Speaker 1: You are now listening to the Someone's Favorite Productions podcast network.
Speaker 2: Hello there, and welcome back.
Speaker 3: What is this place as connected disconnected? It's connected, disconnected, disconnected, disconnected, disconnected, disconnected, disconnected, disconnected, disconnected, disconnected, disconnected, disconnected.
Speaker 2: I'm starting to feel.
Speaker 3: Disconnected the number that has been disconnected.
Speaker 2: Hello there, and welcome back to another episode of Reconnected
Speaker 2: Live with Crit And it is the middle of the night,
Speaker 2: so let's all be extra kind to Krit. Krit, thank
Speaker 2: you for waking up early for this.
Speaker 3: It's okay, I woke up at one I am. I'm
Speaker 3: on two and a half hours sleep.
Speaker 2: Scout. Tonight, we're we're gonna have a long announcement show.
Speaker 2: As usual, everybody's announcing everything under the sun. But also
Speaker 2: tonight we're talking about one of Krit and I's famous,
Speaker 2: uh like really favorite actors. I would say we've talked
Speaker 2: about him briefly in a couple other things, and this
Speaker 2: has been a long time coming. We're talking about Denzel tonight.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so Denzel is my favorite actor. I have two
Speaker 3: videos on my channel about Denzel. I have one sent
Speaker 3: me explaining why it's the greatest of all time, and
Speaker 3: I have another one where I watch every Denzel movie
Speaker 3: and then I rank them, which was fifty five at
Speaker 3: the time, but now there's highest to lowest, so it's outdated,
Speaker 3: so there's fifty six now. And also in doing this,
Speaker 3: I have changed that ranking quite a lot, so that
Speaker 3: video is nothing anymore. But still watch it anyway. It's
Speaker 3: like an hour and a half.
Speaker 2: So now there will be another Denzel video next week
Speaker 2: with this an hour and a half maybe of course.
Speaker 3: Yeah, to be honest, I should do one weekly just updating.
Speaker 2: We Yeah, so we're gonna be covering our top ten
Speaker 2: favorite Denzel movies at the end of this, and it's
Speaker 2: gonna be long. I'm gonna warn everybody now. When when
Speaker 2: we did our m Night Shyamalan video, we were like
Speaker 2: this might be like an hour, hour and ten minute
Speaker 2: and it was like two and a half hours. KRT
Speaker 2: and I like to talk. We break down a lot
Speaker 2: of this stuff, and Denzel's gonna bring out some opinions.
Speaker 2: I guarantee that. But I'm grateful you're here. It's been
Speaker 2: I was telling you before we went live. I was like,
Speaker 2: for some reason, twenty twenty five is really kind of
Speaker 2: went by without me noticing. I thought the last time
Speaker 2: you're on was May or June, and I went, oh,
Speaker 2: it's been seven months, welcome back.
Speaker 3: Yeah it's been like technically it's been a long time,
Speaker 3: but it literally feels like two months ago.
Speaker 2: Maybe well, and your life has changed kind of dramatically
Speaker 2: since the last time you're on here. Not only did
Speaker 2: you get a new job, you got engaged correcttions, Yes,
Speaker 2: I forgot about that here. I am just skeeping details
Speaker 2: of everybody's life for everybody.
Speaker 3: Yeah, things happened. Yeah, gone a new job, so that's great.
Speaker 3: I work from home now so I get to like
Speaker 3: do more stuff like watch Denzel movies. And yeah, I
Speaker 3: got engaged. I proposed in a castle up Scotland. It
Speaker 3: was very nice.
Speaker 2: It's just the traditional way that they do it over there.
Speaker 2: Don't get conned. Everybody does it. It was not special. Oh man.
Speaker 2: One thing I wanted to highlight, which everybody obviously I'm
Speaker 2: going to say this every time. Create all of his
Speaker 2: links from the description below, please go subscribe to his channel.
Speaker 2: He's great at what he does. One thing that we
Speaker 2: talked about in the sub or not the sub in
Speaker 2: the discord quite a bit is that you put up
Speaker 2: a video this year that if I'm remembering, right, it's
Speaker 2: like four and a half hours.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, yeah, if you to be fair, if you
Speaker 4: actually look, it's I think it's the last video uploaded.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it was like a month ago or something,
Speaker 3: because like after I finished, Yeah it's four hours and
Speaker 3: twenty nine minutes and thirty five seconds.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you did like a three year hiatus after that.
Speaker 3: I get it, big big break. I couldn't go straight
Speaker 3: back to it.
Speaker 2: So this is a lot of people that are into
Speaker 2: physical media. It's some of their favorite types of videos.
Speaker 2: So what are you doing in the video? Because it
Speaker 2: is it's very different than other videos of this kind.
Speaker 3: See, I wouldn't know that because I don't watch them.
Speaker 3: So it's me going over every single thing that I
Speaker 3: own over and in that corner movie wise, even the
Speaker 3: stuff on top. You know, I go top to bottom,
Speaker 3: just kind of talking about what the movie is, why
Speaker 3: I own it, where I got it, what I think
Speaker 3: about the movie and such. It took me, I think,
Speaker 3: two weeks to film it because like I would sit
Speaker 3: there for it takes a long time to talk about these.
Speaker 3: I was thinking, like, Okay, it wouldn't be that bad,
Speaker 3: you know, you talk about a movie for like a
Speaker 3: minute or whatever. But the problem is if you have
Speaker 3: like eight hundred movie because that's not even the biggest
Speaker 3: collection ever, it's relatively small compared to a lot of people's.
Speaker 3: But like if you talk about at least, you know,
Speaker 3: one movie for two minutes and then average that out,
Speaker 3: it's so much time. So yeah, it was. It was
Speaker 3: absolutely killing me to make that video. I was regretting it.
Speaker 3: Halfway through.
Speaker 2: I went, you know, I'm gonna I'm gonna listen to
Speaker 2: this while I work. It'll probably take a few days,
Speaker 2: no big deal. I got through like the first fifteen
Speaker 2: titles and I was already like, oh man, now if
Speaker 2: you go add stuff to a wish list, And by
Speaker 2: that point, I'm already lost, and I'm like, Jesus, what
Speaker 2: is going on. We're eight minutes into this And he
Speaker 2: said these were quicker than the rest, and oh boy,
Speaker 2: And yeah, it's a it is a long haul video, however,
Speaker 2: very worth it to find out like somebody's inner psyche
Speaker 2: of why they own many of these, what they like
Speaker 2: about them, old experiences with them. It's it's well done.
Speaker 3: So a lot of that showed up. But because I
Speaker 3: think I told you, like The raw footage of all
Speaker 3: of that was about seven and a half hours, So
Speaker 3: there's like three hours of just me yapping about, like,
Speaker 3: you know, random stuff about these movies that got cut
Speaker 3: so to make it at least us some godly length.
Speaker 3: So yeah, there's so much in that. I think, honestly,
Speaker 3: the movies I care the least about the DVD section,
Speaker 3: not even the Blu rays. It's my favorite section of
Speaker 3: the video because like half of them aren't even mine.
Speaker 3: That like my fiances movies, and they're the most made
Speaker 3: up movies ever. Just shit, no one's ever seen, no
Speaker 3: one's ever heard of. It's complete bullshit, Like, yeah, it's
Speaker 3: random as fuck. But yeah, I did enjoy the video
Speaker 3: after making it. But the making of it was awful.
Speaker 2: Yep, yep, it's ah. It was a feat hearing hearing
Speaker 2: your lamenting as you recorded it and sent me messages.
Speaker 3: It's like every.
Speaker 2: Day I think, Well, one of the first few, I
Speaker 2: think you said something like I'm through the first three
Speaker 2: rows and I'm sweaty or something like yeah, yeah, great,
Speaker 2: I don't remember. Anyways, speaking of those shelves, what what
Speaker 2: have you been adding some pickups recently?
Speaker 3: So yeah, right, I'll just go for a little pile
Speaker 3: of that I've created. So I picked up The Haunting
Speaker 3: of Hill House the Director's cut, which I think three
Speaker 3: of the episodes have directors cuts. Yep, I'm a big
Speaker 3: Mike Flannagan guy, big Stephen Stephen King, big Shirley Jackson guy.
Speaker 3: And yeah, I recently read this book which got me
Speaker 3: back into the mood of watching it. And yeah, it's fantastic.
Speaker 3: It's it's a perfect show. It's a perfect horror show.
Speaker 3: Mike Flanagan is the go. We ended up going through
Speaker 3: all the Mike Flanagan stuff, so we are just I
Speaker 3: think like two episodes away from finishing House of Bus
Speaker 3: shirt nice. But yeah, Mike Flanagan, it's my guy. Directed
Speaker 3: The Life of Chuck this year, which I've pre ordered
Speaker 3: the whichever especially it. Yeah, that's the one. It was
Speaker 3: like a month ago, so I forgot I love that.
Speaker 2: I remember that for you.
Speaker 3: I lo that was on Okay, Oh another TV show?
Speaker 3: I got Season one of Fallout on.
Speaker 2: Four k oh nice any of it yet? Right?
Speaker 3: First of all, I've never played a Fallout game. But
Speaker 3: the show is really really good, Like it's a really
Speaker 3: good show. I can't speak to how like faithful it
Speaker 3: is because I don't know, but the show is really good.
Speaker 3: My biggest gripe though, is that the four K is
Speaker 3: like this like really thin one. Right, The standard Blu
Speaker 3: Ray release of this season is thick because it comes
Speaker 3: with like extras. It comes with like a poster and stuff,
Speaker 3: and I was like, why does the Blu ray have
Speaker 3: all this extra shit and the four K gets nothing.
Speaker 3: I was really upset about that, but I wasn't not
Speaker 3: going to buy it on four K, so.
Speaker 2: Weird.
Speaker 3: I got the Arrow release of The Good, The Bad,
Speaker 3: the Weird.
Speaker 2: Good Movie Good.
Speaker 3: I still need to like get back through like this
Speaker 3: version of it, but I've not really seen many movies
Speaker 3: as I've late, I might as well actually talk about
Speaker 3: these together. So I picked up the BFI release of Chronos,
Speaker 3: which is like this really chunky, very very beautiful. I
Speaker 3: saw this for the first time recently when I did
Speaker 3: my game Mother Toro Binge, and yeah, it's really really good.
Speaker 3: I loved it a lot. At the same time, I
Speaker 3: picked up Pacific Rim on four K because it's Pacific
Speaker 3: Rim del Toro. It's beast deep. Read that that that
Speaker 3: the error release of Deep Red because I was watching
Speaker 3: some Dario Argento movies not too long ago, and this
Speaker 3: is one I've never seen. Yeah, I know, everyone tells
Speaker 3: me like this is like one of the ones. I've
Speaker 3: seen a bunch of Dario Argenta, but this is like
Speaker 3: one of like the the most cannon ones that I
Speaker 3: haven't seen. So I'll get to it at some point.
Speaker 3: Speaking of m Night, we got Unbreakable on four K.
Speaker 2: Finally looks good on four K two.
Speaker 3: I just love it. Something I don't like how they've
Speaker 3: like airbrushed Bruce Willis on this cover.
Speaker 2: Though every single M Night film on four K from
Speaker 2: the studio has looked like crap.
Speaker 3: Yeah, dude, the signs four K is awful. It's like
Speaker 3: one of the scariest things I've ever seen. It's like
Speaker 3: they've got like mannequins of the actors that have like
Speaker 3: slightly melted. It looks horrific. But I had the still
Speaker 3: book for that, so I don't have to deal with
Speaker 3: that problem.
Speaker 2: Smart Man, Strange Darling. I love that movie. I have
Speaker 2: that released too.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a great movie, really love it. JT. Moulner
Speaker 3: recently with The Long Walk rather Long Walk, and yeah,
Speaker 3: everyone should go and see The Long Walk. Because it
Speaker 3: is really good.
Speaker 2: JT. Mulner currently working on the Texas Chainsaw Asker TV
Speaker 2: show too.
Speaker 3: That is true. I knew that yesterday and the last
Speaker 3: thing this was a pre order that I forgot. I
Speaker 3: pre ordered it is The Hackers four K. My friend
Speaker 3: recommended this movie to me weirdly enough, like I don't
Speaker 3: know four or someth ago or something, and I was like,
Speaker 3: this sounds stupid. I'm in and I watched it and
Speaker 3: it is stupid and I loved it. And then literally
Speaker 3: the next month this was announced nice and I was like, oh,
Speaker 3: that's crazy, So I pre ordered it like immediately.
Speaker 2: Very nice it is. It is a very silly movie,
Speaker 2: but it is quite fun.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's so nineties. It's goofy as fuck, Like
Speaker 3: none of the computer stuff is at all accurate to anything.
Speaker 2: I don't even think it aged like eighteen months after
Speaker 2: that came out. Literally, I seriously about that time, I
Speaker 2: was like, oh, that that's very dated. It was like
Speaker 2: that just premiered last March.
Speaker 3: I'm going to be real. With the exception of Matthew
Speaker 3: Lillard and Angelina Jolie, I don't think this cast aged
Speaker 3: eighteen months. I think everyone became pretty much irrelevant as
Speaker 3: soon as this movie dropped.
Speaker 2: I can't really argue that.
Speaker 3: Probably actually no, because there's this one guy in it
Speaker 3: that's in success Yeah, that's that. I never know the
Speaker 3: guy's name, but we used to call him neck because
Speaker 3: in Succession he has like a really big bubble head
Speaker 3: and a really thin neck yep.
Speaker 2: Uh is it Ethan Embry? I always want to say that.
Speaker 3: It might be oh right, yeah, and it also has
Speaker 3: what's his name, penn from Penninella or is it? Yeah,
Speaker 3: I don't know which one is angel Lette? Yeah, that one.
Speaker 3: He's in it randomly as well. Such an odd movie
Speaker 3: it is, Yeah, hakash Me.
Speaker 2: I've got a very small amount of things to talk about.
Speaker 2: But the first is the newest issue of the magazine
Speaker 2: finally showed up a get three weeks into the month,
Speaker 2: and uh, it is really nice in the hand check
Speaker 2: this out. I posted about Patroon. We'll talk about that tonight,
Speaker 2: but if you sign up in the next couple of days,
Speaker 2: you can still get that issue before October rolls around. Oh,
Speaker 2: I did not mean Fisher Stevens. If that's who it is,
Speaker 2: that's really funny because they are not related in any way,
Speaker 2: thanks Simmer. My next pickup is a lot of maca Oops,
Speaker 2: I'm dumb. My next is the Mondo Macabre pickup. This
Speaker 2: is I Hate My Body, which is by far to
Speaker 2: me the most intriguing of the recent I think it
Speaker 2: was three films that they put out, and yeah, these
Speaker 2: were shipping a little late, and I think there was
Speaker 2: a delay for some because they ran out of red cases,
Speaker 2: but those should be shipping down the next couple of days.
Speaker 2: Altered Innocence, I feel like he is not getting a
Speaker 2: lot of coverage lately. But I immediately had to get so
Speaker 2: unreal that they announced this is a music heavy release
Speaker 2: that they did, and I loved this inner art and yeah,
Speaker 2: this is one that is narrated by who is it.
Speaker 2: It's a man to somebody, Amanda Kramer, who's real heavy
Speaker 2: into this. Debbie Harry's involved heavily in this. I'm very
Speaker 2: curious about this one. So we'll be checking that out.
Speaker 2: And then we're talking about Umbrella tonight and their second
Speaker 2: announcement or sorry, their announcement for the second volume of
Speaker 2: the New Zealand Cult films that they're doing. I just
Speaker 2: got in the first volume. This is Kiwi Cult Volume one.
Speaker 2: This has in it the irreparable truth about demons, perfect
Speaker 2: Creatures or sorry, perfect Creature and Under the Mountain three films,
Speaker 2: three Separate Cases comes with the book Nothing Else Crazy.
Speaker 2: It's not like one of the Umbrella collectors editions that
Speaker 2: are super lavish. It's basically just a hard box on
Speaker 2: a book that you get with it. But for New
Speaker 2: Zealand films that even like a lot of New Zealand
Speaker 2: individuals don't know about, I feel like this is a
Speaker 2: pretty good deal for three decent movies. Noodles is saying,
Speaker 2: what label is this? This is Umbrella. If you're talking
Speaker 2: about the last one that was Altered Innocence. Altered Innocence,
Speaker 2: you had gotten a little bit burned out on movies,
Speaker 2: so you were not watching stuff for quite some time.
Speaker 2: Tonight with us talking about Denzel, that reignited some things.
Speaker 2: Do you want to share anything about the movies you've
Speaker 2: watched this week or do you want to play koy
Speaker 2: until the end? Well?
Speaker 3: Yeah, so this is so. I watched like a lot
Speaker 3: of a lot of movies, and when I started my
Speaker 3: new job from working from home, I ended up watching
Speaker 3: like five six movies a day, and it got to
Speaker 3: the point where, like I just I couldn't stand watching
Speaker 3: movies anymore. And then so I started reading more, and
Speaker 3: then I started watching TV shows a bit more with
Speaker 3: my partner. And yeah, I've waved in and out. But
Speaker 3: this last week I was like, right, I probably should watch,
Speaker 3: you know, one or two Denzel films just to refresh
Speaker 3: my mind. And I watched My Bed of Blues and
Speaker 3: I was like, man, I love Denzel. So I've ended
Speaker 3: up watching ten Denzel movies this month, this month, this week.
Speaker 3: So actually I say that the last like three days,
Speaker 3: I watched tenth and Denzel movies. Not all of them
Speaker 3: are on the list, but yeah, some of them are.
Speaker 3: There's no point going into them because most of them
Speaker 3: I'm going to talk about at some point. I'll probably
Speaker 3: find a way to squeeze in the other ones into
Speaker 3: some like conversation. Anyway, But before that, what did I watch?
Speaker 3: I watched Eddington, which, oh yeah, I'm like a known
Speaker 3: ri Asta hater. He's off fraud Watch. I put him
Speaker 3: on fraud Watch for a while, but I'm taking him
Speaker 3: off because Eddington was all right. It was decent, good
Speaker 3: little movie.
Speaker 2: Off fraud Watch is hilarious to say about one of
Speaker 2: the most highest acclaim up and cutting directors.
Speaker 3: The Man's a fraud. I watched I Know What You
Speaker 3: Did last summer, the new one. I'm sorry about that. Yeah, horrific.
Speaker 3: I was live updating you while I was watching it. It
Speaker 3: took me half a day to watch it because I
Speaker 3: kept stopping. I couldn't watch it was awful. And then yeah,
Speaker 3: I just watched some other stuff from this year. Found
Speaker 3: footage the making of The Patterson Project, which was okay together,
Speaker 3: oh hi, and The Long Walk, which is fantastic.
Speaker 2: Oh did you like? OHI I don't remember if you.
Speaker 3: I didn't like, write a review or nothing, but I
Speaker 3: thought it was okay.
Speaker 2: It was good.
Speaker 3: It was a charming little movie. I don't think like
Speaker 3: I'll be talking about it at any point, but.
Speaker 2: Like visual essay springs to now, but it's fine.
Speaker 3: And then yeah, I also watched Highest to Lowest.
Speaker 2: Obviously, of course Karin wants to know if if you're
Speaker 2: okay with sharing, what do you do for a job.
Speaker 3: I don't know that. I'm so eneruptured by myself. I
Speaker 3: am a QA so a quality quality assurance for a
Speaker 3: tech company. So basically we run like it's it's called
Speaker 3: a PIN, which basically just means we manage data for
Speaker 3: companies like if you're in the you guys have do
Speaker 3: you guys have JD JD Sports? I don't know if
Speaker 3: you do, probably not JD Sports. It's like a UK
Speaker 3: like chain where they sat like trainers and yeah, football
Speaker 3: tops and whatever. They're online stores. That date is managed
Speaker 3: for us, so they don't update their website directly, they
Speaker 3: do it through us and whatever. Anyway, if a code
Speaker 3: developer makes a bit of code changes the system, I'm
Speaker 3: the one that has to make sure it works. Pretty much,
Speaker 3: that's a that's my job.
Speaker 2: Not too bad.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I get to I get to break code for
Speaker 3: a living.
Speaker 2: Basically break code and then attempt to fix it. What
Speaker 2: do you call the fraud? As much as mediocre to
Speaker 2: consistently underwhelming, says Noodles. I get that. I think a
Speaker 2: lot of people feel that way. Actually recent watches for me,
Speaker 2: so this has been a wild week. We started off
Speaker 2: with the Patreon watch along was this last weekend in
Speaker 2: the discord and we watched a Pedro Almadovar film from
Speaker 2: nineteen eighty three called Dark Habits It Is. It was
Speaker 2: an interesting response. Yeah, so it is quite early and
Speaker 2: almador our career, so it doesn't have his his skill
Speaker 2: mastered yet. It's still quite stylish, but it was certainly
Speaker 2: not for me. Pretty Much everything else I've seen from
Speaker 2: him has been vastly superior. However, still worth the watch.
Speaker 2: You see some nuns doing Heroin. If that's your bag,
Speaker 2: I guess it's. It's not a terrible movie, you tell me, Dovar,
Speaker 2: So yeah, it was never gonna be awful, but no
Speaker 2: worth watch. After that, I had my of course theater
Speaker 2: day at the weekend. There was only a triple feature
Speaker 2: this weekend, went and saw him about that, went saw
Speaker 2: a big, bold, beautiful Journey. This is the newest one
Speaker 2: with Margot Robbie and Colin Ferrell and this one go ahead.
Speaker 3: No, I've not seen it, so I can't ready comments
Speaker 3: on it, which is weird. It's not often that someone's
Speaker 3: seen a new movie and I haven't, so this is
Speaker 3: like a fun, refreshing moment. I just didn't know it existed.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the marketing has been weird, like I've seen. I've
Speaker 2: seen the trailer a lot because I go to the
Speaker 2: theater every single weekend. But other than that, I don't
Speaker 2: think I've heard of it outside of the theater.
Speaker 3: I literally saw a TikTok about it yesterday and I
Speaker 3: was like, Oh, what's Colin Farrell dude like hanging out
Speaker 3: with Margot Robbie. That's so weird. And then the like
Speaker 3: in the little description it was like going say, and
Speaker 3: I was like, I have a movie. Yeah, why isn't
Speaker 3: that everywhere?
Speaker 2: What's funny is your response to it is basically the
Speaker 2: response that I felt in the theater. I was like,
Speaker 2: why are they hanging out next week? They had zero chemistry.
Speaker 2: I get that everybody has been saying that, but it's
Speaker 2: absolutely true. It certainly feels like they're they're both falling
Speaker 2: in love with different people that aren't in the movie
Speaker 2: with them. Oddly, the biggest thing like it's it's a
Speaker 2: beautiful movie. It's shot wonderfully. It's Coconata, so it's going
Speaker 2: to be colorful and like whimsical and stuff. However, the
Speaker 2: dialogue certainly a little awkward for me. It definitely felt
Speaker 2: a little less human than I think they would have
Speaker 2: been in the moment. It's meant to be like a
Speaker 2: bubblegum pop type of script, it feels like, and it's
Speaker 2: it's quite mainstream in that effect that the plot itself
Speaker 2: is not mainstream. So I feel like those are sort
Speaker 2: of juxtaposing a bit. I like this, but as as
Speaker 2: Simnars trying to say it puts Life of Chuck to shame,
Speaker 2: it does not. Life of Chuck is miles beyond.
Speaker 3: I haven't even seen this movie. I'll break this screen
Speaker 3: until dad.
Speaker 2: That's really funny. Followed that up though, with my favorite
Speaker 2: movie of the week, which is The History of Sound.
Speaker 2: This is the newest one with Paul Meskal, which I
Speaker 2: fell in love with after After Sun, because that movie
Speaker 2: is a masterpiece. I've seen it, gosh, I think five
Speaker 2: times or four times in the last three years already.
Speaker 2: But the big thing is he stars with Josh O'Connor
Speaker 2: and they're both just magnificent. In this movie. It's about
Speaker 2: two students at a music conservatory in I think it's
Speaker 2: Boston or the Northeast somewhere like that, in like the
Speaker 2: mid nineteen tens. They're literally in the middle of the
Speaker 2: First World War and that comes into play a little bit.
Speaker 2: But it's this very quaint, slow moving story about their
Speaker 2: relationship forming as friends and like lifelong friends and more
Speaker 2: obviously as that goes on, because they're inseparable, and then
Speaker 2: they're forced to separate, and then they are separated without
Speaker 2: their choice, and there's a lot of anguishes that goes through.
Speaker 2: But the big thing is it's they're collecting songs, is
Speaker 2: the way that they put it in the movie, And
Speaker 2: they're going around with wax cylinders for people to record,
Speaker 2: and when they get them, it's supposed to be going
Speaker 2: into the conservatory for this big music program. But it
Speaker 2: is emotional, it is beautiful, it is wonderfully acted. If
Speaker 2: you don't like slow cinema, you're probably not gonna like
Speaker 2: this movie. It's not like nothing happens type of cinema,
Speaker 2: but it is a very almost like melodrama type of
Speaker 2: twenty twenty five tempt at telling history through a romantic,
Speaker 2: interspersed life story type of movie. And it's great. I
Speaker 2: walked out of the movie and told my wife, I
Speaker 2: think we just watched Gay White Sinners and that's how
Speaker 2: it felt. But I've gotta be honest, the same year
Speaker 2: that Sinners came out, they'd probably make a double feature
Speaker 2: to just absolutely wreck you emotionally and musically. It's a
Speaker 2: really good time. Yeah, check out the History of Sound
Speaker 2: because I feel like hardly anybody is going to see
Speaker 2: that movie.
Speaker 3: Okay, I'll watch it. You convinced me.
Speaker 2: There's one A very passionate the last thing I watched
Speaker 2: this week, which I'm only saying this because I'm leading
Speaker 2: into a watch of the sequel on Saturday, and I'm
Speaker 2: very much not looking forward to it. I finally got
Speaker 2: to see The Strangers Chapter one, and all I have
Speaker 2: to say is, why did they make that movie? It
Speaker 2: is the hottest of hot garbage. My dear friend Dustin,
Speaker 2: who he is probably gonna watch us at some point
Speaker 2: in comment and say, oh my gosh, he posted a
Speaker 2: review of it today because he watched the first one again.
Speaker 2: He really likes the first one, and Dustin, I'm sorry
Speaker 2: that you hit your head this morning. The Strangers Chapter
Speaker 2: one is not good. It's not good in the least bit.
Speaker 2: I don't know why they had to do this. It
Speaker 2: is a beat for beat remake, but like they were
Speaker 2: making it while trying to find out if they could
Speaker 2: close all the doors and not have oxygen and see
Speaker 2: how long they could survive. Because it's bad, It's real bad.
Speaker 3: No. I did write a big piece of out Strangers
Speaker 3: chapter one somewhere and I just thought, I thought like
Speaker 3: it might have just been on letterbox, but it's not,
Speaker 3: so I have no idea where that is. It's awful. Yeah,
Speaker 3: it is terrible. It is just the first movie or
Speaker 3: Lover Again, but way worse.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's so many asked nine decisions about it, Like
Speaker 2: the big one that I'll point out. And this is
Speaker 2: not a spoiler in any way, but the main character's boyfriend,
Speaker 2: he just randomly goes and gets on a motorcycle that
Speaker 2: he's never driven before, knows how to start it, knows
Speaker 2: how to drive into town after like a wet, rainy day,
Speaker 2: and goes and gets food and he's totally fine, and
Speaker 2: he gets back to the house and all that. Why
Speaker 2: he would not have been able to do that. It's
Speaker 2: not something he could do. The sequel is going to
Speaker 2: be the same director as Strangers chapter one, noodles, but
Speaker 2: it's not the same director as the two thousand and
Speaker 2: eight one. Very different, much much worse.
Speaker 3: Yeah, if you want to watch The Strangers chapter one,
Speaker 3: just rewatch The Strangers and you'll be good.
