Re-Connected July 17th, 2025: Announcements and J-Horror with Andy Nelson!!

done osploitation, remake exploitation, We've done screwball comedy. It's just kind of like all over the place as far as the different types of things, and so it's a lot of fun. And yeah, I'd love more people to check that one out. So that's one of the podcasts that we have. And then the Next Reel is a podcast where we just talk about my co host and I talk about a different film each week, each one kind of packaged into a little series of films that we

are doing. And then we have another show called Movies We Like, which is where we bring on somebody from the industry to talk to them about one of their favorite movies. So lots of good stuff.

check out the other shows. It is a really great time, even Craig saying we were on movies, we like it was great, great felladay yep. The two episodes, one incredible episode on blaxploitation. The films covered is a really nice, really nice breadth of films with blaxploitation. There's a couple I don't know, like major films that people tend to

get hung up on. And with the episode, it was I mean everything because the guest was an expert, like a full on expert of this and oh yeah, incredible conversation. Completely completely support that one.

it out. And yeah, and so we talked about five films specifically the episode, and then I'll do a member bonus section that has five additional films and that's where we like, we'll do the kind of the core essential films in that first section, and the last one we play around a little bit. You know, if it's something that's a little more obscure or kind of borders on

the style, you know, we'll talk about that. So it's it allows for a lot of amazing conversations and that's that was one of my favorites as well.

it's a bunch of genres under an umbrella. But remak Okay, I've done say the word. These remake films are tech. They're not remakes. They're more ripoffs. And the way that you I don't know, like in a really playful way just tour it apart and share all the details and mentioned you know, Turkish spider Man and all these other things for a couple hours. It was incredible, really really great episode. And for people that love Monta Micabre and

terror visions on a couple Master videos done one. Like, there's a bunch of these foreign ripoff movies that are in genuine like appreciation incredible on their own. They're not like, let's just laugh at all these they're really great, very different movies that seem to have some plot lines or characters or dialogue exactly ripped out of another movie.

of films, they're not always easy to find. Luckily, he had links to many of them, and he's working on trying to figure out how to do deals and stuff to restore some more of them, because that's the trick. Like Turkish Star Wars. Good luck figuring out how to get the licensing for that one, you know, so at least it's on the lower quality versions on YouTube.

let's just do podcasting. And so since covid hit. I've been just doing full time podcasting and it's it's it's it's really fun and so True Story FM is our network, and we've got a whole bunch of entertainment related podcasts. That's where all of our movie ones fall under. And then we have a whole bunch with just a whole

bunch of other clients. We have an ADHD podcast, a divorce podcast, several cybersecurity types of podcasts, you know, so the we kind of cover the whole gamut different podcasting that we do. But that's you know, that's been keeping me busy for the last five years, which is crazy to think about.

hard to just pin down just a few. But yeah, there's a lot. As far as physical media, it's always like, I don't know, I'm always you know, after upgrading to four K, I'm just like, well, I'm only going to buy the four K releases now. But then it's just like, oh, but this is coming out now, Wow, I need that.

And so you know, then you know, you say, you're still just buying all sorts of stuff, and I'm still like, you know, I'm one of these people who has like a ridiculous number of letterbox lists and all these different things, like I'm trying to complete these sorts of lists and and so I hit somewhere, I'm just like, this movie that I want to watch for this list isn't available unless I buy this DVD from from Spain. I guess I'm buying a DVD from Spain. And so that's kind of how how I am.

over the last six months. The film that you discovered for your show that you went damn like this immediately is like one of my favorites of all time. This is incredible.

was like, where are we going with this movie? And it was it was just really exciting to see something unfold the way it did, you know, And because it's about a a filmmaker who's making a film about his own life when he was young and he was more politically engaged when he was younger, and he's altercation with the police officer, and now he's casting the police officer to play the police officer, and he's playing himself, and it just like they're acting out this story, but they're

also both trying to you know, think about Actually, I take it back, he didn't. He didn't cast them to play themselves, but he got the guy to like advise, and so the police officers like, oh no, no, this guy's not handsome enough to play me, and like going through all of this sort of stuff, and it's it was just such a fascinating movie. And I'm going to I'm looking at the list right now. It was called

of course now I can't remember which one. It is a Moment of Innocence, I think, yeah, directed by Moosin Mark Malboff, and it was I don't know, I wasn't expecting something that was like I was kind of expecting kind of like, you know, more dramatic, but then it took this whole meta narrative with it, and I just

wasn't expecting this. As they were examining both he and the police officer were examining their younger selves as they played this whole scene out and reliving the moments that they had and trying to like recontextualize like why they did it that way and everything, and I don't know. It was a really fascinating film and absolutely absolutely worth checking out. That was just one that really surprised me. That's the first one that came to mind.

so well received and that people really connected with. And I've had some people really excited about a number of the releases that we are the number of films we discussed. In fact, Midnight was Criterion just is putting that one out That was one of the ones that we had discussed, which was the first time. That's another one totally blew my mind. I loved that movie so much. And then

then Criteria. I often joke that Criterion secretly is listening to our shows because every once in a while, like I'm like, we just talked about that like three months ago, and here's Criterion putting it out there. So but anyway, that yeah, so that one really kind of seemed to hit a nerve, which, you know, I'm like, maybe I need to talk about more comedy.

and the Grifters. This is a DVD upgrade for me because nice. I mean, I love the movie, but that DVD is really an old one. And then I picked up The Philadelphia Story, which I've always loved. But I went to watch it. I have the DVD still and I opened it and the disc is gone, and I'm like, did I loan it out to somebody? I couldn't have figured it out, So I'm like, hey, guess it's time

to buy it. All right, then, I excuse me. I live in the Phoenix area and recently we had our our version of Comic Con, the Phoenix Fan Fusion, and lo and behold, Severn had a booth there, which was fantastic. I guess they have a place right here in town where they ship from. So I was like, I chatted with the team and everything. So I picked up Opera,

which I've been wanting to grab. I picked up the documentary about Island of Doctor Merau, which I've been very curious to watch, Lost Souls, so I'm very excited to see that one, Blood on Satan's Claw, So looking forward to digging into that one. And then last but not least, The Day of the Beast. So that's my love that movie. This is This was largely a set of films that I'd never seen and I'm just but I've been like very curious about So yeah, I figured they're here, they're

giving me a discount. Why not.

We had somebody ask, how do you feel, Reggie says Andy, do you think Criterion did Brazil justice with their four K release?

traded for this. I've been trying to pick up some of the deluxe Jackie Chan four k's have been coming out. Missed this one before it went out of print, and eighty eight Films kind of killing it with their Jackie Chan stuff, and then forcing myself to like Jess Franco as much as I can. Blue Underground coming out with the Blood of Fu Manchu and Castle of Fu Manchu, both on four K titles I never expected to see

on four K. Can watch these. I'm still waiting patiently for a couple other Jess Franco announcements coming this year, so can't wait for those. And then finally I got two more releases here and they are thick boys, very very excited about these. First is the Australian imprint release of Raging Bull. This is a four K release. It's got the documentary from two thousand and four as the second disc on this, the four K looks incredible. There's

not a lot of new stuff on this disc. This is mostly just if you really love this movie and you want Dolby Vision. The Criterion release doesn't have a Dolby Vision, so the colors might be slightly improved on this. To my eye, it's not that noticeable of a difference, but it does. It looks incredible, I mean, the photography and this is like stark be unbelief, so incredible looking disc.

And then if you're gonna pick that up, you might as well go over the other Scorsese that came out at the same time New York, New York that does not have a like, really nice release in the US. So we got this one. This is a three disc release. It's got the documentary from uh, I don't see the year on here, but this one has all kinds of new stuff. Daniel Kramer, he's had his hands and a

bunch of the imprint stuff recently. He's got Oh, that's right, it's the European theatrical cut, which is the second thing, and you've got the director's cut. Yeah, this is pretty much everything you could want on this release. Kind of crazy that New York, New York waited this long, Like, I'm still surprised we don't have some Scorsese titles on Blu ray let alone, like Fancy four K releases. Yeah right, twenty forty five, what are we doing?

I mean it was fun to watch. I really have a soft spot for just watching people in dinosaurs on screen together, but watching them all together, I'm just like, God, like every single one of these movies it's about stupid people, Like they're just all really dumb people making really bad decisions, as much as I enjoy them. But so we watched all of those and then we did the I threw it in the short films too, just because I wanted to.

My wife was just like, no, I'm done. And then we then we took in Rebirth, which I we neither of us enjoyed, but the audiencer did. They loved it, applauded at the end, and we were just like, okay, So it was a little bit of a disappointment, but I don't know, maybe it was because I just watched, you know, twelve other hours of dinosaurs. I'm just like, yeah, I'm out. So so that was the big thing. And then Superman I watched, which I don't know. I've seen

some comments how they've loved it. I didn't. I Superman I've always struggled with as a superhero, Like I love the idea of Superman, but I find that it's I don't know, just like the idea of a super character like him. It's just like, oh, there's not much he can't do unless there's Krypto not around, and so I don't know, I just get a little bored. I love the original Christopher Reeve, I've struggled with all the other solo films. I don't know. I think Channing Tatum might

be one of my favorite Superman this one. And you know, don't get me wrong. I mean, I know that's saying a lot of positive things and all of that sort of stuff, and people love it, and I'm sure they should. It just isn't for me, And to me, it just felt like it's just another James Gun movie, Like this is what James Gun makes now, it's like Guardians, the Suicide Squad.

you know, Nolan's Batman is fine. I was a Batman kid growing up, so I was fine with that. But like, I don't think I was ever even tempted to put in any of the Zack Snyder stuff. Nothing about that is appealing.

it was like better than average. I think that they could have really killed the story and they only kind of killed it. Maybe it's just because everybody had prepped me for such a terrible movie. I was just like, oh, yeah, Like, Abbott is a really good actor and he's selling this very well. I thought the way that they did like the werewolf perception thing where they changed his hearing and her hearing was a really cool touch. The ending was not great, and a lot of it could have been

much better. I will obviously grant that the writing is pretty bad, but I don't think this was like the genre killer that everybody looked at Tom Cruise's Mummy or anything like that. But it was a fun time. At least it was worth it.

