Speaker 1: You are now listening to the Someone's Favorite Productions podcast Network.
Speaker 2: Hello and welcome back to the Disconnected. It's Thursday night,
Speaker 2: meaning it's time to get reconnected with the original. Ryan
Speaker 2: here with us tonight. What's going on? Ryan?
Speaker 3: Hey, it's going good. How you doing? Chad? Great to
Speaker 3: see you.
Speaker 2: I appreciate the shout out. It's good to see you.
Speaker 2: Always a good time.
Speaker 3: It's awesome to be here. Thank you so much for
Speaker 3: having me back.
Speaker 2: Love the background as usual.
Speaker 3: Dam thank you. Yeah, we shelves are almost done. We've
Speaker 3: been working on this a little bit for a little while.
Speaker 3: I need to get tags. I'm next thing up, so
Speaker 3: I'm gonna have shelf tags so I have it all
Speaker 3: my sections.
Speaker 2: I had been talking about. Gosh, this was way back
Speaker 2: in twenty eighteen. I think I was talking with Andrew
Speaker 2: Furtado from Severn back then, and we were talking about
Speaker 2: designing our own and trying to sell them in Facebook groups.
Speaker 2: And things have changed for both of us since twenty eight.
Speaker 3: Just a little bit.
Speaker 2: It is amazing to see you. For those that don't know,
Speaker 2: mister Galland lives in Los Angeles. How's how's the anxiety been?
Speaker 3: The last couple of weeks pretty high. Like I just
Speaker 3: unloaded a bag, my own personal bag that I had
Speaker 3: packed the other day, and just then that's when the
Speaker 3: Hughes fire started in Santa Clarita, and I was like, yeah,
Speaker 3: that makes sense as soon as I, you know, take
Speaker 3: this stuff out of my personal bag. But anyway, it's
Speaker 3: so far, we're still in a safe place and hopefully
Speaker 3: rain is coming this weekend. But it's been it's been challenge.
Speaker 3: It's been challenge. We're all just sort of like taking
Speaker 3: deep breaths and just trying to get through it. But we're,
Speaker 3: you know, to be fair, we are we haven't lost anything.
Speaker 3: So many people have had suffered so much more than us,
Speaker 3: and so you know, we feel very lucky.
Speaker 2: For those that aren't paying super close attention. There were
Speaker 2: the two biggest ones for a little over a week,
Speaker 2: the Palisades fire and the Eating Fire. The Eating fire
Speaker 2: is it's over ninety percent contained now, I believe, and
Speaker 2: pretty much not advancing much and hopefully should be inactive
Speaker 2: here the next day day and a half. Hopefully Palisades
Speaker 2: fires has dramatically decreased its threatening aura. But man, just
Speaker 2: yesterday the Hues fire and in a matter of like
Speaker 2: three hours, literally went from five acres to like forty
Speaker 2: five acres to thirteen hundred acres and now it's like
Speaker 2: three times that size. That thing literally exploded and not
Speaker 2: not trying to use a fire pun, genuinely like in
Speaker 2: an exponential growth type of fashion.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's up by the Angelito's Mountains and it's pretty
Speaker 3: far away from us, but and it wasn't near structures
Speaker 3: or homes, right, but like it's on these hills where
Speaker 3: that there's just brush everywhere, and that can just it
Speaker 3: just lit up like a tinder box and just those
Speaker 3: kinds of things. You're like, man, I'd really love to
Speaker 3: just feel like we've got we got a second to breathe,
Speaker 3: you know. So, but that's why I wanted to be here,
Speaker 3: because I wanted to just have a break.
Speaker 2: You know, those those hills up there, I think that's
Speaker 2: where pretty probably within a couple miles of where I
Speaker 2: filmed the first music video I helped out with. So yeah,
Speaker 2: lots lots of memories and then their hills, as the
Speaker 2: prospector would say, yeah, man, will saying that it looks
Speaker 2: like I got Fred Harrison on.
Speaker 3: I never liked that.
Speaker 2: I'm not sure if you've heard that before.
Speaker 3: That's a new one on me, and I don't even
Speaker 3: have glasses, so that's interesting.
Speaker 2: But not to make a promise I can't keep. But
Speaker 2: you have no idea how close this is to being
Speaker 2: a reality. Uh that might be happening in the next year.
Speaker 2: Oh wow yeah, okay, Uh teasing something there. We'll see
Speaker 2: what's what's got going forward with that? Let's talk about
Speaker 2: because you get a lot of pickups, just like myself.
Speaker 2: What have you been getting in? I do?
Speaker 3: But I was checking the mail today, I was like,
Speaker 3: I got some stuff coming in. I was like, oh,
Speaker 3: what if it shows up today, It'll be just in time.
Speaker 3: But no, it did not. I checked the front porch
Speaker 3: all day. Anyway, the I got this because somebody told
Speaker 3: me and your discord that I should get it and
Speaker 3: that is that is narc and because it was on
Speaker 3: sale on Amazon and at that time I just decided
Speaker 3: to pick up the four K of Death Dream as
Speaker 3: well Blue Underground because I've been wanting to get it
Speaker 3: forever and it just never got it and it was
Speaker 3: like such a good price. I was like, yeah, so
Speaker 3: I had to do that.
Speaker 2: Funny enough, I almost pulled that for our discussion tonight.
Speaker 3: Oh really, Oh cool. I still haven't seen it, and
Speaker 3: I've been holding off talk about blind buys, so but
Speaker 3: I just know I know I'm gonna love this, So
Speaker 3: this is not a blind buy. I got a couple
Speaker 3: of things from Keno and this didn't show up initially
Speaker 3: in my order, but I got I told them about
Speaker 3: the issue. They sent me the wrong movie. They sent
Speaker 3: me mister Monk's Last Case, which is not.
Speaker 2: What I ordered. They will start with him.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, but they they corrected it and sent me this,
Speaker 3: so it's all good.
Speaker 2: Then.
Speaker 3: I also got a bunch of stuff, but I'll just
Speaker 3: say I got the some like it Hot four K.
Speaker 3: I couldn't resist it for ten dollars. Not the biggest
Speaker 3: fan of the movie, but I was like, I'll look
Speaker 3: at the four K. It's a classic. You know it's
Speaker 3: ten Yeah, maybe maybe time. I haven't seen it a
Speaker 3: long time, so maybe that you know, people change, Ryan,
Speaker 3: you should know that you're.
Speaker 2: Gonna be fun tonight.
Speaker 3: Speaking of Amazon, so the three for thirty three, I've
Speaker 3: got got Wild Robot.
Speaker 2: Good choice. Now Oscar nominated Wild Robot.
Speaker 3: I know, weird, uh upgraded Nightmare and elm Street damn
Speaker 3: good price for that, and because I was probably the
Speaker 3: only person on earth buying it Bike Riders.
Speaker 2: Correct, I did not buy that one either.
Speaker 3: You know, it's not bad, and you you know, we
Speaker 3: watch biker movies. I've watched a bunch of them, and
Speaker 3: we have to watch some of them for our podcast,
Speaker 3: and biker movies are not good straight. I'll just say
Speaker 3: I don't enjoy them. And this one was probably the
Speaker 3: best biker movie I've ever seen. That is insane A
Speaker 3: ton now. I don't know, it's been a long time
Speaker 3: since I've seen easy Writer, but you know, but like
Speaker 3: I've been watching a lot of like, you know, AIP
Speaker 3: biker movies and New World biker movies, and those are like, okay,
Speaker 3: and they're always pretty much the same. Oh good, I'm
Speaker 3: not alone. That's good to know somebody else bought about
Speaker 3: Bike Riders as well. And I think the performances are great,
Speaker 3: the exception perhaps of Tom Hardy, who is not doing
Speaker 3: a Chicago accent. He's very much doing a New York accent.
Speaker 3: But Jodi Comer is just like, her performance is out
Speaker 3: of this world. It's so good, and you know, her
Speaker 3: an awesome butler. I thought had great chemistry. I don't know.
Speaker 3: I was like, you know what, I kind of like it,
Speaker 3: and I mean I could pop that on and be like,
Speaker 3: there's decent biker movies out there anyway. Then the Arrow
Speaker 3: the seventies three for seventy dollars one, I got my one.
Speaker 3: I've picked deep Lucy, and I got removed off the orders.
Speaker 3: But I did get Demolition Man, nice, nice, And I
Speaker 3: got the hell Raiser quartette of Torment damn good deal,
Speaker 3: which of course I busted open and taken a look at.
Speaker 3: I thought I was going to be able to completely
Speaker 3: get rid of my Arrow blu rays of the first two,
Speaker 3: but you can't because levi Athan so oh well, still
Speaker 3: jam packed with a lot of stuff.
Speaker 2: And again we got this comment for you that says
Speaker 2: the show would be a lot better if the Killer
Speaker 2: from a Violent Nature were the guests. Thank you.
Speaker 3: That is so true. Just quiet, just quiet. We could
Speaker 3: just listen to diagetic sound.
Speaker 2: It's good.
Speaker 3: That would be nice, wouldn't it.
Speaker 2: All we could see is the back of the head
Speaker 2: all night from you know, forty eight degrees up.
Speaker 3: I like that movie. I'm sorry, I really liked that movie.
Speaker 3: I know why you hate it. I get it, I
Speaker 3: get it, I get it, but I really like it.
Speaker 3: It worked for me. I'm sorry. I got some stuff
Speaker 3: from Finally from gold Ninja, I got Monster Man nice
Speaker 3: and also got the open Doom Crescendo, which I got
Speaker 3: the ultimate one that also comes with this book as well.
Speaker 3: It's just like the I believe the script the script
Speaker 3: to it. I don't know if you can see it,
Speaker 3: but anyway, and like you know, there's drawings of their yeah,
Speaker 3: you know, storyboards, and so you know, I love supporting them.
Speaker 3: I know that it's kind of a one man show,
Speaker 3: so I was excited to do that. And then lastly,
Speaker 3: thank you Jeremy, I love you too, pal very nice.
Speaker 3: Then I finally got my the first thing from my
Speaker 3: Acilloscope subscription, and I asked. They said, you can go
Speaker 3: back a little bit, and I said, I want. Sometimes
Speaker 3: I think about Dying, which is a movie I watched
Speaker 3: and really really liked. I've been thinking about it ever since,
Speaker 3: and I really want to hear the commentary. So I'm
Speaker 3: going to do that this week, and I'm excited. A Telescope.
Speaker 3: If you have not joined, if nobody, if you haven't subscribed,
Speaker 3: highly recommend so far so great. They have been so
Speaker 3: nice emailing me, talking to me, seeing what I want.
Speaker 3: It's like personally personally emailing. That is so wild. That
Speaker 3: is so crazy. I also subscribe to Terror Vision and
Speaker 3: I'm super excited about that. Have not received any email
Speaker 3: or any updates. But that's fine, no big deal. It's
Speaker 3: totally fine, totally fine. But on the other side was
Speaker 3: a Selloscope that like immediately emailed me. I was like,
Speaker 3: let's get you going. How's everything going? What can I need?
Speaker 3: Do you have any questions? That is so cool for
Speaker 3: that price point? Too unbelievable. I'm like bummed I haven't
Speaker 3: done this earlier. But uh so, I'm excited for potentially
Speaker 3: one of their movies that we might talk about tonight.
Speaker 3: Then I might be you know, I might order it.
Speaker 3: That's if we're talking about it. I think we would be.
Speaker 2: Will be here A yeah, there is. There's a good
Speaker 2: list coming up later this year from them. I'm pretty excited.
Speaker 2: They've got a pretty exciting twenty twenty five. All right,
Speaker 2: I've got kind of more than usual to talk about,
Speaker 2: but got a lot of stuff in this week. First,
Speaker 2: the brand new This is the January release from Deaf Crocodile,
Speaker 2: the Cathedral. New Emotions came in gorgeous art on this
Speaker 2: as usual and if you've not seen the standard art,
Speaker 2: this is where the stuff gets good and weird. Definitely
Speaker 2: recommend picking this up if you've not seen it, which
Speaker 2: most people haven't, so definitely check it out. The announcement's
Speaker 2: coming not tomorrow but next Friday. Going to be a
Speaker 2: really great month for everybody. You've got really exciting subscription
Speaker 2: title come to all of you that have subscribed to them.
Speaker 2: I do my best to support indie pretty much everything,
Speaker 2: so I got a couple of indie pickups this week.
Speaker 2: First is an indie horror movie that came out called
Speaker 2: He Never Left. This is a kickstarter from a little
Speaker 2: over a year ago. I think pretty original slasher film.
Speaker 2: It says, after hearing disturbing noises from the next motel room,
Speaker 2: a fugitive on the run and his girlfriend become prey
Speaker 2: to the notoriously brutal pale Face killer, whose legend has
Speaker 2: haunted the local community for decades.
Speaker 3: That's exciting.
Speaker 2: Recommend checking it out. Rue Morgue says, a remarkable, challenging
Speaker 2: lead performance is it.
Speaker 3: Can you only get it through? Like the Kickstarter.
Speaker 2: No, it will be available lots of places here soon,
Speaker 2: I believe. But yeah, this was the first place to
Speaker 2: the Kickstarter. Love the art on that, and it is
Speaker 2: autographed through the Kickstarter.
Speaker 3: Yeah, very cool. I hope it's not in a violent
Speaker 3: like in a violent nature and you'll hate it. So
Speaker 3: we'll see hopefully.
Speaker 2: Well killer for decades. I guess it could be technically
Speaker 2: this one if you are around some of the other
Speaker 2: discords of other people and friends that have been on
Speaker 2: the channel for quite some time. Matt who you might
Speaker 2: recognize his name from. Keno Ventura is his online persona.
Speaker 2: Just did a zine recently called a Patchy Revolver. Nice
Speaker 2: lengthy articles and pictures about like crime, cinema, lots of
Speaker 2: good stuff in here. Shockingly cheap. You can get this,
Speaker 2: I believe it. Keno Ventura at blog spot. We're talking
Speaker 2: like thirty pages of high quality stuff and this shift
Speaker 2: was like five bucks, six bucks something like that.
Speaker 3: Incredible love zines. I love it zines are coming back.
Speaker 3: That's the best. I think.
Speaker 2: A pricier one. I finally got in my copy of
Speaker 2: the newest Physical Media Advocation What there it is? With
Speaker 2: the oscar nominated the substance on the front cover. You
Speaker 2: can get this and scores across the US and Canada.
Speaker 2: This I hate to continue saying this, but maybe my
Speaker 2: favorite issue yet, Like we keep growing where this one
Speaker 2: is over fit fifty fifty three pages, incredible articles, people
Speaker 2: from all over the world riding in. We've got regular
Speaker 2: stuff that is happening every single month. I can't really
Speaker 2: argue with it. It's amazing.
Speaker 3: I'll get my article in. I'm still working on it,
Speaker 3: but I can't wait to get that. I haven't gotten
Speaker 3: a new one because I'm waiting to go take a
Speaker 3: sojourn over to CD Trader and pick it up in
Speaker 3: the flesh. That's how I want to do it.
Speaker 2: It'll be a while for that one. Dave has been
Speaker 2: stressed out with the fires that he has not ordered
Speaker 2: the new one yet. Video Tech in LA has them though, Okay,
Speaker 2: all right, that's a longer jump for you, though I think.
Speaker 3: Yeah it is. It is. But good to know.
Speaker 2: The last two in two that I've not seen many
Speaker 2: people talk about that I've been wanting for a long time,
Speaker 2: waited for them to go on sale. This first one
Speaker 2: actually I was able to get with a gift card,
Speaker 2: so I didn't really have to pay for it. Village
Speaker 2: of Doom from Unearthed. This is based on off of
Speaker 2: a true story. This is Japanese film. It's a classic
Speaker 2: Japanese true crime story about It's a chilling reenactment of
Speaker 2: the infamous Suyama Masker, a revenge killing spree that occurred
Speaker 2: on the night of May twenty first, nineteen thirty eight
Speaker 2: in the rural village of Kamo near Suyama in Okayama Prefecture.
Speaker 2: There's an emotionally distraught twenty one year old man who
Speaker 2: had been ostracized by his fellow villagers went on a
Speaker 2: violent killing spree that took the lives of thirty people,
Speaker 2: including his own grandmother in the middle of the night.
Speaker 3: Not granny, Not granny.
Speaker 2: Some great stuff.
Speaker 3: What's what happened to poor Grandma? That's awesome, that one
Speaker 3: lives amazing.
Speaker 2: Yeah. The fact that it's based on a true crime
Speaker 2: story is wild.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Last. One one of the biggest things in my life
Speaker 2: when I was younger, and I've talked about this countless
Speaker 2: times before, was music. And the first band that really
Speaker 2: showed me expansive ideas behind music was Queen. And when
Speaker 2: this got announced, I had to get the four K
Speaker 2: of Queen, Rock Montreal and Live Aid. I will say
Speaker 2: this is not great packaging. It's like a flimsy little
Speaker 2: foldable pack that I mean, it's shrink wrapped and I
Speaker 2: can kind of fold it. But this is probably never
Speaker 2: gonna come out in any other way, So I'm stoked
Speaker 2: to be able to have this one of the best
Speaker 2: bands of all time, one of the strongest set of
Speaker 2: musicians ever. Yeah, I can't wait to see it in
Speaker 2: four K.
Speaker 3: That's awesome, dude. I thought you're a big punk guy
Speaker 3: though too, were you not?
Speaker 2: Well, I was, but this is where a lot of
Speaker 2: that started. Like a lot of people that have never
Speaker 2: dove into Queen other than like the hits. I mean,
Speaker 2: Queen had like some almost like straight up thrash metal
Speaker 2: on some of their early stuff, So their diversity is
Speaker 2: kind of what led to me liking literally everything.
Speaker 3: I have like a box set of their records that
Speaker 3: came out years ago that I got for free from
Speaker 3: my work at the time, and it has all their records,
Speaker 3: so and I barely dove into so much stuff. But yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: on Earth Films, I gotta get that pillage of Doom
Speaker 3: that looks really good. I've never heard of that.
Speaker 2: It's a lot.
Speaker 3: Uh, Granny so worried about Granny.
Speaker 2: We're gonna talk about recent watches tonight, but first, after
Speaker 2: our announcements tonight, we're gonna be discussing blind By. So
Speaker 2: I wanted everybody to hear that so we could stay, uh, stay,
Speaker 2: stay after the show blind By. It has been something
Speaker 2: that's come up lately. Obviously a lot of people are
Speaker 2: pulling back on how much they're buying with the economy
Speaker 2: sucking and with the outlook of a lot of things
Speaker 2: in the shitter. Uh. And I told her the fires
Speaker 2: in La right.
Speaker 3: Okay, that's the only thing I can think of that's
Speaker 3: there this month.
Speaker 2: This month. Uh No, it's been a terrifying week. As
Speaker 2: somebody that works for the federal government, I am definitely
Speaker 2: not happy at the moment, but doing whatever I can
Speaker 2: to hide that. So thank you.
Speaker 3: Yeah, get out those ties, get out those shirts.
Speaker 2: No, I'm getting out that reasonable accommodation paperwork.
Speaker 3: Man. Yeah, it started now, dude. Yeah, try to try
Speaker 3: r do your best. Man.
Speaker 2: Uh, I'm gonna do my best. But blind Bys kind
Speaker 2: of a contentious subject for some people. A lot of
Speaker 2: people will say I'm not buying something unless I've seen
Speaker 2: it first, and to me that's sort of baffling. But
Speaker 2: also I've not seen a lot of stuff, so a
Speaker 2: lot of what I buy is a blind buy. But
Speaker 2: we'll get into the nuances behind that tonight and why
Speaker 2: we're gonna talk about it. But recent watches. Obviously, today
Speaker 2: was the Oscar nomination show for a lot of people,
Speaker 2: and uh we we got to discuss what's been going on.
Speaker 2: I know you keep up with a lot of recent stuff,
Speaker 2: but also you watch a lot of classic stuff too,
Speaker 2: So what have you been watching.
Speaker 3: I've actually been watching a lot of the newer stuff
Speaker 3: because about to go on a podcast and talk about
Speaker 3: your favorite films of twenty twenty four, So I have
Speaker 3: been watching a lot of newer stuff. It's kind of
Speaker 3: a mixed bag. But I was there this morning, so
Speaker 3: good job to you guys. It was enjoyable to listen
Speaker 3: to everything.
Speaker 2: So minutes when i'd run it, the sure to.
Speaker 3: Race out, Oh you gotta get on that zoom call,
Speaker 3: I get it. Reasonable commodation. So but a recent watch
Speaker 3: actually did get to of course, I had a bit
Speaker 3: of a break in there recently where I couldn't watch
Speaker 3: anything because we didn't have power. We didn't have internet
Speaker 3: for a bit, but that's no problem because I was
Speaker 3: watching Blue Race. But then the power went out so
Speaker 3: I couldn't watch anything, so that's tough.
Speaker 2: But I did watch read them booklets for a week.
Speaker 3: Yeah, by candlelight. That was real fun. I had to
Speaker 3: tell the kids, like by five o'clock, I'm like, if
Speaker 3: you want a shower, now, it's the time, because we
Speaker 3: got it's about to be dark unless you want to,
Speaker 3: like take a shower by candlelight, like this is the time.
Speaker 3: But yeah, I watched Hands of Steel, which is actually
Speaker 3: something that I picked up. I don't know the Blu
Speaker 3: ray organized but anyway, hands of Steel it is a
Speaker 3: Sergio Martino movie and from nineteen eighty six, and that's
Speaker 3: something I watched recently. I had just gotten the Blu ray,
Speaker 3: I think from from a sale of some I'm trying
Speaker 3: to remember who I got it from. It doesn't matter.
Speaker 3: I got it on sale and it was awesome. I
Speaker 3: had never seen it before, so I was extremely excited
Speaker 3: for it. It's kind of a terminator ripoff if you
Speaker 3: haven't seen it, but it's not a terminator rip off.
Speaker 3: It's also a ripoff, I guess of Over the Top
Speaker 3: because a good portion of the middle of the film
Speaker 3: deals with a contest of like arm wrestling, which I
Speaker 3: wasn't anticipating that much arm wrestling, But there we go.
Speaker 3: And then it's got a great score. Claudia Simonetti from
Speaker 3: Goblin does the score really really good? And uh, it's
Speaker 3: super fun, sweaty as hell, it's but it was a blast,
Speaker 3: really good time. I finally watched a rewatch, finally, after
Speaker 3: all these years, finally rewatched The Heroic Trio Oh, which
Speaker 3: was very fun. I think, I wrote on my letter
Speaker 3: box it was anwer an empowering story of how three
Speaker 3: women bonded together through child kidnapping and then fantasized. It's
Speaker 3: it's a wild movie. But I I remember I was
Speaker 3: one of the Hong Kong films that I bought on
Speaker 3: a ripped VHS at San Diego Comic con way back
Speaker 3: in the day when I was buying Hard Boiled and
Speaker 3: The Killer and any of those Hong Kong movies I
Speaker 3: could get because you couldn't get them anywhere, you know.
Speaker 3: So the changed, Yeah, and now it's on Criterion, so
Speaker 3: so it was very nice to watch a very cleaned
Speaker 3: up not a VHS rip of a rip of a
Speaker 3: rip of the heroic trio. It was very good. I
Speaker 3: went on a bit of a fest for now. Is
Speaker 3: he Academy no nominated? I can't remember if he is
Speaker 3: Jesse Eisenberg, but I watched I watched both of his movies.
Speaker 3: Oh nice, she's to say. I watched A Real Pain,
Speaker 3: and I also watched twice when you finished Saving the World.
Speaker 3: I watched it twice because I'd watched it once. And
Speaker 3: then very soon afterwards, our oldest said she has a
Speaker 3: list of movies she wants to watch, and she was like,
Speaker 3: I want to watch this movie when you finished Saving
Speaker 3: the World because it has been Wolfhart in it, and
Speaker 3: she's a big stranger things and she's like, gotta see
Speaker 3: And I was like, I just watched it. But okay,
Speaker 3: let's way. I mean, you've got a list, you're you're
Speaker 3: in a fourteen year old kid, and you have a
Speaker 3: list of movies you want to watch. We're gonna watch
Speaker 3: whatever you Yeah, I mean, hell, yes, whatever you want.
Speaker 3: And so I watched both of this movie. So I'm
Speaker 3: very up to date on his filmography as a director.
Speaker 3: I actually kind of really like. I like both of them,
Speaker 3: to be honest. Uh, did you see a real pain?
Speaker 2: I did see a real pain. I was a real
Speaker 2: happy person watching it. I was, yeah, that's right.
Speaker 3: You I heard you talking about it because you love
Speaker 3: that line and he says in it about his pain
Speaker 3: and not being extraordinary, which is an amazing line. Yeah,
Speaker 3: that's an amazing scene. It's a it's really good. And
Speaker 3: when you finish saving the world, I think, is it's
Speaker 3: a nice to show the step up from that. But
Speaker 3: it's got an incredible performance by Julianne Moore and she's
Speaker 3: really really good in the movie. Oh yeah, that's true.
Speaker 3: I never thought about that. Yeah, just seeing a movie
Speaker 3: is a blind by I guess in this sense that's true.
Speaker 3: Haunted side show, and that's a good call. But but
Speaker 3: when you're paying a ticket, and you guess when you're
Speaker 3: in a ticket, you know, but when you've bought like
Speaker 3: Tombs of the Blind Dead for seventy.
Speaker 2: Dollars, but there's a coffin box.
Speaker 3: Right, and you're like, I gotta have this. It's seventy dollars.
Speaker 3: I haven't seen it. That's that's that's I guess what
Speaker 3: we're kind of talking about but okay, real quick. I
Speaker 3: also then, uh, the next night, our daughter was out,
Speaker 3: so our son wanted to watch something, so we watched
Speaker 3: The Invisible Raptor. Have you seen that or I.
Speaker 2: Have not seen it? I feel oh wait, we just
Speaker 2: announced this physically like a few weeks ago. That's what
Speaker 2: it did. Yeah, it sounded like genuinely really interesting.
Speaker 3: It is a horror comedy that is too long.
Speaker 2: Yeah, too long.
Speaker 3: Nearly two hours doesn't need to be I needs to
Speaker 3: be eighty minutes, dude, I needs how.
Speaker 2: How invisible is the Raptor?
Speaker 3: Exactly totally for the most part invisible. There's like one
Speaker 3: thing time you can see it when they have it
Speaker 3: on like heat vision or something like. So it's really
Speaker 3: just there because the response, yeah, there's it's not there,
Speaker 3: and it's there, I think only because they're like, it'll
Speaker 3: be funny because we'll have a raptor, but you won't
Speaker 3: be able to see it. It's got some gore and
Speaker 3: more gore, but it's all digital and it's it's got
Speaker 3: a few you know, laughs in it. But it's just
Speaker 3: way too long. It wears out. It's welcome because it's
Speaker 3: too long. I rewatched also King Cohen, the documentary Larry Cohen.
Speaker 3: We just in the podcast talked about God told me
Speaker 3: to God told me too. That's right, So that's our
Speaker 3: I got to edit that this weekend.
Speaker 2: So sorry, I don't know why I'm running your podcast.
Speaker 3: I know I love that. You know that. That's amazing.
Speaker 3: I mean, we it was our fanuary, so we we
Speaker 3: we asked people what we should watch. Yes, yes you did,
Speaker 3: and thank you for doing that. If if you're interested
Speaker 3: in having us talk about an education comedy video about taxes,
Speaker 3: the Tax Act of nineteen eighty six, you can listen
Speaker 3: to our most recent episode, tax Attack eighty seven.
Speaker 2: Funny enough. Was about to ask about that after the
Speaker 2: recent watches, but okay.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I just chatted on Facebook today with the director
Speaker 3: of that video. Pretty funny, just funny how that happens.
Speaker 3: I'm going to try and track down the producer and
Speaker 3: see if I can get like some kind of interview
Speaker 3: for the website. But he didn't remember much about it.
Speaker 3: He had to kind of look it up because he
Speaker 3: was just a he was just a director who worked
Speaker 3: a lot, so he was just sort of broad I think,
Speaker 3: just brought in so he doesn't really remember it. But
Speaker 3: too well, so he couldn't answer any questions. But that's fine.
