Been doing a lot of 26 00:01:47.040 --> 00:01:49.519 those lately, Mister Scott Saslow, Welcome, sir. 27 00:01:50.640 --> 00:01:52.480 I'm great to finally be here. 28 00:01:53.400 --> 00:01:57.599 You are getting to be quite prolific in the physical 29 00:01:57.599 --> 00:02:00.879 media scene. Yet you can be us monest. Come on. 30 00:02:01.640 --> 00:02:04.879 First off, you are a graphic designer. Can you name 31 00:02:05.920 --> 00:02:08.159 ten or eighty seven of the titles that you've worked 32 00:02:08.199 --> 00:02:08.800 on recently? 33 00:02:10.000 --> 00:02:16.400 Recently and again mostly it's a packaging layout, booklet design. Actually, 34 00:02:16.520 --> 00:02:20.840 why don't we just pull up just wrapped Mortal Kombat, 35 00:02:21.680 --> 00:02:24.800 Bullet in the Head, Blue Thunder, the Dollars Trilogy Innerspace, 36 00:02:24.840 --> 00:02:27.800 which we'll talk about later, The Killer Hard Boiled Spaceball's 37 00:02:27.800 --> 00:02:34.680 Excalibur Westworld. That's just for Arrow, for fun City, fabulous stains. 38 00:02:35.599 --> 00:02:38.000 They just announced it the other day. I designed the 39 00:02:38.039 --> 00:02:40.879 box art for The Hills Have Eyes for Karlada Films. 40 00:02:41.400 --> 00:02:42.080 That's right. 41 00:02:42.560 --> 00:02:45.759 I don't do artwork that often. My first Arrow job 42 00:02:45.840 --> 00:02:48.360 was the film noir set that they did, you know, 43 00:02:48.479 --> 00:02:52.240 Salt Baths style they wanted. That's what they wanted, and 44 00:02:52.280 --> 00:02:54.639 they let me do you know, volumes two and three 45 00:02:54.719 --> 00:02:57.280 five years later. But it's fun. 46 00:02:57.560 --> 00:03:02.759 I Hi, I enjoy doing it, you know, that's for sure, 47 00:03:02.759 --> 00:03:04.919 and I'm working on some cool stuff as we speak. 48 00:03:06.039 --> 00:03:09.800 You are a to put it modestly in my words 49 00:03:09.840 --> 00:03:13.919 for you, you are a quite incredible graphic designer. The best 50 00:03:13.919 --> 00:03:17.120 thing that I appreciate out of your camp is layout design, 51 00:03:17.400 --> 00:03:20.479 and that is something that a lot of people don't 52 00:03:20.479 --> 00:03:22.919 even think about the differences of They mostly just think 53 00:03:22.960 --> 00:03:25.080 of the front cover art. How'd you get into layout 54 00:03:25.080 --> 00:03:29.400 design because that's such a very different sort of skill. 55 00:03:30.639 --> 00:03:34.680 I didn't get into its specific So I have a 56 00:03:34.680 --> 00:03:37.280 film degree actually from years ago. I went to a 57 00:03:37.280 --> 00:03:40.439 school in Orlando called Full Sale. You know, wanted to 58 00:03:40.439 --> 00:03:43.759 direct like everyone else, and you know, of realized didn't 59 00:03:43.759 --> 00:03:47.520 have the temperament for it. That ship sailed. Spent most 60 00:03:47.520 --> 00:03:49.960 of my twenties just doing odd jobs and temp work. 61 00:03:50.000 --> 00:03:52.439 I ended up going back to school at thirty, thank 62 00:03:52.479 --> 00:03:55.120 you very much. Went back to school at thirty for 63 00:03:55.159 --> 00:04:00.840 graphic design, and in my last semester that's when it 64 00:04:01.080 --> 00:04:04.439 kind of hit me obvious in retrospect, like I could 65 00:04:04.439 --> 00:04:08.520 combine both interests, the movies and the graphic design. And 66 00:04:10.360 --> 00:04:12.759 my last semester I actually did a couple of my 67 00:04:12.800 --> 00:04:14.960 own Blu rays. I came up with my own boutique label. 68 00:04:15.000 --> 00:04:20.000 I called it Heliotrope Films, and I did Kronenberg's Crash 69 00:04:20.439 --> 00:04:24.839 and the Parallax View. This was obviously after the Criteria 70 00:04:24.920 --> 00:04:27.680 Laser disc of Crash, but before the Criterion Blu ray 71 00:04:27.680 --> 00:04:29.839 of Parallax. But I came up with my own extras, 72 00:04:30.319 --> 00:04:33.839 did booklets, discard you know, company. 73 00:04:33.439 --> 00:04:35.720 Logo, everything, and. 74 00:04:37.199 --> 00:04:40.959 You know, moved back to LA entered at one of 75 00:04:41.000 --> 00:04:43.319 the big tent not temp agencies, one of the big 76 00:04:43.360 --> 00:04:47.279 ad agencies doing movie posters. That ended January twenty seventeen, 77 00:04:47.279 --> 00:04:50.399 and I've been freelancing ever since. One of my emails 78 00:04:50.439 --> 00:04:53.160 got into Arrow and they liked what I had done 79 00:04:53.199 --> 00:04:56.920 with this daily poster project where I was doing one 80 00:04:57.079 --> 00:05:00.160 poster a day for a year. And I mean my 81 00:05:00.240 --> 00:05:06.079 style such as it is, you know, pretty minimalist. When 82 00:05:06.120 --> 00:05:09.639 you study graphic design or really anything, you kind of 83 00:05:11.399 --> 00:05:14.600 you know, you see the designers, it's like, okay, I 84 00:05:14.639 --> 00:05:17.920 can't do what Drew Strewsen does or Peek or any 85 00:05:17.959 --> 00:05:20.120 of those guys, but I could kind of do what 86 00:05:20.240 --> 00:05:22.759 these folks do. And you start learning about you know, 87 00:05:22.800 --> 00:05:26.480 minimalism and the Swiss style, and you know, you find 88 00:05:26.519 --> 00:05:29.519 designers like Brandon Schaeffer and Sam Smith who now I 89 00:05:29.879 --> 00:05:35.040 actually can call collaborators and they're super talented, and so 90 00:05:35.079 --> 00:05:38.360 it's like, Okay, maybe I can't sit at this table, 91 00:05:38.360 --> 00:05:40.000 but there's room for me at this table. 92 00:05:40.600 --> 00:05:42.959 And you know, I did a handful of things for Arrow. 93 00:05:42.959 --> 00:05:44.759 This is when they still had the Academy line where 94 00:05:44.839 --> 00:05:48.000 my sort of minimalist style kind of worked for that. 95 00:05:49.079 --> 00:05:52.000 But it was ironically around the start of COVID early 96 00:05:52.040 --> 00:05:52.759 twenty twenty. 97 00:05:54.120 --> 00:05:54.800 Arrow brought me. 98 00:05:54.759 --> 00:05:57.079 In to do the two hundred page book for the game, 99 00:05:57.600 --> 00:06:01.800 and after that it was, you know, it's been NonStop 100 00:06:01.920 --> 00:06:05.639 ever since. I've done a few art things, you know, 101 00:06:05.720 --> 00:06:09.199 for Carl Outa films. I do some slipcovers for fun City. 102 00:06:11.519 --> 00:06:14.079 You know, haven't done any art for Arrow lately. But 103 00:06:14.120 --> 00:06:18.040 when it comes to the booklets and text and you know, 104 00:06:18.120 --> 00:06:21.439 getting creative with that and trying to work within the limitations, and. 105 00:06:23.360 --> 00:06:26.040 Yeah, I enjoy it. Every project is different. 106 00:06:26.959 --> 00:06:28.839 I'm always looking to see in the artwork, you know, 107 00:06:28.879 --> 00:06:30.079 what can I use elsewhere? 108 00:06:30.160 --> 00:06:32.800 So everything is of a piece and looks good. 109 00:06:32.839 --> 00:06:37.040 You don't want one component, you know, looking different from 110 00:06:37.120 --> 00:06:39.079 the rest, or something that doesn't fit. 111 00:06:40.279 --> 00:06:42.000 I know this is a long answer. 112 00:06:42.040 --> 00:06:43.920 But oh this is exactly what people want to hear. 113 00:06:45.120 --> 00:06:47.759 Yeah, So as far as that aspect of graphic design, 114 00:06:48.680 --> 00:06:50.800 you know, kind of fell into it. If I wasn't 115 00:06:50.800 --> 00:06:53.319 doing that, I could just as easily be doing something else. 116 00:06:55.279 --> 00:06:59.680 But no, it's I enjoy it. And I'm sure we'll 117 00:06:59.720 --> 00:07:01.519 talk ab more releases, you know, as we go. 118 00:07:02.000 --> 00:07:05.360 Yeah, we will. But one thing I did want to 119 00:07:05.360 --> 00:07:07.839 add this obviously is not in the works for right 120 00:07:07.879 --> 00:07:10.079 now or anything like that, and I'm not naming titles, 121 00:07:10.160 --> 00:07:14.360 but I really would only trust maybe two people with 122 00:07:14.480 --> 00:07:16.759 layout design right now in the way that I've got it. 123 00:07:16.839 --> 00:07:19.680 And so Scott, I can absolutely confirm will be hired 124 00:07:19.680 --> 00:07:23.399 for Antenna stuff in the near future. Funny story that 125 00:07:23.439 --> 00:07:26.120 I can't say much about, but Scott had been kind 126 00:07:26.160 --> 00:07:29.399 of hired for one project for Antenna and that didn't 127 00:07:29.439 --> 00:07:31.319 work out, not because of Scott, but because the movie 128 00:07:31.399 --> 00:07:35.079 fell through. I was so excited for that because you 129 00:07:35.160 --> 00:07:39.879 have such a unique attention to bringing in the pop 130 00:07:39.920 --> 00:07:46.040 culture aspects of an era or an industry or something 131 00:07:46.120 --> 00:07:49.240 like that. Where where does the passion for that come through? 132 00:07:49.279 --> 00:07:51.639 Because for those that have not seen it, like all 133 00:07:51.680 --> 00:07:53.319 of the stuff that you have done for Fun City 134 00:07:53.399 --> 00:07:55.800 is kind of the best example of that. You you 135 00:07:55.879 --> 00:07:58.879 really grab a hold of a style or a time 136 00:07:59.000 --> 00:08:03.800 period and everything exactly align with what you you're envisioning. 137 00:08:04.720 --> 00:08:08.839 It's I mean, I've always had this attention to detail. Yes, 138 00:08:08.879 --> 00:08:11.240 I know things can slip through sometimes. I still have 139 00:08:11.319 --> 00:08:16.279 nightmares about typos on Maul Rats. But you know, with 140 00:08:16.360 --> 00:08:19.560 fun City, that all comes from my producer, Jonathan Hertzberg, 141 00:08:20.480 --> 00:08:24.000 you know, well, and it's almost like no two releases 142 00:08:24.040 --> 00:08:27.279 are the same. There's some that are similar. But you know, 143 00:08:27.319 --> 00:08:31.720 I remember working on Paradise and he wanted the booklet 144 00:08:31.800 --> 00:08:36.039 to look like the old like TV guide, but specifically 145 00:08:36.080 --> 00:08:38.279 like the old cable channel guides in the early eighties 146 00:08:38.519 --> 00:08:42.000 anyone who grew up in La Z channel. So he 147 00:08:42.039 --> 00:08:44.120 wanted it to look like that, and he sent me 148 00:08:44.120 --> 00:08:47.120 a bunch of reference material and it's kind of a 149 00:08:47.200 --> 00:08:51.039 sadistic you know, I accept the challenge, you know kind 150 00:08:51.120 --> 00:08:55.600 of thing, but also matching matching things textures and fonts 151 00:08:55.720 --> 00:08:58.440 and you know, we're God, we're only nine minutes in. 152 00:08:58.480 --> 00:09:02.720 We're talking about fonts already. But it actually the one 153 00:09:02.720 --> 00:09:05.320 thing with Paradise, I fooled him. On the back of 154 00:09:05.440 --> 00:09:08.720 the Paradise booklet is an ad for It's an advertisement 155 00:09:08.759 --> 00:09:12.120 for the soundtrack or the Phoebe Kate single. 156 00:09:12.320 --> 00:09:12.840 I guess. 157 00:09:13.240 --> 00:09:15.080 And I sent that to him and he wrote back, 158 00:09:15.200 --> 00:09:17.320 oh my god, where'd you get that? It's like I 159 00:09:17.399 --> 00:09:21.679 made it. But he wanted that booklet to look like 160 00:09:21.679 --> 00:09:24.720 an old you know, channel guide, and so in the 161 00:09:24.759 --> 00:09:29.480 booklet those are real listings from whatever issue I had 162 00:09:29.519 --> 00:09:33.120 to work with, but he wanted Fun City titles mixed in. 163 00:09:33.279 --> 00:09:34.720 So then it was a matter of trying to match 164 00:09:34.759 --> 00:09:39.159 the existing font, painting out you know movies, making sure 165 00:09:39.200 --> 00:09:42.600 everything fit, you know, degrading the text so it looked 166 00:09:42.639 --> 00:09:47.759 like scanned text from a forty year old paper, you know, 167 00:09:47.840 --> 00:09:49.000 aging certain things. 168 00:09:49.720 --> 00:09:52.679 And that one, yeah, Paradise. What was the other one? 169 00:09:54.360 --> 00:09:54.559 You know? 170 00:09:54.600 --> 00:09:57.279 We were doing one usually with Fun City. I'm working 171 00:09:57.279 --> 00:10:01.720 on a couple at the same time, Paradise and Heavenly Bodies, 172 00:10:03.159 --> 00:10:04.840 which actually got to see on the big screen in 173 00:10:04.879 --> 00:10:10.440 Toronto with Tom rawlstdays. I went to artist and yeah, 174 00:10:10.639 --> 00:10:13.000 just embracing that retro eighties style. 175 00:10:13.240 --> 00:10:15.000 And I'm very big on authenticity. 176 00:10:15.159 --> 00:10:17.519 One of my pet peeves is when this is a 177 00:10:17.559 --> 00:10:21.759 first world problem, believe me, when older films are repackaged 178 00:10:22.279 --> 00:10:25.879 but given sort of a modern flare, whether it's a 179 00:10:25.879 --> 00:10:31.639 font or color whatever, and you know, the anachronistic you know, 180 00:10:31.720 --> 00:10:35.000 part of that I don't like. So I'm trying to, okay, 181 00:10:35.039 --> 00:10:38.840 what fonts were used in the eighties, what technology was 182 00:10:38.919 --> 00:10:40.799 used in the eighties to make this stuff? 183 00:10:42.000 --> 00:10:42.200 You know? 184 00:10:42.200 --> 00:10:44.159 Again, just so everything is of a piece and you 185 00:10:44.159 --> 00:10:49.679 could sort of, you know, if you lay everything out, 186 00:10:49.720 --> 00:10:51.000 everything fits. 187 00:10:51.399 --> 00:10:54.919 Yeah, we got a question from Paul. Paul wants to 188 00:10:54.960 --> 00:10:56.639 know what software is do you use. 189 00:10:56.519 --> 00:11:03.240 Primarily Photoshop and design illustrator when I need it? 190 00:11:03.279 --> 00:11:05.399 But yeah, so much of the work is on in design. 191 00:11:06.000 --> 00:11:08.039 And when I was as a student again I went 192 00:11:08.080 --> 00:11:13.080 back to school at thirty, you know, it's like half 193 00:11:13.120 --> 00:11:16.320 the class we're self taught in photoshop and we're intimidated 194 00:11:16.360 --> 00:11:19.600 by illustrator. Half the class we're self taught and illustrator 195 00:11:19.639 --> 00:11:25.840 and intimidated by photoshop. Yeah, but yeah, photoshop in design mainly, 196 00:11:25.879 --> 00:11:29.080 and I do pay for the Creative Cloud subscription. We 197 00:11:29.120 --> 00:11:32.519 won't get into any of that Adobe or whatever, but 198 00:11:34.879 --> 00:11:37.480 you know, it's a nice write off this time of year, that's. 199 00:11:37.279 --> 00:11:41.240 For sure, Ain't that the truth? Tonight, after announcements, we're 200 00:11:41.240 --> 00:11:44.200 gonna be talking about five of our favorite audio commentaries. 201 00:11:44.240 --> 00:11:46.080 So if you want to stay around for that after 202 00:11:46.080 --> 00:11:48.080 the announcements, please do. We would love to hear some 203 00:11:49.720 --> 00:11:51.759 thoughts on that as we go in. We're going to 204 00:11:51.840 --> 00:11:54.480 talk about travel in just a few minutes, but let's 205 00:11:54.519 --> 00:11:58.000 go into some of our normal segments. I think you've 206 00:11:58.000 --> 00:12:01.120 got some criterions to show us. Was just the Criterion sale. 207 00:12:01.159 --> 00:12:03.200 Let's going to pickups. What have you got recently, Scott, 208 00:12:03.320 --> 00:12:03.759 Oh I have? 209 00:12:04.320 --> 00:12:06.240 I don't have, Oh I have. 210 00:12:07.159 --> 00:12:07.840 Let's see. 211 00:12:09.240 --> 00:12:11.200 I literally just happened to have him right here. 212 00:12:11.360 --> 00:12:15.360 A few of them anyway, Birth, which I have not 213 00:12:15.480 --> 00:12:18.360 seen in a long time. So this one's going to 214 00:12:18.360 --> 00:12:24.200 be an interesting one to revisit. Oh, thank you very much. Yeah, 215 00:12:24.240 --> 00:12:25.799 this one's going to be an interesting one to revisit. 216 00:12:25.840 --> 00:12:27.799 I haven't seen it in years. It is the movie 217 00:12:27.799 --> 00:12:31.279 that put the composer Alexander Dasplat on the map for me, 218 00:12:31.360 --> 00:12:35.159 because the music in this movie is beautiful. Yeah, and 219 00:12:35.200 --> 00:12:37.960 it's going to be a fun one too well, to 220 00:12:38.000 --> 00:12:40.120 the extent that this movie is fun, which it's not 221 00:12:42.000 --> 00:12:45.600 an interesting experience. And it was shot by the late 222 00:12:45.679 --> 00:12:49.519 DP Harris Sivitis, who also shot the game for Fincher. 223 00:12:49.559 --> 00:12:52.200 And when we were real quick, when we were doing 224 00:12:52.200 --> 00:12:55.799 the booklet, the booklet, the book for the game, there's 225 00:12:55.799 --> 00:12:59.279 a section with sort of camera plot, you know, drawings 226 00:12:59.320 --> 00:13:02.879 of his And it was at the start of COVID. 227 00:13:02.919 --> 00:13:06.000 The BFI library was closed, the Academy library was closed, 228 00:13:06.080 --> 00:13:07.600 and it's like, what are we going to do? But 229 00:13:08.000 --> 00:13:10.840 some random Twitter account had just posted them. It's like 230 00:13:10.919 --> 00:13:16.960 found them. Next Criterion pickup in my top ten. Nice 231 00:13:17.039 --> 00:13:22.200 it literally actually just finished watching it before this great movie. 232 00:13:22.600 --> 00:13:25.159 I'm certainly not the first to point out like this. 233 00:13:25.279 --> 00:13:30.279 It could have been made today, you know. But oh 234 00:13:30.279 --> 00:13:32.000 I'm a big fan of the and drama strained too, 235 00:13:33.000 --> 00:13:37.600 but big network fan and as great as you know. 236 00:13:37.679 --> 00:13:41.559 The big I'm mad as hell scene is the corporate 237 00:13:41.639 --> 00:13:47.200 cosmology speech with net Baty is again it all works today, 238 00:13:47.240 --> 00:13:50.159 but just the way it's filmed and staged, just with 239 00:13:50.279 --> 00:13:54.639 the light shining on him. Love it and I had 240 00:13:54.679 --> 00:13:58.759 five pickups. We'll just do one more. During COVID I 241 00:13:58.919 --> 00:14:01.960 locked down. I watched this, Powell and Pressburger as I could, 242 00:14:02.679 --> 00:14:09.240 and enjoyed all of them. My favorites were actually at 243 00:14:09.279 --> 00:14:11.240 the time, my favorite was a Matter of Life and Death. 244 00:14:11.279 --> 00:14:13.399 I think my favorite overall is Life and Death of 245 00:14:13.399 --> 00:14:17.120 Colonel Blimp. But I'm slowly this is and I own 246 00:14:17.200 --> 00:14:21.000 those I don't own, thank you. I have not owned this. 247 00:14:21.000 --> 00:14:22.679 This was sort of a straight from DVD to four 248 00:14:22.759 --> 00:14:27.679 K upgrade and it's a wonderful, magical movie. And I 249 00:14:27.720 --> 00:14:32.240 wish more Americans knew who Roger Livesey was. He wasn't 250 00:14:32.279 --> 00:14:36.039 in a ton of movies, and I know he's till 251 00:14:36.080 --> 00:14:38.279 the Swinton's favorite actor. I think this is her favorite 252 00:14:38.320 --> 00:14:43.759 movie actually, But just great actor, great voice. He was 253 00:14:43.759 --> 00:14:47.000 in three Powell and Pressburger's I think he was Colonel 254 00:14:47.080 --> 00:14:52.720 Candy and Colonel Blimp and just great. And I could 255 00:14:52.720 --> 00:14:54.039 do a few more if you want, unless you want 256 00:14:54.039 --> 00:14:54.759 to move on to you. 257 00:14:54.720 --> 00:14:57.120 Are please, I've got five. You can match all. 258 00:15:01.720 --> 00:15:02.759 I mean, I have to. 259 00:15:04.120 --> 00:15:06.960 In fact, I think mine is within arm's reach because 260 00:15:06.960 --> 00:15:08.279 I just recorded about that one. 261 00:15:08.399 --> 00:15:08.879 Pretty cool. 262 00:15:08.960 --> 00:15:11.320 Actually, this this arrived before. This wasn't part of the 263 00:15:11.360 --> 00:15:13.919 recent five pickup, but it was in my hands, I 264 00:15:13.960 --> 00:15:16.639 pulled it out of the closet. I mean, what more 265 00:15:16.720 --> 00:15:19.080 is there to say? And I love I mean, I 266 00:15:19.080 --> 00:15:21.480 guess I'm what they called an elder millennial. But I 267 00:15:21.519 --> 00:15:25.240 do enjoy the videos on YouTube of gen Z kids 268 00:15:25.240 --> 00:15:27.279 watching movies for the first time, and this one always 269 00:15:27.279 --> 00:15:31.159 makes him laugh even after you know, forty years and 270 00:15:31.519 --> 00:15:35.000 rest in peace rob Ryder of course too. And then 271 00:15:35.039 --> 00:15:40.840 finally classic in art Head family, Pee Wee and sadly 272 00:15:41.000 --> 00:15:45.000 he when he passed away. A friend and I we 273 00:15:45.080 --> 00:15:47.759 had just watched Pee's Big Adventure that played at the 274 00:15:47.799 --> 00:15:51.559 Hollywood Forever Cemetery in LA so got to see it 275 00:15:51.559 --> 00:15:55.120 with an audience. People were dressed up. I think they 276 00:15:55.120 --> 00:15:59.559 had the bike on display or a bike a bike classic. 277 00:16:00.000 --> 00:16:02.559 I haven't watched the new Tim Burton, I haven't watched 278 00:16:02.600 --> 00:16:07.000 any of the new extras yet, but looking forward to it. 279 00:16:07.039 --> 00:16:07.639 And it's. 280 00:16:09.399 --> 00:16:11.320 Yeah, that's great to see. Great to see this in 281 00:16:11.360 --> 00:16:13.120 the collection of all things. 282 00:16:13.600 --> 00:16:17.080 I am dying to see that one again. I was 283 00:16:17.120 --> 00:16:19.559 shocked when they announced it when they announced it, but yeah, 284 00:16:19.679 --> 00:16:23.320 glad to have it. So I've got five here. One 285 00:16:23.720 --> 00:16:26.519 is a piece from Deaf Crocodile, and I feel bad 286 00:16:26.519 --> 00:16:29.600 because I don't think anybody else has this yet. This 287 00:16:29.639 --> 00:16:31.799 is the brand new DIFA Fairy Tales set that is 288 00:16:31.840 --> 00:16:34.399 coming out right now. Love, I'm gonna take off this 289 00:16:34.519 --> 00:16:36.519 Jake card because the whole art needs to be seen 290 00:16:36.559 --> 00:16:41.279 to appreciate the incredible set they've got here. I've not 291 00:16:41.360 --> 00:16:44.000 seen any of these in full yet. I edited a 292 00:16:44.000 --> 00:16:47.519 couple of things on these, but yeah, eager to see 293 00:16:47.519 --> 00:16:49.639 all of these because they are weird and wild and 294 00:16:50.039 --> 00:16:53.960 classic in a way that is just unique. I am 295 00:16:54.000 --> 00:16:56.639 stoked to be able to see the rest of those imprint. 296 00:16:56.720 --> 00:16:59.120 While I was in Australia, We're sending me this came 297 00:16:59.120 --> 00:17:02.960 home to five City on Fire on four K. This 298 00:17:03.080 --> 00:17:04.799 is one of their hard box releases of the Golden 299 00:17:04.839 --> 00:17:07.440 Princess titles for those that have not seen these yet. 300 00:17:07.480 --> 00:17:10.039 On the inside, it is a steel book release and 301 00:17:10.200 --> 00:17:13.839 a hardback book, and so the art that they are 302 00:17:14.079 --> 00:17:17.400 doing on these are very much the original poster art 303 00:17:17.400 --> 00:17:20.039 on the steel book, which really cool that they're doing 304 00:17:20.039 --> 00:17:22.319 that on the steel. Normally these companies would not do 305 00:17:22.359 --> 00:17:25.279 that on the steel like that. Two discs on the inside. 306 00:17:25.839 --> 00:17:31.119 Really nice set and again pretty pretty nice box e 307 00:17:31.279 --> 00:17:34.200 type book here hard back on both sides. It's probably 308 00:17:34.519 --> 00:17:37.680 I don't know, forty ish pages just by judging it. 309 00:17:37.759 --> 00:17:39.720 Lots of art on the inside, not a lot of 310 00:17:39.720 --> 00:17:42.480 written essays. But I like that they're doing it like this. 311 00:17:42.680 --> 00:17:46.920 It's a great looking set, pretty identical to the Arrow releases. 312 00:17:47.480 --> 00:17:49.519 To my eye, it looks like all of the extras 313 00:17:49.519 --> 00:17:51.680 are about the same. I know that there's been some 314 00:17:52.400 --> 00:17:55.200 question on the differences after Shout works on them. It 315 00:17:55.240 --> 00:17:57.799 looks like Aero and Imprint are getting about the same 316 00:17:57.839 --> 00:18:01.759 sort of want to call it like restoration work, but 317 00:18:01.799 --> 00:18:04.920 it's it's like touch up after Shout fixes theirs and goes, well, 318 00:18:05.119 --> 00:18:06.920 we might have missed a couple things, and we were 319 00:18:07.039 --> 00:18:09.319 quick to put ours out so Aero can fix it, 320 00:18:09.400 --> 00:18:12.839 and here we are. I got too in from Moby 321 00:18:12.960 --> 00:18:15.440 from last year, and I got to see both of 322 00:18:15.480 --> 00:18:18.039 these in the theater. Like these quite a bit. Got 323 00:18:18.079 --> 00:18:22.279 to check out Die My Love and Lurker. Lurker is 324 00:18:22.279 --> 00:18:24.279 probably the one that I would recommend to most people. 325 00:18:24.559 --> 00:18:28.440 It is very much in the modern not comedy, but 326 00:18:28.599 --> 00:18:36.279 like cringe situation kind of situational awareness thriller in a way. 327 00:18:36.839 --> 00:18:39.960 It's not like anything that's gonna be scary or anything, 328 00:18:40.000 --> 00:18:43.319 but it's a situation where the whole time you're like, oh, 329 00:18:43.359 --> 00:18:45.240 what are these people doing? Like I could see this 330 00:18:45.319 --> 00:18:48.319 person immediately turning into somebody that's gonna go off on 331 00:18:48.359 --> 00:18:50.559 the deep end and like bring a gun to a 332 00:18:50.640 --> 00:18:53.400 music studio or something like that. The movie's great. Check 333 00:18:53.440 --> 00:18:56.720 it out. It is fantastic. And then the last one 334 00:18:56.720 --> 00:18:58.680 of the show. My wife didn't get to go see 335 00:18:58.680 --> 00:19:01.720 this with me in the theater, but I loved Primate. 336 00:19:01.920 --> 00:19:03.720 Everybody needs to go see this if you've not seen 337 00:19:03.720 --> 00:19:06.880 it yet. It is pretty wild. There's a couple of 338 00:19:06.920 --> 00:19:09.400 deaths in that movie that I'm really glad that they 339 00:19:09.440 --> 00:19:12.720 showed everything that they showed because they don't they don't 340 00:19:12.720 --> 00:19:14.519 hold back. They showed a guy falling off a cliff 341 00:19:14.599 --> 00:19:21.599 and hitting the bottom and that was that was pretty explicit. Yeah, 342 00:19:21.720 --> 00:19:24.119 that's my five have you I was? 343 00:19:25.039 --> 00:19:25.839 How was Die? 344 00:19:25.920 --> 00:19:29.799 My Love Die? My Love is is really well acted. 345 00:19:30.319 --> 00:19:32.480 It's Lynn Ramsey, So if you're a Lynn Ramsey fan, 346 00:19:32.519 --> 00:19:35.480 you'll probably love it a lot. It is very Lynn Ramsey. 347 00:19:36.839 --> 00:19:41.920 Jennifer in That is great. She is just an incredible actress. 348 00:19:42.400 --> 00:19:45.160 Robert Pattinson fantastic. He's in it a lot less than 349 00:19:45.200 --> 00:19:48.160 she is, But I could see a lot of people 350 00:19:48.160 --> 00:19:52.799 being frustrated. It's not super linear, normal narrative type of story. 351 00:19:52.920 --> 00:19:56.400 But if you are a parent, if you're a new mother, 352 00:19:56.559 --> 00:20:00.279 if you're somebody that struggled with like a very young marriage, 353 00:20:00.559 --> 00:20:03.559 it's probably going to hit very home with you as 354 00:20:03.599 --> 00:20:06.759 a viewer. Highly recommend checking it out at least once 355 00:20:06.880 --> 00:20:10.000 if that's your type of film. Otherwise I could see 356 00:20:10.039 --> 00:20:12.240 you walk away going like, oh, that was not even 357 00:20:12.400 --> 00:20:13.119 fun to watch. 358 00:20:15.359 --> 00:20:17.759 Yeah, that one's on the list. I have such a 359 00:20:17.839 --> 00:20:21.359 huge backlog of movies same watch. 360 00:20:22.599 --> 00:20:24.680 Well, speaking of that, what have you been checking out. 361 00:20:26.079 --> 00:20:31.079 Lately? God? What have I been checking out? Actually? 362 00:20:31.079 --> 00:20:33.640 Even though I as far as older stuff, even though 363 00:20:33.640 --> 00:20:35.519 I've watched them a million times and most of my 364 00:20:35.720 --> 00:20:38.880 stuffs in storage at the moment. You know, the all 365 00:20:38.880 --> 00:20:41.640 the Alien movies are back on HBO Max, including the 366 00:20:42.240 --> 00:20:45.880 extended cuts. Yeah, for at least three of them, but 367 00:20:46.400 --> 00:20:49.880 the assembly cut for Alien three being on HBO that's 368 00:20:49.920 --> 00:20:53.519 actually been getting some traction online even though it's been 369 00:20:53.599 --> 00:20:57.319 streaming before. And the Alien Anthology set's been available for 370 00:20:58.279 --> 00:21:01.839 a decade now, at least you know, I'm sure there 371 00:21:01.880 --> 00:21:05.200 are people getting turned onto it for the first time, and. 372 00:21:06.440 --> 00:21:09.720 You know, great. You know, so I. 373 00:21:09.400 --> 00:21:13.880 Rewatched that in Alien Resurrection, which I used to not 374 00:21:14.079 --> 00:21:16.880 really be a fan of, but I've come around to it. 375 00:21:18.240 --> 00:21:20.359 And also it's one of my favorite lines in the franchise, 376 00:21:20.440 --> 00:21:23.160 right at the end, where you know, Sigourney Weaver says, 377 00:21:23.240 --> 00:21:30.680 I'm a stranger here myself. I've also been rewatching news Radio, 378 00:21:31.440 --> 00:21:32.960 which is on the Roku channel. 