Speaker 2: Rewatch the Strangers, but close one eye and stand on
Speaker 2: your head, and it's basically Strangers chapter one that works.
Speaker 2: I've not finished it yet, but I did want to
Speaker 2: give a shout out. I started watching Ephis this movie
Speaker 2: freaking rules. Yeah, it is such a good hangout vibe,
Speaker 2: just great time. I've got about twenty five minutes left,
Speaker 2: but it is a blast. One of the best of
Speaker 2: the year by far. Definitely gonna be top ten, top
Speaker 2: fifteen for me.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I have it quite high in my in my
Speaker 3: list as currents. I've seen one hundred and twelve twenty
Speaker 3: twenty five films and it's just outside the top ten.
Speaker 2: I am doing way better than I've ever done in
Speaker 2: a current year, and I think this is going to be.
Speaker 2: Oh before I answer this, let me let me make sure,
Speaker 2: because I don't think I'm including the ones from this
Speaker 2: last weekend. Once Ephis gets added in there, I will
Speaker 2: be at ninety two, and for me, that's really high.
Speaker 2: I used to be like this, finish the year at
Speaker 2: like forty if I'm lucky.
Speaker 3: Look at you go.
Speaker 2: Yeah, this will go into the theater for a whole
Speaker 2: day every weekend really kind of helps. I've noticed it
Speaker 2: is a good movie. Check it out, noodles. It's a blast.
Speaker 3: It is it's very good, all.
Speaker 2: Right, anything planned for you show that you want to
Speaker 2: highlight before we get into the announcements tonight. Well, oh.
Speaker 3: No, I am working on a video very very slowly,
Speaker 3: but I just I don't have the motivation to do
Speaker 3: a lot of it. I mean, I've done it's a
Speaker 3: big project again, just like the last one, and I've
Speaker 3: edited about like I don't have an hour of it.
Speaker 3: And even then that, like that hour is not even
Speaker 3: touching like a quarter of it. So it's a big
Speaker 3: boy project, so it won't be for a very long time.
Speaker 2: So well, I've got two more things to talk about
Speaker 2: before we do announcements. One heavily involves Chrits, So I'm
Speaker 2: gonna bring that one up real quick. You got to
Speaker 2: help with a disc in the last couple of weeks.
Speaker 2: You got to edit a piece for the imprint release
Speaker 2: of Jade Damn right, I did. Yeah, that was fun.
Speaker 2: You know, you kind of crushed it. It was like the.
Speaker 3: Quickest turnaround of anything I've ever edited ever, because I
Speaker 3: don't ever like edit anything with any urgency, not anymore anyway.
Speaker 3: Like back when I used to do two videos a week,
Speaker 3: there was a lot of urgency, but since I stopped
Speaker 3: doing that, there's none at all. But as soon as
Speaker 3: you messaged me about that, I was like, I was like, yep,
Speaker 3: I'll do that, like the next day, I'm available.
Speaker 2: You you did an absolutely wonderful job. Michelle is very
Speaker 2: happy with how her essay turned out with your panache
Speaker 2: on it. How was that different in all compared to
Speaker 2: all the visual essays you do for your channel or
Speaker 2: did it feel like you had just been studying this
Speaker 2: for years now?
Speaker 3: I don't know how to say this sounded like a dick,
Speaker 3: but like.
Speaker 2: It sounds like a dick, we want to hear.
Speaker 3: That it was way easier than my channel. Ways you one, Yeah,
Speaker 3: like editing for a YouTube audience is a lot different
Speaker 3: than editing for, like, you know, someone that's watching like
Speaker 3: a bonus feature, Because if someone's sat there to watch
Speaker 3: a bonus feature, they've already kind of processed in their
Speaker 3: head that they're just sitting there watching this thing whatever.
Speaker 3: But like with YouTube, like I feel like it has
Speaker 3: to be so stimulating all the time, you know, as
Speaker 3: people lose interest and it doesn't get picked up and
Speaker 3: blah blah blah blah blah. And also like the copyright thing,
Speaker 3: like if anyone watches my videos, you I mean, especially
Speaker 3: like recent times, there's a cut in the footage every
Speaker 3: four seconds or so, which which makes like a ten
Speaker 3: minute video take hours to edit. Whereas this you don't
Speaker 3: have to worry about the copywriter as much. You still
Speaker 3: have to worry about pacing and stuff, so you cut
Speaker 3: it appropriate times and stuff like that, but like you
Speaker 3: don't have to worry about getting trip top as much.
Speaker 3: Plus it's just more fun because I didn't know really
Speaker 3: what was in there. It was about whereas like when
Speaker 3: it's me, I know exactly what it is. It's scheduled,
Speaker 3: just regimented. Like when I write a script, I will
Speaker 3: already in a separate folder, have like it planned the
Speaker 3: editing from top to bottom, what images I need, what
Speaker 3: footage I need, and it's all numbered, so when I've
Speaker 3: taken into the program, it's all in place kind of already.
Speaker 3: And with this, it was just kind of like listen
Speaker 3: to it and figure it out, which was like fun.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And one thing I got to find out because
Speaker 2: I've not asked this just had you seen Jade before
Speaker 2: this edit? Or was this the first time watch?
Speaker 3: I didn't watch it, which made edit in it like
Speaker 3: really difficult because anytime, like she mentioned like a character
Speaker 3: in the movie, I had to google who the character
Speaker 3: was just to make sure. But I feel like I've
Speaker 3: seen it now because I've had to, Like I had
Speaker 3: the footage of the whole movie and I was like
Speaker 3: going through and I was like, so I know what
Speaker 3: it's about. I know the engine, like I've never like
Speaker 3: properly seen it, but yeah, it made That's why there
Speaker 3: was like a whole confusion was like a character's name
Speaker 3: and stuff like that, and it was tripping me out
Speaker 3: because I was like, I'm missing something here, but no,
Speaker 3: I want to see it, and if I get a
Speaker 3: copy of this release, then I'll definitely.
Speaker 2: See it the film.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but you know, but yeah, if I get this copy,
Speaker 3: I probably will watch it. It's freedkin, of course I'm
Speaker 3: going to watch it.
Speaker 2: Yeah. It's uh, it's it's really good. I think it's
Speaker 2: a lot better than people give it credit for. Yeah.
Speaker 3: I looked and like the I can't remember exactly what
Speaker 3: the Rotten Tomatoes is. Let me let me have a loop.
Speaker 2: It's not great, No, it's awful.
Speaker 3: It's like eighteen percent.
Speaker 2: Yeah. The big problem is it came out like three
Speaker 2: weeks or four weeks after show Girls and everyone he
Speaker 2: was like, oh, ironic thrillers are done now, and Jade
Speaker 2: came out and everybody's like, yeah, we don't care. This
Speaker 2: is bad, and it was. It was just poorly made,
Speaker 2: when in our reality it's Friedkin. It's wonderfully made. There's
Speaker 2: a really great chase scene in it, some like gnarly
Speaker 2: very adult scenes with some like really crazy blood for
Speaker 2: a pretty mainstream movie that came out. Well, this is
Speaker 2: the thing.
Speaker 3: I saw that the you know, the the eighteen percent,
Speaker 3: and even when I saw it, I was like, that
Speaker 3: doesn't look right. I've not seen this, and I'm I
Speaker 3: can be fairly certain. Eighteen percent is harsh, like I
Speaker 3: have seen what Freed can can do. And then a
Speaker 3: certain point it's like there's directors where like even at
Speaker 3: their worst, something is competent. Yeah, you know, like the
Speaker 3: worst Bilberg movie is still competently made, you know.
Speaker 2: So like especially that in his career, if it was
Speaker 2: like year three, maybe okay.
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is ninety five, Like Friedkin's not new, you know.
Speaker 3: So from what I saw, it looked very well made.
Speaker 2: It is quite well made, and Brian is right. He says,
Speaker 2: the problem is David Carrodine. He means David Caruso, but yeah,
Speaker 2: David Caruso is absolutely the problem on Jade. He doesn't
Speaker 2: fit tonally and I think that's why he got relegated
Speaker 2: to TV pretty quickly after this movie came out. Yeah.
Speaker 2: The other thing to bring up is a quite British
Speaker 2: problem this week as well. So it's it's a specific
Speaker 2: that krit is here. Gary is asking for it in
Speaker 2: the comments too, so I planned to bring this up.
Speaker 2: He says, could you discuss BFI's four k's of No.
Speaker 2: S Faratu the Vampire and A Geary the Wrath, So yeah,
Speaker 2: let's get into this. So there's been some quote controversy.
Speaker 2: BFI had announced four K releases of A Geary and No.
Speaker 2: Sparatu the Vampire hertzk that people love, like these are
Speaker 2: very beloved films. I've got literally a Noswarautu the Vampire
Speaker 2: poster right there that I can see. These are movies
Speaker 2: that people had wanted in like legendary four k's for
Speaker 2: the longest time, and then they come in from BFI
Speaker 2: and somebody's taken some screen caps and post on Reddit
Speaker 2: that these were restored by AI and you can tell
Speaker 2: by looking at the faces. And here's some screen caps
Speaker 2: to compare the Blu Ray and the four K. Now
Speaker 2: the way that they are put together. In the Reddit
Speaker 2: post that started this whole flame war, they look pretty
Speaker 2: not great. I will say, they don't look very filmic.
Speaker 2: They look quite de noised, and we'll get to that
Speaker 2: just a moment. However, I didn't see anything that would
Speaker 2: say immediately this is AI specifically, so I didn't really
Speaker 2: say anything. I didn't post anything. A couple of us
Speaker 2: we talked about it and dms and stuff, but that
Speaker 2: was it. But then mar from Orbit DVD went and
Speaker 2: posted that he took it home and opened it up
Speaker 2: because one was damaged, and watched it and he said
Speaker 2: it looks very good. Everybody will probably appreciate this. Now,
Speaker 2: a lot of people noticed, Hey, you own a retail store.
Speaker 2: You don't want people to cancel discs. You have every
Speaker 2: reason to say that this looks great. And so people
Speaker 2: started making Reddit posts in response to his social media posts,
Speaker 2: saying marks a complete liar. These look awful. He should
Speaker 2: not have said anything all this big hubbub. The reality
Speaker 2: is here's where we are. The BFI has responded in
Speaker 2: a couple spots on social media saying that the German
Speaker 2: company that restored these did not allow them to do
Speaker 2: any further restoration work on the scans that they were given.
Speaker 2: They had tinkered with them in some ways that the
Speaker 2: BFI does not know all the details about, and they
Speaker 2: were forced to choose to release them like this or
Speaker 2: not release them at all. Now, many of you would
Speaker 2: probably say, well, yeah, don't release them, because you should
Speaker 2: stay behind the integrity of what you're putting out and
Speaker 2: know that it's the highest of quality. And honestly, I
Speaker 2: can't really argue with that. If you think it looks bad,
Speaker 2: why are you releasing it? I get that, But they
Speaker 2: had already paid for everything. There was no way out
Speaker 2: of the license. It was either that or take a
Speaker 2: huge loss. And it's the BFI like they're supported by
Speaker 2: donations through the British government and a lot of other
Speaker 2: things that they don't have a ton of money to
Speaker 2: just lose on a couple giant titles. Sadly, so my
Speaker 2: thoughts does it look like it could be AI? Yes
Speaker 2: with the question mark. If you look at the screen caps,
Speaker 2: specifically one to one right against each other. The BLU
Speaker 2: ray to my eyes does look better, specifically the coloring. However,
Speaker 2: one of the things that I definitely want to say
Speaker 2: about this is that the ability to like d noise
Speaker 2: film in very very like the most base, not even
Speaker 2: like filmmaking programs or anything like that, like Da Vinci Resolve.
Speaker 2: You can denoise things and it looks like it is
Speaker 2: that level of denoising done where everything is smoothed out.
Speaker 2: It almost looks like like foreheads are like painted clear,
Speaker 2: almost not like the color clear, but like clear of
Speaker 2: any blemishes. You can very much tell that it's been
Speaker 2: had a lot of very heavy DNR applied pretty much
Speaker 2: throughout the entire film. It's not a great look. That
Speaker 2: being said, does it look so bad that you don't
Speaker 2: want to watch it?
Speaker 1: Not?
Speaker 2: Really? Will we ever know if it's truly AI? Probably
Speaker 2: not now. The sad thing is that response doesn't get
Speaker 2: clicks and people riled up to either buy or cancel orders.
Speaker 2: That will never be discussed with Nuance anywhere. But yeah,
Speaker 2: we probably just don't know what it was. The hard
Speaker 2: part is that right now everybody wants to scream a
Speaker 2: when there's something that they don't like, and de noising
Speaker 2: and scrubbing grain out of film has been around for
Speaker 2: a long time. That doesn't mean that it's generative AI
Speaker 2: doing it, which means you probably should not apply that
Speaker 2: term to it as an accusation publicly unless you have
Speaker 2: reason to believe it. One specific example that I will
Speaker 2: share that is very obviously doing that over the last
Speaker 2: couple of years is the Isle of Lucy blu Ray
Speaker 2: set that came out in the background of some of
Speaker 2: those scenes. There are faces that when they are will
Speaker 2: say like they're looking away from the camera like this,
Speaker 2: and then they start to turn. When they get about here,
Speaker 2: a full face appears like here, and then it distorts
Speaker 2: as they keep coming around with the camera. It's really
Speaker 2: bad if it's AI. If you're watching a moving image,
Speaker 2: you should be able to know very quickly. If you're
Speaker 2: looking at a still image, unless there's something very obviously
Speaker 2: fake like eighteen fingers on a hand or something like that,
Speaker 2: it could be quite difficult to say, see is this
Speaker 2: AI or is it really bad? Like removal of grain
Speaker 2: and smoothing. It's not great either way, Like I said,
Speaker 2: it does it's not something that's appealing in a filmic way. However,
Speaker 2: jumping to AI is ridiculous we definitely need a more
Speaker 2: nuanced when discussing this as a as a industry and
Speaker 2: as hobbyist and as people that love movies period. Any
Speaker 2: thoughts on AI crit other than you're you're vehemently for it.
Speaker 2: Uh oh.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I fucking love AI now and it's awful. It's
Speaker 3: genuinely terrible. I hate it unfortunately part of my job
Speaker 3: and a big part of my job actually because I
Speaker 3: for a like PIM system, we have an AI section
Speaker 3: and it doesn't work. It's broke, it's fucked. I'm the
Speaker 3: one that I'm like the specialist in the AI department
Speaker 3: to test it. Yeah, and it's awful. Like I have
Speaker 3: to see just bullshit AI stuff all day every day,
Speaker 3: and it's terrible. And to think that any of that
Speaker 3: gets anywhere near art, especially stuff like nus Ferati the Vampire,
Speaker 3: that's disheartening if true. But also like I've seen so
Speaker 3: many restorations that just have you know, shitty quality to
Speaker 3: it that makes it seem like AI even if it's not.
Speaker 3: But yeah, I don't know, Like I think BFI historically
Speaker 3: have been a decent company that put out decent releases
Speaker 3: and stuff like that, So I don't think like it's
Speaker 3: it's worth trying to like jumping straight to an accusation
Speaker 3: and almost ruining a reputation of a fairly innocent like distributor,
Speaker 3: like because the AI tag is so I don't know,
Speaker 3: just mark it's so marking for for for a label.
Speaker 3: You know, if like James Cameron used their AI to
Speaker 3: restore like Aliens and all of that stuff, and it's
Speaker 3: like it's pretty much killed all hope for any future
Speaker 3: James Cameron restorations. People don't want to see any of
Speaker 3: them at all because you know, the the AI thing. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: So even if like you know, they do a future
Speaker 3: one without AI, people aren't going to care. People aren't
Speaker 3: going to want it because of you know, the bad
Speaker 3: history and they're applying that same kind of hatred or
Speaker 3: that same kind of mark to BFI without verification, which
Speaker 3: I think is very strong, especially since it's off stills. Now.
Speaker 3: I don't think, you know, stuff should be degrained and
Speaker 3: stuff like that. I personally love the texture of film, but.
Speaker 2: It is what it is.
Speaker 3: It happens all the time, you know, and stills can
Speaker 3: be really really deceiving, you know, like how this movie
Speaker 3: looks in motion and how it will look in still
Speaker 3: form is going to be completely different. It always is.
Speaker 3: The opposite is true as well, Like sometimes you see
Speaker 3: it still of a movie that looks amazing and then
Speaker 3: you watch the movie and it's awful. This is a
Speaker 3: terrible movie. So like you know, it goes either way.
Speaker 3: But yeah, AI stinks.
Speaker 2: I do agree with Craig who says scrubbed of grain
Speaker 2: should it be acceptable either? I agree fully it absolutely
Speaker 2: should not be. This joke is very good. Matthew. Matthew says,
Speaker 2: my bigest issue with AI is Haley Jolasmu's perform horments, Yes, hilarious.
Speaker 2: Noodle says, my biggest complaint with older films getting newer
Speaker 2: releases as far as their quality goes, is whether the
Speaker 2: skies are blue or look dirty, scratched or hyper grainy.
Speaker 2: I mean they should look for some of them very grainy.
Speaker 2: Film inherently has grain, so I can't necessarily agree with that.
Speaker 2: Last Brandon says, did they not agree to do restoration
Speaker 2: of the materials when they strike the licensing deal? How
Speaker 2: can the German provider, the OCN say no, you can't
Speaker 2: restore this because they don't allow them to do any
Speaker 2: more work on the materials depending on what their contract is,
Speaker 2: which I should state. Supposedly BFI is saying that Shout
Speaker 2: is actually or sorry, was actually able to do restoration
Speaker 2: work after the same scan that the BFI got, so
Speaker 2: Shouts might be very different. We have not seen those yet.
Speaker 2: They are also announced in coming very very soon. But
Speaker 2: it is absolutely something that you got to pay attention to.
Speaker 2: It is super important. The BFI four K of a
Speaker 2: Geary hadn't seen it since DVD looked pretty good, says Brian.
Speaker 2: Problem is if I take off a string crap to
Speaker 2: find out for myself, then I can't return it. Honestly,
Speaker 2: I'm keeping both of mine. I completely understand that fully. Matthew.
Speaker 2: Part of me says, keep the grain because that's how
Speaker 2: it looked on release. Another part of me says, there's
Speaker 2: no grain in real life, so if you can make
Speaker 2: a movie more lifelike, have at it. That's not how
Speaker 2: it was captured at the time. Though the film that
Speaker 2: was being used, especially before gosh, like nineteen ninety one ish,
Speaker 2: it was inherently more grainy. We'd not gone so far
Speaker 2: into the cell technology that it was not super grain free.
Speaker 2: I mean, if you look at even movie shot on
Speaker 2: film in twenty twenty five are a lot less greeny
Speaker 2: than something shot on film in nineteen eighty five. The
Speaker 2: cost of the materials, the quality of the materials, all
Speaker 2: of that changes it entirely.
Speaker 3: Also, I'm a big believer that film should look the
Speaker 3: furthest from real life as possible. Yeah, you know, I
Speaker 3: think that's a major problem with like a lot of
Speaker 3: modern movies now. People say, you know, they're always moaning
Speaker 3: about lighting in the way like things are set and
Speaker 3: blah blah blah blah. But I think it's this addiction
Speaker 3: that companies have with making things look real, having the
Speaker 3: lighting look realistic. Who gives a fuck. I have never
Speaker 3: watched it, you know, like say in our Gentle movie
Speaker 3: and complained that it's you know, that the red lighting
Speaker 3: is not realistic enough because it's art. It's not meant
Speaker 3: to be what we have. If all movies are just
Speaker 3: real life, then there's no point in watching them. You
Speaker 3: might as well just live. Yeah, you know, I watch
Speaker 3: art to see the world in a different lens than
Speaker 3: what I see it in.
Speaker 2: I get that folly And yeah, just like pauls as
Speaker 2: too smooth as never a good look. Craig says film
Speaker 2: stocks are chosen specifically for the amount of grain they have.
Speaker 2: Grain levels often part of the artistic choice of the
Speaker 2: director and cinematographer. Absolutely, and then he also says some
Speaker 2: HGR releases pushed the grain and noise well beyond what
Speaker 2: they would have looked like. I agree that can be
Speaker 2: an issue. Yeah, something to keep in mind for sure, Gary, great,
Speaker 2: great way to say this. Grain is the mechanism that
Speaker 2: delivers the detail and film. You can't just scrub grain
Speaker 2: then slap on a sharpening filter. Fucking topaz.
Speaker 3: Apparently you can.
Speaker 2: So just like that next crag. Thanks for while you're insight,
Speaker 2: but that's over, Krit says, you can.
Speaker 3: So apparently you can. I'm not an expert in the fields,
Speaker 3: but they're doing it.
Speaker 2: On that note, I think it's I think it's time
Speaker 2: to get to it.
Speaker 3: An.
Speaker 2: That was so dismissive and I loved it.
Speaker 3: It was a good point, Gary, bad it was, Ryan.
Speaker 2: Says to Craig's point, stocks are also chosen by budget.
Speaker 2: Slower stock needs more light means bigger budget abs. Absolutely.
Speaker 2: All right, let's get started with the UK. Since Krit
Speaker 2: is here November seventeenth, there is a four K coming
Speaker 2: from Second Site of Pearl and of Maxine. We're gonna
Speaker 2: be talking about both of those. But I gotta admit
Speaker 2: it's getting to be kind of a running joke that
Speaker 2: I will say I've got a feeling that something's coming,
Speaker 2: and then the next week he gets announced. Literally last
Speaker 2: week on the show, I said, man, I have a
Speaker 2: feeling Second Site is going to be doing a trilogy
Speaker 2: of all these and then they only announced two out
Speaker 2: of three. But hey, I was two thirds, right, What
Speaker 2: do we know why they're not doing X? Somebody else
Speaker 2: already has the rights to X and they are holding
Speaker 2: it hostage from them in the UK.
Speaker 3: Stinker, I'll be picking up the PAL, I will not
Speaker 3: be picking up Maxine, and then if they eventually get
Speaker 3: to X, then I'll be picking that up as well.
Speaker 2: Yep. So the extras here, you'll notice they are quite
Speaker 2: different than the A twenty four extras because they are
Speaker 2: actually fairly robust here compared to A twenty four's not
Speaker 2: super long listed. So for Pearl, we got HDR with
Speaker 2: Dolby Vision Adolby Atmos, New commentary with Alexander Heller Nicholas,
Speaker 2: New interview with Ty West, New interview with Tandy Wright.
Speaker 2: New interview with the DP Elliot Rocket, new interview with
Speaker 2: the production designer Tom Hammock, a new visual essay by
Speaker 2: Joe Wallace. There is a piece called Coming Out of
Speaker 2: Rachelle and Time after Time. Those are also on some
Speaker 2: other releases. We've also got one hundred and twenty page
Speaker 2: book with new essays by gent Adams, Joel Harley, mo Mooshati,
Speaker 2: Tory Petenza, Vana Taylor, and Nadan Whitney. Plus the very
Speaker 2: stereotypical second site list of six collectors art cards, because
Speaker 2: they do that for every release to make it look
Speaker 2: like it's loaded with extras. Yeah, this is a solid release.
Speaker 2: I loved Pearl. I think this is my favorite of
Speaker 2: the three. Still good movie, good art. I think this
Speaker 2: looks good.
Speaker 3: Yeah, five looks really nice. I'll be picking it up.
Speaker 2: Of love for Pearl in the comments. Love seeing that
Speaker 2: Maxine is the second one from them, also coming on
Speaker 2: November seventeenth on four K. This is my least favorite
Speaker 2: of the three. I don't hate this one, but it's
Speaker 2: I feel like it's a big quality drop off from
Speaker 2: the other two. The art for this one, I feel
Speaker 2: like is off compared to Pearl. It just doesn't quite
Speaker 2: feel right on the box week.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know why it's so read either. The
Speaker 3: movie's not very red, is it.
Speaker 2: No, it could have been like a purple or pink
Speaker 2: and it would have been.
Speaker 3: Yeah, a little bit. I think pink would have been more.
Speaker 2: Soon we got hdr Adoby Vision adolby Amos again, new
Speaker 2: commentary by Bill Ackerman and amandareas. I really want to
Speaker 2: hear that commentary. There's a new interview with Ty West again,
Speaker 2: new interview with Jacob Jeffi, who's the producer on this.
Speaker 2: We got a new interview with the director of photography,
Speaker 2: Elliott Rocket again. We got a new interview with the
Speaker 2: production designer in this one, which is Jason Kisvarde. We've
Speaker 2: got Cat Hughes speaking on Maxine, and then four other
Speaker 2: features and Q and a's that were on some other
Speaker 2: releases in these states. And then again a one hundred
Speaker 2: and twenty page booklet with new essays by Raina Servantes,
Speaker 2: Sarah Miles, Sam Moore, James Rows, Rebecca Sace, and Michelle
Speaker 2: Swope and six more art cards.
Speaker 3: It doesn't even art cards, No, they're like character.
Speaker 2: She yeah, yeah, let's see, there's something off with her face.
Speaker 2: On the box. Yeah. I mean, even if the booklet
Speaker 2: cover was the cover of the box, I think it
Speaker 2: would have been a little bit better.
Speaker 3: Yeah, agreed, let's see.
Speaker 2: Steffino says, I'm sure alone, but I thought this one
Speaker 2: was better than this one was better than Triple X.
Speaker 3: Or are you saying than X is better than the
Speaker 3: Vin Diesel movie?
Speaker 2: I think not. Yeah, I love X is almost as
Speaker 2: good as Pearl in my opinion.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I have X and Pilot like that the same level.
Speaker 3: They're both really good.
Speaker 2: Nice. Josh talked with Bill about the commentary a few
Speaker 2: months ago. Any guesses on the label for the licensing
Speaker 2: for X, it is, we already know it. It's entertainment
Speaker 2: and Video and they've only released it on Blu Ray
Speaker 2: and that's the best you're getting, So good luck. It's
Speaker 2: not even a good label. It's not a good release.
Speaker 2: It's tripe. So yeah, that's it for Second Sight, and
Speaker 2: I will be the one before all the comments start
Speaker 2: saying it. Where's Possession? I have that question too. I
Speaker 2: have a feeling we will get that announced in not
Speaker 2: tomorrow but next Friday.
Speaker 3: Mother fuck it. I get to miss the Possession one.
Speaker 2: Great, Yes, yes you do. Terror Vision last Friday dropped
Speaker 2: their four K release of Happy Hell Night from nineteen
Speaker 2: ninety one. This is a Halloween filmed hollow that was
Speaker 2: not the word Halloween themed slasher from ninety one that
Speaker 2: is pretty damn good. This is Scannon restored in four
Speaker 2: K from the thirty five millimeter OCN. This is a
Speaker 2: two disc set with the four K and Blu Ray,
Speaker 2: both the region free. We've got Dolby Vision on the
Speaker 2: four we got a commentary with Amanda ray Is again
Speaker 2: and also Dan Budnick, her podcasting partner in crime, interview
Speaker 2: with Elis Sorry, Elvis Ristino, interview with Gay Bartolas, interview
Speaker 2: with Michael Nigrin, a full two K master presentation of
Speaker 2: the Code Red Blu Ray version that they put out
Speaker 2: years ago, and then brand new subtitles and some more
Speaker 2: extras on the way that we have not confirmed publicly yet.
Speaker 2: But you can pre order this now and this will
Speaker 2: be shipping with all of your thirteen weeks of Halloween
Speaker 2: stuff or November if you order it on your own.
Speaker 2: This movie's good. Have you seen this one?
Speaker 3: I have not. I hate that text, but other than that,
Speaker 3: I don't have an opinion on this.
Speaker 2: The font itself.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't like it at all. It looks like
Speaker 3: you know, do you remember I don't even know what
Speaker 3: it was on, maybe like Microsoft Paint or whatever, but
Speaker 3: like those really old like word graphics. Yeah, yeah, it's
Speaker 3: like one of those. I don't like that, it's all.
