Speaker 2: This is the first episode of twenty twenty five with
Speaker 2: the Good Doctor joining me. Doctor Will doubts and how
Speaker 2: are we doing?
Speaker 3: Sir?
Speaker 4: I was gonna get one of those noise maker things,
Speaker 4: but I didn't.
Speaker 2: That would have been decent. Is it is wonderful to
Speaker 2: see your face? What has the week been?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 4: You know, transmission fell out of the car. Other than that,
Speaker 4: everything's been great. You know, I'm trying to be I'm
Speaker 4: trying to see the potential in the year. Yeah, how
Speaker 4: about you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's been a rough week too, some stuff I
Speaker 2: haven't even shared with you yet. My my mom's car
Speaker 2: got possibly totaled this week. Been giving her some rides.
Speaker 2: It's been a rough week with the kids. And yeah,
Speaker 2: got over being sick since since last week and here
Speaker 2: we are doing it all over again.
Speaker 3: Kids. Man.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we got a lot to cover tonight. Normally I
Speaker 2: thought this was going to be a fairly slow week,
Speaker 2: and announcement wise, it kind of is. But we got
Speaker 2: we got some exclusives to talk about tonight. We got
Speaker 2: a big giveaway to do tonight for def Crocodile. We've
Speaker 2: got a bunch of new faces in the chat. We
Speaker 2: got some lists from Will to cover. We got some
Speaker 2: recent watches, pickups, rants, all kinds of stuff to cover.
Speaker 4: Man, we'll address some things.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're gonna address a lot of things. One that
Speaker 2: I wanted to start off with very very quickly. Will
Speaker 2: doesn't even know about this one yet. The Physical Media
Speaker 2: Advocate was due out to everybody yesterday and we've been
Speaker 2: delayed by two days because our cover artist was in
Speaker 2: the midst of two different major emergencies.
Speaker 3: In the last week and it got delayed.
Speaker 2: But as of literally like four minutes before I went live,
Speaker 2: we got our cover and a sneak peek for everybody.
Speaker 2: Here is the cover of the January one Physical Media
Speaker 2: Advocate going out to stores available on Amazon starting in
Speaker 2: the next day and a half. You will be able
Speaker 2: to pick this up soon. Great peace on the Substance.
Speaker 2: We have a lot going on on this and cannot
Speaker 2: wait for you to see this issue. It's possibly my
Speaker 2: favorite yet, which is crazy considering how many we've done.
Speaker 3: Did you you didn't get a chance to see the
Speaker 3: Substance this year? Did you? Well?
Speaker 4: I spent a little time with Jeremy Long, so I
Speaker 4: got the gist of it.
Speaker 3: Good to know a.
Speaker 4: Lot of plastic surgery people don't realize that like all
Speaker 4: that all that facial hair that's that's pasted on.
Speaker 3: That that is true. Uh.
Speaker 2: We we have a big giveaway, like I said, going
Speaker 2: on tonight, and the Deaf Crocodile giveaway is gonna be big.
Speaker 2: So they are giving away the deluxe edition of Philaday
Speaker 2: as seen here. They're also giving away two other standard
Speaker 2: editions for their animation titles. You're getting a Delta Space
Speaker 2: mission and some of the stars. And now the big
Speaker 2: thing is you were told that you got to be
Speaker 2: live to enter this watching this, and so here is
Speaker 2: how you figure out there's gonna be a banner on
Speaker 2: the screen for the next ever so long, we're gonna
Speaker 2: be having this going until the giveaway post comes up
Speaker 2: in the announcements tonight. And what you're gonna do to enter,
Speaker 2: as you can see here, post on either Twitter or
Speaker 2: Blue Sky anything positive about any physical media release, literally anything.
Speaker 2: Just use the hashtag positivity. Make sure you tag both
Speaker 2: my account on either Twitter or Blue Sky and Deaf
Speaker 2: Crocodile on Twitter or Blue Sky. We would love to
Speaker 2: hear about that. Just anything good. Put some good in
Speaker 2: the world. To start this year, we gotta have some
Speaker 2: sort of a positive spin compared to what we had
Speaker 2: last year.
Speaker 4: For example, I think it's wonderful that people can get
Speaker 4: two different editions of Cannibal to Musical.
Speaker 3: That is pretty wonderful if they can find one of them.
Speaker 2: If you can find one of them, I mean you
Speaker 2: can order it direct and pay a bunch to ship.
Speaker 3: Kid.
Speaker 4: We'll talk about that, won't we, Yes.
Speaker 2: Of course we will. I am stoked on this. We're
Speaker 2: going to talk about some of those rants. Like I said,
Speaker 2: recent pickups and watches. You want to go first on pickups?
Speaker 4: Pickups?
Speaker 3: Yeah, you've got too many piles.
Speaker 4: Gross, A couple of Kenot pickups, Ali Baba and the
Speaker 4: Forty Thieves.
Speaker 3: Nice, nice, nothing.
Speaker 4: No problematic makeup at all. Mhmm. James Whale film by
Speaker 4: Candlelight tro Troy Howarth commentary. Pretty excited about that.
Speaker 3: Nice.
Speaker 4: This just arrived at my doorstep not thirty minutes before
Speaker 4: we were set to start. This is from Orbit DVD,
Speaker 4: the imprint special edition of Sam Peckhampa's The Killer Elite,
Speaker 4: which includes both.
Speaker 3: Cuts incredible release, a really, really great, great release.
Speaker 4: A movie that I have not seen before but have
Speaker 4: always wanted to see, despite the fact that it has
Speaker 4: kind of middling reviews. But this is the what was
Speaker 4: a Studio Canal four K of Red the Sun. Oh
Speaker 4: nice piring Charles Bronson and to Shiramfoon at last it
Speaker 4: will be a good one to watch.
Speaker 3: And then.
Speaker 4: And then last one I'll mention, but I'll we'll probably
Speaker 4: bring it up again as we talk about the goings
Speaker 4: on the past month, Shawk and the Painter. I was
Speaker 4: talking about this with somebody I can't remember who, and
Speaker 4: I had found it on YouTube and I was like, man,
Speaker 4: this would look really good on Blu Ray, and then
Speaker 4: turned out it is on Blu Ray. BFI put it out.
Speaker 4: This is the Sheridan le Fenu story done up as
Speaker 4: a sort of inspired by Christmas ghost Stories with BBC.
Speaker 4: And then finally, probably my best pickup of the season.
Speaker 4: You see next to that Godzilla. That is the full
Speaker 4: Moon video coffin edition of the Subspecies series.
Speaker 3: Okay, so this just came back in print.
Speaker 2: This was only available for a little bit of time
Speaker 2: before on or some Charles band thing. And then they
Speaker 2: start advertising the sale in December using the Coffin set
Speaker 2: in their branding, and then it never goes on sale.
Speaker 4: During the sale, it went on sale for.
Speaker 2: Like eight minutes, and they said it was a mistake,
Speaker 2: and then they righted the price and it was one
Speaker 2: sixty the rest of the time.
Speaker 4: Oh guess who got the good price? You may be wondering,
Speaker 4: is there a figure a cute figuring and brought to
Speaker 4: the vampire in there? Yes? There is? Does it glow
Speaker 4: in the dark? It does?
Speaker 3: I am quite jealous. I wanted it.
Speaker 4: I am a well, I am my wife are huge
Speaker 4: subspecies fans, so yes, very very happy. So those are
Speaker 4: the Oh well, actually, I guess a fort of pre
Speaker 4: Christmas pickup. I got a new media tower nice to hold.
Speaker 4: So Vinegar Syndrome and some partner labels are behind me.
Speaker 4: And then now that means that Severn and some other
Speaker 4: part and Blue Underground.
Speaker 2: So as we talked about seven and some other stuff,
Speaker 2: why don't we talk about this.
Speaker 3: Brenton Timmins says.
Speaker 4: You got to do your pickups.
Speaker 2: Well, hold on, this is important. I think probably people
Speaker 2: probably said it before I arrived, But will you killed it?
Speaker 2: On aerosplus Massacre you want to highlight that? Did that
Speaker 2: happened this month?
Speaker 4: Oh well, thanks for listening.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Highlight of twenty twenty four for me, I was a
Speaker 4: guest on Sam Degan's podcast Aeros plus Massacre. It was
Speaker 4: a two part episode, so if you heard part one,
Speaker 4: part two, I believe is now available to the general masses,
Speaker 4: and we talked about the twelve well there's like six
Speaker 4: or seven official and then some acent ghost stories for
Speaker 4: Christmas on the BBC and uh. It was It was
Speaker 4: really like my first time talking with Sam. I'd never
Speaker 4: met her before. Thanks to mister Rolodex here, we got
Speaker 4: in touch to discuss another matter, a possible project, and
Speaker 4: in the course of talking about that, which my first
Speaker 4: conversation with her, I had COVID and was like I
Speaker 4: was going to cancel the meeting, but I was like, nah,
Speaker 4: I'll just pushed through, and then like I was totally delirious.
Speaker 4: I have no idea what I said. Hopefully I guess
Speaker 4: it wasn't too bad because she she came back and
Speaker 4: was like, hey, you want to be on the podcast,
Speaker 4: and so we did it and it was super fun.
Speaker 4: She was so fun to talk to, really really nice
Speaker 4: person and a lot of laughing and discussion of necrophilia.
Speaker 4: So bringing the new if you haven't heard it yet.
Speaker 2: It is an incredible listen. Everybody needs to go listen
Speaker 2: to Arrows plus Masker two different episodes and yeah, it's
Speaker 2: a really great podcast and made even better by your presence.
Speaker 4: See, I got her to make fun of a partner release,
Speaker 4: an OCN release.
Speaker 2: I wanted to talk about the fact that I had
Speaker 2: this is gonna be ridiculous, but treating physical media as currency.
Speaker 2: I had used sorry Craig dev Crocodile releases to pay
Speaker 2: for some art for the Physical Media Advocate earlier this year.
Speaker 2: Somebody needed slipcovers and so I was happy that the
Speaker 2: two I traded away they just recently did on Diabolic
Speaker 2: DVD and I could replace this is that they're doing.
Speaker 2: So those are my two big pickups of this week.
Speaker 2: I now once again have slipcovers on everything, and I
Speaker 2: think I covered. Oh no, there is one more that
Speaker 2: I did not highlight on here here that I wanted
Speaker 2: to shout out, and we're gonna talk about it later
Speaker 2: tonight because of the Shelf Shock rewind Awards.
Speaker 3: But the big one, the big.
Speaker 2: One for me from this year from Scream Factory, which
Speaker 2: I don't ever give love to. Everybody needs to check
Speaker 2: out their release of Hush four K. This is a
Speaker 2: four disc set, looks incredible, delivers on the special features,
Speaker 2: delivers on two different cuts of the film, both in
Speaker 2: four K. These like this is the release of the
Speaker 2: year for me. From Shout that isn't a Hong Kong
Speaker 2: box set other than those, this is exactly the type
Speaker 2: of quality I would love to see from them. It's
Speaker 2: obviously a great movie, but to see it moved up
Speaker 2: from streaming to physical and have the improvement there is
Speaker 2: mind blowing.
Speaker 3: It is so much better than what we ever saw.
Speaker 2: And now you get this brand new cut that is
Speaker 2: like shockingly creepy with how they did it, and I
Speaker 2: think people need to check that out too, because it's
Speaker 2: not getting enough love. That release is kind of amazing.
Speaker 3: Cool cool.
Speaker 4: I want to point out some people in the show
Speaker 4: confirmed you froze up for a little bit, and I
Speaker 4: just want to reassure the audience that if Ryan loses
Speaker 4: his connection, I am prepared to step in with alternative content.
Speaker 4: I was doing some cleaning and reshuffling of boxes and
Speaker 4: getting some stuff to sell, and so I've got like
Speaker 4: my entire TV collection out, so I'll just show you,
Speaker 4: like my favorite shows.
Speaker 3: Ran disappears.
Speaker 4: I won't be able to do the announcements, but I'll
Speaker 4: just be like, here's a TV show I like, it's good,
Speaker 4: and we'll go through the best episodes.
Speaker 2: I don't understand how I froze when I'm literally hardwired
Speaker 2: into Google Fiber right now.
Speaker 3: But oops, I'll tell you what.
Speaker 4: I know who's doing it too. It's those dogies. I'm
Speaker 4: coming for you.
Speaker 2: Recent watches. I know you got some interesting ones to
Speaker 2: discuss for this week as well.
Speaker 3: What do you got for us? Oh, I don't know.
Speaker 3: You're so prepared.
Speaker 4: I am prepared, actually so again. I watched some newer
Speaker 4: streaming movies, so I'll talk about those at the end,
Speaker 4: but the few that I just picked out, I watched
Speaker 4: the anthology horror film xx right, which is advertised as
Speaker 4: the first horror anthology completely written and directed by women filmmakers.
Speaker 4: But despite that, it's actually quite good.
Speaker 3: I always let it try to like, let it maritate
Speaker 3: for a second.
Speaker 4: No, no, this was awesome. I picked it up because
Speaker 4: Karen Kassama has a film in here. I loved Karen Kassama.
Speaker 4: She was actually the only filmmaker I was familiar with
Speaker 4: until I discovered that Annie Clark is that Annie Clark.
Speaker 4: Saint Vincent directed one of the Schwartzen here, and it's
Speaker 4: actually pretty good. All of them are are very good.
Speaker 4: If you haven't seen x X, I highly recommend it.
Speaker 4: Really really good horror anthology deserves to be talked about
Speaker 4: a little bit more. I think.
Speaker 3: Our buddy Sidney J.
Speaker 4: Fury. I watched The Chris File, the first of the
Speaker 4: what's his name? Harry Palmer? Yes, right, I should never
Speaker 4: forget that name. Mary Palmer films with young Michael Caine,
Speaker 4: kind of like the anti James Bond in the it's
Speaker 4: like he makes mistakes, he gets his ass kicked, yeah,
Speaker 4: like constantly, and it's very sad at the end. But
Speaker 4: I enjoyed it.
Speaker 3: Beautifully shot.
Speaker 4: Too. I've been watching I know you love this. I've
Speaker 4: been watching a lot of pre stardom John Wayne movies,
Speaker 4: and I'm going to share two of them for reasons
Speaker 4: of interest. The first I watched this is from nineteen
Speaker 4: thirty four, directed by George Sherman. No directed by Harry
Speaker 4: Fraser Neath Arizona Skies, not Underneath neath Arizona Skies and
Speaker 4: all of these, these all of films put out a
Speaker 4: bunch of these pre stardom John Wayne movies. All of
Speaker 4: them are under an hour, so they're like perfect when
Speaker 4: you're falling asleep. But this one is particularly interesting because
Speaker 4: here's the story. Eighteen thirty four, John Wayne plays a
Speaker 4: kindly white guy who is the guardian of a Native
Speaker 4: American girl who owns a ship ton of oil land.
Speaker 4: It's basically it's, you know, the stuff that Killers from
Speaker 4: the Killers of the Flower Moon is about. And it
Speaker 4: even has a title card that like mentions the Osage
Speaker 4: and Apache and a couple other tribes who fall under this,
Speaker 4: so it just goes to show you that this was,
Speaker 4: you know, all this shit was common knowledge, right. So basically,
Speaker 4: a bunch of nay or Duwells find out that this
Speaker 4: young Indigenous girl has all this land with oil on it,
Speaker 4: and so they're trying to murder her and John Wayne's
Speaker 4: gotta save her. So that was fun. And then I
Speaker 4: watched Overland Stage Raiders nineteen thirty eight. This is one
Speaker 4: of his eight Three Musketeers movies. This is interesting primarily
Speaker 4: for being the final film of Louise Brooks of Pandora's
Speaker 4: Box Fame. Here she's just like a regular gal in
Speaker 4: the Old West. But that was her final thing.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 4: Then I watched a bunch of stuff on streaming that
Speaker 4: like melted my head. I watched The Last Voyage of
Speaker 4: the Demeter Ah and was like, I was like, this
Speaker 4: was directed by the guy who did Troll Hunter and
Speaker 4: The Autopsy of Jane Doe. Are you've serious? It sucks?
Speaker 4: So then I was like, Okay, the studio must have
Speaker 4: done it to him. Maybe one of his other Hollywood
Speaker 4: movies is good. So I watched Scary Stories to Tell
Speaker 4: in the Dark, which which she also did, and it
Speaker 4: actually was okay, but it had a really stupid ending.
Speaker 4: What's the director's name it is?
Speaker 5: Uh?
Speaker 4: Andre Overdal did troll Hunter and The Autopsy of Jane Do,
Speaker 4: both of which are great. Last Way to the Demeter
Speaker 4: did not care for cool concept. I guess troll Hunter
Speaker 4: is awesome. I think that's might be my favorite found
Speaker 4: footage movie. I watched one of the dumbest horror movies
Speaker 4: ever last night, Countdown. Have you seen this?
Speaker 3: Oh No, it looked so bad. I didn't even try.
Speaker 4: About the app that tells you when it's gonna when
Speaker 4: You're gonna die, and and and you know, you know
Speaker 4: you're in a weird place when Tom Segura plays a
Speaker 4: pivotal role in the movie's plot as a as a
Speaker 4: radio shack employee or whatever it is that's by I
Speaker 4: don't recommend Countdown I saw because you know it was
Speaker 4: my jam I saw anyone but you with Sidney Sweeney.
Speaker 4: And who's the hit man?
Speaker 3: Oh, yes, the Glenn Glenn Glenn Glenn Howardton. No, that's
Speaker 3: the guy that's always Sonny.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Glenn.
Speaker 3: Powell Powell. That's his name.
Speaker 4: We work together, we go Ronnie. So there have been
Speaker 4: four hundred and ten adaptations of Shakespeare to grace the
Speaker 4: silver screen. This was the most profitable Shakespeare adaptation in
Speaker 4: the history of Shakespeare adaptations. It's a loose version of
Speaker 4: Midsummer and I much do about Nothing. There's really only
Speaker 4: two reasons to watch this movie, so I also.
Speaker 3: Have to be canceled again, like the last time you
Speaker 3: were on.
Speaker 4: Last two, last two, the last two I actually liked
Speaker 4: one of them I read about in Fangoria called Don't Move.
Speaker 3: Don't know that one.
Speaker 4: Let's see what can I say without spoiling it. This
Speaker 4: lady's gonna kill herself, and this guy talks her out
Speaker 4: of jumping off the mountain, and then he injects her
Speaker 4: with a paralytic substance so that he can torture her.
Speaker 3: To death.
Speaker 4: And despite the fact that she can't move for most
Speaker 4: of the movies, she manages to get away from him.
Speaker 4: Quite did so I liked it. I like, don't don't,
Speaker 4: don't move. Sender's right, and I was referring to Clinton
Speaker 4: Powell's balls. Uh, Jeremy's also right. There are things to
Speaker 4: like about anyone but you. It's just that I don't
Speaker 4: feel they pull off the unreality of the play. They
Speaker 4: either needed to adapt it to be more realistic or
Speaker 4: go somewhere more fanciful. It's also about like super rich people,
Speaker 4: so I hated them all.
Speaker 3: Was that the what you were supposed to do?
Speaker 4: No, I think you're supposed to think they're cute and want.
Speaker 3: Them to Oh, well, that's not as fun.
Speaker 4: The last movie I watched on which I liked quite
Speaker 4: a bit, was Smile Too. The first Smile I think
Speaker 4: I mentioned before. I took my wife to see and
Speaker 4: it hit her in like every way possible, like she
Speaker 4: could barely make it out of the theater. Smile Too.
Speaker 4: The main character's name is my wife's name, and it's
Speaker 4: like even worse in terms of how it would hit her.
Speaker 4: So I had to tell her not to watch it.
Speaker 4: But I was impressed. I can't remember the name of
Speaker 4: the actress who plays the main character and smile too.
Speaker 3: But she was Naomi Scott.
Speaker 4: Yeah she was just in like some teeny but no,
Speaker 4: she was in Uh she was Jasmine and a live
Speaker 4: action Aladdin. Oh that's which I didn't see. So that's
Speaker 4: why I didn't know who she was.
Speaker 3: I didn't know that.
Speaker 4: So how about how about you just say any again?
Speaker 3: I did. I am trying to remember what I talked
Speaker 3: about last week, so I think the last thing I
Speaker 3: talked about was no s fautu, So I have a
Speaker 3: few it was.
Speaker 2: I mean, I I like the more unpolished Robert Eggers,
Speaker 2: so his first two really hit for me. But Northmen
Speaker 2: and this one.
Speaker 3: Feel a little too hollywood ish.
Speaker 2: But it's still a good movie. It's not it's not
Speaker 2: necessarily bad or anything. It's just yeah, just a little
Speaker 2: too Hollywood. So this week a couple of big ones
Speaker 2: I finally caught up with a Monkey Man from this year,
Speaker 2: the Dev Patel directorial debut action flick, Very very well done.
Speaker 2: We actually watched this as part of the Patreon watch
Speaker 2: along for the month. Was a really great time. Was
Speaker 2: a fun movie to watch as a group and then
Speaker 2: discuss after. Really liked how the.
Speaker 3: Action in it.
Speaker 2: It was important and like culturally relevant with the story
Speaker 2: that they were telling. I was pretty impressed to see
Speaker 2: a lot of the choreography be great. Defatel, hell of
Speaker 2: a director for his first for his first feature. John
Speaker 2: actually is the one that that spurred on this watch.
Speaker 2: As he was leaving this house last week, we talked
Speaker 2: about how I haven't seen Monkey Man yet and I
Speaker 2: needed to, and I said, yeah, we're all gonna watch
Speaker 2: it together with the Patreon this week.
Speaker 3: It was.
Speaker 2: It was a damn good time, pretty pretty decent action.
Speaker 2: I'm not as steeped in like action movie Twitter like
Speaker 2: a lot of people, but if you are not super
Speaker 2: sicklar about all that, I thought it was a really
Speaker 2: well made movie. The only thing that I could say
Speaker 2: really the ending probably a little anti climactic. If you're
Speaker 2: a huge action fan, it was meant to be. It
Speaker 2: feels like it was meant to be a little more
Speaker 2: emotional than like, oh, he's fighting the big bed now.
Speaker 2: So yeah, decent movie. I feel like I feel like
Speaker 2: the ending is gonna make some people upset. Next one,
Speaker 2: I got around to the partner label release of The
Speaker 2: Coffee Table, showed this to my mom and my sister,
Speaker 2: or not my sister, my mom and my wife.
Speaker 3: I was telling my sister about that one.
Speaker 2: I this is a weird one because I walked away
Speaker 2: feeling not not sure if I witnessed a masterpiece or