379 00:21:33.079 --> 00:21:37.480 Again. My DVD set also in storage, but I recently. 380 00:21:38.559 --> 00:21:42.599 There's a podcast called die Hard on a Blank and 381 00:21:43.000 --> 00:21:45.640 where they talk about you know, they start with die 382 00:21:45.680 --> 00:21:48.160 Hard and they work their way forward, you know, action 383 00:21:48.319 --> 00:21:50.920 movies that mold, so I've been catching up on and 384 00:21:50.960 --> 00:21:55.319 they touch on other films action films too, So, you know, 385 00:21:55.359 --> 00:21:56.960 over the last several months, I've been catching up with 386 00:21:56.960 --> 00:21:58.960 a lot of eighties and nineties action films I missed 387 00:21:58.960 --> 00:22:02.960 out on the first time. Not all great, but movies 388 00:22:03.039 --> 00:22:07.240 like a Judgment Night, which they mentioned. They don't cover it. 389 00:22:07.240 --> 00:22:09.319 It's not a Diehard type of movie, but they mentioned 390 00:22:09.400 --> 00:22:13.079 Judgment Night, which I quite enjoyed. Didn't know what to expect. 391 00:22:13.759 --> 00:22:15.599 What else did I watch? Southern Comfort for the first 392 00:22:15.680 --> 00:22:19.119 time good movie, which I at the last fifteen minutes, 393 00:22:19.240 --> 00:22:21.920 I had no clue what to expect or you know, 394 00:22:21.960 --> 00:22:24.480 what would happen. On the other hand, I was probably 395 00:22:24.519 --> 00:22:28.480 the only person on the planet watching free Jack, which 396 00:22:28.599 --> 00:22:30.559 again they didn't cover on the podcast, but they just 397 00:22:30.640 --> 00:22:34.400 mentioned it in the conversation or a chill Factor with 398 00:22:34.440 --> 00:22:37.680 Cuba Goodding Junior, which I was led to believe was 399 00:22:37.720 --> 00:22:39.720 die Hard on an ice cream truck. They're in a 400 00:22:39.759 --> 00:22:42.200 delivery truck with ice cream in it. They're not in 401 00:22:42.240 --> 00:22:46.279 an ice cream truck, right, So just to show you 402 00:22:46.359 --> 00:22:50.759 what I've been watching lately, And I'm probably the youngest 403 00:22:50.799 --> 00:22:53.680 fan of the TV series Get Smart from the sixties, 404 00:22:54.279 --> 00:22:56.920 and I might be ruining it by saying that, but 405 00:22:56.960 --> 00:22:59.720 someone uploaded the entirety of the show to the Internet archive, 406 00:23:01.240 --> 00:23:03.559 so I've had some of that playing in the background too, 407 00:23:03.640 --> 00:23:06.039 And you know what still makes me laugh after all 408 00:23:06.079 --> 00:23:06.519 this time. 409 00:23:07.799 --> 00:23:10.720 I know I've seen a lot of the show, but 410 00:23:10.759 --> 00:23:12.799 it's been so long it would be like a first 411 00:23:12.839 --> 00:23:15.240 time watch if I went back to it. My grandparents 412 00:23:15.279 --> 00:23:18.160 used to love it, and I mean I swear certain 413 00:23:18.160 --> 00:23:20.359 episodes I could probably quote to this day. But God, 414 00:23:20.480 --> 00:23:24.759 it's been decades, easily twenty five plus years. 415 00:23:24.880 --> 00:23:27.119 Well, I had to look I was telling a friend 416 00:23:27.119 --> 00:23:29.279 about it, and I had to look it up for 417 00:23:29.359 --> 00:23:31.599 the date, and it was a week before my birthday, 418 00:23:31.640 --> 00:23:35.440 actually January nineteen ninety one. When it first premiered on 419 00:23:35.519 --> 00:23:38.039 Nick at Night, they did a marathon called Maximum Smart. 420 00:23:38.119 --> 00:23:42.079 It was eight pm to six am, five days. And 421 00:23:42.440 --> 00:23:44.759 I was already a fan of Inspector Gadget with voice 422 00:23:44.799 --> 00:23:48.119 foul Don Adams. So all it took was about thirty 423 00:23:48.160 --> 00:23:54.319 seconds agreed on the best title sequence. So I was 424 00:23:54.319 --> 00:23:56.960 already fan of Don Adams. And it was one of 425 00:23:57.000 --> 00:24:00.559 those shows, same with News Radio later where within five minutes, 426 00:24:00.759 --> 00:24:04.480 I'm in. I'm a fan, Yeah, right or Die Dick 427 00:24:04.559 --> 00:24:10.920 Gaudier played Timie the Robot. But again all this knowledge 428 00:24:10.920 --> 00:24:15.279 in my head. But yeah, I haven't watched a ton 429 00:24:15.519 --> 00:24:21.519 of new stuff lately. Unfortunately, did you see one battle 430 00:24:21.519 --> 00:24:24.759 after another? I did watch, you know, basically I haven't 431 00:24:24.759 --> 00:24:29.559 watched all the Oscar nominees. I enjoyed it. I think 432 00:24:29.559 --> 00:24:32.799 my favorite PTA films are still Boogie Nights in Magnolia. 433 00:24:33.440 --> 00:24:37.079 That makes sense every time, every so often, if I 434 00:24:37.079 --> 00:24:40.119 watched Magnolia at the end. I'm just thinking, God, he 435 00:24:40.200 --> 00:24:41.759 wasn't even thirty yet when. 436 00:24:41.559 --> 00:24:45.920 He made it, and that wasn't even his first film 437 00:24:45.920 --> 00:24:50.839 either that he did historic things before that. Yeah, crazy 438 00:24:50.880 --> 00:24:53.799 timing for him. So I got to see two in 439 00:24:53.920 --> 00:24:57.599 theaters since our last show, which was last Thursday. While 440 00:24:57.599 --> 00:24:59.640 in New Zealand, and one day we went to see 441 00:25:00.160 --> 00:25:04.200 They Will Kill You, the New Zazie Beats film, and 442 00:25:04.640 --> 00:25:08.759 Tom Felton is also in that. Patricia Arcatt, a couple 443 00:25:08.799 --> 00:25:12.680 other names that were pretty good. It is very violent. 444 00:25:12.799 --> 00:25:16.119 It is it is essentially like a lot of people 445 00:25:16.160 --> 00:25:20.240 are saying, it's basically kill Bill, like in an apartment building. 446 00:25:20.599 --> 00:25:23.920 It's so different than that. It is very good. It 447 00:25:23.960 --> 00:25:26.839 has acted well. The story. You got to suspend a 448 00:25:26.839 --> 00:25:31.119 lot of belief to it. It's an over the top, 449 00:25:31.119 --> 00:25:33.359 bloody violent film, so you just got to be like, oh, yeah, 450 00:25:33.480 --> 00:25:35.680 this is the the universe that we're making this movie in, 451 00:25:35.759 --> 00:25:38.640 which makes sense. On that note. It's entertaining, it's fun, 452 00:25:38.680 --> 00:25:42.119 it's great. It's not like peak cinema or anything. The 453 00:25:42.160 --> 00:25:44.400 next one though pretty close to that. I finally got 454 00:25:44.400 --> 00:25:47.000 to see Project Hill Mary. I am quite happy I 455 00:25:47.039 --> 00:25:49.440 got to see that on the big screen. It is great. 456 00:25:49.519 --> 00:25:53.759 Ryan Gosling is great. Really happy with how they taught 457 00:25:53.839 --> 00:25:57.839 a lot of very heady silence not silence science without 458 00:25:57.880 --> 00:26:00.359 feeling like they were speaking down to the audience. It 459 00:26:00.440 --> 00:26:03.759 was very much like step in with us, rather than 460 00:26:04.119 --> 00:26:06.319 we're going to stand on a stage and speak down 461 00:26:06.319 --> 00:26:10.000 to you. I thought it was quite great. I really 462 00:26:10.119 --> 00:26:12.519 enjoyed the visuals in it. That's the big thing. Lord 463 00:26:12.519 --> 00:26:15.720 and Miller are really great at capturing just like captivating 464 00:26:16.200 --> 00:26:21.160 full throated beauty, essentially in very different situations. I thought 465 00:26:21.160 --> 00:26:25.599 it was pretty incredible for a blockbuster. More people see it. 466 00:26:25.839 --> 00:26:28.200 I haven't seen it yet. I did read the book 467 00:26:28.599 --> 00:26:30.759 just last year. Actually nice. 468 00:26:31.160 --> 00:26:34.319 I enjoyed it, got a you know, emotional at the end. 469 00:26:35.119 --> 00:26:36.039 Yeah, but. 470 00:26:37.480 --> 00:26:39.799 Yeah, it's certainly on the list, that's for sure. And yeah, 471 00:26:39.799 --> 00:26:44.480 and props to Greg Frasier the DP on that one too. 472 00:26:45.240 --> 00:26:48.920 Excellent. Excellent. And then the last thing I've talked about 473 00:26:48.920 --> 00:26:51.400 on the show probably eight hundred times, one of my 474 00:26:51.400 --> 00:26:53.519 favorite TV shows of all time, maybe my favorite TV 475 00:26:53.559 --> 00:26:55.799 show of all time comes back this week task Master 476 00:26:55.920 --> 00:26:59.079 over in the UK, And because of that, I showed 477 00:26:59.079 --> 00:27:01.480 my wife the show last one laughing. If you've never 478 00:27:01.519 --> 00:27:03.839 seen it. It is kind of similar to Task Master. 479 00:27:03.960 --> 00:27:07.279 They get ten UK comedians together in one room and 480 00:27:07.480 --> 00:27:10.839 the mission is to make everybody else laugh and you 481 00:27:10.880 --> 00:27:13.599 can't laugh. If you laugh twice, you're out of the game, 482 00:27:13.960 --> 00:27:15.680 and they go on a I think it's a six 483 00:27:15.759 --> 00:27:18.640 episode season to go from ten comedians down to one. 484 00:27:18.759 --> 00:27:22.240 It is some of the funniest but quiet humor that 485 00:27:22.240 --> 00:27:25.599 you've ever seen because nobody is laughing. It is great. 486 00:27:25.759 --> 00:27:29.559 It is witty. It is so hard to even hear 487 00:27:29.640 --> 00:27:32.240 everything because there's so many jokes that you're dying laughing. 488 00:27:32.759 --> 00:27:34.880 It's great. It's on an Amazon Prime. Check it out. 489 00:27:34.880 --> 00:27:39.759 There's two seasons currently, both very very good. But we 490 00:27:40.160 --> 00:27:43.440 should talk about travel. I'm gonna highlight some of the 491 00:27:43.440 --> 00:27:45.079 things that I did while on my trip, but I 492 00:27:45.079 --> 00:27:47.279 wanted to ask you, but the last handful of years 493 00:27:47.319 --> 00:27:49.480 you've been a bit of a digital nomad. How did 494 00:27:49.519 --> 00:27:50.839 that life come about for you? 495 00:27:51.640 --> 00:27:51.720 So? 496 00:27:52.319 --> 00:27:55.200 I mean, I suppose, deep down it was always something 497 00:27:55.240 --> 00:28:01.440 I was thinking about. 498 00:27:59.240 --> 00:27:59.559 But. 499 00:28:01.160 --> 00:28:03.240 So in God, what are we in twenty twenty six, 500 00:28:03.359 --> 00:28:08.440 twenty twenty three, I decided, you know what, got to 501 00:28:08.440 --> 00:28:10.920 do this. I went to Dublin for the graphic designer 502 00:28:10.960 --> 00:28:14.359 Annie Atkins's workshop. Annie Atkins is the graphic designer on 503 00:28:14.400 --> 00:28:17.279 a lot of Wes Anderson's films. She's worked on some 504 00:28:17.279 --> 00:28:21.519 Spielberg titles. You know, you don't know who Anny Atkins is. 505 00:28:21.759 --> 00:28:22.759 Google her you'll. 506 00:28:22.559 --> 00:28:23.160 Know her work. 507 00:28:23.960 --> 00:28:26.680 But she has a two day workshop in Dublin. Each 508 00:28:26.759 --> 00:28:29.839 day five hours and it's like, you know what I'm 509 00:28:29.880 --> 00:28:35.119 doing this. I got a passport actually right before COVID lockdown, 510 00:28:35.440 --> 00:28:38.960 before the world shut down, and I had never been 511 00:28:38.960 --> 00:28:41.119 outside the United States. So I did a week in Dublin, 512 00:28:41.680 --> 00:28:45.079 two in London, and then one in Edinburgh, and it 513 00:28:45.119 --> 00:28:48.279 was during the Fringe festival, so it was insane. I 514 00:28:48.279 --> 00:28:50.279 even ran into one of my old Win Droft classmates 515 00:28:50.400 --> 00:28:53.519 who I hadn't seen in the mazes. And after that, 516 00:28:53.720 --> 00:28:56.599 once I was on my connection back to la So 517 00:28:56.640 --> 00:29:01.000 I'm in Calgary talking to my parents and they say, oh, 518 00:29:01.039 --> 00:29:03.839 you're probably disappointed you're going back, and I told them, 519 00:29:03.960 --> 00:29:06.319 without any hint of irony. 520 00:29:06.559 --> 00:29:08.440 I got to keep this up. I don't want to 521 00:29:08.440 --> 00:29:09.519 go back. I want to keep going. 522 00:29:10.079 --> 00:29:11.680 And I realized I'm lucky enough to be in a 523 00:29:11.720 --> 00:29:15.119 position where I can do this, so I slowly, you know, 524 00:29:15.160 --> 00:29:18.200 put my stuff in storage, found someone. 525 00:29:18.039 --> 00:29:18.799 To cover my. 526 00:29:20.559 --> 00:29:24.960 Yeah, I found someone to take over my apartment, much 527 00:29:25.000 --> 00:29:27.079 to the annoyance of my roommate. 528 00:29:27.319 --> 00:29:30.720 That everything's okay. I was in a car accident, so 529 00:29:30.759 --> 00:29:33.359 that took care of that. Not my fault. 530 00:29:34.519 --> 00:29:37.640 It was a dui and hit and run of all kinds. 531 00:29:39.119 --> 00:29:40.720 But I got a couple of bucks out of that. 532 00:29:41.519 --> 00:29:45.359 And so twenty twenty four I did six months just 533 00:29:45.480 --> 00:29:48.400 crisscrossing the UK. I've seen more of that country than 534 00:29:49.359 --> 00:29:50.880 some of the people there. I got to meet up 535 00:29:50.880 --> 00:29:53.519 with the folks from Marrow at the pub, I got 536 00:29:53.519 --> 00:29:55.440 to meet with some fellow designers, got to go to 537 00:29:55.519 --> 00:30:01.559 the Vice Press open house, nice and one. I'm waiting. 538 00:30:01.920 --> 00:30:03.720 I'm at the Vice Press open house. I'm waiting for 539 00:30:03.799 --> 00:30:06.960 the they. I think it was a Japanese variant Star 540 00:30:07.000 --> 00:30:10.000 Trek two poster that Matt had done, because once they 541 00:30:10.000 --> 00:30:12.960 announced that deal with Paramount, it's like, oh God, and 542 00:30:13.039 --> 00:30:15.359 now I have to buy them all. And someone comes 543 00:30:15.400 --> 00:30:17.960 up to me while I'm waiting on the line, Scott, 544 00:30:17.960 --> 00:30:21.000 it's you, who are you? But it was the it 545 00:30:21.039 --> 00:30:25.640 was Lori Greasley, talented illustrator and we'd never met. And 546 00:30:25.960 --> 00:30:27.720 you know, when you're online, no one knows what anyone 547 00:30:27.759 --> 00:30:33.359 looks like. So that was pretty cool. And so that 548 00:30:33.440 --> 00:30:36.720 was six months there, and then I did five months Australia, 549 00:30:36.759 --> 00:30:37.359 New Zealand. 550 00:30:38.599 --> 00:30:41.519 I just got back from eight months. I did three 551 00:30:41.519 --> 00:30:44.799 in Europe and then another five in London, this time 552 00:30:45.000 --> 00:30:47.640 just London, and I tell people I haven't missed one 553 00:30:47.680 --> 00:30:50.759 day of work, got to meet the got to meet 554 00:30:50.839 --> 00:30:55.160 up with the Arrow folks again. And although I don't 555 00:30:55.160 --> 00:30:56.279 know if I'll be able to I don't know if 556 00:30:56.279 --> 00:30:57.400 I'll be out of the. 557 00:30:57.319 --> 00:30:59.960 Country as long as eight months, probably just between three 558 00:31:00.039 --> 00:31:03.160 and six at this point. Not sure where I'm going next. 559 00:31:03.720 --> 00:31:08.119 Have to take care of some stuff here at home. Yeah, 560 00:31:08.160 --> 00:31:11.039 you know, I crash with family, you know, when I'm 561 00:31:11.079 --> 00:31:14.759 back in the States, and yeah, it's. 562 00:31:16.119 --> 00:31:17.359 It's an interesting way to live. 563 00:31:18.039 --> 00:31:20.759 All my stuff's in storage and it'll be there, you 564 00:31:20.799 --> 00:31:23.519 know when I'm I tell people I want to keep 565 00:31:23.559 --> 00:31:26.240 doing this until I either run out of money, which 566 00:31:26.319 --> 00:31:29.359 hopefully does not happen, get bored, which I don't think 567 00:31:29.359 --> 00:31:33.119 will happen, or or meet someone, fall in love and 568 00:31:33.480 --> 00:31:37.519 stay which if I don't, you know, if I can, 569 00:31:37.799 --> 00:31:40.519 if I don't sabotage things, maybe that will happen one day, 570 00:31:40.759 --> 00:31:44.519 but we won't get into that. You know, it's fun 571 00:31:44.759 --> 00:31:47.559 and you know I tell my friends, you know I'm 572 00:31:47.680 --> 00:31:51.319 still always there. You know you need me since you 573 00:31:51.359 --> 00:31:53.480 know I can do this, but I'm always still trying to, 574 00:31:53.519 --> 00:31:56.039 you know, pay it forward and be there for people. 575 00:31:57.440 --> 00:31:59.640 And can a test you. You were pretty much always 576 00:31:59.720 --> 00:32:03.519 very pick to respond. You were always on it. Obvious question. 577 00:32:03.640 --> 00:32:06.039 But where are you hoping to go? Anywhere? 578 00:32:06.039 --> 00:32:09.759 That's on the list, certainly more in Europe because I 579 00:32:09.799 --> 00:32:12.200 think most Americans, if you're just on a regular visa, 580 00:32:12.240 --> 00:32:14.079 you could only do three out of every six months. 581 00:32:14.799 --> 00:32:18.319 So I was thinking something like Austria, where I actually 582 00:32:18.319 --> 00:32:24.880 have some ancestry, Austria, Switzerland, Czech Republic. I really want 583 00:32:24.920 --> 00:32:29.039 to do Iceland. I'd like to make it to Japan 584 00:32:29.119 --> 00:32:31.559 at some point, but I can't sleep on planes. That's 585 00:32:31.599 --> 00:32:35.240 a long flight, you know, flying from Auckland to la 586 00:32:36.599 --> 00:32:39.720 you know, couldn't sleep a wink. And with you would 587 00:32:39.759 --> 00:32:42.319 have just experienced with the international dateline, you actually arrived 588 00:32:42.319 --> 00:32:44.920 before you leave, which is a trip, that's for sure. 589 00:32:45.880 --> 00:32:47.839 Yeah, I was going to talk about that just a minute. 590 00:32:47.880 --> 00:32:52.200 It was a very weird experience flying across the International Dateline. 591 00:32:53.079 --> 00:32:55.200 I wasn't going to do this, but a lot of 592 00:32:55.240 --> 00:32:57.200 people ask me to share some things, so I put 593 00:32:57.240 --> 00:32:59.279 together some of the photos from everything, just to be 594 00:32:59.319 --> 00:33:01.920 able to talk about what happened. Wanted to shout out 595 00:33:01.960 --> 00:33:04.400 Tony and Natalie who Tony let us stay with him, 596 00:33:04.400 --> 00:33:06.920 Tony Miechus, who's in the chat. Thank you Tony from 597 00:33:06.920 --> 00:33:09.200 the Imprint cast. This is their little welcome to Australia 598 00:33:09.240 --> 00:33:12.039 gift basket that they gave my wife and I. There's 599 00:33:12.440 --> 00:33:15.400 our first immediate lunch with Tony and my wife talking 600 00:33:15.440 --> 00:33:18.440 with Tony, and then we went down to see the beach. 601 00:33:18.559 --> 00:33:21.240 This was literally three and a half hours after we 602 00:33:21.279 --> 00:33:24.240 got to Australia. After I think that first flight was 603 00:33:25.119 --> 00:33:27.319 I think it was sixteen and a half hours. We 604 00:33:27.400 --> 00:33:30.640 flew from Dallas to Sydney this time, which that is 605 00:33:30.640 --> 00:33:34.039 a long flight, and the whole thing was in the night, 606 00:33:34.240 --> 00:33:37.759 so it was exhausting. I only slept about three hours 607 00:33:37.839 --> 00:33:40.640 that time. Here we are on the beach, just my 608 00:33:40.680 --> 00:33:43.440 wife and I and then we started going around town. 609 00:33:43.759 --> 00:33:46.400 Tony took us to the Ritz Theater. This place was great. 610 00:33:46.480 --> 00:33:49.279 Here's one of the old classic cameras they had for 611 00:33:49.359 --> 00:33:52.160 display there. He of course had to take us to 612 00:33:52.279 --> 00:33:55.240 some physical media shops. Here's one of his favorites top ten. 613 00:33:55.400 --> 00:33:58.279 This is in downtown Sydney and it was glorious. They 614 00:33:58.319 --> 00:34:01.880 had way more imports that I expected them to have. 615 00:34:02.319 --> 00:34:04.279 Some of them a little over priced, but if you're there, 616 00:34:04.359 --> 00:34:06.359 check it out. This place kind of hard to find. 617 00:34:06.480 --> 00:34:09.280 It's like recessed off of the road, so it's very 618 00:34:09.320 --> 00:34:11.480 easy to walk by and not see this. This is 619 00:34:11.480 --> 00:34:12.840 standing right in front of it, but you had to 620 00:34:12.840 --> 00:34:16.039 walk down I don't know, probably one hundred and twenty 621 00:34:16.039 --> 00:34:18.360 feet of an alley before you get here, so it's 622 00:34:18.360 --> 00:34:21.440 a little bit, a little bit hidden, but you're in Australia. 623 00:34:21.599 --> 00:34:23.920 Had to go to JBA Hi Fi. Got a couple 624 00:34:24.000 --> 00:34:27.280 titles here, show those on the show last week. Here's 625 00:34:27.519 --> 00:34:30.960 John Matthews from a New Way video with the very 626 00:34:30.960 --> 00:34:33.559 funny expression standing in front of Radio Free Alis. By 627 00:34:33.559 --> 00:34:35.639 the way, Radio Free Alis in Sydney. You can now 628 00:34:35.639 --> 00:34:37.519 pick up the Physical Media Advocate there. We're gonna be 629 00:34:37.519 --> 00:34:42.599 talking about that more eventually. Next up, great food, lots 630 00:34:42.599 --> 00:34:45.320 of Asian inspired dishes that we had loved it. There. 631 00:34:45.800 --> 00:34:47.960 Where's the been the best country for food for you 632 00:34:48.039 --> 00:34:48.440 so far. 633 00:34:48.360 --> 00:34:52.119 Scott God, I'm so not a foodie, to be honest, 634 00:34:53.000 --> 00:34:56.559 and usually, and I'm such an American, not that I 635 00:34:56.599 --> 00:34:58.880 go to the American chains, but I will try to 636 00:34:58.920 --> 00:35:03.159 find their version of it, like what's the what's the 637 00:35:03.159 --> 00:35:07.360 best pizza in Sydney, what's the cool burger joint in London? 638 00:35:07.519 --> 00:35:09.800 Or you know, things like that. But I'm so not 639 00:35:09.920 --> 00:35:16.159 adventure adventurous with any of that. Plus too much, too 640 00:35:16.199 --> 00:35:19.239 much junk food is always an issue with me too. 641 00:35:19.440 --> 00:35:22.239 In London, they have these big candy stores, but it'll 642 00:35:22.280 --> 00:35:26.440 literally say American candy store and it has everything, you know, 643 00:35:26.480 --> 00:35:30.480 because Reese's Emergey stuff is not as common there. Although 644 00:35:30.519 --> 00:35:32.800 then I read an article that said, like all the 645 00:35:32.800 --> 00:35:35.519 people who run those stores know each other, and you know, 646 00:35:35.559 --> 00:35:38.360 the articles speculated it's like one big money laundering scheme 647 00:35:38.480 --> 00:35:40.400 or something. It's like I say that if you don't 648 00:35:40.440 --> 00:35:44.719 have proof I spent money in these places, but I 649 00:35:44.800 --> 00:35:48.400 do well. I you know, my Sydney. Just through my 650 00:35:48.480 --> 00:35:50.840 Sydney trip, I was visiting a friend in Atlanta, so 651 00:35:50.840 --> 00:35:53.159 it was going to be Atlanta to LA to Sydney. 652 00:35:53.760 --> 00:35:58.159 Oh geez, the Atlanta trip. That flight was canceled like 653 00:35:58.360 --> 00:36:01.920 just canceled. They'd already started and then it was just canceled. 654 00:36:02.519 --> 00:36:04.320 And the airlines at this point, you know, they just 655 00:36:04.360 --> 00:36:08.079 rebook you automatically, so you never really know until you check. 656 00:36:08.199 --> 00:36:12.679 So my flight became Atlanta to Miami, which is nothing. 657 00:36:13.000 --> 00:36:19.679 Miami to Santiago, Chile, Santiago to Sydney. Who And when 658 00:36:19.679 --> 00:36:22.400 I got to my Airbnb, I had to download a 659 00:36:22.440 --> 00:36:26.679 single five megabyte jpeg. It was after ten minutes. It 660 00:36:26.760 --> 00:36:28.760 was like, this is gonna be a problem. So I 661 00:36:28.840 --> 00:36:31.679 ended up working with the in the reading room at 662 00:36:31.679 --> 00:36:35.239 the Central Library. So most of Dark City was. 663 00:36:37.000 --> 00:36:37.599 Done there. 664 00:36:37.760 --> 00:36:42.360 Ironically, since it was filmed in Australia, you know, I'm 665 00:36:42.360 --> 00:36:44.519 trying to think, yeah, a few other It's like, now 666 00:36:44.519 --> 00:36:46.679 when I look at the titles I've worked on, it's like, 667 00:36:46.800 --> 00:36:49.840 oh that country and fabulous stains was worked on three 668 00:36:49.880 --> 00:36:54.320 different continents at this point, that makes. 669 00:36:54.079 --> 00:36:56.599 Sense, all right. So that's one of the photos of 670 00:36:56.639 --> 00:37:00.559 the food. Here is the the Sydney Naval Harbor took 671 00:37:00.599 --> 00:37:03.199 a fun picture of that at night, and then Tony 672 00:37:03.320 --> 00:37:07.119 and everybody else threw a physical media get together barbecue. 673 00:37:07.960 --> 00:37:10.519 This was at Tony's house. Here is everybody that was 674 00:37:10.519 --> 00:37:13.239 there lots of names you'll recognize. We got Paul, who's 675 00:37:13.280 --> 00:37:15.039 in the chat right now, Ki Ray who's in the chat, 676 00:37:15.079 --> 00:37:17.559 Tony who's in the Chat. We got Brett. We've got 677 00:37:17.639 --> 00:37:19.719 a handful of others that you'll hear about at some point, 678 00:37:19.760 --> 00:37:23.760 I'm sure. But we also got visited by a Huntsman 679 00:37:23.880 --> 00:37:27.679 spider that I was told this was very rare, and 680 00:37:27.719 --> 00:37:29.440 I said, well, I see one while they I'm here. 681 00:37:29.480 --> 00:37:32.360 They said, probably not, and then he showed up, So 682 00:37:32.400 --> 00:37:33.000 that was funny. 683 00:37:34.239 --> 00:37:34.639 I did not. 684 00:37:34.760 --> 00:37:37.480 You don't thank to say you don't look like you 685 00:37:37.559 --> 00:37:43.639 and Joy Spiders. Uh. This is a very fun store 686 00:37:43.679 --> 00:37:46.599 owned by a friend of Tony's named Andrew This This 687 00:37:46.719 --> 00:37:49.920 store just opened literally about a month before we got there. 688 00:37:50.159 --> 00:37:52.039 Funny enough, you can now pick up the Physical Media 689 00:37:52.039 --> 00:37:53.920 Advocate in this store as well. We're gonna be talking 690 00:37:53.920 --> 00:37:57.880 about that soon. This is a great little store. If 691 00:37:57.880 --> 00:38:00.559 you're there, go check it out. We'll give you more 692 00:38:00.559 --> 00:38:03.320 details on that. But then my favorite part of the 693 00:38:03.360 --> 00:38:07.320 trip maybe well that I can talk about. We went 694 00:38:07.400 --> 00:38:10.880 to the Meg, which is the home of Nick Nikolau's 695 00:38:10.880 --> 00:38:14.440 makeup effects group. He worked on tons of movies that 696 00:38:14.480 --> 00:38:17.360 you've heard of lots of Aussi classics like cut which 697 00:38:17.400 --> 00:38:19.840 I love. They worked on the matrix. We got to 698 00:38:19.880 --> 00:38:22.679 see the baby from the Matrix, and we got to 699 00:38:22.719 --> 00:38:25.079 see so many things that they've done in the past. 700 00:38:25.239 --> 00:38:31.559 This is one of the burned up nuclear victims, we'll say, 701 00:38:32.679 --> 00:38:35.840 just some incredible pieces in this essentially like a little 702 00:38:35.920 --> 00:38:39.400 museum that they had. Then in the back room he 703 00:38:39.519 --> 00:38:43.159 just has suddenly the biggest Star Wars collection I've ever seen. 704 00:38:44.239 --> 00:38:47.239 This was insane what he's got so much of it 705 00:38:47.320 --> 00:38:50.320 is like brand new inbox still but I know we 706 00:38:50.360 --> 00:38:51.920 got a lot of Star Wars fans heres wanted to 707 00:38:51.920 --> 00:38:55.280 share some of those, but then showed even more of 708 00:38:55.320 --> 00:38:58.599 his art and pieces that they've worked on, stuff that 709 00:38:58.639 --> 00:39:02.639 has been from way back when. This is an original 710 00:39:02.639 --> 00:39:06.039 piece from Mary Poppins that was like a test piece 711 00:39:06.079 --> 00:39:08.000 of the clothing I believe of what they were gonna do. 712 00:39:08.360 --> 00:39:10.800 This was incredible. This is an original cell from the 713 00:39:10.800 --> 00:39:12.880 Secret of Nim and Don Bluth is like one of 714 00:39:12.920 --> 00:39:15.000 my heroes of all time, so I had to snap 715 00:39:15.039 --> 00:39:18.960 a photo of that. Some incredible original pieces of art 716 00:39:19.199 --> 00:39:23.159 in this entire thing. This was the one right before 717 00:39:23.199 --> 00:39:26.800 the finalized painting visitor Q for Larry Cohen. So this 718 00:39:26.960 --> 00:39:29.239 is not the painting, but one of the ones that 719 00:39:29.280 --> 00:39:31.360 were almost there. Same with this, I don't believe this 720 00:39:31.440 --> 00:39:33.440 is the final one. He did have quite a few 721 00:39:33.440 --> 00:39:35.320 final ones. I don't know if I included Okay, this 722 00:39:35.440 --> 00:39:38.280 is one, this is one that was final, and then 723 00:39:38.280 --> 00:39:41.679 he also had I didn't include it. Maybe he's got Legend, 724 00:39:41.719 --> 00:39:45.400 he's got the final painting. That is the actual painting 725 00:39:45.480 --> 00:39:48.199 for the poster of Legend. This is stuff that was 726 00:39:48.280 --> 00:39:51.119 used on Fury Road, and a couple other things. Original 727 00:39:51.199 --> 00:39:55.519 storyboards here from the thing which is wild to see. 728 00:39:57.199 --> 00:40:01.559 Here is an original Alex Ross which was mind blowing 729 00:40:01.599 --> 00:40:05.559 to see in person. Just some modern art going around Sydney. 