She's like, she's a main character that is mostly just sick, and not like the cinematic sick where they're, you know, doing the Exorcist performance and she gets to ham it up or anything. No, she's just laying there sick. This movie is a very different take on a Dracula story, and essentially it's we are seeing people make the trip to California and now they're staying on a farm in the early nineteen hundreds after leaving the whole Dracula European

scene and getting caught for some of that. And I just did not like the story. I thought it was It was well acted, but it could have been like an eighteen minute short and delivered everything that you needed to see, and instead it was an hour in eighteen minutes, and I felt like I wasted an hour of my life at the very least. But the big thing, Yeah, the big thing for me this week, though, is I showed my kids Dick Tracy and good lord is that

movie fun as hell? After watching Superman and wanting to watch a different style of quote, super is not a superhero movie, but a very comic inspired movie. Dick Tracy fit the bill perfectly. I need a four K for this pretty much immediately. Warren Batty acting is fine and all that, but man, the direction in this is incredible. The cast in this, I forgot how perfect the casting is. But the best thing is this feels like this feels like they got Dario Argento straight off of the Suspiria

set and said, can you please direct this? This next live action season of Batman, the animated series and all of the colors mixed together is so perfect. Yeah, this movie is. It holds up very very well. The comedy hits hard. Love this movie. How do you feel about Dick Tracy?

film I think largely works. I think that I don't know, there's there's a whole meta world of Warren Baty as Dick Tracy that's arisen from this whole thing that I still can't wrap my head around. And I think that war does either by the way, I don't know, Yeah who if he's caught onto that, but he like he I will say, he embodied the character like and so it's clear that he had this real personal connection with it and everything. There are things that work better than others in it.

disappointed with how they filmed him. Because they filmed his close ups like they would film other actors close ups, but you lose the effect of the entire point of the actual face and it should be shot like giant head, little tiny face in the middle of it, but they shoot it so you're just seeing the actors like expressions,

and so I don't know. That's one of those things that I always think about with that movie is just a little a little gaff but otherwise, yeah, I think the character design, everything about it's really just super cool.

movies in general. Oh man, if you want people from movies, this has everyone you can dream And it's that blending of like the old Hollywood era and the people that were still alive mixing with the giant actors of that day with some up and coming names that now is like, oh wow, how are they also in this movie. It's incredible, absolutely absolutely amazing.

that one. We're still sorting it out. I've also been chatting with someone for I think a year now trying to coordinate the time to talk about heist films, which I think would be a really fun episode to discuss. So those are a few that are that are currently in the works.

those have their place. Nothing against that's just right now, very much into the let's let's deep dive and actually know what we're talking about type of podcasts.

a message saying that they have discovered what happened. Finally. They wanted to announce this a couple of weeks ago, but they couldn't even figure out what caused the air. So there was a formatting error when the disc was sent for replication, and it wasn't present in their files, and it somehow got corrupted on the way to the printer. So the replacement discs are now being manufactured and they're gonna be sent to those that bought it straight from Radiance.

Anybody else you can info. You can email info at Radiancefilms dot co dot uk show that you purchased the disc and they will get you a disc sent to you. And they did say this is good for anywhere in the world. You don't have to worry if you bought this in Australia or something, they will still ship it to you. There are new discs still being made of this title and it will have the replacement disc already with it, so you don't need to worry about that.

on the special features. There's a lot of different ways that these can go wrong without being able to be caught because they're not sitting there testing after they've done QC. Like some of these companies do QC more than thirty times on the whole disc after they're pressed. They're not testing all of the disc yet. Again, they would be completely bogged down and just doing QC for the rest of their lives. So thanks Radiance, this is the right way to handle it. Good job. Okay. So we talked

about seven a little bit ago. We also talked about their sale coming up next week. We're gonna be talking about a handful of titles coming as part of their sale. This first one is Night of the Sharks from nineteen eighty eight. This is the first time it's been on disc anywhere in North America, coming on Blu rays scan from the only surviving thirty five millimeter print. It will have the bonus soundtrack CD with it. Love that Severn still does this, but this is one starring treat freakin'

Williams and cannot wait to get this. This is gonna have a trailer on it. Not much for extras, but I have heard about this movie many many times and have never had a chance to see it. Night of the Sharks. Are are you a shark e'xploitation person? Because we're gon be talking about sharks.

commentary by Patrick Walsh as well. The Blu ray that comes with this is not gonna have as many bonus features as they normally throw in on the Blu Ray, but it's got both those commentaries. Still. You can get this on standalone Blu ray as well. How do you feel about Airplane two?

Land Murders, coming on September twenty third. This is one with Mary Stewart, Masterson, Brian Benben. I have never seen this one. I'll get a new audio commentary on here by Brian Reeseman and Max every There's also a new interview with Brian Benben on here. Have you seen the Radio Land Murders?

loves the world of old radio. And so wrote the story for this and then was the EP on it. And it's a zany fun movie. I mean, I've it's been quite a number of years since I watched it, but I remember having a lot of fun with it, and you know, it's just they throw in some like actual old people, like I think George Burns pops up as somebody who's who's doing some radio in it and everything,

and I just I had a lot of fun. It's definitely one that I'm just seeing the fact that they're putting this out made me want to revisited it and see how it holds up.

of authenticity in like six other things. And all that is great that they're putting us back out, Like I'm not one of those people that if I had the first one, I'm not going to complain because the value might go down slightly. The big deal here, though, is that they are fixing a bunch of errors that were

in there for the first time. So when they put this out in the very first set in twenty twenty three, the first movie had a six track audio set and it did not have the two point zero audio and lossless. They screwed up the audio track for some reason that got fixed in this one. There was a Christopher Reeve credit glitch that happened in that first movie, which that's kind of a big deal to overlook Chris for Reef

that has been fixed. Superman two has an improved Adobey Atmos mix that corrects the various wows that were problems in the audio mix, and there were some pitch issues as well. Superman two, the Richard Donner cut disc has a video fix for the geometry of the iconic final shot of the movie and a couple other random things

that was squished horizontally. Superman three the disc was fine, so that one's identical, and then Superman four The Quest for Piece includes an improved atmost mix as well that had some various alternate and incorrect musical performances that were wrong on that first release. So the hard part here, if you have that first release, you have the fancy limited set with all of the broken discs. So what

should you do. I'm not gonna say that they will do this, but I will say Warner Brothers actually has a decent track record for this. If you had the original Rambo set of all the four ks, those were littered with theirs as well, and people when they re released those unfixed them. People that bought the original set were able to email Warner Brothers and get fixed discs. So if you got this first set, I highly suggest

emailing Warner Brothers. They might be able to help you out because that's a lot to fix and feel slighted by if you got that first one.

loving Superman this last weekend. I almost feel kind of obligated to show them all the original Superman's on four K, and this is the way to do it. They also have a standard set that will have all the fixes eventually as well, so may need to check something out there you go. September ninth, we are getting Dark Winds season three from AMC. This is not a show I had ever heard of before I posted this announcement. Do you watch Dark Ones? It sounds like you you know, I.

because it takes up so much time. But this is one that I've had my eye on for quite some time, and so yeah, I might have to see about checking these out at some point.

I feel like this is one that you had to have seen.

out and stuff, and great movie. Kurosawa, Kira Kurosawa wrote the screenplay, or they adapted a version of the screenplay that he had written for this, and it's definitely worth checking out. I recommend it quite a bit.

heads up, Yes, these are press discs. It'll be a great release, promise this one brand new four K restoration of Invasion USA from archival Elements. New four K restoration also of Rocket Attack USA. From the original sixteen millimeter archival elements Crazy and then new audio commentary by Jason A. Nine for Invasion USA. New essay by Toby Rohan on Invasion USA. New audio commentary by c. Courtney Joyner and Mark Jordan Leagan for Rocket Attack USA. New essay by

Don Stradley for Rocket Attack USA. And then Ballyho Motion Pictures did Better Dead Than Read Hollywood versus Communism in the fifties, a little documentary for this, and then a new featurette with Anthony Moore, son of the star Gerald Moore, the Mystery Science Theater three thousand episode with Rocket Attack USA. Recut trailers of both like, there is a ton of stuff on this disc. This is reagion free, so you can get this anywhere in the world. You'll be able

to watch it. This is a crazy looking release. I've not seen either of these films. Is this something that you're into or.

cover art. Obviously Kirk Douglas movie, this is one that probably should have been treated fairly well, and this is what we got. Have you seen Ten Without Pity? No?

the genre. When two Wiley con men martial arts movie legends Philip Coe and Brian Lung, they are framed for hijacking a trunk full of charity funds, built joined forces to find the real bandits and a wild series of adventures that lead to an utterly fantastic final battle ranked among the most exciting two on one fight scenes ever, which with that sentence sold special features on this first off scanned in four K from the OCN. Incredible job

with that Severn. That's amazing audio commentary with Frank Jing and Michael Wirth, who are great at all of these commentaries that they do. There's an interview with the director Lee Chew there is actor Philip Coe remembers Fearless Dragons and a trailer and again region free anywhere you live. You can get this and watch it on Blu ray Player. That is fantastic.