Speaker 3: He was a very nice guy, and he was very
Speaker 3: very nice for him and also in the theater. I
Speaker 3: saw one of them days with our fourteen year old.
Speaker 3: It just came out. It is a comedy with Keky Palmer,
Speaker 3: and that.
Speaker 2: One looked really good. Yeah, it was.
Speaker 3: It was pretty good. They have good, good chemistry. I
Speaker 3: thought it was a funny movie. My daughter really liked it.
Speaker 3: She we had a good time. It's you know we
Speaker 3: it was Monday, it was a holiday, it's Martin Luther
Speaker 3: King Day. We were one of six people probably in
Speaker 3: the theater. But she had been trying to ask friends
Speaker 3: to go and they kept bailing out on her. So
Speaker 3: she finally went to somebody that she knows was not
Speaker 3: going to say no to a movie, and that was me.
Speaker 3: She's like, will you we go to this movie with me?
Speaker 3: I was like, one hundred percent, I will go to
Speaker 3: this movie with you. We'll go to any movie you
Speaker 3: want to go to. But we had a good time
Speaker 3: and it was a funny movie, and they do a
Speaker 3: good job. I'd see the two of them, Uh, you know,
Speaker 3: if they're going to do other movies, together. I think
Speaker 3: that would be great, so I really enjoyed it. Also
Speaker 3: had a guy from the Blackening. Did you ever see
Speaker 3: that movie?
Speaker 2: I have not finished it yet. I start it's very good.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I have it up here. It's the guy
Speaker 3: and the main guy who wrote it and is in
Speaker 3: it is also in it as a like a cameo.
Speaker 3: It's got a lot of funny people in it in
Speaker 3: one of them days. But Blackening, and I always keep
Speaker 3: bringing up because I think it's a really funny one
Speaker 3: of the better horror comedies of recent recent years. Right,
Speaker 3: But that's it for me. That's you know. Rather I
Speaker 3: could go down a whole bunch of things I've been watching,
Speaker 3: but we'll just keep it.
Speaker 2: No, it's It's nice because my list is very short
Speaker 2: this week if I wasn't working on a title. So
Speaker 2: there's I think two that I've seen this week that
Speaker 2: I can't talk about. I saw one in theater and
Speaker 2: one at home, and the rest of the time was
Speaker 2: spent in depression basically. The one in theater. Took my
Speaker 2: kids to see the fortieth anniversary of The Goonies in
Speaker 2: the theater and it's the first time I seen on
Speaker 2: the big screen both of my kids fell in love
Speaker 2: with it. We told them what it was going to
Speaker 2: be going into it. In What's funny is they had
Speaker 2: seen it, but they were way too young to see it,
Speaker 2: uh so they didn't remember anything about it, and uh
Speaker 2: we we took them in and told them what it
Speaker 2: was gonna be and they were both like, we'll see,
Speaker 2: that's kind of a boring whatever. Literally, not five minutes in,
Speaker 2: my oldest looked at me and said, this movie is
Speaker 2: gonna be amazing because of what he was already seeing.
Speaker 2: It was so great. He loved the prison break scene.
Speaker 2: He was so stoked on it. And then I think
Speaker 2: early on somebody says shit and he's like, I'm in
Speaker 2: I can hear cuswords.
Speaker 3: That's, you know, whatever the buying's gonna be. I saw
Speaker 3: years ago at like Hollywood Forever Cemetery when they sort
Speaker 3: of do that series over the summer where they like
Speaker 3: show movies up on the wall and yeah, and have
Speaker 3: people camp out and hang out and maybe smoke pot
Speaker 3: and watch movies. But I don't know, some of those
Speaker 3: things are are voluntary, including watching the movie to be
Speaker 3: a cuite frank. But we watched it, and this is
Speaker 3: the first time. I've seen it a long time. I
Speaker 3: was obsessed with that movie when I was a kid. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I love goonies. I would just imagine all my friends
Speaker 3: and we all had our little gang and we can.
Speaker 3: I was obsessed with Keihu Kwan and like all his gadgets.
Speaker 3: I thought that was the coolest thing on earth.
Speaker 2: Same.
Speaker 3: Uh. So it's it's a movie that when watching it
Speaker 3: again as adult, I'm like, this movie shouldn't work. It
Speaker 3: doesn't have a plot really, but it works. It just
Speaker 3: it just works. I don't know what it is. It
Speaker 3: has an energy that just works.
Speaker 2: I enjoy it so much, especially more on a big screen.
Speaker 2: It's like genuinely magical. On a big screen. It feels
Speaker 2: just literally like this is such a cliche word to use,
Speaker 2: but it feels like such unadventure. It is so just yeah,
Speaker 2: I'm along for the ride, love every moment. And then,
Speaker 2: of course you know that we watched that. We have
Speaker 2: a great time, and the kids have both already seen
Speaker 2: this a few Christmases ago, but I went, hey, you
Speaker 2: loved this, let's talk about Kremlins, and so we put
Speaker 2: Gremlins in, okay, and I felt like the nerdiest movie
Speaker 2: lover to my nine year old. We sat down. I'm like, okay,
Speaker 2: so listen. The same guy that wrote the movie you
Speaker 2: just loved wrote this one. Look, here's an actor from
Speaker 2: the first one. You recognize him. Now he's in a
Speaker 2: weird bandit and they're terrible. Also, you see this guy.
Speaker 2: His name is Dick and he's one of the most
Speaker 2: famous actors of all time, and nobody knows his name
Speaker 2: and he's amazing. And then I'm like, one day I'm
Speaker 2: gonna teach you about Roger Corman and you would be
Speaker 2: very proud of the conversation that followed. But it was
Speaker 2: so much fun just to watch him be like, I
Speaker 2: don't care about anything that you're saying right now.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, don't really. Just let me watch a dumb movie.
Speaker 3: Did you did? What are your kids?
Speaker 2: Do?
Speaker 1: You?
Speaker 3: Guys celebrate Christmas.
Speaker 2: In the most non religious but let's have a good
Speaker 2: time and take a breath to be present with each other.
Speaker 2: Type of very cliche lights, Christmas tree presence.
Speaker 3: We only celebrate it in the very religious.
Speaker 2: When I was young, my parents forced us to have
Speaker 2: a Happy Birthday Jesus cake, So I get it.
Speaker 3: Okay, all right, No, I've never done that.
Speaker 2: But I'm not kidding. By the way, for all commentors
Speaker 2: that are already typing not kidding.
Speaker 3: Uh yeah, I I we have. I've not shown that
Speaker 3: to our kids because I think, I think maybe this
Speaker 3: is the year we can do it. But there's a
Speaker 3: monologue there that could ruin Christmas if you're not if
Speaker 3: you have any sort of belief in there. So that's
Speaker 3: why I've avoided it. But I love Gremlins. I love
Speaker 3: the sequel maybe even.
Speaker 2: More watching't that this week?
Speaker 3: I adore it. It's totally nuts. It is totally nuts quickly. Yes,
Speaker 3: Dwayne Perkins, by the way, is thank you for the comments.
Speaker 3: He's the one who wrote the black inane and is
Speaker 3: in that movie. And what's this other one here? Oh,
Speaker 3: hundreds of beavers. I gotta totally agree with Jim there
Speaker 3: half an hour too long, really fun and enjoyable and inventive.
Speaker 3: There's no reason for that movie to be an hour
Speaker 3: and forty five minutes.
Speaker 2: It's too long, I I agree, but at least the
Speaker 2: length is fun and not I want to put a
Speaker 2: log in my eye.
Speaker 3: It's NonStop gags, and I do love that. I mean,
Speaker 3: as a guy who you know, did the make them
Speaker 3: ups for a living. I completely appreciate the amount of
Speaker 3: gags in that movie, but it's like it's a little much.
Speaker 3: And my wife Erica, who is a co host on
Speaker 3: the show, was kind of coming in. I'm just I'm
Speaker 3: married just for the podcast. It's only for the podcast.
Speaker 2: It's a show man's for a podcast.
Speaker 3: Just just to make that, just to make that, got it?
Speaker 3: We want buy in from people. I would not normally
Speaker 3: listen to this podcast because it concentrates the New World pictures,
Speaker 3: but there's a married couple, and I feel like, okay.
Speaker 2: No.
Speaker 3: She kept coming in while I was watching hundreds of
Speaker 3: beams and she kept me like, are you still watching this?
Speaker 3: What does this movie ever end? And I was like, yeah,
Speaker 3: I mean it's a little long.
Speaker 2: It's a little long, to be fair. It's literally like
Speaker 2: a Looney Tune short yet like seven of them, and
Speaker 2: I can see how after five you're like, huh, this
Speaker 2: is so funny. I want to go do something else.
Speaker 2: Totally get that feeling.
Speaker 3: Yeah, It's like, I mean, I hey, I bought it.
Speaker 3: It was a blind by, but did you spring for
Speaker 3: the wood slipcover? I did not? I did not? I
Speaker 3: did Yeah, I went for the one, the partner label,
Speaker 3: the Vinegar Center partner label, So you know those are
Speaker 3: one of those things though that like, if I see
Speaker 3: it on a good deal, do I upgrade? I'm so stupid,
Speaker 3: I know I probably will.
Speaker 2: I love that a wood slipcover is an upgrade in
Speaker 2: our eyes.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's not dumb, but I would be like, I
Speaker 3: would be like, I don't need that, I have one.
Speaker 3: I has a slipcover. I'm good. See a good deal hmmm,
Speaker 3: that wouldn't slipcover. I'm intrigued, not bad.
Speaker 2: Was it actually chewed by a beaver? Because in that case,
Speaker 2: I don't know it could be.
Speaker 3: All right? Did you see anything else?
Speaker 2: No other than like episodes of Deep to try to
Speaker 2: bring a true smile to my face. And then streaming
Speaker 2: service I believe you're familiar with. I watch a lot
Speaker 2: of drop Out. Oh, spent some time with Sam Reich
Speaker 2: this week for sure to try to cheer me up. Yeah,
Speaker 2: genuinely been a really rough week. Yeah yeah, check in
Speaker 2: on your friends. I don't mean to make light of this,
Speaker 2: but I mean there's a lot of people unsure of
Speaker 2: what their future is like. And the sad thing is
Speaker 2: we have already seen so many changes. I could be
Speaker 2: talking about seventeen different groups of people and you don't
Speaker 2: know who I'm talking about, and that means check on everybody.
Speaker 2: It's a scary time right now.
Speaker 3: Well just remember too that everything that can that is
Speaker 3: being done can be undone so far, and we have
Speaker 3: the courts kind of kind of so I mean, but yes,
Speaker 3: you know, I think Veep is an incredible show. I
Speaker 3: absolutely adore that show. A friend of mine, Sam, was
Speaker 3: on that show, and.
Speaker 2: It's Sam Richards.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's he's he's a very funny dude. And he's
Speaker 3: very funny in that show. That might be almost like
Speaker 3: Detroiters is so good. Yeah, it's on Netflix right now.
Speaker 3: People should check it out. I think I think it's
Speaker 3: on Netflix or Prime. It's on one of those. And
Speaker 3: but this might be a little this might be a
Speaker 3: tough time to watch Veep because I watched it through
Speaker 3: the original the original run, when it was kind of
Speaker 3: like ha ha ha, how ridiculous, And now I'm very
Speaker 3: intrigued to like rewatch it, but I think it might
Speaker 3: be like, oh wow, this is this is real. This
Speaker 3: feels really too real.
Speaker 2: But yeah, the great some of the gags I've wished
Speaker 2: for it to be like the worst of what we're seeing.
Speaker 3: Have you have you seen in the Loop too? Did
Speaker 3: you see that.
Speaker 2: In the Loop? Don't recognize the title?
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's the same. It's the same creator and it's
Speaker 3: essentially how the show was started out sort of as
Speaker 3: a British show. He made a movie version, James Gandlafini's
Speaker 3: in it. Extremely good movie, very funny, very cutting, and
Speaker 3: then they sort of did the American version of the
Speaker 3: original show sort of, but that became a morphed into deep.
Speaker 3: But Armando Iannucci is the creator. He was also a
Speaker 3: writer on Alan Partridge Show and a bunch of great
Speaker 3: British stuff and anything he does I pretty much will
Speaker 3: check out. It was Oh, yes, think of the Thank you, Paul, Yes,
Speaker 3: to think of it is the spinoff show, Yeah, which
Speaker 3: is great, really really funny.
Speaker 2: I trust you recommendations more of than movies. So it
Speaker 2: is on the list.
Speaker 3: Well, thank you. I will disappoint you, I'm sure at
Speaker 3: some point.
Speaker 2: Don't worry. Everybody does.
Speaker 3: Have you ever seen in a Violent Nature? It's really good?
Speaker 3: Check it out?
Speaker 2: Oh man. Well, on that note, how do you feel
Speaker 2: about the Oscar nominations? Are you happy with them?
Speaker 3: I don't care. I mean, okay, well you know, I mean,
Speaker 3: I mean like it's fine, like I have not seen
Speaker 3: as usual, there's a couple of the movies that I
Speaker 3: have not seen, and I'm like, okay, I guess I'll
Speaker 3: watch some of these. And I guess I should have
Speaker 3: seen it coming because of the Golden Globes. But I
Speaker 3: was looking for the movie today. What is the one
Speaker 3: I'm forgetting the name all of a sudden, the one
Speaker 3: that won all the Golden Globes with Zoe's oldonna. Yeah,
Speaker 3: Amilily Press, which, by the way, I looked at on
Speaker 3: on Netflix and I was just going through all the
Speaker 3: different tiers and just waiting for it to show up.
Speaker 3: I'm like, it just got nominated for an Oscar. Let's
Speaker 3: see it where it'll be right there. I had to.
Speaker 3: I had a search for it. Mike, You're your algorithm
Speaker 3: is so dumb, dude. That's awful. That's awful. I was
Speaker 3: even looking for your for your your movie and I
Speaker 3: couldn't find it. But anyway, I so, I haven't seen
Speaker 3: a ton of them, but I always feel like they're
Speaker 3: not wholly representative of what we see. And you know,
Speaker 3: so I think you kind of take some of the wins.
Speaker 3: There's a couple of good nominations in there that I
Speaker 3: think are good, you know, you just but I I
Speaker 3: just don't look to those shows too, you know, to
Speaker 3: give me validation. So I am going to vote. I
Speaker 3: vote in the SAG Awards, so you know, I'll be
Speaker 3: I'll be interested in what that comes about, because I'll
Speaker 3: i'll i'll put my energy into that.
Speaker 2: It's uh, it's never obviously all telling about what the
Speaker 2: the state of film is, but also the way I
Speaker 2: look at it, and I know a lot of people
Speaker 2: pull the whole. I don't care about award, so I'm
Speaker 2: not gonna watch or anything. But also I care about
Speaker 2: move and these have a genuine impact.
Speaker 3: That's a fair point. So yeah, and I used to
Speaker 3: like make it absolute viewing, you know, yeah, but I
Speaker 3: think in I think I'm coming it. And then every
Speaker 3: year there'd be a bunch of movies I hadn't seen.
Speaker 3: So it was hard to like get into it because
Speaker 3: parenting kind of makes seeing everything big challenges. I'm sure
Speaker 3: you are aware, and so I'm now making more of
Speaker 3: an effort to try and see everything. And so but
Speaker 3: I had not seen a million Perez. I haven't seen
Speaker 3: The Brutalist, and then I was going to see it,
Speaker 3: and then I heard all the AI stuff and I
Speaker 3: was like, should I prioritize that one? So I haven't
Speaker 3: seen it yet. Not only that it's four hours long,
Speaker 3: so you know that that takes a real that takes scheduling.
Speaker 2: The three and a half hours has been the biggest
Speaker 2: thing for me, And to be fair on the AI
Speaker 2: not to go too deep into this, because we probably
Speaker 2: should start announcement. It's forty three minutes into this.
Speaker 3: They love this banter.
Speaker 2: The editor of the film fed his own voice and
Speaker 2: the actor's voices into respeechures, so it is AI, but
Speaker 2: it's with the creators consent using only their voices. That
Speaker 2: feels a little more authentic to me. And then the
Speaker 2: other part is they they fed in pictures of architecture
Speaker 2: to be able to create more pictures of similar architecture
Speaker 2: that do not exist. Essentially, that that part's a little
Speaker 2: more sketchy to me than the voice aspect. But I
Speaker 2: don't know. It's a big discussion that's gonna need to
Speaker 2: be had. I mean, a lot of people have zero
Speaker 2: tolerance for it, and a lot of people look at
Speaker 2: it as a tool. Both sides have valid arguments. It's
Speaker 2: it's a it's a tough one. I understand not wanting
Speaker 2: it in any side of creativity, because that's that's kind
Speaker 2: of the side that I fall on. I don't want people,
Speaker 2: especially without their consent, having their artistic endeavors fed into
Speaker 2: an algorithm that they don't get a say in all.
Speaker 3: I agree. I totally agree with that, and I'm just yeah,
Speaker 3: I'm a little wary of that because I just think,
Speaker 3: you know, it's every every every change like that throughout
Speaker 3: any industry is going to start small before it becomes big.
Speaker 3: So that's what makes me fairly nervous about that. But
Speaker 3: at the same time, the only thing about the Oscars
Speaker 3: this year to me too, especially with all the Amelia
Speaker 3: Perez stuff, is that if the Oscars are way of
Speaker 3: continuing to push people to go see movies, I love that,
Speaker 3: and I love it about any Award show, and that's
Speaker 3: exciting because I want people to go to the movies.
Speaker 3: I love going to the movies. I really don't want
Speaker 3: to see that die in my lifetime.
Speaker 2: Agreed.
Speaker 3: If I'm dead, it doesn't matter to me. It can
Speaker 3: die all at once. But no, but I don't want
Speaker 3: it to die at all. But like, and I'm an
Speaker 3: idiot that goes to see plays and stuff I loved,
Speaker 3: go see stuff, you know what I mean. Like I
Speaker 3: like to see stuff live and then the flesh, and
Speaker 3: I like to go see movies, and so, like Amelia Perez,
Speaker 3: I'm sure they did some sort of perfunctory screenings of it,
Speaker 3: but like, that's a Netflix movie. Are we getting people
Speaker 3: to go to the movie theater? The Brutalist has such
Speaker 3: a specific run. Are people going to the movie theater
Speaker 3: to see that? Now? Well, they open that up. I
Speaker 3: know that they opened Anora back up in the theater,
Speaker 3: so I'm hoping sing Sing all kinds of thing. Yeah,
Speaker 3: let's yeah sing. Yeah. I haven't seen sing Sing yet
Speaker 3: and I would love to see that. So if those
Speaker 3: open back up and I can go see these in
Speaker 3: the movie theater, thenk that this is great. That's what
Speaker 3: I want, and people go out in the movies to
Speaker 3: see this stuff, then I'm all on board. But otherwise
Speaker 3: it always feels like my favorites of the year and
Speaker 3: the oscars are sort of like two divergent paths. Yeah,
Speaker 3: so it's like it's hard to get excited for that
Speaker 3: for that reason. But if it gets people excited to
Speaker 3: go to the movies and get people excited about movies,
Speaker 3: I'm all in favor of it. And any award show I.
Speaker 2: Agree awards are a great way to entice people to
Speaker 2: modern films. Before we get started on announcements, one thing
Speaker 2: that gets me excited about older films is wonderful podcast s.
Speaker 2: Tell people about the New World Pictures podcast and were.
Speaker 3: Well, as the name implies, we talk about New World Pictures, movies.
Speaker 3: That's what we talk about exclusively, New World Video, New
Speaker 3: World Television. The Learning Corporation of Americas, a new company
Speaker 3: we found out that they bought last year. We started
Speaker 3: watching some of their movies. That's how we talk about
Speaker 3: Tax Attack eighty seven. We're on our sixth year, if
Speaker 3: you can believe it. And we also talked to the
Speaker 3: people behind the scenes. We've got great interviews that are
Speaker 3: going to come up. We started doing some we started
Speaker 3: doing some commentaries. We released our first commentary just the
Speaker 3: end of last year. We're going to do some more
Speaker 3: commentaries this year. We have a lot of good stuff
Speaker 3: already planned and in the works, and we're excited for
Speaker 3: that and we're also going to start doing a series
Speaker 3: on Roger Corman's graduates, graduates of the Roger Corman Film School,
Speaker 3: and we're going to be discussing. First off, we're going
Speaker 3: to be talking about a revealer here. We're going to
Speaker 3: talk about Jack Hill, and we're going through his filmography
Speaker 3: from beginning to end and talking about his as well
Speaker 3: as his New World movies as well as all his
Speaker 3: other films as well. So it's a great way to
Speaker 3: you know, talk about all the Jack Hill movies that
Speaker 3: we know. Eleven. We're just going to go through different
Speaker 3: people that went through the so called Roger Corman Film School.
Speaker 3: So yeah, so it's going to be an exciting year.
Speaker 3: We're excited.
Speaker 2: What about the worldies tell people about.
Speaker 3: Those Yes, we just said the world is the world
Speaker 3: is speaking of award shows. That's how we end every year.
Speaker 3: We do a completely made up award show based on
Speaker 3: purely the movies we've watched in the past year, and
Speaker 3: we have guests come in and go through the and
Speaker 3: announce the awards and be presenters quote unquote and give
Speaker 3: away awards and then yeah, so with something we do
Speaker 3: every year, it is a lot of fun and it's
Speaker 3: just kind of a way for us to kind of
Speaker 3: like celebrate the year. And it's a ton of work
Speaker 3: for me, but it's it's a lot of fun and
Speaker 3: we have a great time doing it. So it keeps
Speaker 3: getting more and more fun every year. And we had
Speaker 3: we had new categories this year because we have a
Speaker 3: a small discord of like former guests such as yourself
Speaker 3: and some of our n w PP v ips, and
Speaker 3: you know, we had that it's so much, but we've
Speaker 3: been saying it for years. We said it in jest
Speaker 3: and then we kept saying it. We thought that's the
Speaker 3: dumbest thing to call people that like this show, but
Speaker 3: that's what we do. And uh so we had them
Speaker 3: vote this year, so they voted as well as us.
Speaker 3: So it was kind of a lot of fun for
Speaker 3: everybody to get involved. And you voted as well.
Speaker 2: I did. Uh. If you had to call out a
Speaker 2: favorite episode in the last I don't know, we'll say
Speaker 2: two and a half months with the word mountain in
Speaker 2: the title, what would you say? That would be?
Speaker 3: Oh, I god, I wish there was another title of
Speaker 3: the mountain. And then I didn't totally say that.
Speaker 2: I had to go chuck before I asked.
Speaker 3: Mountaintop Motel Massacre.
Speaker 2: Are you kidding?
Speaker 3: Oh great, we had the great Uh, we had the
Speaker 3: great Ryan Barrel in there to talk about a movie
Speaker 3: and you should really check it out. It's we had
Speaker 3: a blast talking about that movie. I thought. So it's
Speaker 3: a fun podcast. We have a good time. We have
Speaker 3: a lot of fun.
Speaker 2: I never believe me.
Speaker 3: Two of the hosts are married. It's crazy and unbelievable.
Speaker 3: And the other host is my brother. So it's no way.
Speaker 2: I never would have guessed.
Speaker 3: People do say we look you know, to this day,
Speaker 3: my brother's ae years older than me. To this day,
Speaker 3: people are you twins? And I will always go no,
Speaker 3: you will angrily say no. He said that since we
Speaker 3: were kids, people would ask if we were twins, and
Speaker 3: like our height differences were so so so different than like,
Speaker 3: are you guys twins? Like why would we be different heights?
Speaker 3: Makes no sense? But anyway, he gets very upset when
Speaker 3: he got when he gets asked that.
Speaker 2: Of course, all right, let's get into announcements and then,
Speaker 2: like I said, after this, we're gonna be covering ten
Speaker 2: films that we blind bought that we loved. We're gonna
Speaker 2: talk about the blind by experience, why we love it,
Speaker 2: and what those films are. So here we go, starting
Speaker 2: off the week with another big acquisition announcement. Last week's
Speaker 2: was the, of course, the Shout Factory Giant acquisition and
Speaker 2: now Aero partnering with Shutter. I first of all, love
Speaker 2: all the comments last week. If everybody's saying Shutter is
Speaker 2: a prostitute for whoever will pay them, I heard shutter is.
Speaker 2: I think somebody said Shutter is a blu ray slut.
Speaker 2: They use that as a as a well, but I
Speaker 2: do too. I was literally about to say that, I
Speaker 2: totally I run with that title and I own it.
Speaker 2: Damn it. We bought it a nor approved, we can
Speaker 2: own it.
Speaker 3: I don't understand a streaming service. Who's getting into physical media?
Speaker 3: Why would you have any what's the problem. Hey, they
Speaker 3: buy films and they distribute their own films, and now
Speaker 3: they want to put them out on disc put them
Speaker 3: out everywhere, put them anywhere, put them out. I want them.
Speaker 3: I just sell them wherever. I mean, what's the problem here?
Speaker 2: I also I loved the amount of people that read
Speaker 2: this announcement and had zero reading comprehension because the comments
Speaker 2: were like, all right, maybe we can get a release
Speaker 2: of in a Violent Nature, or maybe we'll get a
Speaker 2: better upgraded release of whatever title. And it's like the
Speaker 2: titles are listed in the post of what they're like.
Speaker 2: This is the full announcement. Come on, guys, let's read.
Speaker 2: So let's go through these. They are going with Aero
Speaker 2: video to put out night Watch from nineteen ninety four,
Speaker 2: The Sadness from twenty twenty one, Dead Stream from twenty
Speaker 2: twenty two, No Evil the Original from twenty twenty two,
Speaker 2: Hughsah The Bone Woman from twenty twenty two, Hellbender from
Speaker 2: twenty twenty one, night Watch, Damons Are Forever from twenty
Speaker 2: twenty three, and Perpetrator from twenty twenty three. Hellbender is
Speaker 2: the only film being released exclusively in the US. Night Watch,
Speaker 2: Demons Are Forever, and a Perpetrator all receiving a dual
Speaker 2: release in the US and UK, and the remainder of
Speaker 2: films are only going to be released in the UK.
Speaker 2: The Sadness will be in four K, the rest will
Speaker 2: be on Blu ray. I did leave the typo there
Speaker 2: on purpose for everybody that was laughing at that. They
Speaker 2: listed in Variety a very famous, well edited, supposedly publication
Speaker 2: Nightwatch Daemons Are Forever and I thought that was hilarious
Speaker 2: for everybody named Damon.
Speaker 3: I may get that dead Stream. I'd love to see
Speaker 3: what they are gonna put in the UK release for it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've got the I think it was a German
Speaker 2: media book release that looked like the Evil Dead two cover.
Speaker 2: But that's a movie that I think deserves really great
Speaker 2: special features.
Speaker 3: It's really good. I really dig that movie. And I
Speaker 3: haven't gotten on disc yet, but I know it won't
Speaker 3: be on four K, but that's fine. I'm really I
Speaker 3: love what Aero does. I think they when it's like
Speaker 3: almost an instant vibe. It's something I want from them,
Speaker 3: right and I don't mind getting it from you know,
Speaker 3: from from the British side as well, and if the
Speaker 3: Blu Rays region too, I don't care. It's fine. I'll
Speaker 3: get that. So so I'm excited for what they'll do
Speaker 3: with dead Stream. Curious what sort of extras is they'll
Speaker 3: do something new. They might just port over what they had,
Speaker 3: that's fine, so start I'm curious. I'm hoping they'll do
Speaker 3: something a little extra, but we'll see.
Speaker 2: I'm very excited. This will be the first HD release
Speaker 2: of Speak No Evil. The original one Eaton had been
Speaker 2: announced as coming to Blu Ray in the UK and
Speaker 2: that got canceled. At the time, we were wondering why
Speaker 2: this is why? Yeah, so that that answers that question entirely,
Speaker 2: and now hopefully we get good extra since that has
Speaker 2: not had a release at all. Which great movie, the
Speaker 2: original and the American remake. Very different, different films, but
Speaker 2: very good. And honestly, the American one was way better
Speaker 2: than I thought after seeing that trailer four hundred and
Speaker 2: twelve time play.
