Speaker 1: You are now listening to the Someone's Favorite Productions podcast network.
Speaker 2: What's going on, everybody, and welcome to another live episode
Speaker 2: of Reconnected. It's Thursday, and I am super stoked to
Speaker 2: be here with somebody that I've been following for a
Speaker 2: couple of years at least now, and I know that
Speaker 2: feeling's mutual. This is the screenwriter, mister Andreas Peterson.
Speaker 3: How are we doing, sir, good? How are you doing
Speaker 3: good to be here?
Speaker 4: I am, I'm well, it's nice to see you.
Speaker 2: For those that have not seen the thumbnail, first I
Speaker 2: read the description. Andreas is the screenwriter for a couple
Speaker 2: of films that have come out through OCN distribution over
Speaker 2: the last couple of years. We've got Attack of the Demons,
Speaker 2: which was released by Dark Star Pictures, and then the
Speaker 2: quite recent cartooner release that was just an April type
Speaker 2: Really am The second one is when you get to
Speaker 2: the forest, so stoked.
Speaker 4: I'm so glad you're here. This is amazing.
Speaker 3: Yeah. No, it's as I've mentioned to you like many times,
Speaker 3: Like even just seeing Disconnected like announced those disc releases
Speaker 3: was sort of like a pinch me moment for me
Speaker 3: because I've been following for so long, so it was
Speaker 3: very cool.
Speaker 4: I don't get to feel like a celebrity often, so
Speaker 4: thank you. That's incredible.
Speaker 2: I guess the big thing we got to go into
Speaker 2: these movies first, tell everybody about Attack of the Demons,
Speaker 2: because these are these are two quite unique films when
Speaker 2: you hear titles like that.
Speaker 3: Yeah. So the two movies that I got that I
Speaker 3: have written that have been made. The first one was
Speaker 3: Attack of the Demons, and both of these movies were
Speaker 3: directed and animated by the Austin based animator Eric Power,
Speaker 3: who works in construction paper animation like stop motion. And
Speaker 3: so our first movie that we made together was Attack
Speaker 3: of the Demons, which was our kind of send up
Speaker 3: of you know, Bava's Demons or you know, like sort
Speaker 3: of like super goofy eighties horror like pseudo comedies. And
Speaker 3: so we got that. We that came out in twenty twenty,
Speaker 3: and it was just sort of like this, you know,
Speaker 3: very long process of getting it made. So Eric is
Speaker 3: the lone animator on the movies, and so we spent
Speaker 3: like three years kind of trying to muster a budget
Speaker 3: together and eventually like just got crossed over that finish
Speaker 3: line of getting into production, and then he spent the
Speaker 3: next two years animating it and then yeah, we did
Speaker 3: finally came out in twenty twenty, and you know, we
Speaker 3: were It was very that it was a very crazy
Speaker 3: experience for that to be like my first movie that
Speaker 3: ever got made, just sort of like because I had
Speaker 3: always you know, I think every screen writer has these
Speaker 3: ideas of what their career will be, and I, you know,
Speaker 3: I always envisioned that, you know, it would be such
Speaker 3: a fast process, and I never I never knew that
Speaker 3: I was gonna kind of start off my career writing
Speaker 3: animated films, and and it was just this incredibly slow,
Speaker 3: laborist process where Eric was sending me like clips that
Speaker 3: he was he'd be like, okay, I spent you know,
Speaker 3: two weeks on this, here's three minutes of footage, right,
Speaker 3: and but yeah, it was it was It was a
Speaker 3: lot of fun. It was are That's a definitely uh
Speaker 3: a movie. I'm very happy with. I albeit definitely watch
Speaker 3: it now and be like, oh, yeah, that's definitely my
Speaker 3: first movie.
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, one thing that's really cool to be
Speaker 2: able to go through your social media and see some
Speaker 2: of these things is like your first reaction to seeing
Speaker 2: a poster outside a theater of a movie that you made,
Speaker 2: or just being able to see that it's getting a
Speaker 2: physical media release. So tell me about a couple of
Speaker 2: those first experiences, Like how does it feel to make
Speaker 2: your first film?
Speaker 3: I mean, it's it's it's crazy. I mean I remember
Speaker 3: when we when Attacked the Demons premiered, That premiered at
Speaker 3: cin Apocalypse in Chicago in twenty nineteen, and that was
Speaker 3: the first time I had ever had a movie in
Speaker 3: any sort of film festival or anything like that. And
Speaker 3: I remember going to the Music Box Theater, which is
Speaker 3: where the festival was, and just like seeing the name
Speaker 3: on the marquee and it was just it was insane,
Speaker 3: Like I still have not gotten over that, Like I
Speaker 3: even just like I remember when Attack of the Demons
Speaker 3: got announced by Dark Star and it was going to
Speaker 3: be released through Vinegar Syndrome or through Vinegar Vinegar Syndrome
Speaker 3: cyd O CN like I again, like I had been
Speaker 3: a fan of Vinegar Syndrome for so long. I like
Speaker 3: I it was it was funny. I donated to their
Speaker 3: kickstarter that like was before Vinegar Syndrome was Vinegar Syndro
Speaker 3: when they were doing those restorations of those lost Herschel
Speaker 3: Gordon Lewis movies, and like I still have like that
Speaker 3: email I brought I when when we were announced on
Speaker 3: Vinegar Syndrome, Like I found that email and was like
Speaker 3: when I contributed to the Kickstar and stuff. So it's
Speaker 3: just like very I don't know, very serendipitous and cool,
Speaker 3: and I still don't get over it. Like I still
Speaker 3: like I remember going to the draft house Alamo draft
Speaker 3: House in Austin where when you get to the Forest
Speaker 3: played some it played a couple of showings as part
Speaker 3: of their like World of Animation series, and even then
Speaker 3: that was the first time I'd ever been to an
Speaker 3: Alamo draft House and like seeing the poster like in
Speaker 3: the hallway with like all these other you know, I
Speaker 3: don't know, amazing just current releases and stuff, and like
Speaker 3: I don't know, it's just I'm I'm still very much
Speaker 3: in that phase where like I get so caught up
Speaker 3: in like the emotions of seeing that stuff that it
Speaker 3: hasn't gotten old to me like at all yet. I'm
Speaker 3: still it hasn't worn out. It's welcome.
Speaker 4: That's great.
Speaker 2: Was Attack of the Demons the first film that you
Speaker 2: did anything on or because I know that wasn't Eric's
Speaker 2: first film, was it.
Speaker 3: No, it wasn't so Eric. Yeah, Eric's first movie was
Speaker 3: a samurai movie also cut paper animation called a Path
Speaker 3: of Blood and actually Sinnaps that is the one. Yeah,
Speaker 3: Sinnaps put that out and that's a great I mean,
Speaker 3: I love that movie, and uh that was so Attack
Speaker 3: of the Demons was my first like movie, my first
Speaker 3: feature that ever got made, and the first I don't know,
Speaker 3: real real not just sort of like dicking around short
Speaker 3: movie that I ever made.
Speaker 2: That's a big deal. And then to be able to
Speaker 2: have it make an impact. And these things are special.
Speaker 2: Like when you say construction paper, for those that haven't
Speaker 2: seen a clip of this or the trailer or.
Speaker 4: Anything, what does that mean?
Speaker 2: Because my god, like trying to explain that it's so
Speaker 2: much more beautiful than you can prepare yourself for on these.
Speaker 3: Yeah, right, Like so Eric Eric is a wizard. Like
Speaker 3: have I got to visit his studio when I went
Speaker 3: out for those draft House screenings because yeah, he's based
Speaker 3: in Austin and so like he, I cannot believe the
Speaker 3: stuff that he accomplishes with just cut out construction paper,
Speaker 3: and I know Eric will kill me for making this
Speaker 3: evoking this comparison. But I think the best like touchstone
Speaker 3: that there is for people is it is very similar
Speaker 3: to how early South Park was made. And so it
Speaker 3: is just he cuts out the shapes and construction paper
Speaker 3: and then moves them around. It's almost like puppetry and
Speaker 3: just takes picture after picture after picture after picture, and
Speaker 3: it is just a laboris process. And also Eric is
Speaker 3: very very old school. He does not want anything. Everything
Speaker 3: you see in the movies is real, like he it
Speaker 3: exists on his table, like he doesn't use computer generated
Speaker 3: graphics for anything, like all the sort of like particle
Speaker 3: effects and sand effects and shadow effect and everything is actual,
Speaker 3: like something that he has layered on top of on
Speaker 3: his studio table.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's incredible, and that that's the thing with this
Speaker 2: is it's it's clearly animation in the classic sense of
Speaker 2: the word, but it's this amazing like tactile feeling as
Speaker 2: you're watching this that it's it's like something that you
Speaker 2: can reach out in touch, which is such a different
Speaker 2: experience for those that are not, you know, immersed in
Speaker 2: animation quite often. So I love stuff like this and
Speaker 2: just like you know, pushing the medium to the edge
Speaker 2: that people aren't prepared for.
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, And I mean like he he he works
Speaker 3: a lot with like again, like he's he's very particular
Speaker 3: about wanting to create that sort of tactile feel and
Speaker 3: like the way because like a lot of the stuff
Speaker 3: he does is like water painted, and like he'll he'll
Speaker 3: add like you know, he'll kind of wet the paper
Speaker 3: a little bit to add texture to it, and it's
Speaker 3: just I don't know, it's it's nothing I ever would
Speaker 3: have imagined as like you know, again sort of going
Speaker 3: beyond something something like South Park where that you know,
Speaker 3: served the purpose of what that show was. But like,
Speaker 3: I don't know, I've just I always admired his ability
Speaker 3: to just sort of take that medium and just run
Speaker 3: with it. And even even since we made When You
Speaker 3: Get to the Forest, I've seen some of the test
Speaker 3: footage that he's doing for what we're hoping is going
Speaker 3: to be our next feature together, and it's unbelievable. Like
Speaker 3: the stuff he does, like the way he's like capturing
Speaker 3: dimension and lighting now is just like I cannot believe it,
Speaker 3: Like I can't believe the stuff's accomplishing.
Speaker 4: Well, what about you did you set out to write.
Speaker 2: An animated film or do you have a different thing
Speaker 2: in mind when you first got started.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I definitely didn't, and so my I guess
Speaker 3: it's not that I like ever had anything against it.
Speaker 3: It was just that, like growing up and like starting
Speaker 3: out as a wannabe screenwriter, just sort of wrote what
Speaker 3: I wanted to see as a movie and it was there.
Speaker 3: So there was a script I wrote in twenty I
Speaker 3: want to say twenty fourteen that I wrote for a
Speaker 3: screwed writing class that I was taking, and I it
Speaker 3: was a very not great script that was sort of
Speaker 3: like it was like Critters meets like Teddy Bears, Like
Speaker 3: it was about stuffed Teddy Bears sort of an overrunning
Speaker 3: a town. And like I wrote that just thinking like, yeah,
Speaker 3: this would be a fun, like live action movie. And
Speaker 3: then when it got kind of found by a producer,
Speaker 3: he that producer envisioned it as an animated movie and
Speaker 3: that's where he introduced me to Eric, and so ever
Speaker 3: since then I've been working like in close collaboration with Eric,
Speaker 3: and so that's you know why the projects I have
Speaker 3: gotten the most, you know, the furthest down the line
Speaker 3: and actually produced have all been animated. Nice.
Speaker 4: So what about your your general taste for films? What
Speaker 4: are you into? Do you what do you love to watch? Oh?
Speaker 3: Man, I am I love It's such a hackney to answer,
Speaker 3: but I love everything so much. I find that like
Speaker 3: I'm the most fulfilled when I am like having a
Speaker 3: very wide variety of movies. Like I hate getting into
Speaker 3: a mode where I'm watching like the same thing over
Speaker 3: and over again, whether it's you know, just kind of
Speaker 3: watching nothing but horror, nothing like nothing but you know,
Speaker 3: uh drama, nothing but sci fi, and like it's kind
Speaker 3: of funny, like I always, I mean, we all do it.
Speaker 3: Like when October rolls around, we're all just watching horror movies. Yeah,
Speaker 3: like of course, like why wouldn't we. It's like, but
Speaker 3: like at when I when I get to November, I'm
Speaker 3: just like, oh my god, I just want to watch
Speaker 3: something other than a horror movie. But like I but
Speaker 3: that being said, I mean like I feel like, if
Speaker 3: I had to really say where my inclination's light is
Speaker 3: with horror, I feel like maybe sixty to seventy percent
Speaker 3: of what I watch is horror movies. But again, I try,
Speaker 3: I try to see a wide variety of stuff because
Speaker 3: I just I don't know, I love I like movies
Speaker 3: of every every genre, every medium, every country. I don't know,
Speaker 3: there's just there's so much good stuff out there.
Speaker 2: Well, you're working with the construction paper. You mentioned that
Speaker 2: you love vinegar syndrome, so clearly you must love physical media.
Speaker 2: So what's the history there?
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, so this is it's funny. I get this.
Speaker 3: It's very nice being here to talk about this because
Speaker 3: I feel like this is the kind of thing I'm
Speaker 3: very passionate about in like casual conversation with people who
Speaker 3: could give less of a shit about like physical media.
Speaker 3: But so I was trying to think about it. And
Speaker 3: like for me, I always grew up around physical media,
Speaker 3: Like I so growing up, my dad was really really
Speaker 3: into movies. Like my dad had this incredible VHS collection
Speaker 3: and it was kept in this one closet in our
Speaker 3: downstairs and it was like one of those drawers you
Speaker 3: pull out that just had like you know, it was
Speaker 3: like twelve VHS is deep, yes, And it was just
Speaker 3: rack after rack after rack after rack in this closet.
Speaker 3: And then my dad kept this list that was like cataloging,
Speaker 3: Like okay, I want to watch this movie. It's in
Speaker 3: this drawer, and so I just always had access to that,
Speaker 3: and it was just like there was something about just
Speaker 3: having that available growing up that was so nice. Like
Speaker 3: every time we had sleepovers or anything like that, it
Speaker 3: was we could watch whatever we wanted, Like we just
Speaker 3: any movie that anyone could ever think of, Like we
Speaker 3: weren't you know, limited to to you know, like the
Speaker 3: four Disney movies that people typically had or something like that.
Speaker 3: And so I always, I always, I just grew up
Speaker 3: with that ability to just kind of always had access
Speaker 3: to that. And then so when I got my when
Speaker 3: I got like a PS two back in like two
Speaker 3: thousand and one, I that's when I started building my
Speaker 3: DVD collection, and there was something just so nice about
Speaker 3: like having this small little shelf of my movie collection
Speaker 3: and then being like, oh, this is like I'm this
Speaker 3: is this is like a representation of what I love.
Speaker 3: And it just never stopped from there, Like I just
Speaker 3: I always just kept up with with making sure that
Speaker 3: I was buying the movies that like I love, new
Speaker 3: ones coming out, and then like just as physical media,
Speaker 3: I mean those like those Wild West DVD days, like
Speaker 3: the shit I was buying at best Buy was insane,
Speaker 3: Like you could get like Ilsa she Woll of the
Speaker 3: SS at best Buy, Like it was.
Speaker 4: Three different cover options.
Speaker 3: It was so nuts and like h and it just
Speaker 3: like from that, like when that when that sort of
Speaker 3: like DVD boom happened, and it was just every horror
Speaker 3: movie was coming out on DVD and for pretty cheap,
Speaker 3: and it was just I was I was inhaling that stuff,
Speaker 3: and before I knew it, my collection was just absurdly
Speaker 3: big because this was like the one thing I spent
Speaker 3: money on and it was just I don't know. There
Speaker 3: was just no looking back from there. And then as
Speaker 3: streaming kind of overtook, I got very passionate about like, well, no,
Speaker 3: I like having access to the stuff I want, and
Speaker 3: like I've heard so many people complain about, like I
Speaker 3: want to watch this movie but it's not streaming on anything,
Speaker 3: and I never have that problem. So it's just very
Speaker 3: very very very passionate about that about having that access.
Speaker 3: And it goes back to when I was a kid.
Speaker 2: Well, on that note, where's Bock wants to know, does
Speaker 2: your dad Sill have his VHS collection?
Speaker 3: Unfortunately no, he My parents are both in like their
Speaker 3: mid mid to late seventies and so they're kind of downsizing.
Speaker 3: And unfortunately he did, he did give it away.
Speaker 4: So the catalog got too hard to read. I get it.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So some rapid fire questions forbody, How how big
Speaker 2: is that collection nowadays?
Speaker 4: If you've been collecting that long?
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh. So I've got I think roughly four
Speaker 3: thousand movies in mind right now. I know that's actually
Speaker 3: not I mean I feel like amongst the people amongst
Speaker 3: this company that might be sort of like rookie numbers.
Speaker 3: But I think I've got I think I have about
Speaker 3: four thousand discs right now.
Speaker 4: Not too bad.
Speaker 3: Yeah no, And I've I've and a lot of that
Speaker 3: has been like slowly replacing the DVDs I had with
Speaker 3: Blu rays. And now I'm in the phase of like
Speaker 3: tracking down the four k's of replacing those Blu rays.
Speaker 3: And so it's a never, never ending dance.
Speaker 2: Uh So on that note, the never ending dance, are
Speaker 2: you upgrading everything to four K or like favorite films
Speaker 2: or what it tends?
Speaker 3: So I think for me, if if there is a
Speaker 3: four K out and it's an up like, it's an upgrade.
Speaker 3: I mean, like we all know that, like they're every
Speaker 3: once in a while a four K comes out that's
Speaker 3: supposed to not be that great. I try I avoid those,
Speaker 3: but like if I bought a movie and I want
Speaker 3: it in my collection, I want to have the best
Speaker 3: available version of it, and so I will upgrade, you know,
Speaker 3: for I will do the four K of a movie
Speaker 3: that maybe isn't my favorite, but just I like having it.
Speaker 3: I like, you know, the time that I actually want
Speaker 3: to pull out and watch, you know, uh, Congo, Like,
Speaker 3: I'm glad that I have the four K of it,
Speaker 3: the beautiful vinegar syndrome restoration of Congo.
Speaker 2: Like, I love that you could say that sentence here,
Speaker 2: that's amazing. So who who would you say takes up
Speaker 2: the most space as a company in those four thousand discs?
Speaker 3: Oh geez, I mean it's probably vinegar syndrome, but I
Speaker 3: I let me think so it's it's vinegar syndrome. I'
Speaker 3: mean a good amount of them are scream factory because
Speaker 3: a lot of those, like there's a used record store
Speaker 3: where I live that every once in a while they
Speaker 3: just have, like you know, they have like just a
Speaker 3: swath of like five dollars screen factory releases but I
Speaker 3: would say more often than not, it is it's either
Speaker 3: you know, honestly, what it is is it's vinegar syndrome.
Speaker 3: And it's severing because those are the two that have
Speaker 3: biannual sales that I just spend way too much money
Speaker 3: on every six months.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you and I were lamenting about the sales earlier today.
Speaker 2: It's gonna be a lot to discuss tonight on that.
Speaker 3: Ugh, I'm not I am not looking forward to it
Speaker 3: wallet wise, but like I am so excited about the
Speaker 3: other end of that. But right now it is so daunting.
Speaker 4: It's a lot. There's a lot happening right now. It's
Speaker 4: kind of that time of the year.
Speaker 2: We're between the VS and the Severn sale and we're
Speaker 2: gonna I mean, Criterion is supposed to hit tonight. We
Speaker 2: got others to talk about. There's a lot before we
Speaker 2: get into our normal segments. What is what it's like
Speaker 2: a dream release, favorite boutique company, a favorite movie that
Speaker 2: doesn't have a great release, What would you want on it?
Speaker 4: What type of release? Hard box? What do we get?
Speaker 3: Geez So for the longest time, man, I and this
Speaker 3: is like no disrespect to the companies that put out
Speaker 3: the Blu rays for these because, like I the two
Speaker 3: that I always had were that I would love a
Speaker 3: four K release for our Fritz the Cat and the
Speaker 3: Story of Ricky. Those are two, for whatever reason, for
Speaker 3: a long time, I just wanted and I fully say
Speaker 3: that I think Keno's Blu ray Fritz the Cat, I
Speaker 3: am so thankful that that exists. And eighty eight Film's
Speaker 3: release of Story of Ricky is great. It is an
Speaker 3: insane upgrade over the original Blu ray that came out.
Speaker 3: It was awful, right, I was so disappointed when I
Speaker 3: got that, And uh, but those are two that like
Speaker 3: for me, Like I remember before before either of those
Speaker 3: movies had those releases on Blue, like but before Fritz
Speaker 3: the Cat had come out, before that eighty eight Ricky
Speaker 3: Story of Ricky came out, I definitely fantasized about about
Speaker 3: Vineigerson from restoring those and putting those out. I mean,
Speaker 3: I don't know logistically like rights wise, how I mean,
Speaker 3: I don't know. I feel like that's not too outside
Speaker 3: of the realm with more Yeah, but like that being said,
Speaker 3: like again, I love the keynot Blue of that. So
Speaker 3: don't wanna don't want to dance on that on you know,
Speaker 3: sound too disappointed there, Like I'm just happy that those exists,
Speaker 3: but I would I would die for a really nice
Speaker 3: four K of both those movies.
Speaker 2: Well, and honestly, they're both very much in the realm
Speaker 2: of possibility. I mean, Fritz the Cat is Bakshi, and
Speaker 2: Bakshi had been attached to Coonskin obviously and Vinegar Syndrome
Speaker 2: Once upon a Dream had announced Coonskin and then that
Speaker 2: fell through. It did I didn't know that, not yeah,
Speaker 2: not as like a monthly release, but on social media
Speaker 2: they were like, We've acquired Coonskin and be coming out
Speaker 2: in a few months, and then something happened. They never
Speaker 2: said anything else about it.
Speaker 3: I'm like immediately like excited and so disappointed.
Speaker 2: Well this was this was like nine years ago, So
Speaker 2: I'm sorry everybody that just went.
Speaker 3: What you've dashed my oat, my treas quite.
Speaker 2: And then obviously since the eighty eight films, Ricky Oh,
Speaker 2: like Vinegar Syndrome has dove into the Asian films a lot,
Speaker 2: So if anybody's gonna get it in the US, it would.
Speaker 4: Make sense that it would be them.
Speaker 3: I would love it. I think that would be awesome. Again,
Speaker 3: love the releases that I have. Now there are great releases,
Speaker 3: but I would just those two. I would love a
Speaker 3: four K four I I would not complain about either.
Speaker 3: What's crazy to me? I guess I should say.
Speaker 2: Tonight after the announcements, we're talking about five animated films
Speaker 2: that we love that are grown up movies, not not
Speaker 2: necessarily for kids. And I, I don't know what it was,
Speaker 2: but my feeling today I did not end up I'll
Speaker 2: just spoil it now with a Bacshie on my list
Speaker 2: and I was like, oh wow, how do I have
Speaker 2: no Bacsci? But it's it just sort of landed that way.
Speaker 2: My taste has been different lately, but I grew up
Speaker 2: loving Bakshi and oh yeah, yeah, it was great to
Speaker 2: have Fritz the catch just raindomly mad.
Speaker 3: I will bring up Backshee again, don't worry.
Speaker 4: Great, great, great great. Well on that note, uh, what
Speaker 4: are some recent pickups you got that you want to
Speaker 4: share with everybody?
