Re-Connected January 29th, 2026: Announcements and Video Games with Chris Stachiw!!

You are now listening to the Someone's Favorite Productions podcast Network. Hello there, and welcome back. What is this place? Is connected? Disconnected? It's connected, disconnected, disconnected, disconnected, disconnected, disconnected.

Disconnected, disconnected, disconnected, disconnected, disconnected, disconnected.

I'm sorry to feel disconnected. Break the number that has been disconnected? Hey, hey, what is up another Thursday Live for Reconnected. I am not in my normal place. I am at my sister in law's house. We'll get to that just a moment, but first, uh back for the first time in almost eight months, mister Christashu.

Hello, welcome myself back here. I am back for a moment. We may never know how long, but I'm.

Here, hopefully at least for tonight. How's how's that interesting?

Eight months?

Has it really been that long? May last year? Yeah? Whoa, whoa, Yeah, it has been.

It has been quite a interesting eight months since the last time I was on here. A lot of life changes, a lot of professional changes with you and I, which is more exciting for me than anything else at this point in time. Frankly, not a whole lot of podcasting. The podcasting has kind of just been here at like about a middle level, but everybody else at Weirdingway Media, where I am the co founder of the podcast network, is still busting their collective tookases, as one might say, collectively.

I can speak to that directly.

Weirdingwaymedia dot com is where you can go to check out all the things that myself and the others on my network do together.

So yeah, that is true. Glad you're here, been a long time. We will talk about more and more tonight as we go through the night. I want to share I am here in a very different environment because I'm flying to Seattle tomorrow morning and my home is like an hour drive to the airport, and I'd rather get some sleep after the show rather than driving at four o'clock in the fricking morning to get to the airport. So I am here, and yeah, I am excited. Yeah

Ryan Verel had a busy week and water is wet, folks, ever.

So slightly busy you have been a part of my week with a lot of things going on, I'm curious because we've not really checked in this week about what we've been watching. What have you been checking out movie wise?

What have I been checking out movie wise?

So funny enough, this afternoon I actually watched something that I can guarantee most people either didn't watch. I know most people didn't even know it was happening for the most part until it was announced, and then it was like, wait, they're making a spiritual reboot sequel, reimagining meta sequel to Anaconda.

Well, we were gonna talk about that release tonight, So tell us how, benaw what would you feel?

What why? I could not, for the life of me, by the end of the film, ascertain as to why the film was made, because in a lot of ways, it felt like a hodgepodge, poor rejig sawing of a lot of other things. It felt kind of like Jumanji, It felt kind of like Minecraft, It felt kind of like a lot of other of those meta esequel type things, and I just I don't know it. It didn't have the charm of those other movies, and that I think, you know, for something like a Minecraft or a Jumanji.

I don't know it was.

I would say, if you're interested in checking it out, maybe watch it. I love Steveson, I love Paul Rudd, and Jack Black is Jack Black for good and for bad?

So I don't know.

It was weird. It just it was one of those movies where by the end of it, I was like, did chat GPT make this? Like is this a creative enough endeavor to have justified spending?

You know?

However many millions of dollars they did, so not my favorite thing I've seen this week.

I also enjoy Steve's on. I can't think is there anything he's done in the last five years?

Well, he was in The Righteous Gemstones season oh three. He was really good in that. He's good in this. I always think of Strange Wilderness when I think of Steve's On and the thing with the Goblin Chark and the like.

That's and I.

Mean, Steve's on was really good in those Planet of the Apes movies. I believe it was the second and third one. I mean, I know he did MOCAP in the second one. He maybe did MOCAP in the third one even but Steve. I love Steve's On, so that was I mean, it was like a selling point for me that he was in it. And then it was just like, eh, I don't know, Fandy Newton is there for like again, it's just weird.

I couldn't.

They didn't have the chemistry that they should have, and if they had had the chemistry of a Minecraft movie, it probably could have carried the movie over the finish line. Because I think that Minecraft movie, I when I watched it, I was surprised at how much I enjoyed it, But that was based primarily on the chemistry of the of the four principal actors. So yeah, that was my response when I watched the Minecraft movie was I'm.

So, you know, I feel like Jack Black hass chemistry with everybody, So.

Yeah, it's not Jack Black's fault.

I think it's just I think maybe the writing doesn't serve the four of them the best. So I don't know, I see what they were going for. I don't think it was as successful as those other films, and I mean I don't.

I don't think anybody really talked.

About that Anaconda movie, like since it's been out, like it's not make any way.

In our chat, my my friend Robert Hubbard says, so that's so that's what statue looks like. Yep, congratulations.

Now you now all those times you've hated my voice, now you can put a voice to a face.

So there you go.

Congratulations. Yeah that's what we that's me to you.

So hopefully that's not the case. This week showed my kids a couple of movies for the first time that you'll appreciate because you and I have talked about at least one of them. No, we've talked about two of them together. Actually, I showed my kids for the first time the Blair Witch Project. Fun movie fun.

Made, not the original or the remake.

Oh of the original, of course, come on, had a good time. Spencer whimpered while sitting on my lap for much of the movie and then the big one that I was stoked to be able to share them. I showed them the sixth Sense. Nice, that was a good time.

How did they feel about that?

They neither one saw the twist coming that was important, that was a big thing. Jonah was like, we no, yeah, genuinely got them. It was pretty good.

Nice Now, Yeah, I was about to say, I don't.

I don't know who else could be taken by surprise for the twist in the sixth Sense anymore other than people who weren't alive who in the film came out.

And or don't have access to free internet for most of their life so far, right.

Right, Well, that's not a given for any of us anymore.

So that is true. I also caught up again with the movie that I love and I just want to champion again because I feel like a lot of people sleep on it, and I know it got a seven Blu ray release a few years ago, but I got an episode coming up with the New World Pictures podcast and I want to highlight that. But I also want to say everybody, and I mean everybody that has not seen The Boys next Door from seven Films by Penelope Spears.

Has a huge range as a director. I love Penelope Spears's range as a director to go what is your Western Civilization?

To The Little Rascals?

I was about to say, what is your favorite Penelope Spears film?

Then, well, as a child, it would have been The Little Rascals because I saw it so much. But as an adult, it's the decline of Western civilization. So and I know that that might ruffle some Wayne's world feathers, but I I'm a fall of Western civilization.

Guys. I just know you love the cameos and Little Rascals specifically, I do.

I mean there is a there is a cameo in that movie that I think is very telling for the person who is in it. Yeah, that's a nice way of getting it. You're the best some money can buy. How many times have you heard that.

Or said that literally?

We said that literally to your own children.

As far as pickups, since I'm in my sister in law's house, I have nothing with me. What about you? You've been you've been purchasing anything. I know, you're a card collector, You've got all kinds of things that you're checking out. Anything you want to talk about or share.

I was gonna say, you know, it's been in terms of things that I've picked up or things that I've watched, or things that I have been engaging in. I you know, the physical media space. You and I have talked about this a lot, like I've been getting back into it a lot more so actually since the last time we talked. I picked up Stop Making Sense in Midsomar on the

Normally it's like a stick of.

Gum or a red bull, not one hundred and twenty dollars worth of the you know, So I bought those in the last eight months. Yeah, I do. I do a lot of I mean, I do a lot of card collecting. I do a lot of other thing collecting. But I honestly, in the last like eighteen months, two years, I've been more just trying to downsize the stuff that I have, so I have not been loading up on things.

You know. I'm looking to change that this.

Year though, because there's a lot of there's a lot of stuff coming out this year that I'm really excited about, and you know, getting more into the physical media space with you directly with Antenna, I think will lead to me spending probably more money on physical media just because I'm constantly being exposed to it in a substantive way. So no, that's all I've got.

I did an interview for Tennant today and Billy Ray and I got asked, what is your favorite special feature that you've ever seen? And immediately my mind was like, I don't want to list fifty four of them and just it's so difficult to pick one of those things.

But yes, I have an answer hit us, well I can.

I say it's a collective answer, but I think the answer is technically always the same every single the sides show Bob stepping on Rake's noise is a genuine mean noise. Agree. The Simpsons for me is my meme show. It's the thing that I come back to where all the memes of my life with most of my friends come from.

So I'm just.

Glad, like I said, that I get to be exposed to more physical media stuff with you through antenna, because otherwise I really was kind of out of the physical media game, which is crazy, because I mean, I have so many DVDs in Blu rays at my parents' house and here in my basement.

I just at one point I just stopped.

So I'm glad that there will be a time now where the stopping is gone. So and it is hard to downsize when you want to buy other things. So you know, discs don't take up that much space, right right?

Uh? One disc does not turns out as thousand does.

On top of each other. How many does it take to reach the moon?

Mac and Cheese is asking, well, intenda put out innovative low budget genre films too. Absolutely literally watched two today that I am meeting with the filmmaker about because I truly loved it and can't wait to see if we can make a deal on that one because it was

I would say pretty much everything we've seen so far has been pretty great. I mean, you know, it's yeah, and it's been at all levels of stuff. I mean, to your point, we've seen things that are theatrical and then we've seen I mean, you know, some of the stuff that I brought to the table is you know, you film festival shorts with that are claymation and stop

So I agree, Yeah, I agree, And uh, you know, I've actually gotten that question a lot of what is what is the genre that Antenna's gonna be focusing on? And I really hate to answer that because it sounds like the idiot typical answer to say, well, will literally release any genre anything. It just it just has to

Yeah, we want to make sure that what we're putting out with our name behind it is representative of Antenna. And I think that you know that's you know, for good and for bad. We are going to stick to our our guns on the things that we do and don't want. So yeah, but I think to your point, I mean for your audience, like I think, yeah, please send in any of your suggestions, because literally we don't know until we start looking what the situation for so

No?

I can't either, So you never know.

And for those that have not surmised from this, Chris is playing a part in Antenna obviously is the word we is thrown around a lot. I probably should have mentioned at the beginning, But Chris is going to be doing a lot of stuff behind the scenes with us, and our team has has steadily grown the entire time.

Yeah, it had well and the success is you know, you and I talked on the phone about a month and a half ago and there I asked you, like, what are the what are the reach goals that we have for Antenna And all of those reach goals have happened in the last month, which is a complete nightmare in the best and worst way. Yeah, it's it's been

The director will be there live answering questions, doing a Q and A. They're showing a couple bonus things that night. Go check it out. Brindad doing some great stuff lately, and it's a nice big venue, fits like four hundred and fifty people, I think something like that, So please go check it out. We'd love to have you recent watches anything else that you want to throw out there other than the one film.

I was going to say some of the stuff I think we're going to talk about at the end when we talk about video game stuff, if that maybe gives a little bit of it away.

In terms of the most recent thing I saw in theaters.

I like many people finish Stranger Things. Maybe not everybody in your chat did, but I was part of the group of people that had been watching it since it came out, so and I enjoyed it for the most part the entire time, So finish the show. I like, not going to go into my complaints or issues with it, but it it was fine. It was not nearly as bad as Game of Thrones or the other comparatives it's been getting. Went and rewatched All the Righteous Gemstones, which

Honestly, not a bad idea. It's been a while for me too.

Yeah, I.

Will say that when I was in college, a lot of the people I was friends with and some of them I'm still friends with, overquoted that show and it was Justified as a good option.

I loved Justified, same.

Same, Justified is great. I still remember that first the opening scene with the gentleman who just passed away a couple of weeks ago. Him and Timothy Olafon are in that first scene together, the guy who plays the villain in the mask. Oh yes said from pulp Fiction. I remember that opening scene of the show. Is just so well done and so well shot. But yeah, a lot of Walton Goggin's going around.

But yeah, I've been.

Watching more TV than movies. Watched all the Scream movies again, watched them with a friend of mine who had never seen them because her and I are going to go see Scream seven next month, which you and I are going to talk about. So just been rewatching a lot of stuff. And yeah, like I said, Arrested Development is next. So I'm excited to to rewatch that, get some of.

Those Peter Green was green.

Yeah, excited to see arrested Development again and and reappreciate that. So who knows.

Laura has still never seen Arrested Development. And I need to figure out if it's for type of comedy or not, because God is it's so good.

You'll know by the end of that first episode.

Yeah, And to be fair, like it's a pretty easy watch. And I have already told my friend lindsay, like, well, I'm not watching the fourth season.

So happy birthday, Brandon, enjoy your night. Enjoy it.

Squirld's not that whack.

Come on, it's it's pretty whack.

It's it's real whack.

Why is Ryan at a seafood restaurant?

It does the wood paneling? You look like you're in a long John Silvers.

It's a seafood restaurant. And Satanism.

Wow, Satanism and seafood brought us to this.

That was amazing. I am at my sister in law's house because I'm flying on an airplane early tomorrow morning, so I needed to get close to the airport.

I think now for your for your sister's either birthday or for Christmas, you should buy her a a a captain's wheel for her wall to replace behind you.

But does she already have one?

Maybe because it's kind of the perfect room for that.

Honestly, it is the wall color and everything, the waist high wood paneling, My guy Satan secred shellfish with Satan. Everybody, what have you been watching? I know you haven't had a lot of time this just.

This last week was just those three that I mentioned, Blair, Witch and the Boys next Door. Those are the big ones for me. And then of course we showed the kids sixth Cents and then a whole bunch of stuff for antenna. That big thing, the big thing is so much for antenna. I'm watching countless movies this last week. There was one that I don't know it just to

Well, and I think it's important that we're giving these movies a fair shake, you know, because yeah, some people only Yeah I've heard about people not even watching the movies making decisions on them.