Speaker 3: James McAvoy is so good, dude. He is such a
Speaker 3: good actor.
Speaker 2: So good and has muscles I did not know existed.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was upsetting. I was upsetting as a man
Speaker 3: of a certain age and also Scottish. I was like,
Speaker 3: that's really unfair, James, that's unfair. But okay, well whatever, right.
Speaker 2: That is the big Arrow announcement. Next is the first
Speaker 2: Keno announcement of the week coming on Blu Ray. Hold
Speaker 2: that Blonde from nineteen forty five has a new two
Speaker 2: K master coming eventually on Blu Ray. Veronica Lake is
Speaker 2: the big name here for most people as well. Have
Speaker 2: you seen this one?
Speaker 3: I have no, I have not seen all of that
Speaker 3: blonde I this is one of those. And I'm like, well,
Speaker 3: let's see that Keno sale.
Speaker 2: Who knows this would be a great seven dollars title
Speaker 2: in a couple of years, I.
Speaker 3: Know, like give it a shot, you know, Veronica Lake,
Speaker 3: I don't know, let's see.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Also, very odd eye art on the poster, Like
Speaker 2: I know she's supposed to be winking, it doesn't look
Speaker 2: like a wink because they didn't do anything like muscles.
Speaker 2: It looks like she had a stroke.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it looks yeah, or yeah, she's she's maybe having
Speaker 3: Bell's palsy. I don't know. There's something going on there
Speaker 3: that isn't good.
Speaker 2: He is not.
Speaker 3: It does not scream throw me in the player and
Speaker 3: let's go. But but you know that's probably the original poster,
Speaker 3: and that's fine. Could be a very good movie.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna laugh. Now watch we get the film and
Speaker 2: the main storyline is about Bell's palsy and how you
Speaker 2: can still be a thief or something.
Speaker 3: No disrespect to people that have been through that, you
Speaker 3: know what I mean. But uh, but yeah, it does
Speaker 3: look a little weird. She's got a wonky eye there. Yeah.
Speaker 3: The Colton's correct. The posters even telling you wait for the.
Speaker 2: Sale all right. They announced Beethoven, Yes, that Beethoven with
Speaker 2: only Charles Groden coming again to Blu Ray someday soon
Speaker 2: from Keno. This coming from a four K scan of
Speaker 2: the OCN, and they think Beethoven only deserves a lateral
Speaker 2: move from blue to blue.
Speaker 3: I was good. I was gonna ask you about this.
Speaker 3: I was like, a have a four K scan, but
Speaker 3: they don't this. I know Keino does this. Sometimes they
Speaker 3: will sell the regular Blu Ray and then they'll upgrade.
Speaker 3: Are they just seeing how this sells and then they'll
Speaker 3: do a four K? I mean, I know it's expensive
Speaker 3: to do a four case, so maybe they're just seeing
Speaker 3: how the cells.
Speaker 2: First theoretically, but also, I mean, this is this is
Speaker 2: the sweet spot. I mean this, this is most people
Speaker 2: collecting physical media nowadays watch this between the ages of
Speaker 2: eight and twenty five, and now they're your main customers,
Speaker 2: and you're just like, eh, let's just do an okay
Speaker 2: job with it.
Speaker 3: I guess my kids love this movie, so I'll be
Speaker 3: getting it, you know what I mean? There, maybe our
Speaker 3: oldest is probably aging out of it, but they still
Speaker 3: love Beethoven, so it's like I'll be getting it. I'll
Speaker 3: be picking it up. I think I have it on DVD,
Speaker 3: so it'll be an upgrade for me.
Speaker 2: By the way, I totally forgot wild cast in this movie,
Speaker 2: Charles Droden, Bonnie Hunt, Oliver Platte, Stanley Tucci, David Dukevney,
Speaker 2: Patricia Heaton. Like the names not stop on this one.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's Beethoven. Yeah, I mean it's I'm I
Speaker 3: am shocked that they they don't do for the you
Speaker 3: have the four.
Speaker 2: K, you have it, right?
Speaker 3: I don't. I don't really understand it, and they don't
Speaker 3: often do HDR right, So it's.
Speaker 2: Like no unless was done before for them.
Speaker 3: Yeah, So I don't know if they have to if
Speaker 3: it's is it going to be that much more expensive
Speaker 3: just to do the four K? I mean, I don't know.
Speaker 3: That's a that's a question for Frank, I guess, But
Speaker 3: I just I don't understand why they wouldn't do it.
Speaker 2: But and Jim could be right. It could be that
Speaker 2: the four K rights for this one are too expensive,
Speaker 2: but it's true.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: At the same time, there's already a Blu ray out
Speaker 2: there and it's not egregiously bad. It's not like a
Speaker 2: stupendous blue ray. But it's not egregiously bad. Just just
Speaker 2: don't license it. It's still in print, like you can
Speaker 2: still get it for like eleven dollars right now? Why
Speaker 2: release this for fifteen?
Speaker 3: A Steffino seventy five? Who's clamoring for this to be
Speaker 3: on four K? Well, I am, I suppose you're talking
Speaker 3: to two of us. They're talking about it, so I
Speaker 3: guess the two of us.
Speaker 2: I mean, if that's the case, why do a four
Speaker 2: K scan of the OCN right?
Speaker 3: The only issue is that it's already been scanning four K,
Speaker 3: So why not? I mean, it's okay if you don't,
Speaker 3: I'll still get it. I'm still probably gonna pick it up.
Speaker 3: But yeah, it just feels like it's the avenue there.
Speaker 3: But you know, maybe like it, like Kim was saying,
Speaker 3: maybe it's just too expensive.
Speaker 2: All right, let's let's keep going Beethoven talk.
Speaker 3: This is great. He's almost got heated. I love it.
Speaker 2: I didn't think that a dog would be the most
Speaker 2: controversial thing we discussed.
Speaker 3: This is awesome. We're off the good start.
Speaker 2: Flicker Alley. We don't get to talk about them enough.
Speaker 2: They don't put out a lot, but when they do,
Speaker 2: it's pretty much the highest quality that you're gonna see
Speaker 2: on them. March fourth, they are releasing as part of
Speaker 2: their Flicker Fusion series Behind the Door from nineteen nineteen
Speaker 2: and Below the Surface from nineteen twenty. These are paired
Speaker 2: for the first time, both newly restored and available in
Speaker 2: their most complete versions. You've also got original scores for
Speaker 2: both of these. They've been re edited and retitled for
Speaker 2: Behind the Door at least, and that's the Russian version
Speaker 2: as well. You've got a bunch of extras on here.
Speaker 2: There are short films, there's essay, all kinds of stuff
Speaker 2: to make this worthwhile. The big thing for those that
Speaker 2: don't know about Flicker ally because we don't talk about
Speaker 2: them enough, their stuff can come across as expensive, and
Speaker 2: I get that nobody's necessarily gonna argue with that. On release,
Speaker 2: this will likely be thirty five dollars and you're thinking,
Speaker 2: what that's that's high for what just seems like a
Speaker 2: couple of silence, And that's true. Uh, but you're also
Speaker 2: literally like giving money to pure like blood, red sweat
Speaker 2: and tears pulled poured into this film. Restoration and everybody
Speaker 2: archiving this properly. If flicker Ally does incredible work, this
Speaker 2: is gonna be a magnificent release.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I'm not familiar with the movies. I don't know
Speaker 3: a ton about silent movies. I've seen some of this,
Speaker 3: you know, the bigger names, but you know this a
Speaker 3: they do good work. That's what it's all about. The
Speaker 3: film restoration is the joy physical media.
Speaker 2: So yep. And if that's not enough flicker Ally for you,
Speaker 2: they're also doing Merry Go Round. This is from nineteen
Speaker 2: twenty three. This is flicker Ally working together with black
Speaker 2: Hawk Films again to present, for the first time ever
Speaker 2: on Blu Ray, the new restoration of Merry Go Round.
Speaker 2: This is let me see what they said here, thanks
Speaker 2: to the dedicated restoration efforts of black Hawk Films with
Speaker 2: a support of the Sunrise Foundation and many archives throughout
Speaker 2: the world from Austria, Denmark, France and Moore. In a
Speaker 2: deluxe Blu Ray edition, this is gonna have a commentary.
Speaker 2: You will get to explore Vienna in the years before
Speaker 2: World War One. Was seventeen minutes of historical footage, which, honestly,
Speaker 2: that kind of stuff I always love to see on discs.
Speaker 3: That would be rad that would be rad.
Speaker 2: Nothing is ever gonna look like that again, and it's
Speaker 2: so cool to see stuff like that.
Speaker 3: Eric dron Stroheim, So I meant this one intrigued, so
Speaker 3: I you know, but that'd be pretty cool. I haven't
Speaker 3: been to Vienna in decades, but it was I did
Speaker 3: go there once and it's a beautiful city, so that
Speaker 3: footage would be really interesting to see.
Speaker 2: Yeah. There's also a new restoration of a film called
Speaker 2: Old Heidelberg from nineteen fifteen included on this as well.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah one, everyone's seen that. Everyone's seen that one.
Speaker 2: Behind the scenes of the new restoration with the film restorer,
Speaker 2: which loves stuff like that, and then a new essay
Speaker 2: on the production, and then of course Fidelity Emotion did
Speaker 2: the authoring, so you know it's gonna look as best
Speaker 2: as it could.
Speaker 3: That's awesome. I love a bonus movie. When you're buying
Speaker 3: a movie that's that's the best.
Speaker 2: It's literally the best extra. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, gold Ninja does that all the time. I love
Speaker 3: that about him. And they'll have like a secret movie
Speaker 3: they hide in their menu.
Speaker 2: On top of the already bonus movie that they advertised,
Speaker 2: and suddenly there's three or four.
Speaker 3: It's so great, all right.
Speaker 2: Next up is William Tell from twenty twenty four, getting
Speaker 2: a UK Blu ray release on March third. This is
Speaker 2: with Kingsley and Jonathan Price. Had not heard that this
Speaker 2: was a thing at all. You need a commentary on
Speaker 2: this with the director and the producer and some trailers.
Speaker 2: Uh yeah, William Tell feels.
Speaker 3: Like we're really desperate for that ip. That's what this
Speaker 3: kind of screamed to me. But I have not seen
Speaker 3: the film. It might be amazing, it might be an
Speaker 3: incredible movie about this, but according to someone, it's a rousing,
Speaker 3: old school Hollywood epic. What's funny?
Speaker 2: But you've were done. I was about to say, you know,
Speaker 2: I've heard there's some powerhouse performances.
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't know. It could be great. I
Speaker 3: don't know. I had never heard of it until you
Speaker 3: made this announcement, and I was like, geez, but that was,
Speaker 3: sadly my first cynical thought, like really scraping the bottom
Speaker 3: there that people know William Tell sort of at least vaguely,
Speaker 3: so we should make a movie about it.
Speaker 2: Next year was seeing Newton and the Apple.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Johnny Appleseed, one of a trilogy, an action epic Okay.
Speaker 2: Oh, man, go ahead too. The next one. This is man, this,
Speaker 2: This is gonna be really cool for a moment, and
Speaker 2: then I'm gonna say something really crappy about this. March nineteenth,
Speaker 2: Australia is getting a release from Madman Films of the
Speaker 2: Adam Elliott collection. Adam Elliott is the one that did
Speaker 2: Mary Max and this last year's Memoir of a Snail
Speaker 2: Oscar nominated. This is the first time on Blu ray
Speaker 2: of all of his shorts everything. This gets everything he's
Speaker 2: ever done, plus a fifty six page booklet and six
Speaker 2: art cards. This is an excellent release. That being said,
Speaker 2: the shitty part here is the label released Memoir of
Speaker 2: a Snail two weeks before they announced this was coming out,
Speaker 2: and a lot of people bought Memoir of a Snail
Speaker 2: and would have rather had this, And so it's not
Speaker 2: gonna be a bad release for those of us that
Speaker 2: are seeing it now. But that is kind of really
Speaker 2: shady to do it like that. Who do they?
Speaker 3: Who do they think they are?
Speaker 2: They're madmen?
Speaker 3: Well that's a bummer to hear that. But I was
Speaker 3: when I saw this. I was very excited because I
Speaker 3: just saw a memoir of its snail and so funny.
Speaker 3: No great comedy glory, No, it's it's yes, silent manimal.
Speaker 3: Indeed it is. Uh, it's such a good movie. But
Speaker 3: I'm lucky that I was going to show it to
Speaker 3: my kids. I was like, oh, let's I'll save this
Speaker 3: up and I'll watch it with the kids. And I
Speaker 3: finally decided to do it on my own. And I
Speaker 3: was like, oh good, because this was, uh, well it ends.
Speaker 3: It ends on a good note, but it is a
Speaker 3: uh it is a ride, emotional ride. But I really
Speaker 3: dug it, So I I'm excited for this collection. So
Speaker 3: I did not buy the disc So this looks awesome.
Speaker 3: So as long as it's good for people like me
Speaker 3: that missed the original, it is and hooray.
Speaker 2: And if you want this, you can pre order it
Speaker 2: now from Orbit. Uh they've already stated they're getting some
Speaker 2: in so that is a really easy way to get
Speaker 2: that for those that have never seen it, and maybe
Speaker 2: you've never seen Memoir of a Snail either, Mary Max
Speaker 2: Frickin' masterpiece. Genuinely like an incredible modern filmmaker. He is
Speaker 2: incredible at what he does.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's a Memoir of his Snail was awesome. So
Speaker 3: I was excited that that denominations. I was very excited
Speaker 3: that got nominated because it's well deserved, well deserved.
Speaker 2: Keep a note, though, this does say art, not final.
Speaker 2: Perhaps they're gonna make those nipples just a little bit bigger,
Speaker 2: you never know.
Speaker 3: Just tweak the nipples. I mean, that's what I always say.
Speaker 2: That's what I've heard. Uh, it's that a clay version
Speaker 2: of Charles Nelson Riley.
Speaker 3: Now I can see that. Now, I can't see it
Speaker 3: any other way now.
Speaker 2: And now I desperately hope that is the final art.
Speaker 2: Oh man, Yeah, let's go to the next one. Hey,
Speaker 2: Speaking of Australia, Umbrella had a hell of a slate
Speaker 2: well all coming on May seventh. This first one is
Speaker 2: the one that they've been teasing for a while, The
Speaker 2: Fall from two thousand and six coming on four K.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna scroll through some of the key art here.
Speaker 2: This is the first time that it's been in four K,
Speaker 2: although it is coming in four K and the US
Speaker 2: later this year from Mobe and at some point, I mean,
Speaker 2: movie might do it in the UK as well, but
Speaker 2: I'm sure it gets a UK release on four K
Speaker 2: as well. This is what many many people have called
Speaker 2: literally the most beautifully shot film ever. Obviously that's hy praise,
Speaker 2: but it truly is a gorgeous movie. This We've got
Speaker 2: a audio commentary by Tarzan Singh himself. We've got an
Speaker 2: audio commentary with some actors, producers, co writers. We've got
Speaker 2: some interviews on this, making of a visual essay by
Speaker 2: Rotten Nerhu. We've got the Quest for Origins Trauma Cinema
Speaker 2: and Storytelling in the Fall by Anton Battill, some deleted
Speaker 2: scenes making of and then of course it's an Umbrella release,
Speaker 2: so it's gonna come with all this fantastic art cards
Speaker 2: and written essays and all of that. How do you
Speaker 2: feel about The Fall?
Speaker 3: It's this has been one that people have been waiting
Speaker 3: for for a long time, and I think it was
Speaker 3: like somebody found a four K scan of it and
Speaker 3: that's how this kind of came about. This is great news.
Speaker 3: Big fan of losing my religion.
Speaker 2: I saw that.
Speaker 3: I've seen a lot of Tarzan's work, particularly that video,
Speaker 3: which I've seen about probably five hundred times when it
Speaker 3: was playing on regular rotation on MTV.
Speaker 2: And in every video store.
Speaker 3: Yeah, oh my god, everywhere. But no, this is a
Speaker 3: beautiful movie. I'll sell it to people that haven't seen
Speaker 3: it by saying, this is Tarsan's Adventures of Baron Munchee.
Speaker 3: That's how I would sort of describe it. And it's
Speaker 3: about sort of storytelling and this girl and the guy
Speaker 3: and she starts to imagine the story that he's telling her,
Speaker 3: and it is just gorgeous look at like incredible cinematography.
Speaker 3: So I will be picking this up. It's it's good,
Speaker 3: it's worth getting. Yeah, I'm excited for this one. I
Speaker 3: think Umbrella I agree who Paula thinks that in the
Speaker 3: comments it's an incredible slight This month from Umbrella just wild.
Speaker 3: But this is like, this one feels like, holy crap,
Speaker 3: well done.
Speaker 2: Craig points out this film shouldn't be mentioned without saying
Speaker 2: ko Ishioka's name. She's a huge reason why this is
Speaker 2: so beautiful. True. True. The other thing to point out
Speaker 2: to Umbrella has not had the best reviewed discs previously.
Speaker 2: They've had some problems on some four K, some compression
Speaker 2: issues and stuff. They made sure to advertise that this
Speaker 2: is being authored by Fidelity in Motion, and that's literally
Speaker 2: already the second time we've mentioned that, and we've not
Speaker 2: even been doing announcements like fifteen minutes so far. Yeah,
Speaker 2: proves how important David Mackenzie's work is to all boutique
Speaker 2: physical media right now, when you can say one company's
Speaker 2: name and everybody goes, oh, thank goodness, Okay, I can
Speaker 2: trust it. That's a bit.
Speaker 3: True, so true. Yeah, there are some issues. I do
Speaker 3: love Umbrella, and I ordered a lot of stuff from
Speaker 3: them because I really do dig what they're doing. But
Speaker 3: but yeah, I love their box sets are just awesome.
Speaker 3: They're so gorgeous to look at. But this movie is
Speaker 3: really good worth getting, I think.
Speaker 2: And has been really difficult to find on Blu Ray.
Speaker 2: It had a US Blu Ray and it has gone
Speaker 2: from like thirty dollars to second hand market like seventy dollars.
Speaker 2: This is This is likely worth a purchase, whether through
Speaker 2: Umbrella or wait for a movie. Nobody's going to say
Speaker 2: either way. But if you've never seen this, strong recommend
Speaker 2: great one.
Speaker 3: Yeah, are there fans of Immortals out there? Seven is
Speaker 3: asking I don't know. I saw in the movie theater.
Speaker 3: It was pretty empty, but I saw it. I was there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and yeah, Fideliu motion kills it. Yeah, absolutely. Next
Speaker 2: title from them is Shutter from two thousand and four.
Speaker 2: This is a title that I like, definitely have not
Speaker 2: seen it it probably since two thousand and six or seven.
Speaker 2: Damn fun movie. Absolutely worth it. It definitely feels early
Speaker 2: two thousand and if you've never seen it, I think
Speaker 2: that if you are nostalgic for that time period and
Speaker 2: the whole jhor Khor type craze that was going on
Speaker 2: back then, you probably like it this one. If you
Speaker 2: get the big Umbrella box, you get the four khdr feature,
Speaker 2: forty eight page book with behind the scenes experiences and essays,
Speaker 2: custom rigid slipcase, custom slipcase artwork, eight art cards, reversible poster.
Speaker 2: It will be a numbered release, and then the on
Speaker 2: disc extras you the audio commentary with Pierce Conran and
Speaker 2: James Marsh, new interview with the directors, new interview with
Speaker 2: the writer and director, new shadows Out of Asia, Shutter
Speaker 2: and the Asian Horror Boom by Travis Johnson, and then
Speaker 2: some behind the scenes and seals gallery. Have you seen
Speaker 2: Shutter before?
Speaker 3: I haven't. That was when I was trying to squeeze
Speaker 3: in before to before tonight, but I didn't get a
Speaker 3: chance to. But this looks interesting and I really want
Speaker 3: to check it out, but I have not seen it.
Speaker 2: Uh, definitely one that. Like I said, if you liked
Speaker 2: the early wave of Jhorr, you'd probably like this one.
Speaker 2: It's a good title. Although I will say if you
Speaker 2: are trepidacious about umbrella stuff, I definitely picture Arrow is
Speaker 2: probably gonna release this at some point. This screams like
Speaker 2: an Aero title.
Speaker 3: Though somebody was saying Simner was saying, there's like already
Speaker 3: five releases of this movie at this point.
Speaker 2: Yes, yes there are. There are quite a few in Blue.
Speaker 2: Although I believe this is the first four K of
Speaker 2: this Okay I may be wrong, but yeah, I think
Speaker 2: this is the first four K.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I haven't seen this. It looks good though, I
Speaker 3: wanted to check it out. So it is available, So
Speaker 3: I'm gonna check that one out. See if I'm gonna
Speaker 3: order it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, next one, This one is a Blu ray, not
Speaker 2: four K. This is Storm Warning from two thousand and seven.
Speaker 2: This is Jamie Blanks. If you don't know that name,
Speaker 2: he's the guy that did Urban Legend. Valentine. Excellent director.
Speaker 2: This film kind of rules and does not get enough love.
Speaker 2: For some reason. I think there was a problem with rights.
Speaker 2: For a while, you couldn't see this for some time.
Speaker 2: It wasn't available on streaming. I don't think it's had
Speaker 2: a Blu ray release in the States that's been available
Speaker 2: or anything like that. This will have a CD soundtrack
Speaker 2: of the original score that Jamie Blanks did, and the
Speaker 2: score on this is impeccable, genuinely great. I've bought the
Speaker 2: CD soundtrack for this before, super worth it. Forty eight
Speaker 2: page book with behind the scenes experiences and essays and stuff,
Speaker 2: all the same stuff we just talked about. And then
Speaker 2: there's a brand new commentary with Jamie Blanks moderated by
Speaker 2: Cameron Cairns who did Late Night with the Devil. There's
Speaker 2: an audio commentary from back in the day with Jamie
Speaker 2: Blanks and the screenwriter executive producers. There's a new behind
Speaker 2: the scenes featurette deleted scene cast interviews. There's also a
Speaker 2: new Jamie Blank's trailer reel, and then a new Silent
Speaker 2: Number short film, which again heavy recommend if you've never
Speaker 2: seen it. I really like this movie and I think
Speaker 2: other people would like it. That being said, I also
Speaker 2: feel like this is setting up for another release elsewhere
Speaker 2: if the rights have been figured out in Australia. I
Speaker 2: bet this gets a screen Factory release or a partner
Speaker 2: label release or something like that eventually.
Speaker 3: Yeah, this says, says screen Factory to me. This is
Speaker 3: this is one I think you know. This is Everett
Speaker 3: Derouche script that he wrote the eighties or nineties somewhere
Speaker 3: around there, and he got his hands on it and
Speaker 3: he wrote Long Weekend, which is weirdly the one. The
Speaker 3: last movie that I think Jamie Blank's directed is his
Speaker 3: remake Long Weekend, which I was like, why hasn't he
Speaker 3: directed another movie? If anyone else let me know, I'm
Speaker 3: I'm I'm just I was like shocked to realize that.
Speaker 3: But Everet Durose wrote, like, you know Razorback and Patrick
Speaker 3: and Fortress, and he's kind of like written a lot
Speaker 3: of like exploitation stuff, so I can see why he
Speaker 3: wanted to make it. And it's definitely if you haven't
Speaker 3: seen Stort Warning, this is definitely a throwback to those
Speaker 3: kinds of ozzy exploitation films. So a couple running a
Speaker 3: foul of a bad bunch of dudes.
Speaker 2: Uh sibbners asking do we know anything about the restoration?
Speaker 2: I just said, we don't know anything about it. And
Speaker 2: I don't even know if this was shot on film.
Speaker 2: Anybody know this two thousand and seven and being cheap,
Speaker 2: I kind of doubt it was.
Speaker 3: I wouldn't I wouldn't assume it was. It looks like
Speaker 3: at least what's available in terms of streaming. It looked
Speaker 3: pretty much like a set that they had, and they
Speaker 3: probably shot it on video. So I am curious what
Speaker 3: the restoration. If the restoration looks better than what's on streaming,
Speaker 3: because if it does that, that would be that would
Speaker 3: be great.
Speaker 2: Even then it's not a it won't be compressed like streaming,
Speaker 2: so it'll least look better than that, all right. And
Speaker 2: then next May seventh, they're also putting out Tie Horror,
Speaker 2: the eight movie collection. This will include dorm Alone, Phobia,
Speaker 2: Phobia two coming soon, a lot of land Countdown, and
Speaker 2: the Promise, along with a suite of new interviews, visual essays,
Speaker 2: galleries and more. This will have one hundred plus page
Speaker 2: book with essays by a bunch of individuals, custom artwork,
Speaker 2: eight art cards, two reversible posters, and this is going
Speaker 2: to be a four disc set. Lots of new extras
Speaker 2: on this. Literally every single disc has new interviews new commentaries,
Speaker 2: new visual essays, genuinely great looking set. If you are
Speaker 2: new to all this, I gotta say, I believe Coming
Speaker 2: soon is part of the pun here. Coming soon from
Speaker 2: air forty four or forty four. But unless you, I
Speaker 2: don't remember if that pre order already went up. If you,
Speaker 2: if you already had that pre ordered, obviously that might
Speaker 2: be a tough spot. But if not, this looks to
Speaker 2: be the better release because you get seven other films
Speaker 2: with it.
Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, this one. I saw this and I
Speaker 3: was pretty excited. I was able to watch one of them. Countdown. Yeah,
Speaker 3: which have you seen any of the movies on this?
Speaker 2: I have not, No, I've wanted to.
Speaker 3: So Countdown was okay. It was you know, like kind
Speaker 3: of a you know a lot of the movies seemed
Speaker 3: to be in that J horror K horror vibe. It' yeah,
Speaker 3: a lot of like ghosts and spirits. I was reading
Speaker 3: through all the different synopsises, and Countdown's more of like
Speaker 3: a a bad guy that kind of hangs out with
Speaker 3: these three people live in an apartment and then like
Speaker 3: bad things happen, but there is still a spiritual element
Speaker 3: to it.
Speaker 2: Nice.
Speaker 3: It felt like kind of like the setup of it
Speaker 3: was like okay, but like the second half of it,
Speaker 3: it really kind of goes into directions. I honestly didn't
Speaker 3: really expect it to go wow, and I was like, okay,
Speaker 3: all right, not bad. So, I mean, I'm very intrigued
Speaker 3: by this set. It's a lot of like aughts and
Speaker 3: like twenty eleven twenty twelves around that period of like films,
Speaker 3: so it's it's definitely of all of an era. And
Speaker 3: I started trying to watch a couple of the other
Speaker 3: ones that you can find them on the internet archive,
Speaker 3: but they have no subtitles. So I started watching a
Speaker 3: couple of the other ones just to see what the
Speaker 3: style was. But it can't It's hard to know how
Speaker 3: good the movie is because you can't understand what's truly happening.
Speaker 3: So but I'm as soon as I saw this, I
Speaker 3: was like, oh, this looks this looks very interesting, especially
Speaker 3: with the amount of extras and stuff. And it's just like, Okay, well,
Speaker 3: this is an exciting release. I'd be really curious to
Speaker 3: check this out.
Speaker 2: Jeffer saying, hold are these films. I may get one
Speaker 2: or two of the years wrong here, but I believe
Speaker 2: they were all from about two thousand and five to
Speaker 2: twenty thirteen something like that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, around that around that time. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Uh a cool collection of a time to be a
Speaker 2: collector with disposable income, Ain't that the fact? Uh, silence says,
Speaker 2: still waiting a thrilling Bloody Sword and one other release
Speaker 2: from forty four to forty four to go up for order. Yep,
Speaker 2: been waiting a while on that thrilling Bloody Sword.
Speaker 3: Speaking of Austrilla, do you not have that one?
Speaker 2: Uh, the Gold Ninja? Yeah, I have the Gold Ninja.
Speaker 2: Air forty four. Forty four also announced that was coming
Speaker 2: from them.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I have the Gold Ninja one. And it
Speaker 3: is quite a movie. It is real good.
Speaker 2: Nice.
Speaker 3: I would highly recommend it. I'm curious to see if
Speaker 3: how Air forty four or forty four does with the
Speaker 3: if their versions, you know, if they believe.