Speaker 3: So most recently the two shoes like big ones that
Speaker 3: I got were I haven't had the chance to dive
Speaker 3: in yet, but I am so excited about the Terror
Speaker 3: Vision shoe string Slashers box set. I love that stuff
Speaker 3: so much. I love what. I was so stoked that
Speaker 3: they were putting out Sledgehammer. I just I love what
Speaker 3: they're doing with the shot on video stuff like the
Speaker 3: love and the love and care that they're putting into
Speaker 3: those like bottom barrel slasher movies that just I don't know,
Speaker 3: like they're so great, and so I've been really really
Speaker 3: excited to dive into that, Like I pre ordered that
Speaker 3: like the second it came out, it finally arrived, and
Speaker 3: then I got I finally got my halfway to Black
Speaker 3: Friday Vinegar Syndrome, and so I it's funny, this is
Speaker 3: like an insight into like my method for buying stuff,
Speaker 3: Like I very rarely will buy stuff right when it
Speaker 3: comes out, like very very like I like, unless it
Speaker 3: took a movie I loved and need to see it,
Speaker 3: like the second it's out on four K, I I'll
Speaker 3: do that, but more often not, I'll just kind of
Speaker 3: wait until the price drops and with the bi annual
Speaker 3: sales with vinegar syndrome and U uh, severin like my
Speaker 3: what I what I typically am buying throughout the year
Speaker 3: is I'm like panic buying stuff that's going out of print,
Speaker 3: like I so I with vinegar syndrome like that's what
Speaker 3: I do, Like when the first thing I do when
Speaker 3: they have a sale is I go straight to that
Speaker 3: going out of print tab and I'm just like, okay,
Speaker 3: what is because they usually mark them down for so cheap,
Speaker 3: and so this time it was just all you know,
Speaker 3: movies that either were going out of print or it
Speaker 3: was their VSA titles that they only do like a
Speaker 3: limited number of that were below a certain threshold that
Speaker 3: I had to get. So, like recently I picked up
Speaker 3: there the three VSA titles they call Me Macho Woman,
Speaker 3: Love on Delivery, which I was so stoked I got
Speaker 3: a copy of before it it sold out, and then
Speaker 3: an Eye for an Eye, Like I I'm very very
Speaker 3: excited to check that one out, but like I just
Speaker 3: am super I'm super excited to like dive into that
Speaker 3: that that set because I just like, I don't know.
Speaker 3: The VSA titles are the ones that I usually for
Speaker 3: some reason, like I just gel with the most.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well they're video store titles usually, so that that
Speaker 2: kind of that fits with your your background what you
Speaker 2: were talking about.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And then the other one that like, because I
Speaker 3: know Fun City Editions has kind of been uh like
Speaker 3: uh because I think they're they're leaving Ocen if I
Speaker 3: remember correctly, or like feazing out of Ocen, that they
Speaker 3: announced that they had some titles going out of print too,
Speaker 3: and I it was it was like because they announced
Speaker 3: it was like Alphabet City and Coca Cola Kid were
Speaker 3: going out of print, and I've been dying to pick
Speaker 3: up both of those and I just immediately went on
Speaker 3: because they were both like up to like thirty five
Speaker 3: bucks on Amazon, and I went on eBay. I was
Speaker 3: able to get them for like twenty and so. But
Speaker 3: I watched Alphabet City like right when I got it,
Speaker 3: and I loved that movie. So yeah, so yeah, that's
Speaker 3: that's that's it. I panic by these movies that are
Speaker 3: going out of print and make sure I don't lose
Speaker 3: out on them. And then you know, but that's those
Speaker 3: are my recent pickups. So now we know your habits.
Speaker 3: You put yourself through a heart attack. That sounds fun. Yeah.
Speaker 2: On the other hand, I one of the things I
Speaker 2: do is I try to save like points or if
Speaker 2: I get like a gift card as a gift or
Speaker 2: like a I think this one was like a return
Speaker 2: that I had to get an Amazon gift card for
Speaker 2: some reason, and I wasn't going to get this, but
Speaker 2: then it dropped low enough where I could literally just
Speaker 2: spend a gift card on it. So I just got
Speaker 2: in the four K of Kingdom of Heaven and it's,
Speaker 2: as you can see, quite an embossed steel book.
Speaker 4: Yeah, oh it is nice.
Speaker 2: I don't really love steel books as much as I
Speaker 2: used to, but it's a nice one and it'll look great.
Speaker 2: And then talking about animated films, this just might be
Speaker 2: the most epic I guess is like the small word
Speaker 2: to say this, because this is a masterpiece that is
Speaker 2: like the largest scale animation I've ever seen. Tragedy of
Speaker 2: Man from Deaf Crocodile. This is something that's been coming
Speaker 2: together for literally does it say, It's been like twenty
Speaker 2: three years in the making, and this thing is two
Speaker 2: and a half hours long, and it mixes a whole
Speaker 2: bunch of different animation styles and def Crocodile crushed it
Speaker 2: with this release. It is absolutely incredible. One that was
Speaker 2: very interesting to me when they announced it and you
Speaker 2: talked about the music Box theater earlier. Their physical media
Speaker 2: company music Bok Films just released ethis this Baseball Movie,
Speaker 2: and it's this thing just sounds so I don't know, homie,
Speaker 2: I guess is.
Speaker 4: A fun way to say it.
Speaker 2: Just a bunch of dudes playing on a baseball field
Speaker 2: that's about to get leveled. And then the big thing
Speaker 2: that I'm excited about. This is very late, but for
Speaker 2: everybody that's a subscriber on the Patreon to this, I
Speaker 2: finally got in the nineteenth issue of the Physical Media Advocate,
Speaker 2: the issue the magazine I print, so you'll be getting
Speaker 2: shipping on those probably tomorrow. Stoked on that finally. But yeah,
Speaker 2: it's been a good couple weeks. Good couple weeks for releases.
Speaker 4: I know.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think like the one that like the most
Speaker 3: recently that I was just like I had to, like,
Speaker 3: I want that Vanger Syndrome Dirty Work release so bad
Speaker 3: like that It's funny like Dirty Work was a movie
Speaker 3: that I loved growing up, like just as like an
Speaker 3: immature like fourteen year old boy, but like that video
Speaker 3: they released about the work that went into restoring the
Speaker 3: director's cut of it just was so emblematic of everything
Speaker 3: I love about Vinegar syndrome film restoration. Like just the
Speaker 3: fact that it was and then the fact that it
Speaker 3: was for Dirty Work was I don't know. That was
Speaker 3: like one of those movies where I was just like,
Speaker 3: I know, I usually don't buy stuff like right when
Speaker 3: it comes out with a yeah, yeah, I really want
Speaker 3: that one.
Speaker 4: It's worth it.
Speaker 2: And the fact that they were selling so many that
Speaker 2: they were like, well, hold on, we need to increase
Speaker 2: the print run.
Speaker 4: Like it's doing pretty well at that point. That's great.
Speaker 2: Over the last couple of weeks, what have you been
Speaker 2: watching that you want to talk about and any great movies?
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I think for me, like I just watched
Speaker 3: so I guess in terms of maybe like the most
Speaker 3: recent movies that I've watched that like I really loved
Speaker 3: like that that's that have come out like I loved
Speaker 3: I mean, I loved to Bring Her Back, which was
Speaker 3: actually kind of interesting because like I I liked talk
Speaker 3: to Me, Yeah, I but I didn't. I didn't wasn't
Speaker 3: bought in as every as much as everyone else was.
Speaker 3: But Bring Her Back just like knocked my socks off.
Speaker 4: Yeah that.
Speaker 3: I just thought that was such a spectacular movie. And
Speaker 3: then also just again very kind of I mean, who
Speaker 3: everyone and their mother loves it? Like I thought Sinners
Speaker 3: was fantastic. That's one that I cannot wait to get
Speaker 3: the four k for because I saw it in like
Speaker 3: the most rinky, dank little theater with like the worst
Speaker 3: lighting ever and it but was still amazing. And then
Speaker 3: also I feel like, uh, I feel like Shutter has
Speaker 3: been kind of killing it this year, Like I I
Speaker 3: I like, I feel like Shutter does like enough like
Speaker 3: a mishmash of stuff that it's sort of like, you know,
Speaker 3: it's kind of a where I feel like, oh, I
Speaker 3: kind of like that that one wasn't for me. I
Speaker 3: just feel like this year, like I loved Ugly Stepsister.
Speaker 3: I thought Ugly Stepsister was fantastic. I'm so stoked I
Speaker 3: saw that Diabolic was gonna get like four k's of
Speaker 3: that from Germany. I think like, I'm I'm super excited
Speaker 3: about that. And then also two movies that I wanted
Speaker 3: to throw a shout out to that I just feel
Speaker 3: that that came out this year that I feel like
Speaker 3: are criminally underseen that I want to urge everyone to see. First,
Speaker 3: one is Bystanders, which was these are both from Dread Pictures.
Speaker 3: So Bystanders is this fantastic rape revenge movie that came
Speaker 3: out earlier this year that it's Struck by Mary Beth
Speaker 3: mc andrews and written by Jamie Alvi, and it's just
Speaker 3: sort of like, you know, a rape revenge movie against
Speaker 3: like the most obnoxious frat boys you've ever seen, and
Speaker 3: it just like balance is this thing between not shying
Speaker 3: away from how horrific the contents is, but it's still
Speaker 3: like weirdly fun. And I think I think that one's
Speaker 3: on two B, so like I highly recommend everyone checking
Speaker 3: that one out. And then the other one that I
Speaker 3: really loved from Tried Pictures was For Sale by Exorcists, which, yeah,
Speaker 3: I loved that movie, directed by Melissa la Martina and
Speaker 3: written by Chris la Martina of w n UF, and
Speaker 3: I it's just like the most charming, like comedy horror
Speaker 3: movie I've seen in a minute that for so for
Speaker 3: anyone who doesn't know just about a woman who uh
Speaker 3: like buys houses that are haunted and exercises the ghosts
Speaker 3: and flips them and it's like a mockumentary. I don't know,
Speaker 3: it's just it's it's so like stupidly charming. And I
Speaker 3: always like going through I because I keep like a
Speaker 3: running list of like my favorite movies that I've seen,
Speaker 3: like through the Year on Letterbox, and though both of
Speaker 3: those like don't even have like a thousand logs on letterbox,
Speaker 3: I think I don't even know if for Sale by
Speaker 3: Exorcist is at like two hundred, and it's just like,
Speaker 3: I just feel like those are both criminally underseen. So
Speaker 3: I just wanted to give a shout out to those.
Speaker 2: Chris Malissa are also just like the nicest people. They're
Speaker 2: always incredible. Really really glad that you brought up Buggly Stepsister.
Speaker 2: That was a super surprise for me. I thought it
Speaker 2: was gonna be maybe decent based on the trailer, but man,
Speaker 2: that movie blew me away. I think, uh, pulling up
Speaker 2: my list right now, I think that's at my number
Speaker 2: three of the year so far.
Speaker 3: I think it is for me too. Actually I loved.
Speaker 4: It good year, but number three for a movie like
Speaker 4: that is pretty great.
Speaker 3: Yeah, No, I thought that was so I don't know
Speaker 3: like that was. That was just like the exact kind
Speaker 3: of movie I wanted it to be, Like, Yeah, No,
Speaker 3: I love that one.
Speaker 2: I spent about an hour last night on another stream
Speaker 2: talking about Clock so I watched that for the first
Speaker 2: time this week. I won't say too much here, but
Speaker 2: I'll just say Spike Lee's incredible. A couple of new
Speaker 2: ones in the theater that I watched this week that
Speaker 2: everybody should probably check out if I recommend it, maybe
Speaker 2: the first one everybody's sawing about twenty eight years later
Speaker 2: saw it it. Yes, it is quite messy in the writing.
Speaker 2: It is a little tonally jarring in about oh I
Speaker 2: don't know, eighty four different places, but for some reason
Speaker 2: that comes across as charming instead of annoying. And yes,
Speaker 2: the last like ninety seconds of this movie are gonna
Speaker 2: pull a lot of people out and make them rate it.
Speaker 4: Like a full star lesson letterbox.
Speaker 2: But it's still very fun and very worth it, and
Speaker 2: the entire franchise is still quite good. My kids wanted
Speaker 2: to drag me to the How to Train Your Dragon
Speaker 2: live action remake. I'll say it's it's great because How
Speaker 2: To Train Your Dragon is an incredible animated movie. It
Speaker 2: only lost points because it's not the animated version, which
Speaker 2: is just better. It is a quite quite good animated
Speaker 2: or live action remake, but.
Speaker 4: None of us needed that. It's the exact same. Like
Speaker 4: there were shots in that movie where I went, I
Speaker 4: think his hair is even doing the same thing that
Speaker 4: it did in the animated movie, which is insane that
Speaker 4: we're on that level. I don't know how to feel
Speaker 4: about that.
Speaker 2: And I don't even think I've seen any of the
Speaker 2: Disney live action remakes, so I'm not really that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's just not my thing, but.
Speaker 3: Sure, I mean it's I would say it's not my
Speaker 3: thing either, but somehow I've still seen like I don't know,
Speaker 3: like six of them.
Speaker 2: And then the last thing, probably the biggest flop that
Speaker 2: has ever flopped, Pixar's l e O dropped this week.
Speaker 4: Speaking of animated movies, Yeah, did you watch Elio?
Speaker 3: I have not seen it, but I know I was aware.
Speaker 3: It's like I didn't know that it was coming out,
Speaker 3: and then I saw someone I saw Richard Whittaker from
Speaker 3: the Austin Chronicle tweet out or a Blue Sky post
Speaker 3: like it's it's a little concerning that, like there's a
Speaker 3: new Pixar movie coming out in two weeks and nobody
Speaker 3: seems to know. Yep.
Speaker 2: Supposedly, the trailer was played for about seventeen people across
Speaker 2: the US over the last couple of weeks. It is
Speaker 2: already poised to be the least grossing Pixar debut in
Speaker 2: like twenty one years or something like that, or actually
Speaker 2: I think it since the original Toy story, like the
Speaker 2: first Toy story is the only one that was less
Speaker 2: than this one.
Speaker 4: Which is crazy. That being said, Elliot is freaking great.
Speaker 4: It is.
Speaker 2: I guess the only thing that I'm really going to
Speaker 2: kind of hold it against it is Pixar used to
Speaker 2: be on the forefront of animation. Every new film that
Speaker 2: came out, it was like, Wow, We've never seen anybody
Speaker 2: do anything like this. The last I don't know, three
Speaker 2: or four Pixar movies, they're like the exact same animation style.
Speaker 2: Nothing is different everything. It's got the same texture, it's
Speaker 2: got the same level of depth. But they sort of
Speaker 2: killed it with the story story. It is a really
Speaker 2: beautiful science fiction story that hammers home the idea of
Speaker 2: loneliness and really really leaves you with this beautiful philosophical
Speaker 2: moment that I don't really want to spoil. But one
Speaker 2: of my personal heroes is literally his voice played at
Speaker 2: the end of the film, which I never would have
Speaker 2: expected that vick Arbo had done this, and it really
Speaker 2: like leaves you the if you recognize the voice and
Speaker 2: know what is happening. You leave the theater like beaming
Speaker 2: with just Wow.
Speaker 4: They did something and took a risk and it paid
Speaker 4: off in spades.
Speaker 3: That's awesome. Yeah. I saw your I saw your your
Speaker 3: your little your tidbit about it on a letterbox, and
Speaker 3: I actually was like, oh shit, I need to check it,
Speaker 3: check it out.
Speaker 2: I realized after the fact I probably should have marked
Speaker 2: that as spoilers, but it doesn't spoil the film story.
Speaker 2: But yeah, the feeling was pretty magical at that all right,
Speaker 2: other than announcements anything else that you're working on that
Speaker 2: you can share anything that you want to point people too.
Speaker 3: I mean, I'll I guess, so, I guess I could
Speaker 3: just say that, like of the two movies, my two movies,
Speaker 3: Attack of the Demons is on screen box if anyone
Speaker 3: wants to check that out, and also obviously released through
Speaker 3: Ocen and Dark Star on Vinegar Syndrome's website. And then
Speaker 3: also When You Get to the Forest UH is also
Speaker 3: out on Vinegar Syndrome site through Cartoona but that one,
Speaker 3: unfortunately is not streaming anywhere quite yet. We're still figuring
Speaker 3: that out. Not the easiest sell, but you know, but
Speaker 3: for now, if if it's something that someone wants to see,
Speaker 3: they can pick it up on on Vinegar Syndrome's website.
Speaker 3: But other than that, you know, I'm I'm constantly working
Speaker 3: on stuff. You know, Eric and I are in a
Speaker 3: constant state of trying to like get something into production,
Speaker 3: and so right now we're kind of pushing hard on
Speaker 3: this this fantasy drama that we that that Eric came
Speaker 3: up with the story for, and we've been developing the
Speaker 3: story over the over the summer or sorry, over the spring,
Speaker 3: and he's got some test start for it on his
Speaker 3: social pages on the Blue Sky on Instagram, so people
Speaker 3: can check that out just get kind of a taste
Speaker 3: of what he's, you know, he's cooking up. But other
Speaker 3: than that, you know, I've got a couple things sort
Speaker 3: of maybe happening in the live action sphere, but it's
Speaker 3: you know, with the industry being what it is right
Speaker 3: now and just a sort of very strange time for
Speaker 3: film production, it's not as clear cut, so you know,
Speaker 3: very well, nothing may come of it. But I will
Speaker 3: say that I'm always writing, I'm always trying to get
Speaker 3: something out out there made, and I'm sure eventually some
Speaker 3: another movie will come out.
Speaker 2: Speaking of that, before I click on the announcements, just
Speaker 2: to show that I'm kind of always watching and paying
Speaker 2: attention your Blue Sky. Earlier this year, you posted that
Speaker 2: you were going to be trying to force yourself to
Speaker 2: write every single day, and you have been an inspiration.
Speaker 2: Like the amount of parency with it that is, I
Speaker 2: don't know. There's some days where it's just hard, and
Speaker 2: it seems like you still are able to force yourself
Speaker 2: to do it as much as you can. For anybody
Speaker 2: that's trying to do something creative.
Speaker 4: How do you get to that point?
Speaker 3: I mean, I know that the process is different for everyone.
Speaker 3: Like I know people who very much are you know,
Speaker 3: they look at the creative process, whether it's music or
Speaker 3: movies or writing or painting or drawing to be you know,
Speaker 3: it's just something that they do when they're inspired, and
Speaker 3: which I think is great. But for me, it's writing.
Speaker 3: I just felt like I needed it to be more
Speaker 3: of a muscle. I needed to work out where I
Speaker 3: have always felt like the more I write, the better
Speaker 3: I get. And if I force myself to write, I
Speaker 3: will get that bullshit out of my fingers and just
Speaker 3: like I'll get the crap on the page and then
Speaker 3: figure it out later, but I will be better for
Speaker 3: it on the other side. And so, you know, twenty
Speaker 3: fourteen I had or sorry, twenty twenty four had a
Speaker 3: lot going on in my life where it prevented me
Speaker 3: from writing and it really bummed me out. Like I
Speaker 3: got to the end of the year and I was like,
Speaker 3: I only wrote like two screenplays this year, Like that sucks,
Speaker 3: Like I want to do something I wish and so
Speaker 3: this year. So for twenty twenty five, I was just like,
Speaker 3: you know, what, fuck it, I'm going to try to
Speaker 3: write five pages a day. Just that's that's what I'm
Speaker 3: going to try to do. And I've capped up with
Speaker 3: it and it's been like it's gotten to the point
Speaker 3: where I'm so deep into it at this point that
Speaker 3: if I don't do it, I'm going to feel so
Speaker 3: ashamed that, you know, if I miss writing for one day.
Speaker 3: And so, you know, typically I try to get the
Speaker 3: pages done, you know, at a reasonable hour, but there
Speaker 3: have been times where like I, you know, it's like
Speaker 3: twelve thirty at night, I have to be up for
Speaker 3: work and you know, four at four or five hours,
Speaker 3: and I'm like I got to get those pages in though,
Speaker 3: like that's you know, and I just get it out there.
Speaker 3: And so at this point, you know, I've written, you know,
Speaker 3: I'm coming up on a thousand pages for the year
Speaker 3: and so I and I've written I think like twelve
Speaker 3: scripts here, like I don't know if there are any, damn,
Speaker 3: but it is. I mean, it's also kind of nice
Speaker 3: because like I have this huge backlog of ideas that
Speaker 3: like I always kind of like I have this master
Speaker 3: movie list idea and it's it's very you know, it
Speaker 3: varies from like more detailed stuff to stuff that's just
Speaker 3: like a one off idea. Like I remember, I remember
Speaker 3: once going down that list and there was like a
Speaker 3: there was just a note that just said like haunted Taxi,
Speaker 3: and I was like, I don't know what the fuck
Speaker 3: that was supposed to be. But but the thing is,
Speaker 3: like I've been able to like just choose like a
Speaker 3: chunk of those and I'm just like, right, these are
Speaker 3: the ones I'm writing. And I've like I've gotten through
Speaker 3: all these scripts that I've like envisioned in my head
Speaker 3: for years and now they're just kind of in the
Speaker 3: rearview mirror at least the first draft is. And so
Speaker 3: you know, for me, if it's if it's again, everyone's writing,
Speaker 3: you know, everyone's you know what they do to like
Speaker 3: get writing and stuff is going to be different. But
Speaker 3: for me, I just have always found that just doing
Speaker 3: it helps, like it. Just doing the writing, writing the
Speaker 3: dog shit and then figuring it out later and molding
Speaker 3: it into something better after is better than just waiting
Speaker 3: for that perfect moment of of you know, writing the
Speaker 3: perfect page like I will. I will write five pages
Speaker 3: of dog shit and then figure it out later.
Speaker 4: Well, speaking of dog shits.
Speaker 2: On that note, you're free to take this, but everybody
Speaker 2: always groans on my pun, so I have to say clearly,
Speaker 2: you've already written the title as boob ber right.
Speaker 3: I did not, But that's good.
Speaker 4: I'll take your credit. That's enough for me.
Speaker 3: You got to you got a co writing credit, all right.
Speaker 2: I guess that won't really work great in writing because
Speaker 2: it'll just look dirty and just right.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a different that's the sex comedy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, to check that on mail you see in three years.
Speaker 2: All right, I'm so glad that your h your writing
Speaker 2: has been never ending this year. Let's talk about the
Speaker 2: never ending story. This is the first release of the
Speaker 2: week that we'll be talking about Imprint had kind of
Speaker 2: infamously said that when they first announced the never Ending
Speaker 2: Story four K Giant fourteen pound Storybook Edition that they
Speaker 2: weren't going to make a standard, and technically they haven't.
Speaker 4: They are now releasing a four K steel.
Speaker 2: Book edition that is coming out on August twenty seventh,
Speaker 2: and this is going to have three different discs.
Speaker 4: You've got a four K disc that has.
Speaker 2: The theatrical cut on four K, and then it's got
Speaker 2: two Blu Ray discs that's got the theatrical cut on
Speaker 2: Blu Ray and then the German extended cut on Blu Ray.
Speaker 2: But you don't get that one on four K. Everybody's
Speaker 2: major complaint is that this thing shipped is like one
Speaker 2: hundred and four dollars US or something, and that's for
Speaker 2: like a pair down version on a release.
Speaker 4: Holy shit, that's expensive.
Speaker 3: I know this is I'd struggle with stuff like this
Speaker 3: because I want this so bad.
Speaker 2: Yeah, this movie is beautiful. On four K. I will
Speaker 2: say that it is quite good. I'll also say the
Speaker 2: Giant book releases very nice too.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: No, I remember seeing that and just being like Jesus Christ.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's expensive, but if you love the movie.
Speaker 2: I totally get it. Imprint kind of always expensive, sadly,
Speaker 2: so we're.
Speaker 4: Used to it.
Speaker 2: Second Site over in the UK had a couple announcements
Speaker 2: on Friday. We've got August twenty fifth, we were getting
Speaker 2: a four K of ty West's The Innkeepers.
Speaker 4: This is coming hot on the heels of some other
Speaker 4: thay West stuff getting attention lately, and this is going
Speaker 4: to be a four K with Dolby Vision.
Speaker 2: We've got a brand new restoration approved by ty West.
Speaker 2: We've got tons of extress here. We've got multiple audio commentaries,
Speaker 2: we've got brand new interviews with ty West, with Pat Healey,
Speaker 2: Larry Festeneden, the DP Elliott Rocket. And then, of course,
Speaker 2: because it's Second Site, it's going to have a giant
Speaker 2: book with a bunch of news says in a hard
Speaker 2: box and all that stuff.
Speaker 4: How do you feel about Second Site, sir?
Speaker 3: I love Second Site so much, so much so that
Speaker 3: I am so annoyed at how often they put out
Speaker 3: stuff I want. Like I Second Site is like I
Speaker 3: have like a basket and I have like fourteen movies
Speaker 3: in it on Second Site, and I always feel like,
Speaker 3: all right, this is the month where I finally just
Speaker 3: buy that and then they do this thing where they
Speaker 3: release another movie and it's just like, Okay, well I'm
Speaker 3: adding that, and then I gotta wait to buy that,
Speaker 3: and then they add another movie and it's just one
Speaker 3: of these days I just need to buy the bullet
Speaker 3: And but like the stuff I have gotten from them,
Speaker 3: I mean, their release of the Witch is just immaculate.