Yeah, that certainly has happened in life.

Yeah, I've heard of these things being a thing.

Yeah. No, I was going to say, like, you know, the outside of the antenna releasing stuff that I've been watching, which, like you said, is absorbed most of my time because I've been spending a lot of time trying to figure out where Buzzy is. Frankly, where is Buzzy? Hashtag? Where is Buzzy?

It's a great question, and hopefully we find out at some point. Silent Man will watch Heart Boiled in the theater, and good gosh, I wish I could see Heart Boiled in the theater right now. I wanted to get out this last weekend. Honestly, I'm still crushed. I haven't been able to see the new twenty eight years later yet. I'm really hoping to be able to go that and then our boy, you and I both really enjoy Sam Raimi. He's got a new one out this weekend.

Yeah, that's help, the one with Dylan O'Brien.

Dylan O'Brien, somebody, I love you Baker not well. I wish more people had watched that because that episode is hilarious.

But to be fair, the three people that needed to have been there were there, You, Me and Billy. It's true, It's true, Dylan O'Brien and Dylan Baker. Everybody. No way those two should have ever been confused for one another. But here I am doing the Lord's.

Work, all right? Anything else, anything else for your your podcast you want to hype up coming out or recently out finished Chasing Chevy Chase.

That's right, Yeah, the Chasing Chevy Chase podcast, or the Chasing Chevy Cast as we like to call it. We actually recorded our final final episode last night, because you know, when a Chevy Chase documentary comes out the same year you're ending your Chevy Chase centric podcasts. I would say it's kind of important to talk about the only Chevy Chase documentary that there will probably ever be, So if you have not watched it, I would go check it out.

Speaking of Dylan O'Brien says, Reggie has Twinless been announced for a physical media release, not yet, and I freaking it better come out because that movie is god dang incredible. It is a movie that I've seen already twice in the last few months, and I've preached it everywhere. I mean, Craig, go and see it. And he's saying, if not, I know a label, Craig, please go get Twinless. I would work my ass off to make that release. Amazing. God, Yeah, somebody put it out. Thanks Sam, appreciate you.

I'm still waiting. I'm still waiting to watch it. I haven't watched yet, but I know you have. When I watch it, I'm sure I will come back to you and sing your sing your choice praises of telling me to watch it. So I'm going to watch it in the next week. I'm gonna avail myself of that. But yeah, I have heard nothing but good things, specifically from you about it.

I preach about it quite a bit. That is all I've got. Don't forget after the announcements real quick. We're gonna be talking about video game adaptations after that, and save up your answers. We can talk about those then, but let's break into it. This is gonna be weird for me because I don't have my second monitor like I usually do, so I'm gonna have to go back and forth on some tabs here Chroma, Glad you made

I have not.

I like the box art though.

Yeah, it does look good.

It looks it looks well made, which you know you're not a guarantee anymore.

That is true, although this is from nineteen eighty four in two thousand, so yeah, next up, this is a really important announcement. So February twenty fourth, Strand Releasing is putting out Pink Narcissus from nineteen seventy one. For those that have never heard of this film, this says a young hustler escapes from the harsh realities of street life and into a series of lushy, erotic dream worlds while waiting for his next client in James Bidgood's legendary underground classic.

I've heard you sing the praises of this privately, and I am excited to watch it. I'll tell you that much.

So yeah, we got a couple things here too. By the way, there's an interview with James Bidgood that's from the BFI and then it's a four K or sorry, there is a four K restoration post screening Q and A with John Waters and Kelly mccig. But there's really not a lot on this film for the foundation of

Nope?

What name though?

BJ Thomas?

Though, like rain drops are falling on my head, BJ Thomas, I've got I believe so wow.

Okay, I mean it is from nineteen seventy three. Yeah.

I was gonna say, like, I only know one BJ Thomas, and it's that one. So I'm gonna get that, all right.

H Next up, we've got from Warner Archive a four film collection of Tennessee Williams films, coming on March seventeenth, all on Blu Ray. Now again, these have all been previously released, they sold well enough, and now they've come together and put this release together to essentially just be cheaper for everybody. This is an interesting release. Glad that it's coming out there. That being said, the film's here.

Yeah, that's a I mean, I wouldn't say one of these things is not like the other, but one of these things is significance is a little bit more apparent than the other three. Uh yeah, I will say though it's special features is the room on here. I have heard that that film has the passion of Tennessee Williams, according to the director of the film.

Anyways, according to one person, yes, a.

M yeah, that's interesting. I'm this is shocking. This c street car name desire in there with the other three. Yeah, yeah, huh okay, uh yeah, that's.

A good call. Colton cat on a hit, Hotson Roof is on Criterions Prize. They aren't gunning for those others. It's a good call. One thing I will point out, because I did make a note of this their artwork when they put this out up. You'll notice Williams spelled wrong. Okay.

I was about to say, please tell me that Williams is spelled with two l's or that I just didn't realize it was one hell up to this point because.

It was.

With the passionate of Tennessee Williams. That's what I would have expected from Tommy Wizo, frankly not or I guess Warner Archives soon to be Warner Archive owned by Netflix, So.

I don't like that. So I just wanted to bring some faith back to humanity. I put this out and Warner Archives said, we saw your notes, we have fixed the artwork, and we have fixed it. And they did send me the proper artwork after this, so it is done. When you buy this, it will not only have one L. You can rest.

Assured instead of having one L, it will just be a W will be replaced with a Z.

S will be Tennessee zillions.

So either that or Tennessee will have no double letters, will just be T E N E S E.

Oh my god, now that would be That's what I would do.

So but Williams would have like five bells.

Yeah, good Tennessee Williams. Now it sounds like we're from the Deep South.

Except you have to really put the emphasis on the E and we, so it's wee Liams Tennessee Williams. Next up, MGM already showing the fruits of that the agreement they just put out with Allons. So February tenth, they're putting out a Blu Ray DVD of Jack and Sarah from nineteen ninety six. No extras on the disc, but this is what you're going to get. There is a big deal Judy Denchian McKellen and the film together. This is a rough looking cover on this.

Yeah, it is I don't even know what to say. I mean minimal. I mean, let me put it this way. If you didn't want me to know it was a movie from the nineties, you didn't do a very good job. Because this, I mean, this looks like just like, this looks like it could have been coming out at the same time as Janine Garoffalo Uma Thurman rom Coms because it yep and yeah and yeah, Richard, what's weird is from that angle, young Richard Grant looks like Gary Oldman.

Ooh, he does a little bit.

It does a little bit. Yeah, it's the hair. I think it's the I think it's the hair. Yeah, never seen it. I mean looks interesting. I love Richard D. Grant talk about a long tail on his career being relevant twenty twenty six.

Yeah, no, it looks I.

Mean the cover art looks awful and the fact that they don't have Judy Denser Ian McKellen mentioned anywhere is also very amusing. But they do have a break, so I mean, wow, nothing more nineties than that.

Next up from Bizarre Theater, releasing on February twelfth, you can pick up a double feature of Firework and Do Not Disturb from twenty seventeen to twenty eighteen. These are by the filmmaker David M. Dawson. Firework is about two slackers of barking on a relaxing getaway over the Fourth of July weekend, only to find the seclusions slowly chipping away their sanity. And do not Disturb says Jordan searches for meaning while unintentionally reuniting with his old friends and

Like the Big Experiment type stuff.

Yeah, yeah, stuff like that. Funny enough, I showed Billy Rayseldon like that today and Antenna is considering one like that.

Oh fun I mean, I'm game, I you know, look, you know, I think that the world is in much more need of like Faces of Death ten or whatever we would be at at this point.

It is a bad week to mention that. You do you know they're putting on the Faces of Death remake.

I do know, I do know. I saw that's the joke.

Oh my god, job Okay, just making sure.

Yeah, no, I mean, look like, shock films have been a dime a dozen for as long as people have been trying to get a rise out of each other. You know, I love a good Serbian film and salo like the next person. So it's true.

Well, now that we've talked about a shock film, you want to talk about one of the biggest pieces of news from this week. We got confirmation over at my buddy Jake from steel Book Obsessed channel that Lionsgate will be releasing Kill Bill the Whole Bloody Affair on home video this year twenty twenty six. Now, the current rumor

I'm not a Tarantino guy, So this was not on my I know, I know you, I remember you and I had this conversation. It's just it's not my bag. I know that the people who went and saw it enjoyed it immensely. I did not go and see it, and kill Bill would not be the if there were to be a Tarantino film to come back to theaters for me to watch. There are like two or three of them that I did see in theaters that I would go back and rewatch.

Kill Bill is not one of them. So and I will leave it at that.

But I know how important this is for a large group of film going people to be able to have this version of the movie at home for them to watch, and not the kind of fan versions or all the other myriad of versions that it existed in downloadable forms for the last like ten, ten, fifteen years now.

So yeah, yeah, this is, like you said, this is the big deal for lots of reasons. One of the big ones is it is a filmmaker's voice and passion for a very specific film finally being able to be realized in his complete version. And I will say, after having seen it in the theater with with my buddy KB here who's in the chat, we were shoulder to shoulder for this movie, and it is it is the

Go ahead, I guess I did forget that this happened last couple months. Tarantino is a real asshole everybody, It's true, yes, yeah, yeah, yeah. So there's also that, so I hashtag Paul Dano and Matt Lillard. Sorry I take their sides and all this. Yeah, actually, you know what I forgot? No, no, let me walk this all back. Tarantino should put his foot in his mouth, which he would really like so, or maybe he should put someone else's foot in his mouth, which he would

The funny thing is, I think pretty much everybody agrees. I don't think anybody agrees with his opinions on stuff. But good movie. Check it out. I'm glad it's coming out on home video. I'm glad that we waited and did not confirm that this was coming out until there was confirmation. Unlike some other people that jumped the gun and claimed it is one hundred percent happening, you had no idea this is good, This is good.

Yeah, I think this is good for the industry, and I will say that it's good for the industry in a way that the Snyder cut is good for the industry.

This will sell like fucking hotcakes. That's the other thing. I apologize in advance. But when this comes out, I don't usually say you need to jump on something quickly. I'm not trying to fomo ever or something like that. But if you want this, you probably should get it really damn quick. When it gets fully announced up for pre order.

I may buy it just so I can have it to sell it to somebody else. No, seriously, like not at like an exorbitant markup, but like if this is a thing like that, if someone in the future wouldn't have it, I'd.

Be like, why I have a copy of this? Would you like to buy it from me?

Like, because that's a thing, right, Like, probably will be plenty of these to go around, though, I'm not going to just make five of them, you know.

So that being said there the lines gate, Well, it'll be a wide release too. I'm mostly talking about if you want the special another community get limited. The highest print run they've had on that site so far, I believe is ten thousand, which that's a big number, but not a crazy number like Vinegar Syndrome sold twelve thousand plus copies of The Keep in thirty hours. This is going to sell very very well.

This is going to sell a lot in a very short period of time.

Yeah, and if it does, it'll be printing money for twenty four hours. Yeah.

And you know what, good for them because again, like you, like you said, like as much as I don't like him as a person, I can respect his choices as a filmmaker from time to time.

But this is a good thing for the industry.

Yeah, because, like you said, embracing a filmmaker's voice and passion is important. Do I like the person that it is?

No, but I can.

Respect the things that you know, he has brought to the industry and the directions. You know, he's allowed people to appreciate other things that they would never have gone out and watched otherwise.

So nine Bolt in the chat, I'm gonna make you very unhappy right now, he says. The lines get uhgs of Kill Bill one and two look like absolute dogshit. Is this a new transfer? No, it still has that sort of waxy look. Definitely look that way in the theater. It is only going to be that exact same one again. And yes, Zepam lines Gate Limited still only ships in

So with the with the print that they were using, the waxiness is what what is that attributed to?

It's inherent to the negative. And I believe it's only a two KDI because of the film itself, and I I I don't know. For some reason, that's the look that they it's though, yeah, yeah, gotcha.

By the way, in case anyone's curious, Inglorious Bastards, Django, Unchained, and Hateful later the three movies I would go rewatch in theaters and Jackie Boy. I've never seen Jackie Brown.

Ooh, that could be Chris's favorite.

I mean, my friend Lindsey likes it a lot. I actually I think one of the first times I went over to her apartment, she was watching it and we ended up putting on something else. So I've never seen it, so I can't speak on that one. I mean, Reservoir Dogs is still for me kind of best worst entry point for him, So, you know, worst because it's my favorite, and there I felt like there was no nothing pasted it best because I like it so much.

So how do you feel about Deathproof? Have you seen that one?

I mean death Proof?

For me the longest time, Deathproof was my favorite Tarantino thing, and it probably in a lot of ways like it is, but it's so it is a Tarantino thing, but it's so not a Tarantino thing at the same time, like it is, but it isn't death I mean death Proof.

Stuntman Mike Kurt Russell.

I mean, my god, I remember speaking of something like

So but yeah, about two and a half years ago, I did get a chance to go see it in the theater again, So I was really glad I got to see it.

It's amazing.

It literally is such a fun experience.

Let's talk about one of the other top biggest news of the week. We are going to talk about another huge director, George A. Romero's Bruiser getting a four K release here in the US from Keno Lrber sometime. We don't have a release date yet. But this is a big deal because this was one of the films that famous horder and greedmaster mister Rubinstein had been holding on to This and Dono the Dead and some others, and in the US his rights for these have been tied

I have not?