They are putting out the movie Mama's Dirty Girls from nineteen seventy four. This is coming as part of their Drive In collector series. This is going to be a double feature as well, so you've got this one Mama's Dirty Girls. This is directed by John Hayes, who also did Grave at the Vampire and A Garden of the Dead. The original uncut thirty five millimeter negative was found and they were able to scan this one. That is really

damn cool. But then the second hit is the extremely rare nineteen seventy German erotica film How to Make Love to a Virgin, which that's pretty damn cool that they're putting this in here. The only special feature on these drive in specials from Force, they have their drive in mode, which means they will show both films back to back with a little intermission in between the two movies, which I think is a really incredible sort of gimmick to

put on these. I just wish we had some sort of contextual extra because these movies deserve somebody to talk about them.

everybody started crying because they couldn't go buy it. I'm sorry. What I'm getting from this is this will likely get restocked. They just probably were not able to have it available yet, so if that does happen, I will try to update. This is one of those times where if you remember the Patreon of a part of the discord, you'll get updated much quicker that way, most likely, So please come

hang out if you want to. This is the kind of thing that doesn't always deserve another post, but if it does, we will absolutely be talking about it in the discord. Great movie, incredible looking steel book on this I don't always love steel books, but the way they designed the Bowie Steel Book is kind of perfect here. It's worth a watch, It's worth an own, absolutely, absolutely something to look forward to if you're after it.

But I don't know. I'm a little well tuckered out on music biopics at the moment, so it's not urgent, but this is one that I would be more inclined to watch.

it again. That being said, I remember really enjoying it and to own it on four K and be able to watch it again in twenty twenty five that way is kind of incredible, no kidding. And yeah, Sibners saying, got to give you Universal credit. It's definitely been longer than six months since they put out the Blu ray. Yeah, Universal is doing really well at the moment actually, But yeah,

the biopic thing is is tough. It's kind of hard to watch any music biopick, especially after Dewey Cox that ruined them for me, because it's amazing.

that great if you visit it, but they made an amazing movie out of it, like that's how you do a live action remake of something. And it's just like these are all just like just rehashes, and I just I would love to actually just to test and see if audiences are buying into it in re like, take something that's that's a live action movie, like I don't know what's a like like I don't know, Hirs of the Caribbean and do a shot for shot animated version

of that, and are they gonna make money? Sadly probably they would, yeah, yeah, for sure. So but it's just one of these things like we just don't need them, and so this is not one that I'm interested in because I love the original trilogy so much.

see this. It was just there. I mean there were scenes in this where I I I think I made the show a couple of weeks ago, but when I came home, I was thinking, like, did they even make the guy's hair move the exact same way as it was in the animated version, because it looked that identical. I again, this will look beautiful. It's crazy. But then there's stuff like the quote live action lion King that was literally just animated too, Like.

did everything else. You got deleted scenes, you've got making of, you've got walking onto the set, whole bunch of features. They're kind of doing this right at least for the physical release, but I don't know, again, not necessary at all. Yeah, I love this question. Where's the live action remake a belladon of Sadness? That is a great question.

I'm sorry, Let's go to our next one. Speaking of animation, Kung Fu Panda two, which is probably the best one in that series, is getting a four K release from Universal on September ninth. No new extras on this, but I actually really like the century into the franchise, so I might pick this one up. I don't have Shrek yet either, which I also loved. But are you into any of these animation ones?

want both movies at once. But the big thing is, when I saw the first movie, it was not in theaters. I watched it at home and I watched the unrated version, which I then saw the theatrical and I found I loved the unrated version way more than the theatrical I didn't love either one, but the unrated definitely made it better, And of course they're going all in on that as well.

So the second one has an unrated version. It says upgraded with enhanced kills, deleted scenes, and more blood and carnage. You probably should have released that in theaters. It might have done better. Yeah, this one has an HGR presentation for the movie. We've got Dolby at most and then some featurettes on here. There's a scene breakdown, stuff like that. Not too shabby on the features. This one is interesting.

So I was on Reddit checking out some of the physical media subreddits that they have, and there's a user who is a Tractoris twelve who posted that he made a Blu ray price tracker. You can find this at valueflick dot com, except it's v a l u flick dot Now. I am not affiliated with the site or anything like that. I just found that I thought it would be useful and so I wanted to share it with the world when I came across it, he says

on the website. I built valueflick because my own steel books and limited run discs were piling up and I had no clue what they were worth from one week to the next. Spreadsheets were paying price threads were all over the place, so I wrote some code to pull in recent sales, graft the swings, and keep my shelf cataloged in one tidy spot. It's still just be tweaking the site between movie nights, but I've opened it up in case other collectors want the same quick reality check

before buying, trading, or selling. If it saves you a little guest work and maybe a few bucks, I'll call that a win. So I saw this and I immediately thought, well, if I want to buy something that seems valuable to me, because I don't want to overspend, so if I see something as trending on the lower side, I don't have to go, you know, on like a Facebook group and say, hey, you're selling this for ninety dollars, I'll buy it for ninety dollars if it's only selling for like sixty bucks.

And I don't want to go through eBay and parts through all these so this is pretty cool to me. What's interesting, though, is I posted this and the guy who coded the site, DMed me about four hours later and said, hey, I posted this to Reddit and not much happened, but then you posted this and the site crashed. Me posting this brought him a ton of traffic, and so he started asking what compelled me to even post about it, and if I had any ideas that he

could implement. And so we've been chatting every day since I posted this, and I've given him a bunch of stuff. He's got all kinds of things he's tweaking behind the scenes on this that actually are probably going to be super useful. So if everybody is keeping an eye on this, this will be changing pretty much daily. He is working on this kind of NonStop. Sibner says, do we have to enter each and every title in there? If you mean like to search for it at the moment? Yes,

but you can make a collection. So if you've got all kinds of stuff, you can scan and log in and make an account and make a collection on there, and that way you can track your stuff all in one place. We got a question that says, I wonder how accurate the tracker is. It's scraping straight from eBay sold prices, so it's there's not even a question on if it's accurate these are actually what they're selling for.

The hard part is there's all kinds of older or more obscure or rare titles that there's nothing in there because there's no sales, So that part isn't entirely useful yet. However, he's got some ideas, and I gave him some ideas that I think will make it much more useful. I agree Zepam. I think it would be useful if you could import from other apps, because right now I'm not scanning eleven thousand releases to put it in there. But also, like for me, I don't I don't need to know

what my collection's worth. That's not why I would use it. I guess if I was trying to sell something, I might use it as a gauge rather than searching on eBay. And yes, I believe you can search by isbn krinn. I'm not entirely sure by that. I think you can, though I know that he already since I did this, he already implemented a new feature that's not in the screenshot, where you can enter in titles yourself so that he can add those to the database so you can go

check that feature out. But yeah, to me, at least, I think this seems like something that could be useful, especially if he does implement some of the things we've talked about. So keep an eye on it.

traded for this Jackie Chan thing. To find out if I should trade for it or go buy it, I had to go scour a bunch of sites and find out that none of them had it listed, find out what it had sold for, see about what it's worth, and if I could just do that in one place, that's perfect. Yeah, awesome. Next up Lionsgate Limited. Again, we were talking about them a moment ago. They announced a four K release of High Tension, the two thousand and

three new French extremity released from Alexander Aja. This has all kinds of what they're calling lines Gate Limited extras, which are I believe are all the same that we're on the second site release of this when it got released. But this is a four K steal book. You can get this and it will be shipping on August twelfth, that is the release date. And the other things is this has a legacy bonus features on here. It's got the audio commentary with the AJA and the writer from

years ago, another scene specific audio commentary. It's got some other featurettes that I don't believe these were on the second site release. So yeah, high Tension, are you a new French extremity fan?

The other Steel book, Oh, I guess we'll get to that one in just a minute, because Criterion I was announcing and they completely interrupted my life and stuff. Let's get into Criterion first, fire walk with Me. Got a four case steal deal book that'd be weird from Criterion fourt coming on October seventh. Tell us about your love of Twin Peaks and David Lynch.

exact same thing thirty dollars MSRP. But what gets to a lot of people is this is Cronenberg. This isn't like some nobody that is an indie director doing this as their first time. This is going to have a Meet the filmmaker's featurette on here, which we get on all of the Janis Contemporaries and now Criterion Premiers. But it's Kronenberg. Most of us have heard of him before, and I'm sure that this will be the first movie

for some. But it is sort of odd to give this a release like this and not a mainline release when it's Cronenberg I've said that a lot. Now. The other big complaint, I've had a lot of people ask about a four K release. I don't think they're going to choose to do four K for this line because they want to keep that MSRP at thirty bucks, and when it goes on sale for fifteen there's no way they're selling a four K disc for fifteen bucks. They will lose money. Literally.

check it out. Yeah, I did not like the most recent one before this, so we shall see interesting speaking to Cronenberg History of Violence coming on four K and Blu ray from Criterion on October twenty First, now, we've talked about some art tonight that people have liked and disliked. This by far has been the most divisive art of the week. I have never seen so many hateful comments about a piece of art. How do you feel about it?