Speaker 3: Their guest release is incredible. Like I love Second Site.
Speaker 2: Yeah they're great, And uh, if you love Second Site,
Speaker 2: but you want to spend a little less money, but
Speaker 2: you really want the Innkeepers. Hang out because we're gonna
Speaker 2: be talking about another release of The Innkeepers here in
Speaker 2: just a little bit, which is fairly comparable to this.
Speaker 2: We'll chat more about ty weston a bit, but the
Speaker 2: next one. They are putting out the Pusher Trilogy on
Speaker 2: four K and blu ray on August twenty fifth as well.
Speaker 2: This is a trilogy of films from the one and
Speaker 2: only Nicholas Winding Refin. The cool thing here is this
Speaker 2: will have Dolby atmos, it's got new audio commentaries, it's
Speaker 2: got a bunch of extras. But then it's got the
Speaker 2: Gamber future length documentary. It's also got the Danish director
Speaker 2: Paul In Europe's nineteen sixties trilogy of youth films in
Speaker 2: a brand new four K restoration from all three, which
Speaker 2: is crazy. There is a lot coming in this release again.
Speaker 2: One hundred and twenty page booklet with a bunch of
Speaker 2: names that you recognize, including Justin Little Liberty from Cinematograph
Speaker 2: and Vinegar Syndrome.
Speaker 4: Just tons of stuff you into reffing it all. Oh, yeah,
Speaker 4: I have to. I'm Danish, so that's like required, it's
Speaker 4: built in. Yeah, in the blood.
Speaker 3: No, I'm a huge I don't love everything he makes,
Speaker 3: but I'm happy everything he makes exists. But also I mean,
Speaker 3: like I'm a basic person. I love Drive. I think
Speaker 3: Drives great.
Speaker 2: You know, it's a very good movie at the very least. Yes,
Speaker 2: all right, so that is second site for this month. Everybody,
Speaker 2: of course, still waiting on the release of Possession, but
Speaker 2: we'll have to wait at least a little bit longer.
Speaker 2: Next up is the one and only Deaf Crocodile, who's
Speaker 2: in the chat talking about the imprint prices.
Speaker 4: Yes, very expensive.
Speaker 2: Right, So now we've got pre orders up for two
Speaker 2: brand new releases from Deaf Crocodile. We talked about these
Speaker 2: a few weeks ago, so I'll just get your feelings
Speaker 2: on Deaf Crocodile after this.
Speaker 4: First one is The Devil's Bride from nineteen seventy four.
Speaker 2: This is a beautiful movie from just some of the
Speaker 2: most scenic landscapes I've ever seen in a film that
Speaker 2: is a musical that I think a lot of you
Speaker 2: that follow this page will love.
Speaker 4: This is a Lithuanian film.
Speaker 2: And we were lucky enough to be able to do
Speaker 2: a visual essay on it, and it's incredible.
Speaker 4: Got a bunch of other extras on you.
Speaker 2: We got an audio commentary from Michael Brooke, We've got
Speaker 2: new interviews with people that were associated with the film,
Speaker 2: including the Uh I believe it's the daughter of the director.
Speaker 4: Is that right? Yeah?
Speaker 5: Uh?
Speaker 2: And then of course new essays by Alexander Hiller, Nicholas
Speaker 2: and Walt Shaw in the booklet. Are you into Deaf
Speaker 2: Crocodile at all, especially as an animation theme?
Speaker 3: Of course I am. I Actually it's funny. I mean,
Speaker 3: like as much I think they're the animation that they
Speaker 3: release is incredible and the attention that they're giving to
Speaker 3: like the just stuff that I had never heard of.
Speaker 3: But I do think that like that Ilia Morimet release
Speaker 3: is one of my favorite releases that's come out in
Speaker 3: the past like ten years. That is just such a
Speaker 3: gorgeous release. Like I was, that was one whet, just
Speaker 3: like it was so unfamiliar with that with that movie
Speaker 3: and the filmmakers, and like the fact that they opened
Speaker 3: kind of that entire world of those sort of of
Speaker 3: those like Russian you know, big sweeping fantasy movies.
Speaker 4: It's just I don't know. So yeah, Love Love, Love
Speaker 4: Deaf Crocodile amazing.
Speaker 2: One more release from theirs, which is one of my
Speaker 2: favorite releases in their entire catalog. They are putting out
Speaker 2: a deluxe edition release of The Pied Piper. This is
Speaker 2: the nineteen eighty six film by Jerry Barta that was
Speaker 2: released previously while they were with OCN, and now to
Speaker 2: make it worth it, they are putting out a second
Speaker 2: disc that is going to include the rest of Barta shorts,
Speaker 2: which are beautifully animated in stop motion and they are
Speaker 2: they're kind of like small masterpieces and every single one.
Speaker 2: And then on top of that, of course, this has
Speaker 2: a brand new sixty page illustrated book. It's got the
Speaker 2: essay that was in the original release, so you're not
Speaker 2: missing out on that. And it's also got new stuff
Speaker 2: by Jonathan Oen and Waltshaw.
Speaker 4: Have you seen The Pied Piper.
Speaker 3: I haven't, but I've been dying too. I'm actually like,
Speaker 3: this would be right up your alley. Yeah, I'm gonna
Speaker 3: pick this one up this edition. It's actually I hated
Speaker 3: that I missed it when it first came out, so
Speaker 3: I'm very excited to pick this one up.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and everybody's talking about the art. The art on
Speaker 2: this box is incredible. Brian Level is the one that
Speaker 2: did the hard box on this and if you want
Speaker 2: to hear more from Brian Level, he happened to be
Speaker 2: in the episode of The Deaf Crocodile podcast that premiered
Speaker 2: last Friday.
Speaker 4: Go give that a listen, all right.
Speaker 2: Going on from there, we got some releases from Severn,
Speaker 2: which I had heard that this was coming a few
Speaker 2: months ago, and I feel like there's some really great
Speaker 2: stuff here. So this is coming in early August if
Speaker 2: you order it straight from the Severn site, and then
Speaker 2: it will be coming on September thirtieth if you order
Speaker 2: it from a wide release partner like Amazon or somebody
Speaker 2: like Diabolic. But this is Donza Macabra Volume four, and
Speaker 2: the films in this are pretty great looking. We got
Speaker 2: Terror and Creature from the Grave. They have also we'll
Speaker 2: talk about the details on the second. We've got Night
Speaker 2: of the Damned in there. On top of that, we've
Speaker 2: also got The Devil's Wedding Night and Bobby Yaga. And
Speaker 2: the big thing here is we are getting a four
Speaker 2: K box set and a Blu ray box set, and
Speaker 2: they are able to do that by making different color
Speaker 2: art on the box, which is kind of a clever
Speaker 2: way to tell those apart.
Speaker 4: I'm glad they're doing that.
Speaker 2: I really wanted to talk about the pricing real quick
Speaker 2: because we just talked about imprint, which massively expensive for
Speaker 2: a really popular movie. I'm not taking that away, but
Speaker 2: the Blu ray box set for Donta Macabra is seventy
Speaker 2: nine dollars in the US, and that is it's still
Speaker 2: a huge set.
Speaker 4: It is seven discs.
Speaker 2: Then you go to the four K set, it's one
Speaker 2: hundred and twenty five dollars, So that's it's more expensive
Speaker 2: because four K is expensive to make, but it's eleven discs.
Speaker 2: Because you get the four K discs and the Blu
Speaker 2: ray discs and there's a CD. This is, in my opinion,
Speaker 2: just the very clear like antithesis of that Imprint pricing.
Speaker 2: Like I love what Imprint does, but this to get
Speaker 2: all these brand new special features, to get great films
Speaker 2: four K and Blu ray and you're getting one hundred
Speaker 2: and twenty five dollars in a hard box.
Speaker 4: That's pretty good pricing on that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Severn always kills it with those big sets like
Speaker 3: that al Adamson set is like one of my favorite
Speaker 3: things I own, and I always feel like there's such
Speaker 3: a good value, Like I remember, I just feel like
Speaker 3: every time they announce one of these big sets, I
Speaker 3: just like cannot believe how good everything in it looks
Speaker 3: and the value that you're getting out of getting it
Speaker 3: is always feels like way worth it. So I always
Speaker 3: love Severn for that.
Speaker 2: Yep, they do incredible work to be able to capture
Speaker 2: you know, entire filmmakers history in a box sometimes or
Speaker 2: like the folk Core sets which are.
Speaker 4: Just mind blowing and what they're able to comput.
Speaker 2: So yeah, Severn doing some great stuff, especially if you
Speaker 2: like this type of film. I mean, this is a
Speaker 2: really great box set in my opinion. And then they're
Speaker 2: also putting out a pixel Alix or Hall of Fame
Speaker 2: pin that they do for Rosalba Nieri, which I had
Speaker 2: most of these up until a point where I said,
Speaker 2: I have no more room, but this is I love
Speaker 2: that they're still putting these out all right after that.
Speaker 2: August twenty six, Keeno Lber are putting out The Two
Speaker 2: Jakes on four K and Blu Ray. This is the
Speaker 2: sequel to Chinatown, which was included in the Paramount presents
Speaker 2: four K of Chinatown, but only on Blu Ray. So
Speaker 2: if you really love Jack Nicholson and you want to
Speaker 2: see it on four K as the only way to
Speaker 2: do it, this is getting a new audio commentary by
Speaker 2: Max Allan Collins that he is moderated with Heath Holland,
Speaker 2: who's over at Cereal at midnight, who everyone says you
Speaker 2: look like so congratulations.
Speaker 3: Oh okay, cool, I'll take you. That's a compliment.
Speaker 2: Jack Nicholson, How do you feel about Jack or the
Speaker 2: Two Jakes? Have you seen the Two Jakes?
Speaker 3: I have not seen Two Jakes, but I will say
Speaker 3: that this is one of those four K announcements that
Speaker 3: burned me because when that Paramount Chinatown came out, like, I,
Speaker 3: that's again, this is where I panic by stuff. And
Speaker 3: like I heard, you know, cause that Chinatown release that
Speaker 3: has this in it in a Blu ray was when
Speaker 3: out of you know, there is out of print, and
Speaker 3: like they announced that like they were having like a
Speaker 3: they found a couple of copies. They threw them up
Speaker 3: on Amazon, and I was in no position where I
Speaker 3: was like, I just I didn't need to buy a
Speaker 3: four K at that moment. But I was like, well,
Speaker 3: I have to get the one with two Jakes because
Speaker 3: if I don't get this, I'm never gonna have two
Speaker 3: Jakes on Blue right, Like I'm that's just never gonna happen.
Speaker 3: And then I should have known that Keno would put
Speaker 3: it out on four K, Like I should have considered that.
Speaker 2: So sib says, that's why my fingers and toes across
Speaker 2: were bringing out the Dead from Criterion.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I would think that would make sense.
Speaker 2: Actually, now that it's out of print from Paramount Presents,
Speaker 2: it'd be nice to see that come over to Criterion
Speaker 2: Dell's here. I was on Dell's channel last night to
Speaker 2: give it that a watch. Yeah, let's let's keep going here.
Speaker 2: Next up is Undisputed coming on four K in August
Speaker 2: twenty six from Keno. This is the Wesley Snipes and
Speaker 2: Ving Raim's film. This has a new audio commentary by
Speaker 2: Mark Mark Oh I read the second name Hello, Matt
Speaker 2: Rutledge and Mike Leader. I totally mixed those two names together.
Speaker 2: Mike Leader's been on the channel before. Good guy, have
Speaker 2: you seen Undisputed?
Speaker 3: I am unfamiliar with this movie, which is surprising because
Speaker 3: I love Westless and I have and ving Rams quite
Speaker 3: a lot. So, but it's two.
Speaker 2: Thousand and two, so that could be why it was
Speaker 2: after the the ving Rams renaissance in the Western Side Downfall.
Speaker 4: All right, yeah, I don't I'm not.
Speaker 2: Sure if I've seen Undisputed either. It's been a long
Speaker 2: time since this came out.
Speaker 3: But that being said, whenever Qino puts something out on
Speaker 3: four K, I do tend to look into it a
Speaker 3: little more. And I've boughten some blind four K is
Speaker 3: from Qino that I have not been disappointed with.
Speaker 2: So it's really easy when they're eighteen dollars on sale,
Speaker 2: like we're going to talk about tonight. All right, So
Speaker 2: next up is hammer Over in the UK, releasing on
Speaker 2: August eleventh. Blood Orange from nineteen fifty three. This is
Speaker 2: a four K one of their their slim line boxes.
Speaker 2: They're doing like these deluxe sets and then these about
Speaker 2: half of that size, still deluxe compared to most releases sets,
Speaker 2: and they are putting out a lot of classic films.
Speaker 2: Blood Orange is not what most people would probably call
Speaker 2: a classic Hammer film. This is one that a lot
Speaker 2: of people did not know much about. But the big
Speaker 2: thing is it's directed by Terrence Fisher and for a
Speaker 2: lot of people that alone is blind by worthy. This
Speaker 2: is going to be coming in a two disc set.
Speaker 2: You got a rigid box as usually, you got a
Speaker 2: four K disc Blu ray disc, and then of course
Speaker 2: it's got the booklet with it. You've got new commentaries,
Speaker 2: a bunch of new extras. They treat these releases very well.
Speaker 2: You like any Hammer films.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I guess it's not one. It's not
Speaker 3: a sort of studio or like realm of film that
Speaker 3: I ever had a like deep die of appreciation with.
Speaker 3: But like whenever I catch one, I like it. It's
Speaker 3: but I mean, I will absolutely this sounds like right
Speaker 3: on my alley.
Speaker 2: So yeah, it looks pretty decent, and I mean again
Speaker 2: Terrence Fisher.
Speaker 4: I'll watch it.
Speaker 2: I just don't know if it's a buy a huge
Speaker 2: four K box set watching.
Speaker 4: This is probably the release.
Speaker 2: That pissed off the most people on my page this
Speaker 2: week August eighteenth. Over in the UK, Warner Brothers is
Speaker 2: releasing The Mask from nineteen ninety four with Jim Carrey
Speaker 2: in a.
Speaker 4: Blu Ray steel book. Yes, a Blu Ray steel book.
Speaker 2: This is the same Blu Ray disc that they've been
Speaker 2: putting out for the last I don't know, fifteen years,
Speaker 2: and they're just saying, hey, let's put it in a
Speaker 2: gaudy purple and green steel book and say, alrighty, then
Speaker 2: how do you feel about the Mask?
Speaker 3: I love it. I mean it came out when I
Speaker 3: was like five years old, so of course, like I
Speaker 3: grew up with it and thought it was great. But
Speaker 3: I am cracking up over the fact that this is
Speaker 3: a steel book for a fifteen year old disc.
Speaker 2: Yeah, pretty much everybody that saw this went, you know,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna wait on a four K, and I would
Speaker 2: say that is a wise decision. I believe there's a
Speaker 2: rumor that it is coming literally either late this year
Speaker 2: or early next year. It will be happening, and because
Speaker 2: it's Warner, that will if you really want to steal book,
Speaker 2: there will be another one. It might even be this
Speaker 2: exact same desire, So good luck. Yeah, this is a
Speaker 2: wild decision. Speaking of the UK, Dazzler Media, which has
Speaker 2: been stepping up their four K output, they're putting out
Speaker 2: Girl from the North Country from this year on a
Speaker 2: four K and Blu Ray release. This one I had
Speaker 2: not heard about, but it sounds freaking great, this says.
Speaker 2: Set in nineteen thirty four d Luth, Minnesota during the
Speaker 2: Great Depression, Girl from the North Country centers on Nick Lane,
Speaker 2: who struggles to keep his guesthouse afloat amidst financial ruin.
Speaker 2: His wife Elizabeth battles dementia, while their adopted daughter, Mary
Speaker 2: Anne harbors a secret pregnancy. The guest house becomes a
Speaker 2: refuge for a diverse group of drifters, each grappling with
Speaker 2: their own hardships. As their lives intertwine, themes of love,
Speaker 2: loss and hope emerge, all underscored by reimagined renditions of
Speaker 2: Bob Dylan songs including Forever Young, All Along the Watchtower,
Speaker 2: Hurricane and Like a Rolling Stone. This is a Bad
Speaker 2: Way musical adaptation that has been made into a film that.
Speaker 4: I gotta be honest, I kind of want to see this.
Speaker 2: You got some Connor McPherson in this or written and
Speaker 2: directed by Connor McPherson and supposedly great.
Speaker 3: I've never heard of this.
Speaker 2: Connor says. Saw a girl from North Country on Broadway
Speaker 2: to Luth, Minnesota. Represent nice, Connor, are you from Minnesota?
Speaker 2: Originally I did not know that. Yeah, this sounds really good.
Speaker 2: I gotta be honest, reading that synopsis, I wouldn't think, yeah,
Speaker 2: that should be on a Broadway play that we're hiding pregnancies, and.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that sounds cool. I'm interested. I'm actually unfamiliar with
Speaker 3: that label.
Speaker 2: So yeah, they've done quite a few more four k's.
Speaker 2: They've really started to step up there. They're not like
Speaker 2: the best quality, but they're they're better than the Blu
Speaker 2: rays they're coming out in the US usually, so speaking
Speaker 2: of Blu Rays in the US, Air forty four. Forty
Speaker 2: four has said that they are not ship there's yet.
Speaker 2: We got a couple of delays here. P Mock Alone
Speaker 2: and Mermaid Legend have been delayed. They're waiting for their
Speaker 2: restock of standard editions of read to kill and run
Speaker 2: and kill as well. They are doing everything they can
Speaker 2: to expedite those manufacturing and they think.
Speaker 4: That they will be able to get them shipping in July.
Speaker 4: But that's sort of the story with a bunch of
Speaker 4: these labels over the last few months.
Speaker 3: So yeah, and I know Air four four four four
Speaker 3: is like a really small team. I've actually had some
Speaker 3: correspondence with them when I had a defective disc, like
Speaker 3: they were great in terms of getting back to me
Speaker 3: and everything. But I recognize that, like I've been following
Speaker 3: them since like their first release, like and uh so
Speaker 3: they're you know, I'm I'm I always want to give them,
Speaker 3: like us, maybe a little more patience than I would
Speaker 3: at one of the bigger places. So but because I
Speaker 3: I don't know, I love all their releases, so they're but.
Speaker 4: Not films that nobody else is. Uh So you got
Speaker 4: to give that to him for sure.
Speaker 2: I missed this comment when it was made, so Dell
Speaker 2: was talking about the mask. He says it could be worse.
Speaker 2: Like Walmart put out the same DVD several times a
Speaker 2: year with different slip covers. I post them as announcements,
Speaker 2: but I wanted to share that Walmart is repackaging two
Speaker 2: releases from Screen Factory. They're putting out the often overlooked
Speaker 2: little indie gym by one I think his name is
Speaker 2: John Carpenter called Halloween. They're putting out a two disc
Speaker 2: four K set, so they're dropping a third disc and
Speaker 2: putting in this orange like slip art I think. And
Speaker 2: then they're repackaging the old Vincent Price Collection Volume one
Speaker 2: into the same style of art. Just those two releases.
Speaker 2: Not why necessarily.
Speaker 3: Price Collection gets reprinted like every four months.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, except for I think Volume two, which went
Speaker 2: at after like seventeen hours and that was it. I
Speaker 2: got a question in the chat Karin wants to know
Speaker 2: any new mount of Micabro news. I can't say anything
Speaker 2: else definitive yet, but I can say I have a
Speaker 2: podcast recording with Macabre for next week where we will
Speaker 2: get some more news guaranteed. This one kind of surprised me.
Speaker 2: July fifteenth, we are getting a Blu Ray release of Manifest,
Speaker 2: the complete series from Warner Brothers. Now, I'd never seen
Speaker 2: the show, but i'd heard it's actually kind of decent,
Speaker 2: and I gotta be honest, seeing an airplane under the
Speaker 2: ocean water here is sort of intriguing. But yeah, this
Speaker 2: was on from twenty eighteen to twenty twenty three, and
Speaker 2: the big thing is this was I think Netflix rescued
Speaker 2: it for its final season and it was like a
Speaker 2: CBS show for the first four years something like that
Speaker 2: or three years. But now more TV on Blu ray
Speaker 2: is always a good thing. And to get something that
Speaker 2: was on Netflix on Blu Ray, it's getting to be
Speaker 2: more and more of a rarity these days.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I am unfamiliar with this show, but like you said,
Speaker 3: I'm always very supportive of anything that is like technically
Speaker 3: streaming only finding a home on yeah physical.
Speaker 2: Well, my buddy Brian, who is an audio engineer in
Speaker 2: New York, says, Nope, it's terrible. I mix some of it,
Speaker 2: so maybe I won't watch it.
Speaker 3: So you know what, if it's if the price is
Speaker 3: low enough, I'm sure i'll check it out.
Speaker 2: Well, it's five seasons of a TV on Blu ray,
Speaker 2: so probably won't be as cheap enough for either of us. Yes,
Speaker 2: Barnes and Noble hosting a Radiant sale right now, which
Speaker 2: is pretty great, fifty percent off all of the Radiance titles.
Speaker 2: It is running until August third, quite a long sale.
Speaker 2: It works online and many Barnes and Noble are stocking
Speaker 2: these in store at the moment. But the cool thing
Speaker 2: for those of you that don't have Barnes and Noble
Speaker 2: or if they've sold out, because I believe in a
Speaker 2: couple titles they have, Amazon's pretty much price matching everything,
Speaker 2: and everything's on sale even that's current. So the brand
Speaker 2: new Todd Salons release of Palindromes on four K it's
Speaker 2: only twenty five bucks.
Speaker 4: Baby for the time to buy.
Speaker 3: It, Yeah, I know, because I had loaded up my
Speaker 3: Barnes and Noble basket and by the time I went
Speaker 3: back to actually check it out, massa Massia of Evil
Speaker 3: had sold out.
Speaker 4: So damn I know.
Speaker 2: Well, speaking of Barnes and Noble, it's that time. Supposedly
Speaker 2: the Criterion sale is launching tonight. We don't have exact
Speaker 2: Barnes and Noble confirmation on that, but all rumors are
Speaker 2: pointing to that happening tonight at midnight, so be prepared
Speaker 2: to spend that money.
Speaker 4: Anyways, there's too much.
Speaker 3: It's just too many.
Speaker 2: I've got another sale to talk about here, Limelight over
Speaker 2: in the UK, which is sort of.
Speaker 4: Like a diabolic DVD.
Speaker 2: They are not a label putting out titles, but they're
Speaker 2: just a distributor or retailer essentially. They've got nine hundred
Speaker 2: plus titles. In fact, when I clicked on, I think
Speaker 2: it was just over a thousand, which I thought it
Speaker 2: was weird that they said over nine hundred and then
Speaker 2: the sale had over a thousand. I'd just say over
Speaker 2: a thousand. That's They've got all kinds of stuff on sale, firm,
Speaker 2: lots of big companies that you'd probably love, like Bfi, Eureka, Indicator,
Speaker 2: one to one Films, Fabulous Films, Anti Worlds, the sisters
Speaker 2: company of Indicator, Third Window Films, and a whole bunch
Speaker 2: of studio stuff too. If you are in the UK
Speaker 2: you get freak shipping over fifty pounds, and if you're
Speaker 2: anywhere else in the rest of the world you have
Speaker 2: to jump that up to two hundred pounds to get
Speaker 2: free shipping, and that's a lot of money. But they've
Speaker 2: got some pretty damn good prices over there. Just a warning, Yeah,
Speaker 2: anybody else check out the Limelight, So I want to
Speaker 2: hear what anybody got from this thing.
Speaker 3: I wasn't I wasn't aware that this was happening, and
Speaker 3: now I'm like panicking because one, there's already enough sales
Speaker 3: happening right now, but there's like It's UK stuff also
Speaker 3: just sort of at all being there in one place
Speaker 3: that's very very enticing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and we're talking like there'res I think there were
Speaker 2: Third Window titles that were like ten pounds. There is
Speaker 2: Indicator stuff that was under ten pounds. There was Eureka
Speaker 2: stuff that I wanted that was like twelve pounds.
Speaker 4: Tell me that, yeah, it's it's a pretty good sale.
Speaker 4: I'm sorry.
Speaker 2: Uh, And of course I clicked the wrong thing one
Speaker 2: second here that was the last thing.