Should I yes, it is underrated, and well, the biggest thing is it's under seen. Most people have never seen Bruiser. That's not an uncommon thing. It's it's George A. Ramerow. So it's something that people are gonna see the big titles overlook this one and call it a day basically, which.

It's not great by the way. I don't like that, thinking like a lot of director's best movies are not the thing they're most known for.

So yeah, it's a good movie. Though it is, it is underrepresented, it is pretty creepy. For a lot of other directors. It is going to be something that you know, other people wish that they could make a movie like Bruiser, And it's because it's George A. Rammero. It's always gonna be held up to. Well, it's not Day of the Dead, it's not not The Living Dead.

So I know some people that say it's not Creep Show that's their favorite Romero movie, looking at you, Father Malone, I guess father malone favorite His is Gone to the Dead, probably by a leaps and margins. But creep Show, I know for a lot of people's also up there, you know. I mean, fuck, Martin is up there for some people as well.

Martin is great. Martin is great.

That's the thing when people talk about Romero only like I only know that. Like, man, there are so many good Romero movies out there, you know. I mean, I'm even a fan of Night Writers, which I don't know, like talk about an underseen movie, talk about a weird concept ed Harris as a motorcycle jousting, true, Like what a strange concept that works?

Though. So this film, for those that have never seen it, the synopsis here is, after years of being browbeaten and walked on, a man wakes one day wearing an expressionless mask fitted with the personality that enables him to take revenge. And yes, Robert is correct, it is definitely more of a social satire than a whore. Don't expect like other George A. Romero films for this to be something that is explicit lee horror, because it is not. Most of his things are not.

I was gonna say, like Romero's stuff is, I mean to his point, like if you were to talk about Donna the Dead, Like Donna the Dead is social satire on top of being horror. So you know, did you see this?

Your mom is watching live? Oh great? And my mom was watching live earlier.

I know they're all watching. They're always watching.

It is not about a dog, Mike, I promise, let's say, or a wrestler.

If you're into Bruiser Brody directed by George.

Romero, I'd watch it.

I would, Yeah, I watched it. I would watch George Romero film a biopic about Doink the Clown directed by George Romero. I watch.

Uh, all right, Let's go to our next one. H Zootopia two, which came out in twenty twenty five, getting a March third four K steelebook release then a standard Blu ray and a DVD release here in the States. No standard four K, as per the usual for Disney stuff. For most of the Disney stuff. At least, this will

Yeah, and it's not for any reason specifically. Just the first movie was fine.

Yep.

When did the first movie even come out? Like twenty fourteen, twenty fifty? It was like no, was said, it was like a long time ago. No, like it feels, I mean it. Maybe it was.

Twenty sixteen, okay, way later.

Two years off. I had not thought about Zootopia in ten years, and maybe it'll be another or ten before I have to think about it again.

I don't know Zutopia came out before Coco.

That's what I'm saying, dude, like Zutopia has been out a long time. Uh, you know, I don't have any like remembrance is negative or positive towards the original. I just don't remember it like sparking joy within me the way some of the other speaking of Coco, like some of the other Pixar films, definitely did and have since since. See what's weird as Utopia should have been a movie I totally vibed with, But then there were movies that came out after that that I vibed with a lot more.

Utopia is not Pixar.

I know, I know well, But to be fair though, like it's easy to confuse them because of the Disney of it all. And that's the thing, like I guess more for me, I haven't necessarily always vibed with Disney animation as much as I have with Pixar's animation. And you know, Frozen was Disney Animation. Frozen's five true. You know there are Disney Animation has done a lot of

So the message in both is animated copaganda basically, and.

So instead of ice, it's mice.

Well, ice actually plays a big part in the sequel. I will say that.

I swear to god.

There's a frozen town. Never mind, anyway, I hope here we go. Coming on March third on Blu Ray from Sony Pictures is For All Mankind Season two. Now this is sort of weird because season two is from twenty twenty one.

I was about to say this show has been out and over for years now.

Yes there are what is there four seasons of the show or five something.

Like yeah, but like there this season has been four years, five years ago.

So uh, there are this season and more seasons on Blue Ray overseas. But we are finally catching up on the stage. Season two finally coming to Blue Ray. Not sure what happened and why the delay, but I've heard the show is great. Have you have you watched this?

I haven't.

It's it's on my list of things to watch. It's what like alternate history.

Show of something like that.

In the Space Race. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think it is. Is it Joel Kinneman?

I think is in it?

One of these that's the one. Yeah.

I like Joel Kineman.

Actually, you know, he's kind of broken away from the Sam Worthington, Jay Courtney, Charlie Hunham, all those dudes who look the same and do the same things conversation.

Yeah, yeah, he's.

Broken away from that pack. I think Suicide Squad was that moment for me. And then Kineman also has a lot of really great films in his native language, which I think he's Norwegian, Finnish or Swedish. So yeah, I want to watch. It's on my list, you know, that list of ever growing things that you and I will never tackle.

Yeah, completely completely understand Apple plus Physical Ghetto, which is hilarious because Sony owns the rights to the home video, so it doesn't make any sense that they would wait so long.

Anyways, but ted Lasso came out on physical media.

And that all of the stuff that has come out from Apple is all because the production company is ruled right a couple.

Yeah, ted Lasso came out and now there's a fourth season, so that that complete addition thing that they released doesn't even hold water anymore.

Not only that they released it on Blu Ray and then six months later released it on four K, and then six months after that announced a fourth season. How shitty is that?

I'm just it's shocking to me, Like you knew this whole time and you did it anyways.

Yeah, we're not.

Even gonna leave room in that box for it.

Like okay, slave to Cinema tonight showing the vertical formatters my phone just going Waco. There are two streams. You can go back to YouTube and choose the landscape if you look in the title. One has landscape, one has portrait. Go choose the landscape one and you can join everybody else in the chat because most people are not in the vertical stream and we'd love to have you. Next up is Ella McKay from This Last Year, coming out

One, right, I didn't, But I like that there is a special feature about how much the cast loves working with the director.

I mean it's a big deal for ja I know still be directing is huge.

Oh I know, like I oh, I am well aware, and I acknowledge that completely. It's just very funny that that's like. And we love working with James L. Brooks.

It's true.

Yeah, I mean who doesn't Albert and Joe or James Albert Brooks and James L. Brooks.

Good for them.

Yeah, Like I haven't seen it, but just looking at the cast on the DVD or the Blu ray boxer, like, my lord.

So this this movie is interesting. I won't say it's a great movie. I won't say it's a bad movie. It is, okay. I feel like the characters in this movie all could have been in their own movie and it could have been more interesting than this movie. This is just very bland through and through. For example, and I know you haven't seen this, but L Mka plays somebody that becomes governor of a state. They go the entire movie without naming a state. They're in the governor's office.

Worked on the Simpsons man. They never said where Springfield was.

While true, I like, none of it makes it. There's no flag in the governor's office. None of it is. It's such a weird situation, strange. Is it?

Like is it like heightened realism? Is it like fantastical realism in some respect?

Because like.

Is it? Because if you're doing that, if you're doing that, I can see it being excusable. Maybe that's the word.

Maybe in a way. I mean, a couple of the things you can say are heighten realism. So maybe that's what they wanted to come across. I don't know.

It doesn't look like the kind of thing I'm rushing out to see. But the James L. Brooks of it all is intriguing.

That's why I forced myself to see it in the theater, because I mean, first of all, this cast is great, some great names here and James L. Brooks, and then it just did not work fully. Yeah, let's see going to the next one, VHS Halloween. We've spent some good time talking about VHS films. April seventh, Blu Ray DVD coming from Shutter Did you see the newest one. I have not seen this yet.

I have not seen this one yet. I actually was trying to have to watch all of them, actually have them all in my possession, as it were, and I've been waiting to watch them.

Love the first one.

I love that the first one has had like three movies, three full ass movies come out of that movie.

It was I the first or the second VHS.

I think it's had like full ass movie adaptations of those short films in there. I really really really like the VHS movies and the VHS yeah format. I've heard this one's good, like actually very good.

How do you feel about the rest of them? I mean, I know you like them. Is there like a certain ranking? Is there one that you think is the best? By far?

The first one is still the best one for me. I think the first one has the the first one has I think for me the most. I like the framing device in the first one. I think is probably also the wrap around that they use. I think after that first one, I'm not sure. I'm such a big fan of the wrap rounds, which I think the first one kind of checks all the boxes for me. What about you?

I think the first has the best segment. But I actually really like the reboot that they've done with like these last few years after the first three, I feel like the newest ones on Shutter have been very good surprisingly.

Okay, yeah yeah, those I have not seen as many times I think also obviously, like I've seen the first one a lot, so that maybe contributes to it as well.

So yeah, check it out, check it out. I need to see this one for sure. March twenty third, Vertigo over in the UK is putting out Saipan from twenty twenty five. This is Yanna Hardwicck and Steve Coogan. Look at how much Steve Coogan is channeling is ill Enter like Glenn Close here?

What is what is this?

This looks not soccer movie? Yeah, I think so. It says the thrilling story of the infamous confrontation between iconic Republic of the Ireland football captain Roy Keane and his national team manager Mick McCarthy during the Irish team's preparations for the two thousand and two feet of World Cup, and for Steve Coogan to be playing one of these people is wild.

Well it's not an act movie, but it sure looks like one.

They want you to take this very seriously.

Maybe it'll be good. I love Steve Coogan.

He's great. Looks a lot like glenk close to the side program.

It looks yeah, I don't know, like, yeah, I'm not sure what energy we're attempting to channel.

Here changing where I'm sitting. Sorry, all right, so that's.

Oh did you have to slide down in the booth a little bit where you're getting uncomfortable? Are they kicking you out? I guess it is nine longer. Yeah, I'm much longer at Captain D's. Are you allowed to be there before they kick you out? Captain Peese? Isn't that the other place? That's bogg John Silver's adjacent? Like and people. I mean, look, if you go and eat seafood from a fast food restaurant.

Listen, I don't know, is underrated?

That should be on your tombstone.

It might be if I ever eat there again.

Yeah, I was about to say if that Ryan Beryl's last words were long John Silvers is underrated.

Back in the day, it wasn't terrible. I've not had long John Silvers in god eighteen years.

Maybe it's just judging by whenever you've still been alive.

Since What a weird sentence hashtags judging by when you've been alive since and before that you ate? Oh that gotta be good. Yeah.

Like I said, I hope you're not making too much noise for all the people with the Long John Silvers.

Yeah, funny. I think my sister in law and her partner are asleep.

The kitchen's closed for the evening, is what you're saying.

The kitchens closed? Yep, I'll be allowed fish sandwiches can go hard. Agreed, there was long shots? Are you guys? Chris? Probably is? I am not.

I am not high. I just I just I always find it very amusing that Long John Silvers anytime it comes up is just like who eats there?

When was the last time you ate there?

And how many jokes can we make about it before we move on and forget that Long John Silvers exist?

All of these comments.

I know, I'm so good. People have been witting unknowing of the night. I know unknowingly. People have been waiting all evening to have their opinions about fast food. Seafood been made of band, You're welcome.

Oh god, oh this is great.

My tip of my pirates or my Captain's cap to you, as they.

Say, Steffano Longjohn Silvers is still in business support.

Similarly to Mattress Warehouse, it is still in business. It may be a money laundering front though, who knows.

Either way. There's always money in the Hushpuppies.

There's always money in the Friday Attic. Good lord, all right.

Next up, the film Ship from nineteen eighty is getting a four K and standalone Blu ray release from Keno Lober. Now, this George Kennedy film. You've maybe seen this before, but if you haven't, brand new HDR goldbi Vision Master coming on this of the theatrical cut. New commentary for the theatrical cut by Paul Krup and Jase Bachansky. New commentaries for both cuts by Alexander Heller Nicholas and Josh Nelson. And yes, I say both cuts because there is an

I love me some George Kennedy.

Yeah, he's always great. Yeah, And this sert is iconic.

Yeah, I've never heard of this film, never seen this film, but this is now made. The list is Richard Krenna great and George Kennedy, I mean, my lord. Yeah, Ed hawkein from Naked Gun ethel That's all I say. I just love George Kennedy. So George Kennedy is such a funny like and all the other things I've seen him, and he's not funny, but in Naked Gun he plays such a funny straight man opposite Leslie Nielsen that the two of their chemistry just they're so good. That was

Well I'm glad you agree. This next one, I don't know anything about it. It is coming soon. I'm four K from Imprint in Australia The Monster from nineteen seventy five, also known as I Don't Want to Be Born. They're putting this out soon with a brand new internal four K restoration by Imprint, And this one says a woman gives birth to a baby, but this is no ordinary one. The child is seemingly possessed by the devil, a tale as old as time.

So I had to say, how many of you in the chat can raise your hands?

Good lord A he sounds sounds interesting.

I love to god.

Was that a real thing that someone just mentioned?

What, George, that is a real thing.

That is amazing. Whatever that is, I'm going to have to hunt that down.

Uh. And Jim says he saw a death ship at the drive in when it first came out. Jim, that's amazing, that's fantastic. Robert Hubbard is asking if this is with Joan Collins, and yes, yes, it is actually pretty decent cast on this Joan Collins, Carole Monroe, Donald Pleasance, Eileen Atkins. I've not seen this, but supposedly Donald Pleasantce does like hardly anything in this movie. How do you pleasants?