Speaker 2: something that I hated. And it's just sort of been
Speaker 2: something that I've considered every day since I saw it.
Speaker 2: It's definitely not left my mind. The biggest thing is
Speaker 2: this is a movie about mounting tension, and if you're
Speaker 2: not into that sort of thing, it's not gonna work
Speaker 2: for you. Yes, I know, tension was your high school
Speaker 2: girlfriend's name.
Speaker 3: Will I get it it is?
Speaker 2: It was decent enough. It was a very simple plot. Obviously,
Speaker 2: Adam says, Coffee Table is few. It is in this house.
Speaker 2: My mom watches everything with us. For the most part,
Speaker 2: I will choose some things to not watch with her
Speaker 2: the nights that she's gonna be here, but other than that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, is that movie you posted on Instagram today,
Speaker 4: The Neon Crotch Lady.
Speaker 3: We'll talk about that during announcements today.
Speaker 4: Check this one out.
Speaker 3: The other thing.
Speaker 2: Watched the brand new Nicole Kidman movie Baby Girl this week,
Speaker 2: and it felt like a nice bookend to obviously another
Speaker 2: risque title that she worked early in her career that
Speaker 2: got her a lot of feedback and feeling with eyes
Speaker 2: wide shuts. It wasn't necessarily a similar film, but it
Speaker 2: certainly gives similar vibes.
Speaker 3: I thought it was really well acted.
Speaker 2: I know that there's some I don't know, contrivances in
Speaker 2: the film, but it's it's literally about a cougar CEO
Speaker 2: trying to like explore sexuality with the with the younger
Speaker 2: essentially like intern level colleague, and it's there's a lot
Speaker 2: of stuff that they should have been caught multiple times
Speaker 2: in this movie doing the things that they did. But yeah,
Speaker 2: I really love this. Actually, I thought it was quite
Speaker 2: well written for the most part, as long as you
Speaker 2: suspend the disbelief of them not getting caught. But other
Speaker 2: than that, nice to see, actually, especially a movie really
Speaker 2: take the risk.
Speaker 3: That it did with this putting that out right now, with.
Speaker 2: A lot of like film Twitter and the younger generation
Speaker 2: turning away and getting more prudish towards some of that
Speaker 2: stuff which I will never understand. But yeah, maybe girls
Speaker 2: that's the meds.
Speaker 3: That that might be a part of it. These young
Speaker 3: people ain't got libidos. No more.
Speaker 2: Last thing I'll shout out my kids. We have been
Speaker 2: struggling to find a movie to catch my kids attention
Speaker 2: for like the last three months. Everything that we've showed
Speaker 2: them has not hit Suddenly this week I had the
Speaker 2: brilliant idea to remember that the movie Night of the
Speaker 2: Museum existed, and my kids have fallen in love with it.
Speaker 2: And now we've already watched the first two and my
Speaker 2: wife never knew there was a third one, and I
Speaker 2: guess there's an animated fourth film, and my children have
Speaker 2: already said that these are scheduled. Over the next few
Speaker 2: days we will be finishing out that franchise.
Speaker 3: It's been fun. There's so many faces in both of
Speaker 3: those movies.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and been still er mounts tension.
Speaker 3: Is that the name of the horse all right? Remindered
Speaker 3: anybody that came in late.
Speaker 2: There is the banner going across the bottom to answer
Speaker 2: the Deaf Crocodile giveaway. Please post either on Twitter or
Speaker 2: Blue Sky. Literally anything positive about any physical media release
Speaker 2: doesn't have to be deaf crocodile related anything at all.
Speaker 2: Use the hashtag positivity and tag both the Disconnected and
Speaker 2: Deaf Crocodile. We will be checking in on that and
Speaker 2: Craig will choose us Winter. When we get to that
Speaker 2: point in the show.
Speaker 4: Jeremy says, Damn, I've always had a soft spot for
Speaker 4: Night at the Museum franchise. Yeah, in your skull because
Speaker 4: it never grew.
Speaker 3: Over. Let's repay. I don't know.
Speaker 2: Jeremy is texting me saying that I missed a comment
Speaker 2: about Nicole Kidman.
Speaker 3: Is it just this was a price that I loved,
Speaker 3: Baby Girl Halloween related or Howling Heling three related? Anyways,
Speaker 3: I don't know what's going on. I will leave it
Speaker 3: there because I didn't see anything.
Speaker 4: Speaking of new watches, I was just going up to
Speaker 4: see if Josie DeMarco just put a bunch of was
Speaker 4: that she had seen and was asking if we had
Speaker 4: seen any of them. Geez, only kat bloo you that's
Speaker 4: a bunch of huge list of movies I want to see.
Speaker 4: I definitely want to see the nineteen sixty seven but
Speaker 4: dazzled that Stanley Donnan did well.
Speaker 2: I was going to ask you about she was listening
Speaker 2: some awards for some of her first time watches and
Speaker 2: Strange Days ran away with a bunch of them.
Speaker 3: Have you have you seen Strange Days? Oh? That was that?
Speaker 4: Was that Catherine Bigelow that I saw that back in
Speaker 4: my video store days on a VH. I need to
Speaker 4: watch that again. I don't remember much about it.
Speaker 3: It's a good one. We really need a boutique release
Speaker 3: of that near dark already female trouble.
Speaker 4: That's a good one. Yeah, I've seen that one many times.
Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 4: We had a bunch of these though I've never seen before.
Speaker 4: She's got good taste. There is Jeremy's comment.
Speaker 2: Jeremy says, somehow exploring sexuality feels good in a place
Speaker 2: like this.
Speaker 3: It was an AMD joke.
Speaker 4: Nice, it was a safe space, oh amc.
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, you want to get into any of
Speaker 2: your lists or rants before we do announcements for the week.
Speaker 4: It's your show man, You tell me how you want
Speaker 4: to do things.
Speaker 2: I'm just here to support you. I know that you
Speaker 2: need love ones in a time like this.
Speaker 4: Oh, man, it's been so stressful, and you know, you
Speaker 4: think about it, like, what are we stressing about?
Speaker 3: You know, a lot of bullshit.
Speaker 4: We're we're in a population a global population decline, which
Speaker 4: is great news for the climate. But you know, nothing
Speaker 4: means anything. We're here for a while and then we're gone.
Speaker 4: And so what's important is that we spend time together
Speaker 4: and try to love one another. And I can definitely
Speaker 4: say that I feel positively towards many of you in
Speaker 4: the chat.
Speaker 3: I love the word positivity tonight, just going everywhere.
Speaker 4: Well, I don't just throw around love Willy Nelly like
Speaker 4: some kind of one time tension mounter.
Speaker 3: I love that the word choice is gonna be the
Speaker 3: joke of the night already. Plan nine reciprocates I love
Speaker 3: you too.
Speaker 4: Yeah, no, I love you guys. It's weird like last year.
Speaker 4: And I mean I'm not talking about all the political things.
Speaker 4: I know it upsets people.
Speaker 3: As you wear a rainbow shirt.
Speaker 4: Or any of them. Well, this is this is pure
Speaker 4: virtue signaling on the part of someone. But like you know,
Speaker 4: this came out at a certain hasn't been what are
Speaker 4: we talking about? Oh yeah, you know, twenty twenty four
Speaker 4: was such a weird year. You know, you got all
Speaker 4: the politicking things going on and the general slide into dictatorships,
Speaker 4: but like our democracy is any better? Who can say?
Speaker 4: And then there's you know, all the wars and everything
Speaker 4: and people dying. I won't get into it. You all
Speaker 4: know what I'm talking about. You can, you can google
Speaker 4: and Google actually started a coup. But anyway, all that
Speaker 4: stuff's happening. But then we just think about our own
Speaker 4: day to day lives, right, like all that all that
Speaker 4: matters is the price of eggs and or, if you're
Speaker 4: a vegetarian, the price of legumes. And my point is,
Speaker 4: like the day to day of twenty twenty four was
Speaker 4: this weird combination of like best year ever and worst
Speaker 4: year ever. And we talked about it several times over
Speaker 4: the course of the year, like we were well aware
Speaker 4: that twenty twenty four was both the best in the
Speaker 4: worst year that we were living through. And at least
Speaker 4: I know you and I felt that way many times,
Speaker 4: and I'm sure others have felt about it. And I'm
Speaker 4: getting a call to talk about films, to which I'll reply,
Speaker 4: you know, all of this effects films. This is we're
Speaker 4: getting there, you know, not to mention, take a b
Speaker 4: break if you don't like what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: You and I share a lot of those sentiments about
Speaker 2: physical media too, like it was one of the best
Speaker 2: years of physical media ever.
Speaker 3: Also a lot of not great science and we're going
Speaker 3: to talk about a lot of that after the announcements.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and this is and that's actually a prelude to
Speaker 4: some of the discussion that we're going to have later
Speaker 4: about the future of physical media and the feelings that
Speaker 4: some people in the industry have the future physical medium.
Speaker 4: And you know, all right, I'll dance for whoever wants
Speaker 4: me to dance. What's the first announcement of the week.
Speaker 2: Well, the first announcement of the week. We've already covered
Speaker 2: a bunch of other stuff, so we'll just we'll let
Speaker 2: that be for now.
Speaker 4: But so Silent Animal rules. You know, it's funny like
Speaker 4: one hundred people will say something nice and then one
Speaker 4: person says something mean and it ruins your whole day, you.
Speaker 3: Know what I mean, I get it. But anyway, yeah, yeah, anyways, Yeah,
Speaker 3: we're gonna talk about that the whole sort of spectrum
Speaker 3: of feelings about this last year in physical media, because
Speaker 3: there's a lot of there's a lot of great things,
Speaker 3: a lot of good trends, also some things to worry about,
Speaker 3: so we're gonna discuss those in full obviously deep dive
Speaker 3: on shelf Shock rewind Tonight, we're going to discuss a
Speaker 3: bunch of stuff that Will wants to see on Blue
Speaker 3: Rain above. Possibly.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I got more than ten. I'll tell you that
Speaker 4: as usual.
Speaker 3: All right on that point, let's uh, let's let's get started.
Speaker 4: Uh we guys, Sorry, Beary of the Tick said was
Speaker 4: it you? And I want to say, Tick, if it
Speaker 4: was you, I didn't. I didn't see it.
Speaker 3: We Will wants to say the chad was great.
Speaker 4: Yeah, the chat's great.
Speaker 3: Listen.
Speaker 4: I'm just a person like the rest of you. I
Speaker 4: mean sure, I was on a two part episode of
Speaker 4: aeros Blis Massacre, which was kind of a big deal.
Speaker 4: But other than that, I'm a person just like the
Speaker 4: rest of you, and I'm just happy to be here,
Speaker 4: you know, talking to the regular people. Yeah, yeah, trying
Speaker 4: to stay ground and holding This is what I'm doing
Speaker 4: fireside chats. I'm holding space with all of the lyrics
Speaker 4: in the chat.
Speaker 2: By the way, what I said was no, the chad
Speaker 2: was great, not the chat that was a Charlie's Angels
Speaker 2: reference based on Barry's comment was, what is it me?
Speaker 3: Anyways?
Speaker 2: Oh, let's talk about Things to Do in Denver when
Speaker 2: You're Dead, which is coming on four K from Keno soon.
Speaker 2: Eventually this was a Blu ray release by Imprint in Australia.
Speaker 2: But yeah, we got to come in from four K
Speaker 2: from Keno on four K.
Speaker 3: How do you feel about this movie?
Speaker 4: So I got a story about this that has nothing
Speaker 4: to do with it. The director of Things to Do
Speaker 4: in Denver when You're Dead also did a movie called
Speaker 4: Runaway Jury right two thousand and three with John Cusack,
Speaker 4: Dustin Hoffman, Gene Hackman, and Rachel Wise and so there's
Speaker 4: some other people too, But I had no reason ever
Speaker 4: to see Runaway Jury. And then I'm listening to the
Speaker 4: Black Friday podcast of Seven Films and they're talking to
Speaker 4: this this Claire Donner, who with the perfect name for it,
Speaker 4: specializes in cannibal films, and she did the commentaries for
Speaker 4: some of their cannibal movies and essays and stuff like that,
Speaker 4: and I hadn't I wasn't familiar with her work previously,
Speaker 4: but I thought she was a great interview subject and
Speaker 4: so I followed her on Instagram, like as you do
Speaker 4: these days, to try to make connections and stuff. And
Speaker 4: the first thing that comes across my screen after following
Speaker 4: her is her talking about seeing Runaway Jury because there
Speaker 4: was a beetlejuice joke in it, and she said in
Speaker 4: the post the beatle juke, the beetlejuice joke is not
Speaker 4: funny and also has no reason to be in the movie,
Speaker 4: and that's what intrigued me. So I sat through this
Speaker 4: two hour and fifteen minute long movie, and boy, you
Speaker 4: want to talk about politicking, This was woke before woke
Speaker 4: was woke. It's a bunch of it's a bunch of
Speaker 4: do gooders trying to sue the gun industry. And originally
Speaker 4: the movie was going to be a do gooders suing
Speaker 4: tobacco industry, but the Insider came out while the movie
Speaker 4: was in development, so they were like, oh shit, we
Speaker 4: got to sue somebody else guns, and because it's a fantasy,
Speaker 4: they went But anyway, there's this beetlejuice joke in there
Speaker 4: that has nothing to do with anything, and Claire was right,
Speaker 4: it's not funny, But I saw it anyway, and I'm
Speaker 4: not going to tell you what the joke is, just
Speaker 4: in case someone else can take on the curse. This
Speaker 4: is my version of smile.
Speaker 2: This is the longest story, not about things to do
Speaker 2: in Denver when you're dead. Out things to do in
Speaker 2: Denver when you're dead.
Speaker 4: Well, okay, like like things to do in Denver when
Speaker 4: you're dead. Runaway jury is super derivative, derivative.
Speaker 3: I really enjoy things to do in Denver when you're dead.
Speaker 2: Fun freaking movie, great cast, Andy Garcia, Christopher Walking, Christopher Lloyd,
Speaker 2: Bill Forsyth, Bill None Treat, Williams, Stevie Shemy Fry's if
Speaker 2: I rousa bulk Alk can't speak, Bill Cobbs, Jenny McCarthy,
Speaker 2: Don Chetle, fun fun cast.
Speaker 4: Oh wait, I don't think I've seen this. What am
Speaker 4: I talking about? I was talking about Eric Stoltz movie
Speaker 4: No Idea. Well anyway, same directors.
Speaker 3: All right, let's go to the next time.
Speaker 2: Crack in the World from nineteen sixty five coming on
Speaker 2: Blu Ray from Keno Someday.
Speaker 4: Well, that's the that's how you mount tension. That's the avenue.
Speaker 2: That is the avenue. I know you wanted to talk
Speaker 2: about this. Technicolor Joy tell us about cracking the world.
Speaker 4: I love the tagline. Thank god, it's only a motion picture.
Speaker 3: I haven't seen it.
Speaker 4: Who made this one?
Speaker 3: This is Andrew Martin.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I have no idea, all right, but it looks
Speaker 4: like a disaster movie. That's that's my that's my that's
Speaker 4: my take, considered opinion.
Speaker 2: So science miscalculates underground, Adam bomb explodes Earth's core, and
Speaker 2: the world totters on the brink of destruction.
Speaker 3: How is that no goes straight to tottering. It's quite
Speaker 3: a leap.
Speaker 4: Holy shit. I mean, you know, it's one thing to teeter,
Speaker 4: but you're totter. That's like a whole new level of emergency.
Speaker 2: Not to mention the second tagline, Today's terrifying look into
Speaker 2: what might happen tomorrow.
Speaker 4: Whoa, that's messing with my That's incredible. Crescin wrote this.
Speaker 3: Oh man, all right, going to going to our next one?
Speaker 3: Uh oh, we're just teeing up wheel for jokes all night.
Speaker 3: Paul from twenty eleven getting a four K release from
Speaker 3: Keno soon. This is directed by Greg Mottola, who also
Speaker 3: did Super Bad starring Simon Peg Nick Frost, Uh, what
Speaker 3: do you think about this one?
Speaker 4: I heard it was super bad.
Speaker 3: I haven't seen it.
Speaker 2: This movie is a damn lot of fun. It's not
Speaker 2: a masterpiece, but it's fun for sure. Okay, Stan No,
Speaker 2: nothing revealed on the Paul release yet. I hope they
Speaker 2: do at least a commentary, but we shall see.
Speaker 4: Well, if it's an alien invasion, I would hide my
Speaker 4: crack in the world, otherwise might get probed.
Speaker 3: Posse for a lot of people. This is the announcement
Speaker 3: of the week.
Speaker 2: This is coming on Blu ray from Keno from nineteen
Speaker 2: seventy five four K scan of the OCN starring Kirk Douglas,
Speaker 2: Bruce Dern, Bo Hopkins.
Speaker 3: I'm sure you've seen this one.
Speaker 4: I have not, but I am prepared to be knocked
Speaker 4: off my horse.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I've not seen Posse either, but damnocass.
Speaker 4: Great tagline so far. This episode. Posse begins like most Westerns,
Speaker 4: it ends like none of them. It will knock you
Speaker 4: off your you'll, you'll, you'll.
Speaker 3: Totter, It goes straight to tottering.
Speaker 4: You'll totter all the way off, all right.
Speaker 2: Coming in late February from the seventh site. It'll get
Speaker 2: a March twenty fifth wide release. They are releasing a
Speaker 2: Blu ray collection of the Blood Island Films. Now, this
Speaker 2: is surprising because many of you might remember they released
Speaker 2: the complete Blood Island Films. What four years ago, three,
Speaker 2: three and a half years ago, five years ago, something
Speaker 2: like that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it came with it came with a drink stir
Speaker 4: and a recipe for sure did for a mixed drink.
Speaker 4: I can't remember the name of it, but I tried.
Speaker 2: It came with a Blood Island swizzle stick.
Speaker 4: That's right.
Speaker 3: Uh, this is coming out.
Speaker 2: And what they said here is all four films have
Speaker 2: been scanned, uncut in four K with improved and audio.
Speaker 2: There are no new special features, but all of the
Speaker 2: extras carryovers. So this whole package now is everything that
Speaker 2: was released in the first box set in a smaller
Speaker 2: package for your shelf at a cheaper price point, in
Speaker 2: higher quality.
Speaker 4: I listened to the Severn podcasts today actually, in which
Speaker 4: they discussed this, and it sounds like an almost complete
Speaker 4: restoration of one of the films, I forget which one,
Speaker 4: and then significant improvements to the other three. So listening
Speaker 4: to Andrew for Toato talk about it sounded like this
Speaker 4: is more than just a cash grab, like it's an
Speaker 4: actual YEP restoration that happily is half the width of
Speaker 4: their original box set. And as Craig was pointing out,
Speaker 4: my new towers are full, making room might be worth it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the the shelf space argument is a huge argument nowadays.
Speaker 2: I I kind of want to get this for sure.
Speaker 2: It sounds like a pretty big undertaking. And I had
Speaker 2: heard that they might have been working on this, so
Speaker 2: this this must have been something they've been doing for
Speaker 2: quite some time.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 4: I gotta tell you, and I say this not shilling
Speaker 4: because I don't have anybody to shill for because.
Speaker 3: You wear a Severn shirt. I just want to point out.
Speaker 4: Well, it just I just have to man.
Speaker 3: Odd.
Speaker 4: But no, I was like, I was looking at the
Speaker 4: nominees for the Shelf Shock Rewind and like thinking about
Speaker 4: the annual slate. Yeah, it's gonna be a tough call.
Speaker 4: Severn had an incredible year, but so did you know
Speaker 4: several other of the big, the big, big labels. It's uh,
Speaker 4: it's going to be hard to decide.
Speaker 2: Even some of the smaller slate labels that one is
Speaker 2: really really close to Cold wants to know. Think we'll
Speaker 2: see update versions of the hemispheres. Vampire films. I'm gonna
Speaker 2: guess no on those ones unless they didn't say anything
Speaker 2: on the podcast episode.
Speaker 3: I assume no. I mean no, they didn't. As far
Speaker 3: as I'm aware, they had the best elements at the time.
Speaker 3: I don't see those getting a.
Speaker 2: Big update like this ever, right, I could see them
Speaker 2: maybe getting like a region B release eventually, but we'll see.
Speaker 4: They did say some things that made me pretty excited
Speaker 4: about twenty twenty.
Speaker 3: Five though, Yeah, always excited about their stuff.
Speaker 4: And those things both begin with f Franco and.
Speaker 3: Frost Ah more Frost. Oh yeah, nice.
Speaker 2: All right, let's go to our next one, which is
Speaker 2: promise her anything from nineteen sixty six coming on Blue
Speaker 2: from Keno someday eventually. Brand new HD Masters starring Warren Batty, Leslie,
Speaker 2: Karen Coron, Robert Cummings, directed by Arthur Hiller.
Speaker 3: I love Leslie, Leslie Karen. All right, I have not
Speaker 3: seen this. Looks like.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it looks pretty typical of sixties rom cons, harass
Speaker 4: an assault until she gives in.
Speaker 3: Promise her anything but take her to our picture first,
Speaker 3: all right?
Speaker 4: Steffino seventy five says it's not pronounced Karen, please regale
Speaker 4: me with the correct pronunciation.
Speaker 3: Cattro?
Speaker 4: Is it corone?
Speaker 3: I don't know, I just speak enough.
Speaker 2: Oh that was pretty accurate, Stan says Karen.
Speaker 3: All right, fucking looking it up.
Speaker 2: Ronnie wants to know why Warren Batty looks like James Garner. There, yeah,
Speaker 2: I could see that a little bit.
Speaker 4: Huh well the Internet, says Karen.
Speaker 3: Do you hear that? Yes, it's Steppino says.
Speaker 2: Love, you millennials not knowing how to produce older actors' names.
Speaker 2: For the record, I believe Will is firmly gen x
Speaker 2: as he literally can't figure out how to unmute.
Speaker 4: No, I know how to ummute. I was listening to
Speaker 4: a French guy. The French guy said keron okay, but
Speaker 4: the English person said ken Well the French guys did.
Speaker 3: So, Thanks Adam, super Love.