Speaker 2: I believe there is an actual scan of the negative.
Speaker 3: Ooh okay, well that would be cool.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: But there's something too that Gold Ninja release. I mean
Speaker 3: that there's kind of like that that grungey quality that
Speaker 3: almost kind of helps it in a weird way punk
Speaker 3: rock chart, that's for sure, Yeah, exactly, for sure.
Speaker 2: I think that's it. Yeah, that was it for Umbrella,
Speaker 2: and then moving on to Discothech, who announced a lot
Speaker 2: of stuff that people are excited about and a lot
Speaker 2: of stuff I know next to nothing about the same here,
Speaker 2: So I'm gonna be a lot of help, will be
Speaker 2: fairly quiet, just go through some of these details. In
Speaker 2: twenty twenty five, they're releasing Angel Heart, two thousand and
Speaker 2: five's alternate universe sequel to City Hunter. This will be
Speaker 2: all fifty episodes in Japanese with English subs for the
Speaker 2: first time on Blu Ray anywhere. Then we have The
Speaker 2: Street Fighter, the animated series. This is going to be
Speaker 2: SD on Blu Ray, all twenty six episodes in English,
Speaker 2: and a whole bunch of extras on this one as well.
Speaker 2: Then we've got common Writer X from nineteen seventy four,
Speaker 2: the third Common Rider series, races onto Blu Ray all
Speaker 2: thirty five episodes and Sparkling HD in Japanese with a
Speaker 2: new subtitle translation. A whole bunch of bonus features coming
Speaker 2: on this one too, coming in twenty twenty five. Last
Speaker 2: year they released the fourth installment of the Animal Classmates series,
Speaker 2: but in twenty twenty five they're also releasing Terrifying Girls
Speaker 2: High School. The other three titles including Women's Violent Classroom,
Speaker 2: Lynch Law Classroom, and Delinquent Convulsion Group. That's a lot
Speaker 2: of adjectives.
Speaker 3: That this is the one I'm most interested in. This
Speaker 3: is like one of the like pinky films kind of
Speaker 3: series that they did in the seventy two seventy three.
Speaker 3: I think that that is when this series comes out.
Speaker 3: I haven't seen any of them, but I'm curious. Those
Speaker 3: films are always sort of interesting, just you know, the
Speaker 3: expectation films at that time, I think are always fascinating.
Speaker 3: So this that was one that I was pretty interested
Speaker 3: in then, and I take it back. I did see
Speaker 3: Angel Hart. It's an incredible performance from Mickey Rourke. I
Speaker 3: really think it's one of his best work. And Robin
Speaker 3: de Naro is great in it too, So I did
Speaker 3: see that. But actually, this is a pretty big year
Speaker 3: for City Hunter. If you've never seen Jackie Chans City Hunter,
Speaker 3: it is a unbelievable, crazy film. But they actually did.
Speaker 3: There's a new City Hunter remake that is on Netflix.
Speaker 3: You can get it there. So this is this is
Speaker 3: a what a time for City Hunter. See songs City.
Speaker 2: Oh Man I love that. I think that was today.
Speaker 2: That's twice that we've used the songs in the Disconnected Universe.
Speaker 2: I used the Christian Slater songs reference in the Discord
Speaker 2: earlier today.
Speaker 3: We've been living that since the eighties.
Speaker 2: Bro, It's true.
Speaker 3: It's nineteen eighty nine. Heather, Heather, excuse me.
Speaker 2: Disco Tech in twenty twenty five, releasing The Happiness of
Speaker 2: the Categories, Kashi Mike's musical horror comedy Uh. This was
Speaker 2: previously released by Aero but has been out of print
Speaker 2: and fetching some money on the second nd market. So
Speaker 2: it'll be nice to have us back in print. Will
Speaker 2: it have new extras? They don't say the word I knew,
Speaker 2: so I'm gonna guess not. But it's nice that this
Speaker 2: will be back out there.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I have a meks like I have a lot
Speaker 3: he's I have a lot of blind spots for him,
Speaker 3: and this is one of.
Speaker 2: It's easy when he's directed four hundred and twelve.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know, I know, but I've missed a lot
Speaker 3: of them. And I was like, oh, this would also
Speaker 3: be a really interesting one. And then I went on,
Speaker 3: at least you know the people I follow One letterbox
Speaker 3: and I was like, oh, well, I don't know. It
Speaker 3: didn't exactly you say, definitely blind by this, but I'm
Speaker 3: certainly intrigued, especially him making a movie that's a musical
Speaker 3: like that. To me, I was like, well, I'm interested.
Speaker 3: I'm definitely interested in how he handled that.
Speaker 2: Knowing what you appreciate, this should be a Ryan Gallen
Speaker 2: must bake.
Speaker 3: I feel like it. I feel like it is. I
Speaker 3: appreciate that. I need that push, all right.
Speaker 2: Next is one of so many people are excited about.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna do my best saying this because I've never
Speaker 2: heard it said out loud. Uratsu Kidoji and Friends coming
Speaker 2: on Blu Ray in the US soon from Disco Tech.
Speaker 3: This is another white guy. I say, well done.
Speaker 2: I'm doing better with Asian stuff. I've been working on
Speaker 2: more Asian films behind the scenes, so I'm hoping to
Speaker 2: do my best there. This one is a new.
Speaker 3: Eric says that it's Eric says it's apparently absolute filth.
Speaker 2: It is.
Speaker 3: Yes, I'm okay.
Speaker 2: I'll also let me see if any of them say this. No, no,
Speaker 2: none of the comments here say it. So On Facebook,
Speaker 2: I got multiple comments that include the words tentacle, porn,
Speaker 2: so yeah, that's if that's your bag. New historic two
Speaker 2: K scan and restoration of the last known existing uncut
Speaker 2: thirty five millimeters prints from a private collection h emphasis
Speaker 2: on private. Badly damaged print took nine months to restore.
Speaker 2: They took new astro res development and reduced David's lifespan
Speaker 2: by years. That's one of the individuals at Discotheque Uncut
Speaker 2: first OVA series included in sub only SD episode one
Speaker 2: was very dim and as a restorational there's extensive liner
Speaker 2: notes and extras and more. So if this is your bag,
Speaker 2: good luck.
Speaker 3: And it's like they made it look a lot better,
Speaker 3: that's awesome. I mean, that's that's just I mean, I
Speaker 3: don't know. I'm I'm gonna go with Eric. I'm gonna
Speaker 3: probably grab this.
Speaker 2: I know nothing about it.
Speaker 3: Light up that filth. I want to see it.
Speaker 2: Well from filth, we go to prison. Let's talk about
Speaker 2: Sing Sing getting a Blu ray release from A twenty four.
Speaker 2: You can pre order this on Blu Ray now. It
Speaker 2: will be shipping in March, although when they say March,
Speaker 2: A twenty four has been shipping stuff early, so I
Speaker 2: wouldn't be surprised if you started getting this like middle
Speaker 2: of February type of announcements. This is going to include
Speaker 2: a commentary with the director and co writer Greg Queeter,
Speaker 2: but the producer, the editor, and the cinematographer. You got
Speaker 2: a couple of featurettes on here, some deleted scenes, behind
Speaker 2: the scenes photography. But also you should be able to
Speaker 2: get this fairly widely. A twenty four has been releasing
Speaker 2: their their stuff widly for the last handful of months.
Speaker 2: They do have you know, windows of exclusives on their
Speaker 2: website and then sometimes they have a four K on
Speaker 2: their website, but only Blu Ray in the store, So
Speaker 2: keep an eye out on this. But this is only
Speaker 2: coming out on Blue Ray, so if you want to
Speaker 2: save some change, I guarantee this will be cheaper elsewhere.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I haven't seen this yet, but I'm really excited
Speaker 3: for it. As I said, I like to see plays,
Speaker 3: so you know, theater inside of a prison. I'm like
Speaker 3: I am in so, so I'm excited to see this one.
Speaker 2: It's also exciting and I just talked about this someone
Speaker 2: on the other podcasts that Sing Sing finally just got
Speaker 2: its wide release. It technically premiered in I don't know,
Speaker 2: September or something like that. But finally for the Oscars
Speaker 2: just had a wide release like two weeks ago, and
Speaker 2: it's the first film ever to premiere simultaneously in theaters
Speaker 2: and in prisons at the exact same time, which A
Speaker 2: twenty four likely just did that to get a nice
Speaker 2: headline out of it. However, I still I really like
Speaker 2: that story. It's a really yeah way. It's very humane, helps,
Speaker 2: you know, helps the hopeful nature of individuals.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I like it right, Yeah, me too, Me too,
Speaker 3: supposed to be They're supposed to be in there for rehabilitation.
Speaker 3: What's better than, you know, watching an inspiring story about
Speaker 3: prison positivity. Yeah, exactly, come on.
Speaker 2: I'm all about it. The art on this one looks good.
Speaker 2: I really knew Ce sink singh it's me too. Well,
Speaker 2: that's on my list. Film Masters one of the favorite
Speaker 2: labels of a handful of individuals I know. They are
Speaker 2: putting out the New Adventures of Tarzan from nineteen thirty five.
Speaker 2: This is the twelve chapter serial that got a brand
Speaker 2: new restoration. Not many people can do that, and film
Speaker 2: Masters is one of them. Glad they're putting us out.
Speaker 2: This is coming on their archive collection on January twenty eighth,
Speaker 2: So literally next week and you can preorder it now.
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is not one that I've seen obviously, but
Speaker 3: film Masters, I love what they're doing. Their disc look great.
Speaker 3: They started off with a couple of great Roger Corman stuff,
Speaker 3: so of course I bought in early and I was like, yeah,
Speaker 3: I love what they're doing. So I don't know. I mean,
Speaker 3: I'm intrigued because I think they do incredible work over.
Speaker 2: There, Greig. They were the New Adventures at the time.
Speaker 2: You might be Old Adventures now.
Speaker 3: The New Old Adventures of Tarzan.
Speaker 2: Matthew wants to know how did Tarzan stay so clean shave?
Speaker 3: He's got a knife, holding a knife. He's got a knife.
Speaker 3: Who gave him a knife? Is what I want to know.
Speaker 3: That's crazy? How did you get a hold of that?
Speaker 3: Where did that monkey find a knife?
Speaker 2: From Jade? Our next time, we're talking about April eighth,
Speaker 2: Well Goes releasing Jade from twenty twenty four. This is
Speaker 2: with Mickey Rourke and Shana West and a little known
Speaker 2: India actor Mark Dkoskis is in this. This says after
Speaker 2: a brother's untimely and accidental death at her own hands,
Speaker 2: Jade swore she'd never pick up another gun. But when
Speaker 2: she unknowingly comes between powerful businessmen Torque and her former
Speaker 2: gang leader and their urgent search free valuable hard drive
Speaker 2: that could single handedly take down Interpol, Wow, she may
Speaker 2: not have a choice. With the guidance of Reese, an
Speaker 2: old friend at Interpol, Jade must come to terms with
Speaker 2: all she's faced in the past and present, or sorry,
Speaker 2: in the past and present, to safeguard her growing family's future.
Speaker 2: The trailer for this makes this look pretty damn rad
Speaker 2: This movie looks great.
Speaker 3: I watched the trailer too, and I was like, well,
Speaker 3: I'm interested. The guy who directed this seems like he's
Speaker 3: done allotted like d t D TV stuff, and I
Speaker 3: was like, okay, well that's why it's no mark against
Speaker 3: him and I the trailer. This looks awesome. I'm just
Speaker 3: nervous that we just got to see all the best
Speaker 3: stuff from the movie in the tailor. But I'm certainly
Speaker 3: interested in checking out the movie, So yeah, it looks
Speaker 3: good to me.
Speaker 2: I definitely want to see this one. Looks fun.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it looks good.
Speaker 2: Next the Creep Tapes, the Shutter TV series getting a
Speaker 2: Blue Rail release on April twenty seconds loved the Creep films.
Speaker 2: So glad that second site was able to put out
Speaker 2: the first one. Just speaking into the ether, you better
Speaker 2: also have the second one in the works, because we
Speaker 2: definitely need a blue ray release of Creep two. Did
Speaker 2: you watch the Creep tapes?
Speaker 3: Right? I have not watched any of the Creep films
Speaker 3: or the Creep tapes. I this one. I don't know why.
Speaker 3: I think because this one was just streaming, So I
Speaker 3: never saw Creep originally. I don't think it played in theaters.
Speaker 2: Right, so just Netflix.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know why I didn't. I just didn't see.
Speaker 3: I remember that when the first one came out. I
Speaker 3: saw the trailer a few times and I just didn't.
Speaker 3: I don't know, I just miss it, just missed me.
Speaker 3: Just one of those things. I don't know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, this this feels like a very Ryan film as well.
Speaker 2: This has some aggressively awkward comedy moments.
Speaker 3: And then just that's my style.
Speaker 2: And then on top of that, they pulled out this
Speaker 2: like awkward horror that makes so like creep is the
Speaker 2: perfect word. It's so unnerving the way that they did
Speaker 2: some of this.
Speaker 3: Oh that sounds good. Yeah, I mean I like the
Speaker 3: guys that made it. I mean, I don't know, I
Speaker 3: just never got around to it, but I'd like to
Speaker 3: check it out aggressively. Fine apparently so, Yeah.
Speaker 2: I've not seen any of the series yet, but the
Speaker 2: two films I tried.
Speaker 3: I would start with the movies.
Speaker 2: Yes, ye, Silent Mandible says, I've heard that they're working
Speaker 2: on the third one. I hope. So they've been supposedly
Speaker 2: writing that for like nine years or something. I would
Speaker 2: certainly love to see a finale to the trilogy. All right. Next,
Speaker 2: Scream Team releasing. We talk about these guys probably every
Speaker 2: I don't know, three months or so that they put
Speaker 2: something out. February fourteenth, they are releasing Lukilu from twenty
Speaker 2: twenty five. This is a brand new movie. This is
Speaker 2: a indie horror. If you've never followed Sco Team releasing,
Speaker 2: this says a budding documentarian's innocent passion for filmmaking morphs
Speaker 2: into a harrowing obsession, leading him down a dark path
Speaker 2: of stocking and filming women. His newfound hobby sets off
Speaker 2: a descent into darkness, from peaking through windows to home
Speaker 2: invasion to cold blooded murder. Themes of voyeurism, violence, and
Speaker 2: the power of images drive the narrative creating a chilling
Speaker 2: atmosphere with gritty, disturbing imagery. Loki Lou will leave you
Speaker 2: terrified long after the credits roll. On disc features, we
Speaker 2: get an audio commentary, a Scaring is Impolite documentary, interview,
Speaker 2: cutting room floor, film festival, Q and as, and trailers.
Speaker 2: This will be a press disc. It is not a
Speaker 2: BDR and if you want, they have this upgrade of
Speaker 2: bundle that you can get with a signed Blu ray poster,
Speaker 2: an evidence bag, a bloody house key. Not sure why
Speaker 2: you want that, but you can black rubber glove, crime
Speaker 2: scene tape, a wanted flyer, and a mask cutout. I
Speaker 2: also wanted to shout out I know that we talked
Speaker 2: about punk music. Ever so shortly earlier, I got really excited.
Speaker 2: I put on the trailer for this to see if
Speaker 2: it was something I was like I'm excited to post about,
Speaker 2: or it was just like begrudgingly post about. And they
Speaker 2: come up in the credits says this film is scored
Speaker 2: by a band called Harley Poe that I've followed for
Speaker 2: years and years. Okay, they used to be a Christian
Speaker 2: band called Calibredo thirteen and then they aggressively left religion
Speaker 2: and kept the exact same sound but put up a
Speaker 2: middle finger to the heavens. And they are incredible at
Speaker 2: what they do. They have a song called the Girl
Speaker 2: Had Syphilis, and it is it is so so funny.
Speaker 2: But yeah, to know that they are scoring a film
Speaker 2: like this, I am. I'm excited. I need the Blu Ray.
Speaker 3: She had syphilis. So it's like a happy story. It's
Speaker 3: like a real happy ending to that song.
Speaker 2: Everybody after this go to Spotify, look up the Girl
Speaker 2: had Syphilis and please laugh.
Speaker 3: Looks like a bloody key is coming to your door
Speaker 3: pretty soon, there, Ryan Berrel.
Speaker 2: I don't need I don't need all the extras. I
Speaker 2: just want the Blu Ray.
Speaker 3: But well, you might as well go for it. You
Speaker 3: might as well go for it. Bl just your own.
Speaker 2: This.
Speaker 3: The plot sounds a little bit like a movie called
Speaker 3: Sweet Kill. The New World released. It is one of
Speaker 3: Curtis Hanson's churs. Hansen's first directorial effort, Just ah ta
Speaker 3: tab Hunter walking around Venice looking in women's uh windows
Speaker 3: and stuff and yeah, and Roger Corman adding extra nudity
Speaker 3: to it uh to be able to sell it as
Speaker 3: as the Arousers which is how he released it. But
Speaker 3: that's neither here nor there. Uh this I'm you know,
Speaker 3: I'm interested. I don't know if I need all the extras,
Speaker 3: but I'm I'm stoked for whoever is such a lucky
Speaker 3: loopan that they're like, oh my god, the bloody key,
Speaker 3: this is amazing, Like I but that's that's so I
Speaker 3: know there's someone there that's super fun for it. That's awesome.
Speaker 2: So this is gonna sound like I'm defending the Chatchki's
Speaker 2: I am not. However, I am genuinely impressed. If you
Speaker 2: go to their website, just the Blu rays twenty bucks,
Speaker 2: this whole bundle only thirty five, Like for a poster,
Speaker 2: a mask, all this stuff, a glove, a house key,
Speaker 2: real blood, Like thirty five dollars is not that bad?
Speaker 3: Did they say real blood? Did I miss that?
Speaker 2: I'm assuming they put real blood on it. You couldn't
Speaker 2: use fake blood. Who would believe that?
Speaker 3: You're like, come on, it's thirty five dollars. Some real
Speaker 3: blood on that key?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 3: Is that before shipping? Come on, I've paid, you know,
Speaker 3: get some real blood on there. Yeah, I mean that
Speaker 3: is that is pretty good price point? And uh and
Speaker 3: I honestly, there's you know, there's someone out there that
Speaker 3: has decided to get that key and I love that.
Speaker 2: And most of them probably worked on the film. But hey,
Speaker 2: let's go.
Speaker 3: I didn't say. Yeah, I mean, but they're still excited.
Speaker 3: That's the point. They're still excited.
Speaker 2: As we say in our network, every podcast is somebody's
Speaker 2: favorite podcast.
Speaker 3: Right's right, that's correct, that's all right.
Speaker 2: March seventeenth, the UK is getting a release of a
Speaker 2: Touch of Love from nineteen sixty nine from Studio Canal
Speaker 2: as part of their Vintage Classics line. In this cover
Speaker 2: you might recognize a slightly younger Ian McKellen with not
Speaker 2: gray hair.
Speaker 3: I did not recognize him, so I had to read
Speaker 3: his name on there to be like that's Ian McKellen.
Speaker 3: I did not recognize him at all.
Speaker 2: This has some new extras. We've got an interview with
Speaker 2: whars Hussein, interview with Dame Margaret Drabble. It's a very
Speaker 2: UK name new a Touch of Love tribute or featurette
Speaker 2: on Sir Ian McKellen, and then some archival features and
Speaker 2: then a go into details on the restoration. I love
Speaker 2: when we get details on the restoration work.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I mean Studio Canal. I love the work
Speaker 3: that they do. I've not seen this movie, but I'm
Speaker 3: certainly interested. Sandy Dennis and Ian McKellen like, that's intriguing.
Speaker 3: Speaking of God Told Me Too with Sandy Dennis does
Speaker 3: a couple scenes in that movie. It's the only New
Speaker 3: World movie she's ever appeared in, so and she's a
Speaker 3: fantastic actor. I know, right, I'm always surprised some people
Speaker 3: have the good taste to stay away from New World,
Speaker 3: which is you know, I'm always I'm proud of them, But.
Speaker 2: Most of the time I think of it like quick saying,
Speaker 2: you just assumed that they were there for a few days,
Speaker 2: they couldn't get out.
Speaker 3: Well, a lot of it had to do with the
Speaker 3: fact that it was Larry Cohen, and Larry Cohen was
Speaker 3: shooting at in New York and at that time he
Speaker 3: would do this a lot. He would he go to
Speaker 3: people on that were doing plays on Broadway or off
Speaker 3: Broadway and be like, hey, come on in during the
Speaker 3: day and get your you know, make it shoot for
Speaker 3: a few days. She only shopped for a couple of days.
Speaker 3: She's in like two or three scenes, and you know,
Speaker 3: you get a nice paycheck. You're in a movie and
Speaker 3: you can still make your matinees and your plays that night,
Speaker 3: and they work around for theater schedules. So people were
Speaker 3: always willing to do that for him. So yeah, and
Speaker 3: he gets Sandy Dennis in his movie, you know. So
Speaker 3: it's like it just everybody wins.
Speaker 2: And it always worked for Larry. I mean even with
Speaker 2: the Chicago PD that's the best part. Little Q the
Speaker 2: wing serpent humor lets carry on, says as I transitioned
Speaker 2: into Inspector Wrex.
Speaker 3: I don't know this one. Don't know this one.
Speaker 2: Via Vision is releasing Inspector Rex the original series one
Speaker 2: and two on Blu Ray on March twenty sixth. This
Speaker 2: is coming in Australia, of course. This is the first
Speaker 2: time it's been on Blu Ray anywhere in the world.

Speaker 3: I could be in if that's the case. This I've
Speaker 3: not seen this, I don't I'm not aware of it.
Speaker 3: I will say, I just started watching Deadlock, which is
Speaker 3: an Australian show. I don't know if anyone's heard of it.
Speaker 3: Really good. No, it's not Inspector Rex. It's tangential, tangentially
Speaker 3: related to what we're talking about in the loosest of
Speaker 3: all basises. But still there you go.
Speaker 2: The cover you can't even take seriously, like he's looking
Speaker 2: at some danger. On the right, he like his mouth
Speaker 2: isn't closed. On the left visible gun dog's mouth open.
Speaker 3: Is the dog right that? If the dog solves all
Speaker 3: the cases, I us spend all the money for via
Speaker 3: vision to send that to me. I'll pay the ship.
Speaker 3: The dog figures it out, and they're just waiting on
Speaker 3: him to figure it out. Per episode I'm.
Speaker 2: In, Matthew says, please tell me the dog can talk.
Speaker 3: Please. I would be so in. I'll look it up.

Speaker 3: man what now outside of it being a title of
Speaker 3: a Morrissey song, but from his first solo record, back
Speaker 3: before he lost his mind or he was he he
Speaker 3: was lost his mind in a way that we were
Speaker 3: all comfortable.
Speaker 2: With the comment that says, I guess Morrissey likes this movie.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, who said that?
Speaker 2: Celeste?
Speaker 3: Oh Celeste, yeah, thank you, thank you, job. You're with me,
Speaker 3: You're with me. That's what I was like, Oh, that's
Speaker 3: what I immediately thought of. Oh that's a Morrisey song.
Speaker 3: Maybe he got it from this movie. I don't know,
Speaker 3: I've never seen it, but Indicator does amazing stuff. I
Speaker 3: love everything I've gotten from Indicator. I've never been unhappy
Speaker 3: so who knows.
Speaker 2: We are getting Inspector Rex punch glory.
Speaker 3: All of the Inspector will work the to the bone.
Speaker 2: If you won't talk, he'll rough you up.
Speaker 3: I mean, I hope we've sold some Inspector Rex tonight.
Speaker 3: If we've done anything.
Speaker 2: The whoops, I just closed it because I was laughing
Speaker 2: to Art. I'm gonna get a message from via Vision
Speaker 2: in the morning and says, what the hell we sold
Speaker 2: out of our stock of Inspector WREC. So we did
Speaker 2: not expect that. What happened.
Speaker 3: It's really God wanted to get that create.
Speaker 2: All us IP addresses. Not sure? Can you explain? Here's
Speaker 2: our next Indicator title. This one is Spawn of the North.
Speaker 2: This is from nineteen thirty eight from Henry Hathaway, starring

Speaker 3: so now it looks interesting. I just never seen it.

Speaker 2: from Edgar Wallace's first ever screen credit, with a newly
Speaker 2: commissioned concertina score by Bernard Wrigley. Then of course a
Speaker 2: limited booklet included with this by Pamela Hutchinson, and some
Speaker 2: archival work as well. Anime Wong pretty much always kills it.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Kim Tamaroff, who was one of orson Wells's you know,
Speaker 3: a go to guy in touch of Evil and a
Speaker 3: bunch of stuff, So he worked with orson a bunch
Speaker 3: and I don't know the movie, but I mean, certainly
Speaker 3: the cast is intriguing, like its indicator. I'm sure these
Speaker 3: are good movies, you know, they don't They have great taste, So.
Speaker 2: I just don't know this. In twenty twenty two, there
Speaker 2: was a US Quarter celebrating Anime Wong.
Speaker 3: Oh, well, that's cool.
Speaker 2: I didn't know the how amazing.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's incredible, all right, Yes, Stan, anything with Akham
Speaker 3: Tamaroff is worth a watch. I agree, he's great.
Speaker 2: Speaking of great actors, Gregory Peck, Anthony Quinn, Omar Shariff
Speaker 2: in Behold a Pale Horse also getting released from them.
Speaker 2: This is from nineteen sixty four. This one has an
Speaker 2: HDV remaster twenty twenty five. Academic and film history and
Speaker 2: Kaitlyn McDonald discusses the transition of the famed filmmaker's novel
Speaker 2: from the page to the screen. We got a Guardian
Speaker 2: interview with Omar Sharif from nineteen eighty four, some image
Speaker 2: galleries and then a booklet by Michael Pattinson and some
Speaker 2: other archival work.
Speaker 3: This is the one I was probably the most interested in.
Speaker 3: I know that this wasn't like a I never seen it.
Speaker 3: I know it wasn't popular at the time when it
Speaker 3: came out, and it seemed like there was going to
Speaker 3: be a slam dunk, especially with Gregory Peck and Anthony Greton,
Speaker 3: Omar Shariff, Fred Zenneman. I mean he's directed. I mean
Speaker 3: he's an incredible director. So I mean, I'm I saw
Speaker 3: a little bit of the trailer. I'm very interested in
Speaker 3: this one. I just haven't I've never seen it. This
Speaker 3: would probably be one I go to after I bought
Speaker 3: Inspector Rex, but after after that, I mean, I'll throw
Speaker 3: this in the car too. This this does look really
Speaker 3: interesting and I want to check it out.
Speaker 2: This is definitely like if you are if you're shopping
Speaker 2: an indicator sale and you're one title short of free shipping,
Speaker 2: this is the one you go, ah that that's a
Speaker 2: good pool. Let's throw that one in the cart too.
Speaker 3: Anthony said he sent me an anime one quarter and
Speaker 3: I did not get it.
Speaker 2: I'm the impostor you're the original.
Speaker 3: Oh oh, we said, Oh okay, I read that wrong.
Speaker 2: Anthony sent me a package last year and he got
Speaker 2: lost in the mail and he's still devastated because it
Speaker 2: had like a very expensive eBay purchase and an original
Speaker 2: one print and uh, yeah.
Speaker 3: That's a bummer.
Speaker 2: That's a bummer, Inspector Rex. He knows how. The tail
Speaker 2: is so spec.
Speaker 3: It's it should be getting old to me, but it's not.
Speaker 3: I really I can't get enough of it. Yes, give
Speaker 3: me back show to what Craig said. Behold it behold
Speaker 3: a pale horse does look really good. It looks good.
Speaker 3: I'm really intrigued by this one.
Speaker 2: I love how after Craig's weird to Trivia, Travis says
Speaker 2: we'd been to trivia. Inspector Rex is a talk.
Speaker 3: Who knew? Who knew?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 3: Man, you know what, he's the best dog in the forest.
Speaker 2: Uh, but it's a it's a it's kind of a
Speaker 2: mature show. If you want to watch it, you better
Speaker 2: ask your pa. Uh. Let's go to the next one.