I love Donald Pleasance. I was gonna say, like Donald Pleasance in terms of Australian films. Uh, you know, man, Yeah, if it's too bad he doesn't do much in this. So now that right there is the comment of the night. You don't even have to but we don't have to put anything else on. That is quite possibly the greatest comment I've ever been a part of.

That's amazing.

The Chattanooga Choo choose what you do after you eat? Long John Silvers might need to be the next The next T shirt for Disconnected.

Is uga Choo Choo in Long John Silver's font.

That's it.

We wouldn't get in trouble their weir font's probably not trademarked by anybody, with like.

A visage of George Kennedy below it.

Doing this and like a like a like a like a train conductor's hat, like one of those little like striped vertical striped hats.

Of course, yeah, of course.

I would like to see this movie. I actually really like Ozzy uh cinema, so I uh yeah, Mike Mike White at the projection booth, and I did an entire month of ozploitation films a couple of years ago. I really enjoyed them. So this this is again also on the list. I said that a lot when I come here.

I think this is British, not Assy.

But I'm not just being put out by an Aussie company, right, correct?

Correct? Okay, you did not just pull that out of tinner Wow movie from where April thirteenth, We're getting a four K over in the UK from Studio Canal of The Devil's Backbone from two thousand and one. This is by a little scrappy, up and coming filmmaker named Giamo del Toro. I couldn't say that without laughing. Brand new four K restoration of the film. We got a new artwork by Christiana Balachschanoi, sixty four page book of the essays,

I was, I was, I was gonna say, whatever happened to that little upstart guy, Giermo del Toro. Yeah, this movie's fantastic. I mean his early stuff, Devil's Backbone and Kronos are they are the reason he is where he is now. And that style, style with substance that he has been a purveyor of his entire career. This is where it starts. And I mean, Devil's Backbone is amazing,

I still think Pans Labyrinth is my number one, but those are. It probably goes Pans and then Devil's Backbone and then maybe Mimic.

I love, I do like mimic. Mimics good.

And you know, not a lot of people remember it's a del Toro movie, that first one.

Anyways. Honestly, Deltur is one of those filmmakers that it makes the best sense to watch his film in chronological order.

I thineah, I agree, I agree.

I was gonna say Del Toros directed one of my favorite comic book movies that first Hell Boys, just oh my god, like yeah. I saw an interview with Ron Perlman recently. He's like, we owe the fans a third movie. I mean, I agree. I I left the theater of that second one going I can't wait for the third one. Thirty six years old now I'm still waiting.

So it is a bold choice. I'm sorry, Josh, but mimic. Mimic mimic got me early. I think it might have. I think it was the first one I saw from del Toro. Yeah, Christen de Cuche, that's a great movie too.

I get it.

I actually think with del Toro, you could go out out and say any of his movies are your favorite of his? Really, like I don't think he's really had a not great movie. I mean, even to Stefino's point, like Nightmare Alley is actually pretty good and I was surprised, like very much not what I was expecting from del Toro, but I actually enjoyed it.

I still haven't seen Nightmare Alley ever, and I have yet to watch Frankenstein either. I really need to watch it.

Frankenstein's good, Frankenstein is good. But for me, when I watched Frankenstein, I was like, Frankensin's good, not surprising, like you know, like at this point, I'm like del Toro knows his shit, like he's he is for me, one of the most competent filmmakers working right now, and like

Yeah, I'm not a Pacific Rim guy.

That might actually be the only thing of his I'm not a fan of shock really. Yeah.

I like the Toku stuff outside of that.

Yeah, yeah, I just can't get down with Pacific Rim for whatever. Like, and I will say I like the Kaiju stuff outside of it, but not a lot of the American Godzilla stuff. Like I'm not a huge fan of those Monster Verse things either. You know, you really want to get me dragged up a flagpole back down. Nineteen ninety nine Godzilla not that bad. Gotta go, folks.

I didn't I didn't hate it, but I certainly don't love it.

It's got its charm. It's not a Godzilla movie, but it has its charm. When are you gonna see Matthew Broderick and Hanka's area together on screen? And Harry Shearer?

Yeah, I I certainly love people that have brand people down in other countries.

Yikes.

Gratt was one of the comedians that was featured in the VH one Scariest Movies TV show, Oh Bully? W was.

I? That must have been a later one, Chris, Come on, Josh, we're allowed to have opinions here. Last time I.

Chacked No, not a free country. All right, let's go to the next one.

Very quickly.

We will be finding out that Godzilla in nineteen ninety nine not allowed to like it.

The last well, I shouldn't say like this, but the last two of like the really big news of the week are the next two actually, so first up one that we've been waiting for for a long time. February twenty fourth, Synaps is releasing Tag the Assassination Game from nineteen eighty two on Blu Ray for the first time ever. This is a big deal. We got Nick Castle on

Yeah, never heard of it. Sounds interesting though. I like everything I'm seeing on the screen. It seems like a really interesting package to provide to everybody. Yeah, that they're giving everybody more than just the movie, because some of these have been just the movie, and it's like, you know, we're gonna spend all this time and effort to do this. It'd be nice to have more than just the movie.

Right. For those that have never heard of this or seen of this, it says the rules of Tag are simple. Players try to murder each other using rubber tipped toy dark gumps. If you are shot, you are killed and taken out of the game permanently until only one player remains. Unfortunately, for this year's Tag players, one sore loser is determined to win at any cost, even if it means murdering his competition for real.

I do like that. On the box, it says rub out your friends.

That that is the point of the tug in cheek marketing constantly on the movie channel the early eighties, says Robert Hubbard. And yes, Linda Hamilton, a young Linda Hamilton is in this one.

That is not on the camera or on the poster right there.

The artwork. Yeah, this is not the John ham Tag movie, which is also very good, except for the ending is very weird in that movie. Sam says, why only two K. It's because the materials aren't great. It's just archival vault materials, not the negative, not an interpositive.

Sadly, what a wild concept for a movie, though, sounds interesting.

Yeah, I'm eager to check this one out. And then one of the biggest piles of announcements that we've had in a while, Synaps and Red Shirt has revealed some artwork and details on some of their upcoming releases. So let's talk about Fright Night two coming on four K with a new Dolby Vision Master supervised the DP. This is gonna have these three new artwork options. This was shared by Michael Felscher over on the Dead Pit Radio show.

Question answer original Street Trash, Yes.

The original Street Trash the only good Street Trash. The new one is hot garbage.

Okay, I haven't seen it, so I can't comment, but I'm just making sure because now we have to clarify so because the titles film is the same.

Yes, and I hate that pattern that we find ourselves.

Me too, Yeah, I was gonna say you beat me to the punch on that one.

Any thoughts on any of the other films Franken Nooker Promnaie Dead Heat Hearts of Darkness.

In Trance of Darkness definitely sounds like something I'd be interested to watch. In terms of it being a film documentary. Franken Hooker is Frank Kennon Lauder. Never seen Franken Hooker, but I have some very close friends that loved that movie and own the last release of it.

I own multiply. Frank It's so good.

Never seen it, have never seen.

But same with the second, third, fourth Fright Night movies. Like the original affair amount didn't see the original until after I saw the remake, which I think you're going to agree with this. The remake A Street of the remake of Fright Night's pretty good.

It is. It is very good, actually is it is quite.

Good remakes that like actually exceeds what the original was doing in some capacities.

Yes, although I still prefer the original, but oh yeah, yeah, yeah.

I get that. But I mean, like I think the remake did some things better than the original did in terms of being scary and actually like leaning into the vampire where a vampire can be that it'll make sense and be like logical.

Yeah.

Yeah, Like the Las Vegas of it all was like so smart, like that was such a fun smart thing. And Colin Farrell as a as a proper right nasty vampire is great. And yeah, the David Tennant character I think for me was my exposure to David Tennant before I saw Doctor Who even so yeah, I love that Fright Night remake.

And Anton Yelchin.

I know you and I are, you know, big fans of Anton Yelchin obviously rest in peace.

So I also gotta say David Tennant made a lot of really great choices. I've liked him in so many things.

Yeah, I mean, maybe not flicking his tongue all those times in Harry Potter, but you know, I.

Mean, yeah, yeah, we don't look at people. We don't look at much about Harry Potter without a little bit of cringe nowadays.

So well, you know what they say, We'll be able to watch more Harry Potter stuff and it not be as problematic, right, Just kidding?

Moving on anyways. Next up April twenty first, we are getting a four K release from Cult Epics of Girls, a film by Just Jakin. This is from nineteen eighty and you can choose from a pink slipcover or a blue slip cover and this is going to have a four K transfer from the original negative. HDR is included on this. We got an audio commentary by Jeremy Richie. There's an audio commentary on the blu ray as well.

In person, have never even heard of him before.

That's what I planned for. Check it out. I like a lot of stuff that Cold Epex does. This is one release that I'm excited to get, that's for sure. Next up, we've got from cartoon Logic, which is going to be a line from classic flicks. They're putting out the Famous Studios Champion collection. This covers from nineteen forty three to nineteen fifty and has a bunch of her original release animation on here. We've got no mutton for nutting the henpecked rooster. Suddenly it's spring, a lamb and

Yeah, no, I was going to say, just the just the cover alone is enticing. I'm a huge fan of classic animation as well, lots of fan of techs Avery Ruben Fleisher type stuff. Yeah, I'm right there with you. Next up, Oh my god, but man, talk about a transition.

We all listening to your friend Billy's ame, He's cool guy.

We are getting a four K and Blu Ray release of Keno Lober or Sorry from Keno Lober of The Phantom from nineteen ninety six. We get a brand new HDR Dolby Vision Master from a four K scan of the original negative approved by the director. New audio commentary by the director, moderated by Douglas Hoggsdale on the Blu Ray. We've also got all those same extras, plus a new interview with Billie z Aye. That's all just half an hour long, new interview with the composer David Newman, and trailer.

The Phantom, The Shadow, the Rocketeer are all movies I adore because I feel like that's a good triple feature because they're all weird nineties a nachronistic superheroes that are from a you know, time gone past, that are these you know, pulp pulp pulp comics that no, I mean in the nineties. The people that were watching them had been exposed to them as kids.

But it's like it's.

Such a strange, it's such a strange thing to me that this movie exists. Same like The Shadow same like, I mean The Rocketeer similarly, I mean, I'm a huge fan of the Rocketeer, but I'm also a huge fan of The Phantom and the Shadow. Yeah, I think didn't Billy Zane do some additional special feature stuff on that Demon Night release that came out a couple of years ago. Seems like Billy Zaane is like a I think he did. I think Billy Zanne seems like he's a good arbiter of things.

Thankfully, well he is. He still does a ton of cons too. He's much everywhere.

He does, and he was the absolute funniest part of that Sherlock and Watson movie that came out a couple of years ago.

I never saw it, but that doesn't surprise me. No.

I like Billy Zane in The Phantom. He's really good, and so is Treat Williams. Rest in Peace.

Yeah. We had a comment saying I sadly missed the recent screaming of The Fantom with Billy Zane in person that happened last year. I'd go watch The Fantom with Billy Zane and see a Q and a hell.

Yeah, that was like his moment to shine the Phantom. And I'm always kind of bummed that we don't live in a universe where the Phantom was a bigger deal, like and you know, Billy Zane went.

On to wel franchise.

Yeah, well, I mean, you know, I don't think it was that far away. You know, The Rocketeer had things made afterwards, sort of. The Shadow never did. Shadow has one of the best pinball machines ever made associated with it.

You see this. My friend, my friend Stan was on the set of The Rocketeer. Jealous.

I only ever got to.

One of my bucket list things I did for the Culture cast was getting to interview Billy Campbell, the guy who played the Rocketeer.

I got to interview him and.

He had his bouncing baby boy on his lap because it was like twelve in the morning in Iceland or wherever the hell he lives, and it was one of those pinch me moments because he was a super super cool guy, super nice, great sport about things. I don't know, Like, it was one of those moments where I was like.

I wish everybody I interviewed was like this, So I have a.

Lot of nice things to say about the Rocketeer, and from the sounds of it, Billy Zane's a good dude.

Zuelander had it right.

I would agree. Yeah. Next up, just an overall reminder that this weekend is the end of voting for the Shelf Shocked Rewind Awards. The thirty first is your last time to get your votes in. The length to vote is just now put in the chat. Make sure if you click that you pull up in another screen and you can vote for the best physical media releases of

As if this man isn't busy enough.

More releases out of Australia. The Exorcism of Emily Rose getting a Blu ray release on March twenty fifth from Via Vision. This has all of the same extras that have been on the previous releases of this film. It's just coming out out of Australia. It's gonna have a three D lenticular hard case and some art cards with it. How did you feel about the Exorcism of Emily Rose. I feel like this is a movie you definitely saw early on.

I was gonna say, I'd like to address the fact that term lenticular does not get used enough anymore. I do like a good lenticular. I'm sure you use it a lot on this show.

Now, I was gonna say, I'd love some more lenticular cases. Let's do it. Get some more out there.

Yeah, I Exorcism of Emily Rose. Yeah saw it.

I believe I saw this in theaters because this is what five so I would have been fifteen.

Uh oh yeah.