Speaker 3: Maybe it's like just because it's like the digital like
Speaker 3: copy of it though obviously because it's like a format
Speaker 3: that they've just like put the cover on or whatever.
Speaker 3: I assume it looks better when you actually.
Speaker 2: Have it, like on Always the release, Yeah Always. Next
Speaker 2: up is Doozy. November twenty sixth Imprint is releasing a
Speaker 2: wild mix of four K Blu ray and VHS in
Speaker 2: one package in Australia of Silent Night Deadly Night Parts
Speaker 2: one and two. So we've got one of their as
Speaker 2: they like to use the words heavy bespoke packages. And
Speaker 2: this is twenty four by thirty two centimeters. Weighs in
Speaker 2: at one point five kilos and for those of you
Speaker 2: that are not British, one point five kilos. How many
Speaker 2: American pounds is that? Krit? Do you know offhand? No?
Speaker 3: I only know real units.
Speaker 2: Sorry, if I remember right, it's about four and a
Speaker 2: half pounds literally, which is a shit ton comparatively. This
Speaker 2: is gonna be a massive release. This is gonna have
Speaker 2: three full color matt laminated twenty seven by forty inch
Speaker 2: folded posters. That's just for the first movie. I believe
Speaker 2: we've got at least one for the second one. Yeah,
Speaker 2: a full twenty seven by forty for the second one.
Speaker 2: A reproduction of the full press kit eight replica lobby
Speaker 2: cards with original production stills. A reprint of issue number
Speaker 2: one of the Silent Night, Deadly Night comic adaptation. A
Speaker 2: three D lenticular hard case to hold all four discs.
Speaker 2: And this is only gonna be pressed once, of course.
Speaker 2: And let's see extras on this are all extras that
Speaker 2: you've seen before, nothing new whatsoever. Disc one and this
Speaker 2: is the theatrical cut of Silent Night, Deadly Night on
Speaker 2: four K. Disc two is the theatrical cut of Silent Night,
Speaker 2: Deadly Night on Blu Ray. Disc three is Silent Night,
Speaker 2: Deadly Knight unrated cut on Blu Ray. And so that's
Speaker 2: the only way you're getting the unrated cut, not on
Speaker 2: four K. And then Disc four is Silent Night, Deadly
Speaker 2: Night Part two theatrical cuts. And then there will also
Speaker 2: be a VHS of the first film. H dear god,
Speaker 2: that's a lot.
Speaker 3: I don't know what the fuck you want me to
Speaker 3: say about this is stupid.
Speaker 2: Anything about a full kilo and a half release of Silent.
Speaker 3: Good Night, it's it's it's it's less than necessary. I think, yeah,
Speaker 3: I think we could. We could do more than missing
Speaker 3: a DVD, for sure, need to add a DVD. I
Speaker 3: think full Posters is awkward. We might as well make
Speaker 3: it five.
Speaker 2: Well, it's three from one movie and one of the
Speaker 2: second movie. That's even more awkward.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's that's right. I say we got three for
Speaker 3: the first, two for the second. Uh.
Speaker 2: And this is a quite pricey release for those of
Speaker 2: you in the US, which is very different currency than
Speaker 2: the Australian dollar right now, because Australian is quite more
Speaker 2: inflated than the US release. But you can pre order
Speaker 2: this right now from the US retailers that already have
Speaker 2: this up for one hundred and fifty three US dollars.
Speaker 3: Not worth how many fake dollars?
Speaker 1: Is that?
Speaker 3: Dingo dollars? How much is that?
Speaker 2: I think it's like three hundred dingo dollars.
Speaker 3: Jesus, Yeah, that currency is not real. What do you
Speaker 3: mean three hundred What kind of conversion is that?
Speaker 2: It just clicked? What we both just said? Oh sorry,
Speaker 2: it's two hundred and twenty dingo dollars and what they
Speaker 2: call it dingo dollar use.
Speaker 3: I don't know. The whole place is made up.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they should have done with Snow what they did
Speaker 2: for Dune. That would have been a good release, says Gary.
Speaker 2: That would have been interesting. It wouldn't have been two
Speaker 2: hundred and twenty Australian interesting, but it would have been interesting.
Speaker 2: All right, let's carry on before we all die of shock.
Speaker 2: This is such a funny way to word this. Radiance
Speaker 2: over in the UK has an answered replacement program for
Speaker 2: the Betrayal with this ominous looking bright red the Betrayal
Speaker 2: disc replacement program message. You can find out what is
Speaker 2: going on by reading this message, or I can tell
Speaker 2: you right now. They found out their audio commentary just
Speaker 2: starts at the wrong point on the disc, and they're
Speaker 2: willing to give everybody a brand new disc because of it.
Speaker 2: They have stopped shipping the title so that they can
Speaker 2: replace it. If you ordered it elsewhere, you can email
Speaker 2: info at Radiancefilms dot co dot uk and they will
Speaker 2: send you out a brand new disc right.
Speaker 3: I didn't know this was for a movie call The Betrayal,
Speaker 3: so I felt like they was just announcing this as
Speaker 3: a betrayal like program, like they betrayed the audience in
Speaker 3: some kind of way. That's quite I guess they did. Yeah,
Speaker 3: that's call of them. I guess it's nice.
Speaker 2: Yes, here we go. Def Crocodile announced they're full details
Speaker 2: of the October slate. Finally, this is stuff that we've
Speaker 2: been hyping up for quite some time, and I'm so
Speaker 2: stoked to be able to see both of these. These
Speaker 2: are both shipping near the end of October, and the
Speaker 2: first is a double feature of Al Rane and The
Speaker 2: Student of Prague. These are from nineteen twenty seven and
Speaker 2: nineteen twenty six, and they are silent films, obviously based
Speaker 2: on when they were released. They are both by what
Speaker 2: is the guy's name? I can't remember at the momentum,
Speaker 2: I don't remember, and it's not listed there because I
Speaker 2: couldn't fit everything because there's so many extras on this. Craig,
Speaker 2: I know you love to hear that Conrad Vite Is
Speaker 2: that his name? Nope, that's the star. I have completely
Speaker 2: failed you. I'm sorry this is a crazy looking release. Though. Yeah,
Speaker 2: that's beautiful single case with two discs, says Craig. And yes,
Speaker 2: incredible artwork by Dave McKean. On here, We've got two films.
Speaker 2: The first one is one hundred and thirty one minutes.
Speaker 2: The second one is one hundred and thirty three. See.
Speaker 2: I read that title and I see it there, and
Speaker 2: I didn't think that was his name, but it is.
Speaker 2: Henrique Galen is the director of both of these extras.
Speaker 2: We got a new video interview with Stefan Drousler of
Speaker 2: the Film Museum Munchin about the preservation of al Rne
Speaker 2: and the Student of Prague that was moderated by Dennis.
Speaker 2: We got a new audio commentary by Jan Christopher Horak,
Speaker 2: the former director of the UCLA Film and TV Archive
Speaker 2: in the Film Museum Munchin. We've got a new audio
Speaker 2: commentary on the second title or no, he does both
Speaker 2: of those, that's right. Then We've got new artwork by
Speaker 2: Beth Morris on the standards of course, like she always does,
Speaker 2: and then Fidelity Emotion as usual did the authoring. We
Speaker 2: got a new eighty page book with newly translated essays
Speaker 2: by Hans Heinz Ewers, Henrik Galen, and Felix Panton Reprinted
Speaker 2: essays from nineteen twenty eight, nineteen twenty nine, and nineteen
Speaker 2: ninety three. New essay by Stefan Drousler, new essay by
Speaker 2: Walt Chah, new essay by Stephen Bassett. Just absolutely ridiculous.
Speaker 2: This is incredible reservoir. Fellow wants to know. Has Deaf
Speaker 2: Crocodile ever released an American movie? Yes, actually quite a few,
Speaker 2: especially the most famous ones is Bill Plimpton. Their Bill
Speaker 2: Plimpton stuff is quite nice.
Speaker 3: He also did Fast and Furious right, only part three? Right,
Speaker 3: it's the best one.
Speaker 2: Fine, not US though, I mean it's US production, but
Speaker 2: was filmed in Tokyo of course. Yeah, Oh, Solomon King,
Speaker 2: that's the other one. That's right. I'm still laughing at
Speaker 2: Tokyo Drip.
Speaker 3: If Deaf Crocodile put on Togyo Drift, I'll buy every
Speaker 3: copy you have. My word.
Speaker 2: You heard it here, Craig, you gotta print ten thousand,
Speaker 2: make him pay.
Speaker 3: I'll do an audio commentary for it.
Speaker 2: He's just gonna he's gonna do Foley work. This guy's
Speaker 2: going all right. So that's the first release. The second
Speaker 2: one is right, here. This is Norbert Foffenviickler's two five
Speaker 2: five one trilogy. These are from twenty twenty one, twenty
Speaker 2: twenty three, and twenty twenty five, and these are wild.
Speaker 2: This paragraph here is probably the best way to write
Speaker 2: this out, and so I normally probably wouldn't read this
Speaker 2: entire thing, but it's kind of necessary because I think
Speaker 2: Dennis wrote this, and he is a mad genius for
Speaker 2: some of this copy and a lot of it he's
Speaker 2: got like memorized. But he says, imagine mad muck, Mad
Speaker 2: Max run amuck in the Moodor Museum, a nightmarish, subterranean
Speaker 2: world of superstition, magic and deformity, ruled by fear and oppression,
Speaker 2: and peopled with a spine chilling assortment of mutants and
Speaker 2: masked monstrosities, including faceless stormtroopers, parasites, nude figures, taxidermied monkeys,
Speaker 2: alchemist and other horrors. Welcome to the Welcome to the
Speaker 2: Unearthly Visions of Austrian artist and director Norbert Foffenbickler's two
Speaker 2: five to five one trilogy, a staggering combination of avant
Speaker 2: garde cinema, post apocalyptic sci fi, horror, monster action, dystopian,
Speaker 2: political nightmare, silent cinema techniques. All three of these movies
Speaker 2: are told with that dialogue with very different color tinting, endless,
Speaker 2: subterranean Labyrinth, Shot and Abandoned, World War Two Bunkers and Vienna, Myriad, Grotesque, mask,
Speaker 2: industrial and death metal music, The Brothers Qui Sorry, The
Speaker 2: Brothers Quai and Jans Fanckmeyer and Joel Peter Vitken and
Speaker 2: David Lynch all mixed together. Definitely not for the faint
Speaker 2: of heart. This is experimental filmmaking for fans of Silent Hill,
Speaker 2: Hellboy to Eraserhead, Mad God and Bigotten, The Cure and
Speaker 2: Bauhaus and Metallica, Luca Libre and unbelievably Charlie Chaplin. In
Speaker 2: other words, it's like nothing you've ever seen or dreamt
Speaker 2: of before.
Speaker 3: Sounds like a Nights in Florida. This sounds great. Never
Speaker 3: had of any of this shit, but it actually sounds
Speaker 3: really fucking sick.
Speaker 2: Gary is saying nothing to matters much, but does actually
Speaker 2: have a narrative or is it just a bunch of
Speaker 2: weird stuff? It genuinely does have a narrative.
Speaker 3: Actually, is I like that? Less?
Speaker 2: Well? It is a narrative told through very experimental filmmaking.
Speaker 2: Very good, very good. The art on this is remarkable.
Speaker 2: As usual, def Crocodile always has some of the best art.
Speaker 2: Here is the standard art on this one. Now for
Speaker 2: the extras on this, this is a four disc set
Speaker 2: for three films. They had to like really start to
Speaker 2: take a look at what they could even accept for
Speaker 2: this release because the discs were getting so damn full.
Speaker 2: This is a wonderful, wonderful release. And if you're even
Speaker 2: remotely skeptical, that's not a word skeptical about buying this.
Speaker 2: I would watch the trailer that they released for this
Speaker 2: because it is quite good. So on this we've got
Speaker 2: seven experimental short films by the director. We've got four
Speaker 2: new video interviews. We've got uh, let's see new interview
Speaker 2: with Foffen Bickler discussing his avant garde films. We've got
Speaker 2: a new visual essay by me and doctor Will Dotson
Speaker 2: on the first film two five one point zero. It's
Speaker 2: it's it's really fun. We talk about the Charlie Chaplin
Speaker 2: influences quite a bit. There is a visual essay by
Speaker 2: Stephen Brumer, who is the experimental filmmaker out of Canada
Speaker 2: that works on Black Zero, the Experimental Film label. He's
Speaker 2: like the voice to talk about these films, so I'm
Speaker 2: so glad that he's involved in this. We've got new
Speaker 2: commentaries by Sheila Rowan legg by e Eva litt or
Speaker 2: No I Believe and Golden, and then Mike White from
Speaker 2: the Projection Booth podcast. There's a featurette on Jam of
Speaker 2: the Dan behind the scenes of two five five to
Speaker 2: one point zero three. There's some bts like visual effects reels.
Speaker 2: There's deleted scenes, soundtrack scores, three new trailers, all kinds
Speaker 2: of stuff. I probably even missed one putting it on here.
Speaker 2: And in fact, I think there's another visual essay from
Speaker 2: another filmmaker that I don't see listed. So yeah, I
Speaker 2: probably just did not have enough space and I skipped it. Sorry, Craig,
Speaker 2: let's see Dingo Boy says two five to five one
Speaker 2: trilogy is not a rom com. Well, I mean, in
Speaker 2: a couple scenes it gets never mind, I've said too much. Yeah,
Speaker 2: this is a crazy month for deaf Crocodile highly recommend
Speaker 2: checking both of these out. The big thing Craig is
Speaker 2: reminding me to bring up that the painting the original
Speaker 2: painting for this box art is going to be on
Speaker 2: sale on the de Crocodile website next Friday. It is
Speaker 2: it's pricey because JG. Jones is an acclaimed comic book artist,
Speaker 2: but he usually charges five thousand plus dollars for the
Speaker 2: painting and it's a pretty big painting too. He's he's
Speaker 2: charging about half price, so this will be two five,
Speaker 2: five to one dollars on the Deaf Crocodile website. Nice
Speaker 2: little tongue in cheek total there, and I love it.
Speaker 2: We're gonna be talking about that next week because it'll
Speaker 2: go up on sale. But if you're super into original
Speaker 2: art and you love this stuff, this will be on
Speaker 2: the Deaf Crocodile website to purchase next Friday for one
Speaker 2: lucky individual. It's it's the original painting itself, signed by JG. Jones.
Speaker 2: And that's audio.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Have you have you checked anything out from Death Crocodile?
Speaker 2: Probably not yet.
Speaker 3: Nope. I didn't mean for that to sound so dismissive.
Speaker 3: It's just usually they put out stuff I've never even
Speaker 3: heard of, and you're in the UK. It's it's I'm
Speaker 3: in the UK, which is, yeah, a bigger problem but
Speaker 3: this is probably the thing that they've put out that
Speaker 3: I'm the most interested in. Also, there was like something
Speaker 3: they put out a while ago and I keep the
Speaker 3: meaning to like circle back to it, and I can't
Speaker 3: remember what it is, but I feel like it was
Speaker 3: like an Irish folk horror.
Speaker 2: Uh, the Outcasts? That's it?
Speaker 3: Yes, it was that, which a beautiful movie too as well.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and we'll talk about that after. I'll tell you
Speaker 2: about The Outcast's. It's a great one and I think
Speaker 2: everybody should see. It's so good. Hey, I mentioned that
Speaker 2: I saw him this weekend. I did not like it,
Speaker 2: But if you're into it, there's a four K steal
Speaker 2: book up that you can pre order now. It'll also
Speaker 2: get a standard four K, a Blu ray, and a DVD.
Speaker 2: Those are all coming from Universal. We don't have a
Speaker 2: release date yet, but here it is. Did this interest
Speaker 2: you at all? Did you see the trailer? Did you
Speaker 2: see it?
Speaker 3: I saw the trailer and I was like, Okay, I
Speaker 3: think this movie is really highlighted that people don't know
Speaker 3: generally the distinction between a producer and a.
Speaker 2: Director, or that the studio itself is trying to con
Speaker 2: people into it though too.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I saw like so many people going like, what
Speaker 3: is Jordan Peele doing?
Speaker 2: Blah blah blah.
Speaker 3: Jordan Peele fell off, And I'm like, Jordan Peele didn't
Speaker 3: make this movie.
Speaker 2: But he is everywhere in the marketing, that's for sure.
Speaker 3: I will say, though, it must suck to be Jordan
Speaker 3: Peel because he wanted to get weapons and he couldn't
Speaker 3: get it, and he ended up getting this instead, which
Speaker 3: might be the worst trade in history for releases.
Speaker 2: It's a pretty bad trade, I gotta be honest. Wow,
Speaker 2: all right, so that is him. Next up over in
Speaker 2: the UK again screen Bound Pictures on November seventeenth, releasing
Speaker 2: a four K of Renaissance from two thousand and six.
Speaker 2: This is a movie that I had somehow never heard of,
Speaker 2: Sharks of quite a bit younger Daniel Craig. Yeah, limit
Speaker 2: did to a thousand copies, got a double sided posters
Speaker 2: and behind the scenes b roll featurette stuff like that. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I don't know anything about this movie and you were
Speaker 2: supposed to be the expert here create what happened.
Speaker 3: I don't like UK movies, that's.
Speaker 2: I do.
Speaker 3: I'm just listening even heard of it.
Speaker 2: I don't know what this is KB is asking what's
Speaker 2: an no card? That is the fancy way of saying slipcover,
Speaker 2: just to make everybody that only collects slipcovers go ooh,
Speaker 2: I need one of those.
Speaker 3: Brilliant Yeah.
Speaker 2: Hey. Another four K release coming from screen Bound on
Speaker 2: November three is Boston Kickout from two thousand, Yet another
Speaker 2: one that I have not seen. And we got multiple
Speaker 2: commentaries on this one with the brand new one with
Speaker 2: Mark Warren, some deleted scenes, making up storyboards, all that
Speaker 2: interesting stuff. This starring of very young Andrew Lincoln. So
Speaker 2: krit is very excited about another British.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I have no idea what this is either. I
Speaker 3: didn't even know Andrew Lincoln was British until I was
Speaker 3: like seventeen, so that.
Speaker 2: Was like nine months ago.
Speaker 3: I'm an old man now, Ryan.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I watched Love actually when I was like seventeen eighteen,
Speaker 3: and I was like, ah, the guy from the Walking
Speaker 3: Dad's English. That's so fucking weird. But yeah, I've never
Speaker 3: never heard of this. I'm sure it's okay.
Speaker 2: I love that. Everybody in my generation was like, whoa,
Speaker 2: the guy from Love actually is doing it? Horror, how
Speaker 2: the turntables. Let's keep going, well, go USA on November eleventh,
Speaker 2: is releasing a blu ray of the brand new Scott
Speaker 2: Atkins film, which is supposedly pretty great, called Prisoner of
Speaker 2: War from this year. Are you a Scott Atkins guy.
Speaker 3: I'm not a massive Scott Atkins guy, but what I
Speaker 3: have seen, I have generally liked that just none of
Speaker 3: it has like stood out as like amazing. It's all
Speaker 3: just kind of stood outs as pretty good.
Speaker 2: You don't historically talk a lot about martial arts, so
Speaker 2: that's uh, I was curious about that.
Speaker 3: Actually, I am a big martial arts movie guy.
Speaker 2: Not a ton of the visual essays as well.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, and because I'm gonna get killed for this.
Speaker 3: But generally there's not a lot of interesting things to say. Yeah, Like,
Speaker 3: you know, I Bruce Lee movies. I love Bruce Lee
Speaker 3: movies and all Jackie Chan movies, Michelle Yo, and I
Speaker 3: love like the whole Woosha sub genre and stuff, But like,
Speaker 3: there's not a lot to say about most of them.
Speaker 3: What you can say about like five minutes of that
Speaker 3: movie can apply to the entire movie. So no, it's
Speaker 3: it's hard to talk about them. But I did talk
Speaker 3: about Enter the Dragon in my top one hundred video,
Speaker 3: which is no longer in my top one hundred anyway,
Speaker 3: but still the way the Dragon is though, So they're
Speaker 3: still a Bruce Lee movie in there.
Speaker 2: Good movies, good movies. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 2: Next, we got a batch of announcements that lit the
Speaker 2: internet on.
Speaker 3: Sorry, it's like so early, I've not figured out the
Speaker 3: filter thing yet, you know.
Speaker 2: It's so funny though, Oh man, you're like somebody in
Speaker 2: Kent without their chips inside joke. That was terrible. Sandpiper
Speaker 2: Pictures putting out re releases of a bunch of stuff
Speaker 2: released by other labels previously with no changes, exact same
Speaker 2: discs with new cover art. I'm glad they're going to
Speaker 2: be in print, but don't get very excited about these releases.
Speaker 2: They're not going to be high quality or anything.
Speaker 3: We don't worry. Don't worry. I'm not jumping out my
Speaker 3: state for Monikin. I'm Blair R. I don't worry.
Speaker 2: But a lot of people are, genuinely, a lot of
Speaker 2: people were very excited about this. To be fair, you
Speaker 2: did just stand up out of your seat. So Mannikin
Speaker 2: for eighty seven is the first one getting a release.
Speaker 2: All of these are coming on December second. By the way,
Speaker 2: next title is Zapped that has not aged nearly as
Speaker 2: well as Scott Bao, which he aged terribly. So yeah,
Speaker 2: that tells you a lot. No, they chose this actively
Speaker 2: to sell it. I guarantee it. Yeah, this is not
Speaker 2: a great movie. Next up Dirty Work. Even though Vinder
Speaker 2: Syndrome put out oh yeah, literal definition of the best
Speaker 2: that you could possibly release for Dirty Work this year,
Speaker 2: they said, you know what, let's release the theatrical cut
Speaker 2: on Blu ray again.
Speaker 3: This is the one I'm getting.
Speaker 2: Oh fun, what is this? Uh yeah. Then they're putting
Speaker 2: out Stage Coach. No, not that stage Coach, the other one.
Speaker 2: Oh also not that stage Coach. No, this is the
Speaker 2: one from nineteen eighty six, the third of the stage
Speaker 2: Coach films, and uh, Chris, Yeah, it's a it's a
Speaker 2: wonderful cast. You got Willie Nelson, Johnny cash Waylon Jennings. Yeah,
Speaker 2: check it out. All coming on December tewod. Like I said,
Speaker 2: they're also putting out Stephen King sometimes they come back
Speaker 2: from nineteen ninety one on Blu ray yet again, and
Speaker 2: then Undercover Blues from nineteen ninety three one with Kathleen Turner,
Speaker 2: Dennis Quai, but the big one. I have not seen
Speaker 2: one of my posts on Facebook pop off like this
Speaker 2: one has popped off in a long time. They are
Speaker 2: putting out Robert Townsend's The meteor Man from nineteen ninety three,
Speaker 2: the highlight quote, question mark quote of the black superhero
Speaker 2: craze of the Kazam and Steel days. You get the
Speaker 2: meteor Man. This is a big deal for some people.
Speaker 2: To be fair, this has been going for over one
Speaker 2: hundred dollars on eBay. To be able to get this
Speaker 2: on Blu Ray for retail price is a real wonderful thing.
Speaker 2: I'm glad this is coming out. I just wish they
Speaker 2: had a better, better release of this coming. Yeah.
Speaker 3: I don't know what is medium on.
Speaker 2: I don't care, all right, I am done with Sampiper.
Speaker 2: These are these are not great?
Speaker 3: Whoa some pipe up.
Speaker 2: Eighty eight Films has delayed surprised their Heart of Dragon
Speaker 2: four K release in the UK from September twenty ninth
Speaker 2: to October twenty seventh, as they usually do. Eighty eight
Speaker 2: Films is rarely on time, but hey, they've been doing
Speaker 2: good stuff this year, so can't really complain too much.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I just picked up Pocasa con complaint.
Speaker 2: True, true, but things we can complain about that are
Speaker 2: happing over in the UK. November tenth, they are releasing,
Speaker 2: not they eighty eight films. They Studio Canal releasing a
Speaker 2: four K A blu ray and DVD release of the
Speaker 2: New Avengers series one and two from nineteen seventy six
Speaker 2: and seventy seven. To be fair, the art on these
Speaker 2: look wonderful because they're done by the amazing Sam Smith.
Speaker 2: But these are obnoxiously overpriced for a four K release
Speaker 2: of this. You can see this, It is ten discs.
Speaker 2: Did you see how much this is going for? I
Speaker 2: did not on the UK. You should go look that
Speaker 2: up right now, krit and tell me if you would
Speaker 2: pay that much at a new event you'r Series one
Speaker 2: and two on four K four K.
Speaker 3: The one hundred and fifty pounds Great British pounds.
Speaker 2: One hundred and fifty GBP is what this is going for.
Speaker 2: That is a lot of money.
Speaker 3: That is not okay. It's just not okay. Not to mention,
Speaker 3: by the way, it's not even comic accurate. Look at it.
Speaker 2: That took me a second. Oh that was pretty funny. Yeah,
Speaker 2: So this is this is a lot, and they do
Speaker 2: have extras on literally everything. I'm glad that these are
Speaker 2: going to be loaded releases, and I think Imprint likely
Speaker 2: will be doing something with this. It will be much
Speaker 2: cheaper because it's Imprint, sadly, but that being said, this
Speaker 2: is very pricey for a set like this, and I
Speaker 2: fear that Studio Canal is gonna lose a lot of
Speaker 2: money on this one. God that's three one hundred and
Speaker 2: six Australian dollar US.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Again, it's made up, so it doesn't really count, right,
Speaker 3: They just make up a number for anything.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's a lot. Yeah, this is this is
Speaker 2: a big deal. Studio Canal like this set looks wonderful.
Speaker 2: It doesn't look one hundred and fifty pounds wonderful. No,
Speaker 2: all right, Hey. On November seventeenth in the UK, November
Speaker 2: eighteenth in the US, we are getting a four k
Speaker 2: of Out of Africa from nineteen eighty five, Rest in
Speaker 2: Peace to Robert Redford. Is this one that you've seen before?
Speaker 3: Krit No, I just it troubles me. I have no
Speaker 3: idea what this is. I've never seen it, but the
Speaker 3: title and the two stars is breaking me out alone.
Speaker 3: So I'm gonna withhold judgment until I find out what
Speaker 3: the fuck this is about.
Speaker 2: I'd normally ask you to expand on that, but instead
Speaker 2: I will read you the synopsis. Exquisite intelligent romantic drama
Speaker 2: based on the life of Karen Blixen or Blixen, was
Speaker 2: the most highly acclaimed film of his this time directed
Speaker 2: by Sidney Pollock. The film brilliantly captures time and place,
Speaker 2: with super performances by Meryl Street, Robert Redford and Brandour,
Speaker 2: sumptuous photography, and a rich musical score. Out of Africa
Speaker 2: follows the true life story of Karen Blixen, an amazingly
Speaker 2: strong willed woman who moves from Denmark to run a
Speaker 2: coffee plantation with her philandering husband in Kenya around nineteen fourteen.
Speaker 2: To her astonishment, she soon discovers herself falling in love
Speaker 2: with the land, it's people, and a mysterious adventurer and idealist.
Speaker 2: Does that help you feel better about it?
Speaker 3: A little bit? Sure? Woll not? Fuck it?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Interesting?
Speaker 2: Yes, you got a commentary by Ciddy Pollock on it.
Speaker 2: And there's a making of documentary some deleted scenes in
Speaker 2: the trailer. Big, big time score on this one. John Barry,
Speaker 2: well known for this and uh yeah, it's a huge cast,
Speaker 2: big director, good movie. Here we go. Next up Kenot
Speaker 2: putting out the Gracie Allen murder Case from nineteen thirty nine.
