Jade, except the woman 2807 02:21:37.520 --> 02:21:40.479 is really enjoying it. So basically like this woman she's 2808 02:21:40.479 --> 02:21:43.079 a board housewife and she decides to become a high 2809 02:21:43.159 --> 02:21:47.959 class call girl and then all this stuff or whatever ensues. 2810 02:21:49.479 --> 02:21:52.040 What's also kind of amazing is her husband is Billy Drago, 2811 02:21:52.280 --> 02:21:54.639 if you like a little b movie reference. He is 2812 02:21:55.120 --> 02:21:58.959 very much a dick in this movie. But that movie 2813 02:21:59.040 --> 02:22:01.479 is great. And what great Dark does so much better 2814 02:22:01.520 --> 02:22:05.680 than everybody else is he really leans in to the 2815 02:22:05.719 --> 02:22:09.120 erotic part of the erotic thriller without just making it 2816 02:22:09.159 --> 02:22:12.520 like Paul Thomas about the sex scenes. So he takes 2817 02:22:12.520 --> 02:22:17.440 these plots that are like very film noirri or very 2818 02:22:17.520 --> 02:22:20.360 much like a Hollywood movie, and then he really ups 2819 02:22:20.399 --> 02:22:22.040 the sex and he films it in a way that 2820 02:22:22.200 --> 02:22:28.280 is like at least heteronormatively, like visually pleasurable, Like it's 2821 02:22:28.360 --> 02:22:31.680 meant to look good. It's not like it's not meant 2822 02:22:31.760 --> 02:22:34.760 to be fumbling or it's not meant to be like 2823 02:22:34.799 --> 02:22:37.000 Henry in June when like you know, they go to 2824 02:22:37.040 --> 02:22:39.280 the bordella and just sort of like this is this 2825 02:22:39.319 --> 02:22:41.879 does not work, none of his themes A I sort 2826 02:22:41.920 --> 02:22:44.040 of liked that they lean in and they go for it, 2827 02:22:44.600 --> 02:22:46.639 and then of course after he makes the first one, 2828 02:22:47.040 --> 02:22:49.079 you gotta do it again. It's up. This time you 2829 02:22:49.120 --> 02:22:51.680 switch it and now instead of the woman, it's the 2830 02:22:51.719 --> 02:22:54.799 man who's an artist, and he has to go investigate 2831 02:22:55.239 --> 02:22:58.479 a bordella to see what it would be like. And then, 2832 02:22:58.559 --> 02:23:00.479 just because you know worth the first time, let's just 2833 02:23:00.559 --> 02:23:04.239 remake the first one and call it three. So this 2834 02:23:04.319 --> 02:23:05.920 is a kind of a trope for then all of it, 2835 02:23:06.680 --> 02:23:09.959 and then and then after that he makes a pair 2836 02:23:10.000 --> 02:23:14.600 of really good ones. Mirror Images is great. It's really great. 2837 02:23:14.680 --> 02:23:18.399 It's basically like, you know, these two sisters. They're twins, 2838 02:23:18.760 --> 02:23:21.920 ones like frigid and one sort of wild, and then 2839 02:23:22.040 --> 02:23:25.399 one one's married to a senator I think, and the 2840 02:23:25.440 --> 02:23:27.520 other is just sort of like she's like a rock star. 2841 02:23:27.920 --> 02:23:30.239 And then they get into all sorts of shenanigans. But 2842 02:23:30.280 --> 02:23:32.879 it's actually played by two different people. In this original one, 2843 02:23:33.920 --> 02:23:36.360 Julie Strain is in it. And then of course that 2844 02:23:36.399 --> 02:23:39.239 word works so well. Then remade it again, but this time, 2845 02:23:39.479 --> 02:23:41.920 and this is where he really nails it. He remakes 2846 02:23:41.920 --> 02:23:46.040 it with my absolute favorite erotic thriller actor, Shannon Worry. 2847 02:23:47.319 --> 02:23:51.639 She she's like brings everything that he does to the 2848 02:23:51.760 --> 02:23:57.319 end degree nice. So while a lot of the other actresses, 2849 02:23:57.399 --> 02:24:00.200 like you know, they might have been nude models or 2850 02:24:00.360 --> 02:24:04.479 penthouse playmates or somewhat actors or whatever, they never could 2851 02:24:04.520 --> 02:24:08.040 really act act They were like decent, but they're like 2852 02:24:08.120 --> 02:24:10.360 a little stilted, kind of like I think Tweeds a 2853 02:24:10.360 --> 02:24:15.760 little stilted. Shannon Worry came from off Broadway, classically trained background. 2854 02:24:16.639 --> 02:24:19.520 She's in like some bad Cigall movie or a couple 2855 02:24:19.520 --> 02:24:23.000 other things, bumming around, and then ends up in his movies. 2856 02:24:24.399 --> 02:24:27.360 And she is great, Like, she's so great. I don't 2857 02:24:27.399 --> 02:24:29.719 really do this often, but I ordered an autograph of her. 2858 02:24:29.760 --> 02:24:33.600 She's also in Me, Myself and Irene, and I got 2859 02:24:33.639 --> 02:24:35.959 her an autograph of her just because I think she's 2860 02:24:36.000 --> 02:24:39.159 awesome and she really brings it to the degree. And 2861 02:24:39.159 --> 02:24:42.159 then this all is really taken to the best. So 2862 02:24:42.239 --> 02:24:45.159 if you're into these erotic thrillers and you're enjoying it 2863 02:24:45.440 --> 02:24:47.760 and you're like, oh, this Gregory Darko guy's cool, and 2864 02:24:47.799 --> 02:24:51.079 this Shannon Worry is interesting, this is the movie to 2865 02:24:51.159 --> 02:24:56.440 see called Animal Instincts, and Animal Instincts puts it all together. 