Yeah yeah, so yeah, saw this in theaters. I'm I'm a fan of Jennifer Carpenter. She's a you know, as a Dexter fan. That's kind of the this Exorcism of Emily Rose or this Dexter and Reck are like the you know, the big Jennifer Carpenter things. So I don't know, I actually think this is a pretty good exorcism movie.

A good call from Terry. Terry says, nobody ever does movies about guys getting exorcisms.

Well, Mike Flannagan's got an opportunity.

He won't take it. No.

I also believe that movie that Mike Flanagan is making is just called the Exorcist, so in keeping with the things that filmmakers keep doing that we don't.

Like, right, uh yeah, So check out the Exorcismmenally Rose. And if you're picking that up and you go, you know what. I love the Saw movies. Pick up Saw four on four K out of Australia from Via Vision as well, coming out on the same day. Once again all the same extras. They did not get anything new for these, but the blu ray is the unrated cut. The four K is the theatrical cuts. There is no four K elements for the unrated cut, which is why we don't ever get a UHD of that one. Just

Paul, what kind of cereal were you eating.

Australian pulse from Australia. That's wow. They get special things that we don't get. Hell yeah, they must Jake. You get a shout out earlier, of course, says I remember hearing good things about this Exorcism movie. It's good. It's a it's a talkie movie, that's for sure, but I still recommend it.

I think Exorcist movies are one of those things where, like.

The Posts Exorcist is a wild movie, the Exorcist movies like the bar was set so high it's kind of hard to ever get to that point again with so many of these. The franchise itself never got back there. Like, you know, the Exorcist is such a watershed moment for film.

You know, the Exorcist three is.

I love the exorcistree, but the Exorcist three is not the Exorcist.

It's just not that that is true, but technically it's it's like one of the best sequels of all time.

I agree.

I agree with you that I and I like both cuts of that movie. Even you know what's not a great sequel, softfour, that's the this is this is where Rigs gets kidnapped, right and believe. So, yeah, this is like I love the Saw movies. I did a back in the day before what three more of now come out? We did all of the original run of those Saw movies as an episode on the Culture Cast.

It was like a two parter.

Each side, each side or each you know, was part one, Part two was like four and a half five hours because we had interviews with people from the movies.

So I've seen them all.

The fourth one, I think is one of the weaker ones in a overall really strong franchise of movies. Uh, the fifth one surprisingly may be my favorite, and that's a late Saw movie.

That's Saw six is one of my favorites for sure.

Saw six, Okay, Saw five is one of mine. With Peter Outerbridge and he's being put it's like similar to four. I think it's actually it has more in common with four. I think five just does what four is trying to do a little bit better, you know, the capturing of someone and having them go through a bunch of different tests as opposed to you know, one person and then

I'll blame the wife. We wanted to rewatch all of them and we just did not get to them yet. I truly love every single Saw movie. You know, Spiral doesn't count because it's not it's from the book of Saw. It's not a Saw movie. But all the other ones, even the worst of them. I saw most of them on opening night with my wife Laura. Laura loves I believe all of these and even enjoy we all. We

Yes, so I was gonna say, man, like you beat me too. It's Saw ten. I think might be one of the most surprising movies I've seen in a long time, not because of what it is, but because it drug a franchise back from the not the brink.

Saw was in the proverbial.

Film like timeout zone, kind of like Friday the Thirteenth and Nightmare on Elm Street are like Saw was in the no no zone because of the franchise kind of you know, really pissing on the goodwill of the franchise of like the fans and Saw ten Man was just so so so good Saw Yeah. So, I mean, if you haven't seen Saw ten, you don't even really need to watch any of the other Saw movies to appreciate Saw ten. Like, genuinely, I think it gives which rough

Uh yeah, They're all great. I love the franchise. Let's keep going. Anaconda we talked about this earlier, coming on March seventeenth. In this four case steal book a standard Blu ray and a DVD from Sony. This is gonna have a Dolby Vision HDR and Dolby atmost. It will have some outtakes and bloopers, deleted extended scenes, a ride

Can I ask why they made Jack Black look like this on the cover?

Which part they just make him look huge? That's true, it's odd. And Jack Black is not that big anymore. No, he's not.

He wasn't that big in the movie. All right. If I'm not allowed to like Godzilla in nineteen ninety nine, you're not allowed to like Anaconda. But so that's the line that's been drawn here in the sand, also in all Jesus, in all caps, I mean it was fine.

It's an impassioned plea.

I guess, yeah, Jesus Christ, it's talking about another movie whose title has to be clarified once again, because now this is just called Anaconda, just like the originals called Anaconda.

So Anonda twenty five.

Yeah, And to be fair, this this cover art is not great, like just overall the.

What exactly do you mean?

I scroll up to the snake is what I'm getting at?

Well, that too, but great, it's an.

Anaconda movie and you have one sixteenth of the posters the Anaconda really.

Well, not only that, you have a little big like eight is a bore.

The pig is bigger than the Anaconda is.

But I mean look, the pig is the pig is in.

I would say the pig is in the funny that the pig is in the funniest scene in the movie. If the movies, if the movie had sustained that scene's comedy, both physical comedy and like dialogue based comedy, that the movie would be like Minecraft in Jumanji. And I think maybe it didn't hit with me the way it should have hit with other people. And clearly, you know, friend of my show, friend of your show, Josh, or Toato Big,

Yeah, I still need to see it, that's for sure. I don't know.

I think you and your kids would like it.

It's like a fun family movie.

Yeah, that's that's yeah, Josh is right, that's it's for an Anacon. It's like it's like the Anaconda movie of the It's like Batman in the Dark Knight Rises, It's like he's in it.

But like you see Stevens comment, why did I give all my lost weight to see Gi Jack?

It looks like someone took a tire pump to him. If I was Jack Black, I would be so upset that this is what they put out with me on it, Like Jesus dude.

Like the crazy thing. He approved this, like he had to approve it.

I know that's it. I know, I know it's I would be like, dude, what the hell were you thinking? Like this?

And what the movie did we botch?

That's the other thing. And you know again like if you've seen the movie, you know, like the movie's not this serious, like this is a this is a fun ostensibly a fun movie, Like what movie are you advertising here? Like I don't think they knew how to advertise the movie. And I think that happens when you have a meta concept that you really have to spend a little bit of time getting the audience up to kind of speed on. So I said, I think this will find its audience

He's stuck in the studio.

Where's Where's Steve Zon and Thandy Newton? They're in this movie as much as Paul Rudd and Jack blackhar So.

Not only that their names aren't even on the coach No I know wild part.

Yeah, that was more surprising for me, Like, Okay.

All right, h next up Eureka Just this Morning. Announced April twenty seventh over in the UK, April twenty eighth, Here in North America, a blu ray box set of adventure Carl May at CCC discovers from nineteen sixty four to sixty eight. And this has a bunch of films in this. This sounds really great. This is a bunch of defa Westerns, and I kind of really want to see these limited addition to two thousand, we've got a

I like westerns a fair amount.

I was my father is a big Louis Lamore guy, so I grew up around those. I never really read them, but he was always kind of pushing me to read them. And I know he's a huge Western guy, so I watched a lot of Western cinema growing up. I love Westerns, you know, I don't know, I just love Westerns. I love most, if not all, kinds of Western or Western

It depends on when and where they're from. The big thing for me is they definitely get samy over time, so I certainly have to break them apart like a box set like this would be tough for me to like binge through. But them being from Germany for the most part and from the Difa production studio I'm very curious in seeing these. I've been checking out more DIFA films lately, so it's exciting. I'm glad these are all

I have seen stuff from him, but I have not seen this. I think at one point in the past when I was on your show, there was another release of this.

That was that could be, that could be? Uh, And I agree, Jim, Yeah, I'm gonna I'm gonna have to get this at some point. It looks just wonderful and that art looks really great too.

I was gonna say the art, the art is enticing in and of itself, like you know.

Would you say it's reaching for you? Is all right? Next up another UK only release, Curzone putting out on March sixteenth, a four K Blu ray and even a DVD release of Alpha from last year. This is the Julia ducarneaut film from the director of Raw and Titan. This is going to be a two disc four K and Blu ray release. If you buy the four K one,

I have not Raws, the the Raws, the cannibal one.

Yeah, cannibalism at a veterinary school. Yes, that's right.

I heard about it. It's on on the list, but I have not.

I think you should. I think you'd really like Raw.

Yeah, that's kind of why it was on my list. I'm a cannibalism guy.

So have you heard what Titan is? Because you might be a Titan guy after this.

I have, but I wait for you to tell me so.

In Titan, our main character is in a car accident very early in the film and is traumatized by it. And about fifteen minutes into the film, she suddenly fucks a car and later in the movie gives birth to a baby that is part metal.

Yep, right, you could have.

You could have left even less out of that and just said she fucks a car and I would have been there.

Yep, you should. You should check it out. It's very good rocket soundtrack on that one too, you'd like it. Next up, Filmmasters has put out some information that we're going to cover over the next couple titles now available. This is something that just flew past me. They've got a Blu ray DVD out of the Sin of Nora Moran from nineteen thirty three. This is going to have a stunning HDU restoration from a four case scan of

Depending on your definition of fuck, it might be the same way.

Two sche next up from them. This one's also available now. Hercules and the Captive Women from nineteen sixty one. This is available now, no extras. This is a BDR as well. I know that some people will be turned off by that, but there's no real reason anymore. BDRs are very high quality. In twenty twenty six, you'll be fine. Yeah, looks looks like a fun release. I've not heard of this one.

Is it a sexy movie?

I don't think so, it says. Originally released in nineteen sixty one in Italy, it is the updated US version release for audiences in sixty three. Here follow the Chronicles of Hercules with Reg Park and his Hercules film debut, action packed from the start, Hercules encounters ish Men when he must save her from a shape shifting creature, and

We just looked like it.

I guess they're just trying to give you an enticing poster to get in the seed. I'm sure guess hell yeah, all right? Next up. Filmmasters have revealed some dates of some upcoming releases. The Black Raven February, Bombs Over Burma February, the rest of these March. We got The Little Princess, The Snows of Kilimanjaro, Our Town, Dancing Pirate, The North Star, and Reefer Madness. All of those are gonna have no special features, but they will be a two K or

What a pivot.

From The Dancing Pirate to Lesbian Space Princess.

You said the same thing twice I did.

This is gonna have a director's commentary, animatic scenes, magic trick reference, video auditions, outtake clips to leave it scene and some more. This didn't get an Australian Blu ray release, and so this will be a cheaper way to check out this film if you were into it. I've heard nothing but pretty great things about this I am curious to check it out, especially because there is something in this movie called dick Zilla. Nice dick Villa.

I'm here for it.

Good to know. Moving right along from dick Zilla to the Second Twin April seventh, getting a blu ray from Keeno Obra. The Second Twin will have a new audio commentary by Simon Abrams. This is from a four K restoration by Studio Canal and that is April seventh. Yeah, oh, Lesbian Space Princess from Umbrella has the soundtrack CD nice. I didn't know that one. Next up from Keena Larber House of Cards with George Pepard. This is coming on

George Papard, who doesn't love Banichick?

It's a great question, good question.

Who even knows what Banichick? Is?

A better question?

I don't I know. I figured it as much. Next, Oh, Mike, these this is some like filmic motion and sickness. Here, I'm getting whiplash from these movies my quality.

Stone Cold Action nineteen ninety one's Stone Cold coming to four K from keel Over on April twenty. First, you've got two different cover art options there. This one is wild. We've got a new scene specific commentary by the director Craig R. Baxley. That's a big deal. We also have a brand new interview with William Forsyth on this.

I love this movie.

Tell me why.

I mean, it's Brian Bosworth. It's insanity. Like for those of you who don't know who Brian Bosworth was, he was a football player from Ou who then was essentially known for just kind of being a shithead, and so that launched him into fame and stardom of the variety of this kind. Yeah, if you don't buy this alternate cover art, what are you.

Doing with yourself?

Like this is the fact that they even allowed this to get made is so good. Like Jesus Christ just blowing up the capitol. This is yeah. This this, this, this alternate cover art is truly oh yeah, Brian Bosworth. Not a great actor. Good looking guy, got a good look to him, like you know, he has the you know, he's got that look. I mean, he's got a look to him. But he's just not a great actor because he's an athlete, and not every athlete is a good actor. You know, just you're.

Not necessarily going to be good at everything.

We talked about this the other day, like you you can't expect everybody's gonna be good at everything, that is true.

Have you seen Stone Cold?

Uh years ago? I barely remember it. I do have the Blu ray, so I definitely don't need the four K.

But it's goot Lance Hendrickson in it.

It does, it absolutely does. All right, carr on to Remo Williams, The adventure begins. This is coming on April fourteenth on four K and Blu Ray from Keno Larber New HDR Dolby Vision Master. On this one, new commentary by film journalist Brandon strusnig we all. We've also got a new interview with Patrick Kilpatrick all kinds of archival featurettes on here. There's an archival commentary as well. Remo Williams, have you seen this one?

I could listen to you say Remo Williams over and over and over again. I've never seen Remo Williams The Adventure, fred Ward. Yeah, I've never seen it.

You should. It's it's worth watching. It's pretty good. It is quite funny, fun movie. Yeah, not much else to say about.

It looks funny, love fred Ward.

The Adventure also ended Steffino.

It began and with that it was over.

Next up Keno releasing a DVD only on April seventh of Mister Nobody Against Putin, The Oscar nominated Best Documentary Feature, Mister Nobody Against Putin getting a DVD only release in twenty twenty six. Why are we doing this, Keno Lber.