Speaker 2: All right, we've talked about this title already come to
Speaker 2: the so we won't spend too much time with it.
Speaker 2: The Catamante Cristo from last year getting a release in
Speaker 2: the US on March fourth from Samuel Goldwyn Films. This
Speaker 2: one no extras listening, no extras, Yeah nothing. I could
Speaker 2: see this getting a better release. In fact, I think
Speaker 2: This got a four K in France, but it doesn't
Speaker 2: have English subs unfortunately.
Speaker 3: I'm really I really want to see this, and I
Speaker 3: know it was playing in LA but at the times
Speaker 3: I couldn't work out of time to go see it.
Speaker 3: I really want to see. It's also a little long,
Speaker 3: but I know that there's sequels coming already.
Speaker 2: Oh I did not hear that.
Speaker 3: I believe there is already a sequel to this in France.
Speaker 3: I could be wrong, but I believe so. I was
Speaker 3: kind of eyeing this one in advance. I was excited
Speaker 3: when this was going to come out, and then I
Speaker 3: saw this release. I was like, oh cool, we talk
Speaker 3: about it. There's no extras. Oh well, okay, well I
Speaker 3: guess well, we'll see what else is out there or
Speaker 3: somebody else puts this out, you know.
Speaker 2: Supposedly though this is an incredible film. This as like
Speaker 2: very great reviews.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're reviews in this has been stellar. I really
Speaker 3: want to see it.
Speaker 2: So the poster does not inspire much confidence.
Speaker 3: Yeah that's true.
Speaker 2: Oh well, next up, Oscilloscope. We were talking about this earlier. Yeah,
Speaker 2: in late spring, you will be able to get this
Speaker 2: release of the Vordillac from twenty twenty three. This is
Speaker 2: adapted from a novella that predates Bram Stoker's Dracula by
Speaker 2: over half a century. The Vordillac is an atmospheric, unexpected
Speaker 2: censorial experience that will leave you reeling and giddy in
Speaker 2: equal measure. This is coming on Blu ray and DVD,
Speaker 2: as per most Oscilloscope stuff. If you're an Oscilloscope subscriber
Speaker 2: in their circle of trust, you will be getting this probably,
Speaker 2: I'm guessing around March ish in the mail. This will
Speaker 2: have a deleted scene, a behind the scenes featurette, a
Speaker 2: short film called Le Petit seren and then another short
Speaker 2: film called that Condiments you rigg whatever, I'm not French,
Speaker 2: and then a trailer. This looks fantastic, though.
Speaker 3: I started watching this today and I only made it
Speaker 3: in about ten fifteen minutes in. I'm intrigued so far,
Speaker 3: so I'm I probably will finish this tonight when we're done,
Speaker 3: and just because I'm excited, because this is a potential
Speaker 3: title that I could be getting at home, so I'm
Speaker 3: excited for sure, so I didn't want to wait. But yeah,
Speaker 3: this looks really interesting. So I so far, so good.
Speaker 3: I was hoping to have seen it so I could
Speaker 3: talk about it, but didn't have ran out of time today.
Speaker 2: So damn good cover art, especially compared to what we
Speaker 2: just saw on that poster.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the piece of the Count of Monte Cristo for
Speaker 3: cover art, for sure.
Speaker 2: The fact that this is something that has inspired so much,
Speaker 2: definitely one I am eager to put in as soon
Speaker 2: as Ocilloscope gets me in my coffee, my coffee, my copy.
Speaker 2: I need coffee, I guess.
Speaker 3: For your coffee, get your colle with your coffee.
Speaker 2: Ocilloscope is the kind of label that would send you
Speaker 2: like a bag of coffee with one of your releases
Speaker 2: as a bonus.
Speaker 3: They sent me this one and with with a pair
Speaker 3: of socks released.
Speaker 2: I saw the picture when they.
Speaker 3: Were super comfortable and warm.
Speaker 2: It was awesome. You were if you were a sub
Speaker 2: wind they put out short Bust. They sent you a
Speaker 2: bottle of lube.
Speaker 3: Yes they still sell that. I think they sell that
Speaker 3: with the I think so yeah, yeah, uh may pick
Speaker 3: it up.
Speaker 2: March twenty fifth, BBC is releasing Asia from twenty twenty four,
Speaker 2: one of their Nature Wild Animal documentaries. I'm only coming
Speaker 2: on Blu Ray this time, not four K. But once again,
Speaker 2: you watch any of the trailers for these documentaries and
Speaker 2: you're immediately intrigued.
Speaker 3: Yeah, ah, Inspector Rex, what's around his neck? Isn't his
Speaker 3: only collar? Oh man? That is not Steve Coogan. By
Speaker 3: the way, Sidner, I think you're talking about the Vordilac.
Speaker 2: But speaking of the vorderlact that starts streaming on Showter tomorrow.
Speaker 2: Thanks Colton.
Speaker 3: Okay, good to know. See shudder. And weirdly enough, one
Speaker 3: of the when the movie starts, it has tons of
Speaker 3: like companies that worked on the Vordilac. One of them
Speaker 3: was Amazon Prime. How are they involved in that as
Speaker 3: a production studio? No idea? Crazy? Perhaps like a foreign
Speaker 3: subsidiary of I don't know crazy. I was surprised to
Speaker 3: see not only a large list of names of who
Speaker 3: made it just on one single card, but also Amazon
Speaker 3: Prime in the middle. I was like, wow, okay.
Speaker 2: I always laugh at that at indies nowadays. Is the
Speaker 2: first six minutes of the movies or thirty second production
Speaker 2: reels that they had to go through.
Speaker 3: We had to get every company in order to make
Speaker 3: scrape together enough money to make this movie, each.
Speaker 2: One with the on cinematic flourish for twenty four seconds
Speaker 2: plus a fade in and fade out, and.
Speaker 3: Then you get to see all the executive producers and
Speaker 3: there's just like six title cards of like three to
Speaker 3: four executive producers.
Speaker 2: Thirty eight people each put in one thousand dollars for this.
Speaker 3: I mean, you gotta make it. You gotta make it.
Speaker 3: However you can make it, you know.
Speaker 2: Bortolac starts streaming on Monday, not.
Speaker 3: Tom okay, okay, but soon, damn it.
Speaker 2: Colton, Thanks for sharing the right information. Uh, I've gotten
Speaker 2: so many questions about this white commet section already. We
Speaker 2: had already talked about the film Eat the Night, coming
Speaker 2: from Altered Innocence. This is coming on March eleventh on
Speaker 2: Blu Ray in the US. However, for the first time
Speaker 2: in a while, they announced that they are doing a
Speaker 2: Diabolic DVD exclusive slipcover. And this is the slipcover. Even
Speaker 2: though it says dark Noon, this is a play on
Speaker 2: the game that they are playing in the film. This
Speaker 2: is designed by sister and I freaking love this cover.
Speaker 2: This is if you don't remember, Pablo, a small time
Speaker 2: drug dealer, and his teenage sister Appauline, have forged an
Speaker 2: unbreakable bond through their shared obsession with the online video
Speaker 2: game Dark Noon. When Pablo falls from the Mysterious Night,
Speaker 2: he gets swept up in their liaison, abandoning his sister
Speaker 2: to go with the impending shutdown of their digital haven alone.
Speaker 2: As Pablo's reckless choices provoke the wrath of a dangerous
Speaker 2: rival gang, the end of their virtual life draws near,
Speaker 2: upending their reality. The newest vision from Caroline Poogiai and
Speaker 2: Jonathan Fannel is a bittersweet apocalyptic love story with a
Speaker 2: modern MMO RPG twist. A sentence I never thought i'd
Speaker 2: say again, let alone the first time I said it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I as a game, I would totally pick it
Speaker 3: up as a movie. It looks really interesting too. It's
Speaker 3: the art is really it works. It's a really effective cover.
Speaker 2: The fact that it's all unique and made for the
Speaker 2: slip is so brilliant. Yes, ride generally on an absolute
Speaker 2: tear with cover art recently.
Speaker 3: That's awesome.
Speaker 2: That's really cool, very very happy about it.
Speaker 3: I also want to give a shout out to Matthew
Speaker 3: who said Rex jumps through a plant glass window about
Speaker 3: two seconds into the show's opening credits, which if he doesn't,
Speaker 3: that is a total miss.
Speaker 2: I I we literally could have been the trailer for
Speaker 2: Inspector Rex. And I'm gonna call Via Vision myself tomorrow.
Speaker 3: Man, I hope we've sold a bunch for him, because
Speaker 3: you know that's what I hope.
Speaker 2: Uh. May thirteenth, MVD rewind is releasing tunnel Vision from
Speaker 2: nineteen seventy eight on Blu Ray DVD. Have you seen
Speaker 2: this one?
Speaker 3: No, I've not seen tunnel Vision. This is one that
Speaker 3: was like, you know, like a lot of stuff that
Speaker 3: MVD rewind butt out, stuff that I remember video yep,
Speaker 3: and not one that I ever got to see.
Speaker 2: And I don't know.
Speaker 3: How do you feel about MVD rewind I have. I
Speaker 3: have a ton of their stuff, but recently I kind
Speaker 3: of haven't. I've been very picky about what I picked
Speaker 3: up from them.
Speaker 2: I I think I had like the first thirty of
Speaker 2: their titles, and then the next two or three I
Speaker 2: got in and watched and went these have taken a
Speaker 2: real hit in the quality tank and didn't like what
Speaker 2: they looked like. They still get some good titles in,
Speaker 2: Like I just got a Cheerleaders Wild Weekend in I
Speaker 2: definitely wanted to copy that one. This is one I'll
Speaker 2: probably grab just because it's up my classic comedy type
Speaker 2: of Alley definitely in for it. But other than that,
Speaker 2: like I know, I've already harped on it recently, but
Speaker 2: something like Hail Caesar never should have been on disc
Speaker 2: that they did.
Speaker 3: It's well number one. I rented that one way back when,
Speaker 3: and so I don't need to see that one again.
Speaker 3: I'm good I saw back then. I'm good I gave
Speaker 3: it that time. And and this one doesn't have the
Speaker 3: tunnel vision. Oh yeah, companion piece of the groove tube. Yeah, okay, yeah, absolutely,
Speaker 3: there's not an extra on this though, right and tunnel
Speaker 3: vision there really isn't.
Speaker 2: No there. Uh, there's a new interview with the co
Speaker 2: writer and code.
Speaker 3: Okay, that's cool, that's cool. Great.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm five minutes long, Jesus.
Speaker 3: I'm I'm I'm always I'm always rooting for M V
Speaker 3: d rewind I love I've loved so many of their releases.
Speaker 3: I know it's been hard Eric. Eric's a great guy,
Speaker 3: really cool dude, and I you know, I know it's
Speaker 3: getting harder for him to kind of get some of
Speaker 3: these extras and be able to afford to do them.
Speaker 3: And but I'm always rooting for them as a label,
Speaker 3: but uh so, I don't know. I'm certainly intrigued by
Speaker 3: this one.
Speaker 2: As usual, they're doing the whole limited slip cover thing.
Speaker 2: This one in the middle with the five day rent
Speaker 2: sticker is the slip cover. The A side of the
Speaker 2: rap is basically the savings the slipcover, but the B
Speaker 2: side that's where you get the better MVD art On
Speaker 2: this one, I think.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I'm a sucker for those like old stickers
Speaker 3: and stuff like.
Speaker 2: That, Like I love the way they make those.
Speaker 3: I love those. Yeah, I'm such a sucker for that stuff.
Speaker 3: But yeah, I mean, I hope that they are going
Speaker 3: to do well. I hope they were able to put
Speaker 3: more into some of these releases. But I really dig
Speaker 3: MVD for the most part.
Speaker 2: So here's the example from Cheerleaders, Well all weekend of
Speaker 2: the stickers they even look like half torn off.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I haven't gotten that one. I need to pick
Speaker 3: that one up. I think the last one I picked
Speaker 3: up was Joysticks. I think it might be one of
Speaker 3: the last ones. Yeah, yeah, which, I you know, really
Speaker 3: dig that movie and it's a lot of fun, you know,
Speaker 3: but it's I've kind of dipped out a little bit.
Speaker 3: I got to check them out and see what, see
Speaker 3: what I could pick up?
Speaker 2: Nothing wrong with that, totally get that all right? Just
Speaker 2: a few left and then we are done with announcements.
Speaker 2: Another piece from Variety to however, they shared the news
Speaker 2: of the Cloud Door. This is a brand new boutique
Speaker 2: label dedicated to bringing South Asian cinema to a global audience.
Speaker 2: This is film programmers from the UK named Omar Ahmed
Speaker 2: and Ranjeet s Rupri. The influential cult film Omdarbdar is
Speaker 2: going to be his first release from nineteen eighty eight.
Speaker 2: The launch of this label addresses a persistent void in
Speaker 2: the home video market, where South Asian cinema has been
Speaker 2: historically underserved by major distribution labels. Despite the continual growth
Speaker 2: of physical media and a dedicated fan base for Indian classics,
Speaker 2: many significant works from the region remain unavailable in high
Speaker 2: quality home video formats. Their initiative aims to remedy this gap,
Speaker 2: particularly focusing on cult classics and contemporary masterpieces that have
Speaker 2: long been sought after by collectors and centophiles. They're going
Speaker 2: to be focusing on classic and contemporary South Asian cinema
Speaker 2: with special attention paid to diasporic filmmakers from the UK
Speaker 2: and Canada. Each release will feature high def video and
Speaker 2: audio emphasizing cultural context and historical significance. They will be
Speaker 2: doing a Crown Funding campaign for pre orders for this
Speaker 2: first film, and the label will target an end of
Speaker 2: twenty twenty five ship date for that first release. Film
Speaker 2: clubs will have access to screening licenses at discounted rates,
Speaker 2: furthering the label's mission a broader distribution for South Asian cinema.
Speaker 2: And I assume that they've got a lot of great titles.
Speaker 2: Of mind film programmers some of the best people to
Speaker 2: run labels. They've seen a lot of these films. They
Speaker 2: know how to choose things. The audience react to get
Speaker 2: buzz going about some of their stuff. But Indian cinema
Speaker 2: in particular is very difficult because people act excited about them,
Speaker 2: but a lot of people simply do not buy Indian
Speaker 2: Indonesian films. They are hard to sell on physical media.
Speaker 2: On top of that, they are expensive to license some
Speaker 2: of these. There's one recently that we were looking at
Speaker 2: with Terror Vision that we were really excited about getting
Speaker 2: and had some talks and then they re released the
Speaker 2: film in theaters and made a ship ton of money
Speaker 2: and suddenly went silent. So that's that's how stuff happens sometimes.
Speaker 2: And they think that they are they are deserving the
Speaker 2: world to put it out on blue reds. It's a
Speaker 2: very niche market.
Speaker 3: So yeah, that's unfortunate because Terror Vision's Shrigala. I love
Speaker 3: that desk, Oh my god, love that so much. Another
Speaker 3: it's another blind I did not put it to my stack,
Speaker 3: but that's another blind buy that I am so glad
Speaker 3: that I picked up.
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is exciting. I I am very, very curious
Speaker 2: to see what they have. I I do want to
Speaker 2: highlight if you are excited about this as well, make
Speaker 2: sure you're supporting us releases of the stuff too. The
Speaker 2: mind of Micabro Bollywood Cinema box Set is a remarkable achievement.
Speaker 2: Make sure you're getting stuff like that Getsrigala. Get some
Speaker 2: of the other Indonesian or Indian films that have been
Speaker 2: put out by some other boutiques. It's really difficult to
Speaker 2: uh to get some of them. But if you're worried
Speaker 2: about blind buying, uh they are They're almost always worth
Speaker 2: it for sure.
Speaker 3: This one sounds like a company that's trying to kind
Speaker 3: of go down the Radiance path a little bit.
Speaker 2: It seems like it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and if there are other labels that are seeing
Speaker 3: what Radiance are doing and going we should try to
Speaker 3: do something like that, then I say, I'll take a
Speaker 3: look and see what what it costs to help them out.
Speaker 3: You know, like that's that's certainly a great model to
Speaker 3: go through if they're going to follow stuff like Radiance
Speaker 3: or Deaf Crocodile one of those labels and want to
Speaker 3: do something what they're doing, Like, like, that's that that
Speaker 3: I'm intrigued.
Speaker 2: You know, you're trying to do with what they're doing
Speaker 2: with modern and cult classic. Imagine if like they have
Speaker 2: friends and they're like, hey, we can sign r R
Speaker 2: R and put out this incredible release that was amazing.
Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely, all right.
Speaker 2: Next, just a reminder please go vote in the shell
Speaker 2: Shock Rewind Awards. Voting is only open for eight more days.
Speaker 2: And also keep in mind you can do the right

Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm excited. I already voted already, and now I'm like,
Speaker 3: I want to look back and see what I voted
Speaker 3: right away, like it was due that day. Now, on
Speaker 3: the flip side, I have not forgotten to do it,
Speaker 3: and so I'm not being reminded at this point of
Speaker 3: already that's true, So I have that at least. That's
Speaker 3: but I'm like, man, I should have taken a couple
Speaker 3: of days, you know, but oh.
Speaker 2: Well, done some research or something. Yeah, I get it.
Speaker 3: Well, No, I mean I knew a lot of the
Speaker 3: movies are right, so I mean it was pretty easy
Speaker 3: for me to fill out. But I should have just
Speaker 3: sat with it just a little bit and you know,
Speaker 3: I could have thought about it just a little bit longer.
Speaker 3: But oh well, at least I voted.
Speaker 2: Looking at the survey is always exciting, especially to see finally,
Speaker 2: who's who's nominated? All right, Last of the Week, we
Speaker 2: got some details in this film Noir the Dark Side.
Speaker 2: Have sent him a twenty five.
Speaker 3: I pre ordered this for you, Ryan. I think this
Speaker 3: is already He's nice. I'm sending this an Inspector Rex
Speaker 3: to your house. I know that that's what you hell.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Inspector Rex and five inspectors that probably have names
Speaker 2: like Rex. It'll be like Inspector texting in the Flame.
Speaker 2: So this is the the box set from Keno coming
Speaker 2: on April eighth of The Flame, City That Never Sleeps
Speaker 2: and Hell's half Acre. City That Never Sleeps is a
Speaker 2: twenty twenty four four K scan. The other two are
Speaker 2: from twenty seventeen four K scans. The Flame and Hell's
Speaker 2: half Acre both have commentaries by Syria Lit Midnight's own
Speaker 2: Heath Holland, and then City That Never Sleeps has a
Speaker 2: commentary by Imagen Sarah Smith. Incredible. She does a lot
Speaker 2: of stuff for Keena Lober if you don't know that,
Speaker 2: they're not Keno Lober for Criterion. She's great at what
Speaker 2: she does. Absolutely recommend her work.
Speaker 3: They're all from the same director. These ones. Yes, took
Speaker 3: them up and apparently some of them are pretty good.
Speaker 3: Probably The City that Never Sleeps is the one that
Speaker 3: was like the most highly rated. Yeah, that's the big one.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 3: I was like, well, that's interesting that they made it
Speaker 3: all about one director. That certainly is intriguing. I hope
Speaker 3: that they have some footage of old Vienna that they
Speaker 3: put in vintage footage of Vienna.
Speaker 2: From nineteen seventeen, forty five minutes long, and it's just
Speaker 2: it's not the city of Vienna. It's just dogs hang Vienna.
Speaker 3: Just as walking around close out, so you don't release
Speaker 3: too much of the city. By the way, Craig said
Speaker 3: that you may know this already, but he said in
Speaker 3: the chat that they're gonna do a set. It's multi
Speaker 3: film Indian set. I'm super excited about that too, so
Speaker 3: I didn't want that to go by. You may already
Speaker 3: know about it, but I didn't, So.
Speaker 2: I mean I did, but I was also gonna share
Speaker 2: after I brought that out the screen because I know
Speaker 2: in the podcast everybody listening you can't see this. Yeah,
Speaker 2: def Crocodile teasing our big box set this year is
Speaker 2: a multi film Indian set. It's gonna be first off,
Speaker 2: it's gonna be incredible, twenty twenty five altogether. Stuff they've
Speaker 2: announced already what we know is coming is pretty great.
Speaker 2: But a multi film Indian set from Deaf Crocodile that
Speaker 2: checks a lot of ass.
Speaker 3: I'm interested in that for sure, So thank you for
Speaker 3: sharing that. Craig that's awesome.
Speaker 2: As usual, after the announcements, we cover what's coming out
Speaker 2: next week, just in case you forgot and you want

Speaker 2: ever so slightly so that we can get stuff in
Speaker 2: over there. Shout of the Devil from Keno coming out
Speaker 2: as well.
Speaker 3: I think a lot of stuff.
Speaker 2: That was it. Yeah, for for the last week in January.
Speaker 2: It's still quite a bit. And Tarzan so Antaro Old
Speaker 2: Adventures of Tarzan already and shops exciting, exciting, exciting. All right,
Speaker 2: that's the announcements and now now the fun part of
Speaker 2: the discussion always is what are we gonna share? What
Speaker 2: are these prizes? Line Bys? Why do you blind bys? Right?
Speaker 3: I think it's exciting when you're buying stuff and you're
Speaker 3: just like, I don't know what this movie is, and
Speaker 3: you you know, and you know, and then you get
Speaker 3: one that you didn't know anything about and you now
Speaker 3: have this incredible movie that you now love and I
Speaker 3: wish this happened every single time. Doesn't always, but you know,
Speaker 3: you get to watch this movie and you're like, oh
Speaker 3: my god, I bought I'm so happy I did it.
Speaker 3: I think there's some extra joy not only when you
Speaker 3: get the rush of when those movies show up at
Speaker 3: your door, but also like when you watch them and
Speaker 3: you're like, I was so right on this being absolutely
Speaker 3: my kind of movie, And I think there's just a
Speaker 3: lot of joy in that. And outside of that, I
Speaker 3: think it's expanding a lot of you know, what I've
Speaker 3: seen and what I've taken a look at, and and
Speaker 3: so I think that there's a part of that that
Speaker 3: I that I love and blind bying and and you know,
Speaker 3: just seeing some of the films that that you know
Speaker 3: get restored and get released that you wouldn't be able
Speaker 3: to watch in any other way like But but mainly
Speaker 3: it's just like finding really good movies that I hadn't
Speaker 3: seen before, and now I have copies that I can
Speaker 3: watch whenever I want to. So that's that's the joy
Speaker 3: of it for me.
Speaker 2: What about you, Well, I love them because, as I
Speaker 2: alluded to earlier, I've not seen most movies when I
Speaker 2: was younger, and I've shared this on here before. I
Speaker 2: grew up in such a small town in California that
Speaker 2: we only had like the super mainstream stuff, and you know,
Speaker 2: being I don't know when I was when I was
Speaker 2: renting stuff without my family, it was already like two
Speaker 2: thousand and four to two thousand and six, and by then,
Speaker 2: like the nineteen eighty five stuff is out of date,
Speaker 2: and so it's not the stuff that they're pushing or anything.
Speaker 2: So I'm still catching up on like most of this stuff,
Speaker 2: A lot of the classic stuff that people have seen. Hell,
Speaker 2: a lot of the like more mainstream Scream Factory releases
Speaker 2: that have come out. Those were the first time I
Speaker 2: saw a lot of those films was on Scream Factory.
Speaker 2: The ten that I chose for us to cover tonight
Speaker 2: are that I don't talk about much on the show,
Speaker 2: but there was like five that I held in my
Speaker 2: hand from Screen Factory that I was like, well, this
Speaker 2: was like one of the best blind buys I've ever had,
Speaker 2: something like Ravenous, where Ravenous is a masterpiece, and if
Speaker 2: I wouldn't have got that Screen Factory disc, I probably
Speaker 2: never would have seen it. But I've talked about Ravenus
Speaker 2: on the show probably twenty times, so I have it.
Speaker 3: Like right up here. It's in my stack of like
Speaker 3: go to because you and I were talking about this
Speaker 3: and I still have yet to put it in, but
Speaker 3: I have it right there so I can be like, Okay,
Speaker 3: as soon as I get a chance, I'm putting Rabics
Speaker 3: in there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's so good. There's lots of titles that screen
Speaker 2: Factory put out that aren't great, but I'm so glad
Speaker 2: that I bought them because they they're I usually call
Speaker 2: them like Zeitgeist films. They're reference points for people for
Speaker 2: stuff like improv or you know, just conversation pieces that
Speaker 2: people have as touchstones for their lives. But one of
Speaker 2: the questions that I know is likely to come up
Speaker 2: in the chat, because this always does when people discuss
Speaker 2: blind buys. How do you approach blind biys? Are they
Speaker 2: true blind buys where you don't know anything but like
Speaker 2: the copy the label puts out, or are you I'm
Speaker 2: gonna go read reviews, watch a trailer, and do seven
Speaker 2: other pieces of research to determine that I want a
Speaker 2: blind by it.
Speaker 3: I think I started out just as blind as you
Speaker 3: can be, being like this looks interesting. I wouldn't even
Speaker 3: look at trailers, and I was like, this looks interesting
Speaker 3: I'm buying it, but you know, fool me once and
Speaker 3: all that you're like, you go a couple couple that
Speaker 3: you're like, maybe it should just just take just a
Speaker 3: slightly deeper look. But I don't go too deep into
Speaker 3: the film. I want to just I want this to
Speaker 3: be a surprise and so and with Keino, a lot
Speaker 3: of that is I don't I'm just sort of grabbing
Speaker 3: stuff because those sales are insane. But but but yeah,
Speaker 3: mostly with the Blind Biys, I just kind of want
Speaker 3: to look at it. I'll look it up on letterbox.
Speaker 3: I'll just kind of see how people sort of take
Speaker 3: the temperature of the people that I'm following, like what
Speaker 3: are they thinking? Which is always tricky because you're gonna
Speaker 3: have like five star review use and two star reviews,
Speaker 3: so you're like, okay, so you have to kind of
Speaker 3: do that math in your head and see like, well,
Speaker 3: what do I think I would dig on this? But
Speaker 3: largely it's like is it a story I like? Or
Speaker 3: is there a director or a writer or is there
Speaker 3: an actor or is there something that I want to see?
Speaker 3: What are the extras like? But I'm I'm kind of like,
Speaker 3: just give me this stuff. And if I don't know it.
Speaker 3: I want to see it, so and if it just
Speaker 3: hits me in whatever way, even sometimes if it's just
Speaker 3: the art, I'll just you know, I put in the
Speaker 3: cart and I'll go if I can afford it, you know,
Speaker 3: so send or ask you. That's a good call. That's
Speaker 3: a good call.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I get a bunch of people that ask me,
Speaker 2: what's funny is I? I don't know. I guess I
Speaker 2: have an internal system for blind boys. I think there
Speaker 2: is certainly a a curatorial trust, which makes that sound
Speaker 2: much fancier than it actually is. But with like deaf crocodile,
Speaker 2: Manda mac criterion to a point, and a couple others,
Speaker 2: I know that if I blind by this, I'm at
Speaker 2: least not going to be disappointed. There are other.
Speaker 3: Labels well, learning about labels, learning about labels, and then
Speaker 3: you can like then trust that they have kind of
Speaker 3: curated it for you. That's to me the best way
Speaker 3: of like right fully go in and blind like there's
Speaker 3: almost nothing that I'm going to know about some of
Speaker 3: the modern macabra stuff or some of the crocodile stuff
Speaker 3: that I'm just like, I don't know. I'll just buy it.
Speaker 3: I'll figure it out later. I don't know some of it.
Speaker 3: I just don't know any of this stuff, you know.
Speaker 2: So I think Craig said that earlier in the chat
Speaker 2: is they pretty much rely on blind buyers because dev
Speaker 2: Crocodile is only grabbing stuff that most people have never
Speaker 2: heard of. There are also other labels that I have
Speaker 2: done that where I bought without trailers or anything other
Speaker 2: than like a cover art and a piece of copy,
Speaker 2: and they've totally let me down. And now it's like,
Speaker 2: ooh oh, now I know for this label, I'm gonna
Speaker 2: always do a lot of research on. And then there's
Speaker 2: this final piece which you alluded to. I've noticed psychologically,
Speaker 2: blind buying is definitely affected by price. If it is,
Speaker 2: if it's seven or eight dollars, that's blind by fodder.