2866 02:24:56.799 --> 02:25:00.319 In the perfect movie. You got this woman who whose 2867 02:25:00.520 --> 02:25:04.399 husband is a cop, and she's bored and he's like 2868 02:25:04.479 --> 02:25:07.799 only soda so interested in her, and they decide to 2869 02:25:07.959 --> 02:25:10.799 place a personal ad for men or people to come 2870 02:25:10.840 --> 02:25:13.000 over and have sex with her while he watches on 2871 02:25:13.040 --> 02:25:16.120 a closed circuit camera, and he really gets off on this, 2872 02:25:16.200 --> 02:25:18.840 and then the relationship blossoms and they love each other 2873 02:25:18.879 --> 02:25:22.399 even more. But then some other people, nefarious people, find 2874 02:25:22.399 --> 02:25:24.680 out about the whole scheme and will it bring him down? 2875 02:25:24.680 --> 02:25:29.239 And will it won't? For this movie great, this is 2876 02:25:29.319 --> 02:25:31.600 like this is another one that's like a real five 2877 02:25:31.639 --> 02:25:34.760 star movie from me. And one of the crazy things 2878 02:25:34.760 --> 02:25:37.200 about why this is a five star movie is not 2879 02:25:37.239 --> 02:25:40.319 only was it directed by Great Darko, it was shot 2880 02:25:40.920 --> 02:25:45.639 by Wally Fister, who went on to shoot most of 2881 02:25:45.680 --> 02:25:48.319 Nolan's movies until they had a falling out. So this 2882 02:25:48.360 --> 02:25:50.879 is where Wally Fister got to start, is he got 2883 02:25:50.920 --> 02:25:54.399 to start making these erotic thrillers and Animal Instincts. Animal 2884 02:25:54.399 --> 02:25:57.280 Instincts was cut so like the negative was cut. It 2885 02:25:57.280 --> 02:26:02.360 was released in Germany and Japan on screen. So and 2886 02:26:02.399 --> 02:26:05.040 then they remake it again, of course, and they remake 2887 02:26:05.079 --> 02:26:07.840 it again and this time she's on her own and 2888 02:26:07.879 --> 02:26:09.959 it's basically the same movie, but it's almost just as 2889 02:26:10.000 --> 02:26:13.040 good and then they make it a third time, but no, 2890 02:26:13.200 --> 02:26:15.920 Shannon worry. And this is at the end of Greg 2891 02:26:16.000 --> 02:26:19.120 darktor A's aroundic thriller career. And this is an angry, 2892 02:26:19.319 --> 02:26:23.879 angry movie about like how all of his life has 2893 02:26:23.879 --> 02:26:26.520 been a waste and there's like a blind man who 2894 02:26:26.520 --> 02:26:29.680 can actually see and how this whole thing is a farce. 2895 02:26:30.079 --> 02:26:33.000 It's basically like Greg Darko yelling at everybody, saying, like 2896 02:26:33.479 --> 02:26:36.239 you all a bunch of posers. I don't like you, 2897 02:26:36.479 --> 02:26:37.959 and why do you even buy my movies? And they're 2898 02:26:37.959 --> 02:26:41.479 gonna make these again. Yeah, And that's the end of 2899 02:26:41.520 --> 02:26:44.159 his ironic thrillers. So that, I mean, I have more 2900 02:26:44.200 --> 02:26:47.079 things that I could share, but that's like a decent start, 2901 02:26:47.159 --> 02:26:49.159 and feel free to interrupt and go from there. 2902 02:26:49.600 --> 02:26:51.360 Well, the other thing I said we were going to 2903 02:26:51.440 --> 02:26:54.440 talk about later is something that you helped me with 2904 02:26:54.520 --> 02:26:58.440 actually is a players for anybody interested in laser discs. 2905 02:26:58.440 --> 02:27:00.280 In his twenty twenty six what do we do about 2906 02:27:00.280 --> 02:27:03.239 players because obviously we're not manufacturing brand new players every year. 2907 02:27:03.319 --> 02:27:05.840 Yeah, there's no more players. The last actually players were 2908 02:27:06.079 --> 02:27:09.760 made and around two thousand and nine because they were 2909 02:27:09.760 --> 02:27:12.799 combo players for a little while and Pioneer service them 2910 02:27:12.799 --> 02:27:15.879 for a little after that. But yeah, getting players nowadays 2911 02:27:15.920 --> 02:27:23.760 is tricky. So certain parts of the players are easy 2912 02:27:23.799 --> 02:27:25.440 to fix. There's a bunch of rubber bands in them 2913 02:27:25.440 --> 02:27:27.239 that you can replace. There's some things called a grip 2914 02:27:27.319 --> 02:27:30.200 rain that you can replace. The laser, if it dies 2915 02:27:31.000 --> 02:27:34.760 is pretty much dead, and then there are some of 2916 02:27:34.799 --> 02:27:36.719 the gears that you can grease up and get back 2917 02:27:36.719 --> 02:27:39.920 to working. You know, it's mostly a mechanical mechanism, and 2918 02:27:39.959 --> 02:27:44.680 then it's the laser, so you know, people can fix them. Honestly, 2919 02:27:44.719 --> 02:27:48.760 most of the time the lasers don't die, so you 2920 02:27:48.799 --> 02:27:51.600 can get them fixed. Now if you live in a 2921 02:27:51.719 --> 02:27:56.280 big city like New York or LA or Chicago, you 2922 02:27:56.280 --> 02:28:00.479 can usually find