Speaker 2: was speaking about on our show. And then here is

Speaker 4: Laughing at the chat. Yeah, very excited to see this.
Speaker 4: The teas that we got last summer was pretty pretty awesome.
Speaker 3: Oh.
Speaker 4: I forgot to say, since stand mentioned it, I did
Speaker 4: watch Did I say that last time I watched Alien.
Speaker 3: Romulus you did not update us on that.
Speaker 4: No, Okay, so I've now completed the series. I liked
Speaker 4: the class commentary and there's a great sequence of Zero Gravity,
Speaker 4: Alien Blood like she blows away a couple of aliens
Speaker 4: and then turns off the gravity so their acid blood
Speaker 4: is floating and she has to like go through it.
Speaker 4: So the porn parody is just gonna be awesome.
Speaker 3: Alien Bramulus.
Speaker 4: Oh that's awful.
Speaker 3: There's probably something better we could do there. What's going on? Sam? Well?
Speaker 4: Anyway, I didn't hate it. I had expected it to
Speaker 4: be scarier and bloodier, but it wasn't. But I would
Speaker 4: put it in the top three, top four of the series.
Speaker 2: Nice all right, that was deaf crocodized titles.
Speaker 4: I can't wait to see this shit.
Speaker 3: Man, it's it's It looks really good. Yeah.
Speaker 4: I wonder what emotions they're going to be. I mean,
Speaker 4: they'll all be new to me.
Speaker 2: Yes, Alien rem your boss, Alien Remulus.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I figured that's where people are gonna go.
Speaker 3: Mine was the softcore version. I guess probably. Uh. Hey.
Speaker 2: February third, DBC in the UK is releasing Gavin and
Speaker 2: Stacey the Complete Collection for all you James Corden fans.
Speaker 4: Oh, celebrate the band entire catalog.
Speaker 2: Supposedly, and I'm not gonna say I've ever seen this,
Speaker 2: but supposedly they just did an updated like Christmas Special
Speaker 2: and it made a bunch of people like genuinely weepy
Speaker 2: because it was so good.
Speaker 3: Uh, I don't know, I'm just saying.
Speaker 4: Whatever. Well, that's a that's a specialty of British sitcoms,
Speaker 4: as they'll do like a special or a final episode
Speaker 4: that like manipulates people into being sad. I mean they
Speaker 4: do that and everything from Blackadder to the Office.
Speaker 3: You know, yeah, I mean yeah.
Speaker 4: I will say this, and I don't want to be
Speaker 4: controversial or anything, but I fucking hate James Gordon. I've
Speaker 4: never met him, I never will meet him, and like
Speaker 4: maybe he's a great person in real life, don't really care.
Speaker 4: Like I I have a visceral reaction to his voice
Speaker 4: and his and this is just the sight of him
Speaker 4: that makes me angry. Angry is not the right word.
Speaker 4: I think I actually need to watch The Cathedral of
Speaker 4: New Emotions to get the right vocabulary for how I
Speaker 4: feel about James Gordon.
Speaker 3: All right, I are do we dig into him enough?
Speaker 3: I mean probably not.
Speaker 4: There's all kinds of you know how, like the news
Speaker 4: media likes to write stories taking down celebrities because that's
Speaker 4: how the news media spends its time. So there have
Speaker 4: been plenty of takedowns of James Gordon. I don't need
Speaker 4: to pile on like right now. My main concern is,
Speaker 4: you know, the reputation of Blake Lively. That's what I've
Speaker 4: been you know, fuck the elections, what about Blake Lively?
Speaker 4: Is she okay?
Speaker 3: Just discuss that on another show. Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, And actually I'm I don't want to don't get
Speaker 4: this twisted. I'm team Lively. I have no doubt she
Speaker 4: is telling the truth about what happened.
Speaker 2: Yeah, when you're making those kinds of demands that it's
Speaker 2: pretty obvious.
Speaker 4: I like Blake Lively.
Speaker 3: Yeah, she just kicks up. Yeah, all right, let's keep
Speaker 3: going Fun City Editions. This is the next one, Baby
Speaker 3: It's You from nineteen eighty three.
Speaker 2: Coming on Blu Ray in twenty twenty five from Fun
Speaker 2: City with Rosanna Arquette Vincent'spano.
Speaker 3: You Ran Away. I feel like you wanted to talk
Speaker 3: about this one.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I do, Okay, I love Baby It's You. It
Speaker 4: is so well talk about getting emotional, like you will
Speaker 4: laugh and cry and it will be a totally authentic reaction.
Speaker 4: Because John Sales is a masterful filmmaker. The performances are
Speaker 4: absolutely amazing. I'm so glad that this is getting a
Speaker 4: real release, a real boutique release, and I call upon
Speaker 4: the rest of the boutiques to give us Brother from

Speaker 4: in high definition, Secret of Roan Nish. The list goes
Speaker 4: on and on. I love John Sales. I love this
Speaker 4: movie in particular. It's a great love story coming to
Speaker 4: an age movie. Plus stando, somebody who's in it? I
Speaker 4: want twenty twenty five to be a Sales of Sants
Speaker 4: Well said, that's it. Uh, yes, maybe it's you. Was
Speaker 4: released on Olive God like a decade to go now.
Speaker 4: It was not a good restoration or anything like that.
Speaker 4: This is gonna be much much better, guaranteed. Oh yeah, Ronnie,
Speaker 4: give us Leanna one of the you know what cinematograph.
Speaker 4: If they had done Leanna instead of Go Fish, it
Speaker 4: would have sold better. But you should buy Go Fish too.
Speaker 4: It's a good movie. I stand for Goldfish, Go Go
Speaker 4: Go Fish. Also Goldfish.
Speaker 3: Oh well, that was a lot, all right.
Speaker 2: Next title Wicked from this last year's We got some

Speaker 2: Walmart exclusive four KSE deal book a standard four K
Speaker 2: Blu Ray DVD. There there is that giant limited edition
Speaker 2: gifts that they're doing as well. But the biggest thing
Speaker 2: is when these things make money, they actually sometimes put
Speaker 2: attention and care into the extras. This thing is gonna
Speaker 2: have a fucked ton of them. You've got two different
Speaker 2: commentaries coming on this, a full single long version, a
Speaker 2: bunch of deleted and extended scenes, a good like three
Speaker 2: or four different featurettes. This is the way to do
Speaker 2: a studio release. Love that they're adding so much onto this, Okay,
Speaker 2: I mean just because it may not be for you,
Speaker 2: I'm glad that they're putting attention into a studio.
Speaker 4: Physical Yeah, but because it's not for me, I don't care.

Speaker 4: the crushing poverty rampant illiteracy and uh and uh abuse
Speaker 4: of the extractive coal companies. Other than that, it's a
Speaker 4: wonderful place. No, I love Kentucky. I used to go to.
Speaker 4: You just go to Louis for the cult, for culture.
Speaker 4: When you need culture, you go to Louis. The rest
Speaker 4: of the time, you just try to.
Speaker 3: Survive, all right. That is truth be told.
Speaker 2: Next up Keno up to their Deep Star six release
Speaker 2: to go four K soon.
Speaker 3: This is a good movie. I think this might be
Speaker 3: Sean Cunningham's best movie. How do you feel about Deep
Speaker 3: Star six.
Speaker 4: It's probably his best movie. It's a good one. I
Speaker 4: need to see it again. I haven't seen it since
Speaker 4: the VHS days and now it's four K wow soon.
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah. This comes from the year of Aquatic Hore
Speaker 3: of course, nineteen eighty nine when some of the biggest
Speaker 3: ones came out. Yeah, damn, good movie.
Speaker 2: I think most people that have never seen it, I
Speaker 2: think you'd appreciate it. And now if you don't have
Speaker 2: the other Blue, this is the best time to get it, so.
Speaker 4: You can now get three. Sean S. Cunningham films in
Speaker 4: four K his segment and Trapped ashes, Deep Star six
Speaker 4: and for the thirteenth. I can't think of many filmmakers
Speaker 4: who have that high a percentage of their filmography so
Speaker 4: lovingly Rema.
Speaker 3: Good point, how many of his?
Speaker 4: Yeah, because he hasn't. He didn't direct that many movies. No,
Speaker 4: he didn't, Like he's got more than a scraven at
Speaker 4: this point. That's not true, because I think I think
Speaker 4: he's tired.
Speaker 3: Never mind.
Speaker 2: Next, The convert from twenty twenty three getting a Blu
Speaker 2: Ray release in the UK from Vertigo Releasing The Stars
Speaker 2: Guy Pierce. This is coming on January twenty seventh, And
Speaker 2: this one's supposedly pretty good. I don't think he's been
Speaker 2: available in the US much yet, says when a lay
Speaker 2: preacher played by gay Guy Pierce, not Gay Pierce, Guy
Speaker 2: Pierce arrives at a British settlement in eighteen thirties New Zealand,
Speaker 2: his violent past is drawn into question and his faith
Speaker 2: put to the test as he finds himself caught in
Speaker 2: the middle of a bloody war between Maori tribes. Yeah,
Speaker 2: this is supposedly decent.
Speaker 4: Patres are my favorite kind.
Speaker 3: Especially when played by Gaye Pierce. Yeah, that dude's handsome man. Yeah,
Speaker 3: he's done some good stuff.
Speaker 4: I'll give it up.
Speaker 3: Oh that's right. Apple TV Plus doing their free preview
Speaker 3: weekend this weekend. What do they have.
Speaker 2: I kind of want to jest and say not a lot,
Speaker 2: but the truth is I just don't have Apple TV,
Speaker 2: so I don't see it. They've got that Ted Lasso show,
Speaker 2: They've got that Kurt Russell's Kid and the Godzilla show.
Speaker 4: Oh that is terrible, dude, I tried. It's a boring.

Speaker 4: this before.
Speaker 3: Well, the first season is getting a Blu Ray release,
Speaker 3: so we might have talked about it for that.
Speaker 4: That's the one where you go to work and you're
Speaker 4: one person and then you get off of work and
Speaker 4: you're a different person.
Speaker 3: That's just America.
Speaker 4: Yeah, sounded like a great shot.
Speaker 2: A bunch of people love an Apple TV Plus. It
Speaker 2: sounds like in the chat, well, only in Tragedy of Macbeth.
Speaker 2: I didn't know they had Tragedy of Macbeth.
Speaker 4: It's got at ted Lasso, it's true.
Speaker 2: Yeah and yeah, And like CloudMade said, I've I've heard

Speaker 4: sympathetic to some commenters on various boards who are like,
Speaker 4: I'd like to see Virtuosity, but like sixty bucks or whatever.

Speaker 2: Shuttle Vonnaguet reference with every title announcement.
Speaker 4: Huh, I think you meant subtle? Yes he did, which
Speaker 4: does Do you know what that word means? Cidny oh Man,
Speaker 4: what's the subtle Vonneguet reference? I guess it's too subtle
Speaker 4: for me, so it goes Yeah.
Speaker 3: I have not seen this one. I don't think this
Speaker 3: one eluded me.
Speaker 4: It slips through the crack in the world.
Speaker 2: At least it's only a motion picture. All right, we'll
Speaker 2: get We'll go to our next one. Ranged The Confessions
Speaker 2: of a Necrophile in four K from Vinegar Syndrome. This month,
Speaker 2: this one is newly scanned and restored. In four K.

Speaker 2: a commentary with Tom Savigni, commentary with Richard Harlan Smith,
Speaker 2: interview with the special effects artist Tom Savigni, Brian Smiegel,
Speaker 2: interview with Nightmare and USA author Stephen Thrower. Archival documentary.
Speaker 2: And this is one that's had a few releases before,
Speaker 2: but if you've never had it before, this looks to
Speaker 2: be the one to get play on the ED Game story.
Speaker 3: How do you feel about to Range?
Speaker 4: This is like the closest to the actual ED Game story. Yes,
Speaker 4: I really like this movie. I'm very excited about this release.
Speaker 4: My big Christmas present from my wife was permission to
Speaker 4: renew my subscription, and I was not sure if I
Speaker 4: was going to do it even with permission, But then
Speaker 4: when I saw this, I was like, Man, I'm doing it.
Speaker 4: I'm doing it. Bringing in the politics. Look at it
Speaker 4: goes with the title. Look at that. I love to
Speaker 4: arrange though, Like, if you haven't seen Arranged, I highly recommend. Yes,
Speaker 4: Blossom was in Home alone. He's deranged in this movie.
Speaker 4: He's estranged in.
Speaker 3: That perfect all right.
Speaker 2: This next one is pretty big for a Bunch of People,
Speaker 2: Curse of the Devil, The Vampire's Night Orgy, and Demon
Speaker 2: Witch Child from nineteen seventy three nineteen seventy five, all
Speaker 2: coming in a three disc region free set. Paul Nashy
Speaker 2: obviously a big one for many fans of physical media.
Speaker 2: These are presented their original Spanish language soundtracks with newly
Speaker 2: translated English subs along with their English language dubs. On these,
Speaker 2: You've got some interviews on this, including with Angel Sala
Speaker 2: from the Citrus Film Festival. Sergio Molina, son of Paul Nashy,
Speaker 2: is interviewed as well. You get some alternate scenes. Yeah,
Speaker 2: this looks like a mighty big release, especially for somebody
Speaker 2: like will.
Speaker 3: Oh.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm super excited to get rid of my old DVD.
Speaker 4: Big fan of Chris of the Devil. Haven't seen the
Speaker 4: other two, but hey, looks great. Vampire's Night Orgy, which
Speaker 4: I mean it's to be assumed. I don't really need
Speaker 4: to specify what time of day it's going to be.
Speaker 3: Yeah, this looks like a fun release.
Speaker 4: I just say Vampire's Ergy and people will get the drift.
Speaker 2: It doesn't happen at eleven am, right, all right, that
Speaker 2: is the Nashy title. Next up the Seventh Curse and
Speaker 2: which from Nepal double feature coming from Vinegar Syndrome. Here
Speaker 2: is the outer box and the inner slip cover that
Speaker 2: will be on this one. The Seventh Curse got a
Speaker 2: hard box release from eighty eight Films just a few
Speaker 2: years ago.
Speaker 3: And that was a.
Speaker 2: Perhaps slightly blown out of proportion, but slightly controversial release
Speaker 2: based on the quality of the audio. And this one
Speaker 2: is not only including a second film, but this is
Speaker 2: newly color graded and restored by VS from the studio
Speaker 2: supplied masters. This has a new commentary by Frank Jang,
Speaker 2: newly translated English subs new commentary with Sam Degan and
Speaker 2: Mike White. Mike is from the Projection Booth podcast. And
Speaker 2: then we all know Sam of course. And then on
Speaker 2: the second title, which from Nepal, Frank Jang also did
Speaker 2: a commentary for that one. There's a visual essay by
Speaker 2: Sam Deagan on here as well. There's a lot that
Speaker 2: could have made this release, I think a little bit better,
Speaker 2: but it looks like a nice double feature. There's a
Speaker 2: Vinegar Syndrom had a chance to get some pieces from
Speaker 2: the laser disc that you can't get anywhere else that
Speaker 2: would have been on here, and they just simply chose not.
Speaker 3: To do it.
Speaker 2: Could have been a nice release, and it's still gonna
Speaker 2: be a great release. Just could have been a modicum better.
Speaker 4: Well, I guess it depends on how you feel about
Speaker 4: the modicum. I do have the eighty eight film's version,
Speaker 4: but it sounds like this is going to be a
Speaker 4: fairly substantial upgrade, plus the second.
Speaker 2: Film and on top of that eighty eight films. We're
Speaker 2: gonna be talking about it. But they're also releasing which
Speaker 2: from Nepauls soon on its own, just in case you
Speaker 2: have the old seventh Curse and you don't want to upgrade.
Speaker 4: Damn, and I now have a modicum of of prevarication.
Speaker 3: Well at least you're getting this as part of the
Speaker 3: sub anyways.
Speaker 4: Did I say that right perverication? Nope, that's not what
Speaker 4: that means. Well you tried, I used that word wrongly.
Speaker 2: Some new merch went up at the same time. They
Speaker 2: are offering this real school rainbow holographic screen print the
Speaker 2: same design in a glow in the Dark T shirt.
Speaker 2: They also put the design on a skate deck that
Speaker 2: sold out within minutes, which is crazy.
Speaker 3: Virtual insanity sticker.
Speaker 2: That particularly been using to advertise this the subscriber week.
Speaker 2: And then they also put out a hockey puck, an
Speaker 2: actual hockey puck.
Speaker 4: For all the active vincen Vans out there.
Speaker 3: For skate decks and hockey pucks.
Speaker 4: Yeah, before watching movies all day, I think I'll go
Speaker 4: out and break my knees.
Speaker 2: Yes, Partner labels are next already. Okay, so Vinegar Center stuff.
Speaker 2: First off, how do you feel about the opening slate?
Speaker 2: We're gonna talk about like the year teases and all
Speaker 2: that soon, but how do you feel about January starting
Speaker 2: the year off?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 3: I mean.
Speaker 4: Three really good titles in my view, I like Seventh
Speaker 4: Curse a lot, and as I indicated, a love Curse
Speaker 4: of the Devil and Deranged so and because I don't
Speaker 4: pay attention to any hints or anything, I had no
Speaker 4: idea any of them we're going to be announced, So
Speaker 4: it was a very pleasant surprise virtuosity. You know, I
Speaker 4: feel the same as Congo. I'm glad it's out there.
Speaker 4: Like Congo, it's got an actor in a small role
Speaker 4: that I really like. So yeah, I never really paid
Speaker 4: much attention to the merch, but I mean people who
Speaker 4: are into that great.
Speaker 2: You know, them putting out six titles in January is
Speaker 2: a pretty interesting sign. It was three releases, six titles,
Speaker 2: triple feature, double feature, the single film. That's nice for
Speaker 2: subscribers obviously to be able to get that much bang
Speaker 2: for your buck. Already, it looks decent. We'll talk more
Speaker 2: about the full year slate in just a little bit,
Speaker 2: but we got all these partner label things to discuss. Yeah,
Speaker 2: first is The Canyons from twenty thirteen. This is a
Speaker 2: Paul Schrader film written by Brett Easton Ellis, starring Lindsay Loewen,
Speaker 2: James Dean man Brooks, Gus van Zant. This is one
Speaker 2: I've not been able to see, but I've been dying
Speaker 2: to see this.
Speaker 4: This was shot in the crack in the world.
Speaker 3: In the canyon.
Speaker 4: Well, so this had a previous blu ray that's out print.
Speaker 4: You know, this was this was the movie that people made,
Speaker 4: you know, made fun of this was this was kind
Speaker 4: of like Paul Schrader's like totally lost it. But now
Speaker 4: there's like a Schrader assance And I think I'm just
Speaker 4: gonna say tons of filmmakers' names and add assance at
Speaker 4: the end of it. But there really has been a
Speaker 4: reappraisal of Paul Schrader's work lately. And last year what
Speaker 4: do we have? American Jigglow? Four K? Touch right touch
Speaker 4: came on cinematograph, something else came out.
Speaker 3: To one of uh, one of his classics on shout
Speaker 3: got a four K? Right?
Speaker 4: Which one? I forget? I know cat people already had
Speaker 4: a four K. Well, anyway, point is a bunch of
Speaker 4: this stuff has been and re released, and he's got
Speaker 4: that new movie what's it called On Your Knees or something?
Speaker 4: What's it called?
Speaker 3: It's definitely not called On your Knees?
Speaker 4: The new one with Richard Gear Yeah.
Speaker 3: Uh oh Canada, Oh Canada?
Speaker 4: What did I say? On your knee?
Speaker 3: I have no idea.
Speaker 2: Hardcore came out last year too, that's right? What not
Speaker 2: on four K? Just blu Ray from Kino? Oh blue Collar?
Speaker 3: I think was the four K that's been reapprised.
Speaker 4: Blue Collar got a four K? I just have the
Speaker 4: twilight time of hardcore?
Speaker 3: I think? So I may be wrong? What Okay, it
Speaker 3: was not four K? I'm sorry?
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, get out of here. But anyway, I have
Speaker 4: not read a single good review of the canyons, But
Speaker 4: I do plan on checking this out.
Speaker 2: It's up in the air. Some people love it, some
Speaker 2: people hate it all right. That is from IFC. By
Speaker 2: the way, they were the ones that put out the
Speaker 2: original Blu ray, and that one out of.
Speaker 3: Print, and so now it's just back.
Speaker 4: In print, okay, with a flipcover, with the.
Speaker 2: Slipcover and new extras, new video interview with Paul Schrader,
Speaker 2: New audio commentary booklet with an essay by Mitchell Beauprey
Speaker 2: from Letterbox who's been on the show. There's a lot. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it's a fully, fully released, brand new version.
Speaker 3: Man, this is wild.
Speaker 2: Bleeding Skull is here with a four K release of
Speaker 2: Disembodied from nineteen ninety eight. For some reason, the back
Speaker 2: of the slipcover did not make it out on my Instagram,
Speaker 2: so I can't share that. But this says indebted to
Speaker 2: David Lynch's Eraserhad Edward's Plan nine from Outter Space and
Speaker 2: Frank Candelauder's Brain Damage. Disembodied is a cinematic acid trip
Speaker 2: that blurs the line between horror and experimental art. The
Speaker 2: story follows Connie Sprout's, a gothed out scientist who checks
Speaker 2: into the decrepit Grand Hotel to continue her experiments and
Speaker 2: turn people into slime before eating them. Shot in Reno
Speaker 2: by director William Kirsten on gritty sixteen millimeter film. This
Speaker 2: DIY Passion project is filled with stop motion effects, gory,
Speaker 2: bodyhore and surrealist visuals. This will have a two disc release,
Speaker 2: one four K, one blu ray. We've got a commentary
Speaker 2: with the director William Kirston, moderated by Lance from Unsung Horror,
Speaker 2: Friend of the show. We got an interview with Anastasia
Speaker 2: Wolverton and Hanna Nice who are in the film. We've
Speaker 2: got the Japanese VHS introduction and trailer. You've also got
Speaker 2: the VHS version on this. There's also a twenty sixteen
Speaker 2: director's cut and a booklet behind the scenes photos and
Speaker 2: an essay by Anni Choi from Bleeding Skull.
Speaker 4: Definitely want to see this, but I have a question
Speaker 4: if it was shot on gritty sixteen milimeter film, which
Speaker 4: I assume is cheaper than regular Yes, onn gritty sixteen milimeter, Like, personally,
Speaker 4: I'll shell out for the non gritty sixteen milimeter, but
Speaker 4: I'm not sure what the point of a four K restoration.
Speaker 2: Man, So I can share in that because one of
Speaker 2: the perks if you sign up for the Disconnected Patreon
Speaker 2: is getting into the discord. And one of the members
Speaker 2: of the discord is Justin the Liberty from Vinegar Syndrome,
Speaker 2: who said that he helped produce this disc and helped
Speaker 2: talk them into four K because the colors in this
Speaker 2: deserve the HDR and it looked really great, and so
Speaker 2: they figured an upgrade to four K.
Speaker 3: Would be well worth it for that fact alone.
Speaker 4: Hmm, well, I think Justin's will lifting too much money
Speaker 4: ont of my wallet.
Speaker 3: It was a pretty decent pun.
Speaker 4: But I'm definitely into this.
Speaker 2: Next is Dream Team, coming from Yellow Veil Pictures. This
Speaker 2: is a twenty twenty four film and this is an
Speaker 2: absurdist homage to nineties basic cable TV thrillers.
Speaker 3: This sounds kind of interesting. Commentary go ahead.
Speaker 4: I gotta say, when I first saw the title, I
Speaker 4: was like the Michael Keaton movie.
Speaker 3: But unfortunately though, but it sounds it sounds fun.
Speaker 4: Go ahead, say what it is.
Speaker 2: Commentary with the filmmakers, are gonna be honest, Interview with
Speaker 2: the visual effects artists, Interview with the composers, Interview with
Speaker 2: the executive producer, theatrical trailer essay by Mark ash and
Speaker 2: that is that. Yeah, the tag for this one. But
Speaker 2: by the way, a postmodern softcore fever dream.
Speaker 4: Well fevers will do that to you.
Speaker 3: They are speaking right to will with that huckle is
Speaker 3: here from the canalog. This is coming on Blu Ray
Speaker 3: this month and this is a four K digital restoration
Speaker 3: using the original image negative and the original digital sound master,
Speaker 3: carried out by the National Film Institute of Hungary. This
Speaker 3: will have an interview with some of the filmmakers, co writers,
Speaker 3: some short films, booklet with an essay by Josh Hurtado.
Speaker 3: The complete script is on this as well. And that
Speaker 3: is a hell of a slipcover. When you realize those
Speaker 3: are two pigs doing.
Speaker 4: It, I'll be a huckleby. Of course the script is
Speaker 4: in Hungarians, so yeah, I want to have your Google
Speaker 4: translate and I assume it's I assume it's an English
Speaker 4: translation to the script.
Speaker 3: Yes, yes it is.
Speaker 2: And I've only seen great reviews of this movie. This
Speaker 2: is supposed to be incredible.
Speaker 4: You know, I'm not a religious man, but a lot
Speaker 4: of people are. And I gotta say the physical act
Speaker 4: of copulation, regardless of species, is very funny and awkward.
Speaker 3: I was so waiting for you to say, I don't
Speaker 3: I don't know, but this film looks kind of rum No.
Speaker 4: No, I'm just saying, like, if God is, if God
Speaker 4: is like omniscient and omni benevolent and omnipotent, why do
Speaker 4: we do it like this?
Speaker 3: Why?
Speaker 4: Why are those why are those pigs doing that? Why
Speaker 4: do they have to go through that? I mean, look,
Speaker 4: I'm not knocking it. In fact, I am knocking it.
Speaker 4: I'm knocking any chance I get, I'm knocking it. But
Speaker 4: I'm just saying it's awkward at times. It seems like
Speaker 4: there could be a more I don't know.
Speaker 3: Uh anyway, miracles.
Speaker 4: My point is the miracle of life is awkward.
Speaker 3: Uh. Speaking of wow, what a weird transition this is
Speaker 3: about to be? Uh? Speaking of the miracle of life.