Speaker 2: I know that even if it's even if it's garbage,
Speaker 2: I'm not going to be disappointed that I paid seven
Speaker 2: dollars for a title.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like less than going to a movie, you know.
Speaker 3: And so you're like, well, i'd go see a movie
Speaker 3: and be disappointed. This is like less than that, you know, exactly.
Speaker 3: So yeah, so ice point is big, But like I said,
Speaker 3: I did, I have blind bought some pretty expensive items
Speaker 3: that sometimes I was happy and sometimes there wasn't you know,
Speaker 3: that's just part of it.
Speaker 2: There's definitely a couple labels that even the price point
Speaker 2: has psychologically tricked me into some that I went, oh boy,
Speaker 2: probably not going to do that one again. Looking at
Speaker 2: USRS Cinema and Wild Eye, there's certain titles that I
Speaker 2: should never have had my collection, but thank you. Uh.
Speaker 2: The fact that I paid two dollars for that still
Speaker 2: makes me feel like you owe me money.
Speaker 3: And that's the thing. Like it's something that my wife
Speaker 3: doesn't really understand because I have like all this stuff
Speaker 3: up here, but I also have like a bin of
Speaker 3: stuff that I bought and I'm going through and it's
Speaker 3: like this thing is like constant curation. I'm finding the
Speaker 3: stuff that I really like and I enjoy and I
Speaker 3: want to watch again, and I'm into, you know, like
Speaker 3: and and you know, so I'm buying lots of stuff
Speaker 3: that sometimes I know it, sometimes I don't know it
Speaker 3: at all, and I'll watch it and I'm either gonna
Speaker 3: dig it and put it up here or I'm not
Speaker 3: going to like it and I'll send somebody else that
Speaker 3: will or whatever, and so yeah, it's like it's like
Speaker 3: a curation process. But my wife's like, boy, we sure
Speaker 3: have a whole lot of movies around here. So but yeah,
Speaker 3: and I'm like yep, yep. And other times she's okay
Speaker 3: with it, and then she gets She got mad at
Speaker 3: me the other day because I don't own conn Air.
Speaker 2: Blame Disney fucking idiots, I know.
Speaker 3: And I was like, well, I mean, I there is
Speaker 3: an old blu ray of it. I can go get somewhere.
Speaker 3: But I'm like, I've kind of been holding out hoping
Speaker 3: somebody could wrestle that away and put out a four
Speaker 3: K of con Air because you know, but she's just like,
Speaker 3: we have all these movies and we don't have con Air.
Speaker 3: What's the point? Like fair, it's fair, it's a fair criticism.
Speaker 3: That is true.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I will say, can highlight Matthew's comment here. Thrift
Speaker 2: stores gold mine for budget blind buys. Yeah, absolutely, yeah, great,
Speaker 2: those those in like yard sales really great places to find,
Speaker 2: you know, all blue rays for two bucks and you'll
Speaker 2: see something like I would never watch it for two dollars.
Speaker 2: That's pretty great.
Speaker 3: I got a bunch of staff on out of yard sale.
Speaker 3: A couple of years ago around the corner from us. Yeah,
Speaker 3: and I got like they were all a dollar. I
Speaker 3: got the whole Space series on DVD dollar. I was like,
Speaker 3: holy crap, Yeah, that's incredible call. Oh yeah, and I
Speaker 3: was so jazz to get that.
Speaker 2: Similar shouting out Hamilton Books. I know that they what
Speaker 2: is the best way to say this? They have fallen
Speaker 2: from their peak for sure, back in yeah, we'll say
Speaker 2: twenty twenty one and twenty twenty two, when they were
Speaker 2: getting every single month out of print stuff that you
Speaker 2: could buy for five bucks. And now it's like, oh,
Speaker 2: this title is eight dollars compared to fifteen everywhere else.
Speaker 2: But that's still great. And you can't really fight with
Speaker 2: four dollars shipping, and that's all they ever charge is
Speaker 2: pretty great.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I have a two hundred dollars cart currently at
Speaker 3: the moment that I'm curating and figuring out what I'm
Speaker 3: going to order. But there's still a good place to
Speaker 3: get stuff.
Speaker 2: Absolutely, all right, let's get into some of them.
Speaker 3: It's good, O Craig, some.
Speaker 2: Of our titles, sir. Let's go with your first one.
Speaker 2: What do you got for us?
Speaker 3: First one? I told you, I think I told you.
Speaker 3: I was going to pick this one, so nail gun massacre.
Speaker 3: Speaking of terror vision. I had not seen this, had
Speaker 3: no idea. I had a couple of the movies that
Speaker 3: I was interested in, and I threw this one and
Speaker 3: into the last second. So four K was a little
Speaker 3: bit more expensive, but I was like, I don't know,
Speaker 3: this just looks like something I'd probably be into. And
Speaker 3: I was so right. This movie is great. I so
Speaker 3: loved it. I appreciate it. I'd loved your commentary. But
Speaker 3: on top of that, I just dug the movie. The
Speaker 3: movie is super fun. It's super fun, and I was like,
Speaker 3: this is totally my jam. I totally love this. I
Speaker 3: tried my best to get it on the shelf's shop forwards. Tried,
Speaker 3: like crazy, this is such an upgrade, I know, even
Speaker 3: though I didn't know the movie before, and I just
Speaker 3: thought this was stellar, disc so good. So glad I
Speaker 3: have this.
Speaker 2: There are there's so many things about that movie that
Speaker 2: I love. I will say as who I think this
Speaker 2: was either our first or second commentary that Will and
Speaker 2: I ever recorded together. I do wish that we could
Speaker 2: go back and redo it again now, but there is
Speaker 2: the most awkward intro ever would they're the Literally the
Speaker 2: film starts and there's a gang rape happening, and Will
Speaker 2: and I on on Mike literally say, usually we'd introduce
Speaker 2: ourselves right now. However, we are starting with a brutal
Speaker 2: gang rape on screen, and uh yeah, that's a way
Speaker 2: to I I apologize in advance for using this phrase,
Speaker 2: but it's a weird way to pop your commentary.
Speaker 3: It is. Yeah, I don't know what it is. I've
Speaker 3: you know, dug so deeply into the seventies exploitation that
Speaker 3: like a scene like that, I'm like, yep, it's just
Speaker 3: one of those things. It's like it's a barrier of
Speaker 3: entry you just have to get. It's not never gonna
Speaker 3: be my favorite scene in any movie, but okay, there
Speaker 3: it is.
Speaker 2: I'll share something with you off off camera about the
Speaker 2: one of the interviews for that that.
Speaker 3: Okay, okay, a lot of awesome, awesome.
Speaker 2: I did my best. I think I stuck to it
Speaker 2: to choose only one title from every label, so I
Speaker 2: wanted to cover ten different labels to share that I
Speaker 2: was going all across the board and go into some
Speaker 2: that I don't ever talk about enough. And so first one,
Speaker 2: this is a label that is kind of No More,
Speaker 2: but also maybe doing BDRs again, but also probably not
Speaker 2: because Sony just bought them. Draft Pass Films put out
Speaker 2: gosh I forty forty two forty three movie something like
Speaker 2: that back in the day used to be able to
Speaker 2: buy these inventing machines at all the Alamo draft houses.
Speaker 2: And the film from their lineup, well, I should probably caveat.
Speaker 2: Waken Fright is probably the best film they put out.
Speaker 2: But the film that took me the most that I
Speaker 2: blind bought from them is this movie called I Declare War.
Speaker 3: Seen.
Speaker 2: I Declare War is a brilliant film from twenty twelve
Speaker 2: about a bunch of like twelve and thirteen year olds
Speaker 2: that go into this field by their home and they
Speaker 2: are imagining having a war together other but what we
Speaker 2: see is all of the real weapons and blood and
Speaker 2: everything like they're actually having the war. And it is
Speaker 2: shot in the most like Gooney's Adventure type of exciting
Speaker 2: point of view from a kid's angle. It is really
Speaker 2: well acted for something like this. The effects are genuinely
Speaker 2: great for a very low budget film. This movie captivated
Speaker 2: me from start to finish. Loved this thing. I've rewatched
Speaker 2: this a couple of times, totally worth it, lots of
Speaker 2: bonus features, to multiple audio commentaries which you don't get
Speaker 2: a lot of the time, even though nail Gunmaster not
Speaker 2: student our own horn. But I think we got three
Speaker 2: or four commentaries on there.
Speaker 3: Yeah, at two of them are new commentaries on that
Speaker 3: disc Coact this disc. It's unbelievable.
Speaker 2: I declare War is amazing. Everybody should check it out.
Speaker 2: And yes, Simon are saying, what about the invitation? I
Speaker 2: love the Invitation, It's really great, but this one was
Speaker 2: a little more impressive on the everything side of it.
Speaker 2: Like the Invitation is probably a better film, but I
Speaker 2: think this was the better blind by I expected the
Speaker 2: Invitation to be great.
Speaker 3: M that sounds right. Is that still available?
Speaker 2: Do you know? Or? Uh? Not exactly, but it's not.
Speaker 2: It's not expensive, like you should be able to find
Speaker 2: it for less than thirty bucks seconds.
Speaker 3: Okay, for the most part, I tried to check and
Speaker 3: see if they were available. The disc that I picked
Speaker 3: and I'm looking at I don't think I picked anything
Speaker 3: from the same label, but I wasn't doing that on purpose,
Speaker 3: but I did it anyway. But that said, I don't
Speaker 3: know if Nailgun Masaker is available but I think I
Speaker 3: missing okay, so the next one. I love this label too.
Speaker 3: This is a total blind by city for me on
Speaker 3: this label because I don't know half the stuff they
Speaker 3: put out. But this is one of my favorite movies
Speaker 3: to come out of the past few years. And that's
Speaker 3: n beyond the infinite two minutes. Third Window just does
Speaker 3: some great work and they're just putting out so many cool,
Speaker 3: interesting films that I've never heard of, and this movie rules.
Speaker 3: It's super short. It is one of those sort of
Speaker 3: time travel movies where they sort of find that they
Speaker 3: can go backward. They can basically go two minutes basically
Speaker 3: in time, and that's basically what it is. I don't
Speaker 3: want to say anymore. It is just a delightful movie,
Speaker 3: really fun funny. It's done on a low budget. It's
Speaker 3: almost a single location. Incredible the amount of work when
Speaker 3: you see like what they have figured out how to do,
Speaker 3: and it's almost one of those that's also cut into
Speaker 3: like one cut or made to look like one thing,
Speaker 3: and it's just a great movie. I really love this
Speaker 3: film and I did not know about it, hadn't heard
Speaker 3: of it. Bought it so happy I have it.
Speaker 2: Very very charming, movie, I would say.
Speaker 3: Yes, oh, incredibly yeah, the whole also super interesting, super fun,
Speaker 3: and it's just a really fun, great movie.
Speaker 2: Shout out the writer and director. The same team put
Speaker 2: together River, which was also released Third Window also released
Speaker 2: by Great Face, the parent company of Terror Vision. Very
Speaker 2: similar plot to a point, but a massively different film.
Speaker 2: Absolutely great.
Speaker 3: I have that release. I just have yet to watch it,
Speaker 3: but I have.
Speaker 2: It's a good one. My next one is just like
Speaker 2: Third Window, a UK company that does not get enough love.
Speaker 2: They put out some of the best films of all time,
Speaker 2: literally and they seem to get overshadowed by everything. So
Speaker 2: really wanted to make sure that I got something from
Speaker 2: the BFI here. BFI is quality forward that they're putting out.
Speaker 2: Chronos four K I'm extremely excited about. They just put
Speaker 2: out the better version, you know, arguably of seven Samurai
Speaker 2: four K criterions is different, not necessarily better or worse,
Speaker 2: but just for some people. If you're at seven Samurai diehard,
Speaker 2: you you might want both. This release was also released
Speaker 2: by Criterion. This is the vastly superior version of the
Speaker 2: film Targets, which has a big tide to Roger Corman,
Speaker 2: and one that I grabbed because I wanted to talk
Speaker 2: about it with my buddy. Here Targets is a masterpiece.
Speaker 2: Look at that great covers on both. I think both
Speaker 2: are equally incredible pieces of ours.
Speaker 3: I got the Blu ray on the sale, but then
Speaker 3: I saw this one and I was like, damn it,
Speaker 3: so was the wrong one. Damn it.
Speaker 2: Those that don't know this is Boris Karloff starring in
Speaker 2: a story essentially about Boris Karloff, an old, aging horror
Speaker 2: Halloween Hollywood actor, and essentially Corman had some I think
Speaker 2: it was like two days worth of filming that they
Speaker 2: could do with Karloff that he or that he owed him,
Speaker 2: and a bunch of footage from another film, and so
Speaker 2: Bogdanovic built this film together with essentially no budget and
Speaker 2: two days with Karloff and created a masterpiece. This is
Speaker 2: a story, like I said, about Carloff aging out of
Speaker 2: the Hollywood system, while at the same time there's a
Speaker 2: sniper shooting people in a highway in southern California, and
Speaker 2: then those two stories converge and it is extremely relevant
Speaker 2: to today. It is a shocking film, a beautiful movie,
Speaker 2: really well shot for what they were doing, and again
Speaker 2: like a testament for what you could do with the
Speaker 2: Roger Corman Film School, and I this is the type
Speaker 2: of thing that makes me love movies with a capital M.
Speaker 2: There it is such a feat of storytelling and of
Speaker 2: like literally saying we have fourteen cents, what can you do?
Speaker 2: And somehow it's one of the most compelling pieces of
Speaker 2: all time. That being said, not necessarily to put Criterion down,
Speaker 2: but this release, the Criterion could never have a new
Speaker 2: special features block that is that size this release. New
Speaker 2: restoration supervised by Bogdanovich. Audio commentary by Bogdanovich from two
Speaker 2: thousand and three, New commentary by Peter Tongett. An introduction
Speaker 2: by Peter Bogdanovitch from two thousand and three. Hitting Targets
Speaker 2: on her father Boris Karloff from twenty twenty two, done
Speaker 2: by Sarah Karloff. A forty minute interview on target Boris
Speaker 2: Karloff in the nineteen sixties. A seventeen minute Stephen Jacob's
Speaker 2: featurette on this Gentleman of Horror from twenty twenty three.
Speaker 2: A visual essay on Boris Karloff by the BFI's Vic Pratt.
Speaker 2: The Guardian interview with Peter Bogdanovich for forty two minutes.
Speaker 2: Another Guardian interview with Roger Corbyn that's sixty four minutes.
Speaker 2: Then we've got let's see trailers from Hell Joe Dante
Speaker 2: on Targets from twenty thirteen, and then newly commissioned sleeve
Speaker 2: and then of course on top of all that, a
Speaker 2: hefty booklet, like a really well sized booklet. This release
Speaker 2: on release was cheaper to purchase in the US than
Speaker 2: the Criterion release and it is better on every single level.
Speaker 3: You're gonna make me double dip on targets, especially when
Speaker 3: we get to our Bogdanovic series. But also shouts to
Speaker 3: poly Platt, who is at least has experts of an
Speaker 3: interview on the Criterion and was instrumental to Bogdanovich's career.
Speaker 3: But yeah, he owed Karmen a couple of days, but
Speaker 3: he did stick around for a little bit extra because
Speaker 3: he think he liked Bogdanovitch and Platte as well. They
Speaker 3: were all friendly and doug what they were doing, so
Speaker 3: he put in just a little bit of extra time.
Speaker 3: But yeah, Corman just saw something in Bogdanovich. He had
Speaker 3: done a little bit of script work and I think
Speaker 3: he'd done some second unit for one of his movies,
Speaker 3: I think The Young Racers, and so, you know, really
Speaker 3: gave Bogdanavis a chance. And this is what he did
Speaker 3: throughout his career. He gave people a chance. He didn't
Speaker 3: give you much money, but he was like, you can
Speaker 3: do what you want. He also didn't put a lot
Speaker 3: of control on you until sometimes he got into the
Speaker 3: end room, and then he sometimes liked to, you know,
Speaker 3: do what he wanted to do sometimes but uh, or
Speaker 3: request that you reshoot yes, and ad nudity. Yes. But
Speaker 3: you know what, Barbara Peaters, I'm so sorry he did
Speaker 3: that to you. But Humanoids from the Deep is a classic,
Speaker 3: and you know, I apologize. I know that wasn't the
Speaker 3: film you wanted to make, but but yeah, so it
Speaker 3: targets great choice. I totally would have to pick that
Speaker 3: one up. That's it's awesome. So it's I love it,
Speaker 3: so great.
Speaker 2: Job Next for you.
Speaker 3: The one for me is one I had not even
Speaker 3: heard of. It's a label that I don't I think
Speaker 3: they've only put out a couple releases. This is from
Speaker 3: Whole Grain Pictures. This is a movie called Too Much Sleep.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, they've only done I think too even.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I just heard about this on a podcast.
Speaker 3: That's how I heard about it, and I was just
Speaker 3: I think it was base Street video and they started
Speaker 3: talking about it and they said it was kind of
Speaker 3: Hell Hartley esque. I was like, okay, you have my attention.
Speaker 3: I mean behind me you can't see, but I have
Speaker 3: some directors sections here on my collection. This is my
Speaker 3: Hal Hartley area. A huge fan of Hal Hartley. I
Speaker 3: was like, okay, give me some early or you know,
Speaker 3: give me some nineties indie. This is sort of a
Speaker 3: nineties indie version, I like to say, of Stray Dog,
Speaker 3: because this is about a security guard who gets on
Speaker 3: a bus and while he's talking to some girl, his
Speaker 3: gun is stolen and then he has to track down
Speaker 3: this gun. It is I totally love this movie. This
Speaker 3: became Not only is this a great disc, it's definitely
Speaker 3: one of my discoveries of the year. This is essentially
Speaker 3: lost until this release came out. People do not know
Speaker 3: about this movie. It played a couple of festivals, it disappeared,
Speaker 3: and now is being brought back for this So I
Speaker 3: completely dug this film. This is another one of those
Speaker 3: things of I mean, this is maybe not as Blind
Speaker 3: just because I heard people talking about it but I
Speaker 3: had never seen it, knew nothing about it. I just
Speaker 3: immediately purchased it and totally dig this film. This is
Speaker 3: absolutely worthy purchase. I'm not sure what else Whole Grains
Speaker 3: put out yet, but I'm definitely trying to keep a
Speaker 3: tab on them. So too much sleep good call.
Speaker 2: That was on my want to buy list eventually, and
Speaker 2: honestly forgot about it. I need to go go make
Speaker 2: sure that it's still on the list. It's that's certainly interesting.
Speaker 2: There's also what was it called shelf Life that just
Speaker 2: got released was another it was another like lost film. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: that's a similar vein I got from this film that
Speaker 2: was like, oh my god, we finally found it and
Speaker 2: we need to get it out there.
Speaker 3: And it's and it's got a great commentary there too,
Speaker 3: with the director and the actor and they kind of
Speaker 3: like both semi kind of moved on with their careers
Speaker 3: and it's a little bit heartbreaking because you're like, this
Speaker 3: is a great movie, yeah, and it just got lost
Speaker 3: in the shuffle and it happens, you know, and what
Speaker 3: you know, what could have happened to their careers if
Speaker 3: this hadn't gotten lost. You know, Yeah, it's a bummer,
Speaker 3: but I'm glad that we have that release.
Speaker 2: My third title is from Aero Video, and arrow has
Speaker 2: put out you know, literally hundreds and hundreds of titles
Speaker 2: at this point for the last yep, gosh, sixteen seventeen years. Technically,
Speaker 2: lots of stuff. I blind bought through them, but nothing
Speaker 2: has hit me and lasted longer as the one I'm
Speaker 2: about to talk about. This is a twenty twenty film,
Speaker 2: and I really wanted to highlight how they lift up
Speaker 2: indie films. So many people still talk about how Arrows
Speaker 2: just turned mainstream. All they do is stuff like, you know,
Speaker 2: nothing against what you share tonight. I love the more
Speaker 2: mainstream stuff that they've put out. In fact, I've got
Speaker 2: that exact same release within arms length. But they're still
Speaker 2: putting out stuff like not the Hell Razor set, the
Speaker 2: other one that narc is the big example. Yeah, and
Speaker 2: then of course the Saloon just lost the title of it.
Speaker 2: Three Seashells.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I'm demolition man.
Speaker 2: Demolition man, I want to say dread and I'm like
Speaker 2: Ronx brong salone. They still do that obviously. I mean
Speaker 2: we're getting stuff that they've announced that are crazy big titles.
Speaker 2: Some of my favorite releases for them are like Tremors,
Speaker 2: one of my favorite movies of all time. But then
Speaker 2: these indies, like I just mentioned there you go, Uh,
Speaker 2: they're still doing stuff that people have never heard of.
Speaker 2: And this film was on that list for me. And uh.
Speaker 2: It is the film Dinner in America, Adam Ray Meers
Speaker 2: Kyle Gallener starring Emily Skegg's punk rock film that is
Speaker 2: all about uh, sticking it to the man in every
Speaker 2: way possible. This movie is start to finish through and
Speaker 2: through one of the best movies of the last decade.
Speaker 2: Kyle Gowner is incredible, Emily Skeggs is awkward beyond belief
Speaker 2: and is exactly what this film needed. This movie is
Speaker 2: about Kyle Gowner running from the police and accidentally running
Speaker 2: Emily Skeggs and then come to find out that she
Speaker 2: is essentially the biggest fan of him, and she doesn't
Speaker 2: know that she is because he always wears a mask.
Speaker 2: And they make a beautiful song together and the film
Speaker 2: mens And I'm leaving out a lot of stuff because
Speaker 2: this movie is charming beyond belief and you need to
Speaker 2: see it. This was also only a UK released it
Speaker 2: is I believe either out of print or very hard
Speaker 2: to find. Now we need a US release of this.
Speaker 2: Somebody out there needs to put it out. I believe
Speaker 2: this would do well on four K. It was a
Speaker 2: very pretty film. I don't think it was shot on
Speaker 2: I don't think it was shot on film. However, it
Speaker 2: was finished in four K. I believe so could do
Speaker 2: well on four K, lots of colors. Great release. We're
Speaker 2: talking commentary with everybody on this that you could want.
Speaker 2: Fantasia International Film Festival, livestream, Q and A that they did.
Speaker 2: It was during COVID, so it wasn't in person. There
Speaker 2: is some interviews, trailer's image gallery, lots of stuff on this.
Speaker 2: This movie is genuinely a masterpiece, but also this is
Speaker 2: probably the last time that he's going to be like
Speaker 2: a small time director. Snackchat came out in twenty twenty
Speaker 2: four and it's also a masterpiece. Come to find out,
Speaker 2: he is an incredible director that finds out dude crazy
Speaker 2: talent to put on like these these small Midwestern stories
Speaker 2: that mean so much to people that feel genuinely lived
Speaker 2: in with characters like in Dinner in America, Mary Lynn
Speaker 2: Riiskub plays the mom of Emily Skeggs, and it's she's
Speaker 2: so awkwardly perfect for Emily Skeggs. I don't know. You
Speaker 2: gotta watch Dinner in America. I could talk about her
Speaker 2: for the next two hours at Adam I I really
Speaker 2: do it. He's got a huge career.
Speaker 3: I love Snackshack is definitely one of my faves of
Speaker 3: the year, and I really need to see this. Kyle
Speaker 3: Gallner has had a wildly good year. He was in
Speaker 3: one of my favorite movies of the year, Strange Darling.
Speaker 3: Absolutely adore him in that, but also really good in
Speaker 3: this other one that I thought was pretty good called
Speaker 3: The Passenger. Yeah you saw that one yet it's a
Speaker 3: pretty it's pretty good. That's worth checking out. Obviously, smile too.
Speaker 3: He's he's in but he's having a moment and he's
Speaker 3: really good, really good.
Speaker 2: Seven years and he's always great.
Speaker 3: Yeah, for sure, for sure, I've been I've been in
Speaker 3: on him since we hot American summers, so I mean
Speaker 3: I've been there from the beginning when he was just
Speaker 3: when his when his buddy got drowned and he was
Speaker 3: thrown out of a van, you know, I mean, I've
Speaker 3: been into him since then and always been following his career.
Speaker 3: So my next one is also from aer Nice, and
Speaker 3: that's because I love I love getting their box sets,
Speaker 3: and i love Giallo films, and I'm a big Gallo fan.
Speaker 3: And that's a lot of blind buying playing stuff because
Speaker 3: you just don't know what you're gonna get. You're gonna
Speaker 3: get some good ones, You're gonna get some. But this
Speaker 3: one is a part of one of their sets. You
Speaker 3: can also get it on its own, but I got
Speaker 3: it in a set, and I'm talking about the fifth chord,
Speaker 3: which is one of the most beautifully shot. It's from
Speaker 3: the Red Gallo set.
Speaker 2: Okay, that's right. I sold my I sold my standalone
Speaker 2: to get the Red Box, That's right.
Speaker 3: So this is Luigi Bizzoni who became like this that
Speaker 3: set me off on a road of buying blind buying
Speaker 3: his other movies because I really dig him as a director.
Speaker 3: He was friends with Uh why am I getting the
Speaker 3: name of the main guy, frank Goneiro. They were like
Speaker 3: buddies growing up, so they did a couple other movies
Speaker 3: together and he just basically got him because I think
Speaker 3: Franko Nair at this point was still around the time
Speaker 3: had had Jango or not, I'm not sure, but he
Speaker 3: just they were buddies. So he was like, sure, I'll
Speaker 3: do this movie with you because we've been friends for
Speaker 3: a long time. On top of that, it's shot by
Speaker 3: Victoria Strara, who won the Academy Award for the Last
Speaker 3: Emperor and shot Apocalypse Now and is just one of
Speaker 3: the you know, bird with the crystal plumage reds. Like
Speaker 3: the guy has got a stellar filmography and this just
Speaker 3: looks beautiful if you know, story wise, there's a killer
Speaker 3: in the LUs that guy's looking for him.
Speaker 2: You get it.
Speaker 3: It's a gialla but like, the way this looks is
Speaker 3: unbelievable and almost unrivaled in Giallo cinema. So would highly
Speaker 3: recommend the Fifth Chord if you can grab it, not
Speaker 3: in the set, if you want to get it on
Speaker 3: its own, just pick it up.
Speaker 2: Lots of names associated with this one, a lot.
Speaker 3: Of big names, like it's it's really interesting to find
Speaker 3: out that they all kind of knew each other and
Speaker 3: they're all kind of friendly, and then they just had
Speaker 3: these amazing careers. It's just crazy.
Speaker 2: Yeah that I mean, honestly, that's for me, at least
Speaker 2: one of the more exciting parts about blind buying, and
Speaker 2: especially for somebody that loves New World pictures, is you're
Speaker 2: essentially like networking in a way. You're creating like this,
Speaker 2: this storytelling spider web of this connects to this, which
Speaker 2: inspired this, and connects to this right and suddenly you've
Speaker 2: watched you know, four Corman films but also like four
Speaker 2: indie filmmakers from the nineties and went, whoa, like I
Speaker 2: can see certain scenes out of these, and oh this
Speaker 2: actor was in both of these, and that's a great time.
Speaker 2: It's so great.
Speaker 3: Yeah. So the Web of New World, it's like I
Speaker 3: still am like amazed, Like, yeah, it's crazy, that's amazing. Crag. Yeah,
Speaker 3: Sterararo is just he is just one of the absolute
Speaker 3: best to ever do it, and still working, I believe.
Speaker 3: I think he's still making movies. I think he works
Speaker 3: a lot with Woody Allen at this point, but workers work.
Speaker 2: Yeah. We've mentioned Monta micabre Good three or four times tonight.
Speaker 2: I had to bring at least one from them, and
Speaker 2: I think the first one that got me was the fan.