them within driving distance on Facebook marketplace list. 2923 02:28:02.360 --> 02:28:06.159 You know, really, for what a starter is going to do, 2924 02:28:06.200 --> 02:28:10.239 any laser dis player that works is great. The funny 2925 02:28:10.239 --> 02:28:11.680 thing is you go up and up and up in 2926 02:28:11.760 --> 02:28:17.079 laser discs players, it gets incredibly expensive. And what you're 2927 02:28:17.120 --> 02:28:20.000 looking for is your signal to noise ratio. Because you remember, 2928 02:28:20.000 --> 02:28:23.079 you have an analog format, so you're not using any 2929 02:28:23.159 --> 02:28:27.399 digital outs, and the low end players, the signal to 2930 02:28:27.479 --> 02:28:30.799 noise ratio will be something like fifty seven fifty eight 2931 02:28:30.840 --> 02:28:33.600 TB And what that really means is how much you 2932 02:28:33.719 --> 02:28:36.479 signally going to get before your blacks become a mess. 2933 02:28:36.840 --> 02:28:39.799 And fifty seven fifty eight is like pretty low. It's 2934 02:28:39.799 --> 02:28:41.879 about as low as it gets. Most of them are 2935 02:28:41.879 --> 02:28:44.040 in the sixties. And then when you get to the 2936 02:28:44.120 --> 02:28:46.040 upper upper end ones like when the guy's talking about 2937 02:28:46.040 --> 02:28:49.159 the news players, which is all that I use because 2938 02:28:49.159 --> 02:28:53.280 I'm crazy. You have to get those from Japan. You 2939 02:28:53.319 --> 02:28:55.440 have to be really careful how they come in, and 2940 02:28:55.440 --> 02:28:58.959 then you have to you know, you have to get 2941 02:28:59.000 --> 02:29:03.000 them worked on, then tweaked, and then you might get 2942 02:29:03.040 --> 02:29:07.280 about seventy four seventy five dB signal the noise ratio. 2943 02:29:07.559 --> 02:29:09.360 And when you do that and you put it through 2944 02:29:09.399 --> 02:29:12.040 a nice scaler and you put it through a nice 2945 02:29:12.040 --> 02:29:17.000 projector and you get a decent image, it's not terrible. 2946 02:29:17.319 --> 02:29:22.760 No So can't find them really, especially not brand new. 2947 02:29:22.840 --> 02:29:24.639 I mean you can, you can, you can, You're not 2948 02:29:24.719 --> 02:29:26.639 in brand new, but you can get them places. But 2949 02:29:26.680 --> 02:29:28.760 when you buy them on eBay, for the most part, 2950 02:29:28.760 --> 02:29:30.239 people stick it in a box and they send it 2951 02:29:30.280 --> 02:29:33.879 to you and it's they always come broken. It's really, really, 2952 02:29:33.879 --> 02:29:36.639 really hard to ship a Lasers player. If you're gonna 2953 02:29:36.639 --> 02:29:38.200 ship a Layers player, you buy an eBay, you gotta 2954 02:29:38.239 --> 02:29:40.399 tell them I need you to put it in a box, 2955 02:29:40.799 --> 02:29:42.639 and I need you to put a bunch of pmies 2956 02:29:42.639 --> 02:29:44.559 in a box. Put it in that box, put more 2957 02:29:44.600 --> 02:29:47.360 fomis in that box, make it super tight. Then take 2958 02:29:47.399 --> 02:29:50.000 that box, wrap it in bubble wrap, put a bunch 2959 02:29:50.000 --> 02:29:52.639 of homies in another box, put that box in a box, 2960 02:29:53.120 --> 02:29:54.719 and then send it to me. And that's really the 2961 02:29:54.719 --> 02:29:55.600 only way they'll survive. 2962 02:29:57.079 --> 02:30:01.399 And if somebody is going after one. What is the 2963 02:30:01.639 --> 02:30:03.559 expected price to pay in twenty twenty six for a 2964 02:30:03.680 --> 02:30:05.239 natury level pleasure displayer? 2965 02:30:05.319 --> 02:30:07.079 I think the more or less the cheapest ones you're 2966 02:30:07.079 --> 02:30:10.399 going to get that work about one hundred and fifty bucks. 2967 02:30:10.799 --> 02:30:13.200 I think if you want something like that's a little 2968 02:30:13.239 --> 02:30:15.440 more medium, I would expect to pay about two hundred 2969 02:30:15.440 --> 02:30:19.600 fifty dollars. You don't actually need an s video out. 2970 02:30:19.760 --> 02:30:22.079 The best thing to do is to use the yellow 2971 02:30:22.159 --> 02:30:26.239 the composite out and then put it through anything else, 2972 02:30:26.559 --> 02:30:30.040 any modern system, because because again you have an analog 2973 02:30:30.120 --> 02:30:32.040 format and a composite is going to send out two 2974 02:30:32.079 --> 02:30:35.319 things illuminance and chrominans. The Y and C, and so 2975 02:30:35.479 --> 02:30:38.040 you need a comb filter that separates out that yn 2976 02:30:38.159 --> 02:30:41.680 C S video does it in the player, but the 2977 02:30:41.719 --> 02:30:44.760 player is thirty five years old. Anything that you have 2978 02:30:44.879 --> 02:30:47.840 now is going to have a better comb filter than 2979 02:30:47.879 --> 02:30:50.360 that thirty five year old player. And if you get 2980 02:30:50.399 --> 02:30:53.000 some really fancy things, and actually if you get a 2981 02:30:53.040 --> 02:30:56.600 receiver from around twenty ten twenty eleven, those are the 2982 02:30:56.639 --> 02:30:59.040 