730 00:40:06.519 --> 00:40:09.480 Classic and then just some of the views. We went 731 00:40:09.559 --> 00:40:13.760 to Crawford, one of the biggest stations in all of Australia, 732 00:40:13.840 --> 00:40:15.960 and Danny, who might be in the chat or will 733 00:40:15.960 --> 00:40:19.559 be eventually probably It took us around this way. We 734 00:40:19.639 --> 00:40:21.480 got to see quite a bit of this. Here's us 735 00:40:21.480 --> 00:40:24.639 your server look in the ocean. And then we finally 736 00:40:24.679 --> 00:40:26.800 got to where he gave us a tour of his 737 00:40:27.039 --> 00:40:30.679 entire studio, looked at where they broadcast the news from 738 00:40:30.760 --> 00:40:33.920 they do radio recordings. There's Danny in the picture at 739 00:40:33.960 --> 00:40:37.480 the bottom. Danny was giving us the whole last sixty 740 00:40:37.559 --> 00:40:41.800 years history of broadcasting in Australia, which was just amazing 741 00:40:41.840 --> 00:40:44.960 to see. Here's the front of the studio, the wind network. 742 00:40:45.480 --> 00:40:47.360 And then the next day we went to the National 743 00:40:47.400 --> 00:40:50.880 Film and Sound Archive in Australia. This is in Canberra, 744 00:40:51.280 --> 00:40:54.159 and as much as I wanted to love this, we 745 00:40:54.280 --> 00:40:57.559 drove three hours to Canberra out of Sydney and we 746 00:40:57.599 --> 00:40:59.639 saw everything we needed to see in about less than 747 00:40:59.679 --> 00:41:02.199 twenty five minutes. Not very much there. 748 00:41:03.159 --> 00:41:07.360 When I was in Sydney working on Dark City, Arrow 749 00:41:07.440 --> 00:41:11.119 wanted to include a reproduction of the postcard and I 750 00:41:11.119 --> 00:41:13.480 did a little homework and I swear the original prop 751 00:41:13.519 --> 00:41:18.760 postcard is in that building, and I mentioned it, you know, 752 00:41:18.960 --> 00:41:21.719 I'm in Sydney. I'll take the train, I'll pay for it. 753 00:41:22.000 --> 00:41:24.880 But it would have required too much paperwork. You know, 754 00:41:24.920 --> 00:41:26.800 I couldn't just walk in and get a scan of it. 755 00:41:27.280 --> 00:41:29.360 You know, I even spoke to someone from there. We 756 00:41:29.519 --> 00:41:30.440 emailed back and forth. 757 00:41:30.559 --> 00:41:31.000 Nice guy. 758 00:41:31.079 --> 00:41:33.760 But you know, we would have needed written permission from 759 00:41:33.760 --> 00:41:35.920 Warner Brothers and it would have become a whole thing. 760 00:41:36.079 --> 00:41:38.639 So that's why I had to recreate it from scratch. 761 00:41:39.800 --> 00:41:43.880 It's like the real ones just over there the well. 762 00:41:44.239 --> 00:41:46.239 I tried to go there for some stuff for antenna 763 00:41:46.320 --> 00:41:48.159 and the timing just didn't work out right. Gonna be 764 00:41:48.199 --> 00:41:51.119 working on some stuff with them soon. But they did 765 00:41:51.519 --> 00:41:55.960 get to show us the actual knife from Crocodile Dundee 766 00:41:56.039 --> 00:41:59.039 and yes, that is a knife. We had to go 767 00:41:59.079 --> 00:42:03.360 to some more physical media stores. This is one again 768 00:42:03.480 --> 00:42:07.480 downtown Sydney. Really nice place. This is called hum. It 769 00:42:07.679 --> 00:42:11.039 was pretty nice, a little overpriced, but not too terrible. 770 00:42:11.599 --> 00:42:14.840 While we were walking to HUM, uh, just a random 771 00:42:14.840 --> 00:42:16.960 funny story because I'm a fricking giant if you didn't 772 00:42:17.000 --> 00:42:21.039 notice from the picture so far, Tony was walking us 773 00:42:21.079 --> 00:42:24.159 into a used bookstore and I was wearing my sunglasses 774 00:42:24.159 --> 00:42:26.920 because it was so bright outside. Walk in and I 775 00:42:26.920 --> 00:42:29.760 immediately go to take off my sunglasses because I was blinded. 776 00:42:30.119 --> 00:42:32.400 And as soon as I take them off, I'm one 777 00:42:32.440 --> 00:42:34.159 step in the building that had an exit sign, and 778 00:42:34.159 --> 00:42:36.440 I was so tall I bashed my head on the 779 00:42:36.440 --> 00:42:40.599 exit sign and so hard that the exit sign fell 780 00:42:40.639 --> 00:42:45.800 off of the roof or ceiling. Hilarious, absolutely terrible. My 781 00:42:45.840 --> 00:42:49.599 head started bleeding. That was fun. This is where we 782 00:42:49.840 --> 00:42:52.920 visited Bondai Beach and if you pay attention to world events, 783 00:42:53.480 --> 00:42:55.800 this was the site of a tragedy just a few 784 00:42:55.800 --> 00:42:58.039 months ago, and to be this close to it and 785 00:42:58.079 --> 00:43:04.519 see everything that happened was just absolutely wild. It's humbling 786 00:43:04.599 --> 00:43:07.400 in a way that is sad, especially coming from America, 787 00:43:07.440 --> 00:43:10.679 where it's such a common thing. Could say a lot 788 00:43:10.719 --> 00:43:12.679 about how safe we felt in Australia, but I'll let 789 00:43:12.679 --> 00:43:16.119 it go. Some of our big views of Australia. As 790 00:43:16.119 --> 00:43:20.159 we left Bondai, Tony took us to this beautiful little 791 00:43:20.199 --> 00:43:23.159 alcove where it's just crazy the views that people. This 792 00:43:23.280 --> 00:43:25.920 is like next to somebody's apartment. They just hang out here, 793 00:43:25.960 --> 00:43:28.079 and I was so jealous. You just wake up and 794 00:43:28.119 --> 00:43:31.079 look outside and then I look down and their steers 795 00:43:31.480 --> 00:43:37.519 carved into this cliff. It's just crazy. I love this life. 796 00:43:37.559 --> 00:43:40.159 Going on to some other stuff. Had to get the 797 00:43:40.159 --> 00:43:43.800 classic opera house shot. This is, of course, Luna Park. 798 00:43:43.800 --> 00:43:45.880 You've probably seen photos of this quite a few times 799 00:43:45.880 --> 00:43:49.440 online under the Harbor Bridge. Looking at that, we got 800 00:43:49.440 --> 00:43:52.679 some wonderful gelato. This was incredible. I didn't realize they 801 00:43:52.679 --> 00:43:54.519 put cherries in the bottom of this cone and I 802 00:43:54.559 --> 00:43:56.360 went to take a bite and the whole bottom part 803 00:43:56.480 --> 00:43:58.880 kind of exploded all over my pants and shirt. Thanks Sydney, 804 00:43:58.920 --> 00:44:02.880 that was wonderful. This is the Tyra Banks brand new 805 00:44:02.920 --> 00:44:05.480 ice cream shops she just opened called Smiles and Dream. 806 00:44:05.880 --> 00:44:07.880 Don't know why that's her new dream, but it is. 807 00:44:08.360 --> 00:44:10.519 There's us in front of the Opera House. And then 808 00:44:10.719 --> 00:44:14.000 Tony took us to one last theater called the Hayden Orpheum. 809 00:44:14.280 --> 00:44:17.000 Looks really nice inside. And then we went to the 810 00:44:17.000 --> 00:44:20.119 beach one last time. But finally this was some of 811 00:44:20.119 --> 00:44:25.360 my favorite photos. We got really nice late night view 812 00:44:25.400 --> 00:44:28.519 of the harbor and the Opera House. Then we flew 813 00:44:28.599 --> 00:44:31.199 to New Zealand. Yes we're only like three quarters of 814 00:44:31.199 --> 00:44:33.559 the way done with this trip. Flying into New Zealand 815 00:44:33.639 --> 00:44:38.079 was a gorgeous never seen nature like this Auckland. I 816 00:44:38.079 --> 00:44:41.360 mean you've been there, it's just stupendous to fly into there, right. 817 00:44:41.679 --> 00:44:45.320 Well, I flew in. I flew from Melbourne to Wellington 818 00:44:46.119 --> 00:44:51.320 and that's even better. Landing I was I think cross 819 00:44:51.360 --> 00:44:54.159 winds in the mountains. I was just gripping my seat, 820 00:44:54.280 --> 00:44:57.239 but I did do the wet workshop nice. Well that's 821 00:44:57.239 --> 00:44:58.880 actually where the shirt comes from. 822 00:44:59.239 --> 00:45:05.840 Very nice, and then from Wellington to Auckland, which was lovely. 823 00:45:05.880 --> 00:45:07.840 Did you make it to There's a New York style 824 00:45:07.880 --> 00:45:10.719 pizza pizza chain there called sALS. You didn't make it 825 00:45:10.719 --> 00:45:14.000 there at all, did you? We did, But when I 826 00:45:14.039 --> 00:45:15.960 saw that, I made like a B line for it, 827 00:45:16.000 --> 00:45:19.280 and it's like they got it right. Not everyone does. 828 00:45:20.280 --> 00:45:22.280 Well, if they got it right, I will say I've 829 00:45:22.320 --> 00:45:24.360 I've never been to New York, even though I've now 830 00:45:24.400 --> 00:45:26.519 been to Auckland. If they got it right, man, I'm 831 00:45:26.519 --> 00:45:28.480 not gonna like New York pizza because I did not 832 00:45:28.639 --> 00:45:29.800 like so well. 833 00:45:29.840 --> 00:45:32.960 When I was in London. There's no offense to it 834 00:45:33.000 --> 00:45:35.719 because it was a cool place. There's a there's a 835 00:45:35.800 --> 00:45:40.280 Quentin Tarantino themed pizza restaurant in London called True Romance, 836 00:45:41.119 --> 00:45:42.639 which they have a lot of cool stuff from his 837 00:45:42.719 --> 00:45:45.320 movies there. But it's like Tarantino, A he's not from 838 00:45:45.360 --> 00:45:47.920 New York and B he's not really associated with pizza. 839 00:45:48.400 --> 00:45:50.800 And it builds itself as New York style pizza and 840 00:45:50.840 --> 00:45:56.320 I went there tried it and not nope, not even close. Sorry, 841 00:45:56.599 --> 00:45:59.159 But when I saw this place in Australia, New Zealand, 842 00:45:59.159 --> 00:46:00.280 I had to try it and then I went to 843 00:46:00.320 --> 00:46:03.880 a New York style. I went to a deli and 844 00:46:04.000 --> 00:46:06.239 had like a p Astromi sandwich because I'm always on 845 00:46:06.280 --> 00:46:09.079 the hunt for a good one of those, and it. 846 00:46:09.079 --> 00:46:14.239 Was good, but so salty I couldn't finish. Too salty, understandable. 847 00:46:14.840 --> 00:46:17.360 So yeah, that's flying into Auckland. This is right before 848 00:46:17.360 --> 00:46:19.760 we landed. This is how they welcome you in at 849 00:46:19.800 --> 00:46:24.320 the Auckland airport. And then the day after this, I 850 00:46:24.360 --> 00:46:27.360 spent on a film set signed an NBA. So I 851 00:46:27.360 --> 00:46:29.039 can't say much about it, but if you know much 852 00:46:29.039 --> 00:46:31.280 about what I'm doing with my company and who else 853 00:46:31.360 --> 00:46:34.119 owns it, you should be able to guess what film 854 00:46:34.159 --> 00:46:36.119 set I was on. That's as much as I can say. 855 00:46:37.119 --> 00:46:40.159 More stories about that when I can next summer, I believe. 856 00:46:40.920 --> 00:46:45.400 But this is right before we went in to Hobbiton. 857 00:46:45.920 --> 00:46:47.760 If you're in New Zealand, you pretty much have to 858 00:46:47.760 --> 00:46:50.719 do it. So the wife and I went to the Shire, 859 00:46:51.239 --> 00:46:53.920 and I did not want to show all of the 860 00:46:53.960 --> 00:46:56.440 photos because there's so many that look very similar. But 861 00:46:56.880 --> 00:47:00.360 this place was magical. After spending the last five or 862 00:47:00.360 --> 00:47:03.119 six weeks showing both of our kids, all three of 863 00:47:03.159 --> 00:47:05.800 the Lord of the Rings films. This was wild to 864 00:47:05.840 --> 00:47:10.360 see in person, completely completely loved all of the attention 865 00:47:10.440 --> 00:47:13.480 to detail. It is kind of crazy how much they 866 00:47:13.599 --> 00:47:17.119 paid attention to everything, the sheer size of everything. This 867 00:47:17.400 --> 00:47:19.920 was a very fun photo. My wife making fun of 868 00:47:19.920 --> 00:47:23.920 me because I'm a giant. It was not oops, it 869 00:47:24.000 --> 00:47:26.599 was not that small. You should be able to be 870 00:47:26.639 --> 00:47:30.079 seen if you're normal size, but I am not. Just 871 00:47:31.079 --> 00:47:35.079 gorgeous landscape. It is so crazy how green and lush 872 00:47:35.199 --> 00:47:38.199 everything is. Absolutely loved it. We got to go into 873 00:47:38.199 --> 00:47:43.880 one of the Hobbit houses, just a great time. Loved 874 00:47:43.880 --> 00:47:46.559 it there, and then afterwards we had a tour through 875 00:47:46.599 --> 00:47:50.320 the Waitomo gl glowworm caves. For those that have not 876 00:47:50.360 --> 00:47:53.960 heard of it. These are dark, deep caves in the 877 00:47:54.000 --> 00:47:58.320 side of a mountain basically that glowworms. They hang down 878 00:47:58.360 --> 00:48:01.800 these little tails to attract insects, kind of like spiderwebs, 879 00:48:02.159 --> 00:48:04.400 and they glow to attract them. And you go in 880 00:48:04.519 --> 00:48:06.000 and all the lights are off and you can see 881 00:48:06.039 --> 00:48:08.880 what looks like little fiber optic lights and they're just worms. 882 00:48:09.719 --> 00:48:12.679 Couldn't take any photos of that inside, but you come 883 00:48:12.719 --> 00:48:14.800 out on a little boat ride at the end of it. 884 00:48:14.800 --> 00:48:18.039 It is a really fun time. Just beautiful to see, 885 00:48:19.400 --> 00:48:22.280 had a great time. That's pretty much everything that made 886 00:48:22.320 --> 00:48:25.719 sense to show pictures of. Loved it though. That was 887 00:48:25.760 --> 00:48:28.280 my first time ever out of the country. I cannot 888 00:48:28.320 --> 00:48:31.400 wait to do something like that again. I am very poor, 889 00:48:31.480 --> 00:48:33.639 so it will not be able to happen, probably for 890 00:48:33.679 --> 00:48:34.400 a long time. 891 00:48:37.719 --> 00:48:40.840 Yeah, well, hopefully you make it to you know, make 892 00:48:40.840 --> 00:48:42.760 it to London at some point. There's certainly enough there 893 00:48:42.800 --> 00:48:46.719 to keep you busy. And every time I either every 894 00:48:46.719 --> 00:48:49.280 time with me and the UK, I've either just missed 895 00:48:49.320 --> 00:48:52.199 something or I leave and I'm about to miss something. 896 00:48:52.239 --> 00:48:57.320 The week before, literally the week before I left London 897 00:48:57.360 --> 00:49:00.559 this last time. Yeah, well, the Sciences seems doing a 898 00:49:00.599 --> 00:49:04.159 Star Trek exhibit for the anniversary and they're showing the 899 00:49:04.239 --> 00:49:08.159 ten films. It's like, yeah, literally starting the two days 900 00:49:08.159 --> 00:49:11.320 after I left. Oh, the first time I was there, 901 00:49:11.360 --> 00:49:13.199 I left and then they were doing the Powell and 902 00:49:13.239 --> 00:49:17.159 Presburg are big retrospective there, so I just missed that too, 903 00:49:17.440 --> 00:49:18.760 So I got to time this better. 904 00:49:20.400 --> 00:49:22.039 I think it's the BFI. They're about to do a 905 00:49:22.039 --> 00:49:25.599 big Germmel del Toro retrospective showing I think everything he's 906 00:49:25.639 --> 00:49:27.480 done and that that would be a blast to see. 907 00:49:27.519 --> 00:49:30.320 I don't think I've only seen maybe one or two 908 00:49:30.320 --> 00:49:32.000 on the big screen ever, so see all of them 909 00:49:32.039 --> 00:49:36.800 would be crazy. I would love that, all right. So 910 00:49:37.239 --> 00:49:40.719 tonight after announcements, we were talking about audio commentaries. Last 911 00:49:40.719 --> 00:49:42.079 thing I wanted to bring up before we go into 912 00:49:42.079 --> 00:49:46.440 the announcements writing. You have your first bit of writing 913 00:49:46.440 --> 00:49:48.719 about to come out in one of these releases, tell 914 00:49:48.800 --> 00:49:49.320 us about it. 915 00:49:49.440 --> 00:49:51.920 I mean, I don't consider myself a writer, but when 916 00:49:52.280 --> 00:49:55.039 I was working so I found out Arrow got Innerspace, 917 00:49:55.840 --> 00:49:58.320 and I told them I want in I want to 918 00:49:58.320 --> 00:50:00.360 do that one and one other title they have that 919 00:50:00.440 --> 00:50:04.840 I requested to work on, which hopefully I do. I said, 920 00:50:04.880 --> 00:50:07.599 it's my favorite Jodante film. It's one of my favorite 921 00:50:07.639 --> 00:50:12.599 Ambulance films. And I believe Doug John Miller did the 922 00:50:12.639 --> 00:50:16.760 new artwork I just wanted. Yep, Doug John Miller did 923 00:50:16.800 --> 00:50:18.559 the new art which is on the wrap and the 924 00:50:18.599 --> 00:50:21.360 booklet cover in the disc. I took care of the 925 00:50:21.360 --> 00:50:24.199 rest and I'm doing the booklet. I have three pages 926 00:50:24.280 --> 00:50:28.119 left over, and it's like, you know, I'm a fan. 927 00:50:28.360 --> 00:50:30.559 I know this movie top to bottom. I've seen all 928 00:50:30.599 --> 00:50:34.880 of Dante's stuff, so I just speculatively. Over a weekend, 929 00:50:35.000 --> 00:50:38.679 wrote did a little write up on his stock company. 930 00:50:39.599 --> 00:50:42.159 So you know, it's no deep insight. It's just a 931 00:50:42.199 --> 00:50:45.360 series of nerdy lists. But I mean, I could have 932 00:50:45.400 --> 00:50:47.760 done three pages just on Dick Miller, but I literally 933 00:50:47.760 --> 00:50:51.840 only have the three pages. You know, So Dick Miller, 934 00:50:51.920 --> 00:50:55.519 Robert Riccardo, you know, Kevin McCarthy, William Shaler, et cetera. 935 00:50:57.199 --> 00:51:00.000 You know, I found some cool quotes on the inner 936 00:51:00.039 --> 00:51:02.440 at archive. There's a book on the making of Invasion 937 00:51:02.440 --> 00:51:04.679 of the Body Snatchers that I think Kevin McCarthy even 938 00:51:05.199 --> 00:51:10.000 co wrote. It's mainly the original, but touches on the 939 00:51:10.000 --> 00:51:14.840 Philip Kaufman version two. I found some tweets from old archive, 940 00:51:14.880 --> 00:51:16.840 tweets from Joe Dante, you know, when some of these 941 00:51:16.880 --> 00:51:22.159 actors had passed away, and he pay tribute. Piccardo did 942 00:51:22.199 --> 00:51:24.800 an interview with the A. B Club, so I found 943 00:51:24.800 --> 00:51:27.320 a couple quotes from there. Not as much on some 944 00:51:27.360 --> 00:51:31.079 of the others, like Wendy Shawl or Archie Hahn, although 945 00:51:31.079 --> 00:51:33.599 I did mention his. I had mentioned his role in 946 00:51:33.679 --> 00:51:37.760 meat Balls two just because but no, I had fun 947 00:51:37.760 --> 00:51:40.400 with it. I took the screenshots and when I emailed 948 00:51:40.400 --> 00:51:42.480 them a pass of the booklet. I said, oh, by 949 00:51:42.519 --> 00:51:45.440 the way, check this out. If you like it, great, 950 00:51:45.480 --> 00:51:47.440 If not, no big deal, and they came back, you 951 00:51:47.480 --> 00:51:50.199 know sure, yeah, we'll use it. So then I had 952 00:51:50.239 --> 00:51:52.440 to change the blurb on the back so my name 953 00:51:52.480 --> 00:51:56.840 would be in it. But I even got you know, 954 00:51:57.119 --> 00:51:59.960 the Joe Dante's TV stuff, which I hope I got 955 00:52:00.199 --> 00:52:02.719 it all right, like you know who you know, people 956 00:52:02.719 --> 00:52:06.679 who were in Irie, Indiana or the episode Dick Miller 957 00:52:06.719 --> 00:52:08.760 was in one of the two episodes of Police Squad 958 00:52:08.800 --> 00:52:09.840 that Dante directed. 959 00:52:10.599 --> 00:52:12.280 He directed one third of that show. 960 00:52:14.079 --> 00:52:16.599 And you know, I'm a big Star Trek fan, so 961 00:52:16.679 --> 00:52:18.239 I had to get in a Trek reference in there, 962 00:52:18.239 --> 00:52:22.519 since Wendy shall Gets started a Voyager episode and had 963 00:52:22.519 --> 00:52:26.559 scenes with the Cardo. So yeah, hopefully there's I know 964 00:52:26.559 --> 00:52:28.639 there's one other movie that I'm I would love to 965 00:52:28.679 --> 00:52:29.760 do something like this with. 966 00:52:29.960 --> 00:52:30.679 I won't mention it. 967 00:52:30.719 --> 00:52:32.840 I don't know if Arrow has it or not, but 968 00:52:33.599 --> 00:52:36.000 an eighties action movie with a big cast of. 969 00:52:37.559 --> 00:52:39.800 You know, hey, it's that guy names. 970 00:52:40.000 --> 00:52:41.519 So I don't know if Arrow has it or not, 971 00:52:41.599 --> 00:52:43.360 but if they do, and if I get to work 972 00:52:43.400 --> 00:52:45.440 on it, I would love to do something like this again. 973 00:52:46.719 --> 00:52:49.840 Well, I adore Interspace. When we first talked about the 974 00:52:49.840 --> 00:52:52.199 announcement here, I gushed on it for a handful of minutes. 975 00:52:52.480 --> 00:52:55.599 For those that have never seen it, pitched them the 976 00:52:55.599 --> 00:52:57.239 film Interspace, why should they buy it? 977 00:52:59.000 --> 00:53:00.840 I mean, I could pitch it the way Joe Dante 978 00:53:00.840 --> 00:53:05.199 describes it, which is, it's fantastic. It's fantastic voyage crossed 979 00:53:05.199 --> 00:53:09.599 with a Martin and Lewis comedy. But it's a Martin 980 00:53:09.719 --> 00:53:13.440 Martin short. Or Dennis Quid's a test pilot. He gets miniaturized. 981 00:53:13.519 --> 00:53:17.079 He's part of this experiment miniaturization. He gets miniaturized and 982 00:53:17.159 --> 00:53:18.519 injected into Martin short. 983 00:53:19.239 --> 00:53:19.920 Uh. 984 00:53:20.079 --> 00:53:23.679 And they have to you know, beat the bad guys 985 00:53:23.719 --> 00:53:26.320 and you know, re enlarged Dennis Quaid before he runs 986 00:53:26.360 --> 00:53:26.960 out of air. 987 00:53:27.360 --> 00:53:28.559 Meg Ryan's the love interest. 988 00:53:29.400 --> 00:53:29.800 Uh. 989 00:53:29.920 --> 00:53:32.320 You know you got the usual Joe Dante stock players 990 00:53:32.360 --> 00:53:32.840 in it. 991 00:53:33.159 --> 00:53:36.880 Oscar winning visual effects by Industrial Light and Magic, gorgeous, 992 00:53:37.119 --> 00:53:41.280 a fun score by Jerry Goldsmith and Robert Riccardo. At 993 00:53:41.320 --> 00:53:45.000 the Orlando Mega Con, he autographed my DVD. Years later 994 00:53:45.039 --> 00:53:49.400 at Monster Palooza in Pasadena, he autographed my Blue Rays 995 00:53:49.440 --> 00:53:51.039 and now I got to meet him one more time 996 00:53:51.079 --> 00:53:52.760 so we could autograph the four K and this time 997 00:53:52.800 --> 00:53:57.719 I can actually I worked on it. But yeah, it 998 00:53:57.800 --> 00:53:59.159 was just one of those you know. It was also 999 00:53:59.199 --> 00:54:02.079 one of those movies that was always on TV. Yeah, 1000 00:54:02.079 --> 00:54:04.360 and you know, it was the last generation to kind 1001 00:54:04.360 --> 00:54:07.239 of grow up late eighties, early nineties. If a cool 1002 00:54:07.280 --> 00:54:09.119 movie was on TV, you watched it because it was 1003 00:54:09.159 --> 00:54:11.960 on and there was nothing else to do. But no 1004 00:54:12.039 --> 00:54:15.679 big fan and I had fun working on it, you know, 1005 00:54:15.719 --> 00:54:18.960 a couple of cool you know. There's one poster that 1006 00:54:19.000 --> 00:54:20.760 I used for the back of the booklet cover that 1007 00:54:20.760 --> 00:54:22.760 I'd never actually seen before. I think it was for 1008 00:54:22.840 --> 00:54:27.199 the home video release, you know, again and trying to 1009 00:54:27.800 --> 00:54:31.280 you know, with fonts and you know, you know again 1010 00:54:31.360 --> 00:54:33.559 trying to make everything of a piece, and you know, 1011 00:54:33.639 --> 00:54:36.440 with the booklets, readability is the most important thing. 1012 00:54:36.599 --> 00:54:39.679 Plus Arrow has their own sort of house style, but you. 1013 00:54:39.559 --> 00:54:42.360 Know, throwing in some cool tech little patterns and things 1014 00:54:42.400 --> 00:54:44.440 like that, just to just to have fun with it 1015 00:54:44.480 --> 00:54:46.639 and give it some visual interest. 1016 00:54:47.920 --> 00:54:51.840 Of course, I'm always happy to see that, especially in 1017 00:54:51.880 --> 00:54:55.239 your stuff. Yeah, Interspace, check it out if you've never 1018 00:54:55.280 --> 00:54:58.400 seen it. It is fantastic. It's one of those that 1019 00:54:59.400 --> 00:55:01.480 I think it was. Adam in the chat said it's 1020 00:55:01.559 --> 00:55:04.440 kind of like Peter Jackson's Frighteners, and that it's it's 1021 00:55:04.480 --> 00:55:06.840 like one of their best, but overlooked in a way 1022 00:55:07.199 --> 00:55:10.559 that shouldn't be. In Jackson's uber that not the film 1023 00:55:10.639 --> 00:55:14.480 is not like the Frighteners, but in their ubra it 1024 00:55:14.599 --> 00:55:18.159 is similarly overlooked, which it shouldn't be. Innerspace is fantastic, 1025 00:55:18.199 --> 00:55:22.360 although it's difficult when you're Dante because he's got like, oops, 1026 00:55:22.360 --> 00:55:26.960 all bangers in his resume, and when when you're comparing 1027 00:55:27.000 --> 00:55:31.119 to the Burbs and Gremlins and Mattinee and everything else, 1028 00:55:31.159 --> 00:55:33.559 it's very easy to say, oh, yeah, we watched all 1029 00:55:33.599 --> 00:55:35.519 those in this other one that we just forget about 1030 00:55:35.519 --> 00:55:37.519 that one but deserves a shot. 1031 00:55:38.039 --> 00:55:41.239 Also, I think if you ask Dante he'd say, also 1032 00:55:41.400 --> 00:55:45.800 a you know, genre hybrids are hard sci fi, yeah, 1033 00:55:45.960 --> 00:55:50.280 or sci fi action comedy even And it's two hours, 1034 00:55:50.360 --> 00:55:52.320 and I'm sure the studio would have preferred it maybe 1035 00:55:52.360 --> 00:55:54.440 fifteen minutes less to get one more screening in. 1036 00:55:54.559 --> 00:55:57.079 But yeah, I mean, I can't think of anything you 1037 00:55:57.079 --> 00:55:58.679 could cut. 1038 00:55:59.519 --> 00:56:02.800 No, it's worth the entire watch. It is great, super 1039 00:56:02.800 --> 00:56:06.559 well done. I understand where Terry's coming from in the 1040 00:56:06.599 --> 00:56:10.199 chat talking about Martin Short overacting. But just like Adam said, 1041 00:56:10.960 --> 00:56:12.760 or just like Spooky said, that is kind of why 1042 00:56:12.760 --> 00:56:15.519 you watch Martin Short. That's that's what he always does. 1043 00:56:15.639 --> 00:56:17.280 So either way, he. 1044 00:56:17.960 --> 00:56:20.599 Hadn't done I think he had done Three Amigos, and 1045 00:56:20.800 --> 00:56:23.840 I don't think he'd really done much many movies actually 1046 00:56:23.880 --> 00:56:25.920 before not much. 1047 00:56:26.000 --> 00:56:29.000 No, that's true. God, yeah, I need to go look 1048 00:56:29.039 --> 00:56:31.199 at his resume around that time. I'd love to learn 1049 00:56:31.199 --> 00:56:34.639 more about that. All right, we're ready for announcements. Anything 1050 00:56:34.639 --> 00:56:36.639 else that you want to hype up before we go 1051 00:56:36.719 --> 00:56:38.960 into this, anything other than Interspace coming out the next 1052 00:56:39.000 --> 00:56:40.199 month or two. That's already been. 1053 00:56:40.400 --> 00:56:43.440 Working on a few titles for Arrow right now, and 1054 00:56:44.719 --> 00:56:46.280 you know, a couple for you know, a few for 1055 00:56:46.320 --> 00:56:50.800 fun City in various stages. But yeah, nothing else I 1056 00:56:50.800 --> 00:56:53.320 can really talk about right now. But there will be more. 1057 00:56:54.760 --> 00:56:56.960 There will be more. And speaking of more, let's talk 1058 00:56:57.000 --> 00:57:01.159 about some animation as it comes through Warner Arc. So 1059 00:57:01.280 --> 00:57:06.880 these are all a big batch of more archive titles 1060 00:57:06.880 --> 00:57:10.440 that came out late last week. I do want. I 1061 00:57:10.480 --> 00:57:11.519 know a lot of people are gonna be like, you 1062 00:57:11.559 --> 00:57:13.039 don't need to apologize for this you were out of 1063 00:57:13.079 --> 00:57:16.159 the country. I do want to apologize I was very 1064 00:57:16.199 --> 00:57:18.559 late on many of these announcements. It was such a 1065 00:57:18.599 --> 00:57:23.039 weird week. I literally right before the show just got 1066 00:57:23.039 --> 00:57:24.559 caught up with what I had been waiting to be 1067 00:57:24.559 --> 00:57:26.480 able to post. Over the last two weeks, every single 1068 00:57:26.519 --> 00:57:29.599 day has been wild. You were talking about going over 1069 00:57:29.639 --> 00:57:32.519 the international date line. I woke up early on Monday 1070 00:57:32.519 --> 00:57:35.920 morning to fly out of Auckland, left on Monday afternoon 1071 00:57:36.039 --> 00:57:39.239 out of Auckland, flew twelve hours to LA and when 1072 00:57:39.280 --> 00:57:42.559 we landed in LA it was again Monday morning. And 1073 00:57:42.599 --> 00:57:45.039 that sort of thing is so jarring in a weird 1074 00:57:45.079 --> 00:57:47.599 way that you are just not prepared for. When we 1075 00:57:47.639 --> 00:57:50.719 finally landed in Kansas City, it was technically only an 1076 00:57:50.800 --> 00:57:53.320 hour on the clock after when we left Auckland, which, 1077 00:57:53.960 --> 00:57:56.960 holy hell, what a weird life that is in that day. 1078 00:57:58.719 --> 00:58:00.440 All right, So we got maynight. If we get a 1079 00:58:00.440 --> 00:58:03.119 Blu Ray coming of Looney Tunes cartoons, this is the 1080 00:58:03.280 --> 00:58:06.119 HBO Max series coming to Blu Ray. Now, this one's 1081 00:58:06.159 --> 00:58:09.039 interesting because it had been discussed on this show last 1082 00:58:09.039 --> 00:58:11.360 week or the week before. Is coming on DVD only, 1083 00:58:11.880 --> 00:58:14.960 and it seems like the outcry of everybody wanting this 1084 00:58:15.079 --> 00:58:17.840 got them to say, hold up, let's get the Archive 1085 00:58:17.880 --> 00:58:19.599 to put this out on Blu Ray, which is always 1086 00:58:19.639 --> 00:58:22.760 a win. This is going to be a six disc 1087 00:58:22.840 --> 00:58:26.360 Blu Ray collection. They're going to have the sports shorts 1088 00:58:26.360 --> 00:58:28.840 with it as well. You can check this out. Total 1089 00:58:28.920 --> 00:58:31.320 runtime on this just over a thousand minutes, which is 1090 00:58:31.920 --> 00:58:34.119 very worth it to me. I'm a big animation header 1091 00:58:34.159 --> 00:58:35.239 und the animation Scott. 