Do they not have Blu ray and four K players in Russia?

Is that why?

I have a feeling not many copies of this film are going to end up in Russia. Uh, not for lack of trying, maybe, but for a lack of customs.

I was about to say, would you like an Operation Dumbo Drop style thing antenor releasing sponsoring a DVD drop over the country of Russia?

Operation DVD Drop good?

Yeah, Yeah, that's what our yearly donation thing will be called. When we donate DVDs to the local people's operation DVD Drop.

And of course we're gonna buy Keno Lber DVDs to drop them in.

It is wild that they're releasing a What in your mind, as the physical media guy, why are they releasing a DVD in twenty twenty.

Six because they're cheap? Because they think that documentaries won't sell well, that's probably one of the one of the reasons, which is an odd choice considering documentaries do pretty well. Yeah, anyways, next up, Keena Larib also releasing a Blu ray, not a DVD only of this one March twenty fourth Blu ray of House Calls from nineteen seventy selling Walter Mathow,

I'm more of a Jack Lemon guy, but that's because he was in Glengarry Glenn Ross.

But I love Walter Mathow and Jack.

Lemon understandable and mister a fat man not an insult. That's the YouTube name says. DVD still outsell Blu ray and this is a very niche title. While technically DVD's outsell Blu rays, that is most because they're selling DVDs only at places like Walmart, where people walk through and go, oh, they made that movie, we should buy it on DVD. The people that are buying stuff from Keena Laarber I primarily only buying Blu ray. I absolutely think they could have done that.

Uh.

Matth Own Jackson have totally wonderful chemistry like they did in Hopscotch. I will watch anything well with Walter math Out in it.

I think, well, I was gonna say, there's that like Pirate movie with Walter Mathow that's not great, So maybe don't watch that one.

I think you mean, don't watch that one again? Yeah?

Valid?

Uh Next up more Keena Larber April twenty eighth, A Blu ray of Nightlife coming on Blu Ray. I already said that from nineteen eighty nine, this isn't made for TV movie. We get a brand new HD master from a two K scan of the interpositive new audio commentary by Amandarees of course, new audio commentary by David del Val and Peter Sawyer. Anything made for TV and mandarea should be on And this looks like really solid release.

Amanda Rea is she is, she is that she is the pre eminent expert on TV TV films.

Absolutely yeah.

Had we had her on the Colchak uh Colchak tapes a very long time ago to talk about Colechak and that was my first introduction to her, and she is. Yeah, She's fantastic and so so amazingly knowledgeable and just, I don't know, one of the one of the I mean, one of the best people in terms of keeping the TV film conversation alive, which is not easy. I mean, you know.

Yeah.

Also Mariam Diabo Bond Girl, everybody not Bond Girl, the more memorable ones unfortunately, but I wonder why, well, Living Daylights wasn't everybody's you know, wasn't everybody's bag. I get it, that's true.

That's true. Uh. Next up the last Keno lber And asked of a very last few minutes for US April twenty eighth, Blu Ray, coming of a wonderfully title film, The Man who Reclaimed His Head from nineteen thirty four, which I mean it makes sense it was his so yeah, starring Claude Rains Joan Bennett. Also in this one, we got a new audio commentary by David Delvell. Another new audio commentary by Troy Howarth. I'm very curious to see this one nineteen thirty four. This looks good.

I mean I like the name.

Yeah looks good. Absolutely good. Poster two. Only a few more left for this week. Next up, the next wave. The next wave is Criterion coming out in the UK. I'm glad that they're getting these. It sucks that they can't get all of them, so I feel bad for everybody that won't get all of them. Yeah, these look good. We've got The Blade coming, We've got Trouble at Paradise coming, and we've got Gilda coming. The Blade is April thirteenth,

I have not.

Uh. I am needing to pick up all three of these. Very very curious to check us out when they get the US release first before they go to the UK. Yeah, looks good. Next up, Death Stalker is coming to Blu Ray on February seventeenth from Raven Banner in Canada. This is the Brandy twenty twenty five Death Stoker. Have we talked about Stephen Kostanski before? I feel like we have.

Psycho Gorman, right, Psycho Gorman and The Void. Yeah, love Psycho Gorman, Love The Void. I want to say I did an episode on The Void on the Culture Cast a couple of years ago and got to talk to at least one of the actors that was in it.

So do you still have a contact with that person? I might, We might need to talk about that. Because The Void does not have an active Blu ray release at the moment, I need to get in contact with him.

I love The Void, that movie is I do too. Psycho Gorman. I mean, Psycho Gorman is also a lot of fun. They're just two very different kinds of fun.

I would say, yes, yes, not only two kinds of fun, but too. I don't know, it's kind of wild that they came from the same group. Absolutely love both movies. Psycho Gorman is a blast, but The Void I don't know for what it was. It is special that they were able to make it, especially being a crowd fun movie. It's incredible.

Yeah. I actually interviewed Aaron Pooley from The Void, nice the main actor. Yeah, Yeah, The Void is amazing, and it is wild to me that The Void and Psycho Gorman are the same people, because yeah, the tones of those movies are so discordant with one another. So I have not seen this movie. Though this movie looks more Psycho Gorman than anything else.

Maybe it does. I've been dying to see this. I know josh ur Toato is a big defender of this one. I had wanted to see this, However, I don't think played in theaters near here last year, which made me very sad because this was this was playing when I was going to theaters, and so the fact that I don't think they played AMC's was the big thing. I am very, very curious to see what the future of this film is for the people, but I need to see it. I like the original Desktoker. I think it's

Yeah, if you have not seen enough of Astron six's stuff, Manborg is also I mean Manborg is completely out of its mind. But I will mention I think for me, the Astron six thing that I really like is the editor. The editor. The editor is out of control. I mean, all of Astron six's stuff is very interesting and different and fun, and yeah, I would I would check out. If you're a fan of any of these movies, go check out all of their movies because they all have

So do I think this will get a four K asked Scott. No, absolutely not. I think if it was going to get one, it already would have gotten a long time ago. The reality is it probably will not sell very well, and that's one of the main reasons why they're not choosing to put it on four K. Four K is so expensive. It's just it's just not worth it if you're not going to sell thousands and thousands and thousands of copies generally, that's the hard part.

Well, you know what, maybe the next Kuma te will sell well because you know, possibly isn't Daniel Bernhard that's the lead in this movie, right, the next.

Thing it is? Yeah, yep, all right. Two more from Raven Banner in Canada. One is The Autopsy of Jane Doe. This is now available with this brand new limited edition slipcover from Raven Banner. All the extras of the same or as their previous release. The only thing that's different is this new fancy artwork limited to five hundred I think on the slipcover. Maybe maybe that's just the next one. I'm not sure, but the next one definitely is limited.

And the last one I was gonna say, by the way, this movie is amazing. Yeah, this Orridal is an amazing director. The Last Voyage of the Demeter a pretty fun movie. I don't know if you saw it, but I actually enjoyed that. It's it's essentially alien on a boat. But you know, okay, nothing wrong with that. Where's its you know, it's kind of where where's its influences on its sleeve?

Especially for the price that they paid for that film.

God, and he wrote and directed that movie. That's the thing that always like like like makes me just like so impressed by him as a director and a writer, is that he wrote and directed that movie too. Like that movie's stunning and scary stories to tell in the dark.

It is great, truly great. Yeah, all right, last one for the week, also from Raven Banner. They are doing Curbo Kid with this brand new, amazing limited edition slip cover that is a wild piece of cover.

Earp my lord.

This one limited to only five hundred. And this one's kind of interesting because, yes, we've had many releases of this film, but I believe the blu rays getting kind of hard to find if I remember right, So this might be the cheapest way to pick up this movie. Right now. Everybody should own Turbo Kid. You have you seen Turbo Kid? I have not, Dude, this is very much a Chris movie. You would like this, Yeah, I think it's been.

It's been on my Plex server forever now. Literally, I have scrolled past it plenty of times, so I know that it's it's definitely it looks like my kind of thing. I mean, you know, just like astron six is stuff like sometimes I can just look at something and go, this is gonna be my kind of thing.

So yep, yep, I think you would love it. Good movie. Check it out if you are into it. But since that was the last announcement, let's talk about what's coming out next week on Tuesday. In case you forgot, We've got Friday the Thirteenth Part two, four K three ten to UMA four K. That's the original coming from Criterion, Osgoode Perkins Keeper coming on four K. The wide release of Severn's exer Seismobox that that was mentioned in the

Yeah, dude, Yes, I'm gonna ask if you mod paw Kettle. Bro. I don't remember what it was, but as a child, I watched something on VHS that had an advertisement for mon Pot Kettle on VHS and I always wanted to know what in God's name mon pot Kettle was. And I never took it upon myself as oh, oh wow, but mon pot Kettle. Folks, if you're a fan, it's coming your way. Ten years of mon pot Kettle.

Yeah, Friday the Thirteenth, Part two looks incredible on four K, says Josh. I agree, Terry. Terry's asking. Is Belania getting a four K release? Probably not. I will say, did you and I talk about the Letterbox Shenanigans this week? Me? Yeah?

No.

So you know, you know about this Malania documentary that Amazon made right it's going to thes right now.

Life. She's a great woman. Yes, I know all about Donald Trump's wife's documentary. Unfortunate.

So somebody yesterday went into TMDb, which is where Letterbox gets all of their information for films from, and changed out the poster to a graffiti poster. And so for a good few hours last night, the Letterbox viewing of Milania had a picture that said Donald Trump, Fox kids on it.

Wow.

Well, first off, yes, and secondly that's funny. So wow. I mean, you know what, kudos to someone for doing social activism for even a couple hours on a website so many of us use all the time.

It wasn't one of us, though.

No, it was not wild that it happened, and it was wild all right. Carrying on with what's coming out next week, We've got the High Low Country from Keno Larber. Last Foxtrotten Burbank coming from Full Moon. Uh, Chris, have you heard a last fox Trotten Burbank? I have not written by one John Carpenter.

I know that name.

He doesn't like Chevy Chase, ten Rillington Place coming from this.

We've seen ten Rlington Place.

Uh, I believe I half watched it. I don't think I've finished it.

It's really good. Richard Attenborough in that movie is amazing. I know most people know him, I mean like most you know, filmgoers who have only seen you know, like popular things know him as John Hammond from Jurassic Park. But he is so good at ten Rlington Place, Like if you've never seen him in anything else and you want to see him as a total creep, Ten Rillington Place is definitely a place to start for sure.

Yeah, Keino or not Quino sorry. Full Moon's Noir collection is coming out next week. We've got Garden of Love from OnEarth Films, a couple stand Editions from Anto Macabre, and then if you want, the Fifty Shades movies coming together on four K in a three film box set for the first time ever. My big thing for next week is the extra Sizmo box set. I cannot wait to get that in.

Yes, Friday thirteenth from the one that's down there, that's Friday in thirteen from two thousand and nine.

Yes, it is the standard edition coming from Aero Video Oka. They had released that previously on four K. Now it's just the standard coming.

So that's the remake and is the remake with the Jason that runs?

Yes?

Interesting?

How do you feel We've never talked about that movie. How do you feel about that movie?

I really like the remake of Friday the thirteenth. I think it is a very well made remake.

I agree it it. It does a better job of being a remake than that Nightmare on Elm Street movie does, which came out what like the year early, year after year later. Yeah, Well, because that Nightmare movie had so many good actors in it too, just like just like the Friday one did well.

And I don't think Jackie Early hate Jackie Earl Haley was bad in the remake. No, the writing though was atrocious.

Well, I go back to the one thing in that remake they should have done, which is there's that moment where they're at the school and it's like and behind this is where he would take us, and it's like that moment should have been reveal.

There's nothing there.

They killed an innocent man, and that makes this so much more interesting as a story and said it was like, and there is the sexual assault cave where he was doing all that, and it's just like the original, except they actually lean into the reality of it as opposed to avoiding it due to the things at the time, like they had an opportunity to do something different. The thing that I like about that Friday the Thirteenth movie is it is a different kind of Friday the Thirteenth movie,

So it's true. Yeah, I really like that. I really wanted them to have more in that universe. I would have loved to have them continue with it.

I mean they ended the tam movie on a cliffhanger, so right. Yeah, and yeah, I would agree with with Jim, like the remake is better than a lot of those like sequels. You know, some of those Friday sequels are.

Not great.

Yeah, I I don't know. I'm not taking the time to like properly rank the big of the like the slasher franchises anytime recently, because my thoughts on those change a lot. But I don't think Friday the thirteenth has ever even been like top one or two for me ever.

No, same.

I think for me.

It's still probably Nightmare and probably Nightmare and Scream like one and two really, like if you even want to put those in the ability to rank them in the same thing, because I'm not sure they are. Like I watch Scream, I just think, oh, this is just like a murder mystery every time I watch it. Now, Like this isn't even a horror movie anymore, Like it's you know, which is fine, but like the things you're talking about, Yeah, Friday is nowhere near the top for me.

Yeah, I was thinking more of like the classic eighties and seventies and eighties once Halloween.

Careful, don't say nineties.

No, well I was. You got to say seventies and eighties because Halloween started in the seventies. So that's the big thing, is Halloween. It's probably Halloween Nightmary and Elm Street, Friday the thirteenth, and then maybe Texas chainsaw'm Masker or or hell Raiser one of those two, although hell Raiser isn't really a slasher.