Speaker 2: This is gonna have a new audio commentary by Bernie
Speaker 2: procop and some subtitles, and that is it. M yeah,
Speaker 2: know nothing about this one. Carrying right along, Eden from
Speaker 2: this year is getting a Blu ray release in the
Speaker 2: US on November eleventh from Vertical Entertainment, no extras, as
Speaker 2: far as I can tell, did you get to Eden yet?
Speaker 3: I did get to see Eden?
Speaker 2: And how did you feel about it?
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's all right, It's cool, like it's it's it.
Speaker 3: It's got good performances, it's got an interesting backstory met
Speaker 3: like know about these actual people. But then I can't
Speaker 3: forgot everything that happened after a week.
Speaker 2: I will say I went into this expecting to hate it,
Speaker 2: and I was pleasantly surprised. Like, if you look at it,
Speaker 2: I've been calling it a camp soap opera film. On
Speaker 2: that level, it is quite enjoyable. It's full of drama,
Speaker 2: it's full of Anidoramus screaming, it's full of melodramatic acting.
Speaker 2: It's not a bad story and it's inspired by a
Speaker 2: shockingly true story. If you get out like me and
Speaker 2: you're like, oh, I want to find out what actually happened,
Speaker 2: and you go, oh no, they pretty much just told
Speaker 2: the actual story. Oh my god, I'm horrified. Yeah, it's
Speaker 2: a pretty crazy one. Yeah.
Speaker 3: I wanted to see how accurate it was, so I
Speaker 3: was like, oh, is there like a YouTube video about this?
Speaker 3: And the only one I could find is like two
Speaker 3: and a half hours. So I was like, I don't
Speaker 3: care enough. The movie's fun enough. I guess it was
Speaker 3: almost too and FLF Yeah, I'll take its word for it.
Speaker 2: Speaking of Sydney Sweeney and the Eden, December first, the
Speaker 2: UK is getting a Blu ray of the Sweeney series
Speaker 2: three Yeah, nineteen seventy six, shocking, quite immaculate looking reference
Speaker 2: to her filmography. We've got restoration behind the scenes that
Speaker 2: you can check out on YouTube that I linked here.
Speaker 2: I watch this for a here and that's pretty interesting. Actually,
Speaker 2: The Sweeney supposedly looks really great on Blu Ray. If
Speaker 2: you're into it, check it out now. This has been
Speaker 2: a really funny post to see people respond to This week.
Speaker 2: Goooby Doo on Zombie Island is getting another Blu ray
Speaker 2: release from Warner Brothers on October twenty eighth. It got
Speaker 2: one last year, but it was packaged with the sequel,
Speaker 2: and everybody seemingly said, I don't want that shit in
Speaker 2: my house, the sea garbage. I'm not both the Island
Speaker 2: and now they're putting this out and it's got the
Speaker 2: brand new Terror Time Edition. It's going to have a
Speaker 2: O card slip cover that is a reference for KB there.
Speaker 2: It is an O card. It's gonna have a clear
Speaker 2: Blu ray case for everybody that loves the clear ones.
Speaker 2: It's gonna have interior artwork. It's gonna have a chapter
Speaker 2: list inside. Oh yeah, they're listing those a special feature.
Speaker 2: So it's really funny. There's an audio commentary by Scooby
Speaker 2: historian Matt Dugan.
Speaker 3: He sounds like a Scooby Doo historian, doesn't he.
Speaker 2: Matt Dougan. Twelve page collectible booklet with the images and
Speaker 2: essay written by Matt Dugan, of course, And it's got
Speaker 2: this limited packaging. And then I laughed so hard. They
Speaker 2: are listing as a special feature it's Terror Time Again
Speaker 2: plays on the disc.
Speaker 3: Menu special Is it not a feature.
Speaker 2: That being said, this thing popped off when I posted this.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, people share this, yeah easy, Lots of
Speaker 2: people are buying this on Amazon. You can check it out.
Speaker 2: What's funny is this cost more than the one that
Speaker 2: came with the sequel, and people are buying this in droves.
Speaker 2: So check out Scooby Doo on Zombie Island if you've
Speaker 2: never seen it. It's amazing. Traumatize your kids with it.
Speaker 2: It's very good.
Speaker 3: I get I will pay more to not have this sequel.
Speaker 2: I got that exact comment, I think ninety one times. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Uh man. There's a lot of UK stuff tonight for you.
Speaker 2: November tenth, there is a blu ray from Kaleidoscope Entertainment
Speaker 2: in the UK coming of Irvine Welsh. Reality is not
Speaker 2: enough from twenty twenty five. Do you know anything about
Speaker 2: this person? Because when I saw this picture I thought
Speaker 2: that was Tobin Bell. I have no idea that man
Speaker 2: is so. Irvine Welsh is at a crossroads. After experiencing
Speaker 2: the huge success of several film adaptations and six million
Speaker 2: books sold worldwide, he must be an author. He has
Speaker 2: become acutely aware of his own mortality. Now with this
Speaker 2: hedonistic Day's drawing to a close, the outspoken author decides
Speaker 2: to explore the boundaries of consciousness through a psychedelic DMT trip. Basically,
Speaker 2: let's watch this guy get super high and talk about it.
Speaker 3: I think it's funny because he's old. I think it
Speaker 3: works better because he's old.
Speaker 2: He's the train spotting author. Hello. Oh. He also wrote
Speaker 2: helth as well.
Speaker 3: Never really I watched the adaptation of felf though.
Speaker 2: That checks out Next up October twenty eighth. We got
Speaker 2: a blu ray coming in the US from music Box.
Speaker 2: A familiar touch from last year that I had some
Speaker 2: people that I know that saw this and said it
Speaker 2: was quite good. This is going to have a roundtable
Speaker 2: cast conversation presented by Carrying across generations. There's a creative
Speaker 2: process featurette a conversation with Sarah Friedland Q and a
Speaker 2: with Kenley Kathleen Chalfont from Jacob Burns Film Center. There's
Speaker 2: behind the scenes image gallery, all that stuff. This one
Speaker 2: will not be released through Ocen. Music Box just releasing
Speaker 2: this outside of that model. Yeah, familiar touch, check it out?
Speaker 2: You an anime person.
Speaker 3: Crit No, not at all real.
Speaker 2: I have never even heard of this one show.
Speaker 3: Sorry, that was me, I'll tell you that box six.
Speaker 2: People in the chat are commented. December ninth, Sentai Filmworks
Speaker 2: is releasing Azumonga Dio Complete Collection. I probably said that incorrectly.
Speaker 2: This will have English and Japanese language versions with the
Speaker 2: English subtitles, and there's gonna be a couple extras because
Speaker 2: they're doing the clean opening animation and clean closing animation
Speaker 2: and some production sketches.
Speaker 3: Cool.
Speaker 2: Sure. Next up the Barbarians getting an identical release from
Speaker 2: Keno Lorber that they just put out a couple of
Speaker 2: years ago. I say, a couple it's been since December
Speaker 2: first of twenty twenty, but this is coming out on
Speaker 2: November twenty fifth. It'll have a slipcover. I think that's new.
Speaker 2: But other than that, good movie, you should check it out,
Speaker 2: like this one is.
Speaker 3: Actually very very fun, Okay, I'm in sure.
Speaker 2: Stars the Barbari brothers and Michael Berryman from the original
Speaker 2: Hills Have Eyes.
Speaker 3: I say that that's what sold me.
Speaker 2: More britishisms. Tonight December ninth, there's a blu ray coming
Speaker 2: here in the US from Magnolia of Rabbit Trap from
Speaker 2: this year being British. Have you seen Rabbit Trap yet?
Speaker 3: Never even heard of it. So.
Speaker 2: Rabbit Trap is a film starring Dev Patel, who is
Speaker 2: a musician with his I believe it's yeah, it is
Speaker 2: his wife. They're brand newly married and they're out in
Speaker 2: the middle of nowhere, maybe near Kent, without their chips
Speaker 2: and they are they're making music in this r random
Speaker 2: ass British cottage. It's the nineteen seventies, I think was
Speaker 2: what they say in the film. And it's basically like
Speaker 2: an experimental horror film of them kind of losing it.
Speaker 2: There's a young person that shows up at their door.
Speaker 2: Weird things start to happen. There's a couple weird scenes
Speaker 2: of like people bleeding yellow, like bright yellow, like almost
Speaker 2: gold blood. It's an interesting movie. I don't think it
Speaker 2: worked for me, but I'm not upset having seen it.
Speaker 2: I'm also stoked to have been able to see this
Speaker 2: in a theater, I will say though, because this is
Speaker 2: based around music and like walking through the English countryside.
Speaker 2: The sound in this is superb. If you do get
Speaker 2: a chance, watch this very loud. The sound design on
Speaker 2: this is amazing and depthtel He's kind of incredible and everything.
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, of course, yeah, this didn't get a theatrical release.
Speaker 3: Name me, that's too bad.
Speaker 2: Maybe eventually this looks truly awful. You can buy this
Speaker 2: now on Blu Ray. It's a BDR unfortunately or fortunately
Speaker 2: of Mutilator two from twenty twenty three. This is a
Speaker 2: quasi sequel to the original one, and it's supposedly just
Speaker 2: one of the worst absolute dogwater films of all time.
Speaker 2: If this cover art doesn't convince you, this is the
Speaker 2: actual back of the Blu ray, well now I must
Speaker 2: own it. They're charging like twenty five dollars.
Speaker 3: I love the screenshot of the copyright m that's so funny.
Speaker 3: That's that's like it's like one of the screenshots I
Speaker 3: put into like a video. That's it's awful.
Speaker 2: Oh that's really funny. Yep, yeah, this is uh, Paul says,
Speaker 2: imagine Imprint doing a Mutilator to Despocus set. Oh geez, yeah,
Speaker 2: this is this is not a good looking set. I
Speaker 2: see what silent manipals saying. Why does small lady grab
Speaker 2: onto big hair. It looks like she's hugging a microscopic strand.
Speaker 3: Of a little vocal. I love just the like keying
Speaker 3: out like it's not even been done all the way
Speaker 3: it's yeah, terrible.
Speaker 2: It's it's not great looking. I didn't know Pizzel had
Speaker 2: a cameo Reggie. That's interesting, So yeah, mutilator to check
Speaker 2: it out if you're into some sadism or masochism, not
Speaker 2: sadism masochism. Speaking of bespoke sets, from Imprints, December tenth,
Speaker 2: they are releasing a giant set for Kill Bill Volumes
Speaker 2: one and two. Again they're using the words this is
Speaker 2: a heavy bespoke collector's item, twenty four by thirty two
Speaker 2: centimeters ways in at one point five kilograms, including a
Speaker 2: full color matt laminated twenty seven by four twenty seven
Speaker 2: by four to three folded reprint of both theatrical one
Speaker 2: sheets and the theatrical posters for both films. That's a lot.
Speaker 2: A large format color photo booklet featuring original production stills,
Speaker 2: six large format lobby cards with original production stills, two
Speaker 2: hard cases housing all four of the discs, and zero
Speaker 2: new extras. Nothing whatsoever that's.
Speaker 3: New for solid mandible. That's about ten bananas.
Speaker 2: And we were talking earlier about price. Obviously, the Silent
Speaker 2: Night Deadly Night is very expensive at two hundred and twenty.
Speaker 2: I don't even remember the currency we made up, but
Speaker 2: DOLLARUS the kill Bill two hundred Australian DOLLARUS, and that's
Speaker 2: still a lot.
Speaker 3: It's too much. It is too much, Yes, absolutely, it's
Speaker 3: fall too much. There is I promise you there is
Speaker 3: not a single release of any movie that you could
Speaker 3: ever possibly put out that would make me pay that much.
Speaker 2: So here's the thing, like, this has never had a
Speaker 2: four K release in Australia, so I'm glad it's coming out. However,
Speaker 2: it is cheaper to literally import the US four ks
Speaker 2: than to buy this set.
Speaker 3: It's ridiculous. I'm all right, it's so silly. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Lots of questions, of course about why isn't this the
Speaker 2: whole Bloody Affair? Why isn't this the Japanese cut of
Speaker 2: Kill Bill Volume one? Just so everybody's aware if you're
Speaker 2: listening to this, watching this later. Quentin Tarantino has stated
Speaker 2: until he gets the rights back, that will never be released.
Speaker 2: He wants it to be an event thing at his theater,
Speaker 2: and the rights do not go back to him until
Speaker 2: the year twenty fifty three. We will not be getting
Speaker 2: an actual legitimate home video release of The Whole Bloody
Speaker 2: Affair from both Kill Bill films until at least twenty
Speaker 2: fifty three. Good Yeah, here we go, more britishisms. Good lord.
Speaker 2: November twenty fifth, We're getting a four K box set
Speaker 2: from Kena Larber of the Alec Guinness Masterpiece collection. This
Speaker 2: has kind hearts and coronets, The Lavender Hill Mob, The
Speaker 2: Man in the White Suit, and The Lady Killers for
Speaker 2: Stone Cold Classics. Specifically, The Lady Killers is genuinely a masterpiece.
Speaker 2: Glad these are all coming out in a full release.
Speaker 2: All of these have extras, All of these have great
Speaker 2: looking releases. These do have Dolby Vision and HDR Bowl both.
Speaker 2: Both the cases on these are gonna have two discs each.
Speaker 2: Looks like an absolutely wonderful set. Yeah, any any thoughts
Speaker 2: on on the set or else.
Speaker 3: It's missing a new hope. But I have seen The
Speaker 3: Lady Killers and yeah, it's a great movie, is brilliant.
Speaker 3: It's a shame that his his memory is one of
Speaker 3: just the Star Wars guy. Yeah, you know that stinks.
Speaker 3: It's kind of like, you know, when any Harry Potter
Speaker 3: actor dies, it's just like, oh yeah, Harry Potter actor
Speaker 3: Maggie Smith, right, and you're like, what the what the.
Speaker 2: Fuck are you talking about she's only ever made eight movies.
Speaker 3: It's so stupid, and yeah, it's a shame. So I'm
Speaker 3: glad this is doing a little bit like kind of rebutta.
Speaker 2: Yes, uh, and only one of these had had a
Speaker 2: four K release in the US before, so this is
Speaker 2: this is a really good chance to pick up all
Speaker 2: of these. Actually, uh, umbrella. They announced a lot of stuff,
Speaker 2: So January fourteenth are the release dates for these. The
Speaker 2: first one we have is the Toxbox. This includes the
Speaker 2: Toxic Avenger from eighty four, Toxic Avenger Part two, The
Speaker 2: Toxic Avenger Part three, Citizen Toxic, the Toxic Avenger Part four,
Speaker 2: and the Toxic Avenger from twenty twenty three. We've got
Speaker 2: a forty eight pach booklet, a behind the scenes material
Speaker 2: and new essays by Jack Sargent and David Michael Brown,
Speaker 2: eight art card, three reversible posters. It is a limited
Speaker 2: edition numbered release if you get the Big Box. The
Speaker 2: first four films don't have any new extras. The brand
Speaker 2: new movie in this one has a new commentary with
Speaker 2: Making Blair, new interview with Making Blair. They got the
Speaker 2: unrated and radioactive Comic Con International featurette Behind the scenes,
Speaker 2: extended Toxic Environment FEATURETTE, Meet the Cast FEATURETTE, Toxic Crusaders FEATURETTE,
Speaker 2: and a brand new trailer, and that is it. Yes,
Speaker 2: our special feature that we did for the new Toxic
Speaker 2: Avenger is not on this one yet, but I am
Speaker 2: talking to Umbrella and trying to get it in there
Speaker 2: so we shall see. Toxic Shock might be a part
Speaker 2: of it eventually. Still working on it. Toxic Adventure. Are
Speaker 2: are you a toxi guy at all? I'm not.
Speaker 3: I'm excited for the new one. It was in my theaters,
Speaker 3: I believe, but it was like for like two days,
Speaker 3: so I didn't even know until it was like too late.
Speaker 2: But I want to be. I want to be.
Speaker 3: I've you know, I've seen the source material, but I've
Speaker 3: never actually seen the old movies.
Speaker 2: So it's pretty it's pretty fun, very non PC, but
Speaker 2: in a in a campy fun way for sure.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm done, So.
Speaker 2: Check that out. January fourteenth, we're already getting twenty twenty
Speaker 2: six announcements. Holy shit. January fourteenth, they're also doing the
Speaker 2: Infernal Affairs trilogy on four K. This is a this
Speaker 2: is a big title for them. I'm glad they're putting
Speaker 2: us out. This is going to be a solid release.
Speaker 2: This will have a forty eight page book behind the
Speaker 2: scenes material with new essays by Andrews, Jonathan Clements, and
Speaker 2: Grady Hendrix. Grady, of course one of the authors behind
Speaker 2: these fist break bricks. We've got a custom illustrated rigid
Speaker 2: case and disc wallet, eight art cards, two reversible posters,
Speaker 2: and it's a limited edition, numbered release. We've got a
Speaker 2: new commentary with Pierce Conran and James marsh on the
Speaker 2: first film and the second film and the third film.
Speaker 2: New interview with Andy Lao and Alan Mack on the
Speaker 2: second film and the third film. We've got a couple
Speaker 2: other things, like James Belmont on the many double identities
Speaker 2: of the Infernal Affairs trilogy. These are classic, amazing movies.
Speaker 2: This is the These are the movies that Tarantino stole
Speaker 2: from to make The Departed, and it shows they are
Speaker 2: Uarantine similar. Yeah, did I not say Tarantino?
Speaker 3: Tarantino didn't make The Departed?
Speaker 2: Whoops?
Speaker 3: Okay, that's school saying, are you okay?
Speaker 2: I literally was wearing a PERSESEI shirt earlier, he said confidently.
Speaker 3: I started to question whether I knew what I knew
Speaker 3: my bad.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's what inspired Scorsese. Wow. Yeah, I was thinking
Speaker 2: about Tarantino still because we just talked about him My Bad. Yeah,
Speaker 2: clearly Scorsese whoops. Yeah. But these are very very good movies.
Speaker 2: If you've never seen them, they're absolutely worth it. My
Speaker 2: brain broke. That's so good.
Speaker 3: I mean, I can see where it comes from because
Speaker 3: Tarantino basically steals for all of his movies.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so you know, it's literally just because we were
Speaker 2: just talking about him. Next, I mentioned KII Cult earlier.
Speaker 2: This is the volume two coming out. We got The
Speaker 2: Scarecrow from nineteen eighty two, We've got Jack Bi Nimble
Speaker 2: from nineteen ninety three, and we've got Crooked Earth from
Speaker 2: two thousand and one. Three films that I've not seen,
Speaker 2: although Jack be Nimble I did see. I think it
Speaker 2: was Altered Innocence released that a couple of years ago.
Speaker 2: I think it was them that put it out. I
Speaker 2: love the art style on these sets and again refilms
Speaker 2: that like hardly anybody has seen whatsoever. We got new
Speaker 2: extras on all of them, forty eight page booklet with
Speaker 2: new essays behind the scenes. These are really cool of consetts.
Speaker 2: Check it out cash Back from two thousand and six.
Speaker 2: Another one coming from Umbrella. This is also coming on
Speaker 2: January fourteenth. This one only Blu Ray have you seen
Speaker 2: this one? I've never I don't think I've ever even
Speaker 2: heard of this.
Speaker 3: No, I've never heard of this. It looks stope though.
Speaker 3: I really like the artwork.
Speaker 2: Yes, some interesting art on this one. This is from
Speaker 2: Sam Ellis, who also did the cut. This follows art
Speaker 2: student Ben Willis, who finds himself unable to sleep after
Speaker 2: a painful breakup. To pass the long nights, he takes
Speaker 2: a late shift at the local supermarket, where time seems
Speaker 2: to stretch endlessly amid fluorescent aisles and eccentric coworkers. Ben

Speaker 2: New audio guide, cash Back inspired short film by Chris Elena.
Speaker 2: Chris Elena speaks on the movie, and then we've got
Speaker 2: some archival extras. I want to see this, I would
Speaker 2: realize to see if this is cool.
Speaker 3: I have the concept too.
Speaker 2: I'm in reservoir, says middle school me. Love this movie
Speaker 2: because of a certain timestop scene. Let's see Mozart said,
Speaker 2: I remember this had a really popular song, cash Back
Speaker 2: is pretty great. The lead actress has so much chrisma
Speaker 2: in this movie. Nice cash Back sounds good. It's about
Speaker 2: a guy who can freeze time and as I recall,
Speaker 2: used that to disrupte women, hence the cover of the
Speaker 2: Blu Ray. Then that makes a lot of sense.
Speaker 3: There's a whole own genre about that.
Speaker 2: Now that's crazy has officially purchased the Blu Ray while
Speaker 2: we were talking. Next up, January fourteenth, we're getting a
Speaker 2: Blu Ray release of Tourist Trap. Yes, Tourist Trap, d
Speaker 2: Moon film from nineteen seventy nine getting yet another release.
Speaker 2: This will have the unrated cut and the alternate cut. Unfortunately,
Speaker 2: this will likely be the same presentation as done by
Speaker 2: Full Moon, which means it probably won't look all that amazing.
Speaker 2: It's just sort of what they can license. Right now.
Speaker 2: That being said, I I'm not a huge full Moon Guy.
Speaker 2: I think this is the best title associated with Full Moon.
Speaker 2: I adore this movie. Chuck Connors is creepy as shit
Speaker 2: in this movie. Fourty eight page book behind the scenes
Speaker 2: and new essays by Justin Beam and Nat Bramer. You've
Speaker 2: got the big collector's box on the outside. You've got
Speaker 2: eight art cards, versabile poster. New commentary by Natt Bramer.
Speaker 2: New interview with the actor Jocelyn Jones, New interview with
Speaker 2: the actor Jerry van Ness, New lost scenes from script
Speaker 2: to Screen. Jarrett Gahan speaks on Tourist Trap, and then
Speaker 2: from r Kival extras. I love this movie. If you've
Speaker 2: never seen it, highly recommend checking it out. Have you
Speaker 2: seen Tourist Trap ever?
Speaker 3: I have not, but it looks really fucking sick. I
Speaker 3: really like the artwork for this.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a fun art style. They're doing this for
Speaker 2: all of their Full Moon type of films, so it's
Speaker 2: nice to see it continue even though it's not part
Speaker 2: of one of their Full Moon box sets.
Speaker 3: You know, I'm like off work all next week and
Speaker 3: I was going to use that to catch up in
Speaker 3: a lot of movies. I've added Tourist Trapping cash back
Speaker 3: to like my little.
Speaker 2: List, Nice, very nice. Then January fourteenth, they're also releasing
Speaker 2: a blu ray of Wasabi from two thousand and one.
Speaker 2: I remember this movie being terrible, but it's been a
Speaker 2: long time, This says when a hard hitting French detective
Speaker 2: played by Jean Renau has dropped into Tokyo for the
Speaker 2: funeral of his long lost love. He brings fists, attitude
Speaker 2: and zero patients, but in a city where nothing is
Speaker 2: what it seems, he'll need more than brute force to
Speaker 2: uncover the truth. You got a forty eight page book
Speaker 2: on this, with new essays by Adrian Smith and Kieran Fisher.
Speaker 2: I got a hard box on the outside, new audio
Speaker 2: commentary by Camille Zorin, and then a new on Japan
Speaker 2: through with Sabi by Martin Catario, plus a bunch of
Speaker 2: archival extras. It's been a long time since I've seen
Speaker 2: with Sabi any thoughts of the chat. This doesn't seem
Speaker 2: like one KRIT has seen now. I gotta admit this
Speaker 2: poster does not instill much more confidence for me. Apasta sucks,
Speaker 2: silent manial says I love genre. No, I'm sad he's
Speaker 2: only in like two good movies that I've seen Reservoir
Speaker 2: says I miss the genre. No, yeah, I dick my
Speaker 2: pist everywhere. Let's a good comment, yeah with Sabby. Check
Speaker 2: it out if that's something you're into. And if you
Speaker 2: already have the four K box set of the Toxic
Speaker 2: Avenger films that was released in the US by Trauma,
Speaker 2: you can just buy the new one from Umbrella as
Speaker 2: the Collector's edition with all their exclusive extras and all
Speaker 2: that stuff. Good looking art on this. It's not fancy
Speaker 2: or huge or anything like that. It's much cheaper than
Speaker 2: that giant box. And also, if you've already got the
Speaker 2: Trauma release of the four K box that it's not
Speaker 2: worth it to rebte it because they're all the same discs,
Speaker 2: so you may as well just buy this one to
Speaker 2: compliment it. And that's nice, works nice. Eureka over in
Speaker 2: the UK once again has posted their announcements and we've
Speaker 2: got on December eighth, we've got a blu ray coming
Speaker 2: of Apache from nineteen fifty four starring Burt Lancaster. This
Speaker 2: is part of their Masters of Cinema line. This one
Speaker 2: is going to have a slipcover on it. And you've
Speaker 2: got Western scholar Jenny Barrett and the film writer Richard
Speaker 2: Combs speaks on this in the booklet You've Got a
Speaker 2: New Interview with Austin Fisher, the author of Radical Frontiers
Speaker 2: in the Spaghetti Western New interview with film historian Sheldon
Speaker 2: Hall on Robert Aldrich and the Western genre. And yeah, apatche,
Speaker 2: I've never seen this one. Not really my style. You
Speaker 2: and I have never talked much about westerns. Are you
Speaker 2: into this? Uh?
Speaker 3: Not really. I'm not a big western guy. But also
Speaker 3: I've not seen many westerns. I've seen like the spaghetti
Speaker 3: Westerns and a coroup of modern westerns, but like, yeah,
Speaker 3: not really. I have seen Apatri though, Oh interesting. What
Speaker 3: do you think my dad shouted me at when I
Speaker 3: was like, I don't know, ten eleven something like.
Speaker 2: That, remember it much? Since that was only like four
Speaker 2: years ago.
Speaker 3: I don't remember fucking anything about it. I do know
Speaker 3: that Charles Bronson's in it though, from the greatest scale
Speaker 3: and stuff, but that's pretty much.
Speaker 2: I like, no, all right, not too bad.
Speaker 3: Then.
Speaker 2: Then they're also putting out a triple feature of Samo
Speaker 2: Hung films. This is coming on December eighth in the UK,
Speaker 2: December ninth in the North America. We've got in here
Speaker 2: three films from seventy four, eighty eight and ninety and
Speaker 2: they are The Manchu Boxer to Sorry, Paper Marriage? Which one?
Speaker 2: Is it? The Manchoo Boxer to start them? That's not
Speaker 2: the title, The Manchu Boxer, Paper Marriage and Shanghai Shanghai.
Speaker 2: Those are I could not read what I typed early
Speaker 2: this morning. We've got on this a slip cover with
Speaker 2: new arwork by Sam Gilby, a new writing on Samoe
Speaker 2: Hung that is in the booklet. You've got an exclusive
Speaker 2: disc to this release which has the the what is
Speaker 2: what are they calling it here?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 2: Where did it go? Bonus disc exclusive to this set
Speaker 2: only presentations from Brandy two K restorations of the extended
Speaker 2: international versions of Manchu Boxer and Shanghai Shanghai. So if
Speaker 2: you want those international versions, you got to buy the
Speaker 2: limited release, otherwise you're only going to get that first
Speaker 2: disc in the standard version. Eventually, we got a new
Speaker 2: commentary with Frank Chang and Michael Worth on The Manchu Boxer,
Speaker 2: New commentary on Paper Marriage with Arnavenma and Domini Ting,
Speaker 2: New commentary on Shanghai Shanghai with Frank Chang and F. J.
Speaker 2: DeSanto and then a new interview with Alfred Chung. And
Speaker 2: this looks like a solid release, although I've heard the
Speaker 2: movies aren't too great. Have you seen any of these ones?
Speaker 3: No, I've heard of Shaghai Shanghai. Well, I've not seen
Speaker 3: any of them.
Speaker 2: All right, what about Sama Hung? I know you talked
Speaker 2: about martial arts into Sama Hung.
Speaker 3: Much Not really No, A bit underexposed dot com like
Speaker 3: comment too much.