1092 00:58:36.559 --> 00:58:38.079 I've always been a Looney Tunes fan. 1093 00:58:39.079 --> 00:58:41.039 I haven't watched this, but I have been buying the 1094 00:58:41.280 --> 00:58:46.119 collections and I've kind of lost count between you know. 1095 00:58:46.639 --> 00:58:48.559 You know, I have the Golden Collections from DVD than 1096 00:58:48.599 --> 00:58:50.760 with Blu Ray. They did a few Latinum collections, and 1097 00:58:50.760 --> 00:58:55.119 they've done some DVD compilations over the years. But you know, 1098 00:58:55.159 --> 00:58:57.920 some of the cartoons are new and some are old, 1099 00:58:58.000 --> 00:59:00.400 and some have been remastered and some haven't. But you know, 1100 00:59:00.440 --> 00:59:04.039 whatever the Archives releasing Looney Tunes wise, I'm more than 1101 00:59:04.159 --> 00:59:06.320 likely going to pick up same. 1102 00:59:06.679 --> 00:59:10.960 I will get this absolutely. Next up is seven Faces 1103 00:59:11.000 --> 00:59:13.320 of Doctor Laud from nineteen sixty four. This is coming 1104 00:59:13.360 --> 00:59:16.480 on May twenty sixth. This is a Tony Randall film. 1105 00:59:16.519 --> 00:59:18.519 This will have a vintage featurette on here called King 1106 00:59:18.519 --> 00:59:20.920 of the Duplicators, and then Tom and Jerry cartoon the 1107 00:59:20.960 --> 00:59:23.639 Cat above and the Mouse below and the original trailer. 1108 00:59:24.400 --> 00:59:26.199 Are you the classics like this? 1109 00:59:28.000 --> 00:59:29.519 I've not seen this one. 1110 00:59:29.920 --> 00:59:33.400 I know, I'm certainly aware, but actually most of the 1111 00:59:33.440 --> 00:59:35.880 rest of the archive titles I think you're going to announce, 1112 00:59:36.400 --> 00:59:41.360 I have not seen, unfortunately, but I'm always open, you know, 1113 00:59:41.440 --> 00:59:44.719 so I'll yeah, you know, they'll get on my radar 1114 00:59:44.760 --> 00:59:45.280 at some point. 1115 00:59:47.039 --> 00:59:50.519 We've got a question from Explosive Action, what's going on 1116 00:59:50.599 --> 00:59:52.320 losing track? What's different to this compared to the last 1117 00:59:52.320 --> 00:59:54.800 couple of Warner Archive Looney Tunes Bugs Bunny, This is 1118 00:59:55.000 --> 00:59:57.239 entirely different the one we just talked about. This is 1119 00:59:57.280 --> 01:00:01.719 the HBO Max series that's very contemporary. It was being 1120 01:00:03.000 --> 01:00:05.119 it was coming out between twenty twenty to twenty twenty four. 1121 01:00:05.159 --> 01:00:07.480 It is not classic Looney Tunes, but it is done 1122 01:00:07.519 --> 01:00:09.880 in the classic Looney Tunes style. I've never seen them, 1123 01:00:09.880 --> 01:00:12.599 but I hear they're actually like shockingly faithful to the 1124 01:00:12.639 --> 01:00:15.679 original style and the comedy and everything. So I need 1125 01:00:15.719 --> 01:00:19.320 it for sure. Next up, one that I've heard about 1126 01:00:19.320 --> 01:00:20.920 for a long time, never got a chance to see 1127 01:00:20.920 --> 01:00:23.760 This has follow Me Quietly from nineteen forty nine, also 1128 01:00:23.760 --> 01:00:26.559 coming on May twenty six from more Archive. This says, 1129 01:00:26.880 --> 01:00:29.760 this is the film that, above all increased my knowledge 1130 01:00:29.800 --> 01:00:31.920 of the trade. I learned how to organize a film. 1131 01:00:31.960 --> 01:00:35.119 Director Richard Fleischer said about follow Me Quietly, the filmmaker 1132 01:00:35.199 --> 01:00:38.039 learned well. His subsequent career included the film Noir Gem, 1133 01:00:38.079 --> 01:00:40.760 The Narrow Margin, the family favorite Twenty Thousand Leagues Under 1134 01:00:40.760 --> 01:00:44.119 the Sea, and the sci fi milestone Soilent Green. William 1135 01:00:44.159 --> 01:00:46.159 Lund again stars as a cop on the trail of 1136 01:00:46.199 --> 01:00:49.559 an elusive serial killer who strikes when darkness and rainfall. 1137 01:00:50.000 --> 01:00:52.559 Anthony Man shares credit for the story, a take similar 1138 01:00:52.559 --> 01:00:55.360 to his work uncredited on the previous years he walked 1139 01:00:55.360 --> 01:00:58.519 by Night. This will have Crime does not pay shorts 1140 01:00:58.519 --> 01:01:01.679 on this called Dark Shadows and the last installment plus 1141 01:01:01.800 --> 01:01:05.800 the trailer feels a little noir ish? Are you into 1142 01:01:05.840 --> 01:01:06.400 film noir? 1143 01:01:07.239 --> 01:01:11.519 I do? I am. I don't know why I said 1144 01:01:11.559 --> 01:01:15.360 I do. I am, But I have that weird problem 1145 01:01:15.400 --> 01:01:18.599 where you know, and obviously some are better than others, 1146 01:01:18.639 --> 01:01:20.320 but you know, some of these movies the plots are 1147 01:01:20.360 --> 01:01:23.599 so labyrinth you know, you blank and all of a 1148 01:01:23.639 --> 01:01:25.519 sudden it's wait, where are we again? 1149 01:01:25.599 --> 01:01:26.519 And who's that guy? 1150 01:01:27.199 --> 01:01:27.440 I love? 1151 01:01:27.440 --> 01:01:30.360 There's trappings of it, you know, just the you know, 1152 01:01:30.559 --> 01:01:33.039 the sort of archetype characters and the femme fatale and 1153 01:01:33.679 --> 01:01:37.360 you know, the lighting and just that post war gloom 1154 01:01:37.360 --> 01:01:38.280 and doom feeling. 1155 01:01:38.960 --> 01:01:40.800 Yeah, you know, this is definitely something I would watch 1156 01:01:41.559 --> 01:01:42.639 at some point. 1157 01:01:43.320 --> 01:01:45.559 Yeah, this sounds great. I definitely need to see this one. 1158 01:01:46.360 --> 01:01:49.000 Next up one that a lot of the people I 1159 01:01:49.039 --> 01:01:51.519 know and trust on film seem to be very excited, 1160 01:01:51.559 --> 01:01:54.519 So I am keen for this one. Nineteen sixty Nine's 1161 01:01:54.639 --> 01:01:58.000 the Five Man Army. This says where the army leads. 1162 01:01:58.000 --> 01:02:01.480 Action fans, especially spaghetti western fans, will want to follow. 1163 01:02:01.840 --> 01:02:03.719 This has a brand new four case scan of the 1164 01:02:03.760 --> 01:02:07.360 original camera negative. We've got no other extras on this, 1165 01:02:07.480 --> 01:02:10.559 but the cast. The cast on this, Bud Spencer, Peter Graves, 1166 01:02:10.639 --> 01:02:14.719 James Daily, Tetsuro Tamba, directed by Don Taylor. Are you 1167 01:02:14.760 --> 01:02:16.440 into spaghetti westerns at all? 1168 01:02:17.119 --> 01:02:20.480 Also a big gap in my hell of a lineup 1169 01:02:20.480 --> 01:02:22.760 here for me, but no, also more of a gap 1170 01:02:22.760 --> 01:02:29.239 in my you know, movie going thank you, unfortunately, But 1171 01:02:29.320 --> 01:02:34.400 again I'm always open, and I think Don Taylor, Yeah 1172 01:02:34.440 --> 01:02:38.079 he did. I think he did the second Omen film. 1173 01:02:38.159 --> 01:02:40.840 He directed that, and I think he directed so one 1174 01:02:40.880 --> 01:02:44.159 of the Planet of the Ape sequels. I just don't 1175 01:02:44.199 --> 01:02:44.920 remember which one. 1176 01:02:45.599 --> 01:02:48.599 Yeah, that sounds right. Yeah, definitely want to check this 1177 01:02:48.679 --> 01:02:50.760 one out. I have been watching more and more spaghetti 1178 01:02:50.760 --> 01:02:53.719 Western of the last few years, and yeah, sounds sounds 1179 01:02:53.760 --> 01:02:54.840 really interesting. 1180 01:02:54.679 --> 01:02:57.599 As a graphic designer. As a graphic designer, I do 1181 01:02:57.679 --> 01:03:01.280 appreciate their continued commitment to using the artwork. 1182 01:03:01.360 --> 01:03:05.719 The same, same, same, even on something like this, which 1183 01:03:05.800 --> 01:03:09.079 is Monogram Mattine Volume three coming out that same day, 1184 01:03:09.119 --> 01:03:11.800 May twenty sixth, and they've got two films here, both 1185 01:03:11.840 --> 01:03:15.679 of them with the original posters shuffled onto this cover, 1186 01:03:15.719 --> 01:03:17.639 which is really nice to keep them. So we've got 1187 01:03:17.719 --> 01:03:22.280 Under Arizona Skies and Range Justice from nineteen forty six 1188 01:03:22.280 --> 01:03:25.079 and nineteen forty nine, respectively. These are brand new four 1189 01:03:25.159 --> 01:03:27.719 K scans of the best preservation elements on both of these. 1190 01:03:28.800 --> 01:03:31.599 Both of these are an hour or just under an 1191 01:03:31.599 --> 01:03:34.280 hour runtime, so that's why they're both on the same disc. 1192 01:03:34.880 --> 01:03:37.360 No extras on these, but it's a double feature. I'm 1193 01:03:37.360 --> 01:03:39.039 not much of a Western, guys. This is something that 1194 01:03:39.079 --> 01:03:40.480 you would be immediate to. 1195 01:03:40.440 --> 01:03:41.639 Pick up same. 1196 01:03:41.840 --> 01:03:44.480 But you know what I'm so, I mean, I'm glad 1197 01:03:44.480 --> 01:03:48.800 when anything is released like this. I'm happy that they're 1198 01:03:48.840 --> 01:03:52.079 doing these, you know that they're clearly committing to, you know, 1199 01:03:52.239 --> 01:03:55.239 volume three. Maybe we'll get volume four hopefully at some 1200 01:03:55.320 --> 01:03:55.960 point too. 1201 01:03:56.639 --> 01:04:00.519 If the sells more than fourteen copies maybe yeah. Next up, 1202 01:04:00.639 --> 01:04:03.960 another big one, May twenty sixth. It's a Wise Child 1203 01:04:04.000 --> 01:04:07.679 from nineteen thirty one with Mary and Davies this one, 1204 01:04:07.719 --> 01:04:10.280 and Marian delivers one of her finest comedic performances in 1205 01:04:10.280 --> 01:04:13.760 this smart early talkie farce that delights in mistaken impressions 1206 01:04:13.800 --> 01:04:18.039 and social pretenses. When Joyce Stanton becomes the unsuspecting subject 1207 01:04:18.079 --> 01:04:21.599 of scandal after being wrongfully assumed pregnant, she finds the 1208 01:04:21.639 --> 01:04:25.480 gossip oddly useful, particularly as it helps her sidestep an 1209 01:04:25.519 --> 01:04:31.039 unwonted marriage to a wealthy suitor. I absolutely need this one. 1210 01:04:31.679 --> 01:04:35.880 Pre Code films are always at least interesting and quite 1211 01:04:35.880 --> 01:04:39.840 often fantastic. This will have classic cartoons on here Bosco's 1212 01:04:39.840 --> 01:04:43.280 Fox Hunt and Bosco's Soda Fountain, and then two NGM shorts, 1213 01:04:43.320 --> 01:04:47.719 Crazy House and the Rounder. Any thoughts on pre Code films. 1214 01:04:48.119 --> 01:04:50.440 I did watch? I don't have a ton of experience 1215 01:04:50.519 --> 01:04:54.079 with them. But I'm a big I like Barbara Stanwick, 1216 01:04:54.159 --> 01:04:55.880 and I know she did a bunch of pre code 1217 01:04:55.920 --> 01:04:59.360 films and maybe it was the Criterion Channel or I 1218 01:04:59.360 --> 01:05:00.960 don't know where I I have seen him at this point, 1219 01:05:00.960 --> 01:05:04.239 but you know, I watched a bunch of hers, you know, 1220 01:05:04.280 --> 01:05:08.000 from then, and you know, on one, you know, certainly 1221 01:05:08.039 --> 01:05:10.199 tame compared to you know now, but at the same 1222 01:05:10.199 --> 01:05:11.559 time you can kind of see where it might have 1223 01:05:11.639 --> 01:05:16.039 bothered some people that there's one where she literally no 1224 01:05:16.079 --> 01:05:20.119 I'm Philly blanking on the name. One where you know, 1225 01:05:20.159 --> 01:05:22.360 she gets a job at a company and she literally, 1226 01:05:22.440 --> 01:05:24.000 like you know, sleeps her. You know, the whole movie 1227 01:05:24.039 --> 01:05:27.239 is about her sleeping away to the top, which you 1228 01:05:27.440 --> 01:05:29.360 couldn't do, you know a few years later in a movie. 1229 01:05:29.440 --> 01:05:33.079 Yeah. Yeah. I always love watching pre code movies and 1230 01:05:33.119 --> 01:05:36.320 thinking about my grandparents and going they were scandalized by 1231 01:05:36.360 --> 01:05:40.800 so much less than her in pre code films, all right. 1232 01:05:40.920 --> 01:05:44.679 Next up Joan Crawford in Possessed, No, not that Possessed. 1233 01:05:44.719 --> 01:05:47.719 This is nineteen thirty one's Possessed, also coming on May 1234 01:05:47.719 --> 01:05:50.719 twenty sixth from More Archive. This is Joan Crawford and 1235 01:05:50.840 --> 01:05:53.159 Clark Gable in this one. We got a four K 1236 01:05:53.239 --> 01:05:55.679 scan of the original night rate negative. This will have 1237 01:05:55.800 --> 01:05:59.119 the MGM Dogville comedy short Love Tales of Morocco, and 1238 01:05:59.159 --> 01:06:03.480 a classic cartoon Bosco the dough Boy, which I'm just 1239 01:06:03.519 --> 01:06:05.440 glad that they're putting shorts on these. I'm glad that 1240 01:06:05.440 --> 01:06:07.760 we're getting all of this archived. It's Clark Gable and 1241 01:06:07.880 --> 01:06:10.159 Joan Crawford, Like, I got to watch this at some point. 1242 01:06:10.199 --> 01:06:11.159 This sounds fantastic. 1243 01:06:11.400 --> 01:06:13.800 And my one of my old roommates in La Nora, 1244 01:06:14.400 --> 01:06:17.480 who writes about classic film. She actually writes one of 1245 01:06:17.519 --> 01:06:20.280 the essays and arrows I think in Vollow You three 1246 01:06:20.280 --> 01:06:23.199 in the film war set. Huge fan of Betty Davis 1247 01:06:23.199 --> 01:06:25.440 and Joan Crawford. You know, this is a woman in 1248 01:06:25.480 --> 01:06:31.079 her twenties. She has tattoos of them, you know, magnets 1249 01:06:31.079 --> 01:06:34.400 on the fridge. I think she said her favorite movie 1250 01:06:34.440 --> 01:06:36.920 was humor Esque. So when one archive released that, I 1251 01:06:36.960 --> 01:06:39.000 had to tager in the announcement you know you might 1252 01:06:39.039 --> 01:06:42.679 want to buy this, So yeah, yeah, as long as 1253 01:06:43.239 --> 01:06:46.719 you know, again there's always a new audience for movies 1254 01:06:46.760 --> 01:06:47.039 like this. 1255 01:06:48.639 --> 01:06:52.320 I agree. Yeah, And then maybe the biggest one of 1256 01:06:52.320 --> 01:06:54.239 the month for a lot of people. As we get 1257 01:06:54.400 --> 01:06:56.760 the Late Show from nineteen seventy seven with Ark Carney 1258 01:06:56.800 --> 01:07:00.480 and Lily Tomlin. This is of course a big one 1259 01:07:00.519 --> 01:07:02.679 because it is one that people have wanted on HD 1260 01:07:02.880 --> 01:07:05.920 for quite some time. You've got Robert Benton also in 1261 01:07:05.960 --> 01:07:09.880 this one. This is let's see, there was one more 1262 01:07:09.960 --> 01:07:12.320 thing that I wanted to shout out four case gaining 1263 01:07:12.360 --> 01:07:15.159 the original camera negative excerpt from Dinah from nineteen seventy 1264 01:07:15.199 --> 01:07:18.679 seven Talk show with Lily Tomlin and Dinah Shore. Just 1265 01:07:19.039 --> 01:07:21.800 absolutely great that this is coming out on HD finally, 1266 01:07:22.239 --> 01:07:24.599 any Art Carney or Lily Tomlin. 1267 01:07:24.239 --> 01:07:28.159 Thoughts, not really except I think I looked it up 1268 01:07:28.199 --> 01:07:30.719 once and I'm pretty sure I think Lily Tomlin was 1269 01:07:30.760 --> 01:07:35.760 the host of SNL the weekend I was born. I 1270 01:07:35.800 --> 01:07:37.840 was born on a Sunday morning, and I think if 1271 01:07:37.840 --> 01:07:39.519 she was hosting SNL the night before. 1272 01:07:40.519 --> 01:07:40.760 Nice. 1273 01:07:41.199 --> 01:07:43.039 But this reminds though. I think in the. 1274 01:07:43.079 --> 01:07:48.800 Last month's announcement, one was Private Benjamin. And you know 1275 01:07:48.840 --> 01:07:51.800 some of these titles, I'm shocked like they haven't either 1276 01:07:51.840 --> 01:07:55.400 they got old archive releases on DVD or something like 1277 01:07:55.440 --> 01:07:58.400 Private Benjamin probably got a DVD release In a snapper 1278 01:07:58.440 --> 01:08:04.239 case twenty five years ago, and that's extra better treatment 1279 01:08:04.599 --> 01:08:08.559 until now, you know so. But again I'm glad, you know, 1280 01:08:08.800 --> 01:08:11.320 glad to see something like this out and available and 1281 01:08:11.400 --> 01:08:12.920 with the original art and everything. 1282 01:08:13.639 --> 01:08:17.000 Yeah, big deal. Definitely wanting this one. This looks fantastic. 1283 01:08:17.960 --> 01:08:20.840 And then we got a big boy. We had heard 1284 01:08:20.880 --> 01:08:24.079 that this was coming seven announced the titles. We've got 1285 01:08:24.119 --> 01:08:27.239 a four K blu ray box set coming of Sinster 1286 01:08:27.439 --> 01:08:31.159 Directs Hammer box Set. This is seven discs. In this 1287 01:08:31.199 --> 01:08:33.760 box set, We've got the Horror of Frankenstein, Lust for 1288 01:08:33.800 --> 01:08:36.560 a Vampire, and Fear in the Night. This is going 1289 01:08:36.600 --> 01:08:38.920 to be three films on seven discs, with an all 1290 01:08:39.000 --> 01:08:43.239 new three hundred and twelve page book and nineteen hours 1291 01:08:43.239 --> 01:08:46.119 of special features before we go into some of the details. 1292 01:08:46.439 --> 01:08:48.199 Any thoughts on these seven box sets? Do you pick 1293 01:08:48.279 --> 01:08:49.359 up any of the box sets from them? 1294 01:08:50.119 --> 01:08:51.880 No? I haven't, although I will say. 1295 01:08:53.560 --> 01:08:53.840 I did. 1296 01:08:54.159 --> 01:08:56.760 I worked on The Wild Geese for severin which I 1297 01:08:56.960 --> 01:09:00.560 think our booklet I think is four pages longer. Not 1298 01:09:00.600 --> 01:09:04.520 that it's a contest or anything, but no, I haven't. 1299 01:09:06.000 --> 01:09:13.000 Definitely looks cool though, and yeah, just I know I'm 1300 01:09:13.039 --> 01:09:15.600 kind of a bit a broken record here, but again, 1301 01:09:15.600 --> 01:09:17.640 I'm just happy that any of these are out and 1302 01:09:17.880 --> 01:09:21.479 with you know, awesome artwork and everything. 1303 01:09:22.399 --> 01:09:25.680 Yeah, they kind of crushed this one. This is going 1304 01:09:25.720 --> 01:09:28.760 to be shipping on or around June thirtieth, maybe slightly 1305 01:09:28.800 --> 01:09:31.960 before if you order from their website. Some of the 1306 01:09:31.960 --> 01:09:35.079 details on here though, get really deep on this. So 1307 01:09:35.359 --> 01:09:38.119 the Horror of Frankenstein, We've got a commentary Sankster and 1308 01:09:38.199 --> 01:09:41.159 Marcus Hearn. We got a commentary by Tim Lucas on 1309 01:09:41.199 --> 01:09:43.199 the Blu Ray. We've got all of those things, and 1310 01:09:43.239 --> 01:09:47.079 then an archival interview and then we continue on. We've 1311 01:09:47.119 --> 01:09:51.199 got all kinds of other archival interviews, featurettes on literally 1312 01:09:51.279 --> 01:09:54.680 every single film that is in this box set, Lots 1313 01:09:54.720 --> 01:09:57.000 and lots of stuff. If you do have the UK 1314 01:09:57.199 --> 01:09:59.279 releases of these films, a lot of these are the 1315 01:09:59.279 --> 01:10:02.319 same supplement that are on those. But this is crazy. 1316 01:10:02.319 --> 01:10:04.520 To get all three of these in one box set together. 1317 01:10:05.359 --> 01:10:09.560 Looks like a just absolutely fantastic release. The seventh disc, 1318 01:10:09.640 --> 01:10:11.560 by the way, it's three films, so you would think 1319 01:10:11.600 --> 01:10:13.119 a four K and a Blu Ray for each film. 1320 01:10:13.119 --> 01:10:16.560 Why is there's seven discs. The seventh one just even 1321 01:10:16.680 --> 01:10:20.840 more bonus features. There is legacy documentaries, on here. There's 1322 01:10:20.920 --> 01:10:23.199 a brand new documentary called Hammer and Beyond the Jimmy 1323 01:10:23.199 --> 01:10:26.680 Sinkster Legacy from twenty twenty six by Marcus Hearn. There 1324 01:10:26.800 --> 01:10:32.119 is just so much in here, interviews, visual essays, appreciations, 1325 01:10:32.800 --> 01:10:35.680 introductions to the films, so much on here. This is 1326 01:10:36.359 --> 01:10:44.000 an abundance of riches if you're a Hammer fan. Terry says, 1327 01:10:44.039 --> 01:10:45.359 the artwork is a little bad. 1328 01:10:46.680 --> 01:10:48.359 I'm just looking at the box and it looks like 1329 01:10:48.399 --> 01:10:50.520 it's split in the middle where you take the top 1330 01:10:50.560 --> 01:10:53.479 off and yep. Working on a few of those for arrow, 1331 01:10:54.359 --> 01:10:57.840 you know, getting that to align properly is more often 1332 01:10:57.840 --> 01:11:00.640 than not a pain, Especially with DIF printers. There's usually 1333 01:11:00.680 --> 01:11:03.479 a one or two millimeter variant. So if you get 1334 01:11:03.479 --> 01:11:08.640 one that line set great. If not, sorry, you know, 1335 01:11:08.680 --> 01:11:10.000 we do the best we can with these. 1336 01:11:10.720 --> 01:11:13.640 Yeah, I completely understand that that is a lot of 1337 01:11:13.640 --> 01:11:17.199 work guaranteed to go with this, They are also releasing 1338 01:11:17.399 --> 01:11:19.840 Children of the Wicker Man. This is coming on the 1339 01:11:19.840 --> 01:11:23.720 same day. This is a twenty twenty four film. This 1340 01:11:23.760 --> 01:11:25.600 is the first time it's been on disc anywhere in 1341 01:11:25.600 --> 01:11:28.800 the world. And this is let's see with this seventy 1342 01:11:28.800 --> 01:11:31.399 three directorial debut. Robin Hardy fought to kraft what would 1343 01:11:31.399 --> 01:11:33.760 eventually be recognized as one of the greatest horror movies 1344 01:11:33.800 --> 01:11:36.479 ever made. But for his loved ones, Hardy created a 1345 01:11:36.600 --> 01:11:39.800 very different kind of nightmare. Now. Art historian Dominic Hardy 1346 01:11:39.800 --> 01:11:43.359 and filmmaker Justin Hardy, half brothers and self described far 1347 01:11:43.479 --> 01:11:47.159 flung spawn, explore their late father's complicated legacy and this 1348 01:11:47.239 --> 01:11:50.239 incredibly brave and touching documentary that will take you on 1349 01:11:50.279 --> 01:11:53.439 a journey unlike any you've been on before. This will 1350 01:11:53.439 --> 01:11:57.439 have interviews with the filmmakers, It will have Q and 1351 01:11:57.439 --> 01:12:00.359 A with a excuse me the filmmakers as well making 1352 01:12:00.399 --> 01:12:03.600 a featurette and a trailer. I love The Wickerman or 1353 01:12:03.760 --> 01:12:04.800 are you a Wickerman fan? 1354 01:12:05.359 --> 01:12:08.840 It's been a while, that's for sure. Although this this 1355 01:12:08.920 --> 01:12:10.760 is a documentary, it is. 1356 01:12:10.680 --> 01:12:12.600 A documentary about the director of The Wickerman. 1357 01:12:12.880 --> 01:12:15.199 But I always find it interesting when document you know, 1358 01:12:15.199 --> 01:12:19.279 when documentaries have extras, because it's almost like documenting the 1359 01:12:19.319 --> 01:12:22.199 documentary and there's like an extra level of meta sort 1360 01:12:22.199 --> 01:12:23.520 of involved, you know. 1361 01:12:23.520 --> 01:12:26.319 You know what I mean. Yeah, working on that myself 1362 01:12:26.399 --> 01:12:29.039 right now. We uh not to go too far behind 1363 01:12:29.039 --> 01:12:31.119 the scenes, but a lot of people were interested that 1364 01:12:31.399 --> 01:12:34.239 Antenna's first title that we announced was a documentary, because 1365 01:12:34.239 --> 01:12:37.760 a lot of physical media companies do not do any documentaries. 1366 01:12:38.359 --> 01:12:42.319 I can flatly say right now we have signed many documentaries, 1367 01:12:42.439 --> 01:12:44.960 at least four or five, and all of them will 1368 01:12:44.960 --> 01:12:48.199 be getting physical releases. I think there's one that is 1369 01:12:48.279 --> 01:12:50.880 up in the air, but they will each come with 1370 01:12:50.920 --> 01:12:54.359 a wide, wide breadth of extras. I can guarantee that. 1371 01:12:54.439 --> 01:12:54.680 Now. 1372 01:12:55.680 --> 01:12:58.920 To round out the month for Severn, this is maybe 1373 01:12:59.000 --> 01:13:02.560 my most exciting release of this entire slate. Here they 1374 01:13:02.880 --> 01:13:06.039 partnered with Yellow Veil, who is now also a partner 1375 01:13:06.159 --> 01:13:08.760 label of seven. Don't worry, they're still a partner label 1376 01:13:08.760 --> 01:13:11.840 of OCN. Who knows why they had to go for 1377 01:13:11.880 --> 01:13:15.039 Severn for this one. Maybe just to put out a 1378 01:13:15.079 --> 01:13:17.359 box set because not a lot of partner labels get 1379 01:13:17.359 --> 01:13:19.720 to do that. For OCN, Maybe they just have too 1380 01:13:19.720 --> 01:13:23.039 many films. Maybe it was just a Severn co production. Well, 1381 01:13:23.119 --> 01:13:27.199 we'll probably never find out, but they're putting out a 1382 01:13:27.239 --> 01:13:30.600 box set of films for a filmmaker that I'm going 1383 01:13:30.640 --> 01:13:34.239 to butcher the name here, and I apologize. Adam is 1384 01:13:34.279 --> 01:13:36.880 already waiting for me to say the name. I believe 1385 01:13:36.920 --> 01:13:40.600 it's Lucille Hadja lev I had it the first time, 1386 01:13:40.840 --> 01:13:46.520 Hadja Halivovich. I believe that's pretty close. Hadja Halivovich, Hala Lovich. 1387 01:13:46.640 --> 01:13:50.359 There it is Hadja Hadja Halilovich, is I believe the 1388 01:13:50.399 --> 01:13:52.479 right way to say it. This is a four disc 1389 01:13:52.600 --> 01:13:55.319 set with four hours of special features in a sixty 1390 01:13:55.359 --> 01:13:59.560 page companion book. In this set we've got Innocence, Evolution, 1391 01:13:59.840 --> 01:14:03.439 the Ice Tower, and Earwig. If you've been paying attention 1392 01:14:03.560 --> 01:14:07.880 to releases overseas, you'll probably recognize Earwig that was released 1393 01:14:07.880 --> 01:14:10.279 by the company Anti World so over in the UK. 1394 01:14:10.399 --> 01:14:13.880 They are like a sister label of Indicator, and all 1395 01:14:13.920 --> 01:14:17.760 of these are filled with extras. I think we've got 1396 01:14:17.800 --> 01:14:20.279 one or two that are brand new releases in the 1397 01:14:20.319 --> 01:14:23.479 North American side. So Innocence this is a North American 1398 01:14:23.520 --> 01:14:27.880 Blu Ray premiere, sounds like a great film. The Evolution 1399 01:14:28.199 --> 01:14:30.840 is not for the first time, but it's got some 1400 01:14:30.920 --> 01:14:33.119 extras on there as well. Earwig is first time in 1401 01:14:33.159 --> 01:14:36.239 North America, and that's got a bunch of extras, including 1402 01:14:36.279 --> 01:14:39.319 short films on a few of these. And they've also 1403 01:14:39.479 --> 01:14:43.199 got at the bottom there there it is the Ice Tower, 1404 01:14:43.720 --> 01:14:46.279 a bunch of extras as well, Q and a's introduction. 1405 01:14:46.520 --> 01:14:50.319 Everything this looks fantastic. 1406 01:14:51.000 --> 01:14:54.840 And with artwork by my friend Beth Morris, who actually 1407 01:14:54.920 --> 01:14:57.479 met when I was in the UK for six months. 1408 01:14:57.520 --> 01:15:00.239 I spent a month in Cardiff and we met a 1409 01:15:00.239 --> 01:15:03.720 couple times at the community space I was working out of, 1410 01:15:03.760 --> 01:15:05.279 called the Chapter Art Center. 1411 01:15:05.760 --> 01:15:08.439 And always fund to talk shop. 1412 01:15:08.520 --> 01:15:11.319 And then he's certainly getting a ton of work too, 1413 01:15:11.479 --> 01:15:13.760 so always happy to see that. 1414 01:15:14.359 --> 01:15:16.720 Beth is incredible. We'll talk about her later tonight for 1415 01:15:16.800 --> 01:15:21.960 something special for me. They have a bunch of so 1416 01:15:22.039 --> 01:15:24.760 many bundles to choose from this month, almost too many, 1417 01:15:25.239 --> 01:15:27.159 but let's talk about these real quick. So we've got 1418 01:15:27.239 --> 01:15:29.680 the Wicker Basket, which has the Children of the Wickerman 1419 01:15:30.159 --> 01:15:32.159 and then a book with it that is a two 1420 01:15:32.239 --> 01:15:35.159 hundred and thirty two page hardcover book. That bundle forty 1421 01:15:35.199 --> 01:15:37.800 one bucks to me, not a terrible price. You get 1422 01:15:37.840 --> 01:15:40.800 a documentary, you get a pretty decent hardcover book. Forty 1423 01:15:40.840 --> 01:15:45.000 bucks not too bad. Second bundle, they've got the Sinster 1424 01:15:45.159 --> 01:15:49.079 Celebration Bundle. This thing gets you the Sangster box set. 1425 01:15:49.119 --> 01:15:53.199 You've got a lust for a Vampire novelization nineteen seventy 1426 01:15:53.199 --> 01:15:56.279 one reissue.