best comebe filters around and you can get those really 2983 02:30:59.040 --> 02:31:01.520 really cheap, which see what I use for most. 2984 02:31:01.399 --> 02:31:06.520 Of my stuff, And you smell laser discs quite a lot, 2985 02:31:06.959 --> 02:31:07.280 so I. 2986 02:31:07.559 --> 02:31:10.840 Don't The cell is like, is like a little bit 2987 02:31:10.920 --> 02:31:12.760 nebulous because what I really do is I just drop 2988 02:31:12.879 --> 02:31:15.079 them off in Kansas near you, and my brother takes 2989 02:31:15.079 --> 02:31:18.200 care of all of it. But yeah, I mean I 2990 02:31:18.239 --> 02:31:20.879 do privately sell here and there, but I haven't privately 2991 02:31:20.879 --> 02:31:25.319 sold much in years. Most of my really high value 2992 02:31:25.319 --> 02:31:27.959 stuff is gone that I have doubles of, so that's 2993 02:31:28.000 --> 02:31:31.959 he's just like selling the chum. He did sell a 2994 02:31:32.000 --> 02:31:34.600 Friday the thirteenth, three this last week for like one 2995 02:31:34.680 --> 02:31:38.440 hundred and thirty bucks, so that's not bad. 2996 02:31:39.200 --> 02:31:42.719 But yeah, we talked a couple of the exclusives earlier. 2997 02:31:42.799 --> 02:31:44.559 What are some of the more well known things that 2998 02:31:44.600 --> 02:31:46.159 are stuck on laser disc. I know, the one that 2999 02:31:46.159 --> 02:31:48.399 I was going to bring up is the original scream. 3000 02:31:48.879 --> 02:31:50.879 The only way to see that uncut is still on 3001 02:31:51.000 --> 02:31:51.559 laser disc. 3002 02:31:52.159 --> 02:31:56.120 Yes, Screams on laser discs, I mean, and more and more. 3003 02:31:56.200 --> 02:32:01.120 I don't actually quite know what it's like laser disc 3004 02:32:01.200 --> 02:32:04.760 exclusive as far as like features and whatnot. I mean, 3005 02:32:04.840 --> 02:32:07.159 there's a lot of commentaries that didn't get poured over 3006 02:32:07.239 --> 02:32:10.280 for various reasons, like I think even like I was 3007 02:32:10.319 --> 02:32:12.399 saying the Sixth Day, But there's also The Sixth Man, 3008 02:32:13.280 --> 02:32:20.040 which I think it's like a basketball comedy. Ye, I'm sorry, 3009 02:32:20.120 --> 02:32:23.719 and it had an exclusive commentary. 3010 02:32:24.639 --> 02:32:29.959 Interesting. Robert wants to know, in regards to shipping, how 3011 02:32:29.959 --> 02:32:32.000 many discs do you have they get destroyed due to 3012 02:32:32.040 --> 02:32:32.639 poor shipping. 3013 02:32:35.360 --> 02:32:38.840 I've had a few. I did have Trauma's Mother get 3014 02:32:38.879 --> 02:32:41.959 destroyed and shipping, and it took me about six years 3015 02:32:41.959 --> 02:32:43.040 to find another copy. 3016 02:32:43.920 --> 02:32:44.440 Jeez. 3017 02:32:44.799 --> 02:32:50.600 Yeah, and it was like ten times a price. It 3018 02:32:50.680 --> 02:32:54.200 happened sometimes. Honestly, it doesn't happen a ton since I 3019 02:32:54.280 --> 02:32:57.680 stopped getting mailed to my house. The ups people that 3020 02:32:57.760 --> 02:33:00.760 hold it for me are lovely and they're my friends, 3021 02:33:00.760 --> 02:33:03.239 and they seem to keep it very nice, so I 3022 02:33:03.280 --> 02:33:04.040 go there. 3023 02:33:05.520 --> 02:33:09.360 Nice anymore. Oh yeah, Patty boy, I think somebody else 3024 02:33:09.360 --> 02:33:11.760 would ask about this. The Double oh seven canceled audio 3025 02:33:11.799 --> 02:33:13.000 commentary at Laser disc. 3026 02:33:12.959 --> 02:33:14.840 Yeah, I have all those. Those are all in the Criterion. 3027 02:33:14.959 --> 02:33:18.440 So if you're looking for the three Double oh seven commentaries. 3028 02:33:18.799 --> 02:33:22.120 They released the lasers just twice. It's like, I don't 3029 02:33:22.120 --> 02:33:24.760 remember the adapt number. Sixty nine, seventy and seventy one 3030 02:33:25.000 --> 02:33:27.360 are the spine numbers, and they also release them with 3031 02:33:27.399 --> 02:33:29.520 an A, so it's like sixty nine A, seventy A, 3032 02:33:29.879 --> 02:33:33.719 seventy one A. All the a's have no commentary. All 3033 02:33:33.799 --> 02:33:37.360 the non a's are gatefold and they do have the commentaries. 3034 02:33:38.440 --> 02:33:41.799 Interesting. And then Roger Rabbit, who framed Roger Rabbit, the 3035 02:33:41.840 --> 02:33:44.040 original Natty animated version, is there. 3036 02:33:44.680 --> 02:33:47.159 Yeah, so I have that, But I also have the 3037 02:33:47.200 --> 02:33:51.959 best of Roger Rabbit animations. These are the three original shorts. 3038 02:33:53.840 --> 02:33:56.000 I think maybe these have come out eventually, but for 3039 02:33:56.040 --> 02:33:58.760 the longest time, these are the only ways to see these. 3040 02:34:00.079 --> 02:34:01.799 M that's super cool. 3041 02:34:01.799 --> 02:34:05.159 And then if you want another really really inappropriate animation, 3042 02:34:05.520 --> 02:34:09.440 just because I know you love animation, this is incredibly 3043 02:34:09.440 --> 02:34:15.719 hard to find. Oh damn, I won't say what the 3044 02:34:16.200 --> 02:34:18.719 I won't say what they call it in uh on 3045 02:34:18.799 --> 02:34:20.719 the DVD. There is a DVD that released, but they 3046 02:34:20.719 --> 02:34:23.600 don't use this title. They use a slightly different one. 3047 02:34:23.920 --> 02:34:25.719 But this is a this is a very weird movie. 