Speaker 4: Uh. Next, Uh, that is a terrible picture of me.
Speaker 2: I was on an episode of the Split Your Head
Speaker 2: podcast that came out this week.
Speaker 4: Go check that out.
Speaker 2: Supposedly I got more personal there than I do in
Speaker 2: many other places. I've had a bunch of people message
Speaker 2: me that they listen to this, So if you're into it,
Speaker 2: go give it a listen.
Speaker 4: Uh man. Umbrella.
Speaker 2: Umbrella is like many people's favorite label right now, and
Speaker 2: it seems to be a race between Umbrella and Seconds.
Speaker 4: I so you love Umbrella.
Speaker 3: I love Umbrella.
Speaker 4: What is a couple favorite releases they put out?
Speaker 3: I mean like, uh, I mean, off the top of
Speaker 3: my head, I mean they're they're super Myer Brothers UHD incredible,
Speaker 3: their razorback UHD is incredible. And then also uh there
Speaker 3: King Kong lives, Like I'm just so stoked that they
Speaker 3: released that on Blu Ray like that that I'm so
Speaker 3: happy that that exists. And I've actually been really really
Speaker 3: excited to dive into their French extremity box sets. I
Speaker 3: know there's a new one that was announced recently, and
Speaker 3: I'm just I love Umbrella there. They're the best.
Speaker 2: Mozart's ghost says the Wake and Fright four K is gorgeous,
Speaker 2: and all I can express right now is jealousy that
Speaker 2: mine is not here yet.
Speaker 4: God, I am dying to watch that movie.
Speaker 2: In four K, even though this is like the worst
Speaker 2: time in the world to watch Wake in Fright, because
Speaker 2: it's so goddamn hot across the US.
Speaker 3: All Right, so.
Speaker 2: Umbrella this time, lots of really great stuff. We've got
Speaker 2: the film ANNGST from nineteen eighty three coming on four
Speaker 2: K out of Australia. This is gonna have, of course
Speaker 2: a regular standard edition if you want the four K,
Speaker 2: but the Deluxe is gonna have a forty eight page
Speaker 2: book with behind the scenes of material, archival interviews and
Speaker 2: new essays by Jack Sargent and David Michael Brown. Custom
Speaker 2: rigid slipcase Let's see Reversible poster, new audio commentaries times two,
Speaker 2: one of them by the director, one of them by
Speaker 2: Cat Allinger, Kat Illinger and Martin Conterio. A post screen
Speaker 2: and q in with the director and the lead actor
Speaker 2: who plays the serial killer.
Speaker 3: Here.
Speaker 2: Uh, we've got a new interview with the actor himself.
Speaker 2: We've got through the Eyes of a Killer, and interview
Speaker 2: with the cinematographer. Just all kinds of stuff coming on.
Speaker 2: This's including a location feature at which is kind of red.
Speaker 2: Tell yeah, uh, how do you feel have you seen
Speaker 2: onst Yes?
Speaker 3: I really really love this movie. I became aware of
Speaker 3: it when I first saw Irreversible because apparently Gus Barno
Speaker 3: has said that that it was like one of the
Speaker 3: main inspirations for that movie, and so I punted it down,
Speaker 3: got a copy and it is It is dark and grimy,
Speaker 3: it's it's great. I the second I saw this come up,
Speaker 3: I was just like, that's a perfect four K release,
Speaker 3: Like that is a movie I want to on four
Speaker 3: K so bad.
Speaker 4: Yeah to uh to say, I am going to sit
Speaker 4: down and watch a movie that inspired Irreversible does not
Speaker 4: feel great.
Speaker 2: However, uh angst is incredible. This movie is stupendous. It
Speaker 2: is gory, it is frenetic, It is beautifully shot in
Speaker 2: a weird way because it's it's primarily a single location
Speaker 2: sort of serial killer thriller. But good lord, are our lead.
Speaker 4: Actor here, Erwin what's his last name?
Speaker 3: Is it?
Speaker 4: Leader? I don't want to yeah, yeah, Erwin leader or
Speaker 4: Erwin later.
Speaker 2: He is stupendous in this movie. He is just the
Speaker 2: perfect kind of deranged. The rumor is that Cult Epics
Speaker 2: in the US is likely going to be upgrading this
Speaker 2: to four K eventually because they did the Blue.
Speaker 4: But for those of you the love Umbrella, this is.
Speaker 2: The exact way that you're gonna want to o jest
Speaker 2: this movie because it's incredible, and I can pretty much
Speaker 2: guarantee Cult Epics will not get as many extra as
Speaker 2: are going.
Speaker 3: To be on this lisk.
Speaker 2: So ANX, I'm so glad you've seen it, because so
Speaker 2: many people are like, OHNX, this looks pretty what is it?
Speaker 4: I have to go?
Speaker 2: We want to be really upset, all right, next one
Speaker 2: is one that I have not seen. This is The
Speaker 2: Resurrection of the Golden Wolf also known as The Golden
Speaker 2: Wolf Revives from nineteen seventy nine. Have not seen this before.
Speaker 2: This is Yusaka Matsuda starring in this one. It's got
Speaker 2: a forty eight page booklet with behind the scenes material
Speaker 2: and new essays. It's got the reverse bill poster, all
Speaker 2: the stuff that Umbrella usually does. On this We've got
Speaker 2: a new interview with the director Toru Marikawa, and then
Speaker 2: some new corporate fantasy and masculine identity in the Resurrection
Speaker 2: of the Golden Wolf that Robert Edwards is speaking on.
Speaker 2: Not a ton on this disc, but for those that
Speaker 2: want it, I believe this is going to be the
Speaker 2: best release of this film yet.
Speaker 4: For sure. Have you seen this one or even heard of?
Speaker 3: Never heard of this one when when it came up,
Speaker 3: but instantly intrigued by it.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Really great looking art too, very very compelling, The story
Speaker 2: sounds good. I love Asian movies, just plain and simple.
Speaker 2: I mean, going through this week the New York Times
Speaker 2: Best of the twenty first Century that everybody's posting, I
Speaker 2: had to literally fight myself to not I have ten
Speaker 2: different Asian films and that's.
Speaker 4: It on my list.
Speaker 3: She's done it. Just go for me.
Speaker 4: It was pretty close. Yeah, I definitely wanted to. Next
Speaker 4: up is The Reef.
Speaker 2: I think I've seen this one, but this is from
Speaker 2: twenty ten Shark Tech movie coming on Blu Ray on
Speaker 2: October eighth.
Speaker 4: This is a.
Speaker 2: Clearly pretty Australian film. I'm glad they put it out.
Speaker 2: We got a four y eight page booklet with a
Speaker 2: new essay by Anthony O'Connor, behind the scenes of material, interviews,
Speaker 2: all that stuff, new audio commentary with the director, moderated
Speaker 2: by David Michael Brown, some new interviews.
Speaker 4: Have you seen The Reefs?
Speaker 3: I haven't, but it's an another movie, another like early
Speaker 3: two thousand's Shark movie that I am so happy is
Speaker 3: getting like a loving release. I'm here for it, and
Speaker 3: I'm here to discover all the ones that I missed.
Speaker 2: I you know, I don't love every shark movie, but
Speaker 2: I pretty much want to see every single shark movie
Speaker 2: because they will at least be interesting just borderline and
Speaker 2: then at worst, yeah, they're pretty bad, but some of
Speaker 2: them are incredible, and I walk away feeling very happy
Speaker 2: I got to see that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I feel like you're gonna have a good time
Speaker 3: no matter what.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a shark movie. Come on, let's see Sam
Speaker 4: saying I love angst Cubic Lover also loves Asian movies.
Speaker 2: I'm so glad I'm in good company there. Shark Romantic Ryan,
Speaker 2: that's what I do.
Speaker 4: You know what? Give me an agent architect movie, I guess,
Speaker 4: and that's perfect for me. Let's keep going. Next is
Speaker 4: the anthology film that I still can't.
Speaker 2: Believe this is coming out through Umbrella, The ABC's of
Speaker 2: Death from twenty twelve, which is directed by seemingly everybody
Speaker 2: under the.
Speaker 4: Sun at the time, including Ty West.
Speaker 2: Like I was talking about, us is getting a really
Speaker 2: nice looking Umbrella release that will be very like children's
Speaker 2: book coded like they've done on their Winnie the Pooh releases.
Speaker 2: So far have a forty eight page booklet with some
Speaker 2: new essays, and then we got some new extras, including
Speaker 2: a commentary by Graham Duff and Steven Thrower, which Stephen Thrower,
Speaker 2: I feel like, doesn't do as many commentaries anymore. He
Speaker 2: kind of does like a thirty minute interview, and this
Speaker 2: is kind of a very interesting movie for him to
Speaker 2: do a commentary on so stoked on that we got
Speaker 2: new interviews with some people that directed or produced and
Speaker 2: some other stuff, but a lot of us behind the
Speaker 2: scenes on many of the segments of this. I remember
Speaker 2: watching this when it came out and loving I don't
Speaker 2: know ten of the twenty six segments something like that.
Speaker 2: And for an anthology that is about twenty six short films,
Speaker 2: that's not that bad. That's a pretty decent hit rate.
Speaker 3: I feel like walking away with a run time of
Speaker 3: a longer run time of good stuff than you would
Speaker 3: for most anthologies, like halfway okay, Like I don't know,
Speaker 3: they're like there, I think you're right, it's about I
Speaker 3: feel like it's almost like half and half. But there
Speaker 3: are some gems in ABC's of Death, like I've I
Speaker 3: love I can't remember who made d for Dogfight that's
Speaker 3: probably my favorite one. And then I love Jason Eisner's
Speaker 3: Young Buck in there too, Like I just I don't know.
Speaker 3: Those are so good and there's so many good ones
Speaker 3: in here. This was a really cool release.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: For those that have never seen this or heard of this,
Speaker 2: the I guess the shtick to it is that it's
Speaker 2: twenty six different shorts, all done with a certain letter
Speaker 2: to be the ABC's of death. There's stuff like a's
Speaker 2: for Apocalypse, b's for Bigfoot, f is for fart rs
Speaker 2: for that one's great part is great.
Speaker 3: It's from the guy who did It's from the guy
Speaker 3: who did the Machine Girl. It's so good.
Speaker 4: It is messy to say the least.
Speaker 2: Dell's saying he only liked four or five of the
Speaker 2: twenty sixteen Uh oh, yeah, there is a new love
Speaker 2: death in the Robots season. That's right, Golden says. I
Speaker 2: checked out fis for Bartwood watching it and said, that's a.
Speaker 4: Lot for me. Honestly, Golden, I get it. I totally
Speaker 4: get it.
Speaker 2: Next up, you mentioned the French Extremity Box, and they
Speaker 2: are putting out a second set on October eighth of
Speaker 2: their new extremity collection. This covers Doberman in My Skin,
Speaker 2: which everybody and their mother is releasing right now. Yeah,
Speaker 2: twenty nine Palms and a Fat Girl. We get lots
Speaker 2: of new extras on this. Literally every single film is
Speaker 2: getting new extras extreme films. How do you feel about
Speaker 2: stuff like this?
Speaker 3: I really, I mean, I like when I was growing up,
Speaker 3: like when I was kind of discovering who I was
Speaker 3: as a filmmaker. Like it was around like, you know,
Speaker 3: the mid two thousands, so it was a big part
Speaker 3: of that splat pack boom. So like I was, you know,
Speaker 3: you know a lot of the American stuff, but also
Speaker 3: kind of really enjoying that, but then also kind of
Speaker 3: going off and finding the kind of diving into French
Speaker 3: extremity and discovering that and being like, oh shit, they're
Speaker 3: not fucking around like and so like I've always had
Speaker 3: like a very soft spot for French extremity. So I've
Speaker 3: been like over the moon that Umbrella has been putting
Speaker 3: these out. I'm really really excited for this one.
Speaker 2: So one of the things I wanted to point out
Speaker 2: because I don't think I highlighted it enough on the
Speaker 2: first release when they announced the Volume one. I am
Speaker 2: excited that we get a company that is putting out
Speaker 2: a collection of films like this that, yes, at the
Speaker 2: heart they're new French extremity, so there's like a genre
Speaker 2: leaning where they're all tied together, but they didn't just
Speaker 2: lean into the title. Every single thing gets very similar
Speaker 2: and stylized key art, everything is built to look the same.
Speaker 2: That is really cool, and we don't get a lot
Speaker 2: of opportunities to.
Speaker 4: See something like that, and I'm glad they're doing it.
Speaker 2: It could have easily just been the original poster art
Speaker 2: on the cases on the inside, and it might even
Speaker 2: be on the on the flip side. But for those
Speaker 2: that like stylized releases like this so great. I love
Speaker 2: that they're doing that.
Speaker 3: Yeah that like that art for twenty nine Palms alone,
Speaker 3: Like I would I want to like frame that, like
Speaker 3: that's so cool.
Speaker 2: Well you do get a poster, Yeah, yeah, this is
Speaker 2: this is a fun set. I know that there's been
Speaker 2: some rumblings of some of the French extremity getting like
Speaker 2: some bigger releases from some other more popular labels, But
Speaker 2: if this tickles you in the right way, I mean
Speaker 2: it matches the first volume perfectly too, So it's kind
Speaker 2: of a really great one two punch the hard part.
Speaker 4: Yeah, like in my skin.
Speaker 2: It has got two other four K releases now from
Speaker 2: Radiance and from seven and Doberman just got to release
Speaker 2: a couple of years ago, and twenty nine Palms just
Speaker 2: got to release a couple years ago. I don't think
Speaker 2: Fact Girl's got a big boutique release reach.
Speaker 3: I think it's that's Criterion isn't it. Didn't they put
Speaker 3: that out?
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, yes it was a while ago, but yes,
Speaker 4: it's definitely not four K. So I don't think you
Speaker 4: got a word about that.
Speaker 2: And I don't even think there was like a ton
Speaker 2: on the disc, So even then, this might be better
Speaker 2: than the Criterion disc. But I totally get waiting. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I've heard that there's a couple that have never been
Speaker 2: released in the US prop that might be getting US
Speaker 2: releases soon. I have no confirmation on that, but it
Speaker 2: would be cool to see. All right, next up, Oh man,
Speaker 2: this is so cool. Lionsgate putting out a this part
Speaker 2: sucks an Amazon exclusive four K release of but I'm
Speaker 2: a Cheerleader from nineteen ninety nine. This is coming on
Speaker 2: August twenty sixth. A lot of people saw this picture
Speaker 2: were confused because it looks like the classic lions Gate
Speaker 2: plastic cover over a steel book. From what I can tell,
Speaker 2: there's no steel book. Nothing looks like a steel book
Speaker 2: to me, and there's nothing in the listing this says
Speaker 2: steel book. I believe this is just a slipcover over
Speaker 2: a case basically, But I'm a Cheerleader.
Speaker 4: Have you seen this?
Speaker 3: I had long time ago and it was like one
Speaker 3: of those things that like as like I think I
Speaker 3: was like in my early teens. When I saw it,
Speaker 3: I remember being like, this looks stupid, Like I'm I'm thirteen,
Speaker 3: this is this doesn't look like what I want to watch.
Speaker 3: And then my brother was just like, no, no, no, it's
Speaker 3: like really good. You should watch it. And I watched
Speaker 3: it and loved it, and I actually did not realize
Speaker 3: that because I saw this announcement, I didn't realize it
Speaker 3: was a four K that's awesome.
Speaker 2: That is exciting, and the better thing is it sucks
Speaker 2: because it's kind of a double dip. Like people were
Speaker 2: surprised a couple of years ago when I got a
Speaker 2: Blu ray release, but it was it was a messy
Speaker 2: rollout of the release, to say the least, because half literally,
Speaker 2: and this is where it gets really weird, half of
Speaker 2: their release of this came out as burned just BDR
Speaker 2: Blu rays, not even pressed, and then the other half
Speaker 2: came as press Blu rays. So nobody was like, what's
Speaker 2: the rhyme or reason here that what they're doing nothing
Speaker 2: is proper, And so if you wanted to order it,
Speaker 2: it was sort of a gambler are you going to
Speaker 2: get the proper release or are you going to get
Speaker 2: some burn thing that may not last as long. And
Speaker 2: now all of those people are getting burned a little
Speaker 2: bit because we're properly getting a four K release, which
Speaker 2: is great, but you know a lot of people were like, yeah,
Speaker 2: we finally get it, and then got a terrible release
Speaker 2: for them just to fix it. So, yeah, Ronnie wants
Speaker 2: to know if it's the director's cut. I can find
Speaker 2: confirmation either way. Unfortunately, I'm going to bet that it's
Speaker 2: the exact same that was on the Blu ray, So
Speaker 2: I don't think that was the director's cut. But Ronnie,
Speaker 2: do you know, I don't remember there being much of
Speaker 2: a difference, Like it's only like two quick parts of
Speaker 2: a couple scenes. Maybe, but I don't remember. It's been
Speaker 2: a long time since I saw the director's cut. This
Speaker 2: is an amazing movie. Everybody should see it. It's incredible,
Speaker 2: very important movie. Harvey from nineteen fifty This is a
Speaker 2: four K release coming from Universal directly on August nineteenth.
Speaker 2: This is the James Stewart film about a wealthy drunk
Speaker 2: who starts having visions of a giant rabbit named Harvey.
Speaker 2: I've never seen this. This is rather great that this
Speaker 2: is getting a four K release, though, have you seen.
Speaker 3: I've actually never seen Harvey. But it's like one of
Speaker 3: those of you that's been on my radar for a
Speaker 3: very long time, and now I feel like cool that
Speaker 3: I waited until it got a four K to watch.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Craig, Harvey is available for pre order.
Speaker 4: I saw it up on Amazon.
Speaker 2: I don't think it's been anywhere else yet, but yeah,
Speaker 2: you can pre order there and it's actually I think
Speaker 2: it's pretty cheap.
Speaker 4: It's like twenty two right now or something else.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 4: Sance has never seen Harvey.
Speaker 3: The fuck.
Speaker 4: I've never even heard of Harvey until this got announced.
Speaker 4: I gotta be honest, See.
Speaker 3: I remember, I remember. This is very funny, Like I
Speaker 3: remember when I saw Donnie Darko the first time. My
Speaker 3: like very snobbish brother was just like, oh well, it's
Speaker 3: just a rip off of Harvey and looking and I
Speaker 3: don't think the movies are the same at all, but
Speaker 3: it's just like there's about imaginary talking rabbits.
Speaker 4: So yeah, we all end up in that space at
Speaker 4: some point in our lives. I guess.
Speaker 2: August twenty sixth oh, Craig was saying about Cheerleader. Cheerleader
Speaker 2: is an Amazon exclusive and that is available to pre
Speaker 2: order on Amazon. All right, Next up, Lords of Discipline.
Speaker 2: This got announced previously and we finally got some details.
Speaker 2: This is coming on August twenty sixth from Keno on
Speaker 2: a release and on a Blu Ray release. You can
Speaker 2: just pick up the Blu Ray if you want. This
Speaker 2: is going to be a brand new HDR Dolby Vision Master,
Speaker 2: which I believe in this was announced, it was only
Speaker 2: announced as an SDR Master, so a little bit of
Speaker 2: an upgrade.
Speaker 4: There.
Speaker 2: New audio commentary by some of the men that always
Speaker 2: do these. We got Steve Mitchell and Nathaniel Thompson, and
Speaker 2: then we've got Pat Conroy, the historian Lynn Smith who
Speaker 2: is dedicated to Pat Conroy. So I'm glad this is
Speaker 2: getting a good release. Never seen this one and don't
Speaker 2: know anything about it.
Speaker 3: Same like the poster though. It's cool.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it looks nice.
Speaker 2: The Innkeepers we talked about it earlier. If you are
Speaker 2: not in the UK or you don't want to import,
Speaker 2: Dark Sky Selects is selling The Innkeepers over on their website.
Speaker 2: This is a four K steel book and it's got
Speaker 2: the same bonus features that are coming on the second
Speaker 2: site release. I believe, And I gotta be honest, like
Speaker 2: I said, I don't always love steel books. This one's
Speaker 2: pretty nice. It's like minimalist are that really fits the film,
Speaker 2: that is just really decent.
Speaker 4: Can't really complain about that.
Speaker 3: Do you know if it's because I remember when dark
Speaker 3: Sky released their Texas Chainsaw release, their HDA or the
Speaker 3: UHD of that. I remember thinking like, oh cool, I
Speaker 3: won't need to import the second site and then I
Speaker 3: found out second site's restoration was completely different than that one.
Speaker 3: Do you happen to know if these it's the same.
Speaker 2: I don't know offhand, but I'm willing to bet that
Speaker 2: they're the same. I think dark Sky are dark Sky
Speaker 2: has given up trying to compete at that point and
Speaker 2: they've just said, yeah, we'll take it.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Would not surprise me at all.
Speaker 2: And a reminder, you can only get this on their
Speaker 2: website unless it sells really poorly, then they'll probably put
Speaker 2: it on Amazon, kind of like they did with that
Speaker 2: Giant Texas chainsaw thing. Ty West Are you ty Ty
Speaker 2: West guy?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 3: I mean I I It's like I again, I think
Speaker 3: I appreciate his vision for his movies. Like even the
Speaker 3: movies that Ty West does that don't necessarily work for me,
Speaker 3: I still again am just like, well, I'm super glad
Speaker 3: that someone is making those. That being said, he does
Speaker 3: make some movies that really are just like home runs
Speaker 3: with me and like for me, like I love Pearl
Speaker 3: and I love House of the Devil, like I just
Speaker 3: I adore both those movies. I was actually kind of
Speaker 3: bummed that House of the Devil wasn't getting a four
Speaker 3: K from second sight, But what are you gonna do?
Speaker 3: But it's he's one of those filmmakers where it's it's
Speaker 3: I am, I'm I'm gonna I'm gonna pick this up.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna pick up innkeepers on four K. I just
Speaker 3: like his kind of ethos and where his like his
Speaker 3: point of view in making movies. Always appreciate that.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I did a show a few months ago on Larry
Speaker 2: Festenden and Ty West is from the Larry Festenden crowd.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 2: Festenden is a producer on this and did a bunch
Speaker 2: of stuff with Ty So I for some reason just
Speaker 2: all of like that group tend to hit for me,
Speaker 2: like the way that they film the stories they tell
Speaker 2: something about it.
Speaker 4: It just feels right, I.
Speaker 2: Think, yeah, all right, so that's the innkeepers all right.
Speaker 2: We've not talked about Black Zero in a long time.
Speaker 2: Black Zero is a company in Canada that is ran
Speaker 2: by Stephen Brumer. He's done some extras for some other companies.
Speaker 2: He's in fact on some upcoming Deaf Crocodile releases. We'll
Speaker 2: be talking about him soon. These are primarily very experimental films.
Speaker 2: They're sort of all over the place, and when he
Speaker 2: puts these out, he is essentially somebody like gold Ninja Video,
Speaker 2: who is doing it all from his house to make
Speaker 2: these really great releases out of Canada, just like justin
Speaker 2: at Gold Ninja, and he puts everything you possibly can.
Speaker 2: So this first release, it's three releases, and there's be
Speaker 2: a lot of details here. The films and videos of
Speaker 2: Christine Lucy Latimer, all three of these are available now.
Speaker 2: By the way, these defy their containers. They reveal the
Speaker 2: fragile systems underlying media press, the boundaries of image making machines,
Speaker 2: and embrace the faults and frailties of vision. Almost all
Speaker 2: of Latimer's work is silent, but nothing is truly silent.
Speaker 2: Latimer's images recall the hums, tweets, and mechanical moans of
Speaker 2: the technology with which she made them. Her work began
Speaker 2: long after most of the format she employees had become obsolete.
Speaker 2: Refusing the universal nostalgia of the antique camera and the
Speaker 2: antique image, Latimer's works are an undeniably present facing and
Speaker 2: playfully disobedient, ethereal and abstract, supremely self conscious yet mystical.
Speaker 2: They are seances that dry out the ghosts in the machine.
Speaker 2: These are all from two thousand and two to twenty
Speaker 2: twenty one, and there are seventeen different projects from Lader
Speaker 2: on this disc. Lots of stuff on here. The main
Speaker 2: feature here is sixty one minutes. Some stuff is in
Speaker 2: black and white, some is in color. They've got all
Speaker 2: kinds of different aspect ratios. And then on top of
Speaker 2: all that, because just like justin the Gold Ninja, he
Speaker 2: puts a lot in bonus features. So we've got digital
Speaker 2: masters approved by the artist Christine Lucy Latimer. We've got
Speaker 2: a new interview with Christie. We've got fourteen additional project
Speaker 2: specific interviews throughout the disc on Fragile Systems.