Speaker 2: about five seconds and then you are very sad. So
Speaker 2: this is a super interesting release of early work that
Speaker 2: came out of Canada that looks really great, which I'm
Speaker 2: stooked that they got some of these these partnerly has
Speaker 2: been able to get bigger and bigger titles, so this
Speaker 2: one says. Keanu Reeves gave his first lead performance in
Speaker 2: nineteen eighty five's One Step Away, establishing the charm and
Speaker 2: vulnerability of his beloved screen persona while exploring the pitfalls
Speaker 2: of juvenile delinquency. The film was directed by Robert Fortier,
Speaker 2: a season documentarian venturing deeper to fiction filmmaking following the
Speaker 2: success of his daredevil stunt driving doc The Devil at
Speaker 2: Your Heels. This release collects three of the films he
Speaker 2: directed for the NFB's Family Crisis series, including What Is
Speaker 2: Keanu's Essential debut vividly evoking the spirit of the After
Speaker 2: School Special and its eighties heyday.
Speaker 3: This is so rad, totally so. This is the kind
Speaker 3: of thing that would never get a release.
Speaker 2: These are scanning restored in two K from the sixteen
Speaker 2: millimeters interpositives. We got a new commentary with Paul and
Speaker 2: Jason that are that are on a bunch of the
Speaker 2: Canadian International titles. We got some new interviews on this.
Speaker 2: We've got a bunch of interviews.
Speaker 3: Actually, there is some shorts that are on this, including
Speaker 3: another Family short. Uh, there is so many that is
Speaker 3: hard to cover everything. A book featuring and reproduction of
Speaker 3: the Family Crisis series, viewers guide like that put out
Speaker 3: there for everybody.
Speaker 4: You're breaking up again? Uh Am, I fixed now?
Speaker 3: Are we good?
Speaker 4: You are fixed now for the moment.
Speaker 2: Well, that's good because I do have more from Canadian
Speaker 2: International Pictures that I want to share. The big thing
Speaker 2: is they announced that they have a newsletter. You can
Speaker 2: go to Canadian Dash International dot com. They posted that
Speaker 2: I believe just today or maybe even yesterday. Uh, they
Speaker 2: are going to be encouraging people to sign up so
Speaker 2: that they can tease some stuff coming up. And just
Speaker 2: for everybody watching the show. They wanted to give a
Speaker 2: couple of quick teases for that. The big thing is