3048 02:34:25.879 --> 02:34:27.879 And this is the only one I've actually come across. 3049 02:34:27.600 --> 02:34:31.399 Of it actually street fight and the cover art is great. 3050 02:34:31.520 --> 02:34:32.760 That is incredible. 3051 02:34:33.280 --> 02:34:40.000 Yeah, that's very cool. There's also a ton of people like, like, 3052 02:34:40.079 --> 02:34:42.879 the other fun thing that you can find semi exclusive 3053 02:34:42.920 --> 02:34:48.360 to laserness is be action movies. So I really like 3054 02:34:48.440 --> 02:34:50.319 this movie. I watched it. So this is only released 3055 02:34:50.360 --> 02:34:56.200 in Indonesia called Supervites, but it's made in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. 3056 02:34:56.360 --> 02:34:58.840 But it's by a Hong Kong director. He had just 3057 02:34:58.920 --> 02:35:02.159 come over. He didn't even speak any English. And it's 3058 02:35:02.159 --> 02:35:04.079 basically about this guy who wants to be an MMA 3059 02:35:04.159 --> 02:35:06.440 fighter they don't really quite call it then, and he's 3060 02:35:06.440 --> 02:35:08.600 got to like take on all these other super fighters 3061 02:35:08.879 --> 02:35:11.360 and this like terrible guy that just tries to drug 3062 02:35:11.399 --> 02:35:14.639 him all up. But that's what documentary is a documentary. 3063 02:35:14.959 --> 02:35:17.479 It was mixed by a colleague of mine, so I 3064 02:35:18.079 --> 02:35:19.799 the credits and I was like, holy shit, I know 3065 02:35:19.840 --> 02:35:22.079 this guy. So I called him up and I was like, hey, 3066 02:35:22.399 --> 02:35:24.440 I can't believe you met you mix like the best 3067 02:35:24.479 --> 02:35:26.959 movie ever super Fights, and he's like, don't talk to 3068 02:35:27.000 --> 02:35:29.399 me about that, and he like, he's like, it was 3069 02:35:29.440 --> 02:35:31.600 a bad time in my life. I don't want to 3070 02:35:31.639 --> 02:35:32.200 discuss it. 3071 02:35:32.520 --> 02:35:33.360 So oops. 3072 02:35:33.840 --> 02:35:37.959 But but fair enough. I mean he's actually he's a 3073 02:35:38.079 --> 02:35:40.399 much more famous than I am, very famous tomes it, 3074 02:35:40.639 --> 02:35:42.360 so he doesn't really want to talk about super Fights. 3075 02:35:43.280 --> 02:35:46.959 Nice? Nice, all right? Any other any other laser just 3076 02:35:47.159 --> 02:35:51.600 questions from the chat? Yeah, I can't think of much else. 3077 02:35:54.200 --> 02:35:56.000 I'll dropped like two more things and I'll let you go. 3078 02:35:57.000 --> 02:35:59.559 So Trauma also released a ton of stuff on laser disc. 3079 02:36:00.120 --> 02:36:03.479 They did, so this is Troma's war. Their covers are 3080 02:36:03.520 --> 02:36:04.559 awesome on laser disc. 3081 02:36:05.799 --> 02:36:08.120 This is one I would not be surprised at all 3082 02:36:08.280 --> 02:36:11.959 if this was a vinegar syndrome four K eventually. 3083 02:36:11.719 --> 02:36:13.840 I hope. So this is a fun movie. Yeah, so 3084 02:36:13.920 --> 02:36:17.680 that's a very cool one. And then people like to 3085 02:36:17.719 --> 02:36:20.280 talk about like going complete on an actor or an actress. 3086 02:36:20.680 --> 02:36:23.559 But the only way to go complete when Pamela Anderson 3087 02:36:24.200 --> 02:36:26.639 is with naked souls from an Indonesian laser. 3088 02:36:26.360 --> 02:36:30.280 Disc, Oh my gosh. 3089 02:36:30.319 --> 02:36:32.520 And then if you really want to go deep and crazy, 3090 02:36:32.959 --> 02:36:36.120 so many people might know some of these had come 3091 02:36:36.159 --> 02:36:41.879 out recently, but our good friend Cynthia Rothrock had a 3092 02:36:41.879 --> 02:36:44.639 bunch of random Hong Kong ones. So this is a 3093 02:36:44.799 --> 02:36:46.639 Prince of the Sun, which I don't think has come 3094 02:36:46.680 --> 02:36:47.079 out yet. 3095 02:36:47.959 --> 02:36:48.399 Nice. 3096 02:36:48.719 --> 02:36:52.159 And then Vinegar Syndrome released the Writing Wrongs cut of 3097 02:36:52.479 --> 02:36:56.559 this is a weird cut called Bloody Mary Bloody Mary Killer, 3098 02:36:56.760 --> 02:37:01.000 but they released it eventually on their Writing Wrongs. And 3099 02:37:01.000 --> 02:37:03.600 then just because you're like, oh, Cynthia Rothrock, she's such 3100 02:37:03.600 --> 02:37:07.399 a great action actor. I wonder what else she could do. Well, 3101 02:37:07.440 --> 02:37:10.319 she was in an erotic thriller called Fatal Passion. 3102 02:37:11.200 --> 02:37:11.680 Nice. 3103 02:37:11.920 --> 02:37:14.159 So if you ever want to see Cynthia rock Rock 3104 02:37:14.520 --> 02:37:18.440 acting an ironic thriller, you gotta find this Indonesian laser disc. 3105 02:37:18.520 --> 02:37:19.120 So good luck. 3106 02:37:19.680 --> 02:37:21.319 Take that to a can and get Cynthia to sign 3107 02:37:21.399 --> 02:37:21.719 that one. 3108 02:37:22.760 --> 02:37:24.840 I've never been I'd be interesting. I wonder if she would. 