Speaker 3: Here.
Speaker 2: Stephen Brumer also does a visual essay himself, and then
Speaker 2: there's some selected audio commentary. So essentially, if you're buying
Speaker 2: this disc, you're gonna be able to live in it
Speaker 2: for hours and hours because there's so much here. I
Speaker 2: don't even know where to start. I mean, amazing looking release,
Speaker 2: so sold.
Speaker 3: I'm totally unfamiliar with Latimer, but that this just sounds
Speaker 3: like something so at my alley.
Speaker 2: So that's basically how I feel reading every single one
Speaker 2: of his releases. Let's go to the second one. This
Speaker 2: one is a Crisis Collision Resolve. These are projects from
Speaker 2: nineteen ninety one to twenty seventeen, and this says through
Speaker 2: the course of the nineteen eighties, Canadian artist filmmaker Richard
Speaker 2: Kerr had gradually moved towards an accelerated cinema, an imagistic
Speaker 2: cinema of movement, montage and aggressive sound design. Kerr's work
Speaker 2: in this accelerated cinema became increasingly total at the same
Speaker 2: time that he became invested in the model of the
Speaker 2: teacher practitioner, collaborating directly with the students and working with simple,
Speaker 2: accessible tools. This gathers thirteen of Kurz films made between
Speaker 2: ninety one and twenty seventeen, chronicling an important phase in
Speaker 2: his creative evolution, Crisis. Collision Resolve serves as a portrait
Speaker 2: of an artist pushing the limits of the moving image
Speaker 2: while pitching a dynamic dialogue between pedagoguey, collective action, and
Speaker 2: personal vision. Lots of stuff here the main feature two
Speaker 2: and a half hours long, So again you are getting
Speaker 2: tons of extras, newly restored digital masters approved by the director,
Speaker 2: new interview with Richard Kerr, visual essay on Kurz Demimond
Speaker 2: by Canadian filmmaker Stephen Broomer who runs the label, and
Speaker 2: then some liner notes in this again like sounds very interesting,
Speaker 2: nothing I had ever heard of in my life. I
Speaker 2: feel the exact same as Ronnie. I wish I had
Speaker 2: the budget to take a chance on all these. Ben
Speaker 2: says you can find trailers for these on their YouTube.
Speaker 4: Go check that out out.
Speaker 2: And then the final one from Black Zero is Slow Run,
Speaker 2: which is it looks to me at least to be
Speaker 2: the least experimental of these. Slow Run is a raw
Speaker 2: lyrical portrait of New York City seen through the eyes
Speaker 2: of a young Canadian exile, the filmmaker Larry Kardish at
Speaker 2: twenty three years old, had made his first and the
Speaker 2: only film is a candid love letter to the city.
Speaker 2: A litany of fascinations and complaints. Cardish blends a dreamlike
Speaker 2: street photography, intimate portraiture, and rhapsodic monologue performed by the
Speaker 2: filmmaker's fictional surrogate, a young Canadian expat. The narration accounts
Speaker 2: the lives and relationships of a group of young bohemians
Speaker 2: and unfolds in parallels to the imagery rather than in
Speaker 2: dialogue with it, creating at tension between voice and vision,
Speaker 2: presence and distance. This is from I think it's a
Speaker 2: nineteen sixty eight and extras on this. We've got a
Speaker 2: new digital restoration approved by Larry Krdish. There's a new
Speaker 2: interview with Larry Kardish. There is a visual essay by
Speaker 2: Stephen Brmer again and then liner notes by David Spidel.
Speaker 2: It's an eighty minute feature in black and white. And
Speaker 2: to me, this sounds incredible.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm I'm really, I mean, I'm actually not gonna
Speaker 3: lie like I'm pretty unfamiliar with that label. So I'm
Speaker 3: really excited to dive in and look more into these, Like,
Speaker 3: I really want to check these out.
Speaker 2: So Black Zero. For those like Andres that had never
Speaker 2: heard of these, we are looking at a label. Like
Speaker 2: I said, it's one guy literally making these in his
Speaker 2: living room. These are burned discs, high quality burned discs,
Speaker 2: so you don't have to worry about I'm dying in
Speaker 2: a couple weeks or anything. These are going to be
Speaker 2: delivered in cases. They're delivered usually with liner notes. They're
Speaker 2: professionally made as much as he can from his home,
Speaker 2: and pricing wise, for what you're getting, they're kind of
Speaker 2: astonishingly cheap considering he is putting these together himself. It's
Speaker 2: basically like boutique level delivery on the cheapest possible way
Speaker 2: to get them.
Speaker 4: In your hands.
Speaker 2: The hard part is it's Canada, so shipping is gonbe
Speaker 2: be a little bit of a bitch.
Speaker 4: If you're gonna do it.
Speaker 2: The best way to do it is either find a
Speaker 2: friend that is super into experimental cinema, which, lucky enough
Speaker 2: for you, nobody else likes experimental cinema, so you're true.
Speaker 4: But if you get a couple.
Speaker 2: That you're into and spread that love around. He's got
Speaker 2: a bunch of stuff that he had released previously that's
Speaker 2: still up on the site. Usually there's are fairly limited
Speaker 2: at least like the booklets and stuff you can you
Speaker 2: can buy the releases and he will get them to
Speaker 2: you a nice and safe little hint. I'm planning on
Speaker 2: having him on the channel. Steven's gonna come talk about
Speaker 2: these films and share why they are important to capture.
Speaker 3: That's awesome with them and Gold Ninja, like that's I mean,
Speaker 3: I'll just start out there. I love Gold Ninja and
Speaker 3: always feel like Justin does the same thing a little
Speaker 3: bit where it's like the pricing is right, Like I
Speaker 3: just I really appreciate the pricing on his stuff and
Speaker 3: it also ends up balancing out that shipping. So I
Speaker 3: don't know, I'm I'm I don't know. I guess I
Speaker 3: love one man Canadian.
Speaker 4: Nables is Pacific kink. I love that.
Speaker 2: Uh you know, if somebody has never paid attention to
Speaker 2: Gold Ninja, I've been re listening to some stuff that
Speaker 2: incredible friend of the Channel, Bill Ackerman has done on
Speaker 2: the show supporting characters Gold Ninja. Justin d Klue has
Speaker 2: this incredible interview that he did with Bill years ago
Speaker 2: that's I don't know, like two and a half hours long,
Speaker 2: but you hear about the genesis of Gold Ninja and
Speaker 2: everything he's done, and is something about Justin is just infectious.
Speaker 2: And I don't mean in a medical way. I mean
Speaker 2: you are just excited about movies. To hear him talk
Speaker 2: about this stuff, and to hear why they're cheap when
Speaker 2: he's able to put these out, to hear why he
Speaker 2: puts out as much as he can on the disc,
Speaker 2: it's I don't know, there's something very inspiring about it.
Speaker 3: One of my favorite things is the first because whenever
Speaker 3: I get a Gold Ninja release, the first thing I
Speaker 3: do is I check what the secret movie is. Yeah,
Speaker 3: and there's I just love his intros too, Like it's
Speaker 3: like that you're saying, or he just that dude just
Speaker 3: loves movies so much and gets so excited about just
Speaker 3: the most obscure, like Hong Kong movie that no one
Speaker 3: has ever heard of, that played on one TV channel
Speaker 3: once like forty years ago, like it's I'll.
Speaker 2: Love it and somehow he saw it thirty four years
Speaker 2: ago and he's been chasing it down since then, and yes,
Speaker 2: was his life's work and here it is.

Speaker 2: Twenty two different partner label releases good Lord, one of
Speaker 2: them from a brand new partner label. Amongst them the
Speaker 2: recent VSP theatrical release of They Call Her Death, which
Speaker 2: has been getting pretty decent reviews. That one's gonna be
Speaker 2: released not by VSP or Vinegar Syndrome but by Yellow
Speaker 2: Veil actually, and then of course an abundance of new
Speaker 2: merch and clothing. Every day at noon there will be
Speaker 2: new sub label releases, so they want you to come

Speaker 2: new merch, catalog slipcovers, and then a bunch of stuff
Speaker 2: is going to be on sale. The next day, new
Speaker 2: stuff is going to go on sale, and we already

Speaker 2: We're already getting another one the following day. July third,
Speaker 2: we get a new cinematograph and then a refresh of deals.
Speaker 2: July fourth, refresher deals and then a new VSL. July
Speaker 2: fifth will be a VSA and a bunch of new
Speaker 2: daily deals that VSA. By the way, I believe they
Speaker 2: have said that it's a trilogy, and there is a
Speaker 2: rumor online that it's a trauma trilogy. I don't remember
Speaker 2: what the title was, but we were talking about it
Speaker 2: in the discord today. And then July sixth is a
Speaker 2: brand new Degausser they're gonna be doing their Blu ray release.
Speaker 2: And then of course the fancy led VHS if you
Speaker 2: want it, plus new deals, and then the final day
Speaker 2: a cinematograph title and new daily deals. That's right, two
Speaker 2: cinematograph titles, next week's VSU, a VSA trilogy, a VSL
Speaker 2: three vinegar sindrome titles, twenty two partner label releases, merch deals.
Speaker 4: Holy god, that is so much for one week.
Speaker 3: We just finished partners only month or just we're not
Speaker 3: even done with it yet. I just I feel like
Speaker 3: I just put in my order for the uh, just
Speaker 3: like I bit on that Saturn's Core ten disc set. No, Uh,
Speaker 3: it just doesn't end. That never ends.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's uh, it's gonna be rough. There's a lot here.
Speaker 2: I see some speculating on titles and people being excited
Speaker 2: about some stuff.
Speaker 4: Yeah, there's there's a lot to cover here.
Speaker 2: So, uh, first off, Dario Argenta for care, are you
Speaker 2: into to Argenta likest of us?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, any speculation what you think this might be?
Speaker 3: Then, I don't know. I'm trying to think about what
Speaker 3: is missing from his four K of stuff that people
Speaker 3: would actually want to see, because I feel like, now,
Speaker 3: you know what, I feel like, there is some later
Speaker 3: Argento stuff that I feel like gets a bad rap
Speaker 3: that I kind of still enjoy, but I just can't
Speaker 3: imagine they're gonna do a four K for card Player
Speaker 3: or something like that, like as much as I enjoy
Speaker 3: that movie. But I don't know. So I'm i'm I'm
Speaker 3: I'm am I missing something. I'm like forgetting because I
Speaker 3: feel like Severn like basically covered everything else that that
Speaker 3: every other Yeah.
Speaker 2: I done, Severn did the off the wall stuff. Oh
Speaker 2: Sam's watching live. Sam says may have a cover in
Speaker 2: this batch. Interesting, dying to see what that is. Yeah,
Speaker 2: so the argentle Piece. There's a few things. I'm my
Speaker 2: guess and I know nothing. By the way, I know
Speaker 2: nothing about this batch of releases. I'm betting that this
Speaker 2: is just gonna be a really boring Argento upgrade that
Speaker 2: people will be like, Okay, we've had nine releases of this,
Speaker 2: so I think it's gonna be something like Sleepless most
Speaker 2: likely because that's been a little easier to license in
Speaker 2: the past, and it's an Argento four K, so it'll
Speaker 2: sell well for them. That being said, there are some
Speaker 2: things that could be decent here. I've seen a bunch
Speaker 2: of people speculate that it could be Mother of Tears,
Speaker 2: which is never even gotten a Blu Ray release in
Speaker 2: the States.
Speaker 3: I have that that's a dimension extreme DVD YEP.
Speaker 2: So on that note, because it hasn't gotten a Blu
Speaker 2: Ray and it specifically says a UHD debut, not a
Speaker 2: high definition review debut, I have a feeling that it
Speaker 2: will not be that, and there's probably a problem with
Speaker 2: that in the US. It's probably got some rights issues
Speaker 2: that it will just not be able to come out.
Speaker 2: We got some people guessing Inferno. The issue here for
Speaker 2: John and for Sibner, I am I am hearing, and
Speaker 2: the big rumor for the last few years was that
Speaker 2: Disney owns the rights to Inferno, so it was never
Speaker 2: gonna be able to happen in the US. I had
Speaker 2: also heard from somebody else that they had looked into it,
Speaker 2: and Disney doesn't own the rights, but I don't think
Speaker 2: it's going to be Inferno anytime soon. Unfortunately, Underground release
Speaker 2: that then, because they released that Blue God.
Speaker 4: What is the release date on that?
Speaker 3: That's an old one. I remember picking that up forever ago.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Inferno originally came out in two thousand and eleven,
Speaker 2: So that's why in fourteen years a lot happened, like
Speaker 2: they hadn't even owned Fox yet. The hard part with
Speaker 2: our gento, and this is where I don't mean to
Speaker 2: talk shit, but we're gonna go there for a second.
Speaker 2: Made He's made some real stinkers, Like there's a few
Speaker 2: movies that this could be that people are just be like,
Speaker 2: oh God, And honestly that includes Mother of Tears. Most
Speaker 2: people hate that movie that have seen it. He's made
Speaker 2: some really bad movies, but just attaching his name to
Speaker 2: it will get people excited.
Speaker 4: In p oh a.
Speaker 3: Dracula three d UHD would sell out with a slipcover
Speaker 3: in five minutes.
Speaker 4: It's true, It's true. I really could not argue with that.
Speaker 2: There was I think I missed a clue for a
Speaker 2: Cinematograph title, Oh here it is including the four K
Speaker 2: debut of a new Hollywood masterpiece. So that has people
Speaker 2: speculating some big things of what this could be. Cinematograph
Speaker 2: has played a little lucy goosey to say the be
Speaker 2: the least about this. So what's a new Hollywood masterpiece?
Speaker 2: It could be a handful of things. It could be
Speaker 2: a real masterpiece. It could be something from a director
Speaker 2: that everybody loves.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't know, this could be many different things.
Speaker 3: No idea, but I mean everything they've announced through through that,
Speaker 3: I mean, Cinematograph has been a home run.
Speaker 4: So nice.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there is a lot to go over. Next week
Speaker 2: is gonna be busy. Uh, it's gonna be hectic. It's
Speaker 2: gonna be so tiring for me posting all these announcements. Yeah,
Speaker 2: the show next week with Will is going to be
Speaker 2: hillacious because I'm also hearing and I think the way
Speaker 2: that I have this right shout Factory. They're they're announcing
Speaker 2: their stuff on Monday, and I believe that they have
Speaker 2: specifically stated that they have and I can't believe I'm
Speaker 2: saying this about shot Factory, but twenty five releases not
Speaker 2: not Films releases.
Speaker 4: Coming out on Monday.
Speaker 2: And if that's the case, dear God, because we are
Speaker 2: we are likely getting at least one to six of
Speaker 2: these new Golden Princess titles that they're putting out of
Speaker 2: the Agent stuff getting announced.
Speaker 4: But that's only a little bit.
Speaker 2: If there's actually twenty five releases, that's a lot of
Speaker 2: stuff to upgrade to four K in one month.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's uh. And especially so I have like PTSD
Speaker 3: from missing the Slumber Party Massacre two three blu ray
Speaker 3: because Summer Party Massacre two is like one of my
Speaker 3: favorite movies ever made, and I'm like so thankful that
Speaker 3: they re released it with the first one on four K,
Speaker 3: but not having the third one haunted me for like
Speaker 3: six years until I finally found a copy that wasn't
Speaker 3: like absurdly priced. But like, so, if they release Slummer
Speaker 3: Party Massacre three on four K, I'm I will be
Speaker 3: very happy, but I will be very sad.
Speaker 2: So I believe that is impossible from what I've heard
Speaker 2: behind this same me too, so thankfully that is probably
Speaker 2: not happening. Craig says, maybe we should just pile on
Speaker 2: and announce everything we have lined up all the way
Speaker 2: into twenty twenty seven.
Speaker 4: Next week course, oh my gosh, I would love it.
Speaker 4: Mozart Ghostas. Next week will be a support groups.
Speaker 3: Oh my god.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's gonna be a long week next week,
Speaker 2: so be prepared and everybody.
Speaker 4: So yeah, that's vinegar syndrome. We'll we'll be here all
Speaker 4: next week.
Speaker 2: Next up from Keno, following up everything we just talked
Speaker 2: about with The Rock August twenty six, we're getting a
Speaker 2: four K of The Rundown, the two thousand and three
Speaker 2: film with Sean William Scott.
Speaker 4: The Rundown.
Speaker 2: This movie is worth watching at least once for Christopher Walkin.
Speaker 2: Not much else, but he is rather funny in this.
Speaker 2: This is gonna have new audio commentary by Mike Leader
Speaker 2: and Matt Rutledge and everything else on here is a
Speaker 2: archival extra.
Speaker 4: But the Rundown, How do you feel about this one?
Speaker 3: You know, I was like a junior in high school
Speaker 3: and this came out, So I definitely have like a
Speaker 3: little bit of nostalgia for this like early two thousands garbage.
Speaker 3: But I'm not going to extol like that's some hidden masterpiece.
Speaker 3: But I do appreciate that Keno is giving it a
Speaker 3: little bit of attention.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's nice they were able to run down the rights.
Speaker 2: I'm sure I should have tried harder. Eighty eight films.
Speaker 2: They've got a bunch of titles. They announced that they
Speaker 2: will likely be delaying here soon. That's a joke. They
Speaker 2: did not announce that. They did announce these titles first.
Speaker 2: One September twenty ninth, we got a four K and
Speaker 2: Blu Ray release coming in the UK of Heart of Dragon,
Speaker 2: the Jackie Chan film from nineteen eighty five.
Speaker 4: They had done this on Blu Ray.
Speaker 2: Oh gosh, twenty twenty eighteen, twenty nineteen, something like that.
Speaker 2: I don't know if that one's been available steal, but
Speaker 2: it's nice to see this come out. It's got Samo
Speaker 2: hung in it. A lot of people love this one.
Speaker 2: This is going to have two versions of the movie.
Speaker 2: You get the Hong Kong cut and the Japanese Extended cut,
Speaker 2: which is eight minutes longer.
Speaker 4: There is a bunch of.
Speaker 2: Different soundtrack options on this, all kinds of archival extras,
Speaker 2: new audio commentary by David West. There is a making
Speaker 2: of special It's almost forty nine minutes long, behind the
Speaker 2: scenes special video for the pre release event of this,
Speaker 2: but they are kind of crushing it with the Jackie
Speaker 2: Chan four K right now.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I mean, I'm eighty eight. It's just like
Speaker 3: the care that they've treated, just like Hong Kong gen
Speaker 3: or cinema is. I am so greatly appreciative of it,
Speaker 3: and I don't know, like this is what I actually
Speaker 3: haven't seen. I will watch any Jackie Chan movie, any
Speaker 3: Samo Hung movie, So I'm very very excited to check
Speaker 3: this one out.
Speaker 2: Chris is sharing that the brand new release from Fun
Speaker 2: City Editions is only fifteen ninety nine right now. Breaking
Speaker 2: Glass is fifteen ninety nine on Amazon. That's pretty damn cheap.
Speaker 2: Good to know, Chris. Thanks, this is something that made
Speaker 2: a lot of people have September twenty second, eighty eight
Speaker 2: is putting out a four K and blu ray release
Speaker 2: of Hackers from ninety five.
Speaker 4: How do you feel about Hackers, sir?
Speaker 3: I have never seen it is This is a huge
Speaker 3: blind spot for me. It's one that I have very much.
Speaker 3: I keep meaning to get this shout select four K
Speaker 3: that they released, but I just haven't yet. But I've
Speaker 3: been wanting to. I mean, I keep hearing from everyone
Speaker 3: who's ever seen it that I would love this movie.
Speaker 4: So yeah, this is this is a classic.
Speaker 2: Most people that have seen this love it for so
Speaker 2: many different ways. Matthew Lillard is great in this and
Speaker 2: got like third building on the cover of this, which
Speaker 2: I don't love, but I am. I'm stoked that this
Speaker 2: is coming out from A eight Films. I don't think
Speaker 2: they've had a really great release over in the UK,
Speaker 2: so that's nice for them. This one, we've got a
Speaker 2: brand new four K remaster. I don't think it's any
Speaker 2: different from the Shout one. I think that they're using
Speaker 2: the exact same one and calling it a brand new
Speaker 2: four K remaster because it's brand new to the UK.
Speaker 2: Probably nothing different. But the big thing here, you got
Speaker 2: Dolby Vision on this, and you've got Dolby Atmos, which
Speaker 2: the Shout release does not have atmos. So if you're
Speaker 2: super into great sound, this is the one to get
Speaker 2: for sure. We've got audio commentary by the director and
Speaker 2: Mark Kermode on this, and then a look back at Hackers,
Speaker 2: a brand new interview with the director and some cast
Speaker 2: members and all that stuff. I don't know that those
Speaker 2: are actually brand new again. I think they're kind of
Speaker 2: playing loose with the definition of new because that's new
Speaker 2: to the UK and it happened at the same time
Speaker 2: as The Shout and they were brand new then.
Speaker 4: I don't know, there's a weird way to justify it.
Speaker 4: But good movie.
Speaker 2: A lot of people love it. It's very very nineteen nineties.
Speaker 2: It will feel so dated if you're watching it for
Speaker 2: the first time, but worth it for sure.
Speaker 3: I mean, he's rocking a floppy disk on the cover, so.
Speaker 4: He's got to hack the planet til.
Speaker 2: Then next up from them as nineteen seventy three's The
Speaker 2: Man Called Noon coming on Blu Ray in the UK
Speaker 2: on September eighth. This is a let's see it says,
Speaker 2: all he knows is that he lost his memory after
Speaker 2: an accident during a shootout. But why do those men
Speaker 2: want him dead? Turns out he's a man with a past,
Speaker 2: a master gunfighter with the history of violence, and while
Speaker 2: he might have forgotten who he is, his enemies certainly
Speaker 2: have it. This is a classic euro Western with an
Speaker 2: unusual pedigree, made not by Italians but by Brits and
Speaker 2: I believe Keno released this previously, so there may be
Speaker 2: another option out there to get this for cheaper. I
Speaker 2: think it's still available if I remember right. There's an
Speaker 2: audio commentary on here by Lee Broughton. There's also an
Speaker 2: audio commentary this one is brand new for sure, by
Speaker 2: Troy Howarth and Eugenie or Kilani. New artwork looks great
Speaker 2: on this film, but I have certainly never seen this.
Speaker 2: How do you feel about Westerns overall?
Speaker 3: Oh? Love love westerns. I grew up in a house
Speaker 3: where my mom was obsessed with Westerns, and so that's
Speaker 3: what she was always watching growing up. And I don't know,
Speaker 3: just really that stuff's like catnip to me. I actually
Speaker 3: wrote my first Western this year, my first like actual Western.
Speaker 3: I don't know if it's ever going to get made,
Speaker 3: but I don't know. I love love western so I'm
Speaker 3: I'm absolutely all in on checking this one out.
Speaker 4: Fairy, Now are you? Are you leaning heavily into the
Speaker 4: Western tropes out there? Of course?
Speaker 3: I mean it's a it's an anthology with some fantastical elements,
Speaker 3: But I like to think that, like I was paying
Speaker 3: paying the right amount of tribute while trying to do
Speaker 3: something a little a little.
Speaker 4: Different, interesting, very interesting.
Speaker 3: They'll go ahead.
Speaker 4: He wants to know if you're a John Wayne fan.
Speaker 3: Uh. I like his movies. I am less thrilled about
Speaker 3: the man.
Speaker 4: You don't want to be his best friend?
Speaker 3: No, not really, but I do. I mean, I like
Speaker 3: John Wayne movies, so yeah, no, no complaints there, but
Speaker 3: I can't say I would ever really want to be
Speaker 3: the man's friend. But I do love like classic American westerns.
Speaker 3: I love I mean, I love obviously spaghetti westerns is,
Speaker 3: but like there is something really just I love about
Speaker 3: like the old like fifties, black and white American westerns too,
Speaker 3: So I just I like them all.
Speaker 4: So that is really cool. And now they want to know,
Speaker 4: are you a James Stewart fan?
Speaker 5: Uh?
Speaker 3: Yes, Oh yeah, I mean I yeah, I.