I mean, I think hell Raiser's in there.

I think for me it would be Nightmare, hell Raiser, Texas, Chainsaw, Halloween, Friday the thirteenth.

I don't think hell Raiser could be in my top three because of how bad those movies get.

Yeah, but the first two, the first one is first one is amazing. That's the the first one is so good. I understand that there's all those other subsequent sequels that stink, but that first movie is just a banger of a movie, and it's I love the first three. Yeah, oh no, I'm with you, like but I mean, I'm willing to say the first three just like you are. But I know a lot of people have a lot of problems with the second one, and the third one is where

So yeah, I'm with you. Friday the thirteenth.

There's not a franchise that I gravitate towards as a horror fan, so that might be sacrilege, but you know someone else is going to put Halloween lower or Nightmare lower, and I might have similar feelings about that, So I get it. We resonate with some of these characters and franchises more strongly than others. So no answer is incorrect, unless, of course, yeah, I don't know there's nothing, because I don't think there's any incorrect answer.

Everything is someone's favorite.

Look at this branding. All right, let's talk about video game adaptations overall. How do you feel about video game adaptations? Why is this an interesting topic for you?

I think that the public sentiment on video game adaptations is kind of I wouldn't say changed as of recent, but I think it's definitely had a weird wrench thrown into it because in the last let's say five years, let's call it since Detective Pikachu or depending on your frame of reference, Sonic the Hedgehog, video game movies have had a weird resurgence and a weird kind of reappraisal.

The golden age of video game adaptations is kind of.

Upon us now, and it's really TV where video games are being well adapted.

Like okay, so long.

Form formatting of it, I think is a little bit more beneficial to video games, especially more broad, expansive world building video games like Last of Us.

I absolutely was going to mention this because my list was very difficult to even make a favorite five. I came up with four, and I was like, well, I remember like in the first one for the most part, less so that it is number five.

I guess I'm in combat as your number five.

Yes, I mean, I'm sorry.

No, I mean just the way you said it. I mean, there's like very little other things that that could even be in reference to.

It's actually not mortal combat. That's the funny part. Wow shocking, But yeah, TV is where a lot of these are like actually turning in prestige. I hate to use the word content, but like that's where a lot of it is coming in. Is when you're giving time to something like Fallout and you're giving you know, Pedro Pascal the ability to be something that people fall in love with for two seasons so far, it's it's gonna be better

Just peer no no, And you know, as someone who has played video games mostly is entire life and loves I mean loves video games. When you and I are done, I'll probably decompresse by playing something for an hour.

You know. Sometimes that's just the way I am.

Like, that's something I need, is that decompression point to do something fun, and that for me. I like working out a lot, I like being active a lot. But I also like sitting with my friends in gaming because that's a thing that we can still do as a group of friends, even though we're all in disparate parts of the country. So I still game a lot. And I, you know, as someone who games a lot, like want want the things that I love to be respected the way film is respected by people that come to film.

Right. So I'm curious if you could see three video games turned into movies that you love. What three are you on in green Light tomorrow?

I would love to actually see a great Assassin's Creed video game film, like and just don't base it on any of the video games. Do your own goddamn thing. Maybe don't even have it be obvious that's an Assassin's Creed thing until towards the end, and then tie it into it, like do something that's not what they did already.

Here's the crazy part.

I actually like that Assassin's Creed movie. It's a wild movie, Like I don't really know what they were thinking. That's such a weird video game adaptation. And I'm a huge Fastbender guy, so that that was an easy layup for me. I think if you were to ask me that question about things that haven't been adapted, because I think for me, like, there are a lot of things where I'm like, I would love to see this person do this a different way, or someone do X, Y and Z a different way.

Right what about how I'm curious.

I understand that I never would have thought you'd say Rocket League. That's a fun idea, and now I kind of want to see that, Like.

Right, it's me so wild, like I from the market type of movie. Yeah, Like, I don't know why someone has like why that wasn't a thing that people weren't clamoring for when that became kind of a mild cultural touchstone for a couple of years Rocket League, Like, I

Just Call of Duty, right right, right, Yeah.

It's already doing that, Jack he is. I mean that's you know, what, in God's name? Is a Call of Duty movie going to look like every other action movie you've ever seen? Yeah, but what answer would you have if any I guess, I.

Mean it's kind of obvious at this point, but I would love to see a world made in BioShock. I'd love to see what that looks like properly done. I think you could do a lot with that. And the music was great, The visuals obviously would be great, but just the whole steampunk nature of it would serve film very well. It seems like a silly answer, but I think it is something like like Bully. I really loved the game Bully, Yeah, and I would love to see a movie based off of that.

Obviously, read a little bit, Ryan, that's a that's a deeper cut, that's a lesser Rockstar game.

It's one of my favorites. I love I love rock Star. I think that game was genuinely perfect. I think it would be really fun to watch. And supposedly they're they're teasing a possible like sequel or remaster or something coming up.

They've been talking about that forever, but I hope that they're going to do it. What if they did a Grand Theft Auto movie, but it was just like the Minecraft movie.

I mean, honestly, it could be fun because, like, take the sensibility of Minecraft and make it fully adult, make it like beating up hookers and shooting people in the face.

And yeah, it's kind of like West World. It would kind of be I mean kind of like fall Guy, right like or free Guy Free Guy? Is that a free Guy, which I mean like Free Guy was like again like Free Guy was kind of trapped in that. But I think it would be fun, Like I know, it's kind of that trope is overused, the like real person goes into the.

Video game, right like Grant.

I don't know how you would do a Grand Theft Auto movie unless you're just doing a Grand Theft Auto movie like a La Prima, like the actual way, like having it be set for real in that world and it following characters in that world and it's set in Los Santos or wherever, but it's it's at like Grand Theft Auto for real unless you do it that way, Like I don't know how you would do it any other way, really, Like it's.

Either that or that. Like same with Minecraft.

It's either it's set in the world for real or you have people coming in from out of the world and it being fish out of water, like how many times that it happen. The Super Mario movie, the original and the remake the animated both traffic in that even like because Mario's in his real world in that Mario movie.

Movie like no physical media.

By the way, buck let's we need to Oh ah see, here's the thing what the world needs. And this is what's fucking crazy. The world needs King of Kong two because I don't know, if you know what's happened in the subsequent years since the King of Kong. Billy May's or Billy May's or what that? What the fuck's the guy's name? Oh, Billy Mitchell, not Billy May's. I wish it was Billy Mays. They both lived in Florida. Billy Mitchell's been stripped of all of his titles. Yeah, I

This is the doorbell.

So your doorbells sounds like at your house?

Uh? Not not generally. What's up, Thomas, So let's get into it. Let's go into some of these titles. What is Uh? Did you rank yours? Are these just a listen?

Didn't rank?

Did you rank your? No? I I it was hard enough just to give a list of five that I liked. To give me. One of these five.

Ranking is as baby Billy Freeman would say, is for nerds.

So no, I'm not ranking anything.

Uh. One of mine, like I mentioned, is a more recent title, Five Nights at Freddy's. I loved that first Five Nights of Freddy's movies way better than has any right to be like. It just it hit. It hit for me at the right moment in the right way. I was covering Five Nights at Freddy's at the time for another podcast I was doing. We were talking about like like those kinds of YouTube, like analog horror things, and so we covered five Nights of Freddie's.

And so it just it was hitting.

On all cylinders. And I know it was kind of critically reviled. But the people that I knew that love Five Nights at Freddie's. The source material loved the movie. And so as far as I'm concerned, if the people who loved the source material love the movie, that's a success. And you know, damn the critics in some respects because they look they weren't amenable to it to begin with.

So whatever Five Nights of Freddie's. I thought it was pretty good. And Josh Hutcherson forever teenager, Josh Huttererson.

Is pretty good. And Matt Lillard, I mean, I'm a huge Matt Lillard, guys, I know you are.

So he's just not in it enough, that's the big thing.

But he's really not in and in the second one. So that's why the second one is not going to get mentioned other than if you saw the first one, you'll probably watch the second. But the second one is a lesser first one in a lot of ways. I don't think it's terrible. I know you were not a fan, but I didn't think the second one was nearly as terrible as I was expecting it to be. That's for sure. I my plans to see it and went and saw something else instead.

Initially I thought the second one should have been able to strive to even be dog shit in that it was so much worse than that.

Wow, you weren't even dog shit, bro.

No, I did not like that second movie at all. The first one, it was an enjoyable time. I didn't love it at all, but that's that's all right. It wasn't made for me, and my kids loved it, and it was made for them.

That was what was important, right, exactly, Like and I can, and just like you can acknowledge it. We can both acknowledge sometimes things ain't made for us, and that's okay.

Like, yeah, exactly the first one. Just to get the mystique out of the air, I was not talking about Mortal Kombat. I just decided to throw up Resident Evil. The first one is a decent time. I don't really enjoy any of the sequels all that much. Even the first one is not great. But I'm glad that it's made, Glad that it has a fan base, Glad that it has taken off and gave Paul WS Anderson is his whole career basically fun movie, Yeah, not much so, so

The original one is a lot of fun. I mean, the original one is. I mean, for me, the original one is one of those movies where every time I watch it, I'm like, you know, Paul W. S Anderson made Look, he has directed one of my favorite movies that has now been reappraised, Event Horizon, Like I love Event Horizon has been reappraised now everybody loves it. Nobody liked it when it came out. Okay, we get it. Love Event Horizon.

So Paul W.

S Anderson is someone who I wish he had made more movies like Event Horizon and less Resident Eas Oh we all, yeah, Well that's that's I mean, it's like James Cameron, it's like, stop making those avatar movies, bro, and make something else, like just just please, like for me to you.

And the same with Paul W.

S Anderson, like I get it, you are really good at making Resident Evil movies. The Resident Evil movies that he made in that franchise are the good ones. Once he leaves, they're not. So I don't know. I'm kind of the same boat. Like the first one's great, everything pass that not. And I saw someone in the comments mentioning that the Welcome to Raccoon City Johanna's Roberts film not good. Uh, and boy, they really were plugging away at that movie like it was gonna be something.

And Johanna's Roberts I like his.

I like that Kong movie a lot. So, like we talked about Monster Verse movies, I did not like any of the Monster Verse movies, but the but he did, No, he did he not do Kong. No, he didn't do Kong. Never mind I thought he did Kong.

Uh, no reason that I'm aware of. No, but he did. Primate he did, and it's very good.

Right, which is that's the other So maybe that's what I was getting confused with Primate.

I haven't seen yet, probably won't.

Get a chance to go see it in theaters because it's still probably out somewhere for maybe another week.

Maybe probably it did fairly well. Yeah, speaking of uh, Johannes Roberts whatever his name is. He he did a part of a VHS ninety nine that we spent since I talked about earlier and my big one nobody ever talks about The Strangers Prey at Night. Good movie, better movie than people give it credit for. He also did that one.

Yeah, Stranger's Prey at Night is pretty good. Heck, can we say it's the only Good Strangers sequel?

Oh well, there shouldn't be any other sequels, but yeah, and honestly, Pray at Night shouldn't have even existed, truly, it should have been left alone.

But anyways, Yeah, that's I agree with that sentiment.

Uh okay, So was that off of Paul W. S Anderson or did you say a title?

I totally just know that was off of pauls Anderson.

Yeah, okay, So what is your second one?

So? My second one is the for Mario Brothers movie from nineteen ninety three, the right video.

You knew that?

Yeah, that movie is amazing.

I think if you if you don't like that movie, it's probably because you've never seen it. Like it's it's It is a technically impressive movie. The sets are pretty wild. They made a lot of uh, they made a lot out of a little even though it was a pretty big budget movie. They actually like, the sets are wild. The fact that is Dennis Hopper in it as King Koopa is fucked.

It is wild.

It's a wild movie, like It's. It's one of those things where one of my favorite Disney movies, Meet the Deedles has Robert England is in it as a villain outside of makeup. Not no fanfare given to that. This man is Freddy Krueger. Same with Dennis Hopper, one of the great actors of all time playing Bowser like yeah, and and and that Bob Hoskins John like was Amo casting is out of control. Bob Hoskins was drunk and didn't know that Mario was a video game character until

It's Mario.

People who don't understand the it to Mario through the lens of the people who don't understand the appeal of the character.

It's a unique movie. I will say that I don't have the history with this movie that many people have. I enjoy this movie. I don't. I definitely don't hate it, which a lot of people do, and I think that's unfair. Honestly, it's still just wild to me that this movie even exists.

And it's the OG live action English video game adaptation. Yep, it is the og Like there's before ninety three. There are no video game adaptations, which is crazy because there are not a lot of genres that started after we were born. Most genres have a frame of reference pre are birth in the in the in the early nineties or the nineties, late eighties, like Mario came out in ninety three, three years after I was born. Like, that's

My next one? I'm curious if you've seen this one. I actually wanted to bring up the newer one, not Angelina Joe Lee, but the new.

Tomb Raider movie, Candor one.

The the Candor one. I feel like it is something something similar that we both like, which is Indiana Jones in a movie. For basically, it's the closest thing that we've gotten to that sort of feeling. It is fun, it's adventure, it's exciting, it's well made, and the candor is actually pretty great in it for a tomb Raider.

I like that movie a fair amount. It's got big dog dogs in it as well.

Yeah, yep, good for multiple times he's come up to. Yeah, I think it's uh, it's an okayed adaptation. It's I mean, it's basically just a hot woman moving in a cave and that's good enough.