3109 02:37:25.440 --> 02:37:28.559 I'm sure we get a question, what's your favorite obscure 3110 02:37:28.680 --> 02:37:30.159 Hong Kong laser disc that you have? 3111 02:37:30.719 --> 02:37:33.600 Well, look at that great question. This was made me 3112 02:37:33.680 --> 02:37:36.079 my I wrote about this in the articles because I 3113 02:37:36.079 --> 02:37:38.639 love this movie so much, called All of a Sudden. 3114 02:37:39.079 --> 02:37:43.520 You can find it now nicely done on the Internet archive, 3115 02:37:43.879 --> 02:37:45.879 but I didn't know that at the time. This movie 3116 02:37:45.920 --> 02:37:50.079 is amazing. It's basically like who done it? So it 3117 02:37:50.120 --> 02:37:51.959 starts off with like a naked woman who falls out 3118 02:37:52.000 --> 02:37:53.920 of the sky and lands on the car, and then 3119 02:37:53.920 --> 02:37:57.040 it's sort of a cop and an investigation and kidnapping 3120 02:37:57.239 --> 02:38:00.479 and it's all the salmon lamb and it's is cat 3121 02:38:00.479 --> 02:38:02.680 to be But this is like, this is like as 3122 02:38:02.719 --> 02:38:05.840 the handover is happening. So this is like the end 3123 02:38:05.879 --> 02:38:08.079 of a Cat three movie, the a Cat three era 3124 02:38:08.399 --> 02:38:11.040 and the start of a brief period of a bunch 3125 02:38:11.079 --> 02:38:13.239 of Cat two b things. But this one is great 3126 02:38:13.280 --> 02:38:15.440 all of a Sudden, there's one hundred percent we're seeing 3127 02:38:17.559 --> 02:38:20.319 And then I also really like this movie. But everybody 3128 02:38:20.319 --> 02:38:21.879 knows this one, but I think this is called the 3129 02:38:21.959 --> 02:38:25.360 Naked Killer. This is the Taiwanese Lazerness. And I don't 3130 02:38:25.399 --> 02:38:28.440 know everything about what's cut, what's uncut, whatever you want 3131 02:38:28.479 --> 02:38:30.000 to call it. But as far as I know, this 3132 02:38:30.079 --> 02:38:33.719 is about as uncut as it gets. I mean, maybe 3133 02:38:33.719 --> 02:38:36.079 there's other stuff. I'm not sure, but I'm telling you 3134 02:38:36.120 --> 02:38:39.239 watching this is plenty of uncut for me. I love 3135 02:38:39.239 --> 02:38:40.079 this movie as well. 3136 02:38:41.319 --> 02:38:42.840 I don't. I don't remember. Do we go over this? 3137 02:38:42.879 --> 02:38:44.840 What what is the most valuable one that you owned? 3138 02:38:44.840 --> 02:38:46.239 Do you know that? Answer? Off hand? 3139 02:38:46.559 --> 02:38:49.000 I do know, but that's okay. I mean there there, 3140 02:38:49.040 --> 02:38:51.399 there are there, there are like I own several that 3141 02:38:51.440 --> 02:38:59.680 are worth over one thousand dollars Jesus, yeah. 3142 02:38:58.040 --> 02:38:59.319 Any any titles off hand? 3143 02:38:59.879 --> 02:39:03.840 I mean the Prince of Tide sells for a thousand books. Wow, yeah, 3144 02:39:05.479 --> 02:39:09.319 the sixth the sixth Man, the sixth Day. I actually 3145 02:39:09.799 --> 02:39:12.399 made a really nice There's a guy in Germany who 3146 02:39:12.479 --> 02:39:16.920 collects erotic thrillers as well, and I actually sent him 3147 02:39:17.319 --> 02:39:19.760 because I at first this is actually what I was 3148 02:39:19.760 --> 02:39:22.040 gonna talk about. But this is called the Pamelet principle 3149 02:39:22.040 --> 02:39:26.360 too seduce me. He couldn't find it at all, and 3150 02:39:26.440 --> 02:39:30.600 I accidentainly found two on purpose maybe, and I used 3151 02:39:30.600 --> 02:39:34.120 that in a bunch of other erotic thriller things to 3152 02:39:34.159 --> 02:39:36.120 sort of bargain down the price. And I got that 3153 02:39:36.159 --> 02:39:39.440 for I think a reasonable price, one hundreds of dollars 3154 02:39:39.479 --> 02:39:40.879 and it's worth like two grand. 3155 02:39:41.760 --> 02:39:44.959 Not too bad. I actually wanted to know the answer 3156 02:39:44.959 --> 02:39:47.120 to this one too. Gary wants to Was there ever 3157 02:39:47.319 --> 02:39:48.799 three D on laser disc? 3158 02:39:49.000 --> 02:39:52.120 Yeah? So in Japan they released three D love Making, 3159 02:39:52.440 --> 02:39:55.040 so you can watch with your three D glasses some 3160 02:39:55.120 --> 02:40:00.200 really bad like blurry people do different positions to is 3161 02:40:00.239 --> 02:40:03.399 you can learn. There's also an American roller Coaster three D, 3162 02:40:03.760 --> 02:40:05.920 so you can put on your three D classes and 3163 02:40:05.959 --> 02:40:08.600 be the POV of a roller coaster, which is the 3164 02:40:08.639 --> 02:40:12.280 most nauseating thing. Uh. Those are the two that I 3165 02:40:12.319 --> 02:40:16.280 know off of hand. No, there's another one. There's one 3166 02:40:16.319 --> 02:40:20.000 movie I think too, but not Flesh for Frankenstein. But 3167 02:40:20.079 --> 02:40:21.680 there's a couple. There might be one or two movies, 3168 02:40:21.719 --> 02:40:22.440 but I know those dudes. 