Again, seven been pretty 1431 01:16:09.479 --> 01:16:13.199 reasonable with their prices lately. Then you've got the Sangster 1432 01:16:13.439 --> 01:16:16.239 Wicker Bundle. This gets you both of the children of 1433 01:16:16.239 --> 01:16:19.800 the Wickerman items and all of the Sangster Directs Hammer 1434 01:16:19.920 --> 01:16:24.720 items all together one n two hundred bucks. Not too 1435 01:16:24.840 --> 01:16:28.359 too bad either. Or you can go all in on 1436 01:16:28.479 --> 01:16:34.159 Sangster and the Hadja Hella Loovich box. This is pretty crazy. 1437 01:16:34.199 --> 01:16:35.800 It will get you the box sets, it will get 1438 01:16:35.840 --> 01:16:37.399 you the book, it will get you the three pins. 1439 01:16:37.479 --> 01:16:42.159 All of that two hundred and twenty five dollars. Anything 1440 01:16:42.199 --> 01:16:44.840 in these announcements from seven that you're like, Man, I 1441 01:16:44.880 --> 01:16:46.760 am very keen on that one. 1442 01:16:48.640 --> 01:16:52.760 Certainly some stuff I'd like to watch, but. 1443 01:16:55.560 --> 01:16:59.680 Not at the moment understandable it again, you know, never 1444 01:16:59.720 --> 01:17:04.680 saying and you know it's every move, you know, it's 1445 01:17:04.840 --> 01:17:06.520 you know, it's like if you haven't seen it, it's new. 1446 01:17:06.359 --> 01:17:12.359 For you, so exactly exactly. Next up, very interesting. I 1447 01:17:12.840 --> 01:17:16.520 never expected to see this. June second, Universal and SDS 1448 01:17:16.560 --> 01:17:22.199 Studio Distribution Services, they're releasing the Office super Fan extended episodes. Now, 1449 01:17:22.319 --> 01:17:25.279 what is been a little bit confusing for people is 1450 01:17:25.359 --> 01:17:28.119 this is the complete series of The Office. This is 1451 01:17:28.159 --> 01:17:31.760 getting the extended episodes that were on Peacock. Every single 1452 01:17:31.760 --> 01:17:34.520 episode in the series has been extended, and so you 1453 01:17:34.600 --> 01:17:38.159 get all of those. It's more than twenty five extra 1454 01:17:38.319 --> 01:17:41.680 hours compared to the original release of the complete series. 1455 01:17:42.039 --> 01:17:43.439 Are you an Office fan? 1456 01:17:44.199 --> 01:17:46.399 I haven't watched it since it aired, but yeah, I 1457 01:17:46.479 --> 01:17:50.439 was a big Office fan, and I remember, you know, 1458 01:17:50.479 --> 01:17:53.600 if you remember those first few episodes, you know, he 1459 01:17:53.640 --> 01:17:57.439 played Michael a little differently, he had the hair slip back. 1460 01:17:57.479 --> 01:17:59.760 But I was already a fan of the British version, 1461 01:18:00.279 --> 01:18:02.079 and I remember there was a report on one of 1462 01:18:02.079 --> 01:18:06.159 the geek websites about a test screening for this one, 1463 01:18:06.680 --> 01:18:08.960 and apparently people thought it was too depressing. And when 1464 01:18:08.960 --> 01:18:11.760 I read that, I thought they got it. It'll work. 1465 01:18:12.279 --> 01:18:14.319 If people think it's people who don't know think it's 1466 01:18:14.319 --> 01:18:16.479 too depressing, then they got it right. 1467 01:18:16.800 --> 01:18:18.560 But I have not seen the extended ones. 1468 01:18:19.319 --> 01:18:22.199 Though I've not seen any of them either. I hear 1469 01:18:22.279 --> 01:18:24.840 they're very interesting. Just keep in mind you likely will 1470 01:18:24.880 --> 01:18:26.319 not get all the extras that are on the old 1471 01:18:26.319 --> 01:18:30.159 box set. Here, Stan is saying it looks prohibitively expensive. 1472 01:18:30.560 --> 01:18:32.600 I gotta be honest, I'm kind of shocked this thing 1473 01:18:32.640 --> 01:18:34.960 is on Amazon right now for less than seventy five bucks, 1474 01:18:35.560 --> 01:18:38.680 and for a release day release of a complete series 1475 01:18:38.720 --> 01:18:42.880 with twenty five extra hours of content. That seems pretty 1476 01:18:42.880 --> 01:18:45.560 inexpensive for a studio release for me. I mean, it's 1477 01:18:45.560 --> 01:18:48.159 still granted, it's twenty twenty six seventy five bucks, still 1478 01:18:48.199 --> 01:18:51.520 a lot of money, but that seems fairly inexpensive compared 1479 01:18:51.520 --> 01:18:56.239 to what I expected. All right, Next up, speaking of expensive, 1480 01:18:56.960 --> 01:19:01.439 May twenty sixth, Lionsgate is releasing this Amazon exclusive Rambo 1481 01:19:01.680 --> 01:19:06.000 four K collection. Now, this is going to be interesting. 1482 01:19:06.039 --> 01:19:08.840 If you picked up the last big Rambo four K 1483 01:19:08.880 --> 01:19:11.840 steel book set that had come out, and the reason 1484 01:19:11.880 --> 01:19:15.560 here is because they fixed kind of everything that was 1485 01:19:15.600 --> 01:19:17.560 wrong with that set. And if you're a big Rambo fan, 1486 01:19:17.640 --> 01:19:20.399 which I am not, and you were anal about everything 1487 01:19:20.399 --> 01:19:22.079 that was wrong about that set, you're going to be 1488 01:19:22.159 --> 01:19:24.399 quite frustrated because that thing costs like one hundred and 1489 01:19:24.399 --> 01:19:27.239 twenty five bucks. This thing is around one hundred. It's 1490 01:19:27.239 --> 01:19:29.439 not the steel books and all that stuff, but they 1491 01:19:29.560 --> 01:19:31.520 fixed so much so I'm gonna go through some of 1492 01:19:31.560 --> 01:19:34.560 these that's brand new. There's a brand new bonus disc 1493 01:19:34.640 --> 01:19:37.800 that's brand new on this. It's got reflections on First 1494 01:19:37.800 --> 01:19:41.439 Blood with Ted Katchief storyboarding First Blood, the Art of Rambo, 1495 01:19:41.560 --> 01:19:49.159 Rambo auction poster gallery. Then on the second disc, everything 1496 01:19:49.239 --> 01:19:51.439 is the same on that. We're going to get into 1497 01:19:51.479 --> 01:19:53.760 the actual audio fixes and stuff like that in just 1498 01:19:53.800 --> 01:19:57.039 a minute, but it's got all of the Rambo films. 1499 01:19:57.800 --> 01:20:00.359 I've heard everybody laugh about there only being three and 1500 01:20:00.840 --> 01:20:02.680 four and depending on how many you love and all that. 1501 01:20:03.159 --> 01:20:07.439 But this is where it gets super interesting because we've 1502 01:20:07.439 --> 01:20:11.239 got the theatrical and Sylvester Sloan's extended edition on Last Blood. 1503 01:20:11.479 --> 01:20:15.680 There's a brand new Dolby Atmost cut on Last Blood 1504 01:20:15.720 --> 01:20:18.039 that was not in the original one. We've got Dolby 1505 01:20:18.039 --> 01:20:21.560 Atmost on Rambo three. We've got Dolby Vision on all 1506 01:20:21.600 --> 01:20:24.079 of these that was not on the previous releases. We've 1507 01:20:24.079 --> 01:20:26.359 got like the original laser disc audio on a couple 1508 01:20:26.439 --> 01:20:31.039 of these that are brand new, we've got let's see 1509 01:20:31.239 --> 01:20:33.960 Dolby True HD five point one from the newly discovered 1510 01:20:33.960 --> 01:20:37.439 seventy millimeters six track magnetic soundtrack on Rambow First Blood 1511 01:20:37.479 --> 01:20:40.960 Part two, like lots of stuff that they went in 1512 01:20:41.039 --> 01:20:43.359 and found after the first set was kind of botched, 1513 01:20:43.960 --> 01:20:46.520 and this looks like it's gonna be pretty solid if 1514 01:20:46.520 --> 01:20:49.920 you are a Rainbow fan. Are you a Rambow fan, sir? 1515 01:20:50.840 --> 01:20:55.920 I not a hardcore fan. I love the first film. 1516 01:20:56.399 --> 01:20:59.119 Yeah, but the first film, of course, is completely different 1517 01:20:59.159 --> 01:20:59.760 from the rest. 1518 01:21:00.079 --> 01:21:03.119 Enjoy two and three. I like the fourth one. 1519 01:21:03.119 --> 01:21:05.800 I still haven't seen the last one, actually, the Last Blood, 1520 01:21:06.640 --> 01:21:09.560 and I still can't believe. You know, Ted Kachef, who 1521 01:21:09.560 --> 01:21:12.520 directed First Blood, also did we get at Bernie's. You know, 1522 01:21:12.640 --> 01:21:17.079 that's versatility. But I saw this and it was like, yeah, 1523 01:21:17.159 --> 01:21:18.800 I'm gonna have to pick it up. I've only ever 1524 01:21:18.800 --> 01:21:20.279 owned the first one, and I think I got it 1525 01:21:20.279 --> 01:21:23.840 at best Buy for eight bucks, so you know, I'll 1526 01:21:24.159 --> 01:21:25.560 go with this. But I do have to give a 1527 01:21:25.560 --> 01:21:30.039 shout out to the folks that at Trata the record label, 1528 01:21:30.920 --> 01:21:34.720 they've released the complete remastered scores over the years for 1529 01:21:34.760 --> 01:21:38.520 the first three films. In fact, First Blood just got 1530 01:21:38.520 --> 01:21:42.600 a new release. But to you know, Fix's previous errors 1531 01:21:42.600 --> 01:21:46.760 and yeah, things like that. And I believe their release 1532 01:21:46.800 --> 01:21:50.119 of Rambow of Part two, which came out I think 1533 01:21:50.119 --> 01:21:55.439 in twenty sixteen, there's an alternate entitle piece that Jerry 1534 01:21:55.439 --> 01:21:58.279 Goldsmith did which I think they salvaged from a tape 1535 01:21:58.279 --> 01:22:02.560 cassette or something, you know, so they're still discovering things 1536 01:22:02.560 --> 01:22:06.399 from these movies. But yeah, I'm definitely gonna have to 1537 01:22:06.439 --> 01:22:07.079 pick this up. 1538 01:22:08.479 --> 01:22:11.359 This is This is gonna be tough because it has 1539 01:22:11.439 --> 01:22:13.600 sold out multiple times already. So if you're keen on 1540 01:22:13.640 --> 01:22:15.760 this one, you might want to get it sooner than 1541 01:22:15.800 --> 01:22:16.680 later if you can. 1542 01:22:16.840 --> 01:22:22.039 Even well, I learned that lesson. Funny enough, if it's 1543 01:22:22.079 --> 01:22:26.039 something i'm thinking about, I just order it because I 1544 01:22:26.079 --> 01:22:28.760 remember when I ordered the they've reprinted it. But when 1545 01:22:28.800 --> 01:22:32.000 Sony did their Lawrence of Arabia steel book, it's the 1546 01:22:32.039 --> 01:22:35.319 only time I had an Amazon order canceled, like they 1547 01:22:35.359 --> 01:22:36.600 literally rain out where. 1548 01:22:36.479 --> 01:22:37.199 They got to mine. 1549 01:22:37.239 --> 01:22:39.520 I ended up ordering it from Target, of all places, 1550 01:22:40.439 --> 01:22:45.039 you know, they had it, you know, again first world problems, 1551 01:22:45.079 --> 01:22:47.760 but you know at the time it was like no 1552 01:22:48.079 --> 01:22:50.960 but Target, who knew for. 1553 01:22:51.279 --> 01:22:54.359 Those that weren't following that saga. Closely shortly after that 1554 01:22:54.399 --> 01:22:56.279 thing sold out it was going for over two hundred 1555 01:22:56.279 --> 01:23:01.359 dollars on eBay, which is just insanity, all right. Next up, 1556 01:23:01.600 --> 01:23:03.359 June sixteenth, we get a four K blu ray and 1557 01:23:03.439 --> 01:23:08.039 DVD coming of Boz Luhrman's epic Elvis Presley in Concert 1558 01:23:08.079 --> 01:23:11.439 from last year. They also had part of the press release. 1559 01:23:11.800 --> 01:23:13.760 This is the second time in the last year that 1560 01:23:13.880 --> 01:23:17.279 a brand new studio film says a special edition steel 1561 01:23:17.319 --> 01:23:20.560 book will also follow later this year. So if you 1562 01:23:20.600 --> 01:23:23.159 want a special edition of this, that's not saying it'll 1563 01:23:23.159 --> 01:23:25.880 have special features, but to me, that's what special edition 1564 01:23:25.920 --> 01:23:28.279 would mean. Also, they're obviously doing a steel book, so 1565 01:23:28.279 --> 01:23:29.560 if you're a stee book fan, you might want to 1566 01:23:29.560 --> 01:23:32.199 wait on that. But there's nothing on this disc other 1567 01:23:32.279 --> 01:23:34.479 than the film. If you're an Elvis person or a 1568 01:23:34.479 --> 01:23:37.199 bos Lehman person, that might be enough, But if you 1569 01:23:37.319 --> 01:23:39.199 really love it and you want extras, you might want 1570 01:23:39.199 --> 01:23:42.960 to wait. All I know is that I've heard so 1571 01:23:43.039 --> 01:23:45.760 many varied opinions on this sort of thing. A lot 1572 01:23:45.760 --> 01:23:47.479 of people that love it, a lot of people that 1573 01:23:47.520 --> 01:23:51.720 are pissed off because Boz Lherman kind of like shook 1574 01:23:51.760 --> 01:23:55.479 things up, didn't credit even like the band members sort 1575 01:23:55.520 --> 01:23:59.079 of made some of the performances be disjointed and not 1576 01:23:59.119 --> 01:24:03.399 properly done. Are you an Elvis guy. 1577 01:24:03.560 --> 01:24:06.439 I mean I am to the extent that everyone else is. 1578 01:24:06.760 --> 01:24:11.279 I mean, I'm certainly no expert. I enjoy I went 1579 01:24:11.319 --> 01:24:14.479 to the Neon Museum in Vegas where they have all 1580 01:24:14.479 --> 01:24:17.479 the old signs. And I'm not a Vegas I'm not 1581 01:24:17.479 --> 01:24:20.199 an expert on Vegas's history, but they were you know, 1582 01:24:20.239 --> 01:24:22.079 some people there who were looking at it. It's like, oh, 1583 01:24:22.119 --> 01:24:25.840 that's the marquee from where Elvis performed in nineteen you know, 1584 01:24:25.880 --> 01:24:30.439 they were naming all that stuff. Yeah, they are definitely 1585 01:24:30.439 --> 01:24:32.199 people who are bigger fans than I am. 1586 01:24:33.800 --> 01:24:36.640 I get it. I'm not super high up on it either, 1587 01:24:36.800 --> 01:24:40.039 but yeah, I'm very curious what a giant Elvis fan 1588 01:24:40.079 --> 01:24:43.720 thinks of this thing, as you sure. Next up one 1589 01:24:43.920 --> 01:24:46.159 that I loved from last year. May twelfth, we are 1590 01:24:46.199 --> 01:24:49.439 finally getting news about a blu ray release from Lionsgate 1591 01:24:49.600 --> 01:24:52.159 of Twinless from last year. Did you get see this one? 1592 01:24:52.399 --> 01:24:52.960 No? I didn't. 1593 01:24:54.079 --> 01:24:56.520 This is starring Dylan O'Brien and James Sweeney, The Gentleman 1594 01:24:56.560 --> 01:24:58.840 on the Right. James Sweeney is also the director of 1595 01:24:58.840 --> 01:25:01.800 the film I believe the right as well. This is 1596 01:25:01.840 --> 01:25:04.159 a movie that I can't really say much about. You 1597 01:25:04.239 --> 01:25:07.640 kinda shouldn't know anything about it, just going too a blind. 1598 01:25:07.680 --> 01:25:09.359 I think it's up on Hulu right now. But this 1599 01:25:09.560 --> 01:25:12.119 is one of the best films of the year and 1600 01:25:12.239 --> 01:25:15.680 hardly anybody got to see it. Please give this a watch. 1601 01:25:15.880 --> 01:25:18.239 I am very very much going to be picking this 1602 01:25:18.319 --> 01:25:23.000 disc up. It's one of my favorites. Next one that 1603 01:25:23.079 --> 01:25:25.279 I'm quite excited about as well. We got some details 1604 01:25:25.319 --> 01:25:26.680 on this. We talked about this, I think about a 1605 01:25:26.680 --> 01:25:28.840 month ago, but June twenty third, we are getting a 1606 01:25:28.880 --> 01:25:31.520 Blu Raine DVD release here in the US from cult 1607 01:25:31.600 --> 01:25:35.279 epics of Don't Play with Fire. Now, what is that movie? 1608 01:25:35.359 --> 01:25:37.520 You probably know it more if you know this type 1609 01:25:37.520 --> 01:25:40.319 of film as Dangerous Encounters of the first kind. This 1610 01:25:40.439 --> 01:25:44.680 is from Troy Hart from nineteen eighty.

Yeah, but my last one 1629 01:26:43.560 --> 01:26:46.079 was The Girl who Left Through Time with Sam Smith's art, 1630 01:26:46.119 --> 01:26:49.439 so I did not work on this one.

I know that's a big 1649 01:27:45.239 --> 01:27:48.600 thing for a lot of people, and as it should be. Obviously, 1650 01:27:48.680 --> 01:27:52.359 you want it framed properly, but not sure. Via Vision 1651 01:27:52.399 --> 01:27:56.279 Slash Imprint has misprinted that Wanter thrice before, so you 1652 01:27:56.399 --> 01:27:59.319 might want to check out. If you like are a 1653 01:27:59.399 --> 01:28:01.359 huge fan of the movie, you might want to wait 1654 01:28:01.359 --> 01:28:03.359 for some reviews because this is not selling out day 1655 01:28:03.359 --> 01:28:09.399 one guaranteed. Yep YEP. Via Vision seems to be making 1656 01:28:09.439 --> 01:28:11.680 a thing at a releasing remakes of eighties horror movies 1657 01:28:11.720 --> 01:28:13.439 and they sell well, mister a fat man, I mean 1658 01:28:13.520 --> 01:28:17.520 they're gonna keep selling, all right, move in to our 1659 01:28:17.640 --> 01:28:21.760 next one. Speaking of eighties horror movies, Imprint is re 1660 01:28:21.760 --> 01:28:25.520 releasing life Force. They had the giant, bigger than a 1661 01:28:25.520 --> 01:28:28.119 serial box sized Life Force that they'd put out previously. 1662 01:28:28.600 --> 01:28:30.960 This is a pared down version of that release. It 1663 01:28:31.000 --> 01:28:33.359 has the exact same four discs, all of the extras 1664 01:28:33.359 --> 01:28:35.359 are the same. It's got a booklet with it in 1665 01:28:35.399 --> 01:28:38.840 a hard box release. It doesn't have the posters, it 1666 01:28:38.880 --> 01:28:41.680 doesn't have all of the other stuff that they had 1667 01:28:41.680 --> 01:28:43.159 with it, Like I think they had the script in 1668 01:28:43.199 --> 01:28:46.199 the first release. But this is gonna be significantly cheaper 1669 01:28:46.279 --> 01:28:48.279 and it's still in print, and that's a good thing. 1670 01:28:48.680 --> 01:28:53.399 Life Force rules obviously. This is like the fourth limited 1671 01:28:53.520 --> 01:28:55.920 edition release of life Force, which is a little overkilled. 1672 01:28:55.960 --> 01:28:58.520 Just keep in mind, territories are a thing. If you've 1673 01:28:58.520 --> 01:29:00.800 never seen Life Force, is a best time to watch it. 1674 01:29:00.800 --> 01:29:02.720 It's a great movie. You should watch it. 1675 01:29:04.680 --> 01:29:09.039 I kind of still want the big box. Yeah, yeah, 1676 01:29:09.079 --> 01:29:15.119 this movie is bonkers. I kind of love it. And 1677 01:29:15.159 --> 01:29:20.520 what's funny, So this is so friend So a friend 1678 01:29:20.520 --> 01:29:22.319 of mine and his family they went to the Caribbean 1679 01:29:22.800 --> 01:29:25.560 and I just had to google it. In Saint Martin, 1680 01:29:27.079 --> 01:29:30.479 Nick Malley, who did a lot of the makeup and creature. 1681 01:29:30.239 --> 01:29:31.119 Effects for this. 1682 01:29:31.159 --> 01:29:32.960 I think he's on one of the audio commentaries. He 1683 01:29:33.000 --> 01:29:36.760 has a little museum with his collection, so if you're 1684 01:29:36.760 --> 01:29:39.520 ever in the Caribbean, checkout. It's literally called the Yoda 1685 01:29:39.680 --> 01:29:43.199 Guy Movie Experience because he worked on Empire. And my 1686 01:29:43.239 --> 01:29:45.800 friend told me that, and it's like, I'm pretty sure 1687 01:29:45.800 --> 01:29:48.760 there were several Yoda guys, but he's one of them. 1688 01:29:49.039 --> 01:29:51.439 And he has a little shop with props and things 1689 01:29:51.439 --> 01:29:53.520 on display. Just if you google it, you'll find the 1690 01:29:53.560 --> 01:29:55.760 page on trip Advisor. You know, it looks pretty cool, 1691 01:29:57.000 --> 01:30:01.560 but yeah, this movie's insane. And yeah, I know, and 1692 01:30:01.720 --> 01:30:04.159 you know, I know Screen Factory they didn't I think 1693 01:30:04.199 --> 01:30:06.159 only the theatrical cuts in four K, but all the 1694 01:30:06.199 --> 01:30:07.039 other labels. 1695 01:30:07.399 --> 01:30:09.800 And I asked Arrow about that, and I. 1696 01:30:09.760 --> 01:30:12.640 Think it was like, yeah, that took a lot of 1697 01:30:12.640 --> 01:30:15.960 work to get the the longer cut, you know, up 1698 01:30:16.000 --> 01:30:16.880 the spec for four K. 1699 01:30:17.119 --> 01:30:18.199 But glad they did it. 1700 01:30:18.880 --> 01:30:21.680 Glad they did it, and now Imprint has it as well. 1701 01:30:22.239 --> 01:30:24.000 I didn't want to shout out. Paul Berrman says the 1702 01:30:24.000 --> 01:30:26.600 episode on Imprint cast about Life Forces up now. Glad 1703 01:30:26.600 --> 01:30:29.239 to be a part of that. Howard s Berger is 1704 01:30:29.239 --> 01:30:32.119 also on that episode, and it's a long one. They 1705 01:30:32.159 --> 01:30:34.399 talk about the history of cannon films. Go give it 1706 01:30:34.439 --> 01:30:38.960 a listen for sure. Stan in our chat says Life 1707 01:30:39.000 --> 01:30:41.720 Forces very special to me. I don't want to spoil anything, 1708 01:30:41.760 --> 01:30:44.479 but we'll talk about Life Force later this year. In 1709 01:30:44.479 --> 01:30:49.319 regards to Stan, at some point, I believe let's carry on. 1710 01:30:50.760 --> 01:30:54.199 This one's a little frustrating. May nineteenth, here in the 1711 01:30:54.279 --> 01:30:56.640 US we are getting a BLU ray from Decal of 1712 01:30:56.760 --> 01:30:59.479 Sarat from last year. Which did you happen to see 1713 01:30:59.520 --> 01:31:03.560 Serat No? I have not. This is a very wild movie, 1714 01:31:03.640 --> 01:31:06.279 kind of hard to explain. It's a very sound, heavy movie. 1715 01:31:06.399 --> 01:31:08.199 But as you can see from the picture, they're only 1716 01:31:08.199 --> 01:31:10.600 putting this out on a BDR. It's a made on 1717 01:31:10.640 --> 01:31:14.520 demand burned disc. It's not gonna be up to par 1718 01:31:14.760 --> 01:31:16.960 with the quality of what you're expecting. It's not gonna 1719 01:31:16.960 --> 01:31:18.680 be a great disc. Decal's doing it so it was 1720 01:31:18.720 --> 01:31:20.880 already not gonna be a great disc. But let's be honest. 1721 01:31:21.520 --> 01:31:24.000 But the bigger thing here is this is being released 1722 01:31:24.039 --> 01:31:26.840 on four K over in the UK and They're giving 1723 01:31:26.880 --> 01:31:31.000 it as much attention as they can, and you're not 1724 01:31:31.079 --> 01:31:32.479 going to get that here in the US. So if 1725 01:31:32.520 --> 01:31:34.800 you want the best release of this, you can check 1726 01:31:34.840 --> 01:31:37.439 that out from the UK. I believe that comes out soon. 1727 01:31:37.479 --> 01:31:39.319 I've got it on pre order because I definitely wanted 1728 01:31:39.319 --> 01:31:42.159 the best release of that one good movie. Recommend it. 1729 01:31:42.239 --> 01:31:44.920 I know it's kind of a divisive film. It's a 1730 01:31:45.399 --> 01:31:47.960 I won't say plotless, but you just kind of have 1731 01:31:48.000 --> 01:31:49.840 to go. It's very much like a journey film. You 1732 01:31:50.159 --> 01:31:52.039 got to go on the journey with this one, for sure. 1733 01:31:53.960 --> 01:31:58.399 All right. Going to our next title, speaking of four K, 1734 01:31:58.560 --> 01:32:01.000 this is a big deal. In fifth we are getting 1735 01:32:01.039 --> 01:32:03.239 a four K and Blu ray dual format released from 1736 01:32:03.319 --> 01:32:08.800 Disney of Alice in Wonderland from nineteen fifty one. This 1737 01:32:09.319 --> 01:32:13.119 is a beautiful movie and it has never looked as 1738 01:32:13.119 --> 01:32:16.159 good as this restoration is about to look. I've got 1739 01:32:16.279 --> 01:32:19.520 linked in the original announcement post of this a restoration 1740 01:32:19.640 --> 01:32:23.239 demonstration that's on YouTube. Open that up later and go 1741 01:32:23.279 --> 01:32:25.439 give it a watch. The way that Disney shows what 1742 01:32:25.439 --> 01:32:28.039 they've done to the animation for this movie, it is 1743 01:32:28.640 --> 01:32:31.479 just striking what this is about to look like on 1744 01:32:31.520 --> 01:32:33.960 four K cannot wait to be able to see this. 1745 01:32:35.479 --> 01:32:36.760 I hope my kids can fall in love with it 1746 01:32:36.800 --> 01:32:39.279 because it looks beautiful. I've always loved this movie. Are 1747 01:32:39.319 --> 01:32:41.600 you a Disney animation or Alice in Wonderland fan? 1748 01:32:42.479 --> 01:32:44.680 You know what, we were never a big Disney household 1749 01:32:44.680 --> 01:32:48.600 growing up, to be honest, And it wasn't you know, 1750 01:32:48.640 --> 01:32:51.800 it wasn't a political or religious or. 1751 01:32:51.720 --> 01:32:52.520 Anything like that. 1752 01:32:52.560 --> 01:32:55.439 We just ye know, it's more Warner Brothers than Disney. 1753 01:32:55.439 --> 01:32:57.800 I didn't even see The Lion King, you know, like 1754 01:32:57.880 --> 01:33:01.640 until I was in college, to be honest. But I mean, 1755 01:33:01.680 --> 01:33:06.199 anytime Disney reaches into the catalog is cause for celebration. 1756 01:33:07.039 --> 01:33:09.560 A great you know, I can go on about that, 1757 01:33:09.720 --> 01:33:14.359 but well, you know, but but no, this looks beautiful. 1758 01:33:15.000 --> 01:33:19.119 We can keep those thoughts locked up on the vault. Yeah, 1759 01:33:19.119 --> 01:33:21.720 this looks great. The only thing I will say, I 1760 01:33:22.159 --> 01:33:25.000 I don't know the best way to say that. Like, 1761 01:33:25.079 --> 01:33:27.399 I don't hate the cover art that they're going with 1762 01:33:27.439 --> 01:33:30.359 on these newer Disney four k's. I do just kind 1763 01:33:30.359 --> 01:33:33.039 of wish we had the original poster art and this 1764 01:33:33.239 --> 01:33:36.840 sort of abstract encapsulation of everything in the film. But 1765 01:33:37.319 --> 01:33:39.760 this is going to be gorgeous. Again, go check out 1766 01:33:39.760 --> 01:33:43.279 the restoration demonstration. At some point it looks just beautiful. 1767 01:33:45.159 --> 01:33:48.880 Next up, man, this is pretty cool.