Speaker 2: Yes, easiest answer possible. One more, I think or no.
Speaker 2: Two more from eighty eight films. Shadows Own the Full
Speaker 2: Moon Full Moon film, also coming on Blu Ray in
Speaker 2: the UK on September eighth.
Speaker 4: This is wild art for this movie.
Speaker 2: But uh, it's gonna have an audio commentary by Dave
Speaker 2: Wayne and Matty Boudwitz.
Speaker 4: I believe that is.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the only extra coming on this.
Speaker 4: This is done by the same director of Oh Gosh,
Speaker 4: Now I'm forgetting I think he did?
Speaker 3: Was it? Slayer?
Speaker 4: I don't remember, but yeah, Shadow Zone, how do you
Speaker 4: feel about Full Moon? Full Moon stuff? For you into
Speaker 4: the way?
Speaker 3: I really love Full Moon too. I again, not not
Speaker 3: that they hit every time, but like I don't know,
Speaker 3: I have such a soft spot for like the puppet
Speaker 3: Master franchise. Like I know they kind of at a
Speaker 3: certain point maybe are there's a little bit of a
Speaker 3: decrease in quality, but like I really like the first
Speaker 3: five and like I don't know, Like I I just
Speaker 3: think that like when they hit, they hit, and they
Speaker 3: kind of ride that line that they're they're like almost
Speaker 3: kind of on the level of like trauma movies, where
Speaker 3: it's like this is like the right amount of trash,
Speaker 3: but it's elevated just a little bit because of like
Speaker 3: the spirit, like I love. I was so stoked that
Speaker 3: Bad Channel's got a Blu Ray release I have. I've
Speaker 3: had that DVD for a hot minute. So yeah, I'm
Speaker 3: I'm I love, I love Full Moon stuff.
Speaker 2: We're we're getting pretty low on number of titles that
Speaker 2: need a Blu Ray from Full Moon titles now. It's
Speaker 2: kind of crazy how many of like actually come out
Speaker 2: throughout the years.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and they're really good releases too, Like their four
Speaker 3: k they release for PUPA Master three is really good.
Speaker 4: There's such a crazy sentence that we can say, and it's.
Speaker 3: Weirdly the only one they put on on UHP. But
Speaker 3: it's it's a great release.
Speaker 4: It's true eighty eight films.
Speaker 2: The Kings of the cover art that I have to
Speaker 2: censor September fifteenth on Blu Ray in the UK as
Speaker 2: part of their French collection is Her and She and
Speaker 2: Him from nineteen seventy. This is supposedly pretty damn good,
Speaker 2: like one of the better of the French films that
Speaker 2: they've released so far. This is directed by Max Peakus.
Speaker 2: He's had a couple of films come out through Monto
Speaker 2: Micabro in the US. This has Let's calm down and
Speaker 2: talk about Max Paus featurette. There is a Max Peakus's
Speaker 2: Grave featurette, some additional scenes from the US version, a trailer,
Speaker 2: alternate title sequence. But yeah, everybody is probably gonna buy
Speaker 2: this for the art that is that is it. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I am definitely gonna be picking this one up, and
Speaker 2: not just for the art. It looks like a really
Speaker 2: great movie.
Speaker 3: Yeah, No, it's one I'm not familiar with at all's
Speaker 3: but always interested in the French stuff that the eighty
Speaker 3: eight deems necessary to release.
Speaker 4: Yeah, there's there's some questionable ones.
Speaker 2: Over in the UK, One to one Films is releasing
Speaker 2: Bad Lieutenant on four K on August eighteenth. This of
Speaker 2: course got a UK or four K from Keno here
Speaker 2: in the States fairly recently. Once again they've got listed
Speaker 2: as brand new extras an interview with Abel Ferrara. There's
Speaker 2: a location feature right on Bad Lieutenant. There's a limited
Speaker 2: booklet with a bunch of new writing, including friend of
Speaker 2: the channel Rich Johnson, who's on this one. Then archival extras.
Speaker 2: There is a Making a Bad Lieutenant, an older audio
Speaker 2: commentary Have you seen Bad Lieutenant?
Speaker 3: I have not, Actually i've actually not. I My like
Speaker 3: blossoming appreciation for Able Fererra's stuff is happened later in life,
Speaker 3: so I feel like I'm still catching up, Like I
Speaker 3: still haven't seen the the arrow release of King of
Speaker 3: New York. But I mean, like I love Driller Killer,
Speaker 3: Love Miss forty five. That's actually probably one of my
Speaker 3: favorite movies. So excited for the UHD of that coming out.
Speaker 3: But I have not not checked this one out yet,
Speaker 3: but I really want to.
Speaker 2: I don't love this one. I love Harvey Kitell and
Speaker 2: other stuff so much more. But this is for a
Speaker 2: lot of people that like this movie. They like worship
Speaker 2: this movie. It's a very stylized movie for sure, and
Speaker 2: Ferrara maybe a little hit or miss. But man, I
Speaker 2: really want to know when is that MS or Miss
Speaker 2: forty five. I was gonna says twenty three is a joke,
Speaker 2: but I probably shouldn't or MS thirteen, but yeah, Miss
Speaker 2: forty five. Let's get a brand new release of that
Speaker 2: in print from someone?
Speaker 3: Yes, Oh my god, because that's that era has have
Speaker 3: they officially an essay yet? Or is that just a
Speaker 3: that's a a rumor.
Speaker 4: I guess it's been like a very public rumor that
Speaker 4: Arrow might have it right.
Speaker 3: Well, I could not be more excited if that's a reality.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would love to see Erro do that. Okay,
Speaker 2: So we mentioned sales earlier. Keino Lover has launched their
Speaker 2: Spring into Summer sale. There are more than seven hundred
Speaker 2: titles on sale. You get free shipping at sixty dollars
Speaker 2: and over. This sale ends on July twenty first. That's
Speaker 2: a long ways away, so you got a little over
Speaker 2: three weeks. This is one of the bigger Quinolber sales.
Speaker 2: So this is like every two and a half months, echh,
Speaker 2: every three months, they'll do a sale like this. It's
Speaker 2: not there, Hey, it's Friday, and six things are discounted
Speaker 2: by eight percent. Now, these are like the eight dollars
Speaker 2: titles to eighteen dollars four k's Keino. Are you somebody
Speaker 2: that goes and trolls through these sales when they come.
Speaker 3: Up, I've already done it. I already have my car
Speaker 3: logged up in everything. There's a bunch of I mean,
Speaker 3: because that's the thing I love, and I think I
Speaker 3: realized it today, Like it just it generally across the
Speaker 3: board feels like a lot lot of stuff's getting more
Speaker 3: expensive for the sales aren't getting as good. I love
Speaker 3: that Keno is still, like I swear to God, like
Speaker 3: some of the four k's in there were like sixteen
Speaker 3: sixteen ninety nine, Like I was like, oh, they're getting cheaper. Yeah,
Speaker 3: so uh yeah. I always drop. I always feel like
Speaker 3: I load my basket up with like way too much
Speaker 3: stuff and then have to make some very difficult cuts
Speaker 3: get it down to like a sane number. But I'm
Speaker 3: I'm already I've already got my cart loaded up for
Speaker 3: this this cycle.
Speaker 2: Every time this sale goes live, I go and ad,
Speaker 2: it's a really stupid number. We're talking like sixty titles
Speaker 2: to my cart, and I'm like, yeah, these would all
Speaker 2: be great. And then the first thing I gotta do
Speaker 2: is go, Okay, how many of these do I already have?
Speaker 2: And it ends up being a really embarrassingly high number.
Speaker 2: And after that, I'm like, oh, there's only twenty four left.
Speaker 2: That's not too bad, right, And then I look at
Speaker 2: that and I go, do.
Speaker 4: I really need a four K upgrade to this one? No?
Speaker 2: Probably not? And then after that pair down, I'm down
Speaker 2: to like eleven. I'm like, okay, but do I need
Speaker 2: to buy eleven things? Probably not this till like as
Speaker 2: close to sixty. So there's there's a lot of embarrassing
Speaker 2: cuts there, right.
Speaker 3: Yeah I don't have Yeah, I'm, I'm, I'm. And that's
Speaker 3: the thing. Like Keno's the breadth of the stuff they
Speaker 3: put out, Like I remember, like during their last sale,
Speaker 3: it was like I picked up the h and or
Speaker 3: Puffin Stuff movie and and uh boe mos like just
Speaker 3: in the same order, and like seeing those come in
Speaker 3: the same package from the same label. I was like,
Speaker 3: I really love this. I love that they're putting these out.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's pretty red.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 2: Next up is another sale speaking of full Moon. There
Speaker 2: fourth of July sale is live. This is uh one
Speaker 2: of their better sales. Again, Full Moon does not do
Speaker 2: a lot of full sight wide sales. If you're gonna
Speaker 2: shop at the sale, click that link that I just
Speaker 2: put in the chat there. It helps me out ever
Speaker 2: so tiny amounts if you don't mind. There's stuff on
Speaker 2: sale that's not been on sale yet. Like, the big
Speaker 2: thing for me is the Subspecies coffin set is on
Speaker 2: sale and it's under one hundred bucks, and that thing
Speaker 2: is usually pretty expensive. They've got Delirium magazines on sale.
Speaker 2: They've got their box sets on sale. I believe they
Speaker 2: are sold out of their mystery boxes already that they
Speaker 2: were doing, but I mean there's figures for sale. It's
Speaker 2: kind of crazy what they're doing.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: No, that's another one where I've I've again already loaded
Speaker 3: up my cart and I have some very difficult decisions
Speaker 3: to make. Nice.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Full Mood is is a little wild, all right.
Speaker 4: Let's talk about raw meat.
Speaker 2: We talked about this a couple months ago when they
Speaker 2: teased that it was coming, but we got some details.
Speaker 2: So September thirtieth, Blue Underground is releasing on four K,
Speaker 2: on Blu Ray and on DVD Raw Meat aka Deathline
Speaker 2: that they had released previously. You can get this on
Speaker 2: September thirtieth with a new restoration. They don't mention a
Speaker 2: new scan. It's probably the exact same scan. It's just
Speaker 2: been more restored. This is a brand new restoration from
Speaker 2: the what do they call here? Sixteen bit from the
Speaker 2: uncensored OCN with Dolby Vision HDR and a new Dolby
Speaker 2: at most audio mix. On this disc, we're gonna have
Speaker 2: a commentary number one with the director, writer Gary Sherman,
Speaker 2: the producer Paul Maslansky, and then the ad Lewis Moore, o'ferrell,
Speaker 2: second commentary with Nathaniel Thompson and Troy Howarth, and then
Speaker 2: on the Blu Ray disc there are some archival extras
Speaker 2: on their newly expanded poster and stills gallery, all kinds
Speaker 2: of stuff on their Blue Underground.
Speaker 4: Are you into their stuff?
Speaker 3: Love them? I wish they released more stuff like I
Speaker 3: theyre actually like when I first started getting into like
Speaker 3: actually collecting more, you know, extensively, Like they were definitely
Speaker 3: one of the labels that, like early on I really
Speaker 3: got into and like they just had just put out
Speaker 3: a bunch of really awesome releases, and I think, like
Speaker 3: I really appreciate their commitment to like kind of going
Speaker 3: back to all their titles basically and doing four K upgrades. Again,
Speaker 3: I wish they released more stuff. Like I'm always like,
Speaker 3: oh shit, Blue Underground, I like forgot about them for
Speaker 3: a second, so but I'm always like super stoked when
Speaker 3: they do, like I'm I'm so I'm definitely picking this
Speaker 3: one up.
Speaker 4: Nice.
Speaker 2: I forgot about this via Vision Over in Australia. On
Speaker 2: October first, is releasing I'm not kidding here, which for
Speaker 2: many people it would sound like a joke, but yeah,
Speaker 2: this is This is Fully Real, a DVD collection of
Speaker 2: seasons one through twenty three of Air Crash Investigation.
Speaker 4: Yes, twenty three seasons of this show.
Speaker 2: This has taking viewers behind the scenes with gripping reenactments,
Speaker 2: re enactments, eyewitness accounts, and interviews with investigators. The series
Speaker 2: uncovers the truth behind the most legendary aviation disasters. This
Speaker 2: is going to be on sixty three Dishesschrist housed in
Speaker 2: custom made black box replica packaging. This is this is
Speaker 2: like nineteen different adjectives. This is very very silly. This
Speaker 2: is also really nerdy. This is also super cool. Like
Speaker 2: a show like this, I would never expect to get
Speaker 2: a physical media release like that, and to get a
Speaker 2: like full blown collector's edition in a giant black box.
Speaker 4: Is super ballsy and I love it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is great. Is there a price on there? Like?
Speaker 3: I have to imagine this is insanely.
Speaker 2: Expect Okay, So a reminder, this is coming from Via Vision,
Speaker 2: who is the owner of Imprint Films, So normally you
Speaker 2: would expect this to be a huge number coming from Imprint. Uh,
Speaker 2: what is your guess on this in US dollars?
Speaker 3: My gut is saying in the realm of like two
Speaker 3: point fifty.
Speaker 4: Okay, so that's that's very low. Remember that the never
Speaker 4: Ending Story is one.
Speaker 2: Uh this thing it's one hundred and eighty two dollars.
Speaker 4: Wow, sixty three discs is.
Speaker 3: Like that's kind of bread. That like makes me want
Speaker 3: to buy a show about airplane crashes that I've never
Speaker 3: heard of before.
Speaker 2: Right, So this is eighty dollars more than just the
Speaker 2: never ending story steal book.
Speaker 3: That's great.
Speaker 2: Uh, yes, it is only DVD, but it is sixty
Speaker 2: three DVDs in a black box.
Speaker 4: Now, there is one thing that bugs me about this.
Speaker 4: It's twenty twenty five and there's not subtitles on this
Speaker 4: at all. That rubs me the wrong way. Danny says
Speaker 4: he just wants the black well that the black box
Speaker 4: itself is four hundred dollars, so good. Yeah, I I
Speaker 4: don't know.
Speaker 2: What else to say about this friend out of the
Speaker 2: show Alex as he kind of kind of wants it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I kind of want it too.
Speaker 2: But also I'm never watching twenty three seasons of air
Speaker 2: crash investigations.
Speaker 3: I know, but like, I want to have the option to.
Speaker 4: This thing weighs three kilograms.
Speaker 3: It's like my favorite release of the year.
Speaker 4: Yeah, a seven pound black box just hanging in your
Speaker 4: movie room.
Speaker 3: What's that?
Speaker 2: Oh, sixty three subtitleist discs in two generation old format.
Speaker 4: No big deal.
Speaker 2: Okay, So there is a fundraiser going on from Pulse
Speaker 2: for a book on the adventures of Bud Spencer and
Speaker 2: Terence Hill that this is really dang neat. It's also
Speaker 2: gonna come with an exclusive documentary. You can go check
Speaker 2: this out on Kickstarter. Now there's all kinds of stuff
Speaker 2: you can pick up on the rewards. Pulse does this
Speaker 2: a couple times a year with some really great options
Speaker 2: for their Kickstarter stuff, and it's always just super neat
Speaker 2: what they're diving into and giving choices for, like the
Speaker 2: big thing. Pulse for those that don't know, Pulses, I
Speaker 2: believe is headquartered in France. I think they're a French company,
Speaker 2: but they're like, you know what, we want everybody to
Speaker 2: enjoy this. So for the book itself, there's like four
Speaker 2: different language options to choose from.
Speaker 3: That's that's so cool.
Speaker 4: Yeah, go check it out if you're into it.
Speaker 2: I A lot of these movies that they're gonna be
Speaker 2: talking about are not available in HD in the States,
Speaker 2: so that's something that a lot of people are not
Speaker 2: gonna love. But yeah, you can get this an English, French, Italian,
Speaker 2: or German. So hey really support him. Sense and Sensibility
Speaker 2: from nineteen ninety five is getting a four K release
Speaker 2: on August nineteenth. Now, this is not technically the first
Speaker 2: four K release because it was released previously in that
Speaker 2: elusive Columbia Classics Volume one from Sony that came out.
Speaker 2: It has been locked in that box since then, very
Speaker 2: out of print, very pricey, and now it's available, making
Speaker 2: a lot of people wonder will we finally be able
Speaker 2: to get a standalone version of Jerry McGuire possibly who
Speaker 2: knows Sense and sensibility classic nineties like Little Women type flick.
Speaker 4: How do you feel about this? Have you seen this one?
Speaker 3: I am not, actually, but it's like, I don't know.
Speaker 3: I'm a little bit of a sucker for a good,
Speaker 3: like you know, nineties period piece movie, So I don't know.
Speaker 3: I'm definitely open to checking it out.
Speaker 2: I remember Emma Thompson being great in this, but I've
Speaker 2: not seen this in a very very long time.
Speaker 4: I don't know, great cast.
Speaker 2: I should probably see this again for sure, uh Bozart's
Speaker 2: ghost as I have a thing for Emma Thompson and
Speaker 2: I still have to put my finger on whye. I mean,
Speaker 2: it's the accident, let's be honest, but well, she's beautiful.
Speaker 4: Let me look at it. Why did that skip one?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 4: Because it's pretty skippable.
Speaker 2: Coming soon on four K from Warner Brothers is the
Speaker 2: Accountant to This is the die hard sequel to the
Speaker 2: Accountant that everybody was after, starring John Bernthal and Ben Affleck. Unfortunately,
Speaker 2: there is literally nothing else on this disc except for
Speaker 2: the film, which in twenty twenty five.
Speaker 4: That is rough No, as far as I can tell,
Speaker 4: not even a trailer, no featurette nothing. Yeah. I enjoyed
Speaker 4: the first movie, never saw it. Yeah, here we go.
Speaker 2: Next up, Classic Flicks. We got some updates from them.
Speaker 2: The first is on September twenty third. They're putting up
Speaker 2: a DVD collection of the Unexpected the complete series, but
Speaker 2: not quite it's the Complete Series Volume one. This is
Speaker 2: coming as part of their rare television line. If you
Speaker 2: want to finish this set up, they will be putting
Speaker 2: out more volumes of it eventually. Of course, this is
Speaker 2: from nineteen fifty two. This is an anthology show, has
Speaker 2: all kinds of guests on it that you'll probably recognize.
Speaker 4: Oh thanks John.
Speaker 2: Since Insensibility was locked into Columbia Classics volume two, not
Speaker 2: the first one, I apologize I misspoke there.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Classic Flix does some great stuff and they certainly do
Speaker 2: not get enough attention. So hopefully people are paying attention now.
Speaker 2: But if you're not, they've got some other announcements. They
Speaker 2: are putting out ten Laurel and Hardy feature films over
Speaker 2: the next few years. These are all gonna be coming
Speaker 2: on Blu Ray and they are part of us. Pack
Speaker 2: Up Your Trouble, Sons of the Desert, The Bohemian Girl,
Speaker 2: Our Relations Way out West, Swiss Miss Blockheads, A Trumpet, Oxford,
Speaker 2: and SAPs at Sea. All ten of these will becoming
Speaker 2: as double feature Blu Ray releases, not like a box
Speaker 2: set or anything like that, and it's gonna take some time.
Speaker 2: They're still restoring them and all that. They just wanted
Speaker 2: everybody to know, Hey, these are coming. Nine out of
Speaker 2: the ten will have fresh scans and be restored by
Speaker 2: Classic Flicks themselves. Troubles is the exception here, as that
Speaker 2: had already been licensed from the UCLA Film and Television Archive.
Speaker 2: They already restored that, so it's ready to go. There
Speaker 2: is some upcoming announcements to The next announced release was
Speaker 2: supposed to be the TV series Lock Up the Complete Series,
Speaker 2: Volume one, but they pushed it back because they found
Speaker 2: a new source for the thirty five millimeters materials, so
Speaker 2: they're gonna be doing that better than they had planned originally.
Speaker 2: And then after the Unexpected, which we just talked about,
Speaker 2: a moment ago, they are going to be putting out
Speaker 2: Laurel and Hardy, the Restored Features Volume one, The Little Rascals,
Speaker 2: the Restored Silence Volume two, which you can see the
Speaker 2: cover art on the screen there right now, and then
Speaker 2: probably lock up the complete series of volume one. They
Speaker 2: also still have TV series Angel Volume two and three upcoming,
Speaker 2: as well as Mickey maguire Silence, More Hoplong, two unannounced
Speaker 2: TV shows and more classic flicks. Doing a lot of
Speaker 2: stuff for old films which is just so great m
Speaker 2: H and TV too.
Speaker 3: I Mean, that's like something that I feel like kind
Speaker 3: of gets forgotten about sometimes as older TV and the
Speaker 3: I'm always so heartened by seeing people like take a
Speaker 3: lot of love and care to like old fifties TV
Speaker 3: shows that would otherwise just disappear.
Speaker 2: So yeah, and literally disappear, like many of these will
Speaker 2: be literally thrown in the trash or lost in a
Speaker 2: fire or oh no, they all deteriorated and.
Speaker 4: Simply don't exist anymore.
Speaker 2: Next up, I put up a new interview on the
Speaker 2: channel this week with Beth Morris, who does all of
Speaker 2: the standard art for Deaf Crocodile, like the sleeve art.
Speaker 2: She's an incredible artist got to talk about some deeper
Speaker 2: things like AI of course, and then her process behind these,
Speaker 2: the software she uses, how she literally got started just
Speaker 2: through a random contest and was able to speak to
Speaker 2: Peter Strickland on the phone. Amazing, what an incredible story.
Speaker 2: Go give that a watch if you're into it. She's
Speaker 2: done all kinds of physical media releases.
Speaker 4: I hope you enjoy that.
Speaker 2: And then that's you. And then we got a couple
Speaker 2: other things. Cape Light who is this really hard to
Speaker 2: pin down boutique label. They put out stuff primarily in Germany,
Speaker 2: but they release all over the world. They are doing
Speaker 2: their one title a day announcements for a week and
Speaker 2: we've got six of those so far, and a couple
Speaker 2: of these were exciting enough that I wanted to mention them,
Speaker 2: so double impact. The Van Dam from ninety one is
Speaker 2: getting a four K release in a media book in
Speaker 2: the last quarter of twenty twenty five. The brand new
Speaker 2: Toxic Avenger film is getting a media book in the
Speaker 2: beginning of twenty twenty six. Thunderbolt and Lightfoot from seventy
Speaker 2: four getting a four K media book with new artwork,
Speaker 2: also as available as an upgrade if you got their
Speaker 2: Blu Ray Media book Children of the Corn getting a
Speaker 2: four K media book from them that will be coming
Speaker 2: with Dolby Vision. Flow from last year getting a four
Speaker 2: K media book with a big forty eight page booklet.
Speaker 2: It's gonna have some concept drawings in there as well.
Speaker 2: The one that's exciting to me though, nineteen sixty one's
Speaker 2: West Side Story getting a four K media book coming
Speaker 2: this Christmas with Dolby Vision. If they don't release this
Speaker 2: in the US, I really hope somebody else does soon.
Speaker 2: I would love to see this get like some big acclaim.
Speaker 2: It'll probably be the Studio I gotta be honest, because
Speaker 2: it's still semi big here, but I would love somebody
Speaker 2: like Criterion to put this out, to give it.
Speaker 4: Just that cachet.
Speaker 2: This is incredible, as somebody that was so stoked about
Speaker 2: a year and a half ago to I still can't
Speaker 2: even believe I can say this sentence. But Richard Bamer,
Speaker 2: who played Tony in West Side Story, has been on
Speaker 2: the show and to be able to interview him was
Speaker 2: one of the peak moments of my life. I mean,
Speaker 2: somebody that worked with David Lynch closely multiple times was
Speaker 2: in fucking West Side Story. In nineteen sixty one that
Speaker 2: was on the forefront of like resistant civil rights documentaries.
Speaker 2: He is just an absolute inspiration and god, I hope
Speaker 2: they do this right.