Speaker 2: so look forward to that. The other big thing is

Speaker 2: more like better bang for your bucks type of discs
Speaker 2: when going through them, there's so much on their.
Speaker 3: On their discs.
Speaker 4: Check out the Hard Part begins.
Speaker 2: One of Will's favorites, all right. Next up, the Last Skirk.
Speaker 4: Is do a double feature with Jacker.
Speaker 2: Watch Jacker and Jack or two with the Hard Part
Speaker 2: begins in the middle. The Last Circus is coming this
Speaker 2: month from Magnolia. This is the title that many people love.
Speaker 2: This is from twenty ten, directed by the one and
Speaker 2: only Alex dla Iglesia, who's gotten quite a bit of
Speaker 2: great releases over the last few years. We got a
Speaker 2: new commentary on this one by Sheila Rowan Lake, author
Speaker 2: of the Spanish Fantastic. We've had a new visual essay
Speaker 2: by Alexander Heller Nicholas and some behind the scenes footage,
Speaker 2: visual effects footage.
Speaker 3: And this looks to be a great, solid release.
Speaker 4: I don't know anything about this one, but I like
Speaker 4: to cover there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, alex Daalea, I Gglecia, great work. If you haven't
Speaker 2: seen this, I think you would probably like it. This
Speaker 2: is one that most people would enjoy.
Speaker 4: MA I like his other stuff, So durngo right.
Speaker 2: Perdida durango one of my favorites. Yeah, all right. New
Speaker 2: Life is the next title from Brainstorm Media. This is
Speaker 2: from twenty twenty three. Says a mysterious woman on the
Speaker 2: run and the resourceful fixer assigned to bring her in.
Speaker 2: There are two unique stories inextricably link as the stakes
Speaker 2: of the pursuit rise to apocalyptic proportions. We're in an
Speaker 2: audio commentary with the director and some of the actresses,
Speaker 2: and then there's another audio commentary with the director and
Speaker 2: the DP handful of interviews, so behind the scenes featurettes.
Speaker 2: This one pretty intriguing slipcover. I've not heard much about
Speaker 2: this one. This one I need to look up more.
Speaker 4: Based on that plot description that sounds like there's mounting
Speaker 4: tension throughout.
Speaker 3: Is she still working tension? Haven't heard from her in years?
Speaker 2: Next title is from a film movement and we are
Speaker 2: getting once We're Warriors. They have released this previously. This
Speaker 2: is just sort of a repackage, I believe, with a
Speaker 2: slipcover and all that. This has a commentary with Alexander Hiller,
Speaker 2: Nicholas and Josh Nelson. Visual essay by Elizabeth Purchell, essay
Speaker 2: by Peter Calder in this I somehow have not seen
Speaker 2: this one, but this one has pretty much only ever
Speaker 2: got incredible incredible reviews.
Speaker 3: Have you seen this one?
Speaker 4: No, but this will be a good excuse to pick
Speaker 4: it up. It's you know, well regarded in all.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Adam is saying, where's the word?
Speaker 3: If you look it is in once it is there.
Speaker 4: It reminds me. Do you remember that old episode of
Speaker 4: Mystery Signs Theater three thousand Werewolf starring Joe Estevez.
Speaker 3: Oh gosh, he just yeah.
Speaker 4: One of the actresses pronounces pronounces it were wolf. So
Speaker 4: We're warriors. That was one of the best episodes.
Speaker 3: Oh, next title is from phil Movement as well. This
Speaker 3: is called the Sales Girl from twenty twenty two.
Speaker 2: And there is the back of that slip. I'm not
Speaker 2: gonna leave that up there very long. We'll leave it
Speaker 2: on the girl in fish nets.
Speaker 3: That's better.
Speaker 2: This says when college co ed saw Rule takes a
Speaker 2: temporary job as a clerk in an adult store. Her
Speaker 2: poker faced indifference makes her the perfect foil for the clientele,
Speaker 2: who ranged from slightly sheepish and cautiously curious to damn
Speaker 2: write per verse. But it is Katia, the shops flamboyant,
Speaker 2: eccentric female owner who initiates saw Rule's journey into adulthood,
Speaker 2: taking her under her wing, teaching her the art of living,
Speaker 2: and gently guiding her on the path to self discovery.
Speaker 2: This will have a making of and a trailer on
Speaker 2: the disc.
Speaker 4: Well, talk about the hard part beginning, No, this was
Speaker 4: I watched the trailer for this and it looked really good.
Speaker 4: And honestly, you know, I make it a point to
Speaker 4: try to watch films from like every country. I don't
Speaker 4: think I've ever seen a film from Mongolia.
Speaker 3: Ooh, that is a good point.
Speaker 4: Maybe I haven't just not known it, but I certainly
Speaker 4: not contemporary, So I'm curious just for that reason, just
Speaker 4: to see the you know, the locations where it's shot
Speaker 4: and how it looks and yeah, this is a clumsy, clumsy,
Speaker 4: uh monolingual dufus, just trying to watch stuff from a
Speaker 4: lot of different places.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I did have somebody that has seen this recommended,
Speaker 3: so this one was an easy checkout for me.
Speaker 4: Well, one thing that unites all cultures is smut, you
Speaker 4: know all.
Speaker 2: Well when you said sput, definitely a huge whistle when
Speaker 2: you said smut there.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Next up is AGFA releasing Satan War from nineteen seventy nine,
Speaker 2: which if that doesn't excite you immediately, it absolutely should.
Speaker 2: This says it is a diy answer to the Amityville
Speaker 2: horror from Texas actor Bart LaRue. Satan War is an
Speaker 2: unforgettable Satanic panic artifact when newly weds Louise and Bill
Speaker 2: Foster moved into a new house, there confronted by supernatural
Speaker 2: entity and things only get worse from there. Never legitimately
Speaker 2: released until now, Satan War floats across the screen and
Speaker 2: a black cloud of pummeling synthesizers, hallucinogenic visuals and unsettling themes.
Speaker 2: This is region free preserved from the sixteen millimeters answer print.
Speaker 2: There are three versions of the movie, the original sixty
Speaker 2: four minute cuts, the seventy seven and ninety two minute
Speaker 2: cuts are well. We got a commentary with Kristin LaRue
Speaker 2: and agfa's Josiemba on this, and then an interview with
Speaker 2: Stephen Thrower.
Speaker 4: So if you get this you'll get the same number
Speaker 4: of cuts as if you buy Apocalypse Now, both of
Speaker 4: which are essentially Satan Wars Satan and the Great Satan.
Speaker 4: I'm pretty excited about this, you know, to quote a
Speaker 4: great text and Gibbie Haynes, it's better to regret something
Speaker 4: you have done than to regret something you haven't done.
Speaker 4: And oh, by the way, if you see your mother,
Speaker 4: tell her Satan, Satan, Satan. I feel like that was
Speaker 4: an endorsement of this this.
Speaker 3: Movie, and if not, it absolutely should have been.
Speaker 4: Although sometimes I do think it is worse to regret
Speaker 4: something you have done than haven't.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I can see that.
Speaker 4: I'm not sure one hundred percent agree with Gibbie. All Right,
Speaker 4: The point is I'm gonna definitely check this out.
Speaker 3: Though. Let's go to our next one. Will. Have you
Speaker 3: seen Smiley Face?
Speaker 4: I have.
Speaker 3: How do you feel about Smiley Face? Because this is
Speaker 3: damn divisive.
Speaker 4: I was stone cold sober when I watched it. I
Speaker 4: was at a period in my life where I had
Speaker 4: nary a substance in my system and definitely did not
Speaker 4: laugh one time. But I feel like I feel like
Speaker 4: if I had like half an edible or something, it'd
Speaker 4: be great.
Speaker 2: Well, this month, Dark Star is releasing the Iraqi film
Speaker 2: Smiley Face, so everybody has.
Speaker 3: A chance to pick the up. This has a hell
Speaker 3: of a cast.
Speaker 2: Anna Sorry, Anna Faris, John Krasinski, Adam Brody, Ben Falcone,
Speaker 2: Brian Possain. We have an audio commentary by Elizabeth Purchell
Speaker 2: on this, a booklet with the essay by Mia li Viccino.
Speaker 3: This is a good movie. I like this one. It's
Speaker 3: been a long time since I've seen it.
Speaker 4: I thought it was Anna Faris. You know, so tell
Speaker 4: me about the divisiveness. Are people hating on it?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 2: It's so many people hate the comedy in this that
Speaker 2: it's just tales old at time.
Speaker 3: People have been shipping on this movie since he got released.
Speaker 4: Tale as old as time.
Speaker 2: Huh yeah, times pretty old. It's at least seventeen years.
Speaker 4: Is that from Beauty and the Beast?
Speaker 3: I think so.
Speaker 4: You know, I recently rewatched not super recently, or I
Speaker 4: would have mentioned it on one of those shows. But
Speaker 4: I recently rewatched The House Bunny.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, another would you say, Anna Forres?
Speaker 4: And I gotta tell you I'm Team Forrest all the way.
Speaker 4: She's so funny in that movie.
Speaker 3: She's pretty great.
Speaker 4: Oh my, and I do the to this day. I
Speaker 4: do the mnemonic trick she does to remember people's names
Speaker 4: in like my classes. But I don't explain just that
Speaker 4: just weird everybody out first day of roster.
Speaker 3: You know, I swear we did talk about this recently.
Speaker 4: Maybe maybe I might have brought up the mnemonic thing.
Speaker 3: Maybe you run half an edible then. I don't know.
Speaker 4: I've never done those before, but I ordered for Christmas.
Speaker 4: I got a group on to get some th HC
Speaker 4: gummies and I thought they might help me sleep. They're
Speaker 4: not they're not here yet, but I'm gonna try them
Speaker 4: and see what, see what happens. I've never been you know,
Speaker 4: I've tried. Back when I was a young man, I
Speaker 4: tried smoking the wacky tobacco. And I'm one of those
Speaker 4: people that just gets like real paranoid and stuff and
Speaker 4: and then do a whole lot for me. Yeah. But
Speaker 4: now now it's very popular for middle aged people to
Speaker 4: eat well, they called their gummies, but they're called edibles,
Speaker 4: I guess, because there's all kinds of different kind sorts
Speaker 4: of edibles you can get. I just got the gummies,
Speaker 4: So I'll let you know the works.
Speaker 3: That was a journey'd like Tiley Face Again.
Speaker 2: I do want to say I want to award some
Speaker 2: of these labels when I can potentially, and just giving
Speaker 2: some feedback. Dark Star suddenly getting major titles like Fear
Speaker 2: dot Com and I know that's not like this heralded film,
Speaker 2: but it's one that people have wanted for some time.
Speaker 2: But Smiley Face from a Rocky like, these are titles
Speaker 2: that have been on people's wish list for a while,
Speaker 2: and for a partner label to put those out in
Speaker 2: relative close timeframes when they were putting out like mostly
Speaker 2: modern indie comedies and horror, this is pretty damn great
Speaker 2: that they that they're able to get these at all.
Speaker 4: Oh wow, I just looked at the comments and apparently
Speaker 4: I ordered the wrong kind of dummies.
Speaker 3: Yep.
Speaker 4: Well, I got THHC and CBD. There's two different they
Speaker 4: come in, so I'll compare them. I don't know what
Speaker 4: that is.
Speaker 3: That's never mind. All I know. I've never done a
Speaker 3: single thing in my life. I shouldn't say anything.
Speaker 4: I have a terrible time sleeping, man, I just I
Speaker 4: need something.
Speaker 2: I believe the sativa is the one to put you
Speaker 2: to sleep, and in deco is like the one to
Speaker 2: make you just feel floating and high.
Speaker 4: Well, okay, that's the Miley Cyrus. That's the Sativa.
Speaker 3: I'm not sure anything.
Speaker 4: I didn't see that as a ship. I didn't see
Speaker 4: that as a there's all these terms that everybody knows. Ah. Well,
Speaker 4: I don't need it. I just need to sleep. And
Speaker 4: doctor says I'm gonna have a.
Speaker 3: Stroke, Please don't do that.
Speaker 4: What am I mispronouncing? Is it Indica?
Speaker 3: Oh? Did I say the Did I say the wrong way?
Speaker 4: I meant the chad saying I can't pronounce anything.
Speaker 3: I put the.
Speaker 4: Wrong and fastest.
Speaker 3: It's Indika, not Indica.
Speaker 4: I put the wrong I put the emphastest on the
Speaker 4: wrong side.
Speaker 2: Look at this, Sasha helping you with your your anaphars
Speaker 2: uh mnemonic.
Speaker 3: Indika is the one to put you to sleep in
Speaker 3: the couch.
Speaker 4: In the couch.
Speaker 3: Wow, Oops, I said it the wrong way. I meant
Speaker 3: to say it the right way. I promise. Let's keep going.
Speaker 2: Art Label putting out The Special People from twenty twenty one.
Speaker 2: This one is mostly recorded in a single room in Brooklyn,
Speaker 2: preceding Roberts and Mechus's Here by the Way. The Special
Speaker 2: People is the culmination of fifteen years of creating video
Speaker 2: art that ranges from delightfully playful to daringly vulnerable. This
Speaker 2: is by director Erica Schreiner. You got a feature length
Speaker 2: commentary by Erica Schiner, moderated by Art Label themselves, an
Speaker 2: interviewed with a couple of the co stars, director Q
Speaker 2: and A three music videos on this, two trailers and
Speaker 2: then two Sky Project films with introductions by Erica Schreiner
Speaker 2: as well. I've not got anything from Art Label yet,
Speaker 2: I don't think question.
Speaker 4: In your interview with Joe Robin, he admitted that he
Speaker 4: wrote the copy for the newsletters, the descriptions of the
Speaker 4: movies and stuff.
Speaker 3: Does he do the oc well, I don't think he
Speaker 3: does ocns as well. No, I think that's up to
Speaker 3: every single label. I just.
Speaker 4: The the adjectives. We've talked. We've talked about the adjectives before,
Speaker 4: but man, there's some adventurous stuff going on with the adjectives.
Speaker 4: And don't get me started on the adverbs.
Speaker 2: That will quickly devolve, all right. Next one is from
Speaker 2: Enjoy the Ride. This is a video Man from twenty eighteen,
Speaker 2: one of the more interesting sounding titles from them. This
Speaker 2: says Anyo, a Jallo obsessed VHS collector with a drinking problem.
Speaker 3: So a lot of us.
Speaker 2: Finds a highly collectible videotape that could solve his money
Speaker 2: problems and save him from eviction. He makes a deal
Speaker 2: with the shady, anonymous collector before realizing the video has
Speaker 2: been stolen. This is going to include Alan Jones interview
Speaker 2: with the writer director Christian A. Soderstrom at Frank Fast
Speaker 2: twenty eighteen, some twenty twenty four interviews with the actors
Speaker 2: and actresses, plus the writer director, the origin story, featurette
Speaker 2: music video, two shorts and if that's all on the disc,
Speaker 2: that's quite a bit for an ETR release.
Speaker 4: They got too short for this. What did you say?
Speaker 3: Two shorts? Oh that's different, quite a bit different actually.
Speaker 4: So wait, well, I guess this is like cover, the
Speaker 4: subject matter is cover in case the in case the
Speaker 4: video presentation is off.
Speaker 3: Theoretically.
Speaker 4: Yeah, no, that looks neat.
Speaker 2: It, says Alan Jones of FrightFest calls it Dario Argento
Speaker 2: meets Mike Lee, which is weird to say the least.
Speaker 4: I don't know if that sounds good, but I'm going
Speaker 4: to assuming them for it too, So.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I haven't decided on this one anyways.
Speaker 2: Next up, this is Connie's release for the month that
Speaker 2: is Wonderful Paradise from twenty twenty. There is the front
Speaker 2: and back of the slip.
Speaker 3: This says.
Speaker 2: In this demented spin on the Unwonted guest scenario from
Speaker 2: Iconoclast Asahi Yamamoto, the debt ridden Sasaiyas must move out
Speaker 2: of their suburban Tokyo house. In the midst of packing,
Speaker 2: the family's rebellious daughter posts an open invitation online, Let's
Speaker 2: have a party soon. Guest after guest pours in from
Speaker 2: a strange relatives to jilted lovers, from drug dealers and
Speaker 2: yakuza to supernatural delights at the Kaiju variety. This is
Speaker 2: I'm gonna have an interview with the director of the
Speaker 2: original trailer a booklet was some behind the scenes photographs
Speaker 2: and new writing by Ariel Esteban Kaye from the label
Speaker 2: Connie Themselves.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Connie does pretty great work. I'm interested in this one.
Speaker 4: Definitely true about the movies. But I gotta agree with
Speaker 4: Reservoir Fella eighty eight. The slipcover doesn't appeal to me.
Speaker 3: No, it's not great.
Speaker 2: There's been quite a few this month that I've not loved,
Speaker 2: not loved at all. Craig says they're looking into a
Speaker 2: film that would be described as Douglas Sirk meets John Waters. Interesting,
Speaker 2: silent mannible likes a slip nice.
Speaker 3: Nice. So that is Connie for this month, and of course.
Speaker 4: Is it called odoriferous Obsession.
Speaker 2: If that's not enough, head over to the melusine side,
Speaker 2: where you get a four K release of the image
Speaker 2: from nineteen seventy three. This is the same film that
Speaker 2: was released previously on blue from Synaps, coming on four
Speaker 2: K in one of these deluxe Melusine packages. Here is
Speaker 2: the inner slip art. If you've never bought one of
Speaker 2: the MALEU Scene releases. I just so happened to have
Speaker 2: this because I just talked about it somewhere else through
Speaker 2: the looking glad. Oh, look at that. There's the image
Speaker 2: and you can imagine seeing it on here. These releases
Speaker 2: are crazy great. They put a lot of love and
Speaker 2: attention into them. What's odd this month, though, is there's
Speaker 2: a couple of these releases that seem to be missing
Speaker 2: some information. So like this one, they refer to a
Speaker 2: commentary on the back of the case, but it's not
Speaker 2: listed as one of the extras. Yes, this is Radley
Speaker 2: metzger Adam.
Speaker 3: This is uh.
Speaker 2: This is one that I would certainly suggest people look
Speaker 2: at you've got the blu ray there.
Speaker 3: I'm assuming you've seen it. Yeah. Zero extras though, and
Speaker 3: is there nothing on there?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 3: Zero.
Speaker 4: It's so old that when you open it up, it
Speaker 4: lets you know that synapses to a new location. So yeah,
Speaker 4: I mean, obviously this is an upgrade in pretty much
Speaker 4: every respect. And this is one of the most well
Speaker 4: regarded adult films ever made.
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, these these Miliu scene editions are great. And yes, Staf,
Speaker 2: you know it is hard hardcore. I help you check
Speaker 2: it out. It's pretty good.
Speaker 4: Polp album. It was a pulp album, but it was
Speaker 4: a statement, not a question.
Speaker 3: Next one is Neon Knights. This is Neon crutch that
Speaker 3: Will was talking.
Speaker 4: About your mom.
Speaker 3: So this is from the Command Cinema line. You can
Speaker 3: pick up now.
Speaker 2: Nineteen eighty one's Neon Nights the Cecil Howard or Cesil Howard,
Speaker 2: I'm not sure how he pronounces it.
Speaker 3: On this one.
Speaker 2: This is going to have feature length audio commentary with
Speaker 2: the director, moderated by Casey Scott, a bunch of video interviews,
Speaker 2: film outtakes with the director.
Speaker 3: You can pick this up now.
Speaker 2: Now, have you gotten any of the Command Cinema one
Speaker 2: since they joined Vinegar Syndrome?
Speaker 4: You know what the weirdest part of watching pornography with your.
Speaker 3: Parents discussing it online publicly.
Speaker 4: Is well, that's that's the moment where you realize they've
Speaker 4: got like thirty years of perversion on you, like every
Speaker 4: You hadn't even thought of some of the stuff they've
Speaker 4: tried yet. Why did you ask me.
Speaker 2: If you bought any of the Command Cinema lines, Because
Speaker 2: all of these I thought, all but like one or
Speaker 2: two that they've released through mail usine have come out
Speaker 2: previously when they were their own uh company. And my
Speaker 2: my question is because they never they never used the
Speaker 2: word new, So are these just the same discs as
Speaker 2: before in a new slip cover that wouldn't surprise me necessarily.
Speaker 4: I haven't gotten any of their stuff yet.
Speaker 3: All right, so I'm not you know, Will is describing
Speaker 3: my relationship with my kids.
Speaker 4: Uh no, I'm sure.
Speaker 2: Jim says, got a lot of other variant images apparently
Speaker 2: taken seconds apart. Her head has turned to a different side,
Speaker 2: and that is it, well that you can say. Craig says,
Speaker 2: just curious. Do Maliu scene releases get coverage because they're
Speaker 2: nicely packaged? Lots of porn comes out every month?
Speaker 4: No, no nice slip package.
Speaker 2: Not a lot of it does, actually, especially in a
Speaker 2: restoration of classic hardcore. Actually, Wave says, is the vs.
Speaker 2: Pink line gonna be pink ou films?
Speaker 3: We don't know yet.
Speaker 2: We've not heard a single hint other than there's a
Speaker 2: new line coming to mail you scene called pink.
Speaker 3: We will have to see.
Speaker 2: Going to the last Maliu scene title, the Riebald Tales
Speaker 2: of Canterbury and Tasty double feature. This is Riebald Tales
Speaker 2: of Canterbury came out as part of the five Years
Speaker 2: five Films collection. I think that was on volume one even. Yeah,
Speaker 2: so this is just a repackage of that. Blu Ray
Speaker 2: with Taste is another double feature.
Speaker 4: So you have to decide. I think if you're a
Speaker 4: fan of Hypatia Lee, and there's a good reason to be,
Speaker 4: she's a multi hyphen it.
Speaker 3: I have her album.
Speaker 4: She was in a band, it's like a blues rock band.
Speaker 3: I read somewhere that she was tempting and tantalizing.
Speaker 4: Well, the tension mounts. But she wrote. She wrote a
Speaker 4: pretty well reviewed memoir and she wrote she's a screenwriter.
Speaker 4: She wrote several movies. She co wrote Rival Tales of Canterbury,
Speaker 4: which is hilarious because in the credits the writers include Hyapacial,
Speaker 4: Lee and Hawcer.
Speaker 3: Great great people to be around there, for sure.
Speaker 4: Of course, the the regular Tales of Canterbury tales are
Speaker 4: pretty ribald.
Speaker 3: Well for back then, probably not as bald, but.
Speaker 4: It was like super ribald.
Speaker 3: That was I mean, that was a bald joke, not
Speaker 3: a right bald. Oh.
Speaker 2: Anyways, commentary with the director Bud Lee, video interview with
Speaker 2: Budley as well, and then original theatrical trailers accompany this release.
Speaker 4: Bud Lee kind of sucks, all right. He was very
Speaker 4: high patiently and you look at the two of them,
Speaker 4: and you're just like, how the hell did that happen?
Speaker 3: Money?
Speaker 4: Cocaine's a hell of a drug, they say.
Speaker 3: Let's carry on. Uh.
Speaker 2: Vinegar Syndrome announced some of the stuff coming throughout the
Speaker 2: rest of this year so that you can decide if
Speaker 2: you want to subscribe or not. On top of all
Speaker 2: of the discounts that you for the partner labels and
Speaker 2: all of the sub labels and all that other stuff,
Speaker 2: plus miliu seen titles, these are the things that they're
Speaker 2: gonna use to entice you. So February we got three releases,
Speaker 2: including a four K of the Possession of Joel Delaney
Speaker 2: Blu Ray debut and Eighties Slasher Blu Ray debut of
Speaker 2: and eighties Jess Franco Orror.
Speaker 3: Any any thoughts of what that one might be.
Speaker 4: Will mm nope. I don't want jinx anything. I will
Speaker 4: never speculate about Franca. I just want I just am
Speaker 4: grateful for whatever happens. All right, I was gonna meet Oh,
Speaker 4: this is all right, speaking of just Ranca. So you
Speaker 4: see I'm wearing this Severn t shirt here yep. And
Speaker 4: I was in a meeting earlier today for like actual
Speaker 4: work job and I was meeting with an instructional designer
Speaker 4: for this online course that I'm working on, and she's like, oh,
Speaker 4: what's what's seven? And then she googled it and the
Speaker 4: first thing she saw was Thong Girls and I was like, no, actually,
Speaker 4: you know, it's a high class art. It's well, it's
Speaker 4: it's it's politically transgressive because of the fascist Francisco Franco regime.
Speaker 4: And she was like, yeah, so I don't know.
Speaker 2: March from VS is gonna include a Blu Ray debut
Speaker 2: of Devil Fetus and her Vengeance double feature that I
Speaker 2: cannot wait for, a Forgotten Jelly box set, and a
Speaker 2: four K and Blu Ray debut of an eighties British thriller, Fuck.
Speaker 4: I don't have room for any more forgotten Jolly box sets?
Speaker 3: You another one coming? Uh? April?
Speaker 4: Is we got seven so far? This is gonna be
Speaker 4: the eighth one.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think so.
Speaker 4: Holy shit.
Speaker 2: April re releases including a four K debut of a yellow,
Speaker 2: four K debut of early supernatural Slash, and a Blu
Speaker 2: Ray debut double feature of sixties British horror.
Speaker 3: May.
Speaker 2: Of course, this is the halfway sale months, so we
Speaker 2: got four releases a four K debut of seventies horror Masterpiece,
Speaker 2: four K debut of nineties horror Classic, plus two secret
Speaker 2: surprise four K titles, then skipping June because that will
Speaker 2: be partners only. July three Vinegar Cinerm releases, including three
Speaker 2: four K debuts of horror and sci fi films. August
Speaker 2: will have three releases, including a four K debut of
Speaker 2: Trauma's Sergeant Kabuki Man NYPD. Which is crazy that that's
Speaker 2: getting a four K release. Three album set go ahead.
Speaker 4: I'll say again, that's the first in house Trauma film
Speaker 4: they've done.
Speaker 2: Yep, Wow, sure is that could be a sign of
Speaker 2: some other things to come. We've got a three film
Speaker 2: set of seventies Italian horror rarities and a double feature
Speaker 2: of two genre melding films by an indie director legend,
Speaker 2: one of them a four K Blu ray, one of
Speaker 2: them Blu Ray only. September three Vinegar Syndrome releases total
Speaker 2: a four K double feature of major indie horror films,
Speaker 2: Blu ray debut of a batshit crazy Italian horror, and
Speaker 2: a four K debut of ninety supernatural horror.
Speaker 3: The Giggle Well.
Speaker 4: I was hoping for the House with laughing windows finally,
Speaker 4: but I don't think it's batshit.
Speaker 2: So well, and I kind of don't think it's VS.
Speaker 2: I'm very curious who has it. We've been waiting a
Speaker 2: long time since that reveal to find out.
Speaker 3: Who's got it.
Speaker 4: Well, pretty cool Mede.
Speaker 3: October, we got a couple more.
Speaker 2: October four, Vinegar Centroom releases a four K debut, a
Speaker 2: new restoration of seventies Horror Classic, four K debut of
Speaker 2: a masterful nineties horror infused genre bender, four K debut
Speaker 2: of Ajallo, and a disc debut of Gory eighty Supernatural Horror.
Speaker 2: And then finally November four, Total releases a shocking four
Speaker 2: kW horror box set and two surprise titles.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, you know, I never speculate. Speculation is dangerous thing.
Speaker 2: It's very dangerous. People start believing rumors, but this is
Speaker 2: not a rumor. There are two titles that you can
Speaker 2: pick up just in the Vinegar Centrome Media Club sections
Speaker 2: of both of the Vinegar Syndrome and Melliusine sites. So
Speaker 2: on the VS side, there is a standard release of
Speaker 2: The Demon Rat, which was a VSA that is now
Speaker 2: out of print, so you can get just the standard
Speaker 2: that is available now it is three thousand VSMC points.
Speaker 2: And then if you go over to the Mellusine site,
Speaker 2: the title Hot Summer in the City is available to
Speaker 2: redeem for three thousand VSMC points and this one is
Speaker 2: not available to purchase anywhere else. The only place that
Speaker 2: you can get it is through there, and their email
Speaker 2: today made it sound like that's the only place this
Speaker 2: will be available, So you may want to save up
Speaker 2: some points and pick that up for three thousand points
Speaker 2: over there.
Speaker 4: So that's thirty dollars worth of points.
Speaker 2: Yeah, which by the way, is already only what like
Speaker 2: a one percent discount on VSMC points for the most part,
Speaker 2: at at the lowest level.
Speaker 4: So I'm trying to decide about the double rat because
Speaker 4: I like some of that director's other films, Grave Robbers,
Speaker 4: Cemetery of Terra, but and the trailer makes it look like, aha,
Speaker 4: you know, just like that. But then I read the
Speaker 4: letterbox reviews and everybody's like, this fucking's not even and
Speaker 4: so now I don't know. And then you told me
Speaker 4: that Hot Summer in the City was great, and.
Speaker 2: I did not tell you that, I said, Quentin Tarantino said,
Speaker 2: it was the best porn movie ever made.
Speaker 4: So then I look it up and it's all about
Speaker 4: like racial raping, Like that's that's all it is, is
Speaker 4: a bunch of racist raping stuff.
Speaker 3: Jikes. So I don't know.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I can't decide what to do with my points.
Speaker 2: Well, thankfully that is it for VS until the next day.
Speaker 2: We got one more release to cover at once we
Speaker 2: get to listening to matagraph. Next up is, like I said,
Speaker 2: eighty eight Films is doing which from Nepal.
Speaker 3: This is the art for their release. It is coming
Speaker 3: in early twenty twenty five.
Speaker 2: It will have newly color graded and restored in the
Speaker 2: UK by eighty eight Films from the studio Splightmaster. It
Speaker 2: will also have a bunch of extras, including a new
Speaker 2: commentary by Frank Jang.
Speaker 3: A there was something else that they announced. Oh maybe
Speaker 3: it was not in that post and I read in
Speaker 3: the comments, so never mind. Heads up.
Speaker 2: By the way, I had some people ask Frank Jang,
Speaker 2: I think it was the seventh Curse release. It says
Speaker 2: brand new commentary, but he did the commentary for eighty
Speaker 2: eight films. What's crazy is Frank Jing never allows the
Speaker 2: same commentary to go to two different labels, even if
Speaker 2: it's for the same title. So if they want him
Speaker 2: on the VS release and he already did it for
Speaker 2: Dy eight Films, he records another full commentary. So that's
Speaker 2: pretty damn cool. It gives you a reason if you
Speaker 2: really love the title, you might want to keep both
Speaker 2: of them because they are going to be different.
Speaker 4: I want to talk a little bit more about Hot
Speaker 4: Summer in the City because I said what it was about,
Speaker 4: but I didn't say it was written by Gail Palmer,
Speaker 4: which I guess complicates things. She also made Erotic Adventures
Speaker 4: of Candy and Candy Goes to Hollywood, Oh, which has
Speaker 4: Wendy O Williams in it. I gotta tell you, man,
Speaker 4: Frank Jang is an impressed of motherfucker recording brand new
Speaker 4: commentaries for stuff that he's already done commentaries for.
Speaker 3: That's difficult.
Speaker 4: I'd be just like, pay me twice for you know whatever.
Speaker 4: But more power to him. He's one of the top,
Speaker 4: you know. I love him and he has the sweetest Instagram.
Speaker 4: I just I love his every one of his posts,
Speaker 4: Like everything he does is so fun and cool. I'm like,
Speaker 4: way to go, dude. I hope to beat him one day. Yeah,
Speaker 4: he's uh, he's pretty red.
Speaker 3: All right. It is it is that time. It's the
Speaker 3: giveaway time.
Speaker 2: So this is this is crazy because Craig he lessened
Speaker 2: the pool from all of the entries and got it
Speaker 2: down to I think it was twenty and gave a
Speaker 2: gave me a number to pool and my number that
Speaker 2: I chose was a random draw and he texted me
Speaker 2: it is I. I don't know how this came up,
Speaker 2: but a regular that is gonna be very happy with
Speaker 2: this won the package tonight. Ronnie, Ronnie, you won. You
Speaker 2: won the Deaf Crocodile package. You get Fella Day and
Speaker 2: some of the stars and Delta Space Mission. Uh if
Speaker 2: you will. Yeah, that's that's pretty damn cool.
Speaker 4: Congratulates package of the night. Oh when speaking of the
Speaker 4: oppressive packages, where do you see Philaday?
Speaker 3: Yeah, it is an amazing movie.
Speaker 2: Uh, Ronnie, please send your address to Craig at Defcrocodile
Speaker 2: dot com via email and.
Speaker 3: He will get that ship out to you immediately.
Speaker 4: Congratulations, Ronnie. Hey, I gotta tell you, I don't venture
Speaker 4: on the Twitter that much anymore, but whenever I do,
Speaker 4: Ronnie's feet always has stuff that only people with good
Speaker 4: taste have, so.
Speaker 3: Huzza.
Speaker 2: I'm so glad it was so glad it was you, Ronnie.
Speaker 2: That's incredible.
Speaker 3: I'll tell you.
Speaker 4: I'm just glad it wasn't Jeremy.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a good call. Enjoy, Enjoy what you get
Speaker 3: from Deaf Crocodile. There, Ronnie. These are pretty fantastic releases.
Speaker 3: All right. We got just a couple more to cover.
Speaker 3: Shelf shock.
Speaker 2: We're gonna be talking about that in just a minute,
Speaker 2: so I'm gonna keep this one at bay. The last
Speaker 2: thing to cover is today, Cinematograph announced Bang the Drums
Speaker 2: Slowly from nineteen seventy three coming on four K, and
Speaker 2: this is one of their media book releases that they
Speaker 2: do for all of the Cinematograph titles. This is starring
Speaker 2: Robert de Niro and Michael Murriarty. We got a new
Speaker 2: commentary with John Hancock, the director, moderated by Justin from Cinematograph.
Speaker 2: New commentary by Jim Hempful on this as well. New
Speaker 2: video interview with the director. New visual essay by Chris O'Neill.
Speaker 2: New text essays by Noah Gettell, author of Baseball the
Speaker 2: movie film critic Glenn Kenny, author of an adam of
Speaker 2: an actor Robert de Niro and then writer and filmmaker
Speaker 2: Dan Mecha from the film stage this.
Speaker 3: Have you seen this movie? Will? No?
Speaker 4: I rarely watch baseball movies because I don't like baseball.
Speaker 4: But I've read I mean, this is like fairly well
Speaker 4: regarded as a classic, right.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I think a lot of people when they
Speaker 2: I think they read between the lines that it was
Speaker 2: a baseball movie and they thought it was gonna be
Speaker 2: eight men out, and so some people were disappointed.
Speaker 4: But speaking of John Sales, yeah I like that. But no,
Speaker 4: this is a movie that has needed a release. It's
Speaker 4: got a great critical reputation. Given all of the jokes
Speaker 4: that we've made about packaging packages and mounting and banging
Speaker 4: a film by John Hancock, cob banged the drum slowly
Speaker 4: seems like the perfect way to close things out. Two
Speaker 4: guys bawling.
Speaker 3: Oh, I don't even know what to say.
Speaker 2: All right, So that is announcements for the week. Like
Speaker 2: I said, we'll get back to shelf shock in just
Speaker 2: a minute, but of.
Speaker 3: Course, for real, that's it. Yeah, that's it, Serman, nobody else.
Speaker 3: Don't you feel good about? Well? Tons of keynote like
Speaker 3: always what they release. I mean nothing. They just announced
Speaker 3: that some stuff will come someday.
Speaker 2: Uh coming out next week, as we usually cover David
Speaker 2: Fincher seven on four K steel booking Standard Yo Jimbo
Speaker 2: Sandrew four K from Criterion. We Live in Time from
Speaker 2: A twenty four Saturday Night from Sony Rumbel Stiltskin will
Speaker 2: be shipping from tear Vision the moment their four K
Speaker 2: discs arrived. They're waiting on that Sanctum four K from
Speaker 2: Scream Factory, Drag Me to Hell four K steal from