Yeah, 1792 01:35:12.760 --> 01:35:15.880 and then The Big Clock, which he's also in, but yeah, 1793 01:35:15.880 --> 01:35:16.920 I've not seen this one. 1794 01:35:18.720 --> 01:35:22.560 And yeah, maybe more to your taste. They're doing a 1795 01:35:22.560 --> 01:35:25.960 four K soon of Orgasmo from nineteen ninety seven. This 1796 01:35:26.119 --> 01:35:29.960 is the Trey Parker and Matt Stone film. Any thoughts 1797 01:35:29.960 --> 01:35:31.720 on Orgasmo not? 1798 01:35:31.960 --> 01:35:32.319 You know what. 1799 01:35:32.439 --> 01:35:34.439 I probably saw bits and pieces of it when it 1800 01:35:34.479 --> 01:35:40.199 aired on like late on HBO one night in the nineties. Yeah, 1801 01:35:40.239 --> 01:35:43.039 although I might be in the minority. Maybe Kino will 1802 01:35:43.039 --> 01:35:45.399 do it. If there was ever a four K of 1803 01:35:45.439 --> 01:35:48.439 basketball that I would pick up on day one. 1804 01:35:49.479 --> 01:35:51.600 I have a feeling they're likely going to follow this 1805 01:35:51.760 --> 01:35:56.399 up with basketball here soon. I remember liking Orgasmo quite 1806 01:35:56.399 --> 01:36:00.800 a bit, it being very very nineties cheesy, very Matt 1807 01:36:00.840 --> 01:36:05.760 Parker or sorry, Trey and Matt comedy if that's your 1808 01:36:05.760 --> 01:36:08.680 sort of thing. But it also I mean it led 1809 01:36:08.680 --> 01:36:10.079 to the Book of Mormon. It led to so many 1810 01:36:10.079 --> 01:36:13.800 other things that we see nowadays. So yeah, very keen. 1811 01:36:13.920 --> 01:36:15.920 I hope that they do this four K right, because 1812 01:36:15.960 --> 01:36:18.359 Keino is very hit or miss, especially lately. 1813 01:36:20.079 --> 01:36:20.439 All right. 1814 01:36:21.239 --> 01:36:24.239 Next up, Jury from nineteen seventy three is coming to 1815 01:36:24.279 --> 01:36:27.600 Blu Ray from Keno on June sixteenth. This is a 1816 01:36:27.600 --> 01:36:30.560 new interview with Robbie Benson, who plays Jury in this film. 1817 01:36:30.960 --> 01:36:33.439 We already talked about Westerns. Any thoughts on Robbie Benson 1818 01:36:33.520 --> 01:36:33.960 or Jeurry? 1819 01:36:34.720 --> 01:36:36.359 No, No, not really. 1820 01:36:37.239 --> 01:36:40.520 Nice, same here except I clicked away. Let's go through 1821 01:36:40.560 --> 01:36:44.239 a whole bunch of Kino things. We've got twenty twenty 1822 01:36:44.239 --> 01:36:48.079 four Suburban Fury coming on DVD. This sounds incredible and 1823 01:36:48.119 --> 01:36:50.920 it's only coming on DVD. This is coming on June ninth, 1824 01:36:50.960 --> 01:36:52.520 by the way, So this says it is a gripping 1825 01:36:52.560 --> 01:36:55.199 portrait of Sarah Jane Moore, a single mother from suburban 1826 01:36:55.239 --> 01:36:58.880 San Francisco who in nineteen seventy five attempted to assassinate 1827 01:36:58.880 --> 01:37:02.319 President Gerald four More than a historical retailing, the film 1828 01:37:02.359 --> 01:37:04.560 is an intimate character study and a chilling mirror of 1829 01:37:04.600 --> 01:37:08.479 America's ideological divide. Yeah, this sounds great. I kind of 1830 01:37:08.520 --> 01:37:10.399 feel like I need to see this. I really wish 1831 01:37:10.399 --> 01:37:11.439 it wasn't DVD only. 1832 01:37:12.039 --> 01:37:13.439 I would totally watch this. 1833 01:37:13.439 --> 01:37:15.119 This is something that would probably you know, in a 1834 01:37:15.119 --> 01:37:19.479 few months, might be streaming on Canopy. But I also 1835 01:37:19.520 --> 01:37:23.800 recognized the great Midnight Marauders post artwork being used as well, 1836 01:37:25.399 --> 01:37:27.680 which's great, absine, I would watch this. 1837 01:37:29.319 --> 01:37:32.199 Next up is twenty twenty six is film Fantasy Life, 1838 01:37:32.199 --> 01:37:35.039 getting a DVD only released from Keno on June ninth 1839 01:37:35.039 --> 01:37:38.159 as well, This one with Amanda Pete and it's got 1840 01:37:38.239 --> 01:37:41.239 Judd Hirsh and Bob Balaban in this one. Matthew Shear 1841 01:37:41.319 --> 01:37:43.560 is the other star. I'm sure this is not one 1842 01:37:43.560 --> 01:37:45.680 that you've had a chance to see already this year. 1843 01:37:47.079 --> 01:37:53.520 No, I no, I haven't, but I actually did. This 1844 01:37:53.560 --> 01:37:56.439 is literally coming back to me right now. I don't 1845 01:37:56.479 --> 01:37:58.600 even know if they're being used. I actually worked on 1846 01:37:58.680 --> 01:38:03.960 streaming thumbnails for this movie a year ago, you know, nice, 1847 01:38:04.079 --> 01:38:05.600 and I have no idea if they're being used or not. 1848 01:38:05.640 --> 01:38:08.560 But I'm looking at this still like I've seen this before. 1849 01:38:11.680 --> 01:38:15.000 Yeah, I first off a little side thing. I know 1850 01:38:15.039 --> 01:38:17.159 we talked about like the paradox of the crossing the 1851 01:38:17.199 --> 01:38:20.960 international dateline earlier. It is really weird being contributors and 1852 01:38:21.800 --> 01:38:24.680 working on all these releases and trying to keep track 1853 01:38:24.680 --> 01:38:26.680 of the timeline of when did I work on something 1854 01:38:26.720 --> 01:38:29.359 for this it got announced, when is it coming out? 1855 01:38:29.399 --> 01:38:30.840 Why don't I have it in my hands yet? And 1856 01:38:30.880 --> 01:38:32.880 then you realize I worked on this thing two and 1857 01:38:32.880 --> 01:38:34.840 a half years ago, still hasn't been announced. That's why 1858 01:38:34.840 --> 01:38:37.079 I don't have it yet or something. It's always crazy 1859 01:38:37.119 --> 01:38:43.479 when that happens. All right, go ahead, Scott, Oh. 1860 01:38:43.359 --> 01:38:47.199 No, I was just gonna say, you know, I literally 1861 01:38:47.199 --> 01:38:50.640 still have it all on my external hard drive and yeah, 1862 01:38:50.800 --> 01:38:53.800 whatever the thumbnails I did aren't that, but you know, 1863 01:38:54.199 --> 01:38:56.560 different context and have to be designed differently. 1864 01:38:56.920 --> 01:39:00.800 Yeah, of course. June thirtieth, we're getting a DVD only 1865 01:39:00.840 --> 01:39:04.039 from Keno of Amram from twenty twenty five as well. 1866 01:39:04.119 --> 01:39:07.159 It's a Spring of nineteen forty five film, which means, 1867 01:39:07.159 --> 01:39:10.640 you know, it's got to be about Germany, so yeah, 1868 01:39:10.800 --> 01:39:12.600 check that out if you're into it. There's a trailer 1869 01:39:12.680 --> 01:39:17.520 on the disc as well. Next up is Yes, also 1870 01:39:17.600 --> 01:39:21.640 getting a DVD only release from June ninth. This is 1871 01:39:21.760 --> 01:39:25.319 a one of international cinema's most fearless and provocative filmmakers. 1872 01:39:25.319 --> 01:39:29.720 Supposedly that's Nadav Lapid. Never heard of him, so if 1873 01:39:29.720 --> 01:39:32.000 he's one of the most fearless and provocative, he probably 1874 01:39:32.000 --> 01:39:35.000 needs better marketing. Check out Yes on TVD on June 1875 01:39:35.039 --> 01:39:39.199 ninth if you're into that from Keno. Next up last 1876 01:39:39.279 --> 01:39:41.920 year's Kiss of the Spider Woman. Are you Are you 1877 01:39:42.159 --> 01:39:44.039 into musicals? 1878 01:39:45.039 --> 01:39:45.439 I can be. 1879 01:39:45.600 --> 01:39:48.920 I'm against them, you know, I mean, I'll watch them, 1880 01:39:48.960 --> 01:39:52.439 but I don't you know, I don't automatically seek them out, 1881 01:39:52.439 --> 01:39:53.560 but I don't avoid them either. 1882 01:39:54.760 --> 01:39:57.239 Yeah. I saw this one last year. This is coming 1883 01:39:57.239 --> 01:40:00.199 on June thirtieth on four K from Keno. This was 1884 01:40:00.239 --> 01:40:01.880 kind of a shock that they announced this one. Did 1885 01:40:01.920 --> 01:40:04.920 not expect it. This will have Dolby Vision and it 1886 01:40:04.960 --> 01:40:07.680 will have Dolby Atmos audio. We'll have a commentary by 1887 01:40:07.680 --> 01:40:10.880 Bill Condon, the director. Deleted scene and a teaser and trailer. 1888 01:40:11.239 --> 01:40:14.159 Fairly good movie. I thought it was really well acted, 1889 01:40:14.319 --> 01:40:18.359 especially by Diego Luna and Tona Tuya who's also in this. 1890 01:40:19.960 --> 01:40:23.760 Jennifer Lopez taking a leaver not big for me, but 1891 01:40:24.039 --> 01:40:25.800 it was a fairly decent movie. I still have not 1892 01:40:25.840 --> 01:40:27.760 seen the original, so I can't really speak much on 1893 01:40:27.800 --> 01:40:33.279 that next up one that I am dying to see. 1894 01:40:33.319 --> 01:40:37.319 In HD June twenty third, we're getting number fifty, number 1895 01:40:37.399 --> 01:40:40.479 fifty and the Keno cult line already, and that's Hell's Highway, 1896 01:40:40.520 --> 01:40:44.640 The True Story of Highway Safety Films. I cannot wait 1897 01:40:44.680 --> 01:40:46.640 because I feel like this is right up your alley, Scott, 1898 01:40:46.680 --> 01:40:47.880 is this something you're interested in? 1899 01:40:48.359 --> 01:40:48.479 This? 1900 01:40:48.640 --> 01:40:51.960 I would totally I think I just saw this yesterday, 1901 01:40:52.239 --> 01:40:54.279 but yeah, this is definitely something I would check out too. 1902 01:40:56.680 --> 01:40:59.640 So this has the two thousand and three documentary Hell's 1903 01:40:59.680 --> 01:41:01.960 Highway The True Story of Highway Safety Films. But for 1904 01:41:02.039 --> 01:41:04.560 a lot of people, the reason to get this is 1905 01:41:04.880 --> 01:41:10.319 to a company that they also have three three different 1906 01:41:10.399 --> 01:41:13.319 drivers ed films here that have all been restored. They've 1907 01:41:13.319 --> 01:41:16.880 got mechanized death, wheels of tragedy and highways of agony. 1908 01:41:17.960 --> 01:41:20.560 Love that they're doing this the documentary as a commentary 1909 01:41:20.600 --> 01:41:23.159 with writer director Brett Wood. We've got the complete two 1910 01:41:23.199 --> 01:41:27.000 thousand and three pre restoration version, trailers, deleted scenes, lots 1911 01:41:27.039 --> 01:41:30.960 of stuff here. I love that somebody other than AGFA 1912 01:41:31.159 --> 01:41:33.600 is putting time and energy into stuff like this, and 1913 01:41:33.680 --> 01:41:39.920 I've only ever heard complete like adoration for the people 1914 01:41:39.960 --> 01:41:40.760 that love these. 1915 01:41:40.600 --> 01:41:44.880 Things on The Simpsons when Phil Hartman played Troy McClure 1916 01:41:44.960 --> 01:41:48.159 in one of his appearances, was you might remember me 1917 01:41:48.199 --> 01:41:52.600 from such educational videos as Alice's Adventures through the Windshield Glass. 1918 01:41:52.880 --> 01:41:55.119 Yep, that was one of them. 1919 01:41:55.640 --> 01:41:58.720 Absolutely perfect. Yeah, cannot wait to get this. This sounds 1920 01:41:59.000 --> 01:42:02.119 very exciting. Glad it's coming out June twenty third Blu 1921 01:42:02.239 --> 01:42:05.600 Ray and then the next one June thirtieth. We are 1922 01:42:05.600 --> 01:42:08.359 getting number fifty one in the Keno cult line. And 1923 01:42:08.439 --> 01:42:14.039 this is nineteen eighty nine's Matinee. No, not Joe Dante's Mattinee. 1924 01:42:14.079 --> 01:42:17.000 This one is very interesting. I don't believe this has 1925 01:42:17.039 --> 01:42:20.239 had any release in the US, let alone HD or 1926 01:42:20.279 --> 01:42:22.960 anything like that. This is a nineteen eighty nine meta 1927 01:42:23.000 --> 01:42:25.560 slasher on the tradition of Fade to Black and popcorn. 1928 01:42:25.840 --> 01:42:28.600 Mattinee opens with a savage stabbing at a small town cinema, 1929 01:42:28.640 --> 01:42:31.359 forcing its closure. After two years, the case has gone 1930 01:42:31.399 --> 01:42:34.119 cold and the Paramount Theater is allowed to reopen, but 1931 01:42:34.159 --> 01:42:36.640 as the lights go down, tensions rise and the Houston 1932 01:42:36.760 --> 01:42:40.520 Horror Film Festival once again becomes a deranged Killers cinematic 1933 01:42:40.720 --> 01:42:44.000 stocking ground. Let's have an audio commentary by Jason Bachonsky 1934 01:42:44.039 --> 01:42:47.920 and Paul Carupe, which means it's a connexploitation film. Very 1935 01:42:47.920 --> 01:42:50.680 eager to see this one. Love that they're doing this. 1936 01:42:50.760 --> 01:42:52.880 We've got Don S. Davis from Twin Peaks in this. 1937 01:42:53.600 --> 01:42:57.239 We've got William B. Davis from X Files, he played 1938 01:42:57.359 --> 01:43:01.079 the smoking Man. Yeah, die to see this. This sounds 1939 01:43:01.119 --> 01:43:06.960 pretty dang fun. Next up, a name you will recognize, 1940 01:43:07.039 --> 01:43:10.920 Rugierio Dia Dado's Waves of Lust from nineteen seventy five 1941 01:43:10.960 --> 01:43:14.079 gets its first Blu ray release from Rarero Video on 1942 01:43:14.199 --> 01:43:20.079 June sixteenth. This will have an audio commentary by Adrian 1943 01:43:20.119 --> 01:43:22.680 Smith and Rod Barnett, deleted scenes making of doc called 1944 01:43:22.760 --> 01:43:26.319 Irotic Tsunami, and TV commercials directed buying commented on by 1945 01:43:26.399 --> 01:43:29.199 Rugerio Diadado. Are you a Dia Dado fan at all? 1946 01:43:31.239 --> 01:43:34.920 It's again also a big gap in my movie going. 1947 01:43:35.079 --> 01:43:38.399 But I've but I've actually been doing the layout for 1948 01:43:38.439 --> 01:43:40.640 all the RaRo titles, so this is actually one of mine. 1949 01:43:41.159 --> 01:43:41.760 Oh wow. 1950 01:43:42.079 --> 01:43:44.159 I just will say the image was very low res 1951 01:43:44.199 --> 01:43:47.560 and required a lot of work, and the title I 1952 01:43:47.600 --> 01:43:51.039 always try to match the original font when I can. 1953 01:43:51.720 --> 01:43:53.560 But the yeah, this one's one of mine. They're all 1954 01:43:53.600 --> 01:43:55.720 pretty I actually just got a new RaRo title today 1955 01:43:55.720 --> 01:43:58.600 to work on. But yeah, they're all pretty simple. They 1956 01:43:58.720 --> 01:44:05.159 kind of come in on a semi regular basis, I bet. Yeah, 1957 01:44:05.159 --> 01:44:08.359 a lot of most of the titles though, were again 1958 01:44:08.520 --> 01:44:11.399 just another but again it's i'll watch it one days, 1959 01:44:11.600 --> 01:44:12.319 it'll be new to me. 1960 01:44:13.119 --> 01:44:16.520 Yeah, I got to ask, and maybe you don't want 1961 01:44:16.560 --> 01:44:17.640 to say publicly. 1962 01:44:18.600 --> 01:44:18.880 They do. 1963 01:44:18.960 --> 01:44:21.079 They give you contributor copies when you do layout for 1964 01:44:21.119 --> 01:44:22.720 something like this for Keto and Rero. 1965 01:44:24.319 --> 01:44:27.560 I haven't gotten any of these. Some labels do, some don't. 1966 01:44:28.560 --> 01:44:33.199 I don't complain, you know, it is what it is 1967 01:44:33.279 --> 01:44:35.039 that No, I haven't received any of these. 1968 01:44:35.119 --> 01:44:40.119 Actually understandable. I wish they would all right. Next up 1969 01:44:40.119 --> 01:44:43.119 from Cohen Media Group Eagles of the Republic from twenty 1970 01:44:43.159 --> 01:44:45.520 twenty five, getting a Blu ray on June twenty third. 1971 01:44:46.159 --> 01:44:50.680 This says Egypt's most adored actor, George Fami is pressured 1972 01:44:50.720 --> 01:44:53.000 to star in a film commission by the highest authorities. 1973 01:44:53.159 --> 01:44:55.600 He reluctantly accepts the role and finds himself thrown in 1974 01:44:55.680 --> 01:44:58.039 the inner circle of power like a moth. Drawn to 1975 01:44:58.039 --> 01:44:59.920 the flame, he begins an affair with the mysterious why 1976 01:45:00.119 --> 01:45:03.239 for the general overseeing the film Cohen Media Group. For 1977 01:45:03.279 --> 01:45:06.079 those that have never checked out anything from them, quite often, 1978 01:45:06.359 --> 01:45:09.680 they're they're pretty great. They kind of quietly just release 1979 01:45:09.800 --> 01:45:13.560 a lot of really good movies. I am always pretty impressed. 1980 01:45:14.239 --> 01:45:18.119 This one sounds kind of interesting. Definitely an international film 1981 01:45:18.119 --> 01:45:19.399 I'd love to see. 1982 01:45:19.560 --> 01:45:21.920 I did a couple posters for Cohen actually a couple 1983 01:45:22.159 --> 01:45:25.840 years ago, but I think one they didn't use, and 1984 01:45:25.880 --> 01:45:29.159 then the other I sent them my files, and you know, 1985 01:45:29.159 --> 01:45:31.079 they were great to work with, but I don't know 1986 01:45:31.079 --> 01:45:32.000 what happened with the movie. 1987 01:45:32.039 --> 01:45:33.239 And then I'm in Barnes and. 1988 01:45:33.159 --> 01:45:35.319 Noble one day and it's like, oh, there it is, 1989 01:45:36.239 --> 01:45:41.000 so you know, both international shelms. But you know, like 1990 01:45:41.039 --> 01:45:42.960 you said, you know, sometimes these things take a while 1991 01:45:43.079 --> 01:45:45.159 or they just disappear and then suddenly reappear. 1992 01:45:45.880 --> 01:45:50.600 Yeah, completely agreed there. Then next Cohen Media putting out 1993 01:45:50.600 --> 01:45:54.359 their second four K and this is the film Maurice 1994 01:45:54.439 --> 01:45:58.720 from nineteen eighty seven. This is another merchant Ivory film. 1995 01:45:58.760 --> 01:46:01.800 It's got an audio commentary by Wade Major and Joseph Bristow, 1996 01:46:02.039 --> 01:46:06.079 Distinguished Professor of English from UCLA. This is also going 1997 01:46:06.119 --> 01:46:08.880 to have James Ivory and Pierre Lom on the making 1998 01:46:08.920 --> 01:46:10.640 of Maurice, Q and A with James Ivory and Pierre 1999 01:46:10.640 --> 01:46:12.880 lom We got a conversation between James Ivory and the 2000 01:46:12.920 --> 01:46:16.439 director Tom McCarthy, story of Maurice, conversation with the filmmakers, 2001 01:46:17.039 --> 01:46:19.479 all kinds of stuff on here. I've not seen this one. 2002 01:46:19.520 --> 01:46:22.520 It's a James Wilby and Hugh Grant starred films. I've 2003 01:46:22.520 --> 01:46:24.479 heard this is beautiful. Have you seen this one? 2004 01:46:24.800 --> 01:46:25.439 No, I haven't. 2005 01:46:26.720 --> 01:46:28.439 I need to see it. From what I hear it, it 2006 01:46:28.439 --> 01:46:32.960 will look amazing in four K. This one another one 2007 01:46:33.000 --> 01:46:36.119 I'm dying to see. Milestone on June sixteenth, releasing Queen 2008 01:46:36.239 --> 01:46:39.760 Kelly from nineteen twenty nine. Now, this one is a 2009 01:46:39.800 --> 01:46:43.800 fascinating till because this was commissioned for nineteen twenty nine, 2010 01:46:43.880 --> 01:46:47.640 and I am dying to see this one because while 2011 01:46:47.640 --> 01:46:49.840 it was commissioned for nineteen twenty nine, it was never 2012 01:46:49.960 --> 01:46:54.199 finished and then later on it has been reconstructed, and 2013 01:46:54.279 --> 01:46:58.199 the whole story of that just sounds fascinating. Technically, I 2014 01:46:58.239 --> 01:47:02.079 believe it is nineteen twenty nine, but also a nineteen 2015 01:47:02.159 --> 01:47:07.279 thirty two film because of how they had to rebuild 2016 01:47:07.359 --> 01:47:09.760 everything essentially after they weren't able to do the ending 2017 01:47:09.800 --> 01:47:12.359 on this one. There's multiple audio comment or sorry, one 2018 01:47:12.399 --> 01:47:14.600 audio commentary on here. Audio clips from a couple of 2019 01:47:14.600 --> 01:47:17.520 people involved with it. Outtakes, with optional commentary by the 2020 01:47:17.520 --> 01:47:20.279 film history in Richard Kazarski, and then an intro by 2021 01:47:20.319 --> 01:47:22.920 Glorious Swanson. Do you know anything about Queen Kelly? 2022 01:47:23.640 --> 01:47:24.359 No, I don't. 2023 01:47:25.159 --> 01:47:29.720 I've actually worked on a couple of Milestone titles for Keino, 2024 01:47:30.039 --> 01:47:33.760 not this one, but yeah, I am not familiar. 2025 01:47:34.159 --> 01:47:37.199 I am big in this art nouveau style artwork. 2026 01:47:37.039 --> 01:47:40.840 Though, Yeah, very classic type of poster. What titles have 2027 01:47:40.880 --> 01:47:42.520 you worked on for Milestone? They do a lot of 2028 01:47:42.560 --> 01:47:43.279 really good stuff. 2029 01:47:44.399 --> 01:47:48.039 Well, I just did not. Oh, the double feature of 2030 01:47:48.119 --> 01:47:49.159 Grass and Chang. 2031 01:47:49.920 --> 01:47:51.720 That's when I had my eyes on Nice. 2032 01:47:51.840 --> 01:47:53.800 Worked on that one, and I think I only did 2033 01:47:53.800 --> 01:48:01.079 one more South, a documentary about the Shackleton Expedition. Yeah, okay, 2034 01:48:01.079 --> 01:48:03.039 it looks like those are the only two for now. 2035 01:48:03.960 --> 01:48:07.960 That makes sense. To go on from merchant Ivory in 2036 01:48:08.039 --> 01:48:11.720 nineteen twenty nine to the cinematic classic of Leprechaun from 2037 01:48:11.800 --> 01:48:13.920 nineteen ninety two or three depending on where you saw it. 2038 01:48:14.680 --> 01:48:17.199 Lionsgate Limited is putting out a replacement disc for the 2039 01:48:17.199 --> 01:48:21.359 four K, now that in itself is not super uncommon, 2040 01:48:21.399 --> 01:48:24.960 but really just wanted to highlight the saga of what 2041 01:48:25.039 --> 01:48:28.079 happened on this replacement disc. We had some people complain 2042 01:48:28.359 --> 01:48:30.680 that a lot of the tinting in the film on 2043 01:48:30.720 --> 01:48:34.840 their four K release was bad, just playing yellow. Jennifer 2044 01:48:34.880 --> 01:48:37.960 Aniston supposedly looked very jaundiced. I didn't purchase this, so 2045 01:48:38.119 --> 01:48:42.239 I have not seen the disc, But Lionsgate updated their 2046 01:48:42.319 --> 01:48:45.880 listing for that and said, well, this was approved by 2047 01:48:45.920 --> 01:48:49.079 the director late last fall, and of course if you 2048 01:48:49.079 --> 01:48:52.239 pay attention to this, Mark Jones, the director passed away 2049 01:48:52.399 --> 01:48:54.560 just a few months ago, so there was no way 2050 01:48:54.560 --> 01:48:57.359 that we could argue with that because Mark is now gone. 2051 01:48:57.880 --> 01:49:00.560 And then after a lot more feedback, they came back 2052 01:49:00.560 --> 01:49:03.279 and said, Okay, it's actually wrong. Now we're going to 2053 01:49:03.279 --> 01:49:06.800 do a replacement disk. So just kind of a weird, 2054 01:49:06.920 --> 01:49:10.439 messed up situation to essentially blame a dead guy for 2055 01:49:10.520 --> 01:49:13.439 a mistake and then go back on it. They are 2056 01:49:13.479 --> 01:49:15.720 sending it automatically for everybody. You don't need to worry 2057 01:49:15.760 --> 01:49:18.720 about ordering a replacement disk because it was a side exclusive. 2058 01:49:18.760 --> 01:49:20.800 They know everybody that bought it, So just keep an 2059 01:49:20.840 --> 01:49:23.119 eye on your mailbox. There will be one coming. Are 2060 01:49:23.119 --> 01:49:24.600 you Are you a big Leprechaun fan? 2061 01:49:26.279 --> 01:49:31.600 I haven't watched them yet. One day when it's fixed. 2062 01:49:32.800 --> 01:49:34.880 How do you feel, I'm just as an art designer. 2063 01:49:34.920 --> 01:49:36.800 How do you feel about this cover? Do you see 2064 01:49:36.800 --> 01:49:39.119 what they were going for here? Because the Leprechaun's behind it, 2065 01:49:39.159 --> 01:49:42.319 and the coins is meant to look like a face smiling, 2066 01:49:42.800 --> 01:49:45.439 and it's not like unless you squint and close one eye, 2067 01:49:46.000 --> 01:49:47.560 it's kind of rough to even see the shape of 2068 01:49:47.560 --> 01:49:47.960 the face. 2069 01:49:48.520 --> 01:49:52.479 I mean, I see it right, I mean it's even 2070 01:49:52.479 --> 01:49:55.159 actually more prominent in the smaller thumbnail than the corner 2071 01:49:55.199 --> 01:49:55.760 of the screen. 2072 01:50:00.039 --> 01:50:01.560 You know. I never want to bad mouth you know, 2073 01:50:01.640 --> 01:50:02.359 I mean I don't. 2074 01:50:02.640 --> 01:50:06.439 It's fine. And again I haven't seen the film. I'm 2075 01:50:06.439 --> 01:50:09.720 always more of a stickler. I always try to avoid 2076 01:50:09.800 --> 01:50:12.840 drop shadows when I can, so seeing the shadow with 2077 01:50:13.319 --> 01:50:15.800 like under the title, it's like that's something that always 2078 01:50:15.880 --> 01:50:21.359 gets me. Not specific here, but. 2079 01:50:19.560 --> 01:50:23.000 No, I get I see what they were doing. You know. 2080 01:50:23.039 --> 01:50:24.960 It's also the kind of thing where someone might say, oh, 2081 01:50:25.000 --> 01:50:29.640 it's not obvious enough, you know, keep going and then 2082 01:50:30.319 --> 01:50:34.039 pull back and again, no offense to anyone, you know, 2083 01:50:34.079 --> 01:50:40.640 I like it, but yeah, it's you know, but you 2084 01:50:40.640 --> 01:50:42.680 you know, fans of the film would probably have a better, 2085 01:50:43.479 --> 01:50:45.359 better thoughts or an opinion. 2086 01:50:45.439 --> 01:50:48.359 I'm that, yeah, and I agree with you. Like when 2087 01:50:48.359 --> 01:50:50.199 I look down the corner of my screen for what 2088 01:50:50.239 --> 01:50:53.359 I'm sharing, it does look like it looks like a mask, genuinely, 2089 01:50:53.399 --> 01:50:56.119 But when it's just big in the screen like that 2090 01:50:56.239 --> 01:50:58.560 and you see the whole thing, good gosh, it's not 2091 01:50:58.640 --> 01:50:59.760 super apparent anyways. 2092 01:51:00.319 --> 01:51:02.760 But I also get and this isn't specific to this, 2093 01:51:04.920 --> 01:51:07.039 you know, it's like too many gags in one image. 2094 01:51:07.199 --> 01:51:10.039 So you have the coins in the foreground making a 2095 01:51:10.119 --> 01:51:14.079 leprechaun face, but then you have the character in the background, 2096 01:51:14.319 --> 01:51:17.239 and I'm wondering if at some point someone asked, is 2097 01:51:17.279 --> 01:51:17.960 that too much? 2098 01:51:18.119 --> 01:51:18.800 Is it like a joke? 2099 01:51:19.680 --> 01:51:21.920 Like a joke on a joke almost? And can we 2100 01:51:21.920 --> 01:51:25.600 get away with just one thing instead of both? Since 2101 01:51:25.640 --> 01:51:28.920 that's something I always deal with, like, well, we have 2102 01:51:29.000 --> 01:51:30.720 the skimni key here and this, you know, just when 2103 01:51:30.800 --> 01:51:33.560 doesn't become too much? And you know, where does the 2104 01:51:33.680 --> 01:51:34.680 person's attention go? 2105 01:51:34.920 --> 01:51:38.119 And all that The big thing is Lion's Gate is 2106 01:51:38.119 --> 01:51:40.760 big on their gimmicks, and this is the slip cover 2107 01:51:40.880 --> 01:51:42.920 for the steel book, so you slip off the gold 2108 01:51:43.039 --> 01:51:45.600 and the Leprechaun behind it is left on the steel book. 2109 01:51:45.680 --> 01:51:48.159 So I mean, I mean, I would love to work 2110 01:51:48.239 --> 01:51:50.319 for lion you know, designed for lions Gate at some 2111 01:51:50.399 --> 01:51:55.079 point too. But having actually now hearing having you said that, 2112 01:51:55.600 --> 01:51:58.319 hearing you say that, it's like, Okay, I get it, 2113 01:51:58.520 --> 01:51:59.560 you know, I get what. 2114 01:51:59.520 --> 01:52:03.840 They were going for. Oh yeah, next up, not really 2115 01:52:03.880 --> 01:52:07.479 my thing, but Sailor Moon Crystal Collection is coming out 2116 01:52:07.479 --> 01:52:10.439 on June ninth on Blu Ray. Now, as far as 2117 01:52:10.479 --> 01:52:12.800 I'm aware, this is not the complete collection because it 2118 01:52:12.800 --> 01:52:15.439 doesn't have I think the movies if I'm remembering right, 2119 01:52:15.560 --> 01:52:17.600 I don't know much about Sailor Moon. Are you a 2120 01:52:17.640 --> 01:52:18.800 diehard Sailor Moon fan? 2121 01:52:19.359 --> 01:52:21.159 The girl I had a crush on in high school? 2122 01:52:21.199 --> 01:52:28.319 Wise, full circle, Glad that you had that experience.

We go into a 2139 01:53:17.880 --> 01:53:23.079 lot about like the the therapeutic sides of physical media 2140 01:53:23.119 --> 01:53:25.560 and collecting and finding a community in this sort of thing, 2141 01:53:25.600 --> 01:53:29.479 which is why I am really kind of doing everything 2142 01:53:29.520 --> 01:53:31.199 that I'm doing. So check this out if it's something 2143 01:53:31.239 --> 01:53:34.119 that you'd like to hear about. Laurent is incredible, and 2144 01:53:34.279 --> 01:53:37.920 his work with like tracking down films to take them 2145 01:53:37.960 --> 01:53:41.239 to literally the top portions of the government in Germany 2146 01:53:41.239 --> 01:53:43.199 to petition them to be able to play in Germany 2147 01:53:43.760 --> 01:53:45.760 is to be commended far more than I can ever 2148 01:53:45.760 --> 01:53:47.680 give him credit for but check it out. It's a 2149 01:53:47.680 --> 01:53:50.479 great issue. I said issue again talking about a magazine. 2150 01:53:50.479 --> 01:53:54.920 It's an episode. It's fantastic. Will Go USA is putting 2151 01:53:54.920 --> 01:53:57.079 out a film called The Ugly from last year on 2152 01:53:57.079 --> 01:53:59.920 May twenty sixth on Blu Ray DVD, and I've heard this. 2153 01:54:00.000 --> 01:54:02.520 This is rather good. I'm dying to see this one. 2154 01:54:03.159 --> 01:54:06.159 This has a trailer on there and it says from 2155 01:54:06.239 --> 01:54:08.840 director Yong Saying Ho, who also did Train to Busan 2156 01:54:09.159 --> 01:54:12.319 comes a story of generational grief and guilt. While overseeing 2157 01:54:12.359 --> 01:54:15.159 a documentary crew filming his blind father at work in 2158 01:54:15.359 --> 01:54:18.239 Don Juan gets a phone call that is missing mother's 2159 01:54:18.279 --> 01:54:21.319 remains have been found after forty years. Determined to find 2160 01:54:21.319 --> 01:54:24.119 the truth of her disappearance, Don Juan embarks on a 2161 01:54:24.199 --> 01:54:28.119 twisted odyssey through his family's traumatic past, uncovering dark secrets 2162 01:54:28.199 --> 01:54:31.680 along the way. Are you are you paying attention to 2163 01:54:31.720 --> 01:54:33.560 any modern Asian films like this? 2164 01:54:33.920 --> 01:54:37.640 I'm not really I am digging this cover art though, 2165 01:54:37.680 --> 01:54:41.520 like that's the kind of stark minimalism that I strive for. 2166 01:54:43.479 --> 01:54:44.159 I must confess. 2167 01:54:44.199 --> 01:54:49.239 I'm really not, though understandable completely get it. I need 2168 01:54:49.279 --> 01:54:50.920 to see this. I really love Training to Bussan. Did 2169 01:54:50.960 --> 01:54:51.680 you ever see that one? 2170 01:54:52.800 --> 01:54:53.560 I still haven't. 2171 01:54:53.640 --> 01:54:56.840 I'm sorry, got to check it out. It's pretty great, 2172 01:54:58.760 --> 01:55:03.000 all right. The weekend we got new releases from Air 2173 01:55:03.159 --> 01:55:06.560 forty four forty four.