I mean the clouds are almost Simpsons like, like there's almost this borderline like Norman Rockefeller or Norman Rockwell type of filling, like to the overall Americana of it all. I really like this new four K digital restoration supervised by the DP and approved by Cronenberg. You had a five point once around DTSHD Master audio soundtrack. You do have Dolby Vision HDR, so this is gonna look pretty

damn good. We got an audio commentary with Cronaberg on this new interview of the screenwriter Josh Olson, conducted by Tom Bernardo, excerpts from Cronelberg and Vigo Mortensen in conversation with the twenty fourteen Tiff Festival, a documentary on the making of the movie, a bunch of older archival featurettes, and then an essay by Nathan Lee. Excited to pick this one up. This was definitely gonna be in October or depending on the sale the flashhill for the site,

either October or Barnes and Noble pickup in November for sure. Yeah, yeah, lots of comments on the art, Let's let those lie next. The most exciting thing from Criteria for me this month October twenty First, a four K and blu ray release of Ken Russell's Altered States. Have you seen Altered States? Sir?

we get in a lot of modern filmmaking. He just sort of assumes that you're going to meet him halfway. And what's great is that sort of relevant to the storyline as well. Like William Hurt absolutely does that to every single person, sometimes to his detriment. But it a beautifully made movie. I'm certainly you know, the final couple climactic moments I have never looked great. I'm sort of worried how that's gonna look in for K. But this

movie will absolutely shine in every way. I mean, there are scenes in this that are extra dark that will look beautiful in four K. Just very very excited about this. I will say I don't see anything on this that tells me that there's a hint here, but this being a Warner movie directed by Ken Russell, I can't help but feel like we're getting actually closer to a release of The Devils. I'm not gonna conjure that necessarily, but I feel like that might actually be a realistic possibility soon.

just as soon as possible. I think this is a masterpiece. This is an odd one now, so October twenty eighth, we're getting a four K Blu ray dual format release of Germo del Toro's Nightmare Alley. However, it is quite different because this is the black and white version of the film, So this is Nightmare Alley Vision in darkness and light, a new black and white extended director's cut

supervised by del Toro. Of course, this one is going to have a four K digital master of the theatrical version of the film with it with Dolby atmost two four K discs, so you've got Dolby Vision on both

two Blu rays, with the films and special features. New audio commentary by del Toro on the extended director's cut, new documentary on the film's performances, visual language, costume and production design and score, new conversation between del Toro and the producer Bradley Cooper, new conversation between del Toro and the Coast Green writer Kim Morgan, and then an essay by crime fiction and true crime expert Sarah Wineman. This is a really cool release. I also really enjoyed the

cover art on this one. I sadly have still not seen del Toro's Nightmare Alley at all. How do you feel about this release.

not sure. Interesting it was played in black and white literally at the same time when the original came out, because he if I remember, he'd at least New York and LA he played the black and white version like for the Oscar stuff, right when the original release was.

black and white. Oh, that was almost perfect. You had to have been typing that like as I started speaking. That was perfect. Del Toro as a whole. Did I say that?

K in the US. The big thing is this is the second Site four K master and all of the extras on here we're on the second site release except for the legacy special features that they're including here. We're not able to be licensed to Second Site, So there is stuff on this that is not on the second site disc and second site. If you've got the limited edition,

you've got the booklet, I guess. But literally, it's the exact same restoration, it's the exact same on disc, supplemental features and more so, this is a pretty compelling release if you are into steel books and you don't have that deluxe release, and it's to me, like this is a pretty steal book. I like the cover, I like that the inside is kind of gruesome. For this movie, good movie. Have you seen it?

a four of Deep Crimson. They're also releasing this on Blu Ray. This is from nineteen ninety six and it says one of the peaks of subversive Mexican director Arturo Ripstein's Cinema out Cinema of outsiders. This deliriously perverse portrait of obsessive love dares audiences to see the humanity and

the most sordid of anti heroes. A lonely hearts advertisement leads lusty nurse Coral to Nicholas, a con man with whom she forges an increasingly intense, twisted bond as they crisscross nineteen forties Mexico, robbing and murdering the women he seduces. This sounds kind of incredible. I'm very curious to check this out. Love the color on this one. The cover art looks great. New four K digital restoration of the

director's cut, supervised and approved by the director. You got a four K disc of the movie and a Blu ray with the movie in special features new interviews with a director and screenwriter. There's a panel discussion from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences featuring the director and a couple others, hosted by Christina Venegas film scholar Hayden Guessed and uh yeah, Owen Owen Smith kind of killed the cover art on this. I think, deep Crimson. Have you seen or heard of this one?

completely different cut of the movie. It's also got new bonus features and essentially the director was not happy with the previous release and wanted to do a bunch of different stuff, and so here it is now. It can still be in print. They've got this available. You can pre order this from the tearr Vision website or the Gray Face website. Lots of good stuff attached to this one. I think that people are gonna be happy if you liked the first release. This is not just a re

release the exact same thing. I think that you're gonna be stoked that you're getting something different. At least. Re releases are not great usually, but considering the difference, I'm okay with this.

of Morgiana, The Ninth Heart and The Cremator. Cremator is amazing, by the way and subversive genius of the Czech new wave comes the disturbing Shocker driven by cultural provocation, political paranoia, and a supercharge take on the vampire mythos now on disc for the first time ever in America, and it says when Ferrett Motors introduces a new high performance sports car, a trauma doctor investigates a bizarre theory that the vehicle is a biological machine fueled by human blood. That just

sounds incredible. This is going to have a commentary by Michael Brook who does great on check films. There's an archival commentary with Lars Dryer Winklman that was revised and re recorded in English. Actually, there is a person undergoing a strange sequence of events actress that is in this

remembers the film. There's a piece with a screenwriter Legend of the Blood Car visual essay by Steven Brumer, who does a lot of experimental filmmaking under his label up in Canada, so that's cool to get him on here. From archival interviews and a look at the prototype that was used for the ferret in this movie. There's also a nineteen ninety two Check TV movie based on Vampire Limited author Joseph and Nibaba's nineteen sixty six short story

More Dare that's really damn cool. And then there's a booklet with the original short story that was in this and then a new introduction by Check science fiction historian Ivan Adamovic. Yeah, this to me seems like a must. This looks incredible.

that we did. There's like fifteen people that wrote on Michael Madson, all covering different films, very very fun pieces to read through and just kind of revisit everything that Madson has touched over the years. A lot of great names. Billy Ray Bruton is the one that kind of brought everybody together for this. You got Winter Mitchell, who is incredible, bj Colangelo who's amazing, Austin Proctor, all kinds of people, Jason Schahan, Jason Kleeberg, Michael Weyers. Yeah, lots of great names.

Go check out over on Sinepunk's It's a fun ride Up.

the film that kind of frustrated some people. This week, we are getting on September twenty third, a Blu Ray release of the Best Little Whorehouse in Texas from nineteen eighty two. Starring, of course, Burt Reynolds and Dolly Parton. Frustrating because this already has a Blu ray, but they were not able to get a OCN scan. I think the only thing that exists for this anymore is an

a positive. So this got a two K scan of that thirty five millimeter interpositive that is a brand new master, so it will look better than the old blue ray probably. There's also a new audio commentary on this by Paul Anthony Nelson and Perry Cummings, another new audio commentary by Brian Reisman and Max every and then some archival extras.

But yeah, this is one that I would say, like, don't wait on a four K because they're probably never going to get a at least not a not an actual four K release on this one.

that we get to talk about. We've got Tales of Adventure just pouring out of every poor It seems like these are all coming out on Blu Ray on September twenty fourth, and we're getting three different Tales of Adventure box sets. This first one collection number seven, already number seven. This has The Thief of Baghdad from nineteen twenty four, and if that wasn't enough, you get The Thief of Baghdad from nineteen forty. I still not had your full

the Thief of Baghdad from nineteen sixty one. So all of these are takes on the one thousand and one Night's Story. Of course, you get a bunch of extras on this. You got new visual essays by Martin Terrio, some commentaries. All of them have extras on here, including Let's see the nineteen forty version as a new commentary by Josh Nielsen, This says, new visual essay by David Huckvale. This is a lie. Huckfiel didn't do anything for this release.

That's actually Philip Jeffries who did a piece on this one, and it's supposed to be great. So I'm excited to see that one. And then the newest film from nineteen sixty one is new commentary by Adrian Smith, new visual essay by FELIPA. Barry. Yeah, are you into the adventure style films that Imprint has done?

to nineteen seventy one. This has so much in it, twenty thousand Leagues under the Sea from nineteen sixteen, Master the World from nineteen sixty one, Valley of the Dragons from nineteen sixty one that's the first time ever on blu ray in the World War, Gods of the Deep from nineteen sixty five, Rocket to the Moon from nineteen sixty seven, and then The Light at the Edge of the World from seventy one. Just like the last one, limited to only fifteen hundred copies for the hard box.

They'll likely do a standard release when this sells out. I think they have for the other ones that have sold out. But if you want, like if these are your jam and you absolutely want them, you may want to take a look at the you sooner than later, because some people really like these movies, and this one's got a film that people have wanted for quite some time.