Speaker 2: Either way, I totally get that. I've liked what I've
Speaker 2: seen him in. I think he's fun, He's a decent
Speaker 2: fight choreographer. Yeah. Quina Larber launched their fall sale just today,
Speaker 2: seven hundred and fifty titles on sale. Sale goes through
Speaker 2: October twentieth, and there is free shipping if you get
Speaker 2: at least sixty bucks or more. And this feels like
Speaker 2: a long time coming. I feel like the last Keno
Speaker 2: sale was gosh, something like May or June, and that
Speaker 2: feels like a very long time in between stuff for them.
Speaker 2: Not some of the titles that I was expecting to
Speaker 2: see in the sale, but still plenty to choose from,
Speaker 2: lots of great titles. My big reminder is when you
Speaker 2: go to this and you see either a couple things
Speaker 2: that you're into, or maybe you're under the free shipping threshold.
Speaker 2: Don't forget, it's not just the sale. They've got their
Speaker 2: wild supplies last section where stuff is going out of print,
Speaker 2: and all of that stuff is on sale too. You
Speaker 2: can get stuff like if you're, you know, four dollars
Speaker 2: under the free shipping threshold, there's movies going out of print,
Speaker 2: and you're probably gonna find one that's only like seven
Speaker 2: bucks and that'll get you right over that threshold.
Speaker 3: This graphic is hilarious.
Speaker 2: It's a weird one to make the cornerstone of your sale.
Speaker 3: Like, sure, why is I don't know why the twenty
Speaker 3: five is like underneath? Why wouldn't you just like make
Speaker 3: I guess like if the hull text like spread across
Speaker 3: the whole image, it would work.
Speaker 2: Well, it doesn't frame, it's to frame it. Maybe maybe
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 3: It's a weird graphic anyway.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not perfect. Anaconda from nineteen ninety seven is
Speaker 2: getting a four K steel book by Sony themselves, which
Speaker 2: means it will look very good. This will also probably
Speaker 2: be pretty expensive. It is going to have deleted and
Speaker 2: extended scenes for the first time. Ever, there's gonna be
Speaker 2: an interview with the director on here, interview with the
Speaker 2: co writer Hans Bauer. Now, the big thing, how do
Speaker 2: you feel about the cover of the steel Book.
Speaker 3: I don't fill anything.
Speaker 2: A lot of people seemed quite happy with it. A
Speaker 2: lot of people also seem quite sad or upset about it.
Speaker 2: My big thing is, uh, snakes don't have eyelids. That
Speaker 2: is not the eye of a snake on the cover
Speaker 2: of this.
Speaker 3: Interesting. I didn't even think of that. Yeah, it's like
Speaker 3: a gek.
Speaker 2: I was. Yes, I believe it is a gecko that
Speaker 2: is not at all an anaconda, let alone any snake.
Speaker 2: I don't think this is a very weird choice to
Speaker 2: make the cover of a steel book for anaconda.
Speaker 3: Well, so, like, they have tons of artwork ority present
Speaker 3: for this movie. Yes, they could have just used any
Speaker 3: of it.
Speaker 2: You could have just used the original poster and we've
Speaker 2: all have been very happy.
Speaker 3: And nobody would have been upset. Yeah. I don't think
Speaker 3: there's a single fun of anaconda thinking where's the original designs? Designs?
Speaker 3: Like you're a fan of anaconda, which means that you
Speaker 3: don't care too much about how shit looks.
Speaker 2: It does look like a crocodile eye a bit, and yeah,
Speaker 2: silent Mandible's right, he says. The snake in the movie
Speaker 2: did have a weird design, but I mean, come on,
Speaker 2: at least use a snake eye on the cover, hey,
Speaker 2: In the newest British News over in the UK, Paramount
Speaker 2: is releasing on December twod a big collector's edition of
Speaker 2: The Warriors from nineteen seventy nine. Yes, they let Arrow
Speaker 2: release The Warriors on four K in the US, but
Speaker 2: they said, no, screw you, We're doing it ourselves in
Speaker 2: the UK. And you can buy the set and get
Speaker 2: a rigid slipcase. You can get a capacity wallet. I
Speaker 2: don't know what that means. You can get a photo book,
Speaker 2: six art cards, two posters, two sticker sheets, and a
Speaker 2: collectible sign because everybody that is after The Warriors wants
Speaker 2: a collectible sign, right obviously. So my look at the
Speaker 2: back of this to get the specs. It looks like
Speaker 2: the four k's the theatrical version, and the blu ray
Speaker 2: is the awful director's cut that nobody likes, which isn't
Speaker 2: even the director's cut. The studio medaled with it. But
Speaker 2: that to say, if you like The Warriors and you
Speaker 2: don't have the arrow release. This is a perfectly fine companion.
Speaker 2: It looks like, how do you feel about The Warriors?
Speaker 3: Never seen it? I don't watch it on principle because
Speaker 3: everyone I've ever met has been the most annoying person
Speaker 3: in the world when you tell them you haven't seen
Speaker 3: The Warriors. So I just refuse to watch it because
Speaker 3: I don't want to be one of those people.
Speaker 2: That is maybe the most hipster thing I've ever heard.
Speaker 2: You say, Yeah, it's pretty pretty hipster.
Speaker 3: Maybe I'll get to it one day and just keep
Speaker 3: pretending like I haven't seen it, But.
Speaker 2: Can I just say it would be hilarious if you
Speaker 2: held on for that long, watched it and you're like, shit,
Speaker 2: this movie is perfect.
Speaker 3: No, and I'll turn it into one of those people.
Speaker 3: I'm kind of a film person, am I I'm a
Speaker 3: Denzel kind of question. If it's not Denzel, I haven't
Speaker 3: seen it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm trying to find an answer real quick on something.
Speaker 2: One second, there is a brand new book that just
Speaker 2: came out there it is It's called Armies of the Night,
Speaker 2: The Warriors and Its Legacy by Michael Gingold and Chris Paggiali.
Speaker 2: Everybody should check that out. It looks like a really
Speaker 2: solid book and would be a nice companion piece with this.
Speaker 2: If you have not checked it out, moving you know what,
Speaker 2: I'm going to share that link in case anybody is
Speaker 2: into it, because it still has the cardcover of version
Speaker 2: available on Amazon. Next up is another UK thing November
Speaker 2: twenty first, there is a four K release, a Blu
Speaker 2: ray and two CD release and a vinyl release coming
Speaker 2: of def Leopard Diamond Star Heroes Live from Sheffield from
Speaker 2: twenty twenty three. You're a giant def Leopard fan.
Speaker 3: Huh yeah, man, fucking Anne Sheffield. I guess.
Speaker 2: How far from Kent?
Speaker 3: Is that quite far?
Speaker 2: It's too bad?
Speaker 3: Yeah, well I say quite far probably, like in American measurements,
Speaker 3: it really isn't that far, Like I would say it's
Speaker 3: like four or five hours away, which yeah, so an
Speaker 3: American is like, oh that's like yeah, that's like pretty
Speaker 3: much half the code tree away.
Speaker 2: So the four K for this, it does have a
Speaker 2: live performance. You got seventeen tracks on here. If you're
Speaker 2: in a deaf Leopard. This is their first four K release,
Speaker 2: So check it out if you like photograph yeah, uh,
Speaker 2: if you don't like def Leppard and you like the opera.
Speaker 2: Mercury Studios is putting up Pavaratti live from nineteen ninety five.
Speaker 2: This is three decades after this was done. And uh,
Speaker 2: this has been being worked on for quite some time.
Speaker 2: This year would have been his ninetieth birthday on October twelfth,
Speaker 2: and they're they're keeping a promise that they held to
Speaker 2: him because he came back after he made promise to
Speaker 2: go perform here. And they've been working on this for
Speaker 2: the longest time. This is like a lost concert and
Speaker 2: supposedly really great. This is one genuinely I would love
Speaker 2: to hear and see if possible. Yeah, Pavarotti, I am
Speaker 2: a Pavaratti guy, big into opera, Not.
Speaker 3: Really, I just uh, once I bought like a whole
Speaker 3: watt of vinyl from like, well, not a dead guy,
Speaker 3: but like someone who knew a dead guy, and there's
Speaker 3: like three Pavaratti things in there, and I put in
Speaker 3: my really like him.
Speaker 2: So yep, I think that was the funniest way you
Speaker 2: could have said. From my mate Jimmy knows this guy Tom,
Speaker 2: He's he's dead.
Speaker 3: There was a dead guy that was sacri into Pavaratti.
Speaker 2: Uh, speaking of the UK again, Jesus, It's all about
Speaker 2: you tonight, coming soon on four K steal book Here
Speaker 2: in the US can also get a Blu ray and
Speaker 2: a DVD. Does not look like there's going to be
Speaker 2: a standard four K. From dcal of Spinal Tap to
Speaker 2: the end, continues, Are you a Spinal Tap fan? Not really.
Speaker 3: I'm a big Rob Rainer fan for sure, but Spinal
Speaker 3: TAP's not really my thing. I feel like it's definitely
Speaker 3: like a generations thing, like what it's what it's kind
Speaker 3: of parodying doesn't really exist anymore then, it's true, and
Speaker 3: I didn't grow up where it did exist, so it's like, yeah,
Speaker 3: it's parodying a thing that I just never saw or experienced,
Speaker 3: so like it has its moments, but like not to
Speaker 3: the point where I feel culturally attached to it.
Speaker 2: Did you see the sequel yet? No?
Speaker 3: I saw that. You saw it? Though?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it's worth watching. It's not special. It's
Speaker 2: nowhere near the power of the first one, but it's
Speaker 2: it's it's got a lot of funny moments. I do like,
Speaker 2: oh gosh, I'm not gonna remember her name off hand.
Speaker 2: We were talking about Taskmaster before we went live. Somebody
Speaker 2: from Taskmaster is. She plays a pretty big part in this,
Speaker 2: and now it's gonna bug me unless I go find
Speaker 2: out her name real quick. It is home.
Speaker 3: It's just like Kent is very right. By the way,
Speaker 3: I'm not from Kent.
Speaker 2: It's really funny that that keeps popping up now.
Speaker 3: I'm very very far from Kentuck.
Speaker 2: Kerry Godlman she is in this. She is a UK comedian. Huh.
Speaker 3: I don't even know how you spell that shit.
Speaker 2: Oh that woman. Yeah, she's on She's on a bunch
Speaker 2: of the panel shows, just like all the other comedians.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I never knew her name. I just like to
Speaker 3: see her around. She's in like a lot of wreckage
Speaker 3: of based stuff.
Speaker 2: So it's true. It's true.
Speaker 3: Thanks.
Speaker 2: Next up, more UK releases. December fifteenth, Blu Ray release
Speaker 2: from eighty eight films of Don't Open Till Christmas from
Speaker 2: nineteen eighty four. This, of course, will be a part
Speaker 2: of their Slasher Classics collection. Have you seen Don't Open
Speaker 2: Till Christmas? No, it's a pretty good one actually. Vinegar
Speaker 2: Syndrome has already put out a pretty heppy release of
Speaker 2: this in the US, but if you don't have it yet.
Speaker 2: This one looks like a pretty nice release as well.
Speaker 2: A commentary Troy Howarth and Eugenio or Kilani, some interviews
Speaker 2: on here one with Kim Newman, who's always interesting to
Speaker 2: look at and hear from. Carolyn Monroe is on this
Speaker 2: one as well, and then some trailers.
Speaker 3: You know, I'm like a big horror guy, and I
Speaker 3: don't think I've seen like any horror like Christmas movies.
Speaker 3: I've not seen like Black Christmas or anything cool remake
Speaker 3: of it yet, none of them. I haven't seen any
Speaker 3: of them.
Speaker 2: That is a lot.
Speaker 3: Wait, isn't it?
Speaker 2: It is pretty weird, very funny. Next up is Takashi
Speaker 2: Mike's film Over Your Dead Body from twenty fourteen, coming
Speaker 2: from Oh Yeah Over in the UK on December fifteenth.
Speaker 2: This is a part of their japan Archy collection. Have
Speaker 2: you seen this one? Then? I have? Yes. This is
Speaker 2: shockingly good and somehow like overlooked. I feel like in
Speaker 2: his stuff because everybody always goes to the giant titles.
Speaker 2: This movie is quite well done. Hopefully you're not gonna
Speaker 2: be like, yeah, I think it should, but no.
Speaker 3: It's great. The thing with me K is that like
Speaker 3: ninety percent of his catalog is going to be overlooked
Speaker 3: because he puts out about, you know, fifty movies a year,
Speaker 3: so it's like it the main ones always get picked up.
Speaker 3: But like to go complace on me K is such
Speaker 3: a task.
Speaker 2: Nah, impossible.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so like you are gonna miss a bunch of
Speaker 3: whatever he releases, no matter how much you try. But
Speaker 3: this one is so good. And this is the thing
Speaker 3: about me Ka as well, considering how much like he
Speaker 3: puts out his bat and average is incredible. Yeah, for
Speaker 3: such a prolific director, he rarely misses.
Speaker 2: I agree.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but yeah, this one's great.
Speaker 2: Brendan says, I've only seen around sixty Mek films. We
Speaker 2: got a commentary with Tom mess on this one, which
Speaker 2: should be great, which I think that commentary was also
Speaker 2: on the Shout release of this that came out like
Speaker 2: five years or actually it probably came out earlier than that.
Speaker 2: It might not be on there, but uh yeah, this
Speaker 2: is a good movie. Check it out if you've never
Speaker 2: seen it. Meek is pretty great. Noodle says, I've only
Speaker 2: seen one or two of his What are the favorites
Speaker 2: of Meks?
Speaker 3: You got any titles you want to call out for? Me,
Speaker 3: K right, give me a sec. I'm gonna have a
Speaker 3: quick look because I'm going to miss something can be
Speaker 3: really upset.
Speaker 2: The three big ones that most people are going to
Speaker 2: go to are each of the Killer.
Speaker 3: Audition in thirteen Assassins is like a big one.
Speaker 2: I would have said that's the fourth one. Visitor Q
Speaker 2: is the third one. I was going to say, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: I'm trying to think Graveyard of Honor masterpiece.
Speaker 3: Though Graveyard of Honor is really good. There's one I'm
Speaker 3: trying to remember, Crows zero Crows zero Yeah, from like
Speaker 3: two thousand and seven or eight. It's a really really
Speaker 3: good movie. It's one of my favorite Mek movies.
Speaker 2: One is called classic definitely one that everybody happiness of
Speaker 2: the categories is a must watch for a lot of
Speaker 2: people if you're into that that style. It's so good.
Speaker 3: Rainy Dog, Rainy Dog's really good. Yeah. But someone just
Speaker 3: said throughout in audition noodles, Yeah, audition. But if you've
Speaker 3: seen like no Mek movies auditions like the one, I
Speaker 3: think that will Eachy the Killer.
Speaker 2: Uh, this is a weird call. He did a short
Speaker 2: film called Midnight that I think is on Netflix right now.
Speaker 2: If I remember, right, and it came out last year
Speaker 2: and it's like fifteen minutes, I think fifteen twenty minutes.
Speaker 2: It's shockingly well made. But don't expect like a great
Speaker 2: story or anything like that. But it's really fun to watch.
Speaker 2: And if it's not, if it's not on Netflix, it
Speaker 2: should be on YouTube.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I'm not saying that it's it's very style. I mean
Speaker 2: it's BK, so yeah, of course it was gonna be stylish,
Speaker 2: but it's very good. The big thing with him is
Speaker 2: his stuff is gory. I mean, look at this cover.
Speaker 2: His stuff is usually gory. His pactics are usually great.
Speaker 2: It's it's good stuff. Check it out like Each of
Speaker 2: the Killer specifically, if you've never seen Each of the Killer,
Speaker 2: for what he does for Gore in that movie, it's
Speaker 2: it's wild. And the audition is just creepy as shit.
Speaker 3: Well, auditions great. I remember when we was doing it
Speaker 3: was the last time I was on and it's doing
Speaker 3: unconventional rah Mons movies. For Valentine's Day, an audition was
Speaker 3: one of mine. I remember, like distinct, it's one of
Speaker 3: my favorite moments from being on here. It's like top
Speaker 3: three where like I remember saying audition and then watching
Speaker 3: your face that it came out. He was not solf
Speaker 3: at all.
Speaker 2: I was not ready for that. I love the back
Speaker 2: to back of these comments. Laife says I loved his
Speaker 2: Masters of Horror episode, and then Adam says his Masters
Speaker 2: of Horror section was horrible. Oh man, all right, so
Speaker 2: that is over your dead body. That is coming. Like
Speaker 2: I said on December fifteenth in the UK and then
Speaker 2: December fifteenth in the UK, December sixteenth in the US,
Speaker 2: Eight eight Films is doing Saga of the Phoenix. This
Speaker 2: is a sequel to The Peacock King, which eight eight
Speaker 2: Films is also releasing only in the UK for that one.
Speaker 2: So I have a feeling somebody else has it here
Speaker 2: in the US, and that'll probably be coming out soon.
Speaker 2: This one has a commentary with Frank Jang and FJ
Speaker 2: de Santo. We got an image gallery and then alternate
Speaker 2: Japanese footage in this one.
Speaker 3: Nice.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've never seen this one or The Peacock Ing. Actually,
Speaker 2: I've been wanting to see The Peacock King for a while. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Sorry, I've not seen either, but the Peacock King has
Speaker 3: been on my watch list for a while.
Speaker 2: Let's go through pretty quickly because we don't have all
Speaker 2: the details on all of these, but Air forty four.
Speaker 2: Forty four is putting a shit ton of stuff up
Speaker 2: for pre order tomorrow. This will be available at one
Speaker 2: pm Eastern, so you are looking at thirteen and a
Speaker 2: half hours from now. These first few are going to
Speaker 2: be very specific titles. And then we got some box
Speaker 2: sets and stuff. So we got a Blu Ray coming
Speaker 2: from them of Countdown from twenty twelve. This is a
Speaker 2: tie thriller. You've got new artwork on this. You've got
Speaker 2: a new booklet, new stickers that are coming with this
Speaker 2: reversible artwork, Blu Ray sleeve. You've got this heavy duty
Speaker 2: slip cover. You've got some promo videos and some other
Speaker 2: like music videos and stuff like that. This thing is
Speaker 2: thirty six bucks just for this film. Then the second
Speaker 2: release is a release of Challenge of the Lady Ninja
Speaker 2: from nineteen eighty three. This is one that they had
Speaker 2: announced previously that they were doing. I'm glad this is
Speaker 2: coming out finally. This is one I'm actually pretty interested in.
Speaker 2: This one is from legendary Taiwanese martial arts filmmaker Liso Nam.
Speaker 2: This is going to have a chip Board Collector's Edition
Speaker 2: Blu Ray box set limited to fifteen hundred units with
Speaker 2: new artwork, twenty page booklet with essays by Jessica Young
Speaker 2: and Michelle Kisner, three new stickers, a double sided eighteen
Speaker 2: by twenty four poster reversible art, and then a new
Speaker 2: two K restoration, new interview with the director or new
Speaker 2: intro by the director, new trailer compilation, a new audio
Speaker 2: commentary by Justin d'clue and Dylan Chung, new audio commentary
Speaker 2: by Kenneth Broson and Paul Fox, and this will be
Speaker 2: region free. This one is forty six dollars, so a
Speaker 2: little more pricey than that first one. And yeah, I'm
Speaker 2: certainly interested in this one for sure. Then comes the
Speaker 2: box sets. First up, we've got art of the Devil
Speaker 2: one through three. These are from two thousand and four,
Speaker 2: two thousand and five, and two thousand and eight. These
Speaker 2: are buried in like tie black and white magic type
Speaker 2: of films. You've got new art on here. You've got
Speaker 2: three stickers, double sided poster, reversible sleeve. This one is
Speaker 2: a hundred bucks. And we don't have everything, I don't think,
Speaker 2: but we got some. So we've got new interviews with
Speaker 2: the director new intro up. I think that might be
Speaker 2: from the last release and they copied it onto this
Speaker 2: announcement because I don't think those are supposed to be
Speaker 2: on here. This release, though, is one that I'm looking
Speaker 2: forward to. I was not going to get this one,
Speaker 2: but I actually had a meeting today with Arna Venema,
Speaker 2: and Arna told me about something that they did for
Speaker 2: this box set and it sounds insane. So they are, uh,
Speaker 2: they are gonna have a Siam black Magic video that
Speaker 2: they did. There's a visual essay by Horrible Reviews. There's
Speaker 2: an archival making of and a trailer. Yeah, these extras
Speaker 2: that were listed here were from the past release and
Speaker 2: they've now updated it, thankfully. But this this release looks
Speaker 2: absolutely wild and uh, they're they're kind of under selling
Speaker 2: what they got in that black Magic visual essay if
Speaker 2: if you do watch it. Supposedly there's even a like
Speaker 2: viewer Discretion as advised card that comes up just for
Speaker 2: a visual essay, which is pretty crazy. Any of these
Speaker 2: so far? Interesting? You this one.
Speaker 3: Not one hundred dollars interesting, but interesting?
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is this is a weird, weird box set.
Speaker 2: But yeah, one hundred bucks for this for this full
Speaker 2: box set three films, lots of extras, which is wild
Speaker 2: considering the previous release that we just covered is forty
Speaker 2: six bucks for one film and it's about the same
Speaker 2: number of extras. Anyways, we'll talk about money in just
Speaker 2: a minute, because that's still something to discuss. Then the
Speaker 2: other thing they're doing is this box set, which is
Speaker 2: one hundred and twenty dollars of the Nami collection, which
Speaker 2: just came out recently from Third Window Films in the UK,
Speaker 2: and this has essentially all the same films with possibly
Speaker 2: some different extras. They've not even listed out all of
Speaker 2: the extras on these, but this one is one hundred
Speaker 2: and twenty bucks and it's four films, so it's a
Speaker 2: little bit more. You are going to get the big
Speaker 2: chipboard box set. You've got limited slip covers that fit
Speaker 2: in the box set. You've got some art cards, you've
Speaker 2: got double sided posters, booklet with two essays. But yeah,
Speaker 2: one hundred and twenty bucks. And then their sub label
Speaker 2: that we talked about last week, they are putting out
Speaker 2: two front teeth. This is coming from their new line
Speaker 2: called Phantom Transmission. This one is thirty bucks. It's coming
Speaker 2: with three stickers, a double sided slip cover and a booklet.
Speaker 2: This is a Christmas horror film from two thousand and
Speaker 2: six that the the reviews on this look pretty abysmal.
Speaker 3: I will say they need to get a new graphic designer.
Speaker 2: You don't love it. A lot of people like the
Speaker 2: art on the on all these this time.
Speaker 3: No, the art's fine. I mean just for this like
Speaker 3: release announcement.
Speaker 2: Oh got it, like all the all the arrows and yeah,
Speaker 2: I get it. Chasis, Yeah, it's a it's a little messy.
Speaker 2: I don't know why they went with the like shrubbery
Speaker 2: background of this one and like.
Speaker 3: The blue shot of.
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, yeah, I get it. So if you want
Speaker 2: all of them ten films, this is a three hundred
Speaker 2: dollars bundle. Essentially, if you buy the full bundle, you're
Speaker 2: getting that two front teeth film for free because it
Speaker 2: saves you about thirty bucks. But three hundred dollars is
Speaker 2: a lot for this full set. You you look constipated.
Speaker 2: Pass Okay, so I pass. I get it. I'm not
Speaker 2: going to stand up for them. I will say, I
Speaker 2: love the air forty four forty four guys, but they
Speaker 2: just had a lot of trouble getting three films sent
Speaker 2: out that were on pre order for legitimately like eight months,
Speaker 2: and to put ten films on pre order in one
Speaker 2: day is this calling stretch would be really underselling it.
Speaker 2: I would not have a lot of confidence buying this
Speaker 2: whole bundle from them tomorrow thinking I would get these
Speaker 2: before the end of the year. Obviously that seems nigh impossible,
Speaker 2: especially because they've not even announced a ship date on
Speaker 2: this yet, so that's kind of wild. That being said,
Speaker 2: I do kind of want two of these, so I
Speaker 2: will I will think about it. But one hundred and
Speaker 2: fifty bucks for those two things is a lot of money.
Speaker 2: A lot of money, all right. Hey, last thing I
Speaker 2: was gonna say is about me. Actually, I am going
Speaker 2: to be trickling out some teases and announcements here soon.

Speaker 2: see for a bit. Now, have you seen that one yet?
Speaker 2: That seems like a movie KRIT might have watched? Now,
Speaker 2: all right, I guess that's pretty much it, other than
Speaker 2: Shakespeare's ship Storm on four K from Trauma.
Speaker 3: Finally, some good movies.
Speaker 2: Other than the Life of Chuck. Anything here that you
Speaker 2: feel like you're gonna have to purchase?
Speaker 3: Not really? What did Wes Anderson do to the CEO
Speaker 3: of Criterion?
Speaker 2: Well?
Speaker 3: At what's going on here? Like, I look, I like
Speaker 3: Isle of Dogs Boys again a.
Speaker 2: Criterion because it's Wes Anderson.
Speaker 3: Stinks? Think it Like, there's so many like great movies
Speaker 3: that should be on Criterion, and it gets given to
Speaker 3: fucking Isle of Dogs and the French Dispatch, you know,
Speaker 3: a Nightmare on Elm Street. Actually, no, I take that back,
Speaker 3: there's no point.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 3: Creep Show two.
Speaker 2: Creep Show two is a masterpiece, I agree.
Speaker 3: And Creep Show two I think that's pretty much the
Speaker 3: only thing here that really grabs me.
Speaker 2: Gary is asking what is King Kung Fu? We talked
Speaker 2: about that on the show a couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 2: But this thing sounds amazing if you've never heard of it.
Speaker 2: It says a remote monastery in China has trained a
Speaker 2: talking gorilla, yes, a talking gorilla called King kung Fu
Speaker 2: in the ancient art of kung Fu. Having mastered as
Speaker 2: fighting seals, King Kung Fu is sent to America to
Speaker 2: demonstrate the power of Chinese martial arts to the West.
Speaker 2: As he's traveling through Kansas, a pair of bumbling reporters
Speaker 2: sees KKF King Kung Fu and decides he can be
Speaker 2: their ticket to fame and wealth. Of course, the gorilla
Speaker 2: gets away from them, and soon everyone is chasing the
Speaker 2: shaolin simion.
Speaker 3: Okay, I take it back. I'm interested in that in
Speaker 3: Creepshaw too.
Speaker 2: It sounds like a fun release.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that sounds amazing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that is it for announcements. So now we
Speaker 2: get to talk a big thing tonight, Denzel. Oh my god.
Speaker 2: And we've only been two hours and fifteen minutes already,
Speaker 2: so now it's gonna be a late night. So tell
Speaker 2: us about Denzel. Why Why is he? Why is he
Speaker 2: one of the best?
Speaker 3: Uh? Because he is. I have a video about that
Speaker 3: exact topic, and I don't remember a single thing I
Speaker 3: said in it, but I'm sure it's more articulate than
Speaker 3: I'm going to be now. But I just think just
Speaker 3: pure screen presence. He blends into any type of role.
Speaker 3: There's like this weird thing I've heard lately where people
Speaker 3: just say, like, Denzel just plays Denzel in movies, and
Speaker 3: I think that is just such a fucking bizarre thing
Speaker 3: to say about someone like Denzel, who has like such
Speaker 3: a vast career of different types of roles, different types
Speaker 3: of movies. You know, he's known as a leading man,
Speaker 3: but he plays secondary very very well, and even when
Speaker 3: he is a supporting actor, he steals the show completely.