Have you checked out anything from Air forty four. 2191 01:56:00.079 --> 01:56:02.640 I haven't, although every time they make an announcement, it's 2192 01:56:02.720 --> 01:56:05.079 just God. I want to work for these people when 2193 01:56:05.159 --> 01:56:08.479 they design something. I mean, I can't do this, but 2194 01:56:10.079 --> 01:56:11.640 you know, I'm sure I could be of service to them. 2195 01:56:11.760 --> 01:56:14.319 But yeah, I'm always whenever I do a shameless self 2196 01:56:14.359 --> 01:56:17.479 promotion post on social media, which I hate doing, I 2197 01:56:17.520 --> 01:56:19.640 always try to tag them. 2198 01:56:20.479 --> 01:56:25.399 Yeah, I can try to nudge them towards you. They 2199 01:56:25.439 --> 01:56:28.960 are great people. I really appreciate what they're doing. And 2200 01:56:29.000 --> 01:56:31.119 speaking of that, this next one also is in line 2201 01:56:31.119 --> 01:56:34.039 with that Kung Fu Student from nineteen eighty nine. This 2202 01:56:34.079 --> 01:56:40.159 one looks just crazy. I believe this is the first 2203 01:56:40.239 --> 01:56:43.880 time any of these directors' films have been on Blu 2204 01:56:44.000 --> 01:56:46.760 Ray anywhere in the world. If I think I'm right 2205 01:56:46.800 --> 01:56:49.000 on that, I need to look it up again. But 2206 01:56:49.079 --> 01:56:51.159 this is about a down under luck college student with 2207 01:56:51.239 --> 01:56:54.159 dreams of becoming a as bad ass as Arlod Schwarzenegger 2208 01:56:54.159 --> 01:56:57.479 and the Terminator or Servester Stallone and Rambo. Soon, her 2209 01:56:57.479 --> 01:56:59.920 life takes a turn when she inadvertently blocks the reenc 2210 01:57:00.159 --> 01:57:03.760 nation attempt of a ghostly gangster. Taiwanese action star Alexander 2211 01:57:03.800 --> 01:57:06.800 low Ray is that gangster. Now stuck together, they must 2212 01:57:06.880 --> 01:57:08.520 learn to work as one to kick ass and get 2213 01:57:08.560 --> 01:57:11.720 revenge on the gang members who murdered him. This is 2214 01:57:11.760 --> 01:57:14.920 a Taiwanese action comedy gem. This will have a new 2215 01:57:14.960 --> 01:57:17.399 two K restoration, new interview with the actress from it, 2216 01:57:17.600 --> 01:57:20.159 new visual essay by a friend of the show, Michelle Kisner. 2217 01:57:20.359 --> 01:57:23.800 The audio commentary with Justin d'clue and Dylan Chung. We 2218 01:57:23.880 --> 01:57:26.840 got Mandarin, audio, English and Chinese subtitles on this one. 2219 01:57:26.960 --> 01:57:29.319 A double sided slipcover, a book with an essay by 2220 01:57:29.319 --> 01:57:33.119 doctor Mighe Ronsley, three stickers with new art by Michael Deforge. 2221 01:57:33.439 --> 01:57:37.680 And yeah, this looks really fun. I'm very curious to 2222 01:57:37.680 --> 01:57:40.640 see this one. The art on here is going to 2223 01:57:40.680 --> 01:57:43.680 be divisive. I can just tell right now a lot 2224 01:57:43.720 --> 01:57:46.399 of people don't like that style. It looks fun. I'm 2225 01:57:46.399 --> 01:57:48.760 into it. 2226 01:57:48.760 --> 01:57:50.640 It's definitely the kind of release where. 2227 01:57:52.840 --> 01:57:54.479 You know, if I got a title like this from 2228 01:57:54.560 --> 01:57:58.039 Arrow to work on where the essay, you know, reading 2229 01:57:58.039 --> 01:58:02.079 the essays like is an educationational experience because you know, 2230 01:58:02.119 --> 01:58:03.720 because a lot of it. You know, a lot of 2231 01:58:03.760 --> 01:58:07.960 gaps in my film watching experience, so you know when 2232 01:58:07.960 --> 01:58:10.279 I get you know, like certain Asian titles for instance, 2233 01:58:10.319 --> 01:58:14.960 from Arrow, you know, I devour those essays just as 2234 01:58:14.960 --> 01:58:17.079 a perspective fan, you know, you learn something. 2235 01:58:18.439 --> 01:58:20.359 Of course, I am all about it. 2236 01:58:21.359 --> 01:58:21.560 God. 2237 01:58:21.640 --> 01:58:24.359 Yeah, we probably could just gone over like favorite booklets 2238 01:58:24.359 --> 01:58:26.279 instead of audio commentaries, but maybe next time. 2239 01:58:26.720 --> 01:58:29.399 Well, my I will say real quick, my favorite one 2240 01:58:29.439 --> 01:58:31.920 of my favorite essays for that I've done with Arrow 2241 01:58:32.079 --> 01:58:35.000 is for Warning from Space. There's an essay in that 2242 01:58:35.039 --> 01:58:38.359 booklet about the dubbing process, which is just the kind 2243 01:58:38.399 --> 01:58:42.119 of degree that I'm into. Like, that's still I mean 2244 01:58:42.279 --> 01:58:43.960 that one came out like five years ago and it's 2245 01:58:44.000 --> 01:58:46.399 still when I talk about, like, you know, we need 2246 01:58:46.439 --> 01:58:47.479 to strive for this. 2247 01:58:48.479 --> 01:58:51.840 Absolutely all right, I said I was gonna be talking 2248 01:58:51.840 --> 01:58:56.680 about Beth Morris again. This is the official reveal of 2249 01:58:56.800 --> 01:59:00.399 a Beth Morris design poster for Antenna. This is our film, 2250 01:59:00.439 --> 01:59:02.800 The Man Whom the Trees Loved. It is going to 2251 01:59:02.800 --> 01:59:04.760 be premiering at the Florida Film Festival here in the 2252 01:59:04.760 --> 01:59:08.000 next couple of weeks. The trailer was just revealed on 2253 01:59:08.039 --> 01:59:10.479 YouTube as well. I'm gonna pull that up and play 2254 01:59:10.479 --> 01:59:12.560 that as part of the show later on tonight, because 2255 01:59:12.640 --> 01:59:14.640 I think more people should see it. It is a 2256 01:59:14.720 --> 01:59:18.479 really great trailer. Beth crushed it with this cover. I 2257 01:59:18.520 --> 01:59:20.760 am so stoked on this. For those that have not 2258 01:59:21.119 --> 01:59:23.600 heard me talk about this before, this is based on 2259 01:59:23.640 --> 01:59:26.000 the Algren On Blackwood short story called The Man Whom 2260 01:59:26.039 --> 01:59:28.960 the Trees Loved And with the design, we really wanted 2261 01:59:28.960 --> 01:59:30.840 this to look like it was popping off of a 2262 01:59:30.920 --> 01:59:33.399 page of a book, so the border of it is 2263 01:59:33.439 --> 01:59:35.920 meant to look like it's actually from a novel. It 2264 01:59:36.039 --> 01:59:39.039 is such a really great design, and when you see 2265 01:59:39.039 --> 01:59:41.399 the trailer, hopefully you get the feeling that the film 2266 01:59:41.479 --> 01:59:43.079 is really trying to capture a little bit more. 2267 01:59:43.560 --> 01:59:43.640 So. 2268 01:59:43.720 --> 01:59:45.439 Yeah, I'll show that trailer in a little bit, but 2269 01:59:45.479 --> 01:59:48.479 if you're in Florida, please consider going to see the premiere. 2270 01:59:48.479 --> 01:59:51.920 It looks like a great time. I don't want to 2271 01:59:52.279 --> 01:59:54.439 put you on the spot, but any thoughts on this 2272 01:59:54.439 --> 01:59:56.199 Beth Morris poster. I'd love to hear what you think. 2273 01:59:56.800 --> 01:59:57.399 I like it. 2274 01:59:57.800 --> 02:00:02.039 I you know when I saw you know, because you 2275 02:00:02.039 --> 02:00:04.720 know you hired me to do a poster that you 2276 02:00:04.720 --> 02:00:07.640 know we're not doing that documentary. You know, it's kind 2277 02:00:07.640 --> 02:00:09.600 of wondering, you know, what's going to be first out 2278 02:00:09.600 --> 02:00:11.399 of the gate, so to speak. And you know it's 2279 02:00:11.439 --> 02:00:15.720 always nice when always nice to see it, you know, friend, 2280 02:00:15.760 --> 02:00:18.720 get you know the gig and no, that does good work. 2281 02:00:19.920 --> 02:00:24.920 I agree, she does just excellent work. Next, this is 2282 02:00:24.960 --> 02:00:28.079 another one of those frustrating situations. Warner Brothers at some 2283 02:00:28.239 --> 02:00:31.399 point this year is releasing Mars Attacks on four K. 2284 02:00:32.239 --> 02:00:34.760 You're expected if you really want this to pre order 2285 02:00:34.840 --> 02:00:36.920 the steel book even though there's no art. You can 2286 02:00:36.960 --> 02:00:39.199 pre order a collector's edition from the UK, even though 2287 02:00:39.199 --> 02:00:41.920 there's no art and no thoughts on special features. Who 2288 02:00:41.960 --> 02:00:45.119 knows what it's going to have with it, but check 2289 02:00:45.159 --> 02:00:47.239 it out if you want to spend anywhere from fifty 2290 02:00:47.279 --> 02:00:51.399 to seventy dollars on a collector's edition. I'm sure that 2291 02:00:51.439 --> 02:00:53.119 you feel the same as me. Any thoughts on why 2292 02:00:53.159 --> 02:00:55.079 they wouldn't release art super soon. 2293 02:00:55.439 --> 02:00:56.079 Well I assume. 2294 02:00:56.439 --> 02:00:58.319 I mean they've been doing this, you know, for the 2295 02:00:58.399 --> 02:01:02.640 last year, just with this Placehold art and with Warner Brothers, 2296 02:01:03.920 --> 02:01:06.319 you know, artwork wise, it could go either way, to 2297 02:01:06.359 --> 02:01:11.079 be honest, but I'm just genuinely surprised they're doing this 2298 02:01:11.159 --> 02:01:14.640 themselves instead of licensing it to Arrow so I can 2299 02:01:14.680 --> 02:01:17.880 work on it. But it's and it's definitely I'm a 2300 02:01:17.920 --> 02:01:21.199 huge Burton fan, but it's definitely a movie I wish 2301 02:01:21.279 --> 02:01:23.760 I liked more than I do. 2302 02:01:24.920 --> 02:01:26.319 I just wish we were able to get a four 2303 02:01:26.359 --> 02:01:31.399 kividwood instead, but that will likely never happen, all right. 2304 02:01:31.680 --> 02:01:35.800 Next up, Unearthed Films on July fourteenth is releasing Tetsuo 2305 02:01:35.960 --> 02:01:39.359 the Bullet Man, not Tetsuoo the Iron Man. This I 2306 02:01:39.399 --> 02:01:43.119 believe is the third film in the Tetsuo saga. This 2307 02:01:43.199 --> 02:01:45.640 is the first English friendly Blu Ray release of this, 2308 02:01:45.720 --> 02:01:48.159 I believe. We got an audio commentary on here with 2309 02:01:48.199 --> 02:01:50.920 the actor Eric Bossik and Japanese cinema expert Tom mess 2310 02:01:51.239 --> 02:01:54.239 We got a multi material version of Tetsweel the Bullet Man, 2311 02:01:54.359 --> 02:01:57.920 photo gallery and trailers. You have you ever seen Tetsweel 2312 02:01:57.920 --> 02:01:58.439 the Iron Man? 2313 02:02:00.560 --> 02:02:00.640 No? 2314 02:02:01.439 --> 02:02:05.039 I have not understandable. I think a lot of people 2315 02:02:05.039 --> 02:02:08.960 have not seen it. Totally fine. Next up is a 2316 02:02:09.640 --> 02:02:12.840 Xiangya Mao film that is Red Sorghum coming to Blue 2317 02:02:12.840 --> 02:02:17.159 Fray Blu Ray from Media OCD Officials Whole Grain Pictures Line. 2318 02:02:17.279 --> 02:02:19.119 This is from nineteen eighty eight. This is the gong 2319 02:02:19.239 --> 02:02:21.960 Lee film. This will have a visual essay by Jonathan 2320 02:02:22.000 --> 02:02:25.359 Clement's interview with Tony Rains and a trailer. I still 2321 02:02:25.359 --> 02:02:28.800 think it's quite odd that they are releasing this. I 2322 02:02:29.119 --> 02:02:33.880 really expected somebody like Criterion or even like a Cohen 2323 02:02:34.000 --> 02:02:37.439 Media to pick up the Jenga Mao films in the US. 2324 02:02:37.479 --> 02:02:42.000 But yeah, I'm I'm just looking at the artwork and 2325 02:02:42.800 --> 02:02:46.239 again might drop shadows my pet pee for some reason. 2326 02:02:46.239 --> 02:02:48.439 And it looks like a screenshot. And as someone who 2327 02:02:49.159 --> 02:02:51.640 does this a lot, often you only have screenshots to 2328 02:02:51.680 --> 02:02:54.399 work with, so it's always a case of, you know, 2329 02:02:54.800 --> 02:02:57.000 making it look good and what can you add to it? 2330 02:02:57.079 --> 02:02:59.319 And I mean, I think this one looks fine, but 2331 02:02:59.760 --> 02:03:02.199 you know that's always you know, the work I do 2332 02:03:02.279 --> 02:03:06.439 for shameless films. That's often the challenges here, the pin 2333 02:03:06.479 --> 02:03:11.680 ADP screenshots go and do the mis you can, just 2334 02:03:11.720 --> 02:03:14.000 trying to make them look as good and appealing as 2335 02:03:14.039 --> 02:03:14.399 you can. 2336 02:03:14.560 --> 02:03:16.159 But I'm digging this. 2337 02:03:17.159 --> 02:03:22.079 Yeah, uh, I love that we're following up Jangya Mao 2338 02:03:22.159 --> 02:03:27.199 with Rise of the Super Trummets. July fourteenth, Work Trauma 2339 02:03:27.279 --> 02:03:29.479 is releasing Rise of the Super Trumets. This is from 2340 02:03:29.520 --> 02:03:32.199 twenty twenty five and it says a mysterious virus is 2341 02:03:32.239 --> 02:03:34.640 infecting the men of Trumaville. It's up to the female 2342 02:03:34.640 --> 02:03:36.760 of the Gelante team known as the Super Trumets, to 2343 02:03:37.000 --> 02:03:40.520 unite and tackle this threat. This is going already for 2344 02:03:40.640 --> 02:03:42.960 like thirteen dollars on Blu Ray or something like that, 2345 02:03:43.079 --> 02:03:48.359 so it's got to be a Trauma masterpiece from Trauma. 2346 02:03:48.439 --> 02:03:51.359 They are also releasing Sugar Cookies on Blu Ray, which 2347 02:03:51.399 --> 02:03:53.920 is kind of odd because the Vinegar Syndrome Blu ray 2348 02:03:53.960 --> 02:03:55.720 is still available on their site. I believe it is 2349 02:03:55.800 --> 02:03:58.960 going out of print, but this is coming on July fourteenth. 2350 02:03:59.079 --> 02:04:02.039 You can check that out now. I don't believe any 2351 02:04:02.079 --> 02:04:04.279 of these are new extras. They're all from the Vinegar 2352 02:04:04.319 --> 02:04:07.880 Cinerama release or even earlier. But glad the movie will 2353 02:04:07.920 --> 02:04:10.319 still be available for everybody and inexpensive, so that's a 2354 02:04:10.359 --> 02:04:17.359 good thing. Next up, VCI releasing Poverty Row Classics Volume two. Now. 2355 02:04:17.439 --> 02:04:19.000 A few months ago we had talked about this, but 2356 02:04:19.039 --> 02:04:21.279 they have since updated the release of this. It was 2357 02:04:21.279 --> 02:04:23.199 supposed to come out in May. Now it comes out 2358 02:04:23.239 --> 02:04:26.520 on July fourteenth, and now they've changed the second film, 2359 02:04:26.760 --> 02:04:29.399 so they're putting out East Side Kids from nineteen forty 2360 02:04:29.399 --> 02:04:32.239 and now they're putting out Let's Get Tough, also from 2361 02:04:32.319 --> 02:04:36.239 nineteen forty. They switched out the second title there. Not 2362 02:04:36.279 --> 02:04:39.760 sure why, but hey, something must have happened and here 2363 02:04:39.800 --> 02:04:44.479 we are. Next up Filmmasters on July fourteenth, they're putting 2364 02:04:44.479 --> 02:04:47.359 out nineteen fifties Destination Moon as part of their special 2365 02:04:47.479 --> 02:04:51.359 edition line. This is produced by George Pale and it's 2366 02:04:51.399 --> 02:04:53.920 got restored trailer from a four K scan at full 2367 02:04:54.000 --> 02:04:57.520 length commentary by Justin Humphries. Making of Destination Moon, a 2368 02:04:57.640 --> 02:05:01.800 new documentary by Ballyhoo Motion Pictures. Flight to Mars restored trailer, 2369 02:05:01.960 --> 02:05:06.319 new documentary by bally Who again called Interstellar Travelogs Extended Edition. 2370 02:05:06.720 --> 02:05:09.000 There's an archival doc by bally Who. This is now 2371 02:05:09.199 --> 02:05:12.640 multiple times that they've worked on this film. There's a 2372 02:05:12.680 --> 02:05:14.720 lot here, plus a full color inserted a booklet with 2373 02:05:14.760 --> 02:05:17.359 the new essay by Sloan to Forest. Have you checked 2374 02:05:17.399 --> 02:05:20.000 out much from Filmmasters or seen anything from them? 2375 02:05:20.600 --> 02:05:22.760 No? I haven't, but I'm reading the specs and I 2376 02:05:22.800 --> 02:05:23.600 haven't seen the name. 2377 02:05:24.359 --> 02:05:27.199 The name James van Hyes brings back memories back when 2378 02:05:27.239 --> 02:05:30.439 they used to do all these unauthorized Star Trek like 2379 02:05:30.479 --> 02:05:33.680 episode guides and encyclopedias and things like that, and he 2380 02:05:33.760 --> 02:05:35.920 was all over assuming it's the same guy, like he 2381 02:05:36.039 --> 02:05:38.640 was all over those. I think before Paramount, I think 2382 02:05:38.640 --> 02:05:42.760 they cracked down on them at some point. But no, 2383 02:05:42.840 --> 02:05:45.640 it's definitely this is something I would definitely check out. 2384 02:05:46.720 --> 02:05:49.760 Yeap and explosive Action. You are right they did put 2385 02:05:49.760 --> 02:05:51.279 out Flight to Mars. I believe that was when they 2386 02:05:51.319 --> 02:05:54.079 were still the film detective and became the filmmasters. So 2387 02:05:54.439 --> 02:05:57.079 this is more of like a cobbling together sort of things. 2388 02:05:57.119 --> 02:05:59.880 But it's a double feed here. It'll be reasonably reasonably 2389 02:06:00.439 --> 02:06:03.479 so that's a good thing. Next up, a film I 2390 02:06:03.479 --> 02:06:05.880 had heard is great. I need to see this than 2391 02:06:05.960 --> 02:06:08.319 Napa Boys from last year's Coming to Blu Ray from 2392 02:06:08.319 --> 02:06:11.479 Magnolia on May nineteenth. Is supposed to be pretty damn funny. 2393 02:06:11.840 --> 02:06:14.600 It has no extras on the disc, but looks like 2394 02:06:14.680 --> 02:06:17.279 a great time. Check out the trailer to see if 2395 02:06:17.279 --> 02:06:22.800 it's your type of comedy. Next, Invasion USA from nineteen 2396 02:06:22.840 --> 02:06:25.479 eighty five. This already has a four K in the US, 2397 02:06:25.560 --> 02:06:28.479 but it is getting a re released Blu ray over 2398 02:06:28.520 --> 02:06:31.880 in the UK on June twenty ninth. From Final Cut Entertainment. 2399 02:06:32.199 --> 02:06:34.800 Is that good news? Well, it'll be in print, sure, 2400 02:06:35.520 --> 02:06:38.079 but this was previously done by eighty eight Films in 2401 02:06:38.079 --> 02:06:40.920 the UK, and this is not going to be an 2402 02:06:40.960 --> 02:06:43.960 upgrade in any way. In fact, Final Cut is known 2403 02:06:44.000 --> 02:06:47.600 for pretty bad discs, so just more more awareness. I 2404 02:06:47.640 --> 02:06:50.319 guess that they're releasing this, I would hardly recommend. If 2405 02:06:50.319 --> 02:06:53.319 you love this or Chuck Norris, I definitely recommend the 2406 02:06:53.399 --> 02:06:55.720 Vinegar SYONDRM release of this film. 2407 02:06:56.600 --> 02:06:58.520 I just hear Chuck Norris's name and I think of 2408 02:06:58.600 --> 02:07:03.920 Joe Piscopo and Sidecar Chuck Norris. 2409 02:07:04.359 --> 02:07:09.920 And yeah, this cover is not super appealing either. All right, 2410 02:07:10.479 --> 02:07:14.159 next up, this is funny enough, a very small film 2411 02:07:14.199 --> 02:07:16.399 in the grand scheme of things this week, but a 2412 02:07:16.399 --> 02:07:18.600 fairly large deal for people that love this sort of thing. 2413 02:07:18.960 --> 02:07:21.960 May twenty sixth, Cape Light and MPI are releasing The 2414 02:07:22.079 --> 02:07:26.279 Round Up Outlaws from twenty seventeen. If you recognize this 2415 02:07:26.319 --> 02:07:28.640 guy on the cover, that is Don Lee. And this 2416 02:07:28.720 --> 02:07:31.159 is a big deal because this is the first of 2417 02:07:31.199 --> 02:07:34.079 the round Up films. Technically, when this was released, it 2418 02:07:34.159 --> 02:07:35.680 was not called The round Up. I believe it was 2419 02:07:35.720 --> 02:07:38.600 just called The Outlaws. But this has never had a 2420 02:07:38.760 --> 02:07:42.600 US Blu Ray release. So this is a big deal. 2421 02:07:43.600 --> 02:07:45.840 This is one. I believe they've made four of these 2422 02:07:45.880 --> 02:07:48.840 films now, and this is the first time that the 2423 02:07:48.840 --> 02:07:52.039 first one is being released on HD here in the US. 2424 02:07:52.279 --> 02:07:55.720 So check this out if you are keen on Asian action. 2425 02:07:56.680 --> 02:07:58.760 I'm dying to pick this up. Glad that they're doing 2426 02:07:58.840 --> 02:08:01.560 it here. I need this. Josh fact check me if 2427 02:08:01.600 --> 02:08:03.920 you need to. I hope everything I just said was right. 2428 02:08:03.960 --> 02:08:05.840 I believe that there are four and I believe this 2429 02:08:05.920 --> 02:08:08.560 is the first time US has gotten a Blu Ray 2430 02:08:08.600 --> 02:08:12.239 release of this, So check it out. Josh said he 2431 02:08:12.279 --> 02:08:15.840 had to import a Korean Blu ray of this film. Yikes. 2432 02:08:16.520 --> 02:08:18.520 Now it is here and you can probably get it 2433 02:08:18.560 --> 02:08:24.560 for less than twenty three dollars. Next, Magnolia on May 2434 02:08:24.640 --> 02:08:28.880 twenty sixth is releasing Heal from last year. Now what's 2435 02:08:28.920 --> 02:08:31.800 interesting is over in the UK. This was previously titled 2436 02:08:31.840 --> 02:08:36.680 good Boy, and of course the pov Dog horror film 2437 02:08:36.720 --> 02:08:39.319 from last year was also called good Boy, so they 2438 02:08:39.439 --> 02:08:43.199 changed the title of this film to Heal. This is 2439 02:08:43.279 --> 02:08:46.960 from Jan Kamasa. It's a twisted thriller that follows nineteen 2440 02:08:47.000 --> 02:08:49.840 year old hooligan Tommy played by Anson Boone, who revels 2441 02:08:49.840 --> 02:08:52.800 in a life of drugs, parties, and violence. One night, 2442 02:08:53.319 --> 02:08:55.560 on a bender with his reckless friends, he becomes separated 2443 02:08:55.600 --> 02:08:57.840 from the group and is abducted by an unknown figure 2444 02:08:58.119 --> 02:09:00.680 played by Stephen Graham. I've heard this great. I need 2445 02:09:00.720 --> 02:09:03.319 to see this movie. No extras on here. It also 2446 02:09:03.399 --> 02:09:06.279 has Andrea Risebro who's kind of amazing and everything that 2447 02:09:06.319 --> 02:09:09.239 she does. Yeah, he'll have you seen this one? 2448 02:09:09.760 --> 02:09:11.680 No? I haven't. 2449 02:09:12.560 --> 02:09:17.560 Me neither dying too. This looks so fun, all right. 2450 02:09:18.399 --> 02:09:21.520 The show Dark Wind season four is getting an AMC 2451 02:09:21.800 --> 02:09:24.600 Blu ray on June sixteenth. This will have a handful 2452 02:09:24.600 --> 02:09:28.680 of special features, just some small featurettes. I have never 2453 02:09:28.720 --> 02:09:32.039 seen even a second of this film or this show. 2454 02:09:32.399 --> 02:09:34.199 If you're into it, I'm glad it's still getting Blu 2455 02:09:34.279 --> 02:09:34.760 ray release. 2456 02:09:35.239 --> 02:09:39.239 My dad watches it, actually nice, nice. It's one of 2457 02:09:39.319 --> 02:09:42.720 the few new shows he does watch. But no, he's 2458 02:09:42.760 --> 02:09:43.119 a fan. 2459 02:09:44.600 --> 02:09:47.159 I have heard from people that love it that they 2460 02:09:47.279 --> 02:09:49.159 really love it, so they must have a very strong 2461 02:09:49.199 --> 02:09:54.359 fan base of this one, all right. Next up, wanted 2462 02:09:54.399 --> 02:09:58.600 to shout out an event coming up. Silk Screams is 2463 02:09:58.600 --> 02:10:02.000 presenting the Buffalo Oh Horror Garage Sale May thirtieth and 2464 02:10:02.039 --> 02:10:05.359 thirty first in Buffalo, New York.

Even Michael Felscher's gonna be in there. Check 2481 02:10:55.199 --> 02:10:57.760 it out. Go up there if you are anywhere close 2482 02:10:58.399 --> 02:11:00.000 it seems like a good time and for five bucks, 2483 02:11:00.479 --> 02:11:05.079 I mean, can't really go wrong there. We got some 2484 02:11:05.199 --> 02:11:08.199 details on eighty eight film's release of Rounders. This is 2485 02:11:08.239 --> 02:11:10.560 coming to Blu ray on May eleventh. This is still 2486 02:11:10.640 --> 02:11:12.840 only a Blu ray. A lot of people complaining this 2487 02:11:12.960 --> 02:11:16.000 is not four K, but all the extras on here. 2488 02:11:16.039 --> 02:11:18.039 We get an audio commentary with John Dall and some 2489 02:11:18.079 --> 02:11:21.520 of the screenwriters, and Edward Norton commentary with a handful 2490 02:11:21.560 --> 02:11:24.600 of professional poker players including Johnny Chan, Phil Hellmuth and 2491 02:11:24.680 --> 02:11:28.800 Chris Moneymaker and Chris Ferguson.

Buying the Scenes featurette Inside Professional Poker featurette. 2493 02:11:33.800 --> 02:11:37.279 Are you a Rounders fan again? This one? 2494 02:11:37.319 --> 02:11:39.720 It's been a long time, but I certainly recognize. I 2495 02:11:39.800 --> 02:11:44.520 think that's Tommy Pocket's artwork, which I recognized from a 2496 02:11:44.560 --> 02:11:45.159 mile away. 2497 02:11:47.439 --> 02:11:50.000 I really like this art and I got a lot 2498 02:11:50.079 --> 02:11:52.279 of complaints when I posted this today. I don't know 2499 02:11:52.319 --> 02:11:53.800 something about it just appeals to me. 2500 02:11:55.800 --> 02:11:59.239 Oh yeah, yeah, Thomas Walker. No, I'm thinking it too. 2501 02:11:59.239 --> 02:12:01.640 I like the color scheme. But yes, for the movie, 2502 02:12:02.359 --> 02:12:03.319 it's been a long time. 2503 02:12:04.319 --> 02:12:09.720 Same I've not seen it in ages. Then we've got 2504 02:12:09.920 --> 02:12:12.600 he Man and She Rah the Ultimate Collection, coming to 2505 02:12:13.119 --> 02:12:16.920 DVD only on May twenty sixth. I believe this has 2506 02:12:17.000 --> 02:12:18.960 all of the legacy features that were on the previous 2507 02:12:19.000 --> 02:12:22.319 releases and really not much of anything else. I think 2508 02:12:22.359 --> 02:12:24.800 the biggest thing is that they are all bundled together, 2509 02:12:25.439 --> 02:12:29.000 and I don't think that had happened previously. And so 2510 02:12:29.279 --> 02:12:31.399 if you're into these or you want to be able 2511 02:12:31.399 --> 02:12:33.880 to capture them in the biggest collection, this might be 2512 02:12:33.920 --> 02:12:36.560 the way to do that. They're clearly timing this to 2513 02:12:36.560 --> 02:12:39.239 come out with the Masters of the Universe remake that's 2514 02:12:39.239 --> 02:12:42.279 coming out later this year. Are you, I mean, knowing 2515 02:12:42.319 --> 02:12:44.399 your age, I feel like these would be tailor made 2516 02:12:44.399 --> 02:12:45.319 for you or you into. 2517 02:12:45.079 --> 02:12:47.680 This, you know, I'm sure I see. 2518 02:12:47.760 --> 02:12:50.239 I watched a few, but it wasn't part of my regular, 2519 02:12:50.960 --> 02:12:54.279 you know, Saturday morning, which is why I also always 2520 02:12:54.359 --> 02:12:58.119 laugh when I watch Ghostbusters two, the opening party scene 2521 02:12:58.119 --> 02:12:59.880 when the kids, like I thought it was going to 2522 02:12:59.920 --> 02:13:03.119 be he Man, Yeah, I would have been teen Ghostbusters, 2523 02:13:04.760 --> 02:13:05.800 but yeah, I would have seen a few. 2524 02:13:05.800 --> 02:13:09.600 It just wasn't, yep, really that big part of my childhood. 2525 02:13:10.439 --> 02:13:13.800 I agree, And yeah, that's that's it.

And it's a very Florida movie, which 2578 02:17:07.520 --> 02:17:09.639 is why we premiered at the Florida Film Festival. It 2579 02:17:09.680 --> 02:17:12.000 was all shot in Florida.

Scott? 2582 02:17:20.239 --> 02:17:22.799 Well, you know, to be fair, they're not all created equal. 2583 02:17:23.920 --> 02:17:24.479 So true. 2584 02:17:25.319 --> 02:17:28.000 You know, when I. 2585 02:17:27.239 --> 02:17:30.200 First started buying DVDs, I think I bought my first 2586 02:17:30.200 --> 02:17:34.239 player in ninety eight, it just seemed it was something 2587 02:17:34.280 --> 02:17:35.879 i'd only read about and I was too young to 2588 02:17:35.920 --> 02:17:38.639 get into laser disc and it was like just the 2589 02:17:38.719 --> 02:17:42.600 idea of hearing someone talk over a film about how 2590 02:17:42.600 --> 02:17:45.680 it was made. In fact, it's on the Criterion channel, 2591 02:17:46.000 --> 02:17:47.600 you know, the out of print stuff. I still need 2592 02:17:47.639 --> 02:17:50.559 to check out the King Kong commentary, which was I 2593 02:17:50.559 --> 02:17:55.360 think the first one ever recorded. But yeah, it just 2594 02:17:55.360 --> 02:18:00.799 seemed like one of those cool things. And you know, 2595 02:18:02.079 --> 02:18:04.639 you know, and having always been interested in how movies 2596 02:18:04.680 --> 02:18:07.200 are made, you know, why not. 2597 02:18:07.280 --> 02:18:09.159 But again, some commentaries are. 2598 02:18:09.040 --> 02:18:12.159 Better than others, and the ones that earn my you know, 2599 02:18:12.159 --> 02:18:15.680 it's kind of a mix of informative and funny ones. 2600 02:18:16.399 --> 02:18:20.120 Right. I chose five because we're doing on five of 2601 02:18:20.159 --> 02:18:23.520 our favorites, and I chose five all for different reasons. 2602 02:18:23.559 --> 02:18:26.360 So one of them is specifically because they're super informative, 2603 02:18:26.559 --> 02:18:28.479 but I've got reasons for all of them. I can't 2604 02:18:28.520 --> 02:18:31.920 wait to go into it. Let's hear, what is your 2605 02:18:31.959 --> 02:18:33.200 first one you want to bring up tonight? 2606 02:18:33.479 --> 02:18:35.920 Okay, these are in no particular order, by the way, 2607 02:18:36.280 --> 02:18:40.079 but I will say Star Trek Generations with Ron Moore 2608 02:18:40.120 --> 02:18:43.920 and Brannan Baga, which I think there are a couple 2609 02:18:43.959 --> 02:18:47.159 of bits that were edited on the DVD special edition, 2610 02:18:47.200 --> 02:18:48.520 but if you have the Blu ray and the four K, 2611 02:18:48.600 --> 02:18:53.920 everything's accounted for. But having been a Trek fan since 2612 02:18:53.920 --> 02:18:57.959 I was a kid, since nineteen ninety two, with Next 2613 02:18:58.000 --> 02:19:02.479 Generation and then Deep Space nine, Voyager, et cetera, the 2614 02:19:02.520 --> 02:19:07.639 modern shows some more than others. But this one it's 2615 02:19:07.680 --> 02:19:13.120 super informative, super candid, which I'm surprised, you know some 2616 02:19:13.159 --> 02:19:15.840 of them, you know, not that they say anything horrible, 2617 02:19:15.920 --> 02:19:19.959 but yeah, they talk about not just writing the movie 2618 02:19:20.520 --> 02:19:23.399 but also working on the show, and I think more 2619 02:19:23.520 --> 02:19:28.319 started in season three Braga and four and they were 2620 02:19:28.319 --> 02:19:31.239 writing the series finale all good things kind of at 2621 02:19:31.239 --> 02:19:32.760 the same time as they were writing the movie, and 2622 02:19:32.799 --> 02:19:35.600 they both kind of come to the realization, you know, 2623 02:19:35.719 --> 02:19:38.639 damn it, the finale was better because it was their 2624 02:19:38.680 --> 02:19:39.280 first movie. 2625 02:19:39.319 --> 02:19:41.559 They had all these rules from the studio. 2626 02:19:42.520 --> 02:19:45.760 You know, the original crew can only appear in the opening, 2627 02:19:45.840 --> 02:19:48.159 and you know, I have to have Klingons in it, 2628 02:19:48.239 --> 02:19:51.040 and you know, have some data comic relief and so on. 2629 02:19:52.840 --> 02:19:55.120 They were like, yeah, we spent a year on this movie. 2630 02:19:55.159 --> 02:19:57.360 The finale for the show we wrote in three weeks. 2631 02:19:58.520 --> 02:19:58.680 You know. 2632 02:19:58.680 --> 02:20:00.639 They talk about some stuff that they were able to do. 2633 02:20:02.840 --> 02:20:06.200 You know, they talk about just you know, certain sci 2634 02:20:06.239 --> 02:20:08.840 fi and Star Trek cliches. You know, how come everyone's 2635 02:20:08.920 --> 02:20:11.280 room on the ship has pictures of space when there's 2636 02:20:11.280 --> 02:20:14.680 a window right there. You know, the idea of having 2637 02:20:14.680 --> 02:20:20.120 a counselor on the bridge, and you know, certain things 2638 02:20:20.159 --> 02:20:22.879 that might they feared would date the show as sort 2639 02:20:22.920 --> 02:20:26.639 of an eighties relic, you know, talking about working with Shatner, 2640 02:20:27.200 --> 02:20:30.280 which was very humbling, I guess, and you know the 2641 02:20:30.280 --> 02:20:32.959 rest of the cast. But no, it's great, very informative, 2642 02:20:34.600 --> 02:20:37.000 and they also did a commentary for First Contact, but 2643 02:20:37.159 --> 02:20:39.479 you know, because Generations had so many more issues with that. 2644 02:20:39.479 --> 02:20:41.079 The one for First Contact. 2645 02:20:40.680 --> 02:20:44.079 Was like, yeah, the movie turned out pretty well. Generations 2646 02:20:44.159 --> 02:20:46.920 is a little more Yeah, we kind of wish we 2647 02:20:46.959 --> 02:20:49.760 could do this again, or you have another. 2648 02:20:49.520 --> 02:20:50.040 Go at it. 2649 02:20:52.559 --> 02:20:55.000 I've not listened to any Star Trek commentaries, but I 2650 02:20:55.040 --> 02:20:57.520 can see why they would. I mean, there's, first off, 2651 02:20:57.559 --> 02:21:00.920 it's one of the most like storiediz as ever. There's 2652 02:21:00.920 --> 02:21:03.360 so much that's been done, so much legacy to talk about, 2653 02:21:03.399 --> 02:21:06.879 so much incredible writing. I imagine a lot of them 2654 02:21:06.920 --> 02:21:08.120 would probably be pretty great. 2655 02:21:09.799 --> 02:21:12.479 Some theres are good, and then the ones with Nicholas Meyer, 2656 02:21:13.479 --> 02:21:14.479 those are pretty good too. 2657 02:21:15.799 --> 02:21:19.079 Sounds fantastic. The first one I wanted to talk about 2658 02:21:20.040 --> 02:21:22.000 is the first one that got me into audio commentaries. 2659 02:21:22.000 --> 02:21:24.079 I feel like that's pretty apt for me. And this 2660 02:21:24.200 --> 02:21:25.680 is not the first one I heard. I had heard 2661 02:21:25.680 --> 02:21:27.399 a few and I was like, yeah, I mean, I 2662 02:21:27.680 --> 02:21:30.719 get the appeal, it's just not my thing. And then 2663 02:21:30.760 --> 02:21:34.200 I heard this one and it went into overdrive for me. 2664 02:21:34.719 --> 02:21:38.440 And this is kind of a full circle moment because 2665 02:21:38.479 --> 02:21:41.760 it's somebody that I truly appreciate and admire in the Field. 