Speaker 2: Triumph of Sherlock Holmes and Silver Blaze from Film Masters.
Speaker 2: Motel Hell steelbook coming as well. Soundtrack to a Coup
Speaker 2: de Tat from Keino. I need to pick this one up.
Speaker 2: I've heard this one is incredible. Yeah, you get anything
Speaker 2: from next week? Are you going to pick up seven?
Speaker 2: Have we ever talked about seven? Are you a seven fan?
Speaker 2: That's what I thought? You look upset?
Speaker 4: Well. My favorite part is when they kill Gwyneth Paltrow.
Speaker 4: Good with the sliding door actually, which is.
Speaker 3: I like? Pretty good?
Speaker 4: I like the synergy.
Speaker 3: That was pretty good. All right, we will we will
Speaker 3: be covering shelf Shock first.
Speaker 2: Yes, let's cover shelf Shock rewind first. This is I'm
Speaker 2: sharing from the editing side of where I could change
Speaker 2: the survey, but I'm not going to click anything. I'm
Speaker 2: gonna show everybody what all of the categories are tonight
Speaker 2: and just have a quick run through on a couple
Speaker 2: of these. Will you can give any thoughts by all
Speaker 2: means please here it is so this is what you
Speaker 2: can vote for. If you vote in the community, vote
Speaker 2: for the shelf Shock Rewind Awards. These are open for
Speaker 2: the entirety of the month of January. If you want
Speaker 2: to vote, the link that is in the description below.
Speaker 2: Wherever you're watching this you would be able to find
Speaker 2: the link. It is an incredibly difficult year. The first
Speaker 2: one here is best pre code or silent film release.
Speaker 2: We got Dante's Inferno from tear Vision Hacks and from
Speaker 2: Radius Films, Laura and Hardy Year two from Flicker Rally,
Speaker 2: the Louis foyad set from Eureka, and then Pandora's Box
Speaker 2: from Criterion.
Speaker 3: Dang, this is one of those categories. I don't know
Speaker 3: how to pick one.
Speaker 4: Well, I mean, who's gotten the Flawed box set yet?
Speaker 4: But also like, wow, that's everything, right, that's Phantomas, that's
Speaker 4: the vampires.
Speaker 3: I mean, it's all the crime serials.
Speaker 4: Then again, who's going to ever watch them all?
Speaker 3: A lot of people have surprisingly.
Speaker 4: Whatever Pandora's Oh but the Dante's infern with like the
Speaker 4: how many different scores? Yeah, the different scores.
Speaker 3: I'm glad people remembered that when they were nominating these.
Speaker 4: I remember pitching to do a commentary for it and
Speaker 4: being denied, so.
Speaker 3: You know, whatever, So not the case, but okay, it
Speaker 3: was the case.
Speaker 2: Second really, second category here, Best contemporary studio release. So
Speaker 2: this is anything for a new film that just came
Speaker 2: out this year. We've got The Civil War four K
Speaker 2: Amazon exclusive from a twenty four Lionsgate, The Fall Guy
Speaker 2: four K from Universal furiosa, A Mad Max Saga four
Speaker 2: K from Warner Brothers. I saw The TV Glow from
Speaker 2: a twenty four and Love Lies Bleeding four K from
Speaker 2: a twenty four.
Speaker 3: You have you even seen any of those five films? No? Yeah,
Speaker 3: That's what I thought.
Speaker 2: Honestly, five pretty great TSTs there too.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna watch. I saw the TV Glow and I
Speaker 4: told you I got Furiosa last month. I just haven't watched. Yeah,
Speaker 4: but the other one, Snow, what is even.
Speaker 3: That humboldt horror? Honey wants to know.
Speaker 2: I viewed the nominees for all who picks these again,
Speaker 2: and it's a great question. We have what I've deemed
Speaker 2: the Creators Selection Committee that is full of a bunch
Speaker 2: of filmmakers and YouTubers, podcasters, creators and a bunch of
Speaker 2: different arenas that come together to nominate titles and then
Speaker 2: literally just pick the highest number of votes in every
Speaker 2: category and try to discern the best way to present
Speaker 2: those And this is what we got.
Speaker 4: Full disclosure, I was disenfranchised this year. I did not
Speaker 4: get to vote.
Speaker 3: That's true. That is true. Next is best Studio Catalog Release.
Speaker 2: So this is for a studio putting out our release
Speaker 2: for a film that came out before twenty twenty. And
Speaker 2: we've got Nightmare and Elm Street four K, bringing out
Speaker 2: the Dead four K, We've got Chinatown four K, North
Speaker 2: Northwest four K, and then from Warner Archive, the Searchers
Speaker 2: four K.
Speaker 4: I see, that's tough because you can only vote for
Speaker 4: Chinatown ethically if you ordered the special edition, because the
Speaker 4: standard edition, which I pre ordered, is still so basically
Speaker 4: that's bullshit.
Speaker 3: Because you couldn't get it.
Speaker 4: No, I'm just it hasn't. It's not it doesn't specify
Speaker 4: that it's the special edition.
Speaker 3: It's the only one that was released.
Speaker 4: Well, that's my point anyway.
Speaker 3: I mean they sold six thousand of them.
Speaker 4: Wow, it's only two studios.
Speaker 2: Yeah, lots of Warner interesting best animation. We got some
Speaker 2: big ones here. The Boy and the Heir and four
Speaker 2: K steel book from Shout philad a four K from
Speaker 2: Deaf Crocodile Tamila twenty ten, A Punkcat and Space from
Speaker 2: Deaf Crocodile, Transformers one four K steel book from Paramounts,
Speaker 2: and then the Wild Robot four K from Universal.
Speaker 4: That's tough. I've seen three of these.
Speaker 3: What's the third one? Transformers one Boy in the heron.
Speaker 3: Oh see, you should see Wild Robot. I think you'd
Speaker 3: like that one. Well.
Speaker 4: I took my daughter to see Boy in the Hero huh,
Speaker 4: Transformers one the one where they're teenagers.
Speaker 3: Yeahpost be pretty great.
Speaker 4: Fuck Yeah, they're robots, dude, that's just their personality. Oh
Speaker 4: my god, that is so dull.
Speaker 3: Fifth categories martial arts.
Speaker 2: We got the Game of Clones, Bruce Floitation set from seven,
Speaker 2: whoa Golden Harvest Volume one from Shout Studios, The Heroic
Speaker 2: Trio and Executioners four K from Criterion, Ninja Terminator from
Speaker 2: Neon Eagle Video, and then Shotscope Volume three from Arrow.
Speaker 3: This is a category.
Speaker 4: I kind of feel like some of these you need
Speaker 4: to have two winners. It's got to be like one
Speaker 4: A and one B.
Speaker 3: Well, I mean we do for those that don't know.
Speaker 2: We do pick a winner from the creator Selection Committee
Speaker 2: and the community, so there is an option for a
Speaker 2: couple winners.
Speaker 3: Right right.
Speaker 4: I forgot you had the electoral College. We do, yeah, situation.
Speaker 3: So that is a very difficult category. Here's another one.
Speaker 2: Best horror release All the Haunts by Ours, a Compendium
Speaker 2: of fook cor Volume two from seven, The Blair Witch
Speaker 2: Project from Second Site, The Hitcher four K from Second Site,
Speaker 2: Hush four K from Screen Factory, and Opera four K
Speaker 2: from seven.
Speaker 3: Wow.
Speaker 4: You know what has been such an incredible year. I
Speaker 4: forgot that Opera came out this year. I was actually
Speaker 4: thinking that had to be last year, and then I
Speaker 4: was like, oh wait, we were just at seven when
Speaker 4: that happened, So I assume this is the replacement disc
Speaker 4: that's been nominated.
Speaker 3: Yep.
Speaker 2: Wow, Humboldt Horror Honey says, I think I have to
Speaker 2: pick other for a lot of these, and that is
Speaker 2: exciting because I do want to make sure that people
Speaker 2: understand that you can write in if you don't like
Speaker 2: any of the five nominees, you can write in, and
Speaker 2: one of the ride in picks absolutely could win. So please,
Speaker 2: if you've got a different choice, write that in. Yeah, Jim,
Speaker 2: No Canadian Animation Volume one from c ip it got nominated.
Speaker 3: It just missed it, I think by one or two nominees.
Speaker 4: Which is interesting because I just mentioned that was disenfranchised.
Speaker 2: Number seven is best Documentary Release. We got the American
Speaker 2: movie four K from Sony, the Battle of Chile from
Speaker 2: Icarus Films Entered the Clones of Bruce from seven, pop
Speaker 2: Atopolis from Terror Vision, and Skala from Severn.
Speaker 4: That's impossible. And you know what makes even worse is
Speaker 4: that one of those elms is like super important historically
Speaker 4: and the rest are just for geeks like us and
Speaker 4: it's not gonna win. I'm just gonna go ahead and
Speaker 4: say the one movie that is absolutely going to outlive
Speaker 4: all of them because it is so important historically.
Speaker 3: Will not win.
Speaker 4: This is true, but I'm glad it's nominated. At least.
Speaker 4: Glad at least we can show a modicum of awareness
Speaker 4: of the historical and artistic importance of one of these films.
Speaker 4: That that said, I'm voting for Papatopolis.
Speaker 2: Ronnie says, gay USA from Altered Innocence. For me, I
Speaker 2: want to point out this miss being nominated by one vote.
Speaker 4: And again someone was disenfranchised would have been on my ballot.
Speaker 3: By the way. Next is the best audio presentation. We
Speaker 3: get Alien Romulus four K from twenty Century, we get
Speaker 3: The Civil War four K from A twenty four lions Gate,
Speaker 3: Dune Part two four K from Warner Brothers, Godzilla Minus
Speaker 3: one four K from Toho, and Opera four K from seven.
Speaker 3: This is an interesting category. I don't even know how
Speaker 3: to tell.
Speaker 4: I have a I have a bow sound bar. It's loud,
Speaker 4: but I don't have like surround sound or anything.
Speaker 3: This is this is really important for some people and
Speaker 3: they can tell.
Speaker 2: I promise you just listen on your earbuds sometimes. Honestly,
Speaker 2: it's better than TV speakers.
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, yeah, no, no.
Speaker 2: It's more surround than a soundbar. Number nine, it's like
Speaker 2: this long number nine is for video presentation. We get
Speaker 2: the Case of the Bloody Iris four K from Celluloyd
Speaker 2: Dreams Opera four K from seven, the Hitcher four K
Speaker 2: Second Site, four K from Vinegar Syndrome, and the Silence
Speaker 2: of the Lambs four K from Arrow.
Speaker 4: Well A dark Horse, a dark Lamb, A dark Lamb.
Speaker 2: This one, I think is another one that's gonna be
Speaker 2: tough because Case of the Bloody Iris is probably the
Speaker 2: best looking JALLO on disc ever now. And then Silence
Speaker 2: of the Lambs improved pretty greatly on the Keno four K.
Speaker 4: Well opera sounded pretty looked pretty good too.
Speaker 3: It looks amazing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, speaking of that best home video restoration upgrade. So
Speaker 2: the last time it was on home video to what
Speaker 2: it got this last year showed the biggest improvement. So
Speaker 2: we've got Bringing Out the Dead four K from Paramounts,
Speaker 2: Case of the Bloody Iris four K Celluloid Dreams, hit
Speaker 2: Your four K from Second Site, the Jar from Terror Vision,
Speaker 2: and then The Keep four K from Vinegar Syndrome, So.
Speaker 4: Like technically, based on how this is written, it has
Speaker 4: to be the jar, right, like the the best improvement
Speaker 4: over what it had been previously.
Speaker 2: I mean quite literally, Like that's the one that I'm
Speaker 2: voting for. I'll be completely completely transparent.
Speaker 3: There.
Speaker 4: You can't. No, no, no, you can't do that.
Speaker 3: Oh yes I can. I didn't help with that.
Speaker 4: Disc Yeah, but you're influential, all right.
Speaker 3: Going to our next one.
Speaker 4: They're all tough. They're all tough.
Speaker 3: They really are.
Speaker 2: Best packaging design All the Haunts b Ares Volume two,
Speaker 2: The Hitcher four k Steckt site, the never Ending Story
Speaker 2: from Imprint, That thing weighs five pounds, the Tenant four
Speaker 2: K from Vinegar Syndrome, and then the one I just
Speaker 2: held up through the looking Glass four K from Meliu scene.
Speaker 2: We had an adult film nominated for Best Packaging.
Speaker 4: Inclusion of The never Ending Story, which from what I've
Speaker 4: heard is the has been the bane of every distributor,
Speaker 4: every store. And I have to say, as excited as
Speaker 4: I was when it came out, I cannot purchase that.
Speaker 3: I wouldn't mind having it, but that's so expensive.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Like if like somebody gave it to me, I
Speaker 4: would take it, but then I would also be like,
Speaker 4: you just wasted your money. You should have given that
Speaker 4: to someone who was like down and out and trying
Speaker 4: to get back on their feet. You know.
Speaker 3: Next category is best steel Book.
Speaker 2: We got Body double four k from Sony, The Crow
Speaker 2: four k from Paramount Nightmare and elm Street four k
Speaker 2: from Mourner Saw ten four k from Lionsgate, and then
Speaker 2: the Thanksgiving four k steel book from Sony.
Speaker 4: You know would have been better though, is if that
Speaker 4: never ending story had the book, Like, if the book
Speaker 4: had the book in it, why didn't I mean, you.
Speaker 3: Know, people of people have asked the same thing.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm sure they have, but it just occurred to me. Now, Well,
Speaker 4: onto the steel box, all right, stuff that.
Speaker 3: You bang around, stuff that you make, all right.
Speaker 2: Number thirteen Best Artwork. We got All the Haunts Biarrs
Speaker 2: Volume two from seven, Demon Pond four k from Criterion,
Speaker 2: Corell from Criterion, The Hitcher four k from Second Site,
Speaker 2: and a Simple Plan four k from Arrow.
Speaker 4: Where's Demon rat?
Speaker 3: Uh huh?
Speaker 2: Honestly, this list is maybe the most odd out of
Speaker 2: the entire list of nominees.
Speaker 3: For me, there's maybe one in here.
Speaker 2: That I would have included, but like the Radiance and
Speaker 2: Deaf Crocodile art is so eye catching.
Speaker 3: I don't see how any of those did to make
Speaker 3: the top five.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's an odd one.
Speaker 2: Especially I'll be quiet, but especially when one of these
Speaker 2: was so controversial when it was announced Category fourteen Best
Speaker 2: New Interview. We get an interview on the Hitcher four
Speaker 2: K with see Thomas Howell, Gregor Rocky, and Richard Link
Speaker 2: later have a conversation on the Tin Apocalypse trilogy release.
Speaker 2: Harmony Krinn is interviewed on the Gumo four K, Nicholas
Speaker 2: Cage interviewed on Bringing Out the Dead, and then Paul
Speaker 2: Schrader for Touch from Cinematograph.
Speaker 4: I haven't seen any of these, but I think the
Speaker 4: first one I'm gonna watch is Oh wait, I don't
Speaker 4: have Bringing out the Dead when I get it, I
Speaker 4: definitely want to see that, h okay.
Speaker 2: And there was I think the Bringing Out the Dead
Speaker 2: is one of the Sorry it was one of the
Speaker 2: Justin Bean behind the scenes stories that he shared of
Speaker 2: going down into that room with Nicholas Cage and he
Speaker 2: was just like chill and hang out and being just
Speaker 2: regular Nicholas Cage.
Speaker 3: It's very.
Speaker 4: Fallow centric list of nominees, But okay, I would agree.
Speaker 4: I guess that's true film in general.

Speaker 2: Chronicles from Aero Video, the Hitcher four K from Second Site,

Speaker 4: No, just tough. It's tough.
Speaker 2: I really enjoyed that Hollywood nine h two eight made
Speaker 2: the list here on this one.
Speaker 3: That's a that's a release that people are sleeping on
Speaker 3: this year for sure.
Speaker 4: You know, it's funny. I have every single Grindhouse video
Speaker 4: releasing except for that. I don't have that yet.
Speaker 3: That's pretty new. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Let's look at number nineteen best Region B release.
Speaker 2: Here's where it gets nigh impossible to select on some
Speaker 2: of these. Bellatar A Curzone collection from Curzone, the Blair
Speaker 2: Witch Project from Second Site, Columbia, Nour number six, the
Speaker 2: Whistler from Indicator green Room four k from Second Site,
Speaker 2: the Hitcher four K from Second Site, the Foyade set
Speaker 2: from Eureka again, Nothing is Sacred, three Heresies by Louis
Speaker 2: Bnoel from Radiance and then the Third Man four K
Speaker 2: from Studio Canal.
Speaker 3: How do you choose one of these?
Speaker 4: Don't know the answer to that.
Speaker 2: Well, if Region B isn't difficult enough, Region A all
Speaker 2: the Haunts Bires Volume two, Frank Capra at Columbia four
Speaker 2: k from Sony, Hollywood nine h two eight from Grindhouse,