Speaker 3: He has like a theatrical presence to him. I mean
Speaker 3: he's always said, like an interviews and stuff, you know,
Speaker 3: he feels like he's a stage actor, not a film actor,
Speaker 3: because like the stage is an actors medium, where his
Speaker 3: film is a director's medium. But he brings that like
Speaker 3: theatricality to his movies. A lot of the times when
Speaker 3: he's performing, it feels like he's on the stage. He
Speaker 3: feels like there's an audience there, and you feel like
Speaker 3: you're watching someone on stage, like you are just so
Speaker 3: captured by the performance in that moment that you kind
Speaker 3: of forget you're watching a movie. And yeah, there is
Speaker 3: not a single actor like him. I don't like in
Speaker 3: half of the things that Denzel Washington and does. I
Speaker 3: don't think he could be replaced by a different actor
Speaker 3: and do anywhere near as well.
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't think I could argue with that
Speaker 2: at all. He absolutely owns every single role that he's in.
Speaker 2: He is He's one of those people that are like
Speaker 2: the last of the Capital Ms movie stars. Yeah, he
Speaker 2: is up there with the Tom Cruise and the Brad
Speaker 2: Pitts and the Leo DiCaprio's and that's in that realm.
Speaker 2: That's probably it, like literally those four people right now. Yeah.
Speaker 3: The thing is like because whenever I say Denzel's the great,
Speaker 3: these people always like chuck someone else out in there.
Speaker 3: You know, someone always chuck out, like a Daniel day
Speaker 3: Lewis or Leonardo DiCaprio, Robert Niro, Alpatuna. People love throwing
Speaker 3: like these people out. But like there are times where
Speaker 3: I watch any of them in a movie and I
Speaker 3: know that there is someone else that could be in
Speaker 3: this movie instead, where like they might not have done
Speaker 3: quite as good a job. Maybe like say Daniel day
Speaker 3: Lewis and will be Blood, But Daniel day Lewis and
Speaker 3: that will be Blood is not the only actor that
Speaker 3: could have accomplished that role, right Whereas like I feel
Speaker 3: like a lot of the times someone else could have
Speaker 3: stepped in for Denzel in some of these roles, but
Speaker 3: the quality drops significantly, you know, like if you have
Speaker 3: Malcolm X, and Malcolm X, you know is replaced like
Speaker 3: DENZAO for someone else. You know around that time, that
Speaker 3: movie is nowhere near as good as it is nowhere near.
Speaker 3: And yeah, I feel like that's the same for a
Speaker 3: lot of the stuff that he's in.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he is great in pretty much everything. We were
Speaker 2: talking this, talking about this before we went live. But
Speaker 2: he is one of those people that roughly around like
Speaker 2: the early nineties, he hit that point where he could
Speaker 2: just make choices on what he was going to be
Speaker 2: in and he has had that the entire time. And
Speaker 2: based on that, he is now not making as many decisions.
Speaker 2: He has made his money. He gets to continue to
Speaker 2: make the choices that he wants to make, rather than
Speaker 2: feeling like he has to make them. And based on that,
Speaker 2: he's in a lot less things nowadays, and honestly, probably
Speaker 2: not a bad thing. I wish some other people would
Speaker 2: make that same choice.
Speaker 3: I know he does a lot of stage stuff now,
Speaker 3: like he stays on broad like doing Othello and stuff
Speaker 3: like that. He loves doing Shakespeare, so that's where he
Speaker 3: is like generally. But yeah, it's kind of crazy. But
Speaker 3: I think that kind of kind of came about because
Speaker 3: I think people quickly realize that, no matter the quality
Speaker 3: of the movie itself, if Denzel is in the movie,
Speaker 3: there is always something to grab onto. I have seen
Speaker 3: all fifty six of this man's work, all fifty six
Speaker 3: and can tell you, even in the abysmal movies, he
Speaker 3: is doing a great job. I don't I don't think
Speaker 3: there's a single Denzel movie where he does not deliver impeccably.
Speaker 3: And that's something that like producers and stuff can hang
Speaker 3: on to because it's like if your movie's coming out
Speaker 3: and you you know, as a producer or a director
Speaker 3: or whatever, that is maybe not the best thing. If
Speaker 3: you know Denzel's in it, you know you have at
Speaker 3: least one thing an audience is going to hook onto. Yeah,
Speaker 3: so that very early on allows him to make so
Speaker 3: many decisions about like what he's on, what he you know,
Speaker 3: what he's in he was in obviously he's in training day,
Speaker 3: but there was a he had the Pull at that
Speaker 3: time to change the director he came in and the
Speaker 3: original I can't remember who was said to direct it,
Speaker 3: but he basically just was like I want Antoine food
Speaker 3: Quad to direct this, and there was like okay, and
Speaker 3: they just brought in Anton Fuqua instead. So, yeah, insane
Speaker 3: amount of Pull.
Speaker 2: Fifty six films. You've seen them all. You just mentioned abysmal. Obviously,
Speaker 2: we're not gonna be talking about the abysmal films tonight.
Speaker 2: Are there a couple that you think that you could
Speaker 2: name that are just truly bad movies even though he
Speaker 2: may not be bad in them? Yes, which ones? Let's
Speaker 2: hear it?
Speaker 3: Carbon Copy? It is atrocious. It's the worst film he's
Speaker 3: ever been and it's terrible. It's about this wealthy white
Speaker 3: guy who finds out that he has a black son
Speaker 3: and it destroys his life and he ends up having
Speaker 3: to go and live in the ghetto. Yeah, so that's terrible.
Speaker 3: There's for Queen and Country where he does a British
Speaker 3: accent and it's not good. Yeah, it's not a good accent.
Speaker 3: It's a good performance, but that the accent's rough, So
Speaker 3: that's not great at all. Yeah, virtuosity is not very
Speaker 3: good either in concept, it should be great, should be amazing,
Speaker 3: even you know, Russell Crowe. Denzel in like a weird
Speaker 3: futuristic like sci fi movie, but it's it, it's fine.
Speaker 3: And then he's in like a bunch of TV movies, right.
Speaker 3: So there's like Wilma, which is his first movie from
Speaker 3: seventy seven, which you can only see on like YouTube
Speaker 3: in one four p but I did it and he's
Speaker 3: only in it for like five minutes as well, so
Speaker 3: that's great. Flesh and Blood, which is like a four
Speaker 3: hour TV movie about a boxer who's in an incestuous
Speaker 3: relationship with his mother. It stars Tom Berenger and the
Speaker 3: supporting has Denzel and John Casavedi's and it's not great.
Speaker 3: And yeah, there's a bunch more. There's like Heart oh right, yeah,
Speaker 3: Heart Condition as well. Heart Condition is not great. It
Speaker 3: has Bob Hoskins who's a racist and he hates Denzel Washington.
Speaker 3: But Denzel dies and Denzel for some reason is stuck
Speaker 3: like as a ghost that haunts Bob Hoskins who's racist
Speaker 3: the whole time. It's not it's a weird fucking movie anyway. Yeah,
Speaker 3: there's a bunch but like he's still great in pretty
Speaker 3: much all of them. So there's that.
Speaker 2: So tonight we're going to be going back and forth,
Speaker 2: ranking one through ten, discussing these. We didn't discuss this beforehand.
Speaker 2: Do you want to do it if the other person
Speaker 2: has it up higher? Do you want to wait and
Speaker 2: have us both talk about it then, or do you
Speaker 2: want to discuss at each of our places?
Speaker 3: I don't mind.
Speaker 2: All right, well, let's hear your number ten first. We're
Speaker 2: gonna go through this and again, just to warn everybody,
Speaker 2: Krit and I like to break these down when we
Speaker 2: do this, so good luck, be along for the ride,
Speaker 2: and here we go.
Speaker 3: I'll behave.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 3: So I have the physical releases for the ones that
Speaker 3: I have, and at my number ten, I do have
Speaker 3: a physical release for it is Man on Fire, directed
Speaker 3: by Tony Scott. Okay, every film in my top ten,
Speaker 3: by the way, is a ten out of ten. I
Speaker 3: have all of these at five stars. They're all perfect movies.
Speaker 2: So in other words, this was very difficult for Krit
Speaker 2: to do.
Speaker 3: This was so upsetting because like even at like in
Speaker 3: my ranking at twenty twenty is like a nine out
Speaker 3: of ten. Jeez, so like my twenty of his cry
Speaker 3: Freedom like it's so.
Speaker 2: And we're splitting hairs at that point. Yeah.
Speaker 3: So yeah, at ten is Man on Fire Tony Scott,
Speaker 3: have you seen the rotten tomatoes for this movie?
Speaker 2: No? Oh, are you about to upset me?
Speaker 3: Have a guess?
Speaker 2: Uh with you saying that it's probably lower than I
Speaker 2: was expecting. So I'm gonna say, like fifty eight thirty nine, ah,
Speaker 2: thirty nine, see, and it should be like an eighty two.
Speaker 3: Right, Ryan's right, by the way, he Hoskins does get
Speaker 3: the heart transplant from Denzel that's correct. Yeah, it's been
Speaker 3: a while since to watch Heart Condition. Oh dude, watch
Speaker 3: watch Man on Fire. Yeah, thirty nine percent is outrageous
Speaker 3: for a Tony Scott movie. That is everything Tony Scott.
Speaker 3: It has like the sweaty kind of schizophrenic editing. The
Speaker 3: the color palette for it is very burnt orange. And yeah,
Speaker 3: it's it's a remake first of all. In turn of
Speaker 3: Scott did a few of those, like two thousands, like remake.
Speaker 3: He did like the Taking a Palm one two three
Speaker 3: as well with Denzel, which I also really like. It's
Speaker 3: not in my top ten, but I also really like
Speaker 3: that movie. Just to put it out there.
Speaker 2: Also.
Speaker 3: Strangely, I think that is one of the only movies
Speaker 3: where I think someone out acted Denzel. I think Travolta
Speaker 3: in The Taking Appellan one two three is so wonderful.
Speaker 3: He is like out of his fucking mind in that movie.
Speaker 3: That like, I think he got it more than Denzel
Speaker 3: got it. Like anyway, he's great with Dakota Fanning is
Speaker 3: like so good in that movie. It is Dakota, right,
Speaker 3: not Elle. I think it's Dakota. Yeah, it is Dakota. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I always get the mixed up on my fiance. I
Speaker 3: guess really upset at me.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: She is such a wonderful child actor. And yeah, her
Speaker 3: performance in this is so heartbreaking. If people don't know
Speaker 3: what it's about, It's about Denzel who's a drunk, which
Speaker 3: he plays a lot, and he's a bodyguard for a
Speaker 3: little girl who gets kidnapped and he goes on like
Speaker 3: a revenge quest to get her back. It's like John Wick,
Speaker 3: but better. It's got Christopher walk in it. Mickey Rourke
Speaker 3: when like Mickey Rourke was like an actual good actor,
Speaker 3: better looking too far better looking. Yeah, and yeah, it's
Speaker 3: it's just a wonderful time. The action is top tier.
Speaker 3: It's Tony Scott. Like everyone mentions because Denzel has a
Speaker 3: really good relationship with a lot of directors like Antoine
Speaker 3: Fuqua and and stuff like that. But everyone mentioned Spike
Speaker 3: Lee like Spike Lee and Denzel a like the Crowning Two.
Speaker 3: But I think Tony Scott and Denzel were like a
Speaker 3: much better pair. I think that the Spike Lee one
Speaker 3: has like higher highs but much lower lowers, Whereas I
Speaker 3: think Tony Scott and Denzel like consistently hit very very
Speaker 3: like strong but rating movies, not Denzel's performances, but they
Speaker 3: sometimes got a hand in hand. Yeah, but Manifire excellent movie.
Speaker 2: It is excellent, which is why I'll be talking about
Speaker 2: it later. But yeah, it's very good. My number ten,
Speaker 2: speaking of, I'm just gonna go right into it because
Speaker 2: of what you just said is a Spike Lee film
Speaker 2: that tends to get forgotten a lot, and so I
Speaker 2: got to bring up Inside Man here.
Speaker 3: He was just gonna say like he got game or
Speaker 3: something else.
Speaker 2: No Inside Man gets overlooked as not like top tier
Speaker 2: Denzil not top tier, Spike Lee, not top tier anybody, which,
Speaker 2: by the way, cast in this is great even like
Speaker 2: James Ranson is in this, but Christopher fucking Blummer, Clive Owen,
Speaker 2: Willem Dafoe's in this, Jonny Foster is in this, ye,
Speaker 2: so it's oh yeah, she would tell ed you for
Speaker 2: us so good. In this, Denzel plays a detective another thing.
Speaker 2: He plays a lot, and he is magnificent in this.
Speaker 2: And essentially, if you've never seen it, it is a
Speaker 2: bank robbery heist gone wrong turns into a hostage situation
Speaker 2: and then Denzel has to be one of the negotiators,
Speaker 2: and it is It's a movie that really could have
Speaker 2: fallen apart into like a I don't know, like a
Speaker 2: wanna be like go with the super cliche ending type
Speaker 2: of film. But instead this was brilliantly written to just
Speaker 2: sort of pepper along the whole story the entire way
Speaker 2: instead of like a big twist reveal and have you
Speaker 2: like lose everything out of the sales. But this movie
Speaker 2: is just great. It's written like perfectly balanced. It's kind
Speaker 2: of a weird thing to say, but and I don't
Speaker 2: want to give away too much of this movie because
Speaker 2: it's very good to see if you've ever seen it.
Speaker 2: Spike Lee really good director for this, but because it's
Speaker 2: not his typical thing. I think people just forget that
Speaker 2: it's Spike a lot of the time. Yeah, but yeah,
Speaker 2: Denzel fantastic in this whole story of this is great,
Speaker 2: very tense movie, certainly one that so you you can
Speaker 2: quickly get lost in love this movie, love love the cash.
Speaker 2: Like I said, yeah, inside Man, number ten.
Speaker 3: I have that at seventeen. Oh geez, I know, but
Speaker 3: like I said, like number twenty is like a nine
Speaker 3: out of ten, right, Like the gap between seventeen and
Speaker 3: like eleven is very minuscule.
Speaker 2: Right, So yeah, good to know. Good to know. Number
Speaker 2: nine for you.
Speaker 3: Number nine is another one I own. I have a
Speaker 3: video on this one actually as well, which is Mississippi Massala.
Speaker 2: It's my number nine as well.
Speaker 3: This is amazing, brilliant then, yeah, Mississippi Massala is so fantastic.
Speaker 3: I think the way like it handles everything that I
Speaker 3: mentioned in my video really like racial tensions, but not
Speaker 3: just racial tensions between like the obvious groups of like
Speaker 3: white and minority, but within minority communities, like within the
Speaker 3: black community, how they see you know, other like Asian people,
Speaker 3: and how Asian people see black people, and in these
Speaker 3: like lower economic communities, as well, you know, how like
Speaker 3: everything's kind of pitted against each other when really you
Speaker 3: are one and the same, you know, and like kind
Speaker 3: of the cycle of how like that stuff is bred
Speaker 3: into you as well from children and stuff like that. Yeah,
Speaker 3: it's a beautifully made movie. I think Denzel should have
Speaker 3: done a lot more rom coms in this time. Yeah
Speaker 3: it's not a roum comas like a romance movie rather,
Speaker 3: but yeah, he's such a good romantic lead. And I
Speaker 3: think him and Soreta are like maybe the most gorgeous
Speaker 3: couple in a romance movie ever. They are like just
Speaker 3: two of the most beautiful people. And there's like this
Speaker 3: one scene where they're like walking on the beach and
Speaker 3: they're just talking to each other, and I remember watching
Speaker 3: it for the first time going like, this is like
Speaker 3: the most beautiful thing ever put to a string. It's
Speaker 3: like two ten out of ten people just walking on
Speaker 3: the sunniest beach, like just talking about love. It's beautiful.
Speaker 2: So on that note, this might be the movie where
Speaker 2: I had to question did I just fall in love
Speaker 2: with Denzel Washington? He oozes charisma from every single scene
Speaker 2: in this movie. He is magnificent in this He is magnetic, Like,
Speaker 2: I feel like everybody in this movie is attracted to
Speaker 2: him in so many different ways. But the crazy thing
Speaker 2: that gets kind of like brushed under the rug. I
Speaker 2: guess when discussing this is specifically where you're talking about
Speaker 2: with the minority groups, because this isn't just hey, we're
Speaker 2: in Mississippi and the white people think black people are bad,
Speaker 2: like this is true African American diaspora. This is Indian
Speaker 2: ethnic groups. This is mixing of ethnic groups and people
Speaker 2: that don't agree with that and how that changes tensions
Speaker 2: and stuff. This movie is beautiful in so many different ways,
Speaker 2: and I completely agree he should have done another, I
Speaker 2: don't know, eight movies like this in the two years
Speaker 2: following this. However, he probably thought that was enough and
Speaker 2: just made his choices to do better. But yeah, this
Speaker 2: is one that gets sorely overlooked. Has a really wonderful
Speaker 2: criterion release, beautiful film, wonderfully directed, and some really great
Speaker 2: like vistas like the classic use of the word the
Speaker 2: way they get landscapes in this movie feel so special.
Speaker 2: It feels very what's the best way to say this, Like,
Speaker 2: I feel like it feels like film in the nineties,
Speaker 2: but not like of the nineties. Yeahthing, there's something special
Speaker 2: about how we went on scene in the nineties to
Speaker 2: go film things right before we went to the green
Speaker 2: screen of everything, like things got actual budgets and they said, no,
Speaker 2: we're setting a camera up and we're getting this sunset specifically,
Speaker 2: and it's gorgeous in this movie. Yeah, check out Miss
Speaker 2: Sibby Massala. You need to see it if you haven't.
Speaker 3: It's so good. And on the topic of like Denzel
Speaker 3: should have done more, like more romance stuff. It's quite
Speaker 3: funny because, like you know, Denzel's whole career, people have
Speaker 3: like formed over Denzel. He's like very well known as
Speaker 3: a very handsome man. He's like people love, you know.
Speaker 3: I remember women like when I was growing up would
Speaker 3: watch Denzel movies just to see Denzel. They didn't care
Speaker 3: about the movie or anything like that. So he's like
Speaker 3: such an obvious pick for a romantic lead. He has
Speaker 3: so much charisma, he's so very like good looking, but
Speaker 3: he just never really ventured into that genre, which I
Speaker 3: find quite interesting.
Speaker 2: Yeah, should point out directed by Myra Nair, that is
Speaker 2: the director. Criterion releasing Salam Bombay her first film in December,
Speaker 2: and she's also the mother of the current New York
Speaker 2: City mayoral candidates, or on mom Donnie, who should hopefully
Speaker 2: be winning in a landslide.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it's pretty to go and say that and
Speaker 3: see my video on it is not what he did.
Speaker 2: Number eight. You want me to share mine first? Do
Speaker 2: you want to keep going on here? Since we had
Speaker 2: the same one? So my number eight is one of
Speaker 2: the first forced upon me Denzel movies to watch that
Speaker 2: I did not like it first, and I learned to
Speaker 2: love later after watching it three more times. I think
Speaker 2: by that face, you probably know exactly what it is.
Speaker 2: I was forced to watch Glory in school and this
Speaker 2: movie is amazing. Glory is yet another one of these
Speaker 2: movies that has just a shockingly great cast. Nineteen eighty
Speaker 2: nine directed by Edwardswick and we got Matthew Broderick in this,
Speaker 2: Carrie Elwis but maybe more important, Morgan Freeman is so
Speaker 2: good in this. Andre Brower is great in this. Just
Speaker 2: a bunch of like random care tractors like Richard reel
Speaker 2: is in this. You'll you'll recognize his face from all
Speaker 2: kinds of shit that you've seen and loved. But this
Speaker 2: is about a Civil War volunteer company that's all black.
Speaker 2: They're fighting against the Union or sorry, fighting as the
Speaker 2: Union against the Confederates, and there's of course racial problems
Speaker 2: everywhere because the it's an all black volunteer group and
Speaker 2: it's the Civil War, so it is like the overarching
Speaker 2: tension in this entire movie. This movie rules and does
Speaker 2: not get discussed enough in twenty twenty five. The four
Speaker 2: K looks really great. By the way, Sony released that
Speaker 2: a few years ago. Morgan Freeman in this is I
Speaker 2: mean he was already older, but something about him in
Speaker 2: this like is the first thing that he did where
Speaker 2: I was like, oh man. He's like the voice of
Speaker 2: reason in so many different situations. He's like a born leader.
Speaker 2: This is one that Denzel does not have a huge role,
Speaker 2: but he when he's on screen, it is huge. He
Speaker 2: is He is a tour de force when he needs
Speaker 2: to be. Love Glory. I think it's overlooked and sort
Speaker 2: of underappreciated in twenty twenty five, and honestly, right now
Speaker 2: probably one of the more important movies that we could watch.
Speaker 3: So yeah, Glory, Glory's not on my list. So I
Speaker 3: get to talk about Glory a little bit. It's at sixteen, oh, nice.
Speaker 3: I love Glory. So when I watched Glory, like, we
Speaker 3: didn't watch this in school because you know, it's American
Speaker 3: Civil Wars and he teaches that shit. But I do
Speaker 3: remember watching it when I was roughly that age and
Speaker 3: I was bored to tears. So when it came to
Speaker 3: doing my Denzel video and I was like, fuck, I've
Speaker 3: got to watch Glory. I don't want to watch fucking Glory.
Speaker 3: I don't care. I was stunned by it. I think
Speaker 3: genuinely it was the first time I got Morgan Freeman because, like,
Speaker 3: Morgan Freeman is in so much stuff, but every time
Speaker 3: I watch him, I'm like, he's okay, Like he's a
Speaker 3: fine actor, he's okay, he's charismatic, but I don't understand,
Speaker 3: Like the thing with Morgan Freeman, I don't know how
Speaker 3: this guy out of all of them. And then I
Speaker 3: I was like, fuck, Morgan Freeman's really good in Glory.
Speaker 3: He's so good in Glory. Well, so, yeah, they're correct,
Speaker 3: Andre Brows in this movie. He's so good in this movie. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Denzel's obviously great. He has the Glory tier, the famous tier.
Speaker 3: I believe he was nominated for the Oscar for this
Speaker 3: but I yeah, I don't think he won. I think
Speaker 3: this is the first time he was like nominated for
Speaker 3: an Oscar for Best Supporting And yeah, it's an absolutely
Speaker 3: brilliant movie. And you know it's great because I don't
Speaker 3: care about war movies. I especially don't care about the
Speaker 3: American Civil War and I did not care for Morgan Freeman,
Speaker 3: so it has to tell you something. It's fantastic. Also,
Speaker 3: Edward Zwick, who directed it, did two more movies with Denzel,
Speaker 3: did The Siege and Courage and The Fire. The Siege
Speaker 3: is pretty okay, it's pretty good, and Courage and Defire
Speaker 3: I think is super underrated.
Speaker 2: It's very underrated. Good choice there that that almost made
Speaker 2: my list. That was a one. I think it would
Speaker 2: have been like thirteen.
Speaker 3: Encourage and Defire is quite it's like thy three on mine.
Speaker 3: But even still there, I think it's got like a
Speaker 3: like three and a half stars.
Speaker 2: Oh, Denzel did win the Oscar for Glory.
Speaker 3: Ah okay, okay, okay, I know there was like an
Speaker 3: Oscar thing there in my head. I just couldn't figure
Speaker 3: out what it was.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I did. For some reason, I did in my
Speaker 2: mind that his first his first win was not in
Speaker 2: the eighties.
Speaker 3: Fair enough, all right, you're number eight, my number eight.
Speaker 2: What is it?
Speaker 3: It's it's the Tragedy of Macbeth direct Colin. Yeah. So
Speaker 3: obviously I don't have a physical release for it, because
Speaker 3: there isn't one as far as I know. This is
Speaker 3: where you say, like, oh, italy us one.
Speaker 2: I don't know. There might be one.
Speaker 3: I'll check, but yeah, it's so good. Like everybody knows
Speaker 3: Denzel stage actor, you know, I mean, loves being on stage,
Speaker 3: and he definitely loves Shakespeare. He's done Shakespeare a million times.
Speaker 3: And I studied Macbeth at school. You know, everyone studies
Speaker 3: something Shakespeare at school, but for us, who was Macbeth.
Speaker 3: And I hated it. I was bored to tears with Macbeth.
Speaker 3: It's nowhere near my favorite Shakespeare thing.
Speaker 2: And this.
Speaker 3: Is the first time I understood Macbeth, like I understood
Speaker 3: the power of it and how great this story can be.
Speaker 3: I think reading the material didn't really work for me,
Speaker 3: but like seeing it is so because this is a
Speaker 3: stage play just filmed. Every set on here looks like
Speaker 3: it was built for a stage. You know, there's no
Speaker 3: like complicated like structures or anything like that. It's all
Speaker 3: very plain. It's all very beautiful as well. It's a
Speaker 3: very beautifully shot like black and white film, and every
Speaker 3: performer in it is performing like they're on a stage.
Speaker 3: There's like long takes of just big monologues and stuff
Speaker 3: like that, which obviously Denzel thrives in. And I think
Speaker 3: it also expertly shows how much Denzel understands Shakespeare, because
Speaker 3: Shakespeare was funny, like for his time, there was a
Speaker 3: lot of comedy in his work, and I feel like
Speaker 3: a lot of that gets lost in you know, over
Speaker 3: time and the translation as comedy changes and the wordings
Speaker 3: and stuff. But like, Denzel is funny in this movie.
Speaker 3: He makes that die log his own and he's like
Speaker 3: super charismatic as he always is with it. And yeah,
Speaker 3: it's it's so good and a great cast as well.
Speaker 2: I've heard nothing about good things about this. I really
Speaker 2: need to see it. It's just they try to get
Speaker 2: people to not be able to see it.
Speaker 3: Feels like, yeah, it's funny because obviously the Coen Brothers
Speaker 3: like broke up and Joel Cohen has gone and made
Speaker 3: this like masterpiece, while Ethan is just making like his
Speaker 3: weird like little Goofy's anythings, and I need him to
Speaker 3: like salt his shit out.
Speaker 2: Yeah I haven't hated his the stuff, but yeah, please
Speaker 2: get back together with your boyfriend. Yeah all right. So
Speaker 2: my number seven, since I've not seen that one, he
Speaker 2: is Training Day two thousand and one's Training Day, directed
Speaker 2: by Antoine Fuqua. It feels like it was made for me.
Speaker 2: I feel like Antoine Fuqua when he was on Fire
Speaker 2: was incredible. But the big thing is and Ethan Hawk
Speaker 2: are like the perfect team up for my sensibilities. They
Speaker 2: play off each other extremely well. In this movie, Denzel,
Speaker 2: again playing a detective but not quite the same detective
Speaker 2: as he normally does, is training Ethan Hawk essentially on
Speaker 2: his first day as a rookie cop and Chico's bed.
Speaker 2: It's it's a just wonderfully acted movie. It's two people
Speaker 2: giving like the performances of a lifetime in that moment,
Speaker 2: and it is like endlessly quotable. Denzel is, like there
Speaker 2: are some scenes in this where you can like visibly
Speaker 2: see him shaking because of how he's acting. He is
Speaker 2: so into this that it is this is like the
Speaker 2: perfect example of those Every time I see him acting,
Speaker 2: I only see Denzel no much fucking Training Day. Dude,
Speaker 2: he is another person all together.
Speaker 3: He's scary as fucking training.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's wild. If you've not seen Training Day, you
Speaker 2: you should and go into it not knowing anything. This
Speaker 2: is one of those movies that it's absolutely better for that.
Speaker 2: There's another one with a lot of names in the background.
Speaker 2: I mean they got fucking doctor Drane Snoop in this. Yeah,
Speaker 2: Raymond J. Barry is in this. Tom Berenger is in this.
Speaker 2: But oh Scotland, Yeah, big part in this. I I mean,
Speaker 2: there's there's so much that could be said about Training Day,
Speaker 2: but it's all kind of been said before. It is
Speaker 2: one of those like classic la crime movies, and if
Speaker 2: you have not taken the time with it, you should.