We've got new extras on a bunch of these, another new Philip Jefferies visual essay on Master the World, new visual essay by Andy Marshall Roberts on Visit Price on that disc as well. War Gods of the Deep gets

a new commentary by Jonathan Rigby and Kevin Lyons. There's some archival extras, more new commentaries, including one with Kim Newman and Stephen Jones, and then they poured it over the Light at the End of the World extras that were on the previous release of this supplemental features, Andy, what type of features do you prefer?

big fan of any of that sort of stuff. There was a day where I would like watch all of the trailers when they would include trailers, or flip through all the different posters, and you know, sometimes I'll still take a glance at some of that, but I've I don't know, I feel like I hit my limit with those, and now I'm just looking for like the interesting conversations about things.

limited only fifteen hundred, so pay attention to that. This is covering from nineteen seventy four to seventy eight, so nice tight time span here. But we get the land that time forgot at the Earth's core, the people that time forgot, and then the big one for so many people for the first time on Blu ray anywhere in the world, Warlords of Atlantis from nineteen seventy eight. So I saw quite a few people saying they were going to buy this simply to get that last film on

Blu Ray finally, which more power to you. That's that's some dedication again. Lots of new extras. We got new commentary by Kim Newman and Stephen Jones, new interviews with the director Kevin Connor, who directed this in nineteen seventy four. That's pretty freaking special. More new commentaries and interviews. There's just a lot like the if this is your type of film, Imprint is giving you a lot of value with these movies, for sure.

nineteen seventy two. This is an eight disc set. You also have one hundred and twenty six page hardcover book for all of you hardcore Bewitched fans, which there are still a lot of people. This has some new extras on here. There is fifty four different episodes by Sony and they're gonna look incredible. I mean, yeah, Imprint does really great with TV work. I'm just glad to see a boutique putting time and energy into TV, which does not happen all that often.

edited them into essentially TV films. And so we've got Destination Moon Base Alpha from seventy eight, Alien Attack from seventy nine, Journey through the Black Sun from eighty two, Cosmic Princess from eighty two, and then Spatzio nineteen ninety nine. From nineteen seventy five, you had a five discs set, a hundred page hardcover book with the comprehensive guide to every movie housed in a limited edition hard box. If you love Space nineteen ninety nine, there's extras on these.

They are going all out to make these incredible. I don't even know what to say, Like, there's just so much stuff.

over priced. The hard part is if you only want one, you got to pay for Australia to wherever you are shipping, which suddenly seventy eight is now ninety eight, and that's where it starts to get a little crazy. However, if you're buying a whole bunch of stuff from Imprint and you're getting free shipping, oh it's worth it. Pile it on, get like five or six releases, and suddenly you're getting an absolute steal because you're not paying for shipping, and it's going practically the entire world.

will be an Amazon exclusive. Over in the UK, this is available on Zombie, will be a few other places. No idea about Canadian release or anything like that, but this is going to be pretty widely available. If you really want this, you'll be able to get a copy.

of this movie. Unfortunately, the big story here is that it is not going to be including the wonderful DVD special features that we got on that big two disc release that a lot of collectors still have. Unfortunately, I do not have it anymore, and I need to get a second hand copy because this is not going to include all those bonus features, like there's a documentary and everything. So this thing is coming. It's going to have a wonderful looking steel book. I actually think this is a

really classy release. The UK is getting this exact same steel book and a standard four K release, so if you don't want to steal book, you're gonna have to pick up the UK one. It is very much like Kingdom of Heaven. For some reason, you are if you love this movie, this is going to look amazing. It's gonna have Dolby Vision, it looks impressive. You've got immersive audio, like everything about this is going to be a stellar release guaranteed.

You're paying credit card processing fees and you can't charge that to the customer. There's a lot there. But this one, I gotta I gotta find a way to get a copy of it. Absolutely. Okay, So we talked about another replacement program. Let's talk about the issues that have played terror Vision over the last couple weeks. So this is kind of Crazy. One of their titles, the one that you can see on the screen right now, Suddenly in the Dark. This was announced in January and this title

has essentially been cursed for us. This has caused so many problems to just completely spiral. So let's go through it. The first thing, The Devil's Sword. This is a movie that I produced a bunch of the special features for. I've been excited to get this in hand for so long, and as it looks like a bunch of the discs are not playing. Now here's where it gets crazy. Because we talked earlier about them checking the discs. What's hard is about forty percent of these discs were working when

they got to the warehouse. TerrorVision put in a few of them and they worked just fine, so they started shipping them out. But then when people were getting them, a bunch of people were messaging and saying, hey, this disc is pointing out that it is not a completed disc. So something happened in the actual manufacturing process because the

files were exactly what they needed to be. And the replicator is definitely gonna have to be the one to cover this because they're the ones that screwed it up. So no need to email TerrorVision. The only discs that went out were for people that had purchased directly, so you're just gonna get a brand new disc and you don't have to ask for it. So if your disc works, you get to give on to a friend because you're gonna have a second disc. Just just give it away.

It's a great movie. Then the second title, The Children of Violent Rome, another movie that I did some special features for. My friend Sam Cohen, who's in the discord, got him to write a piece on this one. The disc is fine on this, but all of the slipcovers came in completely mingled, not anything to do with TerrorVision, the shipping partner. They all just came in completely thrashed. So these are getting reprinted and as soon as they get there they will be sent with a fresh batch

to everybody. If you got one, you got one of like the very small number of titles that were in this that were not damaged. So congratulations, you're the exception, certainly not the rule. Now the big one, Suddenly in the Dark has been just completely ruined and ruined and ruined time and time again. This was weird because in QC something got caught and we went to fix it, and then that fix screwed up the entire digital master for some reason, and so we had to go in

and fix that again after that. And now the curse is coming because the disc is finally fixed and the discs have arrived at the warehouse, but unfortunately, all of the packaging was shipped to Florida instead of Georgia, where they were supposed to be, so Terror Vision had to go with a trailer, rent a truck and trailer drive to Florida, and then package them themselves after they were sent to two different places. So this is going to

be happening over the next few days. They planned to have all of these fixed and shipped out to people. Over the next week. You will finally be getting Suddenly in the Dark. I did a bunch of stuff for this disc, so I've been patiently waiting because this movie is gorgeous. Have you ever seen Suddenly in the Dark.

to cover them. All that to say, like, manufacturing so many titles is hard. It's very difficult to be patient sometimes, especially like Suddenly in the Dark has been plagued with issues for almost six months. Now. I get that that's a long time. Try to have some sympathy for people in these companies that they are working to make sure that it comes perfect. They don't want there to be errors. That costs them money too, I mean they're losing you know, customers,

losing faith in them. They just want everybody to have the best experience. They love these movies too, So yeah, it's it's hard.

number thirty seven in the Keno Coult line. This has a brand new HDR Dolby vision Master. There's an audio commentary by the actress Diane Thorne, the director, Don Edmunds, producer David F. Friedman, moderated by Martin Lewis. That's an archival commentary. There's a new commentary by Kat Ellinger and Eugenie Melodic. There's an interview with Dot Edmunds that Elijah Drinner was able to do I believe earlier this year.

And then a trailer. Now, a lot of people was thinking that these were going to be a box sets. Now we are still going to get a box set. Keno has said that in the various forums that they've been talking about this and commenting the hard part is we have no idea when they're not going to do a box set until all four of the standalone releases have been released and people have bought all those up, and then they will put them all together in a

box set. So make sure if you're wanting all four of them and you want to save some bucks, it will likely be at least slightly cheaper. The hard part, you've already waited almost two years for this is to come to fruition. You could be waiting another I don't know year, year and a half before that buck sits, So I'd be saying, how much do you want them?

And I was really intempted to include this on the list, but at the very least, what I'm wanting to do is like throw this out out as a potential member bonus episode, see if the members vote on it. But I'm very curious about this one. For sure.

great about this movie. I've never seen this one. Have you seen this one?

want to check that out. Uh, interesting, it sounds very interesting. Yeah, this is this is one that I'm more curious in the features than the film. I think.

do it. But yeah, it's then you have the result and you have to live.

book from Sony of Silverado from nineteen eighty five. Now, this coming from Sony, I guarantee this is going to look amazing. Of course, it's a steel book only release, which sucks. I'm not standing up for that at all. But how do you feel about Silvato? Have you seen this?

has all of the exact same extras. If anything, the BFI might even have one extra one, but they're pulling over like some of the talks that happened over at the BFI. So not a lot that you're going to be missing either way. But this movie is a masterpiece. How do you feel about Get Carter?

just an a Michael Caine thing. I'd love to see them do a four K of Gambit, which is, you know, one of my favorites in this era of Michael Kine. But I mean, yeah, Carter is absolutely a fun one.

That being said, they do incredible work on their restorations and the bf I did great with this, so being able to see them put that amount of work into a four K, if we're only getting three or four at least, they're going to be incredibly high quality. Absolutely, And now some more from this slate from them, we get that Midnight Kiss from nineteen forty nine, another one that I've not seen Technicolor musical. Have you seen that Midnight Kiss?

some extras on here. That's a big deal because at least one or two of these do not have any extras. Next up is a movie called Seven Women from nineteen sixty six, which is directed by a little known director you may have heard of called John Ford. This is I believe his last film and a movie that people have been dying to see on Blu Ray for quite some time. Four K scan of the OCN, another color movie special features on this. We've got an MGM cartoon that won, an oscar called the Dot in the Line,

and a trailer john Ford. How do you feel about john Ford?

is this his version of Seven Samurai? I mean, I'm reading this synopsis here and Bancroft stars in this moving drama set in nineteen thirty five about a remote Chinese mission run by American women that's overtaken by warring bandits. I just like, do the seven women stand up?

from Order Archive. Intruder in the Dust has a four K scan of best preservation elements and for special features on this one, you got MGM shorts Playlands of Michigan and Counterfeit Cat. Not a lot I know about this one, but I know that I've seen this poster many many times. I'm glad they're including this. It's a Clarence Brown film. I don't know anything about this though. Do you know anything about this one?

performance by leading lady Ida Lupino. The Hard Way is a gripping drama that in certain ways is a precursor the same story dynamics to be found years later and the remarkable musical play Gypsy Lupino takes on stage, so to speak, as Helen Chernin a strong willed woman who wants to get herself and her talented kids sister Katie out of their Jerkwater hometown. And if that means using people and throwing them away, that's what Helen will do. It's got a four K scan of the original nitrate

negative as well, and as far as extras, you get nothing. Yeah, I mean anything would have been nice to see on the disc. There's a lot of people that would love to work with Warner Archive for freaking free, yeah, the hard way. Ida Lupino, any Ide Lupino love for you?