Speaker 4: Ryan Gales said they went hard for Nailgun Massacre but
Speaker 4: didn't didn't get it out of Topple. Thanks for trying.
Speaker 2: Nailga actually almost made it on video restoration upgrade.
Speaker 3: And then uh, there was one more. I can't remember
Speaker 3: which one.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'll tell you one thing. I'm glad that it
Speaker 4: didn't get on here because if if we had lost
Speaker 4: to the hysteria continues for like best Commentary, I would
Speaker 4: fucking kill myself.
Speaker 3: I understand.
Speaker 4: Oh this is quite a slate.
Speaker 2: Speaking of slates, we've got some more best box sets,
Speaker 2: all the Haunts of Ours Volume two Frank Caprick Columbia,
Speaker 2: the die Gothic Japanese ghost Stories from Radiance, Game of
Speaker 2: Clones from uh Severn, and then the Houses of Doom
Speaker 2: from Cauldron.
Speaker 3: Got a noun.
Speaker 4: Wow, I don't know what I'm going to say there.
Speaker 2: Then, Actually, speaking of slates, small slate boutique label, so
Speaker 2: anything that puts out fifteen or less titles, which one
Speaker 2: of them has the best list of titles that released
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty four. Deaf Crocodile, Fun City Editions, Connie Manda,
Speaker 2: Micabro and Second Site all duking out for this one. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 2: then of course that means large slate boutique is next.
Speaker 2: We got Aero Video Criterion, Keino, Larber Severn and Vinegar Syndrome.
Speaker 2: Again nigh impossible to choose Keino kind of cheating putting
Speaker 2: out two undred and fifty titles a year.
Speaker 4: Man, I feel the tension mounting as I look at these.
Speaker 2: Only a couple left now, best new label Bleeding Skull,
Speaker 2: cartoona Celluloid Dream, Cinematograph or Great Face Films.
Speaker 3: This is an interesting slate as well. I have a
Speaker 3: feeling what's gonna win. But that's a good that's a
Speaker 3: good group. It is a good group for sure.
Speaker 4: So sub labels countess labels.
Speaker 2: Yes, because theoretically they are you know, curated entirely differently.
Speaker 2: Both of the ones that are sub labels, there are
Speaker 2: different packaging altogether.
Speaker 4: That's true. I had to get a whole different sized
Speaker 4: shelf for one of those.
Speaker 3: Uh sorry, Sibner, I cannot agree with that at all.
Speaker 3: They put out the Case of the Bloody Iris.
Speaker 4: Oh wait, what's the one that's coming Black Belly, the Tarantula, Black.
Speaker 3: Belly, the Transla. And then they also not short Night
Speaker 3: of Glass Dolls.
Speaker 4: I love Short Night of Glass Dolls. Oh man, well,
Speaker 4: good for them.
Speaker 3: Then you have best Region B label.
Speaker 2: Whoever focused in Region B, you got arrow, imprint, indicator,
Speaker 2: radiance and second sight should point out here Umbrella just
Speaker 2: barely missed making the cutoff here. No Eureka, No Eureka,
Speaker 2: Eureka did not even get close.
Speaker 3: I gotta yeah.
Speaker 4: But their loose fad box set is all over the place.
Speaker 3: It's true.
Speaker 2: Region A label is Arrow, Criterion, Keno, Severn, Vinegar Syndrome
Speaker 2: another another tough slate to fight in there.
Speaker 4: Which is ain't loyal. I'll tell you what.
Speaker 2: Then, finally, look at this, dude, best overall release.
Speaker 3: This one has ten nominees to choose.
Speaker 2: From all the Haunts Bars Volume two, The Blair Witch Project,
Speaker 2: Frank Caprick, Columbia, Game of Clones, Hollywood nine zero two eight,
Speaker 2: Shasco Volume three, Hit Your four K, The Keep four K,
Speaker 2: Never Ending Story four K, and then in at the
Speaker 2: end Trick or Treat four K from Red Shirt and Syneps.
Speaker 4: I will say this, the slate of nominees for Best
Speaker 4: overaw Release, I think is a great indication of the
Speaker 4: kind of community that this is. I mean, what other
Speaker 4: award show is going to put up Frank Capra and
Speaker 4: Trick or Treat in the same category, yep, or the
Speaker 4: Never Ending Story and the Game and Bruce Littation. That's amazing.
Speaker 4: That's amazing.
Speaker 3: That is the fullest of categories.
Speaker 2: Like I said, voting is open for the entire month
Speaker 2: of January. You can check these out, you know, as
Speaker 2: you get more of your your December titles in, watch
Speaker 2: those before you vote because they might be some of
Speaker 2: your favorites as well. The other couple things you should
Speaker 2: know is the live show will be on February sixteenth.
Speaker 2: This is the Sunday after Super Bowl Sunday. We will
Speaker 2: be live at eight pm Eastern five pm Pacific, and
Speaker 2: we're gonna be doing giveaways during the show. We're gonna
Speaker 2: be doing a bunch of other surprises. The award show
Speaker 2: is treated like a real show that we're gonna have
Speaker 2: videos be a part of it. People are gonna be
Speaker 2: posting responses to it. We've got labels that will be
Speaker 2: reacting to their wins stuff like that. It is gonna
Speaker 2: be a fun, impressive night, and I hope that you
Speaker 2: will join us for.
Speaker 4: I want to highlight Craig's comment about not enough people
Speaker 4: have seen field Day yet. Yeah, you know, and being
Speaker 4: released in December means that it will be screwed in
Speaker 4: next year's shelf shop as well. So sad, sad, very sad.
Speaker 4: But I hope people do see field Day because it's
Speaker 4: kind of awesome.
Speaker 3: It truly is.
Speaker 2: All right, that was my stuff. Let's get into your
Speaker 2: wish list first.
Speaker 3: Oh, I don't know.
Speaker 4: I think people are getting tired.
Speaker 3: Until a bit two and a half hours, my friend, Well.
Speaker 4: I'll go quick then. Okay, had a very good year
Speaker 4: last year in terms of movies that had been on DVD,
Speaker 4: but and then just like suddenly got upgraded, like The
Speaker 4: Undertaker and his Palace, Like, oh my god. So the
Speaker 4: Blood Arama Volume two release of the year. I noticed
Speaker 4: it wasn't nominated for anything. Robbed should have won everything.
Speaker 4: Never fudo the next generation would come out on four K.
Speaker 4: Simple Plan of course, the announcement of the new box
Speaker 4: set from Cauldron that has Black Demons and Simple Plan
Speaker 4: we got Hawk the Slayers coming out just couldn't have
Speaker 4: been happier about how things with sex and fury. So
Speaker 4: I thought I would throw up some titles just in
Speaker 4: the hopes that, you know, my prayers, my kisses in
Speaker 4: the wind might lead to some blu ray or four
Speaker 4: K magic. So first I just want to flash some
Speaker 4: movies that have Warner brother his logos on him, in
Speaker 4: the hopes that the archive might finally give us Sergeant
Speaker 4: Rutledge what he strove. John Ford kind of a big deal,
Speaker 4: Wuthering Heights, William Wyler, Holy Cow, one of the greatest
Speaker 4: films ever made, Lawrence Olivier, Wuthering Heights, Marlo o'bron Let's
Speaker 4: get it, Crush Groove?
Speaker 3: Are you kidding? We did?
Speaker 4: We did a Michael Campus Renaissance Crush Groove. I want
Speaker 4: to see John Frankenheimer's Great The Gypsy Moths get a restoration,
Speaker 4: Elia Kazanne. While speaking of Warren Baity mistreating women here
Speaker 4: he mistreats Natalie Wood Splintering in the Grass Great. And
Speaker 4: of course we've talked about this one before. You know,
Speaker 4: Stan and I both love Jay Underwood, the Boy who
Speaker 4: Could Fly. All of these are Warner Brothers titles. Love
Speaker 4: to see them upgraded. Be happy to provide any special features.
Speaker 3: Yes please.
Speaker 4: All right, so I haven't even gotten into my regular list.
Speaker 4: I'm just showing batches, all right. We've been told that
Speaker 4: this will never happen, but I just want to flash him.
Speaker 4: You know, Severn did a great service with some William
Speaker 4: Girdler titles, Day of the Animals, Grizzly. But we're still
Speaker 4: waiting for Abby, Yes, one of the great Exorcist ripoffs.
Speaker 4: We're still waiting for Asylum of Satan. That's a something
Speaker 4: weird video title. Yeah, and we were told to our
Speaker 4: face that this would never happen, but I'm wishing for
Speaker 4: it anyway. Three on a meat Hook one of my
Speaker 4: top ten favorite films of all time, languishing on an
Speaker 4: Alpha video DVD, which is not a place I would
Speaker 4: want to languish myself. All right, I'm about to get
Speaker 4: into the proper list, but I also have to show
Speaker 4: the Hanso the Razor series. Are you familiar with Hanso
Speaker 4: the Razor.
Speaker 3: I've not seen anything at length, but I've seen clips
Speaker 3: of a couple. He's Hanso the Razor. It Tommy the
Speaker 3: incorruptible and uncompromised, uncompromising samurai cop and he packs a
Speaker 3: weapon more devastating than any sword, that's his penis. And
Speaker 3: then you muted yourself. Yeah, I had to cough. Okay,
Speaker 3: here we go.
Speaker 4: These are my top movies that I want to come out.
Speaker 4: Are you ready?
Speaker 3: I can't wait for this?
Speaker 4: Okay. So there's no cover for this one because it's
Speaker 4: in a box set. Only A very Special Favor starring
Speaker 4: Rock Hudson and Leslie Carona. I don't even want to
Speaker 4: tell you what it's about, but it's so hilarious. Okay,
Speaker 4: I'll tell you. Leslie Corone plays a single professional woman
Speaker 4: and her dad wants her to be domesticated and married
Speaker 4: and pumping out babies, so he hires Rock Hudson to
Speaker 4: seduce his daughter, Leslie Corone. And it's one of the
Speaker 4: most sexist romantic comedy has ever made. But it's so funny.
Speaker 4: So what a very special favorite? Speaking of sexism, I
Speaker 4: want Seven Men from Now, the best Bud Butecker movie,
Speaker 4: one of the best Lee Marvin performances ever, definitely the
Speaker 4: best Randolph Scott performance, and Gail Russell is a treasure
Speaker 4: taken from us too early. Seven Men from Now one
Speaker 4: of the all time greatest westerns. All Right, I hope
Speaker 4: people are chiming in, all right.
Speaker 3: They are.
Speaker 2: Jeremy says, I thought Will said this was gonna be quick.
Speaker 2: Simonar says, what are we talking about? I'm just kidding.
Speaker 2: Evan says we are overdue for a Hanso upgrade. And
Speaker 2: then I don't know if you saw Colton says, planning
Speaker 2: to watch all of Girdler listeners A Kentucky filmmaker deep dive.
Speaker 4: Well three on the meho will change your life? Why
Speaker 4: is it the day the Earth stood still out yet?
Speaker 3: That's a damn good question.
Speaker 4: Yeah. I'm not the kind of person who says why
Speaker 4: no four K? But why no four K? Like you
Speaker 4: can get a better copy of the Keanu Reeves version. Yeah,
Speaker 4: day the Eurist is still seminal seminal. And you know
Speaker 4: I would never complain. I would never look at gift
Speaker 4: Horse in the Mouth. We got such a treasure trove
Speaker 4: of Doris Wishman movies from AGFA, but one title that
Speaker 4: was noticeably missing was A Night to Dismember, which has
Speaker 4: a fantastic commentary by Wishman herself. I'd like to just
Speaker 4: remember you like to see them keeping it with something weird.
Speaker 4: One of my favorite Christian anti drug propaganda films, Blood Freak.
Speaker 4: Love to see Blood Freak get a good release. If
Speaker 4: you've never seen Blood Freak, you're missing out.
Speaker 3: But the one that tirely requested absolutely.
Speaker 4: Want okay, one of the most important film noir yet
Speaker 4: to be released, and this is in my public domain.
Speaker 3: Something filmmasters, come on.
Speaker 4: Yeah da Rudolph Mattei's great film d o A.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: You thought this was going to be entertaining, but it's
Speaker 4: just me.
Speaker 3: It's just shouting into the voyage, shouting.
Speaker 4: Yeah. All right, I gotta talk about vibrations for a second.
Speaker 4: Are you familiar with this movie?
Speaker 3: No? But I see the names, all right.
Speaker 4: Christina Applegate James Marshall of Twin Peaks Fame. Marshall plays
Speaker 4: a musician who gets attacked by some bullies and his
Speaker 4: hands are chopped off, so he can't play music anymore,
Speaker 4: and he gets really depressed, and so Christina Applegate is
Speaker 4: like quipping, so depressed, you're depressing me. And so Marshall
Speaker 4: is given some artificial hands and so now instead of
Speaker 4: shredding on his guitar, he learns how to play rave
Speaker 4: music on the synthesizers, and so he creates this robotic
Speaker 4: or this cybertronic persona, and he starts doing raves and
Speaker 4: garages with his fake hands. And this is awesome. Speaking
Speaker 4: of Jesus, Franco Zephyrelli's brother, Son's sister Moon, this movie
Speaker 4: is wonderful. It'll make you a believer. Obi Wan Kenobi
Speaker 4: plays the Pope. Donovan does the soundtrack. And this is
Speaker 4: the hippiest Christian movie ever. We love Franco Zephyrelli. No
Speaker 4: one is under age in this movie. It's okay to
Speaker 4: like it all right now, it just feels bad. Speaking
Speaker 4: of child stars taken from Us too soon, Corey Hayne
Speaker 4: along with Patricia Arquette and Prayer of the roller Boys,
Speaker 4: a near future dystopia in which drug dealers are all
Speaker 4: inline skaters who skate information. This is awesome, Prayer the
Speaker 4: roller Boys. Someone helped me out. Ted V Michaels is
Speaker 4: probably best known for the Corpse Grinders, but he's almost
Speaker 4: as well known for Blood Orgy of the She Devils.
Speaker 4: Come on, people, Blood Orgy of the she Devils. Oh man, earlier,
Speaker 4: I can't remember who, but somebody asked us what our
Speaker 4: first masturbation movies were. Tanya's Island. I alluded to this
Speaker 4: one last month. So it's the second movie by the
Speaker 4: guy who made Alice, Sweet Alice, and it stars Vanity
Speaker 4: and it's about a woman in an abusive relationship who
Speaker 4: finds a new relationship with a gorilla. And it's great.
Speaker 4: Tanya's Island. Tanya's Island. Okay, halfway there. Speaking of Corey Haim,
Speaker 4: you've probably you're probably familiar with just one of the guys,
Speaker 4: but have you seen just one of the girls. This
Speaker 4: is actually a good movie and it has a lot
Speaker 4: to say about gender. Corey Ham pretends to be a
Speaker 4: lady years before Rob Schneider.
Speaker 3: Did it tastefully, I mean more.
Speaker 4: Okay, Thomasine and bush Rod, come on.
Speaker 3: Half of these movies do does sound real?
Speaker 4: Are you serious?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Oh my gosh, this is one of the great all right,
Speaker 4: this is a Max Julian film, Western, modern western. This
Speaker 4: is fantastic.
Speaker 3: Needs a release, Craig says, more than a half almost done.
Speaker 4: I'm getting there. Don't forget Lady about Ladybugs, the film
Speaker 4: that Quentin Tarantino doesn't want you to see. He wants
Speaker 4: you to see that Raypee Porno, but he doesn't want
Speaker 4: you to see City on Fire.
Speaker 3: Yeah that's a big one.
Speaker 4: A real big one, ring a lamb. Why no four K?
Speaker 4: City on Fire? All right? Okay, okay, yeah, doing this
Speaker 4: next time? Going to Thailand. Here's the Black Tiger. Are
Speaker 4: you familiar with this one?
Speaker 3: I've heard the name.
Speaker 4: It's a taie spaghetti western love story that will make
Speaker 4: you weep. It is impossible to watch this movie without crying.
Speaker 4: But you're also going to laugh a lot because the
Speaker 4: spaghetti western parts are hilarious.
Speaker 3: Spaghetti western if it's tie, do.
Speaker 4: You see the cover?
Speaker 3: I do?
Speaker 4: Yeah, Well it's a time movie, but it's it's this.
Speaker 4: It's a spoof of spaghetti westerns part partly, but it's
Speaker 4: also like a yeah, this like romance, this domed romance
Speaker 4: that's super said as gorgeous, the like this need this
Speaker 4: really needs a four K because the colors, the compositions.
Speaker 4: This is one of the most beautiful movies I've ever seen.
Speaker 4: Pad Thaie Western Craig's awesome Tears of the Black Tiger.
Speaker 4: I thought everybody would have seen this one. I almost
Speaker 4: didn't show this because I figured it was on everybody's list. Seriously,
Speaker 4: you'll know Tears of the Black Tiger. Okay. Great. Strangely enough,
Speaker 4: given the times we're in and given the fact that
Speaker 4: twenty twenty four was the thirtieth anniversary, we need PCU,
Speaker 4: which is completely unavailable. It's not streaming, it's only available
Speaker 4: on an out of print DVD, which I have. This
Speaker 4: is nineteen ninety four, a sort of satire of political correctness.
Speaker 4: David Spade, Jessica Walters, Jeremy Piven, Jon Favreau. This is
Speaker 4: a great, great comedy, super fun and if you're if
Speaker 4: you came of age in the eighties and nineties, it's
Speaker 4: absolutely great. Two things in the commentary. In the comments,
Speaker 4: Flickering Waves is correct, the Gorilla was made by Rick
Speaker 4: Baker and Robert Botten, and Sidner mentioned.
Speaker 3: The great c.
Speaker 4: Thomas Howell, Ray Dawn Chong, James Earl Jones film soul Man. Instead,
Speaker 4: It's not in my pile. I've failed. It was in
Speaker 4: my pile. I actually cut like thirty titles. Jesus all right,
Speaker 4: five left, five left, five left. I'm gonna go in
Speaker 4: order of how much I want. Jeremy Piven, his his,
Speaker 4: his Dad's like a talent agent, so that's how he
Speaker 4: got started. B Monkey Michael Radford film starring Rupert Everett
Speaker 4: and Ossia Argento. This movie is pretty awesome. It's kind
Speaker 4: of like an erotic thriller.
Speaker 3: Yah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, good stuff. Looks like a prequel to m Butterfly.
Speaker 4: Could be, could be? Yeah, Oscio Argenta, Rupert Everett, Sagan
Speaker 4: Suzuki's final film, which stars saying cz from Crouching Tiger,
Speaker 4: Hidden Dragon Princess Raccoon. We all love Sage and Suzuki,
Speaker 4: do we not?
Speaker 3: Was that rhetorical? Okay? Yes? Mm hmm.
Speaker 4: Princess Raccoon three left speaking speaking of Sidney J. Fury
Speaker 4: Detention Dolph Lungren. Of course, Dolph Lungren trapped. A terrorist
Speaker 4: has shut down a school, and Dolph Lungeren must infiltrate
Speaker 4: it through the crack in the world. This movie is dope.
Speaker 4: Detention needs a new addition, all right, my final two
Speaker 4: h this is like My White Whale Midnight Madness. Yes, okay,
Speaker 4: now we're in familiar territory.
Speaker 3: Come on, it's a big deal.
Speaker 4: We need this, We need this.
Speaker 3: Unfortunately, you see the reason why that will never be released, probably.
Speaker 4: Because it's MG. Wait, No, it's Disney, right.
Speaker 3: It's Disney. Yeah.
Speaker 4: Well they released the Scarlet Witch, the WandaVision.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's modern. They want to make money off of that.
Speaker 4: Well, I just feel like.
Speaker 3: I'm hoping there's bootlegs. Are that out there?
Speaker 4: Well, I don't need a bootleg, I've got the DVD.
Speaker 4: I want a better addition, some people are mentioning Kindergarten
Speaker 4: Cop two, which does start Dolph Lungren and he is
Speaker 4: undercovering a Montessory school and it's kind of hilarious. It's
Speaker 4: a great scene where he unpacks his lunch and he
Speaker 4: has a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. All right. My
Speaker 4: last one is the one that actually have the most
Speaker 4: hope for because it's a trauma licensed title. I've mentioned
Speaker 4: it before. Merchants of Death starring PJ. Souls William Smith.
Speaker 4: This movie is amazing. It has a climactic battle between
Speaker 4: a good guy and a bad guy in which the
Speaker 4: good guy is whipping him with a whip and saying, ooh,
Speaker 4: you like that, don't you. It's amazing. Merchants of Death
Speaker 4: is my favorite trauma licensed title that has not yet
Speaker 4: been released, even more so than Wizards of the Demon
Speaker 4: Sword the Fred Owner ray film.
Speaker 3: All right, that's it.
Speaker 2: I want to at least some so all through out
Speaker 2: there cecil be demented.
Speaker 3: How do we not have that yet? How do do
Speaker 3: we not have Pecker yet?
Speaker 4: I was gonna say not to mention.
Speaker 3: Yeah, those are two pretty damn big ones. I you
Speaker 3: know we've had in teas as possibly coming from Indicator,
Speaker 3: and then the rumor is that this is off completely.
Speaker 2: Where is California Split? I know that's one people have
Speaker 2: wanted for quite some time. Another big one from when
Speaker 2: I was younger, Dead Presidents obviously is on a lot
Speaker 2: of people's list of like, hey, this absolutely needs to
Speaker 2: be on Blue After after he's gotten so much love?
Speaker 3: Where is the Dark Backward?
Speaker 2: I know that Adam Rifkin has hit or missed for
Speaker 2: a lot of people, but that's one that we we
Speaker 2: certainly should have. Yeah, I would love to see the
Speaker 2: original House Party on Blu Ray.
Speaker 3: I know it doesn't mean that it's well, let me
Speaker 3: start that over.
Speaker 2: I know it likely will not happen, but I would
Speaker 2: love to see the modern Soderberg Kimmi out on some
Speaker 2: sort of physical media release.
Speaker 3: Really enjoyed that movie. A couple of years ago, but
Speaker 3: it's just a Hulu film, so probably not gonna happen
Speaker 3: at all. Gosh, there's so many more of these that
Speaker 3: could do well, like The Night Flyer. I know that's
Speaker 3: one that people want, and it's related Stephen King. How
Speaker 3: do we not have that yet?
Speaker 4: Prom Night two, three and four.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a big one, especially too obviously.
Speaker 2: I moderate the Screen Factory group on Facebook, and I
Speaker 2: would love to see somebody put out Carnosaur just so
Speaker 2: I can see people stop begging for it.
Speaker 4: Carnoisaur. Oh and any number of Jim One Norski movies
Speaker 4: that have not yet known of course.
Speaker 3: Oh that's hilarious.
Speaker 4: Yeah, just out of a random selection, only one Blue
Speaker 4: Ray Sports Riss, which Snat's put out. But we've got
Speaker 4: Hard Bounty, Pandora Project, The Assault, Stormtrooper, Militia Rangers, Final Voyage,
Speaker 4: Desert Thunder a Blaze, I can go on.
Speaker 2: Last thing I'll mention is we had a couple of
Speaker 2: spoof films that I loved when I was younger, Like,
Speaker 2: how do we not have Spy Hard.
Speaker 3: On Blu Ray yet? I'd be damn good for me.
Speaker 3: I'd love that. Yeah. I think that's it from that list.
Speaker 4: Dear god, you do what. I watched a couple of
Speaker 4: weeks ago, No Vampires Suck, Oh geez, and I read
Speaker 4: I read about it and it said that the guys
Speaker 4: who made it, like every movie they make is awful
Speaker 4: and everybody hates them. And I watched it and it
Speaker 4: was awful, and I hated it in the mood for
Speaker 4: a parody movie. But they don't. They don't make them
Speaker 4: like these too.
Speaker 2: No, that's that's absolutely true, speaking of not making things
Speaker 2: like they used to.
Speaker 3: The year in review.
Speaker 2: I know there's a couple of things that we've wanted
Speaker 2: to discuss as like highs and lows from twenty twenty
Speaker 2: four one of the big things. And I know that
Speaker 2: this is sort of discussed at length by everybody and
Speaker 2: look down upon.
Speaker 3: I'm I'm kind.
Speaker 2: Of really tired of the whole cardboard war, going on
Speaker 2: limited editions, getting stuck with, you know, releases just to
Speaker 2: get a hard box release or a slipcover that doesn't
Speaker 2: really enhance what we're getting in any way.
Speaker 3: I mean, you and I discussed this list this week.
Speaker 2: I would love to see a label take a staunch
Speaker 2: stand and say it would be swell to put out
Speaker 2: a limited edition where the only thing that's limited about
Speaker 2: is like maybe a disc with a few extra bonus features.
Speaker 2: Would people still buy that?
Speaker 3: That's the biggest question.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, this is something that I've been harping
Speaker 4: on for a while, like, and I think other people
Speaker 4: who produce supplemental features will say the same thing, you know.
Speaker 4: And I don't blame labels for this. Most labels don't
Speaker 4: have a whole lot of extra cash to throw around, right,
Speaker 4: you know, for people who write and produce audio commentaries
Speaker 4: and visual essays and interviews and stuff and essays and
Speaker 4: written essays, the pay is very low across the board,
Speaker 4: and it's not reflected in the price of the the
Speaker 4: price of the release, I don't think. Whereas a slipcover
Speaker 4: adds between two and five dollars, some kind of wenticular
Speaker 4: thing adds ten.
Speaker 3: Bucks sometimes, yeah, you know.
Speaker 4: And people clamor for it and get upset when they
Speaker 4: miss out on the slips. And I would really like
Speaker 4: to see a label say, you know what, you can
Speaker 4: get a bare bones edition that has this great restoration,
Speaker 4: or even a four K restoration for X price point.
Speaker 4: You can get an addition that's got commentary and interviews
Speaker 4: and visual essays for X price point and you can
Speaker 4: get you know, a deluxe one with the cardboard if
Speaker 4: you want, I guess.
Speaker 3: And that one, make that one like forty dollars more.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I just I wonder if people really value the
Speaker 4: supplemental features enough to pay for them and incentivize companies
Speaker 4: to invest more in them. I was just telling you