Speaker 3: Yeah, agreed. This was when I saw this announcement on
Speaker 3: your page on your feed, I was so goddamn excited,
Speaker 3: like it deserves the best release.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 2: There's something about this where it gets overlooked for sure,
Speaker 2: and it doesn't need to be. Craig is asking, is
Speaker 2: there a Thunderbolt night Foot four K in the US? Yes,
Speaker 2: from your favorite company, Keno Lber. They did that in
Speaker 2: twenty twenty three. You can check that out now. Then
Speaker 2: I think this is our last. Yeah, this is our
Speaker 2: last announcement for the week September twenty third. We're getting
Speaker 2: the next release from Wellgo, which we've not had something
Speaker 2: from them. Usually they're putting stuff out like at least
Speaker 2: every other week, but it's been a bit. It seems
Speaker 2: like they're putting out ghost Killer from twenty twenty four
Speaker 2: in a four K release and a Blu Ray release
Speaker 2: in the US. This will Adobe Atmos on it and
Speaker 2: it will have a making a featurette, an original trailer,
Speaker 2: and again for those of you unfamiliar with Welgo. They
Speaker 2: just put out a bunch of really great, really fun
Speaker 2: Asian films constantly, and nobody else would release most of these,
Speaker 2: So kudos to Welgo to keep that going. All right,
Speaker 2: that was it. As reminder for what's coming out next week.
Speaker 2: Let me go ahead and share this other tab. Here
Speaker 2: is Brazil four K from Criterion, when Eve Alerks four
Speaker 2: K coming from RLG, but reminder that's also coming from
Speaker 2: second site. Eventually shout factory with bring me the Head
Speaker 2: of Alfredo Garcia four K, Monkey Shines four K, Mishima
Speaker 2: Life in Four Chapters four K from Criterion, The Freaky
Speaker 2: Tales four K VHS retro from lines Gate Limited, already shipping.
Speaker 2: I've got it eight inches away from me here swimming
Speaker 2: to Cambodia getting its retail release from Cinematograph House of
Speaker 2: the Devil Steel Book from Dark Sky Films.
Speaker 4: I believe on that one. I may be wrong.
Speaker 2: I don't remember everything leaving Las Vegas. Life Stinks, The
Speaker 2: Charge of the Light Brigade, great Balls of Fire, Rush Malice,
Speaker 2: A Midsummer Nights Stream, and Roller Boogie, all coming from
Speaker 2: the Best.
Speaker 4: Is it the wrong week? Oh?
Speaker 2: That's June. Hello, I'm sorry, let's go to July. Thanks Chris.
Speaker 2: I hate pop up. It's some blu ray dot com.
Speaker 2: So next week, let's actually talk about the real titles.
Speaker 2: The Big Heat four K from Criterion, Warfare, four K
Speaker 2: from A twenty four Alexander Revisited, four K from Shout,
Speaker 2: Primary Colors, four K from Shout. Death of a Unicorn
Speaker 2: four K from A twenty four. Did you see Death
Speaker 2: of a Unicorn?
Speaker 3: I missed it.
Speaker 2: It looks intriguing, and then it got terrible reviews, and
Speaker 2: I still want to see it.
Speaker 3: But I don't know. I'll check it out when it
Speaker 3: hits Max.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's about how I'm feeling. Tails from the Void.
Speaker 2: This is a screen box release that's supposed to be
Speaker 2: pretty damn good. Actually, I'm very curious about that one. God,
Speaker 2: this Widow release definitely shown up on the screen a
Speaker 2: little too big. Lost Country from Altered Innocence coming out
Speaker 2: next week. Not a ton next week, but again a reminder,
Speaker 2: just gonna go through here real quick, not read them
Speaker 2: out loud, but July is a very heavy month for releases.
Speaker 2: There is so much coming out in the next couple months.
Speaker 2: Good luck for everybody that is after so many of
Speaker 2: these because my goodness, we got a lot to talk about.
Speaker 4: But that's it. We finally get to the film discussion
Speaker 4: portion of this.
Speaker 3: Man. Uh.
Speaker 2: First off, adult, well, I shouldn't say it like that
Speaker 2: animation for grown ups, andreas you have you always appreciated these.
Speaker 3: I think maybe I don't know. I think when I
Speaker 3: was younger, I found it kind of scary, like what like,
Speaker 3: cause I think your mind is so constructed in a
Speaker 3: way to kind of expect animated films to be safe
Speaker 3: when you're a kid, and so when you stumble across
Speaker 3: something like I remember seeing the like, uh, the Pearl
Speaker 3: Jam video for Do the Evolution as a kid and
Speaker 3: just being feeling like, feel like I was gonna have
Speaker 3: a heart attack, like and so I think as I
Speaker 3: grew up, I kind of felt and the more and
Speaker 3: more that I was kind of like introduced to like,
Speaker 3: you know, anime and just you know, more off the
Speaker 3: beaten Path animated films that like, I don't know, I
Speaker 3: feel like at a point I just started really appreciating that, like, oh,
Speaker 3: I like that I can still keep up with this
Speaker 3: medium that I like, but at least it's still it's
Speaker 3: speaking to me as I'm maturing that not being said,
Speaker 3: I don't love animated movies for kids too, but I
Speaker 3: just I think that, like there is something that's been
Speaker 3: very nice about, you know, there being animated movies for adults.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I yeah, totally get that, absolutely feel most of
Speaker 2: that the same. I was trying to think of this earlier, like,
Speaker 2: what was the first animated movie for grown ups that
Speaker 2: I saw it?
Speaker 4: I couldn't remember. If it was like maybe The Plague
Speaker 4: Dogs something like that. I don't know.
Speaker 2: There's so many of these that I have loved throughout
Speaker 2: the years, but there's also so many of these that
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 4: It feels like.
Speaker 2: There was a long like middle period where many of
Speaker 2: these were just very hard to see. You know, some
Speaker 2: of them there was like no materials or honestly that
Speaker 2: there was probably like very little demand.
Speaker 4: For many of these.
Speaker 2: But you know, there was always the classics like Watership
Speaker 2: Down was always available to see. Fact, she wasn't quite
Speaker 2: always available, but at least one or two of them
Speaker 2: was pretty much always there. But man, once you get
Speaker 2: past those surface level ones, there is this this world
Speaker 2: of just amazing things all over that you can catch.
Speaker 2: I'm very excited to check out your list tonight. So
Speaker 2: as we get into this, did you did you have
Speaker 2: like rules for yourself anything?
Speaker 4: But when deciding you're five?
Speaker 3: Uh no, I think it was like I because there
Speaker 3: were some that I definitely went to that I was like, oh,
Speaker 3: that feels like it would fit. But it was honestly,
Speaker 3: I avoided movies that were like technically meant for kids
Speaker 3: but still scared me, right, I avoided those, But so yeah,
Speaker 3: that was really it. Like it was like and because
Speaker 3: the thing is, like, there are some here that I
Speaker 3: feel like are meant for maybe not adults, but like
Speaker 3: for not for kids that aren't right, Yeah, like but
Speaker 3: like don't necessarily feel as sort of like dangerous as
Speaker 3: some of right, some of it does. But so yeah,
Speaker 3: that was basically it, as long as it was like
Speaker 3: just not something deliberately geared towards children.
Speaker 2: I uh, you know, I was trying to put down
Speaker 2: at first five favorites, which I love all five of these,
Speaker 2: and these are probably pretty high still. But the big
Speaker 2: surprise for me is that ill while whittling down the list,
Speaker 2: this is a very like mainstream list for me mine too.
Speaker 2: I really expected it to not be because this this
Speaker 2: world is so like obscure when you get to some
Speaker 2: of the greatest stuff, and I bet you know, like
Speaker 2: we were talking about this deaf crocodile.
Speaker 4: Released a tragedy.
Speaker 2: Man watching through this again, it will probably start to
Speaker 2: creep up into this list because it's incredible and it's
Speaker 2: certainly not made for kids. But there's really not many
Speaker 2: of these that I didn't like grow up with watch
Speaker 2: a whole lot. There's really only one on here that
Speaker 2: is fairly oh sorry, two and it happened to be
Speaker 2: the top two for me that are fairly like new ish,
Speaker 2: like last five years sort of discoveries, and I.
Speaker 4: One of these. Maybe you could say it was made
Speaker 4: for kids, but even then it's so different.
Speaker 2: Than the other stuff. At that time, I don't know
Speaker 2: that it was. So let's get started. We're gonna we're
Speaker 2: gonna talk about all kinds of details. We're gonna we're
Speaker 2: gonna talk about other titles that are related to these.
Speaker 2: I'm sure you got some honorable mentions to bring up.
Speaker 2: Let's hear your number five.
Speaker 3: So my first one is a little bit of a
Speaker 3: soft landing. It's easing into it because it's not too crazy,
Speaker 3: but it's just one of my favorite movies. So it's
Speaker 3: and it might be kind of a strange one, but
Speaker 3: it's Interstellar five five five five, the visual daft punk
Speaker 3: album or for their for their album Discovery, and it
Speaker 3: is so I'm sure that like anyone who grew up
Speaker 3: in the early two thousands when that album came out
Speaker 3: remember as the famous like anime throwback music videos they
Speaker 3: did for the tracks on that album, but they actually
Speaker 3: made those into a feature length movie that's basically just
Speaker 3: the track from the album, and it tells this visual
Speaker 3: story and it's just, in my book, one of the
Speaker 3: most just like poetic animated movies I've ever seen. Like
Speaker 3: there's no dialogue outside of the music, Like the only
Speaker 3: words in it are the is the music being spoken.
Speaker 3: But it is just such a lovely story and like
Speaker 3: very engrossing about an alien band that gets kidnapped and
Speaker 3: shuttled off to Earth and then forced to make, you know,
Speaker 3: music that they don't want to make, Like there's just again.
Speaker 3: And I struggle because it's not like geared towards it's
Speaker 3: not like a hardcore like anything, Like I could show
Speaker 3: this to, you know, a ten year old and it
Speaker 3: would be fine, But like it's it's still to me
Speaker 3: is something that was just I cherish it so much
Speaker 3: and I actually revisited it, like, you know, like a
Speaker 3: month ago, and I hadn't seen it in since the
Speaker 3: you know, when it originally came out, and I was
Speaker 3: like moved by it and like it just I don't know,
Speaker 3: I think it's just such a beautiful piece of art
Speaker 3: in the fact that, like I feel like, so much
Speaker 3: stuff especially from that in that late nineties early two
Speaker 3: thousands that was American stuff, or I guess not American,
Speaker 3: it was French, but like Western stuff that was trying
Speaker 3: to recreate anime style fell a little flat. And I
Speaker 3: just love that they went to Japan and found all
Speaker 3: these like you know, manga masters to work on the art,
Speaker 3: all these you know, it was directed. I can't remember
Speaker 3: what else the director had done, but it was a
Speaker 3: Japanese director who actually did directed the movie. And it
Speaker 3: looks and feels like a seventies animated like Japanese animated movie,
Speaker 3: and I will always just love that movie.
Speaker 2: This is a deep cut. It was a really great choice.
Speaker 2: I believe I watched this.
Speaker 4: God like right around because what year did this come out?
Speaker 4: This three Okay, so yeah, it was somewhere around there.
Speaker 4: I was.
Speaker 2: This was perfect point for me because I was sixteen
Speaker 2: when it was released and discovering music in a way.
Speaker 4: That was transcendent at the time.
Speaker 2: And I watched this once and I've not watched it
Speaker 2: since then, and I still vividly remember at least a
Speaker 2: few of these scenes that were in this.
Speaker 4: I should absolutely see this.
Speaker 3: It's it's And the thing is, it's not the easiest
Speaker 3: to find too. There's there's no Blu ray release in
Speaker 3: the States there. The DVD, I believe, is long out
Speaker 3: of print. I know there was a big four K
Speaker 3: restoration that they played in theaters recently, but I know
Speaker 3: there was some controversy in terms of like the elements
Speaker 3: that they were able to get for it to actually restore.
Speaker 3: So it's not I don't know. But I also feel
Speaker 3: like the lo finess of it kind of adds to
Speaker 3: the seventies anime charm. So it's I'm sure it exists
Speaker 3: somewhere on YouTube or or something, or you can find
Speaker 3: a used copy somewhere, but I just adore this movie.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I I don't know.
Speaker 2: Throughout the years, there have been a lot of bands
Speaker 2: that have tried to do the whole visual album thing,
Speaker 2: and quite often for me, they.
Speaker 4: Don't work all that well.
Speaker 2: A couple of them have been watchable and interesting or
Speaker 2: compelling at least, but I don't know. Very few things
Speaker 2: have like stuck with me, like a couple of scenes
Speaker 2: from this did. But it has been ages since I've
Speaker 2: seen this, and now, you know, thinking about it, I
Speaker 2: think the only band that has done something that maybe
Speaker 2: made me feel like this. And this is a weird
Speaker 2: pool because it's not animated and it's not even a
Speaker 2: visual album. But I love the band twenty one Pilots,
Speaker 2: and throughout their history, all of their music videos have
Speaker 2: told a continuous story. And yeah, when you go deep
Speaker 2: into the lore from like we're going on like fourteen
Speaker 2: years of albums or something like that, they all have
Speaker 2: connected so much so that like one part of a
Speaker 2: music video will end and then they'll go record an
Speaker 2: album and show up eighteen months later, and then next
Speaker 2: music video will basically pick up where that was, and
Speaker 2: now they're in like this weird sci fi world telling
Speaker 2: the story that was a very different thing a handful
Speaker 2: of years ago. And it's it's really interesting when you
Speaker 2: dive into the lower But yeah, when you get a
Speaker 2: full package like this from a band that at the
Speaker 2: time massive, i mean, growing to what they were going
Speaker 2: to be, you know, just another ten years after this
Speaker 2: and taking the world by storm, absolutely crazy. Oh yeah,
Speaker 2: absolutely great. Great example there, Colton Cohedon, Cambria. Everything is related.
Speaker 2: I mean it's all of comic books. So great stuff.
Speaker 2: Incredible band love Cohede. Dude, great choice, really nice, really
Speaker 2: nice pool For the first one, I'll look at that.
Speaker 2: Ben found the DVD at the library. Hell, you're gonna
Speaker 2: go watch it. That's incredible. Yeah, all right, So my
Speaker 2: my first one, I'm gonna talk about my number five here.
Speaker 2: Again like a very obvious pick, not necessarily a softball,
Speaker 2: because this is a pretty it's a it's leading into
Speaker 2: that R rating is heavy metal.
Speaker 4: I yeah, this had to be on my list.
Speaker 2: This was like one of the first things that I went, Oh,
Speaker 2: animation for adults, ya, heavy metal.
Speaker 4: So this again they knew they had an R.
Speaker 2: So it leans into the blood, the nudity, the let's
Speaker 2: offend people.
Speaker 4: But it is evocative.
Speaker 2: It is a really great set of just like timeless
Speaker 2: pieces of animation that you will.
Speaker 4: Probably never forget.
Speaker 2: And it is especially if you watch it at just
Speaker 2: the right point in your life, this will be your
Speaker 2: personality for.
Speaker 4: A few weeks and weeks.
Speaker 3: See, I think I saw it. I saw it way
Speaker 3: too young, because this was one of those movies that
Speaker 3: when I saw it, I was like, this is scary,
Speaker 3: this is like I didn't I felt like I was
Speaker 3: I was definitely watching something I shouldn't have been watching. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's the only way to watch heavy
Speaker 2: Metal actually is to watch it at like eleven because
Speaker 2: your brother's friend showed you or something. Yeah, is great
Speaker 2: if you haven't seen it. There's a really really great
Speaker 2: four K out there.
Speaker 4: Go check it out. It's a wonderful piece of animation.
Speaker 3: All right, And so I'll go to my next one.
Speaker 3: It's actually order been brought up. You already mentioned it,
Speaker 3: and so I feel like from here on out, I
Speaker 3: feel like mine are kind of pretty obvious. But uh
Speaker 3: so it's interesting because I'm not going with Watership Down
Speaker 3: because in my mind, Watership Down is something like in
Speaker 3: a weird British fucked up way. I feel like Watership
Speaker 3: Down was meant for kids. Yeah, I remember seeing Watership Down.
Speaker 3: They showed it to me in school. Like when I
Speaker 3: was in middle school, and so to me, that always
Speaker 3: felt like it was still it was. I mean, it's
Speaker 3: way too fucked up for kids, but I still feel
Speaker 3: like it was meant for kids. So I went with
Speaker 3: Plague Dogs.
Speaker 2: Yea, yeah, I mean, I'm so random that I brought
Speaker 2: that up, Like most of yeah, yeah, never seen plague dogs.
Speaker 3: That I fucking love Plague Dogs. It's so for anyone
Speaker 3: who doesn't know. It's the other movie directed by Martin
Speaker 3: Rosen who did Watership Down, and it's adapted from a
Speaker 3: Richard Adams who wrote Watership Down book. And this is
Speaker 3: the story of two dogs who escape a you know,
Speaker 3: a testing lab who may be carrying a disease and
Speaker 3: the man hunt or the dog hunt that goes on
Speaker 3: across the UK for them. It is one of the
Speaker 3: bleakest fucking movies I've ever seen in my life.
Speaker 4: It is.
Speaker 3: And I'm I'm like a dog lover, and like, so
Speaker 3: watching dogs go through what they go through in this
Speaker 3: movie is so hard. Like if you're the kind of
Speaker 3: person who cannot handle a dog dying in a movie,
Speaker 3: this movie is going to be hell for you. But
Speaker 3: that being said, it's still so like just beautifully told,
Speaker 3: so maturely told, just unflinching about like the suffering that
Speaker 3: animals go through, but like the dignity that animals have
Speaker 3: in their suffering, and just and just one of the
Speaker 3: most enigmatic and just earth shattering endings to a film
Speaker 3: I've ever seen in my life. Like I remember watching
Speaker 3: that movie the first time and it ending and just
Speaker 3: it ending the way it ends, and just feeling like
Speaker 3: the ground had opened up beneath me. Just I was so.
Speaker 4: Well.
Speaker 3: I mean, like I guess in a way I didn't
Speaker 3: know how to feel because of what the ending is,
Speaker 3: but like it's still it shook me so badly that
Speaker 3: I still carry that like with me when I think
Speaker 3: about that movie. And so, yeah, Plague Dogs is great.
Speaker 3: There's a really great shout put out the Blu Ray
Speaker 3: for that. I was so happy because like before that,
Speaker 3: I was rocking this, like this bootleg I bought when
Speaker 3: I was in college of it just because it was hard.
Speaker 3: But like, so yeah, Plague Dog's great. It's it's a
Speaker 3: rough one, but it is it is great.
Speaker 2: I funny enough, I was trying not to mention too
Speaker 2: many titles because I don't normally like giving away what
Speaker 2: somebody might answer, and I was like, oh, yeah, he's
Speaker 2: definitely not gonna bring up plague dogs. But nobody ever
Speaker 2: has the reverence for plague dogs that I do.
Speaker 4: I love that movie and this. I don't know.
Speaker 2: There's something about this animation style that the emotional aspects
Speaker 2: of these two films really hit you, because the animation
Speaker 2: style feels so safe, and so you're like, oh, it's
Speaker 2: a cuddly dog. Well, let's let's cuddle the pillow as
Speaker 2: you cry later it is such a compelling story. And again,
Speaker 2: as somebody that loves animals and like, I get pissed
Speaker 2: off watching somebody mistreated animal, this movie is probably where
Speaker 2: a lot of that came from. Just understanding the life
Speaker 2: that is before me was super important. And yeah, this
Speaker 2: is a masterpiece that happened to not make my list
Speaker 2: because I had to have this next one on, which
Speaker 2: is going to sound ridiculous after praising that one so much.
Speaker 2: This is the one that this is probably the closest
Speaker 2: to being made for kids, but at the time, this
Speaker 2: is a little like higher brow than we expected to
Speaker 2: see in the animated series, and so I had to
Speaker 2: go with what I think is the best Batman movie.
Speaker 2: Of all time Batman Mask of the Phantasm. I mean
Speaker 2: it shows blood. It's a pretty like dangerous story. There's
Speaker 2: stuff that happened in this movie that is still compelling,
Speaker 2: funny enough. Didn't know that we were gonna be talking
Speaker 2: about adult animation until earlier this week. I watched this
Speaker 2: last week just how it happened to be lucky, showed
Speaker 2: my kids for the first time. This movie still holds
Speaker 2: up as quite possibly the best Batman story ever told
Speaker 2: in a film.
Speaker 4: I still can't believe that.
Speaker 2: The people making the animated series were told, we're gonna
Speaker 2: be taking this theatrical, We're gonna do this the right way.
Speaker 2: By the way, you only have like ten months to
Speaker 2: get this done, insane and all they did was perfection.
Speaker 2: Somehow they took what they were doing on such a
Speaker 2: small scale and said, let's do it the right way
Speaker 2: and busted ass to pull it out. This movie is astonishing.
Speaker 2: Mark Hamill gives one of his greatest performances. Some really
Speaker 2: really interesting, uh just random things that they do in
Speaker 2: the story, Like Stacy Keach plays a really great voice
Speaker 2: role in this. Kevin Conroy is Batman, he always will be.
Speaker 4: Uh, this is the Batman masterpiece, funny enough. The other
Speaker 4: Batman animated movie, I.
Speaker 2: Will say, well, there's many, but uh, the the other
Speaker 2: like very mainstream popular one, the Lego Batman movie also
Speaker 2: very great, but Batman Mask of the Phantasm is probably
Speaker 2: the best Batman movie literally ever made.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean that's hard to argue. It is. It
Speaker 3: is a The fact that they were able to take
Speaker 3: like what was so special about the animated series and
Speaker 3: translate that into a feature film is unbelievable. Like I
Speaker 3: yeah that, I'm uh, that's a good one. That's a
Speaker 3: really good one. And I'll and it counts. It's it
Speaker 3: counts good. I mean.
Speaker 2: The big thing is like there's they're shooting happening and
Speaker 2: there's actual blood, which in the animated series out to
Speaker 2: this point, I don't think they had shown any blood
Speaker 2: in the series. So yeah, this this took it up
Speaker 2: a couple of notches.
Speaker 3: Yeah, all right. So my number three, I don't know,
Speaker 3: So it is the it's Urusayatsuda the movie two Beautiful Dreamer,
Speaker 3: And I don't know how if anyone is familiar with
Speaker 3: the series Usayatsuda, it was a it was an anime
Speaker 3: in uh the I believe the late seventies or early eighties,
Speaker 3: and uh, it's so and it was. It was created
Speaker 3: by it was based on a manga by Ramiko Takahashi,
Speaker 3: who did like Ron the One Half Masonic Cuckoo, just
Speaker 3: one of the all time great comic book writers. But
Speaker 3: so the premise of the show is very lighthearted, very
Speaker 3: high jinky. It's about a guy who accidentally proposes to
Speaker 3: the daughter of an invading alien warlord and the daughter
Speaker 3: falls in love with him, and it's just very silly
Speaker 3: and fun. Is the is the alien woman that I
Speaker 3: think some people may be more familiar with. But anyway,
Speaker 3: so they made the series and it's very fun. And
Speaker 3: then they did one movie that was very a very
Speaker 3: good expansion of the series. And then they made this
Speaker 3: second fucking movie called Beautiful Dreamer that is one of
Speaker 3: the most haunting films I've ever seen in my life.
Speaker 3: It is, I mean so it's it's directed by amro Oshi,
Speaker 3: who did Ghost in the Shell, and.
Speaker 4: It is.
Speaker 3: They took they it's like that thing that people say
Speaker 3: where it's like they didn't need to go that hard
Speaker 3: because they're adapting a very lighthearted anime. But then for
Speaker 3: the second film, it is just this beautiful examination of
Speaker 3: dreaming and the like the fear of the like the
Speaker 3: world slowly ending, and the sort of just anxieties that
Speaker 3: it taps into and plays around with like liminal spaces
Speaker 3: in a way that like was was forty years ahead
Speaker 3: of the game. And like it's funny because I know
Speaker 3: that a lot of people compare Sotushi cons Paprika, which
Speaker 3: I fucking love to, like Inception and stuff like that.
Speaker 3: Like I think Inception also owes a lot to Beautiful
Speaker 3: Dreamer because it's just it is just this out of
Speaker 3: nowhere movie that is just one of the like there
Speaker 3: is shit in this movie that's not like jump out
Speaker 3: of the of your seat like scary, but it haunts me,
Speaker 3: like years down the line. It haunts me, like the
Speaker 3: concepts that it plays with in terms of dreams and
Speaker 3: loss and love. And again it is based on a
Speaker 3: high jinky, silly Japanese series that they just went super
Speaker 3: hard for the second movie. And there's actually a really
Speaker 3: great blue ray of this out from Discothech. So I
Speaker 3: saw this movie out of context, never having seen the series,
Speaker 3: and I loved it, and I've subsequently seen the series
Speaker 3: and I love the series. But the movie itself is
Speaker 3: a masterpiece.