Speaker 2: It's a It's a two hour movie that I feel
Speaker 2: like I wouldn't have been mad if it was three
Speaker 2: hours longer.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I love stuff like this, and I feel like it
Speaker 2: is one of the best examples of like dirty cop
Speaker 2: training a rookie type of movies that have been attempted,
Speaker 2: and this is one of those that could not have
Speaker 2: been anybody but Denzel He he is this role, he
Speaker 2: is Training Day. I love it movie.
Speaker 3: Oh we're talking about training day later because it is
Speaker 3: on my list nice before that though, is one I
Speaker 3: don't have a physical release for which herks me is
Speaker 3: John Q. So John Q used to be higher on
Speaker 3: my list, but recent rewatches have dropped it down to seven.
Speaker 3: But what a movie. Okay, so we played this game earlier,
Speaker 3: let's play it again. What do you think The Rotten
Speaker 3: Tomato score.
Speaker 2: Of John Q is what I think it should be,
Speaker 2: probably about the same as what I said for the
Speaker 2: other one. I'll say it should be like a eighty three,
Speaker 2: and it's probably based on what you just said, probably
Speaker 2: like a forty one.
Speaker 3: It is twenty six, Jesus twenty.
Speaker 2: As so much twenty six? What it right? Right? John Q?
Speaker 3: So powerful one relevant even still to today. The performance
Speaker 3: put in by Denzel stands out even in a career
Speaker 3: of standout performances. It is so powerful. It is so simple,
Speaker 3: and that's what makes it so effective. If nobody knows
Speaker 3: what it's about. It's about John quincy Archibal. He's just
Speaker 3: a regular dad, you know. He works part time at
Speaker 3: a factory because they've cut his hours and whatever. And
Speaker 3: his son has a problem, a medical problem, like his
Speaker 3: heart's too big, and he's a heart transplant, but Denzel
Speaker 3: doesn't have the insurance because his job put him on
Speaker 3: a worse insurance plan, and the surgery costs like two
Speaker 3: hundred and fifty thousands or whatever, so he just can't
Speaker 3: afford in. He tries everything, you know, to make up
Speaker 3: the money for this, you know, he sells the car,
Speaker 3: he's selling everything, like his wife's engagement ring. He's doing
Speaker 3: everything he possibly can. He's going to financial aid and
Speaker 3: doing all these different kinds of things, and he just
Speaker 3: cannot come up with the money. And he eventually takes
Speaker 3: hostage of the hospital. So he bolts like all these doors,
Speaker 3: and he takes a like a doctor, a couple of nurses,
Speaker 3: and a couple civilians that are just like in the
Speaker 3: waiting room until his demands are met, which is to
Speaker 3: get his son a new heart. So powerful, it's truly
Speaker 3: the shining example of like a really good person in
Speaker 3: a really bad situation, you know, because like objectively, what
Speaker 3: he's doing is a terrible thing. You know, he's holding
Speaker 3: all these people at gunpoint. He's holding them hostage, a
Speaker 3: lot of them sick people, you know, because he's not
Speaker 3: just you know, the chief of surgery or whatever. It's
Speaker 3: not just him in there, but it's a woman who's pregnant,
Speaker 3: and there's a guy like there's Eddie Griffin in this movie,
Speaker 3: and like his fingers are like are all cut off,
Speaker 3: and yeah, there's like a woman in there with a
Speaker 3: baby that has like an ear infection and stuff. And
Speaker 3: he's got all these people in there, and you would
Speaker 3: think that like because of this awful situation, you know,
Speaker 3: like he's the villain, but everyone groups around him because
Speaker 3: everyone's very sympathetic to his cause, even the people that
Speaker 3: is holding hostage. And yeah, it's fantastic. It's directed by
Speaker 3: Nick Cassavetti's which is funny because of that Flesh and
Speaker 3: Blood TV movie I mentioned earlier has John Cassavetti's in it,
Speaker 3: so like Denzil has kind of a little link there.
Speaker 3: And everyone in this movie is just so unreasonable. Can
Speaker 3: I say, like there is not a single reasonable person
Speaker 3: in this movie except.
Speaker 2: For John Q.
Speaker 3: Like the director of the hospital is an asshole. She
Speaker 3: like is not sympathetic at all to his cause. Like
Speaker 3: the chief of surgery is like, right, so these are
Speaker 3: your options, and she's like, hold on, you cannot afford
Speaker 3: these options. Therefore get out. She doesn't care at all.
Speaker 3: John's wife, Kimberly Elise in this movie is like the
Speaker 3: meanest person that's ever existed, Like she's The movie opens
Speaker 3: up with their car getting repossessed and she's angry at him,
Speaker 3: and he's basically going like, well, they cut my arms
Speaker 3: at the factory, so I had to over make a
Speaker 3: payment on the house or the car, so I chose
Speaker 3: the house. And she's still like pissed at him, and
Speaker 3: she's like really angry. And then when it comes to
Speaker 3: the medical bills stuff, she's like super angry at him
Speaker 3: still for not being able to afford the medical bills,
Speaker 3: and then she's like do something jahn like that, and
Speaker 3: then he takes the hospital a kid like hostage and
Speaker 3: it's so because it's like you're in the same position
Speaker 3: as him, Yeah, why are you angry at him? And
Speaker 3: everyone is the same, like everyone is just so unreasonable
Speaker 3: and obtuse, But it's fine. Eddie Griffin is hilarious in
Speaker 3: this movie. Every line reading he has is just so funny,
Speaker 3: and yeah, it's a great movie.
Speaker 2: It is, which is why I'll talk about it a
Speaker 2: little bit later. My number six is a kind of
Speaker 2: a good companion piece. To glory because it's related to
Speaker 2: war kind of, and that is nineteen ninety five's Devil
Speaker 2: in a Blue Dress. Carl Franklin directs the absolute hell
Speaker 2: out of this movie. This is set just after World
Speaker 2: War Two and essentially Denzel's a war hero that comes
Speaker 2: back to Los Angeles and gets stuck in the middle
Speaker 2: of this crazy like murder mystery, socio placeolitical scandal thing.
Speaker 2: And the big thing with this is if you like
Speaker 2: anything that Carl Franklin has done, obviously the one that
Speaker 2: you would probably go with with this is One False
Speaker 2: Move but out of Time. He also did with Denzel
Speaker 2: mcdonzell decent, not not top ten material, but decent. One
Speaker 2: False Move is is really great, and I would say
Speaker 2: this one is up there as well. But this movie.
Speaker 2: Denzel is hot as hell in this movie. It is
Speaker 2: such a beautiful period piece, captures la and just a
Speaker 2: really beautiful Like the closest thing I'd probably say too
Speaker 2: is like mulhalland Falls. Everything is like that, everybody's wearing
Speaker 2: a suit type of background shots.
Speaker 3: It's in the wall like out of its time.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is so good. The the murder mystery aspect
Speaker 2: and like the political scandal of this, though, is so like,
Speaker 2: so well done. For a movie like this, they could
Speaker 2: have they could have easily like cheaped out on a
Speaker 2: way worse script and instead this Even without Denzel, this
Speaker 2: movie would have still been a banger. Thankfully he's in it,
Speaker 2: and it elevates it to something incredible. But Devil in
Speaker 2: a Blue Dress deserves every like look back that it
Speaker 2: possibly can get, especially when you consider the timeline of
Speaker 2: doing this right after World War Two and setting it
Speaker 2: as a noir, as as him investigating this as a
Speaker 2: black man in the late forties. There's so much that
Speaker 2: comes with that, and he delivers all of it with
Speaker 2: nuance and poise and just again oozes charisma like he
Speaker 2: does in so many of these movies. But this movie specifically,
Speaker 2: it just it gets to me. I mean, everything about
Speaker 2: this is interesting and compelling and one of those where
Speaker 2: it's like I love spending time in these scenes but
Speaker 2: also get along with it because I really want to
Speaker 2: see what happens next, And some of the other movies
Speaker 2: that are in this genre it's, I don't know, they
Speaker 2: lose steam. This movie kind of starts and then doesn't
Speaker 2: let up in a in a very compelling way worth watching.
Speaker 2: It's got a nice Criterion release, I believe. I think
Speaker 2: Criterion did it over the Indicator release of this. I
Speaker 2: was about to say the Indicator releases the one I have.
Speaker 2: Great film, great performance again, really good cast too. Wasn't
Speaker 2: gonna highlight that too much because there's there's not a
Speaker 2: lot that are like massive but don cheetle in this,
Speaker 2: Tom Size Moore, Jennifer Bial's also in this, but random
Speaker 2: ass character actors again that you've seen in so many
Speaker 2: different things up here in the background and you're like, oh,
Speaker 2: I've seen, Oh he's gone and he's never in a
Speaker 2: scene again in this movie. But yeah, really really fun movie.
Speaker 2: Love love this film.
Speaker 3: Yeah it's not in my turn it's at fourteen, but yeah,
Speaker 3: I do still really love it. Nine outs of ten,
Speaker 3: four and a half stars. Brilliant, brilliant movie. So yeah,
Speaker 3: you basically covered everything I would say. Also, but to
Speaker 3: this point that mister Adam Scholfield saying Denzel is in
Speaker 3: so many non viol mo Yeah, he is in a
Speaker 3: lot of element but like so many non like I mean,
Speaker 3: does my Better Blues in Mississippi, Massala Offenses and Philadelphia
Speaker 3: and much ado about nothing like that. There's a lot,
Speaker 3: but it's true. Yeah, but my number six is no
Speaker 3: better Blues.
Speaker 2: What a movie.
Speaker 3: So Spike Lee joint again an incredible cast, like a
Speaker 3: really good cast as well. Actually, so let me just
Speaker 3: so he's got Denzel, Spike Lee's obviously in it. It's
Speaker 3: got Wesley Snipes in this movie. Gen Carlo Esposito, he's
Speaker 3: really good in it. John Tatoro, Charlie Murphy's in this
Speaker 3: for like two scenes as well. But Charlie Murphy's so funny.
Speaker 3: And yeah, it's such a good movie. It's about like
Speaker 3: a jazz musician, he said, he said, trumpeter, and it's
Speaker 3: it's one of those movies that makes you care for
Speaker 3: something even if you don't generally, kind of like Moneyball
Speaker 3: does for baseball, Like you care so much for the
Speaker 3: jazz music in this, even if you know you don't
Speaker 3: love jazz. And we really really need gen Carlo in
Speaker 3: more lighthearted comedic roles like he's for the like the
Speaker 3: past ten years he has just been playing Gusfring in
Speaker 3: different scenarios and it's killing me because he is such
Speaker 3: a funny and charismatic actor. But yeah, so good Denzel.
Speaker 3: I think this is probably a top three or four
Speaker 3: Denzel performance, it has like his very theatrical approach, but
Speaker 3: even in them quite a moment, it's got like this
Speaker 3: kind of grandiose nature to it. Even you know, when
Speaker 3: he's not shouting or delivering a big monologue, just when
Speaker 3: it's him with these thoughts, it still feels very thought provoking.
Speaker 3: It still feels very grand and he also feels like
Speaker 3: a very tangible person here. Yeah, you know, like a
Speaker 3: lot of the times, like Denzel in movies feels larger
Speaker 3: than life, you know, but in this movie he feels
Speaker 3: like someone you would just know. And that comes with
Speaker 3: like a lot of the chemistry that he has with
Speaker 3: the bandmates, with Wesley Snipes and with Spike leean with
Speaker 3: everyone that's in like that group. His scenes, especially like backstage,
Speaker 3: just like those green rooms or whatever, are so naturalistic
Speaker 3: and so funny and so just like free flowing. There's
Speaker 3: some of the best scenes so Spike Lee has ever directed.
Speaker 3: And yeah, so there's the thing, by the way with
Speaker 3: highest to lowest on the Spike Lee train of thought,
Speaker 3: where people are really upset with it because it makes
Speaker 3: a lot of bizarre choices, which it does. It makes
Speaker 3: a lot of bizarre like music choices and a lot
Speaker 3: of bizarre like tone choices and editing choices. And here's
Speaker 3: the thing, Spike Lee does that in this movie as well.
Speaker 3: But people like this movie, so they're more accepting of it. Yeah,
Speaker 3: but I think like in the modern day people aren't
Speaker 3: really too accepting of like a high director like that
Speaker 3: making just weird and bizarre choices. But there's like multiple
Speaker 3: times in this movie where there's like the score is
Speaker 3: going on and it's not like the jazz score, it's
Speaker 3: just like it's the film's general score, and it feels
Speaker 3: so clashing to what you're seeing, right, and it's so
Speaker 3: odd and out of place, but it works. And I
Speaker 3: feel like that's the same thing in Highslois. He's just
Speaker 3: doing like the exact same thing, and I think it
Speaker 3: works phenomenally. And yeah, I think Bleak is one of
Speaker 3: the most layered and interesting characters in the Denzel canon.
Speaker 3: We deal a lot with time and how we spend
Speaker 3: it and who we spend it on, and the value
Speaker 3: of what we spend our time on, you know, whether
Speaker 3: it's people or a passion, and finding the balance in
Speaker 3: those things and the repercussions of choosing one thing over
Speaker 3: the other and yeah, I think it just has some
Speaker 3: really interesting dynamics and stuff like that, like Bleak and
Speaker 3: Wesley Snipe's character Shadow. There always are odds in this movie.
Speaker 3: They're always after each other, but when a certain thing
Speaker 3: happens called to the third act, Shadows like right there
Speaker 3: with him. You know, it's his friend, And I feel
Speaker 3: like it's an interesting display of friendship in this movie
Speaker 3: that feels very real because friends aren't always just big buddies.
Speaker 3: Yeah you know, but yeah, it's great. Also, there's a
Speaker 3: shot of an actual birth in this movie. By the way,
Speaker 3: there's like an actual birth. It's so odd. Spike Lee
Speaker 3: paid people so he could film them giving birth for
Speaker 3: this movie, and he had the hospital like on speed dial,
Speaker 3: like so they would call him as soon as someone
Speaker 3: goes into labor. Crazy bizarre thing.
Speaker 2: But yeah, so music is huge for me. I was
Speaker 2: in jazzban growing up and this was on my list
Speaker 2: for the longest time. It got bumped at the last
Speaker 2: moment because I didn't want to have too many Spike
Speaker 2: Lee films in my tops. So this is technically my
Speaker 2: number eleven. But this movie is very very special to me.
Speaker 2: This is one that I have seen many times. One
Speaker 2: of my favorite Spikes, one of my favorite Denzel's one
Speaker 2: of my favorite music movies, and it's it's just it's
Speaker 2: very very good. You said everything very eloquently, so I
Speaker 2: will let it go there for sure.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Well so just real quick, the final moment of
Speaker 3: the movie kind of silently talk about like how we
Speaker 3: avoid the pitfalls of parenting by looking at our own parents,
Speaker 3: you know, and we see how we turn into them,
Speaker 3: but also a just you know, like and I'm sure
Speaker 3: you as a parent can definitely like relate to that
Speaker 3: in some way where he sees like how his mother
Speaker 3: and father like treated his passion towards music and forcing
Speaker 3: him into it, and when he finally has a child,
Speaker 3: he kind of alters that behavior in his parenting. And
Speaker 3: I just thought that was like a really interesting thing
Speaker 3: to end the movie on.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree. I think it's important and not super
Speaker 2: stereotypical Spike type of choice.
Speaker 3: So's yeah, yeah, it's very cool.
Speaker 2: My number five is not in your top ten. I
Speaker 2: can say that now I know objectively that this is
Speaker 2: probably not even worthy of the top ten, but this
Speaker 2: is a personal choice for me. My number five is
Speaker 2: Tony Scott's last film twenty ten's Unstoppable. Wow. Yes. So
Speaker 2: I don't know if you've ever heard this, because I
Speaker 2: don't talk about it too much, but I was a
Speaker 2: railroad conductor for multiple years of my life. I did
Speaker 2: not know this. My father was an engineer, my grandfather
Speaker 2: was an engineer. I grew up around the railroad, and
Speaker 2: this movie gets a lot wrong about trains. This movie
Speaker 2: also gets a lot right about trains. And for a
Speaker 2: movie about an unstoppable train, which the whole premise for
Speaker 2: this is kind of sort of impossible with how it
Speaker 2: would go down. It's shockingly tense, but it's a very
Speaker 2: fun movie. Just the fact that it like brought legitimacy
Speaker 2: to a lot of stuff that I did. I love
Speaker 2: this movie when it came out, and it was like, man,
Speaker 2: Tony Scott is still out here making really fucking amazing,
Speaker 2: like great entertaining movies. And then he died and it
Speaker 2: was like Jesus, like what are we doing? He had
Speaker 2: so many great movies still left within him, and now
Speaker 2: he's gone, and like, instead, we're stuck with the other
Speaker 2: Scott who's nowhere near his fun and unfortunately are It's true?
Speaker 3: You know what actually makes this sad. When Flight came out,
Speaker 3: Denza was doing like obviously the promotev for Flight and
Speaker 3: he Tony Scott had like just recently like passed and
Speaker 3: then we're talking to him about it, and he was
Speaker 3: saying that, like the day or two before you know,
Speaker 3: Tony Scott passed away, they had spoke on the phone
Speaker 3: about doing another movie. Tommy Scott had this idea for
Speaker 3: another movie with Denzealentn's. I was obviously like super up
Speaker 3: for it, and it's just like it's annoying that we
Speaker 3: never got to see like what them two could have
Speaker 3: done in their late stage of their careers.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So nineteen year old Ryan I was a conductor
Speaker 2: and I worked there for a few years until the
Speaker 2: economy tanked, and then I got laid off. In a
Speaker 2: span of one year, I got laid off like thirty
Speaker 2: six times from the railroad. They would lay you off
Speaker 2: for like four days and then call you back to
Speaker 2: work on the weekend because everybody took the weekend off
Speaker 2: and they didn't have enough people, and so I had
Speaker 2: a really rough year of it. But this was funny enough.
Speaker 2: Came right after I decided like to fully walk away
Speaker 2: from the railroad. And watching this was kind of cathartic
Speaker 2: because it was like, damn, like, this is really interesting
Speaker 2: to watch. A lot of it is wrong and I
Speaker 2: know that. However, it's entertaining as hell. Another one like
Speaker 2: we're gonna say this all night because most of his
Speaker 2: movies I have credible cast, but for a movie like
Speaker 2: Unstoppable about an unmanned train going out, you know, possibly
Speaker 2: to kill people, is really stacked. I mean, Rosario Dawson
Speaker 2: is greating this, Ethan So who plays in this, but
Speaker 2: the big thing like this is one of the best
Speaker 2: Chris Pine performances that ever done, so good in this.
Speaker 2: Kevin Dunn is in this. Another character actor Kevin Corrigan
Speaker 2: another one that's in this. Unfortunately you got to do
Speaker 2: a little bit of like sucking it up to deal
Speaker 2: with TJ. Miller ever so slightly in this. But overall
Speaker 2: really fun movie built around trains, which we don't get
Speaker 2: a lot of movies about trains, and to be honest,
Speaker 2: it's a huge, huge backbone of the US and there's
Speaker 2: a lot of stories you could tell around this shit.
Speaker 2: So yeah, love this movie. It's fantastic.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a thirty four of mine.
Speaker 2: Not shocked.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but like it is in good company, like it
Speaker 3: is next to Courage and to Fire and Out of
Speaker 3: Time and stuff like that. Like it's still a very
Speaker 3: high quality movie. It's like way above the Book of
Speaker 3: the Line all that stuff. Yeah, let's not even get there.
Speaker 3: It is my least favorite Tony Scott and Denzel collaboration,
Speaker 3: of which I think they've done four right, Crimson Tide,
Speaker 3: Deja Vu, Man on Fire, and un Yeah, yeah that works. Yeah,
Speaker 3: it's my least favorite of those. But it's still a
Speaker 3: very quality movie. You can put it on anything. It's
Speaker 3: like Speed but with a train. You know, it's just
Speaker 3: very rewatchable.
Speaker 2: I agree.
Speaker 3: Oh, in the Taking of Pelm. Sorry that's five.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah yeah yeah. Second, I always forget that was
Speaker 2: Tony Scott for some reason.
Speaker 3: You shouldn't because when you watch it, it's very obvious.
Speaker 2: It's very.
Speaker 3: Yeah it's true, it's true. Yeah, okay, So my number
Speaker 3: five is also a Tony Scott movie. It is Deja Vu.
Speaker 3: What an impossibly perfect movie. Yes, Like I so the
Speaker 3: first time I watched this, I gave it I think
Speaker 3: like a seven out of ten or something, which is
Speaker 3: still quite high, but like you know, crazy, right, And
Speaker 3: then I saw like Zach had seen it, and Zach
Speaker 3: gave it like super high, like a nine out of ten.
Speaker 3: I was like, that's strange, so unusual that you'd like
Speaker 3: this more than I did. And then I rewatched it
Speaker 3: and I gave it a ten, and I was like,
Speaker 3: this is perfect. What the fuck was I on when
Speaker 3: I first watched?
Speaker 2: This is so good?
Speaker 3: Like deja vu is just so beautiful. It is like
Speaker 3: that's the word I would describe it. That's it's it's beautiful.
Speaker 3: It's got like I mean one, The esthetic of it
Speaker 3: is just gorgeous. It has like all of those very
Speaker 3: mellow blue and greens, but also like these these oranges
Speaker 3: and yellow tinges to them. It's very hazy, kind of
Speaker 3: like a dream, absolutely gorgeous. Tony Scott crafted the aesthetic
Speaker 3: of this so so well, and I think this might
Speaker 3: be the peak of his like two thousand style. And yeah, Denzel,
Speaker 3: he gets to do everything that he's good at in
Speaker 3: this movie. He gets to be charming and intimidating. He
Speaker 3: gets to do like sweeping monologues, but he also gets
Speaker 3: to do like smaller passionate line deliveries, and he's charismatic
Speaker 3: and funny he's just a quintessential Denzel character. Like everything
Speaker 3: that Denzel is good at is in this movie is
Speaker 3: in this performance. And again, like we always said, the
Speaker 3: cast for this is super good. There's like Adam Goldberg
Speaker 3: and Matt Craven, Elden Henson, El Fanning, Val Kilmer's in
Speaker 3: this movie. Bruce Greenwood's in this movie for like one scene.
Speaker 3: You know, it's so good. And yeah, the concept is
Speaker 3: crazy because like the sci fi aspect of this movie
Speaker 3: creeps up on you if you didn't know it was
Speaker 3: like a sci fi movie because it's just a regular
Speaker 3: kind of detective procedural thing for a while. And then
Speaker 3: you know, they start bullshitting him about like the technology
Speaker 3: that they have. And I love that the movie kind
Speaker 3: of trusts the audience to be on the same wavelength
Speaker 3: because we're hearing it and you're sitting there going like,
Speaker 3: doesn't sound right. That sounds like bullshit to me. And
Speaker 3: then it's when so when he finally gets to call
Speaker 3: it out and he does like the big speech you know,
Speaker 3: where he smashes the monitor and he's like the monitor
Speaker 3: is dead, so now is she dead or alive? And
Speaker 3: he's doing that whole thing it's so good and it
Speaker 3: feels so like cathartic as an audience. Yeah, it's brilliant.
Speaker 3: It doesn't bother trying to explain too much of it
Speaker 3: to you. It is very much like just an emotional ride.
Speaker 3: And there's one like car scene, the car chase with
Speaker 3: the helmet on. Anyone's seeing the movie knows the exact scene.
Speaker 3: It is one of the most inventive and fun car
Speaker 3: chase scenes I've ever seen in my life. There is
Speaker 3: nothing else like it.
Speaker 2: It's so good, best directed scenes that he ever did.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's and this movie just has such a like
Speaker 3: an empathetic camera like that every shot feels so in
Speaker 3: love with with the moment and every emotion that every
Speaker 3: actor and every character is feeling, that camera picks up
Speaker 3: in perfect quality. Yeah, it's it's brilliant. I love it
Speaker 3: so much.
Speaker 2: It's very good, which is why I'll talk about it
Speaker 2: in a few minutes. My number four is one that
Speaker 2: you already spoke on. I don't really have a ton
Speaker 2: to add, but I actually have John Q here at
Speaker 2: number four. This movie it's just so personal, I think
Speaker 2: is the best way to put this. And being a
Speaker 2: quintessential American through and through film about fuck the healthcare system.
Speaker 3: We're all screwed.
Speaker 2: It just means so much. It's like, it's why I
Speaker 2: saw six as one of my favorite Saw movies. It's
Speaker 2: the conceit of the healthcare system is killing all of
Speaker 2: us and we're all just along for the ride is wild,
Speaker 2: and it's it's leading to it's the fact that the
Speaker 2: movie John Q. Is relatable for people is terrifying. That's
Speaker 2: probably the way I should end that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, this is like, how you know, John Q
Speaker 3: Is so good though, So I have it on a
Speaker 3: five star. It's seven, you know, out of fifty six.
Speaker 3: It used to be three, but like a lot's happened. Yeah,
Speaker 3: And I've never struggled with any of like any of
Speaker 3: that because we have the NHS, God bless and I
Speaker 3: don't know anyone personally that has ever dealt with anything
Speaker 3: like that. It's not even you know, within my rum
Speaker 3: of possibility. And it's still powerful to me, you know,
Speaker 3: a complete outsider of the situation. So it Yeah, it's
Speaker 3: a very very powerful movie.
Speaker 2: It is. I love it so much. Your number four, my.
Speaker 3: Number four is training Day, which you spoke about briefly earlier.
Speaker 3: Training Day is so good, dude.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I.
Speaker 3: Was it yesterday. I think it was yesterday other day
Speaker 3: before I rewatched Training Day, and after I watched it,
Speaker 3: I was like, fuck, that was so good, And I
Speaker 3: went upstairs and I watched like a bunch of videos
Speaker 3: on Training Day. It's funny you mentioned in your like
Speaker 3: little segment that like, this movie you know is Denzel
Speaker 3: and there's not. But originally, when the original director was
Speaker 3: attached to it, it was going to be Matt Damon
Speaker 3: and Sam Jackson, which I don't think works at all, No,
Speaker 3: like at all, Like I don't think Matt Damon is
Speaker 3: dweedy enough that Ethan Hawk could pull off at this time,
Speaker 3: and Sam Jackson couldn't pull off evil enough.
Speaker 2: I think. Well, and just like Ethan Hawk could not
Speaker 2: have done it if it was like ten years later.
Speaker 2: He was on that fool and polished by then.
Speaker 3: Yeah, like at this very specific time, they needed Ethan Hawk,
Speaker 3: which Denzel really pushed for behind the scenes, like he
Speaker 3: really wanted Ethan Hawk for this thing, and he got
Speaker 3: in the audition and stuff. But yeah, there were so
Speaker 3: many people attached to the role of Jake before Ethan Hawk.
Speaker 3: Obviously there was Matt Damon, they offered it to eminem
Speaker 3: who turned it down because he was doing eight Mile,
Speaker 3: which is funny because obviously you know doctor Dres in
Speaker 3: this movie. They considered Tabby Maguire, Freddie Prince Junior, Paul Walker,
Speaker 3: Scott Speedman, like just a bunch of people, but it
Speaker 3: was always going to be Ethan Hawk, to be Yea,
Speaker 3: and yeah, it had to be Denzel, Like he's so
Speaker 3: terrifying in this movie in such a charming and sort
Speaker 3: of way. It's like, this is what the devil is.
Speaker 3: If the Devil was a person, it's Alonzo because he
Speaker 3: is wicked through and through, but he does it all
Speaker 3: with the most funny and charismatic like lines and smile
Speaker 3: and feel to him that like you want to root
Speaker 3: for him. You think maybe he isn't actually a bad guy.
Speaker 3: The whole movie, you're like doubting everything that you're seeing
Speaker 3: and witnessing because he's doing it so charismatically. And yeah,
Speaker 3: there's a million quotes in this movie, just a million
Speaker 3: of them. He is like every line he does in
Speaker 3: this movie is like you can put it on your fridge.