So well, bro. I played, I actually over the weekend played. I received the I buy the Humble Bundle every month, and this month's Humble Bundle games. One of them was the remastered tomb Raider four, five, and six. Yikes, not good, no thanks, I'm good. They the tank controls were the default. I'm good.

Yeah, not a not a tomb Raider guy.

In terms of the games, I like the new games, which are just Uncharted with a woman instead of Nathan Drake, but tomb Raider with Alicia Vakandor. I saw it in theaters. I covered it on my show The Culture Cast back when it came out back in the day. I enjoyed it, and uh, what a great director named roar Outhog.

It sounds like he is a tomb Raider himself.

Yeah. Yeah, I would say it's a shame that that movie didn't get a sequel, and the end of that movie with Nick Frost as well set the stage for something that we never got any more of.

So yeah, actually a good choice, good pick.

I yah, they had talked supposedly about doing a sequel for years. I think they could still go back and do it. I mean, obviously Lisa mcandor still looks great, but it's not unheard of. I mean, we just talked about Utopia and Utopia too. It's different because it's animated, I guess, and the kids are all about it. But that is a little bit longer than what we got right now. Give us to Raider two.

Well you know that there. You know that there is Tom Rader coming out right, I did not know. Yeah, there's a Tom Rader TV show coming out with Sophie Turner, the one of the Jonas.

Wis Oh I know who Sophie Turner is?

Yeah, yeah, one of the Jonas wives. That's a terrible way to refer.

To her as it's an awful way to but.

To be fair, I don't want to refer to her as the character from Game of Thrones because less said about that the better.

So, yeah, Jean Gray and the X Men movies.

I I know her because I watched the brand new movie Trust from this last year that she was the star of and it was hot garbage. It was so bad, so bad.

I are you talking about? Yeah, I yeah, I yeah. I don't have a lot of like, I don't know, I don't have a lot of positive things because I haven't seen her in anything other than things where she wasn't great.

So she looks the part.

If you look at pictures of her as as Laura Croft, she looks the part, that's for sure. So but tank controls, by the way, are when you have to stop and move. You can't move what you can't turn while moving, so you have to stop and turn and then move in a sit so stupid, which, by the way, Resident Evil that was that was the thing with Resident Evil early on as well, was tank controls. Up until Resident Evil

Good, pick nice. What is next for you?

So my next one is again you know I mentioned you know well the one came out now and it didn't do a very good job at sparking joy. Silent Hill from two thousand and six, great movie, interesting visually, has a great cast. I think for me, Silent Hill is a weird game to adapt because Silent Hill is a very psychological horror game and that doesn't always translate well to the screen. And I think the visuals are interesting. They kind of are. They break the world that they're

He came back to this franchise.

So I was disappointed more than most people might it might have been to learn that the new Silent Hill movie is not good. So Silent O from two thousand and six, have you seen it?

Ages? Ago. Good movie, I mean not much. There's a lot of talk about Silent Hill right now, so I've been inundated with it a lot this week. Not much to add. The best thing is the visuals. That's that's really the hot part of that movie. It's not something that I expected to be as popular as it was, I gonna be honest, but I mean it's horror, so it takes off.

Yeah it is.

And Silent Hill leisure Suit Larry Wolfenstein would be a good one.

I mean it would.

Yeah. All right. My next one, this is the third one, is from friend of the channel Josh Rubin, and that is the movie were Wolves Within, which technically I don't know damn thing about the game. I just know that this is a video game adaptation and I think this movie is really damn fun. It is directed by Josh Ruben. It is starring Sam Richardson and Malta vins Trump. It is about a bunch of people that are stranded or

So we said video game adaptation.

It's not board games, right, because yes, I mean, I mean you, I mean where wol was within is like, it's yeah, it's barely adeo game.

It's because were Wolf.

It's were Wolf in VR like, which is like, which cracks me up because the movie you described just like just someone made were Wolf the board game into a movie, which is yeah, which is funny because like that is such a that is such an interesting idea, and board game adaptations aren't a thing that even happened to have happened enough, So it's funny that this is you.

Know, VRF of battleships.

Remember how Rihanna was in that movie with Liam Neeson. Is Josh Duhamel in that film?

Uh? I think? So? Yeah, it sounds right.

Yeah, what's he up to these days? I think it's funny that this is a video game that's based off of a fucking card game, a social deduction game that you play with your friends when but yeah, yeah, it's barely it's like, yeah, it's barely even a game, like it's just a social deduction thing.

Yeah.

I I will tell you though, I love Sam Richardson with a is so funny. I know, I'm surprised that Tim from fucking Tim Robinson's not in it, really, you.

Know, yeah, I twenty eighteen was he? I think he was still doing stuff for SNL or something. Maybe, Yeah, I'm not sure.

Yeah, I just you know, I just love the two of them together.

So yeah, always great, all right, next one for you?

So my next one again, and it is, you know, we've we're kind of I feel like we're staying in a certain kind of time frame here, which is more recent than not. And you know, I mentioned the Mario movie, which does go back a ways, but you know, for me, I kind of mentioned twenty twenty as a year specific to this.

Genre.

Man, is there anything better than a return to form by Jim Carrey with Sonic the Hedgehog, Because that movie is so much fun, and Jim Carrey is so good and finally having fun again as an actor.

And this is your fourth one, right, yeah, so my fourth one is Sonic the Hedgehog two.

Okay, So I'll talk about Sonic and then you can talk about the sequel.

The first one's amazing.

I mean, it's Jim Carrey is so good, he's having fun again as an actor. The the initial ground swell about the design of Sonic was justified. I think the original Sonic design is exactly the kind of problem that video game movies experience for the longest time, which is the people who watch these movies don't want to see what the characters would look like for the video game. They want to see what they would look like in the real world. No, we fucking don't. If you're gonna

No.

I adore the Sonic the Hedgehog movie, the first one. It is a It is a testament to what happens when you actually listen to the fans, and the fans have their hearts in the right place because there are Snyder cut stories at the Wazoo, the Sonic the Hedgehog people were not doing that. They had a very good argument against why Sonic didn't need to look like that, and the studio listened and the film is better for it.

I think it's great. I think the story's well done. I think all the characters are interesting. I think it's a funny way to adapt this, and I think Jim Carrey is the best thing about this movie. That and Ben Schwartz's great voice and just perfect choice for this. But really the reason I show was the second one is because I love all of that, and just adding in Tails with the voice of Idris Elba is just a wonderful choice. I thought it was really well done.

Was gonna say, I mean, your love of the second one is understood.

Have you watched the TV show based.

On Knuckles with not yet? No?

No, okay, because like that is then the further extension of that second movie. Like I love that second movie because of Knuckles. I think it's really fun that they did not do the Chris Pratt thing with the second movie and technically the first movie, which is they didn't recast uh, they didn't recast Tales. Tails is played by Colleen o shaughnessy, who is the woman that did the

So it is true.

And yet Jim in the second movie with that mustache, yeah, he looks like Robotnic in the second movie. I'll give you that, Like that's where he looks like Robotnic. F Yeah. Yeah, what a wild what a wild franchise that's been successful like that saw it through to the end. You know, three movies and they were all successful and they've all made money. Like great, you know, I'm glad it really is.

So that they're working on a fourth one.

Are they? Oh yeah, oh my god, of course, wow.

Okay, this is printing money, of course they are.

Yeah, it is, yeah, it is. It literally is.

Yeah, it sure is printing money.

All right, what is your last one?

Then this is where I knuckleball it uh Doom from two thousand and five. I could have said the other video game movie that came out that year, OVA Bulls Alone in the Dark, starring Christian Slater and Tara Reid.

Well, I'm choosing a Bull's House of the Dead for number. No, I'm just kidding, not no, you are not all right? Tell us about Doom.

Doude is a great movie.

It is.

It's fun.

Okay, it's Carl Urban, It's the Rock, It's Rosamund Pike. I mean, Carl Urban is not bad in anything he's ever been in The Rock not so much. But Carl urben so much fun and he's the main character of the movie. Like, it's not a rock movie, it's a Carl Urban movie. So that's why I resonate with it. And I'm a huge Doo Doom guy. I played Doom a lot growing up. That's something that my dad and I played when I was a kid on the computer.

What a Doom movie needs to be.

In my opinion, like Doom is a franchise that wears its influences on its sleeve. It's heavy metal, it's hardcore. You're ripping demons apart and ripping their eyeballs out and jamming their horns into their mouths and all sorts of vile things. So Doom probably hasn't been adapted to the fullest extent it needs to be. Maybe astron six could adapt Doom and turn it into something truly like Psycho Gorman, the void level of body horror and rip and tear

I gotta be honest, I barely remember this movie. Carl Arban's great, I will agree with that. I need to see it again. Well I probably don't need to see it again, but yeah, yeah, you do.

Yeah, I like to Seeattle tomorrow.

You can watch it on the plane.

I got stuff to do that doesn't involve this.

It's true one movie that I think I could give you one hundred and fifty chances and you'd never know what I was about to say. I am excited because I don't think you've seen this movie. In fact, I'm fairly certain you haven't. My movie is from twenty nineteen. It is a Taiwanese psychological horror movie called Detention. Detention is basically a sort of similar movie to Silent Hill in a few ways, especially in a lot of the visuals.

I have heard of it, I have not seen it, so I has for.

The equation better than it could have been. Yeah, that's right.

I have an interesting question to round this episode out, What, in your opinion is the worst video game adaptation that you have seen? Because that's the thing here, right Like, the fact that the ones we talked about are good is kind of the outlier in this argument. That's been the whole argument about video game adaptations, right right, is none of them have been good. And now in the last five six years, we've been getting good video game adaptations.

Scrolling through one of the lists real quick, I think the only one that I can say that fits everything that you just said, that I've seen made by somebody that could be interesting that is truly appalling is doa Dead or Alive?

Oh okay, I went with Borderlands.

See I've never seen Borderlands there.

Oh yeah, Borderlands is really an affront to both fans of the video game, which are many. It is a very popular video game franchise. Obviously, unpopular franchises do not get adapted. But Eli Roth could have been an interesting director because he's a very subversive guy who kind of has his finger on the pulse of things. It is a really bad movie, and yeah, like, I don't know why he adapted it. I don't know what they were thinking. I don't know why. Jamie Lee Curtis is just like

So yeah, I get it. I've never played Borderline, so I don't have the affinity for it. I know everybody that did seem to hate the fucking movie. So that's a good answer. If Eric is watching, she's me be very happy that you talked down about Eli Roth because she hates him.

Yeah, I'm not a fan of his either, Like whatsoever. I think that Eli Roth has a lot of positive things he's done for the film community, but there's also a lot of stuff from like Eli like I'm just not I don't vibe with you man. Yeah, movie called ice Cream Man this year.

I can't wait to see it. Yeah, sound here and then hopefully the Thanksgiving sequel here soon too.

I enjoyed it. I enjoyed that Thanksgiving, Like that was the thing Eli Roth for me, Like I went from Thanksgiving, which I loved, speaking of the grindhouse of all of this, to go all the way back to what we were talking about at the opening of the show, Like that movie's amazing, it's so much fun, it's way better than it has any right to be. And then he makes what like that was such a return to form for me with Eli Roth, and then like he just like went and just like soured all of it with a

I think TV is the best way to do it.

So understandable, totally get that there's been a fun conversation.

Yeah, I think so, But to a shame I never got to do it on Film Foundations.

Yeah, that was That was one of the plans for sure. Speaking of Film Foundations, pick a show, tell Everybody one of the shows on weirding Way Media that's not a Cristashi podcast.

God, there are so many. The Projection Booth is obviously the big one. That's Mike White's show where he talks about movies once, sometimes two or even three times a week, covering all genres, new, old, mostly things that you probably are less familiar with there, you know, less mainstream stuff, which is why I love Mike's show.

Midnight Viewing is also great.

That's Father Malone's Horror Anthology show where he covers horror anthology series of shows. Feminine critique is great. Emily La Ravia, Emily intra RAVI excuse me. Her show is fantastic. Mike has been on there a couple of times. She always does some really interesting coverage around the holidays with covering like Hallmark Movies and I think last year she covered that Christmas in Connecticut film which has Chevy Chase. And then the big one, the award winning one Eighties TV Ladies,

Ryan. We have not done an episode since then and seemingly probably won't be happening anytime soon at.

This point now, it would seem that way.

Yes, unfortunately, but also fortunately thanks for Reagan out tonight been a good show. Glad you were here, glad to talk to Thank you for having me always. Everybody, see y'all next Thursday. It's, of course, the first day Thursday of the month, which means the good Doctor will be here next week.

Chris, I'm disappointed that he's not here.

Now with us, probably that we all know that West Coast elite's probably in bed with a nice class classic LASSA. Well he's I mean, I mean he's a West Coast elite on the in an East Coast body. Yes, he's probably in bed right now with a warm glass of milk with his nightcap on, sitting in bed reading something more interesting than either one of us could ever imagine.

Hello, and welcome to Tumbleweeds and TV Cowboys.

My name is Hunter.

In this podcast, I'll be joined by a different guest each week to discuss a classic Western movie or TV show. I've been a fan of classic westerns for as long as I can remember, and in recent years they've become very nostalgic for me. I love the aesthetic, the tropes, and I love seeing different filmmakers takes on them at their best. They're incredibly entertaining, rewatchable, and some of my