2666 02:21:42.440 --> 02:21:45.280 It's Bill Ackerman and Amanda Reaes on Last House on 2667 02:21:45.319 --> 02:21:49.120 the Left that was released on Arrow. And this is 2668 02:21:49.120 --> 02:21:52.479 one of those things where it's not a filmmaker that 2669 02:21:52.559 --> 02:21:57.239 was involved in the film, but Bill specifically has worshiped 2670 02:21:57.360 --> 02:21:59.559 Last House on the Left for so long of his life, 2671 02:22:00.319 --> 02:22:03.319 and it was the title that was lived up to 2672 02:22:04.040 --> 02:22:05.959 in multiple ways because when he was a child, he 2673 02:22:06.000 --> 02:22:07.879 wasn't allowed to see it and he was told like, no, 2674 02:22:07.879 --> 02:22:10.399 you're not allowed to see this one specifically, and eventually 2675 02:22:10.399 --> 02:22:11.920 got to see it, and then it became this big thing. 2676 02:22:11.959 --> 02:22:14.719 Then Arrow hired him for this with Amanda, and it 2677 02:22:14.840 --> 02:22:17.319 is so great. It's just one of those things where 2678 02:22:17.360 --> 02:22:20.520 it's like somebody that knows almost as much as you 2679 02:22:20.559 --> 02:22:23.959 could without being directly involved with the film about a film, 2680 02:22:24.440 --> 02:22:28.799 and it's just a complete encyclopedia of what to know 2681 02:22:28.879 --> 02:22:31.680 about it, what to feel about it, the critical analysis 2682 02:22:31.680 --> 02:22:34.840 of it, and it's made so perfectly that it is. 2683 02:22:35.319 --> 02:22:38.840 It's one of those things that was genuinely inspiring for commentaries. 2684 02:22:39.159 --> 02:22:42.120 If you've not heard it, it's quite good. I think 2685 02:22:42.200 --> 02:22:45.520 most people would appreciate it, especially considering what Wes Craven 2686 02:22:45.600 --> 02:22:48.559 became and what that film was at the time and 2687 02:22:48.559 --> 02:22:51.319 what he eventually got into after that. It's still wild 2688 02:22:51.360 --> 02:22:52.920 to me that we get somebody who did Last House 2689 02:22:52.959 --> 02:22:55.840 on the Left, that did things even like Knightmaron Elstree 2690 02:22:55.959 --> 02:23:00.120 like you don't really think crazy, like close to being 2691 02:23:00.200 --> 02:23:04.360 band film to doing like a fairly mainstream slasher and 2692 02:23:04.399 --> 02:23:08.840 starting a franchise, and those together are just so interesting. 2693 02:23:09.440 --> 02:23:15.879 It's obviously it's a very I don't want to say 2694 02:23:15.879 --> 02:23:17.799 troubled film, but it's one of those movies that it's 2695 02:23:17.879 --> 02:23:20.280 it's sensitive for a lot of people. It's got scenes 2696 02:23:20.280 --> 02:23:23.239 in that movie that are hard to watch, and the 2697 02:23:23.280 --> 02:23:25.520 commentary does a really good job in navigating it, and 2698 02:23:25.639 --> 02:23:29.520 I think it did perfectly to balance the education, the 2699 02:23:29.639 --> 02:23:33.280 entertainment and the actual critical analysis which it needed. I mean, 2700 02:23:33.319 --> 02:23:35.000 it's it's that type of movie that calls. 2701 02:23:34.799 --> 02:23:37.079 For it cool. Yeah. 2702 02:23:37.079 --> 02:23:43.319 I have not seen it or listened to it. But 2703 02:23:43.680 --> 02:23:47.719 my next one, the total opposite of that, Mall Rats 2704 02:23:47.959 --> 02:23:52.920 with Kevin, which I've been a Kevin Smith fan since 2705 02:23:53.000 --> 02:23:54.959 high school a friend of when a friend of mine 2706 02:23:55.000 --> 02:23:56.440 came up to me in the Halloway and said, Hey, 2707 02:23:56.440 --> 02:23:58.840 there's this movie out called Dogma. I think you'd like it. 2708 02:23:59.159 --> 02:24:01.719 And I think Clerks had already been on my radar, 2709 02:24:02.319 --> 02:24:04.120 but you know, watched all of his movies. 2710 02:24:04.200 --> 02:24:05.000 I'm still a fan. 2711 02:24:07.440 --> 02:24:13.120 And yeah, it's just it's Kevin Smith, his producer at 2712 02:24:13.120 --> 02:24:16.000 the time, Scott Moser, Ben Affleck, Jason Lee, Jason mus 2713 02:24:16.079 --> 02:24:19.120 and Vincent Pereira, who was sort of their in house 2714 02:24:19.920 --> 02:24:25.520 historian geek expert, you know, actually, of all those people, like, 2715 02:24:25.559 --> 02:24:27.000 he's the one where it was like, how does one 2716 02:24:27.040 --> 02:24:29.440 get to be like him? Like the guy behind the 2717 02:24:29.479 --> 02:24:33.799 guy almost but it's a riot, you know, between making 2718 02:24:33.840 --> 02:24:37.079 fun of Kevin Smith's wade at the time or all 2719 02:24:37.159 --> 02:24:42.079 things Affleck or you know, or a Jeremy London, you know, 2720 02:24:42.159 --> 02:24:44.719 his his performance they kind of mock now and then 2721 02:24:44.799 --> 02:24:47.959 in the old the original DVD had a video option 2722 02:24:48.079 --> 02:24:51.399 as well, which I think it worked with the I 2723 02:24:51.440 --> 02:24:53.559 think it was seamless branching, so you didn't have to 2724 02:24:53.600 --> 02:24:56.120 do anything because Dogma had a video commentary, but you 2725 02:24:56.159 --> 02:24:58.600 had to there would be an icon on the screen 2726 02:24:58.639 --> 02:25:01.000 and you had to catch it, pressed the button and 2727 02:25:01.040 --> 02:25:05.000 it was just implemented very awkwardly. But No, Malrats is 2728 02:25:05.040 --> 02:25:08.399 like one of the classic funny commentaries and they're just 2729 02:25:08.440 --> 02:25:12.159 giving each other crap for much of it, but Smith, 2730 02:25:12.799 --> 02:25:16.879 you know, he's still a great grunt contour. And even 2731 02:25:16.920 --> 02:25:18.559 though I wish Arrow had gotten it so I could 2732 02:25:18.840 --> 02:25:21.959 work on it, I'm glad Dogmas finally back. 2733 02:25:23.200 --> 02:25:24.639 Saying out purgatory. 2734 02:25:26.920 --> 02:25:29.799 It is one of those that has been I don't 2735 02:25:29.799 --> 02:25:31.319 remember when that first Blue ray came out. It was 2736 02:25:31.319 --> 02:25:33.360 like twenty eleven and it went out of print. I 2737 02:25:33.399 --> 02:25:35.680 don't even think it was in print for like three years. 2738 02:25:35.840 --> 02:25:38.559 It had to have been maybe like two years that 2739 02:25:38.559 --> 02:25:41.040 it was available, and so we've been waiting a long 2740 02:25:41.120 --> 02:25:43.559 time to have it out there again. It is great. 2741 02:25:44.920 --> 02:25:46.799 Since you did a funny one, I'm gonna go to 2742 02:25:46.799 --> 02:25:49.319 mine that I chose for funny, and to me, the 2743 02:25:49.319 --> 02:25:52.280 funniest audio commentary of all time is one of my favorites. 2744 02:25:52.600 --> 02:25:55.399 Had to go for Tropic Thunder. We got Robert Downey 2745 02:25:55.479 --> 02:26:01.639 Junior doing an in character commentary and it is I mean, 2746 02:26:02.879 --> 02:26:06.280 his work in Tropic Thunder is so good, and then 2747 02:26:06.520 --> 02:26:10.000 it mostly carries over like there's very little downtime that 2748 02:26:10.120 --> 02:26:15.239 isn't just uproariously funny on this commentary. He nails it. 2749 02:26:15.879 --> 02:26:19.840 I don't even know what else to say about it. 2750 02:26:19.840 --> 02:26:22.040 It's just one of those things where it's you know, 2751 02:26:22.239 --> 02:26:24.920 there's some commentaries that have been legendary for people being 2752 02:26:24.959 --> 02:26:27.799 in character. I mean, we both showed Spinal Tap earlier. 2753 02:26:27.879 --> 02:26:29.159 That's got one of the best ones of all time. 2754 02:26:29.200 --> 02:26:32.200 It's got the whole band doing in character commentary. It's great. 2755 02:26:32.239 --> 02:26:34.879 It's a very good commentary. I just listened to that 2756 02:26:34.879 --> 02:26:40.479 one again recently, actually. But Tropic Thunder for funniness, I 2757 02:26:40.520 --> 02:26:44.280 think it is the best funny commentary maybe ever made. 2758 02:26:44.319 --> 02:26:45.600 It is so good. Check it out. 2759 02:26:46.200 --> 02:26:48.799 I do have two that I'm calling the funniest, and 2760 02:26:48.840 --> 02:26:50.600 I haven't listened to that one in so long. I 2761 02:26:50.639 --> 02:26:52.399 don't even think I did the whole thing, but it 2762 02:26:52.479 --> 02:26:54.239 works because they mentioned it in the movie. 2763 02:26:54.719 --> 02:26:56.920 I don't have that line. I don't break character till 2764 02:26:56.920 --> 02:27:00.639 the DVD commentary or something was going to pull up. 2765 02:27:00.639 --> 02:27:01.559 It would take me too long. 2766 02:27:01.639 --> 02:27:04.040 A photo of me and Kevin Smith at the Orlando 2767 02:27:04.120 --> 02:27:08.479 Mega Con in two thousand and two. Nice, but I yeah, 2768 02:27:08.520 --> 02:27:13.399 but I'll do. I'll do a funny one then, and 2769 02:27:13.399 --> 02:27:16.200 then I've got a serious one and then a funny one. 2770 02:27:16.879 --> 02:27:20.399 The Kentucky Fried movie good one. I don't know if 2771 02:27:20.399 --> 02:27:22.639 it's still on there now. It was actually on to 2772 02:27:22.840 --> 02:27:24.399 be streaming the commentary. 2773 02:27:24.840 --> 02:27:25.520 Oh nice. 2774 02:27:25.719 --> 02:27:27.879 So you have John Landis, Robert K. 2775 02:27:28.000 --> 02:27:32.079 Wise, the producer, David and Jerry Zucker and Jim Abrams 2776 02:27:32.200 --> 02:27:35.200 Rest in Peace. And I think the old Anchor Bay 2777 02:27:35.280 --> 02:27:37.680 DVD even had a photo of the recording session where 2778 02:27:37.719 --> 02:27:39.959 it's just the five five of them, you know, sitting 2779 02:27:39.959 --> 02:27:45.079 on a couch. It's a riot from the beginning. And 2780 02:27:45.319 --> 02:27:47.920 you know, Landis has only done a couple of commentaries himself, 2781 02:27:49.440 --> 02:27:51.239 but it's funny, you know, they kind of all give 2782 02:27:51.280 --> 02:27:54.920 their origin stories. You know, Landis had Doun Schlock, The 2783 02:27:54.920 --> 02:27:58.360 Suckers had Kentucky Fry Theater, first in Wisconsin and then 2784 02:27:58.440 --> 02:28:03.840 in la. You know, at some point, you know, you know, 2785 02:28:04.200 --> 02:28:07.920 they're like, okay, movies halfway done, can we go home now? 2786 02:28:09.399 --> 02:28:10.079 And Robert K. 2787 02:28:10.200 --> 02:28:13.559 Weiss tells a story of there's the segment in the 2788 02:28:13.559 --> 02:28:16.760 movie a fist full of yen and Weiss tells a 2789 02:28:16.799 --> 02:28:18.600 story you know, the lawyer. We showed this to the 2790 02:28:18.639 --> 02:28:20.959 lawyer who said it was unreleasable, and then we asked 2791 02:28:20.959 --> 02:28:22.559 the financial guy what do we do when he said, 2792 02:28:22.600 --> 02:28:28.159 get different lawyers. But yeah, that one, that one makes 2793 02:28:28.200 --> 02:28:29.319 me laugh this day. 2794 02:28:29.360 --> 02:28:32.440 It's up there. It's a very very good one. Not 2795 02:28:32.520 --> 02:28:34.840 enough people talk about Kentucky Fried movie in twenty twenty six. 2796 02:28:34.959 --> 02:28:35.600 It's still great. 2797 02:28:37.719 --> 02:28:39.760 Some of the segments are better than others. It does 2798 02:28:40.319 --> 02:28:42.920 take its time a little bit. In fact, even they 2799 02:28:43.000 --> 02:28:45.120 even make fun of it. Twenty minutes in they're like, 2800 02:28:45.239 --> 02:28:46.799 is there a point where the movie kicked in. 2801 02:28:48.440 --> 02:28:50.840 At all? And Robert Weiss is like, did we scare 2802 02:28:50.840 --> 02:28:52.559 away the profit participation yet? 2803 02:28:52.719 --> 02:28:57.559 And well, you mentioned them hanging out sitting on a couch, 2804 02:28:57.600 --> 02:29:00.840 So I'm gonna do my hangout choice, which a lot 2805 02:29:00.879 --> 02:29:03.399 of times these are really great because it feels like 2806 02:29:03.440 --> 02:29:06.040 one of those commentaries where you're like welcomed into the 2807 02:29:06.079 --> 02:29:08.399 fold in a way. It's just sort of you just 2808 02:29:08.520 --> 02:29:10.840 chilling with a bunch of friends. And my go to 2809 02:29:10.959 --> 02:29:14.280 for this is any John Carpenter or Kurt Russell joint, 2810 02:29:14.360 --> 02:29:16.719 which I was very close to choosing Big Trouble in 2811 02:29:16.719 --> 02:29:18.440 Little China because it's a really good one as well, 2812 02:29:18.799 --> 02:29:20.559 but I kind of had to go for the cliche 2813 02:29:20.600 --> 02:29:23.000 answer and say I think the thing is the best one. 2814 02:29:23.079 --> 02:29:27.680 With them, it's literally just them chilling on a couch together. 2815 02:29:27.879 --> 02:29:30.120 They both have some beers during the whole time, and 2816 02:29:30.159 --> 02:29:32.799 it's just like, h man, you remember this and it 2817 02:29:33.000 --> 02:29:35.319 just hanging out like talking about shit in a way 2818 02:29:35.360 --> 02:29:40.319 that is just so again like welcoming, Like you could 2819 02:29:40.360 --> 02:29:42.799 just see you and three other friends sitting on the 2820 02:29:42.840 --> 02:29:45.959 couch and do this exact same thing. It is absolutely 2821 02:29:45.959 --> 02:29:51.040 worth it. The film itself is not getting super analyzed. 2822 02:29:51.120 --> 02:29:52.959 It's not going to give you all kinds of deep insight, 2823 02:29:53.360 --> 02:29:55.959 but it's John fricking Carpenter and Kurt Russell and it's 2824 02:29:56.040 --> 02:29:59.159 just a blast to be able to listen to. I 2825 02:29:59.200 --> 02:30:02.799 really hope more people we'll have listened to it now 2826 02:30:02.799 --> 02:30:05.159 that it's been around for so long. I also, like, 2827 02:30:05.159 --> 02:30:06.680 I know he's getting old, but I'd love to get 2828 02:30:06.719 --> 02:30:09.520 some updated John Carpenter thoughts on some of these things. Sure, 2829 02:30:09.680 --> 02:30:11.520 I know you just want to smoke weed and play 2830 02:30:11.559 --> 02:30:13.840 video games, but come on, man, we all still worship 2831 02:30:13.879 --> 02:30:16.280 you the thing. Check it out if you haven't. It's 2832 02:30:16.719 --> 02:30:17.639 it's a great commentary. 2833 02:30:18.200 --> 02:30:20.200 And I almost went I went from like zero to 2834 02:30:20.239 --> 02:30:21.879 one hundred with Carpenter. I'd already. 2835 02:30:22.559 --> 02:30:24.280 I mean, we all love Big Trouble in Little China, 2836 02:30:24.360 --> 02:30:26.440 but a lot of his films I watched only for 2837 02:30:26.479 --> 02:30:29.600 the first or maybe second time during COVID lockdown, which 2838 02:30:29.639 --> 02:30:31.879 is why for Arrow, when I got in the Mouth 2839 02:30:31.920 --> 02:30:35.440 of Madness. You know, that one's kind to become my favorite. Yeah, 2840 02:30:35.559 --> 02:30:37.520 so that was a treat, you know, to be able 2841 02:30:37.520 --> 02:30:40.079 to work on that one. And we'll be talking about 2842 02:30:40.719 --> 02:30:43.680 how very cool. We'll be talking about Kurt Russell again 2843 02:30:43.840 --> 02:30:46.479 in a few minutes. But I want to mention Terry 2844 02:30:46.479 --> 02:30:52.000 Gilliams Brazil commentary. Oh nice now, And I remember when 2845 02:30:52.000 --> 02:30:54.920 I was younger reading about this legendary laser disc boxet 2846 02:30:54.959 --> 02:30:58.479 that Criterion released, and then to get into this stuff later. 2847 02:30:58.959 --> 02:31:00.959 And by the way, I should out in my family, 2848 02:31:01.040 --> 02:31:04.520 we rarely have ever bought movies. My parents didn't see 2849 02:31:04.520 --> 02:31:08.440 the point. It'll just be on TV. Ironic considering what 2850 02:31:08.520 --> 02:31:11.920 I do now. But you know I had the three 2851 02:31:12.000 --> 02:31:14.040 disc you know, the DVD set, and then the Blu ray, 2852 02:31:14.079 --> 02:31:14.879 now the four K. 2853 02:31:16.479 --> 02:31:16.680 But no. 2854 02:31:16.760 --> 02:31:22.600 Gilliam's commentary beginning to end, talks about everything and Brazil. 2855 02:31:22.639 --> 02:31:24.079 It's one of those movies where if I'm in a 2856 02:31:24.079 --> 02:31:26.479 bit of a creative rut, like I'll just watch that 2857 02:31:26.600 --> 02:31:29.319 movie or behind the scenes or whatever, and like that 2858 02:31:29.399 --> 02:31:31.639 will inspire me that and I think Blade Runner is 2859 02:31:31.680 --> 02:31:35.920 probably the other one where even though I'm making movies, 2860 02:31:36.799 --> 02:31:39.600 just seeing it and taking in the craft and artistry, 2861 02:31:39.719 --> 02:31:41.680 it's like, yeah, you know, it helps. 2862 02:31:43.440 --> 02:31:46.479 Shamefully, I'm still very behind on watching a lot of 2863 02:31:46.520 --> 02:31:49.360 Gilliam's things, let alone, I've never heard any of his commentaries. 2864 02:31:49.360 --> 02:31:53.280 I definitely need to. That sounds fantastic and Brazil just 2865 02:31:53.319 --> 02:31:57.040 beautiful obviously to look at it. That's the big thing. Yeah, 2866 02:31:57.319 --> 02:32:01.920 all right, my uh my next one, I'm gonna talk 2867 02:32:01.920 --> 02:32:05.600 about one that is gonna sound maybe slightly masturbatory. It's 2868 02:32:06.159 --> 02:32:08.600 not my commentary, but I hired the two guys to 2869 02:32:08.639 --> 02:32:10.680 do this and it has become one of my favorites. 2870 02:32:10.799 --> 02:32:13.520 And I got to talk about a deaf crocodile release 2871 02:32:13.760 --> 02:32:16.680 because Inflatable Sex do all of the Wastelands that came 2872 02:32:16.719 --> 02:32:19.840 out last year. I really loved this commentary. It's Mike 2873 02:32:19.920 --> 02:32:22.000 Leader in art of Venema, And the main reason I 2874 02:32:22.000 --> 02:32:24.959 loved it is because when I saw what the film 2875 02:32:25.000 --> 02:32:27.280 was gonna be and that Craig and Dennis were looking 2876 02:32:27.280 --> 02:32:29.760 for a commentary, I felt like they would be perfect 2877 02:32:29.799 --> 02:32:31.600 for it, which is odd because they really only ever 2878 02:32:31.639 --> 02:32:35.239 talked about action films and like martial arts films and 2879 02:32:35.719 --> 02:32:37.559 a lot of Hong Kong films, and so they've not 2880 02:32:37.680 --> 02:32:39.399 had a chance with a lot of things like this. 2881 02:32:40.040 --> 02:32:44.879 And it is such a dense commentary that it's it's 2882 02:32:45.000 --> 02:32:47.319 one of those that's kind of hard to even ingest 2883 02:32:47.440 --> 02:32:51.520 everything that's a part of it. Like while editing a 2884 02:32:51.559 --> 02:32:53.879 portion of the transcript and all that, I had to 2885 02:32:53.920 --> 02:32:56.159 pause just to catch up with what was being said, 2886 02:32:56.200 --> 02:32:58.680 like if I was genuinely going through it. The notes 2887 02:32:58.719 --> 02:33:01.399 that you can get from this commentary it is crazy. 2888 02:33:02.200 --> 02:33:05.040 It's kind of an example of just finding the right 2889 02:33:05.159 --> 02:33:07.520 person for a commentary, which is why I wanted to 2890 02:33:07.600 --> 02:33:10.200 choose this one, because you wouldn't think to hire these 2891 02:33:10.200 --> 02:33:13.479 guys for it. But I knew that Arna Venima specifically 2892 02:33:13.520 --> 02:33:16.319 wanted to branch out from the action things and this 2893 02:33:16.360 --> 02:33:19.440 one was perfect for him and inflatable sex. All the 2894 02:33:19.479 --> 02:33:22.600 Wastelands is so odd because the title is in the 2895 02:33:22.639 --> 02:33:24.959 original title in English is Dutch Wife of the Desert, 2896 02:33:25.079 --> 02:33:30.120 and Arna I believe is Dutch himself. But the the 2897 02:33:30.399 --> 02:33:34.360 pink film aspect of this film is so overblown that 2898 02:33:34.399 --> 02:33:36.639 people have stayed away from this movie. And I knew 2899 02:33:36.639 --> 02:33:38.959 that he was going to crush this commentary, and it's 2900 02:33:39.040 --> 02:33:43.639 just so it's so educational through and through and Arna 2901 02:33:43.920 --> 02:33:46.559 and Mike and like Frank Jang and a couple of 2902 02:33:46.559 --> 02:33:49.479 these others that are doing these modern Asian releases specifically 2903 02:33:49.840 --> 02:33:55.159 are really great at like spiderwebbing these connections across all 2904 02:33:55.200 --> 02:33:59.040 of Asian film history, and this commentary specifically is just 2905 02:33:59.159 --> 02:34:01.680 a massive cop web of they did this and this 2906 02:34:01.719 --> 02:34:03.760 and this together and because of their connections here, they 2907 02:34:03.760 --> 02:34:06.120 were able to do that. And it's it's just it's 2908 02:34:06.200 --> 02:34:09.280 mystifying how much they know about it. It's so properly researched. 2909 02:34:09.360 --> 02:34:13.159 It is great. It is dense, though it is very 2910 02:34:13.200 --> 02:34:15.719 hard to even grasp everything. You might want to pause 2911 02:34:15.760 --> 02:34:18.000 a couple times, especially if you're taking notes. Check it out. 2912 02:34:18.000 --> 02:34:20.159 It's a killer commentary. 2913 02:34:20.600 --> 02:34:25.399 And finally, yeah, I did four for five. Speaking of 2914 02:34:25.440 --> 02:34:28.840 Kurt Russell, for me, the funniest commentary used cars. 2915 02:34:29.559 --> 02:34:30.639 Oh, it's a great one. 2916 02:34:30.840 --> 02:34:35.520 It's him, Bob, Gail, Robert Zemeckis. I mean, the commentary 2917 02:34:35.600 --> 02:34:39.760 literally starts with Kurt Russell just laughing, yeah, and we 2918 02:34:39.920 --> 02:34:42.680 go from there. It's a riot. You know, they talk 2919 02:34:42.719 --> 02:34:45.319 about the actors, they talk about you know, Spielberg and 2920 02:34:45.399 --> 02:34:48.959 Millius and you know, roads not taken and you know, 2921 02:34:48.959 --> 02:34:53.479 and it's weird to hear like people like your heroes 2922 02:34:53.959 --> 02:34:57.079 not you know, like Zamechas and like people like them 2923 02:34:57.079 --> 02:34:59.360 cursing because you know, at least you know for a 2924 02:34:59.399 --> 02:35:02.879 while like were you know, Back to the Future. You know, 2925 02:35:02.959 --> 02:35:06.120 which are more or less you know, family movies, but 2926 02:35:07.120 --> 02:35:08.840 you know, just to hear these guys like drop f 2927 02:35:08.920 --> 02:35:10.040 bombs and things like that. 2928 02:35:11.479 --> 02:35:15.040 But it's a riot. Kurt Russell's laughter is infectious. You know, 2929 02:35:15.079 --> 02:35:18.360 there's some bits where you know they can't stop laughing. 2930 02:35:18.920 --> 02:35:22.639 Bob Gail did a home theater forum chat years ago, 2931 02:35:22.799 --> 02:35:25.079 probably for the DVD release it Back to the Future, 2932 02:35:25.079 --> 02:35:28.079 and I just mentioned whatever my question was, and I 2933 02:35:28.159 --> 02:35:31.639 mentioned this commentary to him and he said, you know that, Yeah, 2934 02:35:31.680 --> 02:35:32.200 that was fun. 2935 02:35:32.319 --> 02:35:36.799 As John Millius might say, we achieved critical mass. But 2936 02:35:37.159 --> 02:35:39.920 they talk about the crazy stunt with Garrett Graham where 2937 02:35:39.959 --> 02:35:43.040 he's walking backwards and a car passes within a. 2938 02:35:43.000 --> 02:35:43.559 Photo of him. 2939 02:35:44.159 --> 02:35:46.959 Yeah, Mecas is like, you know, I could feel my 2940 02:35:47.000 --> 02:35:48.399 scrotum shriveling up when. 2941 02:35:48.319 --> 02:35:50.079 I see this shot. You know. 2942 02:35:50.239 --> 02:35:52.479 Of course, he points out, today so much stuff would 2943 02:35:52.479 --> 02:35:56.360 be done you know, with computer with the CGI. But 2944 02:35:56.440 --> 02:35:59.239 there's a bit you know, when I lived in La 2945 02:36:00.040 --> 02:36:02.319 on the regular, when I was getting the design career 2946 02:36:02.360 --> 02:36:05.120 go and I worked as an extra on TV. I'm 2947 02:36:05.120 --> 02:36:09.239 actually sag eligible and you know, it's like, you need 2948 02:36:09.239 --> 02:36:11.479 to populate a scene. If you don't, then it looks 2949 02:36:11.559 --> 02:36:14.479 empty or cheap or whatever. And there's a trial scene 2950 02:36:14.479 --> 02:36:17.719 at the end of Used Cars where I think, you know, 2951 02:36:17.840 --> 02:36:21.479 she's Debrah Harmon's character is getting sued because you know, 2952 02:36:21.639 --> 02:36:23.559 she promised a certain number of cars on the lot 2953 02:36:23.639 --> 02:36:26.360 or something. And then Kurt Russell shows up and on 2954 02:36:26.399 --> 02:36:29.239 the commentary, Kurt Russell's like, I love, I love how 2955 02:36:29.280 --> 02:36:33.639 the courthouse is packed for this nothing case, and it's like, well, 2956 02:36:33.639 --> 02:36:35.920 you have to. If you didn't, it would look incomplete. 2957 02:36:35.959 --> 02:36:39.680 It's just one of those movie things, you know. That 2958 02:36:39.719 --> 02:36:45.799 commentary is an absolute riot, And yeah it's and actually 2959 02:36:45.799 --> 02:36:47.079 the one for I Want to Hold your Hand that 2960 02:36:47.280 --> 02:36:51.680 Gallon's and Mechas and that one's pretty funny too. But yeah, 2961 02:36:51.680 --> 02:36:54.959 I'm always usually the commentary is that the commentary is 2962 02:36:55.000 --> 02:36:57.159 the one feature where I'm disappointed when there isn't one. 2963 02:36:58.000 --> 02:37:00.840 Yeah, but then again, you know, some better than others. 2964 02:37:03.040 --> 02:37:06.879 You know, not everyone suited for a commentary, but you know, 2965 02:37:06.879 --> 02:37:09.040 if it's a good one, it's you know, I go 2966 02:37:09.120 --> 02:37:11.280 back to these things. And plus is someone who works 2967 02:37:12.479 --> 02:37:14.559 you know, I work remotely, but you know I'm sitting 2968 02:37:14.559 --> 02:37:16.799 in a room. It's always nice, you know, have background 2969 02:37:16.840 --> 02:37:20.440 noise too. Yeah, I always need something playing in the background. 2970 02:37:21.319 --> 02:37:24.000 Used Cars is great and so few people have even 2971 02:37:24.040 --> 02:37:26.399 seen it nowadays. Please go watch Use Cars if you've 2972 02:37:26.440 --> 02:37:31.040 not seen it, It's fantastic. This is such a funny 2973 02:37:31.040 --> 02:37:34.920 one to end this episode on. So I've been working 2974 02:37:34.920 --> 02:37:37.399 on a release for the last couple of years with 2975 02:37:37.479 --> 02:37:42.280 will on a lot. I don't even know when it's 2976 02:37:42.280 --> 02:37:44.920 gonna announced, hopefully later this year or early next year 2977 02:37:44.959 --> 02:37:48.200 at some point. But as part of that we got 2978 02:37:48.239 --> 02:37:52.760 to work with kind of legendary producer, director, writer fred 2979 02:37:52.799 --> 02:37:57.040 Olin Ray. And while thinking about our topic this week, 2980 02:37:57.159 --> 02:37:59.680 I went, you know, one of my favorite things ever 2981 02:37:59.879 --> 02:38:03.639 is the Fred Olinray commentary on Jacko. Have you ever 2982 02:38:03.639 --> 02:38:04.159 heard about this? 2983 02:38:04.200 --> 02:38:07.879 Scut No, I haven't so. 2984 02:38:08.639 --> 02:38:13.680 Jacko is a wild, low budget horror movie and the 2985 02:38:13.719 --> 02:38:16.840 director of this one is a guy named Steve Latshaw, 2986 02:38:17.120 --> 02:38:23.639 and this commentary is like cringe comedy at the highest. 2987 02:38:24.200 --> 02:38:28.600 So basically the commentary is the director and executive producer 2988 02:38:28.680 --> 02:38:33.120 Fred ollen Ray is starting off what sounds like sort 2989 02:38:33.159 --> 02:38:36.559 of contentious. They're already not on the same page. There's 2990 02:38:36.600 --> 02:38:40.239 disagreements on who has done what, on what was altered, 2991 02:38:40.399 --> 02:38:43.760 on why things were poorly executed, And I don't even 2992 02:38:43.799 --> 02:38:46.719 think We're halfway through the commentary and there's like a 2993 02:38:46.719 --> 02:38:49.600 full blown fight and one of them stands up and 2994 02:38:49.719 --> 02:38:54.120 walks out, and it is awkward. It's like, first off, 2995 02:38:54.159 --> 02:38:56.840 how did this get to the disc But second it 2996 02:38:56.920 --> 02:38:59.239 is just one of those things where you're like, man, 2997 02:38:59.559 --> 02:39:02.799 I like, it's really great that this is archived in 2998 02:39:02.840 --> 02:39:05.520 a way that we can hear the things that happen 2999 02:39:05.600 --> 02:39:09.200 behind the scenes for these things. It is a fun film. 3000 02:39:09.520 --> 02:39:12.319 It's a it's not a great movie, but it's it's 3001 02:39:12.319 --> 02:39:15.680 a very fun movie. It's an entertaining movie. The commentary though, 3002 02:39:16.120 --> 02:39:18.520 very entertaining. If you've never heard it, go give it 3003 02:39:18.520 --> 02:39:20.440 a listen. I think there are clips of like the 3004 02:39:20.440 --> 02:39:25.440 most contentious parts on YouTube. Jacko is Wild and if 3005 02:39:25.440 --> 02:39:29.760 you've never seen it, it is such a B movie, 3006 02:39:29.799 --> 02:39:32.479 classic type of moment that everybody should hear it. 3007 02:39:32.479 --> 02:39:33.079 At least once. 3008 02:39:34.280 --> 02:39:37.520 Well, isn't there Oh, I haven't listened to it, the 3009 02:39:37.559 --> 02:39:41.079 Soderberg Lemon Hobs, Climber and Limey. Isn't that kind of 3010 02:39:42.079 --> 02:39:45.040 you know? And also wasn't there a isn't there a 3011 02:39:45.040 --> 02:39:48.000 Mickey Rooney commentary one on a Twilight Zone where like 3012 02:39:48.040 --> 02:39:51.559 he just doesn't say anything, or the moderators asking questions, 3013 02:39:51.559 --> 02:39:54.559 he's not giving them anything, something like something like that. 3014 02:39:55.959 --> 02:39:56.920 Would not surprise me. 3015 02:39:57.159 --> 02:40:01.440 I uh good, No, just I remember when when Keno 3016 02:40:02.520 --> 02:40:05.399 having talking about Get Smart now coming full circle when 3017 02:40:05.440 --> 02:40:08.680 Keno announced the Nude Bomb, everyone in the comments was like, 3018 02:40:08.719 --> 02:40:10.680 you got to get Alan Spencer, and then they actually 3019 02:40:10.719 --> 02:40:13.600 delayed the release and brought an Alan Spencer. And his 3020 02:40:13.719 --> 02:40:17.719 commentary is excellent. He does not miss a beat. It's 3021 02:40:17.840 --> 02:40:22.200 ninety minutes straight. It's like a Get Smart film school. Almost. Yeah, 3022 02:40:22.840 --> 02:40:24.840 and highly recommend it even if you're not a fan 3023 02:40:24.920 --> 02:40:27.479 of Get Smart or the Nude Bomb, which is not 3024 02:40:27.600 --> 02:40:32.760 a great movie. But Spencer, he almost liked the movie 3025 02:40:32.760 --> 02:40:34.079 more because he talks about it. 3026 02:40:34.760 --> 02:40:39.440 Right. I'm moderate, well not moderated. I helped facilitate a 3027 02:40:39.440 --> 02:40:43.000 commentary fairly recently for a pretty long film and what 3028 02:40:43.040 --> 02:40:49.479 was crazy to me is the director. I don't know 3029 02:40:49.520 --> 02:40:53.479 if he forgot things because he seemed so knowledgeable about 3030 02:40:53.479 --> 02:40:57.319 certain things, but he would go long stretches like twenty 3031 02:40:57.360 --> 02:40:59.440 five minutes, and all you hear on the track is 3032 02:40:59.520 --> 02:41:04.479 just brief think Anyways, I'm still kind of curious to 3033 02:41:04.479 --> 02:41:06.600 see how that goes to disc. If it goes to disc, 3034 02:41:06.959 --> 02:41:09.399 like optional scene commentary would make sense for that one. 3035 02:41:10.319 --> 02:41:13.200 I'm not sure what they're gonna do anyways. That is 3036 02:41:13.239 --> 02:41:15.680 it the big like moral of the story tonight. Go 3037 02:41:15.680 --> 02:41:19.959 listen to audio commentaries. They are really great. They're really valuable. 3038 02:41:20.639 --> 02:41:22.799 Many of the ones that we have not talked about 3039 02:41:22.879 --> 02:41:28.200 are big ones like Bogdanovic commentaries are film school literally. 3040 02:41:28.639 --> 02:41:31.280 I also would have mentioned the James Cameron and Company 3041 02:41:31.280 --> 02:41:34.280 on Aliens as a great commentary, but that's one where 3042 02:41:34.920 --> 02:41:38.319 you know, I almost wish I would love to hear 3043 02:41:38.360 --> 02:41:42.959 the separate track with just Cameron himself solo talking about it. 3044 02:41:45.000 --> 02:41:49.000 I will say it was kind of poignant. I just 3045 02:41:49.000 --> 02:41:51.120 did a podcast episode recently. That's why I had spinal 3046 02:41:51.159 --> 02:41:54.159 Tap close by. We did a podcast episode on the 3047 02:41:54.520 --> 02:41:57.159 other commentary on spinal Tap, not the in character one, 3048 02:41:57.239 --> 02:42:00.840 but talking about Rob Reiner and a couple ofcers and stuff. 3049 02:42:01.719 --> 02:42:06.159 So many of these commentaries are important for reasons that 3050 02:42:06.239 --> 02:42:09.559 I really kind of captured with because we don't know 3051 02:42:09.600 --> 02:42:11.479 when we're going to lose Rob Reiner, we don't know 3052 02:42:11.520 --> 02:42:13.920 when we're going to lose fred Olin Ray. Even though 3053 02:42:13.959 --> 02:42:15.959 it's a silly kind of cringe moment, so many of 3054 02:42:16.040 --> 02:42:19.399 these things are capturing filmmaker's voices that you won't get 3055 02:42:19.399 --> 02:42:24.040 a chance to hear this way, so personal, so sort 3056 02:42:24.079 --> 02:42:27.000 of sort of vulnerable. A lot of these commentaries are like, yeah, 3057 02:42:27.079 --> 02:42:29.479 I did this wrong. I would have done this this 3058 02:42:29.559 --> 02:42:31.319 way if I had known at the time, or something 3059 02:42:31.399 --> 02:42:36.200 like that. And listening to Rob Reiner talk about spinal 3060 02:42:36.239 --> 02:42:39.680 tap just a couple months after his passing, it was tough. 3061 02:42:40.000 --> 02:42:43.159 I mean, he is a legend in so many different ways. 3062 02:42:43.239 --> 02:42:48.440 And yeah, I adore that commentary. Adore Rob Reiner. Yeah, 3063 02:42:48.520 --> 02:42:54.079 listen to commentaries, They're important. Scott, this has been amazing. 3064 02:42:54.079 --> 02:42:55.120 Thanks for having out tonight. 3065 02:42:55.799 --> 02:42:58.200 Yeah, I'm happy to hope to get to do it again. 3066 02:42:58.239 --> 02:43:00.399 And I just have to think of another topic to cover, 3067 02:43:01.399 --> 02:43:04.680 but no, it's been a blast. Hope folks have enjoyed this. 3068 02:43:05.959 --> 02:43:11.639 It's a quarter after midnight, so probably going to bed soon.