Speaker 4: the day the other day, right, I listened to an
Speaker 4: audio commentary that a boutique label put on a new release,
Speaker 4: and it was so insultingly bad that I got angry.
Speaker 4: Like the person doing the commentary was actively said, you
Speaker 4: know what, you're gonna hear a lot of like silent
Speaker 4: parts because it's really a chore to fill up ninety minutes.
Speaker 4: And I'm like, you, motherfucker, you know, like we write
Speaker 4: this stuff.
Speaker 3: And that was an expensive release too.
Speaker 4: Yeah, And so you know, I recognized that there's some
Speaker 4: variance in the quality of supplemental features, but if you
Speaker 4: were actually paying for them, then labels would have more
Speaker 4: incentive to be discerning about who they worked.
Speaker 2: With and not only you know, paying for them, but
Speaker 2: also giving feedback on them, letting letting labels know, hey,
Speaker 2: we appreciate seeing this contributor. And this isn't even just
Speaker 2: talking about Will or anybody with SFP. We're at the
Speaker 2: point where some of these people are you know, asked
Speaker 2: to do a commentary and their.
Speaker 3: Will wasn't kidding.
Speaker 2: Some of the places that pay for commentaries are literally
Speaker 2: like a couple dollars an hour for the amount of
Speaker 2: work that we do on some of these commentaries, and
Speaker 2: it is crazy that there are so many people that
Speaker 2: just play never hear them. And for the people that
Speaker 2: it's important to, I'm glad that it's important to you,
Speaker 2: But most people would rather pay seven dollars more to
Speaker 2: get a slipcover than a dollar more to get a
Speaker 2: well informed, properly researched audio commentary.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I would like to talk more. Maybe next
Speaker 4: month we can talk about the different the evolution of
Speaker 4: audio commentaries over the past twenty five years, which I
Speaker 4: think is really interesting and which has been a subject
Speaker 4: of some controversy in the commentary world over the past
Speaker 4: few years. So we'll save that for the February show.
Speaker 4: But yeah, you know, this goes back to I'm sure
Speaker 4: a lot of people or maybe some people listened to
Speaker 4: Mike from Grindhouse Video kind of weigh in on the
Speaker 4: cardboard war wars and supplemental features in his live stream.
Speaker 4: What was it two weeks ago?
Speaker 3: It was December fifteenth, If you want to go back
Speaker 3: and watch the live stream over on the Grindhouse Video
Speaker 3: YouTube channel.
Speaker 4: And he talks about some other stuff that I'm not
Speaker 4: going to comment on because I think you don't need
Speaker 4: my opinion. Just listen to Mike and look around on Reddit.
Speaker 4: But I was really intrigued to hear his perspective on
Speaker 4: packaging versus supplemental features and look, I like a nice
Speaker 4: slip cover, and I raved about the special edition packaging that,
Speaker 4: for example, def Crocodile has and Snaps has similar packaging.
Speaker 4: I just held up Trick or Treat a few minutes ago,
Speaker 4: like that's really cool. I don't mind a little extra
Speaker 4: for a package that really looks nice on the shelf,
Speaker 4: and I don't know, adds a touch of class to it.
Speaker 4: But to me, the supplemental the like number one is
Speaker 4: the movie itself, and number two is the supplemental features
Speaker 4: that helped me to learn about the movie or abouts
Speaker 4: in the movie, and the packaging is the least important,
Speaker 4: which is one of the reasons I probably have so
Speaker 4: many Kino titles, right, they don't. They just started putting
Speaker 4: slipcovers on recently, and they're not like anything special, So
Speaker 4: I don't know. I saw Craig made a comment earlier
Speaker 4: that like a lot of people don't even.
Speaker 3: Watch the movies.
Speaker 4: They just get the package and put it on a shelf.
Speaker 3: Yep.
Speaker 4: And you know, I guess, I mean, you need, you need.
Speaker 4: Anybody who's going to buy something for any reason is
Speaker 4: good for a company. So I'm not I don't know
Speaker 4: what they're doing, but great, I'm glad they're buying stuff.
Speaker 4: But oh yeah, and I want to say that too.
Speaker 4: I also love the idea that commentaries can come out
Speaker 4: as podcasts so that people can listen to them without
Speaker 4: necessarily having to be tied to the living room where
Speaker 4: they're where they're watching the movie. I think any kind
Speaker 4: of innovation that allows people to access the features in
Speaker 4: as many ways as possible, whether through transcripts or through
Speaker 4: podcasts or whatever. But you know, one of the points
Speaker 4: that Mike was making, and I hope he's wrong about this,
Speaker 4: and he said he hopes he was wrong, wrong about this.
Speaker 4: He's on the kind of this this industry has about
Speaker 4: five years left, he's in that camp. But he said that,
Speaker 4: you know, he felt like one of the reasons is
Speaker 4: that there's this is that the cardboard wars are pricing
Speaker 4: people out of the hobby. And so you go back
Speaker 4: to we mentioned the price of virtuosity and Congo. You know, like,
Speaker 4: if it cost fifty bucks to get a copy of Congo,
Speaker 4: what are we? Uh, what are we doing?
Speaker 2: And that's that's the thing with stuff like that. Do
Speaker 2: we really need a movie in a case, in a
Speaker 2: slip in a box with a fancy ribbon to pull
Speaker 2: it out with a big you know, there's so much
Speaker 2: that goes into that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, And it's funny because Severn has some
Speaker 4: of the most intricate pat packaging around, like Kathy's Curse
Speaker 4: for example. But I know David Gregory hates it, he says,
Speaker 4: so every time he gets a chance. And I remember
Speaker 4: back in the day, when you know, I would get
Speaker 4: shouting scream factory stuff with the little flimsless flimsy slipcovers
Speaker 4: on him. I'd throw those away, you know, because they
Speaker 4: would just get dinged up, you know, and look kind
Speaker 4: of bad. So I don't, you know, I don't know
Speaker 4: the answer to any of this stuff. The point of
Speaker 4: the rant is I wish people valued the supplemental features
Speaker 4: more in general, the commentaries and the visual essays, because
Speaker 4: those are the those are the things that add real
Speaker 4: value to the movie. You know, the packaging is nice,
Speaker 4: but it doesn't have anything to do with anything.
Speaker 3: I also think it's important to kind of highlight the
Speaker 3: word choice that you just make, which is supplemental features.
Speaker 3: When we're constantly market marketing THEEDS as bonus features or
Speaker 3: special features, it doesn't really show you what these features
Speaker 3: actually can do. And one of the things that we've
Speaker 3: tried to do with all of the someone's favorite production
Speaker 3: stuff that we've done is genuinely is the visual essay
Speaker 3: or commentary that we're providing is it increase the value
Speaker 3: of the film that you purchased. And so far we've
Speaker 3: been able to say for everything that that's that's the case. Obviously,
Speaker 3: text essays and written essays are the same. And I've
Speaker 3: you know, been trying to lobby for years for all
Speaker 3: these boutique labels. Instead of just hiding, you know, those
Speaker 3: those written essays for the first thousand releases that sell,
Speaker 3: can we you know, release those as a PDF after
Speaker 3: those limited editions sell out so that everybody can access them.
Speaker 3: If somebody put the time into research something for weeks
Speaker 3: and you paid them, I don't know, a couple hundred
Speaker 3: dollars for a written essay, and now only a thousand
Speaker 3: people have it, and out of those thousand, how many
Speaker 3: are even going to read it. Many of us want
Speaker 3: to be able to read it and didn't get it
Speaker 3: on release day and now it's gone on the website.
Speaker 3: We'd love to be able to read it. I'm just
Speaker 3: thinking about the fact that.
Speaker 4: If a thousand people read a booklet essay, that would
Speaker 4: be more than I bought my to w Oper book.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Fuck me.
Speaker 3: So.
Speaker 4: I see a lot of interesting comments in the chat
Speaker 4: that add a lot of important perspectives to the conversation.
Speaker 4: Fomo fears over extending oneself as a collector, which I'm
Speaker 4: certainly guilty of some costs. They are like, well, I
Speaker 4: might teach this one day, or I might need it
Speaker 4: for research for a book or something where sometimes I'll
Speaker 4: justify it like well, if I buy it on sale
Speaker 4: and then watch it and don't like it, I can
Speaker 4: sell it and make back most of the money I spent,
Speaker 4: which sometimes happens, but usually the stuff just stays on
Speaker 4: the shew. And some people are super into supplemental features.
Speaker 4: Some people are like, I never try them. Some people
Speaker 4: we know have started trying them for the first time. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 4: I don't know. I don't know what to say about
Speaker 4: it except that I wish that, and I mean it
Speaker 4: would take I don't know some companies, I guess some
Speaker 4: companies I guess place more value on supplementals than others
Speaker 4: and promote them more. I mean, certainly there are certain
Speaker 4: there are some names that we all know. Ye Stan says,
Speaker 4: I should require people to buy my book if you
Speaker 4: require a fun fact, if a professor requires students to
Speaker 4: buy the book that they wrote, they have to go
Speaker 4: through a very cumbersome conflict of interest uh administrative process.
Speaker 4: Good well, okay, except if you hire me to teach
Speaker 4: a subject that I'm an expert in, and I wrote
Speaker 4: the book that I'm an expert on the subject that
Speaker 4: I'm an expert on. Shouldn't that be the books? Why
Speaker 4: would I Why would I be like, I'm an expert
Speaker 4: on this. But you know, you don't have to read
Speaker 4: the expert thing that I wrote. You can just read
Speaker 4: this other fucking idiot. It's kind of it's kind of,
Speaker 4: but the really the only people the professors who abused
Speaker 4: that stuff for the STEM people. Uh. I know this
Speaker 4: is off off topic, but if you're in pology, you
Speaker 4: take a math or a science course, you have to
Speaker 4: you have to buy some book that costs like one
Speaker 4: hundred and fifty bucks and it has some like computer
Speaker 4: program associated with it, and the professor who wrote that
Speaker 4: book is going to write a new forward for it
Speaker 4: every couple of years so that they can get a
Speaker 4: new addition and a new computer program associated with it,
Speaker 4: so that you can never get a used book or
Speaker 4: reuse something. They're the ones, the science and math people
Speaker 4: are the ones that gouge students. The humanities people are like, oh,
Speaker 4: you can buy my book used, you know, no big deal.
Speaker 4: The important thing is that you get something out of it.
Speaker 4: We screw ourselves.
Speaker 3: Here's the site to pirate it.
Speaker 4: Yeah right, well it's like this. It's it's like working
Speaker 4: for you know, not just people who make supplemental features,
Speaker 4: but the people who run the boutiques themselves. They're like,
Speaker 4: none of them are making millions of dollars. No, and
Speaker 4: not even Vinegarson.
Speaker 2: We definitely want to, you know, point out that we
Speaker 2: do understand, like costs are going up on everything. I
Speaker 2: mean even multiple of the boutiques that we've talked about
Speaker 2: tonight in one way or another license from Paramount, and
Speaker 2: Paramount is going through some changes right now, and their
Speaker 2: licensing prices are going up because everything is more expensive nowadays,
Speaker 2: and so stuff like that is difficult. And I get
Speaker 2: that proper restoration, you know, getting updates from Craig on
Speaker 2: some of the films that he's restoring, and how much
Speaker 2: work goes into these frame by frame by frame. It's
Speaker 2: a lot of work, and that's people just I don't
Speaker 2: know that there's good things to support and are worth
Speaker 2: that money, But do we need to put fifteen dollars
Speaker 2: into a release just to have a hard box and
Speaker 2: a slipcover and magnets involved? And I don't know, Like
Speaker 2: I have a Chess Franco tree topper.
Speaker 3: Why do I have that? I know that you're going
Speaker 3: to push on the head, but you.
Speaker 4: Know it's funny, I don't have that. I looked at
Speaker 4: the price and I was like, I can't do it.
Speaker 3: I want it, Yeah, yeah, you know you for twice retail.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I mean, I like, I like fancy packaging.
Speaker 4: I do, I just don't think it should be valued
Speaker 4: more highly than the the supplementals. And it requires an
Speaker 4: investment on the not not not just a monetary investment,
Speaker 4: but a UH an investment of UH marketing to increase
Speaker 4: people's interest in supplemental features. You know, Like, I don't
Speaker 4: know about you. I don't get controversial, but I really
Speaker 4: hate sexists. And I'm going to relate. I'm going to
Speaker 4: somehow yoke what I'm talking about to women's sports. So
Speaker 4: hear me out for a second. I'll go fast. So
Speaker 4: people like Megan Rappino, right, and professional women's soccer talk
Speaker 4: a lot about pay equity. The w NBA talks a
Speaker 4: lot about pay equity, right, and they're constantly getting pushedback
Speaker 4: from from people, mostly men, who are like, well, nobody watches.
Speaker 3: So you don't.
Speaker 4: You don't. You're not as valuable as male athletes because
Speaker 4: you don't make it bring in as much revenant.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 4: It's like, yeah, but the reason right that we all
Speaker 4: watch men's soccer and men's basketball and men's this and
Speaker 4: then's that is because of decades of marketing and investment
Speaker 4: and publicity and then putting this product in front of
Speaker 4: us and saying here it is. Watch you know, college
Speaker 4: football and care about it. Watch college basketball and care
Speaker 4: about it, and watch professional whatever. If that same amount
Speaker 4: of investment and time were put into women's sports, and
Speaker 4: as we are beginning to see, there will be an
Speaker 4: increase in interest, right, And we've definitely seen that over
Speaker 4: the last year with Caitlin Clark and some of the
Speaker 4: other ones. Yes, Angel Reis, she's great. I love her,
Speaker 4: and so I look at I look at supplemental features
Speaker 4: kind of in the same principle, right, because because they
Speaker 4: haven't been uh emphasized and highlighted and marketed. And sometimes, right,
Speaker 4: some stars will break through. Right. We all know Sam Dee,
Speaker 4: and we know we know people like Troy Howarth and
Speaker 4: Nathaniel Thompson and Howard Berger and and and so on, Right,
Speaker 4: But a lot of times they break through because of
Speaker 4: their own efforts, not because of promotion from the labels.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 4: It's because they do the podcasts and they're prolific, and
Speaker 4: they gain a reputation for quality, and they've become such
Speaker 4: a familiar name because every release has their damn name
Speaker 4: on it.
Speaker 2: They literally are building a brand right. That's how they're
Speaker 2: writing books and helping with documentaries and starting patreons and
Speaker 2: doing all of those things to make sure that you see,
Speaker 2: all of their hard work goes into all of this.
Speaker 4: Right, and a lot of them are doing it without
Speaker 4: additional support from the labels. And I hope that begins
Speaker 4: to hope that I hope that you know, and I
Speaker 4: think one of the points of someone's favorite productions is
Speaker 4: to build connections and collaborate among so many of these
Speaker 4: writers and producers and researchers.
Speaker 3: And labels too, labels so that.
Speaker 4: The work gets more valued, you know.
Speaker 2: And that's yeah, that's where we'd love to see promotion,
Speaker 2: you know, we get we get a trailer for a
Speaker 2: film coming out in a release, how about a trailer
Speaker 2: for some of the features, you know, make it a
Speaker 2: minute long highlight your favorite part, you know, if you're
Speaker 2: working at a label, highlight the favorite part of a commentary,
Speaker 2: a couple stills from a visual essay, or you know,
Speaker 2: play twelve seconds of it.
Speaker 3: That's your IP.
Speaker 2: Now you're the label, make that into a to a
Speaker 2: supplemental trailer that you can put on social media and
Speaker 2: get people going, oh, I get this stuff too. Instead
Speaker 2: of just reading about what it is. Now I can
Speaker 2: see what those are added to the main trailer. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: make a five minute trailer.
Speaker 3: We'd love to see that.
Speaker 4: In a world where Ryan Vril and Will Dodson talk
Speaker 4: about cats having sex.
Speaker 6: Stato miosochism is on the rise. Yeah, you know the
Speaker 6: cruel thing too.
Speaker 2: That is not really a part of this, but actually
Speaker 2: should be highlighted. One of the highlights of like Canada
Speaker 2: in nineteen eighty three, the government helped fund some of
Speaker 2: these pieces of entertainment and so that alone got things made.
Speaker 2: Japan right now is doing that. They have an entertainment
Speaker 2: fund that they're filling into things like home video. And
Speaker 2: if we had stuff like that coming all the way
Speaker 2: down from the government or at the state level or whatever,
Speaker 2: where they could actually help supplement costs for things that
Speaker 2: enlighten and encourage the education through art, a lot of
Speaker 2: this stuff would be so much better.
Speaker 3: I mean, the fact that we have national.
Speaker 2: Archives literally choosing what films to restore based on how
Speaker 2: soon they're likely to explode is a prob right, I
Speaker 2: mean that sentence alone, that's that's scary.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Well, I'm sure that the NEA and are going to
Speaker 4: have super robust budgets over the next few years, so
Speaker 4: we can maybe apply for some grants. It is funny
Speaker 4: to think about the fact that David Cronenberg's like first
Speaker 4: five or six films were paid for by by Canadian
Speaker 4: tax dollars.
Speaker 3: And now armpit vaginas are out there for the world
Speaker 3: to see. Ah, that's a better place for it. I
Speaker 3: love Rabbit, that's a great movie. Great.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, you know, and uh, well, I'm not even
Speaker 5: going to get into the economics of streaming, which has
Speaker 5: absolutely gutted.
Speaker 4: The film industry.
Speaker 2: And again, you know, we started tonight talking literally about positivity.
Speaker 2: This is not all meant to be negative. It's just literally,
Speaker 2: this is all about our love for this stuff. We
Speaker 2: want this tove, this.
Speaker 4: Is what we want to see happen, this is this
Speaker 4: is what should should happen. Let's celebrate some of these people,
Speaker 4: you know, like, let's celebrate uh Kat Ellinger, Let's celebrate
Speaker 4: Howard Berger. Let's celebrate Sam Deagan and all the other
Speaker 4: great researchers and writers and commentators. You know, it's there's
Speaker 4: an it's it's hard, it's not easy at all. And
Speaker 4: when you hear a bad commentary, holy shit, you know.
Speaker 2: And I wasn't really going to say this, but maybe
Speaker 2: I should. One of the things that I think that
Speaker 2: we've kind of done best as we've done this whole
Speaker 2: someone's favorite thing for last year and a half is
Speaker 2: visual essays are some of the most hit or miss
Speaker 2: items on these releases across the board. Some of them
Speaker 2: are pure garbage. They are not good in any sense
Speaker 2: of the word, and we are really trying to make
Speaker 2: it so what we put on the disc is going
Speaker 2: to make you look at the film afterwards in a
Speaker 2: completely different light and enjoy it more. I genuinely think
Speaker 2: everything that we've put out for a visual essay is
Speaker 2: educational or exciting or innovating in a couple different ways.
Speaker 3: Some of them.
Speaker 2: I mean, we've even done essentially many documentaries on quite
Speaker 2: a few of these. The Jack Arnold piece on Film
Speaker 2: Masters essentially a documentary, and that alone is better than
Speaker 2: I don't know, like a four minute sizzle reel.
Speaker 3: That they call a visual essay. That's that's not a
Speaker 3: visual essay.
Speaker 2: That's just kind of like fun editing, sure, but that's
Speaker 2: not nobody's looking at that for supplementing the feature that
Speaker 2: you're putting on the disc.
Speaker 4: I've seen some recently that have upset me greatly. I
Speaker 4: don't want to name the label or the essay, but
Speaker 4: oh my god. I mean there's been stuff I've seen
Speaker 4: that have maybe want to like I'm done. I'm never
Speaker 4: gonna want I'm done with this. I wasted my money,
Speaker 4: I'm selling it, you know.
Speaker 2: Likewise, I've seen visual essays in the last few months
Speaker 2: that I've watched and said I'm done with this.
Speaker 3: I could never do that.
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, there are so many great pieces out there
Speaker 2: as well, but like some of these labels, I fear like,
Speaker 2: are you even like holding yourself to a standard on
Speaker 2: some of these too, or telling the people that you
Speaker 2: hire like this could be better, This isn't that good?
Speaker 4: Yeah, And I think that's that kind of quality control
Speaker 4: would benefit from from increasing the sort of marketing and
Speaker 4: publicity around the supplemental features. Yeah, but I mean, like
Speaker 4: some some labels do it almost to a fault. Like
Speaker 4: every everything that Terror Vision releases has so many supplemental
Speaker 4: features that I'm just like, what.
Speaker 2: And that's That's what I'm getting at, Like, that's the
Speaker 2: bar nowadays. If you look at something from def Crocodile
Speaker 2: from like we talked about tonight, Saturn's Core Canadian International
Speaker 2: Pictures are blows.
Speaker 3: All of these.
Speaker 2: Labels that they look at a filmmaker and say, well,
Speaker 2: do you happen to have seventeen short films that we
Speaker 2: could have?
Speaker 3: Did you ever do any music videos? Is? You know?
Speaker 2: Can we interview seven people attached to this movie and
Speaker 2: try to compress it all into this disc And the
Speaker 2: fact that we get those is incredible. And then we
Speaker 2: get stuff that you're paying like forty three dollars for
Speaker 2: a Blu ray for a film that isn't like really
Speaker 2: well restored, and you get a bad commentary and a
Speaker 2: visual essay that's six minutes of somebody telling you the
Speaker 2: Wikipedia article on the director.
Speaker 4: Essentially, Yeah, that would be bad.
Speaker 3: I hate those releases.
Speaker 4: Let me tell you whoever owns the rights to Vibrations,
Speaker 4: if you want the greatest commentary that has ever been written,
Speaker 4: we are here for you.
Speaker 3: Oh man, that was such a good transition.
Speaker 4: This is uh, this was not supposed to be this long.
Speaker 3: That's what she said.
Speaker 4: Any other things, you know what, that's what That's what
Speaker 4: anybody in my radio said.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Sivenar wants to know why is the studio like
Speaker 2: shout putting out something like The Holdovers that was nominated
Speaker 2: for Best Picture, and all we get is like three
Speaker 2: interviews with the Craft Service people for five minutes the
Speaker 2: hard part. And I mean this is kind of across
Speaker 2: the board for a lot of these extras. A lot
Speaker 2: of the labels just don't have a lot of money,
Speaker 2: and so if people are like, yeah, we'll do it,
Speaker 2: but we have to be paid for our time, suddenly
Speaker 2: that makes the interviews impossible.
Speaker 4: Well, isn't isn't the Holdovers just like some people staying
Speaker 4: in a college and eating in the cafeteria for a month.
Speaker 4: I would think Craft Services would actually be a good
Speaker 4: interview for that one. Okay, that was good, that was great.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know.
Speaker 4: I mean there are some filmmakers right who were like,
Speaker 4: I don't want any commentaries or I don't want any
Speaker 4: supplemental features because of quality control. Right, They're worried some
Speaker 4: asshole like me is gonna get hired to talk about
Speaker 4: Inland Empire for three hours, And David Lynch is like,
Speaker 4: I don't want Will Dodson to talk about Inland Empire
Speaker 4: and have people think that that's what it means.
Speaker 2: Right, And then you get that's fine. Another thing to
Speaker 2: rant about. I guess, like how thankless some of this
Speaker 2: is shout out right now. Daniel Kramer, who twice this
Speaker 2: year in twenty twenty four put out his own commentaries
Speaker 2: only him for two films that were over three hours long.
Speaker 2: That is one terrifying and two so much more work
Speaker 2: than people have any idea about. It is crazy that
Speaker 2: he is able to.
Speaker 3: Put in that much time.
Speaker 2: He's an incredible filmmaker, but the stuff that he's doing,