3169 02:40:22.479 --> 02:40:27.120 It's that's so specific. Not Flesh for Sprinkenstein. All right, 3170 02:40:27.360 --> 02:40:30.559 that's got that's interesting, the three D on laser disc. 3171 02:40:30.719 --> 02:40:37.520 Huh all right, yeah, I'll say one more thing. What 3172 02:40:37.520 --> 02:40:40.440 we're sort of in the Hong Kong thing. One one 3173 02:40:40.479 --> 02:40:42.959 thing when I'm buying a lot of Hong Kong movies 3174 02:40:43.920 --> 02:40:47.680 is uh, like things just pop up, so like, you know, 3175 02:40:47.719 --> 02:40:50.840 whatever this is, it's just some movie. You look at 3176 02:40:50.840 --> 02:40:54.399 the back it says it's Cat three, it's called Club Girl, 3177 02:40:54.920 --> 02:40:57.120 and you're like, okay, what in the world is that? 3178 02:40:57.520 --> 02:41:00.000 So you go on Letterbox, it doesn't have a review. 3179 02:41:00.040 --> 02:41:03.479 You go on the IMDb, there is no review. You 3180 02:41:03.600 --> 02:41:06.600 go on Hong Kong Movie Database and it'll say nothing. 3181 02:41:07.120 --> 02:41:12.239 So this movie it's just here, and that's like it 3182 02:41:13.200 --> 02:41:15.840 like whether that's good, whether that's bad. You know, I 3183 02:41:16.360 --> 02:41:18.280 saw most of it. It's a little boring. They made 3184 02:41:18.280 --> 02:41:20.000 a lot of these. So they made a lot of 3185 02:41:20.000 --> 02:41:24.639 these dramas that are sort of about we would I 3186 02:41:24.639 --> 02:41:26.879 guess they translated as club girl, but really what it 3187 02:41:26.920 --> 02:41:28.760 is is sort of like you want to go to 3188 02:41:28.840 --> 02:41:30.879 a bar or a nightclub and have a pretty lady 3189 02:41:31.079 --> 02:41:33.799 interact with you, and so you sort of pay them 3190 02:41:33.799 --> 02:41:38.840 for their time and you feed them drinks. So it's 3191 02:41:38.840 --> 02:41:42.239 a drama about that. There's not a lot of but 3192 02:41:43.440 --> 02:41:45.520 you know, there's a lot of those kind of styles. 3193 02:41:45.559 --> 02:41:48.239 So you just find these things that just disappeared. They're gone. 3194 02:41:48.760 --> 02:41:51.239 Yeah, Robert was pointing out something I've only fan of 3195 02:41:51.360 --> 02:41:53.600 Laser disc a matter of degrees with Ari Gross and 3196 02:41:53.639 --> 02:41:58.200 Tom Sizemore W T.

Eddie wanted to know if you had DTS titles. 3202 02:42:10.440 --> 02:42:14.479 Yeah, I have almost all of them. I'm missing I'm 3203 02:42:14.479 --> 02:42:15.399 missing four, I. 3204 02:42:15.280 --> 02:42:17.559 Believe, not too bad. 3205 02:42:17.920 --> 02:42:20.159 Yeah, I have all the U I have all the 3206 02:42:20.239 --> 02:42:26.479 Japanese ones, and I'm pretty sure. I'm pretty sure I'm 3207 02:42:26.479 --> 02:42:29.079 missing four. I don't know if I have a matter 3208 02:42:29.079 --> 02:42:33.200 of degrees. Although my internet's really or my US really 3209 02:42:33.239 --> 02:42:34.760 slow because we've been streaming for a long time. 3210 02:42:35.200 --> 02:42:39.680 Yeah. On that note, Uh yeah, Paul had this question earlier. 3211 02:42:39.719 --> 02:42:42.280 I forgot to ask. Did they do TV shows? Not 3212 02:42:42.360 --> 02:42:43.840 TV movies, but TV shows? 3213 02:42:44.079 --> 02:42:46.680 Yeah, tons of them, and in Japan they released some beautiful, 3214 02:42:46.719 --> 02:42:50.799 beautiful box sets of them. So things like X Files 3215 02:42:50.799 --> 02:42:54.120 exists Ers all on laser disc. 3216 02:42:55.479 --> 02:42:59.520 Hell mhmm, the entirety of Ears on laser disc. 3217 02:42:59.719 --> 02:43:02.000 Yep, we got the whole thing. And you know, remember 3218 02:43:02.000 --> 02:43:04.719 how they did a live episode twice. You can get 3219 02:43:04.719 --> 02:43:13.399 it on both sides. They have so friends, so if 3220 02:43:13.399 --> 02:43:15.239 you want to talk about red things, they don't have friends. 3221 02:43:15.559 --> 02:43:18.680 They release the pilot but only on Singapore laser disc, 3222 02:43:19.319 --> 02:43:20.000 and I don't have that. 3223 02:43:21.000 --> 02:43:21.360 Damn. 3224 02:43:22.079 --> 02:43:25.200 I think it goes for a lot of money. There's 3225 02:43:25.200 --> 02:43:27.200 also a lot of concerts on laser discs that never 3226 02:43:27.239 --> 02:43:32.399 got anywhere else. Oh yeah, there's lots of There's lots 3227 02:43:32.440 --> 02:43:34.520 of all kinds of weird in you know, Japan especially, 3228 02:43:34.520 --> 02:43:37.440 they release these background videos so they'll be like airplanes 3229 02:43:37.479 --> 02:43:41.559 flying or flowers, where there's also a substrata of these 3230 02:43:41.600 --> 02:43:45.319 sort of like Japanese background these sort of maybe X 3231 02:43:45.360 --> 02:43:50.000 rated things where they have incredibly young girls topless on 3232 02:43:50.040 --> 02:43:54.799 a beach, like uncomfortably. I don't own any I owned one, 3233 02:43:54.879 --> 02:43:57.920 and I was like, I'm a jujit. They're like fourteen 3234 02:43:58.000 --> 02:44:01.440 years old, twelve. I'm not team fifteen years old running 3235 02:44:01.440 --> 02:44:03.479 on top of us. They have to sell for a 3236 02:44:03.520 --> 02:44:06.840 crazy amount of money. I don't get that one. 3237 02:44:07.040 --> 02:44:11.760 So Ronnie is pointing out they can't have the entirety 3238 02:44:11.760 --> 02:44:14.079 of VR if it was last release in two thousand 3239 02:44:14.120 --> 02:44:17.200 and one, because went till two thousand and nine. Okay, 3240 02:44:17.280 --> 02:44:18.639 we all went on for forever. 