Speaker 2: I've talked about that on the show quite a bit,
Speaker 2: but this one I mentioned and went pretty deep into
Speaker 2: on the monda Micabre podcast fairly recently wild Side go
Speaker 2: subscribe over there, but really wanted to spend some time
Speaker 2: here with a nineteen seventy seven Mexican film called Al Jukarta,
Speaker 2: which is a masterpiece. This movie is so so good
Speaker 2: in every single way. It is a Mexican religious folk
Speaker 2: core tale of screaming. Is maybe the best way to
Speaker 2: say that if you if you don't do well with
Speaker 2: screaming in films, you probably should ever watch this. There's
Speaker 2: a lot of screaming in this movie. But this movie
Speaker 2: I really wanted to highlight here because, as I talked
Speaker 2: about on the Manda Macabre podcast, they when they made
Speaker 2: this movie, you expect films like this to have like
Speaker 2: the trope filled exorcism scene and maybe like a nun
Speaker 2: scene where oh she's getting her top, if we had
Speaker 2: to do that, eh, This movie actually displays like all
Speaker 2: of these like truly like religious rights that they practice
Speaker 2: and all these traditions displayed in this as something completely
Speaker 2: different that you just don't see with many other films.
Speaker 2: This movie is about a friendship between two young girls
Speaker 2: that you expect to go places, and it goes completely
Speaker 2: different places. It's a very bloody movie. It's a very
Speaker 2: iconic imagery filled film, very on par with Like the Devils. Obviously,
Speaker 2: we tied this with Satanico Pandemonium for multiple reasons, and
Speaker 2: that's similar. It's got a lot of visual aspects and
Speaker 2: names that have been attached to a lot of things
Speaker 2: like some mahayak It's It's truly a great, great movie.
Speaker 2: It's very bloody. The imagery in this, like I said, incredible.
Speaker 2: I'm not sure how good this is gonna show it,
Speaker 2: but there's like this goat headed creature that's covered in hair.
Speaker 2: If you've never seen Ali Karda. I don't know that
Speaker 2: it's gonna get a blu ray because supposedly there's problems
Speaker 2: finding the elements. This is like a twenty one year
Speaker 2: old Monda Micabro DVD that still looks amazing. The only
Speaker 2: bad thing I can say about this is they screwed
Speaker 2: up when they originally released this and printed the wrong year.
Speaker 2: It's nineteen seventy seven not seventy five. But what we'll
Speaker 2: give Pete and Jared a pass for that. It's an
Speaker 2: amazing movie. Everybody should watch it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's one I have looked at and almost bought
Speaker 3: several times, and I just haven't pulled the trigger on yet.
Speaker 3: And now I'm clearly going to so because that sounds amazing,
Speaker 3: and so I definitely had to pick that up. That's
Speaker 3: one of those that maybe I think I've heard other
Speaker 3: people talk about, along with like Lady Terminator, which are
Speaker 3: like seminal releases from Manda that you just must have.
Speaker 2: You know, absolutely. U Sivenar wants to know if I
Speaker 2: have every red Mondo case. I think I do for
Speaker 2: all the Blu rays, I think I'm still missing a
Speaker 2: handful of DVDs, but I mean I don't know if
Speaker 2: I need all the DVDs. Hopefully a lot of those
Speaker 2: DVDs get picked up by the labels for Blu rays.
Speaker 2: That'd be nice.
Speaker 3: My next one, I'm going to Grindhouse. This is a
Speaker 3: movie that I probably should have seen a long time ago,
Speaker 3: but I finally got The Big Gun down. I love
Speaker 3: spaghetti westerns. They are just like candy to me. I
Speaker 3: just just for them. But this one is one of those.
Speaker 3: It's like when people are like, what's a really good
Speaker 3: legendary spaghetti Western, I'm like, The Big Gun Down. I
Speaker 3: actually saw the sequel, which is run band Run, which
Speaker 3: essentially is only a sequel in the character that Thomas
Speaker 3: Million plays in this movie, and I saw that first,
Speaker 3: which is odd to come out this at this level.
Speaker 3: But Sergio Salima is the director. He's a pretty good
Speaker 3: directory director. One of my favorite Charles Bronson movies, which
Speaker 3: is Violent City, Uh, and he this is He didn't
Speaker 3: do many spaghetti westerns, but this one is excellent. And
Speaker 3: as always with Grindhouse, they just have, you know, a booklet,
Speaker 3: the disc, you get the whole soundtrack, you get all
Speaker 3: the extras. Like when they put out something like you
Speaker 3: just buy I just buy it, like I just you know,
Speaker 3: when they're putting something out, I buy it. I just watched.
Speaker 3: I didn't say it earlier, but I just watched Hollywood
Speaker 3: Nine Years Wild, and I watched it and I was like, okay,
Speaker 3: and everyone talks about the ending show. I was like, okay,
Speaker 3: well let's see. And then you get to the ending
Speaker 3: shot and you're like, yeah, no, everyone's right, everyone's correct
Speaker 3: like whatever people were saying, yeah, one hundred percent, and
Speaker 3: it's just like it does recontextualize the whole film. I
Speaker 3: rewounded several times. I was like, what they just the
Speaker 3: whole thing blew my mind. So like anytime Grindhouse puts
Speaker 3: something out, they should. I picked this up and I
Speaker 3: think some kind of sale. I highly recommend this release.
Speaker 3: It's excellent. It's a really really good film. On top
Speaker 3: of being a fun spaghetti western, it's just a really
Speaker 3: good movie.
Speaker 2: For those that don't have much from Grindhouse releasing a
Speaker 2: little bit of insider knowledge for what they do, they
Speaker 2: lean heavily on the like we're putting out this limited
Speaker 2: release of X title and it has uh, you know.
Speaker 2: An example of one that they've done, Hollywood nine Double
Speaker 2: two eight had a limited slip cover. The one before
Speaker 2: that had a key chain. They've done the bullet pen
Speaker 2: for one of their releases. They'll go all in on
Speaker 2: this is limited, you have to get it now, and
Speaker 2: then release everything but that little chotchki for the next
Speaker 2: nine years. So if they announced something, don't feel bad.
Speaker 2: They're still putting out like Cannibal Holocaust with the CD
Speaker 2: and that was released like eleven years ago or something.
Speaker 2: So many of these they they will make you feel fomo.
Speaker 2: There is no need. You can certainly wait on these.
Speaker 2: They straight titles.
Speaker 3: But I would just say, like if they're having a sale,
Speaker 3: jump on it, jump on it and grab a couple
Speaker 3: of them. And because they definitely like they don't release tons,
Speaker 3: but when they release something, it's you should get it
Speaker 3: because no matter what, it's a very good release.
Speaker 2: So yeah, I agree. This next one might be a
Speaker 2: little bit of a weird, vulnerable pick, so I'm gonna
Speaker 2: explain why, and apologies in advance of people don't care
Speaker 2: to know any of this. This is a fairly recent
Speaker 2: from a label that I love ran by Elijah Drenner,
Speaker 2: whos been on the show before he runs to Canalog.
Speaker 2: And this is a twenty nineteen Spanish film called Amigo.
Speaker 2: This was just released early twenty four, twenty twenty three,
Speaker 2: I think. And this movie is a I don't even
Speaker 2: know what Jonner to put on it now that I'm
Speaker 2: speaking out loud thriller ish, I guess it's not really
Speaker 2: a horror movie. Essentially, this is about a gentleman that
Speaker 2: you can see on the front here and his close friend.
Speaker 2: One of them is in a car accident that kills
Speaker 2: his wife and the friend is not hurt at all,
Speaker 2: but the gentleman is left bedridden. He can't do much
Speaker 2: of anything by himself, some weird things start happening that
Speaker 2: can't be explained. But a lot of this film just
Speaker 2: is the relationship between these two people, one of them
Speaker 2: feeling guilty and trying to help him, but also the
Speaker 2: one that's needing help is a frickin giant man. We're
Speaker 2: talking like a foot and a half taller than the friend.
Speaker 2: Getting him in and out of the bath is a chore.
Speaker 2: It is literally dangerous. It is something that you know,
Speaker 2: literally difficult to do, and to put yourself through that
Speaker 2: as a caretaker, it's not easy in any semblance of
Speaker 2: the word. And as somebody that is six foot five
Speaker 2: that weighs more than everybody in my house combined, I
Speaker 2: fear for a lot of stuff for this. So this
Speaker 2: movie hit close to home in a lot of different ways.
Speaker 2: As somebody that literally just bought his first pair of
Speaker 2: shoes in five years this week because I wear a
Speaker 2: size eighteen shoe and it's very difficult to buy shoes.
Speaker 2: I see how much size and intimidating people can change
Speaker 2: your perspective on things. So this movie just hard to watch.
Speaker 2: There's a lot of awkward situations, there's a lot of
Speaker 2: we'll say stuff set up to give you anxiety and
Speaker 2: it really works. I think this movie is a bit
Speaker 2: of a modern low budget masterpiece for what it pulls off.
Speaker 2: Very happy with this. The Canalog has put out some
Speaker 2: stuff that I never expected to get a good release,
Speaker 2: and this movie is a gem in their catalog. It
Speaker 2: is so so good and I feel like it was
Speaker 2: slept on Amigo twenty nineteen Spanish film. Very very good.
Speaker 3: Yeah that I'd seen that cover and I hadn't. I hadn't.
Speaker 3: That's why I saw that cover and I was like,
Speaker 3: I know that one, but I didn't pick that one up.
Speaker 3: So now I'll be checking that one out to Cantalog.
Speaker 3: It's an interesting label. They really do like a wide
Speaker 3: variety of stuff, which I kind of love, you know,
Speaker 3: like they really do run the gamut on stuff. But
Speaker 3: I really dig that about them, all right. My next
Speaker 3: one is from a different label. This is from Massacre Video.
Speaker 3: This is Maha Call, which I note. I looked and
Speaker 3: I was like, do they still have this available? You
Speaker 3: can't get the slipcover, but you can't get the movie
Speaker 3: itself off their website, and you can get for a
Speaker 3: very low price that I was like, well, that's not
Speaker 3: what I spent on this movie. But okay, but it
Speaker 3: doesn't matter, because what matters is the movie. This is
Speaker 3: a like Bollywood rip off of Nightmare and Elm Street
Speaker 3: that also has some great songs and broad comedy and
Speaker 3: it is a lot of fun. And by a lot,
Speaker 3: I mean a lot because it's long, like a lot
Speaker 3: of Bollywood movies, well over two hours, but this is
Speaker 3: such a blast and it definitely rips off like it
Speaker 3: rips off Nightmare and Elm Street. Like not just so,
Speaker 3: but I saw this and I was like, I really again,
Speaker 3: this is one of those that early on I think
Speaker 3: I bought and I was like, that's a lot of
Speaker 3: money to spend on this movie. I don't even know,
Speaker 3: but I just pulled the trigger and I'm so glad
Speaker 3: I did because I just I adore this movie. It's crazy,
Speaker 3: it's wild, and it's definitely it's worth checking out. You
Speaker 3: have to square some time apart to be able to
Speaker 3: see it because it's long, but it's worth your time.
Speaker 2: Maha Call is very fun and very bad and so
Speaker 2: worth the money. Yeah, it's great.
Speaker 3: It's literally ten bucks right now if you want to
Speaker 3: get it off Master video. It was ten dollars, so
Speaker 3: I'm like, that's not what I spent. But the point
Speaker 3: is go get the movie and it's a lot of
Speaker 3: fun to watch, so that's what's important.
Speaker 2: So this next one, I got this original release Blu
Speaker 2: Ray when it first came out from a label that
Speaker 2: most of us know in Love and I have met
Speaker 2: Tom Savigni in person twice, and I got this film
Speaker 2: after I met him for the first time, before I
Speaker 2: met him for the second time, and went, you know,
Speaker 2: now that I've seen this movie, I need him to
Speaker 2: autograph this copy. And when I brought it to him
Speaker 2: to autograph, he literally went and that movie is effects
Speaker 2: that was released by AGFA. They're ah the Savinia autograph
Speaker 2: on the front. I had never seen this as amazing,
Speaker 2: but with this cover and with the first line mentioning
Speaker 2: George a Romero, I never even finished reading the copy
Speaker 2: I purchased. It turns out George a Romero pretty much
Speaker 2: had nothing to do with it. It was just his
Speaker 2: crew hanging out. But I adore this movie. This movie
Speaker 2: is so damn good. When you get a bunch of
Speaker 2: people that are essentially in between films and they're like,
Speaker 2: let's make a movie about making a movie, and somehow
Speaker 2: there's a killer and it turns out into effects and
Speaker 2: everybody that's in it is just super comfortable with each
Speaker 2: other because of everything they're already doing together. This movie
Speaker 2: is great, truly, truly cree for what it was trying
Speaker 2: to do, and some of the shots they pull off
Speaker 2: on this are so much better than like mainstream films,
Speaker 2: big budget films that were coming out around the same time.
Speaker 3: Was that just his crew just deciding to go ahead
Speaker 3: and go make a movie after they finished it?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Literally? Uh. Cobbled Together with Loose Change by George A.
Speaker 2: Romero's Friends is the first time. It's so good. It
Speaker 2: was just like a DIY, like a weekend film that
Speaker 2: they put together. It's incredible.
Speaker 3: That's amazing. That's amazing. It reminded me of again watching
Speaker 3: that King Cohen documentary. Yeah, Yes, Coldon I do love. Yes,
Speaker 3: the transfer is great.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 3: The uh. When he was on Eye the Jury, which
Speaker 3: I almost picked as a blind by but was fired
Speaker 3: off of it the next day, he started shooting Q
Speaker 3: just and then he made sure that he could shoot
Speaker 3: Q before they finished Eye of the Jury, so he
Speaker 3: could just finish a movie before they finished the movie.
Speaker 3: He was fired off of that is wild, So that's awesome.
Speaker 3: I'd like to check that out. I need to check
Speaker 3: out effects. I'm going to Severn. I was asked to
Speaker 3: talk about this movie on a podcast v HUS If
Speaker 3: anyone hasn't checked that out, it's a great podcast, and
Speaker 3: I had so much fun talking about this particular movie.
Speaker 3: I'm talking Carnival Magic. I was asked to talk about
Speaker 3: this so seven was having to sale. I bought it
Speaker 3: and this movie is insane. I will mention one of
Speaker 3: the great parts of this disc is that it actually
Speaker 3: goes through some of the restoration what they had to do.
Speaker 3: This movie was like garbage before they found it was
Speaker 3: such a mess. And it's I think the second to
Speaker 3: last movie that al Adamson made. It's essentially a movie
Speaker 3: for kids, but it's about a very sad carnival and
Speaker 3: this monkey one guy.
Speaker 2: I love that you don't mention the word monkey before that,
Speaker 2: and you just go into.
Speaker 3: The carnival is so sad. Everyone there is miserable. Bad
Speaker 3: things are happening on top of it. If that isn't
Speaker 3: fun enough for you, this is, by the way, I
Speaker 3: should remind you a film he intended for children. The
Speaker 3: monkey has a voice that just simply shouldn't be coming
Speaker 3: out of a monkey's mouth. And it's such a choice.
Speaker 3: This movie is a lot of choices. It does not
Speaker 3: have great reviews on letterbox. Almost everyone universally hates this movie.
Speaker 3: I think this movie is an absolute blast. I'm not
Speaker 3: gonna say it's a great film, but it is an
Speaker 3: absolute blast. And thank you Cinder. Yeah, and he hits
Speaker 3: that Carnival. I appreciate that. And there's a commentary you
Speaker 3: get to see how they put this movie together. I
Speaker 3: think this movie is a must own. It's I think
Speaker 3: it's so fun, so Carnival magic.
Speaker 2: What's going on? Wave? I don't remember. Did seven put
Speaker 2: the seven Kids branding on the spine of that one?
Speaker 3: I believe so yes, Umm oh maybe not. Yeah, it's
Speaker 3: on the back. It's on the back. Nice you get
Speaker 3: seven kids. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I didn't pick a seven title, which is kind of
Speaker 2: weird for me. I probably should have. There's been a
Speaker 2: bunch from them that I've loved.
Speaker 3: If you would ask me, like tomorrow to look through
Speaker 3: all the blind buys, I would have probably had a totally.
Speaker 2: Differ, entirely different ten stack.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I when we first started talking about this, other than
Speaker 2: wanting to choose some new world titles. The first thing
Speaker 2: I thought of, I could just pull like seven stacks
Speaker 2: of ten titles from Keno Lorber only just list everything
Speaker 2: from them. But I knew that I needed to have
Speaker 2: one and the one that I keep going back to
Speaker 2: when people say, what is the first Keno Luber title
Speaker 2: that you bought that you didn't see before that really
Speaker 2: stuck with you, This is that one for me, and
Speaker 2: I got it years ago. And you'll see because this
Speaker 2: is one of their like first slip cases that they did.
Speaker 2: This is a beautiful movie. I'll just show it now.
Speaker 2: A girl walks home alone at night. For those that
Speaker 2: have ever seen this, they classify this as an Iranian
Speaker 2: what do they say on here? Iranian vampire Western uh?
Speaker 3: And it is such a good movie, dude.
Speaker 2: I just want to talk about the style behind this movie.
Speaker 3: It is such a fucking good movie, dude.
Speaker 2: Beautiful to look at. And then they have like this
Speaker 2: Iranian score of like buzzy guitars and synth rock that
Speaker 2: is so good throughout the entire movie that you were
Speaker 2: swept up in every aspect of this movie. It's a beautiful,
Speaker 2: beautiful movie.
Speaker 3: When she goes in and plays the record like this
Speaker 3: just skates. I mean, I was like, I'm so in
Speaker 3: on this. Yeah, maybe that's the Southern California kid in me,
Speaker 3: but like I was like, hell, yes, dude, I didn't
Speaker 3: get the Slop cover, but I got this again on
Speaker 3: one of their sales, and I was like, how come
Speaker 3: people aren't talking about this? Y movie is absolutely amazing.
Speaker 2: And literally every single frame of this movie is one
Speaker 2: that you could posit and like point out different aspects
Speaker 2: that you should be taught in film school from this movie.
Speaker 3: Yeah, beautiful, beautiful film. Such a great choice, amazing choice.
Speaker 3: I yeah, hugely into this movie. I think it's so good.
Speaker 2: Matthew says a roddy vampire western, that old cliche. Yeah,
Speaker 2: that's the thing I love about so many of these things,
Speaker 2: like you don't hear you don't hear that combination ever
Speaker 2: other than this one movie. So yeah, it absolutely needs
Speaker 2: to be mentioned here.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's that old drope. You've seen one, You've seen
Speaker 3: them all, funny enough, that is true. This is one
Speaker 3: that I double checked. This is actually one from Vinigar Syndrome,
Speaker 3: and this is one I checked and I wanted to
Speaker 3: this double check to see if this was sold out
Speaker 3: or not, and this you can still get the slip.
Speaker 3: I know that they put this on subscriber week and
Speaker 3: they had this one out, and I don't don't understand
Speaker 3: why more people don't own Alien Private Eye. I adore
Speaker 3: this movie. This is look the title says it all.
Speaker 3: He's an alien. This is the hat he wears to
Speaker 3: cover up his spot ears because he's an alien and
Speaker 3: he's a private eye. Why well, in the movie he says,
Speaker 3: so he can meet people. That's why he's a private eye.
Speaker 2: Inspector Rex would be proud Inspector Rex.
Speaker 3: Oh God, if they could do an alien private Eye
Speaker 3: Inspector Rex together. I just my brother and I both
Speaker 3: got this one, and I think we talked about it
Speaker 3: on our podcast. We just absolutely adored this movie. It
Speaker 3: is so so wild. There's a character in here who
Speaker 3: does a choice to do a voice of an older actor.
Speaker 3: It's such a weird, crazy choice. The guy who directed it,
Speaker 3: I think he ended up doing a TV show and
Speaker 3: he is I'm trying to remember the name of the
Speaker 3: sh It's a TV show where like a guy gets
Speaker 3: the newspaper and it's like prophetically says, like, what's gonna
Speaker 3: happen in the future every day anyway. And so the
Speaker 3: interview though with him, and this is why I love
Speaker 3: these releases and why I love physical media. The interview
Speaker 3: with him is he's so earnest and he's so so
Speaker 3: excited that people are finding this movie and putting it out. Yeah,
Speaker 3: and it like I already loved it and was like,
Speaker 3: this movie is wild and I love it. And then
Speaker 3: he's just like so enthusiastic and so thrilled that people
Speaker 3: are putting it out. I was like, early edition, thank you,
Speaker 3: sidmir and and Ron I think is ron r One
Speaker 3: Ronnie Ronnie? Sorry Ronnie, and so Ronnie the winner of
Speaker 3: the contest yep.
Speaker 1: And so.
Speaker 3: He's just he's he charred me even more. Like just
Speaker 3: listening to that interview, I was like, like, I'd love
Speaker 3: this movie. This movie is just so great, and he
Speaker 3: was so thrilled that people were into it. And I'm
Speaker 3: just shocked that this still has as a slip on
Speaker 3: their site. It's have you seen this?
Speaker 2: I haven't, shamefully, Oh.
Speaker 3: No, everyone's sleeping on this one. And I'm just like
Speaker 3: this one. And stealing Lace was another one that people
Speaker 3: were sleeping. Lace was good, ever and I love stealing lace.
Speaker 3: Any lady Cyborg movie. I'm pretty much on percent in
Speaker 3: on so, but yeah, I can't believe.
Speaker 2: That, uh, second time we've done this Tonight though, I'm
Speaker 2: going to talk about the same label. Uh. One of
Speaker 2: the first Vinegar Syndrome titles that I ever purchased from them,
Speaker 2: that I sat down with and watched because it was
Speaker 2: so intriguing on their standard art. And then they put
Speaker 2: out the slipcover years later, like they did on many
Speaker 2: of them, this one is still available and one that
Speaker 2: I would say is like one of the five or
Speaker 2: eight quintessential Vinegar Syndrome titles before they sort of went
Speaker 2: super mainstream Vinegar Syndrome. So like the classic Vinegar Syndrome,
Speaker 2: this is one that everybody should own if you're into
Speaker 2: that style. And uh, I adore nineteen seventy one's telephone Book.
Speaker 2: This movie is a rated X film that is about
Speaker 2: a see beautiful standard art on that it is so intriguing.
Speaker 2: The Telephone Book is about a woman that falls in
Speaker 2: love with an obscene collar and goes on a quest
Speaker 2: to try to find him, and on her quest she
Speaker 2: runs upon just a menagerie of characters that you will
Speaker 2: find hilarious and odd and eccentric and every other emotion
Speaker 2: that you could dream of. But my favorite thing is,
Speaker 2: as many people know that watch the show, I adore animation,
Speaker 2: and this movie's in black and white except for a
Speaker 2: starkly colored animated sequence in this that is beautiful. This
Speaker 2: whole thing is a masterpiece of cinematography. But that animated sequence,
Speaker 2: I was like, literally jaw dropped. How is this not
Speaker 2: discussed day to day as one of the most monumental
Speaker 2: pieces of work ever. This movie is astonishingly made. It
Speaker 2: is hilarious, like genuinely laugh out loud funny in many,
Speaker 2: many parts of this movie. It is the like the
Speaker 2: classic vinegar syndrome. This is clearly an adult film, but
Speaker 2: everybody that is put off by that title should really
Speaker 2: still buy it because it's one of the best films
Speaker 2: they've ever released. If you have not seen it, it
Speaker 2: is a must.
Speaker 3: I just got this, and got this like one of
Speaker 3: their last sales. I don't know if it was the
Speaker 3: Black Friday or what, but this is a brand new one.
Speaker 3: I have not cracked into it. The reason I picked
Speaker 3: it up is Nelson Lyon, who directed it, worked at SNL,
Speaker 3: wrote for SNL, I believe at some point, and we
Speaker 3: have heard his name countless times with people we've interviewed,
Speaker 3: particularly people that worked at New World after Roger Corman
Speaker 3: sold the company, and he was a copywriter and wrote
Speaker 3: copy for a lot of the you know, trailers and stuff.
Speaker 3: So how it worked with the trailer departs is that
Speaker 3: they had copywriters that would talk to the studios and
Speaker 3: they come back and one of the interviews we have
Speaker 3: just this past year with two of the trailer editors,
Speaker 3: Dave Parker and Kevin Sewilson, they were just like he
Speaker 3: would write these wild copies that essentially were like almost
Speaker 3: daring you to watch this stupid movie. He you know,
Speaker 3: and Reform school Girls I think is one of his
Speaker 3: I believe he wrote the copy for the Godzilla nineteen
Speaker 3: eighty five trailer, which won an award. Like, Nelson Lyon
Speaker 3: is like just a name we constantly hear, and he
Speaker 3: was a friend of Andy Warhol's. He was just a
Speaker 3: wild character. So I was like, I didn't realize this
Speaker 3: was his film. I was like, holy shit, I have
Speaker 3: to get this movie and watch it. I have yet
Speaker 3: to watch it, but I was like, Nelson Lyon is
Speaker 3: like just this guy we continue to hear about. He's
Speaker 3: just a revered figure at New World.
Speaker 2: So I hope you love it. It is literally wonderfully directed,
Speaker 2: like a master class of filmmaking.
Speaker 3: Yes, I also wave. I'd like that. You said, I
Speaker 3: see Alien, Private Eye and Steel and Lace every sale
Speaker 3: for like three years. You're on percent right. It totally is.
Speaker 3: They have been trying to offload these movies, and I'm like,
Speaker 3: why aren't people buying? These are good movies. I don't
Speaker 3: know why people are Yeah, oh well, uh is it
Speaker 3: my turn? Yes?
Speaker 2: Your turn?
Speaker 3: Okay. So had not seen this but had heard of it,
Speaker 3: and I went and got eighty eight Films version of
Speaker 3: Ricky Story of Ricky. What a movie this is?
Speaker 1: This?
Speaker 3: I mean, if you haven't seen Story of Ricky, you
Speaker 3: just need to go see it. It is set in
Speaker 3: a prison. Ricky oh is put into prison and hijinksk
Speaker 3: if you just see some of the stuff in the back.
Speaker 3: I mean, holy crap, this movie. That guy who he
Speaker 3: fights at the end, I mean, this is just an
Speaker 3: absolutely stellar movie. And this eighty Films release, I really
Speaker 3: really dug this release. It's got a little booklet with
Speaker 3: it as well, and I just I've shown this to friends.
Speaker 3: I love this movie. It is fantastic and I had
Speaker 3: not seen it before and I cannot I highly. I
Speaker 3: can't recommend it highly enough. So Ricky O.
Speaker 2: Story of Ricky We need a good US release of
Speaker 2: Ricky O. I fear for my friends that are not
Speaker 2: region free and have not been able to pick this
Speaker 2: up because it is so so good for those that
Speaker 2: don't know. A German company just released a media book
Speaker 2: of the story of Ricky on four K. That being said,
Speaker 2: it's not a fully up and up release, I don't think,
Speaker 2: but hey, it's Ricky Oh on four K and it
Speaker 2: looks wild.
Speaker 3: It's such a crazy, wonderful movie. It's I won't say
Speaker 3: anything about it because I just don't want to spoil it.
Speaker 3: I mean, so many scenes run through my mind, but
Speaker 3: I'm like, I just you just need to see Ricky Oh.
Speaker 3: If you haven't seen it, you need to watch it.
Speaker 2: I don't know if you saw I burst out laughing
Speaker 2: the moment you said he goes to prison and hijinks
Speaker 2: and it's such a funny way to explain this movie.
Speaker 3: I can't I don't want it. It's like, how do
Speaker 3: I don't want to say anything that would spoil this movie.
Speaker 3: I mean I went in as blind as can be.
Speaker 3: I knew I'd heard it was a wild movie, and
Speaker 3: then you see it and you're like, Okay, that is
Speaker 3: wild and ways I never thought And so I don't
Speaker 3: want to say anything that would tip you know what
Speaker 3: the movie is. Just go see it. If you have.
Speaker 2: Practical effects carried out immaculately.
Speaker 3: Yes, that's a good point. Yeah, it's really terrific. Special
Speaker 3: practical effects for sure, and good fight scenes.