Speaker 3: It's brilliant, especially that like final scene, the very big speech,
Speaker 3: which was mostly improvised as well. I remember seeing this
Speaker 3: clip someone has like the script next to the clip
Speaker 3: of it, and it's like none of it matches at all.
Speaker 3: Denzel got way off script for that final scene bit
Speaker 3: like he's so good at it is such a powerful scene.
Speaker 3: I quote it all the time. It's brilliant. It's so funny.
Speaker 3: What's that? This movie just has like some weird stuff
Speaker 3: going on with Like Macy Gray is in this movie
Speaker 3: for a scene, like.
Speaker 2: I've seen.
Speaker 3: I've seen her a million times, right, I've seen this
Speaker 3: movie a million times, and I didn't realize until two
Speaker 3: days ago that it was Macy Gray and I was like, Fuck,
Speaker 3: that's Macy Gray. That's crazy. Tom Bereringer is in this
Speaker 3: movie for like one scene, which who is also in
Speaker 3: that Flesh and Blood TV movie with Denzel, So there's
Speaker 3: like there's a little reunite there. This was Terry Cruz's
Speaker 3: first gig, YEP, because he was working security on the set. Yeah,
Speaker 3: and there was like I want that to in the shot,
Speaker 3: which makes sense because he does look terrifying in this movie.
Speaker 3: They had like real crips on the set as well,
Speaker 3: like for the authenticity, which is crazy. Even Mendez is
Speaker 3: so like beautiful in this movie. This was the first
Speaker 3: time I discovered I had a crush on even Mendez
Speaker 3: was watching Training Day when I was like thirteen with
Speaker 3: my brother and I was like, that is the perfect human.
Speaker 3: That's what perfect people look like. And yeah, it's just
Speaker 3: such a brilliant movie. Jake is such a fucking muster
Speaker 3: in the in this movie, he a lot of gets
Speaker 3: into small PCP on his first day on the job.
Speaker 3: That's like, come on, man, just get up, just get
Speaker 3: But you know, like it comes back around and yeah,
Speaker 3: it's it's such a cathartic ending to the film as
Speaker 3: well to a movie where like it just feels so miserable,
Speaker 3: like the entire movie is miserable.
Speaker 2: It's tensible threat.
Speaker 3: Yeah. So yeah, it's brilliant.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I love it too. My number three another one
Speaker 2: that you've already spoke on going hard with a couple
Speaker 2: of directors here at the end of course, Deja Vu
Speaker 2: is at number three. I'm glad that you had it
Speaker 2: to high as well. The one thing I want to add,
Speaker 2: which you spoke on how they filmed that action scene
Speaker 2: very specifically, the whole movie is about this very exploding
Speaker 2: and the beauty that he captures in the actual explosion
Speaker 2: in this is wild and something we are sorely missing
Speaker 2: in movies in twenty twenty five, just like the practical No,
Speaker 2: that's that is an actual fairy on a river being
Speaker 2: fucking exploded and it looks amazing shot so wonderfully. Absolutely
Speaker 2: wanted to highlight that because he deserves it. Deja vu.
Speaker 2: It feels like DejaVu, because I would just want to
Speaker 2: say everything that you said again. But for a movie
Speaker 2: like this, with that type of conceit of the whole
Speaker 2: time playing with time thing, way better than just like
Speaker 2: reading the synopsis, it's so much better than you think
Speaker 2: it would be. Yeah, it's it's a masterpiece. Love it
Speaker 2: ten out of ten. Perfect movie. Yeah.
Speaker 3: I don't think there's a single director that does like
Speaker 3: explosions better than Tony Scott. I just don't. There's not
Speaker 3: a single one. He's so fantastic of those action stuff.
Speaker 3: And yeah, that the fairy explosion is brilliant. The whole
Speaker 3: intro to the fairy explosion is just incredible because it's
Speaker 3: a looks like a nature documentary like and the.
Speaker 2: Choices that he made, like to go from shot to
Speaker 2: shot to shot to actually be like, oh, here's what
Speaker 2: we're doing. Oh shit, like yeah, such a perfect setup
Speaker 2: for that. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it feels like he's more just set in a
Speaker 3: scene just for like characters to walk into. Yep, you know, yeah,
Speaker 3: it's so good, brilliant movie.
Speaker 2: Yep, number three.
Speaker 3: Number three is my favorite Tony Scott movie. Actually just
Speaker 3: in general, it is Crimson Tide. I love. I love
Speaker 3: Crimson Tide so much. This might be the Denzel movie
Speaker 3: I have seen the most ooh interesting. Yeah, I put
Speaker 3: on Crimson Tide all the time. Gorgeous movie, absolutely beautiful,
Speaker 3: Like this is where, like Tony Scott I felt, was
Speaker 3: starting to really play with colors, Like there are so
Speaker 3: many like bright reds and greens and blues and stuff
Speaker 3: in what should be realistically a very dull environment because
Speaker 3: it's inside a submarine pretty much the entire runtime. And yeah,
Speaker 3: this is the second time the Hackman and Denzel work together.
Speaker 3: They work together in a Sydney Lumette movie called Power,
Speaker 3: which is ungodly boring. And yeah, it's like just too
Speaker 3: titan acting against each other, not even with like it
Speaker 3: feels like they're competing in every scene to have the
Speaker 3: better performance and it does depend on the scene who
Speaker 3: is actually doing it. And it has like so much
Speaker 3: to say about like old ideologies versus new ideologies and
Speaker 3: the passing of torches and how we come to those agreements.
Speaker 3: It's so tense. It is maybe one of the most
Speaker 3: tense movies I've ever seen in my life. I have
Speaker 3: seen it a million times, and I still every time
Speaker 3: I'm watching it feel like I don't know how this
Speaker 3: is gonna end. Everyone is right and everyone is wrong,
Speaker 3: and yeah, it just has like some of the best performances. Again,
Speaker 3: the cast is ridiculous for this movie. Let me pull
Speaker 3: up this ridiculous cast. So again we have Matt Craven
Speaker 3: who shows up a weird amount. There is vig On
Speaker 3: Mortenson is in this movie, like he's very very young.
Speaker 3: James Gett Gandalfhini is in this movie as well. He's
Speaker 3: he's probably the best supporting actor in this movie.
Speaker 2: He is like so.
Speaker 3: Capturing in every single scene that he's in. I never
Speaker 3: really feel like I know where his character is going,
Speaker 3: Like it's such like a volatile performance. Yeah, yeah, I
Speaker 3: love it so much. Beautiful movie, perfect movie. Everyone should
Speaker 3: say it didn't.
Speaker 2: Make my top ten, but this should be up there
Speaker 2: for a lot of people. This is this is just
Speaker 2: outside of mine A great Dad movie. Yeah, not much,
Speaker 2: just Dad. It's pretty pretty perfect. It's pretty great. My
Speaker 2: number two is yet again another one that you've mentioned,
Speaker 2: and yet another Tony Scott that worries me. Man on fire.
Speaker 2: This movie is so damn good. I appreciated everything that
Speaker 2: you said about it, so I won't add too much
Speaker 2: more other than the fact that it's been like widely
Speaker 2: shared throughout the years that most of the scenes with
Speaker 2: Denzel and Christopher Walkin were almost entirely improvised. Is stupid.
Speaker 2: With how good they turned out in this, it should
Speaker 2: not be anywhere near that good. And yet they both
Speaker 2: just bring these completely different personalities and bounce off each
Speaker 2: other wonderfully in the way that they should be. It's
Speaker 2: like reverse chemistry in a way, and it could have
Speaker 2: gotten jittery or lost in what they were dealing with
Speaker 2: each other, but it just ends up being a masterclass
Speaker 2: in improvising. Denzel is putting on this aura of just
Speaker 2: I am the man and I'm here to control everything
Speaker 2: throughout this entire film, because it's a revenge film, Like
Speaker 2: there's a lot of focus on Fanning in this of course,
Speaker 2: and supposedly he like fell in love with her acting
Speaker 2: on this movie even yeah, it's just everything all eyes
Speaker 2: were on her, but really, at the end of the day,
Speaker 2: it's him protecting this entire set from start to finish,
Speaker 2: delivers an amazing movie. I am very due for a
Speaker 2: rewatch on this one, but this has been high on
Speaker 2: my Denzel list ever since the moment I saw it.
Speaker 2: And funny enough, you said Crimson Tid's one that you
Speaker 2: watch the most. I think The Fire is probably the
Speaker 2: one from him that I've seen the most threat of
Speaker 2: years because it is like infinitely rewatchable and just entertaining
Speaker 2: for moment one. And Tony Stott is a fucking master
Speaker 2: in this film.
Speaker 3: Tony Scott will do that to you. It's no wonder
Speaker 3: and also to be Dakuater and Denzel got to link
Speaker 3: back up in Equalize the Three Yeah, two years ago,
Speaker 3: which is quite cute.
Speaker 2: Very I'm worried if we're sailing towards the same number one, or.
Speaker 3: If I think we are. But what's made me upset
Speaker 3: is I know that my number two is not present
Speaker 3: on your top ten. I was really holding now that
Speaker 3: we have the same top two. It hurts because I
Speaker 3: know we're going to have the same top the same
Speaker 3: number one for sure. It feels like to me and
Speaker 3: nol brainer, So my number two is American Gangster by
Speaker 3: Ridley Scott. Yeah, yeah, perfect movie, absolutely perfect. Russell Crowe
Speaker 3: and Denzel above so equally incredible in this movie. It's
Speaker 3: so odd to me that for as many times as
Speaker 3: Denzel linked up with Tony Scott, he's only linked up
Speaker 3: with Ridley Scott twice now with Gladiator two, but up
Speaker 3: until Gladiator two just once, especially later on. Yeah, especially
Speaker 3: like the performance that he gives in American Gangster as
Speaker 3: well the true story of Frank Lucas, the only intimidating
Speaker 3: man in a brown suit ever. He looks like a
Speaker 3: principle for all of this movie, and he is scary
Speaker 3: as fuck, like Alonso is maybe the scariest character you know,
Speaker 3: he's ever done. But Frank Lucas is very very close.
Speaker 3: Like his act, like his nonchalance to violence is horrifying.
Speaker 3: He is not scared of nothing or no one. The
Speaker 3: one scene with just Elbert in like on the Street
Speaker 3: is I'm not gonna spoil that scene, but it's a
Speaker 3: very very good scene. And he does the craziest thing
Speaker 3: on the sunniest day in Harlem. It is the sunniest
Speaker 3: day on the busiest street, and he does not care
Speaker 3: a single bit. Some of the best performances that Denzel
Speaker 3: has ever given. I have at least four gifts that
Speaker 3: I regularly use that come from this movie. Russell Crowe
Speaker 3: is obviously fantastic in this movie. The cast again, I
Speaker 3: mean it's a really scott movie, so you know, it's incredible.
Speaker 3: So like Ti Hotels in this one, Josh Browling, Cuban
Speaker 3: good Junior, Cuba Gooding, Junior Ted Lavine's in this movie.
Speaker 3: John Hawk's Rizza is in this movie. I always forget
Speaker 3: that Rizz is in this movie. It's so weird that
Speaker 3: he's in this movie. Also Ti in Common above in
Speaker 3: this movie, which I think is so odd. It just
Speaker 3: elba as I already mentioned, it's just like Carla Gugina
Speaker 3: is in this movie. Like it's a ridiculously stacked cast,
Speaker 3: Like everyone is a star in this movie. And yeah,
Speaker 3: it's a it's brilliant. It's the only movie I think
Speaker 3: to this day where like I will only watch the
Speaker 3: director's cut because I just need more of it. Every time.
Speaker 2: Makes sense. So no, it is not on my top ten.
Speaker 2: Here's my reasoning. I don't love Russell Crowe. Ever, this
Speaker 2: is the thing that I like him the most in.
Speaker 2: I just don't love Russell Crowe. Fine, he's no Ethan Hawk,
Speaker 2: That's all I'll say.
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, I think Ethan Hawk is better in Training
Speaker 3: Day than Russell Crowe is in American Gangster.
Speaker 2: But I get it. I'm glad. I'm glad you love it. No,
Speaker 2: we don't have the same number two number one? Then
Speaker 2: are we ready? Yeah? So Spike Lee's Malcolm X. We mean,
Speaker 2: of course this is first off, if you've never seen it,
Speaker 2: this is a long movie, but you should still watch it.
Speaker 2: Don't let that intimidate you.
Speaker 3: Like Trade in a half hours or something.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's three twenty or three twenty five,
Speaker 2: nineteen ninety two, directed by Spike Lee. Spike Lee is
Speaker 2: a big part of this movie, acting as well. But
Speaker 2: the main three that steal this whole movie Denzel Angela
Speaker 2: Bassett and the incredible Delroy Lindo. Delroy Lindo first of all,
Speaker 2: if he's in the movie, he is going to be
Speaker 2: amazing and no matter what he's in. But the the
Speaker 2: dedication to telling this story in this way is perfect
Speaker 2: through and through in this entire thing, all the way
Speaker 2: down to like the like the iconic recreation of the
Speaker 2: shot of him looking out the curtains, like goosebumps when it.
Speaker 3: Happens, so natural, because like even if you I remember
Speaker 3: seeing the still screenshot of that and I you know
Speaker 3: for a second, you have to process whether it's the
Speaker 3: real photo or not. It's so uncanny.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's seeing that, especially the first time when
Speaker 2: it was the color screenshot of the still, It's like, huh,
Speaker 2: it was weird. But yeah, Denzel, obviously he's He's carrying
Speaker 2: this entire film. He is Malcolm X. He is delivering
Speaker 2: a performance that will never be topped in his career,
Speaker 2: couldn't be topped. It's a three and a half hour
Speaker 2: just perfect, stone cold, absolute, like career best performance from
Speaker 2: somebody who only delivers career best. So many of Denzel's
Speaker 2: performances people would dream of having that be their best
Speaker 2: and it's not even his best, and most of them.
Speaker 2: Spike is in another planet making this movie. This movie
Speaker 2: is directed so beautifully, like the style that he gets
Speaker 2: from many of the shots in this obviously he's always
Speaker 2: a stylish director, but this one is it's special, Like
Speaker 2: it captures the time, the zeitgeist, the themes, the emotions,
Speaker 2: the like, the political holicies in very deep detail that
Speaker 2: you just don't expect to feel resonate so heavily. I've
Speaker 2: shown this movie to many, many people, and every single
Speaker 2: time it's just people memorized, mesmerized. Again. Long movie, but
Speaker 2: it's one that if you have not seen choose a
Speaker 2: day any day, make it a time to be able
Speaker 2: to enrich your life with three and a half hours
Speaker 2: of Spike because you deserve it. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Like, Also, what I find so fascinating about Malcolm X.
Speaker 3: I've read Malcolm X's autobiography, which is what this movie
Speaker 3: is loosely based on. I think I've read it a
Speaker 3: couple of times because I find Malcolm X just such
Speaker 3: a fascinating character just in life, you know, in history.
Speaker 3: He's such an interesting figure, and his life very much
Speaker 3: does lend itself to a film format because his life
Speaker 3: really feels like a three act structure, you know, like
Speaker 3: he starts out with like the gangster stuff and when
Speaker 3: he was a criminal, and then the second part of
Speaker 3: his life where you know, he's part of the Nation
Speaker 3: of Islam and then you know, you have the final
Speaker 3: part of his life where he leads it leaves the
Speaker 3: Nation of Islam and stuff like that. And I feel
Speaker 3: like Malcolm X does get misrepresented a lot in just
Speaker 3: history tellings and the way people quote him and the
Speaker 3: way people like talk about him. You know, they they
Speaker 3: talk about like him and Martin Luther King, like you know,
Speaker 3: they are two sides of the same that. Yeah, and
Speaker 3: Malcolm X is just such a layered and interesting person.
Speaker 3: Like this movie does not pretend that everything that Malcolm
Speaker 3: X has ever said or ever done is perfect, you know,
Speaker 3: even when he was like being a civil rights leader,
Speaker 3: where like everything is kind of that's where his life
Speaker 3: is highlighted. Even then, Like he had a lot of
Speaker 3: questionable behaviors, he had a lot of questionable ideologies, and
Speaker 3: the movie never shies away from any of that. Is
Speaker 3: it is such an earnest look at such a interesting
Speaker 3: and layered man in Denzel just crushes every single aspect
Speaker 3: of it, like every aspect of it. And obviously because
Speaker 3: it's a long movie, it's a dramatic movie about a
Speaker 3: very powerful and dramatic figure in life. So you expect
Speaker 3: it to be kind of like, you know, a very
Speaker 3: theatrical and dramatic movie, but it also can be very funny.
Speaker 3: He can also be very lighthearted. The scene where he
Speaker 3: first gets like that the poem put in or whatever,
Speaker 3: and you know it like burns his head whatever he
Speaker 3: has to stick his head in, like the bowl of
Speaker 3: water or whatever. It's so funny. And when he's wearing
Speaker 3: like those big extravagant suits with like Spike's character and
Speaker 3: like they're walking like doing that stupidly, it's like it's
Speaker 3: so good. And yeah, I don't think Spike could ever
Speaker 3: top this movie. Like as much as I think Spike
Speaker 3: Lee is a top tier director, there is something in
Speaker 3: this movie that just feels beyond him. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 3: like this could be in Spielberg's catalog and still be
Speaker 3: considered like the best Spielberg. It could be in William
Speaker 3: Freedkin's catalog and be considered the best freakin movie. Like
Speaker 3: it is just something otherworldly and everyone is completely committed
Speaker 3: to making it as good as it is. And yeah,
Speaker 3: it's such a powerful and crazy movie.
Speaker 2: I glossed over her kind of but again, Angela Bassett
Speaker 2: incredible in this movie. Unlike an emotional cornerstone that you
Speaker 2: really need in some of the scenes that she is
Speaker 2: delivering in this. Yeah, this movie is beautiful. It is
Speaker 2: well written too. I god Arnold Pearl and Alex Haley
Speaker 2: wrote this with Spike, but yeah, great stuff. Like literally
Speaker 2: through and through in this movie. There's literally nothing I
Speaker 2: would change, nothing I could take out, nothing I could add,
Speaker 2: just the the perfect movie.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I just I am so beyond words for it.
Speaker 3: I wanted to rewatch this like before we got to this,
Speaker 3: but I just didn't have time to watch a three
Speaker 3: and a half hour movie. But I will be watching
Speaker 3: it again next week.
Speaker 2: I am.
Speaker 3: I've been trying to show my fiance this movie forever,
Speaker 3: but as we both known, she's like a TikTok addict,
Speaker 3: so having her sit down and watch a three and
Speaker 3: a half hour biopic about Malcolm X is not going
Speaker 3: down smoothly. But I'll, you know, because we're engaged now,
Speaker 3: I have a lifetime to weigh you down on this.
Speaker 2: I will.
Speaker 3: I will get her to watch this eventually, but I
Speaker 3: will be I'll be watching this again next week. Yeah.
Speaker 3: It's one of those movies where like I don't rewatch
Speaker 3: it often because it is just so heavy and it
Speaker 3: is long, granted, but like as soon as I saw it,
Speaker 3: I knew it was number one without a doubt, like
Speaker 3: and that will never shift.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're gonna go through a couple that are close
Speaker 2: on our list because I kind of want to hear
Speaker 2: what else krit has close as we do that. Anybody
Speaker 2: that's still watching, did you have a different number one?
Speaker 2: If it wasn't Malcolm X, what is it? Let me
Speaker 2: know in the comments? So, I know you mentioned quite
Speaker 2: a few of mine were in like the thirteen to
Speaker 2: sixteen range? What else was close? I know your Book
Speaker 2: of Eli at eleven?
Speaker 3: Where is Book of Ela? It's quite like it's that
Speaker 3: thirty eight.
Speaker 2: Wow, that's higher than I expected. I'm gonna be honest.
Speaker 2: That movie is not good. Yeah.
Speaker 3: The thing about that movie is Gary Oldman and Denzel
Speaker 3: are very good in it. So if you ignore how
Speaker 3: horrifically ugly and how stupid it is, it is quite fun.
Speaker 2: What an argument for the film it is?
Speaker 3: I'm not I'm not kidding. It's the ugliest movie I've
Speaker 3: ever seen. It's it is abysmal looking, Like I don't,
Speaker 3: I don't, I couldn't achieve it if I wanted to
Speaker 3: if I was making a movie, I don't think I
Speaker 3: could possibly make it look that dog shit. I like,
Speaker 3: it's the only is the kind of horrific that only
Speaker 3: comes around on accident. It's yeah, it's crazy. Anyway, Right,
Speaker 3: we'll go from We'll go from twenty five and I'll
Speaker 3: just like shoot. So twenty five we have Remembered the Titans.
Speaker 3: Twenty four is the Equalizer two, which is the highest,
Speaker 3: my favorite Equalizer movie. Then we have Antoine Fisher highest
Speaker 3: to lowest at twenty two.
Speaker 2: Pretty high. Nice. Yeah.
Speaker 3: At twenty one we have The Taking of Pelham one, two, three,
Speaker 3: and then entering the top twenty we have Cry Freedom.
Speaker 3: At nineteen we have Much Ado About Nothing, which is
Speaker 3: my one of my favorite Shakespeare adaptations ever, again you know,
Speaker 3: tracing back Denzel doing Shakespeare. And then at eighteen we
Speaker 3: have a really really underrated one which is a soldier story.
Speaker 2: This is the main one that I was going to
Speaker 2: bring up as you were done, because I think you're
Speaker 2: gonna mention it. The soldier story is super underrated. Oh yeah,
Speaker 2: really great movie.
Speaker 3: Far more people need to see a soldier story. Denzel's
Speaker 3: like not even he's barely supporting. He's in like two
Speaker 3: or three scenes, but like still really good in it,
Speaker 3: but the whole movie is like very very good. At seventeen,
Speaker 3: we have Inside Man. Like we said, I forgot to
Speaker 3: say this when you were talking about this, but like
Speaker 3: you were, you were saying like that Spike avoids what
Speaker 3: this movie could have been in the other hands. And
Speaker 3: I was going to say that if Inside Man was
Speaker 3: made today, it would be a Netflix movie. Yep, it
Speaker 3: would just be straight Netflix and it would have some
Speaker 3: nameless director that Netflix knew they could just control with
Speaker 3: like just a very boring and unoriginal cast, and it
Speaker 3: would have nowhere near the flavor that this movie does.
Speaker 3: Spike Lee and its cast really save it. So Yeah,
Speaker 3: sixteen is Glory. Fifteen is Philadelphia, which I was shocked
Speaker 3: wasn't in your top ten because every time I talk
Speaker 3: to people about Denzel movies, Philadelphia is always in their
Speaker 3: top ten, and I thought I was going to get
Speaker 3: flacked for not having it in there. Fourteen is Devil
Speaker 3: in a Blue Dress. Thirteen is The Hurricane, which is, yeah,
Speaker 3: one of the most underrated Denzel movies ever, directed by
Speaker 3: Norman Jewison, who also did another dnsalm. He did a
Speaker 3: soldier story, yep. But yeah, it's about a real life boxer,
Speaker 3: Rubin Carter, Ruben the Hurricane Carter, who was wrongly in
Speaker 3: prison for murder, and it's about like his trial of
Speaker 3: like getting out of prison and stuff. It's a it's
Speaker 3: a very very very good movie if you haven't seen it.
Speaker 3: At twelve is Gladiator two and eleven is one that
Speaker 3: I've really was shocked wasn't in your top five? Really, Fences.
Speaker 2: It's good. It's just it's not the top ten. It's
Speaker 2: not It's not that special for me. I think.
Speaker 3: Granted, Fences is it's based on a play, right, It's
Speaker 3: directed by Denzil based on a play that he did.
Speaker 3: I am a big theater guy, not like musical kind
Speaker 3: of Broadway theater, but like real just like stage acting theater,
Speaker 3: and I loved Fences already as a stage play, so
Speaker 3: I was bound to love this, especially with like Viola
Speaker 3: Davis's performance in this movie, who I think again is
Speaker 3: one of the few times where Denzel gets out acted.
Speaker 3: I think Viola Davis eats him up in that movie.
Speaker 2: Yeah that makes sense, only to all shout out, since
Speaker 2: you brought up soldier story, Uh, these are nowhere near
Speaker 2: the top ten, but I feel like are massively underrated.
Speaker 2: In his filmography. Courage Underfire is pretty damn good, a
Speaker 2: big one. I feel like people just forget exist. Ricochet
Speaker 2: is he was.
Speaker 3: Gonna say Ricke. I'm I was like looking at it
Speaker 3: at my screen. I was like, he's gonna say Ricochet. Yeah,
Speaker 3: Rickochet is so fucking good, dude.
Speaker 2: I Well, the big thing is I love John Lithgow,
Speaker 2: So anything with John Lithgow is already like, oh okay,
Speaker 2: so it's a three star film even if you suck
Speaker 2: it up. And Ricochet is like pretty damn good.
Speaker 3: Actually, yeah, Rickochet is so fun. Dude's still iced tea
Speaker 3: in that movie.
Speaker 2: And it's got that scene at the outside wherever it
Speaker 2: is where Denzel is holding the gun on him and
Speaker 2: like completely disrobes to show that he's such like he's
Speaker 2: just so freaking bold. I gotta love that movie.
Speaker 3: Yeah, dude, Ricochet is so much fun.
Speaker 2: What else?
Speaker 3: Because I'm looking at my thing his The Magnificent Seven,
Speaker 3: that Antoine Fuqua remake. Yeah, I actually like it a lot.
Speaker 3: I know, like because people love the original Magnificent Seven
Speaker 3: and it's seventh Samurai whatever. Some people don't love this
Speaker 3: one as much, but I think if you just take
Speaker 3: it in a vacuum and not as a remake of
Speaker 3: what people consider a perfect movie, it is a really
Speaker 3: fun time. It's one of the few times as well
Speaker 3: where Chris Pratt is like actually really bearable. He's like
Speaker 3: quite charismatic in it. And also it reunites Ethan Hawk
Speaker 3: and Denzel True True.
Speaker 2: I love the phrase really bearable. That's like when I
Speaker 2: buy that shirt, my size is extra medium. Yeah, baking
Speaker 2: of shirt. Ronnie wants to know what your British shirt is.
Speaker 3: It's just a shirt, which is Yeah. I didn't even
Speaker 3: buy this from US, so I ordered this.
Speaker 2: Just so you know.
Speaker 3: I didn't see this in the world. I searched for
Speaker 3: this just just so we all know.
Speaker 2: Oh, chrit, I love it.
Speaker 3: What else is good? I think the Mighty Quinn. I
Speaker 3: think a lot more people would like The Mighty Quinn.
Speaker 3: It's super underrated. Yeah, he has like a Jamaican accent.
Speaker 3: He basically plays like a detective trying to Yeah, he's
Speaker 3: doing like an investigation in Jamaica. And it's really really good. Also,
Speaker 3: like it has the you know, the what's that boring
Speaker 3: guy's name from the Complete Unknown.
Speaker 2: The Boring Guy for the completed note, that's really funny.
Speaker 3: The guys based on what's his fucking l there we
Speaker 3: go bobbed him. He has the song the Mighty Quick
Speaker 3: but they do like a remix of it and it's
Speaker 3: really nice. So yeah, that's very good as well.
Speaker 2: This has been really fun. We had a lot more
Speaker 2: crossover than I expected. Yeah, it's good stuff. Literally one
Speaker 2: of the greatest actors of all time. If you haven't
Speaker 2: seen any of our top tens, please do. Absolutely worth
Speaker 2: watching all of them, but I get it. A lot
Speaker 2: of Denzel in a short period of time is intimidating,
Speaker 2: but so worth it, so worth it.
Speaker 3: I do think I watched fifty six of them in
Speaker 3: a month, and then the last week another Yeah, another
Speaker 3: ten in the past couple of days.