There's some special features we got. These are all ported over from the DVD we got Huckleberry Quotes, the remix music video celebrating memorable Hound quotes Huckleberry Hound a linguistic linguistic masterpiece, hound speak as humorously interpreted by a linguistics professor. Which, oh my gosh, the legendary sound of Das Butler, an affectionate remembrance the brilliant voice artists who lent his sounds to voice Huck and Yogi, among many other beloved characters. Yeah.

This for me, to get all sixty eight episodes of The Huckleberry Hound Show in one collection on Blue is kind of amazing. Brand new HD masters from the original camera negatives for all of these is huge. And for somebody that loves animation, I cannot wait to own this.

the film. It says new artwork which I think is great, although I guess the front cover is slightly spoiler ish, which is a little tough. This has a hundred page hard case or sorry, one hundred page book featuring new cover art and everything. Lots of new writing, new extras on here, new commentary with Nia Edwards Bay, co director

of Arbitoire Home Horror Film Festival. New interview with one of the actors, New interview with New French extremity expert Alice Halett, bran new visual essay on Martyrs and Body Horror by Xavier al Dona Rees. Then a bunch of archival extras. This is the this is amazing. How do you feel about Martyrs? Have you? Have you taken the time to sit down and watch Martyrs?

free international shipping with no minimum. So if you are ever after a Eureka title and you don't want to go like to Orbit DVD because you got to get three titles for free shipping, Eureka ships anywhere in the world, even if you buy a single disc for zero dollars and they don't charge you tax I don't know how they have a deal with the Devil, but I mean, well, I not support that. I mean that's pretty great.

will never watch it. Once is enough and I get that, But like I could watch Martyrs probably once or twice every couple of years at least. Yeah, I need this on four K. This is gonna beautiful. The Shark Hunter is the next title coming from Severn as part of their sale. The Shark Hunter is from nineteen seventy nine, will also have the soundtrack CD, as they're doing on many of these releases special features. For this, we got a reunion between Enzog Castelari and the actor Franco Nero,

some big names in this one. We got an interview with the producer Enzo Doria. There's a trailer and then the soundtrack CD. And this is so cool that they have now done three different shark movies as part of just this one sales slate. And we'll talk about that more in just a minute. But yeah, Shark Hunter, I'm sure that this is probably not one that has passed your radar.

Next up, Quino Lober on September thirtieth is putting out a four K and a Blu ray set and single releases of The Airport for film collections, So you can buy each individual movie if you only like the first one or the Concord or whatever, or you can buy all four at once in a set. The set will have this sleeve style packaging, which I kind of hate. Instead of cases, and it will also have a booklet, or you can buy the standalone single releases with the

slip covers. Really good looking release overall that they're putting us out. I'm glad they're doing it. But the films, this is a big deal. We've got Airport, We've got Airport nineteen seventy five, Airport seventy seven, and then the Concord Airport seventy nine disaster movies from the seventies. How do you feel about Oh.

with them. That being said, I haven't seen I watched Airport, I don't know, probably the last ten years or so, but I haven't seen the other three. I'd be curious to see how they how they hold up today.

started the whole thing, led to airplane. Like all of this stuff, this is a brand new HDR Dolby Vision Master. Now here's where it gets interesting. From a four K scan of the thirty five millimeter interpositive reduction element, which all that to say, this is not going to be a great looking four K. We lost a lot of

fidelity from the OCN getting to this point. This is not great source material, and I have a feeling that they really just needed to put all four of them on four K to make the set work, because really this probably shouldn't have had a four K with that element being the best that they got, they probably should have only done the blu ray for that one. The other three sequels though four K scans of the OCN, so those are all going to look pretty great, guaranteed this.

We got new commentaries on all four movies from people like Julie Krugo, c Courtney Joiner. We've got Steve Mitchell, Nathaniel Thompson, Peter Hancoff, Julie Kergo again, lots of good stuff here. Craig says reduction element Was it shot in seventy No, I believe it was shot in sixty five? Which yeah, again not great here, not great.

forced him back into the action. As the evil Invincible East threatens the peaceful realm of Xiang, who with her demon cult, Chong picks up his weapon and defends the land with the ragtag crew of misfit warriors and this mystical Wusha throwback starring Tim Hoying as chong Jiang Yuki as Invincible East and featuring a guest appearance from the One and Only Samo Hung in twenty twenty five. Wow, yeah, this looks great. Watch the trailer. It looks really fun. Yeah,

I'm very curious about this. Oh there you go. Gary found the answer. It was shot in sixty five, but it was made for seventy millimeters. Prints. There you go, and see. I wonder like, does the sixty five millimeter exist still on airport because you could have scanned that.

lot of these things. And I don't know, I just there's it's it's a different feel for what you're getting from typical horror movies and stuff, you know, And so I don't know, I just I really enjoy the tone of the way that they're exploring different elements of their society, and I find that to be such an exciting piece of all of it.

and a lot more trauma. I know. It's so funny because you know these these dumb terms, like you know, like elevated horror or things like that, that it's just like, really it's just it's horror, and like that's kind of where you were going with this sort of stuff first, but also I love when they start exploring technology and our relationships with with that, you know, and I think that there the Japanese culture looks into some of those

in such interesting ways, whether it's like videotapes or the Internet or whatever, and just how it how it kind of explores that in the horror scape, which so often when they get remade in America just don't capture the essence.

odd thing to discuss. I guess in a way it should bring up the idea of jay horror k horror as a genre in itself, because in all reality, it's just horror from a country, and really all we're talking

about is Japanese horror films. So there is a lot that you could break this down into, like different eras or movements within jay horror, but really there's kind of a defining time frame where jay horror exploded, and I've certainly got some from that on my list and I'm going to talk about But I tried to go a little wider too, just to capture some some different eras and a lot a lot of my picks are going to feel very obvious, but I don't think they get

talked about in the idea of jayhor itself, and more so just like the pantheon of horror as a wider topic, and so very curious to see how those feel in discussion in these tonight so.

But for them, like the way that they define it is like jay horror is a specific subgenre within Japanese horror that really kind of rose in the nineties, and so you started really seeing a lot of the different specific ways that they were taking the direction of horror films at the time. So I'm very curious to learn more from them about all of that.

much fits into that kind of found footage vibe. It's like a pseudo documentary as we're following this paranormal investigator who is exploring this, this world of this this this curse that's happening where this this house had burned well, his house had burned down, and so it's actually other

filmmakers who are now following him. It gets kind of that that meta found footage nature of it because he ended up getting he started, he finished this project, and then ends up dead, and so now you have these other filmmakers who are exploring his story as he goes through this process and he's investigating this this woman and her son and that that like dead birds are showing up around them, and it's like this they're annoying their

neighbors because the neighbors keep hearing all these crying babies and they're like, what is going on? And so he's like trying to talk to this woman and she's just so nasty and he never can talk to her, and he keeps just kind of like following this investigation and eventually kind of leading to kind of a better understanding

of what's actually going on with this curse. But what is so interesting about the way that the film is constructed is like it literally feels like you're watching a TV episode exploring how this this like this person following

this curse trying to figure it out. Like we cut to news clippings and they're like reading through the newspapers, and we cut to other TV shows, like we cut to this completely unrelated show that happened to have this psychic come on, and you know, like this appears with the psychic who then attacks this woman, and both of those characters end up becoming very important later. It's it is a wild film, and it's probably my favorite of

that whole box set. It's a really interesting one. It gets better every time I watch it, So that's where I wanted to start that box set.

has roots in Jay Horror that are very very important here. Yeah, I love this movie. I think that this is a very very great choice to bring up here. That box set from Air is big. I hope they keep doing more, somebody does. I had heard from some people I know that you know, we've been seeing a ton of Hong Kong releases over the last four years now that have just been inundated by every label out there, which is great.

I'm glad they're getting releases. Nothing against them, but by you know, eventually, when you're releasing that many, it's gonna be hard to keep that glut of titles coming. We're not gonna have elements for all of them or rights for some of them. So from what I'm hearing is that we might start seeing a little slight shift to the Japanese area. And if this is an indication for Arrow that, hey, we feel confident in putting out a

box set like this. I hope people supported it in a way that we get more because there's a lot of really great jay horror that has never been you know, like outside of Netflix in the US, there's some that have gotten some like digital release for a year and then never seen again illegally at least, and it would be really great to see many of those come to disc And this is one that people had wanted for a long time. So I'm glad I got a respectful release.

It is a great title, definitely, Okay. So I was trying to determine what order to go through here because chronological is just kind of I wanted to make it fun, but I just happened to still go with the oldest one first, because this is one that I feel like is kind of the granddaddy for me in so many different ways, because it's so surreal and supernatural and weird

in so many different ways. But I wasn't going to be able to talk about jay Or without bringing up nineteen seventy seven's House Nobody he was wondering is one of those people. And obviously right now I'm working on like four Obiyasha titles for cult epics, and he is so stylized and carries so much of that over through films like School in the Crosshairs, which has very specific, very House related imagery, because he learned how to do it with how some people loved it, and then he

carried that over. That House is just special if somehow you have never seen House. It has a beautiful criterion release, but this is essentially about somebody that is trying to find a connection to her mother that passed away, and she takes a trip to the countryside to visit her relatives. I think it's an aunt and uncle or just aunt whatever, but she she brings a bunch of her friends, and through this journey there's a bunch of weird stuff that happens.