3241 02:44:19.159 --> 02:44:21.840 They have it up to whatever they have the first 3242 02:44:21.840 --> 02:44:23.879 sex six seasons I think, or seven seasons. 3243 02:44:23.879 --> 02:44:30.040 Gees's that's so much even for R. That's crazy. Although 3244 02:44:30.280 --> 02:44:33.760 that was the best era of R, not that it 3245 02:44:33.799 --> 02:44:36.719 wasn't at least good after that, but man, those first 3246 02:44:36.719 --> 02:44:37.959 six or seven years were great. 3247 02:44:38.280 --> 02:44:41.200 Yeah, there's a lot of weird stuff that gets released 3248 02:44:41.239 --> 02:44:43.559 on these on that format, because, like you remember, there's 3249 02:44:43.600 --> 02:44:47.319 like seventy thousand releases, and like even if you take 3250 02:44:47.360 --> 02:44:50.879 out the karaoke which is a solid ten thousand maybymore, 3251 02:44:51.159 --> 02:44:55.959 there's still at like sixty thousand releases, and even if 3252 02:44:56.000 --> 02:44:59.040 movies get repeated, like there's like fifty terminat or twos, 3253 02:44:59.079 --> 02:45:04.959 but like you know, you're still talking like thirty plus 3254 02:45:05.000 --> 02:45:09.040 thousand probably maybe a little less, maybe twenty eight thousand 3255 02:45:09.799 --> 02:45:13.799 unique titles a all the movies. No, but there's twenty 3256 02:45:14.120 --> 02:45:18.200 plus thousand movies. I would say, jeez, that is so much. 3257 02:45:18.520 --> 02:45:22.239 That's incredible, and so many of them literally like we'll 3258 02:45:22.280 --> 02:45:25.600 probably never make it past that as their best release. 3259 02:45:25.879 --> 02:45:28.239 Yeah, I think there's a lot of them that like 3260 02:45:28.799 --> 02:45:32.200 we'll stay there. And that's not always bad, but it's 3261 02:45:32.239 --> 02:45:36.200 like it's a little weird, Like it's weird that it 3262 02:45:36.280 --> 02:45:39.559 was popular enough for somebody to spend the money to 3263 02:45:39.639 --> 02:45:43.639 make these laser discs and forgotten enough twenty five years 3264 02:45:43.719 --> 02:45:46.360 later and nobody will ever release it again. 3265 02:45:46.719 --> 02:45:52.799 Right, I get it. Jeez. All right, well, I think 3266 02:45:52.959 --> 02:45:55.680 that is probably the end of the line for tonight. 3267 02:45:56.239 --> 02:45:59.559 This has been awesome. Laser discs has been a fun conversation. 3268 02:45:59.719 --> 02:46:01.879 Lots people learning tonight, I think because this is not 3269 02:46:01.959 --> 02:46:04.959 something that gets discussed all that often. I love that 3270 02:46:05.000 --> 02:46:07.600 we've been able to get some of yours cataloged on 3271 02:46:07.680 --> 02:46:10.399 some discs that I've worked on. Hope that we get 3272 02:46:10.399 --> 02:46:12.680 some more. In fact, there are a couple more that 3273 02:46:12.680 --> 02:46:15.040 we haven't even technically announced yet that we've already got 3274 02:46:16.000 --> 02:46:18.959 scanned and ready to go, So we'll see that eventually. 3275 02:46:20.120 --> 02:46:22.479 All right, any any last like fun facts, anything you 3276 02:46:22.479 --> 02:46:23.280 want to throw out. 3277 02:46:23.440 --> 02:46:26.239 No, just thank you for having me. I hope it 3278 02:46:26.319 --> 02:46:32.159 was somewhat cojin at least, and somewhat interesting because I 3279 02:46:32.200 --> 02:46:35.120 know it can get deep into esoteric or minutia and 3280 02:46:35.760 --> 02:46:38.760 it's not exactly what even I feel like even within 3281 02:46:38.799 --> 02:46:41.120 our community is like the so in vogue. 3282 02:46:41.799 --> 02:46:44.000 Well that and it's just it's not covered. I mean, 3283 02:46:44.079 --> 02:46:47.799 it's so like so many when you don't have the hardware, 3284 02:46:47.840 --> 02:46:49.719 it's really hard to get new people into the fold. 3285 02:46:49.760 --> 02:46:50.559 I think that's a big thing. 3286 02:46:50.680 --> 02:46:52.600 Yeah, And also I was like, I've been obsessed with 3287 02:46:52.600 --> 02:46:56.040 this for like a long time, and so like I've 3288 02:46:56.040 --> 02:46:58.879 been thinking about it in one way or another for way, way, way, way, 3289 02:46:58.920 --> 02:46:59.600 way too long. 3290 02:46:59.680 --> 02:47:02.600 So well, everybody in the chat seems to love it. 3291 02:47:02.639 --> 02:47:05.120 And remember when you see him next week in the chat, 3292 02:47:05.159 --> 02:47:09.840 he is the Wonderment project.