Speaker 2: Very oh god, the ram scene. Okay, this is one
Speaker 2: I never got to see when I was younger. It
Speaker 2: did not get to continue playing on TV. This is
Speaker 2: a made for TV movie put out by Warner Archive,
Speaker 2: and after hearing its uh how did for years I
Speaker 2: was worried that finally watching it it was going to
Speaker 2: feel less than but man, I was truly creeped out
Speaker 2: and loved and will recommend forever the Warner Archive release
Speaker 2: of Bad Ronald. This movie is so damn crazy. Ronald
Speaker 2: pictured here on the cover, accidentally kills somebody and not
Speaker 2: a spoiler happens in the first like two and a
Speaker 2: half minutes of the movie, and his mom chastises him
Speaker 2: and then tells him to hide from the cops in
Speaker 2: their pantry, and then wallpapers over the pantry and moves
Speaker 2: and Ronald just kind of terrorizes people that live there
Speaker 2: in so many different ways. This movie is crazy, and
Speaker 2: it's so weird because it has to be very briskly
Speaker 2: paced because it's a seventy four minute movie. It's acted beautifully,
Speaker 2: but also just a crazy story to tell in a
Speaker 2: made for TV movie ever, Just chilling at home watching
Speaker 2: this lunatic crawl out of a pantry and steal food
Speaker 2: from people. Love this movie if you've never seen it.
Speaker 2: One of the best made for TV movies of all time.
Speaker 3: It is so damn I'm say I made for TV movie.
Speaker 3: And that's one that I have not picked up, and
Speaker 3: I need to pick up. But and I should remember
Speaker 3: it because I there. There's not many Warmer archived sales anymore,
Speaker 3: but no, I used to grab stuff all the time
Speaker 3: when they had those sales. That's how I got Scarecrow
Speaker 3: and a bunch of their other stuff. But I yeah,
Speaker 3: bad Renald never quite made the cut when I was
Speaker 3: buying stuff from those sales. And but I need to
Speaker 3: pick that one up. Is that your last one you
Speaker 3: have one.
Speaker 2: I got one more after your more so.
Speaker 3: Last, but but not Lisa, not really that I had
Speaker 3: any order at all. But so this is an odd
Speaker 3: one to end on, I suppose in a way. But
Speaker 3: from etr Commando Ninja.
Speaker 2: Is it's such a fun movie.
Speaker 3: It's so fun. It is an mashup of like so
Speaker 3: many things, but mainly Commando and American Ninja and a
Speaker 3: lot of like a lot of like cannon films kind
Speaker 3: of stuff.
Speaker 2: But Andy is a big one too.
Speaker 3: Andy Sedaris a Jurassic Park is part of it. It's
Speaker 3: it's a it's what you were talking about earlier with effects.
Speaker 3: Is this movie where this French kid basically is like
Speaker 3: making this movie like in his backyard with like fifty cents,
Speaker 3: and it's so much fun and it's made with a
Speaker 3: ton of love. It's like an hour long, it's very short.
Speaker 3: The music is fantastic in it that he uses very
Speaker 3: retro sort of electronic score. But it's just a blast.
Speaker 3: And this guy clearly loves these movies. It's homage to
Speaker 3: that entire era of movies and that entire video store
Speaker 3: experience of going to see that stuff made by somebody
Speaker 3: who probably missed out a little bit on that era,
Speaker 3: but loves it anyway, And I just adore this movie.
Speaker 3: It's so good. Her two friends as well, and well,
Speaker 3: what's the difference? They're often pretty surprising, but but yeah,
Speaker 3: this this one, I just absolutely I love Commando Ninja.
Speaker 3: I mean, it has its tongue firmly planted in his
Speaker 3: cheek the entire way through, and I love that about it.
Speaker 2: I also think, and I'm not sure if you know
Speaker 2: more than me, I believe the director was setting out
Speaker 2: to make a Commando Ninja too.
Speaker 3: I don't ever had heard, but I don't know what
Speaker 3: had happened with it. But yes, apparently he was going
Speaker 3: to make a sequel, and I hope he does. I
Speaker 3: really hope he does.
Speaker 2: All right, So again, maybe an odd definitely a weird
Speaker 2: tone change from Commando Ninja to this movie. Uh I.
Speaker 2: I kind of figured I probably should list at least
Speaker 2: one Criterion because there's so many of those that I
Speaker 2: have I have loved throughout the years, and uh, this
Speaker 2: is one that I watched fairly recently to to talk
Speaker 2: about for Imprint cast. Funny enough, I watched the film
Speaker 2: on this disc and then watched the extra from the
Speaker 2: Imprint disc, but had to go through and talk about
Speaker 2: my appreciation for one false move. Now, I know most
Speaker 2: of you have probably seen this, and this is this
Speaker 2: is an example of something that certainly not afraid to
Speaker 2: admit that I'm far late to a party that all
Speaker 2: of my friends have been at for a long time.
Speaker 2: This movie stars Bill You can see it here, Bill Paxton,
Speaker 2: Cindya Williams, Billy Bob Thornton, Michael Beach. Written by Billy
Speaker 2: Bob Thornton. In a really gross way, We'll say the
Speaker 2: movie is a crime thriller that starts in southern California
Speaker 2: and snakes its way all the way over to Arkansas.
Speaker 2: Some really great behind the scenes stories behind the making
Speaker 2: of this movie and the literal racism on display as
Speaker 2: they traveled further east in this film and in the
Speaker 2: production because as you do, they actually filmed in southern California,
Speaker 2: then New Mexico and Texas and Arkansas and brought the
Speaker 2: whole production everywhere and did an incredible job with it.
Speaker 2: Some of the best acting you'll see in film like this,
Speaker 2: which is from nineteen ninety two. Billy Bob Thornton very
Speaker 2: young in this and very not Billy Bob Thornton yet
Speaker 2: he's certainly the billy Bob Thornton that doesn't have money
Speaker 2: and is trying to give it as all, and boy
Speaker 2: does he in this film. But really, Bill Paxton is
Speaker 2: where this film shines. He's always incredible every single thing
Speaker 2: he has ever touched. I think I've loved Cindy Williams
Speaker 2: also just simply amazing in this movie. I don't love
Speaker 2: the ending of this film, but after hearing that this
Speaker 2: was just a good crime film for years, I sort
Speaker 2: of put it on the back burner. Is like not
Speaker 2: a priority to watch, Like, yeah, I've seen a bunch
Speaker 2: of crime movies. There'll be thousands of more. I'll get there.
Speaker 2: This movie is special. This deserves like a special night
Speaker 2: devoted to it. Reading the booklet that came with it
Speaker 2: is really great approach to this one. Again, the extras
Speaker 2: on like the actual racism that the production faced in
Speaker 2: bars after filming during the day and what they had
Speaker 2: to do to overcome that, literally getting business cards saying
Speaker 2: the KKK is here and you need to leave. Stuff
Speaker 2: like that is terrifying and more relevant than ever. Our
Speaker 2: country would never do anything racist nowadays, so thankfully I
Speaker 2: thought we are far past that. That's all in our
Speaker 2: rear view. But One False Move is incredible filmmaking, really
Speaker 2: great storytelling, like earnestly told from a writer that wants
Speaker 2: to be a writer's writer and delivers very unique characters
Speaker 2: in a way that a lot of scenes they subvert
Speaker 2: all of your expectations, things that you don't expect to happen,
Speaker 2: Like the highway scene is so well shot and just
Speaker 2: from from a filmmaking perspective of it's so dangerous, we
Speaker 2: would never do that, And suddenly they pull it off
Speaker 2: and you're like, fuck, okay, this film will do that.
Speaker 2: What can they do in the rest? And then the
Speaker 2: rest of the movie truly goes there like nine different times,
Speaker 2: and you're like, okay, we're all here for the ride,
Speaker 2: and it's a it's a great watch.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a great film. And there's nothing wrong with
Speaker 3: people getting to the movie. Now, if you weren't able
Speaker 3: to watch a movie like this in nineteen ninety one,
Speaker 3: that means you're probably not old like me. But in
Speaker 3: any case, that's that's no mark against anybody. I mean,
Speaker 3: I've loved watching people embrace this movie. I've loved this movie,
Speaker 3: but it is it is a it is everything you said.
Speaker 3: It's a great film. Carl Franklin, of course comes from Corman.
Speaker 3: You got to start with Roger Corman. Once Corman started
Speaker 3: his second company, his company after New World, we talked
Speaker 3: about one of his movies and and and that's how
Speaker 3: we got to start. But he's such a stellar filmmaker.
Speaker 3: He's so good. This movie is so well done. This
Speaker 3: and a simple plan as your Bill Paxton, Billy, Bob Thornton,
Speaker 3: double bill. That that he's just fantastic. And and I
Speaker 3: love this movie. I love a lot of Carl Franklin stuff.
Speaker 3: And yeah, I admit the ending isn't it doesn't quite
Speaker 3: pay off quite as well, which I think is why
Speaker 3: it's sort of like never quite got the love it deserved.
Speaker 3: Even at the time, I remember renting this and being
Speaker 3: blown away by it and being like, holy crap, this
Speaker 3: is why isn't anyone mentioned this? And and I picked
Speaker 3: up that disc as well from from Criterion because I
Speaker 3: was like, hell, yes, but you know again, everybody's been
Speaker 3: going crazy for Red Rock West again, a movie I
Speaker 3: saw back then too. But it's a great movie. John
Speaker 3: Dall did some great stuff. I was hooked into John
Speaker 3: Dall after after that movie and watched all his stuff
Speaker 3: and it's a great movie. Who cares if we're seeing
Speaker 3: it late. And what's great about it is that we're
Speaker 3: these these good movies don't go away, you know, they
Speaker 3: keep getting yeah, and they're getting reintroduced. I think that's
Speaker 3: a that's a win for the movies. So don't feel
Speaker 3: bad at all having missed.
Speaker 2: Honestly, we we just talked this on another podcast. It's
Speaker 2: a great time to watch Red Rock West also because
Speaker 2: it's it's quite Lynching. Actually, it's a lot of his
Speaker 2: you know, wild at heart type of films. It really
Speaker 2: feels like something Lynch could have directed.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there was like in that period, there was a
Speaker 3: little bit of that sort of neo noir. There was
Speaker 3: a bunch of stuff sort of happening around that time
Speaker 3: and indie film and others where they were starting to
Speaker 3: try to like, you know, do more of those sort
Speaker 3: of neo noir maybe somewhat westerny kind of things like
Speaker 3: wander Faalse Move And there's some great gems in that
Speaker 3: time period, and it's it's rife for people to kind
Speaker 3: of grab some of this stuff and and put them out.
Speaker 3: And I'm happy that they are I own two copies
Speaker 3: of Redrog West as a result.
Speaker 2: And they're both worth it. I mean they have exclusive commentary.
Speaker 3: Yeah, brother, Umbrella one that you want to listen to
Speaker 3: John Dall and you know, uh, and you want to
Speaker 3: watch the Cinematograph one because the transfer is just absolutely stunning.
Speaker 3: And I and I and I looked at both and
Speaker 3: compared them, and I was like, oh, there's no different,
Speaker 3: there's no comparing. The Cinematograph one looks amazing. So hotspots
Speaker 3: in there. Yes, another good one, last seduction another John
Speaker 3: John Doll one that's a great call sign there. There's
Speaker 3: one that even like Oliver Stone got into it. If
Speaker 3: anybody saw U turn yeah, which is not as good
Speaker 3: as some of the ones we've talked about, but still
Speaker 3: a wild one. I would I would check out somebody
Speaker 3: wanted to put that one out. You know, there's a
Speaker 3: lot of good stuff from that period.
Speaker 2: All that to say, uh, blind buys can really pay off.
Speaker 2: This has been a hell of a good night twenty
Speaker 2: no crossover. I didn't expect nossover, but twenty twenty different titles.
Speaker 2: We each had ten different labels. I went in fact,
Speaker 2: both of us went pretty across the board. With genres
Speaker 2: and actors, mainstream, deep cuts, all kinds of different types.
Speaker 2: Here you can find films that people can look at
Speaker 2: for like film school level and complete diy how did
Speaker 2: this ever get made? Type of films. Gosh, this has
Speaker 2: been This has been one of my favorite conversations for
Speaker 2: films like this. I mean being able to cover stuff
Speaker 2: that like this shows why we collect physical media and
Speaker 2: not exactly I probably shouldn't use the word collect there.
Speaker 2: This is why supporting physical media is important because many
Speaker 2: of these I never would have taken a chance on
Speaker 2: on streaming. I never would have made the point their algorithm,
Speaker 2: never would have made the point to feed them to me.
Speaker 2: I never would have got that response out of Tom Savini.
Speaker 2: All of these things happen because we're both willing to
Speaker 2: try something that we've never had before, and our backgrounds
Speaker 2: look like they do. Because we love this stuff, and
Speaker 2: if you love them as well, we hope you try
Speaker 2: some blind buys. There are many of these companies that
Speaker 2: rely on people to blind by purchases def Crocodile, Monda,
Speaker 2: Macabre Terror Vision, Vinegar Syndrome for a lot of their stuff.
Speaker 2: A lot of these partner labels and not just classic films.
Speaker 2: A lot of modern films rely on blind buys because
Speaker 2: twenty eight hundred people saw them in festivals across the world,
Speaker 2: and most of the time that's all that ever gets
Speaker 2: to see it. But fortunately some of them are rescued
Speaker 2: bioci and partner labels put out on Blu ray and
Speaker 2: now two thousand people might buy it with a slipcover
Speaker 2: and we hope that you watch it and we hope
Speaker 2: that you love it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I look at it like, you know, it's an investment,
Speaker 3: investing in film history. Like there's the way that some
Speaker 3: of these labels are trying to pitch out to collectors.
Speaker 3: They're trying to get collectors dollars, of course, but we're
Speaker 3: also preserving films. And there's so much actually out there
Speaker 3: that probably isn't going to even make the cut. And
Speaker 3: that's what's kind of sad but true. So many I
Speaker 3: think you were talking on another podcast about TV movies.
Speaker 3: There's so many TV movies that will never really see
Speaker 3: the light of day. There's so much stuff that we
Speaker 3: won't really get and streaming isn't going to do anything
Speaker 3: about it. These labels are the ones that are championing
Speaker 3: these films. Giving it special treatment, adding special features, giving
Speaker 3: you context because how many times, for me, how many
Speaker 3: times you watch a movie and you're like, I need
Speaker 3: to know what's going on with this movie, right, you know?
Speaker 3: And it's why I'm tracking down the producer and director
Speaker 3: of Tax Attack eighty seven because I'm like, what happened here?
Speaker 2: What is this?
Speaker 3: And so you know, that's what these things offer you.
Speaker 3: And that's why physical media has always been you know,
Speaker 3: has always been important to me, even before when it
Speaker 3: was VHS. I had VHS collection and then once STEVDS
Speaker 3: came in, it was like, holy crap, you can get
Speaker 3: the creators talking about it. This stuff's important. This stuff
Speaker 3: is about like learning about film and preserving film. It's
Speaker 3: an investment, you know. So you got to spend your
Speaker 3: money where you think it's best, and you want to
Speaker 3: buy stuff that you like and you love, but it's
Speaker 3: an investment. That's how I look at it. I mean,
Speaker 3: I don't I'm not always gonna love everything, but I
Speaker 3: don't worry about spending it on something I maybe don't
Speaker 3: love not because I'm like, well, I'll just turn it
Speaker 3: around and make a bunch of money on eBay or something.
Speaker 3: It's not about that, and that isn't true either. That
Speaker 3: isn't really true. It doesn't really happen. But it's an
Speaker 3: investment in these companies and investment in film preservation. And
Speaker 3: that's how I kind of look at.
Speaker 2: It, film preservation, restoration, archival. It's it's a lot in fact,
Speaker 2: the archival aspect. I got an interview finally going up
Speaker 2: the next week or so that I hope a lot
Speaker 2: of you appreciate because it really shows the love for
Speaker 2: what so many people are doing to keep these things relevant.
Speaker 2: And yeah, you said it best. The way that these
Speaker 2: are treated by most of the labels, it truly is
Speaker 2: like a passion project of we want this to last.
Speaker 2: And without without people like def Crocodile, many of these
Speaker 2: films would never be restored. They're literally languishing in film
Speaker 2: archives about to deteriorate beyond the point of restoration because
Speaker 2: they can't afford it, or they don't have time, or
Speaker 2: they rely on public funding and it's drying up, or
Speaker 2: you know, lots of these other reasons, and they rely
Speaker 2: on stuff like this to get it done. So not
Speaker 2: trying to pressure anybody to go spend money you don't
Speaker 2: have or anything, but if if you are you know,
Speaker 2: looking at a title, if you are considering spending you know,
Speaker 2: five hundred dollar or the next Vinderger Syndrome sale, maybe
Speaker 2: maybe spread a little bit of that love out There
Speaker 2: are lots of labels out there that are doing work
Speaker 2: film masters. Uh. You know, we've said a lot of
Speaker 2: the names tonight that are literally saving films that are
Speaker 2: on the verge of being gone forever.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I you were picking different labels on purpose.
Speaker 3: I picked different labels without even thinking about it. Like,
Speaker 3: there's so many labels. You have to diversify too, just
Speaker 3: to be like, there's so much good stuff out there.
Speaker 3: Definitely subscribe where you can too, because that helps those
Speaker 3: labels survive, so you know, if you can do that.
Speaker 3: But you know, yeah, I mean this was so fun.
Speaker 3: I'm so glad that you were into this topic. This
Speaker 3: was such a blast. I really got to, uh to
Speaker 3: buy some of these movies that you talked about. I
Speaker 3: definitely need to pick some up. But yeah, this this
Speaker 3: this comes down to the love of it, and we're
Speaker 3: in it for the love of it. You know the
Speaker 3: fact that there's new label sprouting up all the time.
Speaker 3: That makes me so happy, Like you know it's like that,
Speaker 3: you know that Tracy Let's conversation they had on the
Speaker 3: big picture. Yeah, Like I love that. He just said,
Speaker 3: like you just keep doing this buying stuff. He's like,
Speaker 3: this is the only way, this is the only way
Speaker 3: to do this, And it's like it's so true. This
Speaker 3: is it, this is this is it. This is what
Speaker 3: we love. There's no turning up, there's no turning back.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I I was thinking about this recently because I
Speaker 2: if I like stood up and showed everybody the room
Speaker 2: right now, it's it's a disaster. I I definitely need
Speaker 2: to fix some things with shelving and not have stuff
Speaker 2: in a box on the floor or I have one, two, three, four, five,
Speaker 2: six seven piles around the computer that you can't see
Speaker 2: right now. This is all made to look pretty, but
Speaker 2: everything else is a goddamn disaster. I need space, sure,
Speaker 2: but this is the only way. Like I want to
Speaker 2: put my extra money into supporting this stuff. I want
Speaker 2: to be a part of some many of these things.
Speaker 2: I want to be able. I should. I want a
Speaker 2: couple of shows just to be able to show the
Speaker 2: titles I've worked on. That alone means a lot. I
Speaker 2: mean to be able to have a hand in bringing
Speaker 2: context to some of these or help with restorations. I
Speaker 2: just helped Craig with a restoration demo for a title
Speaker 2: they're releasing, and to be able to show the difference
Speaker 2: in the work. I'm proud to be able to be
Speaker 2: involved in sharing that.
Speaker 3: It's yeah, and you're doing great work. Man. I did
Speaker 3: not pick I did not pick, thank you. I did
Speaker 3: not pick The Great Land of Small because it wasn't
Speaker 3: technically a blind vibe. But right, uh but yeah, oh
Speaker 3: and on that on that TV movie kick this was
Speaker 3: this was a one I almost threw in there too.
Speaker 2: Ooh nice?
Speaker 3: Is that original Prime Time Panic? These are all three
Speaker 3: banger films, really good, even if you can't get.
Speaker 2: The box YEP, great curation by Fun City. Pretty Much
Speaker 2: every single title they've released, minus one or two, have
Speaker 2: been incredible. We don't talk about Militiants, but everything else, like,
Speaker 2: it's all been pretty great.
Speaker 3: There's only one of their releases I don't have, and
Speaker 3: that's not BLI us unfortunately. But but I'm like, and
Speaker 3: they have a couple of new ones that just put
Speaker 3: out that I was looking at today, so I need
Speaker 3: to pick those up. But but yeah, like there's some
Speaker 3: labels out there that just like they you know what
Speaker 3: you're gonna get. That's the great thing about dipping in
Speaker 3: and finding the things that you love and then following
Speaker 3: those things. That's the thing, and that's how blind buys.
Speaker 3: All these things that I got were blind bys that
Speaker 3: they made me go down certain paths on other things,
Speaker 3: and that's that's what it's all about.
Speaker 2: Speaking of following things you love. New World Pictures Podcast,
Speaker 2: I know we talked about it earlier. If somebody were
Speaker 2: to dive in and say, I want to hear Ryan's
Speaker 2: five favorite episodes, what are five that you'd recommend for
Speaker 2: people new to the podcast?
Speaker 3: Oh god, five favorite episodes. I would say, uh, Tom,
Speaker 3: please listen to Tom Clancy's op Center. That is a
Speaker 3: TV movie that was put out by New World Television.
Speaker 3: I absolutely loved it. On that same same tip, we
Speaker 3: we talked about Generation X. That's the first live action
Speaker 3: X Men movie that was released by New World Television.
Speaker 3: Going way back to our early days, I think we're
Speaker 3: doing much better now than we even did in the
Speaker 3: back in the day. But we've always been a blend
Speaker 3: of like having a good time and doing research. I
Speaker 3: just think my ability to do the research has gotten
Speaker 3: has gotten more and more improved. But go back and
Speaker 3: listen to The Big Dollhouse. I always think fondly of
Speaker 3: that episode because I found in the movie they drank lombonog,
Speaker 3: which is like a Philippine, a Filipino liqueur or liquor.
Speaker 3: It's basically like moonshine and uh, And I found a
Speaker 3: bottle of it and we drink it as we we
Speaker 3: all do shots of it as we're doing the episode.
Speaker 3: So I always love that. Let me see that's three
Speaker 3: uh girls just want to have fun. That's a really
Speaker 3: fun episode. We also had a great interview with the
Speaker 3: woman who actually wrote the movie. She's not credited for
Speaker 3: writing the movie, but she did in fact actually write
Speaker 3: the movie. And I would check that out too. And
Speaker 3: you know, Mountaintop Motel massacre is that's the hell? You
Speaker 3: know what? Also, I would say, not only that, but
Speaker 3: add another one in there. We finished out the year
Speaker 3: with Chopping Mall, which is not a New World movie,
Speaker 3: but is a movie that is so New World. It
Speaker 3: is so such a love letter to Corman and what
Speaker 3: he did with New World. But it was just as
Speaker 3: he had sold the company and then had moved on
Speaker 3: from the company because he was initially making movies for
Speaker 3: New World until they decided they didn't want to do
Speaker 3: being the Roger Corman business anymore. And that's such a
Speaker 3: it kills me. The Chopping Mall is not a New
Speaker 3: World movie because it just feels like it from its bones,
Speaker 3: you know. And uh, we just had so much fun
Speaker 3: talking on that episode, and I just would say, listen
Speaker 3: to that one. We if you if you don't like
Speaker 3: how much fun we have discussing that movie, then maybe
Speaker 3: you don't like the podcast. But you know, because we
Speaker 3: definitely go off topic a little bit. But we also,
Speaker 3: you know, bring some knowledge and some research and some
Speaker 3: lot and love of the movie. But yes, and I
Speaker 3: work very hard on researching each movie because again I
Speaker 3: think we talk about the movie and then I get
Speaker 3: into the like, let's learn about this movie because you
Speaker 3: want to know what happened, Especially when you watch New
Speaker 3: World Pictures movies, you're like, what happened?
Speaker 2: I don't remember if you covered more than one is
Speaker 2: it hell Raiser two that you did?
Speaker 3: We did both hell Raiser and hell Raiser two, Okay,
Speaker 3: and we also ranked we didn't episode, We ranked the
Speaker 3: entire franchise that was done before the recent remake or
Speaker 3: sequel or however you want to look at it. But
Speaker 3: so that would be the eleventh Hell Raiser movie and
Speaker 3: we did so we only ranked ten, which we won't
Speaker 3: do again.
Speaker 2: All that to say, highly recommend the hell Razor two episode.
Speaker 3: Oh thank you, Yeah it was.
Speaker 2: It was a a an episode that I find is
Speaker 2: easy to recommend to people that are new to it
Speaker 2: because you get a lot of knowledge. But also like
Speaker 2: the running voices are so funny in that episode.
Speaker 3: The yes that's humor is perfect.
Speaker 2: It is spot on, and it's it's exactly what you
Speaker 2: want for a franchise like Hell Raiser.
Speaker 3: That we should hopefully this year. We have a T
Speaker 3: shirt that's come from that. Well, a lot of our
Speaker 3: T shirt designs come out of the bits that we
Speaker 3: do during our episodes. And there is our daughter is
Speaker 3: an artist and she drew it's it's gonna be a
Speaker 3: Hella bond because it's a lot of our jokes was
Speaker 3: about Pinhead working at a sambon and she drew Hell
Speaker 3: Raiser holding up a sentiment role and it's just awesome
Speaker 3: and so hopefully that will be making it out there
Speaker 3: onto our store soon enough. So but thank you for
Speaker 3: noting that. Yeah, yes, at our shirts if you can,
Speaker 3: that's the way to support us because we don't have
Speaker 3: a Patreon, so we do a weekly show, so there's
Speaker 3: literally no way we could also do extra stuff for
Speaker 3: a Patreon. It's just impossible.
Speaker 2: Right. Well, you're killing it. You guys are amazing. Love
Speaker 2: having you on the network and for having my favorite teams,
Speaker 2: one of my favorite teams out there. You guys are
Speaker 2: hilarious and educational about movies that nobody else talks about genuinely.
Speaker 3: Yeah, thank you. Yeah, we're getting into like a zone
Speaker 3: where we're like, not a lot of people have seen
Speaker 3: this one Party Incorporated, which we did, which is a
Speaker 3: Maryland Chambers. Nobody had seen that one. So but thank you,
Speaker 3: And we're so happy to be on the network. We're
Speaker 3: so happy that we had you on and we can't
Speaker 3: wait to have you back. Serious, I'll do better the
Speaker 3: second time.
Speaker 2: I promise.
Speaker 3: You did great, You did great. You were a blast.
Speaker 2: I was wrecked that first episode.
Speaker 3: Mountain Time Motel Masker is a tricky one.
Speaker 2: It is. There's not a lot to dive into on
Speaker 2: that one.
Speaker 3: It's a hard one. Yeah, but you did great and
Speaker 3: it's a fun episode, so people check it out. Speaking to.
Speaker 2: Thank you, thank you. I normally don't pitch the Patreon
Speaker 2: all too much, but that being said, I'm I'm at
Speaker 2: the point where worried about day job stuff is definitely
Speaker 2: coming up in my life more and more.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 2: We might find out more about that in the coming weeks.
Speaker 2: If you feel like supporting somebody, hey, I wouldn't mind
Speaker 2: having some of your hard earned money every month. A
Speaker 2: lot of perks that can that you can access. We've
Speaker 2: got a discord of incredible people that you can come
Speaker 2: have a chat with. If you come into a twelve
Speaker 2: dollars level, you get a digital copy of the physical
Speaker 2: Media Advocate every single time it comes out, and I'd
Speaker 2: argue that digital copy is almost as important as the
Speaker 2: physical copy. Get links to everything. Every single picture has
Speaker 2: a link embedded for you to tap on to take
Speaker 2: you to learn about the film or to purchase the film.
Speaker 2: It's a blast. Our discord though, is really where it's at.
Speaker 2: I mean, during this chat, there's been so many things
Speaker 2: popped up. People are sharing in there, def crocodile share
Speaker 2: stuff in there, vinegar syndrome, terror vision, They've got reps
Speaker 2: in there, they're all sharing stuff that are private to
Speaker 2: the discord. Higher tiers you get physical goodies, you get
Speaker 2: bonus things like some of our visual essays, audio commentaries,
Speaker 2: I write poetry for some people, anything that you can have.
Speaker 2: Check it out. We'd love to have you in there,
Speaker 2: and we'll see you next Thursday. Next Thursday is gonna
Speaker 2: be a weird one and you'll find out why. Next week.
Speaker 2: We'll talk then cool. Have a good week. Thanks Ryan,