It weird is putting it lightly, but you're gonna see imagery that you've never seen in any other movie. There are like floating cat heads, there are weird, surreal things that just make you feel And it's not even like

that's scary of a movie. It's just it's it's deranged in a weird way, and it's it's a weird foundational like introduction to just this frenetic style that is wild, and Obiyashi, like I said, carries that over to so many of his other movies, So I not only is it a fun weird gateway into like starting Jahorr to get into his filmography, this is such a great one to inspire you because it's probably the most accessible of

those as in terms of the weird ones. But he does have some very like normal films after that still, so there's still a little lot to see. But Obyashi is just great with I don't know, leaning into like the the medium of making this movie and making you feel things based on seeing the absurd. These are not things that are realistic in any way. It's just a matter of this is just a wild movie and I don't know why, but I like it. You should watch House from nineteen seventy seven if you haven't.

is really what it is. And you have our protagonist who wants to be a painter, and she ends up falling in love and with a man who comes to her door when she moves into or moves into the building, and so they fall in love, and then she's like torn, like do I pursue my life as a painter or

do I just pursue my family life? And in this particular world, there are a few people where it happens where when you have that moment in your life where you feel pulled in two different directions, you actually there's a doppelganger version of you that gets created and they don't live for very long. When they appear, it's like I can it's very specific like twenty three minutes and fifty eight seconds or something, and they have to appear

within a certain range of you. But that makes it really interesting because suddenly and they have like all the same feelings that you do and everything. So if you're doppelganger, if you're in love your husband and your doppelganger appears and sees your husband, then you're the doppelganger is going to want to be with him. And you end up if there are two versions of you that have like the memories and the same desires and everything, which which

one are you? Then you know? And the film really kind of starts pursuing that to a point where as you go you don't even realize that I actually probably shouldn't even spoil it. I'll just say it's fascinating the way that Asato chooses to tell the film, because you really start you can't tell if you should be rooting for the person or their doppelganger, And there ends up being like this whole like there's a club of people who get together who are suffering from having their doppelgangers,

and they're getting together to try talking about it. This cop has a dappelganger who isn't like has pulled into all of his incredibly violent reactions that he can't do when he's on the job because he has to be calm and collected, and so he split because he needs an outlet for that violence, and his violent doppelganger starts doing some terrible, terrible things. I just watched the I'm not talking about it on my upcoming show, but I hadn't heard of it, and it was like instantly, just

like a favorite discovery of mine. So I absolutely check. I recommend checking this one out.

a bunch of different fancy releases. Arrow has got all the blood out of this Stone many many times for sure with their releases, but this movie is still I don't know, like under disgust since it's so prolific now, I feel like everybody just sort of sees it as a given, even though this movie is kind of a masterpiece. I mean, you take a classroom full of ninth graders, you drug them, put them on an island, and then say go kill each other. And this movie is so

unafraid to hold back at anything. I mean, you have everybody that is willing to take just the craziest of weapons, put them in a hand of a young teenager and

say go kill your best friend. And they do, and they show most of it like this is everybody choked around that this was the inspiration for the Hunger Game, and undoubtedly this definitely played a big part in that for sure, But it is so much better than the the at least the first Hunger Games, because you don't Hunger Games is so tame compared to this movie, But I mean the way that you go through the psychological torture of if you don't follow the rules in this

quote game that we're playing will kill you and we don't care. And they prove that like twelve minutes into the movie, and so the rest of the movie, there's just this underlying boiling tension that is waiting to spill over on the edge of your pot as you're watching this movie. And so with every movement that you like, this kid's about to go around the corner, I'm empathizing

with him, is somebody about to shoot him? It is because of that this it's like uncut gems for me when I watch this movie every time, my heart rate is a NonStop for this entire movie, because there's everything that everything is the enemy. Nothing in this movie is something that you can trust, and you find that out

many times. There's so many betrayals in this film. There's so many things that you just see this incredible display of like wonderful acting, really great twists in the story that aren't treated as twists, just like, oh my gosh, that was crazy that they chose to do this. And then of course, throughout this entire movie, you're you're watching some of these kids just do the worst things, all forgetting that beat. Takeshi is one of the main stars of this movie, and you've watched them in some of

the best movies of all time. I like bat Royal is not respected enough, even though again it's kind of like ubiquitous for people because it's just always there.

It's it's a powerful, solid film and just these the way that these kids, you know, have to take on this this role, for the method, the reason for the whole thing, and it's it's it's dark. It's like a frightening glimpse of some sort of like a you know, terrible, terrible dystopian future, and it plays in a really incredible way. So, yeah, great movie. I haven't seen the follow up, but I I feel like I need to But yeah, it's a good one.

nine minutes long. It's like very very short, but it's it's fascinating because it's been made in nineteen ninety nineteen eighty eight by terryoshi Ishi, and it's a we're following a reporter who is doing a story about a new pop singer, and so in most of the construction of the film, you're really looking at a movie that's a documentary of a very specific time in Japanese kind of eighties of their just the way that these producers and

studios create their pop singers. And so that's kind of like what we're feeling because we're following as as this singer is prepping this new song and it's all about this new song that she's going to sing called Lovecraft. But the mystery here is like she's going to sing the song. The producer was sent this the lyrics for this song, but it has no idea who wrote it,

and that's kind of the crux of this. And then the composer writes the music and we start we get to the point where we're actually filming the music video, and then just crazy stuff starts happening, and it's is a quick film forty nine minutes, absolutely something worth checking out, just I mean, mainly because it does such an interesting glimpse into that pop singer culture in Japan and then shifts the whole thing over with kind of a jay horror ghost and everything.

to experience. Tetsuo the Iron Man is a industrial body horror movie about a man that gets cursed that starts putting metal all throughout his body and living a completely just transformed life as the film goes on, all leading to just a weird ending at the end that again you just sort of have to be there to live through the moment of this man turning into Tetsuo the

Iron Man. It is a beautifully shot film. It once again feels very frenetic as you're watching it, because like, what the hell is happening while you're seeing this random imagery being here by Shinyasukamoto's just beautiful cinematography, and the way that they choose to tell the story is like quiet in a way, but at the same time, like, I don't know, the it feels so and it's obviously a little a little stereotypical to say it's a body

horror movie, so it feels Chronamburgian, But there's something about this that is much more Chronambergian than other body horror movie because it just feels so lived in by the time you get to the film the end of the movie, like it reminds me the feeling of the fly, like you've been there for the entire transformation, You've lived through. This guy was just normal human to he is a completely different thing by the very end. And Tetsuo is

one of those movies that will stick with you. You at the end will feel like quite frustrated because you have seen so much change and felt sort of invaded, just like our main character is in this movie. It is one that will stick with you for a while. Tetsuo is again a little hard to explain, but one of those that pretty much everybody should probably watch at

least once. Sukamoto brilliant, brilliant director. I know that we've said Arrow a lot tonight, but the Arrow box set that they did of his stuff is kind of a masterclass in his filmmaking. Some really great extras in there. I think that his films are very specifically Suko and worthy of his own discussion on its own, for sure.

But it became one that was less about understanding what was going on in the story and more just like the experience of it, you know, like that's kind of where I went with this one, and like it it I when I was a kid, I'll this is the

story that's going on. I didn't mean to go into this story, but when I was a kid, I would have every time I had a high fever, I would have what I have since dubbed my steel wool nightmares, where like literally I was just like whatever dream I was in, all of a sudden, it's like steel wool coming in, just like eating everything around me, and I would just run and the steel wool was just kind of like keep crunching down on everything around me until it finally like I was narrowed down to like a

corner of a room or something, and then it would eat me and I'd wake up. Every time I was sick, I had that nightmare, and this movie made it feel like I was reliving those nightmares like it was, So it was a little extra challenging for me. But it's absolutely, like I mean, to be able to kind of create that visceral experience for me, I think it's pretty impressive.

It's really a story about the Internet and how everyone can connect instantly, but it's kind of also created like this mass, big of loneliness around and that's really been growing especially. I mean, this film was really precient because it's only gotten progressively worse with all the different social media tools and everything. To mention pandemics and everything else

that we've been living through. This film made in two thousand and one, so the Internet wasn't even around for a decade by the time he made this, And it's it's a story following some just like some people who are like kind of starting to like lose people that they like, they're they're just not showing up for work or something, and like they go over to their house to figure out like what's going on, and and they're there, but they're kind of not there, and it's it's very

I mean, it's very slow paced. If you know Kyosha Kyoshi Krosawa's films, definitely kind of that slow paced, very kind of like mood horror, and that's what you get here, as like you walk into your talking to somebody and then you they kind of go into the other room and and you follow along after a few minutes and find that they've hung themselves. Since it's like wow, okay, uh. It just and it keeps going from there as people are kind of getting more affected by this and it's

growing also, which is the other thing. It's a fascinating film, and it was I don't let's say I saw Cure. I was trying to remember my first my introduction to CHROs how I think was Cure and then this, But both of them I think are just such top notch films. But Pulse is it's haunting. This is what I would like, an absolutely haunting film in the way that it tackles like technological loneliness.