Speaker 4: I know nothing about this, but that sounds incredible. Yeah. Wow, Uh,
Speaker 4: I don't know what to say. I am.
Speaker 2: I am sorely lacking on the anime that I've seen,
Speaker 2: which is wild. I mean, I don't know how I've
Speaker 2: not just sat down and watched them all. The hard part,
Speaker 2: I think for me is watching too many of them
Speaker 2: back to back. They start to get very saey and
Speaker 2: I want to allow them to like breathe and have
Speaker 2: their time and make an impact.
Speaker 4: But then I just don't make time for them because
Speaker 4: there's so many other great things to watch and I
Speaker 4: probably should. I know that I would love them it tonically, I.
Speaker 3: Mean, like like Urusaiyatsura in specifically is like it's like
Speaker 3: four hundred episodes or something like that.
Speaker 4: Like it's just so daunting like.
Speaker 3: To get into it and like and they're great, but
Speaker 3: it's just it's a commitment, and so yeah, I get it.
Speaker 2: My wife and I are watching Veep right now, which
Speaker 2: is eight seasons. I think we've been watching that for
Speaker 2: I don't know, like nine months. It's it's very difficul
Speaker 2: and four hundred episodes makes me want to put a
Speaker 2: bullet in my mouth number three. I wanted to choose
Speaker 2: a stop motion title here, and I have always loved
Speaker 2: stop motion stuff. It is a magical medium that I
Speaker 2: first fell in love with some of the random ass
Speaker 2: like Harry House and scenes of the Skeletons is probably
Speaker 2: the first thing I ever saw, and I mean that
Speaker 2: led to moments like music venues used to play the
Speaker 2: skeleton scenes before bands played, and I.
Speaker 4: Was like, oh, I saw the Spy.
Speaker 2: But I was trying to think of what is the
Speaker 2: best thing to share here, and just going back to
Speaker 2: the moment that I saw this movie, I really remembered
Speaker 2: last week how I leaned into just absolutely shitting on
Speaker 2: somebody that is doing stuff like this. And I wanted
Speaker 2: to talk about Wes Anderson's fantastic mister fun So he's
Speaker 2: not a bad director. I love some of his stuff.
Speaker 4: So I'm gonna highlight fantastic mister Fox here because this
Speaker 4: movie got this. This movie is special.
Speaker 2: I watched this movie I don't know thirty times in
Speaker 2: a span of like four months, probably because this I
Speaker 2: don't like. Scenes in this movie sparkle in a weird way.
Speaker 2: It is beautifully done. The voice working this is incredible.
Speaker 2: The humor is spot on. Wes Anderson had not tripped
Speaker 2: and fallen into that of his own style yet and
Speaker 2: so it's well done in a way where he's not
Speaker 2: directing from in his own ass. And I love that,
Speaker 2: and the films that he made before this I mostly
Speaker 2: love too, But this thing, I was so not ready
Speaker 2: for him to have a masterpiece of a stop motion film.
Speaker 2: And again, just something about this movie and the main
Speaker 2: fox is incredible. I think that this is probably the
Speaker 2: last of his that I was blown away by. I
Speaker 2: don't know, the fact that he's made so many friends
Speaker 2: that every cast is just stupidly stacked. It really helps
Speaker 2: in this one specifically, because it's just memorable voices told
Speaker 2: through characters that you can envision other things while you
Speaker 2: watch this glorious representation of them on the screen, and
Speaker 2: it just turns into magic somehow. Love the story in
Speaker 2: this movie.
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 2: Making stop motion is already difficult, Yeah, pulling this off
Speaker 2: should not literally be possible, right.
Speaker 3: And then, and and just the commitment to doing that
Speaker 3: movie the way that he did it, the fact that
Speaker 3: like again it's it, it just feels so like a
Speaker 3: movie like that needs to feel tactile, Like it's that
Speaker 3: thing we were talking about early on where it's like
Speaker 3: one of the things that is so great about like
Speaker 3: when you're animating physical objects, whether it's paper or puppets,
Speaker 3: like just in that movie, you can you feel like
Speaker 3: you could just like reach out and touch that movie
Speaker 3: like it just it's so yeah, that's a that's a
Speaker 3: great one and like a weirdly like at times I'm
Speaker 3: like sad movie, like it's very poorly and fun, but
Speaker 3: like very like yeah, very profound moments like totally unexpectedly.
Speaker 3: So yeah, I love that one.
Speaker 2: I honestly that I haven't voiced it like that, but
Speaker 2: that might be what I'm missing in the newest Wes
Speaker 2: Anderson stuff, is I feel like it's just let's get
Speaker 2: the light and breezy jokes out and everything, so happy,
Speaker 2: go lucky, but like the Phoenician scheme didn't have anything
Speaker 2: that made me feel like the fantastic mister Foxy.
Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, And it's one of the and I'll say
Speaker 3: that like Wes Anderson was one of those directors who
Speaker 3: I grew up along with his stuff. Like when I
Speaker 3: was discovering how much I loved film, was right around
Speaker 3: the time Rushmore came out, and so like, I'm very
Speaker 3: attached to that, to those movies, and he has done
Speaker 3: some movies that I have really liked, but I do
Speaker 3: feel like there are some movies like I haven't I
Speaker 3: haven't seen the Phoenician Scheme, and like if I had known,
Speaker 3: you know, if i'd told gone back in time, told
Speaker 3: you know, eighteen year old Andreas, like, hey, there's a
Speaker 3: Wes Anderson movie coming out, and you're not gonna be
Speaker 3: that interested in seeing it, I would think I was crazy,
Speaker 3: and like, ny, I'll still give the movie a shot, absolutely,
Speaker 3: but it's just there's something about it that I'm just like,
Speaker 3: I don't need to make the trouble.
Speaker 4: I guess right. It's absolutely worth watching. Some of the
Speaker 4: performances are incredible, truly incredible, but it's just not a
Speaker 4: movie I'm gonna go home and go, oh my god,
Speaker 4: that was the best.
Speaker 3: Yeah, not like that, right, all right, So we'll go
Speaker 3: into my last two with my second one here, So
Speaker 3: I will warn you both of these are the most basic.
Speaker 3: These are just the you know, the really the most basic.
Speaker 3: You type in a Google search of give me five
Speaker 3: adult animated movies, these are going to be on that
Speaker 3: last anyway, So I am going to go with a Kira.
Speaker 3: I mean, a Kira is a Kira. And it's just
Speaker 3: one of the most confidently told stories I've ever seen
Speaker 3: in a movie. It is so dense with like the
Speaker 3: world it created with so there is not a second
Speaker 3: wasted of trying to kind of explain the world to
Speaker 3: but all you need to know all in the opening
Speaker 3: of the movie, a nuke went off in Tokyo and
Speaker 3: now we're here thirty years later, Like that's it. That's
Speaker 3: all you get. And like the way that it creates
Speaker 3: such a dense, rich world just through the way that
Speaker 3: like they animated it and just the kind of like
Speaker 3: minimal way that they you know, reveal the story as
Speaker 3: it goes along is just breathtaking. I think it is
Speaker 3: just I mean, like you you can go. There's a
Speaker 3: really great video on YouTube where a guy basically went
Speaker 3: through the big motorcycle chase frame by frame, and every
Speaker 3: single frame of it is just like a painting. It
Speaker 3: is just there is something interesting happening in every twenty
Speaker 3: fourth of a second in that movie. And I just
Speaker 3: think that like it is and then obviously it's beautiful
Speaker 3: and confidently told. But it's also just like a really
Speaker 3: fucking good sci fi movie that like is so like
Speaker 3: gross and but like you feel so attached to the characters,
Speaker 3: like I think. I think it particularly has just like
Speaker 3: an incredibly touching finale in a way that like, like
Speaker 3: I get like teary eye watching the end of A Kira.
Speaker 3: It's I don't know, it is just I just think
Speaker 3: it's like one of the most magnificent movies ever made.
Speaker 3: And uh yeah, I'm just I know it's a super
Speaker 3: basic choice, but I fucking love that movie.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: So, as as Gary just said in the chat, I
Speaker 2: literally just got a Kira. I've not seen it. Uh
Speaker 2: oh shit, I've never seen a Kira again. Way behind
Speaker 2: on anime stuff. It would be absolutely wild for me
Speaker 2: to have an anime pick here, because I've seen so
Speaker 2: few of them. This would probably be the one. This
Speaker 2: is the one that everybody says I have to see.
Speaker 2: So I've eventually relented. Just got it in what was
Speaker 2: that two weeks ago? Three weeks ago, and yeah, I
Speaker 2: need to make time for it.
Speaker 3: I'm super excited and at least this it's a movie.
Speaker 3: There's no show. It's just the one movie but I
Speaker 3: am super excited to hear see what you think about it,
Speaker 3: because it is just it is a fucking special movie.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's what I've heard.
Speaker 2: Pretty much everybody that's seen it has worshiped it, and
Speaker 2: any movie that's like that is what.
Speaker 4: I have to see for sure. I just said that it.
Speaker 2: Would be wild to have an anime, which is why
Speaker 2: I was teeing up for this amazing heel turn.
Speaker 4: My number two is Perfect Blue. This movie. What are
Speaker 4: you saying about Perfect Blue?
Speaker 2: I adore You know, if you saw my list of
Speaker 2: like the top ten twenty first century stuff that was
Speaker 2: going around this week for the New York Times, stuff
Speaker 2: of many like four of my movies are like these
Speaker 2: crime serial killer type films that are absolutely incredible, that
Speaker 2: are these almost procedural, just shocking type films. And Perfect
Speaker 2: Blue was that in the best ways for me. I also,
Speaker 2: you know, growing up with the music background and loving animation,
Speaker 2: this ticked like every box for films that it possibly
Speaker 2: could for me. The music was really well done, the
Speaker 2: animation is it's just stupendous. For when it came out,
Speaker 2: the voice acting in this people don't ever talk about that.
Speaker 2: For Perfect Blue.
Speaker 4: It is so good in this movie. Not to mention,
Speaker 4: this movie is just telling a gnarly ass story, Like
Speaker 4: if you just wrote this down, this would be a
Speaker 4: compelling frickin' book. And they do it in a way
Speaker 4: where you're just like glued to the screen the entire time,
Speaker 4: wondering what the hell they're gonna do next because it's
Speaker 4: so just batshit and what they're telling in this random
Speaker 4: like K pop animated type movie basically, and you're like, Okay,
Speaker 4: I mean, I'm here for the ride, but Jesus, this
Speaker 4: is rough. Love this movie. And what's great is there
Speaker 4: there's so.
Speaker 2: Many movies over the last handful of years, you know,
Speaker 2: even one of my favorite it's from I think it
Speaker 2: was last year or the year before Red Rooms. I
Speaker 2: think probably got a lot of inspiration from this film.
Speaker 2: Absolutely love Perfect Blue. It's literally one of the only
Speaker 2: animated or anime films that I've seen, and it made
Speaker 2: that much of an impact that I'm just like, Okay,
Speaker 2: maybe I'm done.
Speaker 3: I'd only else that's I mean, Stosha Khan is a
Speaker 3: fucking master like I I got when he I obviously
Speaker 3: it's a tragedy when anybody dies, but I remember when
Speaker 3: Satosha Khan died, like because he died so young, I
Speaker 3: was that was one where I just felt, you could
Speaker 3: you instantly felt the absence of that dude's work, like
Speaker 3: what could have been? What else he could have made?
Speaker 3: Because ever like Paprika is a fucking masterpiece, like took
Speaker 3: You God, just everything that he'd made was so goddamn
Speaker 3: wonderful and different and like so I just I I
Speaker 3: I adore Perfect Blue. That is a magnet movie.
Speaker 2: It is crazy, not just like how everything how much
Speaker 2: everything he did was a masterpiece that I haven't seen
Speaker 2: all the other ones, but like everybody says that, so
Speaker 2: I get it, but the fact that they are all
Speaker 2: so impactful from one director is like immediately legendary status.
Speaker 2: It is crazy how much he's been able to have
Speaker 2: that impact.
Speaker 4: Yeah love that.
Speaker 3: Yeah all right, So I will go with my number one,
Speaker 3: totally basic. I don't care it's my number one. It's
Speaker 3: Fritz the Cat. I so we I know, we touched
Speaker 3: on Bakshi and I when we we're talking about him,
Speaker 3: like I I didn't want to go into it too
Speaker 3: much just because I knew Fritz the Cat is going
Speaker 3: to be a number one.
Speaker 4: Yep.
Speaker 3: Bakshi is like my on my mount rushmore of idols.
Speaker 3: Like I just I in terms of like a filmmaker,
Speaker 3: I just that's a dude that like when I saw
Speaker 3: Fritz the Cat the first time, it was just so
Speaker 3: unbelievably earthshaking for me and just I because I mean,
Speaker 3: like we talk about these movies that like you see
Speaker 3: too Young or like you're you're kind of like WHOA,
Speaker 3: I didn't know cartoons could do that. Like I didn't
Speaker 3: know movies could do what Fritz the Cat did. Like
Speaker 3: it's just so pinetic and like the fact that this
Speaker 3: came out in this like the seven early seventies and
Speaker 3: like the like just appreciating the context in which that
Speaker 3: movie came out and like I but I mean, so
Speaker 3: aside from that, it's just I think an abrasive masterpiece
Speaker 3: and just sort of this really provocative movie that really
Speaker 3: rattled a lot of people and I think still does.
Speaker 3: And I also think that, like to me, Fritz the
Speaker 3: Cat also is just this insanely timeless movie in terms
Speaker 3: of like the political discussions that it's having, Like the
Speaker 3: fact that Bakshi was calling out like performative politics like
Speaker 3: in the seventies is just wild, and like the way
Speaker 3: that he was talking about the way that like privileged
Speaker 3: people will aestheticize and sort of like fetishize the suffering
Speaker 3: of people who are oppressed was just like I remember
Speaker 3: seeing this movie the first time and just being like, oh, no,
Speaker 3: one's even talking about that now, and like actually was
Speaker 3: doing it in the seventies, Like that's insane and it's
Speaker 3: just I don't know, like it's just it's just I
Speaker 3: know it's like a very problematic movie for some people,
Speaker 3: and which it's hard to argue. I mean, like, but
Speaker 3: it's just I think it is just one of the
Speaker 3: most beautiful pieces of art ever made. Like it's it's
Speaker 3: just bursting with like vision and imagination and like ba
Speaker 3: and Bakshi is one of those people like I just
Speaker 3: I could listen to that dude wax on about the
Speaker 3: industry and his process for like I remember, back in
Speaker 3: the day before podcasts were a thing, I used to
Speaker 3: have this like forty minute Bakshi NPR interview on my
Speaker 3: iPod shuffle that I would listen to on walks because
Speaker 3: it was just so I just love the way that
Speaker 3: he thinks about things. And I don't know, so Fritz
Speaker 3: the Cat, and so I could, I could honestly talk
Speaker 3: about you know, Coonskin and Hay good Looking and Heavy
Speaker 3: Traffic and just American Pop, just like all of his
Speaker 3: movies are are masterpieces to me, But Fritz the Cat
Speaker 3: is the one that's the one movie that just I mean,
Speaker 3: it's so foundational to the way I look at art,
Speaker 3: and so I will always just be, you know, indebted
Speaker 3: to that film.
Speaker 4: Gary wants to know what your second favorite back.
Speaker 3: I think I would probably go ooh, It's it's hard.
Speaker 3: I like want to say Heavy Traffic. But I think
Speaker 3: American Pop is just like one of those beautiful movies
Speaker 3: ever made. I just I could I just any scene
Speaker 3: in that movie that I can pull up with, just
Speaker 3: like one of the songs and the rotoscoping animation is
Speaker 3: just so beautiful. So I'll go with American Pop.
Speaker 2: So for me, my number one is one that you
Speaker 2: didn't even run down there. It's got to be Wizards.
Speaker 3: I love Wizards. I mean it's so good.
Speaker 4: So it's it's just I don't know every scene, You're
Speaker 4: just like, what are you doing?
Speaker 3: He is a maniac. I mean, like it's so now
Speaker 3: if anyone doesn't know, like you can just he's still
Speaker 3: all he does now is kind of hang out in
Speaker 3: his house and make these beautiful paintings and he'll like
Speaker 3: live stream him painting. Uh, And it's just he's just
Speaker 3: such a treasure. Like I just I fucking love that dude.
Speaker 4: It's incredible. Had no idea.
Speaker 2: That's fantastic. I'm gonna have to go find one of
Speaker 2: these last streams. Yeah, love this pic. On my list
Speaker 2: of Bakshi, I think Fritz would be my number three.
Speaker 2: But it's like you're ranking again, like we were just
Speaker 2: talking about with sa Toshi Khan, like really impactful, incredible.
Speaker 2: All of these are amazing movies, and Fritz is I mean,
Speaker 2: you say problematic, but let's just be honest. A lot
Speaker 2: of people are I don't know, vulnerable and sensitive to
Speaker 2: a point where they just don't expect it, and that
Speaker 2: that lack of preparing for that you're gonna be caught
Speaker 2: off guard. And that was kind of the point of
Speaker 2: what we're doing here. We're putting a We're putting a
Speaker 2: not even all of these movies, can I say, are
Speaker 2: we putting a story forth? But we're putting a message
Speaker 2: to you in a way that you were not expecting.
Speaker 2: Me to deliver it and firts the Cat is maybe
Speaker 2: his best one for that because it's just so off
Speaker 2: the wall and yeah, really forward thinking.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean like that's the thing, Like I remember
Speaker 3: hearing about it growing up and being like, oh, that's
Speaker 3: the Horny Cat movie, right, like that sucks with people.
Speaker 4: Cool?
Speaker 3: Yeah, the rated X one. I got it, And then
Speaker 3: when I actually ended up watching it, it was just
Speaker 3: like this incredible examination of race relations, Like it was
Speaker 3: just I love it. I've just adore that movie.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's actually he's incredible. I have no idea why,
Speaker 2: Like I said that, Bacsi did not end up on
Speaker 2: my list, but hey, I love the guy too. My
Speaker 2: Number one, though, is a It's the other one that
Speaker 2: I was talking about that was a fairly in the
Speaker 2: last few years recent discovery and yeah, I've talked about
Speaker 2: it a lot on the show. Assuming I don't care.
Speaker 2: This thing is a masterpiece. And out of all of these,
Speaker 2: it's the movie that has personally, like really wowed me
Speaker 2: in the way that it is just not something I
Speaker 2: ever expected to see, and that is the Deaf Crocodile
Speaker 2: release of Feladay Felladay, being a German animated film about
Speaker 2: cats that are looking to their humans that they call
Speaker 2: can openers to serve their lives. And in the first
Speaker 2: I don't know three minutes of this movie, you are
Speaker 2: already treated to the fact that there is a murder
Speaker 2: that has taken place. A cat is dead and people
Speaker 2: are trying to find out why. There are scenes in
Speaker 2: this movie that are terrifying that are animated beautifully. You
Speaker 2: see cat buttholes, you see testing happening on cats, you
Speaker 2: see cats literally murdering other cats. There is stuff in
Speaker 2: this movie that is absolutely not made for kids. But
Speaker 2: this movie is harsh in a way that is humane
Speaker 2: and I don't know something about it. Is just a
Speaker 2: very interesting medium to tell a story like this that
Speaker 2: I don't think I've seen anyone else tell a story
Speaker 2: like this in this manner. Absolutely taken by this from
Speaker 2: the moment I saw it. Felladay should be seen by everybody.
Speaker 2: The four K release by Deaf Crocodile is mind blowing,
Speaker 2: is probably the best way to say it. It looks
Speaker 2: incredible the extras. I don't know how this commentary turned
Speaker 2: out this great. It's because I'm on the commentary. Deaf
Speaker 2: Crocodile is absolutely, like, just incredible for rescuing this because
Speaker 2: it literally was about to not be able to be rescued.
Speaker 2: It is a movie that has soured with age a
Speaker 2: little bit because of what the original author of the
Speaker 2: book has developed into over life, and it doesn't deserve
Speaker 2: to have that reputation because this book is forward thinking,
Speaker 2: is progressive at heart. It is absolutely at the forefront
Speaker 2: of like nine different problems that the world has, and
Speaker 2: it's told in the style of probably my favorite animator
Speaker 2: of all time. And when you're able to get a
Speaker 2: film that is talking about kats killing each other, and
Speaker 2: you go out there and you are able to make
Speaker 2: it in a fairly disneyfied way, but do it in
Speaker 2: an animation style that is sure not necessarily just like it.
Speaker 2: But they were literally told, you need to try to
Speaker 2: make this in the style of these other animated movies
Speaker 2: that we've been seeing come out of America for the
Speaker 2: last ten years, and it ended up being amazing.
Speaker 4: Don Bluth is.
Speaker 2: My favorite animator, and there are scenes in this movie
Speaker 2: that you could have told me Don Bluth drew them.
Speaker 4: I'm like, yeah, okay, he definitely did.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: So watching this it hit in the most like siniphile
Speaker 2: away from me because I was raised on Don Bluth
Speaker 2: and now I got to see people he inspired do
Speaker 2: a new story that was compelling to me, and it
Speaker 2: just scratched every single inch. I love this movie and
Speaker 2: if you have not seen Philaday, everybody out there should
Speaker 2: see this.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Philade, I hate that I have not seen it.
Speaker 3: I remember seeing the release of that when Def Crocodile
Speaker 3: put that out and just being like, God, damn, that
Speaker 3: looks really cool. But it just I haven't gotten around
Speaker 3: to it yet. But like I'm I don't know. I
Speaker 3: feel like this is one that I need to like
Speaker 3: push to the front to watch because it just I
Speaker 3: don't know. That's everything because I'm also I'm a I'm
Speaker 3: an acolyte of Don Bluth.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Ronnie shouting out Gwen in the Book of Sand
Speaker 2: in Heroic Times, Deff Crocodiles on both of those, Yeah,
Speaker 2: both incredible releases. Is Gary shouting out I lost my
Speaker 2: body and your name uh.
Speaker 4: Aba, good night.
Speaker 2: Ben Craig says the lead animator character designer was a
Speaker 2: Don Blue Studio lump.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: They were all about it and literally said let's do
Speaker 2: it in that style. So cool.
Speaker 4: It's a masterpiece, absolute masterpiece. Andreas. We did it.
Speaker 3: We did it two and two cat movies at the
Speaker 3: top of the list.
Speaker 4: Yeah. Uh, this is a very cat cat movie friendly show.
Speaker 2: So I appreciate that we were able to do this,
Speaker 2: Craig says, Pied Piper and Philaday again. Pie Piper was
Speaker 2: the other stop motion that I wanted to bring up. Unfortunately,
Speaker 2: it's I didn't want to sell like I'm sipping too
Speaker 2: much for Deff crocking.
Speaker 3: Simple way. It's fine, uh.
Speaker 2: Jerry saying, the Fantastic Animation Festival. It's a collection of
Speaker 2: shortsman at nationwide TATCO release.
Speaker 4: I need to see that. Cg TV says, I wish
Speaker 4: I could see you here for the first time again.
Speaker 4: I envy Ryan.
Speaker 2: You're in for something you'll never Honestly, I may do
Speaker 2: that in the next week, just be able to talk
Speaker 2: about on the next show if I get time.
Speaker 4: I'm working on two visual essays right now.
Speaker 2: If I finish both of those, I'm gonna try to
Speaker 2: get that done this weekend because we're probably not doing
Speaker 2: a huge amount.
Speaker 4: Of the theater this weekend. So hopefully Akira is here.
Speaker 3: For sure, and I assume you got the four K
Speaker 3: of it I.
Speaker 2: Did the I think it was the target sale buy one,
Speaker 2: get one fifty percent off and it was gosh after
Speaker 2: the discount, the four K steel book was like fourteen
Speaker 2: dollars Jesus Christ.
Speaker 3: Just the idea that you get you get to experience
Speaker 3: a Kira the first time in four K like that's
Speaker 3: very because I think most of us watched some jinky
Speaker 3: vhs back in the day, so that's very cool.
Speaker 2: Uh So, as usual, I want to promote everything that
Speaker 2: I can for Andres. But the big thing I linked
Speaker 2: to the Vinegar Syndrome store, they've already shut.
Speaker 4: It down before now, I believe, so you can't even
Speaker 4: buy the films from the website right now, But please