I will like this one. But yet not liking Cure has sort of pushed me away, So I will be watching this one soon. Well, I mean he's got that new film Cloud. Yeah, that maybe you start with that one and then you kind of work your way back to Pulse. Appreciate the comment from Stan This says, yes, I am wrong, thanks to Chime.

the movie, but I'm gonna do my best here. Twenty seventeen's One Cut of the Dead. This movie is a masterpiece in my opinion. This is a movie that if you are ever somebody that's ever played around with the video camera at home, or had the dream of making short films with your friends, or watched movies and immediately said, I want to be able to make a story like

that one day. One Cut of the Dead, I feel like, is one of the most consistent modern movies that when I watch it with other people, we walk away going, do you want to go make a movie? Right this moment, because my god, I'm super charged. One Cut of the Dead is a zombie movie about a bunch of individuals being attacked in this abandoned warehouse. You see them fighting off the zombies and trying to escape. And it's a film that is still feature length, it's not like an

extra short film. But it flies by because of the way they tell this story. And you are completely turned on your head part way through this film to find out that the movie that you thought you were watching is not the movie you were watching at all. For those that have never seen One Cut of the Dead, that is a frustrating way to explain this. But please do not go watch a trailer. Do not find out from anybody else what this movie is about or what

they thought of it. Don't read letterbox reviews first. Go watch this movie and know nothing about it. Truly a masterpiece. Now, this movie was carted out by Third Window Films a handful of years ago, and they're a company over the UK, and they took it worldwide. They made this movie explode, And so around twenty nineteen, like early twenty nineteen or late twenty eighteen, this finally left mainland Japan and we get over here, and everybody finally saw it, and it

has been everywhere since then. It had a really nice run on shutter. There's been foreign remakes of this movie because it's such a brilliant way to make a film. Please go see One Cut of the Dead if you have not seen it. It is not like a quote zombie movie. You're not going to get the same sort of feeling like you would just hearing that this is

a movie about zombies. This is one of the most cinematically grounded films of inspirational like just making a fucking movie already type of feeling because it's such a simplistic way to make a movie, and god, dang, is it just exciting One Cut of the Dead. Please tell me you've seen this and you love this.

not knowing anything about it. Just that's the best way to just go in and enjoy it. Is such a fun movie.

of creates a whole novel about it. So she gets a letter from a student about these these sounds from her roommate or from her room in her apartment, and they start investigating and talk and it becomes like this investigative reporter sort of thing with this author and this student as they then go around trying to figure out what is going on, and it plays like it's almost like this detective story is really what it ends up feeling like, because it's these two women who are who

end up basically tapping into a particular property, or not even property, but just the land that even the property is on and everything else that had been built upon it. And they keep doing research and they find this terrible thing had happened, and they think that's the story, but there's there's a thread that makes them go, there's something

else here. Let's talk to this person and they're like, oh, well, there's also this whole other thing that had happened before that, and you start seeing it's it's kind of like if you're familiar with the Grudge or jew on that franchise, Like it's this haunted place and it just kind of

like keeps attacking anybody who happens to come by. It's similar to that in the in the kind of the style, because there are all these different hauntings and somehow they all end up kind of becoming related to each other. And you start seeing why and so they go back like I think over a century by the time you get to the final stories and you start seeing and then and also the sense that it's gone even before that.

But you get this sense that and this is something I find that these Jay horror stories is the sense that something doesn't just go away, right. You can't just solve it, like in an American horror film where you're just like, oh, I found this piece of jewelry that proved that this person was incriminating. This is the incriminating of evidence. We need to prove that this person killed that person, and now the ghost is free. Like that

just doesn't happen. It's like, yeah, the ghost is still there, and now they're pissed and all these other things are going to happen. This is one of those. It's definitely deliberately paced, I will say, and that you can kind of feel that in the tone, but it had this sense of dread that it carried along with it that it worked well for me. The inerasable.

I guess. But I'm for some reason finding myself drawn to one of the more extreme titles. And so this is one that again probably many of you have seen, but I feel like it still does not get enough attention because it has a reputation. So I got to talk about nineteen ninety nine's audition Takashi mik This was really by arro In I think twenty nineteen, and I would not be surprised at all if this was released in four K at the end of this month. This

is one of those movies that deserves more recognition. It's incredible. But so this is a kind of a very tough movie to watch. Our main character, I think his name is Schigaru or Shagiru. He works at a film studio and he is widowed. He lost his wife handful of years prior and wants to replace her finally, and so understanding that he works at the studio, he says, let's hold some auditions, and so they bring all these women in.

They hold these auditions, and they find one that he thinks is great, and of course it's a jay horror movie, so she's not as she seems. And this character is a Sami and this movie goes from This movie goes from zero to like one hundred and fifty and breaks the scale because they're some crazy things that happen in this movie. There's some very effective, like pretty extreme gore shots. There's a really great scare in this movie that I don't know it's again, this is a really popular movie.

So I'm sorry if I'm spoiling this for you, but it will still be effective if you haven't seen it. There's a scene where you see this person Asami, like preparing some things, and in the background you see like some stuff behind her, and then eventually you realize that's a garbage bag on the ground that eventually moves, and it's not even it's not the forefront of this scene. It is captured because Takashi Mike is directed like one hundred and ninety four movies, so he's kind of good

at it. At this point. He's got this framed in a way where she is like your sole focus and you finally realize that this is like just some garbage behind her. But when that moves, it is such an unsettling, under your skin, creepy moment that I will live with that moment and that feeling for the rest of my life. Yeah, there's a couple of very famous scenes, like with piano wire in this movie, and uh, some stuff that will

as acupuncture needles are pretty intimidating. Yeah, this movie is very, very effective, and it's it's actual horror here, which I understand a couple of mine I've leaned away from that from the industrial side. And then one cut of the dead, So yeah, I had to really lean in. This is

one that people are like genuinely terrified of. This is a very effective Takashi Mike film, probably one of his most most seen obviously, but one that does not discuss in the uh in the pantheon of jayhor as a whole. It doesn't seem to get its due because it's not like quote unquote stereotypical like your Juwons and your Ringus.

And it is a really really well made movie and also came out in ninety nine, it was never going to be able to stand out when it's literally discuss is one of the best years of film ever and it's most people are watching one hundred and seventy eight

other masterpieces that year. It is so great, and if you can get through some of the extreme stuff, it is competing with your Irreversibles and your other films like that that are disgusting and terrifying and crazy that absolutely your masterpiece is just like Martyrs, like we talked about earlier, It's deeply philosophical, deeply psychological. It's a damaging movie. It is a movie that you will probably think about for

two or three days after watching. At the very least, tell me how you feel about Audition.

and then it shifts. Okay, I think we're going to go into kind of erotic thriller territory as we get to that point where they're at the resort and he wakes up and she's gone right, and it's like it so you feel like, Okay, now we're going to get into like the the basic instinct erotic thriller thing that where the rest of the story is going to go. And it doesn't. And I think that was such an interesting way to kind of like shift the story into

such a dark, dark way. But because I mean the whole first half of the film we're looking at like the destruction, like how destructive may be in relationships and the power that they wheeled over women, right, Like that's really what so much is going on in the story, and it's disgusting how these men like set up let's do an audition and find you a new wife. I get's like a horror viley. These people are the worst.

You kind of like want what happens to happen later. Yeah, but then it gets into like everything else and I don't know, it's just like it's kind of the result of the way that they behave and I don't know, I found it to be a really effective build for me, and man, it's it is a film that I will not forget, particularly her lovely lilting voice. Yeah, which is deeper, deeper, deeper, deeper, deeper. It's like, man, oh.

first one's called Howling Village. That's the only one I managed to watch. But it wasn't as good as I was hoping it was, but it was still really fascinating. So, I mean, that's like an interesting trilogy of Shimizu films that you can check out. It's like the Curse. I don't can remember. It's like the Cursed Village trilogy something like that, But Howling Village was an interesting one I was debating about. There's another another Maria Sato film called

Under Your Bed, which is a dark film about. It's a weird film because it's about it's a really it's about abuse and a woman who's stuck in a very very physically abusive, mental abusive relationship and a man who loves her from the outside and realizes what's happening. But it's in the weirdest way possible because he's stalking her and his cameras in her house and everything, but he loves her. It's a weird one. It's a very weird one,

but it's an interesting one for sure. So I don't know, there's there's a wide variety of things to choose from.

It's a weird kind of amalgamation film. It's from two thousand, directed by ryu Hey Kidamura, and the story behind how they had to make this movie will explain to you why the movie ends up the way it does, because essentially they would film some and then they had to go like earn money to film the next day, and sometimes they didn't and so they had to go do things for like three months and then finally get stuff together to be able to film those next couple of scenes.

There was one time they were filming on the mountain and essentially got kicked out of that area and had to go find a similar looking place on another mountain to keep filming, And it ends up being like this weird mashup of like five different genres. There's like some martial arts aspects, there's some action epic type of scenes

I really really enjoy versus it's pretty damn great. But the main one that I feel awful about not being able to include, and it's because it's got some of the best names in all of horror history, not just horror, but just Japanese cinema, and it's not one that has a really great HD release. So I'm gonna do my best to try to speak this into the ether now. Two thousand and four's Three Extremes anthology horror with some of the best names. Like I said, ever, fruit Chants,

Kashi Mike, and Park Chan freakin' Wook. You've got dumplings in this, You've got cut, and you've got box. Three different stories that are piled together in a really unsettling anthology that will mess you up for it. Yeah, unsettling is probably not even strong enough.

I think they're made. I mean they're three incredible directors, so that they're made with like this panache that feels great. And it's just it's a hard anthology to watch because it's not not easy stories, but it's one that everybody should see. We do have a question, Sip says, where do you know where you can get an English version of Under Your Bed?

Hold on, I think it was a different film that I can't share, but this one, I think is actually on daily Motion, which.

just watch movies, we love talking about them too. The Conversation with KB Loves Movies a part of Someone's Favorite Productions podcast Network.
